Mix Red + SS Lyra flashback
#High Score
neon prawn
I am hoping Ash can tell me how he did his 110k Leon
I have the units and I can get the move levels for it
long oyster
What units did he use
neon prawn
ingo ciris and nate
long oyster
That looks like a presync flinch run + snarl to tank surf
I hope that CNate nuke kills before Eternabeam tho cuz huh 
coarse knot
What passives do the enemies have? Are we missing the infographic for this high score?

Thank you
long oyster
Soften up on Zerena makes low str Zinnia a lot more bearable
night sleet
I sync just rika. But some sync nita then rika. But then you need alot mini pots/miss from n . I pref finish him faster.
static oar
I sync just rika. But some sync nita then rika. But then you need alot mini pots...
Thanks very much!
That helps
night sleet
He? Where is lodge lance
long oyster
I am never fighting Zinnia again.
night sleet
Zinnia is opš
long oyster
Purest luck I've ever had in a run
Tm mpr on Cynthia to max spdef so everyone can tank sync at full health
A lot of sandstorm mpr
Heat Wave and Brutal Swing got evaded a lot everybody had enough HP for sync
Zinnia missed DA
And all that is in 350 str, I am not changing anything anymore 
dull jetty
testing testing
never did one of these
I have 4 ground types total, what am I in for?
dull jetty
11
neon prawn
send a pic of your ground and dragon units
neon prawn
can you cake her
dull jetty
and hahahahaha
dull jetty
im like....100 bp coins away from a super bp voucher
but have been told that it would be wiser to invest elsewhere
dull jetty
no rally cale vouchers left?
no
neon prawn
but have been told that it would be wiser to invest elsewhere
if you can't 3/5 then getting another unit is better yes
dull jetty
no
cunning shore
He? Where is lodge lance
I need to interact after reset 
What team can he even help for me??
dull jetty
so from what I can gather
you need to fight with ground or dragon types
the more the merrier
fighting without the types gain you no points
so to max out on points, all units across 5 matches should be either ground or dragon
in addition, certain battles have special rules one must adhere to
night sleet
I need to interact after reset <:SophoKEK:681916549812060200>
What team can he...
Team wat have sup whit def but no heal . For more pots like arc lance arc cynthia
Some one busted
dull jetty
okay, first problem found
out of all the units i have, I only have 2 in the support class
meaning in 3 fights I wont have a dedicated tank
that sounds a bit dire ^^;
night sleet
We get 1000 more gems go on pokemon masters ex twitter/x and tweet:)
mortal timber
Yet no tech candy iirc so gotta still wait but can slightly improve ig
Not much free time to so will see what can happen
cunning shore
So lodge lance is 99/100 for me
Lol what kind of teasing is this
night sleet
Haha poor jo
spark thistle
Whatās the secret for this stage? Cynthia and Bertha always died after one sync move from Maxie.
rough forum
You should make bertha tank
Also you should probably show what STR are you trying for
And tbh with that team I'd think you should be able to kill stage before sync in most cases
night sleet
You need use bertha tmp for def
Sand need be on
Need have fire guard
Plus ingo low accu pots
And cynthia strike hard
spark thistle
Need have fire guard
Even Cynthia?
night sleet
No bertha
glossy ravine
don't use cynthia's sandstorm until after Maxie syncs
that's a mistake I see so many people make
like why are you making Maxie's sync 50% stronger lol
night sleet
Cynthia need have hear custom cookie
Sand blast 4
Ingo can be fire guard too
Since hard tell better
glossy ravine
I'm running a 1/5 EX Arc Cynthia without R and I can still do 1k, lawl
118k points
night sleet
glossy ravine
can get higher with pot luck
spark thistle
like why are you making Maxie's sync 50% stronger lol
Ah, Thatās why I was eliminated. The sand is on
night sleet
Easy 1000 str
glossy ravine
Ah, Thatās why I was eliminated. The sand is on<:RileyHaha:612408184669470730>
Cynthia's sand can't be up, Bertha/Ingo sand can be
fwiw
outer whale
HSE requires type guards from 350 str onwards
spark thistle
Just watch my run
Thatās what I need. Thanks for much 
night sleet
Maybe you have wrong grids skills and play
It was my 2 try i tank ingo befor but you can tank bertha
But for you better tank ingo
Will be more easy to follow it
Since he have 30% more bulk on sand
To tank sync need 3-4 def from bertha and 3-4 drop attack from bertha too
night sleet
Cynthia is op
hardy thorn
1000 STR at 1/5, god damn
storm vector
mmm 3/5 ingo and 5/5 bertha looking real nice
without anyone to tank no way she lives that long
outer whale
That's why the goal is to not get hit in the first place
Shifting sand + mud slap acc drops
night sleet
Cynthia normal can work too but 450-600 str
hardy thorn
old Chomp cannot replace new Chomp
I used both chomps together + Bertha for a str ~800+ Maxie clear
tiny ore
staggering is really really good
when it does proc at the right time ofc
kinda useless before Ns first sync tho
neon prawn
you got as much as me on N without arc cyn ...
tiny ore
lmao i aint rolling her thats for sure
night sleet
On no need arc cynthia
tiny ore
requires mini pot mpr and some staggering procs
night sleet
Can be courtney v gio roxane
long oyster
You should make bertha tank
Why Bertha when Ingo has more defense
long oyster
Does that matter at -6 acc ?
Fire Blast would already be capped at 50 wouldnt it
Oh
Nah I get it
Mb
main pulsar
I missed like 3 quads
But arc Cynthia is just built different
How does dabbo do zinnia with komo brendan and lucas
She crunches the crap out of me
rough forum
Why Bertha when Ingo has more defense
+6 def vs +3 and shifting sand for early dodges
long oyster
+4
Ingo has a +1 def spdef entry node
And another node that can boost during sandstorm
But I can see the shifting Sand argument for evasion
I kinda dislike it tho
knotty dew
Ayyy
long oyster
You need Bertha mpr anyways or else your dps dies to sync
And Ingo not only has more defenses but they get boosted by 30% during storm
knotty dew
Maxie was probably the near god rng of having everyone survive near full health
N wasn't too far off, he got a wild charge to hit post sync
knotty dew
Yeah it's doing a lot of work
Especially when mpr2 feels like chaining š
Anni raihan with support cake after brendan with sprint cake enough to get SS Cynthia to nuke range
Also running triple head start
rough forum
And Ingo not only has more defenses but they get boosted by 30% during storm
Sand castle 2:
night sleet
No
graceful pike
has to be tech itself yeah?
oak fulcrum
you have but has that Lance of yours?
outer whale
925 str.
1000 str is possible but REQUIRES WAY TOO MUCH EVASION HAX and NO MOVES from sides
knotty dew
Can you even live a 1000 str sync with fallxanne?
outer whale
Yes
knotty dew
Wow
outer whale
I had her at 28% hp
knotty dew
Hmm
dull jetty
back again
first time
dipping my toes on the difficulty, any reccomended score goals per battle?
knotty dew
You wanna get all the rewards at least so 200k total
dull jetty
ahhh so this is the mode where good gears come in handy
knotty dew
Yeah that 8% is doing a lot lmao
knotty dew
ahhh so this is the mode where good gears come in handy
Only if you're sweating lol
True 
dull jetty
are the special feather gears useful?
knotty dew
Was gonna say she was usually not that far away from death for me
outer whale
I think the most anoying part is haxorus doing any move
knotty dew
Yeah that rarely happens
knotty dew
If top 200 is on the table tomorrow I might swing at the gears
I have hoenn locked in a few
outer whale
I can still improve lance, but if i get Arc cynthia, that's an easy 50k from my Maxie battle
I still need to figure out how to improve my Nita score tho
dull jetty
question about arc suits
you know how N severely reduces stats of strike pairs?
does that effect EX Cynthia?
rough forum
No
dull jetty
nice
oak fulcrum
yeah everything that cares about a role only cares about the base role aka the types of candy they can take
outer whale
nice
Fall roxanne has the same role ex. She's able to take care of that battle just fine
dull jetty
unless its rally, in which case just simply cake more forhead
oak fulcrum
rally cares about roles of pairs, which is a different distinction
dull jetty
Fall roxanne has the same role ex. She's able to take care of that battle just f...
i mean thats cool but i dont have her lol
oak fulcrum
the arc suits are all very clearly advertised as multi sync pairs with [their EXR] role
outer whale
i mean thats cool but i dont have her lol
I just mean it's the same example to show you that the EX Role being strike doesn't matter to the rule parameter.
dull jetty
got it
oak fulcrum
if the wording was āfive stats of all sync pairs with the strike role significantly reducedā then EXR Arc Cynthia does now meet that criteria
but then thereās more ambiguity and you would have to clarify that yes, strike sync pairs have the strike role
cyan tusk
Itās always the base role, never the ex
long oyster
After Nita uses special shield, is her right sidemon hard coded to use x sp.def all ?
rain sierra
What's the deadline for HSE? One more week?
oak fulcrum
yep
(this is a lethartist reply, sorry atrax I genuinely do not know because I've done Nita's battle a grand total of once)
long oyster
(That's fine, I found out that I've been unlucky for 30 minutes anyway 
)
oak fulcrum
see now I can't be unlucky if I just never double back for difficult clears
long oyster
I'm trying for top 100 and I dropped to 91 in 24 hours
bold pond
Maxie - Arc Cynthia, Lodge Rika, Ingo
Nita - Fall Roxane, Maxie, Nita
Zinnia - SS Serena, Lucas, NC Rosa
SS Leon - Arc Lance, NC Nate, Lodge Cynthia
N - Courtney, Bertha, Rika
This is the team's I plan to use, what grids are best? Please ping me
Here's the move levels
bold pond
candy ur arc cynthia
Is that necessary to hit 200k?
oak fulcrum
1/5 should be plenty fine, there are other move levels that concern me a lot more
but even then you have arc cynthia + arc lance + invested zerena
neon prawn
how many yellow candies do we have left till hse ends?
long oyster
Urgh
900 str Nita is too tanky to rely solely on 3/5 Foxanne + Flinch Ciris
neon prawn
I wanna see if I can get arc cyn to 3/5
long oyster
Devastation and Pecking Order scale the same right
neon prawn
yes
long oyster
bold pond
If only 200k 1/5 arcs can do it just fine
What about grids?
Is there any grids I should use for my characters?
rain sierra
After Nita uses special shield, is her right sidemon hard coded to use x sp.def ...
I haven't started yet, but generally in HSE, each pair has one-time TM move to spend. Once they used that they will only use moves
main pulsar
Is there any grids I should use for my characters?
Just normal ones?
Like if ur not going that high you donāt need that much specialization
bold pond
Just normal ones?
Okay do I need to adjust any teams or will that be fine?
main pulsar
Should be fine yeah
bold pond
I'm guessing the ones I have Serena and the arc pairs can get me the most?
lean cove
Okay, I'm just now starting this. Any good teams to copy?
tall citrus
Pinned messages have a few teams
#1128052735967764621 message
lean cove
Oh wait, nearly all of these have multiple units I don't own
I guess I'll just study the grading sheet
tall citrus
What score are you aiming for?
lean cove
All the rewards
So the first one was fairly straightforward and I'm okay with that score
The second one has me stumped. Damage output is bad. Damage received is worse. I have to do better than the worst possible HP remaining score
bold pond
So using just 180 strength for all except zinnia, which was 150 it was stupidly easy.
Is it worth getting the tickets and feathers?
oak fulcrum
as much as youāre willing to put the effort in, it is free resources
bold pond
Will the higher strength change my score much?
oak fulcrum
Going 180 to 400 would add just over 20k points, so it adds up quickly assuming a 3x multiplier
bold pond
Oh wow that's a big jump
oak fulcrum
Itās 8200 to 1500, so 6800 x3 =20,400
bold pond
I'll definitely be getting a few more tickets. I have had to ex so many pairs for rally and damage challenge lately
Thank you
lean cove
I've had to do 100-150 strength for these. They're really hard
lean cove
Help me at least get into top 10k
spark thistle
@cyan tusk Do you mind sharing your grids of your team against Leon?
cyan tusk
<@352394057236086784> Do you mind sharing your grids of your team against Leon?
Sure gimme a sec
Brendan is the potion bot one
My Brendan is 4/5 so thatās it
Also bt Leon has no cake
tall citrus
Help me at least get into top 10k
- Ingo on SS Leon (Use Hapu or any ground support on Maxie; tank with Bertha)
- Rika on N
- AS Lance on SS Leon
- Zerena on Zinnia
Just an idea for team building, Iām missing almost all the strong ground/dragon pairs ā
knotty dew
Fallxanne on Nita?
knotty dew
man, so I gotta redo the whole thing basically
What other pairs you got?
lean cove
These
The whole thing would need to be redone I guess. Arc Lance could probably push my Leon score much higher. But moving my Serena to Zinnia could help me get a better score there since it was one of my worst, at the cost of one of my best scores so...
knotty dew
Probably want to get Rika on N with Courtney
lean cove
Also, I'm not touching anything higher than 250
knotty dew
Probably Rika on N to give fallxanne zone I guess?
knotty dew
I'm guessing ingo doesn't help arc Cynthia as much
knotty dew
Normal Cynthia needs his buffs
cunning shore
What normal Cynthia 
knotty dew
Some of us don't have the arc pairs š
cunning shore
I mean I would have used her had there been less restrictions on physical/strikers
Because I would have used Foxxane elsewhere
I think I can still do a few swaps
Nita team > Leon Team > N Team > Nita
Worth a try 
knotty dew
Help me at least get into top 10k
Your Maxie score could go quite a bit higher with that team. Have Bertha tank and grid shifting sand. Ingo buffs and attacks Maxie to debuff acc. Should be a lot in it without much resetting for rng misses (and needing right to not use heat wave š)
Would Cyrus help on Nita?
lean cove
Your Maxie score could go quite a bit higher with that team. Have Bertha tank an...
Sync with Bertha? Because 2/5 normal Cyntha sync and overall damage output is very unimpressive
knotty dew
Ingo first for support buff. Probably still worth with Cynthia even with sand blaster only
Mega has a lot more attack
cunning shore
Og Cynthia only wants Mega evolution to boost her damage
If you're gonna nuke
Use bertha prob
lean cove
For any of these, is it worth tanking the HP remaining and time score to earn the points elsewhere?
knotty dew
Mine was 5/5 so I can't compare really
cunning shore
Forget time
cunning shore
HP you can try for MPRs on potions
It matters if you can full hp a stage
But you won't be able to do time no matter how hard you try
knotty dew
I put soothing sand on Cynthia, you can still take that lot
cunning shore
So just forget it
knotty dew
Ingo can top up Bertha and Cynthia post sync
He recovers his own hp pretty well under sand
lean cove
hmm, grids?
knotty dew
Also put the fire resist lucky skill on bertha
They only use fire skills
Put adrenaline 1 on ingo
Helps me not have to quad queue
Rank 220 this morning
lean cove
I hope to even be 10000 ranks behind you
knotty dew
I hope to be top 500 š
Without either arc Cynthia, arc lance or zerena think I'm doing well though
thorny grove
Hey what grids and strat did you do for the Maxie fight? I thought 3/5 Arc Cynth was needed for a score like that.
glossy ravine
It's not, no
thorny grove
Was that a hard clear or not really?
glossy ravine
It is extremely simple
the trick is to fish for at least 1 MPR on Bertha first
and only use sandstorm on Cynthia after maxie syncs, which compensates quad queue
have Cynthia sync the left Camerupt that's not ground weak so you can kill it faster to avoid damage
and just sync twice with Bertha in zone and Groudon just dies
with EQ chip from Cynthia
it doesn't take rocket science
thorny grove
have Cynthia sync the left Camerupt that's not ground weak so you can kill it fa...
Oh I have EXR on Cynthia so do I need to worry about targeting?
glossy ravine
the main variance of this clear is how many potions you get
no, you don't
it becomes a bit faster
but idt investment on Cynthia changes the point of the clear beyond more time
thorny grove
Ok cool. Thanks for the tip and grids that just saved me 2 candies
glossy ravine
it's Ingo's potion MPR and your smart timing
of cynthia's regen and bertha's regen
that gives you the points
thorny grove
Gotcha
glossy ravine
also, dodging Fire Blast helps
but it's not necessary
but it will take 90% of your healt
thorny grove
Welp Bertha. Time to finally get your EX
glossy ravine
after a sync
but he comfortably eats everything else
my highest point clear took 3 fire blasts in a row at -3 accuracy, but I got away with it because I got consecutive pot MPRs
lol
thorny grove
So a sync plus fire blast is 90% on Ingo?
glossy ravine
fire blast alone is 90%
Ingo doens't take half from the sync
but fire blast is the only move that really scares him
while accuracy drops mean he can miss it and dodge
fire punch etc doesn't really tickle him
thorny grove
Oh woof. Ok who uses that? Left right or mid?
glossy ravine
maxie, mid
thorny grove
Ok thanks
Do you sync with Ingo for support or just Cynthia into Bertha?
Oh also what points did you use?
glossy ravine
ingo first, then cynthia
then bertha twice
1k points
full strength
it's doable
thorny grove
Ok thank you so much for the help!
I have been throwing teams together in the meantime. This is what Iāve got so far.
Tbh I donāt really know what to do for the last one so I just threw supports at it with Courtney lol. I can shift stuff around and see what happens. If anyone can help with refining these teams here are my units. I think the first two are solid and donāt really need work itās just the other 3 Iām less confident in.
And I have access to move candies but Iām trying not to use any for the event. Iām willing to upgrade Lance to 3/5 (was planning to anyways) maybe Cynthia to 3/5, and maybe Rika to 3/5. I just got her so I havenāt really tested her out yet.
outer whale
WELP. TIME TO GET TOP 100
thorny grove
Me rn lol. I havenāt even payed attention to this one but Iām still gonna aim for top 100. Iāll keep doing it until I get top 20 and then probably just go for top 500 or so for fun. I wonāt be burning all my resources anymore too. Thatāll be nice, finally using my items on units I want to use em on again
cunning shore
Easy top 100 roster that
thorny grove
Yeah I figured. I just need help organizing it. I usually suck at the team management part of these events 
cunning shore
See the top rankers and see what you can copy/utilize
Usually you will find a common factor between all of them
For an example i imagine most top rankers used ACynthia vs Maxie
thorny grove
Thatās what I usually try to do and it works p well. I mainly just am having a hard time seeing what to do with the last stage
cunning shore
Which one is your last stage?
cunning shore
Hmm
Doesn't look too shabby
Do you think you can swap Leon Dragapult to this team?
thorny grove
Yeah I can, who should I put in place of Leon then?
cunning shore
Lance Kinda Destroys the stage
So you can bring one of the supports in this one
N stage
thorny grove
Really? The new support one,
cunning shore
Nono i meant arc lance destroys the stage already with or without leon's help
thorny grove
Oh wait kinda not kingdra
cunning shore
Yes
thorny grove
Sorry dyslexia just wanted to add letters and make my brain do more work for nothing
cunning shore
No worries friend
thorny grove
Ok so who should I put with Lance there? Tbh if he just destroys the stage I can prob move Brendan off too for a diff not as useful support
Unless Brendan really should stick with Lance
cunning shore
You want to use Brendan either vs Leon or Zinnia
So he's not bad here
I mean tbh
Brendan can be used anywhere
But like I think Leon and Zinnia most difficult stages
thorny grove
Rn Iām using this on Zinnia. Would he be better suited over Rika? Mine is only 1/5
thorny grove
Gotcha. I just became part of the club a night or two ago from mix
mortal timber
Gotta wait few more days sadly for the 3/5 Roxanne and doing my final improvements
Which should be a quite decent big jump
Thought I was gonna get the last candy today but sadly I was wrong haha
I guess like 3 more days
thorny grove
How is this for the Lance team?
Rika gives 2 MGA, 4 SpDef up, and -2 acc on all opponents. I feel like this actually works really well especially because then Lance can get another buff through dragon zone.
So now these are my teams
I think this works a lot better now. If it can be improved @ me and lmk what yāall think but I think itās good for me to start runs tmr. Thanks for the help @cunning shore
thorny grove
whole finch
Oh fuck where image
VS Maxie 500 Points
VS Nita 300 Points
VS Zinnia 300 Points
VS SS Leon 400 Points
VS N 500 Points
Might do better later on SS Leon since i use vigilance instead of dragon guard on lodge cynthia and Iris (Alt)
Also Nita's point is quite small
thorny grove
For top100
Rn thatās all I care about. Iām trying to save my resources this time around so I can bombard with my team in a couple of HSE when I have all the core units and max them all out.
I flew close to the sun last HSE and just barely fell, next time I try Iām gonna get it lol. Plus then Iāll stop burning all my resources in HSE since I donāt think Iād top that afterwards.
whole finch
Is that real Wof from this server?
knotty dew
So now these are my teams
Can you ex and role cake Fallxanne maybe? She does quite a lot on N
Granted 3/5 nuke helps a lot
thorny grove
Had I thought of it earlier yes I couldāveā¦ but uhā¦ bonobo brain go brrrr
knotty dew
thorny grove
Iām out of coins too lol I used em all for the anni
I kinda forgot about HSE until I saw it in my events an hour or two ago
Itās fine tbh. Like I said Iām trying to save my candies and whatnot so caking her wouldnāt do too much anyways. Iāll stick with what I got, this should be plenty for top 100. If not Iāll invest a bit and then see where it lands me
knotty dew
A candy on SC Lyra goes a long way on N too
If it's spare
Mpr on pots and sterner stuff 2 makes her a lot more tanky (and if he uses an electric move before TM for rebuff)
thorny grove
Iāll look into it. As it is now Iām good with seeing how no investment takes me. If itās good enough for top 100 then Iāll just keep it as it is. If not though, then Iāll look into investing. I wanna get the top 20 but before that I do want to get top 100 in every HSE. I just gotta be careful and patient with my resources and Iāll be able to just bomb the competition. Just gotta wait for the perfect moment to strike 
knotty dew
I just wanna stay in the top 500 š
thorny grove
Oh after top 20 clear Iām retiring the top 100, I know I can hit top 500 whenever I want really without any investment. Just comes with how long Iāve accumulated power in this game for 
thorny grove
Iāll look into it. As it is now Iām good with seeing how no investment takes me....
Jeez rereading that I just sound like Iām a villainā¦ actually that checks out after the Dark/Ghost HSE. That legitimately got me so stressed out on the last day and it didnāt even matter in the end. I remember going to sleep at number 16th and waking up to 20th on the final day and staying there until 3 hours before it ended. That hurt the worst. But Iāll be back for you top 20ā¦ juuuuust waitā¦
I tried the whole day to better my Acerola score and it wouldāve only boosted me to 21st at the end. I was in 23rd and just gave up when I saw I got taken down too far to repair. Had I just had an extra candy or two it wouldāve been possible for me but I just didnāt.
outer whale
Ok question, does Cynthia NEED strker EXR?
I don't know if i can get a cake. I'm 4 coins short before the end of the event
Like it only affects her sync, but she can ko sides with earthquake no?
neon prawn
Oh after top 20 clear Iām retiring the top 100, I know I can hit top 500 wheneve...
bro you sound like a super villain
neon prawn
Ok question, does Cynthia NEED strker EXR?
it's very nice since her eq is split
outer whale
I wish i could get it, but is it NEEDED?
cunning shore
So
I reset my zinnia
And I am unable to reach my previous score
neon prawn
normal for zinnia
cunning shore
Sigh how did I even do that clear
final canyon
Am I bad bc I struggle on the Maxie one 1000 with this teamā¦
neon prawn
rayquazas in this game are garbage so they made the npc one strong
cunning shore
Skill issue
neon prawn
would it be rude to say yes
outer whale
Are you using evasion strats?
neon prawn
assuming you are using guards and dodging
cunning shore
Am I bad bc I struggle on the Maxie one 1000 with this teamā¦
Does this answer your question
final canyon
I use spam and pray tbh
outer whale
Even 1/5 cynthia can 1000 str.
final canyon
Lmao si tāes Iām bad hahaha
cunning shore
I CAN'T BEAT ZINNIA ANYMORE WHAT THE HELL
neon prawn
wait that arc cyn is 5/5?
cunning shore
Nah
final canyon
So whatās the strat guys ??
neon prawn
for which stage
cunning shore
Oh wait
final canyon
So you're just having bad lick
How do you know ?
neon prawn
for zinnia it's to pray
final canyon
for which stage
For the Maxie one hahaha
neon prawn
and dodging everything
cunning shore
Make sure you grid sand castle and soothing sand
Ingo is there for -6 accuracy then try to flinch
outer whale
How do you know ?
Because ingo shouldn't be getting hit in the first place.
cunning shore
Yeah you debuff attack by using bertha sand tomb
Idk if ingo does that too
But if he does
You want that too
outer whale
Bertha with sand tomb and trapping everyone is the strat for arc cynthia to have a better sync
cunning shore
Cynthia can trap everyone with 1 node
Either the attack trap 5
Or sand trap viral one
mortal timber
Time soon to start doing some tips and tricks and win, hopefully
Despite Roxanne being 2/5 still I might have an idea
outer whale
Cynthia can trap everyone with 1 node
1/5 moment
outer whale
I mean, am i unlucky if i got her from a daily?
outer whale
Ok you go have fun with Zinnia then
cunning shore
I am actually bamboozled
How am I not living hits anymore
Time to push down the str
long oyster
Ok I get it
Foxanne on N is just better
Could probably 1k if Nita decides to potion mpr, like, at all
cunning shore
Duuuuude had I not messed around with Zinnia
My score would be 500k
Now I am stuck at 497k lol
This is just sad
paper mist
Is this too much DR?
long oyster
Those blue feathers did you wonders huh
cunning shore
Is this too much DR?
That's Pro DR
But the lack of raw stats is kinda sad
Can Zinnia Miss?
I am trying whatever rn to clear 80k Zinnia 
paper mist
The gear + cake for Cynthia isnāt enough for me to 1k str unfortunately, barely did 700 str and Ingo died anyway
knotty dew
Would've had 110k N if sync critted side 
Just 107k because chopped some hp off with earthquake

New comp
Nothing is working
Someone save me
They die to sync now
I wanted to free up Brendan

Might be some more in zinnia
900 str N
Pray to the rng gods on that one
Sides used tms, he used one TM and thunder punch twice
Para saved wally from death
Oh and mpr2 on wallys TM though it didn't matter
mortal timber
The game crashed as soon as I saw the points
Never happened before
Will I have it saved lmfao?
Ok phew I do haha
mortal timber
You cooking good ?
Waiting for 3/5 Roxanne, got to improve by 10k points today
Managed to switch the 1k str on Maxie and won at 750 str N with lodge rika rika and Courtney
haughty haven
Part of me want to candy SC Lyra to 3/5 to do 1000 Str against N
But i really to save candy for some my favorite supp
mortal timber
But yeah, the difference with arc suits is too much, no fun anymore like before, very happy to drop the event after this iteration
hollow prism
I donāt think itās the fault of arc suits tbh
I think the strength cap is too low
You have to keep in mind that we had a few units that outdamaged and outperformed the arc suits prior to this, notably TRed and all 3 4anni units
mortal timber
Arc suits fault again
hollow prism
NcRed has higher damage potential than ArCynthia tho
mortal timber
Really just put a blindfold and clear the stages
hollow prism
It was already gonna be an issue before this
If not on Ground then on Ice
Also Maxie isnāt exactly the hardest HS stage
mortal timber
Till we get the ice arc suit with rebuffs and such and then g to the gs
No worries
hollow prism
The whole thing about this event isnāt getting the damage, itās been surviving until 2nd sync
You canāt just slap acynthia on Maxie for 1k without a plan to take a sync still
mortal timber
Thatās what I did tho Lmao
hollow prism
How? You canāt kill before sync
mortal timber
Why do I have to kill before?
hollow prism
Sheās not fast enough
hollow prism
I still would consider 4th anni more of a turning point than 5th tbh
The gap between 3rd and 4th was HUGE
4th and 5th are comparable if not worse overall
And i wouldnāt use Cynthia or steven instead of NCBlue or Leaf in most cases offtype
mortal timber
I dunno man, you are talking about two units who can duo almost every UB
Thatās more than enough
main pulsar
Wel it should be noted that in every high score with the Anni unit they get around 1000
Ncblue was the first 1000
Nc leaf got it with such a wonky team but that made it more impressive
And so on
main pulsar
Arc units are not the progenitor of the being able to clear things easier
Cuz ncleaf only is hard because fire was in an awful state overall cuz supports didnāt exists
But with 2 types
You can have enough
mortal timber
In a situation where we have the arc duo winning vs SS Leon even with taking SE shadow balls lmfao
I really dunno man
How there is no difference between 4th and 5th
main pulsar
main pulsar
Itās not that arc pairs arenāt more powerful
Itās that strong pairs have always made high score polarizing
Iām just pulling out examples
main pulsar
I feel like this was felt with 4 anni too, the ceiling just got broken again
Weāll probably think anni 5 is really broken and so on because Iām ngl I was incredibly disappointed seeing how milquetoast anni n Steven and lillie were
So itās either make anni underwhelming or make it overwhelming
mortal timber
Sadge they decided to overbalance their kits
Cuz the hype around it is unmatched
2nd Anni my beloved
mortal timber
But yeah, no matter the result after this one I am done with HSE, can confirm it
Lost the excitement for it
hollow prism
Nc leaf got it with such a wonky team but that made it more impressive
Using a gen pool and the worst BP to 1000 was insane. To this day i consider her the best HS unit in the game
hollow prism
Being primary damage as well as insanely over the top utility is ridiculous in this mode
She handles all of the debuffs
mortal timber
The effort and patience for it, plus the fact I didnāt want to ex Delphox cuz I am not a fan of Serena and she was always living on a roll the sync
4 days straight of attempts man, the dedication
I donāt feel the same anymore nowadays
hollow prism
Thereās almost no other unit in the game that provides that much damage while also doing literally all of the debuffs by herself

Adaman sprint is awful
He needs strike

But I have no clue how to deal with that.

So since my box seems really cool, Does anyone have advice for the Nita battle (or Even every others)
Isnāt Giovanni variety Better than Nate for Nita ?
final canyon
No, his Damage comes from DPS which is...... painful with gauge
Oh okk Iāve maxed him for that, my pain However is getting a candy tech and a cake striker for Roxanne

I still have the following.
SC Adaman 2/5
Gioking 5/5
Ciris 4/5
Cyrus
Lucas 2/5
and Anni Raihan 3/5
i tried Vgio/Ciris/Palmallow, but i have to grid in twofer 3 just to help with gauge
long oyster
FlyHan instead of BT Leon for sandstorm propulsion ?
I legit dont know, I gave up on zinnia
I assume Pallow has decent healing so you could replace Nita with Ciris
She has Dragon Rush aggravation at 4/5
And her TM gives MG accel
outer whale
BT Leon has BFF
thorny grove
Hey @glossy ravine I got a couple questions about the arc Cynthia clear.
When do you use Cynthia TM for gradual healing?
Do you use all 3 TM on Bertha right off the bat?
Do you use Ingo TM at the start?
outer whale
Hey <@1008309204840357928> I got a couple questions about the arc Cynthia clear....
if it helps, I actually sand tomb Groudon first to lower attack, and Mud slap maxie for as little damage as possible.
I use Stealth Rock when Left Camerupt does something, then TM on Bertha before the first sync move.
Do not use Cynthia's TM until after Second sync
I literally did not use Ingo's TM whatsoever
800 str btw and I would have done 1000 str if I had Cynthia EXRed
also for sandstorm, I don't have Cynthia Sandstorm until after Maxie syncs
thorny grove
Gotcha thatās about how I just tried it and it did well. I just didnāt get lucky with accuracy drops. Got hit by every fire blast at -3 accuracy ;-;
long oyster
Yeah Maxie is annoying like that
outer whale
I actually had endurance on both Ingo and Bertha, but what i did was try to see if i can roll for burn
long oyster
Even at -6 acc he manages to land fb crits on me 
outer whale
If bertha got burned, I'd want to use that before she dies so i can add two extra moves for better DPS
it's a niche strat, but it can be a godsend on sync CD
long oyster
You guys are better than me tho cuz I didnt even use stealth rock now that I think about it
thorny grove
I just screwed up such a perfect beginning run. I used sandstorm on Cynthia to get second sync as Maxie got his and then I realized waitā¦ MAXIE IS GROUND SYNC CRAP I JUST GAVE HIM ZONE! All my 100% hp gone

i was always under the impression that it was only Regular moves
thorny grove
Bruh 3 fire blast hits on -6. I hate this game sometimes my god
Why is 95 accurate a death sentence for us but -6 accuracy on a 85 accurate move a walk in the park for the opponents.
And I lost to no crit on sync. Ugh alright well I know itās easy now. I just gotta get crits and misses
hollow prism
Every time I see sync cd I just think of
Gotta go fast!
knotty dew
Top 200!
Turns out it's much more efficient to just bring arc Steven and whack up a massive strength stat than try to use 1/5 nita
As long as Alt Iris can nuke before sync with +6 sync stacks, you're pretty unkillable wiping out the sides
thorny grove
Finally. And thatās without Ingo living
final canyon
Any advice for N 900-100 with these units ? Only Lucas and Maxie (lmao) are exr

No since I just started and beat my first stage like 5 minutes ago

Beyond that try nuking with Courtney I guess

Fallxanne with aoe nuke at 3/5 is kinda the cheat code to that stage I think
Might have to be arc lance

Yeah Iāll how to clear Zinnia more than 500 AND N on 900-1000
knotty dew
Albeit you probably want to use him on zinnia

Might have to be arc lance
Used with Leon on 1000

Also Iām now just realizing N is popular for HSE. Wasnāt he in Elec, Dark Ghost, and now here?
He just canāt get enough of making our lives miserable can he
knotty dew
At least he's conveniently weak to a featured type
But yeah I don't think you're gonna get up to 900 str without Fallxanne
People have gotten 70-80k with Courtney though
Check the pins

Lyra gets Elektr resistance with her TM after the first wild charge

Either or tbh

Left didn't use EQ much at least
long oyster
I don't remember what left uses
knotty dew
More tms less mini pots usage more ACC debuffs
Either iron head, earthquake or a tm
I think? My brain is melding all of them together at this point
long oyster
I think I'd rather EQ than risk a flinch
knotty dew
Yeah it is iron head
Tbh if he uses iron head you probably have to heal up to get above the sync damage
It's not ideal but workable
He was probably the nicest one to reset for
Zinnia sucked
Maxie was just frustrating because he never missed a fire blast at -3 acc or lower
long oyster
Maxie took me a whole day because of that but I think Zinnia frustrates me more

These are my overall units. I used Bertha, Arc Cynth, Ingo, C Nate, P Mallow, and C Iris.

My tactic was bring Anni raihan to zinnia and have him max defend Brendan for dragon ascent lmao
I have no zerena so SS Cynthia stood in
Rest of mine were fairly conventional beyond having normal Cynthia rather than arc
