Gakon's Academy Sonia Waiting Room

[golden haven]

How should a new player prep for LG? I wanna get atleast a 10 win streak. Ik there will be f2p accessible clears here. But I wanna try on my own first.

[elfin scaffold]

Tbh a 10 win streak doesn’t need much prep, depending on your units

[golden haven]

I'm very new like less than 45 days

Only limited pairs are Cerena NC Rosa SST Red

[whole flame]

so that's already 3 free wins!

there will always be f2p and f2p friendly LG guides. You can look for old ones on youtube, since this LG is a repeat of LG5

try checking #1012311116778586182 pins for f2p friendly team ideas too

got it got it

[modest narwhal]

Cerena + NC Rosa + SST Red sounds like the perfect Latios team to me

[whole flame]

smh if you keep this up you can never get into helper lounge

[golden haven]

Thank Nov

[whole flame]

unless you apply for mod

[golden haven]

The basic idea is to have teams that can play around the bosses gimmicks right?

[whole flame]

yes, always

Latios is pretty free, Cobalion might be your bottleneck, Azelf's gimmick is simple but it hits very hard bar 1

[vocal flax]

[vocal flax]

just got 3200 pts on my first run, overall a VERY fun gamemode

i need to be smart with item purchasing in next runs, to get more pts

[cyan pilot]

Do you get unlimited attempts?

[cyan pilot]

In Helper Lounge Cool Kid Club is there even someone (other than Arch) who doesn't like LG

[honest spire]

uhh

Armlo

Richu too I think

[vocal flax]

Nah only Arch

[vocal flax]

For now you can only get 5 attempts at most

[modest narwhal]

Winston iirc

[fluid pecan]

[vocal flax]

Literally 8/10 stages asking for Sprint

@honest spire your worst nightmare

[elfin scaffold]

[honest spire]

Jeez

And I have more sprints than most people, that's nightmare fuel

[vocal flax]

i dont even have a real sprint

only caked ones

[elfin scaffold]

I don’t even have a caked sprint

[vocal flax]

you should panic now

[elfin scaffold]

[modest narwhal]

At least that's consistent, I keep having to switch my entire team 😭

[elfin scaffold]

I got lucky and was able to reveal all the roles after the first battle

[vocal flax]

scored 7,300 pts this time

and started new run... let's see

Johto theme

[golden haven]

Is there a limit to how many sync pairs you can use?

[vocal flax]

there is none

you can use many pairs as you want

[elfin scaffold]

Chez you have like 250+ units, you can afford to switch it up

[modest narwhal]

That doesn't mean they're all invested!

[fervent mortar]

wtf

on my first run roles were cycling
for example let's say 1st round was strike/tech, then 2nd round is tech/somthing, and 3rd is something/somethingelse etc until it cycled back to 1st round

[vocal flax]

did you get some bs combos?

[fervent mortar]

sprint field

twice

[vocal flax]

[cinder solstice]

Sprint/Field twice and Sup/Field

[elfin scaffold]

Eh sup/field ain’t that bad

[vocal flax]

until you realize that you only have one Field

[cinder solstice]

Yes

[elfin scaffold]

Sounds like field cake is on the menu

[cinder solstice]

Look at Thoron, he almost die

And ofc i can win next battle with Pot Sup

Then hello

2nd Field/Sprint combo

[vocal flax]

[cinder solstice]

But hey, i still get my 9k

Without Lucky Stage

[vocal flax]

Lucky Stage? what is that?

i have never got one

[cinder solstice]

This one

[vocal flax]

(ik, it was just a complaint to my luck )

[cinder solstice]

Luck issues

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

I have 4 runs to do after work

[fluid pecan]

Other people weren’t doing that?

Don’t tell me I was the only one using tank norman

[modest narwhal]

I was using tank Lisia, but that was about as bad as it got for me on my first run

[stuck hatch]

Striker dawn

Cheesed 3 cs stages with SS Cyrus in a row

[elfin scaffold]

I switched my team each round

[honest spire]

I pre much switch every round too, unless I have a sprint/field and the next also has one of sprint or field

[modest narwhal]

I held on to mine as long as I could, though that was rarely for more than two rounds

[honest spire]

Really? Your roster should have several options for wiggle room, no?

[modest narwhal]

It does, but I didn't know what was coming on the first run, so I figured I would hold on to whatever I could just in case. I would've been stuck without NC Leaf for Thorton if I had decided to switch every time

[honest spire]

Ah, I see

Fair fair

I always save the big ones for the UBs too just in case, it's really sad when the role/theme combo makes it so you can't use them

[modest narwhal]

I was devastated when I learned I couldn't use SS Morty for Thorton had to rely on red health NC Leaf and L Irida's flinches

[honest spire]

I haven't been able to use NC Blue in a single stage yet. Always save for last but get a weird combo

[modest narwhal]

one day

[vocal flax]

In my previous run i used NC Rosa as tank in every fight totally not because of Psychic boost and 8 Sprint stages

[stuck hatch]

Me too

But I got 3 cs rounds in a row that were
Tech
sprint/field (I have one unit of each lol)
Tech

So SS Cyrus went brrr

[round kite]

At least you're lucky

I've been dragging deadweight shallow roster types

Like my dark types and dragon types

[vocal flax]

My condolences

[desert ledge]

funny enough Dragon and Dark are two of my best types (I wonder why lol )

out of the 5 Rallies I did the only deadweight boosted theme for me was Trial Captain on the first one

[vocal flax]

Yeah Trial Giver is one of the worst themes, especially with not so good Alola roster

Still, better than Bug type

[vocal flax]

My current record. I only bought upgrades twice and a couple of scopes, as well as apple cup

[fluid pecan]

Which UB was this?

[round kite]

Apple cup is overpriced

For like 200 points you can stack up 400% damage from crit damage boosts/whatever other stats

[elfin scaffold]

but its fun!

and i got no time to think about min maxing in my current state

[vocal flax]

I was rushing at the end so i didnt bother checking the shop after each fight so apple cup goes brr

[cinder solstice]

Rushing event in one day is so stressful

[cyan pilot]

I did hard as long as I could

when Swift did 1K damage on SS Steven I just dropped to medium lmao

[cinder solstice]

Did you buy any upgrade ?

[elfin scaffold]

yeah i need to charge my ipad right now so i'm taking a break...i still have to do it twice lol

[cinder solstice]

Or play around theme upgrade you got ?

[cyan pilot]

you see, I really want those support cakes so I'm stubborn

I didn't buy a thing

I was tempted to buy Apple Cup but I wanted to keep my points

[vocal flax]

You should buy them at least once or twice

[cinder solstice]

You buy some upgrade to get more point and less stressful

[cyan pilot]

I got... 2K; I don't hardcore this game so a like a rate of 10+ support cakes a month is fine for me

[cinder solstice]

After my 1st run didn’t buy any upgrade

I tried buy upgrade stuff and it way better

[vocal flax]

Did you even buy scopes?

[cinder solstice]

Yes, but only when i meet FIELD/SPRINT combo

[elfin scaffold]

yeah

the game loves to give me the field/sprint combo

[cyan pilot]

I really haven't decided who to feed my cakes yet

was really hoping for that infinite electric terrain but alas

[vocal flax]

Would be cool for my SST Red runs

[vocal flax]

oof i forgot to reply to this im sorry
it was Argenta

[vocal flax]

I have my 100 streaks planned here (except some Latios duos at the end): Gakon's Painful LG Plan

Due to time limitations, I can't attempt this LG seriously despite being the perfect rotation to get to 200 teams

[modest narwhal]

Damn now I kinda wanna make a doc

Are the first 100 relatively easy for you?

Not for LG, Arch! For general use!

[honest spire]

Oh

<- redacted

[modest narwhal]

I'd have an "LG" section that just shows the 10 most broken teams I can make

[elfin scaffold]

I don’t need a doc for LG

Chez, you just do solos anyways lol

[modest narwhal]

I did last time, but I don't think I will this time

[elfin scaffold]

Ok, Gakon solo only run. Go!

[modest narwhal]

[whole flame]

I'll be revisiting this to steal things don't mind me

[vocal flax]

Thats its purpose so feel free to steal anything there

[vocal flax]

I only have bare hands so idt i can solo anything

[modest narwhal]

We'll give you a flamethrower to deal with Coba

[vocal flax]

90% of them have easy to mid difficulty

[honest spire]

"Easy difficulty" is likely a 13 minute solo that only requires 4 specific flinches and 7 MPRs

[modest narwhal]

I see you're jaded from your brief foray into LG land too

[vocal flax]

Its easy as long as these things happen

[honest spire]

That is not what easy means bestie

[vocal flax]

Fine, mid difficulty then

[honest spire]

Nothing can be done of you lot

[modest narwhal]

Easy just means something different for an LG fanatic

[vocal flax]

At least i dont go insane this LG

[modest narwhal]

You would if you had the time

[honest spire]

When I see "easy" I expect 3/5 SS Lyra on Bulu, or 5/5 EXR NC Serena on Entei. No MPRs, no flinching, no lucky skill changing or resetting. Anything harder than that and it's no longer easy

[modest narwhal]

I even go so far as to say that quick ones with a little bit of timing involved are reasonably easy, like 3/5 Football Gloria vs Registeel which I still need to do in LA

[honest spire]

Hm yea I can accept that, wouldn't do them myself but that's not too farfetch'd

[elfin scaffold]

could even put sirfetch'd somewhere for a clear

[vocal flax]

Bestie we call that beginner friendly

[modest narwhal]

Sirfetch'd + Lucario + G Zapdos so true

[elfin scaffold]

I'm loving that people are calling her Football Gloria now

[modest narwhal]

It's better than the alternative

[vocal flax]

*Glora is the true name. Even DeNA acknowledged that

[honest spire]

No you don't, some of the ones y'all deem "beginner" still involve some of those things

[vocal flax]

[honest spire]

[whole flame]

we call that braindead

[modest narwhal]

Braindead or bust

[honest spire]

Y'know what else is braindead? SS Acerola, Adaman and SS Lyra on Bulu

[modest narwhal]

Now that's my kinda clear Or at least it would be if I had Adaman

[whole flame]

[honest spire]

Same

[whole flame]

no adaman? no worries those two can still take on Bulu individually

[honest spire]

No worries indeed, we'll just throw in MixRed or SS Erika instead

[vocal flax]

[static mural]

I'll gladly steal from here. Haven't planned much and I'd like to get to 100 again

[fervent mortar]

How bad is SS Elesa + Hau on coba and do you think it's possible without both ex

[vocal flax]

SS Elesa has to dodge more moves and proc more Ridicure

I tried the duo before and it was miserable when Elesa couldnt dodge enough moves till bar 3

I believe EX Elesa will help a lot

[whole flame]

I hate how shit both of their paralysis chances are

[fervent mortar]

thats why you use them together lol

[vocal flax]

even then the chance still drives you insane sometimes

[vocal flax]

Last update on my planning doc (hopefully): fully updated info of all teams

[fervent mortar]

thanks for your doc i stole a lot of teams

i am now... missing even more latios teams than before

[vocal flax]

Do more solo then

[whole flame]

I gave up planning after 8 or so Latios solos

My azelf and cobalion columns are full

[elfin scaffold]

What does full mean tho

[modest narwhal]

10 solos

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

10 solos total

[vocal flax]

tbf the other two are annoying to solo

[elfin scaffold]

3s only

[iron olive]

Gak will you be posting this time as you go?

[vocal flax]

i already plan my 100 streaks in my pinned doc

they are mostly solo and known duos

[vocal flax]

First 3 clears

[latent quiver]

is that Aaron solo bad? very tempting....

[vocal flax]

its not too good tbh

you need at least 2 TM MPR, and keep Heal Order until bar 3

also, a lot of insta queue during bar 1

[latent quiver]

i see....

[whole flame]

Fast track on aaron? I really wanna keep vigi

[vocal flax]

then you dont have gauge

[whole flame]

ugh...

[modest narwhal]

Just put in NC Blue to max speed and SC Ingo or H Viola for zone

[whole flame]

thanks for the tips

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

Azelf stops burning mid battle: impossible

[whole flame]

Azelf surely has HE10 and Aggra 10 with how many times it confuses me

[vocal flax]

Fuck Cobalion. Calem, me and my homies hate Cobalion

[static mural]

🤝

At this point I'ma just solo Latios with him

[vocal flax]

Azelf is also annoying yeah let him bully the jet plane

[cinder solstice]

Will you try Gardenia soloes again Gakon ?

[vocal flax]

i have better Grass gears now, so it should be doable, r-right?

[cinder solstice]

[elfin scaffold]

Why are you doing this to yourself Gakon..solos????

[vocal flax]

you dont understand... its for a better and beautiful world

[elfin scaffold]

The last time I heard something similar, it was from Lysandre

[honest spire]

Lysandre was actually closer to the truth in the case

[vocal flax]

both him and I are right :cale

[elfin scaffold]

Gakon Villain Arc

[vocal flax]

i will force every LG haters into LG maniac

[vocal flax]

I swear Azelf and Cobalion have hidden HE10

[whole flame]

LDawn on Latios huh. If i can't make her duo Azelf with something then I'll solo Lati with her

[charred trench]

The fact you used only one pair for the battles is honestly outstanding to me.

[vocal flax]

And someone is going to repeat it 100 times

[vocal flax]

Its a 12 mins solo btw, with nearly no threat

Its just her damage being bad

[vocal flax]

me wasting 100 feathers on a SST Red's gear piece looking for WTZ DR
Iono's feather gives 4% DR

[cinder solstice]

[elfin scaffold]

[fluid pecan]

[charred trench]

[vocal flax]

"Gakon, you have 2 LG solo gods at 1/5, why dont you candy them?"
"Bestie, why do I have to candy them when they already wreck havoc at 1/5? "

[latent quiver]

looking good Gakon!

[vocal flax]

ty i see you are doing good as well

[fluid pecan]

Who’s the other?
Elaine? NC Blue? Some other Kanto character because fairness?

[cinder solstice]

Elaine 1/5 not that good at solo

[vocal flax]

NC Blue is at 3/5 btw i just recently candied him

Maybe Ball Guy if you count him as LG god

[lucid plover]

-stares at the stamina bar-

[vocal flax]

i already did daily missions

[lucid plover]

Peteeeeyyyy

[vocal flax]

already lvl 135 () and 5*

[fluid pecan]

Just do skill feather area once

There are no stamina events tmrw so literally 0 point saving

[honest spire]

Imagine not dumping all your spare stamina into feathers

[vocal flax]

i just dont have the mood for it

[modest narwhal]

Imagine not wanting to buy everything in the event shops and then forgetting so you're scrambling to catch up while the events are going on

[fluid pecan]

I do that when there’s no VA, I want to be prepared if I ever become an enthusiast

[honest spire]

You're on the path to based-ness

[vocal flax]

I dump my stamina on feathers too, except yesterday because i was low on support drinks

[fluid pecan]

I have attachment issues so I’m always worried when rerolling a half decent feather that it would have been useful down the line

[honest spire]

Take it from me, it wouldn't have been. I reroll my pieces immediately if it's not at the minimum 80 offense + desirable skill

[fluid pecan]

That seems excessive
(I’ll stop cuz i don’t want mods to nuke gakon’s channel )

[elfin scaffold]

Candy those two units Gakon

[modest narwhal]

Nah he needs to save his candies for Psychic HS

[cinder solstice]

Gakon try hard HS ?

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

I’ll allow it

[stuck hatch]

ex is already too much for ss lyra ||if you're a bit crazy|| ||like me||

[whole flame]

Yeah i've done it before

I'm just looking at her being an azelf tank atm

[vocal flax]

its not that bad just time consuming

[fluid pecan]

Azelf tank seems really good tho

[whole flame]

I know for a fact that is Not the description for LDawn vs Latios

LDawn vs latios is easy

[cyan pilot]

I stole this from one of Anni Raihan's solos

also I think I'm gonna start using this as a meme to throw around

[vocal flax]

Leaf solo on Azelf really slowed down my progress

[cinder solstice]

Gardenia solo when ?

[vocal flax]

now

[cinder solstice]

[vocal flax]

wish me luck

🙏

[cinder solstice]

[fervent mortar]

It's easy

Unless you dont crit or get flinched

[whole flame]

Holy fuck i didn't realize nc red could solo azelf

Testimony pls

[fervent mortar]

At 2/5 too

But it's not fun, it's one of these carpal tunnel solos

I threw supp kakuna and called it a day

[whole flame]

I was planning NC Red on Coba for now

[vocal flax]

i got rafa'd twice on bar 2

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT I DIT IT

i no longer have skill issue

[fervent mortar]

Gardenia ?

It's easy smh

[vocal flax]

last time she couldnt have enough power to kill salamence

now with better skill gears she finally takes revenge

[vocal flax]

Not too bad for me

[fluid pecan]

Time to annoy arch :BetterIris:

Shut up Clyde 🐺

[vocal flax]

Arch needs to get better taste

[fluid pecan]

(For context, back in battle villa meta, furbert was notorious for directly outclassing Iris as a carry on unit [+1 attack after a faint, very good before sycamore and cyrus destroyed villa] who also buffed +1 crit after syncing

Because of this, they made a Fall Hilbert Emote named “BetterIris”)

Gakon you were also around for 2020 meta?

[vocal flax]

yes but i didnt have Furbert at the time

||i got Furbert from a daily after getting shafted by Gilbert||

[modest narwhal]

Still not better than Iris

[honest spire]

[fluid pecan]

So uh what pairs did you use for this stage clear in the newly released lategame gamemode Battle Rally Gakon

[vocal flax]

i do CS first

[vocal flax]

Total spent:

• 1 Dark upgrade saled off
• 3 Water upgrades
• a Jelly

(the Arena 10 was Darach VH)

[vocal flax]

Damn it Cobalion you ruined the perfect 1st page

[cinder solstice]

How is Melody's sing simulator feel ?

[vocal flax]

satisfying

gauge was stretchy sometime but its managable

[charred trench]

Teach me your ways.

[vocal flax]

be insane

[static mural]

[elfin scaffold]

How much sanity do you have left

[vocal flax]

im not sure but definitely more than nov's and mael's

[elfin scaffold]

Meanwhile, arch, chez and I are chilling

[vocal flax]

do your part

[honest spire]

🤝

[honest spire]

There was something there to begin with?

[vocal flax]

smh arch nov has reached 22 streaks and mael with 41 streaks

im not insane as them!!!!

[honest spire]

You ain't convincing me, try someone else

[vocal flax]

[fervent mortar]

If you check my clears they all actually are pretty simple

Hardest's probably Ramos Clay on Azelf and it isnt even that bad

[next gyro]

I like the, a jelly

[fervent mortar]

Stealing that Calem team

I'll probably have to move some units from Cobalion at this rate

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

[charred trench]

I see...

[iron olive]

Those nc calem solo resets were awful because it happens in the 3rd bar. not doing that again for sure.

[vocal flax]

nov did with Vigilance to get rid of crit problem

[iron olive]

Gauge would have been lame ig

[elfin scaffold]

You can theorycraft till the servers are back

[whole flame]

smh you didn't do melony sing simulator on Tapu Bulu last time but you did it on Azelf?
Testimony pls

[whole flame]

I cycled between brutal swing and water shuriken regularly anyway

once you get lucky with dodges you don't need to heal as much

[vocal flax]

listen Bulu is more annoying

[modest narwhal]

skill issue or smth

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

Chez would know

[modest narwhal]

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

go do LG both of you

[modest narwhal]

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

Sorry I'm too busy not doing LG (fr tho I'm at work)

[vocal flax]

i can feel that

[whole flame]

watched the Melony solo video... why does Azelf wake up seemingly at the most inconvenient timings

[vocal flax]

basically click Sing non stop

[lucid plover]

How do you attack

[modest narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/you-don't-invincible-omni-man-jk-simmons-that's-the-neat-thing-gif-4390372980992221432

Melony nuke

[lucid plover]

When do you use Max Move???

[whole flame]

hMMMMM do I want to

i might just throw a duo, idk

[vocal flax]

duo is easier yeah

[vocal flax]

on bar 3 entry to nuke

[whole flame]

azelf has lessen sleep 8 or 9?

tapu bulu was a pain to sleepchain

[vocal flax]

Lessen Sleep 8 iirc

[stuck hatch]

Wasn't it that only Entei had 9

[cinder solstice]

Just miss 1 Sing and you will eat Wood Hammer

[vocal flax]

you dont use max guard before entering bar 3?

[cinder solstice]

No, bc i will not miss sing ofc

[vocal flax]

skill issue then

[modest narwhal]

using Max Guard

[vocal flax]

[charred trench]

I never use Max Guard.

Seems like a waste to me at times.

[vocal flax]

Max Guard is pretty much situational, you only use it when you are certain that there is a dangerous attack coming up

[cinder solstice]

When solo Bulu i used Troublemaker instead of Stotic

And half bar 3 was the most stressful bar

+1 Evasion

[vocal flax]

you chose to torture yourself

[cinder solstice]

Imagine miss 1 Sing and you will eat +6 Atk Wood Hammer with +0 Def buff

[vocal flax]

https://tenor.com/view/operation-teapot-nuke-nuclear-explosion-nuclear-test-nuclear-footage-gif-15618232923822161090

[cinder solstice]

But her solo will always be better than Elio

[vocal flax]

so true

[cinder solstice]

[vocal flax]

Grass weakness smh

[cinder solstice]

No way to buff Accurate so stuck with Troublemaker, no reliable healing, only huff SpD, 3 bar move to debuff and buff crit

Even with Troublemaker he still only has 90% Sing

Melody just grab Sing + Acc tide and Tm +Acc tile and that already 90% for her sing

[whole flame]

I don't like attempting a sleeper solo

people who do Lodge N solos, I salute you

can't be me

it's too stressful for me to sleepchain in a duo already

[cinder solstice]

Melody is the easiest

Bc you can fail sing a few times

[modest narwhal]

Me when my voice is sore

[vocal flax]

Fucking Azelf always makes Potion solo a pain to get through

[whole flame]

No way, a 1/5 Olympia

I still haven't managed the solo

[vocal flax]

it was really close

1/5 non EX is very annoying to do so i ex'd her

[cinder solstice]

Finally i can climb

[vocal flax]

[elfin scaffold]

[charred trench]

[static mural]

[whole flame]

...oof

[vocal flax]

Its manageable but you have to rush to deny the sure hit sure crit EQ

[whole flame]

[charred trench]

Vigilance

Doesn't that negate all critical hits?

[vocal flax]

Critical Strike 2 is preferred to rush, and EQ still hits decently hard

SS Red is so good ontype that Calem didnt need more than 2 uses of his TM!

[whole flame]

in hindsight, I should've done that over Whitney + SS Red

[cyan pilot]

hello lg thread

should i start on friday or get my 10 streak over with

[modest narwhal]

Wait for Friday (the 23rd)

[cyan pilot]

ooh procrastination

i still might become an lg enthusiast

why should I do 100 streaks?

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

yes do it

[whole flame]

we have cookies!

[modest narwhal]

You shouldn't do 100! You should save your energy for more fun stuff

[vocal flax]

a lot of deluxes and

[vocal flax]

dont listen to the devil ^ LG is fun!!!!

[cyan pilot]

i keep forgetting

for every unit i skip and save that's one less LG tick

[modest narwhal]

Saving is good

[cyan pilot]

do you have beyond fortune cookies

[modest narwhal]

They only have those cookies that let you reroll about 50 times trying to get Head Start only to replace it a month later with Fast Track 2

Better to just hang onto your cookies

[stuck hatch]

what's head start

[cyan pilot]

ah so the LG peddlers sell me powercrept cookies

[stuck hatch]

never heard of those words

[vocal flax]

bestie lucky skill presets are coming

[modest narwhal]

Shhh

They're lying

[cyan pilot]

or i could stick to beating up CS as hard as I can

[vocal flax]

[modest narwhal]

This is the way to go

[cyan pilot]

oh schisse we have Hoenn

fugging hell

[vocal flax]

tbh its up to your preference climbing LG might cost much much more time

[charred trench]

[modest narwhal]

You can use your maximum power in CS! You can't do that if you become an LG maniac

[cyan pilot]

normally i do my 10 streak on Friday after school

[whole flame]

pulling a lot of units helps you reach high streaks easier, but you don't need to be a whale to reach 100 streaks in an LG as easy as this one

[cyan pilot]

which might be gone... if my job app gets accepted

[whole flame]

just solo and duo 😎

[whole flame]

need those weathered warrior lucky skills to beat up CS harder and there's no other way to get them than !

[cyan pilot]

i have fourty of them

i think I got WW3 for irida off of a bronze

[whole flame]

that's why we streak LG

reaching 50 shouldn't be hard enough in this rotation

[modest narwhal]

Nov how many do you have because you don't like to use them?

[whole flame]

uh

800

[modest narwhal]

You can get plenty by just going to 10 and repeating

[cyan pilot]

goodbye san-ity, though I never... knew you at all...

[whole flame]

eh the drop rates suck

[cyan pilot]

real

[whole flame]

even at high streaks I don't always get 3*

[cyan pilot]

I've been playing FIFA and that has taken a good chunk of my gacha time

[whole flame]

outside of the guaranteed ones at every new win ofc

[cyan pilot]

it's so bad for my dopamine addiction

but i'm a football fan so

hey; it keeps me from pulling in poma

[modest narwhal]

I've been playing Genshin and WoW a lot recently so 🤝

[vocal flax]

ahem

[modest narwhal]

Do you have a clear to post Gakon?

Actually, this is related: How was Katherine in that duo?

[cyan pilot]

I refuse to use Katherine

I find her very annoying

[vocal flax]

Katherine is one of the best sleep enablers

[cyan pilot]

but how is her nuke

[vocal flax]

good nuke + evasion drops for Sing users + self sufficient + Fast-Track 9 help with gauge and enabling sleep chain

[cyan pilot]

ooh

too bad the event made me dislike her; because her kit looks amazing

same with Korrina; I cannot stand her voice for the life of me

[vocal flax]

😭

Tai is coming for you

[whole flame]

Is melony + katherine overkill (the answer is always yes)

[vocal flax]

have you used Elio?

[cyan pilot]

what is the worst solo you've actually completed

[vocal flax]

uhhh

[whole flame]

i have yeah

my last two azelf clears are heavy flinchlocks, I need a break

and my evasion clears on latios aren't helping me either

[vocal flax]

on this LG? its pretty much SSA Cynthia solo on Azelf

[cyan pilot]

in general

[vocal flax]

i dont remember clearly about past solos

[whole flame]

agreed. though CCalem on Azelf is also a strong contender

[cyan pilot]

ok SSA on Azelf looks like hell

[vocal flax]

Melony + a cheap dmg dealer should do it

[whole flame]

then again I've only done like, 16 solos this time around

[whole flame]

is katherine not considered cheap?

ig she doesn't need a good tank like melony

just any sleep eggmon

[vocal flax]

yeah she doesnt need much help

[whole flame]

I can answer this one. Non-EX Shauna on Bulu

tanking the special moves on half bar 1 was painful

Gakon what are your plans with Will and Clemont

Your new doc format confuses me using icons means I can't control F

[vocal flax]

Will on Latios solo and Clemont on Cobalion duo

i only do 100 streaks so they seem wasteful, especially Will is a good flincher on Azelf

[whole flame]

yeah that's what I was thinking. Will on Latios is easy but I might need him on Azelf

I don't want to tank that pixie if I can help it

[cinder solstice]

His Impervious and flinch is so good to be waste on Clowntios

[whole flame]

i tried to duo with an eggmon but it's still hard

I want to get some of his nuke tiles but still keep aggravation

(can't do it)

[modest narwhal]

Do you need Fortuitous?

[whole flame]

in case I don't flinch, I might need the defensive buffs (and preferably evasion), no?

and I won't say no to random sp atk buffs

[modest narwhal]

You can go for SHY 5

[stuck hatch]

prob nc marnie registeel

[whole flame]

ehhhhh

[modest narwhal]

[vocal flax]

if i used him on Azelf, i would use him with Brendan

his role is pure flinch bot

i dont like the idea of making him the nuker, the damage is low

[vocal flax]

me not trying hard this LG:

not a problem to me

[whole flame]

Gakon I think you did Hilda with VAgatha?

I'm trying to replicate it with Lucy but with little to no luck

best I got was nuking bar 2 but then I suffer bar 3

(damage control sucks too)

[vocal flax]

does your Hilda have Potion grid?

Lucy doesnt have much bulk like VAgatha

[whole flame]

yep

[whole flame]

yeah that makes sense, I was hoping her TM could help

[vocal flax]

Sacred Sword ignoring defense debuffs suck

[whole flame]

it's so hard to use poison pairs... even when I know Hilda can nuke half bars, I can't get to sync in time before Cobalion syncs on bar 2 for sync cure

[vocal flax]

maybe Fighting Guard helps? but you have to be lucky with Stone Edge not critting

[whole flame]

yeah my Lucy already has vigilance and it's already pretty tough on her

I still have to heal her after every stone edge that hits

[vocal flax]

you have to insta queue on entry

[whole flame]

I did! nuked past half bar 1 and queued immediately

but usually i'm 1 turn off

[vocal flax]

strange

how about fishing for Lucy's TM MPR and use at least once?

[whole flame]

I think the strat is to wait for cobalion to use a heavy gauge move like stone edge before nuking bar 1 so he needs time to queue swift

[vocal flax]

or not touching Wrap at all

[vocal flax]

oh thats what i did

[whole flame]

yeah but it's still a bit tough lol

gah I might just abandon the idea of using only poison

[vocal flax]

yeah its tough

[stuck hatch]

It doesn't need to be gauge heavy

If he uses aerial ace as soon as he gets to 2 gauge he'll also be left with basically no gauge

[vocal flax]

thankfully he is slow so its manageable

[whole flame]

hmm it doesn't always work for me

i waited until cobalion uses a move before nuking, but upon entering bar 2 he queues Swift immediately

yeah nevermind I'm neglecting this strat

[vocal flax]

The Marnie duo convinced me that Azelf has hidden HE10

[static mural]

I will proceed to put that Marnie duo to Cobalion

[vocal flax]

I think the duo works there too

Anyway here are 3 more streaks. The last 2 duos took a lot of time to do

[vocal flax]

Slow but steady progress 😌

[fervent mortar]

that's the wrong arena

[whole flame]

Haha, Sonia Gloria

That's also my staple

[vocal flax]

Both of us are wrong because Clowntios is the right place

[fervent mortar]

[vocal flax]

Gloria needs so much help!!!

Oh god Zinnia Winona duo on Azelf is so bs

Tfw no Critical Eye

[fervent mortar]

it sucks

[vocal flax]

I wish who tf gave Zinnia Eagle Eye 3 a warm pillow tn

[fervent mortar]

zinnia grid buff when

[vocal flax]

Im nearly giving up the duo

[fervent mortar]

like the other legendaries

mega isn't enough

"fresh strat" my ass

[vocal flax]

she was lagging behind other legendaries back then

[fervent mortar]

she still is!!

[vocal flax]

They decided to shaft her even more

Cant believe this game has 2 Rayquaza being bad

[fervent mortar]

all she needs is like

• TM: crit buffs
• Dragon Ascent MGR9
• some form of utility
• Dauntless fucking please

[vocal flax]

Why asking for Dauntless when we should ask for Impervious instead

TM lowering both defenses by 2 my behatred

[fervent mortar]

she's got fresh start on mega

no way they give her imperv

mega should've had imperv smh smh

[vocal flax]

Zerena has Impervious after sync for no absolute reason while Zinnia needing it badly got fcking Fresh Start instead

[fervent mortar]

zerena is based

[vocal flax]

So true

Btw Mael im going to EX base Serena soon then i will have 5 Serena at EX

[fervent mortar]

[golden haven]

My long term goal

[stuck hatch]

Yes solo with both

[warm ocean]

Stealing13

(1/5 Iono EX, Hau EX duo on Coba)
(Leaf EX, Guxma duo on Azelf)
(1/5 VAgatha, Hilda EX duo on Coba)

[charred trench]

Stealing 26 because it's hard.

[whole flame]

we can't have nice things

they gave up on fixing zinnia so they gave her a good alt

[vocal flax]

And good story arcs

Her saving grace

[cyan pilot]

They also gave up on giving the best dressed alt original VC lines

[charred trench]

I wonder what else have they gave up on?

[lucid plover]

Sync move animations

[charred trench]

Sync moves in general.

[vocal flax]

FUCKING FINALLY

GLORIA AND VICTREBEL DUO ON AZELF IS DONE

TOOK ME 2 hours to get done

[cinder solstice]

Sleep duo that take 2 hours?

You are so unlucky

[vocal flax]

thats because of +1 evasion messing everything up

[whole flame]

Gloria?

Lodge i assume?

Or OG... I guess lodge gloria would be too slow

[vocal flax]

yup its Lodge

actually, she is one of the best sleep enablers

Amped Up + Rejuvenate + decent speed

[cinder solstice]

She is so good ~~ Look at you L Sycamore ~~

[vocal flax]

L stands for

[whole flame]

Ah right amped up

[fervent mortar]

Sycamore is awesome with Agatha lol

[whole flame]

I wouldn't call her speed stat decent but yeah amped up and rejuvenate helps a lot

[cinder solstice]

He without Agatha is so hard

The gauge is always in danger

[whole flame]

I haven't touched LSycamore in ages

I should look into him and Agatha ig

[elfin scaffold]

That’s like 30% of my daily sleep

[vocal flax]

go back to sleep LG haters

[honest spire]

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

Gloria duo ate a lot of my time so i have to rush

Dawn duo also took a couple of tries because of bad timing or getting rafa'd

[vocal flax]

most people dont go this far

[vocal flax]

they are the circus so it makes sense

[elfin scaffold]

[whole flame]

it's only been a week anyway

I see you also did the LAcerola Colress duo. it was so easy I kinda regretted it. should've saved LAcerola for someone else

how was Kiawe + Sophocles? I hate his innate nuke multiplier so much

[stuck hatch]

i did the whitney duo

it's pretty neat

whitney gets the attack and crit

i think (?) full para works with fail forward and slapdash

[vocal flax]

i did intend to do Colress/sup Nidoking duo but i got brainfart and used Acerola now i have to find a substitute for Acerola in Whitney's duo

[vocal flax]

its not too hard, nearly no rng involved aside from a TM MPR

tho you have to damage control on bar 2 to skip half bar

[whole flame]

so you don't paralyze bar 2 immediately?

how many sync buffs does Soph need to skip half bar anyway

I have little to no confidence in him

[vocal flax]

i did paralyze bar 2 immediately, but i deal enough damage to before 50% hp point followed by a flinch to skip bar

if you want, you can farm sync buffs on bar 1

[whole flame]

I see I see

[vocal flax]

I got starting Poison upgrade in BR this time but fortunately there is an Electric upgrade in the shop as well

[fervent mortar]

gakon 🤝 me
starting with a bad upgrade and buying electric in the middle of the run

electric is so goated

[vocal flax]

i havent checked my full role set yet but i think the starting roles are sprint and tech?

[fervent mortar]

[vocal flax]

just checked, this one favors tech

the 10th battle is tech / field

[fervent mortar]

eh

[vocal flax]

I got brainfart and the starting bonus roles are support / sprint

Which turn out to be better than the previous set

10th battle roles are Support / Strike which are basically made for caked NC Blue!!!

[vocal flax]

Fuck Palmer UB

[whole flame]

Oooo what team

[honest spire]

Only 200 pts, impressive

[vocal flax]

NC Blue, SS Hilda and SS Red ate Thorton on hard difficulty alive

would be cool if i got different UB on VH

i even prepared for Lucy UB which is the second worst UB imo

[honest spire]

That would be Argenta bestie

[vocal flax]

the bonus roles were Support / Strike, so i had a diverse roster

[vocal flax]

bestie i had Mixed

[whole flame]

I haven't gotten her at all

When I get Lucy UB I pray I get the MPizza for infinite B Roost

[vocal flax]

i got her once, but i bought apple cup even tho i was using SS Acerola and Mixed

smh i didnt care about math back then

[whole flame]

Me neither lol

Finally i can get back to LG grinding after Tet holiday

[vocal flax]

i got crit back to back during Rosa solo i blame LG haters for this

[vocal flax]

I finally won but lets take a look at 5 back to back crit on bar 2 (thats why he has +6 atk) 💀

[whole flame]

Man I'm tempted to just add an eggmon to the Rosa solo

[vocal flax]

you should

preferably a crit support

[whole flame]

Rosa LS? Unbending?

[vocal flax]

Enlightenment for the solo, because speed debuffs hurt

nah definitely not every month

it's too much lol

LG is every other month anyway

It's Latios, I can vouch

[fervent mortar]

just asked arch to pin my lg11 score

How shocked? ||I'm willing to see someone cringe||

[vocal flax]

@/Odin

[honest spire]

is this LG12 or 13?

[fervent mortar]

the current one is 13

[charred trench]

What was the first one?

[honest spire]

Take a wild guess

[charred trench]

-1?

[vocal flax]

CGio and LWally solo on Latios are do not attempt them unless you hate yourself

idk why i spent some hours keep trying them lol

[elfin scaffold]

cuz you hate yourself?

[vocal flax]

correct

[elfin scaffold]

[vocal flax]

random fact for absolute no reason: it took me 1 year to notice that BP Mesprit has both Unbending and Stalwart at base, and during that period it was left ungridded

[elfin scaffold]

I knew that

|| I think ||

[charred trench]

Wait, it has both Unbending and Stalwart?

[vocal flax]

very cool, isnt it

[charred trench]

someone has to innately counter Azelf's bar 1 hitting like a truck and it's Mesprit

[honest spire]

Nice streaks I will continue hating from the sidelines

[vocal flax]

thank you hopefully you do 100 6 streaks next LG

[honest spire]

I'll try my best! No promises

[elfin scaffold]

Let the hate flow

[vocal flax]

at least there is one thing that both LG enthusiasts and haters agree on, that is Battle Rally being the best mode

[elfin scaffold]

I don’t even know if you showed your BR score this week yet

[charred trench]

You did it! And somehow you beat Latios with another Latios!

@honest spire What the fuck, try LG.

10 streak should be ez enough with overkill

[elfin scaffold]

Arch will exert dominance by not doing a 10 win clear

WHOOOOO WELL DONE

[vocal flax]

you can do it

[cyan pilot]

100

how much patience

[vocal flax]

yes

[cyan pilot]

i haven't even started yet

y'all do like 20 on day 1 lmao

[stuck hatch]

5 clears a day is 105 clears

100 in 2 weeks is ~7 clears a day

[cyan pilot]

but the time commitment I wish I had that much time sometimes

but maybe it's our limited time that makes this game so special

[stuck hatch]

And 255 clears in 2 weeks is ~18 a day

[vocal flax]

There were days i did 0 clear and there were a day i did 12 clears

[cyan pilot]

usually I just hammer out my 10 in rapid succession on friday night

[charred trench]

Naw. You have been left behind.

[elfin scaffold]

don't worry. 10 clears and out is good too

[vocal flax]

[charred trench]

I don't think you should have said that in front of a person who spent days getting a 100 win streak

[modest narwhal]

Nah that's the perfect time to do it

[vocal flax]

Help my thread is getting raided by LG haters

[modest narwhal]

[charred trench]

What?

[charred trench]

Facts facts facts!

[vocal flax]

Chezei, rancer and Arch are LG haters and they keep coming to my thread to slander the second best mode ||its just a silly joke between us dw||

[charred trench]

That's wild.

Can't believe y'all don't hate LA

[elfin scaffold]

Hey I love LA, I just hate their sports teams. Oh wait what are we talking about again?

[charred trench]

Shoot, I meant Legendary Arena.

[vocal flax]

You should get used to our jokes here quickly

[modest narwhal]

I still haven't finished Registeel in the LA

[stuck hatch]

I have finished it twice

And that's enough registeel for a lifetime for me and nc marnie

Try not to take me too seriously (unless I’m sick), because I joke a lot (even when sick )

[elfin scaffold]

LG Legend Registeel (I think it has appeared once idr)

[whole flame]

this exactly

I aim to do an average of 5 clears per day. I knew I would be busy in the last week of LG so I rushed a bit during the first 2 weeks. Right now I'm slightly ahead of schedule

[warm ocean]

Here, I’ll help.
To every nonsensical person: fuck off!!!

[warm ocean]

No it’s not

[vocal flax]

dont take it seriously

imma do 4k CSMM offtype next week because i need some healing after LG burntout

[modest narwhal]

[honest spire]

Finally, a based moment from Gakon

[vocal flax]

im always based 😌

[whole flame]

The RNG's just as bad 😭

You're just going from whack teams to good teams with insane bulk and firepower

[vocal flax]

but its not fun to use overkill teams to match with the difficulty

[vocal flax]

Slightly offtopic, but I have a good news and a bad news for my clears enjoyers

Good news is, I have found the culprit that made my recordings laggy, I just got rid of it and my videos should be okay now

Here comes the bad news, the culprit is my usual recording app it also slowed down other apps' performance, even when I don't use it. So no more video clears from now unless I get a new phone and I will try to describe more details on my clears

[stuck hatch]

Maybe there's a better recording app or lighter settings?

[warm ocean]

there has to be. mind telling us what you're using?

[vocal flax]

i was using XRecorder app back then, so if you guys have other recommendations, please DM to me

[elfin scaffold]

Wish I could help with that but I just used the default software with iPhones.

[vocal flax]

my default app is worse somehow

[elfin scaffold]

You’re in the android ecosystem right?

[vocal flax]

Good theme boost for me. Hopefully the full set is okay as well

Bonus roles on arena 1 are sprint and strike

[vocal flax]

spoke too soon, the pattern is not so good

at least Riley saved me

[vocal flax]

Stalling Arena 10 is fun Toxic Chance is the most underrated passive of Mixed

[vocal flax]

I could get more points if i got better role set than this. I dont own any of Strike + Sprint (there is 2 of them wtf) and Field + Support and ofc the curses Field + Sprint on A10

[stuck drift]

Stall???

[vocal flax]

You heard that right Darach was close to 6th sync

[vocal flax]

I decided to lower the challenge to 3.5k because i lack many offtype powerhouses

First round Vs. Drake: Sconia's nuke is very good under sun, and with Acerola's PMUN supplies both her and SS Erika brought Drake to enough range and let Sconia's sync finished them off. I got rafa'd on both sides so I had to queue 2 extra attacks

[whole flame]

Stalling BR

[vocal flax]

I had to

[vocal flax]

Vs. Sidney: he hit very hard for no reason, but at the same time he chose death

Here are params used:

[vocal flax]

Vs. Glacia: oh god no one could survive Blizzard spam in my previous attempts with different teams, so SS Cyrus came to rescue due to inconsistent sleep duration its very risky to sneak in Dark Wish so I just ignored it and spam Dark Void

Game crashed after I took the screenshot so i will post params later

[vocal flax]

Vs. Phoebe: not me pulling out the gun after frogs didnt work

Parameters

Vs. Steven: in my first attempts I tried NC Blue, Mix Red and SS Leaf aka bootleg Kantrio, but SS Leaf couldn't do much (only 17k in the second sync), so I had to switch into this team. Oh boy it's funny to see the opponents can't move at all or have their moves missed

Parameters used:

And that's the end of my weekly challenge sadly my roster is not well built enough to tackle 20k CSMM, but I might revisit this theme again in other CS rotation

i also did cami's theme by accident

[honest spire]

Why isn't your SS Cyrus EX'd

[vocal flax]

bestie because he is not 2/5 yet

[honest spire]

I fail to see why that matters

[fervent mortar]

Because he doesnt want to sync

[stuck hatch]

or attack or tank
so it's just +20 speed

[vocal flax]

and the most important: he cant solo any LA stage at 1/5

[fervent mortar]

In theory I think he could ?

Fast Track LS and get early procs

[vocal flax]

yeah but 1/5 has no gauge, even with FT

maybe with better skill gears he can, but for now 1/5 is not possible methinks

[vocal flax]

looking at my teams again, i like how you have to either keep deny enemies' moves or brute force with your strongest dmg dealer in harder CS

[elfin scaffold]

EX’ing SS Cyrus because he would help you clear things

EX’ing SS Cyrus because he got drip

[vocal flax]

counterpoint: his normal outfit already got drip

[elfin scaffold]

Counter counterpoint: you can never have enough drip

[vocal flax]

Counter of counter counterpoint: 20 for a different drip is costly for Gakon

[elfin scaffold]

That what battle rally is for

[vocal flax]

i havent done cake vouncher exchange

[elfin scaffold]

Should get started on that

[charred trench]

I mean they're good if you hate waiting.

[vocal flax]

the thing is, im fine with waiting

[fervent mortar]

I got everything

[stuck hatch]

i did use the 3 temporary ones tho

[vocal flax]

Go do it

[vocal flax]

thanks to Calem's Team Safe Start!

based passive

[charred trench]

Wait, how many points was this? 15K?

[vocal flax]

yes ofc

i always run 15k challenge since the cap raise

[charred trench]

That's pretty cool.

[vocal flax]

I decided to do a quick challenge for myself, and optimize only run is done most of these teams are very questionable, but at the same time using these teams make the usual CS harder or at least Glacia and Steven

Except Glacia and Steven stage, the rest is first try. I had to make a custom parameter set for Glacia, which allowed OG Gloria to take down the mid right after second sync + Dj Gloria's max move.

Steven's team sounds alright at first, until you realize that Penny is weak to Steel I resetted for a favorable move order, then sync with Penny for buffs. After that chipping down with both Victor and use double max moves before Steven's sync

I love how optimize ignored Elesa, tech Perrserker, SS Hilbert, Courtney, Bertha and SSA Cynthia's existence

[charred trench]

Questionable instead...

[fervent mortar]

optimize challenge is easy until there's a flying weakness

then you cry because it recommends Zinnia

[vocal flax]

At least it gives Winona too, r-right?

[round kite]

"Yeah, I have blue EXed"
"Zinnia it is"

[vocal flax]

I remember the last time i touched optimize, it kept recommending SS Morty on a Water weak stage with May and Cyrus
