Did an all-support (https://youtu.be/I8Uea32nu2c) and an all-tech (https://youtu.be/HNLXglfk0fw) run for the past two CS rotations so I figured I’d complete the trio. While these runs are generally faster thanks to the AOE sync moves, they’re a bit harder to build a team around since, due to their roles, there aren’t a lot of strikers that can act as pseudo-tanks.

Here’s how each battle went and the sync grids used:

Vs. Kahili: EX Classic Blue / EX Hugh / Hilda – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=014700062600&s0=4&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=18040502&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgkMDxEUFxgbHyEoKw&v1=002102014200&s1=3&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=44444&g1=AAECAwQFERITFBYZGx8hIyQv&v2=000400050000&s2=5&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=13010602&t2=44411&g2=AAECAwQFBgcRFBUWGR4hIyc

Hugh my favorite tanky techy striker. I brought Hilda to tank so that Antitoxin would block the Salamence’s Toxic. Classic Blue might not be top-of-mind for Rock-type damage-dealers but he gets the job done pretty well.

Vs. Molayne: EX Cynthia / Naomi / Molayne – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=065100002800&s0=5&l0=140&r0=3&p0=0&a0=13016303&t0=444&g0=AAECAwQFBgkMDxARFBcaHyEk&v1=009100044500&s1=4&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13016303&t1=44114&g1=AAECAwQFBhEUHiEjLzAxMjM0NTo&v2=018300005101&s2=3&l2=140&r2=4&p2=0&a2=13010602&t2=11111&g2=AAECAwQFBgcRFBUYGRsoKy0

I was trying this with ClubClub but sadly the damage was too low, and Molayne is to frail to compensate. So I switched to Naomi and it still took quite a number of resets. Tanking with Molayne also meant I could use Backfire after he gets KOed.

Vs. Olivia: EX Archie / Lodge May / EX Spring May – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012600032000&s0=3&l0=140&r0=4&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=44444&g0=AAECAwQFBgkKCwwNDxAREh4gJygp&v1=019300038200&s1=3&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13016303&t1=44441&g1=AAECAwQFCgsMDRARFBwoKy0uLw&v2=012601042800&s2=2&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=44411&g2=AAECAwQFBgcJERITFBYZHR8gISUmJykq

Very lucky clear – Spring May pretty much got everything she could’ve asked for in this run to serve as a good tank. Thanks to the extra damage from Lodge May, Archie only needed one rotation of rain to finish the clear.

Vs. Acerola: EX Anniversary Lillie / Selene / EX Fantina – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=012300072400&s0=5&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=44141&g0=AAECAwQFERQVFhgZGx8hIygrLQ&v1=011802079200&s1=3&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=44111&g1=AAECAwQFDA0RFBclKCorLC4v&v2=015100042900&s2=5&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=41411&g2=AAECAwQFBgcICgwNDg8QERITFBwlMDM0

Been a while since I did one of Anni Lillie’s signature one-shots. Selene activated the master passive while Fantina had the same idea as Molayne in that she would activate Guilt Trip once she’s KOed, but it didn’t happen lol.

Vs. Hau: EX Cyrus / EX Karen / EX Caitlin – https://ng-pomatools.web.app/team?v0=006200022900&s0=5&l0=140&r0=5&p0=0&a0=13010602&t0=4411&g0=AAECAwQFBhIUFRgaGycoKSswMzU&v1=019401048400&s1=5&l1=140&r1=5&p1=0&a1=13010602&t1=4411&g1=AAECAwQFBwoNDhEUFxovMDEyMzQ1&v2=009500057900&s2=5&l2=140&r2=5&p2=0&a2=21010101&t2=41411&g2=AAECAwQFBhESFBcYGR4lJyks

Kinda bummed that Caitlin didn’t get more tanking tools from her grid expansion, but she did get some neat offensive buffs. I still go for her pseudo-tank role here though, with Cyrus making short work of this stage.
