Daniela Reyes( Try in expert mode)

This is a 0xp deck of Daniela. The following is the explanation of this investigator and its deck.

1.Attribute

With 4-1-5-2, 4 indicates that she has stronger resistance against the treacheries demanding . 5 means she behaves more cruel in the fighting. With the threat of "-6/-8", Daniela could easily get access to 7 with the Enchanted Blade, so it's easy to ensure the fighting value exceeding 6 or 8 by commiting 1 or 2 cards. 1 means you have no way to investigate and benefit from Scavenging. 2 also suggests that. In addition, taking track shoes does not mean that Daniela needs 1 more agility. It is matched with the coming Drawing Thin. In a word, from the perspective of combating, I think Daniela's attribute has been better than any other Guardian in the game until now(maybe equal to Mark Harrigan). 8-6 means her sanity may be threatened by the treachery and enemy.

2.Ability and Weakness

Daniela's ability could be triggered unlimited times in a turn. However, the provoking of opportunity attack could not trigger this ability. Thus, this ability may be triggered in three periods.

• Mythos. Some treacheries may let enemies in play move and attack you.
• Investigator. Some player cards may let enemies attack you rather than opportunity attack, like Toe to Toe. Retaliate or alert enemies may attack you if you fail the skill test as well.
• Enemy. Everyone can understand.

This is an outstanding ability. Daniela's ability support her strength in the whole stage of the campaign. Therefore, the deck building is supposed to match her ability. ability is just so-so, merely an opportunity for automatically success. The weakness enemy, Mob Goons is not hard to deal with. You could choose Handcuffs or just beat it.

3. Deck building of 0xp

She could take 0 ,1-5 ,maxmium of 5 cards of0 and Neutral 0-5. Due to the influence of card pool, Daniela's early stage is much more stronger than the later stage. The following is the explanation.

• Cards for resource and cards. 2x Emergency Cache, 2x Take Heart and 1x Stand Together is sufficient for Daniela's cost. This deck does not include some precious assets. Each is below or equal to 2-3 cost. If you find your resource overflows, you could replace Stand Together with another card. Glory and Take Heart helps you get your key cards more quickly, which is very essential for Daniela. I don't advise replacing them. There are always some skill tests that you have to give up and Take Heart is truly a good card of . In addition, 1x Tetsuo Mori could help you find your intended item in the player deck while sharing damage and horror. 2x Overpower is also a way for drawing cards.
• Core combating cards. In my point of view, 2x Enchanted Blade and 1x Survival Knife with [Mechanic's Wrench] (/card/08002) is enough. After Machete went into taboo, Enchanted Blade seemed to behave better than other weapons of 0xp of Guardian. If you could find stronger weapon, just replace them. In my practical experience, Daniela needs to play the asset of Mechanic's Wrench as soon as possible. Besides, enemies usually cannot survive until the coming of enemy phase. This Survival Knife, however, is not that essential that everybody imagines. At first I think it's very important and should take 2 in the deck, but later I find the effiency of combating is much higher than what I have thought in the early stage of the campaign. Enemies usually could be eliminated in the round of birth. So in fact, you could not even take Survival Knife. Toe to Toe is a well-designed card for every Guardian, which is especially matched Daniela. One card, one action and some damage or horror is equal to 3 damage to the enemy. It's a lucrative deal. As for the skills, 2x Daring gurantees that in some key actions you could ensure your combating value exceeds 8 because of the existence of "-8". Retaliate could also contributes to triggering the ability. 2x Vicious Blow and 2x Overpower is common. I would like to stress the strength of 2x Guard Dog. This is the core part of the deck. Guard Dog may be replaced by Beat Cop in other Guardians' decks, but for Daniela, Guard Dog is pretty significant and irreplaceable. This is why I choose In the Thick of It and the Charisma. 2x Guard Dog means 2 additional sanity and 6 damage to the enemies. This is very enough for the combating in the early stage. That's why I've mentioned that the strength of Daniela is higher than any other Guardian in the early stage.
• Survival. Trusted is the best partner of Guard Dog. 4-2 or 5-3 Guard Dog is much stronger than original ones. Now that Daniela has to suffer a lot of attacks, 1x Hallowed Mirror and 1x Flesh Ward is suitable to help you recover from being attacked. If you think your survival ability cannot satisfy your demand, you could take 2x Flesh Ward. 2x Bandages is also appropriate for Guard Dog. The Handcuffs could help you deal with your weakness or just reduce the pressure of combating if there are a lot of humanoid enemies in this campaign.
• Temporarily unavailable. It's Calling in Favors and Track Shoes. Both could help you behave better in the middle or later stage of the campaign. The former could exchange dogs and Mori in the early stage, while the latter is tailored for Drawing Thin.

4.Upgrade

From my point of view, Drawing Thin and Charisma possesses the highest priority. Jessica Hyde and Aquinnah is very suitable for Daniela. I don't think Peter Sylvestre is very significant unless you get too much horror, because it cannot increase your combating effiency and effectiveness in the middle stage. Personal views, I think. Grisly Totem and Relic Hunter can recycle Take Heart, which is also fine. Blood Will Have Blood also suitable. For increasing the combating efficiency, you could choose Chainsaw or carry Old Hunting Rifle. However, the latter is pretty unstable without Will to Survive. The two dogs could also be integrated with the help of Rod of Animalism.

5.Conclusion

Daniela has excellent performance in the early stage. Yet, with the increasing of experience, her strength will indicate a downward trend compared to other main fighters in the team. In the practice you need to make good use of her ability and pay attention to your health and sanity. All in all, Daniela offers another way for Guardian, the counterattack system.
