Champion Stadium

[verbal karma]

I still need SS Elesa because of the stupid R5 gimmick

[rigid flint]

Ehh not really

You can just go Zerena, Lucas and Winona

Or go Raihan

They can tank well enuf since they only need to last half a cycle

[verbal karma]

I should mention my progress with the team I currently have

With good MPR luck on SS Elesa's TM, I can beat Cynthia (but only after Cynthia already synced), only for the sides to OHKO everyone

[formal vigil]

Try ss serena instead

[verbal karma]

However, in order for me to beat Cynthia, I would need two MPRs on SS Elesa's TM

[rigid flint]

Are you trying to do a support ex sync with this stage?

[verbal karma]

If I only gez obe MPR, then Zinnia won't survive Cynthia's sync

[verbal karma]

Yeah

SS Elesa is EX support and has sync accel

[rigid flint]

Oh yeah no that's not advisable

[verbal karma]

...oh 😦

[rigid flint]

Go Zerena, Lucas and AnniRaihan

Raihan can change the weather, Lucas can set dragon zone

Zerena just has to use her tm, dire hit+ and use thousand waves then sync

[verbal karma]

...wait, who tanks?

[rigid flint]

AnniRaihan

[verbal karma]

There is no support

[rigid flint]

He can last half a sync cycle

[formal vigil]

Do you have any weather setting supports?

[rigid flint]

There aren't many weather setting supports

There's SS Morty, Ingo and uh PalBea I think

Oh and KriSS

[swift swan]

Ss morty, ingo, ss kris, ccalem

[formal vigil]

Ss accerola

[rigid flint]

Can't forget her

[formal vigil]

Ss mina

[swift swan]

We're getting more and more

[rigid flint]

True

Still remember when Ingo was the first support to be able to summon weather

[formal vigil]

Lyra though

[rigid flint]

Lyra has to sync

I meant summon like having a weather setting move

[manic kiln]

I just ignore the weather

[tidal zephyr]

i mean theres blaine

[hushed sorrel]

I'm just needing some help on who to invest in for champion stadium, hoping for advice for these typing.

Also... is level 120 going to be enough?

[old orchid]

its better to send your whole roster

by using this site

+tracker

[frozen depot]

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

For newcomers/beginners, check the video below on how to properly showcase your pairs : https://i.imgur.com/A0XcAgZ.mp4

[old orchid]

and yes lvl 120 is enough

[hushed sorrel]

Ok let me do some work first

[hushed sorrel]

do I give you the code?

[old orchid]

there is no code

[keen jasper]

Code for what?

[old orchid]

click on Image button, then copy the image at the bottom of the site

[old orchid]

you are doing hard mode right?

[hushed sorrel]

Yea

I want to un lock master

[old orchid]

what types are you still missing?

[reef raptor]

Hi can someone help me with champion stadium

[hushed sorrel]

I'm just getting help right now 😂

[reef raptor]

I also need help

[hushed sorrel]

What do you need help with

[reef raptor]

Flint

I don't have rock types so ye

And I just used Leaf to defeat Lucian so my main supporter is gone

[hushed sorrel]

I only beat hard mode I used Cyrus

Haha not sure if you are doing masters

[reef raptor]

I never beat champion stadium before

[hushed sorrel]

My first time last week haha

Do you have all the legendary tanks?

[reef raptor]

No but I have most of them

[hushed sorrel]

Sycamore hop

[reef raptor]

I don’t have the patience for collecting them

I have sycamore and hop yes

[hushed sorrel]

Sycamore is op

Also did you pick up blastoise?

[reef raptor]

Nop

[hushed sorrel]

Blastoise from the quest

[reef raptor]

I don't have patience for quests or story

I did do story but it's so painstaking

[hushed sorrel]

Haha do it first just pml for all badges then all the 2nd one and legend

Get a ton of upgrades

[toxic cobalt]

3 options:
1: Use Roark
2: Offtype
3: Poison stall

[reef raptor]

I have roark

[toxic cobalt]

But you might not have the needed for him

[reef raptor]

Btw if youre wondering this was the team I used for lucian

Ez sweep

[toxic cobalt]

CMarnie is strong

[reef raptor]

Whats that item

[hushed sorrel]

Sync orb

[reef raptor]

What does it do

[hushed sorrel]

To upgrade grid

[reef raptor]

Oh

I dont do sync grids so I have a ton of sync orbs lmao

Just been silently collecting them

[hushed sorrel]

Dude just sounds like you got a ton of upgrades accessible that you should use

[reef raptor]

But idk anything about sync grids

[hushed sorrel]

You can just copy paste from a document

+grid

Haha don't know the command sec

[toxic cobalt]

+grid list

Sigh

Without the space

[reef raptor]

[toxic cobalt]

Anyway, the first stage for CSMm is to select one striker for each level

[hushed sorrel]

https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1006618823123800106

[hushed sorrel]

That's a good tip actually let me try that

And build the support around then to unlock masters

[old orchid]

[hushed sorrel]

I'm picturing you with your lab coat right now and conjuring the best recipes for my roster 😂

These haha

[old orchid]

sorry got carried away, have you got the teams yet?

[hushed sorrel]

Nah not yet but I was going to try and then get your feedback

If you haven't started

[old orchid]

i havent started yet

[nocturne pawn]

you can finish the medal this week at least

but its gonna take some effort

poison and ground will most likely be filler pairs

[hushed sorrel]

I guess I'll use the hippo

[nocturne pawn]

you can use bertha against flint

[hushed sorrel]

The Cynthia is underwhelming or I don't know how to use it

[old orchid]

based on your roster, i think you should tackle Bertha first

SS Erika with infinite sun

[hushed sorrel]

O how do you do infinite sun

[old orchid]

fight anyone on R1

its parameter is perma field

[hushed sorrel]

I think I'll do a team with sir farfetched

[old orchid]

or use Maylene as a support

wait your duck is 3/5

she can offtype some stages with more effort

[hushed sorrel]

Flying I guess skyla

Everyone keeps talking about her

[old orchid]

Skyla is a good defense tank

you can use her on Flint

especially when you have Olivia / Roark

you can try crafting teams first, then we will give feedbacks on them

[hushed sorrel]

Olivia is so much cooler but is Roark better?

[old orchid]

Roark has higher dps

but he needs full grid and 4* at least

and crit support

[hushed sorrel]

Too expensive for me 😂

[old orchid]

while Olivia just needs little support and Inertia tile at 2/5

[nocturne pawn]

isnt his nuke on par with olivia’s

[old orchid]

Olivia is higher

[nocturne pawn]

oh

[old orchid]

when both are 5/5

[nocturne pawn]

is dragon weak cynthia anything to worry about even with half sync

[old orchid]

just replace her sand

[hushed sorrel]

Give me a tip on ghost and poison haha it's not obvious

[rigid flint]

Serena and Lucas simply did not care about Cynthia's 50% boost to her SpDef 😭

[nocturne pawn]

wait she has wise entry?

or is that a sand thing

[rigid flint]

No her sand boosts her spdef

[old orchid]

Ghost: Phoebe is a nice crit support, Acerola has sand and 60% flinch
Poison: Lucy

[old orchid]

she has Sand Screen

[nocturne pawn]

if you have bp morty or phoebe thats a pretty easy ghost pair

and lucy yeah

[cinder summit]

Sand Screen

The user's Sp. Def increases 50% during a sandstorm.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Cynthia & Garchomp

If you like the bot, consider becoming a Patron: https://patreon.com/PoryphoneBot

[nocturne pawn]

oh i see its like glacia’s ice shell

[rigid flint]

Ye

[hushed sorrel]

OK here it is

Bea / Bertha / Aaron
Olivia / Lucy / Skyla
Sneasel / Glaceon / Eevee
Sycamore / Arcerola / Alakazam

[rigid flint]

Seems quite good

Wait hold on

[old orchid]

move Bertha to Olivia's team, and move Lucy to Bea team

[main crow]

Cyrus under zone doesn't care either

[old orchid]

since you want to use Olivia on FLint stage

[rigid flint]

For Sycamore, Acerola and Alakazam, who's attacking and which stage is this for?

[rigid flint]

Zone moment hehe

[hushed sorrel]

I dont know hahah I needed fairy and psychic somewhere

but I thought Sycamore can be main striker?

[old orchid]

only on Fairy weak stage

[rigid flint]

Unless you're planning to just use Horn Leech off type

[hushed sorrel]

then what if I mewtwo arcerola sycamore?

[rigid flint]

That works better

[old orchid]

can you note which team are you going to use on which stages?

[rigid flint]

Since Mewtwo does big damage

[hushed sorrel]

I havent thought that far hahaha

Flint - olivia / bertha / skyla
Aaron - Im guessing this team is weaker to special? SS Silver / Irida / Eevee
Bertha - Bea / Lucy / Aaron
Lucian - Mewtwo / Arcerola / Sycamore

[rigid flint]

Ok swap Aaron's and Lucian's team around

Aaron sets sun so he does quite a bit of damage

[hushed sorrel]

o ok

[old orchid]

Lucian has double spdef

[rigid flint]

And that too

[hushed sorrel]

o gg

[rigid flint]

SS Silver can easily do a lotta damage since ice zone is there to boost him

[hushed sorrel]

then need Bea against that team

[old orchid]

you can do something like Phoebe / The Masked Royal / Lucian on Lucian

they cover 3 types

[hushed sorrel]

whats masked royal I have that?

[old orchid]

Incineroar

[rigid flint]

Guy with Incineroar

[cinder summit]

The Masked Royal & Incineroar

Acquisition:

General Pool
Ticket Scout
Ticket Scout (Alola)

Alternates:

Kukui & Lycanroc

[hushed sorrel]

o sheeet I forgot about dark

[old orchid]

he doesnt need grid much but its nice if you can grid him

[rigid flint]

Yep

[old orchid]

for Bertha, you can do Adaman/SS Erika - Skyla - Lucy

[hushed sorrel]

then I kinda need to take an ice out for Xerneas or I can use him for Cynthia

[old orchid]

Cynthia needs changing weather so you can use Candice for hail

[hushed sorrel]

What about Pikachu haha

For Cynthia

Save my ace card

[rigid flint]

Ash?

[hushed sorrel]

Red

[rigid flint]

Ah

[old orchid]

is your SS Red fully gridded?

if yes, try Aaron, him and a filler type on Aaron

[hushed sorrel]

sst red? its currently conductivity

[old orchid]

no

[hushed sorrel]

ss red is haymaker

[old orchid]

Charizard one

only Haymaker? thats fine

Bertha: Adaman/SS Erika - Melony- Lucy. Recommend doing this team on R1
Lucian: Phoebe - The Masked Royal - Lucian
Flint: Olivia - Bertha - Skyla
Aaron: Aaron - Bea - Sycamore tanking
Cynthia: Leaf - SST Red/Ash - Candice/Irida

do i miss any type?

Cynthia's sync move is Ground type right?

[rigid flint]

Yes

[old orchid]

it might be rough for 2 rats but its hard mode so i think its doable

[rigid flint]

Seeing as this isn't MM I think it should be fine

[hushed sorrel]

ice

[old orchid]

oh yes Ice

[rigid flint]

Ash and Red will probably destroy the stage

[hushed sorrel]

normal

[old orchid]

i think you can use Melony on Bertha

[hushed sorrel]

could sneasel fit in the grass team lol

[old orchid]

Melony is better since she can tank

Leaf - SST Red/Ash - Candice then

wait that means Fairy is missing

[old orchid]

updated

[hushed sorrel]

Ok lets see
Bertha - Erika / Lucy / Melony
Lucian - Masked / Lucian / Phoebe
Aaron - SS Red / Maylene / Aaron
Flint - Olivia / Berth / Skyla
Cynthia - need Sycamore

[old orchid]

you can check my plan

[hushed sorrel]

so we take out SSR for Bea

feel like a mssive downgrade hahah

how come sycamore cant tank Cynthia

[old orchid]

yeah but the defend is upgraded

i just want to slot a Normal type

Leaf boosts master passive as well

you can replace Candice with Irida ofc

[hushed sorrel]

o yea missing normal

could Eevee tank Cynthia?

[rigid flint]

Yep

[hushed sorrel]

would 1/5 adaman 120 be better than 2/5 erika 135?

lol

[old orchid]

he is

[rigid flint]

Probably much much better

[hushed sorrel]

o dang really

[nocturne pawn]

does masked royal have pecking order and relentless?

[rigid flint]

He'll clear the stage in seconds due to how much damage he does

[rigid flint]

I think so but I'm not too sure

[hushed sorrel]

so erika is now redundant I guess

[rigid flint]

I do know he has Pecking Order tho cos his passives relate around debuffing attack

[old orchid]

at base he has 150% sync multiplier

and his grid offers Pecking Order

[rigid flint]

No she's still rlly good

[old orchid]

you can run them together for huge boost but you are missing too many types

[nocturne pawn]

wow i fucking got crit by a 4% megahorn

thanks game

fuck you too

[hushed sorrel]

Let's goooo

Lololol need to do this co-op mission to grind exp

btw thank you yall

[nocturne pawn]

why did anni n only do 14k with maxed devastation pecking order and supp ex on aaron 💀

you sure this thing doesnt have wise entry x2

never mind i just had special damage reduction

ignore my dumbass

[dusty yarrow]

I mean... it still deals more damage than Flint so

[formal vigil]

Surprised he hit that hard with that param on

[dusty yarrow]

Im still finding a single player who used Flint for fire weak

[nocturne pawn]

i mean i just hit 75k

the 14k must’ve been a good damage roll

[dusty yarrow]

I mean... he (Flint) dealt 13k+ Sync during my first runs... (and that's with Sun and +2 Sync Buff)

[nocturne pawn]

ok so it was 80% dr that means multiply it by 5 to get the original damage right

[low linden]

Is Bertha like really weak to physical or what lol

[old orchid]

No

You just brought overkill pairs

[low linden]

Yeah I guess so

Adaman really putting too much work

[nocturne pawn]

tbh even ss erika is overkill

[dusty yarrow]

I've seen people even do Solo-Adaman against Bertha

[nocturne pawn]

2.5k?

[dusty yarrow]

as long as you counter the Sandstorm gimmick, Bertha is pretty much dead...

[nocturne pawn]

yeah legit bertha definitely fees like the easiest sinnoh e4

so much of her fight is centered around sand

[grand trout]

Man

I finished CS with 12.45k points

Just because i unchecked sp damage reduction at Cynthia 😭

I had to redo it all over again

[keen jasper]

How TF does Flint queue a sync by just having Sunny Day?

[grand trout]

Maybe quad denial?

Did you set weather beforehand?

[keen jasper]

No

[grand trout]

Weird

[dusty yarrow]

It does always set Sunny Day before it sync... idk Im a bit confused

[keen jasper]

Yes

Also, I finally figured out why Flint can sync

[nocturne pawn]

quick tempo?

[keen jasper]

It's because of Bertha's Stealth Rock

[nocturne pawn]

lmao

[dusty yarrow]

I did used Bertha against Flint... didn't notice that or smth... (maybe because I was in Perma-Field Param)

[nocturne pawn]

that would be it

[grand trout]

Wait what

Stealth rock denies quad queue?

[dusty yarrow]

also, unless if you're running Lounge Steven or an off-type Special Attacking unit... this Wise Entry x 2 Flint Rock Weak has...

[grand trout]

WAIT WHAT

THAT'S WHY SPECIAL CLUE WASN'T DOING SHIT

[dusty yarrow]

Maybe the Damage tick from the Stealth Rock denies it... idk

[grand trout]

LMAO

[keen jasper]

It's because of resistance passive queueing

[tame gust]

Tmw you have striker zerker but it’s 2 passives.

[nocturne pawn]

bruh

[tame gust]

Also haha. Wise Entry Lucian. SC Zinnia go Brrrrr

[keen jasper]

The resistance passive triggering is what makes Flint able to queue his sync

[grand trout]

I thought only lucian has entryx2 this week

[keen jasper]

He is the only one with entry x2 this week

[grand trout]

Wait im so confused

[old orchid]

Cynthia kinda has Wise Entry x2 under sand. Only 50% boost tho

[dusty yarrow]

Flint Rock has Wise Entry x2

[grand trout]

So what does fhis mean

[dusty yarrow]

but we always run Physical against him XD

[keen jasper]

But does it matter?

Exactly

[grand trout]

Lmao anni raihan shredded her regardless

[keen jasper]

It's more like Wise Entry x1.5

[dusty yarrow]

its like Steel Weak Bertha side having Wise Entry x3... most of the Steel we run are Physical

[grand trout]

And yes i fought her under sandstorm still

[keen jasper]

Also, I'm at R4 Lucian, all 3 previously done at 3.9k pts.

[tame gust]

So can Roark bash Flint’s skull in, or is the AI gonna be spamming AoE like the Gladion VA fight? Can’t pull up tools atm

[grand trout]

Cries in clue and raihan

[soft gyro]

Rock literally has only one pair with a special sync. And it's cradily

[grand trout]

Clue

[soft gyro]

Classic Blue has rock hyper beam but a physical sync

[grand trout]

Roxanne

Oh wait right

[rigid flint]

Roxanne dps real

[grand trout]

Now's her chance

[soft gyro]

Ok, fair for roxanne, but she's a support

[rigid flint]

Roxanne nuke when

[grand trout]

I wish we had silvally but for special

[rigid flint]

Wait for Arceus

[soft gyro]

Arceus pair when o3o

[dusty yarrow]

Best to run Roxanne DPS when Kalos Rock Weak arrive (cuz Malva has Sentry Entry x2... tho I'll just use Lounge Steven)

[grand trout]

Judgment is a special move?

[rigid flint]

Yes

[nocturne pawn]

malva even with sentry entry x2 wasnt hard

i managed to do it with my normal rock team

[keen jasper]

Yeah, SS Diantha can destroy rock-weak Malva

[soft gyro]

Malva had one week where she had so many buffs under sun

She made me think of moltres

[grand trout]

Oh god

[nocturne pawn]

pretty sure even roark cleared her 2k

[grand trout]

Next week is the electric Aaron

I don't have ash..

[dusty yarrow]

yeah... probably the same with the most here I guess

[grand trout]

I hope hau can manage it .

[tame gust]

PTSD of the fire chicken

[soft gyro]

It's a shame most of the rock strikers are limited

[nocturne pawn]

he can

[nocturne pawn]

olivia:

[dusty yarrow]

wait... the next week sinnoh is the last week Sinnoh right?

[keen jasper]

SS Brock

[keen jasper]

Yes

[grand trout]

I have nc bede, who else

[soft gyro]

The 'most' had a reason to be there o3o

[rigid flint]

Aaron once again afraid of Ash's revenge

[tame gust]

My elec strikers consist of 1/5 Zekrom, Vanilla Hau, and Egg Raichu

[soft gyro]

I have ash but refuse to use him

[keen jasper]

I want to see 10 stacks of SpMUN against Aaron

[grand trout]

Nc bede, hau, celesa?

[upbeat dragon]

what move lvl is ur regirock?

[soft gyro]

Because he makes me feel dirty

[rigid flint]

Fair enuf

[tame gust]

Watch the world get Zapped.

[nocturne pawn]

isnt celesa made for elec aaron

[rigid flint]

But there's not many special electric options out there

[dusty yarrow]

Welp... I'm gonna do a weird off-type w/ extra steps for next week🤓

[nocturne pawn]

shes special right

[rigid flint]

Yes

Thunder Shock dps real

[soft gyro]

Celesa is one of the best debuffers in the game

[grand trout]

I mean you don't use her as a nuke

She's a utility

She can provide e terrain at will

[dusty yarrow]

its a 1/5 MC Regirock

[soft gyro]

As long as the enemy isn't immune to paralysis

[tame gust]

Sadly I don’t have C-Elesa. Wish I did because Fav and cute, but DeNa ain’t given a rerun.

[grand trout]

And that sweet sync move countdown

[rigid flint]

I would pull for CElesa if I had the gems

Rerun when DeNA

[grand trout]

Alright ill do hau, ncbede and celesa

[keen jasper]

Welp, I've done 3.9k on all the E4

[grand trout]

Fuck you aaron

[upbeat dragon]

ok good

[rigid flint]

Hau is fun to use

[upbeat dragon]

now i am slightly confident abt the team im abt to use

[grand trout]

Elesa having gmax is so random tho

[upbeat dragon]

regirock, olivia and kukui; cause i have no limited rock teams

is this a good team?

[rigid flint]

Olivia needs sand

Do you have Bertha?

[upbeat dragon]

olivia is at 5/5 kukui is at 3/5

[rigid flint]

Use Bertha, Olivia and a support

[upbeat dragon]

ok

[dusty yarrow]

this idiot (me) goes headfirst and run this during the Sinnoh CS Debut

[upbeat dragon]

bertha is at 4/5

[nocturne pawn]

he still cleared

so like

i dont see the problem

[grand trout]

Same team oml

[tame gust]

So for Aaron we run Silver Birb, Sun Setter, and a solid tank.

Bertha I have.. many answers for. Bulurola go brr.

Rock I’ve got Olivia or Roark

Dark SC Zinnia, some Sp.def tank/Sp.Atk dropper

Champ; Zinni, Cyrus, or some other evil Dragon. Dunno what I’ll throw at her

[upbeat dragon]

For bertha i used ss erika, mallow and bulurola

[grand trout]

You'd want weather setter for cynthia

[nocturne pawn]

that isnt sand

[rigid flint]

This was me lmao

I was like "Why did N do so little damage?"

[tame gust]

Just chuck Irida in there for the fun of it

[upbeat dragon]

i use ss silver now for ice

n is stupid unit

all ns very bad

💪

[upbeat dragon]

justice for hilbert's kyurem

[tame gust]

Irida, Zinnia, SS Brend

[dusty yarrow]

you learn the hard way to find out that Piercing Blow won't bypass Sentry Entry x2 (but you still brute forced it anyway)

[grand trout]

Negate her sandstorm

I think aaron was the last stage i poison stalled

[rigid flint]

Oh Cynthia is dead

[nocturne pawn]

zinnia is an interesting choice

[rigid flint]

You could use Cyrus in place of her

[grand trout]

Who'd you sync first, brendan or zinnia

[rigid flint]

Cyrus is probably more consistent

[nocturne pawn]

brendan

his nuke isnt that good without zone iirc

[dusty yarrow]

and Lisia is... a free +150 points I guess...

[grand trout]

Does lisia sync better sans weather?

[rigid flint]

Based Lisia user

[dusty yarrow]

nope

it doesn't have any weather multipliers (Rain just to counter Cynthia's Sand)

[rigid flint]

Wha

[grand trout]

Oh she only takes into accounts shields terrains and zones?

[nocturne pawn]

defog doesnt remove weather

[rigid flint]

Oh yeah weather doesn't affect Lisia

[grand trout]

No i mean she wants the field to be clear of effects right

[dark osprey]

seems like a good stage to use 3/5 A steven weather wipe

[grand trout]

Does weather count?

[rigid flint]

I always forget defog doesn't remove weather

[nocturne pawn]

actually it does

she loses her innate

but like

its whatever

[dark osprey]

doesn't remove weather

removes zones/terrains and shields

[rigid flint]

Oh Taiyo's right

Weather does affect her sync

[grand trout]

Poor zinnia

The only unit that works actively against a zone

Lisia*

[dark osprey]

and Darach

[mellow linden]

Whoever put Half-Sync on the Champion fight deserves to be slapped

[grand trout]

Wait i thought darach's innate works on lowered attack

[nocturne pawn]

it is pecking order innate

[dusty yarrow]

I mean... Darach can Off-type

[nocturne pawn]

i had no issues

lol

[dark osprey]

oh yeah true. innate isn't bothered by the zone

[dark osprey]

nice. Darach is fun to use i guess

[dusty yarrow]

Im used to Half-Sync💀

[mellow linden]

It wasn’t terrible on my end either, but it was annoying

[nocturne pawn]

no lucas?

[mellow linden]

I had to change my parameters to remove halved healing

[dark osprey]

good for SS Serena users I guess

[mellow linden]

Nope

[nocturne pawn]

that would make sense

he made it really simple

[mellow linden]

Normally that stage isn’t an issue even without him, half-Sync is just a dumb parameter

But this week it was annoying

[dark osprey]

half-sync does help with easy setup nukes for us as well I guess

[nocturne pawn]

this week was by far the easiest for me

[mellow linden]

I probably would’ve had an easier time if I’d used SS Serena, but that stage is meant for Clair, dangit

[nocturne pawn]

oh

that makes so much more sense

[dark osprey]

nice. clair would be fun

its meant for Anni Raihan weirdly

[mellow linden]

All half-Sync really meant is worst case scenario I had to get some RNG to stop one of the Flygons’ attacks after Cynthia goes down + minorly adjusted parameters

[dusty yarrow]

Which one would be a nice fit to try to do a Roxie EX Off-type Clear in Last Week Sinnoh?

[mellow linden]

And since Classic Elesa and SS Kris both have Staggering, it’s not that bad

Just annoying

[grand trout]

Scteven? Do you have him?

[nocturne pawn]

wait what

he has sand though

[dark osprey]

his max move and supposedly trapping

the stage had acute senses as well

[grand trout]

Yeah he can work with Cynthia's sand instead of against it

[nocturne pawn]

yeah but your tank’s not gonna be happy about it

[dusty yarrow]

Don't have ScSteven, and even then it will violate the clauses I do,
My Last Week Rule CS run

• Off-type Only
• No Type Duplicate (counted by Sync Type like Medals)
• Team is in the Same Region* or No Role Duplicate
  (the first one is picked* cuz I run the No Role Duplicate last time)

[nocturne pawn]

surging sand 5 💀

[mellow linden]

Cynthia does not have Acute Senses this week

[dark osprey]

don't know why Anni Raihan is recommended there

sry my bad

[mellow linden]

You might be confusing her with Ground weak Aaron

[grand trout]

My tank was ncbede lol

[fiery canopy]

what up fellas new week
anybody i should do on a specific round

[grand trout]

He did just fine

[fiery canopy]

thinking r1 bertha for perm grass terrain and r4 aaron for more burns...

[mellow linden]

E4 is pretty much whatever order as long as you know what you’re doing. Half-Sync on Champion this week is bleh

[fiery canopy]

alrightie letsgo

[nocturne pawn]

id say avoid r1 flint unless you’re replacing weather

charging sun 5 flare blitz is ouch

[dusty yarrow]

I just ironic I run Off-type Poison Clear with the clause (this will be Roxie's Time)

[fiery canopy]

still need to fit in a fighting and steel type somewhere for the medal...

[dark osprey]

honestly was confused with the battle tips. they mentioned to trap the opponents. guess its just lessen trap 7 or something

[dusty yarrow]

Gradual Healing still disables Aaron's Acute Senses right?

[trail smelt]

Yep

Funniest thing every lol

[dusty yarrow]

or they have fixed that (cuz it felt like a bug or smth)

wait... it still is?

[grand trout]

It's not a bug

[dark osprey]

yes yes. just me getting confused

[grand trout]

It's working as intended lol

[dusty yarrow]

I guess its a Feature now huh

[nocturne pawn]

its “easier” in mm than normal

[dusty yarrow]

Only Aaron Ground & Malva Dark have Acute Senses 4 (or am I missing one )

[grand trout]

Iirc drake too

I forgot whicg stage

[dusty yarrow]

Maybe the Dragon Weak Drake, cuz I know Ice is Sandstorm and Rock is just Speed Debuffs + Tough Cookie

[wet gate]

This week was super easy for me, I had good Sync Pairs for the types; SS Red for Fire, SS Acerola for Grass, CMarnie and CCalem for Dark and SS Diancie for Rock.

[grand trout]

We've come a long way

We're at the point in the game where sinnoh has become a piece of cake

[nocturne pawn]

…

me when ground weak aaron and bug weak lucian

[grand trout]

I didn't notice aaron was hard

[dusty yarrow]

I still find Sinnoh semi-challenging
(although its mainly me making myself challenged)

[grand trout]

I had maxie since forever

[trail smelt]

I’ve never found ground weak hard and I just used Cynthia lol

And that’s with her OG sand team of Acerola and Skyla

[dusty yarrow]

Lucian Bug Weak and Flint Psychic gave me a semi-challenge with the amount of repeat but its more on "I run the wacky Team Shenanigans"

[grand trout]

Flinch abuse?

[trail smelt]

Admittedly lol

MVP Acerola

[grand trout]

My acerola is 2/5

[dusty yarrow]

I used 2 Ground Cynthias and a Bertha (beat Ground Weak despite Cynthia Garchomp having +4 Atk)

[grand trout]

I gave her a candy back when i didn't know any better

No regrets tbh

[trail smelt]

Didn’t we get a free Acerola

[dusty yarrow]

yeah... but the 2 Tech Candies I gave her isn't

[trail smelt]

Oh lol

[grand trout]

What free acerola

Wait what

You guys got a dupe???

[dusty yarrow]

I know you can only get 1 Acerola and Pallosand... not copies or dupes

[nocturne pawn]

very early on there were candy events for her cheren and rosa

[trail smelt]

Yeah

[dusty yarrow]

well... my "I joined during 1st Anni" didn't have that so...

[keen jasper]

Holy damn, I finally did 19.5k pts. this week

[grand steppe]

Aaron

• All Opponents start with Endurance
• Mostly Physical Moves
• Buffs:
• Base HP is Higher: 25k

Bertha

• Sides have Strong 3 Bar Moves

[sleek dawn]

Should I use Brenden for Bertha?

[old orchid]

why not

[sleek dawn]

Hm

Who should I use to buff him ?

[lunar meadow]

Sceptile is good against Bertha.
Bring a sun setter (Bulu, Meganium, Mo-Oh... Or a different one)

[sleek dawn]

She’s much easier since I got a bunch of decent grass types

[sleek dawn]

U mean ho-oh?

[old orchid]

have you read the team building guide? find which stats he need to buff first then find a support who helps buffing these stats

[sleek dawn]

He would u need physical atk buff wouldn’t he?

[lunar meadow]

Ho-oh is silver/Ho-oh. It's ok, can set sun on sync and does grass type damage.

But to support Sceptile, Mo-Oh is Morty/Ho-oh

[vast dome]

easyish weej

week

[old orchid]

read his kit carefully

[lunar meadow]

No.

Sceptile maxes +6atk/+6satk at the same time with one button press.

Supports will buff him slower than he buffs himself

[sleek dawn]

Ok ty for the info

[lunar meadow]

That TM is a big part of why he is still good now, despite being one of the original gen pool units.

He buffs so fast that his damage being a little lower doesn't matter much

[sleek dawn]

Defense?

I read his kit

He boost dmg fast

But needs defense?

[lunar meadow]

He's not tanking, he shouldn't get hit much.

As long as a damage dealer survives one enemy sync, they are good enough on defense

[old orchid]

what move level is he?

[toxic cobalt]

Flint had reduced flinch mitigation?!

I’m going to say my SS Brock clear would have worked anyway.

[keen jasper]

It seems that the rock field can make your enemies queue a move

[weak sequoia]

Which person should I go against first for normal mode?

So I don't make the same mistake like last week

[old orchid]

depends on your teams honestly

R1 is perma field so bring a weather team

[weak sequoia]

Ok that works than for me

[toxic cobalt]

You're likely to use sun for Bertha or Aaron

[grand steppe]

you'll want to change the weather against 3 teams this week, so be mindful

[peak stirrup]

Is Flint not physical?

[old orchid]

you can read the info of every stage in pomatools site

the link is pinned in this channel

[grand steppe]

Sorry, is the pinned comment not clear enough? Genuinely curious as I try to make them readable at a glance.

[reef raptor]

I finally defeated flint

But it took all my good syncs

:(

Not joking when i told you this was what I used on flint lmao haha im not good at this game

[toxic cobalt]

Well done! A hard typing

[grand steppe]

Flint’s partner sets Sun, you would have had an easier time if you had changed the weather. But grats on the clear.

Remember that you can always quit out of a stage before committing to a clear, if you want to do trial and error.

[reef raptor]

Nah i just committed to the xerneas heal and the kyurem damage

[grand steppe]

Don’t neglect two free pairs who can both change the weather and provide Flinch.

• Winona & Pelipper
• Acerola & Palossand

[proud axle]

Rola is really good at it even at 1/5

Sandstorm MPR, Sandstorm Flagbearer, and Astonish Aggravation are very easy to reach

[reef raptor]

I need to beat the rest now but that's gonna be a problem

I was thinking SS erika for bertha for some reason idk

[proud axle]

That sounds like it would work fine

Was this Hard or Master mode

[reef raptor]

Hard

[proud axle]

Pair her with Silver/Ho-oh and a support

SSErika uses Sunny Day and Silver uses his sync to refresh the sun. Solar Blade and Solar Beam.

If this was Master mode, it would be harder to justify this team because you get more points for full phys or full special (and this team is mixed). But on Hard, that's no big deal

[reef raptor]

Whats the difference between SS Morty/Ho Oh and Silver/Ho Oh

[proud axle]

Morty doesn't deal damage. He's a tank and team buff source

That's what the Support class means

[reef raptor]

Ik but

[proud axle]

Silver is a Striker. He deals damage.

[reef raptor]

I don't have level cap items atm which means all my syncs would be at most level 100

[proud axle]

They both use sun but don't have a lot in common, in terms of what they do in battle

[proud axle]

Don't care. 100 is plenty. Level-up growths plummet at levels above 100 anyway

[reef raptor]

I have over 3000 of every level up item aswell

[nocturne pawn]

eh 120 is still important

anything beyond that is superfluous and isnt important

[proud axle]

120 is cheap and easy to reach but they don't give more stats per level than 121+

[nocturne pawn]

its a decaying exponential growth iirc

[proud axle]

Negative

[nocturne pawn]

oh wait

[proud axle]

It's piecewise linear formulas

[reef raptor]

Anyways

[nocturne pawn]

yeah thats it

but anyway 120 is the main stopping point

[proud axle]

And 100+ is a straight, flat line

[proud axle]

Morty/Ho-oh is a support with Sunny Day. This means SSErika can skip using it, or Silver can skip a sync

[reef raptor]

This is what we have rn

[proud axle]

They have the same mon, but Morty and Silver don't do the same things on the team

In this case, if you haven't beaten Aaron yet, you might wanna use one of your two Ho-ohs against him instead of Bertha

[reef raptor]

Well I don't have a decent supporter left so I might keep morty for that

[proud axle]

Because he's weak to fire, and sun amps fire

[reef raptor]

I used Leaf against Lucian

Realising now I could've skipped using leaf altogether against lucian

[proud axle]

Oh, who's left? Both in terms of bosses still standing and supports you have ready

[grand steppe]

SsErika is enough against Bertha, save SSMorty for Aaron.

[proud axle]

Ye, or use SSMorty against Bertha and scoot Silver to Aaron to give sun to, say, SSRed

[reef raptor]

These are my supports
I still need Bertha and Aaron
Then just Cynthia

[proud axle]

Alright, let's see

[swift swan]

i'd use ss morty on bertha for the immediate weather change

[proud axle]

I'm seeing some good pairs here

[proud axle]

It's okay, SSErika is already on the team

[swift swan]

hop or bede can tank aaron

[proud axle]

Bertha: SSErika + Silver + Skyla?
Aaron: SSMorty + SSRed + (another Fire-attack-knower?)
Cynthia: Neo Bede + Cyrus? + ???

Are we worried about the 18-type medal?

Or just trying to get through

[reef raptor]

Not really

[proud axle]

Right, then you can try the teams I just mentioned

Lemme recheck Cynthia's gimmicks, it wouldn't surprise me if she somehow had something specifically to counter Cyrus

Hecc. We want to change the weather on her. Hm...

Well, there's still a slot free. Could slot some non-Sand weather summoner in.

[reef raptor]

Pelipper

[proud axle]

Yeah, Pelipper can work

[fringe valve]

Cynthia just spams aoe eq or brutal swing

[proud axle]

Call the rain and then try landing flinches

[reef raptor]

I spammed brutal swing on Lucian but you don't see Lucian complaining

[north crown]

whoever still needs help, ping me

[keen jasper]

@north crown Help me 4k each stage

[north crown]

holy shit this thread filled up in half a day

[north crown]

If you actually want advice, I'd suggest using either flinch, sleep , or potion spam teams (e.g: SSLyra, double sun teams, dual hooh+overkill unit)

[reef raptor]

Bertha just ohko'd leafeon with a single earthquake bruh

[keen jasper]

Was it crit or did you have tech sync pairs take x3 damage?

[reef raptor]

No clue

[mellow linden]

Is this Master Mode?

[swift swan]

well recheck your parameters and make sure techs take x3 damage is turned off

if it's master mode

if not, did bertha use earthquake under sandstorm?

[desert berry]

Can anyone guide on my first Sinnoh MM?

[reef raptor]

No

I took away sandstorm with sunny day

No crits

Hard mode

[nocturne pawn]

it shouldnt have one tapped her

[reef raptor]

[nocturne pawn]

just try it again and if you can record it

[zealous karma]

Is your Eirika a low level?

[nocturne pawn]

so we can see whats happening

[swift swan]

the best way would be to record it, but maybe you can try buffing erika's defense

[swift swan]

aiming for 12.5k?

[nocturne pawn]

good thing you only started doing mm this week

last week was awful

[swift swan]

never mind. with this roster, and this week's typing, 12.5k is easy. pick an ontype damage dealer and build around it

[nocturne pawn]

yeah this week was so free compared to last week it’s crazy

aaron and lucian made me age by a couple years

[zealous karma]

Trying to use ssilver through chip damage aoe moves etc made me cry

Normally clearer it just fine but was not showcase friendly

[north crown]

Aaron: SSAcerola, Silver, Kukui/Blaine
Bertha: Marley, SSErika, Adaman
Flint: Lana, Olivia, Bertha
Lucian: CCalem, Nessa, Masked Royal
Cynthia: Either Zinnia ot AnniSteven team

If you don't know stuff like triplequeue and basic teambuilding, I would refer to those resources first

[desert berry]

Is there specific para I should be aiming for?

Or should I just use paras that boost my ontype dps?

[desert berry]

Thank you!

[reef raptor]

I cut the video down to when bertha does her first sync

.

AAAAAA WIFI

Ok im back

[nocturne pawn]

yeah that was a crit eq

[north crown]

please at least know basic game knowedlge before diving in head first

[nocturne pawn]

that explains why she died

[swift swan]

we have parameter guides on pins. since you're ontyping, pick the ontype parameters. we have several different presets that you can try and see which suits your playstyle

[desert berry]

Okay thank you!

[reef raptor]

But it happens everytime

[swift swan]

why are you delaying your sync so long

[nocturne pawn]

wait do you even have a lucky skill on erika

i didnt see anything pop up

[reef raptor]

Because i fucked up and didnt realise my sync was ready

[swift swan]

well that's at least something you need to fix for your runs

what move level is your ss erika?

seeing her do 4k on sync is so painful

[reef raptor]

It was my 2nd sync tho

[nocturne pawn]

that sounds like it didnt crit

[nocturne pawn]

thats even worse

also if skyla isnt ex’d just sync with erika

[reef raptor]

I am syncing with erika

[swift swan]

skyla doesn't have vigilance either it seems. that crit bite was unlucky

[swift swan]

still. what's her move level?

[reef raptor]

How do i check

[nocturne pawn]

it shows on the team

in the bottom left

it’ll say x/5

[swift swan]

there's a number next to her sync pair profile, ranging from 1 to 5

[reef raptor]

Oh

[swift swan]

that makes sense

solar blade is doing quite good numbers though

in hard mode i'm pretty sure that team can win before bertha uses her TM and buff her team's crit, hmm

for starters, remember to sync ASAP

[lunar meadow]

I'm so glad we had rock weakness with perma-weather 🥰

I got to use Gigalith finally

[weak sequoia]

I did it finally got master mode unlocked.

[keen jasper]

Now it's time for your pain

[soft gyro]

pick your poison

1 - Big Chonky HP enemies
2 - frail one shotting enemies

[weak sequoia]

Frail because I'm able to one shot hopefully

Said the foolish child

[lunar meadow]

Psychic weak flint hits HARD with his fire blast

It's one of the only setups I don't necessarily kill without thinking

[weak sequoia]

That was the easiest battle I ever did in CS. One shot the entire team with b psycho cut

[keen jasper]

And all 3 of his moves are Fire Blast

[soft gyro]

unmissable fireblast with higher burn chance

solution? Use Liza

she can't be burned, she can raise team sp.def and both offenses, and she passively cannot have her sp.def reduced

best tank for that battle

[desert berry]

Just a quick question. If I don’t have EX for my ontype pair will that be fine?

[soft gyro]

If they're a striker, not really

[soft gyro]

Strikers in CS need the EX to heavily damage the sides

which, if they survive middle, will start spamming high power moves

that will kill what's left of your team

[desert berry]

Oh no

[rotund lagoon]

They don’t need it?

[desert berry]

I don’t have enough CS to EX any other units

[rotund lagoon]

Support EX is more important than Striker EX.

[soft gyro]

Ok, 'needing' is a stretch. But it's still highly recommended

[desert berry]

got 20 left

[soft gyro]

IMO, it's better to have at least one EX striker per type

before focusing on EXing supps

[desert berry]

Can I use another Support with EX for my Flint team?

[rotund lagoon]

It’s still doable without.

[desert berry]

[rotund lagoon]

If they have the synergy.

[desert berry]

These are my current supp EX

[rotund lagoon]

Calem, Aaron or Sonia

[low linden]

Your supports are stacked lol

[desert berry]

Phew I have Calem in Lucian battle

So its either Sonia or Aaron

[desert berry]

I like supports

[rotund lagoon]

Any other physical teams?

[desert berry]

Scratched #10

But 7 8 9 are my next to-do list

So….

[rotund lagoon]

I guess Sonia, then :0

[desert berry]

Okay thanks Annie will try!

[tired sleet]

What round is this?

[desert berry]

Round 3

Oh its the round where I need to use sync move as much as possible

and i don’t have striker EX

[tired sleet]

If you want i could try it out on round 1 (my olivia and lana aren’t exed)

Is this master mode?

[desert berry]

This is Master Mode yes

[tired sleet]

How many points are you going for?

[desert berry]

12.5k?

I did 5k already

But idk about the rest

[tired sleet]

I’ll try to replicate it and record it for you
My bertha is exed but i won’t tank with her to try and make it more realistic to your scenario

[desert berry]

Thank you

I’ll try with Sonia in the meantime

[tired sleet]

Alr I cleared it, i’ll just speed up the video since i can’t send large videos

[desert berry]

My Flint team sucks

Can’t even get Flint to half hp after sync

[tired sleet]

Here’s the thingy! I used sandstorm throughout the fight to pretend I didn’t have the 1st round param

I should record params, but with these you kinda need to hope that Flint doesn’t spam Flare Blitz

[desert berry]

Oh wow

[desert berry]

Thanks a lot Winston! I’ll try it out

[tired sleet]

Do you want the grids btw?

[desert berry]

Did you make your own? I base my grids on the profile from bot

Olivia for sync grid and Lana for full sustain

[tired sleet]

I did make my own, i’ll screencap them
It should work as long as olivia has the nuke and bertha has team sharp entry

[desert berry]

Ohh okayy

I’ll retry again later have to go to work

Thanks again!!

[weak sequoia]

Just tried master mode. I'm never doing that until it's anni at the minimum

[tired sleet]

Have you checked aurochs’s accessible teams? #1011675077764456519 message

And it’s not like “f2p” 5/5 EX Barry

[weak sequoia]

Ty so much

[lunar meadow]

Lies!!!!
So many lies!!!!

If you can unlock master mode, I believe in your ability to at least go for 4200 points! It might take a little knowledge of the game mechanics but I think 4200 is a good and reasonable breakpoint.

It's harder to use all 18 types to unlock it, than to just get like 500-700 points per fight with good units.

Just don't try to jump in at the 7500/10,000/12,500 breakpoints.

4200 gets you a lot of good rewards, and you can learn from there

[weak sequoia]

All right

Once I have gotten back the strength to do so I will.

[lunar meadow]

@weak sequoia

If you are using a main damage dealer that is "on type" (super effective damage) then you can take "Standard Reduction 8" for a free 300 points. It doesn't matter if your off-type support has reduced damage if they are just buffing your on-type damage!

And most players take "Move Gauge -2" as a pretty free option.

[weak sequoia]

Do I go striker or support first for sync? Not that I have many EXed

[lunar meadow]

If you can't set an environment bonus, then you can get a free 150 points from "can't change zone/weather/terrain".

A lot of the zone setters are rare/limited (like bug, ice, flying, etc) so it's a free 150 points to take that parameter on fights where you don't use environment anyway

[paper summit]

MM is a matter of choosing your parameters correctly, if you do that poorly it's only natural you'll have a bad time

[lunar meadow]

It depends.

I'd say get 2-3 most powerful strikers, and 4-5 most universally used supports.

[paper summit]

also, don't go aiming for more than you can handle at first

[weak sequoia]

That's definitely what I did

I just clicked everything

[lunar meadow]

Oh God. Yikes!

[weak sequoia]

Not thinking it's going to affect me that much. Boy was I wrong

[lunar meadow]

I'd start with:
300 Move gauge -2
300 Standard damage reduction
If using super effective
150 Can't Change Environment
Unless you have the environ you need
50 Phys Dmg Reduction
50 Spec DMG Reduction
Both are negated by buffing your crit

Then look at things like adding "Str+X" parameters, which are actually way weaker and less scary than you'd think.

[weak sequoia]

Should I post my units for what I have just so I have a clearer idea to use who for who?

[lunar meadow]

I would sort by the current type weaknesses (Fire, Grass, Rock, Dark, Dragon) strikers and techs, and send that picture.

Then sort by 4/5/6 star supports, and send that picture.

Also, tell us any Master Fair or EX striker/techs you might have that aren't in the picture of on-type damage dealers

[weak sequoia]

This is everything of those types support included.

[lunar meadow]

Dragon: Palkia
Rock: you will probably need to off-type
Dark: Incineroar and Thievul are both capable
Grass: The Lorax's Feet speak for the grass
Fire: Redzard

[weak sequoia]

And then Pair them with anyone?

[lunar meadow]

Tapus Bulu/Leafeon/Leafeon will probably absolutely decimate that fight. Could probably get 2k points even without EXes lol. (You may also move Bulu to a different team, the Leafeons are both crazy damage)

Palkia is strong for a free unit. You thankfully have him EX, but only level 1. He can be gridded to max his own crit/satk/speed, and would just want a support that can heal him from his self damaging.

I don't have Thievul, so I don't know it's exact kit. I do know it's strong, but someone else should probably advise.

Redzard is only 1/5 and not EX, but he has solid damage. Ho-oh is also a strong unit if used right, shame no EX. Because neither is EX, you will probably want to pair your fire team with a good defensive support since it'll take more than one sync move to clear the enemy. (Usually that strat is called pre-sync)

For rock type, I would suggest using non-rock type damage. Lycanroc-Olivia is only good at 3/5, and your other options are weak.

[weak sequoia]

Ok thanks. I will do this soon

[lunar meadow]

I'd start with leveling Palkia and checking grid suggestions in #1009587872342478908

When team building, make sure your team can get +3 crit. Most newer damage dealers can do that easily for themselves, but it's still important to make sure your team has it.

@weak sequoia
Do you have any master fair striker/techs?
Or any EX ones you did not show?

As an alternative for a good damage dealer for the rock-weak fight, those are good places to start.

(tons of regular pool strikers and techs can also off-type)

[weak sequoia]

Only other ones are irida 1/5 ,SSR cythina at 3/5, and NC bede EXed 1/5

For MFs

[lunar meadow]

Ok, I'm blocking you. Bye
||G-Articuno eluded me after I got the other birds, and Glaceon is forcing me to pity 😭||

🤣

[weak sequoia]

I couldn't even get the other birds

And SS lusasamine I had to skip to get the rest of tapus

[lunar meadow]

G-Zapdos took me to pity, so I didn't have a lot of opportunities for G-Articuno.

I liked Articuno kit more, but I had a lot of supports and wanted fighting zone.

[weak sequoia]

Always good to have zone

[lunar meadow]

Necrozma is probably the only master fair I didn't even do a single multi on. ||Adaman only got one because of being a new character with lodge||

[weak sequoia]

That's what made me go for him after I got irida was because lodge. Though now my luck is horrible

[lunar meadow]

@weak sequoia

But ya, I'd start with the four basic suggestions I outlined (and I might be able to help more with the rock fight after work), and aiming for 4200 points as your goal instead of aiming straight for max.

#1009587872342478908 has a ton of good suggestions, and there are a lot of players who used to do CS MM runs as full free to play to prove it was possible

Level your Palkia to 130...

[weak sequoia]

Will do

I get to sync grids in a little while

[proud axle]

I didn't see this until much later (and now it's too late); maybe I'll demonstrate sometime.

[weak sleet]

We need physical dark for Lucian this week right?

Because of wise entry

And for flint will Olivia and ss Diantha work? Or would a sandstorm Olivia be better?

[tired sleet]

You want sand against flint since he sets up sun
Sand SS Diantha would also work

[weak sleet]

Oh right, so drop Olivia for a sand setter like Bertha?

Will the frogs take care of Lucian?

[tired sleet]

That would work
I’ve tried and ss diantha feels a lot smoother than zoneless olivia

[wide adder]

perma field effects...
which team wants this more?
SS Erika + Leafeon focused team (idk a f2p physical grass user off top of my head that likes sun, ig i could do brendan but then id lose out on 100pts from phys vs special choice)
Train Bros + Olivia

dont have any limited grass types

[tired sleet]

I think train bros clear too fast to need perma field effects, so perhaps save it for the grass team

[north crown]

bruh SSErika is stacked. She can offtype potential without EX.

[fiery canopy]

beat 2500, what goal should i aim for next

[mellow linden]

2500 total or 2500 per stage?

[fiery canopy]

total

[mellow linden]

Shoot for 4250 total (850 points per stage), as long as your teams are competent it’ll be little to no difficulty increase over Hard Mode

Pins should have an 850 set

[fiery canopy]

ooh spicy
ill try it

[north crown]

you should just jump to 7.5k

[old orchid]

Slow approaching is more preferable

[rigid flint]

Wouldn't advise doing that if they're newer to CS

Best to start slow

[umbral crow]

Who has the most utility to change weather in Cynthia fight?
My aaron have blaine and bertha have erika and adaman

[zealous karma]

SSEirika

[mellow linden]

Any weather except Sandstorm is fine, so I guess Winona if Adaman and SS Erika will be used

[umbral crow]

Yeah, still planning team so i can change it

Sidney no grid can just beat dark weak right?

Because he is still 1/5

Or should i use masked royale 2/5?

Im planning to do 4500 pts

[mellow linden]

Could run both + an Attack + crit Support if you’ve got one available

[umbral crow]

Hop zama?

[mellow linden]

Sure, if you’re not using him elsewhere he’ll work fine

[umbral crow]

Well lucian is settled

Rock is one of the weakedt roster i have currently

Any idea?

[old orchid]

Do you have 2/5 Olivia at least?

[umbral crow]

Nuh

[old orchid]

Roark is solid but he needs full grid investment and 4*

He is the best choice then

[umbral crow]

Wah i only have 7,5k orbs

He will be spending it all

Good luck

[umbral crow]

What team does roark need?

[toxic cobalt]

Crit/atk buffer is helpful

Speed very helpful too

[umbral crow]

I have hilbert but he didnt buff crit for now

[old orchid]

Can you show your support roster

[old orchid]

I see Phoebe, Falkner and Piers

[umbral crow]

Do i run 2 support with him?

[old orchid]

On Flint specially you have to bring a weather changer

Or else he will one shot your tank under sun

[umbral crow]

Should i use sandstorm here?

[old orchid]

Yes

[toxic cobalt]

Piers and Acerola? The flinch should make up for the potential obstruct

[umbral crow]

This feels so messy tbh

I really need suggestion for every team

[old orchid]

Your teams are good to go

Perhaps replace Lyra since she is frail

Someone like Sonia

Silver can max crit under sun so its not a problem

[umbral crow]

So i need sonia mpr?

[old orchid]

She doesnt get mpr at 2/5

[umbral crow]

Ah

[old orchid]

Just click TM twice and spam Tackle

Heal when necessary

[umbral crow]

So i do aaron first round since silver benefit from sun right

[old orchid]

Either Aaron or Flint

[umbral crow]

Is param 4 the one i should be careful to?

It boost status condition so no flint and bertha there

[old orchid]

No

Flint and Bertha dont have status conditions

Trap and flinch are not conditions

[umbral crow]

Oh so i can do param 4 on anyone based on my team

I will try then

[noble plaza]

Is there a certain order I should do these in?

[toxic cobalt]

Flint or Bertha first, after that you're free

[noble plaza]

[desert berry]

Should have done this

My Round 3 is Flint

[upbeat dragon]

Im on round 4 for 2.5k mastermode

Only flint is left

Could u guys recommend a team?

Does 4/5 olivia, 4/5 bertha and a support work?

I dont have any limited rock type units

[old orchid]

yes

the tank should be someone that can buff crit and atk for Olivia

[upbeat dragon]

Does hilbert work?

I have him on 5/5

[old orchid]

ofc he works

[upbeat dragon]

Ok thnx

All 3 r non ex

Which one should i ex?

[old orchid]

they dont need ex

[upbeat dragon]

Even for 2.5k?

[old orchid]

yes?

[upbeat dragon]

Oh great

Let’s try them out

Thanks

[river pagoda]

Worth using Olivia for 2k Flint or shud I use someone else/off type? IDT I've ever used any of these guys so not sure if they can

Other 2 I'll set myself as needed just looking to check if I shud use any of the strikers here

Olivia and kukui look to be my only decent physical options

But IDT kukui is worth using as maindps ? Not sure tho

[old orchid]

Olivia is good as main dps

she can beat 2.5k

[river pagoda]

Ooo nice

[old orchid]

just bring an offensive support + sand with her

[river pagoda]

IDT I ever used her after lvlin so I wasn't sure

Gotcha

Thx

[old orchid]

Hilbert and Acerola are good accessible options

[noble plaza]

I'm doing R2 Flint with EX Ingo, Olivia, and Acerola but I'm having trouble with dealing with the sides after KOing the Arcanine

[old orchid]

try to flinch them with Acerola

[noble plaza]

I'm trying but I'm getting some bad luck

[old orchid]

is she gridded with Astonish Aggravation 1 and Sandstorm MPR?

[noble plaza]

of course

[river pagoda]

This look good for Olivia grid? Just picked as many multipliers I cud get + sand shelter

[old orchid]

try more then

[river pagoda]

The others look useless for this comp

[old orchid]

visit #1009587872342478908 pins for grid examples

[river pagoda]

Oop oki

[noble plaza]

I mean I was planning for Ingo to be the main Sandstormer

[old orchid]

oh didnt notice Ingo, you can bring another Rock dmg dealer

like Roark or Kukui as dps

[noble plaza]

really?

[old orchid]

3/5 Kukui even has 60%flinch

yes he can carry 2 dmg dealers at once

[noble plaza]

he's 1/5 😔
