Damage Challenge

[copper otter]

You need to hit 9 sync boosts

[rose basalt]

once each with trace and melony and 3 times with lear

9?

do i need tm refresh or some sht for hop

or no stat drops

[copper otter]

You need to snatach, you can use chase's tm when low on gauge

Notice the 9 sync boosts

Is chase exr?

[rose basalt]

yws

i just use chase tm on almmost ful gauge

[copper otter]

Do not

[rose basalt]

makes sync countdown faster no?

[copper otter]

Use it when you get to 2 on Cd

That will refresh mga

Crit shouldn't be a problem either

[rose basalt]

nope cant do it

somwthing isnt right for me

[copper otter]

I'll do a run when i get home

[icy pendant]

can’t believe I scored 1.8 million with this 💀

time to score 2 million with enlightenment 9 obviously

[copper otter]

Nah go the extra mile. SDE 1

[rose basalt]

im at 9 sync boosts

rip

[icy pendant]

you're running a damage multiplier lucky skill unlike someone right

[copper otter]

Somethings off

[cloud timber]

lacking setup then

[rose basalt]

i have sp 3 on lear

[copper otter]

Are you using chase's spatk all

[rose basalt]

no

[copper otter]

Theres your problem

[rose basalt]

doesnt seem like u used it

[icy pendant]

probably got lucky with mpr

[copper otter]

My trainer in pasio i have +4 evasion

[rose basalt]

my chase is 2/5

btw

[copper otter]

Same

[icy pendant]

x spatk mpr is a 2/5 tile

[rose basalt]

hmm

so am i suppose to use x sp atk

to speed up cd

[copper otter]

Yes

Chase also gives more bonuses to increase lears rising tide

[rose basalt]

hmm i guess i could also replace vigiliance with hs 1 i guess

for chase

[copper otter]

Adrenaline 1

[rose basalt]

do i use kanto circle or no for more sync dmg

[copper otter]

No.

I did not use it as the animation is too slow

[rose basalt]

ok i keep falling 4 syncs short before syncing with 9 boosts

idk if it needs him to get para on moved or its still my timing/set yp

[copper otter]

What was the score?

[rose basalt]

869k

[copper otter]

That would have done

So another factor is Lear can proc propulsion 2

But only on his tms
I didn't get any on my run but you should only use chase's lets go everyone twice iirc

The rest is just sync rushing

[rose basalt]

something wrong with how im using chase tm prob

idk

[copper otter]

It could also be low rolls too

Remember, sync damage varies

[civic island]

Me rerollint for SP3 but now swapping LS

[toxic pine]

So, anyone know what I can do for the Marnie Event Stage?

[random cedar]

Best team for SS Steven?

[toxic pine]

Or if I can improve my teams in some form?

[random cedar]

Why is Hop not EX'd? tech EX Bonus makes him hit a lot harder

And SS Serena should not be on the same team as NC Nate

You have pretty much the best units for each stage but you're not using them correctly

[civic island]

Ye if you can afford to EX ncHop do it
He's already 3/5

[toxic pine]

Cuz I don't know how to use them & I don't have a lot of resources to upgrade everyone.

I could.

Lemme check.

[civic island]

Is ncNate RoleEX?

[toxic pine]

Yes.

[civic island]

Do you have ncRosa?

[toxic pine]

Yes.

[civic island]

Very well then for Wally you can run
NC Nate, ncRosa, Colress
For Hop you can run
ncHop, ncBianca, BP Barry

Remember the stage rules and use the right grids.
Read in the pins about turn skipping, you must spam status moves to stack sync buffs fast
Look at some videos in the pinned doc to check how they play

You should be able to hit at least 2M with those two stages

[toxic pine]

Why BP Barry instead of, like, SSA-Cynthia?
For turn-skipping?

[civic island]

Exactly

[random cedar]

Yeah, and since NC Hop provides zone already, SSAC will bring nothing but MUNs, which are pretty useless in this mode

[civic island]

Also ssaCynthia zone fade out fast, if you use ncHop TM before its sync and then turn skip with bp barry stun spore you can cover two syncs with fighting zone on

NC nate is abt the same thing, turn skip by using Sing on paralyzed opponents. Use NC Nate sync as 2nd sync to trigger dragon zone

Do not always use Bmove

[random cedar]

Make sure to not grid Go viral 9 on Rosa

[civic island]

No need if there's Colress paralyzing

[random cedar]

Oh right mb he has that in his kit

I thought BP Barry for a sec

[copper otter]

@rose basalt still need a video?

[rose basalt]

yessir

[copper otter]

Ok give me a bit.

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[toxic pine]

Aight, I'll look into the doc to see what I can do.

And look at the teams you suggested.

[dry whale]

Alright , changed my approach by not syncing with Rosa and this score missed the final crit. Lucian syncs 6 times.

The damage range is something like this.

90,263,284,368,412,2XX

I have not been able to get to that final sync again, I'll try again little later, phone needs some charging.

Dit it again and failed to crit once again also my roll where lower it was a 1.66 million

[copper otter]

@rose basalt done, gimme a sec

[shrewd plume]

In Dragon ranked team in pinned, why does SST Red sync in NC Nate team?

[copper otter]

Of course the game picks the worst song tho lmao.

.

[long silo]

Inflict Paralysis. I assume the 3rd pair has Sing to spam

[shrewd plume]

He already does that through max move

[long silo]

No I meant he'd inflict para so the sing spammer fails their sing, which is faster than Colress/Barry

[faint quiver]

Animation-less long duration Electric Terrain.

[long silo]

Well I assume that's the strat anyway I haven't looked at the doc

[icy pendant]

sst red syncs for ET yeah

[faint quiver]

Opponent can't sleep under ET.

[shrewd plume]

But enemies can't sleep anyway because they are already paralyzed aren't they?

[icy pendant]

I believe ET is a slightly earlier check and is therefore a framesaver?

also red has turbo charge stapled to his passive for gauge help

[rose basalt]

appreciate the 1 speed

[copper otter]

1 speed is more optimal

It actually stops the timer from skipping miliseconds

[rose basalt]

hmmm

[copper otter]

It could also be a placebo effect idk

[icy pendant]

the main benefit of 1x speed is more frame tight sing spamming

[rose basalt]

btw whats your lucky skill for lear and melony

[copper otter]

Lear is cs2, melony is HS1

[rose basalt]

hmm

ill swap sp 3 then for cs 2

[copper otter]

Sp3 is better

I'm out of deluxe cookies

So i can't cookie for sp3

Also gears do matter here. If you don't have any gears, that'll do it too

[rose basalt]

why is chase target

[copper otter]

Because he paralyzes when the opponent hits him

[rose basalt]

o

[copper otter]

Turn 1 crunch

[rose basalt]

i got the status ts

for chase

[copper otter]

Status ts?

[icy pendant]

why not paralyze off the air cutter instead to save animation time?

or reset for turn 1 thunder shock paralysis

[copper otter]

Because rng, and 2. You're wasting time not picking sing to sync

[rose basalt]

done thank you so much

i went for ts static at the start

got a hyperhole whatever its called in at the end

finally

[long silo]

Perfect

[rose basalt]

oh man the one after the next one is bug single

[orchid crescent]

ew bug single

[loud cedar]

@warped gulch https://youtu.be/ZlLJbOlwdso?si=UnWKfmkNmSXgv96c look at the rng for the very first run i did after you showed me the way lmao

[long silo]

In 1/5 Viola I cope

[civic island]

7 sync buffs

[unborn otter]

[civic island]

Idk what went wrong, like everything

Just went from aiming at 2M to 500k

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[hidden fog]

Who's the easiest pair to 1m with for this DC?

SSSteven? Olympia? Jacq? Tate?

[long silo]

Jacq easy

[hidden fog]

Ogey

Just wanna get my 1m and run

[stoic crest]

Any suggestions? I didn't even get 300k

This is my options

Please ping me

[rain copper]

please for documented clears

i think Lucian is your best bet, and you have tools to reach 1m with him

like this, Red only sync once, the rest was Lucian's

[stoic crest]

Oh 😮

Lucian

[rain copper]

after the first sync, use Growl and Sing to setup Lucian's nuke and reach sync quickly

after Gladion has -6 spdef and atk just spam sing and use Red's TM on Lucian every sync cycle

HS1 on Rosa and Red help a lot on the first sync, but i think you are fine without

i couldn't squeeze another sync, because i had like 17s left

[stoic crest]

Is this grid good?

[rain copper]

i used this: https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/17600/20300?s=5&l=140&r=5&p=0&a=0&g=AAECAwQFFRYXGCMlKSosLi8

Ramp Up allows him to max spatk in 2 turns

if your skill gears don't have sync multipliers, consider raising energy cap to pick another sync bp tile

[stoic crest]

Skill gears?

[rain copper]

hold on lemme send my gears

Here are my gears

[pallid girder]

Plz if you're using a tech, check its multipliers and make sure you fulfill them.
Jacq for example has both rising tide as his innate and grid tile, so he needs +18 buffs to max his sync dmg.
If you only give him +6 spatk & +3 crit and think he's good, errr ofc his dmg will be ugly.

[stoic crest]

How do I get those specific ones?

I have all these features and gears I just never used them for anything

[rain copper]

just keep rolling feathers

until you get the gears you want

that's the only way

[stoic crest]

Oh I have plenty of feathers it should be doable. Thank you!

I managed to get 560k with Lucian so far

[rain copper]

i think you can score 800k following my strat at least, without rolling for good gears

[stoic crest]

Yeah I'm thinking that's very doable

I synced with meleotta on accident instead of snorlax.

So I had to waste time getting sing back 😔

[queen moth]

Yo what?

What grids

[rain copper]

i would just reset

never touch her B Move nor sync

[queen moth]

Green Feather: Mix of Red/Pink/Blue with added focus on Status & Interference Passives.
Purple Feather: Mix of Red/Pink/Blue with added focus on Weather passives.
White Feather: Mix of everything with bigger focus on Type Themes but with lesser stats.
Yellow Feather: Mix of everything with no particular focus.

Rainbow Feather: Fixed stats & passives tailor made for a specific pair.

[rain copper]

ignore the first command i got a brainfart

[last stream]

Jacq mainly.

[rain copper]

since you aim to sync nuke, pink feathers have a focus on sync move multipliers

[stoic crest]

What about her move that ups special damage?

Her TM

It does so much it feels like it wastes so much time.

[rain copper]

SMUN doesn't affect sync and Lucian buffs speed with his passives

so don't touch her TM either

Sing spam is the way

Owhh

Alongside Volo

[tired narwhal]

Honestly I prob would have skipped just cuz I didn’t know the Pokémon. And I love deoxys. But those numbers are nuts. Appreciate the photo

[stoic crest]

Oh I had no clue it had no impact on sync. That's super helpful! Thank you!!

[fallen trail]

took way too long to get 1 mil, i only today learned the “use potions at full health to burn sync countdown” strat and it helped a ton

[copper otter]

interesting.... NC Blue as a paralyzer and using EX speed All to counteract sing's gauge usage.....

[pallid girder]

Also one of his passive gives team sync move *20% dmg boost

[last stream]

got 1.1 mil with ncRosa, Red, Lear

maybe I should skip rosa sync

[raven saffron]

Does anyone have Lucian teams that dont include nc rosa

[last stream]

I'm guessing you'd sub in Melony

[fallen trail]

that can reach 1 mil? i'd be surprised

melony can help but no rebuff likely means no 1 mil

[tiny mist]

u try to get the debuffs in? or u just keep nuking?

[fallen trail]

you need to get 6 growls in

otherwise his sync is not good

[tiny mist]

How did u manage this

I can make the same team but seriously how 🙄

[fallen trail]

it was extremely tight, i used reds mini potion at the start and rosas b move once, then her potions all on lucian to rush sync countdown. rosa syncs first then red (grid red for adrenaline). first body slam from red needs to paralyze then spam sing to get to sync (once fully debuffed). got 3 syncs in with lucian, last sync was with a second left

lucian needs a x sp atk mpr usually but my winning run i actually got lucky and rosa's b move buffed his sp atk so he only needed to x sp atk twice

[long silo]

https://youtu.be/Wp0MurTlcag?si=zsu-onYkysr7aW8v

Someone else here did, but with Melony instead of Barry iirc

[tiny mist]

ok i went from 260k to 860k tysm

Unfortunately on the 3rd sync lucian didnt crit

[ivory kestrel]

I’m not sure i can reach 2M without caking Jacq

[dry whale]

Finally hit all the crits but circle ran out. You actually want your dodge not to be front loaded.

Putting team sharp entry on Rosa helps me get more consistently since the time I save by not having to use an extra trainer move from Chase allows for more sings

Still gonna grind it out

[fallen trail]

this happened to me too 💀

on the first attempt i got 3 syncs in

[cedar cloak]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/1ecic0e/35_mil_run_vs_dragon_dc/ guys i tried this comp and copied the exact grid and stuff but why my sync nuke from nate can never be 100k+ like in this vid? Max probably around 40k each. What did I miss? I have better skill gear than the op too

[rain copper]

That video is for no rule Dragon DC

In the ranked event the Dragon weak stage has special rule of decreasing sync dmg

[cedar cloak]

ohhh i see, i thought that was ranked for a sec 💀

[true locust]

Yeap normal dc dragon:)

3,5m no sync damage never happend

[topaz roost]

Quick question

Does Hop or Bianca have a bigger sync? Mostly Asking for the current sparring

Actually while we're at this should I change this lineup?

[pallid girder]

Hop has the highest ST sync dmg among all fighting types.

You should swap out NC Rosa. Without anyone paralysis in the team she can't do sync rush.
Choose the good old Colress or BP Barry to sync rush.
(btw do you know how to sync rush by failed status move?)

[topaz roost]

I've never really delved into this mode too hard before today

But I read through some of the pins and my understanding is like

You can sleep spam on opponents afflicted with some other condition

And the opponent might not be able to queue moves fast enough or something?

I don't get the theory behind it but that's what I got out of it

[thin wren]

hlo

[long silo]

Hi

[long silo]

This could work but you will be subjected to pure RNG of Sing Spam

[thin wren]

other than skippingmud, has anyone gotten over 1.4 mil with Lear?

[long silo]

I got 1.45m, but someone above got 1.8m with Redlax and Rosa

[topaz roost]

My main reason for Rosa tbh was mostly the rebuff

[thin wren]

Lear has the most consistent 1 mil here technically if you are looking for consistency

[topaz roost]

And just hope Sing Spam rng worked out for me

I don't know if it's worth though

[feral hamlet]

How do I get 2x more points?

[long silo]

Perfectly reasonable, but ye if you are okay with the sing rng then it should be fine

[topaz roost]

Also I haven't checked but does the game mode count damage done to the sides

[long silo]

It should, altho the current fighting content for DC is only ST so far

Once AoE arrives, Rei and Bianca would probably be uncontested unless we got someone on Anniv

[hidden fog]

[topaz roost]

Oh I see

[jolly violet]

The fail status move cut down a lot of animation when used in order to save time and rush the sync move counter.

[pallid girder]

Almost. It's not really opponents can't queue moves but just you use the least sec to get your sync asap so you can squeeze more sync.
Actually every paralyze and sleep status moves can work, but you also need to keep your gauge up, so only sing (1 bar) or Colress/BP Barry (0 gauge or +2 gauge back after every statue they spam) are recommended.

[jolly violet]

hence more sync will be use and more dmg

[thin wren]

gotta grind more to have the second highest Lear then

[topaz roost]

I see

I guess I'll experiment around then

[safe prawn]

That’s a 5/5 exr +10E jacq btw

[long silo]

Figured. Still, nice to see

[safe prawn]

My 3/5 no exr does nothing

[long silo]

Altho it's funny that this is the same dmg range Lusamine got on AoE Psychic lol

We didn't know the strat back then but even then that's hilarious to think about

[safe prawn]

Well jacq b move is broken

[long silo]

3/5 should be enough for 1m unless you care about the rank

[safe prawn]

We have already seen in lg

[safe prawn]

I did but I also got 1.6 mln with Velio bc he has exr

[pallid girder]

I kinda wonder could LuSSa do better with NC Rosa + Red than NC Rosa + SS Lana.

[thin wren]

probably

Unless your sync damage is something noticeable I think is faster to use relic song before syncing, te sync would do 0 damage but skipping the fighting rebuff I think is a bit faster

[normal parcel]

Nate did it because his sync is once per sync cycle, NC silver, NC Marnie and rei will probably do rhe same thing if they get the bad sync AOE ranked stage, units like zerena should just focus on dps i guess

[rotund sierra]

Going double support ex (or even triple with support exr) is the best for bad sync stages

Melony buffs are bad but she's faster

Elio is the only sync spammer that can get at least+4 sp attack

Even +6 if you fish for 20% mpr

That should be the team

[normal parcel]

Elio clears are a bit random, because it has propeller 5, so if it triggers less you may end up with more time available, if it procs a lot you may end up a bit short, but worst case scenario should like Barry

[brazen dew]

Ayo 🧐

[thin wren]

hlo

[safe prawn]

Did you sync with both red and NCRosa or just 1 of them? Bc I can have the same setup but I’m not getting past 1 mln

[zinc pecan]

Sorry to bother, what’s the strat here? Are you syncing with Rosa first, then Steven for the TMP refreshes? When are you using Meloetta B-Moves?

[thin wren]

Don't sync with rosa

[eternal pecan]

So for single target stages is Larry as good as SC Steven?

[cloud timber]

ehhhhhh

sc steven has a lot more going for him in a supporting role

[normal parcel]

Didn't did a run with lucian but I saw it can get over 1m

I think someone got 1.5m with him

[nova remnant]

Yeah pykuo did I believe, NC Blue/Lucian/NC Rosa

[normal parcel]

I think someone still got 1m 100% f2p

[nova remnant]

Also pykuo

[cloud timber]

yep

[nova remnant]

With BP Barry and Bianca

[normal parcel]

Was NC blue or chase?

[nova remnant]

I think that's the one that requires more rng in the play

[long silo]

I think pykuo used Bianca and Melony

But I saw the vid with Bianca and Barry too

[normal parcel]

Lucian buffs team speed so I guess melony was optimal

[safe prawn]

Using it just once right after first sync bc her b move takes too much time

[thin wren]

won't b move before sync be faster?

[normal parcel]

It should be

But not by much

[safe prawn]

You need Rosa to sleep

[thin wren]

your sync does 0 damage but you skip the rebuff animation

[safe prawn]

So they don’t move

That’s it

[normal parcel]

I used b move before sync

[thin wren]

shouldn't they still be asleep even if just barely?

[normal parcel]

Eventually there's also the 2 Rosa syncs route if you can manage to use 6 moves after 1st sync, but is only worth it it nets you an extra sync

Like you just paralyze and spam sing 1st cycle then you buff 2nd cycle

If you can get an extra sync with that you net the same amount of damage dealing syncs but with an extra sync buff

[hidden fog]

Who's the premium DPS for triple dark

Akari?

[pallid girder]

I've seen that video and in the description it says it requires 2 para proc.

[scenic grotto]

At least I can use the Larry I pity pulled from the 72 hour banner

[fluid anvil]

Yeah probably.
Not sure if Brycenman can beat her

[ivory kestrel]

NC Marnie says hello

Although i think a combination of NC Marnie and Akari would do wonders

[fluid anvil]

Akari will beat NC Marnie for Dark 3v3, she has zone and a lot higher sync multipliers
combination is usually bad for DC, you need only 1 damage dealer pair

[safe prawn]

Marnie might outclass akari thx to B move

[dusk spire]

Hello, which DC sync pair should I get first?

[safe prawn]

Which one you like more, they are not meta relevant

[dusk spire]

If it is based on my needs, I do not have any Sprint sync pairs, therefore I need one

[dusk spire]

But their worth and abilities varies, not the same, right?

[safe prawn]

Yes but there’s not one that is better than others

[dusk spire]

So due to their differences, there should be one or more of them that are generally better than another

[dusk spire]

They're all equal in their own terms?

[safe prawn]

There’s only gladion which is a little bit relevant bc he can solo some arenas

For sprint sync pairs I think blue is better but we are not talking about meta relevance

[normal parcel]

I guess akari has the advantage of being physical

Marnie has evasion however

[dusk plume]

what would be a good team for Marnie? zone or rebuff?

[solemn folio]

Zone

As she is multiple.. applying rebuff can take several turns if the ability allows it

It takes time

[dusk plume]

I'm considering Marnie + Brycen-Man for AoE rebuff and SpDef debuff

[normal parcel]

Or maybe the ol reliable chase

[pallid girder]

Most rebuff units are strictly once / twice on either ST or AOE.
We don't really have many units that apply 1 rebuff a time but can apply 3 times (only SS Hilbert from what I rmb).

[normal parcel]

Maybe NC blue works too

That extra 30% sync multiplier helps

[fluid anvil]

blues team sync multiplier is 20%

[normal parcel]

Who has 30% volo?

Or nobody?

[fluid anvil]

Melony + Chase is almost certainly the best possible team for NC Marnie for DC (especially if you have skill gears for status/paralysis)
Its usually always the best sing spam 3v3 team for any special nuker that isnt Psychic/Fighting/Electric
For 3v1 special - you can start looking at Melony + Larry maybe, instead of Chase. Unsure who is better

[normal parcel]

Maybe Rosa if you want those extra smun stacks

Sprint ex patches relic song a bit

Don't know if is worth using the b move, or try to save a +10 for the end

[vernal condor]

Is there an argument to be made for Elio in DC ? Supp + Sprint + Circle + can top atk and spa

[fluid anvil]

It doesnt patch it enough, you will still likely lose time to either do an extra sync or to drop Marnies attack at the very end (which you definitely have to do here)
Even using Rosas TM itself is a time loss vs just spamming sing

[normal parcel]

Elio is slower

It works if you have gauge issues

I mean is more gauge friendly, but propeller 5 slows down the run

[vernal condor]

Alt Elio

Base elio doesnt have sprint and circle

[normal parcel]

I tought elio + chase

[vernal condor]

Chase cant top atk

Oh base elio could ig

In any case that's not what I meant

[normal parcel]

Don't even know what the new elio does to be honest

New Helio does nothing for sing spam

[pallid girder]

Need to wait until Rock v1 to see how altelio plays out

[normal parcel]

Doesn't paralyze and doesn't have sing

[safe prawn]

I don’t see Elio being relevant in rock dc

Or dc in general

[normal parcel]

Og elio is way more relevant

Alt elio does nothing for dc

[thin wren]

probably

[safe prawn]

Alt Selene is gonna be good for rock 3v3 but silver will still outclass her imo, for 1v3 new exr Diantha will have her play

[thin wren]

isn't it kinda slow and no propul tho?plus she doesn't compress anything

[safe prawn]

But you can unleash multiple B moves so the damage may stock up and surclass akari

[pallid girder]

I'm thinking he would be good for Gordie. Gordie burns so you can use sing rush.

[normal parcel]

I mean if you save her b move for the end with some smun stacks, it will hit for massive damage

[cloud timber]

support+sprint with circle and rock zone should be enough to make alt elio not irrelevant to dc

[safe prawn]

I should make calcs but im lazy

[thin wren]

she can't get dark zone and sing rush tho

Idt b move makes up for the big sync and extra multiplier diffrence

[safe prawn]

And akari has ScSteven I know

[thin wren]

not sc Steven

redlax + melony

if marnie gets redlax + melony she's still missing dark zone

[normal parcel]

Is akari fast enough to afford melony?

[thin wren]

yeah marnie has evasion but it's only+2

[thin wren]

umbral accel. If not she can also get elio

still a good bit faster than para rush

[normal parcel]

I mean with chase Marnie still gets 20% from circle

[safe prawn]

Her tm has speed

[thin wren]

with redlax she gets 50% +50% from zone

[normal parcel]

Her tm is slow

[thin wren]

+100% more sync multiplier

[safe prawn]

Steven gives her def debuffs and speed if akari is not 5/5

[fluid anvil]

Nah. And multiple B-moves is worse than sync rushing

[thin wren]

• her field exr makes zone 0 anim

for each Marnie b move, akari has an extra sync

[normal parcel]

Maybe if Marnie got exr now the extra sync buff may have helped

[thin wren]

still she ain't beating akari

compression is very important for dc

[fluid anvil]

Akari has 170% total sync multipliers

[normal parcel]

Marnie has almost 600 base spattack

[thin wren]

she has Marnie beat in both multipliers and compression

80% sync multiplier vs 170%

[safe prawn]

Akari will need to use red’s fight dyna btw

[thin wren]

0 turn tm set up

[safe prawn]

Red mpr hell is real

[thin wren]

redlax has mpr

[normal parcel]

But Marnie has a 40% multiplicative too

[safe prawn]

Fierce entry is too far in grid

[thin wren]

Just reset for mpr

[fluid anvil]

Marnie SpAtk wont beat zone + much higher sync multipliers
Akari can also get colress def drops
But we'll see soon

[thin wren]

?

oh her passive

[normal parcel]

Marnie gets +40% damage if not full hp

[thin wren]

it's special attack

[long silo]

It's all good as long as both can reach 1m

[thin wren]

not damage

[normal parcel]

Special attack is damage

[safe prawn]

If it’s for 1mln I can see Karen getting there btw

[thin wren]

imo akari would prefer redlax and melony. She has effectively a 0 tm set up so she can get in a lot of syncs

[normal parcel]

I think it scales with skill gear too like mega

[long silo]

Even better, for people who have no Akari/NC Marnie/Brycen Man

[thin wren]

still akari has 170% vs 120% . Then we need to factor in dark zone from akari so another+50%

then we need to factor in 0 tm

[safe prawn]

She can poison for sing spam, and you can setup with a couple of snarls

[fluid anvil]

I dont do redlax + melony, too many gauge issue. Colress ftw, you still get 6 syncs with him

[thin wren]

akari should make gauge fine

[safe prawn]

Good old screech colress

[normal parcel]

The 40% from Marnie is more like a Weaker dark zone

[thin wren]

umbral Accel+ speed from tm

[long silo]

I'll attempt the usual Steven + Barry

[normal parcel]

Isn't 40 % additive

[thin wren]

akari still has double the multipliers

Plus b each b move means 1 less sync

[normal parcel]

You don't spam b move with marnie

You save it for the end like nate

[fluid anvil]

colress using screech 2/3 times is like a free x1.2-x1.3 total damage boost and it doesnt take that much time

[thin wren]

still that isn't enough of a damage spike considering how many syncs akari will have

[normal parcel]

Marnie shouldn't sync less

[thin wren]

Redlax gives another support ex sync so I prefer him

[fluid anvil]

You use both. Redlax + Colress

[thin wren]

even when both sync equally akari will have more of a damage gap due to double powered syncs than carnie can cover with b move

[thin wren]

meant to say melony, oops

I think the gauge should be fine

that will need some testing tho

[fluid anvil]

tbh I only like Melony with Chase, I dont really use her otherwise

[pallid girder]

I don't think Melony can work w/o any speed buff

[long silo]

Some bypassed it with Speedy Entry(?) LC

[normal parcel]

Sadly I can't calculate Marnie damage because I don't think is possible to setup HP in the damage calc

[sacred flower]

Do you wait for enemies to get paralyzed by hitting Chase? I assume his heal is annoying

[normal parcel]

I guess you use he9 thundershock

[sacred flower]

1/5 Chase though

[normal parcel]

You don't want enemies to hit Chase, but aie eventually will

[normal parcel]

1/5 isn't that good for dc

[long silo]

Oh Speedy Entry is on a 1/2* Deluxe Cookie

[fluid anvil]

Chase needs 3/5 for DC, I'm not how good he is without it.
But with 3/5 he is better than NC Blue if the stage isnt electric-weak

[thin wren]

She's fine with gauge on non chase stuff if the dd is insanely good at gauge like hau

[thin wren]

3/5 also has sure para to shock to deal with rng

[pallid girder]

Aug 5! It's the day we can start to farm more Deluxe Cookies!

[normal parcel]

In the end After debating who is better between Marnie and Akari, like alt Gloria, summer N will appear from nowhere and take the top spot

[thin wren]

do ya all pick up let's go everyone mpr on chase?

[thin wren]

The lg is pain tho....

moltres,latias and bulu

the one time I was gonna grind cookies for dc

whyyyy dena whyyy

[normal parcel]

Moltres is enough

[thin wren]

latias is there as well

[normal parcel]

That's annoying too

Moltres is worse I think

[pallid girder]

We still need to do it. I hate lacking HS1 on so many units.

[normal parcel]

And super powered 3 too

[fluid anvil]

summer N is strictly worse than both Akari and probably NC Marnie too here.
and if he doesnt have Soften-Up 1 than he is WAY worse

[normal parcel]

I mean SP3 is worth mainly on DC top options

[normal parcel]

It has super syncer 9

Is basically zone

[scenic grotto]

But Supper N has Super Effective Up Next every sync

[safe prawn]

DeNa knew ppl would have to grind lg for cookies

So they throw the worst combo at as

Right after 2nd worst combo with regi and terra lol

[fluid anvil]

yeah, but still no Soften- Up 1 (I think ?) and his sync mutipliers are too slow, if you even can set them up effectively for DC

[long silo]

Last one is the first time I did solo LG

[fluid anvil]

Summer N can maybe somehow beat Marnie (not sure), but he definitely cannot beat Akari who has 170% sync multipliers ALL of which are absolutely free/automatic

[long silo]

[normal parcel]

The real gamblers roll the 80% chsnce

[safe prawn]

waiting for y’all in the lg chat

[normal parcel]

I guess akari is better at 4/5 +

Marnie has soften up at 3/5

[long silo]

I will be on it when LG goes live

[fluid anvil]

oh yeah and summer N has no EX role

[long silo]

LG is also how I found out +6 evasion is just 50% chance to evade

[safe prawn]

5/5 akari might go like this if no debuffs from team

[fluid anvil]

you dont have any time to debuff with her.
get soften-up 1, its must have

[safe prawn]

Fair

[fluid anvil]

in fact you cant even attack with Akari at all, you dont want to set the Damage field
but it also means her setup is 0 seconds

[safe prawn]

I mean

if I had 5/5

My modest 3/5 will do her best

[long silo]

My humble 1/5 can do it, trust

[loud cedar]

my humble 0/5 can do it, trust

[long silo]

🙏

[pallid girder]

Trust Karen can do 1M (but only with premium teammates ig)

[fluid anvil]

4M is going to be impossible for 3v3 Dark most likely.
3M sure. 3.5M ~maybe

[crude sandal]

What's the comp?

[thin wren]

for what?

[crude sandal]

Dark 3v3

[thin wren]

Marnie redlax and colress/melony

[crude sandal]

Not Akari or Brycen-Man, interesting

[fluid anvil]

Akari is better than Marnie, but you want her at 4/5 for Soften-Up 1
Brycenman kind of sucks tbh

[crude sandal]

Yeah, Brycen-Man's set up is too long

[thin wren]

meant to say akari oops

akari redlax colress/melony

[thin wren]

even 3/5 akari better imo

Just a little more rng

[unborn otter]

how good would 4/5 ss brendan be with exr in dc and hse?

[long silo]

Pretty good

At least for special attackers

[thin wren]

dc his partner would really want sp def drops but he would be good yes

[dusk spire]

Hello, do you guys always prioritize using sync moves by spamming failed status moves or so instead of using normal moves? Is that why most veteran players got to around 1 million damage or even more?

[thin wren]

especially if the team can sustain melony

[thin wren]

usually yeh

[warm basalt]

I got Red and Snorlax today. I can’t ex him for a couple of weeks and have no deluxe cookies (I did have a candy so he’s move level 2) but want to understand how to use him in the damage challenge

[dusk spire]

Because basically this whole time, I use normal moves rather than spamming sync

[dusk spire]

If that's okay, can I get a tip on SS Steven? Given that the current DC is Psychic-weak?

He, and Giovanni (PB'd) are the only high-damage Psychic types that I have

I thought having Lodge Cheren on the team who has Sp. Def 2↓ would help, but I ran out of move gauges lol

[thin wren]

never use normal

[thin wren]

do you have melony, chase or redlax

or elio

[dusk spire]

It doesn't seem like I know how to properly play DC and utilize Colress and BP Barry as suggested in the pins

[dusk spire]

None of what you said

[thin wren]

he is generally used to give your dd seun before they sync with his tm, You and Me!. He's also used with sing sync spam to give enemy para so the sing user can spam failed sings. If you wanna know what's sync rush you can check out the pins

[thin wren]

do you have charging infliction gridded on barry?

if so you click stun spore on paralysed enemy constantly till you synf

*sync

don't click anything else in between

[warm basalt]

Thank you I will

[safe prawn]

Hse is gonna go wild bc of the lack of proper supports

[unborn otter]

i was thinking between giving cake to elio or ss brendan

[safe prawn]

We literally have 7 ground/dragon supp altogether, with 2 of them being Nita and drake

[dusk spire]

I don't actually have him yet

What move level does he need to unlock that sync grid?

[safe prawn]

Sorry, 8, lodge Cynthia

[unborn otter]

so i should cake ss brendan

[dusk spire]

I can just candy him instead of using BP duplicates since I got plenty of 4★ candies

[unborn otter]

3/5 ^

[thin wren]

first hse where I have a top 5k chance I think since I am only missing pallow, ny Clair and v Lyra for supports

[safe prawn]

If you plan to play the hse why not

[sacred badger]

i managed to hit 900k with SS Brendan 5, Anni May 3R and NC Rosa 3R .-.

[scenic grotto]

Got 28/41 Ground and Dragon type units
8 of which are limited (9 if you include Lodge Cynthia)

[thin wren]

What dds would want ss Brendan's debuffing?

can anyone send the website that's used to track your sync pairs btw

I can't find it

[scenic grotto]

Just google “pokemon masters tracker”

And it should be the top result

[raven saffron]

+tracker

[turbid vault]

@frail owl I'm impressed you got 713k with those move levels and no EX. I can't get over 900k with caked 3/5 redlax and rosa, and 4/5 ex lucian 🤡

[rain copper]

Something is wrong

Both supports are 3/5 EX?

Because i got 1mil with him

[nova remnant]

You most likely either miss crits

[rain copper]

Yeah

[nova remnant]

Or didn't optimize the way you rush the sync countdown

But I think miss crits is more likely

[rare apex]

cheeky -5 sync cd on sync

[normal parcel]

Depends how many syncs we can land, if is like 5 damage dealing syncs, good luck critting everything without soften up

[thin wren]

luck harder

simply crit

[normal parcel]

I have 3/5 Marnie and 1/5 akari, so the choice is obvious

If akari had soften up at 3/5 I would definitely have considered candying her

[thin wren]

me with 2/5 furry Hilbert

[normal parcel]

But that's te problem of pokefairs, they always had soften up at 4 or 5/5

[normal parcel]

Just use Karen then

[thin wren]

guh, why does cyrus debuff even when he doesn't sleep

he would have been so nice as a sleep spammer

[normal parcel]

Isn't dark void 2 gauges?

[thin wren]

Yes but at least he gives zone

[normal parcel]

The point isn't that sleep is better, is that sing exists

There's no 1 gauge paralysis, so we use sleep

2 gauge sleep is pointless

Or at least there's no 1 gauge move that just inflicts paralysis

[thin wren]

still he would be a nice side with bp barry

[normal parcel]

Unless they introduce a fuel economy unit with thunder wave or stun spore, sing is the way

[thin wren]

soon

[normal parcel]

Support field arceus with tm that changes type to the enemy type, and applies rebuff to all the enemies, fuel economy 2 thunder wave, and super effective up next with MPR 9

And his sync will have a tech innate too

[scenic grotto]

Would thunder wave + fuel economy 1 skill work the same as sing?

[thin wren]

with field exr or support exr

[normal parcel]

Yes but better because you don't need anote paralysis

[craggy pond]

master 1,091 rn, feasible to improve into top 1k by the event end?

no colress unfortunately

[normal parcel]

I would say field exr because some base supports have tech innate

[craggy pond]

ahhh wait i haven't rolled sp3 on nc nate & koga

that might be enough

i dunno if i have enough cookies though

ig nate first

[normal parcel]

Cs2 isn't that bad because Nate has sure crit

1 gauge paralysis would definitely be better than sing spam, problem is that nobody has 1 gauge paralysis

[thin wren]

0 gauge paralysis when

fuel economy 2 t wave unit when

[normal parcel]

We have 0 gauge paralysis, but infliction freebie stalls for time

[craggy pond]

wait what's better extra 10 atk or sync moves ^ 3%

[scenic grotto]

This might be Copium but imagine Arceus having two kits (similar to SS Steven)
Kit 1: has AoE sync, has AoE Judgement, applies Super Effective Up Next on itself every sync
Kit 2: applies Rebuff Debuff of any type, Scary Face with a Ripple Effect 9 and able to debuff Defence and Sp. Def by -2 each, applies WTZ every sync

[craggy pond]

(skill gear)

[left vine]

Wish granted:
It's on a B-move

[craggy pond]

wait -

not sync

never mind forgot the stage rule

but i have a nice +80 atk opp status moves ^ 3% so that works out

[thin wren]

by 0 gauge I mean no gauges lost when clicking the move for sync spam with no issues

[scenic grotto]

So infliction freebie 9

[thin wren]

no, fuel economy 2

so no passive pop up

[normal parcel]

Infliction freebie doesn't deducts gauge but still has the small animation for it

[scenic grotto]

Fair enough

[normal parcel]

Yes fuel economy 2 paralysis would be the definitive sync spam but it should have support ex

[scenic grotto]

Me: Thunder Wave with Fuel Economy 1
You: why not Fuel Economy 2?

[normal parcel]

Fuel economy 1 makes t wave spammable like sing, fuel 2 makes it spammable like infliction freebie but without time wasted for it

[thin wren]

soon

[scenic grotto]

Fuel Economy 2 Paralysis with Go Viral 9: ultimate sync countdown
P-Move on Opp: Sp. Def + Def ↓2 9 with Ripple Effect 9: ultimate bulk debuffer
Rebuff Reducing Hit (Weakness)
Super Effective Up TM

SC Steven has Rebuff debuff, defence debuff, and Super Effective Up

A perfect match for him would be a unit with AoE -2 Sp. Def debuff move, Max Phantasm for the stages where the opponent uses X Def All, Fuel Economy 2 Thunder Wave or Stun Spore, and Support/Sprint EX/EXR

[craggy pond]

sp3 on Nate pushed me over 3mil lets goo

that's only master 950 rn though so not within safe range

ig my best bet is to roll sp3 on koga (but the koga stage takes so much rng in the first place with the crits and koga dodges💀)

maybe i should try push hop's stage first ? but i feel like i already played it well (one rei tm MPR saved for last sync and he already has SP3)

i don't know if i could realistically squeeze another use of the TM anyway

even if i rolled double mpr

hm

anyone have any suggestions

[scenic grotto]

Make a mockup a concept for such a possible unit in #character-concept-crafting

[normal parcel]

SC Steven with support exr would be perfect

[scenic grotto]

Yes

[nova remnant]

He has tiles like sync TM MPR and adr2 support exr is literally his best option

[unborn vault]

Wait what do you do with chase alongside ssteven?

[scenic grotto]

If Colress had Metal Sound instead of Screech then he would have paired nicely with SC Steven

[dense citrus]

Imagine if they reintroduced the old concept of units learning moves.. but made like LS to swap moves in and out....

[scenic grotto]

That would be cool

[dense citrus]

only issue (that leaves it a far away dream for now.. maybe?..) the grids.. ouch

[scenic grotto]

Indeed
Some grids would have to change to compensate, which means more work for somewhat small reward

[copper otter]

So far, i think the best team comp for Melony is surprisingly freaking NC Blue

He has EX Speed all to conpensate for the sing gauge issues

You lose out on SEUN, but to max out crit and special attack, that's worth it

St Electric weak is gonna be insane

Nc Blue, Melony, Sst Red confirmed

Or even ash for Aoe Elec

[craggy pond]

yeah i used him with melony

for koga poison ranked DC

[fluid anvil]

chase is superior to blue (on non-electric) if you have him at 3/5. but blue is fine

[copper otter]

50% rebuff is kind of hard to skip out on when all you're doing is sync rushing

If elec weak i mean

Chase though, yea he's better due to sprint exr

[fluid anvil]

sst red will have 2 issues for 3v1 electric

1. his TM gives regen to whole team and its the only way to buff his Atk to +6
2. cakewalk debuffs ...
   But everything else is amazing

[toxic pine]

So I'm trying out the team that was recommended to me earlier.

BP Barry, NC-Hop, and NC-Bianca.

For some reason, I'm not getting anywhere above 250k dmg.

[craggy pond]

that sounds definitely not right

what's your strategy?

[toxic pine]

IDK

I was just recommended a team.

IDK what to really do in these challenges.

I usually just settle for whatever I get in the normal versions, usually 100k.

[icy pendant]

How familiar are you with sync rushing as described in the pins?

[toxic pine]

it feels like every time I try to button-mash Stun Spore, he already has a move set up.

[craggy pond]

it often feels like that at the beginning

[icy pendant]

That’ll stop happening once enemy Hop runs out of gauge

[craggy pond]

you can alternate with moving with bianca at the beginning as well

since she ups evasion

and if you have her 3/5 you can get def destroyer and flinch

[icy pendant]

Also you’ll be multiqueueing more at the beginning, which means more time for the enemy to regain gauge

[craggy pond]

btw

should i take MGR on melony's sing

or is that bad

[icy pendant]

the move will never succeed

so MGR will never proc

[craggy pond]

oh right

[dense citrus]

oh...

[toxic pine]

Before:

After:

So I just need 28k points to be done with the event.

[craggy pond]

not me getting the perfect koga run but forgetting to use the mpr to max evasion 💀

im so goofy

i got too into the sync rushing

neat thats easy

[toxic pine]

Once I get the 28k points, I'll be done.

Done.

Freedom from Accursed Event Series #4.

(the other three are Legendary Gauntlet, Pasio Special Stadium, and High Score Event)

[craggy pond]

one opponent move off final sync.

gah

that was such a good run

am i going to sit here until i get that final sync. Yeah

we're so close

every time

it feels frustratingly possible

(not to mention the crit variation 💀)

[thin wren]

hau for aoe elec imo

[craggy pond]

i thought you meant base hau for a second and went ???

[thin wren]

ss hau ofc

[craggy pond]

though hau is not a bad f2p option i think ?

[thin wren]

yeh

I think elesa will be better because of sure crit tho(?)

[craggy pond]

AGAIN

im gonna explode

melony started to run low on gauge there at the very very end

they can definitely do it but how many resets it would take who knows

tfw you have a whole 2+ seconds left but the opponent said "Dazzling Gleam"

maybe i should try roll a pin with both spatk and speed,,

oh neat i already have one

-5 spatk but +30 spd

[latent plover]

Elio might work in Rock Weak aoe I guess? Since Diantha is way to slow

Double Circle would be nice for Silver, and Elio being support means he can sync first while being able to afford Colress on that team

[vernal condor]

Maybe, if only he was Field and not Sprint

I dont get at all why he's sprint besides "ahah sprint stakataka is funny"

[craggy pond]

YEAH HAHAHAHAHA GOT IT

sorry that just took too long

800k lets go

[ivory kestrel]

Which unit can reliably drop SpDef and cause Paralysis as well?

[craggy pond]

like colress but for spdef?

dont know if there is one hm

[copper otter]

Uh..... iono good luck since it's tied to zap cannon tho

[craggy pond]

spdef debuffers are just rarer in general

[unborn vault]

Chase?

[copper otter]

There's ss brendan too

Can't drop spdef

[unborn vault]

4/5 grid moment

[copper otter]

Yeesh

[vernal condor]

Hilbert on elek weak

[copper otter]

Ss brendan may be the best option for that criteria.

[scenic grotto]

A Sp. Def version of Colress would pair up nicely with SC Steven

[copper otter]

Has anyone documented HOW LONG b Rock tomb takes on Elio yet?

[unborn vault]

Speaking of Steven, do we have any good SSteven teams that get 1M without NC Rosa?

[ivory kestrel]

Dont know exact duration but can confirm: slooooow as mollasses

[copper otter]

Potentially Larry and Melony

Larry needs to be 2/5 for Numbing blow 4

But has rebuff to compensate.

Also has speed buffs to help with gauge

Yamero.

[unborn vault]

Barry Melony? Fr?

And I was about to try my usual Barry Redlax

[craggy pond]

ooo nice

I'll leave mine at this i think should be good for top 1k

[copper otter]

Don't make me grind again to keep top 500.

Stop.

[craggy pond]

😅

[copper otter]

Sorry, not you joltik, just the event in general

Pepple get too sweaty on the last day that my anxiety is hitting when i'm 80 places away from losing top 500

[craggy pond]

hopefully you'll manage to keep it!

a lot of the grinding might happen above you anyway

[copper otter]

I'm gonna stay up tonight if I have to go ham

[craggy pond]

with people already in the top 500 jockeying for top 100/20 etc

[copper otter]

I'm not losing my top 500

https://tenor.com/view/courage-the-cowardly-dog-eustace-mallet-angry-its-go-time-gif-4845999

[scenic grotto]

Thanks to Larry I was able to grab two or three more tickets from the triple stage event

[frail owl]

what's top 500 atm

[copper otter]

3.5 i would assume rn

[warped gulch]

Imagine grinding

[copper otter]

[civic island]

Only Red
Because of Jacq TM, posting video soon

[warped gulch]

[copper otter]

I'm about to search up that 2 mil run that oleana had.

I'm at 1.1 mil, but with nonexred Oleana

[scenic grotto]

Imagine Colress getting a grid expansion that allows his Screech to also debuff Sp. Def by -2

[copper otter]

That would waste more time for him

[unborn vault]

I'm starting to think that I probably can't reach 1M single psychic

I only have SSteven, no NC rosa, even my Sigilyph is not 5/5

[craggy pond]

it would but it does open up the option

[eternal pecan]

use Lucian instead then

[unborn vault]

My Lucian is 1/5

😦

Idk how

[scenic grotto]

Got any summon tickets you can spend?

[unborn vault]

No

Not on Sinnoh, anyways

There is any other way for Steven? I still got most supports, just not Rosa

[scenic grotto]

How about the combination of Larry and Melony?

[unborn vault]

I don't think that gets to 1M

Unless I am able to sync 6 times with Steven

Which...no way it happens right?

No sdef drops hurt

[normal parcel]

Ss Brendan, classic elesa, DC blue, DC wally (blue is just better)

None of those are AOE however

[scenic grotto]

It is unfortunate that there is no reliable Sp. Def debuffer

Larry can do -4 Defence (-6 if at 4/5)
SC Steven can do -6 Defence (-8 at 3/5 after he syncs)
Colress can do -♾️ Defence

[normal parcel]

NC blue can do -2

[scenic grotto]

Right, on entry I assume

[normal parcel]

On sync

But 3/5

[scenic grotto]

Oh yeah

[unborn vault]

I have nc blue but

Fine -2 sdef not enough

Even with the +20% sync damage

[normal parcel]

Chase can get to -6 single target but at 5/5

And in 6 moves

I mean if you need just -6 spdef 5/5 chase is better than classic elesa

However Elesa debuffs other stats too including speed

[unborn vault]

Does Larry buff sync too or just moves?

[normal parcel]

I think moves

[unborn vault]

That's a shame

[normal parcel]

Sadly setting up AOE spdef debuffs is pretty annoying

I guess only SS Hilbert can do it, but can only paralyze against electric weak

[unborn vault]

Volo I guess?

And yes 5/5

[normal parcel]

Dazzling gleam is slow

[unborn vault]

Hm that's annoying

Altough the +30% sync dmg is cool

[normal parcel]

And you don't want to rely on volo for paralysis

[craggy pond]

metronome roll moment

[normal parcel]

10% chance with the slowest move ever

Single target too

[craggy pond]

zap cannon isn't even guaranteed para is it?

[normal parcel]

Yes it is

[craggy pond]

oh nvm

[normal parcel]

But 10% chance to get it

[craggy pond]

yeah no 😅

[normal parcel]

There's 10% burn chance too, but doubt you want that

And I guess 3.33% poison chance

[craggy pond]

your best f2p bet is probably lucian (aoe 6 growls) or lodge cheren (single target three fake tears?)

but they don't compress status

[normal parcel]

None of those can paralyze

[craggy pond]

yeah but ig this is more for broke people who dont have a third rebuff/zone/circle/SEUN/SMUN/PMUN steroider

sync rusher bp barry or colress, special nuker, and special debufffer

idk if it's worth it or whether you're just better running off another support syncer though

unless your unit explicitly wants it for sync multiplier that is

[normal parcel]

I guess just running something to debuff spdef isn't worth unless your units has smarty pants

guys

i think we might need another damage cap

[thick holly]

NOT AGAIN

How many times are we breaking that meta

[scenic grotto]

Imagine not getting the 100th ticket just because of damage cap

[safe prawn]

There’s a reddit post where they were able to hit 999.999 twice with jacq in a run

But 5/5 is needed for the node of the 7 stats up every sync

[lusty galleon]

afaik, the cap is just visual

in case people wonder haha

[vernal condor]

No it's real

999,999 is a real damage cap, in DC at least

Since it only gives 999,999 pts

[true locust]

I did it 3 time 999k in one run

But this all wat can be done🤣

You get around 3.15m

He sync one time

[lusty galleon]

lol... wonder when they changed that the visual cap is the hard cap

[crude sandal]

What's the best use with Brendantios?

[true locust]

Nc rosa

[crude sandal]

Is Olympia stronger than SS Steven?

[true locust]

Depend on move lv

And steven caked or not

But mostly she do better

[normal parcel]

Steven doesn't have sync multipliers besides his innate

[scenic grotto]

SS Steven has a multiplier at 3/5
It’s one of the “higher the Sp. Attack, the more damage you do” skills

[normal parcel]

Nope it doesn't

Furious brain is for moves

Doesn't affects syncs

At most you can give him super powered 3

I mean Steven is basically a strike support

It should still sync harder than the average strike support with stuffs like haymaker

Rising tide is an higher tech innate

I guess when psychic AOE comes back he may finally have a time to shine (5/5 SS lana syncs harder, but I think it may outnuke 3/5 Lana and 3/5 Lusamine)

Sadly psychic AOE was 1st and people just used Lusamine dps

[scenic grotto]

Thanks for clarifying

For my first Psychic AoE I used the combination of Bianca, SS Steven, and Bede
Got just under 500k damage if I remember

[normal parcel]

In the end what unit scored best after Jacq?

Anni may?

[dry whale]

Alright, woke up to being rank 105. Had my secret weapon of "insane" poison skill gear that I thought was gonna make me jump another 100k turns out it was only 20k. So had to go a try the fix the only one I had some wiggle room in. So I had accidentally left the grid I had from the non rank version the Sync nuke version and I broke it. Did it again but this time fishing for defense crush and bam. Hopefully this is enough to stay in top 100.

For those curious Koga broke the million himself now before adding up poison damage

[vagrant ivy]

a bit of grinding on the poison stage later i was able to get myself 20k more damage

[copper otter]

Ok this'll secure top 500

[vernal orbit]

I see May does more damage than Steven on sync according to the damage doc, does it take into account the support cake as well?

[copper otter]

I'm 100% safe lmao

[pallid girder]

Anni May just has more sync multipliers.
SS Steven although being a tech is more like a striker when it comes to ST sync dmg bc he only has 1 sync multiplier in total.

[vernal orbit]

I see, thank you

[fluid anvil]

Attack form Steven is 100% just a 1-button set-up Striker with a Support cake, thats it.
him being "Tech" is only relevant in Rally for the roles

There are normal strikers with more sync damage than him - at minimum NC Red and NC Nate, probably a few more too

[vernal orbit]

it's just that I thought the support cake would give him more damage in the long run

[fluid anvil]

nope, real Tech syncs cant be beat in 3v1
also Field role would give more damage in DC than a support role

[vernal orbit]

alright I'll give the psychic dc a shot

[copper otter]

Ok, i'm happy with ranked DC. This top 500 was way more intense than HSE and Gauntlet combined.

[vernal orbit]

Appreciate u

[copper otter]

I need to know if there's a 1 mil run of 2/5 NC Nate.... i want to hit 1 mil there....

[true locust]

I just dont get why you use dawn and cress?

[copper otter]

Crisis countdown + Sprint/Support EXR

[true locust]

Bp barry would be better

Faster syns

More b moves use

[copper otter]

tried it, only got 700K from it

[true locust]

And sup ex buff too

[copper otter]

i tried a bunch of stuff from it, nothing worked well, this worked the best

[true locust]

You dont have bianca?

[bold star]

Missed the last sync crit but Ill take it

[copper otter]

i have her, but what would she even do?

[true locust]

Nc bianca? Mean not regular🙂‍↔️

[copper otter]

Yes, 3/5

[true locust]

Wat the fuck

[copper otter]

what would she even do that is faster?

[true locust]

Use nate bianca and corrles

[copper otter]

you still haven't explained what Bianca does

[true locust]

Set cirle

This boost unova damage

Wait

[copper otter]

i thought it was just sync damage?

[true locust]

You sync rush so have more b move

This may work too

Need test it also

Hyper got vid about clear it

But biance need have sup exr

For it work

[copper otter]

which i do have.

[true locust]

Ten try it

[copper otter]

but again, 2/5 EXR Nate can do it?

bc i can't candy rn

[true locust]

Hard tell you can test

Its free

If you get para luck:)

[copper otter]

[true locust]

Maybe get some more damage

Its rng bro

So can sneak 1 b move more

[copper otter]

resetted, lets see

[true locust]

Best check pins

Hyper vid should be in

He show perfect set up it

[shadow zealot]

Checked pins for wally battle

Why do we opt for cs2 on nate instead of super powered?

[civic island]

It's a more affordable option
If you got enough deluxe cookies you can go for SP3

[shadow zealot]

K sweet

[copper otter]

I'm going to commit a crime. @true locust

[true locust]

Lol how te heck you did not move befor?

This should give 1.1m
