Welp Zinnia is back and it merits a couple showcases for people unfamiliar with her. I did max out Zinnia the first time her event ran and even at 5/5 20/20 I feel she... underperforms.

Zinnia got a massive boost in viability thanks to Lyra because she can activate Weather Surge, provide crit and shield Rayquaza from special syncs. I'd still pick Hilda as a Sun striker any day of the week but Zinnia is a lot better as a byproduct of Lyra's grid.

Between Outrage and Draco Meteor, the latter outputs better DPS and Zinnia's Trainer Move fixes Draco Meteor accuracy. Optimally Zinnia wants Dauntless to upkeep her stats but the Lucky Skill has been avoiding me so I'm stuck with Vigilance Rayquaza. If you can't get Dauntless then Clearheaded is better to use Outrage risk-free, but I had no luck with that either.

While I could've used SS Blue for an easy pass through the fight I wanted a lineup that focused on Sun. SS Leaf compliments the team with massive bulk (+84 HP from Type Skills), tons of healing and additional DPS. This battle was tricky because I had no means of buffing my defenses and it left the party wide open at the third health bar after Latios spams AoE debuffs, so I just have to hope I can squeeze enough attacks before everyone faints.

The latest meme is auto-ing Legendary Arena but I'll probably stray away from that. That's moreso a teambuilding challenge than a test of your ability.
