Extreme, Ultimate & Challenge Battles

[fading walrus]

Sad

[quick pewter]

Pretty sure I've just used all the ones I've gotten

Might have to try and drop Bertha for SSLear with this abomination grid LOL

[fading walrus]

Ok listen

You need the themes

Or just the clear

[quick pewter]

For now just the clear

[fading walrus]

Then SS lear + bertha + leaf should be enough

Lemme record it

[alpine quiver]

Seriously thinking of trying for better skill gear for Bertha

This is what I'm running

[quick pewter]

Maybe I should just throw SSEmmet at it
Fight fire with fire because this is god awful

I low-key hate that SSEmmet is actually doing some level of damage here ngl

[fading walrus]

Hurm

Guess any better support than Eevee is a free win

[alpine quiver]

Once I'm done with my class, I will try with SS Misty again

[quick pewter]

Leaf always gets wrecked by the max move

[fading walrus]

I'm having bertha tank

Not leaf

Sand castle 2 is all the difference

Also +6 Defs Vs +4

[quick pewter]

DIE.

Time for a ✨ fun new problem ✨
How the heck do I figure out themes now

Ig I still have to do the other battles so I'll just. Suffer later.

[fading walrus]

Well that also clears...ughhh 2 themes?

[quick pewter]

I wish I had omni candies. So bad rn.

4/5 arc Steven would make my life so easy

[fading walrus]

1/5 should be plenty enough

[quick pewter]

Idk how to clear it without these specific pieces

[fading walrus]

What stage you talking about

[quick pewter]

This one

I'll get to it later I'm just. Pain (TM)

[zealous dust]

hrm

[quick pewter]

This is the most stupid NCLeaf grid I've made in my life but it actually legitimately carried the first stage so I could do the sinnoh mission w/ Riley =,)

[noble sapphire]

Well I'm done for now.

Still trying to clear the Kanto, Johto, and MC missions, but nothing.

[nocturne arch]

its hard to beat trainers on the track part 3 but it’s difficult without the right unit.

i watch this one video where it use SS Cynthia fighter rei and falkner. Now i have to replace one unit for alona

and btw, i missed out the unit that im trying to get. So what are my options?

actually i got a quite few more

[quick pewter]

I am officially halfway

This doesn't look halfway but I like just made the list so

[quick pewter]

I don't know your roster but if you happen to have SSLear and Arc Steven they can carry basically any unit through part 3

[nocturne arch]

I’m talking about the mission that needs to be done

Right now I need alola, body builder, and trial giver

[cosmic token]

Bea can give Bodybuilder

[paper mural]

Kiawe can fullfill those 3 at once. Kiawe + SS Lear + the third that deal dmg.

[cedar nest]

Is there a secret to Challenge Trainers on the Tracks Part 6 beyond just having everyone with antitoxin/using safeguard?

[zealous dust]

debuff spdef

[cedar nest]

I've had no issues doing the missions for the other ones, but for some reason I can't seem to kill that Weezing :V

[paper mural]

Debuff spdef so they don't hit hard. Can be ignored if your team kill fast tho.

[cosmic token]

1st try but did need some luck.

[zealous dust]

im currently struggling to get a battle facility foe thru that stage

[cedar nest]

I beat it, I'm just trying to finish off the missions. The rest of them I've been able to do pretty easily

Most of them I've been able to run Arc Steven + Arc Cynthia/Lance, and using the last slot to finish the missions, but for some reason they're kicking my butt on this stage

[rotund oasis]

Kiawe if you have his Lucky Cookie.

he's got all three.

[cosmic token]

Should be able to sack Morgan/Dana/Evelyn/Nita

[true lagoon]

do you have lodge leaf

[quick pewter]

No

[gentle wharf]

Morgan’s gimmick is dropping attack and spamming icy wind?

[true lagoon]

she debuffs you a lot gets a dps multiplier if any stat is dropped and has a bunch of aoe stat drops/stat leech

main focus is defense

[gentle wharf]

Eesh

How many impervious units are there… hold on

[paper mural]

Both Dragon MFs have it.

[true lagoon]

its designed for alt leon

[paper mural]

It's designed for SS Lear.

[gentle wharf]

LMAO

[noble sapphire]

I BEAT IT WITH MC & JOHTO

So all that's left is Kanto.

[nocturne arch]

Do you know what lucky skill I need to look for?

[slow sky]

Just pair her with the almighty and problem solved

[rotund oasis]

his Lucky Cookie was the one that guards him from Status Conditions & Interference.

[noble sapphire]

So...what now?

Gonna need to beat the stage with a Kanto unit.

[paper mural]

Use a Kanto support rather than NC Rosa I suppose.

[stable storm]

ya all ready for the new ub?

what does mind leech do again

[stable storm]

go ss lear redlax and ss gio or any better ground that you have

[noble sapphire]

The only other one I have is Maxie.

Well, the one that's built-up.

Problem is interference.

[stable storm]

I kinda forgot that was a requirement ngl

bertha could probably do it if you have her built@noble sapphire

[noble sapphire]

She is 5/5 6*EX, but I wouldn't know a good build for her.

Honestly, I wouldn't know how to build any of these units effectively.

I do have her with Status Immunity & Escape Artist.

[fringe stratus]

does mind/armor leech increase def/spdef even if the drop didn't happen?

[jaunty light]

so new ub is alt leon propaganda and arc lance i guess

[clever widget]

Leech (SC Diantha’s) doesn’t

Drain (H Whitney’s) does

[hasty bough]

I DID IT

By the skin of my teeth

[sacred sphinx]

My problem is they have tough skin 5

[agile wave]

[nocturne arch]

Ok i have to do this one mission before moving on to part 4

[paper mural]

I used Grushia. If you only have unflappable on everyone his bmoves can focus on negate the left move so no one get sleep.

[true lagoon]

does nita sound possible with fall shauntal 1/5 sina and nc blue 3/5

[halcyon mango]

Wow
What is Irida used for here?

[true lagoon]

probably more debuffs

since with irida it covers all 5

[forest aurora]

Man, I just had a brilliant realization that only got shattered when I noticed I don’t have the candy: 3/5 Rika would be amazing with Courtney for the Subway twins

Ground zone extension 5 and most importantly: team Status condition immunity while a ground zone is active

The only issue is I am 1 support Candy short of making that possible

If I could get even a single support coin I’d have it

[tulip stream]

idk what to make of morgan

She needs def /spdef buffs and she just debuffs you?

and she kills you if you are debuffed

oh boy

i can see sst red being decent here but idk what else to use

[forest aurora]

Probably have to bank on the Impervious grid passive/passive to get around that, I’d think. I think NC blue gets it in his lineup and a couple of others do as well…

[tulip stream]

and they drop your acc on entry

[forest aurora]

As far as dropping her defenses, that’s where I’d be less confident… most pairs with that only focus on either spdef or def

[paper mural]

Ppl think Alt Leon is the main focus.

Arc Leon debuts, OG Leon gets a custom cookie and Alt Leon is the main focus of the newest ub.
The next month is indeed Leon month.

[true lagoon]

shes for alt leon

[true lagoon]

he is

piercing blows + impervious and consistent def debuff with his b move

[tulip stream]

unfortunately mine is 1/5 forever

[true lagoon]

do i need sina's exr for nita

or do i need to 3/5 shauntal instead

cuz only 2 weather procs feels very restrictive

considering how aggressive nita is with sand

[olive hull]

There. Just needed to EX Role Cynthia for it to work.

[forest aurora]

I am so close to beating this, but I lose the confusion right before I win.

I hate that this fight is such an RNGfest

[forest aurora]

OOOOH YEAH!!! FINALLY! The stars finally aligned and I got the fatal kill. Please never let me have to clear something like this again!

Emmet was getting quite close to Third Sync nuking my team, thank goodness NC Blue finally got his last gobsmack in while I was close to Courtney’s Sync.

The big secret I figured out after heavily investing in Courtney’s grid is that Earthen Opening Sync is extremely useful in reducing the chance Emmet has of paralyzing the team, and Rika’s ground extension massively protecting the team. maybe it might be better to let them target NC Blue, but having 4 uses of Ground Zone made it reliable enough that I eventually got a clear.

[olive hull]

This team feels like it has a bit more wiggle room. Still haven't been able to win with it, but it gets close. Just keep whiffing the crit on the sync.

[forest aurora]

I dont think I ever crit any of my syncs. Pretty much had to bank on Blue triggering the Gobsmack after I set up and had Mega Camerupt (or right as Courtney Syncs). Idk how likely crit syncs are, but it really just needs the damage reducing passives to not be active when you drop the big hit

I feel like it would be more convenient if I could have equipped Critical strike, but this doesn’t do enough damage reliably to avoid hitting second sync, so Courtney has to equip vigilance to protect against it

[olive hull]

Only once I was actually able to nuke center. But I couldn't keep up to take out the side quickly. Once you get statused, it's over

[forest aurora]

Yeah. That’s why I had Courtney’s Earthen Sync grid passive

I found that 4 charges on the extended ground zone (which should hopefully allow you to save NC Blue roosts) was enough to make sure I don’t get statuses before I got the kill.

First ground zone has to be popped immediately by Courtney, Second should be used by Rika B move a full set of your moves after first sync (cooldown should be 7-6 when you use it), third is Courtney’s sync which is the third sync you use, and the last has to be manually timed from my experience.

[olive hull]

If only I could just slap an EX Role on Courtney to help close the gap

[forest aurora]

She’ll get one eventually, but that time isn’t now. :<

[olive hull]

Oh yeah, I never even use Courtney to set zone. Maybe I should have one up for first sync. Maybe get the side down in HP more so I can take it out faster later

[forest aurora]

You want it up ASAP so that Rika’s grid passive protects you against all the statuses

Usually it’ll last long enough most sync moves should be done in a ground zone anyways.

Bulldozes is where most of the damage should ideally be coming from with Chase Down 2 and Hunters instinct

Sync move whichever twin is vulnerable (as in confused/flinching) for maximum damage. If both are, aim it into Ingo, and aim it into Ingo if you think it can kill anyways

Courtney being EX would help a lot, but luckily it isn’t a hard requirement.

[olive hull]

Oh, looks like Rika's status protect skill is 3/5...

[forest aurora]

Both the protect and the Ground extension are tied to 3/5.

This is the grid I used for Rika in case it helps any. It does have her energy unlocked to 66, just to keep that in mind.

You can probably make it without the energy expansion by dropping slippery 1, since iirc they have piercing gaze

[agile wave]

Just weather change... So i can save up cynthia's sandstorm for the last

[halcyon mango]

I see

hm

[olive hull]

Chandeleur is definitely the more dangerous one to leave alive. Can't take any chances. For this run, I didn't even sync with Rika.

[golden steppe]

lol imagine if they added this stage to battle rally

[olive hull]

It would still be too hard even as a stage 10

[stable tundra]

this is an extreme battle so it won't be added to rally

[olive hull]

So now I just need to clear it a third time with a Sygna Suit. Since I don't have SS Giovanni, is SS Lear the only other relevant choice?

[stable tundra]

him + a tank + a Ground dmg dealer should work

as long as you keep circle up

[olive hull]

Ground damage dealer being Courtney again I guess. Normal Cynthia doesn't work without sand and Groudon has become obsolete...

[stable storm]

bertha would be the most optimal if your tank doesn't trap

[olive hull]

Chip damage hurts the team though

I wish Groudon were better

[paper mural]

If you have Rika Cortney is prob better yes bc you want extend Ground zone as long as possible.
But without Rika Bertha compresses more thing in her kit for this fight.

[olive hull]

But at least I'm finally free! SS Lear pretty good.

Wrong screen there but yeah they can do it

There's the money shot

It really just comes down to flinch luck. This run, I was able to stop the Wild Charge on Electric Terrain. That one is crucial because otherwise it knocks out my tank and usually ends it there. But holding on from there, it's enough to push through

[echo jetty]

Is there a video for this clear as I cant seem to do it even in 37 attempts

[valid raft]

Do we have the pastebin for the upcoming events?

[plush gale]

Been Busy but now Here it is. https://youtu.be/BNXf8sJ-J44

[manic peak]

Whats the easiest team against ultimate giovanni in your opinion?

[lunar sedge]

Akari, SC Zinnia and a support

[shrewd marten]

Akari with anyone

[alpine quiver]

Sorry about that! I fell asleep

I have the video. I just wanted to wait until I had all missions done before uploading

[nocturne arch]

ok someone suggested grushia for finishing up part 4 i dont have a unflinching lucky skill. Should i use the lucky skill?

[warm haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sKVK2r7JeM

i knew hilbert was good

[amber zodiac]

Mmm... Elaine would work too, right?
That and I have Sygna Giovanni at 2/5 EX, I can give him role as well.

[calm sand]

Elaine would actually be better if she’s well invested

She has both Status Immunity and Escape Artist on grid

[amber zodiac]

I have her at 3/5 + EX.
And I got Sygna Giovanni to do decent damage when pairing those two with seasonal Roxanne.

Might need to rework Elaine's grid, though.

[olive hull]

I had Elaine's grid set for spatk debuffing

[amber zodiac]

Okay, I regridded her, and I'm kind of getting somewhere, but the third member needs a good impact

I need someone who can improve Elaine's survivability.

[snow spruce]

needing spdef debuffs on Morgan (at least -3, or -5 if post-sync .. or more) is kind of a pain, its not as common as def debuffs
Mind Games 2 LS helps, but I have 0 deluxe cookies lol. what a terrible system to lock them behind LG

[formal matrix]

So steel team will get 14/14 UBs easily I suppose

[snow spruce]

Both 13/13 teams will easily. And a lot of the 12/13 and 11/13 ones too

[formal matrix]

I can also see Morgan being duo’d by some stuff

[paper mural]

Steel will prob do 17/17 eventually bc I dont think they'll make Bug and Ghost too hard considering their roasters.

[low coral]

It doesn't need to be hard, just needs to be specific

[amber zodiac]

Well, I took out Emmet, at least, but lost there.

[cloud badge]

Is this a decent team?
And what lucky skills to use for them?

[noble sapphire]

Another few attempts for the Kanto mission ending in failure on my end.

I really am tempted to take SS-Giovanni to 2/5 just to have some extra modifiers.

And 3/5 for Critical Crit.

[golden steppe]

Are you able to candy Elaine to 3/5? She unlocks Status Immunity at 3/5, you should automatically have Escape Artist from 1/5 grid

[alpine quiver]

SS Grimsley might just end up being my goat for the sygna suit mission

The def down and flinch chances are crucial and what Misty lacked

[crude kite]

still stuck on part 6 of the pasio subway 🥲 idk how to clear the poison

[golden steppe]

I just put Anti-Toxin on my pairs

[alpine quiver]

I'm about to crash out 😭

[crude kite]

might do that atp, i really hate replacing cs2 though 🥲

[alpine quiver]

OH MY GOD

I DID IT

[golden steppe]

Is this a sign that I can do it too

[alpine quiver]

ALL MISSIONS DONE F2P

[golden steppe]

I still can’t beat it even with this team

😭

[alpine quiver]

SS GRIMSLEY, MY GOAT

[cloud badge]

Sadly nope

[stable storm]

what are ya all's plans for morgan

[formal matrix]

Arc Steven, ss Steven, super awakening og Steven

[stable storm]

gratz

I have nc Nate but I wanna do a double Lear clear on morgan

[stable storm]

the ASSSSSASS team

[formal matrix]

ASSSSSSAS

[golden steppe]

NO I WAS SO CLOSE

BERTHA STOP NOT CRITTING

[alpine quiver]

Ty!

[golden steppe]

NOOOOOOOO

[alpine quiver]

Arc Steven, Arc Lance, and a third

Idk who yet. I was very busy with the Pasio Subway :P

[final yacht]

you guys are beating UBs ?

[alpine quiver]

YOU'RE SO CLOSE
DO. NOT. BACK. DOWN.

They probably want you to use Battle Tower Leon, but he's only at 1/5 for me, lmao

[earnest panther]

Can you give me the specs on your team?

[golden steppe]

Ok so

Idk what to do

I let myself take paralysis so I don’t get affected by burn

But then Bertha gets trapped

I would put Escape Artist

But CS2 is helping me out

So I can’t do that

Should I grid Escape Artist?

[earnest panther]

Yes

[alpine quiver]

Sure thing

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=020700064000&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=17011701&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBggLDhAZGhscHSUnKi8&v1=015400045001&s1=5&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13016303&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBggKCxUYHSAjJScqLS4v&v2=004810031900&s2=5&l2=140&r2=6&p2=0&a2=18040702&t2=4444&g2=AAECAwQFBgcIERQXGicqKy0

And skill gear (I actually had to use it here... 😟)

[golden steppe]

Ig I’ll remove sand sliver

Slinger

[earnest panther]

I do feel like this would have been better but good work lyndis!

[alpine quiver]

Probably, with the benefit of hindsight

Optimizations could always be made. I'm just glad it's over now ^^

I don't think I ever went for it because if I did get trapped, that also meant I was status'd in some way (I needed WW3 on Bertha)

And, if I was status'd, then the run was lost

[sacred haven]

This battle is Arc Suit Cynthia needed territory

[dim lance]

Good, hampered by MR/Thorton matchups

[earnest panther]

It can be done without her, but is much harder

[dim lance]

I think tosakinto himself has his order of uhh

Calem > HIlda > HIlbert?

well, he thinks Selene is the worst UB eevee

mostly because Dark has shitty partners

and that Elio's the best atm?

[paper mural]

He think Calem the best mostly only bc SS Mina tho.

[dim lance]

Not really

Compressing synchro healing + attack/special attack/spdef is quite big

He's the worst for solo play but great given his cast and other options

[gilded finch]

Do i really need irida for nita

[paper mural]

Depends on what other units you have. For example Arc Cynthia doesn't pair with Irida that well.
In a vacuum Irida is the best counter but still need another speed debuffer or NC Red.

[gilded finch]

I was trying this earlier

https://youtu.be/C2flch6iaTk?si=ovX9VG8ot-FnFKKS

[golden steppe]

FINALLY

I DID IT

[gilded finch]

Which ones that one

[golden steppe]

Now to do Johto and Sygna Suit

[paper mural]

You don't need Irida if you can replicate that team, but Irida does make you suffer less bc that team is incredibly rng heavy.

[alpine quiver]

YAYAYAYAYAA

[golden steppe]

If only I had him a higher move level…

[gilded finch]

Yeah thats been my problem

Its a mix of quad-queuing once and getting all the right flinches

I hate that hyper beam

But the team is perfectly replicated

[paper mural]

And never miss on egg Lapras' Icy Wind (95 acc)

[gilded finch]

Oh yeah

I dont know who else could take up lapras’s spot

Ive tried a strat with fall roxanne too

[golden steppe]

Any chance a 2/5 Gio could clear it?

[stable tundra]

I wouldn't candy him to clear the stage

Is Sygna Suit your last mission?

[golden steppe]

Nope, I need Johto and Sygna Suit

[stable tundra]

I'm surprised that both supports can't carry him

[marble portal]

No, strictly speaking.

[stable tundra]

What was the issue that prevents him from working?

[marble portal]

I did Oleana/SS N/SS Morty

[golden steppe]

Actually.. I haven’t tried yet

[marble portal]

Irida and NC Red do make it easier tho

[golden steppe]

I’ll try first

[stable tundra]

Please do

[gilded finch]

I have ss n but hes 1/5 or 2/5 i forgot

[marble portal]

Oh

I have him 3/5 EXR

he loves that

Freeze Shock the first endure and then sync went to the second

[gilded finch]

Would irida be half as good if she didnt have ice zone

Just hail

Why couldnt SS N get weather lol

[golden steppe]

Wait no I think this is possible

He just needs to crit on sync

He missed the crits both times

Both on Emmet

Once on Ingo

Gauge is a bit of an issue but I can probably rotate between Elaine’s quick attack and TM

[stable tundra]

[golden steppe]

So close

Another issue is that trap disappears too fast

On Ingo

[alpine quiver]

what missions are you attempting?

[golden steppe]

WOOH I DID IT

[golden steppe]

Sygna Suit and Johto but I finally did it

[surreal ibex]

i can't even beat the first one lol, nice work

[golden steppe]

I underestimated Giovanni

Idk why I thought he would do the same damage as Bertha with sand tomb

[formal matrix]

Place your bet here, can arc Leon defeat Anabel in sun?

[alpine quiver]

Yayyy!
congrats

[alpine quiver]

I do not see why he would

fluid fortification is a huge wall

[gilded finch]

Nita UB makes me rage

Im starting to consider using some special feathers

[icy otter]

what are the modifiers for ingo and emmet? can't find it on pins :v

[formal matrix]

I mean allow teammates for debuffing, just have to defeat Anabel in sun.

[alpine quiver]

https://youtu.be/zGiQQh-AjPU?si=HscC6_FjugpESlEt

finally

[gilded finch]

I never thought i would have to time a flinch

And avoid getting nullification slightly earlier

Maybe i should get a better bracelet

Idek

[left crow]

What units can nullify both statuses an interference? I can only give immunity either or via lucky cookies

[alpine quiver]

Kiawe with his special cookie

[golden steppe]

You mostly want Status Immunity as both Ingo and Emmet give either paralysis or burn that then spread to allies

[left crow]

Yes but also i want interference immunity

What im looking for is a unit that has both

[paper mural]

Mostly you need to roll escape artist ls on unit that alr has status immunity like 3/5 Arc Steven or 4/5 Redlax.

[stable storm]

can't arc Lance be debuffed or does he have ways of preventing debuffs

[alpine quiver]

He doesn't have a way to prevent those, iirc

I think I'll just use NC Blue as my third to keep him topped off

I'll be honest, I haven't read her entire description, though

[stable storm]

so this ebe set, including all the 49 missions are fully f2pable now right?

[alpine quiver]

Yes

[stable storm]

he has sure hit right?

asl

[alpine quiver]

Yes

[stable storm]

ok then with nc blue and ass he should be fine

if you miss the enemies gain a ton of health back

[alpine quiver]

O h

Ridicure?

[final yacht]

ridicure 9

[alpine quiver]

Damn

Ah well
I can make it, hopefully

[stable storm]

acuity is gonna be needed if your pair doesn't have sure hit or start with status drop immunity

[alpine quiver]

I was thinking of throwing Zerena at her, but she gets Impervious after sync

[final yacht]

piercing gaze too so it's "fine"

[stable storm]

enemies drop accuracy by 6 on entry btw

[final yacht]

4

[stable storm]

is mid without bedazzle?

[alpine quiver]

Dios mio

[final yacht]

ye

[stable storm]

oo

[final yacht]

I havent seen it in the pastebin at least

[alpine quiver]

Oh, yeah
Didn't even realize Zerena had Piercing Gaze

I swear, if they have an accuracy drop sync multiplier

[stable storm]

you just need to worry about getting bad stat drops initially when attacking and getting hit by aoe

[final yacht]

they have a any stat dropped sync mult

[stable storm]

they have if stat down everything up 9 mult

[final yacht]

as well as dps mult

[stable storm]

and spam aoe

like icy wind, eq and rock slide

also a side has guard spec

[alpine quiver]

Dios mio...

[stable storm]

the enemies drop 2 defensive stats and 3 random stats (that maybe double drops if double drop works with them) every attack right?

[stable storm]

ASL should be able to survive as long as his defenses are still up even if his stat is down on your team I think

Unless his wonderscale passive doesn't work on syncs

he should be able to tank and recover right back to full

your biggest worry would be the enemy rolling multiple attack and special attack drops

@alpine quiver btw what move levels

[alpine quiver]

All are 3/5 EXR

[stable storm]

you might be fucked when enemy uses guard spec if ASS and ASL are only 3/5

[alpine quiver]

I think I'll be fine. If I don't get it done with Arc Lance, I'll just try Zerena

As long as it's not Palmer's UB again, I'll be ok :)

[stable storm]

you will probably need to rush down the chomp

[stable storm]

Zerena ASL ASS might be the most optimal for you ngl

nc blue and ASS can only drop defenses by -8 total iirc

and enemies become invincible to non piercing blows units if their sp def, def or attack is up

[alpine quiver]

We'll see what happens, I suppose

I can't wait

[stable storm]

ub is frail tho

only 530k with 1 endure

and 250k sides

[alpine quiver]

I want a Steel-weak UB so I can go nuts with 10/5 Steven

Even though I bet he will get crushed because these UBs are something else lmao

[stable storm]

ASS will crush a steel weak ub

[alpine quiver]

I meant base Steven

[stable storm]

if ghost and bug ubs aren't harder to off gimmick than nemo or have a gimmick that's counterable by steel steel should have an all ub clear

[agile wave]

What's the best team for morgan ub

[paper mural]

Ghost ub: another opening fissure bc F Phobe and SSR Cynthia have dodge move.

[lunar sedge]

Lmfao you could literally just bring og Leon or Kabu for the mission

Or Hop + silver + status pair

Nvr just saw negative status change

Blaine but his burn rate is atrocious

[dim lance]

why is the leon battle so fat, lol

[paper mural]

Bc he gets blessed by the pm god.

[primal leaf]

is AS LEon even that good for the Leon battle? he doesn't have a Rock attack and doesn't poison... ?

[gilded finch]

lmao

Why is the leon fight legit hella hard

I was using ss diantha and nc silver

[lunar sedge]

Good ol SS Lear+ASS

[golden steppe]

So damn close

[paper mural]

The fight is about beating Arc Leon's ass so it's not possible to make it fire weak.
Our Arc Leon can still buff 2 fire positive rebuffs to help surviving.
The poison is most likely gimmick for Milo. (He has got hit poison the opponent in grid.)

[lunar sedge]

Or you can just throw Selene Alt and call it a day

[gilded finch]

What move level is your diantha

[formal crescent]

How the hell do I deal with Ingo and Emmet?

[golden steppe]

3/5

[final yacht]

classic steel team still beats them

[gilded finch]

Damn im cooked

My diantha only 1/5

my nc silver is 3/5 r

What can i do with that

Should i pair him with arc steven

Instead of nc blue

[formal crescent]

I don't have any arc pairs

[white ledge]

Do they drop status or something?

[golden steppe]

Sigh I was hoping I could get 3/5 SS Lear this month but seems like I can’t 😞

[rain sorrel]

Lodge Steven is special Rock

[formal crescent]

How do I fight Ingo and Emmet without Arc Pairs? Especially when they spread status

Paralysis, burn, AND trap 😭

[lunar sedge]

Status immunity and escape artist lucky skill

[gilded finch]

OHHHHHH THEY NEED STATUS

LMFAOOOOO

[lunar sedge]

Elaine is the best for this

[gilded finch]

What if no elaine

does klara work

[formal crescent]

I do not have her either 😭

[gilded finch]

What to do

[white ledge]

every steven having a use except anni

[formal matrix]

Not bad (this is for Nita btw)

[gilded finch]

I almost had ittttt

[bright python]

do the enemies in the arc shit leon fight have some kind of passive that invalidates physical attacks?

[gilded finch]

Yeah

[alpine quiver]

They just have high resistance to them

Use special moves

[gilded finch]

Fuck thats true why am i even using silver

😭

[alpine quiver]

LMAO

I was using Geeta off rip because I assumed she could do it

Status and rock moves? Geeta, baby

[sturdy egret]

You have to beat him with two pairs alive

[alpine quiver]

HELL NO
she could not even crack 75% 😭

[gilded finch]

so who do i use thennnnnn

[velvet raven]

Is there a guide to each of the battle subway challenges?

Dunno what to do

[alpine quiver]

Depends on what your goal is
If it's to F2P everything, I've got all missions done

If you do not care, I'm sure others have uploaded guides ^^

[velvet raven]

I just don’t know what each of the battles restrictions are haha, like: “this stage you want to use physical attackers and apply a status condition” or something

[paper mural]

Arc Leon fight.

[alpine quiver]

Bruh
I had 3/5 Arc Lance and didn't think to use him

I'm so dumb LMAO

[golden steppe]

Nvm guys I did it

[sturdy egret]

awesome

i knew i got you on a daily for a reason, lance…

[alpine quiver]

On the battle prep screen, it shows you the tips for every area. I hope that helps!

[velvet raven]

Oh right, I thought those were things to look out for. Thanks

[gilded finch]

Leon sucksssss

Easy

[valid raft]

Holy hell man

The fact that the unit made for this fight is Alt. Selene is something else

[alpine quiver]

Now
To try to F2P the stage

[gilded finch]

Its harder for physical attacks

frfr

I just realized i offtyped it

[rotund oasis]

Thats more like it

[valid raft]

Diantha's 2nd nuke left him at 1%

With SEUN too

[rotund oasis]

Oh i keep forgetting about seun of geeta lulz

Sentry Entry x3 sucks though.

[valid raft]

I somehow managed to pull through with my rock zones wearing off, but it's only thanks to Blue

[formal matrix]

The only arc unit you need in this game is arc Steven.

[alpine quiver]

Lmao

[foggy scarab]

Well, that last stage with Ingo & Emmet some kinda bs, idk how their trap went through when my SS Blue had Escape Artist...I'm probably not paying enough attention tho

[alpine quiver]

If your SS Blue had Escape Artist and was still trapped, then he didn't have Escape Artist

[valid raft]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-24966265

[foggy scarab]

Well...then I don't know what's making the trap effect come through because he's spec'd on Status Immunity on the grid with LS Escape Artist...I'll just power through and find a good combo ig

[noble sapphire]

Sorry for the ping, but how did you do the Kanto fight?

[alpine quiver]

I used a team of Lodge Jasmine, Bertha, and Leaf

It came down to a very lucky Staggering 2 proc on Leaf's Tackle in order to prevent a Heat Wave from Ingo

Absolutely every team I used for the missions can be found here in my video

https://youtu.be/zGiQQh-AjPU?si=2WCpuNAMXUPD_Jma

[noble sapphire]

Do you think one of those units could be replaced with someone like SS-Giovanni or Maxie to make it “easier”?

Mainly for SE Damage?

[alpine quiver]

I think it could work. But, do keep in mind that I never actually tried the team

Speed might be an issue, though

[noble sapphire]

still wish SS-Gio had Crit Freebie in his grid
Makes sense.

I'll check out the video in a bit.

[golden steppe]

Doesn’t he?

Oh wait no

Critical hit move = sure crit next

[noble sapphire]

Critical Crit, yeah.

[alpine quiver]

The enemies must have some kind of status change or their defenses are tripled

And, they cast a lot of status conditions and changes

So, that kind of limits who you can move around

[noble sapphire]

I do have Escape Artist gridded & Status Immunity unlocked on Bertha, assuming I use her as my tank.

But I see in the video that Lodge Jasmine is the tank.

[amber zodiac]

I'm getting somewhere with the following set-up:
*3/5 EX Elaine that avoids status
*3/5 EX NC Leaf with role
*2/5 EX Sygna Giovanni
I've managed to take Emmet down a few times, but if Elaine gets defeated, it goes south due to more status and Ingo's (I assume) AOE spam.

NC Leaf has a decent off-type sync plus the double multiplier, which helps out Giovanni's damage.
Plus the potions for Elaine.

[noble sapphire]

IDK if I can upgrade Lodge Jasmine to 6*EX or Lv. 150.

[alpine quiver]

I chose her because she already had Interference Immunity and Flameproof at base iirc?

Plus, easy Endurance

I wanted Bertha to be my DPS

And, the fact that Bertha can lower Emmet's Atk. meant that Lodge Jasmine could survive a little better

[noble sapphire]

Makes sense.

Guess I can copy the team as best I can, but I can't really EX or 150 Lodge Jasmine.

[golden steppe]

Surprised you haven’t beaten them yet, how much times are you syncing with Elaine & Leaf?

[dim lance]

Lol

[amber zodiac]

Once each for multipliers.
I've only tried this team yesterday.

[dim lance]

Hyper Beam doesn't even hurt

[alpine quiver]

I upgraded her fully because I found that I kinda needed her to be at max survivability in that specific setup

If there's another comp, I'm sure it's possible without upgrading her

Oops
Forgot to set the reply @noble sapphire

[golden steppe]

Try syncing with 1 support and then the rest of times sync with Gio

[noble sapphire]

Makes sense.

I'll try to see what I can do with the team.

[alpine quiver]

Best of luck!

[amber zodiac]

Mmm...
Okay, so Leaf and no Elaine.
I have material for getting Giovanni to 150 and role if that makes a huge difference.
I also assume that I need to take Ingo down first.

[golden steppe]

Personally I don’t think it does, I’ve beaten it with this team

Synced with Steven once and rest of times with Gio

I saved the max move for Ingo once I killed Emmet

[amber zodiac]

Mmm, okay.
I mean, it "could" help, but I'll keep trying without for now.

[golden steppe]

Alrighty, good luck !

[amber zodiac]

I don't expect I'll get that title with the Sinnoh requirement, alas. Ah well...

[alpine quiver]

No Bertha?

[amber zodiac]

I have her, but I don't see myself winning with her replacing NC Leaf's contributions.

[alpine quiver]

Have you actually tried using a team with Bertha?

Bertha sets her own status change on the opponents
Not to mention, she deals on-type damage

[golden steppe]

I love how frustrating these battles are

That’s what makes it fun

And then the satisfaction when you beat it

😮‍💨

[alpine quiver]

That's what kept me going through every battle

I knew it was possible

So many failures. So many teams

[novel fog]

What's a good team to beat that Leon event? why is he actually somewhat difficult

[alpine quiver]

But, it was all in the search for the run

[alpine quiver]

I beat him with Arc Steven, NC Cheren, and Geeta

[novel fog]

My Cheren is 1/5 and I don't have Geeta

[golden steppe]

I beat him with Oleana, Arc Steven & SS Lear

[novel fog]

Bet

[alpine quiver]

Oleana, my beloved

[golden steppe]

2/5 Lear but pretty sure it’s doable 1/5

[stable tundra]

question why is SS Lear necessary

i haven't seen the details yet

[novel fog]

Mine is also 2/5

[alpine quiver]

Prevents stats down? I think he does that?

And special damage

[novel fog]

He does yeah

[stable tundra]

oh i heard that there is burn

[golden steppe]

Circle also prevents status conditions from being applied

[golden steppe]

Yes

[stable tundra]

is it aoe

because i lack Lear

[alpine quiver]

Hate Wave, Fire Blast, and Inferno

[golden steppe]

From my experience it seems only Fire Blast and Inferno burn you

[stable tundra]

Hate Wave 😭

[golden steppe]

I could’ve been lucky and Heat Wave just didn’t burn me

[alpine quiver]

Hate Wave has its burn odds cut because it's AOE
But, it's still a non-zero chance

[golden steppe]

Yeh

[noble sapphire]

Hmm...

[novel fog]

Ty!

[stable tundra]

anyone tried sync nuke base Roxanne

girl has Surging Sand 5

[alpine quiver]

"Nuke"

[novel fog]

Sync itch

[stable tundra]

it's non zero

[warm haven]

Could you test go much damage leon takes from sun Anabel?

[stable tundra]

so it counts

[formal matrix]

I tried. With a Nobel roar from anni N, Leon lost more than 60% hp from Anabel’s eruption

First move I mean

[warm haven]

[loud adder]

I guess the Steel team's gonna be the only one to beat Anabel with Sun.

[formal matrix]

And then he survived the heat wave from the side with a silver of hp

[alpine quiver]

Surging Sand is just attack moves

[formal matrix]

And then it’s potion spam until the team gets nuked by Anabel sync

Steel team has two potion users so they do have more chance to keep themselves in good health

[stable tundra]

ik

[alpine quiver]

😭

[noble sapphire]

...

what the actual fuck is that Blessed Deity fight

[rotund oasis]

they've got 3x Sentry Entry...

and that chunk of HP is really bad :<

[noble sapphire]

Can DeNA stop being such money-grubbing asses already?

[rotund oasis]

i used NC Blue + Geeta + Selene Alt 3R. Geeta becomes a stat debuffer + has impervious

[stable storm]

did the Leon fight feel a lot easier than the previous arc battles to anyone else

[noble sapphire]

It's arguably harder.

[rotund oasis]

Selene doesnt care, she's just there to sync and use her Circle + then use her BMove twice .-.;

[lunar sedge]

It's easier me thinks

[rotund oasis]

honestly, i think i could've killed him with Selene's 1st Bmove activation or her 1st sync using Geeta's Trainer move o.o;

[noble sapphire]

Actually, correction.

[lunar sedge]

Just offtype with your strongest special DPS/nuke

[noble sapphire]

It's definitely harder.

[stable storm]

eh

[noble sapphire]

Yeah.

[alpine quiver]

I don't even remember the other Arc fights lmao

[stable storm]

wasn't the only gimmick rebuff, robust physique and being fat?

[lunar sedge]

Pretty much

[rotund oasis]

oh were they ice weak or something?

[lunar sedge]

Someone already did lodge Steven clear

Lol

[formal matrix]

Leon got frozen at the end of the battle and stove has to fight for him lol

[rotund oasis]

i dont have it in my ebe sheet lol.

[noble sapphire]

It was Dragon/Fire.

And there was only one other Blessed by a Deity fight.

[alpine quiver]

There's a sheet for these battles?

[noble sapphire]

https://pastebin.com/7bfqcaie

[alpine quiver]

I want to see the Pasio Subway one for reasons 🫡

[alpine quiver]

Oh, pff

[noble sapphire]

Control + F "Challenge: Those Blessed by a Deity"

[rotund oasis]

i didnt actually check the one for the pasio subway one

[alpine quiver]

I thought like
A doc

[noble sapphire]

These were Arc Cynthia's passives.

[lunar sedge]

Yeah nah fluid fort always significantly more annoying to deal with

Leon is just fat with easier to bypass gimmick

[rotund oasis]

based on my sheet, i sent NC Blue, NC Red and Irida against them.

[noble sapphire]

Steven and Lance's passives:

Yeah, nah, I think Leon's is harder.

[alpine quiver]

They really love Fluid Fortification

[noble sapphire]

Cuz Poison is a shit type.

[lunar sedge]

Poison????

[alpine quiver]

Poison is
Good?

Geeta
Klara
Oleana
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Some others, probably

[stable storm]

any status works on Leon and poison is one of the strongest types

[stable tundra]

definitely better than Normal and Bug lol

[lunar sedge]

Brother poison is at it's peak

[stable storm]

ss roxie

[stable tundra]

and even Ghost and Dark

[alpine quiver]

Right LMAO

[stable storm]

emma

[lunar sedge]

It's treated better than half the type in the game

[stable tundra]

Buy Gall

[noble sapphire]

Poison is trash for me.

[stable tundra]

not for others, tho

[alpine quiver]

Fell off a cliff after Geeta, I fear

But still good

[lunar sedge]

Why are you even using poison

Just burn or para

[stable storm]

other status also work on Leon

[alpine quiver]

Momm Team Rocket Ariana

[stable storm]

not just poison

based

[stable tundra]

Ariana Grande

[noble sapphire]

Tooltip recommends Poison.

[stable tundra]

[rotund oasis]

EXR for Ball Guy when? i need him to be a bit more tankier. 😮

[stable storm]

robust physique deactivates with any status

[alpine quiver]

Ooh
Where can I access that site?

Is that just where you list out your units and stuff?

[stable storm]

[rotund oasis]

pretty muych

[stable tundra]

Arc Suit Leon my favorite Poison type

[alpine quiver]

Gotcha

[stable storm]

stuff like para and burn are good on Leon as well

[rotund oasis]

i went with poison so i can do AoE -2 Random Debuffs with Geeta haha.

[lunar sedge]

I wish they don't have resilience so someone could try SS Cyrus

Lol

[rotund oasis]

Ruthless Poison is real.

[noble sapphire]

Well I can't figure out a team that can actually work on him.

[stable storm]

fluid fort is harder to negate and Cynthia hit much harder

[lunar sedge]

There's also zone to worry abt

Tho I did mine without changing it, wasn't bad

[stable storm]

send your rock, electric and fire rosters

[stable tundra]

any heavy special dmg dealer should work when you lower rebuffs and inflicts status

[stable storm]

can you ex nc blue

*classic Blue

[noble sapphire]

I can.

[lunar sedge]

Isn't classic blue physical sync?

[stable storm]

he has hyper beam

he usually clicks that

[stable tundra]

his sync is physical yeah so EX is pretty much chip damage to the sides

[stable storm]

aren't the sides strong

[formal matrix]

Ex your lodge Steven, two of his nuke will delete Leon

[noble sapphire]

I'm not wasting Spirits on Lodge units.

[stable storm]

wait does lodge stove have poison

[stable tundra]

yes and his sync doesn't deal much damage to them

that's my point

Lodge Steven doesn't have status

[stable storm]

the sides also have se2?

[formal matrix]

I cleared with this team lol

[noble sapphire]

That's my only stubborn stance.

[formal matrix]

I let Janine poison everything

[stable storm]

what's your strongest special unit(if it's ss Lear, tell the name of the second strongest)

[stable tundra]

just send your whole roster here

[stable storm]

I think cblue hyper beam dps should be enough

just need someone who can keep the team alive and someone to status

[lunar sedge]

I think you should just off type with SS Lear

[stable storm]

ss Lear is fire weak so he might die ngl

gonna have to pre sync probably?

[formal matrix]

My Janine is fire weak she didnt even die

Lear won’t die to sync

[lunar sedge]

My lear didn't die either

He should be fine

[stable tundra]

or he should be fire?

[noble sapphire]

Mine almost did when I tried to use him.

[stable tundra]

[noble sapphire]

He died alongside Red.

This was the team I tried using:

[stable tundra]

Red is not a good defensive support for hard fights in general

[halcyon mango]

I used SS Roxie(2/5), Arc Steven(4/5) and NC Silver(3/5) to clear it.
Silver wasn't doing as much as I would have expected.

[noble sapphire]

Yeah he was there for healing & paralysis.

[stable tundra]

You better use SSA Cynthia

Cynthia also has paralysis

[noble sapphire]

Problem would be if she triggers it before triggering confusion.

[stable tundra]

The opponents have Sentry Entry x3 iirc

[halcyon mango]

No wonder.

[stable tundra]

Oh yeah there is also negative status change thingy

[noble sapphire]

Resilience.

[stable tundra]

Can try NC Rosa or NC Red in Classic Blue's place

[snow spruce]

normally yes, but she is weak to fire

[low coral]

I'm confused. Is the problem Cynthia confusing without paralyzing?

[stable tundra]

NC Rosa then

[low coral]

Why wouldn't you just grid Cynthia for paralysis only and not confusion?

[halcyon mango]

NC Cheren seems to be usable too.

[stable tundra]

Maybe both of us got confused as well

[noble sapphire]

Because the way I have it set up, I have Gobsmack while getting Numbing Blow.

[low coral]

Yes, but why not just take a different path?

[noble sapphire]

I made her a potion bot.

[low coral]

This uses even less energy than Gobsmack path

Gobsmack path takes 10 energy in total, Sync path takes 9 (and even less because you already took that path partially for the Potion nodes, so it's just 5 vs 10)

[noble sapphire]

Aight, let's try this out then.

Nope.

I'm just gonna leave it for later.

[alpine quiver]

total noob question, but does the sync pair tracker also have an option to display EXRs as well?

[noble sapphire]

Yes.

[alpine quiver]

how do I do that? The video guide only showed how to increase potential and filter pairs ^^

[noble sapphire]

In the Options tab, check the Visibility drop down, and uncheck "Hide EX Role Icons" if that was checked.

[alpine quiver]

Oh, I'm silly
the EXR is clickable on units that have them

[noble sapphire]

Yeah, they'll appear there.

[alpine quiver]

sweet! Ty!

[noble sapphire]

np

[rustic wolf]

Arc Cynthia go brrr

[snow spruce]

through Sentry Entry ? nice

[fading walrus]

Geeta shredded through entry with nidorino and oleana

[agile wave]

[calm sand]

I love doing unconventional teams

[rotund oasis]

what the ehck? whose tanking?

[calm sand]

Arc Suit Leon

he has Protect

and the positive Fire Rebuffs are quite beneficial

(did have to run Haste Lucky Skill on him though)

[chilly dawn]

Ok I'm trying this and I just cannot get any of it to work lmao

Special rock is almost nonexistent and none of my special DPSes can hack it it seems

[lunar sedge]

Got my Leon battle recorded but no WiFi to upload

[rotund oasis]

i saw someone do SS Diantha ... but sentry entry x3 is a pain.

Selene Alt 3R requires 2 syncs from her + 2 BMove activation AFTER a EX Support sync

can be less if you run geeta and use her SEUN on Selene's BMove or Sync Move

[stable tundra]

With great defensive backbone, good special nuker/dpser can clear

I personally ran NC Blue, NC Rosa and NC Red and beat Leon comfortably, albeit a bit slow for my liking

[fading walrus]

Selene 3/5 onetapped with sync here

Seun sync be like that

Used NC Bede as support

[rotund oasis]

ah

could try again then hehe, with using Geeta's TM

[fading walrus]

I also "solo" dpsd with geeta + oleana

So stage is definitely doable

[chilly dawn]

I don't have a "great defensive backbone"

I have ss morty

Who will turn the stage into hell

Something tells me you do not want to run sun here

I tried AeroBlue as a dps with hyper beam but it hits like piss

[fading walrus]

With a rebuff + status duo enabling him?

[chilly dawn]

No rebuff

It was sonia and ss diantha

[fading walrus]

Doesn't the stage require rebuff?

[chilly dawn]

Idk

Guide just says special moves and poison

Usually it flags rebuff

[fading walrus]

Then I guess I could've avoided running oleana

[chilly dawn]

I mean rebuff is still rebuff lmao

But yeah

I think the issue is you need to win before their second sync

I tried with the Arcyn/Ass/Oak team someone used above but it didn't go very well

Kept messing up the syncs

[plush gale]

https://youtu.be/jg4AWaNfKFY

[snow spruce]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTbsxf6JNYs

[chilly dawn]

I assume oak exr is necessary here

[alpine quiver]

Impressive

[fading walrus]

Nope

But you need lots of mprs

[paper mural]

I kinda want Arc psychic be Giovanni and Mewtwo now lol

[fading walrus]

You're not the first saying this

People were initially saying arc Maxie & Archie but after Cynthia & Leon I really doubt they'll get primals that way

[stable storm]

it does

or negative condition change

[fading walrus]

So interference, restrain or rebuff

[stable storm]

yeh tho iirc they have reseliance for interference

[chilly dawn]

Eh

Trap/Confuse still work

Resilience only messes with Flinch

[paper mural]

Which stage are you guys talking about?
The arc Leon fight doesn't require rebuff or any status chanage at all, which is why the above free team can work.

[gentle wharf]

I just let loose my current Arc roster lol

[cosmic token]

Flying Fires

[rotund oasis]

whoa. an interesting team setup o.o

ooof 5/5 hm

wait, lysandre is tanking? o.o

[leaden dagger]

Uhhh what, why are they taking so little, thus is a 4/5 arc cynthia

[rotund oasis]

They have Sentry Entry x3

[calm sand]

Sentry Entry x3 moment

[leaden dagger]

Are you serious

[rotund oasis]

Very.

[leaden dagger]

Welp I guess I don't pass this one

[calm sand]

do you have a strong Special DPS team?

[stable tundra]

I think Marnie can do it, just replace Cynthia with a bulky support

Or a special nuker

[paper mural]

Even ex Mewtwo break them. Don't give up so quick.

[leaden dagger]

....oh

[dim lance]

Yeah

Lysandre is a better tank than most supports lol

Because you don't need to worry about health

You just need to worry about maxing it

[rotund oasis]

still on a 4bar move so oof. Hopefully Holiday Bugsy might replace the "I am the god tank. I will survive!"

[dim lance]

https://youtu.be/4XuAOEydlh8?si=7oZSGqr9RD2Ne2ol

[warm haven]

Finally leon content

That bmove

[fading walrus]

You were about to pass while having the unit made for the fight

[stable storm]

Sun Anabel clear 2 when

[dim lance]

maybe gorin will cook with it, idk

[stable storm]

I wonder if nc leaf, ss Morty and ASLE could achieve stuff similar to pure steel

[leaden dagger]

Now see I didn't think she was gonna be able to do well being only 2/5 atm

Given this is an arc Suit fight, had my worries

[fading walrus]

NC leaf cloned herself?

[stable storm]

she does pretty big damage even at 1/5 and still has all the gimmick countering

I meant ASLE

[snow spruce]

I kinda wonder how hellish Morgan could be without triple/team-wide Impervious
because those debuffs/stat leeches the enemies do are kinda insane
you need to fully prevent debuffs on you, while also having good def/spdef/atk debuffs yourself

[fading walrus]

Well there's a f2p clear already that's relatively easy to replicate

[stable storm]

she looks hilarious

[snow spruce]

No, they arent as strong and dont have speed debuffs for Nita

[stable storm]

ohhh right nc leaf is missing speed

stil wonder if they could achieve similar stuff on other ubs

[fading walrus]

Definitely can cook most of them

[stable storm]

aside from Nita and Anabel do they have any bad matchups?

[snow spruce]

Morgan might be getting underestimated
1 of your 3 pairs not having impervious might honestly be worse than trying to just 2v3 her with full Impervious

[leaden dagger]

Let's give it a shot

[stable storm]

I wonder if Anabel might be doable with them.....

[stable storm]

because of ridicure?

[snow spruce]

Yes and mind/armor etc. leeches
just 1 non-impervious pair already kinda can ruin it
even nc blue is limited to only max of -2 def and spdef debuffs, not counting mind games 2/DC2
and her sides only have AoE moves, so they will always hit all 3 pairs

at least she is flinchable

[stable storm]

does the leech work if your stats can't be dropped btw

[snow spruce]

no

thats why impervious on all 3 is so vital

but thats not easy

[stable storm]

both lears being peak once again

[paper mural]

3 downside up units will be funny.

[fair sorrel]

Really is.

[stable tundra]

wow Morgan UB is so bullshit

[fading walrus]

Yeah it's impervious/stat reduction immunity or perish

[golden steppe]

Jasmine & Steelix gaming

[fading walrus]

Yeah N

No

Sorry

That barrier lasts too little + doesn't protect from bedazzle 4

[snow spruce]

wait its double bedazzle 2? fug

Morgan is kinda bs

I didnt think they would make an UB for dragons that strong.

[fading walrus]

Yeah 2 for each side

That + ridicure is the main bullshit part

As you'll need AT LEAST acuity to even get started on the stage

[snow spruce]

yeah

[shell aurora]

Whats the gimmick of the leon fight?

Do i need to poison?

[lunar sedge]

any status works

and apply negative status change

and use special DPS

[golden steppe]

They also have Sentry Entry 3x

[golden steppe]

Yes

[snow spruce]

does Double Drop work on bedazzle 2? making it bedazzle 4?

[fading walrus]

Nope

[fading walrus]

I've seen people say status change isn't actually needed but idrk

[golden steppe]

SS Emmet Gaming

[snow spruce]

SS Serena might still need Acuity for Morgan tbh.
Sure she gets Piercing Gaze later, but the -4 accuracy will stay the entire fight and will make her take +90% dmg from everything

[lunar sedge]

oop yeah i just saw No status cond. passive

[fast pendant]

Is there any actual conformation that the multiplier is on any debuffed stat rather than net value

[lunar sedge]

so just status and SE3x

[fading walrus]

Yep, and she'll need to sync first

[fading walrus]

Don't think so but the passive seems pretty clear

[snow spruce]

that might even apply to AS Cynthia lol (giving Acuity). Since you only get sand fortress after sand is up, it wouldnt stop the initial bedazzles
or you just tank the damage. After all on sand Nita you take SS9 dmg the entire fight and its "fine"

Essentially impervious is mandatory against Morg

Variety Calem suddenly looks at this and says "this looks like a job for me"

[fast pendant]

There are others that have high multipliers and aren't stopping the clear yeah

So it's not necessarily a must

[dim lance]

Yeah but double bedazzle will punish you quite hard

Short of some sure crit

[snow spruce]

without Piercing Gaze - Acuity or Impervious is a must. otherwise you miss everything and Ridicule heals her to full
with PG - you can maybe ignore it, since its "only" +90% dmg taken

[forest aurora]

I’m a little stumped by the Arc Leon fight. It seemed like Geeta is a perfect counter, but she does surprisingly little damage. Is there some damage resistance I’m not seeing on Arc Leon aside from robust physique?

(Iirc, robust physique is the one that you need to status Leon to break)

I am also noticing it was a mistake to bring both SS Diantha and Geeta to that fight. I’ll need to adjust.

[paper mural]

Sentry Entry. Physical dmg gets severely reduced.

[fast pendant]

I think it's sentry entry x3

[forest aurora]

But they don’t get any physical defense boosts, or at least none that I saw…

I thought sentry entry just raised defense 1 stage?

[fast pendant]

The "x3" means that their actual stat is multiplied by 3

Instead of getting a +x defense buffs

So it's just very punishing to any physical dmg dealer

[forest aurora]

That would explain things. Well that throws my best sync pairs out the window.

[paper mural]

Yes. getting + x def/spdef buffs on entry is not an issue at all, so if ppl talk about Sentry/Wise Entry they're most likely mentioning the actual stat one.

[shell aurora]

I just used as cynthia as steven and alt selene lol

[lunar sedge]

the battle is made for Selene alt lol

[fast pendant]

Alt selene is the intended unit for the stage

Poison and special rock dmg

[shell aurora]

I see

[paper mural]

The stage gimmick is just straight forward. It's actually relatively easy.
Most ppl meet issue just bc they didn't noticing Sentry Entry and bring in NC Silver or SS Diantha.

Now that I finished the mission I can have fun

I would’ve killed them faster but Lear didn’t feel like critting 😣

[forest aurora]

Man, Leon is still tanky as heck, even when I’m using special attackers. Tried to use Oleana for debuffs and paired it with SS Roxie, but only got the 3 enemies down to ~55% before Leon second sync’d my team

Maybe poison isn’t the right approach…? I could just try and para with NC Blue

[golden steppe]

Yeah try that

They need to have status condition applied

[fast pendant]

Who's hour supp

[golden steppe]

It doesn’t have to be poison

[forest aurora]

I’m about to be real mad if the usual Irida & NC Red with NC Blue works

[fast pendant]

It will

But are you using blue with roxie

[forest aurora]

I did. It was surprising lackluster

[fast pendant]

That's weird

That team should have all needed

[forest aurora]

If I had to hazard a guess, it’s probably cause it’s just 1/5 Roxie

3/5 probably gets the passives she needs to do some real damage

[fast pendant]

Yeah that makes sense

[nocturne arch]

Anything should I know before doing trainers on the track 4?

[golden steppe]

Remove rain and bring someone who can debuff defense

[forest aurora]

Way more anti-climactic than I expected.

But I guess it’s to be expected from the trio that can beat so many Ultimate battles (or so I’ve heard)

[fading walrus]

Yeah they can do pretty much all UBs but like...2?

[forest aurora]

Don’t remember how far they’ve pushed it, but I wouldn’t be surprised. The google sheet breaks when I try to view it in anything other than a PC so I can’t confirm.

[fading walrus]

Use the pc version of the site

[left crow]

10 sync buffs 💀

[nocturne arch]

The mission I have to do is
Shinno
Scarf
Nature lover
Contest lover

[golden steppe]

Dawn should cover 3 of those

[surreal torrent]

Okay so I’m lost. How are you supposed to defeat Emmet and Ingo in these extreme battles?

[calm sand]

nvm, I read it wrong

[golden steppe]

Inflicts a status change on them, if they don’t have one their defenses are tripled by 3x

[fading walrus]

Trap them and use a ground damage dealer

[calm sand]

the best one to use would be Trap

[fading walrus]

Trap is easily the best

As it chips their hp heavily

[surreal torrent]

One of the battles for example recommended to trap them, I did and didn’t put up any damage against them

[golden steppe]

You also need a tank with status immunity and escape artist to prevent the status and trap from spreading to all allies

[paper mural]

Not any status change. Its strickly only interference (trap, confusion, flinch) but they'll get flinch immunity after 2 flinch.
Also dont be status or trap by them.

[golden steppe]

Yes that’s what I mean

[paper mural]

Some ppl think rebuff works too but it actually doesnt in that stage.

[fading walrus]

You'll want especially burn and trap immunity yea

Para can be KINDA ignored

[surreal torrent]

Idek if I have anyone who can prevent trapping from happening

[vocal pollen]

Sure did also miss the Sentry Entry pop up when I did my first Leon run

[surreal torrent]

Idk if it’s because since I’m trapped, it effects my damage

[paper mural]

In theory you can get para and roll lessen para to still take action while being para and not worry about burn.
But pratically they just heal and heal when you're status and it makes it super hard to beat.

[fading walrus]

Yep

[surreal torrent]

So what am I supposed to do?

[paper mural]

There's a pure f2p unit clear somewhere in this channel.
Most of them are Bertha main dmg dealer and supports that help her.

[fading walrus]

Look up escape artist pairs and give them either status immunity or use one of these + lithe

[surreal torrent]

In the game or PoMaTools?

[paper mural]

#1009557516369281075 message

[fading walrus]

Yeah but that f2p team is extremely RNG

I wouldn't recommend it

[nocturne arch]

First pic is the scarf and the second one is the Contest lover what unit I should use next?

It’s the only two missions I have to get it done next

[surreal torrent]

I mean I gotta go for something cause I can’t shoot for every sync pair that’s rerunning or releasing

[paper mural]

Dawn. She clears not just 2 but 4 missions in that stage.
Also a grass type so have some chip dmg

[hasty bough]

I did it! No Arc Suit required

SS Lear, Steelillie and Chase

[nocturne arch]

Ok so what’s should I do on trainers on the track 5? I heard that they will buff the attacks

[cobalt rune]

Vs arcsuit lionel is possible f2p??

I completed that stage with arc metagross but i ask for my friend who dont have any arc syncs

[hasty bough]

I just beat it without any arcs, but I had 3/5 SS Lear

[lunar sedge]

That one's the easiest, I can't exactly remember the missions but Ghetsis is pretty much enough

Ghetsis/Sycamore/whatever fulfills the rest of the theme missions

[hasty bough]

They all have EXR tho

It’s kind of the steel perfect team budget mode

No arc steven luck

[cloud badge]

Also no arc suit here
Took a test to see if a certain trio would do it

Fun stuff is the replay team with arc steven + rats had ash 5/5
And mine is 3/5 ex

[nocturne arch]

The last two missions I have to do is SS Unit and Battle facility foe
