Her whole kit is pretty much fighting zone and circle the extra stuff at 3/5 and above is very optional. Of course if you have nothing but shit fighting types who can’t even max crit for themselves then she doesn’t do anything for them until at least 4/5.

My AoE damage has been Gmoltres for special tower NGL, I just don't run a tank because stage dies before she gets KOd (3/5 NC Marnie, 3/5 ex pf Marnie & 1/5 arc N, in order of targeting). I got to stage 27 this way

>>562175020
Well 3/5 Juliana, 2/5 Kieran with 3/5 Eri already get to stage 29 easily if you have 3/5 iron valiant for special stages, with korrina special stages become free and stage 30 becomes feasible...but is that worth 45k gems?

I think Milo lowers speed, Nessa lowers defense and can't have her defense lowered, Kabu is immune to burn and burns you on sync, Bea has a shit ton of crit, Bede has infinite fairy zone on entry, I think Gordie is immune to rock damage field and gets stronger when his speed is raised, Marnie has continuous dark zone on entry, and Raihan just has strong attacks and offensive buffs.

So at some point in the last 2 months they completely ruined making skill gear. Now instead of having the slot locked in where the slot is located it locks it in and moves it to the top slot. So now you cant take the custom skill feathers and replace the bottom slot which is always defensive by rolling with normal feathers until you get a good third slot.

The problem for tower is that people usually want to delay the zone for a little later in the fight to finish the job and you want to sync with dps not with the support.
Tower was still clearable with good enough dps and cynthia so if you already have cynthia you can focus on other typings for tower but if you gave a new player the choice then Koriina makes Tower easier.

I wonder if I should upgrade AS Misty and SS Kris for tomorrow, they're currently both 1/5
I have NC May too so I'd like to use SS Kris/NC May/AS Misty for the water weak stage, and I wonder if it would also be better then my current Ghost team (V!Cynthia/Volo/SS Cynthia) as a generalist.
>>
>>562319672
Misty really pumps out a ton of damage but it’s feels like if you want her to be the overall special team you’d want her at 5/5 for the extra benefits that make her clear even faster and stronger. It’s definitely better than the ghost team you said.
>>
>>562320257
I could also pump her to 5/5 but it's still 4 yellow candies so it's quite the step.
Maybe I'll wait at least until the 2 pokefair tickets, iirc we should be able to get them with just the first 3 rounds this time and if I manage to get SS Iono then I can just let Red96 lay destruction on the whole world
Partially related, but I find stupid that we can exchange a SA candy from the Gym shop but at the same price as a normal candy. Personally I'd have them at
>50 tickets = SA candy
>100 tickets = Role move candy
>150 tickets = Generic move candy
Considering their actual worth
>>
>>562320987
Yeah it’s a huge investment but I can at least speak from experience that she’s strong enough to be worth it. Also yeah I don’t even consider the 1 SA candy since the other candies are way more valuable. I still haven’t exchanged my 100 tickets for a candy since I’m waiting to see what pair would really need it and how low my current stack is in the moment.

>>562387646
Yeah, well my current only and best option is a SS Dawn
Between Rosa and Bellelba, I think the latter may be better because of Support+Field, more damage reduction fields and not relying on a B-move that eats away time.
>>
>>562388328
Bellelba is pretty much just tanky with some flinch but does that incredibly well.
Rosa has Psychic AND Fighting rebuff, can do zone for both at 5/5, provides infinite PMUN/SMUN and Sing/Confusion utility, so more versatile all around.
>>
So they did do something to the gym battle. They massively buffed the points after the first set of stages so you earn 1 million points just doing the base 3 rotations instead of 1 million points needing like 4.5 rotations. You get 80k points from a stage in rotation 3 when before you got 30k.

She seems just kinda alright. Probably have to run her with a dedicated support who can pump her with smun but without it she just provides ex terrain, rebuff, debuffs and decent damage but nothing crazy.

Idk if we will stay anywhere close here but hopfully hazard hall can top 100 again!
If you are part of hazard hall please join the discord!
>>
>>
My gym is composed of like 7-8 "trysofts" (me included) and then there's like 7-8 chillers that usually manage to do 30-50% of a round 4-6 stage's hp, and then 3-4 guys that started during the last year and barely do 1000 damage per triple ticket
But desu the idea of kicking the latter out just to have a shot at top 100 (was top 250~ first gym battle) seems just so rude and toxic, especially for what, an extra SA candy and 500 gems? Meh.
>>
>>562453202
If super noobs can just clear the first rotation and then spend the rest of their tickets on single clears to activate cheer and throw up some debuffs that is pretty much just as good as a tryhard. I have a legitimate retard in mine who spent 6 tickets clearing stage 1 stages that someone else was already fucking doing so we ended first rotation with 100k instead of 80k.
He was also the guy that did literally zero damage in the previous gym battle because he brought special to physical water and couldn't be bothered to reset.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>562462648
Most of the weakest gyms are up there because they just had everyone log in and do their stages immediately. But i'm sure there are a bunch of weak gyms that just completely reformed i've seen a couple brand new ones that were clearly made to funnel people into it.
>>
I can already see my gym probably isn’t making it to the top 500 like last time. We’re already sitting in the 400s with 3 members that haven’t logged in still. I already have low expectations so it doesn’t really bother me and getting enough for 2 candies already is fine with me. If I was in a more competitive gym I’d probably be pissed.

All the problems with gym battles would be fixed if they just gave 1 SA candy for participating and 1 for top 500 and the top 100 and 8 rewards were just tickets and gems. Especially now that that they made it easier for the absolute shitter gyms to get the 1 million points.

You can already basically do that by just spending your 1 ticket to cheer and debuff. The problem is that the shittiest players cant figure that out and instead they spend 3 tickets doing 10% damage and setting up 0 debuffs.

Not exactly
Role-wise Electric is missing a modern physical unit, but it doesn't necessarily need to be an Arc Suit considering how the Kanto NCs (and Volo) are more or less Arc Suits mechanic-wise.

I'm part of some daily login JP gym and this time at least we have 19 players participating so it's comfy, the newbies just get 3k points but at least they cheer for the good players
Supreme leader kicked some players that were not logging in daily which I found questionable since we just got newbies instead but whatever, we're around top 250 at the moment which IIRC is an improvement from last time
Several days remaining so we could still go down quite hard in the ranking near the end

Cheer buff alone is 50% extra damage, add rebuff/debuff to streamline team comp for damage, that 50-70% can turn into 99% clearing the stage.
Needs some understanding of how the game works or communication by all involved obviously.

This happens but I am more annoyed by players spamming x1 ticket debuff and cheer 96 Red in the late circuits with the paralysis spam cucking you out from extra damage from poison or burn.
If you are going to use 96 Red teams then go full Electric DPS with eventual A Julianna even when facing special damage only but stop spamming it on teams that have types relying often on specific non paralysis status for multipliers. Happened with burn or poison vs Kabu too, it's common knowledge AS Ethan has multipliers for paralysis.

Everyone is my gym is just staring at each other with 5 gym battles at 100% that no one dares to initiate.
Is there even a point in me spending one ticket and debuffing a few of them? No one ever does it in my gym, not sure how useful it really is. I don't know what kind of status the next player would expect either. I guess paralysis works everywhere except in the poison weak stages?

The thing is I don't even know if it's really useful or not. Some people even say it's a waste of animation cycles. I'm in the top 5 of my gym so it's not like it's my only way to contribute either.
Depends on my teammates I guess and since I don't know who will pick up the fight next it's impossible to tell.

>>562851071
>Is there even a point in me spending one ticket and debuffing a few of them?
On the harder circuits it's mandatory for efficient clears. Cheers give the next player such a massive boost in damage it's always worth it so you might as well use the 90 second to weaken them.

That's what I'm trying to figure out, the meta is basically to stack buffs to deliver one big B-move nuke, poison animation wastes time and gets in the way of that. Paralysis does not and if it cancels an enemy attack it saves a ton of time, to be fair in the gym battles they're probably all immune to it because I don't remember that ever happening, that info must be written in some googledoc somewhere because god forbids the game tells you what you're up against.
At this point I think I should not even bother with status at all, next player will apply whichever one they need. Which basically leaves lowering defense stats and type rebuff.
I still have a hard time believing that it's worth using 1 ticket just for that and cheering.

>>562869807
They have the stupid lessen (status) passives I think so it just lowers the chances of paralysis turn skipping but I'm sure it's still possible
I just think Poison is still good because it can shave off precious percent chunks when you are using smaller ticket amounts, and just in general means you kill the unit faster. Especially stacked with Trap damage

Perrin is a way better unit than Hassel and dragon lacks anything even close to anni Gloria and needs to use her sub optimally instead so rock probably is better. Especially if you SA Perrin since she gives Brock some multipliers and her damage is actually decent.

>>562869807
>they're probably all immune to it because I don't remember that ever happening
They do, just that it's not recommended. If your run requires your opponent to be paralyzed several times, it's best to discard it.

So forgive me but what exactly are you supposed to do in the gym battles? Just throw your strongest pairs of that type and do as much damage as possible? Should I skip dailies to stack more tickets? I'm only doing around 15% each time with 3 tickets which I guess is nowhere near what I should be doing.
>>
>>562953854
If your stongest pairs on type are shit, you either use 1 ticket to apply debuff, status terrain, etc on at least 3 stages for someone who can actually deal damage or you off type with your strongest team
>>
>>562954502
Ah ok. It probably doesn't help that I'm one of those who doesn't just use whatever pair - I only use mons / pairs that fit a certain theme I have. Guess that means this mode isn't ideal for me. Thanks though.
>>
I just 5/5'd 96 Red since he's all I'm using for the gym battles and it makes such a huge difference from 3/5.
Now I'm praying that they don't make an even more broken pair before the next gym event because two tech candies for 2 days worth of content isn't the best investment. Hopefully I can at least keep using him off-type until the next anniversary.

The only problem with Klara is she ends up losing a bunch of damage when there are physical/special restrictions. Since Irida's passive makes it so she can spam her buddy move but it will always alternate between physical and special. But if all she's doing is syncing it doesn't matter since it's always special.

I guess ir depends on what most people in a gym are using for dps. If they are using Hilda for bea, defese debuff, rebuff and trap poison are good. If tge use Ethan for kabu, para and sp def debuff. And most important of all, your heartfelt cheer <3

>instead of clearing stages normally you stack every single person on the same stage at the same time
This makes it so you can minimize the shit stage combinations and maximize the good ones and one ticket set up is being used to improve 19 other clears instead of setting up one. So you can set up the water stage for 1 ticket and then everyone nukes it so instead of being worth 200k points it is worth 4 million points. The first place team has millions of more points than teams playing properly while having significantly less stages cleared.

I feel like the battle rally change is another maintenance mode change. It doesn't count the number of weeks per month and gives a blanket number every month.

Last night I completed a battle with one ticket using pokey cheese then I figured I would just debuff and cheer the two battles that were still at 100% for the top 2 JP player who still had tickets saved up, then I went to bed.
Next morning I check and one guy spent 3 tickets for 3000 damage and another 3 tickets for 700 damage on the two battles I had debuffed. Never debuffing anything ever again until I join a new gym.
At least we barely made top 500.

Arven's normal attacks will be better but I think Hugh has the better sync. Arven gets recoil removal 9 so he wont vaporize his own health bar when he uses double edge which is a massive bonus. Arven gets a 300 BP double edge with PMUN on every attack and a 30% multiplier.

Ah yes, as a huge Lilliefag I will be choosing Cafe since they are using her mon to promote that faction. Surely she is in that group.

I actually don’t think the ones in the event will be the ones getting alts. It will be whomever comes to eat at the cafe that gets an alt. Lillie will just be a staff member, they just didn’t use her in the event yet because cafe is stacked enough as it is.
