🔵 [Jan 5, 2020] Trials of Fortitude Teams – Share Yours & Discuss!

Same team as last time and I may never change it, since why fix what ain’t broken. Dump tiles into Boril and let him fire, then dispel or steal. Fire on Viv, use Hansel on Viv and/or Horghall as needed.

My Team Last Time

My Team This Time


After 2 stage with Gafar in and Caedmon out, I’m thinking it is too heavy healer without power, so I changed Melendor to Caedmon (still need one dispeller at least).
Hansel emblem from +3 to +14.

The Battle


At boss step, All mana-charged and ready to fire, good board, no used items so far good start.


Used x1 mana for caedmon to dispell boril, and 1x bear banner to flip Horghall att debuff.
Last boss Boril finished by Gafar special.

The Reward


Emblem Druid keep for Alby, Cleric not decide yet either continue Hansel or Rigard.
Trainer goes to Kingston.

My team last time :point_up_2:
My team this time :point_down:

Small improvements and a reorder of my team but the same effectiveness. Might not change the team henceforth. Having an emblem maxed Melendor and emblem maxed Boril will push me to give the emblems elsewhere. Hoarding them and the trainer heroes for now.

Every time struggling with this trial because I have a huge leck of firepower.
:point_down:


Like you can see I am able to heal a small city with my portable hospital but stick like a butterfly.

But with the E&P little helpers bombs, axes and mana managed it the first time. :boom:

Trainee hero: Kadilen
Emblems: Do not know. Have no druids and I am extremely uncertain about the other ones.
Maybe somebody has any advices?
I would be glad.

Went with a new team. Agwe at 3/60 died in two shots everytime but luckily rezzed in the last round to speed up taking out viv. Used no items switched albi in for vic this time and ran boss wolf as tank 3/70 instead of boril. The mana down literary made the match a breeze

Congrats on finishing! Caedmon is definitely a Druid worth investing in (I have two maxed) once you get him. He gets very strong with emblems and is helpful in this Trial (maybe replace Mel with him for more firepower).

My team:


Now that Boril and Tree Man are gone, just gotta buckle up and grind it out:

Broke with ham and iron so the emblems go to the Parking Lot for a while :grin:

Last time:

This time. I’d specifically levelled Gafar for this. Time for him to shine!

So status update. Gafar only lasts for 2 turns and is kinda squiffy with Ranvir. Oops.

But seeing Vivica heal that big, fat 0 is oddly satisfying.

Not sure if I should keep going with Vivica on cleric emblems or just switch to Gafar. He was kinda underwhelming for his big debut.

Ty again zephyr for this. I used a bunch of those links to find my first time I’d posted. Things have changed since I brought a 3/60 Boril to the field, lol…

I don’t have Boril, and often this event is a bit of a challenge due to being “healer” heavy for me.

I took in my team with a single time stop, axes, mana and antidote but the cascades are definitely what helped this time and Grazul being highly leveled.

I used Caedmon 4-70+4 / Ariel 4-80+3 / Horghall 4-80+1 / Boril 4-70+3 /Melendor 4-70+18

Same team as previous. Prior to last time I was using Rigard instead of Ariel.

I used bombs and arrows to soften up the last bosses. Boril first, then Horghall, then Vivica (actually trying to take out Vivica second but Horghall was more cooperative). Kept Boril’s counterattack up and they helped kill themselves. I would like having a but more direct firepower on my team but, you know, use what you have.

This one’s so tough because all I have are healers/non-damage dealers…

My team was agwe 3/60, gedeirus, boril+13, melendor+19, elkanen 2/60. Took 3 time stops to stop vivica from healing, 5 arrow attacks (saving the better dmg ones for challenge event) and some small heal pots to keep agwe alive mostly because I do almost no dmg and every little bit counts lol

Continuing the discussion from :large_blue_circle: [Jan 5, 2020] Trials of Fortitude Teams – Share Yours & Discuss!:

Thank you for your congratulations and your advice. I have Caedmon in my roster but, honestly, never thought about him…:see_no_evil: till I read a post from @IvyTheTerrible. Sorry, I do not know how to insert a link. It‘s about his retirement and how good and valuable Caedmon is. And now you told me and remind me at him(post&Caedmon). It‘s a shame not thinking about something nearby. Stand in the forest but do not see the trees…:see_no_evil: What would you do? Stop leveling Kadilen? Or is it the best way to create a „own“ topic with all, a lot, my questions?(Never done it and, sorry, do not want to disturb anybody…)
I really do not know…

Do not want to repeat myself but: Thank you, Jaws.
And sorry for this:

Same team as last time, with more emblems on Ma North.

  • On the bench: Ariel, Viv, Rigs, Gad, Mel, Gafar, Caed, Boril, Hansel, Agwe, 3.70 Elk, 3.70 Alb, 3.70 Grazul (plz send tonics and rings)
  • Up and coming: Sonya 2 4.14 (I never thought I would level a second one)

Showed up for the fight with everyone ready except Ma North, and a pair of diamonds. I then proceeded to slowly grind it out. Horghall died in a huge cascade of mostly blue tiles, that in turn killed Lepus and Viking Sonya. I then ended up in an annoying holding pattern of heroes with low health unable to fire because of the counter-attack, and then they would get sniped anyway by regular attacks. Ma North basically turned it into a game of whack-a-mole. After several more turns of grinding, I finally dropped Boril. By the end, Ma had everyone back up.

The only ones who didn’t die were Ma North and Zimkitha. Next time I will bring Ariel instead of Viking Sonya. I didn’t use any items, though I am sure it would have been faster had I used some.

Trainer to… Shrubbear (don’t judge). Emblems to Ma North and the pile of Druid emblems in case I pull Vela.

Nearly same team as last time, swapped out Boril for Grazul, seemed to make things easier.


With dispel, cleanse and Grazul’s protection, things were much more manageable.

Trainer goes to Kingston, emblems being saved for now.

My team this time:

  • Rigard +20
  • Melendor +20
  • Boril +13
  • Caedmon 4^70
  • Caedmon 4^70

Same crew as last time, only Boril is up five talents.

No trouble with mob waves, and made it to the boss wave with all specials but Boril charged. Opened with a dragon and bomb so they could have maximum effect before Vivica’s cleanse. Thought I’d get Boril charged before Horghall fired, but I didn’t so that was… not ideal. Had Horghall and Boril both on the ropes when Vivica went off, so that didn’t go well either. Eventually, Horghall killed himself, and I was able to take down Boss Boril soon after, but I wasn’t able to do enough damage to keep up with Vivica’s healing, so I finally just unloaded another dragon, bomb, and a few axes to do her in.

Cleric emblems take Boril to +14; druid emblems take my second Melendor to +7. Trainer hero goes to my late Christmas present, Buddy.

My team this time. Took three gem purchases to complete.

Hi Mate,

Just a small piece of personal advice. It probably isn’t worth doing more than 1 gem-continue (at absolute the most)…

Reason being is that emblems pop up in the shop for a cost of 175 gems for 5 emblems in 2 classes (10 emblems total). This is roughly equivalent cost to doing 2 gem continues.

Just my $0.02

Congrats on finishing tho!!

Well did this trial across all three profiles. Just did the first two on both main and first alt. 2nd alt is confined to stage 1 because of level wall.

Here is who I took on my main:

When I get Caedmon up he will be replacing Mnesseus in this trial. Same with Mel replacing Belith once maxed. Anyways, this was a breeze because had two dispellers which came in handy on the first stage due to Boril’s riposte. Having 3 greens made mob waves real easy, and having Melia’s increased crit chance helped everywhere. Cleric emblems are being saved for Hawkmoon (just two more nodes then I am done), druid emblems are going to Belith until she is +15.

Here is who I took on my first alt:

Agwe’s nature protection came in handy against Horghall. That combined with an axe attack and his special just tickles. I wish I had Belith maxed out for this trial on this profile. Anyway, emblems are being saved for Hawkmoon and Caedmon.

And here is who I took on my 2nd alt:

Yeah, I know less than optimal team but at least I can do the first stage at least. Had to be careful of Boril’s riposte as I had no passive debuffer. Emblems are being stored for now.

How on earth can you play 3 accounts? My only one already sucks more time than I ever wanted to spend on playing.
