Champion Stadium

[left storm]

Speed is great

Defence is fantastic for rally

Normal is good in gauntlet

[karmic zephyr]

okay good to know

[clear breach]

Just wait till he gets his SA Passive

[left storm]

I'd said Rei is definitely higher up in the "basically MF" hierarchy

Anyway, sadly no eri solo because since I don't plan, going round 3 was a self sabotage because of infinite steel zone

I'll try to remember next time

[karmic zephyr]

He's also very strong! I used to use NC Hop for a fighting striker and ever since I got Rei, I only use him

[gleaming jolt]

But some people argue about that in #poma-lounge !

They can counter everything you say about Rei!

And that makes me sick!

[paper summit]

word of advice, just don't take anything said in #poma-lounge seriously

if you expect somewhat objective information on pairs or the game in general then help channels are where you go, not what is essentially a meme channel

[left storm]

Word of advice,

Silence lounge entirely

[fading cradle]

are you sure about that

oak nidorino being psychic weak does not help

[bitter veldt]

I like how my first 15k in CSMM felt like the biggest achievement of tears and now I finish them within 30 minutes top and feel like it's taking a candy from a baby.

[karmic zephyr]

I don't really think that video is showing how helpful Oak can be in this battle. But rather how powerful 5/5 EXR Burgh can be.

Parameters also play a role. I assume the parameters on the video are for post sync, I prefer to use pre sync.

And as a person who really struggled with that fight and tried many things. Lucian didn't help me. But I think it's all about the right parameters and comp

Why don't you try with SC Irida?

[gleaming jolt]

Try with SC Irida and NC Cheren together!

Aim to flinch the center to buy some time

I bet together they are unstoppable

Gauge will not be a issue with SC Irida

I hope you remember it doing once before too

[karmic zephyr]

Also, I wanted to comment on flinch. Because it was mentioned in my case too. There's that parameter that I've put, that makes enemies immune to flinch

And also, since your oak is EX, sync with him first to get the double buff!

I think buffing crit rate is important in this battle

[fading cradle]

the gauge is so damn slow

irida’s free move just isn’t happening

[karmic zephyr]

Do you have any sprint available?

[fading cradle]

all i have is alt elio with exr

[karmic zephyr]

You could try using him as a support

And do you have anyone that buffs crit?

[fading cradle]

all i could find are melony and hop

[karmic zephyr]

No no, these won't do.

I think melony will even work against you on that stage

And hop, you'll probably want him for Diantha

It's okay, try Elio alt, SC Irida and oak and let's see what happens

[fading cradle]

i’m using steven for diantha already 🤷‍♀️

(arc suit steven)

[sharp willow]

i don't see how Melony would work against you for Siebold's stage

[karmic zephyr]

I was about to comment I did wrong on that 😂

I was confused for a second and thought her skill buffed the opponent's special damage reduction. But that's not the case.

[sharp willow]

realistically, even if it did have an effect on it, it wouldn't do anything since those are bypassed by crits to start

[fading cradle]

idk, cobalt said nc cheren might work better for me in this case

ive done an off type clear with both irida and cheren in the same team though

[karmic zephyr]

I don't have nc cheren so I have no clue. I'm just trying to help because I was struggling with that exact stage and found only SC Irida helpful.

(from the pairs I own)

[silver dirge]

Is this for off-typing Diantha?

[karmic zephyr]

did you check your parameters?

[silver dirge]

Ah, it's Siebold

NC Cheren will work better than SC Irida yes. He is quite bulky, maybe send your parameters for a quick review

[karmic zephyr]

I just read NC Cheren's kit. He was probably suggested because of his master passive

[silver dirge]

He's just the stronger damage dealer by a significant margin, makes for an easier time offtyping.

[fading cradle]

idk what to add for the last 50 points

they’re adjusted for having cheren and sc irida in the same team

[silver dirge]

Parameters look fine - what's the team?

[fading cradle]

i was about to test out sc irida, nc cheren, and alt elio

just missing those last 50 points 🫠

[silver dirge]

Oh dear the gauge will be near non existent in that team

[karmic zephyr]

take the tech pairs take extra damage

[silver dirge]

Is Lucian available?

[fading cradle]

cheren is tech

[fading cradle]

yes

[sharp willow]

cheren hopefully will not be getting hit

[silver dirge]

What's Cheren's move level?

[karmic zephyr]

Yeah but since he's gonna die on sync and he will be targeted last, it won't matter that much

[fading cradle]

1/5

[fading cradle]

unless rng decides to be an asshole and pull out bulldoze. not risking that

[sharp willow]

Siebold's starmie doesn't have any AOE moves, while the sides have a split of one single target and one aoe move each

[silver dirge]

Okay ditch Irida, try Lucian + NC Cheren + appropriate support

[sharp willow]

you might need to reset for them to not do that, but it's probably the safest parameter you could take

[silver dirge]

If there's a Unovan support available that will help a little

[fading cradle]

alright, though another problem i’m having is just deciding who my support should be. my best ones are already on other teams

+arc suit steven is on diantha’s team

[sharp willow]

i would probably suggest Melony, since she has the ability to deny moves with Sing

[silver dirge]

I would try Skyla with staggering, you also help the MP

But Melony should work too, Lucian helps with gauge

[sharp willow]

same concept, different benefits and downsides

[silver dirge]

Sync with the support first, try and either adrenaline 1 or quadqueue so you can get the 2nd sync in before their's

[fading cradle]

wait is sleep a status or interference

[sharp willow]

status

you'd need to replace no status for a different parameter but Melony makes taking "takes x3 damage" parameters easier since she can near guarantee that you won't be getting hit by AOEs early

[fading cradle]

worst experience of my life (arguably) is finally over, thanks gang 🙏

[silver dirge]

Nicely done!

[fading cradle]

alright, r2 malva, i used this team in hard mode, not sure what to expect

[silver dirge]

Should be good; Malva consistently aims to unimpress by having really low HP compared to her colleagues

[fading cradle]

anything i can add to make this equal to 6k? idk what to add

[left storm]

Grad healing

[gleaming jolt]

I always wanted to use MC Solgaleo, but Lillie dropped before Ex stole the limelight!

But gladly I was able to use him and it rocked!

Against Wikstrom I did a permanent Ground Zone which caused deadly Bulldozes!

-# Don't try this stunt with your team!

[thorny wind]

Man invented his own CS lvl2

But also similar mood as Ghost Weak Phoebe with boosted Physical Moves lol

[vague solar]

Every defense/HP/damage reduction effect

[karmic zephyr]

Ι could never pick those! Nice. This team never loses anyway! I have and use them too and I know their strength!

[vague solar]

Fr it’s busted, so fun tho especially with the permanent field thing

[karmic zephyr]

Which teams did you use for the other stages? If I can see

[vague solar]

Gimme a sec I’ll find them rq

Kinda cheating cuz I got all the arc fairs but I was able to 3k all of them

[karmic zephyr]

Nice!

I guess SS Hilbert would help me but I was unlucky on his banner.

Thankfully this week is over but bug weakness will come back sooner or later

[hushed burrow]

He is not mf cuz he would be too busted

[hushed burrow]

Same

[vague solar]

SS Hilbert rules I’m glad I pitied his last banner

[left storm]

Master passive is all he's missing tbh

[grand trout]

Is it possible for aegi to stay in shield form until he syncs?

[old orchid]

Yes, as long as you don't let it attack

[calm marsh]

Well yeah, if you pick -Sync Cd for enemy at least

[grand trout]

Oh my question is like

Will he change to sword form first or sth

[calm marsh]

He need to use attack move to change to Sword form

[hushed burrow]

So flinching?

[old orchid]

Yes, sleeping also works

Or you can replicate the strat Pykuo suggested above

[fading cradle]

maybe fighting wikstrom with riley r4 was a bad idea, save me

[old orchid]

How so

Riley has sync cds to deal with missing quad queue

[fading cradle]

the physical damage reduction makes me feel like i’m doing less damage than i want to ☠️☠️☠️ idk if i’m just getting unlucky or what

[calm marsh]

That doesn’t effect your dmg if you crit

[fading cradle]

yeahhhh, i guess i was just getting really unlucky with crits, bc i just cleared him lol

[fading cradle]

[vague solar]

What teams did you use?

[brisk oriole]

EX Karen, nice.

[keen jasper]

Now do 4k pts. per stage

[silver dirge]

Alternatively we could just let people be happy that they've accomplished the max points clear for rewards. No benefit in bashing your head against a wall for nothing

[fading cradle]

no

[hollow horizon]

diantha with uhhh however many points this is because i thought it would be funny

[gleaming jolt]

4650

[fading cradle]

melissa never cooks. i’m offtyping the hell outta drasna, i hate ice weak stages 😭

[left storm]

Drasna and malva keep being jokes at least

Wikstrom and Siebold are the real csmm Kalos champion fights

[violet timber]

I was wondering why arc Steven died

[karmic zephyr]

That reminds me I need to review my teams as well

[karmic zephyr]

I will definitely replace Piers with Marnie though, as I don't think he will be enough

[left storm]

What is that diantha team

Lol

[karmic zephyr]

Hahaha I just realised I put Brendan and Steven together 😂

Well, hopefully I can make them work

I have Anni Lillie too

[warped jungle]

This good?

[fading cradle]

true, fucking hate siebold fr

[mellow linden]

Sycamore and SS Lusamine have anti-synergy, as both fight for 1st Sync

[warped jungle]

Okay. He was there for spd

[mellow linden]

Skyla is another accessible Speed buffer who can also buff the team’s Defense and provide Potions, to name just one of many options

[warped jungle]

I was thinking the same but she ex so I was thinking of using her somewhere else 😅

Coz she ain't syncing with lusa around

These the supports I got.

Marowak looks good?

Can give spd. Sometimes.

[mellow linden]

If you’re not using SS Morty elsewhere then he’d be a good pick. Can provide a lot of gauge support and +1 or more crit.

And if you have someone that sets Psychic Terrain (like Bianca) then you could run Morty in place of Red + Snorlax

[warped jungle]

SSMorty is for bug team.

[mellow linden]

Then can try Kiawe if you have a Psychic Terrain setter, but if you don’t then Skyla or Lucian (if you have him) would be my recommendation for the 3rd

[warped jungle]

Yeah I do have Lucian. And he's at 4/5 too. So maybe use that instead of SSLusamine??

[nocturne pawn]

Use him for support

[warped jungle]

Lucian is built too. The sync nuke build.

[nocturne pawn]

His passives are very good for lussa

[warped jungle]

So Lucian, lusamine, red?

[nocturne pawn]

Yeah that can work

[warped jungle]

What about steel? Any of these good? Idk how good Gloria is. Never used her. Mostly use solgaleo.

Or should I off type steel weakness?

Ssserena or SCirida maybe?

Worst case scenario, I use poison stall.

[left storm]

Solgaleo and hop have a super easy time

[warped jungle]

Yeah that's what I was leaning towards.

[warped jungle]

What does Gloria do? She good?? I selected her from some free selector coz I already had the other two.

[left storm]

Gloria need 4/5 to be great

[warped jungle]

Okay so just bench her?

[left storm]

She can still work 1/5

But she's not better than solgaleo

At that move levrl

[warped jungle]

Okay

[peak stirrup]

Is Siebold strong vs physical? My escavalier did 21k with Megahorn but it was only half. Or is he just stupid bulky?

[left storm]

He's Phys resistant

[peak stirrup]

Yikes. Will have to try my 1/5 volacrona then

[left storm]

2x def

[peak stirrup]

Did even worse. Have to offtype I guess

[fading cradle]

an invested burgh can probably clear him with the right supports

[thorny wind]

Okay this run is actually funny.

One para proc from the side, one confusion proc from Siebold, and Barry dodged 3 moves in a row

[true bloom]

Wow brute forced sentry entry, that's a-MAZ-ing

[thorny wind]

Well he's my only choice for ontype

Whiffed Hilbert gang 🫡

Well technically Viola is Special but 1/5 lol

[true bloom]

I just cleared it with Burgh because too lazy to brute forced it

[gleaming jolt]

It's off-type was easy too!

[trail smelt]

I just let mah boi Guzma handle it as always

[thorny wind]

It has been done. Kalos got hands

[gleaming jolt]

That solo Wikstrom with Rei!

[true bloom]

This is peak

[left storm]

What move level is Rei?

[thorny wind]

||took me the longest||

[left storm]

3/5?

[thorny wind]

5/5

[left storm]

Yeah I was saying

No way 3/5 soloes

Without insane RNG

Aka flinching a ton with 30%

Or 2 mprs

[thorny wind]

I was fishing for one flinch and 1-2 MPR

and then Eva dodge gaming

[gleaming jolt]

That's impressive, your efforts paid off!
Even without replacing the zone!

[left storm]

Yeah, expected

[true bloom]

THAT EARTHQUAKE EVASION

[left storm]

3/5 could also do it but needs 2 mprs

+1 flinch

Because no dodge

[thorny wind]

Also Flash Cannon oneshots him so that's a big no

[left storm]

With zone yea

[gleaming jolt]

I could have never done that!
Rei +4 evasion tanking!

[left storm]

Eri can also do that solo but I messed up and ended with wikstrom on R3 so infinite zone zzz

[hollow horizon]

this is probably the farthest I can push this

assuming i did my math right this should be 5150 on steel diantha

the non-active parameters were sync cd -1, no stat reduction, five stats +3, special damage reduction, crit defense, and can't change wtz

it was a really slow sunday

[hoary ingot]

Having trouble with drasna and not doing enough dmg don’t know what to do for team

[fading cradle]

what team are you using?

[hoary ingot]

Im using the free giovanni mewtwo the sabrina alakazam and the bianca musharna

[toxic cobalt]

Switch Bianca for Agatha to sleep spam

[hoary ingot]

wait

the 4 star one?

[toxic cobalt]

Any sleep pair really

Is Sabrina gridded to provide speed?

[hoary ingot]

i didnt do the sync grid yet

oops

[toxic cobalt]

That will help!

Do ping me if you need

[clear breach]

Ugh Ice weak

My worst enemy

WAIT

maybe not

I recently got 3/5 Hala 😈

[fading cradle]

i’m off typing that shit, fuck ice weak stages

[hushed burrow]

If I use the same team except I replace Bianca with Lucian could it work?

When is CS reset?

[fading cradle]

this reset

it resets every monday

[toxic cobalt]

Lucian definitely helps

[hushed burrow]

Do my types carry over if I can't beat the champion

I hate siebold I can't even off thpe

All my good off type are physical

[old orchid]

Have you tried toxic stalling

[hushed burrow]

No I will in a bit

The only problem is I don't have pokey trap or potent toxin

[old orchid]

That doesn't matter

[mellow linden]

No. In order for type medal progress to be saved you must beat the Champion that week

[karmic zephyr]

how many types do you have left in your medal?

You only have like 2 hours left so just go for the strongest striker for now and forget the medal because you're gonna lose another week if you don't clear it! Hopefully you have more than 10 registered so next week you can do both hard and master mode.

[toxic cobalt]

Janine, Lucy, then a tank like Leaf or BP Morty

[wheat dragon]

hmm

so siebold is kinda destroying guzma

what going on here

[thorny wind]

Sentry Entry x 2

So physical units are a no go

[wheat dragon]

welp

i guess i hve to off type then

[old orchid]

If you have 3/5 Burgh he is a solid choice

[rapid osprey]

@fading cradle so remember how you hate kalos stadium

i accidentally missed last week entirely bc of traveling and today's traveling took way longer than expected

so unless i can clear in the next 40 minutes i think im also missing this week dfkhjfgkhjd

time to scrape out my medal next week and shrug it off dfgjkhdfjgkh

[fading cradle]

oops!

blame all your problems on kalos

[rapid osprey]

real!

its kalos' fault for being during such a busy month

[hushed burrow]

I don't have leaf so are any of these good tanks?

[hushed burrow]

Same

[fading cradle]

i see leaf right there though

[hushed burrow]

Oh I thought he was talking about ss leaf 🤦‍♂️

:/

Well rip

One more week of MM

I don't like siebold

[fading cradle]

EWWWWW NOT HALF SYNC 😷😷😷😷😷

[hushed burrow]

?

[trail smelt]

Half synced Diantha just because I can lol

Ready for next week

[hushed burrow]

whats a half sync

[trail smelt]

The round parameter for round 4 where both sides sync countdown is cut in half

[fading cradle]

half sync sucks i hate it so much

[trail smelt]

Yeah when you don’t have enough OP units it’s the worst one lol

[true bloom]

Wikstorm was nightmare, had to offtype Drasna and Malva because my ice and rock roster Saks

[thorny wind]

Good job on the clears

[true bloom]

[hushed burrow]

well im gonna suffer

i dont like kalos cs 😭

[true bloom]

Yeah this week is especially hard for me

[thorny wind]

Kalos got hands

[keen jasper]

Half sync? Fuck yeah

[clear breach]

Ash nuke is so satisfying

[true bloom]

Omg Ash haver

Buddy move wasn't even used

[gleaming jolt]

He just nailed it first sync without support sync!

[clear breach]

Going to crash out I can’t beat Drasna

She’s so annoying with her Aoe move spam

Hmm I could do Post sync and off type with SS Lusamine and sync nuke

Hala does fine but he’s so slow and I don’t have him ex’d

[left storm]

Offtype sslusa

[clear breach]

Yes

[frosty pilot]

used this opportunity to test BP candice

she isn’t great…

[clear breach]

Anything I should change? I always get Wikstrom to around 20% HP after I sync and shadow force him, he syncs and then Cynthia dies so uhh yeah, should I change anything?

[gleaming jolt]

Can try low attack high HP!

That's what I do!

Instead of 150 Atk3 and 50 Def you can choose 200 HP4

[old orchid]

there are some options that should not be picked

like def up and special dmg reduction

Wikstrom's gimmick is erasing his stat buffs, so replacing Hop with a Hazer is a good idea

it also allows you to pick Five stats on entry for free 100 pts, as you are supposed to haze them away on the first turn

ally hp down on entry and ally healing down are also good options, allowing you to remove offensive ones

since Cynthia's nuke is great, you can afford pick a few HP params, too

[clear breach]

Special dmg reduction?

[old orchid]

yes

you don't want Shadow Ball to be nearly useless

[clear breach]

Alrighty

[clear breach]

still can’t beat him

Round 4 is so annoying

I might just reset and do Wikstrom in a different round

[old orchid]

R4 fucks up quad queue so you can either aim for a post sync clear or bring someone to ramp

[clear breach]

Ramp?

[old orchid]

it means lowering sync cds

[zealous karma]

Someone like sygna suit elesa has sync accel/ramp

[loud stratus]

aww man only 1 CS with fire weak? i wanted to flex my new nc leaf

[fading cradle]

malva r4 is making me bang my head

maybe i should try adding a sync accelerator too

[loud stratus]

3k?

[stoic pawn]

Yes.

[loud stratus]

nice

[clear breach]

Finally I beat this stupid week

15K

[fading cradle]

can this diantha be stalled? i’m kinda scared of fairy zone 💀

[gleaming jolt]

She has a fairy zone?

[gleaming jolt]

So can SS Roxie replace the zone too??

Woah!!

If so then you solo it with losing 150 points in WTZ!

[fading cradle]

yeah, she sets it up before she syncs. perma field param didn’t help either

i managed to 3k stall her though so consider it done (we need to destroy siebold like right now)

[swift swan]

Updated! Was very busy today

[main crow]

Funny things are happening with half sync

[teal pike]

rock weak malva is fucking impossible methinks

[clear breach]

You could always off type it

[teal pike]

oh ive been trying

and ive tried with different round parameters as well

[teal pike]

anyone have any ideas?

[mellow linden]

Is this Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[teal pike]

mm

2000 param

[mellow linden]

Can try SS Kris/Cyrus/3rd for off-typing

[teal pike]

yeah true

[mellow linden]

Or Mix Leaf instead of Cyrus, actually

[stoic pawn]

She can't replace the zone.
So, electric terrain and fairy zone remain.
BC half is another rule I chose.

[mellow linden]

Technically she could if you can afford to delay the Max Move, but I assume that’s not the case

[old orchid]

Roxie has Poison Zone, mind you

Wait nvm

💀

I got your point

[stoic pawn]

Thank you.
I forgot her passive skill.

[gleaming jolt]

I see!

[teal pike]

had to go down to 1500, but i managed to clear

[mellow linden]

Congrats!

[hushed burrow]

I need help with kalos cs i can't do it

[clear breach]

Which stage

[hushed burrow]

all of them

[old orchid]

let's start with showing your roster

[hushed burrow]

i will have to send it later, i cant play rn

[swift swan]

+tracker please use the tracker next time so you don't have to take multiple screenshots

[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

[swift swan]

also, is this for hard mode?

[hushed burrow]

alr

how to send the link with all my pairs tho

[hushed burrow]

yes, i have 0/18

[gleaming jolt]

You screenshot it with roles!

So less screenshots like 3

[swift swan]

Hard mode should be easy enough. Start by picking 5 of your best damage dealers. it doesn't have to be ontype

Assign one to each E4 then build your team around them. Some of the E4 members have gimmicks that you might need to handle so you have an easier time. You can check those on pomatools

+pomatools

[frozen depot]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs

[hushed burrow]

from what i can see i have three good dmg dealers, those being glorialt giacomo and rei

can u help me find another 2?

[gleaming jolt]

MC Solgaleo right there

[swift swan]

Dont underestimate legendary adventures units. Solgaleo, Giovanni, cyrus should be able to perform well in hard mode. Even ss red can work well with a sun setter

[hushed burrow]

Hmm alr i will try

[hushed burrow]

Giovanni and cyrus are not boosted

Ss red is 1/5

[old orchid]

their PB don't matter, especially for Cyrus' Hydro Pump build

but Red needs heavy support

unless it's hard mode for you

[hushed burrow]

It is hard mode

Seems like I gotta off type all of them

[old orchid]

no you don't

have to

[hushed burrow]

Which one can I on type

Iirc I don't have good Dmg dealers for any

Except maybe electric weak siebold

Wikstrom maybe shauntal can

[old orchid]

Ghetsis for Drasna

poison stall Diantha

and you only have to find a way to offtype Malva

[hushed burrow]

Alr i will try

Btw for the round para is there any order i should go in

[old orchid]

the pins warned you about which stages should be avoided in each round

[hushed burrow]

Ok lemme see

So aside from wikstrom and siebold on r3 doesn't matter much

[fading cradle]

you also wanna be very careful with who you fight r4

[hushed burrow]

Anyone I should avoid?

[fading cradle]

i mean it doesn’t matter much, just be careful with who you choose to fight r4

[mellow linden]

Basically, make sure your team can handle the opponent getting their 1st Sync in half the time on round 4

[swift swan]

This usually means buffing defenses and/or debuffing their offenses. Make sure you have enough sustain

[dusky quartz]

How do I beat champion stadium with f2p units? I feel like I don’t do damage

[mellow linden]

Make sure your teams have good synergy and that you’re dealing with the respective stage gimmicks

[dusky quartz]

Is there a guide In this discord?

[mellow linden]

There’s info on the stage gimmicks via the pomatools link in the pinned messages here, and we have some teambuilding guidelines via our Teambuilding 101 in #1010307000346878062 (or by going to #bot-zone and using the +101 command over there)

[toxic cobalt]

I have some old Kalos videos https://youtu.be/jYHDZ1B_Vhw?si=yuBYhVMeONQ4xLXs, haven’t checked to see if they align with this week sorry

Might serve as examples of team building nonetheless

[thorny wind]

Finally got time to do CS this week

[thorny wind]

Scottie appearance

[gleaming jolt]

Red dominating the field!

[thorny wind]

As he should

[fading cradle]

what the scottie

[gleaming jolt]

Flinch bot I guess?

[thorny wind]

Initially I was planning him + Emmet

But Sentry is too much for him so I replaced him with Diantha

I kind of just kept him to remove the sun, but also realized midway he can reduce Spd for Diantha's Cakewalk

So it worked out lol

[true bloom]

At first I was like
Who's Scottie

[thorny wind]

[gleaming jolt]

All of us are Scottie!

[true bloom]

[thorny wind]

That's true

[gleaming jolt]

Here is my basic clear!

[thorny wind]

I see you with that turbo sync CD

[hushed burrow]

Siebold is getting nuked every three turns

[fading cradle]

kill siebold

[vague solar]

Does Malva have a defense buff or something? Gordie is doing way less than he should

[fading cradle]

sentry entry x2 iirc

[vague solar]

Oh lame, gotta off type now

Actually before I do

Any way I can make this work 3k?

[vague solar]

😭

[dusky quartz]

Why don’t my moves do damage in champion stadium when my sync pairs are level 140?

[fading cradle]

hard mode or master mode?

[dusky quartz]

Hard mode

[fading cradle]

some stages have gimmicks that make them more tanky (example: rock weak malva this week has sentry entry 2x so it’s better to bring a special attacker)

you might also want to review your teams and ensure they have good synergy together

[dusky quartz]

I don’t have many pairs so I’m trying to win with free units

I thought the legendaries would be strong. So I farmed them but even they pop

[fading cradle]

the rounds you fight the elite four are also something you kind of have to pay attention to. sometimes it doesn’t matter but other times, there’s a certain stage you want to avoid for certain rounds. who are you trying to fight and what round?

[fading cradle]

did you max out their move levels and increase their potential to 20/20 by chance? those resources are given to you for free

[dusky quartz]

For the legendaries I did max everything but I gave up to use type advantage

[fading cradle]

well first off you’re not replacing the sunny weather. malva gets a huge boost under the sun

what does your roster look like? i’m not really good at helping people build teams but maybe a helper can come by later and take a look

(+ you don’t have to run a full monotype team at all)

roxanne is kind of redundant there because she doesn’t raise physical attack for roark (assuming he’s your damage dealer)

[dusky quartz]

Is there a roster making app? The screenshot I sent of my units is not posting

Thank you for helping me by the way. This is my roster.

That team has no synergy

+101

[frozen depot]

> Teambuilding 101
Make sure you've done the Victory Road tutorial for an introduction to the game's teambuilding & gameplay.

1. Build your team around a damage dealer that hits the stage's weakness (or off-type if they're strong enough). This can be a / striker or a tech. Read the unit's kit carefully - moves & passives - to see what they can buff themselves. Ideally you want to be at +3 critical-hit rate and +6 attack or special attack depending on the unit. Damage dealers should be slot 3 in tactics

2. Choose a support to put in slot 1 tactics so it takes the damage. Your support should cover the buffs and damage dealer needs they cannot max by themselves reliably - critical hit rate and SpAtk/Atk being the main ones. If your damage dealer is self-sufficient, you can look at defensive, healing or other utility supports instead.

3. The 3rd slot is flexible and depends on your other two pairs. You could take a tech focusing on utility such as debuffs or field effects to enhance your damage dealer, or another support that covers a team need like defenses, healing or boost gauge speed for demanding damaging moves. If your team allows it, you can even pick a 2nd damage dealer! It's important to experiment & remember that a successful team needs to manage gauge properly for triple queueing and buffing your damage dealier efficiently so they can start attacking as soon as possible!

See the image below for a visual guide. And check out #1010307000346878062 or the bot commands pinned in #bot-zone for more information on Triple Queue & other game information!

[mellow linden]

Those guidelines should help you understand the whys and hows of teambuilding and what makes a team with good synergy

And don’t be afraid to off-type if your supereffective damage-dealers are struggling hard

[sick inlet]

I love how everytime I see this command it's further updated

[hushed burrow]

I definitely have a rock sp attacker :)))))

[toxic cobalt]

Wilkstrom could you chill please with the attack strength

[fading cradle]

why is wikstrom like this

[sharp willow]

Theres a reason why I call ghost weak wikstrom the worst CS stage of them all

[zealous karma]

He one shot my Morty pretty convincingly

[dim depot]

Yeah, I was gonna say. This particular Wikstrom battle is probably the hardest CS battle in the game.

[nocturne pawn]

yeah

stance change gimmick both defensive multipliers and tm buffs a lot

[dim depot]

It gave me a hard time last time it came up. And here I am much stronger and I still struggle

Rising Tide is cracked. Any stat up, deal insane damage

[nocturne pawn]

he also starts in shield form effectively resulting in 2x sentry and wise entry until he attacks

[dim depot]

Here I am, 3/5 EXR SSR Cynthia, and still can't win lol. Well, I got close but I fumbled it. Definitely not pre-syncing this, and it's RNG if I survive sync

[fading cradle]

i actually cheesed both ghost weak wikstroms this month easily with a 1/5 ex exr sc irida, but seeing others describe him makes him sound really hard 😭

[nocturne pawn]

you can definitely pre sync but you probably need to change params

[dim depot]

Niche params I guess

This is basically like every other attempt. This battle is the worst.
https://streamable.com/mpv3hl

Oh yeah, I have sync countdown -2. Normally that's manageable. Clearly not here though

[swift swan]

Wikstrom's pretty bulky, you want all the time before sync that you can afford

[dim depot]

Even with normal sync countdown and no power on hit 1, sync hits just as hard as with those two on

[dim depot]

Defeated. SC Steven remains consistent. Still had to frame-perfect queue a Shadow Force to win though

[dim depot]

Malva seems difficult too. They want you to do special rock damage, but that's only Classic Blue?

[old orchid]

Alt Selene would be the best choice

Malva only has 17k HP so you can still brute force through her with physical Rock type dmg dealers

[dim depot]

This Sentry Entry the hint warns about, that's just a stat up? Isn't there one where they just passively receive less damage from that type?

[old orchid]

Sentry Entry 2 and Sentry Entry x2 are too different passives

SE2 is just +2 Def on entry

[dim depot]

Legit just learning this now. Why do they seem so similar then?

[old orchid]

[hushed burrow]

classic blue has pidgeot no?

nvm

im dumb

[thorny wind]

Sometimes the name gets confusing

Especially with Blue who has the most alts lol

[vague solar]

This week is mad hard

Still have drasna and siebold left for the last two params

And my best physical electric is base elesa 😭

[mellow linden]

Siebold doesn’t demand physical or special

But even then depending on Move Level Elesa can be plenty

[vague solar]

He doesn’t but it’s on the physical parameter round

[mellow linden]

You aren’t required to use that parameter

[vague solar]

And my special options aren’t strong enough to wipe him

Tho actually wait I have SS Hilbert

[mellow linden]

Could definitely use him + a special Electric Sync nuker

[vague solar]

I’m complaining for nothing my b lol

Kinda strapped on options for nuking

Hau could work I guess

Or Surge if I build him rq

[mellow linden]

Hau should do fine as long as your Support can handle status and move gauge

Worst case scenario you can always try just running SS Hilbert under Electric Terrain, you may be able to get away with no on-type Sync

[vague solar]

Finally 😭

Not sure if this was a skill issue or if Kalos is just hard lol

[fading cradle]

kalos is one of the hardest stadiums so that’s that

[vague solar]

15k finally

Siebold sucks but other than that it went fine

[clear breach]

Eve gaming

[vague solar]

Found the drasna counter

[hushed burrow]

Damn

It's a cake walk

[true bloom]

This..... is 3k?

[gleaming jolt]

Evasion tanking!

And that sync did a lot of damage I guess!

[true bloom]

That's very creative but I wouldn't have the heart/patience to keep repeating for evasion 😭

[vague solar]

LOL no

Zero chance at 3k

[lean lion]

I wouldn't be so sure. @sick inlet what do you think? 3k possible?

[hushed burrow]

Strat please

[supple reef]

it is max evasion + get lucky

there is no strat, only gambling

[bitter veldt]

Max evasion being only 50%

I would NOT

[swift swan]

What the fuck

[supple reef]

Eve also gets Ridicure on grid, which against low offensive pressure is probably enough to sustain

[swift swan]

Eve has paper thin defenses

So no, even if she dodges all the moves, I'm not confident she can take a sync

[hushed burrow]

did u spam double team?

[vague solar]

This worked for Drasna on the debuff round, haven’t tried anyone else.
Use TM 3 times with mpr for max stats, use swift 3 times for debuffs, then use double team to max evasion. With max investment (level 150, 20/20 PUs, etc) you can live a good amount of hits.

Sync one of the sides first to KO since cakewalk isn’t active yet, then spam swift until you can sync center for the kill

There’s a lot of dodge luck after Drasna syncs and especially for her toxic/poison moves but given who you’re working with its not too bad

[hushed burrow]

alr

thanks

[vague solar]

O yeah healthy healing for the lucky skill

Super clutch

[hushed burrow]

hmm

[vague solar]

Trust

[hushed burrow]

20/20 5* PU?

[vague solar]

Yea

[hushed burrow]

ok yea

too much investment for me :p

i will just stick to ghetsis

[vague solar]

Lol that’s fair

Promise you ghetsis is easier if you just want to clear it 💀

[sick inlet]

Might be possible but at what cost......

And how many sync are you tanking?

[lean lion]

Yeah nov also mentioned you can't tank sync

Guess it's rip

[vague solar]

You can tank 1 sync tbf

Assuming you don’t stack attack multipliers too much

[clear breach]

All max hp params, wanted to test out Irida since i basically yolo’d her

Also wanted to use Shiny Glaceon egg on

[robust barn]

Did some last minute CS, some points:
• Drasna was a pain this week!! Praise the rng gods, her Endure kept making me loose close to the finishing line, then those 1 hit EQs!!
• Diantha unexpectedly kept reflecting stat drops on my Poison stall team

[clear breach]

This week should be easy enough

But we are talking about Kalos here…

[fading cradle]

fuck

why did a grass weak and a fire weak stage have to collide ☠️ (might switch leaf and falkner hmmmm)

[brisk oriole]

SS Erika - "Could SS Morty move to Siebold team?"

[fading cradle]

what i’m saying but i don’t have any other sun support unless i just max move with wallace to get the sun in

[nocturne pawn]

That’s generally how he works

[brisk oriole]

DC Tierno : "Give me Vigilance and I will show you Sunny Day on Entry".

If only he have Support Exr.

[clear breach]

Here’s my teams, they’ll probably change though specifically the Wikstrom team cus I just wanna test out Lucas’s solar immunity passive

[hushed burrow]

i dont like kalos cs

and cuz of how hard it is

i keep delaying it

i forgot it yet again this week

:p

[fading cradle]

last week of kalos stadium thankfully

but i really

really

hate this stadium

[thorny wind]

[fading cradle]

EWWWWWW THERES HALF SYNC

[sick inlet]

Best in the worlddddd

[brisk oriole]

Half sync and permanent field effect.
Most hate/loved and most loved.

[left storm]

Oh right forgot to post last week's

First time in months I went back to 3v3 f2p clears and god it's too easy to have 3 units

[clear breach]

A little difficult but the easiest Kalos stadium so far

[true bloom]

Whoaaa Lucas, nice team

[hushed burrow]

damn

how does bro pull off runs i cant even imagine

[toxic cobalt]

EXing every pair and quad queuing

[left storm]

For some of these quad and ex aren't even needed

Nemona, melony, koga, event Gio, Sabrina, volkner can be all exless

Volkner and melony even work just 1/5

And for Vs Diantha, drasna and malva quad queue isn't needed

As stage either dies to poison, sleep/flinch patches non queueing or in Malva's case, stage dies before you need to sync twice

[swift swan]

updated! i keep forgetting today's a monday

[calm marsh]

Also ty @old orchid for ruining one of my screen shot

[old orchid]

My pleasure

[gleaming jolt]

Wtz everywhere!

[true bloom]

Whoaaaa all support team

[gleaming jolt]

Omg triple support everywhere

[true bloom]

[gleaming jolt]

Pykuo will break the game soon!

[clear breach]

Surprisingly he was useful! He has Will-O-Wisp so I was able to proc Hilda’s Burn Synergy and Scorching Sync

And thanks to his Team Solar Immunity the enemy wasn’t able to flinch Morty

[fading cradle]

i don’t wanna do this stadium only bc of half sync

save me

[true bloom]

You do it too

[true bloom]

That's nice way to utilize him

[gleaming jolt]

[true bloom]

Do it on a stage with your most op pairs

[gleaming jolt]

I will most probably break my finger trying to do that!

[fading cradle]

probably wikstrom then

my siebold team REALLY needs ss morty but i already have him in my fire team, idk who to replace him with

[gleaming jolt]

Replace SS Morty, Elio(alt) and Falkner with each other!
All of those teams will balance I guess!

[brisk oriole]

Happy eevee month ( do ignore Wikstrom's stage without eevee)

[thorny wind]

Congrats but don't go

[vague solar]

Eve gaming

That diantha team is kinda crazy actually is that 3k?

[brisk oriole]

Yes. it is.

Eve helped by giving me 2 dodges from Diantha's attacks.

[vague solar]

Eve is mad underrated she’s so fun

[brisk oriole]

Can agree.
I would have better time if I get ridicure on her during that cs.

[left storm]

She wasn't underrated when on her release she soloed multiple LAs like nothing

[nocturne pawn]

was it really nothing

lg chat always whines about eve when they get the chance lol

[left storm]

I mean she could've done much more if she had ex

Also I don't follow LG chat because

LG

[nocturne pawn]

if she had ex that wouldnt exactly solve the issue of needing to dodge like almost every attack

if she had something like guard entry 2 as an ls it’d probably make it simpler

since you’d actually have leeway

[left storm]

It would make fights decently easier because by killing faster she'd need less dodges

It also would make investing in 20/20 less of a meme choice

[vague solar]

Meme?

[left storm]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-kneel-aiiieee-gif-25204089

[fading cradle]

yall think i can switch around my supports a bit? (ignore drasna team, i already cleared her) definitely moving morty to the siebold team

but then again i was thinking of doing wikstrom r3 where the half sync is so 🧍‍♀️

[sage otter]

Help, I'm trying to beat Siebold with a neutral DPS, how do I use 3000 points?

These are my plant mons, and this is the unit I'll be using

[trail smelt]

Geez forgot to do immediately

[sage otter]

If you have any ideas please ping me. Thanks 🤓

[mellow linden]

For 3k parameters you’d generally pick a 2.5k preset to act as a base and then add/adjust as necessary based on your needs and preferences

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” option, you just need to experiment a bit

Also if you’re gonna off-type with NC Marnie then don’t try and shoehorn a Grass damage-dealer into it, instead build a team fully around NC Marnie

[sage otter]

Yeah I brought Dark Wish Umbreon and I don't know who my last unit should be

[mellow linden]

A good tank, namely

If they can also help the move gauge and/or provide other useful utility then even better

[sage otter]

What does presync and postsync mean?

[clear breach]

Pre sync means before the enemy syncs, post sync means after they sync

I think

[mellow linden]

• Pre-Sync: You need to KO before the opponent Syncs.
• Post-Sync: You don’t care whether the opponent Syncs.

[sage otter]

thanks

[trail smelt]

Half synced Diantha instead of permanent field effects

Why?

Because I can baby lol

[sage otter]

Very sad anime moment (My Silver isn't EX)

[fading cradle]

oof 500 points off

but it’s good progress!

[fading cradle]

also bump in case no one saw it

[junior solstice]

whats this current cs?

[clear breach]

Water, Grass, Fairy, Fire & Ground Weak

[unique sand]

A good day for Lyra

[hushed burrow]

i mean LAs isnt allat

[left storm]

Well soloing some LAs is an achievement for some units

[gleaming jolt]

[true bloom]

Wow you offtyped everything

[gleaming jolt]

Hehe yes!

[nocturne pawn]

i have trauma from siebold so i killed him with erika and adaman

also holy fuck erika did like 25k with solar blade shes terrifying

[gleaming jolt]

My plan was to just offtype any one stage with Zerena, but I end up offtyping everything!

[true bloom]

Is that higher than Adaman leaf blade?

[true bloom]

It's very good you could offtype them all

[nocturne pawn]

by a lot

but i only think he got to leaf blade like once

[true bloom]

Whoaaa she's better than I thought
I should try using her one day in grass weak CS (usually I just offtype because I don't have limited grass)

[nocturne pawn]

shes extremely good for a gen pool

especially considering when she released

[toxic cobalt]

You can also use Brendan

[nocturne pawn]

cuz she was with kanto va

which was fairly early on

[nocturne pawn]

i used to use them together but now i have adaman so brendan is dead tk me

also leaf storm is special which makes it more annoying

[left storm]

Oh shit I lost my eggrookey screenshot

I wanted to reply with it to that

Guess I know what I'm annihilating this week's grass weak stage with

[true bloom]

My Brendan still only 1/5 sadly, but I can try him too once I get 3/5 XD

[nocturne pawn]

i mean tbf this was max strength or smth so like

[true bloom]

Yeah it seems so, I used her badly in DC so I thought she was bad

[nocturne pawn]

also i hate ss acerola so much she has negative special bulk

[mellow linden]

You’ll find that a lot of Grass damage-dealers can output more than Adaman’s Leaf Blade; Adaman’s biggest flaw is somewhat lackluster regular move damage output since so much of his damage’s power budget was put into his Sync nuke

[nocturne pawn]

yeah even with the built in charging sun 5 its still mediocre

Damn, I thought I'm the only one who thought his leaf blade is so mid
Good thing to know there are better option

[left storm]

Yeah I just use that screenshot as a way to prove solar blade is overall stupid

[nocturne pawn]

oh totally

its solar beam but even more ridiculous

[cinder summit]

<:CATEGORY_PHYSICAL:967450751980949625> <:TYPE_GRASS:967452395804192788> Solar Blade

Gauge: 3 | Power: 200 | Accuracy: 100 | Uses: -

The user gets ready to attack. Using this move again will cause the user to leave this posture, then attack. No other actions can be taken while ready to attack. The preparation period is skipped when the weather is sunny, and the user will attack right away.

Sync Pairs with Move:

Sygna Suit Erika & Leafeon

[nocturne pawn]

200bp

[left storm]

The moment they give solar blade to a unit with half decent atk and a multiplier

[nocturne pawn]

on 3 gauge

[left storm]

Grass can start doing better

If adaman had solar blade he'd be used much more

Instead of 90 BP shitty aaaah move

[nocturne pawn]

i mean hes still the best dpser cuz his sync is so ridiculously over the top

[left storm]

For grass types yea

[nocturne pawn]

it really depends on what grass arc does

[left storm]

Sadly grass still fares badly as a type because he's held back by his DPS

[nocturne pawn]

if it wants to improve

cuz imo the bigger issue is having poor wtz compression

acerola has it but cant tank for shit without mix red

[left storm]

I mean as a rule of thumb

Arcs use rebuffs so inherently all 2 rebuff units of the types lose value when arcs debut

Like fall Iono etc

[nocturne pawn]

yeah but what i mean is that he either gets replaced or the utility pair gets replaced

[left storm]

I mean

He's getting replaced only if the arc is a nuker

But he still loses value

No matter what

...unless ig grass arc is purely DPS oriented so you don't make it sync

[nocturne pawn]

yeah i mean im not that concerned about losing value but whether he gets flat out replaced

cuz imo the main flaw is with the wtz setting atm

cuz most grass want sun and terrain but its hard to have both

[left storm]

I don't think he will be replaced, but he definitely won't push grass to huge heights even with a grass arc supoort

[nocturne pawn]

its either you get forced into running mix red + acerola or you run some other comp with ss morty

[left storm]

Even if the aforementioned arc has sun + grass

Adaman is still not close to high tier

Because of his low DPS

Ofc he will gain more achievements

But for no merit of his own, unless the arc has a ton of gterrain but 0 sun

[hexed jasper]

can u guys help me with the current champion stadium

here's the list of sync pairs that i have

[mellow linden]

Is this Hard Mode or Master Mode?

[hexed jasper]

hard

[mellow linden]

Can build a team around:

• Cyrus for Malva (make sure to go get and 5/5 20/20 your Cyrus from Legendary Adventures).
• SS Erika for Siebold.
• Off-type with Rei or Lillie + Solgaleo for Drasna (alternatively if you can get Valerie + Mawile from the BP exchange she’d be good).
• SS Red for Wikstrom.
• Arc Cynthia for Diantha.

And probably be fine. Make sure to check the stage gimmicks via the pomatools link in the pins, follow the Teambuilding 101 guidelines, and try to include 9-12 different types (the type of the Sync Move) across your 5 teams if this is your 1st time doing CS (if you have a lot of types on the type medal already then try and finish it off this week)

[hexed jasper]

ok ty

[hushed burrow]

I mean solar blade has like double the power

[hushed burrow]

oh wait I thought they meant legendary adventures and not arena :

Sorry I accidentally clicked ur name so it pinged u tony

[gleaming jolt]

It's fine!

[zealous karma]

Well it’ll be a bmove at our current rate

[vague solar]

I’m so proud of this clear on Drasna

[thorny wind]

I was trying solo Gio against Diantha

Too much #gaugeissue

[true bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/normal-day-lame-tortoise-slow-motion-here-i-come-gif-17090395

[thorny wind]

So real

Also TIL, the stat drop from fainted units do not get reflected by Magearna

I thought I was cooking with this param

[undone ether]

rip o.o

what is that supposed to be full atk param?

[thorny wind]

Yes

But the -3 stat from the point param does get reflected

So at least there's that lol

[fading cradle]

need siebold to die so bad oh my god fuck siebold kill siebold i hate siebold so much

[toxic cobalt]

Real

[hushed burrow]

That French chef smh

[fading cradle]

AND FUCK YOU SIEBOLD 🔪

[brisk oriole]

SS Erika and Brendan looks different

[fading cradle]

next cs is unova LETS GO. LETS FUCKING GO. IM SICK OF KALOS’S SHIT

[sick inlet]

Back to easy mode

[true bloom]

[vague solar]

I CAN USE FUN TEAMS AGAIN

So tired of having to press the arc button for half the stadiums

[queen wedge]

Wooo firsr 15k

[sick inlet]

Was nice knowing you Kalos, You can rest now

Why didn't I do Siebold with Red

[thorny wind]

Ye you should have

[sick inlet]

Ahh I know why

Cause round 1 was like physical attacks are stronger

[thorny wind]

I used Mix Red because my Adaman is 1/5 (was waiting datamine before I 3/5)

[sick inlet]

Red can still clear

But that Sync Nuke was so tasty

On Adaman

[thorny wind]

Yep he did. He's the one I used

Meanwhile I went R2 with Gladion

My cooking was bland

[sick inlet]

What happened here

[thorny wind]

Stat debuff when ally faints. I expected Gladion to reflect that to Drasna

It did not happen

[sick inlet]

He deflects the parameter power down though

I believe?

[thorny wind]

He did

[sick inlet]

Ye

[sick inlet]

I put it on anyways because he has basically mirror armor or clear armor so free 100 pts

Even if he didn't reflect as long as he doesn't get debuffed

[thorny wind]

Yep true

This ended up being my clear. The MCs are carrying

[gleaming jolt]

Both of you cooked this CSMM!

[nocturne pawn]

igglybuff for moral support is so funny

[thorny wind]

Gio's gauge is still miserable

Also I like that rowlet emoji

[gleaming jolt]

Credits to @true bloom
It's from his server

[thorny wind]

Good stuff. And it's shiny too!

[thorny wind]

Gladion needs it!

[nocturne pawn]

yeah his gauge is quite atrocious

[thorny wind]

In my one run Gio failed because he's at -2 Spd and he barely missed the queue

[sick inlet]

Is your Giovanni 5/5

I never use mine because 1/5

[thorny wind]

Yes, from the triple fair banner last May

[true bloom]

Why those egg mons level 29
Also all mix unit solo clear

[true bloom]

[sharp willow]

exp gained from clearing the stage

[thorny wind]

I want to try other mons but can't find an ideal param order, so went with those three lol.

Also two eggmons being there to get a level up from Drasna is hilarious

Also got this concerning hall of fame

[true bloom]

Ohhh yeah that makes sense

[true bloom]

Dang, Giovanni is the new Red

[gleaming jolt]

[thorny wind]

Rather Blue and Leaf abandoned Red

[fading cradle]

blue kicked him out the gang

[gleaming jolt]

Siebold stopped Red from reaching the Hall of Fame screen!

[fading cradle]

siebold…

[gleaming jolt]

Siebold is literally salt to Melissa

Not in a Chefs sense

[fading cradle]

i HATE siebold

we should all just destroy siebold

FUCK siebold

[hushed burrow]

All of us?

Bit much don't you think

[sick inlet]

I hate no one more than Sidney from Hoenn. Everyone else is not a big problem

[gleaming jolt]

You mean you can't solo or grind a lot to solo him!
What's his type weakness?

[manic mica]

can anyone help me

[void lantern]

I used Sycamore, Ghetsis and Lillie against Drasna on my 3rd battle and also had Malva as my last with SS Blue, Cyrus and May.

So pretty similiar

[manic mica]

are there replacements for lillie and may?

[void lantern]

I'd switch Lillie with Leonora (because all she did for me was debuffing and tanking)

and for may, anything that removes or changes the weather. Acerola isn't the best option but at least you get rid of the sun

[manic mica]

is it true that you should never target the middle opponent in CL?

[void lantern]

I used Ghetsis btw just to para and drop stats, sycamore should be able to handle them

[manic mica]

sycamore as dps?

[void lantern]

depends honestly

[void lantern]

yep, that's how I did it too^^'

[manic mica]

i see, thanks!!

ill try this

[void lantern]

good luck! let me know if it worked ...or if it at least looked promising

[manic mica]

leer and noble roar strategy

literally did nothing

[manic mica]

i cant do malva tho

[void lantern]

can you upgrade cyrus through his legendary adventure chapter? how do your sync grids look like?

[manic mica]

I FUCKING DID IT

[true bloom]

There's either rock or ice every week

He has annoying Bug and Fairy weaknesses, Before Gladion I had no answer to his fairy stage (to solo) and I still can't ontype-solo his bug stage

[gleaming jolt]

You offtype solo it!

[sick inlet]

I use Arc Steven now
He basically solos any stage that I can't ontype

[gleaming jolt]

Must be 3/5 or above right?

[hushed burrow]

How do I do this 😭

Also do NC cs have any special rewards

[gleaming jolt]

Offtype or poison stall!

Don't stress it, everything will work around!

[gleaming jolt]

Speaking of which I have never done a Pasio Special 15k CSMM!

I will try to offtype it!

What's the weakness?

Rock!

[true bloom]

You didn't do the last one during Anni? The steel one

[true bloom]

You can offtype, I'm sure there are options XD

[gleaming jolt]

I don't remember, but if it's steel I must have done it!
Steel is the best roster!

[true bloom]

Yuppers it's steel

[thorny wind]

I've always offtyped Pasio Stadium lol

[true bloom]

You're just too pro

[thorny wind]

No I do not have enough units

[keen jasper]

I've on-typed all of the steel special CS

[gleaming jolt]

Oh I found it!
I forget everything

But I still don't remember if that was the first special stadium or not?

[true bloom]

The first special CS to ever exist? Nah there was Nate and Cheren special CS before with fairy and electric weakness

[true bloom]

[sick inlet]

While I think it's possible with less than 3/5
3/5 clears any cs stage for sure

[gleaming jolt]

I mean first one I did!
I think I did the previous ones on hard mode only!

[sharp willow]

To be fair, Alder's only stage is rock weak and they tend to like alternating him and Iris's stages

Theres also only 3 champion stages in unova at all

[true bloom]

cries because my Alola MC comes in late December and I don't have limited rock

[graceful axle]

the mastermode presets are always specced against physical? why? 😂 i assume you switch it out to special if you wanna attack with physical?

[vague solar]

Yep. they’re just like that to declutter the picture

Except for the first two 50 point damage reduction ones, use both of those. So long as you can max your crit, you ignore the damage reduction from that

[graceful axle]

awesome, good stuff
i was thinking of trying to get the 3000 option but i don't have enough ex units to do so, so starting to grind this stuff at 2500

[vague solar]

2500 is a good benchmark, you get everything important plus most of the bonus stuff

[graceful axle]

right right. i'll just start grinding stuff up to speed. let's say i've been very lazy towards stadium. same with villa, haven't ran that in forever and i'm certain i can almost one shot some of those (unless they made them stronger since release) but if i want cookies, there are the grind stages now 😂
eitherway, being lazy doesn't help with grinding this 😂

so i'll prolly pop in here a few times to see what kind of teams and what not are solid options, if i can't figure it out

[vague solar]

Oh uh, just a warning

They killed villa

It’s a 1 time thing now

Battle rally replaced it for a weekly endurance mode

[graceful axle]

oh yeah, i did that rally once and i was like, eh? that's it. didn't strike me as special or appealing?

i mean the rewards are okay, i suppose

[clear breach]

Yeah Battle Rally is mainly there to get the cake coins

What

[gleaming jolt]

[left storm]

It's dozens times better than villa that's for sure

[hushed burrow]

but no farmable cookies

without stamina

:(

i would much rather spend my stamina on events

but given the eevee daily rewards

might be the best time to farm them

[gleaming jolt]

Early game you should focus more on Codex books, level cap bottles instead of Cookies with stamina!
It's not a good idea to farm them with stamina!

Once you have enough supply of those things then maybe turn to Lucky Cookies, also the rates are bad for 5* cookies!
I think there are other better options for farming cookies!

[graceful axle]

maybe, i'll have to try it again. as i said, only tried once in the beginning XD

[fading cradle]

siebold deserves it

i HATE siebold so much

[hot fern]

https://streamable.com/7hfjfh

i'm too hype for his grid expansion so i used him this week, full hp params

[true bloom]

Nice showcase of his damage

[hushed burrow]

Like what?

[gleaming jolt]

Legendary Gauntlet!

Maybe a little bit from doing Battle Villa or Legendary Arena again and again after resetting!
Iirc I did that in my initial days but it is soooo boring I do not recommend it!

[hushed burrow]

We might not get any more :(

None two months ina row

[hushed burrow]

Legendary arena?

I didn't knwo that gave cookies

And villa is only limited :(

[hushed burrow]

Also aren't those deluxe cookies only?

[gleaming jolt]

Wait I might be wrong!

[gleaming jolt]

No it gives every type of cookies

[gleaming jolt]

Yeah it's a crap idea I know!

It's better to just acquire a good amount of Codex and Bottles then move to Cookies with stamina while waiting for Legendary Gauntlet!

[hushed burrow]

I mean I don't think im gonna be levelling to 140 anytime soon but lemme see how many level up materials I have

[gleaming jolt]

But it takes time to get settled in the game with every resource!

[hushed burrow]

Even LA?

[gleaming jolt]

No not LA

It was my mistake

LA don't give any cookies

[hushed burrow]

Ah ok

[hushed burrow]

This enough?

Also events give a good amount of these no?

Like 50 of these for 50 points

[weak sleet]

For the special champion stadium coming, is silver enough to beat blue? Who is blue designed for.

Please ping

[gleaming jolt]

Bottles are really good numbers!
About codexes I am not sure tbh! Because you said you didn't updated most of your pairs to 140!
You can figure it out yourself by updating some of your ace pairs to 140 gradually!
If you feel lacking Cookies more than these codexes, then go for it!

[clear breach]

Did you just use HP params? I wanna do showcases like this but don’t know if people add other params than HP

[hot fern]

ya

well not just hp

it was 3k points so i took some other stuff

ill send all my params in a sec

I could've taken SDR8 but simply forgot to lol

also depends on what kind of showcase you wanna do, stuff like all attack/offense would be better if you’re trying to show the speed in which they clear instead

or for a support, how well they can tank hyper offense

[hushed burrow]

Hmm alr thanks

[sick inlet]

What pair enters the battle already buffed and can hit aoe?

[left storm]

Eggus bonkus

[true bloom]

Stat increase? Geeta is one

[left storm]

Wanted to try 1/5 calem, feels pretty mediocre even with penny carrying him, probably because moonblast as best DPS sucks without big multipliers even Vs -6 spdef

The dahlia solo is hilarious because their sun boosts her sync anyway so half sync is really free with it

[hushed burrow]

rei

[hushed burrow]

Are these DD good enough for CS hard mode
