Battle Rally

[rapid notch]

Do I give up on getting both BV medals

I don't think this is possible wit current roster

[leaden wraith]

Or just spam cheap moves until first sync

The team has enough sustain

And you can use treats (not full recoveries) to heal HP and MP

[leaden wraith]

Yes, ofc

[drowsy harness]

Is there a unit that can restore one mp to every unit per battle

Like if reds max move worked on all allies

[thick mauve]

no

and you don't need it to clear villa fast and easy

[drowsy harness]

My sycamore isn't getting an mp refresh

If it wasn't so many battles it'd be fine

But I've been on the same one for 10 minutes just restarting

[thick mauve]

just choose the hp/mp restore when getting rewards after each 5 rounds
also you can build multiple teams or bring multiple supports with your main dps

[drowsy harness]

I would need the mp restore every battle

[leaden wraith]

Sycamore doesnt need to use his TM tho

his sustain is insane

[thick mauve]

yeah sycamore just need to sync

[leaden wraith]

if gauge is the trouble just grid 3/5 Skyla or Leaf with MGR9

[thick mauve]

but some units are built to clear BV tho like ssteven when he can max stats changing form
for mp refresh units like sskris and ssethan are good for BV too

[drowsy harness]

If steven is better than pikachu and red I'll use him

[thick mauve]

they're used together for fast clear if red is 3/5

[rapid notch]

Since we get six mp refreshes per BV should I use 1/5 sstred+broken supports on every 4th and 5th floor?

That still qualifies for me for both medals right

[leaden wraith]

as long as you dont touch full recoveries

[rapid notch]

Heals are still fair right

The refreshes

Not full recover

[leaden wraith]

yes

[urban wasp]

does elaine work on any teams

[leaden wraith]

yes she does

[urban wasp]

does she work with any i have rn

[leaden wraith]

please take screenshots of your roster at move level next time

the pins have a guide on 30 halls clear team, take Sycamore and Cyrus' grid from the guide and place Elaine as the secondary support

[urban wasp]

thx

[urban wasp]

mb i didnt know which one to screenshot it at lol

[leaden wraith]

also could you turn off ping when reply to me? many thanks

[urban wasp]

mb sry

[urban wasp]

what is the point of using dazzling gleam for sycamore in the team guide?

[nocturne pawn]

Just early on for lower gauge cost

[urban wasp]

oh for like damage

[nocturne pawn]

For Sync countdown purposes more than anything

You want to be consistently triple queueing

[urban wasp]

ah aight yeah that makes sense

thx

[feral bay]

If I'm new and don't care for the medals, do I just make 3 teams and throw em at this event?

[leaden wraith]

Yes

You get full recovery everyday to fully heal your used pairs and allow you to use 3 teams again

[spring trout]

Would red and snorlax be good to complete this if I wanted to complete this? Just asking because his gmax restores one of his mp for his potion

[urban ledge]

Yeah he’s very good for this

[ionic forum]

Who do I pull up with to the villa?

Oh God these separators are hell hold on

There

Oh NC calem is also EX now

[nocturne pawn]

If you’re planning to go for the “no refreshes” medal there’s a guide in the pins, otherwise it doesn’t really matter

[ionic forum]

No refreshes? You mean no full recoveries?

[nocturne pawn]

Yes

Note that you can substitute Sync Pairs in the “no refreshes” team as needed with other Sync Pairs that use little to no MP such as Akari

[ionic forum]

Oh I already got that on my first run :p

[nocturne pawn]

Then yeah, doesn’t really matter

[ionic forum]

So battle villa is that easy?

[nocturne pawn]

Yeah, it’s really old content

[urban ledge]

RIP Battle Villa

[placid depot]

🫡

Man how am I gonna grind my 2* cookies now

[thick mauve]

Do we know if the coop stages still reset daily?

Also with preset we don’t need 2* anymore

[leaden wraith]

coop stages dont exist anymore

[oak jolt]

You really want that lessen confusion 9 iris

I guess gauntlet still drops 2★ cookies

[leaden wraith]

gauntlet have never been dropping 2* cookies

[oak jolt]

I guess bonanza will be the only source if they keep running it

[cobalt furnace]

We don’t know how resetting bv will work

It could be pointless, or it could be a source of more cookies

[vagrant moon]

Battle Rally

Welcome to the hardest content of your lives

(till now)

[west abyss]

[outer jasper]

Do we know the shop /exchange for battle rally?

I feel like runner is typing an essay rn

[west abyss]

He might be typing up a draft guide

[outer jasper]

probably haha

[vagrant moon]

WIP - Will be upated when we get more info.

What we know so far:

• Battle Rally has 10 stages that change randomly each time you attempt, the stages are chosen from what seems to be all battles we have faced (or might in the future).These stages contain Extreme Battles Events, Champion Stadium Stages and for the 10th, one UB.
  All known stages so far: https://pastebin.com/qHWnU222

• It is known that as Battle Villa, MP and HP carry over.

Battle Points
Each stage awards you Battle points accordingly to the difficulty and boosts applied per roles.

• Normal: 100 Rally Points
• Hard: 200 Rally Points
• Very Hard: 300 Rally Points

You can encounter a special stage called Lucky Quest that awards 600 Rally Points, the stage is similar to Bonanza but with 3 Togepis instead.

The base reward of stages can be increased if you have the featured roles, ex role are accounted for this and the features will change every 2 battles.

For example: Strike - Tech
Normal Difficulty
If you have Strike (Tech Ex Role), Supp (No Ex Role) and a Supp (Strike Ex Role) your rewards will be increase by 0.5 per role present.

Strike w/ Tech: 0.5 +0.5 = 1
Supp: 0
Supp w/Strike: 0 + 0.5 = 0.5

Total points: 100 points + 100 points (1 + 0 + 0.5) = 250 points

Between battles we can purchase items to boost our team.
Items are purchased with Rally Points, which are also used to obtain Rally Medals at the end of the Rally, which you can then exchange for Cake Coins and other rewards, so try to balance what you really need to complete the battles and what you can save.

Exchange:

• Roll Cake Coin - 1200 Battle Rally Medal
• 5★ Power-Up - 500 Battle Rally Medal
• 10000 Sync Orbs - 500 Battle Rally Medal
• 2★ Red Skill Feather - 100 Battle Rally Medal
• 2★ Pink Skill Feather - 100 Battle Rally Medal
• 2★ Blue Skill Feather - 100 Battle Rally Medal
• 2★ Green Skill Feather - 100 Battle Rally Medal
• 2★ Purple Skill Feather - 50 Battle Rally Medal
• 2★ White Skill Feather - 50 Battle Rally Medal
• 2★ Yellow Skill Feather - 50 attle Rally Medal
• Yellow Skill Feather - 10 Battle Rally Medal

[outer jasper]

Might be a typo here

[snow canopy]

contains extreme battles event...

WE BOUTTA FUCKING RUN INTO FLUI FPRTIFICATION SHIT FUCK NOOOOOOOOO

AND UB ????

[nocturne pawn]

We will be able to acquire boosts for our own Sync Pairs

[snow canopy]

This shit boutta be HELL

[nocturne pawn]

So it’s unknown how brutal it will actually be

[snow canopy]

but i'm guessing if you wanna minimalize your points to get as much medals as you can you will likely try to go for what makes you waste the least amount of points

[flint shell]

That’s how it was in the absol pastebin

[snow canopy]

yeah but he likely typo'd

[nocturne pawn]

It would be very amusing if it actually did turn out that Hard gave ~15% of the rewards that Normal did

[pseudo egret]

[nimble holly]

All this is interesting but we forget about 1 thing we need battel pass to go for it and it will be 1 each day so only one stage per day ?

[pseudo egret]

Well, as long as they give it out for free

No doubt there'll be a bundle that has extra battle passes

[karmic briar]

I wonder how 300 points stage 10 UB will look like

[vagrant moon]

the very hard has the same stats of the UB we have

[nimble holly]

Rewards are not good as should be. For it

[stray ravine]

I mean, this thing resets per week, just like CS, afaik, so I don't see much issue

[tiny pulsar]

"and for the 10th, one UB"

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-krabs-gif-20277716

[nocturne pawn]

It’s hard to say how difficult that will actually be because we don’t know what buffs we’ll be able to select for our Sync Pairs

[tiny pulsar]

oh do we get buffs like in battle villa?

with the soups

[plush anchor]

Is this the new Battle Villa

[tiny pulsar]

yes

[nocturne pawn]

It’s gonna have roguelike elements, apparently

[tiny pulsar]

just two more days to find out

[plush anchor]

Will sit and watch before jumping at it

[polar fable]

I just hope I can get the 300 gems from it day 1, last attempt at lucas

[fathom yacht]

Skill Issue

[tiny pulsar]

If only i could beat Thorton

[snow canopy]

THEY BETTER FUCKING NOT BRING THORTON

If they do i am triple fucked

[nocturne pawn]

We don’t know what buffs we’ll be able to give our teams

[snow canopy]

Unless i maybe give adaman, ss acerola and mix red vigilance

[nocturne pawn]

Be patient and stay calm

[snow canopy]

I think we know like 3

One of the battle rallye picture shows infinite zone

So that checks on tick

[tiny pulsar]

infinite zone means Darach is finished lmao

[urban ledge]

+1000 strength

… TO US

[fathom yacht]

THORTON’S the one you can’t beat?

Do you remember Anabel?

[tiny pulsar]

yes

Anabel was easy for me

kinda

[fathom yacht]

Whoever created anabel has a special place in hell reserved for them

[tiny pulsar]

Thorton > Anabel > Darach

[fathom yacht]

NO SHOT

[tiny pulsar]

is my order of difficulty

[polar fable]

Anabel was fine for me because I had 3/5 KriSS and CSerena, but dont have CLeaf

[fathom yacht]

Ok i suppose but still

[polar fable]

I finally beat thorton the day before darach because I had to wait to pull NC Rosa since I only have Red of that trio

[fathom yacht]

I feel like Anabel’s harder without kris or Cerena than Thorton without leaf

[polar fable]

Ended up caking CSerena and candying SS Hilda (from 2/5), which im fine with since I wanted to do those anyway

[polar fable]

Both sucked, I just had the units

[fathom yacht]

The fact that the type of candy i need most rn is strike is hilarious

[polar fable]

Argenta seems horrible tho

[polar fable]

I cant decide who to candy rn but I have options

Could use more strike tho

[fathom yacht]

5 candies for these alone, and then i’m stopping at first Gladion copy

I thought Lillie was coming up but looks like i’m putting her off again for a while

[tiny pulsar]

what is Argenta weak to

rock?

[polar fable]

Grass I think

She has suicune

[tiny pulsar]

oh

[fathom yacht]

People said it’s designed for adaman

[tiny pulsar]

oh damn it

the one grass unit i don't have

[polar fable]

I honestly have no idea who I can use to beat her

[tiny pulsar]

well, at least I have 6/5 SS Acerola

maybe the ice team can work still

[fathom yacht]

if you look at my nickname you’ll realize this is gonna be a really hard UB for me

[polar fable]

I only have victor ss leaf and sc sonia, former 2 are 1/5 and sonia is 3/5

[tiny pulsar]

good luck !

[polar fable]

They prob want ss ace too bcz they made her have psychic terrain

[fathom yacht]

I know, getting this high with no adaman was really hard lol

[polar fable]

Idk why suicune would need PT

[tiny pulsar]

i believe in him

[fathom yacht]

Yo real shit

[tiny pulsar]

he will 100% destroy Argentina

[fathom yacht]

I want more units to get Sitrus Berry

That move item is awesome

[polar fable]

Wait does battle rally start in 2 resets or 3

[tiny pulsar]

does he actually get a berry as a move

[polar fable]

Yes

[fathom yacht]

Yes LOL

[tiny pulsar]

2

no way

[fathom yacht]

sitrus berry is heal 20% of an ally’s HP but 3 use

[polar fable]

Ok good I can do a last yolo for lucas before suffering in february

[fathom yacht]

I want a sitrus berry unit with like

Triple MPR tiles

[tiny pulsar]

erm, what the bloody hell

"The Joys of Cooking"

HE COOKED !!

[fathom yacht]

Just give a super support triple MPR tiles and make it immortal

[tiny pulsar]

Hyper... Blench?

[polar fable]

Belch

[fathom yacht]

Belch

[polar fable]

I think its greedent’s sig move, ik it has it in unite

[tiny pulsar]

he does indeed

too bad he sucks in unite rn

[fathom yacht]

I like how outside of unite no one cares about Greedent

[polar fable]

I plan to get him for the outfit (atleast I hope I can pull ) but yeah idc for greedent oh well

[tiny pulsar]

kid named "that one time i got a shiny greedent from the SWSH max raid shiny event that I love"

[cobalt furnace]

Not really a signature move; it’s been in the msg for several gens

[tiny pulsar]

that's not how sigmoves work

[polar fable]

Oh, is it part of the swallow set? I forgot the other 2 moves

[cobalt furnace]

There are 2 definitions for signature moves i’ve heard; a move that’s heavily associated (like Aura Sphere Lucario) with or a move that only a certain Pokémon (or group of Pokémon); Greedent is neither

[tiny pulsar]

womp womp

[dry ice]

There it is!

[tiny pulsar]

there what is

[dry ice]

Battle rally

[tiny pulsar]

oh lol

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/screaming-yell-squirrel-omg-gif-14158566

Basically me reading the summary of this mode

The ebes and ubs being in the cycle are gonna be terrifying

Even if they’re scaled down that can easily kill a run if you aren’t lucky enough to get one that your pairs can counter, depending on how big the scaling is and the bonuses

(I’m totally not going to be attempting it day 1 still without using a single point. Totally not!)

[polar fable]

I want to do this for the gems but idk if I do it on easy mode if ill be able to get all the rewards since u only get 1 pass a week I think

Ig ill see in 2 days

[hasty marlin]

We get three passes on release due to the login iirc

Which expire

At some time

[urban ledge]

… say it just occurred to me

Will we fight the Extreme Battles without the region boosts?

[simple frost]

Wat psycho made this?

3k hp above and then this lol...

[fathom yacht]

Yep

Imagine not having NCBlue

[simple frost]

Hmmm actually if its 240k... Its possible

Wait this is normal mode.... Uhh yikes.

17k hp for vhard

Lul golbat with 23k

Very hard has people with up to 30k hp

With 1 UB boss fight

Its doable... I just have to use my ub killers at the end hum

Heh

[polar fable]

Have we found out the limit of units we can use?

[simple frost]

No idea

Well see more once we get to 31st

Hmm i think dena wants us to clear the normal then hard then vhard

[fathom yacht]

It’s probably 9

I already have a plan on what I want to do going into it

[urban ledge]

I have NO plans

WOOOOOOOO

[fathom yacht]

Use NCNate and Rosa as a core that doesn’t need to use Trainer Moves to sweep the early stages, then use NCBlue or Red to help when needed. Use Rosa to heal Blue back to full, then use NCBlue NCRed and Irida to clear stages 9 and 10 in a row

Blue can boost team Sp atk for stage 9, saving Red and Irida’s TM for stage 10 so even if it’s Anabel I clear it

[simple frost]

if there are no limit of sync pairs...

[fathom yacht]

If there’s no limit then it’s too easy

[simple frost]

i could just run everything to the ground with NC Rosa, Elaine and some damage dealer.

or cater against who you're fighting against i suppose.

and then just haave your UB Killing Squad for VS #10

[cobalt furnace]

Nate needs to use a TM for his Attack buffs from Strategy: Focus on Attack

[fathom yacht]

Oh is it not on any move?

[daring peak]

Strategy: Focus on Attack!

Raises the user's Attack by 6 stat ranks when its Trainer uses a move. Increases the user's Physical Moves ↑ Next effect by one rank when its Trainer uses a move.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Nate (Champion) & Haxorus

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

[fathom yacht]

Oh come on

when its Trainer

Rosa is still busted because she raises stats without tms

[simple frost]

ye

and you can turn her into a debuffer if you really need

[fathom yacht]

Why does it require the AI to be confused

Whoever at DeNA made that a requirement, i just wanna talk

[placid depot]

[simple frost]

hardest content it is ;_;

its basically Battle Villa with a UB at the end.

[nocturne pawn]

Hard to say how brutal it’ll be until we see what boosts we can get

[simple frost]

Very Hard seems to have Champion Stadium people in there as well. like Cynthia & Porygon

[hasty marlin]

I have a feeling the CSlikes will be the easier ones of the bunch relative to some eb/ub fights that exist…

[simple frost]

i guess

[placid depot]

definitely

it's just CS stages. it doesn't specify if you have to do it with 3k parameters or anything, right?

hard mode CS is easy

[simple frost]

I think there are a few Battle Challenge caps in there

people rather

like SS Morty

[urban ledge]

There’s no way the bonus Togepi stages can appear on stage 10 right?

[simple frost]

there's a bonus togepi staage?

[dry ice]

yes, similar to Blissful Bonanza

[simple frost]

oh

weird. its not listed for Hard and Very Hard hmm. so its only for Normal? o_o

well it should appear in Round 2 to Round 9

[nocturne pawn]

More than likely it’s because the stage’s difficulty won’t change regardless of what difficulty it appears on

[simple frost]

not quite sure if you can get 2 or more of these

[dry ice]

Right now, i'm thinking of this mode like....... Oddly enough....

A pikmin 2 dungeon.... Basically, the first few battles will be typical random battles, around the midway point, you'll find a nirvana floor (Togepi stage), then when you reach the last floor, you fight the boss. (UB)

[stray ravine]

"final boss" is UB only

EBEs can show up at any point before the 10th

[dry ice]

So EBEs are minibosses

[stray ravine]

I guess, only that you can get one at 1

[urban ledge]

So Champion Stadium stages are the mooks?

I forgot which stages can spawn

[dry ice]

it can be Any Battle from the past.

can be a daily battle, Challenge battle, or even CS Battle

[stray ravine]

difference with the CS stages is you don't have to deal with 3k params

[urban ledge]

…

What if we fight old school EX battles lol

[dry ice]

[stray ravine]

overall, most battles will be whatever unless it's an EB, and then there is the UB at the end

[urban ledge]

Hoard all the points until they pop up haha

[stray ravine]

can't wait for the unlucky soul that rolls 9 EBs in a row and then the hardest UB

granted maybe they put something in place so that horrible scenario isn't actually possible

[polar fable]

But the UB is alot easier right?

Atleast in easy/normal since it seems to have a normal amount of health in easy and like 150k ish in normal I think?

[polar fable]

EBEs may be a lot easier since they arent locked to certain theme skills

[urban ledge]

Oh thank god

I was worried they’re keeping the theme skill boosts

[polar fable]

Im assuming they arent

Lemme check

Yeah doesnt seem like it

I found the diantha one meant for CSerena and it doesnt show any boosted units

Oh I think this is CS nvm

Cant find any EBEs

[dry ice]

Battle Rally: but then you get hit with Maxie fight with Evasive Charizards

[polar fable]

With tough skin

[dry ice]

or Tough skin empoleons in Archie battle

[urban ledge]

I wonder what the absolute worst 10 battle combo is lol

… say is Legendary Arena here too?

[stray ravine]

no

[urban ledge]

Phew no Moltres and Cresselia haha

[fathom yacht]

When it comes out i’m going to try it boostless

I might be an idiot but it seems like a fun challenge

And if i do actually finish boostless my score will be insane

[placid depot]

do we know the probability of these stages appearing? like I reckon EBEs would have a lower chance of showing up on area 1 compared to area 9?

[simple frost]

no idea.

its probably something like

Add all of the stages together, and divide by 100

wont know until we see a write up for it. But the battle challenges can be rough if you dont have the pair or two to answer the gimmicks

[urban ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/les-miserables-one-day-more-amanda-seyfried-gif-7843155

[hasty marlin]

Basically me, will prob be waiting till the morning after reset tho at least so can know any restrictions.

If we can’t reset for rng for example, that’ll definitely be a factor in building a run

Will prob just rush the harder fights if they aren’t bloated in some way to stop boostless

My impression of the info makes me think it’d be like each stage we might be able to choose between a couple fights, unless the difficulty is chosen from the start. Cause if you can do that it’d be a lot easier to encourage safe vs risk for points debates

Hoping we get the info dump announcement slightly ahead of it launching fully but not looking like it sadly

[primal willow]

BR tomorrow?

[simple frost]

31st tomorrow so i think so? D;

[pearl lion]

is there a limit to how much point you can take in a day

i have a pretty OP roster

[nimble holly]

We have battel pass

So it will one pass one round i think wat is look like

[hasty marlin]

dont think so, think its just timegated by tickets

we get login gift of 3 tickets when it drops to help kickstart us in experiencing the mode, supposedly more from weekly missions or something beyond that? (disclaimer, those tickets expire...eventually.)

so its basically meant to be a new weekly mode alongside CS, is my impression

[tiny pulsar]

It's on the 31st

[drifting mason]

Hm it said it starts today

[west abyss]

Coming reset

[nocturne pawn]

That was Pacific Time

[dry ice]

+reading

[hexed patio]

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

[dry ice]

10 PM PST.

[drifting mason]

I read the dev letter didn’t specify what time zone

[polar fable]

Its always in PST, just assume its the day after

[drifting mason]

A bot command just to roast ppl is crazy tho💀

[plush anchor]

I am fine if they get anyone except anabel tbh

Like she specifically wants you to control weather or die

And I don't feel like controlling the weather

[fathom yacht]

Alternatively, you can just bring a sun team yourself and abuse her sun

SSMorty will be fine trust me

[plush anchor]

Nahhhh I don't wanna

I just don't wanna face Annabelle

[fathom yacht]

Whoever created UB anabel should be forced to run a mile barefoot on a strip of lego

[plush anchor]

Agreed

[fathom yacht]

Next to the dev who made Pokemon Breeders in Gen 5

[nimble holly]

I anabel i clear from 2 go need switch sync grids . Its rain. Not afraid we have more harder like palmer

[fathom yacht]

What

[urban ledge]

I feel like I’m reading a stroke

[simple frost]

oh hey. o_o

what the heck? i was like okay with 500% stat boost but

[pseudo egret]

We're fighting UBs

[vernal vapor]

We're the UB now

[simple frost]

Yeah this is definitely really good.

Even the Region Based thing

would make almost all of the UBs quake in their boosts.

Region Based or Type Based. depends on what you're fighting too

[nimble schooner]

Ooh I like these buffs

[polar fable]

I wonder how easy it is to get medals and how long the shop is up for, would need 34k for all the PUs and cake coin vouchers

[leaden wraith]

Looking at these buffs, the difficulty of the mode is not a joke

[nimble schooner]

Do you have a limited number of pairs you can use like BV

[leaden wraith]

iirc yes

[nimble schooner]

Might go with a NC Rosa and Rei team with NC Blue on the side (ik it sounds like a nightmare with gauge but it tends to work out)

[polar fable]

Do we know how many?

[leaden wraith]

Im not too sure, i only know about what info has shared in the dev letter and this channel

[simple frost]

its probably like 9 sync pairs 😦

much like BV.

As for me, i think i'll go with NC Rosa + SS Steven

I'm not quite sure for my tank though hum. Xerneas is going to be nice as well.

Redlax can also tank and heal with TM uses being refreshed

[nimble schooner]

Redlax probs a bit risky tbh

[simple frost]

i guess. it'll depend on like... if you can see who you're fighting i guess.

[nimble schooner]

What grids do you guys run on NC Rosa btw

[simple frost]

uh

[nimble schooner]

Because I'm having a hard time deciding what kinda grid to use for BR

[polar fable]

Tank support grid on the doc

But idk what grid id use for BR yet

[leaden wraith]

The known info said nothing about amount of sync pairs restriction

[simple frost]

i use this for CSMM

[nimble schooner]

I was thinking of doing this but seems a bit of a waste

[simple frost]

oh you have her at 3/5

[nimble schooner]

Ooh ok

[nimble schooner]

Ye I do

[simple frost]

hmm yeah Go Viral Sleep is pretty good.

[nimble schooner]

Might be useful for stages

[simple frost]

If she's not the main tank

[nimble schooner]

Yep

[simple frost]

you can grab the lower left options for her

[nimble schooner]

Easy Pickings?

[simple frost]

otherwise, full B Relic spam i guess

only if your opponent will want to be debuffed xd

still, 23k hp is norm from what i've been reading, there are a few battles that are like 30k hp

[hasty marlin]

from what little i read, the battles scale from +0 to like +800-900% stats or something, then back to +0% for the UBlike final boss

its like +100% per round in you go iirc for their stats

[simple frost]

ouch. even their HP? D:

[hasty marlin]

pastebins not loading for me atm so i cant doublecheck rn

its acting like pastebins down

[cobalt furnace]

Yea it’s been down for a few hours at least

[still wren]

There is a friggin' ultimate battle at the end of the battle rally???

Yeah I'm not

[hasty marlin]

With nerfed stats, but yes. Like 130k hp iirc?

[still wren]

That sounds horrible to fight

I haven't even cleared a single UB

[simple frost]

If you're playing Normal yeah.

Full UB is at the end of the Very Hard difficulty iirc .-.

[leaden wraith]

With item boosts and smart teambuilding, it should be significantly easier

Dont worry too much about that

[still wren]

What do the item boosts look like

[simple frost]

#1009564564821639379 message there's this one

there's also Region based and Type based.

[still wren]

Oh wow abit op

[simple frost]

Region based is 100% stats. Type is the same.

if you really struggling with an UB, you can buy the Apple Cup + Region + Type.

assuming you can stack those anyways.

[hasty marlin]

found the post that goes over the boost%s, looks like its 0%, 100%, 200%, so on till 800%, then 0%/0%/100% on the UB stage. wonder what the normal vs hard difference will be since theyre both 0%

looks like from the consumables we have to be mindful of mp and hp like in villa... good to know

[hasty marlin]

the apple cup, do we think its choice of / random effect of these, or all these passives together? and does the items effect the whole run, or just the next stage?

or is that in the uknown info atm of them

nvm, found that info after digging some more... its one battle...

so apple cup's basically a "pay 500(or 250 if discounted*) points and pass the battle" type of button prob

judging by point 11 in the rally battle info thing absol has, that items prob intended to help the most on the UB stage

[still wren]

man I'd die to taste that apple cup

[hasty marlin]

cause it says that it almost always appears before area 10 (ub)

so i guess that means if you get a UB that youd normally not be able to clear, you use that and just sacrifice some of the reward in order to finish off your run

[urban ledge]

Holy crap that apple cup LMAO

[still wren]

But there's no gems right

[hasty marlin]

theres some in a weekly mission

but thats it

the main reward for the mode seems to be gunning for cake coins

[karmic briar]

1 battle pass means 1 fight, or can we face 10 fights?

[hasty marlin]

1 pass is 10 fights they said

[karmic briar]

Oh nice, thx

[fathom yacht]

If it wasn’t i’d be really concerned

[karmic briar]

Lf to blindrush it and be stopped anywhere bc I did not ready some stuff lol

[fathom yacht]

I would save Blue until the end and use Rosa in the early game

[hasty marlin]

the part im worried by is trying to match the rolexs while also trying to clear most of it MPless

[fathom yacht]

I assume you have Both Bicio

[karmic briar]

I do, I was also thinking to leave nc Serena or champion leaf for later

[fathom yacht]

Eh maybe

[karmic briar]

Imma try early stages with stuff like mix red or ssroxie which have Rolex too

[fathom yacht]

I was going to save Blue Red Irida

[hasty marlin]

sounds like you pay 300 pts (one very hard stage) to replenish mp or hp to full, which if you want alot of coins isnt worth for most fights

[fathom yacht]

also i might be coping but i think Rosa might actually be a better unit than Blue in Rally depending on how it works

[karmic briar]

I can also go for SSAcerola for a pretty physical stage if I grab one

[still wren]

No MP seems so painful

[karmic briar]

How many units can we use?

Like BV had 9 units, do we have a limit here?

Or it’s just: use 3 and if you wanna reuse them there’s no MP refresh

[hasty marlin]

no info on unit limit yet as far as i see on their tumblr

[fathom yacht]

It’ll probably be 9

[noble atlas]

I want to say I read somewhere that once you removed a unit from your team you couldn't readd them but I could be totally making that up

[fathom yacht]

Having more is too OP and having only 3 to take on 9 stages including like 3 EBs followed by a UB is bs

So i don’t see a world where it’s anything other than 9

[karmic briar]

Also, is every stage random or do we get like UB only in stage 10?

[urban ledge]

UB is always the final stage

[karmic briar]

Just to be prepared if I see Anabel on round 1

[urban ledge]

The rest are random

[hasty marlin]

UB is only on 10, rest can be almost any battle we've ever seen apparently

from sounds of it

you start with one upgrade item and 500 pts, you can pay 300 of those points at start to make all stages visible though

if you dont do that r1, its 50 points per stage to reveal another

if i see thorton im prob taking the apple cup tbh cause i dont think id be able to do even a weakened thorton without that shit

[dry ice]

Apple cup sounds amazing for the UB.

[hasty marlin]

yeah just reminder that you go net negative at least 200pts to take it unless you get lucky to have the 50% sale land on it

[simple frost]

honestly though, i think i'll be fine with Kanto Buff if i'm using the Ash / NC Blue / NC Leaf / NC Red combo

oh and SST Red too

[hasty marlin]

its kinda sad that the theme buffs and other stuff sound like theyre 1-fight only. hope we get the option to save the starter one for a later round if they gonna expire like that

cause the 0% stage prob not worth taking a buff into

[dry ice]

^^^

Are we able to soft reset the battles akin to Villa/Gauntlet?

i would assume so.

[worthy tusk]

From what I'm reading on this new mode, it's weekly thing like champion stadium and it's stroke inducing difficult to get everything you need to clear it?

[simple frost]

from what i've seen, the 1-9 are Champion Battles, Elite Four, Battle Challenges and etc

[worthy tusk]

This doesn't sound fun or enjoyable at all

Is there anything in the rewards worth it for so much stress?

Because I struggle to understand from what I'm reading to see how this is even doable.

I won't even touch the ultra battles they have been adding because it's too much for no reward.

Please ping me if we know anything. I'm just overall very lost on this new mode and what is good looking.

[dry ice]

@worthy tusk it's basically like a score attack mode. you can use the points you earn to get items to actually make you souped up and more powerful even moreso than Battle villa items. However, you use those same points to buy the items in the exchange shop.

Roll Cake Coin - 1200 Battle Rally Medal
5★ Power-Up - 500 Battle Rally Medal
10000 Sync Orbs - 500 Battle Rally Medal
2★ Red Skill Feather - 100 Battle Rally Medal
2★ Pink Skill Feather - 100 Battle Rally Medal
2★ Blue Skill Feather - 100 Battle Rally Medal
2★ Green Skill Feather - 100 Battle Rally Medal
2★ Purple Skill Feather - 50 Battle Rally Medal
2★ White Skill Feather - 50 Battle Rally Medal
2★ Yellow Skill Feather - 50 attle Rally Medal
Yellow Skill Feather - 10 Battle Rally Medal

[placid depot]

for those roll cake coins and power-ups, how many can you buy?

[dry ice]

I'm confused by these "2 star" feathers.

[worthy tusk]

So it's a modern villa basically? I like the sound of that. Roll cakes are really nice to get. Not sure about the feathers haven't used any of them since their launch.

[west abyss]

Wait no way 2* feather debut??

[dry ice]

it's pretty much if Battle Villa and Legendary Gauntlet had a child

[west abyss]

They filter out some of the low passive skill rolls

So the pool is less diluted and better chances for good skills

[worthy tusk]

Oh that's pretty good sounding

[placid depot]

with a dash of extra RNG because of the stages you encounter

[dry ice]

i just need to know if wwe can soft-reset

[worthy tusk]

Oh? Totally random?

[dry ice]

yes

All battles are completely random, you won't know what battle you get, this can range from Challenge battles, EBEs, CS stages, or even special event battles

Ex,
Ash battle could be a potential stage

we could also just have Maxie's EBE

[polar fable]

20 of each

[placid depot]

oh shiiit

and does it reset per... month?

[dry ice]

the last stage WILL be a Ultimate Battle, however, there is an item that allows you to soup up your units by 800%

[polar fable]

Idk, thats all I saw before pastebin died

[worthy tusk]

So they just cut corners and brought all things they already designed, tossed then in a blender, and then it's just a random concoction of what to fight.

[dry ice]

better than just battle villa stages tbh

[worthy tusk]

True I just used rats it was a snooze fest but hey easy gems

[dry ice]

but keep in mind, it's like Battle Villa, you cannot change the team you have apparently (Or it's like LG, where you HAVE to change your team for each battle)

[polar fable]

Im coping they increase the gems in the missions to 400, so we still get our 2k gems

[dry ice]

500*

most months are 4 weeks

[worthy tusk]

So if you are that strong doesn't that mean the final stage is basically dead on arrival?

[dry ice]

items can only be used on one stage.

[polar fable]

400 or 500 depending on the month then

Or just 500 so we can get 2.5k sometimes

[worthy tusk]

~~ I remember when villa was the challenge, that bewear would kill you ~~

[dry ice]

Keep in mind, that everyone's run will be completely different.

you cannot know what you'll be fighting unless you use an item to see the battle itself

[polar fable]

Can u save it for the last stage? I think even EBEs would be easier now so it may be best to save it for the UB

[dry ice]

[worthy tusk]

So say Maxie extreme battle runs, how does that work when he was designed with a region boost in effect?

[polar fable]

And can UBs appear in battle 1-9?

[dry ice]

only the last battle

However EBEs can be from 1-9

it should also be mentioned, there is a chance for a Bonanza stage to appear as a stage each time you get 600 points, but there is a 20% chance for it to spawn

[worthy tusk]

Also you said special event battles can run, does that mean the easy bonanza could show up?

[dry ice]

yes

[worthy tusk]

This honestly doesn't seem too bad now that I'm actually getting more information. Before all I heard was this is horrid sounding and it's bad.

[dry ice]

Also, there are multipliers in this mode akin to HSE, basically, if you have a role that the stage is asking for, you get a score multiplier, and these roles can stack.

EX Roles count towards this too

[worthy tusk]

And higher score means you can buy more stuff I assume?

[dry ice]

for example, you have EX ingo/SSDiantha/EXR Paulo
the stage is asking for a Support role

Ingo and Paulo will activate that multiplier

yes

[polar fable]

Is there anything to gain from higher scores besides more medals for the shop? As long as I can get all the cake coin vouchers and powerups im fine

[worthy tusk]

That's honestly a valid question I mainly like the cakes

[dry ice]

aside from using those points to buy items for the run to be easier, i'm not sure.

Idk if you can carry over points either

[polar fable]

[worthy tusk]

Feathers could be nice but I haven't ever had a use for them.

[polar fable]

Do we know the exchange rate for rally points to medals

[worthy tusk]

And what about this pass we get? I read that we get a pass to use for a limited time.

[dry ice]

what I do know is that, every week, you will be given a Battle pass to do the event, however, you can carry up to 5 of them, so potentially, you might be able to buy more? but these battle passes are best to be used weekly as you get missions to get gems from.

[polar fable]

I think they give it to us at the start, I heard this first week we get 3 tho? Not sure how u get more

[dry ice]

daily mission @polar fable

[polar fable]

But u can hold 5 and if u get more then they just disappear

[dry ice]

but it seems to be on a specific day

[polar fable]

Oh

[urban ledge]

Boy I’m so not ready for this mode lol

I just gotta remember to keep my Ultimate Battle clearing units in reserve until the final battle

[polar fable]

But we are getting a pass today right would be weird if we didnt

[dry ice]

yes

you get 1 from log in bonus, and one for opening Battle Rally, and one from daily mission

[worthy tusk]

I have 280 units I think I'll manage, I just struggle putting them into something workable.

[polar fable]

Ok good, if the shop is monthly I may just try harder in other weeks or with the other 2 passives

[dry ice]

my only questions is whether or not we can soft reset or not

[polar fable]

Desperately need those 300 gems this reset

[worthy tusk]

That would be good right?

[dry ice]

what would be good?

[worthy tusk]

Resetting

[placid depot]

it'd be so funny if we could soft reset for stages

[polar fable]

I hope so, without using up another pass

[dry ice]

yea. if we can reset, we could plan how powerful the battle could be

[urban ledge]

Well my main worry is how many units can participate, and if we can reset/back out

[polar fable]

Assuming its not a 2nd run, I think that would require another pass

[worthy tusk]

Will we know all 10 battles at once?

[dry ice]

all i know is that once you start a run, you cannot reuse units? i'm a bit confused on what format this will be.

[placid depot]

i doubt it

[dry ice]

i'm hearing conflicting info.... some say it's like BV where we only have 9 units we can use, while Absol is saying it's like LG

From Absol btw

I assume this:
Hearty Stew: Hp recovery
Replen Patty: MP Recovery
Apple Cup: Gives units a massive boost in all stats.
See=all-Scope: I assume sees all the battles you will be facing?
See-Noculars: See what the battle you'll be facing next?

[stray ravine]

whoever is saying this is just speculating, not that the mode isn't gonna be live in an hour to stop the guessing...

[dry ice]

I'm assuming it's like BV.

but Absol's info is misleading me.

[placid depot]

see all scope is the item that allows you to see upcoming stages I assume

[urban ledge]

Wait wait wait

The ultimate Battle on Very Hard will be TWICE as hard?

[dry ice]

from what i'm getting here, if you switch the party member, they are unusable from there on out?

[urban ledge]

Damn

[dry ice]

no, Ultimate Battle will be it's standard difficulty

wait, hold on

[urban ledge]

Yeah normal and hard will be normal

[placid depot]

In each new area, the enemy's stats will increase 100%-800%
hoooo boy i love gacha in my gacha

[worthy tusk]

So we have to make a team before we know the stage?

[dry ice]

Is this based on difficulty?

[worthy tusk]

I'm confused 😕

[urban ledge]

9 times as strong Extreme Battle

[placid depot]

"Area 10 only very hard will get a boost" but Area 10 is always UB right? there should only be 1 difficulty anyway

[dry ice]

yes

[urban ledge]

Oh so there’s only 1 difficulty?

[dry ice]

Listen, i'm just trying to decipher what i'm reading here.

[urban ledge]

For final fight

[dry ice]

wait no

UB has thee difficulties

however Easy and Normal will be 0% boosted

....which is..... weird?

what makes easy and Normal difficulty different then?

[placid depot]

....why

[worthy tusk]

So....what's the difference between easy and normal?

[dry ice]

i assume? 0% boost is easy, 50% boost is Normal, 100% boost is Very hard

idk, Absol's english is very...... finicky

[worthy tusk]

I assume the extreme battles aren't going to have the theme boosted like they did in their events?

[dry ice]

correct

it's the EBE without any theme boosts

[worthy tusk]

I hope when this goes live I can have help if I need it building teams?

[polar fable]

The info about this mode is so confusing it might take a while for ppl to figure it out before teams can be recommended

[placid depot]

we're all just as confused lol

[polar fable]

Especially since stages seem to be randomized, and there’s tons of stages

[placid depot]

dw everyone suffers together ❤️

[dry ice]

someone is streaming their run immediately on reset

[jovial furnace]

How many stages are there for new event ?

Is it 30 like bv?

[dry ice]

10

[worthy tusk]

10

[polar fable]

Alot but its randomized and u only do 10

[jovial furnace]

eh
10 is lenient ig

[dry ice]

Stage: 1-9: can be literally any Battle from challenge, EBE, CS stage, or special event
Stage 10: always a Ultimate Battle

[jovial furnace]

Still less drag than BV

[dry ice]

Less gems too

[jovial furnace]

Ah

[dry ice]

300 gems a week

[polar fable]

500 less, so hopefully they increase it to 400/500

[cobalt furnace]

Do the EBs still have theme skill boosts?

[dry ice]

no

it's the EBE without boosts

[cobalt furnace]

Should be easier then

[jovial furnace]

the sheet with offregion comp info will be helpful

[dry ice]

keep in mind that the game will be random on difficulty because of the %Boost being from 100% to 800%

[cobalt furnace]

Omw to reset for NC Blue’s TM MPR for every stage

Making me feel nostalgic of villa back in the day

[dry ice]

if we can Soft reset.

[cobalt furnace]

Why wouldnt we be able to

[jovial furnace]

Deoxys, NCrosa, sslana
No TM comp

[dry ice]

[polar fable]

Smth absol said seems like if u quit, u get 20% of the rewards

[west abyss]

Huh

Surely we can just restart then

[polar fable]

Thats at area 2 at later btw

Quit earlier, 0%

[polar fable]

Depends what counts as quitting

[dry ice]

they really gave Battle Rally a Shovel knight death mechanic

if you reset, you lose a bit of points

[polar fable]

And if u quit does that mean u have to use another pass?

[dry ice]

we don't know

[worthy tusk]

So they kill villa, meaning we lose scrolls, cookies, gems, and a candy coin for a mode that just gives cakes you have to pay for and less gems?

[dry ice]

P much yea

we'll still get battle villa this reset tho

it'll be our last 2k gems

[jovial furnace]

Tbf, since they started giving Rolex for PFs cake coin is more value than 2k gems

[worthy tusk]

And I never got the villa medal

[placid depot]

"quit" as in quitting your streak (so you go back to area 1). hopefully not quit as in resetting a stage

[dry ice]

you can get the villa medal still

[polar fable]

Yeah hopefully

[cobalt furnace]

You can press the reset villa button whenever you want

[dry ice]

you're able to reset battle villa.

[polar fable]

You can reset infinitely

[worthy tusk]

Oh

Honestly not worth it probably for the one needing me to use the boosts.

[polar fable]

Its pretty easy if u choose treats every 5 halls

[dry ice]

they better give us a way to purchase Lucky scrolls

[polar fable]

Might as well do it since we get 1 last clear this reset

[dry ice]

there's no way for us to get any now unless we get a bonanza

[polar fable]

We rlly need more ways to get scrolls and cookies now that we get more lucky skill slots

[dry ice]

cookies are fine

[cobalt furnace]

Do we know if the lucky scroll/cookie rewards from villa have been converted to completion rewards?

[dry ice]

Scrolls are not

[polar fable]

Assuming each slot needs more scrolls, if not still need cookies

[worthy tusk]

I feel the system is being overhauled

[dry ice]

you can literally grind cookies by doing a single run of LG and resetting

[polar fable]

Yeah but thats every 2 months

[worthy tusk]

Maybe we won't need scrolls?

[dry ice]

better grind up then.

[polar fable]

I have a lot but im worried abt multiple slots

[worthy tusk]

I remember when we had to unlock moves.....

Thanks everyone for all the help and clarification I really appreciate it. I'll check back tomorrow and see how things look.

[placid depot]

newbies definitely still need them

[urban ledge]

Huh there isn’t any source for scrolls?

[simple frost]

wont know if we'll get the Co-op stages for BV 😦

but since they'll be permanent content, maybe daily again? D:

ah wait lucky scrolls

[nimble holly]

No co op for villa

[simple frost]

lucky scrolls would probably be bonanza sadge

if we get it again.

[nimble holly]

If i remeber wat they tell will be 1 time rewards in villa like in ub event

And its all

You can reset stage try again but nothing else

Yeap only bonanza left for it

[urban ledge]

Obviously this means bonanza will appear more frequently

… or they’ll be relegated to twitter rallies

[polar fable]

Bonanza is kind of bad for scrolls it just was the only other place besides villa

Like u get 55 from villa iirc, while bonanza depends on how many tickets u get which isnt nearly as much

Also I assume many people exchange for the ? Its even worse now that it isnt monthly

[cobalt furnace]

Everyone was worried for no reason, lucky scrolls are now infinitely renewable

[simple frost]

this is?

battle rally? 😮

[cobalt furnace]

Battle Villa

[simple frost]

Oh

BV is moved to Side Area

[leaden wraith]

does the amount of scrolls increase when you go higher?

[simple frost]

oh it still has gems too

[leaden wraith]

beating 30 halls just for 30 scrolls is bs

[finite tundra]

that's especially good considering the mentioned "switch lucky skills" feature will probably use scrolls

[cobalt furnace]

It’s actually beating 30 halls for 3 scrolls

Unless completion rewards for beating boss halls give more

[leaden wraith]

[simple frost]

dang

it'd be nice if we had Co-op too

that one was nice as well sigh

[cobalt furnace]

Beating it for the first time gives a decent heap of lucky scrolls i suppose?

[stiff flume]

Ye was worried abt that
So it's grinding for scroll?

[cobalt furnace]

Yeah grinding and resetting

[still wren]

So how does it work

Should I go for normal hard or v. hard

[leaden wraith]

give us some time to figure the optimal strat out

[still wren]

So should we do it now or not

[pseudo egret]

do they give one per day?

in which case we need to do one today

if you mistakenly claimed the pass

[hasty marlin]

sooo whos gonna be the sacrificial lamb and test soft resetting

[pseudo egret]

and now have max pass

[muted sparrow]

GL, i’m waiting for that

[still wren]

And the Battle Villa gems are now permanent?

[pseudo egret]

were BV gems included in that 22k

[placid depot]

bruh

[placid depot]

Nick's doing it rn lmao

[stiff flume]

[placid depot]

first time completion only

[muted sparrow]

Watching his stream rn

[still wren]

I mean "permanent" as in permanent

[placid depot]

well the game mode itself is permanent. you get gems for completing this permanent battle villa for the first time

[hasty marlin]

meanwhile i just confirmed my johto team now oneshots the max bp stage in one aeroblast

[still wren]

And are those gems counted

[thick mauve]

BV is perma, you can get the rewards 1 more time, after finish the villa you can reset to clear again(for medals…) but don’t get any rewards

[muted sparrow]

Can you farm cookie in that ?

[cobalt furnace]

Yes, lucky cookies/scrolls are completion rewards

Gauntlet is faster tho, unless you want 2* cookies

[half sonnet]

Does the type upgrade stay for every Area?

[hasty marlin]

whatd we learn about unit limitations?

[still wren]

So Deoxys is top tier again here right

[muted sparrow]

Yes that what i want sadly

I have 16 2Star red cookie rn

[cobalt furnace]

Then go grind now

[placid depot]

wow I got a Trial Giver upgrade for my first item

this is annoying lmao

[muted sparrow]

1 -> 30

[half sonnet]

I'm enticed to use Champ Marnie because of the upgrade

[hasty marlin]

[half sonnet]

But idk if it lasts for the whole run

[thick mauve]

Should we buy the scope to reveal all stages, better for team planning

[still wren]

I got an Ah Low Lah boost for mine

That's kinda annoying

[half sonnet]

I got Dark

[still wren]

What team seems to be the best right now

Ones that don't use MP?

[desert venture]

For items I got a Trial Giver boost and a Rain Boost
For reward boosts I got strike and field roles

[hasty marlin]

ruhroh he already got rosas stage...

[still wren]

Would the old Battle Villa team of Articuno/Zapdos/Farigaraf work

[hasty marlin]

so looks like upgrades last whole run

good to know

[exotic flicker]

I think there are continuous upgrades and one time usage

[still wren]

How often do you get to restore MP

[half sonnet]

Do we know which are continuous or one time?

[hasty marlin]

when it shows in shop, costs 300 pts

[still wren]

So should I go with the Normal, Hard or Very Hard difficulty

Or just pick one and regret later

[exotic flicker]

Not sure, if not in the tips then probably the upgrade tells us?

[exotic flicker]

Whatever you dare to pick I‘d say

[still wren]

Well I'll go with hard then

[zinc falcon]

I got lucky with my first shop, randomly got Dark upgrade then they had a second one in the shop

[hasty marlin]

you can shift your difficulty each stage

[simple frost]

Lmao

this BR is hilarious

[hasty marlin]

so id prob do VH early till you find a fight you cant handle

[still wren]

But the thing is I got Alola

[errant zinc]

is it fun?

[sudden flower]

Is choosing normal, hard , very hard depends?

[exotic flicker]

It looks very fun

[still wren]

And of course my Alola roster is skullemoji

[urban ledge]

Oh wait we can try VH, give up, and try a different difficulty?

[sudden flower]

I mean does that change anything?

[zinc falcon]

Does anyone know if failing a battle ends the run, or does it allow you to retry at same difficulty?

[still wren]

I could go for Bulurola

[hasty marlin]

dunno yet on that factor, you can see the next fight always tho before you pick from looks of this

[sudden flower]

Does choosing normal, hard , very hard change anything?

[undone fractal]

this br does seem fun in a way tbh

[hasty marlin]

difficulty of the stage and rewarded points, dunno how big exactly

[still wren]

It's very stressful though

[polar fable]

Did the 2nd battle forgetting abt the role bonuses

[undone fractal]

it wont be a chore if i can ignore it for gems

[hasty marlin]

you always are picking between 3 diff stages so they prob have diff stage pools

[half sonnet]

I have no idea what to use

[polar fable]

Hard is pretty easy ill just do that, very hard is…. Very hard

[sudden flower]

Oh

[tepid cedar]

uh.
i got cocky and used

[still wren]

I got Sprint and Support

[distant vault]

strike and tech role bonuses with grass upgrade

[plush anchor]

I will sit and wait for good knowledge

[still wren]

With Alola upgrade

Well this kinda sucks

[sudden flower]

So it will keep getting worse

[urban ledge]

WHY

[still wren]

How many total pairs can you use

[urban ledge]

lol

[errant zinc]

9 units per run or unlimited?

[half sonnet]

Hm

[hasty marlin]

oh god if you take off a pair you cant use them PERIOD,

but unlimited beyond that

[urban ledge]

Every unit in your roster… but the moment they’re taken out of your team they are GONE forever

[tepid cedar]

rats will not carry me 🧍‍♂️

[hasty marlin]

interesting interesting

[still wren]

Forever until when?

[errant zinc]

better save the master fairs for the ub then

[undone fractal]

fascinating.... so when you commit to a battle, you better hope you committed to it

[hasty marlin]

till youre done that run

[urban ledge]

Until you’re done with the current Battle rally run

[sudden flower]

Wait
Everyone got different areas?

[urban ledge]

Yeah

Yes

[sudden flower]

Lol

[hasty marlin]

yes this is a roguelike

[urban ledge]

WELCOME TO THE RNG END GAME CONTENT

[zinc falcon]

Does anyone know if failing a battle instantly ends a run?

[sudden flower]

Mm I see

[hasty marlin]

welcome to roguelike rng!

[pseudo egret]

ok is it like BV in that your MP

is carried

over

[half sonnet]

Can you elaborate?

[zealous jay]

I assume TMs don’t refresh every battle?

[hasty marlin]

yep, hp mp etc carry

[pseudo egret]

ughhhhh

[errant zinc]

souns really replayable, without playing it looks fun

[urban ledge]

You can keep using the same team but if you switch a unit out, they’re retired for good

[pseudo egret]

so its cbede ssa cynthia deoxys till the end

all again

[hasty marlin]

i have to use sinnoh for my run which is actually scary to start from

[urban ledge]

Honestly I expect lots of BS but it looks fun lol

[half sonnet]

Regardless of HP?

[zealous jay]

This mode sounds bad lol

[distant vault]

if you switch out a sync pair, you cannot use it in the same run again

[pseudo egret]

I suppose the bonuses encourage it

[still wren]

Is the recommended level correct

Or is it grossly under

[hasty marlin]

yup, as soon as you swap theyre considered dead

[pseudo egret]

can't believe they're doing nuzlocke rules

in Poma

[undone fractal]

hmm one things i dont like is how the descriptions for the battles dont exist here, so you cant check their passives

well they do, buts its kinda limited

[urban ledge]

They know what the people love lol

[half sonnet]

Where do you get the region boosts?

[urban ledge]

Btw I think no one answered it yet, can we back out of a battle we’ve chosen?

[hasty marlin]

just enter the mode and itll give you a tutorial of the basics guys

[undone fractal]

im scared to lose a batttle on purpose lol

[urban ledge]

Like if I choose Malva and find it too hard, can I give up and choose the other two stages?

[tepid cedar]

I got villain boost 🧍‍♂️

[urban ledge]

Or does that kick me out of BR completely

[undone fractal]

.....uhhhhh

shrug

idk

[half sonnet]

bro took my screenshot

[pseudo egret]

someone wants to

sacrifice their BR

[hasty marlin]

im gonna double down on sinnoh from r1 cause i got a sinnoh sale in my r1 shop

[urban ledge]

I’m doing BV is why lol

[pseudo egret]

for science

[half sonnet]

Did I not get a region boost?

[thick mauve]

Rng stages for everyone is great, you have to learn and improve yourself can’t be spoonfed forever like CS

[half sonnet]

?

[hasty marlin]

my first bonus is sprint field bruh so does that mean i have to use SSAC instantly?

[urban ledge]

You don’t have to lol

[thick mauve]

You don’t have to

Also don’t use busted units for early stages

[urban ledge]

Yeah you got your entire roster

[hasty marlin]

i have to pick a sinnoh to use cause ive doubled down on sinnoh

[urban ledge]

Use trash units first

And always keep in mind to save your Ultimate Battle aces for the final stage

[thick mauve]

Yeah i think buying the scope is good for team planning, waiting for someone to test tho

[timid hound]

Is there a cap to how many units we can bring each Battle Rally run?

[distant vault]

aslong as you don't finish the stage, you can exit out and change difficulty and team

[tepid cedar]

i win

[gentle maple]

So if my SST red is ex roled... Him and ash would be 3/5 role

[tepid cedar]

this battle rally stuff aint so bad after all

[hasty marlin]

keep in mind each unit further boosts it

if you have more matching

[timid hound]

This feels like a proper rogue lite lol

[urban ledge]

PERFECT thank you

… nuts it’s Malva

[nimble schooner]

Ok so it seems like this isn't as bad as I thought

[urban ledge]

Also I got Grass boost which is uhhhhhh

[nimble schooner]

The bulk increases per stage so look out for that

[urban ledge]

Yeah that’s the real killer lol

[hasty marlin]

im kinda tempted to candy my SSTred for this but idk

would mean using a yellow

[timid hound]

Is the move to use bad units on the earlier stages?

[nimble schooner]

Rei did like half her health with Triple Arrows with only his entry buffs

[hasty marlin]

[half sonnet]

Does 2 Dark upgrades stack?

[hasty marlin]

yes the upgrades stack

[nimble schooner]

I think so

[hasty marlin]

i have 2 sinnoh and they stack

[nimble schooner]

I've got 5 fighting upgrades LOL

[somber prawn]

whats the gimmick for this you can use a character for one battle?

[nimble schooner]

Rei is being fed very well

[hasty marlin]

its like BV but if you swap a character out theyre dead

no revives afaik

[nimble schooner]

I'd suggest finding a team you can use for most battles

[urban ledge]

… wait a sec which Malva is this

[hasty marlin]

and with almost every stage in the game

[nimble schooner]

Not the CS one I can assure you

[half sonnet]

Is the See-it-all worth

[somber prawn]

u cant daily reset?

[karmic briar]

I said plz no Anabel fight 1
I had Anabel fight 2, the jirachi event where she has weavile

[nimble schooner]

Yes

Very worth it

[hasty marlin]

lol no its a roguelike mode, its not monthly its weekly

[zinc falcon]

Got a good first roll and shop, ready to go

[nimble schooner]

Oh naur not the Weavile

[somber prawn]

hmm so i could theoretically just spam rats for the entire 10 wins?

[hasty marlin]

you can use your whole box for it

[somber prawn]

[nimble schooner]

I have Thorton as my BR 10 that's fire weak

I'm scared

[hasty marlin]

theoretically yes, but you have to be mindful of MP

[nimble schooner]

Is it gonna be UB Thorton

[daring raptor]

you kinda want the bonus

[urban ledge]

Yes

[nimble schooner]

cries

[somber prawn]

wait what u fight UB in this?

[half sonnet]

Alright, so Dark upgrade and See-it seems the way to go

[somber prawn]

[daring raptor]

imagine having bonus for only field and sprint units

[tepid cedar]

what does area 10 look like

[hasty marlin]

which shop items yall think might be worthwhile with sinnoh x2 on deck

cause im trying for a high score

[leaden wraith]

Is there any limitations on pairs usage like BV?

[hasty marlin]

kinda wish i had supp candies for aura cyn atm

[hasty marlin]

if you swap them out theyre dead

[distant vault]

If you switch out a sync pair you cannot bring it back in.

[sudden flower]

Is this also random for all players?

[hasty marlin]

beyond that you can use the whole box

[leaden wraith]

Skull

[hasty marlin]

hp/mp are conserved between fights too

[leaden wraith]

Still better than 30 pairs total

[hasty marlin]

just like bv

[distant vault]

used an all seeing scope and got a lucky area on my 6th

[leaden wraith]

Thx for info. I appreciate it

[gentle maple]

I think the see all scope might be most important thing to buy on first area

[undone elk]

So you can keep using the same team just don't swap them out?

[hasty marlin]

yep

[jolly hearth]

is there any point in not buying stuff in shop?

do those points carry over to exchange or unrelated?

[polar fable]

Finished it without any items and all normal

[nimble schooner]

It's better to just have a team that meets most bonuses

[hasty marlin]

you get medals equal to your total score at the end

[jolly hearth]

ok but do i lose score for buying items?

[hasty marlin]

yes

[daring raptor]

so it's best not to buy too many stuff then

[nimble schooner]

Is there a team that can meet all bonuses

[hasty marlin]

buyiing items costs score

[nimble schooner]

Probably

[jolly hearth]

ok i wont buy anything then.

[hasty marlin]

thats the whole shtick

[half sonnet]

Oh fuck, I didn't know you could fight UB Argenta

[hasty marlin]

youre prob gonna need a few items to get past +800% if you get bad rng

[urban ledge]

The final battle is always an Ultimate Battle

Can we check how strong the enemies are?

[nimble schooner]

But tbf it's only like 100 tokens

[urban ledge]

Their strength boost I mean

[nimble schooner]

Just don't buy everything

[forest tendon]

so would it be safe to say the see-all-scope is a worthwhile buy?

[nimble schooner]

Buy what is good for your team

[polar fable]

So… are the shops reset daily?

[forest tendon]

to know which UB is at the end

[hasty marlin]

every stage
