High Score

[hollow prism]

Please do this HSE is a dumpster fire

[neon prawn]

btw who other than u selene works on brock

[cyan tusk]

Nah bc there was lt surge that used magneton with steel moves

[neon prawn]

he has dr if no status or interference right?

[haughty haven]

You can look at silly animation i made while wait for info

[hollow prism]

Also how do you like Holiday Lillie Quaggles?

[haughty haven]

[wooden sparrow]

like every hse i just copy others 😭 looking to be original maybe this time around

[hollow prism]

I have my 3/5 and love her to pieces

[wooden sparrow]

she's the biggest love letter dena has given to me what can i say

[hollow prism]

But i wish she was a support and didn’t have that damage squeezed into her kit

[wooden sparrow]

sphealll

[cyan tusk]

Quagg we believe in you
Since we are 2 month of lg short
I miss copying your stuff

[hollow prism]

If she was a Sing/SyncCD support for Gladion that would have been perfect

[haughty haven]

Still cope for Spheal pair

[hollow prism]

Nah copy Nao’s stuff

[cyan tusk]

Glacia and spheal when

[hollow prism]

She puts it all into a nice spreadsheet too

💀

[wooden sparrow]

and i miss making them!!

[cyan tusk]

I’m not limiting myself in copying just one when we have plenty of highly skilled friends

[neon prawn]

imagine if lg doesn't rerun next month as well

[cyan tusk]

I miss my cookies!!

[neon prawn]

anyways how long does it usually take for stage details to be mined

[wooden sparrow]

me too!!! I only have like 30 3* deluxes lol

[cyan tusk]

Can’t reach 9 Mln with arc Leon bc no hs1

[hollow prism]

I have no deluxes at all

I’m broke

[haughty haven]

Imagine we have Lg but 3 UB stages instead

[sullen pier]

30? that's higher than mine

[neon prawn]

I have 16 rn

[cyan tusk]

I have 0

[haughty haven]

0

[cyan tusk]

Used my bronze to get ww3 on Leon

[wooden sparrow]

no way im the richest in deluxes in this chat rn 💀

[haughty haven]

[cyan tusk]

But ingo and marnie are without hs1

You have no idea how many times I missed another sync with arc Leon getting to -1/2 from it bc of no hs1

Ok sorry for my crying but the sssteven shaft still got me

Going back to normal irresponsible financial splurging soon

[haughty haven]

You tried hard Super Sparring ?

[wooden sparrow]

the SA's this time around on average were,,, kinda below average ig lol

[haughty haven]

I hate SSSteven

[cyan tusk]

Nope bc wasn’t able to cake hop due to 8 days event

[haughty haven]

It looks so garbage

I cant

[cyan tusk]

Selene is the best rn lmao

And also the paldea new one with the fire unit

(I have played a lot scarlet and violet, can you see it?)

[haughty haven]

This month is so bad for me

3 Paldea ?

[storm vector]

yeah

[cyan tusk]

Poopy

[storm vector]

also 2 paldea characters in the same event

(atticus and mela)

[cyan tusk]

Where are the grids anyway

[cyan tusk]

Lol mela in Italy is apple

Literally

[storm vector]

which means battle challenge that requires 2 paldea lessgooooo

[cyan tusk]

🍎

[haughty haven]

Still no real f2p Paldea

Paldea sucks a expensive region

[hollow prism]

Also quite possibly a unit better than NCBlue

[wooden sparrow]

its pretty good! you'll be seeing it in action in hse teehee

[hollow prism]

Although that is still up in the air

[neon prawn]

one minute

[haughty haven]

I need to pull all Paldea

Bc my account is full Paldea

[cyan tusk]

And crying from my 1/5 corner

[neon prawn]

https://pastebin.com/h5G9PBNj

grids

[haughty haven]

[cyan tusk]

Thx!

[neon prawn]

mfs have 5/5 now

[wooden sparrow]

it's going to drain my strike cookies so I just hope pal. candice isn't meta lol

[haughty haven]

But i cant even use Wallet power so it all luck to get all of them

[hollow prism]

She prob will be

[haughty haven]

This is horrible for me

[storm vector]

there is an anti-special stage

[hollow prism]

Literally every Rock and Ice unit will have to be used

Because they all suck 💀

[storm vector]

been working on that dana EX so hopefully it matters

[hollow prism]

Like we’re prob going back to off types

[storm vector]

better give us that ice/rock weak mid

[hollow prism]

That’s how bad the pool is

Even if we get it

The supports are the issue

We have Grusha, Paulo, Dana (💀), and then Melony(☠️🤡☠️)

[cyan tusk]

We have bp Olivia!

[haughty haven]

I’ll say Melony Max Move’ll save some team

[hollow prism]

No

[haughty haven]

Also sleep

[hollow prism]

I am using NCBlue thank you

[haughty haven]

Just so good to ignore for me

[cyan tusk]

AoE regen max team def and a protect

[hollow prism]

Fuck that trash

Have fun struggling to get 500 while I get the easiest 1k of my life zzzz

[storm vector]

if people can run lodge jasmine they can run bp olivia

[haughty haven]

Cant wait for one stage that want to poison/para/burn/freeze you, and you need safeguards from Melony

[hollow prism]

Lodge jasmine was possible bc of the evasion

Because Rei set evasion at 4/5

Jasmine got like 2 tapped by Rose

💀

[haughty haven]

For Rei + Hop, the evasion doesn’t needed

But Rei + SC Shauna

Ew

[hollow prism]

Well you’re not overkilling like that here

[haughty haven]

Awful

Get that shit out of me

[hollow prism]

Pykuo I made top 20 with that 💀

Shut

[haughty haven]

Horrible rng

I hate it

[hollow prism]

If I had swapped Shauna and Cynthia and rolled for better points on the other 3 stages I probably could have gotten top 3

I was really stupid with Shauna that event, i had every hint that she was supposed to go with tate

But im an idiot

[haughty haven]

Me who don’t even have Tate

-3k points hurt so much ngl

[hollow prism]

If you had tate and I was a not idiot on Shauna bc I was the most experienced with her kit we might have beaten the JP players

It annoys me to no end

[neon prawn]

will all 1000 str even be possible

[hollow prism]

Absolutely fucking not 💀

[haughty haven]

The top 1 made me so mad

[hollow prism]

Unless you offtype

[haughty haven]

He definitely can reach 600k

Fk

[hollow prism]

It was so bad we totally could have beaten that

[neon prawn]

I assume gio will be used this hse then

[haughty haven]

I’ll say his Rose team is so good

But it hurts me when other stage can improve

[hollow prism]

I am 100% to blame. I KNEW tate Thorton was busted almost a year ago but I put NCBlue, who is totally redundant and adds nothing, on the team

And I was asking for years fot a good support

“Who tf do i pair with these two units? How do I improve Tate’s Rising tide sync? Oh look I got a 4/5 Shauna on Mix”

I’M SO FUCKING STUPID

[haughty haven]

Still no misson

[hollow prism]

But I just couldn’t get Shauna off Rose, i never thought Rei Cynthia was enough to pre sync

:/

Turns out it was and we lost bc of it

[haughty haven]

That need a really good gears tho

[hollow prism]

Yeah but that taught me a lot

[haughty haven]

I remember reached like 18% Hp with stats gears

[hollow prism]

And tbh we were scary close to winning that HSE

[haughty haven]

But tbf i dont reset for Tm mpr

[neon prawn]

this hse I haven't seen much interest from the en side

[haughty haven]

So no SEUN

[hollow prism]

That was the first time I realized “oh these JP teams are not perfect”

[haughty haven]

We dont even have info yet immo

[hollow prism]

Yeah this one is gonna suck

I unironically think off types will be optimal

Like multiple

[haughty haven]

But the supp gaps will be huge

[neon prawn]

even after info I doubt there will be much interest

[hollow prism]

I think 85k with an offtype support is gonna be better than fucking around with Melony and Dana

[neon prawn]

no new ice or rock this month right?

[hollow prism]

No :/

And tbh no new unit besides Gio would help even if they were

[sterile frost]

Brandon erasure. Hes right there to be a new pf.

[neon prawn]

I am pretty sure gio will be needed for high score?or maybe nc blue will be enough

[hollow prism]

Gio isn’t Rock Ice

So no

[neon prawn]

fair

[hollow prism]

And Dark was already done

But Gio is the best offtype period

[neon prawn]

are the dds so bad that broken support can't carry them enough?

[cyan tusk]

Gio is bulky as hell

[hollow prism]

They’re not BAD but the supports are that bad

NCRed and Irida are good

Silver is fine

Sina and Diantha are ok????

And then you get into clown territory

[haughty haven]

5/5 EXR SSN’ll carry me right ?

[neon prawn]

isn't he the fattest unit in the game now?

[neon prawn]

paldice isn't clown imo

[cyan tusk]

IG

[neon prawn]

aside from ASS

[hollow prism]

Gio has like 1150 HP and 310 defenses i think

[cyan tusk]

Lmk so I 3/5 mine

[haughty haven]

He has the highest stats btw

[cyan tusk]

NOW THAT I HAVE TECH CANDIES TO SPARE

[haughty haven]

Higher than SS Serena after 100%

[hollow prism]

His HP is fucking stupid

[cyan tusk]

[neon prawn]

he also has 2-3 I won't die buttons

[haughty haven]

Cant wait for top 1 has 10/5 everything

[hollow prism]

I’m gonna hope 420k is enough for top 100

💀

[haughty haven]

I have a ton of candy bc i’m so lose interest in this game

☠️

[hollow prism]

Because I know I can prob get 4 1k offtypes with ArcSteven, NCBlue, probably SSGio, and some on type Damage Dealer

[haughty haven]

So i really can 10/5 someone

[neon prawn]

top 20 all will have 10/5 imo

[hollow prism]

And then i’m gonna pile Irida Red Dana and try to 1000 Str

[haughty haven]

☠️

[hollow prism]

EXCHANGE YOUR CANDIES

Bug Poison Flying Normal

[night sleet]

And fire electric we miss

So 6

[haughty haven]

@outer whale

[storm vector]

whose ready for ss brock to get the full 5 Fs in the HSE grading sheet

it is possible....

[cyan tusk]

@haughty haven isn’t brock sync special?

[haughty haven]

Yeah, my brain said Special

But my Hand text Physical

[cyan tusk]

Grant is calling SSDiantha

[haughty haven]

Elio + Selene + BP Olivia against Brock

[cyan tusk]

For you heavy invested Selene owners

[haughty haven]

I’m so ready

And she

Yeah, Brock’s Sync also Special makes it favor Selene a lot

[neon prawn]

ew time trial

[neon prawn]

?

that must be a typo.

[outer whale]

Let me cook this month.

[haughty haven]

@sullen pier can you unpin this ?

[outer whale]

@haughty haven remember, i can pin and unpin.

[wooden sparrow]

wow ignore me ig x_x

[haughty haven]

Oh sr, i remember Helper can do it but bc Gakon did before so

Ok plan time

Ok no more BP Olivia bc fk Tech condition

[sterile frost]

Ppl who got VHilbert in last ticket will be so happy.
He's main character + tech in one.

[sullen pier]

I didn't get him so I'm not happy

[haughty haven]

Even with him planning still sucks

Why Pal Bea doesn't have Gym Leader ?

[bold pond]

So you're telling me the fact both eevee tickets gave me him is a blessing?

[haughty haven]

I’m not feeling good

[night sleet]

Lodge arven any use?

[tiny ore]

tank

[idle plinth]

I got the other two

[oak fulcrum]

yeah okay Brock is just ultra Selene and not anyone else?

[haughty haven]

Ok i hate the fact that i dont have guard cookie bc no LG

[sullen pier]

Huh

[wooden sparrow]

as in like type guard?

[sullen pier]

Your whatever type of that cookie stock is that low?

[haughty haven]

Yeah

i have 0

[wooden sparrow]

i can't remember the last time I was under 1k in guard cookies that's crazy to me lol

[night sleet]

This cookie is in training arena and villa can be get

[haughty haven]

It isn't in Training Area

[night sleet]

Then villa

Yeap lol why in training arena have all others gold then this lol bad joke

[cyan tusk]

Id do kukui over grant

[haughty haven]

Mostly bc Grant can buff SpDef himself

[cyan tusk]

But Kukui is alola and can flinch chain better imo

[haughty haven]

The problem is can he survive the Sync ?

Bc Surf after Sync

[cyan tusk]

I still have to start planning
I’m just afraid too much stuff will be asking for my cakes and I still have Hlilie to invest in

[wooden sparrow]

you guys think slotting in a bad tech is better for points than a better unit?

[haughty haven]

And i need someone can survive to flinch that shit

[storm vector]

does rock have nothing better than grant

[cyan tusk]

Maybe triple alola circle can be

[storm vector]

i don't think grant gets anywhere close to 1k str

[haughty haven]

I know Selene can survive the Sync

Bc i grid the big shield for her

Also that team lacks SpA debuff so idt the Circle can save them

If i can, V Hilbert just perfect to to throw in that spot

[wooden sparrow]

maybe ghetsis is ok?

drops offenses and cold snap

unless rotating selene b move and glaciate is too much

[haughty haven]

Yeah, the gauge suck a huge problem

[wooden sparrow]

if selene can't survive a sync then i'd go paulo for the sp def buffs on his b move

[cyan tusk]

Just use ghetsis to debuff

[haughty haven]

Rn i grid Selene like this

[cyan tusk]

Flexing the 5/5

[haughty haven]

Man so sad Ghetsis'll die even with -6 SpA and both Circle

He cant ignore the SpDef debuff unless you give him cookie

oh right, how we stop the Surf happen or just tank it ?

[night sleet]

Flinch surf

[haughty haven]

Ghetsis cant flinch

Kukui cant survice the Sync

[night sleet]

Kukui can

[wooden sparrow]

he has freeze

[haughty haven]

only Grant left

[night sleet]

Freeze can be too

[haughty haven]

You'll poison with Selene already

[wooden sparrow]

ohhhh good point

fair

[haughty haven]

And

[night sleet]

Then flinch only

[haughty haven]

you need that poison

bc rule

[outer whale]

Selene will probably be the best for Brock.

I can't think of any rock or ice types thatt can aoe status

[wooden sparrow]

in that case is it really optimal to use trash like grant and not instead use paulo for the defensive buffs

like ik the points but,,

[haughty haven]

It’ll be tough

I’ll need to look at enemy stats and caculation it

[neon prawn]

I think Selene and vilbert are the only options for brock

[haughty haven]

N too if you want to use Freeze shot 3 times on 3 different target

[night sleet]

Para yes

[haughty haven]

But rn Selene + Elio really anoying just bc Tech conditions

Giving up 3k or using really bad Tech and pray

~~pray bc fk aoe flinch ~~

[night sleet]

You can always run kukui stalwart

[haughty haven]

Kukui cant buff SpDef or Debuff SpA

He cant survive Sync at 1000 Str

But idk about Wise Entry 2 tbh

But then

[night sleet]

Selene debuff spe def

[haughty haven]

Cookie

[haughty haven]

She doesn’t debuff SpA

SpDef doesn’t matter

[night sleet]

Grant debuff spe attack?

[haughty haven]

Your SpDef is the one that matters

[haughty haven]

No but he can buff SpDef himself

[night sleet]

I now but brock can low it?

[haughty haven]

?

[night sleet]

Mind games 9?

[haughty haven]

He only has Surf as a Aoe Move

And he only uses it after Sync

But he still debuffs SpD on entry

So Selene and other teammate are in danger with that -1 SpDef

Not Elio ofc

[night sleet]

Hmm or stalwart or weise entry 2 then

Selene and kukui

[haughty haven]

That why i said idk about Wise Entry 2 can save Kukui

Bc i cant have it

No Lg

[night sleet]

Yeap this can help

[outer whale]

So what i'm thinking so far just from first look
Brock: USelene
Roxanne: UElio
Grant: Sina
Grusha: NC Red
Melony: NC Silver

[night sleet]

Lg may never come back need get use too it

Its like 99,9%

[haughty haven]

Why U Elio against Roxanne tho

[outer whale]

Speed debuffs

[haughty haven]

She has Rock Sync so no B Move from Elio

[outer whale]

Oh yeesh

[haughty haven]

I think Irida or V Elio is way better

Both can debuff speed, and remember

Roxanne has Ice weakness

[night sleet]

Then you can use stalwart pykou budget version cookies

Just need good skill gear save you

[haughty haven]

I tried to caculation it

Kukui cant survive with 0 SpDef

Even with both Circles

[night sleet]

Brock sync is wat type rock?

[haughty haven]

Water Special

And you know what

[night sleet]

Then get water dr in gears

[haughty haven]

Kukui has water weakness

[night sleet]

Aha lol then grant

[haughty haven]

That is the thing make him just cant survive against Brock

[night sleet]

But his flinch is just random luck then

[haughty haven]

Yeah, but it is only our options now

[night sleet]

Hmm

Maybe we try this

Selene ghestis elio?

Ghestis para mid selene poison side

[haughty haven]

So you’ll tank Surf ?

[night sleet]

He low spe attack

Mid

[haughty haven]

Bc i never believed in para btw

[neon prawn]

btw is the 9 days thing real

[night sleet]

I think this will be jp players gammble

Para on surf

Just ghestis low attack and special

Wat can make your team survive

If elio raise team sts would be no issue

[neon prawn]

can anyone tell me what line in the battle pastebin has the hse battle details

[haughty haven]

Quest

[neon prawn]

thx

[haughty haven]

Mb

[outer whale]

Do we know the bonus rules?

Oh there it is.

Time trial

[storm vector]

it's a staple at this point

been here for like what 4 HSEs now?

[outer whale]

Bonus rules seem easy though but I forgor, does tech EXR apply to the bonus?

[storm vector]

probs not

[outer whale]

I genuinely don't remember

[haughty haven]

no

That why Elio + Selene is anoying rn

[cyan tusk]

No

[wooden sparrow]

hmm?

[cyan tusk]

It’s always the base role

[cyan tusk]

SSDiantha on melony is spicy

But grusha wants her more ig

[wooden sparrow]

spicy in a good or bad way?

[haughty haven]

I plan to use her there too lol

[wooden sparrow]

it feels very odd to me that as it stands emmet has no place to go lol

[haughty haven]

Emmet without Ingo

[cyan tusk]

Emmet tank in a emmet/ncsilver/paulo team

[haughty haven]

But Tech

[cyan tusk]

Jk don’t consider me

[haughty haven]

Also Mc

[cyan tusk]

I still have to start planning

Im crying in the corner in my cakeless and cookieless era

There’s striker for N and supp for Hilbert

But I still have to give supp to Hlilie and striker to Vhop

[haughty haven]

Why Striker to V Hop ?

[cyan tusk]

Bc he’s op in the Dc

[haughty haven]

I thought super sparring ended already

[cyan tusk]

Yeah but still
I mean he’s going back to low priority ig

[haughty haven]

Now, bc that i’ll 3/5 NC Silver

I’ll probably 10/5 someone

Bc i can

[sullen pier]

[cyan tusk]

Well I’m in the same situation too tbh

I just don’t know who
Grusha seems one of the best picks overall, together with tapus

My deoxys is getting the 6/5 for the stats and that’s it

[haughty haven]

His SA is so shit i cant

[cyan tusk]

Yeah I’m just doing the stats but still….

Even alder got better SA lol

I think from this round the best is really Selene lol

[wooden sparrow]

just realized on grusha I have MC and gym leader but no tech so I'll slot in SS N instead of Pal. Candice

I'll be doing 10/5 Selene

[cyan tusk]

Quagg is over the roof between Hlilie and Selene awakening lmao

Elio too?

Elio is kinda good too. He gets a kinda field role

[cunning shore]

This is literally trash

[wooden sparrow]

elio's is fine

[haughty haven]

Oh hello Jo

[cunning shore]

Hello hello

[cyan tusk]

You can protect the team from brock’s debuff!!!!

[cunning shore]

I am not gonna invest in this HSE but I will still try to climb high

But boy some of the SA are basically sabotaging

[haughty haven]

Right? I think that is the worst SA, even worse than Lucas and Poppy

[cunning shore]

Yes

Worst so far I read

[cyan tusk]

Alt Iris: hi

[haughty haven]

Oh yeah

I dont even remember her SA

[cunning shore]

Is it safe to say best Ice Nuker vs Roxanne and best rock nuker vs Grusha?

Striker Nukers I guess

[cyan tusk]

I still have to match the stages with parameters and everything

But I’d say ssn can be really good against an ice weak mid

If caked

[acoustic quarry]

tho read it completly, the one who take the damage will take extra damage

[cunning shore]

I don't have that creature

[acoustic quarry]

so basicaly you sacrifice one unit

[cunning shore]

And Guzzlord doesn't have mega bulk

[haughty haven]

I have 2 set team in mind rn

[acoustic quarry]

👀

[haughty haven]

But idk if Silver can carry dmg alone

[cunning shore]

Once he loses the sand it think he will struggle

[haughty haven]

But V Hilbert definitely better than fk Grant bc he buff SpDef himself and debuff SpA

[acoustic quarry]

I think setup 1 is gucci imo

I SEE NO SINA THO HEEECK

[haughty haven]

Bc i dont have her

[acoustic quarry]

Ah

[haughty haven]

[acoustic quarry]

[cunning shore]

Whats the 3 bonuses?

Time, more attacks and what?

[haughty haven]

You can check the pin

[acoustic quarry]

gonna have to sumon on both elio and selene afterall

[haughty haven]

I wrote them all

[cunning shore]

More stats

Ooo

[wooden sparrow]

wait i forgot vhilbert was a tech and definitely just slots in with selene elio

yeah that's an excellent team

[cunning shore]

Time to work with Shiny Glaceon

[haughty haven]

Yeah, that is my original idea with that Tech problem, but now idk if Silver can handle dmg alone

[wooden sparrow]

swap fshauntal with irida, tripping strike lorelei?

[cyan tusk]

Dc Nemona for rock zone (?)

[haughty haven]

I might try presync Grusha with Silver ngl

[cyan tusk]

Use Dana SEUN

[wooden sparrow]

this was stupid actually i always forget the ice sync 😭

[haughty haven]

Hmm

[cyan tusk]

That’s not a problem if it’s not tied to field role

Just have good timing

[haughty haven]

Gymleader/MC and Tech

So anoying to work with it

Do i really want using Roxanne?

[wooden sparrow]

errr

og brock and potion spam?

fills tech and gym leader

where you'd use him is something i haven't figured out yet lmao

[haughty haven]

So funny that Brock can also debuff Atk

[storm vector]

the desperation really is getting to y'all heads isn't it

og brock?

fr....?

[haughty haven]

Yeah he can debuff Atk

…….

Idk lol

Silver definitely can kill 1000 Str ontype by himself right ?

[night sleet]

10/10 easy

5/5 may need good gears

[haughty haven]

NC Silver

Not SS Silver

[night sleet]

Uu his sync its not the best

You would need low def aoe befor he sync and have circle up and some up for insta b move maybe then

But i use him in dc and he not deal from sync good damage sadly b move hit harder

Also you need sync when sand is on

All make him realy annoing fast kill sand chipp damage will take time for bonus points too

Good idea is fish for his tmp reduce sync.

[cyan tusk]

Oh sssilver exists

[acoustic quarry]

can relate

[graceful pike]

he can flinch so nah

[graceful pike]

give

[tidal pine]

I’m curious how the Ice 3/4* pairs will rank in the sheet

I remember a good amount of them being kinda trash

Even for 3/4* standards

[graceful pike]

oh for sure

pryce

"Tech, MC/Gym Leader"

OH BOY I AM NOT READY

[gleaming raven]

what do you mean pryce, his superduper effective 5 cookie fixed all of his problems!

every single one

[cyan tusk]

Oh yeah pryce exists

btw do not underestimate gordie
tech+gym leader

@haughty haven he could go with NcSilver

[wooden sparrow]

actually I think i will!

so awkward to use lol

[cyan tusk]

He can remove rain with sun1!1!1!1

[acoustic quarry]

Grusha stage be like
" the earth is quaking bro"

[onyx current]

Sick

[cyan tusk]

Grusha be like use myself against me with the b move

[acoustic quarry]

I have 6 pins maybe i will try hard gear for top 100this time /o

[cyan tusk]

Im using pins to roll good champion/mc gears so im not rolling for this one but gl

[paper mist]

Finally free

How’s the HSE looking

[outer whale]

It begins...

[paper mist]

the multiple fights with ice/rock weaknesses is them trying to make us suffer less

and then there's brock

[outer whale]

ok let me read brock's battle real qui- why is his sync water.....

[paper mist]

he gathered up the rain and turned his drying pan into a crying pan

[deft trout]

Water you waiting for

[outer whale]

I'm keeping the brock image now for that

[paper mist]

here's your Fs for Brock

[outer whale]

not really actually.

Kukui has sauce

......oh...... Grusha has endure

[main pulsar]

Why’s he krool

[outer whale]

His name is Krusha

[main pulsar]

[paper mist]

surprised we didn't get a new Rock pair this month

[outer whale]

Lol. Lmao even.

[oak fulcrum]

Ice is nice… but the supports sure aren’t!

[sullen pier]

nICE

[hollow prism]

🤡

[sterile frost]

It's Glacia showtime if you really lack options

[static oar]

SS Diantha for Grusha?

is anyone trying to go in an on-type direction there?

I guess you can't really sacrifice freeze huh

not enough role compression to get all the multipliers, is that it?

[onyx current]

VLorelei would be so good with an exr

[onyx current]

She’s not a terrible support in ice thanks to that 50% increase in bail

[static oar]

gah why is pal Bea not a gym leader

so dumb

should have been seasonal theme imo instead of gym leader

[night sleet]

Wish for you that all your Christmas wishes comes true! Merry Christmas! Adas;)

[cyan tusk]

Good morning hse enjoyers and happy holidays y’all

[haughty haven]

Happy holidays

[paper mist]

Dexio in Tech PF Select but Sprint/Field didn’t get one again so I can’t grab Sina

[cyan tusk]

There’s also milo which was in the scout till a couple of hours ago lol

[oak fulcrum]

Did they remove him? He’s probably my highest priority support since all of them would be a move level for me

[tidal pine]

His banner just ended

[oak fulcrum]

oh you mean scout scout

I saw the select comment and thought those

[tidal pine]

I think that’s what Bicio meant

[oak fulcrum]

surprisingly, 6:30am brain is not spinning all its gears yet

[cyan tusk]

Yes his banner ended like yesterday or today and he’s already in the next batch of selects lol

Sprint / field limited units will need the mix pity ig

[tidal pine]

I do remember when the Ultra Alola protags and Arven didn’t appear in the anni selects

[cyan tusk]

But they are here now

Imma grab a copy of dexio and espeon for dc purposes

[acoustic quarry]

Bro is taking the whole screen lmao

[outer whale]

🥲

[cyan tusk]

Is that a signal we wants to be used next hse

[neon prawn]

he wants 10/5

[outer whale]

All supports are done..... and it's not looking good.

[haughty haven]

Look at Raihan

@outer whale why Olivia has Pryce face ?

She buffs all allies

[outer whale]

Oh my B. Will fix when i get back to work

[haughty haven]

Yeah, i think you’re too tired

[outer whale]

I only had 5 hours of sleep 🥲 👍

[haughty haven]

Go sleep now

I can help you, but dont let yourself into this too much

We have a lot of time before HSE happens

[outer whale]

But i don't so...

[haughty haven]

[outer whale]

It's fineeeee i just had coffee and sugar. I'll be in hyper mode for a few hours before burning out 🙃

[haughty haven]

More bonk

Can you grant me access to that sheet? I’ll help you a bit.

I dont want to see people suffer other than suffer in game

[signal needle]

Feeling good about this

Might replace bp olivia if i pull Elio

Theres like only 2 MC that fit the MC Criteria so why tf is it a thing

[hollow prism]

💀

Remember, Pal Bea is one of our better units

[paper mist]

Top 500 for me again at best

[oak fulcrum]

looking over my options for HS, candy options as of Thursday are 2 strike, 1 tech, 2 support, 1 field, 2 yellow. I'm definitely 3/5ing Diantha, and pulling on both the Elio/Selene banner as well as the HS banner (probably stopping at 3/5 Grusha). Other than maybe Sina are there any immediate candy upgrades that I'm lacking? I can fix the EX problem on maybe an extra 4 pairs but I think I'm mostly set right now tbh

[paper mist]

Not gonna do multis or candy anyone for this lol, got too many pairs to grab this month and I’d rather save my candies for Half Anni

Will have to hope for Elio copies and Selene/copies on their rerun’s dailies

[acoustic quarry]

Me praying C Blue can actually do something!

[cyan tusk]

What’s on the hse banner?

Grusha Paulo and..?

[static oar]

cBlue

[cyan tusk]

The 1/5 fiesta for me lmao

Might dip a couple multies if gio is kind

[static oar]

unfortunate how utterly limited Paulo is to get

what about Roxanne with Elio and Selene?

supposing Roxanne could survive Brock's sync, she could use wide guard to deal with surf post-sync

maybe that's too optimistic but it would be with two Alola circles in play

[haughty haven]

No Tech bonus

[static oar]

ah right

damn

[signal needle]

He suck

[outer whale]

Update: All Ice mons have been ranked

working on rock now.

and for anyone wondering.

[signal needle]

Whys Shauntal F on Melony?

[outer whale]

Special damage reduced

[signal needle]

Ya but she doesnt hv to be a nuker

Shes a Tech, she clears Rain and the debuffing

[outer whale]

yea, i was just relooking at it.

[signal needle]

That stage is suggesting NC Silver Paulo stuff but if you dont hv sandstorm synergy teams then the next best wluld be Hail teams

[sterile frost]

Dont disregard Pryce like that. He has a custom cookie and he can do ub Nita.

[hollow prism]

You should have just put a wide PrycePain across the whole fucking spreadsheet

💀

[acoustic quarry]

Noooooooooaaaah

[cyan tusk]

10/5 CBlue can help with rock zone stuff with Nemona

But I should stop saying stupid things

[sterile frost]

Wait is this Pryce face?! I never realized it until now!!!

[main pulsar]

You never actually type in emote?

Is called pryce pain

[sterile frost]

I prob seldom (or even never until now) used this particular emote and even if I used it I just didn't notice lol.

[outer whale]

We're really going downhill huh.

The HSE doc is done....

[tiny ore]

melony looks annoying

my only non special weather setter is summer steven

...who is summer steven and he sucks

cant afford to make icy winds worse w/ zone too

[cyan tusk]

Melony wtf

[outer whale]

Alright chat. Help me cook.

My thought process right now is:
USelene gold + red candy
Ss Silver + 2 gold
Sina: 1 sprint
UElio: 2 blue. unless i get lucky and have enough paid gems to select grusha ig.

And for context: my current pairs.

[outer whale]

Hmm

The lack of supports is really aggravating here ngl

[cyan tusk]

Is there any particular reason why you wanna throw your whole candy stash for this hse?

I’d not invest in elio or Selene. I’d consider units that are overall better like Vhilbert/Sina/ SSN

Oh and invest in gladion too. His debuffs + tm and potions can be really useful

[cunning shore]

Are you holding on to your Steven candy in hopes you get him 5/5 from dailies or something?

[oak fulcrum]

I think that is an 11/5 candy

[outer whale]

I already have 10/5 steven, i was an idiot and didn't realize the 5th tier gave out 2 candies.

[cunning shore]

[outer whale]

There was no indication unless you straight up clicked it

[cunning shore]

Misery

[oak fulcrum]

yeah, reading is overrated anyways

[outer whale]

I mean, i usually save them because I have no other use for them tbh

Although might save the support candies for gio, haven't seen his grid fully yet.

[cunning shore]

Do you think I can secure top 200 with 0 investments and no optimal units?

[paper mist]

my teams r very bad for this

Many 1/5s (I’m likely gonna candy Red if I don’t secure a copy from dailies since I use him in BR anyway)

[oak fulcrum]

oh are we all sacrificing 3k points against melony

[paper mist]

silver + paulo is a good combo tbf

[outer whale]

Kind of hard to slot in a tech when you're forced to only use physical DDers on Melony

Like Kukui/NC silver could work, but sync rushing with nc silver would be more optimal at higher str.

[cyan tusk]

Well kukui can actually sync rush with staggering 5 accelrock since he buys you turns

[oak fulcrum]

yeah my audible there is going to be one of paulo/kukui/ssn

realistically I'm probably going to end up with all three built

[neon prawn]

will dc nemo be one of the better units here unironically

she looks good for the ice stages imo

[cursive olive]

who maintains the high score grading sheet

[storm vector]

@outer whale

[cursive olive]

may i suggest replacing the melon with the melon from suika game

[haughty haven]

Hello HSE player, have fun with Elio’s B Move

I didn’t count Selene poison or GH from his Tm yet, with those hahahahahahaha

Also remember Elio need to use his Tm or Circle before he can use His B Move so more time lose

[sullen pier]

Time Trial being featured this time makes this even worse

[glossy ravine]

@outer whale wow, why are the rankings this batch so poor lol

Unit quality is sad

[cursive olive]

because dena shit

[glossy ravine]

Also what does the stat inf requirement mean

If there is no status or interference there's damage reduction?

[haughty haven]

Yes

[glossy ravine]

I think fall shauntal's Melony ranking is too low

You don't need her to do damage there

You can just use her to debuff and hail for another abuser like N or Hala

She's probably one of the most important units this HS

[haughty haven]

Maybe B- is good for Melon ?

[tidal pine]

I’m not too surprised seeing a large batch of 5 D’s or lower (Ice in particular has a good amount of bottom tier pairs)

[glossy ravine]

Hala's gauge issues are also overstated, I have a guide to playing Hala in comps

I'd say B

Since distributed evasion is great for icy winds as well

[haughty haven]

Bc yeah her debuff is nice but her dmg is really good with nuke and big dmg from B Move

And lose both is a very big lost

[glossy ravine]

Her Roxanne matchup should be lower

She'll pop because she's rock weak

Despite the fact that she kills fast

And I'm quite sure everyone will use Red Irida 1k for Roxanne anyway

[haughty haven]

Same as Sina anyway

Sina can destroy Roxanne even with Rock weak

[glossy ravine]

Yeah, Sina as well

[tidal pine]

Also, did the sheet forgot BP Candice?

[glossy ravine]

Sina users get a plus

[tidal pine]

Not that it matters because I don’t think she will rank that well anyways

[glossy ravine]

Yes

[haughty haven]

I dont use Shauntal so idk about her dmg

[glossy ravine]

Was about to say

[glossy ravine]

Pretty good

[haughty haven]

Do you think she can easy presync Roxanne?

[glossy ravine]

I think she can

She hurts a lot

[haughty haven]

Yeah

Tbh Link worked 10 hours for this so cant blame him

[glossy ravine]

Either SSN or Hilbert is

Mandated for Brock I think

Selene also works

But Brock and Melony are probably the hardest this time

[haughty haven]

Selene is best in slot for Brock anyway

Other just so slow against Brock

Imagine need 6 turn to para 3 enemy

[glossy ravine]

Also, I never thought I'd say this but

[cursive olive]

link just needs to replace the melon with the melon from suika game

[glossy ravine]

Invested Dana is a top 3 support this HS lmao

Just because of how rare mixed defenses are

[haughty haven]

Yeah, she is really good

When there is 2 SEUN stage

[cursive olive]

i mean, this thing causes psychological damage, just like the HSE

[haughty haven]

Her Tm is really good for HSE

[glossy ravine]

You can run her with any decent hail unit like bea

Or nessa

And cover a good backbone

Elio will explode without either Diantha/Paulo or some other buffer

[haughty haven]

Cant wait to use 17s B Move

[cursive olive]

yo ucan tell this because the whole list looks like someone went insane and feral making this

[haughty haven]

I tried my best to help him

And he is still insane

and me too

[glossy ravine]

Also, idt Glacia is that bad

I genuinely don't lol

[haughty haven]

She is

Her defensive buff is very poor

[sullen pier]

maybe you can ask him for edit perms so Link can shrug off the stress

yeah Glacia needs hail

[glossy ravine]

She isn't getting any As

[cursive olive]

idk

[haughty haven]

Like really poor

[glossy ravine]

But she definitely has some functional cores

[cursive olive]

i mean i cant really do more other than add the suika game melon which btw please do that

[glossy ravine]

She's exclusively a physical tank with hail yes

But it's a good cheap option

[haughty haven]

And she need to get hit to buff Aoe Def

[glossy ravine]

When link gives me perms I can help I guess

[haughty haven]

With 50/50 chance

[glossy ravine]

Glacia also gets the forfi variance

For both points and weird dodges

For Glacia you probably want to fish for mpr early

So she has two endures

She can be pretty fat if you let her

But not as good as Dana

[haughty haven]

But who can buff her Def early

[glossy ravine]

Essentially Dana at home lol

[haughty haven]

And gives her Hail at the same time

You can have Glacia + Irida

[sullen pier]

does she have a slot in Irida + NC Red comp for 1k

[haughty haven]

But then where Gymleader/Mc

[haughty haven]

I rather use Dana for SEUN

[glossy ravine]

Nessa Glacia is something that

[haughty haven]

Nessa can buff Def for Glacia

[glossy ravine]

Nah, don't

[haughty haven]

Also Nessa doesnt have

[sullen pier]

oh right Nessa the forgotten seasonal

[haughty haven]

Gymleader

[sullen pier]

she is actually great for this HSE

i don;t think she is used for nuking tho?

[haughty haven]

No

[glossy ravine]

I did run nessa Glacia some time ago

[haughty haven]

And idt she can tank at high str at all

[glossy ravine]

And they have really good synergy

But requires a lot of finesse

[glossy ravine]

She can

But physical only

[haughty haven]

Yeah

[glossy ravine]

The key is to time Ice face with Glacia taunt

[haughty haven]

That why i suggested D against Brock and Melon

[glossy ravine]

To manage health

[haughty haven]

Bc Special

[glossy ravine]

But idt any serious comps will use her

This HS is too stuck on some broken units

Diantha comps will get grant

Silver for Grusha

Some variant of Sina or red for Roxanne

[haughty haven]

I’m surprise not using Rock against Grusha tho

[glossy ravine]

Selene Hilbert for Brock

[glossy ravine]

NC silver

[haughty haven]

Oh Nc

I thought SS

Mb

[glossy ravine]

Diantha checks Grant to a T

[haughty haven]

So Hail against Melony ?

[glossy ravine]

So I'd be surprised if any comps that aren't Diantha see success there

[haughty haven]

I plan to use Ice team there lol

[glossy ravine]

Which one

[haughty haven]

SSN Gladion Grusha

[glossy ravine]

That's fine I guess?

I feel SS N is best used for melony

[haughty haven]

A lot of healing when Ice Zone on right ?

Bc Grant will spam a ton of Brutal Swing

[glossy ravine]

That works too I guess

[haughty haven]

But tbf i still craft team

[glossy ravine]

The only thing I know is Dana/Melony is mandatory for Brock or Melony

Paulo Elio also works I guess

The special tank combos are very rare

[haughty haven]

My only problem is Selene tho

She really need Elio unless 10/5 ?

And Elio + Selene is not that great against Brock rn

[glossy ravine]

I think it's fine

[haughty haven]

Nah

[glossy ravine]

But I have a feeling we'll get very different comps

[haughty haven]

They lack Tech

And no Tech can buff SpDef aoe

[glossy ravine]

Selene doesn't need it

But you mandate Paulo

Yes

Either Paulo or Olivia

[haughty haven]

No tech

[glossy ravine]

Is it necessary to have tech

Or what

[haughty haven]

3k

Bonus

[glossy ravine]

I thought Brock was just status

Ohh

[haughty haven]

That the problem

[glossy ravine]

Idt you realistically meet all bonuses

[haughty haven]

You’ll want it anyway

Bc 3k is quite huge

Rn Selene can survive Brock Sync with double circle and the shield she has from grid

But need lower some SpA for it

[signal needle]

ATSTAEBOARD

[wooden sparrow]

thoughts on this draft? assume all would be at least 3/5

[neon prawn]

Brock is the one with mind games 9 right?

[wooden sparrow]

yeah

[neon prawn]

What is your plan for surviving brock's sync? Elio only buffs his defenses and iirc vilbert doesn't buff ally defenses . Do you have godly gear and plan on using that+ circle dr?

I don't think u selene can pre sync? especially with no flinch

[wooden sparrow]

I guess I should have the asterisk that both my elio and selene will be 10/5 by hse so I wouldn't worry about her surviving lol

no one else will be above 3/5 besides gen pool melony

[neon prawn]

oh now it makes sense

[wooden sparrow]

in fact for that team I'm really interested in seeing if lodge steven worked instead of vhilbert

[neon prawn]

thankfully brock doesn't spam aoe

[wooden sparrow]

but then I'm very confused on where to put vhilbert after that as an ice zone user, since the only real two ice zone viable stages (roxanne and grusha) are already taken for that function

unless I can come up with some weird ass cycle so I don't take an ice zone sync

[neon prawn]

could vilbert go to grusha instead of paldice if l stove ends up working

or could that grusha comp not sync under ice zone

[wooden sparrow]

hmm that's a interesting idea

i've been pretty reluctant separating vbruno and pal candice cause he helps out with her pretty hungry gauge and then defense drops

and honestly if I could find an excuse to not use ss n i'd take it (i haven't candied him for this event yet and he's just weird lol)

[neon prawn]

ss n could also be replaced but then you lose attack debuffs which could be risky

[wooden sparrow]

if attack debuffs are that necessary then vhilbert can solve that with noxious hit on his grid

which yes I understand comes at cost of probably a multiplier on his grid and, um, having to use toxic lol

[cyan tusk]

I might even copy this but still unsure about Hilbert there

I might give up 3K and go for bpolivia tbh

Also rock zone overlapping ice zone

[wooden sparrow]

when thinking about how the battle would go I'd sync with hilbert first just for the support exr and to get ice zone out of the way

[cyan tusk]

What if you go full ice on brock and use Selene and Elio elsewhere?

What I have learnt from previous hse is that the most obvious combos do not result in top high placement in the ranking in the end

So brock calling for status is an obvious Selene call, but maybe full ice with Vhilbert (debuff) and an ice supp that can buff spdef might come in handy

[wooden sparrow]

could be a good call

on the surface it looks like grant is their best

roxanne has rock sync, grusha has EQ's

[cyan tusk]

You can also do like elio Selene and Diantha

Trying to pre sync something

You could use them on grant and move grusha to brock. For example you might even wanna flinch the surf post sync, doing something like grusha / V Hilbert / F shauntal

Where you can flinch/freeze the surf

[wooden sparrow]

smth like this?

actually fshauntal has to go to grusha

[cyan tusk]

I’m just throwing random ideas I don’t even have focused on the stage carefully, just sharing previous experience bc I’m not gonna invest in stuff to climb high this time

[wooden sparrow]

there's no tech there

[cyan tusk]

You could swap her and sina

[wooden sparrow]

yeah that's the call i made

[cyan tusk]

Just gamble grusha’s ice fang post sync

To flinch/freeze

Also I think on Melony you don’t need to candy ssn, just use him as a debuffer

Melony will sing

[wooden sparrow]

good point I'm hoping to not do that lmao

tyty this is a good 2nd draft to look off of

at the end of the day tho the events starts more than 2 weeks from now we just have to wait and see

[haughty haven]

My only problem with Silver x SSN is

Can Silver end the battle before sand run out ?

Remember N B move is very long

[cyan tusk]

It’s so weird that the only way you give another sand to NcSilver is pairing him with emmet or Paulo but neither of them is tech

[haughty haven]

Nah

Tech Kabutop

It’ll die bc no debuff

Hmm

But

I think still have a chance

Bc Melony Max Move

[wooden sparrow]

if kabutops had a better support than melony to work off of that'd actually be genius

[haughty haven]

Tbf

We only have 5 sandstorm pairs

And only 1 is Tech

[cyan tusk]

Tbf tech kabutops has both mc and tech

[haughty haven]

Throw Melony away ?

[wooden sparrow]

is this the part where we throw in nc blue/arc steven and call it a day

actually not nc blue he's ice weak lol

[haughty haven]

Our supps this time just so sad

How many supp Ice/Rock can debuff ?

Debuff offensive stats

Ah yes

We have total 2 supps

[wooden sparrow]

best i got for you is lodge arven with overwhelm 9 lol

[haughty haven]

Grusha and L Arven

Imagine Grusha + Nc Silver + Tech Kabutop is a team

[wooden sparrow]

I will say I've been trying to find an excuse to use Grusha on Melony and then use VHilbert as a tank

[haughty haven]

Tbh V Hilbert + Irida + Gladion can work

But only on special stage bc Hilbert buff SpDef
