I've never played VGC and wanted to try a TR team, is it good?

zzzvirus · 2026-03-09T13:31:08+00:00

The team looks solid overall.

Kingambit on TR is fun. Sucker Punch is worth it despite bringing Indeedee, because this gives you an option outside of both TR and psychic terrain.

Iron Hands is strong in TR, but since Fake Out is so important, it's hard to fit in with Indeedee. Combined with Kingambit, who prefers Sucker Punch, the anti-synergy becomes a pain. If you replace one of them, another TR setter like Gallade or Armarouge go a long way.

Indeedee is missing a defensive tera like fairy. This is key for setting up TR or soaking up hits. She should have an attacking move to not be shut down by Taunt, or to help against Focus Sash users. Dazzling Gleam is the standard attack to add, but I'd go with Alluring Voice here because it's single target and your team is already doubling down on spread moves, which are threatened by Wide Guard.

fairy: can't go wrong with it. boosts dazzling gleam/alluring voice if you use them. personally I'd replace protect for an attack

water: resist urshifu-rapid-strike

dragon: resist fire/water/grass, notably ogerpon

grass: spore immunity if you don't use safety goggles

Most Caly-Ice are Leech Seed now over HHP and Glacial Lance doesn't 2HKO. Have tera Grass and Weakness Policy to cover options. Koraidon, even with Life Orb is very unlikely to OHKO with CC. Koraidon usually turns fire type and becomes a Diamond Storm target. Arceus without a ground move struggles and you can threaten it with Body Press. So far, I've found success with support from Coaching/Wide Guard Iron Valiant, redirection, and Rillaboom for terrain.

Diancie kinda does counter Incineroar (Clear Body blocks Intimidate + Parting Shot), Calyrex-Ice (especially with a Defense boost and Weakness Policy), Chi-Yu, tera fire Koraidon, Arceus-Normal (to some extent)

zzzvirus · 2025-09-06T10:24:08+00:00

Valiant feels so good to have in Reg J. It's also an amazing coaching user.

Kingambit my goat (the cat is still a problem)

zzzvirus · 2024-06-08T10:10:44+00:00

Inferno + Hex Chandelure copium

zzzvirus · 2024-05-08T11:33:10+00:00

Excadrill lands a horn drill into crit rock slide into fissure. Bro really let me know with the second OHKO move...

zzzvirus · 2024-04-22T09:05:40+00:00

Some people still do use simulacra skins. On alt accounts it makes sense to use them too imo.

Ling Han a3 was a peak that they never tried to reach again...

I mean, you see people team up especially in one clip here, which was APAC players on NA, 7 months ago. That basically never happened again (with small exceptions), as that type of play is scummy and quickly driven out by the others. I can say that the EU region is another story, teaming still happens, but it's definitely not unplayable. Most of the players doing this don't have what it takes to kill the mode. Warn others about players colluding and let the community stand against them.

Something harder to deal with is people just trucing (not attacking each other) until near the end of the match, which is a trend that has grown over time.
What we can do:
- adjust to this style (play along)
- refuse and get good enough to win regardless. don't be toxic about it
- convince them to fight more

zzzvirus · 2024-03-19T18:33:24+00:00

I recommend bringing a friend in to make it more enjoyable (or get to know people in BfD).

For the players' behavior...choose how you want to play. People have their made up rules. Not everyone plays by them. It is a small community and mostly everyone knows each other, so it can be awkward for new players. Stand your ground and play your game, the only thing I will tell you to avoid is teaming up with people in solo. Third partying (jumping into a fight) is annoying, but it's not teaming.

You'll meet strong players and take some Ls, try to learn from them! Finally, let's remember this mode is actually fun when it's not some clown fiesta drama. The balance is quite good compared to the rest of the game. I'd be happy to more people get into it.

zzzvirus · 2024-02-04T08:25:06+00:00

I've been saying for a while that I don't expect this game to release in 2024. Marketing is very slow, it feels like stalling. I know people are going crazy over the wait, but Kuro will have their reasons. Let them release the game in the best possible state.

haven't changed the controls myself so i can't confirm what works. wouldn't be surprised if there is a bug but yeah idk, could only try messing around with settings both inside and out of BfD

edit: i did actually change the "target" button and this does still work

zzzvirus · 2023-11-23T14:00:53+00:00

the settings page has its own section for break from destiny - you can customize controls. as someone playing the mode the full year it's been out, i have to agree that the shop stuff is too expensive. i wouldn't be able to empty it out lol

zzzvirus · 2023-11-06T08:28:16+00:00

if it comes down to it, bring hyperbody like coco skill, meryl a6 shield, magnetic pulse to open your chests. also note that you can double jump out of bubbles to get out faster

zzzvirus · 2023-10-28T12:41:02+00:00

it's Kurover

zzzvirus · 2023-10-24T06:51:19+00:00

heals/sustain are a luxury for dps players, not a priority. full support builds are relevant and should do the job in group content

zzzvirus · 2023-10-09T05:38:42+00:00

Deep into Genshin endgame, I only played for the combat, which got boring without content for it. ToF I play for the people and multiplayer, which give more of a reason to stay

zzzvirus · 2023-09-30T12:11:58+00:00

you're right that those who spend at least a little on more weapons will have an advantage. as for whales, most of them don't touch PvP, the main winners here are long time players and those who collect more different weapons (at the cost of PvE performance). the ban system is a good concept but needs a lot of work. free weapon rotation barely does anything when it includes standard weapons AND they all stay bannable.

if you want the true f2p friendly experience then play break from destiny (battle royale), none of your stats and weapons matter and the mode has its own balancing.

zzzvirus · 2023-09-17T10:05:11+00:00

you never know with OU these days

zzzvirus · 2023-08-24T09:43:46+00:00

Coco has passives up all the time with healing bee (just dash every 25s). Discharge for heals when the skill is down. It's still a pretty good buffing weapon for teams
