Not Adaman?
oh you have adaman
maybe him then
its really hard to answer this with strike dps sadly
NCBlue at least has the strike ex role
ncred is only 1/5 else he'd be really nice id imagine

another idea worth trying would be rei or whatever but i doubt hes invested from looks of it
...does bp candice have gym leader tag?
she should?
either way since you mention adaman, ncblue + adaman + a striker gym leader
see how ya do with that ig
he has his sync grid as much as it can be
oh your tracker image said 1/5
yeah i meant at 1/5 haha
ah, yeah needs his grid to nuke id imagine without help from dmg boost items
I like Rei and I want to raise his move level but I don't want to waste it
...I do have a golden candy and a sprint candy though
Is there a tldr about what battle rally is? Idk how to access the pins of this channel.
Click on Battle Rally, click on settings, click on pinned messages
Okay thanks 👍
augh do i need to give adaman vigilance for this?
What're the units mentioned here?? Can I not get good rewards if I don't have the dual roles unlocked??
What's EXR 
Since cakes are the new meta, can I get cakes without dual roles? That's all I'll focus on rn. It seems hard to do.
ex role
Doable
It's definitely doable
Only buy one stackable bonus
Assuming you score 7500 every run, 7500 x 4 = 30,000 medals per month allowing you to grab all cake vouchers with some leftover for next month

I got D2
7500 is 750 per stage a.k.a. you have at least 3 on-types including rolex
Can I use same team all the way upto floor 10 or do I need different teams for each floor? Like In BV you just steam roll the whole thing with only 3 units.
If you want to maximize your profit, switch out according to the floor
Depending on the pattern there may be units you can bring on multiple floors or even from A1 - A10
There's one pattern that you can use a rolex SSTRed from A1 - A10
Okay so there can be a case where I'm not supposed to use a single support unit??
Damn. How the heck you clear that?
Well, I'm fucked LOL
Late game players finally getting new content
Is a nice mode for late-game players indeed
Where's the channel for "Challenge the Strong"? I got ohkoed when I tried it. 
#1009557516369281075 thats ultimate battles
BP Candice was actually a good choice, especially when Suicune hit half bar
Ah BP Candice
yw
Oh no that's BP
they had strike sprint bonuses
Very nice
Yeah I also Rolex'd my NCBlue for the situations where support sprint or tech aren't options

Real
Thanks bud
Man, I wish we could enter Rally without a ticket
I don't even want the rewards, I just wanna try these new pairs
feedback them with this. i did the same like day 1
Ah yes, the Red sets 
This is actually my first time playing battle rally but is this a good score? I didn't have anyone caked
Its good enough as the first run
The pins have helpful resources and guides to help you in future runs
You would want to aim for 24k per month so you can grab all cake vouchers for 1 cake. In fact, try to spread it for one attempt per week so you can get the 300 gems
Remember you can just stack one buff item!
wow.... seems like the Apple Cup really is a free win button 
at the cost of so many points
not worth it in general
I just did the stupidest thing
Instead of saving my leftover 12k points for cake vouchers next month i spent it all of feathers
oh my
ok i just tested another battle rally
total 5 battle rallies i have tested
i realised on the first stage if lets say striker tech
if u put all tech
the algorithm will more likely to produce striker for the rest of the later arena stages
same goes for support tech or whatever
but its not 100%
since field and sprint might come and spoil the game
PomaTools has a way of seeing exactly what the roles will be on any given run
ya i know
im saying
for first stage
because first stage u cant determine the rest of the stages yet
sometimes even 2nd stage
but 3rd stage onwards, pomatools can definitely determine by then for all combos
Reminder that you need to input the roles in the exact placement for pomatool.
So many don't know how to do Battle Rally and miss out on the 300 weekly gems 
Basically Striker + Tech
Is not the same as Tech + Striker
Pomatools will help you massively if correctly used
Better to use your time to create a algorithm for lucky area instead 
Hmmmmm, do I buy the 10k sync orbs?
Do so in April
In april we get 5 mondays
You can get Cake, PU, and Orbs
And might even save a bit
Depending on your average run
Well, I can get over 7k
Maybe close to 9
Close to 9k gives you full PU and Cake in exactly 4 weeks
Having the 5th monday
9k-ish would be really good
I've already claimed all of the coin voucher exchange tickets and the 5* PU tickets for this month
You can get the 10k if you're really low on the orbs, what I am thinking of is how important to get role cake asap hence why i say i'd just get orbs in april and still have some savings
So i want to start next month with maximum voucher number
The quicker i get voucher the more rolex I get
And use in my next rally
I have 14k medals right now
Oh just get them 
Time to expand SS Wally
I will call the police... Oh wait she is a police, that means you are scheming something 
Hope they didn't added paldea boost to the rally
urgh this pain , i got this just now
That would be the saddest boost to get (basically no boost for most players)
Not before dropping the Legendary Adventure unit and some Genpool
Great, don't want to get unusable paldea boost
We hope
I didn't, my peak is 9750 ^^
#1014184450688552990 message
Nice
Yes i got a question regarding oleana in this battle rally fight even with -6 in all stats and such once she gets to sync move she nukes my side of the field and im for some reason am doing barely any dmg
i went and thought i might needed poison for it but the poison doesnt kill them fast enough b4 she syncs
and so idk if im missing a gimmic or something here?
You should use Koga instead
iirc the only gimmick is inflicting status and Grassy Terrain later in the fight
You can use the pastebin links in the pins to read gimmicks on every stage
hmm alright the pastebin says to focus on poison on oleana and the other 2 besides her with paralysis
so il try and see if i can make it work
You should look into their passives instead
The "focus" tips are literally the tips ingame
I think you're also running too many bonus
It's better to focus on few good ones
Yeah, with decent roster 1 - 2 boosts are good enough
The pins also have guides on optimizing runs efficiently
hmmm ic il just play around with it and see then ig
Is not spending a lot of points a good idea?
Imo having +300% stats and +200% attack power at minimum makes things alot easier
Which only costs 300 points total without sales
That is equal to x12 regular damage I believe
It's just my first time doing the mode so I'm a bit confused lol. Do my not spent points at the end convert into the currency?
Correct
You should check the pins for helpful guides and resources
Usually with a decent roster, 1 - 2 theme boosts are enough
I guess I overlooked that part since I was but that make a lot more sense. Thank yous. Yeah I have a good roster (I think)
You can purchase more if you like, but it hurts the final result
Yeah I purchased a bit of stuff but now I know for next time
Personally i only buy 1 theme boost (2 of the better theme if the starting boost is bad). If the VH stage on Arena 10 brings trouble, i buy an item costing 100 pts that can 100% help me beating the stage. If the fight is impossible to beat, even with items, i do H difficulty instead
I only spend 300 medals at most at the end so i can save up a huge amount of points for next month after done exchanging for important stuff (note that i score 8000+ most of time)
I dunno I like buying 2 more starting ones and 2 + power ones to progress easily maximizing double roles in at least 1 slot
You get an extra 150 for each extra role fulfilled for VH
People have different styles when it comes to beating rally, but i recommend my strat which optimizes runs the most
I'll have to try that.. I'm trying to learn what's good and isn't but I understand this gamemode a bit now.. thanks yous so much 
I am not good enough at the game to beat stage 10 with only 1 or 2 bought boosts, and going down to hard from VH I think loses 250 points so I am better just giving an extra 200 points in bought boosts
Doing H with 2 theme boosts is already overkill, no need to waste more 200 pts so i dont get your issue
Well you do you then 
I don't really understand how you always have perfect units in matching bonus roles available for area 10 when you assumedly go in blind for which opponent it is
How many points do you usually get
Because only having starting boost + just 2 extra I find extremely difficult, even with best teams
Well i save units who are capable of dealing many UBs at once like NC Blue, NC Serena... till Arena 10, and try to slot many EXR matching with role bonuses as possible
Thats why im ready for any UB except VH Palmer
I've been consistently getting 10k+, I do close to this strategy
real
I have been getting around 8000 lately, but its increasing week by week 
More EXR unlocked and smarter teambuilding help a lot
Well as we add cake roles it will keep going up
But saving your studs for area 10 if the roles don't match is less points overall than buying more bonuses
I only need zero or 1 unmatched units through a run and that should become 0 consistently after a handful more cakes
For instance I was able to get double role match for 11 of my 12 caked units this week
DOES anyone have an image with all three rounds being Palmer?
Was it sprint field
I do close to this strategy too, averaging 9.2-9.7k
Support and Sprint. Iirc the 2nd one.
Ok that’s one of the best role sets
If i had SSKris i’d have popped off if i got that lineup
Kris, cake Cerena, cake Rosa
I might even get VH
or cake SSA cynthia
Ugh, i can't find a 3 Palmer image. asking for a friend.
Picture of triple palmer stage:
POV: we are going to beat you to death
Me and the boys at 2am walking into Taco Bell
Rei, ssa Cynthia = dead palmer
Don't forget NCHop
Kinda wanna try Bea and Wally too, probably needs another fighting DPS though so not to fall behind
What IS this stage
we can't tell if you don't actually show the stage
but that looks like a stage made for sc steven
that's still not saying anything, stages are not tied to a single area other than the 10th
they mean who are the opponents, pokemon and weaknesses
Could be the SC Steven and SC Shauna stage then
That's Hop btw
It probably has a passive that does extra damage when it has positive stats, so you'll want to debuff it
Ooops, yeah. They look similar
Marnie is constantly growling at it but that's not enough
According to this, you'll want to be debuffing Atk and Spe as well
was wondering who was a steel type released around that time but yeah shauna
so it's definitely a sc steven stage ye
That would be a big factor
Welp, i still have nc rosa from the previous stage. Might as well throw her in
What's acute senses again? Status change is...rebuff? Interference?
yes
things like sure hit, sure crit, restrain and gradual healing also count, granted the latter is not something you can give to the enemy outside of CS but you get the idea
ground weak aaron with acute senses applying grad heal to himself:
Interference is status change ya?
yes
But not status conditions
interference is flinch confusion trap
New player trying to figure out battle rally, if my first stage is field/sprint and I only have 4 total is it worth throwing them all in now? And should I be rinsing out units every stage or keep a carry the whole time if I don't have much depth
First you can check https://ng-pomatools.web.app/battle-rally to see roles for all round
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
Looks like sprint carries over with the rest hidden for now
with a field/sprint start, you can see that you'll probably need to switch your field units next round but your sprint are fine, so you can try stacking some sprints on round 1 and use them again on round 2
If it's reversed does that change everything
yes
sprint/field you can't tell yet
I guess am I better off losing some bonus to push higher difficulty
one has a lot of sprint and the other is balanced, but yeah my advice still stands you can stack some sprints on round 1
I got 2 underleveled fighting type sprints, perfect.
rei and riley ?
if you have their ex roles and you get the 1st one you'll get very good
So there's no way i'm beating area 10 VH without the apple cup here right
looks hard
So close to reaching 9000 points too
And is buying things in the rally shop bad since I want to end with more points?
Huh, Brawly really is the only fighting tech. That's something
I think if you absolutely want to save every points then yeah, don't buy anything. But it might make some stages difficult without the power boost
So realistically keep it to a minimum, thanks
I'd say try the stage before buying anything, and if you can't clear it, then maybe consider buying a boost
Could have got over 9000 if i hadn't bought the 1 power up
So using mix red on every stage and 2 correct units is getting me 600 points consistently. I like this
Finally did a no purchase run, thanks Lucy
Galar zapdos
Sc diantha
Probably others
just those 3
Yeh i really need to learn to stop buying stuffs
How do you get a multiplier at the end?
Ended up using Mix Red all 10 stages, I don't hate it.
And I assume put everything in to roll cake vouchers?
Or sync orbs since that's insane value while I'm so early game
cake vouchers > orbs > powerups imo, but if you really need orbs you can do orbs first ig, not a big difference in score needed / mo
I just managed 5.5k, I think ignoring the main mechanic and getting 600 points every stage is better than new teams on hard/normal
So I can do a few more runs before tomorrow ends
since i assume from that youre prob a bit on the new end, go ahead and grab the orbs then
yeah id grab the orbs then, itll help you stabilize for a decent while as a new player
you prob wont have many cake targets anyway as a newbie, so vouchers 2nd priority is fine
I'm not f2p. I have targets lmao
ah, fair
I'm using a 4/5 Mix Red for context
id still do orbs first for your first month shop since we need 100k to fully unlock a single pair's grid energy raise 
Thats about as whale as I can get
and cant really whale fully past grid costs anyway
True
Biggest issue is it took a couple hours of trial and error to beat this mode and i gotta do it 6 more times by tomorrow
yeah, it do be like that especially on A10
wider your box gets, the easier it becomes though
cause youll be able to answer more stages on-role with less items needed
Is the best early strategy to keep buying the same upgrade type (looks like whatever I spawn with appears often?)
tunnel on 1 theme stat boost and 1 damage boost that your mix red can do to somewhere around +400% each
and youll be able to brute force 90% of fights
I noticed that last time other than 10th. Gotta respect the gimmick
yea, even A10 though you can disrespect some gimmicks with high enough multipliers
Waa going great until it started recovering for 30k a turn. I was sad
Hi, currently can’t progress in this stage (very hard) because the Venusaur petal blizzards my team, traps them all and then I just die. The only locked in member is Mix Red.
which A10 boss did you have? Anabel Entei?
Oh, darach staraptor isn't too bad thankfully relative to other ones
gimme a moment to figure out which fight this is
Thanks!
full weaknesses of the stage please?
to make sure im looking at right one
is it water + ice weaks?
Yes
yep this is from Eusine release i believe
sides have Wise X2, mid has Acute Senses 4
got anyone physical that can take out sides, perhaps? and a tank that can apply a neg status change to mid?
preferrably one of the two being Rocktype
for your stat boost
Well I was trying to force my way with Mix Red because he is useful for all the upcoming areas
yeah, keeping mixred is fine
But I have SS Diantha 1/5 and will get NC Silver when he comes out
but i dont think ncred is gonna chunk sides enough, honestly, without a rock on team
since ya lose your 100% stat boost
whats your shop like atm?
isnt this crit dmg up?
buy this.
if so
cause thats the best one
try again with current team with that, might be enough extra dmg to murder
Right, will give it a try
Thank you!
Well the biggest issue I have is getting trapped turn 2 basically
use reds bmove on venusaur to freeze
So I don’t know if I should invest in escape artist as a LS or if I should blitz
venusaur doesnt have antifreeze
try to keep sides frozen long as you can
mixred should be able to dps down mid
Right, I don’t have it on time because I use my trainer move first but I’ll do it later then
blizzard > bmove > tm if youre ditching redcuno next fight > bmove
Right, thanks!
keep an eye out for a shop theme stat bonus that matches one of Mixred's themes as well in future stages, will help you alot with tanking future stages if you can get one
you can stack crit dmg bonus for a couple stages if you wanna trivialize it damagewise
Didn’t even need the trainer move, that worked out well!
np!
Ok I’ll keep an eye out, I usually neglect the store but it is actually handy hahah
yeah, spending like 200-300 ish in a run to make it not a headache is nice 
I splurged on perm grassy terrain. We cooking now
I swear half the people in here are using less matching roles just to save a couple hundred on spent items, even though every lost role match is 150 points in VH
Does it count if I literally can't beat most VH stages otherwise?
I'm saying to buy more powerups so you can
And it seems saving all UB friendly units with correct roles to cover any UB 10 opponent is safest
UB?
I'm buying a bunch of power ups and then using mix red + 2 appropriate units every battle
UB is Ultimate Battle
These plus Palmer/Regigigas.
Round 10 is always a UB
One of these days I should try some. I couldn't beat Anabel but I keep hearing she's the worst one until Palmer releases...
Where's a Zangoose when you need one
ub lucy gonna need immunity on everybody
thankfully some units bring immunity in weather and the like. and Healing Hand Sycamore in the back pocket is an interesting thing if you got enough boosts
There be a ncleaf in your near future
Oh I just had Lucy 10. With a lil sync grid change she was a total joke
Or just grid everyone with Antitoxin 
Gave mix red antitoxin, was fun
Is it bad I'm considering grinding out training area to get mix red to 140
125 should be fine.
so what yall think about my next EXR once monthly reset hits?
im leaning toward geeta kinda but not 100% sure
i'd go for it, she's 3/5 aalready
had her land 2/5 off the banner so i had candied her since leaving a MF at 2/5 when no candy competition yet just feels wrong

yea those were fresh pulls this month
The game thought it would be slick and give me tricky end fight and bonus roles. My initial buff was Hoenn, did not want to use an apple cup so I figured I can probably take hard down. Had to put Vigilance on Red and modify the Chase grid.
Overall dumping all my tickets on Sprint roles has payed off big time. I'm still kinda weak on Field units so next few probably going towards them.
Forgot to ask, are we considering grabbing the sync orbs now after getting the Tickets and power ups?
i personally 100% am doing so and just skipping PUs myself
just did the math in my head, im pretty sure i can cake both this month. sitting on 10 tickets rn, i can split them evenly between supp/strike and use some daily tickets to get 3 more...
so im sitting on... 33 omni cake coins basically as of the 1st...
...so i just need like 3/4 of each
on the 1st i have 3
... on the 3rd i have 2
... im a week short.
ill form the
one first and do
next throughout the month then.

went ahead and traded my daily tix to the strike role
ill be forming Geeta's cake on Friday since i can trade for 5 tickets with this week's medals
so ill have her ready for next week's rally

cause can have 15 rally tix including my current haul
even if i saved daily tix for supp instead idt would have steven's in time for the weekly reset
i spend them pretty often since i just cake units as i get cakes due to this mode incentivising it
dont want a month where i can get close to running out of medals
prioritize rolexs that add or add to sprint/field the most imo, since those are the most restrictive atm
yeah
hum i should be getting a field cake soon as well
it should still be like 19 or somethin
oh a few more days i guess.
yeah difficult to give him a field cake
Especially the 3/5 Anni May i'm sporting hehe
need more of them psychic terrain stuff
For the Support Cake not sure.
tbh i dont actually use NC Leaf a lot in Battle Rally. and she's really good enough at 3/5
So I've got articuno for my 10th battle, do I need rebuff to disable the defense?
whose your Area 10 UB?
id still opt ncleaf or cerena there as theyre both excellent at cheaply answering UBs without needing too many boosters
What's your Role Bonus?
and i think rebuff might be needed idr if it was a necessity
- any upgrdes?
Yea, I think I'll have to drop down to hard, I own 0 rebuffers
Field Sprint
yikes. Whose your Hard fight then?
what's your buffs/upgrades looking like?
I'm probably locked into Geeta and some random electric unit
Try using Geeta + Mix Red + Electric Support or if you have Sprint, that's pretty good.
Only sprint I have left is riley
your goal is to hit as hard as possible
But since I need an electric I think Geeta wins
It was supposed to be chase, but that didn't go so well
did chase die in Area 9? 😮
sadlife ;-;
I did not plan for losing chase lmao
I need electric for the 300% buff
Riley + an Electric Sync Pair + Mix Red
Riley has ontype damage, might as well.
Mix Red will kill the sides by himself tbh
but yeah try it for now
aalso, its a bad idea to use Apple Cup in Hard. Especially you can get to +400% stat boost
Yea, that was super easy.
Ohhh 100 points away from 6k xd
Are 100k sync orbs for 5k rally points more worth it than saving for 5 star power ups? I have a stockpile of power ups, but also. not sure how useful it is to raise sync grid caps
Well I'm enjoying getting perm grass even though it's not necessary. It makes the fights more mindless
Depends on youve bought the vouchers already. I probably wouldnt do it though.
I got them as I need them for my core pairs
All 20 cake vouchers bought. Now considering whether to save or spend the extra rally points
You have a lot of resources you can get sync orbs from even if its a little at a time like daily gifts, event shop, expeditions, daily training area and etc
True that
does x4 psychic upg overkill?
think this one is the easiest. area 4 will broke my bonus streak lemao
Depends on who your vh is tbh o.o
There, over 6k
I think I'm giving Giratina my next strike cake before Glimmora
Giratina needs it to have any AOE
Same for me kuku
ye she deserves that treatment
im doing it to glimmora cause the more sprint/field conservation between stages the better off i am 
4 sprint and 4 field atm for me, 5 field if i cake anni may
i did it purely for the 4.0x tbh lol

welp rip me, even if I have her cake. I can't drop nc rosa XD
I think I need one more support sprint exr
think I should grab chase from the selector kek

wasted -200 pts | 50/50 for inter op | 200 psychic boost
happy fn, ends up my highest
geeta debut 
so when i start a rally i want to typically buy 1 upgrade of the starting thing right? I got elite 4 so i buy one upgrade of it so i have 200% stats? then i just throw an e4 member on when i need them?
I usually buy 5 upgrades of it
o.o oh okay. Is there any other upgrades i should look for or just those?
If there are other theme skill upgrades that you have more units of, I'd look into buying that
But if you're sure you can maintain having an elite four in almost every stage, there's no need
o.o its a little scary trying to basically run with 2 units only on every stage but it might be doable?
Preferably you want at least 1 unit matching your boost because it's a boost to your whole team. And the higher you go, the more the opponents have their stats multiplied
howd you do the formatting for the right side here? that looks like a cool way to format used pairs ngl
Also where'd Rosa go on A-09 lol
wait, what witchcraft is this, you cant reinsert a removed pair once you clear the stage
how rosa in 2 places at once?!
Why is she in A 10 but not A9
I forgot to update lemao
I'm using pomatools team builder
oh lucy doesnt any boost?
no boost sounds insane o.o i wanna get to that point lol
#1009564564821639379 message
there lol

Where can I check the UB gimmick?
#1009557516369281075 pins
don't think I'm getting good pts here lol.
got sinnoh upg on e2 set. let's see 
I can't believe I get walled by Thorton. Field + Strike definitely sucks 
I will advise against that, most of the UB u will want at least 2 boost.. Lucy is the easiest amount them
Just don't get poison is her gimmick 
god geeta and nywallace would slap this map...if it wasnt for a7 
8-10 tho for sure
ye XD
I am on this map myself. Literally Red zone 
Nah Lucy's a very straightforward fight, just mandatory Antitoxin Lucky Skill lol
Just kill before her 2nd sync, she'll use Sure Crit Next just before and probably gank you then
actually my 2nd time kek
#1009564564821639379 message
oh i thought shes tanky?
lowest hp
shes a weird one
300k hp but double endurance
sides have 200k hp which is the highest among ultimate battle right now
i still think Zerena gonna just wreck the real thing
she probably will 
She has a lot of HP for sure, as the other UBs do, but not to a massively inflated degree
Combined with no damage reduction conditions, it just takes a while longer
Tbf I did have caked Champion Serena, SST Red, and Elaine as my team
Double support sync and beeg nukes, but it was still close
I'll take it. 
Smh never lucky. Only one time ever got the lucky stage out of all attempts
He who….still haven’t found one. 
it's fine, we burning luck on banner instead. 
Problem is I am unlucky on both 
Imagine getting Lucky Area but the role bonus is Sprint Field

Would you say you are luckily unlucky or unluckily lucky?
At least it will be an easy fight 
still better than no bonus at all

#1009564564821639379 message
Happened in my very first BR
But luckly a lot changed
New units, more cake roles
Still no field+sprint units
And it's a bit sus since that role pattern is quite common
feel like they could’ve made silver sprint/field but choose not to
kit wise at least
He already set weather on sync
But sure it's weird having other roles getting weather now that field is pretty much defined
his kit screams field
sandstorm, johto circle
if he gets field he gets rock zone as well

which ig why they dont want to go that route
Not to mention those are doing better than field itself in a lot of cases
VRhorton can set terrain once and need EX
Others set it twice via EX and maxmove
Reminder today is last reset for the month. Check Shop > Exchange > Rally & Monthly for stuff you want to exchange for. Don't forget Energy Expansion means
are useful again. 
guess who my a10 vh

I got champion upg on last two stage, can still buy one thankfully.
haven't cleared yet kek
I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. Sincerely piss off enemy Solarize.
like I was bingchillin till she solarize 
I have a plan
I'll clap her with nc silver next reset

Next month, yeah
Month after, no
Wait why tho
why not make it exaclty 1M HP for fun 
Not every month has the same number of mondays (weekly resets, including Rally Tickets) in it
This March will have 4 Mondays
This April will have 5 Mondays
Looks like someone's got a case of the Not Enough Mondays
P sure a Rock Field would set rock zone rather than sandstorm so it's fine
Put Sandstorm on its moveset/passives in addition to that, though, and then we're in business
I gotta say, doing 5 full battle rallies in a day is ROUGH
Remember to empty the store within 15 hours. That's when the shop will get the monthly refresh
24000 (Cake vouchers) + 10000 (20
) = 34000 in total
So how important is is using all my remaining runs today to buy up 
I'm gonna get all the cake vouchers for sure
Sync orbs should be accounted too, thanks to energy cap increase
Thats up to you, but getting cake vounchers first is more advised
I'll just bundle 
How much to grab all of the orbs anyway?
5k
Just do 39k on monthly basis 
Uh, how many tickets do we get? 4-5?
Do you need all 3 pairs to have the multiplier ?
Ideally yes
Depends on the number of Monday
Or just 1 is ok
Thats why I said 4-5, can we get more tickets any other ways?
Unless they give out more attempts, it seems like we can only do 4-5 at most
Each match gives a stacking bonus
Always do 3 members team for maximum bonus
They have given us attempts that have expiration date before
Ok
Or if you're me, use Mix Red to carry literally everything and match 2 but only play on VH
Both SST Red and Mix Red can hard carry
Especially in runs with multiple field roles
Mix red really needed his EX before he could solo the whole thing
Cake them for best result
I think I get a cake after my current run?
Cuz with 20 cake vouchers I can get strike for him right
You just need 24k to cover a cake per month, so yeah
I'd recommend going for that before anything else
More cakes -> Higher score later on
I think I have caked almost all my MFs and the Hisui protags
I did pickup the sync orbs since I needed then to kit out my core units on a basic level
I'd still put orb on the lowest priority. Things are still manageable at 60 energy
Unless you really want to tryhard for LG, 70 energy seems excessive
Sure, but if my units weren't even at 60 energy I figured that was important lol
Plus it was something I could grab after my first run, the benefit of a new Role takes another 4 or so runs before seeing any benefit
What is your initial upgrade?
Sinnoh
Your team?
Still the only one lol
I have a total of one upgraded role lmao
Replace Mix Red with a Fairy and/or strong tech
Is your MRed first timer or already used earlier?
Like Katherine if you want to go cheap
I'd rather get 600 points for 2 matches on VH than 500 points on hard.
I'm at sinnoh x4
I can go to x5
Normally x4 is enough though
That's odd. You should be ace-ing it, especially with Red
Unless Rei is no longer Sinnoh 
Even if I flinch perfectly, he gets to his sync before the end of the fight and KOs my whole team from full
Rei is Sinnoh lol
With x4 you should be creaming them
Use max move right at the start with Red and keep spamming his buddy move
My team is at 140 but the disparity shouldn't be that high
Maybe double check if it's really sinnoh upgrade 
You have to change zone
I'd have to drop points in order to do that, might just take the L and do hard
Still, that damage is bizarre. First time seeing MRed being oneshot with x4
Do you have any tech that can setup zone?
Surprisingly not. Geeta is my only zone setter
Ah mb
Actually
If I drop chase for ss Steven and rely on insane flinch luck, I should have the dps
Musharna?
Oh wait is that terrain
I guess you have this one last solution to your problem 
Defog works to clear the zone
Ruins my grassy too
Did the stage start with Dragon Zone? It's still bizarre you're dealing little to no damage
I've been doing sub 1000 most stages at the start
Maybe those 15 levels and dps role make a big difference?
Nah, it shouldn't be that drastic
Thats the end of a flawless fight
Would upgrading to x5 be enough of a damage increase or should I drop to hard?
You will theoretically be doing 20% more damage and taking 17% less damage. For 100, that's fine
I'm a complete dumbass. I finished on hard and realized sinnoh was last set.
Should be easy from here on
So what is your upgrade?
Rival
Debatable
No wonder it's hard
So how are people beating the whole thing with no purchases!
they dont have sanity
One single upgrade is doable with a good roster
@/Arch
But you really need to save scum for MPR etc
I'd just recommend spending 300 per run
That gives you 4x stack which translates to 500% stats
Technically MPR is savescumming since you literally reset for best rng 
So every time I reload game shop refreshes?
No, I mean during battles
For example, abusing Terrain MPR so you can reuse the pair more than 2 stages
Or just the TM
Is that quad moving
Cuz I do that first turn,never figured out how to use it any other time
Quad queuing is more about reflex, but yeah, I assume some reset for that too
Misread this, yea I normally just go to x4 on whatever buff I start with unless it's awful
Next time, make sure to double check the upgrade so you don't get stumped 
What is mpr? I get unlimited use from mix red since his setting isn't limited by uses
MP Refresh, generally referring to grid nodes that have a chance to replenish MP for a TM on consumption
For example, OG Skyla has 2 nodes for Potion MPR, which allows her to keep getting more potions if the rng is good
The Skyla you get from story mode
Right, I've never thought of abusing that before.
With mix red I never use his TMs anyways
Back then, this strategy was exploited during the early days of battle villa 
Mostly to get as many potion out of the potion dispenser
That'll do it...
Of course, in this mode you can use MPR to stack buffs for easier clear
Nope, not getting normal boost in the shop
The only thing i can focus on is the PfP 😭
I’m dying
Also yeah Normal boost is hot trash for you lol, at least you have good supports but that’s ALL you have
Does the suicune 10 need weather change and rebuff?
Yeah the rebuff is the main thing
Welp, guess I gotta do normal lmao
You need to rebuff at the start to do any dmg, and then reapply after it hits 50%
I've got Lucy for VH
And ideally you need to remove rain when it sets it at 50%
Lucy is the easiest Area 10
Idk why but I'm not doing much damage to her
Uhhh idk why
Like only 20k a hit
Is Wise x# or Sentry x# more common in rally? Anyone happen to know?
Not on pc today so can’t easily check until a couple days from now when pc is set back up at new house
Rival buff, stuck with strike plus riley
Mix red has antitoxin in grid so thats swell
Could always throw in a tank instead and lose those points
Thoughts on how to fix?
anyone use points on the sync grid orbs with energy update?
figure priority is roll cake>sync grid orbs>5 star powerups now.
Not really
If you’re going past 60 you have to be able to clearly explain exactly what the orbs are for
Usually it’s picking up an extra Sync tile with the +6 that you had to skip
Worth it for me I have a few characters with 9 or 10 grid options that I wanted to unlock.
I did.
I’m skipping powerups cause I don’t got a shortage of those
20k per 2 energy is so costly and 5 star powerups are easy to get tbh.
but first priority would still be roll cakes
I am good for a while on them since I already five star most units I give a damn about

I don’t ex often anymore if not limited
Wait, should I be using 3/4* powerups or convert them all to 5?
Early on use for most part I think
I’ve been playing since second anni on and off so I don’t even own 3stars anymore barring eggmons
Personally I'd suggest exchanging for just
.
is too steep for new players, and you can get them from lodge anyway
Yea, I just don't have the dps to beat Lucy on VH without apple
Had to drop to normal with 1 bonus. Gross. That said I got Mix an EX role and enough vouchers to EX another unit.
Hm, would Apple Cup on VH still be more points in that case...?
Grats on your win at least
Nope, 600 at best
Which is 100, compared to the 150 I got on normal
I've gotta motivate myself to do 2 more full runs today and get more vouchers
what would get more points? VH with 2 bonus units or H with 3?
ah ty
Wow that EXR on Mix Red makes such a difference.
Managed to buy out vouchers from store so I don't have finish my last rally today!
Ive been playing battle rally for the past week, (just unlocked it) and i can manage normal dificulty at all stages kinda consistently. What are your recommendations to try beating some hard levels here and there depending on the type?
first of all, do you know how battle rally works?
do you know how to teambuild?
have you been reasonably giving your damage dealers their crit buffs and sp atk/atk buffs?
have you been stacking your 100% and 50% buffs? @cosmic robin
All i do is try to get a striker a +6 spatk or atk and 3 crit and then try to outlive the opponent
In normal it works pretty well
I dont know about the 100% and 50%
My team building consists of supereffective striker a buffer if the striker requires more spatk/atk or crit and then fill in with a healer or any unit that will get a rally points multiplier
So, they will give out a boost at the start of the rally, and you can also buy boosts from the bottom left shop
Oh yes i remember
I dont use it that much
I prefer to get more points
But going to try it to fet to hard difs
My theme is Dragon and I have Lucas but he's 1/5 and non ex
my other dragons are Alt Iris (with hydreigon), Lisia, and BP Zinnia
Support Egg Dragonite has a good buffset
Never forget Cyrus
Regular Iris is better than you may expect with the right grid and Lucky
Does Cyrus benefit from it? I thought it was the Dragon theme
Did you forget Cyrus' main type isn't actually water?
OH I was using the wrong filter. I am very silly
i had dragon and bonuses for this battle
You should see quite a few more options then
i am silly
It happens to the best of us
hmm. im not sure who i can use as a main team
Lucas is less of a king and more of a king_maker,_ so you might save him for when you need to throw a second Dragon attacker in alongside him
You see, when you're skilled enough you only need two of those buffs to do VH
gotcha
Would Lisia be helpful?
If the enemy sets terrain/zone, she can blow it away
How many refresh tickets do we get again for battle rally? And at what frequency? (Ex: one ticket every x)
...Hm. Actually, I now realize BP Falkner can do this and is on-region for the Silver/Geeta EBE. Helping others to help myself, in the fashion of Uncle Iroh.
Currently we receive one ticket per week via a weekly mission that respawns on Mondays
Once your initial "burst" is out of the way, that's the pace you get more.
The Rally shop restocks on the 1st of each month (i.e. today is the last day for this cycle).
And what's the recommendation? Only exchange for cakes?
DeNA pulled a funny fucking prank releasing this game mode on literally Jan 31...
That's the top priority, yeah. After that, maybe consider either
or 
They carry over
So you could use excess points from this month on the March stock
are offered at a surprisingly good exchange rate; a brave beginner can considerably ease the earlygame orb starvation, or a veteran player can afford more grid energy expansions
Do the buffs stack? Ex: can i buy multiple sync boosts?
Yes
You generally want to stack for easier grind since each 100 means 100% more stats
Hmmm, is this team sufficient?
I suppose the upgrade is Fairy?
no it's dragon
i have nc blue ex roled but i dont want to use him too early
wait lisia has natural remedy so maybe i can tank with her?
Maybe try to reset for Sycamore TM so you can make use of the gradual healing
i've been doing that
it would be annoying to have to use it twice because i got a status condition though
i think lisia might be too frail for tanking
Yes, Lisia is less tankier than Sycamore
But still, not having any single bonus? I suppose it's Spring + Field
yeah sorry
would it be good to replace Lisia with a sprint/field pair?
These are what I have
What’s the boost setup? (from PomaTools)
this is area 4
Oh hey that was my set this week
nice haha
It’s a lot easier to use random pairs for boosts early on than later on, but ig you don’t have many dragon techs
really?
Yeah the later stages have some stat multiplier, so it’s much easier to throw in a “bad” pair for point boost early on
who should i throw on?
It really depends on how much you’re struggling with this battle
If you’re not struggling, Archer, Victor, or Riley would be good. The other ones would make the stage much easier but could be more necessary later on
I'm struggling a bit, but I will try those
Just make sure to save TRed for stage 10
This is the last stage where Sprints are relevant, so ideally use them up
But none of the Sprint/Fields you have are tanks 
That’s fair, since stage 5 is tech boost
Its OK actually, sprints can still clinch the win with their gmax hastening sync or sth (riley)
im hoping archer's evasion boost can help
When I did my run on this stage I temporarily ignored my starting boost and just brute forced with Rei and some others idr atm
But I do have them invested quite a bit
The classic "kill them before they kill you"
I think it was Rei, Nemona, Riley? With Riley "tanking"
By that I mean he dies first 
Field loves you
Might be a dumb question
We have 4 weeks in March. Averaging 8500 per br so it's just enough for coins and power cards yea?
Prob won't have extra for orbs next month ...
Yes that is sufficient
I still can't reach 8.5k 
Personally with how many orbs are being demanded and how little you get elsewhere I’m prioritizing orbs before pus
100k here vs 1k/event 
Night and day difference
For only 5k medal that’s a steal
2 more hours, guys
I wish they would give us extra rally passes
It's dead challenge time until nc silver drops
They definitely need to hand out more attempts since many still blunder through it
Flying bonus... Should I?
sure it is XD
don't worry when you got a lucky run it will be 9-10k 
Not really great. You can always look for better boosts in the shop after each battle
Me when I tried to look for better than Galar and got stuck with e4 on a support heavy map:
what's a "good" goal? around 7k per run?
7500 if you full match without exrs
All vh
So you wanna try to get over that if you have cakes
Without cakes 7k is prob peak
Without ramming your head into the wall
yeah i get the apple thing at step 10 so i average about 7200 ish 😦
Don’t apple
It's a hard peak to get to btw, you still need to ram your head into the wall when you get field sprint

maybe this week i'll try
Ofc if you lack like any mfs then not much you can do outside of Lucy and maybe Darach
this battle rally got me thinking that i should only pull field sprints for the year lol
Rest prob still need a mf to answer gimmicks reliably unless u got op stuff like most mfs or mix red
is mix red that op?
If you want rally meta, aim for units like Geeta who are field and/or sprint either side and don’t rely on mp
yeah i'm pretty stacked
And make sure to get whoever they add field sprint dual with
but ya know more qol since resetting can be a pain for an 86 year old
Likely to be Koraidon miraidon
I got Akari for BR, hopefully she'll be a great help at 1/5 EXR
Or maybe I should commit to 3/5
she's nothing spectacular at 1/5
if only there were more field candies
Also speaking of Geeta. I didn’t realize till tonight she had sde9 on rockslide
I love Akari though

So I'm willing to commit the candies since she's a fave
geeta definitely amazing for BR
0 setups needed. gauge a bit slow for first turn tho but others buffing anyway
But I'm hoping for SSteven 1/5 powerlevel out of Akari 1/5
Is this copium
my best runs involved getting so many sync boosts in shop and the next one getting interference. viola stonks
Probably. Not many units are there at 1/5
Steven as a aoe beeg nuke even at 1
Not many units can say that

Most others that fit criteria need bmove or max move
Steven he can just do every time you reach sync
Honestly last run I literally only bought three damage boosts
Because ughhhh field coins take so long to make
I hate these honestly
Dude the damage boosts are the best thing
100% damage for only 50 pts
And is multiplicative with stat boosts

Kill or be killed unga bunga go brr
I'm skipping orbs kek
Hope you got like 500k+ then…
so I can insta grab coins next reset
Else skipping orbs you’ll regret prob
I’d rather have orbs than pus
Esp when you have 400 
Not the buffs themselves
It's just that finding specific debuffs suck
"What do you mean I have to debuff accuracy"

Ruffles through my roster
Or that one time I had a defense buff up
So I kept having to fish MPRs from SSA Cynthia
It was any debuff stat thankfully

I guess I got lucky then
yeah
Bought it 
so this month we need 7,250 weekly if only grabbing cake + orbs 29k pts total.
Well, I barely got the Cake Coin Tickets for this month.
Gotta ask: Should I be worried about not being able to get every point possible in the Rally?
as long as you hitting the required pts to grab cake coin vouchers every month. should be good
There’s no need to worry, everything except cake coin vouchers is just a plus you can get somewhere else. I’d also advice if you are not comfortable in getting 8500+ on average to focus on cake coin vouchers only
I’m only getting around 3.2K on average.
