[mellow linden]

If you have a 3/5 BP Morty he’d also be a slightly better tank than MistyDuck, but as long as you’re willing to reset at the start for at least 1 Trainer Move MP Refresh then MistyDuck will work fine

[rain turret]

BP morty is mismagius,right?

[mellow linden]

Yes

[rain turret]

oh cool,I have him 3/5

[mellow linden]

Is there a specific purpose to Nemona on the Maxie team?

She doesn’t do much for Maxie or Courtney

[north crown]

bro what is that

[rain turret]

faster sync,and she gives endure

[mellow linden]

To 1 person and she offers almost no true support for Maxie

Maxie will be wasting valuable Sun time buffing himself without a proper Support

[rain turret]

how about nita?

[north crown]

acutally goated support

[mellow linden]

If you have a 3/5+ Sonia she’d be better, but Nita can work if need be

[north crown]

a lot of physical DPS units need extra atk+spe, some having speed related damage buffs

[rain turret]

my sonia is 1/5,she's a hard one to show up on the tickets lol

[mellow linden]

On the Silver team, you’d be better off replacing Kiawe with an on-demand Sun setter like Blaine so that Silver can actually have Sun up when he uses his Sync Move. A ton of Silver’s damage comes from his Sync Move

[north crown]

what the what is VKiawe doing there?

[mellow linden]

Skyla would also be a better Support than Tina since Silver can handle his own offensive buffs if need be, but has no way to reliably buff his Speed for Inertia

[north crown]

ik he's an ontyp pair but like

there's no synergy

well almost none

[mellow linden]

On the Victor team, you’d likely want to replace Sycamore with a different Sp. Atk. buffer (ideally Sp. Atk. + crit) and replace Phoebe with another Ghost damage-dealer (Shadow Ball Giovanni can work if need be)

[rain turret]

btw how does janine poisons the opponents?I know oleana does through her max move

[mellow linden]

You don’t need to, Lucy handles the Poison

[rain turret]

worst part is Idk if I have enough sync orbs to build everyone

[north crown]

... but since you got Oleana handing everything poison stall needs, the poison satge should be a freebie

since u can have 2 tanks

[rotund lagoon]

Most Poison units have Poison as a secondary effect to regular moves. Some exceptions ofc

[rain turret]

this might be a stupid question,but I do have to build everyone's sync grid,right?

[north crown]

actaully no

most 1/5 grids are useless

[mellow linden]

If you’re still somewhat new and lacking in resources then there’s no shame in dropping the point value down a bit. The rewards past ~4200 (which can be done with little to no difficulty increase over Hard Mode) are much less valuable, and even if you take it more slowly you’ll eventually find yourself with a ton of Champion Spirits and powerup tickets.

Heck, if you’re new to Master Mode in general I would recommend starting with 1500 points per stage (7500 points total) or lower

[rain turret]

I got to 11.9k in a previous attempt this week

[mellow linden]

That way you get used to the mode and its restrictions while you slowly build up your roster in preparation for more points

[rotund lagoon]

You can focus on ones that are 3/5+ (with the exception of ones that like 2/5)
1/5 grids you can leave alone.

Legendary Adventures pairs are top priority if you haven’t done any of them.

[mellow linden]

That’s a solid amount, if you want to go further I’d recommend trying 12.5k as the maximum for now since the reward difference between 12.5k and 15k is minimal

[rain turret]

all done,only waiting for the EX events

[rain turret]

ok,thanks

what I used to get 11.9k

[north crown]

I see so many optimization problems it pains me

[rich needle]

15k is like

I just find it hassle because I have to optimize conditions

Ugh

Can’t brain dead clear

What is this content

[rain turret]

the ground team might be the only optimal one lol

the fire team just a little bit,since SS hilda deals dmg with searing shot while kiawe reduces everyone's sp def,I just shoved tina cuz she debuffs atk with charm and her sync gives 2 buffs

[north crown]

sun:

[nova imp]

I’m struggling because it’s so hard to quad queue

Do you guys have a tip?

I always click fast

Like spamming

And the opponent manages to select before me

[pseudo hawk]

theres no tip for that, i know what you mean, its just really hard to pull it off before the opponent

[nova imp]

is there maybe an auto clicker? lmao

For ios

[pseudo hawk]

ive managed it like twice before and ive been playing this game for a while

oh i mean ig idk

you just kinda have to deal with and/or find a different strat

i dealt with that issue when i fought blue this week so i just changed up my approach

its just something you have to work around

[nova imp]

Eh it only works for me if I auto click

I spent a long ass time finding this team and this strat

[pseudo hawk]

i mean go ahead

[nova imp]

Going through multiple changes so idk

[pseudo hawk]

i just find solice in playing the game my way and not the game playing for me

[nova imp]

I can’t do it

I’ve tried over 100 times

6 hours playtime today and I only focused on that

I need help

I hate rng

And I hate quad queue not working sometimes

[sharp willow]

some pairs simply are incapable of doing it

[junior solstice]

true

[nova imp]

I can’t do it

I need help

Really

What can I do?

[sharp willow]

what pair are you trying to quad queue with?

[nova imp]

Giovanni

You know I’ll probably just send a big ass text showing my strategy

And you tell me how I can better it

[junior solstice]

2.5k?

[nova imp]

2.6

I want 13k for 50 champion spirit

[junior solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fly-flying-zoom-discord-gif-21768121

i cant even do 2.5k kanto cs with that team

quad queueing

[toxic cobalt]

I literally answered this like 12 hours ago

Switch Lucian for Elio

Job done

[rotund lagoon]

We also said Proton prevents quadqueuing

[junior solstice]

why does he do that again

[cinder summit]

Proton’s Plan

Charges the user's move gauge by 1 when its move is successful. Charges the user's move gauge by 1 when it is hit by an attack move.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Proton & Golbat

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

[junior solstice]

[rotund lagoon]

The gauge charge when hit, mainly

[nova imp]

So there are 3 pairs:
Dps (Giovanni) with shadow ball, is grided with that
Support (Proton) with crit and sp atk buff as well as flinch
Tech (Lucian) debuffs everyone’s sp def and attack and with growl

My game starts doing 2 simple things:
-I put Lucian growl, proton tm and Giovanni tm (this order is important as any other pair at the end will trigger an effect after using a move, making it impossible to quad queue)
-I check if the enemy is either using shadow ball or dazzling gleam (does too much damage that will make me die some turns after) or X Speed (makes it unable to use it the turn before I sync, which is important as I cannot take damage before I sync as that would trigger proton’s ability, causing quad queue to be impossible)

Between the start and my first sync, I’ll use shadow ball after 1 tm from Giovanni and air slash from proton after he used 2 tms

After these steps are done, I arrive to quad queue, in which I have to get lucky to not be able to trigger an ability as well as being lucky to being able to quad queue

If I successfully managed to quad queue, I need to hope that proton won’t die some turns after, and then I have to quad queue yet again after my 2nd sync

If all of these steps are completed, I win
Best I arrived was being able to sync twice but not quad queue twice, which in turn made me lost

Alright I’ll try out your strategy

[nova imp]

I’ll try that out

I just wanna hear your opinions on my current strategy and why it fails

[toxic cobalt]

Sounds like you aren’t able to quadqueue twice

[junior solstice]

isnt 1/5 proton on the more frail side

[nova imp]

Only issue with Elio is that he doesn’t debuff

[toxic cobalt]

Proton quadqueue sounds like hell

Debuff deschmuff free 100 points

[nova imp]

That’s the issue, quad queuing twice is soooo hard

I’ve done this about 100 times

6 hours today

So yeah

[nova imp]

And I don’t think he lowers the enemy’s attack

So I’m more likely to die from the ice punches of dusk noir, that is super effective on proton

That’s also a problem, sometimes that freezes proton and it’s a void run

[toxic cobalt]

Why are you using Proton

[junior solstice]

how have you been doing this for 6 hours 💀

even i wouldnt spend more than 1-2 hrs on a ebe

[nova imp]

Determination?

[junior solstice]

You underestimate his tm and sing turn denial

[rotund lagoon]

Proton doesn’t even max Sp Atk at 1/5, please think over your teambuilding.

[junior solstice]

along with sparkling aria mind games

[nova imp]

Hm I’ll try

[junior solstice]

proton is kinda 🤮

[nova imp]

I hate him

[junior solstice]

i have him at 1/5 myself and i dont really use him often due to his buffing capabilities taking multiple turns to complete

[rotund lagoon]

Please show your Supports.

[nova imp]

I’ll try Elio but sure

[junior solstice]

elio at 1/5 is rough

[nova imp]

yeah…

[junior solstice]

can you get troublemaker on elio?

if not then probably forget it

[nova imp]

Is that a sync tile?

[junior solstice]

lucky skill

[rotund lagoon]

Lillie, Sycamore, Sabrina, Roxanne, all good choices.

[nova imp]

Sycamore isn’t

I have standard damage

Reduction

[rotund lagoon]

?

You know what Sycamore is meant for, right?

[nova imp]

He can’t heal

With horn leech

[sharp willow]

he still will do ok, standard reduction will cut his sustainability a bit but he'll do alright

[rotund lagoon]

If you think that is all Sycamore is for, look again.

[nova imp]

There is another good grid combination?

[rotund lagoon]

Have you read his kit?

You need to look at the basics.

[toxic cobalt]

Roxanne exist who care about sycamore

[steel kelp]

What is this reading you speak of

[rotund lagoon]

I plotted Roxanne and Sycamore on the same list, don’t look at me

[nova imp]

You want me to use this???

Seems like rng hell

[toxic cobalt]

She wants you to sync with sycamore

[nova imp]

But he’s not exed

Yet

[toxic cobalt]

So?

[rotund lagoon]

?

[nova imp]

He will be next week

[rotund lagoon]

Did you not read his kit?

[nova imp]

You mean like adrenaline 1?

That’s what we’re going for?

[toxic cobalt]

No

[nova imp]

I was reading it right now

The sync tiles

[nova imp]

Wait so with 5/5 it raises 6 stat ranks???

[sharp willow]

yes

[nova imp]

I didn’t know that

Damn

Ok

[rotund lagoon]

The kit comprises of moves, move effects, passives.

[nova imp]

I’ll get that and adrenaline

And it should work

[rotund lagoon]

Please read the basics, we do not need to drag this on.

[nova imp]

alright alright

It’s not obvious for me

I tried out a lot of stuff

[toxic cobalt]

Learn the ways of the Sycamore

[nova imp]

A lot was suggested

Thanks

[toxic cobalt]

Be the Sycamore

[nova imp]

just go easy on me pls

[nova imp]

alright I’ll try

Hey this could work

I’m faithful

[junior solstice]

the ways of the sycamore is to insta die to any physical move that 2.5k throws at you

[toxic cobalt]

That’s okay it’s ghost Agatha

Who amongst us hasn’t run stoic 2 Sycamore anyway

[nova imp]

it kinda works?

[junior solstice]

me.

[nova imp]

What’s annoying is that Giovanni doesn’t do a lot of damage before sync

So I kind of negate a lot of damage and I can’t kill before sync

I can sync 2 times and all but still

[toxic cobalt]

Your Giovanni is ghost gridded?

[nova imp]

Yeah

He has critical strike 2 as well

[toxic cobalt]

Don’t see why he wouldn’t do damage

[nova imp]

Want me to send a video maybe?

[toxic cobalt]

Sure

[junior solstice]

me struggling with nc leaf against agatha

[rotund lagoon]

You sure Special Damage Reduction 8 isn’t on?

[junior solstice]

[toxic cobalt]

Run along now

[junior solstice]

nvm

I only struggle cause agatha queues two syncs before i get to do anything

kanto cs being way harder than unova cs says a lot

[nova imp]

I don’t think even if I had managed to quad queue I would’ve killed

I mean I actually did manage to do it the first time and it didn’t so

I don’t think even if I had managed to quad queue it would’ve worked

It’s the damage in the start that kinda sucks

I wonder if that can be fixed by adding something to Lucian? Idk

[toxic cobalt]

…why are you stopping at +2 crit?

[nova imp]

uh that’s right

[junior solstice]

I JUST REALIZED THEY USED NOWHERE TO HIDE ONCE

[nova imp]

I forgot proton isn’t here for that extra crit

[junior solstice]

why are you syncing with mewtwo

[nova imp]

Before 1 tm of gio + 2 tm of proton was enough for max

You’re right

[junior solstice]

😭

[nova imp]

2nd time

First time with sycamore

[junior solstice]

sync with lucian

[nova imp]

Why?

[junior solstice]

for the extra sync buff

[wide adder]

Standard damage reduction will make it do nothing anyways

[nova imp]

??

[wide adder]

[nova imp]

I don’t get it

[junior solstice]

50% more dmg and standard damage reduction makes it dog crap

sync buff gives you 50% more damage if you synced with somebody else

[nova imp]

Yeah but Lucian is the same as Giovanni then?

What?

[junior solstice]

NO

To put it simply

sync with anybody but gio

[wide adder]

You’re taking away a shadow ball by syncing with gio unless you quad it

[junior solstice]

to try and fish the kill for gengar

[wide adder]

[junior solstice]

then you should be fine

[nova imp]

Right

I can do that

I’ll try

[junior solstice]

wait i couldve done 2.5k cs with gio

what am i doing 💀

oops sorry no ping

@nova imp if you manage to beat it, can i get settings for cs? i kinda need to reattempt agatha since my settings probably made it too hard to beat her and i didnt do 12.5k

[wide adder]

Wouldn’t you have event victor

[nova imp]

no fucking way that worked

6 hours

Damn

6 hours that could’ve been prevented

[junior solstice]

uh

we don't talk about that

[nova imp]

I should’ve asked for help sooner

[junior solstice]

one simple mistake can cost you hours

[nova imp]

Sure

[junior solstice]

replying is a habit myb

[wide adder]

There’s a no ping button on replying for a reason

[junior solstice]

anyway i do have ghost victor but hes kinda

[nova imp]

Spectrier Ubers meta

[junior solstice]

2.6k with minimum investment? jesus i think i had the wrong settings

[wide adder]

Literally just do ghost victor and a ghost dmg and a special support and it’s free clear on 3k even on halfsync

[nova imp]

My time:

[wide adder]

[junior solstice]

actually?

I tried gio and ghost victor and man did nothing

[wide adder]

Sync and max move go brrrrr

As long as you max their stats ofc

Which is why special support

[nova imp]

this is my team against Lorelei? Do I stand a chance?

I died before

[junior solstice]

definitely not

[nova imp]

k

[junior solstice]

The crit shield and blizzard damage is simply too much imo

[nova imp]

This team was recommend by y’all that’s why I was asking

[junior solstice]

and no buffer for bea

[nova imp]

Do I send my roster?

I need some help team building for this one

[junior solstice]

sure though i cant guarantee you that it would work

ive tried bea and shes horrendous without ex

[wide adder]

Lorelei is painful cause she stacks evasion on hit

[nova imp]

.

[wide adder]

I literally used Darach to get rid of evasion and crit shield

[nova imp]

I learned a lot about team building here so I think I have an ideia?

[junior solstice]

is there any possible way you can try off typing?

[nova imp]

I mean I have like ss Hilda ss red and ss morty but I was saving them for blue

[junior solstice]

or any haze units?

[nova imp]

I have brycen

[junior solstice]

brycen is probably not going to cut it

send roster and lets see if we can try to help

[nova imp]

here

Maybe I can copy auroch? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1011675077764456519/1173982805034815569/IMG_6282.png?ex=6565efb0&is=65537ab0&hm=bd45b702c96657f2a9740a55c786578ea4db849b019d8449fc106c61d9ba533c&

he wouldn’t know

Let me check his investment

[junior solstice]

is that ss serena?

[nova imp]

She’s taken

I used her as a ground type against Bruno

Breezed

[junior solstice]

poison stall would probably be your best bet

[nova imp]

Yeah I’ll try it out

[junior solstice]

unless bea somehow pulls through

[nova imp]

Actually scrap that

My lucy is 1/5

I can’t grid it properly

And she’s a banner unit so I’m not candying that

[junior solstice]

do you have lucky cookies?

[tired sleet]

She doesn’t really need a grid that badly

[nova imp]

hm

[junior solstice]

you can probably try turn denying lorelei somehow and pray for meteor assault hits

[nova imp]

Not many, spent a lot

Should’ve grinded more legendary gauntlet

Got lazy

[junior solstice]

or you could do sure hits

maylene is pretty good

but you need a good gauge support since meteor assault is a gauge drain

bp clemont or maylene works but figure out a buffer and a unit that makes gauge management better

[nova imp]

A

I’ll try some things out

[junior solstice]

your attempt for 2.6k seems like a hell hole 💀

[nova imp]

Yeah…

I really wanna get champion spirit though

So I can ex blue

And next week proton

Then I’ll get sycamore from events

And the next attempts should be a breeze

[nova imp]

You know I’ll listen to you and try it out

[grand trout]

Oh hi turismo

How's it going

[zealous karma]

They cleared how they saw fit if they don’t want to push they don’t have to it’s. Not like the rewards after 4.9K are that worth noting

[versed meteor]

Do yall think hoenn is next?

[silver dirge]

I believe Lost was predicting Sinnoh

[main crow]

Either end result would be 'fun'

[old orchid]

Next one should be Alola to complete a cycle, unless they come up with a new region

[main crow]

Paldea CS early debut

[dawn gull]

is a focus blast build solgaleo good for this weeks cs against lorelei

he does good dmg , but lorelei's crit defense messes everything up

[old orchid]

Solgaleo is very good against Lorelei, but yeah Crit Shield is a problem

You can bring a Defog user to clear shields away

[dawn gull]

is darach a good option ?

[old orchid]

He is

Yes

[dawn gull]

rn i use kiawe (1/5) , solagaleo ( focus blast build) , ss blue (1/5)

[old orchid]

That team cant stall until Crit Shield fades

Do you have other crit buffers who help with gauge too?

[dawn gull]

i cant tank 2nd sync

[old orchid]

So you can slot in Darach

[dawn gull]

replace who ?

i still need kiawe , and blue to get +3 crit

[old orchid]

Can you send your support roster

[keen jasper]

Unless you're like and just wittle down Lorelei with 2 Focus Blast DPSers

[toxic cobalt]

Uh Solgeleo can buff his own crit

[keen jasper]

Incomplete

[toxic cobalt]

1. No, but also 2) even so, you don't need Kiawe and SS Blue

[dawn gull]

maybye i have to sacrifice few focus blast powerups to get those

should i get both or only 1 ?

[toxic cobalt]

You should only get sharp entry but I'm not sure what you'd have to give up

What is the current grid?

[old orchid]

Oh yeah i forgot Solgaleo has Sharp Entry for some reasons

[toxic cobalt]

Get rid of everything on the bottom right

[dawn gull]

even spd 2

[toxic cobalt]

yes

far too expensive to reach

[nova imp]

This is as far as I’ve gotten poison stalling, any way to extend my hp?

[dawn gull]

like this ?

[toxic cobalt]

Can you send a screenshot of your supports

[nova imp]

Sure

[toxic cobalt]

But with even less on the bottom right

But it shoudl work yes

[dawn gull]

not even mgr ?

[nova imp]

Here ya go

[toxic cobalt]

It's mgr2 it's not even going to work most of the time

[dawn gull]

alright

and wht should i pick up ?

[toxic cobalt]

Try BP morty instead of Misty, or Liza if she is gridded

[toxic cobalt]

Bottom left focus blast tiles

[nova imp]

I don’t have grid in morty

[toxic cobalt]

1/5 Misty is rough

[nova imp]

She’s not 1/5

I candied and now she’s 4* and grided

3/5 too

[toxic cobalt]

Hmm are you getting mpr for her heal?

It can get a bit rng

[nova imp]

I copied your grid

[toxic cobalt]

Yes but are you getting lucky

[nova imp]

Idk

[toxic cobalt]

This is like 4 turns away from winning

[nova imp]

Oh

Ok I’ll try yet again

[toxic cobalt]

Remember that wrap wears off, so you have to reapply it

Reset if you don't get +6spdef

[nova imp]

Got it

[dawn gull]

after this , should i drop kiawe ? for swimsuit misty ?

[toxic cobalt]

The whole point is to get Darach!

[dawn gull]

oh fish

my bad

alright ill sub in darach

ouch now i am in trouble for survivability

@toxic cobalt should i clear the sides in the beginning and then after my 1st sync should i start attacking the center ??

[toxic cobalt]

You should almost never clear the sides at the beginning

[dawn gull]

i tried at end

but i coudnt make it before 2nd sync

plus tht look alive 9 is annoying asf

[toxic cobalt]

The expectation is that Solgaleo's +6 acc handles most of that

[dawn gull]

yeah , but he stil miss

[toxic cobalt]

[dawn gull]

for some goddamn reason

[toxic cobalt]

Are you making sure to hit the sides with your tanks to ensure the evasiveness doens't increase too fast?

[dawn gull]

yup

i did tht

[toxic cobalt]

How far are you from finishing mid?

[dawn gull]

okay i barely made it with 1 hp

thx a lot @toxic cobalt

[toxic cobalt]

If it worked it worked

[dawn gull]

absolutely

a win is a win

[nova imp]

Well

I managed to poison stall Lorelei

And only blue remained

Can’t say I struggled

Went kinda overkill

13k baby

[silver dirge]

[olive aspen]

[fluid vessel]

This is for a unfriendly redditor

[junior solstice]

reminds me

ive yet to make a poison stall team

I should 😭

[north crown]

anyone struggling so far?

[fluid vessel]

Me: requires a 30% miss
The game: gives you a 0.4% natural crit freeze

[tulip python]

Lapras is walking me hard

Why is she so Tanky

[toxic cobalt]

Because she makes you

[tulip python]

And that evasion buff is nonsense

Even my OP cheese electric team

Doesn’t do enough to murder

[toxic cobalt]

Have you tried not missing?

[tulip python]

Yes

Wally is terrible even with his accuracy buff

[toxic cobalt]

so true

Anyone who does nuke damage not dps?

[tulip python]

Closest I got was

Bea, Aura Cynth, and Urshifu

[old orchid]

friendly reminder that stalling is always an option

[tulip python]

I am@about to do this tomorrow haha

Wait a min

Doesn’t Deoxys has

Have* downside up

Which would negate this evasive nonsense

[toxic cobalt]

That is not how that works

[silver dirge]

[toxic cobalt]

You can either 1) stall 2) use nukes instead of dps 3) get lucky

[silver dirge]

They're not debuffing your accuracy, they're buffing their own evasion

[tulip python]

Right, but doesn’t deoxys naturally debuff himself

[silver dirge]

You could also try and bring an accuracy buffer

[tulip python]

Yeah…. lodge Elsa doesn’t quite help

[silver dirge]

Do you mean the 5 stats at start down and then downside up for +3 accuracy?

[toxic cobalt]

Focus blast Solgaleo still misses

[tulip python]

Does that work?

[silver dirge]

Base 70 accuracy will do that to ya

[toxic cobalt]

Wait does 5 stats down work like that for SS Steven???

[silver dirge]

Yeah it buffs him instead

That would work indeed

[toxic cobalt]

New Garednia meta

[tulip python]

Well then

[silver dirge]

Will too, give them 5 stats and copy it

[toxic cobalt]

SUPPORTS ARE NOW REDUNDANT

[paper summit]

but then the enemy keeps the buffs, that's a horrible idea

[silver dirge]

[toxic cobalt]

Enemy buff is a separate param

[silver dirge]

Will + Haze

[paper summit]

no, I mean the Will route

[toxic cobalt]

ah the Will route. But we do it for Will

[silver dirge]

I should try Fall Roxanne and Will, steal copy their stats and then turn them into debuffs

[paper summit]

ngl I keep forgetting to use that debuff parameter with SS Hilda

[silver dirge]

Same

[paper summit]

granted she doesn't need it with her instant setup TM

[silver dirge]

True

[paper summit]

neither does Steven

[silver dirge]

It helps both of them if 3/5

Rising Tide stonks

Oh wait is Steven's an innate?

[paper summit]

I guess, but Hilda maxes it out with only one V-Create use, Steven is the one that'd benefit a bit

[paper summit]

yes, all forms have Downside Up

[silver dirge]

Ahh right

[silver dirge]

Yeah this is true

[tulip python]

Omg that stupid thing works

I got super close

Steven is just a very big glass cannon

But I almost got Lapras

Just. Need extra Tanky

And to mess with these parameters a bit

[nocturne pawn]

the -5 stats down doesnt lower accuracy anyway

[silver dirge]

Oh true

Speed, Attack, Sp Attack, Defense, SpDef?

[onyx ice]

Yes only the main stats

No evasion/accuracy

[silver dirge]

[cold lake]

who is good to tank for that strat?

[old orchid]

Depends on the tank. Typically you want to use Impervious or Unbending + Stalwart tanks

[peak stirrup]

Still struggling vs Agatha. Using SSR Cynthia/NC Calem/Irida

[old orchid]

Replace Irida with a Ghost zone abuser

You might have to change CCalem depending on the dmg dealer

[peak stirrup]

Such as?

[old orchid]

Rule of thumbs: dont build teams around theme skills and master passives

No need to ping me

Accessible ones are Giovanni, Shauntal and Fantina

[peak stirrup]

It’s not built around that. Irida’s B move gives -4 Sp Def to boost sync move

[old orchid]

I assume Giratina is 3/5?

[peak stirrup]

Yes and EX

[old orchid]

Zone setters are meant to be paired with another dmg dealer

I would save Irida for another team

Giratina sync hits hard without maxed Smarty Pants anyway

[peak stirrup]

But her sync is physical. Another dmg dealer would do next to nothing because they are special

[old orchid]

Giratina Shadow Ball is special you can turn off both physical and special dmg reduction

[peak stirrup]

Is barely enough to beat the mid but sides take me down immediately

[old orchid]

What params are you using

And your team too

[peak stirrup]

Old pre sync parameters with strength +1 and Hp +8 for 3k
Tried both NC Calem and then SS Elesa with Gio and SSR

[silver dirge]

You're stacking a lot of HP & Strength there, do you have both power on hits, all Atk ⬆️ picked up?

[grand trout]

Hp +8 will give you a tough time

That was my first pick when trying out 3k too

[toxic cobalt]

Just Giratina as support would clear easy, run like Shauntal

[grand trout]

Shauntal supremacy

[silver dirge]

I tried SSR Cynthia + Lucian + Sonia, she doesn't even need max setup to one-shot mid. A single shadow force takes out either side. Don't pickup that much HP unless you've planned for it accordingly, you should be going hyper offensive (all attack, POH) and then make the rest up with strength (after you've taken all the other viable params)

[rose ermine]

I got farty to work on 3k

[silver dirge]

Dedication

[main crow]

Great work soldier

What was the team tho I'm curious

[silver dirge]

Me too

I was almost inspired by this to try out Summer Lyra today, but then remembered sleep multipliers immediate no

[main crow]

Just use Delphox

[silver dirge]

I have SS Cyrus

It's just such a weird multiplier to work with

Also this, what was my girl cooking

[main crow]

Blud don't even have rest and have to rely on enemy to have sleep

What was she cooking

[silver dirge]

Me when I have to wait for the enemy to hypnosis, which is like only some Shauntal stages iirc?

And there is no fairy weak shauntal

[main crow]

And you have to risk putting Lyra as the first target too

None have a go viral sleep

[silver dirge]

Ah of course

Amazing

[main crow]

Game design is my passion

[silver dirge]

We love a well thought-through kit

[grand trout]

Just be shauntal and inflict status on yourself

Smh

[silver dirge]

She's like NY Lisia in that she synergises with none of the fairy zone/rebuff units, but 10x worse

[grand trout]

Wait, why none?

Oh

[silver dirge]

Just synergy you can make it work

but it's not ideal

[rose ermine]

Farty nccalem palmarnie

[grand trout]

At least she has... jigglypunk...right?

[silver dirge]

[rose ermine]

Nccalem is fucking op here

Morty just needs to evade like 2-3 times

And he wins

[grand trout]

Is this agatha stage

[rose ermine]

Ye

[grand trout]

I mean when is he not

...anabel battle

[rose ermine]

I am not trying that

I tried it once

I'm 100% sure she had 1 million hp

[grand trout]

Is there a stage that mirrors status

Like wallace tm

[silver dirge]

I'm not sure actually

I don't recall one

[main crow]

Unless you have a water leopard of course

[silver dirge]

Leopard

[grand trout]

Jesus Christ, you're better off running x atk/x sp atk

[main crow]

KriSS

[silver dirge]

Oh right

[silver dirge]

indeed

Maybe I should just try Dazzling Gleam DPS isntead and pair with penny

[main crow]

Stack her with SMUN

[silver dirge]

[grand trout]

Hi turismo

Did you finish smun yet

[nova imp]

smun?

I wad doing csmm

[silver dirge]

Special Move up Next

Oh wait

[silver dirge]

[nova imp]

just came by to recommend poison stall on lorelei

not that hard and pretty cheap

I finished yesterday mine

13k

[main crow]

Stall is a ol' reliable

[silver dirge]

yea can't really go wrong with stall

[nova imp]

I used misty janine and lucy

[main crow]

That's what I did when I first face Wallace poison

[hushed lintel]

i just killed her with rei

[silver dirge]

Well yea but not everyone has Rei

[main crow]

I have Oleana now so whenever Hoeen rotates back time for some sweet revenge

[nova imp]

kanto is pretty easy

[silver dirge]

I'm waiting for steel weak glacia with my shiny new mix-sponsored Jirachi

[nova imp]

you know what would be fun

galar league

master fair champion leon

as the boss

[main crow]

Oh shit you got a Tate from mix

That's awesome

[silver dirge]

yeaa

Will be interesting to see what the response will be to the harder regions @ 3K points

I expect some turmoil

[main crow]

Mix is super tempting but I'm saving at least 15k for whenever Drayden or Kabu drops as spotlight

Super IF

Kabu has a chance to be pokefair

[silver dirge]

[silver dirge]

A new CS would be pretty cool indeed

[main crow]

That would mean DeNA Have to acknowledge the other galar gym leaders

[silver dirge]

[main crow]

Aka release Milo Kabu and Opal

Oh and Peony

He was part of the Galar tourney lineup in the game

[silver dirge]

yea

speaking of, I wish the special stadiums were a little more common lol

those are fun

[main crow]

Fairy special stadium

[silver dirge]

[main crow]

Time for Sycamore dps propaganda

Wait there's fairy this weak time to cook

[silver dirge]

[onyx ice]

Still better than fairy high score

At least you can offtype, and your tank doesn't needs to be fairy

However there are some good fairy tank options

[grand trout]

Good taste

[onyx ice]

Mix would have been interesting if it offered a free gems option too

Even if it was a single 300 regular gems pull a day

[grand trout]

Hmmm psychic next week

[silver dirge]

Let's be careful not to get bonked for off-topic in the CS chat

[grand trout]

I wonder which one can be used

I think I'll try Bianca

[main crow]

I am now advocating Lucian nuke

[grand trout]

Good choice, but dps

[silver dirge]

Oh finally there's Dark weak, I'm going for NC Calem nuke

[main crow]

Bianca and Lucian

they're both so stupid on the same team

[grand trout]

What if i use nanu next week

[main crow]

bianca dps and lucian nuke

[silver dirge]

Definitely a good combo. That stored power goes hard

[main crow]

[grand trout]

Nanu has a good nuke... right?

Actually nvm

[main crow]

also lance stop giving me evasion x all

[grand trout]

I hate using silver units on mm

[onyx ice]

"Nuke"

[grand trout]

It... doesn't look good

[main crow]

Nanu is pretty nice imo

[silver dirge]

Flinch multipliers

[grand trout]

Yes but 4*

[silver dirge]

[main crow]

hmm now i want to use Nanu next week

[silver dirge]

Relentless is easy to setup, Double Down 5 & Critastrophe are free, I guess if you bring a reliable flincher it's not too bad

[grand trout]

How about bp karen

Wait, if i get umbreon from the ticket (unlikely) I'll use her

[silver dirge]

She doesn't have much of a nuke at all

[grand trout]

When do we get the ticket btw

[silver dirge]

And her DPS is well Double Edge

[grand trout]

Wdym, she has good dps

[onyx ice]

203 attack at 6ex + ex role, and absolutely no multiplier, definitely can't be classified as a nuke

[grand trout]

And by dps she damages herself a lot

Per second

[silver dirge]

Nuke

[grand trout]

[silver dirge]

LOL

[silver dirge]

Who is this for? NC Calem?

[onyx ice]

NC calem

[silver dirge]

Well of course I'm still going to try it though

[grand trout]

Anyone?

Is it tomorrow?

[silver dirge]

Nah it's not for a while

[grand trout]

Booooo

[silver dirge]

4-5ish days I think

[grand trout]

That's too farr

[onyx ice]

I guess BP Karen is fine if you don't plan to take all the opponents out with just her DPS and don't buff the HP too much

[grand trout]

I just realized my dark roster is kinda undiverse

WAIT WHAT IF

Grimsley gaming

[silver dirge]

[onyx ice]

If you go Double DPS, or even just Karen DPS + sync nuker she should be fine

[grand trout]

I have good units for dark

It's just

[main crow]

I see ex piers

[mellow linden]

Can do Masked Royal + Nessa + Support

[grand trout]

They're always the same formula

[main crow]

night slash gaming

[onyx ice]

And dark isn't lacking accessible dark nukers

[grand trout]

I just want something out of the box

[silver dirge]

You could do Grimsley if you really want to then

it's easy to setup

Just gotta Snatch before you nuke, and 2 TMs of his max out Blind Spot

[grand trout]

Btw i just remembered i did grimsley last unova

[onyx ice]

Sidney is a great general pool dark nuker

[grand trout]

#1011170238617899030 message

[onyx ice]

Grimsley nuke is okayish but his DPS is horrible

[grand trout]

Dark pulse flinch gaming

If all else fails I'll just resort to furbert or Sidney i guess

[onyx ice]

Yes if you want to roll for the flinches is ok, but his DPS is quite atrocious

[main crow]

@ Arch furbert mention

[onyx ice]

Night slash is pretty bad, and dark pulse would work if they didn't have him support eggmon special attack stat

And not that his attack stat is any good

[grand trout]

Sidney doesn't need to compete for first sync like blue does, does he?

[main crow]

Sidney has mega

[onyx ice]

Sidney doesn't need to mega

[sharp willow]

he likes to mega, but it's not necessary for passive changes or anything iirc

[grand trout]

Karen also needs to mega

[onyx ice]

For some reasons 1st sync is crit strike 3 and not crit strike 5 from mega

[onyx ice]

For Karen is kinda mandatory

[main crow]

She wants her dark pulse dps

[grand trout]

Is it just me or CS thread is moved upwards

[onyx ice]

I guess you can still support ex, spam snarl and nuke with her second sync

[grand trout]

Yeahhh karen used to be one of my go-to darks so im averse to using her

I guess I'll go the Sidney route

[fluid vessel]

By far the worst Ball Guy experience

[light dune]

Could I get tips for (potentially) max score Lorelei? I only have f2p fighting pairs like bea, wally, and MC Solgaleo

[old orchid]

Can you show your entire roster please? Preferably post your sync pair tracker image or you can take screenshot of your roster in move level tab ingame

[old orchid]

Poison stalling is also a good and brainless strat

[light dune]

So far I've used NC Blue, Aaron, Phoebe, SS Blue, and NC Calem on other teams, and I'm planning on using SS May and NC Leaf for Blue

[old orchid]

Quite a tough one. Solgaleo without power boost needs some heavy support to get through. And your Wally and Bea are not invested well

So poison stalling is the best option

You can read and ask about poison stalling tips in this thread #1097597679015567420

[light dune]

Ok, I haven't tried poison stall before, but I'll give it a try

[tulip python]

I took 3 days of trying

Damn you to hell Lapras

But I got you

I got you

Meanwhile the “champion” was a joke

Lorelei walled me for days. The pain.

If there is ever a unit solely designed to deal with Lapras I am pulling

[keen jasper]

You should do what I did

Use 2 Focus Blast DPS against Lorelei

[swift swan]

Bring a nuker 🥱

[tulip python]

Bea is a nuker

Or is really my only good fighting unit

Usually end up with Urshifu for the op defense down

[swift swan]

Under zone she should be able to kill mid with sync + 1 or 2 meteor assaults

I presynced Lorelei under half sync countdown parameter

[keen jasper]

I don't even have a good fighting nuker

[silver dirge]

Dojo Gloria also has burst damage with that max move

[tulip python]

That’s usually the case when I use her, but RNG always kept having Lapras use physical damage down

[keen jasper]

Can you presync Lorelei with 4k parameters?

[silver dirge]

Sure she can, she's got Rei

And Aura Cynthia I believe

[keen jasper]

Well, they have it easy with limited fighting damage dealers, I don't even have a single limited fighting damage dealer

[silver dirge]

Do you mean reflect? Because crits bypass that anyway

[keen jasper]

She applies Crit Shield before her sync

[silver dirge]

Yea I know about the crit shield they said physical damage down

[keen jasper]

And applies Reflect after her sync

[silver dirge]

Ah if you're post syncing and you've got both Reflect & Crit Shield then ... just presync it

[tulip python]

Probably, some text appears on screen usually and my damage goes to shite

Clearly I must have been doing something wrong if pre sync with 3k parameters was a thing

[silver dirge]

Pre-sync with 3K parameters is the thing

[tulip python]

I will die of laughter if I was my own worst enemy on this one lol

[silver dirge]

You can get away with post-sync on the easier regions, cos they've got low base HP (& non threatening passives)

But you're going to be punished heavily if you stack HP, Strength instead of POH/Offense on Hoenn/Kalos/Sinnoh

[keen jasper]

You only do HP parameters if you're confident your damage dealers can presync the enemies

[onyx ice]

With Lorelei I guess you should go hyper offense and try to clear before CRIT shield

And don't attack the center with your support, you will only increase evasion

[wide adder]

im slightly panicked mentally cause for a moment i forgot Fighting weak will be repeating at the end of the month. really wish a bruno stage had a repeat instead of Lorelei.

at least that time ill have a better clue in advance for what i can do about it ig

[dark osprey]

Hopefully you've tried turn denials on left and right with an ex support sync so that you reach second sync before the crit shield. Can pull through with Solgaleo and Bea/Wally/Bruno (5*)

[calm marsh]

+6 Evasion and i ate 3 Double Edge in a row

[silver dirge]

[north crown]

Does anyone need help? I'm quite literally stuck in my rl setting, so I can do whatever.

[rotund lagoon]

You don’t need to keep asking, someone will come when they come :T

[wide adder]

My team was Bea / Darach / redlax this week.

[dapper forum]

I cant even beat lorelai 2500. Any help?

[silver dirge]

Is this your first time attempting master mode?

[dapper forum]

No

[silver dirge]

You've done all 12.5k points before?

[dapper forum]

Ive done 12.5k once but never did kanto yet

[silver dirge]

Alright that's cool then, Kanto is one of the easiest. Gimmi one sec

[nocturne pawn]

maylene is a free accuracy buffer

well

actually you shouldnt even need it

[dapper forum]

For some reason i have a hard time damaging her

She has evasion and crit negation or something

[silver dirge]

She does yea, ideally you should aim to clear before she sets up crit shield

Replace Hilbert there for Skyla, you don't need 2 physical buffers

And go for the EX sync with her sync 1

Just checking also, Solgaleo isn't powerboosted I'm assuming?

[dapper forum]

Nope

Sadly still new so didnt do that event

[silver dirge]

Okay try Skyla + Hop + Solgaleo and see if that works

Also which parameters are you using?

[dapper forum]

On type pre sync more hp

[silver dirge]

Switch to on type pre sync more damage, Skyla & Hop can handle it

[dapper forum]

Will give it a try and see thx!

[silver dirge]

[toxic cobalt]

If it doesn’t work try Elio to cheese it

[dapper forum]

I beat it took a few tries.

wild to me how i can have one op striker defeat a 3k in like one sync and then i have to do many tries to beat this 2.5k

13.5k points good enough.

[onyx ice]

This Lorelei is probably one of the hardest Kanto stages just because evasion and CRIT shield

[manic mica]

Can someone give tips for Lorelei, I stupidly left her to last ,these are my fighting sync pairs

[old orchid]

you are doing hard mode right?

if yes, can you show us your type medal progress as well?

[manic mica]

Oki wait a sec, I'll get a screenshot

Wait how do I find the type medal

This is all I could find

[old orchid]

there is a progress button on the preview menu of the fight

[old orchid]

thats right

your aim is unlocking many types as possible

if you have some free time, can you fill your sync pair tracker out? we want to know your roster

+tracker

[frozen depot]

Link : https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/
Use this video guide to properly filter your pairs : https://imgur.com/a/2ONrAcl
Fill your pairs > Turn Visibility only for "Have" > Filter by Type then Role > Turn On "Separators" > Print with "Image" button

[manic mica]

Okiii

Did it

(Idk how to make the number in the corner more than 1)

[old orchid]

watch the video above closely

[manic mica]

Did it :3

Btw I have like no sync orbs at all

[swift swan]

<desperately trying to find solgaleo

[manic mica]

I dont have Solgaleo

[swift swan]

you should get it from Legendary Adventures

[manic mica]

Is it good

[swift swan]

he's good for Lorelei as he counters Lorelei's evasion with accuracy buffing

plus he's free, no reason not to get him

[manic mica]

Okiii

[swift swan]

doing R4 Lorelei means you have to tank the sync, so a special defense buffer as the tank would be great

top off Solgaleo's buffs with a crit buffer

[manic mica]

Okiii

[manic mica]

LETS GOOO

[silver dirge]

congrats

[glass thicket]

I finally did it - 15,000 points! Free to play 102 day account, PR 65.

Posting my teams and order here if it helps anyone.

[manic mica]

They might tell you to redirect to stage clears channel lol

Good units though!

[paper summit]

yes, we might

[nova imp]

interesting team for lorelei

[glass thicket]

Sycamore was to boost special defense by 6 with his sync. Otherwise the Lapras one shots Bea on the 2nd sync move. Sonia was just an efficient healer with defense crush.

[nova imp]

you went for post sync options right?

I used a poison stall team

[glass thicket]

What are the "post sync options"?

[mellow linden]

I assume they mean post-Sync parameters

[glass thicket]

Okay what are post-sync parameters? 😅

[mellow linden]

From the parameter examples in the pins. Post-Sync parameters mean you don’t care whether or not the opponent Syncs

[glass thicket]

Oh that's cool, I've never seen that pin before so didn't get the lingo. I've never put a name to my strategies but my usual go to is aim for the long game (6-9 buffs). I always start by stacking max HP and usually gradual healing too, then build from there.

This is what I used for Lorelei:

||Spec Dmg reduction
No status conditions
Interference immunity
Tech takes x3 Dmg
Sync buff +5
Def/SpDef +3
Max HP +2
No Stat Reduction
Ally Healing -5
Spec Dmg reduction 8
Gradual healing at start
No weather / zones
Sync cooldown -2
Ally HP at start -5
Max HP +4
Ally move gauge -2
Max HP +6
Standard damage reduction 8
Max HP +8||

I also just realized I mentioned defense crush with Sonia earlier but forgot I turned off stat reduction during the some of the final attempts. So that part didn't matter.

[mellow linden]

The 50 point Physical Damage Reduction and Special Damage Reduction parameters are totally free, all they do is set Reflect and Light Screen which are ignored by crits

[glass thicket]

I didn't realize crits bypass it, thanks @mellow linden . If I was to do it again I would probably sub-out interference immunity for the phys dmg reduction so that Sonia can make them flinch with tackle. That would have helped for sure.

[tame gust]

Pfft. Okay I know I could’ve handled this fight better but this finish amused me.

[fluid vessel]

Crit Shield should not be allowed to be part of their movepool

[latent eagle]

Round 1 agatha dazzling gleam keeps 1 shotting hex and Giovanni

[old orchid]

you picked Tech and Strike Take x3 damage params

[latent eagle]

Ah, it’s on the basic 2500 points so— this is only my second time doing 3000 points so parameters are still iffy for me lol

[old orchid]

its okay, be careful next time

[silver dirge]

The basic 2.5k parameters are still meant to be adjusted for your team, the "Adjust your parameters!" heading in the 3k guide still applies to the 2.5k presets as well. If you're not making use of a certain thing (field effects for example) in your battle, that parameter (Can't change WTZ) should be selected. In contrast, if you are making use of a weather/terrain/zone, then you obviously should not be picking up that parameter.

[rose ermine]

Which types do i low ex's against,that would definitely suffer in 3k csmm?

[old orchid]

you should show their move level

looking at your EX'd units, i dont think you will struggle in CSMM at all, beside Fairy type

[rose ermine]

Yeah fairy is really where I always struggle

Who would be really good to ex for fairy 3k?

[old orchid]

i would say BP Valerie, she is literally your best Fairy dmg dealer

[rose ermine]

Move levels

Ok

[old orchid]

1/5 SS Mina is a bit awkward, she cant maintain zone long enough till the second sync normally

[rose ermine]

Working on it

She'll be 3/5 in two months,if I use a Omni candy 2 weeks

[old orchid]

if you have some Sprint/Field units or too many options in other roles waiting for candies, i recommend saving the omni

[manic kiln]

don't even need the zone to clear 3k

[rose ermine]

I have 0 field and sprint units

I think my demand for candies in roles is high

Yeah quite a bit of demand

[junior crown]

I don't recommend to candy/ex because of CS

do your faves as you have in the list

[rose ermine]

Yeah I am doing that

Currently top contenders for my Omni is piers/guzma and ssmina

I gave up on irida

[old orchid]

you can always use offtype/stall to beat CS

[rose ermine]

I think I have a few properly invested offtypers

[manic kiln]

ex is fine tho, you'll eventually ex all the units you want
just save the candies for your faves, most of the time 1/5 limited units can clear 2.5k/3k

[latent eagle]

I can just about make it with this team for R1, I can KO mid before sync but then sides take out mewtwo w/ blizzard or icy wind

[old orchid]

Having SS Brendan and Sycamore in the same team is rebundant

[manic kiln]

ditch sycamore, you won't sync with him anyway

[old orchid]

do you have Event Victor or SSR Cynthia?

if you dont have them, use another Ghost type dmg dealer in Sycamore's place

[latent eagle]

If haze is needed from Victor it won’t do anything, I had to put no stat reduction on

[silver dirge]

You're running Giovanni whose got Brainteaser & SS Brendan who sets up that Brainteaser really easily, but have no stat reduction on?

[old orchid]

also you can pick Five Stats Up as a free parameter

[cold lake]

Who's best for the half-sync modifier this week?

Maybe Lance?

[mellow linden]

It depends entirely on your team(s)

[cold lake]

Gardevoir with quick Fini buffing

I really don't like 3k points but at least it makes me justified for using broken pairs

[mellow linden]

If you feel that team can KO fast enough for the early Sync to not be an issue then go ahead

The important thing with half-Sync round is to make sure your team can handle it

[hearty lynx]

3K Lorelei was kind of a challenge

i used Darach

[wicked pebble]

How does this look?

[zealous karma]

Strong

[mellow linden]

Tbh your roster is at a point where you can just give CS a shot 1st and adjust/ask for assistance as needed

Especially for Kanto CS and/or if you’re doing a lower point value

[hidden ore]

Never thought I’d ask again about Champion Stadium, but here we are
Is r4 Lorelei a bad one?
Can’t figure parameters for 3k ontype

With Bea & CHop

Round 4

[nocturne pawn]

that should be free

probably run maylene or 3/5 aaron

cuz she has evasion buff when hit

[hidden ore]

Ooh now I know why this failed (maybe?)
The gear wasn’t fighting but skill

But Lorelei’s sync killed me

[plush tangle]

Just give her less strength and attack

[old orchid]

You should kill her before the sync

[hidden ore]

I’ll try Aaron then

[nocturne pawn]

you’re probably just getting screwed by evasion

[hidden ore]

Its a round 4 💀

[nocturne pawn]

there’s absolutely no way bea and chop should ever see sync

[old orchid]

Yup, sync with Bea to nuke her before crit shield

Basically use the 2.5k pre sync atk up with added strength or a few parameters

[hidden ore]

Do we use zone here?

[nocturne pawn]

yes?

why wouldnt you

[old orchid]

Can try tanking with Hop and pick Support x3 dmg

[hidden ore]

No stat resuction?

[old orchid]

Personally i would pick that param

[hidden ore]

Not sure if good

[old orchid]

Your aim is clearing the stage pre sync, so Sync Buff and a couple of atk up are free parameters

Replace strength params with them

[hidden ore]

Thanks!

Helped so much

[blazing narwhal]

Any lorelei tips

[old orchid]

If you cant clear before crit shield, try poison stalling

[blazing narwhal]

I got it

Crit shield was no problem but bea kept dying on first sync even with ssa Cynthia I just had to change some parameters to get her to survive that

[north crown]

Isn't that just post sync?

[blazing narwhal]

Well I did her on round 4 half sync countdown so technically yea but nah

[north crown]

I used 2/5 Red EX, Wally EX, 1/5 NCHop this week on r3. Wally's nuke + SEUP made that clear really quick.

[blazing narwhal]

Ngl half sync countdown really is an easy win most of the time for me. First enemy sync doesn’t hit as hard and you get to supp ex or nuke much faster

[old orchid]

Do you have 3/5 Bea? If yes check out the team and params above

Problem is crit shield tho

[north crown]

defog:

[blazing narwhal]

Yea I beat it with her. I copied the params from the in game example clears lol

[latent eagle]

So i WAS gonna avoid doing Lance R4…..and then forgot…..so now im stuck doing him R4….i feel like this team might work if i could survive sync…. it’s probably a parameter issue that I can’t see that’s obvious lol

[old orchid]

Replace Lillie with a defense buffer

Since you are going to post sync, dont pick sync buff 5 and too many atk params

Tbh Sycamore doesnt do much there, since you picked Special DR

Better using defense buffer + defense debuffer (preferably who can help with gauge) and focus on BP Valerie

[latent eagle]

Had to switch to my post sync parameter tab but how’s this for parameters?

[manic kiln]

valerie is very frail tho i doubt she can tank the sync even with def buffs and atk debuffs

[old orchid]

Why do you pick 5 stats down tho

[old orchid]

Yeah , if she cant make work you can try offtyping or toxic stalling

[north crown]

or use mina

[latent eagle]

Wasn't sure what else to pick without being overpowered 3000 points is new to me so im still trying to get the hang of it

[manic kiln]

it is new to all of us, you just have to spend more time testing your team with different params

[north crown]

you just need to live long enough for your DPS to do their thing

[old orchid]

You should check out the 3k guide in the pins

[latent eagle]

I've been staring at the pins but im honestly not good at making my own parameters oof, gonna try off typing bc I got close w/ pikas n ch blue

[swift swan]

the best way is simply to practice different params and do rounds of trial and error until you discover what works best for you

the general rule of thumb is to not pick up defense params unless you're stalling. and don't stack too much strength with HP because it'll be too much bulk

[surreal forge]

I mostly use these parameters

I change role dmg reduction 8 acc to role I use

[silver dirge]

Looks good to me, if it works it works

[surreal forge]

Yea it does

[thin pecan]

Any tips for Bruno?

[sand karma]

Evasion tanks suffer that's all

[crystal galleon]

15k looks like "I'm glad that CS is optional in difficulty"

[keen jasper]

Until DeNA directly increases the points to 20k pts., then the points increase won't matter to me

[crystal galleon]

I'll stick with 12.5k, but it's nice to know we can be masochists by means other than gacha odds

[fluid vessel]

It's not really, almost every modern unit obliterates 15k and the old reliable stalling options are as effective as always

[silver dirge]

Either way no obligation to do it, rewards are pretty inconsequential

[swift swan]

updated

[fluid vessel]

another week of better status

[keen jasper]

Hey, at least we get the R1 and R2 parameters at least

Time for SS Diantha to kick Blue's ass with perma rock zone

[grave wyvern]

It's doable but it's also very difficult, and it's perfectly fine to not want to do it

[toxic cobalt]

IS THIS THE BEST WEEK WE'VE HAD ALL YEAR?>
