I'm using a frontrunner as a 2nd debuffer just so my rice has at least 1 person ahead of her so she can pass someone to trigger blue rose closer. Also makes it slightly more likely for her to be in 3rd place and be able to trigger both redshift and shooting for victory and instantly cap speed.

the global ref doc tells you to inherit power on mediums.
this is a lie. fuck power.
inherit maruzensky and taiki uniques. that's all the power you need.
the game will constantly tell you you don't have enough power. you'll win anyway.
inherit stamina.
5 speed 1 stam deck. Black + Week + Creek + 3 more speed of your choice.
You want speed cards with friendship bonus and special priority.

Super Creek will be rainbow pretty often, and the number will always be high. 1LB Creek is enough to make 34 on a solo friendship. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT. It is really easy to see big stam numbers and think you should take them, but getting 1200 speed is a Herculean task on Rice, and overleveling stamina is as easy as not getting out of bed for 3 more hours. Pretty much every card type is "bond building clump only" except speed until you get into year 3 and start getting an idea of what you need to adjust.

Resign to the fact that special week will give you hydrate. Plan to go without Gourmand. Flex when you don't have to.
