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.

This trial makes me so happy. A year ago I had garbage heroes for this event. Now after grinding I see the heroes I don’t use are great. Jackal +15, Brynhild +9, Almur +8, and maxed Sabina & Scarlett all not on my team. Seeing progress really makes you feel good
Same Team as last time, troops levelled and Scarlett got +20 after the first of the 3 trials. (With 895 attack, she would be ready for a costume!) The board was soso, but Sabina kept me in the game! All of the bosses took their chance to fire their special more than once, somehow the ladies proved sturdier than expected. Trainer to Magni, emblems stored for Marjana and I don’t have any hero for the sorcerer emblems - maybe some day I will make benched Quintus 1/1 a project.
This is a tricky one to me. I have the healing but overal i lack a little bit of damage. So the battle is long and i end needing at least to use healing pots.
Socerer keep later for Ursena, Rogue keep for now, maybe for Brynhild. Trainer also keep for now.
It depend on needs and rosters, as for me,… I plan to continue until +20, because I can’t wait to use it with mana troop lvl 11. My current mana troop is only lvl 17, so to go jump to lvl 23 is too long to wait.
And other factor are my AW coordinate tank color is purple, and Ursena is my tank. And I do not have Mitsuko or any other good Socerer heroes, except Sabina.
So, I think in your case you have a choice… Ursena and Mitsuko both are great offense reflect, IMO if I were you I would split Ursena, Mitsuko and Almur.
After resetting emblems from Sabina, she turned out to be the weakest link, couldn’t save her from a single shot from Dom, from there she left a vacuum of the team-wide healing. Though no item used, thanks to Brynhild for holding her flanks till the end.
Since last time, I stripped emblems from Scarlett +11 and gave them to Brynhild. I think Brynhild is more broadly useful than Scarlett, who I only use on green titans for her high tile damage. Otherwise, this is the same crew as last time, and it works well.
I played the mob waves conservatively, since recharging Skittles in particular feels like it takes forever. The mobs don’t do that much damage anyway, so it wasn’t an issue. Entered the boss wave with all specials charged and a blue diamond on the board. Targeted Boss Skittleskull and, thanks to several red tiles, came this close to killing her before she fired, but not to be. Remembered to bring bear banners (cheaper to make) instead of antidotes to deal with the attack down. Boss Skittleskull went down, and I planned to go after Boss Scarlett next, but a wicked cascade did a number on Boss Domitia, so I didn’t look that gift horse in the mouth. Saving Scarlett for last works just as well. Only used a couple of bear banners to mitigate the inconvenience of attack down, and nobody died.
Rogue emblems will go to Brynhild once my food recovers from starting HA 9 research. Sorcerer emblems are piling up without a worthy candidate to give them to. Most likely will go to Quintus, but I plan to do some pulls in October for Gefjon, and if I were to land Almur in the attempt, then he would jump to the front for sorcerer emblems. Trainer hero to Raffale.
Same team as last time, used a few items to keep Kiril alive. This was my worst trial, might still be too, need to level more sorcerers and rogues. For now the overheal on this team usually gets me to the end alive though.
I brought Danzaburo +1 for no other reason than I could. Used him on stage 2 & 3, had a different team sans Danza for Stage 1. 5 specials: 4 flakes, 1 bottle Some days …
