Daisy reads books full of secrets

Main cluever. Use your free tome action to research Dream Diary and Archaic Glyphs first, once that is done you only need Old Book of Lore to keep finding gas.

Prio upgrades: Old Book of Lore to fix economy, both resources and to safe actions. Reloading secrets is done with Enraptured and Astounding Revelation. Dream Diary to free up the tome action for OBoL again. As you will have a full hand this one will most often get the two bonus icons. Grisly Totem to get more card draw and icons. Archaic Glyphs to save investigate actions. Helped by Perception (and later the upgrade) and Essence of the Dream, recharging can be done with Enraptured.

Down the Rabbit Hole helps save XP on all of this. After those upgrades many other cards have level 2 versions.

Remaining XP can be spent on Studious, Death • XIII.

Hand slots are tight until you have Daisy's Tote Bag in play, be carefull not to let The Necronomicon push a good card out. I typically leave The Necronomicon in play, you cycle so fast that it is not worth the horror to get rid of it.

I considered parallel back. This would enable astronomical atlas, but there is no hand slot left and I think the current setup is better. You have plenty of resources to fuel Blood-Rite and it is useful to be able to handle some enemies alone. This would disallow upgrading Ward of Protection and potential upgrades to Abigail Foreman and Cryptic Research.
