The design of this deck is centered on two things: avoiding meaningful interaction with enemies and secondary clue gathering.

While we cannot copy Delve, we are vastly more likely to draw at least one copy than any other deck besides Daisy. We'll simply upgrade out of them. As little as two bonus exp across the first two scenarios of a campaign has serious iterative advantages for Sefina.

Bear in mind: Arcane Initiate digs for Painted World as well as our key spells, Seeking and Shriveling. We actually run a whopping 11 spells. This boosts our consistency to pretty brutal levels.

This is because Sefina still has a little trouble working with just level zero events, but the power of of the deck changes markedly with even small amounts of exp.

Lockpicks seem like an auto-include if you need to act as primary clue-gatherer, but otherwise they often have few advantages over flashlight early in a campaign. Instead, our first upgrade should be Streetwise. After that, Lockpicks become more reasonable, but they do exhaust, another strike against them compared to Flashlight. Adaptable is also an extremely powerful upgrade for Sefina.

Access to even a single copy of Hot Streak or Sure Gamble allows Sefina to significantly distort the game. I currently prefer 1x Hot Streak, replacing Delve.

Our next upgrade is actually likely to be a second Hot Streak or our first Sure Gamble. Our goal is to be able to abuse Streetwise for literally every test and simply never fail when making tests.

I've been debating including Pickpocket but can't yet justify it. The upgraded version is interesting because it provides a significant virtual-rebate on Streetwise for dodging.

I really like your list, super thought out! I ran it last night for the first PtC scenario, and it went great! I also like your suggested upgrade path, but one thing that I am wondering about is how valuable Charisma might be. It's tough trying to decide between Arcane Initiate and the good ol Louisiana Lion.

Been on my mind, too. I've had a hard time deciding. Please let me know what you pick, and how it goes!

Been playing Path to Carcosa with Sefina. Just completed the 2nd (or 4th if you're counting the expansion itself) scenario and so far she's been incredible. I am also looking at charisma since there are a few allies I'd like to include. Thanks for the build! :)
