Zoey Solo - Hard Mode

Hello guys

I used this Zoey Samaras deck to beat the Night of the Zealot solo in hard mode. Before we talk about the campaing lets talk about the itens and why i have picked each one.

To kill enemys: I think 4 weapons is enoght to beat all the enimes of the scenario. I choiced the ones i consider the best one hand. The Prepared for the Worst can help you to find some of them. Moreover the Vicious Blow and the Zoey's Cross can help you to find the dmg to kill enemys. The Overpower will help you to hit them in hard dificulty.

To take Clues: well this is the Zoey's weakness. She have a poor skill to investigate what can be a problem in Hard/Expert mode. I picked 8 itens to resolve it (Flashlight, Drawn to the Flame, Grete Wagner, Evidence!). Throughout the campaing i found the Flashlight to be ineffective without the Rite of Seeking. So I recommend that only use Flashlight with Rite of Seeking combo (i'm testing another variant whitout Flashlight and after i will post the results).

About the other cards: Lucky! -> will give you some security to fail and come back. Shortcut -> you can gain 1 action for free. Glory -> some cards draw. Dodge -> will allow you to ignore some enemies or protect yourself from some boss.

Talking about the Campaing (Spoiler):

1 - The Gathering: i dont have much to say about the scenario. Keeping going, kill the Ghoul Priest, dont burn the house and that's it.

Exp Upgrade (I won 8exp): 1x Lightning Gun (5) out 1x .45 Automatic 1x Vicious Blow (2) out 1x Vicious Blow 1x Extra Ammunition (1) out 1x Glory

2 - The Midnight Masks: That scenarios is a little bit difficuty to do alone. You need a lot of moves, clues and find a lot of cultists (six of them). The time is short, so make sure to take some resources in your home (site action), parley some cultits (pay 5 resources, discard 4 cards). With the Lightgun you can one shot almost the enymes of scenario. In my campaing i got 4x Cultists from the Special Deck, 1x Cultist from the Encounter Deck and 1x from the Agenda. And my Agenda was with 7 dooms, so close to loose (i got 4x clues with Drawn to the Flame, 2x clues with Evidence! and 2x clues with Grete Wagner). If you dont got the 6x cultist in this Scenario, the next will be too hard.

Exp Upgrade (I won 9exp) 1x Vicious Blow (2) out 1x Vicious Blow 1x Extra Ammunition (1) out 1x Glory 2x Police Badge (2) out 2x Flashlight 1x Overpower (2) out 1x Overpower

3 - The Devoure Below: With Zoey Samaras my main strategy is to accumulate resources go to the Ritual site and waiting for the Umôrdhoth (don't spend resources to prevent the Ritual). You have to pass the Agenda test (6), because if you dont this scneario will be impossible to win. So when the boss spawning making sure you have the Lightning Gun ready to kill them. It's not too hard to one shot him with Vicious Blow and Overpower. If you need, discard Badge to take 5 actions.

To finish i think i can improve this deck, to the final version. Give me your opinions on comments I will go to the Dunwich challenger now.I have made some changes in main deck:

In 1x Lone Wolf 2x Ward of Protection 2x Beat Cop 2x Scene of the Crime 2x .45 Thompson

Out 1x Shortcut 2x Lucky! 2x Grete Wagner 2x Flashlight 2x .45 Automatic
