Cla’Lish is recruited to your Hard West 2 posse in the game’s first chapter. You’ll meet her in Zeke’s Trading Post, where she’ll ask for your help to rescue her tribe’s leader. She’ll become a stalwart companion from that point onward. Here’s our Hard West 2 Cla’Lish guide to help you with the best card skills and weapon loadout for her.

Hard West 2 Cla’Lish best card skills and weapon loadout guide

Main skill: Deceptive Spirit – Cla’Lish summons a spirit of a warrior. By default, it lasts for one turn and will distract your target. It’s essentially a way to prevent that target from attacking your teammates.

Weapon loadout: Rifles (main) – While other weapons are viable for Cla’Lish, she does have +1 damage with rifles already as a perk.

Below, you’ll see the card skills for Cla’Lish in Hard West 2. As usual, having a better poker hand equipped means unlocking all the lower-tier skills.

Card suit and character usage: To have the best card skills for Cla’Lish in Hard West 2, you’ll want to have a Two Pair for the Deceptive Spirit ability. Follow this up with its upgrades via a Full House and Royal Flush later in the game. In terms of card suits, Diamonds (luck/hit chance) and Spades (bullseye/crit chance) are decent since you’ll likely use Cla’Lish in medium to long-range engagements.

To be fair, though, her kit pales in comparison to your other party members. At best, the Deceptive Spirit is just there as a deterrent, as well as a means of crippling targets. Still, the upgraded version lasts for two turns, and a two-turn cooldown means it’s always available when you need it.

Hard West 2 is available via Steam.
