hello,

The spoiler article for the next box is up, what are people thinking of Lola?

Being able to have up to level 3 in all disciplines is great long term. The question is whether to have her "specialise" in a couple of areas (if only 1 then just use an investigator better suited to it surely!) or to be a true jack of all trades. I think that there is a problem with going for too many different spheres though, better imo to go for 3 at most.

Realistically you need at least 5 in a skill (after positive modifiers) to be considered reliably good at it - maybe an Encyclopedia would be a good first pick for experience? Cat Burglar, Sure Gamble, Pathfinder - all yellow and green cards - combine with red to get a decent investigator who can get out of trouble well with access to some decent weapons?
I thought of Necrons as well, and I agree on the cards thing - or would if it weren't for that fact cards used for skill checks are included. That said, unlike Necrons you can change sphere once per turn at any time - so you can start as 1 and play some cards, then change to another and play more. Not as restrictive there for sure.

For that reason, I'd think 2 spheres rather than 3 isn't that great as other investigators can do that almost as well, and arguably better (well, up to level 2 and 5 in general, so if there is a great synergy between level 3 cards then she gains from that).

Please help.
Thanks!


I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
