Stealthily Kitting

I definitely like stealth Kit, and I think Spooned is correct. But I don't think a single Parasite, especially with no Datasuckers is the correct call. That's two more influence you put towards something that might be more useful, like an HQ Interface or a random Legwork

The parasite is useful for removing the annoying Pop-up Window or Quandary that corporations put on the outside of their servers. Opens up a decent Spooned run then.

I would find a way to go up to at least 2 Refractor, if not 3 however. Helps with the early pressure as you are likely to have it in your opening hand.

Your life will be much easier if you give up on fitting Magnum Opus into a Stealth rig.

As it is your only econ is two copies of Kati Jones and a single copy of Magnum Opus. Unless you start with your one copy of Magnum Opus in hand, you're basically fucked. To top it off, you've got a bunch of 4-cost hardware that's going to clog your hand until you find one of your two copies of Personal Workshop.

I predict a lot of clicking for credits with a hand full of cards you can't install.

What would be a more optimal way to do econ? I'm new to stealth, and while getting stealth credits out is obviously great for runs, I'm not sure what else to consider. I was thinking of going 3x Magnum Opus, and cutting the Kati Jones, actually.

I'm biased, so I'd recommend you try out mine.

But Kati Jones and either Professional Contacts or Symmetrical Visage plus neutral resources are a common theme.

Cool, thanks, looks interesting, but I'm pretty sure I'd rather go with Spooned/ice destruction rather than the Wanton Destruction route. I tried Professional Contacts in previous version, which was nice for obvious reasons, but it was such a major tempo hit.

@scd some Armitage Codebusting would be fine you shouldn't need too much econ when the rigs up since stealth is super cheap.

That's why mine has the 2 Armitage Codebusting.

It really helps smooth out tempo hits from installing expensive things like Professional Contacts.

Here is how I would do Spooned in Kit, by the way.
