High Score

[cyan tusk]

Uh I wanna see it, bc you have done it without SSBlue so I can slap him somewhere else

[rain sierra]

Like, they can have Fire dps in OG Silver, but no, gotta get SS Red instead

[true sparrow]

being outdated doesn't mean bad, just that more effective units exist

which is a true statment

but the same goes for the other 2

[haughty haven]

The Video long than 70 minutes

[rain sierra]

Honestly, I think SS Blue aged better than the other two

[true sparrow]

that's what I said.

[spark storm]

And even without that water have a lot of great f2p pairs

[true sparrow]

19 water units without limited ones (aside from ssb)

[quasi bone]

They do wish other types got more

[rain sierra]

Still, it's gonna be hard to consider spotlights as actual f2p

Like, some poor players here don't even have 3/5 Lana

[cyan tusk]

They have a chance to release a bunch of monotype new bp units in a couple of months

[rain sierra]

Pull RNG can be awful at times

[cyan tusk]

We’ll see

[spark storm]

Kris, Barry, Misty...

[true sparrow]

and lana can work perfectly fine at 1/5

[cyan tusk]

||Watch us get lodge leaf and wartortle ||

[rain sierra]

But Kris is spotlight

[spark storm]

Well being f2p don't mean you never pull...

[haughty haven]

@cyan tusk

[true sparrow]

you're talking about this event, but what about the ice CS

[stray dust]

I'm a whale i brute forced it

[true sparrow]

I would rather use the water units off-type than nearly every ice unit on type

[spark storm]

They can't base the content on what someone playing since a week would have anyway

And for f2p playing since more time this is definitely doable

[rain sierra]

I offtyped with 2 non-ice team for that one

But hey, I didn't get demerits for doing that

[spark storm]

I'm f2p, not really day 1 (missed 6 month or so) and I'm currently top 50 so 🤷

[true sparrow]

and you can do the same here, you can pick strong electric or grass unit and pair with water units to beat misty or marlon

[spark storm]

Sst red moment

[cyan tusk]

That’s really nice!

[quasi bone]

nice started 6 months after beginning and at 267k

[rain sierra]

Maybe they could have given us something to promote using the actual type pairs. Even 1.5x stat will be helpful

[cyan tusk]

I should be thinking on how to rearrange the teams but not bad at all

Bc if I free my SSBlue I can slap him with sslysandre

But hey crasher wake moment now lmao

[spark storm]

That would also mean even harder to offtype so...

[haughty haven]

Yeah, i just need that god damn gloden fish confusion, and it took me more than 1 hour to finish

I need confusion because if that golden fish get hit in confusion

[cyan tusk]

Or I can try to improve my score by keeping the same run but cutting the octillery as you did so I can get more strength

[haughty haven]

So i can flinch her at the end

[rain sierra]

Damn, didn't expect to be able to sneak in 3 flinches

[cyan tusk]

Bc SSBlue survives post sync so I have a free sync move by all those endurances

[haughty haven]

But this run not good

[rain sierra]

Nah, the difficulty will just be the same. But at least give some bonus to use the actual type

[haughty haven]

I have to use TM because miss input

[haughty haven]

Yes SS Blue is so much Better

[rain sierra]

Still, it gave me a good info. Initially I thought you can only sneak in 2 flinches top

[haughty haven]

Yeah but is very hard to timing

I know i can flinch 3 time if have more time

[carmine cedar]

234057 -> 236622

[haughty haven]

So i grid that Sync will not Ko that octopus

[carmine cedar]

Retried with Marlon 300

Any more and idk if I can do it

[quasi bone]

You can push Greninja more

[rain sierra]

Speaking of Greninja, do you guys lump the rebuffs on center or toss them to sides?

[carmine cedar]

I just lump it on center imo

16:00 to 17:00 my time (45 min ago to 15 from now) seems peak hour for EN PoMa

[forest panther]

I mean technically you're not forced to... there is no strength multiplier, just points. So as Runner said you can have your main damage on-type and surround with water for points. 180k points is max rewards that's not too farfetched, there is no point going higher if you don't really like the event.
Look at One-Type special stadium, it forces you to either dig deep in one-type or go off-type, it's up to you at the end.

[quasi bone]

Not sure about the top players but once on each sides and rest middle

[forest panther]

Personally I toss the first one on the mid, then the second one a side to finish it off smoother after center dies. 2 on mids is a bit overkill imo

[stray dust]

Yeah that's what I should've done

Or if your sides got debuff huge on spdef u can lump on center imo

Just adapt

[forest panther]

Yeah it kinda depends on the debuffs you're getting

I went to pick a lot of strength and try to debuff as much middle offensively to prepare for their sync and upcoming rotations

[carmine cedar]

Greninja can rebuff but I thought it's only 2 times?

[forest panther]

so I didn't need to toss much rebuff on them, actually could even have done one side each but yeah just depends on the rolls I don't think there is strict better plan than other

It's only 2 times yes

When I say debuffs I mean the stats debuff for WS

[quasi bone]

misread ye rebuff is one middle and right

[forest panther]

not the rebuff thing

[carmine cedar]

I see...

[rain sierra]

It's understandable. Just a letter away

[forest panther]

Honestly if you bring a solid defensive core around here you can pretty much mix in your WS left/right/mid and rebuff where you want

[rain sierra]

Yeah, I meant the rebuff

[quasi bone]

Not sure why I saw debuff lol

[forest panther]

as long as you take your time and finish off mid with a last sync and have the sides somewhat softened up so it doesn't get too hard finishing them

[stray dust]

Yeah marlon is less punishing because of that compared to lana

[quasi bone]

my middle sync usually was like 24k

[stray dust]

If your main defense buff is spdef it's also better to take down the left first imo

[forest panther]

Yeah most player run a mix of Elio/Swimsuit Misty/Marlon with C!Serena Vs Marlon

[stray dust]

Those rock slides are dumb

[rain sierra]

Lana would be much easier, if I had Glojo

[forest panther]

Only 1/5 so she didn't perform as much but I reckon 3/5 just poops on her yeah

only annoying thing is making your tank survive

[quasi bone]

without healing is tough

[rain sierra]

Razor Shell > Hydro Pump

[forest panther]

Adaman feels nice cause you can protect the Hydropump/Liquidation of left side and then with Endure you're normally good to survive until they sync

[rain sierra]

A combo that never fails to end most tanks

[forest panther]

Or just like some people do, fish for flinch I guess

but eh.. annoying 😅

[carmine cedar]

can I fish you for fire type

[quasi bone]

for a fire high score yes

[carmine cedar]

... It was supposed to be a joke cuz Spark's pfp looks kinda like fire Pikachu

[quasi bone]

fire Pikachu was originally a thing 😳

it was found in the old game files of gen one I think

[haughty haven]

@onyx crystal
Misty 580
Marlon 620

@glacial helm would you be willing to stay near the 10k Rank for Science?

[onyx crystal]

added

[sour fable]

234k is 4.2k rank??? Wth

[onyx crystal]

<t:1689433980:D> Point Celing Change

Top 10: 372,084 -> 389,349 (+17,265)
**Top 50 **: 338,343 -> 345,756 (+7,413)
Top 100: 322,725 -> 332,298 (+9,573)

Rank 10,000 is near 200,000 as of <t:1689400260:R>

[glacial helm]

I will try my best

Afaik I dropped out of master before I even went to bed last night

[quasi bone]

still under 600 from 10k

[worn bronze]

Gonna be out of the top 200 soon

I’m not staying in the top 300 by the end

[quasi bone]

top is over 400k quite crazy

so over 100k between 1-200

[worn bronze]

Top 2 separated by a bit over 100 points

[mortal timber]

I am going to try and get inside top 100, but I don't think it's gonna last even 30 minutes lol

I am 2 or 3k points away from it

[quasi bone]

not with the whales

[mortal timber]

If only I had cserena with me

[worn bronze]

Honesty you can’t fight against money lol

[quasi bone]

you got that without her

[mortal timber]

Yeah

[quasi bone]

what teams

[mortal timber]

328k points atm

[worn bronze]

For your own sanity

[magic sandal]

Join us dabbo

[mortal timber]

Lemme show you even tho I am resetting for Archie

[magic sandal]

Become the third staff member

[mortal timber]

For a 460 clear

[carmine cedar]

Is that ur rank or the closest one or...

The 9951 image i mean

[mortal timber]

Last team is hilbert kris dojo Gloria btw

Total score is 328k atm

[quasi bone]

cool wish I had Eusine and Lysandre

[mortal timber]

I got very lucky on those banners

Mostly Lysandre

[quasi bone]

I've not been lucky for a long time

this year has been bad

[mortal timber]

But yeah since I am close I wanna least touch top 100 once

[maiden canopy]

I'm surprised I'm still at the top 6k at 224,644 pts.

[worn bronze]

I summoned Eusine and used two strike candies on him. SS Lysandre maybe a couple more dailies before the event leaves but I rather save free gems for anni

[mortal timber]

I dunno if there is a way I can improve everything but

I am already satisfied with this tbh

I am pushing like crazy these days

[worn bronze]

All of the investments I did for this event I would have done in the future anyways

[mortal timber]

Makes sense, they do be all great units

Back to the Archie grind ig

[worn bronze]

Even swim misty. I really wanted an excuse to EX her unit and this pushed me to do it lol

[mortal timber]

I just love psyduck

Ex’ed her in a heartbeat

[quasi bone]

I always use all the pairs I did somewhere

[worn bronze]

Lana and Elio were EX as well, same with Kris. I hoard resources a lot so I have a lot of EX resources

[mortal timber]

i recently got both tate and liza so i am out of resources to ex lana

lmao

[quasi bone]

same had like 2k Stadium tickets

[mortal timber]

holy shit hahah

[quasi bone]

for conversion and still got over 1k

[mortal timber]

oh now the distance to top 100k is 4k points ugh

[maiden canopy]

Still wondering, who has full 5/5 teams even on limited units?

[mortal timber]

fudge i gotta hurry up

[worn bronze]

I had around 600, so I went 15 and 5 lol

[quasi bone]

probably some whale

[quasi bone]

I went 10/10

[mortal timber]

i think i have 3 and uh

lemme check the rest

[worn bronze]

Sometimes I don’t EX for a month

[mortal timber]

44

[worn bronze]

I also have like 80-90 EX units so I can be picky lol

[mortal timber]

alright, here i go again

archie pls let yourself get flinched left and right

xoxo

😂

[maiden canopy]

Man, JP players with the near-430k

[quasi bone]

This is with 101 ex

[maiden canopy]

Bet you that they can improve it all the way to 500k

[mortal timber]

ehhhh like if you can lend me some candies, ya know just saying

jk aside i gotta use one supp soon for bulu

3/5 soon tm

[quasi bone]

I should use them but haven't felt the need to

saving the tickets for hopefully a ticket pool update video

[worn bronze]

89 EX units

[quasi bone]

you need more 5* tickets

[mortal timber]

question

very copium question

lmao

[worn bronze]

I just save for another 6 weeks lol

[mortal timber]

what if i try to flinch with eggmon gyarados instead of hilbert gonna be a slow set up for kris but at least i have rain

jk i still think i need samurott here

[quasi bone]

I want to eventually make all pairs ex one day

but that will take forever

[worn bronze]

I utilized my eggmon Gyarados completely wrong in my run..I forgot to set rain. But I got a couple flinches so it still worked out lol

[mortal timber]

was it a no support run or smth?

cuz maybe with rain i can end stages pretty fast

you know what lemme try

ah wait lmfao archie has water moves

[worn bronze]

Marlon round with Champ Serena with SS Blue

[mortal timber]

ded

oh got it

[worn bronze]

Liquidation PTSD

[mortal timber]

yeah

was going to mention that

[worn bronze]

I think I was trying to set rain at the right moment for the nuke but I forgot

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmmm, should I EX Kris now with a ratio of 15 tickets to 5 PU tickets?

[outer whale]

bruh, top 100 is 330k now.

nah, i'm good.

[quasi bone]

how many 5* PU you got?

[stray dust]

Well that was fast

[sour fable]

Its easy to hit 320k if i had 3/5 d.gloria

[warm kayak]

dgloria didnt appear on a select even though she's already released for a year

[maiden canopy]

How many tech candy coins you have?

[onyx crystal]

Oh it was a joke please don’t let me impede your rank climbing

[sour fable]

4

[ornate turret]

with this roster you can do at least 20-30k more. I'm also in the 320k range with less, no dgloria no lys, 1/5 archie and 1/5 cerena

[sour fable]

Yeah i can do atleast 50 more strength on misty

[carmine cedar]

oh

I went 7 mins without dropping a rank. So I might call it for today

[sour fable]

Bcuz now my og may is free

I can use her to go brrr against misty along with archie

[warped hedge]

All my water units thus far (minus eggs)

[quasi bone]

you can get far with that

with some leveling/ex

[tranquil blaze]

That's all I've been doing but nothing is working

[rough forum]

Damn I've been kicked out of top 50

Rip

[warped hedge]

I was thinking Dojo Gloria, Kris and Nessa

[quasi bone]

they are nice options

[normal geyser]

I will retry Marlon since that one is on 399 power while the other is on 500. People went to get 400k is monsters

[rough forum]

With that team you can go even 600 str on Marlon kek

84k free

You also could optimize better your teams, SS Kris + Hilbert seems a waste

[spark storm]

with such a roaster you could clearly do 350k or even more

[normal geyser]

Actually on 500 my bad

My math fumbled after those retry

[ornate turret]

yeah like that's a whale roster just increase the str

400-500 shouldn't be a problem

[spark storm]

with that roaster i would do the 400k lol

[normal geyser]

I wish nobody see my post about my bad math before i fix it

[rough forum]

It's not that easy

But that roster is an easy 360-65k

[spark storm]

it's 600 str everywhere basically

[normal geyser]

I went 500 and do clutch because I am not that good

[rough forum]

380 if you optimize

[ornate turret]

yeah 400k is not easy but 350-370k is doable without too much rng

[rough forum]

350-70k players don't do that tho

[normal geyser]

I went to 500 alone and already pained

[rough forum]

Like, it's usually 600-600-550-500-500

For 370+k

[normal geyser]

People now days is monsters on PoMa

This is because I went candy otherwise I dont have enough sync level

[rough forum]

I got 343k with only 1 water limited 3/5 and 2 1/5s lol

[ornate turret]

but 300k is good enough you don't really have to waste more time

[rough forum]

^

[normal geyser]

Maybe I will try 600 then

[spark storm]

i am at 350k so i know lol

[normal geyser]

Sry for interception

[rough forum]

Bicio has 495 archie

[spark storm]

i have 500 👀

[rough forum]

Yeah but you bled elsewhere

[ornate turret]

if you aim for top 100 or something so people see you sure but if not just stop for your sanity

[rough forum]

There's a limit to how much spreading works

[spark storm]

coz i don't have so much spotlights

[normal geyser]

I went 600 on first try and my mind broke that time

Is Marlon with that setup enough for 600?

[spark storm]

i offtyped with sst red on one of them, else i would be at 370k probably

[rough forum]

550-580 on Marlon is pretty free

With cerena

[normal geyser]

Ok. 580 then

[rough forum]

My cerena is 1/5 tho

So with 3/5 600 should be free

[spark storm]

yh it is, especially with those supports

[austere holly]

Yoyo have you uploaded your builds?

[normal geyser]

My only problem is my skill level now

Problem being casual

[normal geyser]

Holy

[rough forum]

I dodged like 1 liquidation

And one water pulse

[normal geyser]

Thx for that motivation

[rough forum]

In whole stage

So it definitely could be 620-30 even with 1/5

If I cared to farm dodges

[normal geyser]

620?????

[spark storm]

@austere holly i modified some of them since that but most of them are here

[rough forum]

Yeah with dodge farms

[normal geyser]

Ok :x gonna try slowly

[rough forum]

I recommend gridding ssb on purpose for the fight

[austere holly]

Can you reply to that text? I found your teams but the build

[rough forum]

I can pass you my grids if you want

[normal geyser]

Gonna try my own for trial and error

[spark storm]

i replied to the build normally

#1128052735967764621 message

[rough forum]

I just Recommend wise entry 2 + smart cookie on ssb

[normal geyser]

Gonna sleep first. Goodbye guys and happy grinding?

[rough forum]

His hydro cannon

[normal geyser]

Alrighty

Thx

[rough forum]

Will do huge damage once mid is rebuffed

Gn

[rough forum]

I gave up on grinding more, I think I reached my roster limit, but thanks

[austere holly]

Thanks!!

[rough forum]

I could reach 350k but it's not worth hours

Like, this could be 600-620 but it ain't worth it

Too much dodging needed

And for this it's just not doable at more with these 3 without 150ing Nessa and Lana and since none is fave I'm not doing that kek

[lilac vine]

whats the grid/cookies on them? gonna try this

[cyan tusk]

You have my same roaster

You can easily claim higher

Just bump everything to 150, set lucky skills and go 🏄‍♂️

[spark storm]

and reset a lot

[cyan tusk]

The Rngods have no mercy

[rough forum]

Cs2 on cerena, vigilance on other two

Want ssb grid? The duck only needs TM and potion mpr and syncro healing

I only changed lucky skill on Lana

Put water guard on her over cs2

[lilac vine]

sure, that would be helpful. also, is there any specific tips on the stage? or just uga buga all the way

[tranquil blaze]

This is so frustrating, i feel like I can’t even get all the rewards…..

[rancid niche]

I’m doing Barry / Mistyduck / Archie (all EX) vs Misty. My Archie has ww3, but because he’s only setting rain on entry, should I change it to CS2?

[rain sierra]

@onyx crystal
Misty - 600
Marlon - 550
Lana - 400
Nessa - 400
Archie - 500

That's it for me. If I see another Drill Run, I'll get PTSD

[rough forum]

Reset if Marlon is not at -3 atk and accuracy pre first sync, rebuff once mid once the last side you wanna leave alive

Span hydro cannon once you get water pulse confusion

Debuff -6 atk and accuracy and at least -2 spatk

On mid

Kill mid before his third sync or he'll wipe you

Do it once one side is 1 hp and one is mostly debuffed

[cyan tusk]

Me but with ice fang

[rain sierra]

: No status and interference for me, but it's almost guaranteed for you!

But still, seeing that Drill Run taking down your SS Kris is soul-crushing

[rough forum]

• turn one bite is best start on Nessa
• Same bite flinch more than 60% of times, without any aggravation involved

[icy burrow]

Top 500 finally

[cyan tusk]

That’s why I always reset for the buff or the blizzard

[icy burrow]

Can probably push way more later

[cyan tusk]

I can throw a mini potion before sync coz it’s free

[lucid timber]

To beat lana should I ex grimsley or kris

[stark trail]

kris

kris is so much better than grimsley it's unreal

[onyx crystal]

[outer whale]

No. Do not change ww3.

[cyan tusk]

Kris has better dps and way better nuke

[lucid timber]

Ight

[onyx crystal]

and a better region
and a better character design
and a better voice actress
...okay I'll stop.

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-crystal-pkmn-totodile-pokemas-gif-25006770

[cyan tusk]

But ssgrimm is still waiting for his grid expansion

[unkempt lagoon]

I did an original run and got to 210k but now dropped to around 8300. Any recommendations for consistent teams and strengths to get to around 270kish? Not looking to go super crazy. I do have eggmons too I can build up if needed

[stark trail]

yeah grimsley's voice actress sucks

[onyx current]

What’s wrong with greg chun?

[onyx crystal]

Most are using:
Misty: Archie + sskris
Marlon: Serena + Elio/Flinch
Lana: Glojo/Nessa
Nessa: Sharpedo (since you don't have Eusine or Lysandre)
Archie: Kris + Lana

[shell oak]

the joke is actress as opposed to actor

grimsley's va is not an actress

[onyx current]

Oh

[unkempt lagoon]

Thank you

[onyx crystal]

Omg he's Muzan Kitbutsuji.

[cyan tusk]

I can also add
Misty is mainly special, sides may use physical moves
Marlon, nessa, lana, Archie are mainly physical

[atomic rain]

yes

[onyx crystal]

So I assume that these pairs have no grids since you're new?

Well if they're 100-120 you should be able to clear the stages, not sure you'll be able to do much higher than maybe +50 strength.

well based on your roster image it looks like you have exactly 15 water pairs

[rough forum]

Damn I dropped 20 places in a day

41-62

Bet by end of the event they'll even kick me out of 100

[onyx crystal]

for misty: barry (piplup/empoleon), misty (starmie), elio (poplio/primarina)
for marlon: marlon (carrcoasta), crasher wake (floatzel), may (mudkip/swampert)
for lana: hilbert (samurott), nessa (drednaw), ssblue (blastoise)
for nessa: ss Lysandre (volcanion), wallace (milotic), siebold (clawitzer)
for archie: kris (todotile/feraligatr), gloria dojo (urishifu), lana (araquanid)

I tried to be mindful of being gridless here, so Elio is gonna help out barry with buffing instead of trying to use a poor accuracy sleep.

Make sure to equip the water-type gear, and set your team tactics, so that your support is first, and the main damage is last.

the SS Lysandre team... is sort of scraping the bottom of the barrel. Basically its up to Lysandre to deal with that stage by himself. Set Wallace (Milotic) as the main target, and Clawitzer 2nd.

They should hold out. (hopefully)

you might get higher points by using that 2/5 Rose you have and increasing the difficulty, but just try that out for now and see how it goes

[rough forum]

Sages you good? This event monopolized your life I feel like

[onyx crystal]

I like keeping track of these things. It'll be good to glean back on what transpired, how many people try-harded, how high did people push etc.

||Better than answering basic stuff in #poma-questions ||

You can use any type you want, but you get less points.

Your oversall score is multiplied by the number of water-types in the team.

3 waters, is triple.

[rough forum]

Sometimes 2 waters +1 monster non water is better

Rare but it can happen

[onyx crystal]

Since you probably raised your Rose to a high level, you can get away with higher difficulty and get more points.

[rough forum]

Like, 120 points with 3 waters means you can get better score at 200 with 2 waters and a busted unit instead

200x2>120x3

[onyx crystal]

You're gonna have to play it by ear, and increase/decrease the difficulty to a level that you feel confident in clearing.
Since none of these units have grids, I'm not sure you'll be able to increase too much.

[rough forum]

If you lack water units having 2+1 is most likely better

I recommend one thing

Grabbing aggravation 1 on crasher wake grid

Costs basically no sync orbs

And gives you a HUGE advantage by flinching stage far more often

[earnest fulcrum]

Guys I'm just starting this score event, and I wanna know what's the Strength increase that I should go for knowing that I've been 10k-ing and 12k-ing CSMM every week

[rough forum]

You're better off showing your water limited pairs

[earnest fulcrum]

These are my water units

And this is the team and score I got from my first try

[rough forum]

Oh when using dojo gloria, SS lys and may you should easily do 350-400 strenght

[sour fable]

Should I aim for even higher and possibly suffer? I think this is fine. Rank 196

[sour fable]

I assume you have like 250k?

[earnest fulcrum]

So I can go for 350 using Archie ?

[rough forum]

You'll be fine

[sour fable]

Against?

[rough forum]

He's easily even 450-500 for misty stage

[earnest fulcrum]

oh let me do it then

[sour fable]

Hold on, using who?

You'll have to save units for other stages too

[earnest fulcrum]

Archie/Misty/SSMisty

maybe I should change SS Misty for May

[sour fable]

Oh ye they can get you 400+ easily

Against misty

[rough forum]

Nah may is fine elsewhere

[earnest fulcrum]

Against Lana I guess

[rough forum]

Maybe egg Blastoise + Archie + misty actually

[sour fable]

Using may against someone else is both good and bad for you depending on how you play. Bcuz even they'll use water attacks under rain

[earnest fulcrum]

yeah I should upgrade my eggmons, they're just collecting dust

[rough forum]

Lana doesn't use many water attacks

And uses lowish ACC moves

(has +2 ACC entry tho iirc)

[sour fable]

Muddy water helps

I just used haze from ss misty and her evas buffs helped

[rough forum]

I used haze for misty but I had sskris

See if these help you

[sour fable]

Interesting. Could you guide me through your lana run?

I only used 300 str against her bcuz i only have 1/5 d.gloria

I used elio + ss misty + d.gloria

[rough forum]

Mhhh swimsuit misty or vaporeon?

[sour fable]

Vaporeon

[rough forum]

I doubt you can make it with those 3 tbh

You need crit buffs

[sour fable]

The waters im missing are

Ss kris
Eusine
Lodge adaman

[rough forum]

To land a strong max knuckle

[earnest fulcrum]

I went for 450 strength and got washed by Misty lol

[sour fable]

I can get hilbert by resetting archie(i used hilbert + kris + wake)

[earnest fulcrum]

I used Misty/Archie/Blastoise

[rough forum]

And Hilbert saves you turns from clicking her TM for ark

Atk

[rough forum]

Used Lana somewhere else?

Lana + Kris is a fine core

Since Kris gives herself crit albeit slowly

[sour fable]

Yeah. Lana + c.serena + og misty against marlon with

420 str and
69000 points exactly

I can go higher but its memeable

[rough forum]

Mhhhhh

I think you can

[sour fable]

Sides are much more troublesome than the centre for me while using gloria. No dps multipliers makes it difficult to take them down fast

[rough forum]

• swap Lana with someone else (ssb? Or swimsuit misty?)
• swap Lana to hilbert for that as Archie clear
• swap Hilbert on the dojoglo stage

[rough forum]

Mhhh ssb was used on Nessa and duck on misty...

You have way better pair than me, you can definitely make something happen

[sour fable]

The problem is that i dont have ss kris or lodge adaman to tank hits

My support side suffers

[rough forum]

Sskris + may is basically my patch to not having Archie

Lole

[sour fable]

Maybe i should keep my roster as it is

Bcuz my tanking suffers as i don't have an extra support

[rough forum]

Archie + Blastoise + another support is not much weaker Vs misty than may + sskris + another support

[sour fable]

Yeah ik

I can go for 500 against misty with my current team

I only used 400 rn

[earnest fulcrum]

Do you guys think this team can do better ? Should I Ex Misty ?!

[sour fable]

Mine is a 4 star even now

[earnest fulcrum]

I went for 450 but I got killed after she synced

[sour fable]

You need def buffs

Her sync seems to be phys

[earnest fulcrum]

I suppose

[sour fable]

What strength is this?

[earnest fulcrum]

300 I think

[sour fable]

Then you wouldnt need an extra rain setter

I killed misty with 380 str without a secondary rain setter

[rough forum]

I thought Misty's sync was special

[sour fable]

Use someone else. Maybe lodge may(for the MC skill)

[rough forum]

Isn't it ice sync beam

[sour fable]

Well idk for sure bcuz i used suit misty and she buffs both sides

[rough forum]

I used only special Def and tanked fine

[sour fable]

Then how is she killing you when you spam sp.def buffs?

[earnest fulcrum]

She did, I went for 450 strength

Im going for Marlo now

[rough forum]

Misty has no ex

Not worth 20/20ing

[onyx crystal]

Well you should 20/20 her because she is best girl of this franchise.

[sour fable]

Now the serena simps will post bounty posters on you

[rough forum]

I actually prefer more mature women

Or just

Tsundere idiots in stupid outfits

[sour fable]

Then I'm pretty sure you are a fan of noelle from black clover

[onyx crystal]

[rough forum]

Nah I prefer Mimosa and Vanessa

There's a limit between tsun and just stupid

[earnest fulcrum]

So no water striker unit works against Marlo

[rough forum]

Ofc not

1/5th stats

[earnest fulcrum]

Maybe I should go for a non water striker

[mental blade]

Aren't there quite a few pretty strong water techs

May, Neo Serena, Dojo Gloria

Nessa, the Lodge Feraligatr

Lodge Dewott

[earnest fulcrum]

I’m saving May for Lana, and I don’t have Neo Serena

[long oyster]

Any striker you try will have -80% stats, why would picking a non water striker change anything

[earnest fulcrum]

Oh yeah I’m dumb

I thought it was only applied to water types

[long oyster]

Every striker

[mental blade]

May-- rather, rain in general-- is pretty risky in this event. The enemy has water moves too

[chilly flame]

Curious about that Marlon run

How’d the sides get handled

[mental blade]

I can imagine a way. Sleep-denial both sides in the first couple of rounds, and the Resilience might be gone by the time the boss is down-- so you can Sleep them again while Serena pummels them

[long oyster]

God DAMN Lana is a pain

[nova anchor]

#1100102557109588099 message

Can use misty duck as well on marlon spot.

Guys do we have video on lana clear using nessa, crusher, hilbert? Ty

[cunning shore]

Ask Runner, I don't think I see anyone with the same clear on that difficulty

I had same team with lower difficulty and.... I don't want to try again

[nova anchor]

This stage was cursed. jk I had a few runs today

Needs to setup def break fast but keeps buffing def, used physical def b4 sync

[unkempt lagoon]

Thanks!!! Top 500 now. Probably safe for the medal

[shell oak]

i'm pretty sure i'm gonna be fine with my current score but there's always that little part of me that's so anxious LMAO

i’m around the 3k area

[rain sierra]

I think it's better for me to list down the moves (M - Marlon, E - Elio, C - Cerena):

1. M - X SPDef All
2. C - Brutal Swing (Aim for Flabbergast proc)
3. E - Sing on Center (Need Center to queue an attack.)
   (If successful, the center will queue up a buff to replace the initial queue)
4. M - X SPDef All
5. C - TM
   (Center buff here)
6. M - X SPDef All
7. C - Water Shuriken
8. E - Sing on Right (Need Right to queue an attack)
   (If successful, the right will queue up a buff to replace the initial queue)
9. M - Rock Tomb
10. C - Water Shuriken
    (Right buff here)
11. E - Sync
12. M - Rock Tomb
13. C - Buddy move on Center
14. E - TM (Quadqueue this)
    (Center attack)
15. M - Rock Tomb
16. C - Water Shuriken
17. E - Sing on Left (Need Left to queue an attack)
    (If successful, the left will queue up a buff to replace the initial queue)
18. M - Rock Tomb
19. C - Water Shuriken
20. E - Sparkling Aria
    (Left buff here. By now, the center immunity wears off)
21. C - Sync on Center
22. M - Rock Tomb
23. E - Sparkling Aria
24. C - Buddy move on either side (Quadqueue this)

After the opponent first sync

1. M - Rock Tomb
2. E - Sparkling Aria
3. C - Water Shuriken
   (Center buff)
4. C - Water Shuriken
5. M - TM to draw attention
6. E - Sing on Center

In a sense, I emulated what's shown here with a little changes here and there #1128052735967764621 message

But yeah, you need the opponents to queue up an attack move for their first action. Easier said than done at times

Oh, regarding sides, you should dedicate the Water Shuriken on the side without Rebuff and use the third sync on it. Then you focus back on Center until he's removed

Oh, and as a side note, try to get Team Pinpoint Entry 1 on Marlon grid. It will save you a lot of headache from BUT IT FAILED!

It's surreal, but once I fought a Marlon with -6 on everything but evasion (Total 0). Guess what happened to the Sing

[blazing birch]

[nova anchor]

Trying grim, however ai keeps spamming def buff. Needs to pray for sp def spam instead + grim def buff on roll along coz first sync from dps almost no dmg.

[molten kayak]

Hey guys, any recommended team comp for this roster?

[nova anchor]

Hey man do you have video clear for your lana team? Ty

[nova anchor]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B4sI4jcaSJzKBZ4kZlXSAU9VOLMG7BUxXnr5eW8crn0/edit?usp=drivesdk

[magic sandal]

is lana physical or special I forget

like the stage

[sullen pier]

Lana is fully physical and the sides are mixed

[haughty haven]

I used this team and i dont know what i’m reading

[nova anchor]

[onyx crystal]

Lana has Ice Beam. Sides know 1 physical and 1 special move. And use special moves when KO'd.
Lana's sync is physical Ice.

[magic sandal]

[nova anchor]

Think I can clear if he spam sp def instead+timing on flinch

[onyx crystal]

You can just reset stages indivdually if you don't need to change team comps around. Glad I could help.

[onyx crystal]

Hi, have you taken a look at the pinned grading sheet?

Based on some of the top submitters, this looks like a solid core:
vs Misty: Archie, Barry, ssKris
vs Marlon: Serena, Elio, Adaman/Psyduck (tank)
vs Lana: Dojo Gloria, Nessa, Hilbert
vs Nessa: May (Swampert), ssMisty/May (Wailmer), ssBlue
vs Archie: Lana, Kris, Crasher Wake

[molten kayak]

Yep just visited it earlier and was about to create teams but this saves me a lot of time! Thank you so much for the suggested comps!!

[nova anchor]

Sages, does anyone clears lana using nessa comp besides runner?

[onyx crystal]

Nessa seems to be opted for only if they're shifting Gloria to another encounter.

[chilly flame]

@rain sierra I did it, ty

Misty: 420
Marlon: 550
Lana: 365
Nessa: 400
Archie: 460

[nova anchor]

using this grid, I drop cakewalk

[onyx crystal]

If you're using Nessa, best to avoid cakewalk in this event.

No time to set it up when you could be doing Razor Shells.

[nova anchor]

true

[chilly flame]

I don’t think I can push Lana at all anymore

I just don’t have the units

[nova anchor]

for hilbert em still rockin head start though lmao. does it matter if I go vigilance? coz I don't think him surviving first sync

[nova anchor]

you have gloria can push\

[chilly flame]

It depends on the strength actually

[chilly flame]

No Gloria, no eusine, no KriSS, no VLyra

[nova anchor]

#1128052735967764621 message

80k on 3/5 gloria though

[chilly flame]

Mine is 1/5

I got her 2 days ago lol

[onyx crystal]

perfect flinch rng at that.

[nova anchor]

gz

[onyx crystal]

I've reached the character limit of the pinned post. 🫠

[chilly flame]

So I have question

Today I got Lysandre to 5/5 via daily, and I see that at 5/5 he can lower attack when burned

What grid do I use with that

[nova anchor]

Discord should add threads on forum lol

[lone wraith]

and i oop

[chilly flame]

[nova anchor]

donate me some lysandre XD

[chilly flame]

No I need him plz he’s carrying tf outta me aside from Cerena

[lone wraith]

i guess this is why we wait out the gauge for power flux

[onyx crystal]

Maybe this?

what grid were you using?

[chilly flame]

Complete offense

[onyx crystal]

hmmm. So you were okay without MGR then?

I think I'd opt for consistency over Burn Boost Special 2

[chilly flame]

It was a little annoying since that’s actually how I lost a few of my earlier runs

[onyx crystal]

I forgot about Scorching Sync 9.

[chilly flame]

I was just about to ask about that

[onyx crystal]

i believe the HP node is better than +5 speed

[lone wraith]

ive crossed 60k

[onyx crystal]

not sure if 10 hp would make a difference in life or death

[chilly flame]

I’ll try that grid out, thanks for the help

[stray dust]

@chilly flame time for u to top me

[chilly flame]

I’m physically incapable

[chilly flame]

^

[chilly flame]

2nd attempt, worked out wonderfully

I can definitely push more for more but I didn’t think they’d die that fast

Thanks again

[frank maple]

Ok that's it I'm done. Had a 19200 against Archie but Kris did not crit and I never came close to doing it again. A lot of things has to go right.

I'm proud I managed to make it into the top 100. I expect I'll be knocked out by tomorrow.

I am satisfied with the event and my performance, I rest till the next one.

[onyx crystal]

Updated your ranking. congrats.

[chilly flame]

I’m about to drop another update because I moved way up

Misty: 420
Marlon: 550
Lana: 365
Nessa: 500
Archie: 460

Currently at 74

[magic sandal]

got to watch it happen live

[bright river]

the worst part about this event is the wait until it's over

[chilly flame]

Now I rest and do my dailies

[worn bronze]

Santos wow

80k!!!!!

[chilly flame]

Yea I was very nervous throughout that fight

Lot of RNG involved

[stray dust]

Not as bad as Lana

[chilly flame]

I don’t wanna talk about Lana

[rain sierra]

Nice, did my wall of text help?

[stray dust]

Sand toes is gaming with sink or swim

[chilly flame]

Sink or swim but it’s just sink

[chilly flame]

It helped me kill center

[rain sierra]

Guess this channel mutually agrees Lana is the worst stage

[silent urchin]

are those numbers for the strength adjustment?

[chilly flame]

The sides had me sweating puddles

[chilly flame]

Yes

[silent urchin]

Lana is horrible rofl

[silent urchin]

damnnn nice

[atomic rain]

im completely stone walled on this event

im at 80k after doing misty and lana but ive been trying marlon with no success for a while now

[mental blade]

I went to Lana with Lodge Adaman as the tank because he has defensive buffs
I learned too late that he's meant to lean on regen and first aid for his survivability, and those are meaningless against Lana
I did not have a good time

[chilly flame]

That’s good to know because I was about to try him against Lana

Good to know I won’t be having to do that

[atomic rain]

this is the extent of my water pairs

so if anyone can help…

i think i just have to reset

[silent urchin]

Santos, how did you even approach Nessa with that team

[atomic rain]

double supporting with ss b and hilbert was a mistake

[silent urchin]

like, isnt it impossibly hard to knock down damage

or is there smth I am missing on Volcanion's grid

[chilly flame]

It’s the complete opposite actually

The damage is so easy lmao

[silent urchin]

is there a grid ur running to make it easier

[mental blade]

My teams/scores if you all were curious

[silent urchin]

bc I just tried the same thing and got obliterated by sync

[atomic rain]

5/5 grid 💀

[chilly flame]

I use steam eruption on each of them to get them burned, then rain dance into Bydro pump

The rest is just spamming until sync

[silent urchin]

interesting

do u even sync with SS Blue then

[chilly flame]

Yea

[mental blade]

First sync probably

[chilly flame]

Blue is the first to sync

[rain sierra]

That's why I still think SS Blue is the best tank there

[silent urchin]

figured

[mental blade]

So Bydro Pump has EX Support behind it

[chilly flame]

Then Lysandre for the rest

Yes

[rain sierra]

Then again, even he cannot take too much Razor Shell and Hydro Pump

[chilly flame]

I’m not like letharist so I can’t remember my queues verbatim

[mental blade]

On my winning run, I got godly RNG

[chilly flame]

But I can probably record a higher run to show ya

Tho that’ll have to be tmr

[mental blade]

Confused the right side, which hurt itself instead of Adaman
Lana used a weak attack and then a TM
Left used a TM
When the boss was about to sync, Adaman still had most of his HP. Protect blocked half of it, leaving him with a sliver. Boss uses post-sync TM, and the next hit bounced off Endurance

So I had plenty of turns to finish them off

[silent urchin]

Santos, did you rush the middle for damage or did you kill the sides first

or is 5/5 just that important

bc I still am unable to beat it

[mental blade]

I used LySSandre 1/5 against Nessa and won

Granted I did have SS Kris

[silent urchin]

even with the +500 strength?

[mental blade]

+500? Wut? I only used +200

Is this a +500 challenge or are you going for a top rank, or?

[silent urchin]

well ya that's obviously much easier lol

[silent urchin]

trying to get my runs to be even better little by little

Prestige Master is a little side bonus

[rain sierra]

I did 400 on Nessa with 1/5 Lysandre. He just cannot output damage that fast

[chilly flame]

Aside from the initial Steam eruptions I did to get them all burned, I just targeted center

At 5/5 he lowers their attack and special defense

[rain sierra]

I saved up B Move near the end tho since I want it to deal as much damage as possible

[mental blade]

Might make sense.

[rain sierra]

While they advocate you to use Burn against Nessa, I'll be blunt - It doesn't do much

[chilly flame]

So to answer this, technically yes for doing it at my strength lvl

[bright river]

This

[rain sierra]

5/5 Lysandre can debuff Attack and SpDef, so it's all about spamming Heat Wave to cut them down

[chilly flame]

Lol I never once pressed heat wave

[rain sierra]

Really? I'd expect to use aoe so you spread those debuffs

[chilly flame]

Never even thought about that actually

I turned my brain off and went “steam eruption in rain go brr”

[bright river]

Trying to use Nessa vs Lana wasn't working out for me. Don't know what I did wrong. Probably it was the lack of useful support

[rain sierra]

In my first draft, I went with SS Blue - Lodge Rosa - Nessa

Lodge Rosa debuffs Def while Nessa debuffs Speed

[bright river]

Points?

[rain sierra]

300. I didn't bother to go past that point

[bright river]

I tried this at first but couldn't get SS Blue to stay alive long enough

[rain sierra]

Unfortunately it's really a rng fest. You want the opponents to queue up TM early on

[chilly flame]

Staying alive is like the one thing he’s good at

[rain sierra]

I suppose you can try to flinch with Lodge Rosa, but don't bank on it

[bright river]

No healing...

[rain sierra]

Main objective : Survive

[bright river]

I used SS Blue against Nessa instead

With May

As far as Lana goes, I just used SST Red with 2 water supports

[rain sierra]

The other considerable tanks are either Hilbert and Lodge Adaman, but they don't really appreciate the early Razor Shell and Hydro Pump too

[rancid perch]

just cracked 330k

[bright river]

Yeah my Lodge Adaman wasn't 6ex

Still used him though

[rancid perch]

I'm probably completely done with marlon, had to use sst red for him

[normal geyser]

Ok. So I try this. Guess it really works...

[bright river]

Only thing that matters is getting and staying in the top 10k

[rain sierra]

Isn't it top 10k?

[rancid perch]

did it at 690 strength which is the limit for how long electric terrain can last, still scored about 800 points less than blaziken did but oh well

yeah the medal is 10k

[bright river]

Mobile keyboard

[rain sierra]

I think anything above 200k should be the safe zone

This game doesn't have that many tryhards

[normal geyser]

Some people just want to break their limit

Or just like that FGO Challenge battle

They are just M enough for harder difficulty

[bright river]

I could probably increase the strength of my Lana clear team to get slightly more points, but I don't need to right now.

[rain sierra]

Not to mention Lana is a pain to clear

[bright river]

I never really used Nessa much

[normal geyser]

Nessa is good with Gloria dojo

But for some reason I dont want to use it

Why I prefer Kris than her lol

[bright river]

I find her kind hard to use

[normal geyser]

Too many setup I guess

[rancid perch]

I like the mode because I get to actually play the game, it's pretty low on content otherwise

[bright river]

Needs a million debuffs and the necessary buffs

[rancid perch]

I'm convinced nessa is just not good for this event unless she's paired with dojo gloria

[bright river]

This

[normal geyser]

Should I try 21k strength with this?

[bright river]

I saw a ton of teams use Nessa with Dojo Gloria

[rancid perch]

but it's possible dedicating a second support to glojo as a solo damage dealer could be better

[normal geyser]

They synergy well with defense and speed debuff

[silent urchin]

but why tho when marlon exists

[bright river]

I used him elsewhere

[silent urchin]

no i meant why not use dojo gloria vs marlon

since strikers are bad

[normal geyser]

Phys I guess better for Lana and archie

[rancid perch]

gloria is pretty good against lana

[normal geyser]

And the number of Phys

[rancid perch]

she can super effective max nuke and close combat lana's cloyster at the end

[silent urchin]

wait ya i meant lana not marlon

since dojo gloria is physical attack

[normal geyser]

Some choose her for Archie I guess?

[bright river]

Meanwhile I didn't even use SS Grimsley despite having him 6ex

[normal geyser]

But perhaps Kris is good enough on Archie?

I still thinking which team

I use this but I guess I messed up the team on wrong opp?

[bright river]

I should actually try using him

[nova anchor]

really hard to push on 400 on lana using this team. first sync k.o crasher at 5*s. at 300 he can survive though. I don't think I'm going to spend for him

I wonder

closest I can get at 300

[normal geyser]

Maybe tanker problem?

[bright river]

Nvm. I have no one left to buff crit

[rancid perch]

I realized I could definitely push strength on the archie battle higher, pretty quickly got a clear with 50 more strength but I think I can do even better than that

for now tho, I've cracked top 100

[silent urchin]

wait how many people get the master medal?

and around how much would I need for the score to get the medal

roughly*

[bright river]

At least 10k + ties

[silent urchin]

oh damn

how many points would u say I need rn to get to top 10k

[rancid perch]

haven't seen an update in a while but it looked like the top 10k threshold was going past 200k points

[nova anchor]

ye, usually hilbert was dead after first sync and crasher was at 30%hp + if fails to flinch center after physical dmg reduc = restart

[haughty haven]

Vs Lana at 400 str Hilbert EX level 150 can survive

The point is Lana need Ice Beam 2 times

Which very rare

If str 500

[bright river]

I remember seeing an image somewhere that high 190k was still in Master, but that score is probably in Ultra 1 now.

[haughty haven]

Hilbert just only can tank 1 icebeam to survive Lana Sync

[cyan tusk]

Try to stockpile as many sync buffs as you can before throwing Bhydro pump, not using it right after 6EX sync buff

So that you can stock debuffs on the middle

I’d use this strategy if I had a 5/5 SSLys

[nova anchor]

he can survive sync?

should I used blue instead

[rancid perch]

even without debuffs, if you can only use b hydro pump once you should save it until you get the most sync buffs you can anyway

[haughty haven]

Yes, but very rare

My Hilbert even survive Lana at 500 str

[nova anchor]

I can't even clear 300

[haughty haven]

But 550 he cant

[nova anchor]

wait my hilbert on head start

can I borrow yours

[nova anchor]

oh and I managed to land confusion on this run but that ai clutch me

welp

nessa dps after first sync if restrained is nice though.

[haughty haven]

He survived

Lucky confusion keep Hilbert survived

[rancid perch]

what strength is that

[nova anchor]

can show hilbert grid?

500

[haughty haven]

500

[nova anchor]

his rng was giga chad

[haughty haven]

But after 500

He cant survive anymore

1 Ice Beam + Sync = Hilbert faint

[nova anchor]

change my build to this

[rancid perch]

oh yeah I did lana at 500 too

but I still scored like 5k less than you

[haughty haven]

No no

This is old run

My Lana is 560 now

[rancid perch]

oh that would explain it

so you finish it even with hilbert dying to sync?

[haughty haven]

Yes

[chilly flame]

[haughty haven]

But i must flinch lana 3 times

And lucky confusion

[rancid perch]

I think I didn't use up gloria's endurance on my run

[haughty haven]

#1100102557109588099 message

[chilly flame]

@silent urchin I couldn’t sleep cuz I was thinking about it, I have the video if you’re still curious about how I did it

[rancid perch]

idk about 560 but I could maybe squeeze out a few more points there still

[chilly flame]

Just got a higher score a few min ago

[cyan tusk]

Watch out for the rain timing bc she might be abusing it too

[chilly flame]

Yea I learned that the hard way a long time ago

[cyan tusk]

I might be getting at least 70K if I had 5/5 SSLys. I’d run him with lodge adaman and whoever can setup rain

[chilly flame]

I’m using SSB and Tech Blastoise

[chilly flame]

Here it is

550

[livid tusk]

Back in the Top 5k for now, this is probably the best I can do; might look at making Misty harder along with Nessa but not confident in that

Think Archie and Lana have to stay where they are and so does Marlon

Unfortunately I do not have Dojoria

[nova anchor]

He survives but not enough def buff rip

I thought I will clear it on reset luck lmao

[nova anchor]

Think I can clear it if I can survive hilbert on first sync, I almost got a perfect run + confusion flinch timing

hilbert/crasher missing def break was a pain

[cyan tusk]

I do think you can claim even a couple of points more. Which sync grid are you running on SSBlue?

[sour fable]

You can easily hit 280k with these teams

And thats a low ball

[blazing birch]

is Nessa programmed to always use earthquake at some specific point of the battle or is just rng?

[cyan tusk]

Just RNG

[blazing birch]

Ok...

[cyan tusk]

If you are lucky she might just be using bite or razor shell

[blazing birch]

I might attempt the legendary 1k strength then

[cyan tusk]

Same for misty and her blizzards that could be ice beams

[rough forum]

Yeah it's a series of cointosses

It's the reason Lana isn't that good in that stage

[blazing birch]

Grimsley: Did someone say COINTOSSES?!

[rough forum]

The difference with misty is that ice beam is weak af

Meanwhile Nessa spams a 2shot ST move vs a 3 shot AoE move

[blazing birch]

Unironically Nessa the only stage that has 1k strength possible

[rough forum]

I never seen her use bite past sync

[rough forum]

I kinda doubt it with 3x water

Because while I saw people doing 850

[blazing birch]

Obviously Not 3x water

[rough forum]

With triple water

I don't see the way to optimise that 850*3

Past 880-900

[blazing birch]

Just the rats + something that survives and make the rats survive a sync

And get 0 points in the process

[cyan tusk]

Rats + ssmina with b protect?

Or SSACynthia moment

[oblique zenith]

Anyone have a step-by-step setup for Archie?

Using Kris Lana and Hilbert

i used Kris Lana Wake myself rather than Hilbert

you shouldn't need Hilbert in that team as Kris is fully self sustainable

and Lana EX can stay up for 3 Kris syncs

[oblique zenith]

Oh?

[ocean warren]

mhmm

as long as Lana and Kris are both EX that is

as Kris' EX nuke is quite comfortable for high scoring that stage if that's what you're looking for

Lana on her end has endurance and catalytic cure 1 on top of hitting for super effective for sustain

[haughty haven]

You dont need Lana EX unless 400str

[ocean warren]

yes

Kris just wants to TM twice (juggle with Mega Kick) and X Attack once to set herself up

[oblique zenith]

I am trying 400

I keep dying before Archie 2nd sync

[haughty haven]

You can try flinch to help Lana tank

[blazing birch]

NoOoOoOoOo

[oblique zenith]

Do I just keep aiming for Archie in the middle?

No need to touch sides?

[ocean warren]

for 400 i used Kris Lana and Wake
you'll want to confuse one side with water pulse and keep your waterfall to flinch Archie after his X Attack All after his sync (he does sync > x attack > aqua jet/liquidation)

first sync Lana, all the other syncs Kris

sides will die to Kris anyway

[oblique zenith]

I’ll try that Dreamy

[haughty haven]

If you willing to Reset, i can help you with flinch

[oblique zenith]

Tyty

I did Reset

[ocean warren]

it's primordial that you also quadqueue properly and flinch that specific moment

because

if all goes well, Lana shouldn't even proc endure by the time Archie has sync'd

[haughty haven]

If your Lana dont Ex

You miss so much dps

[ocean warren]

but after Archie has sync'd he goes ballistic, so you wanna get that flinch in for extra time on your Lana's survival and Kris' syncs as they're vital

[haughty haven]

You can try rain or second dps

I used Tech Gyara for flinch and rain

[oblique zenith]

Trying Dreamy’s setup for now

Will do yours too Pyk

[ocean warren]

fair warning, it took me quite a few resets

[oblique zenith]

[ocean warren]

as lots of rng involved in these high STR runs

[haughty haven]

Dreamy far easy to do than me

Because set rain is very dangerous

[ocean warren]

(400)

[haughty haven]

Wake get bonus point for confusion too

[oblique zenith]

How do I set up Kris again?

[ocean warren]

TM > X Attack > Mega Kick > TM > Mega Kick > Mega Kick > Sync

[oblique zenith]

Aighttt

[ocean warren]

to recap the guidelines :

• Wake mainly spams his TMs and tries to proc confusion/flinch on sides until Archie syncs after which you'll want to flinch him
• Lana has endure and catalytic cure 1, serves as battery for gauge too, mainly spams bug move for sustain after TM once at start
• Lana syncs first time, then only Kris, quadqueue is prefered to keep the momentum, you'll need 3 total Kris syncs to clear the stage
• Lana should die around after Kris' second sync at which point it's a survival game to get that last Kris sync

Does lodge rosa nuke a lil harder than nessa's relentless build?

[ocean warren]

i don't think so

Rosa has no multiplier on grid for off type ~~ and her ATK is lower~~

erratum her atk is not lower (why)

[oblique zenith]

[nova anchor]

I see thanks dreamy

[ocean warren]

i actually went and doublechecked out of curiosity, here are the results below

wait

no lol sorry i'm very dumb it's early

i forgot to add the restrain on the calcs

now Nessa's dmg skyrocketed

https://i.imgur.com/sf0JXBt.png
https://i.imgur.com/t3q82CG.png

[haughty haven]

But Nessa debuff def so slow

[ocean warren]

it is but ripple effect so good tho

[cyan tusk]

I’d also add that wake can start waterfalling the opponents at least once for opponent at the beginning
By doing so, Archie will attack just once before sync because resilience will stop when enemy sync countdown is at -2 and you can queue another waterfall

This allows you to buy enough time for an additional sync cycle

Yes it’s more RNG heavy

Crasher can handle confusion turn 3 and spam his tms in late game

[ocean warren]

thanks for the input

[cyan tusk]

You are welcome, I managed 72K with that

Always important that wake is the last one in the sequence of your order attack

Also, defense crush 2 on both Lana and wake is really helpful to fatten lana’a dps and heal

Kris can handle the sides with her sync but the middle is way tougher

Defense drops with mitigation -5 will help both mega kick and leech life dps

||C’mon guys come and help me at the top of the chart I can’t be the only not jp whale over there ||

[haughty haven]

[mortal timber]

I gotchu till I can resist, f2p top 100 😂

Should be around 84th place tho now

[stray dust]

I'm at top 50 cheering for u

[cyan tusk]

Or at least link me any Twitter/whatever social where they explain their strategies so I can keep learning

[haughty haven]

I dont think top 1-5 want to explain their strategies

[cyan tusk]

And than there’s me who I literally wrote down what to do and how

[ocean warren]

it's good templates tbf for those below that wanna try getting higher so we thank you for your services

[cyan tusk]

It’s not like we are getting any additional reward for staying 1 rather than 50 or 100

[haughty haven]

Dont worry, i’m at top 23 now and cheering for you Bicio

[cyan tusk]

Once you are up to first 100 you have the medal secured so no need to do not try to help and share

[mortal timber]

I forgot everything, I have no clue how can I even improve things rn hahaha, Archie stage yesterday gave me an headache

[haughty haven]

I believe you will stay top 10 until event end

[cyan tusk]

You are all very welcome

[oblique zenith]

[cyan tusk]

I still have the 5/5 SSLysandre trigger to pull

[oblique zenith]

I am so lost with the setup i don’t even know who attacks first

[haughty haven]

And i have 0/5 SS Lysandre

[molten kayak]

managed to get top 107 (so close) thank u so much @onyx crystal for the help! although i had to change a few things, the suggested comps really helped!! might try for a better score if i still have time

[ocean warren]

very nice

[cyan tusk]

And your score is really impressive even without one of the top tier water unit

[stray dust]

I know I can improved by at least 20k but the time sink just isn't worth

[ocean warren]

same i left it at 293k and can't be bothered tbh, i don't have the roster nor will nor time (unless my 10k is threatened by the end lol)
but i enjoy watching the rush strats

[cyan tusk]

Once you are in the safe zone there’s no incentive to stress anymore

[haughty haven]

Just Bully Marlon for more point

[stray dust]

Yeah exactly

I could bully marlon for 8k more points I suppose

[cyan tusk]

In my situation I don’t see any possible improvement except for the Lana stage

That’s why I’m actually here rn lol

[haughty haven]

My Marlon is 620 str

You still can improve Marlon

[cyan tusk]

Mmmh

[haughty haven]

You know

My team such

[cyan tusk]

I’ll be casually trying to improve it, thx 😊

[cyan tusk]

Oh you used marlon

[haughty haven]

Yes

[cyan tusk]

While I have Swimmisty

[haughty haven]

And you have pair better than Marlon

[cyan tusk]

Throwing potions anywhere lmao

[normal geyser]

Dang that stronk

[cyan tusk]

Ok, but I’m done with misty Lana and Archie

Especially Archie

[stray dust]

Psyduck with elio can tank water pulse for days

[cyan tusk]

I hate that shark

[normal geyser]

I retry now stuck with Lana

[cyan tusk]

Bc I can also have luck with rng

[normal geyser]

Lacking Phys atk is hard

[haughty haven]

I hope tomorrow i can Ex my Lana

But with my caculation

I will miss 1

[nova anchor]

I'm spending too much time clearing lana at 400 so I decided to clear it on 200

[haughty haven]

[nova anchor]

I'm 300k rnk 435 master

[haughty haven]

[nova anchor]
