I just took two supports who healed and said yolo
toxic cobalt
Immediate Grusha use

One mistake I made with the params is I used Tech x3 DMG instead of Striker x3 DMG on Cynthia
lean lion
Sorry for pinging but I'm having another problem. Running Blaine + EX SS Blue. But Hilda is 2/5 so I'm not maxing crit. Should I go with another supp?
lean lion
She needs 3/5 no?
lean lion
Only 1/5
sick inlet
What supports do you have?
lean lion
Wait ill send a picture of all my supp and the teams I'm using
sick inlet
Ok
lean lion
For Lucian I'm gonna replace Karen with Sidney
And I have 1/5 Gordie if he'll be better for Sun + Fire rebuff with Hilda
old orchid
Falkner is a bit frail
sick inlet
can try falkner, I suppose
Was about to say this, if you can handle being less defensive
old orchid
I would try Hop
sick inlet
Falkner can fully boost offenses
Hop already in the dark team
But we can change hop from dark team, since they don't need that extra crit/defenses
If you use Hop instead of SSBlue
You can put SS blue on the other team
lean lion
I'll have to rely on Blue's passive to max Serena's atk though
Max crit but only +2 atk on TM
swift swan
I'll have to rely on Blue's passive to max Serena's atk though
nc serena, i assume? that's fine, she hits hard anyway
lean lion
How about Shauna instead?
Yeah nc Serena
Then I can use SS Blue with Red instead of Skyla
He doesn't need that much help anyway
sick inlet
You can thank me after clearing 
verbal karma
I am trying to do R1 Flint with NC Rosa and SS Lana, but...I can't beat Flint before he syncs, and neither NC Rosa nor SS Lana can survive his sync
sick inlet
What are your parameters?
These units are bulky
If they're dying to sync
Then you're running heavily offensive presync
Parameters
O i need to read better, SS lana not lana
Well nc Rosa still bulky

Maybe try R1 Aaron with burn

Have not started with any battle need 2 pieces dark and ground
verbal karma
What are your parameters?
sick inlet
Yeah you're doing hyper offensive parameter
You cannot afford taking a sync
Even if you eat a sync and live, you won't survive past it
dark osprey
Ss Lana may find it difficult to finish off Flint in time unless using sleep hax from NC Rosa
sick inlet
Even if you eat a sync and live, you won't survive past it
Either clear pre-sync or change parameters
verbal karma
What’s the 3rd member, use a def debuff
SS Dawn
dark osprey
Flint already has high sp atk stat plus +2 sp atk and high bulk
manic kiln
Rosa bmove then 2 TM, lana TM then use terrain twice. Debuff defense. Sync with ex support then Bmove lana to clear
Ditch ssdawn, deadweight, use bp clemont
sick inlet
verbal karma
Rosa bmove then 2 TM, lana TM then use terrain twice. Debuff defense. Sync with ...
Wait, Lana already generates terrain on debut, tho?
And yeah, I am already using NC Rosa's TM
sick inlet
The idea is stacking pmun to one shot
manic kiln
Delay your sync till you use all buff, debuff
That was with 8 PMUN and -6 def for mid, sides are weak don’t need to debuff them
Non ex lana

Isn't it funny how people struggle to have a good support without NC Rosa but I have NC Rosa but No units that are strong and pair with her very well ok maybe a few but mostly nothing
steel kelp
Skill issue
sick inlet
NC Rosa is a bit unique, she can pretty much support all types. Just focuses on 2 with rebuffs
steel kelp
The rebuffs are neat but you stay for the consistent stacking
versed mural
Skill issue
Probably cuz I didn't start strategically at 4th Anni to get most gems and good units
steel kelp
Like SS acerola is pretty nuts with grass because terrain on entry and extended but that doesn’t mean you can’t also use her with other physical units
steel kelp
Cynthia consistently being the easiest part of sinnoh cs

rose ermine
Nothing else would work with ghetsis tho
Since he eats gauge
I need that speed buff from lucian
old orchid
what move level is your Leaf?
steel kelp
Leaf is your battery
old orchid
some weather tech like Winona and Blaine can generate gauge
old orchid
speed buffs from TM + Racing Rain
is Ghetsis gridded with TM MPR? he wont get max offensive buffs in that team
rose ermine
so replace winona for lucian?
old orchid
i would change both Lucian and Leaf
rose ermine
leaf to?
old orchid
she doesnt help Ghetsis much at 1/5
rose ermine
should i add SSA/Aaron?
steel kelp
They don’t help ghetsis
old orchid

You can thank me after clearing <:TabithaHehe:998042781375275158>
Didn't make all the changes yet, powered through with Hilda Blaine SS Blue. But I'll try again later tonight with different teams. Gonna try to get atleast 11-12k this week.
Thanks so much though! I know it'll be better with the changes you suggested.

Was I...not supposed to use a Special Attacker?
manic kiln
you can, probably have to postsync tho
verbal karma
Oh
mellow linden
Dark weak Lucian has Wise Entry x2, iirc
verbal karma
I mean, I am also using a Sp. Def debuffer
silver dirge
What's Caitlin doing there anyway
steel kelp
That’s not what wise entry x2 does
mellow linden
X2 means the base stat is doubled
verbal karma
Problem is that Karen's sync hits like wet paper
mellow linden
Because of WEx2
verbal karma
What's Caitlin doing there anyway
Buffing defenses
mellow linden
It’s not Karen’s fault
steel kelp
And how’s Karen getting buffs
verbal karma
X2 means the base stat is doubled
Oh
mellow linden
Affordable physical Dark team is Masked Royal + Nessa + Attack/crit Support (Hop is a cheap one)
verbal karma
Oof...Masked Royal...
mellow linden
Depending on your roster more expensive options may be available
steel kelp
What he’s not bad
mellow linden
Yeah, Masked Royal is a great nuker
verbal karma
Depending on your roster more expensive options may be available
Hold on, lemme get a screenshot then
steel kelp
I did it with him and filbert
mellow linden
If you must avoid using MR then Sidney can work as the nuker
verbal karma
Here are my Dark type pairs
mellow linden
I’m assuming Fall Hilbert isn’t an option due to the level 1, so nothing really changes from what I’ve brought up except for BP Karen being able to replace Nessa if you have a lot of healing
verbal karma
I’m assuming Fall Hilbert isn’t an option due to the level 1, so nothing really ...
I mean, I can level up Hilbert, I think? But what does he have to offer?
mellow linden
Nessa replacement option
steel kelp
Spur on is also helpful
mellow linden
Not really necessary
steel kelp
I keep forgetting nessa is an option
mellow linden
Anyway, Masked Royal/Sidney, Nessa/BP Karen/Fall Hilbert, and an Attack + crit Support is an easy physical Dark team
Also, for future reference Karen absolutely needs at least a Sp. Atk. or crit buffing Support
Fall Caitlin is a terrible Support for her
If you can get both Sp. Atk. and crit from the Support that’s fantastic
rose ermine
Why won't mid die

Who did y'all use for half sync
nocturne pawn
Who did y'all use for half sync
flint
short karma
Is there somewhere I can find a guide for optimal/easy 3k parameters?
silver dirge
There's a guide in the pins with some tips, but it doesn't have a set of parameters since they're really dependent on the individual stage & team you're using
verbal karma
Almost...
Doesn't help that this team is sadly extremely inconsistent: Hop dies before the enemy syncs, like, 80% of the time
mellow linden
Can try Aaron then, just make sure that like Hop he’s gridded for MP Refresh so he can max the team’s Attack and crit
Also, just in case you’re not doing it already, make sure to use Brutal Swing on Masked Royal so he can apply Defense debuffs to the sides as well, that + the bit of chip damage will help make cleanup easier
swift swan
Who did y'all use for half sync
Bertha because i was memeing. Would have done Flint otherwise
A lot of psychic types love sync accel and thrive from half sync
sharp willow
also went Flint bc mega syncs
mellow linden
Who did y'all use for half sync
Aaron, because my Fire team is ridiculously strong (NC Leaf + SS Hilda + SS Morty)
steel kelp
Who did y'all use for half sync
Flint because my psychic team would eat him alive

why does lucian take 0 damage
undone ether
what's your team?
lunar rose
nc marnie nc calem and misty duck as filler
mellow linden
A few things:
- Blue is contributing basically nothing to an SST Red team, I’d recommend replacing him with a 2nd Electric damage-dealer and adjusting the Support as necessary.
- Giovanni really wants reliable Sp. Atk. buffs from the Support.
- Silver ideally wants a 2nd Sun setter due to how reliant his damage is on Sun being active.
- If Poison stalling Cynthia you may want to adjust the team to include an offensive debuffer. If you’re running Lucy as a damage-dealer I’d recommend going with a dual damage-dealer setup alongside Roxie + Scolipede (Looker works too if you have him).
mellow linden
nc marnie nc calem and misty duck as filler
Dark weak Lucian has doubled base Sp. Def.
So he takes way less damage from special moves
lunar rose
ok nc serena it is
mellow linden
NC Marnie under Dark Zone should still be able to win with relative ease if the parameters are fine, but if you have the ability to run physical it’ll likely be smoother
mellow linden
It happens
I’ve had the wrong Damage Reduction 8 turned on plenty of times, it’s an easy mistake to make
versed mural
A few things:
- Blue is contributing basically nothing to an SST Red team, I’d ...
-Blue was there for a joke of doing Kantrio I'll change it regardless
-Ill try without changing the Flint team if not I'll swap Bianca/Rosa.
-Because of Ally Healing down I really can't afford to eat continous MegaHorn/Pin Missile so I used Iono to Raise Sp Atk and then Use Sun from his Sync to do Max damage since I don't have dauntless.
-And I'll switch Shauna for Roxie.
Thanks!
mellow linden
If you use Roxie + Lucy replace Sycamore
Shauna is the better Support for Roxie + Lucy
versed mural
Oh ok but what about Burn?
mellow linden
It’s not guaranteed, so can just reset if it ends up being a problem
mellow linden
Should be alright to try, if something isn’t working we can always help troubleshoot
versed mural
Alright Thanks!
sharp willow
SS Gio it would seem
crystal notch
does he have like flameproof
or did they just expect him to nuke cynthia down so it doesn't matter
sharp willow
nah its just a stage that does poison weak stage things
crystal notch
HE4 + r5 param though, DeNA should get out of the kitchen
sharp willow
they get the hostile environment parameter included with them, they usually want you to poison them
game tells you to use swimsuit misty for the burns specifically, Giovanni is recommended bc she has a post sync evasion gimmick apparently
crystal notch
she does
+3 eva I think?
after sync
so just pre sync her
also +1 sp atk for every eva
sharp willow
yeah ive literally never gotten to her sync move without resetting before

formal vigil
why not use sonia over hop?
verbal karma
because Sonia won't allow me to quadqueue due to her passive
while Hop has Adrenaline
formal vigil
though anyways might be worth weaking the sides with jaw lock before killing mid
mellow linden
You can just use Aaron or, if using Sonia, reset until the opponent doesn’t use a damage move right before your 1st Sync
formal vigil
shouldn't you be syncing sidney first anyways?
mellow linden
If using Sidney it’s worth a shot at Syncing with him 1st and seeing if that works out, yeah
Anyway, for the alternative Supports, make sure that Aaron is gridded with MP Refresh if using him and that Sonia is gridded with Trainer Move MP Refresh and Critical Squad if using her, so that the team can be at max Attack and crit

Your teams bud?
And params if you don't mind
I wanna try and go for 12k+ this week too
dense birch
pretty much standard 2.5k presets
R1 is very reset heavy, would not recommend. lol
you have to quadqueue blast burn into flame wheel to bypass endurance
lean lion
Ghetsis working well against Bertha? I find it Guage becomes a problem when I use him
lean lion
I'm off typing Bertha with Red this week
dense birch
blue helps with x defense all, so that ghetsis doesn't die after 1 sync. pray they don't use EQ too much
dense birch
originally had shauna for lucian tank, but she is psychic weak. hop fills same role (Atk/crit). could try aaron too
lean lion
After making all suggested changes. Went from 7.5k first clear to this. Sorry fo...
These are the teams I used
dense birch
with EX'ed SSB, he does first sync for the +2 sync buff. then ghetsis' next sync will wipe out nidoking
i was thinking of off-typing bertha with SST Red too, but worried about earth weakness
lean lion
Oh yeah
One Earthquake eats 80% of Red's health
But i can pre-sync so I just have to hope for no Earthquakes before that
dense birch
ghetsis needs to be gridded for glaciate accuracy. miss generally equals reset
also it's pretty hard to use ghetsis because of 4 bar limit, and glaciate uses 4 bars
dense birch
good thing about SSB is he effectively has 4 TM moves
steel kelp
Hala works
lean lion
Also has haymaker at 2/5 so
steel kelp
I haven’t used him in forever but he’s good
dense birch
i want to try Hala someday, but i think i will wait until i EX him first or something. lol
lean lion
good thing about SSB is he effectively has 4 TM moves
So you save 2 TMs for after support ex sync so you can use guage for Glaciate?
steel kelp
Wait how is ghetsis getting his buffs
dense birch
i do mga > x def > x def > mga, then it's kinda pray you have enough speed
team shout lol
originally i had roxanne. but she dies in 2 hits
dense birch
live and die by rng
lean lion
Talk about RNG. It was hell trying to land poison on all 3 enemies with Koga. Regret not picking BP Erica now, can't wait to get her.
dense birch
you can do like water pulse and try to squeeze out time to queue glaciate. i save both of winona's TM's for after blue uses sync
do you have drasna?
lean lion
Yeah 1/5
lean lion
She has guaranteed poison?
dense birch
R5 has status up iirc
dense birch
my comp is a bit jank. i rely on sycamore recuperation to tank. drasna has super freebie 9, so after you toxic, you can kinda spam sludge bomb for free moves to build up sync (until you start missing togekiss anyway)
grand trout
Does he4 mean flint burns 50% of the time?
dark osprey
Yes
lean lion
my comp is a bit jank. i rely on sycamore recuperation to tank. drasna has super...
I presynced it pretty handily with Roxie Eevee and Koga at 2.4k. Just need more reliable poison to make it less RNG. Cause I'm my run I need to land poison back to back to back on all 3 so they can start damaging themselves. Otherwise I fall just short. Happened so many times that the 3rd died to poison after killing my team.
dense birch
yeah i did poison stall. so janine/ariados for venom drench spam to get them to -6 atk/spatk, and watch them do 50 dmg per attack
very safe
dense birch
yes
for the tank, i recommend someone that has some form of healing, and anti-burn. you shouldn't need too many heals
tulip python
Hmm is there a recommended order for this round?
My current plan is Flint—>Lucian—> Bertha—> Aron
Just cause round 4 Aron is gonna get seriously wrecked by
N
sharp willow
only real advice is "use your strongest team first"
or a team that has a character that really wants their mega sync since half sync cooldown
swift swan
R1 is the only real threat
the rest is pretty free
just be mindful R3 prevents quadqueue
tulip python
Woo that was simpler than last week
Very satisfying to see Bertha die
Articuno you’re a god send

lean lion
Can Blaine do decent damage if I grid him properly? I could really use something extra damage against Aaron. Running Blaine Hilda Hop.
manic kiln
Hilda is better for both regular dmg and sync
keen jasper
His DPS is ass, but his nuke is strong
manic kiln
blaine most of the time will be used as sun bot, there are better fire units
keen jasper
And yeah, Hilda is definitely better than Blaine
dark osprey
Blaine does help with the burn, trap and if needed with full grid can guaranteed crit nuke plus set sun on sync. Would be better paired with Silver than 2/5 Hilda though because 2/5 Hilda really can't afford to do dps
Can experiment with a burn stall with Blaine, Skyla and an attack debuffer like probably Mina or something for 2.5 K since Aaron does take quite a bit of damage with burn
lean lion
Why does my Hilda keep missing crits with max crit?
Condition defense shield prevents crits?
mellow linden
Is it on Sync Move?
lean lion
Yeah
mellow linden
Sync Moves have an innate -1 crit
mellow linden
It happens, fortunately it’s only a 20% chance, so odds are in your favor
lean lion
And I have to pre sync or I get nuked, so gotta get quad queue right. Only to then miss the final crit. Very frustrating. Oh well
Okay i got it

Every proper team needs a proper Support, you are going to need to know those fundamentals to beat these stages.
crystal quartz
I hate aaron
crystal quartz
I would use shauna probably
I have like 4 grass tanks
I need to save grass for another stage
mellow linden
He does things
He can max crit and help the gauge
Obstruct is a more niche tool, but it also has its uses
knotty storm
You should take in the advices man
Use shauna to increase atk, gordies dynamax to bring sun + fire debuff, sync with silver
crystal quartz
He does things
He cant tank any hits
mellow linden
Wise use of Obstruct will immensely increase his survivability
Also he can definitely take at least some hits, if he's getting one-shot from full health regardless of move then you're running him way below level 120
knotty storm
This tbh
crystal quartz
I WON
why does obstruct have to be used at such specific times
Hes such a niche tank
mellow linden
Obstruct messes with the Sync countdown in most situations, so it takes more planning to use well
crystal quartz
I thought he was gonna die because I used the move gauge up instead of obstructing and they had like 1 hp
Who should I fight now?
mellow linden
Well even if your Support goes down that doesn't automatically mean a loss
mellow linden
Who should I fight now?
How many Elite 4 members have you already beat?

How many Elite 4 members have you already beat?

mellow linden
The most impactful round parameter is the one that sets Reflect at the start, and that's only because it prevents quadqueue
mellow linden
Wait your previous medals carry over?
As long as you beat the champion on a given week the type medal progress made that week is saved for the region forever
So if you complete the type medal and beat the Champion this week you'll have Master Mode unlocked for Sinnoh CS forever

I ended up leveling up brock
dense birch
Oooft
For what it’s worth. I think Rock is a very easy medal to fit in since Roxanne is quite flexible

No one specifically called out Brock as a recommendation, you chose to do that yourself.
Anyway, Nessa can help with Lucian due to Jaw Lock providing Dark coverage and Nessa herself covering Water on the medal. Ice and Poison are types you need to cover on the medal, so teams for Bertha and Cynthia already have good starting points
Aaron is a good Attack + crit Support in general and provides Bug for type medal

So Bertha and Lucian then, alright. Can get a minimum of at least Ice done against Bertha since she's weak to it and Nessa can provide at least a portion of damage output via Jaw Lock while filling Water on the medal against Lucian

mellow linden
Most Supports are tanks. Aaron is particularly notable in terms of bulk thanks to Defend Order + one of his passives allowing him to buff the whole team's Defense and Sp. Def. (but that should wait until after he's buffed the team's Attack and crit as much as possible via his Trainer Move)

If you're struggling to hit 120 you can try it with Aaron at a bit lower and see how it goes. Worst case scenario you need to come back to finish things up tomorrow

I believe we have told you multiple times that level is just fine for content.

It starts getting a lot more expensive past 120, so it's generally best to focus on 120 for Sync Pairs you're using until you have a major stockpile of resources for going past that level

Wally is a solid option when fully setup, he just tends to require a little more help from teammates than other options (and he also greatly appreciates more Move Levels)

She's actually on the lower end of Poison damage-dealers, too. Just goes to show that you can make pretty much anyone work if you want
Anyway, congrats on the clear

So what now?
mellow linden
I'd recommend sticking with 850 points per stage (4250 points total) to start with when you do Master Mode since it has little to no difficulty increase over Hard Mode and also gets all the most important rewards
Can try your hand at Master Mode when you feel you're ready for it. Like I said above, 850 points per stage is a good starting point
old orchid
In some comps, 850 pts is easier than hard mode because you can focus on team synergy instead of adding fillers to the team

No it was fine
mellow linden
If you don't understand what all the parameters do I'd recommend starting with 850 points per stage to get used to the mode
And the number one biggest thing I see in mistakes made from people new to the mode:
The 50-point Physical Damage Reduction and 50-point Special Damage Reduction parameters are free points as long as you're doing proper teambuilding. The 100-point Physical Damage Reduction 8 and 100-point Special Damage Reduction 8 parameters are not free points, and you need to make sure you pick the one that will not hinder your damage-dealer(s)

850 on lucian was easy
But now I used my best units
mellow linden
Thus lies the challenge of CS, you need to make sure you're spreading your strongest options across the 5 fights instead of throwing all your nukes at 1 stage
If need be you can reset and start over all you want now that Master Mode is unlocked
Albeit you might need to finish everything on Hard Mode first (I forget if you can reset at any time or only after clearing again)
Anyway, just make sure to follow the Teambuilding 101 guidelines and try to use damage-dealer who target the type weaknesses and it shouldn't be too bad

Is there a trick to quad queuing consistently? I'm doing Bertha at 2.7k w/ Skyla, SST Red and Winona. I start with Max move > Rain Dance > Skyla TM > Red TM. Then I'm trying to quad queue again after first sync. So I can get 2 syncs + 2 Buddy TB (post 2nd sync) in before Bertha syncs. But I keep failing one or the other and have to reset a lot. Is there a trick I'm missing or is it unreliable nmw?
lean lion
What's the trick? Is there I video I can watch for the timing?
Or just trial and error until I get kinda used to it?
toxic cobalt
+quadqueue
frozen depotBOT
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...)
lean lion
Thanks so much!

Missing it by this much. Just gotta do a little better after 2nd sync. One b move away..

Also some round parameters may prevent quad queueing
Or terrain expiring
Or someone getting hit and triggering their on hit passive buffs
lean lion
Or terrain expiring
I planned for this. Getting first quad queue more consistently in now. Using Rain Dance as my 2nd move on Winona.
lean lion
All i need to do now is queue one move after 2nd Red sync to prevent Bertha from queuing Eq. Spam bmove after sync, eat one EQ (which I can with all 3 pairs alive). Then Bmove to finish.

Quadqueueing is mostly easy if you know the animation timing of each unit

I mean, it's true right?
Most of the units have the same sync animation timing, some have different timings

You guys memorize them?
I just feel it out for each team I build for CSMM on the spot

No need to memorize it imo, just tap as fast as possible
old orchid
Really? Rosa's feels different to me <:CaitlinSleeper:618318506349428776>
The form changing animation doesnt let you choose any moves, so you still have the same window to quad her TM

Doesn't the form changing animation add to the total time after the sync aura though?
That's what I usually use to time mine
manic mica
I see Cynthia has the parameter status condition deal more damage, which means poison stall steam! What’s a good poison stall team for 3k?

what params are you using? the team should tank Flint's attacks just fine
and who take the first sync?
toxic cobalt
THat team should beat flint
old orchid
its ontype so Standard Damage Reduction is literally a free param
dont pick defense params as well, you are aiming to pre sync
also, always sync with Lusamine first
the pins have guide on 2.5k/3k pts CSMM, you should go check it out
fervent otter
i feel so dumb, i thought standard was on the whole time
🫠
thank you, i just completed csmm, all i needed was less defence
trail smelt
silver dirge
thank you, i just completed csmm, all i needed was less defence
As a very easy rule of thumb, avoid defense like the plague if you are doing a standard damage run, whether it be post sync or pre sync
Defense 1 is fine sometimes, the rest are a huge no unless you are doing something like a poison stall
lean lion
Lacking some damage against 2.8k (need it for 12.5k) Cynthia. Should I grid and lucky skill Koga? Someone else? Maybe give Roxie fifth star? Or use a different team and Poison stall instead?
old orchid
you can toxic stall her just fine
lean lion
With this team?
old orchid
Lucy + Janine + Leaf
lean lion
Do I need to grid or lucky skill Janine or Lucy? Or just leveling to 120 will be enough?
old orchid
leveling up is enough
lean lion
Alright I'll try
old orchid
that team can do 3k pts btw
remember to grid Leaf with healing stuff and Potion Friend Mend to cure burn
lean lion
Adrenaline not needed?
I see Janine can AOE sp atk debuff
So maybe I can survive a couple syncs?
Idk
old orchid
you dont care about Adrenaline in stall teams
grid Recup so Leaf heals every time she syncs
Janine has aoe offensive debuffs yes, to soften enemies' attack up
lean lion
Correct?
lean lion
Any suggestions for the 300 more points over 2500 poison stall params?
STR or Atk maybe?
Or max sync cd?
wide adder
Str/atk sounds like it can be scary to bother with when stalling unless your tank is just “that bulky” or something imo, with how many sync cycles that can last
I haven’t touched stall in a hot minute though
old orchid
i would choose strength params
R5 param boosts the effective of badly poison, so choosing Gradual Healing is not a bad idea
old orchid
you want trap to stall faster
plush tangle
gradual healing's always good to take, toxic is exponential anyway you'll just need to survive a few more turns it's not a big deal
old orchid
so dont pick interference immunity
lean lion
Okay got it
old orchid
can pick Ally HP halved on entry as well, because Leaf is a strong healer
lean lion
trying grad heal + str 1 + strike x3
If damage becomes to too much ill try half ally hp

Have you tried making sample teams for each stage first? It's better if you get the hang of teambuilding yourself, and we can guide you along the way with feedback. Do the following as a general guide:
- Choose a damage dealer for each stage
- Carefully inspect the damage dealer's kit (passives, grid (where relevant), moves) and find what buffs they need, or what multipliers they'd like help setting up
- Choose support(s) that can help with the above
- If you have a free slot left over, you can opt for a utility pair like defensive debuffs, weather/terrain/zone, or simply just a filler type for your medal that you haven't completed yet
Post the teams here and we'll advise on any changes you should make

Recommendations for next week's CSMM's Ghost weak wise entry Lucian and Fighting weak Cynthia?
And ground weak Aaron
I might have to offtype Bertha with SST Red. Cause it's a pain to deal with Earthquakes as Solgaleo
mellow linden
Bea would be a good pick for Fighting weak stages
Might have to off-type or Poison stall Lucian
Courtney can work for Aaron (just make sure to have a way of negating Acute Senses, be it Gradual Healing parameter or an interference effect/Rebuff)
formal vigil
Courney with clay might work for aaron
lean lion
So clay + Courtney + supp who can cause any interference
mellow linden
I dunno if Clay would be that big of a boost to the team, but if solo damage-dealer Courtney ends up not working then you can potentially try adding Clay or Hapu to supplement damage
mellow linden
So clay + Courtney + supp who can cause any interference
If you’re on Master Mode you can just turn on the Gradual Healing parameter
Because that negates Acute Senses
formal vigil
Only clay
mellow linden
No point gridding your Courtney since she’s 1/5
lean lion
So she's there for Ground zone and some extra damage?
formal vigil
Yes
lean lion
Okay got it
lean lion
I'll run NC Rosa with Bea for the rebuff, should I bring another damage dealer or another supp to not waster Bea's turns maxing atk?
Not a problem I have the power ups
mellow linden
If you can bring an Attack buffer to save Bea some time on self-buffs that would be good
lean lion
Maylene?
formal vigil
Yeah she works
mellow linden
She’s an option, as would Hilbert, Sonia, Aaron, or Hop
formal vigil
Even debuffs defence for bea and accuracy buffs
lean lion
I might need Aaron and Hop for other teams. Wait I'll make my teams and share them.
lean lion
What do you think?
formal vigil
Maybe run another electric damage dealer I staed of skyla
mellow linden
SS Blue and Skyla on the same team is redundant, you’d be better off rolling with a 2nd Electric damage-dealer + appropriate Support (so one that handles that 2nd damage-dealer’s needs) on a team for SST Red.
Otherwise it looks fine
lean lion
Both damage dealers would be weak to almost all of Bertha's attacks
mellow linden
That’s not necessarily a problem
lean lion
I think Red can do enough by himself to pre-sync, just needs to be kept alive
formal vigil
Someone with flinch might be good too or sleep
lean lion
But wait ill see what else I can do
Sophocles Togedemaru?
Maxes his own atk, will get +2 crit from Blue and can flinch
I also have 1/5 Volkner but his flinch chance is lower
mellow linden
Neither of those pairs are really damage-dealers
lean lion
Only other option is Hau Raichu but sides have wise entry. Go with him anyway?
I guess Red will take care of sides anyway

If those are all your options I guess it doesn’t matter all that much
