Fieldwork has a few extra tricks it can pull in Ursula. Because it shares the same timing point as her own reaction ability ("after you move to a location") you can choose which order to trigger Fieldwork and her ability. High shroud location? Trigger Fieldwork first, get +2 to your investigate from your own ability. Somebody you want to parley at the location? Take your free investigate first for a bonus clue, and then trigger Fieldwork to use on the parley action. As long as the location you're going to has a clue, there's a lot you can do (also rhyming!).
Gene Beauregard with Jake Williams means Ursula can almost completely ignore enemies now. Ursula moves a space, Jake ignores an AoO, Gene moves the engaged enemy away, Ursula gets her free investigate action. Bonus points if you have fieldwork for a base 7 investigate.
Ursula is the seeker I have the most fun playing. She doesn't have much sick deck building jank but zipping around the map with pathfinder is such a good time. Can't wait to play with the new pocket telescope.
3:55 Unfortunately, Jake does NOT let you do what Travis said he could -- you can't move to an enemy and investigate without AoO because the "first move or investigate action" will be used up when you move, and Ursula's reaction provides an investigate action (which provokes), not merely an investigate. Personally I find the design on Jake's AoO ability baffling (when combined with the design on Ursula's reaction), almost as if it was intentionally designed to be unhelpful :/. E.g. they could've just made Ursula's ability let you basic investigate instead of giving an action, or they could've turned Jake's static into another reaction exhaust ability, or several other options. It's very strange.
As always, love you guys and all the effort you put into these! Would you be able to put Lily Chen higher up on the list please? There's so many different ways of progressing her build!
We will be doing new player guides for all the Edge of the Earth investigators, and then doing the expanded guides for them right after that. This means, while still at least 5 weeks away, they will be priority after the new player guides are done! :)
Question: If you can use cards like 'in the know' for Ursula's reaction ability, can you then also, when playing 'get over here' (with a guardian), use the 'fight' ability on a weapon asset for the attack of 'get over here'? and if not, why not? what is the difference?
Is there any reason you didn't include Shrewd Analysis in this? After pointing out that all versions of Dream Diary are great for Ursula, I really don't see a reason not to include Shrewd Analysis. Especially as it literally comes at no cost whatsoever.
As mentioned at the beginning of the video, these guides aren't intended to just be a list of cards a given investigator could play; I wanted to focus more on the aspects of the investigators that make them unique, which for Ursula are her reaction ability and her access to relics. In addition to not fitting into either of those categories, I felt there were enough other investigators that benefited more from Shrewd Analysis that it didn't need to be mentioned here.
I have one question about your playstyle because i don‘t know what to do in some situations. You say it would be better to have no fist and do not use this power? What do i do when i draw an enemy? What do i do when i draw another enemy. I can‘t escape every enemy because sometimes they will attack me. So i don‘t get it when you say don‘t use this power. Hope you can explain to a newbie player
Definitely acquaint yourself with both rulebooks. There's a lot to this game, and your question has timing issues. You evade an enemy to have it not hit you, it exhausts them. Since you've asked such beginner questions, and that's awesome, I'm giving you what another told me, to read. 🥰
I enjoyed looking back and finding out that sexy Mark Harrigan got the very first video. I think this is really one of those videos I'll want to reference as I try to build various investigators... although I did end up watching the whole Mark Harrigan video because you're such mark fanboys. My most anticipated are Jenny, Calvin, Marie, and Gloria.
Hey I like these videos but they are you just reading out what's on the screen. I would love to learn some tricks or tips for the deck or some nice card combos.
I have now grown a moustache in solidarity with Justin and Bryn. Travis take note, you are being left behind by us immensely trendy fashion-forward types.
I really like these videos, but if they're supposed to be more advanced guides for people with larger collections then I think you could skip reading the cards and focus more on talking about how the card in question works in the general strategy.
We've had people ask us to read the cards for our mid to new player videos (and this is in that space for us), so that's why we still read them. I do try and paraphrase the cards to be less reading the card verbatim, because I do agree that the videos are long enough as it is!

Oh very cool
These videos are incredible please don’t stop making them
Not only is Gene referenced im the flavour text of Fieldwork, she's on the art too!
This is very much appreciated. Please consider doing one for each investigator. I know it's a lot of work but it's so valuable. Keep up the good work!
We will be doing this for all investigators. It'll only be a matter of time! :)
@@PlayingBoardGames Awesome, thank you so much!

Thanks for doing these, you guys are great. For the first Rogue I'd love to see either Trish Scarborough or Tony Morgan!

One of my favorite investigators.
Thank you for tips for this investigator👍
Been planning to try solo play with Ursula
Trish and Monterey (and their cycles) both helped Ursula and Finn so much.

Jake Williams gains value a fair bit in innsmouth due to the large maps = more card draw.

Wow, that was the world's biggest soft sell on Key of Ys.

Brynn's mic was not good this video. Way too much underlying static noise when he was talking.

There's still beginners watching. Weren't you a beginner once!
