Damage Challenge

[warped gulch]

And i’ll not candy her until Steel HS

[vernal condor]

4/5 gets Atk drops, which is mandatory to setup Marnie's nuke

[tall musk]

2 candies just for Haymaker

[warped gulch]

Her B Move is still funny tho

450 Power

[eternal pecan]

I’ll probably end it here lol

[tall musk]

Oh no doubt

I love using Gigaton Hammer

[neat raft]

i wonder if CMarnie Bmove will be good for MT Dark

[eternal pecan]

why wouldnt it

[tall musk]

But there's still no point to raise her above 1/5

[neat raft]

somehow this DC hates Bmove

[primal blade]

Poppy can literally spam twave-hammer and as if it's one move xD

[neat raft]

☠️

[hidden fog]

But Kippers

Every DC hates B-Moves

[neat raft]

yeah thats the problem

DC = anti B move

[hidden fog]

Unfortunately

[warped gulch]

But Poppy B Move is insanely strong

[hidden fog]

Well

[warped gulch]

[primal blade]

twave->hammer spam

[hidden fog]

Yeah

[primal blade]

1 move-2 sync cd

[hidden fog]

But then the Q becomes is Poppy BiS for that stage?

We shall see

[tall musk]

I wouldn't say so

[hidden fog]

[tall musk]

Her B Move is like a good 6-8 second animation

[hidden fog]

Yikes

[crude sandal]

And then Gloria tech EXR

[neat raft]

☠️

[primal blade]

holy

[hidden fog]

Gloria PB please

I mean, that's pretty standard fare for B-Moves

[tall musk]

I was telling yall smh

[warped gulch]

Non 4/5 Gloria haver

[crude sandal]

She already got it

[neat raft]

tbh DC really destroys all the meta that Dena thought they had setup

[hidden fog]

Isn't it just grid expansion to 4/5 and 5/5

[neat raft]

[primal blade]

my gloria is 5/5

[tall musk]

Gigaton Hammer got that power therefore having a long ass animation

[warped gulch]

Yep

Her 4/5-5/5 is great

[tall musk]

It's just the damage that makes up for the animation

[neat raft]

many Bmoves became condemned due to long af animation

[hidden fog]

I meant PB with 2, 4, and 5/5

I have her 4/5

She's great

She actually has a nuke

[primal blade]

5/5 give her 1 rebuff too

[crude sandal]

She gains steel rebuff at 5/5

[tall musk]

It's so satisfying to see Gigaton Hammer hit like 50k+ with almost zero setup lmfao

[primal blade]

and also def debuff

[hidden fog]

She does

Now give her Critastrophe 9

[warped gulch]

Sadly her grid give 0 multiplier for her B Move

[tall musk]

That's the point

[warped gulch]

If she has 1 then

[hidden fog]

It's kinda wild that the best ST Ground nuker we have is Courtney

Maybe DC is just a scheme by DeNA to identify archetypal gaps

[warped gulch]

F Roxanne still better than Courtney, the problem is that this is DC

[tall musk]

In terms of game design there's like no way they'd give a 450 BP move a multiplier, especially a Pokefair

[hidden fog]

Yeah but trap animation takes so friggin' long

[neat raft]

well u gotta remember how easy was ground weak UB

[snow raptor]

If only

[rare apex]

my 1/5 non-ex gloria will surely pull in some big numbers

[prisma quail]

I love my 3/5 caked Runerigus.

But this game mode makes me so sad

[hidden fog]

Your 1/5 non EX Gloria will be pulling in one thing, and that's the Restart button

[rare apex]

[tall musk]

I mean is there anyone here that genuinely likes this game mode 😭

[hidden fog]

No

[rare apex]

i like it

[primal blade]

no

[crude sandal]

With only 2 sync buffs. Now imagine this with tech EXR

[warped gulch]

My 5/5 EX 70/70 Jasmine will carry me

[tall musk]

Like I don't think I've seen more than 5 people who like this game mode in the entire server

[neat raft]

funny how we got a new ground unit recently (SC Adaman) but is literally unusable in this due to his setup

[warped gulch]

[neat raft]

[primal blade]

sir, would you like some fresh green grass?

[crude sandal]

I'm neutral since I'm used to it

[hidden fog]

I'm neutral-slightly negative to DC

The way I see it: it's free gems

[neat raft]

i dont like DC lol

[hidden fog]

[prisma quail]

No.

But I like the concept.
I just wish it was an "endless" mode, where the enemies just gained like 2 EX buffs each time they synced. So eventually they'd destroy you, but it wasn't tied to a real life timer.

That would allow us to use good synergized teams more than just sync nuke cheating.

[warped gulch]

Look at HSE, everyone hate it

[crude sandal]

Dragon-weak 3v3 next week will go hard

[tall musk]

I only like HSE when I can perform well in it

[rare apex]

[crude sandal]

I'm excited about that

[tall musk]

Such as Fairy/Water

[neat raft]

luckily this shop is a permenant addition, so little fomo bull

[rare apex]

ye

[faint quiver]

Screw HSE, what a pain in the ass.

[primal blade]

also would allow us to see some beeg ass numbers with all the sync buffs and modifers we could have

[neat raft]

hse bleah

[hidden fog]

Not only is the shop permanent, the pairs aren't exactly golden goose material

[prisma quail]

I liked Rock Type AOE.

Because we have to major tech/strike, and got to use our buddy move

[tall musk]

Yeah as I said earlier I wish it was like an endless battle

[hidden fog]

so the FOMO is almost non-existent (for me)

[warped gulch]

But their title just so good, when compared to LG

[prisma quail]

Debuffing units are so useless here, is sad.

[neat raft]

the pairs are just good fodders for sprint/field stage bull

[hidden fog]

okay but who's looking at titles

[warped gulch]

Idk

[hidden fog]

Exactly

[tall musk]

Initially I thought this was gonna be akin to Pure Fiction in HSR (sorry for mentioning HSR in r/PoMa, you may all sacrifice me later)

[hidden fog]

Wtf

Get the pyre started

[crude sandal]

~~You mean like Colress? ~~

[hidden fog]

We're gonna need a new mod

[warped gulch]

I want feature that we can customize own song playlists

[hidden fog]

What about DC did you think was gonna be like PF tho?

[prisma quail]

https://tenor.com/view/kate-mc-kinnon-kate-snl-saturday-night-live-snl46-gif-18765640

[primal blade]

DC would have been good with the current iteration, only if all moves had a nomalized animation and buffs/debuffs and whatever else that takes time, wouldn't take time

[tall musk]

When I heard they wanted to do a mode where they see how much damage we do, I thought like an endless wave would be the best way to do it

[hidden fog]

Ah

[tall musk]

The more waves you clear, the more points you get

Which is exactly like PF

[prisma quail]

This would actually be fun

[hidden fog]

I see your vision

DeNA didn't tho

[warped gulch]

Nope, this is dmg rush in 3 minutes

[tall musk]

This is why we should all move to Star Rail frfr/s

[neat raft]

should call it Damage Rush Challenge

[warped gulch]

DRC

[merry nymph]

[warped gulch]

[tall musk]

Ah shit it's Arch time to run

[warped gulch]

[tall musk]

You didn't catch me advertising HSR 🏃‍♂️

[prisma quail]

When this game dies, I'll be free of gachas.

It's a terrible game mechanic

[lyric plover]

same

[crude sandal]

Anyone dead inside?

[tall musk]

Aren't we all

[hidden fog]

Nope, this is dmg rush in 3 1 minute and 48 seconds

FTFY bestie

[merry nymph]

I figured I should try one of these runs lol been looking at the Courtney clears

[hidden fog]

[warped gulch]

Before this game dead, can Dena gives Spheal pair pls ?

[primal blade]

so dead inside, even a necromancer wouldn't be able to ressurect me

[warped gulch]

[merry nymph]

Disappointing that Roxanne isn't performing well

[hidden fog]

This is most unwelcome news

[prisma quail]

The millennial experience

[hidden fog]

Time to write a strongly worded letter to Sasaki-sama

[tall musk]

See if I was a game designer at DeNA she would be performing well in my vision

[neat raft]

I still have another gacha game even after Pomas EOS'd

☠️

[prisma quail]

Agreed.
Am sad.

[tall musk]

Therefore DeNA should hire me

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-24966265

[hidden fog]

What would be the first thing you'd implement Hexxa

[merry nymph]

The current state of the gamemode is a little strange

[tall musk]

Revamp the entire game but keep the gacha system

[hidden fog]

Oh no

[merry nymph]

It's relegating to a couple of specific pairs each rotation I really don't like that

[warped gulch]

Making endless mode

[hidden fog]

We're going to be turn based

Pokemon Master Rail

[tall musk]

I mean we're technically turn based

Just more on the timing side

[hidden fog]

I think PMEX would be better categorized under Real Time Battle

[tall musk]

Would honestly sell well imho

[primal blade]

this what striked me as odd

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/monsters-inc-sulley-mike-now-put-that-thing-back-where-it-came-from-put-it-back-gif-5316646

[hidden fog]

You're so right

[prisma quail]

If I was in charge of the game, I'd have an "overflow pity pool".

Anytime a banner ends, all scout points on it feed into the overflow pity pool. That pool would take 600 scout points to pull on, and would have the general pool, plus all limited units from year 1.

[tall musk]

True let's give Hoyo the rights to use Pokemon

[crude sandal]

If I was making the game, I'd implement bigger powercreep

[prisma quail]

I hope you never have power

[crude sandal]

I'd rather let Giovanni take over

[hidden fog]

If I was in charge of the game, I'd EOS it so we can all be free from this mortal prison

and play better games

Like Fire Emblem Heroes

[tall musk]

Ok anyways before I keep spreading more HSR propaganda, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, bye!

[unique abyss]

Dont forget about real pvp, not pve ranking

[crude sandal]

[merry nymph]

Do I need to remind y'all we are in a help channel

[prisma quail]

Oh. That would be EOS.

[hidden fog]

So true lmao

[warped gulch]

No one care

[vernal condor]

Seriously why did they give him Acid

[warped gulch]

[hidden fog]

Roll until he doesn't proc Acid

[vernal condor]

He uses it like 5 times

[crude sandal]

Because they unintentionally predicted Colress spam

[prisma quail]

Because they knew we'd love single target DC fights... And they wanted to make it scarier

[warped gulch]

Ah yes, 1 bar move, 10% debuff SpDef for each target, long animation

[neat raft]

well no1 is asking for advice now anw, its not that we are trolling someone rn

[crude sandal]

I wish they'd keep this up

[hidden fog]

DC?

[crude sandal]

Enemies doing cheap gauge moves to ruin Colress strat

[hidden fog]

Oh

[prisma quail]

This mode is called Damage Challenge

[merry nymph]

Yes and the conversation is fine - let's just stay true to PMEX

[tall musk]

Ok so Nightcaster is the DeNA spy, got it

[vernal condor]

And I wish you have a very bad day for having terrible takes like that

[tall musk]

Let's abolish DC

[hidden fog]

I agree!

Let's bring back Prestige Battle

[crude sandal]

[neat raft]

[crude sandal]

[neat raft]

wtf

[merry nymph]

Prestige was ahead of its time

They just need to execute it right

[hidden fog]

Prestige was honestly my best time in PMEXcord

[vernal condor]

There's no way to do it right lol

[hidden fog]

Everyone was united under a single banner

Against a common enemy

[tall musk]

https://tenor.com/view/block-blocked-anime-gif-13872321

[crude sandal]

Nah, all it needs is a sprinkle of ranking rewards

[hidden fog]

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime thing

[prisma quail]

I'm glad they executed it.
Don't let it back.

[merry nymph]

Oop

[hidden fog]

I loved Prestige

[crude sandal]

Ranking rewards when?

[merry nymph]

How prestigious

[warped gulch]

Let it sleep forever

[crude sandal]

Like #1 will get 100k gems and #2 will get 75k gems and such

[tall musk]

You are evil

[crude sandal]

[warped gulch]

That basically: you whale you win

[tall musk]

I do hope you don't get hired as a game designer anytime soon

[hidden fog]

Do you wanna see bloodshed?

[crude sandal]

Go ahead, I'm ready to fight

[warped gulch]

[hidden fog]

Dear oh dear

DC isn't enough to sate your bloodlust

I see

[crude sandal]

Nah, the bloodlust comes from the mass rioting within the community

[vernal condor]

ihateacidihateacidihateacidihateacidihateacidihateacid

[sweet grail]

i believe in your vision

but

i also want to be game designer at DeNA

[neat raft]

this might actually cause a spawn of cheaters ☠️

[sweet grail]

i won't tell you guys what buffs i would make but

[unique abyss]

Just give stalwart to everyone

[sweet grail]

you will soon to see certain ones

[warped gulch]

[crude sandal]

Well, I've already experienced them

[sweet grail]

hell no

cheaters are gonna go all out

[neat raft]

I still wonder where that SSHilda got the sync grid from back then - from a cheater's account?

[sweet grail]

imagine akr0 gear

[hidden fog]

You know

[sweet grail]

and +10E

and everything else

[hidden fog]

You can just see DC as a "spend 3 mins and get 100 gems" kind of ordeal

[warped gulch]

Imagine use paid gems to buy stamina

[sweet grail]

If prestige comes back

yeah

[warped gulch]

[sweet grail]

that might happen

our lord and savior DeNA$hIt when?

[warped gulch]

Let it 🛌 forever

[hidden fog]

Prestige was the most united I've seen this community

[crude sandal]

I'm more interested in the powercreep that DickNA will implement

[hidden fog]

If you were there you would say the same thing

[warped gulch]

[crude sandal]

Like someone with a passive that ignores crit shield or someone with a passive that ignores Piercing Blow-like passives

[rare apex]

ib4 infliction freebie and charging infliction get nerfed, somehow

[vernal condor]

What 1 SpD drop does to a run

[crude sandal]

Didn't pray and sacrifice enough to RNGesus

[hidden fog]

Damn Acid do be making us all trip up

[prisma quail]

If that's true...

Then I'll say I'm happy with my 850k clear

[vernal condor]

you need no SpD drop and 1 para

to get that last sync

[neat raft]

☠️

[nova remnant]

Atp just b leer twice that would at least can get you to 4 Courtney syncs

1m still guaranteed

[vernal condor]

No because Speed drops are important for the strat

they let you spam sspore more

[nova remnant]

Ah

[warped gulch]

Easy, give enemy MGR9

[crude sandal]

Or make it so that the next status move is free and after that the next one costs gauges

[vernal condor]

Guys stop trying to nerf infliction spam strats

[warped gulch]

Idw to change how it works

[crude sandal]

Like this:
1st T-Wave: -2 Gauge
2nd T-Wave: Free
3rd T-Wave: -2 Gauge

[vernal condor]

it's literally a game mechanic cry about it

[nova remnant]

I can't wait for an enemy with literally any poison type move

That'll be fun

[warped gulch]

Slude wave, poison fang, …..

[nova remnant]

Poison jab

Toxic

[warped gulch]

Toxic + go viral 9

[neat raft]

if anything, they should give the opponent 3/4 bar moves only

[vernal condor]

bp barry got antitoxin

[vernal condor]

this tbh

[hidden fog]

Hello trainers. After some thorough investigations, we have determined that the following passive skills will no longer take into effect in Damage Challenge as they have provided an unfun and unfair game environment for everyone:

Charging Infliction
Infliction Freebie
Super Powered 3
Critical Strike 2

[vernal condor]

let them spam hyper beam and giga impact

[vernal condor]

Unfun, depends on your point of view
Unfair tho ? Nah that's a john right there

[warped gulch]

Definitely some redditer will like it

[crude sandal]

Feriocious Entry 6, Burst In and Critical Crit 9

[hidden fog]

It's been ages since I last went onto the PMEX Reddit

[vernal condor]

Good, then my Courtney can be in a pinch for my pinch: sync move 4% gear

[neat raft]

they can easily negate this by making all moves taking the same amount of time

[hidden fog]

Yeah

But they won't

[warped gulch]

No stop it

[unique abyss]

How f- will I be when steel DC comes? Colress/Grimsley for st and Solgaleo for triple?

[hidden fog]

Rose for triple

lmao

[unique abyss]

They forgot about that bad WW3 skill

[hidden fog]

ST is probably SCSelene nuke or whatever idk

[vernal condor]

do you see a rose in their screenshot

[hidden fog]

Weather in DC

I don't see a 1m in their ss

[warped gulch]

Ew SC Selene nuke

[hidden fog]

Sorry

[warped gulch]

[calm anvil]

My Courtney is 2/5 EX

[vernal condor]

colress is a 1m

[neat raft]

World War 3 is a good LS what u mean

[calm anvil]

She's a fucking general unit

[warped gulch]

Colress is free ST

[vernal condor]

3v3 too

[unique abyss]

I dont see either

[warped gulch]

Need Hilbert tho

[hidden fog]

It's ok Arthanos

This is a bad game mode anyways

Come to Rally

Everyone has fun in Rally

[vernal condor]

colress sc selene red

[warped gulch]

F2p Steel Zone when ?

[neat raft]

i went to try Bertha for this since she had 2 multipliers and 1 innate sync multiplier

[warped gulch]

[neat raft]

it didnt end well

[hidden fog]

[warped gulch]

Yeah

[hidden fog]

Let her retire

[warped gulch]

Trap + Sandstorm

[neat raft]

she dont even dish out a big number since her attk stats isnt really fab too

☠️

[vernal condor]

of course when i get the para i dont get the tm mpr

[warped gulch]

We should ready for Ghost 3vs3. Ground 3vs1 already done

[neat raft]

plus the fact she needs help to get her attk stats buffed makes matter worse ☠️

[unique abyss]

Tech galarian meowth could be a good f2p zone setter, could

[hidden fog]

Ghost 3v3 huh

Shauntal nuke

[warped gulch]

[hidden fog]

Enjoy that +2s every time she moves thanks to her Burn

[nova remnant]

[neat raft]

[copper otter]

Chat, what's a ground unit that can flinch?

[hidden fog]

Skyla

[copper otter]

Skyla's ground type?

[warped gulch]

Ground

[copper otter]

Cool

[hidden fog]

[unique abyss]

If you break her swanna's wing

[hidden fog]

Just use the search function

It's there for a reason

[crude sandal]

Nita with 20% chance

[vernal condor]

Run ruined again by a SpD drop

[crude sandal]

At 3/5

[copper otter]

[vernal condor]

Stalwart still makes you lose time

[warped gulch]

Yup

[hidden fog]

Any passive makes you lose time

[warped gulch]

Just lose less time

[hidden fog]

You really wanna slim it down

[vernal condor]

yeah but stalwart is faster

but still too slow

[hidden fog]

That's why I ungridded my Redlax ando nly took Adrenaline and MPR

[raw mason]

What sync grid do you use for Courtney ? I'm at ~500k with the same team

[hidden fog]

Anything else is a time waster

[warped gulch]

10% ready to ruin your ruin

20% too

[calm anvil]

Hello, I'm here to say (again) my Courtney is 2/5 EX

My highest score is 112

[nova remnant]

Just candy /j

[warped gulch]

We didn’t say anything bc 2/5 Courtney is useless /j

[nova remnant]

Don't actually

[raw mason]

Just pitypull /j

[hidden fog]

If your Courtney is 2/5 just take the L

Not even trying to be mean, that's just how it is

[calm anvil]

Luckless in spins

She's a general pool unit

[hidden fog]

Do a run, take your 100 gems, and go do something better

Like Battle Rally

[calm anvil]

I'm already struggling a bit in BR

[hidden fog]

Yeah but figuring this in BR is more fun than DC

DC is literally do you have X unit? No? Enjoy 300k

[calm anvil]

Not EX? Enjoy 100k

[hidden fog]

Anyways just head to the BR channel and there'll people who can help

Like me!

[warped gulch]

I think you can try stall tho

[hidden fog]

Not now tho am eepy

[warped gulch]

Hugh has 1 bar move

[rain copper]

Acid not debuffing my spdef challenge (impossible)

[vernal condor]

welcome to the club

[hidden fog]

Hi chat welcome to another video if hugh debuffs my spdef with acid this video will e

[neat raft]

e?

[vernal condor]

nd

the joke is that hugh already debuffed the spd

so the video ended

[neat raft]

☠️

[vernal condor]

hugh dc but the video ends when i get to sync 4 times with courtney

(5 hours long video)

[neat raft]

ah DC struggle stream

[nova remnant]

Do a facecam with it

https://tenor.com/view/gamer-crazy-gif-19728823

[eternal pecan]

The one in pins with the +4

[vernal condor]

sadly 3rd sync didn't crit so I didn't beat skippingmud BUT

[compact scaffold]

3* gears still going strong

[calm anvil]

I rather do High Score

[vernal condor]

Fucking finally

I should have 100k more damage but we ball

[icy pendant]

Did first sync not crit or something?

[vernal condor]

.

[icy pendant]

Third sync is only a 100k difference? dang

[vernal condor]

180k without crit

so with it and cs2 it's about a 100k diff yeah

[icy pendant]

for me my first Courtney sync not critting was an 80k difference so I figured all the subsequent ones would be a good bit above 100k

[calm anvil]

Damage Challenge? More like Emotional Damage Challenge

[vernal condor]

yeah same

[warped gulch]

Ah yes free 160k

[compact scaffold]

Based hippo

[floral lark]

Oh, so Bertha is good on this stage?
I know she has 3 ways of damaging the opponent each turn.

[sullen zephyr]

i remember way back then someone said bertha had a really good nuke

[warped gulch]

She is

[sullen zephyr]

sand tomb dps

[warped gulch]

She has stronger nuke than Courtney

[rare apex]

her nuke is nice but you lose a lot of time due to weather/trap

[warped gulch]

But you know, trap, sandstorm

[cloud tinsel]

whats a good courtney grid?

[rare apex]

+10e

[floral lark]

I could combine with Courtney's zone, maybe.

[abstract saddle]

Should it normally take until 1 minute left for the ThunderSpam to actually work instead of Hugh instantly queueing moves?

I am lowering his speed with SC Steven also

[cloud tinsel]

oh

[icy pendant]

that really only needs +4 to get all the more important tiles

[rare apex]

yeah adjust accordingly

you can get most good stuff with less than +10e

[unique abyss]

You can score 1M without any additional energy

[cloud tinsel]

without sc steven?

[rare apex]

even better

[unique abyss]

With

[cloud tinsel]

oh

guess i cant do 1M then

[icy pendant]

I think Redlax/Colress has also been cooking for 1m right?

[vernal condor]

close but no

[cloud tinsel]

dont have redlax either

[icy pendant]

I can’t use Barry for support EX so that’s what I’ve been on even though otherwise I have SCteven ready to go

[vernal condor]

I EX'd barry today

[cloud tinsel]

cool

[vernal condor]

too valuable for DC lol, and ig it's a good investment for lg too

[icy pendant]

I don’t have spirits to otherwise I would trust me

[unique abyss]

So you have to wait for the anni paid selects

[vernal condor]

trade offer: i give you you give me

[cloud tinsel]

[rare apex]

what a deal

it even allows you to do it in game!

[unique abyss]

YES

20 (10 ) spirits for one PU should be fine

[sullen zephyr]

hey you don't know when you need to EX 60 5* 20/20 all at once

[icy pendant]

actually though

[vernal condor]

[sullen zephyr]

does dena not know how ratios work?

[vernal condor]

they do, they want you to spend money

spend just enough money to have a perfect / ratio

[icy pendant]

DeNA would make a good bit of money off me if they had a paid pack like they do for but I’ll suffer in 1-2 EX per week because it gives me more reason to return to future runs of something like poison ST

[cloud tinsel]

previous best -> new best

colress died near the end like a loser lol

[sullen zephyr]

almost a 50% increase, massive

[sullen zephyr]

get picked for the team
spam your move like a maniac so your teammate can sync rush
all while tanking hits
died for the team
get called a loser

[vernal condor]

why do you tank with colress lol

[warped gulch]

I got Sandstorm mpr

[shy haven]

What’s the best ground damage dealer here? Courtney or something like variety Gio?

[vernal condor]

famous v gio tech nuke

[shy haven]

I mean really decent nuke

[compact scaffold]

DeNA found Bertha to be so strong they tailor-made DC to specifically nerf her, this is so sad

[shy haven]

It does make me realize how sparse good ground damage still is

[vernal condor]

fall roxanne would be good if b-move weren't actually a nerf

[shy haven]

The animation speed is the issue there though

It’s so long

[vernal condor]

yeah that's what i'm saying

b-moves are a nerf

[compact scaffold]

They should add a no animations mode like in the good ol’ mainline games

[neat raft]

[vast glade]

This is as far as I could get even using Steven b-move only twice

No idea what to do anymore

[warped gulch]

You can try 3

[vast glade]

I get even less :/

[nova remnant]

You should be able to barely reach the 4th Courtney sync since ur only using 2 leers

[warped gulch]

Maybe bc no crit

[normal parcel]

I don't think juggle is an issue when in the off turn you use t wave

MPR for seun

[rose basalt]

150k sync with +10physicsl boost and super effective with 5 sync boost on courtney max atk and def

.....

what the fk

enemy with -4 def

[warped gulch]

PMUN doesn’t make your Sync deal higher dmg

[normal parcel]

Unless you are NC cheren

[warped gulch]

That bc of his passive

Not how it works

[normal parcel]

Yes I know that's his passive

[rose basalt]

is there video of 1/5 sc steven, 5/5 courtney and bp barry

so i can renact the thing move by move

[warped gulch]

.

That is video for move rotation

Miss 2 crit so the pts isn’t that high

[normal parcel]

I know for sure that this team can get over 1m

But I guess ls and skill gears matters

[warped gulch]

With LS SP3 type gears is enough

But CS2 need decent skill gears

[normal parcel]

Is more that Steven and Barry want hs1

Otherwise you will have trouble reaching 5th sync

[warped gulch]

Ehhh, i dont need it

Ofc it helps

[rose basalt]

so it needs to crit..

[normal parcel]

I guess if you get a full para you don't need hs

[warped gulch]

But kinda expensive so i removed it for video

[rose basalt]

rip i cant for the life of me pray for w crit on courtney

[warped gulch]

You dont need para proc to reach 5th Sync

[rose basalt]

oh yeah i see the problem i wasted time using physicsl power up

[warped gulch]

That Video up there is for that

[normal parcel]

Even without double Hs1?

[warped gulch]

Ofc

[devout pelican]

I recommend squeezing in SC Steven TM just for the last Bulldoze to hit slightly harder

[warped gulch]

You cant watch it

[devout pelican]

But yeah, it's all about good crit for this one

[warped gulch]

I make it without HS1 and Adrenaline just for this

[devout pelican]

It's still bizarre no other limited pairs make the 1m mark

[sullen zephyr]

Wtf does this do

[devout pelican]

The absolute state of ground type (When no sandstorm allowed)

[lapis yarrow]

Is Head Start absolutely necessary for Stoutland and Roserade?

[unique abyss]

Make the game better

[vernal condor]

skip theme skill animation

[warped gulch]

No

But it helps

[devout pelican]

If you have no HS1, you cannot make use of SC Steven TM

[copper otter]

The closest non-Courtney run has been this so far.

[sullen zephyr]

But it says except theme skills

[devout pelican]

For a lodge, that's pretty good

[vernal condor]

ik it does something

i don't remember what

[copper otter]

I might try foxanne again.... but oof

[vernal condor]

where do you see a lodge pair

[unique abyss]

Lodge rhydon

[warped gulch]

L pair ?

[normal parcel]

I guess stalwart saved the day

[devout pelican]

[warped gulch]

[devout pelican]

Well, I am sorry since I don't keep track of giovanni's pokemon

[warped gulch]

Yup, No Spdef drop is the best

It still lose time tho

[normal parcel]

But I guess hs1 still plays animation at the start so maybe the time saved isn't that much

[lapis yarrow]

So who can replace him?

[sullen zephyr]

Whenever you feel useless, remember this exists

[normal parcel]

Expecially if you can't shave a whole -3

[devout pelican]

Red

[normal parcel]

This just skips sync part of sync and max moves animation

[devout pelican]

But if you use Red, you will pair him with Colress

[normal parcel]

Red wants corless for screech

[rose basalt]

80% crit chance my ass more like 90% chance no crit

[normal parcel]

Steven wants Barry for support ex

[devout pelican]

Just follow this run if you don't have 2 HS1 #1255888121648644197 message

[lapis yarrow]

Ok what is the optinal build for him? I don't have mine EXR'd and don't have the stuff to do it lol

[devout pelican]

1/5 Red is totally fine

Just grab the TM MPR and that's it

[normal parcel]

I guess Hs1 or adrenaline 1 ls

Make sure to pick tm mpr

[devout pelican]

Just don't grab any passive that will waste time (Toughen up or Tighten up)

[normal parcel]

I don't think it has those at 1/5

[fallen trail]

my first and so far best attempt… courtney got 4 syncs in, missed a crit on one though… every attempt since i’ve only gotten 3 in

[devout pelican]

I assume he has 3/5 if he's to ask about the grid

Is Rika the tank? Sounds like a bad idea with all the triage proc

[normal parcel]

It asked about 1/5 no exr

[fallen trail]

colress tanking

[devout pelican]

Still, those acid aoe tho

[normal parcel]

Nvm is just no exr

[fallen trail]

rikas zone lasts the whole fight

[normal parcel]

I assumed it was 1/5 too

[fallen trail]

never have to reapply it

that saves the time

[lapis yarrow]

My Red is 3/5

[normal parcel]

Acid will still hit her

[devout pelican]

Yeah, that's why I think she's bad for that

[fallen trail]

i am aware

[normal parcel]

In that case pick adrenaline 1

[fallen trail]

thats why colress is tanking lol

[hybrid lagoon]

Wait... Why aren't people using fall roxanne this dc

Or maxie

[unique abyss]

Too long animations

B move trap etc

[unborn vault]

Do you think Redlax would do this too?

[ivory kestrel]

Maxie got outclassed here with his assistant

[forest forge]

https://youtu.be/ToxeFubAZvg?si=KNEE-G--GYfgzi5f

[rose basalt]

and the last 2 syncs didnt crit

fk this

[fallen trail]

rebuff is really like that

[hybrid lagoon]

And no sc adaman clear either huh

[civic island]

I have her 3/5 EXR and she's not doing great
But I miss scSteven, that can help her a lot

[normal parcel]

That's slow too I guess

[devout pelican]

Aww she's that bad here?

[lapis yarrow]

What lucky skills are you using?

[normal parcel]

You don't want to deal with trap or even confusion multipliers

[dry whale]

Ah i think is good enough, don't want to invest in getting the skill gear necessary to push this. If it was main character or champion I have some very good ones but Villain and Hoenn not really

[normal parcel]

Adaman is a striker

[forest forge]

Fierce entry 2

[rose basalt]

once again one sync didnt crit....

[forest forge]

And other two can just have head start 1

[rose basalt]

why couldnt dena make these stages guaranteed crits

ffs

[normal parcel]

Then they can't profit from soften up 1 on 5/5 grids

[rose basalt]

wait i just noticed i have 3/5 sc steven.......

i thought i had 1/5

whats the 3/5 flinch strat

[civic island]

As you get raw stats you're fine
You don't need to hunt for multipliers or use ever pin

[devout pelican]

Saw a 3/5 Red EXR + BP Barry EX + Courtney EX clear. Seems like Red and Barry have HS1 and Red also has Adrenaline 1 on grid https://vxtwitter.com/t3yd3f/status/1813215802650423316

[civic island]

Tried that. Fitting one more sync but the problem is you get pretty much the same results w colress with standard pattern

[fallen trail]

probably the best this team can get

4 syncs all critted

gotta pray for a full paralyze or speed debuff after rika gets hit by acid

it is nice that rika's zone lasts for the whole fight, never have to reapply it

[rose basalt]

so sc steven 40% staggering and and yet have noy activiated a single time......

fking sht

[devout pelican]

RNG be like that. You will know the pain when you have to cancel a LG attempt just to look and make sure you have the right grid

[sterile pilot]

got it

[copper otter]

Steven's flinch is tied to no evasion

If no evasion isn't there, no flinch

[devout pelican]

Doesn't his buddy move apply that? Or it wears off?

[copper otter]

It wears off

Restrained stays

[hot bridge]

Got top 2 in the world. Basically need SC Steven

[sterile pilot]

tbf tho courtney was +4E and it was a necessary not blind investment, also this coming from you of all people just sounds ridiculous

[rose basalt]

its the goddam last sync im spamming barry but he never gets para and his long ass dragon pulse animation runs out

[hot bridge]

Put adrenaline on him

[rose basalt]

i already got 2 fking HS1

this is cheesing the sht outta me

[hot bridge]

Personally I think adrenaline is better than HS1 in him on this lvl specifically

HS1 on Steven or colress or who else ur using, and Adrenaline on Red or Barry

[fallen trail]

does courtney have to bulldoze twice after mega evolving to get eelektross back to -6 def since hugh uses his x def (which should be illegal)

[hot bridge]

No

[fallen trail]

just live with -4?

[hot bridge]

I only use Bulldoze at the very end

Yup

[rose basalt]

sigh ill try adrenaline

[fallen trail]

i suppose

[rose basalt]

and see where that goes

[hot bridge]

Honestly it's the crits. If you don't crit I insta restart.

Only one where crits really matter

[rose basalt]

its around the 2nd and/or 3rd sync

where i end up not getting it

[fallen trail]

80% is more like 50%

[hot bridge]

Do you have anything like flabbergast or Command on Steven?

[devout pelican]

More like 20%

[rose basalt]

more like 10%

[hot bridge]

I had tackle flabbergasted on and that screwed me since confusion takes precious seconds away

[lapis yarrow]

what am I doing wrong ughh

[loud cedar]

sadge

[hot bridge]

Lemme see ur grids

[loud cedar]

no head start 1 on sc steven/bp barry

[sacred badger]

lucky skills for them?

Head Start 1 for SC Steven as well?

[pliant pebble]

Did good this time

[lapis yarrow]

They are the same as the ones from on the pinned ones for this team

[loud cedar]

are you doing stun spore strat

[lapis yarrow]

yep

[loud cedar]

huh

maybe no para

[hot bridge]

Yup.

Steven HS1
Courtney SP3
Barry Adrenaline 1 (obviously sync with him 1st)

[sacred badger]

Hmm

[fallen trail]

wtf this was only 3 syncs my rika team had 4 😭 sorry rika rebuff is too strong

[sacred badger]

guess i'll be faarmring the next LG for Deluxe

[unique abyss]

Moltres: bonjour

[sullen zephyr]

No documented barry+courtney+red yet?

[normal parcel]

Restrain goes away too, but lasts more

[rose basalt]

steven 40% flinch more like 0%

40 attempts not a single chance

[fallen trail]

it only works if the opponent has no evasion on

[devout pelican]

Same here

[rose basalt]

?

[devout pelican]

I've been slacking. Now I got some excuse to do it

[rose basalt]

he has no evasion tho doesnt he

[loud cedar]

MY THIRD SYNC KEEPS NOT CRITING

[fallen trail]

no evasion doesnt last that long

[devout pelican]

The "No Evasion" interference.

[sacred badger]

i still havae 390+ of the 3star ones

[rose basalt]

[devout pelican]

It's not permanent

[fallen trail]

and it doesnt refresh when you use b leer if they already have it

[devout pelican]

I have none

[normal parcel]

For st crits always matters, for AOE you should expect some missed crits

[fallen trail]

soften up might be important for aoes lmao

which is crazy cuz that tile is usually a skip

[normal parcel]

Still wasn't worth over sp3 in the NC silver clear, but part of his damage was from b move too that didn't had 80% crit rate

[devout pelican]

Because we usually don't need 100% crit

[rose basalt]

so close

missed a crit

[sacred badger]

i'm gonna try again itseems :X

[loud cedar]

hmmm

the debuffs go crazy

[normal parcel]

I mean if you are doing AOE and your unit can barely reach 1m, you definitely want to.land those crits

Having to land 4 crits is annoying, but having to land like 9 in AOE is pretty terrible

[true locust]

Its my barry befor time end pres turd buy him self or others got this too

Since its realy annoing bug when he move and nobody press it

[loud cedar]

brot

three times in a row

courtney sync doesnt crit on the third sync

like what

[true locust]

Same like me i cant press move since after sync he use trud

And i never press it

[normal parcel]

I remember with Geeta once I had to reset like 30 times to get an mpr

[lapis yarrow]

So my Courtney has CS2 and Barry and Steven do not have either HS1 or adrenaline 1 guess I'm screwed lol

[normal parcel]

So far I have all the 3★ Leon medals, but bug st will 100% stop my streak regardless (unless I invest in SS Hilbert)

[left vine]

1st try, got real lucky with the paralysis procs

Y'all forced me to pick Steven Holmes from Mix

[normal parcel]

For psychic single don't know if jacq will be mandatory

[rose basalt]

giving these stages lessen para/sleep and long animation moves just straight up evil

i unironically hope dena goes bankrupt for thks

[lapis yarrow]

Using HS1?

[devout pelican]

Still, bizarre how DeNA planned it all with sync have -20% modifier on crit only to sell Soften Up later on

[left vine]

giving these stages lessen para/sleep and long animation moves just straight up evil

[loud cedar]

4 times in a row now???

[left vine]

Yes

[normal parcel]

Don't know if anni may exr can easily get 1 m, setting up her sync seems pretty hard in dc

[rose basalt]

fk it 850k

the closest ill get to

im done with this sht

[lapis yarrow]

So what it comes down to is if yoiu don't have deluxe cookies..you're screwed..uhh

[ivory kestrel]

Bye Felicia, messed up a bit near the end but still managed to land the 5th sync and PMUN boosted Bulldoze at the end

[left vine]

Same for units

[warped gulch]

You can make up by …. gears

[nova remnant]

My CS2 Courtney managed to get 990k with some gears yeah

[loud cedar]

damn double hs1 really breaks 1 mil?

without hs1 this is the best i could get

[lapis yarrow]

Yeah me issue is that I'm not too familiar with how the gears work and how to use the feathers

[fallen trail]

courtney's grid is also pretty important

be sure to grab super syncer

[nova remnant]

It can but not necessary imo

[loud cedar]

hmm

maybe im missing something then

[left vine]

Gears

[jaunty stratus]

Who'd be better, 5/5 cynthia or 3/5 exr vgio?

[loud cedar]

ohh

right

[left vine]

VGio probably

[loud cedar]

am i really gonna slave away rerolling gears

[fallen trail]

i ran this

[loud cedar]

ill try

[jaunty stratus]

Won't vgios earthquake take more time

[fallen trail]

obv with extra energy you can grab the extra sync tile

if you really wanna optimize

[loud cedar]

which gear should i reroll first/important stats?

[loud cedar]

oh u dont run sharp entry?

[latent plover]

Got 900k. I can get a million if all syncs crit

[fallen trail]

no she needs mpr to get +6 atk anyways

[nova remnant]

I just use the pre made gears to make up the fact my Courtney is only 3/5

Got me to 1mil

[loud cedar]

i see

[jaunty stratus]

Is your courtney exed

[fallen trail]

oh if you were running courtney with +4 atk then yeah that'd explain the difference lol

[plush palm]

+7% sync

[copper otter]

I genuinely despise that I have to run Courtney

[fallen trail]

huh i should really use the rainbow feathers more

[copper otter]

She is not fun to play with at all

[loud cedar]

what feathers did you use

i have not done this before LMAO

[left vine]

She DC is not fun to play with at all

[fallen trail]

those are the ones for rika, greta, and volo

their events

[nova remnant]

Rika's, Greta's and SC Adaman's

[fallen trail]

oh nvm thats adamans

[jaunty stratus]

SO TRUE

[fallen trail]

volo has almost the same theme skills on his lmao

[loud cedar]

ohh

oh i dont have those feathers

uh…

[fallen trail]

wait gretas feather is kinda nice

[loud cedar]

hm..

[fallen trail]

i never even realized

yeah if you didnt get those from the shop when their events ran then you cant get em

well, you can get gretas rn

[copper otter]

Nah, it's specifically her. I hate having to use mega evos

[fallen trail]

but the other two

[cursive linden]

I HAVE TO DO 1.3M NEXT RESET????

[copper otter]

Makes it worse that she has no extension for GZ

[cursive linden]

https://tenor.com/view/akira-leave-me-alone-tetsuo-tetsuo-shima-leave-me-alone-meme-gif-12118377099744361472

wait no

1.15M

[fallen trail]

triple ghost.... might be time to finally exr ssr cynthia huh

[copper otter]

To make matters worse, i love how she just refuses to crit

[cursive linden]

I ONLY HAVE SSR CYNTHIA 1/5 EXR

[fallen trail]

well, not like i have anything else to give this strike cake too

[cursive linden]

WHYYYYYYY

[copper otter]

Fantina gaming

[cursive linden]

[copper otter]

You heard me

[loud cedar]

oh fr?

[copper otter]

Did i stutter?

[nova remnant]

Oh right ghost 3v3

[loud cedar]

oops didnt mean to reply

with that

[nova remnant]

[scenic grotto]

Is Courtney really the only unit that is able to hit 1 million damage?

[fallen trail]

yeah check the event shop for the klara/avery/greta event

[copper otter]

Yes

[nova remnant]

Soften up has really become a high point of interest due to DC

[copper otter]

Unfortunately

And she is miseranle to use

[fallen trail]

rn yeah only courtney has done it

[copper otter]

Closest is Vgio with 800k

[nova remnant]

Crazy how the genpool is the best one for this rotation

[fallen trail]

ground tech is just neglected

[nova remnant]

We all thought it would be foxanne

[left vine]

Remember when we were all surprised that Ground has the crappiest roster?

Yeah me neither

[nova remnant]

When's the Clay run

[sacred badger]

Trying to get to 900k orz

[copper otter]

What ground units do when they require things that spend way too much time

[fallen trail]

f roxanne with strike exr will be better for the aoe stage

[copper otter]

Not even tbh

Vgio

[nova remnant]

Idk foxanne set up is already abysmal even for a 3v1

[fallen trail]

her nuke is stronger

cuz multiplier

but thats a while aways anyways

who's the fastest unit that can get the opponent team to -6 in def and sp def? is it lenora?

[ivory kestrel]

I forgot to level up Courtney to 150 prior this run lol. Though i dont know if that was significant enough.

[last stream]

When I tried earlier trap ran out because they keep attacking

[nova remnant]

If her set up isn't such an ass then she would be great here, she's just not good for a mode that wants a highly optimized run

Oh right trap can run out 💀

So that's another thing

[sacred badger]

Urgh

[fallen trail]

i think this is best for ghost aoe... one thing that'll be imporant to do is use shadow force right before the opponent syncs so cynthia gets seun, then shadow force gets interrupted by sync and the seun can be used for her sync

[last stream]

Gardenia has aoe metal sound and is field support ex

[fallen trail]

oh gardenia i forgot her

well lenoras budget ig

also no def drops from gardenia

[warped gulch]

But Colress is right there

[plush palm]

whoops replied to the wrong dude

[sacred badger]

Syncing with exr Summer Gardenia any good?

[fallen trail]

screeching 9 times

[warped gulch]

Why 9 ?

[fallen trail]

there are 3 targets

[last stream]

Both of them can queue screech and sound in the same turn

And both are aoe

[rose basalt]

can someone tell me what im doing wrong? i cant get more than 3 syncs from courtney

sides both have hs1

[loud cedar]

paralysis is a status condition right

[fallen trail]

wait colress has ripple effect oml im dumb

[warped gulch]

But his debuff is Aoe

[last stream]

Yes

[warped gulch]

[sour lark]

Screeching 3 times

[fallen trail]

ok yeah colress/s gardenia/ssr cynthia is probably the optimal team

i dont have s gardenia so

i'll find some budget

[last stream]

How can gears screech?

[copper otter]

Itxs called not having WD-40

[sacred badger]

S Gardenia for gz + exr sup?

[fallen trail]

yes and enabling cynthia's smarty pants

[sacred badger]

Im down xD

[fallen trail]

remember the key: use shadow force right before the opponent syncs

secret cheat

[last stream]

Too bad I won’t strike cake her for a while

[fallen trail]

gets you seun sync

[plush palm]

gonna be stuck using ssr cynthia w/ lenora

[copper otter]

Can someone give me a good candidate that can reliably raise PMUN fairly well that isn't SC Steven?

[fallen trail]

yeah i might have to use lenora

rough

[prisma quail]

I'm hoping Dhelmise/H-Zoroark works well too.

I'm expecting 1 million with the team, easy

[copper otter]

I'm going to double down on B-Earthquake DPS

[plush palm]

Redlax. H jasmine

[copper otter]

Wait, Hjasmine does PMUN?

[plush palm]

maybe?

maybe?i vaguely remember ampharos having it

[copper otter]

Physical move up next?

[sacred badger]

Oh im almost there for the second dc unit o.o

[prisma quail]

Yes lol

Ampharos has seun

[copper otter]

Huh....

[sacred badger]

She does SEUan

[copper otter]

I SAID PMUN

[fallen trail]

h jasmine doesnt have pmun no

[copper otter]

[plush palm]

whoops

[fallen trail]

just seun

For being out first true infinite PMUN

[loud cedar]

gear diff

[fallen trail]

zamn

not bad

[loud cedar]

625k to 800k with gears and no hs1

adrenaline on barry tho

[prisma quail]

Regigigas, and Glimmora

[copper otter]

@prisma quail to an ally?

[last stream]

Jasmine does have PMUN. It’s mighty friend 9

[copper otter]

I didn't know regi could

[loud cedar]

glimmora can give to ally

oh regi can?

[copper otter]

Idk, that's what i'm asking

[remote pebble]

regi can’t

[fallen trail]

palmer cannot give pmun to allies what is this gaslighting

[opaque needle]

Courtney CS2

[copper otter]

Then why suggest Palmer

[nova remnant]

You can theoretically make it infinite if you have good MPR

[last stream]

She do tho

[remote pebble]

what’s the ideal strategy for using sc steven
his b-move seems like it takes so much time so do you just skip using that

[loud cedar]

now my question is who the hell do i choose from the exchangeable units

[remote pebble]

nemona because rock zone

[prisma quail]

He reliably raises pmun.

You didn't say "raise someone else's"

[loud cedar]

i have diantha

[last stream]

They’re all mid. So pick who you like.

[remote pebble]

take nemona still because diantha needs a rock zone partner

[copper otter]

[loud cedar]

my weakest types rn are flying and ice

thinking

[loud cedar]

oh true

[plush palm]

ice looks ok

[remote pebble]

or gladion if you need ice

[copper otter]

Ncrosa/ScSteven/Vgio..... might work....

[last stream]

Context

[copper otter]

But animation time abysmal

[loud cedar]

nc red-less is pain

this ice box is so cope

[nova remnant]

Hey man at least you got EX Hala

Pretty good nuke

[remote pebble]

Ouch
not a single limited ice

yeah i’d say get gladion then

[loud cedar]

yep..

okey

[remote pebble]

he’s like egg glaceon if it did something

[last stream]

Glacia is limited. She shows up all the time in limited banners

[loud cedar]

for comparison this is my flying box..

[copper otter]

Just for context. I've been able to get B earthquake do sync damage consistently

[remote pebble]

holiday rosa

[loud cedar]

pog!

atleast i have a limited unit in flying right

haha

[remote pebble]

blue is still a really good flying unit tho

for being the first gacha unit ever? pretty solid damage!

[left vine]

Hail team let's go!

[rare apex]

wondering how well irida will do myself

hail damage cringe

[nova remnant]

my ice 3v3 is gonna be shit lol
