Damage Challenge

[nova remnant]

I assume you have SS Cyrus since he's not mentioned here?

[frail fulcrum]

Does MR have a higher sync damage cap than sidney?

[nova remnant]

Yes

[frail fulcrum]

I do actually have cyrus and serena but only 1/5 and no candies im willing to spend

[nova remnant]

He does require bit more set up

[vernal condor]

Whether or not the answer is yes, Sidney requires confusion which makes you lose time

[frail fulcrum]

So if rebuff strats are there i can use serena. I have the usual suspects of sc steven, redlax, etc

Maxing masked royals crit seems awkward

Bc i wanna use sc steven with him to rebuff and debuff

[glossy token]

i was considering a dc marnie mr colress comp and if you time marnie's sync to re-set zone that might be a discount cyrus method?

i cant test it bc im out of resources to ex my marnie

[crude sandal]

Whoever this Dream Walker guy is, he must have some real good RNG

[vernal condor]

and 5/5 all pairs and good gears

[frail fulcrum]

Im seeing 3/5 nc marnie teams, are those 1 mil viable or just the common pick

[glacial robin]

anytime.

[vernal condor]

@civic island you're gonna upload your 2M run? or you're trying to get more

[frail fulcrum]

I could do this if i didnt foolishly spend all my points on 3/5 nemona and gladion instead of saving some for 2/5 on marnie

So i cant get the mp refresh on marnie id need

They need to add a support with charging infliction paralysis who also maxes all offensive stats and gives super effective next repeatedly

[warped gulch]

I gave up 1m

Only set up to -6 Atk and -4 Def and 1 Red’s tm mpr

[deep apex]

That's still looking solid

[frail fulcrum]

Im guessing you para with red, rock smash a bunch while melony singsm

[warped gulch]

Nah, Brutal Swing is better

Faster than Rock smash

-6 Atk is high priority

But -5 Atk and -6 Def is good too

In that run i got -6 Atk and -4 Def

Other good options is ofc SC Steven

[vernal condor]

wtf 25

[civic island]

I'll try to get a polished one tomorrow, that was an experimenting and not the best example of it
SE on first sync, red burned and one extra sing
I swear I'll never get used to the sync CD visual bug

[long silo]

What bug

[warped gulch]

Lovely

[long silo]

Burn sucks

[warped gulch]

I got burn twice before i could even get tm mpr

[civic island]

When you change form, your sync CD before the move start

[sturdy pebble]

Well.

[long silo]

Oh. I assume this happens on Cerena?

[civic island]

Yes

[long silo]

I see

I only have NC Calem although I don't notice anything with him

[warped gulch]

Sidney with SC Steven should be an easy 700k

I just hate the burn to do it

[normal parcel]

I scored a but more with melony, because I could land an extra sync, despite I can't fully buff and lose a super effective up from redlax

[west creek]

It seems that i am skill issuing

4 syncs from thievul with se+ lol

[warped gulch]

Did you fully buff her ?

[west creek]

Paralysis with Snorlax and then Sing Spam

[warped gulch]

She need 18 stats for her multiplier

[west creek]

To max out her multiplier

[long silo]

Oh that's nice. Actually in my recent run, I also got more score (via one more sync) after I abandoned -6 Def and just settled with -2

[west creek]

Maybe the problem is Meloetta herself

[normal parcel]

I mean you actually need -18 stats totals to nuke with serena

[warped gulch]

But 500k with 4 Syncs and SEUN just

[west creek]

Lemme do a quick run

[long silo]

It was two B-Move to get the remaining -4 so it takes long, but didn't expect the difference to be that big when I just decided to not do them

[latent plover]

@vernal condor How hard was your 2.2 million run?

[normal parcel]

With melony isn't that hard to sync one extra time I guess, but the total won't be much more, because you sync at +4

[vernal condor]

To be VERY honest, not that bad

[normal parcel]

Don't know if getting fierce entry 2 ls may net more damage than sp3

[long silo]

Who did you use

[vernal condor]

The video is in the doc

you can check it

[latent plover]

Gonna try it then. I have 3/5 EX SS Cyrus so maybe Serena wouldn't need umbral accel

[vernal condor]

oh yeah

[latent plover]

I did, that's why I'm asking for rng

[normal parcel]

I saw the 2m video, too much rng

Like it had several paralysis procs and impatient procs

[vernal condor]

there's a worst version of it where each sync has SEUN but you need like 5 dodges on top of flinches

I tried that for way too long, without success ofc

so I settled for a run with only 3 SEUN and it was ok

[latent plover]

I almost got that several times

[vernal condor]

impatient wastes time tho???

[latent plover]

It requires too much luck

[normal parcel]

Wastes? The run had it

[vernal condor]

well idk why then

@civic island yknow impatient wastes time right

[frail fulcrum]

Who would i run with sc steven tho?

[latent plover]

Impatient helps to spam less moves but unreliable

[frail fulcrum]

Melony cant work bc she needs them to be para'd

Like sc steven + mr + who? I dont know any supports who buff crit and also can spam sync countdown with status moves

[west creek]

I can't send the video

I love discord

[civic island]

Yeah never ran impatient

Its a trap, it procs when you're abt to sync

[warped gulch]

Sidney, he can easy score 700k with SC Steven and BP Barry

[frail fulcrum]

Oh i already did that. I want 900k lol

[warped gulch]

Yeah

Sadly SC Steven cant go with MR

[timber cedar]

Hmmm is there a way to do 1 mill with nc Zinnia and sc steven? I was running arc steven but I didn't manage to do 1 mill, maybe just skill issue?

[west creek]

Where can i send my failed run to understand what to do?

[timber cedar]

[vernal condor]

oh yeah im dumb the 2M run isn't yours

[warped gulch]

Unless you want to deal pain with Melony’s sleep

[frail fulcrum]

We just need a damage challenge support that can do everything we want

[vernal condor]

that's called agatha with supp r

which will never happen

[timber cedar]

SC Zinn sorry

[warped gulch]

@vernal condor can you add this ? https://youtu.be/SMmlwbUtwMU

[timber cedar]

SC zinn setup on her own is kinda....oof

[vernal condor]

It's already in

someone submitted it

[warped gulch]

Oh ok

[vernal condor]

Just a reminder y'all are allowed to submit vids that arent yours

[warped gulch]

https://youtu.be/gmSuSD06v-g?si=NHCW6csJLi4f7hVW

[fallen trail]

who’s better between ss cyrus and v selene

[west creek]

Bruh, VIPs do more than me 😭

[fallen trail]

my cyrus is exr and selene is not if that matters

[warped gulch]

SS Cyrus tho

Bc he can sleep spam himself (ofc need gauge heavy support)

[fallen trail]

could i do like champion blue ss cyrus and uh

honestly idk what the 3rd would be

red?

[civic island]

🍈y

[fallen trail]

but cyrus is sleep spamming

for debuffs

[civic island]

Right

Kinda used to see them together lmao

If ncBlue gauge is enough then anything with SE or circle

[vernal condor]

yes probably

#1014128602603851837 message

[fallen trail]

ooo my cyrus 4/5 i can grab soften up

soften up useful for once !?

[vernal condor]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-more-gif-21856591

[vapid kernel]

Theres Demoralize on MR grid

[civic island]

[fallen trail]

oh hell nah

[vapid kernel]

Confusion was so finnicky i gave up

[long silo]

Fun

[glacial robin]

ss cyrus needs both team max speed + mga just to spam dark void fails consistently

[vernal condor]

certified 2022 tile

[vapid kernel]

Cant wait to get Bianca and Chandelure for damage challenge unlockable

Next month

[glacial robin]

plus his seup only works on tm / dark wish since dark void usages are "fail"

[fallen trail]

hmm so thats why chase is better

cuz he has mga

i dont have chase cry

any potential substitutes

well actually

would umbral acceleration enable it

[vernal condor]

umbral accel is a must

[nova remnant]

10 energy for 20% chance is so cringe

i know it's on any of his succesful actions but still

[latent plover]

Umbral Accel is needed on both Cyrus and Cerena

[vernal condor]

he's running cyrus dps

no cerena

[latent plover]

I meant for your grid

[vernal condor]

(also if you run both, you don't need it on one of them)

[latent plover]

I'm using the same comp

And yes I do since I ran out of gauges

[topaz roost]

Do I have any real options for hitting 1m? I’m currently capped out at 750k with NC Marnie and Red/Elio

[latent plover]

I intended to +6e Cerena at some point anyways so might as well

[warped gulch]

Make your dmg lower early

And also, makes you slower too

Bc every Sync you have that pop up, so it doesn’t save that much time

[fallen trail]

oh c serena bruh i forgot about her

[vernal condor]

[fallen trail]

is she better than cyrus

[vernal condor]

yes

[warped gulch]

Yes

[fallen trail]

or selene

[vernal condor]

by miles

yes too

[fallen trail]

well alright

[vernal condor]

only better than her is zinnia

[warped gulch]

Selene is kinda sad tho

Only 2 Syncs multiplier

[fallen trail]

whats serenas best team

[true locust]

Lax and elio

[fallen trail]

no dark zone?

[true locust]

No room for it

[fallen trail]

hmm

[nova remnant]

she got rebuff and SEUN from redlax

[fallen trail]

she does need atk buffs

which elio gives

[true locust]

Yes

[nova remnant]

and someone already did 2m with that team

[true locust]

Its why elio not melony

Melony work too but no max attack mean less score

[nova remnant]

melony is also just really slow

[true locust]

Nah she faster then elio

Since no propel move gauge

[nova remnant]

speed wise for gauge

[true locust]

I did whit melony no issue for 4 sync whit super up next but you lossing 4 more attack so get less score

[fallen trail]

so serena has to shuriken shuriken brutal swing b move twice?

[true locust]

Yes

2 times shiriken swing b move

Then again same

For 2 rebuff

Its why need get para and miss alot so have time for 4 sync

And only maks 3 is whit lax super up next . Get 4 need get even more rng then this

[fallen trail]

whats her best grid

[latent plover]

Got 1.8 million with Mael's strat but got no mpr

It's an improvment over Elio

For me

[topaz roost]

Whoever suggested Serena thank you

I totally forgot about her but she was the easiest 1m break for me

[delicate junco]

is there no unit that just flat out lowers sp.d

like fake tears or acid spray

[fallen trail]

there are several

[delicate junco]

i dont mean like energy ball or shadow ball

something that gaurantees drops

[topaz roost]

Arc Lance Arc Steven

[delicate junco]

thanks

[latent plover]

We have several units with fake tears, but none of them have the animation cancel like Colress or BP Barry

[vagrant ivy]

fake tears just doesn’t cut it, animation still plays

if it didn’t lodge cheren would be scoring much higher

anyways I did a bit of crit fishing and other grinding on the DC, managed to push the score a bit higher

aaron EX might matter, tips much appreciated

[topaz roost]

I mean if you’re super desperate there’s lodge N who has animation cancel and 50% SpDef drops

Throw Mind Games on him or whatever to raise the odds further

[tiny mist]

much lower

[tiny mist]

u have NC serena?

I saw akari clears with more than a million, and u have 4/5 akari

pair her up with cred and colress should be an easy million

[vagrant ivy]

still 4 more days

enough time to farm out aaron ex hopefully

[fallen trail]

elio just got burned by heat wave 3 times in a row

[vagrant ivy]

so much for 10% burns

[civic island]

Run Flameproof

[vagrant ivy]

does chandelure have HE 10 bro y’all are making it sound like he does

[civic island]

Adr/HS Isnt changing much

[lethal siren]

Do you have any video?

[fallen trail]

holy SHIT this chandelure def has HE10

last sync didnt crit 🤧

[cursive linden]

You didn't use Soften Up?

[fallen trail]

cant

not enough energy

her dark sync power up tiles are too far away from it

[civic island]

What grid are you running

[fallen trail]

annoying that u gotta grab a bunch of useless stuff to get to the +25 tile

[lethal siren]

You can get +25 tile that is above

[civic island]

That's special sync

[lethal siren]

Oh

[fallen trail]

the tiles on the top are her water sync move yeah

and thats +50

its 7 energy

usually always grab soften up when running water cuz its in a good spot

not so much for dark

[civic island]

Btw I ran standard grid, even took the water shuriken title bcs there's not much to take

Soften up is worth

You may get the right miss/ para procs and fail crit

[fallen trail]

for fully optimal damage i dont think soften up is worth

just for 1 mil sure

but she would need +8 energy to get all of soften up power play and both dark tiles

and that gets flabbergast which sucks

[civic island]

For mine I ran this
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012200073000&s0=5&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=17010201&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICRESExQVGhscHR4fICUmJyo&v1=013003065800&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13016403&t1=4444&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFBggLDhETFR0gIyUpLC8&v2=000000014300&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=15010301&t2=44444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFERMWGRocJigq

[civic island]

On paper yes
But considering you have to deal with dodge rng you need to be sure that every sync is a crit

[latent plover]

I decided to ditch the +25 to run umbral accel + soften up

[normal parcel]

Doesn't, but it spams heat wave, so it's pretty likely to burn at least one of your units

[ivory kestrel]

Wtf, i’ve been running Anti Toxin as NC Serena’s LS this whole fkin time

[safe prawn]

Hello beautiful people

What’s the best team rn? Just got back from work

[delicate junco]

Karen is my strongest dark unit but i have a feeling sp.a isnt going to cut it this time

combined with no weather, no dark zone, and no quick wy to lower sp.d....sigh

[tiny mist]

Sry no I dont upload

I dont record either

I also dont have 4/5 akari

[normal parcel]

I mean is really hard to try comps when you have to reset for body slam para and on top of that you get burnt 80% of the times by hate wave

[unborn otter]

I'm only able to get 3 nc serena syncs in

[normal parcel]

Yes is really hard to get 4

Maybe if you use red tm only once

Doing a full run takes 1h when 90% of the times you get burnt

And every attempt is several body slam resets

Then 10 failed runs because of burn

[ivory kestrel]

There you go

[glacial robin]

one of the attempts i did got serena and elio burned both with 1 single heat wave lmao

another one could have made it perfect but then serena got burned last second

[normal parcel]

Elio is just too inconsistent to try to get 4 syncs

[safe prawn]

I just got burnt by heat wave

2 out of 3

[ivory kestrel]

Akari not built for this. Managed 5 syncs with her for this run.

[chilly prawn]

I hit 1 mil unoptimizrd akari 3/5

With cs2

When I get a chance will do another run

It’s just not standard strat

[lusty galleon]

I got to 1m with Akari too

BrycenMan + CBianca

[chilly prawn]

Bianca and nate champions

The dark move starts hitting 150-200k per hit

[lusty galleon]

yeah lol

[chilly prawn]

I feel like optimizing can get much higher

[lusty galleon]

the biggest problem is getting all + fierce entry 2

[normal parcel]

I give up, I can't get 4 syncs with elio, too much rng

Sometimes you are short by 1 second, sometimes you are short by 10 seconds, elio is too erratic with propeller 5

Ok I guess misses are needed too

[unique abyss]

small improvement

I didn't see that I had a garbage bandanna

[warped gulch]

https://i.imgur.com/gU5tf73.png

Meanwhile i’m using this

[ivory kestrel]

Yup, spoke too soon on Akari. Wow, I enjoyed that run, pure DPS’ing

[unique abyss]

Damn, 6M is ~400th place idk how can I squeeze more without 3/5 arc cynthia (and no lance )

[chilly prawn]

Yeah this can be optimized and super powered

Thats nearly extra sync

[civic island]

Misses or even flinches
But you should manage them in the best way possible

Here my attempt, it's a little different setup but to me feel more solid bcs did it thrice this evening fishing for better rolls
https://youtu.be/PdP3K0E-GkM

Elio doesn't need Impatient, it takes too much to trigger and often out of places
And as LS ran Fireproof for comfort

Required just 1 para and 1 miss

[zenith jolt]

That’s the best I can do, Does anyone know if the Dragon one is upgradable ?

[civic island]

For Dragon if you have Lucas you can try Lucas Lance Aaron

[rose basalt]

just candied arc cynthia, hard to get syncs in with sand storm dmg wasting time

[cedar cloak]

Pick sand shelter grid

[rose basalt]

oh sht mine isnt exr

rip even more of an L

💀

[zenith jolt]

Ok i’ll try Even if I found Snirlax and Oleana faster

[snow raptor]

Close to 8th 😦

[zenith jolt]

Okk my bad, didn’t believe this comp but seems really Great

Yeah such an improvement thx @civic island I’ll try again for Even more scoring

[unique abyss]

[fallen trail]

isnt lucas’s sync technically stronger

than lance’s

[copper otter]

I feel like this Damage challenge is literally "Have the RKS units or suffer" so i will suffer

[fallen trail]

provided both are on the same team

[latent plover]

I didn't reach 2 million but I'm content with this score

Maybe next time I will

[zenith jolt]

Maybe but Lance farm x2 physical and Special boost each sync to build the buddy moove max damage

[fallen trail]

ahh thats true

the b move likely makes up the difference

unless lucas is exr maybe

[zenith jolt]

Hmmm after testing, nah Lance is too strong for Lucas

Yeah Maybe Lucas exr makes the difference

Idk wasting a sync is it worth it ?

[unique abyss]

Damn, I think 3.7M is possible with 1/5 Wally and Penny (skill gears are not optimal tho) terrain ended just at the end , so I couldn't use final fleur cannon

[thick holly]

i love how fucking useless this parameter is

[acoustic halo]

who's good for Bianca without Serena?

[thick holly]

We have like ONE ground pair with special moves

and it's Naomi

[thick holly]

Akari
SC Zinniz

Sc zinnia ESPECIALLY

[acoustic halo]

tried Akari and got a worse score than using MR :(

[thick holly]

i saw someone got 800k

[acoustic halo]

my Zinnia's only 2/5 tho so I can't use her

[thick holly]

Otherwise maybe Sidney?

Masked Royale is not good from what i saw

[vernal condor]

MR got 900k

[acoustic halo]

[unique abyss]

well two theres also Rika

[vernal condor]

May erasure

Ingo erasure

[acoustic halo]

May isn't Ground

[vernal condor]

She has earth power it counts

[acoustic halo]

and we have 2, Naomi and Lodge Rika

[vernal condor]

[acoustic halo]

can't use her in the HS next week tho

[vernal condor]

Ok but who cares about this trash mode

Take rewards and yeet

[thick holly]

Yyyyeah

So the options are

[unique abyss]

just PLA things

[thick holly]

F2p ground pair which is... Just decent

A support with a single use ground dps

A gen pool who can't nuke with ground moves

FUCKING MUD SLAP

Yeah overall just trash options

[vernal condor]

[delicate junco]

hmm

so how do i squeeze max damage vs cynthia with Diantha

Her having max sp.a is easy enough, but how do i lower all opponents sp.a and sync enough in a timely fashion?

[unique abyss]

Do you have ss wally?

his b move is instant -4spatk

[delicate junco]

i do not

I have a lodge comfey though

[unique abyss]

In that case I'd go with sing fail spam, no nc blue either?

[delicate junco]

no

i came back lst week after a 2 year hiatus

there arent many units post 2022 that i have

this unfortunately means sycamore 6* isnt here either

[unique abyss]

Maybe use Ghetsis's noble roar + para dragon breath and spam with Elio?

idk if double drop is locked behind power boost, he also has hostile environment for his dragon breath, so he should be quite "reliable"

[rare apex]

redid my BC and got 1.5m with cerena

DC even

[delicate junco]

well if noble roar is on the table

i have anni n

[rare apex]

double drop just requires 3/5 for ghetsis

[unique abyss]

but paralysis is crucial

[delicate junco]

for?

[unique abyss]

sing fail spam tactic

check the pins

[delicate junco]

in that case N can burn everyone

[unique abyss]

burned enemies take a lot of time

[delicate junco]

or would the burn ticks cause drops in time- yeah that

[unique abyss]

there's one disadvantage of Ghetsis - no ripple effect, so his noble roar affects only one enemy

[delicate junco]

okay what about this

[unique abyss]

but I think you'll get more points because of his paralysis

[delicate junco]

anni n bp barry

the lance challenge toss barry out the window from the start right?

[unique abyss]

Well sing is a lot faster (no troublemaker) than stun spore etc spam

And with Elio you shouldn't have any gauge problems

[icy pendant]

We actually have two! Lodge Rika!

[copper otter]

Technically 3 if you want Earth power dps May

[cloud timber]

if you want to go further there's a bunch of mud slappers

[copper otter]

Ingo dps

Oh..... next week is ST Steel

[sturdy pebble]

I think I've hit my peak

[copper otter]

? Why evelyn?

[brisk shale]

4+ defenses I assume

[copper otter]

Ah right

[brisk shale]

You can prob go higher on fairy if you somehow aren't tired from resetting for fleur cannon miss

All exr, just +2e gladion

[copper otter]

Does penny need 3/5?

[brisk shale]

Kinda

[copper otter]

[sturdy pebble]

I'm tired, plus I really don't want to spend a cake on Penny

[brisk shale]

3/5 is just Sync burst that gets +2 smun and propulsion that gets -2 cd

I'm resetting for 1 gladion mpr

You could reset for 2 to compensate

[copper otter]

Ah

Also i had a thought. How would SC steven, RKS lance, ncnate do?

[unique abyss]

Penny and Wally at 1/5 are easy 3M, the rest depends on skill gears

[copper otter]

Ncnate at 2/5 can get 1 mil but with -2 rebuff?

Considering dragon myth powers up nate more than unova circle....

Idk

Would that work?

[wooden tree]

grid?

whats the dark greninja grid?

[copper otter]

Get power play, +50 dark sync, sde 9 and DC 9

You could get soften up but it will lower your score

[wooden tree]

but i have to use water shuriken

until before the sync right?

to unlocl the B move

[unique abyss]

2x watwr shuriken bs b move

and of course tm

[copper otter]

Yes

You need to debuff for max powerplay

Exr also is vital

[unique abyss]

What's better for ss gladion: additional 20spatk or 5% boost for moves?

[acoustic chasm]

I HATE Elio

Too bad he's the only sing spammer that can buff Cerena's attack because her stupid TM only gives +2 for some reason

[crude sandal]

Because they want you to use CCalem with her

[crude sandal]

+20 Sp. Atk. since his B Move will hit the damage cap anyways and it will slightly help his sync

[acoustic chasm]

Yeah this ain't happening, too much RNG
Jasmine has to proc 2 SEUN MPR
Elio has to hit a lot of Sings (faster than missing)
Elio should not get burned (if I run flameproof he's going to miss Sing even more without pinpoint entry)
Needs at least 2 of either flinch, miss or paralysis

[crude sandal]

Hmmmmm, anyone gonna try Pinch Push for Ash when electric 3v3 comes this Friday?

Or maybe not because NC Blue gives too much HP with theme skill boost

And also Blue gives +1 defensive stats to him

[acoustic chasm]

Honestly I might replace Elio with Melony, grid team fierce entry on Jasmine and just go with +4 attack, just to be able to have 4 Cerena syncs with SEUN without losing my sanity (whenever Jasmine gets the MPR, Elio takes too long and I miss the 4th sync, and vice-versa)

How much damage is +2 attack?

Wait Jasmine has team shout

It should still be faster than freaking Elio

[crude sandal]

You do realize it could proc every time Jasmine gets hit right?

+4 attack: 203346, 205605, 207865, 210124, 212384, 214643, 216902, 219162, 221421, 223681, 225940

+6 attack: 228739, 231281, 233823, 236364, 238906, 241447, 243989, 246530, 249072, 251613, 254155

About a 12.5% difference

[acoustic chasm]

If I tank with Melony, it will only proc on heat waves

[glossy atlas]

+2 crit??? u mean atk right??

[acoustic chasm]

Yeah

[glossy atlas]

k

[unique abyss]

I was aiming for that 3.7M but I think I'll retire for now top 300 rn so maybe I won't have to do anything anymore, another thing that I can't get nowhere near this score again, it's too tedious (read: stupid gobsmack and no mpr )

[thin wren]

@dry whale yoo would you mind telling what comp got you 2.5 mil

[dry whale]

Could have sworn I posted it hours ago.

Depending on rolls I could hit 2.6m. Don't want to deal with that kind of RNG

[snow raptor]

Last last sec mega kick

[lapis yarrow]

What's the strat for this team?

[rose basalt]

whats the go to dmg dealer for steel singles next

[cloud timber]

colress, bp rose

[thin wren]

I predicted nuker cyrus and redlax would be the top and it seems to be the case. Nice

thx btw

[dry whale]

The usual, set up the power play and para, dark void spam. Earlier today someone posted a video. Look it up

[dry whale]

Look again, Greninja is the nuker

[cloud timber]

yea even rolling 3 20% seuns wouldn't make cyrus compete

if you use redlax you give up larry's rebuff and mga which is necessary to keep up gauge

[thin wren]

Nuker refers to one of the dark nukers

[pallid girder]

That one is using Red + SS Cyrus spam. SS Cyrus's debuff actually helps his gauge refresh.
He's not as fast as Melony but he gives 1.5 more dmg boost for the striker in Dark weak.

I predicted SS Cyrus spam + another nuker (SC Zinnia most likely) be the best too.

[crude sandal]

Cerena has support EXR and also defense debuffs, so she has an edge over SC Zinnia

And also speed buffs to help with gauges on SS Cyrus spamming using her B Move

[fossil igloo]

I had fun with this.

[crude sandal]

How the hell did you only get 697k with Lance

[fossil igloo]

Probably just the grid. I don't feel like retrying.

Also, I got the Dark challenge done.

[sacred badger]

who

whoa rathere

[rain copper]

[crude sandal]

I'm still kinda contemplating on whether fast syncing with Ash vs. SS Hau's massive nuke is better

[sacred badger]

we can always test when it drops o.o

[crude sandal]

I wonder what's the grid with Hau

[sacred badger]

5/5?

[crude sandal]

3/5

5/5 has nothing anyways that can help Hau with this next DC

[sacred badger]

something like this hrm

[crude sandal]

Why not use Blue's TM to set up Hau?

[sacred badger]

oh you're going nc blue

[crude sandal]

I think NC Blue is a must for SS Hau

[pallid girder]

I'm betting on SS Hau, but I know that no Soften Up will make him way less consistent, so the first few days Ash will have higher presence.

[sacred badger]

can drop the tm refresh for a sync node

yep

[crude sandal]

Ash has more syncs than Hau

Hau has a higher nuke, but his set up takes significantly longer

[stoic crest]

What is the best option? Please ping me

[crude sandal]

Champion Serena if you have her

[sacred badger]

iirc, dont you have nc serena?

[rain copper]

Sidney is your best bet if you don;t have NC Serena 3/5

[crude sandal]

Otherwise Masked Royal best

[stoic crest]

I have nc serena

[crude sandal]

3/5?

[stoic crest]

I think she is 1/5 though I can candy her

I have dozens of candy

[crude sandal]

Don't candy her unless you want to

[rain copper]

i wouldn't candy pairs for a side game mode

[pallid girder]

Like I said I'm betting. Ash's nuke without SE and ET is 1/2 less than SS Hau's, so 2 Ash's sync = 1 Hau's sync minus the last one when you use SE.

[stoic crest]

So then masked royal or Sidney? And what else?

[crude sandal]

You're not gonna use Ash's SEUN when he does his B Move

You're gonna use it during his last 2 syncs

[sacred badger]

his bmove doesnt needd the SEUN tbh o.o

[crude sandal]

Actually, you're gonna use Not Gonna Lose when he's 3rd sync

And use another one during what you feel like is his last sync

Because of Trainer Sync Redemption

[sacred badger]

if you're running nc blue, 3-4 SMUN sshould suffice

[rain copper]

Sidney requires way less setup than Masked Royal

[crude sandal]

It doesn't

[stoic crest]

What should I run with him? Red lax and sc Steven?

[long silo]

I think pin has some Sidney runs?

[rain copper]

Yeah

Good poma players always check the pins

[warped gulch]

• Sidney already buffs all his stat for himself and only need confusion for his multiplier. That means he has really big pairs he can go with, he also has sure crit. But he has mega tax which makes his Sync way lower than MR, also confusion can go away anytime.
• MR has higher Sync dmg than Sidney. But his set up is way worse, he cant buff crit, need -6 Atk for his multiplier, and he cant even reliable to get that unless you want to lose some dmg.

[rain copper]

[crude sandal]

If Ash gets to 9 sync buffs, then he needs 7 SpMUN stacks

[sacred badger]

basically have ash tank ?

;D

[crude sandal]

What's the lowest amount of skill gear stats to get again?

[stoic crest]

This is what I'm seeing in the pins as the only Sidney in the guide.

And no Marnie

[sacred badger]

honestly, the 5/5 ash havers will have a field day.

[warped gulch]

Sidney can go with a lot of pairs

That is his f2p team

He can go with SC Steven + BP Barry for easy 700k

You can check their kit and make team

People cant just make like 10 possible team for just 1 pairs

[crude sandal]

@sacred badger You have SS Hau?

[sacred badger]

i do

1/5 tho

[crude sandal]

Nah, I need someone with 3/5 Hau

Along with NC Blue and Melony

[sacred badger]

here's my current electric rrooster

[stoic crest]

In a team like this basically always sync with Sydney I'm assuming and never do anything with him except sync? Just paralyze over and over.

[warped gulch]

Sync with Barry 1st

And you need to look if confusion is still up

If confusion is gone, he is losing a ton of damage

So be careful

[pallid girder]

Have seen Red + 1/5 SS Cyrus + Masked Royal did 1M.

https://youtu.be/YSeyqM2-uIE?si=ARlFZmz5De7mkzdu&t=377

[stoic crest]

How do I add confusion, isn't it just added by getting hit by Sidney?

[warped gulch]

Yes

That why it is important

If you use SEUN for him too early

And enemy get out of confusion, you’ll need to atk enemy and lose your SEUN

[stoic crest]

Ah so timing is key

[warped gulch]

Also reset for Tm mpr too

He need 2 Tm to max his Atk

[stoic crest]

Thank you!

It doesn't seem too hard. Even if I get 500k I'm happy

[toxic sleet]

That was so tiring lmao

[lethal siren]

Me cries in no ash

[pallid girder]

It's 3v3; EX Elesa prob can do 1M too. Unless you're looking for 4M or more, Ash or SS Hau is really not needed.

[stoic crest]

Is something better than this?

I didn't even get a sync with gladion in

And ended up with 200k.

[crude sandal]

Wally and Gladion kinda need their EXR

[pallid girder]

Same team but all 5/5 is better

[rain copper]

That sounds low even with 2/5 Gladion

[stoic crest]

They do

[stoic crest]

Yeah that's my thought, what can I change? Add red lax?

[rain copper]

The only thing you should change is your gameplay

[stoic crest]

Well what am I supposed to do then?

[rain copper]

You can save Penny's TM to stack SMUN on Gladion's B Move

[boreal warren]

to add to the list I got bp barry 3/5 ex even though I’m using him in the lisia team, but is there any way I could get higher on these?

[pallid girder]

3/5 Lisia can 100% hit 1M; ig it's just crit luck. Also exr on SS Wally would help.

For Dragon ditch NC Calem and use Aaron to spam.

[boreal warren]

Alright I’ll keep trying with lisia thank you, but I am no where near an exr for anyone at the moment

Thanks I’ll try it

[stoic crest]

Is there much point in trying hard on the other battles?

A simple switch to red gave me a million

[hidden fog]

A sense of pride and accomplishment ?

[boreal warren]

Also ramming speed does nothing for lisia in this right?

[stoic crest]

So nothing worth anything 😞

What are the best pairs for the other battles?

I was guessing arc Cynthia and arc lance?

[civic island]

Enemy uses xspeed all
So account 4bmoves to max kekwok

[pallid girder]

You just don't have enough energy so yes just ignore that.

[boreal warren]

Would this be ideal grid for her?

can’t get the +8 but just get rid of the bottom right middle tile and I’ll have enough

[warped gulch]

I rather use this tho

Max Atk is way more important than 1 less Dire Hit

[boreal warren]

You’re right, I was using hilbert before this to max the attack so I forgot about it

[civic island]

I ran this for the past fairy 3t
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/21501/7802?s=3&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=13016403&g=AAECAwQFBgkMERweICEjKy0u
You have to get that Giga impact

[boreal warren]

I will try it, thank you

[boreal warren]

is the giga impact more worth it than the extra sync power?

I may not be able to fit one in the end I’m not sure, I got one at the end with 0sec left last time

[pallid girder]

Pick another sync tile = +2 energy. They prob just don't want to do it.

[boreal warren]

I see

[warped gulch]

Also +5 accurate

Bc you really dont want to miss that +x PMUN, SEUN Giga Impact

[boreal warren]

Would team pinpoint entry 2 on barry grid be better then?

Would that cover it enough

[civic island]

You likely want to use colress

To para them all and debuff def

[boreal warren]

I am using him for the steven stage

[civic island]

What's your team for steven?

[boreal warren]

Colress arc cynthia red

[civic island]

Well then just reset after you cleared all 3
I think colress+cynthia may be challenging in term of time

[boreal warren]

So just switch barry with colress then?

in the teams

[iron timber]

What's the grid for Collress

The only ones I can find are his nuke builds

[boreal warren]

this is what I’m running but not optimal at all probably, all I really wanted was go viral infliction freebie and sand shelter since i was using him with cynthia

wait I just noticed if I do switch barry with colress then I won’t have a support to sync with in lisia

unless she doesn’t need it

[civic island]

This is standard colress spammer build
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/pairs/19100/60100?s=5&l=150&r=6&p=0&a=15010101&g=AAECAwQFERIUFxkjJScoKywt

PPE and Mgr may take those few extra seconds

So not worth if its a close run

[pallid girder]

Yes Barry is better in Lisia team imo. You're alr so close anyway.

[civic island]

Do you have any fairy terrain settler?

Best would be ssMina, but if not tech Sylveon or any support that could bring utility is enough

[boreal warren]

I don’t see fairy terrain in filter or wdym

[civic island]

Zone

[boreal warren]

I use Wally for it

and it’s the only one I have

[civic island]

Looks ok
So then, just experiment after clearing all 3

[crude sandal]

You know what, I think the problem with Heat Wave isn't the burning, it's how fucking long the animation is

[civic island]

Blame both

[crude sandal]

Nah, I blame the long animation more

[civic island]

Hex is pretty long too, sure Bianca got some of the longest animations

[crude sandal]

For Cerena, it seems that the most important debuffs are:

• Speed
• Defense
• Accuracy

[civic island]

Flinch chance management is extra important too

[crude sandal]

I wished CCalem would've done a status ailment

[boreal warren]

to be clear, how many syncs am I looking at with the lisia team? And when should I be using the trainer move

[crude sandal]

Godfuckingdamnit

I got the run of the century only to be ruined by it not critting

[boreal warren]

when I did the 900k run I got 5 syncs + giga impact (I can’t remember if I got 2 or 1 in)

[warped gulch]

Did you Sync with Wally ?

[boreal warren]

I did not, I did barry first then 4 lisia syncs

[crude sandal]

I'm guessing he doesn't have his EXR

[boreal warren]

yea I don’t

[warped gulch]

I think you should try Sync with Wally too

Maybe Rebuff makes a improvement

[boreal warren]

When should I do that sync

[warped gulch]

After Barry

[boreal warren]

Ok

[crude sandal]

Wally also has HS2 when he syncs so it's almost like a sprint EXR already

So yeah, he should definitely sync first

[pallid girder]

TM in the beginning bc you don't want to reset if mpr doesn't proc in mid battle

Second* Wally sync still deal a bit of dmg so don't waste it before support ex sync.

[boreal warren]

Well yes I do that already, but when would I want to use the second one

[crude sandal]

But goddamn, this pissed me off so badly

[pallid girder]

You'll use TM*2 before Lisia sync (when doesn't matter), and no need to use the 3rd time ever even if it procs again.

[boreal warren]

does PMUN stack?

[crude sandal]

Yes

[boreal warren]

oh

ok

[cursive linden]

PMUN/SMUN/SyncMUN can stack but SEUN don't

[boreal warren]

also does it stay for the game?

[cursive linden]

No

It's a one-time use

If it says "UP Next" then it would be used on the next move

[boreal warren]

so its more worth it to get 6 atk 6 PMUN on first sync than 4 atk 3 PMUN on first then 6 atk 3 PMUN on second?

or is it

only attack because then idk if it matters if I can’t giga impact

[pallid girder]

PMUN/SMUN won't work on sync. They'll last until you use a regular move that match them.

[boreal warren]

yea I haven’t been able to replicate giga impact again after last sync so I’m not sure if I can

but thanks for the info

I will keep trying

Also I don’t think I crit on my syncs lol

[pallid girder]

So it's always 6 atk whatever PMUN for every sync bc PMUN doesn't matter for them.

[boreal warren]

Want to make sure it’s better to just use only 1 crit right

I think it would make it much more manageable to skip 2nd

[pallid girder]

No. Always +3 crit (=2 use of crit +).
3 crit = 80% crit rate on sync and +2 crit = 50% crit rate on sync.

[normal parcel]

I guess the flinches are also needed

[boreal warren]

Ok thanks

[pallid girder]

The only exception is unit with Soften Up passive or other names that say always crit on every syncs.

Lisia doesn't have any of this.

[boreal warren]

got this with Wally sync and 6 PMUN, I think I messed up a tiny bit but for now I will try 4 lisia sync again then after I will do Wally again

Ok nice, 4 lisia sync + 5 PMUN, so I can go higher but not sure if it’s worth it

Probably will also wasn’t paying attention to crit

Thanks for the help

[long silo]

Let's go gamers

(He'll get EXR tomorrow)

Can finally do those Chase comps in DC

[normal parcel]

I guess he wants 3/5, but even 1/5 could work

[long silo]

I can get him to 3/5 currently, and he's on my long term plan to 5/5. But I'll wait for now

[civic island]

Lost a total of 2 hours fishing for ssGaldion miss, never been so annoyed by something
So I gave up and swapped to a single bmove build, and guess what he misses a final fleur cannon

[pallid girder]

I mean Single bmove build is always worse for SS Gladion, no?
His sync is just too weak compared to his bmove.

[civic island]

No, two bmove without missing always lead me to 2.6 range
Pripritizing the last bmove ofc
Maxed bmove is right 3M plus abt 400k from sync and other stuff
1/5 Wally
That 120% from missing is quite relevant

[unique abyss]

I can't imagine using double b move with my 1/5 sides

the amount of rng is insane

[civic island]

I'd be good if at least happened once within those 2h

And in the end is just time wasted, I'd like to get that extra 1M but not worth my time i guess

2h is too much, never attempting again

[unique abyss]

What's your score btw?

[civic island]

Broke the 10M
And I'm a 3k bundle guy, so I'd love this chance to get a top 100 in ranked DC alongside whales

Lucas Lance n Penny are not caked
Got a lot of stacked resourced to.max them but I don't like throwing for a single event

[cursive linden]

This shit requires me to get ~4 paralyzed

[civic island]

Are you syncing with rosa?

[sullen zephyr]

It's true. This is very satisfying.

[cursive linden]

Yes

and i am

using her b move pre-sync

[sullen zephyr]

damage guard eats up some time right?

[chilly sierra]

Brother drop the tutorial 😭

[devout pelican]

[civic island]

Ground and Fairy are clears from the doc
I'll upload the Dragon

[devout pelican]

By the way, @civic island if you are the one who upload that team, NC Serena grid could be improved. For one, she has no use for the upper sync node

[thin wren]

any new revelations in dark st dc?

[civic island]

I know, I forgot the upper middle to be the special

[brazen dew]

Did pykuo reach 1m with mr?

[unique abyss]

90 accuracy is 90%? More like 99% that stupid fleur cannon won't miss

[pallid girder]

I rmb ppl cried about og Lanca or Alder's Hyper Bean can miss at 1/5. Now see what we're aiming for

[civic island]

SsGladion misses on Fairy/Water HSE 📉

[vernal condor]

Fairy/Water HSE 📉

[warped gulch]

Cant wait to see f2p for Ground/Dragon HSE

Suffer

[vernal condor]

Is there even 15

[copper otter]

....does hapu count for the 15?

[vernal condor]

Anything

[copper otter]

https://tenor.com/view/eduardo-sterblitch-eduardo-sterblitch-laugh-smile-gif-21515066

[warped gulch]

16 if we count DC

[vernal condor]

Wow

[warped gulch]

Total amazing 2 supp pairs

[vernal condor]

Hmm

Drake

[copper otter]

LETS GO, CLAY SUPPORT GAMING

[pallid girder]

And they refuse to make any new bp dragon or ground support even tho it's alr lacking.

[vernal condor]

Ah Nita

[warped gulch]

Ngl, i really hope they make some new BP for this

But nope

[sullen zephyr]

1st place is 15M. what the fuck.

[warped gulch]

2 Supp for f2p

Amazing

[copper otter]

Sgladio, arc cynthia, arc lance, all 5 mil clears. Checks out

[vernal condor]

Cant wait for BP Tabitha

(it's also OG Tabitha)

[pallid girder]

Instead we get f2p psychic nuker and water support again. I mean I like Slowbro and Wailord but do we really lack these 2 options in f2p category?

[copper otter]

i didn't even know Cheryl had a wilord tbh

[vernal condor]

She's the HP Trainer

[sullen zephyr]

i have all of them but i lack the investment and supports

[vernal condor]

Of course she has a Wailord

[copper otter]

Gotta have them 3/5 for a chance at 10 mil

15 mil is for 5/5

[vernal condor]

Cant wait for SS Cheryl & Zygarde because Zygarde has a lot of HP

[storm zinc]

Someone else also used NC Bede in the Co-Op battle

[sullen zephyr]

oh man 4 candies for 280 tickets? what a deal

[storm zinc]

Trace for October?

[pallid girder]

Nope it's for the cool top 1 title you can show off whenever you do coop.

[unique abyss]

NOOO

[sullen zephyr]

a vanity title too?
actually that is kind of cool

[civic island]

Cynthia and Gladion can take 10M at 3/5
Lance is quite forgettable

[sullen zephyr]

trope i saw you at rank 50

[tender patrol]

I am out of cookies to roll for sp3, this has been madness without soften up

[pallid girder]

It seems they're really afraid of overpowered tech nuke for some reason so lance gets unnecessary nerf that his sync doesn't get more effect other than the regular tech condition and his another sync multiplier is stuck at 4/5.

[sullen zephyr]

3 syncs

[copper otter]

Honestly, i don't even want lance for the damage, i want him for the max def drops

[normal parcel]

I mean lance still has 300 base BP tech nuke at 1/5

It basically has tech ex built in

[copper otter]

I just need lance 3/5 so i can paraflinch and then use Melony alongside a -6 def drop

[boreal warren]

on the doc for fairy stage the videos show Marnie I thought it was cynthia right now or is it something else

the dragon and ground are right

[normal parcel]

A 6ex tech has 300 BP at 1/5

[copper otter]

The marnie one is not ranked

[boreal warren]

it’s when you click on super sparring, I thought that’s the one going on right now

[normal parcel]

Lance is basically tech ex with tech exr

[copper otter]

It is. The strat is the same though

There's no rules for fairy

So it's the same thing as marnie DC in that aspect

[chilly sierra]

Any vid on rotation order?

I wanna scrape the 1m mark with my fairy team

[normal parcel]

Basically there are no rules for ground too, since there aren't any special AOE ground nukers if I remember correctly

[copper otter]

There are 2

[normal parcel]

Ok I guess it affects rika's field ex sync

[copper otter]

But are not even worth using in the first place

[normal parcel]

AOE nukers? Who?

[copper otter]

Naomi and lodge rika

Lodge rika is tech tho

[normal parcel]

And where those are AOE nukers?

[copper otter]

Naomi is aoe

[normal parcel]

Naomi has no ex

[copper otter]

OH. I THOUGHT SHE GOT ONE

Didn't helena get one?

[normal parcel]

Nope

[copper otter]

WTF?

[normal parcel]

Otherwise people would have used her for ghost weak

[copper otter]

Everything i know is a lie

https://tenor.com/view/gjirlfriend-gif-25975337

[normal parcel]

None of the trainer classes units got any ex

[boreal warren]

don’t think the exact same strategies work but I understand

[copper otter]

The most optimal team for both marnie and cynthia are the same team

Ss wally, penny, Ss gladion

[boreal warren]

ok let me rephrase, not all strategies work the exact same

some do I bet

[normal parcel]

That's the best AOE fairy team

[civic island]

I think It should be different
Marnie got xDef all
Cynthia got xSpeed all and EQ
I was following Gnolte video but timings are shorter

[normal parcel]

However the Cynthia stage is harder

[copper otter]

Is the move queue the same for both teams?

[normal parcel]

Don't have to optimal team and with my team I couldn't afford the same queue

[copper otter]

Interesting

[boreal warren]

yea some things either take longer or they have more speed so they get more moves in

[copper otter]

Hmm. Fair enough. I just know the same team is used but didn't know the minute details of it all

[normal parcel]

Main issue is that with 2 b moves setup, gladion can't quad because it has to wait for b move to restore, and the spiritomb always queues stored power

[pallid girder]

I've heard that someone's BP Valerie accidentally die bc she's weak to ground lol

[vagrant ivy]

can happen

[jaunty stratus]

I got 800k with cerena elio and red!

[vagrant ivy]

(BP valerie user here)

[jaunty stratus]

That's a new record!

[normal parcel]

I could try single b move and see if at +10 is better than 2 not fully powered ones

[brazen dew]

How much can ss nemona get ?

In super sparring

[copper otter]

Not much

I think i saw her just barely scrape 1 mil

But she needed 3/5 from what i recall

[brazen dew]

She got 2.5 in normal one tho?

[copper otter]

Did she?

If she can get that, then expect about the same amount

[brazen dew]

Idk, i think i read that here

But i got only 1.1 with her

[cedar cloak]

Iirc the highest from her was 3m something while gladion 6m ish

[brazen dew]

Do you know the teammates?

[normal parcel]

However the regular stage had x defend I think so nemona was at disadvantage

Plus I guess gladion really relies on premium teammates to score high

Nemona peaks lower but I guess she performs decently even without premium teammates

[latent plover]

How you got 4.9 million with Cynthia?

[zenith jolt]

How did you do 4.9M i’m stuck 4.1M ???

[cedar cloak]

If not mistaken, gladion,penny and ss wally (all 5/5) -probably the same for nemona-

[cedar cloak]

Probably hes able to do 2 B moves (where 1 of the mobs missed their atk at the end.)

[brazen dew]

I hv 3/5 nemo, 2/5 wally, no penny, no glad

[civic island]

+100 atk and a stupid good bandana

I usually keep gears with high multipliers as third passive for future stuff

This was long forgotten, till this event

[cerulean gull]

Hoo boy finally

[normal parcel]

Is the Cynthia run heavy RNG?

I mean the one against Steven

[scenic crow]

[lapis yarrow]

video of this run by chance?

[cerulean gull]

Let's just say the breakthrough happened when I spammed Sing a couple of times when I flinched the Chandelure before using Snorlax's TM

Ideally you should get Snorlax sync -> Lapras sync -> Greninja sync before Chandelure even syncs once

[vernal condor]

theres a clear using that team in the doc

[cerulean gull]

If not then just get lucky with paralysis and dodges ig

Btw I went for the Soften Up grid (no need for extra energy) because I'm not a madman hoping for 80% sync crits

[turbid vault]

Wait the water one didn't end?

Oh that is for dark haha

[civic island]

Easiest of the three
I followed Adept video in the doc

[zenith jolt]

Found out much, tm refresh needed, Hope for at least 2 para at the start with one of them is Metagross, pray for drill run fail and para thunder punch at a certain point

[zenith jolt]

So this is astonishing

[lapis yarrow]

How do you compensate for not using HS1 or Adrenaline on Elio and Redlax?

[cerulean gull]

Timely flinches with Staggering Greninja

[lapis yarrow]

Ok. I only ask because the clear I'm following from the doc has me like 15-20 sec slower than the clear, not allowing me to get off another Serena sync

[cerulean gull]

As far as I can tell, speed drops and flinches are very key, but dodges/paralysis/Impatient procs are helpful as well

[cerulean gull]

If your Greninja can sync before Chandelure's first sync, you have a good shot

[lapis yarrow]

It syncs just before Elio 🥸

[desert fox]

Any easy 1m for dark dc

[latent plover]

SC Zinnia/NC Serena with Melony and NC Blue

[desert fox]

Any vids with Serena

My Zinnia sucks

[zenith jolt]

Painful but back to the top 20 I don’t think I’ll stay

Does anyone know what’s the highest score for the Dragon ?

[true locust]

Vokzx1 say he did 4m on dragon

[cedar cloak]

yea it's getting super competitive now. I think top20 gotta be at least 12.5mil or 13mil by the end of the event

[zenith jolt]

Those on the top with 15M just looking everyone plays the hunger games

[true locust]

Since we have arc banner wat are good for it plus alot reruns too from selects. Off course will be more hard then befor

[cedar cloak]

it's tough out here man...

[zenith jolt]

Yeah sure, there’s so many way to get pairs needed for now

[true locust]

Next days alot players can grab key unit sc stevens

[cedar cloak]

sc steve for dragon stage?

[true locust]

Just for 3k gems

[zenith jolt]

I wish I knew how he done that, Does exr Lucas usefull ?

[true locust]

Dont now wat he use

I saw one team 3,7m was nate lance and oleana

[cedar cloak]

yeah someone posted here iirc

[zenith jolt]

Interesting

Oleana must be 5/5 exr i think

[true locust]

Sc steven for all others this one his one use if he got exr role sup then prob would be top too

[cedar cloak]

btw if you reset the stage, would your ranking get disqualify ? or it still count your highest score even if you reset all of the stages by the end of the event.

[zenith jolt]

Dena could fked up and give him Sprint exr lmao

[zenith jolt]

It count the best score you’ve done

[cedar cloak]

ohhh thats awesome! good to know

always thought if we reset we gotta reclimb the rank lol

[zenith jolt]

Hopefuly it’s not

[cedar cloak]

anyways, 4 more days to go...this is rough

[zenith jolt]

Yeah 4 days, we need luck

[true locust]

Always count best score from 1 stage

But if reset all then you have issue

Since need do on 3 stage same or more then you can climb.

Best reset 1 in time

[true locust]

Dont think sc variety get it and rest too

[zenith jolt]

We’ll see, it matter just support for Steven

Btw what’s your score on the dragon one ?

[normal parcel]

Wait you want to get paralyzed by thunder punch?

How many syncs? 3 + 2?

[zenith jolt]

No Blue paralyse ennemies

Even if, I found out Melony paralyzed spam sing is faster

[zenith jolt]

2 syncs Blue and Melony
3 Cynthia
B moove Cynthia

[normal parcel]

Too much RNG, I managed to get get 1st and last Cynthia boosted sync, but even if I get MPR I don't have the time to use tm thrice without crazy RNG (and 2 MPR 2 is already pretty annoying)

[zenith jolt]

Yeah this run is full of rng

[normal parcel]

Maybd I could score more by getting 2nd and 3rd boosted syncs instead of 1st and 3rd, but resetting early is much better for sanity, and I guess using tm early won't waste sandstorm/zone time

[zenith jolt]

The best case at the end for the Last sync

[normal parcel]

I can get sandstorm and zone for all the syncs but sandstorm won't last for final b move (ground zone will)

[zenith jolt]

Is that Metagross sync right before you can sync, so you can sync freely and buddy moove right after without wasting time and expire sandstorm

[zenith jolt]

Yeah

I don’t know how to force him sync a second Time before you but it works every time for me

Like other Times Sandstorm expire or Time count down

[normal parcel]

Does Cynthia and Steven get boosted defenses post mega?

[zenith jolt]

Idk

[normal parcel]

I know the summonable units get an overall stat buffs from mega

Wondering if these units do too

[jolly violet]

Arc Cynthia has all stat buff except for HP post sync.

Don't know about Steven since I don't have him

[normal parcel]

I mean enemy arc?

[normal parcel]

Summonable Steven does too

Don't know if they get a stat boost post mega, (so maybe trying to rush before 1st enemy sync may matter)

[jolly violet]

At which point did you set up sandstorm?

[normal parcel]

Just before 1st Cynthia's sync

[jolly violet]

That's is not optimal. Do it Before Cynthia 2nd sync.

[normal parcel]

But it lasts enough for all 3 syncs

[jolly violet]

It will give enough time to make Cynthia 4th sync

[normal parcel]

Isn't time wasted for the sandstorm the same?

I guess maybe less animations

[jolly violet]

You have to count in the Sandstorm chip dmg time on opponents too

By using sandstorm 1 sync later

It give enough time for another sync

[cedar cloak]

so first sync we just nuke it without sandstorm?

[jolly violet]

I wouldn't call it nuke cuz it do close to nothing

[cedar cloak]

thats interesting. Ig in that case, we can just pick dust kicker too right?

[normal parcel]

Dust kicker slows down

[jolly violet]

No. No dust Kicker

[cedar cloak]

oo so manually cast sandstorm is faster. bet, will try it now

[normal parcel]

Yes is faster because you can time it, and gives countdown

Plus with dust kicker you are forced to recast after every sync

[cedar cloak]

oh dang, i thought it's just a 1 time thing nvm

[normal parcel]

Even 1 time is still bad because it summons it after the sync

[cedar cloak]

yeah true

[normal parcel]

How much tm you use with Cynthia (with the 4 syncs route) and how much did u scored?

Not sure if you can score more with 3 syncs 1st and 3rd boosted vs 4 syncs 1st weakened and 4th boosted

[cedar cloak]

If you're asking me, nope I never did 4sync format before. Will let you know shortly. Cuz so far I only able to do 3sync with 2 b moves. 4.6m+ only

[jolly violet]

I can reach 4.6M with 1 TM.

2 should give me 5M

[cedar cloak]

Wow 1 tm only that's crazy

No b move?

[jolly violet]

1 B-move

[normal parcel]

3/5? With melony and NC blue?

[jolly violet]

And some decent gears

[normal parcel]

RNG involved?

[jolly violet]

RNG only involved with 5M goal

[normal parcel]

For the 4.6m I mean

Like you need full para? Or stuffs like that?

[cedar cloak]

Just curious, does playing in speed x1 vs x3 affect the duration of the sandstorm? Or it's the same

[normal parcel]

It's the same

[cedar cloak]

Phew okay good to know. Gonna try it rn

[normal parcel]

At 3x it just expires 3 times faster

Not sure if the enemies get a stat boost post mega

Or at least a defensive boost

[jolly violet]

You need full para if your gears is Opp para sync up or something.

[normal parcel]

With full para I meant, enemies failing to move due to paralysis

Like some clears have some mandatory full para

[jolly violet]

None. Not even Drill run miss from Sandslash

[normal parcel]

I could give It a shot then

[normal parcel]

I tried a run without RNG, not even close

Didn't even used Cynthia's TM and failed to sync 4 times

Without RNG I don't see how I could ever even fit a Cynthia's TM

And the final b move

I mean I wasn't short by 0.01 secs

I was short by a lot

You didn't used x speed?

I don't know how I can shave extra time

[jolly violet]

That's strange

Which lucky skill do you give Melony?

[normal parcel]

Adrenaline

[jolly violet]

Give her Sand Shelter

[normal parcel]

But I have team sand shelter

[jolly violet]

Then try again

[normal parcel]

I used sandstorm just before 2nd Cynthia's sync

[jolly violet]

Can you record your game play?

[normal parcel]

My phone is quite slow but I can try

Sync order matters?

[scenic crow]

not 4m bro

just 3.98m bro

im so serious

🫠🫠🫠🫠

[civic island]

4M range

[fluid anvil]

@scenic crow whats your max with Arc Cynthia ?

[scenic crow]

3.98 is top

Arange 3.9×m

[scenic crow]

5.4m

[true locust]

Haha is same like 4m for me🤣

[scenic crow]

🫠

[true locust]

Now we need get arc serna and frog🤣

So she can crit syncs 🤣

Sincy my nc serena refuse haha

[scenic crow]

🤣🤣🤣

[true locust]

We sure get some one . But when?

Each month?

[normal parcel]

Nope, got a full para and still got a bit short of 4th sync

[scenic crow]

maybe

[true locust]

Hope not since it will be realy expensive game play

Better like 3-4 months brake
