Battle Rally

[pearl lion]

youll do better next time. youre better off buying like 2-3 of the stat boosts and maybe one or two dmg boosts

you can use the pomas tools BR option to sorta scout ahead the future roles if you know the first 1-2 rounds

If you have a ss lyra or ss cyrus they can get you through a difficult round or two EZPZ

[gaunt drift]

i used 3 teams

1. masked royal/xmas sycamore/someone im forgetting oopsies
2. nc calem, nc serena, ss lysandre
3. nc blue, nc red, pikared

most of the items i bought were just to re-up HP, and an apple cup in round 10 bc it looked bonkers (narrators note: it was, indeed, bonkers)

[pearl lion]

BR is a mode where you kinda just use and discard units as needed

dont bother w/ HP and MP items at all if you have the roster for it

focus on triggering your stat boost upgrade( s ) while getting as many points as possible by matching the rounds roles

using 30 units total is normal

[quiet apex]

Yeah use fodder where you can but try for x2 boost units whenever possible. Sprint and Field are the only ones you may need to be very mindful of. You can also use this table to see all the BR combinations so you know what to expect ahead.

[wary kayak]

PoMaTools even has a thingie where you input the first stage's roles and it automatically shows you which one it'll be (or prompt you for the next stage's roles if multiple patterns start the same way)

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/battle-rally

Super handy

[next fern]

So im kinda stumped

the guide says the apple cup is never worth it

but i have 0 idea how you pierce through the final rounds

since you're supposed to bring out your super cracked units then

but uh how do i remover weather and terrain nd inflict a status change while also keeping up dps

[pearl lion]

depends on your roster

[next fern]

i tried using confuse but suicune breaks out of it very fast

[pearl lion]

Yeah it sounds kinda trite but we dont know what units you have

or the bonus roles

do you have ss morty or nc serena

[next fern]

bonus roles: Unova, Battle Facility Foe

I have morty, only 1/5 though

[pearl lion]

or nc bianca / blue

[next fern]

0 neo champions

they werent a thing when I was playing

[pearl lion]

any rebuffers?

argenta can only clear rebuff once at like 50 or 60%

[next fern]

you mean grass types, or something more specific

[pearl lion]

any rebuff unit gets rid of her passive

[next fern]

this doesnt sound like type rebuff

can you eplain

[pearl lion]

yes

it is type rebuff

[next fern]

im using Mallow and Brendan

[pearl lion]

you have bertha?

[next fern]

yes

[pearl lion]

can you fit her into your comp?

[next fern]

idk how sand will help sun team

[pearl lion]

you can afford to not run sun

like bertha is a good option if you have nothing to set rebuff on suicune

[next fern]

"set rebuff" okay lost again

sorry if i seem a bit out of it

came back like a week ago and just

[pearl lion]

what? its basically what nc serena does

[next fern]

lord things have changed

i have 0 ncs

what does she do

[pearl lion]

theres other units that do what she does

do you have the arc units?

[next fern]

no

[pearl lion]

yeah bertha might be your best counter

unfortunately

[next fern]

do i ignore the psychic terrain?

[pearl lion]

yeah

unless you wanna use it i guess

[next fern]

okay so

if im understanding this right

we're bringing sand vs a water team

[pearl lion]

yes

Bertha gives sand, atk debuff, trap vs suicune

[next fern]

are we still ignoring the grass damage or should i have a grss striker still

.....hmmm

hold on a minute

[pearl lion]

i mean w/ enough bonuses you might be able to afford to run bren or smth

[next fern]

could BP Barry work with attack trap?

[pearl lion]

sure i guess

but atk trap is unreliable

bc its only smth like 50%

[next fern]

its just now occuring to me this would be less a problem if I had anni raihan still around

uhhhh

suicune has something

lessen trap 10
remove initial interference

💀

[pearl lion]

yep

it sucks but you gotta deal w/ it

unless you wanna lower the difficulty

[next fern]

wait so i need to bring a second interference

that apple is looking kinda tasty

[fathom yacht]

Fucking Anabel blocking me from 12k Rally run 🤡

The worst part is Blue Cynthia can totally do it but my roles were Bug and Unova and i had no good unit to put with them. I severely regret using SSHilbert and not Maxie on the earlier Strike Tech stage

If i had Hilbert for this not only would I have double boost but he can change to water i believe so he’d hit super effective, and then i’d have 12k

[karmic wraith]

hilbert dies to 1 sync lol

[simple frost]

@next fern uh

what are your role bonuses for that fight

and your theme boosts/ upgrades

brendan and mallow tells me strike/tech role bonus? o.o

tbh, if you can Restrain them, that'd be better, but you also need to change the weather twice.

for Argenta A10 fight

[fathom yacht]

Is he Fire Weak

And this is with double boost and NCBlue on team

So dying to the sync would be quite impressive

[next fern]

strike/support BFC and Unova

[simple frost]

how many bfc / unova?

i mean theme boosts

oh also, is it very hard?

[next fern]

1 each

yeah i was doing mono very hard

tho i think i may be out of my depth

[simple frost]

what team did you attempt with?

[next fern]

morty brendan bperika, morty brendan Mallow

[simple frost]

oh that's tough then ;x

[next fern]

Lyra but she got evaporated because this suicune is physical for some reason

[simple frost]

whose your Hard fight?

[next fern]

lucy

[simple frost]

btw.

very hard is +100% stat boost for your opponent

if you dont have at least matching 1-2 theeme boosts, that stage will kill you

you didnt haavee any bff in your team or unova either.

try against lucy, if lucy is too hard, go to very hard and grab Apple Cup.

[simple frost]

for lucy, just drop enemy speed and have antitoxin for all your party members.

[left dirge]

I'm not used to this mode, is it better to stack as many role multipliers as possible in the beginning or to save them for the final stages?

[simple frost]

#1232035765954019338 , but typically, most people wait for lucky stages to drop their rolee bonus multipliers.

[karmic wraith]

yes

he is also just frail in general

even with nc blue

[fathom yacht]

Ok so i’m not beating VH Anabel there then

[left dirge]

I read the guide, but it doesn't address my question... ig another way to put it is: if I don't have that many characters with EX roles, is it better to save them for later?

[fathom yacht]

Even with Blue and Arc Cynthia?

How tf is that even possible

Use them as early as possible unless you feel the need to save it for a later stage

[simple frost]

with what upgrades? o.

[fathom yacht]

For example if you have Aura Cynthia Sprint Support, and she’s 2.0 rn at area 4 but Area 10 is also Sprint Support, then hold her

But otherwise spam every possible role as early as possible

[fathom yacht]

I had Bug and Unova 🤡

For Strike Support

Fucking awful

[simple frost]

ewww

[fathom yacht]

I already used Hilbert

[simple frost]

no damage upgrades?

[fathom yacht]

I already used SSHilda

I already used NCNate

[simple frost]

whose the hard battle?

[fathom yacht]

And i had 100% dmg in Ground Zone but my best team, which was INGO BY THE WAY 🤡🤡🤡

Was SO low on dmg that i didn’t knock Anabel to even 50% before 2nd sync nuked me

My Cynthia is 3/5 btw

Trash ass game

[simple frost]

1 unova upgrade?

[fathom yacht]

Yes

[simple frost]

not happening then.

it took me

10 theme boosts

just to scrape by against anabel last time.

no damage boosts

[fathom yacht]

Now that i think about it I could have bought a second one AND THEN Ground Zone and it MIGHT have killed

[simple frost]

no nothing.

[fathom yacht]

But it wouldn’t have been 12k anymore

I would have spent too much

[simple frost]

whose your hard battle?

[fathom yacht]

Darach, he was fucking obliterated 💀

[simple frost]

kek.

can't be helped

12k requires a bit of sacrifice tbh.

[fathom yacht]

This BR just lowered my opinion on ArCynthia a bit

[simple frost]

oh

i used her early.

[fathom yacht]

She was a bit too reliant on the nuke boosted by the TM for me to consider her top 5 imo

[simple frost]

like this.

[fathom yacht]

The EQs weren’t really on the level i expected the potential next best Striker

[simple frost]

i've got Arc Steven too

but the only troublesome stage

wass the a07 one.

[fathom yacht]

That’s not difficult if you have an interference unit

You need to specifically save SSLyra or Cyrus for that

[left dirge]

alright, I'll keep what you said in mind, thx for the replies

[simple frost]

stun to kingdomcome eh

[fathom yacht]

Alternatively you can use NCRosa A5 and carry her corpse to A7 where you sing spam

That’s not a joke btw

I did that with Geeta once

[simple frost]

still

no 750 per stagee

feels great

[fathom yacht]

Multi units are busted for Rally

[simple frost]

very

[fathom yacht]

Provided you’re not maxed on 2.0s

But no one is

[simple frost]

well

i still need to have at least 3 strike/sprints, tech/sprints

but its difficult to find a tech/sprint

btw

are you also buying the feathers in shop?

[leaden wraith]

I hate rotational seeds

[sullen frigate]

sorry for the late rever,t, i prolly need more supports then

thankss

[leaden wraith]

[sullen frigate]

do you have to hit all the bonuses or multiple of that is okay?

i.e 2 tech for a tech bonus

[next fern]

Finished...phew

[leaden wraith]

Ideally you want to activate at least 3 matching roles

[next fern]

Unsure if this score is impressive but i have 0 ex roles so be nice

[leaden wraith]

nice job, but the amount you spent is a concern

that's too much

[next fern]

for 0 ex roles?

i bought like, 2 250s

everything else was 100 or below

[leaden wraith]

you should have stopped at ~300 range

don't buy unnecessary upgrades

[next fern]

those being...?

[leaden wraith]

how can i know what did you buy

generally avoid buying the first 3 items on the second row

when you get favorable theme boosts, just keep them at 3 at most for a comfortable run

[next fern]

there was an item that gave everyone +4 Sp.A for all stages

[leaden wraith]

don't buy one time use items unless you really need to buy them to clear VH, but i recommend dropping to H most of time

[leaden wraith]

yes, that's one of the unnecessary upgrades

just bring a support

[next fern]

Wanna walk me through this next one then?

[leaden wraith]

sure

[next fern]

okay so

it seems the theme bonus is Ice

round one, Strike Field

(i have 0 fields)

[leaden wraith]

Strike / Field has 3 possible routes (according to pomatools)

can you send me a screenshot of the shop?

[sullen frigate]

is the infographic for the bsttle rally stage viewer still working??

[leaden wraith]

+pomatools are you talking about this one?

[hexed patio]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs

[leaden wraith]

what a great shop to start with

Electric is generally a good and accessible type, and the crit power is the best 50 pts upgrade

[next fern]

first time i had a type theme bonus

i caan imagine those are probbly the most flexible

[leaden wraith]

i think it largely depends on your roster

[simple frost]

get crit power

[next fern]

Well I have an Ash so thats a start

[leaden wraith]

don't use him too early

okay then, get both crit power up and Electric, then beat the R1 stage to get the clue of R2

[next fern]

do we ignore the auto crit 3 item?

[simple frost]

too expensive

;o

[leaden wraith]

no, you always buff crit

so it's wasteful to buy it

[next fern]

okay before i start im gonna make sure my builds re up to par

[sullen frigate]

the one where we see the battle rally stages ? so i dont need to buy the scope

[next fern]

havent updted these since villas were still a thing

[leaden wraith]

it only tells you about the role pattern

[sullen frigate]

yep that one

[leaden wraith]

the scope is still a wasteful investment

[sullen frigate]

can u reset these ?

[leaden wraith]

the shop is reset after every round

[next fern]

realizing my collection is very lacking in ice strikers

why is everyone nd their mom a tech, ugh

[leaden wraith]

Ice is not a great type overall aside from some limiteds

[next fern]

okay seed get

[next fern]

you mentioned not going above 300, so we got 150 more left to spend. anything attractive here?

[leaden wraith]

is Electric theme good enough for you?

[next fern]

wait the image idnt uplaod oops

oh, is this usually it for the whole run?

[leaden wraith]

i don't get what do you mean but theme boosts should last for the whole run

[next fern]

i mean do people usually not buy more than this

[leaden wraith]

yes, for good point gain at the end

but since you are new to the mode you spend more than the recommended cap a bit

just don't overspend too much

[next fern]

Heres my ice and electric lineup

Should be doable, ye?

[leaden wraith]

your Electric is okay

have you bought Electric and crit power up?

[next fern]

yep

[leaden wraith]

you can consider buying 1 different good upgrade, to allow you to have a comfortable run without much restriction

[zealous plover]

Bonuses are strike and support but I am struggling with this. The ice weakness hurts even with ice guard.

Theme bonuses are 4x Kanto

[leaden wraith]

i would replace Ingo with a special dmg dealer

you need to rush the first 40%

[zealous plover]

I was thinking that too but I'm not sure too. Unfortunately I already used Leon and NC Red 😭

[leaden wraith]

you should do that

Emmet doesn't have power to rush

if things get rough you might have to replace him too

[glad pebble]

any reason why it's only 4x?

hello everyone need help with above lol

[mental raft]

1x from all 3 combined

Additional 1x multiplies 3 so 3x

[twilit chasm]

Not sure about that wording but you already got maximize points

[mental raft]

Total gives you 4x

[twilit chasm]

6 bonus role gives 1k2

[mental raft]

You can understand it as first 1x get multiply with each other giving you 1x multiplier, then the additional multipliers from each get added!

It won't add all to give you 6x, and that's how it works

[glad pebble]

I see thanks all!

[next fern]

@leaden wraith hows this? Bwtter than last by some margin?

[leaden wraith]

yes, a lot better

great job

[twilit chasm]

Fuck anabel My first 12k is with anabel what the hell
Guard chocolat was fun that i dont even need a unit for theme boost

Almost zero damage lost

[timid hound]

Excellent work

[simple frost]

nice

i still haven't reached 12k

but soon.

[sullen frigate]

im still confused how to do the rally better

my store sells bug upgrades , should i just upgrade that and always put a bug on the team?

[leaden wraith]

i wouldn't bother purchasing bad upgrades

[sullen frigate]

i have no ex characters , i dont think i could hit 3 of the intended roles

[leaden wraith]

the value of each upgrade depends on pairs you have

[sullen frigate]

thats what i thought too

maybe i should try to just hit 2 roles for now . is there any good electric bp syncs?

[leaden wraith]

you can bring another dmg dealer to carry damage

if that's what you meant

[twilit chasm]

no need to rush to get higher point if your roster is still bad

5-6k point is pretty much decent standard without exr and stuff

[timid hound]

Just do a bit better each time

Slowly and surely you will get there

[timid hound]

Time for everyone's favorite time of week

Grass Upgrade, not the worst

[quaint star]

Sigh, again, Darach is pissing me off

Can't seem to be able to muster enough damage, and I have 4 stacks of Rock upgrade

[quaint star]

Seriously, buzz off

[sullen frigate]

i made it to 5.7k ! haha

[leaden wraith]

Keep it up

[sullen frigate]

shouldve taken an ss but its better than my previous run

lowkey need more syncs haha especially the quick roles

[stark zinc]

That'll do

I only buy 3 Rebuff: Power UP and thats it

[simple frost]

you keeping track of your score per week?

[stark zinc]

No

......Maybe i should

Do you have spreadsheets for this mode?

[simple frost]

i do

[stark zinc]

Can you post it here?

[simple frost]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gt06-tHgdfULs49_zyPhOOIJBY57sAJK3Uk4rdkTx1A/edit?gid=73945575#gid=73945575

you dont have to copy it all

[stark zinc]

Thanks Rei

[simple frost]

i like my details ;D

i generally just buy power upgrades because, palmer is a thing.

as you can see, my a10 battles is palmer/argenta

like tie right now

[stark zinc]

I buy generally good buffs, like Atk/Sp. Atk UP: Power UP, Sync Boost and rebuff: Power UP

[simple frost]

yeah those our power upgrades

oh right, you can copy the tally and original tabs.

the rest are like, my records

you can read it all if you want

[prisma gyro]

This stage is a pain
I need to clear dragon zone AND debuff defence otherwise tough cookie roar of time wrecks me
Sprintfield and Kalos upgrade does NOT help

I still haven't cleared it. Even ss morty died after like 2 moves.

My only kalos sprintfield is ss diantha

Should i just forgo role bonus and throw cerena in there and hope for def debuff? Next stage is techsupp so if i play safely i can still use her later

[leaden wraith]

Is there any reason you don't want to use SS Diantha?

[prisma gyro]

I've already used her in an earlier techfield stage

Crap she completely handles all the gimmicks here

[leaden wraith]

Using a non matching role unit to beat VH still gives 100 more than moving to H with 3 matching roles

[prisma gyro]

I don't want to cake og lysandre for kalos upgrade

[leaden wraith]

Neither do i

[prisma gyro]

I'll try the cerena route then. Hopefully she debuffs def. Worst case, i'll use her bmove

And i might have to wait 4 resets for lillie's ex too

Actually i haven't seen them setting up dragon zone again, so maybe that's not necessary

[leaden wraith]

Now my phone can load the images properly

So BP Clemont doesn't work?

If so i doubt Cerena work

Unless you proc many Staggering in Dark mode into Water Shuriken

[prisma gyro]

Oh i didn't have time to use screech with bp clement. I tried to use his tmove and still died

[leaden wraith]

Riley can debuff def with Iron Tail On a Roll

I have never encountered this stage so i can't give much more helpful advice

[prisma gyro]

I bet it wouldn't be this much of a problem if i had rei

[timid hound]

This ought to murder them even if boostless

Dear lord they didn't stand a chance

[prisma gyro]

i also used the arc champs earlier. Lance barely managed to finish sides. Steven and Cynthia rekt shop though (although nc blue died).
All at 1/5.

It was close. With only kalos upgrade. So no upgrade at all.

[timid hound]

AS good for slotting into stages where you either:

1. Don't have any of the double role bonus
2. Expended all of your double role bonus

[mental raft]

This stage sucks it forced me to buy another upgrade this week!

It was just area 3

Still i barely cleared it with two theme boosts

[prisma gyro]

tony you got that stage too?

[twilit chasm]

the trilogy annoyance: lucas, diantha and kantrio

[mental raft]

Yeah!

We don't have a Kalos DC pair yet, otherwise it would have been easier maybe!

[leaden wraith]

You haven't seen Anabel outside of the A10

And there is Roark and Piers BC

[timid hound]

Roark BC is actually evil

[wary kayak]

Grass Terrain Dawn gave me massive trouble last run

[sudden hull]

the adaman and irida bc is fucking atrocious too

sentry entry x2 mid and wise entry x2 sides

like why

[timid hound]

Status move them to death

[fathom yacht]

Even in a10 anabel’s a bi-

But outside? Burn eternally in the flames you created witch

[ocean wren]

Needed to figure out, does doing two each on the stages when you have multiple of the same combo hurt the points later?

[tight copper]

Hey guys trying to figure out which team to run the whole way without having to switch it but that will give decent points. Don't need to min max but want a decent number of points. Can anyone help me

[sudden hull]

you cant run a full team all the way unless you want to lose a lot of points

[tight copper]

yeah but isnt there a way to cover most bases with the units

heres my list

[grizzled gale]

It really depends on what set of role bonuses you get. For example, if every / most of the stages include a Support bonus, you could run NC Blue the whole time. But most of the time the role bonuses change significantly between each stage

I suppose if you run NC Blue EXR, SST Red EXR, and Anni Lillie 2024 EXR, you would get at least some bonus each round. And if you can get a matching theme bonus, are willing to spend for some additional theme buffs, and/or are willing to reset for TMs, you should be to clear all the stages using a minimal amount of MP

The new Multi pairs also encourage this if you want to be lazy

Just keep in mind you’re going to lose a lot of points doing this strategy

[tight copper]

I feel like it's better than no points right?

Also I don't have anniversary Lillie did I mess up and added her by accident?

[urban ledge]

If you want points, gonna have to match roled

And each week has a set different path randomly chosen anyway

[sweet mango]

Why

Why

[sweet mango]

Fairy weak sidney after

[timid hound]

In theory this should work

[simple frost]

good luck xD

how much upgrades?

[timid hound]

Grass Upgrade x 2

So BP Lusamine was very clutch

[simple frost]

might work then.

[timid hound]

I just need her to live to Argenta 50%

[simple frost]

with nc blue healing, it should be fine. o.o

try it first

[timid hound]

[timid hound]

This is kinda rough

NC Nate isn't doing as much DMG as I want

It's like a slow burn

I guess only 2 Upgrades does that to a player

[simple frost]

any damage upgrades?

[timid hound]

Wait I got two good ones for NC Nate HAHA

Which one should I pick?

If I could get BP Lusamine ATK up that'd be great but unfortunately NC Blue doesn't do that...

[sudden hull]

mad strength 2

[timid hound]

Bestie why are you so smart?

We're cooking

[simple frost]

lol

you probably dont check shop at all every stage huh

[timid hound]

I do, but I'm very anti-buying anything

So outside of a few PU I usually ignore it until I need it

I almost never pre-buy unless it's good

[leaden wraith]

not because of me stealing crit pu right

[timid hound]

But outside of like crit rebuff or stats down PU I usually glaze over everything else

Only when I'm having issues like now do I take a second more meaningful look at shop

[simple frost]

i like the status condition one too.

like if you have enough people in your roster that can status condition... wohoo

[leaden wraith]

[simple frost]

speed power can also work too~ but those ones are rare ;x

sp.def or def ones too, especially if you have both defenses buffers

[sweet mango]

Ss morty bc with no upgrade

[timid hound]

Dahlia ate

[sweet mango]

Only 3x alola

[leaden wraith]

~~the featured unit fails to beat the stage designed for him ~~

looks like you have to forgo a matching role

[prisma gyro]

Sounds like a solid and safe strategy. 2 for role bonus, 1 for theme upgrade. You can split 1 first and 3 later just in case you get a lucky stage later, but if you can't activate the theme boost with 3 role bonus then it's riskier.

[ocean wren]

My boost was normal if that helped but I still managed to beat it using both elaine and cerena being my only 2x, the other two got used for that stage

[sweet mango]

[timid hound]

Fleur Cannon him to next week

[ocean wren]

What bonus is it?

[simple frost]

any damage upgradess in sshop?

[simple frost]

alola i think

[ocean wren]

Can't tell of hoenn or johto

Oh

[sweet mango]

I overkilled area 9 with piercing fleur cannon

So i don’t have mp for it

[ocean wren]

If you want to, there should be an item in shop to restore it

[simple frost]

oo/

[ocean wren]

Welp at least there's annilillie04

Assuming if exr by now

[timid hound]

Very expensive and thus not recommended to purchase

Yeah that looks good

Put ALillie first

[timid hound]

She can pot herself while the other two go to town

SP ATK JELLY?

If only it was Atk Jelly

[ocean wren]

Well don't two of them go max anyway?

[sweet mango]

Any potion grid for lillie?

[timid hound]

It doesn't give you +6 Atk, it amps your atk by 200%

Or 300%, I forgot

[ocean wren]

Oh I'm mistaking the wrong stuff, my bad

[timid hound]

I have one in #1009587872342478908 just filter by name or something

[leaden wraith]

I don't think you will need heal, Palmer's pre sync moves are not dangerous, and his sync + max are the true killer

So no need to use Potion

[timid hound]

No time to heal

Damage damage damage!

[ocean wren]

Yeah that max move is the true true danger

Even an apple cup has trouble

[timid hound]

It does?

[ocean wren]

If I remember it did very big damage

I can't fully remember off the top of my head

[timid hound]

I've never used an Apple Cup

[simple frost]

you can only tank the max move, if you have 6 or more theme boosts. .-.; even then, he'd kill you outright a move after it.

[timid hound]

I have yet to experience the raw skill flowing through my veins

[simple frost]

me neither

[lost cliff]

who needs upgrades

(i got kanto starting boost)

[timid hound]

[lost cliff]

a10 was strike support palmer

took a few tries but exr hop, exr rei and exr nc blue made it easy

[timid hound]

Nice!

[sweet mango]

Gommy reminded me that I had rei and nc rosa. I spent hours doing br

Used 100k to get 10e on a24lillie and gained 100k back

[timid hound]

[sweet mango]

A24lillie was missing +1 crit and sharp entry 1 costs 10e

Worth it

Typed energy instead of entry

[simple frost]

huh. i haven't seen her kit yet. arc steven was a big upgrade to my steel roster tbh

[timid hound]

A2024 Lillie is a big upgrade too

My (and a majority of people's) first sprint field

[sweet mango]

Her tm raises her atk to 4 and crit to 2. She has sharp entry and berserk 2 at top and bottom

My best steel was 1/5 rose

Now it’s a24lillie and assteven

[timid hound]

1/5 Rose is incredibly powerful still if not for how SLOW HE IS

[simple frost]

this week's csmm was painful though ;<
arc steven ripped through her sentry entry x2 with 1R Variety Thorton

[sweet mango]

I haven’t done csmm yet. I used ss morty anni n and ss red to offtype steel week glacia before

[lost cliff]

im so fucking awesome

[sweet mango]

Now i have 2/5 non ex raihan

I spent 300 points and ended with 10850

[timid hound]

Imagine if you could sell boosts

[prisma gyro]

Trial giver gets instantly sold

[timid hound]

So true

[slow dirge]

Ok so the game hates me

Strike/Field boost

Anabel.

And if I drop to Hard?

Anabel.

-_-

Oh it's also Unova boost so that's "fun" by some definition of the term

[simple frost]

Anything in shop and how many stacks of unova?

[slow dirge]

3 stacks of unova

Shop... Just the bits I've bought

The instasync sarnie and the omnidrop sundae

Didn't help

Had to drop to Hard in the end

[simple frost]

Rip

[mild notch]

have a tech run, it's so bad for me cause i don't have a lot of those combo's

[tight copper]

Whats a decent doable point total for this I am struggling

[leaden wraith]

You should try to get pass the monthly recommended amount at least

It's pinned here

[digital otter]

How many roll cake coin voucher did you exchange last month? AT LEAST enough to exchange for all 20 cake coin voucher which makes it 24,000 points per month. So like maybe AT LEAST 5~6k per rally.

[urban ledge]

Yeah that’s the minimal goal to shoot for as they’re the most sought after reward, you can aim for sync orbs and gold powerups as well later as you get stronger and have more units in your roster

[tight copper]

Thanks I got it done now

[digital otter]

congrats, hope you earned at least around that area

[crisp token]

Aww mannn Gym Leader boost

[simple frost]

what about the seed? ;o

[quaint star]

Honestly it's not a bad idea to stack on one upgrade. 900 point spent should allow you to do most VH stages

[crisp token]

Ehhhhhhh

[simple frost]

gl then o/

[mental raft]

You got best seed!

Mb it isn't lol

[timid hound]

It's ok

2 Sprintfield is middle of the road

[quaint star]

Better than Springfield at the end

[timid hound]

If I ever get Sprintfield in the end, I'll use it as an excuse to Apple Cup

[urban ledge]

10 times power baby woo

I’ve been guilty of buying six whole ass Crit power ups lol

[timid hound]

That must be such a power trip

[crisp token]

Yeah it's not the worst seed, but eh I don't like Strike Sprint at the end, no tanks

[urban ledge]

Palmer never saw it coming

[verbal verge]

Trying to make this happen, feeling too cheap to spend 50 points to get it done lol, or simply finally 3/5'ing my SST Red

[simple frost]

how much hp did darach have?

[verbal verge]

He gets low into the orange then recovers it all 💀

[urban ledge]

I’m surprised SST Red couldn’t make it happen

[verbal verge]

2/5 doesn't have Haymaker or Cakewalk lol

[urban ledge]

Ah I missed that tidbit

[mental raft]

But still morty has sun too!
You are not losing because of wtz i see!

[simple frost]

what abouto the atk upgrade?

[mental raft]

Its lack of damage

[simple frost]

the sides are dead yes?

[verbal verge]

Oh yes very much dead quickly

[simple frost]

hrm

honestly, another atk buff should help out tbh

[verbal verge]

I have a countdown ice cream thing on sale for 50 points, I'd def beat it with that. Honestly no need to be stingy over 50 points

[simple frost]

up to you then.

[timid hound]

Which do you value more: x points ot your sanity?

Choose wisely ♪

[leaden wraith]

I choose you

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-ash-ketchum-hat-turn-gif-5634817

[timid hound]

[crisp token]

Meh, never did find a better boost than Gym Leader

I did pick up 3 Crits so I could finish it at least

[simple frost]

noice crit power~

[timid hound]

Crit PU carry

[thin bison]

I only have one tech field pair. There are two tech field areas in my BR, one at 6 and another at 9. Normally I would save until the later area, however, 6 ended up being lucky. My question is do I use my tech/field at the lucky field now or later in area 9?

here's my br to help visualize, area 6 is lucky

[mental raft]

Lucky Area >>>>>>>> Normal Area

You will get double rewards in lucky area so use it A6!

[thin bison]

ok cool just wanted to make sure

[verbal verge]

I chose my sanity

#1020530656767385720 message

Still hit the minimum for

[ocean parrot]

Any recommendations for the team ? I have other units with higher percentages but I’m keeping them for later

[leaden wraith]

you must debuff their defenses and use physical attacks

[quaint star]

Gotta play to the advantage of your upgrade

That's Kalos or Hoenn? Best have one character from that region

[leaden wraith]

can you show me your roster of said 2 regions?

[sturdy stone]

This is probably going to be my best BR run ever lmao. Arc pairs make planning for the final battles so much easier

[timid hound]

Excellent work in making it past the 12k threshold

[verbal verge]

Do you just save your arc pair(s) for the end?

[sturdy stone]

Depends. If I have a stage where Im missing a x2 unit, Ill use an arc pair with a x1.7 multiplier

But I had no duplicate multipliers this week (thankfully) so I could save ASS and NCBlue for the last 2-3 stages

[timid hound]

That is the most optimal approach imo

[leaden wraith]

(meanwhile i forget i have Arc Steven)

[timid hound]

[stiff flume]

Ok that's weird

[timid hound]

[terse star]

Is there a video guide for battle rally with mid account?

[mental raft]

No there is no such video guide!
But the pins have all the necessary information and guides!

Check it out!

[wary cove]

ugh i need to do my br but its definitely my least favorite of the weekly pmex things

would anyone be up for helping me configure a lineup? my bonus for this cycle is gym leader so not the worst

[mental raft]

Once you obtain several ExR it will be a breeze!
Will take a few months I guess!

[wary cove]

its mostly just like

less exr, more just overall thin roster?

like, as far as fields go i now have 1/5 dc marnie and ex rika. once i can get enough spirits i'll have ex anabel

for sprints i have exr ssa cynthia, exr redlax, 1/5 dc blue, anni lillie, and 1/5 larry

[mental raft]

(you can ExR without Ex for role bonus!)

[wary cove]

you still get the bonus even when theyre not ex??

ok that definitely helps somewhat

[mental raft]

Yeah!
But you won't get the cake effects until you 6* ex the unit

[wary cove]

but yeah like. looking at this as my lineup w/ vh stages as [trainer/weakness] drake/ice, koga/fire, drasna/fairy, agatha/ghost, bruno/water, lance/dragon, bruno/water (again), marshall/fairy, glacia/fighting, and palmer

[mental raft]

I would be sleeping soon but i can try!
Though i am unaware of most of EBEs

[mental raft]

Using telescope is not at all recommended!
It is kind of a waste!

Of 300 points

[wary cove]

in fairness, im mostly in this for the gems rather than the points

if i ever enjoy it more to actually push for points then yeah the 300 points is way too steep a price

[mental raft]

I see!

Every battle looks like a CS battle!
Should be doable

You don't have any sprint field villain!
You have to (maybe) compromise on sprint Filed role bonus in A4

[wary cove]

so ok. of my sprints, my thinking is that i want to go larry (i can maybe afford to tech cake him for the added bonus), candice for tech + gym leader + ice, and then figure out slot 3

[mental raft]

I think villain theme boost is bad!

Keep checking on the shop after you clear every area, to get a good theme!

[wary cove]

my theme is gym leader, not villain (thank god)

[mental raft]

Mb

[wary cove]

i rolled trial giver a bit ago

that one Sucked

the other element: i do have a (non-ex) arc steven

so i could just slot him in for the flat 1.2

[mental raft]

Ontype sync pair is not necessary!
Just use sync pairs to tackle that stage gimmicks!

[wary cove]

hm. so bringing larry as sprint/tech for the gym leader multiplier and then working from there?

[mental raft]

I think save Larry for A4 and A5 both!

And try to use tech Gym leaders in all other tech+sprint and tech+field stages

A4 is a sprint field so only larry is the gym leader accessible there!
And if you carry him to A5 you will get the 2x bonus (from exr)!

This is what i would do!

[wary cove]

oh, i see that logic

thank you for explaining that, i really appreciate it!

[mental raft]

No problem!

[wary cove]

the other thing i could do is spend the 20 vouchers from today's special present to cake lillie for field and use her in area 4/5 alongside larry, since she would then be a sprint/field

[mental raft]

Yeah you can!

[mental raft]

About this, using him with just 1.2x multiplier is a bad idea!
But still you are doing it for gems so use him during last stages, as he is amazing!

[dry ice]

You know, multi ain't half bad for battle rally.

Vs darach

[fathom yacht]

More like multi is busted

If you don’t have 3 2.0 units they’re free points

[dry ice]

they're only good if they have 1.7x tho

otherwise. they are dodo

[wary cove]

i just wish there were an easier way to auto br

its too many things for my brain to enjoy keeping track of

[simple frost]

The only time i get my mind to go off is them bc fights .-.

Most of the time i just buy 1to 2 theme boosts and an applicable damage power 2 to 3.

[quaint star]

Focus on one upgrade and invest every floor so your pairs can beat those floors. Always go for VH outside of floor 10 if it is on the tougher side

[sudden hull]

can this bc die in a fire already

[simple frost]

you really need to change the weather tbh.

she gets so many plusses when its out.

[sudden hull]

i cant

ok i could

but i think blacephalon dies too quick

[prisma gyro]

I finally cleared this stage. Block moves are helpful when the enemies ohko you.

[timid hound]

Very useful for Rally

[mental raft]

Greta is not rolexed anyways, so replace her with a field unit (I recommend DC Gladion)

[kindred seal]

Is anyone able to click the icon next to the player rank in this mode?

[simple frost]

oh congrats on rising star

[mental raft]

I have done the BR already I can't check

Wait it was still accessible!
Mb

[mental raft]

I can click on it! Why?

[kindred seal]

Oh so it's just me

[kindred seal]

Wait. Really? How? I can't believe it! I've been a member for years 😭

[kindred seal]

What does it do?

[mental raft]

The "i"button right?

[kindred seal]

Right, of course it would. Doesn't do anything for me but I remember reading that when it first came out

[kindred seal]

Oh actually, can you tap on it during a Rally? It works when it's on the start screen

[prisma gyro]

[leaden wraith]

No def debuffing hurts

Also these supports don't have output

[prisma gyro]

yeah i was just throwing things at the wall

Bonus: support sprint
Only theme upgrade: kalos
Roster: rubbish

i'm tempted to applecup with ssa cynthia, nc rosa and redlax just to avoid spending any brainpower on this

[leaden wraith]

How about Support EXR pairs you have?

[timid hound]

Gakon

[prisma gyro]

All spent for bonus in earlier stages

[timid hound]

Sorry to interrupt this session but I must tell you something

I am now a proud owner of a 5/5 Elaine

That Penny stage is going DOWN the next time I see it

Haze me again you evil eevees

See what happens

[prisma gyro]

I'm beginning to question the "maximise points by matching double role units every time" strategy

[simple frost]

Tech / Support always lands on her stage for some reason o.o at least for me

Ss steven + her is noice

[timid hound]

I am Elaine-less no more

[leaden wraith]

Based choice

[leaden wraith]

I would step down to Hard

[prisma gyro]

Hard is Anabel

Anni luck is taking its toll on me

[leaden wraith]

Apple Cup it is

[prisma gyro]

Oh well. Might as well enjoy the applecup carnage.

[prisma gyro]

i thought i could take Hard anabel with nc silver, nc rosa, and ssac
but fluid fortification disagrees

[sweet mango]

How did you get that?

[timid hound]

Pokefair Select Scout C

[prisma gyro]

Instantly candied to 5/5?

[timid hound]

Yep

[prisma gyro]

I respect the dedication

[timid hound]

She's not lauded as one of the best PMEX pairs for nothing

[prisma gyro]

She is?

[timid hound]

Yep

[simple frost]

i'd candy her to 3/5 but hse is coming ;x

[prisma gyro]

Woah. I'm kinda tempted to pull the select fair now.

[timid hound]

[prisma gyro]

Is she more versatile than Chase?

Why are we discussing this in #1009564564821639379

[simple frost]

cuz elaine is great for pesky stages ;-;

[sweet mango]

4 gen, 4 support, or a mix between them to 5/5?

[leaden wraith]

Wdym

If you want to take advice of spending candies, better save omni candies for arc suits

[sweet mango]

What candies did paris use to 5/5

[sudden hull]

is unova boost good

[simple frost]

depends on your sprint/field units for it

(and your seed)

[mental raft]

If you have NC Rosa and/or NC Nate than it might be good!
On the other hand Unova is full of useful units even F2Ps!

It is imo is one of the best Theme Boost

[mental raft]

And yeah this too!
Seed is a factor too!

[prisma gyro]

+10pmun apple cup rock smash

[timid hound]

Did you feel the skill flow through your veins

[prisma gyro]

One more time with feeling!

[prisma gyro]

The skill having hemorrhaged out of my body was the reason i bought apple cup

[urban ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/jafar-genie-powerful-unstoppable-godly-gif-15838523

How I feel after drinking the Apple Cup

[timid hound]

I want to be drunk with power!

[oblique breach]

wow

[sudden hull]

congrats

[sudden heron]

Considering the seed that was lucky

[half sonnet]

Is there an estimate of when the Role Combo chart will be updated?

[simple frost]

role combo chart?

its the same no? with multi added on each area

[timid hound]

What Rei said

No real update to Rally

Just use the current chart and slap Multi at the end of every stage

[hasty marlin]

Vs Palmer. Am I screwed? Used most of my strong limiteds already that’d fit for damage here. Thinking would have to drop anabel or drop difficulty or buy something.

Tried with current team but couldn’t get past like half

Figured Steven the most offensive tank I had left

[simple frost]

Tbh

You dont need a tank

You need to maximize damage

[hasty marlin]

Is losing .7x worth staying on vh at this point

[simple frost]

Youll.have to drop anabel or arc steven for NC Serena if she isnt used yet

[hasty marlin]

She used

[hasty marlin]

See here for not supp main role left

[simple frost]

Zapdos too?

[hasty marlin]

Yes

[simple frost]

Wait nc serena used her tm last battle?

[hasty marlin]

She used tm and bmove

Had to power through r9 boostless

For 4x

[simple frost]

Hrm you managed to get him down below 50%?

[hasty marlin]

Like 50% to 60%

With red

[simple frost]

Sides died or wut?

[hasty marlin]

Nope.

https://tenor.com/view/lucario-sad-dog-gif-20094091

[simple frost]

Ehhhh. Id just do the hard pill then

[hasty marlin]

Doesn’t help I don’t have cookie for adrenaline Steven for an extra turn

[simple frost]

Too expensive for that tbh. You need damage power ups to get a chance of presyncing

[hasty marlin]

Ye I didn’t find any good ones aside from bleh spatk up when I wouldn’t be constantly doing special

Rest was too specific

It kept being like “dragon damage?” And stuff like that lol

Didn’t wanna invest in a dmg half or more of my teams wouldn’t use

[simple frost]

Sp atk up pow wouldve been nice for nc serena xd

Any up of sp.atk = damage upgrade

[hasty marlin]

I usually plan around the a10 combo the most when I think about dmg upgrades. Didn’t foresee me fitting her and a kantonian together while going for a big score esp when I didn’t have a tech/supp kantonian to help with a9

So honestly expected her to be half out the door in health

Turns out, her, calem, and Lenora is a better brute force team than I thought.

(And yes I exrd my Lenora cause Omni defense debuffs in rally make her so easy to slot in. No other reason lmao)

11040 isn’t too bad for a final score

Esp for a support/strike seed that didn’t use a lot of my 2xs

[simple frost]

Im waiting for reset so i can buy everything in shop o.o

[timid hound]

I'm waiting for reset so I can play the best game mode in PMEX

[mental raft]

BR should be twice weekly like DC!

[timid hound]

They should just let us enter for free without getting any BR points

[simple frost]

I want free mode for testing o.o

This one

Ah ok

Ah this. Essentially its 20% and +70% when they match

[rapid notch]

Guard chocolate came in clutch

[prisma gyro]

Almost full hp after 4 syncs from Palmer

[sudden heron]

2, first sync gives palmer +3

Still haven't had a run of something surviving his bmove

[vagrant oar]

Question

What does 2x2x1.7 give on Very Hard

1110?

Time to find out I guess

[digital otter]

My highest score ever!!!!!! 😀

[sudden hull]

(1+1+1+.7)*300

[vagrant oar]

Yeah I wasn't used to using Multis

Incidentally I failed to hit 11,000 points by my final battle because I didn't have another Tech/Field here

Had to settle for Lance who gave slightly lower

[limpid shale]

i bought the hp restore item but my characters arent healed??

[leaden wraith]

You have to go to Recovery menu to spend the items on your pairs

Keep in mind that purchasing healing items is not recommended, as you often have to change your pairs across the run

[limpid shale]

didnt see this, ty

sorry for putting in the wrong channel

[leaden wraith]

It's totally fine, we just want all helping about a specific content should belongs to the right channel to avoid clogging up other chats

How about your theme upgrades?

[limpid shale]

like theme skills? the only one ive upgraded was cynthias ground theme

[leaden wraith]

No no, not the pairs' theme skills

They are upgrades exclusive to the Battle Rally, the ones that you received at the start and purchased in the shop

[limpid shale]

Ohhhh

I havent bought any but this is what I got at the start

[leaden wraith]

That means you have to use an Ice type pair to activate the stat boost

Can you take screenshot of the rally shop?

Do note that the shop refreshes after each round, so make sure to check it often

[limpid shale]

I admit I used the full heal and a countdown item earlier

[leaden wraith]

It's not recommended to purchase one time use items unless you desperately need it to beat VH and you still get profit from using it

(check the pins for point chart, it will help you to calculate the points gained from each round)

[limpid shale]

Got it

[leaden wraith]

Looks like you can't beat Darach, because you lack enough theme boosts and your field effect setters are limited in terms of setting fields

So you should buy apple cup to clear VH

I highly recommend studying more about battle rally before you starts the next run, it will help you improve your scores

[limpid shale]

ty! i can try again tomrrow right?

[leaden wraith]

You can try whenever you have free time, the weekly reset also coming in a few hours

[limpid shale]

ohhh ok

[timid hound]

Did you use Apple Cup Vinny

Did you feel the raw skill flow through your veins as you clicked Low Sweep and did 99k

[molten ice]

So close to 12k but had to use 100 points at the end to win against VH Palmer.
Starting bonus sinnoh in team and got a full boosted bonus area

[fluid mountain]

Phew! What a puzzle of a battle did against Argenta UB A10 VH

[timid hound]

Wow excellent run

[crisp token]

Tasty tasty points

[fluid mountain]

Done with all stages on VH.

That Argenta UB battle! With a NC Silver physical tank build, did the syncs in that order: SS Nemona, NC Silver and AS Cynthia. Cynthia being the last was important to put ground rebuff down again on her once she reaches 50%. Before Argenta syncs, did a sun bait and switch to sandstorm just to get the Paldea Circle to stack it up on the Johto Circle, which made NC Silver and AS Cynthia survive (sorry SS Nemona ). Then Cynthia easily finished off the battle with circle, sand and zone boosted B-Move. What a fight!

Items used:

• 1 Villain Upgrade (starting)
• 3 Opp. Stats Down PU (150)
• 1 Drastic Parfait (100, for A10 VH)

[timid hound]

nice write up

[fluid mountain]

Thanks. I think it was one of my personal big IQ moments in the game

[timid hound]

Who needs a tank anyways

[fluid mountain]

I forgot the seed route on that comment

[fluid mountain]

Yeah

[leaden wraith]

Strike Sprint on A10 is

[fluid mountain]

Sure it is. And AS Cynthia will be my wildcard for A10 when strike is involved

[leaden wraith]

She has good matchup against some UBs yeah

[fluid mountain]

And most of them on 5/5. Very good

[half bone]

How do you beat the New Year Lance battle?

[leaden wraith]

Bring someone to cure/prevent Lance's status conditions if you can't use sleep or flinch bot

[prisma gyro]

(1+1+1+.7)×300=3.7×300
So yeah 1110

[normal python]

A5 Lucky Area with tech/support, hell yeah

[simple frost]

2400 take home?

[normal python]

And I got Kanto upgrade too

[normal python]

Brand new record

[mental raft]

Not many EXRs i can use!

[crisp token]

Well... interesting?

[timid hound]

Good thing psychic and tech go hand-in-hand?

[simple frost]

impressive spread ;o

smells like sinnoh. andd 3 options up hrm

oh its kalos.

hrm nothing good.

kinda weird mpizzaa is on G hrm

[simple frost]

whoa

[urban ledge]

Psychic upgrade is neat, ditto having opp stats down powerup haha

Not so much the all field thing

But hey gives me an excuse to unleash Arc Steven

[simple frost]

oh you got Unfortitous as well lol

its quite a comboo tbh

[urban ledge]

LMAO I didn’t even notice this one

Good catch

[simple frost]

its expensive but

it can work pretty well with lke 2-3 stacks of opp stat down pow

[urban ledge]

Yeah the only thing I’m hesitant about is that

Stats down source is plentiful lol

But eh screw it I got points to spare buying lol

[simple frost]

hrm unova huh

sp.atk too

guess i'll graab that

[stark zinc]

How many do i need this?

[simple frost]

pow upgrades are usually 2 to 3 stacks, with theme boost upgrades.

[stark zinc]

Ah i see, thanks!

[simple frost]

you can just buy one.... and buy a 2nd one if needed

@timid hound lol. funny. very funny.

[urban ledge]

The holy grail of powerups lol

[stark zinc]

Lol, lmao even

[mental raft]

[simple frost]

i got thorton today

[simple frost]

ddont think you can clear that anabel

[mental raft]

Yeah I am doing Hard!
I failed horribly against Anabel!

[stark zinc]

I should do this next reset so i can kek my anni raihan

[mental raft]

Guess how many sync buffs Argenta had before she knocked out based on the number of sync buffs I have!

Everyone is caked!

(Quadqueue is not possible here)

[stark zinc]

Quadqueue is impossible for Arc Steven team unless he has adrenaline

And that only works for HIS FIRST sync

[timid hound]

[simple frost]

10110 points, against thorton with Lysandre, Arc Cynthia and NC Blue .-.;

the moment the def to spdef happened, cynthia hit forr 250k with herr bmove, and 490k with her sync. lulz.

[fair ember]

Op clear

Ground weak Bruno with dragon upgrade and Strike Supp bonus

Marnie tanking

[simple frost]

which area?

[timid hound]

[sullen frigate]

hello , sorry how do i know the gimmick for the last floor of battle rally??

Its articuno

[leaden wraith]

Area 10 is always an Ultimate Battle, you can read about their info in #1009557516369281075 pins

[fair ember]

VH

[simple frost]

with area? lol

area 001 to area 009

[fair ember]

I think 6

[simple frost]

cool

[fair ember]

Im at 9 now and i got thru half with any bonus lolol

[fair ember]

High score!

Also finished this BR with one of the weirdest Lucy teams yet

Antitoxin on grid Thorton plus Field Support bonus

Red with Charged Immunity

And they both abuse electric terrain

[timid hound]

The beauty of Rally is in concocting weird teams that somehow work

[sweet mango]

I have enough pairs that my teams are somewhat meta within their role bonuses

[sullen frigate]

even with status change i cant seem to deal good enough dmg to articuno battle rally 10

Altho im off typing with both metagross as tank and dragonite as dos

dps**

[leaden wraith]

Can you show me your upgrades and featured roles please

[sullen frigate]

wait

[leaden wraith]

Both Steven and Lance already lowers rebuffs, no need to use Gordie

[sullen frigate]

whats a featured sync again?

oh that was for the hard challenge , since im losing hope

[leaden wraith]

*roles, like Field/Sprint

[sullen frigate]

garchomp died for the multi role

[timid hound]

A good sacrifice

[urban ledge]

Oh

Crap

Wrong route

This is my correct one

Yet it’s STILL mostly field lol

[sullen frigate]

i managed to get up to 60% with blissey doing burn

burn itself does alot of dmg

nvm haha im lacking damage

[urban ledge]

I AM

SO MAD RIGHT NOW

I almost fielded her in round 2 but had a bad feeling lol

Exr Arc suits make staircase seed a little less terrible now, since they can provide bonus on 2 consecutive stages (albeit only 1.7× instead of 2×)

[simple frost]

no gretaa gamin?

[urban ledge]

Hell no lol

[simple frost]

t's fine

[timid hound]

What is a staircase seed

[urban ledge]

Alright let’s see if this stupid team can work lol

[prisma gyro]

exhibit A: each stage after 1 contains a role from the previous stage, forming a staircase like pattern

[timid hound]

Interesting

[mental raft]

Seeds like
A2b
B4b

[mental raft]

Need a speed debuffer

[urban ledge]

Geez that went better than I thought lol

[mental raft]

Nice, you managed to win without speed debuffs!

[timid hound]

Damn AS Cynthia ate

[prisma gyro]

debuff their HP fast enough and you don't need to debuff their speed

[timid hound]

Why counter gimmick when you can K.O. them

[vocal spade]

Oh gods I just found out what Anabel's fight is in this mode... I guess I'm gonna play a lower difficulty

[mental raft]

Tudum!

I think this score is better than what I was expecting for this seed!

Arc Suits rocks with 1.7x multiplier!

AS Steve, SS Steven, SS Brendan and DC Wally made Hoenn upgrade a useful one!

[tardy flax]

so if I have multiple Tech+Support bonuses in my rally, is it better to
split up my Tech+Support units among the different battles units or can I use all 3 in one battle? which one has the better return? or does it not matter?

[wary cove]

ok so. normal multiplier, im thinking anabel for 4/5/6, larry for 7/8, redlax for 9/10? or would it be better to use redlax for 1/2 and infill with non-exrs for the remainder?

these are my normals

[obsidian sentinel]

This week it’s coming up Aurochs

[crisp token]

Done

VH Anabel, bought Guard Chocolat and a Water boost on the last floor, wasn't too bad

[limpid shale]

no cuz i couldnt beat it even with apple cup 😭

[stiff flume]

Consider Redlax for 7/8 instead, you'll need a support for those stage (unless you alrd have one for sprintfield)
Early stages are usually easy enough to not require theme boosts

[stiff flume]

It usually doesn't matter, and dumping roles early helps with teambuilding on later stages
But you can keep one or two (depending on your theme boosts) in case you'll find a Lucky area
So splitting is fine

Is this the best pattern ever?
Not a single overlapping stage and just one sprintfield

[crisp token]

Dammit I just realized I forgot to use Sollie for my Sprint Field stage

I've been so used to just having that combo be a no-match floor that I completely skipped over her even though she was highlighted

[wary cove]

gotcha. my thinking was to use ssa cynthia for 7/8/9/10 since shes one of my best and most invested units, but yeah that then means i need a second slot for a normal which means only one slot for super effective etc

[quiet apex]

Well this was an endurance match.

[quiet apex]

Another par for the course.
I got ass on R10. Sprint/Field Normal Anabel. Hard/VH Argenta

[rancid zodiac]

Lucy was quite unlucky, I was expecting Palmer or Anabel, but on very hard stage

[winged peak]

What Pokémon should I use for the first few stages of the battle rally

[leaden wraith]

It depends on your role pattern and upgrades

I highly recommend checking #1232035765954019338 first since you are seemed to be new to the gamemode
