Damage Challenge

[copper otter]

I only improved my Nc leaf because my dumb head had vigilance on her

So increased it by an extra 200k

[long silo]

Which reminds me I need to improve my own NC Leaf run

Ran out of circle for that last sync

[copper otter]

Same but meh, not to bothered by it

Way too rng filled to push a +9 sync in there

I got it at 1 second left

[crude sandal]

Eh, I'm happy with my 3M clear with her

[copper otter]

[long silo]

Well mine is not yet 3m though not surr if it's possible with circle on last sync. We'll see if I don't get lazy

[vernal condor]

getting evasion buff but not dodging enough moves for it to matter

[copper otter]

I dodged like 6 moves in order to squeeze an extra sync. It's pain

[vernal condor]

I probably only needed 2 tbh

but i only dodged 1

what pains me is the earthquake where 2/3 dodged

[finite yew]

feel like I’m missing something but I’m tryna resist using my tech coin on ssteven lol

[pseudo stag]

Finally got the 1 mil

[finite yew]

seems to be about 200k per steven sync which seems a bit low

[pseudo stag]

BP Barry was not helping at all, went back to using Colress

[vagrant ivy]

-don't sync with bp barry if he isn't EX'd
-make sure to be on attack forme
-keep terrain up

[finite yew]

yeah I’m doing 2 and 3 but not syncing w/ Barry at all, is the 2x sync boost that good?

[brazen escarp]

wdym

i was kind of in a hurry 😅

[vagrant ivy]

you aren't getting 2x sync boost if you don't have him support EX'd

[finite yew]

my colress is only 1/5 so I can’t reallyyy switch Barry out for him either

But yeah I can EX Barry

I’m just curious about how much better using his sync w the 2x boost is, compared to just using a SSSteven sync w/out 2x boost

[brazen escarp]

thhere is +40 btw

absolutely insane

at 3* 0/20

tbf there are alot of buffs

[crude sandal]

You haven't seen nothing yet

[brazen escarp]

thats a brawly

[crude sandal]

Yes

You should see NC Hop's damage

[brazen escarp]

this is 3* with the buffs

[brazen escarp]

yea but we are talking about how much raw damage even just a brawly is doing

[crude sandal]

With the proper team

[brazen escarp]

lemme check without the insane buffs

oh wait

mb

ok wth

[crude sandal]

Ok, that is nutty, but what team did you use?

[brazen escarp]

uhm

thats a 3* 0/20 brawly

with -3 fighting rebuff

fighting zone

2 physical up next

2 sync up next

2 sync boosts

critical

1 hp

+6 atk

-6 def

[crude sandal]

Ok, firstly, PMUN doesn't affect sync moves

[brazen escarp]

ah

ok

wait lemme fix it

[crude sandal]

Unless there's a passive that states so otherwise like NC Cheren

[brazen escarp]

then i see max dmg with 5* 20/20

ok this is with 3* brawly

lets do 5* 20/20

i accidently did sync buff on the opposing team 😅

insane

ok lemme do a realistic one

wth

still

how does raw dmg work btw

now imagine he had strike ex

if he was ex

why does this boost dmg by so much

man wth is this shit tho

[brazen escarp]

look at this @misty forge

[misty forge]

That's what impossible numbers look like

Yea

Someone post the 9 millions astonish

[brazen escarp]

what does raw dmg mean btw?

9 mil from astonish

[brazen escarp]

what is this btw

[vagrant ivy]

how would you have all 3 hoenn circles up at once...

[brazen escarp]

what does it mean tho

i just randomly clicked it

NAH WTH

although this is impossible

with all regions checked

at 3

but wth

[pearl dawn]

The big methods for this game mode are spamming status moves that fail so you get to your Sync Moves fast.

This is commonly done by moves like Sing or Stun Spore, which will fail when enemies have a status condition already on them, making them very fast to spam.

Buffing and debuffing moves have this same effect, but only, for some reason, if they debuff or buff two separate stats. Otherwise they are slow to spam.

[brazen escarp]

ahh now i understand

thanks

[pearl dawn]

No problem.

[safe prawn]

I got twice to an extra sync with her

Both times she did not crit

That’s why I stopped lol

[fallen trail]

ok so theres an actual reason 1 stat buffs are slow but 2 stats are fast

when you do the 1 stat the game pulls the text “X’s Stat cannot go any higher!”, which is slow

with 2 stats, it doesn’t want to pull up 2 text boxes at once, so it pulls up “But it failed!”, which is much faster

thats the simplest explanation

[pearl dawn]

Bad coding bug that makes it work, love that.

[fallen trail]

its a Feature ™️

[pearl dawn]

This whole game mode in a nutshell:

[vagrant ivy]

this is likely what people will be running with brawly if they even have sc steven

even if he crits everything, gets SEUN for all of his 4 syncs, max rolls everything at +100 attack gear its still just above 750k

so no he is not doing 1m

[vernal condor]

Wait discord made me leave this thread

wtf

[vernal condor]

brawly is dogshit

[vagrant ivy]

well he's free and a genpool what do you expect

he is the only fighting f2p tech

i think riley will outdo him realistically

[copper otter]

I'm just now realizing.... i had a mediocre rock run

I missed quadqueueing max move, i didn't get MPR on last sync, and I accidentally buffed steven for PMuN over diantha to max...... 1.4 mil

[fair mist]

wait oleana works?

[copper otter]

Yes

[brazen escarp]

how did u calculate that

[brazen escarp]

why do u need a tech

[vagrant ivy]

it would be for 1.5x sync damage but since he doesn't have EX he doesn't get that

thats why bea is probably better

she just barely gets 1M in 3v3 so probably 400-500k in 3v1

[fair mist]

so shes better than aaron assuming gauge doesnt suck?

[fair mist]

oh

uh

[copper otter]

3/5 oleana btw

[fair mist]

i dont have sc steven

[copper otter]

Rip

[fair mist]

nor is she 3/5

[copper otter]

You need 3/5

[fair mist]

well fuck

[copper otter]

Max move gives aoe def buffs at 3/5, allowing you to buff spdef on Diantha without B move

Gauge isn't bad either because you have MG boost and have to use Steven's TMs anyways

So use the TMs to boost gauge

It's much tighter than just melony spam, because you have to focus on move gauge, but it provides a faster rush speed

[fair mist]

does oleana generally only need 1/5 for rush strats vs no status param

its just that ss diantha is quirky

[copper otter]

She can DO 1/5 as long as she's EXR, but it's agonizing

Because 3/5 also provides pep rally on MG boost

[vernal condor]

i mean 3/5 only gets speed buffs

which nc blue provides for example

[copper otter]

3/5 helps diantha here specifically

def buff on Max Guard so she can boost spdef without B move

Huge timesave

The only things you need to pray for is MPR on steven's TM

Need at least 2 TM MPRs MAYBE 3 if you can squeeze it for Diamond storm

[daring storm]

Easiest million yet

[lethal siren]

no gems reset for dc

[icy pendant]

but we love to see a ticket reset

[safe prawn]

3rd time getting extra sync with leaf
3rd time not critting

I’m crying
Or calling the police

4 time
It did crit
The one before no

I just wanna cross the 3mln plz

[thin wren]

pray to the rng gods

offer 300 gems as a sacrifice

[safe prawn]

Nah imma just stop here bc I crossed the 8 mln which was my goal

Imma enjoy the weekend without nightmares of leaf not critting

Don’t think I’m sharing something new tbh

Diantha was first try but I have not seen so much higher points

It’s 5 sync from leaf, everything you see there has Rolex

[snow raptor]

do you do something special on hau ? or just lwoer def with colress, lower spdef with yardennia, and the super effectiv on hau sync thing ?

[safe prawn]

I also grab the befuddle2 node on gardenia’s grid

So she has to do 1 less metal sound

And I reset for Cynthia tm mpr ofc, even if in my final clear I got the +2 atk from gardenia’s passive

Also, getting +2 Eva from gardenia helps lowering the par RNG

You need 1 par and miss or 2 par to unleash the last nuke

My last nuke was without supereff bc I got it for the previous one kinda

If you are more skilled than me and can time it correctly you can go 4 mln

[vapid kernel]

There it is

The number as calculated

[copper otter]

Whats your gears on the cynthia comp?

[safe prawn]

Pure trash

I do not invest in gear anymore

The only gears I’d like to invest are the ones with the champion theme skill tbh lol

[copper otter]

Ahhhh that might be why it was easier for me

[safe prawn]

Too lazy to roll

[copper otter]

Wait, did you see my champion gear yesterday?

[vapid kernel]

I WANNA SEE

[safe prawn]

Nope

[copper otter]

Hold up

The wtz passives

Shame that SSR Cynthia ISN'T A CHAMPION

They did a funny and gave her "Sinnoh, Sygna Suit, Battle Facility Foe and something dumb

[misty forge]

60 atk

[fluid anvil]

thats a good bracelet for Arc Cynthia

[misty forge]

Idk, 60 atk is kinda shitty

[copper otter]

60 atk is base atk that can be remediated with a +20 atk pin

[misty forge]

Like, this is insane but 40 hp is just

Eugh

[copper otter]

I'm not getting rid of those passives just for a slightly better attack stat

Plus, def and hp is a very good bonus

[misty forge]

Lock the 3% reroll the rest

Wtz is kinda ehhh

Anyway

[fluid anvil]

60 Atk is fine

[copper otter]

How is wtz ehh when 90% of champions use WTZ to begin with?

I say it's much more versatile than opp status imo

Also champion's pinned

[fluid anvil]

opp status/para is the best by far for DC
outside of DC WTZ is pretty good

[safe prawn]

I have good champion gears but for hse

With dmg reduction

Rip

[copper otter]

Damage reduction is still a godsend

Just much more niche

[fluid anvil]

there are some top scoring DC teams that dont have any WTZ
liek NC Reds team for example

[misty forge]

It's still situational

[copper otter]

ok.

[crude sandal]

[misty forge]

Also, "90% of champions" use wtz if you have the premium wtz suited for them

[copper otter]

[misty forge]

Yeah that one can be the big UB differential

I personally pin crit3% and critastrophe 3% over everything else

[copper otter]

Critastrophe is universally the best, but also the hardest to get

[misty forge]

Wish it had some extra stats ngl

[copper otter]

Wish it was actually useful... paldea only is yikes

It's godtier for Clavell...... if you have him

[crude sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/ogerpon-pokemon-nod-gif-6252740989071573509

Wellspring Ogerpon to the rescue

[safe prawn]

My clavell would enjoy it

[acoustic chasm]

Me wishes SS Lana had Brainpower at 4/5 instead of 5/5
Would actually spend the extra candy then

[true locust]

Im ready 😏 to beat my score hehe

[crude sandal]

Goddamn bro

[true locust]

Alot time spend on ranked too get this

[copper otter]

My trainer in pasio, how many feathers did you use?

[true locust]

Like 3 days off this stupid reset

I use pykou trick

5 use not get reset

[copper otter]

Oh, i can't use that trick

My phone auto saves the stats despite being offline

[true locust]

For me work but this took me 3 day get

When was ranked event

I spend🤣

The worst part off this event

[acoustic chasm]

Wait you can reset if you roll with wifi off?

[true locust]

Yeap

[misty forge]

Well it's great for all Phys paldeans

Still 6%

[acoustic chasm]

[true locust]

But after 1h when you get nothing 🤣

You want do this

Throw phone out off window haha

[acoustic chasm]

LOL

[true locust]

I can say this took me maybe 20h or more in 3 days

[copper otter]

Sadas, what theme skill do you go for the most?

[true locust]

Not something wat is easy

[misty forge]

Wasting hours on meaningless skill gear to then waste hours into meaningless game modes

Hell nah

[true locust]

I roll main charakter

[copper otter]

I feel like champion, MC and specific type seem to be the only ones worth locking with a pin

[true locust]

And regions / champs

[vagrant ivy]

how many ever pins have y'all bought in total

[misty forge]

Objectively speaking MC champion Rival cover the most bases

[misty forge]

Like 8?

[vagrant ivy]

...

[misty forge]

7?

[true locust]

No just 2 on pin

[misty forge]

Something like that

[copper otter]

Oh right. Rival is pretty big too

[vagrant ivy]

you guys are rich in 5* PUs huh

[true locust]

Since get pin was the hardest part off it

[misty forge]

Especially after SS lear

[true locust]

Im ritch yes

I have alot 5 pums

[copper otter]

I would rather use steel for that tho

[misty forge]

It's more that I rarely ex enough to run in negatives

[copper otter]

Like if you're doing HSE, Types would be much more beneficial

[misty forge]

Eh, if depends, rival checks SS lear, NC silver, Blue

[true locust]

Rivals is not offen for me get

[misty forge]

It's definitely good

[copper otter]

Hmm...

[vagrant ivy]

i've EX'd all of my PFs, MFs, seasonals and AFs with the exception of ny lance so i just ex random shit like flint these days

ig thats why i run out of them so quickly

[misty forge]

Yeah I don't ex flintlike units lol

[vagrant ivy]

no sane person would

[true locust]

I dont ex trash units too🤣

[crude sandal]

What team again?

[true locust]

Same i use befor

[crude sandal]

I'm guessing with NC Bianca

[true locust]

Just hop is caked

[vagrant ivy]

when you have no good units to EX desperation sets in quickly

[mystic quail]

I wish I have nchop

[vagrant ivy]

or just sheer boredom

[crude sandal]

But I think Redlax and NC Rosa will be one of the best

[true locust]

So easy plus i now alot more thing then befor

[snow raptor]

oh ok thats a lot more than i imagined, thanks ! will try that later

[true locust]

Good gear

[misty forge]

I 20/20 Eggmons instead

[true locust]

Not realy nc hop bianca colres is top fight

[misty forge]

[copper otter]

Green egg and hams lover energy

[true locust]

Do solo🤣 like me

[misty forge]

Solo is easy

With broken units

Too easy

Using actually 1/5-3/5 seasonals + Eggmons is harder

Or gen pools

[true locust]

Im not egg fun

[crude sandal]

Using my team of Redlax and NC Rosa. Also having only +3 attack with only 2x support sync

[copper otter]

Eggs are only fun in LG tbh

[misty forge]

Eggs are fun in anything if you have the balls for them

I did a nidoqueen royale clear last week

[copper otter]

I've used them in CS. And I'd rather use Marlon over them

[misty forge]

Then there's the many tech lapeas clears

Vs Argenta, vs Anabel

Vs Nita too

[copper otter]

Marlon can at least be a psuedo tank for me

[crude sandal]

Oh lol, I forgot the -1 fighting rebuff

[fallen trail]

ok if i use c rosa and ss lusa which does more damage between a terrain setter and laser spam or a paralyzer and sing/sync spam

or is ss steven better idk lol

[misty forge]

Sslussa = DPS spam

[crude sandal]

Actually NVM, I do have it

[sour lark]

LuSSa actually uses her attack move for this? Wao

[fallen trail]

i thought maybe

[true locust]

Yeap

[fallen trail]

no aoe penalty

[sour lark]

[fallen trail]

so it’s actually worth

and its fast

animation wise

[sour lark]

Thank you, I should try it out

[misty forge]

It's extremely RNG light

[true locust]

https://youtu.be/GWMTEIdcdFc?si=cxg6oJFlH_g4ylVq

[crude sandal]

Probably the best team for next DC
https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=010102064800&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=15010101&t0=44444&x0=true&g0=AAECAwQFBgcRGhwmKSss&v1=024401014501&s1=3&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=13016403&t1=44444&x1=true&g1=AAECAwQFBggLDh0gIiksLS4v&v2=000000014300&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=15010301&t2=44444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFERMWGRocHiAmKCo

[true locust]

He did this on first round

Not sure about this team:)

Alot issue

[crude sandal]

Like what?

[true locust]

No miss🤣

Not many sync whit hop

Set zone is dam slow

If you want set 3 times jesus

Need rosa rebuff get

[crude sandal]

Damage-wise, this is better than NC Bianca

[true locust]

I try lax befor

And never get this high like original team

[crude sandal]

Well, we never knew about Sing spam before

[true locust]

I try last fight dc

Not long ago🤣

3 vs 3

[crude sandal]

Wasn't last fighting 3v3 meta was Teeter Dance spam?

From NC Rosa

[true locust]

I did not use rei

Just nc hop

And try lax team

[crude sandal]

Well, Rei has Slippery Sidekicks to become like Chase

[true locust]

You just do 3 sync

Event 999k

Its just 3m

[crude sandal]

Also with the team I have, x2 sprint units will make Hop reach his B Move faster for faster multiplier set up

[true locust]

All its slow b move

Set zone

Lax tm rosa switch forms

Just you get 3 syncs

[crude sandal]

Well, with Rosa, you go to Pirouette using sync, use her B Move for the fighting rebuff and switch back to Aria and Sing spam from there

[true locust]

Yes but all this take alot time

Lax tm too

[teal harness]

got 800kish with ss steven 1/5, I'll take it, I'll probably get a better score once he gets 3/5

[crude sandal]

At least Hop doesn't need to use Dire Hit All+ to set himself up. Just Rosa's B Move and Redlax's TM is enough to complete his crit

[true locust]

He need use one time it:?

Rosa have in grid

[crude sandal]

Team Sharp Entry won't matter

[brazen dew]

What are you using with him? I got 1m with chase and melony without critting all

[crude sandal]

Like I said, Rosa's B Move and Redlax TM gives already +3 crit to Hop

[true locust]

Yeap

But bianca and colress for me its the best still:)

[crude sandal]

Will you try my team on Tuesday?

[true locust]

Im not spend on hop extra energy:)

[crude sandal]

Then just remove TM MPR

[true locust]

I have him + 4 and its over

No ranked no spend haha

First i do my team:)

[crude sandal]

Ok

[fluid anvil]

the 3,4M top team for NC Hop 3v1 last time was with NC Bianca and Colress (?)
Redlax is too slow and NC Bianca -2 rebuff > NC Rosa -1 rebuff (for 3v1)

[true locust]

Yeap i use bianca and colress

But now i learn alot new things so i will test it out

[long silo]

Wait you can reset for stats???

[teal harness]

bp barry and ss lana

[crude sandal]

You do realize that Redlax and NC Rosa have sprint EXR?

[true locust]

Sprint not help get hop b move

Its about use moves

[crude sandal]

And also Redlax and Rosa can do Potion spam at the start

[fluid anvil]

still not fast enough. NC rosa B-move is like 15 seconds and each Redlax TM is slow also

[true locust]

Lana nice

[acoustic chasm]

No Brainpower sadly

[crude sandal]

Isn't Sing spam faster than Colress's spam?

[fluid anvil]

its negated by Redlaxs TMs being slow and also Bianca has flinch and lots of evasion
and -2 rebuff > - 1 rebuff
and unova circle boosts

[fallen trail]

ss lusa still better than ss steven right

[true locust]

No

Ss steven is way better

[fallen trail]

oh fr?

[crude sandal]

Adam, what's your grid on NC Hop during the previous 3v1 fighting DC?

[fallen trail]

whats his best team

[true locust]

Nc blue steven melony

[neat burrow]

All my homies hate Barry

[thick stump]

real

we need another good rock nuker

[true locust]

My grid same like you post just no tmp just 10 attack for + 4E

Its all diffrence

[fallen trail]

ok so steven gets +7 with his tm and pinpoint entry

assuming +13 with blues x speeds

+15 if blue discharges once

[dry whale]

All right took a short break now starting to complete rank. First one I'm happy with is Rock. Two more to go

https://youtu.be/X6xAWZLvB5g?si=48p11BW7tDmS3Hsg

[fallen trail]

how should we get the other +3?

[crude sandal]

Rosa can technically do the same thing that Bianca can do with evasion

[neat burrow]

Nice thanks for a video now I can maybe see wtf I’m messing up with that team

[true locust]

Why you need it he

He don’t have sync multiplayers

[brazen dew]

Innate

[true locust]

Nothing at all

[fallen trail]

his innate

he has rising tide innate

[crude sandal]

Also I'm dumb, Chase Down is only for moves, not for sync

[fallen trail]

would 2 discharges or like a discharge and a cosmic power be better

or better yet… melony’s tm?

[fair mist]

its slowponnent sync

[true locust]

You can use nc rosa then

And get 2 eva up

[fallen trail]

[true locust]

This was just 1 target para

So i miss alot from skill gears boost

[crude sandal]

I'm still gonna double down on my team being the best especially since we discovered some gnarly strats

[true locust]

Need wait them we can check it:)

[crude sandal]

One question, how many syncs did you do with Hop last fighting 3v1?

4 syncs?

[true locust]

Yeap

Same like i did 3 vs 3

4 syncs

But now i have new idea

Will try get 5

[crude sandal]

Conditions:

• +3 attack
• +5 speed
• 4 sync buffs
• Fully debuffed Def., Sp. Def. and speed
• -1 fighting rebuff
• SEUN
• Fighting zone

[fallen trail]

why +3 atk

doesnt he max his atk on entry

[fallen trail]

who synced in what order

[true locust]

Rosa blue stevens

But you need +2 eva from rosa b move from start

Not get reset

[crude sandal]

Oh wait he does?

Lol wait

[true locust]

Issue wat i see now is they use x speed

Wat is diffrent then befor

So hop will have issue low it

[fallen trail]

c hop maxes his atk on entry yeah

[crude sandal]

Same conditions but with +6 attack

[fallen trail]

lightning legs passive

[true locust]

Speed will be -4

Not -6

No time use b move

[crude sandal]

IIRC, Hop's TM is X Attack All

[fallen trail]

no lol

his tm is fighting zone

[true locust]

His tmp is and crit all

[crude sandal]

No, I mean the enemy Hop

[fallen trail]

and self speed +3 sp def -1

o

idk that

[true locust]

It was befor

X attack

Now all have speed only

This have speed all have speed

[crude sandal]

Wait, all of the DCs this rotation have X Speed All?

[true locust]

Now only x speed

[fallen trail]

its weird that all the later stages shifted to x speed when the stages were all made at the same time

[true locust]

Nothing else

[crude sandal]

X Speed, not X Speed All

Just trying to be sure

[fallen trail]

same diff depends on the stage

3 target or single

[crude sandal]

Ok then, but -4 speed will barely make a difference anyways'

[true locust]

Will be lower then

But i check last time in psychic dc nemona have x speed all

So maybe some old not change?

[crude sandal]

2nd Hop sync

Same conditions as first except with 6 syncs buffs

[true locust]

We need wait then for it if they realy switch it out

[crude sandal]

3rd sync, this time with maxed Inertia

[true locust]

Still is less then 3 m

[crude sandal]

You said 4 syncs right?

This is only the 3rd

[true locust]

4 when no rosa lax itc

Not same team lol

Plus you need some miss for it also

[crude sandal]

4 syncs is possible, especially when you get +2 evasion from Rosa and dodge a few moves

[true locust]

Its not like you get it just like thet

[crude sandal]

I know

[true locust]

You now you need set zone 3 time

[crude sandal]

Now the 4th and final sync

[true locust]

Since its befor next hop sync run out

Get this team 4 sync will be realy rng

Not sure if this happend

Sinc lax tm use alot time

Plus lax you now

He raise def when use tmpr

Wat losing time as well

[true locust]

Rosa switch for raise special up

[crude sandal]

Sp. Def., but practically the same thing

[true locust]

We will see wat happend then:)

[pastel bone]

what's a good team for barry in super sparring

all the guides I'm seeing have 5/5 ss diantha but mine is 4/5

[crude sandal]

3/5 is good enough

But you kinda need SC Steven and Oleana

Aaron if you don't have Oleana

[unborn otter]

3/5 oleana

I have 1/5

[pastel bone]

I have them

just need the guide

[woven fjord]

Whew. So much better than last time.

[maiden mica]

Say, I got Paulo and NC Silver, are they any good for Barry DC?

Or do I have to use C Blue?

[glad kraken]

both are awkward since they rely on Sandstorm for their nukes

[maiden mica]

Hmm, and that wastes time

Damn

[glad kraken]

if you have 3/5 SS Diantha, or 3/5 Gordie, those are the ideal pairs

[maiden mica]

I have Gordie, but just 1/5 or 2/5, idr which

I do have a maxed Olivia, though.

[safe prawn]

Emmet also got 1 mln but 5/5 exr

[maiden mica]

Still, this is a new record for me

[still hearth]

You should hit higher than that

[maiden mica]

No EXR for Lusamine and Redlax isn't EX

I'm working on a budget here

[still hearth]

My Lusamine isn’t EXR’ed either

[maiden mica]

Huh

I could probably shave a few seconds without the Redlax TM animation

Maybe squeeze in a sync

The lack of para to constantly proc Elio's sing fail will hurt, though, since my Barry is still at 4*

[still hearth]

Colress could work maybe

[maiden mica]

Nope, still 2/5

[delicate junco]

i feel so stupid...I EX'd my DC Nemona just now but realized moments later Victor 6* with spectrier would have had more value...

[maiden mica]

5* power ups are not very expensive tbh

[delicate junco]

i wouldnt be lamenting my decision if i could afford them

even then, i dont have enough spirits to ex someone else

my only 6* rock besides nemona is SC Hilda, and unfortunately this ranked event is an ST

[still hearth]

Wait did u just EX her just for the DC? 😭

[delicate junco]

W-well 💦

I didnt have a 3/5 gordie so...

I figured her rock zone would be able to make up the difference

but i also dont really know how to do this event since status spam is outlawed

kinda the crux of this whole meta

[woven fjord]

Aaron can spam Defend Order. This is especially easy if you have a unit who can buff Def/Sp. Def +6 at once like SSA Cynthia.

[delicate junco]

Aaron isnt ex'd

[fossil igloo]

Why does Barry have to be so terrible?

[fiery rose]

Hmm. Debating Aaron over Elio as movespammer for SS Steven in the aoe psychic one

ss steven runs on buff count for his innate multi so the maxed defenses will do him some good

[fair mist]

Not worth

Melony and nc blue can get there

[cloud timber]

i think they're missing nc blue

complicates quite a bit

[fair mist]

Well aaron is just slower

[fluid wave]

Is calem good enough to make up for speed so Melony can spam all the way

Going to try with deoxys as main attacker

[icy pendant]

team +6 is way more than one +4, and team +6 already struggles enough

[cloud timber]

probably not, still very possible to run out of gauge with +6 spe everything and melony does with lear this time

so lacking speed buffs and no mga to compensate is bad

if you're lacking sonia he might be next best but at that point it's likely better to just rely on elio if you have him

[delicate junco]

i saw someone reach 1 mil with caitlin earlier in nemona dc

how?

i used the same units they did but only got half as much dps

[cloud timber]

https://youtu.be/XRo3tu4fDZA?si=5QzE6X6IR5eEtGFA

pykuo usually uploads stuff there

[dusk sundial]

3/5 and ex?

[delicate junco]

5/5 ye

[fluid wave]

does it matter whom you paralyze or is there a specific reason for paralyzing the right one in that video

[vapid kernel]

Happily taking this

[cloud timber]

actually bp barry/colress should still be better than calem with melony but that's just a guess, wouldn't have tested that

paralyzing side cripples their speed more, sides have 3x the speed stat of center

[fluid wave]

i haven't exed melony yet to know how much more impactful is 1 more sync is but yeah i have barry

doesnt matter which side in any dc?

[delicate junco]

is super powered 3 that much better than cs2, yeesh

[cloud timber]

minimal difference between sides but right side moves first so it can be +1 chance for full para proc

[fluid wave]

i have been doing center only up to this day

[cloud timber]

usually not enough to worry about if your cookie count is low and even then

[fluid wave]

i hope my 2/5 deoxys barry and calem can break first mil

[cloud timber]

don't use calem with barry

[fluid wave]

oh i have bianca

i forgot

how could i have forgotten

[cloud timber]

bp barry plus bianca would be good then

though uh that wouldn't do much for maxing steven's innate

[fluid wave]

what innate

[delicate junco]

648k

[cloud timber]

rising tide, need a bunch of stat buffs to max

[delicate junco]

could it simply be their gear is just that sick

[cloud timber]

look at the description for his sync

[delicate junco]

80 Sp.a and 2% sync damage

[fluid wave]

"The more the user’s stats are raised, the greater the power of this attack."?

[icy pendant]

yes that is rising tide

[cloud timber]

the equivalent of it ye

[fluid wave]

still, psychic terrain would be better than supports that buff his attack defense or other stats

idk "how much" raised by each all stats

though

to know the diff

[icy pendant]

rising tide maxes at +120% at 18 stat buffs

[fluid wave]

def more than... one psychic terrain 1.5x

[icy pendant]

so you need a damage dealer that buffs more than 8 stat ranks for wtz to be worth over maxed rising tide

[fluid wave]

dont think i have sup that can buff ALL his stats though

[icy pendant]

and that assumes both occur at the same part of the order of operations which I don't believe they do

[pallid girder]

SSSteven can max his own multiplier. A bit slow tho.

[cloud timber]

could also dual spam with bp barry

[fluid wave]

he'd need +6 ATK DEF SP DEF SPEED

yeah too much

[icy pendant]

rising tide maxes at 18 cumulative buffs

[pallid girder]

? You don't need specific stat.

[icy pendant]

rising tide also includes crit

[fluid wave]

so it doesn't matter which i pick out of the missing ones?

so he gets 6 sp attack + 3 cr hit by himself so i just add any 9 other and that's fine?

[cloud timber]

yeah

[fluid wave]

oh well that's easier...

[pallid girder]

+8 bc he also has +1 acc on entry.
He has cosmic power so in the worst case you spam 4 cosmic power and get +8 from there.

[fluid wave]

OH.

then bianca for sure.

as 3rd

but it is 4 attacks. a little bit of time sacrifice

[cloud timber]

probably worth it

[fluid wave]

def will try

when my auto on masters day ends.

[neat burrow]

Finally cracked 1M on Barry

[dusty ivy]

Sync rush or dps for psychic

Lussa

[plush palm]

sync rush definitely

[delicate junco]

Okay now im really confused

By pure luck i found a 75 sp.a bandana and a pin that caitlin can both use

The pin even grants psychic sync damage up

....and somehow im doing even less damage than before????

H-how

[dusty ivy]

You need to provide way more context than that

[icy pendant]

Are you doing the same number of syncs, etc.?

[delicate junco]

Yes

Same pattern, psychic terrain boosted sync from caitlin

[icy pendant]

yeah if you can provide recording or more context that would be great

[delicate junco]

My best was 648k, but now im scoring like 550k

Do type gears have innate bonus damage or something?

[icy pendant]

they do not

this is why context/recording would be appreciated

[cloud timber]

could be a lot of missed crits

among a bunch of other things

[delicate junco]

Isnt +3 gauranteed?

[icy pendant]

no, 80%

+3 crit is only sure crit on regular moves

[cloud timber]

syncs are -1 crit

[delicate junco]

I keep forgetting that

Also for added context i replaced cs2 with super powered 3 as well

[cloud timber]

out of curiosity

-3 spdef all

one more crit would have 1m'd

[copper otter]

Missed one crit..... whatever, i'll take it.

8 mil. I'm good

[thick stump]

i tried this earlier too and could only get 850k

mind games blue?

[cloud timber]

yeah

[thick stump]

did you have gio tank

[cloud timber]

yep

[thick stump]

for his +2 eva

good to know

[delicate junco]

Of course the time i record i get my best run yet lmao

[cloud timber]

i also had pinch boost on gear which did get to activate

[thick stump]

ahh ok

[thick stump]

damn thats some p good gear

[cloud timber]

the hidden one is just fighting p move and s move dr 5%

all my gear is off 2* green and yellow and 1* yellow feathers, pink feather users can still do way better ofc

[copper otter]

Two things that would have made this run better.

1. Get rid of psychic terrain healing on Bianca, small time save.
2. Don't use psychic terrain after it fades out. Do it JUST before it does as the time it takes to disappear is a timeloss

[cloud timber]

better gridding and less (no?) missed crits

[fallen trail]

ok 4 steven syncs after both the other two synced

very nice

i imagine the ones cracking 4 mil are using lear?

[cloud timber]

mostly, adam said he cracked 4m with ss steven but no screenshot

[dusty ivy]

Not lussa?

[cloud timber]

haven't seen people do much with her this time

[icy pendant]

lussa is only good in dps mode, but dps mode is greatly outshone by sync spam

[dusty ivy]

Damn

Sad

[cloud timber]

oh he did post 3.8m

[icy pendant]

is lear at 3/5 good enough? it might just need a differently timed snatch right?

[fallen trail]

gotta snatch all 3

[icy pendant]

oh cringe, compared to 4/5 which can just snatch once right?

[cloud timber]

4/5 has no advantage grid-wise

snatch needs successful use for that

so you can't use in advance

[icy pendant]

oh snatch fails if the target has no raised stats?

[cloud timber]

yep

[icy pendant]

boo

[fallen trail]

oh in that case 3/5 is the same lol

[copper otter]

No actually. There is one thing that 4/5 lear can get.

3/5 requires you drop a sync node due to requiring snatch MPR for max damage output. 4/5 can get that.

[icy pendant]

no?

oh there is a soften up there

[cloud timber]

not sure what 2 more energy accomplishes over this

[icy pendant]

you run nc blue you click x spatk exactly never

[copper otter]

[icy pendant]

it's invert's grid but go up to the top nodes from the left instead

[copper otter]

I'm not using NC Blue, usong Chase, but it would be the same thing

[cloud timber]

still top 50 without chase, rosa, or energy expansion

people are just not trying

3.2m

[copper otter]

Tbf there isn't a need

[icy pendant]

I got a deceptively high rank with ss steven missing a sync

[cloud timber]

it's a rerun with ranked active

but even then it feels weird

[copper otter]

People vocally despise Damage challenge too so...

No gems = no need to do it anymore

[icy pendant]

1/3 of a free sync pair still...

[copper otter]

I think the only unit people really wanted was Nemona because Paldea

[plush palm]

i wanna 3/5 everyone eventually but thats it

and thats only bc i do LG

[cloud timber]

people vocally despise every part of the game tbf

[fallen trail]

“i hate lg” “i hate dc” “i hate weekly battle rally” dawg why do you play this game?? 😭

[cloud timber]

fr

[fallen trail]

nemona is like the 2nd worst one

[cloud timber]

though admittedly i'm growing to that point gradually more and more

[copper otter]

doesn't matter. Free Paldea unit

-Literally everyone who plays casually

[thick stump]

in the words of lysandre

pokemon..

[fluid anvil]

UBs. i like rally too tho.
and DC, sometimes

[pearl dawn]

I mean, the biggest era of this game was when those game modes didn't exist (or was very new in the case of the Gauntlet.)

So I mean throw around the words of "causation" and "correlation" in some arbitrary order.

It makes sense..

[dry whale]

Originally did 4 million flat a couple hours ago but realized I had the wrong skill gear on. This could have been a 4.2m but damage rolls did not cooperate but I'm still happy with it.

2 stages down 1 to go.

https://youtu.be/enjrRtPR0Z8?si=uoEN08HnxsAfc2Mj

[fluid wave]

Omg even though I missed so much critical

I freaking hate this game rng ***tting on me but

This could be my highest

😱🤯 my first million I can feel it

I still freaking miss critical. I think candying him to 3/5 is worth it. I only have anni Skyla and Elsa that's limited tech

[cloud timber]

yea he does a lot

[fluid wave]

Did it~ woohoo my first million

[cloud timber]

nice

[thin wren]

gratz

[fossil igloo]

Good enough.

[sour lark]

What are my options for sync-spamming the 3v1 Rock stage if I can't use statuses?

Mostly asking if Aaron is the only one

[plush palm]

aaron oleana ss steven

normal form

[cloud timber]

janine can be viable but idk if any rock options are fast enough to sustain gauge

[feral hamlet]

Why so many scores for the Psychic challenge right now?

[sour lark]

Because it already existed before

We looped back to the start

So the scores that worked last time, still work this time

[plush palm]

that and exr lear is legit amazing

[cloud timber]

people are always posting scores for current dc and psychic is current dc

[feral hamlet]

Oh, why do I have a score of 0 then?

[sour lark]

So you can get another 100 tickets by scoring another million

Your old score is still in your score history

If it carried the old score to this cycle fully, you can't get more tickets

[feral hamlet]

Oh I see

Man, on paper, a Rosa, SS Lana, and SS Lusamine team sounds fun, but Rosa is so here to use here

[plush palm]

barry the old workhorse

[thin wren]

I am pretty sure lussa's best team is her old team

[feral hamlet]

It kinda works I guess

[stoic crest]

Would ss lusamine at 3/5 work with champion blue and melody for a least a million?

And do I get all tickets again since it's repeating now?

Please ping me

[fair mist]

yes and yes

[stoic crest]

Is there a specific grid for blue and lusamine?

[fair mist]

just generic nuke for lussa

dont bother with hide and sync as usual

then just like get he2 on nc blue and melony doesnt really need anything

[thin wren]

wild how og psychic 3v3 3.7 mil still isn't beat my most 3v3s

despite being the first dc

[sour lark]

Satisfied with this. The Gordie clear was gross, but now I know I can do better in the "real" 3v1 when I can sync spam with Colress (and have -6 def on the enemy to boot)

Thanks, everyone

[feral hamlet]

Oh interesting, I can copy this

Does the Regice need to be EX?

[sour lark]

Yes

Because she only has two shots of SEUN at 1/5

So I sync with two supports and then with Gordie, to "concentrate" the SEUNs

[feral hamlet]

No other supports with SEUN?

[sour lark]

Look at the other clears. Red was already used up

[brisk shale]

holiday jasmine if you have her

[sour lark]

Aaron's grid had Catalyst, Full Bracing Infliction, and every speed node within reach. Defend Order MGR stops working at max defenses since the move has to succeed to trigger it, so it's useless

I synced with Aaron first but wonder if it would have worked better with Dana syncing first (so that Aaron's Catalyst triggers later in the fight)

Ran out of gauges at the end

Aaron was the tank, to reduce reactive skills triggering.

[cloud timber]

team toughen up would make wise entry help even without dana as tank

ft1 could still be more important

[sour lark]

Heal Order (trigger Full Bracing Infliction without a move animation), Rock Tomb, X Spdef All
Defend Order, Rock Tomb
Defend Order, Rock Tomb
Defend Order, Rock Tomb
First sync

By this point, Dana has taken enough hits from splash damage for Team Toughen Up to max Def, so Aaron's Defend Order is instant

Defend Order, Gordie TM, SEUN on Gordie
Defend Order, Gordie TM
Defend Order, Gordie TM (Need one MPR proc. Gordie's offense is now maxed)
Spam Defend Order
Second sync

Spam Defend Order
By this point, Posthaste should have maxed Gordie's Speed for Inertia. He syncs, gets another SEUN from Dana, syncs again, crams his Max Move in right before the buzzer

[cloud timber]

oh right she has spdef

[sour lark]

The grossest part of the plan is the RNG "key" being so late in the fight (MPR between first and second sync)

[cloud timber]

ye that's why i'd look for mpr asap before rock tombing

[sour lark]

The Rock Tombs are there to get ahead of the X Speed, so Hau's gauge gen is ruined as early as possible. The TMs being between the two syncs, might mean Aaron can sync second and still have gauges. Could reorder the plan if it's too uncomfortable tho

[trail aurora]

does the damage challenge gem reward only being given out for the first time only?
can i finally stop playing this to get gem rewards

[fair mist]

yes

[cloud timber]

depends on how the specific comp plays out, i did gordie with paulo and aaron and with that there's zero danger of losing out on a sync with different turn order

[trail aurora]

thank god
i can finally stop playing this
thanks for the reply

[brave parcel]

Are there ways to clear super sparring with limited rock ghost and fire units

[rain copper]

please send your roster of those types here

[normal parcel]

I think 0 with NC blue

6 spa, 6 speed, 3 crit, 1 def, 1.spdef, 1 acc = 18

[normal parcel]

Why Gordie + Paulo? Who debuffs speed for Gordie?

[cloud timber]

gordie does

nets ~700k

[normal parcel]

But Paulo what's doing?

DPS?

[cloud timber]

helping aaron's setup and max move at the end

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZgkIaZQ3jM

no idea if it's actually my best option but it definitely is an option lol

[normal parcel]

Can Gordie break 1m?

[cloud timber]

with sc/ss steven i think so

i have neither

[warped gulch]

SC Steven just really good for him

[normal parcel]

Yes with him I could get like 970k

Problem is that I can't debuff speed to -6 I just lose a sync, I have to stick with -5

[pastel bone]

If anyone has a good team for Barry super spar let me know

[vapid kernel]

Its in the excel

I took my 900k team from there

[vagrant ivy]

turns out ex dc nemona is worse

since ss diantha means gordie needs to use 2 less rock tombs

[normal parcel]

Nemona doesn't debuff speed on entry and on sync

[faint quiver]

What a pain to do this with only 3/5 SS Steven for that 5th sync.

[vagrant ivy]

3rd million obtained

everything needs to crit and ss diantha needs to mpr twice

gordie is the main DD since ss diantha is only 2/5

[vagrant ivy]

interesting team

[tiny mist]

i tried with sslusa only managed to get 1 mil

3/5 sslusa , melony and ncblue

[vapid kernel]

Woa the score gets higher

[vapid kernel]

U hv to roll until Rosa gets evasion right?

[vagrant ivy]

yes

nothing else really helps

[faint quiver]

Yup, +2 evasion but only 2 units got paralyzed (and I don't think any para actually procced either, mostly just dodging Pawmot's attack while eating the sides attack).

There's a couple of tries where I proceed with the run even though I did not get eva buff from Rosa due to all 3 opponents are paralyzed and actually could've won if the para actually procs

[true locust]

Rosa need give + 2 eva and alot miss for steven 5 syncs its pain in ass

[fossil tinsel]

Idk if I could do better

[vagrant ivy]

egg ninetales?!

[stoic crest]

Can someone help me come up with something for the ranked event? I just want at least a million for all rewards. I have stuff like red lax and champion blue as well.

Please ping me

[fossil tinsel]

yeah idk who to put, someone boosting speed i was thinking

[stoic crest]

Could champion leaf be enough to get a million?

[icy pendant]

definitely yes

[thin wren]

easily

@stoic crest do you have chase

[stoic crest]

Yes at 1/5 though

But he is caked

[thin wren]

good enough

melony chase and nc leaf should be a free 1 mil

[stoic crest]

I assume leer with leaf, melony just sings, wait for chase to get hit for instant paralysis and use chase to boost stats?

[thin wren]

chase also provides kanto circle

*circle

[stoic crest]

Ah yes that's true

So even more damage

For rock is silver best and what about ghost?

[copper otter]

Silver is not the best.

[icy pendant]

ex gordie should outscore silver by a good bit

[vagrant ivy]

there are a total of 2 relevant ghost units for this ranked DC and they are morty and renegade cynthia

[copper otter]

Best Meta teams for Ranked DC
Fire: Chase/Melony/NC Leaf
Ghost: Summer Gardenia/SSR Cynthia/Colress
Rock: Oleana/SC Steven/SS Diantha

[vagrant ivy]

and whatever ghost zone setter you have

[thin wren]

morty has f2p 1.7 mil

[vagrant ivy]

is it eVictor/colress

yeah i was gonna try that but 1/5 colress

[crude sandal]

Damn, 6.4M

@thin wren You seeing the leaderboard?

[copper otter]

sadly, it's either 3/5 or not at all for sync rushing.

he genuinely has trouble spamming if he doesn't have Freebie infliction

[stoic crest]

I have that team for ghost but they are 1/5

[copper otter]

All three need to be 3/5

[stoic crest]

But if I manage a million for fire it's kinda pointless I think? Since I just want the candy

[copper otter]

if you can get 1 mil from fire, just for the rewards, then go for it

[thin wren]

I am extremely surprised

is a 3 year old unit
No new grid tiles that help with dc
Gets a cake on anni
Doesn't have op passives
No compression
Gets the second highest dc score ever

Our glorious King Lear

[crude sandal]

Well, let's see what our psychic AS unit will bring

[thin wren]

AS Lear when

[old valve]

That'd be kinda sick tbf

[pallid girder]

What? He reached 6M!!

[thin wren]

6.4 mil

[pallid girder]

I thought he'd capped at 5M

[fluid anvil]

Psychic arc will probably be worse than NC Rosa for DC if it doesnt have Sing
unless its an AoE sync nuker to replace Lear

[thin wren]

5.5 mil was the expected gap but someone got in 6 syncs it seems

[thin wren]

AS Lear real

[pallid girder]

I mean psychic arc could replace Chase spot if it has similar kit

[thin wren]

Psychic arc would need to para

[fluid anvil]

how many psychic pairs have paralysis right now?

[vernal condor]

1 ?? dc blue

[crude sandal]

DC Blue and Calem

[vernal condor]

oh yeah calem, lol

technically oak

[cursive linden]

Since Oak have EX now, will he be able to do 1M in Psychic 3v1?

[vagrant ivy]

possible but unlikely

he could roll evasion on TM

i didn't check if he had any sync nuke tiles tho

[vernal condor]

He has basically nothing lol

[cursive linden]

😭

[vagrant ivy]

if the 6.4m run is with lear then that raises a few questions to me

his multipliers are 4 nodes, innate and rising tide

which does not look like alot compared to other top scorers but i'll have to go revise rq

[fluid anvil]

just an extra sync to get 6.4M

evasion, para procs, propulsion procs etc.

[vagrant ivy]

alot more things would get 6m if they had an extra sync i feel

yeah that

HS2 adren 2 and prop 1 all help to get that extra sync for him

ok i see why he gets 6m now

evasion and rebuff from nc rosa

[copper otter]

What Rising tide + no stat multiplier does to a unit once it's AOE

And real talk, i'm glad it's Lear.our king deserves it

[vapid kernel]

Omg Lear do 6m ??

[copper otter]

[true locust]

Since he not use chase

[fallen trail]

what tech/strike while secretly being sprint despite being 3 years old does to a mf

[thin wren]

What having nc rosa does to a mf

[brave parcel]

I fell asleep lol sorry

[icy pendant]

yeah just get the first clear rewards and work on building out your roster further before circling back for DC. This is an endgame mode that demands investment to score even somewhat highly

[brave parcel]

Alr, thanks

[sour lark]

But Lear is a PF, not an MF

[brave parcel]

Who should I use for the psychic dmg challenge? (Ignore sonia)

[copper otter]

Ain't no way. Not the Pal Serena

[brave parcel]

I just got olympia to 3/5 so maybe I use her

[vernal condor]

Not trying more

[vernal condor]

What being the only unit in the game with para + aoe -2 dpeed debuffs does to a unit

[copper otter]

you won't get much due to no EX, so just go for as much as you can with a tech unit

[brave parcel]

I have enough to ex someone rn

Is anyone here worth it

[copper otter]

define worth it, because none of them are worth EXing just for one mode if you only have enough to EX one unit

[brave parcel]

Oh fair enough

[fallen trail]

did you mean the units you get from this mode?

none of them are really worth exing over any limited pairs you have

[copper otter]

no, they mean, who to EX for this one mode.

with only enough to EX one unit

[fallen trail]

also true

[copper otter]

@brave parcel don't worry about minmaxing this mode unless it's ranked. you'll get tickets eventually by just doing the best you can with the roster you have at the time

[brave parcel]

Ty for the advice

[icy pendant]

also given the roster screenshots you sent above, I think you're still in the phase of your account where you need more ex supports first

[vapid kernel]

Attempts to slow down opponents

Tbh Pal Serena was a mid unit until DC

[vapid kernel]

Im checking the clears for Bug 3v1 and every top clear used BP Barry lmao

I believe SS Hilbert can get 4.5M this time with NC Blue

[crude sandal]

Nice photoshop

[fluid wave]

Is antitoxin better than 10 pokey traps?

[icy pendant]

why would you be taking antitoxin for dc

[fluid wave]

Trying to stall team and did Lucy Bertha and Wally but if wanna know antitoxin on badly poisoned is better than focusing on traps

[icy pendant]

I want you to read the effect of the antitoxin passive again

[fluid wave]

Because potent toxin amplifies badly poisoned

I meant potent

[icy pendant]

I believe that's going to depend on the number of targets you're facing

[fluid wave]

Triple hau

[icy pendant]

3 target wants pokey trap, since the flat trap damage is higher and each individual enemy doesn't take enough actions for bad poison to catch up

[copper otter]

Antitoxin is immunity to poison

[vagrant ivy]

[fluid wave]

So 2 potent toxin and 5 pokey trap or 10 pokey

Okay 10 pokey it is

[icy pendant]

it's probably not even worth inflicting bad poison in 3 target unless you can inflict it aoe

[fluid wave]

Please. I do read. I just got the term mixed up

[crude sandal]

Poison is permanent, trap is not

Even if Pokey Trap 10 is stronger, it's meaningless if it wears off

[icy pendant]

it's 3 target, I don't think trap wears off there

[fluid wave]

Trap is permanent?

[icy pendant]

trap lasts for 8 attacks on each target

[acoustic chasm]

Welp this sucks
I'm only able to get 2 Gordie syncs

[fluid wave]

Oh... Wow new info

[crude sandal]

Ah, so it isn't like confusion where it wears off fast the higher the mitigation is

[icy pendant]

nope

same with gradual healing, always a flat 8 attacks

[fluid wave]

Never had long enough round to notice these effects wear off actually

There's literally no sync pair badly poison aoe. Sad

[icy pendant]

there's geeta oleana as a duo

but that's too many slots

[fluid wave]

Yeah don't have them

well I tried

yeah you have to be really desperate to resort to stall in this mode tbh

like, zero tech or strike units on type for that at all kind of desperate

In case anyone only has 1/5 ss Steven

Tried with 3/5 nc Rosa and results were worse so

[fluid wave]

How Rosa can be worse than Barry a mystery. Perhaps not enough move acceleration/speed?

[azure vine]

her b move is necessary

For rebuff on all 3

And it’s like 10 seconds so

You miss out on the last sync

Slight improvements to Rock and Ghost stages. Maybe done for this ranked dc

[copper otter]

No chase?

[ivory kestrel]

no chase

was tempted to grab him with the previous Support select, but my gems were hurting from Anniv... will definitely get him next time though, he's extremely meta in DC

Super Sparring 400-500 ranks are pretty tightly clustered. I optimized my 3v1 rock clear (about 30k extra points, from ~580k to 610k) and jumped from 480ish to 430ish

[ivory kestrel]

by the way, idk if others are doing this, but for Hau run, i go Colress > S-Gardenia > SSR Cynthia for the sync sequence in later runs. it got me higher scores compared to not syncing with Colress (also Ghost Zone was expiring before Cynthia's final sync, so the delayed S-Gardenia sync solved that at least). Smokescreen sync helps a bit as well

[sour lark]

Does Colress' sync do something?

[thick stump]

Drop accuracy ig

[copper otter]

I don't think its worth syncing with colress to begin with

I had gotten 3.3 mil from just syncing with Gardenia and that was more than fine

[ivory kestrel]

Gardenia is 3/5?

[copper otter]

That makes me wonder though, my ghost zone did not expire at all after syncing first

Yea

Summer Gardenia has Befuddle and Ghost zone extnesion 3. That alongside the 5 is an extra 80 seconds

[ivory kestrel]

i think that Befuddle 2 in grid makes all the difference

[copper otter]

So ghost zone should last for 2:10

[ivory kestrel]

yup, forgot about Ghost extension as well

at 1/5, no, zone wont last til end if you sync first with Gardenia
