William Yorick as The Trophy Hunter [Deck guide][LADA]

Plot

The Gravedigger. The Ghoul Whisperer. The Trophy Hunter. William Yorick knows how to kill things and makes it in the funniest way.

Intro

The Path to Carcosa investigator pack brings William Yorick, an investigator who loves recursion and kill monsters. His signature move makes the recursive archetype obvious to the players and removes the need to combine it with Scavenging and stick to a more seeker or flex builds.

Main strategy

• Soak damage/horror with Guard dog, Leather coat and Cherished Keepshake.
• Fight with your weapons (Machete > .45 Automatic > Knife) and combo them with Vicious bow.
• Apply the easy combo section :)

Easy combos

• Bandages + Guard dog: Guard dog takes damage in order to make damage to an opponent, heal the damage of the Guard dog. This will keep the dog in play for most of the game.
• Let both Leather coat and Cherished Keepshake soak damage and go to the discard pile. Trigger the investigator ability in order to play each free (both are 0 cost).
• Same as before. You can use your .45 Automatic in tests if you already has your Machete in play in order to save some money (in the early game you are in a budget) and play it from the discard pile when you have more room.
• When you are in your comfortable zone use On the hunt in order to search those pain in the ass enemies and get your trophy with Bury them deep while you are preventing them to re-spawn.
• Use Schoffner's catalogue to play your weapons, you are saving some resources.
• Don't be shy and trigger the Discard ability from the Knife. You can play it later from the discard pile and that +2 boost +1 damage always are welcomed.
• Use your Resourceful cards to get back your Lucky! or Bandages or Schoffner's catalogue

Mulligan

You are the fighter so hard-mulligan and go for your weapons.

• .45 Automatic or Machete must be in your opening hand.
• Guard dog will be your BFF.
• Vicious blow helps a lot in the compression.
