I think this is the discipline you take unless you have a key and critical use for one of the other three, even if you are mainly going to focus on weapons and fighting with lily I would still advise taking this discipline first for one reason that trumps the other three.

Alignment of spirit can be flipped back incredibly reliably, being basically immune to your personal weakness is a good move to have before you get your XP. (made even more reliable with deny existence and other damage cancellation cards)

The other two side benefits are pretty plain too, healing on any turn where you take damage/horror and +1 to the most commonly tested defensive stat are both good for surviving longer on average, a fighter who survives longer and has more health can keep the rest of the team alive long and earn those juicy juicy victory points more consistently, which gets you to a more flashy discipline.

Great evasion card for Daniela Reyes no matter what her or her target's agility is. Built in auto-fail protection as the evade is guaranteed on success or failure. The three icons mean there's a decent chance you won't need to take an attack from failing. Guaranteed to draw you a card.

It loses some flexibility because of the restrictions on when it can be committed, but gains some back since three icons might be what one of your friends needs to turn them into a one-time fighter/evader.

It's basically the Toe to Toe for evading that replaces itself.

Well this is now the case: bring Bruiser x2 and you're set.

Take a Fire Extinguisher in one hand, Sea Change Harpoon in the other, and on the last attack to kill a monster, commit all your hand if you want to.

This includes:

Quick Thinking to get another action to play the Sea Change Harpoon back using the Bruiser money.

Daring/Overpower/Unrelenting

Resourceful x2 so that you can bring back Plucky to stay alive, or Brute Force in case you used it for the previous attacks.

Stunning Blow so that even if you don't finish the enemy this round, you still evade it.

All in all you could use for instance Brute Force during your Actions 1 & 2, and Commit Quick Thinking, Stunning Blow, Resourceful x2, Unrelenting, Overpower, Daring x2 on the last action with taking back your harpoon in your hand. Use the action from Quick Thinking to play the Sea Change Harpoon back.

This combo would result in: using 0 cards, 0 resources, drawing 5 cards, dealing 8 damages and automatically evading the enemy.

All the excessive draw can then be turned into extra for the Brute Force attacks.

And if you want to be sure to not fail the cycle with the , take a Nightmare Bauble with you :)

I'll jump in with a thumbs up for Haste with our favourite salesman Bob Jenkins. Sure, Bob could take Leo De Luca 0 or 1, but why when you have Gené Beauregard, Lola Santiago or Joey "The Rat" Vigil to choose from after scenario 1? Moreover, Bob becomes a sales machine with his free Item-buy action and spending just one regular action to play an item. All of a sudden one 'standard' action becomes three items, and when Shrewd Dealings is up those items can go to anyone. Haste lets Bob take that extra step on a long map - especially when he lucks out with Track Shoes, or investigate a bunch of times, or fight with .18 Derringer - especially good because with a middling Fight of 5 (3+2), he might miss once, and can try again for free. So gimme Hasty Bob any day of the week.

All of the new triple class talents from Edge of the Earth are very neat cards that can grease your wheels and make you better at what you do. No matter who you are or what deck you're building, you're pretty likely to find what you're looking for between the 5 of them.

Sleuth however has a few peculiar things going on. The discount on playing those three traits is fairly universally good; the strange thing about it is that if you're about Charms and/or Tomes you have very few ways of continuing to use Sleuth once you've used it to play your stuff. Apart from literally 3 Tomes, the only staying power of the ability is in playing Tactics, a trait which only appears on Events, and therefore are hard to use more than once or twice a game each.

There are scant few cards with these traits which wouldn't benefit at least partially from the resource discount. To help save time on checking interactions for the ability, I've made this chart:

Charms

As of the release of Edge of the Earth there are no Charm cards with skill tests on them.

Tactics

• Clean Them Out: This and the next three cards (and Sweeping Kick) make Sleuth worth considering for Nathaniel Cho. However, he may prefer Prophetic instead since the Spirit trait encompasses all of these cards and more.
• Counterpunch / Counterpunch (2)
• "Get over here!" / "Get over here!" (2)
• One-Two Punch / One-Two Punch (5)
• Interrogate: This card has always been difficult to pull off without lots of boosting, so having a +2 on tap makes this card pretty powerful for the few circumstances under which it can be played.
• Sweeping Kick
• Dodge (2): Few Guardians would consider this upgrade since generally is a dump stat in that class. With a +2 the average Guardian now has a chance of doing the damage.

• "I've got a plan!" / "I've got a plan!" (2): The only Tactic with a skill test on it, the level 0 one has always been expensive and shaky to pass without boosts.

• Backstab / Backstab (3): Not likely to be used by most Sleuthers, but this has always been a bit difficult to pull off without boosts.
• Followed: Equally unlikely to be used but still nice with a boost.

• Flare: Funny to use to boost the Fight but might make your friends angry.
• Waylay: Most Sleuth users probably won't take this to begin with, but this is a card you really would prefer not to miss on.
• Improvised Weapon: All the Improvised events are great for the -1 difficulty but could all do with a boost as well.
• Winging It
• Impromptu Barrier
• Act of Desperation: Generally doesn't need to be boosted unless you're throwing something tiny like a Flashlight.

Tomes

• Medical Texts / Medical Texts (2): Useful for avoiding the failure on the level 0, and for helping to oversucceed on the level 2.

• Abyssal Tome: Can help get that first hit off when you only have 1 doom on it.
• True Magick: This takes us into "as if" hell but if I'm not mistaken this interaction works.

...Plus an Edge of the Earth story asset.
