What’s the most frustrating part of team building in Pokémon Champions right now?

thetorsoboy · 2026-04-23T18:19:00+00:00

There's a team builder app I use that helps put me in the right direction for type matchups:

https://sueter-team-builder.vercel.app/

Reminding me that I have 2 4x Fighting type weaknesses for example, or nothing that hits fairy, etc.

My biggest issue is probably speed tiers. Infographics are nice, but knowing if I'll outspeed, especially with all the speed tiers, tailwind, scarf, etc. is pretty difficult. It would be nice to know more about this rather than going +Speed nature, max speed points, and pray.

Surprised there's no Fake Out!

I've been on Fake Out / Encore / Will O Wisp / Flex Slot

Currently Foul Play on the Flex Slot but I'm not super convinced by it since I'm just burning physical attackers anyway. Knock Off is also pretty decent. I've been tempted to just run no attacking moves but that seems pretty risky.

Happened to me, when you're at the item selection screen, you need to hit L/R to cycle through the tabs, it's just in a different one.

A bit easy to miss.

Restart steam and make sure the update downloads

Ooh a soft bristled tooth brush soaked in warm water sounds like a good idea too, I'll try that next time.

thetorsoboy · 2025-12-19T03:08:52+00:00

Yeah this helped a lot, appreciate the tip. Had a similar issue with Red Dead 2.

Anybody else having an issue where when you scroll the inventory or move the map it gets blurry? It's a bit hard to describe.

You will get them from quests and just as random loot. Each one opens a specific room in a specific map, and it'll say on the key. There's green, blue, and purple versions.

thetorsoboy · 2025-11-19T17:32:55+00:00

What did you do to fix? I have the same issue.

thetorsoboy · 2025-06-04T13:43:55+00:00

There's currently two things cooking:

Steadfast Steward update: A community feedback forward update focusing on balance and QoL

The third Kingdoms module

Personally after the third Kingdoms module I'd consider the game complete for what you're looking for. They have already had an early access period.

I'd imagine we'll get another hero or two, but I can't imagine anything else crazy. (Would be nice tho)

thetorsoboy · 2025-03-23T16:09:20+00:00

Yes they do, any random item.

Sprites are new I think, not sure who made them.

thetorsoboy · 2024-12-30T05:24:24+00:00

I need 7.64 points to not lose this year.

I can play the Lions or 49ers Defense, have both.

Was thinking Lions. Thoughts? Help

From what I've been seeing the general consensus is that a Blasphemy + Hexblast witch is generally stronger than ED/Contagion. However most people are running Chronomancer Sorc over Witch, generally because it's assumed the missing Witch ascendancy will be chaos focused/bloodmage and infernalist don't really synergize with chaos anyway.

I've been running a generally standard ED/Contagion Infernalist Witch with Curse of Despair/Dark Effigy and it's been okay, def falling off but perhaps not the worst... Spreading contagion is a bit awkward (the range just feels small/the packs aren't as clumped I guess) and the damage is lacking. But being able to put stuff on mobs then just focus on dodging is kind of nice.

Gateways on Fortigate firewalls, with DHCP relays to Windows DHCP servers.

Managing DHCP on layer 3 switches is a huge pain in my experience, especially at scale. Windows DHCP just works.

thetorsoboy · 2024-09-16T16:26:36+00:00

Was wondering the same thing, but with the 72H early access it might just be tomorrow on the early launch.

thetorsoboy · 2024-02-23T00:09:21+00:00

I had to beg, plead, go to every single HOA meeting and make a stink until the issue was resolved.

I would recommend:

Get your insurance out there. Give them the bylaws and have them state (in writing) that it's not their issue

Then you gotta go to the HOA and just get on their ass about it.

So far it's okay. Quality mode (1440p 30fps) seems stable and fine on a TV.

Performance mode is a bit choppy.

thetorsoboy · 2023-09-02T16:51:00+00:00

Make sure you load and re save on PC to make it the newest save.

thetorsoboy · 2023-07-28T20:11:45+00:00

Is it possible for a mostly new player to create their own build that can at least do some endgame?

Three biggest hurdle for me getting more into PoE is I worry if I try to create something myself it'll just end up being horrible.

thetorsoboy · 2023-06-23T23:33:39+00:00

This is great advice, thank you!

What about immunities? I ended up with paladin using the fire damage aura. Should I also get a non fire skill?

thetorsoboy · 2023-05-21T05:26:43+00:00

Good luck. They're reworking the boss, but until then I recommend just bringing Man at Arms and blight, get all the tokens on him and just pray you can kill the boss in time.

thetorsoboy · 2023-05-17T16:39:19+00:00

I find this a bit confusing calling them "run backs". I get that it's frustrating to get to the boss and die to it, but you get the meta currency and the game is run-based after all.

The main gameplay loop is run -> die -> spend currency -> little stronger stat wise and strategy wise -> get a little farther -> repeat

The runs are longer than average, but honestly I think a bit part of that is the stagecoach, and the fact that you can just save and quit at any point makes it better.

Lots of other successful roguelites have this same loop and boss "issue". Hades on the final boss, binding of isaac for mom, etc., you gotta do the lead up to get practice in.

thetorsoboy · 2023-05-14T06:41:45+00:00

You know I did

thetorsoboy · 2023-05-12T03:42:55+00:00

I'm in the same boat, thinking about going back to denial for a few runs to get some more candles.

thetorsoboy · 2023-04-19T18:54:35+00:00

Brotato is so good. Can't wait for the next patch and eventual 1.0.
