Damage Challenge

[nova remnant]

what's the rng btw with Geeta? TM?

[icy pendant]

I think just damage rolls and getting certain enemy attacks to miss

[prisma quail]

Timing on how long animations are.

You basically need the enemy Grimmsnarl to miss with his attack to speed up animations

[nova remnant]

Oh

That's a worse kind of rng than I thought

[prisma quail]

Real life timers are bad for this game.

[ivory kestrel]

how are people getting 2M here?

[orchid crescent]

this mode has a lot of rng lol

[slender venture]

Last I saw it was only one player

[icy pendant]

prolly Oleana go brrr

[ivory kestrel]

now there are plenty of 2M's

[safe prawn]

Caked red and oleana

[gilded panther]

Oleana needs to be 3/5 right ?

[nova remnant]

Yeah pretty much

[slender venture]

I did see a 1.6 mil clear that relied on Oleana venom drench spam

[gilded panther]

Damn tech unit

[slender venture]

Which Emma provided because of faster team gauge

[icy pendant]

yeah techs just do not do damage in this mode at any less than 3/5

[nova remnant]

Ngl tempted to candy my anni Skyla for eventual flying DC and the Noland UB

[ivory kestrel]

i wonder if Klara would perform well here... well we'll only know when the poison stage rotates back

[icy pendant]

her damage comes from B move so probably not?

[nova remnant]

From what I heard Klara relies a lot from bmove for damage

[icy pendant]

we also have ranked poison ST later this month

[slender venture]

Her tech nuke is okay and is even strike ex but Oleana outclasses for ST and Roxie for 3v3

She is kinda in an awkward position for DC

[nova remnant]

Oleana

[thick stump]

yea that’s the best im doing lol

now we wait for friday

[icy pendant]

yeah no Oleana, CHop, or CNate myself guess I’ll perish

[ivory kestrel]

replace Redlax with BP Janine, good enough to carry me to 500k. Just need to poison on first turn with Janine, and get both mprs on Janine and Koga's TM

[thick stump]

without ex? neither koga nor janine are

and im not going to just for this lol

[rapid sparrow]

How consistent is Koga 500k and is it possible to do better

With 1/5 oleana

[nova remnant]

We can perish together for dragon DC

[ivory kestrel]

only Koga needs EX

[thick stump]

yea i'm not willing to ex him for this lol

appreciate the recommendation tho

[rapid sparrow]

Bruuuh he needs ex too?

Fm in the bum

[slender venture]

What do you expect

Tech nuke out of thin air

[orchid crescent]

remember, you dont have to spend too much resources In this mode if you dont want to!

[ivory kestrel]

Koga was a fave of mine back then, I EX'd him as soon as it was available for him. So fun to use in LA challenge runs

[orchid crescent]

its twice a week and it'll prob last forever lol

[slender venture]

Koga was the first ever recorded LA solo in this game

[thick stump]

was he? wow

[gilded panther]

don't know if it's worth to make Oleana 3/5 just for this ...

[icy pendant]

I have Zerena but no big funny dragon nuke off-sync

[slender venture]

Plainly no

[gilded panther]

yeah tech candies are so hard to obtain, doesn't seem to be a good use :/

[compact scaffold]

I guess for the ranked event only 500k is enough for the special rewards so if you can get that now it's not worth investing further, no?

[ivory kestrel]

Granma Drasna gaming incoming?

[slender venture]

It's 3v3 dragon

[ivory kestrel]

was joking, even ST, i dont think Drasna will perform well. Everytime i tried to use her, i feel... underwhelmed

[slender venture]

She is the best gen pool dragon tech sync at least

And her whole kit relies on super effective so at least it works in dc

[nova remnant]

At least you have some way to do aoe damage
I'm stuck with Lucas and Cyrus

[ivory kestrel]

she has Superduper Effective 5, not Superpowered 5

[latent plover]

That's not saying much since you only have Lisia and Ryuki to compare her to

and both of them suck

[nova remnant]

She's stronger than ryuki?

[slender venture]

Oof forgot about Ryuki

But I think Drasna is slightly better

He has zero sync multipliers in grid

[ivory kestrel]

how about Lucas, he's a Tech, has 2 sync multipliers outside of his own Tech multi

[slender venture]

Lucas is not free

[thick stump]

kid named double down 9

[orchid crescent]

i just checked and ryuki's nuke is stronger lol

[slender venture]

Sorry am blind

Yea Ryuki better than Drasna

[orchid crescent]

why did we get 2 gen pool dragon techs

[thick stump]

if i had a nickel…

[slender venture]

A caked Ryuki should be the best option for when 3v3 dragon arrives for those without Zerena or NC Nate

But that is an investment

[nova remnant]

My 1/5 Ryuki

[orchid crescent]

an investment i stupidly made when i was starting lmao

strike ex roles are in such high demand for my roster i wish i didnt give it to him lmao

but atleast i have a good dragon nuker now lol

[slender venture]

Now that I think of it

Should see how much stronger his sync is than Zerena/NC Nate

He could be not so far off their score lmao

[stark sphinx]

This is the best i can do with geeta😣

[orchid crescent]

i dont have either, but looking at their numbers, zerena is stronger only after nuke plus she has support ex, and nate's damage is about the same with full investment but he sets field(also his bmove might as well be another sync lol)

[prisma quail]

Huh... I thought Dialga got his cake role. Apparently not yet

[covert geyser]

716 with geeter

not enough

843

[modest ledge]

Ryuki is fun to use though that counts for something edit: am 15 mins behind

[plush palm]

gonna waiting for my last support coin before i give this mode a shot

i wanna test out exr emma

[prime hill]

Yo guys is ariana good here

[modest ledge]

I went ahead and invested in Roxie (I was planning to anyway so it doesn’t feel bad), but I don’t have Barry EX’d or the resources to do so at the moment since I was initially going to try Koga. I am stuck at 800kish for this reason. At least I have his sweet EX outfit.

I like Koga too so I don’t feel bad about that either

[copper otter]

the amount of complaining on this mode is.....yeesh

[covert geyser]

Lower the threshold to 500k instead of 1m

[copper otter]

the rewards aren't even worth to begin with

[covert geyser]

free pairs aren't worth?

[slender venture]

You get them either way

[copper otter]

this whole illusion that you're required to get 1 million points is fabricated. You're not being gatekept on any rewards, you're not being forced to get 1 million points, the free pairs will be gotten in time.

[slender venture]

Yeah it's fully artificial

[copper otter]

the amount of people complaining about this are one of two sides.

"This event is bad because you have to have 3/5 units."

"This event is bad because you have to rely on 'cheap' strategies."

Literally, everyone is genuinely making this whole event feel more gatekept than it actually is when in reality, all you're really getting is just tickets that will be obtained in the next event and the next one and so on and so on.

[rose basalt]

unless u wanna brag about your alscore

[frail owl]

3 mins is short tho, should’ve been 5 mins

More room for some strategies instead of spamming, not gonna stop people but will be less strict

[copper otter]

I'm having fun with it (despite my sync not critting half the time) but the amount of people saying that this mode is bad just because of a strat, or not having the "right" units is arbituary and don't amount to anything P2W. we're all getting the same rewards at the end of the day.

[frail owl]

They said the same about BR

[copper otter]

Battle rally is different tbh

[vernal condor]

Get mad (ik it's not you)

[latent plover]

It's literally permanent so you'll eventually get all of them anyways

[copper otter]

With that said, i'm curious how some folks got 2 mil. Sounds like 5/5

[latent plover]

Oleana has twofer 9 at 5/5 so no need for Barry

Maybe that's why

[slender venture]

It's bugged with twofer 9

The animation plays even tho it shouldn't

[cloud timber]

if they're poisoned

[latent plover]

Really? That's a shame

[slender venture]

If they are not poisoned there is no powerplay

It's tricky

[cloud timber]

yea

it's why it's still hard to see comps without bp barry/colress being successful

even though i've seen at least one reach 1.6m somehow

[slender venture]

Emma Oleana core

[cloud timber]

feo tapioca getting that with emma and something else

[slender venture]

I think that resorted to venom drench spam without twofer

Since that team is fast

With Emma

[cloud timber]

still an immense gauge drain and no move gauge accel lategame from what i can tell

but yea it was 3/5 oleana so no twofer

they move more and moves take time

[copper otter]

I did this score with venom drench failing.

So she can still do the strat. But it's less braindead

I've also learned that Tackle is lowkey nice for Sync rushing

Maybe leaf eevee could have use with that

[latent plover]

Cool

[cloud timber]

yea i remember using a ton of tackle debuffs with sonia and mc alcremie

[latent plover]

My Oleana will remain 2/5 for now

[cloud timber]

very useful move

[dense citrus]

Bro how?? my best with that team is a third of that

[tulip egret]

I know the stages rotate, but do the tickets refresh next time we do the stage

Example if you get 1 million today for poison weak, and in a few months you get that again, do we get another 100 tickets?

[copper otter]

Yes

It's like CS

[tulip egret]

Thanks

[rapid sparrow]

Yeeeeaaah I won't even get 500k

Don't feel like EXing Koga

Tough times for me

Will keep my eyes for potential teams on here

[latent plover]

500k is really hard even with EX Koga

[rapid sparrow]

I can be convinced to candy Geeta or SS Roxie

But exing Koga or candying Oleana

Not in my books rn

And 2 candies while i am trying to save up ehhhh
Will just chill for now

[normal parcel]

So close

[rapid sparrow]

Unfair 2k

[covert geyser]

Caked?

[normal parcel]

1660

[normal parcel]

Yes

[covert geyser]

I see

[normal parcel]

Maybe if I had +100 instead of +95 from skill gears

[latent plover]

I do want to candy Geeta but not enough field coins

And I'm running out of omni candy coins

[copper otter]

I candied oleana for this. Won't regret bc of ranked

[normal parcel]

I guess 1m is doable with a bit of optimization

I tried to optimize for just 1 MPR because getting 2 is hell

[pure stream]

Okay so Grimmsnarl can’t be poisoned in this challenge..so who do they want you to use?

[plush gyro]

do we have listed teams that got x scores?

here i mean

[icy pendant]

[plush gyro]

the pins doesnt show a doc about submitted teams that managed to get x score

or i am blind

[icy pendant]

third pin

[plush gyro]

ok i was blind

my mind didn't process the first link in the title

thanks

[icy pendant]

haha all good, maybe it needs to be in a bigger font because that always works right

[plush gyro]

this poison type damage is annoying ngl

[copper otter]

What do you mean can't?

She can be

[modest ledge]

Yeah poison type damage is like half of the timer if you’re using Koga it feels like

[pure stream]

I used Geeta, used her poison move and the Grimmsnarl didn’t get poisoned at all

I didn’t record it because I don’t record all of my matches

[copper otter]

?

[icy pendant]

was grimmsnarl already inflicted with paralysis

because you absolutely can poison Marnie

[devout pelican]

Yeah, Marnie can be poisoned

[pure stream]

Wish I knew

[pure stream]

No because I was focusing on poisoning with Geeta and Emma to inflict (or at least try to) damage

[icy pendant]

Can you replicate the clear and record it so we can see where you're going wrong?

[pure stream]

I’ll see if I can whenever I find some time

[icy pendant]

or just what your sequence is up to the mortal spin, either you have a conflicting status condition or you're poisoning before the mortal spin

[normal parcel]

I guess is possible to get 1m with caked Geeta with proper skill gears and 1 mpr + 1 play rough miss

[pure stream]

And also, who am I building around for damage? Cause my Geeta is only 1/5, but my Emma is 3/5, yet Geeta deals more damage somehow

[copper otter]

Don't do dps; do sync damage

Sync rushing is the meta for high scores

[icy pendant]

At 3/5, Emma's sync is just as good as her B move dps

but there's no world where a Geeta should be doing comparable damage

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[pure stream]

Okay so that’s gonna be a problem and I’ll show you why later. I tried the Barry method where I spam stun spore and in the 2nd iteration, do the same thing but towards the end of the second cycle, use mortal spin to poison them and then sync with Geeta. For some reason, they still didn’t get poisoned off of mortal spin

[latent plover]

You have 3/5 Geeta so that's good

Got someone like SC Steven?

[devout pelican]

Speaking of dps, Mudskipper did a "normal" run and got 900k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKv3xgQ2FZY

[icy pendant]

you've got an rng 1m clear with Geeta assuming you have sc steven and bp barry

[devout pelican]

You know, as normal as just queue up moves

[icy pendant]

well this fails because they're paralyzed

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[latent plover]

Maybe Redlax could work

Give it a try I guess

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[latent plover]

Yeah

Use Red's tm only to give Geeta super effective up next

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[pure stream]

You can’t paralyze and poison? So how am I not supposed to DPS and just use sync moves if I can’t spam anything?

[icy pendant]

you can only inflict one status condition at a time, so queue a poison before stun spore

[latent plover]

You aren't DPS-ing if you use BP Barry

[rotund sierra]

[icy pendant]

glimmora bmove is used once before second sync (geeta's first) for def drops, then once with as little time on the timer as possible

[pure stream]

I think I see what I need to do. Wait so what’s Emma doing then?

[icy pendant]

I found using Emma that I scored about 200k better just clicking B move in regular chain when it became available, but she also doesn't have a strong sync to really work in the syncspam team

[cloud timber]

i would expect redlax to hit 600-700k based on what i've done

quite a bit of disadvantage over sc steven

[pure stream]

So basically poison the Grimmsnarl, spam stun spore, use both Geeta’s b move and sync move and just use Emma’s move when available in the end?

[cloud timber]

my best was 750k with larry

[devout pelican]

Emma can't really do much this DC

It's just not her forte

[icy pendant]

yeah even 500k with her is a struggle

[devout pelican]

Single Target - Tech time
Multi Target - Strike time

[thick holly]

yeah

[devout pelican]

Wait for MT Poison, maybe

[thick holly]

Geeta and Emma really don't like this stage

And Oleanna won't perform well if you lack 3/5

So ouch in every way

[proud minnow]

MT Poison is in October

I honestly kinda hate how my worse types are earlier in the rotation

[cloud timber]

i think it'd be worse in the long run to see your units perform gradually worse lol

[proud minnow]

Yea, I’m kind of salty that ST Bug happens before any of the Fairy stages

I can understand why Grass, Ice and Electric stages happen quite late tho

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[modest ledge]

Yeah hopefully we’re getting the worst out of the way early

[cloud timber]

pretty easy to see single poison as being one of the worst

[modest ledge]

I’m feeling like single target most things will be horrible lol

[timid tree]

i told myself my goal was 500,000 so i would be done at 500,005, but then i had a vision….. half of me expected it to not work at all but i actually got a new high score with it. still a pretty clunky team for multiple reasons and i cant seem to get a higher score with them, but ss cyrus is my favorite sync pair so im just happy i could score over half a mil with him.

[mossy adder]

Any reccomendations for poison teams? I also have Barry BP, Red, and SS Giovanni.

[civic island]

Tech + Strike caked units 📈

[cloud timber]

i'd try geeta oleana barry

[drowsy pier]

Is Redlax + Colress better or worse than BP Barry + SC Steven?

[cloud timber]

i would believe sc steven to be way better than redlax here

[drowsy pier]

If Redlax TM refreshes every time, isn’t Supereffective Next better than rebuff?

[civic island]

Depend if Red is caked

[tall musk]

Hihi any recommendations ik my poison roster is cooked 😭

[drowsy pier]

Assume Redlax is EXR

[mossy adder]

I tried it and I’m not doing very good, what’s the grids and rotations?

[pure stream]

1/5 Geeta ain’t cutting it and I don’t have that many candies to get her to max

[civic island]

Sc Steven got Rebuff and SE

He's damn good

[cloud timber]

i don't have oleana but it should always be first sync barry second sync geeta

[tall musk]

I assume Oleana doesn't really do much at 1/5

[cloud timber]

and then i'd try doing the rest of the syncs with oleana

[mossy adder]

I can 5/5 my Oleana but I don’t want to spend my candies Willy-nilly, what should I get it to?

[cloud timber]

3/5 would be solid

looking for power play

[mossy adder]

Thx.

[cloud timber]

if you want to preserve candies you can definitely hit 500k with geeta redlax barry

or at least i could

[tall musk]

1/5 Geeta?

Or 3/5

[cloud timber]

3/5

[tall musk]

Ah

Crying in no field candies

[cloud timber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiaeqqwL0j4

there's always that

though you'd really want ex koga and bp janine

[tall musk]

Makes sense

[thin wren]

any type ya all think that will have a less than 500k f2p clear

[cloud timber]

maybe single fighting would be worse than this

no tech ex f2p fighting units

wait we just did that though lol

[warped gulch]

[brisk shale]

st fire?

[warped gulch]

https://youtu.be/2g-d9Fu_T-0?si=FTv7J6z6si6SkoeL

Fighting still able to reach 500k with Riley

[civic island]

I feel like fairy is one of the weakest (f2p)

[warped gulch]

Who can nuke ?

[civic island]

But maybe tl lillie ex?

[warped gulch]

[brisk shale]

For aoe fairy we have

Valerie

[civic island]

Vs3 maybe BP Valerie

[brisk shale]

And Valerie

[civic island]

But single uhhh

[tall musk]

BP Valerie would work

Hmm

Lodge Lillie nuke?

[warped gulch]

Yeah single seem only TL Lillie

[umbral sleet]

Lillie & Comfey

Overwhelm 9:

Lowers the target's Attack by one stat rank when the user's attack move against it is successful.

Synchro Healing 1:

Restores the HP of all allied sync pairs by approximately 20% of their maximum HP after using the user's sync move.

Natural Remedy:

Removes all status conditions from the user the first time it is inflicted by any status condition each battle.

Themes:

Fairy | Alola | Fancy Lady
Alola Adventurer

[warped gulch]

Trap again

[cloud timber]

i think everything hits 500k min

[brisk shale]

I forgor it hasn't relisilience

[warped gulch]

Double Down 3 and Trap and Sync 5

She also has SEUN on Tm if grid for it

[cloud timber]

besides normal types xd

[brisk shale]

And pecking order innate

[warped gulch]

Really bad ngl

She need crit buff so i dont think we can find any debuffer for her

[tall musk]

A few fairy moves have slow animations too iirc

[modest ledge]

How many syncs are usually expected with 1 sprint pair using the Colress/Barry strategy w/ minimal setup?

[warped gulch]

Normally 4

Oh wait sprint

Then 5

[modest ledge]

Ok cool ty

Trying to get a ballpark for the next few DCs, that’s helpful

[civic island]

If only Katherine had EX
She got some serious dmg

[cloud timber]

oh yea i was looking at katherine but i didn't realize no ex

[thin wren]

bp barry and colress buff crit

[civic island]

Lillie advantage is getting SE next but Kath is self sufficient to some extent, so stuff like Dana can help

Or tech sylveon

[warped gulch]

And you know using them for buffing 3 crit is hell right ?

[thin wren]

Playing Poma is already hell

[mossy adder]

Here’s my play and here are my builds. I’m aiming for a good 1M if possible, any suggestions?

[cloud timber]

i'd think berserker over toxic power on oleana would be better

dunno for sure

i wouldn't have more to add

with not having oleana and all

[civic island]

Save SE next for your last sync if you can

[devout pelican]

If the Marnie stage in ranked is identical to this one, I suppose it's a good investment for Oleana

I can't imagine myself trying to get 1m off Geeta

[warped gulch]

Do you aim for medal ?

[devout pelican]

Probably not that huge into it

I'm only doing DC to get new pairs

[modest ledge]

It’s pretty fun. I’d like more things like this, CS, and Battle Rally to do weekly

[civic island]

Weekly things are fine, DC is too fast imo

[modest ledge]

I don’t like dailies, but 3-4 days is fine for something as short as this imo

And unlike those other modes you aren’t actually missing anything if you miss it for whatever reason

(It feels like you are now but in a few months it won’t feel that way)

[devout pelican]

twice every week can definitely be daunting. You need to deal with it within 3-4 days period

It's still new right now, but I can assume it's gonna start getting exhausting down the line

[modest ledge]

And you can get a reasonable score in ~15 mins. As long as you aren’t pushing hard on every single one you shouldn’t feel too burned out

[devout pelican]

And there's definitely the issue of your favorites not doing stellar, even if they are the recommended type

[modest ledge]

Well sure but that’s also the case for every other game mode lol

[civic island]

So glad ssRoxie is good
So far my fav have the bad habits of being trash

[modest ledge]

I like ssRoxie a lot too. Great character paired with a better Pokemon

[devout pelican]

Like, imagine your favorite Rock type is NC Silver. He's gonna suck here

Not his fault, it's just the buffer damage with every moves

[warped gulch]

Ehhh he still be ok

[modest ledge]

He’s not going to suck but there are probably better options

[warped gulch]

Only enemy get dmg by sandstorm

[devout pelican]

That's still additional 2 seconds per move

[warped gulch]

Look at Poison

He also sprint so

Not that bad tbh

[civic island]

He compensate for triple at least

[thin wren]

I hope emmet can do fine here as the main damage

[civic island]

Probably Gordie will save the f2p

[devout pelican]

Maybe I am overthinking things with the damage buffer. Hope I am wrong

[civic island]

With DC Nemona maybe

[devout pelican]

"You have DC Nemona? I didn't do DC"

[civic island]

Rip

BP units what are those

[devout pelican]

Players when no content : We want contents!
Players when content : Stop! No more content!

[modest ledge]

NC Silver will probably be fine. A good striker nuke with a nuclear BMove as a finisher you’ll easily break 1M

BMove will also guarantee deny turns which makes it more valuable than a lot of the other B Moves we’ve had the opportunity to use so far in DC

[sacred badger]

haaah

i think i'll do SC Hilda gaming

[modest ledge]

I don’t especially like NC Silver but at least for multi target I can’t see how he won’t be good

Or good enough

[sacred badger]

just buff her ATK/DEF and SPD.

and one that SEUN's for her DPS

[civic island]

He got two 90% multipliers, circle, sprint cake and non mitigated aoe bmove
He'll be great for vs3

Oh and 50% from his base passive

I think there will probably dome crazy scores bcs of Paulo

[modest ledge]

I really couldn’t see another rock unit doing better but I don’t know the meta all that well so I was trying to be conservative lol

I’m definitely not too worried about rock AoE

[thin wren]

isn't it 20% teamwide?

[brisk shale]

Both

[pure stream]

My god, my poison units are useless for damage

They did players who don’t invest much dirty

[last stream]

The corb exchange is also rough. There isn't a feasible way to get the monthly 100k orbs.

At best you can maybe get 6 exchanges per month.

[sweet grail]

i made a calculation post

takes about 4.2 years or so to have orbs on every unit

assuming you whale every month like someone

[last stream]

base 7500 or +10E?

[sweet grail]

+10E

if it's base 7500

not that long

[last stream]

2 years of the corb login + all event exchanges?

[sweet grail]

Every day, you can get 900 orbs by beating up Janine, 1800 if you get the Daily Orb Pack. You also get one Daily Ticket, which can be exchanged to 1000 Orbs. Furthermore, if you are decent with the Trainer Lodge, every day nets you 100 Lodge Stones on average, which is equal to another 1000 orbs daily.

Each month, you can get 100,000 from the Rally, as well as 50000 for each Monthly gem pack you buy (limit 10). Each month also runs a few events (I don't remember how many exactly, but I assume around 5 to 6, counting Pokemon Masters Day), and each event gives you 1000 orbs each.

So if you put all of that together, it would take roughly... 4.2 years to actually get every unit to 70 energy cap, while costing about 5000 Dollars roughly (depends on the region, pricing, etc too) but it's a rough estimate.

If you choose to NOT buy anything, and go for the F2P route then it would take you about 22 years to get them all. Game's definitely EoS by then, Pokemon IP or not (unless?)

Then again

This is based on my account back when I wrote it 2 months ago (350 units)

[last stream]

except new units keep coming :X

[warped gulch]

[rain copper]

just dont pull

[last stream]

kinda wish Corbs were available as presents

[rain copper]

[sweet grail]

remember when we can infinitely farm for them?

[last stream]

if only there wasn't a cap

[sweet grail]

Even if we

did something like

[warped gulch]

• 7500 for full base grid
• 20 000 for +2 energy

[vagrant ivy]

lmao

[warped gulch]

[sweet grail]

Exchange daily tickets only

would take

100k+ daily tickets

[vagrant ivy]

remember when there wasn't +energy

wasn't that long ago actually

[sweet grail]

[vagrant ivy]

i was wondering why they made rally give 100k orbs total

that's why

[warped gulch]

I’m swimming in Orb

[sweet grail]

gimme

[warped gulch]

Now: I’m too poor

[rain copper]

the Lear missions gave out a lot of orbs

hi too poor

[sweet grail]

i remember

[warped gulch]

[sweet grail]

dumping orbs away

[last stream]

i spent those

[sweet grail]

because i was afraid of the 99999 cap

lmfao

that was way back then

i tried to maintain a 300k limit

then

[warped gulch]

Why do i always forget about this ?

[sweet grail]

T H E U P D A TE

[rain copper]

i still have 200k orbs left despite spending them like crazy

[rain copper]

memory issue

[last stream]

and there's probably going to be some new incremental system coming in anni

[warped gulch]

[sweet grail]

yah

imagine

anni belik

DOUBLE THE DAILY TICKETS

ORB EXPANSIONS SLASHED BY HALF

then people would get more rolecakes

but

[warped gulch]

Aw yes, Anni is close and i still dont save any gems for

[sweet grail]

whale for it then lawl

[rain copper]

[sweet grail]

i'm spent so

not gonna do it again for a long, long time

damn you bianca

[warped gulch]

Or i can just get those new mf after like 3-4 multi like most mf i got

[warped gulch]

Do you have Bianca ?

I remember today is her last day right ?

[sweet grail]

yget out

[sweet grail]

the pity came.... with a reasonable price

[warped gulch]

Ob right

5/5 NC Bianca

[sweet grail]

i mean

would you pity if you get 5/5?

[warped gulch]

I mean……..

[sweet grail]

I'd rather not

like gimme 1/5 early and i'd double candy just to be done with it

[warped gulch]

Do you know my story about 2 pity in SS Serena banner ?

[sweet grail]

[rain copper]

[sweet grail]

no but it sounds like a really good story

[warped gulch]

So you dont know about it ?

• 1st pity: 1/5 SS Serena
• 2nd pity: still 1/5 SS Serena

[last stream]

Cheren pity...

[sweet grail]

that's a good story

you should do another

like 3rd pity 1/5

[devout pelican]

I definitely noticed a gaping hole in my orbs since expansion. And I used to complain about capping at 99,999

[warped gulch]

Tbh i’m just so new back then

[sweet grail]

now you get all the units

smh

especially the ones that are actually needed for hse

[devout pelican]

Not all units need an expansion anyway

[sweet grail]

mostly PF MF

but

yeah

[warped gulch]

Like i pitied SS Serena 2 times ~~ and picked Lillie for 2nd pity~~, pitied Anni Raihan, pitied N

And i refused to reroll the account

[rain copper]

[devout pelican]

I did give Guzma 10E because he deserved it

[sweet grail]

which N?

[warped gulch]

Base one

I know what you are thinking

[sweet grail]

and that is?

also i remember dumping 22k on N and i didn't get him

that stupid passive was too alluring

but nah he trash

thank god i got him from the select

but

maybe not

because no ss cynthia sucks

[warped gulch]

I also pitied someone that i dont remember

[sweet grail]

i wish they'd bring that back

[warped gulch]

But those are my awful times

[devout pelican]

That ain't nothing. Tried dumping 22k and failing to get ||Holiday Siebold||

[warped gulch]

But now it is really good for me

[sweet grail]

[devout pelican]

Or pity OG Sabrina off SS Blue banner since I got him early at 3/5

[warped gulch]

Bc i haven’t pitied anything since NC Calem

[pure stream]

It feels like they did players who can’t or don’t invest much dirty

[devout pelican]

It's unfortunately a mode for veterans. Can't expect someone to do optimal results without a decent roster

But I'd argue you at least can get the gems (one-time only) just fine.

[copper otter]

There's nothing dirty about it when there's no unique rewards for scoring high

[sweet grail]

later this month though

there will be

and there are already players who hide their strategies

[cloud timber]

i would if i was a top scorer tbf xd

[sweet grail]

if i can

i would probably hide my gauntlet teams from that someone too

[warped gulch]

If you can

[sweet grail]

granted people like Naomi are generous enough but

[warped gulch]

[sweet grail]

of course

[copper otter]

We're acting like it's going to be impossible to hit 1 mil damage from 3 battles

[sweet grail]

this game is just like that

[warped gulch]

1m for 3 battles is reasonable

But like HS, top player will hide their team

[copper otter]

More than reasonable

[cloud timber]

yea that's just competition

[copper otter]

I'm still questioning how someone got 2 mil this rotation

[devout pelican]

5/5 EXR Oleana is a must for sure

[copper otter]

What does 5/5 even provide?

Twofer is bugged. So it's actually worse

[sweet grail]

and gauntlet?

[devout pelican]

Higher damage than 3/5 from BP increase at base

[warped gulch]

Sadly they cant hide their team in gauntlet

[devout pelican]

That seems like a meager increase until the total damage is 1m

[warped gulch]

[pure stream]

You get more tickets which then makes it closer for you to get the free sync pairs faster. Some players already going for a 2nd free sync pair while some of us haven’t even reached 175/300 for our first pair

[cloud timber]

you gain more for investing

it makes sense

[sweet grail]

i don't see why they shouldn't add that feature to hide in

[warped gulch]

[sweet grail]

probably because dena was being nice back then lmfao

[devout pelican]

Either you invest accordingly or you play smart. That's the usual with gacha

[sweet grail]

either hide all or hide none

[copper otter]

Ok? Does it lock you out of getting these units? Because from what i'm seeing, you're just getting them slightly later.

[devout pelican]

Is it annoying you cannot use your favorites? Sure is.

[warped gulch]

Also gauntlet just sad bc we never know next rotation

[pure stream]

And it feels like they punish you for not doing that nor being able to

[warped gulch]

When we always know next HS type is

[cloud timber]

i feel like that's just the natural consequence of making a game

[copper otter]

imma be real, the DC units are mediocre at best anyways

[devout pelican]

Doesn't matter to me because "Whoa, free units!"

more sprints are welcome for Rally alone

[sweet grail]

which is dumb

[devout pelican]

They don't want you to lab for next LG

[warped gulch]

LG is more time consuming than HS

[sweet grail]

nah

they wanna

[cloud timber]

the extra notice last lg was very nice for labbing terrakion stuff

[sweet grail]

throw hs out

and then make banners according to that

[devout pelican]

Like, even if I told you the type for next HSE, we are not certain what each stages would look it

[sweet grail]

but you would know what types to pull

and to expect

[copper otter]

Btw. Next hse will be Normal/Fighting.

[warped gulch]

Normal type’ll get destroy

[devout pelican]

Normal

[warped gulch]

[civic island]

They try, but we have eyes everywhere

[copper otter]

You can only use special attack moves for one battle

[devout pelican]

Do we even have 15 Normal pairs, excluding limited?

[copper otter]

Yes

Eggmons

[warped gulch]

All normal pairs weak to fighting too

[pure stream]

It questions if I can get all of those units. Cause if my investments are dog poo, then how am I supposed to gain all of them? And Idec if they’re bad anyways, I just want them just because they have mons that I like

[devout pelican]

If we have to resort to OG Cheren and Norman, we are so screwed.

[warped gulch]

[copper otter]

You can because this mode is permanent and the reward tiers reset.

There is no fomo with this event.

[pure stream]

Let’s be real, I don’t think they’ll be another sync pair with a male Unfezant added other than Hugh

[neat raft]

Done with this. This is probably my best damage under the best rng scenario

[sweet grail]

normal pairs are literally palmer or bust

[last stream]

Leaf became really good after expansion.

[copper otter]

Leaf can buff crit now

[civic island]

Normal pairs:
Half of them change side

[warped gulch]

Huge’s Head Charge dps

Just pray

[copper otter]

Head charge does 20k damage. Roll for inititive.

rolls snake eyes

You take 5000 recoil damage

[pure stream]

Does it reset after the 34th battle challenge?

[copper otter]

Yes

this mode is literally permanent

[last stream]

we won't know until oct datamine, but yeah. doubt they'll make 34 new stages

[neat raft]

they should reset the gem reward after 34 rounds

[copper otter]

They won't.

[neat raft]

yeah

sadly they wont

[last stream]

There's no gem mission right?

[copper otter]

From what it looks like, this has the same process as CS

Only first time clears

[last stream]

[rain copper]

[civic island]

Good thing we can just pull our previous best teams direcrly from the game logs
I hate cs having to restart everything

[copper otter]

First time clear is at least 100, and not 30

Ranked will be more interesting because you need someone else to sync rush aside from barry or colress

[last stream]

just need 5/5 oleana or 3/5 poppy

[warped gulch]

5/5 Oleana doesnt work sadly

Bug ruins her

And i’m suprise that someone remember Poppy exist

[neat raft]

NC Rosa might work there is already a status inflicted on opponent side as long as u are not syncing with her

sleep spam

[warped gulch]

[last stream]

Don't grab the gradual heal tile

[neat raft]

she has charging infliction at lv 3 grid iirc

[last stream]

as long as you don't have regen you can spam VD

[warped gulch]

No no, even without GH it still bug

[last stream]

I didn't see this.

[cloud timber]

i mean i would think poppy would be the best damage dealer in the whole game

kinda hard to forget

[last stream]

was there a video?

[warped gulch]

@true locust already deleted it so i cant find it

[brisk shale]

#916852044692856834 message idk if it's here

[cloud timber]

it's there

[pure stream]

But will the sync pairs stay the same is the question? That’s another concern

[cloud timber]

yea

[pure stream]

I’m not trying to be 10 tickets short at the deadline and then new pairs come in

[cloud timber]

dena is usually pretty clear with time limits and there are none set for damage challenge rewards

[copper otter]

the units are permanent. they will not go away.

[cloud timber]

^

[copper otter]

the ONLY thing that will reset are the MONTHLY sync orbs.

[last stream]

Thanks.

[copper otter]

again, this mode HAS no FOMO.

[last stream]

So it's not just gradual healing, but a bunch of status changes and fields.

[cloud timber]

and free move next most notably

[last stream]

and twofer

[cloud timber]

yep

[last stream]

but it will still work if they're not poisoned

[warped gulch]

Yup, but Oleana need to poison enemy to nuke

So you can only spam it before you use her Max Move

[rain copper]

her most notably multipliers are 2 Power Play, but she also has Virulent Toxin 5

[warped gulch]

Virulent Toxin 5 and 2

[last stream]

well for the next ranked event, maybe you can use her, since there won't be a poison weak opp

well actually it could be the 3v3 one...

[warped gulch]

But idk why we’ll want to use her unless we need 3 sync spam team

Bc at least Colress/BP Barry can para enemy to lower their speed gauge

[copper otter]

So, i was doing some testing....

I was using SC Steven's....... leer.

[devout pelican]

Grim

[last stream]

B....Leer
Beer

[civic island]

Bleer

[copper otter]

Partially I was going to use this as a way to flinch due to Steven's node.... but then i realized, his leer is actually surprisingly fast for a B move

after the initial no evasion and restrained animation, all it is is B move animation, move, then debuff..... which takes about.... 7-9 seconds?

[devout pelican]

Really? I think it takes some times too

Unless you can get more Play Rough to miss, it's hard to get more debuff in

Otherwise you forgo using his TM on the dps of your choice

[copper otter]

well that's the thing. Steven can flinch if the opponent has no evasion active

it's a 3/5 thing tho

but I'm trying to see where it's viable on.

[turbid vault]

Someone give my optimal team if I have 3/5 geeta caked, 1 roxtricity, 1 oleana, 1 steveland, 5 snorlax

[cloud timber]

geeta sc steven redlax can hit 1m

[turbid vault]

So technically i should prioritize the sync orbs first each month

[cloud timber]

n-no

[copper otter]

500 sync orbs for 100 tickets.

very good deal

definitely not worse than Battle Rally

[turbid vault]

It is that low?

Ew

[copper otter]

yes

[turbid vault]

Yeah not enough to matter nvm then

[copper otter]

i think it was like 1000 or something i can't remember, but it didn't warrant the ticket cost

[cloud timber]

it's 200 tickets for 10k

[copper otter]

200!?????

PFFFT skip

[cloud timber]

yea only reason to go for it is if you have 5/5 everything else

[copper otter]

literally, you get a better trade off of battle rally than that.

500 points for 10K sync orbs

[turbid vault]

The only thing is if I never get the sync orbs once all units are 3/5 then we will earn extra tickets beyond the sync orbs trade, making all the missed orbs "lost"

But yeah getting the units faster is more enjoyable

[cloud timber]

still have to shell out 2k tickets in a month to buy out the orbs

[turbid vault]

Well 3 different people just all gave conflicting exchange ratios haha

[turbid vault]

But yeah it sounds like not enough to be worth the slower unit acquisition

Okay so your point is we will never earn 2k tickets per month so even when we can only go for orbs we can't get them all. Okay that's good

[cloud timber]

ye

[copper otter]

if it were 50,000 Sync orbs, then it would be more enticing.

[turbid vault]

Anyway I have to figure out what 3/5 caked geeta team will get me the closest to 1mil as possible

[sacred badger]

i wouldn't grab those.

its too expensive tbh.

[cloud timber]

yep awful rate

[sacred badger]

you'd rather actually aim for sync pairs

[strange notch]

This feels low to me considering the team i’m using

[sacred badger]

it would be great if you could 200 for 100,000 sync orbrs

[strange notch]

No Oleana cake tho

[sacred badger]

but no way that's too much

[strange notch]

Are the people at the top using the team i used or something else?

Oleana Barry Geeta FEELS correct but i might be missing something

[cloud timber]

i don't think we actually know the top team

[strange notch]

Unless there’s a unit that beats Oleana sync idk how to improve that

And i doubt any unit beats Oleana

[brisk shale]

also did we get to know the bug 5m 4m team?

[strange notch]

HUH?

5 MIL BUG?

[cloud timber]

4m?

[brisk shale]

prob

i might be missrembering

[strange notch]

How did BUG beat PSYCHIC

[brisk shale]

i just remember it being ~500k above the rest of the leaderboard

[cloud timber]

yeah last highest at that point was 3.6m

and it was over 4m

[strange notch]

ok that’s not nearly as dumb as i thought

[civic island]

Bug top was almost 4.4

[cloud timber]

can only make assumptions really

[turbid vault]

I see people claiming 3/5 geeta can carry 1mil or close but nobody telling me the partners. Better for a 2nd dps with like a 1/5 roxie or just double up snorlax/colress?

[cloud timber]

wait

replace redlax with bp barry

someone put up a video if you scroll up a bunch here lol

[dry whale]

Odds are perfect miss/para RNG allowed for one more sync. When I did my 3.6million I managed to attack twice after my final sync. More misses ment there was time for 1 last sync but it was gonna be tight and unbuffed.

[turbid vault]

What does bp Barry have over colress? Just the support sync?

[last stream]

having support ex is much better

[civic island]

Bp barry ssHilbo n hViola was probably the go
I mean I got 3.5M with 3/5 ssHilbo and that team
Account +10% dmg for a 5/5, add one extra rebuff (abt 20% dmg)
Should be at least 4.5M
Plus a 3/5 hViola got head start and boost ally moves by 20%

[devout pelican]

Keep in mind that Geeta - BP Barry - SC Steven is extra tight for that 1 million. Not recommended

[turbid vault]

I mean my current high is like 450k lol so even short a sync it should be 700+

[cloud timber]

also bp barry's stun spore is supposed to be 2 frames faster than colress infliction freebie twave

[brisk shale]

it doesn't buff syncs tho

[civic island]

Ye, inly moves

Still you have to attack them for rebuff and last hit, which is something

Unless it's 100% dodge with sc Ingo

But both should work for 4.5m+

[forest forge]

Ya I made a video of my Geeta 970k but it’s RNG to get that high

[civic island]

It's always rng, damage ranges, crit chance are evil here

[forest forge]

Mostly damage ranges but

If you reset for the first move to miss you can always make the timer with that extra like 2 seconds

Need at least 1 play rough to miss to get that high from what I have done

With Geeta

[faint quiver]

Geeta over 1 mil needs Marnie to miss one of her Play Rough.
Opinion as someone who did it.

[plush palm]

i dont think emma is ever hitting 1m

[faint quiver]

Praying for that 10% miss chance is much better than heavily investing into a unit that you are not interested to begin with provided you already have the components to do so.

Emma is probable for 3v3 I guess but no dice for 3v1.

[plush palm]

my geeta is unfortunately stuck at 2/5

im like 2 field coins away from a candy

[copper otter]

So looking at the ranked event, it looks like i'm going
Poison: Geeta/Oleana/Colress
Dragon: Zerena/ NC Nate/ SC Steven
Fighting: Rei/NC Bianca/BP Barry

[languid heart]

Trying to figure out how good I’m doing in these damage challenges, but all I keep getting is youngster rank (usually 2-3⭐️). I presume that isn’t a good rank?

[copper otter]

Youngster rank is the weakest one

[languid heart]

Figures. Given there’s no transparency on the ranks, I’d have no idea.

Sucks too, since poison should be my best one, besides Ice.

[copper otter]

the meta is sync rushing

do not use DPS

[languid heart]

Yeah, makes sense. Only problem is usually a lack of faster sync pairs, as in those who can accelerate the gauge to nuke fast.

[copper otter]

you don't need those.

all you need is either BP Barry or Colress.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1255888121648644197/1257861161400012890/wb9YPkw.gif

[languid heart]

Oh, free move shenanigans!

Wait, so you’re not even attacking the opponent with your other pairs?

[copper otter]

correct.

Like i said, you're sync Rushing

rush for sync as your damage

[languid heart]

…that is some crazy shenanigans. Guess it is worth a shot though!

But who to sync spam with though… I guess it’d have to be Oleana.

[copper otter]

correct

Oleana can actually do the same thing

but her method is a little bit more tricky because she cannot recover the move gauage as quickly

[languid heart]

Open with a mortal spin, venom drench & screech to drop stats, and then para spam to nuke with the sync move.

[copper otter]

do not mortal spin

mortal spin is actually really bad

[languid heart]

But you can’t venom drench otherwise, and Oleana’s sync is weaker as a result… something I’m missing?

I suppose you could drop a max move with Oleana instead to get the poison…

Doesn’t consume the time gauge to do so.

[copper otter]

What I do
Oleana: TM
Colress: Screech

Let opponent attack

Oleana: MAX move (Causes Poison + Rebuff)
Colress Screech
Geeta: TM on Oleana
(Try to quadqueue Venom Drench)

Oleana Venom Drench
Colress: Screech

Oleana Venom Drench

Geeta Sync move

Colress: Twave spam until sync, Then Oleana sync.

Geeta if EXed will trigger Poison zone without B move's long animation

[languid heart]

Geeta Sync… that’s for the poison field, yes?

[copper otter]

correct

[sacred badger]

depressing. hopefully i hit 1.5m on Friday 😭

[copper otter]

and it is extended, so it will last for about two sync

if you're rushing

[languid heart]

…ah… don’t think that’s possible for me, but good to know.

[copper otter]

Geeta not EXed?

[languid heart]

Nah, I have her EX, just 1/5

[copper otter]

that's fine.

[languid heart]

So no extended poison field

[copper otter]

EX IS the extended field

[languid heart]

I thought you meant the passive.

[copper otter]

all field syncs are extended WTZ

no.

[languid heart]

Ooooh, that’s interesting. Was not aware of that.

I’ve always been sketch of making fields EX cause I thought you also needed the 3/5 field extensions to make it worth. Good to know!

[copper otter]

nah, all field units come with the extended field effect upon EX sync. and to make it better

the field effect is applied before the sync move hits

so you're getting the buff from WTZ

[languid heart]

Right. Good for getting those buffs for the sync move itself.

[copper otter]

so, the only thing you should make sure is that you have a 3/5 colress or BP Barry, (colress is better because def drops) then make sure oleana can nuke and voila.

[languid heart]

Makes sense. Lucky to have my tickets have given me 5/5 Colress for this kind of thing.

[copper otter]

and if you want evidence: I was using Oleana's Venom drench since SC Steven is just a better colress for me

[civic island]

Did you tried a para patter or just poison? Also do you have Red?

[languid heart]

Well, I’m realizing the much more obvious issue than my strategy… Oleana just doesn’t have the stuff to do it. No EX & only 1/5 is just 💀 in damage

So I guess I’m not getting out of youngster ranks for now. Will just have to keep getting EX when possible and try my best to move Candy when I can.

[slate magnet]

Is Koga the best to sync nuke with compared to most poison pairs?

[cloud timber]

i think uhhhhhhh oleana > ss roxie > geeta > lodge marnie > koga > most other stuff though emma gets a lot of mileage out of her b move

[true locust]

Yeap i deleted oleana vid pykuo

Spam twoter whe oponent poison is take too mutch time but you can do it

[devout pelican]

https://youtu.be/QFedKvY7Zpk
When you scored higher with Critical Strike 2

[slate magnet]

Geeta is that good? I guess I’ll try lodge marnie lol

I have both Geeta and SS Roxie, but both at 1/5 lol

Thanks for the tip!

[sullen zephyr]

What's the estimated highest score i can reach with this roster?

[brisk shale]

also depends on supports

i don't have sc.steven, redlax or ex barry

so i only got 320k with non ex koga

[sullen zephyr]

I have bp barry and 1/5 redlax

But isn't zone better than seun?

[golden tiger]

I can't go beyond 784k with barry ss roxie and redlax

Everything else onwards is paralysis dependent :/

[rain copper]

Redlax has Support EX and multiple uses of SEUN for each sync

his Sprint EXR is also helpful

btw both zone and SEUN boost 50% dmg

[golden tiger]

They do stack, right?

[rain copper]

yes

but 1/5 Geeta doesn't have TM MPR

[golden tiger]

[sullen zephyr]

Also barry has support ex sync too. I think 2 support syncs has diminishing returns

I'm thinking zone can last multiple syncs, while seun is dependent on mpr

[cloud timber]

with a lot of things the only way to get a sufficient answer is to try it yourself

[robust meteor]

if all my limited poison units are 1/5, EX'd but no cake (SS Roxie, Geeta, Emma, Oleana..), is my best nuke just EX'd Koga?

[sullen zephyr]

I do have the ability to candy geeta. I have 2 field candies and no other base field pairs.

But is this true: 2 more support syncs and 1 fewer damaging sync is worse than 1 support sync and 1 more damaging sync

The simplified maths is (assuming 5 syncs in total)
2 support syncs: 3+3.5+4 = 10.5
1 support syncs: 2+2.5+3+3.5 = 11
If you can reach 6 syncs then they are equal, and 2 supp syncs take the lead from 7 syncs onwards

[feral hamlet]

What's the best poison option I got?

[frail owl]

Koga for 500k clear. If you have scsteven 2/5 geeta can reach ~700k

[normal parcel]

Bug single target definitely

[feral hamlet]

I still need to figure out the best play style for these, but I think it can work

[dire spade]

ST poison really is a huge trouble to 1M if you don't have 3/5 Oleana or 3/5 SS Roxie

[split coral]

Yo yo gang
as you can tell by the screenshot im showing
I'm not a good player at this game😭😭
So can please tell me which character is a good poison type user to me?..
So i can upgrade and atleast get better in this game?
(Every roster btw-)

[acoustic chasm]

Koga is your best shot right now

[normal parcel]

With geeta is possible but too RNG involved

[rain copper]

but you want to candy him to 3/5 at least

[split coral]

tyyysm👍

[acoustic chasm]

There's a candy in the high score event that doesn't require many points to reach
Not sure if there's another one currently 🤔

[normal parcel]

Can't imagine bug weak st, koga is way better than any f2p bug tech (by a lot)

[faint quiver]

Viola is only free Bug tech

[rain copper]

there is another 4* tech candy in the summer event

[green oar]

You just use poison fang to poison them then just spam venoshock

that's the koga game plan

[hollow whale]

Can Holiday Viola nuke?

[cunning rock]

Wait, just how good is SC Ingo's nuke anyway?

[rain copper]

it's pretty good, actually

[faint quiver]

Very good.

[rain copper]

yes but compared to other Bug tech she can't compete with them

[feral hamlet]

What's the strat with Geeta on the team? Her attacks are so slow

[green oar]

In damage challenge moves that hit all opponents get lower damage right?

[rain copper]

aoe moves (not Strike EX/R) always have aoe penalty unless they specified that the BP is not decreased when there are multiple targets

[pure stream]

What does no FOMO mean?

[cunning rock]

Fear Of Missing Out

[rain copper]

Fear of missing out

[green oar]

You will never need to fear missing out on these new units

[pure stream]

So I can max them all out next year if I wanted to?

[feral hamlet]

Still trying to figure out how I can double my score with Koga. He's not even doing half the damage Geeta is

[rain copper]

they never go away, so yes ig?

[cunning rock]

That and because Damage Challenge rotates through all types except Normal, so you'd eventually get a type that your roster is perfect for,

[warped gulch]

No, you dont touch his Venoshock until last second

[true locust]

I make a vid 1.4m score. If some one need get over 1m. Can be score even 1,5+ need just better timming

https://youtu.be/Q1Zc7S4-Xik?si=9K9ulj04l-Al3vAN

[feral hamlet]

This one seems like the hardest one so far. I can't make any progress at all

[split coral]

---

yeah my score aint good at all-
100% need to focus on farming-
(Where do i ask about farming my characters?)

[normal parcel]

Problem with DC is that sometimes I have the proper units too but most of time are 1/5

[rain copper]

the team has some questionable things

1. Koga can't reach +6 spatk and +3 crit
2. SS N is doing nothing
3. Koga stucks at 1/5, please check Ryuzaki's advice above

[split coral]

the optimize button did this not me

[green oar]

N is immediately useless

he's not helping out all

[rain copper]

do not use that feature

[split coral]

HMMMMM
I will check dw

[rain copper]

you should get the hang of teambuilding basics first

[split coral]

Hmm,alr!
you guys are live savers
(I'm happily embarrassing myself by showing my awful team comps and skills but wanna improve myself so this helped me alot)

[rain copper]

don't worry about that, we are happy to help

please check this guide out then:

+101

[wispy pagoda]

> Teambuilding 101
Make sure you've done the Victory Road tutorial for an introduction to the game's teambuilding & gameplay.

1. Build your team around a damage dealer that hits the stage's weakness (or off-type if they're strong enough). This can be a / striker or a tech. Read the unit's kit carefully - moves & passives - to see what they can buff themselves. Ideally you want to be at +3 critical-hit rate and +6 attack or special attack depending on the unit. Damage dealers should be slot 3 in tactics

2. Choose a support to put in slot 1 tactics so it takes the damage. Your support should cover the buffs and damage dealer needs they cannot max by themselves reliably - critical hit rate and SpAtk/Atk being the main ones. If your damage dealer is self-sufficient, you can look at defensive, healing or other utility supports instead.

3. The 3rd slot is flexible and depends on your other two pairs. You could take a tech focusing on utility such as debuffs or field effects to enhance your damage dealer, or another support that covers a team need like defenses, healing or boost gauge speed for demanding damaging moves. If your team allows it, you can even pick a 2nd damage dealer! It's important to experiment & remember that a successful team needs to manage gauge properly for triple queueing and buffing your damage dealier efficiently so they can start attacking as soon as possible!

See the image below for a visual guide. And check out #1010307000346878062 or the bot commands pinned in #bot-zone for more information on Triple Queue & other game information!

[rain copper]

i suggest focusing on early content first to strengthen your roster, Damage Challenge is a permanent mode so it should put in low priority

[split coral]

ur a life saver gakon omggg😭😭

[frail owl]

Koga clear is just sync rushing. Geeta clear rely on stacking PMUN and hit her bmove

[rain copper]

it's a pleasure to help you

[cloud timber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiaeqqwL0j4

[split coral]

But but question
What early content i should focus on to improve? (If I'm ok to ask here)
I already finished victory road and dont know what to focus on

[rain copper]

for general questions like this, let's head back to #poma-questions to avoid flooding this chat

[feral hamlet]

Is Barry better than SC Steven in this case? I don't see how having zone and rebuff isn't helping as much

[cloud timber]

idk

[cunning rock]

Koga is special and his nuke is dependent on Evasion stacks so BP Janine covers that part. Barry is there for Stun Spore spam/Support on top of BP Janine's Support sync

[feral hamlet]

Oh man this plan looks so dumb

But if it's getting a higher score, it's worth trying

[pure stream]

Same, if my Geeta were maxed out, I wouldn’t have any issues with this

[normal parcel]

With geeta getting 1m is awful, you will definitely need 3/5 oleana if you want a more reliable 1m run

I have 3/5 exr Geeta and I was 1600 points Short from 1m

[pure stream]

And I don’t even have Oleana

[normal parcel]

I have oleana but only 1/5 so pretty useless for DC

[cloud timber]

yea w/o oleana/ss roxie you are definitely still struggling if you want 1m

even with maxed geeta

[feral hamlet]

Okay, I'm liking this. Could I boost this further with a more premium unit?

[normal parcel]

I have SS Roxie but 1/5 too

[feral hamlet]

That's the insane part about this. Not only do you need recent, top-tier units, they need to be maxed out to be anywhere close to a million

[normal parcel]

The problem is that the mode focuses on nukes, and 99% of the units have their nukes locked at 3/5+

[cloud timber]

though ofc nobody needs 1 million and i'm working with an f2p roster myself

[slender venture]

Then again a million is not needed

It is after all a permanent mode with permanent rewards

[normal parcel]

Yes a million isn't needed, but I hate having 2★ Leon with 998k

I'm not doing it for that single voucher, I just want to score 1m for completionism

However there's no way I will remotely reach 1m in bug single if I don't invest candies on ss Hilbert

[feral hamlet]

No, but it's very disappointing that no matter how many units you have and how good you try on your own, you'll very likely be far, far away from 1m because you didn't have the one unit maxed out

[dire spade]

Well, by checking every single type for ST and MT in my roster, I think ST Poison is the weakest of all for 1M. I'm trusting in certain gen pool pairs for other STs, like Colress on ST Steel or Drasna on ST Dragon, I hope

[cloud timber]

single target fairy is suspected to be potentially weaker but nothing else would be

[slender venture]

Yea single target fairy without Limited is kinda the same as poison now

Maybe slightly more than Koga

[dire spade]

I have 2/5 Bede. If I need to 3/5, I will

[normal parcel]

For f2p specifically nothing is worse than st bug

[slender venture]

True

I know I have nothing for it

[dire spade]

Glad I got SS Hilbert for both ST and MT

[normal parcel]

Lodge Lillie is a good enough f2p fairy nuker

[slender venture]

But that won't make me disappointed, it's just 50 tickets less

[normal parcel]

For bug weak who is the best bug tech? Gladion?

I guess guzma still nukes harder than gladion even single target

[slender venture]

Should be so

[normal parcel]

Of only gladion had an innate and a barely decent sync multiplier

[rain copper]

Gladion is bad

[crude sandal]

@civic island How much time would you lose if you don't have 2x Adrenaline on Redlax?

[normal parcel]

Viola is worse I guess

[dire spade]

Unless we get a soonish grid expansion on Gladion, I think bug ST for f2p will be a disaster

[normal parcel]

I mean the f2p way will probably still be Guzma with his nuke damage cut to 1/3

[slender venture]

You can often fire off an extra sync against ST

So maybe it will be 400-500k

[normal parcel]

If viola gets good sync multipliers she can work too

[slender venture]

But that is the highest I can see

[crude sandal]

OG Viola?

[normal parcel]

Ofc, there are no other f2p bug tech

[slender venture]

Time for a bug tech in lodge

[crude sandal]

Who's better for ST bug? Hilbert or H. Viola?

[normal parcel]

Hilbert should be better cuz it has an innate

[slender venture]

Hilbert by a mile

HViola doesn't have an impressive sync

Weaker than the average tech

[dire spade]

SS Hilbert, and H. Viola as a bug zone setter on EX sync

[slender venture]

SC Ingo has a much better nuke than HViola

[normal parcel]

The good thing about viola is that field ex should last the whole match if used post support ex sync and field ex doesn't waste time with the super slow field animation

[crude sandal]

Question is how will Viola set herself up

2 uses of her TM will be kinda annoying

[normal parcel]

For bug weak Hilbert is the key

[dire spade]

You should use Viola's TMs on Hilbert

[feral hamlet]

I give up for now. 335k is the most I can do...

Koga too weak. Geeta 2/5 not useful for anything other than a time sink

[normal parcel]

I always refused to candy my Hilbert because it has lots of stuffs at 4 and 5/5, plus his nuke is kinda slow to setup and on top of that still has an 80% crit sync (that makes me not happy to invest candies)

[cloud timber]

so i was curious about what gladion could manage and

[crude sandal]

Using Redlax and Colress and comparing Hilbert's sync to Viola, Viola does about almost 70% of Hilbert's sync assuming you can fully set up Power Play

[cloud timber]

and f2ps will have it way worse without redlax/larry

or skill gear

[dire spade]

Btw, I saw that I have 2/5 Ariana and 2/5 F-Iris, but I think at 3/5, they can't do 1M, right?

[slender venture]

Ariana can

[dire spade]

1 candy on Ariana or 2 candies on Oleana?

[crude sandal]

So what's the plan for ST rock-weak?

[slender venture]

Is that a serious consideration

[normal parcel]

Ariana, SS Roxie and oleana are the only units that at 3/5 can get 1 m without having to sacrifice a gogoat to the RNG Arceuses

[slender venture]

Gordie

For f2p

[dire spade]

Yes it is

[crude sandal]

And for ranked?

[slender venture]

Ranked?

There is no rock in ranked

[crude sandal]

I mean like for the regular ranked

With no rules

[slender venture]

SS Diantha is the best nuker

[normal parcel]

Gordie has a solid tech nuke and a max move on top of that

[crude sandal]

[rain copper]

EX Olivia is the best option for MT Rock

*accessible

[dire spade]

Is the ranked at 22nd ST rock?

[slender venture]

Oleana is useful outside of this mode, Ariana is pretty meh all things considered

[normal parcel]

For f2p yes she should be the best option

[rain copper]

ranked set has ST Poison, MT Dragon and ST Fighting

[crude sandal]

I wonder, is TM sync CD reduction spam or Infliction Freebie/status failue spam faster?

[normal parcel]

You have to score 1m total to get all the rewards?

[rain copper]

yeah

[slender venture]

TM mp will run out sooner or later

[cloud timber]

the latter even if you have infinite tms

[dire spade]

So Oleana it is. Thanks

[cloud timber]

ss elesa's tm could be faster

since it's +2

[crude sandal]

How big of a difference is circle boost compared to sync buffs?

[normal parcel]

I can score 900k on poison weak without much hassle, so getting the rewards shouldn't be too bad

[crude sandal]

Because I'm kinda oscillating between Chase and Colress for some comps I have initially thought
