Perfect Form: You Are Now Sharpe Enough

What happens if you take a weak Rogue/Mystic and build it to be something else entirely? Welcome to a perfected Amanda Rousseau. Ready to dominate any campaign on Hard with 7-10 actions per round and hand-to-hand boss kills in two turns?

Action Economy: 10 | Fight: 10 | Soak: 10 | Resources: 10 | Consistency: 9 | Tempo: 10

OVERVIEW / TL;DR Sefina starts the game with The Great Work and Charon's Obol as well as Delve Too Deep to maximise XP and ramp up the curve as fast as possible. While doing so using mystic cards like Spectral Razor and Read the Signs will help you to be useful for the group. You basically play Sefina but start to build your Deck in a way that suits Amanda.

EARLY MYSTIC UTILITY While ramping up you stay extremely useful to the group with high-impact Mystic cards. Spectral Razor deletes enemies and Read the Signs pulls clues without wasting actions.

Pick aggressively for economy and setup: Fist Faustian Bargain later Hot Streak to push under her and use the Painted World to get money.

Take in the Thick of it to = The Great Work + Charon’s Obol + Delve Too Deep immediately to explode your XP curve from scenario 1.

Once the Painted Worlds are spent, you fully transform into Amanda mode with a 6/4/4/5 statline and god-tier action compression.

ACTION ECONOMY / TEMPO You will have 7 Actions every round, sometimes 10 if you draw Ace in the Hole. Almost every 3 rounds you can fire off Justify the Means to automatically win all skill tests without its downside. This turns you into a one-woman army capable of fighting, investigating, moving, and drawing all in the same turn repeatedly.

COMBAT You are the ultimate fighter hence you can use your 7 Will with breath of the Sleeper to fight if needed. Should you have enough money and well connected, use the Knuckleduster to do 2 damage.

Or every 3 Rounds be Super Sajan and beat everything to dust with 14-20 dmg

With this setup we beat down the last boss in the current expansion within 2 rounds in hand-to-hand combat on Hard difficulty without any problems.

SURVIVABILITY You will be almost immune to damage due to Spectral Shield, Breath of the Sleeper, and Eyes of the Dreamer (18 Soak total). Or use the damage to set your Red Clock to whatever stage is useful to you right now.

RESOURCES & CONSISTENCY All the money in the world due to Hot Streak combined with your Lucky Cigarette Case and Well Connected. Once you have run through your deck once and played your assets, you can pick cards from your deck at any time.

This isn’t just playing Sefina or Amanda it’s playing both at their peak and then transcending into something far stronger that both could not accomplish on their own
