F2P 15k Kalos Champion stadium week 24

round 1: I'll be honest, i was fully expecting marshal to finish wikstrom off with his sync, so when he survived at 2%, I legitimately made an "oh shit" face without realizing lol. but thankfully, thanks to Korrinas defensive circle and Lenoras X sp.def, marshal was barely able to survive. round 2: missing the crit in the center was a pain in the ass, but thanks to berthas trap, sand damage, and stealth rock, it didn't matter too much. although tierno had a tough time surviving, even with berthas attack drops. round 3: not much to say about this one. although thank god siebold used his X Attack AFTER his sync not before, otherwise with Iono wouldn't have been able to tank it round 4: This stage was the one I was most excited for because of the new free hail setter, Cynthia and Glaceon. (after being reminded of its existence) thanks to her, Lorelei was actually able to clear this with a free team! Although, in hindsight I probably should have tried to get a little bit of a cleaner clear, because this was botched as hell. Not only was her first sync missing the power from her base sync multiplier (which is freeze. Yes, its awful) But the second one, which did have her base sync multiplier active, wasn't a crit... Round 5: not much to say about this one. I used koga to continue the theme of using E4 members (ignoring iono) and oak to set up a special damage reduction shield to hopefully help mitigate the boost diantha was getting from her fairy zone. Which it did. And Roxanne was there to buff special attack, aswell as both defenses to help oak tank the hits. And because of the poison, koga didn't need many boosts to get through this stage. Although this took forever to actually do, because Roxanne wouldn't get her damn MP refresh, and when she finally did, KOGA DIDN'T GET HIS! so, that was a pain in the ass, but excluding that, it was fine. It's also worth noting koga being at level 200 didn't change the outcome, it would have worked totally fine with just a level 140-180 koga.
