Battle Rally

[carmine glade]

Well then use units to make it faster

[hasty marlin]

That’s why you bring a buffer

Anni n takes just as long to set up

If not longer

[carmine glade]

Right

[hasty marlin]

And make sure you’re activating your theme item

Please for the love of arceus do not ignore it

[carmine glade]

They probably are

[hasty marlin]

Even in area 1 I make sure to activate it as easy as it is

That way I can literally tank with without any worry

[nimble tide]

damn

i did the math wrong a bit

but still

losing 1-2 feathers

not bad

Sure it stacks to like 1000 pts at the end of the month but when i make about 9k3 consistently and exchanged all orbs, rally tickets and 5* tickets i think i should be fine

[plush anchor]

So someone do quick math with me

[karmic briar]

First time hitting 10K

[plush anchor]

I have 2 striker/support remaining
And 3 Striker/sprint units remaining

Would it be better

To use 1 of the striker supports at stage 8 through 10

Or should I just save the 2 for stage 10

And use all 3 strikersprinters on stage 9

[severe bronze]

the latter is better

2700 vs 2850

[simple frost]

yeah just in case you are unable to clear A10

[severe bronze]

thats assuming you can do VH at A10

[simple frost]

at least you got as much points as possible

[severe bronze]

[plush anchor]

I can clear this time around

No matter the stage

Good boosts

[severe bronze]

nice

[simple frost]

kewl

[quiet tiger]

Decentish seed but great boost

[severe bronze]

wait jo actually

its the same thing

lmao

it doesnt matter

[plush anchor]

Is it

[severe bronze]

i cant math

yeah

1st option 900 + 1050 + 1050

2nd option 750 + 1200 + 1050

[plush anchor]

You're mathing alright

[severe bronze]

oh

actually 2nd option better

[plush anchor]

1 boosted unit makes 900?

[severe bronze]

NO WAIT ITS THE SAME

help

1 boosted is 900 yes

2 is 1050

3 is 1200

[plush anchor]

So 1st option is 900 + 1050 + 1050
2nd option is 750 + 1050+ 1200

[severe bronze]

both options will end up 3k

[plush anchor]

I see

[gentle maple]

Nice grats

[plush anchor]

I don't know which to take then

[severe bronze]

always gamble

might get lucky area

[plush anchor]

I think easier to leave the boosts together

Oh

Ohh

Incase i get lucky area

I should keep my boosted for A10

Good thinking

[severe bronze]

can always cope for lucky area

[plush anchor]

If i use in A8 1 boosted, I lower my A10

Ye ye

You right

[timid hound]

Is it just me or is SSSilver useless at 1/5

This man misses one Triple Axel and suddenly his DPS plummets

[severe bronze]

triple

at least he can still cut a turn with his bmove

[timid hound]

sTILL

Okay fk this I'd rather use LSilver than play Triple

[plush anchor]

Well well
It's Darach A10
Wasted my boosts

Ofc when I have good boosts and ready for anabel or Palmer I get Darach

[timid hound]

You got desire sensor'd

[plush anchor]

It's less about desire and how lucky I can be prepared

When I get very lucky boosts

I get weak stages

When I get shit boosts
Annabel + Palmer laughing in the background

[dense latch]

btw has someone already looked up the most common pair combinations in all the different BR combinations?

is there data on that?

[timid hound]

Probably Strike-Support and Support-Sprint

I'll tell you what it's not tho: Sprintfield

[severe bronze]

tech support is the most common

followed by sprint field

[dense latch]

where is the source

haha

[normal python]

Hmmmm

[gentle maple]

I thought it was pinned

Guess not

[leaden wraith]

I bring the sauce

[gentle maple]

Oh nice

[timid hound]

How the hell did this team clear lol

[gentle maple]

Reasons why u should Rolex your elaine because support tech

[timid hound]

A10 Palmer

[gentle maple]

I've cleared an a9 with nc red, fall roxanne, pal Candice twice with no theme boost

[severe bronze]

smh doubting the #1 support/tech hater

[gentle maple]

Pal Candice tanking too

[timid hound]

Honestly

[leaden wraith]

Smh NC Red the cheat code

[timid hound]

Rally do be making some funky teams and I love it

[gentle maple]

Nc red is just that good because turn denies

[gentle maple]

It's still an a9 clear I take those

[timid hound]

This was a rough BR points wise

But at least my A10 is free

[gentle maple]

Eh calling Palmer free

[timid hound]

I have NCHop

[gentle maple]

How many theme boost

[timid hound]

And my role bonus is field tech

1

[gentle maple]

I wouldn't call that free

[timid hound]

I'll make it work

[gentle maple]

That's almost always default to hard unless your store has ultra jelly or gelato/dango

[timid hound]

Palmer is that bad???

[gentle maple]

Try it

U might be able to survive sync but u won't survive max move

Palmer is never free unless the themes and roles line up

Like I've only seen a few team clears with 2 boost

[timid hound]

Who gave this man anti freeze

Okay let's see what's in shop

[gentle maple]

More like who gave him piercing blows

U can't even vigilance his crit

Only crit wall can block his crit

[normal python]

Next UB has Piercing Blows with Unhindered+ to ignore crit protection field

[gentle maple]

Actually brutal pls no

At least make it weak to fire or water

[timid hound]

My shop item are pants

Quick cookies tf

[normal python]

We already have water and fire weak UB so no

[gentle maple]

Could always repeat it if u gonna do such a hard gimmick

[normal python]

Make it flying weak

[gentle maple]

Or next UB is darkrai with PB dark void

[normal python]

https://tenor.com/view/melony-pokemon-pokemon-sword-and-shield-spin-gif-26121907

[gentle maple]

Yeah u better hope your roles match

Or just make darkrai have unhindered for VH but don't have it for Hard

[timid hound]

Team Wide Awake trust

[normal python]

BTW, Piercing Blows only ignores damage mitigation

So Wide Awake would still counter PB status effects

[gentle maple]

Hmm

I guess they have to make a new passive to make status moves go through passives then

Cant recall they make one

[formal gull]

Striker evasion tank meta

[fair ember]

Wtf is this hahaha Level 8 Meloetta DPS mode versus Champion Marnie

Yalls wish you had my Level 10

[formal gull]

Yooo it ain't a myth

Kinda wanna EXR my penny now for that extra bonus not like I have anyone to cake this month anyway

[peak gale]

This week was pretty shit. I'm just glad the last stage wasn't that stupid Entei woman

[karmic briar]

Do it

[formal gull]

Turns out I have enough of those daily tickets to get like 12 coins

So my rally tickets are saved

[muted sparrow]

Anyone know what is this stage ?

[formal gull]

NC Nate event BC

Not sure if I remember it having any particular gimmick tho

[normal python]

Rei has Satisfied Snicker and has Devastation

I had to give my Chase Dauntless to prevent that

[karmic briar]

I don’t think it’s neo champ Nate bc there’s flying as main type, mmmh…

[urban ledge]

Halfway through then real life hits haha

Real life known as breaking fast

[fair ember]

It seems i underestimated the power of Lucy.

[muted sparrow]

Is this Tea SC BC ?

[formal gull]

It's NC Nate I still remember it clear, i'm not too sure why flying is the main type tho

use it with base Nate too ig

[normal python]

I think that's the point

[formal gull]

Ye

[muted sparrow]

Ty

[fair ember]

Yes and its super difficult

[formal gull]

How possible is it to win Argenta without a second rebuff? I might EXR oleana since I got tech/support bonus

[fair ember]

I barely cleared with SS Lyra

[formal gull]

I'm planning to go with Bulurola/SS Steven/Oleana, have x2 of speed buff and any lowered stats buff

[fair ember]

Thts difficult

[severe bronze]

idt you can bruteforce with ss steven nuke

except

[formal gull]

Guess not worth the chase then

Oh well

[stark dawn]

does anyone know what stage it is?

ah apparently it's the ss serena one uh

[formal gull]

Zerena bc

Does that stage have acute sense? Cus I remember trying to do this bc when I was still super new I got wrecked

[stark dawn]

idk, i was watching a stream and they got that stage
ig it's acute senses since it recommends to confuse it

[urban ledge]

Woo sweet results. Could be better with my roster but not by much

Also I dodged the double Palmer bullet there LMAO

[stark dawn]

so close from being Hell lol

[gentle maple]

Tech support for palmer isn't that bad

Chop/SSA Cynthia and some accel like ss elesa

But yeah really dodged a bullet still

[urban ledge]

No Chop no Rei haha

[lost cliff]

didn't need to get any boosts this week! area 10 field strike, nate and akari had a field day

[sudden hull]

oh yeah akari just shits on darach

[formal gull]

Unlimited Fields Work

[lost cliff]

true !

boost was champion

[simple frost]

Hum.

[craggy helm]

Crying I was an idiot and used RoleEX anni May in earlier stages instead of area 6 bc sprint/field and I have psychic boost

[stark dawn]

Having to delay Rally to Friday because of May's EX role

[proven matrix]

First time I have three 2.0x bonus

And I'm wasting them on area 3

[carmine glade]

No other strike tech area?

[gentle maple]

Next time use pomatools to plan out your Rolex areas

[proven matrix]

area 8 but i have rock boost so no thanks

[normal python]

It's useless for me anyways because my stages don't have sprint/tech bonus anyways

Tho there is sprint/strike, so SS Gladion's potential was wasted

[craggy helm]

I did, however I started BR at like 3 AM and wasn't thinking

[gentle maple]

Don't do it so late at night next time then

[craggy helm]

Noted

[viral loom]

What has more value to save for an unknown harder Tech/Supp battle, NCCalem or SSSteven?

Assuming 3/5 SSSteven and 2/5 NCCalem

[gentle maple]

Steven

Can act as main tank or secondary dps

[stiff flume]

Worth, I just dumped ncLeaf n ncSerena on stage 3
Gambling mode on
At worst I have 300 extra points to spend on bonus

[gentle maple]

Also calem kinda folds fast in terms of UB

[viral loom]

Nah I just got 3 Tech/Supp stages, one being UB, but I'm only saving NCSerena for that one

Was wondering about which one for stage 3 and which one for stage 7

I could save 1 more for UB, but dunno if it is safe to only have 1 free slot to adapt

[gentle maple]

Steven can keep going for many areas if the consecutive bonus are there

Tho having 2 free slots is better to adapt for UB

[viral loom]

Sadly I have to ditch it after 2 rounds for max points

[ebon valve]

[stiff flume]

Oof

Got that last time

[ebon valve]

Got Unova in shop. My BR team is just Scottie?

[pseudo egret]

...uhhh...

The replacement in the shop is E4

Which is not much better

Since a10 issues

Someone help me

[stiff flume]

Just go ahead, clear the first stages chekcing the shop every time for something good
The bonus you own will always reappear (to let you stack them) so don't buy the first stuff you see or you'll end filling the shop with junk, with no chance for other theme to appear

[proven matrix]

mfw support field on area 10 and the only competent fielder i have is sst red but i cant complete it since

1. argenta in VH
2. rock boost
3. no good rock pairs

i have geeta but she's not really good in this stage

im in a pickle

[glass patrol]

Guess

How long did I use rei

[proven matrix]

and i dont wanna do hard

never

[glass patrol]

wut

[stiff flume]

It's a matter of score, if you can clear the stage with just two x0.5 (and not spending anything)
Is better than three x0.5 on hard
Do you have ncleaf caked?

[proven matrix]

no

no

i havent spent anything

i shouldve not spent my mix red early

i am stoop

wait but that means i wouldnt get the 2.0x boost from him

[stiff flume]

Ye, you're just moving 150 points in the end

[proven matrix]

ima try one more time to see if i can get it without a rock

[stiff flume]

But doubt he will help a lot there, so is usually fine dumping for a double bonus

What's your core team?

[proven matrix]

nc blue, sst red, ss acerola

all 3/5

red is caked

i have gym leader upgrade in the shop but none of those are gym leaders

[stiff flume]

Shop is giving you something? Like the Jelly, some are really powerful (the one gives 300% stats for just 100)

[proven matrix]

speed jelly

thats it

[stiff flume]

Oof

[proven matrix]

all i have is worthless stuff that only helps for gauge

and sp def boost

on a physical oriented stage

maybe i can buy the gym leader boost and use ss morty

but i dont want to go the coward's way out

[stiff flume]

To use that rock boost and remove weather alltogether I was thinking abt TL Raihan or Gordie
Gordie can also use an extra rebuff to deal with Argenta passive

[proven matrix]

gordie is tech

lodge raihan i tried

but argenta's stupid 50% rain summon ruins it

[stiff flume]

Ye but I mean
Two bonus unit on VH
Is better than 3 on hust H

[proven matrix]

o true

[stiff flume]

Check how far you can push that TL raihan, the pain from not synching with ncBlue till 50% is kinda meh
But maybe with one extra rock boost, still 650 profit

[quiet apex]

Area 4. Striker and Field you say Drasna? Okay.

[proven matrix]

i can only push him for so long

refreshing rain and the rain damage boost passive is so annoying

[quiet apex]

I still stick by this belief.
Since Rally was added Maybunny is a better unit than EBurgh.

[gentle maple]

From a5 to a10

[stiff flume]

ssMorty is a Gym Leader eventually if you have him

[glass patrol]

i thought so too

but then thorton said fuck you

and i was like i want ssac and rosa boost

so im banging my head

[gentle maple]

Thorton isn't so bad

[gentle maple]

Nc leaf with those 2?

[glass patrol]

mhm

thorton is bad cuz i cant pierce the damage barrier

cuz i have dark boost and fighting damage

[gentle maple]

Yeah that seed looks kinda nasty with the amount of sprints

Sprint tech x3
Sprint support x1
Sprint field x2

Yikes

[proven matrix]

ran out of e terrains when you mentioned this

lets see how long i last

38%

[glass patrol]

Hatred

[proven matrix]

if only blue can summon e terrrain

[glass patrol]

Fuck it I’m buying an item

I was so close

I’m sad

its on sale at least

[hybrid abyss]

Didn't you suggest buying anything worthwhile that's also on sale? Pretty sure this sanity investment is worth infinitely more than attempting some kind of kaizo run.

[proven matrix]

i was not told argenta can remove rebuff

[carmine glade]

Did you use blue rebuff twice

[gentle maple]

Now u know

[proven matrix]

rn yea

[carmine glade]

Then just save it

[proven matrix]

rip

just used it

[gentle maple]

Looks really close maybe a quad queue or 2 can clear?

[proven matrix]

so far on a decent run

[stiff flume]

That's why I suggested Gordie early
Did you got her?

[proven matrix]

so close

damn

ran out of e terrain

[stark dawn]

at least from 2 to 5

[proven matrix]

wait

im almost there

LFG she ded

and only 100 points wasted

9100

[gentle maple]

Nah seems like it's 5 to 9

[ebon valve]

So I'm banking on hopefully being on set 24 and not 11...

there's a unova upgrade, and set 24 is 8x sprint. I could use ncRosa for all of it

But if it's set 11...

[glass patrol]

I did indeed buy the thing on sale

I just feel sadge cuz I thought I could clear without it

All in all this team did great cuz the only boost was fighting boos

Which might’ve actually helped idk

I am bad at finding the correct screenshot

[glass patrol]

5-9

[stark dawn]

What? Not on 2 ??

[glass patrol]

Nope

It would’ve been net neutral

[gentle maple]

5-9 is actually better because sprint role rare

[astral path]

What is the max amount of points for a full team of 2.0 multiplier on a very hard stage vs a hard stage?

[gentle maple]

1200 vs 800

[astral path]

Mmm… yeah ok I’m buying an item to clear the stage then lol

[gentle maple]

U can even buy 2

[astral path]

This is what I’m dealing with.

Wallace surf one shot my whole team and I just went “yep ok what’s the score for hard because that’s even a psychic weak stage” lol

[gentle maple]

Think the rain is the problem here?

[astral path]

Probably but I may be able to item it. I have the ultra jelly in shop which boosts my stats by 300%

[gentle maple]

That should do it

Ultra jelly so good

[astral path]

So uh who is this stage for usually? I normally just apple cup but I may be able to take it out with smaller items. Though the field isn’t helping much.

These are my items in shop btw

Also my water and ghost types for the ghost boost and the water weakness

[tame forge]

nc serena and ss kris

[astral path]

Damn yeah I figured SS Kris would be one of them. I was so happy and was about to put her on. Then I realized “aw crap she’s not a tech…”

[tame forge]

And another water type that can help with dps

Other rain setters on turn 1 also work

Instead of ss kris

So maybe May

[astral path]

I was gonna say probably May or dahlia

[tame forge]

Yeah

And then a sustain unit to keep them alive

Damage wise you should be fine

[astral path]

I wish I didn’t use my Misty yet I use her for tanking whenever it’s a higher up tech stage that needs a tank. I had this as my run though this week

[carmine glade]

Debuffs also

[tame forge]

Caked calem could help but you wouldn't have your ghost type

Also no one wants to cake calem

[astral path]

Yeah I was about to say I have a tech cake but I don’t really see the point in putting it on Calem or like half the units who can take tech since they’re all supports

[carmine glade]

Fluid fortification would like to have a word with you

Unless Elaine debuffs

[astral path]

If Halloween Pheobe was like at all good I’d put it on her but like she just sucks

[tame forge]

He has Serena so that's not gonna be a huge issue

[astral path]

I made her 3/5 too back then since I just had so many candies ;-;

[tame forge]

She's great

[astral path]

Is she? Whenever I try to use her it dosent go too well.

[tame forge]

Yeah she's nutty

[astral path]

Wait who are we saying here, NC Serena or Halloween Pheobe?

[tame forge]

Can struggle sometimes with sides but that doesn't happen often

NC Serena

[astral path]

Oh yeah no I love using Serena. I was talking about Halloween Pheobe

[tame forge]

Mb

Anyway sounds like a good support

Give it a shot with Serena, may and phoebe

You might need another boost though

[astral path]

Is need to cake her first for the boost.

[tame forge]

Could also just do the hard challenge if you don't wanna invest, should be fairly easy

[carmine glade]

Anabel with barely any boosts on vh sounds like a pain

Who’s the hard fight

[astral path]

I may just try to do the hard version then. If I can’t clear that I’ll just apple cup and throw my team against the very hard wall

Palmer

[tame forge]

Hard with no apple cup gives more points

[carmine glade]

Well with tech boost there’s probably more options

[tame forge]

But if you wanna have fun with it then by all means

[carmine glade]

Since Palmer is just punching hard and fast

[astral path]

Yeah that’s what I was saying. I’ll go for hard and if I can’t beat that I’ll go apple cup on very hard

[tame forge]

Ah okay, yeah good call

[ebon valve]

and ofc it was track 11

[twilit chasm]

Geeta carries

[sudden hull]

for the first 6 areas anyway

[twilit chasm]

Tho it’s annoying that my theme boost is galar which is just victor being field 💀

I want at least 750 per stage so picking units at a2 sucks smh

[stark dawn]

If I get lucky on area 10 I cant get 10100 points this week, without a lucky area

it's huge

[twilit chasm]

Only have 4 sprint bruh 😭

[ebon valve]

for Zygarde.
Good thing ncBlue counters Lucy.

[stark dawn]

he doesn't drop speed

[ebon valve]

was able to survive sync with x3 stats

[stark dawn]

nice

[glass parcel]

It's my first lucky area ahhh!!!!! What do I do?

It says lvl 10 so is it easy to beat or is there a catch?

[languid scaffold]

Idk what im missing here. I got ground damage. I got speed debuffs i got antitoxn and yet Lucy is still being a pain. I came prepared this week

[ebon valve]

they die to one hit, use as many roles as possible for a big bonus

[ebon valve]

how many stat buffs?

[glass parcel]

Well I'm gonna use 3 strikers because I'm saving my only sprint pair Riley further! Thankssss!!!

[languid scaffold]

I been trying to spam icy wind as much as possible. So a consistent amount

[glass patrol]

How much boostage

[languid scaffold]

Oh to myself? I been using the trainer moves to max everyday so usually +6

[ebon valve]

I mean rally shop boosts

how much are your stats/damage being multiplied by?

[languid scaffold]

Oh just by the 1x boost. I didn’t really buy any and my bonus this weak was rock

[ebon valve]

well +100% is going to be really hard, as Area 10 on VH is double what the normal UB has

what's the team?

[languid scaffold]

SS Giovani OG Irida and Sonia or Courtney tried both

[sharp haven]

wow, lucky Battel Rally stage lineup for me, and luckier coz I got Water Upgrade bonus and Water moves bonus

[mild kiln]

got I think a high score

8,750

[ebon valve]

Did you even get close to KO before her 2nd sync? Because that indicates you're lacking damage. Which is when you may need to consider buying another stat boost or seeing if one of the 100 pt items are worthwhile.

[ebon valve]

Near 9k is good.

[languid scaffold]

Nope i died before she even did her first. Honestly that was on me, i was to focused on saving points for medals

[mild kiln]

I did miss a double boost because I didn't think it through and used archer on the first field/sprint stage instead of the second which was right after tech/sprint
and I missed a single boost on an early stage because it was like strike/sprint and doing it without a support without wasting a potentially clutch striker for down the line sounded like suffering

but I did very hard ultimate battle without apple cup for the first time

starting boost was ground which sucked so I picked up sinnoh down the line
bp candice couldn't survive argenta's sync with double boost so I bought a 3rd one and max invested her to make absolutely sure she would survive the sync on the next attempt cause I did NOT want to have to do it again

[ebon valve]

https://i.imgur.com/zHzN6MT.png

[stark dawn]

oh yeah that's much less confusing than the previous one

you could try to hide these lines tho ||/j no one would see them||

[ebon valve]

I thought an image was loading

[stark dawn]

lol

[ebon valve]

Can chill

[stark dawn]

i mean i just caked another support to tech today

[ebon valve]

I’d probably do Elaine, but I don’t have her.

[stark dawn]

did elaine and calem, and today victor

[ebon valve]

Calem is on my list, but little desire for extra bulk

[karmic wraith]

oh cool lets see my villain supports-

[stark dawn]

villain is rough

[carmine glade]

Simply use a throwaway

[karmic wraith]

i just exr'd ss gladion hopefully he can carry the final stage

nvm he wont have a bonus 💀

kanto upgrade in the shop my beloved

actually which is better between kanto upgrade and champion upgrade

[stark dawn]

kanto imo

sst red and nc blue gaming

[ebon valve]

Champion has NCs which is nice

I see they reset your BR team completely now

[stark dawn]

probably to "fix" that glitch where if you had a skill gear in that team, you can't modify the gear

[karmic wraith]

new pb, maybe i’ll hit 9k soon

need to exr more units

[simple frost]

That is something i'd run NC Rosa with o.o

From 1 to A10

if not NC Rosa, Aura Cynthia

[glass patrol]

By th e time they get to a10 they’ll be bruised and battered

Would need to buy more item for ub imo

[simple frost]

not unless you run NC Rosa on your 2nd slot

[glass patrol]

Wdym

[simple frost]

Some techs can take a beating before going down.

[glass patrol]

Oh that’s what u mean

I could but every aoe I took would’ve sucked

[simple frost]

depends on upgrades, but i only used NC Rosa'ss potion around A7 and above

[ionic sigil]

NC Rosa can also heal a little bit at 3/5 whenever she hits a confused enemy. Probably still rough

[viral loom]

Very fast BR, haven't been able to use any Strike/Tech but still decent non-lucky score, Electric starting buff makes this extremely easy

[fathom lance]

Best I've done so far lol

[simple frost]

rough on the points, but gj ;o

[zealous plover]

Should I use SST Red already?

[quiet apex]

Meh week and it shows why I save up my points.

[stiff flume]

After so long, no double roles but I guess it's fine

[forest tendon]

would I be considered crazy to Cake Archer (since he's the only Tech/Sprint combo at this time)? Has anyone else done this? my other options for my Tech cake are SC Irida, Rose or supports (I already Caked NC Red so he's my go to Strike/Tech unit)

[pseudo egret]

consider that you're investing 24k points worth of cake coins

are you going to get that investment back that soon

do you think tech sprint will show up often enough

don't get me wrong I'm also a BR enthusiast

but if you don't enjoy using Archer

it's going to be a long time before RoI happens

[stiff flume]

I have him too and faced that choice bcs an extra tech cake left but concluded it's not worth early on by two main reasions

• Support+Tech appear almost twice the time of Sprint+Tech, so is kinda better to invest into them
• He's quite useful sprint unit, caking him will limit his use and put you between picking a x2 or optimizing team and themes

As exaple this turn I do have a sprint+tech round, but also two stages of field+sprint and Johto theme
If I caked him I wouldn't use him for double bonus anyway

I don't have too many sprint units and having someone raising team evasion while providing speed and few flinches is extremely useful, he saved my ass so many times as wildcard

Later when we'll have enough coverage could be a good choice imo

[sweet mango]

Should I cake 1/5 anni may or 3/5 ss may next?

[proven matrix]

lucky you

i havent gotten one in ages

[stiff flume]

I would cake ssMay, she's strong and already invested

[severe bronze]

tech sprint is also a rare combo

[simple frost]

SS May says hi in a few days

[wary kayak]

That's exactly who they're talking about ye

Tech Field or Tech Sprint would be a tricky choice indeed if not for that move level advantage

[simple frost]

i'm basically waiting for her since my battle rally run is stuck :

[leaden wraith]

C Elesa is also going to get Sprint as well

[wary kayak]

Might not have the time/energy to play it rn but I should at least walk into the Rally and see my freebie...

[pseudo egret]

[wary kayak]

Hunh, they emptied my Rally team. Last time it just left my previous A10 team in when I next walked in

[leaden wraith]

That's weird, i got the same thing too

[timid hound]

I take it back, Palmer is hard as sh*t

[wary kayak]

Freebie is Flying type. And I only have 14 pairs plus eggs

[timid hound]

Roles don't line up

Boosts don't line up

[leaden wraith]

Flying is not a great type in general

[timid hound]

Lines don't line up

[pseudo egret]

Have you seen what's on the shop?

[timid hound]

Yes and they're all BAD

[pseudo egret]

If you find countdown mochis or sth

[timid hound]

Quick Cookies gtfo

[pseudo egret]

It might be salvageable

[polar fable]

[timid hound]

Let's see one more time

[wary kayak]

Is that Facility Foe

[polar fable]

Gym leader

[pseudo egret]

that's rival

huh

[severe bronze]

isnt rival red

[leaden wraith]

Rival is red i think

I got it this week

[pseudo egret]

oh I have yellow screen saver

[wary kayak]

Gym Leader is awesome. Not a lotta game breakers but looooooads of useful options

[pseudo egret]

that;s why it looked red

oops

[pseudo egret]

BFF is black...because, of course.

[timid hound]

Pretty awful

[pseudo egret]

what does the sundae do again

[timid hound]

+6 all stats

[severe bronze]

whats the bonus

i see chop chop

[polar fable]

Hmmm

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

Johto and Champ

Maybe I should buy 1 more champ boost

SSTRed Chop

I don't know if that'll clear tho

Also 1/5 Chop

Ain't no way I'm sinking tech candies into flightless birb

[polar fable]

I think ill be able to clear palmer if I can get tech/sprint and a boost that chop, rei, and/or nc rosa fit

[severe bronze]

you can turn off his defense and still debuff speed with 1/5 chop

[polar fable]

I did it first try in the actual one so

[wary kayak]

Brown flightless birb. Mf thinks he's a one-headed Doduo

[timid hound]

Real

[severe bronze]

what you need is actually damage multiplier

[polar fable]

Ill do my BR later too lazy rn

[severe bronze]

but there isnt anything good there

[timid hound]

I see Ice Moves +100%

I COULD bring NCRed

NCRed SSTRed Chop

If Regi didn't have Antifreeze could do that

Do sides have antifreeze

Probably

[severe bronze]

yes

[timid hound]

Joever

[severe bronze]

i think chop sc steven could still work with another champ boost?

idk though

[timid hound]

I wish I could sandbox it

Like, try it before I commit buying items

[pseudo egret]

You can...try the run now

And if you get to 50%

Then you know buying ice 100% clinches the win

[timid hound]

Can't

No support sync is the issue

I could swap SCSteven for Rolex SSSteven

[pseudo egret]

So do you want to sandbox it or not haha

[timid hound]

I've already done it tho

[carmine glade]

Huh

[severe bronze]

you can try it first

[timid hound]

That's true

Ok let's defeat the big robot

[carmine glade]

Then what’s the problem

[timid hound]

I get smacked by Regi max move that's the problem

[gentle maple]

Now u know

[timid hound]

Not enough damage

[severe bronze]

palmer is time bomb

[timid hound]

I'd rather downgrade to Hard rather than spend 100 on a boost and still get smacked anyways

[carmine glade]

Unlike the other ones

What’s hard

[timid hound]

What deoxys form should I use?

[timid hound]

Lucy lmao

Easy asf

Should I go for speed forme

Or do I trust in attack forme not getting blown up

[severe bronze]

yes

[timid hound]

Ok

[severe bronze]

spd form

[timid hound]

Who's tanking?

[carmine glade]

It doesn’t matter anyway

[timid hound]

SSTRed?

[pseudo egret]

I mean if your main damage source comes from NC Red, go speed forme to sync accel

[severe bronze]

deoxys

[carmine glade]

It gains speed

[timid hound]

Real

Okay

[carmine glade]

Because of the passive

[pseudo egret]

and hopefully that one earlier turn of double damage

saves your run

[severe bronze]

hes useless after his accel and support sync

[carmine glade]

Lucy is just helping you

[timid hound]

Okay let's try this

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

Impossiburu

Maybe if NCHop was 3/5 it'd be a different story

[severe bronze]

is this running red kekwalk

[timid hound]

Is it

Lemme check my grid

[severe bronze]

red sync shouldnt be this weak having chop to help def and speed debuff

[timid hound]

Oh I'm not running kekwalk

Inting

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

I'm not even running my nuke build in general

Inting x2

[pseudo egret]

[timid hound]

Should I grid max conduc tho

[severe bronze]

no

kekwalk shocking slowdown static shock haymaker

[timid hound]

Ok

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

What are my sstred moves

TM and then et?

[muted sparrow]

I still dont know how i beat Palmer with this team . I only bought more dmg on speed lower enemy

[timid hound]

That's the thing, I have no dmg amp

I only have 1 champ boost

And the only amp in shop is ice moves

Joever

[severe bronze]

max moves quad into tm > steven sync > etterain > bvolt tackle > sync

[muted sparrow]

Apple cup for fun or Hard for more points

[timid hound]

Ok

[muted sparrow]

[timid hound]

Likely hard but if I can bring palmer to half with 1 boost then theoretically 2 boosts would kill

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

Hold on

Sync is at 9

-2 faster

-1 Steven status

-2 fervor

-3 Max Countdown

So 1 move remaining?

Did I count that correctly?

[severe bronze]

-1 should be from chop

[timid hound]

Ah yes

Perf

[severe bronze]

chop is -2, red -4, idk how many steven does

[timid hound]

-2 faster -2 fervor

[severe bronze]

does tm counts as fervor

oh faster is -3 if you count the move itself

ok youre good

[severe bronze]

edited

[timid hound]

Lmao getting first sync before Regi even moves

Like 60%

[severe bronze]

what happened

[timid hound]

Not enough

Lmao

[severe bronze]

how many red sync

[timid hound]

Okay time to play with Lucy instead

[severe bronze]

two?

[timid hound]

Hm

Only one but

Maybe if I LS Adrenaline 1 onto Steven

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

I'll take a crack at this later

Brainrot

My fingers hurt

Have to quad queue like crazy too

Every turn counts

BR is just LG practice

[severe bronze]

i think if you can fire off 2 sync from red buying another champ boost still nets you better than doing hard right?

[timid hound]

Absolutely

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

But if I buy a boost and then fail to clear then I'll be worse off

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

Damn all this for like 300 points

[twilit chasm]

Does it apply to rebuff

[timid hound]

Idts

Rebuff is a status effect no?

Or uh status change

[severe bronze]

no

rebuff is status change

[twilit chasm]

Smh it seems a not so bad boost but also kinda niche

[timid hound]

Depends on your roster ofc

[pseudo egret]

eh, if you have stuff like redchu or geeta

then this becomes really powerful

[timid hound]

If you can reliably inflict status condition free damage

[pseudo egret]

and in general stat conds are easy to inflict since so many free supports/techs/strikes have some form of thunder wave or poison

[twilit chasm]

My roster is fine. But it still relies on a10 to build a comp

[leaden wraith]

I don't think it's a worthwhile boost, unless you use SST Red or Geeta every round

[twilit chasm]

But yea i planned to use geeta at a8 and higher so it may be worthy

[pseudo egret]

personally it's more of a...ehhhhh, if nothing else shows up it's better than something like eva 100 up or confusion 100 up

[twilit chasm]

That would be sold more frequently to me. My shop sucks most of the time lol

[simple frost]

oh jeez i have that seed too D:

[pseudo egret]

and trust me not much feels worse than

skipping on a mid boost

and not finding a good boost

till a9 comes knocking around

and you have to settle for whatever bad boost is there

since once a10 hits it's a bit too late

[twilit chasm]

Im at a5 alr and that’s a decent boost i got. Lower stages gimme freeze/restrain/sleep/trap boost, which is even more niche 😭

[timid hound]

Maybe if I switch Chop LS to SP3?

Could make it

[severe bronze]

thats 2 red sync

2 red sync and another champ boost should do it

oh wait thats two red sync

what gears are you using

[timid hound]

That's 2 red sync yes

Not skill gear

True!

Should I switch out Shocking Slowdown

Chop has mid debuffed

But idk about sides

Sides can still murder me

This might be an exercise in futility

[simple frost]

Current Upgrades?

[timid hound]

1 Champ 1 Johto

[simple frost]

Not 1 Johto. Yeah not happenin

[timid hound]

Johto was my free upgrade kek

[simple frost]

what's the role bonus?

[severe bronze]

idt you need to

[timid hound]

Field tech

[simple frost]

tech/sup?

Oh SST Red hmm

NC Hop is 3/5?

[timid hound]

No

And no way I'm candying him just for this

[simple frost]

yeah not enough DPS/Sync Damaage

[timid hound]

Yeah

[simple frost]

you'll want at least +3

+300%

for stats

[severe bronze]

if skill gear can get 40-45% maybe you can do it

[timid hound]

[severe bronze]

with 2x champ boost

[timid hound]

Okay lemme play with gears

[simple frost]

what's your shop looking like?

[severe bronze]

make sure its red getting the attack not chop

[timid hound]

Awful

[severe bronze]

chop is just there to boost red

[timid hound]

Quick Cookies

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

Yeah

[simple frost]

Forgot what the cookies and sundae does

[timid hound]

Parfait: +6 all stats

[hasty marlin]

wait

[timid hound]

Cookies: makes your gauge faster

[hasty marlin]

whend they add the %s

[timid hound]

What

[severe bronze]

since the last update

[timid hound]

Recently

[severe bronze]

[timid hound]

Enable it in settings

[hasty marlin]

thank
i mustve missed the changelog

[timid hound]

All good

Lemme play with skill gears ya

Theoretically if I can bring palmer to 50% then a 2nd champ boost should kill him

And then get murdered by sides anyways

[pseudo egret]

do sides hit that hard?

[severe bronze]

was the second sync after he syncs or before

[timid hound]

Idk but they hit

[timid hound]

Before

[severe bronze]

ok if you can kill palmer before he syncs youre good

[timid hound]

Ok

[pseudo egret]

I mean you can even do skill theme boosts lol

[severe bronze]

because they will use st moves

[pseudo egret]

squeeze all stats

[timid hound]

Oh they don't have spread moves?

[severe bronze]

so itll kill your team but slowly

if you kill palmer post sync the sides will spam aoe

[timid hound]

And if before?

[severe bronze]

rockslide and blizzard

before is giga impact hyperbeam

iirc

[timid hound]

They're not perfect accuracy right

[severe bronze]

they are

piercing gaze

[timid hound]

Ok well sssteven is only tanking one

[severe bronze]

but you should be able to take down the sides

i think

[timid hound]

Palmer is evil

Who made this sht

Don't let them touch another UB

Ok I got my skill gears for red altho I doubt +10 ATK will make a difference

[simple frost]

Dont think you can clear in time

with just +2 Upgrades

[timid hound]

[simple frost]

how much damage can you get before he Max Moves?

with SST Red?

[timid hound]

Probably a bit below 50%

(1 champ upgrade)

He murders hop tho

[simple frost]

any other TECH Nuker you've got?

[timid hound]

Uh

[severe bronze]

red is his best bet

[simple frost]

Like iunno, NC Serena?

[timid hound]

Tons lol

Yes I have ncserena

[severe bronze]

other nukers usually requires external help

cerena needs rain

[simple frost]

Try using NC Serena to let you -3 Sync Countdown or something with her B Move

that way

you can nuke with SST Red at least 3 times?

[timid hound]

I might be able to cinch it out with Chop + Super Powered 3

[simple frost]

(And also drop stats on your Palmer)

[timid hound]

Chop drops stats too

Def + spd

[simple frost]

CHop would work if he has 3/5

[timid hound]

Real

[simple frost]

actually

[timid hound]

Lemme try SP3 anyways first

[severe bronze]

i think youre underestimating reds nuke

[leaden wraith]

Cerena is not as good as SST Red here

[simple frost]

Cerena's just there to drop stats + -sync countdown tbh

[sudden hull]

is this palmer

i saw chop being mentioned

[simple frost]

makes SST Red nuke 3 times before he max moves

[sudden hull]

and if thats the case sst red nuke is pretty atrocious to set up

cuz ancient power gets him +3 speed

[leaden wraith]

CHop debuffs quickly tho

[severe bronze]

yeah but who shes replacing

[sudden hull]

he does speed?

[severe bronze]

chop does debuff for red sync

[timid hound]

Yes

[leaden wraith]

Yes

[severe bronze]

ssteven accel and support sync

[sudden hull]

the more you know

[leaden wraith]

Red is much better than Cerena dmg wise

How close are you to the win with Hop?

[simple frost]

50%

below that rather, yeah

[timid hound]

Wait why couldn't I quad queue on the 2nd sync

[severe bronze]

everyone contributes enough accels and debuff, if paris had like crit multiplier boost this would be an easy clear

[timid hound]

Side immediately moved

I was able to do it on a previous run

If I don't qq I lose 2nd sync

[sudden hull]

where does he have speed drops btw cuz the bot is being stupid and not letting me see

[severe bronze]

zone running out?

[timid hound]

Zone isn't the issue

[severe bronze]

buddy move

[timid hound]

Left immediately moved

Meaning I can't qq

Is this rng or some turn manip sht

[severe bronze]

need to see video

[timid hound]

Reeee

[leaden wraith]

I think this issue is mentioned in #916852044692856834 sometime ago

[sudden hull]

its a known thing where barry just randomly queues for no reason

[timid hound]

This brat

[severe bronze]

the quad failed usually involves zone running out issue no?

[sudden hull]

or at least not a consistent reason

[sudden hull]

no

its not because of zone running out

like he will queue even when he shouldnt have

[severe bronze]

#916852044692856834 message

[timid hound]

Ah yes rng

[severe bronze]

i know this one isnt rng

[timid hound]

Oh

I'm defs not refreshing zone I think

[severe bronze]

its just weird interaction between zone running out

[timid hound]

Lemme try again with that in mind

[sudden hull]

well all i can say is thats stupid

[severe bronze]

and refresh

[timid hound]

Palmer is actually hard wtf

Argenta and Anabel weren't this hard

[carmine glade]

Ok but

Argenta is like one of the easiest

[timid hound]

Then again I'm living on 1 Boost lmao

[carmine glade]

With darach

[timid hound]

I forgot darach existed ngl

Anyways

Round 19

Let's try to get below 50%

[simple frost]

gl~

[timid hound]

It's not barry

It's camper

He uses atk all

Thatbsteals QQ off of me

I was able to QQ before tho

[severe bronze]

did you use any zone or dire hit

for first chop rotation

[simple frost]

You can probably queue up 4 moves before Palmer uses a first move first.

immediately max move with SST Red -> SS Steven change form -> CHOp's Dire Hit All rather -> Immediately get SST Red's TM

[timid hound]

I use zone

Let me show you my rotation

[severe bronze]

maybe it is zone weird interaction

try dire hit and see if it still fails wuad

[timid hound]

Ok

I get 1st sync before regi moves with QQ

Then 2nd sync red sync after palmer uses you've come this far

And then 3rd sync red sync before palmer syncs presumably killing him

[severe bronze]

mhm

[severe bronze]

did it still ruins quad

[timid hound]

I got QQ

But lemme do a bit of testing

It's either Chop not using zone 1st move or Steven using attack

[simple frost]

hum could probably do it with 1 more boost.

[timid hound]

Okay

If you don't queue chops first move as zone, left doesn't immediately queue X Attack All

Idk what's up with that but that's the finding

[severe bronze]

yeah its zone weird interaction afterall

it always happen when you queue zone near sync

well not always

but sometimes when it does it does

[timid hound]

I'm scared if I get boost I'll kill palmer and then sides will kill me

There is no room for error

Every action counts

It's fragile enough as is

[severe bronze]

well what the plan

[timid hound]

[severe bronze]

i think with extra boost you can get them to 50% from red alone

[timid hound]

Good point

Okay fk it let's go

[severe bronze]

i think chop damage will be more relevant than red assuming he has his zone

[timid hound]

Nothing ventured nothing gained

[severe bronze]

so id rather kill the rat first

[timid hound]

Ok

I'll change tactics

Ok I got champ upgrade

There's no turning back now

[severe bronze]

[ebon valve]

crap I erased the pinned role breakdown

anyone have a link to that image that shows all the paths it was in japanese

[kindred seal]

How am I supposed to do the Rei battle in Rally? I'm at area 5 with 3 type boosts already.

[polar fable]

Where is this stage from again?

[sudden hull]

2.5 anniversary

weaknesses make it very obvious

also clear advantage 4 on mid

[polar fable]

Oh yeah

Makes sense

[timid hound]

I think it's joever

27% after red 2nd sync

I didn't get to qq for some reason

[severe bronze]

not enough damage to finish it off

?

[timid hound]

Palmer immediately queued sync

But I doubt a red b move + chop b move can deal 27%

Hm

Can it?

[severe bronze]

maybe it can with zone

[timid hound]

Zone is up
