Wendy Cluever

Wendy Cluever

This deck needs to be paired with a strong fighter, because Wendy doesn't even pretend like she can fight in this one!

Thick Trauma

With In the Thick of It I like to give her two mental trauma, despite Abandoned and Alone because Peter Sylvestre - and later Peter Sylvestre (2) - can soak horror for her.

Upgrade Plan

First 2 XP: Search
A priority Upgrade for me is helping Wendy find her Lockpicks easier!

• Backpack >> Backpack (2). Backpack is why I'm running E-Cache over Faustian Bargain. Emergency Cache is a Supply, so backpack can find it too!

Next 3 XP: Skill Upgrades

• Both Perception >> Sharp Vision. This only gets her to 6 , but you can still commit cards like Resourceful, Quick Thinking, or Unrelenting...
• Unexpected Courage >> Unrelenting. I like Unrelenting with a Flashlight Investigate of a 2 Shroud location so it doesn't matter what I seal with it because the only thing that will fail is an !

Then 3 more XP: Accessory Slot

• Adding Relic Hunter lets you use Wendy's Amulet and Lucky Cigarette Case at the same time.

Next 4XP: Pete!

• Both Peter Sylvestre >> Peter Sylvestre (2)

Final 2 XP:

• Both A Test of Will >> A Test of Will (1). I upgrade this last because you can still pass a 3 test with some commits and luck, and this only gets you to 14 XP, so you should have plenty of XP going forward to re-purchase them from exile.

Bonus XP

Survivors always have extra XP laying around, so here's a way to spend some more:

• Both Lucky! >> Lucky! (3). This reduces the cost to zero and gives you a little extra breathing room on any test, plus it replaces itself with card draw.
• Both Emergency Cache >>Emergency Cache (2). This nets you the same resources, but it replaces itself with card draw. BUT if you find that you've been getting plenty of resources during your games, do this instead:
  • 1 Emergency Cache >> Emergency Cache (2)
  • The other E-Cache >> True Survivor. At this point all of your skills are Innate except for Unrelenting. If you have Wendy's Amulet in play True Survivor will go to the bottom of your deck (so you can't recur it with Resourceful), but getting two Sharp Vision and a Resourceful back is still a good pull!

Mulligans

This Wendy is a Cluever, and it SUCKS not having your Lockpicks, so mulligan HARD for them, but keep a Backpack just in case.
