[WIN] Frozen Vault (Normal) - Texas Cloverleaf and waterwarrior

zarator · Feb 14, 2014

A rather narrow tunnel appears before you, completely covered in ice. As you travel through it, you can't shake the feeling that the tunnel is going up, but the slope must be really slight. The tunnel goes on, with several curves, until you reach the outside. A frigid wind blows throughout the white peaks, carrying thousands of snowflakes along. A thick blanket of snow covers the cliffs and bridges of ice connect the mountains with each other. You make your way across one of these cliffs, though slowed by incessant winds, until you reach an extremely narrow ice bridge. You wonder if it can withstand your weight, but after a careful attempt, it seems so. Luckily for you, an impenetrable mist hides the gulch below, else you might have turned back.

You finally reach another cliff, which after a few meters leads you to a cavern. But instead of the narrow tunnels you've encountered previously, you find yourself under a breathtaking vault, massive in scale and height. As you continue, looking around the mirror-like walls of ice, you suddenly notice a block of ice, which seems more... particular than the others. As you get near it, you realize it represents some kind of mythological creature, probably a deity or something. Below this odd sculpture, some strange writings may be seen, but you're clueless as to their meaning; they don't look like any language you recognize.

You decide it would be better to keep going, but without warning a quake afflicts the vault, sending fissures through the ice. You try to flee, but before you can do anything, the ice shatters beneath your feet, causing a precipitous fall. Fortunately, you land on soft snow. Still chilly and shuddering, you rise to see where you ended up. This place is much darker than the vault you were in before, though it appears the ice all around reflects the light coming from outside, making it somewhat easier for you to see. A closer look, however, seems to suggest that some of the ice crystal are glowing internally. "How is that even possible?", you wonder, but since you're not in the best position to study such a crystal, you start to think about how to get out. After some investigation, you find a wall where you can sense a feeble breeze. You realize it could be shattered to get to the other side, but... it looks like you're not alone!

Mollux the Blizzard blocker with the light screen y/n

Lucario: (Mega Evolve) High Jump Kick Weavile ~ Focus Blast Weavile
If Weavile is untargettable, Helping Hand Stratagem that action

Stratagem: Ancientpower Weavile ~ Paleo Wave Weavile
If Weavile is untargettable, target Froslass that action

waterwarrior · Feb 14, 2014

Eeyup. We're probably/maybe/definitely going to get smacked by one A1 due to Froslass being fast, but we'll bounce back.
EDIT: With the combined assaults of Strata, Luke, and Rev, we should deal about 180 DMG to Weavile in one round, plus whatever Eruption does, so we should be able to knock him down quickly then move onto Froslass. Mollux can easily take threat from Froslass, the worst it has to fear is 13.5 DMG from Psychic.

Ra's al Ghul: Revenge -> Brick Break (both Weavile)
If Weavile is untargetable, change that action to Phantom Force (Froslass)

Torch Slug: Light Screen (all but Torch Slug) -> Eruption

zarator · Feb 16, 2014

Texas Cloverleaf: Lucario's sub is invalid because the action and its substitute are not on the same priority tier. Please check ASB Raid Zone General Thread for further information.

Round 1

Weavile immediately sweeps towards the Stratagem, which retaliates with a globe of primal energy. Froslass strikes Torch Slug fiercely, but the team doesn't pay attention to her and focuses on the other enemy, while the Mollux shrugs off the damage and sets up a defensive barrier.

Suddenly, though, Weavile vanishes in the darkness, dodging Rob's globe of sheer force and Torch Slug's barrage of magma boulders. The same can't be said about Froslass, who finds herself under strong offense from the raid squad. Yet, she manages to pay back at the Mollux's itself, weakening her defenses in the process.

itt I forget how Raid bosses work

Well A1 we can't touch Weavile at all, but we should be able to slam it with all we got A2. We're making damn good progress, so why stop now?

Ra's: Shadow Punch (Froslass) -> Brick Break (Weavile)

Torch Slug: Flamethrower (Froslass) -> Heat Wave

You should probably do something like this:

Suggested actions for you said:
Lucario: Bullet Punch (Froslass) -> Hi Jump Kick (Weavile)
Stratagem: Ancient Power (Froslass) -> Paleo Wave (Weavile)

Also go buy Iron Tail and Flash Cannon for Luke y/y

Texas Cloverleaf · Feb 16, 2014

Works for me

Also damn HJK is stronk as fuck

Lucario: Bullet Punch (Froslass) -> Hi Jump Kick (Weavile)
Stratagem: Ancient Power (Froslass) -> Paleo Wave (Weavile)

Round 2

The team keeps hitting Froslass, while the foe retaliates with a barrage of dark globes aimed at the Revenankh, until Weavile finally reappears, maiming the Stratagem from the shadows. The ambush doesn't take the squad off guard, though, and all the raid members promptly switch their attention to the Dark-type weasel, ravaging it with powerful attacks that leave it on its knees.

With surprising agility, Weavile slips once again into the shadows, evading the team's attacks. However, this time the squad is well prepared for this possibility, and with the combined firepower of all raid members, it bows down Froslass with astonishing ease.

Finally you manage to clear the way and shatter the wall. A tunnel is revealed, which brings you back to the vault you were in before the floor collapsed. As you procede, you notice more of the ruins you spotted before. Most of them are damaged to the point you can't possibly understand what they were originally, but suddendly some drawings on the wall catch your attention. The first image shows the same mythological creature whose statue you saw before, in front of several humanoid figures which seem to pray towards the creature. The second image feature the deity (or sort of), surrounded by seven circles. Each of the circles is shaped with intricated patterns which probably have some meaning you don't manage to understand. The third image, the last one, shows a great building - a temple, or something like that - upon which the deity floats. Seven rays depart far away from him. You wonder what all this is about.

At the end of the halls, you find a hole, with large stairs made of pure ice going down. You descend through them, and suddendly you find yourselves staring in awe. A giant cavern, probably high over 50 meters and even more in width, extends below the vault. At the center of the cavern, a large spire of ice connects the soil with the ceiling above. You walk down the stairs until reaching the floor, and you get near the spire. More writings show up on it, similar to the ones you saw next to the sculpture of the deity. You try to read through them but, all of a sudden, the stale air of the cavern is disturbed by something. Your senses are keen enough to make you turn in time to see a beam of ice aimed at your position! You manage to dodge it barely, and meanwhile you spot a blue, feathered bird flying around the spire. After some seconds the bird tries to attack again, and you throw your Poké Ball in defense!

Texas Cloverleaf Just remember, you need to Megavolve Lucario again.

Alright, here comes the hard(er) part. Since Strata will be taking threat, Fly isn't that big a deal, but its still a possible pain in my side (maybe I should've brought a faster mon...).

If Articuno is untargetable when you would attack, change that action to Safeguard the first time and Chill the second

Round 1

The team begins attacking the legendary bird without holding back, but the vicious storm makes targetting it very difficult, due to its blurry plumage. Rob however manages to dodge Articuno's attacks with equal agility. The same can't be said for his team mates, who are caught up by the legendary bird's frigid blast of wind.

Round 2

The Stratagem's aim keeps being disappointing, but Rob and Torch pick up the slack and lay the hurt on the foe with their powerful attacks. Suddenly, though, Articuno shields itself in pure ice, becoming impervious to all attacks. At the same time, one of the drawings detatches from the spire and takes semblance of life!

This has gone well so far, minimal damage taken. We should be able to take the cryo no problem. Throw in a Chill with Mollux a1, we can afford it and he should keep his energies up.

Lucario: Hi Jump Kick (Cryogonal) ~ Close Combat (Cryogonal)
If Cryogonal is untargettable, Chill

Stratagem: Paleo Wave (Cryogonal) ~ Ancientpower (Cryogonal)
If Cryogonal is untargettable, Chill

waterwarrior · Feb 21, 2014

Sounds good to me! Beat that Cryogonal down!

Ra's: Brick Break -> Mach Punch (both Cryogonal)
Torch Slug: Chill -> Ember (Cryogonal)

Mach Punch should nab the KO, so Lucario saves a bit of EN and Cryo only gets off 1 attack. Smooth sailing so far, but we can't exactly get too comfortable...

zarator · Feb 22, 2014

Round 3

Cryogonal dashes towards Rob and hits it at blinding speed, but the team quickly destroys it with well aimed attacks. As soon as Cryogonal shatters in pieces, Articuno breaks from its shield and resumes the fight!
