Overview

• Umôrdhoth has 14 health in 2-player game.
• Police Badge + Leo De Luca + Skids's + .41 Derringer (2) = 8 actions
• Skids + Beat Cop + Lita Chantler + 2 * Encyclopedia + Machete = 10 (v.s. Umôrdhoth's 5 fight)
• Daisy need to keep using Old Book of Lore to find all necessary cards early.
• In case of bad luck, make sure you two can survive Umôrdhoth's attack 1 time.

With Daisy mainly doing investigating, Skids's missions are:

• As a fighter, kill evey threats and protect Daisy, especially for victory points.
• Help getting some clues if possible, to lessen Daisy's job.
• Get additional actions as many as possible, with ability, Leo De Luca, .41 Derringer (2) and Police Badge.

Starting Keycards

• Leo De Luca: Actions are expensive. Mulligan aggressively for this.
• Machete: Previously mutated card. Strong! Almost promise 2 damage. Mulligan aggressively for this.
• .41 Derringer: Backup weapon

Key Upgrades

• Beat Cop (2): +1 and counter Acolyte (MUST!)
• .41 Derringer (2): Easier +1 damage and potential additional actions! Use it on sure fight.
• Police Badge: Additional 2 actions
• Charisma: For Leo De Luca and Beat Cop

Other Cards Explain

• Backstab: Expensive! Plan B when having not enough
• Elusive: Not really useful, since Skids always fight than evade. But keep it as Plan B.
• Burglary: Skids is actually poor. Assets and events cost a lot. Get some resources at easy positions.
• Dodge: Only for saving Daisy from Umôrdhoth's attack.

0-2 The Midnight Masks

• Try your best to get 5 unique cultists, this makes 0-3 much easier.
• Get 6 unique cultists is possible if Leo De Luca comes early.
• Get The Masked Hunter. You don't want to see him in the woods with (+1 fight and +1 evade)

0-3 The Devourer Below

• Time goes very fast. Quickly help investigating.
• Note that Lita Chantler's +1 damage would not apply on Umôrdhoth. Since Umôrdhoth is Ancient One (Elder God), not a monster. Have some respect!
• Lita Chantler's +1 and +1 damage are still useful to elite monsters and Agenda 2a aura (+1 fight and +1 evade)
• Get into Ritual Site early and do sufficient prepare if you want to kill Umôrdhoth.
• Good Luck! Umôrdhoth.
