3/5 summer gloria? 😮
timid hound
Fun fact
I've gotten every Gloria from daily
Gloria — debut paid
SGloria — super summer scout daily
BTGloria — mix daily
No DGloria yet but soon trust
I think those are all the Glorias until the eventual release of NCGloria
ebon valve
only Summer Gloria is 1/5, we need a proper Intelleon

I got flying boost. Sounds rough
twilit chasm
Ngl thorton is harder than i expected 
took hours to beat him but still had no sign to win

He wants a status change to be exact, but he cleanses himself from interference whenever he makes an action

But it is one of the best one bc how many combo it has <a:Rolllllll:106524287328...
Yeah it's not the worse but I usually aim to have 3 of each combinations

And for sprint strike got only 2

Yeah, that's the good part
SsMorty A9 -10

Palmer jumpscare
mental raft
Idk why but I always found Palmer the easiest
Maybe everytime Rei was their to save me! 
simple frost
Yeah palmer's easy, mostly cuz i buy Damage Power ups a lot .-.;
mental raft
Maybe everytime Rei was their to save me! <:Rei:1243955095918608505>
But all others are just too tough for me!
They need whether, debuffs and what not! 
timid hound
Palmer is the worst imo because it's not a unit check
It's a purchase check
If you made it through A1-9 with 1 boost and meet VH Palmer, you can have 5/5 NCHop 5/5 NCBianca and you probably still can't clear
simple frost
one of these days, i'll drag an eggmon into one of them A010 battles, outside of Thorton kuku.
timid hound
Whereas the others require stuff you can access with a box (i.e., Anabel Weather, Lucy Antitoxin/Speed down, etc)
leaden wraith
timid hound
If you encounter VH Palmer with little to no purchased items, your options are either Apple Cup or downgrade (or do some mumbo jumbo quintuple queue shit)
simple frost
https://youtu.be/g37afgmHsUo oh right @timid hound full support against A010 VH Lucy xD
mental raft
If you made it through A1-9 with 1 boost and meet VH Palmer, you can have 5/5 NC...
Idk that NC Hop can't clear Palmer! 
I think Rei is designed to beat Palmer! I am lucky I have him from half anni free tickets!
simple frost
you got Rei from there? 😮 cool.
timid hound
https://youtu.be/g37afgmHsUo oh right <@630909379113254922> full support against...
Good stuff
Lucy is fairly straight forward

Lucy just one of the easiest UB
Now look at those new UB, imagine Dena adds those in Rally

nightmare fuel.
i think Nita and Leon are easy enough with power upgrades and enough bulk.

but Noland for Rally, its either you get Guard CHocolat or Apple Cup.

Both Nita and Leon will have the same level as Anabel
mental raft
Imo toughness wise In Rally
Argenta > Anabel > Darach > Lucy > Palmer
I have never battles Thorton iirc!
simple frost
you haven't gotten thorton yet in Rally? 😮
mental raft
I’m suprise that Argenta is higher than Anabel
Maybe iIt's because I got Argenta more often than Anabel
leaden wraith
Argenta is pretty lame compared to Anabel tbh
just shut rain down and she hits like wet noodles
muted sparrow
Tbf she one of the rare UB that can be poison stall
mental raft
I remember using Blaine in most of my A10 battle and second is Bertha
mental raft
just shut rain down and she hits like wet noodles
I did her once with Apple Cup with Winona!
But I don't remember more than once doing her!
Argenta loves me the most! 
leaden wraith
she recently keeps haunting me too

Now look at those new UB, imagine Dena adds those in Rally
I'd just Hard

Wait I just checked I have did Thorton once too! I am too forgetful!
But I don't know where to rank him!
He was very tough. Maybe Between Darach and Lucy!
I think fighting someone once is not enough to rank them!

As long as they'll code that Hard and VH can't be the same I'm fine

whose your fight?
iss that a Half Choco?
how close were you against Thorton? like did the sides die already?
twilit chasm
The sides die. But the bird is just at 50% hp. It nukes hard. Rika heal sucks but i have no better support than her (more like i have no better e4 than her for the boost) 
It’s guard choco

Welcome to my world, except I have ghost upgrade
leaden wraith

Try Rika NC Blue Geeta
Your boost is Elite Four right
Hmmm SS Hilda works better but you lose double bonus
twilit chasm
Try Rika NC Blue Geeta
Dont you need a special dmg dealer for the first half tho
leaden wraith
with Guard Chocolat you can safely do it
you said you tried GC with Zerena right? unless i'm mistaken

Oh my God! 
It's Palmer! Wooohoooo

And Argenta too was waiting there for me if somehow I am not doing Very Hard!
mental raft
Palmer must really like you
It's Argenta
Palmer is the one who keeps avoiding me most of the time!
I am lucky last week and this week that I got him with Sinnoh Upgrade!
simple frost
2x Sinnoh Upgrades, and no damage upgrades? D;
mental raft
I need more boost!
Ultra Jelly or another Sinnoh Upgrade? 
mental raft
I tried but Palmer only reached 48% before his deadly Max move!
simple frost
yeah ultra jelly gaming then
mental raft
then ultra jelly for win
Red is like 150 points extra here, (he is not supposed to be alive till now, he survived both Dragon Zone Lucas and Glacia's Blizzards) so I think I can do that!
mental raft
huh ultra jelly
Thankyou! 
simple frost
btw
Ultra Jelly over 1 Theme Boost. Its basically haaving 3 Theme Boosts for the price of 100 points
mental raft
Wow!
So I battled Palmer with like 5x Boost! That's equivalent to Apple Cup!
Ultra Jelly so amazing!
slow dirge
I fracking hate this mode sometimes
I can't chop through the first fething stage
Ok that was awful
Oh gods it gets worse
The game hates me today it seems.
No other explanation
It just hates me
And then it throws me fething champion rather than a useful boost
Champion is barely better than Bug for me
rapid notch
mental raft
Much more than expected!
Every week I find a new seed, but my score is either remains nearly same or increases a bit
Nice!
slow dirge
8250
For an eight-sprint, it'll have to do
Also had to drop to Hard for the final one bc fecking Argenta is a nightmare
Whereas with a guard choc, I can just throw Paulo/SSAC/SS Dawn at Darach and win
twilit chasm
Stupid thorton, i bought guard choco so geeta + mix red can tank to beat it 
The field-focus seed isnt good to reach 10k either
lost cliff
new record pretty sure
sucks that i got anabel a10 for support + field when my only one w that combo is ss morty
so i did hard lucy instead lol

Also we don’t have any field to setup rain or sand properly to counter Anabel

it was tech/field but i only got sst red and ss cyrus for that 
no triple bonus
still came out of it with 11.7k tho so i cant truly complain
static arch
I took down ground weak area 10 with red pikachu tanking, was tech/field and used Nate haxorus and reshiram with him (bonuses for unova, enemy paralyze, and enemy special defense down)
Crazy that I actually was given the ideal opponent for my tech/field bonuses for redchu
10,600 is my all time best

Also we don’t have any field to setup rain or sand properly to counter Anabel
ss kris exr next month 
hexed crane
My boy ingo is due for his field ex role too
hexed crane
I don’t hate the extra tiles. Hit and heal is still a great tile. He desperately wanted sand alert
heavy fjord
problem with hit and heal is that the gradual healing does kinda eat into his sandstorm duration
karmic briar
Ingo’s issue is that he’s likely to get ground zone
wary kayak
Sandstorm isn't a ground move, Ingo would definitely get Ground Zone if he got Field
heavy fjord
thats just how the field role works, if it is what he gets (likely), he'll have ground zone on sync
prisma gyro
Field sync sets up the wtz that powers up the type, no? So ground type sets up ground zone
verbal verge
I think weather pairs will keep their weather focus
I agree with this^ but I guess we'll see
lost cliff
we can sure 
for it, but ground zone is more likely just since so far the wtz have matched the sync move type
karmic briar
Well, variety Giovanni has ground zone 
lost cliff
yeah and sand would've thematically made more sense for him since he sets it w b move
heavy fjord
yeah it just does the WTZ effect that boosts the damage of the sync move
lost cliff
inb4 ingo gets strike to match emmet's support
timid hound
Ingo with Strike Rolex sounds awful 
simple frost
that works too xD
timid hound
No
simple frost
he'd probably get his EXR + 5/5 aand a rerun
timid hound
They should just give him Dust Kicker
simple frost
extension of Sand wwould be awesome
but hey... iff ever, IF EVER EVER EVER.... they give him Ground Zone on Sandstorm as a 3/5 PB Tile or 5/5 PB Tile.... dayum

ah. guess its just the EXR + PB tiles kuku
timid hound
Oh
Revenge Boost 9 as 5/5 is underwhelming
But not as underwhelming as Turbo Turf 2 as a passive on a Pokéfair
leaden wraith
Celebi's Turbo Turf belike
timid hound
Hassling Hit 9 more than makes up for it
mild notch
timid hound
Is it one of those where 8/10 areas have 1 common role and the remaining 2 are sprintfield?
fresh holly
yeah it was strike/support -> strike/sprint -> strike/support
so bianca / rei carried over and I needed a steel type for the bonus
Very lucky
timid hound
Good work
leaden wraith
i would forfeit a Support/Sprint and bring a dmg dealer with Support EXR
unless your boosts allow you to run all supports
crisp token
Doubtful
I'm likely gonna have to cut one off

The only fight that's possible with all 3 is uhhh Darach
I don't even know if Lucy is possible with 3

I did fight lucy with 3 supports o.o
900 pts clear this week.
Just 2 theme boosts and 2 to 3 power boosts and ur good to go.

Yeah well
I'll gladly give this to you
fresh holly
Anabell just unlucky it’s the worst area 10

Sprint Support as floor 10 is just bad
Literally one (1) "DPS" option
Which is generous calling Paulo that, because that's not his job
And he doesn't like up with any of their gimmicks
heavy fjord
i mean he works okay with anabel
crisp token
Def debuffs on 5/5? Yeah no thanks
Awful run in general, had to settle with just one 2x on the last floor
Basically could not use any of my caked pairs
Lost out on another x2 pair on some other floor because of a gimmick check
And bought a boost that didn't end up having any use (lost the gamble for Darach)
They only solace was free Unova boost which makes things easy
fluid mountain
Good! Because I recently EXR'd Redlax... just for A1 
kindred seal
Who else was struggling with the Roark Halloween battle? That battle is nuts. Feels like 2 areas too strong. I had it area 3 and already had a second type boost and could barely get by
leaden wraith
Make sure to give your tank Vigilance and remove his buffs
kindred seal
Yeah, it's not even a very technical battle. All it asks of you is to lower their defense and attack physical. But all their attack power is super jacked up
Of course, opening with a sure crit Head Smash is an instant delete to anyone on your side
But yeah, as expected, the battle after it was trivial
What's Fluid Fortification again?
proven matrix
more buffed stats = less damage taken
kindred seal
Is there something I'm missing here then? Lowered defense for bigger sync damage. But I still can't take center down. I have two type buffs and an attack buff
leaden wraith
Not enough debuff
fluid mountain
What a sad ending... 
Done all areas on VH except A10 on H. Mostly CS stages, except a H-Whitney BC in A8 iirc.
Then... got Anabel UB as A10 VH. Sadly with no good defenses debuffers with bonus and requiring to put a weather setter, the bulk that gets with her passive was too much, and the shop offered nothing to lowers stats (besides Apple Cup ofc), so, even with 4 Opp. Stats Down PU and the wasted Four-Hit Combo Dango, it wasn't enough to beat her, so had to go to beat Darach UB on H with ease.
Items used:
- 1 Normal Upgrade (starting)
- 4 Opp. Stats Down Power Up (175, one at discount)
- 1 Four-Hit Combo Dango (100, wasted on A10)
kindred seal
I don't know what's to complain about hitting the 9000 points tier. I don't even think I've hit that yet. What is 4-hit combo?
fluid mountain
I don't know what's to complain about hitting the 9000 points tier. I don't even...
"Only the first time a sync move is used, reduces the sync move countdown by nine." It can be used once per pair (total 3 times)
So that means insta sync move after a sync move
simple frost
I don't know what's to complain about hitting the 9000 points tier. I don't even...
basically, you get to ssync 3 times in a row. its funny running your damage numbers with 3x Support Syncs.
kindred seal
oh that seems fun
simple frost
the moment you sync once, you basically sync a 2nd time with a sync pair you haven't sync'd, then on the 3rd time, then a final sync to whoever.
it has a bit delay so just wait for the -9 sync countdown

Was thinking poison upgrade with severe sundae to use geeta and SS morty
3rd could be rei or something
simple frost
Morty for sun, Variety Thorton for restrain... but hmm
simple frost
i guess you can do poison.
Darach H would be better.
since you might buy that Opp Def Down Power as well for VH
leaden wraith
VH Argenta seems out of reach, i'm not sure if Geeta, SS Morty and V Thorton can clear
beating H Darach is more reasonable
leaden wraith
molten ice
Starting bonus Dragon in team, bought it twice, VH was Darach, tried using NCBianca for triple bonus but could not do it so I changed to NCSilver but was still short in damage, I checked store and there was an extra damage with sandstorm for 50 so I took it and won
wary kayak
Atk Down damage multiplier in the shop. It's only round 2 right now... Is this a good one to lock in, or should I wait for another?
simple frost
it's a bit early. CritPower is definitely better, but if you can -ATK your opponents a lot in your battles up + Area 010, perhaps.
wary kayak
I have one of those role patterns where we can't tell what it is until round 3. The two possibilities for round 10 are Support&Sprint and (sigh) Sprintfield
...This is unorthodox but maybe I should buy the binoculars to preview Round 3, to know whether it's Support&Sprint at the end-- so I'll know I can exploit Atk Down with Neo Leaf or Neo Serena.
leaden wraith
it's not a good multiplier because the attack debuffs have way less usage than defensive debuffs
leaden wraith
...This is unorthodox but maybe I should buy the binoculars to preview Round 3, ...
that doesn't benefit you much
wary kayak
I have noticed I have a Field with Atk Down (Mix Red), so I'm taking it after all
half bone
Alright, better actually remember to do this. Current layout, for reverence. Gym Leader boost.
Current opponent. Might need to burn a power pair for this.
Any adv8ce for this battle? Don't know which it is.
leaden wraith
this is NC Nate's BC
your team wants defense debuff immunity at least
or you bring a strong dmg dealer to blitz through
half bone
Hmm... what would work there?
half bone
Was asking to be able to confirm. You could have given suggesetions on what pairs give debuff immunity.
leaden wraith
there are too many pairs to list out, and seeing your roster is the better approach anyway 
half bone
Well, there it is.
leaden wraith
Falkner Shauna and Riley then
tank with Shauna
support sprint doesn't appear later so you can use Redlax, Chase or Paulo instead of Shauna
half bone
Current boosts on sale.
leaden wraith
it's a good deal to get
half bone
This is what I would be working with.
I honestly need a good theme skill that hasm ore than one Sprint/Field candidate. I've got two of those.
At best, I would be able to use SS Gladion for hte last five battles.
would it be worth for 50? If only for a stopgap idea in case I run out of other options?
just gonna go for it, it's a backup, at least.
still hoping for Rival or something.
half bone
Alright, Gym Leader for SS Morty tank or Fairy for SS Gladion striker?
Which would be more confirmed useful?
It's Sprint/Field.
leaden wraith
please give more context
like who are the opponents, your Field/Sprint roster, etc.
half bone
I don't know who the final opponent is, I"m on 9.
I could buy Binocs to see.
Eh, I"ll check, I saved 50 earlier.
...screw this game.
half bone
I have no rebuff, that's out.
I can't do the hardest.
Best I could do with that is using NC Rosa, and that would be awkward as all hell.
leaden wraith
how is that awkward
half bone
Having to save rebuff stuff makes using NC Rosa weird.
crisp token
Argenta just needs Negative Status Change iirc, which includes Confusion
The issue is she clears it after every move
But you can also just apply it every turn with Rosa
simple frost
what other field/sprint units you've got?
half bone
Stuff like NC Silver, Rei, Aura cynth...
leaden wraith
SS Morty SS Gladion NC Rosa then
half bone
total used.
well, total I have, derp.
hopefully, you get what I mean.
Best to figure this out too because, to have a support for the next fight, I need to use a sprint EXR, most likely.
leaden wraith
there is Chase
crisp token
Wait is SS Lyra cake out already?
leaden wraith
then Cynthia
half bone
thus why I need ot know who to use here, Sprint/Tech stage and I already used NC Calem.
Just a Gym Leader battle, at least, Ice weak Agtha.
leaden wraith
Cynthia, an Ice type like Candice and a filler
half bone
Needing to keep using Gladion, so the filler would have to be Gladion.
been using him and MPR to help me get through stuff.
leaden wraith
no need to do that
crisp token
Argenta sets Terrain right? Then maybe NC Rosa, SSTRed, SS Morty on 10
leaden wraith
the terrain is none of a concern tbh
half bone
no need to do that
...If I stop using him, I lose him.
So I can't use him in the last stage.
half bone
You're not listening, I've BEEN using him.
simple frost
in A08?

the terrain is none of a concern tbh
Don't they hit pretty hard in terrain, it's been a while

A Sprint/Field stage.

leaden wraith
Don't they hit pretty hard in terrain, it's been a while
nope
just take down sides

This has been my stage layout, it sucks.
crisp token
If you're not planning to use Gladion on floor 10 then there's no need to keep him around
half bone
Well, other options are NC Silver or Rei, are either of htem good for the VH boss?
leaden wraith
he enables Fairy boost so you can keep him
as long as Gladion has MPR on his TM just use him
half bone
he does.
Wow, they sell Free Lollipop.
For SS Gladion, that might as well be 'free win' button.
simple frost
try a10 with the proposed team before buying 😮
half bone
I am.
simple frost
you have SS Morty for gauge support + sun
half bone
...Jesus christ, SS Gladion got deleted.
On the third sync move.
I mean, went straight from full health to dead.
Other potential items I can use.
only things that I think could see use are the Jelly or Free Move stuff, to ensure I can always act with SS Gladion.
otherwise, wondering if a switch to Silver is warranted, he was good here.
simple frost
On the third sync move.
how much % HP was MID at?
leaden wraith
what lucky skill does he have?
half bone
I think around 30.
leaden wraith
Vigilance is a must
half bone
You mean Vigilance on him?
leaden wraith
yes, ofc
half bone
ah, he has no lucky skill on.
half bone
how much % HP was MID at?
I got past 50% at the very least.
Both sides were down due to Fleur Cannon.
There we go, had better luck saving fighting rebuff for after 50

Tech Support and its 4 possible routes again
hopefully you get C1-a
it's one of the best seeds where you can use all of your EXR
btw spending SST Red, SS Cyrus and Anni May on R3 doesn't sound right

Say that is a neat route
BUT it’s also the only route where Tech Support shows up just once haha
And do I really wanna waste NC Leaf, Cerena, and Elaine right at the start

mental raft
Which upgrade is better?
mental raft
Yeah I m saving her for A10!
bronze aspen
You know how some paths are branching
Is it better to use your 2x at a1 or save them later (with there's no indication they'll repeat the same one later thus wasting your boosts)
On the contrary not saving units for latrr may mean you don't have a boost for that stage
leaden wraith
for these situations i use one of them at a1 and save the rest
leaden wraith
but luck is not always on your side
leaden wraith

Should I buy that defence jelly?
It is Sprint Field area but I can't use NC Rosa here I am saving her for A10!
And I'm thinking instead of bringing a random psychic unit (which will give me 600 points for this stage) I am using Rei here (with defence jelly) which will give me 650 net!
But I am not sure how much damage Rei will take from Iris's sync move, because next area is Sprint Strike!
Iris before killing my sync pairs reach 30% HP
With sides killed
I want to take the risk only if defense jelly saves Rei!
This is the seed btw
leaden wraith
Rei is gonna be put as 3rd tactic anyway, so him losing a chunk of HP is not a big deal

Cleared it before Iris's sync this time!

NCSerena got taken out by a crit EQ but she single handedly killed Thorton and brought sides down to 40-50%
NCBlue took care of the rest
Fortunately the sides don't have the same SpDef-Def swap mechanic like Thorton, I think
I always thought Dark Nuke NCSerena was meme but after a closer look, it benefits from Power Play and whatever just the same
So idk why I held that bias

Ok finally done with Rally, had to buy the Countdown Ice Cream and another Crit boost, but I managed to whittle away Anabel and her cronies to death
She starts spamming hard-hitting AoEs past her 2nd sync, if she gets off her 3rd sync you're not coming back from that
So can't quite outlast her to wait for her to die from sandstorm
Still had to supplement with damage, which thankfully Silver can do with his B move
I got pretty close (16%) without the Ice Cream, so I had just picked up another Crit boost it would've been enough
Note to self: buy 2 Crit boosts before the final stage if possible
Sad I couldn't use Akari's bonus though
Constantly flinching her helps a ton here
Now I gotta go have...fun...with the other Ground challenge

True
As much as I mald about Anabel and Palmer, it's kinda fun to figure out out-of-the-box ways of dealing with stages
