Amazing effective deck I used in my latest Scarlet Keys playthrough!

===

SUMMARY

This deck focuses on boosting Rita's , then using Hyperphysical Shotcaster to find clues from any location. This makes Rita well rounded at both dealing with enemies and collecting clues.

You'll use Scavenging & Ice Pick in conjunction with the Hyperphysical Shotcaster to find more clues.

You can even Sleight of Hand a Hyperphysical Shotcaster for extra uses!

In early games, you'll have Refine to help get Hyperphysical Shotcaster its Railshooter & Realitycollapser forms.

  • Note: you can't have more than 6 checkboxes or tabooed Sleight of Hand won't work.
  • Note: Refine is a Supply & can be attached to Backpack

Fun use of Hyperphysical Shotcaster with Rita! I need to read my cards better, I never knew Hyperphysical Shotcaster could fetch clues from ANYWHERE, I thought it just substituted the skill uses.

FFG keeps disappointing me. They keep adding cool Trick support like Chuck Fergus, but nothing Rita can add to her deck.

I am planning to play a Rita deck too! I wonder if “I’ll take that!” Would be a better deckbuilding option? You don’t take dirty fighting, so I think you are focusing on the cluever side. Btw it works when evading hood too.

@lovertai I think "I'll take that!" & Dirty Fighting are both great options.

  • "I'll take that!": Is essentially a action to play assets, which was a definite pain point in this build. Fun fact, It was in my initial build until we had a player choose Carson Sinclair. I do think this would optimize the build, currently the 1x Scout Ahead is my flex card, and I think I should replace that card (& 1 other card) to make room for 2x "I'll take that!". Thank you for reminding me!
  • Dirty Fighting: I personally haven't had a great experience with this card in other builds, so I excluded it. This build does do a lot of cluing, but If you need to be take a more fighting oriented role, I could definitely see this as a good addition. However, I will note that with Hyperphysical Shotcaster (Railshooter form) + Scavenging & Cheap Shot, I've found that was never short on dealing damage.

I'll probably release an updated build with comprehensive guide once I run through another campaign with her. This has quickly become one of my favorite builds from an severely underplayed investigator.
