[Feb 13, 2019] Trials of Shadows Teams – Share Yours & Discuss!

This was definitely the hardest one for me so far. Good thing I started power-leveling Danzaburo, Kelile, and Skittleskull when classes came out because otherwise I would’ve only had 2 heroes to use!

I did have to rely on dragons and bombs for the final boss since Danzaburo kept freezing up, but I made it through.

I dont have a leveled-up Sabina, so i didnt have a healer available for this trial. Fortunately Thoth and Musashi both manage their own HP. To them I added Jackal, Marjana and Khiona (who also heals herself and Thoth). Pretty easy—would have been easier but Domitia evaded four specials in a row.

Just finished the last stage: Sabina, Scarlett, Danzaburo, Jahangir and 1/1 Jill-Ra.

I’ve cleared it with Danza(64/4), Kelile(30/4), Quintus(47/3), Sabina(70/4) and Gill-Ra(50/3).
Currently force feeding my Scarlett to replace Gill-Ra next time, though I must say Gill was nice against the atk debuffs.

I’m just glad that Shadow trials was so late, otherwise I couldn’t have trained the rouges as far.

This was the worst for me too, and quite long.
Ideally this is the trial you want to have someyhing like 3 full Jackals, but probably only big spenders can do that.

My 2 Skittles - Quintus - Sabina - Jackal (all maxed) don’t had great problems to survive, but at the same time don’t have much dps (2 purples against Domitia, 2 Skittles against Scarlett) so it takes some time even if i get the best board on trials so far.

A Kelile -Scarlett - Marjana trio is another good way to deal with this quest.

Am glad I didn’t take my 3 jackals as it was pretty annoying trying to keep him alive. Morgan killed bosses slowly but there was no way they were ever dying on this quest

I had to use skittle, marjana, kelile, domitia and quintus. With only Marjana and Kelile maxed.
First two were easy as always. Last stage was a bit tricky but kept them all alive and nuked the bosses with items.
This is hardest trial so far

This wasnt easy, i had: Scarlett 3/60, Domitia 3/70, Skittle 4/70, Domitia 2/60, Skittle 3/60 lol strangest team ever, team power was like 31xx something, used 5 bombs and 3 axes attacks plus some healing.

Anyone know the HP of the bosses in the first stage? Lolling at my rogues and sorcerors.

EDIT: According to my alt they both have 1228 health.

Dawa 3^50
Kelile 4^70+2
Quintus 3^40
Scarlett 3^55
Sabina 2^18

Less than optimal, especially on the healing side because Sabina was under leveled and would’ve acted as the same role as Melendor for his whole party heal. So protection for her is priority. Dawa, was actually wipe out in the first mob after the enemies seem to have singled her out. I didn’t bring Carver because last time he was a disaster, and didn’t bring Graymane because I can’t trust him to keep up his own health. And of course this board has to be Green/Blue friendly, go figure.

Two bosses that can dodge specials at a semi high clip. Not good odds that I will be able to rely on my specials to deal with them. As evident that at least 3 of 4 of my Kelile / Scarlett snipes were dodged. Board being unfriendly to anything but Green/Blue and Sabina now being the weakest link means I have to finish the battle fast. So I had to use a bit more Dragon/Bomb than I normally would like, at least they can’t evade those.

Every time I see them dodge a special like Agents dodging bullets in the matrix, I kind of just wanted to quote Trinity when she says “Dodge this” and fired on the agent at point blank range.

This trial and the previous one (Mysticism) is evident that I really needed to get Sabina up and running pronto, at least she was usable this time, last time she was 1^1.

For some bizarre reason the game hardly gives me purple heroes. I still don’t have Sabina and Rigard, which is really annoying for class quests. Had to do this one without a healer. My rogues and sorcerers are so weak though, that I could only beat medium anyways. In the end immortal Morgan Le Fay killed the last boss in a duel :slight_smile: (Even without Morgan I could have easily bombed my way through medium, but it was more stylish that way - and cheaper.)

Team

Same team except tinier 4* 3.60 Sabina, 5* 2.60 Thoth-Amon ( I love minions for class quests), and no Skittleskull so I brought Guardian Jackal.

I considered Peters at 4* 3.60 but decided his special skill was not worth green being weak against several bosses and one of the mob colors.

In the end used 3x antidotes, and attacks - 3x dragon, 2x bomb, with only Sabina 4* 3.60
dying.

Scarlett 4*+3, Kelile 4* 3.60, Guardian Jackal 4* 4.61, Thoth-Amon 5* 2.60 and Sabina 4* 3.60 .

Colorless

Actually all A.I. Damage, except minions, is colorless. So all A.I. Attacks do neutral damage.

That was hard :hushed:

TP was 2578 and relatively weak.

Ameonna died early in the first mob wave.

But with 9 small mana, 20 small health, 5 axes and 5 bombs I finally did it with a little bit of board luck when facing Scari, Skittles and Domi.

Danza fired 5 times, shielded me twice and was frozen only once. Very lucky also here.

Scarlet and Skittles fired once, Domitia twice.

First two stages were easy, third became a real challenge…

You’re in good company, i dont have any 4* dark heroes, this ish is incredible, no Tib no Sab no Rigard, nothing, but i have 2 Domitias :joy: [my only 5* dark hero too].

I recently got Domitia, too. Also my only 5* purple hero :slight_smile:
I even thought about doing an elemental summoning to finally get those purple healers. But I still hope to get them from TC20 or Atlantis one day.

Yeah thats my hope too, i’ve recently maxed a second TC, i really lack on greens [i have two Skittles and 2 Melendors lmao but recently got a Kashhrek] and i definitely lack on purples. Its ridiculous not having a 4* dark hero :no_mouth:

Definitely a good time for the Rummy quote about going to war with the army you have, not the army you might want.

I completed the final level. Now it’s time to go restock on Dragon Bones…

Which reminds me.

People, use your forge now, so you are not rushing this Sunday ( Gryphonknight scurries off to follow his own advice ).

As it doesn’t take nearly as long to upgrade or non-feeder training sessions, Forge is often a forgotten part of the base that frequently open for business.

As a practice, I “almost” always recraft whatever significant item(s) I used in the previous event stage, Titan, Trial, Quest, etc. after I am done so I would have some supply built up (provided that I have the ingredients of course). Also, this may be just habit, for things that are usually in shorter supply than others, even if I may have enough ingredients to craft more, I almost always only craft in small batches of 2-3 (like Dragon Attack, for example) even though I might have enough ingredients to craft like 20. Most likely because the ingredients could be shared with other notable items I don’t want to end up crafting too much of something and do not have enough ingredients to craft something else that I suddenly come up in short supply of. I can’t remember exactly what item requires what, but I know there are certain ingredients that I am almost in short supply of (Firestone is a good example).

I craft in small batches, then play some levels, gather some ingredients, then craft some small batches again.
