Healing Words

Who knows an investigator who actually make use of this healing magic would be a Doctor, how ironic.

Strong part of this card lies in "among" ඞ keyword which make you able to split heal to 2 investigators and deliver 2 On the Mend in 1 healing action.

Refine

This card is not so fit for cluever in my opinion. According to my practical run they barely have free time for some DIY hobby.

I just finished EotE. I went greedy and got 2 copies of Refine on most of the scenarios. And manage to only land 2 Refine played throughout unskip EotE. Moreover, I felt some small sense of guilt each time I played it. Some of investigator-mate even upgrade leaning a bit toward clue getting afterward.

I should notice the fact earlier but sometime you just learn from a card. Cluever is generally busier. If you are fighter probably got some peaceful time when enemy not spawn.

I have an intense love for this card. I believe it goes best in a Carson Sinclair deck; you’re usually ending up with one or two actions to spare every turn, and the ability to level up a Hunter’s Armour or a Runic Axe every session is fantastic. It does depend on who your other investigators are, but in my current campaign I had at least three turns per scenario where I could have squeezed it in. Definitely going to put it under stick to the plan as well ❤️ — Louis Dooner · 69
"Get over here!"

This card is underappreciated. Even if it doesn't boost damage, it gives up to 3 actions, doesn't trigger attack of opportunity and can make you move a monster on a location of your choice to give you some advantages or to benefit from the presence of an ally.

Also, if you have an ally (probably Seeker) that is trying to gather clues but got an enemy from the encounter deck, you can pull that enemy from him.

Last, but not least this card helps alot with Aloof enemies. You engage and fight them in one action. Aloof enemies with 1 HP dies in one action instead of 2.

I find this card especially useful in my 2 investigators runs when you may want to split to cover more ground while still protecting the other investigator.

I doubted a lot between this and One Two Punch for the 5th card in my latest Lily deck, and I agree with you, this card is situational but when it works, it really gives one of these « yeah » moments that feel so good in this game. — Valentin1331 · 75633
Pocket Multi Tool

For 2 XP □ Pry Bar + □ Detachable combo is a bargain. I rarely get to use my Pocket Multi Tool in my own turn anymore since everyone else wants to take the pry bar to fix their problem in the Mythos Phase. +2 is the magic number.

Even after all had survived the Mythos Phase without exhausting my Pocket Multi Tool, "skill test on a treachery" still includes threat area treachery like a Forced check on Frozen in Fear. Some that required an just to try a test has synergy with □ Detachable since anyone could try anyone else's threat area with their own stat and take the pry bar adding to it, giving more turn order flexibility. My party is prying everything with this dang bar, from defending against lightning strike to prying evil spirit away from possessing my partner. Supposed if pry bar has one more □ like the other +1 customs I still wouldn't complain.

Forget some outer godly flute, that pry bar is the real ruler of the mythos — Nenananas · 258

Custom Modifications

There’s an interesting synergy with the Old Hunting Rifle here. Normally, fighters don’t plan on taking too many shots that have a chance to miss due to the value of ammo tokens on weapons, making the ability to reroll base tokens relatively redundant short of canceling the worst non auto fail token.

With the Old Hunting Rifle though, firing it normally can be quite a crapshoot due to skulls jamming the weapon and screwing you out of a shot at the worst possible time. The ability to reroll said skulls is a godsend in this situation, making it a lot more reliable.

As of right now, there’s two classes that can have level 2 guardian access that also have access to the Rifle: William Yorick and Lola Hayes. Lola is effectively out due to not being able to use the rifle and trigger the reaction on custom modifications together, which leaves our favorite gravedigger. Said gravedigger is normally somewhat at a loss for high damage firearms, but there’s a second synergy available to him: Quicksilver bullets and Will to Survive.

The 3 or more condition on Quicksilver Bullets is usually a bit of an ask. But what if, say, you had a turn in which you didn’t need to pull any tokens? Preload the rifle with some Extra Ammunition, throw a Police Badge at the nearest boss enemy, and you’ll be able to dish out 20 health worth of damage in a single turn, and that’s discounting recursion shenanigans with the Badge.

The biggest downside to this is that Yorick is a bit short on reloading events, and as custom modifications is an event, it doesn’t mesh well with his usual play style of plucking a freshly loaded gun off the nearest warm corpse; apparently servants of the mythos only buy mass produced gear. It’s still worth considering to load up for a big boss kill though.

Venturer is endless ammo in yorick if you can afford it, best to use alongside a team that can benefit from it too. — Zerogrim · 295
Another way to prolong the fun is with Well Maintained, that also brings back the Custom Mods to your hand — Valentin1331 · 75633
Regarding Lola Hayes. She technically can use both Hunting Rifle and Custom Mod together. You have to start “survivor” activate the Hunting Rifle’s Action then use Lola’s “fast” action to swap to “guardian” during the skill test (same time where you commit cards). This would make lola a guardian when the chaos token is drawn. — Daerthalus · 16
Lola only needs to be in Guardian to activate the token cancel. The rest is a property of custom modifications and takes effect regardless. — Lailah · 1
Can't Daniela also take this convo? Although obviously she only gets the token cancelling effect, and at that point is it much better then heavy furs? — Shanba · 1
