If I had Kedzie, I would +2 toughness, +3 stamina her. That, I think, would help her A LOT. Especially in this particular fight, where she got drained completely around the 2nd, and was kinda just going through the motions in the 3rd. Her offence seems okay, but the stamina is in pain.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
