Special Questions for Trials of Strength
Fighter Boldtusk and Fighter Delilah are excellent healer options, but of course not everyone has them. Do you have one of them available, and did you bring them along? If not, how did you manage the lack of healers?
The Barbarian and Fighter Classes have some big hitters — the “Strength” name for these Trials is no surprise. Did you find it helped to have some strong attackers for your team?
Standard Questions for All Trials

I would like advice on what you think I should use for this one:
My Max and definites to use:
Miki (max)
Colen +11
Boldtusk +5
Which other 2 to take from what I have below?
I was thinking Grimm so he stacks with Miki, and then maybe Gormek for defense down? Or Little John for Mana control help. I am not sure.
Sumitomo (3/60)
Hu Tao (3/60)
Grimm (3/60)
Gormek (3/60)
Little John (3/60)
Those seem like good options to me, because Miki + BT + Gormek means going after tile damage — so LJ can help slow their charging while you dump into them.
I normally like Grimm far more than Gormek, but at 3-60, he’ll be hard to keep alive without babysitting.
Used same team as before
GM+18, Elena, Miki, Mosandra, Delilah+17
Was very easy fight as the board really went well
Emblems will go to Delilah and i need to reconsider if i want to level Gm to 19 or should i start someone else
Okay, here we go…another trial without me participating in the last thread. Seems I used the same team as in November. So my team last time might have been something like this, only different in emblems:
This time I’m thinking about switching out LJ and putting in BK, but BK is only on 2/47…
This time, I swapped out LJ for Azlar 3/60, for two reasons, although LJ mana control could be useful but against 3 red bosses, either he dies so fast or needing lots of items, and comparing stats, Azlar 3/70 appeared better than LJ 3/60. This proved significant in the battle, although I observed quite a number of wasted green tiles, but overall with minimal use of items, Azlar was standing till the end partly also from Magni defense buffs.
Boards were really nice to me this time and thanks to Miki’s special the enemy Azlar fired just a turn before I killed them. No items used.
The new emblems are for Azlar and Magni. Trainer hero to duplicate Boldtusk.
At 2/47 BK would be quite weak compared to your emblem LJ, more so if BK’sbspecial skill is not yet maxed, but then it will be fun to see how he turns those damages to just flesh wounds.
I’m not very fond of this trial, because none of my 5-Stars have the right classes, and I don’t have a debuffer either.
My team is same as last time: Colen+18, Boldtusk+1, Grimm+13, Littlejohn+3, and Hu Tao+6.
I was fine until the boss battle, and even managed to kill Elena just as she was about to activate the riposte, but she revived, of course. So I needed 5 super mana pots (for Boldtusk) and then 5 bomb attacks, 1 dragon attack, and 1 axe attack to finish them off without killing myself in the process. The crappy board didn’t help.
I’ll probably emblem Boldtusk and Grimm. The trainer hero will go to the second Guardian Falcon I’m upgrading.
Got to the bosses with everyone ready except Delilah. It feels good to take boss Elena to half health in your opening salvo. After some tile drops, both Azlar and Elena detonated on me. I just gritted my teeth and pushed forward.
Elena dropped first, finished off with tiles. I then took out the lion in similar fashion. Unfortunately, due to counter-attack and burn damage, I lost Grimm. Press F for respect.
I ghosted tiles until Nashgar’s thorns were gone, and then dispatched him with specials. Before going down, Nash fired his own special at Kingston, which prompted a Nelson “Hah ha!”
Trainer to Zeline, emblems to Kage and… Kingston. I won’t put the next rank on Delilah until she has a troop specifically leveled to take advantage of the mana speed bump, and that could be a ways off.
Used the usual culprits, they are all pretty strong and gets the job done insanely fast with all the high tile damage. No items were needed for this one. Emblems and trainer hero stored for now.
