I need to get a sprint unit because I have none at all (base role, not EX role)
there's a free one soon
i would have so muchhhh
And not a moment too soon lol
Eh, need a limited one
The fact that there are 2 Sets with sprint field at arena 10
Who made this shit
Dena we need to talk
Don't you love RNG
where's mix red
mix red also been like
such a carry for me
like he literally just
i'll be 150'ing, EXing and Caking day 1
omg
Where mix Red 
mix red is disgustingly good
field support
slap him with SS Acerola and
infinite
Locked behind paywall
NC Leaf my true carry
Mix Red also awesome
But damn Leaf been handing me Ws
giga spam

also
almost
every run that I did
minus the first one because I didn't know anything
NC Rosa always gets used
Either it's sprint Strike
NCRosa is so real
NC rosa gonna get sprint cake from me bcz goddamn I don have enough sprinters

This stuff stacks right?
Yes
How many others stack?
I got only 5k3. Costed me some gold tickets smh
I believe All of em stack as long as you can grab multiple of em
Ok thanks
yeah all them stack
Well this is worthless
what is worthless?
Can't be helped but at least Psychic bad a lot of great pairs
I got one that boosted sp attack moves if raised and boosted moves if opponents stats are reduced On my last run
this is why i dont use scope anymore 
imagine looking at future disappointment

Now that we just refer to the pastebin 
I need to bookmark the sets, i will stop using Scope if I memorize that
Personally I don't mind go in blind. That's part of the charm for roguelike
I used scope first time
field is really good here ngl, especially mix red, akari and cnate 
As long as you know when to swap and when to use your big guns should be easy
the self buff on entry is just nice
I want to get max points, so if I use someone like Mix red early but get field vs argentena as area 10 I retire because no way I am winning 
well you need one tm for nate but still 
alright
I'd save MRed for later, no cap
Unless he's caked and allows you to reap more points early on
If I know the final battle isn't field, I would probably use him early because this rolex'd
Fair enough
Rolexed?
Rolex. Caked. We got many terms for the same thing 
Feelin' cute might rolex ncblue
He has his extra role
Leap of faith lets go
Ima go get EXR’s for calem and blue rn
Ah got it
Now we wait for Steven
i’ll rolex calem if i get support tech on rally next week 
Time to shoehorn 'Audemars Piguet' into a term
I wish my
Had a look through all of them and looks like the most common Area 1 Role Bonus is Tech + Support, appearing on Sets 2, 8, 14 and 18.
additionally Support + Tech is on Set 21
That's why NC Leaf was my mvp
Would a near-two year player getting in the range of 7k sound right?
second most common is Strike + Support, Sets 6, 10 or 12 alongside Set 20 for Support + Strike
me on my way ditching calem asap when i see support/tech since i dont need him for ub match up 
Ye thas good
I been getting consistently around 7.9k so you're good
Only 1 set with lucky i scored much higher
Can't lucky replace area 10? 
leon zerena stonks
although leon is probably better here than zerena
3 typings
tm refresh
How many of the first areas do you use a 2x role bonus unit with 2 role bonus fodder units?
Her nuke + full transformation alone wipes the floor with leon

Would hard without Apple cup
Score higher than
Very hard with Apple cup?
by better i mean versatile 
how much does apple cup cost
500
500 pts.
Depends on how many bonus units you have
Lets say same bonus here and there
How many bonus?
Would it be 1.5 + .5 + .5
If you don't continuously use the same unit for all fights, you permanently lose them
Yes
So 1.5 + .5 + .5
Then
200 pts without Apple cup
Vs
300 pts with apple cup
Would be equal?
I see
200 * 2.5= 500
300 * 2.5 - 500= 250
Interesting

I wonder if anyone was lucky to find Crit: Power Up
What was this Morty stage
Eusine and SS Silver's BC
Also eeeww field and sprint
The points we get are exactly the same right?
So if I buy Apple cup which is 500
It takes 500 from my score right?
Wouldn't that make hard stage better to run and not buying apple cups?
Can this game stop giving me sprint and field I only have 3 pairs for those
Unless you have some 2x units hanging around your roster, yeah, the hard stage is better that doesn't use Apple Cup
Does it need interference?
I remember eusine can trap
Yes, for SS Morty at least
Because Eusine has Whirlpool
How would a 2x unit change this?
2 + 1 + .5
I believe is how it is
3.5 basically
And full team of 2s is 4.0
Well if it's like that, then the points you gain with the Apple Cup is 550
So only a 50 point difference
I haven't used an apple cup yet 
Me too 
It’s just overkill
The nothing you're doing has consequences cup
What does apple cup do
tl:dr
win buton
Turns on hax
Pay 2 win

Don't triple queue, don't use correct moves, sync in 1 cycle
Perfect for beginners TBH
Maybe
if you want an actual answer:
Raises Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def by 500%.
The first time the user enters each battle, reduces the user's sync move countdown by three.
Lowers the total number of moves the user needs to use before they can unleash a sync move by the number of allied sync pairs participating in battle.
Restore one MP for all the moves of sync pairs that use a move successfully.
Reduces damage by 50% when the user is hit by an attack.
The move gauge charges very quickly.
Lowers the Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed, accuracy, and evasiveness of all opposing sync pairs by six stat ranks.
Raises the user's Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed, accuracy, and evasiveness by six stat ranks the first time the user enters each battle.
When an allied sync pair uses a move successfully, reduces the sync move countdown by one.
Applies the Supereffective ↑ Next effect to sync pairs that use a move successfully.
Only the first time the user enters each battle, they are affected by the following:
Enduring
Yeah, which means you practically hace hacked mons in a mobile game
Oh wow
good thing you can get a free fighting sprint pair this month!
comes with a free 5/5 and ex aswell
its still hard even with rei 
palmer barely stood a chance when i had him on vh
ignore the fact that I had 4 fighting upgrades, 4 champion upgrades and 3 crit boosts
you need to take a lot of buffs to take down before he syncs
might be because my rei is still 1/5 

1/5 rei is still great
I'm lucky to not get Palmer as my very hard Area 10 option
I played 5, 3 times argentena 1 time lucy 1 time anabel
I kinda don't wanna try palmer

thats with 3 buff btw
sync boost 1x, attack boost 2x
the most annoying part is he kept getting defense buff with swagbag 9 and the right side always use def up all on second turn
i got palmer twice and its waaay easier when i can use hop
seeing people take on Palmer blind without Apple Cup and fail gives me energy
truly the baptism of fire
Getting 2 stages with field/sprint combo 
Is this like Champion Stadium, where once you use the pairs once, you can't use them?
If you don't use them anymore for the succeeding remainder of the battles, you can't use them anymore
I gotta plan
Which means that once you replace units from your current party, those units can't be used again until you completed Area 10
And just like BV, you can only restore your team's HP and MP with items
At Area 10 rn
Darach 🧍♂️
Very Hard?
with the low low price of
250
you can buy a perma field
Yea
I did it with Ultra Jelly
nice
Got 2650 medals 🧍♂️
Give up one role for the other better half 
Or offrole the harder stage
They are the same pts right?
Heck, Bea DESTROYED him with just 2 stat boost upgrades and 3 damage upgrades (but I paired her with NC Rosa)
First when I saw set 24 and 25 I was a bit scared, then I realized that o can use NC Rosa the whole run
Anyone got one run of 12k pts.?
I don't think is possible, not enough Rolex units available
So you mean only whales with 5/5 and level 150 units can do it
In general not enough capable units have these roles (even as role ex)
Whales or not I would be astonished
I see
I hit 9k and thought it's an achievement 
I guess probably even if every unit in the game gets Rolex it would still be borderline impossible score 12k
Expecially if you don't buy any boost
What's the number of points one ought to get?
12k youd prob need a lucky stage and all the rolex
12k is max point without Lucky Stage
To get cake
You want across your 4 rallies per month to get 6k? (6k * 4 = 24k)
Realistically I should hit 3k
In one run?
Wait no
In one rally run yes
12k500 is max point without Lucky Stage
Yeah but it was really difficult to pull and lucky because multiple 2.0s (also thanks to NC Leaf)
That's why I can't imagine 11-12k at the current time
When I retire, I lost a battle pass, right?
I never dared to touch that button 
You just don't get the one you used-up back
You waste the current battle pass, and I guess you get 20% of the points you collected as a consolation prize
But you can't retire until you get a good start
If you retire without clearing the first area then you get no points
Retiring in general is not recommended
You can keep going off-role
And end with more points than ending on retire
No role still gives you 1.0
You should be really desperate to retire
Yes, desperate, stuck (new players) no more units to go through
Etc
But general idea is, clear even if you have to off-role stages
I guess you may end up stuck at round 10 if you have pretty poor roster
Just apple cup that shit 
ONLY if you have the right roles though
I think without roles that would be counter productive
I mean apple cup normal with no roles is probably still better than retiring (unless you did a bunch of 100 points runs)
If i understand the system correctly
If you get 300 pts from final stage (no roles)
And you paid 500 for apple cup
Aren't you going backwards?
Oh you mean final stage on easy difficulty? Ye ye without apple still better than retiring
Yes, but if is the only way to clear is better than retiring
However at that point I suggest normal or hard without cup
Ye
Cup is if you can't clear even at lower difficulty, or if you can fulfill roles
Don't know if it's easier normal no cup or very hard with cup
I think no roles no cup
Because you would net less than what you already had
I have only one field and only one sprint pair each

Yes but I don't know if vh + cup is easier to beat than normal without cup
I mean even vh + cup would be counter productive without the roles
You are better off doing the easiest difficulty to clear
Or maybe Normal is a more annoying stage that you can't clear, but you can clear Vh with cup
I'll try easy first
does rebuff count to disable SS Morty passive?
forgot its fucking name
for eusine/ss silver
If you can't fulfill the roles lower difficulty is better than using the cup
What's his passive
If it's condition change
Yes
Condition status no
The cup should be used only if you can get 3 roles at VH or as the last resort if you are stuck
epic
it's an x advantage 8
Rebuff would work ye
It's just these stages are made extra difficult so you might not feel it 
ah acute sense
Ye rebuff works
also nvr i stack so many dark power up and atk power up he's basically taking normal damage
uh does anyone remember a battle challenge with a steel weak diantha?
thought this was CS diantha
LMAO does she have an aurorus by any chance?
anyone done the maths on taking the Cup for stage 10 vs just doing hard
lmao yes
but i don't think this is EBE diantha
I got my ass handed to me by that BC/EBE whatever it is
it's a battle challenge
Like she would one shot all of my tanks
skill issue
I didn't buy any items so 
Got another field sprint bonus 
The upside - I can use NC Rosa the whole way. The downside... not enough field units...
Shouldnt we have had a new BR coin after reset?
exr some stuff 
Oh we can guess the pattern of role types from the first few stages?
I still haven't checked NC Rosa's kit. Just pulled her at 1/5 level 1 
I love NC Rosa, sturdy as heck and just piles on both attack ups like crazy haha
@hybrid abyss I got 18 coins and no potential tickets. Could be worse
What
The sprints aren't a big deal if you have NC Rosa or aura Cynthia rolex, the problem is when you get sprint + field
Sprint + field combo should be deemed illegal
What do you mean? Those're weekly and the week starts on Mondays
Garfield hates getting Battle passes
I did. My job don't pay as much as yours. Can't 
My only sprint unit is NC rosa
I just have sprint coins laying around
If you don't have a Sprint unit, you can make up with an EX Role
it gets counted with the points bonus
Don't be stingey and rolex your Rosa 
I forgot to mention that i have 2 Sprint EXR
and i have already cleared the shop before the reset
She only has 3 of them 
Where's the weekly battle rally ticket
Next monday
so we get 4 per month?
4 to 5 depending on how many weeks are there in one month
so on average how many medals would we need per run to clear out all important stuff in shop
For February, just the cakes alone works out to like 8k-6k
Assuming you used all tickets before February started.
i had 300 leftover iirc
argenta suicune is too much for me 💀
Change job 
Yes
Why you used so many points
Wait. How?
Just having fun. Was a test run
Using less points means higher score?
Yup
Free*
*Costs more points than clearing a lower difficulty without it
So with the battle rally we essentially get 1 free cake a month right?
Kinda cheap honestly
For a free ub win
You get all your points back from stage 10
Yes
As long as you get enough points per run yes
So was curios and tried the jelly
100 for 300% stats is def the best deal if you're in troubles in the last match
Was a quite unlucky run, but managed it well by not spending much
Got a fkn poison boost 
At this point better hope Dena delays Paldea as theme
My boosts were gym leader (great), battle facility, steel, ghost, then dark.
And I never had anything good in the shop to use
The last one I finally started getting sync boost so syncs were finally doing like 100k of damage at times. But that was grueling to get there.
what set is this?
but DAMN
If I have that
Rosa in every team is a must
Sleep cheese all the way
If a stage has bonus for support and sprint pairs, do I have to bring both to take full advantage of bonus?
Yeah
You kinda want to
or just
What about one pair with both roles?
you get 2.0 bonus
instead of 1.5
optimizing who to pick is kind of a big deal
2.0 bonus not worth
3 supports give more bonus?
Unless you are using scope
I used the scope already to see every stage.
it's worth if you have 3 units that can do it for 1k2 max
honestly my goals monthly are just
20 tickets
and 20 role cake pieces
I think i'll be fine
😛
500 a pop i think
What ticket?
5* power up
Oh those, I'm skipping those 0 use for them when I have 500 and like 3k 5* tickets.
must be nice
Sounds like 
f2p player guide soon?
Well I don't need much ex either
Maybe for psychic hse soon
Since I already ex most stuff I use
yeah i ex the stuff i use, then sometimes the odd random pair
Nah I just have been around since day 1. I only spend the $4 a month for the 3k gems which I only use for selects.
I am also day 1 but only 7 months hiatus
Nowhere near that ticket amount 
tbh lately its been a lot more random pairs since ive already exd all of the old units i use, and now its only new pairs and box fodder getting exd
We can change lineup each fight right? There's no penalty for that?
there is
As for my runs the free bonus you start with keep reappearing in the shop so ig that's how it works
All you need is to stack one theme and slap just one unit to activate the bonus
If buy multiple it will be hell
In the one I spent 150 total I purchased one extra Sinnoh theme and one binocular
200% bonus is enough to drive you to the top, then you can buy the Jelly if you want or the Apple Cup is unnecessary unless you never beat a UB
Same for the all-see telescope thing, just expensive but far from worth
Can't use the unit if you swap em
the unit u change for another is dead
Oh, so you don't want to start with good units?
What do the binoculars do? I thought they made stages visible.
they do
Like first 4 stages you can literally use ontype supports as damage
And next 3 stages can be used with non gacha stuff
Last 3 is real stat bump
last 3 stages is where boys become men
Tho, if they do shit like field+sprint early, you'll use your limited units early
So it's all down to luck
Depend on the stage
I had to go heavy in some early ones bcs CS is a thing
Like some CS are easy some others are hell
Bug Siebold is painfully strong had to drop Ash at stage 4
tbh if they pop up early you can also just not get the bonus to save them for later
Yeah I had CS malva who wanted field and sprint....I'm like yeah no to hard mode.
That was stage 2
Free Rolex for legendary arena units when 
Why save them then
because the stages become harder and the field/sprint units are generally really good
Worst field/sprint unit is still better than 90% of F2P roster
So using em early is pain

I wonder if dena will fix it if they hear the mass influx of complaints about field and sprint?
Because they are too new nobody has enough....

Also, before you consider buying the telescope it may be pretty easy to determine what your stage order:

Egg vouchers...?
It's morning here.
The all-seeing telescope covers the whole run and you get it at the start
But it's useless, early stages are easy and you prefer having a 500% boost than knowing what's next
The binocular instead (50 points) allow you to spy the "next" stage
I'm using it when i'm at stage 9 so I know if I can drop certain strong units
Used it once middle way, when I had a sprint+field stage, I wanted to check if I can drag any of those units and was really useful
Tbh I also personally hate strike + field or similar combo in higher stages
Coz I don't have NCblue 
And penny suks at physical stages
Also thinking about
for breakfeast.. 
I got strike + field like 4 times
just get Mixed and Clownace smh
I am too poor
I have almost 5k left over after using my 5 entry voucher yesterday so I only need 5k per run. I think that's doable?

I used up all my rewards 
When you get dessert (cake) mixed up with breakfast 🍽️
Yes and he's the only striker that can tank like stage 8+
Might not be able to buy all the power ups
8.5k on average per run for full 20 vouchers and PUs per month (4 rallies)
my personal best was 7550 haha
Well at least I'll get the cake which is whats important
If you average out 7k, that is extra 8 PUs per month
5k is very doable right?
Very yeah
yes
Oh that's very helpful
This mode is fun. I realized if you get a type boosted, you can use eggmons to give your party the boost!
And no feathers right? 
For 5k you can just buy the themeskill boost and a dmg multiplier up to ~7× each and pancake the mfs
Skill feathers my beloved 
Of course no feathers
Pancake?
just whale to have loads of
to ignore them in the shop 
Flatten
Return them to the 8bit days by rendering them two-dimensional
What's the best value in spending medals? Roll Cake Coin Vouchers?
I feel like full cake and power ups is way too expensive for a 4 ticket rotation tbh
New EX Roles are added way faster than we get the coins/cakes for them, so yeah
Roll Cakes > Power-ups > the rest
But power ups aren't as valuable
I think PUs > role cake if you are newbie
isn't the key for this mode to buy as less items as possible bc u get medals based on your points?
Idk about that
Since they can't get dupes of 5/5 units
I mean I would say I'm a newbie but I don't think I'm lacking in PU's
They'll get a steady source of 5* power ups from summon tickets when they're old enough in the game
That won't happen for cake
Don't PF banner give 4 cake coin?
Yeah if you summon 5 units of the same ex role you get one cake
I mean even then there's less units rolexable than ex
And lot of F2P event clears still rely on EX'd units
That's true
I have a EX saved just in case

Noice, you got the sales 
oh my god the shop lady talks when you buy something
started with electric buff
bought another 1 + half prize lence at stage 9
Damn!!
Lence?
Is there a cap to the number of units you can use in a rally
Not really
When it says my team is locked in for the challenge does that just mean area
You have to win with one team always
Gen question, is the only thing stopping me from steamrolling everything with koko/redchu the point bonuses?
Right
Key is the bonus, not winning
Focus on those, if you use broken teams like in Villa you'll end with nothing
And only one pair per battle needs to have the point bonus for it to count right
Oh I see
That's why you cant steamroll with same units
Otherwise everyone would go deoxys, NCrosa , flex
Also
I did the math
6k points for each clear is for 20 role cake pieces
8k5 points for each clear is for 20 Role Cake Pieces + 20 Gold Tickets
The roles bonus? For those you get +50% every matching
If your unit is caked and covers both roles that's +100% by itself
(It's needed to get the medals)
For the battle bonus instead, stats and whatever, only one unit is needed
Like if you have Fire boost +100% on stats, you need only one fire unit to activate it for the whole team
Do I need to use fodder for the first few areas
Most likely yes
Ideally you use weaker pairs at start
But you can get limited by stage conditions like sprint or field
So mostly relies on luck
Area 1 boosts strike and field, and my stat bonuses are bug and fire
You don't need bonuses on area 1 tbh
Just run 3 strikers
So I was using noland and flint
And yeah even still you can run og lusamine and stuff like that
And fairy weak so I used Valerie
I lost but that’s probably because those pairs are still just lvl 100 for some reason
You probably lost coz they are only level 100
Try to get atleast 120 on all units
dont let recommended lvl 80 fools you
Ypu can have 3 strikers to get the max score multipliers
For the battle bonus you need one unit of that condition to ensure the stat bonus
One important thing, don't buy random bonus focus on one
Instead of having fire bug water etch, you can have 3 of bug
Means you can slap a bug in any team and the other two units will benefit of a 300%
from Arena 2 to 9, opponents get stronger each battle
Yummy
Jeez
Usually is good sticking with the starting one, unless it's shit like fairy poison or whatever limited
trial giver 
My starting one is bug
bugscy meta
Which is why I bought the fire
Bug + villain = lusamine hyper carry
I don’t have scyther 🫠
Yes but the starting one keep reappearing in the shop, so you can stack that easily
Should I spend another 100 on it then
I haven’t beaten the first one yet
Don't be shy to spend points if you need boosts to proceed
Better to get fewer points than retire
do not retire at all
Retire is not an option 
Wasn’t planning on it
Just try your stage, you can quit and go back rearranging
Im going to retry it with the fire bonus and the additional bug and a full team at 120
Alternatively you have till the end of the month till the rally passes expire, I believe
By quitting it's getting out of the battle, not resetting
So you can wait on potential pairs you want to pull / power ups you'll be able to afford by the end of february
You will spend an attempt if you reset
That's also a good one yes
And sprint is a very rare role as of now
It'd be nice if they also reran victor this month
waiting is not a good idea imo, because you get 300 gems by clearing BR weekly
Wait, the mission pops every week?
I completely forgot

ig clearing is more important then
We have missions? Where
under Event tab somehow
Thanks for the input
Oh those
Tought it was just related to the gamemode release
So that's how we get the tickets, nice
Oh my god. This is the point of all those support units with tech ex role. Goddamn.
No, they still sucks
Support with tech ex will give you that bonus score each round.
Why use a shitty cake role for more cake roles?
Save for field n sprint cakes
You can cover roles that way
Do we have any units released that are both
No
Support cakes are also very good, for when you're stuck with something like field and support
You'd be able to use a damage dealer with support role
Variety thorton clutch 
Did I screw up by only using one of the two boosted roles in an area
Or does it not matter
I still wouldn't recommend caking supports with tech Rolex
Coz a lot of techs tend to be good tanks as well
If you consider all types of content, support EX seems best investment with your choice coins. But for awhile I will target sprint and field for BR
A lot of really good units have them too
Score boost? Then yes you need to match the roles to get more medals
Like I Exd sst red, nate haxorus, and the 2 supports for 2 sprint/2 field
Well theoretically isn’t the ceiling that all 3 units are both roles?
No one can get x6 though lol
My only field pairs are Victor and sstred
meanwhile leon
Yes eventually we have enough units EX to get x4 bonus all levels lol
I forgot about leon haha
EoS might come before we reach that point. Well mega whales who pull every MF with paid gems get alot of extra
Theoretically if you have strike/support you can run zerena, SS piers and NC red and get a x6 bonus lol
NCblue, sspiers, NCred
I had a 3.5x boost on the lucky area in 2nd run..2100 points
Too bad my shop options were trash and I barely hit 8k anyway
NC Red is Strike/Tech tho
Ah right
Then zerena it is
One cake month is quite good
So we went from 36 cake coins per month to 60
Plus tickets
I counted those
I think current influx of Rolex is still slow
Oh then ye
Daily coins is 30+30 daily tickets becomes 6 coins + 20 BR exchange + 4-5 BR missions per month
It will backfire in a couple of years
Just like ppl are farming
in LG now
Silver PU are kinda more rare 
it doesnt matter if you only use one of the roles like... as in tech/sprint and you ran three techs
Ohh yea
They can solve silver PU issue by removing the cap on monthly exchange
what matters is the number of matches
I have like 500 of those brown ones
Ye, im always at 1k
Farming only the VA obv
But now we have feathers
Even if skill gears lost a lot bcs of Battle Rally
Too complex to use
I realizes the 4* are more rare like 6 months ago and stopped e exchanging
Yeah pretty dumb how annoying it is to redo a team sometimes all 3 per area
More reason to never use skill gear
nah
Skill gears are still vital
You can't do some runs without those
Like tank Caitlin
You want the damage reduction and stuff to make it work
And +80 atk on form change units is still better than +60
Ehh, but if you exclude the other two, it's more likely they'll explode from sync
Skill gears are great for CS and LG
Or any themed team, sure can be done in BR
I don't even know what the max bonuses possible on skill gear are
I just been using main character skill gear mostly
If I use 1000 yellow feathers would it unlock all the ranges to show me in menu
Almost finished the doc
The comparsion thing
No, I used 1k feathers and more and still have few not listed 
We need to be able to optimize skill gear 😴
I have gears for vital types atleast
First they should fix the menu
Why we have two type sections
Only missing on my weaker roster like ground
It is rough on a min-max addict like me
But only having to do 1 per week won't be so stressful compared to yesterday
I just need point clarifications.
Hard Battles with 3 units with a 1.5X boost would be 500 points correct?
UH Battles with the same criteria would be 750 Points. just trying to check my math.
Lowkey about to make a reddit post ranting about the apple cup
Yeah 200 x 2.5 is 500
I didn't notice area 10 being a higher base score
I could be wrong
OK, is the final round 10 Thornton fight nearly impossible without the apple cup? Is the apple cup mandatory?
it never was a higher base score,
normal: 100
Hard: 200
VH: 300
Yeah that's what I thought
using Apple Cup doesnt mean a free win, you still have to watch out for stage gimmicks too
this is the same for all battles, what's different is that.... you can buy an apple cup
what team are you using?
just want to shed some light on the math that I was looking into
Silver, ss Hilda, NC blue. I have electric upgrade from start. That's it
Didn't buy any from store other than scope to view all stages
did you use Hilda's Searing Shot in the first 40%?
Didn't have time, Hooh and victini got cleanly two shot
Am pinging you? Didn't know that. Just replying
replying to someone always pings, you have to manually turn it off
Where do I turn it off?
anyway, can you take a screenshot of the shop? there might be useful but cheaper items than Apply Cup
Yes
I'd use NC leaf, but she is 1/5 and doesn't have ex role unlocked. So, no bonus.
Anyone know how important it is to develop skill gears for the new event? Haven’t been doing much with them ngl, but I’m sure they should be of some use?
Not important
It's just regular battles in a rogue-like gamemode, skill gear relevance shouldn't change just for Battle Rally
I never really learnt of how we get battle rally tickets regularly.. so how do we?
Math is right
Round 10 very hard is impossible without items so it’s easier to go to hard
It depends on the stage & whom you have left.
But the math is right, buying the apple cup, while fun, is an overall deficit to rewards earning.
I had a team of Morty, Anni N, and NC leaf with a johto region boost and couldn’t beat very hard
for the fire weak one
Nc leaf 3/5?
Yes
how are some hards harder than very Hard????

some of the rounds are just that unbalanced
the opponents in Hard mode hit like a toothpick, meanwhile Very Hard hits like a monster truck
Depending on the roles / boost you are given some times the hard mode is worse if you get one of the nasty ones
in stage 10, you either buy the apple cup, or you use the stacked region/move upgrade that you got from previous stage
is the 10th stage that hard?
Some much harder than others yes
I had a field/sprint annabel hard mode yesterday and it was not clearable with the dragon boost I had. I was doing no item purchase runs
Just don't buy the apple
As you see above, if you have to buy that you can just do hard instead of very hard
And overall the themed boost are enough
Or get other items, like the Jelly (cost 100, gives +300% stats)
But that's not fun. 
If you know what support/DPS you’re planning to use, you can buy 2-3 power ups for their type/theme and its not that hard
I'm sure someone will do an eggmon solo sooner or later on area 10 very hard
Just buying everything
Magikarp solo 
magikarp pair with buddy move splash when
Someone literally made Apple Cup viable..... but this was how 
100 more points than from doing hard mode.
hard mode would have been 800 no?
200 * 2.5= 500
1200 - 500= 700
he's runnin 4.0 bonus
200 * 4= 800
That's what I said above^ so still -100 right?
Well, it depends
Only depending on if hard was clearable
would he even be able to beat it with that team tho
because that team looks wack to complete in hard mode
Exactly - this is what I said earlier, when hard isn't beatable the apple cup becomes king, because you can do exactly what you did there stack whatever you want
Just when I typed this before some were saying "hard always clearable"
which is just not true
But before rushing the cup is worth chekcing other items
You may just need one or two small buffs
agree
500 is a lot of items
Guard Chocolat is 100
What it does?
50% damge red?
Iirc it basically adds Protect onto every move
Wow
What's the thought here -- if going for cake vouchers, should I hoard my extra rally tickets to the end of the month and use them to make up what I didn't get right away? Or just spend them all now?
Rewards won't reset until next month so just get the cakes whenever you want. There is no making up for missing yesterday
Yeah I had too much going on yesterday and accepted that lol
I was able to use something like that and clear a stage with akari, rei, and uh the houndoom rocket admin.
If you're doing more than 6k/stage then yes, means 4 tickets are enough for next reset
Okay cool. I didn't yesterday but I was just figuring it all out. I think I can probably get decent numbers while using my brain. I'll hoard for now and see where I am at the end of the month
I regret calling Archer the worst of the 4 admins, he's my sprint boss now 
Agreed
In terms of optimizing the longer you wait the more field/sprint pairs you have. So the game plan now is to wait as long as possible before using rally tickets
Oh cool, good point, thanks! As I...have very few lol
I definitely got some use out of houndoom / golbat rocket pairs O_O
Archer
Same I only track the pokemon
I look forward to getting Riley then I can run him with cake aura Cynthia. 
I tend to learn the character name like a pokemon
Proton: Golbat
Archer: Houndoom
Petrel: Weezing
Ariana: Arbok
granted, the rockets took me a while to remember.
Just check the emotes

Getting a type +/or region boost seems like the key to wrecking all 10 levels and getting the best score, since you are strong enough to do highest difficulty on everything.
Starring with bad trainer type boost is a death blow, since it seems to keep forcing the same bad bonuses on you between rounds
these are my next cake unlocks- based on the 4 runs I've done so far
the rare "field tech"
Ah tech
Which one?
Yeah, tech EX role
it's not a good combo, but for battle rally it is
I'll check if she has multipliers on grid
She has power play

Yeah the tech role is good
And another multiplier too
Then after those will be the new master fair
"then hold to next month"
I already started investing in psychic pairs for march
I caked and coined Elio - also very useful in multi run battle rally
I'll give priority to the support ex roles but viola is a worthy consideration
Been using 1/5 so wasn't aware of nuke potential
it's very often to get a "sprint/field" pairing
having one of each carry over saves tons of units
I had meloetta carry through 7-8-9-10 in one of my runs
1 - 2.0 + 3 1.5s
I think it's worth to get one of "each combo" if possible
then go back to grabbing supports
My scores from last night, will use my 5th ticket after we get Riley and Gladion so I have more Sprint pairs to use.
on same game plan, but you'll need to use one for the weekly next week
Couldn’t get bonus points on every fight which is why they’re not consistent, mostly because I would get fights where I had no choice but to use a Support to not die 
That's gonna happen, huh? Like, is it worth it to try and keep the same units for as many battles as possible as long as you only lose the role bonus for one or two?
Once I committed to cake for NC Blue due to difficulty of BR, that is my excuse to just cake all MFs before any others
I’m debating caking NCCalem for use in Tech fights, I already caked Penny for Strike ones, plus I’ll be using her once I get SSGladion anyway.
well done !!
what EX role SS Gladion gets?
Him getting MPR on sync for his Buddy move will be extremely useful if you use him for multiple fights
We get Riley this month as well which will help
an ideal team for SS Gladion what would that be?
If you have the time to preplan the run, (though that requires lens scope too) usually switching as often as possible is the optimal point plqy
You can't preplan BR teams though haha, unless you are asking for other strike/sprint pairs
Outside of BR? SS Wally or SS Mina and Penny. In BR you have to wing it.
Just thinking about those sprint+ field rounds. Sure, let me just throw away all my limited units in one run for them to ask for it again in two rounds
Also with only 5 options for the game to choose. You are going to be seeing sprint or field or both quite often
I'm trying to prioritize cakes for MFs with sprint or field
due to this
Those of us who skipped Rosa are definitely gonna struggle more
it's only a 30% chance to not roll sprint or field at all
I didn’t even get any Lucky Rounds last night 
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
As interesting as this mode is, planning is more complex than LG even...I will get burnout
Explain
This Battle Rally is hard but honestly I'm actually into it.
they're one of these layouts
Peekuo
I'm going to miss the battle villa rewards though
Oh this is the 8-3-3-3-3 or 4-4-r-4-4 I saw discussion on
The what
I want to battle villa more
O_O it's not even random hah
The roles for the BR levels are a set pattern. Either you end with 4 required for all 5 roles, or 8 required for 1 role and 3 for each of the rest
and by area 2 you know which set you have
oh wow
Oh it’s set roles?
So if you are stuck with 8 for field or sprint it is a terrible run
Interesting
Very interesting
Oh yeah
🅱️inned
This paste bin is wild - I can't believe it's not random
Tbh I’d rather know my opponents than my role sets 
It's good to manage your resources
for rounds 1-6 this is very important
Should be pinned imo
Cause you can one monster it
@fleet plaza adding this to your pin somewhere would be so helpful lol
looking
===== Set 25 =====
- Sprint + Support
- Sprint + Field
- Sprint + Strike
- Support + Tech
- Sprint + Support
- Sprint + Field
run 2 sprint supports profit
wow it's full sets?
so you're saying
by round 2 you can know which set you're on
someone actively programmed the option to get screwed that much by sprint/field
and prepare your whole run
thanks for the share i'll add it
Thank you mael and dreamy
wait, what is that "Set" part
all 10 rounds are pre-determined
like packages
once you get to round 2 you can figure out which
in fact i think Runner is considering making a command to tell you which set you are in so you can pre-plan
i stg if anyone ever again buys the scope like it wasn't useless before this already
Finally, Paulo's time to shine!
Oh, I think I understand, after I see which bonus role I get in stage 2, I can check the pastebin for the set
and based on that I can pre plan, right?
correct
Man set 25 really is a nightmare
shud i save my 2 perm battle rally tickets or umm spend them
Another 9k 
Nick must be stopped
I wanted higher but got hit with Argenta
Easy af extreme battle btw
Didn’t even need to remove the psychic terrain
Where’d the PT come from then
No apple cup 
slowbro
Did you stack the Region/Move upgrade bonus?
The region upgrade is 100 points
Are you mixing up Argenta with Lorelei?
I already bookmarked it and planned to save them the moment i knew they were a set 
Must have bought an atk upgrade or something
No, they didn't buy regions, they used a total of 50 pts
Maybe the free bonus and either a type damage bonus or a Crit buff cause those cost 50
I literally used my starting upgrade (Villan) then only bought an upgrade for Rebuff
I don’t believe in get out of jail free cards
We brave UB’s in this house
Villain is a theme you can get?
You did Very hard or just hard?
Very Hard
Ouf
When will it be my time to shine
Yeah with decent units and any boosts
Bigger ouf if it was archie
It’s pretty easy
Maxie’s job was sit there and hit solar beam (it worked)
Taiyo gonna get you for mixing them up
First run, not half bad.
Yeah that’s the problem with Apple cup, you could do Hard with 3 on role units for 500, so to justify Apple Cup you need 5 roles on very hard for 1050
Good start
7850 is the golden number to aim for on average
Lack of field and sprint pairs hurt the score a little
If you get 7850 every time you’ll get all the coins and 5* powerups
In theory if the timing of the passes works out
if you care about the PUs, I don't 
But you also missed yesterday’s set as well so you should be fine
I need powerups so badly that i’ve considered using my daily tickets on them
Dead serious
try-harding is expensive huh
i have 2 extra passes that I can ue, but imma save them for when I have a sht run
Does the pass refresh daily? I didn't play yesterday and I still have 4 left
no
Weekly
5 a week is a lotta passes
there are 2 weekly missions giving 1 pass and 1 cake coin voucher, and 300 gems for completing them
Oh, 1. So more like csmm. Ok
You get 4 or 5 every month depending on the month
Do we have a link to every shop option too? There is a +100% stats if critical hitting or what?
Is there an icon for what item is discounted each round. I often don't notice there being one
Yeah
Pizza
The sale of all time
Wow if the sets have only 25 layout then buying scope is unnecessary
