High Score

[onyx crystal]

I think I need to start doing + and - grades

[outer whale]

he has acc buffs surprisingly

[onyx crystal]

Which Stage is best for Ash

[forest ferry]

Yea but thunder suk accuracy already

[outer whale]

true

[forest ferry]

Whale roster runs sshau and SSTred vs marnie and surge

So ash goes to either of the 3 stages

I'd prefer volkner coz evasion wouldn't work on him

But he's equally strong in all 5 stages

[onyx current]

Doesn’t he have piercing gaze

[forest ferry]

NYvolk?

[onyx current]

I think he does

[onyx crystal]

he buffs accuracy

[onyx current]

Nvm

[rough ginkgo]

Piercing Blows probably doesn’t bypass the round parameters

[onyx crystal]

so the evasion doesn't bother him too much

[onyx current]

How does accuracy tiles but accuracy buff scale vs evasuon buffs?

[outer whale]

just did a quick glance on Eggmons...... honestly argue all of them as F

they will not survive long enough, and all they can really do is paralyze

[rough ginkgo]

Yeah the electric support eggmons suck

[outer whale]

....which we have other units for

[rough ginkgo]

I wish supp electrode had actual aoe spdef buffs

[outer whale]

Hau and ARaichu

just all :🅱️ ?

[forest ferry]

Okay C for MCchu on all stages is just slander

He has potions

And is a striker

With endurance

[outer whale]

MCChu has utility

[forest ferry]

No

FBBBB

For MCchu

[outer whale]

was about to say that

[forest ferry]

He suks vs surge

[outer whale]

Nemona time

apparently Hau is just BABBB

[forest ferry]

Nemona is S for surge A for all stages other stages except Marnie

[haughty haven]

2nd tank MCchu with endure-Potion-Unyielding

[onyx crystal]

SAAAD

[forest ferry]

SAAAF

Physical damage gimped means no double shock

[outer whale]

the duality of High Score events.

[onyx crystal]

anything for Hau?

[haughty haven]

But Nemona not about dmg, she like flinch-ramp-shield-gauge-free move

[outer whale]

• sync accel

[haughty haven]

Even 4/5 for evasion

[outer whale]

curious as to why Hau is C on volkner when he has evasion.

[onyx crystal]

No accuracy buffs?

which fight has more aoe

[outer whale]

Surge and clemont

[haughty haven]

OG Surge

[outer whale]

Surge has Sides doing rock slide and discharge, Clemont is Swift/Electroweb/paracharge/discharge

[onyx crystal]

well, i g2g for now.
I think I may need to consider adding plus and minus grades. Since seeing S across the board is harder to tell which fight the specific pair accels in.

[outer whale]

that's fair, but so far, i'm happy with how it's looking like

partners might be subjective though depending on stage

[onyx crystal]

[forest ferry]

Well electric is
Either you are S or F for most part

Looks at all that S vs surge

[outer whale]

and we can always go back on it in the future

[forest ferry]

Actually sshau

Just B vs volkner and elesa

Terrain is painful to go around

Since he sets on entry

[outer whale]

Sages:

[haughty haven]

It must night time for Sage now

Sleep well Sage, prepare to be ping everyday

[outer whale]

also great work on discussing this @forest ferry was fun!

[forest ferry]

[amber warren]

[rancid perch]

does any stage have a non electric sync?

[forest ferry]

Think I'll run smth like this if I were to assume whel roster
Surge : SSTred, nemona, BPClemont
Volkner : marnie, ash, NCblue
Elesa: volkner, zekrom, hjasmine
Clemont : Celesa, elesa, Lelesa
Marnie: vkris, sshau, surge

Surge is steel sync

Marnie has electric sync

[rancid perch]

oh red is perfect for surge then

[forest ferry]

But all moves are offtype

[rancid perch]

lore accurate red vs surge battle

[rain sierra]

Elesa seems like the easiest unless she hits extra hard

[forest ferry]

They all have similar stats

So no extra hard hitting

Moves itself tell which stage is annoying or not

Hardest hitting stage is clearly surge

With that flash cannon and stone edge

While clemont being least annoying

[rain sierra]

Surge also has no healing

[forest ferry]

Yea it's just like lana

Lana had hardest hitting moves ( unless you count Nessa EQ)

[haughty haven]

At least he doesn’t have Flinch move like Lana Icicle Crash

[forest ferry]

Volkner seems to be the one replicating nessa's stage this time

Well there's iron head

Also

They all have gyroball

And surge buffs speed

So unless you run SSTred or any other spd debuffer

[haughty haven]

Surge has Iron Head?

[forest ferry]

That shit also hits hard

One of the sides

The one that also uses rockslide

[haughty haven]

Buff spe will be anoying for red nuke

[forest ferry]

And stone edge

Think that unit is supposed to be octillery of this fight

You reset unless octillery buff stat iirc

[haughty haven]

Octillery goes HydroPump

[forest ferry]

So golem does similar shit

With iron head and stone edge

[haughty haven]

This time is Stone Egde Crit goooo

[forest ferry]

That's why

BP clemont excellent for that stage

He has ER3 and innate vigil

[haughty haven]

Me running HS1 SS Elesa

[forest ferry]

Well if you got nemona, rushing is better anyways

And nemona got flinch already

[haughty haven]

Yes

Flinch is my hope

[forest ferry]

I am thinking of soph , SSTred , BP clemont for that fight

Soph has 60% flinch

[haughty haven]

Nemona has 40% flinch

At least her flinch like SS Lyra

[forest ferry]

Soph also drops speed

[haughty haven]

Nemona too

I mean Nemona just has too much tool

And she cant use all

[forest ferry]

Well

Shes not as amazing outside hs or lg

Due to too many tools

There's always better option for the specific role she's trying to do

Vkris does evasion hax better, pure sync Accel and damage by SSTred, flinch by so many existing units etc

[haughty haven]

What does she have?
Dmg-ramp-heal-shield-tank-flinch-debuff-nuke
And she is not best at anything

[forest ferry]

[haughty haven]

[forest ferry]

Shes a great 3rd slot in multiple team content coz of it

Maybe her 3/5 powerboost will give her terrain

So that she can be miss.everything

[haughty haven]

Give her EX Role Field

Then she can do everything

[forest ferry]

Oh yea
That

Oh god
They might actually do that

Since her nuke is already stronk

She doesn't need any other role specifically

[haughty haven]

That sound good with her TM and her Sprint EX

[signal needle]

Surge

[forest ferry]

EX'd almost everyone that are EXable and planned to use

If soph had EX I'd EX him

[ornate turret]

I just exed all my supports too, will ex more dps when we can test

[sullen pier]

yall try hard this HS?

[forest ferry]

Will try hard if I get zapdos

[ornate turret]

not really, i plan to ex all my supports anyway, still gonna try my best tho, top 500 is good enough for me

[sullen pier]

already got the medal and i know i cant compete with 3/5 rat users so i just want to get all rewards

[ornate turret]

not all 3/5 rats owners are competitive tho, and mine are 1/5

[forest ferry]

I am a rat owner

Only doing first attempt

I can't make full mono electric team even with rat

[sullen pier]

i only have 1/5 SST Red

[ornate turret]

many 3/5 cerena, archie, eusine, sslys owners doing way less than my 1/5 water team so i'm not really worry this time. you need to whale hard and also try hard for these kind of events

[stray dust]

I have all rats at 3/5 but I see no incentive to go higher than 180k

[forest ferry]

Anabel is totally electric type

[ornate turret]

just bragging right

[stray dust]

Going through rng hell for like what? 40 vouchers

[forest ferry]

[spark storm]

yh personnally I did top 100 on water hs with only the 3 mf as limited (and ss blue) and one fight offtype

[ornate turret]

there's no pvp or anything competitive so this and LG are the only places people can flex

[forest ferry]

Water I tried pretty hard
Couldn't hit top 100

So not trying electric with worse teams

[ornate turret]

i'm sure if i use candy i can reach top 100 but nah, gotta save

[forest ferry]

Just gonna 330k or smth first attempt and then dip

[spark storm]

nah that's fully for bragging rights

[ornate turret]

wait ex surge color is kinda nice

[forest ferry]

He got the voltorb colors

I might swap around some units

But I doubt I am using anyone else new other than zapdos

[stray dust]

I definitely can with this but do I want to go through rng hell? Heh no

[forest ferry]

Wow
That's a top 10 roster

[stray dust]

Hard pass

I'm going for blue too

[forest ferry]

OK

Top 3 roster

[ornate turret]

[forest ferry]

Ash+zapdos alone can do 1000 str run
90% certain abt it

[ornate turret]

3/5 nemona right before anni

[stray dust]

Lucked out on her tbh

[ornate turret]

I got her from a daily pull too

[stray dust]

I posted my results in my pull for her back then in #gacha-and-flex , nearly dropped my phone back then

[mortal timber]

Got her too 3/5

Let’s see if she can help me for this event

[signal needle]

Replace anabel with anything and do a lower difficulty, you'll get a better score that way

Maybe a speed Electric eggmon to setup Elesa syncs

[rough ginkgo]

Support Electabuzz has +6Atk +2Spe I guess

Or support Electrode for +2SpDef +2Spe

[forest ferry]

Not really?

Coz it's harder to do lower score with no defensive buffs

I tried that last event and got less score

Volkner stage also needs both def and spl def coverage to tank hits

No eggmon has it

Else I'd try tank eleSSa

[signal needle]

I doubt ur increased difficulty compensates for the difference between x2 and x3 but if u say u did it last time i believe u

[forest ferry]

300 str in x3 is same as 630 str in x2 from my experience

Both net close to 55k pts

Assuming that X2 team didn't get confusion and X3 got confusion

And since this time the condition is paralysis it's much easier to get that 3k score

[paper mist]

are all the sync moves Electric?

[sullen pier]

Surge has Steel sync

[paper mist]

Asking cause Misty had an Ice sync, which made Rain safe to use against her, so I'm wondering if there's anyone in this one that can be safe for ET

[sullen pier]

the rest has Electric yeah

[paper mist]

understandable, he spams Steel Beam

was mostly wondering if Marnie had Dark or not since I'm using SS Hau against her

[atomic rain]

ss hau is dark weak?

oh wait you mean sync

durr

[paper mist]

yeah

I'll have ET up for most of the fight so I would have liked a Dark sync

but I'm also running Blue with Overwhelm and Satisfied Snicker so it might not matter much with max defenses

those two passives would be great against Surge but it feels like a waste because Roost is useless against him

[forest ferry]

Marnie has electric sync

But no electric moves

You can use terrain for that stage and time it long enuff to leave before sync

[grand perch]

Alright now that I’m done with Fire CS I guess I should make electric teams lol

[forest ferry]

Electric HS > fire cs

[warm kayak]

fire hs would destroy me

any of my premium options are 1/5

[hardy fog]

Hoping for some advice. I'm going to pull NC Blue as my 5th support. Do you see BP surge or Holiday Jasmine 1/5 being good upgrade for any of these support? I can candy Lodge Elesa as well.

[onyx current]

Well BPJasmine is a very good defensive offensive support with her seun and on grid PMUN/SMUN she’s just a solid support you don’t really use supoorts to help other supports but
Volkner + clemont is good because he has electropropulsion 3 (40% dr)

[atomic rain]

bp jasmine
:thonk:

[onyx current]

They mentioned HoliJasmine and saw BPsurge I got mixed up

[lone bronze]

Holiday Jasmine 1/5 is busted good

[hardy fog]

Ok so who would I replace as one of the support

[lone bronze]

Replace in what sense?

[hardy fog]

I mean I'm asking in preparation of high score. Is she going to significantly improve my support roster above

I'm unlikely going to sink candies in her I guess even at 2/5 she gets a lot more

So maybe..

[forest ferry]

You'll absolutely shove in Lelesa vs clemont and BPclemont vs surge

Other supports gonna depend on what dps you gonna run

[hardy fog]

O the data on them are out?

Lollol it's in pinned

[grand perch]

alright finally have some time to sit down and brain storm muh teams lol

Time to stare at these 17 units for hours before dividing them into 5 teams

[lone bronze]

2 real losers

[grand perch]

… why did I even EX Surge LMAO

[lone bronze]

It's going to be hard to adjust to fewer attacks

Although it makes more sense combined with timing

I wonder if the first one was a mistake

[grand perch]

6 supports so that’s a goddamn blessing

[signal needle]

Rip roster not looking good

[grand perch]

Oh I don’t mind I’m just aiming for 180k

I already got the medal from water thankfully

Wait

Oh right the free ticket to get Marnie isn’t here yet lol

I forgot

Alright temporary placeholder 180k teams ready. Silver’s just there to keep the seat warm for Marnie haha

[signal needle]

Better use Jasmine with an EX Striker

On type i mean

Silver and Sonia is a good conbo too

OK im dumb

Its never on type

[fresh sapphire]

It's ontype with Marnie kinda

That's why the Jasmine i assume

[grand perch]

Yep Marnie placeholder

[onyx crystal]

Cause he's incredibly based.

[crude iron]

is it worth possibly EXing any of these three for the event, im hoping for 180k but im 100% expecting to fail that goal cause i dont have any limited electrics (only gonna have Zekrom, MAYBE nc blue if i decide to grab him but im trying to stop my temptations)

plan to ex N as soon as i get him from ticket cause favoritism, but doubt im gonna do any other dps ex for electric type till a new elec fav drops

(think i might have lodge elesa's dupes, i cant remember, havent updated the lodge pairs in a while)

[gentle thistle]

Better to wait until we have the refined list for the HS to be sure to EX only what needed for 180k

But good choises will prob be Hau, OG Elesa and BP Sophocles

maybe some more supp EX if you want (I'm a supp simp, so all supp are EXed...)

[crude iron]

im prob gonna be trying to avoid exing non-supports other than zekrom in this type, cause id get a lot less use out of a non-fav dps ex than a non-fav support ex

[warm kayak]

decide a week into the event if your resources are limited

[crude iron]

i wouldnt call my resources THAT limited (PU icon is just number of EXs can do at a given time)
technically i still have 1 strike candy but i went ahead and marked as 2 cause 19 candy coins

[crimson python]

whens high score

[onyx crystal]

it's in the pins, sept 14

[crimson python]

wow so late

[onyx crystal]

glad to be of service 🫠

[rough ginkgo]

I think they meant that hs is late this month, not your reply

[tall arrow]

Should I EX anyone else among these pairs or are the ones already promoted enough?

[rough ginkgo]

What are their move levels?

[tall arrow]

All the EX are 3/5+ except for CElesa, Marnie and Nemona which are 1/5

If I manage to get enough resources I plan to 3/5 Nemona, but I’ve only one universal candy as of now

[cyan tusk]

I think you are fine for both rewards and medal

[warm kayak]

you are more fine than me and I'm confident in 300k

[tall arrow]

Thank you everyone!

[red pendant]

still trying to pick 3 more sync pairs to EX for this High Score event...

who should I give the EX to and why?

[warm kayak]

wait for the event

[red pendant]

the wait is killing me ;-;

[forest ferry]

Are you going for 180k pts or as high as possible?

[ornate turret]

medal

even if you ex some more units you still have to do the stages multiple times and keeping track of your score throughout the event

[forest ferry]

Well medal gonna depend on how the event goes

Last event went for 230k+

I doubt electric gonna have higher requirment due to being top heavy

[stray dust]

Wait is worth it unless u want to waste extra resources

[ornate turret]

also even if we tell you who to ex and you end up not using them is not gonna end well out of those probably N if you plan to 3/5 him with the free ticket
for supports i would ex all 3 clemont, elesa and surge. first 2 take priority because more defensive

but just wait till we have some discord leaderboard

[forest ferry]

They don't have Marnie

So why pick zekrom dupe

[ornate turret]

copy their teams, make some changes and decide to ex later

yeah i just notice that

[forest ferry]

Marnie also has PT to beat down volkner

[stray dust]

While I'm at it electric high score is about 2 weeks from now

So better stay waiting

[forest ferry]

I pretty much ex'd every electric unit except BP soph

I wouldn't struggle for PUs like I did with water HS

[ornate turret]

after pulling for MF and using my general tickets my PUs stash is healthy again

[warm kayak]

my Zebstrika hit 5/5

[red pendant]

honestly, yeah, I'd rather pick Marnie than a N dupe

because at least then I'd have a wider selection of sync pairs to choose from

[warm kayak]

im going for Marnie

because I feel like N will come back much more

Raihan might be the best choice but I like him the least so

[red pendant]

I already have Raihan and N

I may bring him to 3/5 with candies at some point

but knowing my roster, there are prolly sync pairs who want the candy more than N

[onyx crystal]

3rd bullet point in the main explanation pin:

[red pendant]

yeah, which is why I held off candy-ing N

[onyx crystal]

It was in general, since I saw some early conversations talking about it.

[jagged eagle]

No rats but I'm pretty happy with my supports so I'll see how far I can go with these

I'll invest in SS Hau when needed

[cyan tusk]

Just ended up brainstorming with some friends. Would you mind sharing Anything you’d switch/adjust/modify? Considering all electric units available, I’m not completely happy with a couple of teams so I’m all ears

[hardy fog]

Just a quick k question for the veterans. Would you replace any of these with BP Surge for HS?

[hardy fog]

Base on the pinned chart it's only competing with Sonia. So I guess it won't be better.

On the other hand I saw Holiday Jasmine competing with BP Clemont for the support spot. Do you guys think 1/5 Jas would be better than BP Clemont?

[onyx crystal]

Whenver I've tanked with him, he usually reaches first aid rather quickly. The problem with ssElesa, is I don't see her tanking very long. I believe the strat with ssElesa is to use Nemona + Red vs Surge so you accel the countdown a lot. At least that is what a lot of people are concluding so far.

[grand perch]

Supposing I use all 15 electric types and only aiming for 180k, 200 strength is enough right?

[atomic rain]

sa elesa is an evasion tank primarily from what i can see

cuz her defenses are very high but has very low hp to compensate

though this can also be attributed to her nature as an offensive buffer somewhat

[onyx crystal]

I think 250 or so, possibly. I forget what it was for water.

[grand perch]

Thanks

[hardy fog]

Thanks Sage. I’m not following. Maybe my question wasn’t clear. I wonder if I should get Bp surge to replace any of my support. But on the chart he only have 1 favourable match up and he is competing with Sonia. So I guess not worth it.

[onyx crystal]

who are you using vs Surge?

[hardy fog]

Prob sst red ssElesa and Sophocles base on chart

[hardy fog]

Hmm I'm looking at the dmg for Volkner and Hau. Considering them as dps. But they seem to do lower than Clemont. Would that little dinosaur be better as the nuker /main dps? Don't have that many choice lol

[signal needle]

No, no, clemont maybe

Ye exing strikers better for u

[mortal timber]

Acquired blue, I can consider myself ready for this event

[warm kayak]

still gotta candy mine and decide who's paired with him

[regal grove]

Should i ex Hau ARaichu or Elesa Zebstrika?
The other 4 EX dmg dealer i have SST Red 1/5, Ash 3/5, N 1/5, and will grab Marnie 1/5 later

[hardy fog]

I'm pretty sure zebstrika is a way better ex lol

[stray dust]

[regal grove]

Got it, i’ll better w8

Thx guys

[signal needle]

Hau ex is better on type in general

While Elesa EX gives her lots of utility

Outside of this event i mean

[hardy fog]

I'm looking at the pinned post.
Lodge Elesa's best match up is Clemont. Is there a reason why you put her with Surge? I'm guessing to get Cakewalk maxed out sooner.
SS Elesa seems to only have 1 "A" match up. Which is Lt Surge. She has a "C" match up for Clemont. What is the strat here? Just finish fast?
Volkner have a "B+" match up vs Marnie but S match up for Lt Surge. But I guess since you have Nemo there, he seem to do better against Elesa and Volkner.
I'm just wanting to know the rationale and just reading off the chart 😅

[forest ferry]

Lodge elesa gives only spl def buff to team immediately

And clemont is the only stage that's purely special focused

So that's lelesa's best match up

Sselesa is pretty underwhelming in general
Unless you run her with nemona and rush the stage

As for volkner, I actually did argue for S or A vs Marnie

But sages and linkable valued flinch more than terrain

[hardy fog]

I see Yo Blaze since you are part of the author would you check my roster?

[forest ferry]

I only helped a bit

When they were discussing

[hardy fog]

I mean even a quick geez and your comment would be appreciated

I just used the chart and allocated them base on what I have

[forest ferry]

The rankings in itself are only initial impressions for supposed units

Like if you have a wide roster, your priority might shift completely on where to run which unit

Like if you have SSTred, volkner becomes best in slot for Marnie stage

But if you don't have SSTred, it's best to use volkner in surge fight instead

Once the event starts, the ratings will change noticably

[cyan tusk]

I didn’t have a look at the chart honeslty I was just trying to start setup some stuff. Lodge elesa is there to setup cakewalk so I can grab full power on sstred’s grid and yes, the strat with ash is to finish it up fast. I guess Clemont is going to be the worst with Lt surge bc no tech means no ET (if not NY VOLKNER)

[forest ferry]

Any tech is instantly F tier vs clemont

You can't even bring em for pre sync utility

Coz sides have Swift

[hardy fog]

Why is Hau just straight B for every stage lol

[cyan tusk]

I’m making a couple of adjustment actually bc I guess SSElesa’s best partner is Nemi with her tm

[forest ferry]

Coz hau is mid

[cyan tusk]

Im going for the tm mprs

[forest ferry]

Yep, if you run nemona, eleSSa is godly for HS

You can just rush with 3 syncs before opponent even gets to sync

[cyan tusk]

Let me send an “updated version”

[hardy fog]

I wanted to ask something not sure if you can answer.

When I put Zekrom on poma tool, and I add -defense, the damage didn't change. Is it because of piercing blow?

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/8900/64400

[forest ferry]

The big 6 digit numbers don't change

But the small numbers in bottom do

Coz the small numbers are the actual damage you see

[hardy fog]

o O

[forest ferry]

While the big 6+ digit number is just raw value

[cyan tusk]

That’s it, I still have a spare spot in the ash /elesa team

My elesa on Volkner will handle the nuke so that marnie can just spam power trip

[forest ferry]

You can run celesa for ash instead no?

And volkner for zekrom

[cyan tusk]

But that’s the stage where no tech are involved

The ash stage is the one with the tech not involved

[forest ferry]

Ah right I forgot

[cyan tusk]

Yeah bc otherwise I would have just slapped og Volkner there

But they all have AoE 😰

I might end up slotting bp Clemont just for another sync buff and call it a day

[forest ferry]

Ig you can run MCchu

[hardy fog]

why is Clemont bad for all stages bar Volkner?

[forest ferry]

Has potions atleast

And gives 30 atk just by existing

[sturdy glen]

Doesn’t speed build up too slowly on the Sonia team?

[cyan tusk]

Hey

That’s a great idea actually

[forest ferry]

Well that's what I am running

[cyan tusk]

Just throw a potion

[forest ferry]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1128052735967764621/1145670324432687164/edited_20230828_161335.jpg

[forest ferry]

Evasion hax is hard to execute in general

And clemont isn't rly a great 3rd slot compared to lot of other electric units

Unless you are setting up kekwalk, he's not as good

[cyan tusk]

Now I have a spare Volkner to slot somewhere

[forest ferry]

Now that I look, MCchu is top tier 3rd slot for clemont stage

Coz there's no other option

[hardy fog]

I don't have enough DPS, I am thinking of using him as the DPS for Volkner will that be ok?

[forest ferry]

Unless you do smth funny like double striker with ash

Electric type doesn't struggle with dps

Can you share your electric roster

[hardy fog]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1j5GK65P_jq6UUyez-iHtE_Z3CiUoxaEBJMmAO1n8pOA/edit#gid=545147854

It's all there

[forest ferry]

Biggest wall in electric is support access

If you clear it, almost all problems are solved

You don't have nemona, so it's not recommended to try eleSSa tank for it

[hardy fog]

That Zebstrika team is going to take forever to set up lol

you mean LT Surge?

I have no other tanks that can go there lol

[forest ferry]

You have zekrom, SSTred, ash, elesa, Marnie, hau

Don't bother with dps clemont memes

Just shove in Marnie and hau for that fight

[hardy fog]

is he a meme? I look on Poma he is nuking for a lot

[forest ferry]

SSTred for surge

He needs dedicated setup

[hardy fog]

Maybe its not self explaintory but let be give you a quick SS to explain

[forest ferry]

He also has to choose between accuracy down and spd down himself

Only notable thing that helps him is that he has guaranteed crit

[forest ferry]

Also as I said, with these options
No need to rely on clemont

[forest ferry]

Plz don't sort purely by ranking

[hardy fog]

hahah but its a start right?

80/20

[forest ferry]

No

SSTred and volkner have overlapping roles

And as I already said

If you already have SSTred

You wouldn't run volkner vs surge

Rather he moves to other stages

Moving volkner alone would change your comps drastically

Not to mention, eleSSa without nemona is just straight up B tier unit for any fight

Since she doesn't have any sort of self sufficiency when it comes to being a tank

[hardy fog]

I dont see any better tanks I have lol

Can Volkner nuke?

[forest ferry]

You have 5 tanks

[hardy fog]

he doesn't have that many multipliers

[forest ferry]

Already

Hjasmine, BP clemont, Lelesa, Sonia, zapdos

Just run 1 in each comp depending on what you need for the team

No need to cope with SSelesa tank

BP clemont can go to surge fight, Lelesa for clemont and zapdos for Marnie
Rest you can sort around depending on teams

[hardy fog]

Sonia only have Elesa match up from the chart

[forest ferry]

No

[hardy fog]

so that's locked in

[forest ferry]

Sonia doesn't have lithe

Shes only there coz it was preliminary rankings

Elesa fight has aoe paralysis

Just like Marnie

[hardy fog]

hahah ehhh ok Ill just wait a week and just watch what's up

[forest ferry]

Best choices are zapdos/hjasmine for both the stages

Or BP surge

[hardy fog]

I only wanted to do a quick 80/20 but seems like you are telling me the ranking is not a full picture

[forest ferry]

Coz he's a tank with lithe as well

Well

You don't run units based on rankings

[hardy fog]

I didnt just base it on ranking... I also looked at what each do

and how they fit

but nvm

[forest ferry]

Well you can move around some stuff

Like for surge
You can run SSTred, Og soph , BP clemont

I feel like it's the next best team if you don't have nemona

For volkner Marnie is pretty much a set unit coz powertrip hits super effective

So you just need a second dps and a capable tank

[hardy fog]

I dont have marnie

[forest ferry]

Not picking her from ticket?

[haughty haven]

This is my plan rn

[forest ferry]

You already have zekrom

[haughty haven]

Will swap NC Marnie with OG Marnie

[forest ferry]

Pykuo, how are you dealing with sides?

For volkner

[haughty haven]

Yes, this bother me so much

[forest ferry]

[haughty haven]

Maybe i will stuck for a while

Potion + Endure

[forest ferry]

I'd say BP soph but uh......

[haughty haven]

And try to not para so early

If i cant, well just use NC Marnie to destroy the stage

[forest ferry]

You can try zapdos, Marnie, hau for volkner and volkner, Hjasmine, BP soph for Marnie no?

[haughty haven]

Then where my Special dmg to deal with Marnie ?

[hardy fog]

This team is too slow ay, gauge issues

[forest ferry]

Is that a 4/5 zekrom?

Coz I don't remember hjasmine buff crit

[hardy fog]

no I am 1/5....

lol

[haughty haven]

H Jasmine buff crit with Passive

[worldly parcel]

Jasmine (Holiday 2022) & Ampharos

[forest ferry]

OK, then it should be fine

[hardy fog]

I guess Clemont can just spam mud slap

[forest ferry]

Zekrom has shit gauge so it's understandable

[haughty haven]

When i use Zekrom

I need a dog

[hardy fog]

hmmm I dont think that team will be good haha

[forest ferry]

My zekrom is forever married to Sonia

[haughty haven]

No dog = no gauge

[forest ferry]

Well hjasmine has lithe

[hardy fog]

ok I will move him to Sonia's team

[forest ferry]

So she's better vs elesa or Marnie

[hardy fog]

maybe I pick up the Sophocle Golem...

[forest ferry]

You see lithe on tank, they are decent option for either of stages

[hardy fog]

I'd love a Marnie wont have resource

O wait - are we getting a free one?

[haughty haven]

Yes

Between Marnie-N-Raihan

[hardy fog]

hmmm its going to be 1/5 is it going to be good?

[forest ferry]

I am still mad that selector doesn't have cynthia or Gloria

1/5 is all you need for powertrip

[haughty haven]

But the side

[forest ferry]

Double dps

[haughty haven]

Will be the pain to deal if she the only dmg dealer

[hardy fog]

you have 2 tanks to go with her

[forest ferry]

Just like how Archie ran with Barry or may for misty fight in water HS

[hardy fog]

and nothing gives speed haha

[haughty haven]

But Volkner has Evasion buff

That why i bring L Elese

I dont want almost win

And she miss like 5 move

[forest ferry]

I am just bringing eleSSa and nuking it with OG elesa

I hate Marnie with a passion

[stray dust]

I'm getting marnie for lodge

Me who got all her other versions alr

[forest ferry]

Other 2 picks are already 3/5 for me

If the ticket had Gloria, it'd be instant pick

[hardy fog]

so its not worth it to get 2/5 N but get a copy of Marnie?

[forest ferry]

New unit better coz all 3 are lodge units

Unless you really like zekrom and plan to build him

[haughty haven]

2/5 Zekrom doesn’t have anything god for him

[forest ferry]

Maybe they plan on investing on him

[hardy fog]

ok so if I pick up Golem and Marnie, I guess I can do Marnie, Bp Soph, HJas

[haughty haven]

Personal i want to pick Raihan, but because of Electric high Score i will pick Marnie

[hardy fog]

nah I dont plan to invest on him other than use him for this event haha

[forest ferry]

Wow
Pykuo going for top 10

[haughty haven]

Nope

[forest ferry]

[haughty haven]

Top 100 is good for me

[forest ferry]

I don't even have 5 tanks

Cant gun top 100

[haughty haven]

This is me before roll for high score

Pathetic

[forest ferry]

My electric didn't change at all

[regal grove]

Perhaps i still have to w8 the high score event, coz outside of the event, ady have my ash and sstred that will obliterate

[haughty haven]

This is me rn

Better

[hardy fog]

I spent too much this anni 😂

[forest ferry]

Zapdos saving electric HS

[haughty haven]

I happy for this anni

bc i have sc red and sc blue in 21k

win for me

[hardy fog]

[forest ferry]

Last anni was suk for me
I had to pity both rats and skipped the dog

[hardy fog]

dont remind me of my pain

[forest ferry]

This anni I started with 3k gems and no sign for birds

[hardy fog]

80k for all 3 for me

1 copy of each

[forest ferry]

Even if I get zapdos, it's probs after HS

[haughty haven]

I had to pity SST Red and SSA Cynthia

[forest ferry]

[haughty haven]

And about 300 with Ash

[hardy fog]

last anni... my pogo mate told me to roll an account for rats and then I didnt play

[haughty haven]

What did you spend before Anni ?

[forest ferry]

I think if I get articuno soon, I might just run him as offtype option

[mortal timber]

[forest ferry]

Oleana and water HS banner

[haughty haven]

Hello Dabbo and round Raichu

[forest ferry]

Atleast I can do better than most people on poison HS

[mortal timber]

Hello pykuo hope you're doing great

[forest ferry]

[mortal timber]

Just looking at the Google Doc for electric stuff

No rushing on candies and ex, just getting some first ideas

[haughty haven]

This is my Poison roster

Looking good

[mortal timber]

I miss Emma and Ball Guy

[haughty haven]

[mortal timber]

Plumeria carry xd

[forest ferry]

Nvm

My only limited poison is oleana

No hopes on poison HS either

[mortal timber]

I need to use this site to resume my electric units and start brainstorming

[haughty haven]

What is your best roster for HS @forest ferry ?

[forest ferry]

Grass

[haughty haven]

Soon we will copy each other team to climp higher

[forest ferry]

Has enuff tanks and dps

Other typings are pain

[mortal timber]

I gotchu friend

Gonna be busy just at the beginning of the event, after the 18th no limits, I am here

Tho gotta be honest, after electric I think only grass is another type I am doing good I think, fire I think I'll miss on leaf unless a miracle happens

[haughty haven]

I think i will be ok at Fighting and Ground because i just miss 1 pair from those type

[mortal timber]

Fighting and ground

Those are interesting

[haughty haven]

Yes, just 13 pair per type

[mortal timber]

[haughty haven]

Normal has more pair than Ground and Fighting

[stray dust]

I should probably go do poma tracker too seems like a useful tool

[mortal timber]

Getting Palmer here 100%

[stray dust]

Same

[mortal timber]

I am working with these units here, waiting a bit before ex'ing either joltik or magneton or if needed N

[forest ferry]

Steel is also pretty solid for me
Atleast on paper

It's just steel Pokemon are all with some level of gauge issues

[grand perch]

Beggars can’t be choosers LMAO

Fire and Grass should be fine with my roster

Others tho

Eesh

[forest ferry]

Fire doesn't even have 5 good supports

So if they are doing fire HS, they'll likely release some new fire supports around that time

[haughty haven]

Time to save gem for that HS

Oh wait NC Leaf is here, she must be good

Cant save gem now

[mortal timber]

She is but I think I am skipping her sadly

The gems are nowhere to be seen

[forest ferry]

Fire HS should take some while

Too dry of a roster to make work

Only top 3 have defensive buffs for team

[haughty haven]

Oh we have 6th fire support

[spark storm]

when electric hs was announced there were only 6 electric support too

[haughty haven]

Still dont know what she can do

[forest ferry]

5 of those had some level of team defensive buffs

This one is worse

Even steel has better support spread rn

[mortal timber]

Tina is supp?

[forest ferry]

Yep

Shes decent

[mortal timber]

Interesting

[forest ferry]

Got both defensive buffs and charm

[mortal timber]

I may be super good on fire supps

Crazy

Oh yeah forgot to ex Marley, my beloved

[stray dust]

Finally done with my sync tracker

[plush raven]

Guess I’ll be fine

[atomic rain]

“fine”

that’s literally a top 500 at the minimum

this really just feels like #gacha-and-flex 2.0 now

[forest ferry]

They are probs gunning for top 100

Especially considering that roster can actually do it

[rough ginkgo]

No ss hau means f tier roster

[forest ferry]

Just ash for special damage stage

[chilly flame]

No nemona

L

[onyx crystal]

There’s a toggle in PomaTools configuration, that allows the raw damage value to be affected by def debuffs.

[stray dust]

@chilly flame u going for top 100 for this hs?

[chilly flame]

I am

Got a bit of a competition between some of the other mods

Either I maintain my position as the second highest ranked mod, or I try and beat runner

[tardy quartz]

I think i’m pretty set

Gonna EX some peeps beforehand still

[main pulsar]

Do have whale competition?

[onyx current]

He’s likely competing against runner

[chilly flame]

It’s a one way competition, I don’t think he cares lmfao

But he’s not even the main one

It’s Nick and Dark

[onyx current]

Ah

[rapid pebble]

Electric highscore and i didn't get blue amd don't have SST Red this is gonna be a sight to see

[hardy fog]

Pretty sure 180k is not too hard to get

Can get it with a few off type I’m sure

[rapid pebble]

Wait its still gonna be 180K the rewards goal? Damn

But i'm not after the rewards i'm after the medal

Only micelaineous one i'm missing

[atomic rain]

eh you can probably still get the medal

im more surprised you didnt get it from the water hs tho

[rapid pebble]

It was a bit confusing ngl

Just getting the rewards was a challenge in itself

[sullen kestrel]

I hope to get the medal too

Didnt rlly feel like trying, still dont but idk if id be able to get it in other types, maybe psychic but I need more supports

[rapid pebble]

Plus i don't think i have many banner exclusive water pairs i have NC Serena and i think that's it.

I got SS blue too

[sullen kestrel]

I have CSerena, KriSS, Eusine, and Archie but electric is just Ash and Marnie

Oh yeah SS Blue as well

[rapid pebble]

A bit more prepared for electric i got HJasmine, Ash, Nemona

Will be picking N

Don't see people commenting much on SS Hau so i'm guessing he is not that good?

[atomic rain]

he is

[sullen kestrel]

I think he doesnt have that great dps? Prob good for dual striking but idk

[atomic rain]

but he has to be used strategically

[sullen kestrel]

Oh yeah same, so 5 water vs 3 electric limiteds

[rapid pebble]

I see

Sucks to miss NC blue that electric rebuff is gonna make a difference

[tardy quartz]

See, unlike Water HS, i’m actually going for top 100 this time so… have fun :)

[chilly flame]

yea that's why i included you this time

[onyx crystal]

Well which of the staff team has Zapdos?

debating if I’m really gonna candy Nemona for this

[chilly flame]

I know runner got one of them

idk if it was for leaf or blue

I think it was blue tho

[stray dust]

Damn good luck sand toes

I feel no motivation for this unless they introduce new medals

[chilly flame]

Ty 🙏

I said it before during the water one but my motivation is being petty that other people I know are doing better than me

[stray dust]

Honestly it is a good thing there's no top 100 medal so I don't need to go through rng hell agn

I'm guessing this time there will be a lot of ss elesa leg up rng fishing

[haughty haven]

SS Elesa + Nemona team be like

[onyx crystal]

failed embed

[grand perch]

I am

SPID

[forest ferry]

SSTred, sshau and Vkris are great for surge and Marnie fights

It's just Vkris and SSTred are better at it than sshau

Coz Kris has better way to ramp evasion and SSTred is just SSTred

[cyan tusk]

Im attempting a dps hau grid on Dazzling gleam (WP9,SE5,HH) and see how it works on marnie. I’ll put a nuker next to him

[forest ferry]

Only mid is fairy weak tho

And the dmg difference between DG and Bmove isn't that big

[cyan tusk]

That’s why I say attempt

It’s paper consideration, ready to change my mind once the event drops and can test stuff out

[forest ferry]

If only sshau had wish MPR

Only lele got the privilege out of the tapus

[cyan tusk]

Bc it’s the most common terrain

[chilly kayak]

it's also a bit redundant anyway since she has Weird World on her grid

[forest ferry]

You wouldn't pick weird world over terrain MPR for her

Extend range dps with aoe nuke

Well outside this HS, I don't rly use sshau unless team also has ssmina anyways
Still wish he had it, would make 200 BP spam in HS more workable

[red pendant]

If my calculations are correct, I can EX 6 sync pairs and then have enough Ressources left to EX a non-Electric fave

Oh, forgot to ping @forest ferry, whoops

[forest ferry]

👀

Imma be honest
That roster looks sad

So for dps
Zekrom (2/5) , ash (1/5) , elesa (5/5) are strong units

Especially ash is pretty much set for Marnie stage coz that stage has reduced physical damage

As for supports you have
BPsurge, hjasmine, Lelesa, BP clemont, Sonia

So EX em all

Since I personally don't see you using any other supports as tanks over em for any fight

Now we need to consider 2 more dps and 5 more 3rd slot units

Can you share your limited dps for offtype candidates

Preferably any striker and tech that's like S or above

Coz I don't see 1/5 volkner, hau or BP soph be better than offtype options

[red pendant]

speaking of Marnie, I hope I'll be able to get her tomorrow thanks to the free ticket

that way, I'd have an easy Volkner candidate

[forest ferry]

Here's the thing with Marnie

That volkner stage is only mid with dark weak

So you still need a good aoe nuke for that stage

[red pendant]

well, true

[forest ferry]

Like how thunder Archie was used with other aoe dpses vs misty

In water HS

[red pendant]

oh yeah, I just noticed: SS Elesa is completely excluded in that list

[forest ferry]

If you don't have nemona she's underwhelming as a tank

Coz low HP and no team defensive buffs

Cant take sync with her as a tank in team

[red pendant]

fair, considering I prolly won't be able to pre-sync anything

[red pendant]

also also, I luckily have Ash and Elesa already EX'd, so only N is left in this DPS list...and I was considering EX-ing him, but I was told that EX-ing him is kinda a waste if he's not 3/5, which is why I held off for now

...I mean, I can technically bring him to 3/5 as well since I have 2 Strike candies, but I was adviced against that, too

[forest ferry]

Well outside HS
You'd never use him

For HS aoe nuke still helps

Iirc he does get some sync tiles at 2/5 and follow through on grid

[red pendant]

I actually have those tiles, funnily enough

[forest ferry]

Which is why I am asking for offregion dps options

50k+ with smth like hau is pretty hard

[red pendant]

I actually have Hau EX'd as well, funnily enough

[red pendant]

this is, like, my ENTIRE list of 5* electric-type sync pairs

the only one not shown in that list is OG Surge (the one with Voltorb/Electrode), who is still a 4*

[forest ferry]

For surge:

Volkner, BP clemont , hau/BP sophcles

For volkner:

Clemont/eleSSa, Sonia , zekrom

For elesa:

Elesa, BP surge, sophocles

For clemont:

Lelesa, MCchu, strike dps

For Marnie

ash, celesa, Hjasmine

For now

[red pendant]

...wait, which Sophocles?

oh

nevermind

[forest ferry]

So yea
Clemont stage might need offtype dps

Other stages look potentially fine

As of now

[red pendant]

damn, offtype dps...that means I'd be getting less score by default, tho

that's not good

[forest ferry]

Do you have any strong ground dps?

That stage has 2 mobs with ground weakness

Or any of the uber striker?

[red pendant]

...my strongest ground DPS is Naomi

[forest ferry]

Well ig then you just have to run hau/BP soph in that spot

Oh yea
Hau doesn't buff crit

For surge:

Volkner, BP clemont , BP sophcles

For volkner:

Clemont/eleSSa, Sonia , zekrom

For elesa:

Elesa, BP surge, sophocles

For clemont:

Lelesa, MCchu, Hau

For Marnie

ash, celesa, Hjasmine

There
Done I think

[red pendant]

hmm...I might be able to replace Clemont/EleSSa with Marnie in the Volkner stage once I get her tomorrow...which would allow me to replace MCchu with EleSSa to further buff Hau

[forest ferry]

That stage has x evasion

[red pendant]

you mean Volkner's stage?

[forest ferry]

Yes

Actually BP clemont and Lelesa buff accuracy for team

But the problem is Lelesa wants to be in clemont stage

Coz it's a purely physical stage

[red pendant]

and BP Clemont needs to be with Volkner due to sync grid

[forest ferry]

Well BP clemont wants to be with surge
Coz other units have better healing potential

And BP clemont is like one of the bulkiest tanks in terrain

And surge stage favors Eterrain

You can run Marnie for that fight instead of eleSSa/clemont if you don't mind resetting for misses

[red pendant]

hmm...in that case, I'd probably need to rethink who to get with the free ticket...

[forest ferry]

Well Marnie is still free lodge

Picking her is instant 4 coins, 15 PUs and other shit

[red pendant]

...well, problem is: I'm not really interested in Marnie's lodge alt either...

[forest ferry]

Well
Imma be honest

Picking zekrom 3/5 is not worth losing out goodies from lodge

I'd rather 3/5 that ash and rush for 80k pts just from himself

[red pendant]

I sadly can't 3/5 Ash, though

I only have 2 Strike Candies

which means I can only bring him to 2/5 at best

[forest ferry]

2 is all you need for 3/5 tho

Well not that I recommend candying for HS in first place

[red pendant]

...I don't think you understand: if I only have 2 Strike Candies, then that means I can only use one

because I also want to keep another one on standby

[forest ferry]

Uhhh yea....well just invest on stuff I recommended then wait and see how HS goes

Only EX zekrom, Lelesa, BP clemont , BP surge

[red pendant]

...ya know, with how often I use BP Surge in general, I'll definitely EX him first

alright, with BP Surge and BP Clemont now EX'd, I am now at 344 and 92 ...I better wait until I did tomorrow's CS before I continue then

[forest ferry]

Oh yea I forgot to mention BP soph....

[chilly flame]

@onyx crystal I remember you said you were thinking about candying nemona

What move level would you be going to

[onyx crystal]

I ain't spending 3x candies on her 1/5.

[chilly flame]

Oh she’s at 1/5

[onyx crystal]

Imma have to spend 2x because she sucks otherwise. 🫠

[red pendant]

that's because Nemona sucks in general

runs

[chilly flame]

L take

[rough forum]

She's definitely not a standard character

I didn't scout her, waiting for a better rerun

She looks fun but lmao I'm not wasting many candies or going to pity for extra copies in current Poma economy just to get a unit to work remotely well

[main pulsar]

I thought you were the one defending her when I was saying she was bad

[forest ferry]

But she's good

at 5/5

[signal needle]

do ppl grid their units with Head Start 1 for this event or not

[cyan tusk]

I did leg up 1 Archie

[gilded totem]

question: for the upcoming event, can u recommend me some good supports and dps for the event (I don't have Neo Blue yet)

and uhhh I have Nemona at 2/5, is it worth candying her to 3/5 for this event?

[rough ginkgo]

Can you provide your roster?
I wouldn’t advise candying a unit just for this event unless you want to flex a really high rank

[gilded totem]

@rough ginkgo here

I'm considering between Nemona (2/5 to 3/5) or Classic Elesa (1/5 to 3/5)

should I ex Zebrastrika Elesa?

[fresh sapphire]

Elesa and Zebstrika is a good EX

[gilded totem]

hmm idk for the high score event though

[rough ginkgo]

Are you planning on going for a really high rank/score?

[gilded totem]

as high as I can

well I don't have the skill like others, but I would still want to try my best6

[grand perch]

Final member secured woo

That said I used Nemona for the first time in a serious battle and didn’t really click with her play style haha

Oh well

[onyx crystal]

How do i keep Inertia

[bold pond]

Will this be enough to clear this?

[ocean warren]

yes absoultely

lol

by a long shot

[sullen kestrel]

Should I put N somewhere?

[onyx crystal]

Probably in place of Mc Pika or Clemont. It’d be easier if you labeled which teams are for which opponents. I’m guessing it’s in order of how they’re listed though.

Main problem of 1/5 is gauge.

[main pulsar]

That’s a lil too much energy for me to shave off

Also does N really do more damage than mc

[atomic rain]

i mean

yeah?

bolt strike is like 160bp vs like 60

47bp vs 189

still doesnt even get close with pr9

[onyx crystal]

You can only keep pika in pr range between syncs. Would need to see if any aoe is thrown out to consider it

[sullen kestrel]

Team 1’s goal is dont get hit; accuracy debuffs and evasion buffs

And yeah its in order, that way I dont have to change the preset name for every HS/special CS

[atomic rain]

1/5 n will outdamage a 5/5 potionchu assuming paralysis synergy and pr9 is active

[signal needle]

Lel Potionchu dps What

[atomic rain]

its not good yeah

[forest ferry]

Imma go gambling vs volkner

[worn bronze]

no 3rd electric pair against Elesa?

[forest ferry]

No limited electric support/nemona

Actually

Just realised eleSSa only has 20% para chance

Surge > eleSSa

[onyx crystal]

ex surge, love to see it

[sullen kestrel]

Idt N has those at 1/5, unless u mean potionchu has them

[onyx crystal]

Potionchu has PR14 & PS5, so it has 290% ↑ on Thunderbolt... an 88 power move at 5/5 gridded entirely for it.

[main pulsar]

How does that math against N

Assuming active buffs

[onyx crystal]

[(stats x 1.8)] x [power * (1 + multipliers)] x conditions to get the raw value.
So 474 (with gear+grid) x 1.8 = 853.
88 power x 3.1 (cs2 ls) = 272
853 x 272 x 1.5 (crit) = 348,024 raw

[main pulsar]

Er

So pika does 348,024?

How much does N

[onyx crystal]

1/5 non-ex N.
does about 305,371 raw.

would be 330,103 raw.

If you divide the raw value by 2x the target's def value, you'll get an approxmiation of the highest damage roll.

So yes, 5★ 5/5 Pikachu does out damage 1/5 N's Bolt Strike... when the target is paralzyed & their HP is equal to or less than 33%.

(I should mention the Pikachu I tested was promoted to 5★, pretty sure 3★ is weaker.)

[main pulsar]

Mine is also 5* but mmm

That’s hard

[onyx crystal]

I'm wondering if I should just use Lt. Surge instead of Hau vs Clemont.
He could debuff Sp.Atk, and boost Ash's Kanto Spirit.
But does virtually no dps. :/

[rapid pebble]

You seen to quite literaly have all banner exclusive electric pairs you're good

[onyx crystal]

https://imgur.com/a/4k70Noc
Gotta fix that Marnie grid.

[elfin spade]

If I grinded do you all think I could get top 100 with this roster (I can EX a few) or am I tripping?

Actually I think I’m tripping

I think I’d need to candy like hau/nemona/red to get close

[onyx crystal]

Top 100 score will jump significantly as time goes on, so its hard to say. Also willingness to reset for perfect rng.

[elfin spade]

Yeah I’m defs tripping

I think I could get top 1000 tho

[sullen kestrel]

I hope im able to get into top 10k this time last time I didnt rlly care but now I want to get it over with, esp since idk what other types I could do it with

Psychic I still need more supports, and water is my biggest roster

Electric I atleast have 16 units tho

[sullen pier]

Just make sure you can compete with rat users

[sullen kestrel]

I have one rat atleast

[rough ginkgo]

🤝

[severe pollen]

🤝

I also only have 1 of the rats

[crude iron]

Me with 0 rats and my only limited electric are N and Blue: yeah this isn’t happening

Anyways is blues grid important for going for 180k+ here if my only other limited electric is 1/5 N

Considering how shafted f2p electric is aside from like Sonia

[forest ferry]

180k doesn't need much effort

It's less than 40k pts per run

You can always go 1 offtype, 2 ontype if your roster is limiting you

[crude iron]

do we have a tl;dr quick note thing like we had this for water HS but for this HS?
Misty - Special stage
Marlon - Mix. Bring tech
Lana - Mix. Need a strong dps
Nessa - Physical. Plain and simple
Archie - Physical. No special dps

like, what damage type they do (special/phys) and any special needs

[ocean warren]

it's in the pins, have the reflex to check in all channels beforehand just in case

[crude iron]

i just see an image with a move list and gimmick list, unless im missing something dont really know at a glance where to put what tanks/dps

[ocean warren]

the graphic image lists the moves, stats and gimmicks

you can tell from the sync move if they're physical or special

if their sync move says beam it's special
if it says impact it's physical

sometimes that's not an option

so you just look at the moves instead

but they also say "watch out for these" litteraly

[crude iron]

ok, does that mean those 3 are generally the strongest offensively? or are there big moves to avoid from surge and marnie too?

sorry for the questions, it just is awkward prepping for a type im rather shafted on favs for so far

[ocean warren]

they all have the same offensive stats from the looks of it, it's hard to tell who's the most dangerous
i see Wild Charge on Elesa with Standfast which could be a problem

[crude iron]

dunno if itd be worth exing elesa or hau for this event when i prob wont use them outside of this. dunno if the golem soph does good nuke or not

[ocean warren]

you should probably just not stress about it now and wait for people to share teamcomps

it's just too early

10 days away and it lasts 3 weeks

[crude iron]

alright

didnt realize itd last a whole 3 weeks, thats a pretty long time. good to hear that ill have plenty of time to do it

[spark storm]

they all have strong moves: surge has steel beam, volkner discharge, elesa wild charge, clemont thunder and marnie seed bomb and crunch

and except surge all fights have one side with giga impact

[onyx crystal]

So I'm thinking of this for the Volkner Stage: https://i.imgur.com/iqaXA9X.png
Problem is, it's not possible to afford Disheartening Shock, Inertia, and Dashing Team in the same grid.
Even if I go straight up the left-side and skip the upper sync node, I still have -1 energy.

Still at 61 energy 💀

[sturdy glen]

This combo feels counterintuitive for me:

• I would use jasmine for boosting a sync rather than a move with her SEup
• can’t Volkner be used for tanking? I heard that he’s good for that

Also about Marnie grid, why lucky entry when super preparation costs less?

[haughty haven]

@onyx crystal

[atomic rain]

volkner only tanks if he has buffed defenses just electrorepulsion isnt enough

[onyx crystal]

apparently I've been blind this whole time

[sturdy glen]

Yeah I know but adding jasmine is overkill… why not a weaker support?

[atomic rain]

because theres like 3 electric supports that actually buff defenses

and hjasmine is pretty crucial on higher strength anyway

volkner at that point cant tank reliably

[atomic rain]

its sonia hjasmine and nc blue

[onyx crystal]

I have:
Clemont with Red and Nemona vs Surge.
Sonia with N + Sophocles vs Elesa.
ElesaLodge with Ash + Hau vs Clemont
ncBlue with ssHau and nyVolkner vs Marnie.

The only remaining supports would be Lt. Surge (bp) and ssElesa.

[atomic rain]

and like

sonia is also pretty damn good

[forest ferry]

With Marnie vs volkner

How are you wiping the sides?

[onyx crystal]

with prayers to arceus :3

[forest ferry]

Like if smth like Archie needed external help to wipe sides vs misty
Marnie isn't gonna carry herself

[onyx crystal]

If I'm not using volkner there it changes the whole thing.

[forest ferry]

Also does hjas have accuracy buffs?

[onyx crystal]

Volkner does.

Oh yea

Well my volkner is set to pair with sshau so I can't seperate him

[sturdy glen]

Clement vs surge wtf
That shit heals a ton and u waste him?

[forest ferry]

Clemont has ER3 and both defensive stat buff

With rat you can hit 100k vs surge

[onyx crystal]

Terrain is good on Surge, so Red is going there, and he has Electrorepulsion for tanking + mixed defensive buffing since that stage in particular is mixed.
