Battle Rally

[hasty marlin]

i only use calems postsync

cause its cerenas 2 syncs that matter for rain

[leaden wraith]

i havent caught up, what boosts do you have?

[hasty marlin]

3x alola 1x bug

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009564564821639379/1210493798640132106/IMG_3451.png?ex=65eac333&is=65d84e33&hm=388245b6d2e076ec45740275bffe0a6621670ea5363d5d353389a3025b55ad3e&

with this shop

ive been ignoring the bug starter

cuz my bug roster is bleh

barring gilbert

[leaden wraith]

is that infinite Ground Zone

[hasty marlin]

yeah but it costs more than dropping difficulty i think

which would be lucy on hard

150s max i can spend before diff drop is always better

i think

[leaden wraith]

assuming you use triple supports (Cerena included)

[hasty marlin]

yea, supp/field

so uh

awkward when i alr spent fields

i was hoping for anything but darach vh with this map

[simple frost]

750 points for VH - They buy 250 for 500 Pts.
500 Points for H with what they've got without buying anything.

[hasty marlin]

so if im buying more than 1 100p item i might as well diff drop

[simple frost]

oh 500 raather.

up to you if you think you can beat the stage with infinite field effects o_o

[hasty marlin]

id prob be able to spendless do lucy so its 100p or nothing

[ionic sigil]

If you got Ghost Zone early on, would it be enough to win with that extra bit of damage?

[simple frost]

that would require resetting to get it early ;o

[leaden wraith]

resetting for 5% is not worth it imo

[hasty marlin]

I think that’d just make me hit the hp endure on sync instead of a move after sync, if that

Not enough difference I don’t think

Unlikely to even hit it early from it

I try record attempt see if phone lag or not

[ionic sigil]

Would another Alola boost be enough?

[leaden wraith]

so it sounds like doing hard gives more 100 points than doing VH with infinite Ground Zone

[leaden wraith]

no, the problem still remains

[ionic sigil]

It sounds like he got close with the current setup

But idk

[hasty marlin]

Got close that try

Left talon flame was on 30%, the rain ran out after right died

Iirc

File too big. Uploading to yt

Lmao seconds remain 1, 2, 4… YouTube counting up

I took this ss while I wait

Sadly doesn’t show it’s hp

But I was 2 turn from sync I think and it had resilience so couldn’t flinch again

9 sync buff

When I died

https://youtu.be/z_oc5wBbjJs?si=l8VbvL_5VAz896V7 dunno if it’s buffering or viewable

Alr turned pc off easier to check on pc

[simple frost]

oh wow its really close

[leaden wraith]

can try buying more Alola boost to see

[simple frost]

but the last mob doesnt have rebuff hmm.

[hasty marlin]

Yea cause cerena can only st rebuff

[hasty marlin]

Problem is once I buy I’m locked into buying lol

[simple frost]

hmm

do you still have Zerena?

[hasty marlin]

No she got used in strike supp team

Cerena the only supp or field exr remaining

[simple frost]

can you show us whose already used?

[hasty marlin]

Yea lemme reopen app one more time

[leaden wraith]

i dont see why Zerena is better

[hasty marlin]

Anyone that had a double bonus other than cerena this clear got used lol

Cause I was aiming for big score yolo

[ionic sigil]

I mean that’s the way to do it

[leaden wraith]

probably need more flinch luch, or give Vigilance to Cerena

i would still recommend buying one more boost

[hasty marlin]

My cookie situation rn too. Most units are already lucky skilled tho

Do you guys want just bonus used ones?

If so

Having cerena in back pocket is only reason why I used ncblue early

Cause I knew I still had anabel answer

[ionic sigil]

Dang, SS Lusamine would’ve been really nice here

[hasty marlin]

I saw strike supp stage and my brain said 4.0x stage go brr

[ionic sigil]

For the better still but yeah

[hasty marlin]

I prob need to keep sstred open next time supp field happens to me

That or Wallace

Def learned my lesson

[simple frost]

Ooof your candy situation is kinda bad o_o;

Lucky Skill Slot when?

[ionic sigil]

I mean if you have better boosts early on, taking on Hard instead at the end doesn’t matter too much

[simple frost]

i guess you'd consider grabbing the Zone though.

[ionic sigil]

I keep getting combos that I don’t have caked of course

[simple frost]

But yeah, considering how close you are, stat boost should suffice

[hasty marlin]

I have a supp cake but datamine basically guaranteed after weekly reset prob

I mean

Supp candy

Got mixed up on names

Plus I’m still leaning toward ssac instead of calem

[leaden wraith]

Vigilance on Cerena matters more

2/5 Calem only helps with his self sustain

[hasty marlin]

Wanting to reach for ssac having crit buffs in future

Cause will help possible Riley teams

[simple frost]

the sync countdown item though. Could work as well.

[hasty marlin]

Just gave cerena vigilance. Gonna give one more try tn

I also did notice calem tanking works better

Which feels odd considering Lillie’s gimmick lmao

[simple frost]

Oh its kinda bad huh.

[hasty marlin]

Shhdhehejs LILLIE GHOST ZONE LILLIE GHOST ZONE

[simple frost]

-3 on entry? -3 after sync? Man these things could be more tactful 😭

[hasty marlin]

That didn’t add much damage lol

Mid rng on flinches

This is possible tho

[leaden wraith]

have you bought anything?

[hasty marlin]

This the one in shop

Not yet

I think I can beat it if I get better flinched. I got almost no flinch till mid was dead despite aggrav1 astonish

I sleep now and do more attempts tomorrow

Gn guys thanks for trying to help

Worst case I buy this or the alola boost to top off the clear

[leaden wraith]

given how close you are, one Alola boost is enough

gn

[timid hound]

Is your sanity worth 100 medals?

[ebon valve]

[simple frost]

Half Cake?

surprissingly still alive for Anni Steven

who did you fight though?

[ebon valve]

[simple frost]

Ou~

[ebon valve]

It was with 1x champion bonus. My other bonus was ice.

[simple frost]

can't wait for Anni Steven Support Cake for this heh

[stiff flume]

Is this one of those situations where VH is just a waste of points?

[wary kayak]

Depends how many boosts you already bought I guess

[stiff flume]

Psychic x2

[wary kayak]

Then I think I would agree that it may well be more profitable to downgrade

[stiff flume]

Never expected such situation, I mean I got the units for it but Anabel is too specific for a profitable sprint+field

[urban ledge]

I expect this all the damn time lol

[simple frost]

whose your Hard ? 😮

[stiff flume]

Darach

[simple frost]

achieveable

[stiff flume]

Yea, got it covered with ssaC n Rei

And riley

[ebon valve]

what rally 100pt item is in the shop?

[stiff flume]

Nothing useful

[ebon valve]

lollipop was free move right?

[stiff flume]

Or at least that can be profitsble

[stiff flume]

Yep

[ebon valve]

yeah bad selection

Why can't mPizza be in stage 10.

[stoic cairn]

wow thats like the worst combo

[tepid cedar]

what

cool ig

[nocturne pawn]

Yeah, it’s a rare special stage that gives more rewards

[crisp token]

Shove your caked Rei and Riley there for max profit

[tepid cedar]

i unfortunately do not have rei

[karmic briar]

It’s time for caked Ss gladion to shine

[gentle maple]

That's a lot of boost I'm seeing arrows up there

[stiff flume]

Ye, I was trying to figure something but the only profitable solution looks to be :
VGiovanni Paulo ncRosa
but not sure of the amount of theme powerups you need

There are no other sprint/field units able to remove sun
ssaCynthia is fire weak
Chase is ground weak
Hope ssKris gets either Field or Sprint

[quaint star]

Sprint + Field versus Anabel. I had to chose lower difficulty

Give us a Field Rain setter that debuffs, DeNA

[wary kayak]

You're in good company, someone else had that exact situation earlier today

[hybrid abyss]

and this is why I'm a bit jealous of this server's LG streaks

[ivory drum]

FIELD SPRINT MURDER ME NOW

[tame forge]

Okay

[ivory drum]

dies

[tame forge]

Time to use give some rolex

[wary kayak]

Someone added up each role combo's prevalence among all the possible patterns and IIRC that combo was either second-most common or tied for first-most

Assuming every pattern has an equal spawn chance, though I feel like that's a reasonable assumption to use for it

[tame forge]

They better change the sets to have support tech as most common combination

My boy SSSteven coming in hot

[ivory drum]

This is why I was procrastinating doing the battle rally

[tame forge]

Rally is so much fun I've been doing all of them on Monday

[ivory drum]

I lost grushaaa

Drasna poisoned him and lowered his health

Oh that’s a stage made for neo Rosa

Do we have units that can just refresh mp that would be super nice

[tame forge]

🐀

Max move and spam b move

[normal python]

NC Bede and/or SS Ethan

[vagrant moon]

2 Unova boosts Vs Palmer
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/947140504368332850/1210649579574267914/Screen_Recording_20240223_150259_Pokmon_Masters_EX.mp4?ex=65eb5448&is=65d8df48&hm=bba22eceacc131425883fc7f930e1c1bfc4d30edfa5f275cc8eb5bedfa3d1371&

[hasty marlin]

Hey I’m back at this again. Theoretically would og Lillie or elio be better than sc here?

[vagrant moon]

no

[hasty marlin]

Barely did it

Low spend record for me and score record I think

Might barely not be a score record but still a spend record by at least 150

[pseudo egret]

9500...

[hasty marlin]

Almost 3k leftover atm I’m happy

[pseudo egret]

how many cakes do you have

I'm barely affording all the roll cake tickets

[pseudo egret]

ah yeah that makes sense

[hasty marlin]

all this without touching a single PF bonus coin scout

[pseudo egret]

I just have no fields to begin with

so I'm screwed on fieldtown

[glass patrol]

Annabel with tech field ghost boost

Sadge

[pseudo egret]

took a break between ss silver release and nc rosa

so I missed out on free spectrier

[hasty marlin]

could be worse. sstred clear

with like, weather setter + ghost tank maybe

[hasty marlin]

rip

for reference this was my map

i used every EXR pair i own on this map

only one i couldnt 2x with was cerena cause i refuse to r1 exr unless i can see final bonuses already

which tech support doesn't allow

would have to be support tech to do it

and even on that map id rather do it on a5 incase Lucky

[pseudo egret]

yeah tbh that

is true

half the worry is throwing your ex role early

and then halfway through find out

that there's a lucky stage

and you spent your double ex roles

[hasty marlin]

thats why you always save the exr for the latest stage that has their doubleup

[pseudo egret]

that's what I do too

I do sometimes throw too cheap pairs early

and then my ex limited techs don't get used LMAO

[hasty marlin]

haha

i usually use at least 1 non-cake per round, got a lot of ex people

[pseudo egret]

my irida watching me try and deal with acerola with a non EX may:

[hasty marlin]

if they dont have an EXR and dont answer UB while matching R10, theyre expendable in my book

no matter who it is

cause i dont think ill find anyone but palmer fully putting the brakes on me full onroll
and uh, maybe anabel if its field/sprint till i candy red

waiting for anni datamine to pick between gloralt and red

[ivory drum]

Another field/sprint on 9

SIGHH

Oh look at that it was made for Roxie/peirs

SIGHH

I don’t know how I am gonna beat this

[tame forge]

Rules don't really matter if you bought a good number of boosts

[quaint star]

I hope they fix rally so that you have one roles over two concurrent stages. For example,
Stage 1 : +
Stage 2 : +
Stage 3 : +

[lost cliff]

There is a lineup that is like that

Field + Sprint as start

[quaint star]

I would prefer these kind of lineup more

Instead of "Oh, those two roles are useless next area. Go nuts"

[wary kayak]

When the killshot is Sophocles' Last Word

Sopho can't even benefit from my dmg multi (Have SpAtk Buff) but Explosion in his hands is just that good

Alright, stage 10 is Thorton, with Support and Sprint bonuses. I think I'd like to use this as an "excuse" to spend a cake (because I'd never get around to using them otherwise)...
I heard Neo Leaf works great against him. Zerena has mixed attacks and Restrain to deal with him. Leon technically has mixed attacks and can count on Neo Rosa (already caked and in the team) to provide Confusion via Teeter Dance

[simple frost]

last world 😮

any buffs?

[wary kayak]

Kahili's sync dropped both him and Candice to 0 HP bu--

[wary kayak]

Shit, right, I need a Hoenn pair for my stat-up

Maaaaybe I'll pick a cake another time then

[simple frost]

how big is your buff then?

3 or something?

[wary kayak]

Thank you for bringing that up. This could've sucked

I had some really rough stages in the middle

Ground was the freebie

But eff Ground

[simple frost]

got any supports from hoenn that can tank a bit?

[wary kayak]

Maybe. Let me see who's left, since I had to use some already

Hoennese Supports

[simple frost]

what's the move level for NC Leaf? o.o

[wary kayak]

1/5 I think. Lemme check

Yeah, 1/5

[simple frost]

and 1/5 for NC Rosa as well?

[wary kayak]

Checked and that's correct

[simple frost]

NC Rosa is caked then?

[wary kayak]

She is

I might need to sacrifice a role bonus for this... 🤔

[leaden wraith]

You can consider caking Leaf

Caked NC Leaf + caked NC Serena + Drake should easily destroy Thorton

Any support can replace caked Serena

[wary kayak]

Neo Rosa then, for double role bonus

[simple frost]

Caked Serena + NC Rosa + Drake? i mean Serena can change her sync nuke-type

[leaden wraith]

Oh you have caked Rosa, thats better

[wary kayak]

I meant Neo Leaf + Neo Rosa + Drake but this is an angle I hadn't considered.

[leaden wraith]

Serena covers all Thorton's gimmicks

[simple frost]

What's NC Serena's move level? just 1 as well?

[wary kayak]

I've just caked Leaf so I'll try that first. I have plenty of coins/dailytickets/vouchers to get another though

[wary kayak]

Checking

Yes, 1/5

[simple frost]

I'd try it o/

With NC Leaf

see how far you can go and whatnot.

[wary kayak]

Alright, then! Away we go!

[simple frost]

Thorton should probably still take damage from stacked sync buffs in case you trigger his DEF/SPDEF switch.

[wary kayak]

Neo Leaf's first sync was juuuust short of bringing him to the switch point. Her second brought him the rest of the way there, and then one (1) Flare Blitz launched him into orbit. Neo Rosa ended up stealing the killshot on the last survivor

It was an awkward role pattern but at least I'm still above the "buy every cake coin voucher" average threshold

Thanks, everyone

...Gods damn it

[gentle maple]

[simple frost]

Cool.

[quaint star]

Right, everyone needs to be reminded that next week lasts 4 days since the shop will be refreshed with a new month

[tough spear]

How many bonus is enough? (I noticed that I've been spending 100 points for bonus & ended up not able to get 20 cake ticket this month :skull)

[pseudo egret]

Most people can do VH last stage with 3x 100 pts buff and 2-3x 50 pts buff

[karmic briar]

Keep in mind for area 10, 1 bonus means you are doing the UB at the standard difficulty we face outside rally

[tough spear]

Forgot to mention, +300 points for MP Refresh 💀

[pseudo egret]

...MPizza is only 100

[karmic briar]

It’s up to your roaster and the luck you get with stages/bonuses, but you start to be fine with 2-3 bonuses

I’d say 3 if the free one sucks btw

[pseudo egret]

The MP Refresh item costs 300 yeah

It's very expensive

Recommend MPizza instead

Or RNG-ing for TM MPR

[tough spear]

Aight thanks

[pseudo egret]

A better way

Is to just discard pairs

After you're finished using it

Or not using TMs on early stages if you're going to keep the pair

[tough spear]

Good to know

[pseudo egret]

300 points could have been an extra +300% to all your stats

Or +600% damage

It's horribly wasteful

[leaden wraith]

For me i always buy 2 upgrades at most, and buy an item that can help vs UB, so usually i only spend 100 - 300 pts

[pseudo egret]

To use it on the MPR item (its not even close to MPizza)

[tough spear]

I've done my BR this week so I can't see the shop but is MPizza permanent or for next battle only?

[pseudo egret]

next battle only, so you can buy it for VH

[tough spear]

[pseudo egret]

it continuously refreshes all your MPs btw

even those 0/2 TMs when you click attack moves

[tough spear]

I see

[leaden wraith]

Its not guaranteed to appear in A10 tho

[crisp token]

If you have a developed enough roster you can do Floor 1-9 with no purchases, so purchases only really matter for the last floor, which means saving for a powerful one use item at the end gives you more bang for your buck

[leaden wraith]

But there are other helpful items too, like Guard Chocolat or Ultra Jelly

[pseudo egret]

Yep

Don't focus tunnel only on MPizza haha

[crisp token]

I like Ultra Jelly, just plain and simple raw power

[tough spear]

So, only buy like 3x 100 pts buff, 2x 50 pts buff & 1 per run+Discard Sync Pairs with 0 MPs. Got it

[crisp token]

No need Apple Cup, it's a meme

[tough spear]

Aight then

[crisp token]

It's not worth the points unless you wanna just go ham

Way too expensive

[pseudo egret]

For context, Hard folds with even +200% stats and +100% damage

Doing hard with three roles nets you like...500

Doing VH is 750 with three roles, - 500 (addition of apple cup)= 250

You're losing 250 points for no reason haha

[tough spear]

Is it assuming having 2x+1.5x per team?

[pseudo egret]

Hard is usually so easy that you can do 1.5x (x3)

[pseudo egret]

Most of the time you can run 1.5x (x3), especially in early stages

[tough spear]

So just do Hard for more points(?)

[pseudo egret]

if you are on stage 10, and you really, really can't beat VH without apple cup

But in reality even an ultra jelly or an MPizza will help with VH

[tough spear]

Aight then

[hasty marlin]

The threshold for hard vs very hard is if you have to spend more than 100 points in final shop btw to be strong enough with full on role I think

Just for future reference

Ofc always try the final battle without since there’s no penalty atp

For reference this was 300% alola with supp field r3 and I still managed to beat Darach without any more spent despite no field pair /mpr or any extension left in roles

Varies by box how low you can go on spending and how many strong units you can ditch for points

Always use the pomatools rally map thing cause that lets you plan for future stage role bonuses without spending 300 on binoculars

You get full map by area 3 at latest

Most of time by area 2

[sudden heron]

Almost 8k

[drifting mason]

U got a lot of sprint and field?

[sudden heron]

5 units

[tough spear]

I see

[obsidian sentinel]

Sigh hopefully they don't spring a new busy event on us

[hasty marlin]

I doubt we’d get much more than anniversary event before the monthly reset tbh

There’s barely gonna be time between datamine and month ending

[obsidian sentinel]

I still have to finish this week's BR!

[quaint star]

24k for the cake vouchers. I think you need 40k to cover

[tough spear]

Good to know ☠️

[gilded remnant]

Stage 10 is always randomly selected?

Or am i reading the pins wrong

[hasty marlin]

yes, its a roguelike gamemode

roguelikes are random in nature

r10 is always a Ultimate Battle stage tho

[gentle maple]

Pretty much hope for no palmer and anabel

[urban ledge]

You could always get the nightmare scenario and have OOPS ALL PALMER

[simple frost]

or oops all anabel 😭

[quaint star]

Anabel my behated

[oblique breach]

Attacking in VH Level 3 does very little damage

[simple frost]

what's your bonus/buffs?

also against who?

[oblique breach]

VH 3 is poison

Strike Support

[simple frost]

poison weak...?

well you dont have any buffs outside of Rock Theme Level 1, and you dont have any rock sync pairs in your team.

as long as you've got a rock theme'd unit in your team you get the stat bonus of +100% to all allied stats

[oblique breach]

ok

[leaden wraith]

Also try to save good units for later fights, especially the UB at the end

SS Kris is a solid tank on Anabel if you happen to get her stage, for example

[oblique breach]

OK

It was generated for me

And yeah, if I buy anything on the top row, will it stay there in the shop forever?

[leaden wraith]

Yes

If you happen to have better Dark roster, you can consider buying the Dark theme boost and ignore the Rock boost

[oblique breach]

Well crap

Rock v Dark

[leaden wraith]

Or you buy neither and wait for shop rotation after each fight to hope for getting better boosts

[oblique breach]

OK

They're now selling Fairy Zone

[simple frost]

Strike and Tech bonuses?

[leaden wraith]

Not worth going for it, imo

The only things that are worth buying to benefit all your teams and save as many as rally points possible:

• theme boost (ofc)
• crit power up, if you happen to see them

You can consider buying one time use item to get easier time against Ultimate Battle, but the rest is not worth buying if you want to maximize rally points earned

People usually buy 1 or 2 theme boosts and one time item for UB, so they usually spend 300 points at most and still get a lot of points for cake vounchers and powerups

[oblique breach]

Round 4

ok

Spend more; get fewer medals, right?

[leaden wraith]

Yup

Dont buy unnecessary things

[oblique breach]

ok

Harder = more rewarding

I'd say VH is recommended for people who have at least 120 EX pairs

AND can play better than me (has the willpower to get more than 10 in LG)

Holy feck, VH hits you HARD

[thick mauve]

you don't need 120 ex pairs for this, just buy more items if you have a hard time, once you're familiar with the mode you can buy fewer items

[leaden wraith]

Thats not true, with decent roster you can do VH just fine

[oblique breach]

I'm having a hard time

[leaden wraith]

It all comes down to gameplay skill honestly

[thick mauve]

also make sure to check for the stage gimmicks

[leaden wraith]

And plan your units accordingly

[oblique breach]

But I can't see ahead

Just generally Save the Best for Last, right?

[leaden wraith]

Save pairs who are capable of beating multiple UB, like NC Blue and NC Serena

[oblique breach]

I have neither

[thick mauve]

if you have this much trouble in early stages buy the scope next time

[leaden wraith]

Also make sure to use pomatools to check the full bonus role set you have

[oblique breach]

I have the full set saved

[leaden wraith]

It was an example, but yeah save the best for the last generally

[oblique breach]

I'll have to get the Apple Cup then

[thick mauve]

just do hard for the last stage

[leaden wraith]

No, not worth buying it at all when you try to maximize points earned

Doing H stage without cup gives more points than doing VH with cup

[oblique breach]

all right

[rapid notch]

I should retire here right

I'm not beating r10 without apple cup so it's a loss either way

[crisp token]

Never retire

Even if it takes buying out the entire shop, you'll still gain points from actually completing it

Otherwise you get something like 0.1 of your points only

Just do Hard, buy some of the 1-use items if you need to

[stoic cairn]

yea u have like 4 stacks bro

i think u can clear argenta

[rapid notch]

1 rally done

7 to go

[gentle maple]

Doesn't retire have a very bad results multiplier

[rapid notch]

If i actually played rallies I would've done 10 rallies by now

[stoic cairn]

honestly i dont think its a good idea to go for region upgrade

[crisp token]

Iirc 0.1

[rapid notch]

Didn't get anything else

[stoic cairn]

MC?

rival?

[stoic cairn]

wtf fr?

[crisp token]

Yeah

Basically never ever retire

[rapid notch]

Closest I got was trial givee

Anyways

[crisp token]

Do Easy if you have to lol

[rapid notch]

Is there any trick to do 8 rallies fast

[gentle maple]

This really depends on the sync pairs u have

[crisp token]

Easy speedrun

[rapid notch]

Mk

[crisp token]

Nah like fr

[gentle maple]

Don't overthink

And use pomatools to see your set

[rapid notch]

I'd rather just not do rallies but I've voided 3 so far

And 3 expire in 4 days

[crisp token]

Either Easy faceroll, or do VH and buy a good boost every floor if you have more time

[gentle maple]

If u can't consistently clear VH go do a hard only clear

[crisp token]

By Floor 10 having +1000% stats is going to win anything

[gentle maple]

The cake vouchers are really good resource

[rapid notch]

I'm doing it cuz if i get sssteven support cake would be kinda nice

[polar fable]

Wdym? 8 is the max currently

3 weeks this month + 5 on jan 31st

[rapid notch]

I didn't use the free three passes we got with debut

[gentle maple]

From this run u are alr doing something right just keep at it and improve while knowing your pool limits

[rapid notch]

I just finished the first rally on my alt

[gentle maple]

If I were u from area 1-3 I would try to do VH

From there if VH is too difficult tone down to hard

Ofc all this while getting the bonus role

[rapid notch]

Ok

[polar fable]

I mean even with those the max is still 8, so its not even possible to have done 10 rallies rn

I think the 5 were from the 3 on debut, 1 they gave at the end of the explanation or smth, and 1 for the weekly

[gentle maple]

Safe to say most of us here spend 30min-1hr doing our weekly rallies anyways

[rapid notch]

But i remember getting the pass wasn't added to you inventory message twice

[polar fable]

[static arch]

I think BR is going to be seen as a chore as bad or worse than BV in 3 months

Simply because the majority of players seem to hate any difficult stages or those requiring strategy

[ionic sigil]

It’s different each time while Villa was stale by like the third time so idk.

[wary kayak]

Being different each time might actually be part of the issue here. No one-size-fits-all solution means requiring more brainpower, which is discrimination against stupid people

[sudden heron]

Nc blue reporting for duty

[crisp token]

Floor 4 is a combo breaker lol

[sudden heron]

Yeh still gonna use him anyway i would wait to ex role riley before i do it

[gentle maple]

Looks more like a NC rosa floor 4 to 10

[crisp token]

You could just use him after 4, the first 4 floors aren't difficult

[gentle maple]

Oh wait nvm floor 7 exist

[sudden heron]

True but i feel like i am missing put on that stage 3 2.0 bonus

Also i got ass Gym leader bonus smh

And no other bonus from shop yet

Is there usually a pattern on a second theme bonus or is it random

[crisp token]

You gain 0.5 bonus on floor 3 but lose 0.5 on floor 4 by not matching any

No gains

[gentle maple]

Yeah I can see that happening but the rewards are far greater here imo

So people that don't do BR lose out on those

Gems from BV could be covered by but cake vouchers and PU would require way more

[sudden heron]

This keeps getting interesting, managed to get water theme so am chilling

[ionic sigil]

Welcome to hell on my alt. Ghost Boost, Tech/Sprint, WTZ needed for damage and I think this was made for SST Red + SSA Cynthia. SST Red has a double role boost later on so I want to save him for that.

[ionic sigil]

Okay, eventually got it but man what a pain

[vernal vapor]

My best score!

Getting Kanto as bonus is a free win

[cobalt furnace]

What did you spend 100 pts on?

[vernal vapor]

another kanto bonus

i dont remember the stage but i thought i could need it for the UB

At the end i didnt need it because i got Argenta and i used the exact same team i used for the real battle

[hasty marlin]

0.2x

I remember the retire multiplier from day one chat

[static arch]

What are the different weaknesses for area 10 battles?

Seems like I should try avoiding to use any good pairs of those types just in case

[hasty marlin]

#1009557516369281075 pins has the battles

In the ub clear doc

[static arch]

I see #unknown

[hasty marlin]

#1009553004350931054 ub/ebe thread

If that link somehow didn’t work

[fluid mountain]

7500 points earned. Johto Upgrade as starting bonus, and exchanged 7 critical boosts. Last battle was against Anabel, which I lowered the difficulty to Hard. A glass cannon run, 2 of the stages with sprint and field bonus.

The Anabel fight was strike and sprint bonus, so SS Gladion was used for x2.0

[heady owl]

vvtf is this?

[worthy tusk]

Is this enough to make bug worth it?

Please ping me

This is my pattern

[heady owl]

NGL, I have a run where the game gives me a free stat boost for a bug type in the team at the beginning of the game.

For almost the entire match, the shop only gave me dmg boost in sun and fire damage, not even a theme boost. Luckily I have NC Leaf and almost every bug pair in the lineup just for stat boosts.

Eggmon also saved my ass when I needed an extra tech bug for the bonus. Bugs are almost not a problem if your remaining 2 slots are strong enough

[fresh holly]

No bonus area bad load out

Best run so far for no item

I don’t understand the double triple logic

[urban ledge]

What double triple

[worthy tusk]

NC leaf can clear this? I have her

[quiet tiger]

I bought 4 Sp Atk Raised Power Ups and it let me best Anabel without Irida

[fresh holly]

3,7,10 & 2,5,8 look

Same types

@urban ledge

Very bad load out

[heady owl]

It depends on a lot of things from what the shop will give you and the map pattern, as well as your roster.

[astral path]

Man idk how y’all are beating the level 10 without the apple cup or any items for some of you.

[fresh holly]

busted teams I'll show you what I had to use on last one one sec

[worthy tusk]

Yeah so far nothing good except bug boost

Or ground boost....which is worse than bug

[fresh holly]

basically floor 10 you want to have 90% of your big boys ready

[simple frost]

You get a bonus for the UB you're challenging from the very beginning. If luck has it, you can clear the UB with your UB Killers... assuming you're also having role bonus as well. So essentially... be lucky 😭

there are some VH UBs you can clear, as long as its not named Anabel or Palmer

with just 1 free stat buff.

its basically just a normal UB fight if you havae a stat bonus. If not, its impossible challenge.

[fresh holly]

^ but it's honestly not that many units that can clear these things

a few master fairs and variety red

[simple frost]

you can always try with a single stat boost + the UB killers club. But just downgrade to Hard if VH is extremely difficult.

[karmic briar]

There was an 11K here some days ago n

[fresh holly]

yeah lucky stage with 3x 2.0

waiting for my lucky day lol

[hybrid abyss]

Me when suffering:

Actually nvm this is quite lucky

[simple frost]

tech/support at the end 😮

[hybrid abyss]

I’m just sad that I can’t chain my Rolex units very well

[fresh holly]

yeah that's a nice spread

the double triples are the oens that suck

ones*

[worthy tusk]

I guess my only option is take a loss and get 500 points?

No bug pairs for these roles

Or can I do triple and do hard and get more than 500?

Is hard 600?

Please ping me

I'm not sure what to do

[fresh holly]

hmmmm what are the shop options

[simple frost]

you've got 6 buffs from what i see

[fresh holly]

HOLY 5x bug stat boost

you should easily win ?

[worthy tusk]

Not much of anything useful

[simple frost]

Oh its x5

well, i wouldn't buy anymore stat boosts.

just try the Area before buying.

[worthy tusk]

Well I mean do I get more doing very hard with just 2 boosted roles or do I hard with 3 boosted roles? I don't think I can clear very hard without a bug which means I lose points.

[fresh holly]

just use a bug for the boost.... and lose the small amount

it's not that big of a deal

[worthy tusk]

I thought I was supposed to get 5?

[fresh holly]

I'm confused... are people being told to buy the boost every round?

I only consider it if it's on sale for 50

[worthy tusk]

I was told to buy it 4 times for a x5 boost

[simple frost]

You want to save points.

but you dont want to "overkill" in buying stats

[fresh holly]

Yeah the stats start to fall off

[simple frost]

so try without buying more than 5x stats, its usually enough tbh.

[fresh holly]

"base 1"
2 = double
3 = only 33% gain

if you get some of the lucky 50% off base items easily obtained 100% boosts

consider grabbing those, but I would limit spending to <200

[simple frost]

you've got a decent roster, so you could theoretically stomp with just 3x or 5x stat boosts, any more is kinda overkill tbh.

[worthy tusk]

Wait now I'm confused

I was told x5 is a 500% boost

[fresh holly]

just fyi 5x is roll VH floor 10 level stats

it is....

the point is it's super overkill

[worthy tusk]

Ah so not needed

[fresh holly]

a lot of the battle rally don't have "flinch, sleep, etc..." mechanics

you can get away with doing rounds without being hit

Outside of floor 10 obviously

[simple frost]

Yeah you can stall your way from Area 1 to Area 9

unless you get a specific Battle Challenge that has Resilience or something.

[worthy tusk]

So uh now bug boost is on sale. Don't get number 6?

[leaden wraith]

If you get a bad starting boost, i recommend checking the shop often to see if there is better boost appearing

Dont stick with it if its bad

[worthy tusk]

So far I haven't seen anything else except ground which is worse. I have a dozen bugs but no holiday viola.

Only 8 ground

[leaden wraith]

The shop resets everytime you beat a stage, hence why i said "keep checking"

[worthy tusk]

Oh that's helpful thanks!

[worthy tusk]

Should I cake leaf for this?

[hybrid abyss]

long term investment, sure

probably should mke sure it's theoretically possible to beat b4 investing tho

[fresh holly]

I think you only need cake on leaf for non fire weak. You should be able to beat that no cake

I clipped VH 10 weak to ground no items with moltres earlier. Did require cake

[simple frost]

5x boost with NC Leaf, should be pretty good.

is it Tech + Sup Bonus?

[hybrid abyss]

yeah, cuz otherwise there'd be no boost for either the supports or molt

[simple frost]

you can try it, the only point to point out is that Thorton is gonna switch his SP.DEF to DEF, and he becomes vulnerable to physical attacks once he hits 60%

[leaden wraith]

with enough boost its not even an issue

[severe bronze]

5x boost is more than enough

caking nc leaf isnt a bad idea in general though

shes great and you get bonus points

its a win win unless you already plan on using support cake on someone else

[leaden wraith]

i wouldnt recommend caking anyone right before anni unless they dont care about it

[simple frost]

I probably wouldn't cake NC Leaf either but up to you if you want points right now and in the future o/

[worthy tusk]

Well I haven't caked any characters and I didn't convert any cakes yet from rally.

Managed to clear it thanks to lucky flinch, paralysis, and a nice burn on thorton. It took a few resets but it worked.

[leaden wraith]

nice, you got good points at the end

[hybrid abyss]

not trying to boast, but that point count is what my "bad" run looks like

I really am just riding the resource gathering train aren't I?

[stark dawn]

Depends on how many caked units you have

[worthy tusk]

Thanks. I only had to lose one role boost due to no bug for it.

[stark dawn]

That's about it

[hybrid abyss]

I'm just surprised that once you have invested Rolex pairs, getting points becomes significantly easier, especially with BR tracker planning.

[stark dawn]

Yeah I've caked a lot of units just for rally

And Steven is getting one tomorrow

[hybrid abyss]

waitamintue Deoxys is dropping next reset?! I GOTTA PULL ASAP

[stark dawn]

Wait for Datamine at least

[worthy tusk]

I only used 2 cake unit for this run, NC leaf who was double roles and ssa Cynthia because I needed a sprint and she goes good with that hisuei guy.

Oh and NC blue

[stark dawn]

He isnt caked on your screenshot tho

[severe bronze]

he is

you can see striker role on him

but its faded because no bonus

[worthy tusk]

Yeah I had to cake him for last run

If I knew I wasn't going to need my rat I would have used it earlier.....

Instead of suffering with luxray

[hybrid abyss]

the BR tracker exists y'know

[worthy tusk]

But it didn't tell me the type weakness

[severe bronze]

br tracker helps a lot

[worthy tusk]

I knew the roles

[hybrid abyss]

then just plan for the roles, ez.

[worthy tusk]

I did, I planned to murder the final stage if needed with a rat 🤣

But it turned out it was weak to NC leaf instead

[worthy tusk]

I'll have to decide now if I want sprint, field, or support cakes? SS lusamine and SS Serena are on my short list but sprint and field are really needed for rally

[hybrid abyss]

Ice Boost

Stage 1: Beaten
Stage 2: NCRed, random meatshields
Stage 3: CBede, NCRosa, filler Ice Type

Stage 4: Brycen, NCNate, Iris
Stage 5: Clay, Ghetsis, sleeper
Stage 6: NCBlue, Zerena, SSLeon

Stage 7: Ice Type/Nemona, SSTRed, EVictor
Stage 8: Endure Tank/Volkner, SSTRed, sleep/flinch
Stage 9: SSGladion, Nemona and/or fillers

Stage 10: NCCalem, NCSerena, NCLeaf/filler..?

Sound good? man I hope I get another boost that fits with my stage 10 team

Main Character Boost sounds really good rn

[leaden wraith]

you know stages' gimmicks beforehand?

[hybrid abyss]

nah cuz I don't buy the starting scope

[cobalt furnace]

Probably not but they’re just looking at the role boosts

[hybrid abyss]

sounds like a waste when downgrading to hard is more profitable

I'm willing to gamble 100-200 points on boosts tho cuz net gain, and I do really want to attempt beating a v hard stage

I could also cheese with SSLyra if I could, tho idk much about UBs

[leaden wraith]

this is not a good way to plan imo, you havent even known gimmicks of every stage and its likely your plan gets ruined at some point

Stage 10 doesnt even have Ice pair

[hybrid abyss]

yeah, which is why I want to ditch it ASAP

but I haven't stumbled upon a boost that synergizes with my endgame team

OH if I could get Kanto upgrade...

[leaden wraith]

your UB team depends on the stage gimmicks, like the usual

what if you got Palmer UB? dual frogs would be destroyed

[hybrid abyss]

yeah.. my first run's experience wasn't great cuz of that

[simple frost]

SS Lyra from Stage 1 to 9? 😮

[hybrid abyss]

nahhh I'm not that insane

[leaden wraith]

thats not a good strategy either

[hybrid abyss]

I'm not too salty about dropping every area 10 in my entire existence, as long as I get 8-9k+ points

[leaden wraith]

Just do Hard difficulty

[silent swift]

If you don't finish off Palmer fast enough , he just destroys your entire team.
Max Strike , Giga impact, 3 sync buffs

[hybrid abyss]

yeah it's stupidly hard; you literally can't finish it with boost consideration if you have bad rng

[leaden wraith]

The fight is already over when Palmer uses his max move

Unless you have Chocolat Guard? But not sure if it helps tanking the max moves under zone with 4 sync buffs

And sure crit

[hybrid abyss]

I'm curious: Has anyone used the Apple Cup on Palmer yet? Are we able to actually live?

[silent swift]

Honestly I would rather move to Hard.

[hybrid abyss]

yeah.. Palmer is just stupidly and ludicrously hard

[leaden wraith]

Yeah, it gives more points than buying cup and beat VH

[crisp token]

Probably more likely that you just kill him rather than live through

Does Palmer have any other gimmicks other than the timed death sequence?

[simple frost]

Does Palmer uses his Max Move before his 1st sync? o.o?

[crisp token]

I've only fought him once during the first day but that was hopped up on +800% boost because I didn't know how to budget yet lmao

[leaden wraith]

flinch immunity and Swag Bag 9 Ancient Power

i assume freeze/sleep immunity as well

[simple frost]

i fought him with +3 stat boost & +3 rebuff buff + infinite grassy terrain .-.

taken down by Vacuum Wave .-.

[crisp token]

Who says Palmer is hard

[simple frost]

its Very Hard.

[cobalt furnace]

Real

[simple frost]

https://youtu.be/-h6jJqP2alE?si=GpWh1Kvgofkqdzix&t=313

i was still testing the limits of what i can do with limited buffs

(since Week 1 i was like buying w/e, by Week 2 i was testing a bit more)

[gentle maple]

Someone cleared palmer with only 2x unova boost iirc

It was very tight but doable

[gentle maple]

Yeah it's possible

[worthy tusk]

So I got all the vouchers this month. I can just use next week to carry over to next month right?

[wary kayak]

Yeah, you can

[simple frost]

oh. i dont have Rei 😭

[austere cipher]

I just got paulo from anni tickets

and I just learned he's a sprint. thank god lol

[gentle maple]

Sprint support too

[cobalt furnace]

He saved my life when I got a Sprint/Field Neo Champ Stadium Red battle

[simple frost]

was it against Malva? 😮

Oh wait

[cobalt furnace]

It was the Red battle, the one with Hail and HE9
It was designed so you could bring sun to thaw/stop freeze, but that isn’t happening with my roster, so Paulo removed the Hail with Sand

[simple frost]

BR NC Red Battle

[cobalt furnace]

Brrr is real

[simple frost]

was it stage 7 or so?

[wary kayak]

BRRR. Battle Royal Ready to Rumble!

[cobalt furnace]

Stage 5

Even with (EXR) 1/5 NCRosa and 3/5 SS Gladion, I still couldn’t presync without any boosts

[simple frost]

I did try for him back then, but only got Tina and she's been good.

really wish she had EXR though.

[austere cipher]

That's cool

[austere cipher]

[normal python]

I've been really slacking on this mode

[quaint star]

Don't slack especially on this mode. You have to claim that 300 gem on weekly basis

Daily reminder that next week lasts only 4 days since monthly refresh is coming, so remember to do it before Friday

[karmic briar]

And also if you have already claimed everything you need from the shop, hoard the cake rally tickets till Friday

[austere cipher]

just read the letter oh my

I'm late but holy

[karmic briar]

That’s a massive great update btw

[austere cipher]

means I can do this

[austere cipher]

true true 100%

[severe bronze]

your zerena is 5/5?

[austere cipher]

also the lucky skills combo
really good in lg solo's as well

[austere cipher]

I have the spare candy to 5/5 both serena

I hope ss lyra gets cake treatment really soon. she's a lil behind on my fav units T_T

[quaint star]

Well what do you know? MF got an indirect buff with the energy increase

[frozen lotus]

I focused on getting all the buff just to see my stats.

[severe bronze]

most of them got a good grid placement already

[elfin tendon]

Holy W update

[simple frost]

only if you have her 5/5 D:

[austere cipher]

[oak jolt]

Is it 2 extra energy per level?

[hasty marlin]

We don’t know yet the specifics

But people are assuming that until further notice

We should know tomorrow

[arctic jasper]

Which means 6 energy at 3/5

Which is enough for adding nothing

[hasty marlin]

Cause it sounds like the update is this upcoming reset

[arctic jasper]

Good grids need 10 energy

[hasty marlin]

Even 1-3 energy fixes many grids ngl

And it still covers gen pool and f2p pairs

https://tenor.com/view/miraidon-pokemon-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-dance-toothless-gif-5811329944095029800

[oak jolt]

I guess you can still add an important tile for lots of units

[arctic jasper]

That’ll be hard work for spark

[hasty marlin]

I’m really happy with the update even if it might be a tad restrictive depending on specifics

[severe bronze]

6 is good

but i dont think its +2 per move level

[hasty marlin]

Might end up 4/5ing a mf or two over it if it doesn’t cap at 3/5

[oak jolt]

I mean if it's +2 per Move level it will be good

[severe bronze]

yup

i hope so

[hasty marlin]

It’s good no matter what tbh

[oak jolt]

If it's some BS like +5 per level at 4 and 5 only it will be sad

[severe bronze]

its just funny +2 on 1/5 is completely useless

[hasty marlin]

I wouldn’t put it past dena to be like +5 3/5 and +5 5/5

[severe bronze]

you can only start using the extras starting 2/5

[hasty marlin]

Or some other random nonsense

[oak jolt]

Like I said that's my fear

[hasty marlin]

As long as 4/5 is not the start point for energy I’m happy

Which I doubt they’d do

Would be too big of a riot I think

[oak jolt]

I guess it will still be useful for general pool units and f2p unis

The 3 lucky skill slots is the best part

This fixes a lot of units with lucky skill choice issues

[austere cipher]

hoping they will add more content soon, for candy coins this time.

[oak jolt]

Finally I can give tm1 to NC Rosa without having to give up on vigilance if I need it

[simple frost]

thankfully i really farmed those move levels for Event Misty and Event Giovanni ;o

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-just-the-two-of-us-gif-23745757

Basically me with the slots

Putting both hs1 and adrenaline on my biggest accel supports

[simple frost]

iirc the slots i feel like, you'll have 2 "reserve" slots and 1 active slot.

[hasty marlin]

Yeah

It’s like sync grid slots

[simple frost]

it kinda makes sense since, there's 3 actual slots in that page.

so you can just select one per battle.

[severe bronze]

its really nice

[hasty marlin]

Honestly I expected four slots when it was announced to match grid slots

[oak jolt]

Yes is 3 slots and 1 active

[hasty marlin]

[simple frost]

3 slots and 1 active would be nice i guess.

[severe bronze]

but i already burned my

i should do more gauntlet

[hasty marlin]

My cookie situation ain’t gonna be pretty after the update

[oak jolt]

I mean 2 + 1 (3 slots in total)

[hasty marlin]

Already bit dry on general ones

And my hs1s will empty me prob on deluxe

Kinda an accel simp to some degree

[oak jolt]

I can finally give 1/5 N clearheaded if I want to use him as a dragon dps

[hasty marlin]

I just realized

Dauntless on silver can return

[gentle maple]

Definitely not true, a lot of grids fall short 1-2 energy for what they want

[oak jolt]

I can give Brendan cs2 and I can give pinpoint entry to units that can't fix their own accuracy by themselves

[hasty marlin]

I uh, also might or might not have healthy healing on ssethan due to gauntlet

Cause I was trying to do the latios solo

[hasty marlin]

Dude I tried to do ppe2 on gladion

80 fucking of silver and bronze combined

No ppe2

I swear that shit don’t exist lmao

[oak jolt]

I just candied him to fix fleur cannon

[hasty marlin]

I can’t fit it on my grid without the energy expansion. Was 3 energy short iirc

[oak jolt]

3 lucky skills to choose from should be enough for most units

[hasty marlin]

Yeah. Hs1, {general cookie}, {gauntlet clear cookie} is my expectation for most of my units

Only ones that might be awkward are the ones with anti quad queue passives that don’t get adrenaline on grid

[static arch]

I'll be having trouble deciding between adrenaline/HS or stagus/interference immunity on many supports

I'll probably prioritize sync acceleration on any units that already have it in their kit and skip for ones that dont

[oak jolt]

Thd main issue is that getting lots of his will drain the deluxe cookies supply

[oblique breach]

So...

How's Palmer?

[stark dawn]

hard

[oblique breach]

What is he like

[oblique breach]

How do I beat him without any limited gacha pairs that debuted in 2023?

Cuz the only ones I have are EX Leon Dragapult, EX NC Leaf, Chase (used up), Petrel, Grusha and EX Rei.

Rei's pretty imporant to me

I also feel like Cynthia and Lucario are must haves to beat him, because of zone and all. However, I had no luck and/or gems to get her.

[fresh holly]

Red vena destroys vh grass stafge 10

Might be easier than palmer hard

[oblique breach]

I mentioned the only limited gacha pairs I have

Red Venusaur is not one of them, because I don't have any paid gems

[fresh holly]

Ah

👍

[oblique breach]

For Palmer, it's sync or swim

Literally

Kill him before sync and you win. Else, you swim.

[fresh holly]

I feel like palmer and annabell are both overtuned

[oblique breach]

overtuned?

[fresh holly]

Too hard for hard

[oblique breach]

Level 9 Hard opponents can ONE SHOT you

And my bonus is rock

No tech bonus

[mental raft]

Whenever I try to enter a battle rally the game restarts every time.
What should I do.

[oblique breach]

That sounds more like a technical issue

But try clearing cache

[mental raft]

I have tried it also but no luck

[oblique breach]

Sorry, I cannot help you

[mental raft]

Oh okay

[robust ember]

Happy with this run

[normal python]

Goddamn

[robust ember]

Great RNG and planning go a long way

And managing field/sprints is key

[oblique breach]

Not buying the Apple Cop-Out

n this is what I have

I really have to sleep

I was close to beating Palmer on hard when he maxed out

[gentle maple]

The solution is really simple, put a rock type in your team for that bonus

[stray ravine]

no offense but if you cannot beat a Hard battle the stage is not the issue

[karmic wraith]

ss steven is the new battle rally god right

none of his tms use mp

all forms can be useful really

[gentle maple]

Nah not quite

[stray ravine]

eh, that doesn't matter too much if you get 0 points because no bonus

[karmic wraith]

thats..... not how battle rally works

[stray ravine]

I am aware, I mean extra points...

[gentle maple]

Still doesn't provide as much value as nc leaf or NC blue imo

He is pretty flexible into any team tho I will give u that

Can be the damage, the accel or the wall

But only one at a time

[karmic wraith]

if you have a lot of tech or support bonuses in a row he can go a long way

[gentle maple]

Yeah

[stray ravine]

yes, but that's situational, doesn't mean he is the best there is

[gentle maple]

But honestly tho I would pick Elaine over him tbh

[stray ravine]

it's like that one field set we can get where SST Red can carry you the whole way, it depends

[karmic wraith]

elaine is also really good

defense form can give +4 atk to sst red without mp each stage

[gentle maple]

He's definitely high up on the to cake list if that's what u are wondering

Good to use even outside of rally

[normal python]

Oh god, I got Palmer as my very hard level

I have 4x Dragon Upgrade, but his max move immediately deletes me

[worthy tusk]

Probably take the few point loss and do hard.

[normal python]

That's the funny part. Thorton is my hard level, I have tech/support role bonus and I have NC Leaf preserved

If Palmer and Thorton were reversed, it would've been GGs

[worthy tusk]

Yeah thorton will be easier than stealing candy from a baby. He is a dead duck.

And honestly you really won't lose much if any since NC leaf is double role.

[normal python]

Should I just buy another Dragon Upgrade?

I might survive Palmer's Max Strike if I do so

Oh fuck it

[languid widget]

I think Palmer's Max Strike is meant to be the time limit. You're not supposed to survive past it

[crisp token]

What's your one-use items in shop

Those might be better than plain +100% stats

[mild notch]

yooo

i have my first lucky area

letsgoo

[normal python]

My NC Leaf and SS Morty did

[mild notch]

round 8

[normal python]

Only Lisia didn't survive because she's the Defog unit

[languid widget]

[normal python]

Palmer had exactly 0 Atk. buffs and all I did with Leaf was spam Leer

[normal python]

This is without Apple Cup BTW

[languid widget]

I figured it would be. If you had Apple Cup you wouldn't be struggling

[normal python]

The only way out of this would be to have a relevant unit with crit shield

Why'd Palmer have to be Very Hard while Thorton is Hard?

[languid widget]

You can give Vigilance to everyone

[normal python]

Piercing Blows

The only way out is Crit Shield + Attack Drop + Defense Buffs + Defog Normal Zone

BTW, does your current rally medals retain when the month resets?

Or does it reset monthly?

[crisp token]

It carries over

[normal python]

Oh?

[ebon valve]

The medals are a currency in your bag, they don't expire.

[pseudo egret]

tldr medals are like gold coins, there's a limit to how many things you can buy per month

but not a limit to how many you can carry

[molten ice]

idk what to do

[fresh holly]

Thorton easier than annabel rip 💤

[gilded remnant]

new high score : O

[mild kiln]

I could role cake either archer or anni lillie to score higher in my current run
I assume archer would probably be the better choice since sprint pairs are still pretty rare and it could let me use him in more stages in a row?

[stark dawn]

probably yeah

[static arch]

I have both sprint/support MF but my bonus is dark type. Do I try to best area 10 with 3 MF supports? Or should I use sereninja instead of a double role support to beat it essier?

[wary kayak]

Oh, does the type swap actually activate the type upgrade if it wouldn't have triggered on the default type?

[cobalt furnace]

It shouldn’t, since it’s based on Theme Skills

[wary kayak]

Then yeah I'm not sure Serenja will help unless it's specifically to counter Anabel or something

[hybrid abyss]

currently waiting on a more favorable boost for better synergy for the final team:

so far, I got no dice.

[static arch]

I was implying that calem greninja was the dark tyoe

[hybrid abyss]

holdup.. omg nvm that's a good boost already

[static arch]

Yeah I can use 2 ninja and aura cynthia for enough good multiplier

[hybrid abyss]

ok then keep that gameplan cuz it's goated; at the very least, you'll be able to beat hard basically guaranteed.

[static arch]

NC Rosa dual role will be partially wasted on earlier area, no big deal

[hybrid abyss]

If you could afford, throw fillers early on

perhaps throw filler pairs like riley on stage 1

[sweet mango]

field

[kindred glacier]

do you guys exchange for the golden upgrade with your tickets
i have more than 200 of golden tickets laying around, was wondering should i just keep the rest of them for next month, and already got all the cake coins

[sweet mango]

does anyone know what boss this is?

[hybrid abyss]

SSTRed sweep

[sweet mango]

oh yeah yeah

i have ex role

any thoughts on teams?

[hybrid abyss]

support is ez, the hard ones are gonna be field/sprint and field/strike

[cobalt furnace]

You mean use Battle Rally medals to buy ?

[kindred glacier]

i got the same selection, the boss was the one that need debuff on them or their def would x3

[kindred glacier]

yeah

do you buy them?

[sweet mango]

who was that

[kindred glacier]

i forgot💀,they don't let u check again once you are done...
also they have rain set up that would heal them

[cobalt furnace]

I personally don’t, I just don’t want any situation where I don’t have enough medals to buy Cake Coins

I have a good reserve of but if you don’t it might make more sense to buy them

[hybrid abyss]

Does anyone know what the Barry fight is? I'm having trouble fighting him due to field/sprint combo

[kindred glacier]

okay, i am in the same situation, i not going to buy any then, thanks for the reply

[cobalt furnace]

What’s the type weakness? And absol should have a pastebin for it

[hybrid abyss]

main is ground; I'll go look for that pastebin

[sweet mango]

marshall as striker, sstred as tech/field, ss rosa as support/sprint. fighting upgrade

[hybrid abyss]

... oml I already used SSRosa for x2 reward boost 💀

my boosts aren't looking too hot either

[sweet mango]

i'm going by my strategy of using one team with all roles

makes it easier for me

[hybrid abyss]

1 ice stat boost, 2 offensive atk stat boost

what the fuck am I supposed to dooo?!?!?

do I drop to hard?

fuck.. I'm gonna hav eto drop to hard aren't I

[simple frost]

I can definitely run Mix Red in there www

[hybrid abyss]

Got Anabel's UB for Area 10. What do I need to know?

[silent swift]

Severe Sundae is extremely helpful I guess

[sweet mango]

Any team ideas?

Adaman, mix red, ssacynthia?

6200. enough for all 20 cake vouchers

[gentle maple]

Have adaman?

[sweet mango]

yeah

i completed it

[gentle maple]

Nice

[sweet mango]

How does next rally look like, it being a 4 weeks?

would it end on march 3?

[gentle maple]

I mean 4 weeks basically mean every rally u have to get 6k everytime

For all the cake vouchers

[sweet mango]

i mean the duration of the days in a week because i complete things on the last day

i've been getting above 6k

[gentle maple]

Nah it's gonna end on Feb 29 I believe

[sweet mango]

oh ok

[gentle maple]

So only 4 days

To complete it

[sweet mango]

[gentle maple]

It's not so bad compared to the 24hrs to complete 5 runs at the start

[sweet mango]

if i can do like 6 rallies in one day surely i can do one in 4 days

[gentle maple]

Surely

[hybrid abyss]

waitaminute.. how did you do 6 in a day?!?!?!

[gentle maple]

Probably when rally just launched

[sweet mango]

yeah

[gentle maple]

Dena dropped a new game mode and told us u have 24hr to clear the cake vouchers
