Battle Rally

[minor ravine]

3rd Anni ones

[real jay]

doesn't red need electric terrain tho?

[minor ravine]

Do you have Max Conductivity gridded?

Saves a TM.

[real jay]

yes

[minor ravine]

There’s your answer.

[real jay]

ah yes true :'') I always forget that dynamax moves can be used iver and over again :'')

and i guess Cynthia is here only to tank and use her 1 gauge move

right

[minor ravine]

Yep, and do you have Focus Group on?

The one that buffs Crit per move

[real jay]

well i can always make grids for the battle villa, that's fine

also, the max conductivity grid that i have is tthe one with haymake and Attack to the max but since i won't use the tm, what can i pick instead?

[minor ravine]

You’ll be fine sticking to that. He’s so powerful anyway.

I solo’d him through the entire BV btw

[real jay]

ok. Thanks! I'll try them then and see how it goes

ah

x)

[minor ravine]

Good luck

[real jay]

thanks lol xD

Also i never used B-moves in villa but do they reset every battle or not?

[minor ravine]

Ash and Cynthia’s B Moves work like how TM MP works.

Red’s is the only one with no MP, so it’ll be fine.

[sudden heron]

I just used steven 3/5 aaron 3/5 and skyla its good for clearing those stages that dont have more than one set of opponents

Then use cyrus sykamore and leaf for the others

[flat granite]

Is SS Steven/SSA Cynthia/Lucian still the meta comp for villa?

[urban ledge]

There are so many meta comps nowadays

As long as you never need to reset for MPR you’re good

[thick mauve]

SSKris is better than Cynthia in that team

[hollow fjord]

is there a list of units good for battle villa?
I wanna use multiple teams so i'm not just wasting full recoveries because I haven't full cleared it yet

I already have the skyla/cyrus/sycamore team but they're stalling on floor 10 today
I'm notcing that sycamore can't keep up as much against the damage and I dont have enough gauge to sync before the enemies do, not sure if im doing smth wrong or if its just how it be

[urban ledge]

Are you triple queuing?

[hollow fjord]

I don't have enough gauge TO triple que Cyrus and sycamore are both fighting for gauge with 3 cost moves

[placid depot]

Sycamore uses dazzling gleam until you're able to sync

After sycamore syncs you should have enough gauges to use his 3 bar moves

[long nimbus]

You can use water pulse with Cyrus pre-sync too
Skyla grts mgr9 on gust at 3/5

[minor ravine]

So I’m glad to think this

But even with Sycamore EX, the guide can still stand.

But it’s also helpful for the future for people that join after the event.

[urban ledge]

Yeah EX is a nice bonus but not necessary for the F2P guide

[pliant ridge]

I remember something that we can get all the rewards at the same time by performing stage 30 directly in other batlle villas after completing the battle villa once. Is it true?

[long nimbus]

You can skip to hall 20 if you clear previous villa to hall 30.
You get all rewards except for Extra rewards each 5th hall - 1 and 2 star cookies.

[oak jolt]

Is what I always use

[versed minnow]

Hi guys I was wondering if anyone knows if there’s an auto team option to full clear battle villa? It’s a long trek and I remember there being some research into this like a year ago but it didn’t net much results.

Thanks anyone 🙂

[nocturne pawn]

I’m 99% sure that an auto option for the whole thing is impossible

If you wanna clear without full heals you need to manual

[urban ledge]

No auto team

Because auto ai is so stupid

[simple frost]

RAWR

@upper lake RAWR

here.

First things first, do you have Redlax, SSSteven, Clemont and Eevee?

[river sedge]

@upper lake Did you use 9 pairs in villa already

[upper lake]

not yet

okay, replaced Skyla with Leaf

[simple frost]

What are your grid?

for Leaf?

[upper lake]

but what do I do with the Cyrus TM that I already used up?

[river sedge]

you won't use it

[upper lake]

...why not?

[dry ice]

@upper lake rhis screen. It has a hp and MP food.

[river sedge]

Leaf Sycamore Cyrus beats the villa using 0 MP

[long nimbus]

You don't remember what Sycamore sync does?

[simple frost]

Leaf gives +2 all stats except for Crit

[river sedge]

you will never need to use a single MP

[upper lake]

ah, found it

[dry ice]

You're always given one when starting a villa run

[simple frost]

and Sycamore buffs +6 to SP.ATK, SP.DEF, SPD

on his sync move.

[upper lake]

oh yeah

[simple frost]

Leaf is there to be the Gauge+

[upper lake]

I forgot

[simple frost]

if you can get her grid which is Tackle MGR9

[dry ice]

Leaf won't be syncing.

What she needs is tackle mgr and tackle staggering

Get potion mpr too if you absolutely need to heal

[long nimbus]

Get rid of barricade buddies and adrenaline

[simple frost]

here's what i use

[upper lake]

I already have that

[simple frost]

i use Leaf EX

though

so yeah

[upper lake]

done now

[upper lake]

just did

[river sedge]

use those

sync with leaf if you want Hydro Pump to never miss

[dry ice]

Get rid of adeenaline and recuperation. Replace with potion mpr and master healer

[river sedge]

don't use potions

MP usage is disgusting

[dry ice]

Sycamore should always be syncing first.

[long nimbus]

Recuperation is nice though

[river sedge]

Sycamore is not needed

[simple frost]

lul

[river sedge]

+2 SpA +2 Spe is enough

[dry ice]

Is it still not cyrus and sycamore?

[river sedge]

leaf sync first

so you don't miss hydro pump

[long nimbus]

Sycamore is easier for them, plus he's EXd

[upper lake]

...okay, I think I am finally getting the hang out of Villa properly

[simple frost]

noice

[upper lake]

...man using type advantage really was a bad idea, no wonder I didn't like Villa back then

[simple frost]

@upper lake once you're in higher levels

[river sedge]

you can sync with sycamore first if you don't plan on using hydro pump

[simple frost]

change up your damage dealer

[river sedge]

let's focus on the now

[simple frost]

otherwise, use your heal up there

like MP or stuff

usually if Sycamore can't do shit

like Iron Head spammers

use your other tank

(Which is Eevee)

for my case it'd be Redlax next time HEHE

[upper lake]

alright, 5 Lucky Scrolls obtained

before I continue, I will do the reason why I did Villa in the first place

okay, time to continue

Rachel beaten

[leaden wraith]

[upper lake]

Hilda beaten!

I actually never came this far before!

...okay, Cyrus is at 50% of his health

and I have 2 HP recovery items...which reward to go for? Extra Rewards? Or still Vitality Treats?

[river sedge]

If you think you'll need them, Vitality is the safer bet

[simple frost]

hmm

[upper lake]

Vitality then

I will need to use one right away for Cyrus anyway

[upper lake]

lmao

Agetha killed herself with her TM

that never stops being funny

Sawyer bested, but Cyrus AND Leaf are standing on their last legs...

[leaden wraith]

time to heal

[upper lake]

I did

JESUS CHRIST

Thornton's Iron Head can OHKO Sycamore?!

[river sedge]

if he has enough sync buffs, yes

[upper lake]

I think he only had one?

no, 2, I think

[leaden wraith]

bruh how he can get 2 sync buffs?

[upper lake]

no idea

this time, I made sure he only got ONE sync buff

and even then, his Iron Head can beat Sycamore in two hits

and both times, Eevee's tackle flinch just...failed...

[river sedge]

how about changing the tank to Leaf

she won't die to two iron heads

[upper lake]

you sure?

[leaden wraith]

yes

[upper lake]

Thornton bested...but at what cost?

The fact Leaf could tank two Iron Heads AND a second sync attack is a miracle

[upper lake]

Darach bested

keep Cyrus for the last 5 battles or switch over to Giovanni?

[upper lake]

...so...heal up Cyrus and keep him or switch over to EX'd powered Giovanni for type advantage?

[long nimbus]

Just grid Giovanni for Critical Focus, 'ight?

[upper lake]

...you mean Critical Strike?

because Critical Focus isn't even on his grid

[long nimbus]

No, I mean Critical Focus. You know, the one which buffs crit without using MP. The one Cyrus has.

The biggest reason why Cyrus is even in BV clears.

And if you're not getting how important crit buffs are, you're once again not reading what you're told.

[upper lake]

again, Mewtwo Gio doesn't have Crit Focus

[upper lake]

My idea was to use Gio's TMs and then give him MP food after each fight, but I dunno if I can actually sustain that

[long nimbus]

Don't use him then

[upper lake]

Alright, Cyrus it is

[nocturne pawn]

Rule of thumb: if they require MP for their necessary offensive buffs, they’re not suitable for a Battle Villa clear without the full heal

[urban ledge]

Caveat: unless they can reliably replenish it like Red or KriSS

[upper lake]

Alright, am about to face Noland, the last opponent

Considering there comes nothing afterwards, I assume I can now use a nuke who needs his TMs for crits? Would also help me a lot with triple queueing

[nocturne pawn]

If you want, sure

You can just bring your strongest team, even

[upper lake]

Noland beaten!

[molten hearth]

I know this is not a fully f2p team, but

This the BV team I always use, and this team is amazing. Also, for BV, Anni N and Xerneas uses a different grid than usual, while Red uses its regular grid

[river sedge]

good team for sure

i feel like red and n don't even need more than 1/5

[urban ledge]

Yeah Villa Red is fine out of the box

No need to EX either depending on your team

[naive tendon]

ik villa is already very easy, but i just realized the implication that cyrus getting his first crit for focus from sycamore will make going through wayyyyy less painful

[urban ledge]

Oh Sycamore got Crit Focus? THANK ARCEUS

[naive tendon]

wait nononono

sharp entry 1

which is like

not great but it's something

[urban ledge]

BOO

[naive tendon]

hey 50% chance to crit :)

that's

better than nothing :)

[urban ledge]

Well I suppose it helps certain units skip another use of dire hit+

[placid depot]

Sycamore getting freevenge 4 makes him more gauge efficient in villa too!

[simple frost]

Hello villa ppl

I currently have ex sycamore, ex ss steven 3/5 and ex eevee... I was wondering if i can use SS Red in this team huhu

[leaden wraith]

how about trying it yourself?

[placid depot]

Sure you can, you're not restricted to just 3 units even with a day 1 clear yknow

[simple frost]

Who to replace though .-.

[nocturne pawn]

Is there a specific reason you want to use SS Red?

[oak jolt]

You can, but he only gets +1 crit each time you sync (mp free)

[urban ledge]

Another Villa another day where my 1 day team rushes to hall 30 and then I let a meme team fight it lol

[oak jolt]

Best team i still think is SS steven aura Cynthia and Lucian

6ex SS steven just one shot everything

Don't know if there's a better team

[thick mauve]

sskris instead of cynthia. all 3 can be at 1/5 and still destroy everything easily

[ebon valve]

I thought this was the best?
SS Steven + SST Red + Ash, another option is instead of quad queueing Thunder Shock, you can use Not Gonna Lose! if you've taken damage previously.

[copper nexus]

You ever just do 16k first sync

[ebon valve]

Just Ash things.

[thick mauve]

SST Red team is still the best but need 3/5

[ebon valve]

Tried this out.

[oak jolt]

Why SS Kris should be better than Cynthia?

For the mini potions?

[thick mauve]

Mp refresh

[oak jolt]

You mean sync burst?

But aura Cynthia has team fist bump

[thick mauve]

You don’t need any of the hp or def buff

[oak jolt]

I don't use the HP or def buffs

[thick mauve]

Steven one shot all side and most mid so

[oak jolt]

Cynthia has damage guard on entry and sync

[thick mauve]

Eh not really needed tho

[oak jolt]

Just saying that i don't feel ss Kris is better, maybe comparable

I mean in the end it doesn't matters much

[thick mauve]

All the defensive and healing are overkill, her bmove is nice but limited use and took a bit to activate. You sync with sskris first anyway if exes so always get mp back

At 1/5 sskris is better in that team

[oak jolt]

I mean the opponent rarely hits more than twice

And Cynthia takes 0 damage twice

She can still heal the team by spamming vaacum weave

But i think they are interchangeable

Even 1/5 aura Cynthia is basically the same

[thick mauve]

For purely offensive team you dont need any heal tho but yeah they’re kinda interchangeable, if you only have 1 of them

[oak jolt]

Next time i can try the swap and see if there's any difference

[thick mauve]

Ssred team is still the most OP but need 3/5 for max conductivity

[oak jolt]

Who buffs physical attack?

Or 3/5 can buff his own attack mp free?

[thick mauve]

He can solo villa so he doesn’t need any buff. Moves always crit under terrain and his bmove debuffs their defense too

[thick mauve]

Mp team is also fun ssethan sskris redlax

[oak jolt]

He can, but without buffs isn't more op than Deoxys

I mean for a 3 unit team

[thick mauve]

Usually people use a kanto team with him so ash + redlax/ssblue

Or the whole 3rd anni team

[oak jolt]

I mean DEO + AuraCyn + Lucian, Deoxys one shots almost everything with psycho boost, and the only things that aren't one shot are some 3rd row mids that generally get 2 shot or finished by the sync regardless

[thick mauve]

Well sure sssteven max his buff faster. But that red team has 2 dps with ash too so they also 1 shot almost everything. And got bigger boost from master passives

[elfin tendon]

Depends, I think SS Kris is definitely better if ur using sp attacker for 0 recovery achievement

[oak jolt]

Not that aura Cynthia needs recovery

[elfin tendon]

I don't think both runs into problems anyway with that ^^

[thick mauve]

Both of them don’t need any heal tbh when you deny their turn and sync

[oak jolt]

I think there's almost no difference between Cynthia and Kris

[thick mauve]

Sskris gives Special move up next buff

Cynthia needs to use bmove

[oak jolt]

Not that Deoxys needs that buff early on

[elfin tendon]

I used ss ethan with grand entry 2

[thick mauve]

Cynthia with lucian gives a slight boost to master passive tho

[oak jolt]

Unless you want to use that later on

[elfin tendon]

So i can just get +6 spatk consistently

[thick mauve]

Ethan is also good but i found him slower than steven

[oak jolt]

Yes i was talking about pairing her with DEO and girafarig

Ofc with SS Ethan she's definitely better

[oak jolt]

With Steven you just press attack and the you start psycho boosting everything to oblivion

[thick mauve]

Also don’t like sstred team that much because people spammed that team in every game modes

[oak jolt]

I still think ss tbolt red team is weaker than Deoxys team

Don't know even if it one shots the sides with like +2 attack

Or if max conductivity is enough to carry the whole battle for boss halls

Without electric terrain tbolt red DPS drops to pitiful

[lethal widget]

Guys what’s a good team to sweep BV?

Lugia Suicune and Who?

[elfin tendon]

Lucian if you have him

[raw gust]

I mean, the ideal is both together

Deoxys-Speed + Tbolt Red would be the fastest

[minor ravine]

Did you check the guide in pins too? It’s a full free team.

[hybrid abyss]

Already for the no recovery medal, however I was just wondering if you still get the medal if you skip. I vaguely remember a convo about someone not getting the medal when they bumrushed a skipped villa with no recoveries.

[hybrid abyss]

haven't used him in villa ever, as leaf, leon, cred works like a charm? is he any faster? compare with the most optimal setup as I'm pretty sure I have units to do so.

[copper nexus]

I use archie SSEthan SSKris the stage is usually done after one aero blast lel

[hybrid abyss]

wow.. archie reduced to rain setter

[copper nexus]

He does deel more damage than Ethan

[ebon valve]

Using skip makes you ineligible for the Unstoppable Challenger Medal. You have to do 1-30.

Skipping halls marks the battles as complete. You receive all the rewards those battles would have given.

The only thing not compensated, is several 1-2 star lucky cookies. (Mostly crispy)

To answer the now deleted question.

[nova pulsar]

My b I deleted cus my disc hadn’t loaded in fully and I saw you had just answered a similar q

[urban ledge]

My 1 day team is still red/SSSteven/Leaf haha

Not really inclined to change it

[oak jolt]

But in no mpr fishing, he will have to stick with +1 crit from the Sync burst tm of ss Kris unless you go full blast in the boss hall and you recover Kris mp in the lesser halls

[frozen fiber]

Does CRed need 3/5 to be utilized properly in Villa?

[nocturne pawn]

No, his G-Max Replenish is what makes him good for Villa

[frozen fiber]

Ok. Thanks

[prime wing]

Whats the current non f2p meta team

[nocturne pawn]

Roster-dependent

[prime wing]

Wdym

[nocturne pawn]

The f2p team is the only one we can guarantee, and depending on who you have it’s still probably the best option

Like, if you’re missing all the Sync Pairs who can guaranteed refresh their moves’ MP with stuff like Sync Burst then you might as well stick with the f2p team

[simple frost]

Xerneas upgrade is crucial for f2p uwu

[nocturne pawn]

Eh, the f2p team has been around since well before the Power Boost, Power Boost just makes it smoother

[placid depot]

no it is not. has never been

[urban ledge]

Xerneas upgrade is a cool bonus but never necessary LMAO

I mean for Arceus’s sake the grid expansion isn’t even here

[oak jolt]

Personally i think SS Steven + Lucian + Aura Cynthia (or SS Kris)

[simple frost]

someone sent this as their Battle Villa clear from 20 to 30 xD

[urban ledge]

Huh

Not sure what happened to that team to get that low

[old pivot]

if it's my first time trying out the bv, is it worth to try and build my own teams for it or should i just go w/ the f2p one suggested?

[nocturne pawn]

The f2p one is just if you want to do the whole thing without the full refresh

The only reward for doing so being a medal with no mechanical value

[old pivot]

ohh full refresh as in you legit do it all in one day right

[nocturne pawn]

Pretty much

[old pivot]

is it possible to do w/ skyla swanna only at 3/5? or does she need the 5/5

[urban ledge]

3/5 is good enough

[nocturne pawn]

5/5 makes no significant difference vs. 3/5 on Skyla

[old pivot]

do you basically just spam gust then potion when necessary and hope for refresh

or do you also need to like reset until her trainer move resets

or do you even really use xern's and palkia's trainer moves?

[nocturne pawn]

You don’t use any trainer moves except Potion as necessary

The guide outlines what each pair is supposed to do

[old pivot]

thanks! yea was just making sure

[oak jolt]

You Can equip that medal and set looker as your favourite sync pair to cosplay doctor who

[nocturne pawn]

I mean, that is valuable, but sadly not from a mechanics standpoint

[oak jolt]

You can't get it twice so no free 4* power ups for dupes

Would have been nice to get those extra 4* power ups by doing the full day one villa

[urban ledge]

Yeah I need more silver powerups

[scenic gull]

once i've used all potions on skyla should i swap to zamazenta bc it feels like that would help more than skyla without potions

[long nimbus]

That's an option, yes

[nocturne pawn]

I mean, the idea with Potion use is that you reset until you get an MP Refresh, but just switching Potion users works

[long nimbus]

If you're not going for day 1 clear, just use 7 potion users

[oak jolt]

Or just use stuffs with synchro healing, or tank with sycamore and heal with horn leech

[long nimbus]

Your striker still needs potions

[oak jolt]

Not if synchro healing or team sync regen

[real jay]

Hey! I was wondering what would be a team that would just crush battle villa without any difficulty? I have most of the strongest pairs but idk who to put with who lel

[placid depot]

who exactly are your pairs

and are you aiming for a no-full restore clear?

because if yes, we have a f2p option on pins, of course this can be adjusted if you have pairs that can reliably refresh their MP

[real jay]

i have all top tier units basically. I jsut want to try to do a full clear the fastest possible. Just for fun and see how easy it can be

[long nimbus]

Got 3/5 SSTRed? Or SSteven?

[real jay]

yes

Omg, i jsut realized that SSTRed has MP refresh on terrain :''')

i was wondering why everybody was using him :'')*

so i guess SSTRed and supps ?

[long nimbus]

You don't need the terrain mpr

[real jay]

ah?

[long nimbus]

3/5 gets terrain on max move

So you just set it up each hall without resetting for mpr

Add Sycamore/other supports with no MP resetting

[real jay]

ah! i haven't thought of that. Well, i'll do that. And what to use with him?

another dmg dealer like ash or supps?

[long nimbus]

You can try double striker comp and see how that goes

[real jay]

you mean SSTred and 2 strikers?

[long nimbus]

Striker is generally used to refer to any damage dealer

[real jay]

ah ok. Ill try ash SST red then

[placid depot]

SST Red has no terrain MPR what are you guys saying

[thick mauve]

[granite river]

sst red, ash and ss steven speed form, you put head start on one of them and ash can sync after 1 turn and one shot everything

[granite river]

like this

[cobalt furnace]

Unless you’re giving head start for some other purpose, i don’t see the point. Lucky skills just for a dead mode seems wasteful

[ebon valve]

Well I use Head Start on SS Steven regardless of the mode.
It’s useful for Speed, Defense, and Normal forme.

[flat dove]

oi when does the battle villa end this month? Can't check rn

[proper schooner]

Ends in 9 resets

[cobalt furnace]

That’s definitely a great choice, but i feel like most of the community only looks at steven for atk form

[scenic gull]

ive used skylas potion 12 times and i have both mp restores am i absurdly unlucky or is there smth stopping it

[cobalt furnace]

If you have them both activated and you’ve double checked, then yes, you’re unlucky

One time i reset like 6 times for an mpr before realizing i didn’t have the right grid on

[scenic gull]

yea i only have one grid the luck is crazy lol

[scenic gull]

haha thats 60 out 4096 i couldve caught a shiny

[upper lake]

...damn, I don't remember Cyrus/Skyla/Sycamore being this slow...what happened?

...I am using the right team for this, right?

[placid depot]

Yes of course, even grids are on pins

Should be easier with sycamore's expanded grid now. Team sharp entry and freevenge can work wonders

[upper lake]

I actually have TSE on Sycamore...although not Freevenge, sadly

...damn, I need to get rid of one of the two Master Healers just to be able to get Freevenge 😦

either that, or get rid of Healing Hand 2, which I don't wanna do either

[thick mauve]

it's battle villa not EBE

[upper lake]

you gotta see how much damage Sycamore got simply from getting trapped or poisoned

[thick mauve]

also sycamore is fine before the grid expand so this is just extra you don't have to use them

he can outheal those anyway

[upper lake]

only if he crits

which there is no guarantee for

still doesn't change the fact that the team is really slow

which is my biggest problem

[granite river]

well this team is fully f2p, ofc it's not the best one 😅

[thick mauve]

yeah like it is safe because f2p option, cyrus is the only dps here of course it is slow

[thick mauve]

looking at your roster you can try something like lucian + sp strike/tech with aoe move like red/zerena/archie/sshilda + xerneas/ssa cynthia/ssblue
your cynthia is 2/5 so she has flinch immune and antitoxin so good for tanking, fast spam move and can heal the team. lucian also can spam sp def debuff with low bar move and he is fast which help your dps aoe spam, don't need grid, this team don't have crit buffer tho but it's fine

[placid depot]

not every stage has trap or poison

just switch your grid if you ever need healing hand. i haven't taken healing hand in ages

[spiral smelt]

I see the Xerneas grid is outdated in the pin it should be updated for new grid too

[nocturne pawn]

It would be better to make an extra option for Power Boost versions rather than change the existing one (if you notice, Cyrus has a no Power Boost grid as well), if any change were to be made

Or just make a note about changes that could be made if you have the Power Boost

[spiral smelt]

yes I am not saying remove the old ones

but add it as an addition for people who have extra grid unlocked

the free move gauge is quite useful when running palkia or my Deoxys

[versed minnow]

Hi guys I saw a lot of talk above about SSSteven being good in villa, could I ask someone what form your supposed to use is it attack or speed? And what’s a good support to pair with him?

I have ss kris but only 1/5 and no aura Cynthia 😭 but I do have Lucian, just not sure who to tank with for mprs thanks!

[thick mauve]

lucian steven sskris

all 1/5 can comfortably clear this

steven uses atk form

[versed minnow]

Thank you I’ll try it out, kris gaining one mpr with a sync seems like it could be a problem

[nocturne pawn]

Not really since SS Steven maxes his Sp. Atk. and crit upon entering Attack Forme

[thick mauve]

you use each of kris move 1 then sync with her first to gain back tm, should also ex her

steven uses attack and just spam psycho boost while lucian spams growl

[versed minnow]

Could you slot in redlax or sycamore for kris too? Sycamore seemed redundant and my kris is not exd

[thick mauve]

sure if you want

but kris also has master passive to boost your dmg a bit more

redlax is better than sycamore tho

[versed minnow]

Thank you for all the input you two , I was running Leon RedLax and Sycamore since the release of Leon/red and I was hoping to try out a new team

[thick mauve]

steven already max his offensive stats so using sycamore is too slow, and you don't even need that much heal when steven 1 shot all the sides and 1-2 shot most mid

[spiral smelt]

What I use is Xerneas, Eevee with my Attack form Deoxys, they clear villa quickly

[urban ledge]

I use Red/attack SSSteven/Leaf (main tank) to clear to hall 29, then use whatever my new toy team is for the final hall haha

[cobalt furnace]

Used to use that but i’ve been liking Lucian instead of leaf as of late

[ebon sorrel]

Question regarding the battle villa we can now just restart battles if one of the tm ends up not refreshing that doesn't mess with anything does it?

[cobalt furnace]

If you exit the battle without finishing, it’ll be the the battle never happened

[ebon sorrel]

Oh that's good so i can just restart in case the trainer move doesn't refresh.

[urban ledge]

Welcome to refresh hell during early Villa lol

[placid depot]

Nowadays refresh hell happens in long LG streaks

[ebon sorrel]

Neveranaged to do a 12 victories legendary streaks 12 is the number of fights that you need to do to get all main rewards

[long nimbus]

You need 10 wins for all main rewards.

[ebon sorrel]

Good i'm only after the main rewards not after any crazy streaks

Now that i'm on the app i can use the guide on legendary gauntlet to actually complete it

Because first one i did what won 3 battles and then got overwhealmed

And the last one i didn't even try

[urban ledge]

This is Villa btw

[oak jolt]

There are some units that don't require mp to work (or that can reliably refresh mp )

Some examples are sycamore and leaf that can buff the team by syncing

[topaz geode]

Is there an achievement for completing the BV with just one team or without using items or something??

[urban ledge]

Without recovery yes

[topaz geode]

Anything else??

Like, using a certain type of pairs or something

Do I have to do the without recovery thing by just using a single team?

[long nimbus]

You can check medals in BV/General missions tab

[oak jolt]

There's one that require you to use like 40 items in total

(not in a single run)

[cobalt furnace]

Items as in the MP/HP treats

[thick mauve]

Lmao Marnie just sweeps the villa so fast

Also idk if it’s luck but Bede froze everything

[naive tendon]

if i skip in villa, does that mean i can't skip next time?

[leaden wraith]

you can, as long as you complete 30 halls in this BV

[naive tendon]

noted, ty!

where should you skip to?

[leaden wraith]

hall 20 ofc

unless you really need 1 and 2* cookies

[naive tendon]

notedo, ty :)

[urban ledge]

This time I let Emma wreak havoc at Hall 30 haha. She’s fun to use

[rain mesa]

How you fix the gauge issue?

[thick mauve]

I don’t have any gauge issue. Switching between marnie sskris cbede lucian and sssteven for some testing and didn’t have gauge issue with any of the team

[craggy helm]

What would be a good team to achieve this? I actually beat the villa and I’ve just been skipping lvls since but I kinda wanna get this, my main concern tho is not being able to beat the lvls in time to get all the gems

[placid depot]

Check pins for f2p option

Non-f2p depends on your box

[oak jolt]

What team are u running with her?

[thick mauve]

I did cmarnie cbede sskris and also replace 1 of the support for lucian in some run, about the same tbh

For single stage you don’t even reach sync but if you want mp refresh you have to delay killing

[oak jolt]

I feel like my Deoxys team will be easier to use

[thick mauve]

Yeah marnie is indeed very strong and cleared just as fast but for some reason it didn’t feel as smooth as deoxys team

[oak jolt]

Deoxys just fully buffs by himself, Marnie clears faster with AOE, but if you run Lucian you will probably need sycamore as your support to max Marnie spa

With Lucian there shouldn't be gauge issues

And the fact than Marnie has sync acceleration makes the 1st turn not a problem

You can skip 1 action with Marnie turn 1

[thick mauve]

I feel like she doesn’t need sp atk buff with her already high stats also losing master passive if using sycamore.

She got +4 sp atk turn 2 with bede kris so not too bad

Probably do some more test next time i finished bv too soon because i need the gems

[fair thicket]

cmarnie just needs move gauge acceleration imo, she can clean the area easily
i used cmarnie, sycamore and ssred thru most of bv and it was pretty fast

[oak jolt]

Maybe if i get c Bede to 3/5 i could try, i think entry freebie is mandatory for this comp

Or maybe i could start with b freezing glare

Maybe next time

Deoxys still destroys the whole villa

But I feel gauges may be an issue if i bring SS Kris

Or maybe she has something at 3/5 to help with gauge (don't know i have her 1/5)

[urban ledge]

Why SS Red?

[fair thicket]

gauge recover, sync acceleration and more dps

[urban ledge]

Oh you mean Red

[urban ledge]

SS Red is the one with Charizard

[oak jolt]

T Red technically is an SS too, but people get confused by the fact that SS Red got released before OG Red

[cobalt furnace]

Redlax’s gauge isn’t even that great

[oak jolt]

Redlax gauge is pretty bad, used to run him in conjunction with leaf (Eevee) back then

Now Deoxys, Aura Cynthia and Lucian just steamroll villa with 0 gauge issues

[urban ledge]

I never got gauge issues with Leaf and Red, but hey if SSAynthia and Lucian is better then all the better

[leaden wraith]

Im finding a self sufficient damage dealer that can buff spatk without using items or TM thats not named Champion Marnie to go with Lucian / SSA Cynthia duo

[urban ledge]

I assume not SSSteven either?

[cobalt furnace]

Not 3/5 ash either ig

[leaden wraith]

Yeah none of them

[placid depot]

This guy

[leaden wraith]

Also dont have him

[placid depot]

Hmmm not sp atk, but SS Hilda buffs atk by 6 on entry

[leaden wraith]

[cobalt furnace]

Do you have raihan?

[leaden wraith]

Yes

3/5

[cobalt furnace]

Yea i can’t select the option either lmao

[leaden wraith]

Yeah i will try SSA Cynthia Lucian Raihan next BV season

I did Cyrus Leafvee Lucian this season

[cobalt furnace]

Lucas and SS Lys also have grand entry 4

[leaden wraith]

Huh should i give Anni Steven Sharp Entry 1 to pair with Red?

[leaden wraith]

Is his dps outside of zone good enough?

[cobalt furnace]

Idk, but that would boost sinnoh flag bearer even more

[cobalt furnace]

Give him hs1 instead

[cobalt furnace]

Kinda curious, why is SSA Cynthia used so much in villa?

[leaden wraith]

She has Focus Group 9

And gauge acceleration in zone

[cobalt furnace]

I was more wondering about her healing, but i suppose team fist bump 3 +triage tank 4 should be solid

[ebon sorrel]

The team i used was EX ss hilda 3/5, EX sycamore 5/5 and EX neo hop 2/5

[oak jolt]

Not that champion Marnie can buff spa without TM

Sycamore can go +6 and is a pretty decent damage dealer with fairy power 5

[leaden wraith]

I literally said i dont have her

[oak jolt]

I meant that she doesn't buff

I was suggesting using xserneas as damage dealer

[leaden wraith]

[oak jolt]

There aren't much units that buff spa without using mp

Unless you want to resort on lusamine's positive reinforcement by killing the sides

However she's super glassy and any AOE or enemy sync could ko

[feral mesa]

Do I have to do the whole villa in one day to get the badge? Can I not do it over multiple days? Cuz of the daily recovery

[leaden wraith]

You can do it anytime, just dont touch the daily recovery button

[feral mesa]

Gotcha. Thanks for the info

[hasty marlin]

Redlax, SS Ethan, SC Lillie
should i replace anyone for my BV team or run it with that? not 100% sure on redlax slot since sc lillie already covers tank and crit needs. SS Ethan can self-cover spatk due to mp regain 9

but i just dunno if like, lucian is good in the content or not for example

[placid depot]

this is already really good. you can switch either redlax or sc lillie with lucian for extra speed

[ebon sorrel]

I really recomend ss Hilda and sycamore

The third syn paie you can choose to fit your liking

They carried me all the way to the last corridor

When i finaly decided to let them rest after they were a little beaten up before changing

Both hilda and xerneas were EXs so keep in mind and my hilda is 3/5

[neat minnow]

anyway to improve this team

[cobalt furnace]

Maybe with the likes of Lucian or an MPless healer? Like Redlax or SSA Cynthia

[eager topaz]

Would 1/5 marnie work or do i need her to be higher?

[leaden wraith]

which Marnie?

[urban ledge]

I assume Carnie

[drifting mason]

Of course but we need to see your roster to recommend anything

[cobalt furnace]

Replace one of the supports with Red/Snorlax

And perhaps the other one with SST Red?
You can use Snorlax’s G Max Replenish to restore MP for his TM and Mini Potion so you can safely heal
And you can take Max Conductivity on Pikachu’s grid for Electric terrain. He also has sync accel

[granite river]

sst red ash and ss steven

don't need supports if everyone die in 2 turns

[cobalt furnace]

Oh i didnt see ash

https://youtu.be/Znv2cfNI1ME
Try This

[neat minnow]

thanks

[elfin oxide]

yo guys, came back recently to the game and i needa farm for cookies off so i’m not tryna run for the last floors, anything i can build up w this?

[cobalt furnace]

Have you checked the pins? A F2P team of Cyrus/Sycamore + someone else should clear the entire villa. No reason not to do the last floors, they give gems and stuff

[hasty marlin]

for future reference it might be better to show in the move level menu than the potential menu, we cant even see move levels in this one which is important for grids

[cobalt furnace]

Showing potential is not useful since we can already see their amount of stars from any screen

[elfin oxide]

ohh shit i completely forgot lmfao ima retake it

shoutout Bedo and Leon for joining this morning

[thick mauve]

bede+lucian and a sp atk dps, leon is good. but your roster is still new so probably should use the f2p team to have some healing

[drifting mason]

Late af but pika duo + deoxys is prob the fastest possible way to beat bv def the easiest too

[rapid otter]

What are good pairs to run in this mode? Are pairs like bede or deoxys Steven any good?

[long nimbus]

Pairs that don't rely on MP usage or can reliably refresh MP are good here.
SSteven is great, yeap

[rapid otter]

I see. Should I just use the supports in the pin then?

[long nimbus]

That works if you're not sure in your roster. CBede is a good one too

[worn tundra]

Anyone able to help me with a team? I have the f2p team ready for the later stages but wanted to make another for early/mid stages

[long nimbus]

Why not go with f2p for early stages as well?

Also, is that your first Villa clear?

[worn tundra]

Yes it my first actually doing battle villa if I remember correctly

Also for not using the f2ps on the early stages, I thought I’d could use a aoe attacker to clear them a bit quicker

[long nimbus]

Using them early on will help you get used to the team

[worn tundra]

True

[long nimbus]

You can use other pairs, depending on your roster. Save three spots for the pinned team, go all out with any 6 units

[hasty marlin]

Thankfully in my case my villa clearers do aoe although idk if ss Ethan or cmarnie will be better for my next villa.

Almost wish she had spatk on entry instead of crit, as I’ve got more mpless crit sources than spatk.

[copper nexus]

Villa is easy enough that jr doesn’t matter which but marnie is prolly better

[simple frost]

Guys

what's a good team with Ball Guy? xD

[cobalt furnace]

Anything that buffs atk/spatk and just needs a little bit of crit i suppose

[simple frost]

Ball Guy does buff Crit (for everyone)

so Eevee? 😄

unfortunately

Interference Immunity is 3/5 😭

actually wait

Ball Guy can do Move Gauge Refreshes

INTERESTING

so i can run Ball Guy and SS Steven

HUM

might not need Eevee then

will go with Kiawe

I GOT IT

SS Leaf + SS Steven + Ball Guy

Instant Poison, and Ball Guy reaps

enemy buffs

but the only thing now is that interferance immunity need hmm

[cobalt furnace]

What if her poison proc fails

[simple frost]

Ball Guy inflicts status conditions by himself

the reason why i'd use SS Leaf though is better poison chance

i guess i can just run

Acid Thrower lol

for full heals and stuff

[urban ledge]

Man Lucian/SSSteven/SSAynthia team tore up Battle Villa so hard lol

[leaden wraith]

same, but with Raihan instead of SS Steven

[lilac marten]

What team do you guys use for Villa

Here's what I'm using

[pseudo egret]

I'm interested

what does Lucian do in that team?

might slot CBede in instead

[urban ledge]

1 bar AoE special defense debuff + speed buff

[pseudo egret]

whoa that does sound cool

[placid depot]

My trusty day 1 BV team

[lilac marten]

Halfway there

[thin rock]

I read somewhere that someone used hypnosis repeatedly and ended up clearing the whole BV, if i understood correctly

Is that tactic still viable?

[long nimbus]

It's much slower than other available tactics

Sleep chaining Villa is a very old tactic

Check the pins for suggested teams

[lilac marten]

Final stretch

[placid depot]

Whenever I get called a whale I feel so honored considering I'm f2p

[urban ledge]

Oh sorry I forgot to mention that it’s from Lucian’s Growl, so it also debuffs the enemy’s attack

[pseudo egret]

noice

[raven quartz]

after u get the achievement u dont get anything from completing it without resetting right

[long nimbus]

Aside from 1-2 star cookies, nothing

[raven quartz]

ok thanks

[ocean wren]

So do I lose out on anything by using any items? I know I can clear just fine with ash and red but still wanted to know

[thick mauve]

you can be a f2p and be a whale to, like a LG whale also that is a whale team even tho you're f2p, 5/5 red, did you get him while chasing someone else lol

[long nimbus]

No, items are reset each villa anyway

[urban ledge]

OH MY GOD ARE WE BRINGING BACK F2P WHALE?

[ocean wren]

OK good, cause last time I used the full recovery and don't remember if I missed out on a reward for that

[urban ledge]

Good lord how many years it’s been

[thick mauve]

it's a joke nothing serious lmao

[ocean wren]

Weird, I didn't use full recovery but it still somehow got used, does skipping use it up?

[leaden wraith]

no

[ocean wren]

Weird

[long nimbus]

It's day one, you don't get a full recovery on day one

[ocean wren]

Oh then maybe it was the mp recovery I used

[lethal widget]

is that a day 1 team?

[lilac marten]

Define a day 1 team

[lethal widget]

team that can finish villa in 1 day

no resets

[lilac marten]

Yeah it is a day 1 team

Aaron is my go to for Villa

[lethal widget]

whats the strat with aaron?

just defend order?

[lilac marten]

Spam defend order

[split haven]

SS Steven and two supports that has the tank healing can solo one day.

[thick mauve]

there are faster teams, if you want recommendation post your roster

[lilac marten]

It meets two criteria I need

Utility, and a 1 Guage spamm

[granite river]

support are useless, just go triple strike ez 🙄

[spiral smelt]

I usually use Xerneas and Eevee to steam roll with Deoxys

[wraith crest]

@fleet plaza I tried for a long time to use that site, and after inputting a ton of stuff I accidentally refreshed it. So I did things the old fashioned way and took screenshots. Thank you for helping me, and I’m sorry I took so long.

[fleet plaza]

No worries, thanks for the superb screenshot, i'll look into it now

[wraith crest]

Thank you! I’m glad you could understand my little colour coding thing haha. I wondered if it would be clear enough

And I’m sure you know everyone’s role anyway by now.

[fleet plaza]

alright i identified 2 pairs already now debating on the dmg dealer

Here below in tactics order @wraith crest

[daring peak]

Bede (Champion) & Articuno

Acquisition:

Master Fair

Alternates:

Bede & Hatterene

Lucian & Girafarig

Acquisition:

General Pool
Ticket Scout
Ticket Scout (Sinnoh)

Alternates:

None

Marnie (Champion) & Moltres

Acquisition:

Master Fair

Alternates:

Marnie & Morpeko
Marnie & Toxicroak
Marnie (Summer 2021) & Grimmsnarl
Marnie (Palentine's 2022) & Mawile

[fleet plaza]

As for the strategy :

• Bede uses one TM then B Move and finally syncs which will refresh him that used TM. Make sure you have Entry Freebie in grid.

• Lucian only ever uses Growl, Growl will debuff atk & spdef aoe, buff your team's speed which is fantastic. Make sure you have Growl Charging Infliction in grid.

• Marnie only ever uses her Fiery wrath or B fiery wrath, nothing else.

[thick mauve]

lol exactly what i'm going to suggest

[thick mauve]

rats team also fine but wants sssteven

[fleet plaza]

ye

[thick mauve]

3/5 cbede is great so you don't have gauge issue at start

[fleet plaza]

Aye hope your CBede has Entry Freebie in grid as well!

[split haven]

For me I use SSA Cynthia and blue for healing, or if I need gauges I can also replace blue with Eevee or Skyla.

[wraith crest]

Thank you so much!

[wraith crest]

@fleet plaza The strategy you suggested worked perfectly and it was really quick and easy. I really love the gacha and collection elements of the game but the strategy and information parts are so difficult for me, so I usually skip events like the legendary gauntlet, or harder extreme battles. This was really fun and I learned a lot about these new pairs. They’re awesome!

[fleet plaza]

No worries, glad it worked out. Feel free to ping me or our Helpers if you need help!

[thick mauve]

it is fast because BV is super old content and new units will powercreep it with ease. for ebe people will make all kind of teams you can copy, LG needs more effort with team building but you'll get there

[wraith crest]

Thank you!

[mild notch]

i'm in the last hall

no resets used so far

recoveries i mean

got it with no recovery medal!

[urban ledge]

Congrats

Now you can skip

[ocean wren]

Is thornton the farthest you can go when skipping anyway? Or did I do something to stop it halfway?

[long nimbus]

You can skip up to 19 halls

[split haven]

Also, bosses are random each month so the farthest won’t always be the same opponent.

[long nimbus]

Except for Rachel.
Rachel is too lazy to get higher than the first floor

[split haven]

Ya. They don’t want to put sawyer as first boss for newer players which makes sense.

[ebon sorrel]

So we can say that rachel is the weakest among lear's crew?

[ocean wren]

Easily

Ngl when I see Lear's squad, I've been watching vanguard anime all day too so it sometimes makes me think of Ren, Asaka, and Tetsu

[dry ice]

Found another easy villa team.
Cbede
CMarnie
SsSteven

No mp problems nor gauge, cBede recovers from sync and most importantly. Healing isn't even needed because everything dies before a sync

[topaz geode]

What grid do I use on sycamore in BV. My team : swanna EX, Cyrus EX (No power up/extra grid), Sycamore(no power up/extra grid or EX)

[granite river]

[half bone]

This team still work or are there more efficient ones?

[urban ledge]

It will still work, Villa has not changed since a long time ago. But now there are a lot more efficient teams yeah

[half bone]

like what?

What teams are better?

[urban ledge]

SSSteven for example maxes out his attack and Crit for free

[half bone]

should I show what my roster is, for reference?

[urban ledge]

Lucian is a free 1 bar spammer that debuffs enemy attack and special defense and also buffs team speed

[half bone]

Here it is, for reference

[urban ledge]

SSAynthia is an undying tank that heals the entire team for free

[half bone]

any of those work?

I do have Lucian and SSA Cynth

um, would it help if I shrunk that down? Sorry.

[vestal rapids]

Carnie, Sycamore and whoever else can pretty much sweep entire villa I’ve noticed

[half bone]

just spam fiery wrath, I assume?

and Horn Leech?

[vestal rapids]

Pretty much. Wrath go brrr

[ebon sorrel]

Lucian Champ marnie and sycamore seen good

[ocean wren]

Wait,wuh why can't I get the medal? I didn't use any recoveries? Like I swear I never touched any of the three

[nocturne pawn]

If you use the skip it doesn’t give you the medal

[ocean wren]

That is such bs, but screw it, it doesn't do anything

[urban ledge]

Do it next time

I let my fairy team do hall 30 haha

[zealous plover]

Do you usually target the left/right Pokemon first or the center Pokemon?

[placid depot]

Center

[zealous plover]

yeah that makes sense haha

you know it is kind of weird to have the game tell you that it's better to target the left and right Pokemon first but 90% of the time everyone here recommends to target the center Pokemon first (unless you're doing turn denial ofc)

[pseudo egret]

game tutorial was written for a very different game

launch pomas was eeew

[zealous plover]

lmfao

how so, I'm curious?

[pseudo egret]

too much grind, you lose stat buffs after a few turns, running out of gauge is a big possibility (game never teaches you to triple queue for a reason)

I remember rerolling for olivia

fun times

also no sync grid

what you see is what you get

[leaden wraith]

Actually opponents' sync wipes out stat buffs

Glad they changed it

[pseudo egret]

eh, my memory is a bit hazy

it's probably that, yeah

[leaden wraith]

Also grinding sync orbs is hell

[pseudo egret]

I've only seriously played it in this account

I remember no stamina

so people would set up auto clickers

just to farm books

which was pretty scarce iirc?

[zealous plover]

oh goddamn—

[pseudo egret]

mind you, I wasn't there for even the first few events

I played launch pomas

tried out some coop

then got bored

effects like restrain are leftovers of that coop centric game design

[zealous plover]

ohhhh that's interesting

i always thought it was a bit weird that we had both restrain and trap

[leaden wraith]

Restrain was carried from mainline mechanics which is "cant switch out"

[pseudo egret]

huh, so it's the equivalent of shadow tag?

never made that connection

[zealous plover]

ohhh okay. i figured it was something like that

[zealous plover]

(or arena trap)

[pseudo egret]

but still, it's kinda...useless if it's just 3v3

[zealous plover]

Does restrain prevent the target from switching out in co-op?

Except for moves that get boosted on restrained opponents of course (though I think most of them also get boosted if the opponent is just trapped but don't quote me on that)

oh no, Nessa doesn't get her power up when the opponent is trapped

[leaden wraith]

Nessa requires restrain, which Jaw Lock does

[zealous plover]

yeah i know

[leaden wraith]

Yes, but coop opponents dont switch and there is no opponent that can restrain us

[pseudo egret]

ngl, I wonder if they were going to make an opponent that could

before they made it more single player centric

[leaden wraith]

Restrain was introduced long after the dead of coop

[pseudo egret]

hmm

I see

can't say I remember any of it

apologies for the misinfo!

memories from before The Plague aren't the most memorable

[lethal widget]

Whats this unit?

[nocturne pawn]

SSA Cynthia + Lucario

[lethal widget]

Oh

Whats a good third for Lucian and Galar articuno? Don’t have Deoxys

[nocturne pawn]

Giovanni, maybe

[thick mauve]

cmarnie or ssethan

[cobalt furnace]

Well, restrain was released far after co op died. It was even released before 3* gear sorta revived it

[zealous plover]

I keep getting so close to beating Thorton with Xerneas + Cyrus + Skyla 😭 I mean, it probably wouldn't hurt to try with other sync pairs

[cobalt furnace]

Try tanking with Skyla for a match

I’m guessing its partly because of Thorton’s iron head?

[zealous plover]

yeeep

one shots xerneas

[cobalt furnace]

You might want to take Skyla’s MPRs and tank with her for this match
(Use her TM at the start and reset for an MPR)

[zealous plover]

ah, okay!

[spare oasis]

Not a new player by any means, but never bothered to do the battle villa no recovers achievement. Obviously I can do it with f2p units, but what are the better units to use to just clear it faster with No recovers? I’ve got a lot of units and stuff, though I can’t post any pictures here

Also I apologize if this the wrong channel to ask in

[leaden wraith]

This is the right channel to ask, no worries

You can post images in help channels tho

Can you post your roster here?

[spare oasis]

I have no image perms in here or anything

I can post em in a different channel

[leaden wraith]

You can upload them to imgur then send the link here

That may work

If not I'll uh try imgur I guess

[leaden wraith]

Oof that requires downloading

[spare oasis]

Yeahhh

[leaden wraith]

Post it to imgur then

Didnt touch the 4 stars (that I dont use) and below, most 3/4 stars are 5/5 move level

[cobalt furnace]

What move level are your SST Red and Ash?

[leaden wraith]

The image is a bit blurry for me, what move level is your Ash?

[cobalt furnace]

(The resolution is kinda low so i can’t tell )

[leaden wraith]

Winston you are so fast

[spare oasis]

Huh, image loads fine for me (I just have to zoom in)

I could DM it if you'd like

Ash is 2/5, Red is 3/5

I realize this would help

Filtered by stars and only units I have haha

[cobalt furnace]

Oh wow that’s a massive help

[zealous plover]

I can't seem to do the Thorton battle with the classic Xerneas + Cyrus + Skyla team

[cobalt furnace]

I wonder if sycamore’d survive iron head with defence buffs, from aaron for example

Aaron doesn’t use MP to boost defence and has pretty solid gauge

[leaden wraith]

Tank with Aaron in that stage only

Or use Skyla for faster defense buff

[spare oasis]

Following up with this now that I've posted the link :)

[cobalt furnace]

Sorry for the late reply

SST Red at 3/5 has Max Conductivity so you can get electric terrain up without MP
Sycamore has pretty solid healing
You’d want someone who can buff attack without MP as third

[spare oasis]

Are max moves one time use or each fight?

Genuinely havent used anyone with a max move in villa before lmao

[cobalt furnace]

Max Moves can be used once each fight, yes

Its why Red/Snorlax are so good in BV

[spare oasis]

Ah, makes sense

[spare oasis]

Any idea who to use for the attack buff?

[placid depot]

without MP? for now I can only think of the Flag Bearer passive

marley has flag bearer 3, 40% chance to buff AOE attack after every move

sycamore can also do it via team shout albeit unreliably

[cobalt furnace]

SS Steven’s defence form exists but his gauge is… not great

[leaden wraith]

There is Summer Hilda

[daring peak]

Team Beef Up 9

Raises the Attack of all allied sync pairs by 1 stat rank when the user is hit by an attack move.

Oh uh SCLyra too

[spare oasis]

Sadly have neither

[cobalt furnace]

That’s kinda the reason why people recommend the Cyrus/Sycamore comp; its really solid compared to most other options

If you had 3/5 Ash then you could take trainer sync redemption and it’d be super simple, but ai wouldn’t recommend candying just for villa

[zealous plover]

So Xerneas, Aaron and Cyrus?

[leaden wraith]

Yeah

[zealous plover]

Aight!

[zealous plover]

Forgot to tell you this last night but it worked like a charm! Thanks a million!

[spare oasis]

Huh, guess it’s fixed and I can post images now

[thin rock]

First time I beat BV, didn't use any recovery. Don't get me wrong i have tried beating it before, just didn't have the right team

CMarnie, Sycamore and Lucian/Skyla was the winning team

[fair thicket]

sycamore always carries due to sync imo

[neat onyx]

so can cyrus/sycamore/skyla complete the villa or are they just a day one team because i can clear the day one content easily, im just struggling on lyra

[cobalt furnace]

They can clear the entire villa, but lyra is really bulky for some reason

Generally when people say one day team they mean a team that clears the entire villa in one day without the full restore

[neat onyx]

oh cool

so i should invest sync orbs into them asap

i have sycamoree's grid finished

oh i dont have skyla up to 5/5

sadge

[leaden wraith]

Skyla only needs 3/5

They are good sync pairs so you should invest on them asap

[neat onyx]

i have 1/5 skyla

even tho ive spent a lot on this game........

she only came once

but i see no reason to roll for her unless colress on rate-up

[cobalt furnace]

Skyla is a main story sync pair, she can’t be rolled

The 3* support candy you get from events can be used on her

[neat onyx]

i wish i could get 3* support candy from events

[leaden wraith]

Have you completed every events running rn?

[neat onyx]

i haven't done the gladion challenge because its fucking hard but ive done the others yes

[dry ice]

Villa is just a joke now.

[urban ledge]

Always has been a joke lol

[feral mesa]

CMarnie SSteven or SSTRed with CBede?

[leaden wraith]

both work

[feral mesa]

True true, I have the day 1 achievement so I just wanna speedrun it.

Let me try to get my roster

What website is that again?

[leaden wraith]

+tracker

[hexed patio]

https://pomasters.github.io/SyncPairsTracker/

For newcomers/beginners, check the video below on how to properly showcase your pairs : https://i.imgur.com/A0XcAgZ.mp4

[feral mesa]

Thank you

[leaden wraith]

tbh just use the team you like more

they will destroy everything anw

[feral mesa]

Right. This will just take too much time.

Who would some good options for the third slot with CBede and CMarnie? A speed buffer?

[leaden wraith]

someone with one bar move that has MGR9 like Leafvee or Skyla

[feral mesa]

Okay. Thanks

[rapid otter]

For cbede do I use triumphant and b freezing glare? Or just freezing glare and b freezing glar

Does his tm and b freezing glare both refresh when he syncs?

[nocturne pawn]

Yes

All his MP will be restored by 1 after any team member Syncs

[cobalt furnace]

I’ll reopen this forum
Reminder to for F2P team guides!

[urban ledge]

Used my ladies who rock team for hall 30 haha

[neat onyx]

does battle villa's lineup change at all

i swear i was fighting the same teams as last time

[cobalt furnace]

It’s the same enemies but the order is different

So sometimes it can be darach hall 10 and hilda hall 30, and sometimes it’ll be the opposite

There are groups of 5 hall stages and the order switches around

[urban ledge]

Rachel that lazy girl is always Hall 5

[long nimbus]

[hybrid abyss]

what are some battle villa teams? I wan tot see if I can copy one to see if it's faster than leaf, cred, leon

[leaden wraith]

i used Vilda Dj Gloria CRed , not the fastest but i enjoy using this team

[hybrid abyss]

I'm stuck with this team

no glojo

[cobalt furnace]

I use SST Red, Redlax, SS Steven. It’s extremely fast, with a turn 1 sync every hall

40 seconds per mob hall

[hybrid abyss]

Still waiting for a regular SSSteven rerun

[urban ledge]

No SST so I use Lucian SSSteven SSAynthia

Other than picking attack, all I do is spam the same 3 moves LMAO

Growl, Psycho Boost, and aura sphere

Oh and sync I guess

[placid depot]

Red/SS kris/SS Ethan for me

[grizzled oar]

SS Morty/SS Steven/Maxie have given me the best results so far. No gauge issue, unlimited healing and sp def debuffs.

[rain mesa]

Who shall i use for BV?

[leaden wraith]

check the pins for day 1 clear guide

[rain mesa]

Is there anything like sycamore for adaman?

Or cyrus is better doing this job?

[leaden wraith]

Cyrus is better since he buffs crit without MPR

[rain mesa]

Adaman has clutch crit so i thought he was better

Anyway do skyla need to be gridded gust mgr?

[leaden wraith]

oh right, i forgot he has Clutch Crit

Skyla doesnt need Gust MPR but it helps

[still wren]

Tips?

[nocturne pawn]

Pins for a team that can clear the whole villa without refreshes, otherwise just follow the basic teambuilding guidelines and you're golden

[still wren]

Problem: I run out of gauge too often

[nocturne pawn]

Outside of the initial Spacial Rend for Critical Focus you can just use Water Pulse and the other low-gauge moves until after Sycamore Syncs. Should be able to help manage gauge well enough until then

Since Sycamore is basically immortal due to Horn Leech gridding you can take longer to clear

[leaden wraith]

If your Skyla is already 3/5, you can grid Gust MGR9 to reliably charge gauge pre sync

[still wren]

How do you get 3/5 Skyla

[leaden wraith]

Use 3* support candies

They can be found in some events

[still wren]

What level must they be at

Is around 120 enough

[leaden wraith]

Beat 2 parts of battle challenge in every event

Note that each part only offers a kind of candy

[nocturne pawn]

Level 120 is sufficient for just about all content

[still wren]

Can I finish villa in 7 days

[long nimbus]

Absolutely, check the pins for one day clear and general tips

[urban ledge]

With practice you can do it in 1 haha

Or OP units perfectly suited for Villa

[still wren]

Anything you can recommend for all these at 1/5?

[leaden wraith]

Check the pins for day one guide

Why are Silver and Giovanni 1/5 btw?

[still wren]

Well, now they aren't

I just thought 5/5 for them is assumed

[fair thicket]

ig ssmorty + silver + sycamore n xerneas could do it

[copper nexus]

why sycamore

oh villa

I thought this was cs

[mild notch]

i got all medals from battle villa 😌

what a time

[urban ledge]

Noice

[rocky lava]

Hello wondering if G Max Moves are spammable per new hall level or you can just use it once for the entirety of the Battle Villa (without using MP refresh)?

And if using Leon Charizard with his passive MP rekindle also refreshes G Max Moves?

[stoic citrus]

Once per battle

And MP Rekindle doesn't refresh them

[rocky lava]

Aightt thanks Drift!

[hasty marlin]

Is irida good for villa? Thinking sc Lillie irida +1 (leaning toward cmarnie for main dps but the team would struggle with gauge then probs)
These screenshots have basically all my noteworthy limited scout pairs. Also prob could do sycamore in last slot for mpless spatk buff but idk if that’s worth it over other stuff like lucian or second dmg dealer possibly?
I always used sc Lillie since she tanks endlessly as long as she isn’t hit by pois/burn and gives teamwide max crit

[leaden wraith]

Irida is too reliant on zone/hail

SC Lillie + SS Ethan + Leaf/Skyla gridded with MGR9 should work well

or Sycamore + CMarnie + Leaf/Skyla

[zealous plover]

Is it worth skipping halls?

[leaden wraith]

yes unless you want 1 and 2* cookies

or the medals

[prime wing]

Rate my team

[hybrid abyss]

does sssteven's tm refresh or no?

[prime wing]

You can always use his form TMs

It's a free +6 of whatever stat you want every battle

[leaden wraith]

Overkill

[prime wing]

No such thing

[urban ledge]

Could use a better main tank

[still wren]

Is the Sycamore team working still

[cobalt furnace]

Nothing has changed with villa, so it should totally still work

[still wren]

Is it normal it gets a little slow?

[cobalt furnace]

Wdym by slow?

[still wren]

Move gauge doesn't go fast, sometimes they ult before me, etc

[leaden wraith]

Do you use the same team with same grid in the pins?

The problem of most Sycamore teams is the lack of early gauge

Thats why Skyla / Leaf has to grid MGR9

[still wren]

Isn't that 3/5

[leaden wraith]

Please dont ping me

Yes

You can get 2 3* support candies for Skyla in the summer event

[olive vale]

what's currently the "fastest" team to clear all stages? I'm currently using dojo gloria, SST red and Red, wonder if there's better 😮

[fleet plaza]

fastest imo is cMarnie, cBede, Lucian

[urban ledge]

Yeah Carnie sounds the fastest since she has a strong easy to setup AoE

I don’t have her so I use Red SSSteven and SSAynthia

[ebon valve]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009564564821639379/1073314169522245742/TripleS_Pikachu.mp4
SS Steven + Max Conductivity SST Red + Trainer Sync Redemption Ash
HS1 required on one of them.
If you fail max move queue, just use Ash's Not Gonna Lose to recover HP (if you previously got hit on another floor)

[cobalt furnace]

I usually use Redlax, SSSteven, and SSTRed, but Sages looks faster I think?

[ebon valve]

I took this from Ropalme1914, with Redlax you need to target TM and then MAX, this is more straightforward.

[olive vale]

Okay yeah indeed, looks cool, thanks 😄

[shadow willow]

Where is the battle villa f2p guide to complete in one for beginners

[nocturne pawn]

In the pins

[shadow willow]

Got it thanks

[leaden cargo]

Is there a better damage dealer than leon/charizard now? Want to run through battle villa faster

[leaden wraith]

there are many better dmg dealers than him

[urban ledge]

Absurdly many lol. Leon’s niche in Villa is that he’s got infinite mp, but there are more who are better at that now

[cobalt furnace]

~~Imo Cyrus was better from the start ~~

[leaden cargo]

Who’s the best i never bothered to keep up since leon never had any problems

[urban ledge]

Cyrus has infinite mp?

Oh wait the Crit buff thing

[leaden cargo]

So Cyrus is the best overall?

[cobalt furnace]

I think SS Steven or Ash are the best overall

https://youtu.be/Znv2cfNI1ME
Here’s probably the “best” team

[urban ledge]

There’s also SS Ethan but god I hate having to constantly switch tapping locations

[urban ledge]

Hmm what team do I want to meme Hall 30 with this time…

[urban ledge]

Decided on my supportless poison girls team haha

[potent aurora]

Any good team

😭

[nocturne pawn]

Battle Villa is very easy, can use pretty much whatever. If you wanna go from start to finish without using the daily refreshes there’s an f2p team for that in the pins

[forest tendon]

does B move MP refresh between BV battles? or are they consumed like normal TMs?

[nocturne pawn]

The MP would be consumed

[noble widget]

Does it matter which floor I skip?

[leaden wraith]

no

just skip to the highest hall

[noble widget]

Ok ty

The bonus rewards don’t matter much right?

[leaden wraith]

just choose the random reward

[forest tendon]

I used SST REd Ash SS Steven this time and it's noticeably faster than Redlax Xerneas and SS Steven LOL boy I've wasted a lot of time

[urban ledge]

Haha yeah

I think that’s currently the number one fastest team

[potent aurora]

How this medal work I literally used the team pinned on here 😭

[cobalt furnace]

You have to not use any full recoveries (the button at the bottom)

[potent aurora]

I didnt
