Damage Challenge

[nova remnant]

3v1 I can manage

[remote pebble]

what’s the ideal way to use sc steven
his b-move seems like it takes a real long time to come out so do you just not use it

[rare apex]

for ground or just in general

[spark olive]

you'd need to be super lucky and get like 6 or 7 refresh on redlax tm

[remote pebble]

both really

[rare apex]

i used all three vs hugh and it's worked fine for me

[remote pebble]

alright

[prisma quail]

Use his tackle once

Use his buddy move twice. The third time isn't as useful, but twice at helps to open up your paralyze spam windows.

At the end of the fight, if you know you won't hit another sync nuke, use pmun to buff a bulldoze.

I got 850k points that way

[rare apex]

but it really depends on who your damage dealers are, the speed debuffs are universally good but if you're using a special attacker, you obviously won't get as much mileage from the defense drops

unless you're using some meme unit like Thorton

[rose basalt]

seems like u basically need para to proc cuz otherwise i cant get my 5th sync in even with 2 HS1......

[tired narwhal]

If I don’t have SC Steven, or SS erika (I’m a day 1 idk how tf I don’t have SS erika yet). Is my best choice colress + red snorlax + Courtney?

[left vine]

Yeah I had to get like 1? 2? Paras to proc just to have enough time for the last boosted Bulldoze

[rose basalt]

i cant even sync

5th time

since he get soff dragon pulse right before

[prisma quail]

Pretty much

[rose basalt]

and time runs ou

moves should be allowed to go through if u clicked them

[tired narwhal]

Gitchu

[sullen zephyr]

My hugh is 4/5 why tf is colress only at 2/5

Def drop would be so useful

[unborn vault]

Why so???

I don't get what would the strategy be

[vernal orbit]

Isn't colress better than barry here due to screech?

[tired narwhal]

What tiles do I want for red snorlax?

For its move refresh that decreases sync countdown

[unborn vault]

I... don't have Colress... despite being a day1

Colress keeps dodging me

[vernal orbit]

Took me a while to get 3/5 courtney too

[acoustic chasm]

Something I never bothered to look up before: does the mega evolution boost take into account stat increases from gear?

[ivory kestrel]

From what i gather, use Colress with Redlax, or use BP Barry with SC Steven.

[copper otter]

....that i'm not sure

[plush palm]

barry is for when you dont need def debuffs

[tired narwhal]

What tiles do I need to make red and snorlax efficient here

Have em at 3/5

[vernal condor]

tm mpr, adrenaline

[plush palm]

thats it

[tired narwhal]

And then what lucky skill. I was gonna do adrenaline for it

But if it’s in grid

Head start maybe?

[plush palm]

maybe shielding strikes on max move to make courtney setup faster

[rose basalt]

lessen para 8
never gets paralyzed

just need 2 procs so i have enough time

[plush palm]

HS yeah

[vernal orbit]

Thank u for the input, unfortunately no redlax or steven here

I usually do ss dawn for speed shenanigans

[crude flume]

Ground weak is too hard damn it

[plush palm]

courtney isnt a bad ex option lol

[vernal orbit]

Does Courtney's node that creates ground zone on sync activate the zone before sync damage?

[latent plover]

No

[vernal orbit]

Alright thank u

[latent plover]

Only after sync it gets activated

[vernal orbit]

I'll ignore it then

[plush palm]

you dont need it btw

you wont run out of zone if youre running colress

[dense scarab]

Shielding Strikes is sadly only for Redlax... doesn't benefit allies

[plush palm]

wait what

rip

[dense scarab]

Gave him Barricade Buddies but not AOE Defense buffs lmao

[cursive linden]

My Ghost 3v3 team

My Flying 3v1 team

[unborn vault]

Uuh Brandon is interesting

[cursive linden]

Sp. Def debuffer

[unborn vault]

Yea makes total sense

[cursive linden]

Plus this shit

[unborn vault]

Spdef debuffer and sprint

[cursive linden]

Fucking.......

[unborn vault]

I KNOW

[cursive linden]

ADRENALINE AND HS 1

https://tenor.com/view/broly-dbz-dragon-ball-z-gif-12198767

[plush palm]

not sure if he needs team tough lick

[cursive linden]

AND SPEED DEBUFFER + PARA SPAM FROM COLRESS

Wait-huh what?

I don't think so

[vernal orbit]

Hate it when they do x defense

[cursive linden]

Bro, i wish i had SS Brendan having HS1 as his lucky skill

Does SS Serena have better nuke than NC Nate?

[crude sandal]

Opposite

Especially with Nate having circle boost and also having Colress

[cursive linden]

[crude sandal]

Which Colress provides Screech and Unova passives

[acoustic chasm]

Acid gets the drop EVERY TIME

[vernal orbit]

It's a little annoying yea

[plush palm]

acid is really annoying yeah

[vernal orbit]

It's not worth to get hunter's instinct on courtney right

[plush palm]

nope

[vernal orbit]

I think I'm done for today cba

580k ain't bad

[cursive linden]

Who's the support? NC Rosa spamming sing?

[vernal orbit]

I wish holiday jasmine had some form of sync acceleration

[plush palm]

should be using her as a pure nuker till the last 10 seconds or so when you need last ditch dmg

[vernal orbit]

Prayge she gets sprint role

[crude sandal]

Redlax OFC

[plush palm]

i dont think theyre gonna be buffing old seasonals

[cursive linden]

God fucking dammit..........

[dense scarab]

Literally have no idea how people are hitting a mil with Courtney

[vernal orbit]

Every unit that reruns gets a role no?

[rose basalt]

im debating dropping super powered 3 for cs 2 and just praying for crit at this point

[vernal orbit]

Hm ig not all of them

[dense scarab]

Can barely hit 500k

[plush palm]

+7% sync dmg gear

and sync rushing w/ colress and redlax

[dense scarab]

That's what I was doing - the gear

[acoustic chasm]

Same, my best was 700k and there's nowhere near enough time for another sync

[crude sandal]

With Redlax and SC Steven

[dense scarab]

Doing the same to no avail

[rose basalt]

what about para

actually why am i even questioning it i never get para to proc

its useless

[crude sandal]

Speed debuff from SC Steven

[rose basalt]

time for 70th attempt

[plush palm]

gl

[rose basalt]

im losing it

[crude sandal]

I'm tempted to double candy Redlax

[rose basalt]

dena is cruel giving them moves with l9ng animation

and lessen status

and x def

[rose basalt]

so with those 3 who am i spamming moves?

tackle on steven?

or just pray for redlac tm refresh

[crude sandal]

Tackle spam

[rose basalt]

is red exr?

cuz its gg if it is

[crude sandal]

Oh definitely

[rose basalt]

[cursive linden]

[ivory kestrel]

DeNA, i will give you a sure fire way to boost revenue. Exclusive Deluxe cookies in the shop. First up: Propulsion 1

[tired narwhal]

Oh Yeahh I have SS Serena. Is she better option than 3/5 Courtney?

[clever wasp]

LETS GOOOO

Bulldoze at the end

6/6 on 1 million+ but ghost could end it

Cuz my ghost pairs, the limited time ones are only 1/5 for me

And I don't even have ghost gear gear level 15

[tired narwhal]

About How much damage do u do each sync pokeboy

[plush palm]

for 3v1 ex morty can actually hit for decent dmg now

he got haymaker in his grid expansion

[cloud timber]

how many debuffs?

[clever wasp]

Drifblim?

[cursive linden]

What's better? OG Morty 5/5 EXR or SSR Cynthia 1/5 EXR?

[clever wasp]

120k first and then 220ish and then 300k

Cynthia at ex would give the tech buff

[opaque needle]

No debuff, Hugh has +2def

[cloud timber]

gotcha

[crude flume]

Ok yeah

[cloud timber]

my best run went to -1 def lol

843k

[hot bridge]

Ya boy just hit rank #1

[warped gulch]

[shrewd fractal]

got 500k so far with Colress SS Elesa Courtney

[crude flume]

Yeah but you did damage

[warped gulch]

Bertha is ontype so

[crude flume]

You can’t do that

[warped gulch]

Why not

[clever wasp]

Sooo thinking about giving my Steven 2/5

[warped gulch]

[crude flume]

The point is to be funny and not do damage

Silly

ST rock weak will probably be the best for this

[cursive linden]

Staraptor?

Imagine him using brave bird

AND WE GOT BONUS FROM HIS RECOIL

[scenic grotto]

250k with 5/5 EX Cynthia
Yet too lazy to spend tickets to turn my 2/5 Courtney into 3/5
Such dilemma

[cloud timber]

gridding for slash?

[scenic grotto]

Gridded for sync spam ._.

[cloud timber]

i think 5/5 cynthia can 500k potentially

[rose basalt]

lol im doing every thing right but the fact that last 200k dmg i have to rely on rng for para proc is a such a bs thing made by dena

[cloud timber]

i reached 450k

and then i realized that i didn't have slash cs9 on and i had 40% propulsion on tm which didn't do much

[scenic grotto]

I’d be fine with 500k with my 5/5 Cynthia

[cloud timber]

but i had 3/5 exr redlax and 2/5 larry

focus on boosting slash and then put the rest in syncs

sc steven can replace larry

[rose basalt]

after 90 something attempts i finally did it

proced para 3 times in a row

painful

[hidden fog]

https://tenor.com/view/what-did-it-cost-how-much-did-you-do-it-gif-19622573

[rose basalt]

triple ghost.... if i dont get leon 3* with 3/5 exr cynthia i will delete my pmex acc

[acoustic chasm]

Welp, then I don't see 1M being possible without SC Steven or Red

[last stream]

[rose basalt]

yeah it was impossible for me cuz he kept getting his long ass animayion moves in

right as i hit sync the timer goes to 0

i pray you dont need 90 something attempts like me

[acoustic chasm]

Naw, I won't even attempt lol
Don't have either steven nor red
I'm fine with 750k

[rose basalt]

i also got refresh on x def for courtney

so i was spamming that sht too

and tackle

[acoustic chasm]

But maybe I can squeeze in 50k more with some phys ups from Jasmine for Bulldoze

[rose basalt]

some couple hours of sleep and wasted some time at work

slow day so i have nothing to do rn

[acoustic chasm]

Gridded Stalwart for both Jasmine and Barry too

[scenic grotto]

I have neither SC Steven or Larry
But I do have Rika

[floral blade]

ok courtney is only 2/5 for me and uh

wow the nuke is not nuking

[chilly prawn]

First run so close

[floral blade]

idk if im just not criting any time

but shes doing fucking nothing lmao

[chilly prawn]

Looks like a lot of luck to get 1 mil plus

[floral blade]

as in

[cloud timber]

you can try rika, just save her b move until somewhat close to the end to minimize poison procs

[plush gyro]

Courtney grids?

[floral blade]

i got more damage with ss gio spamming mega kick

ig missing towering force 3/5 is agony

[plush gyro]

Any Courtney grids that is best for this challenge?

[floral blade]

seems like just

3/5 towering force and ground wish MPR

[plush gyro]

Thanks

[prisma quail]

That grid builds itself

It's pretty uncomplicated

[floral blade]

If only i could get courtney

[plush gyro]

I used a grid with Hunter instinct

[floral blade]

to 3/5

[plush gyro]

And towrting force

Towering*

[prisma quail]

Ew, why lol

[floral blade]

sadly i have good single target units of a type when its multi target

[prisma quail]

Hunter's Instinct doesn't affect sync move

[floral blade]

and vice versa

so

[cloud timber]

yeah don't use hunter's instinct

[floral blade]

its p annoying

is there an electic week for max easiness or

no

[cursive linden]

Does Towering Force get affected from BASE defense?

[floral blade]

or electric one ik its not weekly

[prisma quail]

[turbid vault]

You would be surprised how much of the player base seems incapable of using their brain to do anything but step by step copy of a video

[civic island]

It's possible w good rolls/ stats gears

[floral blade]

hugh in september

e

[prisma quail]

I guess I'm not, at this point...

But this particular grid literally is just "grab the sync items, and mpr since you are self buffing"

[acoustic chasm]

I have +100 atk on Courtney

I just need one more sync, but there's always only 11~14 seconds left

[floral blade]

oh

my dumbass forgot to mess with gear

this whole time

lmao

i always forget gear exists

do the theme gears need all themes or just

any of them

[civic island]

I have +100 and Critastrophe 3%
I'm 14k away from it

[acoustic chasm]

What team?

[civic island]

#1255888121648644197 message

[acoustic chasm]

Red

[cursive linden]

What's better? SSR Cynthia 1/5 EXR or OG Morty 5/5 EX

[civic island]

Oh you miss also red dang
Btw Akr got 1M f2p even if the gear was a bit too much
P sure you can get really close to it

[cloud timber]

prob ssrc

but you'd have to check

[chilly prawn]

I have a quest I always see pins like what trope just posted but the link never works

What am I doing wrong

[civic island]

Server quotes?

Is your app updated?

[acoustic chasm]

I'll keep trying for a bit, but the amount of paralysis + sync crits needed is

[civic island]

Ye also acid is a cursed move

When everything is right but you're getting consistent spdef drop

[acoustic chasm]

I have 3% ground sync boost from gear and 5% opp paralyzed move boost
Just need that extra time for another sync (best run was 750k with the last sync being 230k, so another one could push it to 1M)

[cloud timber]

they're quoting messages that you don't have loaded on your client so if you scroll up they'll load

[scenic grotto]

Hhhh… the eternal dilemma of knowing I should 3/5 Courtney via tickets and EX her but being too lazy to want to use anything but my 5/5 Cynthia

[floral blade]

so like does this mode just have reduced para proc are am i very unlucky lmao

[ivory kestrel]

why do i have a feeling that Ground 3v3 won't be a cakewalk either. I could see both Maxie and SS Giovanni struggling even with AoE attacks and syncs

[civic island]

Morty
Also consider evasion
*But always depend on team in the end

[floral blade]

hm

evasion tanking

[cloud timber]

i upgraded courtney for this one

if you can spare the resources do it imo

otherwise you're screwed again next time we get single target ground

[cursive linden]

I spend about 300 tickets

i didnt get her

[floral blade]

will avery be good for the

[cursive linden]

for 5/5

[floral blade]

single psychic coming soon

[cursive linden]

SS Steven

[scenic grotto]

[floral blade]

if you dont have ss steve

[cursive linden]

or.... Anni May

[floral blade]

or her either

[cursive linden]

Wait, what's better for ST? 3/5 SS Steven EXR or Anni May 5/5 EXR?

[plush palm]

ss steven has better multiplier

and no mega

[scenic grotto]

Ideally you would be able to get 1 million on single and multi stage with the same unit
I.E. SS Roxie can get 1 Million on poison weak single so she will likely be able to get 1 Million of poison weak multi

[floral blade]

unfortunately i was busy and forgot about poison stage

[cursive linden]

Eye sea

[plush palm]

dont wprry it sucked

[floral blade]

i do have ss roxie built enough tho so

for future redf

ref

[plush palm]

got 600k and called it a day

[floral blade]

should be ok

[cursive linden]

SS Steven having Support kek makes me think that he doesn't need support, right?

wait no

Colress/SS Steven/SS Brendan

Yeah that should do it

[civic island]

Without colress

[plush palm]

honestly you should just run barry

he needs no def debuffs

[civic island]

And probably also w/o brendan

[cursive linden]

double para spam?

then again no sp.def debuffer

[civic island]

Red BP Barry

[cursive linden]

OH OF FUCKING COURSE

THE UNIT THAT I DONT HAVE

[civic island]

Then Dana

Or a psy terrain user

[plush palm]

pretty sure redlax gives the same buff as a psychic terrain

it should both be 50% iirc

[cursive linden]

Dana needs 3/5?

[civic island]

Better a psy terrain

[cursive linden]

Ok so
Anni May/SS Steven/BP Barry

[civic island]

You should not care abt tm mprs too much

[cursive linden]

Bianca or SS May?

[civic island]

Sound good

[plush palm]

anni may has propulsion on terrain

[cursive linden]

Very well

[cloud timber]

decent for now

+40k

[floral blade]

missing tforce is agony man why cant tickets be better than 5* powerup

also whats the red grid

[cloud timber]

tm mpr and adrenaline

[floral blade]

oh he has sprint role thing

[civic island]

I'm so sad fRoxanne is doing nothing this round for me
I have her 3/5 EXR but no sc Steven for her

[floral blade]

welp

need sprint cake

cause instant -4 CD after sync is spicy

[cloud timber]

yea it's really nice

-5 if you can stack adr1 as a lucky skill

[floral blade]

also adrenaline lucky cake eventually

yee

[cloud timber]

ye

though i would have taken hs1 if it gave it to me

[plush palm]

run HS1 on barry / colress and adrenaline on redlax?

[turbid vault]

Just use her on the AOE ground later

[plush palm]

ran out of cookies trying to get it on colress

[civic island]

Yep

[scenic grotto]

Ok

[sour granite]

The team choices are fucking scuffed imo

For ground

I see maxie or SS Giovanni which is fair enough but

I don't see that much of either being paired with Courtney

Tf is wrong with that

[icy pendant]

sync rushing

ground as a whole is just a scuffed type

[sour granite]

Bruh really

[cloud timber]

yep

[vast glade]

Argh, almost

[plush palm]

gl

could try tweaking some gear

[vast glade]

Does Hugh always use X defense as his second move or am I being unlucky?

[cloud tinsel]

yippee

[civic island]

Time in this gamemode is simply too valuable

[clever wasp]

Always

[vast glade]

Thanks

[plush palm]

pretty sure thris mode is scripted

[nova remnant]

No

[vast glade]

Now focus is on getting mpr

[scenic grotto]

Still got my fingers crossed for an Arceus unit that can 1 Million every stage with Redlax and Colress coming this anniversary

[cloud tinsel]

Yippee

only better buff i can think of is EXing Courtney (not possible) or raising her level to 150…

Hm…

ok, this is promising…

[sharp roost]

Is Barry the best 3rd pair here?
Courtney, Steven, and Barry?
Is it because the para proc?

[vast glade]

Because of EX support sync

He has both para proc and gives 2x sync

[sharp roost]

Well my question was that, is there anything better?

[nova remnant]

No

At least for that team comp

[cloud timber]

top team unless it changed

[timid tree]

is it worth trying sc steve/courtney/bp barry when youre out of adrenaline/head start cookies for barry?

[cloud timber]

100%

[sharp roost]

Good thing I already had Head start on Steven

[vernal condor]

would be really funny if the list stays like that

tho i think having a colress/red clear would be nice for documentation sake

[snow raptor]

@warped gulch did you had specific gear for that 1 M damage ? sorry i don't have the faith to scroll up i think you said no but want to make sure xD

[normal parcel]

If you can roll +80 and +20 I guess you don't need any multiplier

If you get a good sync multiplier then you can even use gears with a bit less attack

[vast glade]

I quit. Tried several times already...

[last stream]

Introducing HSE style resets to casual players

[normal parcel]

Those will be better for AOE, single target you want tech or maybe sprint nukers

[compact scaffold]

I got 1m using 3* gears but I did put sp3 on Courtney

[normal parcel]

If you have super gauge friendly units I guess triple DPS may be viable (not for ground ofc)

I remember getting 1m in fighting weak with triple dps

[last stream]

This stupid elektross is too fast

[compact scaffold]

Iono reference

[last stream]

He still zooming at -6 bastard

Acid is only 1 gauge… someone at Dena forgot..

[normal parcel]

They didn't wanted to make twave spam always the answer

However I think twave spam was somewhat intended or accounted, because the only advantage that st has over Mt is that twave spam is more effective

Without twave spam st would be strictly harder than mt

[last stream]

I mean, they must have accounted for this, otherwise they would’ve adjusted times.

[normal parcel]

I mean there's no possible way to score 1m without twave spam

You can do it in most AOE fights I guess and I did it in fighting weak, but there's no way to get 1m in ground st without the para spam

[last stream]

Most of the higher types are scheduled for later.

[vernal condor]

Without T Wave it's literally impossible to reach 1M on most stages

we're already barely above 1M on this one

[acoustic chasm]

I'm so fking over this
It's pick your poison: paralysis luck or Breathtaking MPR
Neither one procs EVER

[cloud timber]

there we go, best i'm getting

[true locust]

Not bad 🙂

[cloud timber]

6 syncs, both support exes used, mini potion at the start bc it's faster than stun spore, cs2, can technically fit in one more seup bulldoze but not worth grinding

[prisma quail]

I actually think this was my 1 million clear.

I think the 4th sync didn't crit....

[prisma quail]

That team with EX Camerupt can hit 500k

[normal parcel]

I think we need a tier list of fastest and slowest moves

Slash I think is electrode tier, while blooming mortal spin is slowpoke tier

Can't wait to DPS bug single with egg scyter

[frail fulcrum]

Needed decent skill gear, all my syncs to crit, and at least one full para

Also had SP3 on courtney

[cloud timber]

cynthia has so much grid help and 500k is still a stretch (without throwing in courtney)

having them together and skipping the para spammer can get like 700k i think

something i attempted

[lusty galleon]

you tried the slash spam?

it was a fun experiment to do lol

[cloud timber]

yep

[teal harness]

who can be a good replacemente for steven?

[cloud timber]

redlax would be next best i think, had my screenshot a bit above

[bold star]

Took me hours of tries and Hugh almost never stayed paralized and the only time he did i missed 2 crit syncs. This is my highest score and I am not doing more

[clever wasp]

Haven't heard a word. Adaman doesn't work?

[cloud timber]

i haven't seen anyone post sc adaman scores no

[covert geyser]

+100 atk skill gear, pain

[clever wasp]

Gonna assume his burn damage eats time

[clever wasp]

Yeah it's pretty much a bulldoze short

[cloud timber]

it would yea

[covert geyser]

I did bulldoze at the end

Managed to sneak in a +6 pmun

Probably didn't crit a sync

[plush palm]

yep that 20% chance for a crit to not sync will kill you

[copper otter]

Has anyone done a non-courntey run yet?

[cloud timber]

i did bertha and cynthia attempts before investing in courtney

[humble lagoon]

What grid do y’all have for Courtney?

[sweet grail]

The same old +4

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/22200/32300?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFFRgZIyUoKSotLi8

[zinc pecan]

Do I suck? I keep missing the final sync for Courtney.

Is it a user issue or does Adrenaline for Barry over Head Start patch up the difference?

[vernal condor]

you need paralysis to proc at least once

and no SpD drops from acid

it sucks

[zinc pecan]

How many uses of Binding Leer from Steven?

2 or 3?

[sweet grail]

3

[lapis yarrow]

what are the best skill gears to get? Are they worth it or regular gear enough?

[zinc pecan]

does barry have a grid tile for increased para procs?

[vernal condor]

nop

[acoustic elk]

Define cooked:

[icy pendant]

no genpools means I think you’re cooked for way more than this DC rotation ngl

[clever wasp]

I tried SS Giovanni but he needs gauges really badly

[copper otter]

I would like to personally delete courtney from the game because she refuses to crit

I hate using her so much

Genuinely the worst ground unit in the game to ever use.

[vernal condor]

?? just get +3 crit what

[copper otter]

Haha funny

80% crit rate

[acoustic chasm]

It's not her fault that sync moves have this stupid drawback

[vernal condor]

you only have 40% to crit your 4 syncs

[copper otter]

Too bad

She's the one to blame because she's the one syncing in the first place

[acoustic chasm]

[copper otter]

Haha if i even get to 4 syncs because para chance

Genuinely hate rng runs

[acoustic chasm]

I hate the single target stages for this reason

[copper otter]

I've tried all sorts of combos. This is the only way from what i'm seeing.

[acoustic chasm]

40% is not that b- *cuts to Breathtaking never refreshing*

[clever wasp]

She's saved me repeatedly cuz she was my only good ground for so long

[latent plover]

Finally 1 million. Hugh needs a para proc for me to do the last sync usually

[teal lava]

"Yeah Colress is super good in the Damage Challenge mode, basically required in 3v3 fights"
"Yeah Courtney is the only way you'll get close to 1mil in today's Damage Challenge"

me who doesn't even have Colress or Courtney

[covert geyser]

mfw I forgot super syncer only has 1 use

[plush palm]

how does froxanne perform here

i dont have her

[teal lava]

My only good Ground type is like

Variety Giovanni

That's it

And he's at 2/5

[plush palm]

yeah this is for endgame players

you might be anble make ground zone work but

[teal lava]

Thanks for the blow to my confidence there lmao

[plush palm]

you should go as high as you can w/o expecting to be performing on par w/ people who've been playing longer than you

that's just how it is in any gacha

[teal lava]

Yeah, I've only been playing since 4th anni, but even then

[zinc pecan]

do you have region tix?

[teal lava]

I've beaten every Ultimate Battle

[zinc pecan]

Ubs are just a Master fair test lol

[teal lava]

Can consistently get 15k in CSMM every week

[teal lava]

Nah

[plush palm]

unfortunately ground ends just as hoenn VA event rerun starts

so RIP dude

[teal lava]

Yeah lmao, sucks but eh, it'll come around again

Maybe I'll have Courtney by then

[zinc pecan]

not enough tix for even 3/5 courtney

[teal lava]

Yeah exactly

Like I'm literally only missing 4 gen pools

Hilda, Courtney, Colress, and Tierno

[zinc pecan]

5/5 feels mandatory with the dmg threshold

[scenic grotto]

I have 5/5 Cynthia and max out sync orbs but can only get 360k

[plush palm]

I think DENA just assumes if youre going for 1M youre either a launch player w/ most of your roster EX or a whale

[zinc pecan]

and 1m is not nearly necessary to clean out the shop

[plush palm]

it isnt

[zinc pecan]

the rankings are going to be... interesting lol

[plush palm]

but yknow... efficency efficency

[zinc pecan]

for the titles

[zinc pecan]

i just want all the leon medals when i scroll through the list

[teal lava]

Well, do we know if we get repeat tickets when they eventually circle back?

[dry whale]

When you say cs2 does that mean the 951k score was not using Super Power 3? How relevant was Red's Adrenaline from the grid? How many paralysis did you get? Finally any skill gear used?

[zinc pecan]

haven't missed one yet

[zinc pecan]

they haven't said that they circle back, actually

we just assume

but probably not

[teal lava]

I thought for sure datamine said they repeat

[zinc pecan]

considering the high scores are locked

[plush palm]

who tf knows... TOS states tha tcontent is subject to change at all times and you dont own shit on your account

[cloud timber]

skill gear was +95 or +100 with multiple passive boosts, no sp3

grid adr was very very relevant

[vernal condor]

not, tho idk why

[teal lava]

This is permanent content so I assume once it hits 3v1 Ice it'll circle back to 3v3 Psychic

[vernal condor]

I believe trap anyway makes it take too long

[plush palm]

if DENA wanted to bump the high bar to 2M on a whim they can

[cloud timber]

getting in the last sync is tight as is

[vernal condor]

yeah

[teal lava]

DeNA make Champion Stadium Hard Level 2 Challenge (Impossible)

[vernal condor]

sc steven / bp barry / f roxanne could get a good score I believe, but you might need to leer only twice? dunno if it's worth when accounting for the lack of speed drop

[dry whale]

Ah if that's the case I'll settle with my 915k. To make up for that Adrenaline I would need various paralysis procs to get that sync in time. Only for just slight higher score. Think I'll relax till ghost type.

[cloud timber]

ye

[scenic grotto]

It would be funny if these damage challenge stages are being used to collect data so that DeNA knows what types need better damage dealing units

[clever wasp]

Would love it

Ground clearly needs it

[copper otter]

Terribly, can't even reach 500k

[zinc pecan]

i hate hugh even more than i already did

[copper otter]

[civic island]

Submitted the one I had this morning
#1255888121648644197 message

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

[cloud timber]

if you can get higher than this you at least outperform gladion lol

[frail fulcrum]

This is late but a major factor for steven in this particular battle is he can get the opp to -6 speed. This isnt necessary for courtney, but it does slow his move gauge enough to spam more stun spores

[civic island]

Damn Gadion desperately need expansion

[scenic grotto]

Gladion gets expansion
Instantly able to get at least 500k on every single stage

[cloud timber]

and larry over redlax got 213k with my attempt, didn't really check or reset for sync crits though

it is a little better if gladion remains bad so as to not dull creativity

[clever wasp]

He'll get an expansion when Arceus releases and does his job but better

[cloud tinsel]

thatd be good if i could actually EX Courtney in time 😭

[latent plover]

https://youtu.be/d4Uvd6Qoz8U

+10E Courtney comes in clutch

[zinc pecan]

alright screw whoever said you wanted 3 Leers off Steven

got 1.1 mil with 2 leers

top 50

nobody is doing this lol

[latent plover]

What skill gears you had for this

Cause that is a very high score with only -2 defense

[zinc pecan]

+90 atk, ground s-moves ^ 3%, ground moves ^ 3%

➡️ 💥

goodbye forever courtney, until dena puts ground ST into ranked

[scenic grotto]

Ultimate Damage Challenge support:
Thunder Wave or Stun Spore
Infliction Freebie or Charging Infliction 2
AoE -2 Def, Sp. Def, and Speed debuffs
Omnitype rebuff debuff
Ably to give multiple SEUN to an ally

[zinc pecan]

you forgot sprint/support and sync accel tms

[clever wasp]

Best I made

And I never use these

Also still wonder if skill gear was meant for this but they didn't have this ready when I started

[zinc pecan]

well i have nemona and marnie now, and no hole in my soul from missing a leon medal

probably gladion > wally > hugh next

[covert geyser]

For TM mpr?

[scenic grotto]

You’re right

Ultimate Damage Challenge support:
Thunder Wave or Stun Spore
Infliction Freebie or Charging Infliction 2
AoE -2 Def, Sp. Def, and Speed debuffs
Omnitype rebuff debuff
Ably to give multiple SEUN to an ally
and
Sprint/Support
Sync acceleration

[snow raptor]

[zinc pecan]

should have gone for 150...

[lapis yarrow]

I guess I'm stuck at my crap score with no good gears or lucky skills lol

[civic island]

No, was really generic when introduced
LG/Soloers have been using stats advantages and damage mitigation mostly
HS also was pushing

[zinc pecan]

surely you can spend a few days' worth of stamina on the feather grinding level during an event dead zone

[lapis yarrow]

I should but my luck is awful plus not sure which gears are best

[zinc pecan]

ground/villain/hoenn with high attack values and sync boosts

[lapis yarrow]

Ok thanks! Will good gears get me the 500k+ I'm lacking?

[zinc pecan]

lucky skills and gear are not going to give you 500k, it's a pairs problem at that point

[cursive saddle]

Anyone tried Giovanni and Nidoking 5/5?

One of his sync grid tile has reduce sync by 3 ( either 3 or 1, I can’t recall) from using his Dynamax move

[lapis yarrow]

I'm using the same pairs as one of the comps on the sheet in pins lol same grids too but no head start 1 luxky skills

[scenic grotto]

Current DC supports
Colress: Paralysis with zero gauge use, -2 AoE Def debuff
BP Barry: Paralysis with zero gauge use, support EX
RedLax: Sync Accel, SEUM, support and sprint EX
SC Steven: Rebuff debuff, -2 AoE Def and Speed debuff, SEUM
Larry: Rebuff debuff

[acoustic mango]

Didn’t even give Courtney SP3, pretty happy with this

[scenic grotto]

One possibility
Moves: Cotton Spore and either Thunder Wave (Ampharos) or Stun Spore (Eldegoss, Jumpluff, Roserade, or Whimsicott)
TM: SEUN.
Skill: apply Rebuff debuff of the opponent’s weakness onto opponent the first time a status move is used
Grid: -2 Def on Cotton Spore, -2 Sp. Def on Cotton Spore, Infliction Freebie or Charging Infliction 2, SEUN MPR, Head Start or Adrenaline
Role: Sprint/Support

[devout pelican]

I think this DC is a ploy by DeNA to make sure everyone have a 150 Courtney EX

[orchid crescent]

hope i can scout SC Steven this anni how is he so good 😭

[thick stump]

i literally raised her to 150 for this 💀💀

[queen moth]

Barry is effectively the same unit as Colress right

[plush palm]

no screech

[queen moth]

If Barry lowers defense, is just getting to sync quicker that much more important?

[plush palm]

pretty major difference on some comps

[queen moth]

Like this current one I imagine

[plush palm]

colress lowers def

[devout pelican]

Colress can get to -6 Def

[civic island]

I don't regret getting scLyra from past select but damn scSteven is just too good for physical stages

[plush palm]

-6 is quite significant for squeezing dmg out of courtney

[queen moth]

I just wonder why you'd ever not use Colress over Barry, unless it's strictly an f2p thing

[plush palm]

bc shes gimped by a mega sync

special nukers exist

[queen moth]

But like... Old accounts should have Colress anyways

So is Barry better than Colress if you're using a special nuker?

Because I assume they both strictly do the same function of paralyze spam

[plush palm]

or you have sc steven and dont need colress debuffs

[latent plover]

Barry is better because support EX

[orchid crescent]

no support sync + slightly (very slightly) slower accel

[civic island]

Against 1 for sure

[queen moth]

It's just interesting to see Barry/Courtney/SC Steven do so well considering no smc

[lapis yarrow]

Would Colress, Courtney and SS Elesa work or no?

[queen moth]

Not that Colress has it I'm just curious

[latent plover]

They should work

[latent plover]

I think Akr0 did that so maybe

[civic island]

Sire, isn't that Akr run?

[lapis yarrow]

I'll check it out. I've used his team comps before but never come close to their scores lol

[plush palm]

how are yall getting so many breathtaking mprs

like getting enough redlax mprs is annoying enough w/ 2 MPs

[devout pelican]

BP Barry can also provide SpAtk if the dps cannot buff fully

[civic island]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WCC9MERNiE&t=4s

[feral hamlet]

It sure sucks doing all the damage in the last minute. This is probably good enough though. Better than that one week

[thin wren]

has the peak increased for ground dc

[orchid crescent]

next is triple target ghost???

1/5 ss korrina save me...

[cloud tinsel]

You just gotta realize Elesa's stunning and she'll do the work for you once you finally admit it.

[pallid girder]

If Guzma can achieve 1M I imagine Morty can do it too.
He's also self sufficient and has easy to achieve multipliers.

[rain copper]

yeah except he needs 4 TM MPR to max Blind Spot

[orchid crescent]

unlike guzma, i at least have morty at 3/5 so if a f2p clear is possible i'll be chilling

[rain copper]

[plush palm]

2 TM mpr

grab agile entry

[rain copper]

yeah it's AE2

his TM only gives 1 evasion if no status condition on him

[hushed epoch]

Nice guide

https://fxtwitter.com/t3yd3f/status/1813215802650423316?s=46&t=o9ODgDxvzusAIcsn2_ssvQ

[orchid crescent]

if you give +2E, is this morty's best nuking grid?

[vernal condor]

Replace Speed for atk above the +20 spa

[orchid crescent]

oh yeah lol

[latent plover]

That's probably his best grid yeah

[cloud timber]

also i'd change the +10 spe to phantom force +2

may not matter though

[latent plover]

You aren't gonna use it ever

[crude sandal]

I have mine probably similar to yours
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/14800/42600?s=5&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=13016403&g=AAECAwQFBgkRFBcYGx8hJS4vMDIzNQ

[cloud timber]

after last sync if you can't fit in 2 shadow balls you're using phantom force

[orchid crescent]

if you change the speed +5 to the attack+5 its pretty much the same benefits lol, yours is slightly better because of the extra shadow ball damage i think

[devout pelican]

Can Helena do Ghost ST?

[orchid crescent]

depends on how much time left you have though

since phantom force is gonna be much stronger if the timer doesnt end lol

i wish I had garrdenia for that ghostzone+support sync 😔

[wooden tree]

What’s the Strat?

[cloud timber]

also if you're working with any phys defense debuffs

[pallid girder]

F2P Ghost ST would be Allister

[orchid crescent]

this may be dumb, but would it be worth slapping NC Silver on a Colress Morty team?

for that master passive plus phy circle

no support sync though 💀

[copper otter]

not worth it

[wooden tree]

I suffer so much with the gauge

[icy pendant]

the strat is Barry presses the silly button and Courtney syncs with SEUP every time

[wooden tree]

My stun spore never gets gauge refresh

[icy pendant]

Charging Infliction 2:

[wooden tree]

Can anyone share the Barry grid?

[sacred badger]

essentially, trying to sync with Courtney 4 to 5 times 😭

after BP Barry Sync

[orchid crescent]

does master passive not affect sync moves? it specifies moves.

[sacred badger]

4 times means you can hit 600k to 800k

a 5th time meanss you can hit 1million

[wooden tree]

First sync with Barry?

[sacred badger]

yes

[rain copper]

nope

[sacred badger]

EX Support so its crucial

[orchid crescent]

unfortunate

[rain copper]

even then it's not still worth it compared to zone or SEUN

[sacred badger]

otherwise, Courtney will have potato sync damage 😭

[orchid crescent]

what if i have... neither lol

[rain copper]

💀

[orchid crescent]

1/5 Dana and TM MPR 3 Geeta time

[wooden tree]

Wtf I can’t even do 200k

[icy pendant]

Are you setting up Courtney at all?

[wooden tree]

Yes

[rain copper]

you should watch the video to understand the strat

[wooden tree]

But I. Only get to 2 syncs

[rain copper]

so you are doing wrong

[orchid crescent]

i'll prob run SS Steven, Colress, and Morty/ex'd ss 1/5 korrina (if i dont want to spend ex materials 💀 )

[warped gulch]

Minimum you can do 3 at least

[icy pendant]

getting 4 syncs off is understandable as an RNG issue, 2 means something else is happening and you aren’t fitting in enough moves with para spam

[warped gulch]

2 just wrong

[icy pendant]

ideal with top teams is 5 total syncs, of which one is with the support

6 is probably how you hit 1.3

[rain copper]

Morty nukes harder than 1/5 Korrina

[orchid crescent]

i hate that you're not wrong 💀 even when morty isnt ex'd

[pallid girder]

Another good thing about Morty is you can tank by him and try fish for miss

[cursive saddle]

Colress was not existent for me before dc was created

[orchid crescent]

colress was the goat of aoe defense down (still is for me lol)

[cursive saddle]

Now, I am waiting for LG to come to farm deluxe cookies to give colress head start 1

It hurts not having those deluxe cookies in my inventory

I’m down to 2 super powered effective 3 cookies and I hope I don’t use them for the next 2 weeks

[sacred badger]

i need LG to replenish my lucky cookies index D:

If its Latios again, i'll be farming him until the bitter end xdd

need them Super Powered 3

or Deluxe Cookies if they're not in season

[pallid girder]

I hope next LG can have guaranteed HS1 cookies as the rewards 😦

[wooden tree]

Well I did 500k

I’ll bare with that

What’s the best pair to get first? Haven’t seen the kits

[orchid crescent]

Nemona and Gladion are pretty solid

[sacred badger]

#poma-questions message

I grabbed Nemona first though, so Gladion will be my 2nd pick.

[acoustic mango]

I followed this video: https://youtu.be/d4Uvd6Qoz8U?si=8FoDRGEnPZYN48kD

[languid heart]

Trying to think of some strategies for the current damage challenge, since I can’t do the most optimal one, but I need to ask, does Hoenn Pride (and other master passive effects) affect Sync moves or is it just regular moves?

[lusty galleon]

only regular

[languid heart]

Shoot. So having Maxie doesn’t do great. Will have to keep that in mind.

On the bright side it means I could try and figure out a way to max out Courtney’s damage.

Is there any character that can drop speed extremely fast? Definitely want to avoid needing to spam bulldoze so I can just set up and then sync spam

[rain copper]

you don't need to use Courtney's Bulldoze

[languid heart]

I could do Oleana’s Max move -> venom drench, it might be a little slow.

[rain copper]

check the pins for optimal strat

[languid heart]

…yeah, just realized I’m an idiot and it wouldn’t work if I try and spam para

Where the heck do I get that Barry sync pair

[rain copper]

Battle Point exchange

[languid heart]

…oooh. I see. I don’t think I ever spent much of any of my tickets since I was waiting to see if better options existed

[thin wren]

hlo

[orchid crescent]

500k with non ex'd Courtney

[thin wren]

what's the peak score rn

[orchid crescent]

my second to last sync didnt crit and im too lazy to try to get another run like this 😭

[cursive saddle]

At least 1 million

Minimum 500k as f2p

[thin wren]

I am talking about what's the highest score rn

[orchid crescent]

1,386,628 is 1st place

which is crazy how low it is lmao

[thin wren]

geez, ground is in a bad spot rn

[orchid crescent]

is courtney our best ground nuker even with limited pairs 💀

[thin wren]

I wonder if aoe ghost will also be bad for aoe

[orchid crescent]

nah morty isnt bad

hopefully

and prob sc irida

[thin wren]

St yes. Well some can hit higher but they take long aminations like sand and trap

[cursive saddle]

Tried my best with SS Giovanni

Just needed to do this team once to clear the red notification. Will try later with Courtney

[cloud timber]

ye even non-ex courtney is really good compared to nearly every other option

[orchid crescent]

i have to resist the urge to not ex her because im so low on resources 💀

[cloud timber]

if you are you don't need to yea

[orchid crescent]

i like damage challenge because it humbles me how bad my roster is lmao, but its been a strain on resources

i do kinda wish they would change how long bmove animations take in the mode though

[hoary jungle]

In the courtney/barry/steven strat how does Courtney get to +3 crit

[thin wren]

I only got 860k with Steven Courtney and colress

[thin wren]

barry can buff crit or you can rely on mpr

[cloud timber]

i think most people are using mpr

[robust meteor]

Not sharp entry?

[civic island]

Do you have ncSilver?

[cloud timber]

yea most of the grids i see have tm mpr on and no sharp entry

[robust meteor]

Interesting. Sharp entry is right next to super syncer

[orchid crescent]

i assume its for max attack

[cloud timber]

yea idk if you're working with +4 attack or what

[robust meteor]

Skipping mud's grid uses sharp entry and no tmr refresh

[cloud timber]

if you have equivalent skill gear and you're only looking for 1m then you can run with that

[spark cape]

ngl rika had potential in the team

but her noxious hit is damn annoying

[cloud timber]

you could say it's quite

obnoxious

[spark cape]

i wish i could turn off that passive

[rose basalt]

friendly reminder as someone that took 90 something attempts.just stop after 5

[icy pendant]

bruh crit every sync and SP3 now, think it might actually be time to break out the SCteven strat without a support EX

[rose basalt]

u might also need a bit of luck for para to proc

to stop the moves and animation

[cloud timber]

noxious hit is a grid skill

[stoic crest]

Is this good for this? Please ping

[cloud timber]

ye check clear sheet in the pins, has that team there

[stoic crest]

Oh because I'm lucky to even get 100k

[cloud timber]

found the video?

[stoic crest]

What video?

I can't keep switching pages on mobile without everything crashing

[rain copper]

it's better watch the video first

[devout pelican]

Courtney clear is definitely streamlined. It's all about having good crit and damage roll

[cloud timber]

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

this one has red

[devout pelican]

Though this clear definitely could use more optimised gears

[stoic crest]

Do I need to have Steven ex?

[last stream]

no why would you think you do

[stoic crest]

I didn't think so, just was checking since the video showed him as such

Thanks I'll give this a whirl!

[devout pelican]

Nah, you can even use a level 100 like me

[eternal pecan]

So has anyone gotten 1 mil + with this team? I saw one clear but red was 3/5

Plus my Courtney is still only 4/5 😭

[cloud timber]

i have that with 5/5 courtney and 3/5 red and i still only have 950k

[eternal pecan]

My record is 800k

[cloud timber]

could push but eh

[plush palm]

gotta tweak gear definitely

and hope for a high roll

bc oh boy does the rng annoy me here

[cloud timber]

that one adr1 helps a lot in this comp

[covert geyser]

10% acid

[cloud timber]

for hitting 6 syncs

should still be possible since you can use max health mini potion x1 and synthesis x2 and those could save enough time

but you might need a para proc on top

if you get unlucky with debuffs

(and you want adr1/hs1 on both redlax and bp barry)

[devout pelican]

Maybe getting that para gears are optimum

After all we are gonna spam those

[last stream]

DeNa after checking Ground DC event
"okay let's move our new ground-type tech to this year's anniversary"

[cloud timber]

ye i'm sure they just drove up demand for that a lot if it's something they want to capitalize on

maybe

[cursive saddle]

and make sure it’s Hoenn Anni again

[rain copper]

again? that's not true

[cursive saddle]

Well, we only have Anni Steven

[rain copper]

Hoenn didn't take part in anni roster since... 2 years ago?

just get rid of Kanto

[cursive saddle]

They think Kanto is the biggest fanbase

So they wanna see big revenue from kanto units

Kanto is like Gogeta/Vegito

[eternal pecan]

If they want 💸 then they gotta bring in Arceus

Paid banner exclusive

Though if arceus comes then there’s no point in any other sync pair lol

[civic island]

You can take three gears with opp para sync 5% as third skill and lock those with ever pins
Then reroll feathers, so you'll always have a 15% boost
But it's a weird investment
Good MC/Champion skill gears should be a priority first imo

[eternal pecan]

Dang I just realized I won’t have enough tech coins to EXR SC Iridia for the next damage challenge 😢

[robust meteor]

nooooo, got 981k with Courtney, BP Barry, SC Steven....not sure how I can break 1 mill

I got 5 Courtney syncs in, with SEUN on the last two, and a final Bulldoze as well

[eternal pecan]

Is there any way to get 4 more tech cake coins before the next DC ends?

I think I can only get 3

[unique abyss]

If you don't have tickets from the BR then no

Or daily tickets

[eternal pecan]

Dang rip

Wait

I can get 1 from completing the weekly challenge

1 from daily

And 2 from weekly rotation?

[unique abyss]

How many daily tickets do you currently have?

[eternal pecan]

1

[unique abyss]

Today was support coin, so the next tech coin is in 4 days

[eternal pecan]

Yeah I just realized

So I’ll be 1 short

Sad

[unique abyss]

No, you actually are saved, you can get one BR ticket by completing the next weekly mission

[eternal pecan]

Oh shoot

Your right

[unique abyss]

So you get 1 coin from daily rotation, one from BR ticket exchange and one from daily tickets

And you have one day to do something with irida

[eternal pecan]

Thank you so much lmao

[sacred badger]

wait you can actually get a Cake Coin in the ranked damage challenge

Just need 200,000 pointss for it

[unique abyss]

Lol, is it one reset before DC rotation?

[sacred badger]

on the 22nd, the weekly reset

[unique abyss]

Lmao, I was sure it was in the day of DC change

[safe prawn]

I swear i am never gonna do this again

[sacred badger]

i feel like its going to cycle in like 2 or so months

[safe prawn]

Im going on a 3 days hiatus in 2 months or so

[covert geyser]

have fun in your hiatus

[tiny mist]

not having 3/5 colress is a pain

people have actually gotten 1.5million in this challenge

crazy

[thin wren]

why do the enemies have acid

[dry whale]

I hit the sync with 00:00:30 seconds left and managed to queue a Bulldoze to push me over to the million.

3/5 Red would make this much easier to hit. That extra adrenaline could make or break it depending on paralysis luck.

[thin wren]

ya all are getting para luck?

[tiny mist]

whats the move queue like?

[thin wren]

and gears pls

[dry whale]

Nothing really huge only a 5% for the para

[thin wren]

thx

[tiny mist]

what is ur move pattern like?

luckyskill on red?

[dry whale]

Stun, mini potion, Courtney tm, stun, red lax tm, Courney tm, Red sync , red max move then continue to stun and tm , Barry sync, stun till you need to ground wish then nuke

[tiny mist]

Red has head start?

[dry whale]

Sp3, headstart , headstart

[tiny mist]

tysm

ur red has exrole?

[dry whale]

Yup, absolutely necessary

With 1/5 Red you will need an MP refresh because you use Max Knuckles for the atk boost

[tiny mist]

courtney can max attack with her tm mpr i guess

or u dont do that?

[dry whale]

Nope, I did not run mpr on Courtney

Also pretty sure I needed that sync countdown

[cloud timber]

yea i don't think you should be running tm mpr with redlax since he buffs crit and has max knuckle to top off attack

with super syncer saving the need for a tm use in return

[dry whale]

It did not , I needed 1 mp refresh or the final sync would not have super effective up

Courtney syncs 4 times . You need 1 more because we use Max Knuckles instead of the G max Replenish

[cloud timber]

and you'd need 2 mprs without it?

you always needed 1 mpr

oh

courtney tm mpr is what you don't need

[dry whale]

I said only 1

Yeah , Courtney does not need it

[cloud timber]

yea bad wording

[dry whale]

Point being I think you can hit the million if you put SP3, it is your build and you had better gear than I did and a better Snorlax

[cloud timber]

yea i know i refuse to invest in sp3 or lv 150 tho

[thin wren]

guh , still stuck at 850k. My gears aren't good and I am bad at sync rush unfortunately so this will be my peak

[cloud timber]

but i'm not exactly doing much so i can still throw in attempts anyway

[civic island]

For 2 tickets

[thin wren]

but the satisfying number

[civic island]

Sure but if your resources are low you'll be short on another unit

Also rolls matter the most
And damn in this gamemode are so painful. I gave few more tries for 1M run but rng said no
And when everything aligned: got rafa's on last sync

[restive galleon]

When did rock dc end?

[crude sandal]

Yesterday

[restive galleon]

I missed like 1.5 million pts

[civic island]

Missed the event or just the score?

[plain surge]

What is the max damage one had gotten with Courtney+Colress+Barry?

[restive galleon]

Event

[civic island]

Around 1M

[plain surge]

Am thinking whether to sink candies to colress

[restive galleon]

Oh so -100 gems and 1.5 million points

[plain surge]

I have like 3 tech ready and colress still 1/5

[thin wren]

don't

[civic island]

Oooof
I fear that, twice x week is kinda pressing

[cloud timber]

definitely do not

[thin wren]

I wish dc passed faster so we got to flying st already

[civic island]

[thin wren]

I think I have the optimal units for flying dc at optimal investment

[plain surge]

Guess just need to be patient and hope for general pool pulls then

[thin wren]

will chase be better for flying st dc or a skyla?

[robust meteor]

Omg.. why can't I hit 1 mill... so sad

[thin wren]

gear difference or bad roll luck probably

[left vine]

Oof

[robust meteor]

I don't want to gamble the rest of my lucky cookies getting her SP3...

[civic island]

Rolls are abt 10%

So if ppl are hitting 1M w their best tries it's easy it's that

[robust meteor]

so you're saying I was just a little unlucky?

[cloud timber]

yeah i'll run with this

previous run plus the extra bulldoze i knew i could fit in

[civic island]

Yeah, or maybe you failed the first sync crit
But when you see best odds reaching ~1M, you can usually expect a bit less

And 10% is a big range

[robust meteor]

I see I see. I guess I'll try not to lose sleep over 1 more ticket

I wish I had enough time to get her to +6 PMUN, but don't think that's doable without extreme paralysis luck

[civic island]

I somehow failed to insta queue Bulldoze for a 1M run
Gave up after that

[cloud timber]

rip

[civic island]

Missed 2 tickets, can live with it
And we're not even under LG

[cloud timber]

aye

[civic island]

I'll need compromises

[unborn otter]

No sp3

Is there a video of hs1 bp barry, cs2 courtney, and 3/5 adr1 redlax?

Or just hs1 on barry and 3/5 adr1 ls on redlax

courtney's lucky skill had a 2 after it so it should be cs2

or one of her passives did

[unborn otter]

How is double adr 1 on redlax

From grid and ls

[cloud timber]

yes

[loud cedar]

2 out of 4 syncs didnt crit..

[normal parcel]

Adaman is a striker so isn't optimal for st

Adaman will probably be one of the best options (if not the best for AOE)

[opaque needle]

CS2 go brrr

[loud cedar]

ok gaming

[normal parcel]

Cs2 isn't much weaker than sp3, is more that every bit of extra damage helps, and that if you fail a crit you fail worse with cs2

[thin wren]

aoe foxanne will outclass him

[devout pelican]

I'm officially out of orbs. No more expansion for the time being

[thin wren]

remember when we had 900k orbs

[ivory kestrel]

Ok, after a series of tries, you dont need to use both SC Steven’s TM on Courtney to reach 1M. Just need one TM, and it will give plenty enough time to get to 5th sync and land the last boosted Bulldoze. Several runs without any para proc, so para rng is out of the way. Of course, assuming your Courtney is 5/5, and EX’d, and with SP3. Also all syncs have to crit, and pray for high rolls.

[devout pelican]

I don't suppose SC Adaman is good enough for ST?

It feels like it's just Courtney all out

[crude sandal]

Like I said, why would you use a striker on a ST stage?

[devout pelican]

I'm just under the assumption that limited >>> spotlight damage-wise

[thin wren]

highest I have seen from him is 500k

his nuke doesn't matchup to Courtney, can't fit in ground zone so has 1 less external damage boost and his dps takes too much animation to be worth it

[dire spade]

Got lots of BR medals. What are the best skill feathers for S-Moves boost to exchange? Is the pink one, right?

[tiny mist]

how

With same team max I reach is 500k

i have ex role too

[nova remnant]

I believe that specific comp support syncs twice

[cloud timber]

https://vxtwitter.com/t3yd3f/status/1813215802650423316

[pallid girder]

I'm more shocked that FRoxanne can't do it. A lot of ppl assumed she'd be good in both ST and MT.

[nova remnant]

Her set up is just not optimal for this mode

[left vine]

She just doesn't have enough time to do it

Doesn't matter if you can do a morbillion damage if your setup also takes a morbillion years to finish

[slender venture]

Her huge nuke will compensate against 3 targets for the extra animations, couldn't in single target though

Her sync is still miles above other AoE ground syncs(mainly SCAdaman and Variety Giovanni)

[left vine]

Me waiting for B-Moves to finish:

[slender venture]

I mean just don't do it

There is no reason to use it really

[left vine]

I mean in general

Not specific to this round

[cloud timber]

yea they're still a major disappointment in this mode compared to basically every other mode

[normal parcel]

...Trap...

Ok maybe AOE trap isn't as bad as st trap

[civic island]

Aw finally, my 2 extra tickets

Btw changed pattern of this run and it doesn't require para procs at all
Just one Red TM mpr
https://youtu.be/I4qT-3oTElU

[normal parcel]

Tm MPR was always the best strat for Courtney

With 1 MPR she can max her stats by her own

[civic island]

• just require one Red TMmpr

[cloud timber]

courtney tm mpr is a waste of max knuckle boost and red tm crit imo

[civic island]

The maxmove thing save time

Yeah

Use it at start

[cloud timber]

works if no redlax

[civic island]

Overall is a good time trase

Trade

Because the ran had no para procs, also acid devuffs

[normal parcel]

With MPR you don't max knuckle, you use the g max move

[civic island]

So, profit

[cloud timber]

either way you're fishing for 1 mpr at start and that should be all you need i think

[civic island]

Yup

[normal parcel]

MPR on Courtney is still better because you will get full towering force 1st sync

[civic island]

I've been syncing at +6 aniway

[normal parcel]

But I guess getting more attack from grid may be better in redlax comp

With Steven you definitely want mpr

With red I guess max knuckle can be better if you can afford that attack +20 node instead of the mpr

[cloud timber]

yea the extra grid offense is the real advantage

which isn't a ton so it might not be super meaningful but it's there

[latent plover]

With Redlax mpr isn't needed for +6

[normal parcel]

I mean if you max knuckle, you will still need MPR from red

[civic island]

If the result is the same then is just abt time
