Azu is a weird case where they're mutual counters. Yes, Falinx counters the auto crit, but Water Pulse (Or Water Pulse +!!) does such massive damage bouncing between the troopers.

Aegislash plays super well into fallinks, the sacred sword gets an additional boosted auto, and it's wide guard is likely to get hit giving sword a good matchup

falinks is surprisingly balanced in my opinion, it can be incredibly strong but it easily countered. One of my favorite recent releases

Ninetails is a fun counter for these guys, you freeze them a ton

Simply put anything that gets benefits off a move based on the number of targets hit is really good since you can get 6 hits at once easy off the troopers

What about D Pulse Goodra, Draining Kiss Clef, and Garchomp's lifesteal?

Confuse Ray Sableye. If you hit Falinks with the Confuse Ray, the Troopers will attack the Brass

I love the little guys and I have seen the fact the mean look can miss and it is ungodly entertaining

He counters my depression

I've noticed Perish Song from Lapras applies notes to the brass and troopers. I'm not sure if this will still result in the easy kill triggering when the brass is at low health while in column or No Retreat formation, but I'm sure it knocks out troopers easily in dispatch. Falinks is also kind of like that one Dota(?) character that clones itself, though I wouldn't mind getting a more proper likeness with say Maushold or Probopass.

Hawlucha for president

Went up against falinks the other day I was a tsareena let’s say it was my first 200k dmg plus game

Azu, specifically whirlpool azu, is a weird one here. Sure it doesnt crit anymore so damage isnt great, but the amount of healing it gets is absolutely insane. Me and a friend tested it out in practice once and it felt like a pulse goo vs pulse goo fight lol

some people say falink is broken but just because they do not see its weakness

Is it just me or I kinda want all the eeveelutions in Unite? Because, for SOME reason, the iconic 3: Vaporeon, Flareon and Jolteon aren’t in Unite

Nine tails litreally stops falinks from moving…….too much counters…..but lucario and venasaur I feel are the hardest…..avoiding them in fight is better even in team fights vena gets so much heal that it survives when it shudnt…it’s like u cost that team fight by being a health pack for vena……lol…..

For all the pokemon that will heal off falinks does cursed bangle become a useful item to reduce the heals? Do the effects of your items (muscle, curse, drain,etc.) activate when your troopers attack in beat up mode?

i really needed a counter for falinks as i don't have one myself

Talon flame 🔥

Shadow claw on mimikyu does. A bunch of damage to falinks as well but if you are in no retreat and a mimikyu hits a play rough you take no damage since the play rough hits one of your trooper in no retreat instead of you I had that happen to me twice playing as falinks in a standard match

Imo Blizzard Avalanche A9 is the hardest counter, over Venu. Each trooper has a freeze counter and they can chain procc and all stun in succession.

Gonma buy falinks as soon as it comes out

That giga drain healing is actually insane!

scizor is a massive falinks counter, its getting so much hp and defense boosting that falinks cant keep up

Most unique release (best release in that regard since the unique Hoopa release), but knowing Timi they might be testing the Overwatch model of balancing, which is a bad thing, as hard counters in general are just not a fun mechanic, just ask any Overwatch player... *"playing Overwatch is like being in a room filled with 80% chlorine gas"* -from well-made YT video essay "TF2's Sentry Guns Are 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘪𝘥" by SolarLight, et al. I suggest watching this video to learn more about why hopefully, this recent hard-counter-filled release is something that will not proliferate further (only the uniqueness is wanted more), if not the whole video, at least the last 2 sections: "Soft Counters Are Fun" & "Hard Counters Are Stupid (other kind)"

Meowscarada night slash healing is insane on falinks

If every trooper counts as an enemy, they should make Rocky Helm trigger multiple times. It would be nice to make all items somewhat viable.

Even if the crit damage is reduced, the healing you get from night slash is insane

I think the things I love most about this mon is that is a mini buff to Pokemon that counter it. Like I've loved espeed Lucario since launch, but not so long ago the newer mons make it kinda tricky to play. Ex, buzz, umbreon, A9, and clafairy 😬 that is just rough. So it's neat that since this guy coming out a handful of mon's moves become relevant again

Can you do a video on the passives in the game because I have no clue about most of them

Is chandelure and zard moves will burns each troops?

Also, delphox is an insane counter to falinks. I feel maybe beat up would be good for getting around the fire spins, but if you get caught in a fire spin, youre gonna get chained to death.

Can you make counter videos on other brokens also ? Will love to see that

I love your vid and you got new sub

From my experience razor leaf decidueye has a good match up. The leaves target falinks and the grunts while firing extremely fast.

Sword with Sacred Sword and Shield if connects it gives a lot of boosted attaks.

I feel like goodra should do well into it since every move should have some benefits but i haven't played enough against it to confirm

I've been mainlining falinks since it came out, I think it's the most balanced pokemon ever released. Also, beat up megahorn may be the best mobility I've ever felt on a pokemon, for disengaging, or rushing across the map to a fight

Curse tree with horn leech is great. You can shove them for days

Its trully a fun release and i cant wait to pick it up soon for coins, but I would be SHOCKED if they dont change the way Falinks interacts with other pokemon.

I have noticed that falinx also counters decidueye razor leaf build. The razor leaf move only targets the main head and does not targets the troopers. Also the crit reduction affects the arrow build.

Even though the crits are minimized, Water Pulse+ Azumarill is actually wild. It bounces over and over almost indifinitely, sort of makes up for the lost crits.

Falinks is a counter to Mr Mime with power swap because you can hit one of the trooper but doesn't apply the debuff. It's also a pretty bad combo as teamates because you can hit the troopers and don't buff and heal the brass

I think Del gets countered a bit by Falinks because fire spin would target a trooper in the line and I don’t think the brass can get caught if the line is fully extended.

gyro ball's shield caps out at 2 enemy player pokemon btw

Tree is a great counter if your playing horn leech curse

Ninetales blizzard looked ridiculous

Buzzwole superpower can grab the minions leaving the brass to continue on what it was doing

Just started back to climbing rank what is going on in the meta?

They should change a few thing on Falinks, no pokemon should have such glaring counters and SO MANY just because of his gimmnick. For instance, i think it's fine that Venu recovers from all the troops but it should be a much smaller % from them.

blizzard ninetales permastuns falinks cuz of how ninetales passive works

The only reason why I'm not a falinks main is literally just because of venusaur. Not everyone knows how to play lucario or talonflame. Venusaur on the other hand is available for free, easy to play and destroys falinks harder than any of the other ones. I do play it if I don't get draft matches, but seeing as everytime I played falinks in draft the enemy instantly picked venusaur, I can't really be a falinks main.

Doesn't Hyper Voice Sylveon kind of counter Falinks from Level 7 on when it gets Spell Vamp

I don't love Falinks but I haven't played him much. Does anyone think he could get a buff or have 3 or 4 troopers with hit boxes instead of 5?

thanks❤❤❤❤

Chadalure Flamethrower really melts Falinks and gets Infiltrater stacks.

Maybe Cleffable draining kiss can easily counter him?

Hi Sir, Pls make a video on broken "Lapras" with bubble blast and perish song moveset...

Can you do a video on decidueye I like him a lot but I feel I'm using him to his full potential yet

I think Azumarill gets counterd hard by Failinks. It is almost impossible to crit with Azu because you always hit multiple targets. One of the few Pokemon who can beat Azu in a 1vs1 melee fight.

Garchomp can finally hit with its Unite move 🤣

Is it balanced if half of the roster in unite counters falinks? 😅

I just watched your streem

Firespin Delphox is very odd against falinks

It's a little bit trolling tbh but same way venusaur giga drain work, draining kiss clefable is un killable 👍

Can the troopers eat a Slowbro unite? or Charizard's?

Flamethrower Chandelure and Future sight Garde get EASY resets on it

dragon pulse dura?

...does Extreme Speed do damage?

I can't believe agislash is counter for farlinks I really destroyed farlinks

Ninetales passive, constant freeze

Anine just insta freezes falinks, its actually painful

Zoroark should be pretty good against it, regardless of which move you pick, since it needs to hit something to continue its combos.

Dragon pulse Goodra counter Falink a bit

sebi confusion. it only work on dispatch

i think urshifu water thing can counter it

Is this my sign to play talon again??

I love using Alonan ninetales against falinks so make... I wanna make em regret spending money 😍

Lucario close combat?

Failings definitely counter interleon

Ninetails can perma freeze Falinx

Why lucario is not doing dammage

Lucario: extreme speed What I see: does no damage

Ive been playing quite a bit of falinks and im not entirely sure on the specifics of the interactions but sing wiggly and blizzard a9 have been very annoying

SD Scizor does really well, better that tsareena

Blaziken or falinks which one to get first?!

time for mewtwo

Huh it sounds like now he has more counters that kills him then the other way around. I really hate the infinite healing counters those should not exist its comfey all over again.

Discharge zera

Blizzard avalanche A9

Yee

But falinks is premium 😢😢

Guys! We are a New Pokemon Unite content creator from Bangladesh!🇧🇩 Please show us some support guys! We do tier lists too!

A9

First

Another big counter to falinks is ninetales also absol counters no retreat megahorn falinks quite good. Some Pokemon falinks can soft counter are gengar(dream ball) and mimikyu(playrough)

Made the "same" video a month ago 😅 I still think Buzzwole is a counter!

If the troopers count as other players, the achivements also count? I cant do that bc i have already have all of them but, it is possible??
