Damage Challenge

[cursive linden]

Yeah, i am not doing an RNG run

[icy pendant]

you have 1m there if you just click the B move

[cursive linden]

Oh.

https://tenor.com/view/my-goodness-what-an-idea-why-didnt-i-facepalm-the-simpsons-gif-17489109

[vernal condor]

Bro is throwing

[icy pendant]

even without SEUN it should be doing about 300k

[misty forge]

Yeah, +4 pmun in sand & zone

It's 330k circa

[icy pendant]

mine was 500k at +8 SEUN

or at least I think I was +8 and in zone, Sand Blaster 4 didn’t amplify its damage either

[cursive linden]

I already did 1.3M

This shit requires at least 2 para

[misty forge]

With Bianca you just need 2 flinches at start for 1.5mil

[vagrant ivy]

has anyone did 1m with 2/5 or less

on arc

[cursive linden]

Just

JUST 2 FLINCHES

***JUST 2 FLINCHES!!!!! ***

[misty forge]

2 50/50

[cursive linden]

Yeah fuck that

[misty forge]

It takes me 20 tries to get a single mpr

[cursive linden]

If an RNG says it's not 100%, then it is 10%

[cursive linden]

I had rather [Redacted], thank you

[misty forge]

Yeah that's why I don't think 2 50/50 is bad

It's just 75% fail

[cursive linden]

[misty forge]

DC is literally cringe because anything past asking 1 mpr is just a jobber's predicament

Same for gauntlet

Difference is, gauntlet also requires to clear dozens of times

Not 1

I usually do max 3 score reaches on DC, most times it's 5-10 mins of time but sometimes I have to waste 30-40 mins like today because the requirements are stupid, thankfully it's a 1/5 ratio

So it's not too bad

[vapid kernel]

But Misty can do more than him

[pallid girder]

Some units just have bad kit in dc. You cant say Bertha or FRoxanne are bad units just bc they cant do well in dc either.

[dense gate]

Hugh really consistently getting those acid special defense drops. Got down to -4 special defense one time

[fallen trail]

ohh thats why this stage sucks he has a 1 bar move

send help pls

[fallen trail]

i think this is the best a 2/5 arc cynthia can do with 1 mpr… i don’t think a second mpr would get her over a million

well… i might have to do this

[fluid anvil]

so is the best 3v1 AS Cynthia team with NC blue-Melony or with NC Bianca?

[vernal orbit]

I got 1.4m with bianca and barry

no skill gear

[misty forge]

I feel like Bianca + any fast spammer Janine or oleana is best

[woven fjord]

Finally did it

Sync order:
Rosa -> Red -> Cynthia (x2)

Thankfully, her B-move did over 500K damage.

No need for MPR procs.

Tried with Courtney but she at best can only come like 20K shy of 1M.

[fluid anvil]

first try

[icy pendant]

ooh 4 Cynthia syncs

good para procs then?

[fluid anvil]

yeah think I had at least 1

[vernal condor]

https://youtu.be/Mzm7SrI_g8A for people interested

[icy pendant]

got one outside of sand and came up a few turns myself, had to throw a B move with < 2 sec left to use up some of the TM effects. I’ll probably move to the Bianca Colress team unfortunately

[vapid kernel]

The time for the purge has come

[icy pendant]

kinda weird to think that there are both land-based (Sand) and water-based (Hail) field effects that are bad in DC

[vapid kernel]

Dena shud give all opponents snow shelter

And sand shelter

And Poisoned: No Damage

He sucks

[vernal condor]

shocking

[vapid kernel]

SHES WORSE OMG

3/5 roxanners pls go 1M

[cloud timber]

when bertha gets 300k that's expected really

[orchid crescent]

finally got the ideal arc cynthia run lmao

yippee

[vapid kernel]

Shes better than Clay yalls

I missed 3 crits

[orchid crescent]

i know its first day but this is the first time ive been in like the top 100 for the DC 💀

[cloud timber]

sleep does help when you're putting up with sand the whole fight and trap

5 total syncs

but +4 attack lol

[summer shadow]

I dont get it

[cloud timber]

put sand only up before second sync

removing infliction freebie helps

most common mistakes

also are you even spamming thunder wave

[copper otter]

1/5 moment

[summer shadow]

Wait what

I need to remove freebie?

[copper otter]

I would assume due to the fact that sandstorm with cynthia massively increases gauge speed, i guess freebie is not needed?

[summer shadow]

Of course im spamming thunder wave

He just interrupts so much with acid

And each time cynthia syncs theres a whole animation

How many times is she supposed to sync anyway

[icy pendant]

Remove the 4/5 and 5/5 tiles for DC

[copper otter]

....again....

[cloud timber]

bianca provides enough gauge to not use infliction freebie

it's slower to use it

[copper otter]

oh wait, that's 5/5

[icy pendant]

yeah Arc Cynthia only needs 3/5, the 4/5 tile even is too much timeloss to be practically worth it and the 5/5 tile is even worse

[cloud timber]

sand also gives time for gauge to recover yeah but it's been usable without that

[summer shadow]

Alright, thanks

[wooden tree]

do you have a vid?

[orchid crescent]

sure, i can upload it if needed, but its pretty much just the 3v3 ground run but without using screech at the start

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnRWByjLT6M

[acoustic chasm]

Who are y'all running with Courtney? Last time I tried holiday Jasmine + Colress and only got 900k

[cloud timber]

elio + redlax for me, bp barry with sc steven could still be better but i wouldn't be able to check

[acoustic chasm]

I don't have either redlax or steven

I do have 1/5 arc cynthia tho

[cloud timber]

can run h jasmine in place of red but you're settling for one less sync

i'm not sure if anyone's managed to do anything with 1/5 arc cynthia

in theory she should be good with courtney and bp barry but idk why we haven't seen that

[acoustic chasm]

I'll try jasmine colress again and then cynthia bp barry

I tried Elio btw but the RNG needed drives me insane

[cloud timber]

pushing 1m with elio and h jasmine would be miserable if at all possible yea

[acoustic chasm]

4 courtney syncs needs no sp.def drops, the right amount of propelling move procs, AND the syncs have to crit

AND I need jasmine MPR

[fluid anvil]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y2FSnCT3Jo
video of Colress being used without Charging Infliction
+5 speed, +5 evasion, sands of time 2
total managed 5 syncs (4 Cynthia syncs), thats with sand and Cynthia animation slowdowns and attacking 5 times with Bianca and using circle
while MGA was running - gauge was enough to spam 2 bar, without MGA - not sustainable infinitely, but manageable

This makes me think that the S.Gardenia + SS Ingo + SSRC should reach 6 total syncs relatively easily, as they have less set-up, no sand chip, no Bianca attacking 5 times, no manual weather + zone, no slow Cynthia TMs etc.
and SS Ingo can get -6 sync count for free, thats 2/3 of a sync cycle
maybe even 7 total syncs (copium)
Also Gardenia has ghost accel 3 vs Cynthias SoT2, so a bit better. And you can reach +6 speed instead of +5

5-6 fully set-up SSRC syncs (-6 spdef, -2 def) is kinda nuts, it should be a big boost to the current max score (as long as all crits lol)

[acoustic chasm]

rip...

Maxie DPS with Courtney sync was able to 1M, can't arc cynthia do the same?

[vapid kernel]

Well

[cloud timber]

mael did 1m with dps but i forgot the team, had bianca on it

[acoustic chasm]

I have Bianca

[vapid kernel]

Bianca makes a big difference ya

The defense debuffs

[acoustic chasm]

Gonna try that

Although she'll need Sand Shelter

[vapid kernel]

But remember its faster to spam Precipice than b move

So idk how it comes down

[cloud timber]

https://youtu.be/Mzm7SrI_g8A?si=LhBazjYtFOvdN7nr

[kindred summit]

Wonder how I can get 1 mil with Arc Cy this this DC

I have HS1 for both Red and Steven

I only gotten 800K

And I took of the dust kicker sync node also

[brisk shale]

Status move fail spam

Also everyone on that team has supper effective up

[kindred summit]

I don’t know who to replace with Steven

Since I do have Colress he doesn’t get me to 1 mil

[clever wasp]

Just did the same exact thing as the battle was on video and ended up with 600k less

[clever wasp]

Was this with 4 syncs from Cynthia?

[orchid crescent]

3 with cynthia

[clever wasp]

I did 4 and couldnt reach close

How on earth did you get 700k more on one less sync?

[orchid crescent]

i'll upload the clear in a couple minutes

[clever wasp]

K thanks

[cloud timber]

should be replacing steven with colress or even bp barry

elio is even faster if you reset for para on red

60% with hostile environment 1 on body slam

also apparently the 4/5 tile is bad too

[icy pendant]

you'd think 4/5 is fine but it ends up being a couple seconds of timeloss throughout, so it's doable to run with great para rng

[brazen escarp]

Hmmm 🤔

But why am I getting so little Dmg?

[normal parcel]

Because you have low level units

[orchid crescent]

https://youtu.be/9hqxU3hPC-8

here you go

[normal parcel]

95% of the < 3/5 damage dealers are just bad in DC

Ex, and 3/5+ are basically mandatory for a decent score (unless the unit is busted for DC, like SS gladion), and you definitely want lv150 or at very least lv140

[fallen trail]

thx @vernal condor

only stage i have left that's below a million is st fairy

[kindred summit]

I been trying that but they can’t reach even 500k

[icy pendant]

you're doing something horribly wrong then. can you record?

[kindred summit]

Oh maybe I have the 4/5 grids on

Let me try again then

[acoustic chasm]

I'm missing st ground and bug
It's been 3 hours man, please Courtney just crit your syncs

[icy pendant]

4/5 grid tile should be the difference between 1m and 1.5m, not between 500k and 1.5m

[fallen trail]

courtney nuke team just wasnt working for me

[fallen trail]

with INSANE luck i could maybe get a SEUN sync in w courtney

[kindred summit]

These are my grid but I will try it with these

[fallen trail]

its not very likely

i'll try it a few more times

[kindred summit]

I don’t have nitro to upload it rip

[cloud timber]

uploading to youtube is standard, you can unlist it if you want

[kindred summit]

Oh okay that helps

[clever wasp]

Unlisted on yt is what I did

Although now I'm beginning to think my skill gear isn't strong enough to hit the score I'm trying to

[kindred summit]

I don’t mind uploading to my YouTube I don’t get much people looking anyways only thing on it is Smash Ultimate

[acoustic chasm]

SO CLOSE

I don't know what to do anymore lol

[kindred summit]

https://youtube.com/shorts/DajlJNLP3f4?si=gAz-qKqYj0hk_Z1K

This was my attempt

[fallen trail]

im guess you dont have maxie?

[acoustic chasm]

I don't

[fallen trail]

rip

i needed him

[icy pendant]

you popped cynthia's tm way too early, and shouldn't be clicking sandstorm twice with her

[orchid crescent]

load up on as much attack as you can since cynthia's mega multiplies it, speed is nice to have to spam twave better

[icy pendant]

your red tm timing is also wrong, it should be the last action before each of your syncs not the first attack after one

[warped gulch]

I think you can use Elio instead of Colress

[kindred summit]

Well I want the reset the ground zone and sandstorm

[fluid anvil]

does that matter ? when you use Reds TM ?

[icy pendant]

you reset it after 20 seconds of the first sandstorm

[kindred summit]

And also the arm timing is just because I don’t know how much it reduces sync

[icy pendant]

it really only matters on the last one since there's a window where the effects are still going but you can sync if you click it at 2, and the enemy can queue in there and screw you over

[clever wasp]

Can what's in the gear(not counting stats) be the difference between about 700k in one of these?

[icy pendant]

yes because of this crazy thing called +45% sync damage

realistically it's much harder to have that gear, so it's important to keep those standards in mind

[orchid crescent]

yeah the very top clears always have that optimized skill gear multipliers lmao

[clever wasp]

Like mines +100 attack and all but I can't get the s moves up on the gear for her

[warped gulch]

I dont think gears matter much unless you aim for 2.5 -> 3 m

[clever wasp]

Like I've got 1.5M and the one with the same everything is 2.1M

[kindred summit]

I am just using basic gear

[warped gulch]

This is my gears

I cant even reach 100 Atk but still got 2m anyway

[clever wasp]

Yeah idk what's wrong

1.5M with Bianca and 4 Cynthia syncs followed by her b move

[kindred summit]

Doing better then me

[brazen escarp]

Yea but why are 3/5 so good

When most of the time there are no Dmg tiles

And how much difference is there in stats of 100 and 140/150

[cunning rock]

Because 3/5 is where most of their sync multipliers are.

[kindred summit]

Getting there

I fixed my score

[dry whale]

Got my run relatively quick.
Pretty much the same run I did for 3v3.
Don't know if I want to grind out the RNG needed to get that last hit buffed. Would probably put me close to 3m.
https://youtu.be/GRf8Ke4A2Dc

[kindred summit]

Just didn’t need sand tomb and changed to Arc Cynthia special gear

[still hearth]

3/5 is where the sync multipliers are usually in

[cunning rock]

Gah, so close.

[cunning rock]

Got it! Thanks @vernal condor

[queen moth]

I'm at a 3/5 arc Cynthia with 500k with redlax/Colress. I'm convinced I'm doing something wrong. Any advice? I don't have NC Bianca.

[cloud timber]

don't set sand until cynthia's second sync

[glossy token]

thanks arc cyn

can prob improve bc i got 2 paras and 0 misses but

[sacred badger]

Finally got to 1mil

[true locust]

Diffrence b move super up next or not is 170-200k range hit around . Close too 2,8m .

[normal parcel]

Because in DC except in some cases the way to go is sync damage, and basically every unit in the game has sync multipliers locked at 3/5+ (and also +50 sync damage from the sync tiles that everyone has at 3/5), some units are fine at 1/5 for DPS, but basically no one nukes decently at 1/5 and you definitely want 6ex, plus the difference between lb 100 and lvl 150 should be like +50% stats, so you are much faster (for sing spam) and you do way more damage, plus sync spam is pointless if you go for DPS, or if your sync has no multipliers

[brazen escarp]

Hmm alr

[vernal condor]

wtffff

[vapid kernel]

I can submit some groind stuff symbolically

[sacred badger]

2.6m lmao

[tiny mist]

grids plz?

[dry whale]

https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=010201064000&s0=3&l0=150&r0=6&p0=0&a0=15010101&t0=44444&x0=true&g0=AAECAwQFBgcICQwPEB8hIiM&v1=019100060100&s1=5&l1=150&r1=6&p1=0&a1=15010101&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFBggaHR8jJScoKw&v2=009104044500&s2=3&l2=150&r2=6&p2=0&a2=16011804&t2=4444&x2=true&g2=AAECAwQFBgcLFBYbHR4fISIjJCcyMw

[tiny mist]

how is ur 3rd sync kf the run, 2nd one with cynthia doing 600k

what gear do u have

mine is doing 300k only

I have almost dame grid

[true locust]

My sync is 700k second🤣

So 300k is realy low

You need have sand blaster 4 lucky skill have sand on and cynthia tm

[brazen escarp]

maybe crit :p

[tiny mist]

i have weathered warrior 3

[true locust]

Need use sand blaster 4

For more sync damage but even you sure do something wrong since 300k its too low .

[tiny mist]

yeah still 300k

I have exact damage buffs as this guy

[true locust]

This is when i use ground gear

60 attack

But you need use cynthia tm

No tm will be 300k

[tiny mist]

i used the tm too

and i have special gear almost +7% sync buffs from that too

still max i did was 380k

[true locust]

Wat attack you have?

Wat i can tell record it and put o yt

So we can check wat is going on

[tiny mist]

I m doing everything exactly like him

same grid n all

only diff is cynthia is 149 level not 150

[hard sleet]

That 1 lvl won’t change much

In the grand scheme of things

[true locust]

Only ww3 vs sand blast make diffrence

As lucky skill

[jaunty stratus]

Is 1m reachable with courtney?

[cunning rock]

Yeah, but it involves SC Steven + BP Barry

[jaunty stratus]

I have both! What's the gameplan? I only reached 500k with that

[cunning rock]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpBqwRc9vBo&ab_channel=skippingmud

There's a lot of videos in YT but here's one of the runs

[vernal condor]

As usual lol

At this rate I'll ask for a "check the doc" emote

[vapid kernel]

Or Elio and Red

[vernal condor]

Or Maxie and Bianca

[fallen trail]

i got to 1.14 mil w that team btw

with a LOT of dodges and propulsion i think you might be able to get another sync w courtney and with super syncer it’d be pretty strong

but i don’t think i’m strong enough for that

[vapid kernel]

Shes good

[cursive linden]

Naomi EX soon™️

[vapid kernel]

Ya she ex and get 900K

[misty forge]

Best eggmon

Aside grookey

And gyarados

And all the sleepers

And perrserker

[fluid anvil]

holy based

[vapid kernel]

Peak cheating

Cloning yourself and your pokemon except the clothes

[pallid girder]

Using a pair that can do 3M on her own to help other do barely 1M

[fluid anvil]

look again, 1/5 (and not even EX) Arc cannot do 3M

[copper otter]

Chat, what type has the highest damage potential right now. Is it psychic?

[vagrant ivy]

until more PF units get SA it’s still gonna be ground by a long shot

though people weren’t optimizing their gears for this mode in the first rotation so who knows

[copper otter]

Psychic got 6 mil tho

[vagrant ivy]

opp paralysis: S-moves up 5% my beloved

[copper otter]

From 3 v 3

[vagrant ivy]

I saw

[copper otter]

What would ground get for 3 v 3?

[vagrant ivy]

yes SA for him would mean 7 to 8m but that stage doesn’t rerun until late next February

[vagrant ivy]

think it was 7.3m

[copper otter]

I'm cooked if we get ground for DC again then

What is this month's Ranked again?

I know they're eevees

[cunning rock]

AoE Ice, AoE Fairy, ST Grass

[long silo]

Fleur Cannon

[copper otter]

Oh cool, either have adaman or rip top 100

[long silo]

I'm using Erika for it

[copper otter]

AoE though will be NC Red so lol

[long silo]

Even if I get Adaman who's releasing on same day, I doubt I can 3/5

Because I still need Irida

[copper otter]

I have everyone need EXCEPT Adaman

although i might have to finally 3/5 Penny

[vagrant ivy]

NC red and ss gladion are hard requirements too

[copper otter]

Oh that's bull 💀

Just make Penny a sprint unit. o ok

[long silo]

I think the passive procs every hit

So like, it evens out

DeNA has the opportunity tho to do the funniest thing and give Wally Adrenaline 3

[cloud timber]

yeah it's bad enough to where dc people are actively avoiding her 10/5

[copper otter]

?????? toxic???? LMAO

[cloud timber]

he's super jank yea

[copper otter]

i never bothered to look at the eeveeloutions

[cloud timber]

he lowers his own speed too

calem and hilda do too but they compensate better

[long silo]

What did people use on Grass 3v1 for Erika

[copper otter]

Adaman

oh wait lmao

[long silo]

[copper otter]

uhhhh SC Steven and i believe colress

[long silo]

I was using Mix Red on the regular one, but the nerfed DPS means I can't make the final B-Move work

[copper otter]

Wait, what's Ice and Fairy rules?

[long silo]

I'm thinking I try Dahlia/Redlax but I'm curious about the regular run

Ice is Special only

Fairy no rules

[copper otter]

Grass: DPS Nerfed
Ice: Special only
Fairy: unga bunga.

got it

ooooooh wait....

the Ice rule screwed F2P players

rip Hala

[vagrant ivy]

there’s a reason why I made this investment

[long silo]

There's really that one ranked DC where f2p is screwed

[cunning rock]

I mean, you'd lose out on spreading her second rebuff to the sidemons if she was Support Sprint. Besides, it's locked behind her 5/5 and you even need 10/5 to get that passive

[long silo]

You reminded me

Before I go unga bunga with Gladion, I'd go 1m with Penny first

[copper otter]

i probably won't go too tryhard this month unless the title is completely new

[long silo]

Brainpower go boom

[copper otter]

top 100 super sparring is fine with me

[cunning rock]

Time to whip out this team again

[long silo]

What does Acerola do there

Also I'll try Dahlia and Redlax

[cunning rock]

Paralyze + Max out Atk/Crit + Speed boost + self evasion

[long silo]

Ooh

[cunning rock]

Also Lodge Acerola has Stop hitting yourself and I'm Teeter Dance spamming

It's very RNG but you can nope so many of Nemona's attacks for you to get an extra sync in

[copper otter]

guys.... imma be honest with ya.

i think Sina might be the best for this month's DC

just saying.....

[cunning rock]

10/5 + Self Evasion

Yeah I can see it

[copper otter]

also soften up

so like.....

yea no, sprint AND Striker??? Yea, Sina is the new ice Meta

[cunning rock]

The best part is that she doesn't require Hail in the slightest

[copper otter]

so hypothetically.... NC Red/Sina.....uh.....

unironically SS Lear?

[warped gulch]

I think it still good tho

Bc we’ll use her with Gladion (dps route)

So Adrenaline 3 just way better with him

[pallid girder]

Tbf NC Red's best team alr utilize evasion (Chase), and he still has high sync dmg outside hail.

[cloud timber]

yea she doesn't seem to contribute anything, just be a worse damage dealer than nc red

i'd doubt she'd be relevant at top

evasion without chase's reactive passive but misses out on support ex and para and gauge

[delicate junco]

I thought this DC would be a walk in the park

but with a 3/5 arc cynth i havent pierced 1 mil once 😭

[cunning rock]

As long as it's ST DC, you definitely have to work to hit 1M

[vagrant ivy]

unless...?

how many pure f2p ST 1m clears were there

[cloud timber]

psychic and steel only

[long silo]

Oh Ground didn't make it?

And Grass?

[cunning rock]

SS Erika honestly needs GT.

And Courtney can't hit 1M even with Ground Zone

[long silo]

RIP

[cloud timber]

courtney needs sc steven or redlax or arc cynthia prob

unless you're doing the dps with maxie and bianca

[pallid girder]

Rock also.

Need DC Nemona tho.

[sacred badger]

letse

tomorrow is multi huh

[cloud timber]

yea that one takes 3/5 ex dc nemona but does qualify

[fluid anvil]

SS Ingo evasion speed clears gonna go hard tomorrow

[sacred badger]

hrm

[devout pelican]

I think I am too stupid to figure out how to use AS Cynthia to clear this DC

[sacred badger]

hrm.

letsee.

ooh its ghost.

so if i clear the next few sparring fights, that's 300 + 70/80 + 100 + 70/80 + 100 + 100 + 540 = 1300 when December starts.

so i can 3/5 the new one, or buy the new one, then 3/5 one of the current ones mmhmm

[pseudo stag]

At the current rate of power creep, how many years until we get the first 1 billion DC?

[cunning rock]

Until we get 2 or 3 10/5s

[sacred badger]

unless we get like a time boost.... prolly not.

or like another damage change, 999999 wont be the limit

we'd need like 999,999,999 limit at that point.

[cunning rock]

Shocked that you rushed Tierno immediately

[sacred badger]

he's actually extremely good o_o

i need more options for rally

fire upgrade is solid considering my roster

[pseudo stag]

What if we get a unit that has Apple Cup as an innate passive

[pallid girder]

I mean Arc Cynthia is really close dmg wise but only hold back by sandstorm.

She syncs less than other dmg dealers but still deals more score than them.

[vernal condor]

Imagine not rushing Blue for the Chase strat

[sacred badger]

i managed to get her to 1m, just dont sand storm until the very 2 syncs at last.

when you 1st sync with her, dont use sandstorm.

[pallid girder]

Im replying about the one said "how many years will we get 1 billion"
If ArcCynthia doesnt have sandstorm and can sync 1 more maybe she can reach it .

In 3v3

[vernal condor]

Bro 1 billion, not 10 million

1 billion is still more than 10x the best DC score anyone ever got

[pallid girder]

My bad
Im just simping for unit I dont even have.

[pseudo stag]

It's k she kinda sucks ass

[vernal condor]

I don't even know if 10 minutes would be enough for 1b

[cloud timber]

wouldn't be remotely enough

[acoustic chasm]

Tf?
What's the move spammed?

[vernal condor]

DPS

[acoustic chasm]

Yeah but which

[cloud timber]

slash could be pretty usable

[acoustic chasm]

CS9 slash?

[cloud timber]

i didn't get much out of it before but i didn't have arc cynthia or bianca

and still don't

[acoustic chasm]

Is it a 4/5 node? I have 4/5

[fluid anvil]

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonMasters/comments/1gqfnb0/1m_og_cynthia_vs_st_ground_dc/

[cloud timber]

yea it's 4/5

[acoustic chasm]

Nice

[warped gulch]

Flying tomorrow

[vernal condor]

Ghost not flying

Flying is on tuesday

[warped gulch]

Oh mb

[vernal condor]

I'll try 2 ex r and 3 ex r Ingo

[warped gulch]

But i’m thinking about Flying that how to use 10/5 Gloria rn

Without 10/5 passive i can just brain dead Max Move turn 1 and Bounce

But now i need to save it for Flying Zone

[vernal condor]

Yeah idk how it'll go

[fluid anvil]

ghost 3v3 might break 6M now with Ingo evasion (and TM MPR) shenanigans
sync crit RNG will be hell though

[vernal condor]

Well we need someone to have a 10/5 Ingo first

[fluid anvil]

10/5 isnt needed here, if you're using 3/5 Yarrdenia for zone

its more for UBs and stuff

3-5/5 SSRC + 3/5 S.Gardenia + 3/5 SS Ingo is already a fully maxed out team for DC, in terms of move levels

[true locust]

Who will be spam in this team?

[fluid anvil]

will-o-wisp

[true locust]

Since i see issue

Haha

Bad idea

Gauge suks for it and also burn will cost time

[vernal condor]

Gauge should be fine, sorta

[true locust]

Where fine?

[fluid anvil]

burn on 1 of 3 doesnt cost much time and gauge is manageable, there is MGA too
its already better than nc blue + Melony, because -6 spdef

You'll see tomorrow 😉

[true locust]

Better is gardenia and corless

[fluid anvil]

no, SS Ingo is a must
Gardenia-Colress ws already used, it only does 4M+
This can break 5M or even 6M

[true locust]

You forgot skill gears are most have on para

[fluid anvil]

just get different skill gears 😉 for ghost zone/physical sync etc.

Ingo +6 speed, +4 evasion, -6 sync count too good to skip him

[true locust]

Not see it

[fluid anvil]

and he makes reaching -6 spdef faster too

[true locust]

His b move is super slow

And who low def?

[fluid anvil]

you dont use his b-move

at all

his max move does -2 def AoE

[warped gulch]

Idt that team will have problems with gauge tho

[fluid anvil]

Just look at his kit, its insane for DC

[warped gulch]

I can spam TW Colress without grid with Yardenia and Cynthia

[fluid anvil]

his TM is probably the best team-wide TM for DC

[true locust]

You have him?

[warped gulch]

Even with only +2 speed from Yardenia

Not to meantion burn animation

[fluid anvil]

I have 5/5 SSRC, 3/5 SS Ingo, 3/5 S.Gardenia
but not the gears XD
and I wont reset for perfect run, too tiresome. Someone else will do it
I might just try to get 5M if I can

[true locust]

Did you even use him?

Since i think no

You now wat happend when you use any move?

[fluid anvil]

I've used him, but not in DC yet
but I have used 2-bar Oleana spam in DC several times

[fluid anvil]

?

[true locust]

Then go on any lg stage and check it;)

You lossing alot time

[fluid anvil]

His passives only activate on a successful move.
will-o-wisp fails = no activation

[true locust]

It wat happend in short

First he raise crit and attack

Even from tm

And special up too

[fallen trail]

yeah ss ingo wont work

his passive activates every move

[fluid anvil]

from TM its fine. You only use TM twice
It shouldnt activate from will-o-wisp spam

[fallen trail]

also who is paralyzing on that team

[fallen trail]

it does

[true locust]

You will need burn first time

So its 3 time

Wat cost you sync

Check time lost

[fallen trail]

oh wait it doesnt

i thought thats how honing hit works

regardless

[fluid anvil]

why would it activate from a failed will-o-wisp ? It says "when the user’s move is successful.":
Team Brain Gain 9
Has a chance (100%) of increasing the Special Moves ↑ Next effect of all allied sync pairs by 1 rank when the user’s move is successful.
Move: Sp. Atk ↑2 & Crit Rate ↑1 9
Has a chance (100%) of granting all of the following effects when the user’s move is successful: Raises the user’s Sp. Atk by 2 stat ranks. Raises the user’s critical-hit rate by 1 stat rank.

[fallen trail]

will o wisp spam is bad

[fluid anvil]

why?

[fallen trail]

burn damage ticks the timer

[fluid anvil]

you only burn 1 of 3 targets, not all 3

NC leaf + SS Hilda team already did that

[true locust]

Any way 3 turn cost you alot time

Plus burn too

[fluid anvil]

that team has near 0 set-up, evasion, tons of sync reduction and fast spam

[true locust]

This team miss low def

[fluid anvil]

its better than Colress or nc blue +melony

[true locust]

Wat have colress

[fluid anvil]

No it doesnt, max move has -2 def AOE

Colress is very slow

[true locust]

Its only 2 when you can get 6

[kindred summit]

What was people Go to Team for DC Ghost?

[fluid anvil]

Because debuff mitigation means -6 isnt worth it

-2 already gives you most of the increase

I never even did -6 with Colress, only -4

[true locust]

Vokz did -6;)

Its why he score the most

[fluid anvil]

VoK will get more with this team. Colress can only do 4-4,5M

[true locust]

Not sure if this 3 turns -2 def and burn

[fluid anvil]

evasion rng always gives the best scores

[true locust]

Not end in same sync

[fluid anvil]

this team should have 1-2 more syncs than Colress team

[true locust]

Lol if you never get hit🤣

Maybe 1

[fluid anvil]

Ingo skips 6 turns = op
+evasion

[true locust]

You can test it

On this dc

Cynthia gard and ingo set up

Time

And corless team set up

And check time diffrence

Befor first cynthia sync

[fluid anvil]

doesnt matter, the ingo teams goes much faster later
evasion, -6 sync, faster spam >> Colress

[true locust]

Matter since you just try catch up time

[fluid anvil]

and the setup is fast, you only use Metal Sound once to gt -6 spdef

[true locust]

You need hell miss for it

Befor tell its faster test it out

Then you now

[fluid anvil]

1 Cynthia TM, 1 Metal sound, 1 max move, 1 will-o-wisp = setup done

[true locust]

You say you use 2 ingo tm

Where you get miss? If no his tm

[fluid anvil]

oh yeah, 2 TMs too. But his TM has -2 sync counter

[fallen trail]

doesnt cynthia needs 2 tms

yeah lol

[fluid anvil]

no, gardenia can give her +2 Atk

either way Cynthias TM is quick

[true locust]

You now ingo have tmp 1?

[fluid anvil]

yup

Still all better than Colress 🙂

[true locust]

And fish for it and gard attack good luck

[fluid anvil]

Someone always does it and gets the perfect run

[true locust]

Or do like be did befor🤣

Since im not sure if vokz have ingo

[fluid anvil]

You said before that he did

[true locust]

He did -6 def

A yes he have him

But may not use

Since burn spam are not popular

[fluid anvil]

if you get 2 extra Cynthia syncs - the score is already 2M higher than Colress
but need evasion rng

[true locust]

Plus he have gears for para

So not sure if he can switch for zone itc?

So hard tell

[fluid anvil]

Colress' team is capped at ~4-4,5M, this is the only way to get more

[plush palm]

lenora or arc steven as ssr cynthia enabler?

[true locust]

Lenora better

[fluid anvil]

S.Gardenia > NC Leaf >= Lenora > Arc steven

[plush palm]

fair

[true locust]

Steven is build for lg / hse

Dc not his event🤣

[plush palm]

debuffing to -6 takes so fucking long

[fluid anvil]

how long does MGA last ? 50 seconds ?

How many syncs does Gardenia-Cynthia-Colress team do ? 1 Gardenia + 3 Cynthia syncs ? or 4 ?

[fallen trail]

every field effect is 45 seconds base

iirc

[pallid girder]

I heard that its 1 Gardenia + 4 Cynthia.

[fluid anvil]

The Ingo team should get 5 Cynthia syncs, maybe not 6

My Gardenia doesnt have Adrenaline 1 😦 and no cookies left

[pallid girder]

Only if the gauge is sufferable, or maybe run Ingo's custom ls but accept it wastes time.

Currently all of the doubt about SS Ingo spam is his gauge.

[plush palm]

thinking of running elio / 2/5 gloria alt / anni skyla for st flying

Is it a bad idea

Idk if i have a good way to trigger interference sync

besides resetting for confusion

[primal blade]

u got NC Blue? he pretty much THE best for Anni Skyla

[plush palm]

nope

[primal blade]

rip

[plush palm]

Gonna stick w/ what i have

[primal blade]

if he reruns in the upcoming months, highly suggested to get him

[plush palm]

gonna be rolling adaman so only if i have gems

not a whale

[vapid kernel]

Just the same run as before

Tmr i can finally Fantina and Shauntal vs ghost tests

[fallen trail]

nc blue probably rerunning at new years

if past anniversary trends are to go off

[warped gulch]

Before you just Max Move turn 1 and give brrr

And before she went with bianca and Nate for maximum dmg

[fallen trail]

she didnt even have exr before

now she has that and superawakening

oop

unfortunately the zone doesnt last long

[mortal arrow]

How can I do more damage before it expires?

This is what I'm using

I don't have candies

[acoustic chasm]

Thank you cynthia, very based

[fallen trail]

whats raihan doing here

[mortal arrow]

CDR, support EXR and prolonguing sandstorm 😩

[fallen trail]

interesting

uhh

make sure your colress has sand shelter

and try for an mpr on cynthia

dont use her sandstorm until before her first sync and only use it once

since its so slow

[plush palm]

no ex courtney?

[mortal arrow]

Nope

[mortal arrow]

Mmmmh, I could. She's move level 3...

I just need a couple power ups

[true locust]

Better use this on arc cynthia

Then this lol

[mortal arrow]

Aight, I just need move candies

[vernal condor]

Don't candy a pair just for DC lol, it's not worth it

[vapid kernel]

I-

Ok not raising Chase to 3/5 then

[vernal condor]

I sure am raising Chase to 3/5 bcs DC currently is my favorite mode also he's good in general

But raising something just for dc isn't worth, the rewards aren't good enough

[pallid girder]

Candy support is fine since you will use them in like half of the dc, and sometimes even outside of dc like ebes.

[mortal arrow]

Ok but I'm candying her because she's amazing at move level 3

[vernal condor]

Yeah fair

[cursive linden]

Chase is good in general, not just in DC

[true locust]

Arc cynthia is realy good on 3/5 so this general invest

Not just for dc mode

[icy pendant]

tbf you should 3/5 and EX Arc Cynthia regardless, those are not investments you’d regret

[vapid kernel]

When Ghost ST comes im gonna die

Because

I will need to record clears of all Acerola units doing it this time around

[delicate junco]

final day for ground dc

i have a 3/5 arc cynth but havent reached 1 mil

there must be some sequencing im messing up

unless even arc cynthia needs the premium support as well

[true locust]

Arc cynthia team. Nc blue melony

Lax melony

Lax nc rosa

Bianca colress

[delicate junco]

i was using lax barry

is there any special sequencing i have to do for the teams, like timing the lax TM?

[cloud timber]

if lax melony works it's better

[plush palm]

not sure why youd run lax barry

[cloud timber]

though i'm hot sure where the gauge comes from so elio should be better than that

[plush palm]

it should be lax elio and lax melony

redlax gives para already

[cloud timber]

yea redlax bp barry is outdated

assuming elio/melony are ex

[plush palm]

maybe lax aaron on certain ranked stages immune to status

[cloud timber]

yea

arc cynthia can fit in sands of time on her grid and with sand up melony's gauge will be fine, could need ft1 or ft2 on her still

but sand chip could give enough time to not need it

[plush palm]

wastes time tho

not running sand shelter on melony?

[cloud timber]

would be looking at that

[still hearth]

Omg tomorrow is Ghost right

[cloud timber]

can grab the other sync node at +6e

yeah

[still hearth]

Ok I can definitely get at least 1M now

This was when I just started playing again

Now I got her 3/5 EXR

I love seeing my progress

[fluid anvil]

use Lenora + SSRC + Colress

[cloud timber]

if they have lenora idk what colress is offering over bp barry

[plush palm]

w/ barry do you typically para one or all 3

usually i just do 1

[fluid anvil]

aoe paralysis

[acoustic chasm]

Back to back Cynthia gaming

[fluid anvil]

Yup

[cloud timber]

bp barry could actually afford to set triple para in ranked, idk if that's going to change

[cloud timber]

typically 1

[plush palm]

i had issues getting in the last shadow force if i did

[still hearth]

The “strat” is the same as the one in ranked no? Like queue shadow force before enemy syncs

To get the SEUN

[cloud timber]

last time i tried was with dahlia so it might be that saving time

but idk how much faster she is

if she is

had better success with her anyway

[vernal condor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s004RuXalIQ

like this?

that team doesn't look super optimal now that i think about it lol

[cloud timber]

it wasn't, don't think skinny was optimizing too much and people were doing much better with nc blue

was worse gear and did better than what i had but also 5/5 dahlia instead of 2/5

and skinny missed getting seun from first enemy sync

[vernal condor]

tbf she didn't have time for that, seeing she ended with 1sec

[copper otter]

The optimal team will be Colress/Yarrdenia/SSR Cynthia now

[vernal condor]

nuhu

[cloud timber]

oh it was that

[vernal condor]

yeet colress, take ingo

[copper otter]

Why ingo?

[vernal condor]

yeah back then maybe that was the team

[vernal condor]

he can spam (faster than colress), has evasion, debuffs SpD on entry and Def on max move

[copper otter]

But what are you even spamming?

[vernal condor]

willo

on the left opponent

[copper otter]

Burn damage tho?

[vernal condor]

it's once every 5 moves, it barely matters

and you don't need -6 def aoe because of diminishing returns

He can also use a final move with +3 SMUN (assuming you reset for a tm mpr which you should) and SEUN

[copper otter]

Hmm.... question is, do you need him 3/5 to even utilize him for that team?

[vernal condor]

yes

[copper otter]

Yeesh

I'd rather stick with yarrdenia at that point

[vernal condor]

no it's colress that you remove, not yarrdenia

ingo yarr cynthia is the team

[copper otter]

Hmmm...

[vernal condor]

I think to make ingo worth he at least needs 2/5 for the tm mpr

+2 evasion isn't that good, and +4 speed isn't enough

[cloud timber]

though i wouldn't be convinced the gauge works out without throwing on charging infliction until i see someone make it happen

not even certain he's better than colress yet

if someone could set mga on tm then i'd say yeah he spams faster than colress but not without

spams faster for a few syncs then gets hard walled by gauge

[vernal condor]

In a 3v3 setting maybe opponents attack enough

Especially when 2 of them have aoe moves that you'll probably not dodge

[cloud timber]

they could be attacking any amount and it wouldn't matter

[vernal condor]

Also kinda changing topic but I just had the idea and I need to share it: V Hilbert as a spammer for NC Red + Chase (instead of DC Blue)
He got the supp sync, the aoe SpD drop, the zone, ice theme skill which is a big buff

I dunno if you sync with Hilbert 2nd so all Red syncs are with both supp sync, or 3rd (or later) so stronger syncs have the zone, but it's definitely worth considering

[sacred badger]

ghost multi soon? ghost multi soon 😮

[icy pendant]

oh boy time for me to see if I can hit 2.5m with sc irida for no benefit whatsoever

[fallen trail]

gotta do more funny ss lyra + ss cyrus cheese for grass st

[sacred badger]

i'm down to see Fall Iono enjoyers here though.

[fallen trail]

though actually....... i have classic elesa now..............

[sacred badger]

but that BMove activation sucks!

[icy pendant]

like I fully have ssr cynthia invested this time but have unfinished business from last time

[fallen trail]

what would you think scores better between ss lyra/ss cyrus/chase and ss lyra/classic elesa/elio

[vernal condor]

Chase

[sacred badger]

grass single?

[icy pendant]

for ranked

[stoic crest]

What is the best option? I have stuff like red lax and champion blue. Please ping me

[icy pendant]

what research have you done yourself thus far?

[stoic crest]

Well last time it was Courtney but that was a long time ago

And that was like 300k

Beyond that and the usual strategy stuff that's it.

The guide is useless since videos don't help at all. I don't process videos at all, it is easier with text discussion to understand

[plush palm]

courtney

[cursive linden]

Me with my SSR Cynthia

[icy pendant]

There is more than video in those guides, identify the highest scoring clear you are comfortable with the investment on

[plush palm]

Redlax / courtney / elio or melony is probably your best option

[sacred badger]

its going to be awesome.

[cloud timber]

courtney does not have the gauge for melony so you'd want elio

[plush palm]

your best option is still courtney unfortunately bc no arc cynthia. she can hit 1m just fine on a elio / redlax comp

[stoic crest]

Red lax would he do anything besides paralysis? I have arc Cynthia but 1/5

[plush palm]

tm?

idk anout 1/5 arc cynth

[stoic crest]

Oh before I was told that the sync countdown took as long as sing

[icy pendant]

tm gives seun

[plush palm]

the tm is for SEUN

[stoic crest]

What grid for Courtney?

[icy pendant]

gonna be the same grid as last time, which is in the spreadsheet

[stoic crest]

Which crashes the game....

[cursive linden]

CYNTHIA NUKE BACK-TO-BACK!!!!!!!!!!!

GRAHHHHHHHHH I LOVE CYNTHIA I LOVE GETTING 1M+ FROM HER

[plush palm]

got 2.4m from ranked

idk if i can push higher than that

not w/o a better option than lenora

lenora takes forever

[stoic crest]

Elio over colress?

[copper otter]

Sam, I question if your sanity is okay after seeing you go unhinged both in poma lounge and DC.

[cloud timber]

yeah

elio also reduces the rng needed to max out courtney's offensive stats

[icy pendant]

Elio is strictly faster than Colress 40% of the time and the same speed 60%?

[cloud timber]

yep

a little slower 60% of the time to account for low accuracy but not nearly enough to offset the benefit

[cursive linden]

AHAHAHAHAH I LOVEEEE DC!!!!!!

[copper otter]

that unironically hurts my eyes.

[plush palm]

why does lenora take so fucking long to debuff

i get 2 ssr cynthi syncs in total

[cloud timber]

i'm thinking 3/5 ss hilbert ends up being better than lenora?

[stoic crest]

This grid?

[plush palm]

nah

i tries lenora / colress / ssr

[cloud timber]

yeah that's exactly what you'd want

[cursive linden]

I hate that my Grass team is suck balls

[cloud timber]

i used ss hilbert the first time ghost triple was around and i scored lower than that since

bc i couldn't afford to use nc blue in ranked

this time i will be able to

[cursive linden]

What is my boy doing there?

AoE SP.Def?

[cloud timber]

yeah just that

[cursive linden]

guh

[plush palm]

ss hilbert / colress /ssr doesnt hit has hard w/o support ex

[cloud timber]

yeah that's why i used bp barry, only needed to para one as well

didn't have colress 3/5 at the time anyway

dahlia should be a straight upgrade really since she debuffs faster(?) but i didn't experiment much

but between lenora and ss hilbert i believe the latter is better if ripple effect

[stoic crest]

So basically TMs from Courtney, body slam from red, TM from elio, TM from red per sync cycle. And sync with Courtney after red and elio? Do ground zone just before sync

[cloud timber]

one courtney tm and 2 x defenses from her, with elio and redlax tms you'll have maxed offenses and defense for first sync

[plush palm]

ground zone lasts 45 seconds btw. keep this in mind

[cloud timber]

50 from the time you use it

with 2 support syncs it's very safe to just use it before first courtney sync and then set it again when timer is below 50

[cursive linden]

Double support? this one is kinda slow

[stoic crest]

Thank you!

[cloud timber]

ss erika wants to be setting her own sun for super infliction so ss morty is contributing not much

[plush palm]

thinking of running aaron instead of barry

[cursive linden]

SS Morty's existence is that i don't need to use TM MPR on Erika

Good thinking

[cloud timber]

yea if you're going to stick to ss morty you can enable aaron perfectly

[plush palm]

aaron or ss steven

[cloud timber]

his tm is faster than defend order to buff defenses and you can grid +2 def +2 spdef on sunny day

[cursive linden]

[plush palm]

drop mgr on aaron

[cursive linden]

That strengthening heal is nice too

[cloud timber]

can be, but it can just as easily cost an extra sync so you'll have to toggle that as necessary

[cursive linden]

Aight

[cloud timber]

normally i leave it off

[cursive linden]

So, that team is double supp sync?

[cloud timber]

yeah

[cursive linden]

[cloud timber]

also vigilance does actually cost a tiny bit of extra time compared to most other skills if they aren't popping up any passives beyond debuff immunities

bc debuff immunities are a net gain

[cloud timber]

yeah

[cursive linden]

[cloud timber]

that is a thing

[vast glade]

Cynthia only refreshed once but I will take it as a win since I managed to use B-move

[long silo]

Seems 4th Cynthia sync might be possible but that's enough reset for me. Lol

So the next DC is... Cynthia again

[fluid anvil]

we need the ghost Cynhtia to hit 7M too, double 7M = absolute cinema

[long silo]

Once Support Arc Ghost arrives, trust

is also Cynthia for some reason

[cursive linden]

Please don't jinx it

[long silo]

[cursive linden]

[unborn otter]

No tm mpr

[plush palm]

not sure why youre running bianca w/ colress?

instead of idk barry

[cloud timber]

unova theme for circle

[delicate junco]

wow first try melony got over 1 mil

that was easy lol

[long silo]

Also this can sustain Colress w/o Charge Infliction

Depending on the run you can sneak in an extra Cynthia sync

[pallid girder]

Last time ghost Cynthia hit 4M at most.
I dont think 1 more sync can make her 7M like at all.
The best she can do is prob 6M if SS Ingo works.

[delicate junco]

is 1.2 mil good enough

or is that low for 3/5 arc cynth

[cloud timber]

if you really need someone else's opinion then yes 3/5 arc cyn can be pushed much higher but it depends on who you have access to

but ultimately nothing matters and it's a video game so there's also always that

[delicate junco]

What a good range

I dont have any Neo Champions so

no bianca no blue

got to work with barry sonia melony elio redlax

[cloud timber]

only thing i know is that 3/5 can generally go higher but no known range, redlax melony could be best of those

but elio would be much more reliable and easier to handle

[rotund sierra]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[devout pelican]

So AS Cynthia is the only other option for ST Ground?

[cloud timber]

everything else is inferior to courtney

[cloud timber]

yeah it's just faster

seems to be becoming standard to run bianca plus colress with no infliction freebie or at least it happened at least once before

has the speed and mga with bianca's free move nexts helping to pull it all off

but it could also rely on frequent enemy movement to be the optimal choice, sand chip is helping in this case

[cunning rock]

There's a run using NC Bianca, Maxie, and Courtney and going oonga bunga mode using Groudon Precipice Blade spam.

Huh, 3v3 Dragon top score might skyrocket because 3/5 Arc Lance has access to Paralyze via grid.

Arc Lance + NC Nate + Sing Spammer.

[cloud timber]

i'd also be curious as to how og lance fares with superawakening

and exr

[cunning rock]

OG Lance might need Elio to cover both Atk/Sp. Atk

At least you don't need to worry about OG Lance whiffing sync crits if you grab Build Up

[cloud timber]

yeah he can fit that in

no speed buffs on the team so he was gonna need elio anyway

furious brain isn't the most important thing but i don't think you're fitting on anything better if you have max overcap

rejuvenate for melony would settle for 3 sync nodes

well 4 if you take off furious brain

actually critical eye is bad, can fit on burst in and have crits for everything

[pallid girder]

If you're only asking who can do 1M.
Some strikers can dps through 1M like SS Giovanni and SC Adaman.

[pallid girder]

You can pick that first time <60% HP: +6 atk & spatk tile.

[cloud timber]

if you want to use melony + rejuvenate and that turns to work out you can take that tile

otherwise not worth

[old valve]

AH CRAP CURRENT DC ENDS TODAY DOESN'T IT

3/5 ARC CYNTHIA IS BETTER THAN SOME SHIT LIKE COURTNEY RIGHT

[hard sleet]

How’s he getting buffed?

[old valve]

I'll just try to send Arc Cynth with Melony/NC Blue ig

From what I can tell that's the best I'll get here(?)

[cunning rock]

Elio is an option.

[hard sleet]

Ah makes sense

[cloud timber]

elio with mpr maxes offenses in 2 uses

[old valve]

Oh wait I'll need sand shelter for Melony to do this right

[cloud timber]

she affords to take the team sandstorm immunity tile i believe

[long silo]

Elio MPR

[cunning rock]

You just need it to pop T1. It's not that big of a deal

[cloud timber]

yeah 20% but not dealing with crit rng makes it much better

[long silo]

It is when it takes 50 turns, then the freaking Heat Wave will burn you

[cloud timber]

though you'd need to roll the 30% to para still

lol

[old valve]

Am I missing anything by chance

[cloud timber]

haymaker, drop defense crush

[old valve]

How much do I want to drop Def anyways

[cloud timber]

bottom right

[old valve]

Should I bother with b earthquake at all

Whoops put down the wrong name for a sec there lol

[cloud timber]

once at the end only

[old valve]

Fair enough

Is blue def drop even worth gridding if my crits are guaranteed and I won't be dropping any def beyond that until the end

Not that there's anything else that'd help me much more but

[cloud timber]

no difference between +2 and +0 if critting

[old valve]

That's what I mean yeah

[cloud timber]

so it does help to ungrid it

[old valve]

Swag poggers also

Probably could do better but

[plush palm]

3/5?

[old valve]

Idk how much I care

[old valve]

Yea

Probably could've gotten in a second b earthquake or smthn

I got scared and refreshed sand

[cloud timber]

nc blue + elio gaming (surely)

next one is x speed and elio can neutralize and max smarty pants

[loud cedar]

my gears suck ass

[cloud timber]

trip up might be bad, had to wait for their second sync to set seun

[loud cedar]

is arc steven slower

for debuffs

oh wait he heals

ugu

[scarlet ivy]

strat?

double support or just

[vagrant ivy]

it’s mortying time again

[loud cedar]

you use shadow force right as they sync so you keep seun

[scarlet ivy]

that I know, I'm just asking sync rotations

do you sync immediately with cynthia after ex support or

[loud cedar]

after both ex supports

and enemies are fully debuffed but thats given after 2 support syncs

[scarlet ivy]

Is there stun variance

[cloud timber]

sparkling aria spam until max spdef

shadow force before their sync to preserve seun

otherwise standard sing spam

[scarlet ivy]

max spdef sounds like some painful variance

[cloud timber]

grid team mind games and team defense crush

idk what people were hitting with nc blue + melony tho

[scarlet ivy]

yeah, still coinflips so variance is there, + animations

how many syncs did you manage to get off

[cloud timber]

i threw sp3 on to reduce reliance on crits

just 5 total

[long silo]

That team sacrifices the full debuff for more sync nukes

[cloud timber]

seun for her first and third sync

[scarlet ivy]

which reaches how much? Do we have a ref?

[long silo]

I remember someone reaching around 3.2m?

[old valve]

What's the opposite of a buzzer-beater

The primary difference on this run: I remembered to press TM like a not fool

Oh is this ghost aoe?

Should I just morty this, my Renegade Cynthia isn't EXR'd lol

[cloud timber]

ghost, gatekeep, girlboss

[old valve]

Ghostkeep gatekeep girlkeep

I am a hoarder

[cloud timber]

keep on keeping on

[scarlet ivy]

do you have a video for this

I only get to sync once

lol

[cloud timber]

you have blue's defense drop tile gridded and are accounting for that right

[scarlet ivy]

yes

by the time the team's second sync is there

I only have 1 minute left

and I have not enough time

even with sing spam on paralyzed opponents

and head start on two mons

[cloud timber]

might just be really bad rolls but i spent a bunch of time on sparkling arias already

i have the recording and am uploading

[scarlet ivy]

do you sync with both blue and elio

or just one of them

[cloud timber]

yeah

both

https://youtu.be/QB-zRXHGW8g?si=7ZI8mrG_rQ7A29hM

going to be improving that in a bit or at least attempt to

[scarlet ivy]

how necessary is the t1 stun

[cloud timber]

no idea

[scarlet ivy]

oh you ran trip up too

that might matter

[cloud timber]

i took it off and still got a similar result

but i didn't have to wait until the last second to set up seun and sync

[scarlet ivy]

yeah that's the part where I'm trying to figure out

the game ends before Hau's second sync

and I get like -2 CD rather than close

Kk, I got it, you essentially want to avoid Blue stun at all costs

and ideally get a good early para roll

[cursive mauve]

Why does 1/5 EXR SC Irida looks like she’s close to 1 mil

[grand oracle]

Ghost help?

[cursive mauve]

Morty EX can hit 1 mil

[pseudo stag]

First try f2p team

Didn't max move before morty's first sync

[vagrant ivy]

I just ran it right back with the ranked DC team

has anyone tried fantina

[cursive mauve]

[pseudo stag]

What da Alakazam doin

[cursive mauve]

Spam TW + ramp + boost for Kanto circle

[pseudo stag]

Ramp?

[cursive mauve]

Yeah

Sprint ex

[pseudo stag]

Ah

My least successful DC attempt yet
