I have now run through a campaign with this weakness and I can safely say that this is a new contender for the absolute worst weakness in the game (up against Agnes Baker of course). Flavorfully, it is a very good card, but shuffling each Firearm asset into your deck is absolutely devastating, even if you only have one or two in play (which you realistically always want to have at least 2). It is bad enough that I recommend taking Friends in Low Places just so that you can search out this weakness and draw it when you have a cheap gun, rather than later.

I've got a question: could Luke Robinson (+ adaptable) use this from his Dream Gate, discard the enemy and yet draw cards? Or will it fails as "Kicking the Hornet's Nest" does because of its "then"?                                                     

Overall Katarina is probably a guaranteed include in any Curse or Blurse decks I'd make

I didn't quite manage to get a completely satisfying setup however if you seal most symbol tokens (probably don't seal the Elder Sign but it is an option) but the Skull you could use Katarina to reliably trigger Speak to the Dead which in turn can be used to bring back Call the Beyond which helps keeping Dayana or Seal of the Seventh Sign charged for example. Other good candidates are Blur and Close the Circle but Akachi has Spirit-Speaker so she could already charge them quite easily

The problem is there's no permanently reliable way to bring back SttD but you could at least do so twice with Uncage the Soul. Spamming CtB a lot would also add a lot of curses. I don't think Katarina and Favor of the Moon in this setup have a great synergy but it's still good enough to deserve an honorable mention. It helps keeping the curses in check, actually pays you and lets you gamble for your Elder Sign when you don't want to use SttD.

One option would be to use Dexter Drake and use Katarina to trigger his Elder Sign more often and bring back SttD that way but unlike Akachi Onyele, Dexter doesn't have access to Dial of Ancients it could however be traded with Teamwork. Dayana -> Recharge -> Use Call the Beyond on Dayana or the Dial could keep quite a big amount of the chaos bag sealed with just one trinket. Akachi's increased charge limit also generally makes her a better candidate for CtB

Also SttD can be used together with Sign Magick and Astral Mirror to reduce the action cost while not taking up as many slots.

Lastly you can use Katarina to try to bait out the Auto-fail on turns that are less dangerous to seal it on Dial of Ancients. Dayana but you'll still fail your check so that's only marginally useful.

"Q: Arkham LCG Library Pass (Level 5) Is it the intention to compulsorily require paying 1 resource if there is no Tome attached? A: Yes; if no Tome asset is attached to Library Pass (5) when its Forced ability triggers, you must still pay 1 resource. (Ruling, March 2025)"

This is a TERRIBLE ruling, even if consistent with the text.

That's not worth 5 XP. That's not worth 1 XP! That's practically a Weakness.

What a loaded card!

One of the main issue the basic version of "Watch this!" had was that it was only worth using on skill checks you were likely to pass, which for most Rogues would be only Agility, as it is their usual best stat, while their second best, Intellect, cannot benefit from the basic skill card in normal circumstances, lacking the matching icon.

Enter the level 3 version of the card , which simply converts all of the skill icons into wilds, that can be commited to any skill check!

That makes the card ludicrously easy to use, and makes it easier to fulfill the clause to get cash from it, as you can commit it to whatever trivial skill check you run accross

But what is great about this is that it turns "Watch This!" from exclusively a utility/economy card to a mix between utility, economy AND defense, as the three wilds are immensely more helpful to deal with treacheries than the lone Will pip of the basic version.

This gives the card amazing versatility: if you don't care about money, you can just use this to save your butt against a bad treachery that would punish you badly for failing its test!

Some people compare it as being an overpriced upgrade to Unexpected Courage, and I couldn't disagree more: the combination of both its resource genration and skill bonus, makes this much, much more versatile than UC, and far easier to slot in and use in many situations. You sometimes have to choose between skill cards that either give you strong effects (like Vicious Blow) and cards that provide high skill bonus for a number of situations (like Survey the Area) but "Watch this!" does BOTH at once, which is far more value than what most skills have to offer, and its versatility makes it that much easier to cut down the need to run similiar cards to fulfill different functions. It makes your deck more compact by combining multiple uses of different skills into one card and give you the option to replace overlapping skills with something different.

That is without considering the great synergy it has with other Rogue cards, and the "overachiever" archetype: it can help you reach a high result to trivialise your next test with Momentum, give you 3 wilds you can look for with either Daredevil (a card which really likes finding wilds that are eligible to any test) and make it more likely for you to get max draw with All In

I don't think this is a luxury upgrade at all: I think this is definetly worth considering for any Rogue that has access to it and is running the basic version or Unexpected Courage, or is making heavy usage of Rogue skills. It's just a brilliant card that is ludicrously easy to use and slot in any deck, which is what all skills should aspire to be.
