Special Questions for Trials of Fortitude
The Cleric and Druid Classes skew heavily toward healers — unlike some of the Trials, there are many to choose from. Did you bring any healers along?
While having healer options is nice, the Cleric and Druid Classes are quite light on hitters. Did you find it hard to build a team with sufficient offensive power?
Cleric Boril can be effective for killing boss Horghall by getting him to suicide on Boril’s riposte. Did you bring Boril along, and if so, did you find that an effective tactic?
Standard Questions for All Trials
Did your team change notably since last time?
Have Costumes caused changes to your team?

Anything else interesting to share?

Team as last time, but Grazul finally maxed and Boril work in progress. Remaining team, Rigard, Melendor and Horghal, all maxed and emblemed. With 3 healers and Boril only good for riposte, a lack of attack meets annoying Vivica’s cleansing and healing. Without dragon storm and bombs the match could have taken forever. Emblems go to Grazul and maybe Melendor. Trainer goes to Elkanen, who will be a game changer for this trials.
About your team I won’t waste a word…(for undressing Lianna it‘s to early in the day…trading Ariel would be against the law…and no word about grannies…)
Music is:
(The first seconds sound like wind howling through a window and I thought: Has the heavy storm now arrived at Hamburg?)
Thanks for sharing the fight and the music.
Major changes: MN and Vela in for Melendor and Agwe. Good decision, it went smooth without much bombing - used minor mana and antidotes. I think Caedmon died in between, but MN was there for the rescue
I was thinking of subbing out Melendor for Rigard, but the not-punch-self-in-face dispel for Boril was not something I wanted to walk into that fight without. Gafar really did work keeping Vivica’s face in the dirt, and she died a slow death without healing herself a single point. Boril was the last to go down.
I’ve been itching for more reasons to use Vela, and although she may be a bit underpowered yet, I chose her over a second Caedmon 4^70. Their TP is about equal. Also, compared to last time, Boril is up 5 talents, and I pulled emblems from my second Melendor to emblem up Caedmon instead, so he’s up 11 talents.
Yes, this thing is a slog all the way through due to a lack of hitters. When maxed, Vela may help with that, but being blue against green mobs isn’t ideal. At least the DoT is nice. Entered the boss wave with all specials charged. Went to work on Groot, and man, his HP is ridiculous. Two or three times, I was sure I had him beaten (no visible health in the bar before I landed more tile damage) only to find out that he’s still there (to be healed by Vivica) after my latest flurry of tiles. He finally did himself in on riposte. After that, it’s just a battle of attrition, as Boril nor Vivica hits very hard, and neither has a damage-dealing special.
I have two dispellers for Boss Boril’s riposte (no, I don’t usually mind shooting Caedmon at him and eating the riposte damage). Timing Vela can be tricky so Vivica doesn’t wipe away her lovely DoT. I did have to use a few healing potions to keep up with the damage, but ultimately, green tiles were enough to take down Boss Boril, and I was able to whittle away on Vivica’s health despite her heal.
Not enough emblems to step up Boril or Caedmon. Still hoping I can pull them from Boril for a five-star (preferably green) cleric one day. Trainer hero goes to Kashrek. (Hey, it was him or Gobbler!)
Managed all three stages and; thanks to @JAWS_3D and his advices after the last Trial; this time nearly without real big problems. (Ok; I had them, if I am honest, but this time they were not a blue whale but rather a rhino…)
(…had forgotten to take a picture; only this one…but to proof that I managed the last stage:)
Trainer: Kadilen
Emblems:
Not enough for Kunchen. Is +7
Druids: Caedmon or Triton (4.65) but I guess to go further with Caed could be a better decision because I need more green firepower.(Eve, Zeline, Lianna) Blue: Grimm, Arthur and Perseus.
But I am always glad and happy to hear opinions and advices.
(Of course thanks @zephyr1 for posting the links and „building“ this thread…both always a great help…)
Spent 3 items each on axes, bombs and dragon bombs. Thought I was done on one run after firing Hansel at Boril, so I sent some tiles and immediately realized I forgot to fire Grazy to protect against Horghal. Oh well, Mama said there’d be days like this.
With plenty of healers here, the end result was still in my favor, so mistakes aside it turned out fine.
Emblems saved for now, trainer goes to brand new Kage, taking him to 3/53, hope to have him done in a week or so.
Took the slow and steady route, largely because I had to choice. Rigard (+18), Caed (+9), Boril (3.60), Mel (4.70), and Graz (4.80).
It was no surprise that I had no survivability issues; and that Groot was the first to go down. Used axes to finish off Boril. Rigard got the emblems, Caed will likely get the emblems, and Kingston gets the trainer.
