Champion Stadium

[toxic cobalt]

I had to redo two grids for it

[dark osprey]

Thought it would be easier with the new parameters at least

[pure haven]

[wet gate]

what round should i not do half sync cooldown?

[trail smelt]

It depends on you honestly, usually not the ones you can’t survive a sync of or can’t kill before they sync

[wet gate]

How can I counter the paralysis? My move gauge is so sloooooow

[toxic cobalt]

Flinch or sleep the move

Or win before then

[dark osprey]

probably could have saved sycamore for this battle. not sure if SS Mina's zone at 1/5 lasts long enough to make much of an effect

sycamore can at least do some secondary dps

[wet gate]

Did it with off type

[trail smelt]

Fought on despite the paralysis

[noble plaza]

Should I do R3 Sidney or Drake?

[nocturne pawn]

id say sidney if you have diantha

[noble plaza]

I do not

[toxic cobalt]

I’d do Drake. Sidney will paralysé you

[noble plaza]

I'm planning to put bede on my team fwiw

Oh wow Drake was nothing

That was actually the best choice, thanks haha

[vast dome]

Does Sunsteel Strike bypass Sentry Entry

[junior crown]

The new parameters helps poison stall and all stages can be poison stalled, but some are better to offtype if possible, Glacia this week is one of them. I poison stalled her, first try as always, but this week she seems to have a ultra SPA Boost (she already have boosted SPA based on what PoMaTools says, but maybe Mega increses it even more) and is doing lot's of damage with all of my pairs being 5* lv 140, so if someone have like 3/4* and lv 120 it will be harder...

[vast dome]

Sidney or Glacia Round 3?

I have a team of 2/5 Raihan and EX SC Jasmine for her

[junior crown]

Or being immune or clear the status later, like I used BP Clemont since he have Lithe

[noble plaza]

Oh wow. Post syncing with Bede actually worked out. I couldn't sync with him because I had to use Xerneas plus EX support but he still worked out!

[junior crown]

No, unfortunately

[junior crown]

And for Sidney?? Need to remember that R4 makes quad sync harder (unless you skip one full turn with sync acc/flint/sleep)

[noble plaza]

FUCK YEAH CS COMPLETED

[vast dome]

1/5 Bede and EX Diantha

[long thicket]

Steel Glacia feels oddly specific...

[nocturne pawn]

use raihan or off type

[mellow linden]

She was originally designed for Raihan, who at the time was the only special Steel damage-dealer outside of Thorton’s Sync Move

[long thicket]

Tate is doing alright damage.

But yeah, it'd take really building a team around one damage dealer.

[old orchid]

Strike Magneton erasure smh

[mellow linden]

Ah, my bad

[sand karma]

I took both Raiboi and Tate for maximum vengeance

[mellow linden]

I often forget about eggmons

[mellow linden]

Summer Tate should do fine against Steel weak Glacia

[formal vigil]

striker perseker too

miror shot lussa

[mellow linden]

Released after Steel weak Glacia did

[long thicket]

I really need to build a team if I wanna do it on-type.
Should I save her for last?

Only did Phoebe for now (without the chus)

[mellow linden]

A team built around Summer Tate should be able to beat Glacia just fine, can bring Lucian on that team so Tate takes less time setting up if you want

Should be fine doing Glacia on any round except 3

[long thicket]

Starting to wonder if Hoenn is tougher than Sinnoh.

At least the elite four.

[mellow linden]

It depends on roster for the most part

I ended up Poison stalling Glacia this week due to lacking all special Steel damage-dealers (Thorton doesn’t count) as well as Palentine’s Marnie, but I’ve wholly abandoned Poison stall and off-typing in Sinnoh CS

[toxic cobalt]

Get Glacia round 1 I’m pretty sure you can bash through

[long thicket]

Dragon Drake is a double edge sword because Lucas helps him as much as he helps me.

So as much as he's one of my all time faves to use, I have to switch for that one.

[mellow linden]

Not necessarily, would just need to beat him faster than he can beat you

Like, if you’re doing a Lucas + SS Serena team (just an example) Drake’ll be obliterated

[long thicket]

Yeah, that's it, but I struggle just now. (also at round 3)

[mellow linden]

What’s the Support?

[long thicket]

Been trying Brendan and Mallow, might switch to an EX one of another type.

Especially with those parameters where it's quicker to get the sync.

[mellow linden]

Don’t need to monotype

[long thicket]

Lucas is EX (and 3/5) while Serena isn't.

[mellow linden]

If SS Serena is 1/5 then could do something like SS Morty as the Support if it’s Round 3

Or another similarly bulky gauge Support if no SS Morty

Like an SS Blue

[long thicket]

It's working alright, but durability is the issue.
Especially for Zygarde.

[mellow linden]

Really just makes me more inclined to say SS Blue for the Defense buffs

Since Drake’s Sync is physical

Or it could be a parameter issue

[grand trout]

Does ss blue prevent quadqueue?

[mellow linden]

If he gets hit right before Sync then yes, but he also has Adrenaline in grid

So if he’s doing 1st Sync it won’t matter

[ripe portal]

how i defeat the members of the elite 4 of the hoenn region? its very hard for me

[mellow linden]

Is this Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[ripe portal]

hard

[mellow linden]

Alright, then could you show your roster? From the tracker (which I’ll pull up a link for soon) is preferable, but screenshots from the Move Level menu work as well

[ripe portal]

i mainly use kayogre, blaziken and serperior as my main team

[mellow linden]

[mellow linden]

That team very much needs improvement. Have you read the teambuilding 101?

[ripe portal]

nope

[mellow linden]

+101

[frozen depot]

> Teambuilding 101
Make sure you have done the Victory Road tutorial for an introduction to the game's teambuilding and gameplay.

1. When making a team, you usually want to focus building around a selected damage dealer that hits the stage's weakness (or not if they are strong enough to off-type). This can be a / striker or a tech. Take the time to read that damage dealer's kit in its entirety (moves and passives) to see what they can buff themselves. Critical-Hit Rate maxes at +3 while all other main buffs go to +6. Damage dealers should be in slot 3 for tactics.

2. Once you figured out your damage dealer, pick a to put on slot 1 in tactics so it takes the damage. The support will often want to cover the buffs the damage dealer needs and cannot max by themselves reliably (look for critical-hit rate, attack or special attack for example). If your damage dealer is fully self sustainable, the support can cover healing or defensive utility as needed!

3. Finally your last slot is entirely flexible and depends on your first two picks. You can take a tech focusing on utility like debuffs or weather/terrain that empowers your damage dealer, or another support that focuses on defenses and healing to survive longer, perhaps even boost gauge speed for demanding damaging moves. If your team allows it, you can even pick a second damage dealer! It's important to experiment and remember that a successful team will be able to manage gauge properly for triple queueing and buffing your damage dealer fast so they can focus on pumping out damage as soon as possible!

Want to know more about Triple-Queue and other information about the game? Visit our #1010307000346878062 or check the bot commands pinned in #bot-zone!

[mellow linden]

Very helpful guidelines that’ll help you understand the whys and hows of teambuilding

[mellow linden]

Regarding this, it would be better to come back later when you can show your roster if you can’t do so right now. It’s very hard to give good advice on what you can run if we don’t know what you have available

[ripe portal]

i really tried understanding that but i couldnt....

but only origin pulse does decent damage

[toxic cobalt]

You need to get a unit to +3 crit and +6 atk/spatk

[mellow linden]

Alright, let’s start building a team from scratch then. Pick a damage-dealer (a Strike or Tech pair)

[toxic cobalt]

Then its attacks will do decent damage

[mellow linden]

#1128052735967764621

[magic notch]

Thanks, my mistake

[mellow linden]

It happens

[light ibex]

FINALLY defeated damn Phoebe…… her driftblim ended up being SUPER freaking annoying for me to beat! 10 times in a row I failed this battle!

[mellow linden]

What types do you have left to unlock on type medal?

You can see progress in the team selection screen

[clever breach]

Can peobe be paralyzed

Or am i just getting unlucky

[tired sleet]

She can as long as you don’t take no status conditions

[clever breach]

Ok

Then im just unlucky

[full mesa]

Or you have a wrong plan. There are units that can 100% paralyze your opponent.

[mellow linden]

What team are you using? Generally you’d want a 50% or greater chance per move to succeed on your status inflictor

[long thicket]

Well, ended up off-typing both of them.

Too much Blizzard spam and I couldn't get my Dragon duo to win in time at round 3.

[quaint solar]

Who am I soppose to use against Marlon 🤔

[north crown]

#1128052735967764621

[vast dome]

Gonna poison stall Glacia, 2/5 Raihan doesnt do doodoo

[swift swan]

Raihan should be perfect against Glacia

[tired sleet]

Just give him a support EX buff

[vast dome]

SC Jasmine EX

And I also used Roxanne

I find Raihan too slow to work witb

[dark osprey]

Get a gauge support. do u have SSBlue maybe?

[old orchid]

Marley should work with Raihan and SC Jasmine

[vast dome]

Saving him for later

[swift swan]

try this then

[long thicket]

Wallace was actually a tiny bit of a challenge.

I guess it's the one champion battle from this region that made it so.

Did it with Looker and Sygna Leaf (with status on)

[patent torrent]

Hello I once again return because sidney is kicking my ass

I tried diantha / lillie / bede but diantha cant do enough damage

[nocturne pawn]

are you syncing with her first

bede should be helping with setting up devastation

[patent torrent]

tried diantha / alt iris / red too but i forgot red is immune to poison and not paralysis

yeah i sync with her first but his sync just kills

[plush tangle]

Please order by type and then by role

[nocturne pawn]

you can try marley

she has status condition shield

[old orchid]

Replace Lillie with another tank, namely Lodge Dawn. Bede's TM blocks paralysis

[nocturne pawn]

oh it does

convenient

[patent torrent]

Is it possible to do both

[old orchid]

Wdym both?

[patent torrent]

type and role

[nocturne pawn]

yes?

[patent torrent]

2 screenshots ig

thought i could do it in one ss

[old orchid]

Separate roles and type next time

[nocturne pawn]

no theres an option to sort it by roles

[plush tangle]

We don't need the 2nd image, the 1st one is enough

just for next times

[patent torrent]

just not sure what you mean

do you want it seperated like the first or second

[old orchid]

Going back to the topic, try this then

[patent torrent]

what parameters do i want

[old orchid]

Try pre sync param first, if it doesnt work well try post sync

Check the pins for params

[plush tangle]

when you click type then role they show separator, roles are separated but inside they are ordered by type, which makes it easier to look for units so like the 1st one

[patent torrent]

Worked in 1 ty

She was also 1/5 and non ex before today so i just used candies and tickets and now shes good

[nocturne pawn]

oh

uh

you didnt need to do that

[swift swan]

who was candied and EX'd?

[nocturne pawn]

diantha i think

[unreal radish]

[toxic cobalt]

Powerful Diantha

[north crown]

oh no....

[void stream]

whats the best fight order this week? I am stuck at round 3 with fairy or steel

[upbeat dragon]

im stuck on r3 with glacia cause i forgot to read params

and she ends up one shotting solgaleo with her sync

on 2.5k post sync params

[civic trellis]

Well half sync countdown is prob one of the worst params

She also has sentry entry iirc

[upbeat dragon]

ohh her stage was made for jirachi

fine then ill offtype her with cmarnie

u asked for it glacia

[civic trellis]

It was made for raihan actually

Jirachi didnt exist at the time

[upbeat dragon]

oh i dont pull ever in the monthly banner

only one i have from it is marnie

[civic trellis]

U dont need raihan for it, its just when hoenn CS released in august 2022 he was the only special steel besides mirror shot ss lusamine

[dark osprey]

If you're trying with Solgaleo and Hop, might as well get a special defense buffer in the middle to try and survive the sync

Not really recommended to go Glacia on that round since pre sync is hard

[versed meteor]

Drake acute sense is bypassed by gradual healing right?

[tired sleet]

Yes

[versed meteor]

New question why is he so damn bulky?

[full mesa]

Because it's Hoenn. Everything has a crap ton of hp and hits twice as hard.

God... we have 3 more weeks of that hell...

[unreal radish]

[zealous karma]

Kalos is next

[sick inlet]

I can't remember Kalos

[zealous karma]

It’s just a bunch of anti post sync propaganda with lots of zones before sync

[wide adder]

What the absolute hell do you do for sentry x2 steel

Do I just cry and offtype lol

[nocturne pawn]

thorton

you can do it with physical steel but she hits very hard

[zealous karma]

Solgaleo should be strong enought o power through it with supp ex tho

[rotund lagoon]

Do you have Striker Perrserker by chance?

[wide adder]

i dont think so, i can double check

nope, dont see it

[rotund lagoon]

If you have PB’d Solga, probably try that first.

[hushed sorrel]

Poison stall

O nvm I used Eusine

[wide adder]

Wait how’d marnie get there I had anni n on this team

Was just unlocking master mode and now I’m confused

[old orchid]

Summer N is in the final team so the game doesnt show Anni N anymore

it will pick a random pair in the previous team iirc

[wide adder]

huh, its purely because of duplicate trainer?

[old orchid]

yeah

[manic dust]

If Solgaleo can power through on Glacia, what round should I save her for? Hoenn making me want to give up on CSMM this month lol

[mellow linden]

If you don’t have Palentine’s Marnie or a special Steel damage-dealer you’d probably wanna consider off-typing or Poison stall on Glacia

As for round, probably avoid her on round 3 in general and definitely avoid her on Round 2 if doing Poison stall, otherwise it probably doesn’t matter too much

[manic dust]

Gotcha, thanks! I have never really done poison stall before, but I might have to if I want 12.5k. My on-type units for this week are not great

[quaint solar]

This week is cheese other than Glacia in my opinion

[manic dust]

It might be a skill issue on my part haha. That and my electric and poison rosters are very weak

[mellow linden]

Roxie + Lucy are always around for Poison

[manic dust]

Very true!

[mellow linden]

As for Electric, if Hau’s at least 2/5 and you have Volkner you should largely be set

[manic dust]

Oh really? Good to know. I invested a lot into Hau back during the dark times of the Alola battle challenges lol

[mellow linden]

Yeah, he’s got a solid Sync nuke thanks to Inertia in grid and Volkner can apply Paralysis to deal with Healthy Advantage + set Electric Terrain to further boost Hau

[manic dust]

Sweet! I'll give that a shot, thanks!

[mellow linden]

And if you happen to have a 3/5 Elesa + Zebstrika you’ll obliterate Phoebe

[manic dust]

Regular Elesa? She's 2/5 for me

[mellow linden]

2/5 is still nice for Sync nuke, but yeah, Hau will probably do more for you in this case

[manic dust]

I do have super invested BP Soph though

[mellow linden]

Oh, BP Sophocles would be great

[manic dust]

Awesome! I'll give him a shot! Thanks for talking it through -- I got really intimidated this week for some reason

[mellow linden]

Hoenn CS is definitely a bit intimidating at 1st glance, but outside of a couple outliers (cough Steel weak Glacia cough) the gimmicks are generally less restrictive than Sinnoh CS

[manic dust]

And I was able to do 12.5k Sinnoh no sweat, so I just need to work at it

[zealous karma]

I believe a round this week has the physicald amage deal more and sync buffs have greater effect I would save it for one of those

[formal vigil]

so round 1 and 2

[manic dust]

Okay, so I was finally able to do the tracker. I am having a heck of a time with Sidney -- I know I need to off-type him, but with the paralysis gimmick I'm struggling to find the right striker or tech to build around.

[rotund lagoon]

You could do BP Surge for Support to buff Mina, your damage dealer. BP Surge has innate Lithe.

[manic dust]

And Mina could do enough DPS?

[rotund lagoon]

Mina is good, but I recommend nuking mid, then taking out sides with Play Rough

[manic dust]

Thanks! I will give that a shot in a few!

Support EX worth including?

[rotund lagoon]

Lt Surge could be the one. If you cannot EX him (or don’t want to), try without for now. Use third slot for a Sp Atk debuffer.

[manic dust]

Awesome, thanks! I'll try without and then EX if not. I always carry spare upgrades for just this reason lol

[rotund lagoon]

Yeah, never hurts to experiment. I don’t like putting in too much resources before using someone

[manic dust]

Agreed, me neither

[versed meteor]

dena is damn scummy 1/5 Raihan doesn't even live after sync against glacia while dealing very laughable damage to her

[manic dust]

Okay so I've been trying Mina/Lodge Dawn/BP Surge, but they seem too squishy and Mina doesn't damage quickly enough to make a dent

Against Sidney, R3

[quaint solar]

Surge with Raichu and Dawn with Wormadam is squishy for CSMM

[manic dust]

Yeah, it definitely hasn't been working well, lol

[quaint solar]

Try the F2P option with
Sycamore with Xerneas and Skyla with Swanna
Don't remember what Round 3 Parameters are, that team should win that stage.

[manic dust]

Cool, thanks! Those are my ol' reliables anyway

[mellow linden]

Lodge Dawn isn't that squishy, btw

BP Surge is on the squishier end of Supports tho

Also Skyla + Sycamore doesn't work all that well for Mina

Because she can't get reliable Attack buffs and would have to grid Eagle Eye for crit buffs

If BP Surge + Lodge Dawn didn't work you could try an Attack + crit Support and Marley

Marley provides Speed buffs for gauge and her Trainer Move both cures statuses and applies Status Shield

[manic dust]

Yeah, Skyla Sycamore did not work well at all

[mellow linden]

Not surprising, tbh

[manic dust]

I'll give Marley and an Attack buffer a shot, thanks! Sorry this is taking me so many times

[mellow linden]

It's fine, this is one of the hardest CS regions and this channel is to help with this sort of thing anyways

[manic dust]

I really appreciate it!

[mellow linden]

And specifically you'll want an Attack + crit Support like Hop, 2/5+ Aaron, 3/5+ Hilbert, 3/5+ Sonia, or 1/5+ Shauna (though Shauna wants EX if only 1/5)

[wide adder]

looking at the current week since im getting ready to do my master mode soon, it seems like a mostly offtyping week to me... my electric box is prob even more lackluster than my steel box... and i tend to stick to presync rather than bothering with stalls most of the time.

[mellow linden]

If you want you could show your roster, we might be able to spot something you missed by virtue of outside perspective

[quaint solar]

Oh....it didn't
Don't know why it didn't work out for you.

[mellow linden]

Skyla + Sycamore + Mina is, quite frankly, a team you would only use if you entirely lack other options. It has too many flaws to be worthwhile if you have just about any other options for the Supports

Skyla and Sycamore lack reliable ways to give Mina her offensive buffs, which makes the fight take longer, which opens up more potential for failure

[rotund lagoon]

Idk what guide you saw, but please note that team does not have synergy for Mina. Keep that in mind when recommending teams for anyone.

[quaint solar]

Could care less about whatever yall be calling synergy.
Gave them a winning option.
I guess RNG didn't bless them.

[fringe bobcat]

@quaint solar if you don't care about it you shouldn't be giving any advice as that's not helpful at all, if you cannot receive criticism about it please refrain from making comments like that.

[nocturne pawn]

bro im actually stupid

so i went against phoebe and i used volkner for paralysis right

never got a paralyze proc once

and then i check params and its no status

but elesa still brute forced so :’)

[mellow linden]

Welp, at least you know to check when Electric weak Phoebe comes back

[nocturne pawn]

does drake have wise entry

[plush tangle]

x2 yes

[nocturne pawn]

fuck

thats why lucas didnt one shot

[plush tangle]

it's the same one as the ice cs lol

[nocturne pawn]

no?

this is dragon weak

[plush tangle]

ah

[old orchid]

Dragon weak Drake has WEx2?

[nocturne pawn]

yeah i figured no

[mellow linden]

No, he has Acute Senses tho

[plush tangle]

this one has acute senses

[nocturne pawn]

idk why archie does no damage even with rain

[plush tangle]

but it shouldn't be an issue if you give grad heal lol

[nocturne pawn]

im pretty sure i took gradual healing but its only doing around 800 with crit and supp ex

[mellow linden]

Did you accidentally turn on the wrong Damage Reduction 8 parameter? Because that sounds like an accidental wrong Damage Reduction 8 parameter

[nocturne pawn]

ok forgot to uncheck standard damage reduction

god im goofing so much

yeah i was like why is this doing less than a non crit support sync

[mellow linden]

I’m getting good at figuring out damage values in relation to DR8 parameters, apparently

[nocturne pawn]

ok why the fuck is kingdra physical

[mellow linden]

Drake runs Swift Swim Outrage Kingdra instead of Sniper Critdra

someone on this server will see this and get it, eventually

[unreal radish]

I get that

[nocturne pawn]

you run swift swim regardless

[mellow linden]

Maybe I just found an outdated set way back when, then, idk

[urban cave]

I finally finished my first CS on Hard

For Phoebe which I struggled with a lot, I used Sycamore/Surge/Archie

[old orchid]

Surge here is OG Surge?

you should have inflicted her with a status condition, since she has Healthy Advantage 4 which reduces damage taken if the user is not affected by a status condition

[urban cave]

Raichu Surge

[old orchid]

oh its alright

[unreal radish]

BP Surge is great

[mellow linden]

Huh, they actually set up this Hoenn CS run in a way that’s terrible for being able to quickly try out Rose in an optimal situation

[nocturne pawn]

steel weak glacia

🧌

but sages already got a clear anyway

[mellow linden]

Steel weak Glacia is unavoidable due to it being Hoenn CS, but no Rock or Ground until week 4

Over a whole week, wow

[swift swan]

Rip

[manic dust]

Sorry all...I'm back yet again. For R3 Sidney I just cannot seem to get Mina's DPS in a good place. I have been trying Mina and Marley plus Hop, tried Aaron, and even NCBede. I know it's a skill issue but any thoughts about how I can get Mina to do enough damage before Sidney nukes everyone?

[nocturne pawn]

i dont think you should r3 sidney

paralysis is pretty debilitating unless you have someone who can prevent it/cure it

[toxic cobalt]

I agree, no R3 Sidney

[manic dust]

Okay, I will R3 Drake instead. Whew, easy solution! Thanks!

[nocturne pawn]

half sync rounds are so funny with my ss brendan

double head start means 1 turn into support ex

and since its all set up i can get 2 smun and support ex on origin pulse

[manic dust]

Man one day I'm going to get SS Brendan haha

[swift swan]

It's interesting since ss brendan has a 1 turn set up and appreciates the fast sync too

[mellow linden]

Oh, didn’t realize you were on Round 3 (must’ve missed that before, my bad)

So yeah, definitely better to save him for later

[manic dust]

Okay so R4 is getting better -- I got down to the sides and then they killed me. But most of the time Absol Dark Pulses everyone to death

[mellow linden]

Hmm

Do you think you’d have time to do the final 2 stages if you waited until you EXd Hop?

[manic dust]

Oh for sure! I should be able to EX him by tomorrow

[mellow linden]

Could try waiting then, EX Hop means you can get Support EX, and he can be gridded for Adrenaline so you can guarantee 2 Syncs before Sidney Syncs

[manic dust]

Oh sweet, yeah that sounds like it would work out well. I'll try again tomorrow thanks!

[mellow linden]

No problem

[twin flare]

I'm having trouble beating Drake and Sidney at 2.5k

Has anyone got a video of a tactic beating them?

[nocturne pawn]

drake you need to replace weather otherwise you’re getting brutalized unless you’re off typing with water

sidney has paralysis before sync

which is very annoying to deal with

[twin flare]

I could maybe off type it, I do have some strong water types

[wide adder]

Having trouble picking which support would help this team the most.

Deciding to use marnie for move dps and Serena for nuke

[tired sleet]

You’d want to bring someone with +4 SpAtk
Falkner or Elio would probably work
(SS Elesa/Lillietea are also good but they’re weak to dark)

[wide adder]

would cgio have trouble? or is falkner prob my best choice?

[tired sleet]

CGio would be good as long as he survives long enough

[wide adder]

oh, boss has close combat, cant do cgio

[hushed sorrel]

Finally only took a week 😂 can do that dragon stage easier

[wide adder]

bleh, sydneys so tanky. maybe +11 str is too much for this team

[wide adder]

ended up swapping pserena for alillie and using sonia to full buff marnie. god that was awkward either way

ok why the fuck was i doing literally tickles of damage with cmarnie vs phoebe. it took almost 2 enemy sync cycles to kill with pserena, cmarnie, ldawn.

i know i didnt have special reduction on

(r2 btw)

[nocturne pawn]

healthy advantage

[wide adder]

but wouldnt paralysis from pserena turn that off?

[nocturne pawn]

i forgot what she did

i feel like maybe it was standard damage reduction then

[wide adder]

no, just str+12 and presync shenanigans offtype

[nocturne pawn]

no clue then

it shouldve been fine

[wide adder]

well, either way made it to champion @ 10k so far, gonna eat then figure out what team ima use there... would use summer n and anni n team but, id need a support that can provide status at the least...

already used sonia and shes sorta my go-to thought for status support

might not be fully up to date but,

[nocturne pawn]

just toxic stall it

even with all 4* it works

it wants to be toxic stalled really

[wide adder]

i find toxic stall boring usually

[mellow linden]

If you wanna do an offense clear then Roxie + Lucy + Hilbert or Sonia can beat Wallace

[spring fable]

what should i do with glacia with sentry entry?

[nocturne pawn]

probably off type

[spring fable]

okie

any order i should do the CS?

[nocturne pawn]

avoid r3 sidney

[spring fable]

was trying glacia r1 but struggling

with solga

[zealous karma]

What was the team?

Or does your Solgaleo not have pb

[spring fable]

it does

team was hilbert, MC and sc steven

i offtyped it tho

[zealous karma]

Wth how did that team not work lel is hilbert not Ex?

[old orchid]

Sentry Entry x2 makes ontype Solgaleo dmg offtype. So its better to bring stronger offtype dmg dealer

[swift swan]

Solgaleo and sc steven should wreck regardless, no? it's R1 too

[zealous karma]

With scsteven and hilbert it should be fine even against sentry entry

[old orchid]

[north crown]

At this point I would advise them to poison stall

Seems like they’re having too much trouble despite the overkill team

[zealous karma]

They already said they off typed

This is without me syncing with Hilbert

[old orchid]

Maybe param issue

[zealous karma]

That’s likely it, cause I run strength 12 max offensives I could’ve taken standard damage reduction

[unreal radish]

Nanu my beloved

[manic dust]

Just updating that it DID finally work omg. It took forever to get the right mix of RNG to take him out, and I used SC Steven to help bulk up Mina and put up status guard. But now I have finally crawled across the finish line for this week lol.

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[swift swan]

[manic dust]

Thank you!!

[unreal radish]

Good job

[thin pecan]

How are we supposed to beat the steel stage this week

[toxic cobalt]

Raihan or AnniTate

Or just use a physical steel round 1

[zealous karma]

Anni tate?

[toxic cobalt]

Uh

Seasonal Tate

[zealous karma]

Summer lel

[toxic cobalt]

I get confused because they're celebrating a festival

[thin pecan]

I tried using Raihan but he barely did any damage by the time they died

[old orchid]

or offtype with special damage dealer

Raihan right?

what parameters are you using?

he should destroy Glacia easily

[thin pecan]

Post sync special

[old orchid]

who are his teammates

[wicked pebble]

How does this look for current CS?

Wanting to handle it before trying the water stuff.

[old orchid]

looking good

what move level is your Lance

also you should shut down Drake's rain

bring a weather support like SS Morty

if you have him

[old orchid]

then he doesnt have crit

replace him with Cyrus

and use a better tank if you cant afford a weather support

[wicked pebble]

This better?

Just worried on gauge for the Drake team

[old orchid]

SS Morty should handle gauge fine

note that SS Morty buffs crit very slow and depends on sun to buff

[hushed sorrel]

So many units I want

[clever bronze]

I used lucy, ex roxie, and nc calem against wallace and I got frozen

https://tenor.com/view/frozen-pb-gif-20393523

what did you guys use?

[nocturne pawn]

i just stalled

lucy ariados and bp morty

janine to 4*

[zealous karma]

I used Roxie hilbert and SSDiantha lel

[plush tangle]

ss gio goes brrr

[clever bronze]

i'ma just poison stall

being frozen doesn't matter with poison stalling right

[clever bronze]

what if i have 3/5 ss leaf?

my poison stall team used to be ss leaf janine smisty

[nocturne pawn]

ss leaf instead of lucy

[zealous karma]

Roxie and koga erasure I’m crying

[nocturne pawn]

that takes effort though

[zealous karma]

Usinr Roxie takes like 0 effort lel she can 3K on type at 4 star

[clever bronze]

i got frozen

mine is 5/5 6ex

[zealous karma]

I never even let him atyack cause it went so fast

[clever bronze]

i play at 1x speed

[zealous karma]

Can always bring an anti status unit

[nocturne pawn]

who

[zealous karma]

Wallace

[clever bronze]

like who

marley?

[zealous karma]

She works ye

[clever bronze]

i have 1/5 ex ball guy

[zealous karma]

Roxie needs a better offensive buffer than him

[clever bronze]

3/5 nc calem

so nc calem marley roxie

[zealous karma]

That works very well lel

You may want to grid either Roxie or Marley for HE cause he has to just physical

This is a 3K on type, Lucy + Roxie used to be my go to poison but SSDiantha is a better nuker but they’re a great duo for most poison stages Wallace has aoe moves but I never saw him use them lel

[mellow linden]

Yeah, I run Roxie + Lucy + Sonia or Hilbert (would need to be 3/5+ for crit buffs) for Poison weak stages

[clever bronze]

done

[zealous karma]

Hop has Ex now too so he’s also a valid option

Nice

[clever bronze]

only wallace got poisoned after nc calem sync

[mellow linden]

Is Lucy not gridded?

[clever bronze]

i ran marley roxie nc calem

roxie sync did 18k to wallace 7k to sides

still won presync

[mellow linden]

If it works it works, though I'd personally recommend trying out Roxie + Lucy + Hilbert or Sonia for an offense-oriented Poison clear in the future

[clever bronze]

i tried lucy roxie 3/5 nc calem first and i got frozen

[mellow linden]

Well Freeze will have a chance to happen regardless and I'd personally say Sonia or Hilbert is a better Support than Champ Calem for a Roxie + Lucy team

[clever bronze]

ok

[mellow linden]

Assuming Sonia/Hilbert is 3/5+, that is

[clever bronze]

5/5

both

[mellow linden]

Yeah, should be an easy time then. The big thing they give over Champ Calem is Speed buffs so Roxie can get Ramming Speed setup faster

[clever bronze]

marley had x speed all

[mellow linden]

Lucy offers reliable Poison so Roxie can run Toxic Power as well

The idea of the Roxie + Lucy team (at least the way I run it) is that Roxie runs a full Poison Jab grid while Lucy Sync nukes, so the combination of Speed buffs from your offensive Support and reliable Poison from Lucy is important

[clever bronze]

[wide adder]

tomorrows cs looks pretty easy unless theres any really annoying gimmicks thatd stop alder/anni lillie/anni n/sserika

dont see any passives thatd immediately screw my dps over at least...

[proud axle]

Alder vs Bug-weak Sidney? Watch out for Snarls. He and one sidekick have it.

I don't see any issues with Lillie vs Phoebe.
N vs Glacia might have a minor issue with one sidekick using X SpDef All-- and of course the two hailstorms (one on entry, one right before sync)

You didn't mention anyone for Ice Drake, but... we've seen him three times this month so you probably already have a countermeasure

[grand trout]

Hmmm

Maybe i should go physical pheromosa for drake

[proud axle]

I don't see any obvious problems with SSErika vs Steven either, unless he gets his Psy Terrain out. But you've probably knocked him out by then-- or at least before he syncs

[grand trout]

Sidney*

[proud axle]

Both of Steven's sidekicks use Rockslide after he goes down... that could be a problem.
It says here they only have 1MP for it, though. What do they do after that...?

[tired sleet]

Koga, Janine, BP Janine
I love nuking with Koga 💜

[proud axle]

Koga, his daughter, and one of her gym trainers disguised as her

[tired sleet]

Her shadow clone isn’t a gym leader

[old orchid]

nor Koga's daughter

[proud axle]

Is it a shadow clone when it's an actual person impersonating her

[tired sleet]

I never subscribed to that theory

[toxic cobalt]

Ghost should be easy, just use Giovanni. Silver should clear fire pretty effectively.

Others are a bit more tricky, but you could build up Bugsy and Candice

Grass hurting from a lack of Brendan

I imagine in addition to stalling you can just throw DJGloria and LySSandre at something

[undone ether]

Today is our Week 151 right?

[toxic cobalt]

That's what Lost says

[undone ether]

this is difficult 😭

that should do it rofl

if Steven is weak to Poison

SS Leaf lets go haha

[swift swan]

updated! W parameters

[toxic cobalt]

THIS WEEK IS FANTASTIC

FIVE BANGERS

[zealous karma]

It’s Monday?

I feel like I forgot to do CS

[old orchid]

[toxic cobalt]

You can do it now

[zealous karma]

He spammed snarl every turn what are the odds of that lel

Sidney hits like a truck wth

[spare arch]

best order for today's csmm?

[toxic cobalt]

Just avoid Sidney/Drake in Round 3

The rest is really flexible

[old orchid]

take advantage of round parameters to benefit your team

[zealous karma]

Woah bugsy hits so hard in bug zone!

[toxic cobalt]

Is Glacia physical or special?

[old orchid]

special

[toxic cobalt]

Sad, the burn stall had such potential

[zealous karma]

lol

[grand trout]

Are rebuffs counted as stat debuffs ?

[old orchid]

well Lessen Burn already shut down the burn penalty anyway

[old orchid]

no

[grand trout]

Aw

[toxic cobalt]

Glacia has reduced mitigation!

[zealous karma]

How much do I have to pay dena to give bugsy Ex

[grand trout]

How about star reset from snatch/soul steal

[rigid flint]

Ohoho I can do Glacia r4

[old orchid]

debuffs are stats that go negative

not at 0

[rigid flint]

Glacia's boutta have one hell of a time

[toxic cobalt]

Might r2 sidney to see what Bugsy's poison can do then

[rigid flint]

Aw noo I can't use SS Silver against Drake unless I bring in a potion user

And I'll have to switch out Sandstorm

[pure haven]

Man she has both entries

[toxic cobalt]

Those aren't the entries we are worried about

It's the Sentry Entry x2 that matters, as that doubles base defence

Stat ranks just means they buff a bit

[pure haven]

Oh wait

[zealous karma]

They’ve yet to give a stage doubke entry x2

[pure haven]

There's Sentry Entry 2 and x2?

Lmao

[old orchid]

Dena wording

[pure haven]

Didn't know about that

Yeah then it isn't that bad

I'm guessing I'll be fine with these teams

Maybe even change ssRed for Hilda and swap Lucian for something else

[toxic cobalt]

Keep in mind Drake has actual wise entry

[pure haven]

I know

[toxic cobalt]

You'll probably just power through it though

[pure haven]

Gonna try with Giovanni anyways

[old orchid]

oh c'mon, Ice weak Drake again

[pure haven]

Yup

I ran out of lucky cookies lol

[swift swan]

looks alright

Ghetsis and Irida will power through

[undone ether]

this should do it. lmao

[pure haven]

Man I played like trash against Phoebe and still won

[undone ether]

now then, R2 Glacia will be a nightmare. :/

[pure haven]

I don't wanna deal with ice weak Drake again

[undone ether]

hmm i could do R1 Drake too

[swift swan]

you dealt with it before, you can do it again

it's a good way to see improvement

[pure haven]

Yeah

I know I can do it

Doesn't take out the fact that it sucks to fight him

[formal vigil]

Aoe hell

[undone ether]

Okay.
R1 Sidney or Drake
R2 Drake?
R3 Glacia
R4 Either Phoebe or whose left.

[spare arch]

is irida good with ghetsis

[undone ether]

Very

[formal vigil]

Very ice zone debuffs special defence and speed

[undone ether]

I guess its R1 Sidney, R2 Drake, R3 Glacia and R4 Phoebe

oh crap. he has psychic terrain

[wet gate]

Who should I put in the last slot?

[undone ether]

Mewtwo if you aren't already using him

[old orchid]

a Ghost type dmg dealer, ofc

[wet gate]

i was thinking of offtype

but ok

[old orchid]

you have pairs to make ontype easy anyway

[wet gate]

ok

[pure haven]

Man I'm having hard skill issue against Drake, ain't hitting any of these quadq

[wet gate]

but now i have nothing to increase mewtwo's special atk

[old orchid]

replace SS Blue with a special support

[old orchid]

what team are you using?

[wet gate]

sycamore?

or too overkill

[pure haven]

cBede, Ghetsis and Irida

But don't worry

I did it

It just that I wasn't hitting the quadq

Literally skill issue lol

[old orchid]

[old orchid]

do you plan to use him in another team?

[wet gate]

idk i havent started making any other teams yet

[old orchid]

you can go with Torchic or Sabrina

[wet gate]

ill see if i need him in any other teams

[verbal karma]

Damn, was I not supposed to use a physical attacker on Phoebe?

[keen jasper]

Man, fuck Hop's Freevenge

[wet gate]

Should I do R2 on Gliacia or Drake?

[keen jasper]

Or fuck Freevenge in general

[pure haven]

Hilda was killing herself and then I remembered I haven't grid her yet

[wet gate]

Since Glacia is recommended Burn and Drake is recommended Freeze

[main trellis]

am i tripping or is Glacia hard as fuck

like I have a lot of good fire type units but i cant seem to do anything

[old orchid]

do your teams really need to inflict these statuses?

[wet gate]

idk is it important

[old orchid]

its not

[wet gate]

ok

[lethal cloud]

its good to have, but its not impt

[wet gate]

then who should i put on r2

[old orchid]

anyone

[undone ether]

Burn is recommended to Glacia?

[wet gate]

yeah

[undone ether]

Huh

[wet gate]

if u press the + on the battle screen

[old orchid]

she just has lower burn resistance

nothing major

[wet gate]

ok

[undone ether]

But she has Blizzard 😭

[old orchid]

so...?

[undone ether]

R2 Drake it is UWU

[wet gate]

who do i want on r3 since all of them are physical

[main trellis]

yea i cant seem to 2.5k glacia...

idek

[undone ether]

actually funny enough, i can do Pal Bea + Holiday Leon + Variety Lorelei o,o

[old orchid]

avoid Drake and Sidney

[pure haven]

Show us what u have tho

[tired sleet]

Do you not have silver’s pb/ex?

[wet gate]

ok

[main trellis]

i do

[wet gate]

if i do glacia r3 should i use ss red or no

since hes special atk

[keen jasper]

Yeah, I fucking hate counter abilities in this game

[spare arch]

wtf r3 phoebe

[tired sleet]

That with a sun setter and attack/speed buffer should be a clear without too much strice

[verbal karma]

So for further context: I am doing R1 Phoebe with Renegade Cynthia/Fallcerola/Kiawe

[pure haven]

U shouldn't be having problems with Glacia

[verbal karma]

...is that a bad team for this or...?

[pure haven]

Maybe it's a params thing?

[main trellis]

Silver + SS Morty + atk buffer?

[lethal cloud]

that should destroy Glacia as long as sun is up when Silver syncs

[main trellis]

might be

if someone can list some params i can use that would be great

i cleared the other 3 no problem

altho i did offtype one of them

[pure haven]

Check pins

[main trellis]

ty

[tired sleet]

Yea, if you have Lyra it should work pretty well

[verbal karma]

...so am I supposed to use a special attacker against Phoebe instead or...?

[swift swan]

hm? no

she has sentry entry 2, not sentry entry x2

she only buffs her defense by two stat ranks, which can be ignored by crits

[main crow]

Phoebe don't have any of the passive entry

Just throw your most powerful ghost pair

[wet gate]

How is this team for r3?

[tired sleet]

It should work well

[wet gate]

ok

[pure haven]

Man this was hard to achieve but it was fun seeing them die with one Hilda sync lol

Man Noland/Bugsy it's really fun wth

Which one would be funnier? I'm running Hilbert/Victor/scSteven

[meager agate]

congrats you got the 100,000th message on this post

[pure haven]

[meager agate]

because i saw the counter tick over by complete accident

[pure haven]

Lmao

How can u look that? Or only mods can?

[pure haven]

Ohhh

[wet gate]

Who should I put in the 2 slots? My order is phoebe sidney glacia drake

[meager agate]

i saw it go from “99999” to “100k+” so

[wet gate]

Wait nevermind my 4th team

[pure haven]

Ur off typing Sydney?

Prolly something to reduce sp def

Iirc Diantha is special

[wet gate]

There

[pure haven]

Do u have ssBrendan?

[wet gate]

Diantha is physical

[formal vigil]

Why lisia on n team

[pure haven]

Lol nvm me then

[wet gate]

whats sc

[pure haven]

Do u have Masked Royal then?

[wet gate]

for clear field effect

[wet gate]

ye

[pure haven]

U can try him

For Diantha team

[formal vigil]

Defog doesn't remove weather

[wet gate]

oh what

[pure haven]

You can also try Kukui if u have it

[wet gate]

diantha debuffs defence to -6

[swift swan]

it removes shields, zones, and terrains, not weather

[cinder summit]

:information_source: | No move found with that name

[wet gate]

ok

[formal vigil]

You just have to bring another weather setter

[pure haven]

Ffs I always forget how to use the bot

[wet gate]

hail?

[pure haven]

Wanted to show defog lol

[wet gate]

but i dont htink hail affects ss n

[cinder summit]

Hail works

[pure haven]

Ty nov

[wet gate]

ok

[undone ether]

R2.... Hahahaha...

6 sync moves in lmao

[pure haven]

So uh, asking again, which one would be funnier with Hilbert/Victor/scSteven?

[pure haven]

U were running post sync?

[undone ether]

Drake didnt even hit variety lorelei for fatal either

[undone ether]

Yep

[pure haven]

Lmao

[verbal karma]

...am I just using a bad team then?

I thought Renegade Cynthia/Fallcerola/Kiawe is pretty good

[undone ether]

2/5 variety lorelei is actually gonna get 3/5 at this rate lmao

[pure haven]

Gonna run stat-lowering effects

[undone ether]

I did like

Presync

[swift swan]

parameters maybe? physical/special damage reduction

ssr cynthia is a mixed attacker

[undone ether]

Using holiday leon, pal bea and irida

[wet gate]

Ok how are these final teams

[undone ether]

He's too tough orz

[verbal karma]

Special reduction is on

[pure haven]

Sycamore two times

[zealous karma]

That looks like it didn’t crit anyone

[wet gate]

oh whoops

[swift swan]

who's syncing? cynthia or acerola?

i'm not very familiar with fall acerola's nuke

[pure haven]

It did 27k on mid tho

[wet gate]

i already used tapu bulu for glacia so i have no support for round 5

[verbal karma]

...actually, Kiawe does his first sync since he's EX'd

[pure haven]

Do u have any physical supports?

Not like Adaman needs it, but still

Sonia maybe?

[verbal karma]

...now that I think about it, do I really need both Fallcerola and Renegade Cynthia at the same time?

[wet gate]

like supports that buff defence?

[pure haven]

Supports that buff attack

[zealous karma]

Oh lel

[wet gate]

yeah i have sonya

[zealous karma]

Well it didn’t crit either side which is Unfort

[pure haven]

Can u send me your supports?

[swift swan]

what move level is cynthia?

[pure haven]

Yeah I wanted to do big peepee damage

[swift swan]

she can carry giovanni, easy

[vestal onyx]

are we not advcied to poison stall the bug weak stag this week?

[swift swan]

and the second one?

[pure haven]

U can always poison stall

[vestal onyx]

it hits so damn fucking hard

[swift swan]

it's gonna be quite hard if you don't remove the zone, but you can always stall

[vestal onyx]

hahah

[swift swan]

sidney also has very high offenses

[pure haven]

Did u already used ssBlue?

Hilbert works too

Aaron

U have a lot of great supports

[wet gate]

so ss blue for round 5

[pure haven]

Yeah

[wet gate]

This good?

[pure haven]

Good enough

[wet gate]

Ok thanks

[pure haven]

Also, have u made ur tracker?

[rigid flint]

Is this Hard Mode?

[pure haven]

It makes it easier to help you

[wet gate]

whats that

[pure haven]

I think it's MM

+help

Wait what was the command again?

[undone ether]

Hehe lets go. Tbh this shouldve been infinite fields oh wells

[rigid flint]

Interesting

[verbal karma]

3/5

so is Fallcerola

[old orchid]

+helpfaq

[frozen depot]

Help our Helpers here provide you with better assistance by following these steps:

1. Fill out this roster tracker https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/ using this video guide : https://imgur.com/a/2ONrAcl
2. Tell us what stage you're doing, this includes also the round and your parameters if it's on Master Mode.
3. Footage is important, show screenshots of your team or gameplay where it fails, every detail helps.
4. Specific notes on what happened during the fight and what steps you did are appreciated as well.

[pure haven]

Ty

[rigid flint]

Wait if its MM why the offtype with the MR, SS Diantha and CBede team?

[verbal karma]

but the difference is that Fallcerola is EX'd while SSR Cynthia is now

[rigid flint]

Oh hi Trin

[verbal karma]

...I was going to EX Renegade Cynthia eventually, just never found a good opportuni-
Oh, heya

[pure haven]

I guess he doesn't have any bug striker

Bugsy/Noland hits hard tho

[rigid flint]

True

[pure haven]

[wet gate]

do i have to update the tracker every time i upgrade any of my sync pairs

[rigid flint]

How're the runs going?

[pure haven]

It is advisable

[rigid flint]

Would probably be helpful to

[pure haven]

You can save a backup anyway

[verbal karma]

Not well: R1 Phoebe is killing SSR Cynthia too quickly

[vestal onyx]

thinking if i should just offtype lys the fire stage or go for heat wave lysandre

[pure haven]

So that you don't loose any progress

[rigid flint]

Hmm interesting

[wet gate]

ok

[rigid flint]

Are you doing pre sync?

[verbal karma]

Yeah

[pure haven]

Do u have ssBrendan by any chance?

[swift swan]

she can definitely be the only damage dealer there if you want

[pure haven]

Giovanni/ssrCynthia shouldn't have problems beating Phoebe

Maybe it's a params thing

[verbal karma]

...I actually do...should I replace SSR Cynthia with him then?

[swift swan]

run them together

[pure haven]

What team are u running? I cleared it with ssBrendan, Giovanni and ssrCynthia

[swift swan]

ss brendan is there to set up smarty pants

[rigid flint]

Wait Trin, you were using Kiawe beforehand right?

[pure haven]

I played like trash and still won with that team

[verbal karma]

Yeah, to debuff Defense

[rigid flint]

Ah then there's the issue

You can't presync with Kiawe due to his MGA

Unless

Do you have Head Start on him?

[verbal karma]

I can't presync anyway, actually

[pure haven]

Petition to delete reactive passives

[rigid flint]

Kiawe is pretty frail

[verbal karma]

since I am relying too much on Shadow Force and Phantom Force

[rigid flint]

Ah

Tell you what

[verbal karma]

...maybe I should really use post sync params instead

[swift swan]

well that's your problem

[pure haven]

Why not run Giovanni tho?

[swift swan]

stick to shadow ball

[rigid flint]

Don't rely on those 2 moves first

[swift swan]

don't use the two turn moves

[pure haven]

He hits like a truck

[swift swan]

cynthia's shadow ball and nuke is enough, trust

[rigid flint]

Wait until after Cynthia syncs

[pure haven]

Also yeah, shadow force it's meh

[rigid flint]

Then use Shadow Force

Shadow Force is good once mid is gone

[swift swan]

ss brendan/giovanni/ssr cynthia is very very free

[pure haven]

Yup

[verbal karma]

...problem: it's Fallcerola who syncs, not Cynthia

At least after Kiawe...or so is my plan, at least

[rigid flint]

Cynthia is probably more reliable then Acerola

[verbal karma]

since Fallcerola is EX'd

and not SSR Cynthia

[swift swan]

doesn't matter

the problem is you're using two-turn moves

preventing you from presyncing properly

[rigid flint]

Acerola doesn't have much of a nuke

[swift swan]

the point still stands. use those two-turn moves only after mid is down

[rigid flint]

Yeah

[verbal karma]

Okay, understood

[rigid flint]

Don't use them after your support EX sync

Also swap out Kiawe with someone else if possible

First turn MGA messes with quad queueing

[verbal karma]

True!

[pure haven]

Man this week was free

[verbal karma]

Hmm...maybe replace Kiawe with Leaf then?

[rigid flint]

That works

[swift swan]

i'd run a support that can buff quicker

but sure

[pure haven]

Welp, time to team build for next week

[undone ether]

Damn. I couldnt use ssr cynthia here. She spams ghost attacks orz

[verbal karma]

...damn, even with Leaf's EX support sync buff and Cynthia's own buffs, her sync can't kill Phoebe before Phoebe does her own sync

[rigid flint]

You did use ghost zone right?

[pure haven]

Did ssrCynthia sync crit?

Man just imagine if we get Kalos CS next month

[verbal karma]

Yes

[verbal karma]

Failed to check, sadly

[pure haven]

Maybe it was that

ssrCynthia should kill mid with sync

Ground weak and Fairy weak Steven and Sydney next week

[manic kiln]

how do you struggle with 3/5? I presync with 1/5 ssr cynthia

[pure haven]

Oh wait I have Victor

[last palm]

Support surely outdated :v dont even flinch to survive

[undone ether]

I forgot to buff crit lmao

all the defense buffs, + the physical shields = 160k sync damage.

lets go~

i hit 80k in center

I could've also did like, Electric Terrain or something to take all the speed buffs

all in all, postsync 100% o/

[pure haven]

I guess this will be fine for next week

[undone ether]

i'm not sure yet. but i'm looking at Glacia Fighting week .-.;

[pure haven]

Oh wait Olivia has inertia

[old orchid]

she can max speed in 2 turns with Amped Up 1 + 2

[pure haven]

She should go down fairly easily with Bea

[undone ether]

she doesnt set Hail right?

[pure haven]

Nope

[undone ether]

Hmm

[pure haven]

I just looked it up

[undone ether]

guess i can do

Aura Cynthia + 5/5 EX Bea + SS May i guess

either SS May or NC Hop

[last palm]

Bea + 2 egg mon

[undone ether]

SS May's been quite a help though so i'll try those two.

[last palm]

[pure haven]

I'm not running amped up 2 tho

[old orchid]

replace Hop then

[pure haven]

I could maybe swap Hilbert

Yeah

[undone ether]

Fairy weak. issh.

i think i can play with Xerneas i guess?

[pure haven]

I hope Hop can tank Sidney

[undone ether]

• Pal Serena

if Sidney isn't gonna be doing Paralyze stuff

i can field 2/5 NY Lisia for that.

[toxic cobalt]

What did you do last week? It's the same.

[pure haven]

He's using paralyze

[verbal karma]

Okay, now I checked, and even with SSR Cynthia's sync critting, it's still not enough to beat mid 😦

[undone ether]

pain

[verbal karma]

and the mid had her defense debuffed, too

[pure haven]

That's wierd

Could be a params thing at this point

[undone ether]

Oh okay

last week i used Xerneas + Pal Serena + NC Calem

good enough i guess. .-.~

[verbal karma]

I am not sure if SSR Cynthia can even survive post-sync params tbh

hence why I gotta stick with pre-sync params

[pure haven]

What team are u running again?

[undone ether]

what other ghost-type do you have? o-o?

[verbal karma]

Renegade Cynthia/Fallcerola/Leaf

[pure haven]

No, I mean, maybe u r using too bulky params and maybe that's why Phoebe it's surviving

[verbal karma]

Oh...well, I am just using pre-sync params...

[pure haven]

Hmmm

[toxic cobalt]

Why Leaf?

[verbal karma]

Who would you suggest instead of Leaf?

[pure haven]

It's kind of annoying to run ssrCynthia since u r hitting with shadow ball and syncing with a physical sync

That's why I suggested running ssBrendan/Giovanni/ssrCynthia

Giovanni doesn't need EX nor PB to work btw

[verbal karma]

Well, my original plan was that Fallcerola would do the post support sync buff syncing...

since Fallcerola is EX'd

[pure haven]

Wait why's Hoenn running for 5 weeks ?

It's because of the two champions?

[manic kiln]

CS always fit into a month, and the new one starts in a new month

31st is a Monday but still in July

[pure haven]

Hoenn it's taking one week from next month tho

Oh I see what u mean

[halcyon sail]

I miss Kalos CS

[swift swan]

What params are you running

I hope you replace all the no stat reduction/no weather/etc etc with strength and not HP

I have no faith in fall acerola's sync, not even EX, if you give the opponents too much bulk

[manic kiln]

it'll be back in september, if dena is still on schedule

[pure haven]

Doesn't strenght add bulk too?

[swift swan]

I miss Kalos CS, I want the music

[pure haven]

Not as much as HP but still

[swift swan]

Exactly

The difference is immense

[pure haven]

He did said he's running the ones on the doc

I think

So idk how he's not deleting mid with sync

[trail smelt]

Man I am losing my touch, Sidney who never gave me problems before is suddenly very annoying this week. Finally Guzma smashed his head in. The rest are easy even with the wrong loadout (I’m looking at you PalBea)

Ready for next week

[pure haven]

Monotype

[pure haven]

Take max hp out and put strenght 1

That's why they are surviving sync

[swift swan]

The doc does state that some params can be replaced and adjusted accordingly but there have been cases of people not knowing, or changing to params that make the run much harder than it should be

[pure haven]

Oh wait

U r not running strikers

Then use atk and sp atk 1 + striker takes damage x3

[pure haven]

Oh yeah

I used to change params too much and ended up fucking everything lol

[swift swan]

Strength 9? And max HP 2 on top of that. That's waaay too much bulk

Use the presync params in the doc

[pure haven]

Strenght 9 ain't that bad

[swift swan]

Replace some parameters like no zone/no stat reduction with Strength

[pure haven]

Problem is Max HP 2

[swift swan]

Strength 9 and max Hp 2 gives Phoebe 40k HP

[pure haven]

Sheeesh

[swift swan]

Not the worst in the world but you don't need to make your run harder like that

[pure haven]

Yeah

Still I would much rather run striker x3 and atk and sp atk 1 instead of Max HP 2

[swift swan]

[pure haven]

You take a lot of bulk out

[swift swan]

Idk why you always love to take Max HP 2, Trin. Attack 1 isn't anything dangerous

[pure haven]

Yeah

If it was atk 5 or even 3 I would understand

But a 10% more damage it's nothing

[pure haven]

Or the three atk buffers like a psycho I'm looking at you Nov

[swift swan]

I torture my tanks with max attack + both PoH all the time!

Nothing better than seeing SS Blue get two-shotted!

[formal vigil]

[pure haven]

Idk how u even manage to sync by doing that lmao

[verbal karma]

Wait, did the doc get changed again?

Because those params were from the doc last time I checked

[pure haven]

They got corrected

Last one's made pre sync too bulky

[verbal karma]

Welp, even with the new pre-sync params, Cynthia's sync doesn't deal enough damage...

...then again, I did use the "More HP" version of the Presync params

I...am kinda too scared to ude the "More Attack" version of the Presync params

SSR Cynthia is already incredibly squishy as is

[last palm]

👀 just pick all strength is my params

[verbal karma]

Oh god

Leaf can't survive the "More Attack" version of the Presync params 😦

[pure haven]

Welp, idk what to tell u anymore. I already told u a really good team that has not problems beating Phoebe yet you don't want to take my advice

[verbal karma]

Well, I still want to try with my current team right now because I can just feel that I should be able to win with them...

...okay, what's less bulky, Def + Sp. Def ^3 or Max HP ^2?

[sick inlet]

Max hp

Def+sp.def will make you feel like you're not even doing damage

[verbal karma]

Ok

[sick inlet]

Max hp is basically you're gonna shred through it with a sync nuke or something

[last palm]

I find max HP is a bit hard tho since you have to pick other things like strength or atk. And after they stall 1 or 2 sync you just say good game

[lethal cloud]

Personally I will only pick %hp params if the stage recommends status such as poison or burn and my units are capable of inflicting that or unless my DPS unit is strong enough to nuke off the extra hp

[verbal karma]

Damn, I can now ALMOST beat Phoebe before she syncs

Literally only one pixel of health was left for her

[last palm]

👀Ghost stage?
