Stir the Pot strikes me as a potential Preston card because I remember discovering Cunning Distraction being good for him (since he can afford it) when I did a RtTCU playthrough a while ago. Using it often resulted in a bunch of enemies building up at one location, so blowing them all up with Stir the Pot could be a useful play, and the more enemies there are the more likely it is that one of them will have enough stats to get the job done.

Persistence is probably really good for Pete - toss it to refresh duke, play it from discard. He can probably get decent mileage out of the pelt as well.

Persistence doesn't shuffle itself back into your deck when committed from your hand, only from your discard, so you can just commit it normally to any skill test to get it into your discard. Pretty handy for Silas, he can commit it from discard and then return it to hand if he doesn't need the boost/fails regardless.

Monty with Rogue 0-3 is interesting enough. Now he can take those 3xp events that return to your hand. Ancient Evils released a long power ranking of all investigators. I agree with most of it. Parallel Agnes has been one I've wanted to try, and they have her as S-tier. https://derbk.com/ancientevils/the-2024-ancient-evils-comprehensive-investigator-evaluation-and-power-ranking-tierlist/

I am shocked they have Patrice as one of the three worst investigators in the game. Granted I've only played with her once and it was even a bit of a gimmick Mind's Eye build but I thought she did fine in my Expert campaign, and if I wasn't trying a weird gimmick she'd probably be even better. I feel like it wouldn't make much sense for patrice to have a normal 12-point statline given that she wheel of fortunes every turn, and I feel like the complaint about reactive cards seems... strange? Like isn't that the point of the card, that you have to use them now or toss them? Honestly I don't remember my Patrice build so I don't remember if I played them but they don't even seem that bad because you don't draw a relevant mythos card you just pitch them to skill tests anyways right, and they practically all have a ? pitch icon.

Should have been an N/A, she's not their playstyle. She's not mine either, but I play two-handed solo so she loses rating just for being yet another thing my ADHD-rattled brain has to try to keep track of. She also suffers a lot in some scenarios or even campains with hidden treacheries. I hear she's one of the best true solo investigators, but I haven't played true solo in years so I can't say.

Sister Mary being that low saddens me but I understand it's because of the nerf to Deny Existence, which I just ignore. I've also seen a compelling video rating Jenny among the strongest in the game just based on Green Man Medallion but until I play it I can't say if it's accurate. Only Daisy making it to S out of the Seekers is surprising. I think the big things I disagree with are Ursula and Calvin being that low. I'm not sure why people are rating Ursula low these days, a free investigate action is incredibly good! It's practically an extra clue per turn. Yeah her signature isn't great and maybe you don't want any relics but the good thing about Seeker is that you can only play Seeker cards and still have an excellent deck. She's only gotten more free movement options since release as well. Calvin is also highly underrated imo, it's very easy to keep him alive now and pump him up to 6+ in all his stats. With Scanvenging, Ice Picks and a weapon he can then just mollywhop a scenario without issue. I'm also a weirdo who has Luke down in C tier, but that's only me. I've never seen anyone else rate him that low. ChewyLSB posted:I am shocked they have Patrice as one of the three worst investigators in the game.

I found Patrice quite mediocre when I played her tbh. She can be good but yeah if you spend your resources and then draw a key asset you're just kinda hosed and have to wait until it comes around again. It was probably not a fair example of her when I played since I was trying to use a janky Fighter deck so maybe she'd be better as a Cluevor though.

I feel like sometimes the devs create an investigator and then purposefully counter them with their own campaign. Preston got screwed by Haunted punishing fail-tech. Patrice gets screwed by the hidden cards in Dream-Eaters. Trish gets screwed by engage effects in Innsmouth. Daniela got screwed by monsters adding Tekeli-li's in Edge of the Earth. And they're always the investigators I want to play, dammit! Nephthys fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jan 2, 2024 |

Ursula is very good in two player, but scales badly when there are more clues on locations than she can pick up in a turn. I haven't tried Jenny with GMM, but I have tried Dexter Drake with Delve too Deep, Charon's Obol, and Arcane Research. With Yorick as a partner for a free 6 or 7 XP per scenario, it was pretty busted.

I've generally found Patrice to be very solid. You get a Moonstone and a Granny Orne or Peter Sylvester (2) and slam down some mad spells. Get Charisma and Miss Doyle and your weakness ceases to be a problem. And you can dump tons of ? skills down on almost every check. She's not top tier, but she's pretty fuckin solid.

Patrice is amazing. All you need is two copies of cornered and your stat line becomes 6 in whatever you need, twice. With the new skill card you commit from the trash, even more flexibility. And she goes through dilemmas like no one’s business; multiple times per game, you can either move all the players or get all the enemies towards you and engage them as you want.

 I don't know who wants this besides maybe Kohaku. It's a charm so Zidane can use it I guess. Other curse cards give you much better benefits, though this gives you more control over exactly how many curses you're adding.  Not a fan of how inconsistent Absolution looks to be but I think it's alright as a heal that adds a bless token or two once you've got a decent number of blesses already in there. It doesn't scale well with resources added but obviously it's worth spending for it if you really need it.

An infinite converter of 1 action into 4 resources and 3 curses seems extremely powerful to a curse synergy deck to me. I’d even be willing to entertain that 1 resource does more work than 1 curse does to harm a normal character, to a reasonable extent.

The problem is that most of the cards that want curse tokens in the bag, as opposed to mitigating the harm they do, are not Rogue cards. There's Tristan Botley, who granted is a pretty good ally, and Lucky Penny, which uses the same slot as this card. Oh, I forgot about Eye of the Djinn, which has to be what you're going for if you're using the Scrimshaw, right? I'm getting close to talking myself out of my own position.

The fun with Calvin is trying to do things without a statline and building up to the full stats without killing yourself or spending too much time doing it. I found him very powerful but he still has enough inherent tension to be interesting. A lot of things scale badly with higher clue counts, Rex and Trish are rated highly for being able to get an extra clue per turn but there isn't much difference between that and Ursulas ability. When you get enough free movement, there's no reason you have to clear a location before moving. I'm a bit doubtful when it comes to Jenny myself, just because I struggle to buy crushing a scenario hard enough to abuse GMM when you're weighed down by her statline.

Absolution could be good in Carolyn. Each separate instance of healing would be resolved independently, so she or the target gets one resource per sanity healed, making the card "pay x, reveal tokens equal to x + 3, gain resources and heal sanity among investigators equal to bless tokens revealed, add 1 bless token for every non symbol token revealed." Which means she can afford to really pump this card up and likely gain most of her money back, especially in campaigns or with decks that have a lot of extra symbols on the bag.

 This card gets a lot done but I think it's fair at 3XP for the Seeker pool. It's also got Joe Diamond's name written all over it.  And Vamp got an upgrade. Most Rogues could probably score two out of four, right? Someone in the MB Discord pointed out that the parley cards don't really have any built-in stat boosts, even the high level ones, which could well be due to the existence of Fine Clothes. I think it's a pretty reasonable restriction though, given that they're now so versatile they can stand in for a lot of fight, investigate, or evade actions.

I'm reading it right that with upgraded vamp you could evade a non-elite enemy to move them to an adjacent location, then get a clue from that location rather than the one you're on? It seems pretty good.
