Four years on and Synisill's review is still all relevant in almost all cases, but there are two new investigators that can squeeze a little extra use out of poor, poor Aquinnah.
It takes some luck or surgical card draw, but Aquinnah can turn off Patrice Hathaway's signature weakness. The Watcher from Another Dimension is an enemy that attacks you, it just does it from your hand; thus, she can reflect the 3 damage onto an enemy at your location. The significant caveat is that you'd have to save up the whopping 5 resources and have it available during the window when she flies through your hand to play her. You'd also likely need some form of deck manipulation to make sure your deck runs out only when there's an enemy at your location, or else the reflect fails and you still take the hit. Her expensive upgrade makes her $1 cheaper, but her upgraded ability is a bit wasted because you can't reflect it back at the Watcher itself. You may fight or evade the Watcher as though it were at your location, but it's not actually at your location for other effects, such as Aquinnah's ; it's still considered to be in your hand.
More relevant is new kid on the block Daniela Reyes, whose entire schtick is goading enemy attacks. She synergizes with Counterpunch, Toe to Toe, Fend Off and the Bangle of Jinxes. Useful for dealing with enemies you don't want to engage, like the Innsmouth spoiler or Innsmouth spoiler, or enemies that are just plain annoying like everyone's favorite bird. Of course, she's still $5 and still competes for a slot against the perennially useful Peter Sylvestre, but there's always Charisma and Calling in Favors.
