FAQs

(from the official FAQ or responses to the official rules question form)

  • NB: ArkhamDB now incorporates errata from the Arkham Horror FAQ in its card text, so the ArkhamDB text and the card image above differ, as the ArkhamDB text has been edited to contain this erratum (updated October 2024): Erratum: The first line of this card should read "Limit 1 Mask per investigator." - FAQ v2.3, Oct 2024.

  • "As If": This was added to the FAQ (v.1.7, March 2020) and then amended (v.1.8, October 2020). You can read the October ruling on the ArkhamDB rules page here. (I'm adding a hyperlink rather than retyping the rules in case in future the ruling is changed or amended - at that point, the rules page will be updated and all ArkhamDB FAQ entries will link to the correct ruling.)

For a long time I have sat and theories why you would take this card, the only clear solution is "you are playing a character with really high agility", and yea maybe you pick this mask for the alone but its coming into play ability as far as I can tell is worthless, it is even worse than if the mask itself had fast (given then you could fast play it to be able to clear a tricky test).

Perhaps there is some potential here but everything I think of would be better served by switchblade level 0.

Save for one lone soul, one light in the darkness who sees a non fast asset that plays an asset and smiles, who sees the icons on this card as being more valuable than the discard effect.

The man men love, Dexter Drake.

You can put Volto into play fast with his ability (and for free) then immediately get another asset into play without spending an action, then the turn afterwards you can feed his ability with the mask that remains in play.

The only other option for Dexter realistically is the willpower mask and I've never really needed healing as Dexter, and swapping tests out for willpower is pretty easy to do without the mask anyway.

Another person who might like it is Yorick, who can play it from discard pile on a kill to get a fast play of a card in hand. Though admittedly, he would much rather have bauta — NarkasisBroon · 10
Yea I think I personally would always take Bauta as yorick but if someone else wanted it I could see geting use out of Volto. — Zerogrim · 292
Wendy with Lockpicks and Scanvenging (2) seems like a good combo for me. But given, that the later is from "Weaver of the Cosmos", that was a long way from Venice to make this card working. — Susumu · 366
