Damage Challenge

[warped gulch]

2 ofc

[rapid sparrow]

Okay thanks

[warped gulch]

I still need more Field/Sprint

[vernal condor]

if you get 7 syncs total or more, 2 supp

[vernal condor]

everyone

[rapid sparrow]

Get the breloom from last month

What was her name greta

[vernal condor]

(yellow and blue are r, red is planned, white isnt)

[pallid girder]

Excluding sprint field and support field. They are the combo I'm impossible to have 4.

[rapid sparrow]

There are 4 units in the game that can be support Field, no?

Morty
Sabrina (costume)
Thorton

[fluid anvil]

Rika

[vernal condor]

anabel morty thorton rika bellelba

[rapid sparrow]

Idk who else but i think there was one more

[warped gulch]

No

[rapid sparrow]

Well 2 more

[warped gulch]

More than that

Bc i have 4 rn

[vernal condor]

pykuo missing the best one smh

[rapid sparrow]

Yeah my point is
Only sprint field is the real challenge

The rest are manageable-ish

And for the love of everything
Stop tech support

[vernal condor]

strike sprint is still a pita

[rapid sparrow]

Especially supports that get tech cakes

[vernal condor]

like i have strike sprint pairs, but that combo sucks

[warped gulch]

Yeah

That feel such a bad combo

[vernal condor]

ss lear should somewhat fix that

he's more defensive

[glossy atlas]

Ig that's good

[pallid girder]

Sprint striker is almost tech striker so it's good.

Striker sprint on the other hand...

[crude sandal]

[pallid girder]

I mean Gladion is good bc his base kit is good, not bc his exr.

[warped gulch]

• Tech + Striker:
• Striker + Tech:
• Sprint + Striker:
• Striker + Sprint:

[vernal condor]

field sprint
sprint field

[crude sandal]

[warped gulch]

• Tech + Supp:
• Supp + Tech:

[vernal condor]

Elaine somewhat got a nuke at least

being normal

her sync isn't damageless

[crude sandal]

Tech + Sprint
Sprint + Tech

[glossy atlas]

fr, some are as just pure trash

[vapid kernel]

Only sup techs we need are Marlon EXR

Also Rosa

[warped gulch]

Dawn

[vernal condor]

ss blue

sorry red got it

[glossy atlas]

I have one cake for each main type(not field/sprint )and the only good option i see is nc marnie

Jacq IS there too but still 1/5 so will have to wait

[pallid girder]

I have so many support with tech exr but my support + tech combo are all tech with support exr barring NC Calem lol.

[warped gulch]

I have NC Calem too, my other Supp/Tech is Elaine bc she just amazing for Battle Rally

When i have no upgrade

[vernal condor]

meanwhile me with 4 supp tech

3 of them being normal type because of course

[pallid girder]

I just cant convince myself to cake another one after I exprience the first one is so insignificant.

[vagrant ivy]

my only supp tech is ny Clair

and I am NOT gonna EXR tierno or lenora

[cunning rock]

You should start looking at those Tech Supports than Support Techs

[sullen zephyr]

I went in with dauntless on brendan. Oops.

[lethal siren]

Who is best for this dc

[pallid girder]

P2P option: mix red
F2P option: Brendan

[lethal siren]

Oh

I did brendan and did 1m but Brendan didn't crit on middle during all syncs except last one

+2 smun leaf storm helped

[crude sandal]

Imagine if it missed

[lethal siren]

[pallid girder]

I once blew a +6 SMUN Leaf Storm but I forgot to change to CS2 so it's using Dauntless...

[lethal siren]

[sullen zephyr]

Simple but effective

[cunning rock]

I like a lot of us here forgot that Brendan had Dauntless as his LS

[glossy atlas]

Mine's worse, it had grass guard

[lethal siren]

Omg
Same here

Coz I tried solo bulu

[glossy atlas]

I soloed bulu last lg

[lethal siren]

I couldn't solo

I always died at last

[pallid girder]

I really hope he get no quarter one day

[lethal siren]

Same

It will work even if he gets dauntless

[cursive linden]

Brendan Powerboost soon™️

[lethal siren]

Yes plz

I really want it

And if they don't give it still

I will riot

[merry stratus]

Oh hey this is a cool organizer
Is there a template?

[warped gulch]

You can make a copy from it

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1clA3Syp-7uerqGSjvQGlFjN9hEjzDf-hOJHBTQ54kcc/edit

[dry whale]

Hmm good enough, I'll try Sceptile later today. To bad it will only have CS2, I have 20 cookies left and I don't think I'll hit SP3 with that. Luckily for Adaman he already had weather warrior on.

[unique abyss]

ig I could get additional 60-70k points, but phone call said NO

[normal parcel]

Is Brendan just the best f2p option, or is the best possible option that a f2p can ever have? (Is only worse than p2w red?)

Or non paywall premium units are still better?

[willow flume]

Why are people using NC Blue?

[normal parcel]

Because is a great support for DC

[willow flume]

He is slow

[warped gulch]

Slow ?

[normal parcel]

Enables melony with max speed buffs, can give -2 defenses with 1st sync and adds a 20% sync multiplier to units

[warped gulch]

[willow flume]

Guess it’s because of speed buff and support sync for double sync stats

[normal parcel]

They play it because he's fast

The defense debuffs are on 1st sync, so it has almost no animation

Discharge isn't that fast but is the 1st move and can flinch

[warped gulch]

The problem with Melony is she ís really slow, so most of the time NC Blue is her best partner bc he is fast

[normal parcel]

X speed + maxes speed in 2 uses

[warped gulch]

NC Blue also just good with Sync spam bc of his passive

[dry whale]

Crit strike 2, I also missed 1 Crit. Not bad

[normal parcel]

Ok, Brendan is definitely the best not paywall unit, or something not paywall got more?

[normal parcel]

How many syncs? You need lot of paralysis luck?

[dry whale]

I got a para and 1 miss. Not sure if it's necessary since it was my first attempt after resetting for triple paralysis

[normal parcel]

How many syncs?

[dry whale]

Sync counter on the end said 9. So 2 support syncs and 5 Sceptile syncs

[normal parcel]

So you landed 14/15 Crits?

[dry whale]

Probably, not sure on the first syncs but definitely the one that happened later was a miss on the middle

I do have skill gear on

[normal parcel]

I men getting 15/15 is like 3.5% Chance

[vapid kernel]

Damn???

[vagrant ivy]

brendan is best f2p unit yes

but he needs someone like NC blue to fully exploit his potential

and also +E to reach the last sync node

he seems to be beating adaman rn and only loses to mix red

[cursive linden]

He need +8 energy for the last sync node

I am NOT gonna use 80k just for a single spotlight unit

[misty forge]

Especially when it's for 16 tickets lol

[dry whale]

It's only +6 and I'm swimming in orbs. Between dailies, monthly shop and rally shop it's more than enough to sustain.

[misty forge]

I mean I save them for units I use and that can play better because of the expansion

But it's because I'm rarely over 300k orbs

[dry whale]

Every unit I use that I have needed to extend are already extended.

[rapid sparrow]

Hmm what's best Mix red nuke grid

[normal parcel]

I think the main difference between adaman and Brendan is that Brendan can score higher if you sacrifice a Gogoat to the RNG gods, adamant scores lower but is reliable

Like I can get 1.4m with basically no RNG with adaman

[true locust]

Even if you have like skinny 10E on him cant pick 2 node

Would need like 20E

[rapid sparrow]

If I have extra 10 energy and I take sync node above - would it be worth taking out max move -2 cd?

[true locust]

No

[rapid sparrow]

Alright

[true locust]

For this you would need para fail surf or eq

So get time

[rapid sparrow]

I have extra 10 energies i don't know where to put

[true locust]

Not worth it:) since you need 3/4 miss any way haha

For speed special attack only

Or b move damage extra

[rapid sparrow]

Yeah think I will do that
Maybe do this? 🤔

And hit one big B Move at the end

With Blue's special ↑ too

[true locust]

You dont use his trainer move lol

[rapid sparrow]

Just once

[true locust]

10E i would pick special

20+

[rapid sparrow]

Ok Ill do that

[true locust]

Only this make any sens

[ivory crane]

Let me cook

If Brendan can get 1.8 million with melony

I can maybe do better with nc Rosa

I got cs2 on Brendan with my last cookie

[vapid kernel]

Keep us updatrd

[ivory crane]

I’ll do it

Later

[rapid sparrow]

What team did you use
How do you have 2.6 million

[normal parcel]

Rosa is slower than melony because if you want to sync you need to use relic song

She's good it you actually need the pmun sun for a big finisher (leaf storm definitely not worth it) or if you don't plan to use double support ex, or if you plan to use redlax since she has much better gauge management (but you will need tm MPR to max Brendan speed)

[ivory crane]

Cool I don’t really feel like tryharding on this dc anymore

Thanks for that

[true locust]

I post it red chase melony

How i have . Dc is made for me:) super easy get how need be done🫢

[rapid sparrow]

Sprint chase and needs 3/5 ?
👀

[true locust]

I have 5/5 exr

[rapid sparrow]

Ugh

Mine 1/5

[true locust]

But 3/5 should work too

Chase is only some times good. But nc blue is the goat for most dc.

[merry stratus]

thanks!

[summer shadow]

I dont have nc blue to use brendan, but i also dont have anything good to use red with

[crude sandal]

No sync spammer

[misty forge]

Brendan can work with Sonia

[summer shadow]

I thought that was what melony did by spamming sing

[crude sandal]

You need someone to inflict a permanent status ailment (mainly paralyze) to be able to do that

[misty forge]

Colress would work well enough

Twave + Def drops would net you easy 7-800k

[summer shadow]

My colress is 2/5

[crude sandal]

Isn't Red a special DD?

[misty forge]

Oh right this is mix red too

I forgot

[turbid vault]

It would be kind of lame if they specifically design an arc unit to be good for spam strategy

[summer shadow]

I tried barry but it doesnt seem to improve

[turbid vault]

Hopefully that would just be an added bonus on broken kit besides

[crude sandal]

Grassy Terrain heal

Also need an EX support unit

[delicate junco]

ended up getting enough points to get gladion today

still think my brendan score could be vastly improved tho

[brisk shale]

Do you have holiday jasmine, chase, Larry, red Snorlax, ss elesa or sonia?

[thick holly]

So here's a funny thing

The two first move used are aoe

So if you tank with anyone but Chase it can save time if you have him

[misty forge]

Aren't the first two moves

Surf and stomping tantrum

[thick holly]

yep

oh wait i thought second was earthquake

but eh

they have aoe moves so it saves time and no worries about having to tank with Chase and his awful passive for dc

[summer shadow]

Yes, i have elesa and sonia

[brisk shale]

Any is ex?

[summer shadow]

No

[brisk shale]

I guess do sonia and melony?

Or elio over melony if he's ex

Also mix red has strike cake?

[summer shadow]

It does, hes just missing the 5/5

My sonia is even worse off, though

[brisk shale]

This but with mix red https://youtu.be/y129zoVNids

EXing melony is pretty useful for DC

[summer shadow]

Well, i dont have resources to ex 2 units

Or even one

[thick holly]

uhhhh

Maybe not sonia tho

Mix red is has a special sync

[brisk shale]

SS elesa and elio then?

You need speed buffs to sustain melony

[thick holly]

Elio would replace melonu

Ss elesa can't speed buff

So yyyyeah...

[summer shadow]

Rip

[fallen trail]

2/5 mix red isnt beating brendan right

this score is so middling to me idk

[summer shadow]

Since theyre not ex anyway, I'll test things later

[plush palm]

somebody got 1.8m w/ that team

[plush palm]

this one

[fallen trail]

yea im doing something wrong probably though it might just be not using hs1/adrenaline

dont realllly feel like trying THAT hard

[plush palm]

i got 1.1m and im satisfied

[west creek]

Aw man

I need the 5/5 on him

[plush palm]

Greeta probably does better in 1v3

[vagrant ivy]

real and true greta user

[plush palm]

bren works just fine thi

[true locust]

Maybe now this serena now who is the goat😎

[plush palm]

what team?

[true locust]

Chase melony red

Just got one more sync

Since use different play

[plush palm]

huh unfortunately my chase is 1/5

[open grotto]

Do you use double speed after nc blue uses discharge?

[true locust]

Need alot rng for it

If you use nc blue and melony yes

Need for gauge

[plush palm]

is chase really that good

[open grotto]

Hit 3 para and only got 700k

[true locust]

No chase not good

[open grotto]

I’m running elios and nc blue, should I swap?

[true locust]

Good is eva and if he dont get hit at all only

Elio not good

Better melony

[open grotto]

What does melony has that elios don’t?

[plush palm]

no gauge passive

[true locust]

Dont have pasive wat recover gauge

Its steal time

[civic island]

Extremely specific

[pallid girder]

No passive proc makes Melony faster, but also gauge SUPER unfriendly.

[true locust]

Chase is good some times and hard use alot rng need for chase

Nc blue need zero rng

[normal parcel]

I'm the only one using acerola + Aron?

[tender patrol]

What is the difference between melony and elio? Looks the same to me

[true locust]

Melony is number 1 sing spamer

[cursive linden]

Melony is slightly faster

[pallid girder]

Chase is better than NC Blue only if the striker is special and you proc almost every evasion.

[normal parcel]

Elio has 60% chance of wasting time for each sing

Plus has less accuracy so sing is on average even slower

[cursive linden]

Elio is used if your nuker can't get full buff from its own

[left vine]

Elio has some passives that have a chance to proc and regain gauge, but that takes animation time

Melony is straight forward spam, but can run out of gauge consequently

[cursive linden]

Or.... if their buffs have gradual healing

(sst red)

[tender patrol]

Interesting I get it

[normal parcel]

Or if you can't use NC blue/chase and you can't keep with gauge

[normal parcel]

Just gradual healing is fine, the problem is team gradual healing

Arc Cynthia and arc Lance I think both have gradual healing, but just for themselves so is fine, tbolt red has team Regen, so is off limits

[vernal condor]

con for chase: circle is worse than blue's passive if you don't have any other kanto unit

[normal parcel]

Circle is multiplicative

[vernal condor]

i did not say anything then

[normal parcel]

However circle animation isn't the fastest

[pallid girder]

I mean NC Rosa is not built for sing spam only but she can sing spam anyway. (Not better than Melony tho)

[normal parcel]

If you don't need to sync with her she's faster

[true locust]

Yes chase is good if you avoid alot moves most need avoid chase so no stupid recover

[west creek]

Probably

[west creek]

I need 2 sprint coins for 5/5

The gholdengo multis will do

[civic island]

Btw got few more attempt to reach 2.5 with ncBlue
But no luck and I don't have time for that
If someone want to try
It's mindgames2 ncBlue, setting enemies at -5 spdef will save one bmove and with few para procs he can reach a fifth sync

[pallid girder]

Just saw this btw (not mine). They said they didn't try harder so not all crit.

[vagrant ivy]

dahila for grass rebuff?

insane

[normal parcel]

Or if you avoid a single target move it makes up for several recovers

[west creek]

She reduces defense also

[unborn vault]

Just got around 1.5M with Sceptile

[pallid girder]

And Grass terrain. I actually wonder can Dahila + Oleana be a good teammates for mix Red either.
She also helps spdef debuff and acc debuff to fish for missing.

[dry whale]

I got a god run with 4 dodge/paras but I missed 2 crits. This should have been a 2.15m assuming low roll crits.

Thing is , if I hit every Crit I don't think I can match it without the same dodge luck. So far the best I've done is 14/15 crits.

Also turns out I had the Adaman skill gears still on with my last score.

[unborn vault]

Didn't expect him to do that well

[normal parcel]

He does, but with insane RNG

[vagrant ivy]

4 paras on lessen para 8???

[civic island]

2M brendo 📈

[vagrant ivy]

nice

F2P striker 📈

[plush palm]

wild

[unborn vault]

1M is basically free

2M is crazy

[civic island]

Dodge+para

[normal parcel]

Adamant doesn't scores as much bit should be basically RNG free

[turbid vault]

How hard is it to get 1.5 mil with sceptile?

[unborn vault]

Not much at all

[vagrant ivy]

wait does NC blue give evasion

hm

[civic island]

No

[unborn vault]

No

Just

[normal parcel]

At least my 1.4m run was basically RNG free with adaman

[unborn vault]

Aqua tail+para

[turbid vault]

Ugh am I really going to spend more time to do better than 1.3 adaman?

[normal parcel]

Brendan fluctuates a lot

[turbid vault]

Nah fuck it

[unborn vault]

Sceptile needs to crit syncs

But at least the sync cycles are clesn

[misty forge]

No reason to tryhard past 1 mil

[unborn vault]

No

Yea exactly

Tryharding to get 1M is already a stretch

[pallid girder]

Grass 3v3:
The best - pay to play
The second best - day 1 f2p

[vagrant ivy]

generally people don't tryhard in DC unless its ranked

or they are really close to the top

and have the means (5/5 EXR on the relevant units) to push

[west creek]

We have 5/5 melony, it's time to push

[civic island]

I just want the resources

Need those SC units for LG clears

[vagrant ivy]

back when DC first dropped there was at least a bit of hype

now its just 1m and done

hell some people straight up dont bother

[civic island]

DC tickets -> units ->

[vagrant ivy]

content is content

ran out of stamina? now you can play this mode and roll for crits to get yourself a marginally higher score

[misty forge]

People who didn't read the rewards past 1mil omegalol

[west creek]

The 1st DC ever was hype and had some simple teams too, Necrozma Lele and Meloetta

Now it's Zapdos and Melony

[vagrant ivy]

meta wasn't settled down back then

nobody used melony, nc blue, chase, bp barry, redlax, etc

only in fighting 3v1 did people really start to think

[civic island]

Still was propbably the best thing regardless

[misty forge]

I used NC blue on second rotation kek

[vagrant ivy]

the best we had was NC rosa sing spam

[misty forge]

But no sing spammer

[vagrant ivy]

looks inefficient in comparison with modern builds

who am i kidding this shit was only 3 months ago and it already feels old

[misty forge]

Pretty sure psychic stayed samey

Yea

Like fairy, it's top heavy so you don't need para sing spam

[pallid girder]

I mean starting from the second ever dc ppl were alr doing spam but with BP Barry or Colress (we haven't found out Melony yet).

[vagrant ivy]

that i did see and try

[warped gulch]

For me finding sleep strat is so good very me

[vagrant ivy]

(and failed miserably)

[warped gulch]

Before f2p need to gamble with ….. SS Elesa

[misty forge]

When was the poison 3v3? I used NC blue + melony empty debuff spam then already

[vagrant ivy]

when psychic 3v3 comes back ss lana is not gonna make the top team

she only provides terrain

nothing else

[misty forge]

And sprint exr

Ig

[west creek]

Good aoe dmg, terrain & sprint exr

[misty forge]

But you're not really syncing with her probably

[west creek]

I mean, good for her

[vagrant ivy]

ss lusamine will remain as the main sync DD

[misty forge]

Yea

[vagrant ivy]

but i predict a possible switch to nc blue(?) to make para sing spam possible with rosa

idk

[misty forge]

But an early Lana sync to add an extra sync cycle before SEUN sync might have a niche

[vagrant ivy]

and also rosa b move takes forever

so people might drop her for melony, sacrificing TM and theme skill for raw spam

[normal parcel]

Depends, for some run getting +7 for the finisher may be worth the time lost

Like for units with really strong b moves

[vagrant ivy]

mmhm

[glossy token]

gm gang im back in the mines

[pallid girder]

NC Blue + Melony is not always the best answer if you can boost more dmg from support + spammer so sync 1 less is not that bad.

[vagrant ivy]

could see that yeah

i was just wondering if the top comp for psychic 3v3 would still be ss lana ss lusamine nc rosa

with the benefit of hindsight

[glossy token]

im debating an idea

which is non ex sycamore first sync

he has adrenaline and a grass attack so not the worst, but it doesnt really help my major timeloss of only being able to queue up 1x twave to increment sync counter after supp sync

[dry whale]

That's how I got Ash past 4million, granted need 2 misses or paralysis to make up for Rosa sync move and attack

[glossy token]

my other idea is non ex roxanne for wide guard to block one of the spread moves for timesave but

[vagrant ivy]

thats so specific

don't think timesave would be worth the utility you lose tho

[glossy token]

to be clear beyond wg shes +speed for brendan

[vagrant ivy]

thats fair

you have her EX'd?

[glossy token]

sadly no

[vagrant ivy]

then its highly unlikely that shes worth

since u lose para for sing spam which is slightly slower

you'd have to go bp barry or colress who can drop def

[misty forge]

Even with ex, blocking with wide guard ain't significantly faster than just tanking the move

[glossy token]

o7 apprecite the advising, back to the drawing board it is

700k+ is Fine im not mad about it but i wonder if i can get higher is all

[vagrant ivy]

what else do you have

both chase and nc blue + melony can get 1m with brendan

since they can activate brendan's inertia

bp barry can't do that

melony and elio can't do that on their own too

i think

[misty forge]

Elio can but it's suboptimal

[vagrant ivy]

i guess you could try bp barry + nc rosa if you have both

nc rosa can TM for speed but has to be wary of long b move

and TM needs to MPR

[misty forge]

Well you only need to bmove once

With her

[vagrant ivy]

yeah

[misty forge]

And that timeloss is mitigated by sprint exr

[glossy token]

i have 0 ncs lmao

[misty forge]

And not needing to click dh+ twice on brendan

[glossy token]

nc blue rerun when pls dena im begging

[vagrant ivy]

if you have nobody who can buff speed, brendan also has amped up 1 on grid

[misty forge]

6 months

Probs

[vagrant ivy]

but i haven't tried such a build

[glossy token]

we can hope

[vagrant ivy]

you'd have to bullet seed 6 times to max inertia...

[misty forge]

I did with SC Steven 1/5 + BP Barry

[glossy token]

is bs or ls faster as an animation?

[misty forge]

1.3 mil

[vagrant ivy]

and you need to sac at least one sync node to get it if no +E

LS drops spA which takes time

bullet seed can low roll

and hit only twice

both are gambles

[glossy token]

gotcha, so its praying for low rolls

[misty forge]

2 seed hits> lef storm > 4-5 hits

Ideally you can just go elio instead

[glossy token]

or i say screw it and just grab nita or raikou

[pallid girder]

Highly likely this Dec ~ next Jan, since it's when the anni units rerun last 2 yrs.

[glossy token]

raikou could enable elio at least but he has a reactive

[misty forge]

Elio has team FT4 and Dc4 on grid

And elio TM Is +1

But still

[vagrant ivy]

@glossy token whats ur current brendan team

[glossy token]

sadly selene and ryuki mean in still in 2/5 elio jail

[vagrant ivy]

skyla.....

what

[glossy token]

turn 1 empty potion then +6 speed via tm w/ mpr

[pallid girder]

I figured that Sonia + Melony + Brendan 1M is actually hard to replicate?

[misty forge]

It's pretty annoying

[echo axle]

Any chance for decent score?

[glossy token]

3/5 brendan > 1/5 adaman

do you have nc blue or rosa?

[pallid girder]

Brendan is actually the current second best option just behind mix red.

[echo axle]

Nope

[pallid girder]

Chase + Melony will work for him. Not the best but doable enough.

[glossy token]

alr, chase is prob fine then but if you have a better inertia enabler thats prob better

oh wait chase has a reactive passive and most of the attacks are aoe

[pallid girder]

You just DON'T tank with him. He has team eva so the optimal play is dodge everything.

He's like the upgrade ver of Sonia in that Sonia + Melony team.

[glossy token]

gotcha

does anyone have paulo 4/5 exr?

hes sprint/supp so +2 and -3 to coundown, has pep rally 2 on tm, and buddy gives the remaining +4 to speed

if you go 5/5 you can try accelerock def destroyer 9

if anyone wants to try it

pair with colress or barry

[dry whale]

Well finally hit every sync crit but did not get the DC2 proc or the misses/ para to allow an extra Leaf Storm.

I know 2.1m is possible, I know 2.15 is also possible.

Maybe I'll try for the DC2 before it leaves but I just wanted to hit every Crit.

First pic , every Crit, second pic , 2 missed crits but enough misses/para to allow leaf storms to make up the damage.

[west creek]

Sceptile is the goat

[lusty galleon]

didn't attempt the Rosa evasion one?

[copper otter]

ew

[west creek]

I managed to make the score better than before. Para Spam truly does miracles

[copper otter]

ERIKA GAMING

[fair mist]

:viledoom:

[copper otter]

Erika's a tech right? Using this for 3 v 1

[west creek]

YES

[dry whale]

This is the current best Sceptile run, the god run with 4 paralysis proc. If only I had not missed 2 crits.

Normal runs Zapdos does NOT use the tm, I believe I needed 2-3 misses to safely do it if I want two followup hits.

[normal parcel]

Still you have to watch wide guard animation, and when the move gets blocked you still get an animation, probably still saves some time, but hardly worth a slot

[normal parcel]

The second best peak, but adaman I think is more reliable

At least with my comp

[teal harness]

I tried with mix red, colress and ss acerola, only doing around 600k

[forest forge]

2m brendan score must have double digit % damage increase in skill gears

[normal parcel]

Brendan with good RNG can score much higher than adaman, but with not so great RNG will probably score lower

[normal parcel]

3.5% chance to land 15 crit

[pallid girder]

Brendan is quite reliable to get 1M too with NC Blue + Melony. Did it the second try (first try i forgot to change into cs2; otherwise it'll 100% be 1M too).

[normal parcel]

My comp for adaman is super RNG neutral, I just get around 1.4 - 1.45m

Can't score more, won't score less

Brendan swings a lot

Like bad run less than 1m, god run 2m

[unique abyss]

If only Adaman had strike exr..

[normal parcel]

It would have scored like 4m+

[unique abyss]

Anyway I'm done with this rotation, 1.45M with Adaman is fine, I won't invest in Brendan just to get 6-8 additional tickets

[normal parcel]

Yes i'm.fine with 1.45m with adaman too, don't want to invest orbs and deluxe cookies for few tickets

Plus I still need pretty good RNG to even reach 1.45m with Brendan

[unique abyss]

I think with 3-4 para it's possible for me to get 1.7-8M with Adaman (in good runs the last sync is with ~24 seconds left), but I have better things to do than depending on RNGesus

[normal parcel]

At least my comp was super RNG friendly, just needed an MPR at the very beginning, but I don't even think was that necessary

[dry whale]

Question for the number crunchers. Sceptile gets tech role does he pass Mix Red?

[normal parcel]

How much did mix red scored?

[fluid wave]

Is Brendan Sceptile better than both Selene and Erika in dc? If so, is there sync grid for him?

[dry whale]

Anybody in game can check current first place score?

[normal parcel]

Selene is weaker, Erika isn't good for 3v1

[fluid wave]

ok my thoughts on brendan is right. anyone has the sync grid for him?

[pallid girder]

Currently it's Mix Red > Brendan > SC Sonia > Adaman > the rest.

[normal parcel]

Brendan peaked at 2m, if it had tech ex it should have scored something like 2.8m

[unique abyss]

2.87M

[normal parcel]

Don't know how much RNG is involved in the 2m run and in the 1st place run

I think the Brendan run needs more RNG because of the 80% crit

[dry whale]

For Sceptile, with my skill gear the RNG is getting the triple Paralysis with Zapdos and getting every Crit. Rotation wise misses and paralysis are not required. Plenty of time for a follow up hit after final nuke.

[normal parcel]

Triple para is needed to stop the last move?

[unique abyss]

I'm curious how big is your sync buff from gears?

[dry whale]

No, I need it to trigger the skill gear buffs

[fluid wave]

wow so zapdos and melony are like musts in dc... after watching your video.

[unique abyss]

opp para sync up skill

[normal parcel]

I tried few Brendan runs but without fully para I can't get 5 + 2 syncs, but probably is the garbage fps problem

[dry whale]

28%

[pallid girder]

They are one of the most consistent top score enabler, but if we're only talking about 1M there're more teams that can be used.

[normal parcel]

I guess my phone can't really handle sing spam

[dry whale]

Are you playing in slowest speed?

[fluid wave]

now I have to consider exing melony first....

[normal parcel]

Yes, but my phone is pretty bad

Like 6 fps

[unique abyss]

The worst thing for me in DC is quad queue, I fail half or more of my runs because I'm not fast enough

[glossy token]

anyone who has 4 or 5/5 exr paulo want to try this? or does no one have him 5/5 exr (understandable)

[west creek]

I think with a good player Greta with her speed reduction can make some points, but i am not so sure good players pulled that 2022 unit that is Breloom

[copper otter]

I have.

I will not use her for this.

[unique abyss]

SS Elesa gaming

[copper otter]

Spore creates an evasion buff that's slower than stun spore from Barry, and not only that, if you use mix red.... Lol welp, add healing to that buff.

and considering all Greta will be doing is spore and speed debuffs, it's not worth using..... also it's not just evasion, it's every stat at random which is worse.

[glossy token]

linkable do you have pablo to tell me why im wrong about that theoretical comp

paulo

not pablo

[copper otter]

Pablo

[glossy token]

oops

look

[copper otter]

what's the comp?

and yes, i have him 3/5

[glossy token]

this to set up brendan

ah ok so no 4 or 5

damn

[copper otter]

from what i'm seeing though, it can work, but what type are you trying to use it for specifically?

I have used Paulo for rock and even Ground Comps

[glossy token]

i stumbled on it from trying to find the sprint/supp or supp/sprint speed buffing units

[fluid wave]

is there any other status condition that's favorable to the singing besides the paralysis or is paralysis the best one? would TRAP also work w singing technique?

[glossy token]

who can enable this kind of striker who has a multiplier but cant set it up themselves

[copper otter]

no. trap will not work as sleep will stack with trap

[glossy token]

paralysis is non-volatile, so you dont need to re-apply it (freeze) while also not adding an animation to the enemy's turn (burn, poison)

para has added benefit of slowing enemy team down and adding a chance to skip their turn/move animation which also elevates its value

[copper otter]

also for this grid, you'd want to plug in TM MPR

[fluid wave]

OHHH right

so paralysis IS the only way to go

[copper otter]

Paulo's TM has a built in sync countdown, having that refresh 2 times in battle is just a free -2

[glossy token]

ooh i didnt think of that

smart

[copper otter]

also, here's another trick for ya.

[west creek]

What about doing sync damage + all that 👉👈

My skill makes me only do 500k dmg, but she can easily go 100k with each sync

[copper otter]

if 3/5 EXR, yes, she could theoretically hit 1 mil depending on team comps

[west creek]

Ill try this with the 3v1 grass

There she will be 5/5 EXR

I will laugh when ill fail

[copper otter]

I mean, I already saw Erika hit 1 mil so

[west creek]

Everything is possible

[glossy token]

her only multiplier is cakewalk no? i suppose she has soften up but she has no tech 1.5x or strike aoe

so it seems like her damage would flag in that regard

[copper otter]

You can technically sync rush without using status conditions, but it requires a unit to max out your defenses instantly. after that, Either Aaron or SS Steven can spam their 1 gauge that buffs their defense, and it'll be just as fast as Sleeping a para'd opponent.

was trying to do that with Lodge Sycamore/SS Steven/Mix Red, but my red isn't EXRd

[west creek]

This would be my take

This is the full nuke setup, then if we're talkin about utility too i'd remove soften up 1 and grassy terrain extension and put US4 and GT3

[pallid girder]

Venom drench without posion the opponents is also a play, and actually the first ever spam we found in time trial battle.

[copper otter]

Take out GT Extension for Def down on spore.

You need to lower speed anyways unless you have SC Steven to do it for you

[west creek]

Got it

[west creek]

I have him, tho i don't like him

But i do

[glossy token]

linkable i feel like a genius i was about to ask why not -def on spore tile

[copper otter]

Then forget what i said, sc steven can set up faster than greta

[west creek]

Pog

[glossy token]

im getting a near-passing grade in pmex grids

[glossy token]

the venom drench issue is being 2 bar right?

[pallid girder]

Wtf is this lol

[west creek]

I'd still use her b move to mess with the laterals and for the cd accel

[west creek]

This is peak, sir

[copper otter]

Trying to think a good greta comp.

Bp barry can't be used sadly

[west creek]

Colress?

[copper otter]

Colress has no support sync

[west creek]

Hm

[glossy token]

wait the erika we're hitting 1mil with is og erika???

not even bp erika??!

[copper otter]

Yes

[west creek]

Yes

[west creek]

900k

[pallid girder]

Yes but 5/5 Olanea has twofer so she works like Colress just fine.
Also in some comp spamming with 2 bar is actually not impossible.

[glossy token]

tangela has almost +100spatk on vileplume how tf

this game is so dumb sometimes i love it

[vernal condor]

Bro

[copper otter]

I gotta head to work, but i'll think of something, but my initial thought is nc blue or chase if you have one or the other

[vernal condor]

Can you record that

[fluid wave]

would hau alolan raichu be inferior to calem due to lack of speed in dc? he's the only f2p that can discharge.

[pallid girder]

Bc bp Eirka asks for trap. One of the most terrible multiplier in dc

[copper otter]

Hau has no reliable means to para

It's a 30% chance

[fluid wave]

can't increase w the cookie skill neither?

[west creek]

Yep

That's a true shame

[glossy token]

do you mean for electric 3v3?

bc he is not the only f2p discharge

[fluid wave]

no. this one is grass

[west creek]

I would, but you see, i used a bug where if you click Airplane Mode just when you sync you deal 999k dmg with the sync

[fluid wave]

i meant of the ones i have.

[fossil igloo]

I'm figuring this out as I go.

[west creek]

Don't spread the voice since it's a 🧀 bug

[glossy token]

ok well. colress 3/5 or any twave or stun spore unit >>>>>>>>> hau discharge for para

[wise mulch]

Curious, what Blue used there for?

[glossy token]

nc blue is a very specific piece of this kit

[vernal condor]

ok that explains the score

[pallid girder]

You don't need to para 3 if your striker doesn't use it as a multiplier.

[fossil igloo]

Paralysis and Special Attack buffing.

[wise mulch]

Ooohhh

[glossy token]

??? ayo????

i want a video bc now im curious how that works

[pallid girder]

A lot of ppl are doing SC Steven + BP Barry and with para only 1 it works fine.

[fossil igloo]

You wanna know what's hilarious? I actually did my first set of runs with Mix Red having Vigilance as his Lucky Skill. I STILL got an easy 1 million. Case in point, my first run.

[west creek]

About this, i would still think about Zapdos and a sing spammer

Or maybe oleana, idk

[copper otter]

Oleana could work if 5/5 but gauge could be a problem if not

[west creek]

Not really candy friendly, yep

I have her at 1/5

[glossy token]

ok seun is +50%

[void laurel]

I heard there's a BUG?!

[glossy token]

-6def all around is how much more dmg compared to flat exactly

bc if i fish for turn 1 body slam para from redlax

i might (might) have an idea

[west creek]

The only other thing i'm thinking of is going gambling mgr with people with Screech, like Magnemite

[pallid girder]

Nope. Screech wont work. It's not as fast as para moves / sing.
Lear is 1-bar move but you seldom see ppl use it to spam bc of the same reason.

[west creek]

Then i ended my ideas

[pallid girder]

Also many mgr asks for the move to success, so if the move fails it will never proc.

[fluid wave]

If I ex melony, is million even possible or no with this score

[cloud timber]

do you have sonia

[fluid wave]

No

[cloud timber]

not getting 1m then, you'd need brendan and melony and her ex too

unless you happen to have nc blue or chase

but even then you'd need the exes

still plenty you could do to improve

this is what erika should get without glitches (5* 0/20)

[sacred badger]

what about ss erika?

[cloud timber]

idk

[royal jolt]

I just want it to rotate to single fairy already. I hate this one

[fluid wave]

I even just wanted to try see and even with the support sync buff, I get only this. Idk what the hell I'm doing wrong

[cloud timber]

what is calem supposed to do

[fluid wave]

Para

[cloud timber]

no 3/5 bp barry?

para isn't that important on its own

could be running marley or skyla in that slot to give ss steven gauge and brendan inertia multiplier

[fluid wave]

No I could get 3 Barry but I only have 3 tickets

[cloud timber]

it's worth it

nothing else from there is remotely as usable

[fluid wave]

I mean roserade is para too, just the pro is that I won't run out of move guage in paralysis.

[cloud timber]

yes and it is a big deal

[fluid wave]

And you just said para isn't important on its own

[cloud timber]

not if calem's using it without gauge

because you can't spam it

charging infliction is what's essential

you can't just replace bp barry with any other unit with para and expect it to compare

missed an early crit and could have gotten one more seun for last sync if sunny day mpr and maybe some para procs

but it's at least there

ww3

[fluid wave]

I improved 20k

[cloud timber]

you're using 1 bar cosmic power to spam right

and not attacking with brendan

[glossy umbra]

Why is my brendan nuke doing so less

Is there a specific support I need?

I have melony

But who else would I need

[cloud timber]

nc blue/chase/sonia

[fluid wave]

I did first sync with deoxys and then rest two sync with Brendan

[glossy umbra]

Don’t have sonia exed

[fluid wave]

I didn't have spamming so I just used skills all over

[glossy umbra]

Why are those 3 specifically good?

[cloud timber]

still use her

[fallen trail]

who the HELL did this

[glossy umbra]

Oh ok

[cloud timber]

para and speed buffs for brendan inertia, melony sing spam, and melony gauge

[glossy umbra]

Do I try para all?

[cloud timber]

person said they used a glitch to get 1m dmg on one of the syncs

[glossy umbra]

Is bp barry better for guranteed para?

[cloud timber]

para one is good, one of the sides

[fallen trail]

glitch…?

uh oh

[cloud timber]

bp barry is much slower and using him as spammer instead of melony costs 2 syncs usually

and he won't buff speed

[glossy umbra]

Im only gonna use him for guranteed para, or is sonia still better even if not guranteed

[cloud timber]

yes

[glossy umbra]

Sonia buffs speed?

[glossy umbra]

Alr Sonia it is

[cloud timber]

please turn off pings

[glossy umbra]

Oop sorry

[cloud timber]

https://youtu.be/y129zoVNids?si=5KP0Tx5z4H_TTlt5

[glossy umbra]

Thank you

[cloud timber]

having a move without animations is essential to high scoring in dc, the easiest one to use is bp barry's charging infliction stun spore

requires no other setup or conditions

it is actually very likely that he'll be better than even exr ss steven due to the large amount of animations ss steven has to go through

[brisk shale]

#1255888121648644197 message

[cloud timber]

5 syncs minimum should be the norm once you start doing everything right

[fluid wave]

Why no need to para the sides

[cloud timber]

para one of the sides, the actual paralysis itself doesn't accomplish much at all due to lessen paralysis 8

it's more important for the animation cancels you'll do to rush syncs

[fluid wave]

Okay.

Is stun spore same time as sing when using on paralyzed?

[cloud timber]

it's slower because of the charging infliction pop up

[fluid wave]

I see.

[cloud timber]

but without sonia you won't have a good way to incorporate melony

[fluid wave]

Yeah and on top of that, I need A room for speed buffer

For brendan

I see Sonia's passive gives speedd to all when hit by enemy

Literally never pulled the right 5 stars even with pities and close pities. This game...

[cloud timber]

you'll get everything eventually

[fossil igloo]

You would THINK it was me, but it's not.

[icy pendant]

damage challenge no major glitches 😭

[cloud timber]

fr

[fluid wave]

Exing your damager also is a MUST I'm assuming?

[cloud timber]

for strike ex it's a 3x multiplier after getting the stats boost

from the powerups

[fluid wave]

Well no wonder my score

[sacred badger]

wtf?

[fluid wave]

My score was with a support buff and then striker without exed 0 potentials doing it

[fossil igloo]

On second thought... Think I should try to replicate it?

[thin wren]

who do ya all think will be the second best option after ss wally?

[cloud timber]

you can't

this is what i got trying to use erika (0/20)

[thin wren]

is uhhhh talking about glitches like this one allowed?

[cloud timber]

discussing the details of it would be sketchy

[sacred badger]

fairy single and electric multi next week

fire single huh.

gloria challenger or nc leaf?

[thin wren]

isn't electric mult done?

[thin wren]

nc leaf or ss may

ss may nuke is stronger but nc leaf fas faster setup and a lot more compression

she can also afford chase melony

[icy pendant]

next week is ice multi yeah

[thin wren]

nc red havers will be rejoicing

[sacred badger]

oh sorry, ice multi

[thin wren]

ice mult probably won't break 5 mil

[sacred badger]

dependss on team comp.

i'll probably do.... nc red, irida and bp barry

[cloud timber]

hala won't be as bad as i initially thought

[sacred badger]

holiday leon is going to be... itchy.

this is so bad ;x

on the otherhand, would want hail .-.;

[thin wren]

hala>holiday Leon

[warped gulch]

At this point just use Hala

[sacred badger]

yep hala better than a seasonal, unless he's bout to get pb or some stuff

[thin wren]

imagine if we still got freeze based pairs

[sacred badger]

(a lot of older seasonals need exrr nd pb)

i've got nothing for ice single unfortunately.

;x

nc red enjoyers still?

[thin wren]

don't you have irida

for st ice

[warped gulch]

Candice ?

[narrow sluice]

Happy with this.

[glossy token]

im gonna get such an atrocious score for ice

[warped gulch]

Ghetsis too

[sacred badger]

hrm irida huh.

[thin wren]

ice I believe in hala

mult ice

[sacred badger]

oh yeh ghetsiss is also pretty good.

[glossy token]

ok so question about hala

youve got 343 base attack. sync is 375 with grid, ice hammer is 235 with grid

[warped gulch]

What grid you are using ?

[glossy token]

am i wrong in thinking this is another case like dragon where dynamax cannon > sync spam

this, unless superduper 2 is potentially more valuable for boosting ice hammer

[warped gulch]

Why no tm mpr

[fossil igloo]

Triple Ice just sounds like Champion Red time to me.

[glossy token]

would prob be using him with redlax

so his mpr would be slower

[warped gulch]

Then drop that Tm Super Preperation and get more Sync tiles

[glossy token]

ig but hes going to be using his tm once anyway for +6atk

so why not get the free seun

[warped gulch]

More dmg is better tho

And Snorlax isn’t great with slow partner like him tho

So you’ll use Elio instead of Melony

[glossy token]

i mean

[warped gulch]

Or Colress if you want debuff Def aoe

Which slow a lot

[glossy token]

my ice roster is absolutely awful and i dont think its worth it to ex hala just for a slim margin more

[warped gulch]

And by that

[glossy token]

so like

[warped gulch]

You can only Sync like 3 times with him or maximum 4

[cloud timber]

do you have ex ghetsis

[glossy token]

nope 😭

my only power boosts are giovanni from way back when before power boosts were a specific thing and the ones that have cycled since april

so cyrus and zinnia

im mostly just trying to see if theres any way i can break 100k tbh

my hala has 0 investment atm, he may not even be 3/5 lmao

ok he is 3/5

phew

[thin wren]

wait hala compresses seun.1 mil is probably possible

[glossy token]

even with all the tm failure procs??

[warped gulch]

No

His Tm raise Accurate too

[glossy token]

you'll have a fail on atk and a fail on endure

[warped gulch]

So it won’t fail

[glossy token]

oh

i couldve sworn it gave you failures per individual element raised

interesting

[thin wren]

Does dire hit trigger super prep

[warped gulch]

No

Just Tm

[thin wren]

I LOVE RNG!!!!!

[thin wren]

Hala probably allows f2ps to get 1 mil

[glossy token]

yeah its just make em holla

[thin wren]

because egg glaceon also exists

[glossy token]

i so wish the field dc units were allowed to have type wish

by which i mean

weavile

[thin wren]

@warped gulch you think f2p comps can hit 1 mil in aoe ice?

[cloud timber]

yea dc gladion sync will be pathetic

but necessary

[glossy token]

its one of those things where like

[warped gulch]

They can

[glossy token]

unless you have a sprint you cannot get your first sync out under ice zone

[warped gulch]

I’ll try Ice Zone bc reset for Tm mpr will be pain

So less Tm is better for me imo

[thin wren]

will you try egg glaceon or dc glad

[warped gulch]

Idk

[thin wren]

can't you do both?

[warped gulch]

High chance is Glaceon bc my Glad isn’t EX

[thin wren]

reset for mpr and have ice zone

[warped gulch]

Yes i can, but i’ll try Ice Zone first to save time

[thin wren]

gl

[warped gulch]

Bc his low speed makes Sing spam is a pain to work

[thin wren]

I am probably gonna go hala grusha Barry

[warped gulch]

High chance if i ever want to use him with Melony, i’ll use with BP Barry

[thin wren]

hala with ice zone and tm seun mpr definitely gets 1 mil

[glossy token]

is melony the only unit with a dynamax ice move

[thin wren]

Yes but her move doesn't summon hail

[glossy token]

avery's counts as status so max guard, doesnt look like any of the other dynamax units have any ice moves period

i wonder if theres any way to cook up a big closing gmax resonance

[cloud timber]

imagine melony damage dealer

274 spa no multipliers xd

[copper otter]

Sing and a dream

[cloud timber]

but you'd get to slot in redlax or sc steven or ice zoner and also have nc blue melony

maybe 600k

[old valve]

Any suggestions for damage dealers on this damage challenge? I know Adaman's good at 3/5, but idk if 1/5 compares at all haha

Was also looking at Lodge Gloria and Victor, but, iunno

Oh right I have candies I should see if I can just candy Adaman to victory lol

[cloud timber]

if you can ex brendan he's better here but won't be able to do as well in upcoming single target

[old valve]

Brendan is better than Adaman here?

[cloud timber]

as for lodge gloria you could always try uhhh

[old valve]

Also I have 5 strike and 7 tech I think I can candy Adaman without regret lol

[cloud timber]

yeah candying adaman is good for a lot of things

[old valve]

Suggested grid for when I do so?

If any?

Oh yeah and uh what the heck else do I use for my team here

Acerola looks tempting but I feel like she might slow things down too much lol

[old valve]

Oh thanks!

[cloud timber]

need to shell out the 20k orbs to grab cs2 and it nets you a sync node in the process

but you can 1m without it

i got 1.37m with adaman and above 1.5m with brendan

[old valve]

Wack

I'll EX Brendan for now then I think

[cloud timber]

i never got the chance to try ss acerola but she should be better than not having it

[old valve]

Hmmmm

SSAcerola/Brendan/SSLyra maybe?

[cloud timber]

but you'd need to roll wise entry 2 on aaron

from ketsuban

spam defend order to run down sync timer, no animations at +6 defenses

[old valve]

Ahhhhhh

I see

I don't have any purple candies rn admittedly sooooo

My ass completely forgot to do last gauntlet 💀

[thin wren]

where sync spam

[cloud timber]

do you have nc blue

[old valve]

I do have NC blue actually

[cloud timber]

adaman/nc blue/melony

[old valve]

3/5 EX no role cake tho

[cloud timber]

exr won't matter here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj1ZbW7W_Zc

[old valve]

Melony? Lol

[cloud timber]

melony is the meta for having one of the fastest sync cd spams in the game

sing on paralyzed target is very fast

[old valve]

oh.

[cloud timber]

and not hindered by charging infliction or other passive like bp barry and colress

[old valve]

it'll be rough reaching the last sync without the deluxe skills

so without that and +2e on adaman you'll have trouble reaching 1m

but you won't have to spend resources on brendan

there's actually a lot of other move spammers that in theory would be better than melony but because most are 2 bar it's impossible to provide enough gauge efficiently enough

[thin wren]

I feel like you are a bit out of the loop so do you want a general introduction to dc meta?

[old valve]

When it comes to DC I do as a matter of fact feel entirely sauceless

An intro would be appreciated yes

[cloud timber]

the gist is just fitting in as many syncs as possible and melony is usually best for that if you can run nc blue to help setup

(while also maxing out most multipliers, you can usually ignore dedicated debuffing to def or spdef)

[warped gulch]

NC Blue and Melony is pretty standard comp rn

[old valve]

And I wouldn't want to use attacks from units like NC Blue more than I need to I presume?

[cloud timber]

no more than a single time

[warped gulch]

Unless your dmg dealer need some set up that they cant provide

[thin wren]

Your goal is to spam a single move with no anim to get a bunch of syncs

melony is the best at it

but she has her downsides

[old valve]

I'm so used to nontimed gameplay and using everything to bring the sync countdown down as "quickly" as possible that I never really thought about something like that actually being a time loss until very recently lol

[thin wren]

this pin explains the spam stuff well@old valve

[cloud timber]

yeah nobody does until they start getting involved in very specifically this mode

[thin wren]

Or time trials back in the day

[cloud timber]

yea

[old valve]

I do have Classic Red/Neo Champ Rosa/Chase too if those might be helpful here too

[thin wren]

back in my day we used Janine venom french spam

[cloud timber]

i wasn't following any metas back then

[old valve]

I'd assume not for the latter two but

Funny Redlax moments?

[warped gulch]

Redlax best partner normally is Elio

Most bc Melony really need gauge

[cloud timber]

yea elio sustains his gauge without having his passive proc every single time

[warped gulch]

Sadly bc of that Elio is really rng

Not consistent like Melony

[old valve]

Just so I'm sure also

No leaf blade spam right

[warped gulch]

Yeah

[old valve]

Just sing or whatev?

[cloud timber]

yeah none

[old valve]

Aiiiight

[cloud timber]

until after your last sync

[warped gulch]

Reset for early para

[cloud timber]

sing spam takes maybe 16-23 seconds or something per sync

[thin wren]

16+ time of enemy move usually

which is usually 4-5 seconds

[old valve]

So
NC Blue and Melony, with Melony dragging the sync countdown into the ground singlehandedly
And just so I'm 100% sure
Should I go with Brendan, or Adaman alongside them?

[cloud timber]

yep

[old valve]

Last bit was meant to be multiple choice not yes/no lol

Poorly worded on my part

[cloud timber]

brendan ideally for highest score

[old valve]

Roger roger

Aaand any suggested lucky skills for any of these beyond the obvious CS2 on Brendan?

[cloud timber]

without adrenaline or head start 1 on the sides very little matters

avoid troublemaker

[old valve]

Oh do I want to sync on both sides first?

[cloud timber]

and stuff like fast track, stoic, mad strength are also popups that eat bits of time

[old valve]

Guess I should EX Melony lol

[cloud timber]

always sync with support exes first

[old valve]

Got it

Oh wait uh now that I think about it

Wouldn't using NC Rosa instead of Melony be a net positive, or am I missing something about how Melony works here?

[cloud timber]

the drawback of nc rosa is her sync changing her forme

and reverting takes up a lot of time, more than her sprint exr saves

[old valve]

Oh right that takes time outside of the animation

Riiiight, gotcha

Teeter Dance is many things but it is not a single gauge spammable sleep inducer lol

[rain copper]

you don't want to confuse the opponents

the animation playing eats bits of time, and it happens every time they are about to attack

so the time lost is sizeable

[cloud timber]

yea

[old valve]

Melony Sprint EXR when DeNa

[copper otter]

actually... considering every pokefair unit now has an EX Role, General Pool units should be getting them now....... right?

[old valve]

...Wait, every fair unit has an EX Role by now?

[copper otter]

yep

Lear was the last one, he's getting it Thursday

[old valve]

I haven't checked the datamines that closely but I presume he's getting sprint so he can break the sound barrier

But uh. Huh.

[rain copper]

nah he gets ||Strike||

[old valve]

Wack

[cloud timber]

less themed but very massive for psychic triple

[old valve]

Very fair actually

[pallid girder]

No. Lear is the last fair to get grid expansion but there're still a lot of fairs don't have exr.

The og champion 3 haven't got exr yet for example.

[copper otter]

My brain is dead after work, my B

[rose basalt]

ss gladion possible for fairy single?

[rain copper]

he should be able to score 1m at worst with Penny and SS Wally

[copper otter]

He can definitely hit 1 mil

[rose basalt]

no ss wally

[thin wren]

psychic triple will hit 5 mil imo

[thin wren]

what are your fairy enablers

[cloud timber]

pls turn off pings ty

[rose basalt]

what you mean by enablers my guy

if you mean what fairy types i have

[rain copper]

enablers/enhancers are who setup wtz and/or lower rebuffs

SS Wally is a Fairy enabler for example

[rose basalt]

bruh

couldve said zone/debuff

[rain copper]

saying enablers makes me sound like an expert tho

[cloud timber]

rebuff is very importantly not debuff

it's its own thing
