Champion Stadium

[austere quest]

No lmao

[summer flare]

The Kalos one

[austere quest]

It’s not the hardest MM we have

[summer flare]

Might be doable

[sonic blaze]

problem is people have too varied boxes, so some struggle

[summer flare]

Boxes?

[sonic blaze]

like characters

[summer flare]

Oh

So, for fighting, I have a perfect sir fetch'd

Iirc it's 5/5 150 EX

[rotund lagoon]

I call it roster.

[sonic blaze]

for example i don't have much in the room of bug/fairy, so i tend to have to think abit more when trying 2k and offtyping

[summer flare]

For steel, I either have 5/5 ex grimsley or 1/5 raihan

[sonic blaze]

that's better actually

[summer flare]

For bug, 1/5 150 ex alder

[lunar meadow]

I found the wikstrom fight this week to be the hardest fight I've seen in years.

Because I do mono-type clears, fighting only has CynCario for good supports, Sdef buffers, and zone setters... So without her I had to give up on mono on-type.

(Mono dragons had no issues)

[sonic blaze]

grimsley and bisharp right? that one has a very good sync so you should be fine if u can survive lol

[summer flare]

Yes

There's a fairy stage, right?

For that, I have the shiny Galarian rapidash, but I don't have zones

[sonic blaze]

with an Ex support , ideally enemy -SpD you should be fine, i did it with 1/5 non exed lv140 alder.

[summer flare]

Forgot the name of the trainer

I could do with any crit buffer + Lucian, perhaps

[austere quest]

I could definitely see how it is an issue stage

[summer flare]

Ontyping water could be hard

[austere quest]

I didn’t struggle because SSTR

[sonic blaze]

zones are a big help but not necesary, i remember that rapidash had a very good dps so it sounds like you shouldn't have much of an issue, hopefully.

[austere quest]

But it looks annoying

[summer flare]

Since I'm on spotlight

[austere quest]

With the Steel Zone setting

[summer flare]

When it comes to water damage dealers

Could try Hilbert, Kris and a random rain setter

Like winona

[sonic blaze]

Kris they buffed her so she became very good

so you should be able to do it

[summer flare]

I kinda wanna pull on a limited water damage dealer, at some point

[sonic blaze]

def bring a rain setter as well

[formal vigil]

Kris hilbert and winnona was the team I used to 2k malva cleared pretty easily

[summer flare]

But since half anni is closing up

And I already have plans on pulling this month

Since crobat 3 solves my poison issues sorta permanently

[sonic blaze]

you could just wait, datamines are usually available around the 26-28, these banners expire until march

so u can definitely wait before pulling

[frosty axle]

ye drasna down to stall

now champion and done my F2P run

[summer flare]

I have 96k gems

Even if they do 3 desirable banners, I should be fine, shouldn't I?

[prime warren]

Ontype kalos done
My bug type rly need improvement

[frosty axle]

I am surprised I got so far 😅

[sonic blaze]

well, if you plan stuff like with crobat (to deal with poison troubles) you should be fine

[prime warren]

If I get to unlock charging inflicting in colress grid I can do it with less worries

[sonic blaze]

but if you're unlucky those 96k gems could not amount to too much units lol , so with that mentality think what's best what u need

[summer flare]

I don't have a limited poison pair

Which means my poison ceiling is pretty low

Colress is also THE fave

[sonic blaze]

like Kris is a very good water unit, so if i was struggling with ontype for other 5 types.... i'd prolly leave water to last

[prime warren]

Poison ceiling is low for anyone without firis

[sonic blaze]

unless they brought some crazy utility

[lunar meadow]

Good news

[sonic blaze]

yeah, there aren't much as far as i'm aware, i'm using SS giovani lol

[summer flare]

Even when crobat 3 kicks in?

[prime warren]

I am talking abt now

Crobat isn't out yet

Unless you mean koga

[frosty axle]

lets hope once I do this F2P I will get lots of views

[prime warren]

Koga ex when Dena

I don't want to roll cringe poison dps meta

[summer flare]

I don't remember her name

[sonic blaze]

but yeah, it's fine to get the poison limited as i'm sure it'll help, just saying don't go crazy, cause DeNa releases alot of shit and since luck is involved things can get sour if you're unlucky.

like for new years

[frosty axle]

once I finish champion I will work on the video

[summer flare]

I haven't played through kalos

[sonic blaze]

there were 5 master sync pairs

[summer flare]

So, I have a mental list of unsolved types, as in

[formal vigil]

It's Emma her name is mentioned in the kalos va story

[summer flare]

Could use new pairs

[sonic blaze]

and depending on luck and wanting them that could've been rough... cause u could only guarantee almost 3

[summer flare]

Fighting is sorta fine, though I miss SSA Cynthia a bit

[sonic blaze]

that's bug and fairy for me RN 😂

[summer flare]

I need alder to go 3/5 before I say anything about his power level

[prime warren]

I hope next month is skip
Then I can roll for ssdiantha dupes

[frosty axle]

wish me good luck on Diantha

[prime warren]

I am so broke on tech candies

[sonic blaze]

everyone is, i legit need like 7+ units to candy that are tech, while support... only like 2 lol

[prime warren]

I actually have only ssdiantha to candy

But she needs atleast 3/5 for me and only 1 candy on hand rn

[sonic blaze]

i'd reconsider comitting on old pokefairs to candy them, not sure how alder is, but i haven't been enticed to candy him or any of the old cynthia/steven/etc just for them to become "decent" and not "OP"

[prime warren]

I often don't roll for units when I don't have candies on hand if they need em

I only have 8 limited techs coz of that

While more than 15 strikers

Since they are fine at 1/5

[sonic blaze]

i want grimsnarl for that fairy nuke... but then again i want may and blaziken at 3/5, lucas dialga at least at 2/5 xD... mawile could use some help

and just like that my list expands ;v

[prime warren]

Alder is great now

He's worth candy if SShilbert didn't exist

[sonic blaze]

good buffs at 3/5 or u gotta comit to 5/5?

[prime warren]

5/5

[sonic blaze]

yeah, fk that shit lol

(at least for me)

[prime warren]

He gets easier setup and big boi damage

It's worth if you care abt volcarona

But why raise volcarona

When Chad genesect exist

[sonic blaze]

very steep price though...

[sonic blaze]

hopefully i'll pull it next time

i was a simp for hilda so F on victini xD

[prime warren]

Tbh alder looks fine at 1/5 for CS to me atleast.....

[nocturne pawn]

steel weak diantha just needs a status unit right

[prime warren]

I use cblue as hyperbeam unit and they both are similar range

Yes

[nocturne pawn]

so raihanx2 and serena should work

[prime warren]

I'll roll genesect if it drops on dead week

Can't rly afford to go for him actively when I have 3/5 escavalier

[sonic blaze]

with an ex support i'm usually able to use him, but idk, feels too close or too finicky in my fights lol

and hyper beam misses as well xD

[prime warren]

Oh yea
He gets pinpoint entry

Just 2/5 him for that

[sonic blaze]

but let's c, tech units i need to candy... latias, grimsnarl, shaymin, marnie, darkrai, blaziken, shiny diancie.

tech candies in storage, 1

xd

[prime warren]

Darkrai Defo doesn't need candies

Diancie too if you have good rock dps

[summer flare]

Cynthia seems strong enough, imo

Ever since her buff

[sonic blaze]

i'm thinking of 3/5 candying diantha, just seeing if i get lucky on another daily paid pull lol

[summer flare]

I kinda wanna see her at 5/5 just because she makes sandstorm smoother to use

[sonic blaze]

so i don't have to commit 2 candies

[summer flare]

Oh

[prime warren]

Cynthia is pretty capped at 3/5 itself

[summer flare]

I candied her due to the way I got her

[prime warren]

4/5 and 5/5 are just qol if your roster is shit for some reason

[summer flare]

5/5 is mostly QoL I'd like to have

She's strong enough at 3/5

[sonic blaze]

she is strong, but idk, commiting to units at 5/5 to be "great", while other 3/5 are "broken" makes me not want to commit at all.

[prime warren]

I might candy her just to make TLraihan usable

Coz 5/5 cynthia has good synergy with him

[summer flare]

I got her during the Raihan banner

Or wait, no

It was the N one

I got N 3/5, Raihan and Marnie 1/5 and then used the pity for cynthia

[frosty axle]

Diantha ended up being super quick and easy lol

[summer flare]

Which is why I've candied her

To 3/5

[prime warren]

I actually want to 5/5 zekrom as well
But I have both rats and elesa got buffed

[summer flare]

Same

[prime warren]

They are giving less and less reason to use him

[summer flare]

For now I wanna 3/5 ex ash

While he doesn't need it and likely never will

I just wanna go over the top

[sonic blaze]

both my red and ash are at 2/5 xD cause while i do love the chars, their kits are very broken and others could use candies in my roster

[prime warren]

I actually like 3/5 ash for BV speedrun

[sonic blaze]

so i decided not to lol.

[summer flare]

But first I need to give alder 3/5

[prime warren]

For CS it's Defo overkill

[latent eagle]

This team isn’t working for R2 pre-sync

[summer flare]

So I have a strong bug representative

I don't like base alder that much

Though SS Kris helped him quite a bit

[sonic blaze]

only old champ pokefair i have 5/5 is lance 😂 , back when i didn't think much about my roster and just fed him candies cause dena was more generous with them ;v

[summer flare]

I don't have lance

[prime warren]

My highest is 4/5 SSred
Waiting for his expansion

[summer flare]

I'm considering to get him once I have the chance

[prime warren]

Can't wait for him to get to T0 back

[rotund lagoon]

Why not use Mina?

[prime warren]

Coz red shouldn't be below T0

[summer flare]

I mean

[sonic blaze]

his dps is solid, that's it ;p

[summer flare]

Snorlax would also need a bump

To go up to t0

[prime warren]

Redlax is fine

[sonic blaze]

grid has a stupid amount of +25, but 0 multipliers so the sync sucks lol.

[prime warren]

Already T0 unit

Closest they can give is headstart

[summer flare]

Isn't redlax T1?

[prime warren]

That's on sparks list

[summer flare]

What makes it t0, then

[latent eagle]

She was stuck at 120 but it turns out I can get her to 140 but she’s also only 4* so—

[nocturne pawn]

bro the side got a fucking triple paralyze with discharge on wikstrom 💀💀💀💀💀💀

[prime warren]

Coz he's still better utility

Than stuff on top

[summer flare]

SS Kris is otherworldly in utility

[rotund lagoon]

120 is just fine and she does not need to be 5 star. Here, watch this. https://youtu.be/Win2_EhcirI

[prime warren]

Psure ropa's list has him at T0

[summer flare]

And ccalem has zone and rain

Which is a bit absurd

[nocturne pawn]

this is so bullshit

like this is r4 and all but the chances of a triple paralyze proc is disgustingly low

[rotund lagoon]

You’re doing Wikstrom R4???

[nocturne pawn]

why

[rotund lagoon]

No wonder you’re having trouble lmao

[sonic blaze]

tier lists can be subjective not a fact, only the super broken shit that is undeniable a fact lol

[nocturne pawn]

its literally the first time ive ever seen discharge

[rotund lagoon]

He’s not recommended for R4, it says in the pins.

[sonic blaze]

redlax i wish gave more defenses/speed, that's my only complain... BUT the fact that he reduces so much sync cd and that is somewhat spammable

i think is very good

[rotund lagoon]

Why worry about defenses when the enemy is already dead?

[frosty axle]

hopefully my F2P run will be uploaded in next 2 hours

[sand karma]

What did you find for wik

[sonic blaze]

sometimes he doesn't feel ass tanky (since all my master mode parameters are for damage and h e can't take too many hits as compared to let's say cynthia, or SS kris and her beautiful +4 SpD on rain)

as for speed, i like when i can "spam" strong attacks from my teammates

but with red i got to be mindful of the gauges sometimes

[rotund lagoon]

My point is C Red is for teams where you wipe the enemy quickly.

Not for prolonging it.

[frosty axle]

well it was flinch and Lucario, one needs 3 syncs without EX sync buff

[sonic blaze]

yeah, that's y he's really good i agree

that sync cd thing makes you nuke the enemy if u can lol

[sand karma]

Oof

[sonic blaze]

was just saying my overall opinion of the unit , nothing more

[frosty axle]

least these hard CS make me think of something different to win

[sand karma]

It's the best part

[verbal karma]

Okay, I tried with Hop/Mina/Sycamore

[nocturne pawn]

ok whatever i did it

[sonic blaze]

i think in legendary arenas :3

[nocturne pawn]

fuck wikstrom goddamn thats annoying

[verbal karma]

and guess what: it didn't work out 😦

[sonic blaze]

using old units that i saw as "pretty useless" work out well is kinda cool.

[frosty axle]

yes especially when I avoided using sleep cheesing

[sonic blaze]

reminds me that i didn't need to use elio this week xD

[umbral plaza]

I’m doing something wrong I’m surviving her sync but she one shots

[rotund lagoon]

Why is Darach the first target?

[frosty axle]

awesome don't think I've used sleep much besides maybe Darkrai

[verbal karma]

I am actually running out of options at this point

[umbral plaza]

idk..

[verbal karma]

if not even Hop/Mina/Sycamore works out, then what does?!

[rotund lagoon]

Do Hop instead.

[tribal agate]

Hop / Mina / Sycamore works

but it's very rng

[umbral plaza]

Sycamore doesn’t heal much to survive

[frosty axle]

so far only see one F2P run on youtube search but with sleep

[sonic blaze]

i have used primarina, darkrai, and delphox when necessary

[umbral plaza]

ok

[tribal agate]

https://youtu.be/Win2_EhcirI

[verbal karma]

the problem is that even with Mina doing the second sync after Sycamore did his first sync, it's STILL not enough to beat Drasna

[frosty axle]

Ye I tried to avoid RNG as much as possible in my run

[verbal karma]

and Mina STILL gets insta-killed by Drasna's sync

[nocturne pawn]

bro auroras crit raihan with icy wind and did 789 dmg 💀

[tribal agate]

you shouldn't get to Drasna's sync, that's pmuch guaranteed death

[nocturne pawn]

this is actually silly

[tribal agate]

if your fairies can't tackle it, then you'll have to resort to powerful off type or reduce points

[nocturne pawn]

you can survive it

its just

[frosty axle]

unless you sleep stall then you can take a lot of syncs lol

[nocturne pawn]

very not recommended

and probably reliant on rng

[rotund lagoon]

Let’s not suggest that… T~T

[frosty axle]

yes and I don't like suggesting runs like that

[tribal agate]

i think Annie meant the sleep stall that's high end stuff

you can post-sync with debuffs and defenses

[frosty axle]

well both

[rotund lagoon]

Nov’s video is pretty good, I legit do not see how you can fail.

[frosty axle]

RNG has a way to make you fail no matter how good a team is

[rotund lagoon]

Oh I mean other than RNG, but yes lmao

Idk they could be giving up too easily, high af expectations.

[frosty axle]

but then again like my stall run rng was in my favour with potion refreshes

[verbal karma]

I tried to resort to powerful off types and that didn't work either

and reducing points is only a limited option

because I still wanna get a total of 9500 points

that's, like, the absolute requirement that is not allowed to budge even one millimeter

that means that if I reduce the points in R4 to 1.5k, R5 is absolutely required to be the full 2k

[rotund lagoon]

What’s wrong with 2k? Anyone can do it tbh

[tribal agate]

you can follow the linked video at the top for a full F2P Drasna 2k

if you don't have the roster, the aptitude or patience to follow on these videos then your sole option is to reduce points and take the loss this time.

[verbal karma]

I have the team of that linked Drasna 2k, but I can't check the video itself

[sonic blaze]

that video was cool, didn't think granbull's sync would do some juicy damage lol

[tribal agate]

Granbull is amazing

underrated

[rotund lagoon]

I can link you to my test runs.

[tribal agate]

why not?

[rotund lagoon]

#1073655215363985498

[verbal karma]

Youtube doesn't work for me most of the time

it's why I always ask for videos to be uploaded onto Discord directly

[sonic blaze]

do so!, tbh i have not used too much f2p units outside utility, so seeing something like granbull be usefull is abit of an eye opener lol, especially since i lack shit like bug/fairy dps xd.

[tribal agate]

i think you should seriously consider troubleshooting why one of the top 5 most used apps on the internet doesn't work properly for you

[rotund lagoon]

Right here!

[nocturne pawn]

it could be because of their location

[tribal agate]

don't think that's related, location matters for certain videos, not the app/site itself
it takes less data also than playing pmex if you're not on wifi
could be a bad install or hardware issue

[rotund lagoon]

I agree.

[nocturne pawn]

no i mean some countries just deny access to it

[rotund lagoon]

YT is an extremely accessible site

[verbal karma]

I should mention: Youtube itself works on my browser, it's the videos that fail to load for some reasons

[frosty axle]

I used Granbull often and Lillies Comfey usually

so didnt want to do the same thing as others

[tribal agate]

definitely try reinstalling the app if it's on mobile, could be some broken files

[sonic blaze]

pretty sure this has happened to me before with vevo or something, but the video directly tells u it can't be played in your country

it doesn't just randomly not load

[keen jasper]

Quite similar damage to my Nessa's sync a while ago

[tribal agate]

Night i think you're aware this isn't a flex thread but a help thread

[keen jasper]

Hmmmmm, fine

[verbal karma]

...and what if it's the browser itself?

Oh yeah, I can't seem to get good damage with Mina's sync...

[keen jasper]

It didn't crit

[grand steppe]

that didn't crit

[mellow linden]

Sync didn’t crit

[verbal karma]

ugh

[tribal agate]

did you sync with Syca first?

[grand steppe]

:dogpile:

[verbal karma]

I did sync with Syca first

[tribal agate]

i guess you did yeah mb i'm just blind

[keen jasper]

Screen effect

[verbal karma]

...man, I really don't wanna deal with sync crit RNG, tho

[mellow linden]

It’s 80% chance

Not a huge deal

[sonic blaze]

yeah, it ain't too bad

[nocturne pawn]

you have to deal with it because a lot of units dont have soften up

[verbal karma]

well, guess what: the 20% chance of it not critting...happened to me 5 times in a row

...is it really 20% at this point?

[mellow linden]

Welcome to Pokemon

[grand steppe]

Oh I've been watching diantha not crit, like 50 times in a row now. So I'm taking a break.

[sonic blaze]

that means the 6th time is prolly the charm

xD

[tribal agate]

since you don't have access to the video here is the checkpoint

https://i.imgur.com/9tYiOZd.png

[mellow linden]

Where Scald burns every other use

[tribal agate]

you should have a Moonblast prep'd to finish off mid after Mina syncs

[nocturne pawn]

ive had anni n not crit like 10 times in a row before with sync and thought my game was bugged

it just happens

also dont do r5 diantha with the r4 parameter

[verbal karma]

...wait, Mina's second sync doesn't kill Drasna there either

[nocturne pawn]

60% flinch is a menace to society

[verbal karma]

...that's kinda a requirement, though

[mellow linden]

Moonblast finishes the job

[tribal agate]

Sycamore kills Drasna

[sonic blaze]

you finish it off with syca moonblast

[mellow linden]

In the vid

[verbal karma]

oh

[tribal agate]

Sycamore has +3 crit and +6 spatk with Fairy Power

don't underestimate his dmg, he's clearing the sides

[verbal karma]

the one thing I was missing

[keen jasper]

[sonic blaze]

mina just does a heavy chunk ;v

[verbal karma]

okay, I gotta try again

[tribal agate]

you got it

[nocturne pawn]

sycamore is known for immortality with horn leech but fairy power 5 makes him decent for fairy damage too

[keen jasper]

And then the next attempt, Mina's sync doesn't crit

JK

[nocturne pawn]

bro dont

[keen jasper]

Ok, GL to you @verbal karma

And may your syncs crit everytime

Serious

[verbal karma]

...okay, Mina's sync critted this time, but now the problem was that Drasna dodged the last Play Rough before the second sync

and that's probably why Sycamore's Moonblast didn't kill

...fucking hell, that means I also have to deal with dodge RNG, too 😦

[tribal agate]

lemme just send the video on discord

[verbal karma]

nonono

no need for that

I at least know what to do

[tribal agate]

also yeah sadly there's some rng involved but that's what happens when we budget a lot

[verbal karma]

I just need to obtain the "do"

[keen jasper]

Why not use Mina's TM to copy Drasna's accuracy buff?

[tribal agate]

but there's a certain gratification in being able to tackle the litteral latest content with those kind of pairs

[verbal karma]

...I actually never noticed Drasna getting an accuracy buff?

[tribal agate]

i don't see it either

[keen jasper]

Oh

Must've mistaken it

[sonic blaze]

i imagine so, i get joy in LA cause of this topic ,but for master mode i just cheesed red in this particular stage ;v xd

[keen jasper]

Just making sure only, but does Mina have Critical Strike 2?

[verbal karma]

yes

[keen jasper]

And is her theme skill upgraded?

[verbal karma]

the fairy one? yeah

[keen jasper]

Fairy mainly

[tribal agate]

Mina's rotation is : charm > charm > charm > charm > play rough > play rough > sync

Sycamore is : TM > moonblast > moonblast/horn depending on state > sync > horn > moonblast > moonblast

Hop just spams TM with one MPR and potion as needed or free gauge

[keen jasper]

Just checked PoMa Tools, it seems that fairy-weak Drasna doesn't have X Attack All

[tribal agate]

ah yes mb it's fierce entry

edited

[umbral plaza]

ALMOST THERE

[keen jasper]

Yeah, Fierce Entry, so Terrify will be mitigated but 3 Charms will be enough to fully lower Drasna's attack

[tribal agate]

is that Drasna?

that's a super weird team

idk why i ask i litteraly see the fairy weak i'm tired

[keen jasper]

Not being picky or anything, but it would be better if you separated them by 1 space like this:
Mina

Sycamore

So that it will be easier to read

[verbal karma]

oh my FUCKING god!

[umbral plaza]

drasna is too fast needed joltik elesa endurance speed down

[verbal karma]

I finally manage to defeat Drasna, and what happens next?

fucking Rock Slide

flinches my ENTIRE party

ALL AT ONCE

[keen jasper]

It it to be expected

[tribal agate]

wdym Drasna is too fast

[keen jasper]

Double flinch chance by R4

[tribal agate]

she can't queue more than you

[keen jasper]

Sometimes the enemy will queue their sync even if there's no field wearing off

But it rarely happens to me

[tribal agate]

that's a complete non issue

[verbal karma]

at this point, I am tempted to replace all the lucky skills with unflappable JUST so I don't have to worry about RNG related to THAT as well

[grand steppe]

If you have a passive skill like Revenge boost trigger, the enemy will queue their move immediately.

[keen jasper]

My Calem is 1/5 and ungridded

CCalem that is

[tribal agate]

the speed down is unnecessary

[umbral plaza]

her attacks like thunderstorms to me lmao

[sonic blaze]

xD then u won't have enough damage from the lack of CS2 to kill her before sync :V

[tribal agate]

yeah don't get rid of CS2

[keen jasper]

Yeah, just weaken the sides with Sycamore

[tribal agate]

the flinches is unlucky considering the % chance but it gets better

[umbral plaza]

1/5 ss wally is a beast regretting not exing him

[tribal agate]

SS Wally at 1/5 is mainly there for zone support
so you'd have far more success putting a Mina or other Fairy you have there to benefit the zone and rebuff rather than relying on him

with very questionable supports

then again it's close-ish but it's really unorthodox imo, dunno if you're on 2k

[keen jasper]

SS Wally, the very first pokefair with 5/5 grids, also the very first one I went all out to 5/5

[verbal karma]

oh, just my luck, now Hop's TM MPR just refuses to trigger, no matter what

[tribal agate]

the game do be like that sometime lol

imagine LG players who streak at 149

[keen jasper]

Imagine F2P EB strat

[tribal agate]

keep going i'm sure it'll be ok

[manic kiln]

you can try this if you run out of options @verbal karma , the 1st one was good rng (got flinched 1-2 times), 2nd bad rng (flinched 3+ times) and still clear comfortably. no cs2 no crit luck
Kali grid for xdef mpr and stat leech. Lillie grid for satisfied snarl, trap n sync and double down, lucky skill mind games or def crush, mind games better for lillie sync and def crush better for sycamore heal. you probaby don't have that many 1* purple cookies so just get def crush
with both sp atk and atk debuff they can try to flinch all they want because their dmg will drop significantly, other than dragon rush spam under zone which is very rare they can't kill you
sync with sycamore first, then lillie everytime after, she can heal with her sync and help sycamore survive. this was very close to a stall run

[dim marsh]

I need a tip, I'm doing a 15K run and I have no fairy strikers

[tribal agate]

that's a very classy fairy team

[verbal karma]

honestly, I gotta agree

[keen jasper]

Mina or Valerie

Pick your poison

[dim marsh]

They can't do it tho, right?

[tribal agate]

15k?

[dim marsh]

Yea I find it fun

[verbal karma]

...I am kinda tempted to try Lost's team instead...but I already got so far with the Mina team...I'm not sure if I am ready to lose it all again with a new team...

[dim marsh]

I know it's useless

[tribal agate]

without fairy strikers and without knowing your roster, i'm afraid we can't do much

you'll have to rely on hyper carries that can off type

[manic kiln]

3k?, better off type

[verbal karma]

...okay, what are all the grids, Lost?

[dim marsh]

Ik, my best carries are probably SS Gio, Cynthia(Renegade), SSteven, Anni Red

And stuff like Gladion or Sidney that probably won't do much

[manic kiln]

wait a sec

[tribal agate]

probably give the params too if you can

since it's somewhat fairy stall? that's so funny

[keen jasper]

You have no crit buffer on your team...

[manic kiln]

no need to crit

[tribal agate]

who needs crit when you have synchro heal

[manic kiln]

[prime warren]

+1 sycamore crit

[manic kiln]

you can replace kali with like sonia tho

[prime warren]

So do it after expansion

[manic kiln]

but i think they need for diantha

[prime warren]

Wait a sec.....why no offtype?

[manic kiln]

i just do mono team so i used this

they failed to off type so

[dim marsh]

Is SSN worth candying 2/5 to 3/5?

[prime warren]

I remember they have shit like zygarde

[nocturne pawn]

they said zerena didnt work

[tribal agate]

i doubt SSN is gonna be able to off type 3k frankly
i can't say for certain, but i don't think it's a good investment

[nocturne pawn]

somehow

[prime warren]

Wut

If they can't make zygarde work
I wonder how that sycamore team would

[nocturne pawn]

idk either lol

[dim marsh]

Ok thanks

[manic kiln]

para: 6str, 3str, 2str ,1str, -gauge, crit def, gradual healing, -ally healing, no status, phys dmg reduction

[verbal karma]

...okay, removing Adrenaline on Sycamore is absolutely not an option, sorry...

[manic kiln]

this is post sync

[rotund lagoon]

You really think you should use that bias of all things?

[manic kiln]

sycamore grid is not that important

[verbal karma]

...oh...

[manic kiln]

use whatever you want

[tribal agate]

time to practice quad queue regardless

[verbal karma]

I thought this was pre-sync

[manic kiln]

did you not see 4-5 sync buffs

[verbal karma]

I somehow missed that part

[manic kiln]

i already said this was a very braindead and low rng and effort clear

no fancy pair no quadque no crit

if you can quadqueue it's good, more heal

[peak stirrup]

Both physical and special seemed to be weak vs Siebold.
But also my bug types are bad.

[sand karma]

He has sentry entry X2 which doubles his base defense
You need special attackers
Like SSHilbert, Lusamine, Burgh and Alder

[peak stirrup]

I used Alder

He’s only 1/5. Had to bring a speed buffer plus a MGA mon

Gauge was brutal

[sand karma]

Anything if it works

[hot shadow]

Mga? What's the team? Speed buffs should be enough

[peak stirrup]

SS Blue and Skyla

[umbral plaza]

as I said 1/5 ss Wally is a beast
need ex him asap (also cookie is super powered 3)
thanks to ss morty’s ex shield and healthy healing endurance speed down joltik elesa what bought me time
it was fun

[hot shadow]

Skyla is enough for gauge support

[verbal karma]

Drasna bested

but now Diantha is a problem

[frosty axle]

Solgaleo takes Diantha down quickly

[manic kiln]

was it hard or what with that team, but yeah diantha is a pain too

[verbal karma]

I actually did it with the Hop/Mina/Sycamore team

[manic kiln]

kek

[frosty axle]

Diantha was the easiest for me surprised people struggled

[manic kiln]

good for u

[gilded stream]

Got all 18 medals. Can I reset to play MM? Or should I wait for next weekly reset?

[manic kiln]

you can reset rn

[mellow linden]

You can reset, yeah

[verbal karma]

anyway, I am currently trying to do R5 Diantha with BP Surge/SS Elesa/Gloria using the R3 setting

[mellow linden]

Use Sonia instead of either SS Elesa or BP Surge

Depending on whether you want the more reliable Paralysis or the Sync accel

Since iirc your Sonia is 3/5, she’s way better at setting up Gloria’s buffs

[rotund lagoon]

Yeah bring in Sonia.

I literally told you earlier to use her.

[verbal karma]

but...she only has a 30% chance of paralysis?

and even if I were to use the R4 setting, that would still be only 60%

and that's not reliable enough for me either

[mellow linden]

So you could use her in place of SS Elesa and take advantage of Gloria’s Sync accel to negate the need for quadqueue

[verbal karma]

...but I need SS Elesa

[mellow linden]

For?

[rotund lagoon]

…no you don’t.

[verbal karma]

because I need both Gloria's Sync accel AND SS Elesa's sync accel

at the same time

[mellow linden]

No you don’t

[rotund lagoon]

You seriously, truly, unbelievably, do not.

[mellow linden]

You need only 1 Sync accel source to counteract being unable to quadqueue

[candid juniper]

Why would you need both.

[rotund lagoon]

Gloria’s sync accel is just fine.

[mellow linden]

Not quadqueueing puts you at 1 move behind if you’re aiming to Sync twice before the opponent Syncs once. Literally any form of Sync accel will set you back on track

[verbal karma]

to get syncs even faster

maybe even get 3 syncs in

[rotund lagoon]

Do you see where Cobalt is coming from?

You’re trying to do 10x more than necessary.

Stick to the necessities instead of doing wild strategies that make no sense.

[mellow linden]

You don’t need to Sync 3 times before the opponent Syncs, and the amount of MP Refreshes you’d need to be able to do that anyways is at a level where it surprises me that you’d even consider it

[frosty axle]

Here is my F2P run #1072581173546586194 message

[mellow linden]

Yeah, Poison stall for Drasna seems about right

[rotund lagoon]

Lol nice

[frosty axle]

thanks and ye as long as you live its easy enough

[rotund lagoon]

[verbal karma]

...so wait, BP Surge/Sonia/Gloria then?

I...guess I'll just try that then

[latent eagle]

collapses onto the floor

[verbal karma]

...nope

BP Surge/Gloria/Sonia isn't working out either

[mellow linden]

What specifically is going wrong?

Actually, quick question: is it you that has Classic Elesa, or am I thinking of someone else?

[verbal karma]

I actually do have Classic Elesa!

[mellow linden]

And you’re bothering with BP Surge why?

[verbal karma]

wait, who am I supposed to use instead?

I use BP Surge for guaranteed paralysis

[mellow linden]

Classic Elesa instead of BP Surge

Y’know, Paralyzes the entire opposing team in 1 turn?

[verbal karma]

[mellow linden]

Debuffs all stats except accuracy/evasion/crit when she hits a Paralyzed opponent?

[verbal karma]

oh, well, I won't be able to use the debuffs

[mellow linden]

Has built-in Sync accel so you can save Gloria’s Trainer Move for the sure crit?

[verbal karma]

but mass para is good enough for me

[mellow linden]

Just…turn off No Stat Reductions

[verbal karma]

and then have to give the enemies more HP? no thanks

[mellow linden]

Trust me, Classic Elesa’s debuffs will more than make up for it

If there is one thing you can trust me on, it is that I know how to use Classic Elesa in CS

[verbal karma]

so...is it bad that Classic Elesa is only 1/5?

[mellow linden]

No, her kit is basically complete at 1/5

[verbal karma]

ah, good

[mellow linden]

3/5 is some nice extras, but nothing vital

[verbal karma]

alright, understood

[rotund lagoon]

She does not need further move level grids.

[verbal karma]

ah, good

[paper summit]

Explain something to me, why do you ask for help and then refuse to listen to the advice we give you? Why waste our time? Honest question

[verbal karma]

I don't refuse to listen to every advice given to me

only specific ones

[paper summit]

Why?

I'm seriously asking here

[verbal karma]

because some of the stuff suggested is stuff I tried myself and didn't work

"Max HP ^2" in particular is a setting that doesn't work for me, like, 80% of the time

it just makes the enemy entirely too bulky, sadly...

[mellow linden]

I’m just gonna say that turning off No Stat Reductions not working in one situation, does not mean that it will fail to work in every situation

[rotund lagoon]

You need to adjust to the match.

And learn how each parameter affects it.

[mellow linden]

Especially when the pair in question you’re turning it off for basically makes the fight lol-tier when she can apply her debuffs

[rotund lagoon]

This game wants you to learn it and when you’re so focused on us making clears for you, it diverts your own brain away to learn.

This is how my brain is when I follow walkthroughs, I can actually prove this.

When I am stuck in a game and go “I’m pulling up a walkthrough.” I follow the thing and I instantly go braindead.

[mellow linden]

Gimme a sec, I’m gonna reset CS and go do a Gloria/Sonia/Classic Elesa run. Is your Sonia EX or nah?

[rotund lagoon]

Then I end up referring to said walkthrough more times than I can learn the game myself because of what it all entails.

[verbal karma]

okay, I tried Gloria/Classic Elesa/Sonia now, with the setting Cobalt suggested

sadly, I can't get to kill Diantha before she does her sync

which means it's not working out

hell, Gloria's sync attack, even when it crits, just hits like wet paper

I genuily get more damage from just Gloria's regular Behemoth Blade at that point

[mellow linden]

Does Diantha KO with her Sync?

[verbal karma]

yes

[mellow linden]

Is your Sonia EX? I’m about to test the team myself

[verbal karma]

nope, Sonia is not EX

[mellow linden]

Got it

No Syncing with my Sonia then

I do have a suggestion though

Try Syncing with Classic Elesa

Instead of Gloria

[verbal karma]

...wait, my Classic Elesa isn't EX'd yet either

what do I gain from that?

[mellow linden]

More Sync Base Power

[umbral plaza]

what’s your teams for siebold

[verbal karma]

...but Gloria's sync has more base power?

Gloria's sync has 220 base power

while Classic Elesa's sync has 200 base power

[rotund lagoon]

If you’re just wondering about what people used, did you check #1010274591601598555 ?

[paper summit]

Gloria doesn't have reliable multipliers, CElesa does, so the base BP difference isn't a big deal

Guess you have no clue how tech syncs work

[umbral plaza]

successfully killed him but his buddies finishing me and roundabout

[umbral plaza]

thanks for the idea!

[rotund lagoon]

So you need help?

Checking for fun is different than being like “Hey can you help me with this?”

So lemme know if it is help you need.

[mellow linden]

Classic Elesa has a really strong modifier

Gloria’s Sync modifier won’t come into play until after Diantha Syncs

[umbral plaza]

hmm I’m more into what strategies guys use for f2p teams or semi f2p with limited

[rotund lagoon]

Oh Gaming Eevee posted a F2P run.

[mellow linden]

Plus Classic Elesa can Sync with Electric Terrain active

[rotund lagoon]

#1072581173546586194 message

I’M A DOOFUS I SHOULD JUST LINK THE VID

https://youtu.be/tAfS2YMzgIM

[verbal karma]

ah, fair

[zealous karma]

Glad he was able to do it

[verbal karma]

damn

syncing with Classic Elesa first somehow gives me worse results

...maybe this team just doesn't work for me 😦

...actually, I only need 9.5k, not the full 10k...maybe I can remove some settings after all

yeah, I'll just remove "Max HP^2" and "Strength ^2" outright...not like I'll need them anyway

[umbral plaza]

the most successful team
every other bugs like lusamine, lodge dawn, viola and aaron playstyle was rather wacky
I don’t own Cynthia
dunno I’ll wait for the end of the week what else to experiment

also thanks for the patience poma community is warm and kind teehee

[verbal karma]

FUCK

almost won

[dim marsh]

In the end, I off-typed 3K with Red let's go

[verbal karma]

sadly, there's still one big problem left: Classic Elesa dies entirely too fast to AoE attacks

[zealous karma]

Apologies I assume youre fighting Diantha, I used gloria for this and her damage was quite good is your sonia ex?

[verbal karma]

I am fighting Diantha

and Sonia is not EX'd

[rotund lagoon]

They do not have Sonia EX

[zealous karma]

I see

Well I think gloria should still be fine

if sonia is 3/5

[rotund lagoon]

Can you not EX Sonia anyway?

[verbal karma]

nope

[zealous karma]

My gloria might be ex but jasmine did more for mein this fight

I forgot diantha had healthy advantage but the stage was still quite easy for Jasmine + Gloria

Would not recommend if Jasmine is not ex

[zealous karma]

Did you post in stage clears I would like to see it lel

[verbal karma]

okay, got better paralysis RNG this time

Diantha defeated with at least 9.7k points

which is good enough for me

[zealous karma]

isnt nuzzle guranteed paralysis

[verbal karma]

that's not what I meant

[zealous karma]

oh

[verbal karma]

what I meant is the enemy getting their move denied

[zealous karma]

I see oops

congrats on the clear

[verbal karma]

thanks

[zealous karma]

when my phone is charged I will attempt a F2P kalos

it seems some people are struggling and would prefer a more available option for others

[dim marsh]

No, let me make a post RQ

[verbal karma]

alright, now that I have finally EX'd a Sinnoh support sync pair, it's time to pick a Hoenn support sync pair that would be worth EX-ing...this is gonna be tough...

[rough sigil]

Finished my 10K run!

[mellow linden]

I'm like 90% sure it's doable, but it's difficult and a moot point now, so I'm calling it here

It'd be 100% doable with EX Sonia

[rough sigil]

?

[zealous karma]

epic

[mellow linden]

Clear I was testing before

Don't worry about it

[paper summit]

That's fine and all but you are not supposed to post this here

#1010274591601598555

[zealous karma]

I have ex sonia gloria and jasmine so maybe I shouldn't make a call on this but it was super easy, lel. Gloria was dealing like 8k through healthy advantage 4 lel

[mellow linden]

I was testing a clear for someone, don't worry about it lol

I whooped Diantha this morning with EX Sonia + EX Steven + (EX) Classic Elesa

[zealous karma]

Classic Elesa rerun when Dena I am going to cry

(preferably when I have gems)

Sync accel strats my beloved

[paper summit]

I cleared with Solgaleo as usual

[zealous karma]

Soga ex when

they alreasdy teased alola va

[bright furnace]

solgaleo ex with more mc customization

[rotund lagoon]

I DIDN’T REALIZE MM IS A SUPPORT COIN THIS MONTH, I AM SO CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO CANDY C CALEM

[mellow linden]

I have 2 Support candies' worth of coins rn thanks to that, am waiting for datamine before I decide how to use them

[rotund lagoon]

I have been waiting to candy Calem for two months, I just need this so bad

[dusty path]

Redlax maxes team SpDef with MPR RNG and maxes team Def with... A bit of effort... Bringing him above and below half HP 6 times

[dusty path]

||But it failed!||

[sonic blaze]

abit of effort hahaha, and yeah, just isn't as quick ;v, but i still really like it

[dusty path]

Nah unless you're running potato quality videos, YouTube is known to use way more data than most games. And while you're in a battle you don't need internet, it's just navigating menus pretty much

[tribal agate]

yes fair enough, i was thinking solely for that one video to watch at the time

[dusty path]

Why do you care about what region they're from? CS doesn't have the x5 stat multiplier based on theme skills

[dusty path]

I would suggest you use them to get the candies

[peak stirrup]

Man Siebold doesn’t die
I’d really not like to revert to frogs or rat but Alder/Bugsy (Scyther)/Skyla got smacked and it wasn’t close

[nocturne pawn]

he has like 30k hp with pre sync params and gradual healing

[peak stirrup]

He heals almost as much as I was doing with hyper beam

[nocturne pawn]

wait wut

alder should be doing more than that

did you pick hp up parameters

[peak stirrup]

He was doing about 3k

Healing about 2k

[nocturne pawn]

that sounds low

for hyper beam

[peak stirrup]

I was +6 SpAtk +3 crit

[nocturne pawn]

hm

well try debuffing spdef

you have lucian?

[peak stirrup]

No
He’s the only sinnoh e4 that’s evaded me

[nocturne pawn]

very unfortunate

[swift swan]

What's bugscy for?

[nocturne pawn]

if i had to guess mga

[peak stirrup]

MGA

[nocturne pawn]

though with skyla you shouldnt really struggle with gauge so he could be redundant

and hes a physical supporter

[peak stirrup]

Alder maxes his own SpAtk
Doesn’t need someone to do that for him

[swift swan]

You can forego that with skyla on the team

Get sp def debuffer

[peak stirrup]

Don’t have Lucian or Pal dawn

[swift swan]

Mind games koga then

Or just another damage dealer

[nocturne pawn]

if i had ss morty i couldve used burgh

but no

330 scout points and he didnt show up

[peak stirrup]

I have both those

[trail smelt]

I used LDawn/Alder/Aaron and crushed Siebold comfortably. I even played dumb and got sync’d and they lived with HP to spare lol

[peak stirrup]

Ldawn?

[nocturne pawn]

lodge dawn

[trail smelt]

Lodge

[nocturne pawn]

wormadam

[peak stirrup]

Oh

[hot shadow]

Who do you sync with on that team?

[peak stirrup]

I synced with Skyla then Alder but Alders sync is garbage.
I switched to SS Elesa for Bugsy but still wasn’t close after both Skyla and Elesa sync (both EX)

Didn’t even kill Starmie

[hot shadow]

2k params?

[peak stirrup]

Yeah presync

But he synced anyway

Wasn’t close

[trail smelt]

EX Skyla?

[peak stirrup]

I could try endlessly until I get MPR on breathtaking

Both Skyla and SS Elesa

Pretty much every team is subway bros or rats

[zealous karma]

I can’t get past round one lel

[zealous karma]

Beat round one hop bruno and Korrina are goated

[bright furnace]

F2P 10k?

[zealous karma]

Ye lel

This is a bit rough

[paper summit]

The fact you didn't reset the first time of no crit...

[bright furnace]

Good luck

Lol

Hope you have enough battery life

[bright furnace]

Wow there was no crit lol

[zealous karma]

lel

Wow Cyrus Vs Malva isn’t any better

This is pain!

[paper summit]

skill issue

[swift swan]

what

[paper summit]

But for real, how are you struggling? That makes no sense

[swift swan]

Rain boosted Cyrus failing water-weak?

[paper summit]

Are you still refusing to reset if no crit? Grid Sharp Entry ffs

[swift swan]

I always have Sharp Entry on him lol

[zealous karma]

I don’t grid it on him because what if this video reaches someone who doesn’t have Pb Cyrus

It’s why I refuse to use SwiMisty or CGio

[swift swan]

pre-powerboost cyrus should still be fine

[zealous karma]

He hits 9K but can’t one shot sides

I’ve never had worse crit focus luck

Im@going until their sync when j crit

[prime warren]

Just bring crit support at this point

[zealous karma]

There’s like 4 F2P crit buffers who can also tank special Atk 🐴

I bring a crit buffer and suddenly Winona can’t flinch

Love aoe moves ❤️

Im going to have to waste SSB on this

I had to waste SSB for a water stage

And it was still difficult

Going to die irl

Im going to have to use a lodge unit :/

A

I’m screaming and crying and it’s not even 3K!

[dusty hamlet]

this cs is pretty fun acttually im very surprised

[prime warren]

Use more PUs for Mina

Ez

[zealous karma]

Im not 20/20’ing my mina 💀

I already hade to make her 5*

[candid juniper]

I have a novel idea for you

What if you 20/20 Mina?

[grand steppe]

pray team shout doesn't activate and you can quad queue

[prime warren]

But 20/20 Mina can clear

[grand steppe]

I cleared with Hop & Sycamore, and my mina was 4*

is this one of your 3ks?

[prime warren]

Well he's probs saving hop for someone else

[zealous karma]

I have to pray I don’t get fully paralyzed 2 times I. A row

[prime warren]

That doesn't look like 3k

[zealous karma]

That salamance might as well have hostile environment because it feels like it

[zealous karma]

Im not insane I’d never do 3K F2P

[prime warren]

I also got destroyed by waterfall flinch in my SCemmet run

[swift swan]

0/20 Mina can clear

https://youtu.be/Win2_EhcirI

[prime warren]

But that's using hop

[zealous karma]

Im getting very unlucky

[prime warren]

And hop has real dps

Unlike surge

[swift swan]

my Hop was busy healing and buffing most turns

he only got to use behemoth bash once

[prime warren]

That 1 behemoth bash hits harder than anything bp surge pulls off

[zealous karma]

Also discord and apple suck

[swift swan]

but it's barely relevant. I won with Mina nuke and Sycamore DPS helping. Hop could've had no freevenge there and the result would still be the same

[grand steppe]

I mean Surge is almost Hop, just no potions. Did syca need potion to live?

[zealous karma]

No he doesn’t

This is why I can’t clear the stage btw

If the videos want to send

39 MB hype love my phone

[grand steppe]

I delete stuff as I record, I don't keep the failures.

[zealous karma]

Why is it

Uploading

The full video

Bdkakdkssksksks

If he didn’t get fully paralyzed the turn before

[grand steppe]

You need to save as new clip.
if you share a clip you trimmed down, it will upload the whole video

Apple stores the entire video on your phone (because of the Revert Option)

[zealous karma]

It didn’t work like that before

Crying

Im going to cry

I accidentally closed the app

I’ve never had worse luck

In my life

What’re the odds of getting paralyzed and flinched this game is very funny

[grand steppe]

33% iirc

[zealous karma]

Paraflinch hype

[swift swan]

what are the odds of paralysis on 3 opponents again?

[grand steppe]

How much strength?

I only used +7 in my clears.

[prime warren]

If it's 30% chance on opponent side, then it's 90% chance to proc
If it's 90% chance on our side then it's 9% chance to proc
True rng moment

[zealous karma]

Strength 12 cause I’m stubborn

[grand steppe]

-_-

[zealous karma]

I inflict pain on myself

This is just like smash ultimate

[prime warren]

Then inflict more self pain

20/20 Mina

[grand steppe]

this is the equivalent of tying bricks to your thumbs and trying to play Smash

[zealous karma]

I ran out of Pu’s

Because I EX’d lusamine for the all Ex CS run which I forgot to post

[grand steppe]

uh, if this wasn't a joke, it's the % of the secondary move effect divided by 2 (or x0.5).

[swift swan]

Mina needs as little bulk as possible

[grand steppe]

Discharge is 15% of applying to 3 targets.
20% to 2 targets.
30% to 1 target.

[zealous karma]

I almost won

I ALMOSY GOT OT WOOOOOO

Didn’t even need to quad queue

Doable!

Mina missed two play roughs in a row so I got ah gottem ggs’d

[swift swan]

alr noted, thanks

[zealous karma]

Inchresting

[grand steppe]

AOE Penalty applies to the secondary effects of moves that apply a status condition.
AOE Penatly DOES NOT apply to secondary effects of moves that debuff a stat.

[zealous karma]

Wow premium fairy units are really dumb in comparison to F2P

Til

[swift swan]

first time?

[grand steppe]

Calem do you have 1/5 Diantha?

[zealous karma]

When you get flinched by an enemy and no passive procks is it the same as quad queueing to require another move

I do

Calem

[swift swan]

here we go

[grand steppe]

Is she EX?

[swift swan]

[zealous karma]

Yes

[grand steppe]

okay, do the stage without 5* supports. :3

[zealous karma]

Without interesting

[prime warren]

I used my diantha with redlax for drasna

[zealous karma]

Lucky for me I have head start on my Roxanne

[grand steppe]

Without limited units. BP Lodge are okay

[zealous karma]

Time for double propulsion procks

[grand steppe]

But no spotlights.

[zealous karma]

Idk who the lodge units are

[prime warren]

Can Roxanne tank enuff hits from drasna?

[grand steppe]

She has Endure.

But it will only last enough for pre-sync typically.

[prime warren]

Well 1/5 Diantha can presync but need support ex

[grand steppe]

I'd imagine, Lodge Dawn & Lillie would be the only useful ones for Diantha.

[zealous karma]

I used dawn ye

[dusty path]

Yeah TLDawn is a good special support

[zealous karma]

https://streamable.com/ol6r1t
Wasn’t able to pre sync but kinda comfy

[grand steppe]

I asked if 1/5.

Ungrid everything in 2/5.

[zealous karma]

Kk

She gets 2 sync toles at 2/5 I didn’t know that

[grand steppe]

Also, no flinches please.

[nocturne pawn]

god this sucked

i hate auroras with a burning passion

[zealous karma]

Dying irl

[dusty path]

BPMorty lives at 1 HP "it was kinda comfy"

[grand steppe]

It's just a test a lot of mods did. We want to see what you think.
1/5 Diantha, no flinches or sync accel. With f2p units.

[dusty path]

Diantha is sync accel

[grand steppe]

You'd have to be really lucky to get -3 in a single cycle.

[dusty path]

Ah still 3 move cycles

[grand steppe]

and even then, it'd be the 3rd cycle

[dusty path]

I mean... even getting one lets you sync earlier and have more gauge for after the sync

[grand steppe]

True, which is useful for quad

[dusty path]

Yea

[swift swan]

aaaand the diantha tests continue

[grand steppe]

[zealous karma]

I forgot skyla had staggering

So o had to reste

And I was one mb from winning

But this isn’t that bad

I know the point sages is trying to make but my diantha is 150 Ex lel

[grand steppe]

skyla and who was 3rd

Are you doing pre-sync btw?

[zealous karma]

Im running my pre sync params against a post sync fight lel

But it’s still easy

Im still using Ldawn

[paper summit]

You are using Strength 12 again, aren't you?

[prime warren]

Just use serena coz kalos ticket

[zealous karma]

I memed at the end and still

LDawn is funny she cleared the sides for diantha

https://streamable.com/s97lyq

[minor blaze]

hi

do you think i can go through with the units i have?

[dusty path]

Hard mode? Yeah, you'll get it done

[minor blaze]

just regular i think, i want to get champion spirit

[zealous karma]

I think it’ll be a bit tough

[bright furnace]

Bruh I thought you had 1/5 diantha not 2/5

[zealous karma]

Once you get your 18 types complete I’d just aim for 4K as to it new and it’s comfier

[minor blaze]

i tried so many times, idk if the pair i used is not working or something

[dusty path]

As always, and everyone has to, you might need to try again, reset a battle a few times, but yeah everyone has to at some point

[zealous karma]

I candied her lel

[bright furnace]

No wonder I’m fainting all the time lol

[minor blaze]

or im just weak

[zealous karma]

Oh I did

[minor blaze]

💀

[zealous karma]

I candied diantha like yesterday lel

[bright furnace]

My 1/5 diantha is like not staying alive

[zealous karma]

Kalos is on the top 3 most difficult cs regions lel

[bright furnace]

I’m tempted to off type

And yeet this drasna

[zealous karma]

It doesn’t feel to bad maybe cause mine is ex

[dusty path]

Yes, but... Hard mode without trying to get all the type medals sounds doable

[bright furnace]

…I just ex my 1/5 diantha lol

[grand steppe]

EX adds the stats. But your kinda cheating with 2 supports. But I'm not gonna make you redo it.

[zealous karma]

Try using LDawn (o assume you have her) and Sselesa

[minor blaze]

its just on a certain moment they will crit an 800, damage on my out of somewhere lmao

[dusty path]

I meant because there is the option of Hard mode or Master mode... Which it looks like you haven't unlocked just yet

[zealous karma]

Or ssbrendan if he has double adrenaline

Not adrenaline head start

[bright furnace]

No vigil???

[zealous karma]

I don’t run vigilance in my Brendan

[dusty path]

You do have to look through the stage modifications/parameters (like iirc Diantha has a passive that reduces damage by 50% if she doesn't have a status condition)

[bright furnace]

Having a bad run with diantha, first LG now this

[minor blaze]

this makes my % of winning slimmer 💀💀💀

[zealous karma]

The teams I have been trying for CS and think will work for you, if you can grid them albeit which I doubt you can because early game orbs are rare but,
Wikstrom: Bruno Korrina Hop
Malva: Cyrus (no power boost) Rosa Winona (only Cyrus wants grid here)
Drasna: BPSurge (any crit buffer) Sycamore mina (or a SpDef debuffer for sycamore)
Bug: not sure yet
Steel: Masked Royal Slowgaleo a crit buffer

[bright furnace]

Tempted to rock zone this drasna lol

[dusty path]

Just gotta plan around it, like put in BPSurge (Raichu) to the team, or someone else that has a status infliction... Or use Solgaleo (Sunsteel Strike can ignore this passive) or N (a passive called Piercing Blows, which does the same)

[zealous karma]

Cheating with double support? lel id use this team normally if I didn’t have PSerena or Ssbrendan lel

Im not using Valerie ever lel

Well for a double strike comp alongside diantha lel

[minor blaze]

the bug type is what ever i do is keep stomping me even i pray on many gods

[bright furnace]

Azumarill is more useful than Valerie

I ain’t ever using sylveon

[zealous karma]

she is a support so granted

[swift swan]

I mean, they do different stuffs

Kali is a support. Valerie is meant to be a striker

[bright furnace]

You get what I mean

[zealous karma]

I do lel

[swift swan]

Valerie tanked Latias in my Cerena/Valerie duo so she's valid!

[bright furnace]

Yeah but richu and I don’t go for streaks lol

[zealous karma]

It doesn’t look like you have lucian or bianca, so maybe try cold snap Ghetsus grid alongside skyla, you’re new so I do highly recommend grinding lodge if you’re not already lel

A lot of support units do offer crit buffs which are amazing early on and some lodge units are good

[bright furnace]

Ok let’s try attempt 15 at 1/5 EX diantha

[dusty path]

Just because you don't go for streak doesn't mean a unit you use isn't useful for someone else

[zealous karma]

Wth

My diantha artemps of sages challenging me took me one lel

[bright furnace]

Or else I’m sending in the electric rodents

[zealous karma]

HECK

I forgot to exit the stage before I beat it with diantha

Have to reset these painful F2P clears

[minor blaze]

is there anyway to get champion spirit aside CS?

[swift swan]

currently this is the only mode that gives it

[bright furnace]

How many hours into F2P clear lol

[swift swan]

we had neo champion stadium a few months back

[minor blaze]

i came way too late 🥲

[zealous karma]

I woke up at 8 and started at 9 so only 1 hour

[minor blaze]

maybe i will wait for better chances, i think i obviously lack in many manners

[grand steppe]

I should've just played with +12 strength lel
my frustrations were in trying to kill Drasna pre-sync

[zealous karma]

I see

And this is why strength 12 is the best params!

[bright furnace]

I haven’t seen Sages use lel before

[zealous karma]

(Maybe not for an F2P clear)

lel>>>>lol

[swift swan]

smh Mina presynced Drasna with full offense just fine

[bright furnace]

Lol

[grand steppe]

I was mocking it.

[prime warren]

Can I abuse shit like darach or ssblue

Pain

[bright furnace]

[zealous karma]

I play a different game than everyone else

How is drasna nkt debuffed in Spatk

[prime warren]

I picked param for that

For so 1 less str

[dusty path]

If you try and it's not working, sure... Just upgrade your roster and get pairs like Trainer Lodge and Battle Points units

[bright furnace]

Move level your SS Brendan, richu?

[zealous karma]

Mines 3/5

[bright furnace]

Ah 1/5

[swift swan]

also make sure you understand basic gameplay. triple queue, buffing, quadqueue if possible, setting up your sync moves

[zealous karma]

Ye to what November said

[bright furnace]

Tempting

[zealous karma]

I recommended some teams for you here cat btw

3/5 ssbrendan is very worth I highly recommend 🦦

[bright furnace]

I mean I got 3 support candies and 1 general one

Lol

[zealous karma]

Im not sure on which types or if you cleared CS at all last week so I didn’t exactly optimize on that front of you need 15 types I will recommend new teams

[minor blaze]

i copy it on my notepad

[zealous karma]

Oh alr

[bright furnace]

Screw it let’s do it for the memes clear

[minor blaze]

im on my way there 🥲

[swift swan]

you won't regret candying SS Brendan even for the memes

[bright furnace]

I held out even longer for SS Morty

But they both 3/5 now

[swift swan]

champion stadium is end-game content, and Kalos is pretty challenging, so no rush if you're having trouble rn

[zealous karma]

A lot of new players including myself struggle with CS at first because it is a large jump in difficulty and I cannot imagine starting with Sinnoh/Kalos/Hoenn as they are very difficult you have all week so do not be afraid to take your time and enjoy the game You can always due the event battles or the legendary adventure battles to practice skills such as quad or even triple queuing as they tend to be on the easier side, with Kalos I do recommend taking time with it lel

[prime warren]

Kalos feels noticably harder

[swift swan]

players starting out with Sinnoh/Hoenn/Kalos are built different

I didn't have trouble with kalos this week but maybe next week it will kick my ass, who knows
