First round Kwisatz Haderach

A guide on how to acquire the best card in the game on your first reveal.

Why? - For he is the Kwisatz Haderach!

The Kwisatz Haderach is unquestionably the most versatile card in the Dune: Imperium base game, but it is most useful when acquired early. If you already have a fully developed deck and are heading towards the endgame, it may be more advantageous to take the Spice Must Flow and the corresponding Victory Points instead.

Well how early is early enough, because you can actually buy him in the first round! You just have to be really lucky ;)

The Sleeper Must Awaken

There is one method that works regardless of which Leader you pick, for you to buy Kwisatz round one. For this to happen some requirements must be met.

Any Leader Method
For the first method, your required starting hand must contain a Seek Allies and NO Dagger.
Step one is to go to Still Suits and grab a Water using your Seek Allies.
In your second round you want to go to Research Station and PRAY you don't draw a Dagger.
Now, assuming you didn't draw a Dagger, you should have 8 Persuasion.
Done!
You're all set to pick up the Kwisatz Haderach on your Reveal turn!

Leader Specific Methods

Helena Richese
You can use the aforementioned method with Helena and go to Research Station using your Signet Ring. This increases your chances as it lowers the cost of Kwisatz by one, allowing you to draw one Dagger and still be able to purchase the Kwisatz Haderach! (You need two Convincing Arguments tho).

Then there is another method, which is also my favorite one since you don't have to waste one Water.
For it to work, you need to have your Signet Ring, both your Convincing Arguments, NO Dagger and NO Seek Allies.
Use your Signet Ring and go to Hall of Oratory.
Done!
You can Reveal on your next turn and buy the Kwisatz Haderach.

Paul Atreides
One may claim that it is no coincidence that Paul of house Atreides is able to aquire the Kwisatz Haderach in the first round ;)
Here you also use the Any Leader Method and use your Signet Ring to go to Research Station. This will also increase your chances as Paul is able to draw one extra card using his Discipline ability.

Kwisatz Haderach isn't the best card in the game.

I would argue one could try to do this against player they can't usually win, if you do the math this is a very risky start that most time you just self pwn, but if you are that lucky it become easy mode.

Thanks for reading my guide and taking the time to write a comment. By definition, this is still a guide, as it guides towards something. Also, this guide is just to show the extent and creativity Dune: Imperium gives a Player and is obviously not meant for competitive games but more a "just for fun" thing when playing with friends or bots. For a fun time, I especially recommend to use this guide with the 'Fencing Mirror' Challenge. It is incredibly fun!

If you would not call it a guide then fine this would be something useful. This should be called Tips&Tricks or as it is not guaranteed, hence why asking somebody to take a chance which by huge margin just ruin their game as Dune when played against good players do not forgive such mistakes...
