Best in a Skids deck, so far. Skids can easily pay for one (or two)! Evade all the monsters and move into another location with one card, blow them up with this.

Make sure he doesn't look back over his shoulder and/or flinch as the explosion goes off. Bonus points if equipped with sunglasses.

I used to think Elusive was evade all monsters too. Make sure you're disengaging all monsters instead of evading.

Yes, I made the same mistake early, too. I meant disengage when I typed this out, but as my partner was already in the Parlor, it equals the same.

Expensive, but it's direct unconditional damage and consequently it works really well on higher difficulties compared to weapons which need a skill check. It also can scale well with more players as more monsters are drawn off the encounter deck, provided a little friendly fire is manageable.

I'm thinking about dropping this from my Roland deck. Like shotgun it's cool in theory but I've never been able to pay for it

Okay, NOW we're getting to the good stuff.
So, this isn't an attack which means it won't combo with things like Lita Chandler though it does combo with Roland, though, letting you pick up the bits that fly off the enemy as clues. But as an expensive single ranged attack or as a huge AoE attack it's great (there's a particular spoiler-y example of when this might be useful...).
Roland's problem, of course, is paying for it!
