I took @King_Mob's Corroder deck and added in Scavenging and fudged some cards around. It plays basically the same, except now you can combo Burglary with Scavenging to recur your Flashlights, Knives, .41's, and your .45's. Which is very helpful in the Dunwich Campaign due to all of the milling that happens.
Some other notable differences between my deck and King Mob's are that I replaced Opportunist with Backstab because it's a useful combat trick even if you're not getting any stat-boosts from it, and I replaced Think on your Feet with Elusive because I like it more and it can help you search for Izzie a bit better.
In this update, I added an additional copy of Arcane Studies and Hard Knocks based on King Mob's suggestion, and a single copy of Lone Wolf. However, the most important changes with this update come with the upgrade path. No longer is this a Charisma deck, instead, it stays true to its roots as a talent-focused deck.
UPGRADES
-
FIRST PRIORITY - (10xp) These are the most important cards for this deck. In Standalone mode, you could drop the Adaptable and use these as your 9xp.
- 1x Streetwise III
- 1x Adaptable I
- 1x Hard Knocks > 1x Bullet Proof Vest III
- 1x Hard Knocks > 1x Elder Sign Amulet III
Use adaptable to replace Arcane Studies with Physical Training. After this first switch, you can use adaptable to prepare yourself for specific quests as you see fit.
-SECOND PRIORITY- (10xp) This next batch of upgrades is used to improve your stability, Switchblade II along with Sure Gamble III and Double or Nothings make for a very potent combat turns.
- 2x .41 Derringer > 2x Switchblade II
- 1x Knife > 1x Sure Gamble III
- 1x Burglary > 1x Sure Gamble III
Burglary doesn't stack, and it's not really worth its skill icons anymore. Your Switchblades which replace your knife and your.41's, so these can make room for your Sure Gambles.
If you're playing Dunwich Legacy I would consider taking 1x or 2x Charisma, depending on how many of the Doctors you've rescued. More on this later.
-THIRD PRIORITY- (8xp)
- 2x Emergency Cache > 2x Hot Streak IIII
More money is great, but it's the last thing you really need for this deck.
After this point, you can spend any additional XP and build into a Charisma deck, Leo Deluca + Cat Burglar + Dr. Milan, is a great little party of characters. Or if you're playing Dunwich, rescue Dr. Armitage and Dr. Francis. With Armitage, you could potentially skip buying Hot Streak and just rely on his ability for money. Armitage is especially good with Scavenging because you can pitch items when you draw them for the cash and bring them back later.
