Btw how's your Steel/Fairy roster?
#Jo's CSMM and Various Clears
wild nexus
west fog
I mean the only literal good news for me is that they said the gvg will be delayed a bit for bug fix
I rather they delay it
Because jesoooos it's a lot of effort hehe
west fog
Btw how's your Steel/Fairy roster?
Steel busted, Fairy nonexistent
wild nexus
Ex steel zone next month maybe?
west fog
I have all the meta Steel types, but ironically enough steel feels weak now, after reigning as STRONGEST type for a while
west fog
Ex steel zone next month maybe?
Probably
wild nexus
Because jesoooos it's a lot of effort hehe
It is, would be nice to get a break
west fog
I only have like SSGladion, the new Bede, SSWally for fairy, and my tower is stuck because all the physical hitters suck (no nemona)
I climbed to 24 with a BP unit lol
wild nexus
I'm stuck at 14 or 15 cause no Nemona either
west fog
I am running level 200 BP Valerie
I Probably can beat 24
If I level up the rest of the team
But
Too much work
For not much value
I'll be stuck in 27 for sure
So either get Nemona or maybe Palentine Adaman
wild nexus
Same reason I don't bother with tower, will clear it eventually nvm I think
west fog
520/540 is not bad, I am locked behind lacking units atm
wild nexus
That's great wdym?!
west fog
Like no special ground hitters 
west fog
That's great wdym?!
I mean like the situation, not the actual score 
That I am locked behind missing units
So I did my job basically
wild nexus
Right
west fog
I have some funny clears
Like floor 14? 15? The special one of Ground with Naomi
Yes
The f2p sandslash
That doesn't have EX
west fog
Dedication, hope, determination and pure I'll do it
wild nexus
Rika?
west fog
I think Rika probably, I didn't have her when I did that stage as well hehe
Let me see if i have a Screenshot
I was using this lmao
But then I pulled Rika
Actual clear
Miserable times
wild nexus
I have over a years worth of f2p pair resources, maybe it's time to look into the new pairs
Like I've cleared everything but never bother to build any non-gacha pairs mostly
west fog
The old f2p units are mostly meh, honestly
I do have some heavily built f2p units
But some are doomed due to Powercreep and just when they were released
Like team rocket
Absolutely worthless
They released so early in the game
They don't have any usage
Naomi is another exampe of a unit me that could've been better if only she had EX or some newer cool tools
wild nexus
Well they've butchered a few mf expansions, so I don't have high hope for f2p pairs 
If we ever get to that point
west fog
Well they've butchered a few mf expansions, so I don't have high hope for f2p pa...
Looking at Zerena with the worst 4/5 5/5 of the century
wild nexus
I had so much hope after Cerena
west fog
This is my fairy team for physical stages, altho I used Sycamore before this, but bede seems to have better survivability which is what I was betting on. But Valerie not enough damage and here we are.
So basically my fairy physical team? Was pure F2P
And it actually pushed me to reach 23
24
Idk why my numbers messed up
west fog
I had so much hope after Cerena
NC Serena is cooking though, she had one of the best expansions in my opinion
SS is the one who got screwed
They put all the good things in NC they forgot to budget for SS
west fog
Towers is lowkey toxic as it wants you to have several key units of each typing, and it's definitely difficult even with the right units, so definitely don't over-invest, it might hurt your other modes!
I kinda had the leisure to boost some units that didn't deserve to be pushed 
west fog
Right most free units will probably need lvl 180+
Certificates of excellence are so in demand with this stupid 150 to 180 expansion they did 😩
I am constantly
Running out
Squeezing every lodge medal, every rally everything i can do
For a lil bit more
I even get 40+ per week from tower and it's not enoughhhhh
wild nexus
I have 1k+ but no xp books 
west fog
Who designed this 150-180 Certificate of Excellence concept
Actually 140-180
150 if you maxed all ur units before the new cap lol
wild nexus
Yup gets expensive
west fog
I have 1k+ but no xp books <:RileyHaha:612408184669470730>
So you can unlock caps but not level up? 
wild nexus
I'm only upgrading favs or meta units for now
west fog
I'm only upgrading favs or meta units for now
Well same until i decided to try to push the tower with silly units
wild nexus
So you can unlock caps but not level up? <:MalvaReckless:1000849743657832598>
Yup, got less than 1k green xp books 
west fog
Yup, got less than 1k green xp books <:WallaceThisIsFine:1191404991529881630>
I don't recall the last time i ran out of level up books, it happened before, long ago. But now I think it's one of the things I don't even look at anymore because I have basically infinite at this point
wild nexus
How?! I'm doing all events, even farmed them during the 2x thing
OK not all maybe, but 90%
west fog
The real mystery for me is how people used to run out of champion spirits but not 
I NEVER ran out of champions spirits and I been on and off skipping weeks of csmm now, i have a disgusting number of EX units, and I am really nowhere close to running out of spirits.
But still scarce even when i have an abundance of them
wild nexus
Yeah I feel like I can't run out of spirits
Cause there aren't enough power ups for 20/20 anyway
west fog
How?! I'm doing all events, even farmed them during the 2x thing
Honestly I don't know, I just have way too much
I know i hit a few codex/level cap drinks training during the x2 to restock those, those occasionally run out
west fog
Cause there aren't enough power ups for 20/20 anyway <:SophoKEK:6819165498120602...
EXACTLY. How do people tell me they have lots of but no Champion Spirits! Hooooooow
What are they doing that I am not doing 
west fog
Maybe not enough 15k CS runs idk?
I don't know, like i said, recently I been slacking on CSMM and still have so much champion spirits, i cannot imagine how much you need to skip to run out.
69k of the highest book
wild nexus
Hey btw I started doing the generic 3k clears and its not such a pain anymore. Same param for each team, just swap based on type.
wild nexus
69k of the highest book <:SophoKEK:681916549812060200>
What
west fog
Yeah I don't even swap out anything, I just press Optimize
west fog
Sometimes ill need to change a unit or two only because it puts SSHilda in my psychic team because she knows confusion 
west fog
If only trading in the game was a thing
wild nexus
They gotta come up with some sort of barter system
west fog
Genuinely don't know what I was doing that was getting me that much books but here we are
wild nexus
You started year 1 right?
wild nexus
So you've farmed the infinite stages
west fog
Between November and February of the first year
wild nexus
My original account was in a sorry state when I came back so I started this one
wild nexus
Right
west fog
Which makes me question again, what did I do to get all dat
Ik I probably farmed something, because you don't get this much by just playing
wild nexus
If you figure it out, please tell me 
west fog
I shall, if my memory serves me, tell you what you need to do
west fog
If you figure it out, please tell me <:HildaCry:596507965947641866>
Also did you abuse last month's stamina surge or not??
wild nexus
I'm just gonna full send lodge stones if I run out during lg streak
west fog
Because we were getting additional 600 stamina per day
wild nexus
Yeah I did, every day
wild nexus
Tbh I had massive burnout before gvg
west fog
Understandable, game was getting a bit stale
wild nexus
No content in the game really warranted chasing or even caring about meta
west fog
Honestly I am getting punished for all my good luck in previous years
west fog
Not getting units and losing out on near-pities and my mix banner is just horrible
west fog
CS was (is) dead in a ditch
Yeah CS has grown very stale, i been skipping it more than I did it.
So in 1 month i'd it once and skip it the rest of the weeks.
Ofc when galar came i did that, but they even did it so you get your medals in the same week lol. So that didn't live long.
wild nexus
I soloed 1 week, didn't bother again
Give me a reason to use these OP units
Increase the points, add more params
Make supports lowkey necessary
west fog
The level cap kinda made everything on easy mode that you don't need to even try for CS anymore
We definitely need more points params and REWARDS
Add some certificate of Excellences there
And watch people reswarm the mode
Or maybe the blue one that gets you to level 200
5 a week sounds nice
For a mode that's nearly dead
wild nexus
Right now you can close your eyes press any of the 4 moves in any order on a pair like 96 and clear 90% of the stages
And we used to rave about Arc Steven being broken
west fog
We don't talk red96, he kinda clears everything
I am re-living SSRed Year 1-2
Dude was killing everystage they started making stages with triple fire guards to counter him lmao
west fog
And we used to rave about Arc Steven being broken
How the great has fallen, not even top 3 supports rn
I still love Steven though so, I still use him when applicable
wild nexus
Ofc same, but I don't think he'll make the cut in steel gvg dmg run
Delegated to setup
west fog
He definitely wont, maybe as a cheerer.
Yup
Because you will probably have NCElio/SSLear, Red/Gloria, and EX Zone as actual clear
I don't know who's better between Lear and Elio in Damage wise, but I think Lear probably edges in how he can rush sync and have P/SMUN better ig
wild nexus
Hopefully the ex zone is exmf not arc
west fog
Hopefully they stop throwing arcs at us for 3 months because goddamn these past 3 months were not nice to me
I need to save up
wild nexus
I don't know who's better between Lear and Elio in Damage wise, but I think Lear...
They'll make them both useful with params, but yeah Lear can also boost others damage
If we assume gvg in May, gives some to save atleast
west fog
They'll make them both useful with params, but yeah Lear can also boost others d...
I think so too, but ngl I want to see something similar to what they did to counter SSRed in the past. So Red96 isn't the absolute meta anymore.
This statement both benefits and hurts me. Benefits me because I'll use more of my cool units, hurts me because I have Red96 and probably will lose on some score for not using him lol
west fog
If we assume gvg in May, gives some to save atleast
MAY?!
do you wish to inflict pain on me, trout?
wild nexus
June, I meant June
west fog
July would be great
west fog
I need to find a way to work with dena, for only 3 months
We will have Arc Suit Infernape but also I'll enhance everyone's experience
wild nexus
Who would the trainer be?
west fog
Who would the trainer be?
I am fine with Lucas, but he'd need a good hairdo for it. Because Lucas' hair annoys me
Ofc I would love some unrelated trainer to have it, like N, Red, Volkner (these 3 some of my favorites) but it makes no sense
wild nexus
I hope your wish comes true
west fog
I actual wish is Mega Infenrape
wild nexus
Wait
west fog
Make it happen, Pokemon Company
wild nexus
I hadn't seen mega infernape
west fog
Bro had 2 Generations of Peak competitive scene
Then got buried by Mega Blaziken and all the newer mix attackers that came in following gens
My heart breaks
west fog
Cool Academy Super Sparring
My first Rosa is so Ass
It's sad
But Proud of my other 2
Although Arven is not final product as I plan to continue after LG to enhance him
west fog
I did hit 120
Also look at my Team Rocket recruitment phase
west fog
Pasio towers to increase to 40 floors
I am still at 530
west fog
I had both the Paldean Parameters, but it didn't really matter.
wild nexus
Did the same electric team on r1 just to test... makes absolutely no difference. 7k also a joke smh.
west fog
Did the same electric team on r1 just to test... makes absolutely no difference....
If anything the stages became easier, because I finally can use WTZ lol.
wild nexus
I was soo excited for this
west fog
After I seen how a 7k with most pts coming from non-paldean. I hope they introduce more Rewards to our normal CSMM, and give us something like 10k per stage with meaner reduction. Would make this more fun and more rewarding. Stack the non-regional to make it into 10k and brute force every stage
Like there were a few Certificates of excellence in there which we all need
Sync orbs, maybe a bit more tickets for EX
Keep the spirits the same amount we don't need more of that
wild nexus
Yeah, don't even want crazy rewards. Just give the mode some life. Pairs outgrew it years ago atp.
