Battle Rally

[simple frost]

Looks like you got it.

[sweet mango]

yeah

may the next rally be as easy

[hybrid abyss]

8.6k... not bad.

[half bone]

Can people help me on current rally? Haven't started yet since I've been trying to delay long enough to built up my power.

This is the path I've got.

these are my options

I can name who has EX if needed.

[pseudo egret]

The bad news is that your stages are randomized

[half bone]

Yeah, I know.

[pseudo egret]

We really don't know who you're fighting

Have you read the pins?

General tips would be to keep your strong pairs for later

And stat bonuses are stackable

[half bone]

I'm gonna have to get rid of two of my Field mons from the start, sadly.

I've got an extra sprint coin, at least, for later.

First fight is against Bertha.

Nidoking lead and ice weakness.

Honestly, I'm gonna hope for a better bonus coming up. Only options are rock, ice, and fighting.

Started with rock.

Riley/Victor/Akari for the first round? I... really can't avoid using power pairs here.

I think a suggestion given was to use Aura Cynth for a few stages in a row too.

Ex role havers, to note

[simple frost]

Know your track yet?

[half bone]

I posted it earlier.

[half bone]

Here.

[simple frost]

What does the initial shop look like?

Theme boost or damage mods?

[half bone]

Rock, ice, and fighting was the initial lineup. I passed on that to hope for a theme skill.

[simple frost]

Fighting would be decent with aura cynthia

[half bone]

Yeah but I didn't have too much aside from that.

[simple frost]

And rei

[hybrid abyss]

@half bone Who is currently Rolexed?

[half bone]

...Yeah, looking at current hsop now, it's WORSE. All terrain/zone or SE.

[half bone]

Posted them here. @hybrid abyss

[hybrid abyss]

lots of sprint pairs :P

well not a LOT but

Also, save Rei for Area 7. I have the feeling you'll need him.

[half bone]

Yeah, I only used Riley for sprint.

[simple frost]

Yeah i would've just grabbed aura cynthia + nc rosa + riley and hit above yo to area 9 + 3to4 stat boosts for fighting. And ran it from area 1 to 9

[half bone]

Well, hopefully, it'll show up again.

[hybrid abyss]

I'd suggest mono striker team for are 2, since there's that dreaded sprint/field later down the line
... unless you already used those 2 rare role units on area 1... then oml that sucks 💀

[half bone]

Yep. I plan to go full strike.

[simple frost]

Actually yeah you can run aura cynthia + dd x2 on the way up

While preserving your ub killers or area 7 and above

[hybrid abyss]

oml that's actually a p good idea to run SSAC for the middle stages

[simple frost]

Aura cynthia can shield herself from damage if its getting sticky

[oblique breach]

OK I admit it's a me problem

I can't Palmer

[simple frost]

Ive ran her from area 1 to 9.before.and she never dropped down to 90% hp hehe

[half bone]

Got an EB, it looks like. Victor, Healthy Advantage.

[simple frost]

Whats your stat boosts?

[half bone]

that's my second fight.

[hybrid abyss]

if it's VH, it's not ur problem; DeNa juts made his fight wayyyy too hard for a restrictive gamemode.

[oblique breach]

Less powerful but does more damage

[simple frost]

Theme boosts and damage mods?

And also shop currently

[simple frost]

Like MPizza or something

[hybrid abyss]

wish I got that chocolat thing on area 10 just so I could've had a chance at beating Anabel

[oblique breach]

Endurance and Evasion are no gos

[simple frost]

Uh id just suggest climb down to hard.

[oblique breach]

I'm already on hard

[half bone]

HEalthy Advantage is status ailments, right?

[simple frost]

Try using a Rock type sync pair in your team.

[oblique breach]

My remaining rock pairs

[half bone]

Yeah, just not too many that would fit. Should I just use it for DPS and use something like Plumeria for smog spam to beat Healthy Advantage?

[simple frost]

How far did you get to Palmer before he killed your team?

[oblique breach]

halfway

[simple frost]

Dang no more rock supports

Whose your normal fight?

Also which other strikers youve got?

Try using a rock egg support see if thatll help with the stat boost.

[half bone]

...Please for the love of god help, this fight is hell.

I have to pre-sync it but I don't have the damage.

[hybrid abyss]

you could always pray for SSBrock ROck Slide flinches

[half bone]

That doesn't solve for Healthy Advantage.

[hybrid abyss]

isn't there a plethora of strikers and supports who can accomodate for that?

[simple frost]

Just give them a status condition o.o

[half bone]

I can't use supports, it's strike/sprint.

[simple frost]

Discharge spam, and etc

[half bone]

Plus, they're all throwing out high power moves AND have paralysis automatically.

[simple frost]

Nc rosa can also put them to sleep if needed

[hybrid abyss]

yeah I don't understand the problem..

grab SSBrock, DPS, statu condition

[half bone]

Okay, how do I deal with the near instant-death then?

[half bone]

I'm already using flinch spam with Plumeria.

[hybrid abyss]

oh you're having both in one unit... Kahili endure tank ez

[half bone]

...She's barely got any levels. She's 125.

I can only get her to 130.

[hybrid abyss]

do you know the meaning of "endure"?

[half bone]

They throw multiple attacks at me.

[hybrid abyss]

spam TM, simple

[half bone]

Even my EX 150 Hilda was struglging to keep up.

And that does not solve the damage issue as this was with a rock striker.

[hybrid abyss]

that's why I suggested SSBrock to function as a utility pair instead.

[half bone]

That consumes so much gauge though.

Are you seriously telling me to basically use 8 bars a turn?

[oblique breach]

I am done

[simple frost]

Against palmer?

[oblique breach]

I use Kukui as tank

[simple frost]

Oh noce

Olivia wouldve been decent for points. Ah wells gj.

[oblique breach]

thanks

[half bone]

Why did you suggest Brock? He's doing less than nothing. He has gotten ONE flinch and hogged all my gauge.

and that one flinch didn't evne stop an attack.

[hybrid abyss]

hm... is there another "tanky" character that can support gauge?

oh yeah caitlin

[half bone]

THat only has two uses and that doesn't solve the problems of not being able to status while also buffing up and the inconsistent nature of Rock Slide.

[hybrid abyss]

did you try using both Plumeria and SSBrock? She does have Endurance on her grid if you want to gamble for flinch rng

[half bone]

I had more luck with Plumeria flinches.

[hybrid abyss]

Revenge Boost 4:

oh yeah status... just fix that with your DPS

there are a couple, + you can always rely on PB units

[half bone]

Hau is struggling to land paralysis while also getting pecial attack up.

[hybrid abyss]

.. why tf u using Hau out of all characters?

[half bone]

Then who?

[hybrid abyss]

jesus christ

[half bone]

You said 'Discharge Spam'.

He is the only qualifiying pair that has it.

[hybrid abyss]

wtf since when did I say "Discharge"?

[half bone]

Someone did, at least.

Rei did, sorry.

[hybrid abyss]

I mean.. if we can find someone who has a better para rate with Discharge, that'd be neat

[half bone]

I really don't want to have to use up something big, like Ss Lysander, just to get past this stage.

[hybrid abyss]

holdup what's your br role order lookin' like...

hm... I'm looking at it atm

it might be a good idea to throw him into the fray

[half bone]

Lovely. Power pair gone already.

[hybrid abyss]

eyyy your Solgaleo is EXed! They should be able to wipe the stage presync

You could also try Kahili, OP Striker EX, status condition applier

[half bone]

I don't want to burn my big stirkers this early...

[hybrid abyss]

waitaminute... that was Olivia so ig nvm

[half bone]

Solgaleo is EX too.

[hybrid abyss]

You only viable options really are either Solgaleo, SSLysandre, or brute force

[half bone]

I've been around long enough for that.

[hybrid abyss]

since they don't necessarily need sync, yyou could consider grabbing a pair that has some kind of sync move utility

wow... you have so many striker EXes that can counter the stage rather easily

At this point, I'd use up one of them, granted BR lasts only 10 stages

[half bone]

I guess maybe Iono?

For tank?

She's EXed, I just hesitate on using her so early.

Only middle has Healthy ADvantage too so...

[glass patrol]

Go buy a boost

[half bone]

THer'es nothing good.

At best, there's Rock Boost. That's it.

Buy more into an incredibly situational boost that won't see much profit in the long run.

that or Physical DAmage Reduction but I don't know if that even works on sync moves.

that is what's on offer.

[glass patrol]

whats the shiny thing

[half bone]

...what?

[glass patrol]

the yellow sun

[half bone]

Super Effective up

useless for htis battle.

Just getting a rock boost nad hoping that's enough.

[obsidian sentinel]

And done for the weak

How do I access the rewards shop without being in a rally?

[pseudo egret]

it's in the same shop tab

as everything else

bottom right corner iirc

when you tap exchange items

[half bone]

Rovk boost was enough.

though I still had to give up Lyssander for it...

[obsidian sentinel]

oh! that's new

[half bone]

well, it finally decided to give me an easy one on the next one.

[naive tendon]

is this worth it?

[timid hound]

Is that the one that protects from crit? If so, I'd say it's not worth

[half bone]

Alright, round 5... Is now a good time to pull the trigger on something like NC Leaf or Redchu?

Support/Field stage.

[timid hound]

Run triple support

[glass patrol]

i am of the opinion to spam 2x boost the second i see it

i have monkey brain

[half bone]

opponent is Steven and Metagros. Looks like a New Years event.

[timid hound]

Doesn't look gimmicky?

I'm not sure

[oblique breach]

I think I need a few more new pairs to get the sprint and fields I desire

[lost surge]

2 weeks in a row with 8x Sprint stages, also this week with garbage starting bonus (+ garbage shop items all the way),
so much fun
but then one shouldn't complain right?

[pseudo egret]

...well, at least it's sprint

it's not...field town...with villain boost...right...

[lost surge]

is it weak to grass?

[half bone]

Dark.

[lost surge]

it's electric boost.

[half bone]

Also, yeah, all support is NOT working.

[lost surge]

i mean, i'd rather have Field boost than Sprint

[hybrid abyss]

ooo... Cheren Crunch and Sawyer Dark Pulse Sounds fun

[half bone]

barely any damage.

[hybrid abyss]

There's always poison stalling :)

[half bone]

Screw it, I'm just gonna use NC Leaf.

[midnight kestrel]

just learned what apple cup does

[midnight kestrel]

run triple support, main gimmick of this fight is steven using crit next giga impact after syncing which can easily be bypassed with vigilance

[half bone]

too late, already did it.

Also, Galar Upgrade.

Thank god.

[lost surge]

don't do it

[midnight kestrel]

i’m ngl I did it for round 10 because i got the stupid anabel fight and i was already at like 7k points so i wanted to feel… the power 🤤

[lost surge]

should've gone Hard without Apple

[oblique breach]

Rock wasn't exactly the best upgrade

[midnight kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/get-this-man-a-shield-get-this-man-a-true-morgan-freeman-morgan-freeman-true-gif-25958604

[lost surge]

Phoebe electric-weak is taking barely any damage 🤔

[oblique breach]

And now I have Ice boost

[lost surge]

barely any damage while para.

[oblique breach]

I can't post images?

[lost surge]

not Ace

[oblique breach]

I think it was a connection problem on my end

And I meant here

[lost surge]

ye

why so low damage?

With para active

[half bone]

Is this the tea stage?

[lost surge]

Yes most likely tea party with LillieAlice stage

[half bone]

...Palmer.

It's Palmer for the last stage.

Should I just go down to Hard instead? I've got 71k points.

[austere cipher]

les go boys it's datamine time

[half bone]

Just did hard mode, let me get thorugh without using any extra points. Ended at 7600

[austere cipher]

we getting nc silver pogu

I got the sync move power lol. how many x do I want?

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-mushroom-cloud-atomic-bomb-bomb-boom-gif-4464831

[kindred seal]

Currently rushing to finish this because I forgot to do this this week

[urban ledge]

Good luck, 32 minutes

[obsidian sentinel]

32 minutes for 300 gems

[kindred seal]

I spent 150 points on Bianca VH on round 4 and gave up and am just doing the middle difficulty now

[obsidian sentinel]

Just stack a type/region

[urban ledge]

If all you want is gems, you can just plow through normal lol

[kindred seal]

Yup plowing through with Red Pikachu

[urban ledge]

Oh ffs

[naive tendon]

do rebuff and restrain count as status changes?

[kindred seal]

6k points 🥲

[urban ledge]

Oof

But hey gems

[kindred seal]

And the one ticket item lol

Just needed to buy 4 more from the rally shop so it's clear it should be fairly reasonable to get all of them for the month in time

What are the next things worth getting? The points don't expire, right?

[obsidian sentinel]

General mission, will ignore

[austere cipher]

I clutch 6k+ by doing easy on stage 7-8.
idk why I try hard on 10. forgot how thicc that stage. kek
glad I got the sync bonus lemao

really bad habit to do last minute holy

[naive tendon]

i didn't finish rally in time so i missed 300 😭

[gentle maple]

[hasty marlin]

...elite four...

[plush anchor]

Give me a big f in chat boys

[hasty marlin]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS MAP I WASNT READY FOR THIS

[lost surge]

71'000? Bro's insanely OP

[plush anchor]

Insanely Whaled, got triple rolex on each unit

[half bone]

...derp.

I meant 7100

typo'd.

[plush anchor]

I might just ignore getting a score this week

[rustic dagger]

Tf is this bs

[hasty marlin]

lets see... nywallace a4... ssac ncrosa a5...

[lost surge]

Not enough for 71k

[austere cipher]

my last run, btw I haven't got lucky stage lol.

need to burn the remaining ticks

[plush anchor]

Lucky stage would be a spit on my face

[lost surge]

At least you didn't get 8x Sprint two weeks in a row

[rustic dagger]

God i wish for that

[austere cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/chuu-loona-hamburguer-heart-heart-untitled127-gif-13827374

that's a lot of heart lol

[rustic dagger]

Being able to use Rosa effectively for almost the entire run is a godsend

[austere cipher]

field + sprint abuse = sst red + rosa abuse kek

[hasty marlin]

yeah, it sure is. least half of my rolexs are gonna be gone by a10 i think

[plush anchor]

Might need to use SSTred in every single level

[lost surge]

Tbh 8x support is arguably the best table, you always want dem supps

[plush anchor]

Only problem

Stage 10 is Supp field

Limits his dmging options

Hehe

[hasty marlin]

yeah, stage 10 is why im panicking

[plush anchor]

I might just have to figure a way to take SSTRed from Stage 1 to stage 10

[hasty marlin]

i have to pick one of the three supp rolexs for it

[lost surge]

Stage 10 you literally don't care, ever. Not like there are team options anyway

[plush anchor]

I don't think i have other options

[lost surge]

And you always bring the OP support

[hasty marlin]

i prob have to clear 8910 with
SS Serena SS Lusa NCBlue
SS Serena NC Serena NCBlue
NCBlue + Serena (either) +1

which means i am VERY restricted on reacting to the 8/9 stages

[lost surge]

What are the Round 10 possible fights?
Is there a Dark weak? And Ice?

[hasty marlin]

#1009557516369281075 UB clears doc

rock, grass, fire, water, ground, fighting iirc

[lost surge]

That doc shouldn't have the Rally exclusives clears tho

Ground
Oh no, don't tell me there's Ground

[hasty marlin]

it does. cause theyre confirmed to be upcoming UB fights

a10 is always a UB fight

[lost surge]

Unless broken OP Ground unit this anni?

[hasty marlin]

honestly lucy is clearable just fine with current units imo

shes only asking you to not get poisoned

thats... about it

palmer is the "problem child" (fighting weak) of the two cause he demands presync

[lost surge]

But the UB doc last time i checked didn't accept Rally clears.

[hasty marlin]

ON A UB

[hasty marlin]

yes, but it doesnt matter

their gimmicks are the same

so you can refer to there for info on the fights

[dense latch]

Suddenly those sync orbs look very attractive

In the shop

[rustic dagger]

lmfao

[hasty marlin]

how much we got in rallys shop?

[lost surge]

True for Pre-Max move (1 turn after sync) but we have OP fighting units and i managed to kill it... With some struggle first

[rustic dagger]

a lot

[dense latch]

100k

[hasty marlin]

the real things coming this month apparently so uh, i think im not clearing that

not till koraidon releases

[dense latch]

You can get all the power up cards all the candy coins and all the orbs for like 8000 average per run

[lost surge]

Not really. I'm sitting on 550k orbs

[hasty marlin]

thats not bad honestly if true

[rustic dagger]

im sitting on 90k orbs and wanna die

[hasty marlin]

till you realize its 100k per pair iirc or something absurd like that

[lost surge]

And always skipping them in the shop last 6+ months

[hasty marlin]

or was it 10k

[dense latch]

Well I guess for someone like me... alr😂

[hasty marlin]

i forget the exact number per 2 energy

[rustic dagger]

per pair assuming youre 5/5 its only like 1000

[hasty marlin]

yea it was 100k

just checked

[rustic dagger]

wait what????

[hasty marlin]

yep

HAVE FUN >:)

[rustic dagger]

they make us buy it???

[lost surge]

I probably can't clear that outside rally. My units are 1/5

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-laugh-evil-gif-23248842

yeah, they make us pay for it

[rustic dagger]

hello rally shop

[hasty marlin]

PER PAIR

[rustic dagger]

thats actually absurd

[hasty marlin]

its another fav-only investment like lv150 was meant to be

[rustic dagger]

except lvl 150 is sort of limited while sync orbs are not

[hasty marlin]

we finally have a orb sink, thats for sure.

[rustic dagger]

unironically costs me 100k for N

[lost surge]

They are tho

[rustic dagger]

what bs

[hasty marlin]

ive had excess certificates for a bit now, but orb im never gonna have excess for again idt...

which is gonna really mess with future gauntlets for me

gonna take atleast a year to get caught up on grids now

[rustic dagger]

thats generous

100k per unit thats 5/5

[hasty marlin]

tbf my fav list is really small

[rustic dagger]

u do the math

[lost surge]

100k each is insane, of DeNA doesn't change that then probably something happening soon (boost, more in shops/events/stuff)

[hasty marlin]

im only grid expanding favs

since they put such a absurd pricetag

[rustic dagger]

lol they put same price for everyone

cant wait for my tate to cost me 100k orbs

[lost surge]

+2 energy on a 1/5 unit is basically useless 99% of the time

6 energy on 3/5 could come in handy. I can definitely see some of my units waiting for the upgrate

[hasty marlin]

of the ones i need to expand that are 3/5+ or being candied there

1 Ethan
2 Serenas
3 Ns
1 Lillie
1 Riley
1 Brendan
1 Blue (I use zapdos way too much as an enabler)
2 Iridas
1 Raihan
...its a bit bigger of a list than i thought but its honest work.

[austere cipher]

||Geeta and Glimmoa: Field (Strike EX)||
||NC Silver and Tyranitar: Strike (Sprint EX)||

[lost surge]

My 1/5 summer Tell&Patt don't have such worries

[austere cipher]

time to go hard lol

[hasty marlin]

like 780k at 3/5 each
bolded my priorities, italicized a requirement

[lost surge]

Wait lemme check type real quick...

[lost surge]

2 Irida? You really use Lodge Irida that much?

[rustic dagger]

if he uses his faves religiously

[hasty marlin]

SC Irida, not lodge

Hisui Zoroark my beloved

i simp zoroarks and lycanrocs

meanwhile glaceon ive used a ton and i know from gridding in the past that energy is gonna be a lifesaver

especially in UBs

[hybrid abyss]

I'm gonna hate updating every pair to accomodate for the energy boost

[lost surge]

I see, didn't check Datamine. Now i see.
Damn you Dena i want to save not spend!!!

Hope: skippable half anni
Reality: ultra tempting for every single pair

[hasty marlin]

thankfully its all but 1 being a skip for me but god damn

[simple frost]

Hmm. Kalos theme + steel. Fighting zone buff too.

[crisp comet]

well i updated my SS Hilbert's grid with the +10 energy since he was 10/10

[simple frost]

The problem is this.... just THIS one.

[lost surge]

I'm gonna have to pull Glimmora. Rip gems.

[hasty marlin]

i think ive had this pool before actually

the supports suck tho

other than aaron

so im def having to hunt for a new boost

[simple frost]

i guess i'll clear CSMM first

[hasty marlin]

pfft crit rate up 3 sale but its support so uhhh

i think i can just run under assumption im not running out of critrate

[karmic briar]

we’re teching this

[rustic dagger]

hmm battle facility foe isnt that bad actually

one field stage and its all over though

oh lovely my stage 10 is sprint and field

[hasty marlin]

can yall tell me if stat down damage up is worth it here?

dunno if building around primarily ncblues debuffs is wise or not

[urban ledge]

I gotta do Villa first, THEN I’ll do rally

[hasty marlin]

on one hand, its guaranteed to effect my final team

on the other hand

the rest of the clear, how many debuffs will i realistically have

8-10 ill have blue in...

[quiet tiger]

"I wonder which new Sync Pair the game wants me to scout"

[timid hound]

You're gonna get some good mileage out of Victor/Spectrier

[hasty marlin]

hope you have sstred

cause he eats the map for breakfast

[timid hound]

Wait you're actually right

Rolex SSTRed eats this entire pattern up

You can run him from Area 1-10

That's so real

Good pattern this week

Poison Upgrade tho which is kinda pants

[hasty marlin]

using sheets to plan out my streak

[timid hound]

Looks solid

I just do it in my head

[hasty marlin]

well its a bit of an awkward a10 so im using to figure out the route i wanna go

[timid hound]

What's your A10?

[hasty marlin]

dont know, i dont use binoculars. these results are from the pomatools.

im only on a1 atm

roles are supp field in a10 so

its really restrictive for the clear

makes me have to do a8>a9 the way i scouted

[timid hound]

No SSTRed?

[hasty marlin]

i have him, yes

[timid hound]

Soooooo

[hasty marlin]

its just i cant lock myself out of my serenas

sstred also only 1/5

so

no nuke

[timid hound]

What does that mean?

Well

You could always bring someone else as nuke, like your rolex ssserena

[hasty marlin]

i think i have to commit to the damage boost of statdown, even if it might fuck over a5>7

[timid hound]

Ganba

[hasty marlin]

what does ganba mean

[jovial furnace]

Does rally reset on March 1st?

Or do I have to do it immediately coz I want to wait for a Rolex before doing it

[severe bronze]

shop reset yes

[hasty marlin]

...i think i wait for anni to do this clear

[severe bronze]

im waiting for geeta

[hasty marlin]

#datamines message

if this is what i think it is:

[timid hound]

It is exactly what you think it is

Free ||Lucas, CRed, or Gloria!||

[plush anchor]

Only those 3?

[timid hound]

I'm not sure, but the banner shows those 3

[severe bronze]

last year was also 3

i think?

[timid hound]

So one can safely assume those 3 would be included

[plush anchor]

I mean I will take it

[timid hound]

Could be more ofc, we don't know

[plush anchor]

But surely there is more

[severe bronze]

im taking red

will finally have all the reds

[timid hound]

They should make Chase an option and yes I am aware he debuted not even a month ago

[severe bronze]

hes featured in one of the select

im actually considering variety giovanni

[normal python]

Is Rei there

[severe bronze]

not in the free one

but select probably

[leaden wraith]

Rei is featured in a select banner, yes

[hasty marlin]

if its just these three then i take lucas, but im hoping

so i can finish my pf rerun list

[timid hound]

Nobody roast me but I didn't know Paulo's B Move Activation was HIS sync move — I thought it was any sync move

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

So the entire time I'm like PAULO WHY AREN'T YOU HOWLING

Just another one of those Rally runs

[severe bronze]

what the dog doin

[timid hound]

Its best

[severe bronze]

actually really nice to get paulo this time around

hes going to be the premium support picks for silver

[leaden wraith]

uh oh seems like im going to get the Sprint focused set

it requires Arena 2's roles to be known but the first one is Sprint / Field

[severe bronze]

4.5 anni and still no field/sprint or sprint/field

[timid hound]

Joever

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

My run has Poison Upgrade...

Wait for Geeta?

[timid hound]

I'm not guaranteed on her tho

[leaden wraith]

wait for better boost in shop

[timid hound]

But that requires spending medals!

And Arceus forbid I hand them over to Trinnia or whatever her name is

[leaden wraith]

luckily Emma and Oleana are returning soon

you know what that means

[timid hound]

Don't pull cuz I have them?

My poison box isn't that bad, but it's really all over the place

It's either like super stacked Emma/HIris levels or like Jessie and James

Eh I'll be fine. Maybe

Just give me Lucy A10

[leaden wraith]

toxic war

[timid hound]

Give her a taste if her own medicine

[severe bronze]

lucy isnt immune to poison right?

[timid hound]

Iono

[simple frost]

Hmm

[quaint star]

SS Dawn has SPrint cake

[timid hound]

But she's definitely the weakest UB power-wise

[timid hound]

I'm ready

[quaint star]

Well, she's going to be

[timid hound]

[quaint star]

On poma day tho. Still a long way

[severe bronze]

her sides are the toughest but yeah lucy herself only 300k

[timid hound]

The roster of support + sprint grows ever more

[severe bronze]

but two endurance cause why not

ss may getting field is also nice

not really sure why cynthia got strike instead of field but i guess they probably planned ghost field volo

[glass patrol]

I’ve used apple cup in most of my runs at this point

I’m still averaging over

[timid hound]

I want to taste apples in a cup

[hasty marlin]

[simple frost]

ROFL. almost got hyper beam'd by a jumpluff

[timid hound]

Real

Killing mid and seeing sides suddenly queue Hyper Beam induces trauma

[urban ledge]

Return of Silver’s Vileplume lol

[simple frost]

Nice. got Lucky in Area 4

unfortunately, strike + tech 😦

[timid hound]

Why unfortunately?

[hasty marlin]

I… am confused

How’d I get to 1200 of all numbers, thought I only spent fifty…

I think I did my math wrong

What’s vh score on 3 matching pairs again?

https://tenor.com/view/nouns-nounish-nounsdao-abacus-counting-gif-16562575250327679873

[stark dawn]

750

[hasty marlin]

ah, for some reason i wrote down 600 lol, that explains it. thx

[timid hound]

Guys, I have a problem

I forgot who I synced first with

LMAO

Time to do the 50-50

[hasty marlin]

i had trouble remembering that sometimes on my UB clear of ncerena ncalem and sclillie sometimes last week

[timid hound]

Real

Anyways I remembered I used Kiawe to sync left so yeah

[hasty marlin]

cause i wasnt staying consistent on order between calem and lillie syncs between attempts

[timid hound]

Haha, gotta remain vigilant

Wow Roxanne's sync damage is pants

Even Kiawe's does more and it's off type

[hasty marlin]

soooo
which fire support does the most ontype damage lmao?

[timid hound]

Probably Kiawe

[leaden wraith]

Torchic

no bias

[stark dawn]

definitely kiawe

bro has cs3 in his grid

[timid hound]

I didn't even know that

[hasty marlin]

what does a dps kiawe grid look like LMAO

[timid hound]

Grab CS3 and FC tiles?

Can probs leave some stat tiles for crit healing if you need it for some reason

Or Unfortuitous for funnee

[severe bronze]

marley has innate sync multiplier

[hasty marlin]

Is drake the cheapest e4 supp here

[severe bronze]

kiawe has it on grid i think

[timid hound]

What does cheapest mean

[hasty marlin]

i have to use e4 till i find a better theme

[timid hound]

Throw Drake ig

Can the shop please give me Crit Power Up

Tricia throw me a bone

[granite breach]

Since I forgot, to whoever used Steven&Ray to wipe weather against Anabel. I'm really grateful to you 🥲
It helped me a lot in stage vh 10

[timid hound]

That's so real

[hasty marlin]

Anyone know this stage

[stark dawn]

it's eusine's

[hasty marlin]

so i need to trap it prob... anything else needed? is there a f2p tech E4 that might be able to help?

Only used up one kiawe tm so he’s reusable

But other two are dry

[simple frost]

7.1k not bad i suppose

[fathom yacht]

900 AREA 10 LETS GO first 9k score

[simple frost]

Nice 😮

[timid hound]

[simple frost]

who did you fight? o_o

i got Thorton this week xD

[timid hound]

Did you fight Lucy

[simple frost]

Err Darach rather

[fathom yacht]

I had a tough choice to use either Cerena and Chalem on an early tech support stage, or NCLeaf

And i chose to save leaf and got thorton area 10

[timid hound]

A

[fathom yacht]

L + Ratio + Bozo

Nice stage 💀

[simple frost]

oh it is thorton 😮

[fathom yacht]

Yeah but i saved leaf specifically for thorton

SSBrendan is because of Dragon powerup

And he tanks ice moves and has potions

[simple frost]

I need more stuff

[dense latch]

anyone got a template for the SST Red stage? Keen to outsource some thinking to some pros... 😂

[fathom yacht]

BRO WTF IS THAT LINEUP ☠️

[simple frost]

7.1k get!

[fathom yacht]

I also didn’t use TRed at any point in my run so there’s that

[simple frost]

I dont really need 5star power ups so i'm focused on getting more EX role units

but basically my run.

[fathom yacht]

Honestly 7k into that is a miracle

Unless you have TRed then you prob clear ez

[simple frost]

I do haave SST Red

[fathom yacht]

No cake?

[simple frost]

caaked

[fathom yacht]

Why is he not on every stage that run lol

[simple frost]

Forgot xd

[fathom yacht]

You can grid tm mpr

Ah

[simple frost]

id get Grassy Terrain

also i didnt get like good Crit Ups either 😭

(I did find paralysis upgrades too early)

i just... completely forgot about SST Red :X

Still won enough.

[dense latch]

Im so confused with mine...

firs time I got this one

[simple frost]

aww that's actuaally a pretty soli line up if i ran Mix Red in the beginning 😮

[dense latch]

o yea mix red is 2.0

I also got Akari

its just annoying the overlapping Terrain

[simple frost]

terrain?

[dense latch]

so Ill prob take out SST Red to start with

[simple frost]

what cha mean?

[dense latch]

sst red mix red

[simple frost]

Oh Grassy and Electric. right.

[fathom yacht]

You wouldn’t ever use MixRed unless it was strike field though

[dense latch]

I have 2 of those

[fathom yacht]

And if it was you’d still keep tred on

So start with MixRed area 1

And then throw him out and put in Tred area 2

[dense latch]

yeap thats what Im thinking

[simple frost]

My god.

i think i fought 2 EBEs in Battle Rally today as well. :x

[timid hound]

Nice

This is so over

HE ONE SHOT BLUE

[urban ledge]

Poison type boost?

[timid hound]

You know it

Why did I even bring Pryce? This man is useless af

Okay easy clear

Just had to not get Dragon Pulse'd right out the gate

[plush anchor]

I swear this game is just trolling me at this point

[timid hound]

Maylene does not play

[surreal oasis]

Sleepy time, Galar upgrade and SE dmg boost

[plush anchor]

Please stop, i am already dead

[timid hound]

Joever

[dense latch]

you dont have field blastoise?

tech suicune

[plush anchor]

[timid hound]

Who?

[plush anchor]

5th anniversary units

How did I not pull them already

[timid hound]

Naruto be living on a different plane of existence

[dense latch]

smh

[simple frost]

Man, that VH fight.

[plush anchor]

Tank Red coming

[simple frost]

PFFT

-Stat : Power 3?

its possible.

what's the theme buffs? Kanto and Kalos?

[plush anchor]

Quick reminder, Annabel flinchable?

[plush anchor]

Yes,

All correvt

I got like 2 discounts on stats down

And every stage is field or tech, so SSTRed every stage

[simple frost]

NC Serena still around to punch Anabel?

[timid hound]

You know, for a support, NCRosa's damage isn't terrible

[plush anchor]

Yes

[simple frost]

have fun then. problem is no rain dance or something 😦

[plush anchor]

Tanking using Red

[timid hound]

Which one?

[plush anchor]

Third spot is may or winona

Sstred

[simple frost]

SST Red probably.

[plush anchor]

But is Annabelle flinchable

Because if yes, Stagger build coming out + winnona

[dense latch]

yawn* just do vh and call it a day 😂

[plush anchor]

You think I ever did less than vh

[timid hound]

So real

[simple frost]

Anabel hass resilence

You could try it

[plush anchor]

Oho

Good

Because both my water units died too early

Lol

[simple frost]

by burn i guess? not enough SP.DEF/DEF

yeah anabel's a nightmare

you could run actual UB Killers

like SS Kris if you still have her.

[plush anchor]

This will work, i didn't know i could flinch

Let me guess

Immune in sun though?

[simple frost]

yes

i think so >_>

you just have to turn off the sun.

[plush anchor]

Works just fine

[timid hound]

I'm so boned

[plush anchor]

If that Lucky stage was literally anything other than Field+Sprint
I would've done so much better

[plush anchor]

Come feel my pain

[timid hound]

Our pains are very different

[muted sparrow]

Should i Exchange Co-Op Sync Orb in Rally ?

[timid hound]

What's NCSerena's EX Role?

If it's support I'll cake her right now

[muted sparrow]

Yes, she is Tech/Support

[timid hound]

Deal

[simple frost]

what's the theme buff next to the Poison Upgrade?

[timid hound]

No gross

[timid hound]

Champion

[simple frost]

NC Serena still around?

[muted sparrow]

But 20k Co-Op Sync Orb for 2 Energy

[simple frost]

Poison is gonna be rough then :x

[simple frost]

20k Co-op Sync Orbs + a bunch more since you still have to exchange those co-op sync orbs to sync pair orbs

[timid hound]

Yes

But she's not role bonus

[simple frost]

she ddoes have Support EX Role.

[timid hound]

Yeah

But here's another issue

[simple frost]

hmm. SS Kris around?

[timid hound]

Ofc

But then I can't run SSACynthia and NCRosa for max bonus

[simple frost]

now all you need is a Poison-type that can help the team. A Support :x

[timid hound]

Probs Ball Guy

[simple frost]

workable.

[timid hound]

Hmmm

[simple frost]

try it first.

+200% stats for all 3 is gonna be nice.

and you're on-type as well.

the only thing would be, would you use EX Role on Serena? 😮

[timid hound]

Yes

I'm bursting with coins idm

[simple frost]

then have fun o/

[timid hound]

I'm more hurt by the fact I can't run SSACynthia and NCRosa

[simple frost]

i mean

itss Anabel

[timid hound]

Why

Why can't it just be Lucy

Hm, I should have Ball Guy tank right?

[simple frost]

Let's do the math then.
Lucy if you complete it with NC Serena (+2), SSA Cynthia + NC Rosa = 400 pts.
VS
VH Anabel if you complete it with NC Serena, Ball Guy, SS Kris (4) = that's 900 pts.

[timid hound]

I was half-joking but thanks for the math

[simple frost]

hmm

if you run NC Serena, SSA Cynthia and NC Rosa against Thorton

[stark dawn]

CHAMPION UPGRADE

[simple frost]

that's 800 points.

So if you get yeete by Anabel, you could run 6x points against Thorton :x

[stark dawn]

my rounds are terrible

[timid hound]

I'll never do anything below VH

[simple frost]

Oh wait

Thorton is only 700 pts nvm.

yeah its better to just do Anabel, you have the team.

[timid hound]

Ye

[simple frost]

if you still can't crack it, just buy another Champion Theme heh

[leaden wraith]

New record

Only a Champion upgrade is not enough to take down Anabel so i have to buy jelly

[severe bronze]

eggmon clear lets goo

[leaden wraith]

Quaxly landed the final blow too

[jovial furnace]

Thx game, I hate this

No striker I got have debuffs

[stark dawn]

Go off role

[plush anchor]

Where mix red

[dense latch]

Does this look workable?

@plush anchor

[plush anchor]

What are your bonuses?

Theme/crit etc

[dense latch]

-sp attack x 5

Lol

[plush anchor]

You probably suffer

[dense latch]

O real

What do I need

[plush anchor]

Either more boosts or infinite bulk

-sp attack x 5 ain't gonna make you survive after half way through

[dense latch]

OK let me see

[severe bronze]

just to be sure

mpizza restore bthunderbolt right

[dense latch]

I can get ice and rival bulk for 50 points but I run

Sst red ss steven silver
Or
Sst red ss steven ss n

Dang need grass rebuff

[muted sparrow]

I hate this

[dense latch]

Who is better 3rd here vs agenta

[simple frost]

Yes. Go nuts. 😮

[jovial furnace]

I am broke

[dense latch]

Shopify store. Paint some curbs. Dropshipping. Mow some lawns leshhhgo

[jovial furnace]

[timid hound]

If I am making 1/5 Ball Guy tank Anabel, he should have Flameproof LS right

[severe bronze]

ok this is funny

i didnt know snorlax had piercing blow

got giga impacted and dieded

[simple frost]

A win's a win.

did you grab the MPizza? I'm sure you could infinitely heal with NC Blue's BMove o_o

[severe bronze]

yup

only bough mpizza and 1 damage multiplier

no good role combo this week

[simple frost]

Infinite BMove SS Gladion

Yikess~

[severe bronze]

didnt get a single field/strike which i have two of

no strike/support either

[leaden wraith]

Is there any better tank? 1/5 wont survive long for sure

[dense latch]

Sad. I caked 2 extra units for this still low score lmao

[muted sparrow]

I have Anabel on Area 10 so i gave up and did Hard Thoron instead

[leaden wraith]

Yet you still did over 9000

[muted sparrow]

I have 14 Cake pair so 9k isn’t that hard ~~ Unless i meet Field/Sprint combo at Area 10 with bad theme upgrade~~

[pearl lion]

idk what to make of this

#3 and #7 will kill me

[muted sparrow]

Hey, that is set i meet too

[simple frost]

damn 3 and 7 ooof.

[leaden wraith]

I got cursed with 2 Sprint Field as well

[pearl lion]

at least I get to keep SST red all the way through?

till #10 ofc

time to throw a rat at BR

[severe bronze]

oh you got the same one as i did

[muted sparrow]

I hate Striker/Sup as an Area 1

[severe bronze]

wait nvm its different

[pearl lion]

I think Im passing on UB round 10 again

[severe bronze]

i got a2-b

my 5 rolex unit isnt usable for points

i hate it here

[oblique breach]

A2-B?

Are we giving codenames to the role bonus thingies?

[oblique breach]

Ah

Someone pin this please

[severe bronze]

my rolex unit that didnt get 2x multiplier bonus this run, mix red, nc nate, nc blue, zerena, sst red, nc rosa, ssa cynthia

[oblique breach]

I got B2

[normal python]

And that is a new record for me

I got Lucy and luckily I saved up my NC Blue and Zerena

I learned to appreciate region boosts more

[oblique breach]

D2 & E2 = hell for those with very few

[timid hound]

What can't Ball Guy do?

[oblique breach]

Appear for me

[peak gale]

Lucky me!!!

[timid hound]

That's so real

Why do you have 6 of that boost?

[normal python]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-korean-gamer-gif-20887482

[peak gale]

bought from shop

[timid hound]

Yeah but why

seems overkill

Live your best life tho

[peak gale]

my fairy buff wont be active tho so i will need all the buffs tbh lol

[timid hound]

Real

[peak gale]

hm last stage is palmer

[oblique breach]

I've been unlucky thus far

In genera

[quiet tiger]

Not bad all things considered. Had 4 Sync Move Upgrades and a Fighting one.

Now please release mode Field units I beg

[simple frost]

nice win 😮 did you buy any additional boosts?

[timid hound]

Poison x2 Champion x1

very comfy win

Just need to make sure you inflict Entei with not-sleep

[tame forge]

Good luck in best game mode this week

[oblique breach]

I got until Thursday to clear because I want to get the month in

[plush anchor]

Your points carry on to next month anyways

You can beat it, wait till new month hits our calendar, exchange with refreshed store

[wary kayak]

I think they might not have emptied the roll cake vouchers yet

I'm short by one myself

[lilac marten]

How many of these upgrades are worth buying?

Or how much of it would be enough to clear the whole rally?

[normal python]

It actually helped me a lot

[tame forge]

Galar the only one worth in this line up imo

You could get a consumable for stage 10

Before then it's kind of a waste

If you get the 50 cost crit upgrade, that's also really good

[wary kayak]

I like going for 3 stat multi and 3 dmg multi items.
This is splurging in comparison to what some others do, though

[tame forge]

You can do with less, it depends too much on your character box and your playstyle

It's okay to prefer comfort over point gain

[normal python]

Yeah, I kinda overdid it with 5 Sinnoh boosts against VH Lucy

[tame forge]

On my first day I bought a lot of apple cups

It's okay

[wary kayak]

Stat multi and dmg multi are additive with themselves but multiplicative with each other. So balancing both can get you better results than stacking one and neglecting the other

[peak gale]

Finally cleared. Was really annoying that I kept failing quad queue on leaf

[wary kayak]

600 pts spent on stat multi: 7× stats, therefore 7× Atk
400 pts spent on stat multi and 200pts spent on dmg multi: 5× stat (5× Atk) and 5× dmg multiplier = 25× dmg output for the same cost

[peak gale]

My best run til date

[tame forge]

Best run I spent 100

But didn't get that many points

Haven't found bonus stage yet, and not that many rolex

[oblique breach]

I used Brycen in a stage where the opponents use moves that he's weak to: Fighting

He managed to survive til the end because of a thing called Stone Cold Endurance MP Refresh

[quaint star]

This sounds like trouble

[tame forge]

Yikes

Can use Dahlia soon

[quaint star]

Damn, look at all those strikes

[oblique breach]

wow

[stark dawn]

yayyy

noland's gonna go crazy i can feel it

[quaint star]

Too bad no EX

[stark dawn]

what's the price of cake coin voucher already ? i bought all of them i cant check

[stark dawn]

WELL at the end of the month

[quaint star]

1200 each so 24000

[plush anchor]

Oui

[stark dawn]

ok

[quaint star]

Right, daily reminder to do this Rally before Friday since the shop will refresh by then

[plush anchor]

Daily reminder to get all your tix before friday*

[stark dawn]

not me waiting until friday to do the rally so I can buy a strike cake for Akari

[tame forge]

Mix red

[stark dawn]

(i already bought all cake voucher and power ups)

[plush anchor]

I didn't buy all powerups personally

Just gonna save for vouchers

I did an opsie

Last month

😄

So paying the price now

[stark dawn]

I have 1900 oop that's only 1 voucher
5 coins currently + 1 voucher + 30 daily tickets by friday so 6 more = 12 coins won't be enough for akari

guess i'll do rally today

[plush anchor]

I got 11k on me rn

Can get all power ups

Only remains 1200

But I recall doing some math and decided to save this month

Might be wrong and mixed up things so will re-math it after work

[stark dawn]

nah buy them

you should be good

[oblique breach]

You dpn't have them?

[plush anchor]

How many mondays we getting in march

[simple frost]

4

[stark dawn]

8k average * 4 = 32k vouchers, more than enough

[plush anchor]

And april was 5

Yeee

You right

Bad mathing moment

[stark dawn]

why does your calendar start on sunday

[plush anchor]

Mine does too, probably their week starts on sunday too

[oblique breach]

My calrndar starts on Sunday

[tame forge]

The week starts on Sunday for many cultures

[normal python]

Anyone else still shafted on the lucky levels?

[plush anchor]

Since it dropped

I used every single ticket

Only got 2 lucky stages

Basically

1 lucky per month

[normal python]

Like having no lucky stages at all

[oblique breach]

No lucky stages for me yet

And this is my 4th attempt

[plush anchor]

They say its 25% or something

Yet

It doesn't seem like it

[oblique breach]

2.5%

[severe bronze]

20%

[plush anchor]

See dem numbers

[stoic cairn]

anyone knows how to clear lucy

sprint and field role

[wary kayak]

...Feel like Monday is the start for more cultures than Sunday, from what I heard.

[stoic cairn]

i was hoping geeta can help

but it cant prevent poison

[wary kayak]

(Full disclosure: I live in a Sunday-first culture too, so my calendar app also puts Sunday on the left)

[severe bronze]

geeta could help

do you have oleana

oh wait field sprint urgh

[stoic cairn]

Geeta would be perfect but she cant prevent poison

i think

[severe bronze]

only field that debuff speed is caked sst red

she has antitoxin on her grid

[stoic cairn]

1/5?

[severe bronze]

yup she gets antitoxin 1/5

[stoic cairn]

oh great

[severe bronze]

but you need to debuff their speed

[stoic cairn]

i was thinking of using nemona her and ssa cynthia

how come

[severe bronze]

her multiplier comes from speed and poison

lucy’s

[stoic cairn]

oh

[severe bronze]

nemona has trip up but 3/5

[stoic cairn]

i have 4/5

[severe bronze]

nice

[stoic cairn]

the poison is the bigger problem

[severe bronze]

well that team can clear i think with enough boost

geeta and ssac can grab antitoxin from grid

[stoic cairn]

does her sludge wave have piercing gaze?

[severe bronze]

might need nemona to run antitoxin

yeah

[stoic cairn]

urgh

can i use nemona to evade sludge wave
