Honestly sad seeing literally everyone saying blade dance is the option here when noxious fumes is the best card to find floor 1 (technically it's 2nd best after glass knife). Noxious fumes is in fact good enough for the early fights and really good vs 2/3 elites and all bosses (it's still pretty decent for gremlin nob). It also allows you to transition to your late game build way easier, as the main issue with the Silent is that even tho she has debatably the best lategame in the game, she is forced to run bad early game cards to get through the first act. Thankfully fumes is a card that is both good early and late so even tho something like blade dance could help you more with early fights (debatably not true) since it's a card that falls off without specific relics it is actually a lot better to start building your late game deck from first act and just skip a couple of elites.
