What’s the best ability cards for fist fighting players?

[abstract rivet]

I'd say necessity breeds strange medicine and depending on if you only first fight people who melee go with peak condition if your fighting people with guns then to fight another day. if your using throwing tools then slippery bastard is a good deadeye perk

peak condition/short game/iron lung or fool me once. melee is kinda janky, with the first 2 cards i mentioned and landons patience you can nearly kill someone with a melee weapon in one hit. its only that initial hit that does massive damage it would be the same for fists you wouldnt do so much damage without a weapon but youd do like 1/3 of his hp in that first strike. thats why you can use short game in fist fighting the distance from the person determines the damage increase. but landons needs 15 seconds in between hits to trigger correctly thats why that first strike does so much, maybe better to take a defensive card in place of it. the other secret is using rank 3 tonics

Does fool me once actually work with fist fighting?
