[long oyster]

My Brendan was 2/5 so you may have an easier time than me

[thorny grove]

Oh. So he was. I read it as 3 lol

[thorny grove]

Thanks!

[long oyster]

Lucas doesn't sync

Just chip dmg

You start Dragon Zone right after Lance's nuke so his B hyperbeam kills mid

Make sure to drop him at -6 -6

[thorny grove]

That’s what mine was doing too. Was sprint EXR needed or no? I don’t have it or a way to do it.

[long oyster]

Not necessary

[thorny grove]

Ok cool

[long oyster]

You will take Eternabeam dmg tho

Sprint sometimes lets you avoid that

Since Lance is flinching

Flinching after Mid is dead is really important so choose your targets accordingly

[thorny grove]

I assume start up is TM on everyone. Luster purge with Brendan, Chip on Lucas, and just focus all damage into middle with Lance. Or do I focus on the sides a bit with Lance to try to flinch/para and make the end fight easier

[long oyster]

Turn 1 Giga Impact on mid to get a flinch and then hyperbeam on mid still is not a bad strat

[thorny grove]

Ok

[long oyster]

Brendant TM Lucas TM Lance Giga Impact

[thorny grove]

Do I TM Lance ever or no?

[long oyster]

On turn 3

Since you can't deny mid again

Well technically turn 5 but you get

my point

[thorny grove]

This is what I readjusted Brendan to I feel like that works

[night sleet]

You need flinch mid and sides then can easy kill mid befor his g max

[long oyster]

I think that's good

[thorny grove]

Do you focus on sides at all before the mid goes down or no?

[long oyster]

A bit

[thorny grove]

Ok I assume to try and flinch to stop more attacks from coming in?

[night sleet]

Team tough luck better

[long oyster]

You have to debuff them before mid dies

Yes

Listen to adam he has the wrinkliest brain around here

[night sleet]

You low def whit lance

Then chip side

Sync

And b move befor his g max

Then flinch sides

So can kill them its all

You can use zone luca befor his b move

[thorny grove]

When is his G Max? Was that right as he gets his sync move or after?

[night sleet]

Since side not use dragon move when he die

Befor sync

[long oyster]

Right before sync

[thorny grove]

Ok that’s what I thought.

[long oyster]

When his counter is at 0

for some reason

[night sleet]

And first kill left side

[long oyster]

^

[night sleet]

Since its use physical move

[long oyster]

And duraludon flinches

[night sleet]

Right have special so less damage

[long oyster]

I lost a 1k to that, I was livid.

[night sleet]

Yes rock slide can flinch

Yeap i got flinched one time too

[thorny grove]

Oh I had that happen on my original run I was pissed

[long oyster]

He was at like

[night sleet]

Still win but got less points

[long oyster]

3%

And Lance is pretty bulky

So it took him 3 Rock Slides to kill and he still didn't wake up

[thorny grove]

Ok so I’ll try that strat. If I mess up I’ll come back. But from what I’m understanding I should kill Leon before his sync?

[long oyster]

Yes

[night sleet]

Befor his gmax

Not sync

[long oyster]

If you kill after sync, sides will become a nightmare

[thorny grove]

Ok. And I should be able to sync Lance and then B move to kill right?

[night sleet]

Yes

[long oyster]

Yeah

[night sleet]

If you flinch 2-3 time from start no issue

[long oyster]

B Hyper Beam goes Boom

[night sleet]

Yeap big boom

[thorny grove]

https://tenor.com/view/plans-dr-t-someonelookedatmyplans-gif-19069584

I’m about to look like this man after all my attempts

Oh one last thing

[long oyster]

nvm

[thorny grove]

Lucas dragon wish, when should I use them? I use one of them right after the support sync usually and then just reapply it later on.

[long oyster]

Right before B move

[night sleet]

Befor b move

Only make sens

[long oyster]

Once Mid is dead, you use it as you please

Sides will spam surf and rock slide

[thorny grove]

Ok

[long oyster]

Actually

If you go +2E on Brendan you could probably pick Adrenaline right

You should do that since you don't have sprint

Because this idiot can't quad queue

[thorny grove]

I could but I’d need to get rid of a potion MH

[long oyster]

Getting rid of the stat nodes isn't enough ?

[night sleet]

Can be this

[thorny grove]

Or I could do this without adrenaline but get endurance to ensure I can live a hit if I have potions on deck

[long oyster]

Eh

[night sleet]

G max kick endure too

[long oyster]

Brendan doesn't die much from my experience

[thorny grove]

Ok so Adrenaline it is

Oh shoot I forgot what LC do I run on Brendan? Dragon DR?

[night sleet]

Yeap

[thorny grove]

Ok

[long oyster]

Yes

But ngl

If you're lucky it doesn't even matter

[thorny grove]

Oh. I already had it lmao

[night sleet]

You can stream it:)

[long oyster]

It's just a failsafe in case Leon gets a dragon pulse crit

[night sleet]

I like watch hse suffer🤩

[thorny grove]

Pfft. As much as I’d love to have an audience see the absolute bs I deal with in this mode. Rn I’m a bit busy so I’ll prob just do a few runs when I have the chance. I’m about to work for a convention all weekend starting tmr and I gotta get all my stuff ready today.

Hopefully I’ll have time at night to do runs because I won’t have much time otherwise

[long oyster]

I wish you the best of luck

Tho this wasn't the hardest 1k for me tbh

[night sleet]

This is not hard if get flinch

[long oyster]

For me it was Maxie because Fire Blast wouldn't miss

Also random flamethrower burns but Leon also has that

[thorny grove]

Oh my god TELL ME ABOUT IT

MINUS 6 ACCURACY HITTING 4 FIRE BLASTS AND CRITTING THE LAST ONE

So many runs I lost with -6 because of fire blast I don’t get it. How is it when we have a 95 accurate move we miss like 1:6 but the 85 accurate -6 accuracy opponent ALWAYS HITS

[long oyster]

And crits

[thorny grove]

I had like 9 runs in a row go down the drain because Bertha just wouldn’t crit her sync. Yet I got crit 4 times in a row in one round where there isn’t even a crit buff

It’s astonishing

[long oyster]

Sync having innate -1 crit makes no sense to me

[thorny grove]

Ok so I just tried it and barely lost to sides. Does endurance save you from the max move? If so I may actually run that and try to get adrenaline LC. I would’ve been able to heal Brendan afterwards and keep him for potion spam and faster syncs.

[night sleet]

No

[thorny grove]

Damn

[night sleet]

Only g max guard/ protect work

[thorny grove]

Ok so I need to win this without Brendan or get a crap ton of flinches

[night sleet]

Yeap need flinch

Its key too do it

Special if brendan no exr

[thorny grove]

Yeah he’s not. If he was this would be simple

[night sleet]

You need suffer then:)

[thorny grove]

Yeah I just don’t have nearly enough. I could get to 8 coins if I used all my resources right now but that wouldn’t get me close :/

Does head start activate twice on Brendan because of mega?

Ok that wasn’t too bad. I could’ve had an extra 2.5k but I’m good with this for now

I didn’t Que my hyper beam in time to kill before getting hit again and I would’ve saved about 80% health but whatever

As they say in the business. A dub is a dub is a dub is a dub

Now for this fun team. +6 evasion and -2 accuracy ohohoh. Delightfully devilish

Plusssss max guard for the dragon accent

[long oyster]

I wish you the best

The most effort I am willing to put in Zinnia is using NC Blue

This fight is the devil

[thorny grove]

Thank you. I just need a 500 str clear to get 480k and then I can also redo my Nita clear, likely with a move level investment into my PMallow since I realized majority of my supports are all already invested in anyways so I don’t need to be as careful in saving those for my eventual HSE nuke

I could actually try a blue run.

Run it at a much larger STR and see where I get.

[long oyster]

I think blue can go 1000str

[thorny grove]

Yeah. Hang on would that be better than what I’m already doing?

[long oyster]

If you can 500 str with that, probably not

[thorny grove]

Plus I need para anyways… ok wait hold on why is this actually not that bad of a strat

[long oyster]

You'll probably get more points with your current setup

Since blue is off-type

[thorny grove]

Actually running 1k blue is better

With the 500 str I get 54k points with 1k blue I get 66k

[long oyster]

Aight mb then

[thorny grove]

With the maximum bonus points (which I DEFIANTLY WONT GET WITH RIKA) Blue becomes 84k and without becomes 81k.

Yeah screw it blue time

Damn I did my mix pity and a 3k last night for 2/5 Rika for nothing ;-;

I could’ve finally gotten Rei lmao

[night sleet]

Nc blue not carry this team for 1000 str

[thorny grove]

Yeah no it didn’t lmao

[night sleet]

You never kill mid befor 2 sync

[night sleet]

Since i test it befor

[thorny grove]

That’s 3 Zinnia syncs in lmao that is not working

[night sleet]

850 str is peak

[thorny grove]

And that was a bunch of flinches too

[night sleet]

Not worth use nc blue

[long oyster]

This stage sucks

jfc

[thorny grove]

It just barely would beat the 54k without bonuses but the bonuses would carry it away so nvm I may as well just go with the normal

[night sleet]

Yes the worts off them

Hard belive they have same sts😒

Its like 30% harder

[thorny grove]

Wdym the same stats?

[night sleet]

Hp itc

Like others

Feel like she have more bulk and attack

[thorny grove]

Yeah it does

[night sleet]

Even n hit less whit stronger moves

So its kinda bulshit for me

[thorny grove]

Zinnia is tired of us calling her and Ray crap

She had to even the score

[long oyster]

Can't she be busted when she's on our side too

Like damn girl, be useful once in your life

[fathom ivy]

arcZinnia to finally give us a good rayquaza

[long oyster]

You know what

Yes

Do that

And make her sync just dragon ascent please

[tiny ore]

i dont feel like pushing harder. thats it for me

900 str N was obnoxious enough

[long oyster]

Pretty good score

[oak fulcrum]

just watched a pallow and 1/5 sc lyra clear the side flygon on nita once my real damage dealer went down, it was pain

[oak fulcrum]

ok I now understand why everyone hates zinnia

[long oyster]

Welcome to the world of pain

[oak fulcrum]

pain and suffering and rank 101

Maxie 900
Nita 550
Zinnia 550
SS Leon 700
N 900

@onyx crystal if you want to add me to the pin ^

there's still points all over the place, I know

[long oyster]

Stopping at 900 there makes me sad

[oak fulcrum]

well yeah I'll go back and improve Maxie for sure

[long oyster]

N too

[oak fulcrum]

N I can maybe squeeze another 20 strength out of

1000 is just impossible with my gear

[long oyster]

I did it with ground gear

[oak fulcrum]

I started 1000, but had about a 40% dropoff in sync damage between 900 and 1k

same thing with that Zinnia clear, that is a presync and 570 was a struggle but 550 was first try

[long oyster]

Barely matters as long as you can you kill before trap runs out

[onyx crystal]

I've been pretty busy

[long oyster]

Zinnia I can't say I stopped at 350

[oak fulcrum]

idk what made me think to switch arc lance and zerena between those clears but it worked really well

also I mentioned the supports killing a flygon from basically full on 550 but here’s the vid
https://youtu.be/G3hxn1_E_Sw

[onyx crystal]

if anyone wants there scores updated ping me, now's a good time

just grabbed the latest ones from google forms

[oak fulcrum]

not me forgetting about the form

sorry for ping 😦

[long oyster]

I think mine on google is up to date

[static oar]

@onyx crystal could you update me?

Whoops, too many screenshots, lol

I must have been hypnotized by your display name lolol

[onyx crystal]

[lone bronze]

Is there an optimal way to distribute this very sad list which mostly don’t buff defences

[thorny grove]

Would using non EXR Roxanne be better than Courtney on N? I may slap the two gen candies I was planning on using on Arc Cynth on Roxanne to garuntee top 100. Still deciding though

[cunning shore]

Yeah Roxanne would still outdamage Courtney

[thorny grove]

Uh… Clair… you good?

Her hair melted what happened

I honestly wanna just draw this and try to get it to be an emote in here if that’s possible lmao

[thorny grove]

I had my clear at 600 with Courtney what would you say I could bring that up to?

This was that team

I am now just realizing I didn’t even know what the two 1k bonus points were and I did it every round lol.

If I can get that to be like a 700 or 750 clear then I may invest into just her and go from there. That way I can still save but also get to like 500k which is looking like the cutoff

[night sleet]

Lyra 1/5 its issue

And leon too

[thorny grove]

How is 1/5 Lyra the issue?

[night sleet]

No pots:)

You get alot bonus for left hp

If no mprs score never be high

[thorny grove]

That is true

I was planning on possibly putting a candy into PMallow for 2/5 but would just throwing two into Lyra be better?

I feel like this grid would be good

[night sleet]

I would not spend stuff

Its not worth it if you never use this units

[thorny grove]

I do use Lyra and Roxanne. That’s why I’d be ok with putting stuff into either of them.

[night sleet]

Lyra and roxane can help whit score

But roxane need have exr

[thorny grove]

I’m mostly trying to save my tech and strike materials since that’s usually my problem in HSE. I’m more open to buffing Lyra up since using two support candies on her won’t affect my other supports much since all of my great ones are already invested in.

Plus no EXR for Roxanne because I don’t have any cakes

[night sleet]

Its up too you:) but you say befor you want save stuff and try top 20 push if you will be spend on this and this hard save things:) so you need think wat you want

Spend stuff or save and push for it.

[thorny grove]

I’ll see where I lie for top 100. Maybe the 490 will make it

[thorny grove]

Jumped up to 87th but I can improve. I know a 600 str on Zinnia is possible and that’ll net me an extra 5k. I would’ve had it one run but I didn’t get a flinch at all with Raihan and had I gotten one I would’ve been able to win (down to one move off from syncing before Zinnia and winning) and I want to improve my Nita score. Worst case scenario I’m ok with upgrading one unit since I didn’t upgrade Cynthia and I was planning on it before my 1/5 1k clear

If I can also get another Rika from dailies I think I can push Zinnia to like 700 because of Noxious 9, bringing me 13,500 points higher.

[thorny grove]

Ugh the 800 str was right there…

[night sleet]

Befor nate b move and syncs need have -6 def drop from iris

[knotty dew]

213 today

[thorny grove]

I did

I had -6def from his first sync ;-;

That run was so good

Had I just gotten the flinch a turn sooner I would’ve likely had it since Mallow would’ve been alive and I could’ve gotten a little more health for Iris and more turns on the countdown. It is what it is though. I know if I go down a lot that I can pop one candy into her for minimal investment and get a lot of leeway from it since I’ll have more defense and healing

Oh btw should I have dark or ground guard for her? I had ground there and tbh I almost never get hit by ground

Oh also if I noticed the attack up she used sooner. I was like 2 turns late on realizing it and I could’ve minimized damage being dealt

[night sleet]

Hard tell i use ground but some use dark

Since wat move they use its lottery

[sullen pier]

#1255888121648644197 is the right channel

[mellow thistle]

Ayyo sorry I got confused

[thorny grove]

Dark was def the way to go

[long oyster]

Crunch goes brrrrrrrrr

[thorny grove]

I got it just barely. I can improve it but I’m fine with this. No HP bonus but tbh that’s fine I jumped up an extra 10k from that

[thorny grove]

Crunch do indeed go brrrr

My overall is a bit better now. I’ll be comfortable if nobody really moves around rn. If they do then I’ll invest into Lyra for a better N fight. More potions for better HP score at the end, better tanking so I can sync faster, and first aid 4.

[long oyster]

You're probably fine

4 days left

[thorny grove]

Yeah I figure but the weekend is coming up now so people will have more time to grind stages

I am ahead of Dabbo and he’s blessed by the gods to be exactly on 100th so I hopefully should be good

[long oyster]

Actually with

Dabbo said he would climb up after getting his foxanne to 3/5

[thorny grove]

Btw that’s my final roster. Like I said I may just invest into N team with Lyra but outside of that I’m comfortable.

[long oyster]

And my brain corrected wth to with

2/5 Lyra would do you a lot of good yeah

[thorny grove]

Honestly I’m willing to go 3/5

[long oyster]

That's fine

[thorny grove]

Make sure I get that top 100 lmao

[long oyster]

I think

Double MPR was clutch on my end

[thorny grove]

I mean it’s a lot better than this

[long oyster]

(I used Phanpy on Nita)

[thorny grove]

Gotcha. Yeah I can see that helping my Nita team a lot, Iris gets attack buffs, I get potions. Though I don’t get the essentially team gradual heal from Mallow attacks

[long oyster]

I just don't have Pallow

[thorny grove]

Ah gotcha. I didn’t until the last (not the one that just happened) seasonal select.

I’m actually almost done with all seasonals. It’s just new years and Christmas. They never are nice to me ;-;

Hopefully Christmas tiered is nice this year since I got 3 of em and all of them are useful.

[long oyster]

I skip seasonals

They're never good to me

I just get them in selects now

[thorny grove]

I usually just do dailies and if I’m missing an abundance I’ll save up for the tiered. Kinda the same with the fairs too

If I can grab one of the three in my tiered pulls and the other in the select ticket I’d be happy. Which happens to me often for the tier reruns. Though I’m hoping it’s all still in one banner. If not woof I’m in trouble ;-;

[long oyster]

I don't even know if I want someone atp

[mortal timber]

You are dang right

The day is today

Very close to 1000 str Nita

If I have time, for now settled for 900

[long oyster]

[mortal timber]

Done for now 950 str

With good health too

Breached 500k points

1000 is doable with good rng and good flinches, I will attempt a bit more tonight for it, now gonna reset other stuff

[paper mist]

4 more days

6 more days til we learn the next types

[mortal timber]

If one of them is rock it's the perfect time to leave HSE

I would be actually pleased

Olivia being my only striker till NC Silver lmfao

[outer whale]

I'm expecting Steel/Bug tbh

[rough forum]

Fighting/steel

Or
Poison/fighting

[night sleet]

Electric steel

[red owl]

Ew

Can they do like Fire/Grass so I don't waste resources

[storm vector]

grass already happened this janurary

my guess is steel/flying

they won’t be brutal enough to give us bug or normal

[paper mist]

I am also expecting this

Between all the steel pairs this month + arc suit bug in Nov

[rough forum]

Well water also had happened before water/fairy

[mortal timber]

An image that speaks for itself

So fucking close for greatness man, got like 3 para procs in a row lmfao

[cyan tusk]

I am expecting poison/electric

[mortal timber]

Even had good hp too dang it

[glossy ravine]

Normal/Steel, hue

but yeah, that's also possible

also dropped out of top 100, its been a good ride guys

[haughty haven]

Top 100 is 460k rn

Crazy

Idt i’ll be dropped, but i still have candy for 3/5 SC Lyra just in case

[glossy ravine]

four more resets

[outer whale]

Yeesh

500k is looking likely

[thorny grove]

Honestly I’m with Adasadas now. HSE takes way too long we only need like 1 week I did these in like 2-3 days and I’m already wishing it was over lol

[haughty haven]

I would love to exchange some days from HS to LG

[outer whale]

But yea, high score's sweatiness has officially made me stop dailying the dragon/ground banner

[cyan tusk]

I enjoyed this hse at the beginning bc for ppl who had the units it was more flexible in team building

And here I am, not touching it after day 3

Hp parameter my behated

[mortal timber]

I keep blaming arc suits

When in doubt 😂

[long oyster]

Arc Suits is a good argument for DeNa to make HSE this long

It makes new people pull for a better score

[neon prawn]

Long hse=more people pulling on Wallet fairs to compete=more money

[main pulsar]

The culprits are the combination of shitty parameters(please stop doing hp param), the enormous contrast between having the good units, and also this hse is effectively solved like water fairy, it’s just not very interesting, which arc suits are technically to blame but this applies to other overloaded types without arc suits as well, ground and dragon it turns out were a very capable type if you pulled all the seasonals and stuff like that, arc suits tipped them over the edge by adding in a cheat 1000, but again units like cerena were also like that

[thorny grove]

Honestly that’s just how the last HSE felt too. Pull both of the new seasonals which are essentially required for a high score, and have all of the other limited units because basically each one was needed somewhere.

[blazing raven]

lance is at 93/100; should be able to continue/finish hse tomorrow unless i get royally screwed 🤞

also one note to the hse params: its so infuriating when the params are actively contradictory like time trial vs # of attacks

so you have to distribute to have at least one aoe unit for every fight otherwise you just tank your score

[main pulsar]

It’s always been that all limited were needed in some way but I think the last 2 essentially shoved it in ur face because the polarization in quality, summer accerola was literally an auto 1000 as well, and arc lance and Cynthia are similar, the difference between feels shit, and also parameters make you not wanna push if it’s tedious and doesn’t reflect effort to ratio

Like electric ncblue was needed sure we can accept that

But it’s not like winter jasmine wasn’t unneeded either

It’s just that her clear wasn’t sunshine and rainbows it was still impressive

But here you have rika battle tower leon foxxanne zerena ncnate anniraihan lucas ssbrendan

All these units are pretty damn good

[blazing raven]

also the non-limited dragon/ground units are um

Not Great

[main pulsar]

Add in 2 giga broken pairs and suddenly this high score doesn’t take a lot of effort to score high

Bertha is probably the best f2p unit we have by far for this hse

Praise Bertha

[blazing raven]

oh for sure

bertha my beloved

but like

clair and iris compared to even the mid-tier limiteds

[main pulsar]

I think we need to give types more supports because if you didn’t pull every seasonal ur options sucked ass

[blazing raven]

yeah

see: me bumrushing lodge lance bc i need the support dragon desperately

and even that is paywalled behind a trash limited unit i didnt even want

[main pulsar]

I think high scores are betterer when the barrier of entry is lower, aka there are more f2p supports omegalol(and ones that don’t raise spatk and do nothing)

Also parameters stop sucking but it’s inevitable

I emphasize supports so much because they’re so necessary for every clear but often I have to Frankenstein supports that have no business doing things in high score

[storm vector]

i had to use clay and drake

[blazing raven]

felt w/ me clearing n with a team that had bp zinnia as my supp/tank

[storm vector]

at least y'all can use all 5*s or better

[blazing raven]

absolutely cursed

like ok the free roster of d/g is:

• bp: zinnia, nita
• naomi
• la: cyrus, zinnia
• story: iris, hapu, clair
• genpool: drake, lisia, courtney, bertha, clay, drasna, ryuki
• dc: wally

and quasi-free/free if you have the limited unit so not really free:

• lodge: lance, cynthia, rika

[storm vector]

the triple feature was harsh to me so i only got BT leon and no rika or anni raihan

6 multis

[storm vector]

cyrus and zinnia struggle to live a sync even at a mere 200 str but can do ok damage ig

[blazing raven]

so that 16/19 units. 3 units per battle and 5 battles means if you have 0 limited units you can only not use (or not have if you're especially unlucky) one of those

[storm vector]

i've seen people use heavily invested hapu as a sub for ingo on maxie

nita is relevant too

[blazing raven]

oh for sure

nita bertha courtney are amazing

[storm vector]

dc wally is fine, i used him for zinnia to drop spD

[long oyster]

Hapu gaming

Arc Cynthia so busted she don't need a support for 1k

[storm vector]

for the genpools

[blazing raven]

cyrus hapu and clay are putting in work this hse props to them

but like

so many of those are so awful

[storm vector]

courtney and bertha see some use when invested

the rest idk

[long oyster]

I think Cyrus sucks because of his TM

[blazing raven]

cyrus > lance

[storm vector]

nobody uses drasna, if only they made the sides poison weak

[storm vector]

yeah

at least you can grid healthy healing

[long oyster]

Well Arc Lance tanked Leon's sides pretty well

[blazing raven]

bc at least his tm actually gives some good value for the hp cost

[long oyster]

And you get Healthy Healing from TM

And with 3/5 he has Recuperation 3

Cyrus can't tank shit

[storm vector]

well i was able to do 300k despite only having 1/5 arc pairs

dunno if thats good or nah but i'll take it over 140k on ghost/dark

[long oyster]

Arc Lance also gets endure from his TM

Bulky dragonite

[blazing raven]

im just trying to clear 200 for the yellow coin lmao

[long oyster]

And I'm offended by "Cyrus > Lance"

[blazing raven]

im not talking about arc lance

or i wouldve said cyrus > arc lance

og lance is atrocious

[storm vector]

lance with the 50% recoil TM for 6 gauge

[long oyster]

Oh

Yeah

[storm vector]

even agatha does better

[long oyster]

agreed

mb

[storm vector]

[blazing raven]

ur good

but yeah i have exactly 5 champ/battle facility d/g units

so i wouldve been forced into using og lance

except that i was informed i could actually unlock lodge lance in time

[storm vector]

should've gotten nita instead of 2/5ing morgan from BP

[blazing raven]

hence this

[long oyster]

Is your og lance invested

[storm vector]

i hate how you only get 1 master ticket every 3 months

its so slow

[blazing raven]

not at all. i got him from the 100 ticket pulls

[storm vector]

don't jinx it

he might leave you at 95% tmr

[long oyster]

rip

[blazing raven]

being so fr i am savescumming it every day

if i dont get max vibes on interaction 1 or 2 we reset and we gift as soon as max vibes end

[storm vector]

just buy all the items

[long oyster]

You can savescum lodge interactions leaving ?

[storm vector]

and gifts

[long oyster]

oh

F

[storm vector]

really isn't that expensive

[blazing raven]

basically, you force quit the app to fake a crash

then it refunds your items + interactions

[long oyster]

No no I know about that

I thought you could like

See the NPC leave and reset

And it wouldn't count

[blazing raven]

oh yeah no

its moreso a way to not get Totally screwed

[storm vector]

personally i don't really bother to minmax lodge

[long oyster]

I used to

[storm vector]

grinding dawn rn and only have silver left before im maxed out

[blazing raven]

im only doing it rn bc i need lance before this hse ends

[long oyster]

Because I wanted to like Lodge

[storm vector]

if only i got rika... sigh

[long oyster]

But NPC's keep leaving at topic 4 so

Stupid mechanic, I just stopped after 16

[storm vector]

theres the people out there that have like 5k levels on rosa or something

madmen, they are

anyways

[blazing raven]

im roughly halfway to unlocking all lodge units but i also have jasmine and skyla both at 85 to have gotten the yellow coins for my arc cyn, once i have all the units ive got access to unlocked i'll go back to the cynthia at 1k friendship quest

after cynthia 1k its rika 1k

[long oyster]

I respect the dedication

Couldn't be me

[blazing raven]

if they ever add riley to lodge

he also goes in the 1k pile

but yeah for the most part i started doing other lodge units bc i was like

wow i have No fairy units

and lodge lillie + lodge leaf are genuinely very helpful in that regard

see: water/fairy hse and me going 'oh god i have no fairy units'

if we get a rock hse coming down the pipeline i think i'll just cry tho

no raihan no steven, no lodge units to save me

[long oyster]

Fairy I have Gladion and Mina

I need to invest tho they both hella vanilla

As for Rock

Mix recently gave me BlueDactyl

I have a chance

[blazing raven]

hm. mix pity is 300

oh wait no its paid only but you still get 3 and 4s in the pool absolutely not

i return to ignoring mix

[blazing raven]

ok im at 9020bp. i think im safe to pick up nita and not be screwed if something arises urgently to need another super bp unit

[upper robin]

That wasn't too bad. I can definitely score higher.

[static oar]

I understand this take, but like, I was out of cell service for the whole first week

I am super grateful that I had a whole additional week to be able to participate and aim for top 100

It's nice to have more time than is needed to account for real life stuff

[cyan tusk]

N can def go higher

[upper robin]

are you talking to me?

[rough forum]

Some people also have a life yea

Not everyone can grind stages

Or even just prep weeks in advance

Like some nerds here

[cyan tusk]

Yessss

[upper robin]

yeah i could probably pre-sync at 400. they oneshot me on sync at that power level though

i imagine 3/5 ASC could go much higher

[hollow prism]

I have to get rid of Lucas here if i can

If i get insane luck on DCwally TM and i get Lucas Sync CD twice i could get a 3rd sync

But that’s a 1/25 on Lucas and 4 Wally MPRs

[knotty dew]

Honestly I'm quite happy with my 400k without 4 of the 5 meta damage dealers

[upper robin]

using maxie against maxie was fun

[knotty dew]

Be kinda boring if I just had those 4 though

[upper robin]

watching SEUN solarbeam does stupid damage was satisfying

[forest panther]

Str:

• 1000
• 650
• 460
• 750
• 460

@onyx crystal

[rough forum]

Not the 1/5 rika

[opaque nebula]

I'll take top 1000

[idle pelican]

Got to battle N last and have these left..what can work?

[long oyster]

Drasna

You can't use strikers on that fight

[acoustic quarry]

Personally touched this HSE day one, and then didn't came back to it, still top 250, fine for me

[static oar]

What's the highest str that Iris/Nate/Mallow can clear against Nita?

I did 750 before but I've been stuck on 800 for a while

I can get two syncs in before Nita does hers w/flinching

But I can't seem to survive the Earthquakes and Dazzling Gleams coming my way

Post-sync

The critical double flinch eludes me

[hollow prism]

What move levels are your units

Nate is the one that rly matters, you nuke with only him

If you roll for no Dazzling Gleam you should be able to try for 800 with optimal flinches from Iris, maybe a TM refresh

Nita’s EQ is a joke, especially with Ground Guard on Iris grid

Bc Mallow has team heal it’s straight up a dead move

[prime quiver]

Done!
My first successful 200k HSE!

Thankyou so much @outer whale for team suggestions!
I couldn't have done it without your help!

I did used some offtype pairs! I lost my nerves several times doing this waiting for the perfect RNG! Finally it is done!

[mortal timber]

🥳

[serene wagon]

[blazing raven]

we did it gamers B]

dont even care how bad of overkill this is

sad i cant quite fit endurance with potion mpr and danger dodge but

[oak fulcrum]

geez does maxie have a secret he10 or something

[blazing raven]

ok. so now we've got:

• maxie: bertha og cyn nita
• nita: clay cyrus lodge cyn
• zinnia: lodge rika lisia lodge lance
• leon: leon rika [tbd]
• n: courtney arc cyn bp zinnia

i could put naomi in on leon for additional ground dmg but

ryuki or drasna might be better

oh right leon i wanted to check if i had any aoe units left for the atk score

nice

can prob hike it a bit higher but

[graceful pike]

800

i tried it

pray that she doesn't do eq post sync

mallow can handle the crunches with dark guard

mostly you kill it before it kills you

[rain sierra]

Man, Maxie feels so bad in this. I'm at 250 and he can't survive the first sync without any defense buff

[static oar]

@graceful pike thanks for the input!

I'm gonna keep at it and hope for the best

[hollow prism]

1/5 FRoxanne and 1/5 ArcLance 🤡 no top 100 this time

Oh well save for next hs

If i really tried maybe i could get it but fk that

[open flame]

239k

Had to bust out limiteds just to hit minimums

#1020530656767385720 message

[night sleet]

I did 875 str maks was for me

[static oar]

But your team was with Arc Lance, right?

[night sleet]

After

Befor was nate

Since 900 was not possibel too clear str so i switch teams

[static oar]

Got it

These are my grids

[night sleet]

This my

[static oar]

I'll check those out

Interesting, you cleared at 875 even without Ground Guard on Iris?

[night sleet]

Yeap

[static oar]

Cool

[night sleet]

Iris need dc2

[static oar]

I have it

Did you sync with Iris at all at the end?

What type Guard for Mallow?

[night sleet]

Never only nate

Since he deal way more

But you can pick ground gaurd any way whit my grid

I never look on it🤣

[static oar]

Lol

[night sleet]

I use ground guard

But can be dark too

[static oar]

I'm gonna give your setup a try

For sure

[night sleet]

Depend wat moves they use more so hard now

[static oar]

Very true

[night sleet]

For me was ground

After i switch teams was dark🤣

[static oar]

That's relatable lol

[trim beacon]

Guys

I forgot about this event

Is it possible to make it to top 100 or no

IF I HAVE as lance 1/5

Save me the trouble pls

[oak fulcrum]

is lance your only arc suit?

[main pulsar]

Nope

You need a lot for top 100

[long oyster]

Top 100 is around 473k points atp

[tidal pine]

I have really nothing better to do today than improving my HSE score a bit

not so much happening in the game lately

or any games I play really

[night sleet]

Dena make new game so not expect alot in masters🤣

[rough ginkgo]

I thought this was Damage Challenge for a moment 😭

[mental blade]

Going over the grading spreadsheet. While I do, maybe I can fish for suggestions and advice.
My target score is 200k for the rewards. Master rank for the title would be nice but not a priority.
I'm open to candying Master Pairs (and Arc Pairs but I don't have any yet), if they would also make other content/rewards easier to win.

Looking like it's going to be...
Cynthia vs Maxie
Cyrus vs Nita
SS Serena vs Zinnia
Neo Nate vs Leon
Courtney vs N

[tiny ore]

atk debuffs neuter N

[mental blade]

A ground or dragon pair with Atk debuffs... Champion Iris!

Fills the Tech and Champion criteria, too! Thanks

That leaves the Support. Probably Rika, then, so Courtney has more Ground Zones to work with. So that's one team figured out...

[tiny ore]

weather setter is mandatory for maxie

otherwise fire blast murders you

[mental blade]

Cynthia's on the case, but I could certainly add Ingo to ensure the sand is up even in the first cycle

[cyan tusk]

Bertha can tank the stage too

[mental blade]

Let's see...

The middle three teams still require Techs; the second and third still require Champion/Facility

[mental blade]

Maybe this... Or maybe swap Nita and Lodge Lance

[serene wagon]

If I could raise Maxie up a bit, I would feel a bit better about this

[mental blade]

How hard is each fight relative to one another? Wanting to get an idea of what strength scores to use for the comfiest 200k I can get

Which means figuring out which ones I can inflate and which ones to lowball

[outer whale]

Maxie: a joke if arc cynthia is in the team

Nita: second hardest battle. You need to drop speed.

Zinnia: the hardest fight, special damage only, find a way to stop dragon ascent

SS Leon: incredibly easy if you have Arc Lance. Beware of eternabeam BEFORE sync

N: fairly easy as he's all physical. Make sure to prepare for bolt strike after sync

[mental blade]

And if I have zero arc pairs?

[mental blade]

Current team layout except probably swap Lodge Lance with Nita

[outer whale]

Maxie: get rid of sun and prepare for fire attacks, beware of sync if using ground zone

SS Leon: beware of Dragon zone unless you have NY clair.

N: debuffs help a lot

[long oyster]

How much str is that Nita run

[open flame]

Might be too late but we have a similar roster and I did this

#1128052735967764621 message

[mental blade]

I was planning on actually performing the run tomorrow, so this is still a good time! I'll check it out now...

Looks like 300 was your baseline... that's a good metric for me.

Thanks!

[open flame]

No arc pairs but I did use 1/5 NC Red

And yes!

[mental blade]

After hearing that Zinnia is the hardest, I can see why

[long oyster]

She sucks

Dont bother fighting her

She will snatch your soul

Shatter it

And gnaw on each shard

One by one

[open flame]

Also no guard skills in my run, just Vigilance

[mental blade]

Sounds like I'm lowballing the shit out of her Strength score (or also using Neo Red)

Even this is helpful

[paper mist]

damn, rank 401 even after redoing fights, i'm gonna drop out of top 500

[rain sierra]

I don't have much good dragon/ground, so I will just do 238k and be done with it

[lean cove]

Alright, I'm focusing on this again. Trying to get into top 10k. What can I do to improve score?

[neon prawn]

how many candies do you have

[lean cove]

Like 3 of each

I recall some changes with the later 3 battles that may help

[cyan tusk]

Well we can try to rearrange last 2 teams to make them better, you can swap arc Lance and rika to bump ground dmg, and Lucas and Zerena so you also have dragon damage for the dragon weak side

As it comes to the new Lucas - Lance - lisia team, you are literally using dragon zone boosted super effective B move against mid, so I’d focus the sides first, just using a giga impact and an hyper beam on the mid. I’d do Lance first sync sync, Lucas second and immediately after Lucas sync there has to be the hyper beam if Lucas is not able to end the mid by his own

[sage dawn]

Not the best score but i am pretty happy!

[serene wagon]

900

[cunning shore]

I am sitting exactly at 50 rn, I suppose I am safe top 100 right?
I don't need to try anymore

[paper mist]

Sure wish Lance and Cynthia had useful stuff at 2/5 so I could justify giving them 1 candy

[serene wagon]

I got pushed down to 97 so quickly

[paper mist]

4 candies is too much especially when I still need to get Steven from 1/5 to 4/5 for the debuffs

[serene wagon]

I really tried this time

[mortal timber]

Improved zinnia at 700 str with the power of para gambling

I can try climb a lillll bit more

[haughty haven]

I’ll be fine right?

[modern rivet]

Rip me for not having pmallow

[cunning shore]

Tomorrow you know for sure

[night sleet]

Lol you 79

Jesus

[haughty haven]

I can improve, but i refuse to suffering

[night sleet]

Suffer are 1-3 rank who stack max attack and hp

For 124+k points🤣

[paper mist]

I’m not sure what else to do to increase my score outside of candying Cynthia Steven and Roxanne and I don’t want to

[cyan tusk]

Well candying Steven or Cynthia is not a bad idea overall lol

[paper mist]

I mean candying them to 3/5 each and I don’t plan on using them ever again outside if LG

[thorny grove]

1000
800
550
1000
600

Anyone got any tips to increase my score? I’m on 100 rn. I’m willing to invest but not a lot.

My main thought of investment would be 3/5 Roxanne and 2/5 Lyra and try to improve my N score. I’d want to improve by around 20k because I feel like that’ll be safe

[outer whale]

Top 100 is 484k

[cyan tusk]

I think investing in Lyra is the safe bet rn

[modern rivet]

i am literally hanging at 97 w/ arc steven against nita

[paper mist]

How do you get 1k str against Maxie with 1/5 Cynthia, I could barely do 700 after a cake

[thorny grove]

I can explain in a bit. I’m driving right now.

[paper mist]

Put the phone down D:<

[long oyster]

FINE I'll improve Nita

Maaaaaan I wanted it to stop

[tidal pine]

I've been kinda stuck around here without doing additional investments 🫠

I actually could get AS Lance now (do want to get him in the first place anyways), but I'm trying if I can stay in top 100 without him first

[long oyster]

1000/800/350/1000/1000

[mortal timber]

Hmm that SS Leon team seems so familiar to me

Glad to see another gastrodon believer

[long oyster]

Everytime I improve Nita I almost get wiped
God damn

[tidal pine]

meanwhile there's me who's trying to improve Zinnia, but either get no Potion MPR's or I get hit by a nat crit on any post-sync move

[cyan tusk]

Potion mpr on Brendan is a lie

[haughty haven]

Improve a bit

I definitely will not candy Lyra just for top 100

Also @mortal timber

[visual kayak]

Stats are reduced for striker only applies to main role?

[haughty haven]

Yep, only main role

[visual kayak]

👍

Gio usable for challenge N?

[oak fulcrum]

I assume you mean variety gio?

ss gio absolutely not, variety is good if you can support its gauge

[visual kayak]

I lack the pharaoh pokemon

So trying to put this to use

[night sleet]

Yeap you can use him vs n

[oak fulcrum]

given that he only has a 4 gauge mode, as long as you can keep the gauge up for him he's very solid there

[night sleet]

I did whit this team

[warm kayak]

how hard is 200k on this one

doable in 1-2h?

although my units...

[outer whale]

depends on your roster.

this one is rough.

[warm kayak]

no tanks

i have Arc Cynthia 1/5

1/5 NC Nate

3/5 Zerena

and i'd say that's about it out of the notable ones

2/5 Iris Hydreigon

[outer whale]

Damage dealers are fine, but what's going to hurt your score are the other units.

[warm kayak]

this game got WAY too time intensive for my liking

it's like our reward went down but time needed quadrupled

[outer whale]

the rewards is more or less the same from other HSEs, the problem is they decided to choose the two worst typings for F2P players.

[warm kayak]

i was referring to the game as a whole

but yeah, these typings are rough

not many tanks

[outer whale]

thankfully, Bertha can be a tank.

you can go Bertha/Arc Cynthia/Hapu for Maxie and do incredibly well.

the biggest thing though, you need type guards for this event specifically.

vigilance won't mean anything if you're still gonna die in one hit from a noncrit. Type guards can mitigate this.

[warm kayak]

which ones hit the hardest?

[outer whale]

the battles? hard to say but Zinnia is notoriously the hardest since you need to use special damage

[warm kayak]

sounds like a job for Zerena

[outer whale]

yep, for Nate, you can go SS Leon for him.
For N, you can go Courtney
Nita is tricky, because you need someone to lower speed

my brain immediately went to lance instead of Nate

[warm kayak]

maybe Hiris?

wait not h

uhh

Iris Alt

[outer whale]

Ciris can't lower Speed

[warm kayak]

with a cookie she could

[long oyster]

4/5 can

[warm kayak]

was there one

[outer whale]

there is not.

[warm kayak]

darn, yeah no she's not 4/5

[outer whale]

if anything, i would use Ciris as debuffing support for Zerena

[long oyster]

Not her then

[outer whale]

On Zinnia

Courtney can be used on N, she can demolish him fairly easily

Nita is the only one you might have the most trouble because of either a roster issue, or just not having any supports to deal with this.

[long oyster]

I think Clay has bulldoze

[outer whale]

he could, but who's tanking?

they have no one to tank that are ground or dragon

if they go off type, best they're doing is about 10K

[long oyster]

The goal is 200k it shouldn't be a problem

[outer whale]

arc cynthia is being used for maxie
Zerena for Zinnia
Nate for SS Leon
Courtney for N

[long oyster]

She's not Zinnia who bullies you for existing, it's either that or Nita

[outer whale]

you COULD go Cyrus

Nita/Clay/Cyrus might work, but that'll have to be like.... 250 Str

and that's even if you HAVE Nita

[lean cove]

Thanks! I'll try this.

[warm kayak]

i will set it up and see how these teams do

[mortal timber]

❤️

[warm kayak]

i forgot about 2/5 Lucas

and to charge my phone... will prepare as much as possible and go to sleep early to hopefully still have energy after work to do the rest

[rough forum]

I did 330k in 2 hours

With even just 1 limited per stage you should take the sameish amount for 200k

You don't NEED tanks for 200k anyway

You can just kill stage before it attacks 2/3 times

Which is enough to grab 40-50k points from 200-250 STR, time and hp params

[hasty juniper]

Here's my roster, how do I bolt together five teams to get all rewards (is it still 200k?)

[rough forum]

Just arc cyn 3/5 nets you a pretty easy 100k on maxie

The rest you can lab out yourself

[hasty juniper]

100k? How much strength is that?

Ok so 400 strength was 59k

Not sure how you get her to almost double that

Sod the support sync and just assblast with her off the bat?

Ah well, it'll do

Only need 200k so, near 60k will do

And if not, we retry

[long oyster]

3/5 Arc Cyn gives you a very accessible 1000str run on Maxie

You're just gonna hate Fire Blast for the next decade

[rough forum]

Or you can do 6-700 and score 80-85k

Easily

[long oyster]

You also only start blasting damage after Maxie's first sync or your ground zone will kill you

[rough forum]

The alternative Is setting sand immediately and flinching for extra time so it ends before he syncs

But it's less optimal

[hasty juniper]

Ah ok

So ex sync, let maxie sync, sand up and go?

[rough forum]

Ye

[long oyster]

You can sand with anyone

Just not cynthia

[lean cove]

Wait, I think I misunderstood. Zerena on N? She's useless there

[cyan tusk]

Oh yeah you are right

She is useless btw

If you have any additional support just slap it in

[lean cove]

Yeah, trying Nita since I have her 2/5 EX already

[mortal timber]

I WON 1000 STR NITA

OMG

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO

[hasty juniper]

and there we go

200k off of four battles.

59475 Maxie (Arc Cynthia, Clay, Drake, 400 str)
49668 Zinnia (SS Serena, Lucas, Nita, 300 str)
47019 SS Leon (Drasna, Alt Iris, Pal Mallow, 200 or 250 str)
53004 N (Courtney, SC Lyra, Rika, 300 str)

still need to do Nita's battle lmao

[trim beacon]

How dare u

[long oyster]

How

[visual kayak]

what's the strat to clear maxie at 1000 points with Arc cynthia 1/5, bertha, and excadrill - Not seeing it

[mortal timber]

Literally gave my all to 1000 str clear Nita, once again i win, she loses

it was such a precise perfect run in everything, so smooth

[long oyster]

TM 4 times on Bertha then sand tomb sand slinger to lower his atk
Excadrill spams mudslap and potions
Trap all 3 with sand tomb then spam EQ. After Maxie synced, cynthia uses sandstorm and spams EQ again

Only use Cynthia TM when sides are dead

Your goal is to dodge as much as possible after maxie's 1st sync and finish before his 2nd

[thorny grove]

Ok sorry for taking so long I had gotten to work and immediately got rushed on.
So first things first get ready to press restart a bunch. If Maxie attacks with fire blast and camerupt uses flare blitz reset. Along with that if you get hit by heat wave that’s a reset, your Cynthia won’t survive sync.

Ingo dosent use TM until Maxie is -6 accuracy (or if you’re comfortable with 4 or 5). Just keep mud slapping and potion only when needed.

Bertha is double TM at the start and then sandstorm on turn 3 to make sure you can quad que Ingo sync (sandstorm runs out right after sync so you can’t get quad without resetting sand). After first sync you can start to use sand tomb (this works perfectly for your 4th sync to still have trap active on Maxie at the end.)

Cynthia is just equake until your second sync, which you use TM as her last move before her sync to get a +5 sync. Finally make sure you use sandstorm AFTER Maxie’s sync so he dosent get ground zone. It’s also good to que her after Bertha for additional sync move up.

Final general notes: Its ok for Bertha to miss a crit on her first sync but second absolutely needs it no matter what.
The more misses and potion MPR the better.
If Bertha dosent get an MPR then Ingo needs to finish off her crit with his TM before she starts syncing. It is good for him to use both TM after -6 accuracy and is not at risk of dying to fire blast connecting (fire blast will do about 90% damage if it lands after his first sync.

Here’s the grids too

Hope that helps

[thorny grove]

Nice. What were your grids I may need to up my Nita score

[mortal timber]

on my way to swap units so i am going for more, once i am done i am sharing

resetted a few stages nita included, going for other strats

[thorny grove]

Gl man wish you the best

[mortal timber]

❤️

balancing units around without half of the dragon roster, quite rough but i may be creating another miracle

[lean cove]

I reworked my teams but I'm still only in Ultra 1. What else could I do?

It has to be that Nita battle. There are no good units at all for that

[blazing raven]

ok well

my lodge lance team is not as durable as intended

i dont really want to 5* him

[blazing raven]

zinnia hitting dragon pulse crit through -6acc and +2 evasion makes me homicidal

[empty gazelle]

I guess I should start considering teams for the event.

Goal is to try and get 200k points total, so ~40k per stage.

[crude iron]

“Tank? Dragonite can do that.” My answer to Maxie stage lol. I just turned an accident into something I kept doing on purpose

Surprised how well lances dragonite can take hits

(no clue if it was the "optimal" stage to use him in but, eh, nearly at 200k with only 3 stages killed so)

[blazing raven]

get bent zinnia

i could keep pushing but im past 200k and all are over 30

strengths are 150 125 75 150 325

[visual kayak]

threw the 110-120k run in the trash

[crude iron]

just gonna vibe with 250k

strengths
390
200
200
300
500

low rng runs, barring damage rolls on lance's team

[lean cove]

Now this I'm okay with. I had to use an updated Hydro Pump grid for Palkia and even optimize for Gastrodon support

[thorny grove]

What stage is that? Is that N?

[visual kayak]

yeah

that run had like 5 misses

I gave up and just took an 800 clear

which only took 5 mins lol

that round was at almost 6.5

[sage dawn]

Can You guys help me make a team against Nita?

Hydro pump doesnt do that much

[lean cove]

Did you grid for it? It was doing okay-ish damage at +230 or whatever I did

[sage dawn]

Oh i was trying in 300 maybe i was too optimistic

[lean cove]

Yeah, he ain't that good

but the team comp is wonk

what's the plan? maybe I'm not getting it

oh I did +170 lol. Still better than +100 from before

[stray comet]

I don't know how I would build a team for this 😭

This is what I have so far

[lean cove]

man, it would take me a whole minute to scroll down to team 92 with how laggy it is

anyway, I think you can copy my team for Nita

oh yeah, it's already the same

[stray comet]

really? It doesn't lag much for me. I do have a newer phone though

[lean cove]

they won't optimize for Pixel phones, evidently, so performance is terrible

Anyway, here are the grids I used

Palkia Hydro Pump grid is like the one from the list, but I took out the accuracy tiles because Cynthia provides accuracy. I also have him with + energy, but you could probably drop the sync power tile

Oh, crit as well because she provides enough of it. Then just Palkia TM twice, I think the HP recovery kicks in and you can heal for the score. Then you can land Hydro Pumps with good power. Keep attacking and you should be able to pre-sync clear center. Sides might hit hard with AOE, but they should be weakened enough from sync that you can take them out before they attack

Ah and for the Maxie team, I liked the suggestion I was given, which is to tank with Bertha. She has a lot of good support tiles in her grid to allow for that. Serviceable recovery in sand. None of my syncs with her ever critted even though I was at +3, but I bet it's stronger than Cynthia's. That one turned into one of my better scores, so there should be room to work that one into something good.

[hasty zenith]

Huh, I fell off top 500, if only my Ryuki was 3/5 I'd try to reclaim my position

[modern rivet]

Rip me

500k is at rank 90 btw

[trim beacon]

How

Are people getting 500k

Yeah nvm not trying anymore LOL

[glossy ravine]

This didn't age well lol

[trim beacon]

I would need to candy Halloween Roxanne, nita and LANCE

[glossy ravine]

I already predicted 500k min already lol

[trim beacon]

AND NATE

Helll nooo

How r the points so HIGH

I thought the lack luster of dragon and ground supports would make people STRUGGLE

Someone explain to me PLSL

[glossy ravine]

Because arc fairs

[night sleet]

Mean we have too many💰💰💰 ritch players🫢

Dena need increase scout points 500 its too low😆😆

[trim beacon]

You're making me cri

[night sleet]

Mean alot spend gems in banners

Since 1/5 arc never help score this high if lack others units

[glossy ravine]

first time since the banners I missed top cut, lawl

[night sleet]

End its stil 23h left

So it will be over 500k

[glossy ravine]

i wonder what the next types will be tho

[tidal pine]

Personally expecting the likes of Steel, Rock or Ice

[night sleet]

Poison?

[cunning shore]

What's current top 100 cutoff

Can I just ignore hse now

[glossy ravine]

i don't have the necessary poison roster, lawl

[glossy ravine]

500k

[cunning shore]

Sheesh

That's close to comfort

[raw stump]

What points should I put when using the 3 birds?

[rough forum]

0 because they give 0 points

[night sleet]

Since they can easy beat zinnia😂

[knotty dew]

Lmao

People just conditioned to run them for everything

[hasty juniper]

Probably just a "fuck this I'll get my 200k on the other four"

Or "fuck this, gems and dip"

[tidal pine]

I remember doing that once before so I use my actual teams later

(only because I haven't planned any actual teams at the time)

[outer whale]

If it helps, you can go even higher on N if you use electric guard on your tank.

Courtney can straight up Nuke N fairly well, it's the sides that might be problematic. Especially haxorus iron head

[storm sinew]

cobbled together some teams real quick

Maxie: Ingo, DC Wally (?), Lodge Volo
Nita: Nita, Clay, Cyrus?
Zinnia: Drake, Lucas, Zinnia (nuker?)
SS Leon: Ryuki (Shell trap?), NC Nate, Lisia (Tank???)
N: Bertha, Courtney, Drasna (?)

might use the DC tickets to 3/5 wally

[storm sinew]

these teams are so cooked XD zinnia is doing Literally Nothing

hm resetting for aerial ace crit buffs and low strength helped... ill just increase strength on like the NC nate team and the coutney teams ig

i only need 200k anyway

[cunning shore]

Zinnia is trash

It's sad but true

Zinnia is the definition of a Trash Unit that has no logic behind it's kit

Somehow she's the hardest stage to beat though

[ornate turret]

The same score lmao

So 1-1 and 3, no rank 2 title for this HSE

[storm vector]

well this is it don’t think I’ll make it to top 1k this time

since this only puts me at 1378 rn

[cunning shore]

Ayooo
Do you think it's because they have all params max except time one?

So they cleared max everything

But the time one ends in 0 anyways

[stray comet]

oh that suuuucks

[stray comet]

Thank you so much for the tips!!!

[stray comet]

syncing with Bertha? Really?

[ornate turret]

Yeah probably but the same HP left is crazy, so maybe at 100% HP

[cunning shore]

Yeah

[stray comet]

Also, wouldn't it be better to save Bertha for N?

[upper robin]

So close

[storm vector]

I highly doubt that they would score a tie with the exact same team

damage param exists and damage rolls exist

if one player gets a low roll they’d score more than someone who got a slightly worse damage roll

even if they were doing the exact same Strat

[tulip reef]

Thoughts?

And yeah the Maxie battle i couldn't figure champion/facility foe

[outer whale]

@tulip reef N is overkill. Move cynthia to Maxie and swap Rika with Ingo and you'll have an amazingly easy time

You can add Courtney as well instead of Fall roxanne or put them together for an easy 700 str battle

[stray comet]

If I move Bertha to Maxie who should replace her on N's team?

[upper robin]

100k points and i didn't even steal the team from someone else

[tulip reef]

Probably will swap Bertha for courtney

I will note my ingo is only 1/5

[cunning shore]

There is no damage param this time around no?
And there is a cap to everything
So if they all hit the cap, they can all get the same score

[tulip reef]

Would depend time spent too

Unless somehow it's done at the earliest time

[tidal pine]

I love Disarm 9

[outer whale]

If you're wanting to do 800 str or even 1000 str (1/5 Arc cynthia can do that easily.) Don't swap bertha because she's going to be the tank.

If you're just going for 500 or so, then go ahead.

Ingo is there for mud slap. If you do want to take someone out, replace Ingo for Hapu and place Ingo on the N team so that you can have healing options and accuracy drops

unironically, Arc cynthia will legit carry Hapu, she will only be there for mud slap acc drops

[upper robin]

I'm pretty happy with this. Arc suits go hard.

[tulip reef]

Wouldn't mind going that high but at the end of the day 200k is what I need.

If I can aim towards 3-500k I wouldn't mind

Definitely could use the feathers

[tidal pine]

ngl some of those teams are pretty stacked

I probably would suggest switching Pal.Mallow and NY Clair with each other in different teams

[tulip reef]

Can try that too

Definitely like having options. Thanks guys!

Also both mallow and clair are 1/5

[tidal pine]

I used 1/5 Pal.Mallow personally for Nita at 790 strength and she works fine

I can't say how NY Clair handles Zinnia because I don't have her

[mortal timber]

If I have enough time tonight I can reach close or precise 520k

Will see what happens, I found a genius solution to a stage

[tidal pine]

can't wait to see the solution

[mortal timber]

Lemme just drop the name

Lodge fucking Rika

My probable saviour

[tidal pine]

another Lodge Water/Ground Pokemon user

[mortal timber]

I already reached 513k points by rounding Zinnia's score to 92k

[upper robin]

can you even survive 1000 str's sync at full defenses?

[lean cove]

Not sure how. Opponent sync already one-shots everyone and I can't get in two syncs before their one. So if I sync first with Courtney, it doesn't do enough to one-shot. I got lucky enough in my run that the continuous attacks afterwards were able to finish him off

[lean cove]

Stronger sync under sand. Should be much better than an old unit's Mega evolution sync.

[storm vector]

people keep saying that arc cyn can 1k str Maxie with relative ease at 1/5 and I look at their runs and it’s all ingo and EX hapu

meanwhile I don’t have ingo and my hapu is 4*

so I have to sit at 567 str with ss gio

where did I go wrong hmm

[lean cove]

Can't even 5* Hapu? What do you do with all your 4* upgrades from pulls or monthly converts?

[storm vector]

went to anni raihan

no dice here

[outer whale]

Yes.

[outer whale]

Bertha has sand castle 2 alongside Sand slinger 9. Lower Maxie's attack by -5, everyone can survive sync

They'll be at 10%ish hp, but maxie doesn't do aoe, his sides do which will die from EQ anyways

That's where acc drops come into play

[upper robin]

wait i didn't know we're talking about maxie. i used asc on N because she's not a striker.

[outer whale]

I'm referring to maxie

N can be done with courtney or fall roxanne easily

It's better to use the rebuff to make the non-super effective battles easier

[upper robin]

1k?

[outer whale]

yes

But 1k requires SC Lyra

[upper robin]

aww man i did it all wrong

[outer whale]

For N specificially

[outer whale]

What strength were you doing before and what strength now? i gotta head back to work so may not respond as fast.

[lean cove]

270

[stray comet]

Who do I sync with first?

[lean cove]

I did Ingo first synced he has Adrenaline 1. Then I did Cynthia for Mega damage boost. Then Bertha the hopes of nuking the rest. But I never did because my crit never procd so I had to finish off the battle with all our attacks

[stray comet]

Oh okay!
