This story mode mission pops up quite a lot in the forums and I don't think anyone has written a definitive guide yet. Hopefully this will be of use to new players.
There are many ways to complete this mission in theory, in practice it's a different story, I'll try to sum up the best options for each faction, being as concise as possible. This mission is heavily dependant on your card pool too, while there are many cards that make this mission go more smoothly/quickly the majority of them are rare.
The basic goal is to boost agents or sites up from 0 power/influence or win with a combo. so obviously any card that boosts power/influence or scores is what your looking for. There's lots of interactions between the different colours that I don't mention too.
Order - I think the strongest faction for this mission. If your a new player and your card pool is quite limited , Order is the best choice. It has more cards to utilise and most of them are Templar.
Top Choices
- Borgia Tower
- Beautiful Heiress
- Just Cause
- RI
- Templar Sanctum
- Knight Templar
- Edigio Troch
An Example Strategy
If you have Borgia Tower, get this down and just keep campaigning, it's as simple as that. Carlo is a common and very useful card here, you just need to boost his power and he can score Beautiful Heiress is common and useful for this purpose.
Faith - Faith has the next biggest card pool for this mission, they are more site based cards so bear that in mind. Papal Influence is a given. If you have the card pool, theres always good old deck destruction and Novella Cat and Crypt Della.
Top Choices
- Seeking Sanctuary (Templar Common!)
- Judgement Day
- Pontifical High Mass
- Papal Influence
Example Strategy
Get sites down, boost them with Seeking sanctuary (+2 influence) throw in a few Palpal influence and if possible fortify this with any rares you have.
Crime - Always my favourite choice for this mission. The pre-nerf Lanz was the easy choice.
He is still useful in this mission if you can make him score but now La Volpe is your main man. Let's not forget Femme Fatale it's almost perfect for this mission.
Top Choices
- La Volpe
- Lanz
- Femme Fatale
- Theives Guild
- Secret Catacombs
Example Strategy
- An agent rush should do it, utilise threat in the early stages then wait for your La Volpe to come and your away.
Media - There is great versatility for Media , i think if you have the cards it should be an instant choice. Art Gallery is great, just campaign and you score.
Where faith does influence boosting, media does it for power, motivational speech can accelerate an agent rush. Let's not forget copying , Clothes make the man and Palpal Influence is a simple but effective combination.
Top Choices
- Art Gallery
- Magnetic Personality
- Motivational Speech
- Caha
- Man of the People
- Silvestro Sabbatini
Example Strategy
Militants , with Art Gallery, fortify it with motivational speech, Caha, etc.
Golden - A few cards in golden that are useful but specific. Juno and Forgotton temple require a deck to be built around them. Merchants guild is a great option for this mission if you have it. Tactical upheaval and safe is a great way to beat the 0 power but quite hard to pull off consistently.
If you have any Jacop de pazzi then I guess there would be no harm adding them if you have the space.
Scholar - Last and least , Scholar, while theres only one card directly capable of winning this challenge , Leonardo's Workshop. Scholars uses goes without saying. If you have a strong Scholar Cardpool , use it to support your strategy.
So obviously this is not exhaustive but I'm just trying to keep it simple and short, there's many more options out there! Hope this helps.
