Champion Stadium

[fringe valve]

Off typed it, but i didn't read and saved wilkstrom for round 4 💀 (not sure if that was optimal)

[swift swan]

well if you've got strong fighting types it should be fine

[fringe valve]

I usually do off type for fun

[onyx ice]

Shouldn't be that much harder depending on team comp

2.5k is basically free parameters, then you have to squeeze 500 points based on your team

But still, siebold hits AOE and hard

[north crown]

Eh, seems chessable with Lana's Water Guard.

[old orchid]

Except when she doesn't contribute much to stall team

[left storm]

Ssleaf easily stalls siebold tbfh

Especially if it's on reduced stats round

[undone ether]

hrm, geeta gaming lets go 😮

[nocturne pawn]

i fucking hate fighting weak wikstrom holy shit

[keen jasper]

Ghost-weak Wikstrom is still the worst of the worst

[nocturne pawn]

ghost weak wikstrom isnt able to one shot aaron from full

and before you say replace zone i barely have ppl who can do that

[undone ether]

what team against Wikstorm?

[nocturne pawn]

im actually so fucking tired of using bea

cant take hits for shit takes forever to actually set up and barely does enough

[old orchid]

His sync is special, right?

[nocturne pawn]

its not even surviving sync

bea is actually so frail that one earthquake puts her at 20%

with zone replaced btw

if it wasnt replaced she just dies

[old orchid]

Remove some offensive params then

Bring Darach to remove zone + free 150 pts

[nocturne pawn]

i already took off attack up 5

i might have to check stats cuz i dont remember struggling this hard

[old orchid]

Try with Darach first then

Free 150 pts is something

[nocturne pawn]

wait thats actually 5head

he has +4 speed too

damn im stupid

[undone ether]

hmm for my fight, i used Aura Cynthia + NC Rosa on Wikstorm, instant clear the Steel Zone. I used bruno, but he died; those earthquakes hurt. Managed to clear with 8 Sync Buffs.

[nocturne pawn]

NEVER MIND SHE GETS FUCKING CRIT BY THE FIRST EQ

FUCK YOU

[left storm]

What's the problem taiyo

Did you leave wikstrom for half sync?

[main crow]

Almost forgot to prepare a team for tomorrow

[nocturne pawn]

bea just fucking folds to earthquake

[left storm]

With which team

And which param

And what round

[undone ether]

Tbh i put him in r1 .-.

[nocturne pawn]

yeah im trying

but wow this shit is annoying

also trying darach bea aaron/hilbert

[left storm]

Mhhhh

Hilbert sounds squishy

Darach already gives team wide +4 speed anyway

[nocturne pawn]

well the problem is bea is dying not hilbert

[old orchid]

Try a defensive support instead

[left storm]

She shouldn't die with Aaron buffing her

Hilbert only gives +2 with TM shielded

Aaron gives +2 with first buff then more

Plus he can heal her

[versed meteor]

The tank is 3/4 for dunking on kalos

[sharp plaza]

odd question but i can't seem to quad queue against malva

the side mon is queuing its move even before the sync move animation starts

i'm setting rain on turn 2 and there's no allied effect triggering

[mellow linden]

What round is it and what team are you using?

[sharp plaza]

round 1

okay i think it's the special damage reduction

i just realised it as i typed it out

[mellow linden]

Yeah, it's the Light Screen running out for sure

[sharp plaza]

@grand trout stupid ass lobster

(took me another 30 minutes to beat her)

[nocturne pawn]

burn is unironically very unfortunate

[grand trout]

You finished her with the nuke tho right

[zealous karma]

Is that LMay? I know it’s LDawn

[swift swan]

i sure hope that's regular may because fighting malva without changing the weather is suicide

[keen jasper]

Damn, Rei did 126k on his B Move with 6 stacks of PMUN with 4 sync buffs but without fighting rebuff

[keen silo]

3k fighting pre sync 👀
also anni steven and sc rosa are fantastic together

[undone ether]

SC Rosa? o.o

oh NC Rosa

[keen silo]

😆

Been mistyping the whole day ;sob:

😭

But really now that I just realized this might actually candy anni steven soon... Don't have much good options for physical flying at 3k level

[swift swan]

lodge skyla:

[keen silo]

not unlocked

[undone ether]

i used Lodge Serena for Diantha (Flying) 😮

[swift swan]

updated

[keen jasper]

Well, time for boring CS

[paper summit]

3 lame round params

[rose ermine]

Overkill much?

[old orchid]

yes, ofc

[fast ruin]

First unova week for meeee

[grand harbor]

So any tips for unova?
First timr trying it

[old orchid]

it's overall an easy region

as always, be careful to each stage's gimmicks

[grand harbor]

I am gonna try 2500 this week

Hope i can survive

Need champ essence 😅

[old orchid]

have you unlocked Unova's master mode before?

[sharp plaza]

yes she got blasted into the stratosphere

[sharp plaza]

it was regular may lmao

[grand harbor]

O wait i didn't yet :/

[sharp plaza]

aint no way

i have to unlock unova's master mode

and i'm guessing every region except last month's when they come around

[trail smelt]

Unova annihilated as expected

Ready for next week

[fringe valve]

Bullied off type 15k

[swift swan]

yes

[keen jasper]

Do higher points

[grand harbor]

:/ did 15 out of 18 medals have to wait for next week to be able to play MM

[trail smelt]

No rewards no challenging myself

[grand trout]

Huehue i made Ethan work

[sick inlet]

Oh we back to unova

Sadge

[brave halo]

OK idk what params I need for this cause that sync from her allows her to one shot after and it's getting frustrating

[sick inlet]

Nuke with Bertha

Also you have defense up + max hp 8

You making her bulky

[keen jasper]

Ground-weak Shauntal is definitely made to showcase Rika

[undone ether]

yeaah i used her as a tank.

with Garchomp as the damage dealer. with SC Lyra for Ground Rebuff.

[brave halo]

I got so lucky

I even synced with everyone at least once

[mellow linden]

Rika wasn’t even out when Ground weak Shauntal released

[mellow linden]

So Cynthia is one of the few Sync Pairs who really needs 3/5 to truly shine

You’ll probably have an easier time with Bertha + Courtney while you wait for Cynthia’s 3/5

[sick inlet]

[mellow linden]

That being said, if you really wanna make her work you probably can, but you might need Courtney anyway for Ground Zone

[brave halo]

Well I got it already thankfully, only cause I synced with bertha first after lodge cynthia

[keen jasper]

That's not what I meant

[fading cradle]

so im looking at shauntal and my ground roster is a bit…ha

not sure if i have to off type her or not

[old orchid]

Is this hard or master mode?

[fading cradle]

hard

[old orchid]

Bertha and Courtney are excellent nukers

Go for one of them then, and bring 3 unfilled types

[fading cradle]

🫡

[mellow linden]

My bad for misinterpreting then

[silver dirge]

I'm not quite sure what else it could have meant tbf

[lunar meadow]

Cleared 3850 points super easy 🥰
I love Clod

[left storm]

Yooo can ground finally offtype 4k?

On something that's not 17k base hp

[lunar meadow]

I mean... I was doing it on-type

I don't think I've tried to go much over the 3850-4k range

[fading cradle]

yep, that did the trick, her with aaron and riley goes brrrrrr

now as for caitlin, these are my only dark type rosters, not sure how to work with them bc i never really used dark type rosters

[old orchid]

Sidney may work, or you can bring Nanu or Piers with a strong offtype dmg dealer

[sturdy monolith]

What are next weeks types

[undone ether]

check the pins o/

[fading cradle]

managed to make it work out with both of them + sc irida, just beat the champion too 💪 ez yoloing

[old orchid]

Good job

[keen jasper]

What I'm trying to say is that Rika is made for ground-weak Shauntal because of her type and the type she supports and people who pulled for her (mainly beginners) will have an easier time to handle Shauntal at very high points.

Like how I mentioned before that this week is made for this unit/s

[silver dirge]

Well units aren't made for specific CS stages, it's the other way around when a stage debuts that a certain unit may counter part of its gimmicks. Obviously Rika will help ground teams which will be a great benefit on ground weak content

[keen jasper]

Usually, the unit's initial debut will have a week in CS that is attuned to their type, like Rika for Shauntal

I think this is what I'm trying to say

Same goes V. Guzma and V. Plumeria. They are released on the 2nd week of this month's CS and the 2nd week of the CS has weaknesses attuned to their respective typings

[sturdy monolith]

That’s really good damage

[silver dirge]

That much is fair yes, they often do align with typings like that

[civic crater]

Unova is pretty fun. I’m not being forced to rely on OP units to 3k

Not that I’m using like bottom of the barrel stuff either tbf lol

[left storm]

#1209457129979641886 message

Gonna check later how much easier this is with godcerola

But at the same time trading away a master passive is probably also huge uh...

[noble plaza]

Any recommended order for this CS?

[mellow linden]

None of the round parameters are that impactful outside of the round 1 and 4 parameters messing with quadqueue, so order doesn’t really matter

[full mesa]

Also it's Unova. Basic team building skills are all you need.

[rose ermine]

Next week's beatdown is gonna be fun

[undone ether]

I dont remember if grimsley has some kind of Entryx2 or not... Im going to enjoy running ss hilbert, holi viola and nc blue against him kuku

[rose ermine]

It doesn't matter what entry he has

[north crown]

^, max buffs + debuffs + giant DPS and nuke on any ontype stage would be wiped regardless.

[rose ermine]

Either hilbert's 100k nuke will brute force that or barry will blast him first

[old orchid]

Grimsley has no entry x2 gimmick

Just Team Lucky Entry 1

[undone ether]

Never have to use Burgh ever again o/

[north crown]

eh... I wouldn't say that; he's a really solid self sufficient DPS himself + can use as secondary

[keen jasper]

Burgh is still very strong

[undone ether]

yep

[keen jasper]

I use him for bug-weak Siebold

[undone ether]

i did too

[keen jasper]

In 4k pts.

[undone ether]

D:

[rotund maple]

Any E4 of special note that I should be careful about in the Unova lineup, or otherwise would have to pay attention to not use up certain types of pairs such as sleep/poison/paralysis/confusion etc?

Just to make sure a repeat of getting stuck with siebold and having to suffer through a 10% paralysis chance because I've used up all the decent paralysis pairs doesn't happen again

😂

[mellow linden]

Unova CS has basically zero gimmicks. With the exception of 2 outliers (Poison weak Marshal has an effective Sentry Entry x1.5 and Dark weak Caitlin has an effective Wise Entry x1.5) the gimmicks that do exist are pretty much just “haha I debuff this stat a couple stages on entry” or “haha I inflict this status right before I Sync”

[rotund maple]

❤️❤️❤️ ooo sweet, ty

[full mesa]

You're new. Here is how it goes.
•Kanto/Johto -> Just bring a support with an on type attacker. They are baby difficulty.
•Unova/Alola -> Not gonna lie. You'll need basic team building skills. Some stages, as mentioned above, have some hard gimmicks. That's all tho. You can clear everything even with f2p roster.
•Sinnoh -> It's hard. Not impossible but you'll need to understand the basic mechanics and how to build teams around the opponents gimmicks. Also, on type is recommended.
•Hoenn/Kalos -> Just broken. Not hard, tedious. The stages will either have too much bulk and damage combined or they'll have ridiculous gimmicks restricting a lot of options. F2P is possible but you need good teams and custom parameters for each stage (not recommended it. Use your limited units too).

[keen jasper]

Johto and Alola has 1 or 2 annoying fights

Bug-weak Hau and fire-weak Koga

[full mesa]

1 fight. That's why I'm putting Johto alongside Kanto.

Also the annoying with Koga in that fight is the crit shield after sync. Just presync or be bulky enough to outlast.

[old orchid]

No the crit shield is right before sync

[rigid arrow]

Ok so I've come back to the game after a looong time, and I'm trying 2.5k but I have no idea why I don't deal DMG to Caitlin, these are all my dark types

I could always resort to using red and Pikachu

[mellow linden]

Do you have Nessa?

[rigid arrow]

3/5 not ex but yes

[mellow linden]

That’s fine. Replace Fall Caitlin with Nessa, tank with Hop and Sync with Masked Royal (make sure MR is gridded for Sync nuke)

Hop + Masked Royal + Nessa is effectively the “ol’ reliable” for 2.5k Dark weak stages

[rigid arrow]

What does nessa do this scenario? Restrain and drop speed?

[mellow linden]

Spam Jaw Lock

She’s acting as your source of regular move damage while Masked Royal debuffs the opponents with Brutal Swing and Sync nukes

[rigid arrow]

Ok got it, I'll try it in a sec

Tyvm! :)

This was way too easy lmao, ty again

[onyx ice]

Jaw lock is a 4 gauge move in disguise

It has the same bp as thousand waves but single target and 3 gauges

[north crown]

waitaminute it's the same BP as TW? holy fucking shit.

I knew it was good but this??!!?!?

[cinder summit]

<:CATEGORY_PHYSICAL:967450751980949625> <:TYPE_DARK:967452395858710598> Jaw Lock

Gauge: 3 | Power: 140 | Accuracy: 100 | Uses: -
Target: An opponent
Effect Tag: -
Applies the Restrain effect to the target and the user.

Sync Pairs with Move:

Nessa & Drednaw

[nocturne pawn]

what the fuck

oh its cuz of the restrain effect

technically its a debuff but it literally only works to your benefit

since her kit is centered around it too

[coral sparrow]

hello can someone help me

[north crown]

dd you try planning out teams for each one?

[coral sparrow]

im trying just 1 right now

[north crown]

[coral sparrow]

ss hau ss hilbert and torchic on caitlin

[north crown]

actualyl nvm that's not very good for a first timer

the pins is geared more towards Master Mode

anyways, have you seen the type medal yet?

[coral sparrow]

yes

i need to get different types

[coral sparrow]

right now im trying this

but they dont do enough damage 😦

[north crown]

Can I assume this is round 1?

[coral sparrow]

yes

first battle

[north crown]

lol the parameter doesn't help you at all

try to utilize/abuse that to help u win

[coral sparrow]

should i use nanu and persian? dark type so i get extra effective damage

maybe i will try nanu persian and torchic and sycamore cuz he is a good tank

[north crown]

I think we're better of planning all 5 teams, regardless of whether we take parameters into account.

[coral sparrow]

i just want to beat one battle first

[north crown]

no max crit be like:

[north crown]

Problem: you can't reset once you slot in a win

[coral sparrow]

it will reset next week

[north crown]

types won't get locked in until you beat the entire week's rotation

therefore, you shoulud try and aim to beat it regardless

[coral sparrow]

should i do nanu and sycamore and hop?

[north crown]

no; you're wasting too many OP supports on a single stage

[coral sparrow]

ok

[north crown]

I doubt you have the resources to back up 4 more teams of that caliber

speaking of, have you posted your roster somewhere?

[coral sparrow]

no

[north crown]

mind doing so?

[coral sparrow]

i should do nanu and sycamore and obstagoon?

2 dark type

[north crown]

overlapping type for medals; 1 less of a type if you really want to maximize

[coral sparrow]

so what should i do

[north crown]

The quickest way I can think of expediting the process is either:

1. share so I can help with teambuilding
2. through teambuilding 101 yourself, with me and other helpers guiding...? (DPS unit->supports->extras)

You should really try to get a grasp of teambuilding, especially for multiple teams, as it's necessary for almost all content.

[coral sparrow]

i read the guide

[north crown]

mind going through the steps 5 times then? (1 for each CS stage)

[coral sparrow]

which steps

[north crown]

no offense, but I'm starting to think you haven't read teambuilding 101

want me to bring it up here?

[coral sparrow]

i did read it

[north crown]

iirc, it's a step by step process of building a team. Mind starting out? I can't really know what you have apart from assumptions.

[coral sparrow]

i cant take pictures from my ipad 😦

[north crown]

That's alright. Could you pick some damage dealers at least?

also just to make sure my assumptions are more accurate: when did you start?

[coral sparrow]

a while ago but i played sometimes and didnt play other times

[north crown]

on and off then... what's the oldest banner and/or event you remember?

[coral sparrow]

idk

[north crown]

Either way, I can't ask every single question in the world to find out the entirety your roster unless I take ages

[coral sparrow]

my oldest limited unit is chase

[north crown]

aight that'll work for now

[coral sparrow]

then i didnt play for a long time

[north crown]

do you remember what the 1st ste to teambuilding101 is?

[mellow linden]

+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

[mellow linden]

I’d recommend filling that out when you have time

[north crown]

you're telling this person to do the tracker now?

[coral sparrow]

making a team

[mellow linden]

Just when they have time

Because it’ll make future help much easier

[north crown]

I mean, you aren't wrong

[mellow linden]

Step 1 of teambuilding is to pick a damage-dealer

[north crown]

lmao

[coral sparrow]

i did

nanu for dark type

[north crown]

@mellow linden mind reading from my recent/above reply and read from there?

[coral sparrow]

to beat caitlin

[north crown]

just want to let you know it may take a while for them to get the gist

[mellow linden]

Nanu isn’t really a great damage-dealer pick since his damage output is very low

His main value is from utility

[coral sparrow]

i tried ss hilbert ss hau but they didnt work

[north crown]

offtyping be like:

[coral sparrow]

??

[mellow linden]

Well the stage isn’t weak to Electric, so that makes sense that SS Hau + SS Hilbert is less effective

[coral sparrow]

i dont have any good dark types 😦

[mellow linden]

What Dark type pairs do you have?

You probably have better options than you think

[north crown]

I was wondering why they made that decision too, but I just ignored it sicne they picked a SE option right after.

[north crown]

[coral sparrow]

nanu and masked royale

[mellow linden]

Masked Royal is a good pick

Do you also have Nessa?

[coral sparrow]

i tried him he didnt work

who is nessa?

[cinder summit]

Nessa & Drednaw

Acquisition:

General Pool
Ticket Scout
Ticket Scout (Galar)

Alternates:

Nessa (Holiday 2021) & Eiscue

[north crown]

[coral sparrow]

i dont have her

how about piers and obstagoon i have them

[north crown]

k - MR will wokr just fine for this

[mellow linden]

Probably still fine, just means we need to think things through differently

[coral sparrow]

i tried already

[mellow linden]

Piers is a Support, his type is irrelevant

[north crown]

what was the team you tried?

[coral sparrow]

masked royale sycamore and viola

[north crown]

no crit:

seroiusly did you not read teambuilding101?

[mellow linden]

That team doesn’t give Masked Royal what he needs

That’s why it failed

[coral sparrow]

i did

[north crown]

you said that 3 times

[coral sparrow]

it said to buff gauge and attack or special attack

sycamore has gauge on his move and he buffs special attack when he syncs

[mellow linden]

Ignore the in-game stage recommendations

[coral sparrow]

no it said in the teambuild guide

[mellow linden]

Which stat to buff depends on the Sync Pair

Masked Royal needs someone to handle his Attack and critical rate buffs, you ideally want to reach +4 to +6 Attack and +3 critical rate by the time you reach your 1st Sync Move

[north crown]

HOLDUP before we continue, sicne this person CLEARLY doesn't know the difference between physical and special attacks:
Did you finish Victory Road?

[coral sparrow]

yes

[north crown]

HOW

[coral sparrow]

i followed the instructions

[north crown]

video tutorial?

[coral sparrow]

yeah

on youtube

[north crown]

aw hell naw

[mellow linden]

Anyway

[mellow linden]

Focus on this

[coral sparrow]

ok

ill look

[mellow linden]

If you have to use multiple Supports to handle his buffs that’ll be fine

[coral sparrow]

mewtwo? it raises critical hit rate in the filter

[mellow linden]

Not a Support

[north crown]

I feel iffy to have them look the in-game filter for this stuff
like it works, but it doesn't show all the options

The in-game filter will work fine for CS Hard Mode tho.

[mellow linden]

Only buffs his own critical rate

[coral sparrow]

ohh piers and obstagoon

[mellow linden]

You need to look for Sync Pairs who buff the entire team’s critical rate

[coral sparrow]

they have dire hit all

[mellow linden]

Yep, that’s one example of a teamwide critical rate buffer

[coral sparrow]

so i can run piers and obstagoon and masked royale and maybe viola for trap damage?

[north crown]

are there any others? just in case we can divert from using the same type twice.

[mellow linden]

Not Viola

You need someone to handle Masked Royal’s Attack buffs too

[coral sparrow]

cant he do that

he has x attack

[mellow linden]

Because Masked Royal himself will spend his 2 buff turns on his Trainer Move to buff his Speed

[north crown]

+4, not maxed

also his buffs are slow yeah that

[mellow linden]

And you don’t want him spending more than 2 turns on his self-buffs

[coral sparrow]

ok

[north crown]

you either have the third unit buff attack, or find 1 unit that covers both atk & crit.

[coral sparrow]

maylene

[north crown]

grid is neede for max crit

[mellow linden]

Yep, she can buff Attack just fine

[coral sparrow]

but obstagoon already max crit

[north crown]

if u are fine with running her solely to buff attack, then this is fine

[coral sparrow]

ok

ill try

is level 50 ok?

[mellow linden]

Level 120

[coral sparrow]

ok

[mellow linden]

If you can’t reach level 120 then try to get as close to it as you possibly can

[coral sparrow]

i can make her 140

[mellow linden]

Level 120

Focus on level 120 for now

[coral sparrow]

wont she be stronger at 140?

[mellow linden]

It’s cheap and all you need here

[coral sparrow]

ooh ok

[north crown]

If you're low on resources, we can attempt to save by planning all 5 teams so we know EXACTLY which units to upgrade/level up. You want to do this, or get one fight over with?

[coral sparrow]

im trying it

[mellow linden]

And one more thing:

Make sure that all 3 of your Sync Pairs are using an action before every opponent action.

[north crown]

(bro didn't even consider the parameter's existence 💀 )

[coral sparrow]

what does that mean

[mellow linden]

None of the round parameters this week are impactful enough to matter rn

[north crown]

u gonna paste the triplequeue copypasta now?

[mellow linden]

If they need more elaboration on triple queue then yes

[coral sparrow]

masked royale doesnt do enough damage

her sync killed me

[north crown]

can u record your footage or no

[coral sparrow]

idk how to

[mellow linden]

Were you following this?

[coral sparrow]

i think so

i click 3 moves really quickly

[north crown]

aight that sounds alright...

[mellow linden]

And whose Sync Move were you using?

[coral sparrow]

piers

[north crown]

ah there it is

[mellow linden]

Use Masked Royal’s

A lot of Masked Royal’s damage comes from his Sync Move

[coral sparrow]

but on videos they say support is good to sync first?

[mellow linden]

Only if EXd

[north crown]

that's only if they have support EX, which you don't have

[mellow linden]

Which I doubt your Piers is

[coral sparrow]

ohh

should i ex him?

[mellow linden]

Not right now

[north crown]

do you even have the resources to 🗿

[mellow linden]

Just Sync with Masked Royal

[coral sparrow]

ok

[north crown]

I see newbies beat hard without support EX every once in a while; I think you're fine without it.

[coral sparrow]

he does more dmg now but still only 25% of caitlins bar

😦

[north crown]

ok there's definitely something wrong

[coral sparrow]

i only have 2 obstruct so i cant survive many moves

[mellow linden]

Don’t bother with Obstruct

[north crown]

there it is

[mellow linden]

Unless you absolutely have to

[coral sparrow]

oh i forgot to click dire hit all

[north crown]

BRO WHAt oml

[mellow linden]

That would explain the low damage

[north crown]

so about the parameter not affecting most gameplay:

[mellow linden]

Maybe take a step back if you’re gonna keep making comments like this

[coral sparrow]

i got rly close

[north crown]

I would really like to build all the teams tho...

[coral sparrow]

but then the last side killed me

[north crown]

before we jumped in

[coral sparrow]

when should i click on the sync?

immediately when it flashes or i wait?

[mellow linden]

Give me a second to type out an answer to that, it takes a little bit to explain it fully

[north crown]

Y/N Question for CSteel: You gonna explain quadqueueing or not? I assume the latter.

[mellow linden]

So when your team is using its last 3 moves before your Sync Move becomes available, wait to queue more moves until your Sync is ready.

Then queue Sync followed by your other allies’ moves

That way you get your next Sync Move faster

It also allows for a more complex technique called quadqueue, but that’s not something you’ll need to worry about in this fight

[north crown]

quick mention, got it.

[coral sparrow]

got it 👍

[north crown]

I'll probably add that to my arsenal of helping newer players

[coral sparrow]

I BEAT HERRRR

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[north crown]

type update: dark & fighting, right?

[silver dirge]

Let's not bypass the word filter like that

[mellow linden]

That’s what’s been done so far, yes

[coral sparrow]

ok sorry

i need a break now

thanks for ur helping cobalt steel

[north crown]

FYI for when Citadel comes back: We got Chase wildcard for real trouble.

[coral sparrow]

u deserve the helper role u r very patient with me

[mellow linden]

Just remember the principles we went over here today (and obviously adjust things as needed such as swapping Attack buffs for Sp. Atk. buffs if your damage-dealer uses special moves) and sooner or later you’ll be blasting through Champion Stadium on a weekly basis like it’s nothing

[coral sparrow]

okk 👍

[vocal perch]

i don't know for Grimsley if i should use SS Lysandre or SS Hilda then paired with SS May

[mellow linden]

SS Lysandre's Fire damage is not very impressive

SS Hilda's V-Create, on the other hand, is phenomenal

[vocal perch]

SS Hilda damage just seem inconsistent whenever i use it which i think its just from Critical Strike 2 doing its thing rather than me

[mellow linden]

SS Hilda should always be critting unless you’re not clicking her Trainer Move for some reason

Or if the opponent has crit immunity for some reason

[vocal perch]

Yeah i always use "For the win" so as the battle starts

[mellow linden]

Then she should always be critting V-Create, and CS2 isn’t RNG

[vocal perch]

it probably is critting just the damage output is a bit rough depending on what you're facing against

[mellow linden]

That’s probably more team-related or you’re trying to off-type Sentry Entry x2 stages or something

[fiery canopy]

who r some good supports for ss red

grimsley is being annoying

[grand trout]

What are your available supports?

[fiery canopy]

a good amount
lemme seeee...ss mina, ss acerola, grusha, sonia, aaron, penny, jasmine, lyra, sycamore, roxanne, evelyn, and some other probably less relevant ones

[grand trout]

The one thing i can think of is chase tbh

[grand trout]

I'd say ss mina can be good for her, bring a sun setter tho as red likes sun more than mina's rain

[mellow linden]

Depends on the Move Level as well as whether or not you're gridding Haymaker on him

[fiery canopy]

hes level 2 rn (but i do have a couple candies i can use if needed) and ya hes got haymaker

actually im gonna try out ss acerola and see how that goes brb

[mellow linden]

Yeah, SS Acerola’s a good pick if he’s got Haymaker

Especially if you have a 2nd Fire damage-dealer you can run in addition to Red

[fiery canopy]

that worked perfectly actually woohoo
i just ran evelyn along with her

[light oak]

First time in a while I’ve used mewtwo for cs. Was quite fun

[hidden monolith]

Kinda simple, I just need a bit of extra damage

Maybe because of that phys dmg reduction, that's the main problem with mixed teams

[silver dirge]

That do be a lot of HP there

[hidden monolith]

I'm like 5% short

Her sync hits hard

[silver dirge]

Consider some more Attack in lieu of HP

[hidden monolith]

Nothing's possible unfortunately

[silver dirge]

Also Max CD 1, try drop that. Would give you an extra turn to get damage in

[hidden monolith]

Just the Atk Spatk ^5

For what tho

[silver dirge]

Strike Damage x3

[hidden monolith]

Oh shoot

I'm stupid

[silver dirge]

[hidden monolith]

I'm not too good with the timing of ET tho

What should be the rotation

I think she doesn't benefit from ET with her sync, but her B Move does

[silver dirge]

Are you queuing around the max moves correctly?

Her BMove doubles BP yeah

[hidden monolith]

No, I'm not too familiar with it

Sorry for ping

[left storm]

Opp Sync cd -1 is easily one of the biggest noob traps

It's absurd

[silver dirge]

Np

[hidden monolith]

I usually kill them before, I rarely run off type that is not NC Red/SS Gladion

[left storm]

50 PTS for having to denial to sync twice is too much of a hassle, at least -2 gives 200

50 is too little

[silver dirge]

Basically you want to quadqueue right after your max move, it's easiest if you do Oleana's max turn 0

And then spam click TM

[hidden monolith]

So better to poison rather than paralyze them?

I thought I shouldn't have done that, but that's what Oleana's kit is based on

[left storm]

What units are you running

[old orchid]

Chase, Oleana and Roxie

you can open with Oleana's max move as the first action, then insta queue to preserve triple queue

oh wait Chase is there, no need to care about insta queue because he makes up for it with sync cd, but it's still better to do that

[left storm]

Yeah, or you could run half hp

And just win

[onyx ice]

If your damage output is good enough, in most stages it can be an advantage for hyper offense, since most stages have a scripted tm at -1 you can avoid a turn of damage as long as you can ko the center before sync

For hyper offense the difference between having to tank 2 vs 3 attacks can be game changer

Unless the scripted move is something that you don't want to deal with, like crit shield or hyper beam, getting the extra sync reduction may be beneficial if your DPS is good enough

[left storm]

I mean that for 50 points I'd rather grab Def +1

Because with -1 you need to run sync cd or denial to double sync

Which is often what you need to beat 3k

[onyx ice]

I meant that for hyper offense it can be considered beneficial (but I'm talking about clearing the stage 1st sync) because 95% of the times it means that you have to tank 1 less damaging move, regardless of the 50 points, but ofc don't pick it if you are planning to do 2nd sync clear unless you are using sprint ex or sync countdown

If you can win 1st sync, even if you pick -1 and -2 you can still presync

For me is a staple for hyper offense

[coral sparrow]

help me ground weakness elite 4 pls

[fading cradle]

honestly can’t help you that much, but do you have courtney or bertha?

[coral sparrow]

no

i dont hav any good ground pairs

[fading cradle]

hmmm alright this might have to be an off typing case if you don’t have good ground rosters, i’ll let someone eventually come in here to help you out

[coral sparrow]

im trying to use mewtwo zamazenta and lusamine

[fading cradle]

i don’t think hop and zamazenta are the best tank to use in this case, iirc, shauntal uses a chandelure and hop’s weak to fire

[coral sparrow]

@rotund lagoon pls help

[frail cape]

yes that team has very little synergy

[coral sparrow]

who should i put

[frail cape]

can you post your remaining 5* units on the move level page?

also how many points are you attempting or is this hard mode

[coral sparrow]

hard mode

should i take photos of my ipad with my phone?

[vocal perch]

@coral sparrow what is like your roster? like who do you have

[coral sparrow]

yesterday cobalt steel gave me a link to put my units but i lost it

😦

[vocal perch]

+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

[coral sparrow]

oooh

ill put my units there and ask later

thanks

👍

[eternal lodge]

Since you got both Mewtwo and LuSSamine to offtype id suggest to just bring musharna necrozma girafarig if you got them, that should be overkill for any stage

[steel kelp]

It’s more likely the gen pool lusamine

Not the mf

[frail cape]

yes

[eternal lodge]

A

Then Mewtwo musharna and alakazam should do the trick

[coral sparrow]

i dont hav

musharna

[eternal lodge]

Well, then that removes my suggestion of any f2p psychic type

[fading cradle]

wait shouldn’t the psychic units be saved for marshal anyways

he’s the one weak to psychic i think

[coral sparrow]

idk

[eternal lodge]

Considering how good psychic type roster is i dont think It would be a problem

[mellow linden]

Yeah, better to save Giovanni + Mewtwo for Marshal rn

[eternal lodge]

But if LuSSa IS actually Lusa light be better not to

[coral sparrow]

how do i beat ground weakness then

[mellow linden]

Would depend a lot on your roster

[vocal perch]

well we don't know your current sync pairs so we can't really help you out much

[fading cradle]

they said they have no ground rosters

[eternal lodge]

What ground types do you have

[fading cradle]

it looks like this is an off type case

[eternal lodge]

A

[fading cradle]

ive never used clay or hapu before so idk how they work

[mellow linden]

For now I think it'll be easiest if you take some time to fill out the tracker so we can see your roster

[silver dirge]

We're shooting in the dark a little bit here, it's going to be much easier if you fill out the tracker

[eternal lodge]

Have you pulled any banner unit and if so which?

[coral sparrow]

too much clicking is there a command to auto import my unit?

[mellow linden]

Nope

[coral sparrow]

i dont remember but i have chase

and selene

the new one

[mellow linden]

It's a community tool, so no way to make it connect to the game

[coral sparrow]

ok ill do it later maybe

[mellow linden]

I highly recommend just filling out the tracker as soon as you can. I know it'll take a little bit, but in the long run it'll save you so much time because we won't have to guess who you may have out of hundreds of Sync Pairs

[steel kelp]

Most gacha games don’t have sites such as trackers or info on units that’s community side

[eternal lodge]

Might be just easier to go for a kyurem nuke or stall

[eternal shale]

Just tap on optimize

[mellow linden]

No

The optimize button is hot garbage

[eternal shale]

I always tap optimize on CS mode tho

If it fails then I chnge

[mellow linden]

The optimize button does not use good metrics for putting together teams

Plus it's far better to help foster teambuilding skills now on easier stuff like CS Hard Mode so they can start being able to put together strong teams on their own when they reach harder content

[eternal shale]

Yeah it will help in long run

To build good teams

[mellow linden]

It'll help in the short run too because they won't be gambling on Optimize accidentally creating a team that might actually do something

[eternal shale]

I was curious wat team citadel will get if he taps optimize

[eternal lodge]

Peak optimization (at least it got dark weak right)

[dusty crater]

Please don't ever recommend optimize as a valid use for team building even as a joke to players trying to complete battles.

[north crown]

I'd go so far as to AVOID OPTIMIZE, as it's one of the worst things you can do.

the dark weak one only works cuz it's literally a no brainer meta dark team.

[north crown]

afaik/afair for F2P/new rosters, comps that'll only cause self harm.

Now watch as I backtrack and reply to past messages due to boredom

Wow… not much happened

Honestly, I’d assume a lot more people come here due to a potential flood of new players in 4.5 Anni

[blazing peak]

Looking at c nate...

What do you wanna use for him ?

Having a hard time guessing what he wants

Penny for rebuff...
Something about accuracy

[mellow linden]

It’s gonna depend on your roster

[steel kelp]

Fairy cs is just offtype cs

[rich needle]

What’s he designed for?

[blazing peak]

that is not really what j meant

[blazing peak]

That's what i meant

What does Dena WANTS you to use

[mellow linden]

That I have no clue

I assume Penny + someone who doesn't care about accuracy or can lower evasion

[rich needle]

Does a fairy unit have piercing

Oh gladion right?

No wait he doesn’t have

[mellow linden]

I’d say Katherine, but I’d be surprised if DeNA designed the stage for a freebie

[old orchid]

It's indeed designed for Penny, as Fairy rebuff + B Move snatching buffs

[mellow linden]

Ah, right, B Move

[nocturne pawn]

disarming voice is sure hit and penny has rebuff and stat leech

[grand trout]

I think Nate is an ss wally stage

Idk

[old orchid]

SS Wally is also a good counter, but he can't debuff evasion so it's still an issue for teammates

[steel kelp]

Not if they have piercing gaze or a move that doesn’t miss

[nocturne pawn]

its definitely for penny

ss wally happens to encompass some of the same gimmicks

but not at the timing that penmy does

[sharp willow]

Its also an issue for landing his b move

[old orchid]

cake him then

oh wait i misunderstood your comment

[eternal lodge]

still cake him B)

[nocturne geyser]

Elaine so disgusting la

[undone ether]

Flinch Works 😮

[nocturne geyser]

Hopefully a marnie rerun comes, i need dark and also a ghost type NC unit. My Ghost is legit nothing. Ghost WeakStrom just laughs at me at how bulky he is.

[old orchid]

Accessible Ghost types are good enough, i can beat Wikstrom's ass with an EX support, Shauntal and Brycen

[nocturne geyser]

SC Brycen? Dont have one

Wait isn't that dark type, which brycen you talking about.

[sharp willow]

Probably base Brycen

Since he has the ability to remove stat buffs through Haze

[nocturne geyser]

Oh the one with haze

[undone ether]

2 more resets huh. I should EX SC Diantha next.

[old orchid]

If you have Event Victor, he is the better slot

Haze + ghost zone + TM buffing spatk and crit on an ally

[main crow]

Irida week next

[eternal lodge]

Imagine having hisuian zoroark (havent changed the title of each team)

[blazing peak]

i think it IS ss gladio'

SS gladion's passive returns debuffs to the opponent

[nocturne pawn]

its penny wof

penny has rebuff leeches the evasion and has debuff to disable good form

[blazing lake]

Y’all thought Penny was cool?

Wait until they introduce Nickel and Dime in gen 10

[nocturne pawn]

we already got coin so thats not even that much of a stretch

[hard notch]

Nickel, dime, quarter, dollar

Also known as

a buck

[undone ether]

Aight. Ready for tomorrow. Hopefully ex for sc diantha should be good hehe

[full mesa]

SSRCynnthia will do ghost stage. New exr. Apart from that... I'll build teams tomorrow morning.

Might also add Emma for new exr on poison weak.

[devout sluice]

Set for tomorrow.

[grand trout]

Oh is it ghost tomorrow

[fading cradle]

anyone know how i can find the stage weaknesses for tomorrow?

[silver dirge]

Pins!

You can also go to PoMatools->Champion Stadium but the pins are probably closer

[fading cradle]

thanks! just checked the pins 🫡

[mellow linden]

There’s also a link to the Pomatools CS section in the pins, in case you wanna check out the stage gimmicks (or rather, the stage half-gimmicks in this case)

[grand trout]

I should maybe use noland for grims

Reliance on sync + sync fucking up fc is challenging though

[mellow linden]

Which Noland are we talking here?

[grand trout]

Base

Voland would make the stage too easy

[mellow linden]

Just dual damage-dealer with Bugsy or a 3/5 Guzma

Spam Fury Cutter with Noland and Sync nuke with Bugsy/Guzma

[grand trout]

WAIT

I just exed ss hilbert

Maybe i should play with him instead

[grand trout]

but i want him to sync for the mega lol

[mellow linden]

Could run Lusamine or something for regular move damage then and Sync nuke with Noland

[fading cradle]

are y’all coming up with a team for bug weak grimsley

[swift swan]

i want to try out powerboosted guzma

if i'm not lazy

[grand trout]

Already used him for kalos cs

I'll use ss hilbert instead for his cs debut

[mellow linden]

Just trying to help them figure out how to fit Noland into their team

[fading cradle]

i see

the tools is taking a while to load on my end, i never used a bug team in cs before so i kinda wanted to try and build one

here’s my bug rosters

[mellow linden]

SC Barry just kinda wins, tbh

[grand trout]

You have aaron!

[mellow linden]

At worst maybe bring Bugsy + Beedrill along with a Sync nuke grid to handle 2nd Sync onwards (Barry does 1st Sync) if Barry’s regular move output isn’t quite enough

[grand trout]

He's very good support

[fading cradle]

oh definitely, aaron lowkey kinda broken

[mellow linden]

Yeah, Aaron’s a good Attack + crit Support and can be used on pretty much any team that needs those buffs

He’s even 2/5 for access to his MP Refresh

[fading cradle]

who can i bring as a third sync pair?

[grand trout]

If you make buscythsr max, he can be a leer machine which barry appreciates

That's assuming you want all 3 to be bugs though

If you're open to any other type you have better options

[mellow linden]

If you’re doing SC Barry + Bugsy then an Attack + crit Support, if you’re doing SC Barry + Aaron then it doesn’t matter too much (and if it’s Hard Mode you should try and fill out type medal)

[fading cradle]

that’s fine, ive been wanting to explore more sync pairs anyways

i still have like 7 pieces left on my metal ☠️

[grand trout]

Which are?

[mellow linden]

7 types left is pretty easy, actually

[grand trout]

Let us know so we can incorporate them into teambuilding

[mellow linden]

Especially for Unova

[grand trout]

Do you have yamper

[fading cradle]

yes

[grand trout]

Yamper and barry then

Electric is filled

[mellow linden]

Poison is automatically done by facing Marshal, so that’s good

For Normal, if you have Gladion + Silvally you can use him as the main damage-dealer for any of the fights to fill Normal while also doing supereffective damage

[grand trout]

Can we see your fairies

As well as grass and water while you're at it

[mellow linden]

Honestly I think some of the easiest ways to finish type medal is to establish strong duos who are complete without help from a 3rd team member

Then the 3rd can just be type medal filler

[grand trout]

Agreed

[mellow linden]

SS Lysandre can off-type a Hard Mode stage easily, btw, so you can use him + a Rain setter + a Support who fills type medal to get Water + another type

[grand trout]

For fairies, kali or lillie can be a misc 3rd team member

[mellow linden]

Heck, you can even try without Rain to see if you can get 3 types in one go with SS Lysandre

[grand trout]

I think fighting can be done by wally+Shauna+lillie

Or

As cobalt said, if you're using glad in one of them Shauna can give offenses and crit

[fading cradle]

got it 🫡 i’ll see if i can find a way to make things work, thanks!

[strange iron]

Christ Shantaul was stupid hard this week with dauntless and only 1/5 Fall Roxanne who couldn't survive past sync. Had to pull NC Leaf from my fire team 😢

[mellow linden]

What team were you using initially? Fall Roxanne shouldn’t be having many (if any) issues with a solid team backing her

[nocturne pawn]

my question is why did they give the gengars hypnosis

thats so irritating

[tired sleet]

[undone ether]

lol

[steel kelp]

even dena knew acerola was nothing but a shield

[strange iron]

Fall Roxanne + Rika at 1/5 each, no ex role on Rika + 2/5 ss leaf as debuffer. Ground zone didn't last long enough and Roxanne wasn't doing enough damage outside of it 😰

[mellow linden]

Just bring Courtney then

Next time

You don’t even need an extra debuffer, Fall Roxanne handles all the debuffs that team could ever desire

Courtney would bring more Ground Zone and some more damage output

[swift swan]

updated

[old orchid]

not the half sync

[keen jasper]

Finally

[steel kelp]

Half sync

[keen jasper]

Not everyone appreciates that round parameter like me

[fading cradle]

there’s a half sync parameter…

war flashbacks

[steel kelp]

I get to do funny stuff with SS silver and SS n

[keen jasper]

Do it in 4k points

[fading cradle]

now that leaves the dreaded question, who should i leave for the half sync parameter 💀

[old orchid]

save half sync for your strongest team

[keen jasper]

I'm gonna use half-sync on Caitlin

Because my ghost roster is ass

[steel kelp]

3k take it or leave it

[fading cradle]

lel

too easy

[nocturne geyser]

Nice, now 3k it

[fading cradle]

i possess no master mode knowledge 🥸

[nocturne geyser]

Time to learn now bwo

Those juicy resources are waiting for you

[fading cradle]

awesome

[steel kelp]

3k is asking a lot for someone who just finished type medal

[old orchid]

yeah it is, but you can try going for 850 pts first

[main crow]

Iris half sync is so fun with Riley around lul

[old orchid]

4.2k is where good rewards stop, and it's also a great first milestone

[trail smelt]

Half sync’d Iris too for good measure LMAO

No respect

Ready for SCelene’s debut next week

[grand trout]

Agatha gaming

[grand harbor]

So this week i will start trying 2500 runs

Any tips?

And who i shouldnt keep for r4 this week i always fall for that 😂

[old orchid]

check the pins for recommended presets and nov's advice on parameter rounds

the most dangerous param this week is R

R3

[grand harbor]

Where is novs advice?

[grand harbor]

Thank you gakon u are a true hero

[undone ether]

Yeeee.

[grand harbor]

Thinking of this team r1 for grimsley

What do u guys think

On type post sync parameters

[old orchid]

you should replace Sidney with a defense debuffer

like Nanu

[grand harbor]

👌 Thank you

[grand harbor]

One down

But used rika (acc down) with nanu

Marshal weak to poison :/ dont have good poison dealers

[swift swan]

roxie or koga work fine

but you can always offtype or poison stall

[grand harbor]

Something is not working does she have healthy advantage?

Palmer tickles her 😂

[swift swan]

not really. what are your parameters?

[grand harbor]

2500 off type preset

[swift swan]

mm. maybe you think palmer doesn't do damage because crush grip has a shit damage scaling

the less HP he has, the less damage he will do

[grand harbor]

Yh but she is at full health

He should do anything

[swift swan]

max HP on top of strength isn't recommended

[swift swan]

i mean palmer himself

[swift swan]

don't be afraid to pick up the attack up and power on hit parameters

[grand harbor]

So i use the last 2 in the 200s? Instead of max hp 8?

[swift swan]

take both power on hit

you can take attack 5, which will make the enemies hit significantly harder, but also significantly less bulky

[proud axle]

??????

[left storm]

If it worked on his own hp

He'd be insane.

He even gets a buddy heal

Man he'd be so broken then

[mellow linden]

Grimsley managed to fight through Paralysis, Confusion, and -1 accuracy just to snipe Penny with an Iron Tail

I still won, but c’mon man

[grand trout]

Lmao

[main crow]

Did it also crit?

[grand trout]

Iron tail is not accurate as well, is it?

[mellow linden]

I don’t actually know if it crit or not

[fading cradle]

that paralysis was gonna be the end of me 💀

[grand trout]

Like in base

[mellow linden]

Because I didn’t pay attention to the sound

[main crow]

85 iirc?

[fading cradle]

every time i tried to use sc barry’s buddy move, paralysis had to stop him each time

[mellow linden]

Iirc 75% accuracy base

[main crow]

Oh worse than I thought lol

[grand trout]

Lmao so Grimsley really said fuck you even with -1 acc

[main crow]

He gambled his way through

[mellow linden]

Grimsley was just shenanigans for me today

[grand trout]

Marshal gave me a lot of trouble this week

[mellow linden]

I still won 1st try, but due to the aforementioned Iron Tail snipe + Lusamine failing to crit center with her Sync the only team member left standing by the end was H. Viola

[grand trout]

He can't stop draining punch my support

And when i finally get to sync, fucking Ariana didn't Crit

[main crow]

My ice team barely made it bc i forgot SS Blue has a reactive passive so no quad for me and he don't have adr1 since he's only 1/5

Might candy him to 2/5 for HSE

[left storm]

He's so good for HSE

Dude just doesn't die

[fading cradle]

wait, not sure if i read it correctly

if i already got the rewards from completing a stage in hard mode, i can’t get those again in master mode until next week(?)

[old orchid]

the completing rewards are first time only

[full mesa]

Yes, but you have to play master mode this week too. MM has another system with points where you get even more rewards.

[grand harbor]

What am i missing with Palmer feel he is useless 😅

[old orchid]

be sure to turn off standard dmg reduction param first

he is always offtype

and be careful of Crush Grip's scaling too

[grand harbor]

Yes i am doing and off type parameter

[old orchid]

sharing his teammates and gameplay of him will help us a lot to figure the problem

[grand harbor]

This is what am going for in this fight

2500 off type

Depending on crits with kris and him

And wall from bellelba

[mellow linden]

Kris really isn’t doing much on that team, tbh

She’s having to spend 4 turns on setup to not even max her Sync nuke

[grand harbor]

🤔 Who would be good replacement?

[mellow linden]

Would depend a bit on your roster and if you’re dead-set on off-typing with Palmer

[old orchid]

Ghetsis would be great here if you didn't use him on Marshal earlier

[mellow linden]

If Palmer’s not a must here you could do off-type with Kris under Rain and a Support who buffs Kris’ Attack/crit/Speed, for example

If Palmer’s a must then you might be able to do a 2nd Normal-type damage-dealer (depending on who you have) and a Support who handles that 2nd damage-dealer’s buffs

Or there may be an entirely different strategy available with the roster you have

[grand harbor]

Have him

[grand harbor]

He is not i just went for physical off type character i hear is OP 😅

[mellow linden]

If you wanna on-type then Ghetsis or a Hala + Candice duo would be good, if you wanna off-type you have SS Lysandre + Rain at your disposal

[fading cradle]

oh? i didn’t know that, might have to try it myself then

[full mesa]

In general, completion rewards are almost always a one time thing. Keep that in mind.

[grand harbor]

Its recommended physical att or ghetsis would be good?

[mellow linden]

The only thing Shauntal does that hurts Sp. Atk. in any way is -1 at the very start of battle. Easily dealt with via a good Support pick

[grand harbor]

And r4 parameter that decrease sp?

[mellow linden]

That just sets Light Screen, which is ignored by critical hits

[grand harbor]

👌

[mellow linden]

And since you always want your damage-dealers to crit, the only real effect it has is messing with quadqueue

[keen jasper]

Also you're going to use double screens by parameters so yeah

[rose ermine]

Should be fine for 12k right

[keen jasper]

Off-typing Grimsley?

[grand harbor]

Falkner
Bellelba
Ghetsis

What do u think?

[mellow linden]

Probably alright, though Bellelba doesn’t contribute a whole lot to the team beyond just being a tank

[grand harbor]

To make them survive i guess 😅

[mellow linden]

Tbh I’m actually doubtful about Falkner’s ability to provide buffs fast enough

So if you wanna run double Support you’re probably better off replacing Bellelba with someone who can help speed up those buffs

Or just replacing Falkner with someone who can give +2 Sp. Atk. and +1 crit (or more) with each Trainer Move use (with an MP Refresh if they need 3 uses to max crit)

[grand harbor]

Lol that was easy 😂

He was enough dire hit first then 2 soars then the last dire

While ghetsis kept glaciating them

So finall round
There is a crit hit def sign in the tip section

I better grt someone with defog or just go on as planned?

Was gonna go with this team but depending on iron tail off type parameters

[mellow linden]

I think on-typing is likely to yield better results

[grand harbor]

Close combat take away his def 😅 but okay let's try it

Then i will remove selene right?

[mellow linden]

Well ideally he’s not getting hit much (if at all)

You can probably keep Selene if you want for her utility aspects (3 guaranteed flinches and constant +1 Defense)

But a Speed buffer would likely be better so Riley gets his Sync maxed faster

[grand harbor]

Ok ll try

[fading cradle]

1,600 points for my first time in csmm 🤡 hopefully i can increase that in the near future

[full mesa]

Did you follow the preset from pins? Or did you try the challenge by yourself?

[grand harbor]

Hehehehe

Finished

[silver dirge]

We all start somewhere dw about it

Slowly increase those points as comfortable and you'll be doing 15k by no time

[grand harbor]

Riley close combated them while ss cyrus was singing lullabies 😂

[grand harbor]

Can i ask you a silly question? 😅

[silver dirge]

go for it

[grand harbor]

I got 12500 and i feel i can go for 15k

If i reset will the end of the week rewards be according to the progress after reset (if i couldn't finish 15k)

Or will it take the higher of them?

[fading cradle]

i did it myself 💩

[mellow linden]

You already got the point rewards

If you go to 15k you’ll get the point rewards that are after 12.5k

[silver dirge]

^^

[grand harbor]

O wait there is no end of the week rewards? For total points?

[full mesa]

First of all congratulations. Second, in pins we have preset option for different milestones. If you follow them along with some basic team building and help from here you can easily score 4.250 points this week. More if you are more dearing.

[grand harbor]

😂 And i was afraid of resets

[mellow linden]

Nope, point rewards are given the instant you reach the point value

[grand harbor]

Okay thanks alot

[fading cradle]

i’ll keep that in mind, thanks!

[full mesa]

You don't even have to complete the challenge. Just reach the value

[grand harbor]

Would u change anything for the 15k run?

[full mesa]

That depends on your roster and parameters. Probably, teams 2,3,5 can easily do 3k per run. Maybe some small twists here and there.

[keen jasper]

There are a lot of factors to determine

[keen jasper]

Such as the team, the parameters using and what round parameter are you at

Who are you going to save for the half sync round?

[grand harbor]

I went for marshal with the fire squad

Syncing with red then blue

[rose ermine]

Yep

[lunar meadow]

New max points I think for me. 19250.
I could have gotten more, but didn't care enough to min/max lol

[north crown]

Fire weak Grimsley:

oh nvm I got the wrong week... mb

I'm still questioning your choice of using a pure fire team on him when SSGio exists

[long thicket]

Uh, I just got my first ever 3k win.

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[lunar meadow]

Yay! Congrats!

That's 3k for one fight, or for the full clear?

[long thicket]

Juste one, the Grimsley one round 1.

[lunar meadow]

Nice, congrats!

[grand harbor]

Thought he needed special dmg

So i dont understand what would be good to increase to get to the 3 k without ruining my chances 😅

Thought there was preset like the other levels

[mellow linden]

The jump from 2.5k to 3k is dependent on too many variables to create a universal preset

[grand harbor]

How do I calculate it help me understand the concept please

I went for strength 8 😅

Max hp 8 i mean

[rich needle]

I mean it depends

I go for alot of strength and alot of hp

So the jump is different

Because you can pick like say gradual healing

And if you oneshot with sync

[grand harbor]

Yes I did that hp 8 for 400 and 100 for str

[rich needle]

Gradual healing doesn’t affect you at all

But if you post sync, gradual healing is awful

It’s not a binary increase in points to strength

Like maybe ur team doesn’t use weather or zone

Rare, but it exists, then you can use that specific condition

[grand harbor]

Yh my team use weather in 1 team only i guess

[rich needle]

And it literally doesn’t make it any harder but gives more points, though most people use zone or weather so in those teams your damage is so severely gimped it’s a horrible condition

Point is, we can’t give you a general oh this is 20% harder

Cuz it just don’t work like that

[grand harbor]

I am just trying to understand how to calculate like what u said no zone then this would be better than others

If u post sync is it wise to use sync countdown?

[rich needle]

Sync countdown in general is dangerous

Even in post sync I would not recommend

Not a presyncer but I believe since they die quickly so long as you accelerate and flinch it can be less bulk

[grand harbor]

🤔 Okay let me try something else

Power on hit?

[rich needle]

That’s amazing for pre sync

Workable for post sync though you’ll need experience post syncing for that, attack debuffs and playing around gimmick

[zealous karma]

I would not take mac hp 8 that makes the opponents really bulky there are some params in pins

[grand harbor]

Trying to make the extra 500 from 2500 on type

[rich needle]

Depends on your strategy opponent etc etc

[hollow swan]

I love the ez sp.def drop aoe

[zealous karma]

You would only ever take that many Hp params in a poison stall

[hollow swan]

Better than p.Dawn lol

But

Optimal partner would be

V thorton for theme skills and whatever

But it doesn't spread aoe so

Funny lion focus blast go brrrr

[rich needle]

Me saying in general

[hollow swan]

I wish we get 4k max

[rich needle]

You’re insane

[hollow swan]

20000 is pretty

[wicked junco]

I appreciate being able to do CS in a single day, thank you very much

[hollow swan]

Cs took like

[rich needle]

Fr

[hollow swan]

Idk

Half an hour tops

[rich needle]

I like endgame content and even that is too much

[hollow swan]

Meanwhile rally

Also that team kinda busts iris in like

Idk less than 2 sync cycles

[zealous karma]

In general would mean that you take Hp 8 params across all params and you never want to do that

[hollow swan]

Solgaleo out here one tapping

Some more points would not change the outcome by that much

[zealous karma]

that doubles the enemies hp not including strength params

[rich needle]

1k points is some more points that’s so wild

The actual strength difference would be insane

[hollow swan]

Imma

Try again with that team

See how fast

It would do

[wicked junco]

1k would mean to almost always take every str/atk+def/Hp parameter

[hollow swan]

Solgaleo destruction again

[wicked junco]

Poison stall wouldn't be possible as well

Or at least definitely not easily accesible

[strange iron]

Late but baby's first 15k

As soon as I get 20 more 5* tickets Bianca's finally getting the ex she deserves

[zealous karma]

very nice be sure to post future clears in #1010274591601598555

[strange iron]

Oh my b

[zealous karma]

dw

[grand harbor]

Tech cake worth it on 1 5 barry sc?

[formal vigil]

No since at 1/5 Barry sync will not be good even with cake

[hollow swan]

@rich needle pretty sure i picked 4k
