High Score

[cyan tusk]

How the heck i can get to 445K lmao

[brittle cosmos]

You should have plenty of time for burn tho

[mortal timber]

I don't think I will

Cuz I think 3/5 Leon does more on flint than 1/5 victini

Not convenient

[brittle cosmos]

While Red had this

[hardy fog]

O dang haymakerless

[mortal timber]

Already I had to be gaming with stat reboot Leon

Never again

[cyan tusk]

Oh wait, I have a free SSRed now
Lmao

[brittle cosmos]

I initially did Haymaker Red with Torchic

[cyan tusk]

Don’t know where he can do something actually

[brittle cosmos]

But that was because I thought I would use Blaine vs Flannery

Didn't end up doing so

[forest ferry]

Is 1/5 vilda better dps or 4/5 non mega SSred?

[crude iron]

Blaine on his way to being oneshot by flannery:

[cunning shore]

Idk dps but she buffs her defenses and has higher chance of burning with searing fire

[mortal timber]

Where is my legendary Torchic run

My honourable mention

[crude iron]

Speaking of that stage, question for fellow supp Fuecoco users. Would 5star Fuecoco survive her sync if she’s debuffed enough?

[forest ferry]

Yea well I already have a SSred run with burn proc

And SSred living like 80%+ HP

Dunno if I should reset

[mortal timber]

Legend

[crude iron]

Cause four stars gets oneshot at like 250-300 str

[brittle cosmos]

They do similar damage, Hilda does slightly more than non-PR2 Red there, Red does more if he gets to PR2

[forest ferry]

If vilda can shit out better dps I can genuinely try higher strength for similar hp range

[brittle cosmos]

If it was 5/5, then Propulsion 9 would prob give a clear advantage, otherwise either works, Red would peak better depending on how the enemy attacks

But Hilda would take the hits better and is more consistent

Well, assuming that's a non-NC Blue run

[forest ferry]

Hmmm guess I wouldn't reset that run
I doubt I can get good enuff rng to let vilda live more than 70% HP range

[crude iron]

Oh that’s why Fuecoco was dying lmao

I forgot some reason to affinity it

[brittle cosmos]

Oh dang, Serena truly is goated vs Flint

[cunning shore]

Show or it's not true

[brittle cosmos]

It didn't improve much because I just tried swapping N and Serena while keeping the same Strength

But Serena got more points due to HP + MC despite less debuffs

[main pulsar]

help me do cserena vs chili

i am in pain

[brittle cosmos]

So I improved a bit on my points

Maybe I can aim for 300k

Since ik I can do more vs Flint and vs Kiawe

An EX Irida would've been welcome as well

But I'm at 15 silver power ups rn

[crude iron]

Does anyone mind helping me teambuild my reshuffled teams to push further? Just did a full reset cause I need to move units around to push further. I’ve got 20 leftover, and Gonna be exing vilda (haven’t decided if I should candy her or not. Depends on if there’s a more efficient dps vs flannery or not, I’ve got three strike candies on me but prob gonna try to stick to her on flannery so I won’t have to candy)

[rough forum]

Can definitely raise flint

[brittle cosmos]

Yeah, Flint is at the same str as I did with the other team

But it survived way better1

[rough forum]

Leon can definitely get 55-60k

My 58k flint clear with Leon was with Tina and Torchic

[brittle cosmos]

Tina's really nice on this event too tbf

[rough forum]

True

[brittle cosmos]

But yeah, I'm gonna reset and bring it higher

[rough forum]

Btw why...Kiawe on the no heal stage?

[brittle cosmos]

It was the last stage I did on the original run and Kiawe wasn't used yet lol

[rough forum]

Ah lol

[brittle cosmos]

I was thinking of moving him to Chili or Kiawe

[rough forum]

Can probably swap Kiawe with Entei

And get -1/2k in chili

But +6-8k

In flint

[brittle cosmos]

You mean with Entei on Flint?

[rough forum]

Yeah? Or swap
Kiawe on chili
Tina on flint
Kiawe on Kiawe?

Something like that

[brittle cosmos]

Leon and Serena are gonna miss their buffs, no?

[rough forum]

Mhhh yeah

[brittle cosmos]

Yeah, Tina works better

Since Tina can still cover it

[rough forum]

This is what I've went for

Basically same points as you

[onyx current]

Wth an and Serena are goated hype

[forest ferry]

@rough forum similar score range as my ssmina run

All it was free up vilda that I don't have a place to use

[crude iron]

300% hp on 300 strength not bad

[rough forum]

Can probably fumble 350 str with 200something%

[rough forum]

Improvement is improvement

[crude iron]

I could prob get close to 400 strength if I really wanted since I had almost no flinches and still did that much

[forest ferry]

Uhh it's actually less pts

Well if my vilda was 3/5, it would have been a significant boost

1/5 vilda barely better than stuff I already used

[crude iron]

Which boss should I refight next?

Old scores:

Figured my flannery team was already ok to not shuffle

[rough forum]

It freed you a limited

It automatically should mean improvement elsewhere

[forest ferry]

Yea but can't run anywhere else

[rough forum]

You sure you can't raise Roxanne's STR? 36k sounds pretty low to me

Then....uuhhhh yikes

[forest ferry]

Closest replacements are SSred and arcablue

[rough forum]

Arcanine is pretty ass tbh

I bet she's much better

[crude iron]

Roxanne????????????

[forest ferry]

Arcablue has terrify 1

[rough forum]

Flannery

Brainfart

[forest ferry]

It gives -1 atk on flint

With marley it becomes -2

Well she does have better dps

So I'll try shoving her instead

[crude iron]

I’m gonna come back to her when I’ve figured out a couple other revamp teams

To gradually increase her score till I find a sweet spot strength

[rough forum]

I think terrify 1 is barely relevant imo when there's nothing aside swift overwhelm 2 to pile on it

[hardy fog]

ok even if I sleep before 2nd sync I cant squeeze in 2 sync under sun, I dont see why we need drought alert @cunning shore @haughty haven

[rough forum]

Like, I ran bedazzle 1 on my Serena because she could dodge sides AoE in lategame

Terrify barely matters tho

[forest ferry]

Aite, I'll use vilda instead

[crude iron]

Do you think my old Chili team needs any shuffling, Clair? Or should I keep using irida there?

Cause I still feel like kiawe + ssmay is prob optimal

[rough forum]

Kiawe on chili is real nice imo, irida works well there too

Kiawe + ssmay sounds really solid in general for most of the stages tbh

Irida flinches can help Kiawe pile on Def debuffs/gets a safe potion in case you miscalc a lategame rock tomb

I think that team looks perfectly fine

Can definitely even hit 50k with that 👌flinch and potion RNG

[crude iron]

What strength number do you recommend trying on chili

[rough forum]

I'd recommend leaving chili last tbh

[crude iron]

Ok

Who should I redo next then

[hardy fog]

Clair since you been playing this game forever.

Is it physically possible to get 2 sync in between extended sun on NC Leaf? Ie sun before sync and squeeze in another sync before it goes down. Assuming we can use 1 sleep.

[rough forum]

My str recommendation for chili is

• does his sync oneshot your non support? If no you can raise
• if yes you need to lower it lol

I went 350 because 360 STR would oneshot my silver

[rough forum]

Yea

Unless you're queueing some EXTREMELY long animations

It sounds 100% feasible

[crude iron]

Maybe I should do flint next cause of how restrictive no healing is

[hardy fog]

I feel like did the perfect sequence and I sleeped then before my 2nd sync but sun went down

I wonder if any of the moves just have too long animation like b move and potion

[crude iron]

What team do you recommend trying for flint, Clair?

Cause my previous one capping at 230 str kinda cringe

[rough forum]

Mhhh I can't say for sure without footage but I can only recommend to queue with leaf for sun on 9th turn before sync

[rough forum]

Uhhhhhh you got Leon?

[crude iron]

Nope

[hardy fog]

I did

[rough forum]

Ahhh no Leon flint sucks

[cunning shore]

I personally don't try to squeeze in, therefore I don't even use drought alert
I take more faith in my evasion hax

[rough forum]

I have kinda no idea how flint goes without Leon sorry

Like, he needs burn so...

His stage is the only one that actually feels burn

It's not mandatory but it helps

[forest ferry]

OK that was done real quick

For 1/5 that was pretty pog

Got almost 0 damage on marley pre sync very early and damage also seems right threshold

[cyan tusk]

I just had a look and I scored higher in fire hse instead of electric, with pretty much same roaster but fire is definitely harder

[rough forum]

Now that's much better

[forest ferry]

Str:
580
350
340
490
170

[rough forum]

Her gauge regeneration definitely helps

[forest ferry]

@onyx crystal update when free

Man
If she was 3/5

I can Defo do 500+ str

She outnukes 3 sync tiles arca blue with 1/5

[rough forum]

Yeah offtype arcablue sucks

Sub 300 spa moment

Without multipliers

[forest ferry]

I love the Flannery clear
Very f2p

Tho 5* fuecoco let me tank 2 hits

[rough forum]

Yeah what sync grid are you running on torchic?

[forest ferry]

Same grid as what you gave

[rough forum]

Mhmh

[forest ferry]

Emergency barrier wasn't as helpful

But synchro healing was pretty clutch

[rough forum]

So regen + syncro heal + barrier + bulk tiles

[forest ferry]

Think barrier can be dropped
Her sync is special

[rough forum]

Barrier can be shit or insane it all depends on proc timing

Mhhhh probably

[crude iron]

@rough forum does this look ok or should I lower strength for hp reason

Sides get oneshot by silver sync

[forest ferry]

Sacred fire spam?

[crude iron]

Full nuke grid basically

[hardy fog]

Wait so what tile did you go for instead

[crude iron]

He has to full buff himself so it makes the grid really tight

[rough forum]

You are running flabbergast 4 fire spin right

Also idk, I think it's hard to get hp points Vs flint in general

[crude iron]

What would I drop for it been using he for burn while silver setting up to lower incoming dmg

[rough forum]

Mhhhh

[crude iron]

Oh wait I just realized I kept healing on a no heal stage lmao

[rough forum]

Yeahhh

You can have Marley burn

Instead

[tardy quartz]

Anyone know a video of a high scoring Kiawe using Leaf?

Trying to figure out order of moves

[rough forum]

And fish for confusion procs

I was saved by houndoom self hit dpulse + flare blitz self hit on simisear on my chili

[crude iron]

Her hostile is so out of the way

[rough forum]

Lemme see

[crude iron]

I need the bottom quadrants for pep rally and fire guard

Was taking top left for terrify and shielded

[rough forum]

Well.

The option is

Refreshing for mid buffs on T1

[cunning shore]

That's my thing

[rough forum]

To burn with blaine

Then confuse too

[cunning shore]

Would go for the extra sync nodes, but the path is too pricey

[cunning shore]

Check #1100102557109588099 message

Even the higher levels of str pretty much follow the same steps-ish

[tardy quartz]

Amazing, ty

[cunning shore]

For what stage is this?

[hardy fog]

I like

[crude iron]

Flint

Trying to find the strength sweet spot. So far 212str

230 makes it too bulky to oneshot

Gonna test 220

Ok 220 looks like it’s gonna be the strength just need to not be double crit by eq

[rough forum]

🙏

[crude iron]

I’m not stopping till I see 41k

Cause that looks like a good score for this team

So far 40.7 still my pb

For not having optimal units at all for flint I am happy with this

[long oyster]

Do you ever press hypnosis or is it all burn

[cunning shore]

You need hypnosis

Otherwise why even bother take Serena instead of someone that can flinch or something similar

[forest ferry]

I assume burn is proc'd only last minute

[cunning shore]

Yes

Otherwise it ruins the run

[crude iron]

Do I do Blaine or kiawe next? And should I bother with hilda before I have the powerups to ex her honestly thinking just using Zygarde + random junk for Blaine until I ex hilda.

[forest ferry]

What other stages you cleared?

[cunning shore]

Probably will have to Save N for Kiawe as you need someone that debuffs Sp.def

[crude iron]

I’ve cleared flint and flannery so far in this retrain

[forest ferry]

Then kiawe next

[cyan tusk]

Burn ONLY at the end with sacred fire

If you occasionally burn marowak with flame wheel o the b move is instant reset

[crude iron]

Does this seem ok for kiawe

[long oyster]

Makes sense

Thx Bicio

[cyan tusk]

You are welcome

[forest ferry]

Kiawe: Lirida, anni N, Evelyn
Blaine: serena, hilda, torchic
Chili: SSmay, arcablue, kiawe
I'd say

Hilda preferably ex'd

[crude iron]

I can’t ex till Monday at earliest

Need more

[forest ferry]

You can swap lirida and serena if you are targetting higher score on kiawe

[crude iron]

I wish the N setup was faster without having to shove torchic into same team

[forest ferry]

You can also swap Hilda and arca blue if you don't want to deal with Blaine evasion since arca blue buffs self accuracy with TM

It's always gonna be slow

Also you ran out of tanks

Unless you have NCblue, it's not worth

[crude iron]

Tbh might still put torchic into kiawe

I use ncblue on flan

Zerena can self tank cause candied

[forest ferry]

Eh
Then you can try
Kiawe: torchic, anni N, Evelyn
Blaine: NCblue, arca blue, ethan
Chili: ssmay, Hilda, kiawe

[crude iron]

Nc blue is already in flannery team tho

Nc blue ss hilda fuecoco

Is my flannery team

[forest ferry]

Oh then don't bother

I assumed you had him left

[crude iron]

These are remaining limited supports

[forest ferry]

Unless it's NCblue, it's not worth

Closest are ssmina and aura cyn but they aren't as good most cases

Better to run ontype tank

[signal needle]

I like how im rank 264 even tho i use shitty pairs

[stark swallow]

give it to me straight do I have any hope of getting 180k with this fire type roster

[crude iron]

You have two extra tanks and n you’ll be fine

Make sure to use n on kiawe

And kiawe on chili

They counter respective gimmick

[stark swallow]

kk thanks

[crude iron]

I think this was pretty good

I can prob push even higher strength later if I need to

For now tho I’m gonna wait till exd hilda

To push further

Blaine team def the weakest link rn

Cause of having to wait for hilda ex

Before can full ontype

Apparently this is top 3.5k rn

[stray comet]

I beat all the stages. I could probably get better scores but I'm done with this for now

[cyan tusk]

Why rei on Kiawe? He’s not super effective

[crude iron]

I’m guessing they prob don’t have any good fire techs

[crude iron]

I’d move ncblue to flannery team personally and use a full fire team in Blaine personally. You have enough fire types to reasonably do full fire teams elsewhere from what it looks like like idk why you use hop here at all

Marley can tank under sun so I’d move her to kiawe and put eve in her place vs Blaine too

[hardy fog]

@chilly flame mate. Your Ethan set up. Do you need to clear before second 2nd sync? I assume Ethan can't survive

[mental blade]

Trying to piece things together but I don't have a lot of mental energy these days... I just looked over the grading cheat sheet to decide the first two members of each team (left to right). Is this good so far, or should I reshuffle them before I pick out the third member of each?

I already got Master Rank on a previous season so I'm willing to aim lower

[hollow prism]

My team for Flint is SS May, Tina, Irida. I have to wait for enough 5* PUs to upgrade tina but i know i can get 50k+ on her, and i can improve my Flannery and Kiawe teams, i think i’m going to have like 320k at the end

Flint’s going to be like 50-55k

[chilly flame]

Yea

[shy flower]

This is almost exactly what I have for my clears. It looks good so far!

[chilly flame]

You’re basically bombarding them with Overheat and Eruption

[mental blade]

Thanks. Suggestions on the third member for each? If someone else has done the brainwork already, I don't have to do it

My objective would be "above 180k, no score below 36k for peace of mind, and minimal frustration"

[shy flower]

If you have them, I'd put Serena with Leaf and Evelyn, Lodge Irida with Hilda and Marley, Gloria with Leon and Tina, May with Red and Kiawe, and Silver work N and Morty. If you don't have May or Gloria, Lucas or base Hilda would also work

[mental blade]

Excellent! I don't have Gloria but I do have Mayziken

I'll slot them in now...

[mortal timber]

[hardy fog]

May I see the Ethan set up you went with

[chilly flame]

Like my grid?

[cunning shore]

I believe yes

[mortal timber]

ethan gaming

[mental blade]

Let's see, like this?

[mortal timber]

everything looks good on the teams yup

probably would swap base hilda with ss red

just cuz you can go for some potions mpr shenanigans

[mental blade]

Thanks. I'll hold out for some more opinions just in case, before I go over the grids

[mortal timber]

is may 3/5?

[mental blade]

May is 1/5, unfortunately. The fire banner spat out three Morties and then I had to pity for May

So, uh, at least Morty is 3/5!

(Glad I waited for a multi feature banner, it would have sucked not to get a second Limited on the way to pity)

[mortal timber]

morty silver anni n will do wonders

[shy flower]

might be worth swapping Hilda with Red and Tina with Kiawe, though I'm less sure with May only being 1/5. I think it'd probably be enough for 180k at least

[mental blade]

Sure is a lotta heckin' sun.

[mortal timber]

silver being capable in that team to live two flannery syncs is unreal

at least with some chonky skill gears

[mental blade]

I might do that, then

Oh, I haven't been messing with skill gear

I do have full Fire-type gear tho

[mortal timber]

fair i think still you can do tons of points

most of them supps will love also guard passives if you are aiming for high strengths

example: ss morty with rock guard, he gets vigilance on grid and tons of heals passives at 3/5

he will be absolutely insane

still, omg omg chezei

[hardy fog]

Thanks much appreicated

[chilly flame]

Np

[shy flower]

[mortal timber]

how are you doing dear

[shy flower]

I am quite tired from moving, but glad to be able to push the High Score for a bit!

[mortal timber]

i know you gonna do fantastic

i am tired too ngl, but because of swimming LOL

but i am glad too i pushed by like 40k points today

[shy flower]

nice! You're killing it

[mortal timber]

gotta thank the cake on nc leaf, my luck and all the people helping and supporting me ❤️

[shy flower]

Here's hoping I can share a bit of that luck as I push higher

[mortal timber]

sharing mine to you too, you deserve the best

[shy flower]

[cyan tusk]

I’ll grab of your luck thx

[crude iron]

what score we predicting medal will be this time, based off the first few days? do we expect a big bump in point requirement for top 10k in the next like week and a half? not fully sure how high of a score im gonna need to push for if i want that medal done and over with

[sullen pier]

since Fire is pretty limited in terms of accessibility, i think the cap is lower than both Water and Electric

im expecting ~200 - 210k

[crude iron]

so theres a chance that even this will be enough for me to be medal, before i even change my blaine team and minmax my flannery team?

also im a bit curious, theoretically if i did candy SS Hilda, would it be more points overall prob to do Blaine with Vilda, nuke, or stick to emboar nuke there when i ex base hilda and keep my teams as is (just with Torchic tanking vs blaine, prob, since thats my last fire tank)

im assuming it might be the latter for potions for torchic, but wanting opinion

cause i could theoretically make vilda 3/5 for the nuke if it ends up being worthwhile, but im not sure which placement of those two will be more likely to get me results

[half orchid]

are those all of your fire types or do you have any others that you didn't use?

[crude iron]

this is my image before i got vilda

[half orchid]

hmm, i think if you want to candy ss hilda to 3/5 and ex her you could probably move silver to flannery and use hilda on the flint stage; i would probably put event blue alongside silver just so you have another dps [and it boosts nc blue's master passive]. the first few turns are rough because of sand but once you sync with silver youre good because the team is unkillable [and you can fish for flinches]

i think you can probably push around 50k-60k on flannery with that team, try around like 22k strength

and i would probably try out torchic on blaine over fennekin just to see how it goes, unless you feel like you need the confusion/master passive boost

[mental blade]

Y'all weren't lyin
That double Ho-oh teamcomp can trivialize

Got my "comfortable" 180k (...which is still well into the upper Master Ranks???), so thanks a lot everyone!

[shy flower]

congrats!

[mortal timber]

[crude iron]

yeah this HSE is funny where the f2p people who dont even have evelyn have like 3 tanks and like no really viable techs

so its gonna be pretty funny how different the requirement will be for medal in this one

[hollow prism]

I noticed you’re using 2 non fire types. If you’re willing to maneuver your teams a bit and you have enough PUs to EX Hilda Emboar you can get 50k on Chili with Hilda Kiawe Blaine, and save your SS May for Blaine

[crude iron]

right now im waiting for EXing hilda to try to use her nuke on blaine

cant really go higher till monday cause

just was using zerena to get a rough idea of rest of my scoring so far

[hollow prism]

Two Hilda EX nukes in sun completely deletes Chili at 300, and if you get enough Kiawe stat drops and make sure your HP stays high you can get a 50k score

All you have to roll for is minimal Flare Blitz and a single Def up on Blaine and it’s pretty easy

There’s very little RNG

[crude iron]

where does the def up on blaine come from

[hollow prism]

Maybe some potion mprs but not that many

His TM can roll Def Sp def Sp atk speed

[crude iron]

ah

[hollow prism]

If you get one def up you barely survive a 300 sync

[long oyster]

I have tried this entire afternoon not to get flare blitzed turn 1 and it hasnt gone well at all.
This is giving me Nessa EQ ptsd

[hollow prism]

Mine is 4* but i think Hilda will die as well if i go higher so 5* is pointless

[crude iron]

ill still see if i can get a good score on blaine first, i def dont wanna move my blaine off flint tbh cause itd be hard to get a 41k+ score there without. so will depend on my results without yet another big shuffle of team comps for if i bother with the retrain of like 3 teams just for that

[hollow prism]

Even if you do get Flare Blitzed it’s actually not that big of a deal as long as it’s pre sync

Kiawe takes it without endure

So you just potion with Hilda and act like nothing happened except missing a flare blitz of your own

[hollow prism]

I’m trying a SS May Tina Irida team on Flint rn

[crude iron]

i dont own tina, so thats not gonna help me

[hollow prism]

I’m going to EX Tina for support sync because even with good rng May is JUST short of killing after

Oop nvm

Roll her on Mix

[crude iron]

im not spending paid gems on that shit lmao

im saving my paid gems for NY selects

[hollow prism]

Ok fair enough but that banner is still crazy as shit

Just roll Gloria Alt 2

[long oyster]

I tried Leon Marley and Irida
Terrible idea.
Dont be like me kids.

[crude iron]

why would i gamble on a banner that has like one or two unowned favs

theres literally no reason for me to throw away my selects over it.

[hollow prism]

Do you already have a large portion of the exclusives

[crude iron]

dude ive literally been playing since anni 2.0

[long oyster]

That doesnt answer the question

[long oyster]

Are you or are you not Poce

[crude iron]

i have the ones i want

thats all i care about

[long oyster]

Fair enough

[crude iron]

im not a

so i am not touching the banner that is out of my budget

my only paid gem source is the like $4 orb bundle

shouldnt assume someones a whale when giving advice in the first place imo. the fact they were saying to roll a paid only banner gamble for an event is insulting to me.

[hollow prism]

How to troll in the poma community:

1. Mention the Mix banner
2. Leave
3. Profit

[crude iron]

*how to get blocked

1. mention mix banner as advice
2. other person says no
3. keep pressuring to spend on mix banner
   FTFY

[hollow prism]

I wasn’t pressuring you

Chill

[red solstice]

Pushed another 2k points. 152k now.

Hope i at least get 156k before the end

[hollow prism]

Do you have any exclusive fire types or are you working purely off F2P

[crude iron]

"wasn't pressuring you"
literally telling me to roll gloralt off of mix right after i said im not touching that bs banner

[red solstice]

New player. Limited roster.

[crude iron]

[red solstice]

Not f2p after I cleared 12.5k last week xD

[crude iron]

anyw im going back to playing ratchet and clank while my phone charges and stuff

[hollow prism]

That was a joke, if it wasn’t clear then fair enough, it’s the internet, but it’s a very common joke to say “Just get this it’s so easy” even though it’s unlikely to occur

[hollow prism]

Suggesting a 9 pull on a banner to get a 0.025% unit is not advice, and I don’t see how it could be seen as such tbh

[red solstice]

I also have an egg charizard, dont think it’ll be much help though.

[red solstice]

Just pull and be lucky, ezpz

[hollow prism]

Probably not

What we’re missing is units that can take a hit, and eggmons are TRASHHHHHH at that

[red solstice]

I’m getting calem lodge to 100 for that extra fire unit.

[hollow prism]

I’m not even using him tbh but you’re starving for units so

You need to find the best stage to get the most points on Hilda and the most points on SS Red

[red solstice]

Oh and I farmed coop for that fire gear

[hollow prism]

And then probably use one off type unit, the best striker for the type mid is weak to, on the other 3 stages

[hollow prism]

You can def get higher on Chili

Leaf should be someone else, you need that to be 3x

Blaine isn’t bad but i got 50k with only red and mine’s 1/5 so you need to be more aggressive and push for higher strengths probably

Also if you pull for SS Morty you can turn your Flannery score into 50k, 2/5 Morty and Silver is busted on her

[red solstice]

Trying but no luck so far xD

[hollow prism]

If you pity on it and have to choose, idk which one you take tbh

Once the fire HS is done it’s hard to say who you’ll use more

BRO WHO TF IS THIS

How many times are we going to do this on HS

[sturdy glen]

mfw we can’t report people on a semi-pvp game

[main pulsar]

@haughty haven do you know anyone who can help me do ncserena chilli

cuz i doing

and i wish pain

ive done it ONCE

and i reset

so i cri

[stark eagle]

Do we know stage sync BP?

[trail adder]

Why did Stat Leech not count towards the debuff bonus?

[shy flower]

Did you get them into negative stats? It only counts stats that are negative when the opponent dies iirc

[trail adder]

Now I don't remember

But I guess that's it, since they spammed TMs while asleep

[haughty haven]

Wow, at 790 str, with +5 SpD my team still survive just fine

[red solstice]

Lmao, Flint enduring effect let him survive until sync so he was able to tank for a bit xD

156k now woohoo

[oak fulcrum]

I need to move things around, this should not be in the top 2500 imo

[chilly flame]

Now do 1000

[haughty haven]

1st time join 400k club

[chilly flame]

Omg group photo

[hollow prism]

The only real chance I have of 400k at this point is Grass HS

I can get 300k this HS but i have like 5 units missing and also some units underinvested

[crude iron]

me spinning the searing shot turn 1 burn roulette just for an attempt at 410 str:

yea not enough dps for it, need flannery dead pre 2nd sync

390 str works. wonder if 400 would... prob not, 390 was so close already

46.8k is prob a good score for 2x flannery for now. 93 attacks, 36 debuffs, 297% hp, burn, mc/rival

almost all the params were basically capped aside from more debuffs, so im happy with that

would need fullmax Vilda prob to push much further or something like Silver freed from blaine prison, i imagine... unless a second dps would be better than sun which i doubt lol

like bit over +7k from my previous score on her

i doubt id be getting more than 2x scores that are viable outside of ncblue needed for offtype, but im more than willing to try some other team ideas for it later this week if anyone has any ideas that might free up ncblue with similar scores.

ignore the blaine team for now b/c itll be shuffled on monday to hopefully be ontyped; current lineups for reference

Strengths in order: +260, +250 this will change, +220 (tried pushing this one higher but couldnt manage it, flint syncing in this strat makes it unlikely to score well due to HP% or even killing him in first place)
+300, +390

[stray comet]

Do I keep rei for Kiawe?

[crude iron]

Depends, do you have any limited fire techs?

cause that stage seems to be either fire tech limited or bust for the most part

[stray comet]

I have Event Blue

Wait no he's striker

I have lodge Irida

I have Serena too but I used her on Flint

[stark eagle]

First run, good result with some 1/5 and 2/5 units as main dps

[crude iron]

Lodge irida might be worth a try but I’m not certain about her being the only dps in this

[hollow prism]

BOOM. 5 Exclusive units missing

We’re getting 300k for sure

And with no gloria which is a huge downside

[red solstice]

Only 500 tokens to go and can max and try pushing high score again.

[hardy fog]

Nice I'm just missing may and Tina. I'm just going for 300k this time as well

[cyan tusk]

Welcome!! And good job

[hollow prism]

I’M SO CLOSE TO TOP 100 I CAN TASTE IT

[crude iron]

anyone here have a Torchic grid for VS Blaine by any chance

or one supporting someone like base Hilda

[atomic hamlet]

What teams?

[crude iron]

or would this stage be hopeless

[arctic quest]

Have a read of the pins for each of the stage gimmicks & the grading list for all the fire-type units. Form some teams, then you can post them here and get some feedback

[crude iron]

this remaining box makes me think i might have to redraft for blaine to be ontyped.

even then idk if i can beat 300+ strength Zerena caked clear without ruining my other stuff or not yet.

ik my flannery teams basically set in stone unless i can get similar pts with Torchic (X to doubt lol im not confident in that things bulk)

[hollow prism]

[arctic quest]

If you scroll like a couple ranks down you should find me

[crude iron]

i think freeing ncblue from flannerys prison is my only hope to push far. ima mess around with that team having torchic...

[hollow prism]

What rank are you now

And also what was Master 100 in the Water event? Just so I have a good idea if what i’m doing is pointless lmao

[arctic quest]

117

[rocky harbor]

Now only flannery remains…

[hollow prism]

IT’S FINALLY OVER

I’m going to try and defend it but i don’t think it will last

I don’t think i can pass 320k

[arctic quest]

right on the dot too

congrats

[hollow prism]

Do we get a mention for reaching but not keeping Master 100 LMAO

If i spend my gems on getting an extra Morty i could probably get a lot more on my Flannery score but he’s 2/5, that’s such a waste

66k with Morty Silver Hilda feels so bad even though Hilda’s 2/5

[mortal timber]

Omg we back together

[haughty haven]

Actually I improved a bit so I just behind you now

800 Str Flannery

[hollow prism]

With Silver Morty N?

Because if you’re doing that team how tf are you surviving Sync on Silver

[haughty haven]

Nah he still survive just fine

Skill gear huge

My skill gear give 155 Hp and 45 SpD

[cyan tusk]

Which is why I can’t go past 720 btw it’s astonishing the difference this gears are making

[stray dust]

Isn't it more expected

Between the stats boost and passives like dr

[cyan tusk]

Yeah but 80 strenght is a big difference

My silver cannot survive 720 and has kinda similar gears

[stray dust]

Give it more time and it's gonna make even more LG solos happen

[cyan tusk]

And we’re taking same conditions +6 spdef -6 spatk on flannery

[haughty haven]

Mine survive 800 just fine

[cyan tusk]

Those are mine

[haughty haven]

Even at 790 with +5 SpD Silver still survive

[cyan tusk]

Even if I changed last one to get some spdef buff, I’ll give it another try

Btw @mortal timber this morning happened what was supposed to happen 2 months ago

#gacha-and-flex message

[stray dust]

Now I'm hoping Dena don't just randomly make a top 100 HS medal it's gonna be a bloodbath

[crude iron]

blaine on 1 hp:

[cyan tusk]

Nope but I really hope they start doing tiered rewards as the Gloria event back in the days

[mortal timber]

Who dares disturbing me while watch the epic saxophone guy

[cyan tusk]

Like first 1000/5000

[mortal timber]

Jk

Lemme see

[cyan tusk]

It’s me

[stray dust]

That's fine but don't lock crazy rewards behind those

Like a whole candy

[mortal timber]

LMAO CELESA

Ain't no way

[haughty haven]

[cyan tusk]

I’d love to get a whole candy actually since we are bloated with new units and roles, but I also think they should make broader tiers like first 6K ppl and not like top 100

[cyan tusk]

This means I’ll be getting V kiawe in January

[mortal timber]

[cyan tusk]

That’s my fault to keep pulling on that banner

[mortal timber]

[crude iron]

Blaine. Stop it.

[cyan tusk]

I should stop i already have red but it’s so tempting

[haughty haven]

Why you have so many good stuff from mix banner Bicio

I had 3 spotlight from that

[cyan tusk]

Honeslty? I think it’s karma bc I have had very bad luck whole September and October

I had to pity both Moltres and zapdos

Akari got me to almost pity, so it’s just karma going back and forth I suppose… I still haven’t got a single spotlight

But like 10 limiteds

[haughty haven]

[crude iron]

Been pushing everything I could and even 3/5d my vilda since wanted to use her nuke and move hilda to flannery. God this is hard to push compared to expectation

Support gate is being felt hard

[cyan tusk]

Also bc Blaine has +3 Eva

That’s why most of us went off typing supports against Blaine

[haughty haven]

Evasion, fire blast, burn, para

F him

[cyan tusk]

I’ll send my luck over to you once I’m done with Elaine

[crude iron]

I tried ontype support vs flannery and it made my overall score worse

Nc blue is stuck in flannerys hell cage

Is flannery useful anywhere

BRB ima look at the chart thing

Apparently vs flint and flannery… but idk why

Why is she A there

For ref my top set so far has been this

[cyan tusk]

I don’t see any other useful support there actually

[hollow prism]

Damn, the problem is I have to use 2/5 Hilda as replacement instead, and she just doesn’t do enough damage to make this worth it

So i have to settle for like 450 str which is 🤢

[crude iron]

I think tomorrow I’m gonna try just pushing flannery score by moving silver in there with og hilda and see if I can use vilda to push score in silvers place

It’s a shame I won’t be able to 5/5 vilda cause her 5/5 is rly good

[hollow prism]

Nice extra effect on the bandanna, i’m sure that will help you for flannery

[gusty pier]

If someone likes teambuilding, could they help me out trying to get to 180k with my units? These are my fire types, I probably have whatever eggmons if needed and I can post other relevant guys if needed

[haughty haven]

@onyx crystal

• Kiawe 770 Str note: NC Leaf has cake
• Blaine 670 Str note: NC Blue has cake but doesn't matter, try to burn mid
• Flint 460 Str note: Dodge Rng
• Chili 540 Str note: Pray no Flaze Blitz
• Flannery 800 Str note: Potion Mpr and Believe Mpr simulator

[sturdy glen]

i think that nc blue role ex still matters
because he has extra 60 hp

[hollow prism]

Wait really? I have Blue 1/5 SS Red, and Ethan on Blaine and i’m almost at 50k there’s no way that’s all you can do

That’s got to be at least 70k

[haughty haven]

No, F that stage

I almost win and miss 3 V-create in a row

[hollow prism]

That wasn’t even that hard of a stage, even with the evasion. Hilda’s damage would even out over the 3 targets overtime

[haughty haven]

No

At that str i just barely finish him before 2nd Sync

[hollow prism]

Oh god you were at 670

What was I at

I only got 450

Also i like how everyone thought i was crazy for suggesting Silver Morty on Flannery like 2 weeks before HS started and it’s your top score

[haughty haven]

Who said that ?

Nearly everyone think SS Morty and Silver is good for Flannery

[oak fulcrum]

A Kiawe clear with 1/5 Evelyn dang 👀

[cunning shore]

This skill gear makes sooooooo much difference with Silver. I have -20 sp.def 🥲🥲🥲

[red solstice]

Inching closer and closer!

[long oyster]

Is May against Chili only there for low sweep or do you guys sync with her

Mine is 1/5 but I dont mind going 3/5
I like blaziken

[forest ferry]

mostly low sweep spam but you can nuke with her if you don't have second sync nuke unit with her in the team

[long oyster]

My Hilda is EX

[forest ferry]

I think she'll still sync once for defense destroyer

[long oyster]

She'd sync 1st then kiawe then hilda nukes ?

Wait I meant Chili

Lemme fix that

But yeah she syncs for defense destroyer and propulsion
Kiawe for support sync then hilda goes bonkers

Am I missing smth

[forest ferry]

Think kiawe would still sync first....well the order doesn't matter I feel

As long as 3rd and above syncs are from Hilda

[long oyster]

I'll try

Thx !

[cyan tusk]

Just make sure you use may’s tm turn 1 so you skip a whole turn thx to head start 2

[sturdy matrix]

I still 1st sync with her just for mega

[signal needle]

U can definitely push for higher

[forest ferry]

Str:
580
350
380
540
170

@onyx crystal update when free, it's minor improvement on pts

Think I can hit 280k+ with bit more effort

[haughty haven]

I just saw Bicio stat and i have a question .Why only 5 more SpDef can make huge different in survive Flannery’s Sync

[cunning shore]

It's a nightmare, I can't survive 750 str 2nd sync with +6spdef buff

[haughty haven]

Wow, that 20 SpDef is huge wtf

Mine Silver survive Sync at 790 Str with +5 SpDef

[true sparrow]

I mean, you give silver +20 sp.def, that's 10% extra sp.def, while from +5 to +6 is only a 6% increase

[hollow aurora]

I can almost use that except for May, Tina and Irida since don’t have them.

[outer whale]

So question for the high score players going for top 100, Have any of you started to use nonfire supports/Strikers for some of these fights to get a higher score or not worth it?

so far I only did it on Blaine, but tbf, I genuinely had nothing to deal good damage. but wanted to see others experience

[forest ferry]

Top 10 comps still shove in NCblue

[outer whale]

interesting...

[forest ferry]

I think few of em did replace him somehow

But I still haven't seen any offtype dps being used in top 10 yet

You can check the pinned teams

Most of em run NCblue somewhere

oh there are some frox as well

[zealous elm]

A bit more optimized, but still don't feel like wasting candies to upgrade this, but at least managed to raise chili to 300 str

Flint was incredibly tight tho

Like literally 0 HP w/o Endurance

[forest ferry]

Drop 50 strength and do the run again with high HP

You'll make up lost str pts with HP

[zealous elm]

But I would lose pts with nº attacks anyways

[forest ferry]

Atks don't scale as much

Compared to HP

You have 2 50% HP units left means that's 3000 pts

[zealous elm]

Guess I could do that, but that was already 200 str, like these units are really weak

It feels wrong going under 200 str

[forest ferry]

Well if you don't want to deal with rng it's a fair point

You already in safe zone for medal

Anything more is just bonus

[zealous elm]

Also I could raise Flannery a bit more, got pot to spare and got literally triple flinched from Camerupt

[zealous elm]

I already got medal since Water tho

It's just for funsies

[forest ferry]

well if you want better improvement it's just EXing Hilda and redoing chili

wouldn't rly touch other stages before that

[signal needle]

Cringe flannery score

[forest ferry]

don't remind me

[zealous elm]

Been meaning to EX Hilda for a while, but too many new units and not enough mats

[forest ferry]

I am crying at my flannery score

[signal needle]

Incredible u pulled off tht flint team

[forest ferry]

I am waiting for someone else to do the same comp for Flannery

Then I can see what str to minmax

[zealous elm]

Yeah Stat Leech Acc came in clutch

And managed to dodge a more than lethal Flare Blitz like twice

[signal needle]

I wud swap Evelyn and torchic, and then swap sstred with a good tank and rely on Torchic synchro and irida dps

[severe basin]

im legit going insane this is the first highscore i struggle with

[tranquil blaze]

Any team suggestions? Just trying to get all the rewards

[forest ferry]

I don't have a good tank

My best is ssmina who I used to run and had worse score

SSTred.....I tried cerena but cerena never rly got through after mid dies

I did improve my Flannery run a bit more tho

Although this one already got into rockslide evasion zone

Doubt I can bump score anymore

[zealous elm]

Spread your "tanks" first, then put AnniN against Kiawe, Leon against Flint

Probably SSMorty against Flannery as well, Kiawe against Chili

[tranquil blaze]

[zealous elm]

Try this
Evelyn-NCLeaf-AnniN
Marley-SSHilda-SSRed
Torchic-Serena-Leon
Kiawe-Silver-Hilda
SSMorty-Flannery-VLucas

[tranquil blaze]

[desert shell]

This it the set that I came up with before reading the pins... Is it worth making entirely new teams

I also have plenty of resources to improve move level and potential if needed

[tranquil blaze]

farthest I’ve made against Blaine

[rigid steppe]

how are you supposed to do flint lol

every time he uses brave bird / fire blitz or whatever it just 2HKOs all my teammates

im trying to use OG leon for on-type hurricane damage but idk

[rough forum]

Reset for blaziken buff

Then pray for low sweep and fire punches as much as he can

[zealous elm]

Yeah Flint is very reset heavy, even lowering their attack they still can 2HKO if enough str

Brave bird is insta reset

[arctic quest]

This takes so incredibly long but yea

[outer latch]

Help me to achieve 180k point. Should 3/5 may or N

[arctic quest]

When he finally speeds All then the emboar goes for hammer arm

[zealous elm]

Before candying them, you'll probably going to need to get an off-type tank as well

[outer latch]

Ohk

[chilly flame]

@onyx crystal

Kiawe: 600
Blaine: 800
Flint: 360
Chili: 450
Flannery: 400

[maiden canopy]

Hmmmm, so is Blaine the only fight where you have to off-type?

[full lark]

If you’re just going for the 180k points for all rewards then I’d hold off on candying anyone unless you find that you absolutely require doing so

[arctic quest]

NC Serena's a great offtype candidate for Chili too

But if you're going for like really high scores then idk how far you can push it

[rigid steppe]

Got super lucky with hammer arm missing

And confusion

Finally

[chilly flame]

I wouldn’t say have to but if you have 3/5 Roxanne it just makes the fight much easier

[rigid steppe]

what does roxanne do specifically which helps out?

[chilly flame]

Her attack debuffs and defense buffs

[maiden canopy]

Well, I don't have so

[cyan tusk]

The fight that has no rules is usually the most restrictive bc the opponent hits harder

So that’s why you see offtype dps/nc blue usually over there

[chilly flame]

Plus she has a good nuke

[maiden canopy]

With my roster, I'm not sure who I can off-type

[rigid steppe]

does anni N and NC leaf do that?

[cyan tusk]

Super effective plus she’s able to stock debuffs and with her sync she flips the stat raises upside down so the annoying -3 eva disappears

[chilly flame]

Idk if N buffs defenses

[cyan tusk]

Also she has the striker ex role so her nuke really hits hard

[maiden canopy]

He only debuffs both offensive stats and Sp. Def.

[true sparrow]

evas is not even annoying for her since she buffs team acc by 2

[rigid steppe]

oh i thought thats what you mean nvm i misread

[tranquil blaze]

Any help w/ this?

[chilly flame]

This is what I was using for her

[rigid steppe]

lower difficulty

[tranquil blaze]

It's at 190....and I still can't win

[rigid steppe]

i would add a defense buffer then

unless your using MPR barricade buddies on arcanine

[zealous elm]

200 str should be feasible, I used the same team with 1/5 each limited and no EX Marley, just make sure to have Group Fire Guard, Terrify and Hit and Heal gridded for Marley

Spam V-Create till max Def, then Searing Shot and then pray you proc a burn before they die

[tranquil blaze]

Beat Blaine but now

[zealous elm]

Make sure Torchic has at least Toughen Up, and since you already have Leon for burns, I would go for Emergency Barrier, Tighten Up and Fast Track

Flint will require some early resets if they throw Flare Blitz/Brave Bird/Hammer Arm too early, or too many of those

Bedazzle on Serena can also help if lucky enough

[cyan tusk]

If blaziken doesn’t use x speed all is instant reset lol

[zealous elm]

You can also force it if you use hypnosis early on, then wait for the resilence to wear off to apply burns

[tranquil blaze]

[zealous elm]

How is torchic the last one that died?

[tranquil blaze]

I don't even know

[hollow prism]

Do we know for sure what the next HS event is

[zealous elm]

Have Bedazzle on Serena, she's not doing that much damage in this stage anyways since you can't perma sleep them

[tranquil blaze]

She has it

[zealous elm]

Why is their accuracy not lowered then?

[tranquil blaze]

🤷‍♂️

[cunning shore]

For some reason

Chandlure starts with pinpoint 1

You need to get lucky with stat leech

Wait

That's flint stage

Same thing

Or not
I am confused
Forget i said anything
I been overworked today

[hollow prism]

Who tf has a chandelure in this event

[zealous elm]

No, flint definitely doesn't have Pinpoint, nor their sides

So they should have lowered accuracy, huh

[zealous elm]

Kiawe side

[arctic quest]

how could you forget the chandelure with hyper beam

[hollow prism]

Oh Kiawe

Leaf was the first clear I did, and I only got 82k and don’t know if i’m getting cake before end of event so i kept it

I’ll have to deal with it eventually if i have any hope of getting back into top 100

If i get cake on leaf i think i’m ending with 330k

[crude iron]

Thoughts on this clear?

Decided I’d move silver here cause I don’t have enough tanks to go around elsewhere without it just being awkward

[cunning shore]

No AOE strikers?

[crude iron]

Me doubting ethan would be better, and having plans to use lcalem with vilda:

Took a lot of splitting focus at arbitrary points of the fight to set up hp properly and clear before enemy second sync fucks over hp%

[hollow prism]

That Anni N and Silver needs Morty so desperately lmao

[crude iron]

Second sync would oneshot either dps if they weren’t full hp and it was near impossible to get back to full hp after that sync so had to kill flannery by that timer

[hollow prism]

I’m not even sure where you use N there

[crude iron]

Anni n goes to kiawes anti striker zone

Cause -spdef wanted there

[hollow prism]

Fair, also no leaf so Kiawe team is up in the air

[crude iron]

Iirc my kiawe team is Serena N and Evelyn

[hollow prism]

I mean that’s basically the same thing

[crude iron]

Flint and chili could easily be coinflipped with eachother I imagine nukewise between mayziken and vilda.

[hollow prism]

Flint’s the hardest fight on here imo

Fighting him is the worst

The sides just do too much damage

[crude iron]

How high of a score y’all think I should aim with Zygarde

[rigid steppe]

Let’s go
400
300
300
400
300

[crude iron]

This tells me I can go higher

[tranquil blaze]

RAAAAAAH so close…..

[crude iron]

Left wasn’t even burned and died to sync

This also means I can use lodge calem vs flannery. Is he good there?

Still suspect the hilda silver clear is stronger there tho

Cause of potions

[stray comet]

Man
I'm starting to wonder if I should reset Flint too

i'd basically be starting all over

[crude iron]

I’ve started over like five times lmao

Just to squeeze a few thousand

[stray comet]

[crude iron]

[stray comet]

I'm a bit hesitant though because Flint was a pain and Serena was actually useful in presyncing

[tranquil blaze]

Should I wait to use dynamax after sync or before sync w/ leon against flint?

[stray comet]

I did after sync

[crude iron]

Wait why’d he queue before my sync?

That’s 300 strength BTW

[stray comet]

I'm not 100% sure how I can improve upon this

literally tempted to get Evelyn to 3/5

[rigid steppe]

i mean if you want to get her to 3/5 just for this thats not too smart

[stray comet]

yeah ik but apparently she's better here at 3/5

[rigid steppe]

if i were you i would redo your kiawe but with only fire types

[onyx crystal]

Is there a particular reason you used Rei on Kiawe's stage instead of Flannery's?

[rigid steppe]

you can still use flannery for kiawe - would work well with blaine

@stray comet

[stray comet]

...I don't know to be honest. I assumed Silver would go to Flannery so I thought I'd be covered for that team.

[onyx crystal]

Well your flannery stage needs a good support, so unless we can shift things around. Would need to know your other tanks.

[stray comet]

I can show my full roster

[true sparrow]

Marley is being wasted, so there's at least one fire support not being well used

[stray comet]

really?

[onyx crystal]

Well you have Zapdos on the same stage whose a much better tank.

You should've just used Flint or Ethan instead there.

[stray comet]

Which stage?

On Blaine?

But yeah I agree Zapdos would've been better suited for Flannery

It's just that my Silver is physical and I wasn't sure if I wanted to replace WW3 with Dauntless

[true sparrow]

I would move Marley to Chili stage and Kiawe to Flannery stage

Silver doesn't need offensive supp unless you don't have him with power boost

[crude iron]

https://tenor.com/view/3000years-its-been-a-long-time-gif-13250168

[stray comet]

Oh okay! I do indeed have him PB'd

[crude iron]

Took way too long to quad queue that

Holy shit

[stray comet]

GOOD JOB

[true sparrow]

And fill Blaine with any fire unit you still have available

Hilda only needs speed to build atk so Marley works for her

And Hilda can self buff crit after expansion

[crude iron]

man this has been a long push. Hardest I’ve tried in this game so far on any event

[stray comet]

Hmm alright!
So keep Zapdos on Blaine?

[crude iron]

im pretty sure these were my only leftovers

[stray comet]

I had the exact same leftovers

[crude iron]

id have used LCalem but there wasnt anyone left to replace thatd make him worth it tbh

[true sparrow]

Well would be nice if you could get higher points vs Blaine since you're using a great supp there

[stray comet]

true

[true sparrow]

Maybe bring Flannery and try to nuke with her

Since k9 blue is not doing that

[stray comet]

oh Flannery could nuke?
(I also have Lodge Calem fwiw)

[true sparrow]

Lodge Calem is pretty horrible

[stray comet]

ah

[crude iron]

yeah hes pretty bad, mainly a burn bot when hes offtype

[true sparrow]

Well he's not good at burning

[stray comet]

Man I wish I had better luck with the Poke Fair Scout so I could get SS Morty, or even May and Blaziken

[crude iron]

kinda wish i had morty to push further more easily, but it is what it is, im not ruining my next 2-3 months just to grab him

[stray comet]

Fair enough

[crude iron]

already grabbed much more than i planned this month

[stray comet]

I only have 2k gems right now 🫠

[crude iron]

ive got like 50k and change or something around there, excluding paid

and most likly going -36k on pomaday

[stray comet]

daaaamn

[crude iron]

cerenas a fav that had came out during a hiatus so im 100% grabbing

[stray comet]

Nice!

I've wanted SS Morty for a while so at least it's not like I'm wasting gems just for an event

But RNGesus hates me

[crude iron]

yall think 231k might be safe for master medal btw? or will i prob need to push further to be safe?

[rigid steppe]

that seems safe

[crude iron]

it took like 27k and 2 + candies each to solidify my fire roster enough to push this hard

no regrets since vilda and mayziken are fun to use

and both will help a ton with gauntlets

[rigid steppe]

the only thing i did specifically for this event was EX og Hilda and finally 3/5 SS Morty since he was 2/5 prior

[stray comet]

I EX'd Leon for this event

[crude iron]

i was gonna ex og hilda, but i found a use that didnt need me to ex her

[stray comet]

nice!

[rigid steppe]

i used her as my primary striker for blaine

[crude iron]

specifically in my flannery team, her potions + flare blitz were enough to help push 420 str there

[stray comet]

I'm hoping I can get SS Morty before the event ends

[rigid steppe]

this was my run

[stray comet]

Or hell, I will take Mayziken too

[crude iron]

lemme grab all my strength numbers and repost with my image for ya'll incase anyone looking to copy any of my runs

Kiawe +260, 43 attacks, 12 debuffs, 211% HP (No burn, can be prob like 51k or so score with slight modifications to strat I imagine, Blue Flare grid)
Blaine +300, 39 attacks, 9 debuffs, 119% HP
Flint +300, 23 attacks, 0 debuffs, 205% HP
Chili +300, 29 attacks, 24 debuffs, 137% HP
Flannery +420, 86 attacks, 36 debuffs, 283% HP

all of them fill MC/Rival even though i wasn't even thinking about that condition when building the teams

[rigid steppe]

same

also a lot of main characters have fire starters

[crude iron]

a lot of good units in general end up in those so its kinda a mindless theme to even consider, thankfully. so one less worry about minmaxing

i will warn anyone copying my teams that the Flannery clear will probably drive you insane on that high of strength, with how much target changing and sync changing it basically required, might be easier than it felt but it definitely was the most handholdy in terms of micromanaging everyones actions

ofc the blaine team could have more debuffs with the right rng, blue's swift debuffs is so rng heavy tho that i didnt bother resetting for much

esp with how slowly the debuff count pts ramp up

chili also could go higher in strength if youre more patient than me, for now im gonna sit back and see how things look in about a week prob to see if i need to stress any further for medal

[true sparrow]

I improved my easier clears, now I got rng fest of Chili and Flint left

[crude iron]

oh that reminds me lemme post the skillgear i used too

these two were the main ones, the bracelet was the main thing i cared about for this event

since lotta fire units are physical

[tranquil blaze]

i am losing it over flint AAAAAAAAA

[crude iron]

Torchic is frail especially at four stars

That chicken can die to a stray breeze of wind at times

[tranquil blaze]

Yet their somehow the last one standing usually against flint

UGHHHHHHHHHH

[rough forum]

You running bulk tiles and emergency barrier right

[tranquil blaze]

Ye

[rough forum]

Gotta get a good barrier proc timing then

[tranquil blaze]

How???

[cunning shore]

Pls arceus give me the patience needed

[grand perch]

Dang you used both GloriAlt 2 and Leon in the same battle?

[cunning shore]

Leon gives some good passive buffs to Gloria

[shy flower]

Plus they both do super effective damage to Flint. It's a good combo

[cunning shore]

@onyx crystal update of the day/night

Kiawe 920 (Leaf Caked)
Blaine 640 (Blue Caked, doesn't matter)
Flint 500
Chilli 500
Flannery 750

[tranquil blaze]

Why is chilli basically one shotting my team WTF

[cunning shore]

Flare blitz = restart the battle

That's why

[tranquil blaze]

It’s not even just flare blitz, disarming voice is doing a crap ton as well

[cunning shore]

What str?

Is Hilda just extra potion in this setup?

[tranquil blaze]

🤷‍♂️ it was a team suggested to me so but str is 190

I was suggested these teams a couple hours ago so that’s what I’m working with
Evelyn-NCLeaf-AnniN
Marley-SSHilda-SSRed
Torchic-Serena-Leon
Kiawe-Silver-Hilda
SSMorty-Flannery-VLucas

[cunning shore]

Hmm

You aiming for 180k or higher?

[tranquil blaze]

Just tryna get all rewards so 180k

[cunning shore]

You can get 150k in 2 stages combined

Then scrap for the remaining 30k

[tranquil blaze]

I mean this is what I’ve got so far so—

Had to turn down flint to 150 just to beat him

[cunning shore]

Kiawe could be higher and you can spare Anni N for Flannery

[tranquil blaze]

I think kiawe was 299? Can’t really do 300 str, tbh honestly the fire high score is a struggle n it feels like I’m just scraping by wins

[cunning shore]

What move level is NCLeaf?

[haughty haven]

Nice, my team can survive at 820 str

[cunning shore]

Hax

[haughty haven]

Now i just need a run with a lot of potion

[tranquil blaze]

1/5

[cunning shore]

Ahh

[cunning shore]

Is flannery your only option for Flannery?

[cunning shore]

I can't believe they told you to use flannery over Ethan

Ethan so underrated

[ornate turret]

7 limited is enough for 180k if not more, N and Leaf can carry the 1st and last stage, easily 60k+ each, the other 3 just need 30-40k

[cunning shore]

Yeah, they're both 1/5 though so probably stops at 60k
Well leaf stops there because no mpr
N can go higher thanks to SSMorty

[tranquil blaze]

Idk from the chart that’s pinned he doesn’t look to good but 🤷‍♂️ I’m just trying to get rewards no need for master rank

[cunning shore]

Ethan is great especially under the sun

Definitely has more output than Flannery in a stage where you can't sync nuke

Healing sun + charging sun too

Helps getting healed more with Morty

People be sleepin on him because he needs HP to function properly

[tranquil blaze]

That’s great, doesn’t help my current problem w/ chilli tho— should i just set chilli to 150 n try a higher str against flannery?

[cunning shore]

Yes

[atomic rain]

half the problem is that his dps gets ganked if he gets sneezed on the other half is a horrible attack stat with not enough multipliers to compensate like kris does

[cunning shore]

With 3/5 ssmorty on your team you can definitely tank 600 str even, you probably want Ethan or Flareon to have Mind games 2 or anything similar though

[cunning shore]

Understandable, but he has so much more usage in general, many ways to get his health back too

[atomic rain]

yes his expansion did help with that a lot

recuperation 2 and initial damage guard

[tranquil blaze]

Why is chilli so hard

[tranquil blaze]

Got tired n threw SST red at chilli but now flannery is a problem

WHY CANT THESE BE EASY

Oh thank GOD

[hollow prism]

Does Serena EX even matter on Kiawe

And if so what does it change

Because i might cake Leaf and push for really high on that stage, i’m going to be so close to top 100

Oh whoops wrong one

I’m at 304k rn and my leaf is 82k

[rocky harbor]

What skill does silver have?

[hollow prism]

Uhhhh defense Crush 2

[rocky harbor]

Man i wish i had ss morty

[hollow prism]

Probably irrlevant because Hilda also has dc2

[rocky harbor]

All i have for supports are evelyn and torchic 😭

[hollow prism]

If you don’t have another good unit in middle he’s really meh

You need another exclusive

All of the gen pools die brutally above 300

Most people use Anni N but i have to improvise

[rocky harbor]

Im a little over halfway to a multi

And i cant recreate that kiawe battle cause my leaf is 2/5 😭

[hollow prism]

The only way I can even remotely save 100 is by pulling for FKING PIERS to get support coins because i think i’m 2 short

And then cake on Leaf for +~20k

[rocky harbor]

Yeah cake on leaf would go a long way

[hollow prism]

Then small improvements and skill gear grinding to get a 330-335k

But is that top 100?

I really don’t know

[rocky harbor]

Man if i get morty out of this multi i’ll candy him as well idc

[hollow prism]

I could just wait for Grass instead, my grass is more stacked than Fire and the units i’m missing are weaker

Missing SC Rosa and SC Sonia is much more manageable than missing N and Gloria alt 2

[rocky harbor]

Grass is prob next

[hollow prism]

And the banner will have units im missing

I have Adaman, Lyra, Acerola, and Red which are the hard units to get

[rocky harbor]

Wait does your evelyn have vigilance?

[crude iron]

i just realized if grass is next...

...dear arceus DAWN PLEASE SHOW YOURSELF

[hollow prism]

Yeah like i might just give up here and start EXing my grass units

[crude iron]

my dawn is only 1/5

and ive been playing since 2nd anni

send help

[rocky harbor]

Is fuecoco ethan and evelyn better for flannery or silver instead of ethan

[crude iron]

ethan?

[rocky harbor]

Well

Yeah its between him and silver

[shy flower]

Silver is definitely better, but it might even be better to run Ethan and Silver together with Evelyn

[rocky harbor]

Yeah but

uh

Heres the thing

weather

[shy flower]

You'll get sun on Silver's sync

[crude iron]

youre not nuking either way, and you can live sand for three turns

[rocky harbor]

So i just have to get lucky

[crude iron]

(if you have ncblue 3/5 available tbh might be better than evelyn, not 100% sure)

[rocky harbor]

i only have him 1/5

[crude iron]

rip

[rocky harbor]

And i used him alresdy

[hollow prism]

This roster is bordering 400k if the double feature are both unlockable and the parameters are nice

[shy flower]

SS Kris

[rocky harbor]

but i might reset a few battles later if it looks like i wont get medal

[shy flower]

Rosa only 2/5 smh gotta candy her

[hollow prism]

Shut
