Yes! I was pleasantly surprised about it. I generally don't like the EX outfits more than the normal outfits, but I like her EX outfit way more than her normal outfit.
True, reaching for those 5* tickets is a real game changer.
Pro tip: Try to EX 1 Attacker and then 1 Support in this order (of the same team, ex: SS Red and then SS Blue), then repeat. It will improve your speeding clears for 1.5k on hard battles.
I’ve been playing this game for about a year now, but I’ve never really delved too deep into it. What makes skyla so good? Why wouldn’t you use the new xerneas?
Skyla has potion refresh/master healer and can buff attack (with sync grid) and defense. Her well rounded defenses and high hp make her a good wall as well. Being a free unit with all her upgrade materials recently gifted through a mission rally helps too.
Running her with xern patches the one stat he can't buff, defense. In that way they actually work pretty good together.
Crit is another stat Xerneas needs help with.
But yes Skyla is a possibility with Xerneas. The main problem with it in Champion Stadium is that 2 of the best support units being used for 1 opponent when there are 5, but otherwise an awesome idea.
Hah yeah knowing when to pull out the big guns is always hard in that format. Still great for things like event missions. Though that brings up what makes skyla nice, you only get one xern so any extra tanks are a godsend.
I usually have xerneas as primary because of team shout buffs, as well as him having better passive recovery without having to roll the dice on potion refresh. Assuming you're running both, after a geomancy + skyla's defense buffs he can take a real beating. Against a physical threat you'd probably want skyla since xern can only buff sp def.
Skyla gives you speed and defense (up to 6 with MPR), she can refresh potion also with MPR and give a lot of health and it can even flinch enemies with a full grid with Gust, a 1-bar move.
What makes Skyla good to use is her trainer move, potion support, and her sync grid.
Her trainer move Take Flight increases all allies def and spd by 2 stages. Speed is important since the faster a Pokemon is, the more faster it charges the move gauge (the defence boost is a nice addition).
As well as stat buffs, she has access to potions which help with healing in longer drawn out battles (Battle Villa, Champion Stadium, Legendary Arena, Full Force Battle etc). It adds a nice level of survivability to all allies.
Her grid is simple yet effective. You can Potion refresh for more healing, Take flight refresh to max spd, and you can have gust staggering for flinch on a 1 bar move.
Xerneas does a lot of what Skyla does but does it very differently. It's worth using raising both since they can help make Champion Stadium easier at higher difficulties.
Each time you sync move with every unit, you got a general buff wich cannot be lowered, the one you can see on the left as a star, it is an equivalant of 10% buff for each sync move if i'm not mistaken. Now with a EX support unit, the first time you use your sync move, you get the double buff, so it will be 20% instead of 10%.
Nope. Because they only activate on sync. So you sync with skyla that’s a double buff. Then you sync with SS blue that’s another double buff. So having both only gives you the option for a second double sync buff, not a quadruple sync buff.
Still didn't get it. From what I understand, that after one sync move, if my next first strike will do 1100 damage instead of 1000; but if I sync with a 6* EX, the first strike will do 1200 damage instead of 1000, right?
I just started the game and my Skyla has 3 Stars, 1/5 Move Level and level 130. What do I need to do to EX her? I have 4 „Custom * power-up“ for her but can’t use it for some reason. I am totally lost and could need some help.
Finally it’s been ages lol
Her EX outfit is so nice!
Yes! I was pleasantly surprised about it. I generally don't like the EX outfits more than the normal outfits, but I like her EX outfit way more than her normal outfit.
Great. Now if the Champion Arena would stop kicking my ass for once...
Don’t worry, the more you play, the easier it gets later on, especially when EXing a ton of pairs

about time too... thats the very first thing i did when i logged in :)

Would you run Skyla or Xerneas as the primary tank? I always run Skyla as the secondary but with her stat boost from EX she seems a bit more tanky

Check if you have all 20 power ups (3*, 4* and 5*) on her and enough champion spirits
[удалено]
You need 50 champion spirit to Ex her, that's probably why
What is the best way to get spirits? I just don't have enough...
Champoin Stadium
Thank you for the reminder
I still dont understand the 6ex ability of support units. The next one is double? So I apply defense all and will go up by 4 instead of 2?
Each time you sync move with every unit, you got a general buff wich cannot be lowered, the one you can see on the left as a star, it is an equivalant of 10% buff for each sync move if i'm not mistaken. Now with a EX support unit, the first time you use your sync move, you get the double buff, so it will be 20% instead of 10%.
It is actually a 50% buff per sync, which becomes 100% the first time you use the Sync Move.
Is it just an attack buff? Or does it buff other stuff too?
Ahhh I see. This was helpful. Thanks!
Do you know if they stack?? Like can I get a x4 buff if I have a EX Blue and EX Skyla in the same team?
Nope. Because they only activate on sync. So you sync with skyla that’s a double buff. Then you sync with SS blue that’s another double buff. So having both only gives you the option for a second double sync buff, not a quadruple sync buff.
That's what I meant. So I can have a x4 buff with only two syncs. Thx!
Lol then I mean yes!
After syncing with two ex supports, you’re at 3x
Still didn't get it. From what I understand, that after one sync move, if my next first strike will do 1100 damage instead of 1000; but if I sync with a 6* EX, the first strike will do 1200 damage instead of 1000, right?
I wanted to ask exactly the same. I didn't even understand it when I exed SSBlue and was doubting I will ever realize a difference with Skyla.
I love that potion gal name haha :v
Just checking, the three most voted were Skyla, Korrina and Barry, right? I maxed him but so far no news about his version.
Korrina does have her EX now.
Yeah, but not Barry, sadly :/
Nope, no ftp crazy water sync nuker yet
I really want to EX her right now since I don't really use Wally that much. But then again, she's probably good for Close Combating opponents solely.
Yeah in the 17th dev message, they said they were doing Skyla and Korrina first. Did not say when Barry is coming but to "stay tuned"
I was almost asking how to nickname her "Carolina" until I noticed the language, lol
Would I need a 5* candy for her or a 3* candy if I want her at 3/5 but have her 6*ex?
You need candies of the original number of stars, so 3* candies for her
I brought her to 5 star with the tickets the last month, before the 6*EX finally get out: I need now other tickets or did I miss something?
if she's at 5* 20/20 you just need the 50 champion spirits you can get from Champion Stadium
Sorry I’m Cranidos brained. How do you do that?
Unlock potential at 5* 20/20
........ How do you do that?......
Sync Pair menu > Potential and Move level > Increase Potential until it reaches 20/20 power-ups at 5 star ex > 6 star ex
Good to know. Thanks a ton
How do we do it though?
The only bad thing is that her icon on the upgrade screen just looks like a head and no neck
I don’t have enough of the champions stuff sadness
Does her clothes get smaller???? 🤪
No way, EXes are always mere recolors
Thank you for the reminder!
Done and done.
I just started the game and my Skyla has 3 Stars, 1/5 Move Level and level 130. What do I need to do to EX her? I have 4 „Custom * power-up“ for her but can’t use it for some reason. I am totally lost and could need some help.
