Did you need to use a lot of items this time on Trials of Survival?

(hat tip to JAWS_3D for this question)

Yeah, I nuked the bosses from space. Ripley would approve.
I used some items to finish off the bosses, but it wasn’t the full arsenal
I used support items like mana, banners, healing, and maybe a battle item or two, but nothing too crazy
I just used some minor items, like healing, mana, or antidotes
I didn’t use any items

Should be easy for me…

Team Power: 3,638
Peters (+5) / Miki / Brynhild (+19) / Jott +15) / Grimm (+14)

Gretel, Little John, Scarlett and Kelile are my only other maxed hero I could use or a 3/70 Malosi.
No to both.

Circe · August 12, 2020, 7:28am

Grimm - Jackal - C. Li Xiu - Malosi - Alice

Had Brynhild but decided to attempt it without a healer and go with a 3-2 color stack. Was fairly smooth, No heroes lost, 1 small antidote, 2 minor mana and 10 minor healing potions used.

No reset token. Emblems banked. Trainer to Alice.

Slobix · August 12, 2020, 7:45am

Peters, Kelile, Gravemaker, Gormek and Grimm. Since I don’t have any healers in these classes, took a lot of healing potions just in case. Wasn’t too hard, spent some healings so that I come to bosses with full health.

Emblems for GM and Jackal, trainer for Marjana.

Zsj · August 12, 2020, 7:54am

Classic heroes challenge accepted! Or at least, that was the plan… I accidentally brought along Jot, and the moment I pressed the ‘fight’ button I realised I messed up…

O well. I benched Brynhild, Gravemaker and Malosi.

I brought this team, and no items used despite no healer so I’m pleased.

JGE · August 12, 2020, 8:04am

Completed with same team as previously used:
Grimm, Costume Richard, Domitia, G. Jackal and Malosi
Used a purple banner and a couple of bombs
Note to self - I need to max Brynhild for next time to see how that goes

sleepyhead · August 12, 2020, 8:20am

Almost done with the vanilla challenge…

Little John, costumed Li Xiu, Grimm, Marjana, Scarlett

I figured that LJ plus Li would make a good combo to slow down the bosses, while the other 3 focus on killing. stocked up on healing items and antidotes as well - especially healing items, as I don’t have a single healer for this trial.

Benched - Inari, Margaret, Danzaburo, and my newly-ascended Malosi

Reached the boss stage with all specials charged. Targeted Azlar first, as that AoE is a pain. Left Scarlett for last, as her Rogue talent kicks in a lot… Azlar did fall first to specials, followed by Nashgar to a nice tile cascade. Ended up using only antidotes and healing potions.

Sadly, wasn’t able to take a screenshot - dang it! I looked away from my phone as Scarlett died, and came back to the reward screen. So instead, here’s a screenshot of the team and of Recent Activity.

Pros of this trial: the bosses are frailer than, say, Trials with Paladins or Clerics, so my high-attack team managed fairly well, even without relying on specials.

666martin666 · August 12, 2020, 8:31am

Thanks to miki, not even 1 boss got loaded

notyou87 · August 12, 2020, 8:49am

I got very arrogant on this one and then was given no blue’s at the bosses lol.
I ended up losing Grimm and almost Peters. I just didn’t want to use any items. And I had killed Scarlett very fast.

But no items used.
Trainer will go to Elena, I am finally finishing her now I completed Jean-Francois. Elena is about 4/50 I think.

rho · August 12, 2020, 8:59am

Grimm+11, Gretel 4/70, Malosi 4/80, Jackal+12, Grave+6

Gretel replaced Brynhild from last time. Decided to ditch a half-healer in favor of more mana control. Azlar was down to less than 30% health after I fired all my specials and cleared the board of yellows. Had to throw some mana pots at Gretel to prevent Scarlett from firing but was well worth it. Azlar dropped first, followed by Scarlett, neither firing their special once. Nashgar went off once but I didn’t care since I had everybody charged up again. Grimm+Jackal is a very lethal combination because tiles (especially yellow) start doing ludicrous damage.

Trainer and emblems saved.

Robkirky1 · August 12, 2020, 9:53am

Same team

Not a very good board

At least got the Big boi first

mmmm

I hate her dodge

Emblems saved, trainer for Gazelle

Olmor · August 12, 2020, 4:48pm

No items needed.
No reset token received.
No loot used so far.
Trainer to Marjana.

Nice boss battle:

kaddarka · August 12, 2020, 4:57pm

For me and my poor roaster it’s usually hard to beat 3rd stage without any healer in the team, but I did it this time! Axes and bomb attack were esstentials, but this 3* heroes are really fragile.

jinbatsu · August 12, 2020, 5:26pm

My Team Last Time

My Team This Time

Finally 2nd Brynhild is maxxed now, and join to the party.
Other Option
2020-08-13_00-13-30

Battle

Decent start with full mana ready.

Nice with 3x blue double Grimm and Miki silence. And double Brynhild for complete healer.

Finally without using items on Trial of Survival

Reward

Emblems Rogue: Scarlett is already at +18 (optimal), now continue for Brynhild (plan both to be +7). Barbarian currently still hoarding (1017 in inventory). Trainer keep later either for JF or Noor. Not yet decide which should ascend (already have the 6th rings yesterday mount Umber).

Lexxtarc · August 12, 2020, 5:34pm

I couldnt do the trial yet because the crash thing and because i have to fill a red chest. I will try later or maybe if sg give us a we flask.

Is this the only trial without a healer to use?

Sorry i see there is brynhild which i dont have

jinbatsu · August 12, 2020, 5:36pm

Only Brynhild and Puss in Boot currently I think.

And it is already written in the OP:
