If you haven’t read my about my earlier themed teams over the years, just do an Elder Signs search with the text box upper right on this page. Then again, I once won that mission with Wendy Adams solo.
And I’m sure it’s going to make the Arctic a challenge in the Ithaqua mission I’m currently tackling.
That hurts in the desert of the Dark Pharoah mission. Both characters have low Stamina, which makes some encounters too deadly to choose. In some missions you maybe don’t want to rack up Elder Signs so quickly, preferring more time to gather equipment.ģ. (On the other hand, she regains it in the climactic R’lyeh battle, which means you can concentrate on adventures without Common and Unique items.)Ģ. Gloria’s ability is crippled at sea in the Cthulhu mission, since Other Worlds can’t appear there. Not knowing what youre walking into adds a lot of much needed difficulty and tension to the game. Instead of having adventure cards faceup, theyre facedown and it increases the difficulty of the game exponentially. It just feels its the way Elder Sign was meant to be played. The team is not without its weaknesses, however:ġ. Gates of Arkham set Elder Sign on the right path. Just save back a two- or three-sign Other World to finish when you’re one point away from winning. And it’s easy to score high by gaining Elder Signs beyond what you actually need. Luke’s ability to spend 4 trophies to open an Other World means that he keeps Gloria well supplied with Other Worlds to visit.Īgainst the first four Great Old Ones they’re a killer combination, with Gloria not only quickly racking up Elder Signs, but also scoring enough trophies to buy an extra one or two from the Souvenir Shop. That’s a huge benefit, especially given that most Other Worlds pay out one or two Elder Signs needed to win the game.Ī hidden benefit of visiting an Other World just before the clock strikes each turn is that when solved, it avoids any possibility of getting saddled with a new Midnight-penalty location before you can react.
Gloria’s ability gives her an automatic red die and yellow die whenever she’s in an Other World. Which probably explains my calling this themed pairing the “Dream” Team. Nearly five years later, I’m still playing this app, trying out new themed combinations of investigators.Ĭurrently I’m working a two-person team related by their “Other Worlds” abilities: Luke Robinson, Lucid Dreamer and Gloria Goldberg, Psychic Sensitivity.
