[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I'm wishing to take on Group 1 with Citrine and Ralice and Dragonstrike(? Plus his assigned NPCs?), scout the area of that group first with Lunn's aerial drone, set up defenses and buffs before the fight, then do a Stealth Attack on whether we can get a free Action against them, then take this Group out fast with Equinox and a colorful mixture of strong spells. What needs discussion/what I'm yet unsure of whether to set up Hail+AuroraVeil right away or not yet, depends whether/how much Seddi and Citrine benefit from it.

I can confirm that Seddi's team does not overly benefit from Hail directly, and the weather condition might have some negative synergy with Leaves and her Verdant Terrain (cold weather + greenery), but that's really only a major issue if Leaves has to come out and play in the first place.  Goodra might not be a big fan either due to being a Dragon.

Outside of Ceruledge's Fire type moves, Rain is the weather condition that Seddi's team currently benefits the most from, with some fringe cases for Sun.  Ice type moves are probably stronger overall against the Palossand though.  Goodra can set up Rain if desired, and in the event that Seddi has to use Leaves, Rain and Sun both have some synergy with her Verdant Terrain.

Rabsca can set up Light Screen and Reflect if he has enough time to do so, but it may not be as effective as an Aurora Veil from Zephy's movepool (we've seen Lani smash through a barrier created by Sylvia effortlessly.  Other Pseudo tier pokemon are likely capable of similar mechanical interactions)

An assassination/free stealth attack strike is likely to be less effective against a group with two leaders, but it may still be a viable tactic.  Chopping off one head may cause the other one to panic if we can do it quickly and efficiently.  It could also remove an obstacle to coordinating the weaker forces since the two are having some teamwork issues, but that's a bridge we'd cross when we get there I suppose.

Hmm... I take Citrine does also benefit from Rain, if it's set up (answer pending from Windos, after your nightshift is done). And I also take that Rain and then setting up Hail + Aurora Veil (or the other way round) has some positive interactions? What I kinda fear however is if I go for the combo of Hail+Aurora Veil now against the Groups, the Boss will find ways to break/nullify that combination. Currently leaning into not setting it up, but saving it for the actuall big Boss Fight when we're all together as one? Depends however how well we can pull off that Stealth attack, and what results from the information gathering of yours and the input/insight of my Water Scim companion.

So taking down one of the two leaders quickly, then focusing on the other is it, good good. I've noted that down. Should be possible if going straight to powerful spells and Equinox's Nuclear moves. 

Very good thinking of gathering information about that Masked Wolf and Sand Whale indeed!
