High Score

[candid cobalt]

4/5 gives him more self sufficiency

[maiden canopy]

And Piercing Blows is kinda useful too

[true sparrow]

You shouldn't be candying units to make them "less bad" if in the end they're gonna sit in your box doing nothing

Focus your resources in units you're actually gonna use

[red pendant]

But I know how I can possibly get closer to an answer!

Hold on, lemme go to #poma-questions

[hardy fog]

Hexxa seems like you have 5 strong DPS to build around. Ash, Zebra Elesa, N, Bp Soph, Marnie

[candid cobalt]

Mmm

That's true

Time to do some rerouting then

[hardy fog]

N defaults Sonia - and I think they fit well vs Elesa

[maiden canopy]

Welp, I might do 800 STR with my Lt. Surge team because it has Red and EleSSa, gonna do some sync CD shenanigans with it

Syncing until I die

Tho BP Clemont might be actually squishy on that amount of STR

Man, I wish I had H. Jasmine

[candid cobalt]

The main reason I have N against Surge is cos N doesn't really perform well offtype

So having the e terrain really helps

[maiden canopy]

Ironically enough, H. Jasmine is the only electric support I don't have

[hardy fog]

According to grading list. Clemont is best against Volkner (only graded A for that 1 fight) but I don't understand why he wont have similar grading as Soph since they do similar?

[hardy fog]

I mean I only used him for the first time in LG, he was smashing it with piercing blow lol

[maiden canopy]

Which Sophocles?

[hardy fog]

the classic one

the ball

lol

[maiden canopy]

I mean, OG Sophocles's only niche is paralysis and flinch bot

Can't really do massive damage IMO

[hardy fog]

This is where Im at

the potionchu seems like a good fit for lodge elesa since her def is low

[tardy vector]

How is striker nc Blue ? Would his damage be enough to carry ?

[red pendant]

I should prolly mention: the reason I don't really use N much right now is because he's...kinda not very good right now, and I already have better alternatives most of the time, meaning he ends up getting delegated to hyper specific events like Legendary Gauntlet or...well, this

[candid cobalt]

Probably won't be enough to carry

[hardy fog]

hmmmm double ex support sync with HJas / SSElesa to get Marnie pumping sounds interesting

I guess I will just need to try tomorrow 😂

[red pendant]

That's why it's difficult for me to tell if I actually end up using N more after candying him

Because it would entirely depend on if he'd become actually good enough for me to use him more often

[candid cobalt]

Ok I've got new teams

[hardy fog]

I just feel like this candy convo should be in G Strategy 😂

[candid cobalt]

Lt Surge (No Healing): Volkner, N, BP Surge
Volkner (No Rules): Marnie, BP Clemont, SS Elesa
Elesa (Must Paralyse): Sonia, Elesa, Sophocles
Clemont (No Techs): Ash, BP Soph, Lodge Elesa
Marnie (No Phys): NC Blue, Hau, Clemont

How does this sound

[red pendant]

I mean, the topic began because of my roster for High Score

[true sparrow]

I don't think N is a unit that improves a lot from grid, unless you're going 5/5, if you consider him underwhelming now, I don't see it changing a lot at 3/5

[red pendant]

Welp, no candy for N then

[candid cobalt]

I mean tbf

He does become more self efficient at 3/5 and onwards

[hardy fog]

the thing is at 3/5 he is only nuking for only a little more than Bp Soph

[red pendant]

What about NY Volkner? How much would he improve from 1/5 to 2/5? And would he become useful for #1128052735967764621 as well?

[candid cobalt]

Ooh

[hardy fog]

but if Bp Soph get that explosion off though 😂

[candid cobalt]

NY Volkner heavily relies on Super Effective damage

[red pendant]

Ah, rip

No NY Volkner then either

[candid cobalt]

Yeahh sadly NY Volkner doesn't really do too well offtype

[sullen pier]

Like Runner said N is only worth candying if you plan to raise him to 5/5

Focus Rush is 4/5

[true sparrow]

No, Volkner doesn't heavily relies on super effective

[candid cobalt]

Does he not?

[red pendant]

Oh yeah, my BP Soph is only 1/5 atm, although I should get a new BP Ticket fairly soon

[maiden canopy]

He relies on syncing often

[candid cobalt]

I thought his whole kit revolved around super effective damage

[red pendant]

Oh?

[candid cobalt]

Huh ig I'm wrong then

I take that back

[maiden canopy]

I mean, there's Sonia to help him but that's about it

And maybe BP Surge

[sullen pier]

I mean generally

Not just for this HS

[maiden canopy]

Yeah, that too

[true sparrow]

He's certainly much better with it due to se up, but it's not like his utility or dmg drops as units with super duper would

[candid cobalt]

Ah

[true sparrow]

It's like N is better at super effective so he can use with his nuke or Anni Lillie, etc

But his kit doesn't depend on it to work well

[candid cobalt]

Right, ok

[maiden canopy]

The question is, which is better for NY Volkner? EX support sync or him syncing first for ET?

[true sparrow]

Ex support, HS if high point is a prolonged battle, you need supp ex to go well later in the battle

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmmm yeah, fair

I honestly feel like OG Clemont's potential is wasted on my Volkner team, I wonder what adjustments I could make to my teams

[true sparrow]

Just to complement about Volkner, I only consider N to be a better unit than him when N is 5/5, and if you have NC Blue to go with him, it' a great pairing kinda like Sonia is for N.

[hardy fog]

the grading list has every other Support other than NC Blue at B or below. Why is that?

[maiden canopy]

Because of the conditions

[sullen pier]

Electric type doesnt have many good tanks, or with limited healing

[maiden canopy]

And Blue can synergize well with other electric units

Even if they're physical

[hardy fog]

I see so Im guessing Marnie spams AOE

[maiden canopy]

Marnie only has Snarl

But A. Raichu has Surf

[signal needle]

Cute clemont team

[onyx crystal]

So, for people wondering about where to use electric terrain. For high strength you’ll want terrain to end before the opponent’s sync. In order to achieve this, you are required to deny queues. In the water event this was done via Flinch.

Sophocles, Volkner, and Nemona are the most reliable flinchers.

The Lt. surge is the safest stage for terrain extension. Marnie’s stage lacks electric moves, but the sync is electric.

[sage galleon]

What eggmons are good for this event?

[forest ferry]

None

They all suk

[sage galleon]

[forest ferry]

The typing in itself also cancer coz a lot of units are limited

So if you struggle, just run 1 offtype and end your suffering sooner

And wait for better typing

[candid cobalt]

Grass HS when

That's the only other type I'm willing to do

Big no to all the other types

[forest ferry]

Grass HS

[sage galleon]

Might have too, but I'll try building mono-Electric to see what you guys suggest

[forest ferry]

Well
If you are at a point where you have to run smth like hau for dps

It's already a sign offtype is better

[candid cobalt]

I'm confident in my NC Blue and Hau team

Nooooo

[sage galleon]

Well then.

[forest ferry]

I am throwing towel at a stage by using Anabel

Coz all good electric tanks are limited

And ssblue , SSmorty are electric weak

[sage galleon]

Vs Surge and Volkner I'm confident in

[candid cobalt]

Ooh you've got a decent pool

[sage galleon]

[forest ferry]

Might have to use offtype dps

[candid cobalt]

The main thing you're lacking is damage tho...

[forest ferry]

Tanks look fine tho

[candid cobalt]

Who are u using against Surge?

[sage galleon]

I used the Surge to destroy the Surge

i totally didn't forget the image

[candid cobalt]

Yoo same team as me

[forest ferry]

I have rats so volk is against Marnie

[onyx crystal]

So many people lack vKris, I bet she’ll be in the top 5 though

I’m surprised she’s not shoehorned into this new banner.

[forest ferry]

Vkris so busted

Evasion hax and terrain

But I don't have her

They seem to not want to rerun variety banners

Vlyra was also great during water HS

[lunar loom]

I have her at 1/5 from a single daily pull on that banner, debating on whether to invest in her for this event

[sage galleon]

What good off-type damage dealer immune to Marnie's status debuffs?

[candid cobalt]

You have NC Blue so you could just use him against Marnie

[onyx crystal]

I'm curious if Terrain Extension is going to backfire. ssHau + vKris seems like a good combo, but not sure how ssHau team prevents enemy sync under terrain. During water HS it was very close with just regular rain duration.

[candid cobalt]

We have similar pairs so I can show you my teams

[onyx crystal]

If the tank has Lithe or Status Immunity, Go Viral should fail to trigger.

[sage galleon]

Ah man, I mean stat debuffs

I'm stoopid

[onyx crystal]

Crunch is only a 20% chance. But nearly all of the electric supports have Unbending. And NC Blue has imprevious.

[sage galleon]

I thought she had Snarl?

[forest ferry]

Just reset if she uses snarl too much

Or run dauntless dps

[sage galleon]

How's this? I'll upgrade later

[forest panther]

Not optimized yet but I'm thinking of this for my first chill run

Lt. Surge: Lodge Elesa, Nemona, SST Red
Volkner: BP Clemont, BP Lt. Surge, Marnie
Elesa: Sonia, N, Volkner
Clemont: Holiday Jasmine, SS Elesa, Ash
Marnie: NC Blue, Classic Elesa, Variety Kris

[onyx crystal]

rare vKris haver

Lodge Elesa on the Surge fight. Interesting. I keep pushing her towards the vsClemont stage.

[forest panther]

Yeah not particularly sold on this one, but since it's the no healing, I'm mostly trying to brute it quickly with Nemona/Red combo so the support is mostly a quick meat shield. Might mean strength have to be relatively low. Again, mostly a first chill run to gauge the water tomorrow, I'll refine a proper plan later in the event ^^

[leaden peak]

Would it be possible for me to try and go for medal with this if so someone please help build teams (can ex anyone if needed)

[forest panther]

medal sounds a bit tough with this limited pool but definitely claiming the max rewards is doable first 👍

[forest ferry]

Medal only needed 46k per run last time

So it should be doable considering that's a 3/5 sshau

And Ash

Also,oh god the pixels

[spark storm]

and if you have other uber pairs 46k is largely doable with one offtype

[forest panther]

I guess that's doable, depends how many players tryhard with the big Uber invested pairs though, we'll see with time, no need to stress over rank at first. Have fun and aim for your best first

[odd abyss]

could i potentially get medal?

[signal needle]

Event imminent

[signal needle]

Basically if im using SS Hau i better bring potion ya

[rough ginkgo]

You could sync with not Hau first
If you plan to sync with him second, you could intentionally not quadqueue

[signal needle]

But then i dont get the benefits of his sync

[rough ginkgo]

Sync with a support ex first

[onyx crystal]

Potion won’t save you from insta-KO. The issue is you can only stagger so long.

[rough ginkgo]

Any suggestions?
I’m planning on EXing BP Clemont and maybe Marnie

Edit: they have resilience and Blue’ll probably flinch them so I’m considering replacing Soph with MCPika vs Elesa

[onyx crystal]

Surge.

So the TL;DR
Surge - Mainly Special with a Physical Side (no electric moves, good for terrain)
Volkner - Special with 2 physical sides
Elesa - mostly physical
Clemont - Special mainly
Marnie - Physical and special with no Electric moves, except the sync (so terrain good here)

[onyx crystal]

I’d swap Jasmine and LElesa

I’m surprised your not including N or Volkner

[rough ginkgo]

Is there a chance that Volkner might just choose not to use X Evasion All? That’s mainly why I used LElesa vs Volk

[onyx crystal]

My solution to that was to use volkner to raise team’s accuracy with his TM

Link to my teams: #1128052735967764621 message
Subbed out Hau for PotionChu

[signal needle]

Or unless i put Ss Hau to Surge stage

And then

Sst Red to OHKO another stage

But i thought the consensus was that SST Red best for Surge so

[signal needle]

GOOD

I was putting ss hau to Marnie

Ok worries are over

[frosty glacier]

Any suggestions tips for my teams? These are like all my electric units. I'm happy just to get main rewards this time around

[topaz sleet]

i suggest leveling up clemont

on the real separate ash and champ blue, they are both broken enough to carry a team on their own

[onyx crystal]

The elesa fight is all physical, I’d swap electrode and heliolisk

[frosty glacier]

ok. thanks for the advice!! Can HJasmine/ Lt Surg Voltorb and Volkner even beat Volkner???

[sullen pier]

Volkner lacks damage to be a solo dmg dealer

Surge too

[frosty glacier]

I have a feeling I'll have to dia down Volkner and Clemon quite a bit

[frosty glacier]

yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking. That team won't be able to do any significant damage

[onyx crystal]

No N or Marnie?

[frosty glacier]

I don't have any other Electric units

(I chose RAihan... )

[signal needle]

LVL 1

[crude iron]

I’ve got enough mats to 5star one of the four stars, leaning toward togedemaru or whatever but I assume that won’t even be needed for 180k

[signal needle]

Probably doesant matter very much for this event if u 5 star any of these

[frosty glacier]

I can obviously increase the levels. no need to focus on that 😄

[signal needle]

U cant really do damage against volkner

Swap Ash into Vs Volkner team

[mellow thistle]

Anything to make these better?

I feel like swapping Sonia and BPSurge

[crude iron]

which boss should i use N on probably? and would Sonia be overkill with him?

also whats the 4 salvageable f2p tanks out of there

from what i understand theres... sonia... bp clemont... bp elesa (? might be wrong on this guess)... and someone else

[austere ferry]

Will initially go with this lineup.

[nova anchor]

Just checking here lol

Gl boyz

[tardy quartz]

Let’s see how long this lasts

[red pendant]

alright, so for the High Score event, I need 5 teams...and 4 of those teams need to be specialized:

• one team with no healer
• one team with a huge focus on status conditions and interference
• one team with no tech sync pair
• one team with someone who attacks using Sp. Atk

Ash might be a good fit for Marnie, all things considered

[silent urchin]

meh, he might be better for clemont

most of the strong electric types are techs

p sure the strongest electric type strikers are like

Ash N and Electivolkner

[gleaming raven]

Elesa is solid with PB at least

[tardy quartz]

Took 25 minutes, but I have lost my spot. Fun while it lasted

[atomic hamlet]

who do you reccomend exing for the event

And what team i can do

[silent urchin]

depends on the move level

like if ur marnie is 3/5 that may be worth EXing for the tech EX

[atomic hamlet]

She is 1/5

[silent urchin]

hm maybe not that then

[atomic hamlet]

Wait let me show you the move level

[silent urchin]

what about volkner or N

[silent urchin]

tapu koko might be worth EXing if u can get him to 3/5

if not, then SS Elesa works too

[atomic hamlet]

i can indeed get him 3/5

i can ex 3 units

[silent urchin]

def SS Elesa for one of them then

for the support EX

if ur willing to candy tapu koko then that can be another EX

as for the 3rd im unsure, u may need someone else's opinion on that

[cyan tusk]

Sheesh that’s harder than I thought

[atomic hamlet]

Did all 3 of them + 3/5 clemont and magnetite

[austere delta]

jesus how did you do 18k difficulty

[silent urchin]

yea clemont and magneton is a good unit too

[atomic hamlet]

And 3/5 hau too

Does the hau grid in the doc work

[glossy ravine]

Me: a ratless pleb

[royal tiger]

Against Volkner?

[glossy ravine]

I'm gonna do poorly

[silent urchin]

surge

it says at the top

[royal tiger]

Guess i just suck xd

[cyan tusk]

That’s surge

Volkner next

[tardy quartz]

The current scores

That’s after 1-2 runs on each

[silent urchin]

i need them grids bro 😭

[maiden canopy]

Damn, my team against Surge can't even kill him at 600 STR

[mellow thistle]

What's the average strength to go for to get total 180k?

[weary rivet]

~300

Can even go lower

[mellow thistle]

Thanks

[cyan tusk]

I’ll share everything once I’m done with a round of all

Bc I’m testing and changing stuff

[haughty haven]

Why side mon Pawmot in Elesa stage seem so bulky for 1/5 N?

Oh i forgot para it

[drifting igloo]

What points is recommended if you just want to get the rewards?

[whole finch]

Can someone help me do teambuilding?

[haughty haven]

Test Run

[tardy quartz]

Yeah N doesn’t bypass that Para restriction unfortunately

[haughty haven]

Hmm 200str Elesa has 1k lest point than 300str Volner

Maybe lower str for less atk hit seem ok

[sleek crystal]

Is 250 str too much

[whole finch]

Probably lol

[sleek crystal]

Main problem with every team is gauge

[red pendant]

well, Ash is specifically Special Strike

[silent urchin]

was able to do it with 15k

[flint geyser]

eh good enough

[silent urchin]

i know that

[red pendant]

and one of the opponents in the High Score event wants to be taken down by someone who attacks with Sp. Atk

which is why Ash would be preferable

[grand perch]

180k points reached woo

[whole finch]

Can someome help me do teambuilding?

[glossy ravine]

So how hard is this without rats

[grand perch]

… overshot my target by 16,5k though

[flint geyser]

also

[grand perch]

Depends on where you use them

[silent urchin]

there's also tech special attackers tho. not saying Ash HAS to be used somewhere, but it def would help in the stage that debuffs techs

[flint geyser]

nemona dps is uh idk

[whole finch]

Damn, noone?

[grand perch]

Ash made Marnie disgustingly easy

[grand perch]

Also THIS

[whole finch]

[glossy ravine]

Wym

Again I have no rats

[grand perch]

They make certain fights disgustingly easy as I’ve said

[sleek crystal]

200str also too much

[red pendant]

oh yeah, I also forgot I have Hau

[flint geyser]

i used rats and koko against elesa

[whole finch]

175 then 150

[red pendant]

maybe I can use Hau against Marnie

[atomic hamlet]

Pain

[grand perch]

To reach 180k I think I used… 200, 180, 200, 200, and 100

Oof

I hated using Nemona so much VS Surge haha

[whole finch]

Can someome help me do teambuilding?

[grand perch]

I needed Volkner’s flinchhax to win

As far as team building goes I just used the pinned recommendations on where to slot in your units and got all rewards… with some annoyance

[whole finch]

Oh ok thank you

[grand perch]

It’s the pinned google docs thing

[flint geyser]

nvm i used rats and koko for volkner

[silent urchin]

thats a bit overkill kek

[flint geyser]

i should have increased the strength

[whole finch]

I forgot i have this

[fair drift]

hello high score chat

[flint geyser]

hi

[atomic hamlet]

even with 4 endure i still die 😭

[whole finch]

hi nov

[atomic hamlet]

Close tho

[fair drift]

don't mind me, 'm gonna be completely useless and steal teams

[atomic hamlet]

that's also what i wanted to

[gray moth]

I dont have 15 elec pairs

[atomic hamlet]

But then it's all sc jasmine and sst red

[flint geyser]

Would +600 strength work

[silent urchin]

this isnt much of a beginner friendly event tbh

[austere delta]

How do yall do +600 strength and pass with flying color while mine still struggle with +150 strength 😭

[flint geyser]

rats 🧍‍♂️

[austere delta]

what if I don't have any following rat

[flint geyser]

sucks to be you

[atomic hamlet]

I can't even do 400

[austere delta]

400????

[atomic hamlet]

+400 strength

[flint geyser]

i did 400 on kokorat

[austere delta]

fug

[austere delta]

mate i couldn't do half of you

this event is tough

[flint geyser]

nemona dps is a bad idea

[grand perch]

God yeah

Nemona can’t do a lot if she’s not nuking

Thunder punch is just sad

[hollow aurora]

Seems I had to swap teams that were meant for that opponent for 180k like one team meant for clemont, went to marnie instead.

[grand perch]

Done with our second High Score event, Electric. Since there’s no new rewards for reaching top 10k players, I decided to just aim for all fixed rewards at 180k points. In order of how I did each fight and their strength level

200 Surge: I do NOT get how to use Nemona, or Speed sync pairs in general effectively. It didn’t help that EleSSa isn’t EX yet. Had to rely on Volkner’s flinch hax.
200 Volkner: Similarly I didn’t quite understand how to use Marnie, but the fight was less of an annoyance. Somehow. Could be the defensive buffs HJasmine provided, and the super effective plus buffs. Clemont slowing down the enemy saved me in the end when I could spam moves before the enemy had enough move gauge to attack my lone Marnie lol.
180 Elesa: Man N is old at 1/5, could probably have switched Sonia and BP Surge’s placement here. Funnily enough the MVP was BP Sophocles, whose Last Word explosion when he dies killed the sides and lets N mop up the center.
200 Clemont: By contrast Elesa was never in any danger thanks to defensive buffs from Sonia and LElesa and kept nuking the heck out of Clemont. Definitely could have switched Sonia and BP Surge.
100 Marnie: I could have chosen lower points and still would have overshot my points goal haha. Anyway Ash kills Marnie so easily it’s disgusting.

[flint geyser]

and you can only use double shock twice

just use her as sync support ig

[grand perch]

Yep

[spark storm]

So this time 1k str is doable full on type

[flint geyser]

oh.

[grand perch]

Of course it’s those 3 lol

100k for a single fight is juicy but is it the best investment?

[spark storm]

of course not

but it's fun to do

[unkempt path]

LMAO

yeah, Red and Ash busted

[vocal wren]

Idk what to do, most of my units are uninvested 4 stars. Even 150 strength seems difficult.

[flint geyser]

what place do i have to be to get the medal

[unkempt path]

is Tapu Koko decent in the stage?

[flint geyser]

i want flexing rights

[spark storm]

top 10k

don't know how much points that would be tho

will see at the end

[flint geyser]

ok cool

[unkempt path]

we all want the medal
Kinda annoying it's in the General Mission

[flint geyser]

i think i can get it

[spark storm]

definitely not enough, fyi it was around 230k points for water hs

[grand perch]

Bear in mind that it’s the first day

[unkempt path]

isn't 180k the max to get all the rewards?

[flint geyser]

huh.

[unkempt path]

you should at least get 180k

[grand perch]

With that said Electric trainer pool is more restrictive than Water

[gleaming raven]

yeah i barely got the medal from water at 234k

just for reference

[grand perch]

So I expect the minimum points needed will be lower

[austere delta]

same.

[spark storm]

true, but i think at least 200k still

[austere delta]

i am here just to copy people comp

[gray moth]

Ok

[bright river]

oh hi

[grand perch]

Also yeah I very much doubt being lower than 180k will secure your position haha

[gray moth]

Idk how surge

Guys how surge

[bright river]

ready for this again?

[grand perch]

Here’s my team if anyone wants to steal them

Nemona sucks

[flint geyser]

dont use her as dps!!!

[grand perch]

That

[gleaming raven]

for surge i did EX base Elesa/base Volkner/BP Clemont with 200 str

[flint geyser]

worst idea i've made

[spark storm]

elec terrain, he don't have elec moves at all

[gray moth]

Doesnt volkner kill himself from recoil

[gleaming raven]

you dont use wild charge

[flint geyser]

sync nuke.

[crude iron]

with 3anni pikachus and ss hau existing, i have a feeling it might be higher than water, tbh. hard to say for sure but, thats my gut feeling

[gleaming raven]

nah he's a flinch bot with electric terrain to power up elesa's nuke

[grand perch]

Volkner is to spread terrain, flinch

Yeah

[flint geyser]

ah right

[gleaming raven]

and he does that job well

[tacit monolith]

Just making sure : is the medal the same as the water high score one ?

[gleaming raven]

it should be

[crude iron]

electric has more of the recent gamebreakers than water afaik

[gleaming raven]

electric has a better limited pool, but not as good of a general roster

[hollow aurora]

Still, I’m not after the medal.

Only the rewards

[grand perch]

Yeah if people have those limited Uber electric units, great

But them being limited as heck and only ever running once is what I was considering

[flint geyser]

i definitely should have just
used red and ash in seperate teams for a higher score but whatever

[gleaming raven]

yeah, I went to 180k, saw myself at 97 tickets, went and redid Elesa for 15k more points bc i underdid her strength significantly and called it

[grand perch]

Well you can reset after you beat all five

[spark storm]

water had a lot of good flinchers too, electric kinda lacks those for very high str

[grand perch]

You can reset just individual fights too

[gleaming raven]

you can reset before that

[grand perch]

Best feature

[grand perch]

Oh really? Didn’t know that

[crude iron]

either way id be surprised if anyone without at least double 3anni+ maybe nc blue ontop of that are gonna be in master medal range by the end

[gleaming raven]

i reset Marnie after i realised my Volkner team was not gonna work and it was fine

[flint geyser]

i'll do the stages later 🧍‍♂️

[hollow aurora]

Only ones I had to strengthen more for 180k was the one where I used N and the other where I used Ash.

[gleaming raven]

having 2 of the 3 is probably gonna be enough for the medal, all 3 and you actually try and you might as well be guaranteed

all 3 of those are easily capable of carrying a stage

[ornate turret]

You don’t want to drag the fight for too long this time so I don’t think the medal threshold will be higher than water. Probably something like ~220k

[crude iron]

depends on how many 3rd anni owners are tryharding overall i suppose.

[gleaming raven]

yeah i expect the top 10k threshold to be a bit lower this time

[unkempt path]

I have all 3

but yeah, it depends if people actually want to try hard

imagine going through the effort just for a medal

[grand perch]

As an Ash haver I promise to only stay at 196,500 points

[unkempt path]

[flint geyser]

flexing rights ig

[sleek crystal]

How do you beat the sides?

[crude iron]

thankfully you only have to excel at one type to get the same medal for all of them

[grand perch]

Is your Elesa not EX?

[gleaming raven]

i did not try particularly hard for the medal last time im not gonna lie

[sleek crystal]

No

[crude iron]

striker ex my guy

[grand perch]

Her nuke is what carried me

[unkempt path]

pretty sure you need to Paralyze all of them

[gleaming raven]

i did my runs on day 1, never redid them, got my medal

[sleek crystal]

They are all paralyzed

[crude iron]

and yeah, that too, i dont see para on left

[sleek crystal]

Can you not see the electric particles

[crude iron]

oh, i was looking at icon

[unkempt path]

Elesa ex?

[crude iron]

im used to looking for icons

[sleek crystal]

Nope

[crude iron]

thats prob whats losing it then

[sleek crystal]

I heard I didn't need many ex for 180k pts

[crude iron]

its a lot easier with strike exs in stuff like this

[sleek crystal]

Bruh

[crude iron]

try 2 electric 1 offtype if you need to

180k should be possible with 2 on type 1 offtype carry

personally im prob gonna use my 2 electric strike exs then try to carry 3/5 stages with offtypes + 2 ontype teams

not confident enough in more than n and elesa out of my box to dps carry

[sleek crystal]

Something like this?

[brisk token]

Woohoo done with this hectic HS, i only use 3 EX pairs and 1 eggmon pair thanks for all of the tips guys

[crude iron]

yeah, worth a try at least.

(optimally if you have a carry matching mids weakness that can fill the stage's requirements, it might be even easier.)

considering they want minimal attacks and mids the tankiest in most of the game

[spark storm]

Carnie for volkner >>>>>

[crude iron]

whats our consensus on who i should tank with where btw, out of my electric tanks. think im gonna start with figuring out what tanks are going where + where im putting N and Elesa and then move onto the 3 offtype dps. i can use last slot of each team to fill any extra needs.

cause i should be able to figure out the rest from there if i can have help on where to put what tanks and whatnot

[sleek crystal]

What type of damage dealer does clemont want?

[spark storm]

you can start by taking a look at the grading sheet in the pins, it should give you an idea

[gilded totem]

God N sucks so much his damage looks worse than Marnie (both are 3/5) as well

[crude crest]

Hello, first time seeing this type of event for me, what is the recommended strength to set?

[candid cobalt]

Mann I'm so close to beating Surge with BP Surge, N and Volkner at 270 strength

[gilded totem]

Wow, Tondemaru is higher than N in Volkner, is it because of the flinch?

[glossy ravine]

It's actually quite hard to play with the ratio

as it's possible that fast clears with low strength are better than longer ones with higher strength

[crude iron]

what strength was this?

[glossy ravine]

400

[crude iron]

dang

[glossy ravine]

it was my second ever try even

it's not that hard

But like, if you play long you lose a lot of mileage

Ash essentially is needed here

[crude iron]

my haus not ex, so

[glossy ravine]

if you want to get high ranks

[crude iron]

my only ontype strike exs are N 1/5 and Elesa 5/5

[tardy vector]

Need some help with comps, if I do get classic elesa where do I fit her?

[sleek crystal]

I need 10k more...

[whole finch]

+200
+170
+200
+170
+350
I am master rank 380 and i think i could do more tham this

[sleek crystal]

Who should I reset?I need 8000 more points

[spark storm]

60% flinch and guaranteed para is really good yh

[spark storm]

the time and nb hits parameters are shit, you should mainly focus and str

[fair drift]

wait so we get more points... the more we get debuffed? did I get that right?

[maiden canopy]

Welp, I got STR 425 on my Marnie team

[cyan tusk]

1st draft

Last 2 can be increased

First 2 are never gonna see me again

500 strg each
550 Clemont
550 marnie

[candid cobalt]

Sheesh

[sleek crystal]

How do I get 5k more points

[crimson python]

i didnt expect this outcome

no need EX support

[azure idol]

Holy shiet How many potions second team?

[round stone]

So what's the general consensus for what pairs to throw at which stages?

[hardy fog]

read the pinned. there is grading for each electric to kick you off

[cyan tusk]

How many tm MPR you mean

[spark storm]

debuff param seems wrong no ? it seems like it counted the ones i inflicted to opponent and not the reverse like it's supposed to

[cyan tusk]

Like 6, side luxray uses giga impact so if you focus the togedemaru you can keep enduring like a punching ball

[hardy fog]

🍿 just waiting for @cyan tusk @onyx crystal @haughty haven to finish theirs and copy 🍿

[candid cobalt]

Now I'm surprised how the Volkner team has the least amount of points

[azure idol]

Damn so I can replicate with 2/5 Jasmine?

[tardy vector]

God bless 422

[candid cobalt]

Ooh

[round stone]

I'm gonna steal so much

[candid cobalt]

What strength is that?

That's literally my Marnie team

[hardy fog]

yoooooo Nc Blue carry

[round stone]

HCYoink (Marnie - NCBlue, Hau, Surge)

[whole finch]

I already am, thank you

[valid sage]

what to aim for strength wise to get the minimum of rewards

[tardy vector]

Creds to @glossy ravine

God bless

[hardy fog]

150 each should get you there

[tardy vector]

422

[valid sage]

+150 u mean, right?

okay

[hardy fog]

yes

150 - 200

you can do like 2 x 200 and rest 100

that would be 180K ish

[cyan tusk]

Say hello to continuous AoE

That rotom only spams discharge and swift

[cyan tusk]

Yes, if it’s harder just lower the points

[red pendant]

I know to pick Marnie for Vs. Volkner, and I figured that I'd pick Hau for Vs. Marnie...and for Vs. Clemont, I gotta pick a team with no techs...and for Vs. Elesa, a team with a heavy focus on status conditions and/or interferences...and for Vs. Lt. Surge, a team that doesn't need healing

okay, let's begin with Vs. Marnie: who would be good team mates for Hau?

Hau is EX'd, BTW

[hardy fog]

literally template if you scroll up

[tardy vector]

Any good team for surge without rats?

[red pendant]

template?

where?

[hardy fog]

scroll up Gene did 422

Marnie with Hau

[red pendant]

oh

I don't have NC Blue or Variety Kris

[candid cobalt]

Yikes

[hardy fog]

yooooo nc blue though

when they made something so broken, I had to pull out my wallet

"take my money"

[red pendant]

wait, I don't see any post made by anyone named Gene?

[valid sage]

almost 23k on volkner...
but i didn't put any alola/unova bc i used volkner (hah)

with marnie

[hardy fog]

here

[valid sage]

will try with 200 later

[drifting igloo]

Do I need to restart?

[red pendant]

oh...but I don't have NC Blue

so I can't do that

[candid cobalt]

Would these teams work for the HSE?

Lt Surge (No Healing): Volkner, N, BP Surge
Volkner (No Rules): Marnie, BP Clemont, SS Elesa
Elesa (Must Paralyse): Sonia, Elesa, Sophocles
Clemont (No Techs): Ash, BP Soph, Lodge Elesa
Marnie (No Phys): NC Blue, Hau, Clemont

This is my roster

[tardy vector]

Oooh just cleared 430

Could try for higher HAHA

[haughty haven]

F you Volkner, you didn’t restore any Electric terrain so i just can beat 550str

[red pendant]

is there, like, a Vs. Marnie team that involves Hau, but neither NC Blue nor Ash? the former because I don't have him and the latter because from what I understood, Ash is best saved for a different opponent

[haughty haven]

[pure jungle]

i used VKris

[vocal wren]

What a nice score to pass 180k with.

[red pendant]

don't have her either

My roster

[tardy vector]

For the no healing,is there anything that is excluded?

How do you guys grid your bp surge haha

[hardy fog]

there is nothing wrong with offtyping if you are just going for 180k

[sullen pier]

nothing

[sleek crystal]

I need another 1.5k pts

What do I do

[sullen pier]

i see you havent used OG Elesa yet

[sleek crystal]

Not ex

[sullen pier]

why not using her on Elesa stage?

that doesnt matter tbh

just replace Lysandre with her

[sleek crystal]

I tried elesa already

She kills mid

Dies to sides

[sullen pier]

how about lowering a bit strength? Elesa is Unovan so the Electrpic multiplier makes up for the reduced strength

[haughty haven]

Reset too much that Hau has green filter

[red pendant]

well, that's the thing: I am trying to go for the medal

[hardy fog]

then why dont you assign all the tanks for the other ones first

[red pendant]

...wait, I haven't even started yet

I am still trying to decide on teams

[hardy fog]

yooo then why not start with the grading doc in the pinned

[pure jungle]

just try first you can always reset later

you have way more electric EXs than me haha I'm pretty sure you'll be fine

[sleek crystal]

YES

[drifting igloo]

Do I have to restart?

[red pendant]

hmm...alright, got at least a Vs Clemont team planned so far: Lodge Elesa as support, Ash as DPS and nuke, MCkachu as filler

thoughts so far?

[atomic hamlet]

What's the bonus I should aim for?

Like the difficulty

[hardy fog]

150 x 5 or 200 x 2 + 100 x 3

[atomic hamlet]

What

Oh points

[red pendant]

alright, for the Vs Marnie team, I have BP Clemont/NY Volkner/Hau

[signal needle]

Zeen not #1???

[hasty juniper]

Genuinely not sure I have enough anything to get me through this one, any advice? Electric needs more usable f2p options

[red pendant]

actually, maybe BP Clemont is a bad idea?

[hasty juniper]

Ftr the shown team fails miserably because Joltik dies in two hits on 150.

[hardy fog]

read the pinned grading doc

[red pendant]

I am reading them

that's why I am struggling to find a good support for Vs. Marnie

out of every support sync pair I have, they all would rather want to be used in anything BUT Vs. Marnie

infact, that's the case for literaly EVERY Support sync pair except NC Blue

whom I don't have

[vivid locust]

Sonia in vs Surge

[hasty juniper]

Have read it and it largely is unhelpful because it basically says "Your pairs suck"

[red pendant]

yeah

[vivid locust]

The only electric support with no healing is SSElesa (Which still has some form of healing anyway in Ridicure)

[pure jungle]

I paired SSElesa with Clemont for the first stage

[red pendant]

I'll probably pair SS Elesa with Volkner for Vs Surge...though the question would be who the third sync pair would be

[tiny breach]

Do ex units give higher scores?

[glossy ravine]

@bicio I see you up there

[maiden canopy]

Got 500 STR on Lt. Surge now

[glossy ravine]

@cyan tusk Pog top 1

[maiden canopy]

Yes in a sense

[unborn acorn]

any clears with the rats + bird yet?

[hasty juniper]

I'm still struggling to find five workable damage options. Elesa, Nemona and maybe both Sophocles at a push, but that's only four.

[unborn acorn]

i tried it a little and it looks like they can beat 1k str

[spark storm]

yes #1128052735967764621 message

[unborn acorn]

nice, thanks

[arctic quest]

Don't mind me just stealing teams

[sour ferry]

Nice

[hasty juniper]

Tbh I wish I could lmao

[unborn acorn]

I still did it myself anyways

[hasty juniper]

I've got bugger all of use here it seems and not enough Electric supports to back any of it up

[signal needle]

Yalls cant believe i am overkilling when the difficulty is set to 11000

Ss Hau really busted

This BP Clemont has Electrorepylsion and First Aid 4 and first aid didnt even proc

[hasty juniper]

Ngl I wish I had the tech candies to 3/5 him

Ss hau before 3/5 is just crap volkner.

[royal tiger]

VS Surge - 200 Strength - They hit really hard
VS Volkner - 200 Strength - I can probably change the strength to 250. NC Blue is busted. But i need to use Ash for it Hmm.
VS Elesa - 150 Strength - Manageable for 2/5 Zekrom.
VS Clemont - 200 Strength - Won by the skin of my teeth for this jeez. Not gonna lie.
VS Marnie - 200 Strength - I can probably get up to 250 or 300.

Marnie actually uses Snarl for some reason

Hmm

Zekrom can probably do 200 Strength its just

he really is potato when he doesnt have full crit 😐

SST Red is definitely a good call for Lt. Surge, everyone died except for SST Red

[arctic quest]

Regretting not having one of the rats at this moment in time

[royal tiger]

SS Elesa for VS Clemont is bad.

that guy has ACC Up

which is... hard.

SS Elesa is just there to ramp up sync move.

didnt get a MP Refresh on her TM

but at least Nemona did it pretty well

i'll put my findings up on my stage-clear

but for now i'm in Master 1k

[drifting igloo]

Surge left. Here are my remaining electric type units. Here's my full roster. EXs and Move Levels are not updated

[royal tiger]

man

Zekrom can't do damage at all

he needed 2 EX Support Syncs

[hasty juniper]

Yikes

[royal tiger]

jst to hit something in 2 hits (for the sides)

[hardy fog]

you didnt paralyze?

[royal tiger]

that's just 150 strength

i hit paralyze immediately but

[drifting igloo]

Zekrom is starting to fall off

[hardy fog]

you need to paralyze or flinch

[royal tiger]

he just really does potato damage 😐

as soon as he hits crit, 5k to the face

but without it... poof.

[hardy fog]

hmm I remember mine doing like 3k+

3k is decent

haha

[royal tiger]

i might have to respec a few people

my zekrom is 2/5 so

it should be doing a bit of damage

[drifting igloo]

.

[hasty juniper]

I'm just kinda screwed I think. 5 Electric supports, at least one of which can't actually tank, and I only have about 2 decent Electric DPS options it seems. I just... Why did they make it electric?

[pure jungle]

Barely holding up with half bad roster

[hardy fog]

why not try bp clemont, bp soph and soph

[drifting igloo]

I don't have the resources to get them to 5 star

[royal tiger]

Whoa i see a Jolteon enjoyer

[hardy fog]

if that is half bad what does half good look like

[royal tiger]

Hmmm

actually you know what

[hasty juniper]

Idk but that's better than half bad lmao

[royal tiger]

if i EX Base Elesa

[drifting igloo]

"Half bad"

Has the best unit in the game

[royal tiger]

i can probably oneshot all of it.

and then

[hasty juniper]

This HSE is really kinda just "Have rats or perish" it feels

[royal tiger]

I can do Ash + NC Blue and attempt 600 to 900 Strength.

HMMM

[sullen pier]

Finally done, imma call it a day

[pure jungle]

yeah tbh besides the rats and hau idk who else to use. F2p electric dps is hard to find

[hasty juniper]

Pretty much

Elesa is the best f2p dps for electric

Hau is... Rough

The two sophocles can probably possibly pull their weight?

[pure jungle]

volkner can probably nuke things but you need to pair him with another phys electric dps

I like volkner with sonia a lot

[sullen pier]

Hau needs EX to perform well

especially on higher strengths

he struggles to kill sides

[arctic quest]

Is this our local f2p Hau or SS Hau

[royal tiger]

local f2p

she actually does a decent amount of damage after EX Support Sync

[sullen pier]

SS Hau doesnt have that issue

[royal tiger]

*he

Inertia's pretty good

[arctic quest]

Ah ok thought as much, thanks

Yea I like Hau

[royal tiger]

i just need EX Elesa for this one.

so i can go all out on either Volkner or Marnie

600-900 Strength with NC Blue + Ash + whoever.

[sullen kestrel]

This was…. Very difficult idk if I can get the medal or not

[royal tiger]

i'll probably be at master 2k by tomorrow

for now i need to formulate

[cyan tusk]

Never thought NcBlue could be so busted btw

Focus that 829 strength I ended the fight full hp lol

[ornate turret]

For now. Already better than some 3/5 rats users

[elfin spade]

How does this layout look gang? Am I going to be using my units properly?

I’m most worried about volkner

[maiden canopy]

I'm at 224k pts. with only 4 done

Not too bad I must say

[elfin spade]

Actually I think my elesa team is wasteful, I can’t see myself syncing with elesa since nemona is there so how should I move things around?

I wanna get a good plan before starting

[maiden canopy]

BTW, can we get 2 more striker candies before this event ends?

[red pendant]

Please rate my teams

[royal tiger]

who are you candying? o-o

[red pendant]

They are in order of the High Score opponents btw

[whole finch]

I think i should be save

Right?

[royal tiger]

yeah

[whole finch]

Ok cool

[sullen pier]

tbh that might not be not enough

[pure jungle]

last HS event

[whole finch]

............

[pure jungle]

the 10k score was around 232k

[whole finch]

God fucking dammit

[pure jungle]

I dont even know if I can make it as well

[sullen pier]

people with Nemona, 2 rats and HJasmine gonna kick you out

[ornate turret]

Why did you mix physical and special dps together and support too. What’s elesa role in that N team. Sonia and surge does the same thing clemont should be used with physical dps….

[mortal timber]

High score thread my beloved

How are we feeling today

[mortal timber]

[ocean warren]

first blind run if people want teams

[red pendant]

you mean in Team 99? She's the only support for Vs. Clemont that is ranked higher than B

[haughty haven]

[red pendant]

at least out of the supports I actually have

after all, I don't have NC Blue

[mortal timber]

PYKUO

[hasty juniper]

Absolutely miserable

[mortal timber]

Oh no

[cunning shore]

I am late to the party

[hasty juniper]

I do not have NC Blue, HJasmine or the rats

[sullen pier]

https://tenor.com/view/avatar-the-last-airbender-zuko-thats-rough-buddy-thats-rough-gif-4264932

[mortal timber]

Aw man

[hasty juniper]

Therefore my HSE options are basically all kinda grim and nonfunctional

[red pendant]

oh, in Team 96! SS Elesa and BP Clemont are the only A ranked supports for Vs. Surge, and I am already using BP Clemont elsewhere

[hasty juniper]

I asked here for support and the only feedback I got was "check the pinned chart" which effectively just said "your pairs are shit lmao"

[red pendant]

damn, guess I am lucky in comparison

not by much, though

I have HJasmine and Ash, but not SST Red or NC Blue

[maiden canopy]

N

[red pendant]

the latter is especially bad because of Vs Marnie

since NC Blue is the ONLY good support for that one

[royal tiger]

base 1/5 to 3/5? D:?

[red pendant]

I ended up putting BP Clemont there to make use of Classic Elesa's Electric Terrain

[maiden canopy]

Well, he is at 2/5 going 3/5

[royal tiger]

Oh

i've had him at 2/5 for a long time

does he get like 3/5 sync nuke grids or something?

[red pendant]

I actually heavily considered doing that as well

[maiden canopy]

I might use him in CS next week

[hasty juniper]

How the frack is Lodge Elesa not like, E on Marnie? She dies in 2 hits on 150.

[maiden canopy]

Because Marnie is physical while L. Elesa is a special tank

She belongs more on Clemont

[hasty juniper]

She's rated C though

For Marnie's stage

[red pendant]

I am deadass tempted to do a yolo tenfold on NC Blue's banner in hopes I somehow get lucky, but my brain is screaming at me that this would be a horrible idea

[hasty juniper]

When she dies in 2 hits and can't buff in time

[maiden canopy]

It technically is, but you do you

[red pendant]

well, I'd rather NOT be forced to do a yolo tenfold tbh

[maiden canopy]

Well, Surge isn't any different on Marnie

[ornate turret]

the ranking rating depends on your roster, sselesa did nothing for those 2 physical user, you're wasting time with buffing and doing no dmg
Team 97 is also a mess, both clemont and marnie will take forever to max their offensive buffs
team 98 Surge and sonia provides the same buffs, a waste of a slot
and team 100, Hau is a special strike, bp clemont debuffs defense
you're not getting that medal with this

[red pendant]

because I'd rather want to save my gems for someone I actually want

but with how this High Score is going, I'm not sure if I even have any other choice

[red pendant]

who do I replace BP Clemont in Team 100 then?

I don't have NC Blue, after all

[hasty juniper]

Something with crit support, else Hau is going to be worthless

[grand perch]

Funny thing is if October is a bust, Nc Blue and CElesa are the most enticing of this month’s banner to me haha

Still not gonna push higher though

[maiden canopy]

But really tho, can we get 2 more striker candies before this event ends?

[hardy fog]

anyone using classic clemont?

[ornate turret]

well you want a special support but sselesa is weak to dark move so probably have to use hjasmine here, Hau will need crit buff from her too, move bp clemont to the 1st team

[maiden canopy]

I did, against Elesa

[red pendant]

okay, moved BP Clement to first team and H Jasmine to last team

[hardy fog]

hmmm isnt it better against volkner?

[red pendant]

now I gotta replace H Jasmine in the Marnie team

[pure jungle]

I used classic clemont with SSElesa and SSTRed against Surge just as a debuffer

[red pendant]

...Classic Clemont??????????

wdym

[maiden canopy]

Heliolisk

[red pendant]

oh

vanilla Clemont

[ornate turret]

move surge or sonia there to max marnie offensive stats

[red pendant]

will move Sonia there then

[ornate turret]

so she can focus on spamming power trip

[pure jungle]

for accuracy debuffs and spd debuffs for proccing cakewalk for red faster

[signal needle]

Shes good on with a terrain team then

[red pendant]

okay, now I need a Sonia replacement for Team 98

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmm, Hau, BP Sophocles or OG Sophocles?

For Volkner

[hasty juniper]

What kind of supports are you bringing

Or at least, which do you have left

[ornate turret]

another dps if you sync with elesa, probably golem and use someone else with ash team

[maiden canopy]

I have Sonia and OG N

Sonia helps with crit and kinda the speed

[sullen pier]

save Hau for Marnie

[maiden canopy]

But Volkner's sync is special so yeah...

Too late, I did 425 STR on Marnie with Ash, BP Surge and Volkner

[red pendant]

replace Golem in Ash's team with NY Volkner then?

[ornate turret]

sure

don't know you have him

[red pendant]

thnx

[cyan tusk]

Btw I’m shocked by this team

No rat +1000 strength

[pure jungle]

probably can go higher

[maiden canopy]

Now try x2 rat and thunderbird

[ornate turret]

the stat decreses is probably for enemies not allies

apologems when

[cyan tusk]

Yes but the game doesn’t let you put more than 1000 strength

[spark storm]

coz else rats would do 2k lmao

[pure jungle]

need to break the game now

[hasty juniper]

With this I'd probably go OG Sophocles

Nuzzle guarantees paralysis, Sonia sets him up nicely to do secondary DPS shenanigans.

[signal needle]

Overkill

[cyan tusk]

Can’t’ use physical strikers in the stage so better be it, i honeslty did not think it could be so much overkill

[red pendant]

wait, I forgot

[stable tulip]

can i just sandbag two electric units with ash on the team

[red pendant]

which strength increases for which team?

[cyan tusk]

Bc Vkris keeps syncing under ET

[spark storm]

that means it could probably be possible to do 2 teams at 1k with another support for rats

[ornate turret]

try 150-200 for eveything first

[pure jungle]

200 is the baseline for me

[grand perch]

What was the top score for water again

[stable tulip]

also i really dont need to do triple electric for all the fights right

[cyan tusk]

You need to drop opponents attack to endure the sync. That’s why NCBlue is busted

[pure jungle]

It's moderately diffcult for my uninvested teams

[spark storm]

well red and ash both have damage guard next

[hasty juniper]

You don't need to, but it is more efficient, and you do need at least one Electric type on the team to get a score above zero.

[paper mist]

Whew, Volkner ended up being harder than I thought, but I also know for a fact that I can go way higher against Elesa and Marnie.

[cyan tusk]

You might no be able to tank it anyway without debuffs, I was at +6 defenses and Marnie was -6 atk

[stable tulip]

i am having some trouble with volkner, but ill ask for help after i clear each fight once, so i can compare what advice would i get to my thinking process for each fight

i can probably use all electric for all teams but im too used to oonga boonga playstyle

[paper mist]

[hasty juniper]

The difficulty is doing it with all rewards tbh

150 on all five stages with triple electric is grim if you don't have rats

[neon ether]

Is base clemont usable without 3/5?

I only have 2

[hasty juniper]

Not really but he's a nice debuff spammer at the least

[spark storm]

well they have same stats as water hs no ? coz rats made 1k on it with ssac / ss morty, so no atk debuff

[paper mist]

I did minimum 200, and know I won’t be able to go higher on Volk and Surge, but maybe higher on Clemont…

[paper mist]

His sync helped my damage a lot

[red pendant]

ok

[hasty juniper]

Pre-3/5, his sync isn't that great iirc

He's basically just spamming speed or acc drops at that point

3/5or above, sure he can nuke

[paper mist]

Oh yeah non-3/5

[neon ether]

Is this fine for marnie then, had to switch some teams around a bit

[paper mist]

Mine is 5/5

[neon ether]

So far I’ve only done Volkner 44k points

[stable tulip]

bruh

my sonia has been on a 1/5 grid after being 5/5 ex for the longest time

what the fuck

[hasty juniper]

Whomp whomp

[stable tulip]

no wonder she wasnt buffing crit in all those fights

[drifting igloo]

I HATE THIS GAME

[signal needle]

U scored 2175 on More stat decreases because u were snarled 31 times?

[neon ether]

What boost rating should I be doing

[stark coyote]

i think it might be opponent stat decreases

[neon ether]

For Volkner I did +9000

[red pendant]

...yeah, okay, no

[signal needle]

I did Marnie with a much cheaper team than yours but i got higher than that, so you should definitely retry it!

[red pendant]

BP Clemont/N/Volkner isn't working out against Lt. Surge

[signal needle]

Oh psst Dena

[stark coyote]

ye

[signal needle]

I retry later Marnie stage with Mind Games 9 Hau then

[red pendant]

there's nobody buffing N's crit, and BP Clemont relies a little too much on healing himself

[whole finch]

I can only do 232k
I just pray for the best now

[signal needle]

I thougjt wrong chat when i saw Zerena

If you are offtyping, why arent u bringing a fire type striker

[drifting igloo]

Why fire specifically?

[signal needle]

Cus your opponent is weak to fire...

[drifting igloo]

My fire strikers need sun to have good sync numbers

[hasty juniper]

What fire options do you have

[signal needle]

My weakest team looks crap

Just use Silver

[hasty juniper]

SS Hilda should clatter it

[sullen pier]

Blue carrying hard

[signal needle]

Do yall think if i replaced N with MC Pikachu I can actually get a higher score

[drifting igloo]

N has Unova

And Unova grants bonus points

[hasty juniper]

Yeah but it's unova or alola

So Hau gets the bonus anyway

[sullen pier]

you already have SS Elesa from Unova too, you just need one from a region

[grand perch]

Wait there was a region bonus?

[signal needle]

Im just gonna try tht

Sorry N but u are shit

[grand perch]

D’oh

[hasty juniper]

Yeah, +1k points if you have a unovan or alolan on the team

Also +1k if you paralyse them at least once (lol)

[pure jungle]

Elesas haus and sophocles for each team

[grand perch]

I could have slotted in Sophocles lol

[drifting igloo]

What points should I do

I need 27.5k more for all the rewards

[neon ether]

How do I make hau not die to marnie sync

[drifting igloo]

Can I see your team?

[stray dust]

No new medal time to low effort this

[neon ether]

I leveled up and 5 stared hau

[grand perch]

Yay low efforts

[drifting igloo]

I used this same team, but Blue and Hau were 6 stared

I guess just accumulate as much defense boosts as you can from blue

[neon ether]

How many points did u do

[drifting igloo]

12,000**

[neon ether]

I’m only doing 9k so I’ll probably be fine without exing copium

[sullen pier]

[mortal timber]

[whole finch]

damn

[hasty juniper]

Why do I feel like this vid is just "EX em all and get lucky lmao"

[signal needle]

I hvnt used Power Reserves Chu in a while

So i tested out my Hau and NC Blue vs Clemont

Overkill once again

Ex Hau kills opponents without e terrain

[red pendant]

...yeah, no

I just can't win against Lt. Surge

not with a team of BP Clemont/N/Volkner, at least

[maiden canopy]

I'm still waiting on 2 more candies to 3/5 my N

[pure jungle]

gauge heavy?

[red pendant]

I have 2 Strike Candies, but I don't know if it's a good idea to use one of them to bring N to 3/5 or if they are better saved to fix a different sync pair that needs it more

[pure jungle]

ahh there's no crit buffer

[maiden canopy]

Do we have an upcoming event that gives 5* striker candy coins?

[sullen pier]

Palmer event and PMD

[maiden canopy]

Ah cool

[pure jungle]

probably you can try sonia or surgechu

[signal needle]

Wow OP

[paper mist]

That was my first attempt at only 200 STR

Not much I can do cause discharge hits hard but when I take out Rotom I just lose to the sides, even though I only use Marnie’s sync on the sides too

But I can get a high score against Elesa and Marnie to cancel it out ig

[red pendant]

yeah, I only have 3 of those

[cunning shore]

+1000 gives only 37k? 🥲

[red pendant]

and they are all used elsewhere

[paper mist]

I can’t do much against Surge without giving NYVolk 2 candies and I need those for Palmer and CRed, and would prefer not to use them just for a HSE and never again

[red pendant]

man, I really wish I had more than just two strike candies 😦

[paper mist]

Same

[red pendant]

man, I really wish it was easier/faster to get red coins

[paper mist]

I have Yellow candies but I’ll likely need to use one on Viovanni and save them for future Field pairs

Anyway, no doubt this is the highest my score will ever get without Ash, but I think I’m safe for top 1k again

[signal needle]

Geesus

Howw come i amped up from 12K to 13K difficulty and the difference was whole team healthy >> whole team ded by 1st sync

[maiden canopy]

What was the original STR to the new one?

[stray dust]

Waiting till weekend to copy teams to low effort this

[arctic quest]

literally me

[signal needle]

Strength increase +300 to +350

[maiden canopy]

I'm missing the other big electric units like H. Jasmine, Nemona and SS Hau

[paper mist]

Oof

[maiden canopy]

Ah yeah, that makes sense

[paper mist]

I went up to 450 against Marnie

[signal needle]

Such a small diff tho

[signal needle]

Succeed?

[paper mist]

And I think I could do 500 against her

[maiden canopy]

I only went 425 against her

[signal needle]

Ye ur team looks potent

I did 300 with Ss Hau ex but my tank was bp clemont

[maiden canopy]

BP Surge, Ash and Volkner

[signal needle]

Triple EX

[paper mist]

Hau can do good damage with Discharge… after -2 rebuff and +3 sync buffs in ET

[gilded totem]

This was frankly very traumatizing

[signal needle]

[signal needle]

Yes

[paper mist]

I don’t sync with Raichu though

[signal needle]

With Koko

[paper mist]

Blue too

Extra rebuff from sync and +2 buff

[signal needle]

Can i see ur SS Hau grid

U go for mind games or not?

[red pendant]

if only I had, like

5 strike candies instead of only 2

then I could use two of them on N, two of them on Ash, and keep one on standby for emergencies

[paper mist]

Ofc

[signal needle]

Personally i dont think its as worth gridding something just for high score

Just because theres such a big "top roster"

So the bar isnt tht high

But if u are a hardcore top 100 player then most definitely

[signal needle]

I didnt, leme retry later

I Stil wanna know ur grid
