Down the Hole of Alchemy Carolyn

With a new campaign introduces lots of new cards for everyone's favorite Psychologist!

For awhile I've been eyeing Down the Rabbit Hole with Carolyn since Ancient Stones and Alchemical Distillation are good targets for it. However, it always lacked enough good support cards to make it worth it. But with the introduction of Cleaning Kit, Carolyn gets more chances to perfect her alchemy!

Some key interactions include:

• Get 2 Ancient Stones for the price of 1! (2 for initial purchase, 2 EXP to upgrade both)
• Be a bartender cleaning glasses for folks! I know its not very good compared to using those charges/actions with Alchemy/other things, but its too cute that Carolyn can now promote clean drinking!
• Keen Eye for 2 EXP is nice for Int buffing for repeated Alchemy/clues and the occasional resource juiced uppercuts against a couple cultists.
• Be able to add secrets to your stone or charges to your allies big spells!

EXP/UPGRADE NOTES:

Despite it saying 48 (actually 50) experience you get 14 bonus experience over most campaigns from Down the Rabbit Hole, 3 from Shrewd Analysis, and 3 from In the Thick of It. So its really 30 experience. Extra experience can be spent upgrading Dynamite Blasts (6), Soul Sanctification (7), or even buying another Field Agent and Charisma(7).

You start with Ancient Stones (2) and Ever Vigilant (1) with In the Thick of It for no penalty.

List of Upgrades:

• Field Agent (3) (free space left by upgraded Keen Eye)

• Stick to the Plan (7)
• Backpacks x 2 (4)
• Cleaning Kit x 2 (6)
• Liquid Courage x 2 (2)
• Stand Together x 2 (6)

Other cards to consider:

• Taunt - (0) is a useless card, Taunt (3) is a very good card as it lets her hit a 4 damage to everything combo with Dynamite Blast for no actions/tests. I preferred Stand Together because you can play it at lvl 0, but you can replace Liquid Courage with this and be completely fine waiting for it to upgrade since Liquid Courage has about the same level of usefulness.
• Leadership - Upgraded Leadership is pretty solid resource generation with Alchemy as well can throw it at Liquid Courage too, additionally at this point you have a lot of Practiced Cards. I had the combo originally, but got edged out due to limited space/Mystic/Seeker slots.
