Primary Role: Bodyguard the Clue Finder

This build is quite simple, follow the clue finder around and give them more actions to find clues while you zap enemies with Lightning Gun.

When your not turning enemies into piles of dust, you'll be:

Because Sinclair can use his actions to give other investigators extra actions, this deck IS better with larger player counts. Ideally, four.

MONSTER FIGHTING

You are a dedicated fighter. You'll be using your Lightning Gun almost exclusively.

The main weakness to Lightning Gun is its poor ammo economy. However, you can get an additional 30 shots with:

Finding the Lightning Gun can be tricky even with 2 copies. You should always hard mulligan for it. Keep only Prepared for the Worst and Backpack •• as backups.

CLUE FINDING

You will not be finding clues except the ones you pick-up with Task Force.

I would probably rate this deck a 1/5 (even 0/5) if it wasn't for your extra actions. You should be following a clue finder around and giving them an extra action to find more clues (which is kinda like you finding clues, if you think about it).

SUPPORT

Carson Sinclair is hands down the best support investigator in the game:

Safeguard •• and Open Gate really help with keeping the team close by so you can give more investigators more actions (when there is nothing to fight).

SURVIVAL

Carson has modest health and sanity values. After finding your copy of First Aid ••, you'll be patching up yourself and your teammates in your downtime. Cleaning Kit, Venturer, and Emergency Cache ••• keep it stocked with supplies. Venturer also offers a decent amount of soak as well.

With extremely low stats, the Mythos phase and its treacheries causes Carson a lot of trouble. You'll be fine, if you can heal your way out of it.

PERFECTED

Everyone has their pet investigators, ones they are just drawn to. Carson Sinclair is one of mine (along with Preston Fairmont, Norman Withers, and Father Mateo, and Jim Culver).

I've played many many Carson Sinclair builds. This Lightning gun build may seem simple, but it's also by far the best.

Other Sinclair builds:

Lightning Gun's +5 stat boost paired with being a REPEATABLE attack is why it's superior to the other builds. This gives Carson a definite role, something he was missing in the other builds. There are now tons of ways to give Lightning Gun ammo & find it faster which are the two main weaknesses of that card. Additionally the supply/ammo cards Cleaning Kit, Venturer, First Aid, and Emergency Cache also help your team. This makes him a great fighter AND support.
