Which values do you like for aggressive shooting? Does it change greatly from Outfit to Outfit?
I’ve found the most success with 3/7/8 regardless of who I’m playing. Shotgun & Sun in 3s, Kidnappin’ in 7, and Steven Wiles in 8 (shout out to Bounty Hunter for Law Dogs). I like the deeds these values give as well, especially 3 and 8. Are there better values for shooting decks as the game is right now? How does your outfit change the decision?
It kinda depends on if you’re using skills or not. A Hex Build for example would prolly be 7-J-Q, to get access to kidnap, Hex Slingin and Blood Curses.
2s work for Law Dogs, with Peacemakers, Blueticks and Make the Smart Choice. Judge Harry can start shootouts with his job ability.
5s and to a lesser extent 4s also have some good stuff, especially for Sloaners
Though you could change 7s in 4R to K for raising hell to gain some extended durability with the Brute and other abominations. Grind out your opponent.
I find 2’s-5’s have the best choices for shootout actions, but obviously you can’t use them in skill decks. I think I have several Sloane Decks that are 2, 3, 5, or 7.
My most aggressive 4R deck runs 4’s, 6’s and Kings. Focuses on Raising Hell, Election Day Slaughter and Smiling Tom so no spells fail (Summoning, Puppet (I guess this can fail) and Raising Hell).
for a heavy shootout based deck, 5’s win the deeds category hands down.
3 SIYE + shotgun
7 Kidnapping
10 Unprepared
Are definitely contenders
