Battle Rally

[glass patrol]

Synchro healing is almost a full heal

[fathom yacht]

Buffing random stats, Potion MPRs, 100% sleep, just everything

[karmic briar]

I also used lodge N a lot bc I’m not a pro with sleep chaining so charging infliction allows to quad queue easy

[fathom yacht]

Also a 2 gauge move that takes forever letting you charge gauge super well

Her long animation is a hidden gem

[glass patrol]

I mean heck you saw me do the thing with ssblue ssacerola and dawn

They do not die

[polar fable]

Rosa is good for this but I always ended up having to use her early and replace her

[glass patrol]

4 sync cycles

[polar fable]

Her and Rei are my only sprints/sprint EXRs

[glass patrol]

Either is an auto win

[fathom yacht]

I would keep her in on stages where she had no role

[glass patrol]

Butwhy

Such a waste

[fathom yacht]

A small point loss was worth it for me especially if i get Togepi

And because she’s one of the few that has 2 roles for me statistically i’m going to roll one of her roles most of the time

[karmic briar]

For me the real issue was trying to manage all the units and I ended up using ncred very few times

When I could have used him way more

[worthy tusk]

This isn't good is it?

[karmic briar]

Is not

[fathom yacht]

EW

[worthy tusk]

Sad

[glass patrol]

Ncred always mid

[karmic briar]

It’s the worst (of course I got it too)

[worthy tusk]

First run I got good gym leader boost now I have this

[glass patrol]

[worthy tusk]

Yuck 🤢

[fathom yacht]

My last run I got Psychic boost

[karmic briar]

Main character is the best

[fathom yacht]

Which was another good reason to keep Rosa on the team

[pseudo egret]

Deoxys/NC Rosa gaming at least

I had to drag drake around

[fathom yacht]

Yeah Rosa stayed on from Area 1-9

[karmic briar]

Nc red is like: pair me with Rosa so we give you all the time you need

[pseudo egret]

For dragon

[worthy tusk]

So I guess don't buy copies of it but get the gym leader one?

[fathom yacht]

I missed her like 2x i think

[glass patrol]

What was score

[fathom yacht]

8250

[glass patrol]

That’s crazy

[karmic briar]

Yes!

[glass patrol]

[zinc falcon]

Most of my runs have been varying degrees of running Rei and Argenta together

[fathom yacht]

having 20 MFs is kind of helpful for this gamemode

[glass patrol]

Hm

[fathom yacht]

Also again interference is not balanced

[worthy tusk]

Is this permanent? And is it worth grabbing?

[glass patrol]

Well I have alot of them too

[fathom yacht]

Any unit that can spam sleep, Flinch, etc is 15x more broken here than usual

[worthy tusk]

It's crit immunity

[glass patrol]

It’s just that like

I’m thinking of points

Doing the stage is almost irrelevant

[worthy tusk]

But I don't want to buy it if it's not permanent. Does anyone know?

[glass patrol]

It is perma I’m pretty sure

[fathom yacht]

You’re honestly better off lowering to Hard if you’re stuck on Area 10 i feel

The items don’t feel useful at all

[glass patrol]

Apple

Lol

You can’t be stuck on it

Unless no apple

[fathom yacht]

Damn that’s a pretty good one lol

[zinc falcon]

I usually get one stat buff that I stack 10x by the end of the run, and most of the time that's all I need

[dry ice]

wait, what Acerola battle has ghost wish and dark weak sides?

[fresh holly]

@fathom yacht What's the point loss versus the 500 that's probably a good idea - I did not try doing the mid tier

[robust ember]

Is it worth buying any of the items?

[dry ice]

whatever makes your battle easier. @robust ember

[pearl lion]

Im at stage 10 and wow

im doing zero dmg

[zenith nebula]

God damn

[wary kayak]

Snuck my first round in at work. Next shop screen... Help me get a feel for which ones are worth their cost? Halving phys damage sounds good but it's expensive; +4acc sounds niche but will matter a lot when evasion nonsense pops up

[fathom yacht]

@karmic briar Do I get SUPER greedy

[fresh holly]

I'm interested in knowing how easy the mid tier of floor 10 is

[pearl lion]

I got to 10 w/o seeing any evasion gimmick

[fathom yacht]

It’s Electric boost too

I’m SOOOO tempted

[wary kayak]

That Ultra Jelly looks hilarious but the next round is a Lucky fight so I probably don't exactly need it to stomp Togepis

[wary kayak]

I just had an enemy use X Eva All on round 1 so maybe I had weird luck

[glass patrol]

I’m on a roll

4th one today

[plush anchor]

3 Striker combs don't get sweater than this

[glass patrol]

I actually used daily tickets

[heavy fjord]

that sounds like it has to be an EBE

or a battle challenge

[dry ice]

it looks to be Cerena's battle

[glass patrol]

I will Rolex everybody

WOOOOOOO

Also isn’t cerena battle water weak mid

[exotic storm]

Do the 100% boosts stack?

[heavy fjord]

yes

[zinc falcon]

Yes they do

[wary kayak]

Additively, I presume?

[zinc falcon]

Yep

[robust ember]

Are everyone’s halls 1-10 randomized? And the bonuses too?

Most of mine are sprint/field bonuses

[hasty marlin]

Connection in target kinda sucks lol

Was gonna try some stuff for my run

[hasty marlin]

Yes and yes

It’s a roguelike

[dry ice]

What is this Accerola battle?

[hasty marlin]

Welcome to rng hell

[robust ember]

Damn that sucks lmfao

[hasty marlin]

The genre

[robust ember]

I like the challenge

[glass patrol]

The new battle rally mode is quickly becoming one of my favorites to play through. However, I do have one request. Could you allow us to play through it for free without a ticket, even for no rewards? Another game like honkai star rail uses tickets exclusively to claim rewards and I think this system could help because the gamemode is very fun but also very limited. By simply making tickets the way to get rewards, we get the best of both worlds, we can play to our hearts content and limit the rewards to be reasonable. Thank you for reading, and I hope you consider this change

Good enough?

[dry ice]

what unit or duo does Water and dark damage and also has a zone?

[glass patrol]

Calem

[heavy fjord]

Calem

[hasty marlin]

Frogs

[glass patrol]

Lol

[robust ember]

Cserena/calem

[dry ice]

ok, so it IS calem's Challenge battle

[glass patrol]

Cerena doesn’t have a zone

[karmic briar]

Imo you can

You can always use Rosa/sskris/Cbede later

[glass patrol]

I’ll hit 5 rolexs in no time

Just you wait

This content has lit a fire under me

[glass patrol]

I hope they listen to this text wall frfr

[fathom yacht]

I don’t have SSKris

She’s one of the very few that I really need, alongside Ash

I didn’t do it, because i’m chicken

[glass patrol]

If I see 2x

I go for it

I tunnel hard

[ocean wren]

So done my single run so far, what's the right timing for more runs?

[glass patrol]

Now

[ocean wren]

What about the whole 300 gems a week thing I heard about?

[reef magnet]

I'm just gonna like, use multiple teams instead of trying to grid for MPR on TMs

[glass patrol]

You get another one

[glass patrol]

You’re supposed to anyway

For the boost

[reef magnet]

boost?

[stark dawn]

I ask for a refund

[reef magnet]

what's gonna be annoying is making sure I never use my best pairs in case I need them for the UB

[karmic briar]

It can always be worst

[stark dawn]

[karmic briar]

(This was mine)

[stark dawn]

fuck it we ss lyra

[karmic briar]

I actually went for my first apple

[peak citrus]

what are all possible weaknesses for round 10? i know of fighting so far

[heavy fjord]

fighting, grass, water, ground, fire, rock

[karmic briar]

The 6 UB

[reef magnet]

Water, Fire, Rock, Grass, Fighting and Ground

[karmic briar]

Anabel / Argenta / Thorton / Darach / Lucy / Palmer

[reef magnet]

I haven't done any UBs so I have no clue what I'm in for

[wary kayak]

FML (only round 4 tho)

[peak citrus]

ooooh

[zealous plover]

Do we still get cookies in this new game mode

[simple frost]

pretty much. Unless you had Entry passives that give you stat boosts ... or the ones you buy.

[hasty marlin]

No refunds cause I got three in one set

[worthy tusk]

Can you get the lucky area anytime between 1-10?

Because I haven't gotten it yet this second run.

[nocturne pawn]

1-9

[wary kayak]

Crit amp looks amazing; regen looks worth its cost. Are +4 Atk and +4 Def worthwhile?

[nocturne pawn]

Not guaranteed tho

[hasty marlin]

Alright I’m in a “pick your poison” situation of ncrosa or ssac

From round fucking one

Cause they match almost my entire fucking streak

[reef magnet]

trying to pick a good Tech to tank with for my first fight

[hasty marlin]

Like seriously WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS

ville or something?

[stark dawn]

ive seen worse

[wary kayak]

I used Viola

[worthy tusk]

Is this on track to get 4800?

[ocean wren]

Thankfully doesn't look that bad for me on my second run

[reef magnet]

This is my first setup, with Dark Caitlin as my first fight

[hybrid abyss]

Are there a set of battles from datamine I can abuse/take advantage of?

[reef magnet]

I genuinely don't remember the Rei or Janine fights so that will be interesting, everyone else is just CS plus Palmer

[hybrid abyss]

or are these battles all from past events?

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485 after looking over my early streak it looks to be something like this

[reef magnet]

the fights are all random for everyone

[ocean wren]

Actually wait, am I supposed to do my second run yet or am I supposed to wait?

[reef magnet]

there's a pastebin in pins that lists every fight iirc

[hasty marlin]

I might have to use ssac and rosa together

With Galar dps

But idk

[tiny wigeon]

Hey guys is this average score? I spent too many points i think

[hybrid abyss]

Well since I can't get my brain to do work atm, might as well ask this very clearly active channel to assist in my first run

[hasty marlin]

I think my best bet is throwing away victor ugh

I hate that I have to do that immediately with Galar theme

[simple frost]

Hmm i see. if you get a Stat Buff from a Type

as long as you've got the type in your team, it buffs your entire team o_o?

[hybrid abyss]

I GOT A FREAKING 100% UNOVA BOOST

[hasty marlin]

Yes it’s a theme boost

Types are themes too

[simple frost]

I mean like

[lavish stream]

is it possible to stack two normal boosts?

[hasty marlin]

Just be sure to read if it’s type theme or move

[simple frost]

this one right?

[hasty marlin]

Yes

[simple frost]

so assuming i've got a Poison Upgrade, as long as i've got a Poison Sync Pair, everyone else that isn't a poison type gets 100%?

[hasty marlin]

If it says stats instead of move damage it’s theme

Yes

[simple frost]

Okay.

[hasty marlin]

Just like if it were any other theme upgrade

[reef magnet]

oooo I got Fighting power up, gonna grab that for Palmer later

[simple frost]

Hmm. So that's why i managed to clear Anabel battle.

last night i was Normal : Anabel UB / Hard : Anabel UB / Very Hard : Anabel UB

[hasty marlin]

God I am so tempted to just take electric move up and send it with electric pairs

[simple frost]

2/5 NC Marnie is broken o/

[hasty marlin]

[simple frost]

i do kindaa wish like

[lavish stream]

bro normal boost with redlax is actually busted

[simple frost]

we have the Lucky Skill Slot Customization

[lavish stream]

with GMAX Replenish he is quite literally a healing machine

[tiny wigeon]

?

[hybrid abyss]

omg I'm obliged to use Grimsley as my first DPS

[simple frost]

so you'll need like 6k per pass.

[reef magnet]

ngl 3k CS has made me forget that the base CS fights are easy, VH Caitlin was way easier than MM CS Caitlin

[tiny wigeon]

6k per pass?? For what

[simple frost]

they cost around 1.2k per Role Cake Coin Vouchers rather.

[tiny wigeon]

So i need to come out with 6k medals?

[hybrid abyss]

I'm debating whether I should use a cake just to up my score. Should I?
Probably shouldn't even consider, considering that I'm on stage 1 🤣

[simple frost]

i actually did for SST Red.

My 2nd Run was basically no Electric Upgrades

but instead just stacked Critical Strike 10 x 10 .-.

up to you though

[reef magnet]

debating using my daily vouchers to cake Zerena, and using my Strike cake on Rei

[sudden flower]

Can anyone tell me how to handle this thing without sprint units

Plz

[stark dawn]

wtf guard chocolat is busted

[hybrid abyss]

oh my god.. I can use CSerena to have double boost! should I?

[hollow isle]

is it the perma guard?

[stark dawn]

yes

[hollow isle]

the MPizza is also busted

if you have NCBlue

perma B Roost lol

[hybrid abyss]

who u talking to? also i haven't used Rolex on anyone so

[stiff flume]

First run, got sprint+field twice and I'm just at stage 8
At 1 and 8 right to waste everything
This is getting really painful

[sudden flower]

Can anyone tell?

[worthy tusk]

Is this a good point to be at so far?

[hybrid abyss]

I'm also debating on whether I should buy the all seeing scope thing

[worthy tusk]

So far I haven't had any issues. But I have 280 units so I have a large enough roster to wing it

[static arch]

It is 300 for different item to reveal all at once

[carmine glade]

It’s a waste of points

[reef magnet]

all seeing is the one that shows you all of them

[hybrid abyss]

I'm wondering if it's even worth, as it's not gonna change the rng factor regardless

[carmine glade]

This

[static arch]

It makes a big difference in planning how to use your best units

[carmine glade]

Why see ahead

It’s not like you’re using your best the first few stages

[static arch]

Being able to perfectly decide how many stages in a row to use a specific unit is likely to give you extra multipliers

[hybrid abyss]

me with Grimsley:
tho I am considering using Rolex on CSerena just to gain a big boost in points, cuz those are limited, and I don't want to miss out on that huge, full cake reward
Also, I got super lucky with Tech/Support choices

[glass patrol]

Are any of the other rewards worth

Also bicio using glasses

Sus

[hybrid abyss]

cuz from what I'm hearing, the rng has treated almost everyone so bad

I need consulting on this matter, stat!

[static arch]

I expect to hit 40k points with 5 passes

[plush magnet]

Sprint/Field stages are pretty prevalent

Which really bogs down newer players

[hybrid abyss]

my lone Nemona and EVictor:

[static arch]

40% chance each area has field or sprint, 10% both

[hybrid abyss]

for those 40% of stages, I'm just gonna run mono role

[plush magnet]

Mono sprint/field

[hybrid abyss]

Caitlin will be huge for my current run

Unovan Strike psuedo tank

[glass patrol]

I have sprint strike

They’re all split between stages

3 times

So I missed a lot of 2x

[hybrid abyss]

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

[glass patrol]

If I used glasses I maybe could’ve gotten them

But I lost 300

If I do

[plush magnet]

They can combine which blows, I've been unlucky with that

[glass patrol]

Soos

[glass patrol]

You won’t need it

You’ll get enough with 5 runs

However

Rolex her is a good investment

And it gives you more

So it’s better overall if you can

[hybrid abyss]

ample amount considering 1 stage with the atrocious sprint/field combo? really?

[glass patrol]

One stage

What about the other 9

I average 7k on meh/bad run

[idle moss]

How do I deal with golf girl’s poison spam?

[static arch]

Do we have a unit with role unlocked already to become sprint/field

[glass patrol]

8-9k if I’m lucky

[plush magnet]

I've gotten 2 of those in one run

[idle moss]

It does more damage than her pokemon themselves

[hybrid abyss]

I should tell you that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE saving resources when I can, although I do realize how crucial the rally rewards are. What would you do in this scenario?

[glass patrol]

We have several

[hybrid abyss]

FYI I've never caked anyone

[glass patrol]

Well I’m a chronic hoarder

But to me

[static arch]

I used cakes for first time today

[glass patrol]

I see this as the perfect excuse

I can cake and then get another 20 cakes

A full refund

[hybrid abyss]

I think that'll be me with NCSerena too

[glass patrol]

Now i cakes 4 units because I’m crazy

But I don’t have any unit that I’m like

I MUST CAKE YOU

[hybrid abyss]

alright, I'm going to cake NCSerena for double the points

[static arch]

The more you use your cakes the faster you earn more cakes, if you wouldn't get all 20 coins otherwise

[glass patrol]

So I don’t mind using them

[stark dawn]

Pryce in round 10

[hybrid abyss]

• she's reall good for LG too, so it isn't all that bad

[plush magnet]

This mode may give me an excuse to Tech Cake NCalum

[glass patrol]

And you’ll always be able to reget another cake

Because you get 20 whole vouchers

That’s a free cake to do as you please with

So you can just hoard that

Which is what I plan to do

[static arch]

I'm going to cake all MFs even though I originally planned to skip the bad combos

[hybrid abyss]

do I have to take anything else into consideration in terms of point increase, or can I input whatever role(s) and be on my merry way?

[glass patrol]

Basically it’s just role

Make sure to do bonus too

So the run is easy

Then watch as you get many point and get many cake

[static arch]

Is 200% to region enough to beat area 10

Offtype

[glass patrol]

Depends ig

Mexx beat argenta with bis grass team no region bonus

So theoretically you could if your team was cracked enough and you were willing to keep trying

[static arch]

I guess I will find out when I attempt Starmie/k moltres/k zapdos against Anabel

[glass patrol]

You are going to get one shot

Weather much

[static arch]

Oh she needs to be not in weather? I didn't check her special abilities lol

[reef magnet]

ok wow I really don't remember this Rei fight

[heavy fjord]

she has like 5 different sun related passives

you need it gone immediately

[glass patrol]

Rei has a fight?

Oh

Ncnate?

[heavy fjord]

neo champ nate bc

[glass patrol]

Yaya

I did remember

[humble mauve]

Choose your flier

The rng is painful indeed

[static arch]

K I'll just switch my planned teams to add in a rain user

[glass patrol]

I see zero role boosts

Tf

[reef magnet]

yeah I gotta grab the fight info for these fights cause SSEthan + SLiza isn't working for me rn

I probably need a field effect I'm guessing

[glass patrol]

Did you get bonus

Region bonus

[reef magnet]

only ones that keep showing up for me is Kanto

[glass patrol]

If so unless it’s acute senses 8 or something like that it should be fine

Then use kanto

Me no understand

You only need one unit on your team that’s kanto

[reef magnet]

OH

I thought it only worked for the one with the theme

[static arch]

Oh it is +% to entire team even if 1 region?

[hybrid abyss]

Cake Candidates are: NCLeaf, NCSerena, NCCalem, and 1/5 Elaine.... who do I cake and use in stage 1?

[glass patrol]

Reading.exe

[static arch]

If I don't need all to match the bonus region to get the stst multiplier that makes it so easy

[glass patrol]

Ncleaf cakeru

I am not biased totally

[hybrid abyss]

I mean... they're all good investments, which makes this a super hard decision

[glass patrol]

Unironically we need a pin that says the bonus applies to whole team so long as you have one thing with it

[solar perch]

The regional bonuses boost your entire party, as long as one member fulfills the condition.
With the type boosts, you need to be more careful. Some boost only boost attacks of that specific types, whereas others give your entire party an omniboost, so long as you have at least one (1[one{1}]) of that type in your party.

[reef magnet]

they're kinda expensive though

[glass patrol]

Because it’s probably in dreamy post

But whos reading all that

(I did)

[glass patrol]

100 is one of the cheaper options

It’s not impossible to do it without but it is tedious

[reef magnet]

I went ahead and grabbed a Fighting and Rock bonuses because I have Blue and Palmer later on, and the seeing scope so I can see who I fight for my first run

[glass patrol]

Getting a total of 500% in boosts is enough to surf through the content

[stark dawn]

Cry

[solar perch]

Oh, the pinned posts are updated now. When I had first entered this channel, I was confused, because the pinned posts all referenced the Villa.

[glass patrol]

Seeing scope bad

[reef magnet]

so I can't spend too many points head

[glass patrol]

[hybrid abyss]

HELP MEEEEEEE PLAESEASEASESE

@stark dawn PSSPSPLPSL

[glass patrol]

Caking ncleaf can change how she plays

The same does not apply for cerena

[hybrid abyss]

I'm literally a headless chicken in this mode frfr

[glass patrol]

She’s just stronger tm

[hybrid abyss]

NCLeaf over NCCalem for stage 1? iirc she is able to offtype so

[glass patrol]

For stage 1?

Uh

[tame forge]

4/5 battles required field in this recent rally haha

[humble mauve]

Same, don’t worry

[tame forge]

Throwing the dice gives funny results sometimes

[glass patrol]

I am the kinda person who would tunnel on the 2x boosts

[humble mauve]

I just use apple cup in ebe stage and thats all

[glass patrol]

But if you’re ok with 1.5 and potential 2x down the road it’s better to use calem

Use ncleaf as late as possible

[glass patrol]

Ultimate

[hybrid abyss]

TYTYTTYTTTYYYTYTYT

[dry ice]

Why am i here? just to suffer?

[glass patrol]

Where the ncred at

[hybrid abyss]

Caitlin tank is honestly pretty goated

[glass patrol]

I use nemona as a tank

[humble mauve]

I don’t have the patience for ebe stages in this 😅

[glass patrol]

It’s ULTIMATE battles

[heavy fjord]

Welp, guess who just started with a battle facility foe power up

[glass patrol]

Not ebe

[hybrid abyss]

alternatively, you can attempt to perma flinch so

[heavy fjord]

Send help.

[glass patrol]

Pick gte other option in the shop

Because feck it

[dry ice]

you can use an apple cup for 500 points, and the ultimate battle becomes a literal joke

[simple frost]

hum. i didnt have a field effect active, and i still hit him a lot for a bunch of damage o.o

[humble mauve]

Ah i mix Ultimate with Ebe forgive me 😓

[reef magnet]

time to use Tank vGio

[heavy fjord]

Okay, other option was hoenn boost

I'm safe.

[glass patrol]

Pog

[stark dawn]

I have no item

[hybrid abyss]

OMG I CAN GET ANOTHER UNOVA UPGRADE.. HAVIGN 200%

[stark dawn]

Except the starting one

[hybrid abyss]

Should i spend 100 points for a boost or u guys think that's irrelevant?

[foggy harness]

I may be wrong but is the strat to buy the extra power up and also the item that lets you see the future stages at the start?

[glass patrol]

Do boost up to 500%

For comfortable run

[foggy harness]

I feel like the 100 point boost is worth

[hybrid abyss]

200% Unova boost total*. Should I?

[glass patrol]

Boi

I just said

[solar perch]

Hey guys, which one should I cake? I can't decide 👉😳👈🔫👈😎☝

[humble mauve]

How are y’alls rng in roles?

[hybrid abyss]

bro where am I gonna get that remaining 300%

[glass patrol]

Just

Do another round

And trust me

[humble mauve]

Too many fields and sprints for me

[solar perch]

Pretty bad, on account of my having only one Field and one Sprint role.

[hybrid abyss]

u telling me to get unova or what?

[glass patrol]

Yes

[hybrid abyss]

okokokokkok

WTF THERE'S PERMANENT DRAGON ZONE?!?! WHAT KIND OF BS IS THIS?!

[heavy fjord]

sprint field everywhere

[dense latch]

Isn’t that easy? Thought water would destroy that stage

[glass patrol]

It’s to make you powerful

And you’ll note

On your left

Is a unova boost

Again

And it stacks

So you can figure out how to get 500%

[sudden hull]

the nc stages are kinda hard tbh

surprisingly

[hybrid abyss]

x2 REWARDS FROM NCCALEM

[urban ledge]

I JUST KILLED YOU MAN

[plush magnet]

Return from the grave

[urban ledge]

This run has been very annoying to me because it keeps switching role bonuses

[hybrid abyss]

oh shit I can't change my lineup when I enter a stage?!?! THAT'S HORRIBLE

[urban ledge]

Yes you can

[ocean wren]

https://tenor.com/view/one-punch-man-genos-gets-up-ground-up-gif-14477840

I get vibes of this

[urban ledge]

It’s just that if you change your lineup and win, your previous team members can’t participate anymore

[hybrid abyss]

Is this good?

[worthy tusk]

Third time doing this....this isn't good is it?

[ocean wren]

Dammit I already used lodge dawn

[worthy tusk]

Is this?

[hybrid abyss]

I'd say nah

[urban ledge]

If your steel lineup sucks, it’s bad

[hybrid abyss]

help me idk what I'm doing

[urban ledge]

Good earning yeah

[hybrid abyss]

I barely took any damage

[ocean wren]

Yeah I've been ignoring any of the specific typed and region boosts tbh

[urban ledge]

But make sure to leave your UB killer units for the end

Don’t be like me and do this

[carmine glade]

or apple if you don’t wanna try

[hybrid abyss]

WTF WHY IS THERE ANOTHER UNOVA UPGRADE!??!

bro I'm gonna be unkillable

[carmine glade]

Sack

[worthy tusk]

And....there's no good boosts in the shop.

Rip this isn't going to go well

[hybrid abyss]

I hav3 300% omni stat boost now... WHAT THE FUCK

oof... strike/sprint

bye bye NCCalem

[urban ledge]

God I hate sprint + field stage bonuses

[carmine glade]

Everyone does

[hybrid abyss]

ahh... should I use Caitlin tank this early??

[sudden flower]

Plz tell me how to manage this without sprint pairs

[hybrid abyss]

mono role ez

[noble atlas]

good thing you don't have to match both for point bonuses... but dang that sucks

[carmine glade]

Simply have all your fields conflict with each other

[hybrid abyss]

I'm debating on using tank Hugh

I gotta do this mono strike so

[sudden flower]

So I will take 1-1 pair of other roles

[dry ice]

I don;t think i'm gonna be able to get all the vouchers, but I already got 11 out of the 20. might get up to like 15-16

[hybrid abyss]

I wonder if I can cheese this using an enduring strike pair...

[wary kayak]

I made it to round 10 on my commute and got to see what the Apple Cup does with my own eyes.

Then I decided to see if I could win without it, and... Okay, turns out if you have the Master Pair that hardcounters the fight (Palmer), it's almost easy.

[hybrid abyss]

OMG KAHILI YOU'RE THE BEST
Meanwhile:

[nocturne pawn]

The boosts you can gather across the fights means the UB can be a pushover

[tiny pulsar]

does your sync pair fainting impact score?

[wary kayak]

Ye, 5× crit damage is a helluva thing

[wary kayak]

Nah, they still count for the multiplier

[tiny pulsar]

awesome

[wary kayak]

I lost Olympia in an early round but still got points for her being a Tech

[nocturne pawn]

Try stacking a few +100% stat boosts with a few +100% damage boosts based on having Defense (or Sp. Def. or Speed) buffs active with SS Hilda

V-Create shreds

[dry ice]

Real talk, it's more efficient to do Normal UB on round 10 than using an apple cup for VH UB.
spending 500 points just to get 250 points back for all roles whereas you can get 350 from Normal without spending

[wary kayak]

Did I just get lucky that the last six or so rounds all gave me the Crit +100% option?

[dry ice]

i believe most of the permanent upgrades are buyable for the entire run, but food rotates

[nocturne pawn]

I think if you buy a non-starter boost it likes to give you that boost again

[wary kayak]

Oh, so I was tipping the scales myself by buying it. Thank you

[nocturne pawn]

I dunno if that’s actually the case, but it definitely seems like it given how my runs went

[wary kayak]

I'm pretty pleased with this outcome, I'm enjoying the game mode, and I'm grateful for all the intel you've been feeding me. Thanks, everyone! Time to do that four more times.

[ocean wren]

This game is an a-hole sometimes

[wary kayak]

Maybe I'll pad the early stages with eggmons...

[ocean wren]

At least I have a lot of supports but like come on

[hasty marlin]

I think I’m fucked vs real argent a

[ocean wren]

Wait twice in a row I end with Lucy

Fuuuuuu

[outer jasper]

Is this possible without any of the given items?

[dense latch]

Yes I did that first rally

[hybrid abyss]

Hugh, BPValerie, and Roark on round 2

[tame forge]

Just a few boosted field stages, no big deal

[hybrid abyss]

field and tech... R U KIDDING ME?!?!?!

[dense latch]

Watch the replay in ebe

There is a duo there

But I think I had fire dmg up…100%

[dry ice]

so has anyone actually beaten a very hard UB without Crutch cupping?

[tiny pulsar]

you mean apple cup?

[dry ice]

Crutch apple, yes

[tiny pulsar]

i haven't

[dense latch]

I did Thornton with no cup not sure if he is hard

[tiny pulsar]

interesting

[ocean wren]

i havent even gotten a UB yet for the last stage

[dry ice]

like, i tried Argenta without cupping, and she was so freaking tanky

[ocean wren]

ive gotten lucy who has bs poison

[hasty marlin]

Field enjoyers rejoice lol

[outer jasper]

This is round 10 and for some reason articuno icy wind does 80% of my hp

[drifting mason]

Any tips before I try this mode ?

[tame forge]

On the bright side I could reuse a lot of units

[hasty marlin]

Many of us have without cup but it’s usually with a handful of stat upgrades or move upgrades

[tiny pulsar]

one of my bonuses was just "Blue"

[hasty marlin]

I haven’t used a single cup

[tiny pulsar]

it was totally real believe me

[tame forge]

[tiny pulsar]

me af

[hasty marlin]

Also finally getting a lucky stage this next run. They aren’t a myth

Took me four runs to see one

[dry ice]

Ok, i haven't used any upgrades, and honestly, it's impossible

like I did a no item run, and it was miserable

[tame forge]

How hard is it? Next run I was only gonna buy cup

[hasty marlin]

You’re kinda expected to use at least like 300-400 pts worth maybe more

[hybrid abyss]

@carmine glade Do I really need 500% Unova omni boost...?

[hasty marlin]

Not that hard tbh if you play into a theme boost and a move boost

[carmine glade]

Probably not

What the other boosts

[tame forge]

I see

[dry ice]

without cup, unless you have upgrades, UB VH is impossible, Hard UB is actually easy, but with Cup, you literally just go god mode

[outer jasper]

I can’t beat round 10 without items, it’s probably best if hard is done so you save more points

[dry ice]

agrered

[outer jasper]

Rather than spending and doing very hard

[hybrid abyss]

nothing I want. If I'm needed to gain boosts to have an easier time, I'd rather have pure Unova

[outer jasper]

Hard is infinitely easier than very hard for some reason

[static arch]

Is +200% region bonus enough against Anabel if I have suicune for rain

[carmine glade]

Very hard is like double stats

[tame forge]

I experimented only buying one reinforcement for the starter buff and apple cup on this rally and it was honestly kinda alright

[outer jasper]

Not like a simple step below

[reef magnet]

when something goes on sale, its good to take it right?

[tame forge]

600 spent

[dry ice]

because UBs on 10 is 0%/0%/100% boost

[thick mauve]

She is the future UB the last stage is always a UB stage

[tame forge]

Next I'll just do cup

[hasty marlin]

Double stat ub is why. Hard is +0

[dry ice]

I don;t know, I legit did no items for the fun of it.

[hasty marlin]

Tbh idk the diff between normal and hard 10

[dry ice]

0% vs 100% boost

0% boost is just the regular UB

[hasty marlin]

That’s very hard

[ocean wren]

oh wait, my idiot self mistook for ultra beast

[hasty marlin]

I’m talking about the two below it cause they’re both +0%

[tiny pulsar]

i feel like using the scope item increases the chance of a lucky stage

[dry ice]

if it helps you, NCBlue literally took about 18 damage from a Waterfall on Argenta

and this was on Hard mode

also like 88 damage from a Hydro pump

I had no items

[analog kayak]

should i keep on buying items?

[dry ice]

no

[analog kayak]

do they last until the end?

[dry ice]

Leftover points can be used to buy coins.

nonfood items do

food items don't

[analog kayak]

what coins

[dry ice]

the game will tell you what items are single use

[reef magnet]

I got Support and Sprint with Bug weakness

[dry ice]

Role cake coins

[hasty marlin]

cake coins

[reef magnet]

Aaron DPS gaming time ig

[hasty marlin]

theyre the main incentive for the mode

[dry ice]

it costs 1200 points to get a cake coin

[hasty marlin]

spend cakes to get more cakes

10/10 gamemode. 100/100. bestgame bestgame

[reef magnet]

quick gimmie like 5 Support pairs that can do DPS that aren't Iono

[analog kayak]

can i reset this or will i need to spend again

[hasty marlin]

dawn

she nukes nicely

[hasty marlin]

only if you retire

softreset a fight is fine

[carmine glade]

Truly the gameplay loop of gameplay loops

[hasty marlin]

retire loses your ticket

[dry ice]

if you retire, you have to use another battle pass

[reef magnet]

wait, I just remembered I have Petrel caked, I can just use him

[dry ice]

you lose all points too

[analog kayak]

roark is stomping me and idk what i should do lol should i just change

[dry ice]

change your units then

[tame forge]

Now that I had time to learn more about the new game mode

It's actually really fun

[dry ice]

^^^

[tame forge]

I do wish they didn't made us rush the last day of the month

[dry ice]

Very good roguelite mode.

[tame forge]

But I'm half glad we got to chase jan rewards too

[hasty marlin]

its just silly timing prob to try to get feedback instantly

[tame forge]

Could very well have started on 1st feb and it would have been worse

[hasty marlin]

ill take the extra rollcake for this mine anyway

[tame forge]

Yep

And some 5* power ups honestly

[dry ice]

I'm curious if they will update the UBs with new ones in the future or will they just have those 6 UBs be in rotation

[tame forge]

I'd say probably

[hasty marlin]

im sure we'll get more fights as we experience more BCs and UBs

[tame forge]

If they wanted fewer ubs they wouldn't have included the unreleased ones lol

[reef magnet]

Team Rocket gaming 👀

[dry ice]

the fact that they had 3 unreleased UBs in here is insane

[hasty marlin]

and ofc new CS's

[tame forge]

Yeah

[tiny pulsar]

wow this mode is... kinda fun ??

[hybrid abyss]

oh wow.. battle rally is wayyy to ez

[tame forge]

Maybe that's why apple cup is so busted

[tiny pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/falinks-pokemon-sword-and-shield-dance-silly-gif-26813103

[dry ice]

i have not even seen the Lucy one, but I checked out Palmer and Argenta...... Palmer is legit BS

[tame forge]

Cause we don't know the proper mechanics too well yet

For the unreleased ubs

[undone fractal]

How many theme boosts is recommended for area 10?

[dry ice]

Palmer has Piercing Blows, Normal Zone, and Max move, and he starts with +1 crit, also you can't even flinch him

[hybrid abyss]

OMG A LUCKY PLACE... with sprint/field combo

[hasty marlin]

depends on roster and boss

ive been doing +400% theme +300% move builds

[tame forge]

Palmer op

[hybrid abyss]

How hard is area 10?

[dry ice]

depends

[hasty marlin]

but thats cause ive got answers to a good chunk of UBs

[hybrid abyss]

So far I only have 300% Unova boost so

[dry ice]

you should be fine with UB VH.

[hasty marlin]

if you lack ncblue or ncleaf or ncserena you tend to get fucked over i imagine

[hybrid abyss]

So I'm good with not buying anything else?

[hasty marlin]

without the cup

[hasty marlin]

id grab atleast one move damage up item

[reef magnet]

I love being fully paralyzed three turns in a row

[hasty marlin]

by time you reach 10

cause else if you get a UB you arent ready for youre just dead

[hybrid abyss]

so another Unova boost

[hasty marlin]

damage, not stats

[dry ice]

Palmer: you need NC Hop, Rei, and/or SSACynthia
Argenta: You need SSAcerola or Adaman
Lucy: Idk

[hasty marlin]

like up electric damage or up damage to statused enemy

[hybrid abyss]

idk man... 100% is alot for 100 points

[hasty marlin]

etc

the 50pt damage ones

are multiplicative to your stats

basically

is how i see it

[hybrid abyss]

bro I think I'm fine. The worse case scenario is that I either sleep or flinch cheese it

[hasty marlin]

gl doing that if its argenta if you dont got the right answers cause uh

she says NO

[hybrid abyss]

also idk what's at the end for me, so I can't even plan ahead

[hybrid abyss]

what does she have?

[hasty marlin]

iirc wide awake and unflappable

and cleanses interferences alot

and shit

[hybrid abyss]

what's the counter?

[dry ice]

Argenta needs rebuff twice to do damage too

[hasty marlin]

adaman

[hybrid abyss]

ah ok I'm fine

[dry ice]

she heals Rebuff at 50%

[hasty marlin]

adamans the intended answer

[hybrid abyss]

yeah I'm fine

[dry ice]

you can SSAcerola/Ncblue Argenta

[hasty marlin]

(who i dont own)

[hybrid abyss]

I got quite a few rebuffers, including all of NCKantrio

[crisp knoll]

biggest issue atm for me is not remembering the stages

[dry ice]

Do not use NCKantrio's sync until Argenta is 50% hp

[hybrid abyss]

or I just bring two rebuffers

[dry ice]

not worth doing it because you also have to get rid of rain

[hybrid abyss]

so id 300% Unova boost fine for now?

[dry ice]

twice

should be fine

[hybrid abyss]

fyi I'm on area 4 lucky

[reef magnet]

gordie can remove rain. Once. probably weak to water tho

[hasty marlin]

yeah i didnt know this so i ended up having to spam Fire Spin on Anni Raihan to do damage

it was VERY awkward

[hybrid abyss]

I'm debating whether to cake field/sprint just for this lucky sprint/field battle

[dry ice]

Also, can I just say, the Battle rally music is incredibly chill

[hasty marlin]

do ittttt

[hybrid abyss]

why are you so cruel on the most free stage ever

[hasty marlin]

theyre worth it, getting more cake from spending cake

[feral bay]

Does the Apple Cup cost 500pts?

[hasty marlin]

yes

it does

[hybrid abyss]

SSTRed, NCNate, NCRosa, or SSACynthia for Rolex?

[hasty marlin]

i caked ncred and plan to do calem next probs, JUST because of this mode.

[hasty marlin]

sstred and ncrosa can carry pretty hard if you can get a matching streak for one of them tbh, not familiar with nate, ssac can carry too i feel

[ocean wren]

[urban ledge]

Heck yeah my best run yet, now I only need 6k more points to clean out the shop

[heavy fjord]

i caked NC Calem because i have no plans to use a tech cake on anyone else even with this months characters

[finite tundra]

Nate can carry but he needs attack raising fodder, he can only raise his own attack twice

[heavy fjord]

will have another one by the time we get the next datamine

[hybrid abyss]

hmmm... so seems like SSTRed is the goto. I'm just not sure of whether I should use the most OP pair in the game JUST for a reward boost in rally

[finite tundra]

there's also that one item buff that raises attack on entry which would pair well with him

[drifting mason]

Can u quit battles to change stuff? Or is it too late when u start one

[heavy fjord]

you can quit

its only locked in once youve won

[hybrid abyss]

like in CS

[hasty marlin]

thats honestly part of why i decide to scope even if its typically not that good, so i can slot in op ones like him when its gonna do a LOT of stages in a row or im nearing the end of when he'd fit

[drifting mason]

Ight

[urban ledge]

Man there’s finally a reason to give strike and tech cakes to supports LMAO

[finite tundra]

debating caking archer just for the role boost worth it?

[urban ledge]

So they can be slotted in for Rally

[hybrid abyss]

I actually like this mode a LOT

[hasty marlin]

with the way i budget things i just feel that profits me more than 300 cost

but thats just due to my playstyle

[urban ledge]

Oh hell yeah this mode is such a blast

[hasty marlin]

and box

[plush magnet]

Scope I think is worth in all purposes to maximize your uses of a pair if possible, still managed to grab all the coin vouchers in 4 runs

[hasty marlin]

i might stand more of a chance without scope in march

[hybrid abyss]

whatever... Red is also a fav, and is the single best pair so whatever

[heavy fjord]

i dont see the use in scope for me

[hasty marlin]

cause by then ill have +2 sprints

[hybrid abyss]

I'll do it just for rewards

[heavy fjord]

i have enough of a roster built up already

[pearl lion]

i only managed to beat round 9 by tossing in ss cyrus

[urban ledge]

Yeah I never pick up scope

[pearl lion]

rip to the 50% bonus?

[red ginkgo]

first battle bonus: sinnoh
second: beloved johto
third: bug
oofs all around

[pearl lion]

the one with the rillaboom

that one hits like a truck

[hasty marlin]

as i said for me it just makes it easier to budget the only sprint and field pairs i own, id get a headache without it with my current numbers of only 2 sprint and like 3 field

including cakes

[urban ledge]

OH COME ON THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THEY GAVE ME GRASS UPGRADE

[hasty marlin]

without this sort of specific odd number to work with i wouldnt scope

[hybrid abyss]

HEY that isn't bad at all!

[hasty marlin]

I’m staring down tech fighting city

[hybrid abyss]

4.2k points by area 5 😎

[urban ledge]

Yes but I’m goddamn bored of using Grass all the time for the points man

[drifting mason]

The only way to increase how many points u get is with the roles right

[urban ledge]

Err stat multipliers

[urban ledge]

Yes

[hasty marlin]

Yes

[heavy fjord]

yeah, roles is the only thing as of rn

[drifting mason]

Ight

[plush magnet]

Base multiplier is always 1?

[hasty marlin]

Also this shop sucks for fighting I think

[heavy fjord]

hopefully they continue to improve this mode past just what we have rn

[heavy fjord]

yes

[hasty marlin]

LMAO IM FUCKED

[drifting mason]

Oh my last question is the see all scope worth it or nah

[hasty marlin]

I DONT OWN TECH FIGHTING

AHAHAHAHAHAHA IM GONNA GO INSANE

[hybrid abyss]

HOLD ON... I CAN USE NCBlue FOR ANOTHER x2 BOOST!!! SHOULD I?!?!?!?!

[reef magnet]

Stage 8 Flint is easier than 3k Flint after 4 Kanto buffs ofc

[urban ledge]

Only If you don’t use him for UB

[dry ice]

Was there a unit that negated any type of passive from the opponent?

including piercing blows?

[hybrid abyss]

Didn't use the scope

[heavy fjord]

i dont think so

[plush magnet]

Are the only other 2 seriously SC Diantha and Champ Hop? Oof

[worthy tusk]

We just need 24k total to get the cake right?

[hybrid abyss]

Allister:

[worthy tusk]

Please correct me if I'm wrong

[hasty marlin]

theme

[hybrid abyss]

Also, Marshal ain't even that bad

[hasty marlin]

allister is not tech theme

[hybrid abyss]

yes he is

[hasty marlin]

fighting boost

[urban ledge]

Oh right I can use eggmons too as meatshields lol

[plush magnet]

He is but... physical

[hybrid abyss]

oh nvm

[hasty marlin]

with tech role

[hybrid abyss]

but yeah marshal ain't bad

[hasty marlin]

[analog kayak]

are these random

[hasty marlin]

someone give me a marshal grid

[urban ledge]

… oh wait I can only have 1 eggmon per stage

[hybrid abyss]

in #1009587872342478908

[hasty marlin]

i also need to check my eggs to see if a niche egg might save me if i have to swap him out

[reef magnet]

gonna try Palmer without the Apple Cup, cause I do have 5 Fighting powerups and 1 Zone powerup, plus Kanto to buff the best fighting type, Bruno

[hybrid abyss]

I already used techkarp for Cynthia's dumb sand

[hasty marlin]

cause i have to do iirc supp strike on r4

for points

[sacred falcon]

Not doing the Apple and watching Bea do 40k damage per hit was pretty funny

[hasty marlin]

cause thats my Lucky round

[sacred falcon]

But using the Cup also kinda takes the fun out of it, it's weird

[hybrid abyss]

Should I cake either Zerena or NCBlue for x2 boost?

[heavy fjord]

and this is why i dont

the cup takes a lot of points to begin with

[hybrid abyss]

I don't even know what this "apple cup" is.

[heavy fjord]

its a shop item

[urban ledge]

It’s a RIDICULOUSLY OP item

[heavy fjord]

shows up round 10, is the most overpowered effect in the game

[urban ledge]

It must be seen to be believed LMAO

[sacred falcon]

It's an item you can get on the 10th stage and it has basically every effect you can think of

[reef magnet]

I'm entering the Palmer fight with 5k despite buying quite a bit of items, so I could buy it if I wanted to

[urban ledge]

Costs 500 points to be… well, basically invincible

[reef magnet]

I just wanna see if my current buffs are enough for SSAC + 2/5 Rei + Bruno to do it

[hybrid abyss]

ok what the fuck it sounds like a cheat code

[plush magnet]

If the EB's stressed you out, Apple Cup is fun revenge

[ocean wren]

and then lucy

[urban ledge]

Purchase it only in emergencies

[hybrid abyss]

help

[sudden flower]

If I have to decide whether I should exchange a unit or doing hard instead of very hard....wht should I choose?

[plush magnet]

Zerena

[worthy tusk]

24k for the cake right?

[hybrid abyss]

and no I'm not caking Leon cuz of obvious lack of meta reasons

[reef magnet]

I'm wondering if I should bother caking Rei for this, since Strike is one of my bonuses, and the more points I get now the less I'll need in later runs tonight

[red ginkgo]

extreme remake rocket bias aside, i find archer pretty useful (though mine is 3/5, ex, role). constant speed debuffs, self speed buffs if using flame charge, good flinch, sync acceleration, sharp entry 1 and aggravation on board. his tm very useful for team speed/evasion but only one use unless you trigger mpr. my most recent run i used him all the way until the last stage. (anyway the answer is yes because the rocket exces are the best characters and only the coolest players have them maxed out)

[ocean wren]

zerena

she wants to sync first

[sudden flower]

Wht

[worthy tusk]

Sorry it moves too fast I sometimes miss if someone answers....

I'm at about 18k total right now.

[drifting mason]

Is there more points in the later areas than in the early ones

[sudden flower]

Opponent is poisoning me

[heavy fjord]

Zerenas is probably the most useful cake in the game as of rn

[sudden flower]

So should I do hard or change unit

[heavy fjord]

her or like, Paulo

[somber prawn]

bruh anabel

why

[tiny pulsar]

when can you reuse pairs..?

and when can you not?

[ocean wren]

after you use one once and complete a stage, once you swap them out, then they are unusable

[finite tundra]

oooh i actually do use my (1/5) Archer a lot in other contexts too, i just don't sync with him much
that's useful to know! in one early stage he actually did carry dark damage so i will definitely consider it

[reef magnet]

ok yeah Palmer was easy with all the buffs I had

[tiny pulsar]

ohhhhh

oh no.

ohhh noooo

oh me oh my

oh.

[plush magnet]

King Rei

[ocean wren]

bro i legit feel that sprint and field have higher chances of showing up for stage boosts

[urban ledge]

… tempting

[reef magnet]

DeNA: "Hmmmm, maybe you should start buying gems and pulling for Sprint and Field pairs? :) "

[heavy fjord]

probably confirmation bias but it feels that way to me as well

[reef magnet]

same here

[ocean wren]

stage 1 was field and sprint

[urban ledge]

Look what just showed up for me lol

[reef magnet]

I had to use vThorton to tank against Flint because it wanted Strike and Field

[ocean wren]

now stage 2 is sprint and strike

[urban ledge]

My beloathed

[sacred falcon]

So far I'm liking how the shop boosts you buy for stats reflect when you look at a pair. My Marnie has 3400 SpAtk right now

[ocean wren]

i wish there was a shop boost for no status tho

cause seriously lucy is such a pain

[reef magnet]

I got Champion for my theme skill

[ocean wren]

stop poisoning, thats my job

[urban ledge]

I mean you can roll for Antitoxin

[sacred falcon]

It seems the shop only has a few things to sell and mostly rotates the consumables and some of the stat boosts

[finite tundra]

what boosts does this have :O

[ocean wren]

aoe poison tho

[urban ledge]

Also speaking of Lucy

Clay ain’t having any of her back talk

(Dude has antitoxin as a skill LMAO)

[sacred falcon]

Finally, Clay is good

[reef magnet]

x5 Fighting Moves, x1 Fighting Zone, x4 Kanto (which is the only reason why Bruno is there)

no Apple Cup

[hybrid abyss]

man Penny's stage is SOOO annoying

[urban ledge]

All it took was so many type boosts lol

[hybrid abyss]

Haze is bs; had to queue around that + turn deny

[sweet mango]

Should I use ss acerola, mix red and a striker off the bat?

[reef magnet]

listen I haven't done any of the UBs yet so I didn't know what to expect

[sweet mango]

my battles

[worthy tusk]

Is it possible to get 6,275 in points in a single rally?

Please ping me

[reef magnet]

Game really wants me to use Champions for this one so this might be difficult this time

[heavy fjord]

absolutely

[sacred falcon]

Sprint/Field shouldn't be allowed

[heavy fjord]

ive seen people over 9k in a single rally already

[reef magnet]

it can be but I thin Sprint/Field should be limited to like 2 or 3 max for a few months

[sacred falcon]

Like with the Villa, it's better to have units that get +6/+3/infinite zone for just existing

[reef magnet]

the fact that pretty much all but Victor and now Riley are limited sucks too

[sweet mango]

how many pairs do you guys use every 10 battles?

like how many times do you swap

[heavy fjord]

most battles

[sweet mango]

because i see different role bonuses

[sacred falcon]

You swap to get the bonuses

[hybrid abyss]

I'm already at 5k points by Area 6

[heavy fjord]

depending on role bonuses i might keep a character on for a couple battles but i dont think ive kept an entire team the same for 2 fights yet

[worthy tusk]

So I just cut down spending then?

[heavy fjord]

yeah, i would say you probably dont need more than ~5 - 6 of the boost items to clear

[muted sparrow]

Ofc you can

[worthy tusk]

I have 1 ticket left and 1 left from the weekly missions.

[heavy fjord]

and ive only bought those so far

[sacred falcon]

I had one of Bruno's CS where he used Full Heal on the first turn with no status on his side?????

[heavy fjord]

yeah that happens

just take it

[hybrid abyss]

WAIT WHAT?!?! HOW

[finite tundra]

recently ive been getting by with 1-3 of regular boosts plus apple cup at the end because i suck at UBs

[sacred falcon]

Can't wait to get Agatha and her Gengar deleting half her health

[hybrid abyss]

oh nvm I thought u got 8k+ points in a single round

[ocean wren]

wow, 3 sprint boosted stages in a row

[reef magnet]

I hope a list is compiled of good non-Supports that can be used as Tanks for when you don't have Support as a bonus (which is like, Often)

[ocean wren]

yep im convinced now

[finite tundra]

early stage flannery is a good tech tank

[worthy tusk]

Oh that's what I have been doing wrong I have been doing like 8 of them

[muted sparrow]

That is impossible , 1k2 is max per area

[sacred falcon]

Whichever gets the boosted stats from your items

[ocean wren]

sprint and field have a much higher chance of being the boosts, like there is no way that is coincidence

[reef magnet]

my first fight is Strike/Sprint which is uhhhh Not Tanky

[sudden flower]

Does it matter how many buffs we bought from shop?

[heavy fjord]

i mean

[sudden flower]

Or just points

[heavy fjord]

it depends

[muted sparrow]

Just tank with poop pair

[heavy fjord]

but more is usually better

[drifting mason]

Do these stack or💀

[sudden flower]

Oh well I have only 2 continous buff with me

[heavy fjord]

they do

[reef magnet]

get Lysandre to 5/5 and make him a tank with Downside Up

[finite tundra]

except lucky stage, max is theoreticaly a x4 multiplier on 600 points to get 2400

[sudden flower]

Yes they do

[sweet mango]

how useful is elaine in battle rally? like her moves refreshes right

Hard mode is awful incase you think it's free win

[sweet mango]

Should I use two general candies to get 3/5 on elaine? I have 9 general candies

[reef magnet]

what Ground pairs do you have? You might need to use the Apple Cup since you don't have any Theme buffs

[sweet mango]

wait do we have to use the type they are weak to?

[fresh holly]

all ground pairs possible pretty much

No

[reef magnet]

man, I got a sale on infinite Fighting Zone but there's only 2 FZ pairs in the game, and I always have to save SSAC for a potential Palmer fight :/

[sweet mango]

like what is that type symbol

[fresh holly]

I don't know if ground is the solution here

[exotic flicker]

Do you have NC Leaf

Like left

[reef magnet]

iirc Lucy wants Speed drops..? Courtney would be very useful with her Zone as well

[exotic flicker]

She is very vital against Lucy because she spams aoe poison

[fresh holly]

yep I have moltres available

[exotic flicker]

That‘s good

Take her with you

[muted sparrow]

Do you have anyone can debuff speed ?

[fresh holly]

[heavy fjord]

buying items to make it easier to get point spreads is the play for minmaxing
