Pokémon Masters EX: Arc Lance vs Noland Ultimate Battle

This is the first of a few videos coming. As you know, my time is being very limited, but Lance has been really lacking on results due to a lot of talented players not getting him. I'm posting this one first since I had already recorded it (even before my Evelyn video) and because I find it one of the more fun ones. Lance's signature cookie is Initial Guard, which is very clutch for Noland as we all know, while Zerena can bring her own Sync Damage Guard to keep up the protection for later - Raihan is enabling their damage stacking so that I get the thresholds at the right time (particularly important for using B Hyper Beam post-50%) and Max Guard Lance. One thing that I feel that needs to be noted is that Lance is not particularly great at playing fast - yes, he does have high midburst, but he still has to set up each opponent individually, and often will fail to clear the sides, as well as lacking Sync Acceleration. On the other hand, his durability is absolutely fantastic - easily the most durable offensive unit in the game. While NC Nate is a good partner, I think he shines best when not trying to rush things - support him with NC Blue or Arc Steven while letting Zerena or Lucas soften up the sides, with Lucas obviously providing a Dragon Zone while Zerena enhances even more the durability aspect of the team and constantly hitting AoE.

I have arc metagross but for me anniversary was pre anni ( g zapdps e g moltres).
I play since day one and this anniversary is the worst.
Kits of these sync pairs are incredibles but pity 500, low count of gems ..
However i'm in hype for your tier list ( with spark).
When will it be updated?

@silviotaverniti5007 yeah, the kits are decent (although I didn't feel they were too creative, just very strong), but the content itself has been lacking. 2nd anni didn't bring much content in terms of mechanics like 1st, 3rd, and 4th did, but had an absolutely fantastic lineup of pairs - this one, I honestly felt like only SS Lear had real effort put onto, and he's not even on the main lineup. The list is basically done and should be up very soon on this week!

Was expecting dnite to nuke machamp with 3 rebuffed buddy move but this is out of box

@@mrstrange1062 I honestly wanted to, but, without delaying Zerena's sync, I was one rotation short for the next one, sadly (but at least I felt the actual result qas pretty fun haha)

That's one way to use Anni Raihan. Must say this was very good

[@rohilsatam5452]
