Needless to say, Life Christie got the biggest amount of support since just 'bout everything All Christie got, Life did too. I'm sure the main thing somebody would notice is: where's One with the Rhythm and Unrefined?

Because I feel Hall of the Warrior God is the best thing Christie ever got, I decided to switch One with the Rhythm for Capoeira Style. While it looks inferior, it combines immensely with Hall, giving every attack an instant +2 speed, and that can only go up with Christie's E + Hall. One with the Rhythm is amazing, but with Hall out, I don't like relying on a bunch of E Commits to give speed pumps, so that's where Capoeira replaces it. As for Unrefined, I felt I had more than enough damage pump (lol@Path + TSW's Fire E).

This deck, as mentioned above, centers around Hall of the Warrior God and pushing Kicks through, obviously. I decided to leave The Boot in my Life version because it's just too solid and doesn't really interfere with the symbol spread. My deck packs plenty of highER damage Kicks, enough so to sort of get around Stand Off. Never the less, this deck plays around immensely with such cards as Looking for a Thrill, which auto-triggers off of Hall + Capoeira (1 commit for +2 speed +3 damage?), as well as typical Christie look-n'-draw with Researching + SfF/HfJ. Quick Exit is a nifty card for readying Capoeira, Researching/SfF/HfJ, Path of the Master, etc.

Christie Monteiro* - All

Actions: 4

4x Frantic Search 3/4 +2-HIGH

Assets: 8

3x Path of the Master 2/5 +2-MID [unique]
3x Wonderworld Comics 2/5 +3-LOW [Terrain]
2x Designer Clothes 2/5 +3-HIGH [unique] (A/L/W)

Attacks: 18

4x Fruit Picker 5/3 +1-MID (A/L/W)
4x Lunging Brush Fire 5/3 (A/L/W)
3x Knee Thruster 5/2 +2-MID (A/L/W)
4x The Boot 4/3 +1-LOW [stun: 1]
3x Evil Sparrow 3/3 +2-MID (A/L)

Foundations: 38

4x Bloodline Rebellion 3/5 +3-HIGH [Desperation: 0]
3x One with the Rhythm 3/4
4x For the Money 2/5 +3-MID
4x Body of Souls 2/5
4x Genius Alchemist 2/5
3x Sacrifices for the Cause 2/4 +3-MID
4x Looking for a Thrill 2/4 +3-HIGH
4x Searching for Family 2/4
4x Researching the Past 2/4
4x Hunt for Jin 1/5 +2-LOW

Nothing much has changed for All Christie, which is fine for her because now she has the ability to commit Stand Offs and the amazing Looking for a Thrill. While Life Christie is likely the one to look for, All Christie still gets her notorious LBF + BoS + Researching-SfF/HfJ insanity.

Water Christie

Actions: 6

3x Acrobatic 2/5 +1-LOW
3x Silent Xia Sheng Stance 2/5 +1-MID

Assets: 6

3x Hall of the Warrior God 3/5 +2-HIGH [Terrain]
3x Robes of the Grandmaster 3/4 [unique]

Attacks: 18

4x Fruit Picker 5/3 +1-MID
4x Lunging Brush Fire 5/3 +2-MID
3x Knee Thruster 5/2 +2-LOW
4x Soaring Dance 4/3 +0-HIGH
3x Tiao Wu Kick 3/3 +1-MID [stun:1]

Foundations: 34

3x Strange Fashion 3/5
3x One with the Rhythm 3/4
4x Together Again 2/5 +2-MID
3x Playful 2/5 +3-HIGH
4x Atoning for the Past 2/5 +3-MID
3x Inhuman Speed 2/5
4x Searching for Family 2/4
3x Loyal at All Costs 2/4
4x Know When to Talk... 1/5 +3-LOW
3x Close Friends 1/5

While it's dangerously difficult for a Water Christie to stand out from her Life cousin, she can finally do so. For starters, Water Christie doesn't have to Capoeira Style when she can simply use Together Again to get the same +1 speed Hall of the Warrior +1 abuse. Robes + Hall is also here for an astounding +3 speed to every attack not named Soaring Dance. Strange Fashion helps keep the tall glass of water alive. Loyal at all Costs is all sorts of abusiveness in its looping shenanigans.

Anyways, there's a mini deck gal of how Christie's improved. Finally something to add to the profile :D
