I want 1 deck in the Dunwich 2 Packs Deck Guide to utilize Adaptable meaningfully as an introduction to beginners how to use this card. Adaptable has 2 styles of use. First is to swap in level 0 card that synergised well only with your XP purchases, but not your starting decklist. Second is using your meta campaign knowledge of knowing the scenario and add in appropriate cards on campaign replays.

The first case we have Bandolier and Leo De Luca that aims to support the 2-handed Chicago Typewriter in the end. But when starting out, he is better off with Beat Cop to help the .41 Derringer (2) get the over-success and Bandolier is initially useless. You can make such transition now with Adaptable.

The second case he can switch between 3 scenario-situational cards "I'm outta here!", Fine Clothes, and "If it bleeds...". I have prepared those to-be-adapted level 0 cards in the Side Deck.

This deck is a fighter. It also introduce you to more over-success cards than the Revised Core Set with Opportunist (2), Vicious Blow (2), and Quick Thinking joining from the Dunwich box.

► About "2 Packs Deck Guide"
　A series of decks made with the new distribution model in mind, requiring a Revised Core Set box + just 1 more Investigator Expansion box. ⌂ character on the deck's name means the additional box it uses is The Dunwich Legacy Investigator Expansion.
　It maximizes the chance of newcomers being able to build and learn to play the game, enjoying the story on Standard difficulty ASAP. They can then get into deck-building later if they wished to do so. See other decks in the "2 Packs Deck Guide" series here.

A : You should be able to buy 1x Chicago Typewriter each time, use this chance to adapt in 2x Bandolier then 2x Leo De Luca.

"I'm outta here!", Fine Clothes, and "If it bleeds..." can use Adaptable freely as you like outside of the Bandolier / Leo De Luca transition.

It keeps 2x Flashlight to work with Bandolier, but that's it for the investigation. Lockpicks aren't considered as I like the ability to drain out Flashlight supplies without exhaustion to make way for Chicago Typewriter when Bandolier can't be found.

This guide is with Dunwich campaign in mind, which gives you low XP. Extra section represent where you may not be able to reach on your blind run. If you do reach Hot Streak, then Chicago Typewriter can be afforded much easier and he can also spend 2 to buy actions more. Until then, work with Lone Wolf to fund it.

Meta campaign knowledge

When doing campaign replays, to use Adaptable between "If it bleeds...", "I'm outta here!", and Fine Clothes, it may help if you map out which scenario you need which. Account for scenario where you swap in Bandolier as well as you would need 2 swaps quota there, try swapping in earlier scenario in that case. Some campaign has more than 1 answer, and you can mix up 1x of each card.

For example when playing Carcosa I would make this draft : 1. Resign, 2. Parley, 3. Resign, 4. Resign, 5. Monster, 6. Parley, 7. Monster, 8. Monster.

Card tips

Opportunist ••

This card plays with 3 things having over-success cases : .41 Derringer (2), Quick Thinking, and Vicious Blow (2). Add more from Hard Knocks as necessary, if unavoidably vs. difficult tests.

Don't forget the it adds as well.

Vicious Blow ••

Other than the Opportunist (2) combo and helping .41 Derringer (2) get the extra action, it is obviously for Chicago Typewriter hit which can pump up +2 on itself to reach the over-success clause. If you managed to do so, it is 5 damages! (Maximum of Shotgun, and here you have even more ammo.)

Chicago Typewriter ••••

A big hit with Vicious Blow (2) that you spent additional actions should not be underestimated over shooting multiple times for higher damages. Remember that one big hit you pull the chaos bag only once. Besides, you can use Leo De Luca's action, or get an action back with Quick Thinking.

Adaptable •

You can use it immediately after purchasing, not having to wait until the next scenario.
