Announcing Special Quests: Trials of the King

FIT FOR A KING

How did the Black Panther become the Black Panther? Like those who came before him, he proved himself in a set of rites meant to test all aspects of his body and mind; The Trials of the King. Thanos’ growing power casts a dark shadow across the Battlerealm, and King T’Challa finds himself reflecting on the lessons of the Trials now more than ever. After communion with the Panther God Bast, T’Challa knows what he must do. All leaders are only as good as their weakest ally. T’Challa must know that you are capable of doing what must be done. You must prove yourself in the Trials of the King.

WE ON NOW

Trials of the King is the collective name of 7 different Daily Quests. Starting on January 31st at 10AM PST, the first Trial of the King - called the Trial of Heart - will become available for 24 hours.

Like M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab, Trials of the King will have ENTRY LIMITS. Unlike M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab however, ONLY ONE DIFFICULTY of Trials of the King can be played every day. This means 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. More details on enemies and Buffs are below, but the theme of each day is as follows:

Day 1: Trial of Heart - Fights that focus on Regeneration and Degeneration (mostly regen).
Day 2: Trial of Time - Fights that focus on time limits and time-based effects.
Day 3: Trial of Resilience - Fights that focus on defensive abilities.
Day 4: Trial of Spirit - Fights that focus on Power Gain and Power Drain.
Day 5: Trial of Wisdom - Fights that focus on changing the normal flow of battle.
Day 6: Trial of Strength - Fights that focus on high damage.

Whichever difficulty you complete will always award you with an ESSENCE. Essences are mode specific Boosts that will grant you powerful effects on the seventh day: The Trial of the Infinite. The Trial of the Infinite is a collection of 6 fights - one from each of the previous 6 days, and will allow you to play EACH DIFFICULTY ONCE. It also has increased rewards when compared to the previous 6 days (details on that below). After the 7th day, the cycle resets. This will occur 4 times, with the final Trial of the Infinite concluding on February 28th at 10:00 AM PST. Here’s a handy diagram to plot this out:

WALKTHROUGH

That’s a lot of stuff, so let’s go through what a week might look like, step by step.

Day 1 - Trial of Heart appears and you decide to play Expert difficulty:

You complete the map, and receive the reward, including that day’s Essence - the Essence of
Heart:

Day 1 has now been completed. If you quit out of the quest you entered, however, you will lose the opportunity to obtain the Essence for that day (as well as any other rewards).

Repeat this Process on days 2 through 6:

When Day 7 appears, you will be able to enter each difficulty once:

These fights WILL be harder, but rewards will also increase. In these quests, you will be able to activate your Essences from Days 1-6 to give you an edge. Essences only last 30 minutes however, so make sure to use them when it counts!

And that’s it! Once the Trial of the Infinite is complete, the Trial of Heart will return and a new 7-day cycle will begin!

I love these events but now since 5*’s are much more common you guys need to make these a lot harder. I enjoy a good challenge & these aren’t in the least bit hard any more, please make them difficult for r4/5 5*’s not 5/50’s(still easy with them) I remember the Coulson event was so difficult I miss that!

Why would you even say that? Lol just to start drama? There is literally no sense to this unless of course if you want to be a spendor and want to weed out nonspendors... either use lower champs or don't play weaker content.. or if you're just too good for this game and it's all so easy go play something else I guess. Why go hard and grind you're brains out for best champs and cats to to rank them if not to make content easier? How to make you happy???

Again with the idiotic 50% chance of a sig stone crystal. You are aware how imbalanced this is right, with 5* signature levels being so valuable? Some people will just get way more sigs and prestige increase than others via pure luck, again. Rewards for these type of quests should never ever be random

I think your overreacting just a little bit in regards to how valuable 1 sig level is for a 5*.

No player is going to get them everyday the event runs, it will end up being pretty evenly spread

1 is not, but 20 is. It would only end up being evenly spread if there were infinite runs, which there are not. Some people will get like 20 of them, and some will get 5

What does the "Prey on the weak" node do?

Thatweirdguy

"WE ON NOW" that heading made me cringe and really made me uncomfortable. I do not know why you would assume that would be the vernacular used by the people of Wakanda

DJRipster

The fact that you are giving a chance (even if it was a small one) to win a new champ like Killmonger off a monthly quest is amazing...

very interesting mechanic, looking forward to trying it out

Whoever made the Wisdom day nodes, you are pure evil and I hope you know that

That's been a node before. I remember Elektra having it in an Act 4 quest.

I am well aware of this, and the expert difficulty has it with Bane. This pure evil

Just hit while they are stunned and you will never see the effect of that node...

Yessssss!!

This sounds awesome! Love the trials concept!

It’s mystic dispersion, gains power when beneficial effects expire

Kabam Miike please tell me hulk is coming feb 1 before killmonger..it’s the last feautred hero we can use 15k on and he looks like a heavy damage dealer opposed to killmonger who looks more defensive

Honestly, it's just a reference to a Vince Staples song used in several of the official Black Panther movie trailers. If you're not a fan of that, you probably aren't going to like Killmonger's arena names...

Will the boost remain or will they expire on the 7th day? I.e can I store them maybe and use 3 stacks of each boost in week 3 for example?

Did you have 5* R4 when coulsons came out?

Did anyone?

Do these challenges with the same champs you used for coulsons, problem solved.

I can appreciate that, but I would bet almost anything that while some very tiny minority of players want the challenge to be harder, the vast overwhelming majority of players would rather it be easier, even if the rewards were lower. I doubt you would be happy if the developers put this to a vote.

That's Awesome Guys

Too much work for a chance at a 4*

Yup. 3 fights. So much work. Don't do it. It's not even a game. It's just work...

You can keep them, because they won't expire, but you won't be able to use more than one of the same boost at a time. For instance, you won't be able to use 3 Essence of Heart at once. Just like other boosts in the game.
