High Score

[hybrid nova]

So, I assume, with the bugged leader board it’s
Master: 1-40
Ultra 1: 41-80
Ultra 2: 81-120
Ultra 3: 121-160
Great 1: 161-200
Great 2: 201-240
Great 3: 241+

[rocky harbor]

I just tried to do kiawe with serena anni leaf amd kiawe at 300 points but it was hard

[slate flame]

eggmons are the way lol

[rocky harbor]

btw how much do they reduce strike pair damage by in that fight?

[forest ferry]

It's stat red

80%

[rocky harbor]

Oh thats a lot

[forest ferry]

If you don't have limited tech dps, run serena+Flannery for that stage

[rocky harbor]

Lemme show my fire type pairs

I mean 16 is already more than what i had for the electric type one lmao

And i can ex someone if i need to

[digital jungle]

Oh god

[rocky harbor]

I wanna know how to not trigger kiawes status condition nullification shield

cause he blocked most of serenas hypnosis with that thing

[sullen pier]

just dont use sleep with Serena

[rocky harbor]

shes a horrible dmg dealer

[sullen pier]

it triggers after the user recovers from status condition or status change, and lasts for around a sync cycle

[rocky harbor]

Oh i see

[sullen pier]

so ~45 seconds

[rocky harbor]

I thought it was cause i used too many moves while he was asleep

Leaf is basically my best nuke

Cause i always ko center and then the sides just start doing hyper beam and snarl

and then i die

or

lose

idk

[stray dust]

Nobody got 300k yet?

[rocky harbor]

I need a fire type flincher

You know what i got an idea

But i have to sacrifice serena

[soft sedge]

It's 40 for Masters, 3 each for Ultra 1 to Great 2 and everyone else below that (40+3x5= Top 55) is Great 3. Very very bugged

[severe basin]

man this one is actually kinda hard I didn't really pull many fire units

[forest ferry]

time to slack

[arctic quest]

Any tips for that Kiawe team?

[forest ferry]

it's sleep hax

[rocky harbor]

Maybe i should ex ss may

[forest ferry]

Just pray burn doesn't proc till last minute

Coz burn ruins sleep

That team can go higher, I am just lazy to push

[rocky harbor]

What if you dont have morty

[forest ferry]

cry

Evelyn or Tina maybe

But score will be much lower

tho 70k should still be doable

SSmorty means the comp should hit 90k easily with proper sleep timings

[rocky harbor]

does tina need to be 5 star

[forest ferry]

Ex

Why would you run non ex

When ex is available

[rocky harbor]

Is kiawe an option

Ex

[forest ferry]

Kiawe's best stage is chili for def drops

Ideally if you have multiple limited tech units

You would run ssmay vs chili

Ssmay is not optimal to fight kiawe
Anni N or NC leaf hardcounter the stage and doesn't require serena

[rocky harbor]

My nc leaf is ex and 2/5

[red solstice]

Oof 106k, not even close

[forest ferry]

What's your roster?

Oh wait

[forest ferry]

okay 1/5 ssmay isn't nuking

[rocky harbor]

Tina would need a lot of investment

[forest ferry]

1/5 ssmay is a sub dps

[arctic quest]

Thanku

[slow obsidian]

Glora-less 180K Part 4: Kiawe Strength 50 (finally done)

[rocky harbor]

I guess i can candy may

[forest ferry]

you can try NCleaf, Flannery, kiawe for kiawe fight

How many candies do you have?

[rocky harbor]

I have 4 strike candies, 1 tech candy, and maybe 2 support candies

[forest ferry]

2/5 ssmay isn't going to do much

She wants 3/5 or 5/5

[rocky harbor]

What about 3/5 leaf

[forest ferry]

If you can't do that investment, just leave her at 1/5

Oh
That should really help

If you can 3/5

Coz powerplay nuke

But if you are saving it,you can just sync with Flannery instead

[rocky harbor]

Sounds powerful

really

i didnt know flannery was that good

[forest ferry]

She is not

She's just there coz there's not much choice

[rocky harbor]

i dont mind using the candy i would have used it by now if i needed it

[forest ferry]

if you aren't saving candies 3/5 NCleaf is pretty solid

[rocky harbor]

Shes not coming back for a long time

[forest ferry]

Tho the comp doesn't rly change
Flannery just there to be a tank

[rocky harbor]

I can probably safely assume that

[hybrid nova]

Ah, so it’s
Master: 1-40
Ultra 1: 41-43
Ultra 2: 44-46
Ultra 3: 47-49
Great 1: 50-52
Great 2: 53-55

[forest ferry]

wtf

[mortal timber]

If y'all see my flint score, an absolute abomination of a clear

In the most negative way

That was rough

[rocky harbor]

so flannery kiawe and nc leaf

In that order

[cyan tusk]

Im trying to offtype with anni skyla lol

[forest ferry]

yep, Flannery as main tank
NCleaf for nuke and dps , kiawe to spam potions

[rocky harbor]

Kiawe is a good healer

[mortal timber]

With three fire types, aka Torchic And Glora

50k

[cyan tusk]

Im not even able to clear it yet but I guess I have to redo the flannery team and put alt Gloria there

[rocky harbor]

Whats the most i can probably safely but do then trying?

[mortal timber]

I only miss chili and I have done my first clears

[hybrid nova]

Hope when the score board is fixed, that my 227976 is enough to be in Master Rank

[mortal timber]

Prevision is to end today at 340k

Possibly

Then I gotta wait cake for NC Leaf the 11th and I will start improving everywhere

[rocky harbor]

Speaking about cakes

I can get a strike roll cale

[mortal timber]

I need irida to coplab and flinch

Collab

[rocky harbor]

they should have made nc leafs ex role strike

[mortal timber]

Nono

I am glad she is supp

If our supp faint like that

She does way way better

[rocky harbor]

I mean zerena definitely benefitted from it the most

[crude iron]

Had to bump down to 230. 250 was too bulky

[rocky harbor]

Thats close

[crude iron]

Yeah very rng heavy too

[forest ferry]

Kiawe: NC leaf, serena , Flannery
Blaine : ethan, arca blue , marley
Flint : MCchic , SSred, tina
Chili : ssmay, Hilda ,kiawe
Flannery : silver, blaine, Evelyn

@rocky harbor

[crude iron]

Emboar using literally any attack killed the attempt

[forest ferry]

If you don't have Evelyn, run NCblue or ssmina if you have em

[rocky harbor]

I forgot what arcanine blue is good at again

[crude iron]

On type sun damage

[forest ferry]

Wait I put 2 serenas

Fixed

Dps

[rocky harbor]

Oh me and torchic

[forest ferry]

Arca blue just spam hyperbeam

[rocky harbor]

I need to grind fire codexes first

[forest ferry]

Tho you have to reset the stage if you get hit with sludge wave coz ethan wants to be at full HP

[rocky harbor]

uh oh

And who do i have to ex

?

[forest ferry]

everyone that's exable except serena , arca blue and ssmay

[rocky harbor]

Serenas just there to sleep after all

But shes already exed lmao

too late

[forest ferry]

If you only want 180k, you don't have to ex everyone

Just try the stages out first

Medal might need more ex

[rocky harbor]

like a 250ish?

For difficulty

Or more

[forest ferry]

200 is good start

[rocky harbor]

Alright

[forest ferry]

I did 200 first attempt and mostly got 40k range

[plush raven]

This stuff is hard

[rocky harbor]

Might as well since i have insomnia lmao

[signal needle]

Ah yes the day of the HS

[rocky harbor]

well hello to you too

but yeah i’ll try like 220

Something like that

[crude iron]

Gonna have to push for score tomorrow ech.

My silver clear is basically capped out ik that much

[rocky harbor]

Okay how is flannery supposed to tank

[crude iron]

(250, 250, 230, 250, 250)

[rocky harbor]

How did that kiawe team work?

[crude iron]

My kiawe team? Anni n was on a noble roar nuke grid. Torchic literally died after three turns lmao but it was enough to set up anni with -4 atk -6 spatk and just nuke the stage from orbit

[rocky harbor]

dayum your support dying right away is crazy cause with me i did 300 and as soon as my kiawe died everyone else did shortly after too 😭

[crude iron]

Isn’t pretty but it got it done

I think I can push more strength on that stage prob cuz I had a blue flare miss too

[rocky harbor]

Rng in a battle with many turns isnt funny 😭

[crude iron]

I basically presynced almost all of it cause of how dangerous post sync is without limited tanks

Fire lacks a lot of defensive as f2p

[rocky harbor]

Pre sync is even crazier

would pulling ss hilda do anything for me?

Is she any good at 1/5

[haughty haven]

Selfie me at top 9 when game is bugging now

[young stone]

Kiawe 2 powerups away from ex
Gonna try this HS to Master Rank, but I fear I don’t have enough for it

[stray dust]

Looks like fire HS might have some offtype

[young stone]

Any suggestions for Flint?

Or Flannery

Idk whats the hardest stage here

[rocky harbor]

Oh man

You have better pairs than me

Lmaoooo

[young stone]

But I still have a skill issue in these high score events

[rocky harbor]

Never back down

Never give up

[stark coyote]

if it helps you should be able to do it with those pairs

sometimes reminding yourself it's possible is a good motivator lol

[rocky harbor]

until you realize a considerable amount of luck is also in the equation

[loud pumice]

How many strength points do I need on each stage to get all rewards?

[maiden canopy]

Depends, best you need to average 36k on each stage

[rigid steppe]

How are these teams?

[young stone]

I see the same idea: going with Anni N on Kiawe

Gonna try with Anni N first, but do I offtype?

[sturdy glen]

@onyx crystal when will the score submissions start?

[cyan tusk]

Went 350 on chili bc I gotta go back to work but this is not fun at all

[maiden canopy]

Whasts rank?

[cyan tusk]

1

For a couple of seconds I guess
But I can do better I need to rearrange teams

[plush raven]

Damn

[mortal timber]

Gonna do 350 chili too here atm

I'll clear it after lunch

[cyan tusk]

I can also do better on flannery

[mortal timber]

With what I can use I can do 400 at least

[cyan tusk]

Im not committing to 3/5 Vlucas or Vkiawe so im not gonna aiming to rank 1 after all

[mortal timber]

Flan I did almost 90k points so far

[plush raven]

Top bad I don’t have cinderace or Blaziken to play this teams

[red solstice]

I have a lot of good units, but not a lot of fire.

[maiden canopy]

Oh fuck it man

I like using Silver and SS May on CS, but it's time for someone different

[desert elm]

Gotta go to work but progress so far. Only 200 power.

[maiden canopy]

WTF, right side Hyper Beam critted my C. Leaf for 3280

[desert elm]

After I saw that HB I made sure May murdered the right side before she did Kiawe.

[plush raven]

Ideas for Chili and Flint?

[sturdy glen]

leon for flint + ss red if you want
ss hilda + kiawe for chili

[undone idol]

Who needs NC Leaf the most?

[sullen pier]

Check the pins fir grading sheet

[undone idol]

Oh

[mortal timber]

Done my first round of clears

[undone idol]

right

[mortal timber]

So far the worst experience I have ever had on a HS Event

Gonna start real improvements the 11th, when leaf gets cake

[undone idol]

Why is everything F on Kiawe

oh all the strike pairs are useless

[sullen pier]

Kiawe's special rule is Strike getting -80% stats

yeah

[undone idol]

Is Blaine enough dps on Kiawe or do I need someone else

[sullen pier]

Blaine has no dps

[undone idol]

Ok I'm using Leaf for Kiawe then

Do I still need Blaine or nah

[royal sluice]

Could you'll help me choose which primary attacker for each of the stages?
Just mainly looking at 180k

Oh yeah and Leaf can be caked in like 9 days

[undone idol]

How are these teams? Those are all my fire types

[royal sluice]

What happened to your eggmons?

[undone idol]

I dont have ny

are eggmons any good

[royal sluice]

Yes, fire eggmons have a ton of sun setters and generally above average supports.

[undone idol]

which ones are the best

[royal sluice]

There's fuecoco obviously, then flareon is coming up in a week or so, and ninetales is also another sun setter

[undone idol]

i want support right

[royal sluice]

Support fuecoco and tech ninetales

[undone idol]

ok

what lucky skill do i want

vigilance right

[stray stag]

Hello! Does anybody know if the scores for this high score event are higher on average than the other events 😮

[sullen pier]

Flareon comes one day before the end of HS

[sullen pier]

the ranking is bugged rn, if thats what you mean

the scores are normal

[royal sluice]

Probably

[sullen pier]

your Kiawe team has no tank
there is no offensive support on Flint team
Flannery team is squishy

[stray stag]

Ah yes I meant the ranking, because I’m at Great 3 when I hit 180k so I thought master would take like 240-250k this time around

[undone idol]

I got eggmon tank now

[stray stag]

Thanks for the help!

[royal sluice]

Serena maxes out her stats

[sullen pier]

#1128052735967764621 message here is the current rank list

[sullen pier]

but there is no crit

and its an issue from 100 strength onwards

wait did i ping you?

[royal sluice]

There isn't? I thought she had it nvm

[sullen pier]

dont do that, even Torchic struggles to tank

[royal sluice]

Yeah eggmons aren't tanks, just supports

[undone idol]

How about now

[undone idol]

bruh

i only got 4 support fire types

for 5 teams

[thorny flume]

Any team recommendations for this high score? Will I be able to achieve the high score badge with these units?

I also have a tech ninetales

[undone idol]

which tech can sub in for support

[stray stag]

I used NC Leaf to tank Kiawe and it worked pretty well

[undone idol]

do you need the cake

i can get the cake

[signal needle]

Whoever told me to use V lucas against Flannery didnt tell me he was weak against Flannery's sync

[stray stag]

It was doing OK before cake but cake made it a lot more comfortable

[signal needle]

[undone idol]

ok

[stray stag]

You could try without cake first and see how it feels

[undone idol]

i already got it

[stray stag]

Oh my haha for Kiawe you can kill the middle and right and farm attacks off houndoom

[hybrid nova]

Decided to reattempt my lowest scoring match against Flannery

[stray stag]

Doesn’t hit very hard so if you get lucky with potion MPR or have some form of gradual healing it kinda gets you a lot of points

[undone idol]

How are my teams now

[quick gulch]

Does the Kiawe team need 3 sun setters

[undone idol]

what

oh

i guess i could take some away lol

bruh i soloed with leaf

just added some useless sync pairs for the boost

[hasty zenith]

It's so good when the fight is finished on the first day Quite easy 180k even with 3 pairs off-type

[shell oak]

does anyone want to be a pal and help me construct some teams

fuecoco is support

[hasty juniper]

Does Chili have Sentry X2 or something? Hilda's just bouncing off him

[outer whale]

So how accurate has been the grading sheet?

[crimson python]

fire is so much harder than electric lol

[outer whale]

If it's inaccurate, roast me like the HSE roasted you.

[hasty juniper]

I think you undersold Flannery a touch

[outer whale]

The unit or battle?

[hasty juniper]

The unit

[outer whale]

I had her as BCACA

Was she just as good for Blaine and Chili there?

[signal needle]

Im alrdy exhausted by my 2nd matcj

Its funny that flabbergast Blaine was saving Evelyn's ass

[storm sinew]

for the stages besides Flannery, is vigilance or fire guard better

also marley folds like a wet paper towel against blaine 🙃 ig i have to 5star her (currently 4)

[hasty juniper]

5*ing Marley is worth it, she's fairly decent

[digital jungle]

Isn't Marley a 3* pair

[sullen pier]

well you can raise her rarity

they meant she is currently 4*

[signal needle]

Marley has one of the greatest bulks

[sullen pier]

i think Fire Guard is def useful on every stage except Kiawe and Flannery

[tardy quartz]

Why am I in rank Great 3????

What

[sullen pier]

Nick the ranking is bugged

[tardy quartz]

Bruhh

[digital jungle]

I mean aren't 3*s bad

[tranquil blaze]

Team building suggestions? I’m just trying to get all the rewards n that’s it

[digital jungle]

Aside from the one exception that people say which is Skyler

[untold rampart]

Yeah... I'm not really a fan of this High Score Event.

[sullen pier]

no one is bad in this game aside from Grimsley

[shell oak]

https://tenor.com/view/lies-markiplier-gif-8056746

[slow obsidian]

Ugh, true (Ig?)

[sullen pier]

lets be real here, 3* are not bad, and every unit can find their use

[lone bronze]

[sullen pier]

no not you

[hasty juniper]

Varies, but Marley is one of the better ones.

[arctic quest]

[hasty juniper]

She can max Speed in two buttons, and can grid into slow burn Atk or slow burn SpAtk supporting

Or just outright burn spam

Sure there's better

But Marley is solid enough

[chilly flame]

@arctic quest Mr helper I need help

[arctic quest]

Wha

[chilly flame]

My pairs are dying

[arctic quest]

Skill issue

[hasty juniper]

Same lmao

[chilly flame]

Understood

[arctic quest]

[hasty juniper]

Chili hits like a train and Hilda is bouncing off him

[arctic quest]

on a real note tho me too

cos wtf are these fire type supports

[hasty juniper]

It's like 200-250? Flare Blitz is doing three figures after a suppex sync

I swear the bastard has sentry x2

Doesn't help that Torchic dies in 2 hits and Kiawe struggles to survive to the first sync

[red solstice]

Managed to push 120k but dunno if I can push further until I get more fire units.

[tribal nexus]

This is gonna be my first high score event and I want to aim for the tech candy at least (~156k)

I have only 12 fire units

Is it possible to kinda clear a stage using mostly 2 pairs (and a third weaker one) ?

[radiant pebble]

Hello fire hs sucks bye bye

[red owl]

I'm struggling with this one

[shell oak]

Does this look ok?

Nvm replaced flint with bluecanine

But other than that its the same

[zealous elm]

Jesus is Blaine supposed to hit like a truck? Or Marley just sucks that much?

Even with Group Fire Guard she can't even endure a single Fire Blast

[short flicker]

ye this hs is beating me down

[graceful pike]

are there

any metas yet

[arctic quest]

Yeah, Glora

[hollow aurora]

So, looks to be 230k might be my best shot of staying in master rank. Have yet to see one without Tina.

[warm vigil]

Is it possible to do each stage with all fire with these units? If so, how much should I boost the stage difficulty?

[blazing birch]

Glora

The Best Fire Flying unit in the game

[warm vigil]

True

[fresh turtle]

Was so worried about ethan but turned out silver was the one i ended up not using

He counters flannery's sandstorm with sun sure but his damage is so cute i die everytime

But seriously i was lucky too that i finally got ss hilda to save me. Gonna get entei from ticket and try again. Also I just got lucky managing with mc torchic as tank. Took a lot of reset before i finished

Blaine was surprisingly tough for the only stage with no rules

[shell oak]

blaine does not have +1 eva i dont believe it

kiawe keeps missing EVERY shadow bone

[silent urchin]

what team did you use?

[fresh turtle]

Ss red/marley/blue

[forest ferry]

Ah yes when -6 acc rock slide hits cerena

[silent urchin]

dang, grids?

might replicate that tbh

[graceful pike]

Day 1 tactics

I do believe fire HS is hard because Fire lacks innate disruptors

So far we need

5/5 mayziken

And irida

[fresh turtle]

My red is 2/5 and marley isnt exed

My run couldve been better if my marley was exed

[graceful pike]

dewit

[whole finch]

Why is she not OP bruh

[graceful pike]

they kinda

fixed that

she's SOLID

[whole finch]

oh?

[graceful pike]

better than SS Red

because no Rock weakness

debuffs

better burns

and more

[signal needle]

"Debuffs" 5/5 moment

[whole finch]

👀

[topaz sleet]

is glorialt best vs flint?

for flying nuke

[haughty haven]

Gloria is strong, she can pre-Sync Flint at 440 str as solo dmg

[topaz sleet]

that sounds like a yes to me

[tall arrow]

Random teams for my first attempt, I don’t know if I’ll try to get an higher score, considering I don’t have Gloria

[whole finch]

💀

[ornate cobalt]

I am guessing 200-300 is enough to get the rewards?

[fresh turtle]

Ill redo this event on the weekend. I want to try to swap some units on other teams. Like morty on ss hilda team

Gonna see if i can ex marley as well

[maiden canopy]

Where's the best place to use C. Leaf?

[graceful pike]

depends on where you are lacking a healer + debuffer

and sun

so

i'd suggest flannery

[maiden canopy]

Well, I have 5 units to set up sun, including tech Ninetales

[graceful pike]

I don't wanna be rude but Tech Ninetails is just Blaine but worse

sun is not that important

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmst

[fresh turtle]

Ye idk why they did not give blaine mpr on sunny day

[main pulsar]

How do you live for so long

[forest ferry]

Why is evasion never happening

[maiden canopy]

I haven't done it yet

[forest ferry]

-6 accuracy not enuff

[blazing birch]

That's a low bar

[graceful pike]

increase your own accuracy too

XD

[blazing birch]

[haughty haven]

Our pair with +6 evasion or enemy get -6 acc : still get hit
Enemy pair with +1 evasion or our pair get -1 acc: miss everything

[forest ferry]

Cerena run feels hell

[maiden canopy]

Nah, that's perfectly normal, WDYM?

[forest ferry]

I need to replace Lcalem for smth

[hybrid nova]

It’s even more annoying if rockslide ONLY hits the one unit you didn’t want it to hit

[livid tusk]

How we doing today?

[topaz sleet]

lodge calem so bad

[ornate cobalt]

I am struggling to see what teams I can build

I lack a few lodge pairs

[topaz sleet]

aren't calem and irida the only fire lodge pairs

neither are particularly stellar

[hybrid nova]

If I’m lucky I will be able to get Lodge Gladion tomorrow

[forest ferry]

irida is busted

Flinch and nuke

[quick gulch]

Irida locked behind a master fair too lol

[forest ferry]

Also okay dps

[topaz sleet]

busted is a big word

[forest ferry]

she's pretty much second best to 5/5 ssmay for this event

[ornate cobalt]

5/5 ss may 💀

[topaz sleet]

huh???

certainly you are trolling

[forest ferry]

Have you even checked her kit?

[unreal crest]

oh snap I forgot about HS today

uh

[topaz sleet]

i have lodge irida yes

she is not the second best unit for this event LMAO

[hybrid nova]

Well the leaderboard is currently bugged
Master rank having 40 places
With the other ranks only having 3

[ornate cobalt]

Here’s what I am working with any suggestions?

I also have like 50 5* tickets so exing won’t be a issue

[topaz sleet]

5 star marley

[unreal crest]

I do not care for the leaderboard

[topaz sleet]

leaving her at 3 star is way too squishy and she's one of the few fire units who can take hits

[ornate cobalt]

Can’t atm

[topaz sleet]

4 star?

[hybrid nova]

Fair enough
Leader board is only important if you want bragging rights or high score medal

[ornate cobalt]

I only had 9 3*

[unreal crest]

I already have the medal

[outer whale]

Flint hits like a truck

[unreal crest]

I just need the gems

[topaz sleet]

oh

[unreal crest]

[topaz sleet]

that's unfortunate

[hybrid nova]

Good for you
I hope I get the medal this event
Just a matter of waiting for the leaderboard to be fixed
Currently at 231k

[unreal crest]

cool

[outer whale]

I actually have to EX Marley

[livid tusk]

Irida better

She can flinch and burn at least

[ornate cobalt]

Can ncserena come out already so I can pull to level up these 3*

[forest ferry]

Should I ex ethan for evasion hax?

[ornate cobalt]

I was thinking of doing that and Hilda but idk yet until I win a fight

Also the parameters are 300 just for the rewards?

[whole finch]

Eiii 2nd try
Not bad for NC Leaf right?

[forest ferry]

I got 35k+ just with 200 str

the hp condition feels pretty big

[ornate cobalt]

Who did you use?

[forest ferry]

Don't remember

I reset those runs

[ornate cobalt]

[forest ferry]

I started event with 200 str and already got 150k+

[main pulsar]

Do you sync With leaf sides

Or spam mid

[forest ferry]

Then reset for high strength runs

[ornate cobalt]

Time to figure it out with random teams

Gonna try ss morty anni n and ss Hilda for blaine

[zealous elm]

The stat decrease points only apply if they compensate their buffs?

[forest ferry]

Stat decrease condition doesn't scale well

Don't bother too much abt it

Iirc it's like -6 all stats on 3 mobs = 1k each

[ornate cobalt]

Hmm who to use for kiawe

I feel like I am gonna struggle with flannery and him the most

[cunning shore]

Okay I need to start
What's the highest teams rn

[forest ferry]

Anni N or NCleaf for kiawe

[ornate cobalt]

Welp lemme reset blaine

[forest ferry]

kiawe wants spl def down

[whole finch]

NC Leaf can tank & nuke Kiawe

[forest ferry]

So those 2 are only options

Unless you are willing to mald with serena

[whole finch]

well if you cake role her anyway

[ornate cobalt]

Anni n ss morty ss hilda

[outer whale]

yea, i can't even do 300 on Blaine even with Leon

[ornate cobalt]

Maybe 200 is the best

[outer whale]

went to 275

[forest ferry]

Psure I did higher and my leon is 1/5

[livid tusk]

I might have to get through with either easier perimeters or use good Supports

[forest ferry]

Tho lirida was the one carrying the stage

He was just there for nukes

[zealous elm]

No, like I had a bunch of SpDef lowered on the team

But still got 0 points from that category

[forest ferry]

oh wait Blaine why leon for Blaine when he hardcounters flint

Probs coz they already raised spl def

[ornate cobalt]

Got a low 36 compared to the 40 for blaine but that’s okay

[zealous elm]

No, like at fainting they had lowered SpDef

[ornate cobalt]

I am gonna take out flannery next

[zealous elm]

But I dunno

[sullen kestrel]

Help? I need 190k to fix my ticket count

[zealous elm]

I just saw how many points does that give anyways

It's basically nothing

[whole finch]

Should i?

[zealous elm]

Anyways, I'm done with this one, don't feel like optimizing much between having to reset for burn procs and random crits obliterating weak tanks
300-200-200-200-300

Having only 5 sup and 5 techs isn't fun either

[whole finch]

I'm gonna do it anyway

[outer whale]

this is the worst HSE

[forest ferry]

Every hse ever

[outer whale]

water was bearable tho

[forest ferry]

it was the first one

[outer whale]

electric had some broken pairs.

[forest ferry]

When it dropped, it was the worst one

[outer whale]

fire just has no supports whatsoever

[whole finch]

should i use 2 strike candy or 1 strike 1 omni?

[sullen kestrel]

Im willing to do use off type units

[quick gulch]

its supposed to make it interesting

[forest ferry]

Fire has supports
It's just they all are limited

Id say supports are better in budget fire than techs

[whole finch]

NC Leaf moment

[forest ferry]

First stage is nightmare for f2ps

[sullen kestrel]

I can do this besides anni n and ss may what str?

[quick gulch]

Hope you pulled Irida and Glaceon too

[sullen kestrel]

Only 2 and the 4 that arent suck

At tanking atleast

[zealous elm]

It's on the numbers, 1st and 5th are 300

The rest are 200

[young stone]

Any thoughts on these teams?
I used the teams for Flan & Kiawe with success
200 strenght

[forest ferry]

tanking wise all types except water and grass are shit

[sullen kestrel]

Oh oops

[whole finch]

should i do 2 strike or 1 strike 1 omni?

[forest ferry]

I am still surprised nobody's using NCblue

[ornate cobalt]

I really wish these feathers were 3* power ups instead

[whole finch]

i did

oh

nc blue

[quick gulch]

off type as a last resort

[forest ferry]

NCblue is better than most fire supports

[main pulsar]

What do you mean

[ornate cobalt]

I probably never going to use these feathers ever and I should be able to trade these for 3* power ups

[main pulsar]

He’s better than like every support

That’s a really hard bar to clear

[forest ferry]

I meant for this event

[quick gulch]

Probably the most broken unit in the game?

[whole finch]

Should i use 2 strike candy?

[main pulsar]

How high strength do you need to be to make up for the difference though

[topaz sleet]

are these good teams? they’re in order from top left to right

[zealous elm]

Probably only SSMorty is better than NCBlue for this event

[young stone]

I don’t know what to do 😦

[outer whale]

If you're not using the feathers, it's because you've not done skill gears yet

[topaz sleet]

leftover units i have are hilda flannery flint lodge calem and event blue

[young stone]

Wanna use ss May somewhere

Wheres her best place?

[topaz sleet]

i dont have ss may or c leaf

[quick gulch]

I haven't used my feathers because I don't want to learn about skill gears tbh

[ornate turret]

Bicio used ncblue in his run

[forest ferry]

[quick gulch]

tough deciding which stages to tactically deploy my 3 whole fire supports to.

[forest ferry]

Bicio's runs do look super fun

Too bad I can't replicate any of em

[young stone]

Does 1 offtype supp unit decrease ranking so much?

[austere ferry]

Oh god, i need to rethink my Flannery team

[quick gulch]

well you get a 2x multi instead of 3x. so quick maths, about 33% less

[whole finch]

Alr i used my 2 strike candies

[austere ferry]

Also forgot about the MC/rival bonus for Flint 😕

[sage galleon]

What does Leon do better vs Flint than vs Blaine?

[forest ferry]

Hurricane spam with seun

And max quake

[cyan tusk]

Has runner shared his teams? I wanna know how he invented other 40K

[quick gulch]

What stage do we like victini on the most

[sage galleon]

The one less Ground weak makes that big of a difference?

[forest ferry]

He spams hurricane on mid, once mid dies, max quake kills another side
So only 1 side left to take down

[ornate cobalt]

What grid should I use for Evelyn

[austere ferry]

Was tempted to sink 2 candies into SS Hilda, then I remember it’s mostly for her sync damage, which will be useless vs Flannery… unless i use her for someone else. Victini’s best use is vs Flannery, right?

[austere ferry]

1/5? Just get all the nodes

[sage galleon]

Ah ok

[topaz sleet]

leon also w piercing gaze

so he doesnt have to worry about the evasion buffs

[forest ferry]

leon can fight Blaine as well if you have Gloria to use

[sage galleon]

Don't they both have Evasion

[ornate cobalt]

She’s 3:5

[sage galleon]

Well I don't

[forest ferry]

Leon's best stage is flint, but Gloria is better at sweeping flint than leon

[ornate cobalt]

I wonder if I should ex her…

[forest ferry]

So if you have both you move leon to Blaine

Otherwise leon is for flint

[austere ferry]

You cant EX evelyn at the moment

[ornate cobalt]

We cant?

[quick gulch]

locked behind story rerun

[forest ferry]

You 3/5d Evelyn not knowing she doesn't have ex?

[ornate cobalt]

I think she might be the key to beating up kawie if I support sync

[quick gulch]

wait not evelyn my b

was thinking of someone else

[ornate cobalt]

No it’s because she’s probably the only usable support I have and she was my first ticket pull

When pulling ticket units I usually focus on getting them 3/5 before I move on to the next unit

[ornate turret]

more units is better tho

[ornate cobalt]

Yeah I have most of em but their 1/5

[forest ferry]

Ok
Imma go back to reset hell with cerena

[ornate cobalt]

But I am glad I did consdering ya know high score events

[forest ferry]

♿♿♿

[topaz sleet]

i might 3/5 evelyn too next ticket i get, its not a bad idea

synchro healing is a very good grid skill

[desert elm]

Have fun y’all. I got the 180k stuff I’m out.

[ornate cobalt]

It saved me

Overheat or SF for silver??

[quick gulch]

I thought Emboar is a sync nuker primarily, why's everyone got her on flannery

[atomic hamlet]

Flare Blitz gaming probably

[chilly flame]

So are y’all having fun

[desert elm]

I figured with SS Morty by her side it would be a brain dead win despite the Param.

[stray dust]

Hi sand toes

[atomic hamlet]

You need sun for flannery so using Morty is good there

[stray dust]

I'm waiting to steal a team and lower the strength for easy 180k

[tiny breach]

I got 185k

Not touching this again

[desert elm]

Yup I knew he was a lock for that stage.

[maiden canopy]

I still haven't done a single level yet

[desert elm]

All of mine were at 200 strength

[stray dust]

Hmm

I guess I can move things around

Has anyone even use NC Serena for chili

[hybrid nova]

If there is any HS event I want to get the medal in, it’s this one

[ornate cobalt]

Did you use overheat or SC silver?

[zealous elm]

SC?

[ornate cobalt]

Sacred fire I mean

[zealous elm]

Ah no, Overheat all the way through

Wanted to roll Mind Games 2 on Flannery, but didn't have that many 1* cookies nor enough luck

[ornate cobalt]

Ah I see

Time to get some dauntless rolls

[outer whale]

finally finished and got 240K

i'd rather not deal with this event again tbh. Fire's too limited on Supports

[graceful pike]

and flinchers

[warm vigil]

What’re the best teams I can make for each stage

[ornate cobalt]

He’s barely doing any dmg oh my god what’s wrong with my silver

It must be because I put dauntless on him

[warm vigil]

I just realized I only have 3 fire supports

[austere ferry]

Silver's DPS isn't really something to write home about, even with all his multipliers... his sun-boosted sync, on the other hand...

[atomic hamlet]

He goes well with SS Morty though since Morty is almost immortal in sun

And sync provides free sun

[outer whale]

You won't go far with this. save Leaf for Flannery, Save Kiawe for Chili, Save Serena for Flint, Save SSHilda for Kiawe, and save Flannery as a Pusedo tank. Use Marley as a support for regen, but the rest, you will need to ontype the battle.

[austere ferry]

wait, why Leaf for Flannery? you'd be wasting her amazing sync nuke

[outer whale]

Because you need to get rid of sandstorm asap

Blaine you could use, but he's very squishy as a unit

[quick gulch]

I used Leaf on Kiawe, there’s plenty of sun setters

[ornate cobalt]

My flannery so squishy

Damn it I need some 3*

Probably gonna try some pulls on the mix banner

[cunning shore]

Finally got time to do them, Here with the most random teams @icy burrow
First attempt
I am gonna reset all runs though 🙈

[hardy fog]

Solid

Bro would you try silver over Ethan?

I'm pretty sure it will be better

[sage galleon]

Why Marley with NC Blue?

[hardy fog]

Marley is the burner I guess

[cunning shore]

Extra hittingbag

[ornate cobalt]

Silver is very squishy if ss morty dies

[tardy quartz]

Choosing a support for this event be like

[cunning shore]

Ethan overall has better survivability, healing in sun and initial guard which helps a lot

[cyan tusk]

@mortal timber where’s your first draft

[mortal timber]

Nowhere to be seen

It's horrendous

[warm vigil]

How much should I boost the stage you think?

[mortal timber]

In 3 days I'll start doing serious clears

[cunning shore]

I might copy some of your runs

[cyan tusk]

We wanna see it

[outer whale]

depends on your non-fire units

[mortal timber]

Dude it's like so bad hahaha

[cyan tusk]

You can take whatever you wish but it’s a mess and I have no will to redo some stages

[tardy quartz]

I cant even make drafts I just don’t know what the hell i’m doing

[mortal timber]

My flint needs a quick fix

[tardy quartz]

I have 2 runs done both above 65k and I just don’t know how to do the rest

[mortal timber]

And it's impossible to do it at the same time

[tardy quartz]

My support options suck because there are like 3 good supports

Hmmmm wait I just came to a realization on something

On kiawe… wtf is Evelyn doing

I can maybe replace her since I have Leaf who is basically the support

Hmmmm

[cunning shore]

From my experience, none of the weak support can carry a team by themselves, even as 5* 20/20 or EX

[tardy quartz]

Tina can put in some work tbh

[cunning shore]

So Marley, Torchic and eeeeeh a bit of unlucky Tina are really rough to use standalone

[stray dust]

Truly a fire hs

[hardy fog]

Serena is just so weird

[silent urchin]

@mortal timber for the double ho-oh and reshiram team, what was your strength adjustment at

+400?

[hardy fog]

Dies to first sync. Hypnosis is inconsistent vs flint or blaine

[mortal timber]

+600

[hardy fog]

Can't burn when it's sleep

[mortal timber]

I need to retry it later to see if I can get 90k points there

[shell oak]

this was a nightmare would not recommend

needed silver eva hacks and marley tm mpr lol

[hardy fog]

Flint has earthquake

And Marley is weak

[shell oak]

the side emboar has eq

[silent urchin]

wtf im getting murked

[shell oak]

but it doesnt always use it

[silent urchin]

what are the grids and lucky skills

[hardy fog]

Also both of them competing for sync

[shell oak]

my hilda is 1/5

[mortal timber]

After dinner I'll send everything

[shell oak]

she did not sync

[mortal timber]

Just returned from swimming and I am dead

[silent urchin]

ight ty

LOL how did it go

were u constantly thinking of +620

[mortal timber]

Very liberatory

[hardy fog]

You are almost better to put a sun setter

[mortal timber]

This HS event is real difficult

[silent urchin]

its only difficult bc of the lack of fire support

[ornate cobalt]

I only have flint and blaine left

[hardy fog]

I don't think any of the hs was easy if you want to hit top 100 haha

[silent urchin]

water was

theres a plethora of good water supports

[ornate cobalt]

This is all I have left for blaine and flint

[shell oak]

morty's set on flannery, used blaine, eggmons die too fast; and silver… is a sunsetter, so, lol

[chilly flame]

The fact that you’re saying this with the roster you have pisses me off

[silent urchin]

i can try to help (?)

altho admittedly i myself havent breached 300k yet

[chilly flame]

No don’t help him, I’m ranked higher than he is rn

[silent urchin]

kek

[valid sage]

what's the minimum of difficulty i have to do to get the basic rewrds

is 200 enough

[silent urchin]

should be, yeah

[maiden canopy]

Well, it depends on your roster and how much you can do the fights with your units

[ornate cobalt]

Who should I use for Blaine

[maiden canopy]

Blaine is free as he has no rules on him

[sullen kestrel]

hahahahaha

https://tenor.com/view/manyks-humorfortukey-sad-funny-turkey-gif-22100630

[ornate cobalt]

Yeah but my roster is now limited to these pairs

[maiden canopy]

have you tried Leonzard on Blaine?

[sullen kestrel]

Dont have him

[maiden canopy]

Not you

[ornate cobalt]

Not yet

[sullen kestrel]

My fire roster

[sullen kestrel]

And my full roster

[sullen kestrel]

Oh

[ornate cobalt]

Okay but Leon + who + who

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmmm

[cunning shore]

I want a team that works with SS Hilda vs blaine that doesn't use NC blue

[maiden canopy]

Honestly, I have no idea. Sorry

[slate sphinx]

Close one for first time Kekw

[maiden canopy]

How much STR?

[slate sphinx]

300

[valid sage]

think i can pull this off w these? first was chili

[ornate cobalt]

Idk maybe torchic Leon serena idk idk idk

[valid sage]

ofc blaine starts with fire blast

[arctic quest]

What strength is the vs Blaine team? I'm having trouble with Tina tanking

Points rn, a lot to be moved around if I continue to push

[forest ferry]

I am crying

[cunning shore]

400 only 👀

[cunning shore]

1000str?

[sullen kestrel]

im alr in great 3 wtf

[forest ferry]

550

I am never doing 1000 str

[arctic quest]

Ranking's bugged

[cunning shore]

Why nottttt

[arctic quest]

I should be Master 50 but I'm Ultra 6 or something lol

[tardy quartz]

I’ll change that real quick

[outer whale]

This is what pain feels like.

[forest ferry]

Reset hell

[tardy quartz]

My last 3 runs at like 150 STR can beat your current score

[ornate cobalt]

Guess I need to offtype blaine and flint

[sullen kestrel]

Oooo

[rocky harbor]

Guys would anyone be nice enough to run the nc leaf serena and flannery team at like 250?

i just feel like im doing something wrong

Oh wait

[ornate cobalt]

Again this is all I have left I was thinking leon + serena with a offtype support

[rocky harbor]

Yeah this is against kiawe

[tardy quartz]

Ok I saw a Kiawe run with my current team but with like 90,000 points…

Now the question is: How tf do I replicate it

[rocky harbor]

what team was it?

[chilly flame]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-beat-it-choreography-dance-80s-music-gif-20426981

[arctic quest]

Real

[tardy quartz]

NC Leaf / Lodge Irida / Eveyln

[chilly flame]

just flinch with irida and nuke with leaf

[tardy quartz]

I mean yeah

But with leaf, I feel like you want to keep sun a bit, right?

Like a nuke would require you to use up both your sun’s in such short time

[mortal timber]

time to see if i can crack 90k points on flannery

[tardy quartz]

Unless you don’t pick up sun sync

Idk

I’ll cook later and see

[rocky harbor]

Fine 🙄🙄

[chilly flame]

Well Leaf's nuke is very solid so I assume that's the give and take

plus if you have her support cake that helps

[rocky harbor]

What do i do if i dont have irida

[chilly flame]

use serena

[rocky harbor]

oh great

I do have her

i dont think i have evelyn though

I can get her though

[arctic quest]

There's 6 fire supports in total, gotta scrape up everything you can find lol

[ornate cobalt]

I am trying leon + serena for blaine but I have no idea who my offtype unit should be

Maybe ssacerola…

[whole finch]

1 of them is limited and 2 of them (not the same as the limited) doesn't have EX

[arctic quest]

[crude iron]

Trying to increase score here and this is so painful

[chilly flame]

My biggest achievement is making Ethan work in this event

[crude iron]

Same I made him work on flannery

[ornate cobalt]

Adaman for the win but I did 300 without the boost

[crude iron]

I hate this so much

I regret resetting my kiawe score

Got so lucky on my first attempt without realizing

How much rng was involved

[tardy quartz]

I see something in this team now

[chilly flame]

There ya go

[rocky harbor]

How does this look

[crude iron]

All that for like a couple hundred vs the old score

How am I gonna do +10k guys

[rocky harbor]

Probably safe to do a run

[crude iron]

Evelyn on kiawe is overkill imo

Blaine prob best stage for eve

Blaine hits hard

[rocky harbor]

But then why flannery

thats a tech

[crude iron]

Some techs can tank

What’s your other supports for fire btw

[icy burrow]

Pogs run looks good! Also why did they change the rankings from master to great now? Is this pokemon sleep?

[crude iron]

I’d say either Tina if not using elsewhere or torchic if not using elsewhere

[tardy quartz]

Getting there

[crude iron]

Or the arcanine girl

[rocky harbor]

Blaziken said to use both mc chic and tina on flint

[crude iron]

That sounds overkill to use two buffers in one place whatd be your dps for flint

Like do they really need both

[rocky harbor]

Ss red

Probably not

[crude iron]

Idk why ya got recommended that then

[rocky harbor]

I think it was rushed

[crude iron]

Cause that’s two tanks for one fight

[hardy fog]

@cyan tusk How does nc blue live the brave bird at 850

[crude iron]

Which is when fire has a tank shortage

[rocky harbor]

Whos better overall tina or mc chic

Probably tina huh

[hardy fog]

Tina easy charm

[rocky harbor]

Oh shit she has endurance

thats good

[quick gulch]

Whys is charizard dealing no damage

Max sp atk btw

[rocky harbor]

What about haymaker

[hardy fog]

Grid?

[quick gulch]

1/5 so basically everything, level 140. Is his base damage really that garbage?

[rocky harbor]

I wouldnt say that

but his grid makes him better

[hardy fog]

1/5 ss red is bad

Haha

[ornate cobalt]

Flint is making me strugggleee

[quick gulch]

2/5 do anything or is it 3/5 or bust

[rocky harbor]

Maybe i should start off with a different battle

Do kiawe last

[ornate cobalt]

I am using ss Hilda but this is all I have left I offtyped at 300 with Blaine (I probably should have done more points tbh)

[cunning shore]

I have no clue, they say it's a bug

[icy burrow]

Weird bug

But overall I may try our test strategy if zapdps can survive

[honest notch]

my scores……… not the most impressive but already have medal and don’t feel like exing more pairs for higher score.

[signal needle]

Ethan tank OP

[rocky harbor]

Man why does everyone have anni n

😭

[chilly kayak]

you really can't expect a striker sync with no multipliers whatsoever to do good damage, 1/5, sunless and off type just makes it worse

that's not unique to him

[rocky harbor]

There we go

[topaz sleet]

high score would be 10x more enjoyable if the opponents had a determined move order

instead flint can sometimes decide to start with flare blitz immediately into close combat and my tank just drops in 2 moves

[rocky harbor]

Yeah kiawe is op as f too

[fierce matrix]

You don’t get duplicate champion medals do you

[whole finch]

Gotta love how my scores spreaded sporadically

[fierce matrix]

Might just take the easy way out and go for 180

[chilly kayak]

no, the medal can only be obtained once, so it's pointless to chase Master rank multiple times other than bragging rights or whatever

[fierce matrix]

Ok I got the medal last time

So I’ll just go for the rewards

[signal needle]

Geesus

My Ethan tank team got the highest score out of my other teams

Comparable to ss morty tank

Amazing

[whole finch]

.....how?

[chilly kayak]

dark magic

[rocky harbor]

Hows that

[topaz sleet]

literally resetting cuz flint randomly decided to use his attacks rather than his buffs at the start is the most demoralizing shit

[rocky harbor]

It definitely felt too easy though

[topaz sleet]

there is no counterplay

[ornate cobalt]

DONE AT LAST

I depise hs but this one especially

[main shale]

Does Serena sleep chaining work on any of these stages

I just tried it on Flannery and got kicked into the dirt by status condition shield

[tardy quartz]

More points but… hmm

Something worked here and idk what

[ornate cobalt]

Works on blaine ig

[main shale]

Oh looking at the reddit post

It looks like every single one of them has Resilience

[gleaming raven]

pretty sure they all get resilliance after waking up yeah

you can still use it to deny a move but sleep chaining outright isn't gonna work

[main shale]

Big sadge

[cunning shore]

You can sleep chain like flinches,

Once till the condition fades away

You can skip turns

At crucial points

[rocky harbor]

Ahahahah

I did it

[crude iron]

i need just over 10k more points. anyone got any ideas? (slightly increased kiawe score earlier this morning relative to the image, im just shy of 170k atm, was same team tho just diff grids)
260, 250, 230, 250, 250

the kiawe score is basically capped with my current strat, and my silver team has a similar wall atm

[rocky harbor]

I would say do my team but i dont see tina

[crude iron]

i dont own tina, didnt touch paulo banner

[rocky harbor]

lmao

i just got her off a daily

😭

[crude iron]

didnt wanna risk the low chance of investing gems and never seeing tina

[rocky harbor]

I also got nc blue off one daily and i never touched his banner again💀💀💀

[crude iron]

esp since i didnt know if november would be as safe that it is

[rocky harbor]

I got a pretty good score tho right?

That was +300

something around there

I forgot if i put a little bit more

Probably just 300

[crude iron]

im convinced i need to change one of my offtype dps units or majorly increase their points... which is scary.

i could also try higher on flannery but egh, itd be hard to find a way to make that make 10k difference

[lunar loom]

Chili opens with an 870 damage flare blitz that burns me this is with only 350 strength too

what unreleased fire type supports are Dena secretly running where this was considered reasonable in testing

[rocky harbor]

Surely its not that bad

Also is getting medal possible with everyone at 300?

[whole finch]

How the fuck is Kiawe S tier on Chili HSE he fucking died on Chili's flare blitz on FIRST TURN

[crude iron]

im betting someones gonna find a 1k strength team on atleast one of these guys

[crude iron]

high defensive stats, guaranteed def drops

and offense buffs

just dont get flare blitzd

the fights arent scripted so they can decide to use other moves

[signal needle]

Gee my rank is so bad that Im in GREAT

[rocky harbor]

Now for blaine

[rocky harbor]

I know i wanna use arcanine blue and ethan on blaine

But idk what support to use

[fickle igloo]

Can someone please help me build teams for each fight? Or is there any guide link for it?

[rocky harbor]

Evelyn?

[signal needle]

You hv every exable fire unit exed but u still need help

[rocky harbor]

💀

[signal needle]

Oh no TL calem

[fickle igloo]

[signal needle]

[rocky harbor]

You didnt have to do em like that

[signal needle]

Capitalism made me this

[rocky harbor]

Me personally i would say just look at other peoples teams

And take inspiration

[fickle igloo]

Yeah I’ll do that

Ty

[shell oak]

this does not seem right

[arctic quest]

Ranking is bugged

Master Rank cuts off at 40 and it changes to Ultra from there LOL

[shell oak]

lmfao

they rlly said hard mode

[arctic quest]

Don't have the medal? Get top 40

[shell oak]

[rocky harbor]

Hows this

Or is this overkill

[main shale]

Depends how much strength I guess

I would use Evelyn for Flint though

[half orchid]

business idea: florian and skeledirge with synchro solarize demoralize healing 2

[sturdy glen]

[half orchid]

the banner would be doing iron man numbers with the state of these fire type supports

[rocky harbor]

Alright how bout this at 300 strength

[hardy fog]

Should be easy

You just need to time the sun after Blaine sync

[rocky harbor]

350 doable?

[hardy fog]

Put fire guard on Torchic

[rocky harbor]

WHY DOES TORCHIC HAVE CRIT STRIKE 2 😭
