High Score

[fresh turtle]

I see. So for this one dps is most important

[maiden canopy]

Which is why V. Lucas is fantastic here as he can reapply sun with his sync and has Synchro Healing

Actually, his Synchro Healing is a grid thing, so you might need to give him 3/5 for it

[chilly flame]

Yes

[forest ferry]

Silver has higher dps than lucas can ever try to put out

Silver will sync and spam over heat

[fresh turtle]

Hmm i want to see it lol. Im in doubt because silver doesnt have any dps mulipliers in his grid. Well theres sacred fire but i prefer overheat

[maiden canopy]

Or Sacred Fire if you have WW3 or CS2

[forest ferry]

Vlucas also has excellent tech sync

[digital jungle]

What's World War 3

[maiden canopy]

Not that

[forest ferry]

Not using him vs kiawe is kind of waste imo

[maiden canopy]

WW3= Weathered Warrior 3

[forest ferry]

Especially that stage is fully built for reshiram

[digital jungle]

Ahh blyat

[maiden canopy]

[digital jungle]

That "never available" skill right

[maiden canopy]

It's only on deluxe cookies

[digital jungle]

Idk I see it as that skill which everyone wants but no one has

[fresh turtle]

Dont have him unfortunately

[digital jungle]

Eereeda, Ehdemahn, Silvah

[forest ferry]

Doesn't WW3 SF lose out to silver's dauntless overheat anyways

[onyx crystal]

Solarize vs Flannery is mainly to keep sun based healing active. Since that’s what the Flannery fight will be, lower strength and attrition with synchro healing etc

[forest ferry]

If your silver isn't dauntless build, you aren't climbing ranks in this HS

[onyx crystal]

The grades will be merged. I just put them for now until I go thru each pair.

[royal tiger]

wut, does the opponent have a lot of DEF Entry or something?

[digital jungle]

How important are ranks

[forest ferry]

Only for flex

[royal tiger]

rank just mean you get the trophy or not.

and yeah, flex only.

oh

[digital jungle]

Is it doable to climb ranks without

Like the optimal Pokemon

[forest ferry]

Depends on your goal

If your target is just top 10k

[fresh turtle]

Also i need replacement for ethan against chili. But idk who

[forest ferry]

It's ez as hell

[fresh turtle]

Saw him at D

[onyx crystal]

Getting the rewards is pretty simple if you’ve played a while and the general scouts.

Getting top 100 or 50 requires some invested limited pairs.

[royal tiger]

Y or nah? Or do i reroll again?

[fresh turtle]

He is. i hate sacred fire build lol.

[digital jungle]

What's top 10k

[sullen pier]

top 10k is Master rank

if you stay in top 10k after the end of the event, you will get Master medal

[royal tiger]

if you already have the master medal, you wont get a 2nd one .-.

[digital jungle]

With my current pairs is it doable

[onyx crystal]

Did you clear any of the previous ones?

[sullen pier]

we cant know if you dont send your Fire roster here

[graceful pike]

the worst one was

no 10 4* power ups

[onyx crystal]

For electric top 10k was above 220k

Which is about 44k per stage

Not much higher than the base rewards

[digital jungle]

I posted it awhile back

[arctic quest]

There's a lot of people who ask for help/suggestions and send their rosters, hard to keep track of what everyone's got

[onyx crystal]

Here

[arctic quest]

You reckon it'll be much lower this time round?

[sullen pier]

might be possible if you are willing to hard invest on some pairs

[digital jungle]

Wrong image

[main pulsar]

Hm

[mortal timber]

??!???

[arctic quest]

L o l

[sullen pier]

[mortal timber]

I just lurked here and what

[main pulsar]

Fr

[onyx crystal]

Your roster is pretty low invested. I wouldn’t stress to much about trying for 300k score.

Though you have 3/5 Irida which can help you net some higher score via flinching if you reset for RNG

[digital jungle]

So I can't get top 10k with what I have now

[onyx crystal]

I’m not saying it’s impossible, but you’d have to invest power ups and ex for a single event.

[fresh turtle]

Hows my chili team looking. Is that fine? I saw ethan as D in grading sheet

[lunar loom]

Could I get some advice on how to better optimise these initial draft teams? I feel like champion blue would offer more points than torchic just from debuffs and survivability

[onyx crystal]

I mean you don’t need someone else to tell you, when the event starts. Set your strength to 400 and see how well your 3* support tanks it.

[digital jungle]

So I'll have to wait for near End of Servce huh

So less than 10k people will actually be playing

[royal tiger]

ooof

[arctic quest]

not necessarily, like Sages said it's going to require a lot of investment in terms of both resources & time/patience

It should still be doable but it is a competitive ranking after all

[onyx crystal]

Pykuo demonstrates you don’t always need a limited gacha to get a high score

You do need to actually know the flight though, and how to time your moves.

[digital jungle]

So "don't"?

[arctic quest]

? That's not what I said

[digital jungle]

I mean what you said was essentially "unless you're willing to pool enormous time, effort and resources to one single event, don't bother"

[onyx crystal]

Ethan is just not a good pair for this event. If you have any other option I recommend it. Even ncSerena and adjusting the other fire teams.

[onyx crystal]

If I wasn’t on mobile I’d be able to critique a bit more. I but I’m constantly swapping between the app, pins, and doc on a mobile phone.

[arctic quest]

This is some of the end-game content you're going to encounter, it's designed to be difficult & knowledge of the gamemode/stage gimmicks is essential. I'm just giving you a realistic outlook on what you should expect if you're going to try and go for the medal. Which you don't need to, you could always just try and get the highest rewards possible with your roster and as much effort as you're willing to put in.

[fresh turtle]

Can i sub ethan with an eggmon instead? Unfortunately, the only other one i can replace him is flint

Any good fire eggmon i can use? Aside from support zard and tech 9tails

[digital jungle]

How much time does one normally expect to take to finish this

[onyx crystal]

Fuecoco

[fresh turtle]

Hmm will a tech one do? I dont have his other types

[sullen pier]

the tech one is bad

Fuecoco's support role is the only usable role here

[arctic quest]

Hard to put a count on it, it's going to depend heavily on your familiarity with the stages beforehand, if you've preplanned your teams, how much of a score/strength you're aiming for, and any other relevant factors

[onyx crystal]

If the egg isn’t fully invested up 4star there is no point in bringing it regardless, with max affinity

[digital jungle]

So for an absolute beginner how long would you expect one to take

[fresh turtle]

Yikes. How about magby? Can i use him?

[onyx crystal]

However long it takes you to do champion stadium

[fresh turtle]

Can he evolve? Magmortar?

[onyx crystal]

No Sinnoh evo

Just magmar

[fresh turtle]

Hmm is magmar viable then?

[digital jungle]

But for the actual rewards you need to do almost literally nuttin right

[onyx crystal]

~200-250 strength maybe 300

[fresh turtle]

Figured i cant use rapidash or arcanine sice they will just suicide

[sullen pier]

idt any Fire eggmon is good here except sun setter ones (Fuecoco and Ninetales)

and Flareon too but you only have one day to get it before HS goes away

[forest ferry]

1 day is all you need

[onyx crystal]

Except the hatch time.

[forest ferry]

reset fest last 12 hrs

Just hatch flareon ez

[fresh turtle]

Not pulling on their banners. Will cross fingers on the ticket lol. If theres any fire types im interested at that is here or coming its ss hilda and ss may

[sullen pier]

no i mean eggmon Flareon

[fresh turtle]

Ohhh

[sullen pier]

it has Sunny Day

[fresh turtle]

Oh yea forgot the eevee eggmons are coming too. I hope i get flareon then

[onyx crystal]

It’s not coming in time for most players.

Even then you’d need egg bundles and investment ready. Only diehards people are going to use it in that 12 hour window.

[fresh turtle]

Ye not gonna do that. Im not a diehard for eggmons

I dont even use them normally. Just on rare occasions

[sullen pier]

well you "technically" only want to use sun on 2 stages

[fresh turtle]

I just really want a unit to fill in for ethan lol

[forest ferry]

ethan is defo slot better than 1/5 Vlucas and non sun eggmons

[onyx crystal]

Yeah I think your over emphasizing eggs just because I graded Ethan as D

[sullen pier]

keeping Eruption at full power is annoying

and it doesnt reward you much with the effort

[arctic quest]

simply don't get hit how hard can it be

[fresh turtle]

I cant do that either if im running with hilda

[forest ferry]

It's not hard in HS
Just reset for full st moves

And he has initial dmg guard to tank sync

[fresh turtle]

Just thought he could be like 2nd dps at least

[arctic quest]

He can, he just won't be doing a lot of it As soon as he falls below max it scales terribly and it's AoE

[forest ferry]

like Blaine stage, only move that's aoe is sludge wave

[onyx crystal]

That is exactly what he is. If your using him with Hilda

[forest ferry]

So you just reset when sludgewave happens

[fresh turtle]

Would flint be better than him then in this case?

[forest ferry]

No

[onyx crystal]

That’s debatable.

[forest ferry]

Flint is only better if the stage has too much aoe

[onyx crystal]

Flint has Fire Blast. Would need to look at the numbers

[forest ferry]

This HS barely has aoe coverage

ethan can take sync better due to dmg guard

Flint isn't tanking high str run unless you are running Evelyn or SSmorty or Tina in physical stage

[fresh turtle]

Hmm so ethan is just there to make a full team then lol

Wish gordie was fire. His rebuff would be useful here

[onyx crystal]

This looks like a pretty good draft. Not sure how many non-fires can be used overall without impacting score too much. NcBlue would do wonders here. Or possibly pairing with Gloria to rebuff sides.

[cunning shore]

I think the gap between the top and the middle will be bigger this time around

[cunning shore]

Ethan will be usable. Especially a 5/5 one.

As someone who has Flint at 5/5 20/20, I cannot see how he's gonna be more useful than Ethan. Atleast Ethan can heal, dodge, and can sync

The other one will spam fire blast, miss it and still feel weak, unfortunately.

Who knows though

[sturdy glen]

I cannot see how he's gonna be more useful than Ethan
he does more dmg

[cunning shore]

Bad grid, bad accuracy, no healing or syncing capabilities for any sort of emergency

Time to give Infernape to a Master Fair Dena

[fresh turtle]

I guess ill have to try it 1st. Unfortunately Hilda will be syncing in my team so ethan will just be there to take hits along with kiawe

[cunning shore]

I am stating in general, not a specific stage or setup

As an overall unit

[fresh turtle]

Oh gotcha. Ye outside this event i do use him sometimes. Just to have fun spamming eruption

[arctic quest]

True

[hardy fog]

Base on my roster. Do you kinda see NC Leaf defaulting to go against Kiawe? I feel like drought alert would make Silver really solid going against another team, but not sure who I would put up against Kiawe.

Prob should mention im planning to 3/5 leaf

[cunning shore]

Your only other consistent defense debuffer is Kiawe himself

[hardy fog]

Debuff needs to go Chilli right?

[cunning shore]

Oh yeah

Idk why I thought kiawe wanted defense debuff

Chili is the one who wants that

NC leaf is omni-debuffer anyways

Should be powerful in anystage

Excuse me who dis

[sturdy glen]

isnt that a victory road pair?

[cunning shore]

You might be right

[hardy fog]

I’m thinking flannery I go ss Hilda dps and synchro healer

Actually that feels like a waste

Her multipliers are so good

[rough ginkgo]

I guess its supposed to be rosa

[sullen pier]

Since you dont have any spdef debuffer beside CLeaf, use her on Kiawe stage

Chili stage also has defense multipliers so use Kiawe there, and EX him too

I think SS Hilda being dps only is fine

[mortal timber]

I am using nc leaf on kiawe and anni n on flan

to deal faster with sides

the most scary one for me is gonna be flint

no heals is

[hardy fog]

Man these skill feather is a balckhole can't get a fire dmg gear

Seems like Torchic would be good on Flannery if you don't have any other tech nuke?

[cyan tusk]

Syncro healers are good on flannery

So torchic, 3/5 Evelyn, 3/5 Vlucas

[hardy fog]

Bicio. I’m thinking Hilda Torchic core for Flan. Since I don’t have any other tech nuke and everything else have stronger sync multipliers. Any issues you see? (My roster is a few post up)

What’s the general consensus for ss red? Better vs Blaine or flint

[sturdy glen]

it depends on you have available

no wait... iirc one of the two has sides with rock slide

[hardy fog]

O must be flint let me check

None has rock moves lol

[hardy fog]

Dang Vlucas looks really good for Flannery

[royal tiger]

does Flannery have Sandstorm each sync?

i thought i saw someone said that its only 1 use hum

[haughty haven]

Yes, the only thing bad for him is rock weak

[sullen pier]

[hardy fog]

Hmm trying to see who is less bad as a tank for Flint

If Evelyn is only 1/5 seems like it'd be a good use on flint

[royal tiger]

what other fire supports you've got?

[hardy fog]

Here

[royal tiger]

you could use a broken off-type support if you really need it

or if you've got an fire eggmon

[royal tiger]

who are you taking to who though?

[hardy fog]

Initial thoughts but not firm on any

[royal tiger]

Oh, VS Flannery sets up sand on entry

I'd probably run Blaine on VS FLannery's team, while Flannery goes in VS Chili Team

[sullen pier]

Blaine is weak to Rock

[royal tiger]

hum

is that Fuecoco on SSMorty's team, Support? o.o?

[hardy fog]

To be honest not happy with that team with ss morty haha but those are pretty much all my units that I would use and maybe Bluecanine.

I totally forgot I need to take advantage of sun for flannery

Fluecoco I have all 3 but I guess the support one is most usable

[hardy fog]

So no one can provide ss red with attack buff except for Torchic

[shy flower]

Marley and Kiawe can

[hardy fog]

Marley looks like only give sp attack

[shy flower]

She has Flag Bearer 3 on her grid

[hardy fog]

If I lock fire. Can I still roll for triple theme?

[arctic quest]

You can, yes

[hardy fog]

OK let's do this!

[arctic quest]

I'd suggest rerolling until you get Fire on the 3rd or 2nd slot though, it increases the chance for 3 themes

[hardy fog]

Dam I've rolled like 30

[arctic quest]

Since ever pins are super rare, imo it's worth the effort

[hardy fog]

To get this

[arctic quest]

Up to you in that case

[hardy fog]

Wait why is it lower chance on 1st slot

What's the diff

[arctic quest]

Well you're always going to reroll something in the 1st slot, but the 2nd and 3rd aren't guaranteed

[hardy fog]

O OK I get it

[arctic quest]

So if you lock the 3rd, that's at least 2 you get each time and a solid chance for a 3rd

[hardy fog]

O well I cbb hahaha

Let's do this

Good enough lol

[hardy fog]

Did not know she had that tile. But now feels like I'm wasting her speed buffs for other units that might need it.

[hardy fog]

Why is Hilda a D for flannery

[hardy fog]

O I think it's to do with it having potions

[sullen pier]

Hilda relies on nuke to deal good dmg

[hardy fog]

Flare blitz won't do? Lol

[shy flower]

Having potions isn't a bad thing against Flannery... I think it's because the person who initially graded over judged how much Hilda relies on her nuke to do anything. Runner's evaluation of her being A is likely more accurate since you can use her potions effectively and still do damage with Flare Blitz

[sullen pier]

oh wait she has Ramming Speed now, but she still values sync a lot more

[hardy fog]

O I was thinking flint 😂

[shy flower]

She definitely does better with syncing, but with Standfast 9 and Ramming Speed, she's a lot better at doing DPS than she used to be

[hardy fog]

I guess for my roster. Silver just seem a massive waste going to Flannery. Since I don't really have other dps

[shy flower]

Silver is very good against Flannery because of his Solarize passive and his damage with Sacred Fire or Overheat being fairly respectable

[hardy fog]

What makes him impressive is his sync though

I guess double hooh with infinite suns does make it worth while..

[shy flower]

His sync isn't all that he has and it's not quite as good as some other pair's sync moves anyway

[royal tiger]

iirc, i'm running Silver (DPS Build), SS Morty and Hilda (DPS Build); so i can just heal Hilda back up with SS Morty's stuff. o-o
for VS Flannery

[shy flower]

My current plan vs Flannery is Torchic, Silver, and Football Gloria, but I might put SS Morty in instead of Torchic if I need more survivability

[sullen pier]

<- havent planned at all

[shy flower]

Not a surprise given that you need to plan for the next LG in two months

[sullen pier]

i will steal some teams here then

[royal tiger]

eh you've got time to craft when the HSE is up i guess.

[sullen pier]

damn you see through me

i only need 180k pts, so here is my plan for the core dmg dealer on each team:
Kiawe: rip lol, maybe Hilda and LIrida with Mind Games
Blaine: probably SS Red
Flint: SS May
Chili: NC Serena + LCalem (yes im serious)
Flannery: Silver + Event Blue duo

is this plan okay or do i need to change anything?

[royal tiger]

Hilda will die to Kiawe.

[shy flower]

I'd put SS Hilda vs Flint and SS May vs Chili

If you're super serious about NC Serena vs Chili, put May vs Kiawe

[sullen pier]

how about this? im not really sure if Serena is better than Hilda on Vs. Flint

[cunning shore]

I believe you can't use a striker vs kiwae

[sullen pier]

yeah i just realized

now i forget Flint has no heal rule

[cunning shore]

Oh lodge calem and event blue
Didn't think i would see em in planning sheets

[shy flower]

Serena would definitely be better than Hilda on vs Flint lol

[sullen pier]

my Fire roster doesnt have hot picks like Anni N, Leon or Glorialt

[sturdy glen]

Unless they’re terribly bad everywhere
All the on type options should be considered

[shy flower]

Lodge Calem is terribly bad

[sullen pier]

i only use Calem for burn and master passive with Serena

[sturdy glen]

tactic

[shy flower]

I'd rather use Flannery for burn and a Fire type for damage but fair

[sullen pier]

oh right Flannery

she would be a funny tank vs herself

[sturdy glen]

i realized only now that she has 630/300/270 bulk at 5*...
dammit she's not that bad...

[shy flower]

She's really not bad at all

[sullen pier]

Chez where would you use Flannery on?

[sturdy glen]

she has healing sun and good physical bulk
so against flannery herself

[sullen pier]

she would be nice on Kiawe too

tho most of sun setters dont have Sunny Day MPR

[sturdy glen]

yeah that's the main issue

[royal tiger]

Do we have Lucky Skills that drop enemy speed?

[sturdy glen]

no

[royal tiger]

or just Defense Crush 2 and Mind Games 2?

hmmm

hum. this should do it.

forgot V.Kiawe can +2 accuracy himself.

VS Chili will be interesting hehe.

[shy flower]

probably wherever you don't have a good chance at a burn and need either cheap gauge or a bit more tankiness. Using her on Blaine instead of Ethan or against herself instead of Blue is what I'd say on first glance

[sullen pier]

Good point

I would use her on Blaine then, i think Silver needs dps assist

[cunning shore]

Shes the reason i was looking at this

Because I am considering my last 2 5* 20/20

Marley and Evelyn being super bulky is such a blessing

I would have never guessed marowak is actually this bulky though

[sullen pier]

Non poma players will die of cringe when they see a Cyndaquil is bulkier than Entei

[haughty haven]

Well that is bc he buff 0 defense stats

[cunning shore]

I died myaelf

[haughty haven]

Other than +SpD from grid

[cunning shore]

I was like where the heck is that cynda

[cunning shore]

Yeah, figures. He has 0 defensive buffs base kit always died too quickly

[royal tiger]

wut. where do you even get Rosa & Cyndaquil... story mission? o_o

[sturdy glen]

she's a victory road pair

[hardy fog]

Ethan spamming eruption under sun with ss morty and silver against Flannery seems like a good plan lol. Hitting the themes as well.

That team just heals non stop

O lame rock weak

[sturdy glen]

the problem is that his dmg is still bad

356 spa at 6* and lvl 150
with a aoe 162 bp move

[hardy fog]

Well for people who don't have like cinderace or like blazekin to go that second slot I think it's not bad lol

[forest ferry]

You are talking abt accessibility rather than being actually good

Other than having MC theme skill, initial dmg guard and self heals for slightly more points he's not really a notable performance unit

[hardy fog]

Yea I mean for roster like mine I literally have support and 5 usable dps everything else is filler

Have anyone looked into dauntless overheat silver vs ww3 sacred fire silver? Looks like overheat still wins by about 8% on pomatools with similar conditions

[cyan tusk]

Sacred fire has also burn synergy 3 and ww3 goes to sync dmg too

[hardy fog]

Yea I added those in as well still lower than overheat

I'm looking at it for Flannery so the sync is not considered

[onyx crystal]

someone went and made a tiermaker image for each type: https://old.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/17oubho/viability_of_the_types_for_a_high_score_event/

[chilly flame]

and people were worried about ground hs

that type is literally in the ground with how bad it is

[untold rampart]

I disagree on their stance on Ground being the weakest type (in an overall context, not just HSE). Bug feels weaker to use and less have released as of late, with the newest two being a Lodge Support and Variety that 99% of players skipped.

[ornate turret]

both are bad lol but yeah ground got more recent units, bug has better free/gen pool pairs tho

[royal tiger]

Yeah Ground, Fighting, and Bug will suffer if we ever get High Score Event.

the next one will likely be Grass, since we've got a lot of those.

[austere ferry]

How good is 3/5 Evelyn over 1/5? Is it worth using 2 of my 3 golden tix for her (she’s not the best 3/5 five star BP pair, is she?)

[forest ferry]

If your target is just 180k, 1/5 Evelyn is more than enough

[mortal timber]

I just started preparing few grids for hs

The ones for flan’s stages look so weird hahaha

[untold rampart]

1/5 Evelyn is all you really need

[hardy fog]

If it's Ground type then I'll be lucky to get 180k 😂

[gleaming raven]

i doubt a pure ground type high score event is happening any time soon

[hardy fog]

I just wanted to show off my ground types thats all hahaha. Someone speculated it would be theme like a region. Which I think it's more probable

[cyan tusk]

We’ll be getting grass/psychic/dark after fire, there’s plenty of units for those too

[sturdy glen]

crying for dark because
i had to skip everything after c!marnie
and i still miss rachel

[shy flower]

Dark only has 5 supports, 4 of which are limited. Dark is not coming any time soon

Grass and Psychic are almost certainly the next two unless we get a large influx of another type like Ghost, Dark, or Ice

[cyan tusk]

Well, kinda fire too lmao

[shy flower]

True at least Fire has Evelyn, Torchic, Kiawe, and Marley

[sturdy glen]

and in fact everyone is going crazy

[shy flower]

I'm predicting it to be Grass next just because of the sheer number of Grass types unless they wanna pull some bullshit with the Eeveelutions

[mortal timber]

When fairy hs is gonna drop i will be giving free food to people, ain't gonna top 100 with granbull

💀

[forest ferry]

grass should have been before fire

But grass surprisingly doesn't have many PFs

So they are probs waiting to release a new grass unit

[mortal timber]

gonna be cooking and cheering for everyone woo

you got this

[forest ferry]

I unironically have better fairy roster than fire

[mortal timber]

also omg omg booster of the week chezei

[shy flower]

[mortal timber]

fuck i cannot find the 4th acerola

[shy flower]

[mortal timber]

anyways how are you

[shy flower]

I'm well! Excited to finally start the HS soon

[mortal timber]

glad to hear that!

i will have some official scores from the 11th, when nc leaf gets cake

but imma still start doing smth

[shy flower]

Ye, get at least a little grasp on who is the most difficult, who's the sleeper hit, etc

[mortal timber]

mhm

flint was the asshole before the release of the doc and i was right

no heals

but i got everything planned, i started only like this afternoon thinking about grids

i have only the flannery stage ones ready so far

[forest ferry]

Flint is still more lenient than Blaine and Flannery

[shy flower]

Oh yeah I haven't even started thinking about grids I've only put everyone where I think they'll do best

[forest ferry]

Blaine is poison chance hell and Flannery stage is just shit

[mortal timber]

i just did flan cuz at least i know i won't nuke there

so it's just straightforward dps stuff

and lemme tell you, never had so many funny grids lmfao

silver's one is the most hilarious

[hardy fog]

When I started everyone said ice was weak

I have more ice than ground dark and almost everything else 😂

[shy flower]

Ice was weak, then we got Irida and NC Red

[forest ferry]

Ice got stronger than ground the moment we got sssilver

[chilly flame]

Needs some more support tho

[rustic summit]

dana ex when

[shy flower]

At this point, what type doesn't need more support

[sturdy glen]

water

[shy flower]

Hopefully we get at least a few more good Ice types, ideally good supports that don't rely on Hail, and ideally in the general pool

[shy flower]

Dragon still only has 3 I forgor

[chilly flame]

Omg dragon

I thought there was more than that

[shy flower]

It basically only has 2 since Drake sucks so much

[sturdy glen]

me when drake is my only "tank"

[shy flower]

And they're both Special

Why do Bug and Ground have more accessible supports than Dark 😭

[untold rampart]

Volo & Giratina (Origin Forme) next month confirmed????

[shy flower]

Inb4 Ghost

[sullen kestrel]

I should pull more supports

But there’s only like 1 or 2 that I want rn, maybe 4 but the other 2 r seasonals

[cyan tusk]

Wow never realised ghost and fairy are so stacked with supports

[sullen kestrel]

Too bad I dont have any of the limited ones

I only have uh SS Blue 5/5, NC Calem, SS Kris, and SS Morty at 3/5, and NC Bede at 1/5

[sullen kestrel]

Unless u count kali

[ornate turret]

so far all HS were released when they had 3 MFs I don't think it's a coincident, they know people will pull for those and boost the overall performance of that type
out of the popular type Grass, Psychic or Ghost will be next, if they get their 3rd MF

[sullen pier]

inb4 Ice HS comes next

[shy flower]

no

[ornate turret]

not enough supports

[shy flower]

I mean it technically has five if you count Glacia lmao

And Pal Bea even needs 3/5

[shy flower]

Ice isn't coming for a while, though I expect we'll get at least one Ice Support in December

[sullen pier]

They better not wearing santa outfit!

[shy flower]

Inb4 Santa Nemona with Field Iron Bundle

[sullen pier]

[royal tiger]

ugh. Ice HSE would be a nightmare. need more sync pairs 😭

[mortal timber]

isn't anyone happy to deploy ICE TABLE

[junior flower]

Is this good teams for tomorrow’s extreme battle?

[maiden canopy]

It's not an extreme battle

[maiden canopy]

Remove SS Red from your Kiawe team

[junior flower]

What sounds I change it to?

*who should I

[maiden canopy]

A non-striker unit

[junior flower]

Thanks

[crude iron]

if i was to off-fire Chili dps, would yall recommend Kris or something else? (not NCerena cause her banner doesnt come in time for HSE, sadly) dunno if Kris will prob be good enough to push a high point clear or not.

[sullen pier]

Kris is a good option yes, especially with Kiawe

[crude iron]

for reference, my limiteds box, most likely going to be looking at atleast NC Blue slotted somewhere

[crude iron]

also is Kris nuke or GrimSSley nuke better for this content? dunno which is a bigger nuke tbh

i know kris has higher base bp, but grimss has double down 5

[sullen pier]

Kris has Inertia + Haymaker + Super Powered 5

[crude iron]

ah, forgot bout SP5

so yeah, guess kris better then

[sullen pier]

She totally outperformes SS Grimsley lol

[crude iron]

dunno whats gonna be a good third with her and kiawe, although i can prob figure that out after i figure the other teams out

i feel like NCBlue vs Flannery prob makes the most sense? since its prob gonna be the longest fight if i had to guess

since we cant nuke it anyway, might as well stun her to death i assume

Kiawe stage could be aNni but, i feel like he'd be better in the evasion stages since he can run Gaze

prob flint cause cant heal there and hes got rly good nuke + debuffs

is LIrida or Blaine the better nuke... or should i bring offtype tech for kiawe...

[forest ferry]

Imma be real
NCred probs outperforms ontype Kris

Same for 1/5 cerena

[crude iron]

Cerena banner wont be up by time the event comes

i dont have her yet

but 100% pulling her

so premarked

[forest ferry]

Oh your limited box img had her

[crude iron]

yeah its cause i premarked her cause fav that i can grab this month guaranteed

[forest ferry]

Well
I'd still say NC red over any water type

unless the water type is a very recent unit

[crude iron]

i feel like nc red would more likely go to flint or blaine cause of evasion?

or does it not matter much in blaines case

[forest ferry]

Blaine stage is probs worst reset hell this event

Has high damage and poison chance from one of the sides

[crude iron]

oh geez, i just assumed hed be easy cause no stage gimmick

[forest ferry]

No stage gimmick ones tend to be among the most punishing ones

Nessa from water HS and volkner from electric HS were notably aoe spamming

atleast Blaine is easier than both, but doesn't mean sludge wave and sludge bomb are easy to deal with

[crude iron]

him having high damage makes me think Evelyn would prob be a good choice for the support vs blaine

[forest ferry]

Are you rolling SSmorty?

[crude iron]

nah

[forest ferry]

OK then your main planning should be for Flannery first

[crude iron]

wanting to stay at high gem count for possible double fav next month

[forest ferry]

You need to deal with her sand

And Blaine being rock weak means you can't use him coz Flannery sync is rock

Do you have support fuecoco?

[crude iron]

yup im using supp fue there probs

nc blue + supp fue + dps

is my rough plan

[forest ferry]

That sounds good then

[crude iron]

if i dont use Silver elsewhere i could use him there, but i think im more likely gonna attempt like Ethan or something first with a synchro healing grid

cause if i can get decent score there without Silver then i can cleave one of the other three with Silver

[forest ferry]

OK then you can use Evelyn vs flint or Blaine depending on your comps you planned for em

[crude iron]

im most likely gonna put Anni N on flint cause he should cleave that stage before no healing fucks me over

plus can use a noble roar nuke grid to debuff it

[forest ferry]

Kiawe stage condition is no striker

Means you need tech unit for it

And the stage also wants you to drop spl def

So anni N should be vs kiawe unless you plan on running smth like serena+Flannery to dps

[crude iron]

i was thinking trying blaine nuke vs kiawe tbh with some dps to help him

is his nuke not good enough?

[sullen pier]

Not enough

[crude iron]

dang

[sullen pier]

Better using N there

[crude iron]

so N's better there even tho the other two have Eva. huh.

alright ig

ig that means Silver's going to flint prob

to try to brute force him down fast

[forest ferry]

N hardcounters stage gimmick just like NC leaf

If you don't have either of those, kiawe is really hard to deal with

[hardy fog]

Sigh sooooo long before tomorrow

Just want to get started

😂

[forest ferry]

I can't wait to mald over lowrolls and highrolls

[hardy fog]

I have succumbed to using silver for Flannery but I don't know if my Flannery is going to do enough dmg lol

My other choice are: Blucanine, LodgeCalem. I'll prob try both and see what's up

[royal tiger]

This is my current teams

[hardy fog]

Also feel like Torchic works better with ss red but will just try and see

[royal tiger]

Variety Kiawe can debuff 5 stats.

[forest ferry]

I already threw the towel coz my roster is shit
Only gonna try 300k

[hardy fog]

That's so sick

[royal tiger]

Chili team can debuff atk, def, spd and sp.def

[hardy fog]

I really wanted a copy when it came out

[forest ferry]

Didn't get 3/5 vilda from unova banner else I'd try out smth

[royal tiger]

I relaly wanted to use Victini but

I cant put her on any team sadlife

[forest ferry]

What

[hardy fog]

Lol surely she fits any team

[forest ferry]

She can still dps

[royal tiger]

Well maybe on like vs blaine or flannery

Base hilda i think hits harder though.

[forest ferry]

You can run vilda in Flannery stage and move Hilda vs Blaine

Base Hilda is 160 BP or smth

[royal tiger]

Hum that could work

[forest ferry]

Vilda is 200 BP

[royal tiger]

3/5 Vilda?

[forest ferry]

So she has higher dps even at 1/5

3/5 is 220 BP and rising tide nuke

Emboar is not even close

[royal tiger]

Rising tide on flannery kinda is meh though.

Sync damage js -80%

[forest ferry]

I was talking abt 1/5 vilda

If you have 3/5 vilda

[royal tiger]

Dos mode?

[forest ferry]

That gioking can be ditched for her

[royal tiger]

Hmm i see.

[hardy fog]

😂😂

[forest ferry]

Smh

[cunning shore]

I think Vilda can be used in all stages but the one where strikers get 80% lower stats

[forest ferry]

I got useless SS N instead of vilda dupe

I am madge

[cunning shore]

I got useless Vilda dupe instead of SS N/Hilbert

[royal tiger]

Btw my gear for this event is

[hardy fog]

Dang those pin conditions are good

O wait the bracelet even better!

[royal tiger]

Id love to get more stats but

Yeah xd

[hardy fog]

Let me grab mine

[crude iron]

Still wip

[forest ferry]

only 1 fire gear and even that is cope

[hardy fog]

It's a bit weird haha but a couple of cool ones in there

That pin is nice haha

[crude iron]

General thoughts on the wip rough draft? Teams are left to right on the info sheet thing

[hardy fog]

Come on Blaze where is the effort. I rolled at least 50 feathers haha

[royal tiger]

Whoa that bandana. Noice.... The other ones ooof

[forest ferry]

I got better pieces for other types that I don't want to reset

Like my dragon ones are so good

[cunning shore]

I rolled 200 feathers, all no luck
I ain't gon trade PU for Everpins

[hardy fog]

Don't be cheap and get a couple of extra piece of gear 😂

Only 3 cards

[royal tiger]

Id need 5star power ups to ise those everpins rofl

[hardy fog]

Serious 200... that's frustrating. I'm sure you got some good gear out of it though

[forest ferry]

I don't want to reset these for fire gears

[crude iron]

Are any of the rainbow feathers so far for fire btw I assume not?

[cunning shore]

For different types/themes, yes

[forest ferry]

No

[hardy fog]

That's some op dragon gear though

[crude iron]

Which color should I roll then for attempting at fire gear

I’m out of yellows

[forest ferry]

only akari, rei, fphoebe, froxanne, SSpiers and SSroxie gears

[cunning shore]

Don't we have like lots of skill gear from events and what not?
You don't have to replace those

[hardy fog]

Just roll any color tbh haha

You kinda gotta get lucky

[forest ferry]

I have good pieces for some other types as well

[hardy fog]

I think I only kept one purple feather gear all got rerolled

[forest ferry]

I don't think we got 18 gears for each type

[hardy fog]

I feel like this game is basically about rolling for LG and HS otherwise I don't see too much purpose to it

[forest ferry]

Only one I can reset is this but I don't have feathers

[crude iron]

How does this look

[hardy fog]

Keep for now

[forest ferry]

Once I open all boxes from prizebox event I can hunt for stronger bracelet and cope for fire type if possible

[hardy fog]

And just roll when you have more resource

[forest ferry]

only 55 atk, ez reset

[hardy fog]

Haha well it's a start

[forest ferry]

Actually only reason I don't have good fire gears is the fire gears I did get are like 45 atk and spl atk ones

So I just reset em

[hardy fog]

That dark is op

[crude iron]

The only lv15 type gears i have I think are ice and ghost cause been lazy on gear events lol

[hardy fog]

Personally I'd pin the fire haha

[forest ferry]

the 3% more fire dmg mod doesn't seem worth over losing 15 atk

[hardy fog]

Because it's in 3rd slot you are guaranteed to roll 2 themes everytime

I pinned mine even though it's first slot 🥹🥹

[forest ferry]

dark has busted gears for me but my dark roster is so awful

I still haven't touched ever pin

[crude iron]

Sadly even if you pin bottom slot it might not roll all three. So I’d have to have a lot of feathers when rerolling it

[cyan tusk]

me ready to knock everything out with gear boosted flying moves

[crude iron]

Else game might move its slot

[forest ferry]

If dark HS happens I am ready day 1

It's the only type I have all 3 gears
Even dragon is relying on my stuff being MC

[hardy fog]

Akari and TMR would be mint

13%!

O 11% and 2% sync.

[cunning shore]

Goddamn

[hybrid nova]

Reminder of the past two High Score Events
Master Rank 10,000 Cutoff
Water: 232,131
Electric: N/A (but 285,717 for top 500)

[forest ferry]

Electric was less score cut off than water
Psure abt that

But it was still higher than 223k

[hybrid nova]

@forest ferry
What do you mean by that?
Was Electric Master Rank Cutoff higher or lower than Water Master Rank Cutoff of 232,131?

[chilly flame]

Lower

[hybrid nova]

Good to hear
That is what you would expect, more people who get the master rank medal, the lower the bar for cutoff should be

[forest ferry]

It's more like electric is shit typing compared to water

Getting 250k+ isn't rly hard for someone that played a while

Most people that already had medal still did decent scores if anything

tho fire will have lower score req than electric for medal solely coz Flannery having shittiest condition possible and the HP scaling pts

[hybrid nova]

Well I do aim to get Master Rank this High Score event

[forest ferry]

I'd expect 220k to be safe zone

If Flannery didn't have shit condition, I'd say 250k tho

[cunning shore]

I expect both the cut off to be lower and gap between the top ranks to be much bigger

[glossy ravine]

this is easily the most top heavy HS, I think

sure you could argue rats/electric was heavier but there's way too much limited/important fires that are needed

Leon/May/Morty/Hilda/N

Leaf and Gloria

[half orchid]

yeah i think that's fair although one difference is that hilda/morty/may will be on rerun during the event so people can at least pick them up

electric only had c. elesa

[chilly flame]

I don’t think this one will be as low as electric

I expect it to be in between the previous two

[sullen kestrel]

Electric is kind of similar to fire I think tho it may have more non limited options

SS Morty may be the difference tho cuz supports kind of suck for tanking outside of him and evelyn iirc

[atomic rain]

fire barely has supports at all

[chilly flame]

trust in torchic

[atomic rain]

torchic when it dies from being breathed on too hard

[sturdy glen]

me that im ready to put nc blue

[sullen kestrel]

Marley mchic kiawe and tina r all quite squishy

Idk abt tina actually I dont have her

[atomic rain]

tina is ok but needs p ups

[sturdy glen]

tina can at least max crit and put aoe regen
same for marley with aoe regen

[sullen kestrel]

Im only using 1 full fire team personally

[atomic rain]

and only on the physical side since she has charm

[chilly flame]

Tina will be fine

[sullen kestrel]

I need 190k for rewards and to fix my ticket count

I have… 3 rn

I wish I could add ss may to my teams but I need ss piers before I pull for her

[stray dust]

I totally ditch HS as a whole other than going for 180k after my first HS, don't want to mess around with lucky skill, skill gear and rng anymore it's tiring and no real reward

[forest ferry]

I am running only 3 full fire teams and almost considering 2

Coz adaman

[sturdy glen]

adaman?

[chilly flame]

Why Adaman

[hardy fog]

Infinite sun and debuff maybe? Lol

[forest ferry]

Also has one of the best nukes in the game

Mostly for kiawe stage tho

[crude iron]

do you guys think Torchic would even survive Kiawe stage with aNni + Blaine? dunno if its a realistic team for torchic to tank on or not

kinda out of fire supports

[sturdy glen]

it depends on the strength

[crude iron]

Rough draft atm, main slot I am clueless about is where I have magby as filler slot

Most likely will just slot flannery there or something

[sturdy glen]

remove c!red
remove kris
move silver on first or last stage
remove egg ninetales

[crude iron]

why would i remove cred bro my fire box sucks ass

aNni is basically my only limited for the type

[sturdy glen]

because he's not even supereffective
so you'll not push that far

[forest ferry]

Even if you aren't removing cred

Kris isn't worth the slot at all

Cred is okay to use due to rebuff and high st dmg

Can totally run Hilda once you ex her instead of Kris

[crude iron]

i dont think i wanna exx any more fire types for this.

[sturdy glen]

idk... going offtype already cuts a lot the score
idk if double rebuffs will compensate not being SE

[forest ferry]

Fire is limited heavy

[crude iron]

fire too limited heavy for me to full ontype

[forest ferry]

I'd rather run NCred than Flannery nuke or smth

[sturdy glen]

what about a ground type?
that's the weakness of the second stage

[forest ferry]

I'd still recommend raising Hilda to ex

[crude iron]

i only exd the arcanine girl cause ik ill get use of her for being a +6 speed supp ex

i wouldnt get use of hilda outside of this

[forest ferry]

Well if you are only going for 180k, just try out current comps

They should be decent enuff

[crude iron]

yea i just want the rewards. im waiting for a type that i have more limiteds in to bother with going beyond

[forest ferry]

I'd personally run silver vs Flannery, ethan vs Blaine and NCred vs flint if anything

[crude iron]

prob dark or ice or ghost HS

would have better odds at medal in one of those i feel like

[forest ferry]

kek

If you didnt get medals in prev ones

The future ones are just gonna be hellish

[crude iron]

i didnt have the limiteds to go for medal on either of the others, lmao. and its similar case with fire

i dont pull non favs

[forest ferry]

well id say it's better to get medal sooner

Only good typing left is grass imo

Every other typing is whel territory

fire is still workable considering you have anni N

[crude iron]

i dont have much limited in grass but i might still try for grass when it comes bc i have a lot of grass ex

[forest ferry]

grass' adv over other types is that there's 5 tanks that's accessible
Other typings don't have that benefit unless you rolled limited supports

Also we don't know what condition they'll force on grass HS either

[zealous elm]

Thoughts? I have no more limited fire pairs that aren't already on those teams

I don't mind reseting for burn procs if that's the case

[forest ferry]

Kiawe for fire hs already ensures you either own limited unit or give up basically

[crude iron]

its a shame that the fire banner doesnt have gloralt else i could use her as a reason to grab the banner

[forest ferry]

Coz no sane person is gonna sit with Flannery+serena comp

[crude iron]

[forest ferry]

So grass HS might also have unfavorable conditions

[chilly flame]

Resetting for burn is gonna be such a pain

[forest ferry]

Burn chances don't seem bad for those comps
Assuming ssmay is 5/5 tho

[chilly flame]

Watch grass HS have a parameter where it’s like “inflict the opponent with a status condition” so it forces us to use Erika on almost every team

[zealous elm]

Flare Blitz/Blaze Kick gaming

[zealous elm]

1/5

[crude iron]

i really dont think they can have a condition thatd be able to fullstop me on grass. closest that might do it is something like status, and even then bp erika and bp barry exist

[forest ferry]

Yes ssmay team gonna suffer with burn chances

[chilly flame]

Yea just that’s a spot that could be for a more optimal team

[forest ferry]

Other teams are okay as far as burn goes

[chilly flame]

It’s not a full stop since they have plenty of options, but it’d be very tedious

[crude iron]

i have special dmg, i have phys dmg, i have tech and strike dmg, f2p is eating pretty good for grass

[zealous elm]

I mean I can prematurely reset if it doesnt burn, but I dunno what else could I swap

[chilly flame]

My confidence in these teams? Non existent

Who the hell put the whale reaction

[zealous elm]

Only units left are LodgeCalem, Ethan and Flint

[chilly flame]

@forest ferry

[forest ferry]

swap Flannery and Hilda

[chilly flame]

If I see you even 1 rank ahead of me, ur getting a return whale emote

[forest ferry]

I am running 2 offtype

[zealous elm]

Wouldn't Hilda benefit a lot more from Def drops from Kiawe and SSMay?

[forest ferry]

My fire roster is garbage coz I never rolled for fire units when SSred was king

[chilly flame]

Which off type units

[forest ferry]

cerena, ssmina

Also considering adaman

[cunning shore]

I would like a whale status, not emoji ty

[forest ferry]

Well yea but......burn chance also Hilda can speeden up the dpsing for that stage

[crude iron]

if cerena banner came before end of event id use her on the event myself, but hse doesnt last till pomaday

[chilly flame]

Do you have Roxigus?

[forest ferry]

No

[chilly flame]

Sadge

[forest ferry]

If my NCred was 3/5, I'd have absolutely shoved him

[cunning shore]

Roxigus useful in this hs? 🤔

[chilly flame]

Very

Vs Blaine

[zealous elm]

Hmm, wouldn't leave that with chili team with too little DPS?

Considering 1/5 SSMay

[forest ferry]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1128052735967764621/1171348073176375336/Screenshot_20231107-124757.png?ex=655c59e7&is=6549e4e7&hm=1b13847a8d0f121e07f982ae98d4d822f17c6fef7ec87876bcdf513ed33c238a&

My initial plans

Sync and tank with Flannery

Well you can also run Flannery+Hilda and ssmay+silver instead

but I can't gauge if Flannery sync with ssmay is better or Hilda sync better for chili stage

[zealous elm]

Would flannery sync even be worth it in Chili?

Considering I have to first sync with Kiawe, then with SSMay for mega

And even then I dunno if Flannery sync is better than SSMay without sun at that point with -6 Def

[blazing birch]

Where tf is the glorialt in all those teams

[chilly flame]

Don’t have her

[sturdy glen]

fixed

i still have to give the candies and ex all the stuff
im just lazy i promise 🥲

[sullen kestrel]

I wish gloralt reran w ss may instead of morty bcz I alr have him 3/5 but want those 2

[mortal timber]

Ayo friends of Fire HS, i'll see you at reset or later

[sullen pier]

Fire HS this reset?

Im not ready

[gleaming raven]

you've got 6 whole hours to prepare

you'll be fine

[mortal timber]

it's time

rawrrr

[sullen pier]

[mortal timber]

ok after this one i can officially hide, gn bye

[slate flame]

any suggestions for the fire event?

[shell oak]

level up flint and torchic lol

[desert elm]

Just gonna phone it in and take my 180k.

[chilly flame]

Why’d you censor team 11 lmfao

[shy flower]

Team 11 is wanted for crimes against the monarchy. This picture has their identities concealed for their protection.

[desert elm]

Because it’s not relevant to the event

[red solstice]

I’m doomed.

[chilly flame]

Yea

[red solstice]

How hard is it to get 180k?

[chilly flame]

Well for this one we can’t really say yet since it isn’t out

But usually it’s not too bad but the difficulty obviously reflects what kind of roster you have

[red solstice]

Guess I’ll have to see for myself then.

[shy flower]

With 3/5 SS Hilda and 2/5 EX SS Red, you should be at least able to stack one or two clears to make up for having fewer points on the others

[chilly flame]

You can definitely make at least 2 teams

[desert elm]

36k per team minimum if evenly divided. VHilda can certainly take some of the load off.

[stray dust]

U should be fine for 200k imo

[crude iron]

Anyone have a recommendation for magby slot if I were to stick with the rest of these teams? Is there a defense/spdef buffer fire eggmon I might want to know about?

Gonna be figuring out clear starting from anti nuke stage first when it drops

[sullen pier]

Aside from sup Fuecoco or even tech Ninetales, i dont think any eggmon is useful

Sup Magby just maxes speed then becomes useless

[crude iron]

The magby slot was just a filler mon when I was drafting the teams idk which magby I have partnered atm lol

Just was trying to see if there was way I could fit more bulk on my kiawes team

Btw which kiawe grid should I use for the event

Think everyone else’s grids are pretty easy to figure out but he has so many options

[lone bronze]

Interesting to see how many people are planning to use non-fire pairs. Big change from previous HS events.

[crude iron]

I have only one fire gacha unit so it’s mostly me being like I don’t wanna ex hilda and such for just literally one use before benching her forever

also how important is vigilance for HSE's anyway, curious if i can get away with replacing vigilance on any of the supports for this or not

cause if i can i might replace it with something for def buffs since def buffers are almost nonexistant for the type, or something along those lines.

[arctic quest]

What are people pairing with NC Serena on Chili?

[crude iron]

~~nothing cause NC serena doesnt come before hse ends ~~

[sullen pier]

SS Morty-less is cursed

[hollow aurora]

Oh wait the event starting this reset.

Haven’t gotten a team ready for the aim for master medal, perhaps I should just wait for clears.

I can do grass HS which is most likely next, can’t do poison, ghost, fairy, dark,dragon,steel, fighting,ice,rock,ground maybe bug.

[sullen kestrel]

Combined types plz

[lone bronze]

This is my plan

[hollow aurora]

Same.

[crude iron]

ended up with sshilbert tonight, now i kinda wish it was bug hs and not fire hs coming

[hollow aurora]

I mean, grass most likely next so…. ya.

[sullen kestrel]

I got him on the 2nd and yeah, no cuz him and alder r like my only good bug types

And aaron too

I just used him for lorelei this week in CS

[crude iron]

atleast now i know that unless december has something tech related for me i can get SSN and NCerena built without delays. thats pog.

[austere ferry]

If you’d rank the following based on fire dps, how it’d go?
SS Hilda
Hilda (Emboar)
Leon
Red
Anni-N
SS May
SS Gloria
Assuming all are 3/5, optimized grids, sun is up, their multiplier conditions are met.

[lone bronze]

[crude iron]

Should I settle for 250 strength

[hardy fog]

@forest ferry @cunning shore I've made it to top 15 got my rewards..I'm outies.😂😂

[crude iron]

Ethan died to second sync Fuecoco died to first sync. Would prob need to 5star Fuecoco to go higher I imagine

[hardy fog]

Hard and fast 🥹

[worn oriole]

Who should I use on each person?

[crude iron]

Man I wish I had ssred for this lol

[hardy fog]

Whaaat you don't got ss red

[crude iron]

I missed last years new year thing

And used victory road to get my ssblue

This year I’ll prob grab red tho if they do the new year thing again

[hardy fog]

Use the pinned sheet

[digital jungle]

What new years thing

[crude iron]

they gave us a free select of the sskantrio last year apparently

much like the victory road gives

[hardy fog]

Hmm besides Blaine actually all of them were easy at 180/200

Blaine hits really hard so I might reshuffle the teams

[maiden canopy]

I'm still in dumb and lazy mode and haven't made my teams yet

[rugged fjord]

it wasn't a select, you got a total of 23 tickets to use on the ticket scout which included the ss kantrio at unfeatured rates

[hardy fog]

Tryharding or 180k

[arctic quest]

man Kiawe is way too squishy

[maiden canopy]

Former

I have 2 tech candies saved up for C. leaf for this moment

[hardy fog]

O just wait for bicio and Wenwen to hit 400k first then make your real teams 😂😂

[maiden canopy]

Oh please, I don't have Glorialt, Anni N, Tina, etc.

[crude iron]

kiawe too squishy? Torchic is too squish

[hardy fog]

O yo then maybe we have similar lolol

[red solstice]

Since my roster is extremely limited, should I focus SS Hilda and SS Red on the easier bosses and rack points there?

[crude iron]

torchic doesnt even live to aNNi sync on 250str kiawe

torchics like 3 tms and then "aight time to get the milk-" dies

[maiden canopy]

Just use Torchic for Flannery

[crude iron]

my flannery teams already solved

[maiden canopy]

Now, where to use SS Morty?

[crude iron]

literally got use out of fucking Ethan of all things

ssmortys intended for flannery i think

[arctic quest]

I tried 500 STR with Kiawe and he just gets one shot by Chili's flare blitz

[gleaming raven]

i used him for Flannery bc Tina was not working there

[maiden canopy]

Synchro Healing using are more recommended for Flannery TBH

[crude iron]

hes got sunbathe its close enough

[maiden canopy]

He can't infinitely reapply sun

[sullen pier]

Good idea. And for the rest you should use 2 Fire type + an ontype dmg dealer/a solid support to carry and still get rewards

[crude iron]

• flannery needs sand replaced

you dont need infinity sun, just replace sand at start from my experience

[maiden canopy]

Vucas is a gem for Flannery

[blissful pivot]

Didn't clear, only 7k strength

[cyan tusk]

This channel is on fire 💥🔥

[crude iron]

7k is more than max

dont we cap at 1k

[blissful pivot]

As in 150 i think

7k score

[maiden canopy]

[gleaming raven]

i think they mean 7k points worth

[blissful pivot]

Thats why HSE is shit

Why would the already tough opponents need tough sync

[maiden canopy]

Would making C. Leaf as the main tank with support EX role a good idea?

[graceful pike]

The final piece of the puzzle

[sullen pier]

Look like you didnt debuff Chili's defense

[blissful pivot]

I know

But why does he need that passive

[maiden canopy]

I have 64 PU tickets and 796 PU exchange tickets, how many EX is that at best?

[blissful pivot]

Isn't the nonsense hard enough

[arctic quest]

[crude iron]

unsure on exact but i think thatd be somewhere around the 4-5 range? not sure what ratios "optimal" with these numbers

i assume with such numbers itd be hard to squeeze 6

[crimson python]

whats the minimum points yalll reach for 180k

this seems too impossible to tackle

[crude iron]

I’m doing 250 strength atm although might bump it up to 300ish for a couple stages since I’m using some offtype units

Those are the two I did so far

[gleaming raven]

for 180k ~200 should be alright

if you're using entirely on type characters

[glossy ravine]

Welp

I don't have the good shit to do this

I'll just stop here lel

[crude iron]

I’ll prob look at the scores of top whatever and see if I can gauge out more score off my clears later into the event but for the first few days I’m just pushing for the 250str average clears and seeing where that’ll put me. If I end up finding it in more reach than expected I might ex hilda and try for medal but else not gonna stress bout it

Especially since didn’t get vilda off the last pull for unova banner. Not going out of way for her when I have both favs off the banner

[thorny grove]

I’m gonna wait for a day or two for us to understand meta and then I’ll come back. The first HSB was easy to tell what units go where, now it’s just a mess of guessing. Liked the first one better than these past two.

[sullen pier]

We have a grading sheet which ranks every Fire type on each stage

Its pinned here

[brisk token]

191k and done, see you all in next HS

[main pulsar]

plez

show team

i tired

need inspiration

🫠

[hybrid nova]

Living in the U.K. has benefits and drawbacks
Benefits: waking up to each reset, waking up to Datamine
Drawbacks: being too tired in the morning to do certain events asap like High Score battles, not waking up soon enough to pull certain units the moment reset hits

[main pulsar]

Me is fire

[cyan tusk]

One shot so far

[slow obsidian]

Glora-less 180K run Part 1: Flannery Strength 300 (pardon the terrible screenshot )

[main pulsar]

Save me

[main pulsar]

[grand perch]

Phew that was fun. Happy that I managed to stop at exactly 180k rewards haha

200 strength everyone except 150 Flint and 100 Chili

Blaine and Flint were jerks btw

[main pulsar]

This feels mildly lopsided yeah?

ah but i really am tired

will sleep

[grand perch]

Yeah it’s not going anywhere anytime soon

[tardy quartz]

Fuck blaine I hate that stage

[sharp flicker]

Blaine spams Fire Blast while Chili spams Flare Blitz.

What a nightmare of a HSE.

And Fire type is not a defensive type at all. This sucks.

[hardy fog]

But what this type has is big syncs

So can't really complain

[grand perch]

I kind of regret my Evelyn’s and SS Morty placements lol

[hardy fog]

I'm using fire guard vs blaine lol

[outer latch]

Any team comp

[grand perch]

Exactly 15 dang

[outer latch]

😅

[crimson python]

bro i need your parameters

[slow obsidian]

Glora-less 180K run Part 2: Chili & Flint Strength 200

[hybrid nova]

Feeling stressed a little ^^;
At 228k, only Great 3
Master Rank 40 is 246k
18k point difference

[arctic quest]

It's day 1 the rankings are going to fluctuate heavily up until it ends

I wouldn't make any assumptions just now

[hybrid nova]

Ok
Just annoys me slightly that my current score would have been in Master Rank 3 hours ago
And I want to get Master Rank medal this High Score event

[mortal timber]

Morning

[sullen pier]

Afternoon

[sturdy glen]

https://tenor.com/view/gandalf-lotr-fly-fools-gif-5144058

[mortal timber]

Done two stages so far

The other three are gonna take a bit more

Blaine needs to take a chill pill my friend

What is that dmg

[slow obsidian]

Only done Flint, Chili and Flannery so far and

[hardy fog]

Man why does serena just die to first sync lol

What am I supposed to do with her

[slow obsidian]

I already started to fear Blaine

[hardy fog]

So 380 str serena dies to first sync lol

[sullen pier]

does she have Shielded 1 gridded?

also which stage are you using her on?

[hardy fog]

Flint

Might just chill for couple of days lol. Wait for some more comps to come out. This is only great class it think masters was close to this for water. Fire event is definitely on fire!

[forest ferry]

did casual run
Might push sometime later

Looks like masters rank is already 200k+

Iirc electric and water both were below 180k for masters day 1

[arctic quest]

Dang that's high for day 1

[icy burrow]

@cunning shore what clears you got?

[slow obsidian]

Glora-less 180K run Part 3: Blaine Strength 150 (only needed a little push to 180K )

[cunning shore]

I got work clears rn 😂😂😂
Maybe in a few hours I will have a chancr

[icy burrow]

Send the casual runs after so I can copy paste 😂

[haughty haven]

I want SS May and i have this

[sullen pier]

[arctic quest]

The dual/triple feature banner curse

[mortal timber]

The fact these fire supports are so frail is not even funny lmfao

Wtf is Blaine eating for breakfast my dude

[grand perch]

Brains

[hardy fog]

Dabbo what are your teams rn

[soft sedge]

Ranking is bugged, Master Rank is only Top 40 instead of the usual Top 10k

[sullen pier]

thats why im only Great 3 lol

[fair drift]

quick, reach top 40 for the flex

[cyan tusk]

I’ve already started off typing actually

Say hi to mr blue which has to carry a clown Mf

[arctic quest]

LMAO that's hilarious

[cunning shore]

Does Mo-oh have a 5/5 expansion?

[hardy fog]

Where are you guys putting serena I don't think she is good on flint with Evasion up

[sturdy glen]

same
i'm thinking most of the stages
will require to do that

[cunning shore]

What str is this?

[pine badge]

Could I have help with teams for this please. I can invest in all pairs if I need too

[sturdy glen]

850

[cyan tusk]

850

[hardy fog]

Start with the pinned sheet

[cyan tusk]

I’m trying 5/5 ex Tina 3/5 ex SSMay and 3/5 lodge irida on flint and I have issue in clearing 450

I was gonna candy Vkiawe to 3/5 but I’m not enjoying the event so not gonna commit to it

[sturdy glen]

embarassing...

[cyan tusk]

And it’s not skill issue
I mean, not entirely skill issue

[sturdy glen]

it is... from dena side

[cyan tusk]

It’s a personal game over when I have to go under 500 strenght

There’s a high chance I’ll be round up my power ups to end in 0 or 5 and stop

[hybrid nova]

Hearing that the rankings are bugged has made me feel better about my 228k points (well 227.9k to be exact)

[forest ferry]

ok seems like leaderboard is bugged

[haughty haven]

Yes he has, but it doesn’t help much
