Her Sync after Support EX and under Electric Terrain should be able to KO center no problem even without Max Move being used on center

Classic Elesa is basically irreplaceable by a single Sync Pair. Closest option would be Champ Serena or SS Lyra in debuff potential, but no one else offers the debuff/Paralysis/Electric Terrain combo that she does
If I had N I'd do testing myself
mellow linden
Outside of a paid select during anniversary, no
Fortunately she's not required for anything
steel kelp
Dena holds back on the weirdest things
mellow linden
But unfortunately she's too unique to replace entirely
steel kelp
But they’ll rerun SS red or SS blue like every 2 months 
long thicket
Same issue took place.
Maybe I should try to replace the "healing down" rule.
Lost to the sides that way.
mellow linden
Could replace that and whatever you picked to replace No Status Conditions with Gradual Healing
long thicket
I shouldn't attack the sides first either, um...
mellow linden
Could throw Classic Elesa's Max Move and/or 1 or 2 Bolt Strikes at one of the sides
Her Sync should be able to dispatch Phoebe fairly easily
deft bluff
Has anyone tried 2v3 wallace? 1.5k points
mellow linden
Not that I'm aware thus far, but SS Erika + a good tank could probably pull it off if it's only 1.5k
deft bluff
SS Erika EX and atleast 3/5?
deft bluff
Hmm, ok..
mellow linden
Any particular reason you're trying to 2v3?
mellow linden
Fair enough
deft bluff
I was able to 2v3 all stages, but wallace was something else
First the weather, then the AoE attacks
mellow linden
Yeah, I think he's probably designed around the fact that most Grass damage-dealers want Sun
deft bluff
And that most of the damage-dealers have weak defences
So AoE attacks will just kill them
Within seconds
mellow linden
Eh, it's not that bad
long thicket
Alright, did it while removing anti-critical for start healing.
And doing the sides first.
It still was kinda close.
mellow linden
Wait
steel kelp
Huh
mellow linden
You had turned on critical shield
steel kelp
Why crit shield
mellow linden
Bruh
steel kelp
mellow linden
No wonder you were having so much trouble
mellow linden
Critical Shield is a big no-no for any offense-focused clear
steel kelp
Crit shield plus barriers up that’s a good combo for a no clear
long thicket
Oh, and I understood my confusion about Sygna Hilda.
She's not gauge-free, but she fills the gauge everytime she attacks.
Which is "sort of" the same idea, but not in the way I thought.
mellow linden
Yeah, she's pretty gauge-friendly thanks to Recharging Strike
long thicket
But Glacia doesn't sound like fun.
keen jasper
Yeah, Glacia likes Blizzard and Icy Wind 
steel kelp
It’s possible to go dual strike with SS hilda but up to you
mellow linden
SS Hilda should murder
keen jasper
Definitely
keen jasper
SS Hilda should murder
Actually, any fire-type DDs will murder Glacia
teal siren
Is there a resource to show what teams can 2k CS?
mellow linden
No, the amount of teams that can do so is way too high
Not to mention that a team that obliterates a specific stage in one region may struggle to clear a stage weak to the same type in another due to different gimmicks
If you need help figuring out 2k teams you can post screenshots of your roster here (ideally from the Move Level menu) and we can help you put together some teams
long thicket
Glacia is very painful, yup...
I might need to use a precision debuffer?
She almost one-shots Victini.
keen jasper
Glacia is very painful, yup...
I might need to use a precision debuffer?
Who's your Sp. Def. buffer?
long thicket
Sorry, misread for a little bit.
I have Blaine.
And Evelyn is another on-type option.
void wyvern
If you’re struggling with glacia power boosted silver makes quick work of her.
long thicket
I just got him, yeah.
mellow linden
Evelyn + SS Hilda + Blaine or another Sun Setter should be able to pull it off
Silver is good too, yeah
long thicket
Silver needs sync for that, though.
void wyvern
And his sync will wipe the field
Run Lyra, Blaine, Silver. Use Blaine’s Sun turn one and right before sync. Use Lyra’s tm to max speed. With silver use Tm, Overheat, TM, sync.
Let me get the grid
mellow linden
Worth noting that for that team you’ll probably wanna use pre-Sync parameters, assuming the intent is for Silver to one-shot with Sync
long thicket
She KO'd doing the final blow, and it counted as a loss.
I hope it's true when you do it yourself.
small root
sand karma
SS Erika EX and atleast 3/5?
I did pre sync 2k with Aaron ex3, lyra1 and Erika 2/5 non ex
void wyvern
I’m genuinely surprised silver isn’t nuking glacia.
sand karma
If it's 1.5k they could get rid of one support and still manage it no?
sand karma
I’m genuinely surprised silver isn’t nuking glacia.
What parameters?
no idea
long thicket
Sigh...
sand karma
Do you have a flinching support?
void wyvern
So what goes wrong. Is silver not killing or is glacia hitting too hard?
sand karma
I used Hilbert to flinch her blizzards and icy winds, set sun immediately on entry with Blaine and cleared the sides with first sync, Glacia dusted by second sync. Honestly surprised he's that good since i just got his expansion today
But mine was overheat build
long thicket
I need to reconsider the fight from the beginning instead of trying.
Results are too inconsistent.

When you try solar flare CS2 sync nuke you will see crazy damage

What I use here
void wyvern
No SEUN?
frosty axle
only if you bring someone to buff offensive for hooh, not enough energy
dark osprey
SEUN definitely over TM refresh
Even without the complete buffs
But maybe you are using him offtype as well

That’s fair.
zealous karma
And the Valerie oke is easy so lel
But you can run this for a silver grid
But I’ll try the drake thing
void wyvern
Clear glacia using fire blast professor oak.
zealous karma
Clear Sidney using Valerie as your dps
Does this mean no dual strike or does this mean she has to be the one syncing and doing DPS
void wyvern
Valerie should be the one doing the dps (but you can still use a support sync instead of her garbage sync move)
You could bring supports like SS wally to make it easier as long as he isn’t nuking mid for example.
void wyvern
Okay clearly support syncs are busted and silly
zealous karma
When the sync is critless
void wyvern
Valerie really should’ve had double down

Silver nuke averages 31k first sync
Using your grid above? I'm gonna try that next.
long thicket
That.
blazing raft
Any idea if Celebi can solo Wallace?
Mine did only 9k dmg on sync with cs2 and +4 ATK so idk if its possible
zealous karma
She prolly can
blazing raft
Does Wallace have some sort of weather related passive?
Or is the rain there just to buff water moves?
blazing raft
Ah, but no rain gear, alright
Guess Im using the wrong grid then
Well I cant use Power Play because Wallace buffs all his stats back to 0 or +1
So close
zealous karma
Mine did only 9k dmg on sync with cs2 and +4 ATK so idk if its possible

Thats what I’ve been trying, sync absolutely murders Celebi 😔
long thicket
I really should have a healer...

So close
Is your Lyra 3/5 because if so I’d just keep flinchin until they have no passives left and then wait until they’re all flinching ti sync
zealous karma
Clear glacia using fire blast professor oak.
I’ve been doing this since you sent this message
void wyvern
Any luck?
blazing raft
Alright, got it, I was playing the game wrong lmao
This shows that I dont normally use SSLyra
Now I know what she’s truly capable of
I wasnt perma flinching them, I thought a sync would be enough to take down Wallace
Welp, this fight showed me that SSLyra can win any fight as long as the “permanent field effects” condition is in play
blazing raft
Glacia with only Oak?
long thicket
I hate this Glacia stage...
blazing raft
Hmmm
zealous karma
I hate this Glacia stage...
Do you have silver and Blaine?
long thicket
Yes, but I can't make it work.
Plus Evelyn for special defense.
I always fall short.
Using the pre-sync pinned parameters.
DID IT!
Needed two syncs from Silver.
And I almost lost.
long thicket
For some reason, I can't change the song of that Wallace fight.
Is it the first time this grass stage exists?
zealous karma
Yes 🦑
long thicket
Mmm, I see, makes sense.
long thicket
When Wallace feels like a pushover compared to most of the elite 4...

That’s most champions really
mellow linden
Wallace’s gimmick is just weather, so it makes sense
swift swan
Wallace's gimmick is weather and Wise Entry x2. In other words, his gimmick is being a pushover

It hurts how forgettable Wallace’s stages are. Just like the real thing
swift swan
hey, poison-weak wallace's gimmick actually matter quite a bit
can't be critted if no status condition

Just run crit shield no status no status conditions, Ez.

I just gotta say, it’s criminal that we won’t be getting Poison weak Wallace this run when Roxie’s getting her grid this month
In other Wallace news, next week is probably his most lol-tier variant considering Giovanni exists

You said you have SS Morty right?

EX-ed?
keen jasper
He's one of the top support units
keen jasper
oh, 5/5 Brendan. yeah ok his nuke will be bonkers
Also 5/5 Mallow
torn night
is this hard mode?
Trying on 2000 points actually
swift swan
ah, should still be fine
torn night
Also 5/5 Mallow
Wait mallow is actually usable?
swift swan
SS Morty, SS Lyra, and an extra grass damage dealer of your choice (either brendan, ss erika, or mallow)
keen jasper
Wait mallow is actually usable?
Indeed
eternal mist
yes both mallow and brendan are great
swift swan
Wait mallow is actually usable?
everything is usable in this game
eternal mist
but you only need one
swift swan
well, if you know how to make them work
keen jasper
I'd say SS Morty, Mallow and SS Lyra
torn night
Oh woah been ignoring her for the whole time
swift swan
I hope she's gridded, at least
torn night
I'll be using morty sync move first follow by mallow?
keen jasper
If your SS Erika was 3/5, then I would've chosen her over Mallow
keen jasper
I'll be using morty sync move first follow by mallow?
That is if your SS Morty is EX-ed
frigid iron
Ss erika still prob gonna do better than mallow
keen jasper
So only sync with your main damage dealer
torn night
I hope she's gridded, at least
No worries I gt plenty of yellow thingy
frigid iron
Ss erika gets solar flare 5 at 2/5
She can kill the sides with dps and center with sync
swift swan
honestly does it even matter with ss lyra on the team lol. she'll make even Ramos work
eternal mist
that is v true
prime warren
I mean
eternal mist
lyra could tbh do it alone
prime warren
SSlyra doesn't need anyone else
prime warren
Just flinch
CS doesn't have resilience anyways
And they haven't thought of putting unflappable yet
keen jasper
And here I wonder when CS will have Unflappable
torn night
Yea I can flinch the middle poke to dead but then the side one kill me in like 2 hit
frigid iron
Use ss erika
torn night
torn night
Even its only 2/5?
frigid iron
Prob lyra since she is ex
frigid iron
Even its only 2/5?
Yeah
frigid iron
Ss erika's dmg is nothing to laugh on
eternal mist
id do sslyra lyra and ssmorty(tank)
prime warren
SSerika cleared with 0 issues
keen jasper
SS Erika is perfect as both a DPS and a nuker
eternal mist
lyra is mainly there to setup for sslyra once ssmorty sets sun
prime warren
Btw any team recommendations with hala?
swift swan
SS Lyra is literally the best unit to flinchlock a 3v3 stage
and not just because hers is guaranteed
keen jasper
Btw any team recommendations with hala?
Candice or Pal. Bea
prime warren
I am thinking of redlax+hala for next week
Want to know which one for 3rd slot
No pal bea
keen jasper
Hala has hail multipliers
prime warren
swift swan
but because during the animation when the opponent gets flinched, trapped, and confused, you can queue up another move
frigid iron
Btw any team recommendations with hala?
On type or off type? Cz Red + Hala works really good on type
swift swan
I am thinking of redlax+hala for next week
Want to know which one for 3rd slot

Woah I didn't knew that
prime warren
I'll use SSmorty then
swift swan
trust me, ss lyra is a free CS win
keen jasper
I'm trying to do CS with units having the same weakness as the stage's weakness
torn night
Great guess I'll jus go with morty erika lyra
swift swan
pretty sure I've seen her solo a CS stage before too
keen jasper
But it's a struggle without having increased stuff
frigid iron
Great guess I'll jus go with morty erika lyra
Good luck. Lyra's fastest setup would be tm once without sun, and tm once with sun. That will fully set her up. Ofc if you can afford both tms in sun, thats okay too, but this is for max turn utility
keen jasper
Who's a sun setter that buffs crit and is weak to rock?
frigid iron
pretty sure I've seen her solo a CS stage before too
She can solo 4300 points, currently the only unit in game capable of doing that.
Though I dont consider that as big of a feat

Man, 30% flinch chance hits different tho

frigid iron
Lmao
swift swan
Who's a sun setter that buffs crit and is weak to rock?
you can narrow down your question to "who's a sun setter" and it'll still be a short list of units
prime warren
Why rock weak sun setter specifically?
keen jasper
I'm still wondering why aren't one of the Ho-Oh's weak to rock
frigid iron
Dont think there is anyone meeting that conditions
keen jasper
Why rock weak sun setter specifically?
Challenge
steel kelp
Especially if they only set up sun without sync
keen jasper
Doing CS using units that have the same weakness as that stage's weakness
Example
Drake is weak to rock, so I have to only use units that are weak to rock
And I also have to use 1 unit from each role too
trail smelt
Huh can we filter our units to specific weaknesses?
swift swan
don't think so
keen jasper
Huh can we filter our units to specific weaknesses?
No, I think only PoMa Tools does that
frigid iron
The only sun setter weak to rock is Lucas Flareon I think
keen jasper
And also, I have to use 1 unit of each role that are also weak to the same stage's weakness
frigid iron
The only sun setter weak to rock is Lucas Flareon I think
And egg ninetails
prime warren
Just wait till SSred grid expansion so that incase he gets solarize
frigid iron
Only these two
trail smelt
Too annoying for me then lol
prime warren
keen jasper
Meaning rock-weak Drake, Skyla for support, SS Red as striker and Blaine as tech and all of them also being rock-weak
prime warren
I am quite certain you don't need sun with SSred to smack down drake
Drake felt quite easy
Compared to rest of the stages
frigid iron
Is this for current CS or next
frigid iron
Current drake is pretty easy
keen jasper
Yeah, but my supports suxas

I think dark-weak Phoebe will be easy for me challenge

Only off types for me
prime warren
Oh right sharp entry
fringe valve
My ash isn't 3/5 so I sync with with him,
That plus 2 volt tackles (pre sync and post sync) is enough for sides
prime warren
I am quite certain 1/5 terrain Ash syncs harder than cblue anyways
fringe valve
Maybe if you use g max pre sync
prime warren
Meh, theyll likely release a physical master support for kanto soon anyways
fringe valve
Is it?
prime warren
Patiently waiting for rock zone so cblue can one shot mid without redlax in MM
magic crown
Omg tbh I'm really glad I pulled calem he helps all my dark/water units out well I didn't have a dark zone user
fringe valve
Same, I blue feels so underwhelming compared to these other units with zones and weather multipliers
prime warren
Well I don't have many zonebots so he feels strong as long as I don't sync with him
That sync is his real weakness
magic crown

Unless your dps is also decently tanky you'll suffer

Coz +6 offenses cblue with SSTred in team can't max crit for first sync
swift swan
I haven't tried that yet,every other team I've tried had suffered on drake
what else have you tried
and what happens with that team? don't use Morty and Cynthia's two-turn moves if you're presyncing, it will ruin your sync countdown

For crit

Oh wait sharp entry
prime warren
It's so scuffed lmao
Oh well it's SSTred and ash
Anything works I guess
Still weird seeing mega sync with 1 multiplier outpacing a non mega sync
fringe valve
For what I have it clears the stage the fastest since 2 volt tackles (post and pre sync) and 1 blue sync clears the sides
And then theres b thunder bolt

In terms of ticket
Hey, I’m sure some people have lost every 50/50 on those and still don’t have either Serena or Clemont
prime warren
Yea totally glacia spooks you in kalos tickets ♿♿♿
Serena means you get lodge version for debuffer
And clemont himself is debuffer
It's much easier req to cover than actually rolling 3/5 of any dark dps
frigid iron
Kalos has more limited units than general pool and its considered to have less limiteds than others

Hello it's my first time trying cs on master mode. Any tips on how to get the rewards on the 2k mode (or below)?
tribal agate
Hey @lapis trench , our pins have suggested parameters for master mode (scroll a bit)
if it's your first time, don't go to 2k right away
try the 850 standard first
key rewards for master mode (as in unique to it) stop at 4200 total points, so it's not a priority to immediately go for high scores
you can find team ideas in #1010274591601598555 by searching for the champion stadium tag or just type F2P
pins here also have some strats for current rotations
overall as long as you respect those quoted in pins and build an on-type damage dealer and then a support to maximize the damage dealer, you should be fine
(and ofc practice proper queuing and don't play on 3x speed if you can't)
lapis trench
Ok thank you so much for the advice, i'll take a look and start the 850. Just one last question and sorry for bothering you, the master mode needs lot of ex supports? (Because to be honest i'm still kinda new, so not many ex)
tribal agate
no don't worry it doesn't need EX supports at all
we usually have content creators posting very F2P accessible teams for templates to follow but i don't see them this week
and those never have EX supports in them, nor EX characters at all (except the few event free ones sometimes)
lapis trench
Ok thank you again! I'll follow your advice and I really appreciate your time!
tribal agate
for sure, feel free to ask here again for teambuilding advices, it's usually more active so dw if people don't respond immediately
lapis trench
Indeed it's difficult to answer everytime and anytime. People have a life besides this and that's why i appreciate your time and patience!
void wyvern
My life is answering questions here.
lapis trench

Oo I like that one lel
void wyvern
Here’s a goofy idea.
You have to build your strategy and the enemies strategy around the round parameter.
Round 1 is Phoebe almost all her moves have additional affects, shadow ball, ominous wind, air slash on sides. All your moves must have additional affects innately.
Round 2 Drake. You must lower a stat every cycle. Also you can’t run a speed support. (But you can run gauge accel or gauge support.)
Round 3: glacia loves special attacks so you better make sure to run Max attack or strength and hopefully nuke her first. Your striker must be special.
Round 4, Sidney: To help Sidney out he gets crit shield. You also must utlilize a support who gives a field effect,
Wallace wants you to use moves constantly. So you can’t take -2 move gauge otherwise you’ll struggle! Your support‘a move should cost the same or more as your dps.

Nita gonna come in clutch for Wallace
void wyvern
I forgot Nita has bulldoze.
mellow linden
It’s the one reason I haven’t permanently slapped her on my Bea team, I’m afraid of gauge issues
Still might take 1 attempt using her when I face Glacia next week and see if she can somehow survive
void wyvern
At 3/5 Nita doesn’t have too many gauge issues thanks to the multiple MGR.
I was able to run her with Courtney and mash double bulldoze.
mellow linden
Only have her 1/5 right now, unfortunately. My Support backlog is too large to even consider candying her yet as well
void wyvern
Don’t candy her.
She’s funny, but she’s not that worth it in lacking sand and crit buffs.
mellow linden
Wasn’t planning to unless I stockpiled a couple candies with no one to use them on
void wyvern
Her biggest issue to me is that in all the teams she could be on. Someone else can provide more.
zealous karma
Here’s a goofy idea.

Interesting

Regardless, she’ll be helpful for Wallace in your proposed challenge

Gonna be honest I use Nita as a speed debuffer more than as a raw support.

It means moves with a chance of doing something else (like Astonish’s flinch) will be more likely to have that effect happen

Roxanne could work here for the defence and speed
boreal rose
Would this be good?
mellow linden
Hop or Aaron should work, though you’ll need to get Olivia’s Amped Up tile from grid to counter Drake’s Speed debuffs
boreal rose
Oh
mellow linden
Holiday Rosa could potentially work, would just mean you’d need to use Olivia’s Trainer Move twice (probably still need to get the Amped Up grid tile as well)
mellow linden
Oh
What’s the full grid?
Should be easy to get rid of Surging Sand or something so as to get Amped Up

No surging sand

Ok, you’re definitely gonna want to adjust that. Gimme a sec
void wyvern
You can cover all the goodies with this
mellow linden
Try this one, gets you both Sync modifier tiles, both Sync base power tiles, and Stone Edge Amped Up
Since Olivia is EX you should be able to obliterate the entire enemy team with 2nd Sync barring failure to crit

@mellow linden post or pre sync parameters?
mellow linden
pre-Sync if you can quadqueue or Acerola flinch to guarantee you Sync twice before Drake's Sync, post-Sync if you can't

Not really anything to do with reaction time and you can use Acerola to flinch the left side right after your 1st Sync to guarantee your 2nd Sync before Drake Syncs anyways

dark osprey
They do look like good teams. Kinda need to check the gimmicks for next week.
Going with two supports for safety seems like a decent approach I guess
Wise entry Drake should be doable still with that team. Personally would have gone with Candice instead of SS Kris and put her elsewhere but I guess Candice needs some investment still
boreal rose
What would be a good type to off type Wallace with? Other than electric
dark osprey
Depends on your roster. If you've got good physical damage dealers/nukes, then great
mellow linden
What would be a good type to off type Wallace with? Other than electric
You have SS Erika, she should be able to handle it with at most an EX Support and someone to buff her offenses

the Drake team might be having gauge issues imo
if you want defense buffs, Skyla's probably the better choice

2022/12/19 - 2022/12/26
Flying-weak Sidney: Mid is mixed with a special sync, left is fully physical, right is mostly special. Bulky HP (21k). High attack and special attack stats. Has slightly low resistance to trap (Lessen 7).
Dark-weak Phoebe: Mid is mixed with a physical sync. Left is fully physical, right is fully special. Very bulky HP (almost 29k). Sets Ghost Zone right before sync. All 3 have Sentry Entry x2 which doubles the base defense stat (Piercing Blows and other moves with a similar effect do not ignore this). Special moves are recommended.
Fighting-weak Glacia: Mid is mostly special, sides are fully special. Low attack and special attack stats. Has Piercing Gaze so moves never miss. Has sure-crit Hydro Pump after sync.
Ice-weak Drake: Fully physical stage. Bulky HP (21k). Has low resistance to freeze (Lessen 5). Sets up sandstorm on entry and after sync. Has a lot of sand-related passives. Changing the weather is recommended. All 3 have Wise Entry x2 which doubles the base special defense stat (Piercing Blows and other moves with a similar effect do not ignore this). Physical moves is recommended.
Psychic-weak Wallace: Mid and right are mostly physical, left is fully physical. Bulky HP (25k). High attack stat. Has low resistance to attack and special defense debuffs (Lessen 3). Has low resistance to confusion (Lessen 5). Sides have 50% chance to poison with Poison Fang. Mid has Toxic right before sync.
Tip: You can flinch/sleep the Toxic. Wallace won’t try again.
void wyvern
Nov is a hero for writing these out.
sand karma
Wut sentry entry dark weak
swift swan
yeah, we've had that on the first week too
Karen, SS Cyrus, Summer N, or bust
well strong nukers like Sidney and Masked Royal can still do it I believe
I offtyped it last week but maybe I should bruteforce the stage with Sidney, now that I have CCalem for dark zone 
sand karma
And here i was celebrating Nessa 3rd copy thinking if i could manage with her and maskedroyal i could save Cerena for if i cant do Sidney
I have no special dark types
Karen is only 1)5 and only snarl is special i think
swift swan
she has dark pulse after sync but idk if that's going to cut it at 1/5
seems like offtyping is the better choice
void wyvern
I offtyped it last week but maybe I should bruteforce the stage with Sidney, now...

Same. I tried last week. It did work with support sync though. But I couldn’t blindly brute force her.
And the sides are a pain.
boreal rose
Nope
swift swan
use his TM once, as the first move in your queue so it takes as much gauge as possible. if you have a crit buffer with him, just start spamming leaf storm (as long as he has dauntless lucky skill)
swift swan
Like?
I see Hop is still available. hilbert and sonia are my go-to choices because they give speed and your brendan can do inertia nuke, but neither are 3/5 so you can't buff crit yet
brendan is extremely self sufficient, I just suggested an attack and crit buffer for ss erika because she takes longer to set up
and ss erika allows dual striking really well
boreal rose
Dual striking?
swift swan
using two damage dealers in one team
dense crow

GEEZ, just realized this is stadium and not poma-question. Super sorry again.
onyx ice
brendan is extremely self sufficient, I just suggested an attack and crit buffer...
He just needs someone to boost speed for inertia if you plan to nuke with him 1st sync, but for DPS he only needs sun/terrain
However sun isn't that necessary
gusty dragon
SSErika cant do it <:AcerolaPensive:608464449141080084>
U can try may, SSgloria and sonia for off type... But SSerika should beat wallace... Groudon, SSerika and sonia should work too
If solar beam hit low damage because of wise entry, u can go for his AoE damage which will help beat sides more fast, because SSerika does a lot damage by herself
and sonia reduce def, so surely it will work
And SSerika has solar propulsion if u can't quad queue
keen jasper
And SSerika has solar propulsion if u can't quad queue
Well, a 20% chance to trigger
Or was it 30%?
gusty dragon
Just 30% but if u can't quad queue it will allow u to sync with some rng rsrs
Aaron is also a very good support u have him 4/5
gusty dragon
Just 30% but if u can't quad queue it will allow u to sync with some rng rsrs
But I think wise entry is just in the middle... So u can probably defeat one sides after your first sync and if solar propulsion proc... U will have yet another free turn
mellow linden
All 3 have Wise Entry
gusty dragon
Sad, but should work even so

Any advice for params for r2 Sidney?

And what parameters for 2k?
Go for post sync params, save Sycamore TM for Thunder Wave before Sidney sync
I think Mina is a lot better than Valerie
zealous karma
Do you have Lucian?
zealous karma

Ye but you need to sync twice with her
hidden ore
I have him
zealous karma
If you plan to use Valerie I’d bring a support ex crit buffer like Sabrina and Lucian alongside her lel
hidden ore
old orchid
Ye but you need to sync twice with her
Sycamore can sync first for speed buff. If you dont mind clunky gauge can sync with her first on side
zealous karma
Oh no I mean
zealous karma
Mina cannot kill center mon with a non support ex sync (even then it’s very close)
CRed is perfect if you want to use Valerie
zealous karma
I’d replace sycamore with Lucian
zealous karma
Then replace no stat reduction with smth else
With Cred and Lucian Valerie can easily pre sync
I don’t have any of those units but in theory I think it should work very well
zealous karma
He’s just there to spam growl his grid doesn’t matter but if you can grab growl charging infliction your gauge should be good
