Leo Anderson Strategy Tips

Leo Anderson is a tough-as-nails leader who excels at survival. With his high willpower and combat, he is able to fight back against most of the encounter deck’s hazards. Leo favors an asset-heavy approach: Take some time to set up your play area, and you’ll be prepared for anything.

Leo’s ability allows him to play Ally assets without spending valuable actions, and at a reduced cost. Try to mulligan for an _Allyin your opening hand, and use Trusted to keep them in play for longer. While this starter deck only contains a handful of Allyassets, you can use experience points to acquire new Allyassets, such as Treasure Hunter and Cat Burglar. The more Ally_assets you can get in play, the more Leo will be capable of at any given moment.

That said, don’t be afraid to treat your _Allyassets as expendable. Taking damage or horror on an Allyasset is almost always favorable to taking it yourself, especially when you have a Decorated Skull in play, which gains charges whenever one of your Ally_assets is defeated.

This deck has a lot of weapons which you can use to deal with enemies, and Flashlights for investigating. Your Venturer can be essential for giving your Flashlights and Firearms extra uses. Don’t have a weapon or a Flashlight yet? Search through your Backpack — you’re liable to find one!

Leo’s greatest weakness is his low agility. He can be easily caught off-guard by a tough enemy or a treachery requiring an agility test. Be wary!
