Another routine investigation spell, the lineup of options now includes Rite of Seeking, Sixth Sense and Clairvoyance, a good lineup!

Taking horror is not a problem, not much of a problem at least, you might shy away from using Shrivelling (enter Azure Flame or Wither) or you might teck in Horror healing via Fearless to balance things out.

If you mix the clue spell assets in one deck to have 4 or 5 cluegetter spells your ability to clue will rival a , this sort of dependability is something that the faction hasnt had insofar. The future is bright for the class.

A straight up competitor for Shrivelling!!

I think I personally prefer the horror suffering from Shrivelling, however as a campaign progresses the negative tokens will quickly outnumber positive tokens, especially on hard, so while Azure Flame is more dangerous, it is less likely to hurt you.

This is a brilliant card to replace or supplement Shrivelling in a spell based deck that does ALL of it's fighting with magic. It also means you can build a who is as likely as a to be able to fight completely routinely. Is the class the new ? If you have 2 copies of this and 2 copies of Shrivelling you might as well be!

Roland's ability, the card!

Grete Wagner is super expensive, so not an autotake by any means, but the ability to turn killed enemies into clues is brilliant, if you have a powerful cash engine (such as by adding Stand Together and Clean Them Out) then you can run Grete plus a good weapon and not be completely broke, at which point you should be able to munch through enemies and rack up clues with her.

It's a brilliant Roland Banks card, it directly synergizes with his shtick. It's a great Mark Harrigan card, as the damage she takes is a card for Mark, All the characters really can use her, but I would like to say that she stands out perhaps exceptionally in a deck that has powerful economy to start with (Zoey, Leo, Tommy, where there is enough resources rolling around to pay for both her and the weapon of choice as fast as possible, Grete is useless if you cannot win fights!

Grete Wagner upgraded is also very good, especially for a Roland where the + is useful and the ranged-cluegetting synergizes with his base ability to become hyper-efficient at turning beaten enemies into clues.

Be aware that, like Roland Banks, the ability specifies that -you- must defeat the enemy to net the benefits.

Grete Wagner is good, but be careful about your resource economy.

This is much more of a standalone card than Counterpunch.

The fact that this card happens before the triggering attack means that you can use it to walk through weak enemies (and kill them in your stride) or safely engage and beat tough 5+ health foes (Say there's a 6-health enemy 1 location away, to kill it you need to hit it 3 times with your machete, but you only get 2 actions to attack it, this card will cover you for that last attack).

For a character that needs to play it safe, you can see this as more of a Dodge upgrade than Counterpunch upgrade, which might be good for deckbuilding reasons.

This card is one that just keeps on giving!

The initial "Ready asset" text might not seem immediately useful, and really, this is something you will more often than not just ignore.

The bonus Fight action, this is gold. It's very common that you're stuck staring at an enemy 1 location away because you're unable to tackle it in 1 turn with your loadout, the bonus action via Galvanize can fix this issue. Additionally, there is also the not unusual case of missed attacks! Redoing a missed attack when you would otherwise be out of actions, will, save, lives.

This card is a hugely costly card for a deck, but even if you dont have the funds or incentive to use this to fight, you can commit it for 2 icons like a Guts, this also allows you to play this card in the usual Guts cardslot, which can really smooth things out in terms of deckspace (I.E, dont think of Galvanize as a new event, think of it of a Guts upgrade that also has an expensive but useful clutch action.

Oh, and when you start building up XP, you can go back to that asset-ready mechanic and giggle with glee Think: Beat Cop or Agency Backup ;)

Here is a list of things you might unexhaust for fun and profit:

Agency Backup. Alice Luxley. Beat Cop. Blessed Blade. Boxing Gloves (when youre being swamped). Kerosene. Stick to the Plan. Telescopic Sight (double tap!). Well Prepared.
