Thatās the team and items I used. I struggled more because of bad boards and lack of firepower. Iām hoping to get Lianna maxed by the next Ranger Trials

Went with Triton 4.70, Lianna 4.80+3, Cyprian 4.70, Khagan 3.65, Thorne 4.23.
Used 2 mana pots, 3 potent healing, 2 time stops, & 3 bombs. I shouldāve just brought average healing also and wouldnāt have needed the time stops but oh well, it worked.
As far as differences, I believe Lianna & Thorne were @ 3.70 last time and I used Chao instead of Cyprian so needless to say this was much easier than last time which took 5 potent healing and most or all of bombs, dragons and time stops.
Prob use blue trainer on Thorne (I know but heās who I have) and may try to beef him up a bit for a temporary tank with the emblems as well. Can always reset when better becomes available. Ranger emblems are all being saved for Lianna-hope to make her Godly eventually.

This is one of my strongest class quests because I have an overabundance of great paladins.
Me last time, though Richard was 3/70 then:
Me this time. I decided to swap out Triton for Cyprian due to the v20 buff which was nice for stage 2 and pretty useful for stage 3. Itās dicey with Ranger pierce, but watching Richard lose giant chunks of hp was quite satisfying. No SS of the team, but youāll see it from the following pics.
Hereās me going in:
Man they did NOT like Hood this timeā¦
Ares too? Geez!
HAH! Screw you, Chao!
Also ss of Chaoās hp:
Iād say it was easier than last time because Richard is on his final ascension now which helped a lot. Cyprian is better than a 3/60 Triton for me because heās not a color weak or neutral to the enemy color. You can see from item usage that I didnāt need much for this one.

So, I decided to risk it. Triton 1/1 and Gunnar 1/1 didnāt make it through the first waveā¦ But the other three held the line up to the fourth wave, where they finally died, with the mobs very close to going. Since I had the dragons and bombs (and two axes) left, I decided to pony up the 75 gems. With a full team, I easily completed the fourth wave, and the items had everyone down to needing one good hit. Two specials had charged by that time, so one set of blue tiles got me through. Result: Triton is at +7. And Sonya picked up 3 levels from the trainer.

Congrats on the victory! Iām sure it wonāt be long before you can make it through without the gem continue. 
And I know where those gems came from. 
Itās done, like a bag of chips! Hereās the team I used to complete all three stages:
Changes since last time: 3-21 Frida replaced 3-25 Sonya
Items used: 10 Healing Potions (225hp each), 5 axes, 5 bombs, 3 dragons
With this team, the first two stages were very easy, then I had to burn all 10 potions getting through the minion levels of the third stage. My team was really low on health for the bosses, so I played it safe and nuked them probably a little more than I had to.

My team last time.
My team this time. Iām pretty sure i finished last time?
I only used my 10 mana pots and 5 axes. But, thats because without much healing power, i wanted to make sure i beat it! I was trying to only use the health pots! It definitely felt like a more difficult battle, but i totally carpet bombed last time.

Forgot to grab a screenshot of my team. I had Guardian Falcon 4.70, Triton 4.70, Chao 4.70, Evelyn 3.70, and Frida 3.70 (DEBUFFERS UNITE!)
Last time Chao was more like 4.50 and Sonya 4.70 was in for Frida. An earlier (first?) clear also featured Cyprian 3.60; if I ever get around to leveling him, he will likely return.
I used minor healing pots to keep the team up, usually while Tritonās buff was active. Other craft brought was axes (none used), bombs (all used), and dragon attacks (1 used).
Not surprisingly, Triton and Frida worked well together, her debuff makes him shine. I forgot to open the final boss fight with a bomb for the attack debuff, I will do better next time. Coming in fully loaded, I probably took about half their health before mounting casualties prompted me to bomb them into oblivion.
The 3* trainer likely has Isarniaās name on it, assuming she is still my best unleveled blue 5* when I finish Valeria (plz donāt judge). 
I really want a healer for this, but Red Hood has yet to look my way.

My Team Last Time
My Team This Time
The biggest change is that after saving Emblems for Frida, I finally decided that Iād actually rather give them to Falcon first, and brought him up to +10.
I had some troop leveling progress too, and Evelyn has stepped up a node since last time.
I also had made this note for myself last time:
So this time, I made the swap of Bombs to Axes.
The Battle
The first two stages were a cakewalk. I probably could have autoplayed them even at this point.
The third stage was straightforward to start, and I just used 7 minor healing along the way to keep everyone in good shape.
I used 3 axes along the way to keep the Bosses debuffed.
The mix of Tiburtus, Evelyn, and double Falcons made for strong tile damage, and a pretty quite progression. 3-60 Chao helped control mana a bit until he was killed.
Without a healer, by the end I ended up down to one Falcon, with the bosses near death and no healing pots left. I used a single Dragon Attack to finish them off and avoid risk of losing.
On the whole, Trials of Serenity arenāt too bad for me. I look forward to eventually maxing Falcon #2 and Chao to strengthen this team, but the item usage to get through this one is very sustainable, so itās not bad at all.
NOTE TO SELF: Probably fine to downgrade the Dragon Attacks to Bombs. Very unlikely to need the extra damage potential. Check inventory of items and crafting materials next time to decide which to bring.
Was It Harder?
Maybe? I really didnāt notice a difference for this particular one since last time.
Shiny New Emblems
Falcon went up another node to +11, but Evelyn came up short one Emblemā¦ONE!! 
Cannibalism for Fun & Profit
My second Grimm ate the Trainer Hero, bones, cloak, and all.
As soon as Grimm #2 is maxed, Karil and then Frida are up next. So that was a nice little bump in schedule.

ANYHOW, I didnāt have any healers again so I took healing flasks (the midsized) and prayed. All of my heroes were 4-60s. TIB x2, Chao (tank), Lianna and Richard as flanks.
First two were cakewalks. The last round made me have to think. Hmmm. I took bombs, axes, and arrows. Held on to everything till the last round, widdled Richard down first, then used bombs, then needled Chao with tiles till I was for ed to use up my axes. By then little miss had less than 300 so I tiled her back into the forest where she belonged.
Was it harder than the last time? I honestly canāt remember. I just know at best, it was every bit as challenging.
