Broiled, Charred or Seared

A Zoey deck made for multiplayer that focuses on killing and killing only. This build has no clueing capabilities so it's best to pair this with a seeker. The main weapon is going to be Flamethrower that deals up to 4 damage to one or more enemies. Under favorable circumstances, this build can attack 5 times in one turn, each attack dealing 5 damage, not to mention additional damage from your passive ability, Beat Cop and Vicious Blow.

Start of the game/Mulligans

Your aim is to find your Flamethrower as fast as possible. To do this, attach Prepared for the Worst, Extra Ammunition and Custom Ammunition to your Stick to the Plan. Prepared for the Worst will hopefully allow you to find your Flamethrower while the other two keep Flamethrower from running out of juice before the big baddies show up. Try to mulligan for Zoey's Cross, Physical Training and/or Relentless.

Flamethrower

As stated above, Flamethrower is going to be your main weapon with this build. Although it only has 4 ammo at base, you have multiple cards that will increase the ammo available including Contraband, Custom Ammunition (which also makes you deal +1 damage to monsters), Extra Ammunition and Venturer. With Ace of Swords, Flamethrower's intrinsic bonus and possibly Beat Cop and/or Vicious Blow, you can nearly guarantee that your Flamethrower attacks will hit. To try to ensure we get Flamethrower early, we take Stick to the Plan which allows us to have Prepared for the Worst at the start of the game to search our hand for Flamethrower.

THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE

The maximum damage this build can do in one turn is 29. Leo De Luca gives you an extra action on his own while Galvanize gives you another for 5 possible fight actions in total. With Custom Ammunition, each Flamethrower hit will deal +1 damage for 5 damage to one or more enemies. That's 25 damage, enough to oneshot some bosses in a single round. Add in the damage from Beat Cop, your Zoey's Cross and Vicious Blow and you've got yourself 29 damage in a single round.

Sometimes, however, you will find yourself dealing too much damage - namely, having to kill a 2-health enemy with 5 damage. This is where Relentless comes into play - since Flamethrower deals massive overkill damage to low-health enemies, this card allows you to take that excess damage and convert it into useful resources.

Dimming the flames

In terms of survival, this build is slightly weak - Zoey Samaras' base is quite low which means you should just try to murder whatever is in your way instead of trying to evade. Dodge can be used to mitigate attacks from encounter card draws or to save teammates from attacks. Zoey has a high of 4 which will allow her to pass most treachery checks.
