Roland is still the best guardian solo, he has seeker access that let's him cheat clues on tough locations, like Art Student, Working a Hunch + his ability provides actually good action compression. If you play his alternative signature cards, he gets even better, because the weakness is no that bad and signature event let's him create clues out of thin air. I reached the final scenario in every campaign with Roland where I chose him and could beat OG Dunwich with best result with him. Whereas Mark has to work harder for clues, with 2 itellect you have to pretty much every time commit something while investigating or use your health resource. There is not much action compression here, which is essential for solo. In my expreience, I tried him 3 times in solo and every time he either died or I stopped the campaign around scenario 4, because he just could not get enough xp or got way too many traumas.

It's interesting that you guys picked Luke for purple. I get that he has a yellow cardpool, but his stats are meh and I've found his event ability is cute, but typically not relevant most of the time. The Gate Box is incredible, but seems less viable with solo when you don't have someone else to explore the board. Additionally, a lot of purple and yellow cards require buckets of money. My pick for Mystic would be Agnes. 5 willpower, solid passive abilities and red cards to protect her and shore up clue getting. Either regular or parallel (with the regular deck-building restrictions), they're both incredibly powerful. Followed closely by Gloria, who can just largely ignore what the game wants to do and has 5 willpower and 4 book to boot. Love these list videos, keep it up guys!

Luke is an absolute monster in solo, Eldritch Sophist made Luke almost unbeatable there are a few things tips 1) First round 1, explore! - you need to reveal 2-3 locations so you always have a safe exit location room for you Dream-Gate in case of a monster you are not ready for. Luke can always setup his rig late from the safty of his world. 2) After all hunters has moved you can jump into your Dream-Gate before they attack avoiding all enemy attacks. 3) Explore everything, do not spend time discovering clues unless you have no choice or already are in your Dream-Gate and then you can pick up all clues from the safty of your Dream-Gate using events at a connecting revealed locations.

Yeah, the Gate Box is... insanely strong as an enemy management tool. If you draw an enemy that would normally spawn engaged with you while in the gate box, it just gets discarded. Seeker economy can rival rogue (Cough, taboo Crack the Case, cough). Luke is one of the most abusable investigators in the game and if you lean into that, you are an insanely broken boy. That being said, having recently started trying Gloria solo... whooo boy. Same Seeker access to economy, with an ability that neuters the encounter deck. She's insane as well.

I agree with most of these. Rogue: I'm (slightly) more inclined to go with Finn over Trish. A close 3rd place is Skids O'Toole. Skids can just go super fast and blitz through a scenario; the faster he gets through it all, the fewer Encounter cards he draws. He needs a bit more clue-gathering cards than the other two Rogues (Lockpicks, Flashlights, et al), but his ability to buy a 4th action is nothing to sleep on. Survivor: Silas Marsh is awesome. I'd actually place him slightly above Ashcan Pete. He's naturally built to deal with enemies in whatever way you want. He can focus the majority of his deck on dealing with his low sanity and grabbing clues. His ability to reel back skill cards is nothing to sneeze at when you're playing a tight solo game and you can't afford to pitch cards to tests where the Autofail shows up. Finally, his Elder Sign ability is incredible. Even ignoring the broken combos that come with Eucatastrophe, pulling back a Quick Thinking to take another potential two actions, or a True Understanding to grab a free clue is just an incredible feeling. Neutral: Lola's also the worst Neutral investigator in the game. Don't forget about that.

Ursula getting a free investigate when first moving to a new location (and in solo alot of locations will have one clue) seems very strong - especially when combined with the Seeker cards that either give free moves (so 2 free actions in a turn) or get a second clue on a successful investigate (again 2 free actions a turn) - free actions a turn are possible with the right cards from Seeker, which is 2 players worth of actions in a solo game - and those free actions are all moves or investigates - the 2 most common/important actions needed to win games. Downside is if you ever need to fight anything to win a scenario - her evade is good but sometimes that just isn't enough.

Great list and it’s amazing how strong survivors are. Your fourth best mystic (Akachi? Mateo?) or guardian (Tommy? Leo?) or even rogue (Sef? Jenny?) would be behind Stella, Duke, Wendy, Silas, maybe Yorick, probably Patrice, basically all save Calvin. And survivor access makes a lot of other classes near top - Agnes, Preston, Minh all rely on red cards. Yes to a Wendy solo, it’s fast and the Finn run was very cool! It’s basically a different game, so fun to see sometimes.

I must be playing him wrong but I just tried Luke solo and he was awful. My first run I drew grasping hands twice in a row and pulled the -4 token both times. Instant death. Also attack spells are really weak before he levels up because he only has 4 brain. Most tough enemies take minimum attack of 4 so if you aren’t boosting you will fail. Then you’ll run out of charges and be unable to kill enemies either. What am I missing?

I think I agree with this list. I can't weigh in on the Finn/Trish debate as I haven't played Trish yet but can see the argument for both. Wendy vs Ashcan depends on your experience with the game I think. Wendy definitely has the much higher potential, but if you're newer to solo play you're likely to find Ashcan Pete easier to build for and run initially. Mandy is arguably still the strongest all-round Seeker, but if you use Taboo the recent Mr. Rook adjustment makes it harder for her to get off the ground in solo as you need some XP before you can really get going. Again I think she probably has the most potential in yellow still, but you may as a newer solo player find Ursula easier to grok.

You're wrong about Luke. You forget that he exits Dream Gate onto a revealed location meaning, which becomes a chicken or the egg situation. Did you walk around every location to reveal them before you actually start to do stuff? If you need to be at an unrevealed location this round as you suggest, in what situation does the Dream Gate save you moves? Jacqueline is easily my pick for best solo Mystic

Ursula was hurt less than Mandy with the most recent taboos. As the card pool increases, her relic access becomes better and better. I think Finn>Trish, largely because the innate free evade every turn is less dependent upon specific cards to let Trish get a clue and evade without taking an AoO. Outside of things like Working a Hunch, there are surprisingly few fast ways to consistently pick up clues. A solo Wendy run would be great. Would the Home Alone version work for solo?

Do the things faster than the deck can hurt you and your low will doesn't matter as much. Also they both have ways to make the odd willpower test the bad stuff deck throws out at you.
