* [Dr. Milan Christopher](/card/01033) by a mile. Then any of: * [Grisly Totem](/card/05119) * [Practice Makes Perfect](/card/06197) * [Deduction](/card/01039) * [Perception](/card/01090) * [Magnifying Glass](/card/01030) * any other skill card that you want to keep for her Forced turn 1, rather than chance that you draw something else. It is really important to value some skill cards that you want to slide under her on turn 1 & 2 in case you do not draw something better, or at least something to refill your hand once you have your 3 key cards in play. You don't want to be down to 1 card in hand with no way to quickly refill your hand on the next turn.

Amanda gets alllllll the clues. As per FAQ her ability is FORCED. This is just a basic misprint. The card is mutated as such to reflect this on arkhamdb vs. your physical copy. The basic premise is to setup turns where you can slide [Deduction](/card/01039), [Perception](/card/01090) etc. under Amanda when you are going to do a lot of investigating that turn to quickly scoop up all of the clues and refresh your hand with skill cards. After a few upgrades this gets easier and easier to maintain her engine. If you are feeling nice, try to help [Daniela Reyes](/card/08001) by timing [Crack the Case](/card/05110) when she is at your location to help her with resources maybe once a game. You are probably going to be close. Otherwise the resources are to pay for [Connect the Dots](/card/05025) or later on [Higher Education](/card/02187) etc. Amanda hides how strong she is with her skills at 2 across the board. She is easily one of the superpower investigators in the entire game with the ability to get through her whole deck and be testing with all the skill cards at very high numbers for anything. The main thing to be doing is managing the cycling of your hand through managing progression rounds of clue gathering or whatever goal is needed with rounds to refill your hand for future progression rounds. The game clock is basically dictated by how you play. Being able to have clue gathering rounds that suck up all the clues with [Deduction](/card/01039) and having it committed a lot when Forced under her, you will be faster than the game clock. The gamestyle required from you to value skill cards more and managing committing cards and refilling your hand from 1 to full in a turn is essential to understand. So if you fail to manage refilling your hand then the lows of Amanda will be felt. But you are in control of those lows. So plan for refill your hand. Cards are your resource. [Vicious Blow](/card/01025) is there for enemy management if it is needed. If you tuck it under [Amanda Sharpe](/card/07002) and have enough ? to commit you can outlay a lot of damage in one round. So holding onto [Vicious Blow](/card/01025) is your backup plan when swarmed.

Upgrades

* 2x [Deduction](/card/02150) * 2x [Unrelenting](/card/07196) replace 2x [Deep Knowledge](/card/07023). You want to use this card by putting the good chaos tokens on it to refill your hand with cards. So on a turn after you've emptied your hand you can put this under Amanda with her FORCED, and then draw 2 cards for each test. So 6 cards! * 2x [Grisly Totem](/card/05194) (helps to refill hand with card draw) * 2x [Perception](/card/60228) (helps to refill hand if placed under Amanda with her forced. * 1x [Vicious Blow](/card/02299) * 2x [Shortcut](/card/03232) * 1x [Pathfinder](/card/02108) replace 1x [Curiosity](/card/05026) * [Higher Education](/card/02187) permanent If infinity XP: * [Studious](/card/05276) permanent * 1x [Hiking Boots](/card/08035) replace 1x [Unexpected Courage](/card/01093) * 1x [Deciphered Reality](/card/02303) replaces 1x [Connect the Dots](/card/05025) * 1x [The Eye of Truth](/card/06325) replaces 1x [Prophesy](/card/05034)
