Special Questions for Trials of Shadows
There are a number of healer options available for this trial (Sabina, Lady of the Lake, Brynhild Costumed Vivica & Costumed Hawkmoon). Did you bring any of them along?
How did you deal with Boss Scarlett and Skittleskull’s attack debuffs? Some possible options include Antidotes, using Rogue Khiona to overwrite the debuffs, using Sorcerer Mitsuko for mana control, using Sorcerer Ameonna to shed to status effects on herself, using Rogues Inari or Margaret to dodge the specials, using Rogue Peters to silence, or using Rogue Costumed Tyrum to clear the ailments.

Used two arrow attacks and three small antidotes in the final stage against the bosses and I will use the Trainer Hero for Fenrir who is in his last tier
was fun, now on to Wonderland
Did it with:
Cheshire Cat +19
Guardian Jackal +20
Sif 4/57
Sorcerer Supreme Vivica +3
Natalya +5
Yeah, wasn’t hard. Did not use even any items this time. It helped I have three holy heroes in stage where considerable number of enemies is dark. Sif’s special is great here and helped Jackal survive.
First Shadow Trials where I removed Inari (she’s not that helpful fighting monsters anyway) and took Brynhild as the first real healer I have for these rogue trials.
So the team was Scarlett - Marjana - Brynhild - Mitsuko - Morgan la Fay
I only used one potent healing potion to ensure Brynhild does not die on a crucial moment before charging (turned out not necessary as someone else took the hit). Final stage Scarlett went down to bosses at some point, but the rest made it through with no scratch. Easy.
Last time Skittle was 3/60, this time he is max with a few emblems.
I used a few Dragon attacks on this because I got a little paranoid, but otherwise it was easy enough.
Rogue Li Xiu makes her debut on my Trials team! She replaces Skittleskull.
Another of the Trials where I do NOT have to nuke the bosses, thanks to Sabina’s heal + Inari’s dodge + the Rogue talents. Li’s mana cut helps too. I only needed a mana potion for Sabina, to heal at a critical moment.
Emblems - for Sorceror, haven’t decided yet, Sabsy is already at +20 and Skittles is comfy at +6, plus I don’t use her that much anymore. For Rogue, will probably save them for Marjana as she features on my raid defense team.
forgot to take a screenshot of the actual battle because, like with many things, I multi-task…
Same team as last time; Domitia and Ameonna each up one talent. I don’t love running 3-2 in this trial, especially when the 3 are weak to a boss. Some of the discussions about Norns have me thinking of leveling them for sorcerer trials. Making purple bosses weak to tiles from a +19 Ameonna sounds fun. But Vivica and Kvasir are ahead of them in yellow, at the moment.
Mob waves were ho-hum. Did pop a red diamond I hoped to save for the boss wave, so that was no fun. Boss wave started out pretty well, but holy cow, the off-color diamonds! At one point, I had diamonds in all three off colors on the board at the same time. It was insane. Popped two of those at once, which allowed all three bosses to fire on the same turn. Kelile didn’t survive that. Thank goodness Ameonna was ghosted. Seemed like I was unable to charge either Scarlett or Sabina to help survivability, so I burned through potions pretty quickly and also used a lot of antidotes. Things got a little better when Boss Skittles died, but the off colors kept on coming, and Scarlett and Ameonna both fell before I could take down Boss Scarlett or Boss Domitia. Out of potions, I used a dragon and a bomb to take down Boss Scarlett. Item usage would have been a lot heavier, but for once, my Domitia’s evade talent was on, dodging two would-be mortal attacks in the waning moments of the fight. I only used one more bomb for the rest of the fight, so considering the circumstances, it could have gone worse.
Not enough rogue emblems for Domitia to step up a talent. Sorcerer emblems go to Skittleskull, taking her to +2. Now that I have her costume, I may give her another look at some point, especially in cleric trials, where I need a little more firepower. Trainer hero goes to Sonya’s costume.
Emblem Soccerer, finally Ursena is maxed yesterday, and I’m carefully using emblem because of ham. Rogue I think I keep for a while, maybe for Brynhild after max, let see.
Trainer keep for a while, no blue project currently 2nd Sonya at 2nd tier.
I think I forgot to post last time. In any case, I shifted the team around and swapped +20 G. Jackal for Kelile. No real issues getting through the trial. Used a few items to soften up the bunch, like I usually do.
Same team as last time, just few more emblems in Alice. Went very smoothly, no items needed, Trainer saved, rogue emblems brought Alice one node up, sorcerer emblems saved for next node for my freshly ascended Morgan.
Took with me:
Sabina +11 - Hawkmoon (C) - Brynhild +4 - Scarlett +19 - Kelile +7
Did not need to use any battle items. Kelile died really fast in the last wave, Hawkmoon lasted until Skittleskull and Domitia were close to dead. I would say Brynhild made a great addition to my team this time around. 10/10 would recommend her!
