Battle Rally

[stoic cairn]

since she has that evasive boost

[long sparrow]

what is the chance of getting the lucky stage in the Battle rally?

[oblique breach]

low

Unrelated: thinking this should be the only thing I buy this round

[quaint star]

Good thing area 10 is Lucy

She got bullied, hard ||Triple Status Immunity||

[urban ledge]

Now give me my background

Alright now that I’m free to do rally again let’s see

Ooh basically a free ride for final UB fights haha.

[urban ledge]

Hell yeah that final round role

Now if only I can get VH Thorton…

Although…

Looking at it again this pattern is pretty annoying, can’t really stick with 1 pair for most consecutive rounds

[quaint star]

Let's hope for no Anabel or maybe Palmer

[urban ledge]

God forbid lol

[quaint star]

I am lucky since I've never met Palmer yet

[stoic cairn]

is she tanky?

actually tbh palmer is easiest to fufil conditions

[quaint star]

Well, I don't have a damage dealer there, but I needed Nita for Battle Facility Foe bonus

She's pretty harmless without poison

[stoic cairn]

yea

im annoyed cos mine was sprint field

i was trying to get nemona to evade her sludge wave

[prisma gyro]

This week I get the same rally stages as I did last week... the sst red special

I get to learn from my mistakes I guess?

[quaint star]

The number of field

[karmic briar]

Is that SprintField?

[hybrid abyss]

3 of them

[stoic cairn]

at least his sprint field isnt arena 10

[karmic briar]

And at least an ex role sstred is covering everything

_ or a Rolex Hviola_

[fickle drum]

out of my 12 rolex'd units there's only 5 units that can be double matched

[urban ledge]

The stars aligned LMAO Thorton didn’t know what hit him. Walked away with all cake vouchers and 5 star powerups with a few points to spare, ready for March.

[urban ledge]

Holy crap I didn’t know you could get THREE Sprint/Fields

[plush anchor]

Didn't see my run?

And my last VH was anabel

Thankfully, SSTRed played every stage

[prisma gyro]

3 of them

[karmic briar]

Stolen from here

[pearl lion]

DAMNIT

Only sprint and field units left are sst red and ssa cynthia

RIP that lucky area

[hybrid abyss]

gambling time

[dense latch]

For newer accounts is it worth getting the orbs with this? Or save for next month

[hybrid abyss]

save just in case

[nimble holly]

Worth

Since now its need

If pick cake and gold powers up go for it

[dense latch]

Yea if I get average 8k I would always have enough for the coins and cards right?

[nimble holly]

Yeap around 8+

I need now 8500 for last cake for today

Got morning 9250 but suks match ups

[dense latch]

Hmm why would you be missing

Did you spend everything 1st time it released?

[nimble holly]

Since pick orbs and power ups

Yes spend

[tame forge]

Well that's something to look forward to

Might use Rosa, Rei and Cynthia

Actually SST Red prob safer

[hybrid abyss]

or jsut save both:

[tame forge]

I could

There's another sprint field earlier but ig I can get around it with weaker pairs

[stark dawn]

I got a water weak acerola stage, with dark weak sides..?

And she sets ghost zone before sync

Was that related to the kalos NC ? I can't remember

[tame forge]

Seems likely

[karmic briar]

I guess so

[stark dawn]

Sorry Lance but you're gonna experience death

[karmic wraith]

YOU

[glass patrol]

You

[karmic wraith]

its THAT kris stage

worst goddamn stage to get in rally 💀

[karmic briar]

Better stage 2 then 9

[hybrid abyss]

wait why?

[karmic wraith]

i dont wanna burn sst red this early lol

[tame forge]

Red boosted

Oh

[karmic wraith]

its from the threads of strength event

meaning

designed around sst red and ssa cynthia

they all have clear advantage

and its a seed where i dont know the rest yet

[hybrid abyss]

I mean.. it can't be that bad. If you got even 1 weather support option, it should be relatively good

could also try poison stalling

[karmic briar]

Or just brute force it since it’s area 2

[stark dawn]

I think that's a PB

[tame forge]

Yeah area 2 is whatever

[karmic wraith]

no matter what i get next sst red wont be a bonus on stage 4 so yeah not burning him now

[hybrid abyss]

holdup... lyra exists. you can literally throw her in with whatever boost qualification bs and win

[stark dawn]

yeah ss lyra's a free win on any round except 10

[karmic wraith]

i think he meant normal lyra

cuz support bonus

[hybrid abyss]

solarize be like:

[karmic wraith]

got it with ss kris, sonia, and maylene

sonia dps lmao

the sides are fighting weak i should mention

[granite breach]

Out of curiosity, the bonus round can be on the 10th floor too?

[stray ravine]

you mean the lucky stage? no

only on 1-9

[tame forge]

I'm still bonusless

[fresh holly]

10,000 sync orb trade worth now.

[tame forge]

Palmer last stage, we doing mid difficulty for the first time

[fresh holly]

5000 pts for 100k making sense today

[stray ravine]

ngl I forgot that exchange is a thing, PUs looking even less enticing for me now

[fresh holly]

Yeah don’t forget reset in 3 days

I’m trying to decide if I want the orbs or not

Ruins my stash basically going into next month with only 1000

Vs 11k

Did anyone see an extra rally ticket in the datamine

[granite breach]

thanks ^^

[tame forge]

Missed 4, close enough

[grizzled gale]

I got a lucky stage strike / sprint, but I have another one coming up later. Will I get the same number of points regardless of if I use my two Strike / Sprint EXR pairs now or later?

[hybrid abyss]

depends really. have u tried using the BR tracker?

also u can use the same units for both rounds since lucky stages are trivial.

[kindred seal]

Are the next best thing to buy in the shop, or hold on to the points until the next refresh?

[hybrid abyss]

hold on, especially if you're worried about getting the cake tickets next month, as you can always buy the PUs in the next month if you have extra anyways

.... unless u have an overflowing amount, which is not the case

[grizzled gale]

I cannot use the same units for both rounds because I have different stages in between

Also what is the BR tracker. I’ve only seen the PomaTools one that lets you see the upcoming stages. It doesn’t count points

[hybrid abyss]

ah... that's the one

at this point, just throw in any filelr strikers

save those rarer sprint/field role/rolex units

[hasty marlin]

hey, how many variations of the rally role bonus chart end in as bonuses in A10?

curious of how common that ending of rally is, just a random thought that came to mind

[hybrid abyss]

assuming the chances are equal, 1/10

[hasty marlin]

for the Eusine stage, who's prob the most useful

figuring out my E4 slot before i figure out dps

using kiawe as tank for this fight

since still have 1x tm 2x pot

[distant vault]

there's one Field + Sprint and one Sprint + Field for Area 10

[hybrid abyss]

Choose your DPS first; there exists an E4 member that can cover an aspect of the team already.

[hasty marlin]

didnt notice till just now sides have wise x2, should i use Sydney then?

[hybrid abyss]

If you can make him work, I guess.

idk your boost(s) tho

[hasty marlin]

stat down dmg up x1, e4 x1, its r3 atm

trying to find a better theme atm still

[hybrid abyss]

Kiawe, Bertha, OP DPS ez

sand slinger my beloved

[hasty marlin]

managed to do sidney + lodge lillie + kiawe

i think that was budget enough

[hybrid abyss]

sounds so

at least now you can go all out

[hasty marlin]

yeah, cause rest of the chart is pretty set in stone

mm, damage boost rebuff.

honestly its tempting cause all my remaining teams can fit rebuff

but it also thins my hunt tremendously for the theme...

[hybrid abyss]

if you don't need it, don't get it

[hasty marlin]

im a tad worried about this strip here being possibly debuffless for 2/3 fights

and then after that i dont exactly have e4 lol

so its kinda a lose/lose i think

decided to spend summer n as a debuffer on bug karen just now, and caitlin tank

trial giver are you KIDDING ME GAME

[hybrid abyss]

holdup... that's actually not so bad, considering the 2nd half of your sheet

well... more like the last few fights

[hasty marlin]

it still leaves A8/9 boostless

and idk if these would be good for third slot UB

[hybrid abyss]

oh nvm I misread

I assumed the bottom was the higher area

ok that makes more sense

[hasty marlin]

i formatted it like how the rally itself does

[hybrid abyss]

that rebuff bonus looking juicy rn

[hasty marlin]

i already skipped rebuff bonus, i can make good use of stat down its just gonna be real rough if i get a bad UB at this rate

if i get thorton im COOKED

bro wtf is this team for ghost lucian

LMAO

i dont even know how im gonna stat debuff with these 5

[hybrid abyss]

iirc, doesn't Glacia have unfort.? also you got a ontype nuker right there.

you could opt to LS someone for DC2/MG2 with an extra slot.

[daring peak]

Unfortuitous 9

Lowers one of the target's following stats by one stat rank at random when the user's attack move against it is successful: Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed, accuracy, or evasiveness.

Sync Pairs with Passive:

Eve (Poké Kid) & Eevee
Sygna Suit Hau & Tapu Koko
Volkner & Raichu
Red & Venusaur
Professor Oak & Mew
Burgh & Leavanny
Lillie & Clefairy
Penny & Sylveon
Player & Alcremie

[hasty marlin]

nope, glacia doesnt have unfort

she has fort instead XD

[hybrid abyss]

you migth want to consider sacrificing a bit of bonus reward multiplers just to make this work.

[hasty marlin]

...i think after reading ssacs 2/5 grid

that i commit to her a candy early

cause i know im 3/5ing her anyway

[hybrid abyss]

idr her having debuffs

[hasty marlin]

the mprs and triage tank will prob help me with rally

i gave her dc2 ls

she gets pot mpr and tm mpr 2/5 and triage tank

i think thats enough for me to see a difference in this scenario

that was an interesting sight. seeing lodgerola oneshot lucian.

sooo, being offered normal boost now

what do we think

btw next stage is ground bruno

honestly surprised how smoothly this has gone, for only spending 100 pts so far

(even if it did mean using a support candy for insurance lol)

leaning toward this so far for a7 btw, since sprint field means i will have to go a stage without theme boost either way unless i get Champion or something next shop

do yall think Bertha could work for a6?

well, bertha went better than expected considering bmove + mad strength was only atk sources

https://tenor.com/view/daiya-no-ace-what-loading-waiting-dots-gif-16949944

this is...

keldeo's stage... right...?

[hybrid abyss]

I'd assume so

[hasty marlin]

why the TARNATION does it have to be the field sprint

[hybrid abyss]

at least you have an ontyp option

do they get fuild fortification or some bs?

[hasty marlin]

i think this is it?

i uh, dont think i can lower both defenses

hm, grass. not quite what im looking for on supp/field UB.

if i had mix red, sure, but i dont.

i was initially thinking riley but now im kinda thinking gladion if im doing this stage without stat boosters

dont wanna spend redchu over this...

ill try riley first ig...

[hybrid abyss]

you could probably outlast that stage with potions

[hasty marlin]

thankfully ive made sure to preserve a tm mpr and all potions into this stage for the supports

well thats a problem

[ionic sigil]

So Re: Anabel last week’s discussion: MPizza not working so looks like I’ll have to buy another Ice Upgrade to clear

[hasty marlin]

i dont think i can statdown him

i even +2'd rileys grid for this

[hybrid abyss]

did you try sleep stall/strats?

[hasty marlin]

im pretty bad at sleep chaining. like, really bad at it.

[ionic sigil]

If Poison is a problem, SSA Cynthia has Antitoxin on her 3/5 grid

[hasty marlin]

ssac is only 2/5

but the problemn is i cant kill by sync

[hybrid abyss]

I didn't specify sleep chains (you can't on 3v3 unless you do frame perfect quadqueues anyways)

[hasty marlin]

cause cant statdown this fucker

[ionic sigil]

Actually, double check to see, might be lower like 2/5

[hybrid abyss]

looks like if you can slot in a few extra moves, you'd be able to wipe out mid. try it; who knows?

[hasty marlin]

oh shit she does have it on there

traded tm mpr for antitox since ill be dropping her out after this fight anyway

[ionic sigil]

Sprint/Field right?

[hasty marlin]

yeah

i also have ss gladion available

[ionic sigil]

No SST Red?

SS Gladion is probably worth a try too yeah

[hasty marlin]

i have red but if its darach UB ill prob need him

[jolly hearth]

Always wanted this 🙏

[hasty marlin]

got through with gladion

that bmove really comes in clutch

im getting REAL worried by the absence of themes guys

Bro what battle is this

I don’t remember a fucking Steven excadrill???

[hybrid abyss]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ionic sigil]

I tried Vigilance with NC Serena but still no luck. The second sync just destroys everyone even with Vigilance.

Should’ve just done Lucy after all

[urban ledge]

Halloween 2023 remember

Steven was invited to discuss Runerigus among other experts like Roark and Lenora, and Cynthia jumpscared everyone by showing up uninvited

… because the meeting spot was the ruins and that’s where she hangs around LMAO

[hasty marlin]

bro HOW DO I BEAT THIS STAGE

BLUE FUCKING DIED

and mid barely gets hurt...

...i now remember the stage.

this is the one that i had to fucking haze aint it

[urban ledge]

Watch out for head smash

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/tidur-tidur-terus-ngantuk-kuburan-receh-gif-12795215

[urban ledge]

I also got that stage and had to keep reloading until Roark stopped spamming Head Smash lol

(It was a Strike Field stage so no tank for me)

[hasty marlin]

my teams preset, i cant afford to use blues tm or bmove

WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO

[urban ledge]

… well other than fake tank Caitlin

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/aaa-gif-1155116025040809968

im buying another damage boost from stat down

[hybrid abyss]

Catalytic Cure 2 fishing:

[hasty marlin]

i even boosted blue and serena grids and i am still struggling and i am low on orbs now

theres nothing else i can do to help this team... itd cost me 100 points to grab either Super Effective Popcorn or SPATK Jelly.

[hybrid abyss]

you could walways keep trying until you fish enough flinches

[hasty marlin]

i need to figure out what to do with serenas grid and blues grid cause clearly i need something to raise my chances at success here

do i ditch serena tm mpr and pray i dont need her tm for 9/10?

[hybrid abyss]

inotial guard, offensive debuffs, uh

perhaps? idfk

[hasty marlin]

...im lowkey tempted to try to put lusamine as the tank

cause her 1/5 ass aint doing SHIT

right now after going back to square 1 on these grids

im 1 energy short of grabbing HE2+Gobsmack

if the strat is "just dont get hit LUL" maybe dropping vigilance for this fight... is the play...

[hybrid abyss]

yeah could be. the problem is that TM MPR also costs the same so

[hasty marlin]

tm mpr costs 7, vig costs 10, for blue

lkflksa;sldk WE DIE TO SYNC TOO???????????

WHAT THE FUUUUUU

[hybrid abyss]

that's why I suggested fishing for NCBlue's flinches

That's what I had to do during my last BR run

[hasty marlin]

i did... and they have enough tms to reach sync, nitsua.

https://tenor.com/view/aa-aaa-cat-hi-gif-14227049

[hybrid abyss]

idk man

[wary kayak]

Getting this far was rough, but then I realized I can use Riley twice in a row and Rosa four times in a row.

[hybrid abyss]

Riley would also benefit on A6 via dual role bonus

waitaminute... A9-10 is also...

[wary kayak]

That's exactly why I added him, and then noticed he can stay for two rounds

[wary kayak]

Now, now. I'm saving Gladion for that

[hybrid abyss]

If you have NCNate, that's another dual slot

[wary kayak]

Hm! Good idea, I just might do that!

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-meme-insane-cat-crazy-cat-losing-grip-gif-11149138922135425545

im going insane tonight

its confirmed

[hybrid abyss]

If you want to save some of your sanity, you could get that SE boost

[hasty marlin]

problem is ive alr proven to myself this is possible

my brain wont allow me to spend now

GET ZERO TURNS ROARK

GET

ZERO

TURNS

REEEE

idc that it costed blue's tm anymore

i have serenas tm still

thats all that matters

[hybrid abyss]

Y'know... you could've grabbed Blue's TM MPR...

[hasty marlin]

i did

but it didnt proc that run

[hybrid abyss]

A10 is gonna suck

[hasty marlin]

the grids

https://tenor.com/view/no-no-wait-wait-gif-7943393321508111309

what battle is this

i am scared

a 2023(?) bug unit

WHO

WHO WAS THIS ADVERTISING

these passives are uh, something

[hybrid abyss]

Unreleased Pasio Champion Stadium?

Dark Zone... either HViola or the SC Subway Brothers

[hasty marlin]

teams double serena + ncblue... who do i tank with for this fight... and what serena grid do i use...

[hybrid abyss]

presync, else you die to zone boosted sync

[wary kayak]

Oops All Bug Weakpoints sounds really awful with how such a large percentage of the usable ones are Limiteds

[hasty marlin]

neo calem didnt exist when sc subway bros released idt

[hybrid abyss]

this just looks liek some postgame custom stage at this point

[hasty marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/tidus-haha-lol-laugh-final-fantasy-gif-11720324

[hybrid abyss]

Bug unit for April 2024!?!?!?

[hasty marlin]

it feels like the game is playing this clip on repeat

i kinda regret not taking Galar atp

150 spend so far... isnt too bad till you realize im most likely having to use a support E4 member in the UB

[hybrid abyss]

fish turn 1 flinch, then get your first sync on turn 2 due to sync accel shenanigans. try to achieve the same thing for the 2nd sync.

[hybrid abyss]

hard moe retreat:

[hasty marlin]

7250 in 8 battles is pretty good tho, 7400 excluding spends

right?

[hybrid abyss]

should be, considering your horrid rng

[hasty marlin]

the fact i did two actually hard battles without stat boosts alone im proud of atp

cause both keldeo BC and the Halloween 2023 battles in 7/8 respectively,

on plus side, ill have almost every UB answer unit open still going into A10

so i stand a good chance at doing something in there

just did the math, hes got 231.68k HP for me to get through if i understand scaling right

which is... yikes...

no clue how high his defenses are

[hybrid abyss]

I do believe that NCSerena can... under optimal conditions

[hasty marlin]

these arent gonna be optimal conditions lmao, no serena bmove if i want to answer certain ubs

[hybrid abyss]

ig you're praying for flinches again

[hasty marlin]

yeah sounds like it

do i go for the dark nuke to have higher flinch chances?

[hybrid abyss]

oh... well if you're trying to save her BMove, then that'd definitely be the play

[hasty marlin]

...i just realized something.

does cerena max her own crit in one tm usage...

i had to put phone on charger for rn cause 10% battery warning, game lags at like 5%

[hybrid abyss]

yeah... why? I thought this was common knowledge

[hasty marlin]

...thank god, i wanted to make sure cause of the fact blues tm is gone

i use the frogs together a lot so i wasnt quite certain if it fully maxed or not

depending on how the stage goes i might have to abandon zygarde this battle, but ill find that out later tonight ig

[nimble schooner]

Hell yeah just got 9425 points this week

[hasty marlin]

sooo just to get an idea, are there any UBs id absolutely get blasted by with this roster atm?

UB: Fight Unknown (on A9 atm)
Boosts: Stat Down DMG x3, E4 x1

might candy redchu, honestly, dunno yet. kinda on the edge between him and gloralt still

[wary kayak]

Hm... I could use Mix Red and Neo Nate, but neither has Rebuff. I could add rebuff by bringing Neo Rosa, but then I'm missing a role bonus...

And the Psy upgrade means I can't just throw Neo Blue at it

[ionic sigil]

SST Red by far imo

He’s pretty nuts still

[hasty marlin]

problem is, sstred isnt exactly a fav but i recognize hes really really strong. gloralt is a fav.

thats what makes it tough haha

[ionic sigil]

He is also Field

With EX Role

[wary kayak]

Glorialt... Hunh, I did just get her, she's ontype, and she has rebuffs. Hm.
(I realize you aren't talking to me, but you might've helped anyway)

[hasty marlin]

she doesnt match either of your role bonuses tho

[wary kayak]

Wait, she's not Striker? Damn it

[ionic sigil]

She’s also good but nothing insane imo. If she gets a good EX Role then maybe

[hasty marlin]

shes tech

[wary kayak]

Literal soccer striker isn't a striker

[hasty marlin]

ikr

[wary kayak]

Arceus damn it

[timid hound]

No rolex NCBlue?

[wary kayak]

I can but I need a Psychic

[ionic sigil]

3/5 SST Red has gotten me out of a few tough spots in Rally still

[timid hound]

Who else is on the team?

[wary kayak]

This is plan A; plan B is with LuSSamine in Cait's slot (Alola Spirit to blunt Articuno's special attacks)

Cakes not yet invested as you can see

[hasty marlin]

do you not have the cakes for those two?

[quaint star]

How many boost? I don't remember Thorton being that troublesome so you might win with 4 stacks

[ionic sigil]

Oh great, here we go again…

[hasty marlin]

yep this is the exact boost im suffering through

[quaint star]

Could be worse. Could be villain

[ionic sigil]

Would sure be nice if Fall Caitlin counted

[simple frost]

What about your shop? Anything?

[ionic sigil]

First round so nothing great yet

Just finished ramming my head into a wall to get through Anabel after 45 mins

[quaint star]

I got battle facility foe, but turned out it's not that bad since I got to use the chatelaines

[ionic sigil]

Hail chip damage got me the win of all things

[wary kayak]

I have 0 cakes but I do have 19 striker coins, 0 field coins, 20 coin vouchers, and I can just toss five Daily Vouchers in for the remaining missing coin

[ionic sigil]

Battle Facility Foe also has some random units iirc

[simple frost]

20k per hit. Its great xD

[ionic sigil]

I think E4 and Trial Giver are the worst personally but could see Villain also being another problem

[hasty marlin]

id cake red since hes really good in this mode apparently

at the least

heard a lot of people who have him getting good runs with him

[wary kayak]

I mean I can easily cake both

[hasty marlin]

if you dont have a better field cake target id also do nate, any more field/sprint pairs you can get makes good scoring in rally easier imo

[wary kayak]

Cakeable and already-caked.

Actually, caking Red means not being able to cake Blue for a while. But I feel like that might be worth the risk

[stoic cairn]

what is this lucky area?

[wary kayak]

Small chance to spawn. No danger, doubled rewards

[timid hound]

In all my rallies I've had it spawn once

To date we've had lile what, 10?

[hasty marlin]

functionally its like a bonanza stage. 600 base points

[wary kayak]

...oh.

I have 18 field coins. I got the color mixed up with sprint coins

Soooo I could cake Neo Blue next week p easily if needed

[hasty marlin]

i honestly think i grab the from rally this month instead of any with my excess medals

[stoic cairn]

oh so its like free VH ?

[hasty marlin]

yes, but double that of a VH stage

[wary kayak]

So I think my plan is to use Mix Red, Neo Nate, and just... sacrifice a role bonus to bring Neo Rosa

[hasty marlin]

vh base is 300

[stoic cairn]

Ohhh nice

[hasty marlin]

yea ima go ahead and grab half these tn since im almost broke on them due to the grid energy expansion update

[wary kayak]

Is there a cheat sheet for particularly worthwhile expansions to do? I eventually realized most 1/5 and 2/5s don't need it since they already have the energy to reach everything

[hasty marlin]

cause like 60k per pair is painful (at 3/5)

[hasty marlin]

i did it for ssgladion without hesitation last night, ncblue adds some nice build options too. iridas gonna have some nice routes open up with the energy too

but im prioritizing my options for rally first since itll be another orb source

in mass

[wary kayak]

Hm... Thank you

[hasty marlin]

what id advise is using pomatools to plan out some routes for extra grid energy, and just invest the bare minimum extra energy to fit your new route if itll give you satisfactory results

[timid hound]

Time to get creative

[hasty marlin]

and prioritize favs too, since itll take time for most people to catch up on the demand now

gladion i knew i needed from when i pulled him for his accuracy tile to fit in my build, and ncblue opened vigilance+synchro heal+debuffs+HE2

just as a couple examples

[timid hound]

How bad is the sync orb cost???

I haven't taken a look but

[hasty marlin]

20k per 2 points

[timid hound]

Oh my

[hasty marlin]

yeah

[timid hound]

That's a bit...

[quaint star]

To be fair, at one point, you will be swimming in orbs

[hasty marlin]

yeah, im using the rally shop to help me play catchup with orbs due to this. i thought i was swimming in them till this update swept that rug out from under me

[timid hound]

I have 700k orbs and idk if that's enough

[hasty marlin]

my fav list that i wanna expand asks for 780k total.

820k if i wanna do the 5/5 expansion in that list

[urban ledge]

…

Oh goddammit

[timid hound]

That's such a good A10 pattern tho

[urban ledge]

Is missed 0.5 multiplier last run

[hasty marlin]

then +60k ontop of that if i candy sstred, i think

[timid hound]

You're set

[urban ledge]

No no I finished it

But I forgot I had caked SS Gladion

To do area 9

[timid hound]

Oh kek

[urban ledge]

Forgot to field him

[timid hound]

Real

[urban ledge]

That’s 150 points down the drain

And yeah final fight was hilarious

Bro didn’t know what hit him

[timid hound]

Pyro Ball him into next week

[oblique breach]

Not using my Rei kust yet because high risk of Palmer

[timid hound]

That's always the correct move

Same for NCHop

[hasty marlin]

I just used his own dark zone against him.

...hi darach.

i was right to save sstred.

now who to accompany 1/5 exr red

both serenas have full kits open, only used thing is ncblue tm

[timid hound]

Bring in some other support

[hasty marlin]

ill try aaron for the e4 bonus

for some reason my red still has stoic from gauntlet lol

[timid hound]

Real

[hasty marlin]

halved my spending record yet again

9050 scored, 150 spent, 8900 medals.

[timid hound]

So real

[hasty marlin]

for how shit my rng was being, im happy with that run

cant empty PUs this month so not gonna bother with that trade, did empty the orbs though.

6825 medals going into next month

[timid hound]

Nice

[simple frost]

Oh that bug calem. He was tough o.o

[hasty marlin]

I ended up using his dark zone against him to delete him even with only +2 atk +3 crit

Honestly was easier than expected considering how little I had from shops

[simple frost]

I had infinite grass terrain. And unfortuius 9 mix red hehe

Stilk needed 2 syncs to kill him

[quaint star]

Yeah, M Red trivialized my last one.

[obsidian sentinel]

[sudden flower]

Can't we get lucky stage by using see all scope

[vast narwhal]

When does one need to buy an item from shop

And when enough is enough?

[west abyss]

Basically just try and stack your beginner upgrade if it's a good one, as much as you need to for the harder battles. If it's something that doesn't work great for your roster, you can scour the shop for a better theme and stack that, or something like the crit bonus

If you're unable to do VH, don't buy the Apple Cup, just resort to Hard instead

[timid hound]

One day I will taste apples in a cup

I want to feel the skill rush through my veins

[obsidian sentinel]

It's worth it every now and then to feel power

I should try it with eggs

[west abyss]

Definitely give it a try at least once

It's fun

[half bone]

what all should I spent the rewards on?

role cakes, of course, but what else?

[grizzled gale]

Sorry, asking my question again since I can’t find the answer - I have a lucky strike / sprint stage now and one later on. I have 2 Strike + Sprint EXR pairs. Willl I get the same amount of points overall no matter which stage I use them? Or will I get more overall points if I use them on the Lucky stage?

[timid hound]

[half bone]

I guess but I have over 300 of those.

[timid hound]

Always try to maximize lucky stage bonus since the base is very high

Like 600 (VH is 300)

[grizzled gale]

And adding more roles is multiplicative?

[half bone]

Strike+Sprint is a 2x bonus.

[timid hound]

It's additive

[half bone]

Instead of a 1.5 bonus from either alone.

Basicaly, you get a 50% boost for every role you fill, and EX roles make them count as two.

[half bone]

I have over 300, are those realy that valubale with the maount I have?

[timid hound]

I'd say so yes

Cake voucher comes first tho

[half bone]

got them all already

what about after them though?

[oblique breach]

Got a Hoenn boost

• Ice boost

[heavy fjord]

so i got flying weak Diantha with Support Field boost for stage 5 and i have one thing to say

why does this stage have Crit Shield

[timid hound]

Lisia Defog to the rescue

[hasty marlin]

Except lisia is tech is she not

Mex just said support field

[timid hound]

Just brute force through it

Trade in that CS2 for PF3

[heavy fjord]

i did end up just brute forcing my way through it

thank you early game supports for having innate nukes

[timid hound]

Fanfare Skyla is so real

[heavy fjord]

wasnt even using fanfare tbh

but yeah, she was the nuker and Dawn was the DPS

[timid hound]

So real

[sudden heron]

This is tf is this set, needing a lot of unit swapping

[timid hound]

That's a very good A10 pattern

[quaint star]

Everyone is encouraged to stack an upgrade at least 3 times so you have 500% stats to work around with

I'm still not sold on buying other upgrades or temporaries

[leaden wraith]

if you have a good roster and/or smart teambuilding you can buy nothing until A10

[quaint star]

Yes, but I'd take comfy grind over save scumming

[leaden wraith]

yeah i get that, but some people want to preserve much point as possible

[obsidian sentinel]

Crazy people

[heavy fjord]

i ended up buying the 4 hit dango or whatever its called today so i could no boost Area 9

it wouldve been worth it but then i got Thorton for Strike Support Area 10

with both my strike supports being ice weak

[timid hound]

Me

[leaden wraith]

i didnt either

[stark dawn]

That's what I did on the 1st rally

It's not super fun ngl now I just buy 2 upgrades on the way, it's not expensive and makes things way easier

[heavy fjord]

yeah i just buy a couple upgrades as well, still getting like 8k points a run

[oblique breach]

FINALLY LUCKY

[timid hound]

Real

[simple frost]

last week i got lucky. and this week i got lucky as well 😮

[oblique breach]

Darach on hard is hard

No compatible Hoenn or Ice

And it's Support Sprint bonus

[oblique breach]

This is as far as I went

[leaden wraith]

can you send your Hoenn and Ice roster? a good defensive support that gets boosted instead of Ingo makes the clear easier

[leaden wraith]

can you try Glacia? with full grid and Team Toughen Up gridded

[oblique breach]

Never thought I'd have to use Glacia to save my skin

but here goes

[leaden wraith]

she is much better with expanded grid

[oblique breach]

Darach's HP on hard is 5/7 the actual health

[ocean wren]

Why is battle rally actually this bad

[oblique breach]

Cuz you're using up all your good pairs first?

[ocean wren]

I have no choice tho

[oblique breach]

Because at this rate you're gonna run out of good pairs by Area 9

You can try "weak" pairs first

Anyway I'm struggling too

[ocean wren]

Have you seen the boosted roles tho?

[leaden wraith]

you are not using units matching with your theme boost, in your case its Grass

[ocean wren]

And the only grass i have with a boost is mix red but I used him already

Cause it just so happened to be around here

Literally can rally stop choosing field and/or sprint

[oblique breach]

Can't find Team Toughen Up

Is it a Gauntlet cookie

[obsidian sentinel]

So use what you have and don't run SSTR with the new Rosa

[viral loom]

Doable without buffs and without SSTRed dying?

[ocean wren]

Who am I supposed to use then cause ny dawn has too much bulk here

[leaden wraith]

its located in the top left quadrant

the farthest tile

[leaden wraith]

you need to change weather, so not possible with this team unless you go for flinch chance / get more boost

[oblique breach]

Accidentally went to search for Ghetsis' grids

Should I get this?

[obsidian sentinel]

What buff are you stacking?

Does NYDawn need somehting like status?

[ocean wren]

Idk what the stage wants in general, but in this scenario, the type buff is grass and doesn't exist

Cause I had to use mix red earlier cause this game has an addiction to field/sprint

[obsidian sentinel]

So lose 0.5x buff and use a grass

[viral loom]

I don't think any buff from here would benefit much for this particular fight, I might have to ditch Victor for a weather villain (is there anyone?)?

[ocean wren]

Still idk what the stage wants out of me

All it tells me is to use special moves and that's it

[viral loom]

I only have to keep this wack team for this stage, I can ditch everyone but SSTred for the next one for the bonus

[leaden wraith]

i would forego the boost and bring a weather setter

[obsidian sentinel]

So use special moves and throw in a grass egg

[obsidian sentinel]

So you use SSTR?

[ocean wren]

I figured because the stage warns of grassy terrain that I needed to remove it cause he is the only other terrain setter with the role boost available

[obsidian sentinel]

Just use Ramos

[ocean wren]

....wut?

[obsidian sentinel]

Grass, disrupts, easy win

[wary kayak]

Sleep Powder shenanigans

Can probably stall out the terrain that way

[oblique breach]

I was thinking of EXing Glacia and buying the Dango so that once Olivia syncs, Glacia syncs immediately after and we get 3 sync buffs

[viral loom]

I guess I'm keeping this?

[ocean wren]

She'll set it back up before syncing

[wary kayak]

This is crucial:
With Grassy Terrain or with Grass Wish?

If it's the latter, you're stuck
If it's the former, lmao Sleep Powder

[obsidian sentinel]

More pertinent is she probably doesn't get to before syncing

Anyway even after you disrupt that too

[ocean wren]

OK got lucky cause I almost got taken out by the sync

But my raging in general on rally still remains

[oblique breach]

What else do I need to do vs Darach

[ocean wren]

Yeah sure game, very cool

[stark dawn]

tf is that

[ocean wren]

Buffs to myself?

[oblique breach]

I am done

[leaden wraith]

congrats, done

[oblique breach]

Now what'm I supposed to do with 400 medals?

In the exchange

I bought whatever number of cake vouchers I could get

[leaden wraith]

save for next month

[oblique breach]

OK,

do they roll over to next month

[leaden wraith]

medals are carried over to next month yes

only the shop resets

[ebon valve]

PSA:

While you do have until <t:1709531940:F> reset to get your weekly gems mission. The Monthly shop is resetting on <t:1709272740:F>. So if you needed to collect your Roll Cake Coin Vouchers, Power-Ups, or Corbs, you should maybe consider hastening your weekly clear.

[oblique breach]

I already finished

Might do one more round for fun this week

[wary kayak]

No damage multiplier?

[worthy tusk]

I just got cake vouchers, I'll probably skip orbs and power ups.

[wary kayak]

Evasion might be a waste of points when so many of the hard fights have pinpoint entry or straightup Piercing Gaze

The orbs are a good exchange rate considering how many of them it costs to add Energy to grids. But I think I'll stick with cake coins for now too

Bit daunting to try and dig through my whole roster for ones that are "worthy" of the extra energy. Maybe if I narrow my scope and limit it to Master Pairs at first... and maybe finally candy them to 3/5 for it

[viral loom]

My first LUCKY stage ever, and it's such a sad bonus...

[wary kayak]

I mean, Riley matches both with a cake, and you got him for free

If you pulled for Gladion, he matches both too

And if round 10 demands Riley or Gladion, you can just keep them in the team

[viral loom]

Don't have Gladion, nor Riley Caked

Not even EXed really

[wary kayak]

Got coins to trade for a striker cake? 🤔

[wary kayak]

Fortunately you can add the role before actually EXing

It's just that his sync won't gain the properties for those roles. But he still will count as dual role for Rally

I did it yesterday and got the points for it

Plus, there are certainly worse people to use a striker cake on. Riley's sync has an innate multi.

If you've already used up Riley this rally, then we're back to the drawing board

And/or if you are out of both striker cakes and striker coins

[viral loom]

Ah, I didn't know that, but no, don't have enough coins/tickets/cakes for it

[viral loom]

He is my 1st priority for strike cake now

But didn't have enough time to stock up

[wary kayak]

Darn. Well, you could just stuff him into the team for a single bonus I guess

[wary kayak]

It be like that sometimes

[static arch]

You should use the double roles for the lucky stage because you are getting more bonus points that way

[viral loom]

Nah I rather do this abomination of a team

[static arch]

Have you heard about Bettie? Bettie Spaghetti!

[wary kayak]

Equally valid

[oblique breach]

[COME ON]

[leaden wraith]

caked NC Rosa will shine there

[oblique breach]

I don't have her

I'm thinking

Chase for Areas 1 to 3

Riley 5 and 6

Rei 8 to 10

I might just stock double

[leaden wraith]

i should be used to EXR Chase from now

[oblique breach]

I have not yet EX'd Chase yet

He's almost there, and when I do

Should I 2/5 him?

[placid depot]

i won't like, the BR medal to sync orb exchange is looking very tempting rn

(i've exchanged all the cake coin vouchers dw)

[placid depot]

3/5 is where it's at

[viral loom]

I feel like it's hella worth now, assuming you don't need the powerups or had good enough points to get both

Tho I still believe that they could end up cheaping the new energy a bit

Resetting grids used to cost coins, so maybe this is the 2nd correction that they do to grids

[wary kayak]

1/5 and 2/5 generally won't need the extra energy, so this really only matters for 3+/5. The question then becomes how many of those have something good within 6 (or 8 or even 10) energy of their current ideal builds

I thought about adding energy to Olivia and realized she can already reach all the good nodes with 60 energy, for example

[fresh holly]

I think the orbs are more worth than 5* PU in current state

100000 for 5k is solid

[viral loom]

Funny how before this update that would be the biggest waste of resources you could exchange for

[viral loom]

Should be doable with 2 Villain buffs and 1 buff of 100% dmg more when at half HP, right?

I always seems to be a couple turns short

[hasty marlin]

I mean you’re encouraged to unit swap a lot in this mode lol

[wary kayak]

Swapping units is like half the point

[zealous plover]

I have NC Blue with the EX role unlocked. This is the first round of the battle rally. Should I use him now or save him for later?

[hasty marlin]

Checked your map on pomatools yet?

Always save doublerole for latest stage that double matches it without screwing over your UB answers for the ub stage roles

If full map isn’t available from r1 on pomatools then I don’t spend exrs on r1 ever

R2 to 9 could be lucky stages which are double base score

So I always prioritize the latest doubleup incase I find a lucky later if I can’t streak with it

[zealous plover]

do you mean this?

[hasty marlin]

Yea

[zealous plover]

doesn't seem to give the full map yet

[hasty marlin]

Since there’s variation still don’t exr on r1

[zealous plover]

got it

nice got a full map now

Would it be too early to use Irida?

[hasty marlin]

Irida doesn’t have an exr but I’d use on r4, 8, or 9

[zealous plover]

are ex roles extremely important?

[hasty marlin]

They’re how you score over 7500

[zealous plover]

ohh

[hasty marlin]

I’d do either r4 or r8 depending on if you can handle tanking something like Halloween 2023 with techs lol

[zealous plover]

halloween 2023?

[hasty marlin]

Since those are the two that’ll prob be a bit awkward

https://tenor.com/view/jon-tron-out-of-this-house-lm001-evil-possessed-gif-12754917

Fucker would oneshot even ncblue on acting

If didn’t have damage guard up

Prob one of the worst stages to get

[pseudo egret]

Wha

[hasty marlin]

Yeah, that head smash is nuts when it’s late into rally and you can’t find better than e4 boost. Was strike supp stage so taking a e4 woulda dropped my score

[zealous plover]

yeah i've noticed how hard it is to tank in some really hard stages without an item

[hasty marlin]

My lategame that run was kill or be killed

[wary kayak]

Authentic main series experience

Because we can't spend 1000+ turns just switching mons in reaction to the one the opponent just switched in last turn, and the opponent switched in a different mon in reaction to the one you switched in last turn

[zealous plover]

What should I do for this one?

My sprint/field pairs

[hasty marlin]

Riley victor archer? Unless you wanna ride sstred for several fights

That’ll leave you with your stronger three for the later field sprint

[zealous plover]

All sprint/field for now?

[hasty marlin]

You have six which is enough for both field sprint stages

[zealous plover]

will it be tanky enough?

[hasty marlin]

Definitely, it’s only r3 and sstred might be able to tank the other depending on your boosts

[zealous plover]

Archer, Riley, and Victor are stronger than SSTRed?

[hasty marlin]

Trying to save sstred for your other field sprint stage

Unless you wanna use one of your strong three now

[zealous plover]

yeah i wasn't sure if that's what you meant haha

[hasty marlin]

If you put in sstred now he matches till a7 onward

So it’s up to you

Cause you could put him in and use him all through a9 now

[zealous plover]

i'll save him

who tanks? and hard or very hard?

[hasty marlin]

Always very hard

EVictor prob can tank I’d imagine esp with max guard. Not sure if archer bulkier or not?

[zealous plover]

do i put up max guard first thing?

...i think i need a consistent fire attacker aha

off type does't do much damage

[zealous plover]

Am I missing something with offtyping battle rally?

[viral loom]

Everybody should be offtyping BR most of the time, trying to on type in every stage will probably lead to little rewards

[zealous plover]

I feel like I don't get much damage output from it

[stark dawn]

What's the name of the items that restore HP and MP ?

[viral loom]

Probably either a lack of using the buff theme, or ignoring the gimmicks of the stage

Most of the stages have a gimmick or two that you need to remember in order to do some damage, but type isn't necesary

[viral loom]

The ones you can store?

[stark dawn]

the 2 ones at the bottom right of the shop

they cost 300 iirc

[viral loom]

Hearty Stew and Replenishing Patty

[stark dawn]

thx

[zealous plover]

This stage buffs field and sprint characters and that's what I am using

[viral loom]

I meant the theme buff that you get at the start of your run

[pseudo egret]

Those are not a buff to power, it's a buff to points

[viral loom]

Also this aren't buffs, but better rewards by using them

[zealous plover]

Ohhh

I have a gym leader buff then

[viral loom]

The stage isn't necesarily design for those roles, the two roles are picked randomly per stage

[viral loom]

So make sure to always use at least 1 gym leader in your team, unless you can brute force it with better roles for rewards

[zealous plover]

Got it

[viral loom]

But if not, stick to your theme buff at minimun

[gentle maple]

Got a lucky area but it's field and sprint

[stark dawn]

imagine getting lucky areas

[gentle maple]

Better than nothing

7k extra medals now

[hasty marlin]

im kinda thinking about forming a cake this next month, but im not certain... this is what my box is prob gonna be looking like next month... im on like 2Strike/1/1/1/13Field coins for cakes rn

what yall think? forming steven's cake a good idea with these options?

decided im gonna pick him up tomorrow, since i can still guarantee irida even if i get shafted and he looks really fun

[viral loom]

We eating good tonight, new (lucky) record, and over 10k as I promised last week!

Finally got to use all my 12 rolex exclusively in their x2 bonus

It's really fun to do UBs with wack teams in this mode

[hasty marlin]

yeah it sure is

it can be really awkward too though lol, like my last run was super strange barring the ub

[viral loom]

Did a really fun Darach this time with both frogs and SSCyrus

[hasty marlin]

my rally will prob be alot easier next week cause im most likely candying sstred, just one more ticket before i can lock in the candies without regrets.

ill let gloralt take the next 2 tech candies unless i find something else by then

[mild notch]

first time i'll have 6 pairs with field/sprint role which means i can fully boost 2 field sprint areas in my rally

[peak citrus]

noooo my area 10 this week is rock weak Darach with strike as a bonus 😭😭😭 wish silver was out already

[static arch]

I got the luckiest run of BR I could have had. Tech/support area 10 to use my caked frogs against Anabel. Plus I had a perfect 2400 lucky area

[austere cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/get-this-man-a-beer-tchalla-black-panther-gif-13390253

[simple frost]

Frogs. I still havent caked nc serena ooof

[quiet apex]

I think my highest so far.

[austere cipher]

Dragon go brrrry

Imagine 50 for perma zone

[austere cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/que-gif-27530657

[static arch]

Have we seen anyone hit 11k yet? Whales that pulled every paid only MF would have more cakes than I do for dual roles

[static arch]

I didn't realize a type could go on sale

[cobalt furnace]

That’s a type damage up, not a type boost

[pseudo egret]

I've seen region boosts go on sale

[quiet apex]

Here was my run. Just some annoying typings got in my way. NCRosa was the old war wagon in the rally.

[hasty marlin]

Ncrosa ssac honestly makes a pretty strong core in the game mode when you get a set like that

[quiet apex]

She was in 5 rounds at least.

[hasty marlin]

A4 being there is kinda evil regarding it tho

Else would be able to streak them into two 2x

[quiet apex]

AnniCynth was used early to help get an early points lead.

[quiet apex]

The ironic moment Maybunny is having a fun time.

Someone should be fired for this.

[hasty marlin]

Gakon posted this the other day iirc, dunno what the source is but it’s pretty funny even if it’s gonna be real painful to see this happen to me someday for a10

The fact that this even exists for a10 is very evil for whoever at dena was responsible for the role mapping

[austere cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/geeta-geeta-pokemon-geeta-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-pokemon-scarlet-pokemon-violet-gif-27137397

she goes hard on e2 late stage

[quaint star]

It's rather concerning that some players still don't know how to do Battle Rally. Like, check the pins?

[hasty marlin]

Geeta Nywallace +1 go brr

[quiet apex]

I’m probably gonna be going Mix Red and SST Red

[cobalt furnace]

Not sure if this was the original source but #1153583498687414283 message

[timid hound]

The flag of Battle Rally

[austere cipher]

hey man, can you send the source? I remember seeing this on X forgot to bookmark XD
going to record my team per set. ty

[stoic cairn]

oh my days

so far only have 1 field tech iirc

ss may

[static arch]

I heard @frigid condor crushed my 10,400 high in BR

Anybody know the number?

[ebon valve]

Support/field
+300% fairy, +200% sync moves. Still ain’t enough.

[scarlet dagger]

help with this articuno red is kicking my ass

[ebon valve]

Red's stage is based around Hail weather, try changing it.

[hasty marlin]

Reminder that ssmay = blaziken, not latias

[scarlet dagger]

so uh

instant death

[static arch]

AnniMay (anime) is latias, easy to remember

[scarlet dagger]

all three of my pairs were 1 hit KO'd to blizzard

so yeah I'm at a complete loss.

[ebon valve]

Are you using a sync pair that matches your bonus?

[zealous plover]

Keep or change? Sprint/Field boosted

[ebon valve]

the burn is suggested because he's fire weak, he doesn't have any related passives

[ebon valve]

In Rally mode, your stats get multiplied when you match the bonus theme that you're granted at the beginning. If you purchase addiitonal bonuses they also stack.

[scarlet dagger]

yeah

[zealous plover]

oh got it

[scarlet dagger]

I am using sync pairs that match the bonus

yet team is wiped at first move

[hasty marlin]

role bonus doesnt mean stats in this mode

[scarlet dagger]

luck is not a part of it whatever I am doing I do not stand a chance.

[hasty marlin]

your items are what matters for stats

[scarlet dagger]

my items

[ebon valve]

The bonuses I'm referring to are the activated effects.

[scarlet dagger]

I have trial giver upgrade

move mg 2

move stats down

sp atk up 4

[ebon valve]

how many trial givers?

[scarlet dagger]

that sit

none

[ebon valve]

you mean just x1

[scarlet dagger]

yes

one upgrade. sorry.

[ebon valve]

What's the Area No?

[scarlet dagger]

5

[ebon valve]

I'm guessing like 5-6

so, Red has +400% stats.

and you have +100%

[scarlet dagger]

ok?

so how do I beat it?

[ebon valve]

What's the team?

[scarlet dagger]

sycamore, adaman, ssmay

blaziken

[ebon valve]

cause only +100% stats would imply your using some good units to clear.

[scarlet dagger]

sycamore ex

ssmay is ex too

those aren't good units?

[ebon valve]

You need someone who can change the weather.

[zealous plover]

adaman can do that

[scarlet dagger]

lol adaman changes weather

still dies to blizzard 1st time

[hasty marlin]

i uh, i dont think any of that is a Trial Giver

[ebon valve]

None of those sound like trial givers

[hasty marlin]

[scarlet dagger]

aha

[hasty marlin]

so youre down 100% stats

[scarlet dagger]

because all my trial givers woul DIE

[stoic cairn]

oops my bad

yea anni may

[ionic sigil]

You might need Defense buffs asap too

[scarlet dagger]

so what is the team then lol

who am i sending to death

[ionic sigil]

Sycamore sets Sp. Def on sync so you may be vulnerable until then

[ebon valve]

adaman should be fine by himself, just slot in anyone else

[scarlet dagger]

'anyone else?'

because that's ssmay

do you mean a trial giver?

[ionic sigil]

I’m assuming Tech/Support are the bonus roles?

[ebon valve]

yes sub out May for a Trial giver

[scarlet dagger]

no

tech and field

akari is my only field

[ebon valve]

also trial giver is literally the worst theme you can get 💀

[gentle maple]

I got 11,125 lol

Someone even got 10.6k with no lucky area iirc

[scarlet dagger]

should I start over? lol

[ebon valve]

No.

[scarlet dagger]

like not kidding

[ebon valve]

Don't ever retire.

[gentle maple]

Never retire

[scarlet dagger]

why?

[gentle maple]

It's penalty is harsh

[ebon valve]

score x 0.1

[gentle maple]

Like no joke

Never ever retire

[ebon valve]

Even if you overspend, go to the end.

[zealous plover]

that rhymed :o

[ebon valve]

But, why not just throw in Mina or something

[gentle maple]

Even if u have to drop to easy to clear go to the end

[scarlet dagger]

ok acerola died

sycamore is frozen

[ebon valve]

acerola should be using astonish for flinch

[gentle maple]

I got trial giver at the start my previous run too but I kept going until I found psychic upgrade on area 4

[ionic sigil]

Acerola is also Ice weak iirc

[scarlet dagger]

well i didnt die instantly

but I wasn't even close

so what I just swap acerola for another trial giver who'll lose?

mina?

I do have sslana

how many total stages

[zealous plover]

10

[scarlet dagger]

gotcha

[ionic sigil]

Do you have any Supports that buff Sp. Def quicker?

[scarlet dagger]

I

who

just lost again. It doesn't matter cause if red attacks, its instant or almost instant defeat

I never thought it would jump from the last stage like that

[scarlet dagger]

who do you mean.

[hasty marlin]

iirc it was 0.2x, but still terrible.

[hasty marlin]

someone who can buff spdef before sync

like og misty, elio, etc

i assume thats what they mean atleast

[ionic sigil]

Yeah, if you’re getting hit hard early, you may want to try that

Alternatively, you can see what is in your shop to see if any of that will help

[hasty marlin]

yeah the shops there for if youre struggling, if youre not sure whats good send a ss of your shop to us

[scarlet dagger]

Is only 1 ticket per week right?

I assume the coins should be the priority? Or maybe the 5* tickets?

[obsidian sentinel]

Unless they give them out otherwise, which they might. Priority for most is the EXR stuff

[zealous plover]

I made it to Area 10 with Suicune, I have Adaman but who else should I bring? My theme is gym leader and the bonuses for this stage are striker and sprint.

Grass Rebuff counts as a negative status change right?

[hasty marlin]

sooo

i overhyped myself.

[zealous plover]

[hasty marlin]

lets just say i got 2 more units than i planned and STILL need to get one

my gems rn

[zealous plover]

rip

[hasty marlin]

im gonna be VERY tight on the irida gem clock

which means 0 banners for me in april

[zealous plover]

Should I swap Skyla out for NC Blue (he has EX Role unlocked)? Or maybe keep both?
I'm thinking of adding SS Erika there too.

[hasty marlin]

the problem will be very obvious here

im still gonna end up yoloing on irida in an all or nothing play, cause i cant resist hisui zoroark

hope permavilla gems and thorton help

[zealous plover]

fair. I love Hisuian Zoroark and the modern outfits are adorable

[hasty marlin]

also i got 2/5 geeta off the multi that gave me her

so, that feels nice?

gonna 3/5 her and sstred tn after i eat

[hasty marlin]

who yall think i should rolex btw? aside from AnniMay, prob will let her ride off the bp coins since close to that alr

cause this modes the main content i rolex for, and both steven and geeta seem like theyd excel here

Grass Rebuff counts as a negative status change right?

[hasty marlin]

setupless aoe spam is kinda the reason why i fell for geeta.
i like aoe unga bunga

[hasty marlin]

yea

[zealous plover]

I need a bit of help with the last area. I have the gym leader theme and the bonuses for this map are strike and sprint. It is against Suicune.

I've been using Skyla as my support but should I replace her with NC Blue (he has his EX Role unlocked)

I'm definitely going to use Adaman at least

[timid hound]

Who's Suicune again? Argenta UB?

[zealous plover]

Yeah

[hasty marlin]

yep

[hasty marlin]

no ssac no ncrosa, uhhhh

how many stat bonuses ya got...?

[zealous plover]

wdym?

[hasty marlin]

like how many stacks of gym leader ya got

just the starting one or

[zealous plover]

just the starting one, I didn't realize that buying another would stack extra

i mean i could buy one right now

[hasty marlin]

yeah, it stacks, if it allows you to buy multiple it 100% stacks

[zealous plover]

ohh

[hasty marlin]

but since ur there u might as well try without

might be tight tho

[zealous plover]

i bought it anyway haha
