Sleight of Hand Sefina (10xp Ornate Bow build)

Ornate Bow... who is it good for?

SEFINA, that's who.

Why?

Sleight of Hand, that's why.

Not as a primary source of damage, mind you, but for those big bursts that Sefina has previously had such a hard time with, even with Backstab at her disposal.

Toss in Double or Nothing, fueled by Premonition + Streetwise + Dark Prophecy, and you actually end up with a very reliable source of big damage for Sefina. Only Sefina can pull this off with any consistency.

With Sefina, Ornate Bow + Sleight of Hand on their own have the optimal potential for 15 points of damage (3 damage 5 times)over the course of a scenario, at the cost of 5 resources and two extra actions (the 2 draws for Sleight of Hand once The Painted World runs out. For the same amount of actions with Backstab, the same amount of damage (15) would cost you 15 resources. The only real downside is the need for 2 copies of Sleight of Hand -- something that wouldn't be necessary with Backstab.

Nevermind all that, though -- Backstab is still here! Only now it's a backup plan, and not something you have to pray will be there when you need it.

Dario is here to exploit Double or Nothing with Streetwise, and to provide the bonuses until the dump into Streetwise is needed.

Why would we need to dump into Streetwise?

Double or Nothing, that's why.

But if we're going to rely on THAT plan, it better be fairly foolproof, right?

That's where Premonition and Dark Prophecy come in.

With all of this, it is entirely possible to be 100% sure that you WILL land that 6 damage -- in a SINGLE ACTION, and that it will cost you exactly 2 resources + whatever you'll need to dump into #Streetwise. And if you pull the with Dark Prophecy, that's a +3 on Sefina.

Remember: Premonition, Dark Prophecy, and Sleight of Hand are ALL Fast actions!

Shrivelling is the new rat-killer for Sefina with this deck, and Spirit Athame just isn't needed, because we'll finally be consistently relying on over Spells for damage when it matters the most.

This thing is really worth fooling around with, and I hope you'll give it a shot!
