I would really love to be able to compete in all levels of the Trials events, but Iām only 27 so far. Whatās the reasoning in restricting the āchallengingā level to 30? I donāt get it. At least let me try!!! As it is, Iām already done with this Trial at the levels I completed easily. Yawn.
We were all new players once upon a time, and unable to complete various trials, or events until we had the hero roster / could make the battle items to do so. Iām sure youāll get the next one @Sithstress - this game is a marathon not a sprint.
Leaving space to share my team for the 4* Hero challenge.
Oh, goodie, another Trial! Only to discover how few Rogues and Sorcerers I still have I accept the challenge, nonetheless! It certainly makes it easier to pick a team, since I donĀ“t have to chose, I just go with the five I have.
My team for for the first two stages can be
Gill-Ra Agnes Graymane Hawkmoon Scarlett (snoozing at 3/60, wondering why I left here there.)
And, consumables like always, like Arrows and Potions, andā¦!
The last stage will have to wait until I grow stronger.
Hm, @Sithstress - Good question; I guess the āsystemā wants to encourage you to level up, and maybe the total team power one can āhaveā before reaching higher levels makes the challenge too hard? IĀ“m fairly new to the game too, though, so I apologize for the lack of right terms
Was ridiculously easy till last boss stage. Then all yellow and blue tiles disappeared. Had to use a few mana potions and antidotes to keep the heroes going. Lost Danza but basically it was all Kiril and Jackal.
Scarlett +19 / Peters +18 / Brynhild +19 / Lady of the Lake (3/70) / Kelille
Very easy. I didnāt have amazing boards but they were āokā. No loss of life. I badly want 4 tonics and a Tome for LOTL, I want her max and +20 emblems so much
Still no more reset token. Have they been discontinued in Trials?
It seems SG give with one hand but then sneakily take with the other hand. They gave us more emblems but removed the Reset Token.
Following my plan again for this one, because I have basically no other choices:
Sabina is my only eligible healer so she comes in, despite being weak to one of the bosses and the mobs;
Scarlett for speed and attack debuff;
Li Xiu for mana cut;
Danzaburo as a strong color;
Kelile to fill out the team, the DoT will help at least
Just like previous Trials of Shadows, this one was fairly uneventful and long - attack debuffs AND dodges on both sides tend to do that. I was doing this also during a work call (yes I am terrible). Enemy Skittles as usual died first as the only non-dodger among the bosses. Then Domitia, being in the middle and getting hit by a lot of tiles (plus a few specials: Kelileās DoT helped here!).
Poor Danza eventually died to boss attacksā¦ then Scarlett bit it from a tile cascade. Yay!
I hate sorcerers, rogues and wizards. I just canāt pull those heroes. Iām lucky enough to have 5 heroes to put up a team, but i have no choice at all.
It was hard. Sabina and Ameonna are ridiculously weak, two slashes from the mobs and they needed healing. Iām so much waiting for Sabinaās costume to give her a bit more resistance. Domitia hits, but she just doesnāt hit that hard and her protection against holy was useless. Almur and Brynhild helped a lot, if only i had a third green to stack and make that green-def-down even more impactful (even though, i had such an awful board that it would have been still useless). I had to use antidotes and healing and dragons attack.
Rogue emblems to bring Brynhild to +3. Sorcerer emblems piling up for Sabina. As of now, sheās quite useless. She dies too easily.
Trainer to second BT.
This trial is funny because Sabina is so squishy and is the only healer to all available for most line ups. Hopefully with the future costume incoming stats will be more solid and we will have a less squishier sabina without embleming her.
My Sabina died this time
Anyways i will have Garnet ready soon. I think once i have her baked i will bench Sabina forever for this trial
Continuing with the 4 star only challenge. Tagging the mastermind @Muchacho
I used the following team. Although itās a good team what I did lack were cleansers, and you really need them because of the double attack debuffs from Skittles and Scarlett. But nothing that a couple of antidotes coudnāt take care of. I took Skittles along as my own attack debuffer which helped reduce the damages from mobs and bosses. Double Jackal was awesome, especially since both of them charge with only 6 tiles. Plus, Domitia gives defense against yellow, which was easily flipped by them. Costume Kasshrek was the MVP, put him in between the squishy Jackal brothers and at times they ended up with more than 2000 HP, which really helped with their survival. Good old Sabina for the normal straight heal to keep the team healthy. Had to use a couple of minor health potions on her though, when the bosses thought it would be funny to go after the deathbound lady, to which I had to say, not today. All emblems and trainer heroes hoarded for now.
This trial is the most difficult to me, as I have a big lack both of sorcerer and rogue heroes. Iām ascending now Toth-Amun and Zocc so as to have one of each. Besides, I want them for my fourth 5*-hero team.
The trainer will go to Raffaelle, as heās the healer of this team.
Couldnāt just find the witch in the spot where she should be on my roster, totally missing and possibly because the costume version is on my defense in the tourney; but I thought the problem was resolved sometimes.
Anyway
4* challenge well only have 4* for it. This went bad lost sabina early on the bosses so ouch. Danza shined 3 swords and a bottle used quite alot of items all health and time stop some sml mana and green.
Compared to last time, Brynhild is up four talents and Marjana is up 2.
Mob waves were fairly unremarkable. Was more liberal using specials to make it go faster. Entered the boss wave with all specials charged and green and red diamonds on the board. Consequently, I was able to take out Boss Skittleskull before she fired. That meant I didnāt have to use as many bear banners to reverse attack down. I think I used two. Thankfully, Boss Scarlett didnāt evade any specials, so she went down pretty quickly also. Past that, it was pretty straightforward to take out Boss Domitia.
Rogue emblems take Marjana up a talent; sorcerer emblems saved for Almur. Trainer hero goes to Jarvur, who Iām now furiously trying to finish since Isarnia showed up yesterday.
