Battle Rally

[prisma gyro]

Yeah there are quite a few seeds which repeat like that. Like mine this week.

MC is such a good theme boost. Easily one of the top ones, along with champion

[karmic wraith]

free boost is dark... shop had electric stage 1 though, NABBED

[prisma gyro]

Time to cake riley

[tame forge]

Not the alola boost this week

[brisk holly]

should i buy one of these rn, i have progressed past area 2 in the rally yet, or should i save for the upcoming areas

[leaden wraith]

burn and para power up are too niche, and how good is the Johto upgrade depends on your roster

[brisk holly]

johto rosters ^

[prisma gyro]

Is the yellow one champion? That's already a great theme boost if you have a couple of neo champs

[brisk holly]

yeah i have the free champion upgrade, i only have nc nate and nc silver in terms of ncs though

[prisma gyro]

Oh you must be quite new

What's your seed?

Johto boost wouldn't be very effective if the seed has lots of sprint and field. Johto doesn't have lots of those.

Your johto roster would be great for a support/strike heavy seed

[brisk holly]

yeah still getting used to the battle rally haha

[prisma gyro]

You may want to save nc silver for a10

Oof, 5 consecutive areas with sprint and/or field

Nc Nate can take care of a5 to 7

Assuming you've caked nc nate and nc silver

[brisk holly]

i only caked nate 🫠 trying to work on caking silver

[prisma gyro]

Johto boost is not too bad. The only possible problems are a3 and 4

If nc nate is 2/5 then he can fish for mpr and sweep a5 to 8 with champion boost

How's your champion roster?

[brisk holly]

oh awesome bc my nc nate is 2/5

[brisk holly]

kinda ass in terms of how many i have 🤡

[prisma gyro]

Can you fill 3 sprint fields for a3? If not then i'd take the point loss and go with ss steven for a2 to 4. A1 can use blue/steven.

So with only champion boost
A1: blue/steven
A2-4: ss steven
A5-8: nc nate
A9: no champs unfortunately
A10: nc silver

Johto boost allows you to throw in a support for a9

[brisk holly]

oh awesome thanks 🫡 my only sprint roster is riley, idk how to fit him in anywhere

[prisma gyro]

Slotting him into either of the sprint/field areas is probably best

Earlier is perhaps better, so you can be more flexible and answer the later stage's gimmick (this is assuming you can't fill all 3 role bonus for both sprintfield stages)

[brisk holly]

guys what’s a lucky area 🧍‍♀️

[prisma gyro]

Very easy battle against 3 togepi for double the normal points, so vh gives 600 points for example

You'd want to throw all the role bonus at a lucky stage to maximise the points gained

[brisk holly]

oooooh nice

i was hoping darach would appear but i never cleared a very hard stage in the rally before

[prisma gyro]

Perfect stage for nc silver

[brisk holly]

i have no more sprints left, and silver isn’t caked, so idk who else to bring in

[prisma gyro]

Any decently tanky strikers?

And did you end up buying the johto boost? +200% should make it very doable

[twilit chasm]

I mean silver doesnt need to be caked?

[brisk holly]

i forgot to 🫠🫠🫠 by the time i remembered, it was too late

[twilit chasm]

Moment when steven is appreciated

You can just buy another champion upgrade at this rate

[brisk holly]

yeah i was thinking of doing that lol, my dumbass really forgot to buy the johto upgrade

[fickle drum]

Lucy vh is such an easy clap lmao, everyone at full health even with only 1 active boost

[prisma gyro]

10k

[daring tide]

are galar upgrade, flying upgrade, and villain upgrade worth the points?

[simple frost]

depends on your roster for each.

Villain has a bunch of Sprint sync pairs.

if you have them i mean.

[daring tide]

ss gladions my only sprint villain, zamn

[simple frost]

how's your Seed?

[daring tide]

lemme send a pic hold on

yoinky

[simple frost]

interesting.

how's your Galar though?

Galar roster?

[leaden wraith]

You dont need to worry much about Field Sprint

[daring tide]

well lets seeeee
for galar, i got nc marnie, sonia, hop, raihan, bea, gordie, a few others

[leaden wraith]

It's alright, but no standout options

If you want to buy a theme now, Galar is a decent option

Otherwise i recommend waiting for better options

[daring tide]

i snagged the galar and flying too just bc
alrightie lets go

[simple frost]

eh

your initial was Villain right?

[leaden wraith]

Keep in mind that Flying is not a good option for Field Sprint coverage, but they don't have many standout options for hard stages either

Keep that in mind

[simple frost]

I also dont recommend buying more different theme boosts. It locks you out of options in Theme boosts/Upgrade Boosts each shop for those that you buy.

[daring tide]

onto a2 now
what about fire upgrade

[daring tide]

nope, galar

[simple frost]

how's your Fire Upgrade?

err fire roster?

• your EXRs for them

[daring tide]

lets take a looksee

the yoinky sploinky

also hilda and calem but they didnt fit lol

[simple frost]

could work.

you can also use Eggmons to fit the bill as well.

[leaden wraith]

That's not really better than Galar

You should ignore theme boosts for now unless they are MC or Champion which are extremely good options

[daring tide]

kk!

[twilit chasm]

my dragon roster is not so good

Geeta gaming lets gooo

[south pawn]

My only Field/Sprint Units are Geeta (EXR) SSA Cynthia (EXR) and Riley (No EXR). Are they worth all dumping onto either stage 2 or 6? Or better to split them? I’m not sure if there’s a difference point wise

[timid hound]

Uh

[obsidian sentinel]

Stage two and six are tech striker

[timid hound]

Why are you dumping sprint field units in A2 or A6 when they're tech strike

Dump them in A4

[austere cipher]

#game-announcements message

[timid hound]

Rally Update or riot

[austere cipher]

yes

[simple frost]

wait

Neo Champion Unova?!

[timid hound]

Likely

The only neo thing I want is more Rally features

[simple frost]

Battle Rally Lite. No points become points, so i can test thing D:

[urban ledge]

I wanna see what they use the multiplier we always see at the end for

[leaden wraith]

for now it's only used for retiring

[urban ledge]

Aye

How much penalty was it again

[simple frost]

iirc x0.2

[leaden wraith]

0.2x

[urban ledge]

Eesh

[timid hound]

I suspect there may be future events that modify the multiplier

[simple frost]

it would mean, they'd add new things in rally shop. mebe.

[timid hound]

[sweet mango]

What’s a good tm mpr grid for +6e 3/5 sstred?

[leaden wraith]

For nuking i would use this: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/2/2500?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFGB0gIyUnKSwtLw

Ofc you should adjust the grid depending on the situation

[sweet mango]

How much crit power should I stack?

[simple frost]

Area 4 or something?

[sweet mango]

Yeah

How do i make sstred tank?

I have ss may and archer for 2x

[simple frost]

If u dont have useable theme bonus, id stack power up to 3 to 4 tbh.

Just test ur team first before buying a stack

But with sstred, should be a breeze

[sweet mango]

Hey 4200 points. Is this worth?

[simple frost]

Uve got crit power already

[sweet mango]

[simple frost]

Id aim for theme boosts/ bulk for fights on ur way up

[sweet mango]

If only i caked sslusa

[simple frost]

Use an ice type for bulk

Since u dont seem to have another 2x unit

[sweet mango]

I used caitlin and iono against nc hop. Iono’s endure let me win with only zerena alive

I had nc blue

Is sinnoh worth?

[simple frost]

Interesting. Aura Cynthia for a10

[sweet mango]

Yeah

[simple frost]

What about exr?

[sweet mango]

2x

[simple frost]

Id go for it for bulk

[sweet mango]

[simple frost]

Strike + tech looks nice too

Volo for a07, akari for a09

Zapdos wouldve been really nice for that strike sup area but considering it was early, cant be helped

[sweet mango]

I had thorton and used ssacynthia, nc serena, and nc leaf. I probably should have used another support/sprint

I bought powerups and sync orbs and still have 12k points

[stiff flume]

Is this a standard behavior?

[leaden wraith]

I don't think brute forcing Healthy Advantage is a standard behavior

[stiff flume]

I mean the flinch denial

First time I have to juggle that way, normally they use tms after getting fkinched

[leaden wraith]

Yeah ik but brute forcing it is insane

[stiff flume]

Max move w 6 buffs 📈

[muted sparrow]

If only that stage isn’t Tech/Sup

I’ll definitely bring Lyra to end that suffering

[stiff flume]

Lyra supp cake when
Rip field

Btw I wanted that x6 without dropping ncLeaf (planned for A10)

I found this stage more annoying than roark to some extent

[mental raft]

Anything I should buy from the shop to clear?
Or should I depend on sleep flinch?
Bruno's earthquake is hell even deadlier than the sync.

[stiff flume]

do you have any other sprintfield options?

[mental raft]

Rei, but I have another sprint field at A9

Quite fucked up seed this time

[stiff flume]

So only 4 left? Play with your theme then
2 here and 2 A9, so you can fit alola theme boost in both

[mental raft]

Working on this, just swapped Rei with Rosa

[mental raft]

Ok! I guess that would be more appropriate.
Ty

[stiff flume]

Yeah
Drop rosa, keep her for A9, she's not going to sleep bcs of poison plus A9 you have Rosa+Rei so you can make good use of that fighting rebuff

[mental raft]

Okay!

[austere cipher]

Finally redlax

Red & Snorlax : Sprint
Anabel & Snorlax : Field
Sygna Suit Ethan & Lugia : Field
Sygna Suit Korrina & Marshadow : Support
Sygna Suit Lana & Tapu Lele : Sprint

[muted sparrow]

Hope and Dream about SS Lyra (Field)

Unless all 3 get Field

[normal python]

Hopefully not, I wanna see all SS Lyra havers riot and suffer

[simple frost]

Redlax and spring eh hrm interesting

Tech sup as well kewl.

[austere cipher]

yes bud

[austere cipher]

bro don't hurt my ss lyra feelings

[leaden wraith]

SS Kris tech and SS Lyra strike

[urban ledge]

SS Ethan and Red are the only additions to my sprint and field. But neat choices.

[hybrid abyss]

YO **PSYCHIC UPGRADE **IS GOOD RIGHT??? I got Strike/Field as starting, with Strike/Support & Tech/Support as possible A10 role bonuses. Best of all:

SSLusamine - /
SSSteven - /

No-brainer, right?

To addon, I also want to know what UB would be detrimental for me to face if I commit to this upgrade. What of it?
(P.S cuz I didn't mention this before: Battle Facility Foe Upgrade as the starting upgrade 💀 )

[leaden wraith]

yeah Psychic is on the better side

[hybrid abyss]

what of this inquiry then?

Admittedly, I can't list the UBs off the top of my head

From difficulty: UBLucy, UBDarach, UBArgenta, UBAnabel, UBPalmer

[leaden wraith]

depends on your roster

[hybrid abyss]

what was the last one(s)?

[leaden wraith]

Thorton

[hybrid abyss]

ah I knew I was missing something

guess I should buy Psychic Upgrade and yolo A1 now

Is this stage Adaman & Irida's debut stage? Ice/Grass weak.

[leaden wraith]

yes

with Cynthia as the opponent

[hybrid abyss]

damn you sure know a lot of these battles

Do you just know them by heart now?

[leaden wraith]

yes

[hybrid abyss]

teach me your ways

I got A4-a role rotation

1. / , 2. / [...] 10. /

[simple frost]

interesting 😮

[hybrid abyss]

oh my god... I just realized that I can chain / from A1-A5 without even noticing

All I have to do is carefully plan the strat

[mental raft]

NC Rosa and other units will get a relief, thank God I have Redlax.

[leaden wraith]

first: be insane

[timid hound]

NORMAL ZONE YURR

[stark dawn]

Smh normal best zone

[timid hound]

This update unlocks a 2nd pair for Normal Zone and Flying Zone

Increased flexibility for sprintfield

No longer Palmer/aSkyla gated

[stiff flume]

Normal Zone to help Palmer

[timid hound]

I legit don't use Anabel at all

1/5 though

Maybe her grid makes her much better? Lemme check

[stark dawn]

tbf

[timid hound]

Oh yeah her grid is a boost

[stark dawn]

I don't think Anabel is good with Palmer specifically

With other Normal DPS sure, but not Palmer

[timid hound]

She doesn't do anything specifically for palmer

Nice to have but not a need

Larry + Palmer though

[stark dawn]

He wants to delay his first crush grip for after the support sync, so he needs to use 3 moves beforehand (or sync accel shenanigans but im not into that), so he wants to use zone

LARRY PALMER YEAAHH

[timid hound]

Actually joever

Lots of good pairs this time round

Sprintfield still 404 though

[stiff flume]

Mb I meant to help Palmer kill you on A10
She's decently good with crit shield n reflect, if you got field+strike Palmer she's a great secondary addition just avoid his burst dmg
Similar to bellelba

[timid hound]

Most of the time it's not worth it to play the long game vs VH Palmer

You're better off downgrading to H if you can't burst him before Max Strike

[stiff flume]

If you have crit shield it's mostly fine
PB is the true killer after all

[timid hound]

[stiff flume]

A10 strike/ field or sprint/field solutions

Having sprint field on A10 is a crime tho, still no units with that combination. The hell

I was expecting like a mediocre pair with those roles released purely for that

The more they wait the less relevant that combination is

[timid hound]

HAnni pair trust lol

[oblique breach]

I got steel

[timid hound]

Not the worst

But perhaps pivoting is in the cards

[mental raft]

I am stuck here!
Can't replace Rika as A9 is Sprint Field.
Also Grimsley is 2/5 not gridded (just testing)
Upgrade is Alola x2.
What should I do?

Available Alolans and the shop

[simple frost]

how close are you beating that area?

[mental raft]

Center Grimsley 25%, sides unaffected until my Grimsley and Hop faints

I synced first with Hop

[simple frost]

hrm.

how bout buying 1 of the 2 power ups.

what's your A010 Role Bonus spread looking like?

[mental raft]

Field Tech
I am thinking of triple tech their

[simple frost]

any Field/Techs for x2.0 bonus?

[mental raft]

Nope

The only alive field is Rika

Geeta is seriously hurt in A6

[simple frost]

hmm

you could buy both power ups. as long as your team has a Speed and/or Sp.Def buff, +100% damage.

per stack.

[stiff flume]

2/5 ungridded Kgrimsley isn't doing much
Swap him with elio, put them to sleep, your main damage dealer is Hop

[mental raft]

Ok! I think I will replace Grimsley with another Alolan who can increase speed

[mental raft]

Yeah, ok

[simple frost]

sleep sheningans is cheaper i suppose, but those Power ups look neat enough for VH

[mental raft]

I will try both

[mental raft]

Oh no!

I don't think that I can beat any of them.

[leaden wraith]

You can if you have to forfeit some points for an Alolan

How is the shop and your available Field Sprint and Alolan pairs?

[simple frost]

you should still have access to Masked Royale right?

[mental raft]

This is all I have

[mental raft]

Yeah

[mental raft]

No I am at A10
Sprint field is over

[leaden wraith]

Mb i mistool the tech icon

[mental raft]

I have to triple tech

Rika is about to die

[leaden wraith]

She can stay

Try SS Leaf, The Masked Royal and her

Use Potion on her first turn

And i don't think you can beat VH, so H it is

[mental raft]

Is masked royal even batter than Ghetsis and Sidney?
I didn't know that, never seen somebody using him either!

[leaden wraith]

Masked Royal is for đebufing defense and activating Alola theme

[mental raft]

Oh mb okok

[leaden wraith]

He is a good nuker if you grid him properly

[mental raft]

I think I can't 6*ex him

But I will give it a go

Thankyou

[simple frost]

gl o/

[leaden wraith]

I dont think he needs EX

Good luck

[mental raft]

This is the closest I was able to get

Should I move to Normal?

[leaden wraith]

are SS Leaf gridded with healing stuff and Masked Royal with sync nuking?

[mental raft]

Yes

Wait

[leaden wraith]

the grids look fine, tho MR can pick Insult to Injury instead of move BP tiles

TMR has max speed, at least +4 atk and +3 crit right?

[mental raft]

I don't know what's MR, TMR and BP tiles is?

You can tell me the colour

And whom we are talking about, Leaf or Kukui?

[simple frost]

MR = Masked Royale
TMR = TM Refresh
BP = Battle Power - essentially the attack move incremental buff for the sync pair's moves.

[leaden wraith]

BP is base power

TMR is The Masked Royal

[leaden wraith]

wdym Kukui i was talking about Masked Royal's grid

[mental raft]

Yeah mb they are just same person

[mental raft]

Wait a min I will check all this

Yeah all conditions met

[leaden wraith]

you should sync with Rika first, then Leaf until 60% HP threshold

[formal gull]

lucky area A4

[leaden wraith]

after that Thorton's Sentry Entry x3 will switch into Wise Entry x3

[formal gull]

also man i am not getting any useful boosts in shop

[leaden wraith]

hmm Royal's Rock weakness is a problem too

[formal gull]

stuck with normal x1 lmao

[leaden wraith]

bro congrats for the wait. Kabu is such a bless

[formal gull]

my wait has paid off

2 weeks and he'll be mine

[mental raft]

Is it okay now?

[mental raft]

Okay

One of the problem is damage field they caused

[leaden wraith]

perfect

[mental raft]

Masked Royal take quite a lot of damage from it

[leaden wraith]

yeah, you have to endure through it

having Rock weakness is bad

[formal gull]

anyway i was planning to use Akari through A7 to A9 but i got a lucky area at A4, she's my only field/strike

[leaden wraith]

i would use her on A4

the points gained are worth it

[formal gull]

hmm guess i could just rely on the techs and sprint for those later areas then

omg finally a decent boost in shop

[simple frost]

what'd you get? o.o

[formal gull]

defense buff boost

i usually go for boost that are crit or stat buff based

[simple frost]

can be... good. depend on your def debuffers forr the areas hrm.

[formal gull]

there's debuff too but i only go for the general debuff instead of specific stat

[simple frost]

crit's better since its universal. Def Power's fine, but only if you can DEF buffs for the areas climb up i suppose.

up to you if you want to go for it.

[formal gull]

yeah if i got it in shop

but i didn't

[formal gull]

A7 field/sprint posion cynthia

already used Rika early on

[twilit chasm]

Luckyyy

[sudden heron]

Starting off with misery huh

[ebon valve]

For anyone who enjoys using the tracker, a role combination filter has been added

[gentle maple]

[stark dawn]

Nice

[hybrid abyss]

I have role bonus for x2, x1.5, x1.5. Is it worth trying everything/buying stuff to be able to beat VH, or should I retreat to H?

[hybrid abyss]

guys pls

[karmic briar]

It depends on how hard is VH but there’s no shame in going for hard tbh

[twilit chasm]

Well spending ~200 pts is fine to beat very hard

[hybrid abyss]

shit. I don't have good upgrades in shop

[twilit chasm]

You need to check the shop every reset

[hybrid abyss]

I did, and the only one that's good is the psychic upgrade

and I don't want to change any apris since I can chain double bonus next round

My only other option would be to change Rika for a Psychic type

[hasty marlin]

ayo? these are huge

im getting 3 sprint/field units this update

https://tenor.com/view/cat-dance-dancing-cat-chinese-dancing-cat-funny-cat-meme-cat-gif-18059553370350307210

think this also means my supp/sprint trio is gonna be completed... strike/fields done too.

first supp/field for me

for an update that im prob skipping banners for, this is hype

i do need to look at one kit to be certain tho, virizions cool but... think i prob might rather save for anni instead

[hybrid abyss]

You don't have either Rika or SSMorty?!?!?! 💀

[hybrid abyss]

Also, is this my only viable strat if I wish to get as many points as possible?

[hasty marlin]

rika was an easy skip and ssmorty i didnt bother chasing cause ssmayziken came home super fast when fire hse was going on.

i will say its a bit gross that its normal zone but like im not going to complain when anabel gives 2.0x on a role i had none for

and for me, SS Ethan Field is the best timeline

[urban ledge]

I mean what other zone would Anabel give

[stark dawn]

reflect or crit shield

also smh don't hate on normal zone

[glass patrol]

Ss Ethan field still sucks

Give it to lyra

All 3 of them

They could all use field

[simple frost]

if they're doing SS Ethan now, that means SS Kris or SS Lyra be next month?

[daring tide]

a2 and already my brain is melting

fairy weak cynthia, role bonus is strike and tech, effects are galar and flying. Fuck

nvm i got it Lmao

[simple frost]

iirc i just run Acuity for those fights where they drop accuracy :x

[stoic citrus]

Debut was Ethan > Lyra > Kris while rerun last year was in reverse order Kris > Lyra > Ethan. So July should be Lyra

[glass patrol]

give her field

give her field

give her field

[stoic citrus]

[urban ledge]

Turns out she’s Strike

[glass patrol]

i will commit murder

[timid hound]

Sike she's Sprint

We could use more tech sprints anyways

[simple frost]

i guess so.

[copper nexus]

I already haev 2 I dpont need more
4

[simple frost]

i only have 1 tech/sprint 😦

i dont have ss wally and the other one.

[copper nexus]

I have elesa and ssmay they work if they got bonuses

[timid hound]

More!

[fluid mountain]

Captains & Kahunas Upgrade
But got one of the best boosts in shop
Also, same starting bonus like past run. Gonna check what is the exact route.

[simple frost]

tech support eh.

[fluid mountain]

Yeah, my only x2 atm is SS Steven, but I'm fine with that

And what a technical route! Maybe my least x2 of the branching routes, but it could be worse

[simple frost]

Tech all the way with opp stat down power? Looks nice xD

[fluid mountain]

Very xD

[crisp token]

I hate this set and of course I get it twice in a row

And it's Hoenn, the worst region

In terms of caked pairs I own

(but also worst region overall)

[leaden wraith]

we will see if Arch is going to snipe you or not

[mental raft]

For players like me who have very low amount of Sprint Field, this seed is very fine as compared to sprint or field dedicated seeds

[crisp token]

But you can't recycle pairs here, the most you can do is carry them over for 1 floor for regular boost, can't double dip on 2x bonuses

Sprint/Field dominated sets look intimidating, but it's actually easier because you can just use the same pair(s) for multiple floors

Also this set doubles up on role bonuses so every floor you have to wonder about using your caked pairs right NOW, or hope for a Lucky Stage on the later floor, which is just extra annoying for optimization

It's not a bad or difficult set by any means but you don't have the opportunity to get very high scores here with minimal caked pairs

You still need to burn 6x Sprint/Fields for the 2 floors here anyway, so it's not particularly kind either

Basically, I wish this set a very die

[twilit chasm]

Or just rolex your own units or pull more lol

[crisp token]

That applies to all sets

[twilit chasm]

Tho that seed is not the worst since you can reuse units in a row of 2 stages

The major issue is a1 and a6 requiring 6 field and sprint smh

[crisp token]

Yeah I mentioned those

It's just a very mid set overall

It's so bland

The only thing it has going for it is aesthetics

But aesthetics does not buy cakes

[twilit chasm]

Feed them cakes

Be a good scottie

[mental raft]

Now this is the closest. I think I can do it. Should I buy another upgrade?

[twilit chasm]

Is that battle facility foe boost

[leaden wraith]

Alola

[leaden wraith]

Lemme look at points calc first

Oh right feel free to go for another boost

[hybrid abyss]

pls help

I legit don't know the point difference between different options/choices.

[leaden wraith]

Just use the pinned chart to calculate by yourself

[hybrid abyss]

wait there's a calculator?

[leaden wraith]

Yes that's called Calculator app, available on both PC and mobile

[prisma gyro]

That's the seed i got this week. With mc boost and lucky area 2 tho

[prisma gyro]

It's just additions and multiplications, bestie

[hybrid abyss]

.. I just used this pinned resource instead
https://i.imgur.com/28moA3k.png

[mental raft]

Okay thankyou!

[prisma gyro]

That's ×3 point bonus, so 900 on VH and 600 on H. If you can spend less than 300 to clear VH then it's worth it. Otherwise, just go to H.

[hybrid abyss]

Thing is, the only realistic option I have for VH would be to buy special damag reduction. 🗿

[crisp token]

There is no shame in doing H

Sometimes that's just how the dice rolls

[hybrid abyss]

it's either I commit to buying it and potentially saving 50 points, or just H

I could also try to get lucky with Glimmora's flinches, but that's about it really

[crisp token]

Don't forget the IRL cost of your time and sanity

[urban ledge]

Sometimes RNG screws you over, it happens

Also that yeah lol

[crisp token]

Is spending hours to get the perfect RNG worth 50 points?

You decide

[urban ledge]

If it’s way too annoying just accept your losses

[hybrid abyss]

aight bet 🏃‍♂️ 💨

[timid hound]

A few hundred points is nothing compared to your sanity

Now pride, on the other hand, is an entirely different issue

[crisp token]

Don't call me out like that man

[timid hound]

Same boat as you're in, friend

[hybrid abyss]

Is Speed Power good?

[simple frost]

depends if you can give your team speed buffs or can do speed buffs by themselves.

[sudden flower]

Will I lost my battle rally pass of this month if I don't use it before 1st of june?

I didn't do this week yet

[simple frost]

Actual Battle Pass, or progress?

[leaden wraith]

As long as you don't have 5 passes in your bag or you don't want to claim this week's rally pass, you don't lose anything

For the rally run's progress, you can't lose it either unless you choose to retire (don't)

[sudden flower]

I claimed this week

But didn't use yet

I won't lost it on next month begining right?

[sudden flower]

Battle pass

[sudden flower]

Ohk

[mental raft]

Well for comparision, last week I got this kind of seed and it resulted into my best score without a lucky area.
On the other hand this week I got Field dominating seed and points declined, but I have to agree I was not expecting 7.7k. I thought I might end up getting 7.2 to 7.3k! Lol.

That's why I loved that seed. Maybe it won't work like that next time but up till now that's my best scoring seed.

[sudden heron]

This store keeps fucking me over week after week

[crisp token]

Fair enough, for me other sets align better to my caked pairs, I can average around 10k per run on those, but this set keeps me around 9k

[prisma gyro]

Is giratina haunting your device?

[simple frost]

prolly some memory issue.

[crisp token]

He lives in the Darkrai dimension

[gloomy wedge]

So many sprints

Lucky area clutching up hard on lvl 2

[outer jasper]

Love unconventional teams

[fluid mountain]

Oh come on! Palmer again

[leaden wraith]

Overwhelm him with upgrade boosts

[fluid mountain]

I did it!

All areas done on VH. The Opp. Stat Down Power Up in shop on start was crucial, and never thought I used Hapu for one of the two only stats that Palmer didn't boost: accuracy. Archie, with x2 bonus, wasn't enough for Palmer, so instead used NC Hop

Items used:

• 1 Captains & Kahunas Upgrade (start)
• 3 Opp. Stat Down Power Up (150)
• 1 Double Countdown Gelato (100, for A10 VH)

Could I waited for NC Cheren for A10. He has Discombobulate in grid and have tech + strike. Oh well, too impatient

[prisma gyro]

Tailor-made for nc rosa and ssac

[kindred seal]

Dang, area 2 and I'm already feeling stuck. Tech/Support on this Barry battle that asks for physical and Normal Zone. Also needs WTZ. Also need Sinnoh. Not sure how expensive to go for it this early on

[leaden wraith]

Does the combo repeat later?

You just need WTZ at minimum

[kindred seal]

Yeah, I got the one that begins with Strike/Support. So it's offset just enough to not allow much reuse

[simple frost]

Is this Palmer's BC or something? o_o

[kindred seal]

Probably because who else sets Normal Zone

[simple frost]

hrm, tech/support in A09.

ah right. Argenta was around for that BC.

[leaden wraith]

You just have to bring a WTZ user

And save the double bonuses for the later round

[kindred seal]

I'm definitely not winning the battle before expending both of the terrain or whichever I choose

[simple frost]

what team are you trying with?

[kindred seal]

Fire is a no-go. The units I see that benefit from it are either special or water-weak

I'm trying water right now but it's tricky because again, opponent sync is water

[leaden wraith]

It would be more helpful if you show me your unused Tech and Support roster

Your boost is Sinnoh, correct?

[kindred seal]

Yeah

This is area 2 so I just started. I could go way overkill here, but then not have them for when this repeats later in the rally

[leaden wraith]

Like i advised earlier, save double bonus pairs for later rounds

No need to care much about overkilling for now

[kindred seal]

So just throw my SST Red and call it? It's proving really difficult to win otherwise

Because I also need accuracy buffs on top of that and that really limits my options

[leaden wraith]

he is much more useful on Field stages

please, just show your pairs here

[simple frost]

if that's a problem, i'd run Acuity to your damage dealers. Unless you dont have a lot of cookies 😦

also, is this your seed?

[kindred seal]

Oh I meant Strike/Tech was area 1

[leaden wraith]

Just bring an accuracy support

[kindred seal]

I have all this plus Lodge Rika

[leaden wraith]

you got A2-b seed right?

please provide exact info for helpers when you need help, non accurate info will mislead us

[kindred seal]

Sorry, I messed up the first one so it made it impossible to find the right set

[leaden wraith]

using Battle Rally feature on pomatools site, is your A10 Sprint/Strike?

[kindred seal]

Yes

The pattern is the columns are the same except they're offset by 1

[leaden wraith]

you can safely bring Courtney + Lillie + Lodge Cynthia

wait Lodge Cynthia already buffs acc, so no need for Lillie

the 3rd slot if flexible, you can bring a speedy tech to carry gauge once MGA runs out

[kindred seal]

Seems like a good idea. Not like I could use Courtney for the last area

Boom, that's a win! I'll take it

[timid hound]

Excellent

[austere cipher]

Time to debut nc cheren n sprint redlax tom.

[timid hound]

Wait redlax already got rolex?

[leaden wraith]

not until mid June

[timid hound]

[twilit chasm]

Managed to beat malva without boost

[timid hound]

What's your boost

[twilit chasm]

Dragon

[timid hound]

You sure drag-on'd Malva

it was funnier in my head

[simple frost]

which area? 😮

[twilit chasm]

luckily quite earlier a4

tho i have field/sprint at a6 with flint ☠️

[simple frost]

there are times when i have to hit A09 or A08 boostless 😭

[timid hound]

Yikes

Do you buy one time items then or what

Sounds like a nightmare ngl

[simple frost]

i did.

Ultra Jelly for the nice.

MPizza also. Especially that SC Steven stage 😭

Guardchoclat too

[timid hound]

There really are some OP consumables

And then you have garbage like quick cookies

[austere cipher]

I'm zooming

[formal gull]

Rally exchange refresh next reset yeah?

[oblique breach]

A1-b' for me

2 sprints to end my run

[twilit chasm]

This comp is impossible right dragon boost btw

Nvm who even needs debuff when geeta exists

[daring tide]

uaaaagh
tips for this guy? a8
(item bonuses are for galar and flying, been using solgaleo and hop so far, tried out both jasmine and colress with them)

should i add another galar unit or a flying unit to strengthen? or is hop enough

[leaden wraith]

You should, especially if that Flying type is helpful to debuff their stats

This is a hard stage unfortunately

[daring tide]

gotcha

i just went down a stage, that was too annoying to deal w lol

[leaden wraith]

it's okay as long as you are fine with it

[kindred seal]

Ugh, these gimmick battles. It's the Oleana battle. Area 5 with Sprint/Strike. Her 3-bar moves basically one-shot every time.

[simple frost]

upgrade(s)?

[leaden wraith]

this stages demands terrain change which is done by Lana, and status condition, i assume Sprint Strike combo reappear in late rounds?

might have to use Rei here if your theme upgrades allow him

plus he is Sinnohan

uh oh this stage has Sentry Entry x2 so you should bring a special dmg dealer

can you show me all Strike and Sprint pairs you have? including EXR

[ebon valve]

A first for me. Area 9 save

[simple frost]

Stacked Tech Support for 2.4k points o/

[kindred seal]

These late game battles are such a hassle, requiring their unicorn units to handle all the gimmicks

[leaden wraith]

SS Piers works really well here, in fact this was designed for him

you also want to bring a spdef debuffer

[kindred seal]

Ah I see

[simple frost]

Mix Red's also a selection (-2 SP.DEF aoe per bmove), unless you've got Field/Strike up there.

[kindred seal]

Hmm but yeah SS Piers handles it quite well. I did a search for Poison and he didn't come up so I forgot

Crazy how these Poison type units are so bad at actually causing Poison

[leaden wraith]

tbf Looker is not a good pair in general

[kindred seal]

Neither is Plumeria lol, but I trust Looker more

[leaden wraith]

Plumeria is much more better at utility side

[kindred seal]

Yeah gg. I gotta EX Petrel soon. Feels wrong to use non-EXd units and he's strong

[leaden wraith]

she is a great gauge battery and has 60% flinch rate

[kindred seal]

I don't believe how people use her for flinch. With the woefully inaccurate and bad Smog move?

[leaden wraith]

eh she doesn't care about dmg when flinch

she has tools to fix the accuracy

[kindred seal]

Spend your whole grid to fix gen 1 jank?

I've never used it so I don't know

[leaden wraith]

the only thing i want to say is don't sleep on her

[kindred seal]

If and when Sludge Wave poisons, then her AOE damage is pretty nice. I still rely on her for some CS comps

[ebon valve]

many event stages can be cheesed with flinch / sleep. I got through a tough Area 8 with 2 lucky flinches

[leaden wraith]

with HE1 gridded her Smog has 80% chance to poison a target, it's pretty good

she is great for cheesing strike stages

[kindred seal]

80% poison chance? Wow, I should have this preset saved

[eternal nebula]

I heard mix red or blue is good for battle rally

And that champion leaf moltress good for stage 10 (if it’s tech support)

[eternal nebula]

What I want to know is how are they good?

[eternal nebula]

And what is a good damage dealer to pair up with her?

[leaden wraith]

they are good picks yes, but you should only use them on areas whose roles are field/strike (if they are caked)

[leaden wraith]

depending on the boss you are gonna face, as well as pairs you have

[eternal nebula]

Gotcha

[twilit chasm]

From my experience with mix red, he can buff defensive stats, heal, tank (esp when you have no support bonus), good dps and great nuke and you dont have to use TM to raise his offensive stats, and he can debuff every stats while also apply poison. He can counter several bosses and benefit a lot of upgrade from shop with those many gimmicks. He really looks like a p2w unit, even when hes unneeded

Blue is like mix red but more offensive without heal

[kindred seal]

Hey, I also got an area 9 lucky. But for the most cursed role pair

[leaden wraith]

better than nothing

[kindred seal]

Would have been nice though. I'm playing more for points this time around and really thought I would hit it bigger... Oh well

[austere cipher]

reset time boys

[kindred seal]

No! I can't go for max points on any of these? Which battle is more manageable with these limits?

[leaden wraith]

how many Sinnoh boosts do you have?

and does the shop have something good?

[kindred seal]

Shop has the same two boosts I already have and grass, rain boost

[leaden wraith]

how about one time use items

items like half cake or guard chocolat are very good

[kindred seal]

I've never actually used these limited items

I just know you need permanent Poison immunity to win the Lucy battle. I don't think I've ever done the other two

[simple frost]

hrm, that Sp.ATK Boost.

Ultra Jelly is also solid too.

[leaden wraith]

go for Ultra Jelly then

Sp.Atk boost is useless tho

[kindred seal]

Does that let me brute force any of these?

[leaden wraith]

no, it gives your more chance to win

[simple frost]

the ultra jelly is basically +300% stat boost.

on top of the Sinnoh Theme boost

All you really need to know is Poison immunity + need to Debuff their Speed.

[severe bronze]

@west abyss youll definitely love to see this

not a bad week despite no lucky stage

[west abyss]

about time

[kindred seal]

I couldn't overcome the poison. I went with the Entei instead

[muted sparrow]

Cant wait tomorrow to finally give cake to the queen

[mental raft]

Why did you choose Barry?
Rei is already a Sinnoh with role bonus!

I mean there could be support there instead (with Strike or Sprint ExR) ?

[simple frost]

Wat. All u needed was antitoxin on you units... Oh wells

[twilit chasm]

Why didnt you just use cookies yellow cookies are generally useless and only needed for antitoxin

[oak jolt]

Finally got a lucky stage

Got pretty lucky because I had no boost for that teamcomp

[timid hound]

You cooked

[oak jolt]

The seed was pretty good, but the starting boost was quite bad (trial giver)

Luckily I found Alola In the shop so I partially upgraded it

A10 was Thorton so it wasn't a problem since I had NC leaf and SS acerola still available

[timid hound]

TG is one of the worst boosts like why is it even in the mode

They should not make it a start boost imo

It's incredibly restrictive

[leaden wraith]

yeah should have made Ponytails boost instead

[muted sparrow]

Cant wait for Paldea boost …….

[timid hound]

Gakon cooking

Grown Woman theme boost when

[timid hound]

PF MF check

[simple frost]

oh god no.

[stark dawn]

probably around when we're getting our first paldean spotlights

[leaden wraith]

which is in 2028

[oak jolt]

There are worse boosts I think, the problem is that trial giver is strictly worse alola, the only good thing is that if you find Alola in the shop it overlaps and you can always get both boosts as long as you put a trial giver in the team, or get only the Alola part if you can slot an Alolan unit that isn't trial giver

[kindred seal]

I didn't feel like putting on a one-off skill just for this battle

[simple frost]

not entirely, you can have 3 lucky skill slots in your Sync Pair.

[kindred seal]

To heal status and stat drop chance, which I thought would help

[crisp token]

You can swap freely, especially if you encounter her again next time

[simple frost]

Most of my UB killers have Antitoxin and MAYBE Acuity.

with CS2 as their 3rd slot for DD, Vigilance for tankers.

so you can change your roster.

i mean, i get it that you cleared Anabel, but you could've been able to clear that VH Lucy.

points too.

[kindred seal]

Probably. I've just still been reluctant to carry skills like those. Even if you can swap them

[crisp token]

You'll meet her again soon enough

And will continue to do so

[simple frost]

Yeah, having them setup alreaady just means when they come up, you can switch LS. its easy and fast.

[leaden wraith]

Or just give Antitoxin to pairs you are going to use against her because who knows if you gonna use the same team or pairs when she shows up again instead of wasting of your time and cookies

[timid hound]

That's a fair assessment, although it then sort of begs the question why we have this theme boost in the first place

Like, a theme that is just a smaller subset of an already existing theme

[kindred seal]

I guess I'll really have to consider this next time...

[kindred seal]

This is already the biggest problem with Rally in general. So many units I can't use because I might need them for the final area. Like, Rei will never be used outside of area 10, that's almost guaranteed.

I have the lucky cookies to do it, so that's no problem. I'll have to remember to switch them out afterwards though as more units get the skill.

[leaden wraith]

Unless a10 doesnt have Sprint and Strike, right?

Rei is awesome, but he only has great matchup against Palmer

Saving NC Silver makes more sense, and you should prioritize maxing out double bonuses on A1 - A9

[kindred seal]

Right, I did just EXR 5 units yesterday so I could use them throughout.

[leaden wraith]

More EXR mean more points overall, to the point where you don't need to min max harshly

[kindred seal]

Yeah, it definitely gets easier each time

But my concern is still saving those good units for the end which I'll regret not having

[elfin tendon]

Good week!

[crisp token]

Ultimately it's not the end battle that matters, the points you get for beating Floor 1 and the points you get for beating Floor 10 are exactly the same

For example, using up 6 matching bonus pairs on the first 2 floors will net you more points than hoarding them and only end up using 3 of them on the last floor

Of course if you know there will be another floor with the same bonus roles, saving them can be good

But in general it's better to prioritise just matching the role bonuses even if it means you may need to use up your more powerful pairs early, which you can make up for by buying items or doing Hard instead if you encounter a particularly difficult floor

You will still end up ahead in terms of points gained

Especially since later floors demand more stats, meaning you may not even to able to take advantage of the role bonuses by slapping your caked pairs together because they won't have synergy/counter for the stage gimmicks

You can get away with doing that on earlier floors

Like triple Strike/Sprint is easy to win with early on, but unlikely to succeed on later floors, given that there's no tank (atm)

TLDR: no points difference between floors, prioritize matching bonus roles, doing Hard is a valid option for problematic floors

[timid hound]

Sink role bonus pairs early than later for more flexible team building although this requires a modicum of your judgment

To give an example from my run this week: I had 2 strike tech floors

Decided to save NCRed for the later floor

When I got to the later floor, it was one where every pair had wise entry x2 but I forced myself to run ncred anyways

Had I used him earlier I would’ve had a smoother time

Naturally every situation is different but it is a good rule of thumb to sink them earlier than later for more flexible options when team building down the road

[ionic sigil]

You also have to consider Lucky Stages but yeah

There’s a chance you use up your units and get a Lucky Stage after you used them earlier

[proven matrix]

You've gotta be kidding

right after I accidentally let NC Serena die last stage

battle facility upgrade

already wasted 200 points I refuse to waste any more

[simple frost]

Rough .-.

Palmer sheningans unless uve got ultra jelly i suppose

[proven matrix]

No jelly

Just sundae

[simple frost]

No nc leaf for debuffing?

Or sst red?

[proven matrix]

Nope

[proven matrix]

Used

[simple frost]

Palmer it is. .-.

[half bone]

Hey, question, is fire better than Elite 4 for boost?

[leaden wraith]

yes

[half bone]

Alright, it's the only option I have that gives me bonus in sprint/field (Thank you SS Morty), compared to E4, so I was considering it to begin with, just wanted confirmation.

Or would I be better off holding for now?

[normal python]

Well damn

[leaden wraith]

i would go for Fire and wait for better boosts if possible

MC, Champion or Kanto for example

[normal python]

My only 2x unit is Rei

[half bone]

Starter boost, for reference, is E4

[timid hound]

Time to throw Rei and 2 strike eggmons then

[normal python]

Fucking hell, Anabel

With strike/field

The only field unit who doesn't set up sun is V. Gio right?

[simple frost]

Archie could work if you have him. + a strike/field that can stat debuff, like Mix Red. depends on your roster + upgrades though. Whose your Hard fight?

[normal python]

Also Anabel

No, it's Argenta

[glass patrol]

Geeta

Akari

Victor

[normal python]

Realizing it, the reason why I mentioned V. Gio is because of his B Move, but there's no field unit that actually replaces Anabel's weather

[glass patrol]

True

[half bone]

So grab a single boost then?

Just for now, I mean.

[normal python]

I might buy 1 more MC upgrade

[leaden wraith]

Up to you i already give enough hint

[half bone]

Well, I also got crit boost too so...

[proven matrix]

9250

[timid hound]

Nice score

[normal python]

Jesus, I actually hate this

9300 points with lucky area, I hate my life so much

Should've been over 10k pts.

[simple frost]

filtered by Anabel 😭

[twilit chasm]

I mean if it’s accident you can just reset?

[half bone]

Okay, thank god, it's a different lineup for once.

[twilit chasm]

But u sure it’s not anabel again?

[half bone]

Anabel is...?

just to refresh my memory.

[leaden wraith]

Entei where you have to aggressively debuff and change weather

The A10 roles are not ideal for weather changers tho, unless you got V Giovanni

[half bone]

I do have Silver, if needed.

As in, NC Silver.

[leaden wraith]

That's pretty good

[half bone]

though that might not be much.

[leaden wraith]

He has good matchup against most UBs

[twilit chasm]

Anabel sets sun, that’s why you need weather change, so silver is useless, but nc silver is good

[half bone]

NC Silver would be what I'm using.

I... did clarify on that. XD

[rustic token]

do the regional/role stat boosts in rally stack

like will i get more stat boost if i use 2 mc skills

[leaden wraith]

upgrades with the same name stack

yes, you will get 200% stat boost total

[rustic token]

epic

thanks

[crisp token]

buying the same boost stacks it

but if you meant if you bring more than 1 matching character, no it will not double/triple it

[plush anchor]

This month we have 4 mondays, so you need to earn more than what we were earning weekly last 2 months

To get the same amount of rewards

[simple frost]

Gotta hit 9k each week huh

[timid hound]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-homer-simpson-life-hard-life-frustrated-gif-7345706

[stiff flume]

11.3k avr if you want the 100 x (100) feathers
I'm already discouraged

[simple frost]

Ooof feather farming ;-;

[stiff flume]

I really want the 2* blue ones
But the gap between 9k to 11k avr is insane and probably require sprintfield units

[timid hound]

You definitely need seed luck for 11k

2x Sprintfield stages will be enders

[stiff flume]

[mental raft]

First time seeing someone is aiming for feathers

[timid hound]

LG enjoyers

[leaden wraith]

So true

[mental raft]

But yeah I figured out that probably I won't be able to get all the 5* Power Ups with average 7.8k

[plush anchor]

If lucky stages were more common, this wouldn't be a big deal

But yeah fun times

[timid hound]

Lucky Stages is like the move Scald — 70% for everyone else, 0.7% for you

[stiff flume]

Ye but, I'm just building a strong gear sets
27% move dmg reduction has some uses

Even in HS n UBs

[timid hound]

I pray you achieve what you set out to do

[leaden wraith]

2* feathers are crazy. It takes me 1 day to build the perfect gear set for NC Red instead of months

[gentle maple]

that's why I dropped getting the PUs

[karmic briar]

Reject embrace 🪶

[timid hound]

Wtf feather propaganda

[karmic briar]

Cake vouchers
Orbs
Feathers

[crisp token]

Dropping is unthinkable

[gentle maple]

5* vouchers help to cover PU

[gentle maple]

I should do one too

He needs a sync gear

[gentle maple]

I'm here to spread it, look at that pin

[leaden wraith]

Now do the same for bandana and bracelet

[gentle maple]

Nah I'm doing one for NC red now

Probably getting the pink feathers

Going for a mc theme

[leaden wraith]

I haven't built any gear set for a specific pair or comp besides Emma and NC Red i should invest more in my faves

[gentle maple]

I have other similar gears

[half bone]

I can either go into 10 with one of these groups (fire or Elite Four), want to pick now so I can get the right boost to 3. Which should I go with?

It's strike/field and... well, I already used SS Morty and plan to use NC Blue (for tanking) and most likely NC Silver (as the main offense).

[mental raft]

Flint will give 4x combined

[stiff flume]

No, dropping was never my intent
That's why I said above 9k
I think if I cake few units I can grant 10k avr but reaching 11.3k is too much

[stiff flume]

Which stage?

[half bone]

...oh screw off, this stage.

This is my VH stage.

I mean, at the very least, I can get out NC Red to stack with NC Blue but...

...Wait, no, I can't.

I need NC Silver.

[stiff flume]

You said you have NC Blue you should use that, if candied

[half bone]

Jesus christ, having to use Morty earlier screwed me.

[half bone]

Yes, I do.

He's at 1/5 right now.

I've got 4 support candies and 5 generic 5* candies.

[leaden wraith]

it's a very worthwhile investment

i think NC Blue, NC Silver and Flint can clear her, unless Flint's weakness is Water

[stiff flume]

Yeah, ncBlue is such a key unit for A10

[half bone]

It's water.

[stiff flume]

You named, best unit

[leaden wraith]

hey he activate both boosts

[half bone]

I've got K9 Blue too.

Options are Flint, K9 Blue, SS REd, Silver, and Ethan.

[leaden wraith]

SS Red then

[stiff flume]

Btw I think you can make it with this team

If you got x2 Fire x2 E4, 400% boost you shpuld either clear fast or survive long enough

[half bone]

...Jesus christ, this is hillarious.

I just noticed this was a thing.

[stiff flume]

Don't need to, he max speed and has free moves

[half bone]

Oh, thought it was move points.

derp.

Misread and thought it was saying it refreshed the move points by 1 every time.

[stiff flume]

Oh

Would be insane considering his bmove

[half bone]

Yeah. Infinite heals.

[stiff flume]

Remember to keep rebuff for half bar

So you have to sync with Flint early on

[half bone]

So save Blue's Sync move for half bar then.

[half bone]

I'm guessing I would be saving Silver's sync move for countering rain?

[stiff flume]

Yup

Both ncSilver n ncBlue, sound kinda pain but depend on how strong that +400% bonus is going to hit

[half bone]

Okay, it did well.

Flint even lived until the end.

...and double strike field. On dark boost. Ouch.

[simple frost]

Just check shop each area

[oblique breach]

So, uh, area 10 how

[leaden wraith]

Who are VH and H boss?

As well as your theme boosts

[oblique breach]

Respectively, Anabel and Thornton

2x Villain; 2x MC

[leaden wraith]

Anabel is a no no then

[muted sparrow]

Just do H then

I think SS Morty/SS May/Lys should be good ?

[leaden wraith]

Yes

[oblique breach]

I will do H as always

[sudden heron]

My weekly sunday post on this fucking game mode screwing me over

Now how tf do i do any of them with the shitty boosts

[normal python]

Even when you have literally one of the easiest UBs?

[sudden heron]

Have you seen the units i have to use?

And no i have no other x2 boost than those

And the only other dragon unit i can use there is ss brendan

Which would mean a lot of missing damage

[ionic sigil]

I feel like the current team with Antitoxin Lucky Skills might even be able to beat it

[sudden heron]

It didn't had to use 200 more points for it

[sharp haven]

NC Rosa sweeps

[glass patrol]

i have too many strike techs

i have 3 of them

[austere cipher]

Binchillin

[quiet tiger]

Didn't pull 3/5 Mix Blue rip those juicy medals.

[simple frost]

A09 xD?

[hasty marlin]

B1 map is gonna be weird…

[worthy tusk]

Why is this not working?

[leaden wraith]

What are your theme upgrades?

[worthy tusk]

Main character and gym leader

Type is sprint support

[leaden wraith]

How many MC theme do you have

[timid hound]

MC

[worthy tusk]

4

[timid hound]

FOUR

You'll be fine

Now then

Hm

[leaden wraith]

Yeah should work pretty smooth

[timid hound]

What exactly isn't working?

Did Darach nuke you or drag it on or what seems to be the bottleneck?

[leaden wraith]

Maybe change Ingo frim second tactic to first targeted?

Rosa is weak to Flying in her Fighting form

[timid hound]

NCSilver and Ingo should definitely switch

Yeah true just make Ingo target 1

[leaden wraith]

Oh yeah that too

[timid hound]

Could be running out of SS?

Could Darach be outhealing?

[leaden wraith]

There are 4 uses of extensed sandstorm, should be fine

[timid hound]

Yeah

[leaden wraith]

I think the problem mostly comes from NC Rosa tanking

Then Darach targetted Silver

[timid hound]

That should be an easy fix then

[stiff flume]

With so many bany boost you shoud erase Darach
Rosa 1/5 need stacking

[timid hound]

Switch the tactics to Ingo → NCRosa and then NCSilver and try again

Hopefully it'll be smoother this time around

Rosa is not that flimsy anyway

Should be very fast kill either way with super effective 5 boost

[timid hound]

Unfortunate timings are unfortunate

Queue a 2 sync boosted Brave Bird into Pirouette Forme and she'll be dancing with the stars in no time

In any case it's a hedge against situations like that which can be easily avoided

[worthy tusk]

He heals

He won't go below 40%

[timid hound]

Yeah it's the gradual healing

Which means it's a DMG issue?

[worthy tusk]

Yeah

[timid hound]

How much is Stone Edge hitting for?

~30k?

Higher or lower?

[worthy tusk]

Uh let me check....I have no clue

I just focus on my buttons not what the damage numbers are.

[timid hound]

DMG issue is concerning though, 4x MC boost is no joke

You synced with NCRosa and Ingo too yes?

Support sync

[leaden wraith]

i would sync with Rosa first, then Silver, then Ingo

afterwards keep syncing with Silver

[timid hound]

+1

Maintain Sandstorm at all times

[leaden wraith]

the first sand fades before the second sync, and Darach might be able to sneak 1 or 2 boosted attacks so be careful

[timid hound]

The animation length in that team is hell

No thanks to B Relic Song

[leaden wraith]

screw you Rosa

[worthy tusk]

20k

I'll probably say screw it and just do easy and get no points. I don't need any anyways since I already have the coin for the month....

[leaden wraith]

well if you insist

just to make sure, does Silver still have his TM available?

[timid hound]

20k is really yikes

Darach is outhealing you

[leaden wraith]

tbh it sounds wrong

[timid hound]

Yeah how is he only dealing 20k a pop

Something isn't adding up

Do you have them all gridded?

[worthy tusk]

Yeah....

As best as they'll get at 1/5

[timid hound]

Lucky Skill?

[worthy tusk]

Yeah

[timid hound]

What is your NCSilver Lucky Skill?

Should be either CS2 or WW3

[worthy tusk]

The event cookie skill

[timid hound]

I forgot what it is

What is it?

[leaden wraith]

it's +1 crit under sand

it's bad

[glass patrol]

My ncleaf does 40k against thorton with

Wait did I have one or zero boost

But anyway 20k with 4 boost is way too low

Like impossible low

[leaden wraith]

we already know one of the reasons is the lack of CS2/WW3

[timid hound]

That LS is awful

[glass patrol]

That’s still way too much

Only 30%

[timid hound]

Do try to get WW3 if possible, it's very good for NCSilver

[worthy tusk]

Okay I'll swap that then

[timid hound]

Perfect

[worthy tusk]

I can get cs2

[glass patrol]

It’s soften up and that’s about it

[timid hound]

The opportunity cost is way too high

I mean if you're new then hey free LS but if you have the means WW3 >>>

[worthy tusk]

Yeah I'm far from new I have too many supplies 🤣

[timid hound]

Time to eat some cookies

[worthy tusk]

Hence all master fairs except Steven

I managed to get cs2

I don't have many cookies with weather warrior since I never really do gauntlet

[timid hound]

CS2 is fine

Try again and see if you fare any better

[worthy tusk]

And sync rosa first then silver?

And then ingo third?

[timid hound]

Follow Gakon's order

Rosa Silver Ingo Silver ad infinitum

Does NCRosa have Rolex?

Sprint would make it in time for 2nd sync to be under SS maybe

[wary kayak]

Got blessed with some good multis (Kanto and Any Stat Down). Think I should use both Neo Rosa and Aura Cynthia on Support+Sprint, or would I be best served waiting to see who's at Round 10?

Neo Leaf can double up on round 10 while also being Kanto and a stat-reducer. Plus she's handy on several of the possible fights.

[timid hound]

I'd sink them both in A3

There's a case to be made for NCRosa with how flexible she is but I think NCLeaf will hard carry in all aspects except tanking, so just throw another tank there

[wary kayak]

Indeed, I was leaning that way myself... A10 is no more valuable than any other, and the +300pts here might well be worth more than whatever sacrifices I might need at A10

Feeling better about it now that I've heard it from someone else. Thanks.

[timid hound]

10k or bust

[wary kayak]

I'm not that obsessed, I'm just trying to afford a little extra luxury so I can splurge on good items and still get a good-enough haul
