Why did I use Akari so early <:LarryDead:1090014801654198383> <:LarryDead:109001...
she doesnt really help in this case
zealous plover
Nope
simple frost
https://youtu.be/ml1DSCo6xDM this was my battle for Area 10 Giovanni @sudden hull
i didnt have ball guy or uh
a stat cleanser
zealous plover
You had 5x crit power up and arc cynthia
simple frost
so, if you have enough damage, you could theoretically destroy him....
I think nita is doable.
with the theme boosts you've got.
NC Blue + Lodge Elesa + a weather remover OR weather change from Sandstorm to anytihng else.
zealous plover
I do have lodge elesa! Why her though? I've never fought Nita
simple frost
nita requires spd debuffing and weather change. lodge elesa can debuff spd, is a support
and is Unova
simple frost
SPD debuffing.
zealous plover
I managed to do it with NC Blue, Lodge Elesa and BP Lusamine! Thank you so much!
I don't think Lodge Elesa has any special defense debuffing
bronze aspen
I still have sst red, who can i pair him with? Am i fucked? Should i go to kukui?
leaden wraith
With those theme skills you can tank Nita's attacks safely
But the frogs are not really helping much, i think
Can you show us your Kanto, Dragon and Psychic roster
bronze aspen
But the frogs are not really helping much, i think
I used the frogs from last area, they'll be the ones being replaced
leaden wraith
Hmmm this is quite tough to plan
Red alone is not enough to debuff speed
How about showing all of your available Tech / Field? I don't think you can slot in both Dragon and Psychic pairs
bronze aspen
There are too many techs! I don't have irida though.
Here are my fields
And the ones whose ex roles fit
Here is my shop if it comes down to it
What are Nita's gimmicks?
simple frost
change weather and debuff their spd.
hrm. honestly i'm thinking of you doing ss morty, sst red and if she's still available, Courtney
checks the spd debuffing
if all else fails, buy an Ultra Jelly
bronze aspen
I used these!
prisma gyro
The last 20 cake coin vouchers
prisma gyro
And the ones whose ex roles fit
Why did your sstr become one with the void?

Why did your sstr become one with the void?

Don't judge him he's going into his rebellious phase
crisp token
He's...gone dark
twilit chasm
So basically i just need heavy debuff?
twilit chasm
Gym leader seems suck to take that role 
mental raft
No Lenora? For both defense debuffs?
timid oasis
Anni Skyla too 
twilit chasm
many seasonal has no trainer class theme skill but this is her base unit, she should have one
wtf dena was thinking
mortal gull
Because she retired in B2W2?
mental raft
Just realize she has no gym leader theme skill ๐ wtf is this bs
DeNA fucked up
leaden wraith
Askually she and Avery are the minor division gym leaders ๐ค
twilit chasm
Because she retired in B2W2?
how about blue and alder still have champion theme skill even when they are ex champions already?
i will never understand why blue has champion theme when his base's literally with hgss outfit

Starting bonus was Rival in team, bought it once and a crit power, VH was Argenta, no lucky area this week but almost 11k so Im happy with that
kindred seal
I'm having trouble with this battle. These detestable Field/Sprint combos. I've got 4 Champion and 2 Villain boosts. But there's only one villain in those roles, none of which I have available
simple frost
I'm having trouble with this battle. These detestable Field/Sprint combos. I've ...
this thing? orz.
simple frost
have you tried it yet?
kindred seal
Yeah. I failed like 4 times already. I don't know why I'm not just sweeping this battle. I've met all the conditions
simple frost
what's the % of the middle?
kindred seal
Like 30%. Let me try again
simple frost
anything in shop that can help? like a damage boost or something?
kindred seal
I already bought my 4th Champion boost for this here
leaden wraith
I'm having trouble with this battle. These detestable Field/Sprint combos. I've ...
are you using Lance's Hyper Beam most of the time? the stage has Sentry Entry x2 so it's better not to use Giga Impact more than once
also you can try tanking with Lance, he has better bulk than Lillie and heals after hitting
kindred seal
Well, there we go. More Hyper Beam did help. As did putting Nerves of Steel on Lillie to tank better. And some lucky flinches too
I guess I'll have to EX Role one of the Rocket admins after this. Getting the Villain role really locked me out of these field and sprint battles
kindred seal
And the Nemona battle cleared with the same boosts. Ended up not using the villain boost because taking out terrain matters more than the 200% boost
simple frost
dang ss lana really made to counter her ๐ฎ
kindred seal
Yeah, pretty much. Feels good to be on the good end of these
void sleet
Few questions abt this mode
- Will the combination repeat in 1 run?
- How to decide what to buy from shop, is apple cup worth?
- Is there anyway to change the type buff they provide from the beginning?
leaden wraith
- The role pattern you got may have repeated role combinations
- Check the pins for tips, usually it's best to avoid most items in the second and third row, and the value of theme skill upgrades depends on your roster
- You can't remove any upgrades, but you can always purchase different theme skill upgrades in the shop, if there are any
I highly recommend giving #1232035765954019338 a careful read. A lot of tips and answers to frequently asked questions can be found there

wary cove
it is once again time to suffer (do br)
wary cove
my kingdom for not getting the stupid 'oops all [role]' patterns
ok. my sprints are:
- riley (str)
- larry (tech)
- 5a lillie (field)
- ssa cyn (supp)
- redlax (supp)
- dc hugh
- dc blue
- dc wally
and i could cake either variety sawyer, poppy, or nidoak to be a supp sprint for points if need be
i probably want to use larry for 8/9/10; riley would be optimal for 9 but maybe we just put him in 1/2/3 for 2x on 3; sprint/field being both 2 and 6 is very annoying for lillie but she could be 6/7 for field?
locking myself out of both ssa cyn and redlax feels stupid, but i feel like its better to get the 2x on 1 and 5 than not
pearl lion
Redlax more important for R10 i think
pearl lion
sure use ssa cynthia
wary cove
sorry i think im not understanding what you mean
wary cove
i was parsing what you said as saying save redlax for r10, but then pointing out i have tech/going for an alternate tank, presumably instead of redlax
pearl lion
redlax is more for rushing certain R10s
pearl lion
Palmer is such a pain in the ass
wary cove
hes far and away my easiest in a br context
pearl lion
true
wary cove
psy weak
piercing gaze
wary cove
pick one my only non-evasion or glass cannon psychic is bianca
and she can only take so much
pearl lion
I have invested velio but shes still annoying enough id rather drop difficulty than see her annoying ass
she just wont fucking die
wary cove
ok. so.
do i throw this sprint cake at:
a) variety sawyer or nidoak for a non-redlax second 2x multiplier (prob on stage 5)
2) poppy for 2x on 3
3) no one and save it
leaden wraith
Since any role cake investment benefits your future rally run, so it's best to cake pairs who perform great when caked across different contents
Poppy for example doesn't gain much from sprint cake
urban ledge
If youโre gonna have Arc from this point on yeah
Unless the enemy heals rebuffs lol
wary cove
i dont have either planned to use, but i could put arc cyn in for any +strike or arc steven for any +supp (or penny with disarming voice as another supp)
simple frost
hm. is this worth grabbing for arc value?
Infinite barrier o.o.wasnt that 150cost?
wary cove
yes, but i dont go for 11k or w/e
5-6 is fine
i usually grab both reflect and barrier
if the shop has them i should say
game has been kind again
sprint/field 6 is steel weak when i saved lillie for it
...
my final area is mr easy, thorton hard, and leon vh
stark zinc
Thorton hard
stark zinc
What's your team?
stark zinc
You can't do anything against leon anyway
wary cove
yeah definitely not
thorton is my best chance since i have larry for 2x anyway
so thats
1x hyper drill rebuff for on-type and 2 for normal
stark zinc
Tech sprint?
wary cove
lemme finish round 9 first lol
stark zinc
Aight
wary cove
ive taken to doing round 9 regular goggles to preview 10
so i have more time to figure it out
ok. sinnoh is - ssa cyn for 1-5; ssr cyn for a ghost weak stage; & arc cyn for 7 bc i had Nothing for that. mc is - calem (needed para) and victor
and here is final shop
my instinct is thorton w/ sygna red + blaine to set sun for him
and then use larry for rebuff
but then i have no sinnoh, which is my highest multiplier, so i would rather not
(start was poison and uh. lmao no)
so then 1.2 arc steven, 2 larry, and a sinnoh?
wary cove
yeah :(
stark zinc
Try this
SS Red
Redlax (Tank)
Larry
wary cove
even without sinnoh mult? or will i need to buy apple cup
stark zinc
SS Red with just 1 rebuff may not be good, but it should get help from SEUN from Redlax
You have MC
And rebuff boost
stark zinc
Redlax is caked right?
wary cove
ye
stark zinc
And SS Red?
wary cove
all 3 are caked, redlax and sygna red are both ex
stark zinc
Yeah go give a try
wary cove
and if we run into trouble, i can try grabbing the +1smun before i fully fold
wary cove
goddamn
that was
surprisingly easy??
i could not have done that without your guidance, ty
wary cove
you have more confidence than i do dfjdfg

I tried Hard Nemona and my team died in the blink of an eye!

i mean, try without apple cup, i'm sure you've got like multiple weather setters that's not sandstorm
mental raft
Let me try!
simple frost
all you need is a spd debuffer as well
mental raft
No support sprint weather setter!!
simple frost
RIP

Hard Nemona ate him already lol....
yeah, not much to do, then eat the forbidden fruit~
man one of these days i'll have to eat Apple Cup. until then, hit hard and fast~
mental raft
But would Apple Cup be enough to deal with Nita in Sandstorm?
simple frost
if the big red button still can't be cleared with, i'd grab a Support Eggmon with Rain Dance or something.
but try with your current team
mental raft
Okay
simple frost
just remember, apple cup has multiple effects

I am disappointed with what I have
I will try it sometime later

aight
leaden wraith
I don't think that team is capable of beating her, even with apple cup
You can't catch up with her speed buffs, after her first sync
leaden wraith
She is still unreliable
Especially when Nita uses her TM to buff +4 speed instantly
mental raft
Can Normal Noland kill me with fissure?
mental raft
No Palmer! <:LarryDead:1090014801654198383>
leaden wraith
Fissure is one hit ko, regardless of difficulty
I think it's better to use cup against Nemona
Or at least try an attempt against Nita
mental raft
Both Nita and Nemona are healing themselves at a rate I cannot even catch up!
With damage
Maybe I should tank Noland with event Oak protect
leaden wraith
Are you using apple cup
mental raft
No
mental raft
Oh okay
leaden wraith
And never touch normal btw
simple frost
how's the seed though / a01 shop?

A worse Alola haha
Havenโt checked yet hold on
Well no sprint field at least but yeesh
Shop only has Kalos upgrade lol
simple frost
they dont have support sprints though.
mental raft
And never touch normal btw
I think I have a better chance against Normal!
VH + 
= 550 points (uncertain)
H + = 200 points (uncertain)
N = 350 points with the same team!
Should I still buy the cup if it's uncertain even after that?
Uncertain because no replacement for WTZ
leaden wraith
Hmmm yeah this is quite tricky
simple frost
Uncertain because no replacement for WTZ
any support eggmons with sun or rain?
fossil bramble
Yeah eggmon is probably the best bet
Another option is replacing Rei outright with a Sinnoh weather setter, regardless of role. Still will have (50) more bonus than Normal with the same team
Wait does Arc Cynthia still have her Sandstorm TM left
Wait.
Sand
Hmmm
Actually is there any non-Sandstorm setter in Sinnoh
leaden wraith
The problem is not only weather, but also speed debuffing
Nita is aggressive at buffing her speed later on
fossil bramble
Doesn't deal with the debuff
leaden wraith
It only debuffs -6 on entry, which is override easily
Not to mention that she resets debuffs to 0 every time she syncs
leaden wraith
Nita is bullshit, better avoid fighting her unless you have desired buffs
stark zinc

which area and how many stacks?

SS Diantha could debuff spd and defenses, but, i think you''re saving her for another area?

hrm, perhaps you can do oleana + ss leaf? ss leaf can badly poison + def/spdef debuffing, Oleana can debuff spd/atk/sp.atk
should help ss steven to tank a bit better

I was going to use Darach but realized I canโt since I need someone with Champion theme skill
And I already used Blue
I really donโt have many options
mental raft
You can easily offtype with 3 champion boosts I guess
Try NC Marnie
Wait nobody is tech or support
If you can support cake Marnie it would be better score
tight escarp
I probably wonโt be able to till I get the points ๐ญ
And idk abt Marnie since I already used her Tm
mental raft
Okay
Gimme a second to calculate
Do you have anyone with tech/support double role bonus available?
tight escarp
Nope unfortunately

Okay!
So you will get 600 points in VH!
Try with Cynthia as an attacker!

How much HP remaining for Anabel just before she KO your team?

Yes, I died after he did his second earthquake
I was thinking maybe Roxanne but it will take me more rng for wide guard mpr
zealous plover
How much HP remaining for Anabel just before she KO your team?
Uhhh like in the 70s?
mental raft
The 100 points guard chocolate will save you from damage from any move and it will reduce the damage from Sync Moves!
You can try it!
It will create damage guard up next whenever you will use a move successfully
In that case I think you can run a tech damage dealer instead of Falkner or Lana
And also try a very good tech nuker instead of Cynthia!
Hopefully you will win without a champion in that case!
Guard chocolate is best against Noland
tight escarp
Ooh I lucked out then 
mental raft
But remember to queue moves just after Noland sync because he will unleash an earthquake after every other sync
tight escarp

You donโt need to highly invest in them since theyโre mostly there for the upgrade buff

Iโve unfortunately had support sprint on A10 many times where I was too stubborn to quit lol.
I actually went 6 fights in a row with this team one time since I just could and tbh didnโt have much else to use.
fossil bramble
I usually just do two of them and the other with either Support or Sprint
mental raft
So now I know next time I should do Apple Cup straight away without doubting!
astral path
If there is for whatever reason ever a full support sprint I will just click this team and pray for Psychic or Champion bonus at the start since I donโt like to use points unless itโs apple cup at the end
If you have these three itโs pretty easy if not time consuming. Just do go viral Rosa with trouble maker and +20 acc on sing, Cynthia does TMPR at start and sync, and Dawn just kinda hangs out for Moonblast DPS.

I tried both Nemona Hard and Nita VH without Apple Cup and they are healing themselves like crazy

So I gave up
simple frost
Do you think they can clear VH Nita too?
Which I got in my A10
needs speed debuffs or weather setter (rain/sunny)
astral path
Yeah, Nemonaโs was hard because of healing and tripple defense there since I couldnโt get rid of terrain. Same reason Suicune fight is hard since I canโt get rid of rain on that team.
But since Rosa was able to benefit from the SEUN I just made sure she was always syncing, using B move to bring back to psychic, and Sync again. Without that I wouldโve likely had to replace someone on the team to deal with terrain.
astral path

Tbh if she did not have Electrorepulsion or heal, I think I could do it
AS Steven is so fking tanky it's insane
Unfortunately it just overwhelms him if it's a two pronged fight like that
leaden wraith
the inability to debuff her is also a huge roadblock, on top of her fat HP
the sides are also bulky as hell
timid hound
Gosh she is just so lovely as an A10 boss isn't she?
ionic sigil
I just cleared VH Nemona but it was miserable with 3 matching theme boosts and 3 Crit Powerups. SS Acerola, SS Lusamine and NC Blue. Truly unbalanced as heck
ionic sigil
Yep
SS Acerola was worthless outside of initial Grassy Terrain (1/5)
Took like 20 resets. One of the times I probably wouldโve won if SS Acerola didnโt roll 2 hits on Bullet Seed as Nemona was on 1% HP before the attack
timid hound
This better work
Dear Arceus help me
Lemme try SS Mina instead
Oh wait I can't
AHHHHH
Okay I just have to time SS Acerola's sync to when Nemo's HP dips below 60%
Dear Arceus help me :
I might have to buy another Galar boost
Or maybe I replace Rose with a more defensive option?
timid hound
Nah, I think this is perfectly beatable
My damage is good enough
It's just unfortunate timing
Namely: when Nemo HP hits 60%, ET activates
But then, when Nemo syncs, ET activates again
Between that ET, Hyper Voice is used, so I need to find a way to retain non-ET WTZ before sync and sync after Nemo syncs
But there's also the issue of SS Acerola not being extremely bulky to begin with lol
No emergency healing either
leaden wraith
having no WTZ on demand really sucks
not to mention that Cynthia has to sync once to lower rebuff after Nemo cleanses it
timid hound
WHAT
shit shit shit
I was syncing with Cyn first and then SS Ace
So I should sync with Cyn after?
uGH
timid hound
Who allowed Nemo UB to survive
Gonna buy another crit power up and see if that changes things drastically enough
Dear Arceus this is impossible
Really have to damage juggle

had access to Lana & Falkner with NC Leaf
the theme boosts help with his sync damage, but you can destoy his endurances with 2 or more power boosts.

Cant survive at first sync. I need to beat it faster or survive at post-sync. Lyra can only make them stay longer until their first sync but all of them dont have burst dmg. Beating a9 (at least nemona stage specifically) without any boost is likely impossible.

Lyra can flinch lock them, as long as the enemies don't have Resilience and the allies provide enough gauge
What team are you trying

I guess the team shown in the screenshot
SSTR, SS Diantha and SS Lyra

My UB record since update has been Leon into Nemona into Masked Royal into Leon, and I think another new UB as well
fair ember
So how did u clear Leon?

I got Leon into Tech Field Nemona (very funny DeNA) into Strike Sprint Noland, into Masked Royal, into Leon again this week
Itโs so funny how this game lost all of its fun the moment I couldnโt genuinely attempt the VH UB stages even with powerups
They need to revert the new UBs and go back to the OG 6

The OG6 still felt manageable, but the new UBs are definitely a distinct increase in difficulty imo
