(hat tip to JAWS_3D for this question)

  • 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

:dizzy: 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?

:grey_question: Standard Questions for All Trials

  • Did your team change notably since last time?
  • Have Costumes caused changes to your team?
  • Did changes to your team make the Trials any easier or harder?
  • What items did you use, if any?
  • What are you doing with your shiny new Emblems?
  • If you beat Stage 3, who’s eating the 3* Trainer Hero?
  • Anything else interesting to share?

I have Delilah, Elena, Atomos and Kingston for sure.

Thinking about the last one to bring to fight… Maybe 2nd Elena at 3/70

This is my easiest one usually, because:

Jott +15 / Boldtusk +19 / Miki / Colen +12 / Grimm +14

I am maybe thinking remove Colen and add my second Boldtusk +2 instead.

NO Reset Token

Super easy haha.
No items used.
I was lucky with blues and blue diamonds for all bosses. I think the final stage boss took me less than 20 seconds to kill them :laughing:

Red Trainer used on my Jean-Francois

Stage 1+2 Boss screenshots too

Made a change, brought in Jott for Gretel

And it turned out to be a favorable decision.

Softened up the bosses with Grimm, then fired Jott!
The resulting blue tiles were like bombs, 4 of them in the vertical dispatched Lion head. Another 3 sent Nashgar off!

Leaving the reposte queen at the center of the ice pressure.

Jott’s special made that significant difference, and as such no item used.

Barbarian emblems would go to the pile, but I am considering Jott to be worthy of some, Fighters saved for now, and the trainer goes to Noor.

I love Jott and use him in my 11* Titan fights, so I have him at +14. I WOULD put more on him but I only have 100ish remaining and want to save them for anyone else that may be worthy in the near future.

I RARELY use my Gretel who I have at +7, so will probably reset her.

Edit:
Here is my boss video. The first 10 seconds is me taking a screenshot, which you can see me trying. Then the fight lasts 22 seconds, then it’s the end result/rewards + me screenshot again.
This is at normal speed, not edited.

No changes (other than an emblem or two, and finishing Mok-Arr):

Boldtusk +18 / Kingston +10 / Elena / Mok-Arr +2 / Grimm +20

No problems, though I did use a couple of healing potions on Elena. Mok-Arr liked to charge himself right as the first boss fell, leaving him useless against Oberon, but the first two levels are no problem anyway. He made up for it on the third level. Elena’s riposte killed all three bosses.

Trainer is going to my second Wilbur, emblems to Kingston and Mok-Arr.

Finished! :slight_smile:

With this team:

Used a few small mana and small antidotes and two arrow attacks.

Emblems are for the 19th node for GM and for Fenrir (his first).

Trainer hero will stay on the bench for a little while since I’m leveling Fura and Jott at the moment.

Thanks and enjoy playing!

another one, this is my 6th and i’m committed to doing this to the end :slight_smile:

not much change for me this trial, as my only eligible non-vanillas are Sir Lancelot and Malosi 3/70.

the costumes make a big difference, allowing me to bring costumed Joon and Sartana for sniping punch. Grimm is my only eligible blue, and Boldtusk my only healer (would be so afraid of this challenge without him). Elena to turn the bosses’ strength (heh) against them.

Elena was my first target as I have no answer to her own riposte, and I’ve suicided on riposte so many times before that I always plan when facing it (especially deadly given all the high-attack heroes I have along).

reached the boss stage without spells charged because of an unexpected cascade last mob that wiped out the enemies…

Azlar went off, used an antidote. then used mana pots to charge Boldy, Joon and Sarty, then tiles finished off Elena before she went off (she was close to charging). rest of battle was relatively uneventful, Nashgar maimed himself on Elena’s riposte. Azlar went off once again, but was finished off quickly by the Boldy/Grimm/Sarty/Joon pile-on

Fighter emblems take Elena to +6. Barbarian emblems banked for Malosi, I got nearly 300 now.

Frankly, since I have been playing till now, Jott would be my first maxed slow 4* hero, all regular slow 4’s are still at 3/60; quoting your word, I am just loving him…he is amazing on Red Titans when strategically set up.

No items used.

The new emblems will go to Malosi and Magni.

Gormeck +1 - enemy defense down
Nordri +8 - elemental defense down
Boltusk 3/60 - attack up + healer
Miki 3/50 - special attack up
Misandra 2/60 - just for strong color against the bosses

Fire that blue diamond on the board and it was game-over for the three bosses. It was a brutal slaughter. They hadn’t got the chance to fire their specials. They felt faster than the monsters in farmmap 8-7. Miki’s silence wasn’t needed.

My team this time:

  • Poseidon +10
  • Azlar 4^80
  • Boldtusk +c20
  • Gormek +20
  • Little John +20

Just like last time, Poseidon gained one (very expensive) talent compared to the previous iteration. That’s all. I’m itching to try Grimm/Magni in place of Gormek/Poseidon for some serious blue tile damage, but I just didn’t think they were ready yet. Grimm is at +11 and Magni is at 4^31. That’s still a lot of squishy, and I don’t have a great feel for Magni yet, anyway.

Mob waves were pretty easy. So easy, in fact, that for the second iteration in a row, I made a blunder in the last wave, entering the bosses with only Poseidon and LJ charged. I was able to recharge and fire my reds, and I took down Nashgar before he fired, but not Azlar, and once Azlar fires, you are on the clock (because I’m a doofus who always forgets to bring antidotes). Ended up needing two bombs and two dragons to finish. Annoyed with this result because if I’d had everyone charged going into the fight, I probably would have finished with no item usage. I can’t imagine I won’t be ready to try the Grimm/Magni combo next time, so we’ll see if that goes any better.

Not enough emblems to gain a talent for either Poseidon or Grimm. Trainer hero goes to Elena, who I guess I could also consider swapping in next time, but she would only help if the bosses fire, and the whole goal here is to make sure they don’t.

Switched things up a bit this time…

Can’t remember when I last went into this trial without BK - also left out my two Guardian Kong’s.

Ran instead with:
Miki, Delilah, Mok, Kage, Panther.

Still no trouble :slight_smile:

As Bubbles i tried something different this time.

Before i used

Boldstuk - Colen - Lancelot - Hu tao and Gretel

Today i did with

Bolstusk- Nordri- Jott 3/25 - Lancelot- Grimm

I did much better with that blue team even with a partially leveled Jott. What a wonderful blue we have there . Glad i have started to work on Jott because he made a difference even at those early levels.

I will keep the emblems for a bit but im thinking about giving barbarian ones to Jott
