May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor, Wendy 19 XP

Girl With Bow Overcomes Impossible Odds

Here’s a fun deck I’m tinkering with for Dunwich Legacy (details at the bottom), but it could be great for any campaign. It features the Enchanted Bow to work around Wendy's deficiency. Clearly she's channeling Katniss, the hero of the Hunger Games books and films!

Fragile at First, but Blossoms into a Tireless Stalker

The side deck can be swapped in to reset to a campaign starter. Fair warning that it's rough relying on a janky Derringer with Live and Learn to stretch its ammo. So do whatever you need to do to get 4 XP fast for two bows!

Piloting Tips

• mulligan for Enchanted Bow (2) and Faustian Bargain
• when fighting, the bonus on the Enchanted Bow effectively brings her to 5 before bonuses from Peter Sylvestre or Track Shoes
• Sharp Vision, "Look What I Found!", and Perception let you leap on early clues
• Winging It should be spent early to re-draw from the chaos bag so that it can be played from the discard pile for the bonus clue
• remember that there’s no such thing as a dead card with Wendy. Every card can be discarded for re-draw!
• extra actions are potentially coming from Leo De Luca, Track Shoes, and Haste so once you've got some of these you can sprint to the remote parts of a map

Later XP Ideas

• the obvious tarot
• Lucky! (3) can help fellow investigators
• Manual Dexterity (2) is a bland option if there's XP to spare
• Devil's Luck (1) keeps you alive another turn in a final battle
• Aquinnah (3) cancels damage and uses jujitsu to deal it back to the big bad

Particularly Tailored for the Dunwich Legacy Campaign [Mild Spoliers]

• Dunwich has a plethora of mean test treacheries, so Wendy's 4 stat is great
• the Bow is a good choice since some enemies are easier to defeat with ranged weapons, penalize melee weapons, or are just plain annoying
• if you want to grab the "Impossible Victory Point" from The House Always Wins scenario, swap in a copy of "I'm Outta Here!" for the Knife
• there's an awful treachery called Beyond the Veil (featured in scenarios in 1 (or 2), 3, 7, & 8) that Wendy is uniquely good at managing
• A Test of Will could negate it
• in those 4 scenarios, try to leave as few cards as possible in the discard pile until your weakness is done or things get dire! Draw cards, focus on play of assets, recur events with the (Amulet), recycle non-events with Resourceful or Scrounge.
• consider adding an Alter Fate (1) early and definitely upgrade to Alter Fate (3) before scenario 7
