Take on the Trials of the Elementals!
Kabam Zibiit
Summoners!
The powers of the elements pulse throughout The Battlerealm, each reflecting a Skill or aspect of the Champions who dwell here. You shall be given the rare honor to gather aspects of these Elements and forge them into something new as you face The Trials of the Elementals!
If you remember Trials of the King and Trials of the Mad Titan, you’re already familiar with the format of these Quests. If you aren’t, then read on!
Trials of the Elementals are Daily Quests that occur on a 7 day schedule, where you will collect Elemental Essences on the first 6 days that you can use to empower your team on the 7th Day!
These special event quests will only be available from January 2nd until February 6th!
Like Chilled Challenges and the Occult Labs, these Trials have entry limits, however
only one difficulty of the Trials of the Elementals can be played on Days 1-6
. If you enter Easy difficulty, and either complete or quit that quest, you will have used your entries for all difficulties for that day. In the event that you QUIT the quest, you will also be forfeiting all rewards for that day as well.
For the first 6 days, you’ll be playing through 3 fights in every difficulty, with all those fights having a set of Buffs applied to them that fit the theme of that day.
Day 1: Trial of Wind - Fights that focus on Regeneration and Specials.
Day 2: Trial of Fire - Fights that focus on unpredictable outcomes.
Day 3: Trial of Earth - Fights that focus on high Damage and increased Attacks.
Day 4: Trial of Darkness - Fights that focus on lingering Debuffs and Power Drain.
Day 5: Trial of Water - Fights that focus on Resistance and Adaptation.
Day 6: Trial of Light - Fights that focus on defensive transformation and evasion.
Complete any difficulty of these Trials to earn their respective Essence. Essences are mode specific boosts that
can only be used on Day 7, Trial of the Alchemist, and must be activated from the map screen.
This 7th day features buffs and fights from all 6 elements, plus the Alchemist!
You’ll want to make sure that you complete each day’s Trial, as it will greatly power up your team for the Trial of the Alchemist!
The Encounters
Here is a list of enemies that could appear on each day, and a list of Buffs that they’ll have, separated by difficulty
Trial of the Alchemist has Champions and Buffs from each of these days, with increased rank and levels.
The Essences:
Each of these Essences harbour a powerful buff for your Champions!
Essence of Wind: This Essence periodically triggers an Arc Overload, regenerating the Health of your Champions in a fight.
Essence of Fire: This Essence increases Champion's Attack, Critical Resistance, Critical Rating, Block Penetration, Power Rate, and Ability Accuracy by 10%, up to a maximum of 60% whenever they fill a bar of Power.
Essence of Earth: This Essence makes Champions become Unstoppable for 5 seconds after activating a Special Attack if they aren’t already Unstoppable. Enemies lose 25% Block Proficiency.
Essence of Darkness: This Essence will reverse your opponents healing effects.
Essence of Water: This Essence periodically cycles between building up Physical Resistance and Energy Resistance for your Champions.
Essence of Light: This Essence gives your Champions a Chance to Evade all incoming attacks and leave your Opponent Stunned.
Rewards:
Below is a list of the rewards for each difficulty.
Note that there is a 50% chance to get a signature stone/signature stone crystal on each day, and a 50% chance to acquire varying Tiers of ISO
Additionally, each Boss fight also includes a rare chance to award either Premium Hero Crystal shards, or an Ultimate Elemental Crystal. These are quite rare, and it’s likely that some Summoners will go this entire event without finding one!
What are Raw Elements?
Completing these Trials will award you with Raw Elements which you can trade for a unique, limited-time item in the Store, and Elemental Crystals in the Vault. These Crystals contain items to assist you throughout the Battlerealm. They’ll be available in limited quantities in the Crystal Vault under the Special Tab until February 11, 2019. Be sure to check each Crystal’s description and Drop Rates for their contents!
Activate the Beacon!
A strange Beacon is being added to the Store, and it can only be purchased with Raw Elements. No one really knows what it does, or who it sends a signal to, but missing out on it would mean missing out on one piece of a year long event…
Item Transmutation
It’s not quite turning lead into gold, but during the Trials you’ll be able to harness your inner alchemist by going to the Featured Tab in the Store and combine certain low value items to create a new higher value one! You’ll be able to combine:
Level 1 Health Potions into a Level 2 Health Potion
Level 2 Health Potions into a Level 3 Health Potion
Level 2 Team Health Potions into a Level 3 Team Health Potion
Level 1 Revives into a Level 2 Revive
Level 1 Alliance Health Potions into a Level 2 Alliance Health Potion
Level 2 Alliance Health Potions into a Level 3 Alliance Health Potion
Level 1 Alliance Revives into a Level 2 Alliance Revive
All Transmutations will require 2 of the lower level potion/revive to create the higher level one. For example, you’ll need to combine 2 Level 2 Health Potions to create a Level 3 Health Potion.
Your powers of Alchemy will only allow you to create each of these items 3 times, but that limit refreshes every week between January 2nd and February 6th!
Prepare to face off against the Power of the Elements, Summoner!

And yes the boosts are laughable. They hardly make a difference other than regen a little bit of block damage it’s still if you get hit with a full combo at these nodes you die. And most of the nodes are structured so that you must play absolutely perfectly with the highest ranked champs to stand a chance. That is if you stand a chance at all due to the rng combination of champs being able to ruin your chances right from the start.

Just wanted to leave some feedback that I've just (23rd Jan) gone through a 50k Mordo on cornered and power gain node. The epic difficulty is still beyond reasonable even with maxed out 5 stars.

My team was wrecked by Epic Wasp with all boosts activated and a 20% attack. One crit hit did 76k damage. I was about 10 seconds into the fight. Thanks Kasham for the package you gave out today but it is still broken!!!

Expert = Joke
Epic = Clown Fiesta (CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE)
WHY THE HECK IS EXPERT HARD, i have done all other past trials (thanos and blackpanthers) and not even master/expert was hard this is really dumb
Evangelionlovr
They won't answer. Just chock this event up to being a money grab for the whales and move on.
Kabam catering to Endgame (whales) and beginner players and leaving those of us in the middle completely out to dry. Everything is either way too hard without throwing money at it, or so easy and with mediocre rewards. There is no in-between.

After attempting day 7 of Trails of the Alchemist Epic difficulty, that took place yesterday, I thought Kabam, you must be taking the piss. 52k wasp was a tough challenge with the nodes she had, but I persevered even though her damage was utterly insane!! I managed to get through 3 fights, to then be wiped out. I came across a 47k Iceman, with the buffs he had on him, he was literally an impossible champ!! The coldsnap alone wiped all my guys out in a matter of seconds. Even with all the boosts available to me that I collected throughout the week made no difference whatsoever.. there’s tough challenges , then there are piss taking challenges! Unless you are going to throw stupid money at items it’s a waste of time. I quit the event, no fun at all!! Just a cash grab event for the filthy rich whales
Aquama
I’ve been a huge critic myself. But, seems better after the compensation and maintenance. Maybe it’s just me

Can’t wait till this is over ... hope they do they Chinese new Year gifting event and not role over it using the FF as a excuse or distraction thinks it’s 5th of feb so we shall see what February brings 🙃

Well, I have give my opinion on EPIC trials. Too random, and some parts of it too hard, especially for the rewards. In some parts or with particular random rolls of gamblers fate, or disarry, and the like, along with some particular opponents for that day, the difficulty is straight up BS. I can also tell on this that the AI has been tuned up to be faster and more tricky, than any other content. Blocked damage is very significant as well.
If Act 6 is mostly like this. I'll retire. It will amount to all frustration and no fun. I've never complained about difficulty so far after 2+ years, but this is breaking me. Random opponents with already hard combination of nodes, along with random effects within the fight, set you up for certain failure on particular days, making the rewards a joke in comparison to the difficulty. Some days are too likely to give you conditions that can't be worked around, and out of any of your control, except for revive your way to the end.
Along with the previous, you can't change your team, and no multiple tries. You can't see what you'll face until it's too late, and are locked in. If you get a bad combination, you can revive and try, try, try, or back out with no way of being able to try for those rewards again. ***** I can go with some BS content now and then, when I can back out, regroup, and go back in, but not this. ***** It's, eat the $%!^ sandwich, or don't eat at all. Mmm

Another Iceman in Epic, another instant Exit. Just to show how ridiculous these trials are, this pic show the outcome of my
five star, rank four, duped Magik
fight at the
Expert
(so not the highest!) difficulty level.
WITH
those Trials boost on. Check the number of hits needed to take down Thor Rags:
That's right: over 180. Sorry, but that's getting insane. Also, there are so many weird interactions and so many symbols up, I often have zero idea what is going on
borntohula
At this rate, even players that don't mind spending quite a bit - that includes me - are gonna bail out of hard content, without using a single item, let alone buying any.
As a game developer, you HAVE to sustain the 'illusion' that players are in control. Or could be in control. Losing a fight due to screwing up is fine. Even if that fight is hard, and missing a single intercept causes death.
But once your ability as a player to win any given fight doesn't hinge so much on skills anymore, but on a (cough) random combination of buff/node/champ interactions that is completely out of the player's control, you might as well rebrand the game. In that case, it 'evolves' from a fighting game into a slot machine. A 'generate outcome' button would work just as well, and save everyone valuable time.

Just tried the (what i assume is last day) epic trials -- and i hardly complain on difficulty but this wasn't "difficult" this was a pay wall.
I have no issue spending money on the game. But this was too blatant.
54k KillMonger w/
Resistor
Bane
Rage
Oscillate
100%+Power gain
Power flood
Brawl
200+ shield
You might as well added Caltrops, Unblockable Final, Aggressive regen and debuff immunity.
3 in block hits and youre dead. One hit out of block and youre done.
I was willing to spend some units but after feeling it would take too many i backed out.
Extensively frustrating, especially given the Iceman error this monthly quest.
Kabam says they dont wanna make stupid content -- then continues to make stupid content.
Even running all the event boosts (which is a stupid concept) didnt fix the issue. Its just a few less revives. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
This month trials are bad 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Just like many others here: my opinion of the trials of the elementals is bad. Always knew these non-movie tie up events are as bad as the money pits they were created from.
Destroyer
Now that I have completed my last Epic run in this event I can say that without question this was the most tedious event ever. Not fun at all. Some of the champ/node combos ruined it. You guys have done better side events in the past. I hope that you can look at the data and make some adjustments on the champ/node combos for these kinds of events in the future. Brawl + Oscillate + just about any champ as an example. It just makes for a long, frustrating fight.
Also nodes that punish the player for using boosts that are supposed to help the player. Having to not use a boost for this reason is bad design imo. Regen boost + Spite for example.
Dreggwatz
will the raw elements work for next trial crystals, or will they be useless after february 11th?
Wayntos
This trial was a joke the boost were literally useless.
tkhan08
Worst trials so far. Mostly because of brawl and few other buffd ruined the fights.
