F2P Trio vs Battle Villa
Around 7 months ago I did a write-up ( and a playlist walkthrough ( on how to sweep BV within a day using just f2p units. It was a big deal back then that all 9 sync pairs were needed in order to achieve so.
Today with Xerneas, this is easily achieved without much difficulties. Moreover u can break it into few days to achieve the “1-day sweep” all thanks to the adjustments made by Dena.
However first and foremost, although technically this is 100% f2p, but pls don’t expect to pull this off if you just joined the game in less than 2 months. U should have at least met the following prerequisites:
– Haxorus at 3/5, with at least 4* potential, and has lessen 8/9 confusion lucky skill.
– Swanna at 2/5 or above, with at least 4* potential, best if has vigilance lucky skill.
– Xerneas at 3/5 (will be given 4/5 for free anyways) and with vigilance lucky skill.
– All 3 units have sufficient sync orbs to cover the necessary sync grids.
Strategy in nutshell:
Basically you take advantage of Xerneas’ sync to provide free buffs on +6 sp def, sp attack, and speed; while its passive allows Haxorus to gradually buff up its attack. For Haxorus’ sync grid you want to cover “Carry On 1” so that it can atk+1 whenever any opponent is down. Take advantage of MP refresh only on potion and TWIV.
Rather than going through strategies for every single Hall, here are the rules of thumb that u just simply need to follow to pull this off, so that u can get the respective BV medals.
Rules of thumb:
1) Starting battle rotation for most halls:
Dazzling Gleam – Gust – You’re going down! – Dazzling Gleam – Gust – Dragon Claw –
Dazzling Gleam – Gust – Dragon Claw –
Queue Xerneas Sync – Gust – Outrage –
(carry on and employ turn-skipping technique)
2) Make sure to prompt MP refresh for ‘You’re going down’ for halls 4 and above.
3) If you are not familiar with the term “Turn-skipping” or you do not know how to 3v9 effectively, you may refer to my previous guide (
4) For Skyla’s potion, use it if 1 unit (say Haxorus) has particularly low HP, and only use it in the beginning of a match so that u can better prompt for MP refresh.
5) For Xerneas’ TWIV, use it if at least 2 of your units have low HP. Also only use it in the beginning of a match for MP refresh purposes. Note that it is preferable to only use it in 3v6 or 3v9 battles because you will gain most heals out of it with longer battles.
