Just to be aware I am doing this run for fun I am done with CS this week
long thicket
Did it with with Cinderace, Leon and Morty for sun.
Actually worked.
mellow linden
Should be able to KO the center before they Sync regardless
Bolt Strike under Electric Terrain is a lot of damage
onyx ice
For fire weak I used 6ex Anni N sync nuke
mellow linden
Should be able to KO with just Bolt Strikes, but overall a 5/5 Elesa probably has more going for her
onyx ice
1/5 N still has pretty solid dps
tribal agate
just to confirm does Sonia actually have critical squad activated and buffs +3 crit to N
i've seen that happen before (no grid)
mellow linden
MP Refresh resets are a fact of CS most of the time
swift swan
Resetting in CS is inevitable lol
mellow linden
That’s like, the one piece of RNG you’ll basically always have to deal with
onyx ice
For electric weak I just steamrolled with NC Blue + rats
mellow linden
I did Triple Elesa
nocturne pawn
MP Refresh resets are a fact of CS most of the time
or critting syncs
i swear to god
mellow linden
It do be like that sometimes
onyx ice
With elesa I generally go elesa, Nita, classic elesa
manic mica
Took long enough
The trick for this was tanking and rng
And putting SE up on N's sync
And rng
And thunder fang abuse
And killing Octillery
After sync
versed meteor
Wait why is malva sentry entry you know like its not there
nocturne pawn
With elesa I generally go elesa, Nita, classic elesa
no support ex?

Wait why is malva sentry entry you know like its not there
because she just is

If Olivia hasn't gotten an expanded grid she should get soften up , haymaker and her ex role should be tech
That would be a very broken f2p unit
keen jasper
Honestly, just make all strikers have Tech EX Role and tech units have Striker EX Role

That’s a great idea until you think about why that’s a horrible idea for someone like Summer Liza who’s nuke is already too strong

i thought it was still beat by skyla

Skyla is single target

Then just follow it with Giga Impact
nocturne pawn
Skyla is single target
i know
silent plinth
Lets just say, she pre-synced Diantha for me this week on Max HP and Max Strength
And I didn’t even use the 2nd sync
nocturne pawn
And I didn’t even use the 2nd sync
with zone?
silent plinth
No
onyx ice
I mean giga impact alone with a physical move next grid next nuke I think hits about as hard as skyla sync post support ex

My team was SC Steven / Pal Elesa / Summer Liza

Sprint works only for 1st sync I think
versed meteor
Damn i thought it was on every sync
nocturne pawn
sprint ex is effectively adrenaline 3
onyx ice
It's like adrenaline it works only once
grand steppe
Sprint is just good in general for most supports.
versed meteor
Field role is setting field not every sync
nocturne pawn
also first sync
but its extended
i think they prototyped field ex with the alola va units
onyx ice
Sprint is great if you plan to nuke second sync
nocturne pawn
cuz its exactly the same concept just infinite instead of once
grand steppe
Field also applies the zone before the sync is calculated. You just see it active after the move animation completes.

Still haven't used victor for anything

The free and general pool pairs generally range from decent to amazing, proper teambuilding/gameplay/in the case of Master Mode parameters are more important than any broken limited
brave topaz
is 1/5 n better than 5/5 elesa
zealous karma
i.e is he able to pre sync with raw dps
I am pretty sure hes just worse than her in all aspects until hes 3/5
He is verhy worth investing 3/5 into but ideally 3/5
tired sleet
5/5 Elesa, 1/5 SEUN N, N
Elesa’s sync is much higher, N’s DPS is much higher
Elesa has brawn sync, inertia, and ramming speed
zealous karma
Oh strange I always thought elesa's damage was higher
tired sleet
Bolt Strike has higher power and N has a much higher attack stat
velvet parcel
Wow!
long thicket
Well, Diantha victory was a bit of a clutch.
But overall, I'd say this week wasn't that bad.
Used Lugia with Staraptor and newly EXed Swellow.
Staraptor is EX too, but I didn't get to sync.
noble plaza
not sure who else to use because many of my fire pairs don't have Crit Hit 2, and not all of my good pairs do either
Irida has Weathered Warrior 3 but she also has a steel weakness. I have 1 WW3 cookie
noble plaza
I KNOW. IT WAS A HUGE RISK
that's why i didn't use her sooner
now to figure out who to use for Koga
It seems Blaine would be super useful here but idk if I wanna save him for Red?
old orchid
do you have other sun setters?
analog timber
Just wanted to report back from Sunday to say thanks. Finally got the 12.5k, albeit with some unorthodox teams, a lot of sleep and heavy flinching
old orchid
thats a lot
noble plaza
yeah for some reason I didn't consider Adaman a sun setter
noble plaza
I'm saving Leon for Red
analog timber
FWIW adaman far outperforms gordie in the sun setter and stand there role, because he uses no gauge essentially and moves sync counter
noble plaza
I have Bluecanine and Lodge Irida as well, but none of them with CS2.
true true
i dont even have Gordie 
old orchid
Bluecanine + Blaine + EX support is good on Koga then
just need to focus on mid to dish out much damage as possible before Koga setting up Crit Shield
noble plaza
he sets it up pre-sync right?
tired sleet
He sets it right before he syncs
noble plaza
yeah thats what i mean

is poison stall a big thing each weak? like does it work always and everywhere or is it niche
left storm
It works on at least a stage every week yes
It's the easiest way for newbies to clear mid-high difficulty
dark osprey
Works on most stages. Some very comfortably and others maybe some effort
rose prism
Have problems beating wikstrom round 2, any suggestions? 2,5k
rose prism
Ah ok, anything else?
old orchid
ideally you should bring a good defense tank because all of them hit hard
but if your dmg dealer is very strong the tank doesnt matter much, just live long enough to pre sync
silver dirge
Have problems beating wikstrom round 2, any suggestions? 2,5k
Are you setting sun?
rose prism
Are you setting sun?
No
old orchid
just note that you need sun for Glacia and Red (for Red stage anyone having 1-time-sun setting like Gordie is fine due to the R5 parameter and Red only sets up hail once)

Tbh
You have so much options haha
So if you use a physical attacker you can just put like Diantha in there for more dmg. You also got gordie for sun. The masked royal if you need to debiff defense. Drasna for special dmg. You could also consider flinch like nanu.

Finally. Win with nc galar trio
mellow linden
What move level is Gordie?
marsh crater
2/5
mellow linden
Can still work, just would need to either start with Gordie’s Max Move as the very 1st action and quadqueue it or bring another form of Sync accel if you wanna skip a cycle
But yeah, other than that pretty much what Gakon said, ideally your Support can also give at least +1 crit (though it’s not required)

I got meganium but weavile just shred it with fury swipe
I got sycamore xerneas
So let sycamore sync first?

She’ll probably be fine even at 1/5, tbh, 3/5 will just offer Team Sharp Entry for smoother gameplay

Oh yeah that sp def buff really do the trick. Thanks guys
And i forgot to orb gordie too
But yeah may is broken if she can stay alive
mellow linden
Gordie doesn’t need grid at 2/5 if he’s just there for Rebuff/Max Flare
And only would care about Head Start at 3/5 if he’s only used for Rebuff/Max Flare
marsh crater
Sp def is all i need. Dang red u trick me
grand trout
When do you set sun? Before sync?
mellow linden
Perma field effects in the Red fight, so just Max Flare immediately and it lasts forever unless Red Syncs
grand trout
Wouldn't that run the risk of it running out/messing up quadqueue
marsh crater
Then let blaziken do all the work

you accidentally picked Physical Dmg Reduction param, thats why they did little damage

you always want to max crit and atk/spatk on dmg dealers asap, so you should replace SS Blue with another support that can easily max those stats

You have a lot of pairs capable of clearing it. Did you read #1010307000346878062 for basic gameplay and check the pins on the “what to know” for the stages?
This CS is more about knowing what you’re up against and knowing how to counter it, instead of just diving in willy-nilly.

I don’t think it would be as effective if you don’t analyze the stage and try it first.
Check the pins, too.

You have Silver and SSRed, if you grid Hilda those are 3 easy clears, you also have CMarnie she’s another free off type as is NCRed with blue

Oh hold on I just noticed Anni N
cinder coyote
Man this week is so hard for me
Because I can just clear siebold with Ash-chu but then the physical damage reduction makes it super hard to deal with Malva, Ghetsis can’t deal with drasna well enough, and I need to bring misty and Vaporeon for wikstrom but that’s a major hindrance
But I still can’t deal with any of the other ones
Even if I don’t cheese siebold

Alright so here’s what i’m thinking:
Grimsley: Anni N / Iris (alt.) / Skyla
Molayne: Neo Bede / Neo Hop / Neo Marnie

Glacia: Neo Blue / Silver / SS Erika
Red: Neo Calem / SS Lysandre / Neo Serena

Google may not be as accurate. We have good resources here.
Also to me, that comment downplays the work we do 
manic kiln
F2p also not great for new players. If you have premium units use them, f2p clears need heavy invesments which new rosters can’t afford

We probably have more people here that know how to build a variety of teams based on skill than youtube has videos of F2P clears

NC Marnie is a good offtype

Hello, I am trying to make a sun team to beat Kalos Challenge Hard lvl 1. I torn between Ponyta and Groudon as my sun setter, I picked Ho-Oh as my main DPS and I am thinking of picking Serena for the AOE Sleep. I would like to ask which sun setter should I go with and what other changes I should make
I should also clarify that my Ho-Oh is the one you get from Legendary adventures as I found out there are 2 Ho-Oh's with the same trainer
trail smelt
? Silver only has 1 Ho-oh, and the other one is with Morty
Is your Silver gridded so it sets the sun everytime it syncs?
paper summit
Solarize is not on his grid, it's a base passive
trail smelt
Ohh right right my bad
Then Maxie works since he automatically sets the sun when the battle starts and makes it lasts longer
bitter sierra
Noted, Groudon will be the Sun setter
I'm thinking of going full Sacred Fire on the Sync grid, You guys think that is a good idea?
swift swan
Sure. But if you're running Serena/Silver/Maxie you might have gauge problems
I'd replace Serena with a proper support
keen jasper
I'd replace Maxie for Blaine and Serena for a support
willow quiver
Why blaine tho?
hushed sorrel
At heck I never knew Silver has solarize lol lolol
They actually made all the legendary kits pretty sick
hushed sorrel
Why blaine tho?
Totally agree Groudon just seems superior in that comp. I would prob throw Hilbert in there as support.
bitter sierra
So say Blain, Silver, SS Elsa?
silver dirge
Is your Silver powerboosted? I'm guessing not?
bitter sierra
Power Boosted?
silver dirge
Did you play the Silver event where you get the free EX and grid expansion?
bitter sierra
We talking about Legendary Adventures?
silver dirge
Nah don't worry then, you're on hard mode it shouldn't matter too much
Don't bring SS Elesa though you wanna buff Silver's physical stats for his sync
Hop is good, Aaron is good, Sonia is good depending on your roster
keen jasper
Power Boosted?
From events called villain arcs
Depending on the region, these events give upgrades to that specific legendary adventures unit from that region
bitter sierra
If its from a limited event no
silver dirge
Yeah they rerun often though you'll get your chance eventually
keen jasper
It's limited, but they rerun
bitter sierra
Noted, When do they rerun?
keen jasper
That is unknown
bitter sierra
I'm sorry for causing confusion as well. I should have mentioned that I am a retuning player
silver dirge
You're all good
bitter sierra
So Blain, Silver, Sonia?
silver dirge
Should work
keen jasper
Your Sonia is 3/5 right?
bitter sierra
1/5...
keen jasper
Then change her
bitter sierra
Hilbert is?
silver dirge
Hilbert/Samurott
keen jasper
Hilbert/Oshawott Line
keen jasper
Then another support
paper summit
I forget if Silver can boost his own attack w/out powerboost?
no, he can only buff his crit
silver dirge
That should be fine no? Silver buffs crit
keen jasper
He needs sun to fully buff his crit, otherwise he's only at 2/3 crit
silver dirge
yeah they've got blaine on team
bitter sierra
So Hilbert should be the tank then? I read his skills and the lower his health the more he buffs attack
silver dirge
yeap
bitter sierra
Alrighty, I now need to farm those exp books
silver dirge
remember to set sun before you use Silver's TM so you can max your crit
bitter sierra
Alrighty, I gotta work on the muscle memory for that one

Use a better buffer for Silver
Can I see your supports?
bitter sierra
bitter sierra
I haven't tried this weeks new challenge yet so no pokemon is locked
So Blain, Silver, Hop?
Alrighty, Time to work on them then
Before I go, I have this Geovani team I think would be good. Bertha (Hippowdon), Geovani (Rhydon), +1. I don't know who that +1 should be
I'm thinking Xerneas to mitigate Geovani's massive Move gage requirements

You don’t build teams around supoorts you usually build them around strikes/techs that makes it easier

was using the ontype post sync params from the pins, tried using elio as a tank

that should work, did you use Sunny Day at the start and after Hail before Glacia's sync?
you can turn on No Stat Reduction and No Interference params for free points
drifting grove
don’t think i used sunny day post sync, usually died around there

so Blaine died to the sync?
did you turn on Tech receives x3 damage?
if yes, turn it off

ok ty
drifting grove
so Blaine died to the sync?
still struggling to beat, all pairs die to first sync even after sunny day

you should save R2 for a physical opponents
on round 2 rn so i’ll do molayne and then come back to glacia

lemme see if you have better tanks than Elio
actually for Elio, you can use Sing to stagger the opponents to buy times for Bluecanine to attack

i'm not too confident with my presync stuff though 😭

I think i did a Hapu clear last time and it was not that hard so limited unit should have no problem, and most of my limited units are 1/5
even a mono ground team should be easy clear, Ingo + Cynthia + Courtney/VLyra

we'll see i guess

Ingo is tanky under sand so presync parameter won't kill him, and your cynthia is 5/5

Just wanted to ask. The ones with 1/5 of the new kanto trio. Which seems to add more value to new rosters?

That's some NC red CS stage tier of annoying

Yeah. I too feel leaf seems better than red

generally Red is better than Leaf, but Leaf is still a solid pick

but most of the time they're at Frozen-8 so... ehh
anywho sleeeep

Like, leaf is a lot of good things in one kit
Red is just straight up silly
calm marsh
Red dmg is very strong
dark osprey
Yeah. At 1/5 only though
left storm
If you lack ice or straight strikers red is just a free 2 year safety of not needing to worry about ice weak stages + solid all around striker
calm marsh
Like i solo with him and dont even use Sync
dark osprey
Can even bring in another sun setter and still leaf does well

Almost all time we just Spam Leer
dark osprey
The sync damage is great

Sure but like
I feel like she suffers the Anni N syndrome
Plus idk, her kit is just boring to me
dark osprey
How like Anni N? He needs a lot of setup right?
For a cs offtype, the sync damage really helps and at 1/5 ex leaf still does a lot
old orchid
yeah her damage is solid, she has -2 rebuffs and sun
left storm
Potion is bland, her TM is ofc great but isn't as funny to synergize with as the gbirbs entries, her buddy damage isn't extraordinary and her nuke is not a 1% worthy upgrade over some other fire nukes
dark osprey
Potion yeah true
old orchid
she is mainly used as a Fire type enabler
left storm
Like, silver nuke is free
old orchid
i would rather using her to enable SS May or Silver
left storm
I don't scout a 1% just to support another unit with better rates
Unless they're a straight support
Like kriss or calem
dark osprey
Ah yes. For stacked rosters that would be the case. But she's bringing sun debuffs and the rebuff along with the great damage
left storm
Yeah I mean
If you lack a busted special support, blue is a easy choice
If you lack a braindead striker and/or ice type that doesn't need Handholding like ghetsis (or you hate ghetsis) red is a good choice
If you lack units to pair with your fire types, leaf is great
At 1/5
In general tho, a newbie should consider blue over the other two imo
Then red, then leaf
For 1/5
dark osprey
True that. Blue does seem like they could help in most CS battles if used right
junior crown
Well, every supp is usually more versatile than techs/strikers, Leaf is a mix of lot's of things, so she can be used even if not in a fire weak stage, but for Red he will work as a offtype outside Ice weak...
