High Score

[cunning shore]

This is one is a no brainer

She's like mini-steven

[sullen pier]

Me with 70/70 Whitney:

[haughty haven]

Tbf i only care about favorite mons anyway

Cant wait for Spheal Pair and tạm biệt play this game more

[sullen pier]

[mortal timber]

As soon as tomorrow we get result, I declare over my HSE participation

Streak intact, 8/8, 5th Anni medal, we quit and go casual

I'll be there for who needs a hand tho, I can at least guarantee that

[thorny grove]

I had a whole explanation but honestly I couldn’t find it in the chat.
Essentially set up with Bertha TM and sandstorm so Ingo can tank and also quad que after first sync. Arc Cynthia is just equake, second sync with her, and after Maxie’s sync then set up sandstorm to set up zone whenever it isn’t up. And then rush Maxie with two syncs from Bertha. If all is done correctly and you can get to second Bertha sync before Groudon escapes being trapped then you have a good shot. So long as your syncs crit from Bertha it’s an easy win.
I did need a bit of luck for the great score I got because I was able to get misses and potion MPR and be a pretty damn good health

[hollow prism]

Sorry, what?

You lost me. Were yall actually syncing with Bertha on an ArCynthia team? 💀

[rough forum]

Cyn carries so hard she doesn't NEED to sync

Kappa

[hollow prism]

She has

+10 SYNC UP

WHAT

[rough forum]

"Kappa"

[thorny grove]

Bertha’s just got a better sync idk

[rough forum]

[hollow prism]

Why would you not just pop TM and delete Maxie out of existence

[thorny grove]

She did more damage than Cynth

[hollow prism]

There is a -5% chance EVEN AFTER AOE that that’s true

[thorny grove]

I used ACynth TM first turn

[hollow prism]

Why

[thorny grove]

I mean AOE isn’t that big a deal for the stage they’re taken out easily by equake

It didn’t matter much?

[hollow prism]

Use sand tomb twice, then sandstorm 3rd move

Then you use the eq, set sand after Sync 2 and tm for sync 3

[thorny grove]

There just wasn’t a use for me to use it there when I’m syncing with Cynthia and Bertha after Ingo. Why make my non sync buffed attacks do more when I can make my later sync buffed attacks do more

Plus Maxie’s Sync hurts ;-;

[rough forum]

She should definitely not

Cyn has 5million spread at 3/5

[hollow prism]

Nah i mean why not preserve TM until late to make your later sync dmg be larger

[rough forum]

Bertha has 7 single target

[hollow prism]

No like i get it

[rough forum]

This without accounting from the sync up next...

[hollow prism]

You want Single target to supplement cynthia’s one weakness of only being AOE and leaving mid alive too long

But like

[rough forum]

So cyn is 10mil AoE with +10 syncup

[hollow prism]

Bertha? 💀

[rough forum]

Or smth like that

[hollow prism]

That ain’t it bro

[rough forum]

Well again

7 mil is really good

But it precludes you tanking tiles

Which are better when making Cynthia sync

Especially since making Cyn sync will kill sides so buddy can 100% mid

[thorny grove]

By the way. Bertha’s is 2 times better

And that’s with sync up next 10

[rough forum]

Is your Cyn 1/5

If so I can understand

Because 3/5 has haymaker + sand 5s

[thorny grove]

Yeah she is. That was the whole thing I did 1k like this

[rough forum]

Also +75 sync bp

[rough forum]

Then yeah I get that

If she's 1/5 her sync will be quite weak

[thorny grove]

Yeah, at 3/5 hers is def better. I just was trying not to use any items this time around and then used it all anyways lol. But I needed it for later stages so I’m glad I didn’t use em on her. I’ll build her up slowly.

Especially with this one I’m hanging up the towel, I’m done gunning for top 100 it’s stressful and I’m just not enjoying this mode much anymore.

I think this stage was the only one I enjoyed because I had to come up with my plan by myself. The other stages mostly felt like bashing my head into a wall because no progress was being made.

[oak fulcrum]

ngl I don’t remember if I even used Cynthia’s TM against Maxie and she still deleted the stage

[night sleet]

You don’t need hear tmp

If all was traped

[oak fulcrum]

I have 5/5 so trapping was not a problem, iirc I was at 10 SyMUN when I would have clicked TM so I just opted for more damage

[knotty dew]

Don't even have Cynthia feelings

Did have to set up +9 stacks for Ciris sync to delete Leon though 😂

[scarlet summit]

Lol, what the why?

It has to be the Holiday one right? Not the 4*?

I guess aggravation is great, but idk what else is good on her

[rough forum]

The 4* nukes hard even without ex

Also she's a great gauntlet unit

[scarlet summit]

Dang what lol

[cyan tusk]

So next reset we will unveil next hse

[long oyster]

not ice not ice not ice not ice not ice not ice not ice not ice not ice not ice not ice not ice

[thorny grove]

And the results are in. Ice!

Just ice

[long oyster]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[graceful pike]

Mono Ice?

REALLY?

oh god

[thorny grove]

No no I’m joking

Unless…

https://tenor.com/view/frye-splatoon3-deep-cut-eyebrow-raise-what-gif-26745590

[tidal pine]

I’m omega skipping Ice HSE

(Or at least do 200K and then dip)

[cyan tusk]

Grusha is not getting 4 candies from me for ice hse

[cunning shore]

Never

If it's Ice I ain't investing in no one

I already have 3/5 Red and Irida

That's maximum Investment

Thanks

[shy flower]

Gonna rock the Ice HSE with triple Candice and non-EX Dennis

[paper mist]

idt we'll get any more mono types any time soon since a lot of the unused types still suffer from lack of pairs especially supports

just look at how people struggled here and with ghost/dark already

still I too would not like Ice because that's the type I'm missing the most of and I'd rather have Argenta over Grusha for the Select

[tidal pine]

I’m missing so many notable Ice pairs to even try

Including NC Red (who I might pick-up when he reruns)

[paper mist]

I'm just missing SS N, Holiday Nessa, Grusha and SSilver

even have Vorelei thanks to Mix

[cunning shore]

They're not gonna do mono or repeats I believe

The number of remaining types are even

Meaning they can pair them all

Probably start repeats after that

With FIRE GRASS COMBO GODDAMN

Or will they do new repeats to mix things up

The potential is big

Like water + poison instead of fairies

Dark and fairy

Ghost and ground

Dragon and fire
Etc

Genuinely think we're getting a Steel + something though

I want to see results now

[paper mist]

yeah they will have to do repeats eventually cause I think there's only 8 types left? which would only be 4 more HSE which is til May?

Normal, Fighting, Poison, Ice, Steel, Flying, Rock, Bug

I feel like Fire+Grass might be chaotic lol

[night sleet]

It will replace hse whit raid mode

When for more energy need spend gems:)

[outer whale]

Fighting Steel

I was right on steel..... did not expect fighting....

[night sleet]

Yeap fight steel:) strange combo

Arc steven cary

[empty gazelle]

How cooked am I?

[night sleet]

200k is easy

[empty gazelle]

200k is easy

so I'm mega-cooked, got it

[ornate turret]

Having 5 MF/AS is not cooked lmao

[night sleet]

Not cooked but no chance for top100 : you have 2 good teams

[hollow cove]

Well no top 500 without Arc Steven

or Lear LOL

[night sleet]

Rooster is good . Only issue is move lv

[grand perch]

Fighting steel huh

[night sleet]

If you have key unit 3/5 top100 rooster

[grand perch]

At least I’m good for Support this time lol

[hollow cove]

And I used all my common candies on Lance so even if I get Steven he wouldn’t be at his best

[grand perch]

And I just realized both types have the MC as type Master from BP haha

[hollow cove]

I’m fine on titles though lol

nbd if I miss this one

[thorny grove]

FIGHTING STEEL??? BROTHER WE ARE NOT GONNA HAVE GAUGE EVER

[empty gazelle]

Where's the 5th Master Fair?

[thorny grove]

I’m glad I just decided top 500 is enough I don’t even have units invested in fighting nor do I have all the fighting types.

[hollow prism]

Yo i’m calling it right now

Summer Tate is gonna go fkn crazy

You all might laugh at me, but wait until the “Ally Physical Damage reduction” stage gets revealed

[empty gazelle]

I just wanna get to 200k, but I don't think I can.

[hollow prism]

My fighting is basically Max except Diantha

[cunning shore]

Wait next hse steel fighting?

[hollow prism]

Steel is lacking a bit

And yes

[cunning shore]

I knew steel was coming it was too obvious

[hollow prism]

I have a lotta steel 1/5s

[cunning shore]

Same

[hollow prism]

But i have enough of them at high to be fine

[cunning shore]

Save candies

[hollow prism]

And i have Cynthia Bianca Rei Hop all 3/5

[modern rivet]

steel and fighting, basically you'll need ss lear and arc steven

[cunning shore]

Lear gonna be eating some candies today

[hollow prism]

Also I have VThorton 3/5 which gives me a HUGE advantage

[modern rivet]

they gonna have a special only stage

[hollow prism]

VThorton is VERY rare

[cunning shore]

F i forgot i own this guy

1/5 tho

[hollow prism]

VThorton at 3/5 is a flincher

Also just a busted unit

And free gauge

I think i can get top 100 this HS

[idle plinth]

I might actually try hard for the next HSE

[hollow prism]

I’m gonna commit hard

I have Rei, Tate, SSLear, Hop, and Bianca and Riley for dmg

And all of those except Tate rn are 3/5

[royal tiger]

Yeeeeeeeet lets go

[hollow prism]

Oh i also have SCShauna 3/5 too

[modern rivet]

she's gonna be insane

[hollow prism]

That unit’s def gonna be a stage check

Shauna is just loaded with utility out the ass

[cunning shore]

Holy shit I am missing shit ton of units
But I also got shit ton of units

[hollow prism]

I’m missing VERY little

The 1/5 syndrome will try to kill me but i think it’s gonna fail

Especially with “The Lillie that shouldn’t have existed”

[cunning shore]

1/5 > 0/5

[hollow prism]

The only units that i have 1/5 that i rly wish i had more of are Poppy and Gloria

But tbh those are not critical 💀

[ornate turret]

Oh that was og steven not AS, mb, the point still stands tho. You have multiple MFs, 200k is not a problem unless you’re bad bad at team building

[haughty haven]

Tbh 1/5 Poppy should already bonk hard

Unlike 1/5 Gloria

[hollow prism]

Idek if poppy makes it tbh

[haughty haven]

[cunning shore]

I think i wouldn't use either

[hollow prism]

Poppy’s not that great in this pool tbh, with Lear and Fighting pairs

[cunning shore]

Gloria is a gauge eater and only starts being alright 3/5

[hollow prism]

She prob gets the axe

Gloria is just 🤡

[tidal pine]

Fighting and Steel is interesting

[haughty haven]

Nah, she need fk 4/5 to be usable

[hollow prism]

If you use Gloria we all know why, and we all know how fun you were during the old prestige

[tidal pine]

Both are types I do have the units for it

[haughty haven]

That where she gets Haymaker

[modern rivet]

they'll probably have getting enemies paralyzed as a condition this time

[hollow prism]

Prestige whale moment

[cunning shore]

Back then her grid was non-expanded

[night sleet]

Not sure about para

[hollow prism]

Did she not have Haymaker?

[cunning shore]

Nope

[royal tiger]

soo basically... 3/5 ss lear? xD

[hollow prism]

EWWWWWWWW

WHAT THE FUCK

WHY

WHY WOULD YOU WHALE ON THAT

[modern rivet]

nvm there ain't even 5 units to apply status in that roster

[haughty haven]

4/5 for Haymaker

[royal tiger]

v.thorton gaming :>

[cunning shore]

Yeeeh i am candying him as we speak i just wanted confirmation it's steel

[hollow prism]

Lear is cracked out the ass

[modern rivet]

actually we do, corless/v thorton/poppy/cynthia/seasonal tate

[royal tiger]

i can 3/5 rei too but, i dislike him.

[hollow prism]

He lowers sp atk on enemies too right?

[cunning shore]

Rei is so good though

[royal tiger]

we'll have to see the gimmicks

[modern rivet]

hopefully he doesn't get butchered like renegade cynthia

[hollow prism]

I struggle to find a way Rei isn’t a top 3 unit

[cunning shore]

Wait how good is Argenta?

[royal tiger]

like thorthon is awesome, but i've got 2 field candies, and i'm leaning towardss akari and geeta.

[royal tiger]

pmun stacking

[night sleet]

Argenta will be one off top sups

[modern rivet]

argenta is basically discount arc steven

[hollow prism]

I stand by that RCynthia was only gonna be ok even if she didn’t get butchered

[cunning shore]

At 1/5¿

[night sleet]

Arc steven argenta key steel sups

[haughty haven]

Mine is ..... ok i guess

[hollow prism]

Rei is def a step up from RCynthia lol

He ain’t getting shafted

[modern rivet]

you gonna be using both for this high score thou

[royal tiger]

jusst pmun stacking, crit, atk, aand defenses ...... and protect.

[idle plinth]

That Jasmine I picked up from years ago will finally have use!

[haughty haven]

oh wait, i forgot i just had Lear yesterday

[night sleet]

My rooster

[cunning shore]

Me who skipped selecting Scizor

[hollow prism]

🐔

[haughty haven]

Me who got her from daily

[cunning shore]

Sounds good enough

[royal tiger]

we dont kno the gimmicks yet, just save your candies for when they drop the stuff. inb4 they maake ss lear unplayable in the thing ;x

[cunning shore]

[empty gazelle]

Hi my name is ArranosGrey, I'm bad bad at team building.

[royal tiger]

stares at SSR Cynthia

[glossy ravine]

Fighting Steel

my fighting roster is a complete disaster

[cunning shore]

Your roster just called me poor in 7 different languages

[glossy ravine]

and I have no Lear

oh well

another missed high score for me

[cunning shore]

You have 4 days to get lear

[modern rivet]

if we do get ONE special only stage, who's gonna be carrying besides ss lear?

[cunning shore]

Break the bank

One good heist

[cunning shore]

Tate, Raihan

Basically the only 3 special hitters (Thorton if he deals good damage)

[hollow prism]

Is there anyone that adas didn’t call poor?

[night sleet]

My is not the best since need lv up or candy some🤣 not realy want do it haha

[haughty haven]

Imagine using Raihan

[hollow prism]

Raihan is uh

🤡

[night sleet]

Sure rose will be good

[modern rivet]

how will sc diantha's sync work?

[cunning shore]

Reliant on friends

[night sleet]

Since rose have 3 diffrent type moves

[cunning shore]

I got lots of 1/5s

[hollow prism]

Yeah, if you want the fight to be longer and more painful than a shit after 3 AM taco bell

[cunning shore]

This is gonna be rough

[night sleet]

Rose have free move

[modern rivet]

rose is gonna be turn 1 flinch bot

[hollow prism]

“Reliant on Friends” assumes his teammates can carry his ass

[glossy ravine]

sounds like skill issue, though dupes matter

[cunning shore]

So it I were to choose between Poppy and Rose right now
Rose would be the answer in your eyes, Adam?

[glossy ravine]

I think Rose's gauge issues are heavily exaggerated

[glossy ravine]

wait until the actual HS comes

before deciding

[cunning shore]

Hey he can dish out some special damage

[glossy ravine]

they might favor some units

[hollow prism]

Yeah Rose is def better, but the BOGO (i think that’s what he has?) matters

[modern rivet]

argenta helps him a ton, not sure for longer battles thou

[haughty haven]

Ai 1/5 i'l choose Poppy tbh

[hollow prism]

He’s totally unviable without the free move

[night sleet]

Rose is better

For hse

[glossy ravine]

MGR9 is good enough, just that you need to run Selene with him

remember we're not in a 4 gauge meta necessarily

[cunning shore]

The different opinions

[night sleet]

But 5/5 when have free move

[glossy ravine]

I've played arc steven rose + selene

the gauge is perfectly fine, lol

[hollow prism]

Rose Selene sounds slower than Anni Lillie RCynthia comps

💀

[glossy ravine]

even without the freebie

selene has no gauge tho

[cunning shore]

I ain't ever candying a unit from 1/5 to 5/5

[glossy ravine]

is 0/4 vs 3/2

[hollow prism]

Sure

[glossy ravine]

• the occasional gaugeless

[night sleet]

Then 1/5 poppy better then rose

[cunning shore]

If i already had it at 3/5
I would consider it

[hollow prism]

Also 3/2 gauge on ALillie RCynthia is wild

[glossy ravine]

if there is a ground weak steel stage

Rose value goes up by a lot

so there's that to consider

[night sleet]

Ground rock

[glossy ravine]

mfw rock weak steel and fighting types

lol wut

[night sleet]

Max move hit all

[cunning shore]

There certainly will be ground

[hollow prism]

Ground weak is likely

[cunning shore]

Dunno about Rock though

[hollow prism]

Rock weak is crazy

The Skarmory stage gonna go wild

[glossy ravine]

ground weak sides probably, a ground weak middle might not be that easy to come by

[cunning shore]

There is no steel or fighting type mon that loses to rocks

[night sleet]

Hard tell wat dena cooking

[hollow prism]

Skarmory

[cunning shore]

Other than that

Lol

[night sleet]

Yeap argenta and skarm

Can be rock weak

[hollow prism]

Hey Skarmory is not off the table lol

That’s 100% possible for mid

[night sleet]

Yeap

[cunning shore]

True fair enough

[night sleet]

Then dady rose

[hollow prism]

Ground mid is prob more likely tho

I’d expect Flying, Psychic, Ground, Fire, and idk what else

[cunning shore]

Shouldn't fighting types really shine

[empty gazelle]

Here's my actual roster.

With all the missing gaps.

[cunning shore]

Since Fighting will most likely be SE vs steel

[hollow prism]

Problem is we have 4 of them that don’t suck

💀

[cunning shore]

NC Hop
Rei
SC Diantha
NC Bianca
To name a few

[hollow prism]

Riley could be fine but you’re coping a bit

[cunning shore]

DDs

[haughty haven]

Cant wait to reset Rei Tm mpr for evasion all team

[hollow prism]

You’re missing the best Fighting unit in the game

Also SCDiantha is slightly cope

[cunning shore]

I am talking damage dealer wise

[hollow prism]

Oh

Riley is the budget

Bianca is not primary dmg

[cunning shore]

Bianca is everything

[hollow prism]

It’s rly mainly Rei and Hop

[cunning shore]

[hollow prism]

Bianca isn’t doing the beating up tho

[cunning shore]

She evades, heals, rebuffs, etc

[hollow prism]

She does literally everything else

“She evades”

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

[cunning shore]

What you clowning for 😭

[hollow prism]

We all know how FUN evasion is

🤡

[cunning shore]

That's part of what she does

[haughty haven]

She is everything except broken dmg

[cunning shore]

Ridicure 3

[hollow prism]

Ik it’s good, but still

EVASION

[haughty haven]

But she’ll make other Fighting dmg dealer more broken

[hollow prism]

The evasion will still make me break my phone screen

[haughty haven]

At least she is consistent with evasion buff

[hollow prism]

That is true

[glossy ravine]

My Steel roster is pretty decent but no Lear will cost me

[haughty haven]

Look at 4/5 Rei’s Tm that buff +2 evasion for all team

[hollow prism]

No lear is nightmare

[glossy ravine]

meanwhile this is an outright disaster

lmao

[hollow prism]

If we get a Physical reduction stage ur all the way in bone city

[glossy ravine]

So no more HS for me

[hollow prism]

Ew that’s nasty

[haughty haven]

Imagine Fighting weaks but hate Physical

[hollow prism]

Ye ur cooked lol

[haughty haven]

SC Diantha:

[hollow prism]

WALLY FOCUS BLAST

💀

[haughty haven]

Nah

MC Sol Focus Blast

[glossy ravine]

I only got top 100 on the first wo

water/fairy and ghost/dark

and now I'll just miss the rest

I didn't top 100 the others either

[hollow prism]

How did you take my bad idea and make it even worse lmao

I applaud you

[hollow prism]

Bro how do you have like, every steel in the game except for the ones that deal damage 😭

Ur gonna deal no dmg at all

[glossy ravine]

you mean the ones that deal special damage

it's just Lear

Poppy is not that good, I thik Rose is a better unit

but yeah, missing Special Thorton and Tate and Lear is a pain

I need to rely on caked Raihan to save my ass or something lmao

but yeah, idt I'll do this HS anyway

my roster is just bad

[knotty dew]

I'm missing a lot of the damage dealers

5/5 arc Steven gonna have to carry

[glossy ravine]

fighting stuff is gonna be more important I feel

[hollow prism]

That ain’t it

[hollow prism]

Depends on what you mean by that

Bc Steven is in this pool as well

So for general utility not the case

[glossy ravine]

yeah but who doesn't have steven at this point

at least if you're seriously chasing it

[hollow prism]

A lot of people bc they pulled Cynthia instead

Bc they’re not smart

[glossy ravine]

I mean it depends

cynthia is "stronger" in some respects

[night sleet]

So this got? And wat about other ones? Hmm

If we get 2 top1?

Would be stupid lol

[hollow prism]

Nah it would be funny

If i was one of those 2 players i wouldn’t be mad about the dupe

Honestly makes it more unique

[hollow prism]

Nah, especially for the average player

Steven as a backbone for a roster is just going to be better

And he’ll easily take 1000 on a stage here too

[night sleet]

This title rank 1-3 should be uniq

If both have mean even 100 can have if score same

Wat is kinda not it

[knotty dew]

Not bad without 4/5 meta pairs

[red owl]

Fighting/Steel

Finally doing types I don't have to invest much

Only Argenta and maybe Summer Hilda would need investment

[night sleet]

Summer hilda😒

[red owl]

Anybody except the bp supports please

[outer whale]

Oh. Next HSE is cooked lmao

[red owl]

I'm saving tickets for Morgan

[night sleet]

You wait for grass hse😁

[shy flower]

[royal tiger]

what an impressive spread

hrm missing

[graceful pike]

Well dammit

Should have picked either steels from pf selects

Damn you ss gio you trash

[outer whale]

Gonna be honest, despite missing poopy and NC Hop, steel and Fighting are incredibly diverse enough to not feel too bad on missing a master fair

[graceful pike]

Rate my roster

Will scout for poppy from mix

[night sleet]

Top 10000

[graceful pike]

Lol

[night sleet]

All 1/5😭

No ex

[graceful pike]

It's from the dex so of course it's only showing 1/5 lol

[night sleet]

Then top100 like my

For more need more invest and alot resests😘

[mortal timber]

Good morning

New types announced?

[haughty haven]

Yes

Steel/Fighting

[mortal timber]

Good luck for everyone here, I am going to vacation from now

What you will do pykuo, gonna try?

[haughty haven]

I’ll try a bit on day 1 and not do it anymore

[mortal timber]

Wishing you the best for it

[graceful pike]

you given up?

[night sleet]

Wat you surprise rosa stan hse just get boring for many . Plus too mutch invest need each time

[mortal timber]

Last result you will see from me freedom

[void urchin]

1st place title for both of them

[mortal timber]

That's great

Title for N2 nowhere to be seen haha

[gilded totem]

Soooooo TIME TO ROLLLLLL

[storm vector]

not great, not terrible either

idk if this can get me top 1k considering no ss lear, NC bianca or rei

but 200k for all the rewards shouldn’t be an issue

[storm sinew]

hmmm. planning to candy lear once i have the double sprint candy which should be soon enough hopefully (5 coins left)

thats actually pretty solid i have ss lear, rei and nc bianca invested, plus arc steven who i may or may not candy

ig my important missing components are aura cynthia, nc hop and the steel damage dealers eg. rose, poppy, sc selene

i wonder if i can push sort of high on this HSE

[gilded totem]

Should I get registeel for this event

I seriously do not know how good it is

And I don't think I'll have enough to raise Rei Arc Steven and NC Bianca to the desired move level

[long oyster]

Probably not

But it's too early to tell anyway

[gilded totem]

All I need is SS Lear and Imma go go go

[night sleet]

I would not be happy:) this make zero sens:) 2 number 1🤣 .

[paper mist]

How we feeling?

I was at like 446 when I went to bed

[storm vector]

last minute pushers

[paper mist]

When I find them /hj

[idle plinth]

This is actually hilarious

[knotty dew]

I went from about 250 to 350 on last day

[paper mist]

Argenta acquired, only Selene is missing now

Only fighting pair I’m missing is Chuck and Cobalion

Can they give us Fire rerun soon I just got a 5th Kabu today kthx

[void urchin]

They have 2nd place title too

[night sleet]

Off course they have like you got or me 1-10000 all

But point get top1 is one is 1

Like i most games or real life

Good i didn’t have this issue would be not happy about it

[ornate turret]

Yeah I forgot about this, the top players also get the all the titles for the lower ranks. So even when there’s no rank 2 the #1 players still get that rank 2 title

[night sleet]

Yeap you get 1-10000

Each rank you get your rank too -10000

[static oar]

Final Score:

Maxie - 1000
Nita - 800
Zinnia - 600
SS Leon - 1000
N - 1000

[hollow prism]

Nice score! I haven’t seen you in this channel before if i recall, was this your first HS or am I just dumb and missed your previous post

[hollow prism]

Looks like I got top 500 then, i was 390k

I haven’t checked though

[paper mist]

[static oar]

Thanks! Ive been top 500 for all previous HSEs (except Psychic)

I used to be more active in the server back in year 1&2 of this game, now I'm more a lurker

Being a vet/whale* I'm trying to take HSE more seriously as it's my favorite game mode

I did post my score earlier for this HSE but I improved about 20k from my debut

[thorny grove]

I felt like steel would be soon too. But I figured it’d be paired with elec. that just makes way more sense to me especially seeing as so many steel types can para or also rely on it in their kits.

[cunning shore]

They won't do any repeats till all the unused types are complete

Since the remaining ones are all even numbers

[paper mist]

was expecting steel/bug or steel/rock over steel/fighting

[night sleet]

Only wat can be as condition is flinch

Since steel fight have it

Or low sts

[hollow prism]

Ah ok, we strategize a lot back and forth on what we think will be good for each stage, we always enjoy more minds on the event if you’re considering being more involved

Sometimes we tunnel vision on one idea that we all think LOOKS good before the event but ends up being bad

I still remember our Dawn SS Lyra Mix Red team vs Gardenia and cringe

[static oar]

For sure! I'd like to contribute however I can

Historically I'm better at recreating the clears of others, but I'm happy to offer my perspective

[cyan tusk]

Good morning/evening beautiful peeps

Steel/fighting sounds expensive as hell

[main pulsar]

steel im chumped for

i ONLY have arc steven and pal marnie

[oak fulcrum]

this looks really good for me, finally an excuse to 3/5 SC Shauna and also get LG use out of it

[cyan tusk]

I’ll be only candying Steven and caking hop for it, mainly bc is something that is already in my to do list

Just the excuse to bump the priority

[main pulsar]

cake hop?

oh right theres a figthing hop not a steel hop

im dum kekw

[cyan tusk]

Nc Hop yep

[rough forum]

I should be fine ig

[tidal pine]

I think I'll be content with top 500/1000 medal this time around

For my final score:

Maxie: 950
Nita: 790
Zinnia: 575
Leon: 685
N: 1000

(got Arc Suit Lance after the event ended )

[cyan tusk]

I’m gonna use

the Stevens

[mortal timber]

I am gonna share a screen with 0 points total and submit it to the list of clears

🗿

[cyan tusk]

You can still try bc it’s Steven time to shine ✨

No matter what, just going for high points Steven’s clear

[mortal timber]

Done and dusted bud, done and dusted

I have the units and I don't care for once, freedom

[cyan tusk]

Don’t do it for them, do it for STEVEN

[acoustic quarry]

Noooooo they did steel

I'm cooked

About to comit on Lear when i didn't wanted too /o

[knotty dew]

Tbh it's a lot more investment than that

Another HSE, another having no damage dealers

Actual decent supports this time though

[cyan tusk]

It depends on the stages, physical oriented ones are more for Jasmine/Hop, a special one will be suitable for ScJasmine, mixed for both arc Steven and SSAcynthia. Bonus point for ScShauna

Expecting a no tech stage for SSlear/NcBianca

And I don’t see argenta doing that much tbh

[hollow prism]

SCJasmine is not the unit for a special stage

That’s Summer Tate or SSLear

[cyan tusk]

ScJasmine is the support

[hollow prism]

Oh

I do not read

Even then VThorton exists

But i don’t think he tanks

[cyan tusk]

Speaking of high points the answer is no

[hollow prism]

Wdym

He flinches

[cyan tusk]

He does not tank at high points

You still need a support

[hollow prism]

Yeah he doesn’t tank sure

But he def does high str clears

In fact my top steel team is NCBlue SummerTate and VThorton

Bc prior to Poppy and Lear all the steel units sucked and were slow

[rough forum]

Lear is special

[hollow prism]

Ik

I could see Tate and thorton with a physical tank on a stage with physical attacks

Bc Tate lowers Atk aggressively

[paper mist]

I'll be fine I think

expecting a new and strong Fighting type in Nov though (most likely Eri)

[hollow prism]

Nah what the name of the fire chick

I forget

[paper mist]

Mela

[hollow prism]

She’s gonna come out first

[paper mist]

you say that like they can't release both at the same time

and Giacomo came out before she did

[hollow prism]

My brain thought Melli but i was like “ew no why am i using brain cells on thinking about her”

💀

[hollow prism]

Tbf Giacomo did canonically make the Team star tracks in game

So he’s a chad

[paper mist]

yes, the music and the stand in leader after Penny left

Giacomo made the music, and is the temp leader
Ortega made the Starmobiles
Mela trained the Chardets that power the Starmobiles
Atticus made the outfits
Eri trained them in battles (and is the strongest of them all)

[hollow prism]

I refuse to remember that Ortega exists

[paper mist]

but yeah I think Eri's gonna come in Nov with Fighting-type Annihilape

[hollow prism]

SV has good characters but with Tulip and Carmine that makes 3 characters with extremely punchable faces

[paper mist]

and she will be the counter to Korrina & Ghost-weak Marshadow via Rage Fist

[hollow prism]

Do we need another fighting type dmg unit

Bc Fighting has like -2 supports

[paper mist]

you say that like some Supports can't do damage

[hollow prism]

Yeah

[paper mist]

the more it gets hit the stronger Rage Fist gets which means you want it to tank

[hollow prism]

We got Iono and Blue, and…..

Rosa?

Yeah im out

[paper mist]

NCBede

[hollow prism]

Eh

[paper mist]

6 f2p available supports ok have fun

[cyan tusk]

With 2 of them being good in hop and Jasmine, and lodge Jasmine having ex not bad. Registeel still a good tank for hse

[ornate turret]

time to waste 4 tickets to make cobalion and registeel 3/5

[cunning shore]

Is he support cake though?
I am hating the amount of tech supports i have rn

[cunning shore]

Oh f
I can't
Fr

[paper mist]

don't have cobalion and i plan on keeping it that way for the future

[cunning shore]

Coba is really nice though?

[night sleet]

Coba regi and hop are ok sup

[paper mist]

I don't need it

its the only one of the 12 supports I don't have, I'll be fine

I'm one of those "but what if" hoarders lol

[mortal timber]

Considering they have no ex you maybe wanna combine with some supp ex role unit

And if you have the resources 3/5 them too

[cyan tusk]

Coba has few utility tbh unless is a physical stage with stuff like ncbianca

[mortal timber]

Coba nc Bianca sounds already legit

And then a semi cheap third

That glues the team

[cunning shore]

What synergy does coba have with Bianca?

[cyan tusk]

Bianca debuffs atk so that coba can endure better + Bianca has supp ex sync + fighting master passive

[mortal timber]

Read my mind

Gone in the ranks, but always here to dispense some ideas (and misinfo when needed )

[trail adder]

Chat...

[cyan tusk]

Go grab registeel lol

[trail adder]

Oh right lol

[cunning shore]

2 months still

You got a chance

[static oar]

Looks like only a few Steel PokéFair units still don't have am EXR unlocked

With Raihan getting his in October, I wonder if Gloria will get one in November

Other than those two, I think it's just OG Steven

Not seeing any Fighting PokéFairs that don't have an EXR

[final canyon]

Next one is Fighting and Steel ?

[cunning shore]

OG Steven needed so much help they Arc'd him

[paper mist]

we only have 1 anyway (Rei), and he's rerunning next month

[sullen pier]

Wow finally a HSE i have a diverse roster for

Not like I'm going to try hard anyway

[oak fulcrum]

I was thinking about candying sc shauna to 3/5 anyways, and I already have the candies for ss lear just waiting to see if my last dailies end up being nice

[cunning shore]

I am missing 3 fighting types

[cunning shore]

Exactly these 3

And 5 steel types

Rose
Shauna
Marnie
Raihan and Selene

I think Selene is the only one that will reallllly hurt me

[hollow prism]

Yo you’re fucked, you’re missing the most important unit

S C G U Z M A

[glossy ravine]

Oh, I got SS Lear

Maybe I can actually do this now

[cyan tusk]

She’s coming for y’all

[onyx crystal]

the only pair I'm missing

[rough forum]

....you have fall Morty and not her?

Damn

[cyan tusk]

She can be a really good unova combo with colress and NcBianca

Just need a stage where they buff themself a lot

[paper mist]

I'm thinking we're definitely gonna get another special-oriented stage, meaning you want SCDiantha, sTate, Raihan, SSLear, or vThorton, or suffer with Wally or egg Perrserker

[hollow prism]

VThorton is prob not sufficient for dmg

[sullen pier]

V Thorton is good as a flinch and utility bot at least

He also has spatk debuffs which might come handy

[hollow prism]

VThorton is a critical unit

But only 3/5

Without the flinch 🤡

[static oar]

vThorton can also give endurance just from TM

pretty good utility just in that and metal sound

if you wanna go real expensive, he's got support EX too

(not me having 3/5 EXR)

[cunning shore]

I would invest in him

If he had true usage during the event

[cyan tusk]

I would not invest in him tbh 2 field candies are expensive nowdays but I would invest in my ScSelene bc it’s just 1 candy and I think she’s way better

[hollow prism]

Nah

Field candies are harder to get but we also have like 3 field units total that are worth giving candies to 💀 so it balances out

Sprint is a little rougher but again units that have sprint as the PRIMARY role who want candies are rare

[cyan tusk]

We got SSLear as the only sprint unit that deserved candies for me lol

[vernal trench]

Latepost, couldn't keep t100 for this one cuz i did not have time to improve more, here is my vids how I cleared it https://youtu.be/Q1oQ_e4bV8k?si=aqffwi3fSl2zM4Q0

[sullen pier]

I like your SS Leon team

Great work

[cyan tusk]

Btw this is a great work with unconventional teams, you deserved that t100 spot anyway. In your case I’d have used Arc Cynthia on maxie and another dragon type on SSLeon and take advantage of super effective dmg or just nuke with Raihan

[vernal trench]

I did Raihan as my pre trial, but not enough at strength 700 😂

and i do not have any good mons for Maxie stage, so i used OG Cynthia & AS Cynthia for Leon

skill issue

[mortal timber]

Yeah I very appreciate the original approach on SS Leon

[ornate turret]

10/10 sync pairs coming, good luck to everyone, HSE is fucked up even more after arc suit

[rough ginkgo]

The wording is a little bit vague on that, they didn’t say move level 10 was coming, just that there were 5 boosts unlockable after 5/5

[night sleet]

Hard tell wat they cook

But its sure will be not free🫢💰

[magic sandal]

This is the important bit

The issue is currently the only way to up move level is by candies/pulling

So depending on what they do it could be salvaged

[cyan tusk]

I’m out lol

[rough forum]

It could be just actual ingame levels too lol

Like 155?

But every level unlocks more than just some statup

[night sleet]

Then why you need move lv 5/5 for 155?

Its not make any sens

[cunning shore]

There will be new passive at 155

Lol

Next HSE my last

[rough forum]

Because it's a condition unlock

[cunning shore]

They're getting too greedy

[night sleet]

And wat 50 cettifacte? Its all

[cunning shore]

They want you to 5/5 every unit then increase their levels 5 times - 5th level giving you new Passive skills

[rough forum]

?

[cunning shore]

We don't know the exact ingredients needed

It's probably something expensive like the ever pins

20x power up for 1 level up or something

[night sleet]

I expect pokefair 10/10 move lv

[cunning shore]

And they're only doing it for pokefairs

So spotlight and f2p are just shit

[rough forum]

The point is making people who pulled 5/5 more satisfied and units with mediocre 5/5 or bad base kit less shit

[cunning shore]

Even though those need more help

[rough forum]

Well if difficulty doesn't skyrocket they don't need any upgrade

[cunning shore]

I mean yeah sure
My 5/5 Yveltal will finally be great yaaaaay

But at what cost?

[rough forum]

I don't see a downside tho

[cunning shore]

Nice pun

If intended

[night sleet]

Lol you belive you have 5/5 and its all?

[cunning shore]

They're too greedy man

It's too much

500 scout points

[night sleet]

Its sure will cost money

[cunning shore]

Low gem monthly

[rough forum]

It was, but I'm also not joking

[night sleet]

To unlock over 5/5

[rough forum]

Now more units are viable

[cunning shore]

I won't be surprised if they literally ask for gems to upgrade the units

[rough forum]

It's not worse than last year

[night sleet]

Its why i told befor

When saw arc banners

[rough forum]

It's been stagnating for 18 months

[night sleet]

No gems not will be use for upgrades

If they want they could do it befor

[rough forum]

Even if it does, which it won't

Just don't upgrade? What does that change for you? That other people can do that and you won't? All it does is give worse units more chances into higher tier content

[cunning shore]

They're getting greedy

[night sleet]

Yes

[rough forum]

How

Like, aside the 500 pity

[night sleet]

You think 500 scout points will be just for arc?

[rough forum]

Which I totally get

[night sleet]

Its just start

[rough forum]

Yeah? Just like 1% was for master fairs

[cunning shore]

They've started with it slowly.
You're just getting used to it.
The 5/5 expansion was the start of it

[rough forum]

Ah yes, totally didn't see this rethoric 3.5 years ago

[cunning shore]

They can't just throw everything at you at once

[rough forum]

I had the same reasoning for 5/5

"why care, as long as it doesn't make units actually shit at 3/5 it's just making 4-5/5 not a net value loss if you pull those copies"

Especially as long as MFs don't get it

Pokefairs have been in an awkward spot since MFs became more common

[night sleet]

Its will be like arc units . If have pokefair maxed it will be super op like arcs

[cunning shore]

Some of the units are actually only "viable-good" at 5/5

[rough forum]

Ok and?

[rough forum]

Ok which ones

[cunning shore]

Yveltal is my prime example

[night sleet]

And mean gap in event will be realy big

[cunning shore]

Is actually really shit

[night sleet]

Top1-20 vs rest

[cunning shore]

Until 5/5

Becomes ok

[rough forum]

Which is an ancient unit which had 0 utter use before 5/5

[cunning shore]

I am just stating, they could've expanded things with less greed

[night sleet]

Rika need 5/5 too

[rough forum]

You would've preferred yveltal to be unusable forever?

[rough forum]

What

[night sleet]

New units as well pokefair

[rough forum]

Absolutely not?

[cunning shore]

Kinda has one niche use now

[night sleet]

For be top she need it

We talk about be top unit

[rough forum]

No

We're talking about being good

Not literally top crème

[night sleet]

Like haymaker is 5/5 now?

[rough forum]

Yeah, and Kingambit 3/5 has still a fine nuke

5/5 is only to be, again, comparable to the highest tier of limiteds

Stuff like bad 3/5 weren't uncommon before 5/5

[night sleet]

Yes to be on top need 5/5 on gambit

[rough forum]

So does he need it to not be shit?

[cunning shore]

Kinda

[night sleet]

Hard tell wat he need

Since need test and see diffrence

But off course you can use him even 1/5

[rough forum]

Well ofc you can, but then you're still missing on a very sensible part of his kit like all his PMUN and SEUN stacking on his buddy

What I'm saying is that from my POV as long as 3/5 and base kits don't become actual shit, 5/5 wasn't a bad implementation at all

[night sleet]

We can only wait and see wat dena cook since it next update

[rough forum]

Same COULD be for these 5 levels

Yeah

It could be finr

It could be hell

I'm not saying y'all are wrong

But that 5/5 wasn't a hellish decision

[night sleet]

Hard tell wat it will be for sure since we have zero info about it

Its good for player like me wat have them

[rough forum]

And people tend to freak out a lot every time DeNa implemented something nee

New

[knotty dew]

10/5 Greta

Can't wait

[night sleet]

I understand player wat have alot units 1/2/3 -5

They dont like it

[knotty dew]

Anyway I'd be amazed if this was move levels

Because who's investing candies for stat boosts

[rough forum]

• stamina
• MFs
• step up banners
• buddy moves
• 5/5
• master fair paid banners
• arc suits
• now this new thing

Every time people go crazy and scream EOS and it never even came close to it

[night sleet]

Hard tell how we unlock it

[knotty dew]

(also opens a can of worms that I've gotten 6/5 Steven and Lance before and I won't get credit for it)

So Id guess it's some other way of upgrading

[night sleet]

Maybe?

We can wait since zero info

How we upgrade and wat this even do

[knotty dew]

Yeah just candies for stat boosts and move BP would be hilarious

[rough forum]

The closest thing I agree that was really greedy were arc suits

500 pity is really inexcusable

[knotty dew]

We know mostly what it does anyway

[night sleet]

500 is good for pay banner but not for free

[knotty dew]

4 levels of stat and move boosts

Last level is a new passive

[rough forum]

Yeah if they upgraded gifts to 10 multi presents on non paid

And 10th multi gave 1 candy (vs 2 of paid)

It would've been fine

Imo

But 500 with 5 basic MF gift multis sucks

[night sleet]

Yeap its why we may get simmilar on pokefairs

Pay vs non pay

[rough forum]

We'll see

[knotty dew]

It's probably actual levels not move levels

[night sleet]

If they realy plan do 10/10

Hard tell

They write it as it could be anything

[knotty dew]

Get to 5/5 raise to level 155

[night sleet]

Move lv level in game😂

Passive all can be

Extra grid note like arcs?

[knotty dew]

Basically

[rough forum]

That's my idea too

[night sleet]

This i don’t belive

[knotty dew]

It's more to me what they describe isn't remotely worth candies to anyone so that would be funny

[rough forum]

Yea

[night sleet]

Just 155 vs 150? Its nothing

[knotty dew]

You have to be 5/5 on a unit

[night sleet]

Even so ?

[rough forum]

It is if the stat up are coded differently

[knotty dew]

They say that clearly

So it's a steep investment before you start

[night sleet]

Maybe if sts raise high then yes

[rough forum]

Because they say they get big role related buffs

[night sleet]

If same like now no

[knotty dew]

And the level cap unlock mats could be anything

[knotty dew]

Yeah it's generic

[rough forum]

They wouldn't underline stat buffs imo

If they weren't especially noticeable

[knotty dew]

That's why we're getting all of them across 3 months because they just have to do passives

[rough forum]

Yea

[knotty dew]

Can't wait for 5/5 Steven to get vigilance again

[rough forum]

This also confirms the slow AF exr release schedule is a choice

[knotty dew]

Variety tier power up 😂

[night sleet]

Fixed passive? Its mean they change old one

Not add new

[rough forum]

No

Fixed means every striker gets the same

Imo

Same for techs, supports etx

Etc

Imo

[knotty dew]

I'm not sure about that

They state role up to 4 levels

Then they don't for 5th level

[sullen pier]

based on the wording i believe each pair has an own passive skill, not the one that gets shared within the same role

[knotty dew]

Ya

[rough forum]

Good point

Didn't notice myself

[rough forum]

So basically custom cookie but doesn't steal ls slot

[sullen pier]

correct

[rough forum]

Also I feel the passive skill will be unlocked on base kit

[sullen pier]

maybe the general quality is way better than the custom skill's

[rough forum]

Like how MF passives are extra

[sullen pier]

like wtf is Giacomo's Vigilance

[knotty dew]

They're doing it for all fairs so some will be busted and some will be awful probably

[rough forum]

Yeah, even tho many custom cookies are very good

Penny and Faitlin ones this update go so hard

[knotty dew]

Some custom cookies are good

Then there's new Selene with status immunity

[rough forum]

Yea

[rough forum]

NC silver +1 virtual crit rofl

SC adaman +1 pmun on entry

So yeah some will be better than others

[sullen pier]

oh what's Penny's skill?

[rough forum]

Sync damage guard

[sullen pier]

it falls into a niche side, but it's a good one ig

Caitlin's is truly the great one

[night sleet]

You think they custom cookies will now be extra passive?

Hmm interesting idea

[sullen pier]

no, that's not what we meant earlier

[knotty dew]

No you get an extra passive for free

[sullen pier]

it's literally +1 passive without wasting a slot

[knotty dew]

You don't get to pick it

[rough forum]

It's probably just like master passives

Hard unlocked on base kit

Extra skill

And it's custom

On each pair

[knotty dew]

It's in the hands of the people who choose what ex role pairs get

Good luck

[rough forum]

Yeah...most times it's fine or good

Then you have the ciris tier hate...

Horrid exr+ horrid 5/5

[rough forum]

Imagine if some strikers get stuff like extend range or techs get expanded sync as skill rofl

[knotty dew]

Selene gonna get 10/5 interference immunity

[rough forum]

That would be the most broken shit

[rough forum]

To powerscale with kiawe lucky cookie so true

(status & interf immunity)

[knotty dew]

Arc Cynthia and Steven got fun custom cookies

Lance got damage guard entry

[sullen pier]

Lance's has some niches at least

especially Noland UB

[sullen pier]

meanwhile Jacq got Pinpoint Entry 2

it was so funny that we thought both skills were swapped

[rough forum]

That -1 Def drop doeee

I wish Bianca cookie was 40% on DPS instead of sync

[cyan tusk]

What gets me to opt out ranked events is that all the pokefairs I got more than 5/5 in those years are a complete waste, not that they are gonna revert 5* tickets anyway lol

[knotty dew]

Yeah that's kinda why I'm skeptical on 10/5

[rough forum]

Well that implies 6+/5 matters remotely

[mortal timber]

Morning, what's up with the ruckus

[cunning shore]

Hey Lance is quite the beast
I would say he's even monsterous
He's just lacking aoe options

[cunning shore]

Dena Greed

[mortal timber]

I just read

Gonna be brutally honest with y'all people

No matter what is the way to reach the further level moves, candies or not

Rip HSE

I am EXTREMELY glad I decided to quit after this one

[cyan tusk]

Yes but all the units I would have with more move levels so far are completely wasted so sorry not sorry im gonna stick at maximum with top100, no more

[mortal timber]

It's not worth anymore no matter the resources needed for it

I would be serious mad if I lost a top 100 cuz some of my units are not 10/5

Like wtf

I will be around here chatting and helping, but you won't see me ever again tryharding anymore, the good times are over

[cunning shore]

Next HSE my last good push

After that

I will just settle for rewards

[mortal timber]

Good luck even doing that if they touch fighting or steel units

[cunning shore]

I have a good roster-ish already

[mortal timber]

Ah, you did the poma gameplay then

[cunning shore]

Best fighting and steel units
And some other okay options

[mortal timber]

Then you should be fine

💳

[cunning shore]

Nah, I had luck
Good ol luck

I already gave up on dark hse because i needed 💳 at the time

Somehow still managed top 200

So not so bad

[mortal timber]

I have a great roster too but after I am so glad I quit after dragon ground

Best choice and best timing ever

Imagine having a good roster but missing on top 100 because no 10/5 units lmfao

So deceased

[cunning shore]

I mean next hse will not include the 10/5

It's the one after fighting steel

The one i plan to reward only

[mortal timber]

Oh no, it will instead

Next update they start

[cunning shore]

They said late October

[mortal timber]

Exactly

When is HSE?

November

[cunning shore]

Early November

They won't make it in time

[mortal timber]

Perfect

They will

Enjoy!

[cunning shore]

Ill manage

[mortal timber]

Poma gameplay when needed and you will manage for sure

[haughty haven]

Hello World, what news today

[mortal timber]

10/5 units, now go back rest

Wanna join me in my retirement

[haughty haven]

I just thing that bc how bad their English tho

[mortal timber]

Kicking in from next update, so next HSE

[haughty haven]

Bc in Japan they use different word

[mortal timber]

Yeah they can’t write

But no matter what the resources, rip HSE

It’s not worth anymore, waste of time

[haughty haven]

• In Jap dev letter they use different word not five additional "levels". They deliberately change the word to not be confusing imo.
• They use "レベル" for regular level "わざレベル" for move level but "段階" for this new update.

[mortal timber]

They gonna introduce a new item, but overall this looks so dumb

At least in this case scenario

Outside if it you can bet I will upgrade Anniversary Steven to 5/5

[haughty haven]

Yeah, need 5/5 pair just for this ií bs

[mortal timber]

I quit at the perfect timing

Feels good

No going back after this news

[cunning shore]

There is literally no saving that shiny Rayquaza

Unless they re-introduce the unit with new stat spread and PROPER MEGA SCALING

Who the fuck wants just boosted speed

What were they smoking

[mortal timber]

Not until today

Otherwise I would have agreed with you

Remember, if after 4 years we got Mega Sceptile, anything can happen in this game

[haughty haven]

So good that i joined Dabbo soon, i cant imagine need 5/5 pair for the top place

Arc and now 5/5
