It's not the same on every unit
You won't sync more than once with her and it's probably the first sync

Quick cure and Vigilance are stage specific, top left quadrant is better as generic
merry onyx
Is this an alright grid for red with recharging strike?
clever thorn
I think going for opp rebuff down: s moves 9 would be better than stat nodes, since you’re already syncing with him (brainpower)
merry onyx
Thats fair yea
deep dagger
giving bluedos vigilance lucky skill seems the way to go right? picking it up in its grid feels like it'll limit a lot of other nodes
echo crypt
if you want, sure, there isn't really a correct answer, crits from enemies are not particularly common anyway, you can ignore it completely if you so choose
hexed crane
Well one of the other options is often Adrenaline 1 which I think is easier to pick up in the grid
bronze dragon
If you are traditional, give him Vigilance
Nowadays it's not that useful, especially with a unit like him with so much bulk, damage reductions and healing
HS1 or Adr1 is the way to go imo
deep dagger
hmm
good points
i did try him out w/o investing any sync nodes/lucky skills and he was taking dmg like it was nothing
whoa lol, bluedos already clocking in 12 solo LA's

Yes
foggy urchin
Also u sent the same message twice

Well its good for its purpose 
bronze dragon
If you want him to do damage, Brainpower is worth it
Furious Brain gets diluted with master passives, it's not that strong and sometimes you don't attack
clever thorn
It also gets diluted from smun
bronze dragon
Well it's just 1 attack, he won't have too many SMUM himself but yeah
dense eagle
Is it me or is Sun stuff on Moltres overrated, and we should just do the healing/debuffing combo?
clever thorn
Why wouldn’t you use sun if it’s tied to her move that doubles debuffs
Potion tiles are also in a somewhat lacklustre quadrant of the grid
bronze dragon
There's nothing in her grid to debuff, it's just base passive
And I don't think you'll want to use Potion much having her in the team
solemn blade
Is BP Falkner’s sync nuke that good? I see the doc recommends CS2, but I would have assumed Vigilance since he seems to be more utility than damage
sweet parcel
If you dont use him for damage there is no reason to give him CS2
His sync nuke isnt good in today standard
stark berry
I think I gave him mind games 2
bronze dragon
He doesn't do any of his tasks well enough so tbh you can give him whatever
But yeah mg2/dc2 are fine
stark berry
Is mainly a gauntlet unit, maybe you can pair it with NC leaf if you want to debuff all the stats to -6 since he can debuff evasion a curacy and speed
bronze dragon
I mean, if it's for fun 
sonic slate
i know its a niche scenario but, if its a unit that the only cookie skills listed are deluxe ones like mind games, and i dont want to use a deluxe skill on it, and it has vigilance in base or grid already

Look at their grids and see which one you think you’d get the most out of 4/5 on, it won’t make a huge difference on any of the 3
hexed crane
SS Blue gets status immunity and first aid 4. SS Red gets steadfast & sync thinker, SS Leaf gets toxic freebie and venomous 2
None of them are hugely impactful
bronze dragon
The answer is not SS Leaf

Probably, if you give him hs1 lucky skill he can shave a sync turn by his own, but only if you pick hs1 in his 4/5 grid

I guess BOGO 9 makes him gauge free for at least 6 attacks if you alternate accelrock and stonedge

What’s a good pseudo-support grid for 5/5 Aegislash? The google doc in the pins ...
Maybe something like this
However not a great tank since it delays syncs and can't even heal
clever thorn
If the enemy uses a special move and has gradual healing, you can quadqueue after shielding
Or time inspire ire so that you can quadqueue after a physical move too
stark berry
I mean in master mode is fine if you are planning to clear the stage before your second sync regardless, since you can go double TM and then king's shield, after your 1st syncs missing sync countdown isn't a problem if you don't plan to reach second sync regardless

Between first aid ss acerola and tank acerola, which works better?
I can imagine first aid having more heals but only healing her, while tank heals less but for the whole team
between the two, which one of those can you say works better in your experience?
bronze dragon
Depends
On the stage, your parameters, your units
If they do constant aoe then you'd rather heal the team
If you pick half HP parameters you would really appreciate FA4
If your team likes to be in certain range of HP you might even want to avoid healing them
crimson merlin
Who would be the better choice for 2 strike candies between 1/5 cynthia and garchomp and 1/5 giovanni and nidoking?
gentle sun
Strictly mechanically speaking probably SS Giovanni since he’d cover Ground + 2 other types as opposed to Cynthia only covering Ground
There’s not really a wrong answer though, Cynthia wants candies much more than SS Giovanni and either one would be great at 3/5
crimson merlin
Imma go with giovanni and nidoking then. Who would be the good support for this team along with courtney and camerupt?

If there’s anything further it’d be best to take it to the regular questions channel, yeah, but Skyla or Sonia would probably be the best gauge option (in CS Skyla would be preferred unless you wanna boost Courtney’s damage as well since Sonia’s offensive buffs would usually be wasted on SS Giovanni)

The only appealing node in the lower grid imo is Sync Burst 1
cunning fox
Thinking about the new Giovanni. He’s a weird unit ngl
cunning fox

At 3/5, better to try for sync burst than mp refresh. The odds are low you’d get a second let along a 3rd so the gaurenteed is better.
sweet parcel
their grid has been already proven bad
cunning fox
Thinking about the new Giovanni. He’s a weird unit ngl
Anyways. The man is strange.
(By Absolutely on the app formed known as Twitter)
cunning fox
+2 crit and +4 defense is a choice. I think letting him top off a physical mon is his best bet. A lot of my most used eggmons are +6 speed and +2 to attack or special attack since they deal with gauge and finish buffs for my damage dealer(s). So I feel like berserk bunch with mp refresh route will almost always be the way to go. That was he can also max out crit if you reset for refresh.
Unbending and healthing healing +potions is good for gauntlet so ya know.
I also tried a the first air route since he does actually heal himself a lot and dropped healthy healing for speed boosts. The only other viable grid I can think of is MAYBE something like this
If you really wanna fish for that poison as fast as possible
cunning fox
sadly he is a miss
So true. Too bad lodge silver is a miss that I EXed because it’s Silver
sweet parcel
he has Revenge Boost 4 so i think his gauge isnt that bad
sweet parcel
Thinking about the new Giovanni. He’s a weird unit ngl
i do like these grids
cunning fox
It’s not bad. But it could be better. And also a lot of his nodes are very situational like team sync cure. Also I kinda hate tighten/toughen up since I tried to run them on OG Lillie way back when and they helped out approx 0% of the time. Unless it’s a 9 it’s no.
cloud crane
defense buffs and potions look like a decent combo honestly
cunning fox
Tighten up 9 on joltik is… ok. I run it on one Grid.
sweet parcel
thats why Regirock is decent 
cloud crane
haha. honestly wouldn't mind Regirock but not worth the dupes and all. at least lodgewise we get the full grid
and yeah the crit maxing as well for a defensive support is nice
cunning fox
Yeaaahhhh I still need Regirock and registeel
From the BP Units
You just grab whatever passives they have at 1/5 (like sand shelter or whatever) and call it a day
Sand shelter on landorous is actually kinda nice that it gets at 1/5 because +4 attack/speed is really good for setting up Cynthia.
Nita + OG Cynthia + Bertha is a very nice Setup
cloud crane
true. Nita is kinda great for that 1st sync ohko setup
cunning fox
(Epic Nita Grid)
Ok so I just learned that at 2/5 she gets both healthy healing AND soothing sand like goddamn she about heal like the floor is lava
Actually grab the defense not the bulldoze
Clemont nuke

Tornadous LG

at least he has +3 crit for LG solo
cunning fox
Clemont's expansion is mid at best <:MortySigh:614702971246215208>
But yeah it really is quite sad. I want so badly for him to be good. Grand entry WOULD be good if he was mega but… he’s not so it’s just +2 forever. Speedsters sync is fine but does he even have 300 special attack? Also why does he get charging sun, raging rain, and surging sand. He’s so silly and goofy but in a way that’s just not working. At least obscuring Power means After one mud slap he gets a multiplier to his healing.
sweet parcel
the weather passives are references to mainline games
cunning fox
Yeah I know. Cause it has dry skin

Just to clarify, the grid examples take a zone tile just cause it's on the path, not to necessarily use it (though it's welcomed when applicable, in which case I prefer the acceleration than the healing)
In your case since you take both berserker and MPR I'm assuming you're skipping another sync tile for this, which I wouldn't recommend honestly

I feel like this will be the grid I use if I ever get SS Roxy, what do you guys think?
And I have a different pair I can pair with for poison
hexed crane
I'd drop the extension and go for the sync induction node for maximum nuke. You've already got extension via her passive, and for battles like CSMM you won't need more than that
bronze dragon
At 3/5 is mainly that, choosing between max damage or extension
You could also do an Overdrive build
Her expansion nodes are quite good so that would open building possibilities
elfin crypt
Oh neat didn’t realize SS Roxie already has an extension
merry onyx

vivid yoke
Im going to EX regular roxie ||to fill the void in my heart at being unable to pull for ss roxie|| and im grabbing inertia for her, and for the other 30 energy, what is a stronger multiplier? Ramming speed, or toxic power 5?
I guess the pin doc suggests toxic power, i assume that is for good reason
gentle sun
Toxic Power 5 is a stronger modifier and not that hard to set up
vivid yoke
Stronger modifier is all i need to hear, thank you
Granted, in order to max out inertia i have to max out ramming speed too but if toxic power is stronger anyway ill go with that
gentle sun
For future reference, Ramming Speed and its other stat variants all cap at +30% damage, while a damage modifier of (Passive Name) X gives +X% damage, with X being equal to 10 x the number on the passive
vivid yoke
I wasnt sure if it was like, +10% for each +1 stage of the stat
I guess its just +5% for each stage

I got these units currently at 1/5 or 2/5, (plus fall Roxanne) and I think it’s time to pop a candy or two as I got 6 striker candies, 6 tech candies, and 3 support candies. Are any of these units worth candying? Only one that really pops into my head is I know Gloria gets really good with a 5/5 grid, but 3/5 is my limit per unit, 5/5 just requires way too much investment
sweet parcel
who do you feel lackluster at their current move level?
also im afraid that this is not the right channel to ask about candying. Next time you should ask in #poma-questions or make a question thread in #1006350210450079784
solid comet
Oh I thought it would be appropriate since candies = sync grids, my bad
But to answer your question, the lacklustre units are probably the older ones like Palentine’s dawn, summer Lyra, etc, but I doubt 3/5 would make them good
sweet parcel
i think i should have been more specified. so who do you feel lackluster at their current move level and want to use them more?
solid comet
Alder maybe? Because he’s my only relevant bug type (though I’m considering pulling for SS hilbert in the current banner), and sometimes struggle on bug weak stages
sweet parcel
with great support like NC Blue and another Bug type dmg dealer, you can make 1/5 Alder clearing stages without much trouble
if you want to double candy Alder, you should wait until you finally decide to pull SS Hilbert or not
solid comet
I mean honestly, I have enough units where I don’t think I particularly struggle with any stage (though I struggled with the Unova buddies unite stage and it was the first stage in probably over a year I couldn’t clear, cause I don’t have any limited Unova electric types and my Elesa is not EX)
But I also don’t want to just let candies sit there forever
sweet parcel
have you checked the candy tierlist in the Tierlists and Resources doc pinned in #916852389347196958? it should give you ideas of who getting a lot of improvement
solid comet
I have yeah, but I don’t love the tier list as it’s laid out in kind of a vague way I don’t have SS silver but just for example, for 3/5 tech it says SS silver is the most valuable unit to get to 3/5 and Dojo Gloria is the second best unit…but SS silver has a purple background, which would imply that he already has what he needs at his base kit, whereas Dojo Gloria has a white background which would mean that she does not have what she needs at base
So it’s kinda confusing about why it recommends candying silver over Gloria when silvers kit is sufficient at 1/5 supposedly but Gloria’s isn’t
hexed crane
Gloria's kit is sufficient at 1/5. Her 2->3/5 grids give her pre much nothing of significance, and then she gets some sizeable boosts beyond that
But 5/5 is a really expensive investment
solid comet
Okay, well then the tier list is even more confusing lol
hexed crane
Why so?
solid comet
Cause she has a white background in the tier list
solid comet
Yes dojo
hexed crane
Okay well disregard everything I said that is my bad
solid comet
I know OG is good at 5/5, but yeah too much investment for that
sweet parcel
well SS Silver is mostly completed at base, but he can improve a lot thanks to 3/5 crucial tiles like Pinpoint Entry and multipliers
but he doesnt need them much, as long as his teammates help him fixing problems
hexed crane
Yeah, the comparison here is kinda between "big boost from grid" and "primary kit complete at base". Both hold true for SS Silver, since he gets major improvements via grid but his main function is present at base already. Contrary to Dojo Gloria whose primary aspect is at her 3/5 kit

sonic slate
Just candied her up cause I had the spare tech candy and her performance was lacking the most of my three candidates. Is this fine or is it better to go for insult to injury than the extra sync tiles? I was thinking the sync tiles bc of it being mega taxed
bronze dragon
Do you really want Adrenaline?
stark berry
Sync tiles are pretty important for mega nukers
4 nuke tiles for sync mega tech are worth more than the 6ex
Expecially if not 5/5
bronze dragon
But 2 sync tiles + Cakewalk is better, that’s why I was asking why Adrenaline
But never mind people lately ask for help then immediately disappear 
stark berry
Maybe it can't quad queue and can't setup cakewalk
bronze dragon
It has absolutely nothing to do with quad queue
stark berry
Without quad queue adrenaline cuts a sync cycle
bronze dragon
She has Trip Up 9, a half buffed Cakewalk is still stronger
And yeah, I was asking why Adrenaline because you should normally KO with her sync, so there’s no need to even quad queue
stark berry
Maybe he wants to 1st sync for mega and use adrenaline to speed up second sync
But cakewalk definitely gives better sync damage
I guess you can pick 3 sync tiles with cakewalk
bronze dragon
If you can get +4 speed from allies then sure
stark berry
I guess the best grid depends on team comp and stage
However even without adrenaline, your team should be able to get second sync presync even without quad queue, since you can already cut a sync cycle at the start
sonic slate
are the type specific gilbert tiles ever worth it?

It's up to you, do you think you'll be using the Synchro Healing/Vigilance grid a lot? If so then the LS is redundant. But if you're mostly going to be using a different build that doesn't have Vigilance on grid, then it works as a LS
solemn blade
also should i remove my vigilance skill on blue and zapdos
I find that Zapdos has a lot of useful tiles, so I wouldn’t want to spend energy on Vigilance. So I kept Vigilance, but I’m also not a fan of constantly switching lucky skills.

With leafs TM getting more importance, would it be better to focus on other nodes than tackle staggering for CS and short forms?
sweet parcel
Depends on the dmg dealers. If they can raise important buffs by themselves, she doesnt need to use TM and focuses on disrupting enemies
cloud crane
Hmmm. I guess one crit buff helps like SS Mina and the likes for faster setup as well. Plus I always feel recuperation is a very overlooked node for leaf since she always syncs
sly fulcrum
It really depends on your team, if u have a really strong sync nuke and looking to end on first sync she doesn't need to sync

Yeah. But then she's not really useful for that team I guess

Obviously you can drop it if you plan on picking the anti-interference param on CS (and/or simply don't need the flinch potential)
bronze dragon
I don’t think it’s about energy or needing flinch, but rather if you’re barely using Tackle then you would prefer to use energy on something else, like Adr1 at least for CS
If the battle js around 6 turns and you spend the first 4 between TMs and Potions I wouldn’t consider useful to pick Tackle stuff when there’s other useful nodes
sonic slate
Personally I’ve set this grid as my main default although I’ll prob make other presets too with the expansion making her more flexible https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/1700/13300?s=3&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFGxwfISIkJikvMDM0NQ

I guess there's just so "many possibilities" with this upgrade. Personally, as Racer said I'm not using tackle much now since I could take half HP, heal more and use the TM more. Also, finally using TM barricade buddies for some extra bulk during the first 3 moves against special stages.

Adrenaline is not really useless, as it gives you the opportunity to not care about quad-queue (Sync with her, queue 2 moves with the others, and boom you have Sync again the turn after). Though it's still HS1 for me but to each their own, there's no "best lucky skill"
zinc meadow
Honestly, any sync accel for SSAC is very useful, as it will allow zone to be up when she syncs next. I’m also sure that’s why Sprint EX Role is super helpful for her.

I mean, 5/5ing units because you like them doesn't mean you are making informed decisions, but you do you
gentle sun
If they’re big enough favorites and you’re not scouting outside your means then fair enough, follow your heart
bronze dragon
I just asked if you know what you’re doing
gentle sun
They’re just trying to make sure you understand that spending that many gems is a significant cost
ashen temple
I know i earn my money for the gems
gentle sun
Since there have been plenty of people who will spend gems and/or money without fully grasping the cost
bronze dragon
ashen temple
I know what i did, and why i still earn more than enough for my family i honestly dont need the condescendance for the new year
Anyway

This grid is fine for ncnate?

I wouldn’t go for any node in top right quadrant

Sometbing like this then?

instead of impervious take tm mpr and the sync node

Oh yeah or that

In spark's nuke grid for ncnate why is no quarter used?isn't Speedster sync 5 be...
I think the way I layed them was a bit confusing so I separated more clearly nuke and scale shot grids (noting that scale shot is not particularly good, but in no Sync gameplan that's a consideration)

All grids done

good question i dont fucking know
keen pagoda
Out of the three SST Red grids, which is the reccomended one?
echo crypt
I mean, if there was a "recommended" grid there would only be one, read the document's first page
it depends on what you even want to do with him

That's the issue, I have no idea

Well it'll depend on the battle, without a use there's not much to build

Why would you make a unit 3/5 without knowing what you want to do with its grid…?

Someone here has a 2/5 Iono grid?

pretty much get Brain Brawn / Sterne Stuff and Potion tiles

They Waifu/Husbando lol
bronze dragon
That’s a reason to pull, not to 3/5
clever thorn
If they’re a fave they should take all my money and resources; they’re much more deserving than non faves 
merry onyx
i agree whole heartedly
bronze dragon
Why is that not a reason to 3/5
Why 3/5 specifically? That’s what has always been done to unlock grid stuff
I would take the 5/5 point for favouritism if anything
clever thorn
Buffing faves so that they come fully complete is generally my reason, and 4/5 and 5/5 rarely complete them, so I usually go for 3/5
bronze dragon
Exactly

you can pick all relevant tiles

Aren’t there supposed to be new tiles on the left and ride side? Is this a bug?

yeah

Any of the 3/5+ worth 6* EX’ing and gridding?
bronze dragon
Gridding? All pairs are worth gridding
cloud crane
Might as well grid all of them. Grimsley & MR have good nukes & EX supports are always nice
Olivia too is good for EXing
Depends on your resources mainly

just grid Brainpower + Furious Brain

They are very good grids
But idk where to spend for the most efficient way to use energy
tawdry finch

If you just want to increase your Sync and Discharge dmg you can go something like this for instance

Any good 2/5 ash grids
pine field
Idk if this is the channel to ask but which passive should I give to Iono? Headstart 1 or adrenaline 1 or anything else? And I'm looking for a 3/5 grid for her as well
sweet parcel
the sync grid doc in the pins got you covered
pine field
Oh yeah true but based on experience, which passive should I go for?
The grids look good tho
sweet parcel
depends on your playstyle
pine field
Ic I guess its preference then
Is the sync move countdown passives preferred over Status or Interference Immunity?
sweet parcel
Status/Interference Immunity are niche passives, if you want to look for passives with more general usage, Head Start / Adrenaline then
especially Adrenaline, it is commonly used to ensure quad queue with her
pine field
Aight thx

So the news mentioned they’re gonna raise sync grid energy caps
That’s a game changer lol

Oh good gosh that’s gonna suck, isn’t it
fading gulch
"Whats the best grid for 65 grid energy so and so?"
65 wont change much
if it goes up to like 90
then thats gonna be a massive pain
merry onyx
I highly doubt they're gonna make it a big increase
A lot of "optimal" grids only need like a few more energy to grab all the good tiles
gentle sun
10 extra energy would make a lot of sense, and I doubt it’ll go past that much
merry onyx
There are so many examples of prime grids being like 1 or 2 energy short
echo crypt
-1 energy my beloathed
sly fulcrum
Not looking forward to the doc's update <:CryingHilda:652518562145107968>
Good luck spark and team with the new doc update when it drops
signal oyster
It should be good
gentle sun
Assuming you have the necessary Speed buff sources to max the Sync’s innate Inertia by the time he Syncs that looks fine for a Sync nuke build
signal oyster
I just made for sync mainly
Coz two sync back to back
gentle sun
Probably don’t need Sync Freebie or Super Syncer tho
sonic slate
since he cant fit Speedster's Sync 3 till we have the energy expansion method, whatever way that turns out being, does this seem good for a SSGladion grid?
actually think i just spotted a way to fit it, now that i look again
dunno if sync bp is better than this or not
fringe jackal
Ok so
Speedster sync 3 boosts it by 30%
So sync is 330
But with the 1st grid it’s 350
So first grid is better
bronze dragon
Well that’s not exactly how it works
You have Brainpower and I assume CS2 as LS, so a 2.2 multiplier
If you have SS3 then it would be 2.5
So the difference would be 2.5 * 300 / 2.2 * 350
=0.97 so second option is stronger, but not for much
That’s at 5/5, the lower the move level the more impactful sync BP nodes are
copper verge
There are so many examples of prime grids being like 1 or 2 energy short
Even a +1 or +2 increase could mean a lot to certain units (of course not all, some would really need a +5 or more increase). I assume we'll be getting something around +5/+10 which is already substantial.
Honestly not sure how I'll approach it but probably just not update old units at first and go over time with new releases/boosts and occasionally revisit some stuff on spare time. wait and see

I think that, the max energy upgrade would be per sync pair. so you'll have to unlock that. D:
copper verge
I assume so. Doesn't change the need to update for "theoritical maximum" 😅
uncut vessel
Well?
merry onyx
what are you trying to accomplish with this grid
gentle sun
Well?
You’re unlikely to need any Move Gauge Refresh tiles and you’ve picked up exactly 0 of Riley’s modifiers
I’d honestly suggest ignoring the bottom-left quadrant of Riley’s grid in its entirety for most circumstances
uncut vessel
Something like this? I wanna keep Unbending and Stalwart to avoid being one shot by anything with Insult to Injury.
gentle sun
With Riley the goal should be basically a speedrun clear and very few stages have Insult to Injury modifier. I’d recommend trying him without Unbending/Stalwart
At worst you should probably only pick one or the other depending on the stage
cloud crane
Yeah. Riley's TM itself gives +2 defenses
So. You're not going to go negative for the two turns of close combat
merry onyx

Sharp Entry 1 also kind of bad

i've been tinkering with SS Gladion's grid for a while... he would really appreciate 1 more energy (trying to get Fleur Cannon accuracy node, Brainpower and B-move refresh)

I guess that’s why they mentioned it in dev letter
Hopefully its in half anniversary update?

You’re better off using a different support like Misty or SS Blue who are decent offtype and actually good as tanks
restive cipher
What's a good general grid for NC Rosa at 3/5?
clever thorn
… ?
Also really depends on playstyle, like if you prefer sleep spam with TM1 or more aggressively with a different LS (but we’ll be able to change playstyle with more ease with LS presets)
uncut vessel
Not to be that guy, but, when is Sparky gonna update the doc?
hexed crane
Whenever he's got time

Fair enough.

Or learn to build their own grid
