Battle Rally

[feral mesa]

But are there any E4 that are actually good or have good 5 stars

[leaden wraith]

both need 3/5 lmao, and Glacia is not solid at all

[feral mesa]

At least u can use tapus with that buff right?

[crisp token]

True, but it's an overall smaller pool

[leaden wraith]

listing each of them is very time consuming, so you should check #1008010844547842079 and ask here if you are confused about placements

[urban ledge]

Thankfully my trial giver pool isn’t uh

Godawful

[simple frost]

Glacia's just there to fulfil the roll of as a tank while SST Red just goes and snipes tbh.

[urban ledge]

And I had a few op ones

[leaden wraith]

Tapu Koko doesnt have Trial Giver theme, mind you

[urban ledge]

Wait

[crisp token]

Use your 3 Tapus wisely

[feral mesa]

I only have tapu acerola too anyways

[urban ledge]

Oh yeah

Hau is the rival lol

If only Hala got it instead of Hau

[crisp token]

Hau's certainly giving people a trial in the EB

[urban ledge]

LMAO that was such BS

[simple frost]

oh right

[urban ledge]

No wonder they only made you do it with 1 Alola and 1 Fairy requirement

[simple frost]

forgot i managed to get 7.4k for this week.

[feral mesa]

Now I cleared it without syncing twice

[simple frost]

Area 4 gave me Lucky, and i cashed in 1500 pts ;_;

[leaden wraith]

you mistook with the BC

[simple frost]

I think i can buy the vouchers full now

Ugh

[tame forge]

You still have one more rally

[simple frost]

6k's enough for next week. any more is nice i guess

[urban ledge]

Oh right eb has no requirements haha

[silent swift]

The exchanges reset monthly right ?

[leaden wraith]

yup

[naive tendon]

i'n only at area 1 but the boost is on sale

do i take it for later?

[feral mesa]

Help with gigasregi

[leaden wraith]

is that VH? how many boosts do you have?

also can you show your remaining units and shop?

[feral mesa]

i have apple cup in shop

[leaden wraith]

i would say yes, but be wise with purchasing items to squeeze most points as possible

[stoic cairn]

anyone has the UB for round 10 this week?

[crisp token]

It's random per person

[leaden wraith]

not worth buying it unless you want to have fun, doing Hard difficulty without cup gives more points than doing VH with cup

[leaden wraith]

UB always appears in Arena 10

[stoic cairn]

yea i know

[feral mesa]

Only these buffs, just trying it out for the first time

[stoic cairn]

but i wanna know what opponents

pin doesnt work

[crisp token]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1J_Wf9t4ZIOMwdlYEsIzgENDdYCut-AEX0pJiwbcIrVY/edit#gid=0

[stoic cairn]

oh thanks

[crisp token]

It's the 4 UBs we have right now + Palmer and Lucy

[stoic cairn]

wait this 6 UBs are randomly shuffled?

[leaden wraith]

yes

[crisp token]

Yes

[stoic cairn]

wow that means if i get palmer as max difficulty im fcked

[crisp token]

Random per run

[gentle maple]

Getting palmer with 2 or less stat boost is automatic doomed

[feral mesa]

Oh that means I am fucked

[crisp token]

Nah just get one of the one-use items

[gentle maple]

It's best to do hard

[crisp token]

Or drop to Hard

No need to stress

[gentle maple]

The only item I've seen work on palmer is the dango

Get to your syncs super fast and brute force palmer that's the strat

[leaden wraith]

how about guard chocolate? does it help you tanking the sync + max move?

[stoic cairn]

oh

thats ex

[feral mesa]

This is my shop

[crisp token]

Didn't even help against Anabel

[simple frost]

if VH is like you dont have stat buffs, Palmer / Argenta / Anabel is near impossible. I'd just drop down to Hard instead.

[feral mesa]

I dunno how to send remaining pairs cuz won't it take a lot of screenshots

[leaden wraith]

look like its better to do H instead

[simple frost]

Even if you had stat buffs though, Anabel and Palmer can be challenging 😭

[feral mesa]

Palmer not possible for me?

[leaden wraith]

i did stall Darach with it so i thought its op in other UB as well

[leaden wraith]

do you have SSA Cynthia, NC Hop or Rei?

[feral mesa]

Nay

[crisp token]

You have 8 buffs, I think you could do it

[simple frost]

Its possible, but try it first xD

[urban ledge]

I REGRET NOTHING

[leaden wraith]

yeah no hurt trying out first

[crisp token]

TBF it is OP, up until Anabel +2 Crits and nukes you through it anyway

[simple frost]

2.4k wow.

Oh hey, you got Area 4 lucky like i did o/

[feral mesa]

I tried it and lost that's why I am asking for help

[leaden wraith]

just slap Vigilance on everyone

[simple frost]

did you buy anything in shop?

[leaden wraith]

go far H difficulty then

[simple frost]

like in Area 10?

[feral mesa]

I just kept buying the first buff and nothing else

[leaden wraith]

not worth wasting more points for a very difficult stage

[feral mesa]

And 1 debuff

[crisp token]

They barely did 5% of her HP at that point, it's not going to help

[feral mesa]

Here

[simple frost]

whose your Hard opponent?

[feral mesa]

I will probably clear hard easily. It's Seviper lady

[leaden wraith]

what team did you use? it sounds no Cerena

Lucy UB is more managable

[simple frost]

oh she's super easy. Just Antitoxin on everyone o/

[leaden wraith]

i recommend checking the pins for her detailed gimmicks

[feral mesa]

I will prolly clear with Latios, Camerupt, Groudon

[simple frost]

with 8x Stat Buffs, just have a an Elite Four member in there.

[feral mesa]

Oh right will use glalie instead of latios

[simple frost]

Like, Bertha.

[crisp token]

Yeah no Cerena, I tried PalDawn, May, NC Blue due to Strike/Tech role and Fairy boost

[feral mesa]

Bertha gone in the begining

[leaden wraith]

is NC Blue 3/5? he has double debuff tiles

[feral mesa]

I mean if my SST red couldn't off type Palmer I don't think my other options can

[simple frost]

oh right, what's your Bonus Roles for Area 10?

[feral mesa]

I have NC serena

[crisp token]

He is, but they also buff their defenses so much she flips to Reinforced very quickly

[feral mesa]

The 2 new ones

[simple frost]

Sprint and Field? D:

[feral mesa]

Yeah

[leaden wraith]

can you show your Sprint and Field roster?

[crisp token]

Not that Weakened seems to make much difference, she still has a crapton of health even when debuffed

[leaden wraith]

the bonus roles are bad

[feral mesa]

I only have Nemona and Spectrier for those and Nemona is already ded

[simple frost]

Maxie should be able to deal with Lucy as long as you've got Antitoxin i suppose.

[feral mesa]

I haven't even gotten Riley yet. I reinstalled the game and got pushed into battle rally and then forgot everything else

Imma just clear Lucy then

Thanks for the help

[simple frost]

too bad about that Field/Sprint bonus 😭

[crisp token]

Yeah sometimes you just gotta take the L

[leaden wraith]

is the login bonus for welcoming battle rally still up? you can do more runs with more careful strategy after this one

[feral mesa]

This was way too easy

[feral mesa]

I don't think so? I didn't get 4 extra tickets

[fickle drum]

and of course 1st stage is Sprint/Field

[leaden wraith]

ah too bad

[feral mesa]

What is the optimal number of tickets to cash out after completing battle rally

[simple frost]

6-7k per week.

that's for 4 week months.

forgot whats for like 5 week months

like 4.5k or something iirc.

[crisp token]

How much do you need to do per week for all cake coins and 5* tickets again

[leaden wraith]

if your second round is Sprint/Strike, your set is heavily focused on Sprint, so be careful

[leaden wraith]

Sages got it covered in the pins

[simple frost]

oh cool its on the pins now o/

[crisp token]

Ah 8500

Ok good I'm on track

[west abyss]

Hi on track

[urban ledge]

So close man

[simple frost]

Double Lucy? What's your stat buffs?

[craggy helm]

Oh….thats not….

[leaden wraith]

you dont need to use them in the same team

[urban ledge]

Ugh I can’t think of a good roster for this final stage

[leaden wraith]

pretty sure there are other Champion units dont appear after the filter like base Blue

[craggy helm]

Obviously but I legit only have four units I can use that’s a LOT of teams without the boosted stats

[urban ledge]

Spread out your champions, use them in subsequent teams if possible, and try to beat the first two stages without them

[leaden wraith]

what boosts and units matching with bonus roles do you have?

[urban ledge]

Here’s in the shop

[leaden wraith]

depending on your role set you can use the same unit for a few rounds

[urban ledge]

Those are all my ground

And my Unovans

Dammit I used up Caitlin already

[leaden wraith]

i dont think you can do VH tbh

[urban ledge]

Yeah I’m chalking it up to a lost cause honestly lol

[leaden wraith]

and you dont have anyone countering Lucy's poison except giving everyone Antitoxin

[urban ledge]

Yep

Well except Clay

But no bonus sadly

[leaden wraith]

Lucy's poison is aoe btw

[craggy helm]

NEVERMIND I HAD SUPPORT UNITS ENABLED, I have 13 units w/ the champion title

[leaden wraith]

figured

[urban ledge]

Yep

Fought her many times before haha

Very annoying

Can’t wait for her UB to come after we have uh

[leaden wraith]

try to save good pairs for later rounds

[urban ledge]

What was it

Lucky Skill slots

[leaden wraith]

i have never fought against her

[craggy helm]

Like all my champion units are the good units tho

[leaden wraith]

save the best for the last

most UBs are no joke

also be sure to go to pomatools and check your full role set to better prepare

[stoic cairn]

the buffs are pretty good investment

[urban ledge]

Wait…

[stoic cairn]

palmer vh really do need buff damn

[simple frost]

350 pts for Palmer? 😮

3 stat buffs + 1 damage buff?

[stoic cairn]

yea

mostly main character

but i do have another initial main character buff

[simple frost]

so 4 stat buffs i guess?

[stoic cairn]

yes

[simple frost]

hum for palmer i had like 4 stat buffs, he still managed to hit me though.

[stoic cairn]

i think the trick is using non supports in early stages so the algorithm can spawn supports for later stage

[simple frost]

oh for me, i just... run the same teams.

[stoic cairn]

yea i did reset 2 or 3 times

but the sprint role did help

[simple frost]

he did hit me, but like i still have 2/3rd of my HP.

[stoic cairn]

its the fcking max move

with or without normal zone

[craggy helm]

I hate field and spirit boosts

[stoic cairn]

no way u can tank that

[leaden wraith]

sorry for ruining the fun but it doesnt work like that
you get a set of bonus roles at the start of round 1

[stoic cairn]

hmm

it might not work all the time i think

for first round i was using all tech

and secondly also non supports

[simple frost]

all tech? D:

[stoic cairn]

yea

[west abyss]

The set is always pre-determined

[stoic cairn]

not for the first 2 i think

[leaden wraith]

its just purely a coincidence

[stoic cairn]

after 2 then the rest will be predetermined

at least from what i saw in previous battle rally too

but of cos it doesnt work all the time

[leaden wraith]

no, the set is predetermined at the start already

[west abyss]

It definitely does work all the time, there's just different sets that start out the same

[stoic cairn]

then why pomatools require 2 rounds

to pretermine the rest of the rounds

[west abyss]

Because, there's different sets that start with the same Area 1 bonus

[stoic cairn]

oh

[west abyss]

See this

[stoic cairn]

whoever got this unlucky af

[simple frost]

i kinda want Set 24 tbh 😮

[craggy helm]

Should I grab anything else from the shop?

[simple frost]

NC Rosa + Mix Red turbo

[leaden wraith]

if you want to get the most points possible, its better to buy 1 - 2 theme boosts, until Round 10

then you can choose to whether do H difficulty without buying more items, or do VH difficulty with extra items

[urban ledge]

Boo yah baby

My personal best so far haha thanks to a lucky spread for my roster

And the first appearance of a lucky stage!

[simple frost]

Noice!

[polar fable]

Forgot to SS but I got 8100 without buying anything I had a ground bonus so I just made sure to have a ground unit in my team

Got sprint/field lucky stage, and had atleast 3 left luckily, didnt buy anything because there was no sale

[craggy helm]

🫡 I was up against Champ leaf surprised I won first attempt lmao

[nimble holly]

Finally reach over 10k and no lucky stage😂 sadly

Lenora carry team vs stupid poison

Hear trainer move wat restore hp and status its superb

[stoic cairn]

wow 9.5k

[oblique breach]

I just used Victor and Ghost Horse

And I'm at Round 2

[wary kayak]

Stage 10 is blessedly sane

[craggy helm]

Honestly really happy with myself this time with battle rally, haven’t needed to ask for help building teams yet and I’m just starting area 5

[outer jasper]

Designed for NC Red lol

[gentle maple]

Gamble paid off

Quite the lucky area

[west abyss]

holy shit

Nicely done

[gentle maple]

On hindsight I was scared of palmer on area 10 and bought a discounted fighting zone but thinking clearly it was a waste it wouldn't give me enough to push through palmer anyways

[hallow bolt]

11k wtf

[stoic cairn]

bruh wtf

[gentle maple]

Involves throwing away a lot of good sync pairs early on ngl

[stoic cairn]

how

the multiplier for this lol

[grizzled gale]

Is there any way for me to beat Very Hard Argenta with max bonus, or should I go down to Hard?

Also if I’m calculating correctly, Hard with 3 sync pair bonus will give me more points than Very Hard with 2 such pair bonuses, right?

[gentle maple]

This was my set

[stoic cairn]

quite diverse

[gentle maple]

First area I alr threw Elaine away

[stoic cairn]

im assuming u have quite a lot of ex role

[gentle maple]

Yeah

[stoic cairn]

that explains

[gentle maple]

A bad start of bug but got Kanto on area 2

[gentle maple]

Doesn't look possible u need to apply negative status change twice on her

[grizzled gale]

Yeah unfortunately I had to use NC Ross (EXR) to get through the previous Sprint / Field stage…

[gentle maple]

Looks like u need to go hard

Also for argenta u need to change weather too

Rain gear 5 and those gradual heals will be quite hard to deal with

[grizzled gale]

3 sync pair role bonus for hard is better than 2 for very hard, right?

[gentle maple]

500 pts vs 600 pts

[stoic cairn]

its possible but i think this is hard because u only had 2 stacks

[gentle maple]

I mean if u have a way to clear it with just 2 bonus sure it's better

But argenta is quite demanding

[grizzled gale]

I have Adaman 3/5

[stoic cairn]

the team doesnt have common theme skill either

so its even harder

[grizzled gale]

Adaman can change weather + apply rebuff

[stoic cairn]

argenta has lots of annoying conditions to fufil

and that will compromise the roles

[gentle maple]

Just make sure to keep a rebuff on 50% and reapply it

And switch out the weather

[stoic cairn]

bro i think u almost hit max points

[gentle maple]

Your adaman gonna be working overtime

[gentle maple]

Cynthia adaman and gladion might be possible?

Give it a shot I guess

If u can't no shame dropping to hard

[stoic cairn]

the stack isnt enough

need at least 4 stacks

[gentle maple]

Isn't that only for palmer

[stoic cairn]

oh really?

[gentle maple]

Idk I haven't seen anyone cleared argenta with less than 3 stacks

Maybe possible?

[stoic cairn]

yea palmer benchmark was 5 stcks

[gentle maple]

Nah 4 is enough for palmer

[stoic cairn]

4 is enough yes

but with other buff

[gentle maple]

It's very specifically Cynthia with sprint and chop or rei

[stoic cairn]

the phys or sp buff

i did it with 5 buffs

[gentle maple]

Palmer is just too future proof

[stoic cairn]

but with that said i used nemo , ssa cynthia and zerena

[gentle maple]

I did palmer 3 stacks, NC leaf Cynthia and chop

[stoic cairn]

the sprinting does matter here

[gentle maple]

It was a bit stressful with those quad queues

[stoic cairn]

yea

sync accl was very needed there

so u can get sync buffs faster

[gentle maple]

My plan now for rally is buy only 1 stack of buff and go all the way

[stoic cairn]

once max move hits

its over

[gentle maple]

If it's palmer or argenta default to hard

[stoic cairn]

with or without normal zone

[gentle maple]

Idk if anyone tried crit defense to block the max move crit tho

[stoic cairn]

jasmine?

[gentle maple]

Would be pretty wild if it works since mina has it

Yeah some sync pairs have it

[stoic cairn]

but thats very temperory use

his dps will still hit hard af

[gentle maple]

If it lets u survive the max and ko back it's worth

Especially since mina gives damage guard to everyone too and heal

[stoic cairn]

even then

one dps isnt enough

because im assuming ppl will use ssa cynthia against him

[gentle maple]

Yeah palmer sides are a problem too

[stoic cairn]

so thats 2 supports gone

[gentle maple]

We need better fighting pairs for palmer

Or something that can delay it's sync

[stoic cairn]

sleep chain

can he?

[wary kayak]

KO denial on the sides, perhaps?

[grizzled gale]

Adaman carries this stage all on his own, thanks for the help

[crisp token]

has anyone done a count of which dual role combos appear the most?

[gentle maple]

Thanks for the result now I know I can do argenta with adaman

[gentle maple]

Don't think so but I know there's a set where SST always have bonus throughout the entire 10 stages

[plush anchor]

I am still sat at stage 1 thinking to myself how to maximize my bonuses

[crisp token]

Ok so counting every occurance of each role combo across all sets, these are how many times each combo appears in total (flipped combos are combined e.g. Tech+Support = Support+Tech):

1. Tech + Support: 37
2. Field + Sprint: 37
3. Sprint + Strike: 28
4. Strike + Tech: 27
5. Support + Field: 25
6. Strike + Support: 23
7. Strike + Field: 22
8. Tech + Sprint: 20
9. Tech + Field: 16
10. Support + Sprint: 15

so if you wanna cake solely to be able to hit as many double role bonuses as possible, Tech + Support is the best choice (Field + Sprint pairs don't exist yet I don't think)

[west abyss]

No wonder they've been releasing so many supports with tech EXR

[crisp token]

which sucks because outside this mode Tech Support sucks

[normal python]

So you mean Calem's EX role isn't useless?

[crisp token]

well, Support Tech

also Field + Sprint is 2nd highest

Sprintfield is not just a meme

[wary kayak]

Calem can't fix my computer worth a damn

[crisp token]

it's actually of the most common combos

[crisp token]

"Have you tried whacking it with water shurikens?"

[outer jasper]

What are you guys using your leftover battle points besides cake tokens? Just ?

[stoic cairn]

lmao sprint support being the least

[crisp token]

wait hang on I forgot to combine flipped combos

[stoic cairn]

theres overlapping combos u might want to concise it

yea lol

[karmic briar]

Support + field being 4
Vthorton going to the cake shop

[crisp token]

ok updated, though not much changed in terms of positions

Tech+Support and Field+Sprint are still stupidly high

[obsidian sentinel]

What’s wrong with tech support?

[crisp token]

most of the pairs are actually Support+Tech

[stray ravine]

it's not a good combo when you realize most of the pairs having it are reversed

wasting tech cakes on a support is just

[outer jasper]

The only tech with support is NC Serena and NC Leaf right?

[stray ravine]

no, there are 5

[vagrant moon]

Eevees

[stray ravine]

and SS Steven (soon that is)

[outer jasper]

Ah

Crazy how SS Steven now has all 3 base roles now tbh

Wished he got field ex role tho tbh

But support still good

[crisp token]

I guess I'm gonna burn all my role cake tickets on Tech cakes for my Supports

[tame forge]

Yes, give in to the support cake temptation

[crisp token]

[tame forge]

Ah I read it the opposite way

Support cakes on tech units is the way

[crisp token]

That is a sane choice though

Caking Falloebe into a Tech, on the other hand...

[fickle drum]

there's 2 possible routes for getting 1st area Sprint/Field. do I just pick a route and risk it 😦 ?

[gentle maple]

Honestly the only support worth tech cake for rally is Elaine imo

[gentle maple]

I mean u can play it safe

Or consider both routes then use your sync pairs

[fickle drum]

the safe option has potential 300 points loss in 1st area
I can save my units for later areas, but one route has no later areas usage

[gentle maple]

Then it's your gamble

If u have a diverse pool with a lot of rolex I would just risk it

That's what I did just now

[fickle drum]

sprint: ss gladion, riley, ssa cynthia, nc rosa, archer
field: victor, sst red, nc nate
however one route has most of these as double role matches in later areas

[crisp token]

Imo better to cash in on the double roles

[gentle maple]

Yeah I realize if u have a diverse pool and rolex this mode actually tests your greed

[crisp token]

Every double role you save but end up not using = loss of 150 points (VH)

[fickle drum]

it's the lucky that scares me

if it's a double lucky for units I've used early it would be sad 🥲

[crisp token]

The chance of it not being Lucky is much higher

[fickle drum]

all right, yolo picking a route 😄

[gentle maple]

I mean don't have to overthink it

If u can hit 8.5k for cake voucher and PU it's all good

6k for cake voucher only

[gentle maple]

I threw away my NC blue on area 5 even tho I could keep for a safer area 10

[urban ledge]

See this is why you cake trash units. So you can throw them in earlier rounds

Disclaimer: don’t

[gentle maple]

Actually I guess it was a calculated risk since I still had SSA Cynthia and NC leaf

[fickle drum]

last 2 weeks I did 9.7k points on both runs so I should be good at collecting all cake vouchers + PUs this month
this is just my brain overthinking it

[gentle maple]

Yeah then u should be fine

Even got enough to cash in some feathers

[fickle drum]

I don't use the skill gear, sounds too complicated 😄
probably just carry over the points to next month

[urban ledge]

Yeah I never buy feathers haha

[gentle maple]

I mean if the shop doesn't change u will keep having excess medals

Hoping they put some artwork in the rally shop or something

[fickle drum]

[heavy fjord]

oh joy, penny battle challenge in the Rally, this is gonna be fun

[gentle maple]

Damn area 7 same as me too

[karmic wraith]

beat argenta w this wack ass team

strike tech bonus

maxie contributed trust

[fickle drum]

doing lucy area 10 (hard) with 3 supports

good run

[heavy fjord]

got a really good role set this week, ended up with what i think is a new personal best for points bc of it

[stark dawn]

he removed rain twice

[karmic wraith]

it was super wack cuz once i got to half bar i had to sync with maxie then sync with blue

was worried i would run out of electric terrain

but thankfully red dished out the 330k nuke

[cobalt furnace]

Could use some advice (planning to use 1/5 EXR NC Rosa the whole way through, and SS Gladion from stage 5 onwards)
Currently at Stage 2, and I’m wondering if I should buy the gradual healing (150 pts) from shop

[languid widget]

What are your strongest options for the final stage?

[cobalt furnace]

I’ll wait and see but I was considering smth like NCRosa, SSGladion, SSHau

But that third slot could definitely vary

I was just worried that Rosa would eventually get worn out without a way to heal

[karmic briar]

What are the boosts in the shop? Have a look for crit up, atk/spatk up

They cost 50 and are really game changing, best value.

[cobalt furnace]

This atm

I was just thinking of resetting for Gladion’s TM MPR

[karmic briar]

Also, last stage has tech up as bonus so I’d save ncleaf or NcSerena if you have them

[cobalt furnace]

(I don’t)

[karmic briar]

I’d get an additional electric one

[karmic briar]

Sstred?

[cobalt furnace]

Yup (but not EXR)

Oh yeah, i could definitely use him, but it’s elec moves up, not elec boost

[karmic briar]

You should definitely save him with x2 electric for last stage

Also if you have any support with tech ex role unlocked, keep them for stage 10.

I’d go NCRosa from stage 1 to 6, SsAcynthia from 8 to 10 (tm MPR)

[cobalt furnace]

My ACyn is 1/5 and not EXR’d, probably won’t work

[karmic briar]

Are you willing to have a walk with her to the fridge and feed her a cake?

[cobalt furnace]

Not right before anni

I’ve made too many big spends lately

But anyway, do y’all think it’d be a good idea to buy the Gradual Healing from shop?

I am planning on using NCRosa throughout the whole thing

[tame forge]

Oh come on

Must you do this to me on area 1

Not even taking me out for dinner first

[languid widget]

Does it just apply Gradual Healing at the start of every match? Because if so that seems a bit... underwhelming

[cobalt furnace]

Yes, but Rosa has no other way of sustaining herself

[wary kayak]

It does. It could be meaningful if one of your members is going to have to sit through the entire rally

[languid widget]

Potion MPRs

[cobalt furnace]

(She’s 1/5)

[languid widget]

Oh wait 1/5

I forgor

It might be worth it then? Unless you want to rotate tanks out or have your rotating pair use potions

[wary kayak]

Healthy Healing does not work either, because it only triggers if the pair is already at 100% on entry. Can't use it to patch up scratch damage from the previous round

[languid widget]

gonna sweep through normal difficulty with hh

[cobalt furnace]

Is this worth continuing with? This took over 10 attempts and I’ve concluded that it’s not possible to do this without taking a sync

I could take the healing treat

[languid widget]

After 10 attempts I'd probably just take it, but oof

You'll need to use a potion on Rosa immediately next battle

[tame forge]

I still haven't seen a bonus stage

Lowest amount of points I ever spent tho

[simple frost]

dayum. 11k D:

2.4k lucky stage

[tame forge]

Yeah insane

[viral loom]

Terrible luck this BR, never got a sale, nor even a good buff, started with bug, and everything spent on permanent mediocre buffs and one-timers.
Also had to do hard stage 10 for the first time to keep role bonus (since VH was Palmer and jeez I didn't even know that he straight up ignores Vigilance ) and gotta say, the difference between VH and hard is abysmal, hard is literally Apple Cup.
Still, new record, so getting better in planning, hope for >9k next month with better luck (and maybe seeing the LUCKY stage for the first time )

[hasty marlin]

Same boost as me. I replaced with alola in shop one though.

[kind cedar]

what the hell, well this is unlucky, +fighting type starting bonus

[severe bronze]

cursed

[worthy tusk]

Time for a red rat clear.

[simple frost]

Smells like a Mix Red clear 😄

[kind cedar]

yeah looks like ss red + akari (for first 6 stages), gotta spread 4 fields across that lol

[severe bronze]

for the first 3 stage better to not use any field

especially if youre lacking field unit

[hasty marlin]

Sstred eats this map for breakfast.

Think I’ve had that map before

And I just had my 1/5 exr red as a staple of the team when it happened

[kind cedar]

o shit im saved, first shop has an electric upgrade so i dont have to run fighting types and just boost red the whole time lmao

[simple frost]

SST Red goes brrrrr

He should still be okay in like 5x or 6x

[timid hound]

If my Roark can bear Area 8 with 2x, I believe SSTRed with 5x or 6x will eviscerate every trainer

[dry ice]

This was so miserable that serena turned purple. Couldn't screenshot her being purple

[timid hound]

Serena turned what

[simple frost]

did you clear Palmer Hard instead? D:

[timid hound]

Area 2 and my pattern is still indeterminate

[dry ice]

she turned purple. legitimately.

[dry ice]

Barely, I had to resort to Elaine/NC Serena/SC Diantha. and I was BARELY able to beat it

TIL, Palmer sidemons ALSO have Piercing Blows

[simple frost]

that's just... not good.

[dry ice]

i wasn't even using an Apple cup

[simple frost]

I really wouldn't want to attempt Palmer without at least 4 or 5x stat boosts.

[dry ice]

dude, my upgrades were garbage too

i had trial Giver x 1 and Spatk down x3, and spdef down x1

even with that, I BARELY won

[simple frost]

Oh god.

I had Trial Giver too.

i did get Grass Move x2

[normal python]

Rival is one of the best themes to get right?

And if I had to guess, Main Character is probably the best one of them all

[simple frost]

Blue / Silver / MAYBE Wally at like lower stages.

of course MC == best ❤️

[languid widget]

Main character, Electric, and Fire come to mind

[simple frost]

unless your Master Fairs/Limited MCs are.... not in your roster or something

I'd do Electric, Grass, Fighting, Psychic

[obsidian sentinel]

Ah, things I have never gotten

[simple frost]

oh and Ice too.

NC Red just goes brrrrrrr

[languid widget]

Same

[simple frost]

get wrecked Darach :<

[plush anchor]

9k
I keep getting screwed over with bad combinations

[dry ice]

Main Character, fire, water, electric, rival, or Psychic are amazing starter upgrades

[plush anchor]

Luckily though, there was only 2 Field/Sprint stages

[hallow bolt]

Eh, it’s fine. I probably saved too many units oh well

Had the tech route

[plush anchor]

I want next Mine because based on it I will start caking everything

[simple frost]

huhu

[hallow bolt]

Saving cakes for psychic HS

[simple frost]

oh same.

i'm kinda wishing we get Mewtwo EX Role 😄

[hallow bolt]

Opportunity missed for Ash EX role

[simple frost]

if he reruns, he'll probably make things go nuts.

either Support EX Role or Tech EX Role

[heavy fjord]

MC, Rival, Champion are probably the best themes to get if you ask me

[hasty marlin]

and also a region you have alot of favs in

ie i have alot of alolan and unovan favs so those are 2 of my best themes (i also have decent kalos box but its mostly just serenas and nc calem carrying that region)

[obsidian sentinel]

I mostly seem to roll types :/ Haven't had a region for a few BRs

Water type was pretty chill, rock type less so

[crisp token]

I got Rock like twice

[tame forge]

Rolex viola time to shine

[crisp token]

First time Roark sees the light of day as a meatshield

[normal python]

No SS Diantha?

[crisp token]

She's 1/5, and the role set meant I couldn't use her all the way through

Iirc I just bought Galar and went on my merry way lol

[tame forge]

Rock is rough

[gentle maple]

Very late reply but NC leaf, SSA Cynthia, NC blue imo

Oops wait asking a person not in general 🏃‍♂️

[languid widget]

[gentle maple]

My bad

[ebon valve]

oh joy is me

[languid widget]

[ebon valve]

to use ncNate for 6 stages straight... or save him for 8-10 and get two 2x

[gentle maple]

I mean

SST red works too

[ebon valve]

[languid widget]

H Viola for the first six

[gentle maple]

But NC Nate sounds better

Probably would be an easy sweep for the first stage 6 hopefully with him

[ebon valve]

my bonus is ice-type

[gentle maple]

Time to switch it

[ebon valve]

oh shit, there's two Red double bonuses

[timid hound]

It's over

[gentle maple]

Good luck on your area 10 tho looks rough

Unless your NC blue is rolex

[ebon valve]

he is

but like my only double is nate

[gentle maple]

Now just hope it isn't palmer

Everytime I get to area 10

Honestly I would just use SST red from 1 to 6 and NC Nate from 8 to 10

[proven matrix]

spoilers, it is

[gentle maple]

7 is like

Just throw NC rosa, Paulo and SSA Cynthia

Get max bonus

[proven matrix]

prob gets asked a billion times, but i just want to confirm

so its better to do Hard with no Apple Cup instead of VH without Apple Cup for level 10 for full rewards?

[heavy fjord]

for points, yes

though if you can beat the Very Hard with an extra item bought that isnt the apple cup thatll be better than Hard mode unless your bonus is low

[proven matrix]

thats expecting too much

lol

[heavy fjord]

then yeah, hard mode

[proven matrix]

i got darach for level 10 VH and thorton for Hard

so hard it is

[gentle maple]

If this helps

500 vs 750 if all are 1.5 but 750 becomes 250 if u apple cup

[ebon valve]

ground upgrade

[proven matrix]

oh yea that helps a lot

i got lucky with MC upgrade so i steamrolled everything in this hour

[ebon valve]

The score is just mutliplied by 1+ 0.5 times the number of roles.
With a base score of 300, buying the apple cup is of course a net loss, than dropping difficulty.

[proven matrix]

i see

that makes sense tho

[ebon valve]

It's fun, but yeah expensive.

But depending on which other items are available you can sometimes make VH a joke.

Like the item that gives you every move.

It only costs 100 points.

[heavy fjord]

can also depend on which fight you get

because every time i fight lucy she just feels easier and easier

[ebon valve]

If I don't buy the secondary ground upgrade, will it possibly change to something else?

Ice was the 1st one I got, which is still in the shop.

But ground showed up this round

[heavy fjord]

yeah the extra upgrades will change if you dont buy them

once you buy them, theyll continue to show up

[gentle maple]

Really now

I thought it stops changing after area 2

[heavy fjord]

nah it definitely doesnt stop

[gentle maple]

It's ok sages will let us know

[ebon valve]

it's a kalos upgrade now

[gentle maple]

Oh nice

Salvaged

[heavy fjord]

that seems significantly more helpful

[gentle maple]

Ground and ice are like just slightly above trial giver, poison and bug

[stray ravine]

I also got an 8x Field set with ice upgrade at the start and can confirm it sucks very much

[gentle maple]

[stray ravine]

hated this run lol

[heavy fjord]

oof

[stray ravine]

and I got Lucy at the end, that battle is annoying

thankfully NC Leaf saved my life

[ebon valve]

I mean, I do have a lot of ice pairs. Just not field 🫠

[crisp token]

Wulfric gaming

[quaint star]

Funny is that someone managed to make him a dps in a 3k stage. Of course, with two strong supports

[ebon valve]

me with Crasher Wake.

Greninja + Dojo Gloria enabling that nuke. :3

[tame forge]

[ebon valve]

damn, I want to use Roxanne here, but it's only R4. when I could use her for lucy

oh it's ncRosa's stage

[simple frost]

stage 5 or somethin? o.o

[austere cipher]

bro same run lemao. I haven't played it yet but sst goes hard on this XD

[timid hound]

Crit Power Up truly is the best bang for your buck

[urban ledge]

I’ve never seen it spawn lol

[timid hound]

Relatable

It's not a guaranteed shop spawn naturally, but feels so good when it does

And if it's discounted?

[eternal nebula]

Can group 2 items upgrade every stage?

[timid hound]

My UB is Thorton

Does Piercing Blows invalidate his gimmick?

[ebon valve]

no, all the UB passives affect defense stats directly

[ebon valve]

B,C,D items stack and are continous. No idea what group 2 is

[timid hound]

Hm

Well my role bonus is Sprint/Field anyways

Time to break out the big guns

[eternal nebula]

Oh it’s cause serebii has the battle rally page and listed items as groups

So for instance, crit power boost is in group 2, according to serebii

[eternal nebula]

I am dumb, so in other words, piercing blows work vs UB?

[cobalt furnace]

Not for the ones that boost defences directly(Thorton, Darach)
But it would work against Anabel

[timid hound]

Ah yes, double freeze

My favorite

Maybe I should bring a special attacker than SSACyn

[timid hound]

Yeah SSGladion + SSTRed trivializes Thorton

[rapid notch]

When could a beginner account do battle rally without suffering

Have like 20 pairs levelled on alt

[wary kayak]

Spam Normal and Hard, spend more freely on items

Remember that level-up growths plummet to near-flatline after Lv100 so you can get multiple pairs to 100 for the same number of books that would get one pair to 140

Gridding is a bigger issue but hopefully you can cover it by just getting more stat/damage multis

...We very often go for damage multis in the grid anyway

It only takes a few days' worth of skip tickets and dailies to get three pairs to 100 from raw EXP yield

[pseudo egret]

Uhhh my freebie was villain. Uh. Should I...buy this?

[leaden wraith]

i would wait for better theme skill in next rounds

[pseudo egret]

Also, throw Riley to the wolves on stage 2?

[leaden wraith]

yes if he is your only Sprint

the combo repeats on Arena 6 too

[pseudo egret]

6 and 7 is solvable with nc Rosa and SSA Cynthia

Just unsure if 1/5 exless Riley wouldn't become deadweight by then

[leaden wraith]

its an early round, shouldnt be that bad

i used my 1/5 Riley with BP Sophocles and Alder tanking in my latest run

[pseudo egret]

So you're telling me to sack my riley on 6 and 7 instead?

[leaden wraith]

ah no i meant you should use Riley in early rounds

[wary kayak]

You could. Riley can still provide teamwide Speed and either Atk or Def without using MP

[leaden wraith]

if you had more Sprint pairs, using both SSA Cynthia and NC Rosa on round 7 gives more points

[wary kayak]

(Dashing Team 9 and Max Moves)

[leaden wraith]

also, your Arena 10's roles are not too good, unless you have a support with Strike/Field EXR

[timid hound]

You'll be hard pressed to find a strike pair that can tank Area 10 without

Or a crapton of boosts

[urban ledge]

Ah I see I’m not alone with my Field infested course for battle rally haha

[timid hound]

I had Sprint + Field for Area 10

The accursed Set 4

[crisp token]

It's literally the most common combo, tied with Tech+Support

#1009564564821639379 message

It's not just a meme

DeNA wants us to suffer

[timid hound]

Time to write a very strong worded letter to Sasaki-sama

[crisp token]

"It's time for you to Sprint into a Field"

[timid hound]

Scandalous

[quaint star]

This should be easy

[timid hound]

TATE STONKS

You've basically won

Palmer watch out

[muted sparrow]

Idk if i can do this

[timid hound]

Do you have NCHop

Oh wait he's tech

[karmic briar]

Bea?

Rolex rei? Mmmh

[timid hound]

Bea + support ex should be fine

[muted sparrow]

I already used him

[simple frost]

Uh, Hard will probably easier.

[timid hound]

That's a very blessed role bonus for A10

[simple frost]

just slap Antitoxin on everyone.

[muted sparrow]

Yes, but i got 2 Field/Sprint before that

And Flying has 0 Field/Sprint pair

[karmic briar]

You should go to hard, and slap another striker + supp instead of ncmarnie if you have it

[timid hound]

No SSACyn?

[muted sparrow]

No

Already used her at area 1

[simple frost]

I'd rather just splat antitoxin on everyone you've got, and just aim for Hard VS Lucy 😮

[timid hound]

You probably shouldn't sink meta pairs like SSACyn that early

If you can help it ofc

[simple frost]

You don't have buffs for VH Palmer tbh.

[timid hound]

What's the rightmost buff?

Debuff Power Up?

[simple frost]

Opp Stat Debuffs iirc

[timid hound]

I mean NCBlue has got that covered no?

[simple frost]

oh yeah. OppStat Debuffs

[muted sparrow]

Yeah, but the point

[simple frost]

I mean

you CAN try.

[muted sparrow]

Maybe not 10k this time

[timid hound]

NCBlue + Bea + 1 more fighting pair

Wally or smth idk

[simple frost]

but Hard against Lucy is probably better.

[muted sparrow]

I cant, flying upgrade

[timid hound]

Oh true

Joever

Time to fight hot mommy Lucy

[muted sparrow]

How much Hard give me

[timid hound]

200 base

[simple frost]

4x

If you've got Zerena

5x

[muted sparrow]

No, 4x is already max

[simple frost]

Hard will give you 600 if you clear with your current team

[muted sparrow]

No 10k this time

[timid hound]

Pensive

[simple frost]

for VH, its 900 clear, but you're gonna have to buy something. Might as well do Hard.

all you really need is antitoxin

(Can't wait for Lucky Skill Slot for this hehe)

NY Lisia is extremely good for Lucy

[muted sparrow]

[timid hound]

So real

[karmic briar]

10K congrats!! I still have to get there

[muted sparrow]

Ty

Exactly 10k

[karmic briar]

Did you buy something else to do it?

[timid hound]

What's your take home points?

[muted sparrow]

1 more Flying Upgrade and 1 more dmg boost when enemy got debuff

So i got 750 pts

[gentle maple]

Flinch hax?

Didn't think palmer was possible without rei or chop

[muted sparrow]

He cant be flinch

[timid hound]

Palmer is DPS check

You must've won every 50-50 on SSEthan TM to reach almost 4th sync before Palmer got sync with minimum 1 turn steal on side I wager

Nice

[plush anchor]

This set is disgusting

[lost cliff]

at least it looks aesthetically pleasing

wait no i lied i thought it was field sprint it was field tech

this calls for akari gaming

[simple frost]

Akari Gaming o/

is she at 3/5 though?

[lost cliff]

yup

[simple frost]

Nice

[ebon valve]

so many people getting 8x field we sure it's random

[simple frost]

i basically got Sprint and Field .-.;

[crisp token]

They're having a

Field day

[elfin tendon]

worked with dragon bonus, pretty insane to get even over 8k since i had to miss points on stage 5/10

[gentle maple]

People that consistently get 10k or close to it without lucky area... How many rolex do u guys have, just curious

[stark dawn]

Arch has 14 lol

[viral loom]

I have 12, but closest I've been for now is 8750

[nimble holly]

I have 32 rolex🤣

And 4 units wat can be some day🤣or never

But some units dont have ex role wat dena want in rally so nothing will help you any way

[gentle maple]

That explains

I thought it must be 20 minimum to consistently 10k

Also 32 is twice of mine

[outer jasper]

How does one even obtain 32 cakes

[gentle maple]

Paid gems pulls

[outer jasper]

Ah

These are the 10 I got

[leaden wraith]

i think i have 11

[nimble holly]

Pay master banners and 5/5 pokefair pulls rest from exchange voucher daily rotation and last one cake for falkner from rally

[gentle maple]

16 I got

Roxanne was so worth ngl

That sync nuke

[west abyss]

I think I can get around 12k+ with a very perfect run

And a lucky stage

[leaden wraith]

stop being insane

[ebon valve]

32? Can you even get that many without having pulled PFs to 5/5?a

[west abyss]

gotta put those Rolex to work

[outer jasper]

Ong

[nimble holly]

I have all pokefair rolex since all 5/5

But prob you may need 3-4 copy and rest can grab from exchange

[ebon valve]

[nimble holly]

Now rally give easy cake

And in 2-3 months way more will have more rolex

[outer jasper]

Yeah with battle rally you can easily get like 2-3 a month

[gentle maple]

So in a year almost everyone will be getting 10k as average

[nimble holly]

Depend on stage

Sprint field

Still suks

[gentle maple]

High ends will be 12k or something

[nimble holly]

Tech field and some others

[gentle maple]

Dena giving tech rolex to supports

Only exception imo is elaine

[outer jasper]

Elaine and NC Calem are good for LG

Other support tech not so much

[nimble holly]

I got 10 stage sup tech

[gentle maple]

Nah I'm not giving tech cake to NC calem

Does he even nuke

[nimble holly]

No nuke

[outer jasper]

No nuke

[ebon valve]

well you mean for UB right? they didn't need tech role to solo LG before anyways

[outer jasper]

Calem doesn’t need it but I suck at LG

[gentle maple]

Even strike cake on NC blue is a bit of stretch before rally

[ebon valve]

tech buffs their bulk for those tougher battles

[gentle maple]

People who strike cake NC blue were mainly for hse back then

[ebon valve]

AoE rebuff is pretty big reason.

[gentle maple]

Yeah but it's very specific

[ebon valve]

HSE & all Extreme battles / UBs benefit

[gentle maple]

It's something the rats couldn't very quickly take down

[ebon valve]

also Blue's damage is also good, so the strike helps with both dps and his sync

[gentle maple]

But now it's a good reason because strike field area 10 rally exist

[ebon valve]

Well he's better than any other support for the strike cake.

[tame forge]

That's just cause strike and tech cake on supports suck

[outer jasper]

Penny also gets aoe rebuff with cake but she needs 5/5 for it

[gentle maple]

That and NC blue is just too good, there's only benefits to him gaining another role now that rally is a thing

[tame forge]

True but I'd rather use cake tickets on pairs that get better benefits from it like all the support cakes

That said faves still over meta ig

I used cake on viola of all units

[gentle maple]

SS steven tech support soon too

[outer jasper]

Crazy how SS Steven is going to get all base roles

[gentle maple]

Getting hoenn or psychic as bonus will become way easier with him rolex soon

Can dps/nuke, tank with recovery and a bit of offensive buff, can sync accel

[tame forge]

Jack of all trades master of all

[ebon valve]

~~that's why Oak & Mew should get Expanded Sync, Sync Type Shift, Fortitutous 9 x2, Rising Tide and ~~

[gentle maple]

True

[wary kayak]

Wonder if the next story arc will be a series of regional events that add rolexes to the Legendary Adventures pairs, much like how the Villain Arc gave them grid expansions/Mega and EX

Because since Sycamore's sync does no damage, his only meaningful choices for rolex would be Sprint or Field, both of which would be a big help in the Rally

[gentle maple]

Watch Dena give sycamore strike Rolex

[ebon valve]

that reminds me that ssDawn's Rolex would also be one of those two.

[elfin tendon]

NAH WHAT

bro has 3 times my rolexes 😭

[ebon valve]

my area 4 is strike tech, which is good because I got Roxanne and Palmer rolexed.
But it's ncRosa's event stage that needs rebuff. 🫠

[wary kayak]

Everybody has Rolexes but nobody has Swatches, I see how it is

[elfin tendon]

I have a Swatchog, does that count

[gentle maple]

Would be so hyped if she gets sprint ngl

She can accel 2 sync cycles just by herself

Big boost

[ebon valve]

field might be better for role compression. But I just noticed she has nothing like premoniton in grid

[gentle maple]

I think sprint is slightly better

But we will see how dena handles it

Probably won't be either

[wary kayak]

...For a moment I thought that was the Team Unova battle from the PML arc

[karmic briar]

Day1 player still have PTSD from that emboar and his rock slides

[wary kayak]

I made it through with a few tries, with the team's levels in the 60s. Don't remember the exact team though

[half bone]

anyone up for helping me plan things out for this lineup now that I have Riley and another EX cake?

Well, EX Sprint cake. Can give it to either SS Gladion or Chase.

That gives me 5 total Sprint (Those two plus Rei, Aura Cynth, and NC Rosa) and 3 total Field (Akari, Victor, and Redchu)

And I'd like to save Redchu in particular for as long as possible.

[tame forge]

Oh hey you got the same set as me this week

I know I used Cynthia and rei combo, start using her from area 5 and him from area 6

They do wonders together

[half bone]

So, try to use both Cynthia and Rei for 6 and 7, then? Maybe have Cyntia in there starting from 5 or even 4?

gonna try and put it off as long as possible to see how far I can get Riley.

Oh yeah, starting boost is... Rock Boost.

again.

And the boosts on offer right now are Ice and Fighting.

Not sure if either are workable, sadly.

[tame forge]

Yeah you can use cynthia from 4 and forward she's great

I know I used leaf for 8-9-10 but you can do serena too

Frog serena

Yikes rock boost

[hasty marlin]

Well there’s two that ss gladion could give a big boost in (2 and 7). If either of those end up being lucky area then I’d exr gladion if you don’t have at least three of that combo yet personally

Exr matching imo matters the most when you find lucky stages since instead of +150 it’s +300 per role

[tame forge]

Feeding cake to get some 5* power ups is a steep investment

[wary kayak]

Maybe so, but we do get about two-and-a-half cakes per month (~30 scattered coins and 24 vouchers) so the cake(s) might otherwise just be burning a hole in the pocket

[tame forge]

Oh yeah I've caked quite a few more units than usual now that we get a bigger supply of them

Just saying in general not worth the extra power ups

Especially since half anni batch dropping soon

They'll probably be cracked

[wary kayak]

Waiting with gradually-building anxiety for the datamine so I can decide which one(s) to pull for; if there's more than one other Master coming up, I may not be able to get them all this time

[tame forge]

If gladion was our bait I have high hopes

[fathom yacht]

Oh boy you got one of the Sprint Fields, get fucked

Both of the lineups that start with Area 1 Sprint field are trash

[half bone]

At the very least, I have stuff like Aura Cynth and Rei.

So I can power through to some extent.

[fathom yacht]

I might go through all of the possibilities, see how many there are, and possibly even rank them

Might be useful

[quiet apex]

Not my highest but I’m happy considering a lot of fields and having to do Easy on Level 10

[tame forge]

Nice 0 points spent

[timid hound]

I wonder if you can clear an A10 UB without spending anything

[severe bronze]

you can if you get darach and get the right inital boost

i dont really save op units anymore, when i see bonus i just ditch them immediately

[timid hound]

I feel like if you get Lucy with good role bonus you should be able to as well

Her damage is pretty pants if she has no speed and you're not poisoned

[quiet apex]

Yeah I try to spend little to none if possible.

[severe bronze]

havent gotten lucy so dont know how its like

ive been blessed with darach for two weeks

[timid hound]

I think I've gotten everyone at least once...

Hm, yeah I think so

Argenta Palmer Thorton Lucy Darach

[severe bronze]

got palmer twice on the first five tickets

actually i havent met argentina either

[timid hound]

I don't remember much which means that it must not be that bad !

[tame forge]

The ultra hard ub is exactly the same as the actual ub right?

Or is it harder

[severe bronze]

2x the stats

except for hp

[tame forge]

Ah I see

All of them should be possible then with initial boost

[timid hound]

Wait 2x the stats?

[tame forge]

[timid hound]

[tame forge]

Just depends on what you get

[severe bronze]

so if you use the initial boost its like facing ultimate battle

[timid hound]

I did not know about 2x the stats lol

[tame forge]

If you get water boost and you somehow get anabel then it should be the same

[severe bronze]

but if you dont its fighting against 2x stat ultimate battle

[timid hound]

Thought it was 1 for 1

[severe bronze]

yeah

[simple frost]

The UBs have +100% Stat Boost for Very Hard.

[timid hound]

Yabai

[simple frost]

So its basically a normal UB run if you have a theme'd unit in your roster that gives everyone in your party +100% Stat Boost

If you do not have a theme'd unit in your party, Good. Luck. 😮

[timid hound]

Last week I went into Anabel without a boost

[severe bronze]

well yeah but dropping some of the op units for points made it harder

[timid hound]

Her Eruption one shot May and nearly one shot SSTRed

[severe bronze]

im not saving sstr when i see tech/field combo on stage 6

gimme points

[timid hound]

Then someone pointed out I wasn't using Boost, so it's daijoubu

I have a priority list of who to throw on early sprint field areas

And unfortunately Riley is one of them

[severe bronze]

found the pjsk player

my riley is useless hes still 1/5

[timid hound]

Probably okay as fodder early on

Just for role bonus

[severe bronze]

hes not that useless actually

got that sstr max countdown passive

[timid hound]

Yeah I think so too

Just kinda pants that his move options are either CC that'll debuff his defenses and Iron Miss

[severe bronze]

[iron vector]

Is it better to go for kalos region upgrade or rival upgrade?

[obsidian sentinel]

How many do you have of each?

Rival is probably better overall

[iron vector]

11 units with grid for kalos and 8 from rival (but more ex than kalos)

[obsidian sentinel]

Could work with either, you don't need them for the first 3-4 stages

[iron vector]

Ok, thks

[obsidian sentinel]

But like, do buy them lol so you have the buff for later stages

[hasty marlin]

What… stage is this…?

Electric lowering spatk…?

[languid widget]

Iono

[hasty marlin]

Are zerena and lussamine gonna be able to clear it on Friday…?

Using them for strike support stage

Rosa is just filler support slot I can use whatever there

[hybrid abyss]

Or you could just use Plumeria for gauge

[hasty marlin]

If plumeria is the third on that team who would be the tank?

And I assume from paralyze icon that a status effect is needed on iono stage

[dense latch]

Anyome else kinda getting bored with BR already lol. Feels like you just end up using the same units. Rosa. Cynthia. Victor. Mix Red. Sst Red. And then you have nc leaf and then occasionally nc Red 😂

[fathom yacht]

Not really

[hasty marlin]
