Special Questions for Trials of Piety
Trials of Piety is relatively heavy on healer options — did you bring any healers? And were you able to find sufficient firepower amongst your Cleric and Monk choices?
Monk Wilbur really shines for Quests and Trials, both for making survival easier, and for debuffing enemy defense. Do you have Wilbur, and if so, did you bring him along?

Lots of bye hands from Friar Tuck, but Hansel succeeded in cutting him short here and there, The Hatter stealing their buffs and then Wilbur sharing their slashes…this team has better synergy than the previous, so no item needed.
No Yellow project currently, so trainer saved, Rigard or Hansel would get the cleric’s emblem, monk’s saved for now.
This is the team I lead with for stage 1 (my normal form is to be able to complete most quests up to the stage 3 bosses who defeat me time after time (it’s demoralising)). Now, I really need a dispeller, but the only one I have is Fish Boy! (Mnesseus) and i wonder if he has the durabillity for stage 2 let alone stage 3? Is there a battle item other than a time stop (reset enemy mana) that I can use with some effect?
EDIT: this was not specifically directed at @Guvnor, the forum software did it!
I finished it with a team of Rigard-Mist-Joon-Wu Kong-Wilbur. This was one of the easier trials for me. Trainer hero to Costume Joon. Reset emblem = yes.
I used costumed Boldtusk +19, Wilbur +20, Mist +18, Leonidas +10, Joon
No real problems, but I did use some dragon attacks to speed it along.
Cleric emblems banked. Monk emblems probably to Leonidas, as he is the war tank. Reset emblem goes onto the huge pile. Lady Woolerton scarfed down the trainer before I could hold her back. Vegetarian indeed.
Used some items to finish bosses faster. Mist completely neutralized Boril, so he was not a problem. Emblems will go to Vivica (who is locked in Sorcerer mode due to being in war defense) and MT.
My team this time. I should only use mana potions to fire Boldtusk / Wilbur. The plan is to activate Wilbur + Wu Kong at the boss level and use some diamond(s) when the battle starts. It’s a well used recipe (and works like a charm).
I hate Vivica and Boril. Takes too long. Did not even bother my good board and fully loaded specials. Nuked them! Emblems stored for Grazul and Wilbur. Trainer for Malosi.
Changes:
Rigard to the bench and Vivi on the field.
Finally she is at 4.80.
Fight was…ok…Kunchen and Vivi against Joon at the end of the game took a really long time…they healed each other but two defenders against an attacking player…a little bit hard…a felt eternity later: Victory!
Trainer: goes to my new project called Joon
Emblems:
Cleric for Rigard because I promised him before Vivi appeared. And word of honour is word of honour.
Monk: stored
Last time was the first time I managed it although I took and used a lot of items. Used a few revive scrolls, I expect.
Currently my team is the same …
HM (c bonus), Li Xui, Boril, Grimble, Wu
The difference this time is Hm’s costume is fully maxed and Grimble is very nearly fully maxed. In addition I can now make time stops which I couldn’t before so it was a little easier to crack it. I did still need a lot of items but I was using them tactically rather than desperately as I was before!
Obviously, using a 3* is always going to make the last round tough. I have recently pulled Wilbur but realised how much I needed a green today to deal with Boril. Only option there for the future is Lianna’s costume. Still got a way to go before I get that up to a reasonable level though.
I swapped out Wilbur for Mist to test her luck in this Trial. Not sure if one run is enough to determine her worth here, so I’ll likely try her again next time. She did… OK, but didn’t make it to closing time, so I can’t say it was any better results than before.
Compared to last time, Wilbur is up one talent, and that’s basically all that changed. The fight didn’t go much differently, either. Mob waves are not a problem; can’t hit the bosses hard enough to do jack squat, even with Wilbur’s def down and Chef Boldtusk’s attack up. Once again, after some early success, the board turned almost entirely green, and keeping up with Tuck’s heal and mana buff was too much. Wilbur got taken out on a double hit, then Leo and Li went down, so I felt good about getting out with only a dragon, two bombs, and three axes used. This might be my least favorite of the trials now, since I anticipate that the Trials of Justice will get easier with the addition of KISS Tiburtus soon. Not sure there is any immediate help on the horizon for this trial. Costume Skittleskull?
Monk emblems take Wu Kong to +2. Cleric emblems being saved for Vivica, and the trainer hero gets her tantalizingly close to being able to claim them (4^79).
This is one of the trials I dislike the most, because I hate not being able to dispel Boril’s riposte, Vivica’s defense buff and Friar Tuck’s mana regen UNLESS I have Mnesseus along. And Round 2’s Vivica/Boril and Round 3’s Boril/Tuck combinations are just extremely annoying. I’ve suicided on riposte enough that it leaves a bad taste in my mouth to not be able to dispel it…
I did use Mnesseus, Bjorn and costummed Brienne to great effect in the first two Rounds. Then for Round 3, I selected…
Rigard: healing + cleanse Joon’s blind
costumed Skittles: attack debuff + strong color vs. waves
Mnesseus: to dispel Boril and Tuck (and hope/pray I can keep him alive)
Joon: pure sniping damage and blind
Aeron: double-up on strong color versus Joon, HoT counters Boril’s riposte somewhat
Hoped that this combination would keep Mnesseus alive. Well, I buckled myself in for a long, long, long ride…
(also did this while cooking dinner, so forgot to screenshot during the battle… yeesh!)
Enemy Joon fired thrice, missed twice due to being blinded by my own Joon. When Joon did hit, damage was softened due to Skittles’ debuff. I would cycle through Boril / Tuck firing, dispelling with Mnesseus, and healing with Aeron/Rigard to keep Mnesseus alive. I would do a one-two punch with Mnesseus, where Mnesseus’ weaker attack meant riposte didn’t kill him, allowing Joon to hit safely.
Joon fell first, then after a while, Tuck. And finally, after a long-ish time, Boril.
