So, this plan goes all in on the intrigue. Now, the hero assignments might seem a bit weird, but here was my thought process.
Firstly, although Malifishmertz's actual intrigue bonus isn't all that high, the idea of creating a network of spies in Doofania is literally exactly what his Shepard Spies about, and he's out of crit fail range. Thus, by putting him on that, I suspect we'll get the most pay off.
Second, Kitsune has the trait Now You See Me, which lets her add half her Occult when doing actions that impair another faction or other hero units. Normally, we don't get to apply it, but hunting down moles is perfect for that, and with it, we're rolling a 31+21+11+2, or +65 (-10 from Executive Action making it 55, back to 65 with XP, but also we have to consider Mirage's trait which effectively is a +10). Also, Kitsune rooting out moles just sounds like fun. (And hopefully, it will keep Goblin Fox inactive and allow us to assign her on a non-harmful action next turn).
Third, yes the Dickens cost money, but this is quite literally the least we'd have to pay, and with XP, I'm sure they'll succeed. Even the most novice of them won't have less than 20 intrigue, I suspect, and with XP, that gets us over the DC for sure. But we need to do it sooner rather than later because the DC will probably go up, and the efficiency will likely go down, under Doof.
Fourth, I've deliberately skipped out on one Diplomacy action, because I didn't want to take Janus off his project. If someone has an idea around that, I'm happy to change my plan. The other thought I had was putting Ludivine on studying Doof, dropping a learning action, and putting Wendy on a Diplo action. But other than that, I'm not too sure how I could get a good Diplo hero or learning hero to fill in that gap.
P.S. Credit to Nystical for the basic structure of this plan.
