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?

This time. Little John is a tad smaller due to stripping the emblems off him and giving them to Gretel, but I didn’t want to rock full rainbow this time around.
Debating where to go with these fighter emblems since I’m pretty sure splitting it between Panther and Kingston isn’t the best of ideas. I’m also tempted to max out Boldtusk to 20 also. Idk.
Swapped out LJ for Kingston this time. Had about the same result though. Spent a revive on Sumi since I wasn’t paying attention and they struck right as I realized I missed the heal. Lost everyone but my +18 Boldy thanks to that revive. The fight dragged on with just Boldy for a few minutes as he hacked away on Nashgar while trying to maintain health.
I just noticed in my screenshots, I was using 3* Troops for Miki and Hu Tao, when I have 4* (both level 5 or 6 i think) troops for each of those 2 colours! Hahahaha i suck. I can’t even blame it on a hangover because I wasn’t celebrating and getting drunk for New Year. Oh well
Ended up using everything. If I had taken small heals instead of the bombs, it probably would have gone better. As it is, I had only Azlar left of the bosses with miniscule hits when his special went off and eliminated my last hero. Went for the 75 gems to get the emblems/trainer. I had Elena at 2/40 or so, probably too weak still, but would have made the difference with the reflect…
Elena is getting the trainer; Kingston the fighter emblems. Shopping for a good 5* barbarian.
First of all, I was very disappointed to see that SGG did not, in fact, rename this to the “Trial of Smash It”. (reference) Ah, well. My team this time:
Poseidon +3
Azlar 4^80
Gormek +20
Boldtusk +20
Little John +7
Compared to last time, Boldtusk reached max emblems, Poseidon picked up another talent, and Little John is up 4 talents. This lineup is VERY unlikely to change for a long time. Perhaps if I ever max Elena, but I’m kind of doubting even that.
Mob waves are a joke with this lineup. Entered the boss wave with all specials charged, and with BT + Gormek + LJ + Azlar, the battle is half over at the end of the first turn. (Poseidon targeted Boss Azlar, if you are interested. Two moves in, I create a green diamond, which in turn recharges LJ, and it’s clear this one is Oh - VAH! Bosses Azlar and Elena never fired; Nashgar fired at the end and actually killed LJ, but really, who cares at that point? Nary an item was touched throughout the trial.
Both Poseidon and LJ fall short of the next node; trainer hero goes to Scarlett.
Welcome to the party Miki. The silence really came in useful. I didn’t even realize that it was going on til about 2 turns in (I’m not used to playing with Miki yet). Between that and Boldtusk healing, no nuking was required. However Sumitomo and Boldtusk were the only survivors. Starting on Boldtusk for emblems now. And I’m throwing everything into a Sabina right now so she got the trainer.
The team pretty much remains the same. No items were required. Had all my heroes charged up and full health before boss stage. I focussed on killing Azlar first, the Grimm brothers are awesome at killing reds. Then once he was down, Elena went down shortly afterwards. Little John kept their mana in check for the first few moves, so that helped me in getting rid of some junk tiles. Nashgar killed one of the Grimm brothers before he died, and that was more or less it.
The emblems went to Little John, thus finishing that project. The fighter emblems went to Rudolph, this is part of the project where I am trying to bring some of the key 3 star heroes to +6 emblems to be able to fight for top 1% in 3 star tournaments. Trainer hero hoarded for the last few levels of any future 5 star I might power level when I have the mats.
