Damage Challenge

[vernal condor]

diantha worse that gordie real

[copper otter]

Gordie stinky.

[normal parcel]

Probably I would have scored more with SP3, however cs2 is a flat 20% extra damage on the final max move

[cursive saddle]

can a 3/5 Gordie do it? Assuming I have decent gears

[crude sandal]

Wow, the game thinks they're so funny. I got TM MPR on Diantha then Barry's Heat Wave burns her

[copper otter]

As long as he's exed yes

[cursive saddle]

okay

[vernal condor]

it will be tight tho

[normal parcel]

Wondering if rock tomb is faster than tar shot

[copper otter]

It's not.

[cursive saddle]

Is the 2nd rock tomb miss part of the strategy

[civic island]

No

[copper otter]

Nothing is ever slower than rock tomb

[cursive saddle]

oh

[normal parcel]

B diamond storm is

[copper otter]

Diamond storm debuffs def which is faster than B leer

[cursive linden]

B Moves are exceptional

[copper otter]

Plus chip damage always nice

[normal parcel]

X speed is really annoying since most rock units have cakewalk

[copper otter]

Also you know what the slowest move in the game is right now?

B rock tomb

Takes 16 seconds to finish everything from it

[normal parcel]

Isn't 1st volo's b metronome?

[crude sandal]

It doesn't matter for Diantha, she needs to use Rock Tomb twice anyways whether it be with Trip Twice or not

[civic island]

Sure, with decent gears
Damage rolls were not at their best and there could be room for a SE max move
So a good 3/5 run can definitely get 1M with some effort

[copper otter]

Oh true actually but b metronome is variable due to rng

[normal parcel]

Matters for Gordie however

[cursive saddle]

yeah I'm noting down the turn order and will try to duplicate your run 1:1 first

[copper otter]

I did not need to use rock tomb

Sc steven covers that for her.

[cursive saddle]

I got 600k earlier with Urshifu/Coalossal/Meloetta so maybe this'll be better

[vernal condor]

how do you setup your diantha then

you have to attack for honing it

[copper otter]

Rock zone > b diamond storm then done. The def drops are worth it in order to save a leer from sc steven

[vernal condor]

but

sc steven covers that for her, to quote you lol

[copper otter]

Covers the speed drop from leer yes. But def drop and homing hit combined makes dianond storm more optimal to me at least

[crude sandal]

So who buffs her then?

[copper otter]

No one

She buffs herself

Trainer moves buff her too

[normal parcel]

What's the best Gordie score so far?

[copper otter]

1.8mil supposedly

[crude sandal]

It does, but I think it's better to save it after she syncs

[normal parcel]

With Gordie?

[copper otter]

I mean rock zone too which i saved her tm after she megaed

[copper otter]

Yes.

You need to sync at the last second for it

[normal parcel]

And who are the teammates?

[copper otter]

Idk.

Gordie is the only unit that has the highest tech multipliers, and first place rn is 1.8 mil

[crude sandal]

Someone said to me that skinny used SS Diantha, have I been lied to?

[normal parcel]

Isn't diantha stronger due to zone?

[copper otter]

Ss diantha as a support maybe

Like maybe ss diantha, gordie, sleep user?

But who would put seun 🤷‍♂️

[sacred flower]

disappointed but at least I tried

[long silo]

Looks good enough for an EXR Tech

Is this 7 sync

[sacred flower]

Elio was a disaster, his passive take like 30s

[copper otter]

16 seconds on B move

[sacred flower]

6 only

[long silo]

I guess the circle setup takes time

[copper otter]

Cirvle extension required tbh

Or.... chase/Melony

[sacred flower]

I have 1/5 Chase, usable?

[copper otter]

Yes

As long as exred

[sacred flower]

yeah, lemme try it

[pallid girder]

Ig until Skinny share their build we'll never know is it SS Diantha or Gordie reach 1.8M

[safe prawn]

It can be both + insane gears

I mean if you rolled opp stat conditions S move dmg for hop using galar as theme skill you are likely to be recycling hop’s gears

[long silo]

I'm really jealous about those gears

[safe prawn]

Which I’m not saying is what I did
I mean

[long silo]

Still can't get over that 1m Cyrus

[unique abyss]

if only gordie was 5/5

[long silo]

150 should push you

[crude sandal]

If I had to guess, it's probably sync spam with SS Diantha's TM

That's the only possible way for potential 1.8M

[scenic grotto]

Got 490k with non EX Gordie (too lazy to EX him)
It’s unfortunate that it’s less than I assumed he would get considering most EX Gordie get more than 900k so it would be understandable that non EX Gordie would get 600k (because 600k x 1.5 = 900k)

[copper otter]

Wstch it be something crazy like ss diantha, Colress, Paulo

[vast glade]

Using Gordie but can't go over 800k. Is Melony really a must or can I use NC Rosa instead?

[long silo]

Syncing with Rosa would waste more time

[tiny mist]

gordie better than ssdiantha for this challenge

?

[copper otter]

Yes

More damage output potential and 300 bp sync vs 168 bp sync

[crude sandal]

If you're willing to lose your mind and hope for TM MPRs, then SS Diantha might be better

[vernal condor]

me when i spread misinformation on the internet

https://youtu.be/S3q5k1_6M2g?si=Snt_6cT3PyQo-KuK

[tiny mist]

I crossed 1 mil with ssdiantha without relying on any MPr or stuff, but I get what u mean

I user her tm only once

[copper otter]

Interesting, 1.7 mil with nc blue/melony instead

[cosmic wing]

My SS Diantha is just 2/5 and I am not candying her I would just use Gordie instead

[vernal condor]

5/5 diantha with field should be getting a lot

[unborn otter]

Same

[copper otter]

Also, i never spread misinformation, they're not using SC Steven so

[cursive saddle]

@copper otter should I wait for lv150 Gordie or keep resetting

[vernal condor]

they asked if gordie is better than diantha and you said yes, nothing to do with steven

[cursive saddle]

I don't remember if all my sync crit

[crude sandal]

Ah yeah, genius. Blue has -2 defensive stat drops when he syncs, sets up Scholar Sync and paralyzes with Discharge

And also that +20% team sync move damage

[turbid vault]

@cursive saddle what are you using for attacks to get the sync multipliers

[cursive saddle]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012200073000&s0=5&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=17010201&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICRESExQVGhscHR4fICUmJyo&v1=025400083900&s1=4&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13016403&t1=4444&g1=AAECAwQFCw4VGCMlKSwu&v2=000000014300&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=15010301&t2=44444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFBgcJDA8RExQVFhkaHCUmJyg

[long silo]

Oh wow 8 syncs

[cursive saddle]

basically sing spam if you meant to ask that and not the grid

[lethal siren]

Wht to pick in gladion grid
Sync nuke tiles are lower
Bmove tiles are above

[crude sandal]

I knew that SS Diantha would be better, but I never expected the team to be like that

[scenic grotto]

I have 149 tickets at the moment (if I don’t get any more this Damage Challenge stage)
I wonder if it would be possible for me to be able to get 151 tickets across the following two stages (Fairy 3v3 and Ghost 3v1)

[turbid vault]

Which 2 out of sc steven, cake redlax, melony, bp barry, zapdos should I be using with gordie?

[pallid girder]

Isn't NC Blue + Melony one of the staple ppl use a lot?

[copper otter]

Oh. Fair,

[lethal siren]

Is this good?

Wally can setup his bmove

With discourage 2 and bmove

[cursive saddle]

ok 950k now

this is definitely doable at 3/5 Gordie

but lv 143 is weak

[crude sandal]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/11901/80100?s=3&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=13016403&g=AAECAwQFERQXGBobKCstLi8&x=true

[lethal siren]

Well this is also good

[crude sandal]

You do realize the extra energy used here right?

[lethal siren]

Yes

Just saw

Lol

-1 energy if 3/5

[crude sandal]

Funny thing here is that this is with 3/5 Diantha and using CS2

[lethal siren]

That ko tile have no use

But have to take for sync

[vast glade]

Thank you @warped gulch

I did it.

[lethal siren]

How inertia and cakewalk?

[safe prawn]

Posthaste9+scsteven b Move

[loud cedar]

pog

[thin wren]

is Gordie optimal rn?

unfortunately I can only get 1 mil with Gordie while ss diantha got me 1.2 mil

[pallid girder]

4 sync + max move all no crit... fuck this game.

[scenic grotto]

Looks like the three most used units are Gordie, SC Diantha, and Paulo

[prisma quail]

What's the Coalossal grid?

[normal parcel]

I used NC Rosa, didn't tried melony but I guess the gauge will be harsh

[prisma quail]

I'm having issues figuring out hot to max his stats and get multipliers

[thin wren]

do you have sc Steven

[normal parcel]

Not sure if SC Steven can get 1m

I think he barely can

But needs some luck I guess

No wait I meant lodge steven

SC is the dog

[thin wren]

sc Steven dps real

[crude sandal]

I know this question has been asked before, but is 3+/5 Melony important?

[thin wren]

sc Steven nuke real

[turbid vault]

Does PMUN help max move?

[normal parcel]

This is my best, but cs2, lv140 and I could have squeezed +25 sync BP with energy expansion

[crude sandal]

It doesn't in any way

[pallid girder]

No. Only regular move.

[normal parcel]

And I skipped seun for second Steven sync (but I barely made it so I guess getting an extra stealth rock was unfeasible)

[turbid vault]

Is Mystery Solved worth using for the speed only then?

[teal harness]

I need diantha teams
and video
Im trying diantha, colress and melony, but its not doing enough
not to mention the burn from heat wave

[normal parcel]

Mystery solved is quite slow and the speed is for 1 unit only but if it enables melony I guess is worth

[unique abyss]

[normal parcel]

NC Rosa doesn't have gauge issues but she's a bit slow

[sturdy pebble]

@teal harness Note: the video doesn't show grid

[normal parcel]

I mean relic song is time consuming despite sprint exr

But I guess exr Rosa is still faster than the average elio run

At least relic song buffs crit, so Gordie can have max crit without MPR on his tm

[unique abyss]

but he'll have 4atk

[normal parcel]

Berserker exists

[thin wren]

scroll up

[teal harness]

who can replace redlax here?

[normal parcel]

Berserker saves 1 tm usage, and that helps regardless

[pallid girder]

[normal parcel]

Melony can also buff crit, but I guess gauges will be pretty dire even with Gordie +6 speed

Maybe fast track melony can keep up

[pallid girder]

UElio win!

[teal harness]

can I use nc rosa instead?

[prisma quail]

Best I seem to be able to do so ar

[teal harness]

I dont have nc blue

[crude sandal]

Not sure

[unique abyss]

isn't it better to remove burn synergy and relocate orbs to attack nodes?

[normal parcel]

Burn synergy is useless

It only affects rock tomb

[crude sandal]

Yeah

[prisma quail]

Rip, I forgot

[teal harness]

I wanna try nc rosa,colress and diantha

[normal parcel]

Wondering if by getting like speed +40 Gordie could afford melony

But even at +10 it can't fit everything if you get the speed nodes

[copper otter]

Cool. Tried the Nc Blue melony comp for ss diantha, 2 non crits, and damage was abysmal.

Was at 500k at 1 min.

[tender patrol]

Why Melody over NC Rosa?

[copper otter]

Sing spam. And relic song bad

[crude sandal]

I almost got 10 sync buffs in

[tender patrol]

But I would still use Sing with Rosa

[copper otter]

You have to sync with her for sprint exr which forces you to use relic song. So bad.

[tender patrol]

Mhh I get it

[prisma quail]

Fixed the grid and gear.

Hit 1 million

[teal harness]

how is everyone dealing with heat wave burn?

[copper otter]

Not gonna stress anymore on dc, already hit 1.3mil

Just reset if damage dealer or sing user gets burned

[rain copper]

I hit the reset button

[prisma quail]

Heat wave hasn't burned my once, on any attempt

[thin wren]

Simply don't get burned

[true locust]

Melony cant get burn rest no issue

[crude sandal]

Well, if Diantha/Gordie gets burnt, then that means lesser damage for them

[scenic grotto]

If I am unable to get 150 tickets from Fairy weak and Ghost weak combined then I will have 300 tickets when datamine happens (May it be the 23rd or 26th)
So if there is one new DC unit each month, I will have the tickets to pull for them

[true locust]

Maybe first they need crit syncs😭

[thin wren]

ss diantha getting burn would nerf her sync damage tho

[true locust]

My gordie was burn and hit similar

Depend on rools prob

[thin wren]

diantha 5/5 moment:

[true locust]

I dont have diantha🤣

Im use f2p gordie haha

[thin wren]

Gordie is 2nd best option and close at least

[scenic grotto]

Add Gordie to the pile of gen/f2p units able to hit 1m

[pallid girder]

With premium teammates, but yeah 1M is 1M.

[turbid vault]

I don't think we should expect a new DC exchange unit every month

I was kind of hoping they stop adding any until we have long enough to 3/5 them all with the exchange

[thin wren]

we already knew this from last DC right?

[scenic grotto]

I hope there isn’t one every month but the trend of getting 1 one month after DC was added gives me bad vibes

[turbid vault]

Well that extra one was the 6th one right? It made ab even 3 sprint and 3 field I thought

[pallid girder]

We also got Evyln one month after BP units got introduced the first year.

[turbid vault]

We are already swimming in free units and they are adding more 4 and 5star BP. I doubt any more DC units for awhile

[pallid girder]

But the next bunch of new BPs were added next year.

[scenic grotto]

Fingers crossed that no new DC units are added until next anniversary during Pokemon day
But I will be prepared if they decide to go “let’s have players try to earn at least 300 tickets a month to keep up with the new DC units we will be adding”

[crude sandal]

I guess game really wants to balance my luck by burning one of my important units with Heat Wave

[vernal condor]

I was 1 move away from next sync

[neat raft]

seeing the teams, doesnt look like i can hit 1m ☠️

[cunning rock]

I'm caving and spending 1 yellow and 1 tech for SS Diantha at this point

[vagrant ivy]

is this dc that important

[cunning rock]

Not really. I've been waiting to upgrade SS Diantha for awhile now

[neat raft]

no lol

[slender venture]

I got close to 1.5 mil with SS Diantha first try

[cunning rock]

This DC is just reason for me to do it now.

[thin wren]

no gordie?

[neat raft]

i have, but no SC Steven lol

[thin wren]

redlax or nc blue?

[neat raft]

yeah i have both

[crude sandal]

Man, I hate not getting crits, but I'm no baby and not getting Soften Up

[thin wren]

nc Blue diantha melony has the highest rn

[neat raft]

i dont have Diantha lol

if not i wouldnt even worry

[thin wren]

Gordie nc blue and melony should get 1 mil

[true locust]

https://youtu.be/Ku3uvEoOt-k?si=BaQWIdTvdwVIXFdx

Should be 1,6-1,7m my run

Since his last sync did not crit

[crude sandal]

Had I not spam tapped, I would've probably gotten 1.9M+

[true locust]

But this set up is the best for it

[true locust]

Wat the hell melony 1/5?🥸

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/melony-pokemon-pokemon-sword-and-shield-spin-gif-26121907

[true locust]

Diantha is the best for it since have zone

Plus caked

[crude sandal]

And she comes with tools like Trip Wire and Lithic Acceleration

[true locust]

I could pull for diantha now but preff wait and get froma ani select it

[thin wren]

I just remembered that melony and gordie being good together this dc is funny cuz they are mother and sun

[true locust]

They galar theme🤣

Boost gordie

[thin wren]

they also don't get along in lore

so this is funny

[true locust]

Nc rosa is better if not this stupid sync swap forms

Wat steal time

[lethal siren]

Should be good as my second sync will be him?

[crude sandal]

But I'm gonna stop here because there's no ranking rewards

And as per usual, my main DD is using CS2

[thin wren]

ss glad, wally and bp barry?

[lethal siren]

Redlax?

[thin wren]

Where sync spammer

[crude sandal]

Just flexing my temporary glory

[lethal siren]

Sync countdown too much in that team

[neat raft]

that fucking barry with his burn at turn 1

[lethal siren]

Will try once

[thin wren]

not enough

[lethal siren]

Hmph
Will try once

[crude sandal]

I think this can go to 2M+ with the right skill gear and with SP3 Diantha

[lethal siren]

Diantha?

[crude sandal]

SS Diantha

[lethal siren]

Oh

Rock type

Wish we had move animation skip option

[crude sandal]

I buzzer-beater Barry at 36 milliseconds, but like I said a while ago, I spam tapped too much that I clicked Melony's TM by mistake

[icy pendant]

smh I think my best option is nonex Gordie for this one, Silver isn’t doing anything

[crude sandal]

If Silver's base role was sprint, then he might've had a chance

[safe prawn]

You might have the wrong grid btw

[pallid girder]

It's really a shame! 4.5 anni being the first Field "& Sprint" MFs would be so cool.

[safe prawn]

There’s also scorching sync 3 to be grabbed

[true locust]

This was his grid from some lg run🤣

Didnt check rest stuff haha

[pallid girder]

Still someone used NC Silver to hit 1M with pure DPS run.

[eternal pecan]

Do you need SC Steven to get 1 mil + with Gordie?

[icy scroll]

Oh my god, I am sad why I used Roark in Triple target DC earlier!

[pallid girder]

There're two different teams both hit 1M: SC Steven + Melony and Red + Elio.

[lapis yarrow]

What are the ideal gears to use?

[crude sandal]

Skill gear that has epeen with multipliers

[turbid vault]

Wait are we supposed to burn for the extra sync multiplier or Gordy or is it not worth the animations

[pallid girder]

For SC Steven + Melony team you must burn the opponent bc it's literally the only way to spam sing.

For Red + Elio's team, not burn give me 900k so I think it's actually doable with not burn build, but the one who record video did use burn.

[hollow whale]

For my SCteven/BP Barry core, I went with paralysis instead

Managed to get 1 million

[crude sandal]

Skinny got 2M

Probably got multiple para procs

[wooden tree]

what about SC Silver?

[crude sandal]

NC Silver can reach 1M. There's a Reddit post IIRC

[lapis yarrow]

I guess this team is a no go lol

[copper otter]

Looks like the sync grid is incorrect

Or you're failing to burn

Swap barry out for melony

[pallid girder]

Did you drop speed? The dmg seems you didn't do that.

[true locust]

I try your grid idea score less🤣

Refund

[wooden tree]

i hate this stupid game mode

[eternal pecan]

Isn’t Elio better for the attack buffs?

Or Melony for theme skills

[copper otter]

Does Gordie not increase his stats well?

Because if he can, Melony woild just be better

[eternal pecan]

His tm buffs his attack by 2

[copper otter]

Ok so MPR. Ez

Melony it is

[eternal pecan]

I don’t think there’s enough room on a grid

For that

[lapis yarrow]

My first team was Melony, Gordie and SC Steven..faired better lol

[pallid girder]

Red + Melony is always gauge nightmare.

[eternal pecan]

Definitely not enough room lol

And Elio can buff +4 attack

So it’s perfect

[lapis yarrow]

Should I try Elio with Redlax or SC Steven?

[eternal pecan]

SC Steven

Dang

So close yet so far

[lapis yarrow]

Idk what I'm doing wrong to not match other people's scores 😩

[long silo]

Anyone knows how is Diantha dropping -3 Spd on Barry in one Rock Tomb

[covert geyser]

oh right

Sc steven

[vernal condor]

trip twice in grid

[long silo]

Oh shoot I was looking for yellow tiles

That's why I missed it

Thanks

lol this actually lets me grab flame proof

Perfect

Thanks. Now to retry

[fluid anvil]

so you have to use Rock Tomb 3 times to get Diantha to 6 Atk ?

[long silo]

In the vid, they used two Rock Tomb and one Zone

[lethal siren]

What's the third pair with gordie and melony?

[sacred flower]

almost there

[covert geyser]

That wasn't so bad

[sacred flower]

maybe I could use Elio primarina since he is an Alola

for the circle

[icy scroll]

Wdym?
That's very good!
Lol

[west creek]

Hey guys so i want you to know how much i hate today's challenge

(i did 1mln in the end, with 2 miss from opponent, a refresh from snorlax, 2 b moves and 4 crit sync under rock zone from Diancie and no one was burned)

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/diantha-pokemon-pokemon-xy-gif-25978715

[loud cedar]

skinny with the 2.2 mil with ss diantha

jesus

[west creek]

In the end

[lethal siren]

Replacement for steven?

[lapis yarrow]

Can you share you grids and gear?

[covert geyser]

I'ma be real I have no idea. He's the only one I know from the top of my head that can debuff speed and defense. You could replace with ss Diantha if you want but idk how good is that

[covert geyser]

One sec

[fluid anvil]

top Diantha score now is 2.2M, I assume its with nc blue + Melony
SSR Cynthia should get something similar for Ghost 3v1 next week. They both use the same best team and you should still be able to get 7 syncs (just barely) for Ghost with Melony sing spam. Maybe will require some para rng.
But you also have the 2 self-SEUNs for extra damage. Not to mention Cynthias sync base power isnt mega-reduced
Could actually reach 2.4-2.5M if someone has godly Sinnoh/Ghost gear

[lethal siren]

Oh

[covert geyser]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/25400/83900?s=5&l=140&r=6&p=0&a=13016403&g=AAECAwQFBhEVGBojJSkqLC4v

Melony has fast track 2 and is only there to spam sing. 1 TM MPR for gordie and hope first move from Barry gets a burn from Gordie to enable the sing spam. Hope for no burns from heat wave.

Steven has Head start 1. Used both SEUN on syncs 2 and 3 on Gordie

+80 atk from skill gear to Gordie.

[lethal siren]

Is there any video?

For diantha 2.2M

[crude sandal]

Let's see if Skinny will upload it

[lethal siren]

Ok

[long silo]

Really hard for me to do 8 syncs

[long silo]

I tried to replicate this but I ran out of gauge way quicker

But the vid showed no sign of even slowing down

[true locust]

Skinny dont upload since she hope some will be on ranked and try again

But one issue others like me now already all🤣

All about dc how need play

[fluid anvil]

Lithic Acceleration 3 helps gauge a lot

[long silo]

I was checking that out, but I'm not sure what I need to sacrifice

Probably Flameproof but that will add another layer of RNG

[vernal condor]

bruh you're really running flameproof

[long silo]

Okay ye figures it's that lol

[true locust]

And on this nao vid

[long silo]

In my initial clear I did not have it

[true locust]

Its one mistake

[long silo]

I only added it now after I used Trip Twice

[true locust]

You first need put sleep

Then use speed

Then para

Then have more time for moves

[long silo]

Okay let me try again

[crude sandal]

You need to have Lithic Acceleration gridded on Diantha

[true locust]

Flinch is way more longer animation then sleep insta

[crude sandal]

That's what's also giving the gauges

[long silo]

Ye I checked that grid out earlier but was not sure how I'll grab it

[true locust]

I never run off gauge whit nc blue and melony on 6 speed

[lapis yarrow]

Do you sync with Melony or no?

[crude sandal]

Pretty sure it's something like this
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/15802/71902?s=5&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=13016403&g=AAECAwQFDA0QERIUFR4jJjQ1&x=true

[true locust]

You always sync whit support first

[long silo]

Thanks all. Now to go through 6 syncs w/o Soften Up

[crude sandal]

I managed

[merry horizon]

Unforunatly i dont have SS Diantha at a higher move lvl, so paulo was my best bet, do you think 5/5 Gordie or him would be better?

[crude sandal]

What move level is your SS Diantha?

[neat raft]

Fuck this stage, wasted enough time on this

[merry horizon]

1/5 😦

[lethal siren]

He burned my diantha at last

Could have been 1m

Well ig this is it for me

Used some gears

My diantha grid

[vernal condor]

@warped gulch who needs a 2/5 Steven anyway

[crude sandal]

So Skinny did the team, but only managed 1.29M
https://youtu.be/RL-W8uHoygc?si=4U0VPbNRGtYCXrlr

[vernal condor]

Tight af lmao

[lethal siren]

Saving if I want to do it in sometime

[warped gulch]

Not comfy as 2/5

[hollow whale]

I e never hated 80% chance more until DC lol

[warped gulch]

2/5 i still have time to use 2 Steven’s Tm

[lethal siren]

I want sc steven

[warped gulch]

Oh you gave Melony Pinpoint Entry 2 too

[lethal siren]

I hope I get him in 100 sync pair

[vernal condor]

I was trying to roll for speedy entry

But I got that instead lol

Fastest sing spam you've ever seen

[crude sandal]

Does skinny have the highest score achievable for this DC?

[sacred badger]

Hell yeahhhhhhhh

Gmax gets seun too lol

5 or 6 seun? Jeez that was nice

Kewl

[robust meteor]

so Gordie's better than 3/5 NC Silver for this DC?

[glad kraken]

yes

[crude sandal]

Miles

[wooden tree]

Weird

[glad kraken]

not really

silver's a striker nuke and gordie has a lot of multipliers

[crude sandal]

Silver is base striker instead of basr sprint

[azure hornet]

Not candying SC Steven so I'll take this

[thick stump]

Alright so I dont have ss diantha or sc steven, whats my ideal team for gordie

[azure hornet]

I just posted it

[cosmic wing]

in 3v1, tech nuke would usually win unless your set up takes too long to achieve

[thick stump]

keyword 'i don't have sc steven’

[glad kraken]

anyway i fucking love heat wave burns such a fair and balanced mechanic

[azure hornet]

I'm blind

Uhh Redlax or Larry then

[thick stump]

Redlax it is

[crude sandal]

I'm sure VGC players will agree

[glad kraken]

i was on an actual good run, diantha MPRed her TM, Red MPRed his, heat wave burns colress and diantha

[west creek]

Fr fr

[wooden tree]

whats the gordie grid?

[west creek]

The game wasn't even started 😭

[real wind]

I'm still waiting for the Luckiest of the Unluckiest (3 man Burned by Heat Wave)

[glad kraken]

if that happens to me i will be complaining about it dw

[real wind]

10% Burn Chance

[glad kraken]

plus aoe penalty

[wooden tree]

This is stupid

[vernal condor]

yeah the run is very specific with 1/5 steven

i'll upload it

[wooden tree]

What does more candies on Steven change?

[vernal condor]

team speed on entry and seun mpr

[thick holly]

Yeah that's easier than Melony...

[wooden tree]

Im gonna go Barry

I always do better with Barry

[thick holly]

Melony needs speed

and the fact i struggled

WHILE HAVING +6 FUCKING SPEED

I can candy nc rosa tomorrow so i guess i can work from there with her charging inflictions

[crude sandal]

Is your Diantha 3/5?

[thick holly]

yes

3/5
150
Field cake

also surprised i don't see it but...

[glad kraken]

Okay, got my run

[crude sandal]

Why not grid Lithic Acceleration

[thick holly]

Y'all know that Selene and Elio's gear is super fucking useful for this right ?

[thick holly]

They gave us some good fucking gears right before

like...

[thick holly]

because otherwise i can't grid trip twice 9

[thick holly]

nice run there wow

[glad kraken]

Id probably drop tough cookie

[thick holly]

i use it for the final b diamond storm

[crude sandal]

Why Tough Cookie?

[thick holly]

for the last b diamond storm

[crude sandal]

It's not worth it

[glad kraken]

Youre not really getting defense rises

[crude sandal]

Yeah

[glad kraken]

And having more consistent gauge is more important imo

[thick holly]

ah that does almost 1m

[thick holly]

But sc steven seem to be doing better there

[true locust]

If got 2 mp from steven should be 1,8m or more

Miss for last sync super up and max move

[thick holly]

How do you guys even do with him

cuz Gordie sounds like a pain to setup

Melony being so slow

[crude sandal]

So tell me, is SS Diantha or is Gordie better?

[vernal condor]

diantha

[crude sandal]

Just wondering seriously

[thick stump]

wow i hate this dc lol

[thick holly]

Barry really got the best shit to be annoying

Heat wave to burn

Speed buff to fuck with your need for speed debuffs

[long silo]

I like how it takes more than 10 turns if you want to proc something at 30%, but the moment you do one single sync, boom 20% no crit

[crude sandal]

That's the risk I took in me getting my 1.8M

Also getting lucky with 1 para proc

[long silo]

I'll do it another day if I can. Besides that one, my responses feel slow enough I lose more time lol

[crude sandal]

And clutching at 36 milliseconds

[true locust]

Most para runs need 1-2 off them

[left vine]

Alright done for the day, funny how mother and son are meta this round

[unkempt briar]

are there any good alternatives for sc steven?

[normal parcel]

Maybe something like exr SS diantha, or maybe exr 3/5 dojo Gloria

I guess classic elesa may work

However SC Steven is optimal

Rebuffs, debuffs and seun

[normal parcel]

Can melony keep up with gauge?

[sacred flower]

I knew she's worth my pity, finally got 1m

[unkempt briar]

damn alright, i think im doomed with this one then, i dont have of the characters you listed. thanks though!

[sacred flower]

if no SC Steven, you can use Colress

[unkempt briar]

don't have him either

im kinda lacking all the good ones haha

[shrewd fractal]

can you share the strat

i was gonna 3/5 her anyway

[sacred flower]

head start/adrenaline on Redlax and Elio
first rotation is: Body Slam (must para) > Acid, then Sing > Acid until first sync

just spam Elio's sing until Red's sync, then sing, Selene's TM, Red's TM before Selene sync

basically just the same as Melony strat but I use Elio since he is an Alolan for Selene's circle

if Elio gets burn, reset
if Selene gets burn in first heat wave, reset
Red is whatever since he only uses TM

I tried Chase 1/5 but he's not really great as his circle is less than Red's SEUN

[shrewd fractal]

ah thanks for this

[left vine]

nope, but it's enough if you just need a mil

enough time to just spam whatever tms you have for that last sync

it's just the last cycle that she can't sustain really

[icy pendant]

my realistic ceiling without EX Gordie is what, 700k ish? I’ll have to settle with that unless I double candy SS Diantha

and I’m very hesitant to spend candies with NC Hop a week away

[orchid crescent]

i doubt its worth spending 2 candies for 30 or so DC tickets lol

[thick stump]

I barely made it better

I'm only a few seconds away from one more sync

[thick stump]

i did it‼️

hs1 gloria, cs2 gordie, speedy entry 2 melony

[tender patrol]

Damn this was hard

[rose basalt]

grid for diantha?

[nova remnant]

what's the highest score atm?

[true locust]

Miss 1 steven mp for super for g max

So over 1,8m can be

And this whit crit2🫢

So 2m whit super power 3 it should hit around whit max rolls

[rose basalt]

done

[ivory kestrel]

Ughhh

[vernal condor]

This is sad

[ivory kestrel]

There there… and despite being burned! I’m done with this DC. Don’t want to invest 2 candies into my 1/5 SS Diantha for now

[glad kraken]

it really do be like that sometimes

[true locust]

Gordie is not bad for it

[ivory kestrel]

Time for LG streak again, spent around 15 candies getting SP3 on Gordie

[true locust]

Im not gona waist sp 3 on him

[thick stump]

CS2 is better since it affects max move

SP3 doesn't

[cloud timber]

lol

did better than kukui at least

melony doesn't come close to having enough gauge even with ft1 and +6 spe

kabu is fine for physical setup if burn isn't an issue

no speed buff tho

ig sonia best

[wise mulch]

Gordie can give rock type rebuff to enemies?

[normal parcel]

Not sure crit 2 is even worse, considering that is a 20% flat boost to the final gmax while super 3 is just an overall 4% boost to the sync

I mean compared to cs2

[normal parcel]

Only fire

[wise mulch]

Ohhh I thought rock too

[woven fjord]

Made it.

[wise mulch]

Okei thank you

[wise mulch]

Amazing

[normal parcel]

Can 1/5 Steven work, or the speed on entry is mandatory for melony gauges?

[true locust]

Not sure about speedy entry ? You can always use steven other tmp on gordie. The best for melony is pinpoit entry

[fluid anvil]

goddamn, Diantha + SS Wally + BP Barry is so slow for Fairy 3v3
i only got 5 syncs.

[rare apex]

exr'd wally?

[fluid anvil]

no. though you kinda might want to give all damage syncs to Diantha for her AoE ?

is it possible my 1/5 NY Lisia will be better than 5/5 Diantha?

[lusty galleon]

free seuns after 1st sync for the next ones

and the last HB...

[rare apex]

hmm. The -6 sync cd that wally offers (when caked of course) is making me think otherwise

plus getting -4 spa for diantha's multiplier before she starts syncing helps her damage

same goes for rebuff

[cloud timber]

seemed ideal tbh

didn't watch pykuo's vid tho

prob not outdoing paulo without ex (or having sc steven)

[floral lark]

337k with Classic Red and both Diancies.
I think that's the best I've ever gotten against a single opponent.

Red and Diantha are fully invested, but SC Hilda is base.
So I guess I could swap Hilda for someone else, I mostly wanted to try her out after getting her recently.

[hearty canopy]

Is Gordon really outdamaging NC Silver here?

Gordie

[fluid anvil]

by a lot

[fiery rose]

so today is what, throw paulo/ss diantha at it?

[vernal condor]

it's gordie, diantha, or very specific selene or silver teams

[lusty galleon]

if your silver team got to +3M, then it can do this one

[pallid girder]

Gordie is a tech. Tech has WAY higher single target sync dmg than striker in general.

[vernal condor]

that's literally the sync spam strat tho

[fallen trail]

gordie has one of the silliest nukes of any gen pool

up there with lucian

[vernal condor]

up there with courtney too since she got 1M lol

[fallen trail]

makes up for their nonexistent dps

courtney still has mega penalty but she can set her own zone so it kinda makes up for it

[pallid girder]

I just find it weird that ppl still haven't figure this out after so many DC.

[forest forge]

Ramming speed does not affect sync move damage right?

[fallen trail]

yes

[pallid girder]

The only way a tech lose to a striker in 3v1 DC is either it's bad inherently like Grant or it has something which let it lose too much time like LSteven

[forest forge]

Yes as in it does or yes as in that’s correct

[vernal condor]

that's correct

[pallid girder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ijYEGMx0Mk
OH Gordie with pure f2p/genpool lineup 1M.

[forest forge]

How is lisia > gladion then

[fallen trail]

3/5 dc nemona let's try this in 4 months when this stage comes back in rotation

[forest forge]

Not pulling for nemona the unit is not good enough before anniversary units to pull immediately

[cloud timber]

pykuo has 1m gordie/sonia/melony

only thing i redeemed so far is 3/5 dc gladion which works great in rally and lg

[fallen trail]

i have all 5 of the original dc pairs 1/5

get em all 1/5 is my priority

so i'll grab blue next

[copper otter]

I could get them all now if i wanted to

[pallid girder]

Oh they did 1M eventually! That's cool! Last time I'm aware it's 900k.

[cloud timber]

oh shit i misremembered

[vernal condor]

yeah it's 900k

[cloud timber]

brain rounded up for some reason

[vernal condor]

this but i dont have marnie instead

because marnie is trash ngl

[lone plover]

How does this look

Probably should replace redlax with smth but idk what

Would it be crazy to go gordie diantha steven

I feel like my move gauge gonna be nonexistent

[vernal condor]

you don't have a spammer in this team

also please use your stamina

[lone plover]

whats a spammer

[vernal condor]

like sing spam or twave/stun spore spam

with this team you're probably not going further than 500k

[lone plover]

replace redlax with meloetta then?

[fallen trail]

spam is important for single target

melony would be better

[vernal condor]

sing spam needs the opponent to already have a status

diantha and steven cant apply one

[fallen trail]

oh duh

[lone plover]

wait so what does that do?

[vernal condor]

did you never see the strat

[fallen trail]

[lone plover]

i have not played for a while

[lone plover]

ok

[vernal condor]

https://discord.com/channels/583120259708616715/1261142582688223233

[lone plover]

btw is melony ex needec

[vernal condor]

check this

[pallid girder]

You should watch few videos before trying.

It's massively different from how you usually play this game.

[lone plover]

i seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thats interestings

[dense citrus]

Not sure.. would SEUN would be better spendt on Gordie for a normal hit, or max move (at the end) ..?

[vernal condor]

normal hit as in rock tomb ?

[dense citrus]

Ye

[fallen trail]

uhh max move easily

[vernal condor]

i dunno, is it better to spend the seun on a 40 or 400 power move

[dense citrus]

Uh... right ye

Not sure I can improve that by much then.. maybe if I skip steven sync in favor of 1 more Gordie sync this time around..

[vernal condor]

wait

why did you sync with steven

[fallen trail]

huh why are you syncing with steven

he is a tech normal pair

his sync has 0 benefit

[vernal condor]

my guess is it's a 3/5 steven with adrenaline 2, but even then

[dense citrus]

Yep.. was going kinda close with time first few attempts

Could practise it a bit

[vernal condor]

It definitely is close

[dense citrus]

Some sync dmg on pin gear could help me but I'm out of feathers and stamina for them...

Should really grind some LG for cookies tho..

[lone plover]

would gordie be better than dianta for this

[west creek]

Diantha fn has the most points

The top 1 in the world fn uses diantha if i'm not wrong

[fallen trail]

diantha needs steep investment i think

for max potential

[pallid girder]

It's not really appealing to me for trying harder if I already break 1M tho.
Unless I'm 1~2 tickets away from a new DC pair.

[fallen trail]

tryharding single target sucks lol

[west creek]

Me 3/5 Dahlia when each Water stage comes out:

[fallen trail]

wait aoe fairy stage when ss nemona comes out...

[lone plover]

like 5/5 or smth?

[fallen trail]

guys we can use this to predict anni units...

[vernal condor]

[fallen trail]

yea

[lone plover]

damn

[fallen trail]

3/5 can score decently

but max score is 5/5

[vernal condor]

on anni it's gonna be dragon and next is water
giratina and manaphy confirmed

[west creek]

Ill skip her cuz i spent 36.6k gems on Nihilego, but... Ill just use Magearna lol

[pallid girder]

Diantha needs a different team to work. The current best is NC Blue + Melony.

[fallen trail]

also needs ex role

[lone plover]

is nc blue zapdos

[west creek]

Yes

[lone plover]

hmm

do i need 3/5 nc blue?

have yet to get the last support candy

[fallen trail]

tbh no

[west creek]

I suppose yes, tho i don't really know if 2/5 is enough

You need paralysis

[fallen trail]

i mean you should 3/5 him for other reasons but he gets hostile environment at 2/5

[lone plover]

alr

[lone plover]

how necessary is it

[fallen trail]

for diantha pretty necessary

[lone plover]

damn

[fallen trail]

having to refresh zone so often hurts her

[lone plover]

imma just try without

is it really worth getting her ex role

[west creek]

Yes

[lone plover]

like in general

ok

[pallid girder]

She really fears to run out her zone, so any ways to keep the zone up is a massive upgrade for her.

[lone plover]

have they released any better rock zone setters yet?

[icy pendant]

nope not really

[lone plover]

hmm

[icy pendant]

she's probably the best recipient of field exr

[lone plover]

oh rlly?

spent my field ex thing on red

[icy pendant]

her kit is overreliant on having zone up and at base she has major uptime issues

[pallid girder]

Errr UElio this month is a good rock zone setter. They just have a different approach.

[wise mulch]

How big Elio and Selene damage for this DC?

[vernal condor]

1M

[wise mulch]

Wow nice XD

[vernal condor]

like, barely 1M (from quaggles)

[wise mulch]

Oh need some investment

[icy pendant]

well yeah any 1m clear is going to need some investment

[wise mulch]

I thought 3/5 enough at first xD

[icy pendant]

elio and selene just happen to rely on their expansion tiles more than most

elio probably needs 4/5 more than selene does for zone extension

[pallid girder]

UElio also helps NC Silver to reach 1M. It's 1/5 Elio btw :3
https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/1er2r1z/elio_is_nc_silvers_best_friend_now_1_m_without/

[icy pendant]

wait a clear I can do that should score better than nonex gordie

[wise mulch]

Whoaaaa Silver so strong

[icy pendant]

me when the last sync doesn’t crit:

[hollow whale]

The most hated 80% chance lol

[icy pendant]

and not being able to ex means I either care more or less than usual and I can't tell which one it is

[hearty canopy]

What’s the benefit to elio over melony? The gauge refresh?

[cloud timber]

propelling move yeah

typical mgr passives don't proc on failed uses but that one does

but it doesn't proc every single time which makes it faster than bp barry/colress

also his buffs help too

[pallid girder]

In general Red is only optimal with Elio bc you would never have enough gauge w/o +6 team speed.

[hearty canopy]

Interesting, so do I EX 2/5 Elio or 5/5 Melony? Have Barry, Rosa and Red EX(R) already

[cloud timber]

melony is priority for sure

elio doesn't gain much from his grid so move level hardly matters

[tired narwhal]

Who is my best pair for this?

[cloud timber]

gordie by far

[tired narwhal]

Aight cool

Usual side pairs like melony and NC blue?

[copper otter]

No actuallt

You're burning mid, so buff gordie more with SEUN

[cloud timber]

sc steven is ideal if you have him, over nc blue

[tired narwhal]

Ahh alright so like 5/5 red snorlax

I don’t have Sc Steven unfortunately

[cloud timber]

redlax doesn't have enough gauge for melony

even with +6 spe gordie

sonia ends up being pretty good then

clear sheet in the pins will have all the info you need

[tired narwhal]

Alright I got Sonia

[cloud timber]

video and grids

[tired narwhal]

But she doesn’t give SEUN right

[cloud timber]

correct

she carries the gauge and has efficient defense debuffs and maxes out gordie's attack and crit without needing mpr

[tired narwhal]

Alright cool I’ll try

[pallid girder]

Can you feel my AGONY!?

[west creek]

It seems we all love Barry's stage

[sacred badger]

yeah i caan feel it ;-;

[tired narwhal]

where in pins are grids/strats for this damage challenge

couldnt find em

[pallid girder]

I crited every syncs but didn't crit the fxxxing max move!

[cloud timber]

right there in the center

[tired narwhal]

word, i swear i couldnt see it

thanks

[sullen zephyr]

Is melony's burn+sing faster than barry's stun spore?

[rain copper]

No

Burn animation costs extra time

It's just the second best option can inflict a non sleep status by himself

[sullen zephyr]

Hmmmm, is scorching sync 3 worth the burn?

I'm using gordie here

[cloud timber]

faster than burn + stun spore

gordie burn to set up melony sing is the standard strat

[pallid girder]

They're prob thinking no burn build with BP Barry.

I've seen SC Steven + Melony reached 1.7M, while I just never seen SC Steven + BP Barry so maybe this answer the question.

[cloud timber]

yeah no successes reported with bp barry

[sullen zephyr]

That's a lot less damage than i expected with 2.3 sync multiplier

[hollow whale]

What do you mean by success?

[cloud timber]

don't remember seeing many bp barry clears or if there were they weren't competitive with melony

[sullen zephyr]

Gordie how did your 1st sync deal less than 100k with 4 sync buffs and 2.3 multiplier and innate

[cosmic wing]

Gordie hates you I guess

[hollow whale]

lol

[sullen zephyr]

Gordie bro stop missing your crit that aint stylish

[sacred badger]

my first sync with gordie was 200k o.o

around 190k to 200k

[sullen zephyr]

Ok on 2nd try his first sync did 130k

How do you even reach 200k

Does staraptor always start with heatwave?

[pallid girder]

Yes. The DC battles are scripted.

[sullen zephyr]

Wtf staraptor stop using heatwave and hit me

https://tenor.com/view/want-you-to-do-it-gif-20550570

20k max move

Dc nemona gaming

Melony spamming sing can rush a sync cycle in 15 seconds. That's fast.

[thin wren]

is this the highest fully f2p one yet?

[sullen zephyr]

Nah there's a 1M in the doc, same comp tho

With 5/5 gordie

[sacred badger]

4/5 gordie?

[sullen zephyr]

Mine is 3/5

[tired narwhal]

Is the highest I can get with melony, Sonia, gordie 3/5 (no one has any special lucky skill that speeds up sync) like 600k?

[sullen zephyr]

Maybe i can squeeze in more damage if i grid nemona

[sullen zephyr]

Pykuo did 900k with that team

[tired narwhal]

But with 3/5 gordie?

And no lucky skill that speeds up sync?

[sullen zephyr]

Uhhh not sure

Check the docs

[tired narwhal]

Yeah I did, I think I saw gordie be 5/5 in every run

That’s why I wasn’t sure how much I can get with 3/5

[sullen zephyr]

That might just be because they can't lower the move level

[tired narwhal]

That’s true

[sullen zephyr]

I don't think there's a lot of difference between 3/5 and 5/5 unless it's a pokefair unit with 5/5 grid expansion

[tired narwhal]

I copied the dudes exact move cycle and got 400k less damage lol. Guess I’m doing something wrong. Besides not having an entry lucky skill

[acoustic chasm]

Go ahead, Barry, burn Gordie

[sullen zephyr]

Did you miss any crits

Those are some nice gears

[tired narwhal]

I probably missed some. I’ll keep tryin

[stoic crest]

What is the best pair for this? Please ping me

[sullen zephyr]

Probably 3/5 silver or 3/5 gordie

[stoic crest]

And use red lax with sc Steven?

And silver

[sullen zephyr]

You want a status spammer

[last stream]

how did skinny get 2.3 mil

[pallid girder]

NCSilver without UElio prob won't work.

[sullen zephyr]

If you use redlax then melony may work

[stoic crest]

I got a million with triple rock using silver....but now it's single.

[last stream]

https://youtu.be/9KV1OOKdMu4?si=7RYkoTY-243oxX4l

[pallid girder]

Currently the only 1M clear w NC Silver is with UElio + SC Steven.
UElio compress too many thing that I don't think Red is enough to replace.

[stoic crest]

What grids?

My Steven is 1/5 but I have candy

[last stream]

idt you need to candy steven

[stoic crest]

What is the Lapras grid so empty?

[last stream]

nothing else in the grid matters

[cursive linden]

Because Melony only wants to spam sing

Prob speed

Then again, she doesn't have much speed grid so

[stoic crest]

Oh

So just sing endlessly

[cursive linden]

Yes.

[sullen zephyr]

Imma slap flameproof on melony

[last stream]

I also have 5/5 exr ssDiantha +10E... so how did Skinny sync like 3 more times?

[sullen zephyr]

Nvm girlie does 3k on sync

[acoustic chasm]

Uhhh... why is Gordie only doing like 150k~200k per sync?

All crits too

-6 speed on foe, +6 speed on Gordie

I can replace Jasmine with Nemona but then Gordie will only be able to sync 3 times

[sullen zephyr]

Fuck it, gordie you're lv150 now

[last stream]

you set him as the tank?

i'm assuming 3 syncs because you started with 4 buffs?

[sullen zephyr]

Why tf does he have gritty 3 the whole time?!

[acoustic chasm]

Jasmine, then 4x Gordie
With SEUN and burn too

[pallid girder]

3 sync by Gordie is enough to reach 1M, as shown by others.

[last stream]

right grid equipped? I've done that ._.

[pallid girder]

Need some -def though. -3 is the bare minimum for Red + Elio.

[acoustic chasm]

Yes

[last stream]

did you get off a max move?

[acoustic chasm]

I'll try Nemona

Max Move is only like 25k

[last stream]

in pykuo's video he interrupted Staraptor with sleep twice before burning

[acoustic chasm]

Yeah but he got 4 syncs as well (last one was over 400k I dunno how lol)

[pallid girder]

I learnt that the outcome of -3 def 3 sync = -0 def 4 sync in my run.

[acoustic chasm]

Oh so even with trained body 5 it's still that good?

[last stream]

It should only be a 22.5% difference at -6.

[sullen zephyr]

How tf did i manage 6 syncs

[acoustic chasm]

How much difference does the rock theme skill make (if I pair him with Nemona)

[last stream]

you don't need burn synergy

[acoustic chasm]

It's on the way to trip up 9

[pallid girder]

Another possibility is less roll of crit ig.

[last stream]

I'm just looking at pykuo's grid, he didn't use trip up

[acoustic chasm]

Because SC Steven debuffs speed

[last stream]

hmmm, how many seups did you use?

[stoic crest]

No clue but it's not working but it's decent....I guess?

[pallid girder]

This is -4 def 3 sync w CS2 Gordie.

[stoic crest]

I thought I did what the video said

But I don't understand the video it's too fast and I can't remember what it's doing

[acoustic chasm]

3 out of 4

Jasmine MPR moment

[last stream]

after setup, you sing, and at countdown 1 you use steven's trainer move to increase the sync move

[acoustic chasm]

Hm, I thought 2 supp EX was only worth it when syncing 4 or more times with the nuker

[pallid girder]

Burn really needs to gain us more pts considering how much time it costs.

[acoustic chasm]

I'm gonna try with Nemona then, for -def and rock zone instead of stupid SEUN MPR

[stoic crest]

The super effective up?

Or the other one?

And setup is tackle and leer from Steven, and just sing right?

[icy pendant]

1/5 sc steven only seun's the last 2 gordie syncs

[stoic crest]

Gordie does nothing except sync

[icy pendant]

gordie needs to click rock tomb twice to maximize cakewalk still (or once if you use trip up 9, in that team though gordie doesn't have energy for trip up)

[pallid girder]

Sometimes Gordie is not ready for the 2nd sync in my run, bc I slept the opponent once or twice to prevent early burn so no enough speed buff.

[acoustic chasm]

i c

[stoic crest]

Oh

[icy pendant]

sc steven for me also tackled twice while no evasion was active for teamwide speed

[stoic crest]

So set up is tackle, leer, sing, and rock tomb?

Then Lapras sync first

[icy pendant]

my setup with 2 HS1 was:
tackle tm sing with sleep on heat wave
b leer and tm queued before the requeue x speed all
tackle third tm queue, then melony syncs
b leer rock tomb sing
tackle rock tomb sing
b leer then sing spam and barry should be -6 speed

used mael's video for reference which used ppe2 melony which I don't necessarily understand

[stoic crest]

What is hs1?

[icy pendant]

head start 1

[stoic crest]

Oh I don't have that I don't do the gauntlet legendary thing....

[glad kraken]

Iirc they wanted speedy but rolled that instead and just decided to stick with it

[stoic crest]

Thanks

[glad kraken]

Missing sing is a little slower than just having it fail anyway iirc

[stoic crest]

I'll probably just leave it alone, I don't have time until the weekend to try this more indepth ☹️

[icy pendant]

speedy entry makes sense because melony can be a bit cumbersome speedwise but mael's clear has an ugly singlequeue on first cycle which hs1 shaves

[stoic crest]

What is the best for the fairy area?

[pallid girder]

Forgot to say I used dc2 Red instead of the usual hs1 Red bc I really want more def debuff.

[last stream]

yeah 3x gordie syncs with 4 sync buffs is not enough

[sullen zephyr]

[pallid girder]

Did you sleep the opponent in the beginning? I found it helpful bc you don't want him being burnt too early.

[sullen zephyr]

Ye, had to sleep him for at least 1 sync cycle

I had 22 seconds for the last sync and somehow still missed it

[cunning rock]

F2Ps are gonna jump towards BP Valerie for sure. She's self sufficient but slow in doing that and her Sword Dance gives her SEUN so you can ditch Redlax.

[sullen zephyr]

Finally all the stars align

1.2M f2p

I'm back in triple digit territory

[acoustic chasm]

Ok what the heck, that was LEAGUES better than Holiday Jasmine

[sullen zephyr]

Nemona is very good for this one

Idk what jasmine does but nemona

1. helps max out gordie's atk and crit
2. provides rock zone
3. helps melony spam sing with gauge accel

[acoustic chasm]

I got DC2 on her

[sullen zephyr]

Yeh same

Uhh all my screenshots have thr damage box obscuring debuff icons so idk what def stage i got staraptor down to

[sullen zephyr]

I might attempt to record a replicate of this run
unless i'm too lazy

[acoustic chasm]

Still wasn't able to reach 1M

[acoustic chasm]

Nvm

Needed -6 def

[pallid girder]

The rare case that burn extra score actually save the day!

[feral hamlet]

Gordie the MVP this time around?

[crude sandal]

Nah, it's SS Diantha

[lone plover]

Ngl I haven’t had much luck with diantha. Got a higher score with gordie since my Diantha is only 3/5 and has no ex role but it is also probably a skill issue

[feral hamlet]

My Gordie isn't EX yet. He's one of the last 5stars I need to EX

[cloud timber]

gordie is mvp yes

[crude sandal]

In terms of scoring high, SS Diantha is best

[cloud timber]

who scored higher with ss diantha

adam's screenshot

[crude sandal]

Me and skinny

[cloud timber]

gotcha

[crude sandal]

Skinny's score

Also fucking hell Heat Wave burnt Blue and Diantha

[cloud timber]

good to know, i've been curious

[feral hamlet]

Got 300k with Diantha. No, not one sync move, total

[crude sandal]

I can almost guarantee 10 sync buffs with that team

Without relying on para proc

[wise mulch]

Damn, crazy damage af

What's Diantha lucky skill?

[crude sandal]

That should be a given

But I think what's most important for that was multiple para procs

[pallid girder]

Sounds like you didn't fulfill all sync multipliers.

[sullen zephyr]

How does selene do?

[crude sandal]

Possible 1M with her

[sullen zephyr]

What. how.

[feral hamlet]

?

[crude sandal]

Tough Cookie

[feral hamlet]

It's like 90k first sync. 140k the second and that's it

[crude sandal]

You're not even setting up Cakewalk properly

Drop Tough Cookie for Rock Tomb: Trip Twice

[pallid girder]

Pick them in grid doesn't equal to fulfill them in battle tho.

[sullen zephyr]

How do you get 10 sync buffs? 3 support syncs?

[pallid girder]

They just sync 6 times with SS Dian. (4 from 2 ex support)

[feral hamlet]

What allies work better for this then?

[sullen zephyr]

Wtf that's 8 syncs total

I can barely get 7 syncs if i'm lucky

[crude sandal]

Wow, I got good luck with paralyze. In return, game decided to be an ass and not crit Diantha's sync 2 times in a row

Oh fuck this, I'm gonna get Soften Up

Replacing my Rock Wish: Initial Propulsion 1

[true locust]

This propulsion suks badly

Its take way more time then sing spam

[acoustic heath]

What’s the strategy here

[crude sandal]

Actually, if my Melony has Adrenaline as her LS, then I can get 8 syncs without relying on para proc

[true locust]

Sing is faster any way

Propulsion is good early in game

[crude sandal]

I'm being serious here. I almost got 10 sync buffs if it weren't for the lack of time

[true locust]

Not latter just animation take time

[crude sandal]

If I got a para proc, then it would've been guaranteed

[true locust]

And second thing this game mode its not base on amount off syncs but damage

If i got diantha i would score way more then skinny

[jolly violet]

Finally reach 2M

[crude sandal]

Hey, wait for me damnit

[jolly violet]

The clutch paralize just before last sync save this run

[acoustic chasm]

Sync once with Melony, once with Nemona then 3x with Gordie
Gordie's sync needs: +6 speed on Gordie (easy with Posthaste passive), -6 speed on opp (pick up Trip Up 9 on grid), burn on opp (50% chance when coalossal is hit)
Nemona has defense crush 2, Gordie has super powered 3 and Melony has pinpoint entry 2 (because missing Sing is slightly slower)

[acoustic heath]

Thanks for the tip

[clever wasp]

Anyone have a decent 3/5 no role diantha run?

[feral hamlet]

I dunno. Maybe I'll just call it here

[candid nexus]

Damn setup?

5/5 diancie rip

[clever wasp]

Idk why I'm struggling with 3/5 diantha so much

[pallid girder]

Using SSDian and Gordie together is just not that good apparently.

[clever wasp]

Cuz one or the other nukes the stage, both can't together that I know of

[random cedar]

What team should I run for SS Diantha?

Redlax Elio?

[crude sandal]

NC Blue and Melony

[random cedar]

What if I don't have NC Blue
