High Score

[grizzled spade]

What base do you guys set?

[cunning shore]

She nukes hard

[outer whale]

I'm literally just wanting 300K

[thorny grove]

Oh wait yeah what was your score multiplier on your run?

[cunning shore]

Lana? Below 400
Rest above 500

[thorny grove]

You can try to go up by 10k if you didn’t have too much trouble

[cunning shore]

Marlon run on 600 👀

[outer whale]

[thorny grove]

Roughly 400-450 for everyone but Lana.
Lana I did 510 with off type SST Red since my water units are gonna kill me if I wanna try to beat Lana at 400

[cunning shore]

I wanna see if I can do some ridiculous 800 with 1 OP on-type unit

[thorny grove]

Tbh same. I wanna try it on Misty or Marlon

[full pulsar]

Hello! I'm here to ask right about this. I wanted to try the stages first. I will not be able to raise my score if I complete the event?

[grizzled spade]

Damnn

I’ve been doing like

200-300

[grizzled spade]

You can reset your score and try again for a higher one

[cunning shore]

You can keep increasing your score till the event ends

Whatever you do right now is reversible so just go wild

[thorny grove]

Yep, just press reset at the bottom and it’ll bring you to this page and you can select what runs you wanna “reset”. Afterwards you can redo the stages for a higher score but it won’t get rid of your best overall score.

[grizzled spade]

Razor Shell or Jaw Lock Nuke set?

[thorny grove]

Nuke

[full pulsar]

Oh ok, so I can raise it anytime. I misread the "top score is unaffected by resets". You meant, it can't go lower, just higher

[grizzled spade]

Ah sorry

Both are Nuke, which set is a better Nuke do you think?

[thorny grove]

Razor shell set is literally “lets increase crit rate on RS crits.” You’ll be doing jaw lock and either rock tomb or RS to lower Def and Speed for Nuke so you’ll be doing water damage most likely anyways.

[cunning shore]

Yes, your highest score will remain till you can go higher

[thorny grove]

Yes you can only go up. But make sure you clear all 5 beforehand. Otherwise no that will actually get rid of your score.

[full pulsar]

Cool, so i can reset a bad run and still keep the good ones. Thank you so much

[thorny grove]

Np and gl on your runs!

[full pulsar]

Thank you guys!!

[outer whale]

ok wow, i can easily do marlon

[thorny grove]

Yeah Marlon is real easy to get better scores on. Tbh getting 60k is easy

[cunning shore]

Cerena just ruins Marlon stage. With some accuracy hax you can go really high

Man some of Lana's clears in the pins leaves me astonishes me

[lucid timber]

Marlon was going crazy

[thorny grove]

I thought that was for Marlon’s stage. That’s great! Not at all the team I would’ve used but hey leaves you with other options for other stages

[outer whale]

299K

[cunning shore]

1 more run

The ping has happened

[thorny grove]

Btw @onyx crystal top 200 for that ranking in pinned.

[cunning shore]

xD

[thorny grove]

Now the ping has happened

[lucid timber]

Ye I used may, ssblue, cerena, tech blastoise already and I wanna save Archie and techgdose for lana and glojo for Archie

[thorny grove]

Archie for Lana? Huh I don’t think I’ve seen anyone use that yet. What clears have you done so far?

[lucid timber]

Kinda left me with drednaw for damag

[lucid timber]

First set of attempts so I’m prob gonna reset everything later and try to get higher scores

[thorny grove]

I felt that for like an hour and a half. I was 172 points off for an hour and a half after beating Lana

Huh. Alright what water units do you have left? Glojo should help a lot for Archie and Archie I have no clue for Lana (I used him with Thunder on Misty)

[cunning shore]

If I can manage 66k on Lana I would be at #1

God give me patience

[thorny grove]

Gl, I couldn’t ever think of doing that without Glojo. Maybe if I can get a copy of her in a daily I’ll try since I have 7 Gen pool candies rn and need to burn em.

[outer whale]

It is done.

[elfin spade]

What is up with marlon’s special condition? Does it just not affect things

Like there’s no way around the cut to all stats?

[cunning shore]

It affects strikers

[elfin spade]

Oh wait really?

Is it just strikers?

[sour fable]

Look at marlon shining in this event

[cunning shore]

Ye, just go with non strikers

[lucid timber]

Prolly gonna use smth like this for Archie

[elfin spade]

Wtf how did I not read that

Okay I can push for some higher scores then

Eusine was not doing shit

[cunning shore]

Go on my friend

[elfin spade]

And I was like wtf

[outer whale]

@onyx crystal update.
Misty: 375
Marlon: 400
Lana: 375
Nessa: 340
Archie: 400

[cunning shore]

300k club
Cool jackets here

[lucid timber]

Not much

Well a few but

[elfin spade]

Who are the primary candidates for EX for a higher score? (I know Kris would probably be good to EX)

[outer whale]

I might as well do Nessa?

idk, Nessa is weird to me

[elfin spade]

Is that response to me or other guy?

Cause I have EX nessa

[thorny grove]

So sickkkk!!!! You’re a little above me nice job!

[elfin spade]

Should I prioritise EXing some supports like elio and bp misty or my 1/5 limited damage dealers like eusine and lysandre

[thorny grove]

Eusine and Lys. Personally they did more from EX because they can take out the sides easier with syncs. I’d say Lys over Eusine because he dosent already have an aoe move (outside of heat wave but it’s heat wave).
Also just depends on what teams you were gonna use. I didn’t really need Elio but I defiantly needed both Eusine and Lys, or even just had a support ex on my team already and didn’t need another, otherwise it’d prob kill me because I didn’t take them out by second sync.

[elfin spade]

Okay cool

Or would a tech be better like lodge rosa or Barry?

Elio helped a tonne in the run I used him in

[thorny grove]

Barry is striker

[elfin spade]

Since those few turn denials were really crucial

Oh lol I always forget

[thorny grove]

And Tech could be good, depends on who you use and what team you use.

[elfin spade]

Mm okay

I’m planning on EXing at least 2 units before the end of the event for a higher score

[thorny grove]

Like if you pair Elio 3/5 speed and def debuffer with Nessa, then EXing her would be great.

[elfin spade]

I have ex nessa

[thorny grove]

But if you’re looking more at Hilbert with her then her EX wouldn’t be as worth it since she’d need a lot more set up and may not be able to clear the stage on her own.

[elfin spade]

Mm okay

[outer whale]

Screw it, for Nessa, what should i do?

[elfin spade]

Well she’s already EX so lol

[thorny grove]

Ok, I was just using her as an example as to how to determine who you’d wanna ex.

[elfin spade]

Right right

Okay

I’ll probably EX Kris and either lysandre or bp misty

Thank you

[thorny grove]

👍

[thorny grove]

Lysandre is basically the fault to Nessa so if you need help on her stage then he’s your best bet

[foggy breach]

Can anyone really do 1000?

[elfin spade]

Okay

I could defs shoot for a higher score there

[thorny grove]

Tbh idk. For Nessa I did Lys Eusine and Swim Misty.

[elfin spade]

I also think I over did it in my misty run. Is she a bit easier than the other stages?

[thorny grove]

Probably. Just depends on who they bring, though I highly doubt it’ll be with water users

[thorny grove]

What did you use?

[foggy breach]

I tried with 3rd anni team to no avail

[thorny grove]

What stage? I was thinking of trying that team on Nessa

[elfin spade]

I used ss blue, champ serena and May

[foggy breach]

On nessa

[elfin spade]

I could’ve defs not used may I think she was a waste there

[thorny grove]

Mmmmmm…. Yeah uh I’d say a bit overkill.

[elfin spade]

Yeah

[thorny grove]

Have you beaten Marlon yet?

[elfin spade]

It was my highest score

[thorny grove]

Because Cerena is like the Marlon killer

[elfin spade]

I should just post my teams I used

Oh really?

I should make notes of this

[thorny grove]

Yeah she’s on majority of Marlon teams.

[outer egret]

What difficulty do I need do to get all the rewards?

[elfin spade]

I didn’t know that marlon needed no strikers so I’ll redo that fight

And I’ll probably reset the misty fight so I have may to use elsewhere (probably for nessa)

[thorny grove]

Depends on your point count, units for multiplier, how fast you beat the stage, etc. you need to hit 180k, so you’d need about 36k per stage

Yeah so Marlon you can prob get about 55-60k with May and Cerena. And you don’t even need Blue, you can use Lodge Adaman

[elfin spade]

Okay cool

[thorny grove]

My runs would have May in more of a support debuff role with rain dance for Cerena’s Syncs. Adaman sets up at the start and WS does the rest.

That run was at 400 strength increase

[elfin spade]

Okay

Wait isn’t 400 kinda low?

[lucid timber]

What should I ex to help with this

Adaman?

[elfin spade]

How was the score so high with just 400?

[thorny grove]

What stage?

[lucid timber]

Just the whole event in general

[lucid timber]

No specific stage

[elfin spade]

Oh I was thinking about the 15000 thing

Is there a seperate strength setting you can apply?

[thorny grove]

I’d say Lana, Adaman, Kris and Grims are good to ex. I’d put Lana at the top, Kris and Grins kinda equal, and Adaman at the bottom (depends on the team you put him with)

[lucid timber]

Why grimsley?

[thorny grove]

It’s the thing when you enter the stage. Where you can add or subtract 10 from the difficulty

[elfin spade]

Okay

[thorny grove]

Great sync and can help take care of Archie and/or Lana. Same with Kris.

[lucid timber]

Interesting

Also is max strength increase possible

[thorny grove]

It may be

[outer whale]

Ok, i'm actually done now

307K
Misty: 375
Marlon: 400
Lana: 375
Nessa: 400
Archie: 400

[candid cobalt]

Dunno which team to retry tho

But yeah I think I’m done

[low lynx]

is there a way i can get higher scores? only those in the boxes are gridded sadly

[onyx current]

How many points do you think this team can get maybe replace Barry with eusine

[candid cobalt]

I'd say about 60k points?

With Eusine btw

[onyx current]

What I said but vice versa I’m multi taking lel

[shell oak]

losing my mind over this user

[worn bronze]

you have 2 weeks

plenty of time

[candid cobalt]

Everyone says that but these battles are genuinely painful

[onyx current]

I can wait 2 weeks Greta idea

[outer whale]

there's a ball guy in top 100 with a """interesting""" name

[shell oak]

LMAO i just saw him as you said that

[worn bronze]

i have seen plenty of questionable names lol

[candid cobalt]

Oh wait yeah Richu

Wouldn't VLyra be better off in another team?

[onyx current]

I give up lel

[candid cobalt]

what str is this

[onyx current]

Only 300

[candid cobalt]

Oh huh

I'd imagine that team would do ok but hm

Was Misty just blizzard spamming before sync?

[outer whale]

from my experience, Lodge units cannot survive Sync nukes unless heavily buffed in defenses

these include Dewott, Lodgegatr, and Wailmer

[candid cobalt]

Interesting

[outer whale]

like at 400 Strength, most of my units are just on the brink of dying after a sync nuke

[candid cobalt]

My Lodge Rosa survived fine but yeah she did have +6 def

[elfin spade]

Bro has 3 5/5 limited and like no gridded units how

[unreal crest]

Only need Nessa

[onyx crystal]

Can you update this post with the strength?

[onyx crystal]

Needs to be the screencap of the Details portion, that shows teams.

[unreal crest]

Too many pings, I assume

[onyx crystal]

I don't mind it, just kind of ackward if you don't follow the format. 🫠

[thorny grove]

Like that? Sorry I didn’t see the part about the strength

[livid tusk]

Okay completed Lana, easily

I think I didn’t score the best though

Going to finish Archie and I am done with this content

[worn bronze]

@onyx crystal
Misty - 400
Marlon - 400
Lana - 450
Nessa - 300
Archie - 450

[onyx crystal]

Please edit the strength of each stage into this post.

The last screenshot is enough.

Otherwise people have to do napkin math to figure out the strength values.

[thorny grove]

Ooooh ok I see. Sorry..

[worn bronze]

Marlon had enduring 4 times vs Lana so I don't know how you can replicate that lol

[tardy quartz]

@onyx crystal for top 200:
Misty - 530
Marlon - 320
Lana - 245
Nessa - 300
Archie - 400

[unreal crest]

I didn't even crack top 1000 lmao

[tardy quartz]

Misty - 530
Marlon - 320
Lana - 245
Nessa - 300
Archie - 400

Lemme make them one post ughhh pic didn’t send

bruh

[onyx crystal]

[tardy quartz]

Read the above posts before pinging sages

[onyx crystal]

Team Details + Stage Strength list 🫠

[worn bronze]

Sages sounding a broken record lol

[unreal crest]

Having eusine for Lana

[onyx crystal]

This one doesn't list the total score. 🫠

300,198

[livid tusk]

I finally got back in the Top 10k, after getting my 180k rewards

Don’t care if I stay there

Just happy to have some stuff

[blazing birch]

Misty: 400
Marlon: 450
Lana: 300
Nessa: 350
Archie: 430

[unreal crest]

In the picture

[tardy quartz]

God I need to push Archie more when I get some time

[unreal crest]

how to push

[tardy quartz]

Reset the 1 stage then just up the strength

I did that a ton for Misty today and got her up to 530

[unreal crest]

Ah

[candid cobalt]

Geez 530

[unreal crest]

Not for leaderboard, just think I can do better

Struggling on lana because uhhh

[tardy quartz]

Lana is 100% the most annoying

Only good thing about her is she doesn’t use any AoE

[blazing birch]

Not Healing

[unreal crest]

Me who had HH on Marlon for some goddamn reason

[blazing birch]

But...

It is extra gauge

[unreal crest]

TRUE

[onyx crystal]

Okay I added everyone who pinged me recently. 5 Entries.

[unreal crest]

Just feels weird when he gets two shot by her

[tardy quartz]

Ty Sages

[onyx crystal]

please let me know if the Linked comment isn't correct

looks to be in order

Haven’t finished my 2nd ranking attempt

[eternal valve]

Mannnn I don’t even wanna do this, it seems like all the good water units I have are poo for this

[unreal crest]

Welcome to my world

[thorny grove]

I think maybe it’d help if we saw it like this in the pinned instructions as an example of what to do. Some people may just think that the ranking image is enough (like I did) or just not know exactly what you wanted from the details page (like… I also did… sorry I’m really tired)

[tardy quartz]

That’s just gonna flood the pins

The linked messages go to those posts, so they are easy to find

[eternal valve]

Am I screwed

[onyx crystal]

If you just want rewards it shouldn't be too bad.

[willow plank]

ye 180k is easily attainable with those

[onyx crystal]

I could post my own score as an example.

[unreal crest]

Nvm

[outer whale]

@onyx crystal updated! just double checking, but this should be correct.

yep, it's correct

[haughty haven]

It was so close

[thorny grove]

Oof. What was the strength on the stage?

[unreal crest]

1000

[haughty haven]

Just 410

Yeah

420 his sync one shot my Rosa

[outer whale]

i've gotten that many times with Lana.

and she was 375

[onyx crystal]

Better than my first run. It’s better to practice and get a feel for each stage, then iterate.
Misty: 450
Marlon: 300
Lana: 350
Nessa: 380
Archie: 370

[thorny grove]

Gotcha. I didn’t even use Kris. I may retry Lana with her idk. I’m content with my 300k… but I want to get an extra 5k because of ocd

[haughty haven]

Nessa can survive, but she drop Def so Slow

[onyx crystal]

Not sure how others used KriSS to tank Lana, when she's mostly physical.

[haughty haven]

VS Lana you cant survive

[outer whale]

the sides have Hydro Pump, and Water Pulse, while Lana can still use Ice Beam

[haughty haven]

You Must Flinch or Sleep her

[thorny grove]

I think they used Misty for evasion and tanking.

[outer whale]

I got SUPER lucky.... i used CONFUSION to win. @haughty haven

[thorny grove]

That’s what I did a few runs before I just went back to tanking with Blue and hoping I get confusion before he dies.

[haughty haven]

Me too

[outer whale]

but yea, i'm not touching Lana's battle ever again

if i play her battle more, i'm going to get a heart palpatation

[thorny grove]

I hated her so much. But that’s like the one spot where I can get more points and get that 5k I’m missing to complete the OCD

[haughty haven]

@onyx crystal
Misty 580
Marlon 500
Lana 420
Nessa 300
Archie 410

[blazing birch]

By having Elio at her side to stop any major physical attack

[outer whale]

it's not worth it. if you know, you know.

this image is scarred into my head

[thorny grove]

Bruh that fucking H pump

[onyx crystal]

But I'm using Eusine. 🫠

[haughty haven]

That why in my run, i kill this monster first

[onyx crystal]

Isn't B Surf gonna screw up sleep lock

[thorny grove]

I reset so many attempts. I needed either ice beam at the start or x item and then I needed to hope and pray that god damned octopus canon shot my tank down

[outer whale]

Pyuko i need to ask

what the hell was marlon's role there?

just endure strats?

[thorny grove]

I just used SST Red and nuked it out of existance with BVolt.

[haughty haven]

He have Acc buff

Help Elio 100% sleep

[blazing birch]

I don't think it would unless 20% flinch rate

[outer whale]

weird. did you have Vigilance on Elio?

[haughty haven]

And help Elio tank a bit

Elio still help Lucky Skill help Sing

[thorny grove]

Wait Marlon has accuracy buffs?

[outer whale]

what did you have on his grid then?

[haughty haven]

But with that still just have 90% sing

[onyx crystal]

Pinpoint Entry 1

[outer whale]

he has sing acc nodes on grid

[haughty haven]

No he dont

[thorny grove]

Oh right in the grid. Huh neat

[outer whale]

oh i'm thinking of Melony

[haughty haven]

Marlon also help Elio tank because he have Endure

Because after Sync Lana just oneshot at 420 str

[rancid perch]

where's crasher wake?

[outer whale]

based Lisia theme user

[blazing birch]

That's his fav in the image

[onyx crystal]

[haughty haven]

But still not help me get through the pain at the end

Why -6acc hit

[onyx crystal]

I'm still in the testing phase. 🫠

[thorny grove]

I feel like enemy accuracy and our evasion literally mean nothing I’m constantly getting hit by -6 acc +6 evas moves in this game when I try

[outer whale]

Eusine is a mood when you win a match

[candid cobalt]

Fellow Eusine against Nessa user

🤝

[thorny grove]

Eusine is great. I used him and Lys on Nessa for just double 4 gauge damage

[candid cobalt]

Sheesh

LySS and Eusine together?

Now I'm wondering what pairs you have that you could afford to have both in one team

[thorny grove]

Yeah. The BSurf refreshes 3 gauges every hit.

[outer whale]

i do respect the people who had the guts to use SSGrimsley of all people

[thorny grove]

These was my teams. I may redo a bit but I think I’m good here

[thorny grove]

Me reading this:

[outer whale]

listen, if you can manage his dead weight of a TM. then you deserve the win

[thorny grove]

That’s what Hilbert was for. Just does what his TM does without the downside.

[unreal crest]

eusine is gone right?

or is he still there

[thorny grove]

Uh no he’s still around for 2 more days

[outer whale]

he's here until the 17th

wait, 14th yes

[thorny grove]

17th? I thought 15th?

[unreal crest]

cool i'll still be broke by then

[thorny grove]

Rip

[outer whale]

i'm tired

[thorny grove]

Same man. Same.

[worn bronze]

At least you don’t have to worry about a higher score anymore Linkable

[outer whale]

..... I'm worrying about a higher score if someone is mad enough to hit 400K

[onyx crystal]

Oh yay. I'm above 300,000 now.

[outer whale]

top 1 is at 380K rn

[thorny grove]

Woo

[outer whale]

[thorny grove]

Welcome to 300k club

[worn bronze]

300k club

[outer whale]

300K club, only the elites

[candid cobalt]

Ah now that I see what pairs you have that makes more sense now

How are people going so high 😭

[outer whale]

here's your complimentary concerned pat on the shoulder if your mentally ok.

because i'm not 🙃

[candid cobalt]

At this point my 247k is gonna be like rank 2000 or something

[thorny grove]

I have all the water pairs except for Seabad, Lyra Vaporeon copypasta, and Glojo. If I can snag Glojo then I’m gonna go beat the shit out of Lana

[thorny grove]

Hey as long as it’s 10k

[candid cobalt]

Ah

Mannn

[outer whale]

i'm waiting for the mad man who's able to actually beat a 1000 match

[candid cobalt]

Now I'm wondering if people getting 180k would even be enough to be in Masters

[haughty haven]

I see Nessa very good again Lana

[unreal crest]

idk how to do better with glojo on lana

[thorny grove]

I wanna try but also Lana attempts have me drained

[candid cobalt]

Lana is extremely painful

[outer whale]

180K will definitely not make you top 10k

[candid cobalt]

But she's not as bad as Marlon for me

Yikes

That's harsh

[unreal crest]

how

[thorny grove]

Nessa good against Lana? I was gonna do that but the teams just didn’t work out with what I have left.

[haughty haven]

IDK

[outer whale]

just fyi, this was top 10K's threshold earlier today.

[candid cobalt]

Oh no

[stray dust]

Nessa has nuke

[onyx crystal]

Nessa lowers def, which reduces Towering Force.

[candid cobalt]

Very soon 180k will barely make it to Master 10000

[haughty haven]

Bicio have clear with Nessa-Eusine-SS Blue

[onyx crystal]

Good to know, I'm keeping it the explanation pins.

[thorny grove]

Maybe I can try it again with just a lower score strength and hope. With SST Red I literally sent to +1800 difficulty. I guess I can do better with a lower score.

[unreal crest]

ah, maybe i'll just reset everything and see what i can come up with

[haughty haven]

But Nessa drop Def very slow

VERY SLOW

If y not lucky

[thorny grove]

Yeah that is my problem

[onyx crystal]

Yeah, it's not the fastest, idk how that team works honestly.

[candid cobalt]

Which is why I used Nessa with Elio against Marlon

[thorny grove]

I was upset that in her grid there’s just nothing for defense drop or razor shell at all. It’s literally just “here go crit or something”

[candid cobalt]

I'm ngl I've had to make some whack grids just for this mode

[thorny grove]

Before I looked I was pretty excited for her at Lana’s stage and then boom.

[outer whale]

If someone gets 400k they are 100% a whale.

[thorny grove]

Sameeee.

[candid cobalt]

On god

Ain't no way someone can get 400k as a f2p player

[haughty haven]

I wish Nessa has on the roll 1

[onyx crystal]

Stop pushing Runner down.

[unreal crest]

no, keep going

[thorny grove]

Yeah no if she just had that I’d be good

[haughty haven]

That why i drop Nessa for Rosa

Rose has 100% def drop

[onyx crystal]

Gacha with a Leaderboard.

[candid cobalt]

The thing is that Rosa's damage isn't great

But defense drops are v handy

[onyx crystal]

Rosa has Power Reserves 4, so she gets pretty decent post enemy-sync.

[haughty haven]

Yeah, but because i use Nessa to drop def help Kris

[thorny grove]

Oh wait hang on what’s Bicio’s Eusine at? If it’s 5/5 then any attack with a trapped flinched or confused opponent gets massively debuffed

[onyx crystal]

His is 3/5.

[unreal crest]

3/5

[thorny grove]

Damn. Welp there goes that lol.

[haughty haven]

But my Rosa just 4⭐️, she get deleted at str 420

[onyx crystal]

But 5/5 Eusine with Disarm is basically god.

[candid cobalt]

I can imagine that

[onyx crystal]

No ?

[haughty haven]

Yeah

I’m poor

[thorny grove]

Yeah. Tbh I may do that I wanted to make mine 5/5 anyways. I could do that and change my Nessa team to be weaker strength and then Nuke Lana to oblivion

[haughty haven]

[plush raven]

This thing is the most RNG heavy event they have done

[onyx crystal]

I only have 14 sync pairs left, that are 4-star.

[onyx crystal]

But, most battles are RNG.

[haughty haven]

I have 66

[blazing birch]

Legendary Gauntlet: Excuse me, what did you just SAY?!

[outer whale]

.....literally.... Pokemon in GENERAL is ALL RNG

[onyx crystal]

Champion Stadium, enemy queues Close Combat off the bat.
LG grinding, and now this.

NO CRIT SYNC

[outer whale]

legendary Gauntlet actually has a competent set of moves on the bars

[blazing birch]

We don't talk about this

[thorny grove]

[haughty haven]

[rancid perch]

sucks that of all the periods of the game I missed, it was the one with the frogs

[candid cobalt]

Bro just has the LE power ups sitting around

[haughty haven]

I dont even have 1 golden candy

[thorny grove]

Not all of em. I accidently exchanged Giovanni’s.

[candid cobalt]

Wait a sec

But giovannis is right there

[thorny grove]

Also got these

[candid cobalt]

Unless that's an old screenshot

[haughty haven]

Stop Pls

[thorny grove]

Oh wait no wrong thing

[haughty haven]

I’m sad

[candid cobalt]

Do you just like collecting them

[haughty haven]

[onyx crystal]

getting a little off-topic 🫠

[candid cobalt]

Welp either way I'd love to see someone use non limited units to clear this event

[outer whale]

what's that meme where someone does something and on impact, they just melt into this color vomit.... that's how it feels

[thorny grove]

I exchanged Gio’s custom voucher to exchange getting extra copies

[thorny grove]

And yes I do.

[candid cobalt]

Understandable

[onyx crystal]

Anyway, I'm working on a sync pair grading sheet:
Not sure how to collect feedback for this type of thing. But I'm trying to score based on several factors.

• debuffs that counter the stage
• buffs that counter the enemy's main damage type
• blah blah

[haughty haven]

It very hard to rank

[thorny grove]

Pfft. From my screenshots I got this beautiful image to happen. Swimsuit Archie when?

[haughty haven]

Like Marlon is dog shit alone

[outer whale]

@ taiyomega

[rancid perch]

unfortunate that they don't let you archie vs archie

[candid cobalt]

Lmao when boss Archie counters playable Archie

[thorny grove]

No no no let him cook. Archie’s got this

[outer whale]

I would help out if i could Sages.

I'll only be able to help with 1/5 calcs though

[thorny grove]

I feel like SS Misty is just gonna be in every one because of propulsion

[outer whale]

and i don't have either glorias for that data

[thorny grove]

I don’t think summer Gloria would work well for this event right?

[rancid perch]

she seems pretty low on damage

and low damage means needing to take more crazy strong hits

[thorny grove]

Yeah plus it takes forever to get her buffed if you do it with just her

[outer whale]

Summer Gloria DOES have secondary DPS options and air slash Max move could help out

but that's if she survives

[thorny grove]

She dosent have max moves

[outer whale]

I THOUGHT SHE....

[thorny grove]

Nope

[outer whale]

Summer units

[thorny grove]

Any Galar unit from like early half of the Galar units just dosent get em

[haughty haven]

From my team i use
Misty:
-May B: rain, acc debuff because Blizzard doesn’t have good hit rate. But cant end fight fast
-OG Misty A: SpDef Buff because all Misty move all Special, can heal and buff Evasion
-SS Kris S: Very good again Misty, SpDef Buff with rain, fix some pair, Heal all team because Blizzard Spam

[thorny grove]

Nessa Max Move would break this event wide open for her teams

[outer whale]

@onyx crystal we can do our team comp explanations to help out if that works for input.

it's not much, but it can give you an idea on how the battle would go and what role the unit's best usage is at. 🤷‍♂️

[thorny grove]

I think this idea works. And it gives me room to steal other’s ideas for Nessa score lmao

[tardy vector]

Archie’s attacks are mainly physical right?

[haughty haven]

All single target too

2 Side mon use single target move too

[onyx current]

I’ll be fine in this event right?

[thorny grove]

He also dosent buff crit at all so you can run double defense crunch LC with your supports

[haughty haven]

But after Sync and buff atk

He just one tap all your mon

So Endure is the best here

[stark eagle]

First run finished, 296K
I'll try to increase some teams later
All between 300-350

Nessa was painful with 2/5 ssKris

[stray dust]

Definitely

[outer whale]

For my team:
Misty:

• OG Misty A: (Pyuko's explanation)
• Variety Lyra S: Sp Def debuffer, can lower accuracy from muddy water. infinitely set rain through sync move.
• Archie A: Be aware of TM Def drops, Can cover electric if high enough Damage, will need Def/SpDef buffs.

Marlon:

• Psyduck Misty A: Safety tether on Sync, can also reliably heal units with MP refreshes.
• May B: Rain is a double edged sword here as rain can buff opponent's sync But can do SE Damage to Left side
• Cerena S: Her best usage, can drop acc on marlon which stops hard hitting attacks.

Lana:

• SSBlue C: Has defense buffs and can provide Safety Net to all allies, Cannot rely on Team fist Bump. Can confuse but hard to proc
• Barry D: Sidemon can buff Speed randomly, which makes it difficult to proc Hunter's Instinct alongside poor chance to lower speed.
• LySSandre B: Can burn opponents which can lower physical attacks slightly allowing tank to take more hits, VERY GAUGE HEAVY.

Nessa:

• SSKris B: Rain is double edged sword due to opponent sync. Can help with healing but need to risk rain dance for SMUN.
• SSMisty S: incredibly useful in lowering stats and evasion strats, can sync nuke easily.
• Eusine A: B Surf Flinch can help add more damage output, if at higher move levels, can debuff which makes it easier to do damage

Archie:

• ** Lana S**: Best place for her, can deal SE Damage on Sharpedo, and can lower water damage on all opponents. Can use Endurance, Immune to Def drops
• Hilbert A: Defensive tank that can handle physical attacks. Can use Endurance, Immune to Def drops.
• Kris A: Sync Nuker with Physical damage. can utilize endurance

@onyx crystal @haughty haven please feel free to change and whatnot, but this was my experience.

[primal shadow]

First clear, avg +350

[rapid pebble]

Bruh why ya got all those ex water types?

[haughty haven]

This team look crazy

[worn bronze]

you can get the medal after the event. i would suggest going with lower parameters to get a taste of team comps and then reset and get higher

[stark eagle]

Entei, Moltres

[haughty haven]

If play more will pass 300.000 easy

[outer whale]

hopefully that helps?

[primal shadow]

Any ideas? I'm kinda lazy to push lmao

[rapid pebble]

Struggled a lot but couldn't quite reach the mark anyone could lend me a hand on team composition?

[primal shadow]

I gotta use them somewhere right

[haughty haven]

You can put Chanpion Serena to VS Marlon. She is good there

Nessa with Gloria also very good VS Lana

[frosty glacier]

do all the teams except Misty priarily use physical attacks?

[haughty haven]

You can focus Nuke with Nessa, Gloria can debuff Speed and Def so Nessa can nuke easy

[stark eagle]

Is it worth swapping the confusion unit with a powerful one?

[thorny grove]

Really? Is Glojo’s nuke not as good as Nessa’s

[thorny grove]

If you aren’t clearing the stage then yes

[haughty haven]

Nessa Nuke stronger than Gloria

[thorny grove]

Huh neat. If I get Glojo I may nuke with her anyways since I’d prob ex her instead of Nessa

[stark eagle]

They're close, but you can go full dps with DGloria w CloseaCombat

[haughty haven]

Yeah

[thorny grove]

Oh actually that is a fair point.

Yeah Glojo is my OCD win condition. I got a little under 2 weeks to get her. I got this.

[primal shadow]

Hmm good points, if I swap CSerena with Nessa, I can free up Lana to swap with Marlon maybe?

[stark eagle]

Yeah ofc if the team fails, I meant comparing to a successful one
For example I did DGloria ssBlue Siebold at 350 and reached 62k
Wonder if swapping Siebold with Nessa would be better
Eventually can rely on ssBlue confusion but uhhh

[haughty haven]

Maybe you swap Siebold with Wake

He have confusion and 50% flinch

So Gloria can debuff even more before Sync

[stark eagle]

Already got wake on Marlon
#1128052735967764621 message
Out of confusers
My NCSerena is 1/5 so no confusion

[thorny grove]

I’d say swap for Nessa if you haven’t used her. Nessa and Glojo are bread and butter.
I did Blue confusion for Lana and it just comes down to WP spam after sync. Yeah you’ll go a few runs without it but once you get it you’re basically golden

[stark eagle]

Hmm yeah

[rain sierra]

If I get a glojo before the end of this event, maybe I'll push harder

[thorny grove]

Same here. If I get her I easily take out the Lana stage and get a higher score

[haughty haven]

After 41 reset, i finally beat Lana 440

[thorny grove]

Damn great job 343k

[haughty haven]

Misty 580
Marlon 550
Lana 440
Nessa 300 ( idk why cant higher, even 301 )
Archie 410
@onyx crystal

[stark eagle]

Considering you got no Archie n VLyra it's damn good

[thorny grove]

Do you guys think May can do good with Lana’s stage?

I can try to switch around my Marlon team to just be Cerena and have May be my dps on Lana.

[haughty haven]

I dont think she have enough dps

May dps and nuke with acc drop

But Lana have 2 acc buff

[thorny grove]

Damn. Alright May you’re banished to Marlon hell.

[stark eagle]

Alsp lana got Towering Force + Tough Cookie
To save some dmg you may want to drop def

[thorny grove]

Yeah, that’s why I used SST Red and jacked up the strength. But that can only take you so far when you’re dealing with X2 rather than X3

[stark eagle]

Btw i'm kinda curious on your Lana run, I had ssBlue tanking but he was getting erased once they gain condition nullification

[haughty haven]

You can see my old run

Similar but good Rng

[candid cobalt]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/14xhew9/250k_hs_event_almost_f2p_only_1_limited_pair/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Gah damn

[amber warren]

[thorny grove]

Jeez

[amber warren]

Oh no

[thorny grove]

Man is insane

[amber warren]

Time to check the rank again

[thorny grove]

I’ve been using him the whole time. I just reset until they got icebeam to start and or stat increase. It sucks but I used SS Misty or Elio to stop them from shredding through the hp bar. You wanna finish this stage up by second sync if not 3rd with really good plays to get to 3rd sync

[amber warren]

Rank 4200 last night -> 4700 today panic

[thorny grove]

What’s your score?

[amber warren]

People surely try hard

215k

dunno if it is enough to get the medal

[thorny grove]

Hmmm people have been thinking 200k may be the cutoff but if needed you could start to do a couple more runs at the end.

[round stone]

How do I do this?

[amber warren]

i can only increase maxium 10k

[candid cobalt]

I'm gonna go out on a wing and say that 215k should be enough if all the tryhards have already come outta the woods

But if there's a last min rush

[amber warren]

i go from 3000 to 4700 in 2 day

[candid cobalt]

Anyone from like 180k to 210k are gonna start panicking

[candid cobalt]

Yeesh

Reminds me of how I went from rank 782 to 2285 in one night

That was uh

Quite a shock

[haughty haven]

@stark eagle as you can see, flinch so my Hilbert dont die too early

[amber warren]

the event will end on 25/7

[haughty haven]

And more debuff

[candid cobalt]

12 more days of misery

[amber warren]

Down 500 rank per day so i will stay at rank 10200 on 24/7

[stark eagle]

I was going to say that 200k should ensure a master spot
But idk
10K players are a LOT

[amber warren]

[stark eagle]

Gloria prestige event was 6k right?

[candid cobalt]

In terms of the playerbase I'd say 10k isn't a bunch

[stark eagle]

But 10k having 200k is dedication

[candid cobalt]

Mmm true

[amber warren]

10k whale

[round stone]

Any tips or specific battles?

idk if the pins are outdated or not

[candid cobalt]

Something I'd recommend is to first see which water types you have

And from there see which damage dealers are more suited to each battles based on the passives they have

E.g. Misty sets Hail on entry and has Blizzard so you wanna try and replace that with Rain

So someone like May for example

[stark eagle]

Pins are fine
I used #1128052735967764621 message
And this
#1128052735967764621 message

Strenght around 300 will grant you a good score around 50k for each match if you keep 3 water units, inflict one confusion and have one Main Character

[candid cobalt]

Also you don't have to inflict confusion if you can't

Just having an MC in each battle with a couple confusions is good enough

[stark eagle]

Yeah, skip confusion if too hard ofc

[haughty haven]

Challenge: Put confusion
Misty:

[brave yoke]

Inflicting confusion on one unit or all three will get you the points?

[candid cobalt]

Just one unit

[maiden canopy]

You mean 1 enemy?

[round stone]

Uhhh idk what the recommended difficulty level should be

[candid cobalt]

I recommend 200 strength first

[unreal crest]

anything above 1

[candid cobalt]

Then afterwards see which battles were easier for you

[slate sphinx]

2

[stark eagle]

Oh I see, totally different tactic
DGloria was my only flincher so have to adapt and run flinch+ dps
Also i have mgr ls bcs of gauntlet solos, rip 20% dmg

[stray dust]

So 250k is now near f2p

[stark eagle]

I think not

Maybe if we exploit more

[white sierra]

Nah, I think 150k is the f2p range

I only able to do 208

[maiden canopy]

Does anyone have a full 5/5 team?

Of the best water units

[slate sphinx]

Cyi Wang

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmm, besides him

[white sierra]

I think it depends on your box

[brave yoke]

Wait, do we know Cyi's rank in the event?

[stray dust]

Scroll up theres a Reddit post

It seems to be rng heavy tho

[maiden canopy]

Well, Cyi is player rank 156

Actually, it could be 157 now

All I know is that Cyi will put out the latest unit's 5/5

[tranquil blaze]

Could I just grind 1 stage to get all the rewards? Or do I have to grind all the stages?

[stark eagle]

They have almost all their units EX and many at lvl150
It greatly depends on how long they've been playing poma
I mean, i've seen ppl having May below 3/5 even if they're not new players

[stark eagle]

No, you have to face all the stages

You can reset each single stage to get a better score

Your final score is just the sum of all 5 stages

[grand perch]

So do we know any unit that particularly hard counters a stage? I recall DGloria countering Lana

[stark eagle]

Archie Misty

[thorny grove]

Damn I got Kris on daily. Wrong water MC game

[tiny ore]

kris isn't terrible for this w/ ex tbh

[thorny grove]

Yeah. I mean I have her 5/5

[tiny ore]

Tho idk if I'd consider a striker ex to be accessible

[thorny grove]

All Gen pool I do. I was hoping for Glojo since I have Lys and I needed a unit to beat Lana better since I restored to SST Red

[tiny ore]

Used her vs archie

[stark eagle]

She did good on Archie for me

[tiny ore]

She's actually able to live a sync bc of her relative bulk

[thorny grove]

I used SS Grims because a few people were mentioning using him against Archie. I EX’ed him and eh.

I could ex another but idk.

[stark eagle]

Rip grimshark

[tiny ore]

His nuke is kinda disappointing lol

[candid cobalt]

Grimsley does ok but Kris is better

[thorny grove]

I at least love the outfit. Was one I considered many times due to that reason.

[tiny ore]

Needs grid expansion desperately

[thorny grove]

Yeah. I mean hey who knows once he gets grid expansion he may be way more worth it in comparison to Kris.

[tiny ore]

Give him staggering on his liquidation

he desperately needs it

[candid cobalt]

Also no one uses his TM

[thorny grove]

Yeah. The fact that he loses his flinch kinda dumb

[candid cobalt]

It's just a wasted slot tbh

[tiny ore]

It isn't that bad if you can immediately heal him back up

Like I used him w/ ex swimsuit misty

[candid cobalt]

It doesn't have that much value tho

[tiny ore]

has lots fo value if you can't afford a crit buffer

[thorny grove]

Yeah. If they have him like SE^ or maybe his endurance and heal up from Kimono, then he’d be great

[tiny ore]

Like not all of us have ss kris for crit

[candid cobalt]

I mean

There's hilbert

Hop

[thorny grove]

That’s what I did

[candid cobalt]

A few others

[tiny ore]

Used ss blue and hilbert already

[haughty haven]

Why use ss kris for crit

[thorny grove]

Hilbert and Lana. Buffing was weird for that stage.

[haughty haven]

She need like 4 turn (with sync)

[tiny ore]

Plus in LG you often can't afford to budget hop for him

When you're going for 100+ wins crit buffs are too valuable to waste on ssgrims

[thorny grove]

True

I just get bored with LG. Idk a lot of them are so specific and it just gets tedious to lose after 7 syncs but you just barley missed the small window to start a new attack before they do and you die for it.

I think my furthest was 80 and after that time I just stuck to the 10-11 needed for rewards

[tiny ore]

I'm aiming to ex everything so LG is pretty good for me

Plus it's bragging rights

[thorny grove]

Fair enough. I do the monthly bundle stuff so I’m good on 5* tickets when I need em. I usually just do 15 tickets and 5 voucher tickets per unit.

[stark eagle]

If only the high score got a pattern like LG instead random actions would love it even more

[tiny ore]

very glad I got almost all of my units ex for this event

[thorny grove]

Nice

Rn I’m at a little over 1/3 done with ex

[tiny ore]

there's def gonna be doing it for the other types eventually

I've got smth like 5 more 5* to ex

[thorny grove]

I can see fire dragon or psychic next

[slate sphinx]

EXing supports was worth it for water type event

[stark eagle]

If one every 3 months, 4 types/year

[thorny grove]

Yeah that’s not bad. And tbh if they do the master badge again for top 10k then it can be turned into gems for those who got it already.

[tiny ore]

idk if we'll get gems

more like PUs

[thorny grove]

Gives us a reason to go for higher ranks

Maybe. I really only see 5* ones tho. If it’s 4 or 3 then there would kinda be no point in going for it again

[tiny ore]

I remember when they released candy as prestige event reward

[thorny grove]

Maybe a gen pool candy

For top 10k I can see it

[tiny ore]

i still have the generic 3* candy

[thorny grove]

I have so many. I wish we could use them to make 4* candies at the very least because it’s absurd

[tiny ore]

huh it's gone

idk if i used it or if they removed it at some point

[thorny grove]

I have 47 support, 41 tech, and 17 strike.
And then for 4* I have 3 support, 2 tech, and 43 strike. Like please start to give us gen pool candies for 3&4 at the very least

5* I have 5 strike, 7 gen, and 1 support. Like it’s so imballanced lol

[tiny ore]

No I mean this one

Was only ever released during prestige I think

[thorny grove]

Ah that one. I used that long ago

[tiny ore]

I had one at some point

[thorny grove]

Yeah it was. I had that and a 4* one

I was a couple thousand off from getting top score. I used so many gems to get 1/5 Gloria and burned so much on stamina every day to try to get it.

[tiny ore]

RIP i only used the natural stamina

Bc I didn't have gloria and wouldn't be able to compete w/ whales

pretty sure I still managed to get A or B somehow

[thorny grove]

Oh right citrine got a question about your ex method. You gring the LG for the exchange tickets. How do you spread them? Like put 5 into every unit and once you’re done you give another set of 5 to another set of characters until that’s done?

[tiny ore]

used to do 15 PUs / 5 tix

Now I do 10/10 bc I'm working on the 4* supports too

so many lodge and bp supports to ex when I'm done w/ the 5*

Ofc the ratio also depends on the 5* PU supply that month

Bc some months are just dead months w/o good banners

[slate sphinx]

And next time 5* BP supports EX

[tiny ore]

I already have smth like 3 of those at 20/20 so I'm good

I did it for the latios solos

[thorny grove]

How bad is soloing LG? I did a few and it seemed like hell.

Do you just do a few each day and roll out as many as you can?

[tiny ore]

Depends on the solo. Some of them are pretty rng heavy but your run also ends really quickly bc moltres kicks your ass so it doesn't take as long. Some of them take 6 hours of fishing for evasion / potions. Some of them are pretty straightforward like the ssa cynthia solo for torn w/ minimum rng

[thorny grove]

What were you teams. I can help theory craft some with ya

[thorny grove]

Huh. Yeah idk maybe I’ll start to try em again. I just got so burnt out last time but I do wanna try to ex all my units.

[tiny ore]

can also just add a eggmon to make it easier

[tardy vector]

I’m stuck at 180k

Can I swap around anything?

To get a higher score

[tiny ore]

Kris-> archie

he's the easiest of the bunch I think

[red pendant]

hmm...okay, so...I am currently trying to figure out where exactly I am going wrong with my Lana team

[reef agate]

[red pendant]

I know that even with Marlon as a secondary support, Hilbert sadly dies way too quickly for my liking

[thorny grove]

What other water units do ya have?

But I’m stuck here

[reef agate]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[thorny grove]

Hmm… ok yeah switching the teams may be hard.

[red pendant]

But then again, I am sadly running out of options

Elio is already used in the Vs. Nessa Team

meaning that I literally ONLY have Hilbert and Marlon left

you might be able to make ex ss grims work to free up the adaman slot

[thorny grove]

Also you. Switch the Lana team with the Nessa team. And you may be able to switch around the units a bit too in order to get you 3/3 water on Marlon.

[tiny ore]

Or make lodge rosa work as a debuffer

Tbh Eusine can go where May is on your “Lana team” that should be fighting Nessa. And the May can be put to Marlon to try and get a win out of that.

[thorny grove]

Wh… Summer Gloria got you a 50k on that… that… MONSTER?!

[forest ferry]

Blue carried that run

[red pendant]

I can definitely tell you Hilbert is unable to survive the opponent's first sync simply because he takes too much damage on his way

even WITH Marlon buffing defenses

[thorny grove]

What demonic force did you sell your soul to…

[tiny ore]

I mean you don't have to but it's really good for higher scores

[forest ferry]

He meshes well with sgloria kit

[tardy vector]

So you’re suggesting eusine takes may spot with a lys? That will free up may for Marlon?

[forest ferry]

It's only 300 str

[red pendant]

well, I am just trying to get all the rewards

[forest ferry]

My other runs have way higher strength

[tiny ore]

fair enough

[thorny grove]

Wh 300? Ya know what screw this I’m exing Kris and redoing that stage with her… or Nessa. Whichever one seems more likely to win.

[charred pier]

@onyx crystal

• Lana 300str
• Malon 500str
• Rest are 450str

[thorny grove]

I’m partly thinking Kris for the Strike Ex Nuke.

[tiny ore]

she's actually solid

[forest ferry]

Guess I'll ping sages as well

[tiny ore]

Used ex kris w/ lodge rosa for def debuff

[thorny grove]

Ok yeah that right there just confirmed me using Kris.

I was thinking her or Nessa. Still trying to figure it out, because Rosa’s debuff is more garunteed, but Nessa’s is aoe.

[forest ferry]

@onyx crystal
Str:
+520
+510

Rosa is more consistent

[twin arrow]

If you reset, do you lose your rank?

[thorny grove]

No

[charred pier]

Nah

[forest ferry]

But Nessa can run higher str due to aoe

[twin arrow]

So we can still get medal?

[thorny grove]

As long as you do all 5 stages your highest score will not go away.

[charred pier]

Yeah

[twin arrow]

epic

[tiny ore]

gl

[thorny grove]

So long as you are in top 10k

[haughty haven]

Almost 400.000 point

Yeah I’d say 250k is kinda the “yeah you’re good” state to be at

[red pendant]

since he already had Vigilance on his grid

and ended up giving him Adrenaline

[thorny grove]

Who Hilbert?

[red pendant]

yeah

so might as well EX him now as well

[thorny grove]

One of his best ones is defense crunch 2

[slate sphinx]

Time to change Flameproof LS

[haughty haven]

I won’t be surprise if someone reach 400.000 tomorrow

[thorny grove]

Give him that and aqua tail DC2 and he can land double DC per hit.

[forest ferry]

Rank 1 is 380k already

[slate sphinx]

390

[forest ferry]

I wonder what shit they ran through for that

[thorny grove]

It’s great since he’s usually paired with attacking units anyways, same thing for Lana, she just works great with DC2 since she buffs the physical attack by 4 and just ranks and can WG spam stall.

[haughty haven]

No is 389k

[forest ferry]

400k by tmrw

80k average team score then

[thorny grove]

Whatever ethereal force gave you Summer Gloria clear, think that but the whole damn event.

[forest ferry]

I mean that run is only 300 str

[thorny grove]

Yeah I’m comfy with my 60k average.

[forest ferry]

And it's not like I had any other choice

My other water dps are worse

If I had 3/5 adaman I'd try better comps

[thorny grove]

No no I’m not saying it’s bad that you got that. I’m just saying that cranked up to 40

Dont we get support 4 candy from the event?

[forest ferry]

4 coins

[thorny grove]

Oh wait do you mean normal Adaman?

[forest ferry]

Yea

He can get 50k+ vs Marlon easily

[red pendant]

...okay, EXing Hilbert...kinda helped, but it's still not enough

turns out that even with an EX support sync buff AND Inertia, SS Grims simply doesn't deal enough damage

[thorny grove]

What’s your team for that?

Hilbert SS Grims and who? Because so far I don’t see any crit buff since your Hilbert is 1/5 correct?

[reef agate]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[charred pier]

I'm just an owner of an op phone charger 🤪

[reef agate]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[red pendant]

SS Grims/Hilbert/Marlon

Marlon is there to give Hilbert much needed extra defense

[thorny grove]

Ah my OCD can rest I have 1380 5* ticket vouchers now instead of 1379

[thorny grove]

Yeah Grims isn’t gonna do much damage without Crit. The only one who could is Hilbert but that’s locked in his grid.

Who else do you have Trin?

[candid cobalt]

Trin's got Hilbert at 5/5

So crit's all sorted out

[red pendant]

he already doesn't do much damage even WITH Crit

and Hilbert has Critical Eye on his TM

[thorny grove]

Oh my bad, I thought they had it at 1/5.

[red pendant]

no, Elio is 1/5

[thorny grove]

Here send what teams you’ve used so far and what units you’ve got left. You may be able to switch a character around here and there.

[red pendant]

wait, how do I get a list of the teams I used?

oh

nevermind

found it

[candid cobalt]

Have you done all the battles yet?

[haughty haven]

Maybe try flinch to help tank

[red pendant]

not yet, but the Reset menu does the trick, too

[candid cobalt]

Ah nice nice

[haughty haven]

My Lana team must try to flinch to keep Hilbert survive

[candid cobalt]

Ooh I see something

Swap May out from the first team

There's no need for 2 rain setters against Misty

[thorny grove]

Oh yeah you don’t need may and Archie. Archie can kinda swamp that stage by himself as long as he has the defense to boot

Do you have a strike candy? If you do then you can make a dangerous Thunder grid to easy sweep.

[red pendant]

I...technically do have a Strike Candy, but I'd rather save it for someone else

[thorny grove]

Ok. Thunder set May be a bit harder since you don’t have raging rain 5, but it could still work.

[red pendant]

who do I replace May with in that team then?

[thorny grove]

Uh quick question, why do you have both Lana and Mistyfuck on the same team?

[candid cobalt]

Lmao mistype

[red pendant]

because I couldn't beat Archie otherwise

[thorny grove]

Omg yeah lmao

What units do ya got?

[red pendant]

hell, even with both of them, it took me many MANY retries and a lowering of the strength increase

[candid cobalt]

Lana helps but you do need a crit buffer

[forest ferry]

Kris doesn't need crit buffer

She has crit focus

[haughty haven]

Archie not EX have poor SpA

[forest ferry]

Archie and Kris both not ex

[candid cobalt]

Oh right she does

[haughty haven]

May help Archie with theme skill and Master Passive

[thorny grove]

Yeah, cris focus plus the TM raising speed just sets up nicely, that one is kinda ok without it.

[forest ferry]

Did you farm for gear btw?

[red pendant]

sorta

I have Bracelet and Pin maxed out

[forest ferry]

Wdym sorta...

[candid cobalt]

Gear doesn't make that big of a difference does it?

[red pendant]

Bandana is still at Level 12, though

[forest ferry]

More atk

[candid cobalt]

I used my max ice gear for this so

[forest ferry]

Well in his case it would

Coz his dps aren't ex

[candid cobalt]

Right

[forest ferry]

Losing 40 atk already big enuff

[red pendant]

...you mean 40 Sp. Atk, right?

Bandana is the Sp. Atk one

[forest ferry]

Your Kris isn't EXd either

[red pendant]

...but we're talking about my Archie team?

[forest ferry]

EX gives 40 stat

[thorny grove]

You could try Elio for quick buffs or maybe Barry for small heals and freeze, plus speed debuff to make the enemy slower.

[red pendant]

as in Archie/May

the team I use against Misty

[haughty haven]

Archie benefit stat so much

Because he has dog shit SpA

[red pendant]

...man, I just EX'd Hilbert, though

[forest ferry]

Archie has like <280 spl atk without ex

[thorny grove]

Oh exing gives 40 stat? Like you powerboost to 20/20 and then ex brings another +40?

[red pendant]

I really do NOT want to EX a second sync pair just for the High Score Attack

[forest ferry]

No, I meant the tickets

[red pendant]

no, it's the tickets that are the problem

[haughty haven]

Archie with May is good to fit him

[forest ferry]

You say that for every event

[red pendant]

I have plenty of Champ Spirits

[haughty haven]

They are Hoenn

[forest ferry]

You never ex stuff

And complain abt difficulty

[haughty haven]

So May boost his Master Passive

Do you Max theme skill?

[red pendant]

yeah, because EXing stuff requires me to spend and , which I only have a limited amount of

[thorny grove]

Oh yeah they’re great together don’t get me wrong, but for this event every character use matters

[red pendant]

yeah

[sterile locust]

How strong are your opponents?

[red pendant]

at least the relevant ones, I do

so in case of Archie, he has Water and Hoenn maxed out

[thorny grove]

I mean that’s the name of gatcha games. You grind up, get stronger and spend resources on those you know you need or love to use to get through the game more. Exing is crucial in masters at this point.

[haughty haven]

Depend how much str you set

[red pendant]

...but I am trying to essentially P2W this

since I will never spend my real money on Paid Gems

[haughty haven]

Like first day i set to 1000 str and get one hit

[red pendant]

not even those bundles

I was told that even buying those one-time bundles would end up enabling me to continue to spend more and more and more money

and thus, create a gambling addiction

which I am trying to avoid

[thorny grove]

You don’t have to. I was F2P for 3 years and got a bunch of EX’ed units.

I uh… I wouldn’t say you buy one thing and you’re gonna spiral into gambling addiction or constantly pouring money into the game. but if that’s what you believe then I won’t stop ya.

[red pendant]

I have a strength increase of either 190 or 200

[thorny grove]

I do have one question for you in terms of the event.

[red pendant]

I mean, a friend of mine suffered from exactly that

[thorny grove]

What is your goals for it? Do you want to reach the top 10k and get the master badge? Or do you just want all the rewards from the list?

[candid cobalt]

It depends on the person

[red pendant]

I just want all the rewards from the list

[candid cobalt]

If you're strong willed enough or you don't like spending money

[thorny grove]

Ok if you just want all the rewards that’s a lot easier to deal with.

[candid cobalt]

It's easy to avoid spending more than once

[red pendant]

...well, let me put it this way: I wasn't very strongwilled with Fire Emblem Heroes, a game where the summon currency costed pocket change, unlike PoMa

[candid cobalt]

Hmm right

Then ig not spending is the way to go

[red pendant]

okay, so first things first

who do I replace May with?

[thorny grove]

How much can you level up your units? Like getting Lodge Rosa to a good level? capping off Eusine and Archie to their current max levels, etc.

[red pendant]

when it comes to Archie, I can...technically cap him off at Level 150

problem is that I only have 41 certificates

[candid cobalt]

Level 140 is fine

[red pendant]

as for Eusine: I can only cap him off at Level 130 so far

and unlike Archie, Eusine actually is EX'd

Eusine is able to deal with the sides relatively fine, but Nessa herself takes very little damage

[candid cobalt]

Have you paired Eusine with a rain setter?

[red pendant]

[fallen reef]

i had to ex 3 new pairs for this

[red pendant]

not yet

[fallen reef]

the mode is made for older players with a more developed roster

[red pendant]

I actually haven't given Eusine a Lucky Skill yet either

[candid cobalt]

Wait what move level is your Eusine at?

[thorny grove]

Eusine is great for Nessa and Lana from what I’ve seen and experienced

[red pendant]

since I still can't decide between CS2 and WW3

[fallen reef]

so having to ex ppl for this should be kind of expected

[candid cobalt]

CS2 is good if you have him at 3/5

[thorny grove]

I’d say WW3 personally, but if you aren’t planning on putting him with a rain setter on the team then just go for CS2

[ornate turret]

I actually used these 3 for Lana but you probably have to ex both hilbert and grimsley, and you need to tank with Marlon, praying for mpr and enduring refresh it's not easy and also frustrating, might have to use someone else

[red pendant]

I have Eusine at 2/5

also, I forgot that I don't actually have a Strike Candy

so I can't even put Eusine OR Archie to 3/5

[candid cobalt]

Ah

Then give him WW3

If you have the cookies, that is

[red pendant]

good thing I still have 3 Guaranteed WW3 Lucky Cookies because I am running out of the Deluxe ones

well, 2 now because I just gave one to Eusine
