Champion Stadium

[river pagoda]

Always?

[toxic cobalt]

99%

[river pagoda]

I see

Ndiwjddk I think I'm too weak rn

I'll come back after getting more orbs to grid

[toxic cobalt]

I would replace Rosa with MC torchic for the Mina buffs

You've done really well!!

[river pagoda]

😩 ty

first week after coming back im surprised im even this close to doing cs hard mode fully

so close to finishing

got like

i think 12 pieces rn

nvm 11

[swift swan]

you're doing great! for sinnoh especially

[river pagoda]

if i beat cynthia tht is* then ill get 11 😔

[river pagoda]

is sinnoh super hard?

;0

[toxic cobalt]

Mina can do it, I believe.

[river pagoda]

i just need to raise her up more

grid, lvl up misty and power up if necessary

il swap out rosa for torchic to

[toxic cobalt]

What BP units did you pull

[river pagoda]

wuh my msgs kep getting deleted

i got zinnia cuz i thought she wud be usefulk

cuz of her status shield

but apparently thts super niche

and bp surge wudve been better due to crit buffs

so 😔

[toxic cobalt]

I forgot she had a status shield

[river pagoda]

only reaosn y i got her, turns out its rarely ever useful 😩

[toxic cobalt]

Do you have a rainbow BP unit?

[river pagoda]

do not

im a week in 😩

im at like 900 bp points i think

[toxic cobalt]

Ah I thought they gave one free

[river pagoda]

nop

j the regular ticket

😔

[toxic cobalt]

For the record I beat 2k Master mode this week with Mina 4* Misty 4* and BP Surge

So if you get Mina gridded up I reckon you can do it

[river pagoda]

gives me hope 😩 will do

gotta remember to put all the orbs i get this week toward mina

and any lvl mats for torchic cuz i dont have her lvled

wud be much more useful than rosa

[toxic cobalt]

Rosa is useful if you EX her

[river pagoda]

the rest of the powerups for her r locked behind the daily login so i gotta wait 😔 man

[swift swan]

comunally acknowledged as the hardest

[river pagoda]

damn

how does the cs rotation work? cuz i swear i saw this same lineup w diff weaknesses last week

[swift swan]

the region rotation or the weaknesses?

Weaknesses are generally random, though sometimes they overlap with new banners released on that week (eg, we have ice-weak this week because of SSN's new release and Ghetsis's powerboost)

[river pagoda]

what abt the region rotation? how often does tht change?

[swift swan]

a region lasts 4-5 weeks

the rotation is based on the order of release

[river pagoda]

oo i c

[swift swan]

Back in the olden days, we had Kanto, Johto, Unova, Alola

[river pagoda]

so next month wud be unova?

[swift swan]

and then in May we had Sinnoh for the first time, interrupting the rotation of Kanto from Johto

[river pagoda]

oo

[swift swan]

then in August we got Hoenn, interrupting the rotation again

So now our current rotation is Kanto > Sinnoh > Johto > Alola > Hoenn > Unova, repeat

next month should be Johto

unless they release a new CS region out of nowhere

[river pagoda]

Oh thts what u meant by release order

Kinda wonky but oh well

[swift swan]

dena just doesn't know how to count

[river pagoda]

LMAO

[frosty axle]

I did upload my Week 2 F2P run https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1039196490935062538

[toxic cobalt]

Nice! How was Joltik ?

Also you can link direct to the post instead of the channel I got confused

[frosty axle]

it opens the post directly for me and Joltik seems to work quite well even at 4*

is it different for pc or other devices? this one work? #1039196490935062538 message

[undone ether]

This was painful

9 freaking sync nukes..... Ugh....

[frosty axle]

would have better luck with physical damage

[undone ether]

Dunt have decent fairy phy strike orz

Wouldve used redchu and pika for this

[old orchid]

Umm Mina exists

[undone ether]

._. wat team though?

I was contemplating just use champ iris .-.

[old orchid]

Pretty sure Mina CGio Misty can clear Cynthia

[undone ether]

Hummm

Exing cgii huh...

[old orchid]

Or Hop

Well you dont need him exed

[undone ether]

I should have enough 5star tickets for cgio....

[old orchid]

But he is a good ex option

[frosty axle]

You can see what I used in my F2P run, but usually it's Hop and special defense buffer with mina

if only we got EX with new 3*/4* grids

[undone ether]

Thissss

I cant in good conscious put her in hp12 .-.

[toxic cobalt]

This one works for me

[swift swan]

#1011234431291359302 message here's a Mina team

[toxic cobalt]

Mina ! Mina ! Mina !

[swift swan]

[rigid flint]

If you do have OG Red

He is a saving grace for Mina

And then just put in a spdef buffer

And boom Mina destroys stage

[tribal agate]

uh?

Mina is physical and we have 3-4 clears already without Red it's not that hard at all

[rigid flint]

Oh ik

Just suggesting an easy way to go about it :P

[tribal agate]

oh you said buffer i read debuffer and was confused

[rigid flint]

Oh lmao

Understandable

[chilly sparrow]

Damn it!!! Arbok died on the sandstorm but it killed my last 2 pairs at the same time!!!!! Aaron why!!!!

Ive got no luck even with 850 points run lol

[swift swan]

that's very close then

just a few more tries

[frosty axle]

oh ok cool thanks for telling me

[onyx ice]

In the end, for fairy weak i always end up using Lillie's Clefairy as dps

I think most CS fairy weak have some sort of accuracy debuff.or evasion boost

[manic mica]

I have absolutely no clue on who to use against Aaron pls help if possible

[keen jasper]

You need someone with weather

Who are your ground-types BTW?

[manic mica]

Hapu and Clay ;-;

[keen jasper]

Hapu is kinda decent, but still kinda bad too

[manic mica]

I mean I’m gonna pity a Cynthia soon but not in time for the week

I’ll just skip this week then ig

[keen jasper]

Have you tried to off-type?

[manic mica]

Yea I don’t have any good Dps tho

My Palkia was hitting 900 damage on a crit with maxed Sp.atk

So it’s cool I’ll skip

[swift swan]

Is Aaron inflicted with a status change? He has Acute Senses, remember

And if you're offtyping with Palkia, Hydro Pump is better. So bring rain

You kinda want weather against Aaron so he hits less hard anyway

[tribal agate]

crazy how Master Mode makes it easier in that regard in a sense

gradual heal disables acute senses so you don't have to worry about it

[swift swan]

Aaron turns off his acute senses too, actually

His postsync TM gives himself gradual healing

But that does mean, if you're doing hard mode and you don't bring status change, you have to wait until Aaron syncs

[frosty axle]

correct I always forget that same with resillience on other stages

[peak stirrup]

Anyone else’s 5/5 EX Olivia with max Attack, Speed, and Crit under sand barely taking half of Arcanine’s health and not even killing both sides?
On Round 2 for boosted physical attack

[long thicket]

Tried Sabrina with these two, but Aaron is too tanky.

Gonna try with someone else.

Damage is very good for the sides, but Aaron's tanking everything + his healing don't make it work.

Well, I might have to activate a defense debuffer.

[void wyvern]

If you are on hard mode make sure you’re bringing someone to deal with acute senses, being someone who inflicts a status change

[manic mica]

What does acute senses do?

[mellow linden]

Reduces damage taken unless affected by a status change (flinch, confused, trapped, Gradual Healing, Restrained, etc.)

[manic mica]

I wanna bring my Calem to try and nuke him but idk who to bring with him to support

Or maybe I don’t bring Calem idk

[full mesa]

He is quite bulky. I doubt Calem with terrain can nuke after 2x sync buff.

[zealous karma]

Does flints Houndoom have a stat boosting skill?

[frosty axle]

not that I can see

[zealous karma]

I’m on my 20th attempt and Calem has not confused center once

Calem Vs wise entry off type

Is a Calem dub

[static plaza]

I need help with my team for champion stadium

[austere quest]

K

Feel free to post

[void wyvern]

We’re here to help. Just pitch whatever is troubling you!

[white gale]

well, Mina/Sonia/SS Wally worked to get me 2k against Cynthia! never doubt the power of non-5*s 😄 (and having permanent Fairy Wish helps too)

for next week, I'm most worried about Steel weak... do you think Sonia/Wikstrom/PMarnie (only 1/5) can get 2k?

[rigid flint]

Oh for sure!

Wikstrom's got a pretty decent nuke, Marnie can still do well even at 1/5

And Steel Zone just helps the team even more

[void wyvern]

Wikstrom goes crazy

[rigid flint]

Yeah I might just sub Solgaleo out for Wikstrom

[void wyvern]

Bertha is hella bulky physically.

Not even passives she just has high stats

[rigid flint]

Pity I don't have any special steel strikers

[void wyvern]

There’s only one special steel striker, Raihan. Unless you’re a madman and you want to use LuSSamine mirror shot

[rigid flint]

Mmm good point

But wait

I thought steel weak bertha was just bulky in hp

[mellow linden]

Steel weak Bertha has Wise Entry, iirc

[rigid flint]

Uh

Does she?

[zealous karma]

Raihan will still beat the stage

[rigid flint]

I don't remember her having it

[zealous karma]

She does ye

Calem can probably beat that stage too

I am elated he beat wise entry Flint

[zealous karma]

I thought she did

[mellow linden]

Ah, looks like sides do but Bertha herself doesn’t

Sides have Wise Entry x3, hilariously enough

[zealous karma]

Who hurt them

[mellow linden]

Clearly designed for Thorton

[zealous karma]

True

[rigid flint]

Obviously SS Lusamine hurt them

With mirror shot

[zealous karma]

Smh

This isn’t how we deal with anger kids

Oh my gosh

I’m so sad

Mina not only didn’t our nuke PSerena

But she didn’t put nuke my 2/5 PDawn

And Cynthia has wise entry

[rigid flint]

Tragedy

Oh

Yeah Mina is like that

[zealous karma]

How do you not out nuke PDawn

When you have

-5 def and physical atks do more damage param

I’m going to cry

[rigid flint]

Mina's stats aren't necessarily the best

[zealous karma]

PDawn doesn’t have a nuke!

[rigid flint]

And I'm not entirely sure her multipliers do a butt ton

[zealous karma]

She gets like 3…

Innate dominating sync and pecking order

[rigid flint]

Yeah but in the end she still doesn't do a lot

[zealous karma]

Dies

PSerena and PDawn are just strong

And am not coping that mina is bad

[rigid flint]

Cries

[zealous karma]

But why did my PDawn out nuke my PSerena

That’s funny

When inertia isn’t fully maxed out

[rigid flint]

Now that I'm confused

Game be wack fr

[zealous karma]

My PDawn is 2/5 and my PSerena is 3/5

The comedy that is this game

[rigid flint]

Truly a PoMa moment

[zealous karma]

Maybe it was the extra sync buff

[rigid flint]

Mmm yeah just maybe

It's totally not like sync buffs buff the atk and spatk of all sync pairs

[zealous karma]

I am still shocked PDawn hit 25K sync nuke without sync tiles 🦑

It was def the sync buffs change lel

[lavish lantern]

Sycamore EX is going to be so good when it shows up

[manic mica]

Okay, I’m crawling back for help with Aaron

Whatever I’ve gotta send I will just let me know

[zealous karma]

Send 5*/ex units only

I think Naomi with Bertha can clear it

Or any sand unit

@toxic cobalt did you use Naomi this week?

[toxic cobalt]

No, supposedly she works though

He's just so bulky

[zealous karma]

Lemme try it

[zealous karma]

No Naomi huh

That’s a pretty smol roster

[manic mica]

I’m new

Sorry :/

[zealous karma]

You might be better off toxic stalling

Naomi came out less than 2 months ago but I understand

No hex maniac either tho?

[manic mica]

Who’s that?

[zealous karma]

Helena

[keen jasper]

Free limited-time units

[toxic cobalt]

What are the other 4 teams?

[zealous karma]

Her event lasted fairly long I’m not asking cause she’s needed here but she’s a nice ghost option and her event lasted forever

[manic mica]

Yea no I don’t have that one

I started again only a few days ago

Maybe a week or so

[zealous karma]

I see I thought I saw you when that event was still around lel

It ended on the like 4th or 7th

[manic mica]

Oh yea I just missed it then

[zealous karma]

If this is for Mm I highly recommend stalling if you aim for 10K

But you’re so new I just recommending going after 4.9K

[manic mica]

Im just doing hard mode tho

[zealous karma]

Ohhh lel

Did you get any types in last week?

[manic mica]

Wdym?

[mellow linden]

Did you do CS last week?

[manic mica]

Yea I did

I beat it

[mellow linden]

Could you show us your type medal progress then

[manic mica]

Mhm

[mellow linden]

Who’s left?

In the Elite 4

[manic mica]

Aaron and Cynthia

[mellow linden]

Oof, gonna be rough to finish the medal then

[manic mica]

I don’t need to finish it, I just wanna beat it

[zealous karma]

Double support a ground unit with like Drake and surge?

Could that work

[toxic cobalt]

I'd rather beat someone to death with Cyrus

[zealous karma]

And then for fairy maylene and a ghost unit and a dark unit?

[toxic cobalt]

I don't see any BP units

[zealous karma]

I forgot Cyrus exists

[mellow linden]

Well they only showed their 5-stars

[zealous karma]

Oh right they’re knew might not have them

[toxic cobalt]

You're right, five-star Noland

Threw me off

[zealous karma]

He’s a good DPS

[manic mica]

I did that for Lucien last week

[toxic cobalt]

Cyrus Acerola Nanu seem the obvious choices for those types. Do you think Potionchu can nuke someone?

[mellow linden]

I’m guessing no Naomi?

[zealous karma]

Nope

[mellow linden]

Since it’s just Hard Mode could save Dragon for Lisia Moonblast against Cynthia

[toxic cobalt]

Never done that, but if it works it works

[zealous karma]

It should

Lisia fairy DPS isn’t the worst and it’s only hard

[mellow linden]

They’d be super scuffed teams, but what about Maylene + Acerola + Nanu for Aaron and SS Elesa + Lisia + Hapu for Cynthia?

[toxic cobalt]

I'm trying Aaron but acute senses is messing me up

[zealous karma]

Who’s the striker for Aaron?

[mellow linden]

Nanu Bite spam

Aaron is mainly just “try to flinch to death”

I guess Karen works as an alternative

Dark Pulse Aggravation

[zealous karma]

I’d use 1:5 Karen over anything lel

[toxic cobalt]

Oh Karen is 3/5!

[mellow linden]

And their Karen is 3/5, so even better

[zealous karma]

Oh hype

[manic mica]

Yea my Karen is 3/5

[zealous karma]

Is she gridded?

[mellow linden]

Yeah, Karen + Acerola + Maylene is sounding good

Still scuffed, but good damage

[lunar dawn]

Huge GGs!!
I just got my first one this week too
(Late reply but I opened forum to this)

[manic mica]

No, I don’t know much about sync grids

[zealous karma]

That’s okay there’s pre made grids by spark, but some fun things to know about grids are

Yellow tiles are good most of the time and red tiles are either MGR’s/MPRS but rarely move specific multipliers or modifiers

[manic mica]

I just upgraded it so she at least has her sync move powered up now

[sharp leaf]

Thanks, and congrats to you too!!

[toxic cobalt]

Dunno about these, even with Karen. I'm being Aaroned to death.

[zealous karma]

The Cynthia team sounds fine

But maybe replace Acerola with someone else?

Ok bp mortynorth

[lunar dawn]

Is maylene dragon

(nvm lagged)

[mellow linden]

If BP Morty is available he’d be solid, I guess since it’s Hard Mode the extra damage from no weather isn’t as bad

[manic mica]

Yea I did no damage with that

[zealous karma]

Oh pain

I forgot he’s weak to dark

[mellow linden]

You’d want to use her Trainer Move twice to get to +6 Sp. Atk., and if you have her Sync Power Flux tile you’d want to have the move gauge at full when you queue her Sync

[void wyvern]

[mellow linden]

Shouldn’t be that big of a deal if Maylene tanks

[zealous karma]

Poma keeps crashing today I wonder why

[bright furnace]

skill memory issue with the phone?

or storage

[zealous karma]

I’ll check

Discord typing has been weird too

[bright furnace]

You can change that in the settings tho

[zealous karma]

I still have 20GB of storage

I can how did it happens?

Like the sound is delayed

[bright furnace]

Keyboard feedback, just disable sound

Unless you like the sound lol

[zealous karma]

I don’t lel

[bright furnace]

Yeah sound and haptics in settings

Keyboard feedback

[manic mica]

Yea best I can do is get this far :/

[zealous karma]

I’m trying

For me I’m getting further than you

[zealous karma]

Found my issue and wow it was all from my video editing software

[zealous karma]

I’m going to help you gib moment

[manic mica]

It’s okay no worries

[lunar dawn]

has anyone suggested status conditions yet

or does it not work with their units

yeah the latter
sry to bother

[zealous karma]

He needs status changes not conditions

[zealous karma]

Have you used your free legendary BP pair ticket yet?

I think everyone got those

But unsure if that was an anni only thing

[lunar dawn]

I believe it's Victory Road?

[bright furnace]

Yeah I’ve had to delete stuff every now and then

[lunar dawn]

I know I got it immediately after postgame

But I started in anni

[manic mica]

Have I used my what?

[lunar dawn]

BP Super Sync Pair Voucher

It'll be in your item bag if you didn't use it
Or just go to exchange -> bp

[manic mica]

I don’t have that

[zealous karma]

Sadge it must’ve been anni only then…

[old orchid]

Maybe you picked lots of hp and strength parameters if you were doing MM

[zealous karma]

My 2/5 one did 19K on round 2

[zealous karma]

This is round 4 correct well I’m doing this on round one but the same idea applies I had an idea and it’s working I’ll get back to you

[manic mica]

It’s fine, I can’t beat it, I’ll try next week

[zealous karma]

I’m having horrible rng with flinches lel

[zealous karma]

You can beat it as long as you can get BP morty

[manic mica]

I’m just gonna keep getting mad, I’ll try next week

[bright furnace]

I mean you have a few more days

[manic mica]

It’s a waste of resources to raise more people anyway, I’m just gonna try next week

[zealous karma]

YES MY IFEA QORKED

LETS GOOOOO

[zealous karma]

I would not call BPMorty a waste of resources he’s a great unit

https://streamable.com/2yqf51

Even if it’s not round 1 killing the sides is super important so you can flinch stall Aaron

If her sync crits she’ll kill the arbok

I don’t record help videos of things that even I find hard I’d say this was pretty easy just required the right RNG

Maylene doesn’t need 4* she just is because of me liking my supports at least 4*

The move order does matter

[manic mica]

I’m 1100 points from my next BP ticket

I can’t get morty sadly

[zealous karma]

Who did you use your first one on?

[manic mica]

I chose Umbreon

[zealous karma]

Sadge

[manic mica]

Yea I appreciate the help but it’s kind of hopeless at this point

[zealous karma]

Id at least try to get the badges still

Not this one

But try to get at least 1 from this fight

And continue to Cynthia

[manic mica]

I legit don’t think I can dish out enough damage before they wipe me

[zealous karma]

Karen can do enough damage here

I’m not even sure how yours dies

Cause at plus 2 def mine survived in my failed attempts

I do sadly have to go now

[deft bluff]

Anyone here who do 2v3 clears?

[winter glen]

I do

[deft bluff]

What teams you used against lucian and flint?

[winter glen]

Memeing around earlier as well

[pine spruce]

Nate fucking wins

[swift swan]

yeah... at 3 enemy sync buffs... whooo, go Nate....

[tidal gull]

@frigid iron

What were the team comps you mentioned?

Sounds like imma need to build some

Actually hold up

[swift swan]

don't forget to , Sinnoh is harder than most other CS regions and you can't just go in blindly

[tribal agate]

you also didn't check the clear threads i sent at all did you #1011675077764456519 message
#1011675077764456519 message

[frigid iron]

Hop-Sycamore-Oak (Grid all, hop buffs sycamore and sycamore keeps himself immortal with horn leech, meanwhile Mew debuffs everyone and nukes)

Misty-Skyla-BP Erika/Koga (you basically poison all the enemies and debuff them with Janine's venom drench. Misty tanks with evasion and she does really well if 3/5)

Cyrus-Winona/May (May better)-a crit buffing support tank like SS Blue

Ghetsis-Tank-sp atk+crit buffer

Ss hilda-whatever-skyla

Thats 5 really good teams

[onyx ice]

I ended up offtyiping flint

[tidal gull]

@frigid iron am I missing any of the ones I need?

Ik some of the legendaries like Hop and Sycamore is from adventures

[frigid iron]

Everyone is suggested is f2p

You'll have them after doing story and legendary adventures

[tribal agate]

you're far from ready to tackle CS and you're trying to skip steps which is only gonna lead to frustration

[tidal gull]

I'm reading the clear you sent and just noting what's missing

I gotta build up that list somehow, so I'm taking stock of what I don't have and grinding out those resources

[tribal agate]

multiple helpers have been telling you to focus your efforts first on legendary adventures you're missing key pairs

[tidal gull]

^

[frigid iron]

You can take it on your own pace but just dont accept to excel without investing some time

[tidal gull]

Sounds like I gotta go get Hop, Sycamore and that dude with Palkia

Though at this rate I should clear all of the adventures

🛌

[frigid iron]

Clear all adventures asap

all the pairs are good

Not just those three

[swift swan]

you gotta get all of them, no reason not to

CS is end-game content, it can wait

[peak stirrup]

Nope, typical presync setup

[old orchid]

Flint has a lot of HP

[peak stirrup]

Did that oneshot mid? I don’t know how much HP he has

[old orchid]

Thats why

[swift swan]

21k at base

[tidal gull]

To do CS I need like 15 units at level 125 right?

[full mesa]

Yes and no.

It's the best minimum option. No if you understand the game mechanics. You can do it with 120 too.

[swift swan]

you need at least 5 decent units that can carry each team

levels aren't the most important aspect, it's teambuilding

proof https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1011951121134268458

[tribal agate]

@molten nimbus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHJl74zzvzw

use this as template, it's fairly simple to reproduce

involves no rng
the Marley can be swapped by anything ranging from supportive to more dmg as long as gauge isn't impacted

[molten nimbus]

Thanks

[tribal agate]

grid for Mina is in description
4* is plenty enough for her
the queuing and input is the most important part (like for every fight)
at 1.5k it'll be even easier

[molten nimbus]

Yeah I think I know what I fucked up now
I didn't use Mina's sync until the last second (was going for supports ex)

Thanks

[tribal agate]

you got this

[toxic cobalt]

Mina Mina Mina

[swift swan]

I'm starting to be a Mina truther too

[bright furnace]

Good thing y’all finally seeing the light with Mina

[boreal rose]

Would these teams work on getting 2k for each battle? They were able to do 850 for each but idk abt 2k

Ik thst at least 1 would need changes

And thats the Olivia team

And maybe Ghetsis

[trail smelt]

Mina’s still crap for me

[swift swan]

Bring a weather setter against Bertha. you don't want the sandstorm up, she hits way too hard

[boreal rose]

Who should i bring?

[frigid iron]

Instead of hop, run a special support with ghetsis. Better if ex.

Second team can be focused on ash himself. Add volkner if you have him and lillie is fine

Ss morty kinda wasted in sun team. Do you have silver power boosted and ex? He and morty are an amazing lethal duo

Other two teams are good but probably center the last team around one dmg dealer

[swift swan]

Lucian team looks fine, can definitely 2k. Cynthia team looks good too though idk what Anni Lillie is doing there, being fully special

[frigid iron]

Was specifying this for a general clear

Would need changes for specific stages

[boreal rose]

Umm

I do not own volkner

[swift swan]

imo you can switch Hop and SS Morty's spots around and try that

[boreal rose]

But Cynthia needs speed

For the Earthquake

[swift swan]

Cynthia only wants sand anyway

hmm, let me check her speed

[frigid iron]

Thats fine, ash doesnt necessarily needs him. His dmg is still good. But flint is special dmg resistant so use a physical attacker for him specifically

[frigid iron]

I think they mean she has ramming speed

[swift swan]

ah

got hilbert?

better if 3/5

[boreal rose]

1/5

Recently got him

I have 5/5 OG Hilda tho

[manic mica]

I just pulled Cynthia - should I use her against Aaron?

[boreal rose]

At 1/5 idk

Maybe for Hard Mode

Cuz ik she can do it on that

[swift swan]

needs heavy support

[swift swan]

doesn't help much, hilda can only raise her own speed

[boreal rose]

Ik

[manic mica]

I’m only doing hard mode

[swift swan]

then you should be fine. just bring someone to inflict status change on Aaron because he takes less damage if not inflicted with status change

[swift swan]

hmmm, he still provides the speed and attack buffs that cynthia needs. though you do need at least 1 TM MPR on cynthia for max crit

[boreal rose]

@swift swan

Is this it?

Or the othe move?

[swift swan]

that will help

his trainer move (in this together) maxes cynthia's attack in 2 clicks so you don't need to click cynthia's x attack

[boreal rose]

Also should i fight them the same rounds i did?

[swift swan]

but you still need to use Cynthia's TM and get at least 1 MP Refresh to max her crit since Hilbert can't give crit until 3/5

[boreal rose]

Huh

Why?

[swift swan]

R1 and R3 already look good, but with Flint, you're better off using a physical attacker than Ash because he has Wise Entry x2 (either focus on Olivia only or offtype with a strong physical damage dealer). Flint will also hit harder in R2 but at least you can take advantage of the round parameter as well

[boreal rose]

[swift swan]

Hilbert's In This Together! has critical squad 2 on grid, but it's a 3/5 tile. so he can't give Cynthia critical hit rate if he's only 1/5. You need max crit on Cynthia, but her TM can only raise it up to +2. so you need a TM refresh so you can get +3 critical hit rate on cynthia

[boreal rose]

I wanna use Candice in the Bertha fith

Im losing

Also Bertha is physical right?

[formal vigil]

yeah bertha uses physical moves

[swift swan]

completely physical, yes

[swift swan]

you can, but you gotta rely on her nuke only since her DPS is shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Duaw3ZfEDBc&ab_channel=AurochsAway oh here's auroch's clear with both Ghetsis and Candice

didn't know it's even possible because those two's speed is generally bad

[boreal rose]

I use Skyla for Flying weak

I mean

Candices grid helps

The

Umm

Gla

..

Glalia?

No

The tech one has a thing thst makes the grid go faster during hail

Idk abt rhe other

Oh wait

Meant striker

Or did i?

Idk anymore

Oh

Yes

I meant tech

[frigid iron]

Maybe the ghetsis is boosted with the mgr9. Thats pretty good

[boreal rose]

@swift swan im sorry for ping but should i do SSEthan, Blue and Falkner for Fkying weak?

I could use Skyla on bertha then

[frigid iron]

No need for blue, swap for a tank

Ss ethan is enough

[boreal rose]

Skyla is a tank

[formal vigil]

which blue

[frigid iron]

You said blue, falkner and ss ethan

[boreal rose]

Oh

Im not used to Falkner

[frigid iron]

If you want to use skyla elsewhere, you can use a diff tank

[boreal rose]

I forgot

[frigid iron]

Not a big deal

[boreal rose]

Idk eho

[swift swan]

aurochs never uses the EX and powerboost for legendary adventures units as far as I know, to make it as accessible as possible

[frigid iron]

Xerneas is a good tank

Are you using it anywhere

[boreal rose]

Im planning on leaving him for Cynthia

[swift swan]

I just watched the clear. Candice was running around critless and only gets sure crit on sync via Hail Follow Through 9

[boreal rose]

Cuz i dotn think the team i used will be enough

[frigid iron]

Show your supports?

[boreal rose]

Cuz yeah. Sonia gets the speed for guage

But after potion

[swift swan]

nah, summer marnie is a beast

[swift swan]

sonia also gives teamwide speed after being hit

[boreal rose]

@frigid iron

[frigid iron]

Aaron is an amazing tank

[boreal rose]

Who

[frigid iron]

Sw misty is decent too

[frigid iron]

Aaron and vespiquen. Bug queen bee

[boreal rose]

Ohh

[frigid iron]

Also dont use fly with falkner. Messes up your sync countdown

[boreal rose]

Why?

Ik it counts as one move

[frigid iron]

It counts as one move but it takes two turns to execute

So you will have to spend 6 turns to get -3 countdown

Compared to 3 turs

Turns

So its just a mess. Just use air slash unless you know that the battle is going to be over before the next sync

[swift swan]

meanwhile, Zinfogel using a triple Fly team

but yeah, two-turn moves are clunky to use

[frigid iron]

They cant beat you if you are not there to be beaten

[steel kelp]

Sync move

[frigid iron]

We dont do that here

[boreal rose]

What

[frigid iron]

Ignore it. Complicated stuff. Just dont use fly

[swift swan]

basically, don't use Fly

[boreal rose]

Im not using Candice

She kidna sucks

[tribal agate]

not very accurate statement https://i.imgur.com/EAC51fE.png
but you can still use Ghetsis

[boreal rose]

I am accurate

Also

I got rid of Melony and not none of then did damage

[swift swan]

or you're just not using her correctly

[boreal rose]

Idk

I dont use x speed cuz skyla maxes it

[swift swan]

honestly Aurochs's use of Candice and Ghetsis without some crit buffer help was interesting and I'm really impressed at how they pulled it off

[swift swan]

it just helps if your gauge isn't enough for ice punch yet

[boreal rose]

Which i didnt need

I even was able to quadqueue

But the damage was smal

[formal vigil]

did you have hail up?

[toxic cobalt]

Candice has a grid node that gives sure crit the next attack after hail.

[swift swan]

yeah, I saw that and went

I never considered using candice that way

[manic mica]

Can I have help with Cynthia now? I just beat Aaron

[toxic cobalt]

What types do you need?

[manic mica]

Oh I don’t care about the medal, I just wanna beat it

[toxic cobalt]

Ah. Then what physical strikers do you have?

[boreal rose]

Yep

[toxic cobalt]

And does Mina have a sync grid?

[swift swan]

how small

and did it crit?

[boreal rose]

Idk

But it was well

Not a lot

[manic mica]

Should I share my roster?

[toxic cobalt]

Sure!

[manic mica]

I sorted by 5 star and physical moves

[frigid iron]

Dont sort by physical moves

Just share your techs and strikers

[toxic cobalt]

It’s wise entry

[toxic cobalt]

Any of these gridded?

[frigid iron]

Yes but just want to make sure not to miss someone who has physical move but special sync

This just sorts by physical sync

[manic mica]

Karen and Lusamine have some of their sync grid

[frigid iron]

Share your techs too

A lot of techs are good damage dealerd

[frigid iron]

Anyway is ss morty still available

[manic mica]

Who’s that?

[frigid iron]

I might have just confused you with another person

My bad

[manic mica]

You’re good

[frigid iron]

You dont have a lot of options

You'll have to go with Mina I suppose

Alternatively, you can try running field effects parameter and ss erika with good supports

[manic mica]

I get that a lot 😭

[frigid iron]

Do you have lyra and meganium

[manic mica]

Lemme look

Looks like no

[frigid iron]

Aw shame. She's a grass support so do look carefully. You can also use johto tickets if you have any and try to get her.

Anyway, send your supports. Im sure ss erika will do well with good partners

[swift swan]

Can you share your move queue maybe

Like, your move sequence up until first sync

[manic mica]

Didn’t include the 3 stars

[boreal rose]

Il do it in a bit cuz i have to do something real quick

[frigid iron]

Hmm, I hope you have misty available? You can try Misty, SS Erika, Skyla

I cant see the move level of your skyla but i hope she is 3/5

First target skyla, second misty, third ss erika

Let me know misty and skyla's move levels

[manic mica]

I do have misty availablr

Not leveled, but available

And also no my skyla is only 1/5

[swift swan]

3* candies should come quickly enough

[boreal rose]

Ok so it was: Skyla TM → Candice TM → Ghetsis TM → Skyla TM → Candice Hail → Ghetsis TM

Il try to recrewte it

[manic mica]

So this is what you’re suggesting?

[frigid iron]

It is

Wait not ss elesa

Use ss erika and leafeon

Grass type tevh

Tech

[swift swan]

If you're following Aurochs's clear, then you should get Hail: Follow Through 9 on grid and only use Hail right before you want to sync, so you keep the Sure Crit for sync

[manic mica]

Ohhh okay sorry

[frigid iron]

Make sure to use field effects parameter. Use sunny day with erika as soon as you enter, and use her tm twice.
With misty, use x sp def all twice and then use misty's tm on skyla.
With skyla, use her TM and use potion on her when needed

If this doesnt work, try swapping skyla with phoebe

You basically want the best tanking pair

Always sync with ss erika

Needless to say, keep using solar blade with erika. Due to the field effect parameter, sun will be permanent so you are lucky there

[boreal rose]

Oh. I used a grid i thought is good

[swift swan]

Anyways, gotta go to sleep now. Good luck to everyone trying to clear! Sinnoh is not easy so don't be too hard on yourselves

[swift swan]

In that team, Follow Through is important

[frigid iron]

Gotta go to sleep too

Later everyone

[manic mica]

I honestly didn’t do bad at all during my first try! Lemme work out the kinks and I think I can beat it

Thanks so much

[frigid iron]

No problem

Will be much easier if you have any 3* candies to use on skyla

Potion stuff at 3/5 will make her very good

[manic mica]

How do you get those candies?

[boreal rose]

5*?

You dont really get them. You get candy coins

[manic mica]

No the 3* ones

[frigid iron]

By doing events

The ultimate battle which is not really hard to beat

Im not sure if any of the current one give 3* support candy

You can check

3* candies are given by part 1 so dont worry about part 2 having one

[long thicket]

I'm not sure what's best between pre-sync and post-sync.

Going for 2k doesn't really make a difference between the two to me.

Maybe I should drop the lack of status conditions and/or critical protection.

[full mesa]

You don't run crit shield if you don't poison stall.

Also post sync is a safer deal most of the time than pre sync.

No status is ok if you aren't going to use them. Free points.

[peak stirrup]

What is Clear Power Up 5?
What’s a good third with SS Wally and Diantha?

[main crow]

Power up the user's move when the weather is clear
A special support, would be great if said support also have speed buff

[onyx ice]

Unless you run defog

[peak stirrup]

Elio? He’s gauge heavy though
Roxanne also buffs Sp Atk and speed

[main crow]

Is this hard mode btw?

[peak stirrup]

2K

[main crow]

Ah

[onyx ice]

I think 3/5 SS Brendan is the best ally of SS wally

[peak stirrup]

Don’t have

[main crow]

Show us your support list perhaps?

[onyx ice]

Plus won't fit much with diantha i guess

[main crow]

Everyone not just special support only

[onyx ice]

Against Cynthia, maybe Lillie to offset the accuracy drop (or any accuracy support)

[peak stirrup]

Plus Swellow, Yamper, Persian

[onyx ice]

However for Cynthia i would use physical if possible (even if i used Clefairy as main DPS)

But SS Brendan is a pretty op special support, that offsets wise entry x2

[main crow]

Yeah the stage wants you to use a physical fairy

[onyx ice]

Without SS Brendan i would rely on physical

Mina is a decent option i guess

[fringe valve]

Does bertha not have alot of hp?

Seems way easier compared to the rest

[onyx ice]

Yes Bertha has standard stats

If you remove sand she's like a non Sinnoh CS

[fringe valve]

Oh ok

[peak stirrup]

Might have to post sync Cynthia
Lot of AoE attacks made my team an easy oneshot on her sync

[onyx ice]

Probably to offset the fact that ice is probably the weakest type atm

[onyx ice]

Cynthia may be annoying without the right units

Fairy is one of those hit or miss types

Non limited fairy options are quite poor, but limited ones are pretty good

[peak stirrup]

I have both Gardevoirs so I have some

[onyx ice]

I guess the wally Gardevoir is what really fairy needs

Terrain + rebuff is a strong combo

[boreal rose]

My Candice did 2k with i believe crit

[onyx ice]

Candice Nuke is pretty solid, but her DPS is quite bad

[main crow]

Perhaps Kiawe?

[zealous karma]

Was she gridded and was it on type?

[main crow]

He has +1 crit, spatk, speed boost chance, gauge accel and potions

[onyx ice]

I find bp Candice pretty solid in Dual DPS hail team

[zealous karma]

Or did you pick a bunch of strength and def tiles

[onyx ice]

I think i used Hala + 6ex Hilbert (og) + Candice (BP)

[boreal rose]

Yes and yes

R1 Bertha 2k

[boreal rose]

I beg to differ

Not abt her DPS

[zealous karma]

Candice nuking 2K even without a crit doesn’t sound right

My candice has nuked like 9K without crits

[boreal rose]

It crits when the numbers appear big?

Not liek big numbers like 10k or something

[onyx ice]

Maybe not top tier, but she has access to 6ex tech, good multipliers, and a chance to get se up by herself

[boreal rose]

Just like. Big

[onyx ice]

Attack stat isn't the bestest but if you can land a SE Up next sync she should one shot the mid if 6ex

[boreal rose]

Also im unable to quadqueue

Idk why

[zealous karma]

She’s the second best ice nuke in the game

[boreal rose]

I am clicking quickly

Who is first

[zealous karma]

She was the best one until SSN

[boreal rose]

Other thsn N?

[zealous karma]

This doesn’t mean pull for SSN

Hala maybe?

[onyx ice]

However not a big fan of sync nukes in CS (unless AOE) because without support ex buff it's hard to one shot sides before they start AOE

Ssn can be a fun unit but is too costly

1/5 is garbage

[zealous karma]

No one wanting to be paired alongside him also makes him very unfortunate

[onyx ice]

5/5 is fun but super costly and not even OP

[boreal rose]

WHY DOES BERTHA USE THE MOVES SO QUICKLY

Im slowly going insane ngl

Il try the other Candice. Maybe thst will help a bit

[zealous karma]

LoL

[zealous karma]

The other one is worse

[bright furnace]

I thought you had EX Candice

[boreal rose]

Nope

Why did you think so?

Or is it not to me

[boreal rose]

Thst is prerty much whaf is happening to me

[onyx ice]

Depends on teamcomp

[boreal rose]

Ghetsis, Candice, Skyla

For me

[bright furnace]

Nah I was talking to Richu there

[onyx ice]

Didn't used og Hilbert with Candice and Hala but 6ex Glacia now that i remember

[zealous karma]

I don’t lel

[boreal rose]

i used the other candice

Now i was abke to quadqueue

This game officially hates me

[zealous karma]

I hate when the games audio die

S

[zealous karma]

I know who my next ex is

[boreal rose]

You were able to quadqueue werent you?

But like fr. Is the CS Always so quick?

Im only able to sync once with Skyla

[zealous karma]

I was and I also got a cold snap prock lel

[boreal rose]

Cold snap prock?

Whats that

[zealous karma]

Ghetsus grid

Or freezes the enemies

30% chance

[boreal rose]

I dont think i have it

Also this game is gonna make me genuingly go insane

[zealous karma]

It’s not on his grid expansion

[boreal rose]

Oh

I do not have it

[boreal rose]

What gird should i use?

*grid

[boreal rose]

Im unavke to quadqueue

Ngl but i am unable to use hail before the 2nd sync

Idk when to use it

I just dont

[zealous karma]

That would make sense as to why she’s not doing damage that’s her base multiplier

[boreal rose]

Well how is she supposed to do it

Cuz idk how to use the hail at the right moment

And i eas able to quadqueue

Im uninstalling this game

Im done

[main crow]

Hail at the start and after her first sync

[boreal rose]

But thats not enough

Cuz first sync is Skyla so after Candice's first sync it would not work

Cuz she has 4 moves that buff total so it will not be enough

[zealous karma]

I recorded a clear for you

https://streamable.com/e58y2t

[boreal rose]

It did 8k

8 firicking k

Im done

[boreal rose]

Damn your phone is smooth

No way im able to do that

Also that is round 2

So it doesnt really help me

[zealous karma]

It works on any round

[zealous karma]

How so its very simple?

It’s just following what I did

And the order in which I queued moves does matter

[boreal rose]

To an experienced player yes

I am unable to do that

So it doesnt work on any round. The Hail stays forever during r2

Well

Forever until bertha uses Sandstorm

[zealous karma]

This doesn’t make sense to me

[zealous karma]

No it doesn’t?

[boreal rose]

Yes?

R2 is the umm.

[zealous karma]

That’s round 3

[boreal rose]

Oh

What is r2?

[zealous karma]

That hail definitely ran out

[boreal rose]

Ohm physical moves

[zealous karma]

But it works on any round

Especially if hail can stay infinitenly

[boreal rose]

I genuingly doubt ir can be done at any round

[zealous karma]

How did you even know it was round 2 it doesn’t say that anywhere lel

[boreal rose]

Nostly with not invested sync oairs

[zealous karma]

Can’t tell if you’re overexagettinf it not being able to work on any round kr not

[boreal rose]

Idk

Maybe my pessimism

Idk how to write it

[zealous karma]

I’ll do it on round 4 if you like because that param does nothing for this team

[boreal rose]

Dont

Ik you will be able to do it

I mean

Do what you want ig

But i wont be able to beat it either way

I dont have anyone like SSN or Holiday Leon. Im unable to do it

And i domt think i have a typing that could off type it

Cuz im using Ash on rock weak

Il try to use Dojo Gloria

And May....and im writing kike this again onn accident

[zealous karma]

The game is the same for everyone you do know that right?

[boreal rose]

Ok

Ik it isnt

Ur phones smoothness tells me that

[zealous karma]

I’m not sure if you’re being serious but, my game is only smooth because it’s on a more recent phone if the game is choppy it could be the hardware I can do it on my older phone if you’d like me too?

[boreal rose]

My phone is a more recent phone too

Well

Its like a year old ig

[zealous karma]

If it s an android device the game isn’t well optimized on them

[bright furnace]

Yeah it looks smoother on the apple devices

[boreal rose]

Huh

Why

Thats stupid

[zealous karma]

https://streamable.com/k2q1x5

[boreal rose]

Finally

[zealous karma]

You got it!

[boreal rose]

How are Dojo Gloria's Def stats so good?

Tho now im even more scared abt fighting Cynthia

She was easy on Hard mode and kinda easy at 850

Mu dumbahh fkrgot Flint is using fire types and brought Rosa

Also Ash does nothing

[zealous karma]

Wise entry moment

[boreal rose]

Wise entry?

[zealous karma]

Doubles the enemies special defense

[boreal rose]

Also he did damage earlier

[zealous karma]

There’s a large difference between 850 and 2K lel

[boreal rose]

Really?

Il try this

Il lose

But still

Worth a try i think

[zealous karma]

I wouldn’t bring sun to flints fight

It increases his damage greatly

[boreal rose]

Oh yesh

Im an idiot

[zealous karma]

Do you have a 2/5 Olivia?

[boreal rose]

Then i might as well give up

I think 4/5. Edit. Yep. 4/5

[zealous karma]

Oh that’s amazing

[boreal rose]

Not EX tho

[zealous karma]

I did it with 2/5 non Ex Olivia so 3/5+ is just amazing

[boreal rose]

Also i have this grid

[candid juniper]

It can still deal damage though

[zealous karma]

Acerola Olivia not sure who’s a good third

I think anyone who makes her buffing time faster

[candid juniper]

What stage are you on?

[boreal rose]

2

[zealous karma]

I used Faitlin

[boreal rose]

Flint

[zealous karma]

But there’s def better alternatives

[boreal rose]

I didnt get faitlin

[zealous karma]

Do you have 1/5 hilbert?

[boreal rose]

Yes

Not EX

[zealous karma]

Or maybe 1/5 Sonia will work better

[boreal rose]

Hmm

[zealous karma]

I’m not sure who to pair with her lel

Maybe BPclemont if he’s not week@to fire

[boreal rose]

I used her for cynthia originally

On 850 and hard mode to be exact

But now i think i will use Morty there

[zealous karma]

That could work

Because Olivia does buff her own Spd and crit and just needs the Atk buffs

[long thicket]

So, I'm gonna use Maxie, possibly Evelyn for defense buff. Then I need a way to lower Aaron's defense because he's way too tanky.

I replaced stat reduction with Max HP2.

[boreal rose]

Her def abd so def tho (if im right)

Ok. Just sp def

[boreal rose]

Olivia dies to overheat

And it was going so good

21k to mid

If only i invested in Olivis and not SSHilda

[zealous karma]

Why is she tannking

[boreal rose]

What

Oh

Not overheat

Sorry

Heat wace

[zealous karma]

Heatwave?

[boreal rose]

Yea

[zealous karma]

Do you have Bertha

[boreal rose]

No

[zealous karma]

Oh kk

[boreal rose]

Ehy?

Idk if she is rock or ground so here are my rock and ground sync pairs

[candid juniper]

Olivia is definitely your best bet

Unless you want to try offtype

[boreal rose]

HELL NO

I have no good physical sync pairs

That dont need sun

[tribal agate]

btw Apple are you sure you're correctly triple queuing?

[boreal rose]

Yes

Why?

[tribal agate]

proper gameplay goes a long way in success and most times i figure that's what people struggle with

seeing your team, especially since you aren't doing 2k, i see no reason why it would fail

[boreal rose]

I am doing 2k

[tribal agate]

ok but still i don't see much reasons it would fail, you're against Flint right?

[boreal rose]

Yeah

[tribal agate]

do you have time to sync twice before Flint does?

[boreal rose]

Yes i did

Somehow

I even defeated him

Only had left side left

[tribal agate]

but sides killed you?

[boreal rose]

Yes

Wait no

Bith sides left

I died to heatwave and then Earthquake was done

[tribal agate]

i see

Acerola has her flinch tile right? (aggravation)

[zealous karma]

https://streamable.com/raxi9t

[tribal agate]

flinching sides should be ok although it's a bit of rng, still 60%

[boreal rose]

Idk honestly

[zealous karma]

You only need to flinch the Houndoom

[boreal rose]

But since she is 1/5 i think i put it

So astonish the left?

[zealous karma]

Ye

[zealous karma]

Here’s the video of what I did

I put a gridless sonia

[tribal agate]

ah nice Richu to get some footage done

much clearer for sure

[zealous karma]

My Olivia is also 2/5 so yours being 3/5 helps ensure the kill ok Flint better than 2/5

[tribal agate]

yeah as i expected make sure Acerola has Flinch aggravation and you'll just need a slight bit of luck on the sides

[zealous karma]

I didn’t worry about the torkoal

[boreal rose]

im unabke to quadqueue idk why

[tribal agate]

what round are you doing Flint

[boreal rose]

Idk cuz the move guage boost didnt end

2

[tribal agate]

wait
