"Birdman" Pete

Pete goes nuts and replaced his dog for a creepy bird. Now he even dress like one as he solo perform with his guitar. He call himself... "Birdman".

This is a parallel Pete deck focused on testless ... almost everything. Created and tested for solo but can work as a flex too. Enyoy.

ENEMY MANAGMENT

You start with Toe to Toe and Dynamit blast for must kill enemies, your guitar will do heavy lifting though as you can just send baddies away. As soon as your trap is fully online, you can eventually exchange Toe to Toe for a Enchanted bow. You actually want some enemies (audience) to be around every turn as you earn money or heal horror from them. Cards in this deck can spawn enemies or benefit from killing them.

CLUE GATHERING

All clue tech you have is testless ... or almost testless (Old Keyring and Look what i found.) At start, deck contains 12 potentional clues from 10 cards. More then enough for solo. Later it can become 20 clues from 16 cards. This ensure that at any point, you have a card in hand that can get you a clue or two, altough some are conditional...

ECONOMY

Resource wise, your deck is cheap but some cards you would play more then once. Your trap for example cost one, but in one scenario you will play it many times over and over. This can pile up as we need to save money for a big boom when needed. Hornet Nest and On the Hunt will cover for us. I tried to add as many as possible card drawing tech, totally it is possible to draw 6 card at start and it will rise to 15 with upgrades. Enough to cycle through whole deck.

MYTHOS PROTECTION

One word. Sparrow. Mask. Sole purpose of this item is boost you in tests you cant avoid. And those tests are usually willpower and agility. As a bonus , it can boost your bow too when needed. Besides it has synergies with raven and guitar as well so it is fully charged most of the time.

WEAKNESS

One known weakness (besides hard times) are scenario specific intellect / strenght tests. As we are not gearing towards those tests at all and with little to none boosts in this department, it may be impossible to pass such an obstacles. Sometimes we just have to be lucky!

NOTE

I am still unsure if Pete reaction ability works with On the Hunt. If not (and thats how i tested it) its okay. If it works its bonkers for sure (who needs book of war). However, you need to save your reaction for your expiring trap, that is a priority for sure.
