High Score

[maiden canopy]

Hau kinda helped me on my Elesa clear

[cyan tusk]

His main utility would be piercing blows but guess what doesn’t work here

[crimson python]

well he relies too much SE up

[haughty haven]

Make me remember my 17/20 4 star Marlon

[crimson python]

which cant be used in offtype like this

[mortal timber]

Consider pre expansion N

His sync was lower than hau’s

Off type ofc

[crimson python]

lmao

fr?

[mortal timber]

Off type yes

Now he got like

Static boost 5

Which helps but

[crimson python]

offtype is the future

thats why se multipliers sux in general

[cyan tusk]

Good thing is that now he’s crit independent so like I can pair him with sonia and grid sonia only on potions

[mortal timber]

Yeah that’s true

He gained follow through on tm

[crimson python]

thats like as weak as ss cynthia nuke lol

[lilac vine]

May I know your volkner team's grid? Especially elesa Mine keep getting wiped out even at super hard. 😬

[cyan tusk]

I mean I won not for N but bc sonia was refreshing potions

[mortal timber]

Plus a thing I dislike of Zekrom in this game

Is the gauge management most of the times

Mostly at 1/5 it really sucks

[crimson python]

yea

[arctic quest]

N's kit just annoys me in general but he is like a really old unit by now so

[crimson python]

he has really shitty gauge aside from freebie but thats about it

[mortal timber]

Yeah

[cyan tusk]

And that’s why he’s with sonia and classic elesa

[haughty haven]

His gauge such

[cyan tusk]

Otherwise I could not manage his gauge

[mortal timber]

Good pairing in fact

[haughty haven]

Like i let enemy hit Sonia for speed

[mortal timber]

Mga ftw

[haughty haven]

Or i cant spam his move

[crimson python]

worse is both are debuffers wasted on h im lol

[onyx crystal]

thunder can still miss with +2 accuracy

[cyan tusk]

I should stop speaking of hs event otherwise I’ll be tempted to retry some stages and my mental health cannot afford it

[forest ferry]

As a 3/5 N owner, I can say he has good dps

But his sync is ass

So sides still live after like 3 syncs

[cyan tusk]

Yes I know but I had to sacrifice smth

[forest ferry]

While mid dies

[cyan tusk]

Just spam some moves on the sides

Casually

It’s what I did with ash

[forest ferry]

That's what I am doing

It's still hard to manage

[cyan tusk]

Bc of course b thunderbolt can take care of the mid

[arctic quest]

It'll only be 93.33 accuracy with +2 I think

[forest ferry]

Since his dps is too big compared to sync

[haughty haven]

As 1/5 N owner, i say he suck. If not bc my N is EX and i dont have any PU, i will use Bp Socho instead

[mortal timber]

Imma shower, brb

[crimson python]

this HS is hard becuase of fckling viral 9 parahax

u need dodging shennegans to avoid those

[haughty haven]

Lithe go brrr

[onyx crystal]

Marnie... sliver of health... all I needed was for it to not miss

[forest ferry]

Viral 9 is bearable
I don't have units in first place

[crimson python]

imagine cookie rolling lithe

[knotty dew]

Sure

[forest ferry]

Why did they do electric before fire or grass

[arctic quest]

oh noo 😭 typical thunder being thunder

[forest ferry]

[knotty dew]

Strength was 250

[torn cedar]

If you have a bad dps you 'have' to use in hs, and you want to try off type a dps, what is the strength difference you need to add to offset the off type lack of multiplier

[arctic quest]

Impressivee

700 strength

[signal needle]

Why is nc blue so broken

[torn cedar]

Like if you can only clear with +100 strength, what would you need to increase for an off type to be the same?

[signal needle]

Hes carrying these two f2p strikers in Master difficulty

At 1/5

Without using both Roosts

[cyan tusk]

Bc he has all the most broken thing of hs event

1. rebuff
2. debuffs
3. healing

[knotty dew]

And paralysis

[chilly flame]

I hate fighting Elesa so much

[fast lark]

I have no idea what to build for what

[arctic quest]

whomst is this against?

[fast lark]

I can’t seem to defeat Surge at 450+ strength

[signal needle]

Clemont

[signal needle]

Show ur team

Surge is a sucker for flinch

[arctic quest]

Interesting I used the same team against Marnie, managed to get like 63k

[knotty dew]

It's ok, I can't beat surge at 450 strength either

[signal needle]

Really

[arctic quest]

Ya

Exact same comp

[signal needle]

U must hv many strikers to yse two strikers against Marnie

[signal needle]

I said team

[fast lark]

Idk what team to use

I used SST Ref with Nemona

[signal needle]

But i can recommend u to do the exact team as mine

[arctic quest]

well, in my head I don't really count MC and Pika as a striker so it do just be Hau

[fast lark]

Didn’t work

[signal needle]

[signal needle]

I cleared this at the difficulty that gives +13500

[fast lark]

Damn

[signal needle]

Exactly why mc chu is nice in Clemont stage

[fast lark]

2 eletric field users in one team?

[signal needle]

U dont hv to dump two Strikes or two Supports

Cus every other unit is a Tech

[signal needle]

Thats just for me, i had volkner leftover

Volkner setting terrain and paralysis helps me focus on sst red dishinf out damage

[arctic quest]

yeah I'm gonna try rerun for a higher score but a couple days later. I'm done with this for now, went crazy having to restart 8 times just to get Sonia's MP refresh 🙄 only to die to a random crit

[signal needle]

Yay im rank 33

Highest i will ever be

[lone harness]

Team ideas for the 5 fights? I'm at work and can only play way later, but can already build the teams

[signal needle]

Limited options

I would say just take those top 8 units and put them together with ur top 7 supports and see where u get to

Sstred to surge, sonia to elesa, Hau and Nemona to Clemont, Clemont and Volkner to Marnie and just Ash to Volkner i suppose

[languid narwhal]

I don’t have a lot of electric can I even make 5 teams ?

Thinking of pulling that electric scout but it needs quite a bit of paid gems

[onyx crystal]

If you're new to the game don't worry about trying to score really high.

[arctic quest]

Don't, because none of the units in the gen pool are going to help you significantly. You're better off trying some off-type teams to maximise score just for rewards

[onyx crystal]

Make teams with your strongest damage dealers and include 1-2 electric types in each team.

[lone harness]

Can use NC Blue as well but dunno where to slap him in

[onyx crystal]

Most people using him on the Marnie stage.

[knotty dew]

Might as well, Marnie only takes special damage

[lone harness]

Out of these: can Ash + Volkner + one Eggmon or not-too-relevant Electric unit beat a 300+?

[atomic rain]

ash can easily do 500

[zealous elm]

First blind attempt, settled with just 200 strength for all of them to try the waters, some were fine, some others devastated them

[zealous elm]

I don't know who I should swap with MCPikachu

He just stood there doing nothing

Perhaps switch MCPika and regular Hau places?

[lone harness]

Looks like an useful site/doc, where can find it?

[onyx crystal]

Did you find Clemont difficult, how was Elesa's survival? My first thought would be to swap Hau-Raichu and PotionChu

[onyx crystal]

It's the 1st pin.

[zealous elm]

Not particularly, it was basically a countdown for Ash 🅱️Bolt

I just slapped Elesa since the others options were BP Clemont or BPSurge

[onyx crystal]

Well you can increase the str and see how much more she can handle tanking

[surreal night]

Also is there something to the team stat decrease thing, or everyone is choosing to just ignore it?

I'm trying to get the medal this highscore, but I don't get this condition

[onyx crystal]

It's enemy stat decreases, the description in english is wrong

[surreal night]

Oh, that makes more sense, thanks!

[arctic quest]

Umm, where apologems??

[onyx crystal]

Everyone should submit a report when they can.

[arctic quest]

On my way

[lone harness]

For some reason the doc's images doesnt show up to me.

[zealous elm]

I'm still not sure that I want to steal someone's medal tho

But I want them measly tickets

[onyx crystal]

[zealous elm]

Oh so it's an error? Then maybe Clemont would be a good swap for MCPika

[onyx crystal]

Is this google sheets? What OS?

I added alt text to Blue's cell, do you see it if you reload?

[signal needle]

Lol

Ye just go complete the event and get the rewards

[lone harness]

It wasn't. Just downloaded Google Sheets and it worked

[signal needle]

I dont see that as optimal

To use NC Blue optimally he shoyld be on a page where your opponent can whack him up plus do aoe damage

Marnie doesnt do Aoe apart from snarl

So it shud be Volkner or Clemont imo

But basically just slap him on a stage you are struggling with and its also good

[tardy quartz]

Currently, score sitting at 271,000

Need to cook more on Marnie, but might need to wait until tomorrow for 3/5 SS Hau

[onyx crystal]

Terrain Extension on the Marnie stage warrants Blue, because you'll need flinch to delay the countdown. I don't see Jasmine doing as well there.

[fast lark]

I just can’t seem to beat Surge at all

Even at +400

[mortal timber]

Slow stage to defeat marnie but for now arrived at 750 str

[untold rampart]

My exchange tickets end in 5 so I'm happy to stop now

[hasty zenith]

Try google docs, google drive breaks images
Nvm, I see you found a solution

[cyan tusk]

I know that feeling

[fast lark]

How come you use SST Red and Elesa like me vs Surge yet I can’t defeat him?

[maiden canopy]

I don't really care if it doesn't end in 5

[fast lark]

My team gets deleted after the first sync

[maiden canopy]

Prolly a multitude of Breathtaking MPRs

[fast lark]

So basically

It’s all rng

[maiden canopy]

That's also what I did

[fast lark]

Right

[lone wraith]

mfw skipped all kanto mfs

Surge Str 100
Volkner Str 300
Elesa Str 100
Clemont Str 200
Marnie Str 250

kinda got lazy here

enough to poach all the rewards tho

[languid marsh]

Good enough for me Only electric types I had left were Volkner, Striker Raichu and 1/5 Elesa

[full lark]

Why would you ignore one of the best non-limited Electric pairs tho

[languid marsh]

Didn't end up finding a good spot for it

[full lark]

Fair enough

[crimson python]

yea she cant tank seed bombs well

annoyingly marnie seed bomb always hits despite -6 acc

[outer whale]

Will touch this event this weekend.

[signal needle]

What does that mean? To stop Marnie syncing while e terrain is alive?

Is marnie seed bomb really an issue yalls

I literally tanked that with BP clemont on terrain

No healing no ex and all

Well Shock recovery counts

I always let Marnie sync while Electric Terrain is on and im surprised how weak the sync is

[untold rampart]

It took quite a number of attempts. I used a trick where you can quadqueue max moves into eachother and then chained it into SS Elesa's Sync. I used Light Screen for the first turn and before Surge's Sync. I didn't get Breathtaking MPR.

[fast lark]

Ah, I don’t own Classic Elesa though

[sage galleon]

How many points before multiplication would you need to get 36k with 2 Electric pairs?

[arctic quest]

18k

[sage galleon]

And what would the Strength range be?

[onyx crystal]

You cannot tank a sync under terrain when strength is above a certain threshold. I did the stage at 700 str, it would've K.O.ed everyone if that occured.

[signal needle]

I domt like these numbers, does anyone think tht it is possible for me to go higher here

[austere ferry]

Good enough on 1st try. Clemont has been my bane. Also, i super hate you, MPR2 (looking at you Sonia TM)

[signal needle]

The only option i see is replacing Marnie with a flincher

Which is wasting Power Trip...

Ok wtf

I JUST SAW MARNIE LEVEL 130

[zealous elm]

Sophocles gives flinch and Alola for the points

[signal needle]

Well... with that strength certainly

[signal needle]

Plus debuff volkner speed mm

I need to try tht tmr

[trim beacon]

Where r the pins

For the people with best teams

[tardy quartz]

I have achieved comedy.

[mortal timber]

No you achieved greatness, welcome to the top buddy ❤️

[ornate cobalt]

18 pairs hopefully I can find the right units with great synergy

[tardy quartz]

I’m learning how much I hate Volkner’s stage

[full lark]

IMO Surge is the worst stage, No Healing parameter is needlessly annoying

[ornate turret]

the "no Rules" stage is always the most hated

[zealous elm]

Better. Got them all at +300 strength. Volkner and Elesa teams already felt like a last hit scenario, but I think I can still increase the other 3 a bit or more

[plush raven]

Not gonna try anymore. Surge 300, Marnie 300, rest 200

[onyx crystal]

literally the 1st day

[arctic quest]

Bruh I really hate this game sometimes. I restarted a battle 10 times just for a single MPR and then it died to a random AoE crit

[mortal timber]

for now i am not having a stage i dislike, BUT

if i have to choose one it's a tie between volkner or marnie

[chilly kayak]

RNG shenanigans are the price to pay for try-harding

[arctic quest]

😔

[untold rampart]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsIF9fcVXF8

[arctic quest]

my dumbass does not understand what's going on

oh oop should've read the title

but yes that was me

[cyan tusk]

Me when nemona has to prock 40% flinch and 30% MPR together

[mortal timber]

i ain't ready to switch grid for nemona to improve my volkner score

and gamble staggering

[desert sky]

Is something possible with these units

[slender swift]

Possibly but I'd recommend level 140 minimum

And some exes

[sullen kestrel]

212k I hope the leaderboard doesnt change too much, need to stay top 10k

[slender swift]

Maybe my electric units suck but this felt harder than the water one 😭 I struggled for 180k

[sullen kestrel]

I think I dropped to ultra 1 or 2 by the end

[sullen kestrel]

Electric units r worse compared to water imo, and the point thing is worse

Now its less attacks, water one was more I think

[slender swift]

Oh I forgot about the point challenges

Took me forever to get the rewards but now I can ignore it for 2 weeks

[gleaming raven]

Id say 130 minimum, I had a few pairs i couldn't take beyond that due to lack of cap items and still got to ~205k

[slender swift]

Oh then it's a skill issue on my end

I'd say it also depends on how many points, if you're doing 175ish 130 should be good

[gleaming raven]

Depends on roster tbf

[slender swift]

My eyes

[gleaming raven]

Like I have Ash and NC Blue so I was able to push some stages a bit more than people without those might

[sullen kestrel]

Yup, more stat increases for u but electric wants u to be debuffed

[mortal timber]

this is the water graphic

[sullen kestrel]

Ik

Im comparing it, water wants u to buff urself and attack as much as possible

Electric wants u to be debuffed and attack as little as possible

[hardy fog]

Is it worth it not to have unova or alola. Seems like a big sacrifice

[slender swift]

I only used Alola like twice

[gleaming raven]

I'm pretty sure I had either unova or alola on all 5 of my teams

[hardy fog]

Prob just need to use hau with a grid

[gentle thistle]

I used Unova or Alola in all 5 of my teams too, but it all depends on the sum of everything, for example in that team would be great if you had Classic Elesa to sub Volkner

[gleaming raven]

Oh, nope, missing it for Marnie

[sullen kestrel]

masters 2872

[hardy fog]

You mean zebra?

[gentle thistle]

Emolga

[hardy fog]

O I would love a copy but don't want to pity

[mortal timber]

i think they worded badly that, you gotta debuff them a lot

[gleaming raven]

No its your own pairs

[sullen kestrel]

Cant believe I ended up EXing hau but his nuke was rlly helpful

[gentle thistle]

It's just that you won by a little margin, so don't know if losing terrain will make you lower str but Alola/Unova would compensate the str drop

I EXex OG Elesa too (on water I EXed Kris)

[sullen kestrel]

I EXd may, marnie, elesa, and N but those I wanted to EX anyway for their holo foils

[mortal timber]

i dunno man, it says that i debuffed them 49 times

vs lt surge with tred 3/5

i doubt the enemies debuffed me 49 times

just saying

[sullen kestrel]

Masters 2522, maybe I could go higher but my ticket count

Ever since I started CS in like may/april 2022 I couldnt do all the stages and messed up my ticket count so

[onyx crystal]

It isn't.

The description is wrong.

[sullen kestrel]

DeNA spreading misinformation?

[gentle thistle]

Just went everyone 200 str for the first run, now I wait to see if I get Classic Elesa on daily pulls and the updates for best teams to redo on the last days and if needed I'll EX Hau and BP Sophocles...

[livid tusk]

Is this fine or should I switch it up?

[onyx crystal]

This was pain.

[livid tusk]

I could probably aim to have Rat on Elesa’s Stage instead

And then send someone else to do Volkner

Having a hard time navigating with all the Supports and almost no Damager Dealers

[worn vessel]

I hate this event

[hardy fog]

This is our stats or enemy stats?

That's so weird so you want enemy to debuff you as much as possible?

[tardy quartz]

Cooking so hard i’m setting the kitchen on fire

[topaz sleet]

it has to be enemy stats just based off experience

this is probably a mistranslation

got 0 points on a team where i did get debuffed by crunch but didnt debuff the enemy at all

[dim night]

Really noticed that for any other Electric pairs, they'll struggle considerably (but can still win). But against the rats (particularly Ash) and NC Blue, they'll... just... meeeeeeelt...

[tardy quartz]

I just had a moment

On Elesa, Sonia got Para’d before she uses nuzzle

Thus, avoided the AoE para and beat the stage

RNG works in fun ways.

[desert sky]

How many points u need for the medal

[trim beacon]

I thought u meta people do this all day

I only did 1 good run and the rest were mid :(

I need teams to copy as I can't read 😪

[shy flower]

We won't know until it gets closer to the end. Last time it was around 230k, so it'll likely be close to that

[round stone]

probably over considering how many people have the rats. I'd just play it safe and aim for 300k

[desert sky]

Ok

[ornate turret]

no chance in hell it'll reach 250k let alone 300k

[desert sky]

I will just aim for all the rewards

I don't have enough units

[shy flower]

Don't forget that a lot of people who got the Water type medal aren't bothering to push this time, so the competition should be less tight

The rats are good, as are NC Blue and SS Hau, but you need high move levels on the others to do particularly well

[ornate turret]

team building, skill issues, the rules/challenges are not as good as the last time, you don't want to drag the fight, smaller roster than water, fewer flinch units..

[round stone]

me casually getting top 350 despite doing a HS run first try:

that was in elec high score

[ornate turret]

having the rats doesn't mean you'll get the medal, seeing people with 3/5 struggling

[round stone]

skill issue

[shy flower]

I hit #909 on my first run through and that was only 200 strength per. It'll go up from there, but not that much

Unless you're scrambling for the top

[blissful pivot]

Add 50 strength get +2k points this is why i hate this fucking game mode it just isn't worth the grind

[crude iron]

C Blue, BP Clemont, Sonia, LElesa(?)… I don’t get who my fifth electric tank is still ngl

[shy flower]

BP Surge?

In a pinch, Volkner works fine as a tank

[crude iron]

Wish elessa wasn’t an evasion tank of all types of tanks, had exd her for sync accel teams a while back but now I barely use her due to her being hard to really make work

Would elessas bulk be ok if I paired her with bp surge? Or is she unsalvageable

[shy flower]

I haven't used BP Surge at all, so I can't really say for sure, but I at least see he has Endurance and First Aid on his grid, so he might be better to take the hits at first

I did use SS Elesa on my vs Marnie team, but she almost died after the first hit

[topaz sleet]

bp surge isnt amazing at tanking but he can at least eat a few hits, pair him with one of your better damage dealers, maybe n

[onyx current]

What’s the minimum point total for max rewards

[worn bronze]

The same as last time

BP Surge is fine as a tank

As Chezei said there’s endurance

First aid

[crude iron]

I’m prob gonna be using 2 or 3 offtype dps cause my electric box is kinda gross

[worn bronze]

It’ll take some hits

[onyx current]

Idk what that is

[shy flower]

180k I think?

[crude iron]

180k

[worn bronze]

180k

[onyx current]

Oh Swag

Wait so 180k pet each round?

[crude iron]

Total

180 per round isn’t possible

Lmao

[worn bronze]

That’s like under 40k each round

Which is easy for your roster

[topaz sleet]

36k

[onyx current]

Not with my electric units

I have 2 limited electric units

[worn bronze]

Jasmine and Nemona?

Damn, you really don’t have another one

And Kris?

I thought you had Jolteon

[onyx current]

I do

But those units don’t exactly offer DPS

And CElesa

I’m not even going to bother with this hs it’s not worth my time

[worn bronze]

[crude iron]

shouldnt be hard with 2 on type 1 offtype for some teams

[shy flower]

A lot of people seem to be just on-typing for the weakness and bringing two electric units for points

[crude iron]

on type can score over 50k even without some of the op pairs so

[worn bronze]

I was thrown a challenge by nov, so I gotta at least try

[crude iron]

so 36k with an offtype dps is 100% possible

[worn bronze]

I already made some questionable EX decisions and candy decisions but I was going to candy them eventually

[onyx current]

I guess that wasn’t enough welp

[atomic rain]

today on i am an idiot i fucked up my queues and accidentally gave volkner terrain on sync when i was about to win :’)

[crude iron]

imo getting close to 30k is enough if your full electric teams overperform. id save the offtype slots for dps, personally, with most electric boxes.

elesa can 100% get above average with ex and full electric team

def save the offtype teams for where you have weaker electric units

[fast lark]

This stage alone took wayyyy too long

Heavily rng based

[onyx current]

I’m struggling while using SCDiantha at 200 points so I just don’t think I’m even going to bother

I do not have the energy for this

[ornate turret]

PU ticket is a round number again

[bright river]

I tried with 1000 strength. It worked.

[onyx current]

Not me EX’ing Clemont Volkner to end up not using them

Yeah I’m just wasting energy

[chilly flame]

@onyx crystal can we talk about how annoying these are compared to the water one

Like

Volkner para/evasion
Elesa just hitting like a truck and then aoe nuzzle
Surge having no healing (even tho he’s the easiest)

The parameters are so bad too

Alright I got that off my chest

First round clears are done

Surge: 500
Volkner: 400
Elesa: 400
Clemont: 550
Marnie: 450

[onyx current]

This mode is not for me it’s very not fun

[chilly flame]

It’s not

[sturdy glen]

the lack of options is so annoying
unless you have literally everything and all EX
at least 1 to 3 stage will give problems

[chilly flame]

Well not having EX and having a lack of copies for units is always gonna be a factor

[sturdy glen]

JESUS I LITERALLY HAVE TO EX BP CLEMONT AND/OR LODGE ELESA
WHAT THE FUCK

[chilly flame]

But yea they are lacking

For example look at my team vs Marnie

If my ss hau was 3/5 I could bump that up another 10k

[sturdy glen]

im ok in lacking copies because
grid tiles are still a lower boost than EX
that gives straight stat boosts

[chilly flame]

Well I meant that more for supports since they are absolutely clutch but yea I see what you mean

[sturdy glen]

yeah supports are an exception
(eg blue that can debuff attacks
and tank the entire universe with ER3)

[sullen kestrel]

I just want to get the medal this time, psychic is prob like the only other one I could do

180k is easy enough ig

[onyx current]

I kept thinking it was 160k i hate it here

[atomic rain]

i have 82k rn but the other 3 fights are complete stonewalls for me atm

[ornate cobalt]

Wait so roster wise who do I need to ex (I at least got everyone that was three started to four and that’s all I can do)

I am just so mad that the candy is the last reward

I could 3/5 ash

[atomic rain]

i hate how electric eggmons are all garbage poopoo water instead of water eggmons being somewhat useful

[atomic rain]

the coin you mean?

[ornate cobalt]

Yes

The coin

[sullen kestrel]

What was the cutoff for the water HS? For the medal

[ornate cobalt]

54 5* since I am waiting for the NCs to come home I have a lot to spare

[atomic rain]

237k

[chilly flame]

I think it’s gonna be lower this time around

[atomic rain]

it could be worse since the top of electric is a lot better than the top of water

[atomic rain]

but i think it’ll be lower yeah

[ornate cobalt]

So I guess we run 300 to get up to 180k?

[atomic rain]

nah

you can definitely go lower if you run all mono electric

like 200

[ornate cobalt]

Ahh thank god

[sullen kestrel]

Yeah but its mostly good/decent water pairs vs a few good electric and also water has more pairs

I hope its alot lower, im at 215k and dont rlly want to do more

[ornate cobalt]

I don’t know who to use v who team wise but I assume that I could do it like this? Atm these are the only teams I can think of

[forest panther]

Done! Top 14 with 321k+
Can't really grab too much more with Ash/Red/Blue/Hau locked at 1/5 but pretty satisfying already

Strength:

• Lt. Surge 470
• Volkner 450
• Elesa 460
• Clemont 410
• Marnie 500

[chilly flame]

Omg group photo

[onyx crystal]

Mind editing the strength in? I'm curious myself.

[onyx crystal]

Elesa was very rng. I still have to do the other 3.

[chilly flame]

Oh yea are you gonna do another list like before

[onyx crystal]

Yeah. I'd prefer it if it wasn't multiple updates per day.

[chilly flame]

I only promise to try

[forest panther]

Didn't push too much, moreso trying to balance with my non invested stuff and keep in mind the battle points. Added them in

[onyx crystal]

[chilly flame]

Just added my strength as well

[onyx crystal]

Yeah, you can probably sqeeze a lot more out of Elesa and Marnie.

[onyx crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/nice-gif-21458880

[forest panther]

Elesa not too much actually but Marnie definitely (though still limited by Sync lvl), as well as Surge that has room for a bit more.
I'll publish the run tomorrow

[chilly flame]

I hate how frail hau is

[onyx crystal]

I really should've recorded 🫠

I hate that there is no replay feature.

I can watch all the Ash+SSTRed+SSAC clears I want from every stage, but can't replay my own runs.

[forest panther]

Yeah

[dim night]

Welp. There goes my chance for a medal then lol

[chilly flame]

Wdym

[worn bronze]

There’s a couple weeks

And electric sync pair depth isn’t as good as water, especially with the accessible options

[ornate cobalt]

Should I ex elesa zeb?

[crude iron]

which is the better electric striker to pair with volkner, N 1/5 or Elesa 5/5?

[crude iron]

if you want to score high here yeah probably. but if you just want 180k, it MIGHT be possible without. depends on box really, imo.

[karmic osprey]

Gonna be cooking up some more but this is just first runthrough

[half orchid]

definitely elesa

[candid cobalt]

Elesa's def better

N was struggling above 200 strength

I'm already at 260k points so I think I might just stop here

Don't think I can really get any more points

[ornate cobalt]

My roster

[crude iron]

you have pikachus, n and hau. you dont need ex zebstrika for 180k

only if you wanna go for medal maybe

[ornate cobalt]

I already did surge marnie the only ones left are volkner elesa and Clemont I used ash and sst red and hau

I am thinking if this team for volkner

[torn cedar]

If you have a bad dps you and you want to try off type 1 person instead, what is the strength difference you need to add the multiplier to offset it being off type? Is it like double or...?

[crude iron]

having trouble making elesa+volkner+1 work on any of these lol. lt surge and elesa both get basically tickled at +200, and my teams are dying to their syncs.

would just flop over and die to volkner/clemont i think and would tickle marnie

[sullen kestrel]

If ur going for 180k u need 36k a stage atleast, so if u only run 2 u need 18k points and if u run 3 u need 12k

So 1.5 times higher

[torn cedar]

Thank you! Good to know

I wonder if we get to a point where like NC marnie is better than like base elesa

[crude iron]

whats the min strength for 12k pre mult probably

[torn cedar]

If those are your options

[crude iron]

(same with 18k pre mult)

[sullen kestrel]

I think 300, but I just do 11,970 (299)

Idk ant 18k, id assume like 450?

[topaz sleet]

use volkner vs lt surge imo. the rest all have electric-type sync moves that get buffed by electric terrain, but surge’s is steel type

[crude iron]

oh god are the bonus points really that bad here where i need 300, i think i only did like 250 str in water HS maybe even 200

[sullen kestrel]

This is assuming u ONLY get points from str

U can get points from other things so u can prob go lower

[topaz sleet]

surge actually barely uses any electric moves only the electrode on the side uses them, def the safest place to use electric terrain

[ornate cobalt]

So you can do 200-300 to get 180? I did 300 on marnie

[crude iron]

what 3rd slot would i fill the lt surge team with, if 2/3 are volkner elesa

[sullen kestrel]

Bp surge or clemont

For attack buffs or defense debuffs

[ornate cobalt]

Going up against volkner with joltick sshau and surgerode

[topaz sleet]

leaning bp surge yeah

[sullen kestrel]

Oh sonia too ofc

[topaz sleet]

ehh sonia is best used vs elesa imo

elesa uses all physical moves

sonia will get steel beamed vs lt surge

also no healing vs surge so her potions are wasted

[ornate cobalt]

I have Clemont volkner and elesa left I am doing (200) I was thinking N Sonia and joltick?

[topaz sleet]

n and sonia are good vs elesa

i would save joltik for clemont

clemont uses all special moves so her sp def buffs are more appreciated there

[ornate cobalt]

Ahhh I see ty

I’ll use rt suge then to buff?

[topaz sleet]

nah sonia gives n all the buffs he needs, bp surge i'd put with marnie vs volkner

for a 3rd you can really just throw anything

[ornate cobalt]

Hmmm

[topaz sleet]

what move level is ss hau

[ornate cobalt]

I guess playerchu

1

[topaz sleet]

ah ok

i dont know a lot about ss hau cuz i dont have him but from what i gather at 1/5 his damage isnt too great

hes a good 3rd to throw to someone who needs speed buffs

maybe bp surge marnie and ss hau on volkner?

the clemont can do lodge elesa, normal elesa, and clemont

maybe swap clemont and ss hau actually thinking about it cuz elesa wants those speed buffs and electric terrain cuz marnies gonna be using power trip mostly

that does mean you lose the unova/alola score bonus vs volkner though so if those 3000 points matter to u then keep hau vs volkner

oh wait im stoopid u shouldnt use tech units vs clemont

put mcchu on clemont and clemont on elesa

[crude iron]

having trouble at +200 on bp surge volkner elesa vs surge
getting to the final hit and he just outpaces me at the end

had one time where i quadqueued but ran into gauge problem

[ornate cobalt]

Can you dumb this all down for me

[grand perch]

So who’s tryharding this high score?

I’m just a filthy casual this time haha

[topaz sleet]

i def textwalled sorry

volkner: marnie/bp surge/ss hau
elesa: n/sonia/clemont
clemont: elesa/lodge elesa/mcchu

[ornate cobalt]

Ty ill see how it goes

[topaz sleet]

whats ur electric roster

i'd separate ash and c blue, they're both broken enough to carry a team. blue can stay with hau, swap ash with clemont because your volkner team is kinda lacking in damage

volkner and sst red together seems a bit redundant? i'd move red to elesa's stage (especially bc his max move inflicts paralysis on everything which is kinda needed), elesa to clemont's stage, and bp sophocles to surge's stage

those swaps will probably make it work

[bright river]

Done

[topaz sleet]

oh wait do you not have bp clemont? he's probably a better pick on the clemont stage since its a bit lacking in defenses

dunno if this helps anyone but i’ll put my teams here, was enough for top 100 for now. probably not super helpful cuz 5/5 n isnt exactly common lol

ah rip

well the event is going for 2 weeks, you got time

he's super valuable here imo

nah not really cuz you probably arent bringing your flying type sync pairs here

[paper mist]

Improved my scores a bit. Don’t think I can do any better against Surge without giving 2 candies to Volkner though…will retry Elesa tomorrow

Marnie is 500 STR

[light star]

got all the items no point stressing myself out the points since medal already acquired

[topaz sleet]

lodge elesas another unit worth grabbing if you think you can get her fast enough

[paper mist]

I think I can go higher against Marnie as well

[light star]

looks like the threshold is alot lower this time

the top score is not even 400k

[long oyster]

The event just started

[topaz sleet]

people will def optimize

but yeah, there are less broken electric pairs than water pairs

granted the broken electric pairs there are are like.... the best units in the game

[long oyster]

The challenges are also pretty weird

"Get debuffed for more points !"

[topaz sleet]

thats a mistranslation

you gotta debuff the opponent

[paper mist]

no, it says allies

[topaz sleet]

yeah i know

but its wrong

[long oyster]

Oh

[topaz sleet]

you get points for debuffing the opponent

[light star]

guess they got lazy and just put it through google translate

[topaz sleet]

apologems pls...

[long oyster]

The c!elesa rerun makes sense now

[topaz sleet]

had a clear where my c blue, with impervious, and my entire team never got debuffed, and i had him and clemont both debuffing and i got like 2000 extra points on the debuff challenge

its def a mistranslation

this should probably be made more known

[light star]

cant wait for the poison challenge: get poisoned for bonus points

[topaz sleet]

i sent an inquiry too hopefully dena addresses

[paper mist]

i showed u my bug pls respond

[long oyster]

I will without a doubt require apologems from them

[crude iron]

Jeez this barely clears on 200 pt

And requires the right flinches too

[woven wren]

My first (and possibly) last time doing this lol

[crude iron]

hey, does anyone know if Status moves like Screech or whatever count as hits?

[sullen pier]

No they dont

[crude iron]

thats prob a minor optimization people will abuse then for extra pts

and also means i lost a few points from using thunder punch

[sullen pier]

Moves dealing dmg count towards hit, with each target being counted as one hit

[crude iron]

i prob coulda saved a few hits too if i was willing to ex bpsurge but bleh

[tardy quartz]

Just cracked 100,000 on Marnie

Video currently uploading

[sullen kestrel]

Yeah but since u need 15 units u want the whole roster to be good, not like 5 good limiteds and the best being meh

[topaz sleet]

yeah for sure

that's where water has an advantage

i had sst red, ash, and c blue all carry their own respective teams, then kinda threw whatever together to finish

[sullen kestrel]

I ended up EXing hau, idk if it was worth it cuz I have 3/5 ash but eh

It helps alot, bcz his dps is meh but he has a good nuke

[fast lark]

I’m fine with this

Already got the master medal so no point trying to go for higher score (it was a pain)

[stray dust]

Super low effort done

[sullen kestrel]

Why go beyond 180k if u have the medal? Personally I wouldnt go for higher in future ones if I get it this time

[long oyster]

For fun

[ornate turret]

for challenges, flex, see how your roster grow...

[stray dust]

That's what I thought too there's no motivation to go through the rng hell agn

[rough ginkgo]

~~10 ~~

[ornate turret]

it's probably the only competitive mode that some whales and longterm players care about

[light star]

the japanese players are still trying hard

[tardy quartz]

The quality might be crap atm but:
101,199 points Marnie. 900 Strength.
https://youtu.be/mTmGaHwMnBA?si=sMymHLRks4sgJQW-

[shy flax]

to get more power up tickets

[stray dust]

Whale here I can tell u my time is better used on my other game

[ornate turret]

yeah just some, not all, some don't even bother, they just like collecting sync pairs

[rough ginkgo]

Only 2/5 SS Hau

[chilly flame]

This is so fire 🔥🗣️

Why is the video quality in the negatives

[tardy quartz]

3/5 tomorrow

[tardy quartz]

It’s still processing

[stray dust]

Not needing to reset and do this low effort really feels much better than water high score

[rough ginkgo]

Acceptable

[atomic hamlet]

wait I was just doing my initial run why am i this high...

[signal needle]

Eskiusmi flexer

[ornate turret]

japanese still sleeping

[atomic hamlet]

been converted into the @cyan tusk cult ur so good bro lol

[stray dust]

Because it's only day 2 and electric roster limited as heck

[atomic hamlet]

yeah I don't think I'll stay top 10 lol but I do wanna tryhard this gamemode I think I can aim for top 50

[sullen kestrel]

Its day 1

[azure idol]

Jump scare

What was the top 100 cut off last time?

[bright river]

Doing a +1000 clear on Volkner felt good

[stray dust]

363k

But it's water so it's bloated

[stray dust]

I think your current score will last for top 50

[atomic hamlet]

i kinda doubt that

my runs felt like they left a lot on the table

[stray dust]

That doesn't mean everyone can do that score easily

[signal needle]

And electric is different.?

[ornate cobalt]

I am guessing I use Clemont for debuff accuracy?

[signal needle]

[stray dust]

Yes because the roster is limited

Well only time will tell

Some double rats 3/5 havers got their medals before and see no value in this HS before it alr started

[atomic hamlet]

do you mean limited as the electric type roster is lacking in good pairs or as in electric type roster just has a lot of limited

[azure idol]

Quaggles and Enigma popping out on the board from nowhere lmao

[stray dust]

Both

Just go to poma sync pairs tracker and see water and electric types

[atomic hamlet]

I coasted in the 2000's last time around I'm here to play now

[sullen kestrel]

2,845

Idk if I can go higher

[atomic hamlet]

ok well I guess if you compare electric to water then yes it's "worse" but electric to many other types is very better off

[stray dust]

Hell u can even lurk in this channel and see how many people gets 300k

[azure idol]

Water has more disruptors

[chilly kayak]

electric is being carried mostly by 2 pairs damage wise

[topaz sleet]

yeah or speed debuffing adds points

[chilly kayak]

water has more going for it

[ornate cobalt]

Oh thank god Clemont is the final one

Literally

Down to the latter save by N

[signal needle]

Looks pretty good alrdy with these modest teams

[sullen kestrel]

Hopefully its enough bcz my only other electric is mchu

[signal needle]

U can swap tl elesa and BP surge, afterwards put mc chu and swap out BP sophicles

See if then u can get higher

[sullen kestrel]

Surge is there for attack buffs

[signal needle]

But he tanks poorly against clem doesnt he

[sullen kestrel]

Also im too lazy to re do any stages again rn ill see tmrw or closer to the end

[sullen kestrel]

Yeah, does elesa do better?

[signal needle]

Aoe Sp def and buff crit for N

[sullen kestrel]

Ig I could try it

[azure idol]

I want to improve this one, who's a good replacement for MC rat? I don't have Nemona

[sage crater]

Guys can i get to master with these? My max is only 210k atm rip

[signal needle]

I wonder bp surge with synchro

[atomic hamlet]

just as a vague statement I'd say another support for ash

[shell oak]

honestly i didnt look at any guides, just yolo'd and this is where i got

[azure idol]

That leaves BP Surge or SS Elesa

[signal needle]

Actually Clemont is a sucker for debuff too

[shell oak]

and my teams

[atomic hamlet]

surge doesn't do anything for ash at all, but neither does ss elesa except if you wanna do tm mpr fishing bs for sync accel lol

wow mc pika really was just a better option lmao

[sage crater]

Did you get the medal? Or you need to stay at master until the end of hs event?

[desert elm]

I got the medal from Water. Maybe I’ll retry this weekend but rewards were main goal.

[shell oak]

Ive had the medal since water HS this was just me going in blind

[stray dust]

Seems like a lot of post here are in the 250k-280k zone

[sage crater]

Ah i see

[azure idol]

Hmm maybe I'll finish optimizing with others then play around SS Elesa

[sullen kestrel]

I ended up scoring lower

[ornate cobalt]

I think I’ll have to ex elesa striker

[signal needle]

But strikes cant debuff

[topaz sleet]

i used this exact team but bp surge instead of mc rat just so he could paralyze everything

[ornate cobalt]

Are you talking to me?

[topaz sleet]

bp surge can spam thunder wave so he's not wasting hits, since you get higher score for less hits

my score was about 61k so i guess it was more optimal looool

[azure idol]

That's an interesting take, what's your difficulty level?

[topaz sleet]

+400

[azure idol]

Wow I got 58.8k with 430

[cunning shore]

Probably less moves and less time made up for it

[atomic rain]

honestly for not even having 15 electrics this isnt bad

i think with bt leon i can go way higher on elesa

[elfin spade]

Forgive me if I’m wrong but I don’t think elesa is weak to dragon so if you’re gonna use a non-electric unit why not pick a stage where you can abuse super effective damage?

[atomic rain]

debuffing her so i can actually live

[elfin spade]

That’s a bad use of offtype units ngl

Just use an eggmon support somewhere and turn down the strength

[jagged eagle]

No rats so I'm happy with this

[elfin spade]

You’ll get more points by doing lower strength and using electric units

[ornate cobalt]

Ehe whooo I am done

[atomic rain]

dude this was all like 200 str

i cant go a lot lower than that

[ornate cobalt]

And finally ex 3/5 ash is my grasp

[elfin spade]

Also just use a super effective damage dealer if you don’t have an electric unit

[atomic rain]

is there an electric eggmon that buffs attack?

cuz i have

[sullen kestrel]

I have ash and could only get 217k tho I also dont have hjas, celesa, bluedos, ss hau, or ny volkner

[azure idol]

Electabuzz

[atomic rain]

voltorb which honestly kinda sucks and pichu which is special

[elfin spade]

an eggmon somewhere else so you can use an electric support for elesa will be way better trust

[atomic rain]

and thats the one i dont have

[elfin spade]

Also swap out Leon and use a better damage dealer somewhere

At least use a broken super effective damage dealer if you’re not gonna use an electric unit

You can easily get a way higher score on that battle to get all rewards

[atomic rain]

yeah i mean

i dont have much left

[elfin spade]

Bruh use bp soph somewhere

[atomic rain]

i did

[jagged eagle]

oof yeah tanks are scarce

[elfin spade]

Yeah you can clear that battle on low strength with Hau, either of the sophs and an electric support (use an eggmon in another battle)

You’ll get a better score

[azure idol]

Use Surge on some special stage, he's great

[cunning shore]

Hau no crit

[atomic rain]

im not concerned with the medal im just posting progress

[elfin spade]

Or swap Leon for a broken striker

Do you care about the rewards?

[cunning shore]

They're nearly there

170k iirc

[elfin spade]

Yeah it’s so close

[atomic rain]

i mean yes i know what i can do but my elec roster sucks

[elfin spade]

They could literally just replace Leon with a better damage dealer and use an eggmon support and get an extra 10k easy

[elfin spade]

I’m literally telling you what you can do

[cunning shore]

Use OP on type unit and 2 electric fodder

[elfin spade]

Anyway there’s the advice

[frosty glacier]

if you go with one non-electric unit, how much would you have to raise the strength to get a higher score though?

[cunning shore]

They already did the stage with 2 non-electrics and got like 17k for it

[elfin spade]

Quite high, it’s almost always better to just use 3 electric with low strength

Unless you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel of your roster

[cunning shore]

If it's 1 OP unit to carry both, with same difficulty it will double his score

I think doesn't even need ontype. Just your best non-electric unit to carry. Since the stage weakness is ground rock and fairy probably rough choices.

[atomic rain]

i have ss diantha the problem is i have no one to take hits

[elfin spade]

You can also do the non-electric unit on a different stage that isn’t as hard as elesa

She does the most damage this event so she’s not really the one to use electric fodder

[topaz sleet]

static shock 8 is borked

[atomic rain]

oops

dont be me and use bp soph to tank

[topaz sleet]

move sonia to elesa

clemont doesnt use any physical moves

her def buffs go to waste

[atomic rain]

i mean im not going for medal

[topaz sleet]

oh ok nvm then lol

[atomic rain]

i was too worried about maxing attack but yeah that doesnt matter much

i realize that now

[light star]

poison type high score when

[atomic rain]

im like 100% dropping

[full lark]

5th anniversary

[elfin spade]

Okay I’m glad you took the advice good job

[light star]

[topaz sleet]

i'm hoping when they do less common types they'll do dual type high score events

[atomic rain]

but my electric roster is so bad i cba to try

[topaz sleet]

like, a rock and ground type high score would be neat

[light star]

normal masterfair for jks

[atomic rain]

ok can you please change your tone it really feels like im being condescended to

[full lark]

Source: None, I gave a goofy answer because who knows

[light star]

[atomic rain]

like im tired my brain isnt working

[elfin spade]

??

Sorry if it came across that way

It wasn’t intended

[atomic rain]

yeah i know it wasnt it just felt that way tho

[elfin spade]

It was a /gen moment

My b

[atomic rain]

i remember scrambling to push my water hs

on the last day

that fucking sucked

cuz it was like 200 attempts on misty for the perfect rng

and then i pushed lana out of spite cuz i was barely out

after misty wronged me for like 6 hours straight

[candid cobalt]

Phew

Finally got to 262911 points

[onyx crystal]

Total Score: 337,023 -- Rank 10 as of <t:1694747940:f>

• STR 500 vs Lt. Surge Grids
• STR 300 vs Volker Grids
• STR 500 vs Elesa Grids
• STR 550 vs Clemont Grids
• STR 700 vs Marnie Grids

I decided to just call it for the night, if I upgrade Zebstrika I could do a lot more on the Volkner Stage.
I tried my original teams, but Clemont sucked vs Elesa, so I moved him into Surge team, and moved Nemona to Clemont team.
You can't really wait around for Clemont to debuff speed, so I had to change Red's grid to incl Shocking Slowdown 9.

[crude iron]

Which boss should I use N & Zekrom on? (1/5)

Since the only one I've done is surge

[onyx crystal]

Wherever your using Sonia

Sonia’s best stage is Elesa

[crude iron]

So Sonia's a better partner than NC Blue for rebuff? I don't have any other EX electric strikers so

Other 3 stages will probably have non-electric dps

[onyx crystal]

I mean nc blue is good regardless. But N needs a low gauge support that will buff its ATK and crit

I don’t know what your teams are, but if you want 180k, you wanna use only 1 non elec per team

[crude iron]

Yeah, I'm mostly lacking on the DPS side for my electric box so I'm using offtypes for 3 of my best DPS

[onyx crystal]

Like ncblue can life up Hau and PotionChu, for a x3 score

You could just say N and ncBlue

[crude iron]

Mostly posted box to show the offtype DPS options

[onyx crystal]

Would’ve saved me the trouble of looking at this unsorted pic 🫠

[crude iron]

Sorry

[onyx crystal]

Grab ncMarnie for volkner

Or Zoroark, since it’s 3/5

[crude iron]

Would SS Serena probably be my best fighter against Clemont, since double Ground weak targets?

[forest ferry]

Zerena ground dps not great

[crude iron]

Oh

[onyx crystal]

I mean, it should be better since it’ll be double

[forest ferry]

It's already doing half damage due to aoe penalty and sync is still dragon type.....

[crude iron]

LElesa+N+atk buffer? would be my other idea for Clemont then

[forest ferry]

Well I'd use zerena over N
N sucks

[onyx crystal]

And CE will just be halved without getting doubled. I don’t see the issue. Thousand Waves is warranted when vs on-type.

[forest ferry]

I don't see much electric stuff so zerena is the way ig

[pure jungle]

can probably also use BPClemont + Elesa + another offensive buffer to help elesa

[crude iron]

I already used my Elesa on LTSurge

[pure jungle]

ahhhh

[crude iron]

this was my surge, the only boss ive done so far

had to do a lot of resets to get the right flinches and to not be AOE hit presync so elesa didn't die to the sync bomb

[atomic rain]

the problem for me was making sure mc chu had enough hp to take steel beam to the face

[onyx crystal]

Using Zerena on Clemont is a good idea imo

[atomic rain]

why not elesa

[crude iron]

look literally 2 msgs above you taiyo

[atomic rain]

or is it specifically status and those 3 status changes

[crude iron]

[atomic rain]

eh is this for medal chasing

[crude iron]

oh, for the stage, Zerena wouldnt trigger Status condition, only status change

[atomic rain]

if it is you can probably afford an off typer

[crude iron]

im going for 180k

[atomic rain]

i know it says interference but does that mean specifically trap confuse or flinch

[crude iron]

I just want the coin

[atomic rain]

or any status change

[crude iron]

oh, it says or interference, huh.

didnt notice the or interference part till now

[atomic rain]

yeah which is why im asking

cuz that wording is vague as hell

obviously the easy route is to use soph/celesa

[onyx crystal]

It’s not any status change. Just the 3

[atomic rain]

but it never hurts to test

[atomic rain]

ew

but expected

[crude iron]

gross.

[atomic rain]

i mean for 180k you can easily afford 2 off type dps carry

[crude iron]

i also find Marnie's stage gross, fairy weak special... thatd be PSerena if i didnt wanna fully offtype the dps there, lol.

[atomic rain]

but you gotta do like 180-200 str mono electric for the other stages

or else you wont get enough

[atomic rain]

im 99% sure its meant for ss hau

[crude iron]

yeah probably

i dont own him tho

skipped alola month cause no aether family

[atomic rain]

i just nuked with clemont

[crude iron]

[atomic rain]

with a lot of tm mpr fishing from ss elesa

cuz mine is 1/5

[crude iron]

my elessa is 5/5 ex, and even then i just lean on HS1 when i use her

admittedly adrenaline might be better if i was willing to reset for leg up on her teams but, eh

[atomic rain]

i didnt bother with leg up cuz ss hau tm in zone is -1

it procced sometimes which did kinda fuck me up some times tho

[crude iron]

too bad my rock type nukes want sandstorm else elesa stage would be super simple

[atomic rain]

i got ss diantha so like

lmao

[main pulsar]

OH YOU THINK

[crude iron]

i have olivia and emmet

[atomic rain]

i used n on clemont

it was rough

[primal shadow]

Speaking of N

I am also now finding out that he sucks

Would 5/5 Elesa be better

Than 2/5 N

[atomic rain]

yes

[crude iron]

yeah, cause nuke go brrr (and she can get enough standfast easily to just ignore recoil)

[pure jungle]

I'm appreciating elesa even more after this HS

[atomic rain]

nuking is really important cuz even at 200str most dps moves just hit for nothing

[primal shadow]

Ok time to see what she can do

Who would win?
The god of truth
Or
One stripey boi

[storm sinew]

i don't have enough electric types to make 5 full teams, should i just ontype damage dealers for the empty slots

[elfin spade]

Yeah or use eggmons

[storm sinew]

are there any that are particularly recommended for this event

[onyx crystal]

don't use eggs

[elfin spade]

Really?

I thought in general it’s better to use an eggmon and go for lower strength than use a non-electric

[onyx crystal]

Eggs at high str without investment will just die, and with investment can't help you clear

[onyx crystal]

Yes, with probably your strongest strikers, esp if they have a type-advantage

[tame sentinel]

what's a general good range for strength across rounds if you're trying to go for master rank?
i'm trying my weakest team first and not sure what a good baseline is for a high strength amount for trying to get master

[pure jungle]

i used 200 for most of my half baked teams

[onyx crystal]

For just top 10,000, you don't need more than 220.

At least for right now.

[tame sentinel]

oh okay nice ty

i didn't try too much for water cause i was busy then so i don't know what's high and what's low lol

was STRUGGLING trying to do 400 on a weak team

[pure jungle]

last time it was 232k for top10k

[onyx crystal]

Well 400 is pretty high.

[tame sentinel]

yeah i had no idea what was high and low lol glad i asked

i'll try 200 then and see

[onyx crystal]

My top 10 score is with Strength 500+.

[tame sentinel]

oooo nice

[pure jungle]

I was just barely hanging on a thread that time

this time around still the same

[tame sentinel]

do you think Clemont with Blue and Zapdos is fine for 200? or is it too weak and should i try lower

on 400 it was getting everyone to a bit below 50%

[signal needle]

[primal shadow]

Wow I'm actually getting somewhere with Elesa over N

[pure jungle]

Elesa after expansion is surpisingly good

[tame sentinel]

i don't have enough electric types so i'm trying to make both 5/5 Elesa and 2/5 N work and not looking forward to it lol

[primal shadow]

Bro why is the bloody dragon useless

[pure jungle]

I just didnt realized it until i used her for this

[tame sentinel]

is he that bad

[crude iron]

just did mcchu + zerena + elessa on clemont no clue if that was good but, meh. 29k seems... ok for an offtype

[formal quiver]

I feel like i wasted 80 PU in this event for nothing

[crude iron]

prob will redo that later with higher str

[primal shadow]

He needs so much support

[tame sentinel]

oof

[formal quiver]

100 strength probably was enough to get that medal

[primal shadow]

For mediocre damage

[tame sentinel]

i was planning on doing a low strength run with him and Volkner for electric terrain and whatever supports i had available

might have to go even lower or save a good support

[hard willow]

this highscore event is such a pain for new player

[primal shadow]

Yeah it's an endgame mode alright

As in I wanna end my game

[pure jungle]

[tame sentinel]

moves like Iron Defense and Eerie Impulse don't count as attacks for the less attacks condition right?

or do they?

[primal shadow]

Making me EX my BP Lt Surge and BP Clemont smh my head

[maiden canopy]

BP Clemont isn't bad to EX

But Lt. Shit is yeah

[primal shadow]

BP one isn't

Dudes kit is packed

[crude iron]

Ow.

[maiden canopy]

Nah, BP Shit is too

[primal shadow]

Regular Surge aint the worst either, Sp Atk debuff and team speed

[crude iron]

I almost fucking died to the sides

[primal shadow]

What part of full Atk support with speed and defense buffs, guaranteed para, and Synchro Healing is crap

[maiden canopy]

His bulk

[forest ferry]

His bulk is fine

Just reset for 4 MPR procs

[primal shadow]

He's not squishy what are you on about

[forest ferry]

[primal shadow]

He's not SS Blue sure

[maiden canopy]

Fuck that, I'd rather do that with EleSSa than him

[forest ferry]

Yea and die to sync

eleSSa is garbage without nemona or 2nd support

[primal shadow]

But like he has solid bulk comparable to BP Clemont

Who you said is amazing anyway

[forest ferry]

BP surge atleast works if you lack limited electric tanks

[primal shadow]

So ???

[forest ferry]

Well BP clemont struggles to tank 600 str sync

Even at +6 defenses

[maiden canopy]

Is that assuming he's at full HP or with some HP?

[primal shadow]

Right, I'm not expecting them to face tank along the lines of NC Blue

But calling him crap solely on that metric is just objectively wrong

[forest ferry]

People that call BP surge bad are just not resetting enough

+6 defenses BP surge tanks 2 hits post sync at 400 str

[pure jungle]

probably he lacks electrorepulsion but he's fine

[forest ferry]

Well he has lithe

[maiden canopy]

Meh, I just didn't build my Surge for TM MPR

[forest ferry]

Which already makes him workable with all paralysis running around

[maiden canopy]

But other than that, 3 or 4 offensive moves back-to-back from the enemy and he wishes his Raichu is a Pikachu

[pure jungle]

unyielding moments

[forest ferry]

You reset for U2 procs but not MPR?

Wtf

[crude iron]

Jobs done.

did 200's, then a 250 for marnie

(*yes i know, im a bit lazy, but i got what i wanted which was the coin)

which means i now officially have my 2nd yellow candy (was 1 coin off before)

[eternal harbor]

What was the score for the medal last time?

[crude iron]

higher than people are assuming this time will be, dont remember what people said the cutoff was last time

[eternal harbor]

With the current strat I'm using and a decent time investment I'm eyeballing just below 300k, maybe something more if I give it more time
Will it be enough?
Sorry but I took a month break right during that event and I have no idea how high is enough

[crude iron]

according to pins, ~312k was top 500, dunno what the top 1k cutoff was but, 300k is probably a safe goal if you have the rats to even get there

keep in mind that every HS shares a master medal with eachother, you only need it in one

[eternal harbor]

Thanks!
I want to get done with it in this event since I have Ash, Red and Blue to carry 3 clears over 50k
I also got 46k with 1/5 N - BP Clemont - BP Surge which I was not expecting

[crude iron]

if you have SS Hau, he looks like he'd be Marnie duty, else ash is prob your best bet vs her. either way GL!

[pure jungle]

232k+ iirc last time; I was at 234k that time

I think around 232,7xx

I donr remember the exact score

[eternal harbor]

Unfortunately no SS Hau

The teams I'm planning are

• Ash + Clemont + SS Elesa
• Hau + Sophocles + Blue
• Elesa + Lt. Surge + Sonia

I already spent my Red + Volkner + Lodge Elesa for 52k on top of the N team, but I can see going up easy in points with this clear, since I misplayed in the current one

[tame sentinel]

what number is the Master medal like as in top # of players

is it top 1000?

[pure jungle]

10k

[tame sentinel]

ah okay ty

[snow radish]

medal should be the same one as last time right? so no need for me to aim for it again

[sullen kestrel]

Yup

[shy flax]

Is there no way to see other people’s teams on the leaderboard?

[proven bough]

Do I have to do master mode if I wanna get all the rewards

[signal needle]

No

This is not CS

What master mode

But if u want all rewards, your total score needs to cross a point

[cyan tusk]

Said by someone who placed higher than me last LG with 50 units less lmao

[open furnace]

How does this look for the electric stuff?

[fair drift]

Looks really good

[mortal timber]

Room service: cheesecake for all the people in the thread

[tame sentinel]

not bad for early into the event, can definitely raise strength by 10 or 20 on most of those

hopefully i'll snag master this time since i was too ill-equipped for water lol

[signal needle]

Swapping nc blue and sonia should be more effective

[tame sentinel]

you think?

i thought clemont needed all the help he could get

[signal needle]

And then further swapping N and clemont

[tame sentinel]

so i wanted blue type rebuff and sync debuffs for him

[signal needle]

Oh but then

No Unova bonus on 1st

Hmmmm

[tame sentinel]

yeeee

do you think clemont/sophocles/sonia can clear?

[signal needle]

Ok then

No

U need a proper striker with Sonia

Most ppl use N or Elesa vs Elesa

[tame sentinel]

i see

[signal needle]

Maybe u can start by dissolving ur marnie team and moving someone to Vs Volkner

[tame sentinel]

so that it isn't 3 unova/alola altogether you mean?

[signal needle]

Ye
