Champion Stadium

[main crow]

SSA Cynthia/Bea/atk+crit support

Once she gets her buddy move you have the gauge accel effect permanently with it

[verbal karma]

...wait, I was suggested a Speed support, though

[last palm]

👀i dont see gauge issue

[verbal karma]

so is it an Atk+Crit support or a Speed support?

I am a bit confussle

[last palm]

you should add def debuff as 3 unit tho 👀

[main crow]

SSA Cynthia only provides defensive buffs, her crit is locked behind 3/5 and with gauge accel speed wouldn't be much of an issue tbh

[last palm]

3/5 Bea?

[verbal karma]

wait, gauge accel? but you previously said "field effect"

so should I pick "field effect" or "gauge accel"?

[main crow]

Gauge accel counts as field effect

[sinful brook]

Field effect. The gauge accel supplied by SSA Cynthia's buddy move is a field effect.

[verbal karma]

oh yeah, true

I forgot

[mellow linden]

You have 3/5 Hilbert available?

[void wyvern]

Hello gamers

[main crow]

Oh yeah Hilbert makes for an amazing support in that composition

SSACynthia/Bea/Hilbert with permanent field effect

[verbal karma]

alright, Master Mode finally unlocked!

[main crow]

Ay nice that's where the pain fun truly begins!

[verbal karma]

also have 155 champion spirits in total...hmm...who to EX first?

[void wyvern]

Whoever makes you happy.

[verbal karma]

hmmmmmmmm...hold on, gotta look something up

hmmmmmmmmmm...SS Elesa seems to be like a strong contender so far...

[void wyvern]

SS Elesa is a good choice

[full mesa]

I used SSACynthia/Bea/Kukui for leer. No speed support. Bea didn't land a single attack and still dealt 33k on mid and 40k on the sides under fighting zone and 2x sync buff with her sync.

Also with permafield you have perma zone and permanent MGA from buddy move.

And leer does extra work if we take into consideration R5 field effect.

[verbal karma]

I ended up going with SSACynthia/Bea/Maylene

[potent wadi]

What stages have Sentry/Wise Entry x2?

[void wyvern]

Dark is sentry entry, steel is sentry entry, ice is wise entry,

[manic mica]

Cannot beat ronald McDonald's with this team round 2

[tribal agate]

that team should stomp it

idk what to say tbh

are you using the right grid for Kris?

[main crow]

Rain would help but seems kinda redundant with CRed Super effective up

Prob Hilbert

[zealous karma]

Instead of Skyla you can run masked Royal if you have him

I was able to to sync with SSKris Masked Royal Kris

On round 2

[main crow]

He fills her multiplier criteria fast

[manic mica]

Yeah that's what im using

[tribal agate]

well ig they want that Inertia asap but otherwise Rain would be a solution

although with the grid

Kris gets +6 speed in 2 turns

so MR is useless

[zealous karma]

I don’t like running Spd fleet

Also def debuffs 🦦

[tribal agate]

even at 3k you do rain + redlax her sync and mega kick oneshots the entire thing

genuinely

she has inertia, haymaker, sp5

that's nuclear level

[manic mica]

So i replace skyla ?

[tribal agate]

yeah put a winona or whatever

[zealous karma]

Def

[main crow]

Absolutely

[tribal agate]

you need +6 speed and at least +4 atk if you wanna do it first sync
bear in mind redlax can +2 atk with max knuckle too

with enough TM refresh luck on him you can do redlax sync into kris sync

[zealous karma]

If they had SSKris it would make this a lot easier 🐴

Then again she did nothing but provide rain for me and be flash

Y

[tribal agate]

well SS Kris wouldn't bring much

she buffs special, redlax already maxes crit

[zealous karma]

I used the crit from her TM 🦑

[manic mica]

Tried with a rain setter

She only does 11k

[tribal agate]

that's genuinely not possible

sec

[main crow]

Did she even crit?

[tribal agate]

did you use this

also

[manic mica]

Yes

[tribal agate]

use X Atk > TM > TM for guaranteed crit

this is the expected damage range https://i.imgur.com/mDWy5X9.png

with that team and those parameters, and i didn't max Haymaker

[zealous karma]

I also had kris doing low numbers

With sync

But I still pre synced

Like the calc says she should be 20K first sync

But I did like 17K

[tribal agate]

you might not be using the parameters i posted above

[manic mica]

She did more damage but still not enough

[zealous karma]

I used strength 12 and have my damage calcs for them 🦦

[manic mica]

18k

[tribal agate]

yeah i use STR 8 lol no wonder

you have Crit Strike 2 lucky skill right?

[zealous karma]

Well@I run ww3

[manic mica]

Yeah

[zealous karma]

But that’s because favs get spoiled 🦑

[tribal agate]

another thing you can try out

remove your rain setter

use Nanu

Screech thrice

it should amp the dmg by 7-8k

[zealous karma]

Fudge

[tribal agate]

replace the no stat reduction by STR 1 btw for that to work

[zealous karma]

I used mr for water

Now I have no one for dark

Pepega hours

Does non Ex Sidney work for this

lel

[tribal agate]

if 3/5 yeah

[zealous karma]

Ye it’s 3/5 🦑

[tribal agate]

Sidney is a beast

[zealous karma]

Hilbert hilbert Sidney?

[mint cedar]

1/5 ex summer n with dark zone does pretty well

[zealous karma]

I don’t have N i lel

Dang he beats wise entry at 1/5 that’s impressive

Is Ex support or sidney sync better?

[tribal agate]

both are fine but ex support is always nice if you can quad queue

Sidney really only gets dmg from his sync move

[zealous karma]

Dang I couldn’t get side denial with support Ex no insult to injury sadge

[tribal agate]

whether you do it twice or nuke once shouldn't be too much a diff for middle

[manic mica]

Yeah he always survive by a little

[tribal agate]

so close

couldn't quad queue a mega kick?

[manic mica]

That was after the mega kick

[tribal agate]

was it buffed by red's seup or nah

[manic mica]

I belive yes

[tribal agate]

hmm

well last case scenario is show me your water pairs

[zealous karma]

Rain might be better

[tribal agate]

nah it's not i checked on calc

[zealous karma]

Than -6 def

O

[tribal agate]

since Kris and Redlax are mostly abusing TMs

you can use a third to deal that dmg

[zealous karma]

I’m not at all familiar with this unit ugh

[tribal agate]

with -6 def : https://i.imgur.com/thkEXb9.png
with rain : https://i.imgur.com/469XqJD.png

[manic mica]

What im doing is
X atk -> x2 kris tm -> red tm and nanu screch

[tribal agate]

yeah that's fine

if you have a self sufficient pair as third that can use gauge for damage

it might be better

since again Kris and Redlax are really just spamming TM

so they ain't using gauge

or you can keep retrying with the Nanu strat

[zealous karma]

This is annoying

[tribal agate]

if you get a better dmg range you might luck it out

[zealous karma]

Why is hilbert samurott doing more damage than on type sidney

[manic mica]

these are my water type

[zealous karma]

May might be able to one shot center mon

With accuracy debuffs

[tribal agate]

that or rather if you ain't using Hilbert in your next rounds

just use Hilbert to ramp Kris up

she gets to use Mega Kick twice pre-sync

[manic mica]

With hilber i do his TM right ?

[tribal agate]

TM > Kick > Kick > Sync

yeah

TM > TM > X Speed

[zealous karma]

Can elesa pre sync Aaron…

[tribal agate]

no

oh

[zealous karma]

dies

[tribal agate]

yeah she can with EX support and terrain ofc

[manic mica]

i should have done Aaron last smh pikachu soloed him

I'll try with hilbert thanks for the help

[tribal agate]

good luck

[zealous karma]

This discord bug is frustrating

Can this do it (I wish I could use terrain)

[main crow]

Technically you can but you gotta need a lot of effort

[tribal agate]

no cElesa?

[manic mica]

Thank you

[tribal agate]

GG

[zealous karma]

I’m impatiently waiting on that rerun

Have to close discord so my screenshots can come up is so irritating discord plz fix your app

[tribal agate]

discord moment

[zealous karma]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a unit live 1K damage before that’s funny lel

Oh dear y me

[tribal agate]

frankly remove that SS Elesa she' snot doing crap there

you need terrain

[zealous karma]

Maybe I should be running DPS CElesa

[zealous karma]

Theme clears hate me!

[tribal agate]

terrain is a big 1.5x for total dmg

[zealous karma]

If only I had CElesa

My issues would be fixed

Aaron just did 5K to sonia what a bully

[void wyvern]

With attack order?

[zealous karma]

Ye

[void wyvern]

[zealous karma]

Maybe I shouldn’t run pre sync params on an almost guaranteed post sync fight

I beataarkn

Aaron

I’m so died

What’s Cynthia weak too I oh

Omg thisll be easy

Copium

[void wyvern]

Oak being weak to bug is incredibly infuriating

[mellow linden]

Trying to use him as Electric damage-dealer against Aaron?

[peak stirrup]

Who should I pair with 5/5 EX Karen for Round 4 Lucian?
No SS Cyrus.
Also have 2/5 M. Royal and 1/5 Sidney

[mellow linden]

Do you have Nessa and have you used her already if so?

[winged scaffold]

2 full odds sings and an Ice Beam Freeze and I still couldn't beat him

I think this is the best rng I'm getting so I need to change up the team

heavily considering offtyping

gonna try Lodge Elesa, Skyla and Sydney now

[peak stirrup]

I do have her, actually.

[peak stirrup]

I can use Hilbert to max her attack and give support EX.
Only rain setters left are Winona and TechToise

[mellow linden]

Hop still available?

Hop + Masked Royal + Nessa is a common recommendation for Dark weak stages. Masked Royal Syncs, Nessa spams Jaw Lock

Hilbert could probably work instead of Hop if need be

[peak stirrup]

MR spams Brutal Swing or Lariat?

[mellow linden]

Brutal Swing since his regular move damage doesn’t matter. You’ll also wanna use his Trainer Move twice at the start of the fight for the teamwide Speed buff

[gaunt sentinel]

Any good characters to pair with a 2/5 SS Erika for Bertha? Been playing since SS Steven on this account so poke fairs and general since then on the table I guess

[winged scaffold]

I used Hop for defense buffs. That might work

Though you might want someone that can buff speed

[mellow linden]

Would likely need to see your roster to give good advice on that front. Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[gaunt sentinel]

Master mode

[mellow linden]

Yeah, ideally would like to see your roster then

[gaunt sentinel]

Only Pokefairs worth noting since I’m going to use the others on other levels are Maxie and SSA Cynthia

[mellow linden]

Those 2 are actually Master Fairs, btw

[gaunt sentinel]

1/5 and 3/5 EX respectively

Yeah master fairs

[mellow linden]

Could try Skyla + Blaine as teammates, I guess. Is Skyla EX?

[gaunt sentinel]

No

[mellow linden]

Ah. Might be worth a try anyways, if it doesn’t work we can figure something else out

[gaunt sentinel]

I could maybe off type with SS Steven

He’s 1/5 EX

[mellow linden]

Actually, what round is this?

[gaunt sentinel]

Haven’t started yet

[mellow linden]

Ah

[gaunt sentinel]

So 1

Just gonna upload 5 star box rq

[mellow linden]

Might be best, yeah

[mellow linden]

If you have the spare Champion Spirits you should definitely EX Rosa, 20/20 is free for her (also evolve her Snivy).

Anyway, I guess you could try Falkner + Blaine or Maxie for teammates if you don’t need Falkner elsewhere

[gaunt sentinel]

Aight

[mellow linden]

An alternative could be Aaron instead of Falkner, likewise if you don’t need him elsewhere

[gaunt sentinel]

just gave up with it and did SS Steven with Faulkner and SS Elesa

breathtaking mp refresh luck

[mellow linden]

If it works it works

[versed ginkgo]

Yooo I need some help with teams :)) can I send screenshots of my box :))

Any help will be amazing no cap I’m just tryna be decent in the game xDD

Should I just send my 5* plus?

[trail smelt]

Yeah be sure to sort it by number of stars

Are you trying to do just hard more? Type medal? Or Master Mode?

[versed ginkgo]

Normal mode xDD

Can’t even do that

These are my units :))

[trail smelt]

I see, there are some key units you have that you should invest in such as SS Hilbert and SSHilda

Check the pins, they list the gimmicks each fight has, such as Aaron’s massive defenses and Bertha’s reliance on sandstorm

[mellow linden]

As in Kanto?

[trail smelt]

Oh snap right

Normal is Kanto haha

[toxic cobalt]

Hve tou done the tutorial?

[void wyvern]

Does Aaron always have to do heal order?

[trail smelt]

You can flinch him out of it haha

[versed ginkgo]

It’s this I need to complete

[mellow linden]

You can flinch/Sleep him and it’ll stop him from using it apparently

[trail smelt]

Oh then yes that’s hard mode

[mellow linden]

That’s Hard Mode

For reference

[versed ginkgo]

Oh I thought hard and master are the same

My bad

[toxic cobalt]

They are

Well same stages

[mellow linden]

Anyway, a team built around SS Hilbert for Aaron, Sidney for Lucian, Nessa or Kris for Flint, SS Lyra for Bertha, and Korrina for Cynthia should work. If you need help figuring out the specifics we can do that

[versed ginkgo]

I’m literally a big noob I’ll see what teams I can make I’ll make then and send and see what you guys think

My water team?

[mellow linden]

1. Supports are redundant, you don’t need to make the team monotype and Hilbert does almost nothing for that team.

2. Flint will lower your Sp. Atk., so you may want to try Kris + Feraligatr or Nessa instead

[versed ginkgo]

Grass?

Oh I see

[mellow linden]

Once again, don’t need to be monotype teams. In fact for Hard Mode CS you want to avoid it since you want to fill out the type medal

SS Lyra + a tank + a filler Sync Pair can murderize Bertha very easily

[versed ginkgo]

Hmm what tanks are good I can see why I always fail these now xD

[mellow linden]

Most Supports are good tanks

[toxic cobalt]

Ones that raise def and/or spdef usually a good indicator

[trail smelt]

Most supports are built to take hits

Oh right I should explain why Type Medals are important to get as soon as possible

Once you manage to use 1 of each type to clear CS, you get the medal which unlocks Master Mode, which gives even more rewards for more difficulty

Now because this is Sinnoh’s last week, unfortunately you can’t unlock it this week

[versed ginkgo]

I’m stuck already xD

[mellow linden]

Could try Hilbert + Gladion + Winona for Flint, actually

3 types, good team synergy

[versed ginkgo]

Which Pokémon are they? I’m so confused

[trail smelt]

But don’t worry, the game remembers which types you’ve beat that region’s stadium with

[versed ginkgo]

XD so sorry

[trail smelt]

Hilbert is Samurott

Gladion is uh

Type Null?

[mellow linden]

Hilbert is Samurott, Winona is Pelipper, Gladion is Silvally

[trail smelt]

I forgot it’s actual name

Oh right Silvally LMAO

[mellow linden]

Yes, Winona is a 3-star. No, that does not mean she’s bad

[versed ginkgo]

This?

[trail smelt]

Yes

[mellow linden]

Yeah, just make sure to use the Tactics menu so that Hilbert is the 1st target (and obviously level up your pairs to 120)

[versed ginkgo]

I have no books or sync orbs :(((

[trail smelt]

Gladion’s TM allows him to change his move‘a typing to the enemy’s weakness

Ohh

[versed ginkgo]

So sadgeee

[mellow linden]

Have you been doing the daily orb stage?

[versed ginkgo]

At least I know what teams to level up

Just did it now

[mellow linden]

Also, go use your stamina on events. If you haven’t gotten Ghetsis’ EX/Power Boost already then go do The Captured King for his EX and Team Plasma’s Icy Malice for his Power Boost

[toxic cobalt]

What supports are levelled up?

[versed ginkgo]

I did it :))

Supports I’ll show you one sec

These are the ones lvled idk if they any good

:((

[mellow linden]

Better to do that from the move level menu, for future reference

Got a lot of good Supports there, so that’s nice

[versed ginkgo]

Oh sorry

Like this?

[mellow linden]

Yeah

[versed ginkgo]

I see

[mellow linden]

Can’t see all of them, but given your roster thus far I feel safe assuming you have 3/5 Marley, so I’ll throw out a recommendation of leveling her at some point (though it sounds like you’ll be spending a lot of time on Sync Grids if you’re currently sitting at 900 orbs)

[versed ginkgo]

Ohh let me send more supports

One sec

[toxic cobalt]

You can see in pins the attack types. Generally only the middle is that important, you can match phys/spe tanks to the relevant stages

[versed ginkgo]

That’s the rest

[mellow linden]

Yeah, there she is

Also, level Hop and Sycamore at some point too, they’re insanely good Supports

[versed ginkgo]

Oh I will for sure

[mellow linden]

Dang, 3/5 Aaron

Also an amazing Support

You’ve got so many good Supports, so that’s good

[versed ginkgo]

Marley is the arcanine right

[mellow linden]

Yep

[toxic cobalt]

Sycamore -> Hop -> Aaron -> Mistyduck -> Dawn/Marley/Misty

[trail smelt]

Yes

[versed ginkgo]

I rerolled for all master sync pairs Lugia celebi and suicine

Took so long XD

[mellow linden]

Sabrina is a good Support to level too, part of the comp I affectionately refer to as Psychic Squad™️ and its variants

[versed ginkgo]

And I’m still so bad at the game

[toxic cobalt]

Also stopping at lv120 is recommended

[versed ginkgo]

Is there a fav sync pair feature

[mellow linden]

A quick question that could potentially lead to a huge boost in success rate: do you know how to triple queue?

[versed ginkgo]

So I know those units are the ones I need

[toxic cobalt]

I love it honestly

[versed ginkgo]

No I do not know what triple queue is I keep searching for YouTube guides on the game and they are just so bad :((

[toxic cobalt]

There’s the #1010307000346878062

[mellow linden]

So, when you’re in a fight, how many of your team members are acting before the enemy gets an action?

[toxic cobalt]

Hmmm not really sadly

[versed ginkgo]

Oh 3 I do one by one from left to right normally and heavy hitter last

Stats first

[mellow linden]

As long as all 3 of your team members are acting before every enemy action, that’s triple queueing

[versed ginkgo]

Oh I see that’s what it’s called

Thanks yeah I do that XD so I’m good at the game po

Lol

No fav sync pairs is so sad

I just have to remember what are good pairs and need levelling

I just normally use this

And hope I win

XDD

[trail smelt]

Haha SS Johtrio

Classic

Unfortunately you need 5 different teams

For Stadium

[versed ginkgo]

Yeah that’s why I’m struggling I’m so bad at making teams

:((

Thanks for the help tho appreciate it as :))

[mellow linden]

You can split those 3 up to have 3 really good teams, actually.

• SS Kris + Water type damage-dealer + either another Water type damage-dealer or a Support if necessary (like if you need someone to buff a physical damage-dealer’s Attack).

• SS Lyra + a tank + either another Support or a Grass type damage-dealer.

• SS Ethan + a Support to handle his offensive buffs + Winona

Are example teams for each of them

[frail grove]

Hello, so I’ve been trying to get my first 10k in CS. For the life of me I cant get more than 8.3k. My water dark and grass team can’t seem to win before the opponent’s 2nd sync. I choose the common parameters from the tips page and change them slightly when I need to lower stats for dark team for example.

My question. Can these teams beat CS 10k? Or am I lacking in supporting units/tanks? Or damage?

[toxic cobalt]

1. pick striker
2. get striker to +3 crit and +6 atk/spatk
3. Profit

[versed ginkgo]

Hahahahhaha big stonks

[toxic cobalt]

Wait what do you mean opponents second sync?

[mellow linden]

So for your Water and Dark teams, Flint and Lucian discourage Sync Pairs that use Sp. Atk., so try using Sync Pairs of that type that use Attack instead

[frail grove]

All units are 1/5 since im new

[mellow linden]

Also yeah, wdym 2nd Sync

[versed ginkgo]

Oooo ok let me make some teams and see

[mellow linden]

They should barely be getting past their 1st Sync at most

[frail grove]

The opponents 2nd sync. Like the 2nd time they sync

[mellow linden]

Alright, then lemme ask a question very quickly: are you triple queueing?

[frail grove]

Yes

I saw what u were mentioning earlier

[toxic cobalt]

Have you read the #1010307000346878062 on triple queueing?

Damn cobalt is too fast

[mellow linden]

Do you have reduced Sync countdown parameters turned on in your point parameters?

[frail grove]

Yes

[mellow linden]

There it is

Turn those off

[trail smelt]

Oof

Half sync really requires planning haha

[mellow linden]

You want to avoid reduced Sync countdown point parameters like the plague

[void wyvern]

I finally beat stupid Aaron with stupid professor oak. Heal order is overrated

[trail smelt]

Hey congrats

[frail grove]

Interesting

[trail smelt]

Aaron is the most hated of Sinnoh haha

[frail grove]

I try it out thanks for the tip cobalt

I’ll*

[void wyvern]

Cobalt is out here carrying everyone.

[mellow linden]

The 1st question to ask when people mention 2nd enemy Sync on Master Mode is about triple queueing.

The 2nd is about Sync Countdown parameters

[void wyvern]

[toxic cobalt]

Hey now, oak is cool stuff

[rigid flint]

Facts

Oak is goated

[versed ginkgo]

Hmmm who should be the hird

Third*

[trail smelt]

GrimSSley appreciates physical buffers

Because lord knows his TM is hecka dangerous haha

[mellow linden]

Someone to buff Attack. This is actually a case where Hilbert would help

[rigid flint]

Uh honestly I don't think ss kris is the best for that

[mellow linden]

While you’ll likely wanna run something different for Champion Stadium, Archie + SS Kris + Skyla would be a good Water team

[rigid flint]

Is this for offtyping?

[toxic cobalt]

Remember to use tactics to adjust positioning

[mellow linden]

Could replace Liza with BP Morty, but other than that it’s a solid team

[versed ginkgo]

Archie the master pair one

[mellow linden]

I gave some example teams earlier for the SS Johtrio

[rigid flint]

Ah

[versed ginkgo]

Doneeee

[mellow linden]

Yeah. I don’t recommend him for Flint this week, but he does work very well for most other Water weak stages

[rigid flint]

If you do have Hilbert

[toxic cobalt]

Goated team

[mellow linden]

That’s the thing about this game, there’s a lot of different types of stages, so you need to experiment with your teams a bit and adjust them as needed

[rigid flint]

I'd recommend something like Hilbert, SS Grimsley and Winona

[mellow linden]

Nessa or Kris instead of SS Grimsley would also work if you like one of them more

The nice thing about physical damage-dealers is that there’s like 5 variants of the same basic Attack + Crit kit when it comes to Supports

[versed ginkgo]

These are the teams I think would be good thoughts :))

Grass I have no clue

[rigid flint]

Do you have brendan?

Or ss erika?

Or selene?

[mellow linden]

Overall good starts, Grimsley and Karen don’t have synergy though

[versed ginkgo]

This brenden

[mellow linden]

Yep, him

[rigid flint]

Also for electric, I'd say to use Hau since Aaron is physically bulky

Unless u have some other special electric strikers like Ash

[mellow linden]

Could slap Skyla on there as the 3rd teammate to act as a tank and provide Speed buffs

[versed ginkgo]

These are my dark units

[rigid flint]

Fr when in doubt use Skyla as a tank

[mellow linden]

For Aaron I actually recommended an SS Hilbert team earlier, but they have a lot of Sync Pairs to level rn

[rigid flint]

Ooh yeah SS Hilbert def works

[mellow linden]

Sidney + Nessa + Hop/Hilbert/Aaron would work for a Dark team, especially against Lucian this week

[versed ginkgo]

Yeah I have way too many to lvl up

This is hurting my head

XD

Too many trainers

[mellow linden]

No need to rush, it’ll take a while to gather the necessary leveling materials anyways

[rigid flint]

Does Grimsley have a sync nuke? I'm not entirely sure

[mellow linden]

Just make sure to stop at 120 until you’ve got everyone there when you do level up folks

[mellow linden]

Not that I’m aware of, and even if he did Sidney is right there

[versed ginkgo]

This

For dark

:))

[last palm]

might need to change parameter

[rigid flint]

That could work

Might have some slight gauge issues

[mellow linden]

Yeah, that’s an option (Hilbert also works if you’re not using him elsewhere), and as always make sure to use the Tactics menu to change the opponents’ 1st target to the team’s tank (Hop in this case)

[versed ginkgo]

These are the teams so far

Would sycamore be good for grass?

[mellow linden]

For general stuff those are decent starts. For Champion Stadium adjustments will likely need to happen, but we can cross those bridges when we get there

[last palm]

Just use maley for speed buff a bit :v

[rigid flint]

Swap Skyla out in the electric team

[mellow linden]

He’d be solid to pair with SS Lyra, but he’s far from the only option

[rigid flint]

Skyla could be used with the grass team

[versed ginkgo]

I see see.

[rigid flint]

Better to use a crit and atk buffer for the electric team

[versed ginkgo]

Soo many adjustmentssss

Hahahahha

[rigid flint]

Yeahh it's a lot to take in at once

But you'll slowly get used to it

[mellow linden]

For the general Electric team swap Skyla for Hilbert/Hop/Aaron. For a team specifically to take on Aaron in Champion Stadium this week, try SS Hilbert (the one with Genesect) + Volkner + a Sp. Atk. and/or crit buffer (Sabrina is a good choice)

[last palm]

Your team will slowly powercreep CS when you have enough ex ...

the end of strategy

[versed ginkgo]

Bruh I need exp and ex mats asap man this looks so much fun and it feels like I’m just missing out

:((

Updated

[mellow linden]

It’s ok if you can’t do much this week, there’s a lot of leveling you have to do to get 5 full teams.

Something you could do is take the Sync Pairs you’ve leveled and make 5 teams with 1 Striker/Tech as the damage-dealer, 1 Support that buffs what they need, and then either a 2nd Support if one is needed or a random filler Sync Pair if one isn’t needed. Ideally someone who uses Attack for Lucian and Flint, someone who uses Sp. Atk. for Aaron, someone to change the weather for Bertha, and a Support that buffs accuracy for Cynthia.

Then just try and take the best shot you can at clearing. You can update your teams with some suggestions we’ve given if need be as you level more Sync Pairs

[rigid flint]

I won't lie, starting off new and heading into Sinnoh is not the most fun since it's tough and your pairs aren't all levelled up fully

[versed ginkgo]

I think I can do water and flying

[mellow linden]

Sinnoh is a rough CS to start during, yeah

[versed ginkgo]

The rest tho

Damn

Darkness will be the worst

[mellow linden]

You don’t necessarily have to match the type weakness of the stage

Since it’s Hard Mode it’ll be a little easier

[violet timber]

sinnoh is arguably tied hardest with Hoenn

[rigid flint]

Oh wait is this Kanto

[mellow linden]

No, they’re doing Sinnoh Hard Mode

[rigid flint]

Oh right right

So they're using the flying team to offtype I assume

[mellow linden]

I would guess so

[violet timber]

I think he should be using it on Aaron right?

[rigid flint]

That'd make sense

[versed ginkgo]

Sheeesh water done

Yeah it probs an off type as my dark team is trash

[rigid flint]

Ah

[violet timber]

Idk why I was about to say “is using SS kris and normal kris together a really good combo” then I realised SS kris buffs special attack

[rigid flint]

Lmao

[trail smelt]

It’s not too bad actually

KriSS provides Crit and and rain

[toxic cobalt]

Rain is rain

[trail smelt]

Yep

And brand spanking new Kris’s grid helps alleviates her reliance on other supports

[mellow linden]

I did Kris + SS Kris + Nita and stomped Flint today

[toxic cobalt]

OP team you’ll never get a long streak like that

[trail smelt]

No kill like overkill

Also I was a dumbass and forgot to get rid of the no debuff parameter LMAO

[mellow linden]

It happens

[sly imp]

Hello, any tips on tanking cynthia

I'm trying my first 10k MM atm and she's the only one left. I tried with impervious sycamore but he still goes down pretty fast. Should i move someone over from other teams for this? Here's what I've used and the rest of my roster, thanks in advance

[mellow linden]

What parameters are you using, 1st off?

Also that’s only 1 page of your roster. Kinda need to see the rest (ideally from the Move Level menu)

[sly imp]

Alright, I'll screenshot them hold on

[mellow linden]

Would be way easier if you still had SSA Cynthia available (for future reference, I do not recommend using her alongside SST Red or Ash in Champion Stadium, at least not when there’s a Fighting weak stage), but oh well, we can almost certainly figure out a comp that works

[sly imp]

Here are my roster atm

And I was using

[trail smelt]

Oh hey SSMorty is there

[sly imp]

And the normal parameters from the pins

[trail smelt]

The undying himself lol

[mellow linden]

If you wanna on-type then Bea + Hilbert + Misty could work

[mellow linden]

Pre-Sync or post-Sync?

Regardless, a good off-type option would be Evelyn + SS Hilda + Blaine

[sly imp]

Should I remove Cynthia on flint ? I tried to on type Flint using Archie but the sp. atk debuffs makes kyogre cry 😆

[mellow linden]

Wait, have you not beaten Flint already?

[sly imp]

I'm not sure if my Bea is ready

I did, but using the team above

[mellow linden]

Any tank would work alongside SST Red

[sly imp]

SSTRed SSA cynthia and Volkner

[mellow linden]

SSA Cynthia is a bit of a waste on an SST Red team in CS

[sly imp]

I'll try to reset and save Cynthia then, I'll also try the other comps and see if they work thanks a lot

[mellow linden]

If you’d like I can go over improvements to the other teams for future reference

[simple storm]

Save cynthia for cynthia

[sly imp]

Ohhh that'll be coool How else should I improve them?

Now that I'm looking at it, I think I may have overkill some of the teams there

[trail smelt]

Because CS demands 5 teams, you want to split your OP units

[sly imp]

because I initially thought SSHilda can just blast through Cynthia 😆 But I didn't realize I can't tank it anymore

the Tri - attack hits a lot harder than I thought

[mellow linden]

Alrighty, HERE WE GOOOOO!

• Lucian team: I’m gonna start here because Holy Excess Attack Buffs, Batman! You can definitely do without Sonia and Fall Caitlin on Sidney’s team. It doesn’t seem like you have Nessa or Masked Royal, unfortunately, unless they’re way down below in your roster, so it may not be a bad idea to off-type with SS Hilda + Blaine + Evelyn here.

• Aaron: Not a massive amount to say here other than Hop isn’t very necessary. You could switch him to Aaron or BP Morty for Defense and Sp. Def. buffs (and could switch Kris + Jolteon and Volkner around if you want).

• Bertha: SS Erika + SS Morty + Lyra is an easy one.

• Flint: can do SST Red/SS Blue/Volkner, Kris + Jolteon, or Misty here and should be fine.

• Cynthia: Bea + SSA Cynthia + Hilbert. Should be easy enough since Bea’s Meteor Assault does hilarious damage.

Actually, wait, with the above teams Sonia wouldn’t have been used yet, so could use her or Hilbert on the Cynthia team

[sly imp]

Will Bea do alright even without ex? I'm not sure if she can burst it down enough

[steel kelp]

Yes

Meteor assault hits like a truck

[mellow linden]

Her Meteor Assault is hilariously strong under Fighting Zone and SSA Cynthia boosts the team’s bulk through the roof, so yeah

[steel kelp]

You’ll be one or two shotting everything especially with fighting zone

[sly imp]

I see, I was contemplating whether to use her or not before 🤣

[steel kelp]

Bea and SSA Cynthia is easy fighting stage clear

[trail smelt]

EXless Bea is unironically one of SSAynthia’s best teammates

[mellow linden]

The biggest worry will be accuracy debuffs being annoying, but you can have Hilbert act as the tank if need be to mitigate that (assuming SSA Cynthia doesn’t have Impervious at 2/5)

[steel kelp]

Lillie exists

If accuracy is that much of problem

[sly imp]

Oh I don't have Lillie too

[steel kelp]

And can also buff bea attack

Oh

[mellow linden]

Since 2/5 Bea and 2/5 SSA Cynthia it’s ideal to have the extra +1 crit from the 3rd teammate anyways

[trail smelt]

Haha I’ve had Lillie and Bea in the sweet tooth event

Fun duo

[steel kelp]

Oh yours is 2/5

Thought she was 3/5

[sly imp]

Sadly I didn't pull on that banner coz I tried pulling for SShilbert 😆

[steel kelp]

What banner

[sly imp]

Oh nevermind I thout there was a Lillie Bea banner

🤣

[steel kelp]

Nah they’re gen pool

[keen jasper]

Ok, so.... Sidney destroys R2 Lucian

Without EX

[void wyvern]

Sidney appreciation??

[trail smelt]

Yep haha

Dude nukes HARD

And he sets up his own damn multipliers

[keen jasper]

I don't even need to use EX support

Also, I had half HP and half healing params too

[frigid iron]

He did 89k sync for me

[keen jasper]

What params, how many sync buffs and how many Def. drops?

And what round?

[frigid iron]

1 support ex sync, no defense drops, pre sync parameters, I dont remember round let me check

Round 4

What parameter is that

These were my teams

[void wyvern]

Move accel

Ss Cyrus my beloved

[frigid iron]

Ss cyrus rocks

[winged scaffold]

Fiiiiiiinally

[keen jasper]

Nice lol

[winged scaffold]

I don't know who was harder Cynthia or Lucian

both of them required a f-ck ton of rng

and experimenting

[keen jasper]

Damn, Thunderbolt Red just destroyed Aaron's sides while I'm setting up Ash's damage

[frigid iron]

Fun to kill the bee

[keen jasper]

Well, I damage capped Aaron, but I also wanted the sides to be included

Oh yeah, Thunderbolt Red only had +2 Atk.

[keen jasper]

So yeah, Ash did 88k with his B Thunderbolt against Aaron with max HP, strength and defensive params and it literally left him with a tiniest HP remaining

[zealous karma]

Hilarious

[swift swan]

Electric-weak Aaron really fell off huh

[steel kelp]

Ash and SST red are happy accidents

[swift swan]

Back in my day, I only had the non-EX Alolan rat

[last palm]

new electric unit make him outdate

[keen jasper]

I sync nuked Aaron with Ash, but failed to kill him and he did Heal Order restoring him to full

But Ash did his B Thunderbolt and it literally was like less than 1% HP remaining for Aaron

[last palm]

i chose max atk and aaron cant even kill ash

With no def/spe def

[keen jasper]

No damage guard?

[last palm]

👀oh yeah damage guard

I thought it only cut half

[steel kelp]

Nope nullify

[zealous karma]

For syncs it cuts in half

[keen jasper]

Ash has 3 endures, 2 endures from passive and 1 damage guard, 4 if you're also counting Trainer Sync Redemption

[toxic cobalt]

Still works!

[swift swan]

He sure does

[keen jasper]

Assuming you have the right support for him

[toxic cobalt]

I have so many Scotties

[trail smelt]

I still shudder when remembering what an RNG nightmare forcing Elesa past Aaron was

Volkner, Elesa, BP Surge

Very not ideal LMAO

[toxic cobalt]

Really? Terrain and flinch should make that not too hard

[trail smelt]

RMG hates me remember

[keen jasper]

I think I off-typed Aaron with Zerena

[zealous karma]

No support Ex

[last palm]

👀i mean it is not that hard if you play on Hp parameter tho

[trail smelt]

I need to keep Aaron flinched EVERY TIME

[toxic cobalt]

That’s why I used Ramos this week

[trail smelt]

And Volkner keeps failing to do so thenAaron wipes

[sly imp]

They worked finally!!!! I had accuracy problems for bea, her moves kept missing so i had to change her lucky skill to acuity. Thanks a lot for the help guys. This is my first 10k run

[toxic cobalt]

Sorry not Ramos but a sleepy

[zealous karma]

Don’t forget #1010274591601598555 exists

[toxic cobalt]

Well done and good work splitting up your Op pairs. Be sure to post on stage clears as Richu mentions

[sly imp]

Oh sorry I'll keep it mind next time

[zealous karma]

It okay 🦑

[keen jasper]

Has anyone attempted to use a physical steel DD against steel-weak Glacia?

[toxic cobalt]

Most people I suspect

[keen jasper]

I guess it's time to put Raihan's expanded grid to use here

As I said last time

[trail smelt]

I did lol

Like MOST everybody

[keen jasper]

I just off-typed her with SS Ethan

[swift swan]

Tip for that Cynthia team next time: Cynthia only debuffs accuracy on entry once. The rest comes from Discombobulate 4 + Ripple Effect 9, which only works if your tank gets debuffed. So how to negate this? Tank with a unit with Impervious (SSA Cynthia at 3/5, or Hilbert innate). If your tank's accuracy doesn't get debuffed, your other teammates won't get debuffed either

[toxic cobalt]

It’s literally Raihan and magnemite otherwise isn’t it?

[swift swan]

Mirror Shot LuSSa

[trail smelt]

I lacked Steel zone so I relied heavily on flinch steel team lol

Yeah just those 3 iirc

[rigid flint]

Ono glacia has sentry entry??

[trail smelt]

Yeap

[rigid flint]

[trail smelt]

Honestly

[rigid flint]

Welp

[trail smelt]

If my steel team ain’t working

I’ll just unleash Ash

[rigid flint]

Time to bust out Ash

LMAO same thought

[swift swan]

Time to bust out zerena

[keen jasper]

Also, water-weak Steven is literally the perfect demonstration for Champion Calem and Serena because Steven can debuff your team with RE9 and has Towering Force multiplier

[trail smelt]

I like to imagine Towering Force is them T-posing you as they sync

[rigid flint]

Oh wait I didn't do the medal for hoenn cs

[trail smelt]

Oh you need to do all 18 types or just a few left

[rigid flint]

All 18 lul

Phew that means I get to miss out on steel weak glacia

What a relief

[keen jasper]

You literally didn't do Hoenn CS back in August?

[trail smelt]

Lucky bastard lol

[rigid flint]

Nope

Took a break from the game then

[swift swan]

I forgot what water weak steven was all about

[rigid flint]

And was also too scared lmao

[keen jasper]

I think DeNA did that on purpose

[swift swan]

I only remember poison-weak wallace where you had to status him so you can crit

[rigid flint]

I was like ayo man why they gotta make csmm like that

[swift swan]

And grass-weak steven who was so bulky with psychic terrain

[rigid flint]

Oh steven and his claydol

[keen jasper]

Also, IIRC Hoenn CS is the very first CS to use non-weather fields

[toxic cobalt]

Good luck

[rigid flint]

A menace to society

[toxic cobalt]

That’s a post sync

[swift swan]

I'm just gonna offtype like any sane person

[toxic cobalt]

Fair

[keen jasper]

Sidney has dark zone and you either need defog or SC Ingo to replace it otherwise his sync will hurt a fuckton

[rigid flint]

Gosh

[swift swan]

Oooh yeah

[rigid flint]

That don't sound fun

[swift swan]

Bug-weak sidney

It was hell

[rigid flint]

Does he use dark zone before sync

[swift swan]

Seriously, don't try to postsync sidney ever

[trail smelt]

… ah nuts

[keen jasper]

Well, it should be no problem if you have SC Emmet and/or Ingo

[swift swan]

Iirc right before sync. I could be wrong tho

[trail smelt]

My bug monotype gonna be hell

[rigid flint]

Ah

[toxic cobalt]

Just Don’t post sync ever

[keen jasper]

Or if you have the new SS Hilbert now

[rigid flint]

Me who post syncs a lot

[keen jasper]

Or do him on the half sync CD param

[trail smelt]

Use post sync and presync anyway

[rigid flint]

Ah sc emmet will carry me for bug weak

Rising tide go crazy

[toxic cobalt]

That’s crazy

And that’s coming from me

[swift swan]

My team lol

[keen jasper]

Ice-weak Drake, just like dragon-weak Cynthia except he can infinitely reapply sandstorm with his sync

[rigid flint]

I post sync as in like 1 turn after they sync

Because my quad queueing aint consistent all the time

Lately it's been better tho

[keen jasper]

Dragon-weak Drake has Clear passives, easily solved with the gradual regen param

Fire-weak Glacia's Eiscue is annoying with that Ice Face

Being forced to use special fire DDs just to ignore Ice Face passive

[swift swan]

Glacia was bulky af

[zealous karma]

I off typed like 80% of hoenn

[keen jasper]

Also, Glacia with Precision Pals and spamming Blizzard

[rigid flint]

Oh come on why is there so much weather on entry

Time to suffer for fire weak what fun

:)

[keen jasper]

And also bug-weak Sidney

[zealous karma]

No silver for fire?

[keen jasper]

Also, Healthy Advantage electric-weak Phoebe

My favorite (:

[swift swan]

Ice-weak drake with wise entry x2 ew

[keen jasper]

Haha, Holiday Leon go brrrr

[rigid flint]

Oh right yes silver

I've used Hilda too much

I forgot Silver existed

[keen jasper]

But Silver will lose the multipliers before he syncs because Glacia will use Hail before her sync

[swift swan]

No more evasion gimmicks from the fighting-weak stages!

[rigid flint]

The problem is my only sun setters are blaine and ss erika

[swift swan]

Haha, piercing blows go brrr

[rigid flint]

And silver through sync

[zealous karma]

Blaine works for sun

I tried using SSEirika for sun recently didn’t like it

[keen jasper]

You got Silver's expanded grid and EX right?

[zealous karma]

To gauge heavy

[swift swan]

I mean, it will rerun soon

[rigid flint]

Sweats

I missed out on it

[zealous karma]

I thought you were an older player hexxa

[keen jasper]

Don't worry, it's like novemberninth said

Jotho VA event will rerun

[swift swan]

Whaaat. SS Erika is a great unit to dual strike with

[rigid flint]

I was but I take a lot of breaks

[zealous karma]

I was using ssbrendan and Serena and was relying on sleep chaining for gauge

Ah

[keen jasper]

Yeah, I dual strike SS Erika and Silver together against grass-weak Bertha this week

[swift swan]

Ah

[rigid flint]

Exams and stuff were very heavy this year so I didn't play as much as I wanted to

Luckily now high school is over

No more high school for the rest of my life

[keen jasper]

Yeah, and you'll have to deal with college next

[rigid flint]

Cries

At least there's hopefully more time

Also for Silver I do run an Overheat build

Does that work

[keen jasper]

If you have his expanded grid and EX, you want to run sync nuke

[rigid flint]

Ah right, I'll have to use that once I get it then

[keen jasper]

His sync nuke is one of the absolute best for a F2P unit

[toxic cobalt]

Silver can use either physical or special dps

[rigid flint]

Solar Flare 14 moment

[toxic cobalt]

Special needs dauntless so less accessible

[rigid flint]

And Inertia too

[swift swan]

Damage cap moment

[keen jasper]

And also SEUN

[toxic cobalt]

Hey well done on high school though

[rigid flint]

Ty ty

[full mesa]

I need to change silver from Dauntless to WW3.

[rigid flint]

True true

[keen jasper]

Farm those lucky cookies

[rigid flint]

Super Command 9 on his tm

Man

[full mesa]

Can't. The highest I reach is 15. I'm betting everything to 1* deluxe.

[toxic cobalt]

Silver also works unexpanded

[keen jasper]

And he has self buffs on his TM now, Berserker and Ramped Up

[toxic cobalt]

Reach higher

[keen jasper]

Yeah, but it's kinda meh

[toxic cobalt]

You haven’t even seen Meh

[full mesa]

Wow, how did I have not think about this?

You're a lifesaver

[keen jasper]

Just do as much LG streaks as you can

[toxic cobalt]

Got me a helper role and everything

If you can get some auto teams you can just run LG on auto until you have enough cookies

[keen jasper]

Do we really not have a fire unit that on-demand AoE debuffs defense?

[full mesa]

I know. If not now, then at the next one. Anyway a tip for those who use Bea against Cynthia. Don't focus on ACC. Bring an Ex support that can keep her alive and something to leer the opponents. Even without fighting zone you can fish for a hit or two and then deal 25-28k on sync.

[toxic cobalt]

How many types have that?

[keen jasper]

Well, we have Kukui, SST Red, Colress, who else?

[toxic cobalt]

Tech Farfetch’d is my top rec for this. Leer and flinch.

Don’t even need to quadqueue.

[full mesa]

You don't need to bother with flinch if you can quadqueue. Just leer. -5/6 at best.

[rigid flint]

Wally works quite well for Cynthia

[full mesa]

Mine dealt 33k on mid -5 with zone and 2x sync buff.

[trail smelt]

Accuracy buff pays off lol

[rigid flint]

Fr

[swift swan]

I'm just gonna wait for the day the guaranteed lucky cookie is ww3

[toxic cobalt]

Imagine getting a Good guaranteed lucky cookie

[swift swan]

Only in LG1 and never since then

[manic mica]

is supreme entry cope

probably

[main crow]

I mean hey healthy healing is pretty nice

For bulky supports at least

[full mesa]

Only 3? I have like 10 units I want to give them ww3...

[swift swan]

Well I'll need to make sacrifices

[trail smelt]

I’m not changing Silver’s lucky skill from Dauntless

I like using both Overheat and Sacred Fire

[swift swan]

Lucky skill presets when

[toxic cobalt]

My life would transform

Glares at vigilance Ghetsis

[swift swan]

Why the hell do you have Vigilance Ghetsis

I say, with my Status Immunity SS Leaf

[toxic cobalt]

Colress EBE

[void wyvern]

I still haven’t taken dragon guard off my Roxane from zinnia’s Ebe

[dark osprey]

is it actually worth using telekinesis Thorton for accuracy debuffs?

[trail smelt]

Against?

[keen jasper]

Cynthia

[trail smelt]

Entirely depends on the team but I’d say you’re probably better off putting in Lillie or relying on nukes

[dark osprey]

ah. yeah i guess. just though of trying him out since that's a very rare thing

lillie should be better I guess. 0 gauge

and nuke

[toxic cobalt]

Try him out and fish for flinches

[dark osprey]

yeah. did that. was ok i guess

had zone so. it was just that he was there on the team

[full mesa]

SSLyra/Karen/??? For next week? I'm using the sync nuke build from #1009587872342478908.

[dark osprey]

CCalem

[swift swan]

ss cyrus

[keen jasper]

So yeah, I finally did max HP, defense and strength params Aaron using Ash, I didn't even let him use Heal Order because of Leaf's Staggering Tackle

[trail smelt]

Funnily enough, Sydney actually helps Karen

Brutal swing AoE confuses which triggers one of Karen’s multipliers

[dark osprey]

yeah. was thinking of sidney, SS Cyrus & Karen but Karen needs those 2 dire hits & one TM then to setup

so no snarling

[full mesa]

You can snarl rounds 4-6 for -6 spa with satisfying snarl 9. What can I use if I don't have SSCyrus?

[dark osprey]

ah. then u'r missing out on the nuke & dark pulse dps

if no SS Cyrus, can still go for a support I guess

someone who can cause status

[full mesa]

Honestly, I have no idea how to grid her. She isn't ex so probably I'll need Dark Pulse DPS instead of sync nuke.

[dark osprey]

the sync nuke is unfortunately not an option

because she has to sync

and her grid expansion is there for that specifically

can still get the dark pulse multipliers with the sync multipliers as well

[full mesa]

You have to sync in order to get dark pulse as a move tho.

[dark osprey]

yes. so u have to go for the sync multipliers and dark pulse as well. she has a reasonably friendly grid

[full mesa]

I see. Is the one at #1009587872342478908 ok-ish? I really suck at building those myself. Also if I can't make her work, I'll probably off-type.

[dark osprey]

hehe. i guess the grids were updated when she got the expansion. its good

with SS Lyra on team, honestly its just going to be very simple

the idea would be snarling before sync so that the overpower nuke does some damage. no need to max it. can put in any +1 or so crit buffer at the minimum

[full mesa]

SSLyra/Karen/Misty. That's what I'm thinking

[dark osprey]

regular Misty?

[full mesa]

Yes. Spdef up

Or elio

[dark osprey]

ah. u wouldn't need much defenses tbh with SS Lyra flinching everyone

rather get a minimum +1 crit buffer

[full mesa]

I need speed. Flinch is 3bar. Maybe Marley

[dark osprey]

ah. ok. for SS Lyra the regular order I go is TM on Karen, TM on the other mon & then flinch with grassy glide. that should get u one whole turn ahead of the enemy if u quadqueue a dire hit all after her flinch

next round of turns, need to squeeze grassy terrain

[full mesa]

Yeah. I usually run her with Skyla + Damage dealer.

[dark osprey]

and just before it expires again grassy terrain so that SS Lyra is gaugeless

however, u r right in getting marley since Karen needs some speed too weirdly

and the +1 crit on entry is perfect with SS Lyra

[full mesa]

Karen spends 2 turns buffing herself and then snarl. Also I'm thinking Skyla/Hop/SCEmmet for Sidney. Or Kukui/Hop/SCEmmet.

-4 Def and then sync with SCEmmet while I have SEUN from TM. Won't kill but it'll afterwards.

[dark osprey]

u could take half HP parameter so that Karen's one TM will give her like +5 sp attack.

for the SCEmmet team I guess it should work. I usually use EX support sync followed by a SEUN & phy move up next megahorn. either ways he does get the job done. Skyla may not be needed due to the gauge accel from Emmett

[bleak eagle]

So is there any order to fight this e4 in?

Havent done it in a week or 2

[main crow]

Nothing in particular, you can do R2 (half sync) if you feel confident the team you have can do a full set up in that short period

[dark osprey]

can check out the #1009554906568462476 thread and #1010274591601598555 for the orders that most have used

similar team as well

[bleak eagle]

I keep forgetting threads are a thing, thank you both

[dark osprey]

lol sry my bad. forgot we were in the #1009554906568462476 thread

personally went Flint R1, Bertha R2, Aaron R3, Lucian R4

[swift swan]

#1011173305702690876 message
Lucian, Aaron, Bertha, Flint for me

[trail smelt]

I had Aaron for half sync round, AND let him sync on me lol

[full mesa]

I did too.

Then Ash took revenge

[dark osprey]

ah. y let that aaron sync. i thought the whole idea was to take revenge on him

sst red wasn't enough on his own for me though. maybe since he's 1/5

[swift swan]

same

I thought SST Red's max move would be enough to OHKO Aaron but I guess not, so unfortunately he got to sync

would've been able to OHKO if I had used his sync instead, but I synced with an EX support

[dark osprey]

ah same here

finally synced with EX support, synced with Hau & kept Red's Max move after those two buffs

was a bit excessive i guess

[swift swan]

Aaron deserves it

[zealous karma]

Need to try hau

For electric

[trail smelt]

Good luck

[swift swan]

he's pretty satisfactory

[dark osprey]

Jolteon 1/5 or 5* Hau?

[boreal rose]

Is 1/5 Ash able to solo 2k aaron?

Non EX

[mellow linden]

I doubt he can solo, but you can probably just slap 2 bulky Supports you're not using elsewhere on the team and be fine

Though having Volkner or another source of Electric Terrain would be ideal

[boreal rose]

I dont own Volkner

[toxic cobalt]

Just get a tank and Acerola

Easy peasy

[boreal rose]

Shy acerola?

[mellow linden]

Wdym “shy Acerola”

Oh, you mean why Acerola

Acerola would be there for flinch

That’s really all

[keen jasper]

Damn, SS Erika almost damage capped one of Bertha's sides with her sync nuke without EX

[mellow linden]

She’s really strong, yeah

[full mesa]

I had to like an anime protagonist. I had to make him believe that he could hurt me while I was just letting him do it. To prove my superiority.

[swift swan]

watch me have an emotional flashback while I wait for my gauge to recharge to 6 before unleashing a slow-motion, epic B Thunderbolt, with 1 2 3 playing in the background

[dark osprey]

Lol. Aaron still brings out the best comic material in this channel

[swift swan]

as he should

this meme isn't as relevant anymore, sadly

but I still have it. safekeeping. just in case.

[dark osprey]

Yeah. Memories

[full mesa]

Good, good. Now make him cry even harder.

[oblique wave]

I still had some minor issues with Aaron going for 2k on him, even with Red (1/5), but maybe I was just hitting the wrong parameters.

[mellow linden]

Well SST Red does physical damage, so minor issues aren’t unexpected

[dark osprey]

Yeah. Hope you nuked with the special max move

[oblique wave]

I ended up adding CElesa to do special sync damage/max move damage (originally planned to use her on Flint because good form/rising tide, but didn’t need to).

[dark osprey]

Ah. That sounds fun

[manic mica]

Can I have help with Aaron? Nothing I’m trying is working

[dark osprey]

2k mm?

[manic mica]

No

Hard mode

[mellow linden]

What team(s) have you tried?

[manic mica]

I’ve just tried my different supports with Hau and Raichu cause I don’t have any other special attackers

[dark osprey]

Hau and Raichu should be decent enough at minimum 2/5 move level gridded with inertia for hard mode

Physical support preferably since sync is such

[sand karma]

Help the sides are getting one shot in round 2 with this team
I'm using post sync parameters with power on hit 1 instead of no stat reduction

[dark osprey]

Can try rushing the stage with offensive paramaters but may not be comfortable with that

Else better to get a special support

Are you syncing first with ss blue?

[sand karma]

Yes

[dark osprey]

And are able to survive the sync?

[sand karma]

My dumass did Aaron round 1 with Ash
Can I reset halfway through?

[keen jasper]

Did you know that Flint has Discourage?

[dark osprey]

Yes

[sand karma]

This is with his sync first only they didn't survive

[sand karma]

I saw

[keen jasper]

Do you have Kris or SS Grimsley?

[sand karma]

Lol no

[keen jasper]

Replace SS Hilbert for a Sp. Atk. buffer

Blue is very slow to buff Sp. Atk.

[dark osprey]

Could try with Cyrus instead of ss hilbert

[sand karma]

Gauge

[keen jasper]

May should be fine

[manic mica]

Would this work?

I really have no clue how teambuilding works yet

[dark osprey]

For hard yes

[keen jasper]

Candy your Hau to 3/5

[manic mica]

I don’t have candy

I don’t know how to get them

[sand karma]

I tried 2k with Hau built his 3/5 and grid and all but he was pretty weak for Aaron

[dark osprey]

He does need some help especially because of that heal order

3* and 4* candies of different roles are obtained in the event shops

[manic mica]

Maybe there’s an issue cause there aren’t any in my shops

[toxic cobalt]

Well given that stamina youre clearly not doing events

[mellow linden]

Candies from the Unova Villain Events are in the Battle Challenges, iirc

Ghetsis + Skyla + Rosa can handle those

[boreal rose]

Who to use for r1 Aaron?

I did thr same mistake again. I sent the last pic even tho its uneeded

2k btw

[sand karma]

I did it ez pez with Sonia, Volkner and Ash post sync

[boreal rose]

Im leaving Sonia for later and i do not have Volkner

Marnie does litterally nothing to Aaron

[manic kiln]

having ash is already a free win, you can try ash with lucian to debuff sp def, and a support, ss elesa is good. just use ash's buddy move after aaron heal order, before that you can try to kill the sides first. sp atk units are preferred for this, at 1/5 marnie won't do much and she's a physical

or use an ex support, should make thing even easier. but seeing you don't really have that many ex support

[simple storm]

Ash

[boreal rose]

He cant solo

[simple storm]

U want to solo?

[boreal rose]

No

I wanted to

But i was told he cant do it

At 1/5

[manic kiln]

at 1/5 he won't yes

[violet timber]

I know SST Red demolishes Aaron even with volt tackle only, but does starting off with the special atk version max move help?

[simple storm]

No why would u do that

U have a physical max move

[simple storm]

Nah he cant but aaron is especially difficult to solo cuz he has the stupid heal order

[river pagoda]

any steel spatkers??? i dont have any on me and aparently steel-weak glacia has sentry entry x2

[simple storm]

Raihan

[river pagoda]

😔 dont have many limiteds

[simple storm]

Lower their defense then

Kukui does that

[river pagoda]

kukui + sc grimsley + tank then ig

does tht sound fine

[simple storm]

Yea

Doesnt sound too bad

[river pagoda]

aii ty

[simple storm]

Hop is a good tank

Also grid kukui for flinch if u can

[river pagoda]

alr will yeah

was gonna use someone aside from hop

cuz spdef

glacia fully special

[simple storm]

Spdef?

[river pagoda]

w sides too

[simple storm]

Ohh

[river pagoda]

idk

ill change based on how much dmg they deal

im only doing 4.2k mm clear so

[simple storm]

Solgaleo is an option too if grimsley is bad

[river pagoda]

ya

[simple storm]

4.2 u shouldent worry too much

[river pagoda]

i like using grimsley so i might force with him

ya

[simple storm]

Then yeah grims has full off buffs

Try to bring a support ex
