Battle Rally

[cobalt furnace]

Did you use the hall skip?

[potent aurora]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-future-drake-life-is-good-high-off-life-gif-18160700

[urban ledge]

Yeah if you want that medal you’re not allowed to skip, have to start from the beginning

[mild laurel]

Best team for the battle villa? This is my current sync pairs so far

[nocturne pawn]

Are you planning to go for the “no refreshes” medal?

[mild laurel]

No

I used my refresh already

[nocturne pawn]

Then it doesn’t really matter as long as your teams have proper synergy

[mild laurel]

Out of my sync pairs, which ones synergizes well for the battle villa?

[leaden wraith]

Check the pins for a solid accessible team

[nocturne pawn]

Battle Villa doesn’t require any special synergy, just follow the Teambuilding 101 guidelines and you’re golden

[rain mesa]

Is there a better team than generic Cyrus team?

[leaden wraith]

Based on your roster, no

Summer Gloria is not better than Cyrus, but you can try a team with her

[cobalt furnace]

Dojo Gloria’s sure crit might be nice, but you don’t seem to have a lot of MPless attack buffers to compensate

[leaden wraith]

If Sycamore is power boosted he has semi reliable passive atk buffs

[rain mesa]

I see, thanks for the answer!

[hasty marlin]

Is anni raihan a bigger villa nuke than irida? Doing irida, raihan, and sclillie for max crit while not being gauge stressed

Like I know ice zone theoretically might make hers stronger but I can have both weather and interference boosts for raihan set up too…

So it makes me actually unsure who comes out on top

[cursive monolith]

Is there any tier list or guide for best supports and pairs for villa?

[leaden wraith]

im afraid that we dont have a tierlist for that

[cursive monolith]

And are there any general pairs that are considered best for villa?

Maybe like Eevee or Blastoise

[placid depot]

any support that can buff stats without using TMs

or having an easy way to refresh TMs (Sync Burst, G-Max Replenish, etc)

[thick mauve]

if you have limited units then ash, sst red, ssteven, ssethan, cmarnie... are some of the best dmg dealer, for support sskris, cbede, redlax
lucian is used in a lot of these comps because most are special strike so his debuff is helpful

the 3 new kanto champion are good too but you have to manage the rebuff and it's a bit annoying, gauge issue sometimes too

[cursive monolith]

Who is redlax?

[thick mauve]

classic red

with snorlax

[cursive monolith]

Oh makes sense

Is there any sync pair that can make gradual healing without mp move?

[thick mauve]

you don't really need that much heal, mp refresh from redlax or sskris should be enough, 1 mini potion is still overheal for each round

and with fast team like sstred or ssteven you deny/1shot them most of the time they don't have any chance to attack you

[cursive monolith]

Yeah but I don't have most of the ones you named🥲

[thick mauve]

sscynthia can also heal everytime she attacks

[thick mauve]

then it's roster dependent, you can use the f2p team from pin, safe but slow

[thick mauve]

you don't really have a strong aoe striker here but i guess you can use C.Leaf, SS.Red and SSMorty, Morty can heal the team under sun anyway, for 3vs3 stage 1 sun from leaf Bmove should be enough

for 3v6 and 3v9 you can try to get sunny day mpr if you want but it's not needed

only problem is you don't have support to buff your 2 dps

can use sycamore but he's slow af

[cursive monolith]

I have some leftover candies

Are there any pairs you'd recommend me using them on?

[thick mauve]

not really, i don't recommend using candy for this. you can still do it comfortably just slower.
SSKris banner is still running but also don't recommend pulling if you don't have enough gems.
The current units are still way stronger than BV enemies so even without offensive buffs you still wipe them in 1-2 shots

[cursive monolith]

I don't mean using them for this but for a sync pair in general

[leaden wraith]

thats a question for #poma-questions

not here

[cursive monolith]

Ok

From what floor should I start choosing additional rewards?

[thick mauve]

every floor unless you still have to finish the medal then you can choose other items

you also have 9 units so don't have to use 3, can just use ssred + cleaf + 7 supports and switch them up after a few stages

[cursive monolith]

Yeah, didn't cross my mind

Probably I'll do that, thanks

[oak jolt]

Finally changed my villa team after a long time

[jolly moth]

i was told there is a f2p team that clears in one day?

[nocturne pawn]

[jolly moth]

pogu

[simple frost]

how do you do 1/5 NC Birds in BV? :(?

just Leaf -> Leer
Blue -> Discharge
Red -> Blizzard
?_?

[cobalt furnace]

Not really much of a point using them all together
Blue for villa doesn’t provide much offensively to a birb team, and he can’t heal without MP

[simple frost]

i see....

guess i'll just do my SS Steven + Redlax + Xerneas @_@

[cobalt furnace]

Why xerneas

[simple frost]

speed, self tanking, and whatnot.

Redlax buffs Xerneas for Crit

sooooo

[cobalt furnace]

Redlax can tank himself

Do you have any MPless sync accelerators? I use SSSteven/Redlax/SSTRed for super speedy clears (approx 40 seconds per stage)

[simple frost]

i have SST Red

[thick mauve]

xerneas is too slow, he's great for f2p clear but with premium units he's redundant

[simple frost]

I also have uh

SS May

i use my team for everything so yeah o-o

[cobalt furnace]

She only has -1 without MP, that’s too slow

TRed has -3 from his max

[simple frost]

so basically Paulo? lol

[cobalt furnace]

He gets a lot of his accel from MP so idt he’s better than TRed unless he’s 4/5 and has the HS1 LS
Even then, his damage is lower than TRed without buffs, and sand chip is also mildly annoying

[daring peak]

MAX Countdown 3

Reduces the user's sync move countdown by 3 after using its max move.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Sygna Suit Red (Thunderbolt) & Pikachu

If you like the bot, consider becoming a Patron: https://patreon.com/PoryphoneBot

[lethal widget]

i use Gal Moltres, Girafaring and Gal Articuno and its sooo easy

[oak jolt]

I liked using him with NC Red and Deox Speed, basically they only have the very 1st turn to hit me

[cobalt furnace]

What is he even doing on that comp besides tanking

[oak jolt]

Buffs special attack and tops off deoxis speed critical

[cobalt furnace]

Do you need until after first sync to clear a 3v3 stage?

[sweet mango]

What is the strategy for ss steven, redlax and sstred in villa?

I’m still using sstred ash leaf and eevee

[cobalt furnace]

GMAXVoltCrash (and quadqueue a Thunder Shock), You and Me, Attack.
Then sync (my SSSteven and Redlax have head start as a LS)

What move level is your Ash?
If he’s 3/5, use this https://youtu.be/Znv2cfNI1ME?si=ll_VL1b0HN5dIOrD

[cobalt furnace]

Got around to recording so here’s my comp vs hall 22

If you need to heal, you can use Mini Potion turn one, and use Psycho Boost to denial left before syncing (if you dont have HS1, this is what you’ll have to do). Alternatively you could use minipotion after sync (if they survive sync), since it’ll be refreshed next round.

Steven is 1/5 while the Reds are 3/5, but move levels aren’t necessary. Having Max Conductivity is nice for the boss halls so you can use Bolt Tackle, but not needed

[pallid barn]

hello can I do BV with my current roster blob:https://pomasters.github.io/627d590e-3cd1-4101-ba53-3c98021925d6

idk if that link is working

[cobalt furnace]

Check the pins for the F2P guide to BV. Cyrus and Sycamore are both really good for F2P in villa, so it takes specific pairs for something better.

Skyla doesnt really need her grid if she’s just 1/5

(Also as an aside, make sure to claim and power up all 8 legendary adventure units. #bot-zone message )

[copper nexus]

Is this Paulo theme?

[cobalt furnace]

Yup

[copper nexus]

Oh neat

[pallid barn]

ahh thx

[still wren]

Thoughts for more efficient Villa play?

[leaden wraith]

check the pins for f2p one day clear team

[still wren]

I mean other than that

[leaden wraith]

you can use NC Red instead of Cyrus

is your Irida 3/5?

[still wren]

Nope

[leaden wraith]

so Leafvee + Sycamore + NCRed then

grid Leafvee with MGR9 to carry gauge pre Sycamore sync

[still wren]

Adaman?

[leaden wraith]

oh i didnt notice him, is he 3/5?

[still wren]

No

I have one candy of each if that matters

[leaden wraith]

save until you have 2

i think 1/5 Adaman is already useful, but you lack passive atk buffing units

while NC Red is just better, even at 1/5

[still wren]

Is Red good even without

Its B move

[leaden wraith]

you can use Blizzard first turn to apply aoe rebuff

in longer battles you have his sync to apply rebuff one more time

[thick mauve]

Cred cblue lucian

Speed is all you need, don’t even need sp atk buff

[oak jolt]

But Deox Speed cuts a turn, so for 3v3 is basically the the same turns I guess

However for 3v3 you can just use Deox attack and one shot with him

[upper lake]

...I think I need a better Battle Villa team than Cyrus/Skyla/Sycamore

that team is too damn slow

and requires too many resets for my liking

[queen tartan]

why do people use SST Red in villa??? apologies but a lot of people recommend him but im kinda slow on the draw

[leaden wraith]

Solid aoe dps + Elec Terrain on max move (3/5 tho) + sync accel

[queen tartan]

noted! mines 3/5 so im trying him out this time

[nocturne pawn]

Unless you’re trying to go for the “no refreshes” medal you can just use 3 normal teams and do it day-by-day

If you are doing the medal, then it’s just a one-time deal

[cobalt furnace]

Guaranteed crit too

[pallid barn]

so BV is possible with pinned team too ? I dont have the orbs for mp refresh tho

[cobalt furnace]

MP refresh on skyla? Shouldn’t be needed, but you need critical focus on cyrus

[pallid barn]

I didnt release MP doesnt reset and I am out of MP for potion already xD

but i think I would need it for next battle

[half sonnet]

Are there any good teams for Autoing, or is that not possible

[placid depot]

hmm, I don't think I've heard of BV auto before

[urban ledge]

No teams can auto Villa in one day

[pallid barn]

What can I use to replace skyla in pinned comps my skyla died

[nocturne pawn]

Are you specifically trying for the no refreshes medal?

[half sonnet]

Nah, it's just a bore doing it manually

[granite river]

3rd Anni trio can auto all 30 stages with only one refresh in my experience

[pallid barn]

nope just a normal clear , I dont have 3/5 skyla so just aiming to finish battle villa 30

[nocturne pawn]

Then you can just use whatever and make use of the daily refreshes

The Skyla + Cyrus + Sycamore team is really only a big deal if either 1) you wanna get the no refreshes medal, or 2) a banner is about to leave and you need to finish the rest of BV that day

[pallid barn]

ohh I was trying that team but lost in round 15 had to use a refresh there

its a bit slow so sometimes opp syncs before me

[upper lake]

I am not going for the medal, I just want to get over with BV as quickly as possible

Since it's such a slog

[oak jolt]

Stuffs like NC Red, or Deoxys steamroll villa pretty fast, but if you don't have them I guess Cyrus is your best bet

If you have Lucian I guess Cyrus + sycamore+ Lucian would be quite good

Spdef debuffs should help one shorting with hydropump

[upper lake]

Yeah, I don't have NC Red or Deoxys

[oak jolt]

You don't have to go strictly f2p if you have some premium units, but depends on what units you have

[urban ledge]

Yeah some premiums excel in Villa, some don’t

At least in the clear in one day sense

[vivid spruce]

Anyone know what 3 teams would be best for me to use in battle villa?

I'm at 14 rn, full health on all monsters and still have today's reset

I would like to finish the villa before the end

Oh hi gakon

I finished all the legendary ;;

[leaden wraith]

Check the pins for a no mpr rely team

[vivid spruce]

What's mpr rely team?

[leaden wraith]

Well no mpr team is a team that doesnt use TM to clear, if thats what you mean

[vivid spruce]

Ohhh okie dokie

I will check pin out

I'm still new and I might not have enough resource to 140 all 9 characters. Will it be sufficient enough?

[leaden wraith]

You dont need lvl 140

[vivid spruce]

Just 125 right?

[leaden wraith]

Lvl 120 or 125 are fine

[vivid spruce]

Nice

Thank you

Is Skylar f2p unit?

[simple frost]

So there's this team that i use in Battle Villa

its very very time consuming though.

but it'll get the job done.

[vivid spruce]

i have bad hands;;

[simple frost]

Xerneas - Eevee - Clemont

[vivid spruce]

xerneas eevee clemont

clemont is the life steal character right

[simple frost]

Yes

[vivid spruce]

okie

[simple frost]

your eevee is 3/5 enough so

that should be good

[vivid spruce]

i think my clemont is also 3/5

not sure

yea

125 3/5

i just need to level xernas and eevee

[simple frost]

you put Xerneas in the 1st slot, then eevee 2nd and clemont

[vivid spruce]

eevee in middle

[simple frost]

ifXerneas is weak, use Eevee with Recuperation

Eevee with Tackle MGR9

[vivid spruce]

whats mgr9?

[simple frost]

Move Gauge Refresh 9

[vivid spruce]

oh grid

okie dokie

[simple frost]

essentially, you use tackle, you and get move gauge as soon as you use tackle

anyways

[vivid spruce]

do i need to use any buffs in the beginning of the stage?

[simple frost]

Nope.

[vivid spruce]

or is it just infinite cycle of healing

okie dokie

[simple frost]

infinite cycle of healing

sync with either Xerneas or Eevee.

[vivid spruce]

recup doesnt need pp right?

[simple frost]

Nope.

[vivid spruce]

nice

[simple frost]

as long as Eevee uses her sync move

its +30% HP back (or 40% its been a while)

[vivid spruce]

do u have grids for the pokes?

[simple frost]

you can spam eevee's Sync Move to max out all the stats.

[vivid spruce]

by any chance?

[simple frost]

uhh

hold on let me get in

[vivid spruce]

[nocturne pawn]

Is there a specific reason you’re avoiding the team in the pins for doing the whole Villa in one go?

[vivid spruce]

not really

i was looking for like a decent 2nd and 3rd team

that i can just auto for 1round or 2

and then clear the rest with the team given in the pin

[nocturne pawn]

You don’t need a 2nd or 3rd team if using the Skyla/Sycamore/Cyrus team, and you don’t use auto

[vivid spruce]

but rei told me that they have ateam i can use

[nocturne pawn]

If you wanna use multiple teams just use regular teams and make use of the daily refreshes

[simple frost]

for xerneas, uh.... i dont remember what i used on him, probably Horn Leech.

but essentially the team is built on Healing your entire team through moves only

[vivid spruce]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=019400048400&s0=5&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=1111&g0=AAECAwQFBhcaHyIjJCgrLw&v1=013600071600&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=0&t1=11111&g1=AAECAwQFExYXGBweISMkLw&v2=001600058100&s2=5&l2=140&r2=3&p2=0&a2=0&t2=11111&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDhARFBUXGCYo

is it this one?

[simple frost]

without ever having to use Trainer Moves

That can work if Xerneas is not the main tank/alternate

[vivid spruce]

but in this case xerneas is

;;

[simple frost]

depends on your opponents i guess

[vivid spruce]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/13601/71600?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFExYfISMkJSgvMDEyMzQ

maybe this one?

[simple frost]

ohthat one

[vivid spruce]

pog

[simple frost]

is for Xerneas Power Boost

[vivid spruce]

oh

[simple frost]

that means you dont have access to it

[vivid spruce]

wait so i cant use it

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/13600/71600?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=18040802&g=AAECAwQFGhseHyAhIyQlKCst

[simple frost]

you cannot unless you can clear the Kalos Villain Arc, which has to rerun.

[vivid spruce]

this one?

[simple frost]

yeah that should work

you can also drop a master healer for a Helping Hand 2 if you need it.

[vivid spruce]

pro for poisoning teams

[simple frost]

i think there are a few that can poison your xerneas

but i think paralyze is something you should look out for.

[nocturne pawn]

You don’t need to drop any Master Healer tiles for that

[vivid spruce]

oh true

wait i dont?

[simple frost]

oh right.

[vivid spruce]

oh nice

[simple frost]

anyways

[vivid spruce]

so how does the cycle go?

do i just use tackle with eevee first

[simple frost]

i kinda remember doing 1 to 30 with this team

okay for cycle is essentially

eevee - tackle
clemont - Electroweb

and just keep spamming those

Only Horn Leech when you need to heal up.

[nocturne pawn]

Why is Clemont spamming Electroweb instead of Parabolic Charge

You’re already dealing absurdly low damage with that team, might as well get healing out of it

[vivid spruce]

as long as it doesnt take more than 5 minutes to clear a round

and maybe 8-10 minutes for round 4,5

[simple frost]

its longer than that iirc .-.;

[vivid spruce]

;;

[simple frost]

no crit means, you deal less damage than the team in the pins.

hence why Vampire team. you basically endure your opponent's hits

(Eevee isn't really a vampire but she can heal herself back up in her sync w/ recuperation 2)

the first few halls is easy enough

but it gets kinda messy as soon as you hit hall 25

especially if Xerneas is weak to Steel moves

if you want Clemont to do actual damage, you have to use Electroweb

for his Sync

especially if you already maxed out your buffs

[vivid spruce]

hmm

do you think it will take more than 2 hours for 14-30?

[simple frost]

its been a while since i've done vampire stuff; but in 2ish hours probably.

[nocturne pawn]

If you’re gonna do it all with one team the one in the pins would be much more consistent

[vivid spruce]

hmm

i will try both

i will let you know once i try both

[simple frost]

o/

[vivid spruce]

0/

[simple frost]

oh btw

you can definitely do

[vivid spruce]

yea

[simple frost]

ah nvm

[vivid spruce]

why

i wanna know

[simple frost]

you can try both i guess

[vivid spruce]

okie

[simple frost]

good luck then~

[vivid spruce]

ty ty

[thick mauve]

you have a great roster, no need to use f2p options

use sskris, lucian and an aoe dps like cRed or ssethan

it'll take 20-30 mins at most

[nocturne pawn]

Ah, right, there’s an SS Ethan there

Yeah, that’s just a win

[leaden wraith]

Thats a bad team why did you recommend this

[thick mauve]

rotation @vivid spruce
sskris: rain dance -> tm (if you get mp refresh use tm again ) if not use potion/attack -> sync to get mp back, then you can just spam atk move
lucian: spam growl all the way
ssethan: tm then aero blast, rinse and repeat / if you use cRed: blizzard then spam bmove, if you run out of rebuff spam blizz

deny turn is useful but not needed

[nocturne pawn]

Yeah, the above would be way better for doing the whole Villa in one go

[hasty marlin]

hmmm, is there a better third to NCRed + Proton? feel like protons prob my BIS mpless spatk buffer, without having to rely on sync for the spatk. or would CMarnie be better than NCRed maybe?

(i have ice gear so would be using ice bandana here instead probs)

like would mpless speed be better than sclillie's sustain?

[leaden wraith]

You can use Lucian for spdef debuff

You can use treat or full recovery

Both Red and Marnie destroy everything regardless

[hasty marlin]

slight offtopic but did Agatha just...
KO herself with her TM before i could finish her last like 5% hp? i didnt even know that was possible for the AI to do.

[urban ledge]

Yep she can

Also in CS MM iirc

[urban ledge]

Since it’s Halloween decided to use an all dark team for Hall 30 haha

[vast narwhal]

Hey lads

Whats a good f2p team?

[proud knot]

I am learning a LOT of meta from just reading the starting post, Arceus above.

[west abyss]

Look at the pins.

[vast narwhal]

Alrighty

Huh wow

Skyla, Sycamore and Skyla

Interestinf

[west abyss]

Skyla Sycamore Cyrus you mean

[vast narwhal]

I just written skyla's twice

I need coffee

[dry ice]

This truly was a @opal bolt moment.

[opal bolt]

Real!!!

[vast narwhal]

Wow this f2p team is nuts

It got me to battle villa 10

[simple frost]

Is that a 3/5 articuno?

Ah it is.

[proud knot]

So, averaging 2 battles per heal is the norm for the meta based team, so averaging 4 is good then with a different team? Johto Gang is holding their own, I'm just using them a bit smarter this time since I have to manage MP haha

Alright, Shauntal nearly took out my Support, time to call it after battle 5. Not bad for a single team run through on the first day!

[dry ice]

gonna be honest, the 3/5 was pretty negligible.

[simple frost]

Yep

[pallid barn]

Can I get the badge if I skip the halls

[west abyss]

No

The full recovery one right?

[mild rune]

rei is really good for villa
he gives himself 4 atk/3 crit as a passive so you don't need to bring any atk buffer which is really nice

[nocturne pawn]

Unless you’re going for the no refreshes medal you can just use 3 teams each day and be fine

If you are going for the no refreshes then there’s a team in the pins for that

[vivid spruce]

i used xerneas main tank and NC red NC blue

to clear without reset

its enough heal and tank to last 30 rounds

ok then idk what to tell you

[west abyss]

NC Red is already great, what are you struggling with?

[vivid spruce]

its easy to run through round 30 if you use 9 pokemons and a reset

u dont need buffs

with nc re

[west abyss]

Doesn't matter, you've got guaranteed crit that's all you really need. I clear it without buffing Red at all

[vivid spruce]

d

until round 25+

yes and use xerneas as tank

and dont use any tm skills until round 25

at round 25, you use articuno tm + 1 zapdos heal

[west abyss]

Using Xerneas and syncing with it means you get +6 SpAtk on Red anyway

[vivid spruce]

and at round 30, u use everything, sync with zapdos first

[vivid spruce]

round 25 ends with 1 sync with either one of them if you 140 3/5+ on all 3 pairs

i tested it with all 3 of my accounts rn

yes

[west abyss]

In any case you've got tonnes of time, and you get a full recover daily

[vivid spruce]

u dont need it with that team

unless u are doing something wrong

[west abyss]

You do not

NC Red will breeze through it

[vivid spruce]

my second account nc blue is only 1/5 and it cleared the same way

no u dont

and u cant ex sycamore unless u unlocked it throuhg event

but u might wanna at least 135 or 130 all 3 of them

all of my accounts have those 3 135+ so

[west abyss]

They're a new player, I wouldn't recommend using up resources past Lvl 120/125 when you can just wait for reset

[vivid spruce]

^

if you dont have resource, use reset ticket

i whaled

so

my main took 12 minutes to clear from 20-29

[west abyss]

Well he shouldn't just sit there, so yeah

[vivid spruce]

if ur 3/5 on nc blue, i think u get free move next

idk which tile it is

[west abyss]

You get free move next regardless, it's his passive

[vivid spruce]

oh yea

then u spam discharge

free turn for sync

[west abyss]

Are you familiar with triple queuing btw? you should always have a move queued

[vivid spruce]

will be hard to triple queue with those 3

[west abyss]

It won't matter for easier content like story/BV, but it's quite critical as you progress

[vivid spruce]

u dont need triple queue tho

u have to spam horn leech

for heal

and u have to tile it

[west abyss]

Just go NC Red, Sycamore, Skyla instead. Much easier queuing, Skyla has a great potion kit

There's details on it in the pins

[vivid spruce]

skyla needs orbs tho

nc blue doesnt

1/5 is fine if free move next is passive

[west abyss]

True, tbh you can just go whatever, none of the stages are particularly hard

[vivid spruce]

this is true if you are returning or has alot of orbs early

100%

not until 25

just use red sync

all rounds end before 2 syncs, even then, same result at 2 syncs

u want to use blizzard until theres only middle left

horn leech is if xerneas took damage

if they used non damage move, use the 2 guage move

dazzling i think

its aoe+ less bar consume if you didnt use orbs for grid on sycamore

if u grid sycamore, you get 1 bar back after horn leech i think

[west abyss]

Blizzard + Horn Leach is not going to work without guage help. Either sync with sycamore for +6 speed, or change your team around a little bit

[vivid spruce]

idk i grid sycamore as soon as i got him

thats why u spam blizzard, and dazzling glim

until there only one left

and u swap the guage use around by using ice + horn leech to heal

but i can spam horn leech on all my accounts cuz grid

3 guage move but i get 1 back after i use it

so its 2

and remember, u dont need to triple queue

goal is to kill all mobs and taking least amount of damage or heal most back on ur main tanked(xerneas)

same problem i ran into with my accounts

[west abyss]

Don't grid something specifically for villa if you're that low on orbs. You get 9 sync pairs per day and a full recovery, just do as much as you can

[vivid spruce]

i just whaled on all 3 and bought sync orb pass

true but xerneas is worth gridding

its used for alot

yes

most important is keeping ur xerneas alive

so when u get the chance, use horn leech

and do not

use auto

triple speed is fine

[west abyss]

If you're going to invest some sync orbs, just pick up the Horn Leech Master Healer tile for Sycamore

[vivid spruce]

if u need to, sync with xerneas

its more damage

i sync with xern on 5th rounds

so like 10, 15,20

and on 25, u use articuno tm so u dont sync with xern, but instead sync with zapdos

if u have ex unlocked ofc

if not, just sync with red

which round are u at

it should be a breeze but let me tell you how it goes:

queue discharge with zapdos first

wait for .5 bar for blizzard

and then queue discharge again

u should have 2.3 bars

u wait for blizzard

queue discharge

and then you use horn leech

dischage

yes

and by the time u kill 2x sides

because they have 2 pokemons for each side

your middle should be low health

u spam ice beam and if you spam click on ice beam when it dies, it queues again before it gets blocked

or, u save sync for second middle pokemon so u get ice debuff on it so u can use ice beam again

either way

thats how it should be played

W

managing type rebuff is important so you need alot of practice with it until you maange to manipulate around it

you get used to it

honestly, whaling kinda got me a huge boost on practice on end game contents and i got used to it fast because i had training wheels + 2 alt accounts with same amount of resource as main

but if you are not doing it, it will prob take alot of time

to get to the point where u can understand in depth

the point is to burn resource to try things and fail

this game is very f2p friendly tho

^ good habit but not for villa imo

cuz its a marathon not a race

so it will consistantly debuff or buff or do damage

to ur team

and usually side pokemons do aoe damage

and articuno cant heal it self + zapdos needs to save both heals for round 25 and 30

so its all about killing sides asap

its very consistant and u dont have to wait extra days for reset

if anything, you should only need 2 resets at most)because pairs are not gridded+low level)

no

i always go for extra rewards

because at this point, u are not going for flawless run

so u can use a reset to heal pairs

and firepower is not the problem with nc blue+ nc red

so go for extra rewards

it will help in the future

i usually restart unless its near the end

cuz u wanna save his TM for late rounds

like 25+

there is paralys and burn somewhere there

[leaden wraith]

status condition doesnt carry into next floor, so dont worry

you can simply reset the battle

to avoid poison

[vivid spruce]

if u get poisoned early, its bad

like when round starts

u get poisoned, u just have to restart

oh then u just finish

and heal next round with horn leech

oh btw i was here to ask

are there any kind of pairs i need to prepare for legendary arena thing

thats coming soon?

its my first one

[leaden wraith]

#1009562367803261078 or #1012311116778586182 for specific help

[vivid spruce]

okie

[leaden wraith]

if its LG, check out the latter channel

[west abyss]

Hey just wanted to clarify a few things here. I don't think it's a problem on your end necessarily, it's the strategy if I'm being honest. Triple queueing is a fundamental mechanic of the game, and especially as a new player, you should always be aiming to implement it in whatever gamemode you're playing. Strongly recommend having a read of #1010307000346878062 to get caught up on the basics. Also have a read of the pins in this channel, they're great for getting caught up with how BV works.

In terms of your team, I'd replace Sycamore with Skyla, and at the very least just grid MGR9. Sycamore isn't achieving much here if you're not going to sync with him. Since your red is 4/5, I assume you've invested in his grid, so you can make a new preset for battle villa. You can pick up Recharging Strike 9 to help with gauges if you need to, and don't pick up Hail nodes if you're not running a Hail setter.

[oak jolt]

NC Red + Sycamore is s great combo

[vivid spruce]

im recording the run on it

[leaden wraith]

this is against the rule of this server, better deleting these messages before any mod sees this

[vivid spruce]

i have to cut the other video into pieces cuz it is 18 minutes long

its uploading

Basically, the run took about 50 minutes but it should have taken less(i went to the bathroom mid way through). You can do the math with the energy countdown on top right if you are curious. I also didnt use sync moves at the last round to show that syncs are not needed therefore triple queueing unimpactful moves are not needed if you cant. would have taken shorter if i used sync moves regardless of triple queueing.

the villa started today so im pretty sure we dont get a full heal

i didnt use any items either

complete Round 1 to Round 30 run flawless

i also only recorded from round 21-30 because the other rounds dont matter as much

at the end of the video, you can see that i click on the Heal Bag button to show that i didnt use any items or heals

[pallid barn]

YeH 0 full recovery

[west abyss]

Yes you can't get the medal if you skip

[vivid spruce]

the video i uploaded saved on my personal gmail so i have to reupload it to a gaming google account

i will link the drive link here once its done uploading

[pallid barn]

So was going through discussion above and it seems the team for medal is Syca red skyla

[vivid spruce]

ok i just have to trim the entire end part but it shows round 30 clear and the entire video is continuous so it should be fine

and we dont get full heal on day 1 so it should be fine

[west abyss]

Should work Have a read of the pins for some tips on Skyla & Sycamore, there's also a link for what grids you should use

[vivid spruce]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d5hgQEQ5KWL_6lENcoSyNWXET5HiEqg0/view?usp=share_link I reuploaded the video on my gaming account. Its processing right now but it should be done soon. Check #1009564564821639379 message and the explanation below it. @eternal nebula

[pallid barn]

Yeah was way easier than I thought lol

I think using zap is better even if it is 1/5 it is just too op

I switched to zap at round 25 and it was too strong

[eternal nebula]

Do I just sweep with NC Red Irida and NC Blue/Sycamore or stick to 3rd anni trio?

[leaden wraith]

thats up to you

but Red and Irida team clears more smooth

[eternal nebula]

Ok. Yeah at least I won't have to go max move before I can AoE spam

[rapid notch]

What form of steven is best for BV and what team would be good with him?(He's 1/5)
These are my supports

[fleet plaza]

Attack form is best 90% of the time because it maxes its stats and has an aoe sync, both things which are primordial for BV

now for the matter of the team

again since he maxes stats, you don't need a buffer

[rapid notch]

So just gauge support?

[fleet plaza]

you don't have a single copy of Lucian?

[rapid notch]

I have him 5/5

[fleet plaza]

oh yeah those are supports lmfao i'm stupid

[rapid notch]

Not ex tho

[fleet plaza]

not to worry, Lucian is purely there to spam Growl

[rapid notch]

So Lucian Steven and?

[fleet plaza]

just grid him for this https://i.imgur.com/Lvqd6w1.png which is the gauge support

for the third (the tank) hmm

you can use Redlax

his max move will refresh 1 MP of his TM/Mini Potion

so that's really good to fasten sync accel for Steven to nuke (although -3 would have been ideal but whatev), and heal eventual damage taken

just make sure you use his max move before ending any fight

there might be better options if some other people weigh in, but i feel like these are ok

[rapid notch]

Looks good?

[fleet plaza]

yeah

[rapid notch]

Also should i use redlax support sync or skip straight to steven sync

[fleet plaza]

straight steven sync

BV is garbage

he'll oneshot stuff

[rapid notch]

Should I use turn denial on H20,24,24,29 and 30?

Or just nuke mid then focus on sides

[west abyss]

It really does not matter

I'd just nuke mid

[fleet plaza]

yep

again, BV is trash content from 2020 so don't sweat it

[thick mauve]

yeah the team is easy clear, for 3vs3 redlax is ok, for 3v6 and 3v9 sskris might be better

[urban ledge]

Yeah Lucian + SSSteven is golden. You just need a self healing tank like Redlax or KriSS. I personally use SSAynthia because i ship her with Steven on top of her being an undying self and team healing tank lol

[hasty marlin]

my default tank in BV is sclillie, personally, although i started using Proton recently for faster clears instead tbh, since im using units that just need spatk

[fleet plaza]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1011234431291359302/1160505597918183444/Record_2023-10-08-11-13-49_e0bcd2221fd4f2bd308a18aca1be7936.mp4?ex=6534e80f&is=6522730f&hm=7b8e4cc4489b65281b9ba413e57a4efee5c1a0bdd4873ab25cfdd6f6ea4cdc37& my go to personally, it takes 2 turns with good range, 0 effort even on 3v9

[cobalt furnace]

You should 5/5 SS Steven so you can save time by not using Draining Kiss

Wait did you not pull SS Acerola? Or are you intentionally not using her since she’d lack GTerrain recovery

[simple frost]

that's actually quite a team o_o

Oh the SS Steven is 1/5

[leaden wraith]

you get a full recovery everyday

so feel free to use it

[leaden wraith]

you can try using another unit

waiting is also an option

you can just bring another teammate at this point

[west abyss]

You're on the last Hall?

[leaden wraith]

Hall 30 is the last hall

[west abyss]

Blue still has most of his MPRs

[granite river]

pretty sure you can clear hall 30 even with only those 2

[viral loom]

Is there a doc (or something) with fastest villa speedrun comps?

[west abyss]

Not really, BV is way too easy

There is a f2p comp in the pins, but it'll by no means be the best

[viral loom]

Sure, but it's still slightly time consuming, so I was wondering if there's already a team who dethroned SSSteven and the rats

[west abyss]

Yeah I'm not too sure. My go-to is SS Steven + SS Kris and SS Wally for -3 CD so I can get to sync quicker

[west abyss]

This here looks like it's going to be pretty breezy

[fleet plaza]

yes i have no idea why i'm using Mina over Acerola either

[oak jolt]

SS acerola isn't that great In villa, all her buffs are MP based

[cobalt furnace]

In Dreamy’s scenario, she would be better than Mina thanks to the PMUN

[fleet plaza]

her passive gives pmun everytime a field is set, she doesn't need to touch anything

[oak jolt]

Not that it will be possible to spam fields without using mp

I guess she can get grassy terrain if 3/5 and you keep syncing with her

[cobalt furnace]

She has Terrain on entry that lasts 2 sync cycles
And Lana already had Psychic terrain on entry

It’d be faster than Mina, that’s all

[fleet plaza]

Yeah Lana already oneshots sides without the help of Acerola as shown in the video i posted, so this is bonus
did all the floors with no worry at all

[cobalt furnace]

Yeah but you could skip out on draining kiss with acerola

[jaunty snow]

Out of what I have, what would be a good team or teams for clearing straight through the villa with minimum resets and maximum rewards?
I could really use some lucky cookies and want to try to snag some of the low reset awards if possible

[leaden wraith]

check the pins for one day clear guide

[jaunty snow]

Just checking, does it work if Scyamore isn't Ex'd?

[leaden wraith]

EX Sycamroe doesnt matter

[jaunty snow]

Cool cool thank you

I also have Leaf/Eevee at 5/5
Is there a recommended sync grid for her for the comp?

[leaden wraith]

the Recup one, you can find her recommended builds in #1009587872342478908 pins

[jaunty snow]

Thank you!

[nimble tide]

what's everyone's dumb team to clear with?

Like the one with the LEAST effort

mine is still SSA Cynthia NC Hop and Colress XD

[fleet plaza]

this

but replace ss mina with ss acerola because i had a brainfart
it's effortless and the fastest i found

[urban ledge]

Mine is still Lucian SSAynthia (tank) SSSteven. Spam Growl, spam Vacuum Wave, Attack Forme spam Psycho Boost and always sync with SSSteven.

[oak jolt]

SS Steven, Sycamore, NC Red

Used to runs SS Steven, Aura Cynthia and Lucian before NC Red was a thing

They work basically the same, but I feel that the NC Red team is a bit faster

[eternal cedar]

Is there a support like Sycamore that can buff physical units without using TMs/having high mpr %?

[oak jolt]

I don't think there's anything that can give +6 att mp less and fast

[eternal cedar]

Mm ig I'll just use Sonia or smth then 😔 getting real bored of restarting for good mpr rolls near the last few stages

[west abyss]

There's Argenta with swords dance, no MPR needed. And there's Leaf for just +2 attack

[oak jolt]

Ah yes, argenta has regular sword dance

[eternal cedar]

Rip I don't have her

[oak jolt]

Same, that's why I didn't thought about her

[west abyss]

Yea I figured as much

[oak jolt]

SS acerola has B sword dance with 3 mp

[west abyss]

There's some f2p teams pinned here if you wanted to look at those

[eternal cedar]

I've been using those for a while but I got bored lol

[west abyss]

You can always just use 3 new teams everyday, and just wait for the next day to use 3 more

[granite river]

redlax can give +2 on maxe move too but he loose the mpr on potion then

[oak jolt]

Leaf can do that too with sync

Same for skyla

[eternal cedar]

Swapped to Halloween Roxanne, Adaman and kept sycamore for now. Roxanne and adaman are essentially gauge less after first hit and Roxanne builds up def spd and helps Adaman do more DMG w def debuffs, sycamore tanks and handles spdef and adaman doesn't need crit so it's been working ok so far but 😔

[eternal cedar]

True

[oak jolt]

But only argenta can give +6 fast

[eternal cedar]

Ig I'll swap to whoever self heals and buffs atk decently fast w mprs then

Thx for advice yall

[oak jolt]

I'll just use sycamore with special units, or just self sufficient ones

[eternal cedar]

yeah i was originally gonna swap him out but i cudnt find any physical supports similar to him which is y i asked here to check if im just blind or not 😔 the no restart dream is pain

[west abyss]

There are units with team shout, e.g. SS Blue/HJasmine who buff attack but really slowly

[oak jolt]

For units that start with +4 like the Hisui protags stuffs like leaf or Skyla will work

[west abyss]

They also have Team Fierce/Grand Entry, but again, pretty slow

[eternal cedar]

swapped to fall phoebe for this yeah

[eternal cedar]

also true ive been saving adaman's tm for a bit ill probs use it at the end then

[west abyss]

The new pheobe also buffs attack/sp atk

ah

yep

[eternal cedar]

costumes were gr8 and hoenn/unova r goats i had to get em 🥰 plus cofagrigus is cool af

[oak jolt]

Was talking about rei and Akari that start with +4 attack and max crit

[eternal cedar]

o shoot mb i completely forgot abt them dont have em sadly

dont rlly venture out of gen3/5 aside from a few one-off faves

[oak jolt]

I guess Defense Deoxys may be the second fastest attack buffer after argenta

But I think it gives +4 only

[west abyss]

Why would anyone use SS Steven as the support when he's one of the best BV pairs

[eternal cedar]

oo im stil waiting on his rerun hes the last one on my wishlist 😭

any clue when he might next come back?

[west abyss]

Impossible to predict

[eternal cedar]

ppl guessed anni last time and he wasnt there cuz dena is unpredictable af ig 😔

[oak jolt]

Yes that's why I didn't mentioned it initially, but maybe if someone really wants to use a physical unit for villa, I guess is an option

[eternal cedar]

ic, ig ill use him for tht whenever he comes around

[oak jolt]

Personally I'm using speed forme alongside NC Red, is super gauge friendly and I can sync earlier with sycamore, so I can boost NC Red spatk pretty fast

[eternal cedar]

;00 sounds fun af gaugeless units r rlly nice to have

[oak jolt]

It still uses gauges, but it charges extremely fast

[eternal cedar]

speed is always nice 🥰

[cobalt furnace]

The other Hoenn VA units reran but not him

Personally, I use SSSteven (Attack), SSTRed, Redlax

I get a turn 1 sync every hall to destroy the enemy
(This requires at least 2 HS1 Lucky Skills. I have them on Steven and Redlax)

[eternal cedar]

😭 hes literally the last one on my wishlist and then i can roll for whoever i wish he'd come by soon argh

[eternal cedar]

sweet, sync accel is cool af

[tranquil crystal]

@leaden wraith Was it you?

[leaden wraith]

hey thats me

[tranquil crystal]

You battle real nice 👍🏻

[west abyss]

NC Serena so very based

[gusty lake]

What's the best team I can make for fast clears? i also have NC Leaf for what it's worth

[minor ravine]

I realized your question never got answered…your 3/5 Irida and NC Red should do the trick. Grid Irida so she has Arctic Arrival if you have not. It summons zone in the beginning of battle. A Zerena team is also good.

Oh but I forgor BV ended by now

[gusty lake]

I ended up just using Moltres and Lele to go through but ima keep this in mind next month

Tysm

[urban ledge]

Unleashing my brand spanking new purple poison girls team haha

[outer jasper]

What’s like the definitively best team for Battle Villa if there is one?

Nvm found it

[thick mauve]

the new Red is also great for villa even at base, can just max move for terrain then spam bmove

[simple frost]

he heals himself too right with Grassy Terrain right?

[viral loom]

Is there one?

[simple frost]

there are a few comps that just, can blitz through 1 to 30, and not die/run out of mp refreshes.

It depends on who you've got i guess.

[leaden wraith]

they asked for the best team

not teams which can blitz through the entire villa

[simple frost]

The one i've been using these days Sycamore, SS Steven (3) and Redlax (1)

[viral loom]

Yeah I got no problem with SSSteven and the rats, just wondering if there's even a faster one

[leaden wraith]

i think this team is very good to clear fast

the best team is kinda subjective tho

[west abyss]

Yeah there's no best team

[simple frost]

wow that's actually pretty fast.

too bad i skipped the tapus. 😭

[viral loom]

Probably only Lele and SSSteven matter in that comp

Fini pick seems very upgradeable

[leaden wraith]

well because Dreamy doesnt have Bulu

[west abyss]

Does Fini have an MPR on her protect?

[leaden wraith]

not at all

[west abyss]

B-Move I mean

[leaden wraith]

no B Move has MPR so far

[west abyss]

Wait no

I mean

MP

Not refresh

[leaden wraith]

yes

[west abyss]

Is it like Marnie's with no MP or is it like Cerena's

[leaden wraith]

like Cerena's

[west abyss]

Ah okay

[leaden wraith]

Argenta and SS Acerola are straight upgrades

SST Red works there too, to help SS Lana stacks more PMUN

wait no, mb

Elec terrain conflicts with Psychic Terrain

[simple frost]

Argenta Spam Sword Dance?

[leaden wraith]

[leaden wraith]

what else she does then

[west abyss]

Big brain moments all around

[leaden wraith]

https://tenor.com/view/big-brain-markiplier-gif-14835823

[west abyss]

I've been using Argenta today, pretty neat cos infinite PMUN & quick tempo for gauge help

[leaden wraith]

Argenta is great yeah

wait Quick Tempo is grid exclusive?

[west abyss]

Yes

[simple frost]

its a 2/5 right?

ooof.

[west abyss]

I also have the swords dance free move

So we gaming

[simple frost]

that's 3/5. must be nice. 😮

[leaden wraith]

imagine having Argenta

[west abyss]

Imagine not

[simple frost]

i have her 1/5, and EX'd her recently

[west abyss]

I candied mine to 4/5

[simple frost]

wait, you 4/5 for Defense Crush 9? :o?

[west abyss]

Defense Crush & Recuperation yes, both are super valuable to me

[simple frost]

too bad, my next support candy is like... far away .-.

[ebon valve]

Funnier with Sound.
LF other fun clear teams.

[zealous plover]

Is there a list of good battle villa teams? I've been using the cyrus/skyla/sycamore team but I want to try out other teams now that I have a much better roster

[nocturne pawn]

Well unless you’re specifically going for the “no refreshes” medal and/or trying to clear the entire thing day 1 it’s pretty much a free-for-all and you can just use 3 regular teams each day

For “all in one day” or medal purposes, Sync Pairs who either don’t use MP (Sycamore and SS Steven are examples) or can reliably refresh it (Red + Snorlax, Anabel, and SS Ethan are examples) are good picks

[stark dawn]

ok wtf is that

villa any% speedrun

[simple frost]

what happens when you hit the 2 or 3 force battles one?

Change your team for those? :o?

[ebon valve]

They’re in the video.

They die, lol. nothing in villa stops rats

[simple frost]

its kinda slowly loading. oh it stopped .-.;

sadlife.

[ebon valve]

Ropal showed me this a while ago, as the fastest way to sweep the stages.

[simple frost]

so speed style Deoxys, and both rats.

[ebon valve]

Wait why are you downloading it? You can’t just watch it from mobile?

[simple frost]

uh yeah its loading really slowly on discord 😭

[ebon valve]

Yeah I named it that. Though I compressed it before I uploaded it to discord.

So I don’t know why it’s 400 MB

[simple frost]

its 44.5mb

o.o

[ebon valve]

+reading

[hexed patio]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/855438548684374045/1069103333429747752/image-2.png

[simple frost]

well the vid you uploaded is 44.5mb ;-;

[ebon valve]

Yeah I see the decimal point now

[simple frost]

anyways

i'll wait for it. i've got them all three. kuku

[ebon valve]

Red queues a max move and quads a Thunder shock and Ash restores Mp with sync

[simple frost]

Ash uses his Trainer Skill 2 then?

for maximum damage heh

[cobalt furnace]

He uses the TM that maxes his SpAtk

[ebon valve]

If ash takes damage from a prior round you can just queue the healing tm as well

[simple frost]

its dying rofl.

[ebon valve]

He gets Dmg guard so he can tank the next hit and then sync

[simple frost]

oh so Ash is the prio 1 in tactics?

[ebon valve]

Yea

[ebon valve]

There’s a normal speed version here: #1009564564821639379 message

[cobalt furnace]

https://youtu.be/Znv2cfNI1ME

[ebon valve]

Steven or someone needs HS1 to do the quad sync trick. Otherwise you just wait a turn.

[simple frost]

oh.

hum

[ebon valve]

It’s not required, you just have to use ash’s 2nd trainer move each time, so you get the heal every round

[simple frost]

i'll try it

[ebon valve]

Without quad queue it goes like this

[simple frost]

hum. discord must be really being slow today

[ebon valve]

Gmax > Steven faster > ash TM

You can either queue queue with red or just wait for the next round of turns to get to sync.

[zealous plover]

I do want to get the "no refreshes" medal, at least eventually.

[nocturne pawn]

Could do the Skyla/Sycamore/Cyrus team replacing Cyrus with NC Red

Just rely on Sycamore for the Sp. Atk. buffs

Rei and Akari are also solid picks due to getting offensive buffs basically maxed on entry

[zealous plover]

oh true

[nocturne pawn]

Though tbh the Skyla/Sycamore/Cyrus team is designed to do the whole villa with no refreshes, so I’m surprised you haven’t gotten the medal already if that’s what you’ve been using

[zealous plover]

...honestly it's probably because I decide to skip instead

[urban ledge]

Oh yeah you can’t skip

[nocturne pawn]

That would be why, skipping negates the medal

[zealous plover]

Yeah I know but oftentimes I'm just like, "ehhh I'll get it another time"

[nocturne pawn]

Well, now you know faster methods whenever you go for it, so works out

[simple frost]

u'll have to do wait for BV to poof and come back if you want the medal if you skipped the halls 😦

[zealous plover]

oh i haven't skipped yet

[karmic wraith]

every month i’ve been trying to clear bv at full hp with full mp without using any treats. closest month yet, bede took 17 hp from houndoom’s fire fang maybe next time

[cobalt furnace]

I’m guessing you don’t have 3/5 ash?

[karmic wraith]

i do

he wouldnt be good for that challenge tho, bede needs to sync for recuperation

[viral loom]

Swap Bede for Ash, tank with SSRed for reliable constant healing?

In the rare event you could be touched just before ending the fight, red/steven might proc a flinch anyways

[cobalt furnace]

https://youtu.be/QfXExJBrn5E?si=INf9abP8Xa-7diNm
Use this

[karmic wraith]

[nimble tide]

mine would be SSA Cynthia, NC Hop and Colress

Costs 0 gauge to operate

And SSA cynthia either blocks everything, or just heals it over time

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=024401014501&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=11111&g0=AAECAwQFBgcKDQ4QExQdHyE&v1=009103044800&s1=3&l1=140&r1=6&p1=0&a1=21010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFGhseISMkJikqKw&v2=019100060100&s2=5&l2=140&r2=6&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44444&g2=AAECAwQFBggLDRUWGRwjJSks

[outer jasper]

i just did a braindead Galar Bird trio

[nimble tide]

idk, they do cost a bit to ramp up

i mean

maybe not bede but

the other 2

[outer jasper]

Marnie gets +3 crit on entry and has buffs if its already damaged (so you only need to be hit once and then recieve a big damage boost)

and i mean i just use C Hop because he does a lot of free moves by himself

[crude wagon]

i love accidentally stumbling my way through several floors with nc red and whoever tf else cause i’m too lazy and self-doubting to power up my units more

[dry ice]

P2W moment.

[nocturne pawn]

Your Supports’ types do not matter, you’ll get a stronger team by instead focusing on boosting SS Hilda

Though Battle Villa is easy enough that it won’t matter a whole lot

[crude wagon]

ah i keep forgetting to continue bv lol

[nimble tide]

yeah

anything works really

[hollow turret]

Quick question, anyone here has a good team to sweep villa?

Wanna try some new stuff

[west abyss]

Here's one

[west abyss]

And here's another one I thought was pre cool

[hollow turret]

Oh lmao, all pairs I don't have

I should do the pair tracker uh

[lavish stream]

how does SS N perform in Villa?

[leaden wraith]

totally not suited for fast pace clear in this gamemode

[urban ledge]

lol yeah

[split haven]

The villa teams I mostly clear with are SSACynthia, SS Steven and SS Dawn/OG Leaf or NC Leaf. Late reply I know.

[spiral smelt]

any reason why I can't skip halls?

[west abyss]

Did you complete BV fully last time?

[spiral smelt]

years ago

been skipping for a long time and doesn't work today

[west abyss]

You need to complete it every single time to get the skip for the next one

Did you miss the last rotation?

[spiral smelt]

nope I did skip the last time also

quite annoying

guess I have to redo the whole thing again

[west abyss]

If you finished up to & including Hall 30 last time it should let you skip

[spiral smelt]

probably a bug then oh well 🤷

[rapid notch]

Who is the best for BV?sssteven 1/5,ss ethan 3/5 or anni N 3/5?

[leaden wraith]

SS Steven with Attack Forme

Do you have SS Lana?

[rapid notch]

Nope

[tight copper]

Is xerneas, cyrus and Swan still the best way to do this?

Anyone else a better hitter? Or support. Sorry to bother you guys

[west abyss]

It's still the most accessible way to complete all the clears in a single run (which ofcourse isn't necessary, you can do a couple each day)

But apart from that, definitely not the best Pairs that can buff themselves without MP or have guranteed crits will be great for BV. My go-to is SS Steven who sets himself up fully every battle, paired with SS Lana who sets psychic terrain on entry without consuming any MP. Other examples of pairs that do similar are Rei, Akari, MixRed, NC Nate, SST Red, NC Red .. the list goes on. Pairs (supports especially) that can restore MP via sync burst like Shauna or SS Kris are great too

[tight copper]

So like if I showed you my characters theres a better way?

Sorry just I guess im tired of pulling on banners getting new units and still using that team hahhah

Lack of expertise on my part

[nocturne pawn]

Are you shooting for the no refreshes medal?

[tight copper]

Yeah that would be cool!

I guess my problem too is I need to know what each Unit is good for and im terrible at understanding them haha

[nocturne pawn]

If you’ve been using the Sycamore/Cyrus/Skyla team you probably already have it, that team is meant to do everything day 1 with no refreshes

If you’re using refreshes it doesn’t matter who you use and you can just throw 3 teams at Villa each day

[tight copper]

Oh ok fair

[spring trout]

Do weaknesses really matter in battle villa?

[nocturne pawn]

Not particularly

[finite tundra]

i wasn't able to skip this time for some reason either i dont think i missed last rotation

oh well it was an opportunity to finally do the challenger medal that i kept not bothering to get

[leaden wraith]

R.I.P monthly Battle Villa, you wont be missed

[west abyss]

I wonder if they reset it monthly or not and what happens to the rewards Otherwise I'm never touching it again

[urban ledge]

I’m mostly wondering what they’re gonna do with the Villa Coop

[simple frost]

I tihnk bv gems is going to be their new event. :< Probably.

I do hope that it resets or we get more floors or something sigh

[ebon valve]

There's a new gauntlet battle taking its place.

[ebon valve]

Unstoppable Challenger will become legacy medal. Thus this will be last time it's obtainable.

[karmic wraith]

so long as the new gauntlet/ladder/roguelike/whatever mode gives the 2k gems im down

bv is so outdated its boring

[simple frost]

2k or more 😦

[karmic wraith]

true…

[placid depot]

[urban ledge]

Guess we’ll rename this channel to whatever the new mode is haha

[simple frost]

not entirely. bv will still be around, for newbies.

[primal willow]

What Pairs are good for a 1 day clear?

I wanna complete that one mission

The one using 0 full recoveries

[nocturne pawn]

There’s a guide for an accessible team that can do so in the pins

[lavish stream]

So ive heard rumors that this is the last chance to get the no recovery medal

What are the best BV units?

[cobalt furnace]

https://youtu.be/Znv2cfNI1ME?si=Rlb1XUW4kKDQcsuW

[lavish stream]

Ah its a Ropa video

Very nice

[primal willow]

Only have SS Steven and 1/5 Ash

[urban ledge]

Man, I’m getting a little choked up thinking that this is the last time I’ll be fielding this team

[hollow turret]

So, with villa refreshing in 2 weeks... does this mean that villa is back to how it used to be at the start?

[leaden wraith]

we know little details about the new mode replacing BV

[hollow turret]

No, not the mode

The actual villa reset

[leaden wraith]

BV will be discounted after the current season ends

[hollow turret]

Mmh, so we don't know if it refreshes on jan23?

Cuz in game it says it refreshes january 23

[leaden wraith]

[hollow turret]

And I was like

Will it be like how villa was when it first released?

Villa before got reset every 2 weeks, and technically it was permanent

[nimble tide]

This was hard

[primal willow]

Does using HP/MP Recover affect the mission or is it just full recoveries?

[leaden wraith]

just full recoveries

[leaden wraith]

i just checked, it's just the end date

dena already confirmed that this is the last BV rotation

[primal willow]

Right

So, it may be easy

[simple frost]

what's a good sync pair with a team of Mix Red (1) and Holiday Sycamore (2)?

3rd member rather

[half sonnet]

I thought I should update my team for the last Villa, any suggestions ?

[thick mauve]

no rats and no ssteven?
sskris + lucian + sp atk with aoe move, or ncrose instead of lucian for more SMUN

[half sonnet]

Yep, I'm down bad
What's the move order for the KriSS comp?

[thick mauve]

just rain, tm, potion, then sync with her to get mp back, rosa can probably just spam her bmove if you don't want to use tm, for dps you might want to use ncmarnie but idk about speed, might run lucian instead of 2nd support if you don't have enough gauge

ncred is also great but for multi stage getting rebuff is annoying

[dry ice]

So something interesting.

They said battle villa will be permanent content, but i'm seeing Battle villa end on Jan 24th.

[thick mauve]

they'll probably update after that
i guess they'll let us reset to clear again for the medals but no more rewards

[half sonnet]

Regardless, gauge on turn 1 seems an issue with Marnie being 4 gauge

[thick mauve]

use lucian with them then, he gives speed and -spdef, don't really need optimal triple queue or quad queue when you can delete everything, marnie doesn't even need sp atk buff

sslys might be good too with sskris but i don't have him so not sure

or you can use a status enabler + ssroxie, her bmove is really strong, can open with her max move but for the multi stages you need another one to inflict status

[half sonnet]

Ah, so it's fine if Marnie moves after the opponent turn 1?

[thick mauve]

she can't use her bmove if you don't inflict status, so for 3vs6 and 3vs9 after killing the first 3 you need to inflict status on at least 1 of them for her to spam bmove again

but you just can use any of the aoe spammer, it's not that hard and most of them can clear fast

[rapid notch]

Would it work?

[leaden wraith]

yes, but gauge would be cringe until Sycamore's sync

[rapid notch]

Hmm

I guess Imma use something else

I wanna sue something fun for the last ever BV

[karmic wraith]

for the final battle villa i decided to solo it which i’ve never done before lmao. goodbye outdated game mode may we be graced with something that’s actually challenging soon

[west abyss]

LOL so based

[nocturne pawn]

Steamrolled BV from floor 1 with SSA Cynthia + SS Hilda + Sycamore to grab that medal in case it becomes a legacy item

[dry ice]

might do that myself with Ball guy

[half bone]

so, there's apparently oging to be one last chance for a medal here??

What mission number is it?

[leaden wraith]

They are not hard to spot in general missions section

[half bone]

Mission number? I think it's getting lost in all the legendary arena stuff.

Maybe I'm asking for the number since I'm having trouble spotting it.

@leaden wraith Should I say what missions appear incomplete when I check general?

For me, it's mission 83, 90, 91, 96, 107, 108, and then all the Legendary Arena missions.

Ah, the Legendary Adventures stuff too.

And the high score event regarding Master Rank.

I really don't see anything regarding Battle villa.

Is one set Missions 180-183? That's done.

[leaden wraith]

You can press the + button to read the detail about each mission

If you don't see any BV related stuff, that means you have completed all of them

[half bone]

So, no hidden missions?

[nocturne pawn]

If there were any they’d probably be in the pins anyway

[half bone]

k.

So basically, I have the missions already.

[nocturne pawn]

It would seem so. You’re free to take it easy this Villa

[half bone]

Should I try Redchu for this? been mostly using Aura Cynth, NC Marnie, and Sycamore recently.

[nocturne pawn]

It really doesn’t matter, roll with whatever sounds fun

[rapid notch]

Can sstred,ssrosa and sycamore do BV?

No ex no gross level 120

[west abyss]

Yes? BV is some of the easiest content out there

[rapid notch]

while getting both meda;s

[rapid notch]

Yeah sstred isn't working

Due to the fact he needs eterrain

Should I get cyrus

[leaden wraith]

he works well, yes

[west abyss]

There's an accessible clear for both missions in the pins

[thick mauve]

or you can post your roster here
f2p teams are great but such a chore to do

[primal willow]

I smashed it with Sycamore 5/5 + EX, Sygna Suit Steven 3/5 + EX and Hop 5/5 + EX

Hop was the last one standing in the last battle

[rapid notch]

Currently doing legendary adventures

I'm about to get sycamore,then will go get cyrus

May take some time to get sync orbs

[thick mauve]

your supports are great but you need a good damage dealer here

try something like aura cynthia, nc rosa, ryuki? maybe for dps until you get cyrus
cynthia has a chance to heal when she attacks, and rosa can just spam bmove for random buffs so you don't have to use tm or getting mpr
sycamore probably better later in this case tho, so sycamore + ryuki (or cyrus) + ncrosa
or you can build 3 teams and rotate them for different stages

[urban ledge]

… man

I just realized

Instead of clearing the villa with the newest units

I should have used the OG Villa team lol

Potchu/SS Red/Tank Mew

[thick mauve]

those days

[cobalt furnace]

Use OG Iris with carry on

[rapid notch]

So this can do full BV with both medals?

[leaden wraith]

Should be easy to clear BV

[rapid notch]

so what is the strat with this?

spacial rend till sync syca then spam hp?

[leaden wraith]

Would be better if you can figure out the strat, but be aware of cringy gauge before first sync

Personally I would open with B Relic Song

[rapid notch]

ok

[rapid notch]

is sycamore gridding necessary or would cyrus be enough

i have only enough to grid one rn

[leaden wraith]

Grid Sycamore with Master Healer tiles, then move to grid Ramming Speed on Cyrus

[rapid notch]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/13600/71600?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFGhseICMk

like this?

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/19400/48400

and cyrus

[leaden wraith]

sound good

[rapid notch]

Would kiawe be better here for mga?

[cobalt furnace]

Only if you currently feel that you have gauge issues

[rapid notch]

Even with kiawe gauge is unstable

I need something that lets me do 5/6 gauge cycle befor syca sync

He loses too much hp before recup

[leaden wraith]

3/5 Skyla or Leaf does the trick

one bar MGR9 ftw

[rapid notch]

No candies for Skyla

And leaf is 1/5

😭
