Be like flying and poison for some reason
As one of like 5 people with 3/5 Rosanta bring on flying
Reroll for RNG evasion buff on TM
Enjoy
At least you get two attempts per tm at 3/5
Bring on rock fighting
Or flying fighting with 4 f2p supports
Probably my last attempt to push, already beat my personal best so far, it's enough for me in this HSE .
900/710/650/1000/900 strength
guess who severely underestimated foxanne's sync power at 3/5
Me
oh I was thinking me
like sure I only did 650 but I did not think she would leave only mid alive at 7% with a single support ex before her on n
You can get up to 925 or even 1000 with enough luck
yeah I think so, my limiter there is 1/5 nita
I still have 2 clears left to figure out who I need to EX this week and so far the answer is nobody (I'm already 17k past my initial run despite running arc Lance at 450 and only 450 this morning)
ok I think I have to make an EX for Nita otherwise I don't have a good damage dealer
1/5 Nita isnt really an obstacle
only 2 potions is the obstacle
It's not
it puts so much extra pressure on rika recuperation to be enough
it's the bicio clear but with more move levels on rika and less on nita
should still pan out for 900ish with good rng
but I also don't think that wants nita EX
How many Rika dupes
completely maxed
oh gauge is a negative problem
it's just keeping rika healthy enough outside of recuperation
and then making sure foxanne doesn't crumble pre-sync for some reason
This node on Foxanne will help
You're good then
I 1k'd with the bicio team
Nita has been refusing to potion mpr since I got her
cool now I play the game of what on earth supports ciris next to pallow vs nita
I think the answer is still this silly 1/5 sc lyra and I reset for mpr on iris
How invested is your Iris
3/5 ex, no r yet since I'm saving that cake for kriss
You're gonna need dragon rush trip up
pallow trip up 9 not enough?
iris looks like a very clean cut "just take the left side and ground guard because earthquake"
I did NC Nate / Ciris / SC Lyra so I didnt think of that
yeah I don't have nate which is my one worry this entire event
otherwise this would be easy
I struggled to get 700str so idk about that
Yet
I was learning how to use him on the spot 
wait they never changed the name of champion iris's theme surely that won't haunt them in a couple years when nc iris emerges
They'll realize by then I guess
What’s a good grid set for this team?
I focused on sync for nate
Iris dragon rush aggravation and tm mpr
I dont have Pallow
Does Iris sync at all or just dragon rush?
I did :)
probably just take a look at pykuo's grids tbh, same team but only 1/5 iris so you can take some more qol tiles
Mine nuked once I was out of Unova Circles
mind you, I do not have arc cynthia yet
So if you can pick power play go for it I guess
who's easier to start off with?
Depends on your roster
you want to see my whole roster
or just the dragon and ground types?
Dragon Ground
Can someone explain the C Nate C Iris and P Mallow team for the Nita fight to me? I do not understand lol
considering how my ground roster is hot ass i am pleased with this outcome
yooo
long time no see
You could try N
Courtney, Rika, Nita
Electric Guard on Rika
I might need a list for all 5
also what strength increase
Gimme 10
hi lol
Ok so
-
Maxie :
Bertha - Ingo - OG Cyn
Since you dont have Arc Cynthia, I doubt you can 1k -
Nita :
NC Nate - Ciris - Phanpy
You're gonna need trip up on either phanpy or hydreigon
The most I saw was 710str -
Zinnia :
Annoying. Use Zerena for dps but I stopped at 350str because I hate that fight -
Leon :
Brendan - Arc Lance - a tech
If you can candy arc lance to 3/5, you can do high str
I stopped at 700 because my brendan is 1/5 so I can't potion bot
2/5 Lance can do 825 str with Dragon zone
OG Cynthia I got about 550 str
Hey, what do you do for the Lance clear? Also what units work well with him for the stage?
Died just before the opp second sync
About 82k in it
But that was pretty optimal hp luck
Supp wat you use are not important. Need flinch whit lance . Then sup sync you sync whit lance also need check if mid -6-6 . Then befor his max move you kill him whit b move. Then need flinch sides and kill them
I use my leaon clear lance and alt leon plus brendan. But you can use any sup its not important
Ok, I’ll probably just throw on Drake instead of where I had Rika. Seeing as I don’t need buffing help outside of defenses and he can help with para.
Now I just have to see if Rika fits on another team better.
Out of these three where do you think Rika works best? I’m not going to be upgrading her so that’s why I just threw her onto that team
Maxie - 1000
Nita - 750
Zinnia - 500
SS Leon - 750
N - 800
Probably N
Ok what about Rika then? Is she good to rank there? I wanted to keep Brendan for the Zinnia team but I can switch him out if he isn’t really needed there
I'm gonna EX Rika with my Saturday champ spirits
Ok, any other adjustments to the teams? I have every dragon/ground except for Normal and SS Cynthia.
SC Lyra does a lot more at 2/5 but it's an investment
I would use not courtney but fall roxane if you have hear
But need 3/5 it
Move lv are need it
Like lance need 3/5
Leon and n is easy 1000 str teams
Word, trying to presync right
Leon yes
I'll keep at it and see if I can't boost those scores up
Its realy easy when lance 5/5 have 3 rebuffs
Yeah fair
Should I build Lucas for DPS then?
Just watch he need —6-6 on defs befor it
I was nuking with him
What lucky skill you got on lance Adam?
Or use someone else
Can Lance pre-sync 1k with 3/5?
Sounds good
Crit 2
Or do i need reckless 4/5¿
I do a good cycle
I give him super up on sync then super up on bmove
He deletes Leon before max move
But that's at 900 str
Yes need b move have sup up next
Or 950
I have her but I’m trying not to invest this HSE. Also I don’t have a role cake for her nor can I get one
Idk at 1000 will he still die or nah
I not use it
Relentless*
Its my grid but his sync are not important
Hmm
Let me try out and come back
You can skipp hp recover no need extra orbs
You dont use Insult to Injury ?
I already been doing this I just didn't know if I can take out Leon at 1000 str without 4/5
And now sides
More difficult
Lol
I kill Leon before his Sp.def up lol
Yeap
@night sleet thanks for the tips
I cleared 1000 for Leon with 114k
I know it can be better still but that's big improvement
Makes sense
You also used SS Brendan right?
separate question
can f!Roxanne & BT Leon clear N at 1000? or is it better to give her double support
Think that the slower game benefits f!Roxanne more after playing the stage more
Get that more attack bonus
Yeah I was able to clear 1000 str for N with some quad-queues and a few lucky flinches from Nita's Bullzons
119k, another big jump for sure
Maxie - 1000
Nita - 750
Zinnia - 500
SS Leon - 1000
N - 1000
Decreased my Zinnia Run without taking Brendan from it 
But hey I increased my overall
Nerfed myself by 3k nearly
Down to 202
Think there's more in Leon with some more optimization of sync damage tho
Since all that matters is nuking middle
It's also much less annoying to reset with arc Steven than nita
What was your Leon fight grids
You need 2 sups in it. Alt leon i would use on leon instead off lucas
You don’t need zone too kill mid
This team for me better then lucas since alt leon low sts and accu too
I need alt leon elsewhereee
I had better score with Lucas instead of Anni Raihan
My 1000str clear is Latios Dialga arc Lance rn
I am trying to fit Raihan in Zinnia team now
Max guard dragon ascent can make things change
Problem is quad queue after latios gets hit
Waiting for the candy here I am so close to it
A day or two and I can give a final push and be free no matter what
Zerrena gauge suks
What else can I do
Nothing

Not enough damage then
Rng hell
You want me
To go through hell
I should just stop at 500k
I think I might stay top 100
400k is on
If you have arc lance 3/5 you can do leon 1000 str
The next level of rng hell is putting mpr on Stevens TM for more sync stacks
Don't have arc lance or cynthia
Or zerena or NC nate
Maximising what I have here 
You’d be losing out on CS2 but you could run speedy entry, fast track, or move gauge refresh lucky skills if gauge is the main problem
Yeah but she still sucks
I am settling for my last score
78k
On zinnia
Everything else +100k
Hey Jo I just noticed your Leon team used NY Clair. How good is she for that stage and did you need her at 3/5 or just EX?
Tbh, just EX should work
I haven't gained much from her para heal or para in general
Lance gets to para sides himself already
And i haven't used first aid personally
If you have her at 1/5 and have no problem EXing her, I'd say just EX without candying her
This game definitely has a memory leak problem
Reset enough times and it crashes
Just cost me a 950 str win on Leon 
I have a neighbor!
lol, I used the wrong grid on Rika for my N team and still won at 900 strength 🙃
I was wondering why she didn't have Endurance
wow, my tilt with that Salamence constantly using Stone Edge devolved into me questioning why he has X Defense All
my game got disconnected after I won (my internet sometimes sucks), but it still counted as a win 
top 30 has 100k less than top 1
wow...
the climb is STEEP at high levels this HSE
Wonder why
Because Zinnia is a straight up @$$&##&#+&#(#-&#-(#(#)
400k!
Maybe more in HP for Leon with potion mpr but I have no more patience for it
It already requires the perfect run to kill him presync
my progress today was resetting maxie and N and switching courtney over to N while running bertha arcynthia and ss gio for maxie
after the arrangements i managed to get about 30k extra score
but the new N setup took almost 2 hours of resets
since i was running lisia courtney BT leon at 340 STR
no EX on the first two
you need to get so many acc drops
What's your other Support options for Leon other than Steve
Or you just don't want to deal with sides
You can 800 str with better score
Or even 750
It's like 1/5 Nita
I get a much better score just cranking up the strength and using him to buff a iris sync
Then you can't die to sides anyway and potion mpr
That was 950 str
It's not an inspiring group
Gastrodon believer here so far
I also need to buff ciris for her sync to kill
I've played around it with it but nothing really compares to carrying a high str with Steven and taking a 2x modifier
Doing its good stuff
Honestly it's cool though. Without 4 of the 5 meta damage dealers for this I would've expected like top 1000 maybe
Stuff like using Anni raihans max protect to tank dragon ascent was fun
Any tips? I need to redo N since Leon is now 3/5 but idt it’ll help much. I might give a candy to Lyra so I can go all in on Gio’s grid without needing Critical Crit. I still need to make Dragon DR gear but both Rikas kinda make it difficult
(700 / 500 / 450 / 500 / 350)
Only at rank 363 rn and I just wanna stay top 500
No Nate, needs 4/5 Leon due to Go Viral 9 WoW
Oh wow first HSE clear I see using Lodge Rika (≧▽≦)
Trust I would've used her
If i had rika to begin with
I’m trying to figure that out. I’m pretty sure this chat just scammed me when they said Iris nuke was good
I gave her both the OP multipliers and she fell on her face
Even with Nate lowering atk for her
Ayyy let's go!
CS2 for Lance & Lucas, Dragon Guard for Brendan
Can I score 200k with this setup?
I am not sure about these teams either!
Please suggest me some teams, the order is same as HSE opponents order!
And I don't really want to spend resources to Ex units i barely use!
Probably best loading up something like bertha, hapu and arc Cynthia and trying for a big score on Maxie
Hello, I am currently struggling to clear this event, can I clear it with these ground/dragon sync pairs ? (I can also take non ground/dragon but not sure if it will be enough for 200k)
Also worth considering some op units that don't get a bonus and trying a high strength level with a 2x bonus
I would recomend use some off type sup or tech strike depend on teams. Then 200k you reach .
200k should be pretty comfy with those pairs Red
Bertha, Ingo and regular Cynthia pushed 82k alone for me on Ingo (granted 2/5 ingo so will be a bit higher)
This will be rough but:
From your team layout
Maxie: that would work for 200 but you can easily hit 600 with arc cynthia instead of Zinnia and just have hapu there to mud slap. Keep bertha as the tank.
Nita: Move nita there, you need someone to lower speed. Get rid of ryuki for this. Idk what Lisia is there for either. You can use drake instead and do 250 str
Zinnia: place Ryuki here and have him tank dragon ascent with shell trap. You have no one to deal damage either, get a special attacker that's offtype. Get rid of rika too for ss brendan so you have spdef buffs. do 200 str
Ssleon, place rika here for debuffing an poison. She's not the best at 1/5 but can at least tank better here. Do 400 str
N: place DC Wally here and add Lisia here so you have a psuedo tank. And have clay focus on lower speed. Do 250 str.
You're going to need invest in type guard cookies
Hse will always be muuch easier if you have type guards on your tank
Maxie: fire
Nita: dark
Zinnia: dragon
Leon: dragon
N: electric
Hope this helps out
The funny thing is even at 700 str Nita’s EQs aren’t that scary
I only take like 25-30% per with Pallow Nate Iris
Since its aoe
The problem is health condition
The problem is my Pallow is 1/5
That is the sucks one
She heals off the EQs if you don’t get a second spread
But i don’t have flinch on her
So i’m in deep shit on that stage
I prob have to lower by 100
I didn’t use flinch too
Wait what
Iris need flinch
But i did at low str just to keep high Hp
Oh right i forgot Iris flinches
I’m bad
Do you ever sync with Iris
Or is it all just Nate
Ok that’s what i thought
Hypothetically speaking,
My Brendan is 2/5. If I wanna B move with Lance before Leon does his Max Move, I can give my Brendan Adrenaline 1 LS and give up dragon guard, right ? 
If you wanna eat shit from the dragon moves
If your brendan is exr no need
Taking off type guard at all in HS is just a no 95% of the time
My Brendan is EXR
I can't do it
Wnd exr
Does Lance even need 3/5 for this event
He is too
Team Smart Start on Brendan prevents quad queue so I can't quadqueue at all
Befor sync
What does the same team do but with 1/5 EXR
No I beat Sync no issue
Why you need team smat start
I don't
type guards for tanks and CS2 for DPS
without many good dragon/ground supp units i can't do too much lol
Then mid
Oh lance gets Flinch at 3/5
Do I Giga Impact turn 1 then
Uh oh
Flinch AND para
:/
More need flinch
So that clear gets its str NUKED then
It's the same node lmao
Well Giga Impact will flinch
Nah i’m asking 1/5
I just dont wanna hyperbeam before Brendan does Luster Purge on mid
Since he has Wise Entry
Why are people even putting Brendan on that clear at all
Brendan is negative synergy with ArcLance
If you dont want take max move and syncs
Spdef tank
Special Tank Tanks Special Stage
First and most important thing
Do we really have nothing else?
All off you use wrong team on leon
😭
Unless you went for Ny clair lmao
Lodge Cynthia 
This the best team
Which.... who did?
For leon
I might start coping
Don’t make me
Actually wait a minute
If you do that do you think Brendan can boost Zerena higher on Zinnia
☠️
Arc lance need use vs zinnia
Brendan has trouble tanking crunches
And unova trio vs leon
Like if you get crunched. Lmao rip
Like i did
Crunch is on nita tho
On zinnia too
Does Zinnia use crunch too
Yes
BRUH
Yes
AAAAAAAAAAA
Mood
this fucking stage
Zinnia is designed to hit you with a brick wall for no reason
Just like Lana at the time
Like the highest i see so far against Zinnia is 950 Str
This is arc lance right
Zinnia
Yes arc lance
I would have to reset my Nita and my Maxie for that and I dont wanna do it 
It is a good news, what teams would you advice to me ?
Ow fuck you that hurt
My Nate is 3/5
Need 5/5 for 10E
Me when zinnia does anything
I have alot 10E
I respect it
ON A MF THO
But I don't have the ressources for that
If you want score high need invest
There’s no 5/5 grid 
I tend to avoid adam's teams, not because they're bad, but he expects you to have maxed out units 
I just want 500k
Do you think top 1-3 don’t use it lol
ofc they do
Tbf if you push past 500k that’s a fair expectation
If score high need invested units
I just want top 100 one of these hses 
That's why I leave that to people like you and bicio, I can't invest like that
Imagine not getting it twice
No need just for 1000 str some need
If you do 800 no need
Three times.
Ok i’m the clown then 
Its just 1000 str need high invest lower str no
But I got top 10 once that counts as 2 top 100 finishes
I got cut off from top 100 in water/fairy, Ghost/dark and even the psychic HSE
I'm in cope mode
I didn’t have Leaf Cake i got cut off top 100 Fire too
Since i told not this team
Ok back to work rq
Rika have nothing
That not even my team
Rika 1/5 🤡
I did 1000 str on zinnia
I’m gonna 5/5 my Cynthia
And that was only 2/5 Arc Lance
Thankyou so much! 
And if you're wondering, arc cynthia even at 1/5 can beat maxie at 1000 str with bertha and ingo
I will try it too! Thankyou!
She got mud slap for attempts at evading steel wing and fusion bolt or w/e it’s called
It’s either lodge Rika or Courtney there for me
I just lost 1k Leon to a Rock Slide Flinch
I hate this game
Shoot give me like 40 mins, gotta head home

Don’t know if top 20 is able to me since I don’t have fallxane 3/5 exr
Any idea on how to improve on zinnia ?
Really just get better potion luck or hope she gets fully paralysed when using Dragon Ascent
My SS Brendan was 4/5 from a banner a long time ago, so he has Endurance (a 4/5 grid tile) to guarantee survive taking a Dragon Ascent 🙃
np
I could see switching Rika and SS Brendan as an option
Rika so good for this one, +6 spe def and minus 2 accuracy
And also debuff a lot Leon
Yeah maybe I should try more power on Zinnia with my actual team
@tender ermine almost home. You can start
Hse sufer i join too😍
You use wrong teams
Ingo nate iris on leon
You dont need ingo just tank betrha can add nita for flinch pots
Plus wally is not best too use
Raihan lucas better
If I got a Roxanne from mix in time I’m willing to give her a candy…no dice on cakes though
Hoping I can get a Cynthia or lance from dailies so I can give them a candy to get 3/5 but with the uncertainty of future arc pairs I can’t just spend all my yellow candies freely (plus I just never have field candies)
She will need cake to do high strengths
The earthquake is being spread so having the aoe sync will help immensely on dealing more damage to N
Unless you're using her somewhere else
Against Nita
Her no cost b move and speed buffs really help Giovanni’s gauge guzzling
Hmm. Donxt know her strat for nita
She need on maxie or n
I had a strike cake but I gave it to Cynthia cause I just could not do enough damage to Maxie fight as long as the side camerupt stayed alive. Even then I ended the fight right as Maxie was about to do a 2nd sync
Only in 700 STR I genuinely cant do 1k at 1/5
ok bet
Foxanne on Nita isn't that good compared to her on N
Nita needs like
-3 speed for you to not get nuked to death
I’m not aiming for top 100 tho just top 500 is good enough for me since there’s no extra title for top 300
Since she has ramming speed and inertia
But on Nita which one should I use ?
She debuffs speed on each b move and if she ever gets speed buffs Roxanne’s sync converts it to debuffs for the whole team
Arc lance
She uses x speed all right before nuke
Plus vGio also debuffs speed with Icy Wind which I use to kill the Flygon quickly so there’s less AoE penalty
Pal mallow arc lance and some tech
Who would I put in that team that doesn’t fight with Giovanni for gauges though
So that means… on Leon which one should be use ?
He’s a serious gauge guzzler and I can’t just use his TM every other turn
I dont have v gio so no idea
But since you've got icy wind you have options
Omg okk I’ll see
My options need to complement his gauges though. Hardly anyone buffs party speed in this HS. I’m using Ingo against Maxie, so that leaves Roxanne or Nita but I’m using Lyra as the tank there
Even then Nita would be a worse option cause Fly would mess with sync countdown and Bulldoze is 3bar. Roxanne’s 0 gauges and Lyra’s 1 bar spam means Gio doesn’t have to compete for gauges.
Hmmm
He has Surf and Icy Wind (with Stupefy 9 so IW/Surf can do more damage) but all his moves got aoe penalty so once I kill the Flygon with IW spam I can do more against Nita with less penalty
I swear I’m like the only person who even has vGio for this Dx
He's so rare I don't even know what role he is
Field
I think
And I have no idea what you can do
Guess foxanne is your best option 
Field with Strike EXR with Haymaker and SB9 on grid for sync nuking
The icy wind one is a meme
Courtney on N is cool but not an easy fight
The sync is fine but he's very gimmicky in general
Ye
Every Surf ?
Yes
Surf has an actual BP

Also has SDE5 for DPS help
I have a grid plan for him but I need to candy Lyra so I can ditch Critical Crit 9
His grid is one of the most expensive ever tho
So it's really hard to use him well imo
5/5 babey 
Even then
But yeah his stuff is all over the place
Haymaker and CC9 on the top right
SB9 and SDE5 on bottom right
IW stupefy 9 on top left
Surf brain gain 9 and TM mpr on bottom left
And all of them are in groups of 10 energy tiles
yup
I can +10 him but that gives him access to like 1 extra tile 
If he wasn’t so good against Nita I would use him against N instead of Lodge Rika
I am DONE
1000/700/350/1000/1000
Would've thought zerena was better honestly
It's just zinnia that sucks
Yup
topp 100 ez
20 is
a different story
I did 450 against Zinnia with Zerena Iris and Rika
Might try it again with Lucas over Iris
I did 410 with SS Brendan, Anni Raihan and SS Cynthia
hello hello my peeps
i'm quite new here but very well known in the land known as pocecord
would like to share my hse run to see if more could be done to boost my score
this is my run, as of now I am master rank 664
i'm satisfied with being in the top 1k, but idm hitting top 500
I hightly doubt i can reach top 100 but 500 is what i want if possible
Pre adjustment and just testing each stage, not bad
I’ll probably switch my Brendan and Rika around and do a 1k clear on the Leon stage, redo the Nita battle, and maybe redo N as well. For no investment this wasn’t too bad. I may invest a little to make sure I stay in 100 but I’ll do that on line the last day seeing as I did all of this in one day.
Can you share the grids
Ok, one thing i'm already seeing, you are severely missing out on points on Maxie by using Arc cynthia on N instead of Maxie.
Courtney herself can already score high on N by herself, while Arc cynthia even at 1/5 nonexred can 800 str Maxie with Bertha and Ingo. With 3/5, you can EASILY 1000 Str Maxie
The nita team is optimal so you're perfect there!
The only other thing is swap Lucas and Lance between Zinnia and Leon. That in turn Should get you MUCH more points. @severe fox
I got no ingo
The support you see is all I have but
I’ll switch em around
And Ight will do
Thanks so much for that man
you can swap ingo for Hapu actually since Bertha is tanking. Ingo is really there to use Mudslap.
I only suggest Ingo since potions can help if bad RNG happens.
of course, if you haven't already known, make sure type guards are added to your tanks
that was my main mistake for some of them ngl,
mallow, iris and i believe lodge cynthia have guards
i;ll give it to the rest of my tanks now
if you want some guidance
Maxie: Fire
Nita: Dark
Zinnia: Dragon
Leon: Dragon
N: Electric
Zinnia dragon? 
the nuke just keeps killing them
You can 1/5 arc Cynthia at 100 with Ingo and Bertha. I did it and got 117k
It’s not hard either, just gotta get an MPR or two for Bertha and Ingo potion. Also making sure Maxie stays trapped at the end for second Bertha Sync.
Hey Jo what were your strat and grids for Nita? I have everything but 2/5 mallow idk if that’s needed but I can invest a candy into that if needed.
Also what did you do for Leon?
Is this Zinnia? yea, she's straight up the worst of the 5.
I'm not entirely sure about your entire roster either so I'm not sure what i can recommend aside from lowering the difficulty if need be
Nah this is for maxie
Yea ngl after everyone else my roster is pretty ass
You also need sand slinger 9 on bertha
This allows everyone to survive sync
Also Skill gears. Idk if you're using them or not
Are they that important
If it means keepign cynthia and hapu alive with no ingo to heal, yea.
...that makes sense
Sand slinger 9 would be downright required too
Sand slinger is mandatory I'm not denying that
I actually gridded in Gritty Guardian as well
Ofc sand slinger 
With this situation, gridding endurance or going for soothing sand is up to you but i personally would go endurance
Sand castle 2 is required tho.
ALSO DO NOT USE CYNTHIA'S SANDSTORM BEFORE MAXIE SYNCS
cynthia has funny ground zone. Maxie has funny Ground sync which means:
It's all trial and error. 95% of HSE is tbh
Yea true
My main issue is patience
Tbf should be attempting this at 12 in the morning LMAOO
HSE is gonna challenge your patience no matter what
Especially with Maxie hitting fire blasts at -6 accuracy
Nita spamming Crunch
Zinnia.
Etc

At 2/5
Mallow gets sterner stuff and triage - which helps her survive more and heal more.
Can you do without? Probably
PoMaTools is a Pokémon Masters EX tool that helps users to plan their sync grids while simulating the possible damage outputs.
As for Leon, I decided to swap back to Lucas
Instead of Anni Raihan
Clair boosts the zone further at 3/5 and makes it so opponents don't get the buff from it
Good way to delete mid and add more damage to clear sides
Strat vs Nita is basically just balance between debuffing and flinching your opponents
The more flinches, the easier time you're going to have
Just don't flinch before sync
Or mistime them
You only need to debuff mid speed like twice
Then you'll be safe trying to fit flinches
You know what? Fuck this. What if i just use Brendan on Zinnia anyway? She doesn’t have Dark moves if i can’t see them
Stupid modeeee ahhhh

I’ll just roll 3 dragon pulses and give Brendan Dragon guard
Because haha funny random crit
Ez
Happened to me like
So much on 1k rusn
Doing 1k leon
Brendan dies to shadow ball
Doing N
One crit eq from hydreigon one taps a FULL HEALTH Courtney
Can't get 120k, ever
Screw this game
Just don’t get crit
I would swap vigilance if i can
Just dodge the crit
I got a 700 clear with 1/5 Mallow
It was super bad bc Iris only flinched once
I could have denied left to get an earlier sync, or i could have flinched mid after sync to preserve HP
With that i could have gone for about 800 str and all 3 mons would live
Def crush on Iris is the big thing, it allowed second nate sync and the follow up B move to nearly kill
Do you guys just not use scale shot at all on nate
Just asking cuz I thought the point was to save TM's to mitigate gauge management once you're ready to do dmg
Yeah u do
In fact i gridded for def lowering on it just so i can get -6 more reliably
Pallow’s 2/5 or higher is not necessary for a good score on Nita at all
Normally you only use it a few times however, Outrage ALWAYS takes precedent (duh)
And you wanna set Unova Circle right before Nate’s first sync, and sometimes a second one
You want to lead with an Iris Flinch on mid ofc
And ideally flinch on the Left hits, and the flinch on Mid after sync and TM hits
If you get that you can prob go 800
That's way too big brain for me
My brain too smooth for that
You’d be at 6 cd with Outrage leading into left, so iris flinch would get you a sync
It’s natural if you use Nate Iris regularly, and even if you flinch lock regularly
I don't 
Once you master it Flinch is the best utility in this game
With Phanpy tho cuz i dont have pallow
By a lot
Wait what
I have no idea how the Phanpy team works
Does she buff def by 6
Yes
….
2 MH1
She is better tho, bc she can just spam mini pots
And eq trip up 9 so I dont have to rely on dragon rush
Yeah i suppose Mallow’s synchro heal gets wasted
Also if nita opens with crunch her TM gives her dark resistance
Which is really good for post sync
That’s very dumb
?
But you wouldn’t lead with an attack from nita tho
You want to flinch her from the start
That’s how your flinch chain is optimally built
I dont remember what the issue was but my run was pretty chaotic
From my experience it’s pretty consistent
Besides rolling for no gleam on right
🤡
I think I did iris tm turn 1 to compensate for wanting crunch
Then I started flinching
Iris TM is bad before your first sync
-4 move 1 (iris sync CD on tm), then you’re at 5, and Flinch brings you to 0 right?
I could quad queue just fine it wasnt an issue
Fair point
You use Breaking Swipe for Atk down and a Def crush roll
Oh yeah no you're right
Iris TM doesn’t have a good place in the fight
If you get a refresh, 2 Iris TM and Nate Outrage is a 2 cycle sync though
If you get that then 
When I realized Outrage had sync accel I went for breaking swipe
Yeah Nate’s Outrage is so fucking good that it makes up for the rest of his kit being bad 
Helps tanking eqs better
Like 2 of Nate’s moves are dead moves and he’s somehow in contention for the best non Arc Fair this HS
I think I also synced with Iris before him
I mainly wanted the sync buff
I had it
But you really have to know what you’re doing
And you prob have to grid for it somewhat
Without at least one of the 2 sync nodes you just poke Nita with a stick basically
Probably the Atk node
And I think my last move to queue was unova circle to tank Nita's sync then dps
Which was funny now that I think about it
I let go of ground guard at that level
On her grid man
+6 def, -6 atk and circle was enough to tank sync at 700str so theres that
And phanpy is a pot bot
My only fear was dazzling gleam
Gleam isn’t real
Until it hits iris for whatever reason 
Not if i don’t believe it exists
@outer whale @night sleet you guys free?
sadly not right now.
settling with this run for now, although not sure it its going to be enough to stay in top100 
unless i get arc lance or candy some units, id probably try again just in case i get kicked out (but would appreciate some suggestions too 🙏)
Let me know when you are then 
@oak fulcrum do you do HSE help too?
I can, I’ve been a bit on the lazy side recently so I’ve just gotten to the first clear I’m actually somewhat satisfied with myself
Bet I need help
I can stream if you want
Ingo dragon guard nate cs 2 iris dc 2
Now i have time
@night sleet thanks for sharing your team comps. They were massively helpful
So I did a multi for 2/5 Rika now. I’ll have to see what that can do for me. Also I love the beaming disappointed faces of clay staring me down
Ok this gives me group slapdash, special def MPR and evasion up. Not bad. Not bad at all.
No prob;)
Hard tell:)
I just feel hse is too long
Should end already
Lg make sens but not hse
7-10 day like dc is perfect
Should end right now
Some people are busy 
Thanks

you right ngl
good thing i get lyra from selects today
If you get a candy, 2/5 is a lot better than 1/5 on N
2/5 on sc lyra lowkey slept on
I got enough for 3/5

In fact I got enough for 5/5
So I can get another support that I want
3/5 probably another step up
Extra pot mpr, master heal and first aid 4
Probably a way to game sync damage guard for bolt strike I guess
Which tech would be best to 3/5 here for the HS? The rest of my roster is here for reference if neened
Investing for HSE...
I’ll have spare Tech candies for faves in reserve anyways
lucas or anniraihan. like theyre great in general imo
you cant go wrong w/ those 2
I agree, Bt Leon is doing his best even at 1/5
I can see bt leon being a good candy option if youre a big LG streaker but it probably aint necessary for HSE
you’re telling me you don’t just do a multi to get BT Leon 3/5 and then the very next day get him 4/5 off a daily?
I’m in a similar spot where I don’t know what tech to put on Zinnia, but I think there’s a serious shot that it’s Lucas and I run NC Blue in my support slot
Anni raihan helps a lot on zinnia
Got this 1/400, not trying to stretch my luck further
His nuke is fairly potent and you can max protect out of dragon ascent
oh man if only I had him

4/5 of these are my teams (Zinnia is the only bad one, and yes that Leon score has increased I just reset Nita and Zinnia as well for more points)
Flyhan is supposed to nuke on Zinnia ?
I wouldn't know 
Zerena kinda noodles through that stage yeah
my clear is 400 strength and it was a struggle with max defenses
Raihan nuke on middle helps get it into killable range
And Cynthia can mop up
That's it mostly
tbf I still can’t believe they did my boy SC Adaman dirty this event
Got me 66k 🤷
He's bad for HSE period
I also had head start on him as lucky skill so I could triple HS and skip first turn
I guess my best shot at Zinnia is a off-type tank
though tbh idk if one off-type tank can get through Zinnia at say 900 strength to be worth offtyping for it
Yeah, her dmg just isn’t that great 
I’m using Anni Raihan on SS Leon (for Zinnia I’m using NY Clair/Cyrus/Lucas) but I’ll keep that in mind, as well as Citrine’s recommendations 
I must used chip dmg to kill Zinnia at 780 Str
kinda why I’m thinking her with 1/5 ( 😦 ) Lucas, maybe EXRing him if it’s required
Same
Like that team lacks 1 important things: consistent healing
So i must pray Rika dodge everything until the very end bc i still need her poison dmg increase in grid
Worst battle ever
see Pykuo you’re not dissuading me from putting my NC Blue in there as someone just missing 2 key units and investment on a third this HSE
or is arc Steven better?
Do you like suffering ?
well ideally not but 4/5 Arc Steven feels like an NC Blue level offtype support
Tbf i miss some important pair like F Roxanne or Arc Lance, but luckily i have enough supp
Yeah
I saw he can even duo at 1000 Str against Leon
nowadays I would only consider offtyping for one of them
And he is weaked to Ghost Type
So i really think you should drop Drake and use Arc Steven there
And maybe use Tech pair there too
So
@night sleet those team are Great ?
For :
1000
900-1000
600 or more
1000
900-1000
?
Consider them all mini 3/5 and Cynthia-Zygarde-Lance-Nate- Lucas exr
I hope this score is relatively high given the pairs I have to use
strengths are
567
201
209
680
344
is there any way I can switch units around to get a more decent score
What else do you have?
Also could be worth bringing some op units and running a high str rather than trying to make some other units work
Like Zinnia isn't great at this point but without weather she's probably not doing much
drasna BP zinnia and the 3* genpool units
I tried SST red with 2.0x multiplier on Nita at 407 str and only got 33k
ain’t worth
and it’s no less rng hell than what I currently have
well I gave him ground guard and he still needs good rng to live a sync
then clay can endure long enough for zinnia to sync and win
I can try to carry with arc steven but that’s probably gonna want at least 500+ str to get more and I’m not confident
I would put Cyrus on Nita though
Maybe Cyrus, Zinnia and a rain support
Try running up a total there
Hydro pump does a lot of super effective damage
then what do I do for zinnia
well I’ll try that arrangement tomorrow so ty for advice
308k is reasonable given this roster probably so I can say I’m satisfied
I think you did really good, considering your roster
Not sure why need hapu better sc lyra or nita. For leon you need good gear too kill befor sync need -6 def too. So prob 900 str rest look good n too 900
Yeah you're doing much more than I'd expect
Up to you if you think it's worth resetting but not sure you're gonna get much more
Hi beautiful peeps, how’s it going?
Around top 60 last time I checked
I lost like 9 ranks since I reached 500k
I think top 100 is guaranteed so I'm chilling
well I’m locked for top 200 which is something, probably not top 100 but I’m going to try my best as usual
I'm down to 207
At this point probably top 300
Maybe pushed out of top 250 on last day
wahoo yippee
I was just trying to get my tickets to end in 5 or 0 and almost got 1 extra 
Anyways I can get more points easily, what is the score to get to top 1000 at the moment? I am place 1200~
You may be better with Courtney over Giovanni. I haven’t seen anyone use him and that is essentially the team I had to clear that stage I just used Lyra there instead.
Wait I didnt check my ticket count 
I don't really care about the ticket count atp
Maxie
Sub her out for adaman?
Yes
Ok sweet thanks
@long oyster what was your grid and strat for this?
Gimme 5
