Zamacona

Zamacona is another enemy weakness, and like most, he is a much bigger problem in solo than multiplayer. There's a lot of supercheap technology that deals with him: handcuffs and spectral razor come to mind. Or stir the pot targeting another enemy. With mind wipe, a friendly mystic can make him extremely vulnerable to the countess’s trickery.

Elusive and "Spawn - Nearest empty location" can be a great aid (in case you want him to fall off a train) but if you’re only dealing one damage per attack, he’s going to stick around forever. The pitchfork, a beat cop(2), or drain essence (from someone else in the party) can deal with the Z-lister without having to chase him down even more.

I really hate him. He is so much trouble. Not he only stops Alessandra for doing her thing, but he also can take so many actions from you to beat if you don't have the right cards at the right moment. Sure, you can OHKO him with Spectral Razor or Dinamite Blast, but if you don't have the right cards in your hand when he spawns he may take at least 3 actions to kill (hoping you smack him for 3 health, move, engage, attack). Daniela Reyes will usually run cards good for dealing with him, so that's a thing too. He is even harder to digest than Hoods from Rita Young for me. — rodro · 70 3/30/24

Can't you just hit a Backstab for 3 damage? — MrGoldbee · 1404 3/30/24

You could, but Backstab requires you to have it in your hand and risk everything in a 4 base agility test. You are Rogue, so passing the test isn't a mayor concern, but you will lose all your round moving, engaging and backstabing him. And you must deal with him fast because he basically shuts off Alessandra because of Doom. Dealing with him in later stages of a scenario has proven devastating for my group in this last campaign, and usually I blasted him with Spectral Razor because Alessandra can't deal with him fast and she needs to do her Parley action every turn to be good. — rodro · 70 3/30/24

I don't get the point why you name cards to solve him that can't taken by Allessandra. If you want to deal with him easy take 2 string of curses in your deck. Since it's a parley Allessandra can take it and if you play it zamacona get one doom and you can choose the second option to defeat him instantly. The other option beside guns is backstab. And yes you can probably get a lot out of two damage options and Delilah. — Tharzax · 1 3/31/24

You can't use String of Curses on him, he says you can't Parley with him and String of Curses is a Parley card. — Soul_Turtle · 412 3/31/24

Then Backstab seems the best choice if you want to get rid of him fast as Allessandra. — Tharzax · 1 3/31/24

Someone else can String of Curses him :). — MrGoldbee · 1404 4/3/24

But then he didn't get the doom from his forced ability. So Allessandra needs to parley first — Tharzax · 1 4/5/24

This enemy spawn in another location and it ran away after you attack him. Getting rid of it seems like a lot of work. However, rogue got a card that deal with enemy in any location, Damning Testimony. With expose upgrade, you can just discad him with investigation action from the other location. You can even use Backpack to find it. I think it's the fastest way to deal with him. (Some exp required)

P.S. Backpack use body slot which is taken by Fine Clothes, so personally I use Friends in Low Places (named item and illicit) to find it.

I guess it's fast. But spending 3 evidences on this dude looks way too expensive for me. (Assuming, you don't hit him before to reduce his health.) Personally I think, "Expose" is rarely worth it. Looks like cool tech for "Before the Black Throne" to snype Acolytes and the Wizard of the Order from locations, you cannot access otherwise. (There is no real other way to do that in the current card pool, as all cards, that let you teleport require the locations to be revealed.) — Susumu · 338 4/23/24
