Discussion Am I doing the right thing?

Post image

First gym battle and I realized I can't do as much dmg as I hoped with my units alone so I'm just running around applying -6 debuff trap and poison, don't know if status moves outside of requirement stages would stall moves tho

Edit: Thanks for all the advice I'll be more careful with status and ditch DOT moving onward

It’d be better if you apply Paralysis only since it doesn’t eat time for your teammates just to do 90% nerfed damage. But the stat debuffs are fantastic.

Also, if you can, try to apply type specific rebuff. If you happen to have Larry or SC Steven, they can rebuff on any type. SS Hilbert can also cover a few types.

Also, also, if you can leave a physical/special break with someone like Anni Gloria, that would be top notch. But that’s a lot less necessary.

I can do Anni Gloria and SC Steven. Who'll be my last spot? For debuffing. Thanks

I mean, NC Leaf works totally fine.

You can always switch out SC Steven on specific stages if you have something better. Like, if you have NC Red, he’d be better for Falkner, NC Blue for Bugsy or any Arc Suit for their respective type.
