High Score

[maiden canopy]

You can technically use anything against Lana, but you just can't heal

[atomic rain]

lodge silver and nessa seems like the easiest option

[rough forum]

@forest ferry I think I'd have to drop too much to clear with wake

Plus confusion resilience is a pain in the ass

[urban reef]

Yeah I know I just wanna know what would be best

[maiden canopy]

Lana has defense buff multipliers, so you need someone to debuff her defense stats

[urban reef]

She is physically weaker rather than Specially?

[maiden canopy]

She's damage neutral

But she hits harder when she has defense buffs

[urban reef]

[atomic rain]

she landed the blizzard

kms

[maiden canopy]

I'd prolly do Barry for sync nuking and Nessa for AoE defense debuff

[atomic rain]

if she lands a blizzard on archie pre sync the run dies

lmfao

[atomic rain]

barry special tho

[maiden canopy]

Lana is neutral

[atomic rain]

id use silver or rosa cuz they’re a bit easier on gauge

[forest ferry]

Ig lrosa dps still noticeably strong to be enuff to ditch wake

[atomic rain]

rosa has mga as well

[maiden canopy]

Also, how will the sides be handled?

[atomic rain]

BRO YOU ARE -2 IN RAIN

WHY ARE YOU STILL LANDING BLIZZARD

GOD I HATE THIS

[rough forum]

Yeah especially because her grid is very comfy for Lana specifically

[maiden canopy]

[urban reef]

Tanking issues

[atomic rain]

and my rain rain out

[rough forum]

• endurance
• Guaranteed -1 Def move with insult to injury
• a move with 0 gauge use for lategame gauge choking

[atomic rain]

im dying

[rough forum]

She's really insane, while wake has flinches, sure, but cannot survive as long and cannot ramp up Gloria's damagr

50% waterfall also seem to flinch way way less than 60% iron head

[atomic rain]

AUGHHH

I GOT 4 BLIZZARD DODGES THEN IT LANDS AND RAIN’S GONE

[forest ferry]

For my run I had to ditch lrosa for wake since he has better bulk to survive higher strength and confusion
So I thought it'd be same for dojo teams as well

[rough forum]

My Rosa and wake are 5* so I don't have much difference for tanking

Both took sameish % from first sync

Wake would need to clear 490 STR to not make the stage a loss

Vs my current 520 STR lodge Rosa clear

[forest ferry]

[round stone]

Can’t you literally replace SSBrendan with any other water Support?

[forest ferry]

Me can't wait to try cerena, Ramos, Shauna for grass event offtype team whenever it happens

[atomic rain]

its for the sake of fast buffs

also may probably just dies without the +4

[onyx crystal]

@true sparrow In your Nessa clear, are you only syncing with May and gridding Lyss for dps?

[shadow fulcrum]

update on this, can’t clear nessa or marlon

[forest ferry]

Did you try dropping strength when you couldn't do it?

[shadow fulcrum]

no, I will now, I was at 200

[true sparrow]

Ssb 1st, may 2nd, lysandre after that

[forest ferry]

Hmmm
It might be too low but ig let's see the final scores once you are done

Then we can tweak comps

[onyx crystal]

Did you go for hide and sync? Or did you opt for Power Reserves?

[atomic rain]

misty

stop

fucking

killing may

thanks

[atomic rain]

if you’re using may on misty oar1 is helpful to avoid blizzard rng

[stray dust]

How big of a diff is 5/5 lysandre

[atomic rain]

she fucking paralyzed turn 1 again

i hate this shit

[maiden canopy]

It's almost like Misty has HE

[maiden canopy]

I've felt your pain

[atomic rain]

cept she doesnt

[true sparrow]

Huge

[atomic rain]

its the sides

[stray dust]

Yeah I thought so

[atomic rain]

and i have gotten frozen by ice beam before

[stray dust]

Hopefully u stay in 1st runner

[atomic rain]

-1 def against burned is a pretty big boost

it lets him ramp up dps

[stray dust]

It also allows more strength

[maiden canopy]

Runner still hasn't been dethroned (no idea why I want that)

[mortal timber]

you won't

trust me

i just know

[atomic rain]

ok if i get para’d i have to reset

gauge is too slow otherwise even with ft9

god this shit is ass

[shadow fulcrum]

what exactly is the strategy against marlon with this comp?

[forest ferry]

Nuke with SSred and spam blast burn

The supports themselves give most buffs

You just need to press TM once and dire hit 2x

[onyx crystal]

I hope he stays on top English REPRESENT

as I spell it wrong

[shadow fulcrum]

enemy sync destroys red immediately

[forest ferry]

Runner said he's redoing runs anyways

[onyx crystal]

<t:1690264740:R> remain

[forest ferry]

But red is not water weak

He should tank fine at low str

Oh yea
Just don't use his TM
Coz -1 def

You get +4 spl atk from elio anyways

[onyx crystal]

Mid-Day Update, Currently Rank 55

[shadow fulcrum]

there’s no way 😭 red dies during sync even at 100p

[round stone]

But triple water score multipler

[atomic rain]

if someone got 60k with that team its fine

[forest ferry]

Well I plan on resetting Marlon anyways
Lemme try with mine

[onyx crystal]

You could grab the +20 def node there and skip the Earth Power nodes.

[rain sierra]

Still no Glojo. Not gonna be spending real pulls on her

[true sparrow]

You can, yeah, in that one yoi got 1 energy left

[onyx crystal]

maybe that +20 def will save you by a sliver

[rough forum]

You can raise your Lana with lodge Rosa over wake imo

[forest ferry]

Oh wait
I am dumb

You can't use strikers vs Marlon

80% stat down

Use sssilver instead

[shadow fulcrum]

should i get someone with hail or grid him without it?

he has weathered warrior

[onyx crystal]

I don't think I'm going to torture myself vs Lana/Archie again. I'm going to settle for 380k.

[lime marlin]

at 234k putting me just above 8200 I hope that will hold

[rough forum]

Makes sense, I just think it's funny I did 520 Lana for only 3k more than you

[shadow fulcrum]

okay

[onyx crystal]

How does this work without flinch?

[rough forum]

Aggravation 1 Dojoglo:

I just paced iron head when needed between surging strike

[onyx crystal]

I'm trying to comprehend how you get to -6 at that pace.

I guess rosa is there to help with debuffing

[forest ferry]

You can increase strength on your low struggle teams now that you have an idea

[forest ferry]

Like see if another 10 strength works or not

[rough forum]

I could record my cycles I guess...

[carmine cedar]

Full 24 hours later

5467 -> 5959

Although it dropped more due to final day, it's still within my expectations

[light star]

i think if you are atleast 30k difference you should be fine

seems like 220k is where the limit is for most people

[carmine cedar]

I'm thinking 230k-235k is final minimum

I just can't see myself dropping 4000 ranks in a really short period

Might just be the american competiting in last 6 hours and maybe a few japanese, most of them will have work tomorrow

[light star]

the bottom 1k ish is prob where people start fighting

[carmine cedar]

seems like it

I was expecting bottom 2.5k but it's good

[rough forum]

@onyx crystal something like this

(I got unlucky at the end and lost by one turn because it queued on seaking over octillery, sadge)

It took me an hour to perfect the cycle for perfect timed syncs and doing just enough debuffing

Ofc it involves quite a lot of resetting

But in the end it was the only way to get 450 STR with 2)5 Dojoglo and 520 wyth 3/5

[mellow thistle]

How did Cerena survive Marlons sync but not Misty

[rough forum]

Duck? It has kinda shit defences

[mellow thistle]

Starmie

I don't have the duck unfortunately

[gleaming raven]

idt starmies defenses are too great either, she's more based around evasion

[rough forum]

Yea

Her hp and Def combo is especially mid iirc

[forest ferry]

Improved cerena run

Str:
460
720
670
490
495

@onyx crystal update when you are up

[rough forum]

Damn more STR than me

[forest ferry]

I think even more strength is possible

[rough forum]

With sleep yeah most likely

I doubt I can go past 710

[forest ferry]

I fixed the ugly number, so I won't be doing any more runs

[rough forum]

My 700 basically killed at the last turn before third sync

[forest ferry]

It's crazy how I am still 100k away from rank 1

720 Marlon with cerena still felt easier than 495 str with Nessa vs Archie

[atomic rain]

this fucking game

may got frozen and then i couldnt queue rain dance then i forgot i took off shower sync from archie for raging rain 5 thunder

may also missed her sync crit

only got it once in the 4 times i synced with her

[onyx crystal]

Playing without Action Order Display.

I will look into this if I have time today.

[onyx crystal]

Last Update?

[forest ferry]

Most likely

Ending up with 71 powerups would suck

[onyx crystal]

I'm going to be getting a lot of pings today

[rough forum]

Yeah sorry I'm on android

I don't want more lag

[onyx crystal]

it causes lag

[rough forum]

It does when you add other fx

Like hail

And big FX moves like dragon pulse or multihit moves

One time my phone froze for 4 whole seconds because a stage used bullet seed against my irida

[onyx crystal]

It should just be text though and some flat images.

[rough forum]

Yeah but the animation of the text moving adds a slight of strain

Tbfh I don't really like that thing either because it distracts me from the animations

Feels like extra useless UI

[stray dust]

Idk what to say anymore

[cyan tusk]

Im not giving up top 5 without fighting

[forest ferry]

800 strength?

[tender herald]

Does it have room for improvement? all 250 str except Archive is 390

[atomic rain]

please evolve may

[forest ferry]

And elio

And totodile

And oshawatt

......

[atomic rain]

yeah you can get a higher score

[forest ferry]

[onyx crystal]

Nah don't give up cute factor

[atomic rain]

its called evolving your shit

[mighty geyser]

Wow

[tender herald]

I want to keep cute factor lol

[forest ferry]

Good

[atomic rain]

i mean your teams work

[forest ferry]

Then gamble on double pokefair banner

[atomic rain]

but better stats would help push higher str

[forest ferry]

Easiest way to improve score

[atomic rain]

no the easiest way is evolve

but “cuteness”

[forest ferry]

But beating puberty is hard for Pokemon too

[mighty geyser]

You lose your rank if you reset right?

[forest ferry]

No

[onyx crystal]

hilbert goes from 279 def to 290 def based on the evo

[forest ferry]

Your highest total is counted

[mighty geyser]

Cool, thanks!

[atomic rain]

the 21 def matters

trust

[onyx crystal]

i'm aware, but for 250k points it doesn't matter

[forest ferry]

I just realised
The pre evos have different sync names

Means sync tiles from grid is useless

[onyx crystal]

yep

[forest ferry]

[atomic rain]

yeah for striker it matters more

[chilly flame]

Stop I don’t wanna fight him anymore

[atomic rain]

cuz it wont apply to the generic syncs they have as unevolved mons

[chilly flame]

Please don’t make me

[forest ferry]

Yes
Fight him more

[tender herald]

no wonder why I feel that Kris' sync is weaker than others

[stray dust]

Stop playing go touch grass

There's barely 12hrs left lol

[onyx crystal]

what were the Lyss and and Blue grids? I'm wondering if I should be dropping Team Triage Tank 2.

[cunning shore]

Lyss burn everything down

[onyx crystal]

I could go like this:

[true sparrow]

That was my for lyss

[cunning shore]

^

[true sparrow]

I used 3 SE with Lysandre and then TM right after first sync

[onyx crystal]

so the healing from TFB2 and TTT2 are important

i guess it helps with gauge too?

[cunning shore]

You want them, you might be eating random eqs

[true sparrow]

They minimize resetting since that's only source of healing for lyss

[cunning shore]

Assuming your team lyss may Ssblue

[true sparrow]

After first sync if you use Lys Tm and May Rain dance as 2nd move, you should be able to sync with May in rain and it fades before their sync

[rugged drum]

1200 ranks from leaving 10k, might need a last minute strength boost

[cunning shore]

Check pins, many solid teams and some with details. Also Sages' doc

[true sparrow]

I keep Lys B Move to after third sync

[cunning shore]

Maximum dmg

[carmine cedar]

How many points you have?

[rugged drum]

233277

Might do another boost for marlon

[cunning shore]

Who's your sync dmg vs misty?

[rugged drum]

Barry

[cunning shore]

You can possibly go up

[rugged drum]

I do may when the sides are down though

[cunning shore]

With that team

[forest ferry]

Kris where?

Coz she's defo better than ssgrim or siebad

[cunning shore]

Siebad

[rugged drum]

Kris nowhere

[cunning shore]

Didn't pull kris? 🥲

[forest ferry]

Even 2/5 Kris more helpful 1/5 suk tho

[onyx crystal]

[rugged drum]

Can you tell me more?

[onyx crystal]

[chilly flame]

Dw I’m not gonna try anymore

I’ve already thrown in the towel

[stray dust]

Join me top 100

[cunning shore]

How much faith do you have in RNGesus

[onyx crystal]

600
610
450
650
510

Rank 42 ||the meaning of Life ||

[rugged drum]

Enough to try

[cunning shore]

Your best friend will be -6 accuracy evade hax
And +6 evasion thanks to misty so RNGesus decides if you get hit or not

[forest ferry]

Misty and Marlon can defo go higher 👀

Join 400k club

[cunning shore]

I been doing marlon for 2 days now

I would be

420k

If I GET THE RNG

[rugged drum]

Who gets the +6 evasion if I have to choose?

[cunning shore]

-6 accuracy yet still never misses a single move. Rngesus ain't happy with me

[cunning shore]

I would say your main damage dealer

[forest ferry]

If you rush +6 evasion
You won't be able to heal anyone

[onyx crystal]

I ain't exing Elio, so not sure I could climb that much higher.

[atomic rain]

i swear to god 500 str misty is possible

[forest ferry]

I could do 80k with cerena before I realised I didn't grid powerplay on her

[atomic rain]

but the blizzard rng has always fucked me over right before i win

[forest ferry]

[mortal timber]

👏

[forest ferry]

You can defo try it

[atomic rain]

literally latest attempt

[mortal timber]

wonderful

[atomic rain]

im so tilted

[forest ferry]

But rng

[atomic rain]

also if misty para’s its a reset

gauge is too slow

[forest ferry]

I didn't have much issues when running SsBrendan

[atomic rain]

no my issue is blizzard refusing to fucking miss

i can survive pre sync fine if she doesnt queue more than 1 blizzard and it actually lands on archie

[forest ferry]

Yea Archie is frail

[atomic rain]

basically reset cond is if she paras with dragon breath i get frozen by whatever the fuck archie gets hit by 3 blizzards pre sync and if they all die to a blizzard post sync

[forest ferry]

And suk TM

[atomic rain]

maybe i just stall to brendan sync

so i dont self debuff

[rancid perch]

what stage would you say has the most room for improvement

[forest ferry]

Ditch starmie for a dps if possible

[atomic rain]

archie probably dies

without starmie

he barely lives on +2 on 500

[forest ferry]

Oh yea
May is already used

Means no evasion hax

[atomic rain]

well

ss kris has barricade buddies

so hes at +4

instead of +2

[spark storm]

kriss gives +6 no problem

[rancid perch]

don't really have any dps left

[atomic rain]

oh mind bracing infliction lmfao

[spark storm]

4 from rain dance + baricade buddy just need one mpr to have 4 more

[mortal timber]

2/5 lysandre clear with 80k points like me

[atomic rain]

misty tm is another +2 so you dont even need mpr

[mortal timber]

wonderful stuff

[atomic rain]

starmie has +2 spdef and evasion targeted iirc

[spark storm]

30% mpr on 3tm is not big of rng tbh

[atomic rain]

im just saying though

you dont need mpr to max it out

[spark storm]

that's not worth losing a spot

[rancid perch]

didn't even need a confusion hit for mine

[mortal timber]

oh that's great to hear

guess i was in a more dangerous situation in terms of turns hahaha

[spark storm]

best 3rd spot for archie ss kris is basically may or eusine

[forest ferry]

I wonder if lodge may can be a copium option

Coz master passive

[mortal timber]

for misty?

[forest ferry]

Ye

[mortal timber]

if paired with archie can work

but i found more comfort with ex barry

[rancid perch]

don't have eusine, did score higher with may on previous runs but now she's the primary damage dealer for marlon

[forest ferry]

Oh yea Barry clears sides and Archie can thunder

[rancid perch]

I could try swapping may with barry

but my archie is only 1/5

[mortal timber]

ah rip then

unlucky for no 3/5

that raging rain 5 on thunder changes a lot actually

[forest ferry]

RR5 and SR4

Big boi damage

[rancid perch]

I wouldn't be opposed to pulling more on the double water banner, but I'm wondering if I can get to staying top 100 just by upping strength

[lone trout]

It looks like I rage quit at just the right score

[mighty geyser]

How did you do Archie and Lana?

[rugged drum]

Archie I think I double synced with grimsley and then hit whatever was left with a couple normal moves

[mighty geyser]

I guess i should also ask what str increase people have been doing? Is it sometimes better to go lower?

I keep sticking with 300, but maybe 2xx might be better for some teams?

[rugged drum]

Lana I spammed aura sphere with siebold after I confused once cuz it’s super effective

[spark storm]

that's kinda up to you and your teams, basically yh start with 250-300 on everyone then when you find it too hard you decrease a bit, and when you feel that it's too easy you increase a bit. Then keep doing that until you reach your max

[maiden canopy]

Well, Runner is still #1, well ok then

[cyan tusk]

720 nessa

But now I’ll be falling on Lana lol

[spark storm]

go do 720 too

[cyan tusk]

Bc that’s the roaster im left with

[spark storm]

just make marlon proc 10 times endurance ez

[atomic rain]

HOW

DO YOU GET

3 CRITS WITH BLIZZARD AT 0 CRIT

WHAT THE ACTUAL SHIT

seriously archie got crit like

[cyan tusk]

Or just avoid everything with on the run 2 adaman

[atomic rain]

30 seconds into the run with blizzard fucking gave me a heart attack then sides crit ss brendan and may

and the fucking

dewgong

was -5

i actually hate this

[visual kayak]

any help with nessa I feel like I must be doing it wrong same team

[spark storm]

That's probably even worse lmao

[cyan tusk]

But I do have the 6EX support bonus

[spark storm]

You have only 11h to do it then don't loose time

[cyan tusk]

Guess I’m switching to slippery hilbert

[rancid perch]

at the strength range I did it at, it requires resetting for perfect flinch luck at least at the beginning

[spark storm]

@onyx crystal
Misty 720
Marlon 700
Lana 700
Nessa 380
Archie 500

Finally reached 370k

[maiden canopy]

What STR again is the equivalent of 5.8k pts. in MM?

[visual kayak]

my blastoise is 5/5 and lysandre is 3/5

[rancid perch]

if you're just shooting for all rewards or even top 10k, you can go lower in strength and more lenient

[young stone]

For end of the rewards score you have to use all water teams?

And how low the strenght

[atomic rain]

i actually fucking cant right now misty is being ridiculously unfriendly

[spark storm]

If you consider only stats then 1000 str is a bit higher iirc

But cs have a lot of other boost too, so 5.8k mm is definitely much harder

[outer whale]

everyone.... i'm no longer top 500....

I AM THE 500.

[rancid perch]

if you're flinch locking, you want to order your moves like:

1. blue does something
2. lyssandre does something
3. gyarados waterfall
   (intended enemy attack, but if you got the flinch this gets skipped)
   now you could have blue and lys queue another move before the waterfall goes off, so you get 5 sync countdown before the enemy does their first action

but now you don't queue with gyarados immediately, you queue a 6th and 7th action with the other two, then waterfall the enemy on the right
if that flinches as well, you can freely queue with blue and lyssandre again (only need 1 more sync countdown tho, but if gauge allows it might as well get extra chip)

now you're able to sync with blastoise and all the enemy has done is use two X items
and you just go from there, making sure when you're going for a flinch, you queue the waterfall last in that rotation

[odd basalt]

Wait, why is Cakewalk bad vs Nessa again?

[rancid perch]

she buffs her speed too much

[spark storm]

Coz 2 x speed all

Need good rng to have a run where sides don't buff speed

[odd basalt]

ic, but only sides do that
could pray for RNGjesus

[carmine cedar]

10 hours and 45 min remains

[spark storm]

And that mean no flinch too

[carmine cedar]

I don't think I'm going to drop 3900 ranks in 10 hours am I

[spark storm]

But yh it's still doable ofc, just harder

[carmine cedar]

Ugh, anxiety

I hate being european

I can't know if I'll still be in by the time I wake up

The reset is at 8 am for me

[cyan tusk]

I can improve Lana but I’m tired

Ok 81K Lana I’m done lmao

[visual kayak]

are you killing the sides first for this one? or dropping HP on sides so the hydro pump wipes all

[cyan tusk]

@onyx crystal https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1131333081870118982 updated

[lucid timber]

Holy

Big number

[sour fable]

So this is what it feels like having all the units huh

[rancid perch]

I just steam erupted each side once to get them burned, then focused the rest on the middle
after lyssandre's 3rd sync, the middle was down and the sides were in range of one steam eruption I believe, but at a higher move level it might work out differently

[sour fable]

Save your bmove till your 3rd sync then

You need to use his bmove at the right time

And +3 smun steam eruption hits so hard

[mortal timber]

with higher move you have even more power on both nuke and dmg

[rancid perch]

I used the b move after his 2nd sync

[mortal timber]

scorching sync 9 and furious brain

[rancid perch]

yeah I'm not sure if that could lead to mid dying super early and then sides don't go down easily

[mortal timber]

still with 2/5 560 is doable

i did 564 for understanding where the next bulk increase started

[visual kayak]

This fixed it - the flinch info was helpful but I am well aware of the flinch stuff, I was not properly using the hydro pump after sync to just 1 shot everything

[rancid perch]

if you only get one buddy move, best to use it when you have the most sync buffs possible

[visual kayak]

I couldn't make it to 3 syncs I was trying the +countdown timer on the 4 cost blastoise move and it was failing

Changed some things around and just went for it on 2nd

[rough forum]

Propulsion is hardly ever worth

Especially because you kinda wanna spam water pulse for free 3k confusion points

[rancid perch]

yeah blue doesn't have any aggravation or anything for water pulse so you want to throw it out as often as you can

[carmine cedar]

10 hours.

[grave vine]

There we go

If I had SS lysandre and if I dojo Gloria 3/5, I prolly could’ve gotten top 2000

But I’m content with this

Also had to EX a couple water pairs to get either the support buff, stat buff, or just both overall

[visual kayak]

Minimal effort on 3 challenges tried on 2

any reason to go farther than this do not care about the extra tickets

for some reason I thought I had to score much higher to get the medal

[outer whale]

https://tenor.com/view/courage-the-cowardly-dog-eustace-mallet-angry-its-go-time-gif-4845999

Gets out of top 500....
Oh?

Ok.

The only addition was Archie at 465. @onyx crystal

Misty 375
Marlon 425
Lana 375
Nessa 400
Archie 465

now rank 415

Flinch saved my a** tbh

[stray comet]

I beat Nessa with SS Lysandre, Adaman & Vaporeon, and Tech Blastoise. I then beat Archie with Nessa, Kris, and Hilbert.

Would it be possible to beat the remaining 3 with what I have right now? I want at least some of the rewards before the event ends

[outer whale]

You can beat lana with Barry, but you will need to EX him

probably do SSBlue/Crasher Wake/Barry

and just focus on sync moves

[stray comet]

wdym just focus on sync moves? Is there something you would recommend I'd do while I have the countdown going (sorry I don't know how to explain that adsfgbdsa)

or am i overthinking what you're saying

[outer whale]

you flinch with wake. to get sync moves faster

since you're canceling their attacks

[stray comet]

OH okay gotcha

[outer whale]

First sync with SSBlue, then Barry.

Barry should be focusing on debuffing speed for cakewalk

[stray comet]

oh by the way I have tech gyarados

[sour fable]

I can secure top 200 with this score right?

Last minute grinding ppl are taking top 101-200 spots very quickly

[outer whale]

It's very slow around the top 400-500 area

right now 313K is top 500 now

[sour fable]

I'm rank 178 rn

[stray comet]

who should I use against Misty btw? I was using SS Blue, May and, well, Misty (w/ Starmie) but I'm having a bit of trouble.

[outer whale]

Save SSBlue for Lana

do Lana/Misty/May

[stray comet]

[outer whale]

oh wait

wait wait wait

Misty doesn't do water type attacks

do Misty starmie/SSMisty/May @stray comet

SSMisty is the sync nuker. because of her multipliers which is better with Starmie around

[stray comet]

I didn't know SS Misty could be a sync nuker

[outer whale]

SS Misty is one of the strongest sync nukers for water.

she's just hard to set up lol

[stray comet]

really? that's nuts

is she okay on 2/5?

[outer whale]

she needs 3/5

her sync multiplier is based on evasion

[stray comet]

....so do I use SS Misty versus herself or not? My roster showed she was 2/5 😅

and iirc she's gen pool so I won't use a candy on her

[outer whale]

honestly, your roster is kind of strained, so you may have to use 2 water types instead

especially for Misty

[stray comet]

yeah I kind of figured I'll have to do that 😅

It's not the end of the world, as long as I get a decent amount of awards I'm good

should I post my general roster?

[outer whale]

i mean, with general roster, you should be fine to use anyone.

you won't get as many points overall, but to get some points, about anyone can work

[rugged drum]

Under 9k with under 9 hours

[sour fable]

Gratz

[round stone]

I like how I got top 500 without even trying that hard

[chilly flame]

Decided to do one more game just because why not

Misty: 450
Marlon: 700
Lana: 365
Nessa: 670
Archie: 500

@onyx crystal

[round stone]

I should probably add the scores for others to see

I basically subtracted 20-100 strength from each copied/referenced clear to make them less tedious to do

wtf I dropped from top 350.. really?

waitaminute.. hey @worn bronze how did I beat you with suboptimal runs? iirc I asked you for your team specs too

[chilly flame]

Well you said you used other people team comps but -20

Some might’ve been higher than the ones he did

[round stone]

lemme check

[carmine cedar]

7 hours and 50 minutes.

[round stone]

minus from 20 to 100

[worn bronze]

You beat my score?

[round stone]

apparently so

[worn bronze]

I topped at 318k and tried redoing Archie but wasn’t getting higher

[round stone]

Rancer:
Misty - 400
Marlon - 400
Lana - 450
Nessa - 300
Archie - 450

NitsuaGamer:
Misty - 600
Marlon - 550
Lana - 210
Nessa - 300
Archie - 400

[worn bronze]

Don’t you tempt me with redoing Misty round

[round stone]

wow maximizing on easy stages seems to be a good strat

well I don't plan on doing any more runs for this annoying mode

[worn bronze]

Yeah I spread my units out

[round stone]

I attempted to do so too

It was just convenient that my teambuilding all leaned towards overkilling misty and marlon in terms of strength

[worn bronze]

My pride couldn’t take Lana going under 400 so lol

[chilly flame]

Oh yea

Don’t care if he passes me afterwards, I take pride in this

[worn bronze]

I’ll say we stopped the count

[sour fable]

The rivalry is real huh

[round stone]

Yes and no

The thing is, I just did copied, suboptimal runs, and that’s it

I’m just surprised that I’m able to get to top 500 like that

[chilly flame]

Yes I’ve been competing with like 4 different people

[main pulsar]

unrelated

but

has anyone beat 1k power

just for the fun of it

[chilly flame]

Yea I’ve seen a video of it

[main pulsar]

ooh

did they double rat it

[spark storm]

yh rats +ssa Cynthia or ss morty can do it

Both have been done

[rugged fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxYMPpd4Aac

[spark storm]

And this one with ssa Cynthia too

the real competition was with staff (and ex staff )

[chilly flame]

Fr

[onyx crystal]

[carmine cedar]

Think it's unlikely for me to fall off the masters, the speed is kinda a bit fast, but not enough to put me in danger.

7 hours.

[gleaming raven]

7 hours and i have to drop 1k places to worry, i think im ok

[carmine cedar]

your rank is..?

[gleaming raven]

8.7k

[carmine cedar]

You could probably drop 50 or 60 ranks every hour but I'm not too good at prediction

[gleaming raven]

it's a good thing im probably not gonna be asleep by then but i'm not overly concerned

[carmine cedar]

I have to go to sleep so I have to be a bit worried

Currently I am at rank 6255, but I still think it's unlikely for me to fall down 3750 ranks in a short period of time

[gleaming raven]

yeah you're almost certainly fine

personally, i think everyone above 7500 is completely fine

[round stone]

Expect 5x the drop rate since it’s last minute. I’ve seen insane changes in LG so it might be similar.

[carmine cedar]

LG as in legendary gauntlet?

It's fair due to compositions and pullable units as well as the strategies

But here I don't think it's as cheesable since you have to have a good amount of water types and some you have to pull

f2p can do it but it's omega luck

Ah, and EX too

[gleaming raven]

i'll try to gain like, 25k points if i'm like, 9500 or lower in 5 hours

[visual kayak]

I see everyone talking about rank does it actually matter outside of top 10k?

[gleaming raven]

not as far as i know

[chilly kayak]

no

[gleaming raven]

top 10k gets the medal. Below that just doesn't

[sullen kestrel]

U get a medal for top 10k and rewards every 5k up to 180k (every 5k after is 1x )

[visual kayak]

👍

[fresh fulcrum]

Hello is it too late to try this 😆

[worn bronze]

New high score of 326,184 @onyx crystal

Misty 400

Archie 470

[mighty geyser]

what's a good grid for barry?

[round stone]

Damn you mf

[worn bronze]

We are sweating over 320th place ya know

Or uhh 312th for me I guess

[sturdy glen]

@onyx crystal
700 / 650 / 355 / 450 / 500

[round stone]

Not really. I was surprised, so I took the chance to act cocky.

I’m not wasting time in a mid gamemode

[worn bronze]

i enjoy it more than LG, so don't worry i won't get to 91 win streak anytime soon

[stray comet]

i dont know who to use for Misty. I think I'm going to have to offtype this one, but I don't know with who.

I already used Tech Blastoise, Hilbert, Lodge Adaman, SS Lysandre, Nessa, and Kris. I'm thinking of going OG Misty and May for Misty but I don't know who that third member will be

I hear people using SS Misty vs Misty but I don't have her at 3/5

[mighty geyser]

400, 300, 200, 420, 250. Not great, but given that I started today, I think that’s as much as I’m going to get

[round stone]

It’s gonna end today

[stray comet]

i think that was their point lol

[mighty geyser]

yeah, that's basically the only reason I bothered to do it

I was like "aw fuck, deadline day is here"

[round stone]

At least you got 180k+

[stray comet]

must.....resist....urge...to....candy....gen pool...

[mighty geyser]

I was banging rounds between sets at the gym lol

[stray comet]

LMAO

[mighty geyser]

does anyone know what the master cut-off is?

[bright river]

gen pool...

[round stone]

I want to know who

[stray comet]

SS Misty I'm at 2/5

and I'm struggling against Misty

I might have to off type but I don't know with who

well off type as in use a non-water unit

[round stone]

Bro I’ve never seen anyone use SSMisty nuke on this event

[rugged fjord]

don't worry there's others that candy the gen pool

poce was on of them back when spotlights were a think

[stray comet]

wait really?

[worn bronze]

I like memeing but even SS Misty is a bit too specific to make it work as a nuke

[stray comet]

i mean it was probably because this event gives extra points for water types

you gotta make do

[true sparrow]

I mean

[onyx current]

Don’t follow my example

Candies hilbert to 3/5

Got him literally 2 weeks later

I don’t even use hilbert anymore! still was worth it

[mighty geyser]

God, I'm trying to imagine what this event would be like with types like Steel or Bug

[worn bronze]

You’re the ultimate “do as I say, not as I do” type of helper on this discord

[onyx crystal]

How's Archie going @true sparrow ?

[cunning shore]

Giving up slowly

[worn bronze]

Wonder if they’ll let us see the teams after the event

[outer whale]

Just reposting it here, but this is what happens if you have the same score as another player.

[worn bronze]

Prob not

[true sparrow]

a bit better now

[stray comet]

would Adaman work versus Misty?

[true sparrow]

not particularly good, what's the rest of the team

[shy flax]

Any suggestions to improve my teams? I struggled the most with Lana

[stray comet]

I don't think I'm going to be able to use complete water types for Misty 😭 I have May and OG Misty but I have no clue who else should be on there

[worn bronze]

Best damage dealer or a support?

[onyx crystal]

The teams look fine, it's more so about grinding for good rng. Unless you have a Eusine or ex ssMisty I'm not seeing.

[onyx crystal]

Maybe falkner? That would support both of them.

[stray comet]

Falkner is 2/5

[onyx crystal]

Well he'd be buffing their crit and special attack

Or you could use Adaman + May + Misty

He's self sufficient.

and uses no gauge

[true sparrow]

how are your points without misty

I don't think may will be able to carry at 1/5

[stray comet]

wait May with Adaman? Doesn't May kinda need Rain?

[stray comet]

As in what are my current points?

[true sparrow]

yes

[shy flax]

Who should I swap out for SS Misty?

[onyx crystal]

Yes, I know it does sound odd to Run May with Adaman. But you just need her there so your points are multiplied by 2 instead of 1.

[stray comet]

fair enough

[onyx crystal]

You could use a physical water pair with adaman instead so they benefit from Pride

[stray comet]

here are my water pairs.

[true sparrow]

how many points do you have

[stray comet]

sorry i was just about to answer

44280 vs Nessa, 40479 vs Archie

84759 points

[true sparrow]

ok, which units have you not used yet

[stray comet]

I've already used Tech Blastoise, Hilbert, Lodge Adaman, SS Lysandre, Nessa, and Kris.

[onyx crystal]

You'd have to reset multiple fights, and change grids probably. But ssMisty can be the nuke vsMisty, ogMay can go to Nessa, gyarados to Archie, Wake to Lana.

[atomic rain]

ok can misty not be a fucking asshole

and kill off may before she can rain dance

[onyx crystal]

It's easier to just screencap the team screen that shows which units are unavailable.

[stray comet]

RIIIIP

sorry

[chilly flame]

Sages are you gonna do anymore resets or are you done?

[true sparrow]

you overdid there, all your 3 ex have been used in 2 teams

[onyx crystal]

9k away from 400k club...

[worn bronze]

[atomic rain]

i have been trying 500 str misty

for the entire fucking day

and the sides keep landing blizzard at fucking -5

[blazing birch]

I am perfectly OK with my 300k run

Still top 1k

[atomic rain]

and yet i cant land shit with +2 evasion

[blazing birch]

[true sparrow]

would you be ok resetting archie?

[slow obsidian]

Same ngl

[onyx crystal]

600
610
450
700
510
Rank 35

[stray comet]

i guess

[true sparrow]

if you can keep kris there and move nessa to lana would really help

[blazing birch]

Reject HS, embrace LG

[stray comet]

that makes sense

[true sparrow]

ok let me just take a look at make some teams

[worn bronze]

Read that as high school lol

[atomic rain]

oh my god i cant

this fucking dewgong

[stray comet]

awww taiyo

[atomic rain]

keeps queueing drill run which connects with -1

[chilly flame]

[atomic rain]

and crit 3 times now

[stray comet]

fucking drill run

[atomic rain]

i cant even fucking make it past the second damn turn now

[blazing birch]

Raikou moment

[atomic rain]

the fucking crit blizzard whyy

[stray comet]

by the way I have Tech Gyarados

and Striker Gyarados

[blazing birch]

Raikou 🤝 Misty
Critting an unreasonable amount of times

For fucking no reasons

[stray comet]

[atomic rain]

she keeps queueing t1 blizzard

now

i cant fucking catch a break

like actually fuck off

[stray comet]

that literally happens to me all the time it's so ridiculous

it's worse that you can't give her any statuses

[true sparrow]

here's what I would try

Misty - SS Blue, Barry, Misty
Marlon - Adaman, SS Misty, Marlon
Lana - Hilbert, L Rosa, Nessa
Archie - Kris, Lana, Tech Gya

nvm your elio is 1/5, keep misty

[stray comet]

just so I know you've seen my roster and move levels?

[true sparrow]

yes, I'm checking them

[stray comet]

alrighty

wait, who is going to change the weather on Misty?

I'm not dealing with 100% accurate blizzards

[true sparrow]

try it out first and see how much dmg you take, if it's not sustainable change misty with May

[haughty haven]

Lana 80k for 400k

[atomic rain]

i am throughly upset

47k was not worth the actual suffering

[shy flax]

Hmm, would EXing SS Misty or TL Adaman be the better investment? Although I might be fine with doing both

[onyx crystal]

I mean both are niche depending on your roster.

[lone bronze]

Replace Brendan and lower the strength a bit!

[atomic rain]

eh its like already a 10k improvement

im working on marlon lana and nessa reworks

[rancid perch]

had a god run on 560 lana, perfect rng and even got the late confusion hit on seaking towards the end but I fumbled it

[atomic rain]

there is no fucking chance rock slide just flinched two members out of 3

no fucking way

and the best part is that water pulse triggered fucking quick cure

what the fuck

IT FUCKING FLINCHED SS B AGAIN

OH MY GOD

rock slide just flinched

everyone

we’re reaching rng levels that shouldnt even be possible

[stray dust]

Welcome to high scores

Where u test your sanity against rng

[onyx current]

I am!

I make bad decisions so you dont have too

[worn bronze]

[slow obsidian]

Misty be like: Aight, Imma T1 Blizzard crit'd oops, one shotted your tank :p

[nova anchor]

shoot forgot to push last weekend XD

just checked my rank

I'm exactly at 300

[open furnace]

Okay, theoretically, if I did well on the other categories, how many water types would I need to hit the max point stuff? I mean, for rewards. The 180k mark.

[lone bronze]

You need at least 2 per team, and probably need 3 on at least some teams

[warm kayak]

4 hours to get my medal!

[open furnace]

Hmm... Noted. Should I get a self sufficient tech pair for Marlon then?

Like, maybe Tate?

[warm kayak]

We will only get a 4* PU for dupe medals here right?

[open furnace]

Backed up by Blue and SS Misty?

[nova anchor]

@onyx crystal
last update for me man. 🫡

Strength

• Misty - 600
• Marlon - 600
• Lana - 200
• Nessa - 300
• Archie - 460

[stray comet]

Hilbert is being decimated by lana atm

[lone bronze]

Lana was a real block for me

[cunning shore]

Rng did me dirty boys

I am done
Can't finish the stage which I did before
This is what happens when you reset your highest stage huehuehue.

[nova anchor]

ye lol

[stray comet]

I'm trying to save Misty for later because she's giving me so much trouble

[open furnace]

Something like this?

[nova anchor]

I was about to reset archie man and realized something

don't have time left

[stray comet]

I'm so tired of this event. I just want to finish all of them at least once

[nova anchor]

I'd rather push last weekend, but got busy at work lolol

[lone bronze]

Why not use May against Nessa?

[cunning shore]

I am already 390k-ish

I wanted to get 420k but rngesus said no

[onyx crystal]

I need to see these 700+ marlon runs... how the hell do you KO him before we all die

[nova anchor]

what you resettin jo btw?

[cunning shore]

Marlon

Simple stages I did just screw me over for no reason, like

[open furnace]

These were the teams I was recommended, save for Marlon.

[nova anchor]

what st?

[stray comet]

I don't know what to do. My water roster sucks

[open furnace]

I can try to find the reccomendations.

[nova anchor]

700?

[onyx crystal]

are you gridded for Shielded?

[cunning shore]

Marlon 800 🙈

[nova anchor]

wtf

XD

[cunning shore]

I DID IT ONCE BEFORE, then I wanted to do 820... But It's not working lol.

[onyx crystal]

updated

[cunning shore]

Listen kids, don't be greedy

[stray comet]

No I was doing vigilance and aggravation grid

[lone bronze]

You can get quite far without limited water #1017360219849891890 message

[nova anchor]

I only did 600 w/blue think it's doable 700 if I have a time lol

[nova anchor]

thanks bud

[onyx crystal]

where is the marlon video :3 I need to research it

[cunning shore]

Been doing it for 2 days, always dying at the very end

[haughty haven]

My run for Marlon 710 is just try to dodge with -acc

[stray comet]

The only Limited Water I have is SS Lysandre

[open furnace]

Found them

"Barry, may, misty for misty
Eusine, rain egg, flinch unit for lana
Sslys, rain egg, Smisty for Nessa
Kris, Hilbert, Lana/wake for Archie"

[haughty haven]

[cunning shore]

700 won't give me my 420k

[lone bronze]

That's a good one. Slot him in somewhere.

[open furnace]

This is what I was working with.

[haughty haven]

With just 1 EX Sp Buff, i must used 2 Water Rebuff on Marlon to kill Marlon

[stray comet]

I already used him against Nessa

[onyx crystal]

Hmm, I see. I was using another flinch with hilbert, so I'm not sure my grid suggest will work for you.

[stray comet]

I beat Archie once but I was told to reset

[nova anchor]

-6 acc clutch my serena, ends up misty sync hitting 2k

[stray comet]

To rework my teams

[stray comet]

I have Tech Gyarados and Crasher Wake

[haughty haven]

-6acc and confusion

So it not that bad

[rancid perch]

FINALLY AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH

[haughty haven]

I did 710 Marlon like 3 tried

[lone bronze]

Probably somewhere else if you have May, especially if you have May EX

[cunning shore]

Rock slide never misses
My life is sad

[stray comet]

I have 1/5 May

[nova anchor]

dang eucine archie combo hits diff.

[cunning shore]

I can tank a few surfs, But Rock slides is no go

[haughty haven]

Well Rng not bless you anymore Jo

[lone bronze]

oof

[onyx crystal]

Yes, but are they raised? If there only 3 star they might get popped by sync.

[haughty haven]

[stray comet]

You want me to reset?
I really really don't want to lose the only other battle I managed to complete

[cunning shore]

Yup

[lone bronze]

No, just clear the other battles!

[cunning shore]

I was lucky early on, now no more

[stray comet]

The Tech Gyarados

[lone bronze]

You can use the teams I linked, or improve those teams

Start low

Just get the wins

[stray comet]

I don't have psyduck misty

[nova anchor]

chance of rock slide missing more than surf r?

[haughty haven]

I want to do more, but with lack of 4star PU and EX

I cant

[stray comet]

PU?

[rancid perch]

Misty: 510
Marlon: 400
Lana: 560
Nessa: 560
Archie: 550

[haughty haven]

Power Up

[rancid perch]

currently rank 84

[cunning shore]

Yet they never miss the goddamn rockslide

[stray comet]

Oh

[rancid perch]

@onyx crystal

[lone bronze]

Do the other teams then. You just have to try, get what you can.

[cunning shore]

Misty MPR 4 times, Perfect sleeping order
-6 accuracy, everything confused

Rockslide: you think I should miss right? Think again.

[onyx crystal]

welcome to top 100

[haughty haven]

Even you survived

Rock Slide: Should i flinch you ? Yes

[shy flax]

How important is confusion to get a high score

[cunning shore]

True

[cunning shore]

Less important than everything else-

But useful

[rancid perch]

I am the Pokemon Master EX™️

hopefully it stays top 100 this time

[nova anchor]

here you thought everything is working in your favor

[cunning shore]

What I want to say is, Don't force yourself to put a confusion unit in the team if you can finish it with higher strength with different units.

[haughty haven]

Well my 710str Marlon worked in my favor

But 310str Nessa is not

I tried so many times

And she always EQ me

[grand perch]

Oh I guess I should check my placement before it’s too late

[cunning shore]

No Lyss at all?

[haughty haven]

I had 2/5 from daily

But not Ex

[cunning shore]

Wait till last second, you will be thrown down

[cunning shore]

Lucky

[haughty haven]

Without EX he so bad

[nova anchor]

my 200 lana 🤣

[onyx crystal]

You haven't started yet at all?

[open furnace]

Nope.

I am a major procrastinator.

[cunning shore]

You have roughly 4 hours

[nova anchor]

[open furnace]

But if this is anything like champion's Stadium, it's more than enough time.

but yeah, how do those teams look with the water types I have?

[haughty haven]

No it isn’t

[atomic rain]

i cat push this shit any further

i dont have a dps left for nessa

[open furnace]

can I at least hear how the teams look?

If they'll work for this?

[cunning shore]

They can work

[forest ferry]

Just offtype it

[haughty haven]

Misty: Hail
Marlon: No striker
Lana: No heal for y
Nessa: EQ go brrrr
Archie: Def drop

[open furnace]

any strategies or grids I should use?

[onyx crystal]

barry eusine misty - misty
may elio marlon - marlon
grimsley hilbert rosa/silver/wake - lana
lySSandre Maylimer ssBlue
kris lana wake/rosa/silver - archie

[atomic rain]

misty more like fucking hell on earth

[cunning shore]

You most likely will throw your strongests at 3 stages and barely get by the last 2 stages

[open furnace]

This is what I have in general, if this helps.

[onyx crystal]

it doesn't help 🫠

[cunning shore]

Grimsley vs Lana

[open furnace]

I can EX some.

should I?

[haughty haven]

Can you show water only?

[onyx crystal]

Yeah... don't click TM.

[open furnace]

It's right here.

[cunning shore]

Try running these teams Sage suggested first, on 200-300 difficulty

[open furnace]

check above.

[onyx crystal]

actually wailmer sucks

[cunning shore]

Yeah

[onyx crystal]

use anything else

[cunning shore]

But try whatever at this point

[onyx crystal]

except wallace

Oh there's a nessa there

uh you can use her instead of grimsley maybe

[haughty haven]

Archie will be suck

[cunning shore]

200-300 str should be okay

They only need 180k for full rewards

[open furnace]

Um, didn't Marlon have evasion stuff?

[cunning shore]

Yeah, after sync

But you will handle it

Your Nuke is gonna be your best friend

[grand perch]

4,4

[haughty haven]

Maybe swap Marlon for SSMisty, but Elio cant tank well

[open furnace]

Um, does this include eggmons at all?

Because I have Gyarados and Blastoise tech.

@onyx crystal Just making sure on this.

[onyx crystal]

You could use them sure.

[cunning shore]

Alternative teams if you face a struggle
Use SSlysandre, eggmon with rain and ssblue for Nessa

Use swimmisty, Barry and someone that does dmg for misty

Use Eusine, ssMisty, wake for Lana

MistyOG, Elio, MAY for Marlon

Kris/Hilbert/Lana vs Archie ( I would EX Kris)

[onyx crystal]

are they raised?

[open furnace]

150, max affinity

[onyx crystal]

464k? geeze Runner

[open furnace]

That count?

[onyx crystal]

potential too

[cunning shore]

How many stars

[open furnace]

5*

[cunning shore]

Great

[onyx crystal]

4 star is fine for 200 str

oh 5* better

[open furnace]

You would be surprised at the resources I have hoarded away. XD

[cunning shore]

5* man of determination and respect

[open furnace]

So yeah, that affect decision making at all?

[cunning shore]

Eggmons can be used vs Nessa

To flinch/confuse/rain

Be wary of whennyou set rain

You want to benefit from the rain but not get nuked by it

Since nessa sync is water

[open furnace]

yeah, so probably save rain for after Sync if possible?

[onyx crystal]

can you emulate the top teams? Just set the strength much lower. No need to ex anything, if your just going for 180k.

[open furnace]

Or early on, so it fades before she can utilize it?

[cunning shore]

Second answer

[cunning shore]

This important too

[onyx crystal]

You need to know queue order, and how its affected by flinch. And memorize when rain fades.

[open furnace]

Alright. Since I have LySSander on the team, that can probably work. Gyarados for that team then? To replace Maymer?

[cunning shore]

Thing is, they are missing some crucial pieces found in most top teams

[cunning shore]

Yes!

[open furnace]

And yeah, I know, flinch forces queue order to change, either switching pokemon or switching to a trainer move.

[lone bronze]

You can get to 180k with EX gen pools, so so long as there are materials available

[cunning shore]

This mode, flinching is a bit different

[open furnace]

Also, I do have about 300 Champion's Spirits, I believe (don't remember the name off the otp of my head)

[cunning shore]

They gain temporary resistance to flinches

[open furnace]

Ah, so it's resiliance.

Can't inflict status again fora while after it fades.

[lone bronze]

and the flinch lasts no time at all, pretty annoying. (And the resiliance prevents confusion )

[cunning shore]

I was saying about copying the top teams in the list

[open furnace]

saw that initially in the Kalos BP daily, when I had no good Kalos units.

[cunning shore]

Well, it's annoying and you have to play around it

[open furnace]

Anywhere Eggstoise can go to?

[cunning shore]

Possibly

Lana team to boost your eusine damage

Replacing Wake

[open furnace]

Or Rosa/Silver

[cunning shore]

That is, if you use my suggested team for Lana

You can still use eggtoise in Lana stage in general, safe rain since Lana is ice

Also water pulse is Confusion

2 in 1

[open furnace]

Current team setup. Tactics have the targeting order in right to left to center.

[lone bronze]

The superior targeting order

[cunning shore]

You might want to EX kris if she's not EX'ed already (do it after trying and seeing if you need it or not)

[grand perch]

Hoo Hoo safe

[cunning shore]

3 hours to go buddy, Good luck

[open furnace]

Okay, not 300, 400

[cunning shore]

If it works go up

[open furnace]

anything I should grab for grids on those teams?

[cunning shore]

Umm

Which teams do you feel not working?

[fresh fulcrum]

I try to go 180k points and I did this that far

[open furnace]

I'm someone who likes to confirm first. I dislike running in and just winging it.

[fresh fulcrum]

I'm struggling and I have these units left

[atomic rain]

double earthquake on nessa is so fucking bullshit

[lone bronze]

For Lana Nessa is a common choice. Then I cleared Archie with Lana+LRosa+Hilbert

You can run Elio with Nessa for Lana, and maybe for the third bump a support up and hope for good outcomes

[fresh fulcrum]

Okay I'll try this thanks

[lone bronze]

Also you could squeeze a few more points out of Misty I'm sure

If needed

Obviously finish the others first

[open furnace]

Yeah, not breaching 20k so far.

Misty is 10k, Marlon is 14k.

The battles aren't too hard either so maybe I can go up from 300?

[lone bronze]

What is the score + of 300?

[open furnace]

Opponent's strength increase is 300 so far.

[lone bronze]

I just can't remember how that maps out onto the score bonus

I found you want to beat them just before their second sync, so you can maximise the number of hits

[open furnace]

I don't even get to their first, they die before then.

Really, REALLY quickly.

Gonna try at +24

[long oyster]

Misty 600 beaten
I have never been more frozen in my life

[lone bronze]

Wait you're doing the + strengths in increments of 1?

[open furnace]

Alright, redid Misty at +24 and got up to 14k.

Yeah?

am I misinterpreting things?

[lone bronze]

You should be going up to like 250 300

[open furnace]

Ah, derp

[long oyster]

Are you going for rewards

[open furnace]

Yeah.

[lone bronze]

Try 200

As a base

[atomic rain]

A FUCKING CRIT SURF

[long oyster]

Then 150 to 200 is enough

[atomic rain]

ON SS STEVEN WITH MAX DEFENSE

WHAT A JOKE

[long oyster]

With 3 water units

With 2, you want 250 - 300
