also if youre wondering why lusamine's dead but not: turns out, fire kukui POISONS YOU

what fucking team would WANT to be at half hp?
Any pair with HP Tradeoff or something similar, like Lisia or NC Marnie. Also any pair that does something below half HP, like Pal Candice, Pal Victor, and SS Dawn
hasty marlin
and i murked him the same turn lusamine was dying to poison

Trial Giver as starting boost and Fairy boost is in the A1 shop rn, should i? <:...
You have Penny at 5/5, right? Fairy is probably a better boost
leaden wraith
Penny is only 3/5 
but i want better boosts like Champion or Electric for A10 my seed is Sprint Field and it requires A2's roles to be known

yeah the infographics easier when it varries
that way can see if possible to 2x later with revealed or not

most a1s only have like 2 variance
so its just simpler to compare on graphic
when it does vary

His Sync doesn't do much damage so it's more-so for the stats if anything
Supports gaining Tech EX is generally agreed the worst Role combo
quiet tiger
Which is funny because the inverse (Tech gaining Support) is one of the better ones.
quiet tiger
He gains Moltres but that's 5/5
Also that solo needs really good gears and good shurikans so

static arch
Probably better to buy 2 additional type/region/trainer upgrades and 2 of the 50 point power upgrades. That gives you +300% stats and +200% damage for a total of ×12 damage for same price as having x4 damage and slightly better stats
static arch
I've seen prior discussions saying the base stat and +% power/damage is multiplicative
Obviously that is 2 things to account for in a team compared to 1 though
But some are really general, like if enemy has any stat reduced you get the 100% damage

I hate discord mobile since I can't search if I sent something already in a thread. I probably did last week but idk where to check on mobile.
Anyways, today I got this for my rally. I have preplanned a few teams, however there are stages where I have more than one 2.0x bonus pairs. I'm pretty bad at math but Im thinking of either using both 2.0x units in the early stages or use one and the other in the two stages required (tech and strike, for example). How does this affect the points I get, and which scenario should I focus on? So far I'm at area 4 where this issue first came into play

I think we need to write some feedbacks so that the mode will allow us to reset a crappy run. Or one where you mess up such as switching out pairs
At the moment everything is so permanent that it can get annoying
Especially for newer players who can't be bothered to learn how to do it

I mean if they put a reset button there it would be quite abusable
Or at least I would abuse the heck out of it

Reset until lucky stage?
I mean, it's currently annoying for me since I only got one single lucky stage
And it's supposed to have 20% chance to show up. My ass

Nah it's more like being able to know your area 10 means able to recklessly use your UB sync pairs
Without spending points btw

You can always reset the map if the player choose to undo the progress

its very dependent on how reliably you think you can answer UBs without blue for if you spend him or not
naive tendon
i have never cleared a ub before without him 💀
idt
one sec
actually yeah idk how i'd do area 10 without apple cup or nc blue boost
even if i did very hard i'd have to tank with a tech
i have a few that can but none reliably for a ub
hasty marlin
stack a stat to +300% and damage to +300% sort of area, is your best bet either way in this mode for smooth clears. either way sounds like you have your answer
naive tendon
tysm!
is it better to get like
these initial boosts early?
or get them on a per-need basis
hasty marlin
these initial boosts early?
depends on if you think itll be reliable for your a10 possible teams. if you think you can easily activate it in the a7-10 range, definitely fine to get to x3 early, beyond x3 of a boost id only get as-needed
since usually x3 stat + x3 damage is enough to clear most maps especially if you have a UB-capable box
make sure to look out for boosts like Any Status or Any Stat Drop or Crit damage conditions (the triangles)
as theyre often easy for almost any role to activate
naive tendon

Rare. I think current speculation puts it at a 20% chance to show up per Rally?
Which means you'll average... A little less than one per month
wary kayak
I mean you probably haven't run 100 rallies so if you already found one and it is 1%, then you're lucky as fuck
tame forge
Using 2x boost 3 times is actually counter productive isn't it?
Like it hits the cap
On the same area*
Oh nah, I just checked the pin

The best moment is when you have pairs for the right UB but they banned you from using them

Oh wait, Darach does too when I don't have much option to deal with him
Argenta and Lucy are certainly the easier UB
I guess I will put Thorton in that department too

i think anabel is striaght up impossible for me w/o nc serena unused
never been able to clear darach or palmer

Fluid fortification is annoying without Serena
And she buffs harder than even Latias it's unreal

I suppose Archer or variety Giovanni?

Field is rarer.

Its always good to try unusual strats out

Gio also is kind of self-sufficient and has 3 types for coverage.
sudden hull
Its always good to try unusual strats out <:SidneyYippee:992636893810409472>
i mean it works mainly cuz of first aid 6 and tm endure
ebon valve
Archer is a good 2ndary unit to setup multipliers.
sudden hull
took some resets though for enough mprs whee
leaden wraith
I suppose Archer or variety Giovanni?
I would recommend going for EXR Archer, Tech + Sprint is a very rare combo, while we have 6 Field + Strike pairs

I need some math help
I have 3 units with 2.0x bonus. however, they cannot beat area 10 because BS Palmer moment on Hard and BS Lucy moment on VH. I get 1200 points total if i do Very hard correct?
i cannot math rn.

well she has HB5
hasty marlin
ok heres the deal chat
ive got enough coins + tickets built up to cake anyone that i want, but im stuck between Steven, Riley, and Silver.
Steven: support sync go brrr, but already finished HSE so not as necessary atm, already destroys psychic content without it.
Riley: Might help me with Palmer, but I think I'm still missing a piece of the puzzle to beating that fight. EXR isn't likely to go from halfbar to dead till I candy Gloralt or get a new fav in the type. He is a fav, but I'm a bit sad about his nuke's performance even on a single target level.
Silver: He sounds really good, I'm in the process of pulling him still, but I could save it for him as I will most likely candy him, thus would have 2 sync multipliers and a circle extension to work with.
tame forge
Steven > Silver > Riley imo
hasty marlin
excluding field in the choice cause i just let them naturally build up for that role
leaden wraith
I would only recommend caking someone when you really need their roles for points, like what i did with SS Dawn this week
leaden wraith
Yup
hasty marlin
yea i skipped her though
tame forge
Hm I already have 3 sprint support units but it is tempting
hasty marlin
didnt have interest in the duo of mons featured for sinnoh va for her and cyrus
leaden wraith
Like i saw A8 being Support Sprint so i decided to cake her, especially i was forced to move Rosa to A5
hasty marlin
so from how it sounds, wait for either steven or silver to rolematch somewhere good for them, and do it then for one of those two, generally?
was originally planning to just instantly do steven but that was before i realized how much he trivializes 180k for this hse
languid citrus
so from how it sounds, wait for either steven or silver to rolematch somewhere g...
That sounds like the ideal plan. Since you could even save it for some other pair you want/need more
hasty marlin
i imagine if a team i can replicate does show up, that leaves open the option of emergency exr on riley if it happens by then. alright, sounds good. hopefully i keep overperforming enough to get a headstart in next months tickets too
i like having leftover medals for a cushion to fall back on

Thats true as long as you only cake units for BR. Like I caked Anni May without hesitation because she is very good with Field and ultra fave

i have rival upgrade and tech/support stage 1 and pomatools doesn't show any role for stage two

It probably means there are branching paths so you need to clear stage 1 and manually input stage 2 role info

ok now i see why no one uses sun for darach
tame forge
That should be enough
tame forge
can use anni n
Stage 1 is really easy so really you can your weaker pairs

I feel bad for who got Electric week Aaron on A9

None of them are sprint though I suppose

its a stage that basically was "haze me or you are DEAD"

literally if he acted once it didnt matter who was being targeted, that unit was dead, esp cause i was on e4 boost without a 2x match for it
leaden wraith
Blame who designed Foebe's kit
hasty marlin
was honestly surprised i even got a run where i staggered him EVERY turn
cause i assumed id be seeing myself buying a oneuse item on that shit
as soon as i got close with zerena though on a fairly bad run though, i knew i had to commit to it with just the +300% dmg

Sorry Gakon, accidental ping

How am I gonna go through this run with this fighting roster <:GeetaTired:121198...
time to start looking for a new boost in shop
tame forge
Yeah, keep going through early stages using some miscellaneous fighting types and check shop every new area
No need to buy reinforcements just yet
prisma gyro
There's dark and unova upgrade in the shop. Dark can boost my nc calem with rolex, but unova covers more units.
hasty marlin
go with the one that gives the wider result of decent units
thats your best chance when theres so many gimmicks to answer
prisma gyro
Should i buy unova boost now or wait to see if there'll be a better one? I'm thinking sst red will carry stages 8-10, so electric or kanto would be nice
hasty marlin
id personally just bite the bullet if you have stuff thatd help you in the long haul in unova
ive had runs where i turn down a region where itd be ok-ish and end up literally emptyhanded at the end
its just shooting yourself in the foot to turn them down if you arent super confident in working with the dealt hand
only reason i tend to get away with it is cause i splurge fast on the damage boosters and have a developed roster dating back from 2nd anni, and have stayed somewhat active barring a hiatus
only had my first situation of either dropdown or apple cup this week, which was because both stages were anabel with strike sprint
pretty hard to answer anabel under those roles
esp with bug boost
prisma gyro
Oof, i'll take what i can get then, a bird in the hand and all that
Especially when unova covers nc rosa
stiff flume
How am I gonna go through this run with this fighting roster <:GeetaTired:121198...
Early on use eggmon to fill the role/theme
If you're low on units
This way you can keep the useful ones for later
And for the last battle, you can keep Brawly (for potions and debuffs)
Unless you pick up a better theme
prisma gyro
I forgot about eggmons. I already bought unova boost. Funny that it keeps showing up.
prisma gyro
Seriously, unova boost shows up on every stage. It's like the game knows fighting boost sucks for me and is saying "use this instead"
pearl lion
that ones almost useless for anyone w/o ssa cynthia
hasty marlin
Seriously, unova boost shows up on every stage. It's like the game knows fightin...
once you take a boost, it always shows up
thats another penalty for using more than one of each boost type, the more you spread out your investments, the less the shop offers you new things
once youre at 4 unique stat+damage boosts total, youre basically never seeing a new one again
as the second row is basically entry/on-move stuff and onward is one-use items
prisma gyro
hasty marlin
you can basically see this in action from my documented run this week, since i bought 2 move boosts, i was limited to 1 slot from 5 onward to look for a theme
apparently i forgot to document one of my crit buys, dunno where i did it
prob was a8
when im documenting my runs, i try to always document new themes and damage boosts offerred, along with sales if they land on anything but the mp/hp refresh slots
ionic sigil
Man that NY Dawn stage is always hell whenever it shows up
hasty marlin
the main reason i didnt document a5's shop is cause i was like half asleep when i did that clear
so didnt have the doc open when i was clearing a5 this time around
prisma gyro
That's this week done. Not bad at all.
