Third time's the charm. Although it bugged me a little bit as I resorted to double Dom+KeenEye (and the concert bug)

This Rickey is not the best one out there. She lacks speed, med S, second wind, and a few of the other FR skills. And then foolish me thought 906 stam + 714 guts was enough to survive without recoveries (most of the times she actually did). I watched in horror as poor Rickey got rushed and ripped to shreds by Mystifying Murmurs. On top of that, 1310 speed was nowhere near the recommend statline (\~1500). Her teammates had to save her late race ass by breaking the kneecaps of every other umas on the course.

I did not expect to win my first platinum in this Hell CM at all. I got so burned out while trying to build a better Rickey (damned green skill inspiration shenanigans) that I just gave up and did some troll runs instead. But CM arrived and somehow Rickey absolutely locked in. 0 late starts and won spot struggle most of the time. She just lost to either well-built Xoguris or stamina debuffers (and one clanker Digitan, lol). I screamed (silently) when she held her lead from the start to the very finish against 2 Xoguris in the finals.

Was I proud? Of fcking course yes, both Rickey and her companions.

Will I use double debuffers again? Most likely no, I still prefer the 3 aces strat.

Really sorry for the excessive larping. I just have too many emotions in me right now.

Big thanks to Copano Rickey, Grass Wonder, Eishin Flash

and Concentration (damn you late start)
