Battle Rally

[gentle maple]

No items

[sudden hull]

just because you can doesnt mean you should

and its only like 300-400 loss

[gentle maple]

to each their own

[sudden hull]

you need far less to cap out cake vouchers

like 6k is enough

for 4 weeks

easily doable if you try to adhere to roles as much as possible

[gentle maple]

Eh if u go by that logic of 6k each week then Anabel can be easy too

Save your debuffers play smart

[sudden hull]

thats exactly what i do

i go budget as much as i can up to area 6 then i start throwing the kitchen sink

[gentle maple]

Subjective some people are unwilling to even spend points

Or at most 200

[sudden hull]

well some people are not the people in this channel most of the time

[gentle maple]

U might be surprised there are quite a few that only spend 200 or less the past few days

Either ways Anabel will slowly turn easier with time while palmer will still have that uncounterable pb max move time race

[glass patrol]

I just had a brain fart moment

I forgot argenta needed status change

And was like man my geeta sure does no damage

Fwack

[gentle maple]

Also there's severe sundae that helps with Entei for a bit

[gentle maple]

Don't forget the 50% mark too

[sudden hull]

yeah i mentioned that

but its rng

if it shows up

[gentle maple]

Another weather change and status change

[glass patrol]

Yahallo

I used adaman ncblue geeta

Unfortunately akari and geeta do not have a status change or a weather unlock y

Got a lucky area with strike tech

So I caked my cynthia

Wuewuewuewue

[oak jolt]

More than eventually drop to hard on a10

I realized is better to spend less on boosts and eventually clear A10 at hard if you don't get something good from the last shop

Maybe if you are lucky you can get ultra jelly for 100 that is equal to 3 theme boosts but without having to fit a theme

[heavy fjord]

so @hardy pecan, like Odinson said, it's significantly better for points if you just switch out your team for each fight rather than sticking to one team the whole way through

[hardy pecan]

Ah. Like I do have a good variety,but I always thought it was good to stick to one. I guess in hindsight it is better to keep one slot for switching around

[heavy fjord]

i replace my whole team each fight the majority of the time

[carmine glade]

Not switching means you’re losing points

[heavy fjord]

unless i get a specific set up that works well for a specific character to stick around for several, NC Rosa being a good example since she doesn't really need MP at all

[carmine glade]

Unless you’ve got a good seed with someone you can carry the whole run there’s no reason to keep units

Any mp free or entry units are good

[sudden hull]

oh right geeta’s really good for rally

field and self sufficient buffs

[carmine glade]

Mix red is also nutty

[sudden hull]

yea

[hasty marlin]

Speaking of those units uh, a thought just came to mind about my seed

Let’s say you can streak a unit for most of the rally but there’s two off role stages between the three 2.0 stages

Would you avoid using them offrole unless you can’t fit a full 2.0 team for said between stages?

It’s the tech support > tech sprint seed.

Specifically looking at iirc three tech field stages in it but two stages with neither

[stark dawn]

2 roles -> 0 role -> 2 roles is the same as 2 roles -> 1 role -> 1 role
so no saving like that isn't worth

the only way saving a unit during multiple rounds is worth is when the rounds in between have a matching role

[topaz geode]

Any of these good?

[hasty marlin]

Very box dependent question. Eva is prob one of the worst conditional damages though regarding stats

[topaz geode]

I cleared the last run really easily even tho it was my first time. I just bought everything. Maybe having E4 and MC buff were too OP

[hasty marlin]

I’d personally hope for better from the next shop

[stark dawn]

nah

skip

[topaz geode]

Is BR really that ez or depends on the buffs?

[stark dawn]

unless you wanna focus on normal type then you can pick an upgrade

rally is as easy as you want it to be

the more points you use the easier it gets but also the less rewards you have at the end

[hasty marlin]

Honestly depends on how generically activatable the buffs are imo

For the stat and damage ups

[topaz geode]

Ohhh I should be saving points?? I bought ALL the perma buffs

[hasty marlin]

…points are 1:1 medals

Leftover points specifically

Never do the entry buffs imo

[stark dawn]

i really need to edit my rally explanation video uh

[topaz geode]

I also bought that 500 point thingy that shows up on last area.

Maaan I wasted so many points

[hasty marlin]

…apple cup is one of the worst deals unless you legit can’t beat vh or h due to it being anabel with bad role combo

That’s one of the only times I reasonably expect cups

[topaz geode]

I didnt know that's how the points worked

[stark dawn]

i mean

[hasty marlin]

[stark dawn]

the game explains it to you

if you read

[hasty marlin]

+reading

[hexed patio]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/855438548684374045/1069103333429747752/image-2.png

[topaz geode]

I already had 7 E4 and MC buffs so there was no need to buy it

[stark dawn]

you shouldn't stack 2 kinds of upgrades, only 1

[hasty marlin]

14 buffs is overkill

[stark dawn]

and 7 is like, way too much

[hasty marlin]

[topaz geode]

No wonder everyone was getting one shot even when I was using support as dps

So I should be saving as many points as possible

[hasty marlin]

For reference I’m averaging 200 spent atm

[stark dawn]

yeah me too

[topaz geode]

ONLY 200 !?

[hasty marlin]

Like two to three buys of damage buffs and one or two buys of stat buffs

[topaz geode]

per rally or per area?

[hasty marlin]

That’s all I need

[stark dawn]

per rally

[hasty marlin]

Per rally

[topaz geode]

dayum

So what do u even buy with 200??

[stark dawn]

2 theme skill upgrades of the one you got at the start

300% stats is more than enough

[hasty marlin]

I watch out for like anystat down or crit to damage and get to 200% stats

[topaz geode]

Last stage seemed super bulky

[stark dawn]

last stage is the same as fighting an ultimate battle

[topaz geode]

only 300% worked?

[stark dawn]

some people do it without spending any points

[topaz geode]

Ultimate battle is the new thingy they added right?

[hasty marlin]

Last time I got away with no buys on stat% and using ultra jelly instead for a10

[stark dawn]

yes

[hasty marlin]

[topaz geode]

The challenge the strong thing?

[hasty marlin]

Yes

A10 is one of those

Although they’re neutered if below vh

Vh is same as real thing except 2x stats

[topaz geode]

well i guess no point in saving too many points for me

[hasty marlin]

Spend like 500-700 range

Then stop

Get like 3-4 of stat and same number of damage

And it’s a cakewalk unless anabel

[topaz geode]

There's also this bs thing where I have to change my units every stage.

WHere do I even get so many built pairs from

[hasty marlin]

You can use eggs for like first 3-4 stages

[carmine glade]

At max it’s 30 units

[hasty marlin]

I’m not even kidding

[carmine glade]

And that’s if you change every stage

[hasty marlin]

I used two eggs and wikstrom for stage one this week

[carmine glade]

That’s the same as just going for a 10 gauntlet streak

[hasty marlin]

Iron head go brrr

[topaz geode]

eggmon tierlist or something?

[stark dawn]

really not it depends on roster and roles on area 10

darach is not a cakewalk in rally

palmer same

actually only lucy is a cakewalk the others can suck very easily

[topaz geode]

What that sync move one dO?

[hasty marlin]

If you stack to basically 12x damage from those multis it’s not bad

I did argenta with sstred 1/5, anni raihan, and gordie in one of the first clears I did of the mode

[carmine glade]

I don’t even use eggmon s early

[hasty marlin]

Sync move damage up

It’s bad

[carmine glade]

Just 5* that are dole bonus

[hasty marlin]

Lmao

[stark dawn]

i mean yeah ? that's a good anabel team in rally

[hasty marlin]

1/5 red doesn’t really have a nuke. And I said argenta here not anabel

[topaz geode]

So if I got the support and field thingy, so I use 3 supports coz I don't have a field unit?

[carmine glade]

1/5 sounds gross

[stark dawn]

yes

[topaz geode]

3 support who the damage dealer? And since it's area 1 I use lvl 100 pairs??

[hasty marlin]

I’m not touching anabel reasonably without Cerena still I think

[topaz geode]

This sounds so bad out of context ngl

[hasty marlin]

…tbf I’m still exhausted from being woken up early and being out all day

[topaz geode]

You do you man, no judging

[hasty marlin]

Basically tho anabel is the most likely stage I have to even consider cup or consumables on

[topaz geode]

She that hard huh?

[hasty marlin]

Too many gimmicks to answer at once

[topaz geode]

Are the bosses random too??

[hasty marlin]

Fluid fort, weather, super high bulk

Yes

Out of the like six ubs

[topaz geode]

okay so pray to get an easy one?

Who's the easiest?

[hasty marlin]

Easiest ones easily Lucy

Just bring antitoxin and you almost win already

[topaz geode]

I got the articuno one.

[hasty marlin]

Thorton imo is like, third hardest

But not bad gimmick wise

[carmine glade]

Have fun getting a bad seed

[topaz geode]

I didnt even know if there was a gimmick coz I had like 20+ buffs

[hasty marlin]

Def debuffs and interference

[carmine glade]

[hasty marlin]

Is what Thorton asks for

He hits unreasonably hard if you don’t def debuff him

[topaz geode]

I had so many buffs on I was literally taking 8 dmg per hit

[carmine glade]

You’ll love it when you get a random stage with like sentry entry x2 or acute senses

[hasty marlin]

Tbf you said you had cup so you -6’d him on entry buddy

Of course he’s gonna be a wet noodle

[carmine glade]

Cup is just god mode

[topaz geode]

Where do I check my points? I think I only got like 1000 points

[carmine glade]

Shop I con

[topaz geode]

Ooh I got 3k. Way more than I thought.

How many do u get from each run if you are being stingy?

[hasty marlin]

You wanna aim for at least 6k

[carmine glade]

Depends

There is no concrete number

[topaz geode]

What If I use around 700 per run like Rythm said?

[hasty marlin]

For cake emptying

[carmine glade]

Because one it’s box dependent and two it’s seed dependent

[topaz geode]

I just need cakes for starters

[topaz geode]

What box?

[topaz geode]

I don't have any caked units

[carmine glade]

Units

[hasty marlin]

Start with aiming for 6k after spent amount average

[topaz geode]

Ah okay

[hasty marlin]

Full on roles without rolexs or spend caps at 7.5

Iirc

[topaz geode]

Shop resets monthly?

[carmine glade]

Lucky stages aren’t reliable factor cause they’re random

[hasty marlin]

Yes

The medal shop is monthly

You keep leftover medals tho

[topaz geode]

okay cool

[hasty marlin]

Just like with the stones

[carmine glade]

Stones are a scam

[topaz geode]

what stones?

[carmine glade]

I barely used any and all the good stuff is already gone

[hasty marlin]

For example I kept enough leftover medals to get all orbs and 7/20 vouchers before I’ve even done my weeks run

[topaz geode]

Whoa 10k sync orbs for 500!? Should I buy that?? No wonder people got the new gridenergyexpansions

[hasty marlin]

Yeah it’s worth it imo

I do orbs and vouchers

I ignore the powerups

[carmine glade]

It’s 100k

[topaz geode]

What should be the first priority?

[carmine glade]

Not 10k

So even more worth

[hasty marlin]

500/10k

5k for 100k

[hasty marlin]

As a complete newbie the orbs will help you more in the short term

[topaz geode]

Cake voucher or orbs?

[hasty marlin]

Fwiw

[carmine glade]

Voucher

Orbs are literally everywhere

[topaz geode]

Well you've seen my roster, what do you think?

[hasty marlin]

But. Voucher helps in long term

[carmine glade]

Daily area, event shops, lodge

[hasty marlin]

(I barely remember people’s rosters other than my own)

[hybrid abyss]

holdup, I think I got Oraaa's roster bookmarked

.... I don't?!?! alrighty

[topaz geode]

#1012311116778586182 message

I still havent figured out how the search works so took some time

[hybrid abyss]

Oraaaa 5 Star Roster Bookmark: #1012311116778586182 message

[topaz geode]

Why u got my roster bookmarked? 👀

[hybrid abyss]

I didn't until now

[topaz geode]

omg u really do

How did you find it so fast??

[hybrid abyss]

there's this thing in Discord called "message search"

[topaz geode]

I don't know how to specifically select from these sub channels, it just takes the whole "pm help and resources" into consideration instead of the sub channels

[hybrid abyss]

"has: image"

[topaz geode]

Ahh okay thanks

[topaz geode]

Looking at the roster what do u suggest I spend the points on?

I have these many cake coins.

And no cakes units.

[hybrid abyss]

how about none. You can't even cake anyone with those.

*that amount

[topaz geode]

okay

[hasty marlin]

You need twenty coins to cake someone, for reference

Of a single role

(Just like when candying, but cakes instead)

[glass patrol]

I’m averaging 100 rn

It’s not as quick but eh

[ebon valve]

Is the crit shield you get from the shop a perma-field effect, or only set at the start of the battle?

[leaden wraith]

If it works the same as Reflect / Light Screen one, should be permanent

I only purchased them during my first BR run so my memory might be not clear

[ebon valve]

yeah it's perma duration

thanks

[stiff flume]

This week BR, personal best score

1 Johto theme + 1 crit boost
Gambling on area3 paid off

[simple frost]

that looks weird xd

[stiff flume]

Laziest way to track BR
Screenshot pomatool, cut n rotate the pic
Done

[simple frost]

mebe you're using it on laptop?

[stiff flume]

Nop, I'm doing everything on mobile

With google sheets

[simple frost]

hum if i had to remake it for mobile, maybe.

[stark dawn]

Dont even rotate and do it vertically instead

[stoic cairn]

wanna ask for articuno

negative status change

means rebuff only?

[heavy fjord]

No, rebuff is just the best choice

[stoic cairn]

is it because it wipes other status easily?

[heavy fjord]

It clears Flinch, Trap and Confusion easily, and Restrain will wear off after enough time

[stoic cairn]

oh i see

i have field tech for the last area

i have 2x from latias and 1.5x from geeta

not sure what to put for last one for the rebuff

i have oleana but oleana cant tank

[leaden wraith]

can you show your field and tech roster?

[queen tartan]

[normal python]

[normal python]

I'd kill to have this TBH

[tame forge]

So you get to use NC Rosa or SSA Cynthia all the way through

Nice

And Paulo my boy the legend

[queen tartan]

i only have riley :<

granted, if i ever get this again i hope to have NC Silver ready for that

[normal python]

I want more sprint and field units

[tepid root]

I have galar buff, any suggestions

or else i have to switch alot?

[ebon valve]

You're encouraged to use different teams for every stage.

You can probably get away bringing the same sync pair for those 2x streaks.

[languid citrus]

Oof. I’m in a weird spot. So I’ve got 3 sprint/support pairs I can use right now on round 3 , but then I can’t use them for the round 10. Should I save one of them or use all 3

[ebon valve]

you will likely need one of them. unless you just have a diversely upgraded sprint/field roster

[sudden hull]

if its not lucky bonus just use 2

[languid citrus]

Cool, then between SSAC and NC Rosa, who should I hold onto?

[sudden hull]

i think rosa is a better overall antigimmick

[tepid root]

im trying to see if i can carry sst red for everything, but theres areas in between that screw up the bonus

[ebon valve]

Incorporated it into this. https://i.imgur.com/kcxqdJN.png

37 in a completely blank row.

[outer jasper]

Just got 2 Bruno’s in a row lol

[stark dawn]

one is kanto one is johto

[hybrid abyss]

Debating whether to candy Geeta for A1, but idk how much value her Rolex actually has. Could someone explain that to me?

[glass patrol]

shes poggies

also are you candying or rolexing

[hybrid abyss]

Rolex

Tho I could candy too

[stark dawn]

wdym by value

EX role is 150 more points

[hybrid abyss]

I meant outside BR

[stark dawn]

ah

not really interesting ngl

she already spams aoe

[glass patrol]

It’s just stats

[hybrid abyss]

ik it’s very questionable to ask that in the BR channel, but I need to prioritize unit versatility cuz I’m low on cake resources.

[glass patrol]

She becomes betterer at aoe damage

It’s not a bad thing but realistically you probably don’t unlock any new clears

[stark dawn]

ig she manages Latias LA a bit better??

[hybrid abyss]

And I thought most people who caked Geeta reside here

[glass patrol]

Unless it’s like ultimate battles

[stark dawn]

but really she doesn't really benefit from strike ex

[glass patrol]

It fits her kit very well

But it doesn’t compliment it

Translation it just enhances her already strong aoe her single target remains eh

[hybrid abyss]

ig it’s not worth as much as I be hoped

[stark dawn]

ok but caking units for rally is based

[hybrid abyss]

I’ll just rock my A1 with NCNate as sole Rolexed unit

Unless I get the 50/50 rotation of 2 strike/field stages

[glass patrol]

She’s still a strong unit

[hybrid abyss]

Do I really want to bet on that?

[glass patrol]

It’s like caking ncblue

It’s not necessary

But it’s nice

[hybrid abyss]

Shit

[glass patrol]

Kek

[hybrid abyss]

I caked NCBlue cuz of how niche support buffs are for strike units + BR shenanigans

[stark dawn]

blue benefits more from the cake than her imo

[hybrid abyss]

Might as well paste this so you get a good feel of what I got

[glass patrol]

You no cake ssac wtf

Do that

[hybrid abyss]

My two potential scenarios from A1 Role reveal:

[glass patrol]

I don’t care get ssac

Caking her actually unlocks clears

[hybrid abyss]

Okokok aa

[glass patrol]

Like if we’re going for unit improvement support sprint goes brrr

[hybrid abyss]

ig no Geeta Rolex

istg if I get the double strike/field rotation I’m gonna cry

[glass patrol]

Geeta cake gibs stats and that’s it tbh

Ssac cake makes her have 4 total acceleration not including ls

That’s pretty poggies outside of br when trying to clear non br things

[hybrid abyss]

Wish I could buy the binoculars on A1

Regarding NCNate: which TM is less valuable to lose?

[glass patrol]

Do not own

[stark dawn]

between circle and actual tm ?

his tm kinda sucks

[hybrid abyss]

Really I assumed not since his only regular move debuffs himself

[glass patrol]

Isn’t the only good part about his tm the pmun

[stark dawn]

what pmun

[glass patrol]

Oh

[stark dawn]

really his tm is pretty terrible

[glass patrol]

I kek

Geeta tm superiority

[hybrid abyss]

FUCK I GOT THE DOUBLE STRIKE/FIELD PRESET

[stark dawn]

rip

[glass patrol]

to be fair

its 150 loss

not abhorrent

[stiff flume]

Idk looks extra weird

[hasty marlin]

this is a strange situation to be in. 30 gems till my final pull on silver banner, but the only gems i can gain are this or palmer today.

yet i wanna wait till this reset for mays exr

[timid hound]

A conundrum

[kindred glacier]

asking about the strategy for Darach at stage 10
i know you need to have field if not he would buff his defence, i had master silver and lucario cynthia to put out field when silver ran out of sand storm
i am able to get it down to the last 10% but then he just starts to heal like 30k, and it's so hard to kill it then he gets to sync and ko my attackers
i end up getting more buff to finish him
what's the strategy for this stage? i always had a hard time with him

[normal python]

You need to time Silver's B Move properly as soon as Darach's Resilience wears off

[manic condor]

caked Dance Irida for this mode

[kindred glacier]

ohh so have to used well time flinch to do it, got it

[hasty marlin]

I’m finally getting back to my run and uhhh
Tech sprint steel Bertha r2 boys. My man has no tm left, and is on the edge of death. Who is the replacement.

[leaden wraith]

it's just R2, you can comfortably offtype just fine

you can bring a strong tech nuke and bring someone like Lorelei

[timid hound]

Wikstrom and the boys

[simple frost]

huh i thought i was in Battle Rally.... and R2 brings me to check i got CS rolled o.o

[stark dawn]

this is where this week's rally becomes unfun

same team 3 areas in a row

[leaden wraith]

MPR reset fest for SSA Cynthia i see

[stark dawn]

yeah

[stark dawn]

it refuses to activate

30% more like 0% wth

The illusion of free choice

[simple frost]

You've got this xD

Aura Cynthia be like "I've got the field!"

[stark dawn]

There's ultra jelly in the shop

maybe i can replace noland with sst red if this doesn't work (and let's be real, there's no way it works)

[simple frost]

Make Noland go nuts then heh

[stark dawn]

managed it with jelly without red, nice

PB

[normal python]

Damn, I'm jealous

[foggy hull]

Phew.. managed my personal best: 9,800

How do you survive with buying only 2 power ups?

[tame forge]

Damn my set is all ogre the place

[simple frost]

send a pic ;o

[tame forge]

Ground boost and started doing water instead

Deadass got no water pairs for area 3 and 7

[simple frost]

looks fine o.o

[tame forge]

Too much mix and match, doesn't allow many carryovers

[simple frost]

what about your initial upgrade?

[tame forge]

Area 10 is fine

I started with ground boost but was lucky to get water

[simple frost]

If you have any of the Sprint/Supports, you could run them in A1 to 4

[tame forge]

Might run an offrole unit on area 7

[tame forge]

Roark rampardos got hands

[simple frost]

wat

was that for the Fall 2023 BC?

[tame forge]

I think so yes, he's ground weak and the stage decor is halloween themed

[sudden hull]

its supposed to use fphoebe as the tank cuz she doesnt take stat buffs into account

but without its rough

[tame forge]

Yeahh I'm almost there, relying on a lil bit of rng

[tame forge]

Argenta's thing is that I need to rebuff, right?

Or restrain

[leaden wraith]

rebuff is the most reliable way

but she cleanse it once on 50% threshold

she can't cleanse restrain most of time, so you should be precise with reapplying it

[tame forge]

Gotcha, thanks

[normal python]

She cures status change but unlike Thorton, you can infinitely reapply status change to her

Which means you can infinitely reapply trap, confusion, etc.

[tame forge]

Sweet

I think I'll do hard though

My boost isn't great for these roles on area 10

[rapid notch]

Champion,kalos or galar boost?

[leaden wraith]

Champion, imo

There is some UB killers there

[tame forge]

Champion one of the best boosts in general since that's all NCs

If not straight up the best

[leaden wraith]

Both MC and Champion are top most useful themes

The former also has a wide diversity of unit

[normal python]

In terms of region, Kanto is the superior one

[tame forge]

True, forgot about mc

[hybrid abyss]

What's Tough Skin? It's making me do no damage 😭

[stark dawn]

damage reduction when the move isn't suepr effective

[hybrid abyss]

fuck.

I'm so screwed

strike/sprint, so I don't have access to sleep shenanigans

[tame forge]

Strike is alright if you need to hit on type

[hybrid abyss]

it's the fire/water/elec stage 💀

[stark dawn]

yeah that stage sucks

definitely in the top 3 worst stages

[hybrid abyss]

literally, how am I suppsed to win with these role bonuses?

• ground upgrade

[granite river]

Some support with sprint ex role and on type strikers

[hybrid abyss]

I'm assuming I should waste away Chase inatead of either NCROsa or NCBlue?

[granite river]

If you can make it work yh, else NC rosa is basically a free win with sleep chain

[hybrid abyss]

using a OP, Rolexed unit this early sucks

[tame forge]

Ground upgrade pretty ass

[hybrid abyss]

piece of shit paralyzed my whole team

[granite river]

Finally managed my 0 spend run

[hybrid abyss]

I OFFTYPED THAT CANCEROUS STAGE

ELECTRIC UPGRADE ON SALE

ez take?

[stark dawn]

if your ground is still lvl 1 sure

[hybrid abyss]

yeah my ground is still lvl 1

WTF IT'S ON SALE AGAIN?!?!?

do I just buy it to demolish A8 & A10 with NCBlue 2x Boost?

BABYSIT ME PLS

[glass patrol]

I mean If you have 2 boosts already ur probably good enough

[hybrid abyss]

I only got 1, which is why I'm asking

I'm assuming probably should since NCBlue boost + sale, right?

[glass patrol]

It wouldn’t be bad no

If ur a min max man you could just keep going but if ur spending is below 200 go for it

My budget is 100(ish) but there’s no need to be that strict

[hybrid abyss]

I literally just spend 50 poitns for that elec upgrade sale, and the same sale repeated again

[glass patrol]

That’s wild

[austere cipher]

Time to cake silver n geeta

Currently at

[hybrid abyss]

I really hope you used Rolexed NCSilver on A7

[austere cipher]

I was hoping to get lucky area on a8

[hybrid abyss]

bro you already know those don't exist

[austere cipher]

Right

[fluid mountain]

Weekly Battle Rally results: Got Anabel at A10 VH with strike and field bonus, and it was an instant nope, so instead beat Thorton on A10 H. One attack boost spent for A9 VH

[simple frost]

Id buy it cuz its on sale

[outer jasper]

🤑

[austere cipher]

He was about to one tap sync me, velio 1 tap confusion kek

[sudden hull]

isnt this one of those challenge the neo champ fights

[austere cipher]

Yes iirc

Rock type gaming

[simple frost]

if you ever get Rock Zone on sale; Rock Gaming Lol

[austere cipher]

Guess my a10 rei

https://tenor.com/view/anabel-pokemon-heart-my-beloved-gif-20274626

Time to clap w/silver

I take my a10 as anabel. Always.

Like I only fought
Palmer 2x
Argenta, Darach, Thorton 1x. The rest Anabel.

I got rival upg just incase

[simple frost]

whose your A10? o_o?

[austere cipher]

@simple frost

[simple frost]

Lol

Strike and Sprint?

[austere cipher]

strike field

[simple frost]

what team are your runnin?

[austere cipher]

nc blue / sst red / nc silver

[simple frost]

hmm

what about your shop?

[austere cipher]

I'll try first if I can clear w/the current buff I have

[austere cipher]

this

I think it's enough

[simple frost]

can definitely see you buying 1 buff + 1 power buff

but yeah see what your lone stat buff will get you

[austere cipher]

aight will get back

[simple frost]

That ! one is the one that gives you +100% damage boost when your opponent has a Status Condition right?

[austere cipher]

yes XD

[simple frost]

oh you've got this then lol

[austere cipher]

ye lol

it's kanto / johto moment

I was about to debut geeta welp

[simple frost]

can't be helped

you need offensive stat debuffers

[austere cipher]

ye sadge.

[simple frost]

i would've grabbed the MPizza if it wasn't Anabel i guess

[austere cipher]

gg

[oblique breach]

Who was this for?

The tea party?

[leaden wraith]

yes, it was made for SC Sonia

iirc it has Wise Entry x2

[rapid notch]

Champion over poison right

[leaden wraith]

that is an easy question and everyone knows the right answer

[rapid notch]

Man this run has got my roster crying

[simple frost]

what's your role bonus track? o.o

[rapid notch]

Would I use wallace here(currently r3)

Well there it is

[leaden wraith]

i assume he is not caked

[rapid notch]

Nope

[leaden wraith]

there is another Field Sprint stage later, have you planned someone for that?

[rapid notch]

Wait shit i didn't show my role exs wait a sec

Yeah those 2 as well

[leaden wraith]

you should save SSA Cynthia, SST Red and either Riley or Wallace for A8

[rapid notch]

Hmm

Wallace now,riley a8,ssa r9,sst r10?

[leaden wraith]

just focus on A8 first. 1/5 Cynthia doesn't have TM MPR so you are likely to retire her after A8

[oak jolt]

Just use solgaleo, or any piercing blows unit

As long as strike is one of the roles that stage should be fine

[carmine glade]

Can’t wait for a piercing blows unit to get cake

[oak jolt]

With tech is fine if you have some premium units like SS Hilbert or SS N, oak covers 2/3 types

Getting any combination of support sprint and field will be terrible

[carmine glade]

Give SS n strike you cowards

[glass patrol]

Give ssn a power boost

Buff all 2 turn moves

Give all old master fairs except for zerena a power boost

She doesn’t deserve it

[oak jolt]

I think the other Serena is more busted

[glass patrol]

That other serena isn’t old

[carmine glade]

So what you want n to get like 10 pmun

[glass patrol]

Sure

But I mean like

Make bp 450 ish?

And give him b move: team physical boost up

Or something like that

This 2 turn buff would apply to ssrc too

Not just cuz I’m coping but cuz a lot of 2 turn units deserve a boost in power

They’re all shat on for the most part

[oak jolt]

The main issue is that ice beam sucks

[carmine glade]

Fly meta real

[oak jolt]

It needs ice beam hit the gas 9

[glass patrol]

No fuck that

That’s lame

[carmine glade]

Ew

[gentle maple]

Just give him a unique LS that makes freeze shock not charge, problem solved

[glass patrol]

Bro I hate ncred for a reason

It’s so boring

2 turn moves are spicy

[carmine glade]

THANK YOU

[oak jolt]

I mean 2 turn move on renegade Cynthia works, cuz you can still use shadow ball for dps

[carmine glade]

Sure everything one turn setup unga bunga is faster but it’s so lame

And at least n also has the feature of cd-2

[glass patrol]

There’s a limit to how interesting you can make characters that functionally just spam a generic damage move

And making ssn lose that special identity for fuckin hit the gas

I use shadow force btw

[gentle maple]

Isn't his whole idea having pb tbh?

[carmine glade]

Give all 2 turn moves like physical/special boost or some sort of cd

[oak jolt]

2 turn moves aren't that bad, if your regular move option is decent

[gentle maple]

Just buff his noble roar to do something more too

[glass patrol]

You’re assuming I ever touch the regular move

I don’t

[gentle maple]

Nobody is tapping that

[glass patrol]

Not if I can help it

[glass patrol]

I actually do tap it a lot

As a post syncer it’s helpful

[carmine glade]

His Niobe roar already does quite a bit

[glass patrol]

But anyway the few units with 2 turn moves should be able to keep that identity

[gentle maple]

Doesn't change the fact it's still a really bad b move

[oak jolt]

In master mode is fine, problem is that you need someone else to get rid of the sides

[glass patrol]

Not lose it to generic ice beam unit

I should say that ncred should be more fun than other strikers but cuz he’s so damn strong there’s no reason to use anything except ice beam and you win anyway so ehhh

[carmine glade]

Free move next seun pmun and atk sp atk spd down by 2

[glass patrol]

Geeta is more fun imo cuz there’s poison zone timing strategy(though I’d love if she had extension lmfao)

[carmine glade]

How she doesn’t when SS roxie does is funny

[glass patrol]

Also yeah ssn needs his bmove to not be a dps deficit

[gentle maple]

Considering your main dps move takes 2 turns that's a really bad turn spent on b move

[glass patrol]

It’s kinda stupid that it is

Just stack some pmun on it

I proposed teamwide to give him a team niche

[gentle maple]

The b move should just drop all stats by 3, have 2 sync accel and 1 team wide pmun

Or something to be used

[glass patrol]

But just giving it +3 is helpful

[oak jolt]

But b move boosts your 2 turn move

[carmine glade]

2 turn move already has accel

[glass patrol]

The bmove doesn’t need accel

It just needs to be a damage enhancer

I don’t think he should be an omnidebuffer but you could go that route

I’d personally make him pmun happy

[gentle maple]

And it's still regarded as one of the worse b move

[glass patrol]

Maybe give +2 muns to all allies

That would be very supportive, plays into the N idea I think

[gentle maple]

Hasn't it also been calculated to be better to skip your b move entirely if u are trying to dps

[glass patrol]

Yes

However I think that’s trash

[gentle maple]

His b move needs way more utility

[glass patrol]

I like his identity as a slow but strong hitter

[oak jolt]

I mean if you are going for super effective, b move gives +50% damage with semun and also a pmun stack and free move, so by adding a turn I don't think is that a bad of a deal

[glass patrol]

So give it some muns

Yeah it’s free move which is epic

[carmine glade]

Speaking of slow but strong hitters

Hala exists

[glass patrol]

Giving it more utility isn’t useful cuz it already has it

Like you caaaaan give it defense debuffs but like

[carmine glade]

But like damn he’s weird to use because of that passive he has

[glass patrol]

He’s not ncleaf

So it’s just meh

Like force feeding him a different characters identity is not cool imo

[gentle maple]

I say add accel so your sync cycle isn't awkward

More mun too

[carmine glade]

It’s not awkward if you know how to count

[glass patrol]

It just isn’t awkward wtf y mean

He’s the one 2 turn unit that doesn’t suffer from that

Unless you miss but like

Kek

[oak jolt]

However if you have problem quad queuing, the repeatable sync acceleration is nice to have

[glass patrol]

That too

He’s convenient if anything

Like of all the 2 turn units he does not have this problem

Give that buff to ssrc

[carmine glade]

Pretty sure even palesa has something similar

[glass patrol]

I seriously have no idea what she does

But I’ll take ur word for it

[carmine glade]

Ye

[glass patrol]

Moral of the story Dena pls buff 2 turn and old masterfairs

[carmine glade]

Super countdown 9

[glass patrol]

What a goofy passive

[oak jolt]

That passive would be busted on gladion

[muted sparrow]

Hey it fixs her Fly On-Type

[oak jolt]

Pal elesa kit feels like an old gen pool unit, even regular elesa has a better kit

[austere cipher]

you hurting my elesa feelings she's a fun unit tho

[oak jolt]

Fun she's fun, but I'd prefer having funny units in the general pool and trying to make them work when I eventually get them, than having to specifically summon for them in a limited banner

[elfin tendon]

not the best week, but worth for 999,999 DMG
sadly i didn't record 😦

Yeet

[simple frost]

Legendary Attacker...? o.o

Ah

900k Damage.

[carmine glade]

Sounds like it’s time

[elfin tendon]

never bought apple cup, got 4 crit ups though

• 5x kalos boost

[gentle maple]

Definitely overkill

[rapid notch]

Who should I fight?shop,fight boosts,main carries pick(3x boost is Champion)

[leaden wraith]

i don't think beating Anabel is possible without overspending

[rapid notch]

Lol

Thorton then

For interference uhh

Ncrosa?

[leaden wraith]

she doesn't match with bonus roles

[rapid notch]

I mean

There's gotta be one support anyways

Might as well be her

[heavy fjord]

I mean does there?

I often go without when the roles don't line up

[rapid notch]

Who tanks

[heavy fjord]

Whoever i care least about

For strike / not support role combos ill often bring Spring May as a pseudo tank, for instance, but if I get like Strike Field after shes used then the tank is just whoever is contributing least to the team

[rapid notch]

My other non support tank will be dead within 2-3 hits of thorton

Not even sstred+SSGladion can do enough damage in time

[gentle maple]

Looks like NC blue, dahlia, Serena can clear it

Or silver + diantha

[leaden wraith]

except when they don't have these options

[gentle maple]

Right I just saw

[rapid notch]

Welp uh

Do i try SSGladion+sstred+ncrosa?

That's still 400 pts

[leaden wraith]

do you have Nessa or Allister?

[rapid notch]

Yeag

Allister 3/5 Nessa 1/5

But won't ncrosa's confusion count as interference

[leaden wraith]

Thorton will get Condition Nullification upon recovering from it

[gentle maple]

I'm guessing SST red, allister and ss steven should work for thorton

[rapid notch]

How-

Who the fuck is taking hits

Also SSGladion has more dps and bonus over sssteven

[stark dawn]

steven in defense form ig

[rapid notch]

Is it worth losing the bonus for?

Steven doesn't do Jack shit damage in defense form either

[gentle maple]

I mean if u can clear hard thorton with gladion sure

[rapid notch]

I'll try sstred SSGladion allister/nessa

Who's the tankiest

[sudden hull]

sst but i have doubts that it’ll work

also rip gauge

[lone rose]

Wondering if this could work

[stark dawn]

bruh

stop buying items

you have already too many

[sudden hull]

yeah what the hell?

[glass patrol]

Buy out the shop challenge fr

[stiff flume]

Check the stage tips
But you're spending waaay too much
Only the Endure + pmun/smun are 550 points
Basically you can stack one theme and have apple cup stat boost every stage
Focus on 2 or 3 upgrades, nothing more, try cointaining your spendings

[cobalt furnace]

Don’t use scam apple cup

[glass patrol]

Use it

It’s like droogs

[carmine glade]

True

[stiff flume]

🪙📉

They're gonna spend 2k that way
You can beat the stages with eggmons only

[elfin tendon]

WE GOING ON A SHOPPING SPREE WITH THIS ONE 🛒 🛒 🛒

[hasty marlin]

This the Toxtricity stage I assume?

[carmine glade]

Mayhaps

[hasty marlin]

so far my run's looking like this, after assigning exrs to furthest in 2.0x

shame theres not a support/sprint or strike/field (silver 3/5)

[sudden hull]

yes you need status

[oblique breach]

What battle was this for?

[simple frost]

Grass weak huh

I think that's for SC Rosa's Battle Challenge

[oblique breach]

Ah

Explains the accuracy down

Area 9 VH absolutely kills me

4 digit sync damage from the opponent

[glass patrol]

Wot

[leaden wraith]

You didn't bring any boosted pair, did you?

[simple frost]

any upgrades? role bonus? shop? o.o

[oblique breach]

I did

They're kinda crap

[simple frost]

what team and role bonus + upgradde?

[simple frost]

posts your techs, of the Ghost and/or Battle Facility Foe

[glass patrol]

Ditch Brendan for a boosty boi

[simple frost]

hum best you could do is

change brendan to someone else for the 200% boost

and have SS Erika nuke

[glass patrol]

I mean heck you have accerola for flinch shenanigans

[simple frost]

they'd have to play into -6 ACC iirc

[oblique breach]

Yes I would

[simple frost]

problem is

[oblique breach]

Accuracy down is pain

[simple frost]

they have Sentry Entry x2

[glass patrol]

Oh the do?

Well super effective up 3 is a lot

So enough Erika sync will do

[simple frost]

hum i guess

but yeah change Brendan to something else

[oblique breach]

like?

Leon?

[leaden wraith]

Leon's attacks never miss, so he is a good choice

[oblique breach]

OK

i give up

Damage is too much

[leaden wraith]

you are supposed to debuff their spatk too

but looks like you don't have anyone for that

[simple frost]

SS Korinna could work for stealing their SP.ATK buffs

honestly, you could roll like

Acuity on SS Erika

using skill cookie

[oblique breach]

Instant death from AOE moves

[leaden wraith]

better moving down to H

[oblique breach]

That's what I do

[oblique breach]

done

[normal python]

Those points are kinda sad NGL

[oblique breach]

But that's as far as I can go

right now

[normal python]

Yeah

Hopefully tomorrow we all have good bonus roles

[oblique breach]

With more sync pairs, I think I can crack 7000

[manic condor]

Why’d you buy the binoculars?

[eternal nebula]

What is the Barry ground-weak stage weak to?

I know it uses Palmer but I swear Palmer can't kill

[simple frost]

what's the upgrades and what area are you on?

[eternal nebula]

Area 9

X3 Unova x1 Hoenn upgrade

Maybe gotta bring Hugh

Oh right Hugh exists

[simple frost]

lol

what's the role bonus? Strike?

[eternal nebula]

Tech

He is caked

Palmer I mean

[simple frost]

dang.

difficult then

[eternal nebula]

Tech and Sprint

[simple frost]

if you let barry sync, he'll -2 Acc :x

[eternal nebula]

And I used up SS Dawn

Eh

One bonus

It works

Ok when I can I'll try harder

[simple frost]

got SS Steven?

just as a tank / flincher yeah

[eternal nebula]

@simple frost Maxie wins!

[simple frost]

Hoenn wins xD

not 1 Unovan Pair either .-.;

or Role Bonu be damned :<

[eternal nebula]

X2 Hoenn Upgrade remember

I said x1 accidentallg

It's x2

[simple frost]

a

only Courtney huh

[eternal nebula]

Maxie is Hoenn

[simple frost]

but you said your role bonus is Tech/Sprint D;

[rapid notch]

How do I utilise my field/sprint,currently r2,boost I'm gonna use is champion

[leaden wraith]

Save NC Silver for A8

For the rest just spread them out

[glass patrol]

Use your worse field sprint

[rapid notch]

A5 lucky,should I use calem and steven now to maximize pts?

[gentle maple]

Yes always all in on lucky area

[lone rose]

just to see so I can utilize my sync pairs

I didn't know there was a battle rally calculator where it optimizes the areas automatically

[rapid notch]

That is 7 very hard areas worth of points.

[manic condor]

well just be aware that you can usually tell what set of bonus roles is next from finding which predetermined set you’re on

You’re on D1 which you’d immediately know cause it’s the only set that starts off with sprint strike. The only point in using telescope/binoculars is to be able to prepare for a specific trainer or a lucky area

[carmine glade]

There is literally no reason to get scope

[rapid notch]

Is there anyway i can make this work

[carmine glade]

Why is sonia there

[rapid notch]

Mga

And spark

Mid wants status

[glass patrol]

No bonus tho

[rapid notch]

I could bring emma

It will fuck up the gauge but she might work

I dunno if she will take hits for long though

[languid scaffold]

https://youtu.be/7ckvrKY2xY8?si=Jb5CkXNjpMhN6JBw just wanted to share this and say probably best not to do this cause I learned the hard way from here about why doing this doesn't exactly work out for you points wise

[glass patrol]

This mother fucker said iono had support tech I heard that

[rapid notch]

Is this fine?

3x champion boost

[glass patrol]

I’m pretty sure that can work in a normal clear

[rapid notch]

Decent pts

[hasty marlin]

Having r3 troubles.

Even when evasion rng works ssrc can’t get it below half hp

Almost wonder if allister is good here but I’d still have problem of the sides with allister. Crossed out the two that have upcoming 2.0x stages

Forgot to cross out Lillie

Theme is 1x e4

[half bone]

to confirm, how good is Rival Boost?

I've got it for this rotation

[tame forge]

Not great not terrible

You can use nc silver on area 10 so that's a plus, if you have him

And paulo too

[half bone]

I do.

[tame forge]

Great synergy

[half bone]

I need to use sprint and field in two zones though.

[tame forge]

Not a great selection overall yeah

You can carry nc silver from area 4 to 10 and only in area 9 he'll be unboosted

[half bone]

I can show who has Sprint, Field, and Sprint EX.

[tame forge]

Sure

I was taking a look at serebii

[half bone]

I can get an EX Unlocked too

[tame forge]

I'd just carry silver from area 4, the 150 point loss from area 9 is something I'd be able to live up with, it gives you a lot of freedom to teambuild since he's pretty self sufficient and would already fulfill the rival boost

Maybe if you had nemona or ss gladion to patch a few holes

[half bone]

I have both.

No, misread

Just ss gladion.

[tame forge]

Well you can do gladion from areas 4-8 and save silver for area 10

That takes care of both sprint fields

[half bone]

So spend ex candy on him?

[tame forge]

If you don't mind, I think it's a solid investment overall, he do be hitting hard

[half bone]

Should I pump some normal candies in too? Get hom to 3/5?

I have 4-5

[tame forge]

Maybe save and use if you're in a bind, but I think he's worth it too

[half bone]

I have 4 generic candies too.

[tame forge]

Generic candies probably better for sprint/field units, even tech sometimes since there are so many tech units

[half bone]

The exact totals.

[tame forge]

Stacked

Yeah ss gladion is really nice

Silver too if he's not already 3/5

[half bone]

Any others here food options for additional move level?

Wondering on NC Red.

Or is that overkill?

[tame forge]

Probably not needed for this rally in particular, unless you're chasing certain UB clears with Irida / Glaceon

[half bone]

Can't use her in this for last stage anyway

Eh, I'll hold off for now, I can afford to.

[tame forge]

Good choice imo

Red is also worth it, if you need him in the future

[half bone]

Also helps that I have lots of picks for candy for other groups.

Like tech.

Jesus.

How's this for a sync grid for SS Glad?

I'd have to avoid using the Buddy Move a lot but...

wait, enver mind, there's a better grid for it.

If I can ask, any suggestions for getting through the first few stages without wasting too many sprint pairs or the like?

Itls against Lance, Dragon Weakness, Dragonite lead.

Drake Lead? To try and conserve sprint pairs?

[tame forge]

Seems good to me, mpr on the tm is nice when you have to face multiple stages

[tame forge]

Yeah tech is rough, doesn't help that for a long time, techs were usually the designated zone/terrain setters

[half bone]

but yeah, any good support pairs that could work as a damage dealer for hte first stage?

Don't want to use osmeone like Iono yet.

[tame forge]

You can use Bluetoise for area 1, if Rei is caked you can use him on areas 1 and 2

If he's not caked just area 1 is nice

[half bone]

Would rather save him in case of the REgigigas final boss

[tame forge]

Depends, who have you caked?

I have Zerena and SS Hilda caked now so usually when I need a support unit to carry damage I'll use either of them

[tame forge]

I haven't used riley but for Area 1 he's probably enough

And you can repeat on area 2

[half bone]

Hmm... I have 10 options.

Only one that isn't available is Silver, and I can upgrade him if needed.

Huh, I can actually use Boltchu for areas 7-9

[tame forge]

Boltchu helps a lot ye

[half bone]

Um, I think I found the Neo Champion battle for Rosa.

The battle REALLY wants a support.

And it has psychic and fighting rebuff recomendations

[glass patrol]

No it just really taste rebuff

Wants

Show team using

[half bone]

Strike tech stage.

should I spring for something like NC Blue?

He comes with type rebuff.

Alternatively, I could use Alt!Lyra?

use mud slap to spread type rebuff?

[quiet tiger]

"..."
(I'm you, but better)

[hasty marlin]

ghetsis saving me from toxtricity hell™️

[half bone]

Would this work?

[hasty marlin]

feels weird using ncblue for literally 1 stage but thats how it is this week.

[quiet tiger]

Last stage Lucy clutched a lot of extra medals

[hasty marlin]

thats the exact team i just used except im on a4 and dont have lussa dupes

ayyyyyy MC boost

i dont think i do paralyze with this map

paralyze seems like itd be hard to squeeze into the high stages aside from a9

lessee, a7 and 8 can be done by ssac for para, theoretically. but who the hell would do a10, would i really be using 2 reds and a lillie realistically on a10

[half bone]

Hey, question, what does E4 Karen (with Houndoom) bring? Is she physical or special focused?

[simple frost]

you can always check the pastebin @half bone

[hasty marlin]

Pomatools

It exists for a reason for the cs stages

If you mean the cs stage ofc

Else the pastebin like rei said

[half bone]

so... mostly physical, it looks like.

[simple frost]

drop their SP.ATK too if its a lil too hard hitting

[hasty marlin]

Wow mayziken with sprint is actually goated

[simple frost]

easiest sprint ex role for her

[hasty marlin]

Just got triple syncs before they synced once lol

[simple frost]

she's at 2/5 so

[simple frost]

i just use her at early mid rally fight

[hasty marlin]

I used her at the latest 2.0x as I always do with them

[simple frost]

Noice

[hasty marlin]

And I am VERY happy with her performance

Didn’t expect it to be such a big difference to skip another turn

Start was e4 upgrade but bought myself the mc upgrade instant I saw it

Cause that’ll make red Lillie a10 more possible

Paying 100 pts for a possible +150 later and simpler clear

Haven’t decided how much I’ll stack, waiting another round or two before I stack it much

I see lance is just loving to fight me this run, man’s prob upset I haven’t pulled any Lance alts

Got away with two stages with mayziken even without tm in second one! +2 crit is fine, we got this!

[half bone]

alright, final battle is against Anabel.

I can use SS Kris or SS Mina for water type allies forthis, any suggestions?

Or Sand team stuff, I suppose, since I have NC Silver still, but...

[hasty marlin]

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

[half bone]

which would be better, sand or rain for Anabel?

[hasty marlin]

trying to math out how i got here
