If Lola (or anyone in her party) draws Stubborn Detective as a weakness, she needs to get upgraded Rod ASAP and cast this on him. Of all the cards that can disable Detective's attacks so she can safely blank her restriction, this is the best:

• Handcuffs requires passing a test, plus an extra action for the base version.
• Existential Riddle needs a big hand or lots of money, plus Aloof isn't good as you will lose the Detective when you move. If you engage him, he will still attack you.
• Fend Off isn't a bad option though he attacks you first. Also if another gator drew the Detective as a weakness, either that gator needs to be able to take this card or Lola needs to be with that gator at all times until the Detective is drawn.

With Abyssal Rot and upgraded Rod of Carnamagos:

• As long as you can draw a , you can disable the Detective without needing to pass a test. Even if you don't, you can try again next turn. Or just use Favor of the Moon.
• so no Attack of Opportunity.
• If another gator drew the Detective as a weakness, you don't need to be at their location for this to work.
• "Cannot attack" is better than "Cannot ready" because game effects may mean the Detective can still attack you with the latter.
• The Rod's other Rot effects can still be used on other enemies so you're not getting it just for the Detective.

Who knew that a Rotten Detective would be the key to unlocking Lola's final form?

Something I missed on my first impression that makes this much more palatable upgrade is that the blade doesn't need to be ready to fight, which was a major pain point with the lvl 0 version. You no longer need to assess whether or not to add the blesses in case you miss or the target will die, just exhaust it at first opportunity and generate value.

Downgrade.

Honestly, don't take it. Apart from the inconsistent wording (no "after" or "when"), in my experience it is actually rare that an investigator moves more than once during their turn. Even if so, if this card is actually important to you you will pack two copies anyway.

The real downside, though, comes from the restriction: "During another investigator's turn"

This is HUGE, because combos with the following no longer work (a buddy using the card's effects you provided):

• Shortcut
• Carson Sinclair's ability
• Archive of Conduits
• Task Force
• Survival Instinct outside of their turn
• Prophesiae Profana
• The Stars Are Right using the action for movement in the mythos phase

Hate it.

Does this card stack if you end a scenario with two Pelt Shipments in hand? e.g. You get +1 experience towards TWO new cards whose names are different?

In this episode of "the writer's thinly disguised fetish":
Take your pick of Asian women! Submissive secretary or Kung-Fu Chick in an Armpit Cheongsam! Haha, I'm drunk but this is funny. How'd it get past editing or whatever anyway? All the other ethnic groups get some level of antistereotypical diversity, not too much 'fitting into the setting', but both sides of the collective American megaphone enthusiast community insultingly agree that fitting in lovecraftian works isn't for minorities. Shame.
What an insultingly comically tokenistic card.
