Here's the thing
I have 3 strike sprints and buy cup
But there's the question of wtz
bronze aspen
Would Lillie help for the wtz?
I have kriss
The wtz isn't the problem, it's the fact darach is too bulky

Is there anything like ultra Jelly in the shop?

Just speed jelly

Lemme get an ss
As you can see I'm so desperate that I'm pulling out diantha despite her not having bonuses
urban ledge
Man it gets worse as you lower the difficulty too lol
bronze aspen
Im half tempted to use kriss over diantha and buy apple cup
mental raft
Buying apple cup with full bonus = 500 points lost!
Using an off role ice type wtz like Candice = 300 points lost!
I think first try without apple cup with Candice or BP Candice?

Last Rally, I got the "maybe it's a Lucky Area!" high-pitched stage-reveal foreshadow sound...
on round 10.
Yes, sure, very convincing. (This was the same Rally that ended in Nita/Palmer/Nita)
Needless to say, Area 10 was... not lucky

You can't be smart or strategic about it

I hate this role combo for the last round 
You can't do jack with this team
Also what's Nemona gimmick again?
simple frost
Also what's Nemona gimmick again?
basically, you need to confuse or restrain, she sets up e-terrain.
she sets up e-terrain whenevver she syncs
(she clears rebuffs/negative status change when she syncs)
viral loom
and no steel?
I'm still considering if buying a different buff and keep the full points team for Hard, but given it's Machamp, it's also a no-no 
simple frost
she also sets up e-terrain when she hits 60^ endurance
uh noland's kinda easy with enough damage.
you've got support
that means, you can do lana + falkner
variety thorton's actually pretty spicy there cuz he restrains each time
all you need are psychic terrain/grassy terrain
viral loom
Yeah, but I was thinking if giving up on the full points for hard and buying a buff would still be more profitable than applecupping Nemona with this one
And also if it was even doable
simple frost
what buffs do you even have in shop?
viral loom
Mmmm... Pizza 
viral loom
Protect spam with Anabel is a no brainer for Noland
simple frost
hrm
i suppose protect spam could work, but 800 - 100 is your earnings.
vs 5 matching -100 mpizza usage
since you'll need to change one of them for a gt/pt
and a steel-type
so you'd be down to 4 matching, 900 points -100mpizza
700 on hard vs 800 on vh basically.
viral loom
That would still be assuming I could do Nemona with just that tho, which I know almost nothing about 
Guess I'm buying pizza anyways
simple frost
all you really need to do is confuse her if you dont have rebuffs/restrain.
if you have atk debuffing, that's perfect too.
simple frost
depends on who you're running for nemona iirc.
simple frost
i think you can do uh ss morty
for support/field
so +4, 1 with gt or pt, and a steel-type that can do damage....
ss morty will be near impossible to kill with all the sun you need.
and potion mp refreshes.
it will really depend on who you're running into nemona
like post your steel-types
and post your grassy terrain/psychic terrain users

digital otter
oh no no. i have my list ready. I'm a noob - lit only have 9 ex role sync pairs total so I lit use the same syncs for this mode. It is literally impossible for me to fit three 2.x multipliers so this game is a little more less stressful in terms of that. It's more stressful in terms of how much and when do I buy the power ups.

ohhh myyy luckkk....
God the worst part is if it gave you a sprint on either of the two separators you could’ve kept going with Lillie. That’s rough

At least I got blessed at the last stage. I deserve Lucy for what you gave me.
digital otter
I can't even beat Lucy
400% power up. Will buying an extra 100% clear this?
This stupid game literally loves to piss me off by two straight non criticals.
mental raft
Lucy should be doable with that much boost!
digital otter
I just don't want to buy that extra 100 and then find out I cant clear it which is just wasting 100 points away.
Ofc it won't let us do test runs.

It happens. I know a guy who was kind of intimidated by CSMM until just like two months ago. Perpetually out of Spirits, so there was indeed a time where they had someone caked but not EXed.
You may wonder if the Rally is also intimidating to this person. It is, and they have not yet begun playing it. So, err, this example has no point.

the new ubs are utter bullshit
evelyn is also completely atrocious on vh because the opening luster purge will just one shot you unless you have initial guard or can drop her to neutral
which is hard because she starts with +2

I fought Nita on a previous week. The setup was basically perfect, Tech+Support, so I could use Neo Serena and Neo Leaf against her, both 3/5. It was still barely enough with 16× effective damage (3 theme boosts, 3 damage amps).
I was offended when she synced and the debuffs fell off.

No, only disabling immunities like sleep, freeze and/or flinch
Also Nemona has Grounding Wire, which means no negative status change while ET is up

This is impossible! I made it to like 7 sync. All stats -6 except speed. Center was like 80% and the others 100%. Doing no damage. 4 fairy type boost.
How I miss the old battles now...
leaden wraith
never let Nita have +1 speed at all, cuz she gains high dmg reduction passive
you might want to replace either NC Leaf or NC Serena with a speed debuffer
kindred seal
The description for NC Leaf's B move could be better...
simple frost
The description for NC Leaf's B move could be better...
basically, nc leaf can debuff as soon as you can -1 spd on your targets.
but without the -1 spd, nc leaf can only debuff the ones she can debuff, which is atk, def, sp.atk and sp.def
kindred seal
Kinda random. Definitely not reliable
leaden wraith
yes, that's why i suggested revisitting your comp
Nita buffs speed aggressively and she also resets debuffs after every sync
so most of time you can't even keep her speed below 0, and if you manage to do that, she will get to above 0 easily

Man, even with a consistent speed debuffer. Useless.

leaden wraith
correct

I just don't get it. Sync doesn't do nearly enough damage. It's still not winnable

I dont think there's anyone who can apply rebuff more than twice

can you try with NC Leaf instead of SS N? N is quite awkward
hmmm but NC Leaf has to deal with sandstorm later on

you better use attack form
normal python
Doesn't nemona clear negative status change on sync? Does that include rebuff?
Well, from what I've learned, those who are immune to disabling status don't have Resilience. So even if the sides have Friend Care 9, you can still reapply the negative status change infinitely
prisma gyro
Only Mo-oh. All tech supports are spent. Even if they weren't i doubt ncalem can be useful here.
leaden wraith
you can still apply negative status changes that are not part of interference trio when the Condition Nullification effect is in effect

move down to H then
Would it even have mattered though? His sync does nearly no damage here

Well 1 starter bug upgrade but it's irrelevant

how many boosts do you have? might have to revisit your move rotation to ensure Nita always has no positive speed buffs
because that sounds unbelievable

hmmm i don't have much hope tbh, can you show us your available roster?

Oh yeah
leaden wraith
How do you apply rebuff over and over again?
some pairs can apply rebuffs multiple times
prisma gyro
Which ones? I can only think of pairs that apply rebuff twice at most
leaden wraith
out of options you have shown me, only Cerena
but her rebuffs are ST
well there is Oleana but she can lower once
prisma gyro
She can only do it twice with 2 bmove uses
If pawmot syncs twice it's joever
Does this give nemona a timer like with palmer?
leaden wraith
being able to apply rebuff on the middle makes the sides an even bigger threat
and they have fat HP too
that's why i said no chance to beat VH unless you buy cup
prisma gyro
Yeah i'm just asking about how to counter her in general. Ignore my roster.
kindred seal
This is sync damage from N. On center. So meager. Mega sync tier.
simple frost
terrain change and rebuff/restrain/confuse. she doesnt have resilience so you can keep inflicting her with confuse.
leaden wraith
if so you need aoe rebuff unit and someone to summon terrain multiple times
leaden wraith
This is sync damage from N. On center. So meager. Mega sync tier.
unfortunately going to H is strongly advised for you
kindred seal
Unfortunately....
These battles are the worst thing to be added to the game
Gonna send another complaint again
Hard was trivial, as expected for having 5 type boosts and 2 se boosts. That Nita battle is completely unwinnable. It's insane they thought this was okay.
prisma gyro
I think i'm gonna start planning BR runs with the assumption that i'm picking H on a10 from now on
leaden wraith
don't worry about that, i'm sure you can still beat VH ||with apple cup|| 
kindred seal
I think i'm gonna start planning BR runs with the assumption that i'm picking H ...
Which means not holding back your units, right? I used to always save my Rei for the chance of getting Palmer. How I miss that now...
prisma gyro
Dropping to H on a10 loses you 250 points at least (assuming you use the same VH team for H).
Using a specific UB counter unit for role bonus earns you 150 points.
Hmmm i never really thought about it that way.

<@789432758258237490> any advice?
Sorry but UBs are not my expertise!
Specially the new UBs
wary cove
fair enough o7

Wait for someone else to answer how to tackle those
wary cove
does an apple cup even do anything here. bleugh
ok. shop has perma hail. if i buy perma hail, ice upgrade, and try to use candice... maybe i can clear normal??
wait then i have no speed control

You can do normal without any upgrade
But it is not recommended

Who can advise you better
wary cove
with all due respect, i dont think i would be half as upset by this if i had either of those. or any half-decent ice unit
my ghetsis isnt even ex lmao
theres not a Great way to show used units bc of the br format but
current unavailable units are shauna, sygna erika, wikstrom, 5a lillie, larry, nessa, ssr cyn, arc cyn, redlax, bp erika, brendan, sygna leon, colress, and sygna red, with currently equipped team being rika, bertha, and mallow
i have arc steven, but i definitely cant kill nita through sand and i dont think i have any unit who can counter giovanni well enough
normal python
Hmmmm, do I buy perma GT incase I get Nemona, Darach or Argenta?
wary cove
yeah, no dual spatk/atk debuffer
normal python
censored for discord rules: im gonna throw my phone off a bridge
Also why did you buy so many upgrades?
wary cove
because i have a very slim roster and need all the help i can get?
like
5k points is Fine to me
i care more about the 300g than the points
this is the fewest buffs ive ever bought, and i only barely made it this far with multiple units getting ko'd
normal python
Hmmmm, do I buy perma GT incase I get Nemona, Darach or Argenta? <:HilbertHmm:62...
Any thoughts before I clear the current level?
normal python
Well, A10 for me is strike/support
I have all the gimmick counters except for field
And maybe except speed debuffs
mental raft
1st of all there are many UBs so there is a high chance you might not need that permanent Grassy Terain
And Argenta required weather change not terrain change
Mostly
mental raft
But it is not much of an issue
mental raft
i care more about the 300g than the points
Maybe try Hard battle against Gio with all the upgrade and boosts you have!
Don't buy anything!
But Rika Bertha and Mallow is not enough I think
normal python
I got a god seed with a god upgrade
dusk eagle
What's best for Nita on strike support?
Sinnoh Alola boost
Can buy a steel upgrade too
normal python
Hmmmm, Noland by A10
Do I Wide Guard his ass or do I just go straight to hard?
Need help here before I take this on
Maybe I'll buy my upgrades before I take him on
wary cove
Maybe try Hard battle against Gio with all the upgrade and boosts you have!
does hail count as a field effect for giovanni's passive? if so, i could buy the hail upgrade, bring arc steven, janine for venom drench, and then rika for bmove poison?
mental raft
What team are you using?
wary cove
i would be taking chip hail damage the whole time but
normal python
does hail count as a field effect for giovanni's passive? if so, i could buy the...
Any field effect, whether weather, terrain, zone or damage field

What team are you using?
I'm planning a full bonus team, but doesn't seem possible (NC Blue/Zerena/Emma)
mental raft
His fisures will OHKO you
wary cove
hm. so maybe bertha stays on then, since she has 2/2 stealth rock w/ mpr and 1/2 sand + sand on entry
mental raft
Use Falkner and use his Fly move to avoid fisure!
wary cove
making poison more annoying to set up since it means janine cross poison is our source
but
normal python
NC Blue has Initial Guard, so yeah, he stays
Actually, NC Blue stays anyways since my main boost is champion
wary cove
wait shit
janine bertha steven removes my multiplier
gdi
i hate br so goddamn much
mental raft
Actually, NC Blue stays anyways since my main boost is champion
Try it, if it don't work try using Falkner instead of Zerena or Emma
mental raft
janine bertha steven removes my multiplier
If you are doing it for gems then do it!
Because not much time left to think
normal python
Try it, if it don't work try using Falkner instead of Zerena or Emma
You forget what I said, NC Blue has Initial Guard, so he at least avoids the 1st Fissure
mental raft
But Noland hits fisure every other sync
It is like Fisure Sync Earthquake Sync repeat
wary cove
i think i just have to do normal with like. bp lusamine (no multiplier), non-ex ghetsis, and exr arc steven and then hope it works
i doubt thats enough speed for glaciate but
mental raft
i think i just have to do normal with like. bp lusamine (no multiplier), non-ex ...
It will work! Normal battles are way too easy!
Try using full role bonus I would say
wary cove
full role bonus would mean i have no way to overwrite sand
because i used sygna erika already
mental raft
Still give it a try!
Use Rika, Ghetsis and someone like Candice or Winona
They are tech and can replace weather
Also Blaine
wary cove
but i only have 1x ice mult, because i went in on grass due to having actual grass units

basically, you try to get 3 matching pairs (and if you have ex roles, 4 or more) as much as possible as you grind from area 01 to area 09
oh the very hard variety.
until a010, you try vh first, if it fails, do hard, if that also fails, go apple cup on very hard. normal is bad.

Try the VH stages, if you can't do it we can help you with gimmicks
Doing Hard or Normal stages will give you less rewards
Less rewards = less ExRs

Status boost or interference boost?
Status Condition Power. Just Paralyze or Poison

aren't most UBs immune to status conditions? or recover quickly and gain condition nullification?

So now I'm well into a rally points surplus though. With next week's still to come, I might even be able to buy out one of the good items completely in one go
molten ice
Starting bonus was Flying in team, found Kanto in team bonus and bought it twice, one of them on discount, also bought crit power once.
VH was Darach, I could have gotten 450 more points in area 1 but I risked it and did not use my tech/support double points because the seed was not shown until I put the area 2 types and there was no more tech/support floors later
Lucky full boosted area 7
oak jolt
Personally I always go for max points area 1, unless all the possible seeds have at least a repeat for area 1, is more likely that I will get a seed without a repeat, than getting a repeat and a lucky stage on the repeat, even with a repeat the total score will be the same if the repeat isn't a lucky stage, so why risk it?
Run saved by max multiplier lucky stage, because the seed was pretty harsh for me, 2 sprint field, and a tech sprint that for me is even worse than sprint field, since at least i have lillie for it but no sprint tech so far (my best bet is arc lance, i have some "potential tech sprints" but they are 1/5 and i don't want to commit Rolex just for br multipliers)
molten ice
I did it because this seed start has 4 possible ways and 3 of those had tech/support repeat, but I will keep that in mind for next time

it requires a bit of knowing what your sync pairs can do tbh....

some striker pairs can tank a hit or 3, like Hilda and Elesa in a Strike Role Bonus area.
