manic mica

dusty crater
#

Do you have Leaf/Eevee?

keen jasper
#

Do you have Tech Sync Pairs Take x3 Damage parameter active?

manic mica
#

yes

keen jasper
#

Then that's the reason

SC Diantha is a tech unit

dusty crater
#

@manic mica have you done quadqueueing before?

manic mica
#

dusty crater
#

+quadqueue

Watch this footage (17s clip) : https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx3Nr07pJo2Noud7AwWW4yWQQIDbYsQTJQ
In this clip, when Flannery is about to Sync the opponent Aaron has nothing queue'd in the list. This leaves us with a very short window after the sync to queue a fourth move. Note in the clip how Flannery queues her TM before the opponent's High Horsepower. Look out for the orange "spiral aura" around your syncing Pokemon after the sync, the correct timing to queue is when that spiral is fading away, but you can also resort to button mashing!

The benefits of quad-queue is that it allows us to get two sync moves before the opponent's first one which is a game-changer if you're not using sync acceleration. A Sync Move does not count toward the Sync Countdown which is why without Quad-Queue or Sync Accel your second cycle usually leaves you at 1 countdown left when the opponent is using their Sync.

Note that Quad-Queue cannot be done under certain conditions that will make the opponent queue as your sync is executing :

  • If a field effect (such as weather, zone, move gauge acceleration etc) expires on the turn you're syncing. Usually happens if a field effect was cast on entry or first turn.
  • If an allied passive triggers an effect right after an enemy action completes (such as First Aid, Team Shout, Freevenge etc...)

Also make sure to read #1010307000346878062 first if you’re asking all these basic questions RoxanneThis

manic mica
#

so many to read

rotund lagoon
#

Knowing the gameplay and mechanics (which does require reading) is fundamental.

manic mica
#

im old player of 2 years

rotund lagoon
#

Well considering there is a lot the game does not tell you, our resources are valuable.

keen jasper
#

Nah sorry

#

Too much

dusty crater
#

I had to restart this battle multiple times because my phone cannot handle it WEEZing but here. @manic mica compressing and sharing in a moment

#

Won with 2/5 SCDiantha.

#

5/5 EX Leaf
2/5 EX Argenta

#

the 2/5 on Argenta doesn't do anything btw

#

this isn't even optimal gameplay and still won. KEKShrug

left storm
#

The teamcomp Is also far from optimal

dusty crater
#

we call it the "Hit or miss, but we never miss" team comp

nocturne pawn
#

why didnt you take eevee’s expanded grid

manic mica
dusty crater
nocturne pawn
#

based

mellow linden
manic mica
dusty crater
#

Switch EX argenta for Diantha nuke then

#

the EX on Argenta wasn't really required, but since you literally have 5/5 Diantha, you can beat it easily.

#

like even if umbreon didn't die, it would be about 9K damage, and i'd be able to survive the attack because endure, just swap to the side attacking, and aura sphere. that would do about 3K and be enough to ko

manic mica
#

hmm

manic mica
#

Having trouble with bug

trail smelt
#

I’m surprised SSHilbert didn’t work

undone ether
#

no tank? o_o

#

oh nvm

#

i see, no gauge hmm

#

can't you run a off-type gauge / tank with Alder?

hushed sorrel
#

manic mica
#

Imma try with poison stall

#

gl then.

I destroyed blue with hilbert

With any tank, genesect is self sufficient offensively

Focus blast hits like a truck

#

I’ve put Move Gauge Refresh on SS Hilbert and it doesn’t do shit

#

Like yes my luck probably

#

But techno blast is so slowwww

olive aspen
#

I went full on type post sync, 3k. Hilbert SS, sycamore and leaf (eevee). It was basically a hilbert solo lmao. Lower sp def to -6 and your sp atk to +6 then techno blast goes brr

manic mica
#

Ah I see

#

Sync on eevee and then hilbert

nocturne pawn
#

your hilbert is 3/5 you can sync with him first to ko mid

north crown
manic mica
north crown
# manic mica

could probably run SSHilbert + 2 tanks. SSHilbert can easily nuke mid presync, especially at 3/5 EX.

dusty crater
#

so question, has anyone done an eevee only run yet?

i technically could, but have to use Valerie ComeToBrazil

cedar fable
#

What pair should I use for lance

old orchid
#

we cant recommend anyone without knowing your roster

#

Cyrus should be enough unless you used him on Bruno

#

Cyrus is pretty good

#

Or zinnia

old orchid

Zinnia demands a lot of things tho MortySigh

Just the 850 pts one

# old orchid 850 pts are just slightly harder than hard mode

850 points should be no difficulty increase compared to Hard Mode, with 3 caveats:

  1. Your damage-dealer(s) must to be on-type.

  2. Your damage-dealer(s) must be only physical or only special for their damage output.

  3. Your team can do either without status conditions or without interference.

#

Those 3 caveats are generally very easy to work around, though

manic mica
#

thanks

trail smelt
#

First 3k Alola next reset hoohoo

keen jasper
#

Can't wait for Sinnoh and Hoenn 3k TabithaHehe

#

But I'm always doing above 3k anyways, so who the fuck cares?

full mesa
#

Hoenn 3k will be a pain...

#

Not that Kalos will be easier...

meager agate
#

i don’t think i can consistently do 3k runs whilst maintaining my own personal rule of variety, idk. it takes a lot of rng to be able to get less meta sync pairs to win at that level.

#

and i’m trying not to just have that one team that beats everything for that type, or two.

mellow linden
#

It depends on what the restrictions you’re setting for yourself are

zealous karma
#

A lot of players have felt similarly that 3K kinda killed theme clears as it can be super restricting on certain themes some being only possible in a 2.5K setting I say this as someone who tries doing themes every week

mellow linden
#

I’ve made Clair and Lusamine work in 3k, though I’ve used strong Supports for each (though I might be able to get away with a less potent Support with Lusamine, idk)

meager agate
#

cannot use the same damage dealing unit for a stage twice in a row, preferably should be able to use more varied strategies to keep the battles feeling fresh when i do them. which is also what i felt like was needed for my videos

zealous karma
meager agate
#

yeah i do try to get away with less when possible

mellow linden
#

Tbf I probably can still work using only gen pool for both, it just gets much less smooth (namely with Clair)

meager agate
#

ok but i have a single brain cell and a massive skill issue so

mellow linden
#

Since without SS Kris I’d likely be forced to run Clair’s Dragon Breath for Paralysis

meager agate
#

idk if i can describe what my usual attempts at variety are so i’ll just send a bunch of my video thumbnails and hope someone figures out a pattern

#

i try to shove in at least one weaker team per run

#

but it’s not always consistent

#

and while yeah i can probably get away with 3k for most of these teams, if those battles are taking way too long (retrying for like 30+ mins because skill issue or otherwise) i’m just not gonna be able to have fun with that

#

i want to be clear i’m just asking for a few second opinions on whether pursuing 3k runs is ideal given my situation

mellow linden
#

Can still give it a shot, this channel’s always open for advice and worst case scenario you only lose the time it took to make the attempt(s)

#

I’ve 3ked Steel weak Lance with regular Steven (who at this point is fairly outdated) and Hop + Rachel (who can easily be swapped for like Skyla or something) as the Supports twice now

#

If that helps any

meager agate
#

in fairness lance himself is also a bit dated lol

#

older leagues have lower effective bars to MM entry and all that

#

but yeah i get it

weak sleet
#

Who is designed to beat leaf?

mellow linden
#

I think NC Serena given the fact that ideally you wanna debuff her

old orchid
#

The stage wants to be spdef debuffed, so NC Serena yeah

#

And Variety Lyra too

weak sleet
#

I don't have lyra but I have Serena

#

So she should be super easy

#

They didn't change the other opponents any from the regular versions did they?

old orchid
#

Yup

mellow linden
#

As usual, the E4 is copy-pasted from their respective regions

steel kelp
#

Which means flint is obnoxious

#

Which is nothing new

weak sleet
#

Oh phew so it will be super easy to blast through them if needed with stuff with nc Marnie, rats, nc red, and Adaman.

mellow linden
#

Pretty much

weak sleet
old orchid
#

Flint hits hard

#

He was designed for SS Misty, because he has Good Form and Rising Tide

#

If you dont remove or debuff his positive stats, he hits real hard

steel kelp
#

Flint said he wants his turn 1 flare blitz

weak sleet
#

What would I want to run with misty?

old orchid
#

Do you want to nuke with her? If not just bring a good dmg dealer

weak sleet
#

Would may and suicune work?

old orchid
#

I would be real surprised if they didnt work

#

Tho i would save May or SS Kris for another fight, unless you have enough rain setter

weak sleet
#

Kyogre

#

But he just does it at the start I believe

#

And SS Calem

steel kelp
#

love Winona erasure

weak sleet
#

These are my water types

#

Not sure if there's any I should use for other fights? Any tips would be appreciated

steel kelp
#

Rosa is a funny unit

weak sleet
#

How so?

#

Also is 12.5k enough points to get the important rewards for the special stadium?

steel kelp
#

Razor shell and nuke hard

#

That’s more than enough

#

It’s like regular stadium where the rewards stop being good after like 4K or something

weak sleet
#

Oh yeah that would be

#

Who is good to use against malva in the special cup?

dark osprey
#

Malva would need a rain setter and a decent damage dealer with suitable support of your choice

#

Could try Grimsley if he works to be a bit conservative on resources

#

So you could allocate like the 5 best damage dealers on each of the teams firstly

#

Archie, NC Serena, May, Nessa and Kris

#

Plus do filter with move type so that ones like Cyrus are not overlooked

#

Plus the eggmons if you have gyarados especially

I lacked another +crit with my solgaleo run ;-;

Thats your issue on skill

noble plaza
#

solgaleo can buff his own crit with his grid

#

unless thats pb only

old orchid
#

You can bring another crit buffer anyway

noble plaza
#

Would Morty + Gio + Bianca vs Kahili be good or should I replace Bianca with a special attack buffer

old orchid
#

I would replace Morty, assuming he is SS Morty

noble plaza
#

BP Morty, sorry

old orchid
#

He doesnt provide offensive buffs, replace him with a spatk support then

#

Bianca is very useful because of terrain

#

Giovanni is an easy pre sync anyway

Are these teams good?

Altho NC Leaf doesnt need double support

Should I go Leon or PB EX Silver vs Molayne?

even as physical?

#

Sacred Firie Silver

If you turn on special damage reduction you can just use Silver as the main nuker

#

Just Speed lol

silver dirge
#

If you'd like to make it more ideal you should bring a support who buffs Hilda/Diantha's offenses. Also Akari really doesn't need 2 supports, you'd be outputting a lot more damage with another dark-type like MR on that team. Instead of Caitlin just sitting there. But if it works, it works LanceShrug

on-typed 2/5, i have NC Nate for champion, which of these should I offtype with NC Red

#

or i could offtype one of these with Nate and offtype champion with Red

mellow linden
#

I doubt you need to off-type either of them since it’s Hard Mode (unless you’ve used both types already and are off-typing to get more type medal progress)

mortal pine
#

i’ve used psychic

#

not fire because i don’t have any decent fire types

mellow linden
#

At worst you have Silver and likely Blaine, who’d be enough for Hard Mode easily

mortal pine
#

i have variety lucas actually is he good for fire weak?

mellow linden

Solid option in general, should be totally fine for Hard Mode (especially if you bring someone with Sunny Day as a teammate)

i’ll need to save him for round 4

maybe

Fun stages this week

old orchid
dense birch
#

Pretty sure i did them in the wrong order (sp atk down with ss red in round 3 lol), but i’m glad to hit 12/18 on my first alola hard week

#

Assuming next week is going to be the same rotation and weaknesses (maybe the round effects change?), my missing types are Electric, Ground, Poison, Ghost, Ice, and Fighting. So these are my units for those 6 types (4 more at the bottom i didn’t screenshot are Candice/Abomasnow, Wulfric/Avalugg, Clay/Seismitoad, and Janine/Ariados)

undone ether
#

these are the ones for next week.

old orchid
#

You have one week to prepare, dont worry

dense birch
#

Oh sweet ty

old orchid
#

The round effects are changed between weeks, and we dont know about then until reset

#

Your missing types are not super effective on the next week weakness, so you can use units from these types as fodder

dense birch
#

Ok cool. I’m still thinking that for next week, I can try some of the following:

  • Maylene as an X Attack All bot for one of the teams
  • Would Courtney/Camerupt be a good Ground DPS for Olivia?
  • MC/Pikachu can be a Potion bot for one of the teams
  • Maybe Lorelei/Lapras can be a tank for one of them?
#

Ghost is the one i will really struggle with haha

undone ether
#

Mewtwo's a pretty solid shadow baller

dense birch
#

Oh i mean for the medal type

#

I think mewtwo is psychic medal

undone ether
#

You have shauntal as well

old orchid
#

You better using Ghetsis as an offensive debuffer, Lorelei is not worth using at all

dense birch
#

I can probs pair Courtney with SS Blue or Sycamore for Move Acceleration

old orchid
#

Is Shauntal your only Ghost type?

old orchid
dense birch
#

Shauntal, Agatha and Acerola/Palossand

old orchid
#

Shauntal it is then

#

She is a solid Ghost type when gridded

dense birch
#

Ok i’ll look at upping and gridding her. I haven’t gridded anyone for a while so I should be sitting on quite a bit of coop sync orbs

north crown
#

or you could use overkill supports with Shauntal

#

e.g: Sycamore and Maylene

#

worst case scenario, Sycamore carries

dense birch
#

Probably should have thought of that for this week’s CS haha, since next week won’t have ghost week. I off-typed acerola

That's alright; just make sure you complete your Unovian type medal by next week.

mortal pine
#

why is variety lucas so bad, can’t even do hard level 1 with him on-type

silver dirge
old orchid
#

your team is quite frail

#

replace SS Elesa with a defense support

mortal pine
old orchid
#

no need to ping me

#

then we move to step 2: reading your sync pairs' kit

mortal pine
#

yeah it says here that he can raise ally special attack by 4 stages and his own crit rate by 2 stages

#

so i need one crit rate

old orchid
#

find a defensive support who can buff +1 crit then

mortal pine
#

and accuracy preferably so i don’t have to keep resetting

#

this is what i got for crit rate

#

and i also need sp atk

old orchid
#

Falkner it is

#

he helps both Lucas and SS Erika offensively

#

you should read his kit to know the reason

mortal pine
#

it’s been a while since i actually used falkner, haven’t used him since clearing story lmao

#

so he stays alive using fly? and supports with TMs?

old orchid
#

dont use Fly, it ruins the move queue

mortal pine
#

i just tried him out and it didn’t go well

old orchid
#

go for full defensive support then

#

tho i wouldnt use Lucas, when Silver exists

mortal pine
#

i won, only barely

#

champion battle time

#

i wanna use NC Nate here probably

#

and use unova supports of types i haven’t used yet

#

easy champion

grand trout
#

Is there a reason we don't know of round effects until the week itself?

formal vigil
#

Because they are only set until the actual week itself

grand trout
#

Ah, so they're not in the code until they are actually neededM

#

That's kinda interesting

wide adder
#

Which of the three types should I save Perma field for? Doing 3k

#

Woops set dragon instead of psy

#

there

old orchid
#

have you planned your teams for these 3 stages?

wide adder
#

havent fully planned the three stages yet, have to look at any potential gimmicks of those three

old orchid
#

i suggest planning first before decide to choose the round param

wide adder
#

been just building my teams on the fly for a while now tbh IrisDerp

#

does molayne set sand at all presync?

#

making sure im not missing something about each enemy kit

old orchid
#

he only sets sand post sync

wide adder
#

alright, kinda surprised by the lack of gimmicks after how long ive been used to gimmicky stages but im thankful for a simple looking clear

#

Haven’t picked support slots and possibly second dps with solgaleo yet. But I’m thinking maybe something like these?
Might replace gordie with something else too Idk

#

Didn’t touch the support slots since I’m figuring out side slot for solgaleo team first, although leaning toward prob like ncalem for gauge on solgaleo team

old orchid
#

replace E. Victor with SSR Cynthia if you want to sync with Leaf

#

i think SS Hilda's team is the best team to use the perma field round

#

Gordie uses max move right at the start to setup sun, then lower Fire rebuffs

wide adder
old orchid
#

i would use a gauge support and a defense debuffer instead of Falkner and Proton in Solgaleo's team

#

wait, Olivia is anti defense debuff

#

maybe adding another dmg dealer? im not a fan of double support comp

wide adder
#

idk which second steel type to include vs anti def debuff, any opinions?

old orchid
#

i assume you dont have Pal Marnie, is that right?

#

or V Thorton

wide adder
#

Right, second ss is all my move type: steel

#

Third shot shows my limited supports (and by extension all my exd ones other than Aaron)

old orchid
#

how about trying Hop + Solgaleo core? with Hop tanking and the SEUN stuff gridded

#

then a gauge support as the third is fine

wide adder
old orchid
#

BP Registeel is perfect

#

for Hilda's team, you can use Redlax for sync accel + SEUN

wide adder
#

For the registeel team does registeel or hop tank? I assume hops better in tank slot? Idk what the condition was for his seun tiles off top of my head

old orchid
#

Hop tanks ofc

#

the condition is taking hits

wide adder
#

Does this team layout seem good? I’m gonna be surprised if dragon team lasts longer than sync+max move since Serena is caked so just using falkner to round off stats

old orchid
#

good enough to me

wide adder
#

One last question; for ghost team, would you say nuking with victor, or swapping him for ssrc and nuking with Lillie for aoe, would be better overall probs?

old orchid
#

sync with Victor first, then Lillie

#

do note that Proton's passives prevent quad queueing so you should do turn denial as well

wide adder
#

Huh, alright. Thanks. Gonna sleep now since it’s like 4am and I’ll do the clears when I have time, thanks for helping with the planning

dusty crater
#

Trying to set up an Eeveeloution run for either this week or next week, but trying to see if it's even possible with what I have.

wicked pebble
#

How does this look for the current stadium? Probably planning on moving up to 2k and work my way up to 3k over time.

junior solstice
#

your roster looks like more than enough to 2.5k, even 3k

wicked pebble
#

I've been playing it safe for a while, just going for 1.5k. Thinking of taking it slow and working my way up to 3k stuff.

junior solstice
#

try 2.5k

#

I can assure you i jumped from 1.5k to 2.5k rather easily

#

im now doing 3k with a bit difficulty but your roster seems like enough

wicked pebble
#

well, what on the teams?

junior solstice
#

hold up, lemme look at the type weakness

#

what is summer tate weak to again?

#

obviously you have some off type menaces like ash, sst and johtrio

junior solstice
#

are they fully gridded?

wicked pebble
#

Yeah, they should be.

junior solstice
#

try uh the steel team on 2.5k with the points in pins

#

Im assuming you know of quad queue?

wicked pebble
#

If you mean sneaking in a move after Sync, yeah, I shoot for it when possible.

junior solstice
#

like doing 3 moves all at the same type

#

and yes sneaking in two moves after syncing

wicked pebble
#

These grids work?

junior solstice
#

sure

#

wait does that involve x defense all mp refresh on roxanne?

wicked pebble
#

Yeah, that's a general set-up I have with her.

junior solstice
#

uh

wicked pebble
#

That's the stalwart build from the sheet, I don't know what to tell you

#

would there be a better setup?

junior solstice
#

try
roxanne tm
marnie tm
tate tm
roxanne x defense all
marnie growl
tate thunder wave
roxanne x defense all
marnie steel wish
tate flash cannon

#

then sync with tate

#

then do roxanne tm twice after sync, growl two more times then spam iron head with marnie

#

tate should be save to spam flash cannon

wicked pebble
#

I canfigure out movesets alright, don't worry. Just curious on if I should go with a different grid setup for Roxanne or not.

junior solstice
#

idk how it'll work cause roxannes bulk is kinda medicore but whatever

junior solstice
#

and vigilance

wicked pebble
#

she should already have vigilane as a lucky skill.

junior solstice
#

alright, try pre sync 2.5k.

wicked pebble
#

one sec while I set it up

north crown
#

what's happening?

dark osprey
#

Main thing Roxanne would need on grid would be endurance

junior solstice
#

They wanted to slowly work up but they had units that should be able to do 2.5k with ease

north crown
#

I saw the above screenshot, tho why you using SuTate? Solgaleo is right there

#

unless the lion is not powerboosted/EX

junior solstice
#

sutate is 3/5 im assuming

north crown
#

Also, PMarnie is a compotent nuker if she's 3/5, so

old orchid
#

Tate has better output than Solgaleo anyway

junior solstice
#

wait she is 3/5

north crown
#

really? I didn't know that

junior solstice
#

im blind

#

yeah do pal marnie instead for nuker

old orchid
#

Tate is 3/5 too

#

Regardless of who sync first, Olivia is a cakewalk

north crown
#

p sure you can just use PMarnie to deny left, then use SuTate to obliterate mid

#

get that Mega stat boost going

junior solstice
#

doom desire be hitting so hard it obliterates 1/3 of lycanrocs health

north crown
#

ok now I'm wondering why Lord Typh didn't try 3k

junior solstice
#

they have ash sst red nc blue

#

have bugsy, have johtrio

#

idk

north crown
#

bro has every answer they can hope for

wicked pebble
#

Alright, Tate managed to finish first. Good thing I synced with him, Roxanne would have died without enduring.

junior solstice
#

do you have lucian?

wicked pebble
#

Yeah.

#

And I tend to play it safe and just stick to habits and routines a lot.

#

so that probably should help explain things for you.

north crown
#

bro just try 3k immediately; you have the roster to do it

junior solstice
#

do you have any special defense buffers with potion?

junior solstice
manic mica
#

Well I can say for certain since I have the team, electric rats and blue is easy 3k

manic mica
junior solstice
#

i seriously could not have guessed b thunderbolt with -2 electric rebuff wouldve not one shot

north crown
junior solstice
#

to be fair i can clear 3k with mc solgaleo hop and registeel (all with ex and powerboost)

old orchid

#

was it comfortable for you? or no

wicked pebble
#

Alright enough. Surprised how fast the tanks ended up falling at times though.

hushed lintel
#

Who can i use in order to carry the pasio stadium in a few weeks ?

#

I have 5 rain setters (Lyra Vaporeon/Egg Vaporeon shiny/ Shiny Blastoise / Wynona / Greninja Calem)

#

then i think we can add cyrus even if he is ungridded

#

4/5 Gladio (i don't know how good that will be)

#

I think Cerena is really strong should have her own team, so does may

#

oh may can bring rain

swift swan
#

Cerena, May, Cyrus, Nessa DPS, SS Grimsley nuke

#

don't forget lodge gives you some good water types, like lodge silver, lodge may, and lodge rosa

silver dirge
#

Is there a reason you can't grid your Cyrus?

swift swan
hushed lintel
#

yeah but i am unlocking exeggcutor

silver dirge
#

Shortage of Corb ?

swift swan
hushed lintel
#

in the lodge currently

#

i got ghastly

#

too

#

i can grid cyrus but it's not unllocked

swift swan
# hushed lintel

i think mega kick Kris is worth considering as well, though she will need an accuracy buffer

hushed lintel
#

i don't have the events

swift swan
mellow linden
#

He doesn’t need Power Boost

hushed lintel
#

to 6 star him + full grid

swift swan
#

his powerboost tiles makes his dragon DPS better

mellow linden
#

EX also won’t matter because his Sync is off-type anyway

#

Hydro Pump is at full power just from 5/5 20/20

hushed lintel
#

should i bring one rain settler per team ?

swift swan
#

if you can afford it, though sometimes it's not necessary if the unit is already very strong like Cerena

hushed lintel
#

Cerena, May, Cyrus, Nessa DPS, SS Grimsley nuke

#

WOn't Ness lack dps without the 3/5 ?

mellow linden
#

She doesn’t have that much in the way of regular move modifiers in grid

hushed lintel
#

i meant without the nuke

#

will she be able to clear a 2500 ?

#

because cerena is probably a free round

#

so would be May

mellow linden
#

2.5k is likely doable on one of the weaker stages (Shauntal or Olivia) just fine

hushed lintel
#

i don't have enough experience with Cyrus to say for sure but i think he will be strong

#

and Grimsley can nuke with his 3/5

#

as long as i don't one shot him ig he will be fine 🤣

old orchid
#

Grimsley wants rain more compared to other options, his sync is strong but his dps is lacking

#

his sync might not be enough to pre sync in higher scores (3k) without rain

hushed lintel
#

i am trying to go for 2500

#

i am not sure i am ready for 3000

old orchid
#

i think its fine

#

no worries, no need to push harder if you dont want to

hushed lintel
#

i need more support ex i think for the 3000

swift swan
#

Cerena and May can 3k their respective stages I believe

#

you can lower the points for the rest if you're not comfortable yet

hushed lintel
#

I'll try

#

i only have 3 supports that are ex 😢

#

Calem/Penny/HoHo Morty

old orchid
#

some people, like Aurochs, beat 3k CSMM regularly without EX and max evolution (mostly)

#

so dont worry about that

swift swan
#

EX supports help immensely, but it's all about gameplay and teambuilding at the end of the day

north crown
#

worse comes to shove, just poison stall SophoKEK

#

or offtype. it's one or the other.

wide adder
#

I can’t believe how f2p friendly steel 3k is tbh. This did miles better than I expected it to

dark osprey
#

Solgaleo is really nice now. Can even try double striker with Wikstrom or Molayne I guess

wide adder
#

I used registeel for gauge support so hop could spam behemoth after his sync

junior solstice
#

registeel provides some good gauge

dark osprey
#

Yeah true. Plus the extra dps damage

wide adder
#

Tbf I haven’t used registeel too much so far. It’s a unit I’m appreciating a lot more

#

My main wish is that it had an ex

dark osprey
#

Not sure if Hop does enough damage though before enemy sync. Can even save him for another battle

wide adder
#

Would make it a lot easier to fit on a team

junior solstice
#

steel teamwork is amazing though, you cant argue with that

wide adder
#

I basically just strength stack with hp8 cause most of my types are stacked

#

Made the params around the idea of not swapping for most stages

#

Haven’t had it fully stop a stage for me so far, holding my breath tho for when we get the harder regions back

#

Kinda wish we had more preset slots

#

Cause don’t got enough for all the presets I’d want to have more flexible params saved rather than stacking stats

junior solstice
wide adder
#

I don’t but I could record it by repeating the clear, the round didn’t matter (did it on r4 and the team does nothing with that)

#

Why you ask?

junior solstice
#

oh cause i managed to clear comfortably with level 130 i think

#

i want to see if 140 makes a difference

dark osprey
#

Nice. I too have kept parameters that I wouldn't need to change though some free points are not taken for some battles. Reaching max HP 6 with that though. Good to know even 8 is kinda comfortable

wide adder
#

Lv140 is a pretty small margin even compared to 120 iirc

wide adder
#

Ended up solving it with redlax + Bea combo though, and just spamming tms till second sync to oneshot the stage

dark osprey
#

Honestly for that if you have an adrenaline EXed support and Solgaleo with a fighting sync like even Bruno or probably even Korrina you would get through

#

Mainly deny the left side after the EX support sync and you would reach the second sync before the crit shield

wide adder
#

Yeah, it’s just awkward with how Lorelei sets up crit shield presync

#

I ended up bringing Darach there for insurance for that fact, although I can prob fit something to actually help the clear in that slot next time

dark osprey
#

Yeah. Darach does counter well for her gimmicks at least

wide adder
#

Just a shame that -eva is like all he does in the stage and removing shields

#

Cause she’s a special attacker

junior solstice
#

then realized i had physical dmg reduction 5 by accident

#

and one shot her with it

dark osprey
#

Rei gaming

junior solstice
#

rei owners are truly gaming

zealous karma

I didnt realize I had standard dr when using scsonia cause I thought her hitting for 3k was normal

I usually run SSElesa and Lucian for a general pool comp

Don’t got Lucian

#

Also Blue isn’t EXed

Then the next best choice would be Skyla. I would've said you would be lacking damage if this was pre expanded Blue grid, but I'm pretty sure he would be able to decimate the board.

And I have no idea what things to choose for master mode since I either die too quickly or can barely do any damage

north crown

If you want a beefy first sync, you will NEED "TM Ramp Up 2"

also pick up that highlighted tile, it costs 0 energy

Also you're neglecting the sync move multiplers, which are all the new grid nodes to the right

Hey, I am kind of lost, for kukui I can keep Cerena + rain setter and a tank but besides that I don't have many ideas, can 5/5 sidney work for acerola?

#

or maybe use Cerena in her dark form?

#

or just run off type if I don't have the characters for that

old orchid
#

5/5 Sidney works perfect

#

He needs dps assist tho

hidden monolith
#

like who?

old orchid
#

How can i know without seeing your roster?

north crown
hidden monolith
north crown
#

If you have expanded grid Cyrus, even easier

hidden monolith
#

I have yeah

#

I can use him with Winona

#

for the rain

#

and just use a tank/healer like base Leaf?

north crown
#

yeah she works, even better cuz she is EXed

hidden monolith
#

so for dark I should be running Sidney, Cerena, Shauna for example?

old orchid
#

Yes, if you dont use Cerena elsewhere

hidden monolith
#

What is the move order with her? never used her as a dark type

#

TM > brutal swing > water shuriken 2x > quick attack > brutal swing ?

swift swan
#

use brutal swing before quick attack so you get the dark rebuff

hidden monolith
#

oh I see, so TM > water shuriken 2x > brutal swing > quick attack > sync > brutal swing

swift swan
#

sidney will be syncing, no?

hidden monolith
#

oh true, lemme see if he is gridded

#

he is gridded!

old orchid
#

I would only use one WS in the first sync cycle

#

You want to use her TM twice before the second sync

hidden monolith
#

twice?

#

why? can't shauna maximize her buffs?

#

I dont have access to MPR at 1/5

old orchid
#

I mean B Move, sorry

hidden monolith
#

does brutal swing count as 3?

#

for the countdown

sharp willow
#

yeah, assuming there are 3 enemies still alive

#

it counts once for each enemy it hits

great

so who syncs first? shauna and then sidney?

Is Shauna EX'd?

I wish ebe were as easy as csmm when you get the gist of it

I managed to do it without asking for help once this week

Only had to ask twice for csmm WhitneySad

# hidden monolith https://streamable.com/4soqi7 what am i doing wrong 😩

I know you beat the stage, but I’m just gonna say this for future reference:

Your queuing until sync wasn’t fast/consistent enough, so you had a chance to sync before you were taken out
Second, Sydney prefers to use Brutal Swing cause it’s more powerful. And he actually prefers first sync as well cause Mega. Both of those increase his damage output.

hidden monolith
#

I think my queuing was fixed on the try I cleared it

rotund lagoon

#

The only ones I've heard that want first sync is Diantha/Gardevoir

rotund lagoon
#

There’s more than that.

paper summit
#

Blue, Diantha, Karen and I guess Lisia? depends on what you wanna do with her

#

there is also Zinnia if you want to use her for Dragon Ascent

#

and Wally if you want to use Close Combat

hidden monolith
rotund lagoon
#

May is also a good choice if she’s the main dealer.

#

Also pairs with form changes are Zerena, SS Lusamine for example

hidden monolith
#

didn't know about sidney, I thought that Shauna's sync buff is more valuable

mellow linden
#

I think in Sidney’s case it can depend on the specific team

rotund lagoon
#

I do recommend at least trying Brutal Swing for DPS next time as he relies on that for damage.

cerena is fine there, water has more options than dark

tried dawn and aaron as the support as well

#

Are you doing Hard Mode or Master Mode?

rotund lagoon
hidden monolith
#

sorry for the ping

#

I ran off type against Olivia and Kahili so I don't have any other options really

rotund lagoon
#

Is this your first time doing Master Mode? Or have you been doing it for long?

hidden monolith
#

I have tried master mode against all the different cs regions

#

tho it's my 2nd time going for max points

#

Last week was a lot easier

rotund lagoon
#

If you’re confident enough I guess ^^;
Could you show the params you’re using?

hidden monolith

#

Why is it so blurry

#

Oh it’s fine now

hidden monolith
#

huh lmao

rich needle
#

Also to add on I’m pretty sure Sydney dps isn’t worth increasing compared to serena

hidden monolith
#

you're honestly right, on my first attempt I synced with Cerena and she was hitting like 50k

#

on the second one I synced with sidney and he was only hitting for 24k

rotund lagoon
# hidden monolith

Wait why isn’t Special Damage Reduction (the 50 point one) on? That’s free points.

#

I’m also a bit sketch about that Df Up param

#

Have you checked the params sheet in the pins? We have one for 2.5k and a guide on how to adjust them for 3k

Your gameplay recorded?

hidden monolith

wasnt my best attempt

but yeah

#

I think something is wrong, I'm lacking speed as well

rotund lagoon
#

Wait forget what I said

hidden monolith
#

what

rotund lagoon
#

I’m gonna tell you something else: might be your parameters. I saw you had Df Up and that could be a factor. It also doesn’t hurt to lower your points here.

hidden monolith
#

ah well

#

alright

rotund lagoon
#

Make sure you’ve read the pins on our tips, too.

Your gameplay started out great, even with the missed queue you made up for it with the flinch denials. But post sync your queueing is a little messy, try & swap between TMs/moves better on your supporting pairs so Cyrus can consistently queue Hydro Pump. The second Spacial Rend also wasn't necessary, once you're at +2 crit go for Hydro Pump. Could also replace Dawn for a gauge support

But like Annie said do take note of the tips in the pins, Defense especially is iffy when you're trying to presync

hidden monolith
#

lowered it by 500 pts and it was a lot easier

hidden monolith
#

and ty both for the help

odd shore
#

Managed to get 2500 points with this team

#

The white mom girl is my most recent acquisition, and damn her g-move tanks especially with Leon’s Master Skill

#

And Morty healing

#

And in a thingy that makes field effects such as Aura Veil and Sun infinite

rain turret
#

I need help with teams for R1 and R2, for R3 I'll use groudon + camerupt + landorus on the olivia,since sun and ground zone stay permanent, for R4 toxic stall, for Kukui I'll use may + gloria + some support with R3 modifier for permanent rain

#

I was thinking on going on R1 against acerola with karen

rotund lagoon
#

Acerola would be tricky for R1 cause she has mixed moves and can buff both her Atk and Sp Atk. What’s your flying team like for Hala?

rotund lagoon

They said R3 for Kukui. He’s Champ (R5), is he not?

#

I gave up on tryna get 15,000 points for now

#

Settled for a 11,500 finish for now

#

Need to wait until I can get more of the newer sync pairs that have come out in the time I’ve been gone

rotund lagoon
#

15k is not exactly needed as the rewards between 12.5k and 15k are very minimal.

#

It’s better to focus on improving your own roster (no new limited pairs necessary!) and get better at the game RoxanneThis

odd shore
#

I’m just tryna get resources for EXing my units

#

Granted I don’t think I have any decent choices to EX right now

rotund lagoon
#

Supports are the better carries for an early roster.

#

Focus on those first.

odd shore
#

Yeah ik

steel kelp
#

11k is more than enough anyway

odd shore
#

I played the game for the first 2 years, and basically quit afterwards

#

Popped in a couple times inbetween and dropped whatever free gems were being given out and got a couple extra sync pairs

rotund lagoon
#

The basic fundamentals haven’t changed all that much tbh

odd shore
#

Here’s my EX roster rn

rotund lagoon
#

That can clear 12.5k (or 11k like you did before) just fine RosaThink

#

Maybe when there are different weaknesses, I don’t have much for Dark, Rock, or Flying

rotund lagoon
#

The ticket scouts will be a lifesaver for those gen pool pairs you don’t have

odd shore
#

Though I did offtype 2500 points against Olivia with Leon, Morty and White Galar Ice Mom girl

rotund lagoon
#

My other option is to see if you have any Kanto tickets to try for 3/5 Blue

odd shore
#

I did get asthma Suit Lana & Tapu Lele, I also have a striker candy rn that I’m considering using on her, tho idk if it’s worth it if I can’t get her to 3/5 rn, but I could EX her rn if I want to

#

my flying types and EXs,gloria and may are saved for kukui and maxie is for olivia,Im thinking on trying rose against kahili,since his stone edge/max rockfall hits everyone

rotund lagoon

You can try poison stalling/off typing then. I’d honestly choose that over just plopping resources into Kahili (assuming she has nothing on her)

rain turret
#

I beat hala off-type with NC red, nemona and phoebe

#

nemona to rush sync with her TM and phoebe to increase crit rate since NC red TM only boosts Sp atk

#

now I have kahili or acerola for R2, olivia is saved for R3

rotund lagoon
#

Either would be fine for R2/R4

manic mica
#

I wasted my NC Serena on Acerola 😭😭😭

#

Now I can’t use her for kukui

Eh, Water is one of the most stacked types in the game, it’s not a huge deal

Now if only he autos better

Not that that’s important in CS haha

Finally got CSMM unlocked woo

#

Now to figure out teams to run, outside of the easy 3k points Rat team. derp

noble plaza
#

Any recommended order to do these in?

paper summit
#

buddy, you gotta remember that depends a tad bit on your teams

noble plaza
#

Fair. I meant more so anyone I should avoid for certain rounds?

paper summit
#

I guess you could avoid Olivia and Acerola on round 1 since they use special moves, and if you are not using a poison immune tank (or able to cure it) for Kahili then avoid her on round 4, the Salamence has Toxic and Go Viral 9

noble plaza
#

Rip I saw this too late and now im doing R4 Kahili sobmelt

#

I do have supports that can deal with poison though

#

I usually use Olivia and Kukui for rock though so I guess I need to replace Kukui with someone else

#

I do have 1/5 Gordie and Lodge Raihan though but I haven't used either yet

swift swan

lodge raihan's a support

Flying/Rock/Ground in one week is pretty bad. Good luck mates.

Post PB blue solved any non Wise entry X2 flying weak tbfh

#

Ground without Naomi as a new account suuuucks

noble plaza
#

who should I use vs kahili? It's R4. I usually use Olivia and Kukui but the Toxic and Burn makes me nervous

noble plaza
#

I already used Ingo btw but I still have Bertha

mellow linden
#

If you're concerned about statuses you can either adjust the Support or just reset if a status happens (I actually forgot that the Salamence has that stuff because it never came up during my Kahili clear this week, so it's definitely not guaranteed)

noble plaza
#

I wasn't sure which support to use in either case tbh

mellow linden
#

Could do something like Bertha + Olivia + Sonia and see how that works out

full mesa
#

I run SSACynnthia/Bertha/Olivia against her on r3.

noble plaza
#

Yeah 15k

nova imp
#

I mean I can send u my team for 13k

#

if that works for u

#

I used an offtype for it

#

not that hard honestly

#

but if you want to use on type

#

you can do roark

#

and also r4 right?

#

so you can use a sleep setter

#

to sleep chain

Who would be the better damage dealer for the dark weak fight?

Hard Mode or Master Mode?
