Sync Grids

[sly fulcrum]

According to their team that is

[bronze dragon]

Keep coping

They don’t even know what they want it for when they ask for a grid

[echo crypt]

remember when Spark was busy and the grids took a bit to update that one time?

so yeah, don't expect people to be patient or reasonable

[bronze dragon]

Extra energy = more combinations = less brain activity from the beehive

[sweet parcel]

~~imagine using brain, just slap rats on every content ~~

[bronze dragon]

That’s not valid anymore

[sly fulcrum]

Rally says no

[bronze dragon]

You need to use the brain to choose what rats to use now

[fair saffron]

Anyone have a petey sync grid?

[gentle sun]

You’re probably grabbing the damage modifiers + Sync base power tiles + whatever nearby extra(s) you prefer in the vast majority of scenarios

Petey’s grid doesn’t actually have that much in the way of universally good tiles

[clever thorn]

They’re not even gonna look at a pair’s kit before pulling them and asking if they’re good for candying

[inland spoke]

where can i find sync grids for ghetis and kyurem

[sweet parcel]

In the pins of this channel

[inland spoke]

tenks

[uncut vessel]

Well, Sparky added the new units. So that's a start. Can't wait to see what they recommend.

[ashen bough]

We dont have grids for wally yet?

[sweet parcel]

Spark is working on it. In the mean time you can brainstorm your own builds and send them here to get feedback

I assume you are talking about Lodge Wally

[ashen bough]

Oh yeah

um it's no big deal my grid is scuffed lmao

[cloud crane]

Wouldn't bother with the tackle and growl MGRs tbh

[ashen bough]

What grid should i take instead?

[cloud crane]

Maybe something like this for starters. I'm sure there's going to be better options suggested though

The best part of his kit imo is Healthy buffer 5

Can be a good tank at full health

That along with growl and TM could help tank physical stages quite well

[old sage]

where do i find this?

[sweet parcel]

its the pinned doc

[old sage]

tyty

uhhh

can someone help me out wit a chase grid?

[sweet parcel]

what move level is he?

[old sage]

3/5

wait cuz staggering at 4/5 is lowkey broken

[paper cipher]

i think i might need a help out on building ss red's sync grid

after all, i am new so i had no idea and put them all in heatwave and LL blast burn

When will it be updated

[sweet parcel]

When Spark finishes

[signal oyster]

[sly fulcrum]

Or just build a grid yourself

[echo crypt]

[copper verge]

Just re-iterating that it'll take time for this update, I'm lacking time this month. Thanks for your patience
(meanwhile I added upgraded units for this month so that's a start I guess)

[hexed crane]

No worries Spark, take your time

[sly fulcrum]

Take all the time u need

Let people think their own grids

[bronze dragon]

That should happen regardless of his grids being out or not

I can
I just wanna check

Okay thank you

[old sage]

can someone pls help me wit a chase grid 4/5?

[stuck idol]

What's a good lucky skill for chase?

[copper verge]

Head Start or Adrenaline

[merry onyx]

So what's a good LS for pal victor? He has adrenaline on grid and I gave him stalwart for the azelf solo which lowkey i might keep

I'm guessing head start or another adrenaline though

[bronze dragon]

It’s quite flexible so depends on what you want him to do

Normally for supports we say HS1/Adr1 but there’s so many that maybe you want to make 1 support be immune to interference or status

[merry onyx]

Fair fair

He has status immunity on grid so interference immunity would be a good combo

Ty

[potent quail]

@rare sky Here.

allows crit buffs on yamper

[rare sky]

I wasn't really looking for crit buffs.

I was wondering if this kit is good.

[merry onyx]

if you're not looking for crit then why use sonia

[rare sky]

Defense buffs.

And Potion. And she's an Electric type pair. And... well yea.

[merry onyx]

then this? i guess

[potent quail]

hol on, there's something better than that.

this allows flinching on tackle as an extra option

strange you don't want crit buffs, but you do you

[rare sky]

I have never thought of these before.

Thanks for the help, guys.

[gentle sun]

Note that the type of your Support doesn’t matter. If you’re just looking for Defense buffs and Potion, Skyla’s a fantastic, free, option and would let you save Sonia for teams that want her full suite of buffs in content like CS

[rare sky]

I'm trying to think of a good setup for Lusamine & Buglady

Because this isn't working for me.

[merry onyx]

unfortunately; lusamine just sucks

that's realistically the best you’re gonna get

[rare sky]

Damn.

[hexed crane]

Are you looking for an on-type bug option?

[rare sky]

Not really.

This is kinda off topic but I find it funny how her defensive stats are lower than Eggmons

Pre-EX

Just looking for a way to make her good without her dying within the next 3 minutes

[zinc meadow]

I think the 20/20 is what contributes to the survivability, unfortunately.

[bronze dragon]

You can’t do magic: she’s frail, so best she can do is CS-like content, unless you use something like NC blue or other comps that combine defense buffs and offense debuffs

If only endure worked vs syncs or there was another endure status change that did

[rare sky]

Quick question, is there a team-building channel?

[bronze dragon]

Just #916852389347196958

[hexed crane]

If it's the very basics you may want to check out the guide in #1010307000346878062 as well

[gentle sun]

Lusamine’s Sync Grid is kinda whatever, tbh. As someone who uses her for CS regularly, you can absolutely make her work if you want, but she does demand more help from teammates than most since she’s unlikely to survive an enemy Sync Move and has about zero self-sufficiency

[sly fulcrum]

I'm guessing this is the standard grid for candice?

[odd valve]

I think I'm running the same but with double down 3 instead of the sync power

[bronze dragon]

Well they said standard

You can also drop sync stuff and go for either Agg1 + Combo Freebie 3 or Physical Boost 3 + DC9

[round bridge]

If the support can't top off the +2 attack then you should go Fierce Entry instead of sync power tiles

[sly fulcrum]

good suggestion

[sly fulcrum]

Pains of 1/5 grusha

[odd valve]

🤝

Think i'll still run him and some other support for that +2 atk

[elfin crypt]

Oh Candice is a striker/nuker?

[bronze dragon]

Yes?

[elfin crypt]

I never see kits for units I never pull lol

[signal oyster]

Waiting for updates grid list

[placid heart]

Spark has been busy

[hexed crane]

#1009587872342478908 message Spark has said it's going to take time

[echo crypt]

you've been told this twice

[bronze dragon]

Check the pins

[elfin crypt]

I swear someone just asked that

[echo crypt]

what a lovely reaction

[bronze dragon]

Damn that was funny

“Are you telling me to read? Screw you!”

[elfin crypt]

LMAO

Wait where did they go

[bronze dragon]

Maybe lost in the pins

[signal oyster]

[fading gulch]

daily reminder that people have lives outside of discord and you will have to acknowledge that

im a bit miffed too but dont hound for updates he’ll let you know when it happens

[sly fulcrum]

That's what this channel is for.. build your own grid ask for opinions

[fading gulch]

no what people are asking for is an update to the grid list

its the same vibe as tl update when

it happens when it happens and no one but spark knows when that will be

and if hes busy hes busy hes not gonna accommodate some random cuz they asked

[sly fulcrum]

That's why I'm saying people need to build their own grid and ask for improvements/opinions instead of relying on a guide every time

But saying this won't change anything anyways

[fading gulch]

i mean it seemed like it was a reply to me so my bad

[reef sentinel]

Is that an OK grid for chase ?

[bronze dragon]

I wouldn’t use Team Sharp Entry 1

Also if it’s 5/5 no reason to pick x spatk all mpr over sync burst 1

Well, the combination of x spatk all mpr and team grand entry 2 is redundant

[bronze dragon]

I never learn

[sonic slate]

Would this plus this tile be a good exr blue grid when the sync grid energy gets expanded, assuming a team is Paralysis reliant without sstred max move to set para

Like if I use him with anyone with Paralysis Synergy or whatever

[soft night]

Depends on the pair, if you're not in a EBE/UB the Atk/S.Atk down tiles aren't as required, and you go for things like Brainpower or Furious Brain instead incl HE1.

[high hull]

does anyone have a good 3/5 alcremie gridset?

[zinc meadow]

I asked you about trying to build one ^^;;;;;;;

[high hull]

that's fine.. i'm just curious on what others are running?

[soft night]

Something like this for sp.attackers with confusion multipliers

[high hull]

Oooo

[round yoke]

What's a good suppport grid for Darach?

like, debuffing to support a tech tank.

[sweet parcel]

You can try brainstorming a grid then send here to get advice on improvements

[round yoke]

Something like this?

Does this work or are there changes that need to be made?

[gentle sun]

Who specifically are you trying to have him help?

The only seriously important tiles for a supportive Darach build are First Aid and TM Pep Rally

So the rest of the grid depends on who you’re trying to assist

[round yoke]

was tryign to help Gordie and help Lodge Steven tank.

Darach wasn't tanking there.

[gentle sun]

Is there a specific reason you’re unable to fit a Support onto the team?

[round yoke]

Battle Rally.

Support wasn't on the menu and the only option would have been to spend an EX cake and use Calem.

It was Tech/Sprint.

Well, support WAS on the menu with NC Rosa and Aura Cynth but I'd rather save those.

[gentle sun]

I’d recommend heading over to #1009564564821639379 for advice on the specific stage then, rather than focusing on grids over here

[round yoke]

...They suggested I come here to ask for advice for a grid.

[gentle sun]

Ah

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/15900/39800?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFFRgZHSA

That’s a base for maximum debuffs

Adjust as needed, I guess

Can swap Easy Target for Defog MP Refresh, it doesn’t matter which of those tiles gets you to Weigh Down

Though tbh I don’t think you need to min-max Battle Rally that hard

[sonic slate]

just was thinking bout stuff, and, i know typically its worth it to candy favs and all but uhhh
would yall still double candy a fav if the only thing you really cared about was the bmove refresh

cause the more i look at Gladion's grid, the more i just feel like everything else is kinda just not that important sounding considering how hard the bmove already hits

[bronze dragon]

Depends what you want him to do

If it’s ontype CS then who cares

But for hard battles, the fact that his b move hits so hard is an incentive to use another one

Sure crit braindead multiplier sync is also a very good source of consistent damage for stages where you will sync many times

[zinc meadow]

I will agree it sounds cool, but it never hurts to try the dude at 1/5 first tbh

[shut rivet]

Not rlly sure what to put ? I know adrenaline would be good, but after that idk where else to go lol

[gentle sun]

Ignore Quick Cure/Natural Remedy for the most part since they’re far more niche tiles, and ignore the Sync Base Power tiles since they don’t make any meaningful difference

Depending on the team and stage you may be able to get rid of Team Grand Entry fore more flexible grids, but some options to go for if you gotta keep that are Thunder Shock Hostile Environment 9 and Circle MG->2

The HE9 tile being less valuable since Chase paralyzes opponents who hit him

Endurance is also a great tile pick

[shut rivet]

Ok thank you !

[gentle sun]

Note that some more refined grids for Chase will eventually be added to the pinned document, so once that happens feel free to check it

[rotund hatch]

thoughts? or should i go for a more sync focused grid

[sonic slate]

SDE isn't worth the energy, hes gonna delete ontype already without it

if you want more out of him take the 1st sync bmove refresh instead of SDE

[tawdry finch]

Just got Iono to 3/5 cuz fave

And just wondering

Is there more 3/5 grids that is pretty useful that the google doc doesnt show?

[hexed crane]

What does this mean?

The doc will have a couple of generalised presets that will suit most scenarios

You're free to change the grid as you like if you're aiming for something different

[hollow saddle]

Good Gladion grid?

[bronze dragon]

[pallid oak]

Is there a way to get all three of Overpower, Brainpower and Fleur Cannon Accuracy tile? 3/5 SS Gladion

[soft night]

All the new sync pairs for this month, haven't yet been added by Spark. He's been busy I guess.

[bronze dragon]

He said Gladion

[soft night]

[bronze dragon]

Cheapest way:

[ashen orchid]

🤔

[soft night]

If I'm dropping Acc, I usually pick up T↑9 and ignore Speedster.

[bronze dragon]

At 3/5, the 2 sync BP nodes give a higher damage boost than adding Speedster Sync 3

[soft night]

Would it be worth to drop +6 bp and go for the +25 on sync? (in my example above)

[bronze dragon]

Small difference, up to you

Neither is wrong, I'd keep it on B Move cause funnier number

[tawdry finch]

Oh its generalized

[ashen orchid]

what if i drop 6 bp on bottom for mgr?

[soft night]

Depends on the team. Glad's pretty fast.

[ashen orchid]

I... Am not very sure tbh, but I think this can brute force most of the content

But at the same time, these 2 are very splashable top tier support too

[bronze dragon]

Not related to this channel

But anyways no reason to use double support there

[fair saffron]

Does anyone have a ss gladion 3/5

As well as lucky skill? I’m assuming CS2 though

And I assume player and alcremie is vigilance?

[soft night]

3/5 builds typically go for Brainpower + Bmove restore. The rest is dependent on the team.

[fair saffron]

Thank you, yeah I just wanted the standard grid, I can always change it to battle specific ones later

[soft night]

Something like this is pretty generic.

[fair saffron]

Thank you, are you running CS2 with this grid?

[soft night]

You could also get Discourage 2, if you wanted to sync with him first. By Dropping a sync tile and the +power nodes.

[soft night]

Well CS2 would be the generic damage skill, yes.

[soft night]

Yeah vigilance or a deluxe skill of your choice.

Though if you have ssHau, ssMina, Bede, or Penny those would be great teammate choices.

Leaf (Clefable) is a free option that has Precision Pals + Statisfied Snicker to help Gladion with Accuracy and SpA debuffing.

[soft night]

3 options for those looking for ssGladion:

[brittle fog]

Anyone got a grid for riley yet that has Stalwart on it?

[hollow saddle]

Sync grid for alcremie?

And for Pitey?

[brittle fog]

You mean petey? There should be a grid up for him

Or I thought there was

This is what I have currently if you want to go by that for now

[grave monolith]

any builds for riley?

[heady flame]

this is what i have for now, switch Unbending and Stalwart for whichever is more useful on the given stage since they cost the same amount of energy, should work fine otherwise for a close combat/sync grid

[brittle fog]

Thankfully I only need stalwart for next week

[gentle sun]

Being 100% honest, that grid is kinda meh outside of like, some LG stages

[brittle fog]

It was the most I knew for now tbh, I don't remember what the discussion was back then when making it

[gentle sun]

His most universally useful tiles are probably his Sync boosting tiles and Paralysis Synergy, the rest of his grid is a lot more niche

[fading gulch]

did you mean to say ramming speed cuz he doesnt have paralysis tiles

[gentle sun]

I was talking about a Petey grid

[fading gulch]

oh

i only saw riley oops

[soft night]

his steel setup is better than fighting

[bronze dragon]

His set up is buffing speed which he does with either move

[soft night]

i meant his #1009587872342478908 setup

[bronze dragon]

Well it's not really better it's just that you have more things (sync) for fighting

[copper verge]

All grids done, thanks for your patience guys, appreciate the support I got this month despite the lack of time
#1008010844547842079 message

[celest fox]

Awesome, thanks as always Spark (and everyone else)!

[hexed crane]

Thanks for your work as always Spark & team!

[sonic slate]

anything else important or do i just spam hbeam tiles and whatnot from here

got dupe off the ticket

i barely use him outside of gauntlet now cuz i have 4/5 genesect

[clever thorn]

Leg Up 2 is good when it procs

Not really a great upgrade

[fading gulch]

ppe1 is good for consistency but all of his game changing tiles are higher move levels

[sonic slate]

is there much reason to candy him at all when i have Gilbert 4/5 already? i assume gilbert outperforms alder usually, and its hard to fit gauge for both 4mg users id imagine

unless youre using like ncrosa or someth similar with good gauge management and long anim

[bronze dragon]

Its Hilbert

If you only care about having 1 damage dealer per type then no

Personally I think pulling for strong limited units and duping them to use them ontype (aka once every 3 weeks) is dumb

[sonic slate]

the only reason i originally owned alder was cause of that old champion ticket lol, wouldnt of ever gone for him without that old select ticket

since at the time bug was my weakest type that the champs covered

[fading gulch]

i tried using both with nc blue and it just didnt work

[sonic slate]

yea i tried that and the gauge just... wasnt there lmao

[sweet parcel]

Meanwhile CBede carried their gauge like nothing Bede > Blue confirmed

[brittle fog]

Is anyone able to help figure out a way to get team pinpoint on this grid without getting rid of the other passives already established?

[gentle sun]

Is there a specific reason you need Status Immunity?

Very few stages have that as any form of concern

[brittle fog]

To counteract the speed drop from Para thanks to sidney

[gentle sun]

If the gauge speed is your only concern then don’t worry about that tile

Especially since Elaine is a 0-gauge Support

[brittle fog]

It will still mess with the other two

[gentle sun]

And the only version of Sidney where Paralysis is a major issue doesn’t Paralyze until right before he Syncs, when the fight is either a Sync nuke away from being done or close enough to done that it’s not gonna be a big deal

[zinc meadow]

I actually beat Sidney with paralysis on me.

[gentle sun]

You can also block the Paralysis entirely with flinch or sleep

Or if he fails to use the move due to paralysis/confusion

[brittle fog]

Still the issue would've been two of my team would've gotten hit by Para here, which would significantly drop speed and make fleur cannon take forever to even use once

I would like to flinch sure but I needed a bit of reassurance

[gentle sun]

If you’re using SS Gladion then by the time Thunder Wave comes out the fight is basically over anyway, and that’s assuming Sidney even gets to use it in the first place

It’s really not that big of a problem

SS Gladion is immune to statuses anyway

[brittle fog]

But not penny

[gentle sun]

It’ll be fine

I really think you’re overreacting to the Paralysis here

[brittle fog]

It wouldn't be just Para that'd be a problem, but also the original team I had before had no attack dropping

Or even defense raising

[gentle sun]

SS Gladion will shred Sidney fast enough that you’ll be fine

Trust your Sync Pairs

[brittle fog]

Wait penny can restore her own Para but only with 2/5, but I need one more support coin

[gentle sun]

Wait for candy usage until the free tickets are done, you might get a Penny dupe for free

Anyway, it’s impossible to get TM Shielded + TPE + Overwhelm + Status Immunity all at once on Elaine

So really just another reason to not worry about Status Immunity

[zinc meadow]

Plus Gladion shredded the EBE when all my other pairs were screwed. Just something to note.

[gentle sun]

Pretty sure the content in question is Fairy weak Sidney, but even still I doubt he’ll have a problem shredding through it with Fairy Rebuff

[zinc meadow]

Oh yeah, I’m just making a point. Like if he shreds an EBE all on his own…then what’s Sidney to him? Nothing.

[gentle sun]

Fair

[brittle fog]

Is there at least anyone here that can buff defense and/or drop attack at once for everyone that isn't blue cause I have him for phoebe

[gentle sun]

You don’t need both Attack debuffs and Defense buffs

Just Defense buffs will be fine given how much power SS Gladion is rolling with

[hexed crane]

When Gladion is there? You need neither for a standard pre sync CSMM

He'll obliterate the stage unless you actively handicap him with bad parameters

[gentle sun]

Probably, but if extra safety is desired slapping Skyla on the team should do the job and provide gauge support to boot

[zinc meadow]

Also better to go to #1009554906568462476 if you’re needing help with that now

[clever thorn]

I’m sorry Spark for what they just announced in dev letter

[hexed crane]

Time to employ some critical thinking of your own everyone

[sly fulcrum]

I mean the doc specifically indicate they consider the max potential for each sync pair so it's +10 energy for grid

It's still a lot of work but good luck spark and team

[clever thorn]

The Tierlist is max potential but the sync grids have been different move levels in the past

[jolly thicket]

Just an example grid with the additional energy thing, what do you think?
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/13003/65800?s=3&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=13010602&g=AAECAwQFCgsMDxAjJSkqLC0u

[clever thorn]

Is that assuming 3/5 is 6 energy?

[jolly thicket]

Yes

[hexed crane]

Is there a specific reason you want Refreshing Rain?

Because you can afford soften up instead

[jolly thicket]

This is my grid on my "cheap" clear for Anabel

[hexed crane]

Ah, that's fair

[elfin crypt]

Oh wait so the letter meant 5/5 is +10?

[jolly thicket]

#poma-questions message

[elfin crypt]

Gotcha

[sly fulcrum]

Roxanne gets slightly easier set up if 3/5 really is +6 energy

[hexed crane]

Nicee

[jolly thicket]

Not bad for him actually
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/10001/61201?s=3&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=13010602&g=AAECAwQFERQVGBseICEkKCst&x=true

[uncut vessel]

+10 energy for all 5/5 Sync Pairs. This will be interesting.

[uncut vessel]

Also, I don't expect Spark to overwork themselves and make grids for the extra +2 energy for each Sync Move Level. That'd be asking for too much.

Just let us sort it out ourselves.

[sly fulcrum]

People will still ask for it

[sonic slate]

I imagine they’ll just go over them in small batches or when they get expansions/etc, realistically.

[sly fulcrum]

We alr have people asking for 1/5 grids here

[sonic slate]

like for example maybe the LA pairs will be when their given expansion events rerun or something

[sly fulcrum]

Spark and team should just take it slowly

[sonic slate]

Yeah they deserve the opportunity to chill honestly

[sly fulcrum]

The day after the grid energy cap unlocked is pokemon presents too

[sonic slate]

They do so much for us already

Gonna be a tad funny having presents be the “reveal” of anni units when the datamine will prob have them the day before

[sly fulcrum]

It's also not confirmed it's 2 energy every move level

[sonic slate]

We will know specifics tomorrow anyways

[sly fulcrum]

Dena could pull a +5 energy only at 4/5 and make the last move level +5 for all we know

[sonic slate]

So for now unless planning for a 5/5 grid take plans with a pile of salt

It’d be evil if it isn’t atleast 3 energy on 3/5 imo

Considering the number of grids that’d fix

[teal raft]

How’s spark feeling about remaking all of the docs

[sonic slate]

I could see them doing +1 per with +5 extra on 5/5

[sly fulcrum]

Probably really bad that doc has been there for years

[sonic slate]

Would be rough but it is a thing I can see happening without causing riots

[sly fulcrum]

Mountain effort to remake the entire thing

[sonic slate]

I’d imagine spark will need to pin something about the subject to keep people from bugging ‘em too badly about their 10 energy extra lol

Cause knowing the community. This channels gonna get flooded tomorrow I think

[sly fulcrum]

I'm hoping it get flooded with people coming up with their grids

Instead of askers

[sonic slate]

I hope so too, but realistically askers gonna be coming like “what do I do for this”
I’m gonna try to come up with my own atleast for my favs but might drop by for advice between specific options if I get stumped

That’s my game plan atleast

And hey it’s finally a use for excess sync orbs

Downside is the sync grid screen is gonna be flooded with the “grid available” icon when I had it closing in on completed

[elfin crypt]

.. you know what

I can see +0, +1, +2 , +3, + 4 happening lol. For each sync level.

[bronze dragon]

It's just speculation now, it could very well be 0/0/0/5/5 or even 0/0/0/0/10 for all they care

[merry onyx]

this is my reward for 5/5 nate

max damage sync

[jolly thicket]

No Unova Circle Extension tho

[merry onyx]

taking that would mean dropping a sync node

i did try 😔

or dropping both sync pus

[bronze dragon]

You'd rather drop Speedster Sync 5

[jolly thicket]

Is this better?
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/10001/61201?s=5&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=13010602&g=AAECAwQFERITFhkbHiAhJCgrLQ&x=true

[bronze dragon]

[jolly thicket]

Wut ye think? It has all the multipliers

[bronze dragon]

I think you should see the grid I replied to

Because it's exactly the same as the one you posted

Grabbing all multipliers isn't always better

[jolly thicket]

How is it exactly the same? It doesn't have the two +25 sync move tiles and I have Speedster's Sync 5 in its place

[bronze dragon]

[jolly thicket]

Oh well

[bronze dragon]

The grid I replied to

[jolly thicket]

Oh that

Now I see it

[jolly thicket]

Hmmmm, you're right, dropping Speedster's Sync is better

[rare sky]

What is a good grid for Riley?

[hexed crane]

Check the pins

[rare sky]

Ok. Thank you.

[uncut vessel]

The only one who has a 1/5 grid, realistically, is Serena and Delphox.

[zinc meadow]

Or Steven.

[bronze dragon]

You can pick almost everything with Steven

Serena does have combinations at 1/5 but you'd have to be really newbie to ask what to pick

Skyla is a nice one

[sweet parcel]

Mael adds another doc to his maintaining list

[elfin crypt]

I find it neat that some pairs use up all energy at 1/5 haha. 750 exactly

[elfin crypt]

Well I guess we know what to use all our coop sync orbs on lol

[sweet parcel]

You need 100k sync orbs to get +10 energy on a 5/5 pair

20k per move level

[elfin crypt]

Guess we’re buying all those sync orbs from events now lol

[echo crypt]

time to pick and choose, at least it won't be as overwhelming to go over our grids

[elfin crypt]

Don’t forgot about this guys haha

Y’all got 37 minutes

[clever thorn]

[sonic slate]

Well, guess I’m being picky about these. Least we were right in the scaling.

Might convince me to 4/5 one of my master fairs but not till I have a bigger orb surplus

Tbh thankful that it isn’t gonna leave my entire page of “unspent orbs” icon

[timid marten]

Much more expensive than I thought, sheesh. Gonna be grinding the Sync Orb daily thing again

[tranquil raven]

Aight anni Lillie is an easy pick for me

But do I want power flux 3 or propulsion 1 with that 10 extra energy

How much is the damage boost with power flux?

[bronze dragon]

+0.03 per gauge

[kindred stag]

I dunno if I will really maintain it ahah

[short geode]

I wonder if i should replace this node with brainteaser or cakewalk (it’s mechbert 5/5)

[sly fulcrum]

Grids are out for new pairs

Thanks stdk

[shrewd sparrow]

& the gang, never forget them 😛

[signal oyster]

Any good?
With energy cap increase

[gentle sun]

Yeah, you hit all the important tiles

[signal oyster]

So will she be the best physical flying strike

[fringe jackal]

Better than the celesteela pair?

[signal oyster]

I heard she nukes harder than her

[fringe jackal]

Dang

[signal oyster]

Should I take brave bird mgr?

[gentle sun]

No need to do that, gauge shouldn’t be an issue with proper teambuilding

[fringe jackal]

You could do this instead

It’s -8 so you would need 4/5

[gentle sun]

Well she’s a 4-star Strike pair

So that should be easy enough

[fringe jackal]

Yeah

Just expensive sync orb wise lol

[gentle sun]

"Redemption" implies that Skyla's worst current alt is anything less than a solid option

Which is not the case, since Skyla's worst alt is still a solid option

[signal oyster]

Yea my bad

[merry onyx]

Would I rather pick up the +20 attack in the top right or the sync node?

[bronze dragon]

Neither

[merry onyx]

[bronze dragon]

I'd rather pick either oar1, fa4 or speedy entry 2

[merry onyx]

Alright

Like this?

[bronze dragon]

For example

You had HS1 before so I don't know what's the team you are planning

[merry onyx]

Usually with him I do dojo gloria and nc calem and I wanted the -3 countdown

Forgor calem had propulsion on TM

So yeah speedy entry would be better

[bronze dragon]

You'll have a hard time buffing your speed

[merry onyx]

Ik, I just really dont like the hilbert + may core lol

I'll bank on fast track

[fading gulch]

he only has ft3 and speedy entry iirc i think you’d want someone else to buff speed

[merry onyx]

Fast track 2

[fading gulch]

ew

[merry onyx]

Yea

He has a dire need for a masters day expansion

Hence my name

If he got another speedy entry or maybe ft9 i'd be content

[fading gulch]

praise dena i can get nuke grid and ripple effect charging infliction

[merry onyx]

hooray!

[fringe jackal]

this probably best right?

[zinc meadow]

That looks pretty good to me

Oh @shrewd sparrow Just wanna double check: you didn’t input the energy cap into PoMa Tools, right?

[shrewd sparrow]

no need to do anything tbh...

is just counting - Energy haha

[zinc meadow]

Oh so you weren’t planning to. Ok that’s fine too! Just wanted to double check it all.

[shrewd sparrow]

I could do stuff, but it works even without it

[zinc meadow]

Maybe we’ll wait for now to see if it becomes a demand.

[merry onyx]

It shouldnt

As long as you can count it's unnecessary

Which I would hope people know how to count

[echo crypt]

you'd be surprised

[merry onyx]

Just add 2 energy for each move level you have

[fading gulch]

hold on is this grid actually good or not idk lol

[bronze dragon]

People should learn to screenshot the energy in use too when sharing grids

[fading gulch]

oh yeah

well i know mine is fine

[sonic slate]

is something like this good for scirida? thinking would prob be looking at EVictor + an EVA buffer for sides, with syncing victor first then irida

gonna have to dig to see if we have a crit+eva buffer that id have access to, prob

first thought was lodgerola but she only selfbuffs eva it looks like

[merry onyx]

ny lillie

[gentle sun]

If you’re ok using Dire Hit+ once then BP Janine

[bronze dragon]

I'd just bet on NC Rosa to top up

[sonic slate]

the one Lillie that I don't own lmao

[bronze dragon]

She's too bad to justify a slot for her to get +2 evasion

[short geode]

trying to make a dps build, is it ok

[fading gulch]

is dps purely move damage

cuz imo its a waste to not pick brainpower at least

especially since ur getting brainteaser which means his innate is also being set up

[short geode]

yea it works like a second dps when you do elec/fire/water/ice

[fading gulch]

meh

im not sold

[short geode]

his off type nuke is meh so i dont take sync node anw

[fading gulch]

is it?

with 5/5 you have brainpower and cakewalk

[short geode]

i mean why should you off type with him when you can just sync with the on type unit

i have a full sync nuke build for bug stage but that's a different story

[fading gulch]

im pretty sure off type his nuke is still strong but you need to build for it differently as a whole

and im not sure if you can get the second rebuff

[short geode]

his good nodes are too far from each other so it's a pain to get all of them

[fading gulch]

exactly

[short geode]

anw my dps build idea is using him in a duo ''strike" team, so sync with on type unit and just maximize his dps is better imo

[fading gulch]

what does bug enigma even do

[short geode]

-1 spdef in bug stage but i just pick it for cheapest way for 2nd rebuff

no wait it's -1 spdef when his move is bug type so it can also debuff in other stages excluding 4 other ontype ones but eh you wont use him outside that anyway

[bronze dragon]

His offtype damage is very good both sync and attack move

More like it's super overkill to get a 5/5 SS Hilbert to use ontype, but ok at least this is a unit that ontypes 5 types

[soft night]

For +6 Energy, how does this look for 3/5 ncRed
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/949078726228987954/1211901520715710494/image.png?ex=65efe23e&is=65dd6d3e&hm=f1a1bd6ce2fd7761382c48b701910d9924e30fed3d2f4ecaba0e9d3a93dc0218&

[short geode]

here my full nuke build, he really cant pick both

can get 1 more sync node by removing brainteaser

not sure if -2 rebuff + brainpower is better than -1 rebuff + brainpower + cakewalk

[short geode]

nice idea tyty

[soft night]

you'd go from Raw 6,509,160 to 8,548,254

so 30% stronger sync with the later

[short geode]

so this may be better for nuke?

[soft night]

depends on the partner, I wouldn't want him to have to setup both def and speed debuffs

[short geode]

i just want to find a way to get both brainpower and cakewalk, there's not any better than super slowering for the rest of energy

or you can go for more techno blast nodes ig

[zinc meadow]

I’d take it

Tho I’m wondering why not Furious Brain

[bronze dragon]

Looks like he's aiming for 1st sync deletion

[round yoke]

Hey, question, how is the sync grid list gonna change with the new energy cap raising?

just curious since some routes seme like htey'd cahnge a good bit with the extra allowance you get from 3/5.

guessing i'tll take a bit before they update?

sorry if I"m sounding stupid on this.

[storm obsidian]

Ive given max70 for cynthia, palkia, solgaleo, mew and bruno. Im waiting to put them around stages.

[sweet parcel]

there is a lot of pair to update so it will take a long time

dont expect to see it soon

[dry glen]

So would there be a guide in who to prioritise for the energy increase especially for gen pool units

[sweet parcel]

for now, no

[sweet parcel]

with 10 additional energy Tate can pick Aggravation on his nuke grid now this is literally the best unit to unlock more energy on everyone should do that

[tidal crest]

which + is best for both [or at least the most consistent]? (sry i haven't been on this game for a really long time)

[sweet parcel]

there is no best grid, each one has at least an use

you should read the disclaimer at the top of the doc first

[proper spade]

1st and last time I'll ever increase energy cap

[merry onyx]

based choice

[fringe jackal]

Sorry for ping but this is what I use

But if you want to nab Brainpower I use this

[ashen orchid]

What's this?

[gentle sun]

You can now raise the energy cap on grids to a maximum of 70. Max of +2 energy per Move Level, need 20k co-op Sync Orbs to increase the cap by 2 energy

[ashen orchid]

But when I try to add, it goes red neg tho?

Isit not up yet?

[gentle sun]

You need to manually increase the cap by using 20k co-op orbs per 2 energy added

If the attempt at increasing the cap goes to red negative then you don't have enough orbs

[ashen orchid]

Wait

Oh fk 20k seems quite huge

[gentle sun]

Because it is huge

This is pretty clearly a more endgame-oriented upgrade

[fringe jackal]

It is huge, luckily though you can get 100k sync orbs a month through battle rally

[ashen orchid]

ah

thanks

only have 400k with me

shit

[fringe jackal]

400k better than most

Most of the time you never need to invest a full +10, but 2 or 4

[ashen orchid]

ig ill hold on them for now

[proper spade]

Endgame/Whale
Need to be 5/5 to get the full 10 energy

[gentle sun]

Yes, but a lot of pairs don't necessarily need the full 10 energy

[proper spade]

Fair

Mostly used on supports tbh

[gentle sun]

There's lots of cases where a pair is only a couple energy short of having a particular grid setup

[ashen orchid]

yup, my metagross now have 10 extra energy to use on fking ntg

cause the expansion on 4 and 5 are so bad bruh

wish yall make a list on who have prior to unlock cap, that's too many sync pair for me to go through

[fringe jackal]

All sync pairs love the extra energy so there’s no set list

[gentle sun]

At some point in the future the grid doc is likely gonna be updated, but it's gonna be a very slow process due to how many beneficiaries there are

[fringe jackal]

I would say you should reserve it for OP Favorites by experimenting on pomatools

[fading gulch]

ss hilbert got a good upgrade with just +6

[fringe jackal]

Same with NC Red

[proper spade]

+4 Sonia can pick up both Potion MPR, TM MPR and crit, and Spark HE and Fast track

[sweet parcel]

she cant pick all Potion and TM tiles even at +10 energy

bad game design smh

[fringe jackal]

If only on the ropes 8 wasn’t in the way

[sweet parcel]

curse that damned tile

[fringe jackal]

Grid expansion when

[proper spade]

On the Ropes overrated

+10 Hilbert can pick up DC2 Aqua tail

[fringe jackal]

What grid are you using?

[proper spade]

Dropping Shielded let's you go for a +4 Aggravate Waterfall with either MPR or 30 speed

[proper spade]

Or just drop XSpeed MPR to get both and shielded at +10

[primal wasp]

Grid for Rose at 4/5 with the Extra Energy (Let’s you pick up the extra Dynamax Node)

Nothing too insane from my view on his Grid, will be looking at 5/5 Lysandre next

Some units must have bigger jumps here

[bronze dragon]

Being able to use this at 4/5 is great

[primal wasp]

Oh the Sync Nuke

[fading gulch]

gmax nuke*

[primal wasp]

Real

[fading gulch]

its 600 bp lol

[bronze dragon]

660

[crystal bay]

Given the new changes in grids, will the kits be updated in the doc or not?

[sweet parcel]

check the newest annoucement in #1008010844547842079

[subtle oasis]

What is the best sync grid for him 3/5

[gentle sun]

Grid recommendations are in the pinned document

I highly recommend taking some time to really look at grid recommendations for all Sync Pairs and compare them to the base kits so you can get a better understanding of which Sync Pairs like which grid tiles

[subtle oasis]

Many time I try to find the pinned don’t find it

[gentle sun]

Settings

Discord’s new UI is dumb

It’s Settings -> Pinned Messages

[subtle oasis]

Ooh thanks 🙏

[primal wasp]

Yeah I hate it

Looking for good NCSilver Grid for SSDiantha; probably going to run something like Paulo or Ingo as third idk yet

Have this for 3/5 with extra energy unlocked

[copper finch]

Literally what I asked to lol

[primal wasp]

Don't know if Piercing Gaze is worth it though

[hexed crane]

It's not

[primal wasp]

I am still not sure if I should sync with him first and then SSDiantha for clearing mid

[hexed crane]

Are you intending to sync with Silver at all?

[primal wasp]

Okay, should I go for more support nodes then?

I actually don't know

I think not, since I will likely want to sync with Diantha and my Support if I can figure that out

Currently have Paulo as third and he wants to sync

The Mega tax is tempting though for Silver

[sonic slate]

is this a good geeta grid? i ended up deciding to take a peek at her kit and, uh, yeah no clue how good she actually is but, setupless dps that smacks everyone seems... interesting.

[fading gulch]

i dont really think she needs gauge increase so maybe drop that for the rock slide tile and get the pmun?

[sonic slate]

like this? would need 60k to fit mighty friend tho

my backlog of that is already like 780k or so

[fading gulch]

ally sets

i dont think mighty friend is necessary

[timid marten]

Depends on if +4 PMUN is needed in a certain scenario

[bronze dragon]

Reminder to include energy in your grid screenshots

[zinc meadow]

[fading gulch]

…eh?

[timid marten]

Her TM already gives +3

[fading gulch]

i know

[timid marten]

Mighty Friend would make it +4

[fading gulch]

but the tile i mentioned would start her at +1 and gives her +4 for B mortal spin

its more selfish but i think its a better tile overall

[bronze dragon]

I'd say this is the mandatory skeleton grid for standard Geeta build, 9 (15) energy left for something like sync BP node, mighty friend 9, potent toxin 2 or poisonous acceleration 2

[sonic slate]

is ruthless toxin not worth it then?

[fading gulch]

its more of a gauntlet tile

[sonic slate]

ah

[elfin crypt]

I can’t decide which unit to break cap of LMAO

[sinful smelt]

BP Morty

[bronze dragon]

You can make an alternative grid with it and maybe pair it with her personal lucky skill for stages that are heavily influenced by debuffs

Otherwise the only debuff you care about is defense + her ideal partner is Oleana anyways

[clever thorn]

Ig since Geeta has so much PMUN she won’t miss out on too much from CS2 in favour of her Custom LS?
I guess we can swap it around whenever so it shouldn’t matter

Probably not that great for shorter battles anyway

[bronze dragon]

Yeah you can swap and drop CS2 for those kind of stages

[ripe verge]

What’s the benefit of unlocking energy caps ? Am confused about the feature lol

[fading gulch]

its fairly self explanatory

more energy for grids but it costs a lot of orbs

[clever thorn]

Energy is the thing that caps how many sync tiles you can take

[ripe verge]

Meaning we can go over the 750 ?

[clever thorn]

Pretty much

[ripe verge]

Also - am a returning player so trying to catch up

[fading gulch]

it goes from 60 to 70 at 5/5 each move level increments by 2

[ripe verge]

Ty for the info !

[tawdry finch]

Whats a good 70 energy 3/5 grid for Iono?

[high fractal]

wouldnt 70 energy iono grid be a 5/5 grid

[tawdry finch]

Im too broke

[high fractal]

so its a 66 energy grid

[tawdry finch]

So the 70 is not worth at 3/5?

[high fractal]

you cant get 70 energy if ur unit isnt 5/5

[tawdry finch]

Oh

[high fractal]

it goes up 2 energy from every move level

[tawdry finch]

What can I do with a 66 energy Iono

[high fractal]

so 1/5 is 62 energy

idk if u can even make this any better

with 6 energy

[tawdry finch]

So sad

[velvet magnet]

Is it worth it to give up on that +20 spark and exchange for 6 more energy to grid him for that hail boost as well?

[merry onyx]

its a curse that increase cap is now where reset grid used to be. while updating gloria's grid cuz i got her 3/5 i unlocked 4 more energy for her

damn you muscle memory

[vivid yoke]

What grids have you guys been giving extra energy to? My Cynthia is 5/5 so i gave her the full 70 so I could grab Ramming Speed on top of all of the sandstorm setting tiles

[merry onyx]

I've just been giving it to my favs (Raihan, SS Grim, NC Nate)

I'd say just do about the same, if the extra 2-10 energy can improve any of your favorites go for it

[warm magnet]

Plenty of them. Like Dragonite 5/5. All i know is, 1mil sync orbs down to 100k ish now💀

[placid heart]

How is this grid for leon

Not sure I really like it because it misses power flux and his damage feels low w/o but maybe the smart command will make it fine

[gentle sun]

Power Flux 3 is 12-18% damage at most depending on if you have 4 or 6 bars for the fight

I think he’ll probably be fine without

[idle kernel]

Is there a list to know which units have been unlocked new sync tiles?
I just noticed some have new tiles

[gentle sun]

You can see which Sync Pairs are getting new grid tiles this month over in #1012256199128915968

[crystal bay]

Something is wrong with Karen's bite+poison build in the doc. It says 748 orbs with 1 energy remaining, but when I try to copy it in game it goes -1 orb and you need to unlock the grid.

[gentle sun]

Hmm, weird

[crystal bay]

False alarm. I was wrong.

Sorry....

[gentle sun]

Ah. No worries, it happens and the mistake was realized quickly

[fair saffron]

What’s the kind of standard Geeta grid people are running?

[bronze dragon]

Scroll a bit up

[misty sapphire]

Any lucky skill recommendations for Argenta and Skarmory? I just realized they had Vigilance in their grid once at 3/5

[sweet parcel]

its in the sync grid doc pinned here in case you missed my advice in #poma-questions

[timid marten]

Good 5/5 Grid?

This is with 62 energy

[merry onyx]

Couldnt you take the 2 moonblasts on the right instead to save energy

Or is it more expensive

[sly fulcrum]

I would just ignore midpoint mend and go for the bottom right since she has self heals, that and danger guard can cover for that 1 turn of moonlight

[timid marten]

Fair, thanks for both of the suggestions. I'll take them into consideration

[fair sleet]

Wow exclusive lucky skills are a thing now. Definitely might affect grid building and a units strength.

[shrewd sparrow]

if you're never syncing with Lance, yeah, it can be useful

if not, CS2 is better

[clever thorn]

Presets are good for that

[soft night]

I need to spend some orbs today before reset. Too many pairs! 🫠

The only psychic notable expansion I saw was being able to give up a sync tile to get Hide and Sync on Lusamine. But afaik there are no psychic Acc debuffers

[zinc meadow]

About that #bot-zone message

Yes I know, Bianca’s is random, but it’s something

[soft night]

Get that Unfortituos out of my face

[stark berry]

Yes cs2 is more reliable, but if you have a spare slot is great

Personally I have pinpoint entry and headstart as spare lucky skills for my 1/5 lance so I will keep cs2

[soft night]

Why didn’t Oak show up. He has unfort9

[stark berry]

When kinesis Alakazam?

[echo crypt]

bot is a bit weird sometimes with search

I remember getting only a couple results for evasion buffs when it was supposed to return more

[soft night]

Prob because Annie specified ‘an opponent’

Oak is aoe

May I introduce expanded +6 energy Discombob LuSSa

[misty sapphire]

What’s a good grid for Duraludon at 3/5?

[echo crypt]

ok, tried a search and it was lame, no results lol, no idea why

[soft night]

Check the grid document for recommended 3/5s

Steel is mostly top left quadrant

[misty sapphire]

Where can I find that?

[soft night]

In the pins

[misty sapphire]

Oh I found it

[zinc meadow]

Maybe the bot needs to be fixed with that ig

[sonic slate]

Yeah the bot is definitely broken lmao

It thinks red sets pt

#bot-zone message

[zinc meadow]

Oh I forgot to reply, checking into it

[fair saffron]

Best skill for Geeta is CS2?

[bronze dragon]

Most generic, but it gets diluted with her multipliers and PMUNs so you can use her personal skill or some other utility not missing much by dropping CS2

[sonic slate]

I personally use her unique cause basically might as well be unfort9 on lucky skill with her kit

Fun unit for unga bunga enjoyer like me

[timid marten]

I just love how you can swap between her exclusive skill, CS2 and Head Start or something at will... Lucky Skill changes were A+

[echo crypt]

we love flexibility

[tawdry finch]

What Legendary Adventure Pair got the most benefit from extra energy?

[fair saffron]

Anybody have a standard grid for NC Silver? Also he is CS2 lucky skill?

[round bridge]

[blazing pawn]

Actually immediately making use of the extra energy option

This feels like the right grid for all around use

[crystal bay]

Can I copy that? I doubt his sync can nuke, so I want some balance between sync and buddy move.

[rancid parrot]

got a 2/5 silver first time playing

how should i fill it

[zinc meadow]

Do you have other options you can grid first?

[rancid parrot]

i got 1/5 ss steven

[zinc meadow]

Most pairs want 3/5 before grid is fine to grid.

[rancid parrot]

😦

[zinc meadow]

Because at lower levels, just take whatever is there.

But it’s better to see if you have other options for gridding first. Like if you’re new, the Legendary Adventures pairs get 5/5 for free.

[rancid parrot]

if i can get the f2p lucario 5/5 gonna grid him then

[zinc meadow]

Then focus on that first if your orbs are low as well. Better to use them wisely in that case.

[gentle sun]

You can fully grid Riley at 3/5, btw

He doesn’t have 4/5 or 5/5 tiles

[potent quail]

so something insane i found that I will be doing..... if you uncap Elaine....

I can't believe Elaine has the Power of Pi.

[fading gulch]

am i missing something

cuz this looks very suboptimal lol

[potent quail]

this is solely for omni debuffing and increasing her defenses from passives.

[fading gulch]

erm

sterner stuff and brain brawn are damage reduction

if you need the defense buffs you need shielded and barricade buddies

[potent quail]

i know they're damage reduction, that's what i meant. apologies

[fading gulch]

hmm well i guess that makes sense

but i think you could get the def buffs

or one of them at least

[bronze dragon]

You can also get a grid with SS2+Shielded and another with BB2+Barricade Buddies

[fading gulch]

yeah

[bronze dragon]

And if the stage is dual sided I would prefer stat buffs because they're for all the team

[potent quail]

and I can still get Slippery for evasion strats if need be.

[bronze dragon]

Yeah in general she gets a great boost from energy cap, she has many useful nodes

Like literally if you read every red and yellow node you could say they're all good

Except Protect MGR4 lol

What's a recommended 1/5 champion silver sync grid

[gentle sun]

There are none, he doesn’t have any notable tiles available at 1/5

[copper finch]

So just get everything

[gentle sun]

I’d personally recommend not getting anything yet and saving the orbs for pairs with more grid access

A full 1/5 grid on NC Silver is gonna have less impact than a full 3/5 grid on someone else

[copper finch]

He is still usable then yeah

[gentle sun]

Yeah, his base kit is super strong

[copper finch]

Dope

Do may and Steven work together

Cuz I have ours for them

[gentle sun]

Which May and which Steven?

[copper finch]

Ss Steven and 2022 Anni may

[gentle sun]

They work fairly well together by virtue of Anniversary May setting Psychic Terrain, which boosts SS Steven’s damage

[copper finch]

I see thank you cobalt

[sonic slate]

Is sand hit pmun or whatever worth it? Just looking at the grid to gauge how big the nuke is. Since his grid looks to be mostly nuke from what I’m reading

I know the doc doesn’t really cover expansion for most part so just figured I’d ask directly here

Cause I’m more than willing to energy expand master fairs

[fading gulch]

for 20k orbs thats fine tbh

but also considering the fact his passives are 70%

pmun has the potential to be diluted

[sonic slate]

Fair. I could also get the accuracy tile for stone edge I suppose.

Either way his sync for a mega doesn’t seem bad at all, glad he has the two 9 multis rather than just one or something

Probably will end up doing redcuno first unless I end up unhappy with base

[cloud crane]

Just my personal opinion. Maybe can forego the sand hit physical boost 9 and the top sync tile for entry physical boost 2

No need of extra energy as well

Then you'd be using TM, Johto circle, sync and get like a +5 PMUN boosted B rock slide. Trying to compensate for his sync kinda overlooks his best stuff which is the B move

Better not to quad queue after sync since you will be flinching either ways

And sprint role EX as well

[fringe jackal]

NC Silver has a bad sync?

oh its base 192

you can bring it up to 242 tho

and sand blaster 9 ofc

[sly fulcrum]

Yeah personally I don't see the point of 3/5 him for my team since Paulo will always take the first sync

His utility is good too but not necessary too

[copper finch]

What's a good sync grif for ss Steven 2/5

Grid

[sonic slate]

You kinda just get the sync bp tiles and any important yellow/red tiles at 2/5 for your prefs I think if not mistaken…

Most pairs are self explanatory on what you get at 2/5

Hence why the doc usually waits for 3/5 to even give grids

[copper finch]

I see

What is sync BP btw

[sonic slate]

The purple tiles. Usually in places like this

Although I think all of stevens are like middle top of his?

Just double checked

Three up there and the other top left at 3/5

[copper finch]

I got all 3 at top

[rancid parrot]

How should i grid the f2p lucario

One message removed from a suspended account.

[bronze dragon]

Sounds cool, I've been messing around mainly with my limiteds over 5/5 to see if any gets a noticeable boost

I liked SS Roxie for example

[hexed crane]

Ty Spark!

[buoyant cloud]

hi! what sync grid would u guys reccomend for 4/5 sabrina & alakazam from the ones on the doc?

I have SS Steven, mentioning just cause it might be relevant info

[sweet parcel]

You can copy all her 3/5 builds and make up to 4 presets

[buoyant cloud]

I dont have that many orbs I think to do 3 diff presets

or do I just have to spend once

nvm I went for it and checked how it works LOL, ty I didnt know that!

[sweet parcel]

Yup, making new presets doesnt cost additional orbs

Resetting entire grid doesnt cost any orbs either

[gentle sun]

With the caveat that the orbs are converted to pair-specific orbs

But as long as you plan to grid the pair anyway there’s no waste

[timid marten]

I assume this grid is fine for 3/5 Tank T-Tar?

[gentle sun]

I can’t say I recommend a tank grid in general on NC Silver

[timid marten]

There's one in the pins but for 4/5, I guess it mainly caters to his support capabilities

[gentle sun]

I’d imagine that’s largely more oriented towards longer content like LG

I could be wrong though

[timid marten]

Certainly possible, I just like having the presets set in case they're needed or I want to test stuff out. Grid looked fun, offering damage reduction and still offering Circle extention

[elfin crypt]

… huh

Lodge Skyla’s double down/ super synced grid in the doc needs 762 energy. Was that intentional?

[high fractal]

you can expand your energy from 60-70 depending on ur move level. id imagine most new pairs will have grids with more than 60 energy going forward

[elfin crypt]

No I know that we can do it, it’s just that it’s the first grid I saw that broke the 750 energy

[gentle sun]

I think there’s a few grids here and there of extra energy, it’s just not something that’ll be done for every Sync Pair (and it may even only be done for future Sync Pairs)

[elfin crypt]

Gotcha

[copper verge]

#1008010844547842079 message

Most new units and updates got some examples with some extra energy (not going too far unless it's units with 4/5 and 5/5 tiles in general)

[velvet magnet]

SS Diantha it's your time to shine

[stark berry]

Now I guess "budget" grids make sense (I mean standard 60 energy) since the unlock is quite expensive and expanding an unit to 70 feels like giving Rolex since it takes a while to farm 100k orbs

I would say for stuffs like lodge, BP, or old gen pool, I guess 70 energy grids are feasible if you can afford the orbs and the grid gets much better

Personally I'm trying to just unlock the cap for units that really need that extra tile and I'll try to cap just for that tile

[primal wasp]

Is it just Paulo, Annihan, and SSDiantha that get major power boosts from the cap increase?

Because those are the only names listed so I assume so

Or at least for now perhaps

Because Rose also sort of gets places with the new sync energy increase

[copper verge]

Not at all, it's just units that I play a lot myself (and benefit from it), so I went for the boost. The grids doc is initially for myself so I just update it as I go ^^

[primal wasp]

Ah that sounds good then, thanks for the clarification

[copper verge]

[primal wasp]

Does Lysandre getting the ability to hit Brainpower+CS3 help him a lot? He has the ability to hit another utility nod with the increased cap at 5/5 but I don’t have enough orbs to actually test it out for myself.

I really like Downside Up as a nod but Rejuvenation 6 is also decent for double Striker

[fading gulch]

he really just wants downside up and brainpower

[primal wasp]

So then it is pretty good because he can hit the CS3 Nod too

Boosting his damage

[fading gulch]

i guess but hes more of a tank ironically enough

[copper verge]

Yes Lysandre benefits from the increased cap, cause he can get both the Tank/Utility tiles alongside dmg increase. Though it's irrelevant if you're not planning to tank with him and just focus on DPS

[fading gulch]

isnt he still worse than post expansion blue tho

i think its a waste to take him all the way to 5/5 and not capitalize on his tanking capability

[copper verge]

Comparison wasn't the point anyways, he's not strictly a DD regardless. And yes, going 5/5 is mostly for tanking + DPS niche, otherwise might as well go for better DD units. But anyone is free to invest in what they like and the question was about him specifically ^^

[primal wasp]

In regards to tanking, having him be the lead unit is tanking?

[primal wasp]

Or just regarding taking damage?

[rare sky]

Is this a good grid for Piers?

[fading gulch]

first slot

healthy buffer 5 + downside up and oblivion wing’s self recovery makes him very legit as a tank

[stone chasm]

There is a .doc listing option to unlock cap Grids ??

[sweet parcel]

there isn't

it's advised to uncap faves / sync pairs you enjoy using

[copper finch]

What's a good grid for a 3/5 silver

Champ

[sweet parcel]

[rare sky]

Oh right. I asked this before but no one answered so I'm asking again.

[sweet parcel]

After getting all Obstruct tiles, you are pretty much all set

[rare sky]

Sweet.

[cloud crane]

Would be better to check the pins for Piers grids too. You'd probably want to take the TM refresh tile since in content like CS you'd not want to use obstruct at all or at least until the centre is down

[trim plank]

I haven’t messed with the increased caps too much, are there any noteworthy callouts that yall have seen that benefit a bunch?

[sweet parcel]

There are too many pairs to list, so we often advise people to uncap faves / sync pairs you enjoy using

[short heron]

Understand it’s stupidly expensive to uncap

100k sync orbs for a full uncap

[timid marten]

I foolishly didn't bother too much collecting excess sync orbs because I didn't think I needed them with all my grids up to date, how much of a fool am I now

[gentle sun]

We were all played by DeNA, no worries

[sonic slate]

Me literally a month ago: “I’ll never go through over 100k orbs”
Me when seeing the costs: “I’ll never catch up on orbs”

https://tenor.com/view/egghead-wheeze-gif-21913561

[rare sky]

The cockiness you have... I envy it.

[final bloom]

Is SC adamans grid worth using candies to get him to 3/5

[timid marten]

If your goal is to nuke with him, he gets Haymaker and Wounded Sync-Up 9 at 3/5

If not he does solid DPS at 1/5, Nuke does have an inate via Passive but full Nuke gets unlocked then at 3/5

[small karma]

Hello, is there a roll cake tier list somewhere? I’m a returning player would be helpful to know what cake to invest into and what units should be priority

[sweet parcel]

There is, yes. You can check the list here: #1010259551225921626 message. Keep in mind that its missing March datamine units

[small karma]

Thanks!

[bronze dragon]

His sync doesn’t have an innate

It’s just an additive multiplier

It would add up with Wounded Sync-Up 9 and Haymaker

[timid marten]

Probably should have just said it's in his 1/5 kit

[fading gulch]

go viral with troublemaker would be enough

if you want the sing acc tile for extra assurance go for it

you can swap skills now

so its fine

[livid bridge]

It’s been awhile, can you give me the sync grid spreadsheet? Thanks.

[frank girder]

I have a 5☆ support move candy, is SS Blue or SS Morty more beneficial?

I know ss blue is fairly useful in most cases, but i can make a busted team with time with ss morty

My main team and the ss morty one in question im working on

(Hope this counts as channel appropriate)

[round bridge]

Blue gains more from the 2/5, whereas Morty mainly gets sun refresh

So I would say blue unless you want to 3/5 Morty in the future

[frank girder]

Plan to have them both maxed eventually, but just want to know the better current upgrade

[crystal bay]

Personally won't use any candies unless I can make them 3/5 immediately. If sun MPR isn't an issue, then focus on SSBlue.

[frank girder]

Would it be fair to say 3/5 blue then candy morty after?

[sweet parcel]

i would candy Morty to 2/5 first before candying Blue to 3/5

[frank girder]

Yeah that makes sense

Thanks

[round bridge]

SS Blue is one of the rare cases where the 2/5 tiles help more than the 3/5 tiles

[frank girder]

Well, happened to get a 5☆ tech candy too; is lucas 2/5, ss may 3/5, ss korrina 2/5, or (dont have yet but will be pulling for) ss renegade cynthia 2/5 the best choice.

(Apologies for how diverse the spread is here)

I plan to have all of these units (and their team partners) maxed out eventually. But in terms of who benefits the most im stuck on

(Other teams above)

[sinful smelt]

If you're just using Lucas to support SS Serena candies will do nothing

His 3/5 allows him to strike out on his own

Would suspect other techs the same wanting 3/5 not 2/5

[frank girder]

Well even if i only have one candy now, the suggestion i get is what ill candy to 3/5 when i get the next tech candy

So, technically whats best at 3/5 to rephrase my question

[sinful smelt]

Well I guess not Lucas as you have a 5/5 SS Serena. Maybe Korrina, Annilili has fallen off a bit and SSTR Cynthia can still provide zone.

SS May is good but not sure she is better than Hilda Victini

[frank girder]

Personally not too fessed with high level meta (at least yet)

As long as its decent its good for me

These teams will stay as they are unless a better unit comes along and i manage to get it

[sinful smelt]

Well they're all already decent ! That's the issue !

[frank girder]

Yeah but they can be more decent :>

I guess ill either use it on ss korrina/sstr cynthia, as im currently planning on building my ghost team up

Might just alternate candy or smth

[stark berry]

Only the biggest gigachads will do this

[bronze dragon]

Funny that they let you do it

[stark berry]

Doubt they will ever give them a grid

[potent quail]

@ruby trench

[ruby trench]

Thank you

[scenic grail]

Is there a consensus on a good 3/5 Dahlia grid?

[frank girder]

Is 3/5 ss korrina or 3/5 ssr cynthia better? Gonna candy one of them

[bronze dragon]

SSR Cynthia

[stark berry]

Depends, 1/5 SSR Cynthia kit is still functional, SS korinna one is pretty bad at 1/5, but Cynthia is a better unit overall I would say

I would say SS korinna 1/5 is only useful in champion stadium presync, where you don't need much mp to clear the stage

[livid bridge]

Before I’ll get the move candy and give it to special costume Irida, is there a sync nuke buff in the grid?

[stark berry]

Yes she has nuke at 3/5

She has blind spot at base, but her nuke isn't that great unless 3/5

[livid bridge]

Oh. Did someone updated her grid?

[fading gulch]

its better than 95% of strikers that dont even have an innate multiplier

[stark berry]

I mean with ex role her nuke is good even at 1/5 but at that point 3/5 Is much better

[stark berry]

Yes it is, but i wouldn't call those 95% strikers nukers

Her 1/5 nuke is fine, but at 3/5 rolex it becomes a really strong nuke

Plus at 1/5 she can't even max blind spot, and evasion buffs aren't that common

[bronze dragon]

It's stronger than most techs

[stark berry]

How does her b move work? You can activate it turn 2 if you queue 3 moves turn 1?

[fading gulch]

yeah i think so

[stark berry]

I don't know if I should summon her, I have 1/5 renegade Cynthia, I could candy and Rolex her but I really hate 80% crit nukes, on the other hand if I candy and Rolex Irida instead she has soften up in the grid, but o don't have her, maybe I should wait datamine to decide

[signal oyster]

Is this good?

[merry onyx]

Personally wouldnt take inflict and heal since you can only (realistically) use charm so many times

And it's only a slight heal
