Battle Rally

[tender hollow]

is it actually just better off doing easy

[fossil bramble]

I want to say but idk if it can brute force Leon

[tender hollow]

prob not

no status on the team

[fossil bramble]

Any of the 1.5 who can status?

[tender hollow]

therefore no crits

lets see

10% freeze NC Bede

30% poison Petrel

10% freeze Wulfric (lol)

10% freeze Pryce

[fossil bramble]

Idk if you have, but I'll ask just in case

Do you have 3/5 SSA Cynthia

[tender hollow]

gone

[fossil bramble]

Oof

[tender hollow]

used her for a dreadful sprint/support stage

[fossil bramble]

I remember she can inflict para

[tender hollow]

no reliable status outside of....DC Wally

yeah not liking this

think ill just do easy...

this couldve been a new high rally score but nope, the ub ends it

[fossil bramble]

Maybe wait a bit for others to pitch in

[tender hollow]

not sure what they can do since I have no units to properly counter Nita OR Leon

just gonna finish this

[fossil bramble]

[tender hollow]

ik SS Gladion at least cant get statused but that still wont be enough

[leaden wraith]

that's rough

do you have any Strike Sprint units that can setup WTZ multiple times?

Leon demands status and WTZ

and sleep immunity

[tender hollow]

nope

and finished easy anyway

NONE of my strike sprints can even do WTZ once.

[leaden wraith]

would be wiser if you bought apple cup and clear VH

[tender hollow]

how would that even have helped in all honesty

with no WTZ or status

[leaden wraith]

you have DC Wally and Anni Skyla

yeah you have to give up on role bonuses but that's still better than clearing Easy

[tender hollow]

for future reference

what wouldve Skyla even done

[leaden wraith]

setting Flying Zone

[tender hollow]

ohhhhh

[urban ledge]

Support run and nothing helpful in shop

[urban ledge]

Steel upgrade is tempting. Galar too with all the DC sprints and fields lol

[simple frost]

rival? hrm

[urban ledge]

Honestly Rival is pretty solid for me

[simple frost]

3 paths though

4 paths rather

this is kinda funny

dragon zone + dragon zone power combo

kinda funny

[dull spire]

Dragon Ball moment.

[simple frost]

www

[urban ledge]

Sometimes the stars align

[simple frost]

oh god

its TECH ORIENTED

mega rip.

Thankfully i can reuse NC Calem and NC Serena here

SS Blue, not so much :x

[dull spire]

If only you get a support oriented, Zerena will be smiling.

[simple frost]

whoa... seriously?

Grass Terrain Power AND Grass Terrain?

expensive, but it is an actual combo hrm.

[urban ledge]

I wish I got a combo

[simple frost]

Ohhhh this is a spicy buff.

problem is tech oriented. not a lot of tech / support that can buff SP.DEF hrm

whoa. why is shop giving me such nice combos.

nice.

ARGH, She had endure. rough.

dangit, another bc ;_;

[serene spoke]

U get good buffs???

[simple frost]

you can't make this is up. I need to know what's coming next lmao

ANABEL

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! SHE IS HERE

Hrm

either way, i have to take anabel

yep apple cup it is lmao

no damage upgrade that was useable

ah wells

[mental raft]

I didn't enjoyed this run!

Thankyou Trial Giver!

[simple frost]

lmao, she died from a bind

[mental raft]

But Evelyn is very easy with Apple Cup unlike the other new UBs!

Greta BC and Trial Giver!
That combo just forced me to do hard!

[mental raft]

We got the same seed, and had to Apple Cup at the end!

I don't like this seed for triple Tech/Field!

I have none of that!

[simple frost]

i have 4

i only really used 3

[mental raft]

This seed is sooooo bad, I couldn't use some of my best pairs including NC Rosa, AS Steven and AS Cynthia!

I hope I never get this seed again!

[simple frost]

urgh

i would've done better with the other seeds

[mental raft]

True!

This seed is anti-fun

[fossil bramble]

RIP

[timid oasis]

[fossil bramble]

Looks like bad seed for people this week?

[mental raft]

But what is your final score?

I can't see it anywhere??

[timid oasis]

I thought u got only 7k for a second

[mental raft]

It was there to show I had to use the Choco Guard A7!

[simple frost]

9020

i just posted my clear in #1010274591601598555

[mental raft]

Okay!

[urban ledge]

Hmm

I ALMOST got this battle I think

How many times does Argenta reset rain?

At the start and when she hits 50%… anytime else?

[simple frost]

checking

yeah just when you hit her Endurance

only entry + 50% endurance

[urban ledge]

Thanks yeah

Alright switching everyone’s cookie so they all have Vigilance lol

Frick lost count of HP and let her sync under rain lol

Hmm nah this party can’t do it with this much boost. Unless I’m forgetting a source of rebuff somewhere

Ooh gonna try SS Lyra instead of Geeta

[mental raft]

Tech?

[urban ledge]

Nah worse results looks like I’ll have to get more boosts haha

Support field

[mental raft]

Oops I get confused with SS Erika for some reason!

[urban ledge]

Ah lol

Well they are green girls

[mental raft]

I guess you can try saving AS Steven sync past 50% Argenta HP!

For rebuffs

[urban ledge]

Huh it gives rebuffs too? Too late haha

Just needed to buy another steel boost thankfully

Made all the difference lol

[mental raft]

It's a great score!

[fair ember]

Got all the units but no bonus

Apple cup then

Infinite geeta tm is fun

[urban ledge]

Oh hey we both deployed Geeta on Argenta haha

[normal python]

Apple Cup

[brazen jungle]

Giobanni again

[muted sparrow]

[serene spoke]

Dubs

Nvm :/

Anything worth buying

[mental raft]

Opponents stats down power up

3rd from left

[muted sparrow]

[serene spoke]

Rip

[serene spoke]

What about seup?

[mental raft]

Your pairs debuff at least one stat almost every battle!

And even a single stat down can power up your attack by double

With that PU

It's basically one of the best PU!

It doesn't even ask for a specific stat, any stat will work!

And many F2P pairs debuff stats too!

[serene spoke]

Hm alr

[mental raft]

It's not worth it!

All of your teammates won't be ontype!

[serene spoke]

Ok

[muted sparrow]

[mental raft]

Only 75 points spent!

And above 13000!

Pykuo I wonder how you do these miraculous clears! Admirable!!

[muted sparrow]

Sadly i never record my Rally run

Bc 90% just flinch/sleep

[mental raft]

Pain

I try that but fail most of the time, or barely do it!

[leaden wraith]

Pypy stole my rally run luck ||for legal reason this is a joke||

[muted sparrow]

You need to know what you want to do with sleep

Mostly queue more move

[mental raft]

You are just 300 points short on the maximum possible score!

[muted sparrow]

Yeah, i only have 2 Sprint/Field

Kinda miss that

[mental raft]

[muted sparrow]

This seed just too good for me

<- 12 Tech/Sup

[mental raft]

9 of two role combos!

[muted sparrow]

[mental raft]

It's a nightmare seed for me!

[muted sparrow]

I just decided to cake a ton of Striker/Sprint

Just bc i met it too much

[mental raft]

I wish Gakon you get 13700 points before Pykuo!

[tight escarp]

Seems like this week everyone is getting some type of triple role seeds

Or step ladder

Or whatever it’s called

[timid oasis]

Me to this seed

[worldly bear]

actually gross

[mental raft]

That's a good seed for me!

[worldly bear]

you can have it

[mental raft]

[worldly bear]

this is my sprint/ field roster

[mental raft]

You have 6 of them! It's doable!

[worldly bear]

thats true

i'd have to off-type tho

unless one of em has a water weakness

[mental raft]

Offtype is easier with boosts!

[worldly bear]

also very true

and im only a3 rn, so it shouldn't be much of an issue regardless

[quiet tiger]

A story in three images (10,400 points, wish I recorded it)

[worldly bear]

yeah sure i'll try that

no one look at my a9 i dont wanna talk about it

[tight escarp]

I’m going to cry I do NOT want to do this weeks battle rally

My only sprint units

[urban ledge]

Oof

Fortunately DC provides a ton of them for ‘free’

[fickle drum]

Guard chocolate hard counters Noland better than lmao, clapped him with almost no boosts

[urban ledge]

Apple cup doesn’t have Damage Guard Next?

[fickle drum]

Think it reduces damage taken, but that doesn’t protect against fissure, also 500 pts cost lol

[quiet apex]

SS Ethan the tank

[quiet apex]

Another one done

[tight escarp]

Dps Aaron

[urban ledge]

Yikes

[tight escarp]

Luckily it was A1 so it wasn’t that hard

[tight escarp]

A little conflicted on what to do here, I was almost able to beat VH, I sync’d with Lucian 2 times which killed the middle but then I die to side mons, should I buy the opp attack down power up thingy or the sinnoh upgrade

I could also just use SS Lusamine (EXR) to cheese the stage but I feel like she would be more useful in A5 just incase

[mental raft]

The power up is great!

I prefer it over another theme boost!

[mental raft]

This week's BR!

[void sleet]

This looks like Roxie piers stage

But why????

Is like DeNA just try to fk with player atp

Just wanted to make player suffer, not even abt promoting units

[dull spire]

DeNa might answer you : "This is what we called RNG!"

[sudden hull]

ur right because it is

[void sleet]

This is the worst shit every implement in this game

Even 500 pity is not this bad

I need to take this shit every week for 300 gems is some next lvl bs

[sudden hull]

the mew ubs are what make rally bs

they’re so specific which goes against the entire premise of br

[mental raft]

The extra gems required for Arc Pity is 9000 which is 30*300 from BR!
What is worse!

And moving down to hard is always available!

[tight escarp]

HAHAAHAHAHAH I KNEW SAVING REI, LEAR AND ANNI 24 LILLIE WAS A GOOD IDEA

[timid oasis]

It's a jackpot meeting very hard Lucy

[tight escarp]

Had to buy a Guard Chocalate cus Wally was dying like 2nd hit of Lucy’s attack

Honestly this weeks rally was better than last weeks

[mental raft]

Nice!

[void sleet]

I had enough and buy apple cup at the end

Imagine being that expensive and I can't auto through it

[timid hound]

Not the worst I suppose

[mental raft]

Depends on how many ExR Gym Leaders!

https://tenor.com/view/counting-baby-cute-thumbs-up-tlc-gif-17900527

[timid hound]

Just have a EXR Multi Gym Leader 5head

[ionic sigil]

E4 theme this week. Ugh

I sure do love triple Strike + Sprint when I only have 5 of them

[timid hound]

Not able to connect between areas either

Sad

Don't worry, next week will surely be better

[simple frost]

how's your route this week? ;o

had to apple cup against Anabel.

either that or hit Noland in Hard, with Strike/Tech 😦

[timid hound]

Haven't checked yet

Will do it tomorrow

[bronze escarp]

I know know, what's missing in here. Tech-Striker for Cynthia Renegade

[ebon valve]

Thanks for that. Will update when I get a chance

[karmic wraith]

only 5 i got this exact seed and i only have 2

[ionic sigil]

Misery awaits sometimes unfortunately. I just noticed triple Tech/Support which is also annoying as I only have 6 until Irida gets her EXR. Kanto boost showed up at least

[fossil bramble]

I can finally do BR in 8 hrs maybe

[serene spoke]

i yet again get a terrible seed

[quaint star]

First time having the same upgrade over two weeks

[quaint star]

Welp, I don't have the duck for triple. Oh well

[serene spoke]

rip

[fossil bramble]

It was not in fact 8 hrs

[astral path]

What do I need to do here? She’s so tanky and I’m using two bonus

[sudden hull]

whats the weakness

[astral path]

It’s fairy weak

[sudden hull]

looks like ss nemona then

check if they have clear advantage

[astral path]

Welp that sucks for me. This is field support

You can’t get bonus on stage 9 right?

[sudden hull]

you can get it on any area thats not a10 aka the ub

[timid hound]

Y'all

I'm too lazy to do BR

[mental raft]

Paris it's time for you to quit the helper role and become a discord mod!

No need to play the game then!

[simple frost]

did you buy everything in rally shop yet? Got enough rally points for everything for December? 😮

[timid hound]

I have enough rally points for the next 2-3 months lmao

[timid oasis]

[ionic sigil]

RIP Weekly Gems and Voucher then?

[twilit chasm]

leon
dark boost
only calem having gimmicks
This shit is so ass

[sudden hull]

well ur cooked cuz they have aoe sleep

[twilit chasm]

i can use wide awake but chalem tanks like ass

crazy how with x2 type boost and x4 spdef he's still like a toilet paper

[simple frost]

could always just do hard if Leon's too hard

you've got the crit boost as well

[twilit chasm]

that hurts my pride!

[simple frost]

how close were you able to destroy leon though?

or still team building?

[crisp token]

What did I do to deserve this

[digital otter]

I'll actually give a fair battle by ONLY using my useless Lorelei that I've never once used in my whole time of this game

Wow even useless Lorelei can beat them😅

[crisp token]

Ok maybe it ain't all bad

Nvm it's bad

And if you're thinking "hey that's perfect, Geeta is boosted!" well she was already used up to even get to this point

C'mon Anabel my beloved, let's leave this cursed place

[crisp token]

oh shoot I forgor to screenshot my score

wasn't paying attention, might've been a high score

ah well

[ebon sorrel]

Ah i hate you too Nolan

[pearl lion]

oof field sprint noland

he looks like a absolutely miserable r10

[oak jolt]

150 points burnt for nothing (reminder, don't buy boosts for A10 new stages if you aren't sure to clear it) just wasted 150 points trying to beat Giovanni, A10 shop was garbage and had to give up, I should have dropped difficulty without trying since even without the 150 Lucy vh wouldn't have been an issue

[uneven field]

where is the fire weak exeggutor ace trainer M battle from?

[heavy fjord]

Could you post a screenshot of the starting battle screen

I have a feeling I know but I wanna make sure

[uneven field]

wait that doesnt say much lol

[heavy fjord]

no that was perfect

it's the battle challenge for the kanto neo champions

[uneven field]

ohh ty ty

[heavy fjord]

main gimmicks are Tough Skin 5 and the sides having Sentry Entry x2

[uneven field]

ew

all i have is 1 flying upgrade 💀

[uneven field]

this team is so bad too 😭 (full EXR match)

i'll have to do hard 😔

[urban ledge]

God I loathe that battle lol

[uneven field]

yeah lmao, it was not worth it

[uneven field]

area 9 strike/tech lucky stage hell yeah

support field noland woag

[twilit chasm]

Half hp of charizard bar. Hes not that tanky but Chalem is always dead after taking flare blitz + max move so cant setup a new zone so that cerena can make dmg

Support having no self heal is so fucking annoying

[simple frost]

i mean Chalem can't tank for anything.

hmm

what's your team comp though?

[sudden hull]

the problem is no def buff

he has healing

[twilit chasm]

It’s really ass with this roster trying to fill leon gimmick requirement

Oops wrong img

[sudden hull]

best bet is probablt trying to replace hilbert

[leaden wraith]

Agreed

You need on demand WTZ

On top of statuses

[twilit chasm]

Dunno which unit can apply both status and field/zone since chalem zone runs out so fast

Not sure if volkner works

[leaden wraith]

Volkner is awkward

And then you still have to worry about the tank

Your Dark type is not good at surviving

[twilit chasm]

Ye it’s all chalem issue again lol

Imagine getting the best combo for a10 then getting shafted by theme boost

[leaden wraith]

I would move to H if i were you. There are too many disadvantages on your side and even if you managed to clear with lesser boost units the time and sanity spent are not worth it

[twilit chasm]

You say like dark tanks well generally

[sudden hull]

you got arven

[leaden wraith]

Uninvested Arven, to be exact

[twilit chasm]

Sadly cant do any field zone or status

I dont even know what he can do tbh lol

[leaden wraith]

Self healing and damage reduction

[twilit chasm]

So still useless against leon

[leaden wraith]

But only for himself so i don't think you could make it far with him invested

[tribal sorrel]

I keep getting more recent Ultimate battles as my final opponent in the rally lol, instead of the easy ones sadly. This time wasn’t too bad at least. Field/Sprint start with Electric upgrade, and the final was Leon and Charizard lol. Basically made for SST Red. I don’t think I could have beat it without 3x crit damage up even

[sudden flower]

Someone do my battle rally

[tight escarp]

Sure if ur hoping to get scammed and lose ur account 😖

[sudden flower]

[simple frost]

i mean

you could stream your gameplay

and we can comment on what you can do or something?

[sudden flower]

It's not like that

It's just I am lazy

[ionic sigil]

A miserable run on my alt but Hard Lucy is doable without a matching boost apparently.

I think this is also the highest score I’ve gotten without buying any boosts

Starting Boost was Poison and only had Trial Giver and Fairy type throughout the whole run in the shop

[crisp token]

I also got Poison boost, and literally 0 other theme boosts until A10

[mental raft]

Used = 0
Impressive!

[kindred seal]

What do I do in this battle? I'm at +4 boosts and was cruising by on just CS battles and then this shows up. I'm hardly doing any damage at all.

And of course, the ever detestable Sprint/Field combo, severely limiting my team comps

[sudden hull]

its for ny wallace and clair so you want to replace terrain

[kindred seal]

Okay, I have NY Wallace at least

[simple frost]

is that her Torterra?

[kindred seal]

Yeah

[simple frost]

NY 2024 BC; Sentry Entryx2. Change Grassy Terrain (Entry & Mid sets). Can drop SPD AoE.

good luck.

[kindred seal]

What's the reason for changing terrain? I don't think I saw anything in battle to suggest any damage reduction

[leaden wraith]

NY Clair has team WTZ protection passive

so they designed the stage with terrain to promote that passive

[kindred seal]

Dang. Good thing for my sync damage boosts. NY Wallace nuked the battle

[simple frost]

i mean, its meant for him + NY Clair

[leaden wraith]

Thank you, Captain Obvious

[kindred seal]

Another case of (if NYWallace -> do damage *2) lol?

Well, hit another wall again. Why are they so tanky? I even bought another boost and it hardly made a difference. Wants attack down and trap, but it doesn't seem to matter

[leaden wraith]

Arc Lance singlehandly takes care the gimmicks

Wallace is not a good nuker, tho

that team wants a strong defensive backbone

[kindred seal]

Lance is doing very wimpy damage though.

[simple frost]

Enemy has Wise Entry x2

[fossil bramble]

Which reminds me, I need to do BR

[kindred seal]

Like, each Giga Impact is doing like 500 damage. That's like 1%

[leaden wraith]

make sure he has offensive buffs and enemies getting trapped

[kindred seal]

Nothing in battle is suggesting I need to trap

[leaden wraith]

that battle was designed for Kabu and Larry

[kindred seal]

Oh, late game fair units battle. That explains the ludicrous bulk

But is there supposed to be something reducing damage if not trapped?

[leaden wraith]

the stage asks for lowering rebuffs but Lance already checks that

does he have offensive buffs? assuming you reset for TM MPR every round

[kindred seal]

And no, I never use TM until the last battle

[leaden wraith]

if he is not the main dmg dealer it's fine

[timid oasis]

Lucky Darach encounter on stage 10

[sudden flower]

Well I did it after all

[mental raft]

Yeah it's been rare nowadays!

[timid oasis]

It's like finding oasis in the middle of dessert, him and Lucy

[timid oasis]

Yippie get the gems XD

[fossil bramble]

I'm on a long old UB lucky streak. I'm waiting for the inevitable

[leaden wraith]

I haven't encountered Darach for ages

And he is still not always a free win for me

[mental raft]

You jinxed it right now!

[fossil bramble]

Oops

[fossil bramble]

Fwiw I still have to buy another bonus, but definitely works because it's not one of the new ones

[simple frost]

i pray for Palmer or Argenta ❤️

[fossil bramble]

I hope for Support/Sprint Palmer lol

[leaden wraith]

Aside from Evelyn i am not confident on clearing the new ones

And Evelyn can still block you if you don't have good debuffers

So in short they all suck

[fossil bramble]

So real

[mental raft]

Indeed

[timid oasis]

[mental raft]

The problem is we can't even guarantee our win even with the against some of them!

[dusk eagle]

Cant figure royal mask with two fire and a Johto boost

Keeping stats down is a nightmare

Like Geeta is only gonna drop defense

[simple frost]

She has ruthless poison so she can drop stats more... But yeah u need another debuffer.

(Ruthless Poison is 3/5 skill though)

[dusk eagle]

If I can win I'm more than willing to 3/5

[leaden wraith]

honestly i don't think there is a high chance you can clear

SS Morty, Geeta and Mix Red might work, but i don't guarantee it

[dusk eagle]

Do have two fire boosts and a Johto so that could help?

[leaden wraith]

maybe, but the lack of speed debuffs is my concern

you can give it a try

Red also can't keep up with offensive debuffing later on

[dusk eagle]

That's why I'm scared on this one

I've been pretty crossed between giving field candies to Geeta or SC Selene

[fluid mountain]

All areas done on VH. Amazing bonus route seed, 3 BCs on the way, and a barely Nita UB clear, doing the final blow just before she syncs a second time

Items used:

• 1 Ghost Upgrade (start)
• 2 Opp. Stats Down PU (100, from A3 and A6
• 1 Half Cake (100, for A10)

Battles per area:
1: Barry BC (from Palmer and Argenta event)
2: Olivia Ground-W CS
3: Shauntal Ice-W CS
4: Leon BC (from Galar NC event)
5: Flint Water-W CS
6: Bruno Water-W Kanto CS
7: Flint Rock-W CS
8: Kahili Rock-W CS
9: Lucas BC (from Rei and Akari event)
10: Nita UB

[leaden wraith]

While 3/5 Geeta is a good investment regardless, i am still not certain that she will 100% work in this case

[sweet mango]

Rival is worth it?

[leaden wraith]

Yes, absolutely

[finite tundra]

clair gaming vs masked royale XDD

i haven't done a real battle rally run, even a casual one, in a long while since i keep just blitzing the easy stages, pretty happy with this

wouldve used DC wally but i already did earlier (x1 dragon starting bonus the whole time)

i levelled and gridded clair just for this haha

hostile environment 1 W

[sweet mango]

Rival is better vs kanto right

[wary cove]

i uh

i had another busy week and forgor to both br and cs again

[leaden wraith]

Both are great so getting both allows you to be more flexible

[wary cove]

damnit

my exr techs are ssr cyn, sygna hilbert, og cyn, sygna red, and larry

[sudden hull]

Thats not bad

And imo tech is the best bonus for a10

[wary cove]

so thats 4/5 strike/tech, 1/5 sprint/tech. for supp/str r4 i have sygna leon; for sprint/str r7 i have riley

i now face the decision paralysis of who goes where

my multiplier is kanto

so i could just slot in sygna red and send it

[sudden hull]

Dump your 2.0s early

None ofthe tech strikes are good a10 checks

[wary cove]

gotcha

im considering using larry from 2-5 even tho he has no mult for 4 bc thats 2 2xs

a10 i also have 1.7 from arc cyn

so maybe like

larry + a sprint/tech/field kanto for 2 & 3; larry + a supp/strike kanto for 4; larry for 5; og cyn for 6; riley and whoever for 7; then sygna red and see what we get to 10?

[sweet mango]

Being overly cautious and saving my best pairs got me 8k points at a10.

[simple frost]

you've got like 12mnutes and an hour to finish br ;o

[sweet mango]

It’s unimpressive for me @simple frost

[wary cove]

beats the times ive tried in 20 mins dfghkfdhkj

im on area 6 rn

choosing between cs and br i picked br since 300g > none

[dusk eagle]

I've rethought things a while back and decided it's better to use the strong pairs when they have a 2x boost and take the points than to save them for last and find they're useless in the ultimate battle

Which always seemed to happen

[heavy fjord]

Yeah, guaranteeing yourself as many points as possible is better than being able to beat the VH UB imo

Worst case scenario you can always just drop down to Hard or use Apple Cup for area 10

[dusk eagle]

Never used apple cup cuz of wanting points

[sweet mango]

I saved ss lear, ss gladion, nc silver, rei for a10

I got thorton

[leaden wraith]

you might have to use it eventually, because of new UBs being bullshit to deal with even on H difficulty

[heavy fjord]

Yeah, since the recent update to stages I've bought it a few times just to not have to think about how ill beat an UB

[dusk eagle]

Yeah I've fought with Noland a couple times on hard and was a pain

[heavy fjord]

And if youre using all your stronger pairs early for x2 bonuses you both have more points to use for it, and less of your stronger characters to deal with the UBs more easily

[dusk eagle]

I'd still rather sacrifice pairs for points.

@leaden wraith I appreciate your help. This team with the damage chocolat managed after a few tries

[leaden wraith]

that's great to hear

Masked Royal is very bs in rally so it's totally fine if you have to purchase a couple of things to clear him

[dusk eagle]

Took a couple tries cuz she kept one shotting through second sync

First defeat of a new ub

[wary cove]

20 mins and vh is palmer

but also h is lucy

and that would be soooo easy

[crisp token]

Masked Royale is a despot, a tyrant, an oppressor of the masses

It's about time we had something of a French Revolution ourselves

[leaden wraith]

so real

let me join in

[wary cove]

til you can oneshot lucy h

(not like, thru the guards. but)

[fossil bramble]

Chat.

[fossil bramble]

DeNA wtf I wished Palmer and not Nita

[fluid mountain]

Huh, neat

Huh, double neat

[simple frost]

Awesome power up

what's your seed looking like though?

[fossil bramble]

@mental raft you are right I jinxed myself

NC Cheren would have been perfect here

But he missed the role bonus lol

[simple frost]

rip

even more rip.

ahaha yikes. Well guess i'm using SC Steven early.

[stark zinc]

Can't have shit in Detroit, man

[simple frost]

rip

[stark zinc]

Is this game just preventing me to get 11k?

[simple frost]

depends on your roster tbh 😮

[stark zinc]

I really need Tech/Sprint and Sprint/Field units, don't i?

[mental raft]

[simple frost]

i've got sprint/field units, the problem is, i dont have a lot of tech/sprint units :<

even then, it'll depend on the seed you get

[mental raft]

Nice!

AS Steven you have to carry me from A8 to 10

[simple frost]

Tech Support A1 for me

so i have no idea what i'm gonna be dealing with Normal theme boost :x

[daring raptor]

ok didn't expect dc tierno to be that good

sunny deposition

[dull spire]

Me : "Why...
hello there, Giovanni"
Giovanni : "I am giving you a choice, would you like to
A) Love your life
B) Live normal life
C) Hate your life"

[leaden wraith]

i got this trash seed again 🚮

[mental raft]

Nooooo

This is possibly the worst seed!

-# At least for me it is!

[crisp token]

Nah that ain't the worst seed

[leaden wraith]

it's definitely not the worst but i hate duplicated rounds in general

[crisp token]

Worst one is the one that switches out one role at a time then repeats

There's a few variants

[leaden wraith]

those staircase seeds

[crisp token]

Also A10 Tech Support is a solid bet since you'll need both most of the time

[mental raft]

It has thrice Strike/Sprint and Tech/Support!
It definitely is one of the bad seed if not worst!

[crisp token]

Defo better than Strike Sprint A10 because you better have the cannonest glass cannons in history

[mental raft]

I love the staircase seeds!
It suits my roster!

[leaden wraith]

that's the only good thing about the seed
i would rather get the strike focused pattern that also has strike/field on A1

[crisp token]

Tech Supports are very common and solid investments in general anyways

I have like 8 or 9

Strike Sprint yeah it's not great

[leaden wraith]

as long as you can fit 3 double bonus pairs in both rounds

[fossil bramble]

I have so many Tech/Supports but I do need an actual Support/Techs

[mental raft]

It's rare for me!
I can use Arc Suits in two consecutive battles is what I like the most about the staircase seeds, and I can score above average on it too!

[fossil bramble]

Think I'll EXR Pal Victor

[crisp token]

I don't regret caking Elaine

Like yeah she ain't nuking but she more than carries her weight in sheer unkillableness

[leaden wraith]

i have uh

[mental raft]

Reverse for me!

[leaden wraith]

4 support tech

[mental raft]

[leaden wraith]

Pal Victor
NC Calem
Eri
Arven

[fossil bramble]

She's my first lol

And only one so far

[mental raft]

[crisp token]

My only other is SS Acerola I think

[mental raft]

No Tierno or Lenora?

[crisp token]

Because I was in a desperate run at one point

She's still 1/5 lol

I just needed the theme and the points

[fossil bramble]

Locked EXR lol

[mental raft]

I have 3 support/tech and 1 tech support (before Eevee day)

[fossil bramble]

All locked Support/Tech EXR

[mental raft]

[mental raft]

Wait isn't Argenta support field?

[fossil bramble]

Nope lol

[mental raft]

Oh!

[fossil bramble]

If datamine is poop I'll try for Eri

[leaden wraith]

she is a funny vampire tank

[crisp token]

Same

[simple frost]

Guys

whose a better nuker/dd against Lucy

Summer Gardenia 1R or Variety Thorton 1R?

[crisp token]

Hope I don't forget to actually check in on datamine in 2 days lol

[simple frost]

assuming i've got something for Toxic removal

[fossil bramble]

Don't have both sorry

[sudden flower]

3rd lucky area since battle rally started

[simple frost]

sheesh, its really these three eh. More Palmers pls.

[fickle drum]

[fair ember]

Die eggs

Lvl 10 and im using a 1000 strength HS team

Bede nuke

[sudden flower]

[mental raft]

Who needs attackers!

[fossil bramble]

I (sometimes) love full Support/Sprint runs like these lol

[fair ember]

First time offtyping Thorton

[mental raft]

This week I enjoyed it a lot!
The seed, Steel boost, and 2 Crit PUs just made it so easy!

[tight escarp]

What’s the gimmick for this stage?

Seems to be a Palmer BC

[heavy fjord]

Yeah, thats for Palmer and Argenta

[tight escarp]

Oof.. doesn’t help that my roles are Sprint & Strike

And I don’t have Palmer or Argenta

[heavy fjord]

accuracy debuffs and clear advantage are what you're dealing with

and wise entry x2

[tight escarp]

Physical attack reduction?

[heavy fjord]

doubled special defense

[tight escarp]

Ohh

[mental raft]

Pretty chill week!

Oops I forgot to add the individual points!

[fickle drum]

Lucy my beloved

[timid oasis]

Heyo anyone knows what bc is this?
I can't seem to defeat it

[timid oasis]

Nice u got support seed, I got field

[sudden hull]

ny wallace and claire

have to specifically replace terrain

[timid oasis]

Ohhhh okei thanks!

[worldly bear]

"hope you didn't plan on doing damage"

[karmic wraith]

starting boost kanto we are so back

[worldly bear]

surely you jest

oh nevermind that was ez

[tight escarp]

Darach but I got no one with roles that can give field effects..

[tight escarp]

Should I just do double bonus? Don’t really want to go down to H

[urban ledge]

Eugh rock boost

Eww double sprintfirld too

Nothing good at initial shop

[sudden hull]

hard with triple gives more than vh with double

[urban ledge]

Galar… nah

[tender hollow]

what to do

[urban ledge]

God

Dammit

Glacia is walling me

Really don’t wanna buy a single item or drop down to hard but might have to lol

[tender hollow]

ohhhh that’s the stupid stage

HS1 and I think somewhere there’s a tripled defence

[urban ledge]

Yeah sentry x3

[tender hollow]

uh nope

Wise x3 but only on sides

oh wait nvm

I somehow combined Glacia with Bertha, silly me

so no HS1 but there’s sentry x2

[urban ledge]

Gave up and went to hard lol

[simple frost]

uh yeah Glacia Steel is itchy.

[simple frost]

thorton?

12k interesting

[urban ledge]

So close, I know I can beat her

[lost cliff]

Maybe a rock support instead of arc steven

[urban ledge]

Gotcha whoo! Just needed to get a run where nobody got burned lol

[mental raft]

Sorry to hear that!

Things are worse sometimes!
I hope you get a good seed next week!

[serene spoke]

Which one is the hardest?

Also a decent rally for my standards

[serene spoke]

And which is the easiest

[tight escarp]

Lucy is the easiest UB, if you want to continue on the Hard stage route. You can possibly do Nemona UB if you have someone who can replace her electric terrain and psychic dps

[timid hound]

I win

[mental raft]

Hardest Nemona
Easiest Lucy!

[serene spoke]

10 cookies later , no antitoxin

[pearl lion]

when LG comes back w/ latios take full advantage of the cookie pinata. ofc we also dont know what the lineup for next month will be 🙂

bc latios will roll over and die to anything

[prisma gyro]

Ciris back to back

[simple frost]

Is that her BC one?

[sudden hull]

could be

[mental raft]

It's the first time I have enough BR Medals to exchange for the Cake Coin Vouchers for next month!

[timid oasis]

Meanwhile I don't have enough to exchange for all sync orbs this month, congrats XD

[mental raft]

Noo!

How many total ExRs do you have?

Now?

[timid oasis]

Uhhh 21 or something and I kept getting bad seed lmao like this week is the field seed which I barely have

[heavy fjord]

And I have so many I can buy out the shop next month and still have 10k left over

[mental raft]

I hope you get a 10k plus score every time next month to take a lead!

[prisma gyro]

The rat chewed through 93% of articuno's health. With only physical attacks.

[timid oasis]

Pray they add woke candy in rally shop in the future

[heavy fjord]

That would be nice

So ofc it isnt happening

[mental raft]

You got it!

[timid oasis]

Yeah hopefully next month is something I'll pull or a good sprint/field

[timid oasis]

Is that very hard?

[timid oasis]

[mental raft]

Thorton is on the easier side of UBs, not easy but not too gimmicky either!

Triple Axel!

[timid oasis]

I beat him in UB with triple steel team without knowing his gimmick

[prisma gyro]

The gimmick is that its def triples before the 60% hp mark, at which point spdef triples instead

Rat cares not for that

Tbf i have 2 upgrades and 2 spdef down pow up

Wait diantha is kalos

3 upgrades

[mental raft]

Use one Physical attacker for a certain percentage of HP and use special for remaining certain percentage is his gimmicks!

[timid oasis]

[timid oasis]

No wonder my steel team beat it easily

Cover both physical and special

[tight escarp]

Wait till you get her on your next daily scout

[pearl lion]

as someone who has her 1/5

she's really meh at 1/5

[sudden hull]

Shes bad at 3/5 too

[prisma gyro]

C iris? I've had her for years.

[zealous plover]

How do I deal with Machamp's Fissure?

[fossil bramble]

Anything with Guard

OG Lusamine unironically works

Or anything with Fly

[zealous plover]

Alrighty

[zealous plover]

How? Machamp ignores endurance

[fossil bramble]

Her recent PB gives her Guard on TM use

[zealous plover]

Ohhh

How do I deal with post sync earth quake?

[fossil bramble]

Wide Guard

OG Lana has it

[zealous plover]

OH! AND I HAVE A WATER BOOST

[fossil bramble]

That said, it will be a point loss if they are not a match for your role bonus

[zealous plover]

Yeah I was just about to say

[fossil bramble]

If you at least have Support bonus, Lana + Falkner works

[zealous plover]

I do not :(

[tight escarp]

Have you checked for Guard Chocalat in shop?

[fossil bramble]

^

If you have this then you can steamroll Noland

[zealous plover]

Oh I was able to do it with NC Red, SST Red, and Lana but I'll keep that in mind!

[sudden hull]

I hope you die

[sudden hull]

Obnoxious piece of shit

[simple frost]

wait, who'd you fight?

[sudden hull]

.

Hahahahahahahhaha

[quiet apex]

God I loath this stage.

Not my worst. Heavy Field one and Nita was VH.

[serene spoke]

I'm big brain, I knew glorialt would come in clutch for A10

[mental raft]

Nice!

But why is your score so low?
Are you doing all the hard battles instead of VH??

[serene spoke]

Mainly yea

With low point spending I wasn't able to do VH

Also cuz I don't have exr

And got sprint field like thrice

[mental raft]

Oh yeah mb!
You are new I forgot!

Keep up!

[tight escarp]

For a new player I think it’s pretty high

Considering he’s been playing for a month? I think

[mental raft]

You are doing good on that part!

But next time try doing VH (at least CS stages) as those are comparatively easier!
Your move level explains that most of the pairs are not invested but you can try doing CSMM very hard before dropping down to hard!

[serene spoke]

a month and a half or so

[serene spoke]

the VH stage is about 2x the CS hard mode right?

also thanks guys!

[serene spoke]

mb it was this, i got sprint and field thrice, separately

so technically the truth

:p

[leaden wraith]

You have to understand how the difficulty rises up the further you get in. From round 2 to 9, the opponents get +100% boost to stats except hp and speed each round, up to 800% on A9. The stats in VH are the same as the original stats, Hard and Normal lower the stats and feature different, easier set of battles than VH

[serene spoke]

so i do about half the dmg in A2 compared to A1

oof

CS has about 30k hp right?

so i would even struggle in VH if they are CS

[leaden wraith]

No CS has its HP over 30k

[serene spoke]

and what about A10?

[serene spoke]

oh

[leaden wraith]

A10 is +100% to stats on VH, H and N lower the stats including HP

[serene spoke]

so A10 is 900%?

[leaden wraith]

The difficulty varies a lot, for example Kanto CS and Kalos CS stages are on different levels

[leaden wraith]

No, the build up boosts stop at A9 as i noted earlier

[serene spoke]

so A10 is 100% more than A9? or 100% more than their original counterpart

[leaden wraith]

Naturally a lot of Battle Challenges and other special stages are hard

[leaden wraith]

It's the latter, the 100% boost does not apply to their HP

[serene spoke]

so H is the same as their original counterpart and N lowers the stats?

[serene spoke]

so technically speaking, its easier to do A10 than A9 if we dont account for the gimmicks

[leaden wraith]

Both H and N are weaker than the original counterparts

[leaden wraith]

Nah not really, you always have to account for gimmicks on A10

[serene spoke]

by any specific amount?

[serene spoke]

if we account for the gimmicks, it will be easier to do A10 then? cuz u do more dmg and take less dmg?

[leaden wraith]

I have to remind you that Ultimate Battles have very large HP pool

[serene spoke]

assuming they are both the same battle

like nemona for example

[leaden wraith]

I don't remember the exact numbers but they don't matter much. You never touch N anyway, it's either beating H or apple cup VH if you are unable to clear VH without overspending

[leaden wraith]

A10 is guaranteed to have an UB so that's invalid

[serene spoke]

do A2 - A9 not have UBs?

[leaden wraith]

UB Nemona is very different from Dark weak BC Nemona (from Arven's event)

Yes, A2 to A9 never spawn an UB

[serene spoke]

oh ok

[leaden wraith]

I highly recommend reading the Battle Rally article on Bulbapedia if you want to study deeper

[serene spoke]

alr

well thanks

[leaden wraith]

Since a lot of your asked questions can be answered there

[fossil bramble]

Screw you Nita I have infinite protect

[mental raft]

I can't even imagine doing that to an UB like Nita!

How many minutes did it take?

[fossil bramble]

I haven't kept track, but I feel I reached about 15 sync

[fossil bramble]

Funny enough I just put Kris + Mina to counter sandstorm and see how it looks. Then in the middle of the run I realized "wait a minute they can do infinite AoE Protect"

And I realized it after Nita has died

[mental raft]

Who was the Hard one?

[fossil bramble]

Darach lol

The +Atk boost was me attempting this with Cheren

...which I realized now that it might have meant Atk Stat

And therefore does not affect Cheren

[mental raft]

Oh I thought it works on both Atk and SpAtk too

[fossil bramble]

I'm not sure actually, but thinking on it now it makes sense lol

Either way I think I have seen the light

If I see Support/Sprint A10, I can just brute force it with Mina + Kris, with Cynthia as 3rd to tank Noland at the start

[mental raft]

Now that you beat Nita I believe you can beat anyone!

With supports

[fossil bramble]

I still need to beat Nita fair and square someday

Irida is 1/5 so she's not yet ready

[mental raft]

Soon!

[fossil bramble]

[serene spoke]

how

[mental raft]

The Apple Cup can regenerate any move which has a limited number of uses like TMs and Rain/Sun etc.
This allows SS Kris to set infinite Rain and SS Mina to infinite Protection!

[serene spoke]

oh

[fossil bramble]

[timid hound]

Time for BR

[timid hound]

Roark BC is a menace

[viscid flicker]

^That along with Sc Steven BC

[timid hound]

Had to literally flinch lock lol

[timid hound]

Think I can pull it off with 1 x Kanto Boost?

[leaden wraith]

[timid hound]

Damn Evelyn ate me up

[leaden wraith]

i'm not really sure, slightly leaning towards recommending you buying another boost here

[timid hound]

Why is it the prettier they are the harder they hit?

Do you know the answer Gakon

[leaden wraith]

so Palmer is beautiful under your eyes?

[timid hound]

No but you are

[leaden wraith]

is this an attempt to steal my credit card

anyway how far did the comp get?

[timid hound]

1st sync move

Then Evelyn total party wiped

Even though I debuffed her like crazy

[simple frost]

Nah. Definitely needs 1 more theme boost and 1 power up o.o

Id go as far as aim for 2 theme boosts before you hit a10

[timid hound]

Okay let's see

[simple frost]

These are some trying times haaah

[timid hound]

Only because the new UBs are a hassle and a half

[simple frost]

They are.

Like role bonus helps a lot... But if you arent able to, they rip up hard.

Even using Apple Cup is recommended now if you get the new UBs

[leaden wraith]

that's the same to every UB except Lucy

[simple frost]

I still pray for Palmer

[timid hound]

DUDE WHY DOES EVELYN HIT LIKE A TRUCK STILL?

SHE IS DEBUFFED TO HELL I HAVE 2 THEME BOOSTS AND HYPER BEAM ONE SHOTS SS STEVEN DEF FORM

WHAT THE HELL

I'm kinda tilted

[simple frost]

Yikes

[timid hound]

She's not activating any passives

I guess the base power is that high

[simple frost]

Yep

[timid hound]

Or apparently 2 theme boosts aren't enough

[simple frost]

I havent encountered her yet in rally

Just 1 noland, leon and giovanni

Those three died to 3 to 4 stacks of power ups

[timid hound]

Nah fuck this

I'm apple cupping

Can't be arsed to minmax when I'm sitting on 40k

[leaden wraith]

she has the second highest offensive stats, only behind Anabel

and her moveset is overall way stronger than Anabel

so yeah that's unfortunate

[mental raft]

And for some reason I thought she is the easiest new UB!

[mental raft]

Hey that's an amazing score!

Just 480 short on max score

[leaden wraith]

she is considered the easiest because her gimmicks are just about debuffing which can be easily dealt with

[mental raft]

It's offtopic but, Gakon do you think the two triple banners dropped today worth pulling?

Like the banner we had for Rei, Gloria alt and SS Hilbert banner a few weeks ago!

[leaden wraith]

definitely not on the same level as the Rei's triple level

i wouldn't recommend pulling any of them, personally

[mental raft]

Thank-you!

[leaden wraith]

[timid oasis]

12k with Apple Cup

[red ginkgo]

round 10 was palmer. i used two johto boosts + 1 any stats down move power up + the sp atk jelly.

[mental raft]

Great score

[crisp token]

Thinking of investing into a Tech/Sprint carry unit for BR floors that want this combo

ATM I've got SS May, BT Leon, SS Wally caked but all 1/5

[normal python]

Awww, you shouldn't have

[crisp token]

I also have access to CIris and CElesa

Just wondering which of these is the most able to "carry" a stage

i.e. blast them all to bits

[normal python]

Also, perma crit shield is very tempting for me

[crisp token]

I guess I'm leaning towards SS May for DPS and sync nuke capability?

But I haven't really used most of these pairs extensively so I can't say for sure which one fits that role best

[leaden wraith]

I would pick Wally

[crisp token]

Wally can DPS?

[leaden wraith]

he has the best sync nuke among your options

May can help with dps after mega

[crisp token]

By a significant margin?

[leaden wraith]

yes

[crisp token]

Hmm fair

Aite guess I'll give it a shot

Thanks

[sudden hull]

on VH evelyn would have around 7.2k offensive stats and hyper beam is like 160bp

[normal python]

Hmmmm, now how do I do Leon's UB?

[leaden wraith]

WTZ and status

[simple frost]

ETerrain's recommended since the sides can sleep your team 😮

[normal python]

A10 is Support/Sprint and one of my counters is Chase only

I have NC Leaf to counter the sleep and WTZ

[leaden wraith]

sun boosts Leon's attacks tho

[normal python]

Hmmmm

[leaden wraith]

so she is a double edged sword

[normal python]

Unless you want me to do Hard Anabel

[timid hound]

[simple frost]

how's your shop / upgrades situation?

[normal python]

I have Alola/Crit Power Up/Steel Upgrade/Attack Up: Power Up

I still have AS Steven retained

[simple frost]

err... 1 of each?

[normal python]

No, those are my shop upgrades

My current upgrades are x1 Alola and Crit: Power Up

[leaden wraith]

please show me your available units

Support/Sprint is usually not a good role combo on A10

[leaden wraith]

maintaining WTZ is already a huge concern

i would go for Anabel H

[normal python]

Well, I do have SS Kris

[leaden wraith]

are you willing to reset for one thousand rain mpr

[muted sparrow]

[simple frost]

Early 😮

got enough tech/sprint for 2400 points? 😮

[muted sparrow]

Yes

I have 6

Sadly this seed co 3 Tech/Field so

[muted sparrow]

Got Lucy

[simple frost]

Cool.

[simple frost]

13k wew

[mental raft]

Amazing score!

[dusk eagle]

I need suggestions for the bt Leon ultimate and I'd prefer not to take screenshots of all 243 pairs of strike support

Boosts are rival rock fighting 1 each

Unfortunately wasted SS Roxie earlier

[dusk eagle]

Piers is my only setter but 1/5

[robust ember]

Does anyone know how to ccounter tough skin?

i keep trying to afflict with status or other conditions/debuff/use weather etc but tough skin 5 seems to not be mitigated

[tight escarp]

Tough Skin reduces damage taken from non-super effective moves

[urban ledge]

Hit their weakness

[robust ember]

ohhh no wonder

[urban ledge]

Otherwise just hit even harder

Lol

[robust ember]

yup

[urban ledge]

I think piercing blows ignores?

[robust ember]

trial giver up is the bonus i got for this run so it's dead

shame too bc i actually got a lucky floor for the first time in what feels like months

[urban ledge]

No shame in that

Why this week was the first time in a long while that I had to drop to Hard lol

Not even the round 10 battle

[timid hound]

Pro: I've never had to drop to H

Con: I apple cupped

[fossil bramble]

Just get Support/Sprint + Apple Cup + SS Mina + SS Kris for A10

Easy infinite AoE Protect

[simple frost]

Ive done base supports in A10. The damage upgrades just stack with supp EX lol. Its funny seeing NC Blue just drop 300k sync nuke

[timid hound]

Okay but NC Blue actually has damage amplifying nodes

He's the odd one out

[simple frost]

NC Rosa can also do some good damage too

[robust ember]

Ok I actually somehow turned it around despite the trial giver bonus

[timid hound]

Yeah, to my ears

[timid hound]

I spontaneously get a headache whenever I hear Relic Song now

[normal python]

I'm tempted to buy perma sandstorm in shop

Since all of my levels require field/weather change

I might go SS Acerola/Chase/AS Steven for a lot of healing

[dusk eagle]

My first 12k

[kindred seal]

Alright, how do I win this? Another infinity stat raising race I can't keep up with

[sweet mango]

Support/sprint evelyn

Who should i use

[kindred seal]

DC Hugh? Lillie/Clefairy? Lodge Dawn? Or maybe you need more aggressive stat reduction

[wary cove]

bonuses are fighting (base) + sinnoh (shop)

i would be so hype

except

[fluid mountain]

OMG Got 2 discounted Opp Stats Down PU sale in the same run!

[fossil bramble]

If you are okay doing Apple Cup then SS Mina can do infinite AoE protect

[wary cove]

and 3/4 of my fields are supp fields

so ig we're running lillie from 2-6 and eating 0 on 4

[kindred seal]

Why not keep her 6-10?

[wary cove]

of sygna morty (1/5 exr), anabel (1/5, r but not ex), and rika (3/5 exr), who do i want to use for 2x in 3 vs 2x in 9?

[wary cove]

i can hit supp/sprint for 3x 2x if the battle itself isnt a problem

so i cant keep her past 6

[fossil bramble]

Oh nvm Apple Cup not necessary

[wary cove]

oh you are fucking kidding me

SINCE WHEN DO YOU ROLL LUCKY ON STAGE 2

not even a 1.7 arc

just 2.0 lillie

boooooo

[simple frost]

Rip if you get Nita in your a10

[simple frost]

Awesome

[normal python]

I'll take it

[wary cove]

atrocious roles for my roster but at least i get darach

[normal python]

Why did you buy that much upgrades?
