I would grid for rock slide since the stage is rock weak

What does tough skin do again?
karmic wraith
damage reduction from not super effective hits
oak jolt
Maybe it only shows passives that we can have
karmic wraith
yeah
tough skin is a little too broken to be on a playable unit
its specifically for hard content
prisma gyro
Sprint field NC Kantrio stage with tough skin 5 
oak jolt
Maybe tough skin 1 or 2 shouldn't be too broken

dang it i ran out of options for palmer
nothing works
might just have to apple cup it
villain theme sucks
8900
tame forge
If you have to apple cup you'd probably net more points by doing the mid difficulty option
But apple cup is fun so it's whatever
tame forge
Doesn't matter, hard is significantly easier to beat even if it's palmer
I think one time his sync and max move didn't even kill me, but I could be misremembering
prisma gyro
Mmm mpizza ash with unlimited b thunderbolt certainly is a thing
Gotta figure out how to beat VH Palmer with these guys
tame forge
Would probably ditch morty for something that increases your dps like steven
prisma gyro
Morty is there for the double role bonus
Although if i can't beat palmer then i won't get any bonus 
Also ss steven is half dead
Not a lot of massive dps with these role bonus
tame forge
Oh I didn't see his hp.
With blue and red debuffing, steven's sync would hit really hard
Plus blue will help tanking tremendously
If any boosted comp can do it it's them imo, serena a little slow for palmer
normal python
Plus blue will help tanking tremendously
Piercing Blows + Clutch Critical 
tame forge
Piercing Blows + Clutch Critical <:PalmerPathetic:998042628606132294>
Can hold their own before the sync and max move combo I imagine

Is it safe to assume NC Leaf’s stage is going to be unenjoyable if I can’t get rid of sun?
tawny dagger
That was a tad frustrating lol
tawny dagger
Ok I beat her. Love how the units I had left that could do this stage were basically the worst possible units for it lol
potent jasper
Guys what is ghe gimmick for piers?
He has wise entry but i find my sp attackers deal. More damge than my physical one
And i am stuck with a 3rd poison useless unit for the theme
He is fairy weak
His problem is cross poison
lost cliff
That's the NY dawn and lisia battle, mid has wise entry and sides have sentry
tawny dagger
I’ve got sprint+support for my last stage. My only sprint left is SSAC (which thankfully meets my requirement for a champion, too). Are there many support with reasonable enough damage or sustainability to take on Hard Darach or should I just take the point hit and bring a standard damage dealer in my third slot
I could conceivably cake SS Gladion or NC Silver but I tend to avoid using them in normal content because they’re a little bit too strong so it would only be helpful for Rally
hybrid abyss
On R2, and got offered an Electric Upgrade. Debating on whether I should save SSTRed for A10 for this or not, as idk what UB I’ll get. What should I do? (Probably replace Zerena right?)
Also pretty sure I can’t swap the other two for A10 considering versatility and prize boost.
hybrid abyss
I could conceivably cake SS Gladion or NC Silver but I tend to avoid using them ...
I urge you to cake NCSilv. Getting a weather setter for both strike and sprint roles is huge.
tawny dagger
Fair enough argument. I’ll probably candy too so he’s at full potential
misty pawn
The one time Eevee can fully shine as the main teammate! 
And no, I'm not evolving her. I like her the way she is. She is my special and is the only Eeveelution I have that is a female.
prisma gyro
Would leon in the sun hit harder than sst red in electric terrain with elec rebuff? It's a damage race vs Palmer
leaden wraith
it's SST Red, no contest
prisma gyro
Really? In the damage list Leon's inferno does 1.1M while sst red's b volt tackle does 0.6M
leaden wraith
the dmg list didn't take account of rebuffs
prisma gyro
Does it account for wtz? 1.1 > .6×1.5 still
misty pawn
Do you use him with Galar units?
tawny dagger
I don’t have a particularly synergistic Galar roster
I got him on release
(His release)
misty pawn
Nice. Well, what Galar units do you have at the moment?
leaden wraith
Does it account for wtz? 1.1 > .6×1.5 still
you should count SST Red's master passives with NC Blue too
tawny dagger
I guess Gordie would be an alright partner for Sun and Fire Rebuff
prisma gyro
you should count SST Red's master passives with NC Blue too
They're both kanto flag bearer tho
tawny dagger
I’d just have to find a good buffer in the third slot or the squad would be way too slow to set up
misty pawn
Try Sonia & Yamper. She has Dashing Team 9.
tawny dagger
I mean how am I reasonably getting Leon to +6 SpAtk that’s the big thing there lol
He can set himself up yes but that’s slow as heck
misty pawn
Oh, I haven't really thought of that.
tawny dagger
Idk maybe I’ll play with him some I’ve just thought he feels weak compared to most fair units (Poke and master)
leaden wraith
he is the first MF, so he doesn't age well
leaden wraith
it just improves his survivability
prisma gyro
Getting there
leaden wraith
what is your bonus?
you will get better results with a dmg dealer instead of Morty
prisma gyro
Morty is there for johto boost and double role bonus (support field)
prisma gyro
Maybe I can squeeze a bit more out of red's special max move with Blue's smun
leaden wraith
SMUN don't affect sync nor max move
prisma gyro
you can consider purchasing another Johto
Yeah that will be the later resort
prisma gyro
SMUN don't affect sync nor max move
Oh dang
Oh right it worked for ash's b move, not max move
leaden wraith
B Move is still a pokemon attack, thus gets boosted
prisma gyro
Red's field ex role applies elec terrain just before sync right? I don't need to set it beforehand to maximise damage?
leaden wraith

hexed patioBOT
Each Sync Move adds a Sync Buff (
) to your Team, one is a 50% Damage Boost for the Team. When EXing a Sync Pair, you unlock a role specific Powerboost:
- Striker EX: Their Sync Move now hits all targets and has no AoE damage penalty.
- Tech EX: Their Sync Move Base Power gets boosted by 1.5x.
- Support EX: Their first Sync Move gives your Team an additional buff (100% damage increase in total).
- Field EX: Their first Sync Move applies a field before the sync executes, and extends its duration.
- Sprint EX: Their first Sync Move reduces the sync countdown by 3 after the sync is executed.

Sweet triple x2 on lucky area
oak jolt
Considering that a perfect run without lucky stage is 12k
Getting a lucky stage with triple boost is free 1200 extra points
My last run was 10450, without lucky stage, if I would have gotten LS on a triple boost stage I would have scored 11650

My best run so far was 10k points without lucky area

I got lucky stage only once so far, and it was also a no double role one

sour flax
How do you get 10k consistently without lucky area?
hybrid abyss
Standard unit management be like:
stiff flume
How do you get 10k consistently without lucky area?
By knowing you don't need 10k 
The past month I recorded 9k avrg with 15 caked units

oak jolt
How do you get 10k consistently without lucky area?
If you get enough Rolex units and a seed that let you use them you can definitely get 10k without lucky stages
But you have to exchange those cake vouchers and daily tickets to get more Rolex
ebon sorrel

Must be nice having 10k+ points every week
It's hard to get 10k constantly, sometimes the seed is just bad and you can't fit your Rolex, sometimes A10 is too hard for the roles/boosts you have and you either have to do lover difficulty, buy more boosts or remove a fitting unit

the enemies have very high atk
what team are you using?
A Lillie, SS Piers and who
it's strike tech right
leaden wraith
probably non crit and no increased spatk
leaden wraith
he demands a lot of setup, i recommend using another pair to nuke while N focuses on sleep chaining
kindred seal
I thought this would work better with a dedicated sleeper
leaden wraith
you can replace Lisia with a self sufficient nuker (ontype doesnt matter), and let the other 2 do sleep chaining
kindred seal
N was supposed to play that role...
leaden wraith
he is too slow to setup
he has to buff offensive stats by himself, which already takes several turns, and his innate is spdef debuff, which costs 6 turns at best case scenario
kindred seal
The upside being he can do actual damage in between syncs. But his sync is supremely weak compared to his normal attacks anyway
leaden wraith
because you didn't fulfill the requirements
better bring a nuker to save time
N is not good at multitasking
kindred seal
I'm trying with three sleepers but sleep chaining is hard when the turn order gets unpredictable
kindred seal
Oh I still have SST Red and I can use him for the next 3 stages too
Barely won clutch
leaden wraith
using a sleeper on terrain is counterproductive but at least you won 
kindred seal
Nah, sleep strategy went out the window as soon as I had to rely on SST Red. Lodge N was still the best attacker. Made better with Ramming Speed apparently
Amazing how sooo much easier the following stages were. That battle was way too imbalanced

Otherwise, consider dropping to Hard, cuz I can’t envision any of your available boosts changing much… 
lost cliff
Atp, run Ingo. Worst case scenario, you could fish for infinite MPRs instead of ...
She sets sun and boosts leon's damage
And yeah tbh i think i'll just drop to anabel
Ss kris moment
hybrid abyss
Don’t matter if you’re trying to tank rain boosted moves without any upgrades.
I highly doubt even NCBlue can do that
lost cliff
Argenta only sets rain twice
She doesnt set it on sync like anabel
With the ice cream lyra is syncing turn 2
hybrid abyss
Holdup… by that logic, can’t you just run Silver instead…?
lost cliff
Silver died too quickly, he's weak to water
hybrid abyss
Both Maxie and Archie should work too
lost cliff
…shit. Forgot about maxie
hybrid abyss
VLucas, NCLeaf cake, uhh
hybrid abyss
Ok what the fuck that’s higher than my high score
hybrid abyss
Prob some gimmick you aren’t accounting for
craggy helm
Maybe, it just says focus on sp atk and using sp def atk down so I'm trying SS brendan
hybrid abyss
Pins exist…

Are you using your boosted theme?
craggy helm
Whelp this is the farthest I’ve made it
twilit chasm
It’s kanto. Tho i dont think blaine is that helpful
hybrid abyss
Oh geez why is this stage so evil…? SE2 & WE2
twilit chasm
You dont even maximize debuff so ghetsis nuke can be not at highest potential
hybrid abyss
He can get rid of sandstorm and trap so 🤷♂️
Any other Kanto weather setter?
twilit chasm
Ss Erika cough
hybrid abyss
Also consider using a physical tank
twilit chasm
They have grusha which should be better than brendan
tawny dagger
Yeah why not Grusha for ice zone?
craggy helm
They have grusha which should be better than brendan
I cannot get ghetsis to max sp atk with grusha
twilit chasm
Anw ghetsis needs -6 atk -6 spa for his nuke
hybrid abyss
AND -6 spe
twilit chasm
I thought ghetsis can +6 spa himself?
hybrid abyss
You might also want to try kanto support + better weather setter…? Drpends on your roster.
leaden wraith
Grusha can debuff both atk with his B Move, so Ghetsis spends less turns debuffing
hybrid abyss
I thought ghetsis can +6 spa himself?
TM MPR, and his grid is already too cluttered.
muted sparrow
Anw ghetsis needs -6 atk -6 spa for his nuke
He doesn’t need -6 SpA for his nuke
leaden wraith
iirc the stage also asks for status change?
hybrid abyss
It does? 
muted sparrow
His nuke requires Speed debuff and Atk debuff
hybrid abyss
If it does, I don’t see it.
craggy helm
I appreciate multiple people trying to help! but several people are saying things and I'm just overwhelmed 😵💫so if one person could help instead of several thatd be nice
tawny dagger
If you have the Ghesis Power Boost then ramp up and 1 MP refresh is enough to max Sp Atk witn Mwahaha
muted sparrow
Can you utilize sleep ?
leaden wraith
Can someone post the list of gimmicks of that stage here? I can't get access to pastebin on my phone
Knowing the passives will help a lot
craggy helm
Can you utilize sleep ?
I am NEVER touching sleep chaining
tawny dagger
Grusha can set ice zone and help with the stat debuffs using B move
muted sparrow
Sleep-Flinch always a great way to cheese those BC
hybrid abyss
It’s just sandstorm and both entries x2; SE2 on mid, and WE2 on sides.
twilit chasm
It’s not that bad. And you should, if you want to complete rally weekly with the lack of roster
leaden wraith
Then Ghetsis, Grusha and SS Erika/Blaine should be enough
hybrid abyss
inb4 orb shortage issue

Ghetsis should already be gridded if they’re using him

Not a comment for this channel

They gridded him without multipliers

They gridded him without multipliers <:VolknerDed:637919473931649024>
That...was an old grid for like an EBE or something
I changed the grid
muted sparrow
That not even a good grid any EBE
tawny dagger
If you have the power boost he’s self sufficient and you don’t have to worry about boosting
Besides the point for this y’all who cares what the grid was if it’s fixed

idk. hellokitty did say Ducy is a relatively new player

I am not....I've been playing for like 2 years
Idk where hellokitty said I was a new player but alright....
muted sparrow
Ghetsis is self sufficient, he can fully buff him self with 1 Tm mpr
But you may want to avoid for Tm mpr
Bc 4 SpA should be enough
leaden wraith
idk. hellokitty did say Ducy is a relatively new player <:LanceShrug:65951654330...

Should I try champ leaf instead of Blaine?
muted sparrow
What is your Area 10 role ?
craggy helm
Maybe not just remembered she sets sun on B move and not immediately like blaine can
Support/field is area 10
My area for this week
leaden wraith
Yeah she handles sides pretty well
craggy helm
I could try that, I just remembered about champ leaf and thought I'd suggest her in case she was better then SS erika
leaden wraith
And NC Leaf is more useful on last 2 battles
craggy helm
Ughhh I'm so close to just moving to the hard stage....
tawny dagger
Hang in there I believe you can do it. If it’s still not going well ask yourself if you can maybe do things in a different order to make things smoother
molten ice
Rock type on team starting bonus, bought it twice, one of them discounted, bought a super effecive bonus and VH stage was support/field fire weak Thorton again so SSMorty very good.

Surprised roxanne's still alive. Noice

This is the farthest I’ve gotten I think I might just move to hard tbh

Carry on or go to hard?
Oh yrah
My best remaining gym leaders
And I have a water boost too
Cuz I'm saving my very best supports

what's your A10 fight?
oblique breach
Not there yet
simple frost
i mean your role bonuses for A09 and A010
oblique breach

10: supper and tech
hexed crane
What's the fairy roster look like?
oblique breach
weakish
hexed crane
Are you trying to save grusha?
simple frost
I think Grusha would be greaat here tbh.
hexed crane
Why not use bede and wally together?
Use grusha to tank and sync with wally
then max bomb with bede
oblique breach
but my item effects
simple frost
itemm efects?
oblique breach
Can be easily remedied with the presence of Grusha
hexed crane
What are they I can't tell
simple frost
Grussha iss a Gym Leaader
simple frost
if you want a fool proof plan, zone change + debuff their ATK.
hexed crane
use grusha
he covers everything
you even role exd him so you get a boost to points
oblique breach
Forgot about him
oblique breach
Now I just wanna clear as quickly as I can
hexed crane
I think the foolproof clear is SS Wally Bede Grusha
leaden wraith
I would save Grusha for A10 if you want to maximize your points
hexed crane
that leaves morty for area 10
leaden wraith
Okay then, go with Grusha
Wally Bede duo is so good that they can afford a cheap tank like Viola
leaden wraith
I don't either
oblique breach
yes
simple frost
and MAYBE debuff atk
oblique breach
SS Wally IS the gimmick
And I just got him in a YOLO
Maybe I have a new pull strat
hexed crane
If you want the minimum requirement tank either brock or viola should work
hexed crane
cleared it?

yes

what poppy
hexed crane
I might truthfully just take the point dip and run colress + steven
hexed crane
gl with your clears man I gtg
oblique breach
With Hop as support obviously
oblique breach
gl with your clears man I gtg
thank you
hexed crane
still have the option for a support with those two
other option is raihan which is a gym leader
just need a decent sprint or strike ex role support
oblique breach
I'm willing to make adjustments
What's better?
Steven with Jasmine or Raihan with Hop
oblique breach
3
simple frost
oh 3/5 for both
oblique breach
3/5 for both Raihan and Steven
and SC Jasmine
5/5 Jasmine
You'll assume all the aforementioned are EX'd, in which case they are
simple frost
post your supports, exrs too if you have them.
simple frost
hrm, i think you can use SS Morty here, considering your VH A010 is Anabel.
simple frost
NC Blue EXR would be perfect here too, since he can ATK Debuff, tank and paralyze + a strike or sprint gym leader
oblique breach
WOULD being the key word
simple frost
yeah if you let her keep stacking them ATK buffs, her nuke becomes really really strong.
oblique breach
And I don't have NC Blue
Alas, the day may come where the game ends and I lack him
simple frost
its fine, letsee the rest of your supports + gym leaders
oblique breach
supports AND gym leaders together?
simple frost
if you've got Strikes + Sprints that can status condition and ATK debuf, that would be ideal too.
oblique breach
I give up
Off to the hard I go
How many points should this net me? Assume I start with 200
simple frost
600 points. you can change SSMorty to a Strike or Sprint for 700 points.
oblique breach
hmmm
simple frost
get as much value out of role bonuses tbh.
oblique breach
alright
simple frost
if you truly want to destroy the stage though, put a Gym Leader in there.
that's of the strike role
simple frost
what about Techs?
oblique breach
The second image is showing a gym leader
oblique breach
here u go
simple frost
hmm since you already have a gym leader + waater, what about the rest of your Tech Sync Pairs?
simple frost
NC Leaf
Time to use NC Leaf + Nessa + SS Kris.
time your NC Leaf's BMove after enemy sync.
aand then rain dance immediaately.
oblique breach
Didn't I just fight Anabel just last week?
Nope, last week was Palmer
I think it was about a few weeks ago but nevertheless
mild notch
simple frost
with another high of mine
Nice clear o/

Palmer requires a boost with ash
Spam his bmove? O.o

how good is Villain Boost?
hexed crane
You should be fine for the lower areas. I’d roll with it until you get a bonus you like more
austere cipher

I buy that like every time it ends in strike or support cuz I almost always use NC blue
half bone
curent layout, how does it look?
Also, just got Rival available in teh shop.
better option than Villain boost?
copper nexus
that is the dream layout wth
Minus the final area that is like so good and better than the alternative 8 stages of field
half bone
Mind eaborating there?
also, question, would it be possible to set something up with NC Red handling much of this?
copper nexus
having 8 tech stages meaning you dont have to spread your units less thin>8 field stages where you likely dont have a lot to be using them wherever

Ah.
rival over villain though?
I mean, for boost skills
Assuming yes, since... well, just compare.
half bone
Hello?
simple frost
are any off your villains or rivals exr'd?
simple frost
Then display your techs for both
copper nexus
Assuming yes, since... well, just compare.
probably rival as there are stronger units from that category
simple frost
If they're not EXR'd, they dont count tbh.
half bone
I know.
Just bringing up, just in case.
also, derp, didn't get the EXR villain one.
simple frost
yeah rival's better
half bone
Yeah, thought so.
copper nexus
There should be a feature on pomatools to select exr on a unit

Even without the tech pairs in mind, they can go into other roles too

Ncred technically can but you’d still wanna swap teams if you have full 2x
simple frost
Some techs can tank a bit o.o
If you've got supports with tech exr, that can also work.
half bone
would still have to eventually swap out at Area 7.
And I've got one, NC Calem.
what tech units work for tanking?

NC Blue, SST Red and a rival who can change weather
Is that 3/5 Maxie? He can work too, just save his sync until 50% threshold
wary kayak
I really should've thought of this sooner.
We can filter our roster by EX Role Locked, and then screencap it and draw colored markers on each icon to signify which cake/role they get. That'll make it easier to remember my options for cakes next rally.

I don't doubt that there was hype, since he's so useful and Field makes him even more amazing at what he does. I just wasn't here to see it
