A new niche to the Cat could be Butterfly Swords Lily Chen.

Why her?

The reason is rather simple: the Swords make pull 2 tokens per attack and therefore this is that many more chances to pull a Symbol token that often results in very sad outcomes especially in Hard/Expert.

The cat mitigates this risk.

To make the best out of it, attach 2 Trusted to the cat, if you're really pushy you can get The Star • XVII and let the cat do his job. Then with all these tokens, you will eventually find the that you probably wouldn't have used as most of the time your Disciplines are Unbroken.

Of course we're all thinking of Bob Jenkins using his additional action to play this during his turn, not taking an AoO, and getting that extra damage and boost. But if you're running Joey "The Rat" Vigil and Shrewd Dealings (and of course you are) , you can also play this for any investigator at your location, during their turn. The downside is that no one can sell the empty gun back to Joey, but this could save a character struggling with ammo, actions, or resources while engaged to an enemy.

Now that this card has been tabooed, it is worth another review.

Cycling your deck will not help you anymore to use this card multiple times per Scenario.

Is it still worth it then?

1xp for 3 cards that make you draw 3 other cards: they replace themselves. They also provide you with resources (1 per card), and an auto success. The success can be really helpful, especially in a class that often runs really low on .

Compared to Easy Mark, you get 3 fewer resources, you need to find the 3 of them to play them otherwise you're stuck, but it gives you an auto success.

The 2 questions to ask yourself are then:

• Do I draw enough to see the 3 copies during each scenario? If yes, then go to the next question, if not, then it is wasted XP and deck space.

• Do I have enough space in my Deck to play this? This is not really a good deck thinner as there are chances that you see the last copy quite far in your deck and therefore in the Scenario.

•• It also counter-synergises with Versatile that you may use to add Track Shoes as it makes just fewer chances overall to find the 3 copies consistently.

TL;DR: This is good for a 1xp set of cards: it fits in some decks (high draw + Deck space available), not a lot, and is welcome for tests but doesn't change the course of a scenario.

I think this is the discipline you take unless you have a key and critical use for one of the other three, even if you are mainly going to focus on weapons and fighting with lily I would still advise taking this discipline first for one reason that trumps the other three.

Alignment of spirit can be flipped back incredibly reliably, being basically immune to your personal weakness is a good move to have before you get your XP. (made even more reliable with deny existence and other damage cancellation cards)

The other two side benefits are pretty plain too, healing on any turn where you take damage/horror and +1 to the most commonly tested defensive stat are both good for surviving longer on average, a fighter who survives longer and has more health can keep the rest of the team alive long and earn those juicy juicy victory points more consistently, which gets you to a more flashy discipline.

Great evasion card for Daniela Reyes no matter what her or her target's agility is. Built in auto-fail protection as the evade is guaranteed on success or failure. The three icons mean there's a decent chance you won't need to take an attack from failing. Guaranteed to draw you a card.

It loses some flexibility because of the restrictions on when it can be committed, but gains some back since three icons might be what one of your friends needs to turn them into a one-time fighter/evader.

It's basically the Toe to Toe for evading that replaces itself.
