Skillful Winnie

This is my Skill-Focused Winifred deck that we are taking through The Circle Undone. She is paired with a clue-focused Stella and Flamethrower Sister Mary.

Winnie is just insane. My deck is more than half skills and was built as more of a jack-of-all-trades. The one complaint I have (which is being corrected with upgrades) is that she has too many Agility skills, so she's been mostly just running around with the other two selectively evading enemies to make it easier for Mary to come in and take care of or let Stella get places without risk. She's incredibly weak to performing only as well as the cards in her hand, but with upgraded Lucky Cigarette Case, the cantrips and her ability she's digging through her deck. It's not uncommon for her to be 9-10 skill points over the target so any token that isn't the auto-fail largely isn't a threat. Some of my favorite cards have been Nimble, Three Aces, and Opportunist. I will say that she tends to lose a lot of momentum when she pulls that auto-fail, I am considering Lucky Dice/Relic Hunter but that's a lot of XP to invest and she can usually recover in a turn or two.

So far, my biggest concerns are collecting clues and dealing with Willpower tests. The most recent upgrades with Versatile should help offset both issues as well as reduce the Horror she takes from cycling the deck as well as help to see Dendromorphosis a little less frequently.

Some key strategies I've used to mixed success: committing Daredevil to a test has a chance of killing her weaknesses (it hasn't hit yet because she has so many elligible skills, but there's a chance), three Aces is too good with Winnie for 1 XP, and the action economy with Quick Thinking, Nimble and Leo has been great.

Lone Wolf is probably a poor include given that she has plenty of money from Watch This and I may replace it with a Sawed-Off Shotgun and Sharpshooter in the near future.
