[WIN] Frozen Vault (Normal) – ZhengTann and GemOftheDay

Round 3

The frosty snowflake is dented, bruised, and punched beyond all recognition in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, that was more than enough time for it to get off another howling gale of frost and wind, tearing through your team and dealing minimal damage. Next.

Lesson learned: Next time a Cryo spawns, change Gray's attack to Bullet Punch. Two Stone Edges and a Rock Blast while Coracier shields Esponce, Gray and Pantherlily with Safeguard, then everybody Chills while Gray and Pantherlily nudges Articuno over. Coracier especially needs to Chill - things might go south because we're going to end up against Articuno right when TR and Gravity expires

Round 4

While Coracier erects another set of defensive barriers around its three teammates, they continue to batter the Articuno with powerful attacks. Pantherlily imitates a machine gun and launches several rocks in rapid succession, managing to deal a tremendous amount of damage to the icy bird. The Articuno strikes Pantherlily with its powerful tail, but then quickly retreats back behind a shield of pure ice as another frozen snowflake detaches from the spire and floats down.

Oh wait I was mistaken, we get to refresh TR and Gravity this round. Okay so Gray will use Heal Pulse while Coracier patches up in that order, then we'll finished hammering the second Cryogonal at A2.

"How many of these ice runes are dormant here?"

<"Attendants to Articuno, or something else entirely? Hmm...">

Gray (Lucario w/ Lucarionite): Heal Pulse (Pantherlily-Armaldo) > Metal Claw (Cryogonal)

Pantherlily (Armaldo w/ Claw Fossil): Stone Edge > Rock Blast , both @ Cryogonal
 
Round 5

As Coracier sets up the faltering environmental effects, the rest of the team goes to town on the Cryogonal. With help from Gray, Pantherlily ends the round healthier than before and seems to be ready to take on the Articuno, who explodes out from the frozen barrier as soon as the Cryogonal drops.

I think Pantherlily should survive this one round. Let's rinse and repeat. After the final Cryogonal, though, we may need Esponce to Taunt.

Pantherlily (Armaldo w/ Claw Fossil): Stone Edge > Iron Tail , both @ Articuno
 
Round 6

The raid squad continues to batter the Articuno, and – to great surprise for everybody present – the Articuno quickly erects a frost shield that shields itself from all possible harm. Naturally, another strange floating snowflake makes its way down to the bottom of the cave, ready to take out (or more likely die quickly to) these team members.

Oka-ay, we're going to have to slow down a little. Very little. Bronzong needs to Chill, first of all, and Esponce will have to Heal Pulse on Pantherlily since Gray might be too slow. Then all we have to do is crack that last Cryogonal before it can release a second attack, and we'll be fine I think. Also Engi don't forget that Articuno has 111 HP instead of 248.

Round 7

Again, the Cryogonal is quickly dispatched by a barrage of powerful attacks. The Articuno shatters the shield of ice, and the fight resumes!

Round 8

Weakened greatly, the Articuno perseveres and blasts Pantherlily with a beam of pure ice, but it is simply not strong enough to withstand the team's combined strikes. With a cry, the icy bird flies up to the peak of the spire, out of sight.
