Lots of people responding here, but I'll say that after playing her a bit, Lini is my new favorite and go-to character. I completely love the animal companion ability and max it as soon as possible. I also run 2 or 3 cures - because the cure is "free" (I'm about 85% to recharge it), I have no worries about discarding cards constantly so I can always use her shapechange ability, discard blessings for extra explores, etc. So, my tips would be: Run 3 cures (2 is probably enough, but 3 to be sure) ALWAYS have an animal ally in your hand Upgrade Animal companion ASAP, Wisdom and Strength, and allies (I do like getting 1 weapon card feat first).
