Flashpowder is for the Stress-focused Antiquarian, and allows her to push a target into Affliction or Heart attack without provoking a Riposte. Her former staple Invigorating Vapours is not as valuable here since her action is often better spent on attacking or healing. Take Cover can counter any attempts to shuffle her out of position or can be used in response to marks. Protect Me! is the Antiquarian's last resort if she finds herself being targeted, and can be used well with a Flagellant to direct hits towards him. Rejuvenating Vapours is not as strong as other healing abilities, but because it applies a Restoration buff instead of a direct heal, it can be used to keep heroes out of Death's Door when they're being targeted repeatedly. Expect to see nearly any Antiquarian spam this attack when they're not supporting the party. Party-wide Stress is invaluable, and it can be used to stack Blight. She can't help you find more rewards, but her combat capability has improved.įestering Vapours is the strongest attack for the Antiquarian. Since the Circus is pure combat, her functions have been changed drastically.

Meaning for instance, that the Man-at-Arms' and the Houndmaster's guards cannot be simultaneously applied to the Antiquarian's guard (buffs stack however). * Forcing a Guard on an Ally will cause them to forfeit any other guards they were previously doing.
