[chained-spirits]

I heavily doubt there will be an update this month, I've been preoccupied with Artfight, and LM Twili, so I apologise

I still want to post something this month, so here are some Chained Spirits doodles I did during exam season !

[yellowocaballero]

*Places a soapbox by your feet and hands you a microphone* So what did you think of the Ashen Wolves?

I love the rat people. Fantastic characters. Their wide spectrum of backgrounds and situations contribute a lot to the worldbuilding, they feel integrated into the world despite their late addition, they're strong additions to the theme and messages of the story, and they have a cohesive dynamic between them that makes them actually feel like friends for years. If you think about their situation for more than five seconds it's kind of insane. I like how Yuri pretended to betray them and literally only Balthus bought it. I also just fucking love Yuri. He's so fantastic. Obsessed with him. You will notice this very quickly.

I think Yuri catfishes men on Grindr. Balthus gets catfished on Tinder and Yuri has to save him from getting scammed out of $200 for stolen feet pics. Hapi is a League of Legends addict who once said a curse word on the chat and accidentally blew up their server. Constance rebuilds her family's wealth by selling cryptocurrency to finance bros. They all live in the same shitty basement apartment that is literally never clean. Yuri pretends to be whatever sign is compatible with yours. How does he know your sign? You're asking too many questions.

Yuri will non-stop aggressively try and convince Byleth that he's a terrible person, mostly because he is the best person in the game and he resents it. He's such a fascinating counterpoint to Dimitri/Claude/Edelgard, who all pretend to be great people when they actually all suck a bit. Balthus tried to be a good person for about five seconds before giving up and wandering way to go play pool, in an insanely selfless and giving maneuver. Hapi resents existing and she's mostly a good person because it's too much effort not to care about people. Constance does good things because it fluffs her ego and would be very surprised to discover that she is, actually, a good person. They all think the other three are complete losers and they don't know why they hang out. They are the only actual found family in the game. Gay People (TM).

In Cindered Shadows, I HC that he was sleeping with Aelfric. Cindered Shadows was fucking wild, by the way.

Like what the fuck was with that? Huh? Are we going to go into more detail? What?

the dbda as mlp characters bc i love both

first charles as rainbow dash (although u could argue apple jack)

i don't have much to say they're both impulsive and have big shiny eyes while others might hesitate to achieve what they want i find charles is eager to lead his own wanted path for example wandering earth with edwin for however long which was decided like seconds after he died i would say they're both very trusting and eager to make friends with people who can turn out to be bad for them (the hilarion boys and hilda rainbow dash's old griffin friend)

second edwin as twilight sparkle

they both found it hard to be social and didn't have much value in friends but once they gain them they care very deeply for them they can both seem rude to others but that’s mostly cs of their lack of experience despite the amount knowledge they contain when it comes to others there's a significant lack (edwin avoiding simon)

third crystal as sunset shimmer

i actually found it a bit hard to find one that fit crystal until i remembered sunset existed 😭 ofc they both were "bad" ppl during the beginning of their life but both learn to be good (crystal losing her memories) and where they'd disregard ppl before they try to help close ones and others around them i'd also say they're both quite sensitive/emotional (sunset is also my favourite and crystal deserves no less)

fourth niko as fluttershy

while i do think some ppl will disagree w me and say she's pinkie pie i disagree. niko is quite a bright character but she is very gently voiced and while impulsive when it comes to things like love her actions aren't exactly hyper and she's very soft when talking to her friends like for example when she was talking to edwin abt monty she treated him very gently not wanting to pressure him

BONUS !! (bc i love monty) fifth monty as pinkie pie

monty is (i find) a very bright and fun character i think he's quite naive like pinkie pie he has a big energy around him and can seem quite extreme to others he has very big feelings and can be easily led astray by others one dissimilarity i find between him and pinkie pie is his distaste to others (like charles and shortly edwin when rejected which i find more similar to rarity) but he's quickly led by emotions and sadly that ended badly ( :( monty back for season 2 please!!)

Anotações soltas 19/07/2024 (texto, escrevendo)

Tenho que terminar o livro da Anais Nin (Delta de Vênus), da Hilda Hist (Ficções), tem tanto livro que preciso ler...

Então nessa última "promoção" eu só comprei mangás, justamente porque são leituras rápidas:

- Buda volume 6: além de gostar de Budismo, ainda é o Osamu Tezuka né? Algumas piadas, especialmente as referências modernas eu não curto, mas estou adorando o mangá.

- Nana volume 1: nunca li, só sei que é sobre duas garotas completamente diferentes com o mesmo nome.

- Aku no Hana volume 1: coincidentemente, esses dias parafraseei Baudelaire ("O maior truque daquele que não é o diabo foi convencer o mundo de que ele era feito de amor.") E gostei da premissa do mangá ao ler a sinopse.

- Eu gosto de colecionar as primeiras edições de mangás. E eu não consigo ler uma edição que não seja a primeira.

Não sei o que é pior, os bots com apenas uma foto no fixado ou quem nem coloca pelo menos um avatar na conta.

Essa atualização do No Man's Sky está linda. Pena que joguei tanto já que saturou um pouco.

Aquela frase do CS Lewis sobre reciprocidade me pegou em cheio... talvez porque ressoe com aquela ideia que resumi numa frase um tempo atrás: "O maior amor é o não correspondido." Engraçado como as vezes "conversamos" com outros autores, seguindo a ideia do "atemporal, anacrônico". Sinto o mesmo as vezes quando leio algumas postagens fantásticas de outros autores por aqui.

Relendo e reeditando os primeiros capítulos de O pássaro e a fonte e vendo que uma coisa que detesto ler ou fazer, repetir palavras, aconteceu várias vezes. Well, edição edição edição. Acho inclusive interessante: quantas formas existem de descrever os mesmos acontecimentos? Pra mim isso também é um tipo de "treinamento de escrita".

Falando em frases, uma das minhas favoritas é: "Seu coração é do tamanho de um punho. Continue amando, continue lutando." Não encontrei a fonte original da frase.

Só hoje fui aprender o que é um epigrama. Obrigado Cervantes.

Falando em gramas, eu preciso escrever mais caligramas, pena que o Tumblr zoa com a formatação e eu não queria recorrer a ter que postar imagens. Mas é imagem de texto... então quem sabe. (Um texto em forma de imagem é subversivo também não é?).

Vontade de ouvir Skylab, Zeca Baleiro e Tom Zé ("Tô te explicando pra te confundir, tô te confundindo pra te esclarecer")

Eu adorei esse trecho aqui do segundo livro do Dom Quixote:

Até agora, 11:30: 1796 palavras adicionadas, 386 removidas em "O Pássaro e a Fonte". Reescrevi o capítulo 2 estou na metade do 16.

Thinking about muhritocracy again or as our Supreme Leader puts it, "rising and falling by your own merit" -

Isn't Cyril basically the poster child of this ideal sucking?

Both in Almyra and during his spiritual retreat in House Goneril, Cyril mentions that he had to "work hard", it's implied he had to work hard to earn whatever keep he could have (food, but even then that was not common).

Cyril embracing muhritocracy also wants to work "real hard" to repay Rhea, otherwise he feels like he cannot remain in Garreg Mach.

We know the Nabs would never kick him out for this reason (hell Hilda was enrolled and Manu is still a teacher) and both Seteth and Rhea (the latter only did so off-screen and it's basically mentionned in his S support with Billy bcs Rhea can't have screentime I guess) tell him that while repaying a debt is admirable, he needs to start on living now.

Aka, Cyril is allowed to "exist" and "live" even without overworking himself to the bone to have the "right to exist".

Now, FE Fodlan being what it is, the angle of GM being a safehaven/place where old people, children and basically people who cannot "rise due to their own merits" live is completely ignored bar that off-handed comment in Cyril's support with Claude that Rhea basically wants to make a place for people without status/who are vulnerable.

And that place is Garreg Mach.

CS introduces the Abyss that is basically GM+Asylum for people seeking it, even if Aelfric paints it with a Rhea BaD veneer, it's here to offer a shelter to those who are "persecuted" on the "surface" like Dagdans and Almyrans, the poor, the sick, etc etc - basically a "place for those who have nowhere to go".

Constance's family was demoted to nothing by Ionius because they failed to defend Adrestia against Dagda? Her house "fell" by its own "lack of muhrit"... so GM offers her a place to be, even if she (her house, but Adrestia always deals with Houses and not with people!) failed once.

Tldr : GM is the place that completely pissed on Muhritocracy, and where people who have no "muhrit"/status are supported/receive help by the Church.

Cyril works very hard to "earn" the right to remain in GM, but he has yet to understand (only with his supports with the Nabateans!) that he doesn't need to "earn" any right to be and live in Garreg Mach, it's just that kind of place.

Wait

So I have this idea for this analog horror story cs I was watching Hilda

(Yes, the kids show on Neflix, yes, I'm grown who gon stop me?)

and I was like, what if theirs an entity that even most forest creature don't know about? Maybe written in the POV of an unreliable narrator? Or some sort of betrayal from something or someone the main character wouldn't expect?

I was thinking about this because I was scared shitless of the goblins when I first watched the show and I was SOoo confused as to how she didn't gaf that they neck was super long and they eyes was super small with that big ahh body.

halottak játszanak

Amikor nagyon régi filmeket nézek, azt szoktam mondani, "halottak játszanak nekünk". Lányom ezt nem szereti, mert szerinte ez így túl morbid, rossz hangulatot kelt. Én ezt másképp látom. Hálás vagyok a mozgókép műfajnak, hogy megőrzi őket nekünk, és akár évtizedekkel eltávoztuk után is élvezhetjük a játékukat.

A tizedes meg a többiek 1965-ben készült, fele annyi idővel a háború után, mint amennyi a mi csodás rendszerváltásunk óta eltelt. Az oroszok minden spájzban ott voltak, az 56-os politikaiakkal tele voltak a börtönök (már akit életben hagytak), mégis volt a levegőben valamiféle túlélő életöröm, és egy kis cinkos összekacsintás a diktatúra háta mögött. A nyolcvanas évek végén volt egy felbuzdulás, hogy legyen egy második rész, amiben arról lenne szó, kivel mi lett, a Tizedes hogyan boldogul a gmk-k, fusi és ügyeskedés világában. Aztán ez elült, mert rendszert váltottunk, mással voltunk elfoglalva. Aztán megint feltámadt az ötlet, de inkább csak beszélgetés vagy vágy szinten, mert mi magyarok mindig is szerettük a betyár virtust, legyen az Rózsa Sándor, a Tizedes, vagy a Viszkis. Ők helyettünk is borsot törnek a hatalom orra alá, és van bennük némi huncut, egészséges pofátlanság. Nem tudni, hogy írói tehetség, pénz, vagy központi akarat hiányzott az új folytatáshoz. Végül Sinkovits átigazolt az égi társulathoz, és nélküle ugye...

Úgy tudom, külföldön is nagyot ment a film, szerintem jól szemlélteti a magyarok túlélő képességét (és hogy miért nem fogadunk szót a nyakunkra ülő törvényhozóknak). Csilliószor láttam már de képtelen vagyok megunni :) Abban biztos vagyok, hogy a legjobb magyar filmek listáján mindig dobogó-közeli marad.

Unit Viability Speculation - July 2023

DeNA: Establishes right away that Summer is for female protagonists.  First Lyra, then Gloria, then Hilda.

DeNA: Creates Variety Scouts for all the less popular characters, killing any hope of alts for all but the most popular of options.

DeNA: Introduces Master Fair reruns, each signaling the next batch of new characters they’re about to drop.  SS Lusamine predicts Alola VA, SSR Cynthia predicts Hisui, and now Archie predicts Hoenn.

Literally everyone: “Okay so it’s May.  There’s a May alt.  It is definitely May.”

Tate and Liza.

DeNA, I hope whoever pitched this idea is running the company now, because not only is this the best long con I’ve seen, this is also the funniest way to build this up I’ve ever seen.

Summer Tate They gave Jirachi to Tate.  After all this talk of May, Wally, and Lisia, they gave it.  To Tate.  I am in love with this decision.  Sincerely, outside of the nichest of fans of these two, is anyone actually happy here?  Is it just me and @megazardx2?  Well too bad, fuck y’all, my boy is thriving.

Tate not only got Jirachi, but avoided what I thought was the guaranteed pain of Doom Desire as a two-turn move.  No.  It turns out that’s a passive now.  Every other attack he throws out gets another stack of damage.  While we don’t know how much, the way it’s written sounds like NY!Dawn and Oricorio, so I am fully expecting 100%.  When this bonus damage activates, a random stat among the seven gets boosted by 2 stages, and the opponent’s special defense drops by 2.  It’s a slow process, but special defense debuffers have my life, so I’m happy.  Flash Cannon is okay damage, Thunder Wave is optimal Gauntlet shenanigans, and Charm is...present.  Trainer move is a classic +4 Sp Atk/+3 crit, and sync requires lowered attack.  So already his kit is wonky.  Charm is sync setup, but then you’re not debuffing with Doom Desire, which takes time on its own, and you just know there’s paralysis multipliers in the grid so there’s that angle too.

Thankfully, his grid provides a form of Overwhelm 9 that I assume takes Doom Desire into account as well given how it’s listed as a P-Move?  That or it’s only active on P-Move.  Either really good or really bad, but it specifies attack so no -3 Atk Charm.  Brainteaser’s nice, Rising Tide is fantastic, Fortuitous and another +1 on P-Moves is nice, Static Shock 5 is predictable, apparently another +1 to a random stat when he uses a status move, Natural Remedy and Quick Cure, Hit and Heal on trainer move, Ramp Up on Charm.

Tate is...interesting.  I’m not sure what else to say about the lad.  I think the kit is ultimately acceptable, but there are some oddities in his self setup.  Oddities that Lucian completely solves.  Sincerely, Lucian covers his DPS, his sync condition, and even assists Rising Tide.  Will Lucian ever stop winning?  But moreover, Tate is Steel-type, and raises the question...is this better than what’s currently available?  Base Gloria’s expansion is to die for, Palentine’s Marnie and her Zone don’t really work well wit him given his special focus (first among the Steels to be bad with her, by the way), and we also have Rose this month, who...well I’ll get to that one.  Tate just has competition, and I think the tradeoff is going to be one of utility.  Tate will be better in Gauntlet than CS, no question.  But I think Lucian does mean he has a home in CS.

Summer Liza I had to look this up, but apparently Celesteela does have comparable attack and special attack.  I always assumed it was special dominant.  Complaint redacted, this is all upside.  That said, two Celesteela before a single Nihilego.  I’m not mad, I’m furious.

Summer Liza and Celesteela come in as a Flying type Striker.  After P!Elesa, this may raise some concerns.  Be at peace, my child.  Flying Shift Giga Impact be upon you.  This is a double-edged sword.  4-bar spam Normal with 90 accuracy means big DPS numbers, but the tradeoff is she’s slow as hell, and has no other damage aside from sync.  Iron Defense and Protect are defensive tools, very unusual for a Striker.  Her trainer move raises accuracy +1, crit +3, then raises attack by how much defense is raised.  Okay, so she uses Iron Defense, then trainer move, then she can spam.  That’s slow.  Oh, except she gets Free Moves Next and +2 defense for each status move used.  So she sets up defense +4, boosts with trainer move, then throws out a free Giga Impact.  Any +2 to defense off a defensive ally like, oh I dunno, Skyla, suddenly gets her to cap.  That’s respectable.

Grid offers Super Victory (I love this stupid move on high DPS pairs), Tough Cookie (free money), MGR9 (Ghetsis strats), Towering Force and Team Sentry Entry for perfect self-sufficiency, HP Advantage 4 which is odd, Protect Physical Boost Up 3 for +3 physical moves up next AND Status P-Moves Up 2 for another +2 off either status move, which means Protect is a goddamn +5 physical moves up next stack on its own, Tough Sync 3, Piercing Gaze for some reason, and got dang Vigilance.

Liza.  You fucking did it, girl.  You actually did high Flying-type DPS without a dumb gimmick.  I legitimately didn’t think we’d ever see the day.  Sure, the gauges are a problem, but it’s nothing that can’t be solved by speed boosting, and Skyla is literally right there.  On physical stages, that’s a free win.  Masked Royal also fixes all her issues, doubles down on survival against physical stages, and debuffs defense for her.  Guys, Liza’s really good.  We actually got a really good Flying type Stiker who isn’t just good for sync.  And it’s Celesteela.  This is my daughter now.

Rose Steel Striker, okay.  Good luck competing with Gloria for...oh holy shit.

Iron Head, High Horsepower, Stone Edge, Hit the Gas 5, Max Moves, and his main passive makes all of his moves and Max Moves AoE.  Fucking suck it, Victor.  It doesn’t even let moves suffer a DPS drop, he just does that.  As an added bonus, how about we pull in some SS Giovanni, and make his Steel moves stronger while also making them never miss?  Bro, Rose, what the fuck, man?  Keep in mind that Iron Head is a goddamned 30% flinch rate, and it’s AoE now.  His only flaw is that, despite his trainer move being Eusine-esque in its immediate capping of offense, it drops speed by 2.  He was already painfully slow, and with Hit the Gas 5, Rose is looking to end a match really fast, or die trying.  Which...hey, massive points for thematically appropriate sets.

For Grid, Rose is a Pokefair, and I need to talk about the 5/5 Grid first.  He gets Free Moves Next on every hit while the field is a Steel Damage Zone at 5/5.  This is, by far, the most lifechanging skill I’ve seen on a 5/5.  Rose wants to buff, pop Max Move, then hopefully not deal with anything past that point.  This lets him continue past that point.  This is the off-type node.  It’s that good.  But, it’s also on a timer.  Once it leaves, it never comes back.  So I don’t think it’s all that worth it.  Defense Crush 9 on AoE is hilarious though.  Impervious is...fine.  The speed drop being blocked is nice but eh.  And extra power on his Max Move is...fine.  I don’t think it’s necessary, and frankly it being at 4/5 kinda invalidates his 5/5 tools by clearing faster.

The rest of his grid is Double Down 2, Interference Immunity, Haymaker and Furious Brawn, Iron Head MGR9, MAX Super Preparation which is obscene for on-type, Double Down 2 and a 50% sync bonus when the Steel damage field is up, Sync Freebie, Max Countdown 1, and some Sandstorm stuff including Surging Sand 3 and Sands of Time 2.

Rose is...really fucking good, man.  As much as I shit on Victor constantly, his AoE Max Move does put in a ton of work, and is a major selling point.  Rose copies that entirely.  While his base attack is lower than Victor’s, and his speed is a major issue, Rose makes up for it with much more efficient self-setup and frankly much better multipliers.  Rose is free, Victor needs support.  And I think Steel is a type in much greater need than Grass, while the backup of Rock and Ground, two types fairly notorious for a weaker presence, makes Rose particularly valuable as an offensive pick.  But he’s very SS Giovanni-esque, in that if supported correctly, he’ll clear just fine.  But if he’s not...he’s going to fail.  Badly.  Like, I don’t even want to think about how bad this guy has it in Gauntlet.

Oleana Hey kids, did you get Emma?  No?  Okay, here’s a do-over.  Oleana and GMax Garbodor come in with Gunk Shot, a tremendously powerful Poison-type move.  Love me some good Poison DPS.  Move Gauge Boost is a choice, Venom Drench is interesting, and her trainer move is +4 Atk/+3 crit/+2 accuracy, and a -1 sync cooldown.  Which is good because you want her Max Move early, as it applies Poison to all foes.  Sorry, Toxic.  Yeah, her passive bumps up her Poison status to Toxic, my bad.  Oh and she hits the foe with Rebuff after the Max Move, by the way.  And that Venom Drench?  Yeah, any stat debuff from a status move on a Poisoned target is tripled.  Two turns to max debuffs, and she’s an offense debuffer; I know several people about to go ballistic over this one.  Statistically, she’s relatively slow and could be better on attack, 350s isn’t great for a starting point in this day and age, but it’s Poison so like take what you can get, girl.

4/5 gives Ruthless Toxin to randomly debuff the foe by 2 (not affected by passive), and Max Move Team Defense Down 2 (again, not affected) 5/5 gives Soften Up, and Venom Drench Twofer for free moves. Regular grid has Toxic Power 2 and 3, Virulent Toxin 2 and 5, Ramming Speed (???), Move Gauge Boost: Pep Rally 2 (aaah), Hit and Heal and Berserker 2 on trainer move, Potent Toxin for more Toxic damage, MAX Shielding for defense, Staggering 1, Posthaste 2, and Power Play.  That last one is real nice.

Oleana is very good.  Is she as good as Emma, though?  In CS, I’m going to say no.  It is very hard to compete with “I can perform a denial on turn 2 with hilarious consistency.”  I don’t suspect Oleana will be able to do that, but who knows, maybe she will with Max Move.  I think Oleana’s definitely top 2 contender for Poison damage, though.  This feels well above H!Iris.  And the debuffing is very nice, very efficient, and works well with some of my favorites.  So I’m...admittedly very tempted here.

Variety Mallow Ugh.  Variety Scouts.  They’re not even Elite Four, so there goes consistency in that regard.  And it’s Mallow.  I’ll be honest, I don’t like Alola’s cast much, and don’t really like Mallow.  To make it worse, they gave her Shiinotic.  I mean...props for picking one of my least favorite Pokemon ever.  At least Lurantis is still free to be on a good sync pair.

Grass support.  Giga Drain, Stun Spore, X Sp Def All, trainer move is 1MP, +4 Sp Atk/+2 Crit/+1 Accuracy for the team.  She debuffs attack when hitting with her Giga Drain, restores more HP when the foe is paralyzed, and has Status Immunity.  Statistically, she is fine, with bulk hovering around the 300 mark.  Grid gives Master Healer, MGR9 on Giga Drain, Shielded 1 on X Sp Def All, Endurance, Revenge Boost, debuffing special attack from a healing move, Pep Rally on trainer move (1MP, that’ll help), Team Sharp Entry, Stalwart, Quick Cure, Synchro Healing, and a 50/50 to heal again when hitting a paralyzed opponent.

Listen, how do you feel about Variety Agatha?  That’s your litmus test for Mallow, because they’re functionally identical.  Both are rapid buff bots with 1MP trainer move, both want status to heal themselves but can’t heal allies almost at all, both have some means of debuffing as desired.  Personally, while I love Sp Atk/Crit buffers, I feel like Mallow kinda sucks.  I say this knowing full well she’s going to be a Gauntlet solo aficionado with these tools.  But I don’t like Mallow, and I hate Shiinotic, and the kit is not doing anything new.  Easiest skip of my life.

Variety Kiawe Kiawe brought his dog.  Apparently, following Crobat, the second Pokemon to three forms is...Arcanine.  DeNA, come on.

Ember, Will-o-Wisp, Fire Spin, trainer move gives +4 Sp Atk/+2 crit and accuracy.  Tech nuke is based on burn, instantly gimping his Gauntlet career.  He is CS focused, and to emphasize this, he gets Extend Range to have moves apply to all foes.  In addition, if the foe is burned, he debuffs special attack by 1, and if trapped, special defense by 1.  ...hey yo Bede, how you doin?

Bede, laughing: “He needs two different statuses for -1?!  PEASANT”

Grid debuffs attack of a burned foe, lowering speed of a trapped foe, Power Play and Interference Sync 5, MGR9 broadly for some reason, Terrify 2, Stationary Target 3, Scorcher 2 and Pokey Trap 5 for passive damage, Team Sync Regen, Propulsion 9 on trainer move.

In summation, Variety Kiawe is a statistically average Fire-type tech with slow-acting debuffs requiring two distinct forms of status condition and status change, impacting his point totals wildly in CS and having poor choices for Gauntlet as well, all while debuffing far slower than Bede.  Did I miss anything?  No?  Garbage.  NEXT!

Lodge Irida Lodge Irida comes in as a...Tech?  She’s a Tech?  I was fully expecting Support.  Well, Fire type, so that doesn’t bode well.

Fire Fang, X Atk, Flare Blitz (oh no, it’s just like the main series), trainer move is Sp Def +1/Crit +2 and gradual healing.  Sync multiplier is burn.  Oh no.  Standfast 9 (whew), Aggravation 2, and Hostile Environment 2.  Girl, you locked your sync on a 30%, why?

Grid has First Aid 4, Aggravation 2, Double Down 3 (OH NO) and Scorching Sync 5 (OH NO), Hostile Environment 2, Superduper Effective 2, Burn Synergy 3, and a Standfast 5.

Okay.  I don’t really know what I expected.  But Lodge Irida’s not exactly good.  High BP moves with recoil can work, we’ve seen what Lodge Gloria does, but Flare Blitz has the misfortune of positive conditions that hinder total DPS in exchange for a slight burn rate.  I’m sorry, even at your best it’s a 50%, that’s not reliable.  The issue with Fire Fang is that Staggering caps to 50%, but it can only activate one condition at a time, so you can’t use it for disruption and setting up her burn.  In Gauntlet, Burn is bad by default, while in CS, unless I’m misremembering, the only spread Burn is from H!Morty.  “And the new Kiawe!”  I am not pulling for that clown.

Yeah, this is gonna be messy.  Irida’s going to live and die by her DPS.  Sync’s condition is too difficult to achieve, and frankly, her multipliers are pretty atrocious too for a Tech, being a measly 80% and partially locked to on-type.  I’m really unimpressed.

Blue (Grid Expansion) I’m gonna be honest, Blue got basically everything he ever wanted.  Ramp Up 2 on trainer move, and a full 150% sync multiplier.  Granted, hit with the same Sync Power Flux bat as Caitlin, but at least it’s not a locked to on-type situation.  His DPS was always respectable, albeit post-sync, so this works.  If there’s any particular flaw, it’s that self-setup still requires three turns.  Ethan had a lot of trouble with this, effectively needing sync to perform a denial and thus not working so well with Support EX.  Blue has similar concerns, but the mega evolution made that mandatory anyway, so it’s not like he misses out on much.  Without a good sense for his new damage output, I’m tentatively going to say this rules.  Karen only got the Sync Power Flux, and she’s frankly insane.  Then again, her DPS was directly tied to a high flinch rate, so I kinda feel like she got it a bit better than Blue just by design.  But this seems wholly respectable.  I don’t have Blue at EX, which is a shame because that’s really what you want here, but I imagine his fans will be pleased.

Dojo Gloria (Grid Expansion) What do you offer a sync pair that’s this powerful?  Apparently miscellaneous tools.  Interference Immunity and Impervious are cute but wholly unnecessary.  Restoring Strike is good for solos, but CS doesn’t really help much.  The big victory is the 5/5 Head Start 1.  Gloria is a fast-ramp all by herself now.  If you care.  I don’t.  3/5 is perfectly sufficient, everything in her expanded grid is like...okay.  There wasn’t much room left to improve though, if we’re being honest.  Would’ve liked to see Ripple Effect 4, but it’s fine.

Clair (EX) Oh my god, thank you.  I love Clair, I’m so glad she got something.  Unfortunately it sucks.  All of Clair’s damage is in DPS.  Her only multipliers are the 100% bonus damage to her Draco Meteor for Rain and Paralysis.  Her sync is borderline negligible.  It doesn’t exactly help that her favorite partner, SS Kris, needs first sync for MP Burst, so she’ll rarely see use from this.  It’s nice, but it’s the kind of occurrence that’s like listen, DeNA, just do a windfall of the story pairs getting EX.  There’s no reason to hold off.  Most of them can’t even do anything with it.

Alright then, I’ll take a look.

STRIKER (3)

Cynthia (3/5) - Okay, you know I have to advocate for her.  Cynthia’s stupid good, 5/5 makes her so wildly self-sufficient it’s hilarious.  That said, 5/5 depends on how much you care about Gauntlet, and Sand Alert 5.  Her power is at 3/5, and you actually give up a bit of strength for self-sufficiency.  It’s not actually a necessary trade.

Raihan (3/5) - How do you feel about Raihan right now?  I know he’s EX.  Does he consistently get the job done?  If yes, 5/5 is a waste of your resources.  The benefits are wild upgrades on his sync damage, and some speed debuffing utility, but it’s not entirely needed.

Steven (1/5) - To 3/5?  Sure.  Haymaker and Aggravation are fairly nice tools.  To 5/5?  God no.  His 5/5 expansion right now sucks ass, I have no idea what their game plan was here.

SS Red (2/5) - You have Leon.  Leon is just better SS Red with worse setup.  I can’t argue in favor of Red.

Summer Gloria (1/5) - I was going to say if she’s a favorite it’s probably worth it, but she actually gains very little on her grid, so I’m kinda like...maybe not Summer Gloria.

SS Leon (2/5) - Okay, I don’t have this guy, but my wife does.  And I’m kinda blown away at how bad 1/5 seems.  I know he’s got a bit of the Gloria issue of needing the foe to sync, but it’s still really bad.  I’d say this one’s relatively worth it, if you really want him.  But Dragon-type damage is a pretty easy one to cover with Cyrus.  And Zinniquaza, I guess.

Summer Steven (1/5) - Pfft, no.  No.  Ancient grid with like nothing of value, doesn’t even get Aggravation.  I run him, but I shouldn’t.

Emmet (2/5) - Gets Aggravation, sync multiplier, and the ability to set Sand on first sync.  I think it’s worth it, especially with Rock being so hard to shop for.

SC Sonia (1/5) - If you like Sonia, and you’re mostly using her for Grass-type damage, then 3/5 is wildly worth it.  She gets fantastic tools that offer much improved damage, and some nice utility in Defense Crush.  I don’t use her outside of Gauntlet, but you know.

SS Hilda (2/5) - 3/5 gets Rising Tide and Super Sync 9, which is just hysterical levels of firepower.  I know you have Leon, I assume preference goes to him for Fire damage, so she’s not entirely worth it in that context.  But also it’s really funny.

Leon (1/5) - Leon’s grid’s bad.  He doesn’t really gain much of anything from it.  Truth be told, I’ve used Leon a few times now, even off-type, and 1/5 is doing him just fine.  The extra burst damage of a Max Move really adds a lot of depth to him, so I don’t see this as being necessary.

Alder (2/5) - Bug damage is hard to come by, so it’s an option, but I feel like Alder’s kind of a rough option until 4/5 when he gets a reasonable multiplier on Hyper Beam.  But I dunno.  Personally, I’m waiting for Lusamine grid expansion.  Next month, maybe.  But it’s not bad.

SS Giovanni (1/5) - Now this is worth it.  As a known SS Giovanni Hater (TM), I’ll still say that for CS purposes, this dude is strong.  Critical Crit and Haymaker are tremendous tools, but he gets all his good multipliers on his already obscene damage.  Also, Hit the Gas stacks with the move damage improvement from higher move levels.  Like if you gain 10 points of damage, Hit the Gas makes it so you gained 15.  It’s really worth it.

Anni Steven (1/5) - Probably not worth it.  The only thing I’d say he gains that’s really useful is Fleet Feet and the MGRs on Dragon Ascent.  Oh, and Weather Wipe for Moltres, but that’s a tough one to pull off consistently.  Anni Steven isn’t much of a powerhouse, he’s more supplemental DPS. 

TECH (2)

Lucas (1/5) - Okay, unless he has any intention of being a primary damage dealer, no.  He’s fine as just the Zone setter.

Anni Raihan (3/5) - 5/5 gets him Sun extension, which is nice if he’s aiming to support Leon I guess.  But I don’t think it’s strictly necessary.

Anni May (3/5) - No way.  4/5 has some arguable utility, but it’s so wildly not enough to justify candy.

H!Iris (1/5) - Did you pick up Emma?  I can’t remember.  If no, definitely, Poison’s so hard to shop for.  If you have Emma, H!Iris can be supplemental.  Her 3/5 is mostly her nuke, and guaranteed special defense drops, which...they’re fine I guess.

Bede (1/5) - You EX’d him, right?  Then yeah, take it to 3/5.  Get your sync multipliers, he gets some hilarious utility across Psychic and Fire teams, and is an unbelievably good debuff bot.  I hate to say it, but I respect Bede in this game.

Eevee Lyra (1/5) - Water is super easy to shop for, there’s no need.  I had to 2/5 her just to get Muddy Water to hit consistently in Gauntlet, but I can’t recommend it for sane people.

SS N (1/5) - I mean...he gets slightly improved setup, and access to his two shitty multipliers.  Sure I guess.  Actually wait.  Are you getting SC Steven?  If yes I have a request, and it involves candying SS N.  Stack Physical Moves Up Next on N and see how stupid the numbers are.  That’s gotta be funny.  (Don’t actually do this)

SUPPORT (4)

SS Brendan (1/5) - I do not like Brendan.  But this alt is really good.  He’s got a metric ton of useful traits, so I think 3/5 is definitely worth it.

Aura Cynthia (1/5) - Same as above.  Cynthia’s just stupid good as a wall.  The main reason to do this for her is that she can now buff crit rate, use double Potion MPR, and apply paralysis.  It opens a lot up.

Evelyn (1/5) - Maybe if she had EX, I’d say 3/5 was worth it for Synchro Healing.  I will say, Fire Teamwork stacked with Leon’s passive is funny, it’s just that Evelyn...can’t buff Leon’s needed offenses worth beans.  So I don’t think they’re actually a good comp.  I dunno, she’s hard to justify.

Regirock (1/5) - Same deal but way worse because Regirock is a disaster.

Mesprit (1/5) - I’m biased.  We all know I’m biased?  Okay good.  2/5 Mesprit’s pretty fun.  That’s what I have, and you get access to Tighten Up and Toughen Up 3, which aren’t fantastic odds, but they’re passable when you have dual screens.  Freevenge, and the ability to buff special attack to crit with some speed bonus too, and Synchro Healing by default?  Mesprit’s really nice.  3/5 is relatively justifiable, since you get MPR on both screens, and can even guaranteed boost Def/Sp Def with each use of them.  Depending.  Energy constraints.  But it’s surprisingly versatile, considering how bad the other Master BP units are.

RECOMMENDATIONS If you’re looking to use everything, my recommendation for Striker is probably SS Giovanni to 3/5, and either Alder or Emmet to 3/5, depending on how much you need Bug-type damage.  Giovanni gets by far the most bang for your buck among the strikers, covering three types really well for CS.  Alder doesn’t gain a ton, but he finally gets multipliers of some variety that Viola can help set up, while Emmet gets Aggravation and some more Sand-related stuff.  You can buff SS Leon or SS Hilda to 3/5, but I feel like their types are well covered.

You don’t have a ton of Tech candy, so I’m gonna say Bede or or H!Iris to 3/5.  If you stick to Giovanni, Iris is likely not necessary, because he’ll handle CS Poison stages for you just fine.  Bede’s EX and has the potential for really good damage and support at 3/5, so I actually consider him the more dynamic pick.  Iris is just if you really need Poison damage.

With four support candy, I think Brendan and Cynthia are the obvious picks.  The Master BP units tend to be underwhelming and not that significant, and while I will defend 2/5 Mesprit’s honor to the death, I don’t know that I can recommend it against the other options.

tl;dr SS Gio to 3/5 Emmet or Alder to 3/5 Bede to 3/5 SS Brendan to 3/5 Aura Cynthia to 3/5

Here’s the candy options, @crystalelemental when you got time. Hope you don’t mind handwriting, I’m at work so this was easier. Don’t worry, it’s a slow day XD

After this part could I also request some sync grids off you? Some might be repeats, I’ve lost track a bit…

"I did the chores all by myself today! There's no way I was gonna let Balthus coddle me..."

“Did you now? I wonder why Balthus was coddling you…” Claude grins as he leans back in his chair, appearing very pleased with himself to hear that Hilda has done her chores without him having to say anything to her.
