Special Questions for Trials of Shadows
There are a number of healer options available for this trial (Sabina, Lady of the Lake, Puss in Boots, Brynhild Costumed Vivica & Costumed Hawkmoon). Did you bring any of them along?
How did you deal with Boss Scarlett and Skittleskull’s attack debuffs? Some possible options include Antidotes, using Rogue Khiona to overwrite the debuffs, using Sorcerer Mitsuko for mana control, using Sorcerer Ameonna to shed to status effects on herself, using Rogues Inari or Margaret to dodge the specials, using Rogue Peters to silence, or using Rogue Costumed Tyrum to clear the ailments.

Same result as last time although I lost my jackal immediately at the beginning of the boss fight due to Skittles special and two followup slashes from Domitia and Scarlett (thanks for hitting the same target, nvm…). Anyhow, Sif as MVP on the field still made it like a walk in the park…
Trainer went to Panther, emblems to the bank…maybe one day I will get a useful sorcerer
weak in both rogues and sorcerers.
Danza at 4/70 is the only maxed 4*, rest of the team is Skittle 3/60, Hawkmoon(c), chochin and jahangir. Way too weak to finish the 3rd tier (or I would have to use way to many expensive items).
Maybe in a few months when I finally get to level sabina (1.1), and have finished jackal (new, next in line for yellow after Kvasir gets his special to 8/8)
I use: Sabina, Isarnia-Costume, Elena-Costume, Khiona and Mitsuko.
I dropped out Marjana this time.
Isarnia-Costume is the Queen of my fight, since some of monsters and bosses are red. Her skill dealt great damages and lower the defense of monsters and bosses effectively. Together with Khiona attack booster Elena and Mitsuko were super destructive.
Domitia was countered attack by Elena skill; at 1400 HP, died so quick…
Made some changes, brought in Brynhild for Jackal 2 and rearranged the team, giving Kellie and Jackal Brynhild protection.
That eventually kept them alive.
emblems to Ursena and trainer for Almur right now 4/55.
When i finish Almur im seriously thinking in maxing Skittleskull only for this trial (shes at 3/60 now)
and then use her and almur in the team
Some shiny new options this time, so some substantial changes. Marjana, who I just finished maxing this morning, is in for Ameonna +19. Shredder Kiril takes the place of Brynhild 4^70, who for some reason, didn’t especially impress me last time on this trial. In hindsight, though, I think I probably should have kept Brynhild and swapped out Sabina. Maybe next time. Also, Domitia is up one talent, and Skittleskull is up 5.
Shredder Kiril is a boss; I suspect you knew that already. With his def down, making sure I got everyone recharged for the bosses was more of an issue than previously, but I just topped off Skittles’ mana before killing the last moblling, and entered with all specials charged and a red diamond on the board.
As usual, I worked on taking out Boss Skittles first, simply because evade is annoying, and she is the only boss that doesn’t have it. She fell pretty quickly, and my plan was to go after Scarlett next, but the board felt that Domitia was a better option. OK, whatever. So Domitia went down next. Always seems like Scarlett evades more anyway, so she was the last to fall. Used some antidotes just to save annoyance from the attack down ailments, but I could have finished without them. Otherwise, no items used. MVP to Shredder Kiril; I mentioned him, right?
Saving all emblems right now because iron is at a premium with the SH25/HA update. I still have storages and houses to work on in preparation for SGG flipping the switch. Sorcerer emblems will go to Skittles, who is performing OK as a costume cleric with emblems. Undecided about rogue emblems. Probably not going to give any more to Domitia because of the high cost of the last two nodes. Brynhild is likely, but maybe Marjana (if I have the stomach for embleming another five-star). Scarlett is a dark horse, if I wanted to build a tile damage monster for Titans and late war teams to take out stubborn greens. Trainer hero goes to Magni, who popped out of TC20 this week. I’m still smiling about that one. My new Raffale is not, though. (His day will come.)
I am awful at Shadows but this time I improved. This time, I beat 2 levels
My team was: Tyrum in his costume (1/1), Domitia (2/60), Sabina (+13), Scarlett (1/1) and Isarnia in her costume (1/1). I used some bombs, axes and arrows on level 2 but I didn’t have to use them all.
I emblemed Sabina up to 14 and I am saving the rogue emblems for Domitia (even though she is stuck at 2/60 because I never have enough trap tools)
BTW, anyone using Norns here? @JonahTheBard? I’m finally getting around to leveling her, and although it will be a while before she gets to a usable level, I’m just wondering how effective she is.
