#Damage Challenge

Adept could u ping me in a vid of someone using Gloria Alt?
I see one above nvm
I don’t have Bianca thoo
If anyone can help
could you share grids of this? i'm kinda stuck at 1.1m and want atleast to get a bit more, i would obviously need what you did too , some tips, just saw the video nevermind it.
I get Hop to 3/5 next reset. Just need one more candy
Can you swap out SC Steven for a flying zone setter or Redlax? If you do then you more or less have my clear which has next to no variance in execution
What is the setup with nc rosa there?
in the nc nate + sc steven clear?
Yea, it looks like the master passive is doing work
getting some phsyical move up next with the tm, spamming sing
Does nc nate also need 3/5?
and some tm mprs too
Bc 2/5 is all i havr
I followed this #1255888121648644197 message
it does help, but yea circle doesn't last that long without extension
i even gridded mine haymaker when doing it,there was so much leftover energy and some chip dmg always helps
just got some low rolls though
Hmmm maybe 2/5 can get 1 mil.... was working with this.
The unova boost could be what i'm missing
you can definitely get 1 mil
Im gonna have to consider top 500 is miserable rn
Haven't checked but fairly certain i got kicked out of it
who would have thought that gloria was gonna be the meta for flying st
i was like top 350 last time i checked with only 1.1m, i have to get that to 1.7m-1.8m tmrw surely
For flying or ranked?
cheren is kinda useless for it
I'm referring to ranked rankings
flying although it doesnt matter but i want to be close to the max
Ah
i was like 375 last time i checked too
gotta get that posion stage up
Oof
I'm what you call, the jack of all trades
yeah, still with gloria or diantha you can get good amounts
or even with rei
i got 900k with rei
does anyone have a clear of 3/5 exr anni skyla, 3/5 exr redlax, and bp barry?
honestly st bug and psychic are kinda worrying me, don't know how much sc ingo could do honestly or anni may
bc my olympia and my lucian are 2/5 both so not even trying
Gonna use Lear for psy ST
although i'm hyped for the dmg nate is gonna do on friday
he might even get 5m
but you would have to give up some sync power just to get the extension, you can't even get the sync power up nodes
I’m having trouble getting a last sync in despite sync accel
i sync redlax > bp barry > skyla > skyla
ok so I hit 445k with 2/5 Glorialt, but it was immediately and painfully obvious to me that she desperately wants 3/5 for this clear not just for multipliers but for sync quickening 3
ye
Yeah 3/5 got me 800k with red snorkax and colress
I’m struggling to get 1 mil
Think I’m doin something wrong
glorialt?
Yeah
that's weird, how many times do you sync with her?
Idk exactly how many but I got a good amount in
I’m doing like 130-170k per sync I think
all with seun?
bc i do 2 with seun two without so i can sneak in one more, but i just spam with colress instead of gloria
Ohh u don’t spam bounce?
Thought bounce spam was efficient cuz it reduces sync each time
nah, i do twave spam,
I’ll try that then. Do u ever bounce?
These are all of my characters that know flying-type moves besides Pelliper and bp falkner. From the pins they suggest Fletchling but does anyone see any stronger options?
Super powered 3 +100 special attack and i think it had a 3% buff on sync
so what i do for the first sync is tm twave min potion all before shadow ball if it misses( gloria tanks) i can sneak one more mini potion and then 3 screeches, sync with red, max knuckle max airstream, twave spam sync with gloria, seun twave spam for 2 sync more, then twave spam to get 2 sync mores with some luck, i grid max super preparation though, and even slippery slope
just at the end if i have room
3/5 glorialt goes -3 turns per bounce and is a sure dodge though
i still gotta try that 2m with nc nate and nc rosa tmrw
imagine having to worry about nc cheren
I'm going to really think about all of these techs I want to spend my singular tech candy and see where glorialt fits into that (the LG implications behind flying mode have enticed me a ton)
I would've instantly done it if I didn't only have 1/5 Jacq
also getting SS Hilbert off mix tomorrow so I'm kinda holding candies to instantly 3/5 him
yea i gotta candy ss hilbert but i was candying adaman so he had to wait
the unfortunate thing about damage challenge is all of my techs instantly shot up a ton in value when I was already struggling with tech candy
@lapis yarrow 5 syncs
Now I started to feel the scarcity of tech candies
i've always felt it
Even for AOE, the best option is probably a tech strike if available
hopefully it's only temporary pain while we go through the first cycle right
I was recommended to try 3/5 exr redlax instead of steven but my score is worse because skill issue
or a strike tech if no tech strike
Don't think 3/5 adds much for redlax
Rolex matters
Adrenaline and that's it
Pretty much
However I didn't used redlax at all in flying weak
i'm still wondering if sst red or ss hau will be better for st electric, with sc steven sst red is setted up easily
With paralysis spam adrenaline doesn't saves that much
you would even have seun, you would just need an accelerator
I'm on team Red because my Hau is chilling at 1/5 fwiw
same
can you give it a try?
i even have red with R for lg overkills so it will help ig
It will score less

Steven adds rebuff for skyla
Tomorrow I may try it maybe it will make me sync 1 extra time
i tried but i can't seem to fit in a 3rd skyla sync
But I don't have redlax 3/5
2/5 really only gives you seun mpr so that seems like a really low-value tech candy compared to bailing you out of a type you need help with
i got the candy bundle
To score 1m with Skyla you need to sync 4 times + support ex at the start
i synced 4 times with skyla and got 2 air cutters in too
with Steven right? Mine synced 4 times plus support EX
985k
With skyla
How much did u scored with 4 cheren syncs?
Cheren/Skyla very, very comfortably fires off 4 Cheren syncs
1.15 without a fly at the end, haven't rolled for the para rng for that yet
I scored 1.25 with 3 syncs+ support ex
Ofc
Ah that's why you synced one more time
Personally is better to have 3 strong syncs than 4 weaker ones
I actually think the two routes might end up being equal, you probably have a better margin to b move and fly at the end too
Just b move
if the fly can go through with 6 sync buffs I think that pulls ahead by a lot though
But is a +10 one
Considering that fishing for MPR is really annoying less stronger syncs are more RNG friendly
And even with infinite MPR luck, cheren tm is pretty long
yeah the 3 sync route looks better if I can fire off a tm right before the b move, but my timing was close
My b move was unboosted, there's no time for that even if I get the mpr
Time is pretty tight
yeah I didn't quite clear 1.1m, but with seun on b move that instantly jumps up to 1.25
3/5 is more worth, 2/5 is only good for MPRs
I mean my 1.25 will probs become 1.35 or even 1.4 if I could give seun to the last b move
But there's no time to do so
Expecially with cheren tm that is really slow
You can do it with Steven, but you lose flyng zone
You need at least 5 seconds from applying SEUN for it to give enough time for the buff
I think cheren tm takes more than 5 secs
oh hold on a second
I just mean sc steven
I think I can get to 4 Cheren syncs with the max cakewalk route
3 syncs with max cakewalk, but I'm talking about skyla Barry comp
I guess Steven could get 4 but without flying zone
nah I think 4 with flying zone and max cakewalk is possible
barry just needs to be paralyzed 3-4 times
Probably you can't land the final b move
that's why I'm thinking closer to 4 is required
Cheren sync wastes a bit of time with pmun smun stacks so even if you quad queue if you don't have some time left your b move won't get used
Even with insane paralysis luck I don't think you can get a whole extra sync (even using cheren tm that wastes a lot of time) and spare time to start b bleak
There's no way to get max cakewalk, seun on syncs and fly zone with 4 cheren syncs
That's why it can't score that high despite his sync is really strong, it just wastes too much time doing anything
Even syncing with him wastes time
Using his tm wastes a lot of time
Attacking to debuff speed wastes a lot of time
you would need to shave just more than two sprint EXs worth of time in paralysis procs, just did some rough math with it
however just about every Cheren clear can 1.1-1.2 really easily
Yes 1m shouldn't be that hard I think you just need 1 MPR
SST Red will definitely be better for 3v1 Electric, SS Hau - for 3v3 IMO.
Ash and especially NC Blue are both out of a job for optimal best teams though
Not using mpr definitely saves time
His trainer move is really slow, however you really want those extra pmun stacks early on
An I guess without mpr the last b move won't be at +10
You don't even want to touch that, regen to all allies 
nope I got to +10/+10 really easily
oh wait ... SST Reds TM gives the whole team regen, thats so BAD. Might actually make him unusable since there is no other way to get him to +6 Atk.
F
only 9 ticks of healing for your spammer though
might be better to just force your way through it
evasion + adrenaline on grid huh
take turbo charge and you might not need barry at all
or just use him for support ex idk
NC blue isn't the best unit for s speedrun
seems most supports that arent BP Barry or Redlax aren't
His setup is pretty fast, and his sync damage is insane, so I guess if you time well your Regen it should still work well
Don't know how much time it wastes to get the whole Regen for your spammer
its around ~8-9 moves until it dissapears
However Regen doesn't trigger for TMs so I guess your second unit may be fine
How much time Regen adds?
8
I think sst red wants SC steven
SST Reds max move does -3, so that makes up for some of the time lost to regen .. might be ok in the end for 3v1 electric
Probably say red Barry Steven will be the comp
Hau will be better for AOE, but I think b electroweb is quite slow
I think hau is in a cheren like position where it has a strong nuke but slow setup
SST Red also has the same Cakewalk multiplier and also needs -6 speed to max out, he is in the same situation as SS Hau.
For both of them you would likely need to use stevens b-move 3 times
At this point I think ash may be better even without tech, his sync is respectable and easy to setup his tm gives seun and it can still unleash an insane b move as a finisher
Sst red is physical, so Steven covers defense and speed drops
Hau is special
honestly sst red aint worth the effort of getting cakewalk up w/o steven
i dont have him
I was talking about best comp
SS Hau also covers his own cakewalk.. and wait what he has dodge on grid at 3/5
im sticking w/ the good old vkris evasion shenanigans
Ofc without Steven red setup becomes a bit akward
However red still has haymaker compared to hau's whimsical sync 5
Hau has less multipliers and worse set-up (and is special), so most likely SST Red will end up being better for 3v1 after all, even with the wasted time
Ash is an ok alternative for 3v3, but I dont see him outdamaging caked Hau.
Overall Electric will probably have lesser scores (in both 3v3 and 3v1) than several other types
And static shock 3 too
red's terrain lasts for a year right? so no need to run hau alongside him for super mega extension
Red terrain lasts the whole match
Even without exr, if you use electric terrain just before 1st red sync after support ex it should still last the whole battle
Exr saves the animation of electric terrain however
rafa moment
yea just bounce
wait that's not even rafa is it
Nup
bunch of people have done the solo 1m
Hexxa you haven't heard of the Gloria bunny solo?
man if only we had a flying support/field...
Yeah she's going to be great
CElesa with Power play at 5/5 
what's the highest flying dc score so far?
rank 1 is 2.8 million
btw we know that Nate will be the best in dragon dc but what about the second and third best options
do we know their team?
I think Nate might be required for that much score
Nate, Rosa, Bianca probably?
Rosa spams sing, Nate and Bianca both have circles and Nate's sync is also boosted by them
after nate will probably be serena & zygarde
for damage it's Zerena and then... Cyrus?
Probably SS Cynthia and Lance
i think lance and dragonite has more multipliers than cyrus but i dont remember
Cyrus has innate CS9
You'd want to sync spam and these two are stronger
i think cs9 is the only thing he has
Doesn't matter. Lance is somewhat close to Zerena level
double critastrophe 2 as well
SS Cynthia too
dont have cynthia so not sure on that one
both of them only have one multiplier though
If Steveland eventually gets support role cake, he will be better than snorlax in 99% of situations
He already ahead in 90%
Sorry for the late reply but do you have a video of this run by chance or could dm me your strat and grids?
Others gave move by move recommendations to me early today
Cyrus got nerfed sync but always critting is kinda nice, he'll be a great f2p option
I am talking about the dps options after Nate , not his comp members
seems like it'll be Nate, gap, Zerena, gap, everything else
how strong is zerena sync in terms of multipliers. Ik she has high special attack but her sync multipliers are also important
brainpower + power hold 5
not the best because she has a mega but
she has support ex role so that makes up for it
We just miss Kalos circle
slow setup at 3 turns but sc steven can apply the restrain at least
Nate is kinda OP bcs of insanely strong circles and teammates
I wonder how huge of a gap nate will have
i wouldn't be surprised if iris and hydreigon got a super high score as well
even in 3v3
he also has a very strong sync for a striker and compresses zone and his nuclear b move which doesn't lose him much time cuz accel. He's the opposite of rosa when it comes to being built for dc ngl
how strong is her sync?powerplay is a little annoying to set up
powerplay + devastation + pecking order
iris and hydreigon is one of the strongest nukers in the game
Nop
zerena has the usual 250-300 BP sync
i wouldnt be surprised if a juiced iris and hydreigon was competitive or better than serena and zygarde
like 5/5 and insane gears
that's counting her inate right?it looks annoying to setup tbh if you also want dragon zone
Ye EXR is damn good
field exr gives almost the same value as zerena's support cake for dc imo
he can afford seun or bianca because he supplies zone himself
For cIris ncLeaf could be a good fix
Just like on ssrCynthia
oh right nc leaf exists
still, that means no dragon zone
if only she could fullfill her requirements quickly and easily
I'd reckon nc Nate would go with her very well
stacked circle+ zone
if you're stacking iris and nate then why not just go all in on nate
because iris deserves to do something after being shafted so much
1/5 nate doesn't really want to sync beyond first zone set though
Zerena, after that you fall off hard
probably wrong but could ryuki unironically keep up with zerena
he has tech strike sync
and easy multipliers
he also has dd9
oh maybe idk i dont have that unit
It's one of the lowest priorities tbh
I could see it but 3/5 EXR Ryuki isn't as abundant as you'd expect for being a genpool
is his sync that much weaker than zerena?ik he doesn't have soften up so he's gonna be worse usually but still
His sync is a bit stronger bcs of tech, he's also very easy to setup
What is the best approach for flying? Please ping me
with or without further investment
literally only+6 spa
But not worth a cake
He's just relying on DD9 that means it kinda sucks for everything else
Plus still have Lucas cIris Raihan btLeon missing their cake
can you show move level on glorialt2 as well?
What pair is that?
still, I am asking if he's theoretically better than zerena
Yes
Gloria & Cinderace (fire base but three different types)
Oh I don't have her ☹️
probably just Cheren/Skyla/BP Barry, that can hit 700k with your move levels
Cheren has the world's most consistent 1.1 millions at 3/5 but most of his damage comes from his last B move anyways
Anniversary Skyla?
yes you need zone
if Barry isn't EX then use Colress instead to max Unova master passives
Why does Barry need to be ex?
support buff
Been trying everything in my power to push
but oooof
is it bad that my first thought was ss hau
No, same
My first ones were pal Serena and f.roxanne
Tried this but got 600k, everyone is 3/5, and idk if it's better to use colress or Barry instead
charging infliction on sing is a double edged sword
3/5 glorialt?
Si
just cycle bounces with gloria tanking
bounces on flying type?
yep
oh I can't read
my brain is still on Barry stage
1.2m
now that I know the weakness type, I assume you get +6 evasiveness?
Yes
with bianca
At the beginning
Maybe I don't touch b move on bianca and focus on SS instead?
mm maybe, max move gets you the same -2 rebuff for free
Wait i didn't notice if rosa sets rebuff on sync
cause thats automatic -3
Even if it doesn't make much difference
it doesn't read like she should but hey I thought you were on Barry despite clearly showing Hop earlier
It's blurry I blame myself
Just outside top 100 😞
I'll be tempted to candy Steveland if I am close on last day
That's the best I could do
Too many bounce misses and sync crits needed for higher
How many syncs is possible. 6 total? I only had 5
I can
Is it better to use 2 B Moves or 1 B Move and 3 regular moves for Galar Zapdos? Obviously more normal moves means less TW spam with colress
And I don't want to use TM MPR for bianca right?
Does the ranked event have its own thread or do we just talk about it here as well?
here
I wasn't sure if B Move lasted more or less time than 3 regular moves
And extra attacks hoping for virzion to flinch enemy is a waste too?
With the next area being triple dragon, I assume red lax with Serena and Nate?
Since it's the same as the battle challenge but without 80% reduction right?
Please ping me
this was posted earlier: scSteven ncRosa ncNate
#1255888121648644197 message
I imagine ncNate's sync will only add to it.
ssSerena I imagine can do well with thunderwave spam.
There was an SS Serena Lucas trio that I'm trying to find but to no avail
What do you mean thunder wave spam for Serena?
She doesn't have that
i just mean the typical barry/colress spam strat
Ah gotcha
Maybe Nate EXR with ssSerena is an option
unless you don't have both
I don't have nate
So I have lots of options for this one
I got 315k using this
In the challenge
Surely with a better support and no reduction in sync damage it will be much higher
I'm struggling to pass 50k on these damage challenges, who should I focus on the current flying type challenge?
But if I have Nate and Serena, both caked who should sync first?
Serena for support or nate for field role?
With SS Elesa?

#1255888121648644197 message
Quite a bad day for F2P units as there aren't many good flying nukers out there with sync multipliers that are easy to set up. Much as I like physical sync nukers more, BP Falkner has to be the main damage dealer of choice due to his hugh sync (on-type), as well as accuracy drops helping with dodging thus saving more time. Falkner also reduces s...
This mode pretty much comes down to some version of sync move spam
Ticket Barry and colress are your friends
Red/Snorlax if you have him too
I was able to get ~200k with a non-ex lodge skyla
I think you can improve a lot
For Hop:
Get rid of ncBianca, put Barry, you need to turn skip with stun spore in order to sync faster and use ncHop bmove
Wally:
Try ncBianca instead of Bede, the two circles and master passives stacking are quite powerful
Are ssSerena or ncNate caked?
You cam get to 1M, no doubt 
Can I also have some help with this event? I'm lacking NC Bianca and Hop as well as any poison unit practically
Should I be using SC steven over Redlax?
Do you have Riley?
The fighting score can go around 400k with Rei, Riley and NC Rosa
I do have Riley. What's the strat there? Am I syncing with Rei or Riley? My Riley isn't caked idt but Rei is
you can try this with SS serena
#1255888121648644197 message
#1255888121648644197 message
Ok!
First sync with Rosa
Then Riley sync
Then Rei sync
Rei's sync again
Then Riley's Max move
Then Rei sync again
I did that because all of those things gave me a -3 sync countdown
Gotcha, I'll give that a try
I think it was something lke that
Forgot about eleSSa. Lemme try this
When you use Rosa's relic song, if it gives +2 attack buffs then it will be awesome! As both Rei and Riley can reach +4 by themselves
And spam Rosa's sing after her sync
And yeah one more thing, you have to replace Colress anyways so put him with Geeta and drop BP Barry there!
His defence debuffs will come in handy
You brob didn't do anything wrong. It's the nature of striker sync being low in ST DC.
Is NC Cheren better than Skyla there?
Would prob be better. You can just try.
Don't do Scratch btw. NC Cheren doesn't need it.
What'd be the best grid for nate against wally in the dc event? I have him +10 energy, was thinking something like this if sync damage is reduced
doesn't look like there'd be anything worth switching (i don't have him)
maybe attack tile instead of scale shot but idk how much you're using that
probably already have the right idea
I have 3/5 nc cheren (caked too)
Can anyone suggest the best unit to pair with him and the grid too for high score event (need 1M damage🥲)?!
3M! 
You can check the pins for documented runs while waiting for others' response
Where to check it?!
+pins
Thank you
i don't even wanna touch marnie with like a 10 foot pole lol my poison roster sucks
Who the MVP for the Barry battle?
Gloria alt 2
Don't have her. Don't have NC Cheren either
There’s a 1M clear with Anni Skyla
well then
tweaked my gear and probably got some high rolls and some full paras
the extra 8% is huge
i think you might be better off running darach than skyla
Man this event really shows how useless 1/5 fair units are
they're not useless, different units for different modes
Whole battle to do 2 sync moves. I have no faith in making even 500k for this one...
gl dude
500k is rough for bp falkner and he has way less setup to manage
went to 470k and so did akr0
this one just sucks
unless glorialt/nc cheren/anni skyla 3/5+
I got a 3/5 NC Cheren at level 150 and still can't get that 1m
Do I need to give him a cake?
I don't get what I'm missing. If he always crit he shouldn't be missing this much damage 
strat seems to be saving your seun for the last +10 smun b-move
idk if you're doing that already
Can't even toss in some last minute Brave Birds because he kills himself
Yeah, I considered that, and also getting two 30% proc Speed debuff
What a sham. I should have been redeeming my second unit by now. Might just call it here unless a better strat is figured out
Eh, what are the top 5 flying pairs in use for the flying challenge
Cuz I'm sure my pairs are bad
compared to the rest
It just looks like if you don't have 1 of 2 units, you're not seeing 500k
What are these 1 of 2 units?
Gloria alt2 and NC Cheren
Now the 2 must have units for the previous challenges?
You can do a bit more if you have Chase.
When you queue up buddy move at 1.28 sec but you don't even get it 
If you only sync twice w Darach you're somehow doing it wrong.
Not enough time
Second sync comes out at like 45 seconds remaining and there isn't enough time to queue up the next one
Yes. Trading moves with the opponent is so slow
I hate this challenge sometimes
Especially when I don't have the pairs needed to get a high score
30 seconds should leave you pretty safe to get in a full sync cycle worth of stun spore/twaves
even with a few long enemy animations
30 is definitely not "pretty safe". It still takes a ton of luck to pull it off. 45 would be safer but not reliable from what I've seen
even in your last recording you shared you're able to fit in multiple syncs within 30 seconds each
If you are doing it right you shouldn't trade 1 for 1 for most of the battle
It hasn't seemed as generous in this round
I could try to record a run again but I don't have high hopes for this
Zygarde doesn’t have the reduced sync power, it’s different from megas
I'm not getting 1 million
Has anyone tried klaea on poison ?
This event is insane
I'm still scratching my head on how I still not able to do 1m on Cheren even if I follow things down to a T. And why the hell the damage still fluctuates, when I am guaranteed crit?
Bah, this doesn't make sense 
Variance, you'll get used to it
I'm used to it
Surely the 95% - 105% won't be that huge, right?
You'll be surprised
Especially with the damage dealt is in the hundred thousands range
I've faced damage variance where the difference can literally be 20 billion or more in one game I play
i have hit anywhere from 890k to 1m on the same anni skyla setup
its wild and annoying asf
So you not only have to face MPR RNG, but also variance hell
Is this assuming you used G-Max Replenish?
And if you're aiming for highest score, many comp relies on evasion/paralysis luck
The whole DC is both roster check and luck check lol
Also miss luck too
ehhhhhhhhh
The thing is there is no MPR hell in this run. It's just the game denying me a 1m even with 150 3/5 Cheren. Do I need to feed him a cake? 
At this point might as well just give 2 candies to Skyla and dunk it
Striker Cake gives massive spatk stat, so yes it'll definitely help
Nothing can save my poison run
I should be able to hit 500k but somehow it's not coming through for me
Good sync dmg gear is mandatory
Clear: (0:00)
Lucky Skills and Grid: (2:20)
Skill Gear: (2:34)
How on Hop? Yet another NC Bianca showcase?
3/5 nc hop, likely with nc bianca and colress
Here's a run. Still a better score than before. But I don't get the move advantage until it's too late. What am I still doing fundamentally wrong that's denying me double the points?
https://streamable.com/w8o4a4
don't want to be performing any actions under gradual healing
so use the tm only after doing everything else with darach
doing the rest of his setup
max knuckle will take you to +5 atk without needing to grid and fish for tm mpr
though in return you get one less free tm for redlax
still manageable
out of cookies for cs2?
Grid for weight down and demobilize and ignore MPR, use tm at the end you can avoid defog, max knuckle with red
ye i'd have used this grid if i was working with darach
not sure why you have sentry entry on this comp
Or maybe you can screech less if you want to defog, whatever works in the given time
Also use MAX knuckle turn 1 before every other moves you can quad queue Red's mini potion right before the opponent move
Alright, I'll check that out. Seems like some good suggestions
I had the feeling that if you max move just after or before a sync it saves a bit of time, but I'm not 100% sure
shouldn't matter
I think I had this feeling back in time trial
Don't know if it was really a thing back there
Try f2p team, Zinnia EX + Mega is running rn so i used her
Next is dragon triple, hope this thine I have really the best unit for it (NC Nate) and that this time the best unit won't be something like 5/5 SS Cynthia
Don't think there's a non base dragon with a dragon sync right?
(excluding gladion ofc)
cynthia is not overtaking nate lol
Nate would be one and only king in 3v3. Even Zerena can't compete.
wrong reply? thats a barry dude
Sorry. Deleted.
its ok lol
I noticed you don't have HS1 on Colress. If you don't have purple cookies left, you can roll stalwart on Colress and tank by him.
The opponent debuffs spdef occasionally and it always wastes time.
I can put HS1 on him now problem
and involves lots of throwing your phone across the room bc your last syncs aint critting
those 80%s do hurt a lot
I can't get field EX so welp lol
i already get 3 syncs with Ethan on this
with a lot of red mp refreshes too
Any darach clear?
haven't seen any successes with darach here
Ohk
I know, but I never expected Gloria alt 2 to overtake cheren (however I always forget she exists since I don't have her and doesn't pop up when you search for flying)
I tried it and yeah
Ethan won't do much without exr, just use darach or lodge Serena
I guess darach with more optimization could score more
Like are u using tm MPR? Or max knuckle?
Afaik LSerena is better if having SC Steven, but worse in Red/Colress team.
Yes Serena wants Steven because her setup is quite slow
Darach wants red because of crit
Can we ask about team comps for this here or does this event have a different channel?
Still here
basically hitting 1m on wally requires nate. Otherwise your best options are zerena and ss cynthia. use lucas if you have him
Requires Nate and a spare spammer
Hop bianca and barry
Rosa can spam effectively against hop?
Maybe I could try it and see if I can improve my dragon score by freeing up corless
I have Zerena and Lucas.
For Marnie I have Oleana and Greeta
For Hop I have NC Bianca, Aura Cynthia, SP Diantha, and of course Riley.
Idk who i should reserve snorlax/Barry/Colress for etc.
I think w skill gear and lucky dmg roll Darach can do 600k, but Im tired to try.
Hello, can someone help me about how to effectively use NC Cheren (including assisting sync pairs) for Damage Challenge?
looks like youre set. congrats
you can def hit around 700k vs hop w/ bianca / SC diantha / barry or colress
dont bother w/ riley
The document in the pins have a team for NC Cheren!
You can find the effective grid and video in that document itself!
Okay. Is Diantha syncing or is Bianca?
I guess I’ll use Colress for his defense drops, Snorlax in the dragon team, and that leaves Barry for the poison team. Does that sound optimal to you?
Nate >> SS Serena/SS Cynthia > rest (Lance ?)
sync once w/ exr bianca. tho ofc it aint worth syncing w/ her if not caked
Quick what does more damage Bianca Sacred sword (With Fighting zone and unova circle)
Or NCHop BMove with same conditions?
Sacred Sword has 99 to 118 base power, so Hop is almost certainly stronger

I see, thank you!
Did we only have 2 scores at 4+ Mil so far (SS Hilbert for Bug 3v3 and Renegade Cynthia for Ghost 3v3)? Or was there more?
Also does anyone have screenshot/video of the 4M Bug clear with SS Hilbert?
I pushed my score a bit and I can't find any neighbors that I actually know
If I candy Oleana I get top 100

yea from the perspective of someone having and using ss cynthia
she does have brainpower and static shock for her sync when that becomes usable
but that's mainly it
Static shock generally is a free multiplier in dc
Improved my ranked a bit
it's decent, but not enough to bring her up to par with nate imo
Yes I know, and Nate has the b move too, it was more a reference to Gloria alt2 popping out of nowhere
ye
hlo
unironically ryuki>ss Serena
pretty sure ryuki syncs harder
and his multipliers are literally just get +6 special attack and be on type
oh yeah Ryuki .. I kinda forgot about him lol
I guess then Nate > Ryuki > SS Serena/SS Cynthia > Lance > Cyrus > rest
*nate>>>ryuki
Nate blows every dragon out of the water for dc
Lucas with Strike role would be > Nate 
Nate still syncs harder lmao
No, he wont outsync Lucas. for 3v1 Dragon Lucas will be King, not nate
cuz they have equal multipliers and lucas has d zone for 1 more early sync but nate had colress
Lucas has 270% total sync
tech ex, inate,inertia and brain sync 2
Nate has speedster sync 5, circle 90% sync up,haymaker and 30% from circle
(nate also has final 10 pmun b nuke)
I found that Serene still out nuke him tho
oh, send calcs
both have+270% but Nate also gets -6 def from colress
special attack difference makes up for the 40%?
*90%
Lucas is Tech, a Striker cant catch up for ST damage
x1.5 from Tech sync, x2 from innate multiplier (innate multiplier is separate, it boosts the base sync bp) and a total of 180% sync multipliers (Inertia + 20% + 40% + CS2)
oh yeah and Lucas even has Super Command 4 lol
100% Lucas will be the best in 3v1 dragon
mmk hit 5 mil lol
i think the rest of the points are from optimized skill gear and 5/5 dps units
nate can match the seun with redlax
yk what, lemme do calcs
also realized that swapping larry out of larry/barry/a.skyla and putting in 1/5 alt gloria makes a huge difference
Just wait until 3vs3 release tho
not 1m difference, but just below 900k is acceptable
We are discussing st
ofc nate will destroy everything in aoe
oh wait Lucas has draconic sync 4? then nvm he will be better for st
Provided she gets that exr
Dena: let's release new Dragon tech that can deal higher sync dmg than all the units right now and ignore the fact that Dragon lacks support
she's getting sprint lol
Ewww
leaf will be required for her right? otherwise nate could have gone with her
her strongest move is st and she's got reduction on her TM
likely for hassel btw
Probably yeah. Nate + Leaf + Iris will be super strong
where sync spam
What are the best teams that people are using for regular dc single target flying?
Cheren Colress Red as usual?
glorialr
What
i wonder if he'll get glaive rush and what that'd look like
Gloria is really stronger than Cheren
gloria cindrace gets the most
Gloria Alt 2, Nate and Rosa crossed 2 million
Wow
at 3/5 she has super fast reduction
NATE W
and it's refreshable
nate appearing in every dc this month
*week
on the dragon stage? or barry flying
Barry
@mossy adder I found out that you can hit 900k w/ SP3 on this comp. Might be able to spare you a barry / colress
ah
@mossy adder sync order is bianca > cynthia > 2x diantha. dont bother using dianth for dps till the end
i can def get another ~400k out of my teams but it'd mean suffering through refresh hell
not fun
I think so
she'll probably break 1m
I first tried with Nate/Red, but reset for Red’s Tm mpr sucks so i change to Rosa and make her Bounce hit like a truck 
She'll be very useful with Nate boosting her
although the debuffs...
I might try something similar but using Bianca instead
She prob can't use Nate. She needs quick atk/spatk debuff.
alt. iris sync setup is slow and her self-buffs are mid too. She is usable for 3v1, but thats it
I would not be surprised if Ryuki beats her score
But for 5/5 Gloria Flying Zone definitely better
you just don't have room for debuffs+circle+iris+sync rusher at that point
nate is finally showing his value
maybe nate can try getting a haircut next
his haircut ain't bad
3 good dcs this week and next hse is ground dragon
Mostly bc 2/5 Anni Skyla cant maintain her Zone for all Gloria’s Sync which is suck tho

And -6 Def + Circle strong than Flying Zone alone
don't want to give him candies but do want to be in the top 20
grah
5/5 sucks
Yeah that's the issue with Skyla
Just give Lucas a Strike role and Nate will dissapear 
he's getting field lol
I tried zone but I got higher score ditching it
I think that maybe the only one left with some room of improvement with my current roster is wally
I have him but only 1/5
might be worth it to swap to
geeta/barry/red
rosa/steven/nate
bianca/hop/colress
Bianca hop corless scores less
I'm amazed that ream can do 800k. Strikers don't do that high in ST in general.
she's got some sync buffs upstairs in her grid
Geeta needs Steven to get 1m
you could make up ~500k from that dragon team
I keep pushinggggg
I can go even furtherrrrrr
But poison is poisoning me 
although if you're relying on geeta move damage that's unfamiliar territory
Final b move hits like an extra sync at +10
I have 3.2 million from just Dragon and Fighting lol.
Fighting can get like over 2m if you have 3/5 NC hop
i have 3.6 but i need to button up and try harder on dragon
yeah i got 2.2 with hop
Bianca can't reach 1m with hampered dps
no sadly
She can In unranked (barely)
i need to decide if this is the event i'm saving 8 candies for or not
Don't want to use the candies just for this event
even worse here when i need to go from 3/5>5/5 for points :<
full rewards is the 1st place title :3c
I just want to see how far I can push my current roster at my current investment
Without 3/5 hop and 5/5 oleana there's no way I could compete for top scores
I pushed both Dragon and fighting beyond what i had already, just poison truly is bad
Who?
Poison I don't think can get over the 1m mark
I can't get to 500k even though it's possible for me 
I already score more then this guy wat you show pic
Different team ?
Yes
Noice
Expecially since we have to decide where to use Steven, where to use redlax and where to use other stuffs
Since no idea how it work
3/5 oleana is suitable and 4/5 is the last useful node
might have to be 5/5 to afford it tho
i've gotten to a place where bp barry is unused shockingly
Ah yes the venom drench twofer9 is bugged
He scored 2.2m with that team
Adam Help me make 1million on poison without 3/5 Oleana 
When?
Rn
High poison was 2.18m
He only share his thought tho
Bc he cant compete this DC rank bc lacks of Nc Hop
So you can ask him help me:)
I asked already and he only said good luck with Play Rough dodge
This how event work 1 unit miss no score

What's the highest score in this ranked hop fight without 3/5 NC hop?
More than miss even uninvested
What's your stage scores, Adam?
3 million Poison
1 million Dragon
3 million Fighting? 
Poison just eats too much time
I show when event end
2m is def feasible
I have hopes and dreams
are you resetting for max damage rolls too?
I think I already pushed for that
Fighting and Dragon
That is
My poison though
I am not getting lucky at all
I saw Pykuo's 500k run
But it's not coming through
For me
Even though my initial cycle is faster
Ngl I'll take this
Ehhhhhhhh
I ll try
But I won't sync her
Or will I have to
Idk
I hate poison
-
I dont see this team much so here...
tysm!
Poison is realy hard stage
Also you can see my SS Roxie did 270k dmg at 1/5
Bug was triple iirc
270k + 52k already give you free 322k tho
Let me see maybe I can do better than my current run
For dragon I don't know if is worth getting some nuke multiplier or just invest in b move BP nodes and attack nodes
@true locust do you like nate even more now
used +2 on diantha to grab TM mpr. Hs1 on ssa , SP3 on diantha , CS2 on bianca
reset till you get a opening TM MPR and a para first round
same because he's a fellow 5/5 nc nate member
Man the damage on her nuke is insane
nate's sync, funnily enough, hits for 60k -100k in this event so haymaker is worth it
he only has 1 extension and 1 dps node anyways
and colress debuffs defences
and rushes so you never click scale shot anyways
so you have enough spare energy for Haymaker
I was thinking if I should ditch the BP nodes for b move and get stuffs like speedster or circle sync 9
I picked haymaker
what's your dragon score
1.1 mil lol
ahh
I don't have many optimal units for other stages
no offense but i have higher not worrying abt his sync lol
Is worth using b move before support ex or it wastes time
pyukuo got 1.3 mil with haymaker iirc
i have 1.4
what's the grid?
i'll check his grid and see what's up
extension, moves ^ 3, sync move ^ 9, one sync tile
oh you still picked sync stuff
yeah just not haymaker
I was arguing for picking at least something related to sync
i mean i could with a 4/5 unlock lol
if you have sync orb unlocks on him you can grab everything minus one sync tile
at 5/5
Tbh I have 1m score with 2/5 Nate
So you pretty much don't need scale shot whatsoever
Or even extension
If you time everything right
You go boom
I did use the speedster sync node tho
yeh, gonna use this to see if I can get more
god dammit why cant skill gears ever behave
i always get sync buffs on nate pieces and move buffs on oleana pieces
I think adas probably used this grid or something similar
that's mine minus speedster's and haymaker
- sync tile
wanna see what I got in 6 green feathers
in my first ever gearing
i have a few cracked pieces, completing sets is just pain
I began skill gearing recently. I stocked up on 12 pins so I have 1 complete set for dc and 1 set I am building for move damage and one for regular stuff
trick was really helpful for my damage gear set btw. Thanks
Why the circle sync over haymaker?
Doesn't costs more energy to get that for a lower bonus?
M @stoic crest always sync with support role first, especially for zygarde who gets more stats and damage by syncing
You want zone later in fight when you have more sync tiles earned
Haymaker is next to circle moves 3 multiplier, circle sync 9 is after a bunch of useless tiles
Can confirm, 3 mil is top 500 atm and still increasing

Somehow i never realized i have a noncaked Oleana and is still getting 1 mil points.
3/5 NC hop havers inflated the leaderboard
I hit just over 4mil and it still wasn't top 100 😞
Imagine if the galar birds had their cake roles
I mean ….. that exactly same as me lol
I can't even cake anyone else until the event is over. Guess i'm gonna be druck with top 1000.
Ew non-shiny title
Despite me loving the color,
Gloria alt is everywhere
I could probably go higher if i get lucky with 3 mprs on Geeta's TM
I guess she's the second best fighting type nuker after NC hop
Fighting doesn't have lots of techs
Me stuck syncing with NC bianca
Immagine dojo Gloria being a fighting nuker

There are literally just 3 tech ex fighting type nukers (hop, diantha, and Gloria alt2) and gloria isn't even classified as fighting type (just matter for skill gear, type skill and high score event I suppose)
I just now realize that my skill gear with fly zone S-move 4% and Flying move 4% with the Rival skill theme didn't work on Cheren...
the heck I thought he was a rival

Sprints can become nukers too if given enough sync multiplier. Rei and Riley are unfortunaely not the kind.
When I save anni may for main character boost in rally and then I realize she isn't main character
The only unit wat i like is in my profile pic😘
Nate is good and its all about it. Could be way better . Scale shoot make him only good.
Is Steven needed for this or could I replace him with SS elesa?
Screw this DC. I'm not doing it anymore 
For DC scale shot doesn't even matter because generally you don't touch your DPS unless is a strong AOE move
Back then I remember resetting for a whole hour to get just 1 mpr
I think I had to reset like 50 times
Mpr2 on 1mp moves is really annoying
Got a better score with this, thanks! Just need to get lucky with para (also I missed applying SEUN on Anni Skyla's first sync)
it would be fine if she wasnt laughing like an idiot
Yeah, I need one or two paras so I can weave a SEUN and Flying Zone on her final sync
i officially have no clue how i fit an extra sync in last night
3/5 Oleana does the job
I found out something interesting
I was doing wrong
Because double circles yeah?
And master fair passives
Ouf
I guess he's just relying on pure bounce nothing else
Bounce bounce bounce nuke
Repeat
Would kinda shave off time too
So 2MF Passive + Circle just make Bounce hits like a truck
Only have to setup the circles once again or something
I don't even remember my score for Barry stage
With 3 Sync buffs 1 Bounce is higher than 50k
Wouldn't double circles be even better than having NC Rosa?
Holy
i fear double circle is slow af
But 1.8m bruda
They only click it three times. Rest is Gloria bouncing
Oui oui
Bianca also reduces defenses super easily
Pykuo
Laugh at my attempt
Not like Nate that i need to pray for 30% for 5 hits
Rosa’s Mpr is a important one sadly
Ye
+6 speed and + 9 SMUN
Would Roxie do better sync damage than Oleana?
I remember you saying no
But at this point
Oleana a joke
You have no SpDef debuff for her Nuke
Does Gloria's sync always crit or no?
No
I don't want to candy or cake Oleana
