Vamp makes you perform multiple skill tests in one single action, which can be used in some fun combos.

Fun combo 1 : Preston Fairmont can play vamp and easily fail all 4 tests (in hard or expert, there is no +1). After you end your turn, play Lifeline to get 4 more actions. You can double double the vamp to get 8 actions (Im not sure if you can double lifeline or not).

Fun combo 2 : Since you can decide the skill test order, you can fail first to play Grit Your Teeth, and get +1 in other 3 skill tests.

Fun combo 3 :Dirty Fighting and British Bull Dog--- ①Play Vamp, test to fail and show your bulldog. ②Test to autoevade the enemy, and triggers dirty fighting to shot with bulldog, deals 2 dmg. You got +2 in attack since the enemy is exhausted. ③Test other 2 skills. You still got +2 since the enemy is exhausted.

In music, vamping means: fill time by doing the same basic thing. And because with fine clothes you can pass any of these tests, there’s a case for doing every one of these options… because some turns, you wanna pass a lot of tests!

The best combo here is with Gregory Gry. Put him into play (either as an action, then ending your turn with calling in favors, or with Hit and Run, to use him again later.) Use other cards to boost your tests. Rogues have dozens of over succeed tools. Bet money on succeeding, and earn a ton of pocket change as you evade, damage, undoom and earn a clue. Extra fun for Trish (who can turn the one clue into two), or anyone with dirty fighting, who can turn the evade into a free attack. It also stacks with the .25 pistols. In the most buckwild configuration, Chuck Fergus lets Trish play this fast. She gets eight net resources for hitting and running with Greg. Then get two clues from enemy. Then either removes a doom and evades it (shooting it three times with your 25s and dirty fighting, four times with haste…). For zero actions. Or with your bonus action if you’re the Countess.

Your teammates check their watches. You still have actions left.

This seems broken and undercooked. Insane value for what it is. I imagine this would make sense if it could be used only on enemies with trait Humanoid and the test difficulty would be dependent on that enemy's attributes.

Simple notes:

• With Fine Clothes, the difficulty of the test becomes (0), which means that each test will succeed except auto-fail().
• A clue at a connecting location could be discovered via Vamp(3) by testing to move the enemy to a connecting location (only for non-Elite) before test.

This card is absolutely insane.

With level 0 fine clothes on, you pass all of these tests with no commits unless you draw a tentacle and there is no penalty for tentacle draw. That's an extraordinary amount of tempo in one card, potentially even for free, and just shoots Alessandra to the top of the list. Absolutely broken card!
