Other comments I had lot of fun running aquinnah and that definitely makes you stronger at boss fights, but jankier at the rest. Also i think daniella level 0 deck is possibly the best fighter level 0 deck. It's so insane the amount of damage you can do, and how easy it is
I'm reserving my spot for the 2-3 campaign boxes from now where the primary Survivor Fighter (without a good splash) problem finally gets fixed, and Daniela, Hand, and Silas all shoot up the tier list.
The only thing ill say is that her relatively experience cheap deck gives her the ability to play around either some of the more busted exile cards like burn after reading and fortune or fortune or fate (maybe even unscrupulous loan instead of emergency cache)
In 2:50 you talk about letting massive enemy attack daniela first to evade so it cant attack others. However this only works if daniela is the Lead investigator. In enemy phase enemies attack in player order. So lead investigator gets attacked first and then in clockwise other investigators. Thanks for another great video!
No, "Massive" actually lets you choose the order of attacks: When an enemy with the massive keyword attacks during the enemy phase, resolve its (full) attack against each investigator it is engaged with, one investigator at a time. The lead investigator chooses the order in which these attacks resolve. The massive enemy does not exhaust until its final attack of the phase resolves.
Again the lack of decent survivor weapons hurts a red fighter that isn't William Yorick. She has no recursion. Surprised at the Hallowed Mirror cut since it keeps your guard dogs going for longer since: Guard Dog x2+ Wrench + Survival Knife + Daniela's ability is where you get your burst damage against bosses.
I fondly remember running Aquinnah in a deck back when we had a limited card pool, but she's largely fallen by the wayside. It's not that Aquinnah is bad, at all. It's that 1) She's very expensive on resources and 2) She's a solution to enemies that's very unpredictable in whether or not it will actually help solve the enemies (Without huge amounts of meta knowledge about the damage/horror split of what you'll be facing). I don't think I'd be willing to run Aquinnah without knowing my team had some sort of economy they were willing to share. If they did though, it's possible. Giving up Pete and Jessica hurts, but it's definitely not the only way to build her. Those two allies are really good, but it's a big cost. That said, I've never looked too hard at Aquinnah in Daniela just because of the economy issue. I'm always the guy trying to get Stand Together 3 first upgrade, never the one trying to co-ordinate someone else's deck to improve mine. It's just not my playstyle, even though I'm happy to be part of that sort of combo.
I ran an Aquinnah deck and honestly it wasn't great. I found Daniella deceptively squishy with only having 6 horror soak and an ally that takes horror to use their ability. Aquinnah also explicitly doesn't block horror damage which makes intentionally getting attacked even scarier.
It's technically better than Hallowed Mirror if you just wind up healing yourself, but I highly value the flexibility of being able to heal a Guard Dog or a teammate.
Just want to say I love this series, and each day I am looking forward for the next episode

This video made me realize I'm not supposed to take an attack of opportunity from using an engage action.
If an enemy is engaged with you and you try engage another enemy, that will provoke the currently engaged enemy.
@mudgee92 That I know, and it makes sense. I've been applying AoO to Engage actions when I engage with enemies on other players.

That's a really good deck list. I can't think of any other cars I would want to add....
I really like Breach the Door and Survival Technique with her. Now everyone gets to be cluver, if they have an action left
Everyone talking about the axe. But at a crossroad has a 100% appearance rate on people who can take it in your videos
Real pet card fr

What are your thoughts on her synergy with Aquinnah? It’s so hard to give up either Peter and Jessica but I’m unsure

Isn't Flesh Ward a more (action) efficient version of Hallowed Mirror, if you only want to keep yourself alive? And you can run two of those.
