Battle Rally

[half bone]

This is what's in thr store.

Options doe other ice damage dealers (do NOT tell me to use NC Red, I'm saving him for a reason)

[leaden wraith]

how about Irida

also NC Red is perfect here

he got double bonus unless this combo repeats later

[simple frost]

it does, in A010

[half bone]

Wh- I just said i don't want to use him, finale is strike/tech.

[leaden wraith]

i didn't know about A10, mb

how about using Irida?

with more reliable flincher, Silver still works because his sync hits hard at 1/5 already

[simple frost]

https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Battle_Rally oh they've got the images for each upgrade. 😮
Nice

[half bone]

I'm not dealing much damage with him, is the thing.

[leaden wraith]

yeah his dps is not doing much, but his sync is not

but have you considered Irida?

or Ghetsis/Hala

[half bone]

I can try Hala.

[half bone]

Sync wasn't too strong. Does it want me to max his attack for it?

[leaden wraith]

you always want to max offensive stats on dmg dealers

[half bone]

I was avoiding using both since it wastes the sync move coolsown part on his buddy move.

[leaden wraith]

that's the issue

[half bone]

Plus, mgb

[leaden wraith]

no need to save them

just B Move at the start, and start using his TMs

[quaint star]

Hmm, I suppose if you already bought both the cake coins and powerups, you can wait to do rally during weekends so you can probably buy one more cake when the shop reset for this week's run

[leaden wraith]

have you bought sync orbs, with energy cap raising they are more valuable too

also you can do rally anytime, just save the points

they won't go away even when the monthly shop resets

[quaint star]

I am not too taxed to get the sync orbs

[half bone]

That's how much damage sync did at max attack.

Derp, here's this for more context.

[leaden wraith]

you know, you can just replace Steven for better options

like Serena who has aoe sleep or Acerola with more reliable flinch

[half bone]

...oh my god, that isn't my issue.

How many times do I have to say this?

My team completely dies at sync.

I need ro clear pre-sync.

[leaden wraith]

that's why i suggest a better stun to stall more turns

i did suggest you other approaches too

[obsidian sentinel]

Anyone recommending Serena is helping you pre-sync, please try to not to look a gift horse in the mouth

[half bone]

why did you suggerst Serena when I have Helena with Paralyze?

My gauge saving move is lick.

[leaden wraith]

use Lick on asleep targets then

[half bone]

When they immediately wake up and get paralyzed?

[leaden wraith]

sides have no resistance to sleep

just time your moves wisely

[oblique breach]

I'm back

[half bone]

Still. Doesn't. Work.

[leaden wraith]

How about trying different methods

Again, i recommended you changing the dmg dealer

Or replacing Helena with Agatha who is gauge friendly + having sleep + Ghost type + decent bulk

[oblique breach]

I will do hard for Areas 9 and 10

More manageable foe me

[obsidian sentinel]

Hard Area 10 is my game plan each week too

[half bone]

You know, sleep is as useless as flinch wnen they open with trainer moves and items, right?

[obsidian sentinel]

We all know how sleep works

[oblique breach]

Area 9 VH is Acerola Mimikyi foght

[obsidian sentinel]

Please share video of things not working, as this is a well known basic tactic

[leaden wraith]

Yes, and TM run out after one use. With proper timing skill opponents cant even reach the sync

[half bone]

Oh for god's sake, HALLA IS TOO FREAKING GAUGE COSTLY

[leaden wraith]

Bring gauge friendly teammates then

Tech and strike are not too restricted when it comes to gauge friendly pairs

[half bone]

Oh my god, HAla doesn't do it either.

[oblique breach]

Which of these gym leaders can best do the stage? I have Giratina and ghost horse

[leaden wraith]

We did recommend Leaf, SS Morty and E Victor hours ago

With Leaf tanking

[oblique breach]

Yes we did

But no Giratina?

[half bone]

Okay, FINALLY. Managed to clear after bringing Hala to 150 and EX.

Still no good boost to go to.

[leaden wraith]

No reason to use Giratina here

[half bone]

another ice stage, tech support now.

[oblique breach]

ok 9k

[half bone]

For God's sake, another freaking ice stage I can't get over.

[leaden wraith]

Bring a better defensive tank

You should open pomatools and see what moves and passives you have to look out for, then find the support to help the team's survivability

[half bone]

The issue here isn't simply that.

INspire Ire just causes me to die horribly fast because Phoebe is such a terrible tank.

If she didn't get immediately deleted, I'd have more of a chance.

[leaden wraith]

Just... remove it on the grid

And bring a better spdef buffer

[half bone]

...Jasmine's there for accuracy.

And defence dropping.

Both of which are really useful for Silver so his attacks don't keep missing.

[leaden wraith]

Not needed at all, the team has room for accuracy hiccup

[half bone]

...IT DOES NOT.

[obsidian sentinel]

Just do hard

No need to do very hard

[leaden wraith]

How do you know without seeing it with your own eyes

[half bone]

Because I have used Silver multiple times and his accuracy has screwed his dmaage output.

[mental raft]

Last minute BRs are hell

[half bone]

He needs accuracy buff to be consistent.

[leaden wraith]

With a strong defensive backup no need to worry about that

[half bone]

Then he dies to sync because he's frail as balls.

[leaden wraith]

with a strong defensive backup

[half bone]

I canot slow play.

It doesn't matter how strong hte tank is if the DPS is frail on sync.

[leaden wraith]

I meant at worst you can just restart when he misses a crucial move

We know what is best for you, you just have to listen

[half bone]

...Do you guys just... not get how Triple Axle works? It needs accuracy to get max dama.e

Oh thank god, finally.

Please let a good bonus come soon.

Oh my freaking god. Area 7 with no good b onus.

[leaden wraith]

[oblique breach]

Thabk you all for suggesting

But I will tell you now that I will dp hard for Areas 9 and 10

[half bone]

Still. No. Freaking. Boost.

[leaden wraith]

if it's fine to you, go ahead

there is no much time left

[half bone]

I have no idea how to handle this anymore, this lineup hates me.

I don't have anything that can change the weather away from sandstorm without taking a hit.

this has just been a miserable run.

[leaden wraith]

if you don't have any matching roles pairs who can flinch, then better move to hard

[half bone]

Lovely, I'm going to get trash for points then.

This is hard, to note.

[leaden wraith]

or bring an off matching role weather changer, you get 100 more points than moving to H

[half bone]

Options for weather.

really not much, in the grand scheme of things. At least nothing too good.

[leaden wraith]

SS Erika is right here

[half bone]

she basically wastes time for the most part though, until I can get everything set up. And even then, that's most of hte match gone by that point.

[leaden wraith]

[half bone]

She's barely doing damage...

Even with sync.

[leaden wraith]

grid / setup issue

i don't think you ditched Victor for her

[half bone]

...Ghost type boost.

I need a ghost type.

Are you saying I need to ditch ANOTHER point booster?

[leaden wraith]

no

she shouldn't struggle at all in the first place

[half bone]

She's not dealing enough damage before sync, which nukes everything.

and sun wears out before I can finish the sides, which nuke with Earthquake.

I don't think you realize howballs this mode is being towards me.

[leaden wraith]

i only see timing issue

[half bone]

...What timing?

[simple frost]

Set Sun before you Sync with Erika 😮

[half bone]

I only have so many uses.

And sync alone doesn't kill.

[leaden wraith]

alright, what kind of grid are you using on her

along with teammates

[half bone]

Victor, SSA Cyntia (since she's the tankiest support that gets role bonus) and SS Erika.

That's the grid.

[leaden wraith]

there is no issue from both team and sync grid

just get some Sunny Day MPR

[half bone]

What do you expect for her to do, completely evaporate 80% of Hippowdon's HP in one sync move?

and then delete sides before Earthquake deletes her?

She dies to one EArthquake.

[leaden wraith]

did you ignore Cynthia's TM

[half bone]

I use that immediately.

It doesn't save her.

[leaden wraith]

how many Ghost upgrades do you have

and how about the shop

[half bone]

One because I've been waiting ot get anythign that isn't complete trash.

Ghost has been utterly useless for me.

It's a freaking b all and chain around my neck.

It is the entire reason I am forced to use Victor.

[leaden wraith]

move down to H ig

i don't think you want to purchase one more Ghost

[oblique breach]

You know what

Maybe I'll do it

Got myself a nice SP Def boost

[half bone]

And it offers rock as a boost for the next one.

[leaden wraith]

good luck

[half bone]

I swear to god, this game hates me.

Is that even worth it over ghost?

At least rock gets me NC Silver.

[oblique breach]

thank you

[leaden wraith]

will NC Silver see an usage on later rounds?

[half bone]

the round after is strike/tech.

so he could.

[leaden wraith]

how about A10

[half bone]

...That is round 10.

[leaden wraith]

it's good ig

[half bone]

Also, we have permanent ice zone.

[leaden wraith]

try not to overspend if you still have important items unexchanged

[half bone]

all I have is the ghost boost I started iwth and now rock boost.

[leaden wraith]

how about cake vounchers and sync orbs

[half bone]

Oh, you mean there.

[leaden wraith]

your scores are under average

[half bone]

just one cake voucher to get.

[oblique breach]

Got Thornton down to 30% health before I died

[simple frost]

what about the sides?

[oblique breach]

"Unalived"

[simple frost]

feels like another Gym Upgrade should do well.

[oblique breach]

But I just upgraded my NC Leaf to 3/5

[simple frost]

NC Leaf will destroy that stage xD

[oblique breach]

Lovely

I have 1/2 Sunny Day on SS Morty

[half bone]

...now it offers this. The holy freaking grail aside from MC Boost.

[simple frost]

wait

where's the MC Boost? :o? D:

[oblique breach]

Drastic Parfait or Apple Cup for me

The Gym Leader upgrade and parfait cost the same

[simple frost]

dont think you need those.

[half bone]

I said 'aside from MC Boost'.

[oblique breach]

Yeah, I don't think I need them

[half bone]

As in, that would have been better but the mode is wanting ot spite me.

...This is actually perfect for Iridia.

[obsidian sentinel]

Have you not been buying boosts this whole time???

[half bone]

I haven't gotten anything GOOD for boosts.

The first good one I got was Rock, and that was becuase I had NC Silver.

That was on stage 9.

[obsidian sentinel]

Pick a boost and stack it

Buy literally anything that stacks

You have ghost boost available every round, just buy it

[oblique breach]

oh yeah

6800 points

Cleared my very first very hard battle

on Area 10

[simple frost]

nice~

We couldn't just let you go fight Hard Anabel when you have a stack Fire roster against VH Thorton xD

[half bone]

Aaaaaand I CAN'T EVEN DO FREAKING LUCY.

This is what's in the shop, is there any salvation?

[oblique breach]

Now I know who to use when Thornton's on Area 10 VH

smug

[half bone]

Please tell me there's an out I'm missing.

[leaden wraith]

rival is nice for Silver

what VH is it on A10?

[half bone]

Lucy.

[oblique breach]

Now I know that whenever Thornton's on VH, it overrides all other battles

[leaden wraith]

Serena is not a good pick, she is weak to Poison

[twilit chasm]

It’s just your general roster is even not good. I got ground boost before, which is worse than ghost, and still got 9k pts in the end

[leaden wraith]

and there are better speed droppers

[leaden wraith]

unless none of them gets matching roles

[half bone]

These are my speed down pairs.

[simple frost]

it'll depend on your upgrades + Role Bonuses, so just watch out i suppose.

[oblique breach]

I will

[half bone]

Any better options?

[oblique breach]

Staying here because I feel a datamine coming

[leaden wraith]

Ghetsis has nice tech with debuffs

Irida is the best option but NC Silver conflicts with her

[half bone]

Oh my god, he is so gauge heavy with Glaciate, please no.

[leaden wraith]

no?

[simple frost]

with NC Blue buffing, it should help out.

[leaden wraith]

you even have NC Blue

[half bone]

I'll at least try but....

[leaden wraith]

gauge should never be a concern

[half bone]

I hear that so much b efore it does become one.

[leaden wraith]

[simple frost]

If you want, you can grab the DEF Power (+100% more damage when your Sync Pair(s) got a DEF Stat Up)

[twilit chasm]

Cant pelena aoe -2 speed so shes kinda solid as debuffer?

[leaden wraith]

Poison weakness

with little upgrades

[twilit chasm]

Well maybe nc silver can nuke fast enough

Lucy is squishy iirc

[leaden wraith]

nah only 1 Rock and 1 Rival

[half bone]

I am just here to say that GAUGE IS ENTIRELY AN ISSUE EARLY ON.

[leaden wraith]

it's just an early game issue

[half bone]

It throws off my rotation hard.

[leaden wraith]

and you can just open up with 2 uses of X Speed All+

[twilit chasm]

Smh should find more 50 pts boost before

[leaden wraith]

Ghetsis even has MGR9 to help even more, to the point it becomes overkill

[half bone]

Oh my god, how is Blue nearly deade?

[twilit chasm]

I thought nc blue is gauge friendly

[simple frost]

wait what? Antitoxin on everyone?

[half bone]

not until you use the first discharge.

[half bone]

Yes.

This was raw damage.

[obsidian sentinel]

He is

[twilit chasm]

You need to handle the first attack yea, just sacrifice 1 turn

[simple frost]

Oh, its 1/5 NC Blue. right.

[twilit chasm]

If you rolex him already better 3/5 him also for more stuff

[thick mauve]

1/5 ncblue is totally fine for almost every stage, and lucy is one of the easier one you can get tbh

[simple frost]

Pretty sure NC Blue is rolex'd, since he gets +1.5 bonus ffor Strike/Tech

[half bone]

Oh my god, I do so little damage...

[twilit chasm]

How bout posting a video from last run

[leaden wraith]

consider buying the 50 pts power up

[half bone]

...that's red.

[twilit chasm]

def buff maybe usable

I mean boost from def up

[simple frost]

how far were you able to get into the VH LUcy Battle?

[half bone]

This far...

[leaden wraith]

the 50 pts will work

[twilit chasm]

You just need more dmg boost

Better buy things from shop

[twilit chasm]

Like this

[simple frost]

if ya need bulk, the rival upgrade also works, but try the Damage Upgrade first.

[half bone]

Can I even boost that?

[leaden wraith]

you should read NC Blue's passive

[twilit chasm]

Bro you already got +6 spdef that’s the same to def buffed by blue

[half bone]

finally...

[twilit chasm]

I wont torture myself with just theme boost

Better find more good 50 pts also next times

Anw gz

[minor ravine]

I had such a shitty BR run, I couldn’t do Palmer Hard cause no Rei available (used him and had to switch him out) so I had to do Darach on normal

[twilit chasm]

i mean you can just offtype

[minor ravine]

Oh trust me, I tried like three different teams, the boosts I had were awful

And by that, I mean, no boost I could use that round

If only I had Rebuff boost available that run

Still hit 7k in the end, so I’m not too mad

[normal python]

I'm sad I only got 8850 points last week

[twilit chasm]

skill issue frfr

[normal python]

I meant before this reset

[twilit chasm]

better rolex more then

[normal python]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-24966265

[twilit chasm]

my sole reason to rolex now is just for rally lol

[hybrid abyss]

SSHilda is literally role bonuos filler for me lmao

[simple frost]

same. .-.

[normal python]

I look at units who have sprint/field roles because of you know what

[mental raft]

My last week was my highest 8250 points without a Lucky Area! Lol

[normal python]

My last 2 runs have multiple paths until A3, which is annoying

[simple frost]

i'm just waiting for datamine huhu.

but i'm aiming for Riley and Poppy's EXR

[mental raft]

Your name is Rei but you don't have Rei?

[hasty marlin]

I forgot rally this week.

https://tenor.com/view/cartoon-spongebob-squarepants-animated-nickelodeon-oh-no-gif-18120601184625371027

I need to move my alarm to earlier on Sundays

[normal python]

RIP 300 gems

[hasty marlin]

Indeed

Ah well. I’m still at almost 30k now

[obsidian sentinel]

You can do next week's in 3 minutes

[normal python]

What in the fucking fuck, Galar upgrade

[oblique breach]

How'll the rally screw me over this time

[normal python]

Great, I got the exact same A1 role bonus as last week

Oh my god...

[simple frost]

Villain Upgrade INTERESTSING.

I like 😮

[mental raft]

With two fields I can just hope the battles to be not harsh

[hybrid abyss]

I SURVIVED MY FIRST WEEK OF FULLY CARRYING 3 ACCOUNTS

I think the weekly pattern will be using half my brain for the other 2 accounts during whatever downtime I got, then playing on my main whenever I travel with my phone in my pocket.

[leaden wraith]

A10 is Support Sprint end me

[brisk holly]

champion upgrade

[twilit chasm]

nc rosa gaming

[hybrid abyss]

use Metagross first

[brisk holly]

HOPEFULLY with nate now having his ex role, i can proceed through field stages a bit more peacefully

[brisk holly]

🫡

[hybrid abyss]

holdup what's the first area's role bonuses?

[brisk holly]

support and strike

wait maybe i should have inversed that, strike and support

[hybrid abyss]

yeah just use the steel type

[nimble tide]

Trial giver

[carmine glade]

I’m just cracked at rally

[gentle maple]

That stats down power boost tho

[brisk holly]

what is this even 🤡

[gentle maple]

It's not that bad

[normal python]

Now, will I get the same road as last week?

[hybrid abyss]

idk man... this is a sus looking role bonus order

[gentle maple]

I mean if u don't look at role bonus if u have nc rosa and sst red caked u can get to a9

But if u consider role bonus it's pretty specific but good for me

[hybrid abyss]

I'd rather have them save her for A9-10

[gentle maple]

Yeah I counted I can use 19 of my 27 ex roles on that

[pearl lion]

[gentle maple]

18 if my a10 is uncomfortable

[gentle maple]

Yeah see now this is worse

[pearl lion]

fighting buff

[gentle maple]

U can't even sst red all the way

[hybrid abyss]

you should use him on A5 tho

[gentle maple]

Nah I would just greed and a1 to a6

2x double role bonus I take those

[hybrid abyss]

what if htye have 3 support/sprint pairs (unlikely scenario but alas)

ah I didn't spot the A1 role combo

[gentle maple]

Just have to fish for those mpr till a6

Worth

The problem would be a10 tho field and strike

Actually hold on there's nc blue I forgot

[carmine glade]

It’s gaming time

SS silver just shutting Lucy down completely

[hybrid abyss]

holdup he does that?

[normal python]

Tripping Strike 9

[carmine glade]

And with triple Axel it’s -3 every time

[fair ember]

Ghost upgrade

Am fked

[normal python]

So you got my luck last week or 2 weeks ago

[urban ledge]

GOD

DAMMIT

I almost had a heart attack

It’s still hammering in my chest geez

[carmine glade]

Anabel jump scare

[obsidian sentinel]

Anabel: Very Hard

[urban ledge]

Anyway fairy is eww, and not bad final area scoring

Oh HELL yeah!

[leaden wraith]

Crit power up in the shop too this is heaven

Support Sprint on A10 tho...

[urban ledge]

Oof

[hybrid abyss]

I'm getting screwed over with anti-vigilance syndrome

[urban ledge]

Oh didn’t notice the Ice upgrade there

Hmm

Yeah I’ll definitely need a different multiplier later on I’ve got no field fairy and only one sprint fairy and dude is gonna get deployed immediately on area 1 haha

Ice wouldn’t cover in that aspect so I’ll have to risk a different upgrade later on

[half bone]

...

Sees first roles are tech support once more

Oh God, not again

[normal python]

Oh, so just like me huh?

[obsidian sentinel]

Please buy a stacked boost, it will help you greatly

[normal python]

Well, I'm definitely going to buy the MC upgrade

[half bone]

I've had Tech/Support twice before and the layout I got from them SUCKED every time.

[dense latch]

Who would you rather have for area 10? Ss gladion or rei?

[thick mauve]

5/25 set are tech/support. it's not that deep

[normal python]

Depends

SS Gladion has limited move on his B Move, but is immune to things like Lucy. Rei has infinite use on B Move and has more sync CD shenanigans compared to Gladion

[thick mauve]

i would save rei

[simple frost]

give me those 1.2k

Ahaha this is perfect

[dense latch]

My upgrade is rival. Does it change your vote

[simple frost]

hrm thaat Sp.Def Pow is tempting.

Considdering i can use SS Morty up there too

[timid hound]

Finally some good fking food

[dense latch]

I'm leaning towards gladion lol

[thick mauve]

probably, can always move to hard if you get palmer

[dense latch]

Can double sprint gladion not take palmer?

Not enough dmg?

[normal python]

Depends on the boost and stuff

[half bone]

Oh God, it's getting worse

[simple frost]

oh dang. heh

Might as well. Just Sp.ATK for damage

[dense latch]

Rei is a safer bet... with nc rosa

[pearl lion]

miserable experience

[nimble tide]

field.... seesh

[quiet apex]

Not the best. Not the worst

[pearl lion]

have 20k rally points for next month

not a lot but it should be enough

[dense latch]

Nice I spent all mine on silver feathers

[simple frost]

Resetting in Rally or SS May TM www

[nimble tide]

OF ALL THE TIMES TO GET A LUCKY STAGE

[simple frost]

SS Silver sheningans?

[rustic dagger]

imagine having ss silver

couldnt be me

[simple frost]

sadlife

[leaden wraith]

A9 is strike support with the infamous +6 evasion Glacia
my team is NC Blue Zerena Emma

[simple frost]

+6 EVA? ew :<

eww

had to be the one that;s weak to Steel eh

hrm

[dense latch]

What's the gimmick lol I'm doing no dmg

[rustic dagger]

im doing fuck all dmg against a oleana stage

[karmic briar]

Today I learned that kalos boost and sprintfield are not best friends

[leaden wraith]

there is no gimmick besides WEx3 on sides

and Head Start 1

[dense latch]

Ok

[leaden wraith]

that stage requires status condition and terrain change

[rustic dagger]

aoe poison turn one. didnt change terrain tho

guess ill use lyra

[simple frost]

Hrm.

[rustic dagger]

wait no

they use grass zone

[leaden wraith]

[rustic dagger]

surely defog does the trick

[nimble tide]

IMAGINE

having that special

support strike combo for round 10

only to meet Palmer

aka the sprint killer

[fair ember]

Rei vs Palmer trust

[nimble tide]

with no item that reduces sync

it sucks

like yeah i could pop Rosa Rei and Riley

but like

750 😦

sadge

so instead i decided to do a 1200 clear with apple cup

-50 points but

absolute walk in the park against palmer

because why not

[rustic dagger]

defog did not do the trick

guess ill just end it all

[simple frost]

A09 Glacia (Steel)

Oh hey Palmer.

[nimble tide]

my area 9 was

rough

[simple frost]

with 3x Sinnoh and 3x Crit Power

[nimble tide]

it was volkner

[gentle maple]

13/27 used

[nimble tide]

but the holiday version from last year

so i kinda had to....

[leaden wraith]

imagine having Rei

[nimble tide]

cheese it with good ol sleep

1050 instead of 1200

always have a pocket ss cyrus bois

[simple frost]

well 750 to clear. shrug

[gentle maple]

Got mc boost and stat down boost x1 each so just power through every round

[nimble tide]

LITERALLY

[dense latch]

Ss gladion rei and NC Rosa for stage 10? Good choice? 😂

@thick mauve @normal python

[nimble tide]

where riley

[dense latch]

Need rival

[nimble tide]

oh then it gucci

[karmic briar]

My A10 was darach with supp field and kalos boost, so Ncserena + Vthorton and SSMorty gang

The problem was A8, supp sprint and Nessa BC with fluid fortification

[dense latch]

I'll save ss gladion and rei then

[leaden wraith]

my only fear rn is Darach on A10
otherwise i will crush everything with 5 crit power up

[dense latch]

Random as a10 team

[leaden wraith]

[karmic briar]

Had to go for SCshauna and NCRosa dps

[nimble tide]

i'm pro-apple cup

[leaden wraith]

hi pro-apple cup

[nimble tide]

especially if it's 1200 + apple cup full bonus

vs 750

it's just 50 points

but you win so hard it's not even up for debate sometimes

[simple frost]

yeah this should do it hehhee

[bronze aspen]

My best one yet

[nimble tide]

tbh i completely forgot about paulo being a sprint

[dense latch]

What about this stage. Wth is wrong with Aaron 😂

Doesn't die

[karmic briar]

Sentry entry x3

[bronze aspen]

Oh this

[karmic briar]

Shall we read the passive, yes? 👀👀

[dense latch]

So what -def?

[bronze aspen]

You need to use special attacjs

Physical attacks are walled a lot

[karmic briar]

That’s the forbidden Aaron stage that came out before rats

[bronze aspen]

Won't help

Just switch to a special attacker

[dense latch]

OK I'll go with this

[gentle maple]

U got this?

I saved akari and was right since darach came up

[bronze aspen]

I had champion as the boost 3x a week now

[gentle maple]

Tho this seed I can only use half my ex roles

[bronze aspen]

Has anyone elses theme repeat thrice

Or is it just me

[leaden wraith]

if you count the one appearing in shop, technically i got Kanto 3 weeks in a row

[gentle maple]

Fourth week I got a pretty bad start alr but turn it into good run in the middle

[bronze aspen]

My champion was starting boost

Guess i was lucky

[gentle maple]

Trial giver, fairy, poison and this week villian

[leaden wraith]

i managed to win with trial giver it's not that bad

totally not half cake carrying

[simple frost]

https://youtu.be/CkPAeYy7n0Y there we go. o/

3x Theme Upgrade and 3x Crit Pow o/

that A09 fight with Glacia was almost deadly D:

thank god Crit Power just said "I dont care about your Sentry Entry x2"

[fathom yacht]

Is there any way I can take Darach here for 6 roles? I got no Lucky and If i get 6 roles with no items I’ll get 11k

He does so much fkn damage though

[bronze aspen]

What's your wtz?

[fathom yacht]

Leaf

[bronze aspen]

Oh she sets weather? TIL

[fathom yacht]

But i’m waiting for it because it seems only his Defenses are buffed

[fathom yacht]

Yeah on Flare Blitz first use and on Sync if you grid it

I thought this team would be EZ but Elaine takes like 600 on the second Quick Attack

[leaden wraith]

with Drought Alert + right setup you can pre sync darach

[fathom yacht]

And the Heat Wave is 50% on my whole team

[leaden wraith]

you have to make sure WTZ stays up

[fathom yacht]

Idk if i can live

[karmic briar]

You might need to buy a boost bc no boost means double damage

[leaden wraith]

wait VH UB has 100% on every stat, so it's hard to pre sync

[karmic briar]

Btw also Velio can do as a wtz setter

[fathom yacht]

Yeah but then I lose on 11k no Lucky

[leaden wraith]

or accept the point loss

[fathom yacht]

And i’m pretty sure no one has gotten 11k without a lucky yet

[leaden wraith]

i find WTZ on sync quite clunky, every sync cycle Darach can sneak in a boosted attack

[simple frost]

anything in shop that can help?

[leaden wraith]

because WTZ always runs out before the sync

[fathom yacht]

No

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[simple frost]

Fire Power
Cool.

what about SS Acerola? got her?

[fathom yacht]

Yeah

But again -300

Would not having Sun up be the reason he’s hitting hard

[leaden wraith]

Half cake might work but again - 100

[leaden wraith]

exactly

[fathom yacht]

But it says his DEFENSES are tripled out of WTZ

Why is this game not clear on that

[leaden wraith]

his attacks also get boosted by 90% if no WTZ

[fathom yacht]

Ok lemme try but fish for Elaine Flinch and immediate Leaf sun

[leaden wraith]

good luck

[dense latch]

That was so much dmg lol

[fathom yacht]

Yeah no it’s not happening lmao

Even in sun he does like 30% with Heat Wave

[leaden wraith]

classic moment in BR

[fathom yacht]

And a Cerena sync with 2 sync boosts a rebuff and max power play does get this

[leaden wraith]

sometimes you have to accept the loss

[fathom yacht]

8% OF HIS HEALTH

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[simple frost]

not enough power 😭

[fathom yacht]

Fuck this game lmao

[karmic briar]

Just go on hard

[fathom yacht]

11k no Lucky will have to wait

[karmic briar]

I had to give up on it too today

[fathom yacht]

I’m still getting 10k easily

[simple frost]

can/t be helped, u got rng'd 😭

[karmic briar]

Got 10750

[fathom yacht]

But man that’s sad

[karmic briar]

Grass doesn’t have many double role options tbf

[fathom yacht]

I have the whole thing recorded too

That run would have been legendary

More like none at all

Lyra Field? Nah

I think this is doomed by my boost being grass tbh

I thought that was a good role but it’s actually trash

Bc again no doubles

[leaden wraith]

me sweating rn

i also got Grass

[fathom yacht]

[simple frost]

this was my shop for this run

[fathom yacht]

This was my lineup this BR

It looked intimidating but it turned out busted actually

I don’t care for the 2 tech sprint stages but other than that

[leaden wraith]

this seed may be the best one

i also got my 11k without lucky with this seed once

[fathom yacht]

Oh i thought almost no one had done that

😭

[leaden wraith]

well most vets should have 20+ EXR rn

[fathom yacht]

I have like 23

[leaden wraith]

so you will see it more common nowadays

i had 23 back then iirc

[fathom yacht]

I have one combo maxed out rn at 6 units, Tech Support

Once you get 6 units with a combo it’s a waste to go further bc you shouldn’t usually see 3 of the same combo

[gentle maple]

I almost wanted to cake Morty but datamine is too close

[fathom yacht]

Oh yeah I forgot too, my Hard mode is Anabel

🤡

So that’s not an option

[leaden wraith]

i don't think you need to go lower

how's your tech and support roster?

[fathom yacht]

Elaine Leaf VElio SSteven both Frogs

[leaden wraith]

at worst you just lose 1 matching role, NC Leaf and Serena destroy Darach with proper WTZ support

[fathom yacht]

It’s not looking good

I probably swap Elaine for Acerola

[leaden wraith]

Acerola is weak to Flying so be careful

or tank with Leaf

[fathom yacht]

I would tank with Leaf

Yeah

[leaden wraith]

[fathom yacht]

Or I could use Adaman

That’s probably better actually

[leaden wraith]

doesn't hurt to try

[fathom yacht]

See the problem is I can’t sync with all 3 at once

I would fuck darach up so hard if I could

[timid hound]

Advice please:

Currently Area 9 Field-Support bonus. Area 10 is Field-Tech. Upgrade: 1x Champion 1x Paralyze PU

Q: Do I sink NCSerena in A9 or A10?

[fathom yacht]

Imagine taking a max Adaman, NCleaf, NCerena sync all at once

[leaden wraith]

Adaman has Drought Alert too so you can rotate between Leaf => him -> Serena -> him

[leaden wraith]

how about both

do you have VThorton?

[timid hound]

No VThorton

Does NCSerena have MPR

[leaden wraith]

yes

[timid hound]

Or does she just do nothing for A9

I could try that

It's SSMorty battle though hm

[leaden wraith]

so do you have him?

[timid hound]

No VThorton

[leaden wraith]

i meant Morty

[timid hound]

SSMorty? Yes

[leaden wraith]

i do reading

so it's not a trouble at all

[timid hound]

How come?

It's not adding up

[leaden wraith]

you said A9 is Field Support and it's the stage in SS Morty's event, right?

[timid hound]

Correct

I'd like to throw SSSteven as well

[leaden wraith]

so yeah no need to worry much

[timid hound]

No AOE pressure?

Just Venu

Hm

[leaden wraith]

Venu is great

[timid hound]

Hold on

[leaden wraith]

coincidentally I used SS Morty and Mixed on Field Support area, with the stage being made for SS Morty

[timid hound]

Does Rebuff disable Acute Senses?

[leaden wraith]

yes

wait

you meant SS Morty as the opponent?

[timid hound]

Yes

[leaden wraith]

so it's Eusine's stage

[timid hound]

Sure

I don't remember based off events

[leaden wraith]

i would save Cerena's B Move for A10, and find someone with status change

[timid hound]

NCRosa

Lfg

What LS should I give NCRosa?

Vigi, Flameproof, Escape Artist?

If I Sing SSMorty will it skip Fire Spin?

[leaden wraith]

he might use it again

[dense latch]

Loving mix red and ss morty going on field combo

[timid hound]

Lmao Flinchbot NCSerena is so real

Ended up going with Flameproof

Flinched everyone to high heaven

The one time SSMorty queued Sacred Fire it missed

SSTRed should be syncing right?

Should I relegate NCSerena to utility debuffer grid then?

Brutal Swing DC9 looks nice and helps Red

[leaden wraith]

SST Red should only sync from 60% HP onwards

[timid hound]

Ok

I'll keep nuke build on NCSerena then

[leaden wraith]

just use his max move as the first action, defense debuffing is not a problem anymore

[timid hound]

Kk

Is status condition = status change?

[leaden wraith]

nope

[timid hound]

Humm

[carmine glade]

Volt tackle

[leaden wraith]

rebuffs count as status change tho

[timid hound]

Oh right

B Volt Tackle ignores it no?

Anyways I have rebuff from NCSerena

[leaden wraith]

yes it does, but not Sentry Entry x3

[timid hound]

Ok

Do sides also benefit from this

[leaden wraith]

Red will chip the sides

[timid hound]

The sentry wise entry x3 & no status changes = 3x defenses

Cool

Let's do it

[leaden wraith]

Palmer on A10 i will try to see if a Psychic theme is enough

it also got sale

[timid hound]

My NCSerena is doing pretty poorly dmg wise

Could it be from only 1 boost

Hm

[leaden wraith]

maybe

your teams with +1 boost is the same as fighting the usual UB

[timid hound]

Imma try to use NCLeaf

[leaden wraith]

wait you got NC Leaf?

[timid hound]

Yeah

But she's 1/5

So that's kinda yikes

[leaden wraith]

nah it's still great

[timid hound]

Who's doing damage

Until 60%

[leaden wraith]

both her and Red

[timid hound]

Ok

[leaden wraith]

her sync is special

[timid hound]

No PP

That's Power Play for all of yall reading

[craggy helm]

I—…..I can’t even power through it with SST Red like I did with field….

[leaden wraith]

it's cool because her innate is also PP

[timid hound]

She has innate PP?

Wtf NCLeaf good unit

She ate

Not bad for a tech heavy pattern

[leaden wraith]

gg

[timid hound]

Sometimes NCSerena isn't the answer

[leaden wraith]

I think only 4 crit power is enough, for the nicely 10k

[simple frost]

i like her for her sync countdown tbh o/

[leaden wraith]

for me she always is

[timid hound]

That's 5 more crit power than me

[leaden wraith]

i have it spawning in the shop 2 weeks in a row already

[leaden wraith]

this is against Palmer btw

finally i beat him in Rally

[timid hound]

How much did NCSerena nuke do

[leaden wraith]

172k iirc

with just a few debuffs

[timid hound]

Oh

Ooh

[leaden wraith]

the power of crit power up

[timid hound]

We should tie Gakon up next time so the rest of us can actually have a chance to get crit pu

[leaden wraith]

i always come back

[timid hound]

Muh crit pus

[simple frost]

I got crit pow this week. With palmer at the end o.o

[molten ice]

I keep getting the sprint/field in area 5 and 10 seed
I also need to EX role more stuff but I guess I will wait for datamine

[simple frost]

Managed to presync palmer with aura Cynthia, nc serena and sst red keke.

Welp im done with this month's shop

[gentle maple]

9.3k into next month, realised I don't really need PU that much

[quiet tiger]

Villain upgrade... decent seed tho

[simple frost]

Only 1 sprint/field area o/

[fathom yacht]

I got it with Elaine Adaman and NCLeaf

Took me 2 fucking hours

🤡

10850 no lucky

[timid hound]

Yeah cuz you're ReiGOD

[simple frost]

Even if he managed to sync, sst red wouldve killed them all

[quiet tiger]

👊

[mental raft]

How should I plan it with just two Field units?
All of my field and Sprint Units (ignore Leon and SC Irida).

Sadly there are three field sprint area as well

Alola upgrade

[leaden wraith]

That's tricky. The first Field Sprint ruins Rika and Geeta plan

And the A7 prevents you from using Geeta

Are aforementioned options caked?

[quiet tiger]

Stalled

[mental raft]

What?

Oh got it they are all caked

[leaden wraith]

Are you fine with some points loss?

[mental raft]

That's the filter

yeah I am!
I just want least lose, that's why I am here!

[leaden wraith]

Alright, save Geeta and Rei for stage 8 onwards

Start using Rika from A5

[mental raft]

First I thought
A1 to 6 Geeta
A5 to 10 Rika
A3 Poppy and Riley
A6 Rei
A9 NC Rosa
But I thought it might go wrong

[mental raft]

Ok

[leaden wraith]

I think you plan works better, but have you got plan to fill the empty slot on Field Sprint stages like A6 for example?

The stupid A8 locks you from usiny NC Rosa

[mental raft]

A6 will be full then with Geeta Rei and Rika

[leaden wraith]

Oh right i Forgot

[mental raft]

It's A9 which is empty

But the problem is both NC Rosa and Rika are primarily support

For A9

And I can't switch between Geeta and Rika

And worst part is Alola Upgrade! They are all just F2Ps

[leaden wraith]

You can aim for better upgrades

Sadly the nature of roguelike may be cruel

You might be forced to ruin your plan

[urban ledge]

Ok ok definitely ditching Fairy but ugh

Fire or dark lol

[leaden wraith]

Do you have Akari

[urban ledge]

Yep

[leaden wraith]

Or NY Wallace

[urban ledge]

Nope

I do have EXR SS Morty tho

[leaden wraith]

You should post your both types' roster and your seed

[mental raft]

Yeah I fear so! I did once A1 to 10 NC Rosa.
But Rika is not so tolerant

[leaden wraith]

So i can give most accurate advice

[urban ledge]

It’s that bloody double sprint field that gives me pause lol

[leaden wraith]

What round are you on rn

[urban ledge]

Still 2

[leaden wraith]

Yeah

[urban ledge]

Hmm

[leaden wraith]

For now I'm leaning towards Fire, until you show your roster

[urban ledge]

Either way both fire and dark just gives me one single Field to work with, but I do have a lot more OP fire types to work with

I already fielded Gladion for A1 fwiw haha. Gotta get them points

I THINK I can get past A4 without a single boost…

With the right support

[mental raft]

Let me brainstorm some more!
Maybe there is a way I can fit 1 theme pair and one field and one sprint for max points.

It looks like I urgently need some field and sprint pairs in upcoming months!

[leaden wraith]

Yes Fire is way better

[urban ledge]

Yep lol

[leaden wraith]

The lack of Field and Sprint really hurts

[fair ember]

More weirdass teams of this week

[mental raft]

One more thing, would it be wise to just save my field and sprints for later stage, just in case I may encounter a lucky stage in field sprint?

[urban ledge]

Can you not see your entire area yet?

[mental raft]

I think you didn't get my point!
But leave it.
I am thinking some more combinations!

[quiet tiger]

Funny time

[leaden wraith]

I strongly recommend it, but you Field Sprint stages spread out wide so it's best stick to your original plan

[leaden wraith]

Malva is basically Southeastern Asia experience

[fair ember]

What

[simple frost]

essentially... Sunny Weather

[urban ledge]

Uuuuuuuugh Palmer

[simple frost]

Crit 3 Power with Strike Support hrm

should be doable?

[urban ledge]

Yeah gonna see if what o have works first lol

I could slot in Zerena or 1/5 SSHilda for more points but I don’t think they have enough nuke to do it

[simple frost]

anytihng in shop that can help?

you need Power and a bit of bulk.

[urban ledge]

There’s always more Crit and Fire boosts haha

Oh wait

[simple frost]

if you have a Support/Strike, could work. 900 points if you beat it.

[urban ledge]

Hmm half cake probably isn’t too helpful

[simple frost]

yeah, you need power.

Try doing normal run first, see howw much daamage you can do with both NC Leaf and NC serena

[gentle maple]

I've come to realised saving akari and NC Serena is a very safe bet for a10

[simple frost]

NC Serena sure, Akari depends.

(As well as your role bonuses/ upgrades)

[gentle maple]

Nah akari counters darach quite hard even with very little boost

But yeah role bonus first

If u save those 2, it all come downs to a weather changer and palmer

[quiet tiger]

I could really do with my 3rd Mix Blue right about now

[hexed crane]

I knew it would be anabel. Glad I gambled with the rock upgrade. I hate the sprint heavy seed

[simple frost]

4x Rock Upgrades and 4x Rock Power? 😮

you need a really good debuffer then for that third slot hrm.

[hexed crane]

I hate anabel and Palmer with a passion

The minute I saw rock upgrade for sale I stacked it

[simple frost]

you're pretty stacked tbh

so just need a really good debuffer.

[hexed crane]

Rika did it for me

[simple frost]

u cleared? 😮

oh 4/5 Rika

[urban ledge]

Oh hell yeah managed to squeeze in SSHilda in there for more points haha thanks for all the help

… huh

That’s quite the stockpile

[simple frost]

o.o

up to you.

i'd start using up them orbs when you hit 900k+

[urban ledge]

Just gotta think who to dump it on haha

+6 energy isn’t a lot and get could be just enough

[simple frost]

depends i suppose.

you can ask around people's +2 and above grids

[hexed crane]

I just used 3/5 noxious hit. She also debuffs when attacked

[simple frost]

i haven't used her enough for sheningans. Guess i'll start using her for debuffing sheningans 🙂

[urban ledge]

Also 7k extra tickets is just what a 4 week month needed haha

[simple frost]

having extra means you dont have to go tryhard on your succeeding rally runs

[carmine glade]

Eventually it’ll get to the point where income exceeds what you spend

[mental raft]

K!
Thankyou Gakon
You are always so kind to help!

[carmine glade]

Like with every other resource

[viral loom]

Doable without buffs?

Roar of time 1 shots NCBlue in zone

[fair ember]

Am i losing

[leaden wraith]

[leaden wraith]

no you are Shibi

you can give it a try

tho i think an on demand weather setter is better

[twilit chasm]

looks like you pull every x2 bonus without theme boost for more bulk

lucas at a9 is quite troublematic

[viral loom]

That I do whenever it's possible

But this one doesn't look doable to me

[twilit chasm]

just curious but which seed you got

[viral loom]

Even at -6 SpAtk and +6 SpDef SSSerena gets oneshoted by sync

[twilit chasm]

better sacrifice one bonus for theme unit

[viral loom]

It's shaping to be a +10k tho

[twilit chasm]

oh, you should use zerena or lussamine at a3 from the start

so that you wont lose bonus

[leaden wraith]

well they don't know that they will get Lucas battle

[twilit chasm]

well lesson learned

[leaden wraith]

if i were them, i would still save 3 double bonus pairs for A9

[viral loom]

Wdym lesson learned, it's just luck of the draw

I already used another 3 pairs for full bonus in that stage

[leaden wraith]

for this one specifically you should replace one of them for a zone setter

[viral loom]

I saved the 3 best ones for a9

[twilit chasm]

i dont think you can beat lucas with that comp

[viral loom]

Which are these three

[viral loom]

Doesn't really look like, been on this for a while

[twilit chasm]

the thing is, if you use all 3 at a9, you cant have a slot for theme unit

[viral loom]

I know, but I already used another 3 at a3?

I'm just trying to see if I can get 1200 on both stages

[twilit chasm]

it's unnecessary to save all ideal units till higher stage when using in lower stage still gives same points

[leaden wraith]

maybeeee with crazy flinch luck you can brute force through the stage

[twilit chasm]

you have other 3 for a3?

[viral loom]

That's what I was saying

I used Penny, SSHilda and Emma for a3

[twilit chasm]

smh i prefer rolex every role combo than focusing on one combo lol

[viral loom]

Even getting 3 syncs before their 1st sync with crazy flinch did booboo damage on them

[twilit chasm]

my strike/support is just nc blue and zerena

[leaden wraith]

accept the loss then ig

[viral loom]

Me too, but got some extra cake through pulls

I already have 3 ex role of every combination that I have pairs for

[leaden wraith]

i don't like judging on others' cake targets

[twilit chasm]

anw if you are patient enough then keep resetting for flinch hax like gakon said

[fair ember]

Did very hard Thorton instead, one Ultra jelly is all i needed

[viral loom]

Been on this for a h, I'm just swapping for the Johto boost already

[fair ember]

New high score yess

[stark dawn]

F I got the worst stage

[leaden wraith]

just sleep and flinch™️

[stark dawn]

with palmer and nc red in the team yeah

[leaden wraith]

just freeze™️

iirc NC Red has Dauntless so it's not an issue

[nimble tide]

I forgot which stage it was but

They really recommend you to freeze as a thing

Drake extreme

Sides are weak to physical

[leaden wraith]

Ice weak Drake CS ig

[nimble tide]

But yeh

I had to sleep cheese w serena

Trial giver sucks

And it was tech sprint

[stark dawn]

oh yeah ez

[nimble tide]

Both sucked btw

Drake extreme and

Anabel

[twilit chasm]

i dont even know lucky stage exists

[viral loom]

Decent haul ig

Haven't been able to take advantage of my Strike/Sprint nor my Tech/Strikers with this seed

Nor the 🐀

[zealous plover]

I have a champion boost and my bonuses are strike and sprint. Should I be putting someone who can boost Blue's special attack?

[leaden wraith]

Blue can do it by himself

[hexed crane]

I mean blue can max his own stars if you grid tm mpr

It’s also area 2 so fairly easy

[leaden wraith]

yeah the tile is Ramped Up

[zealous plover]

Oh I forgot about ramped up!

I was worried self buffing would take too long

[hexed crane]

If you want to save him for the next stage use siebold to sync and blue to flinch

[zealous plover]

The next stage is Field and Tech

[hexed crane]

Fair enough. Wasn’t sure what your champion box looked like

[craggy helm]

Praying I eventually get a better upgrade but as of late I haven’t had that type of luck

[zealous plover]

How do y'all track your battle rally clears? Do you use a spreadsheet?

[karmic wraith]

this seed has the exact same stages 1-5 and 6-10

fascinating

also sprint/field area 10 cuz of course

[fickle drum]

I can double role match 14 out of my 21 caked units this week not good, not terrible I guess

[leaden wraith]

pretty much yeah

[twilit chasm]

i just check my seed then pull any x2 they give

too lazy to write a sheet for every week

[quaint star]

Another hoenn upgrade. I can do fine, I suppose

[quiet tiger]

Does this even work against Palmer?

[leaden wraith]

yes
