Announcing: Trials of the Mad Titan

The gaze of the Mad Titan Thanos is upon the Battlerealm

In the final desperate hour, the Summoners and Champions of The Contest must band together to stop the destructive invasion of the Mad Titan, Thanos. As the power of the six Infinity Stones corrupts the Battlerealm, the only hope is to cling to the fragments of power left behind by his actions, and use them to crush his armies.

Strike Back Against Thanos!

Trials of the Mad Titan is name of the set of 7 Different Daily Quests. The First Trial of the Mad Titan, the Trial of Genesis, kicks off on April 25th at 10 am PT, and will run for 24 hours. The Event will end at 10 am PST on June 6th.

You must update to version 18.0 to be able to participate in the event.

If you remember Trials of the King, you’re already familiar with the format of these Quests. If you aren’t, then read on!

Like M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab, Trials of the Mad Titan will have ENTRY LIMITS. Unlike M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab however, ONLY ONE DIFFICULTY of Trials of the Mad Titan can be played on days 1-6. 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 Genesis - 3 Fights that focus on manipulation of life and Debuffs.
Day 2: Trial of Evolution - 3 Fights that focus on defensive transformation.
Day 3: Trial of War - 3 Fights that focus on offensive aggression.
Day 4: Trial of Chaos - 3 Fights that focus on unpredictable outcomes.
Day 5: Trial of Nightmare - 3 Fights that focus on lingering Debuffs and creeping Power Gain.
Day 6: Trial of Death - 3 Fights that focus on stolen life and dangerous Debuffs.

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 Omniscience. The Trial of the Omniscience, 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.

For a detailed step by step on the mode, check out our post on the Trials of the King here.

Q&A

How much energy do these quests cost?

Easy: 1 Energy Per Step
Medium: 2 Energy Per Step
Hard: 3 Energy Per Step
Expert: 4 Energy Per Step

Is there a time limit on the quests?

Outside of the 24 hour timer before the next quest spawns, no.

What is an Essence?

Essences are mode specific Boosts, similar to previous mode specific boosts like Soul Boosts, Essences give you powerful new abilities or enhance existing abilities, but can only be used in Trial of Omniscience.

What do the Essences do?

Day 1: Essence of Genesis The attacks of your Champions restore Health equal to 15% of the damage they inflict. In addition, the effects of all enemy healing abilities are reversed.

Day 2: Essence of Evolution Whenever your Champions fill a bar of Power, increase their Attack, Critical Resistance, Critical Rating, Block Penetration, Power Rate, and Ability Accuracy by 10%, up to a maximum of 60%.

Day 3: Essence of War Your Champions become Unstoppable for 5 seconds after activating a Special Attack if they aren’t already Unstoppable. Enemies lose 25% Block Proficiency.

Day 4: Essence of Chaos
The Critical Hits of your Champions inflict Debuffs at random. Being struck by a Critical Hit grants Buffs at random.

Day 5: Essence of Nightmare Whenever a Bleed, Incinerate, Shock, or Degeneration Debuff expires on your Champions, they recover 3% Health instantly.

Day 6: Essence of Death
Your Champions have a 14% chance to instantly knock out enemies that have 13% Health or less remaining. In addition, when your Champions are struck by lethal damage, instead of being knocked out, they remain at 1 Health for 4 seconds.

Can I use Essences anywhere except the Trial of Omniscience?

No. Essences are meant to be collected on Days 1-6, and then used ONLY on day 7.

Can you activate more than one essence at a time?

Yes, you will want to use them all and then do the Trial of Omniscience if you want to succeed as easily as possible.

What if I miss a day?

Too bad. You can still play subsequent days but you won’t get the rewards from the day you missed, and this includes the Essence.

Which enemies can we expect to fight and what Buffs will the be on?

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 Omniscience has Champions and Buffs from each of these days, with increased rank and levels.

What are the 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, like M.O.D.O.K.’s Lab, on Day 1-6):

Each Boss Fight also includes a chance to award either Premium Hero Crystals or an "Ultimate Infinity War" Crystal. Those are rare though! It won’t be unheard of for a Summoner to complete every day of the event and never see a single Ultimate Infinity War Crystal!

What a load of whiners.

Thanks for giving us free shards Kabam. The Trials were ALOT easy on the time consumption compared to Modok's Lab.

@Jh_Dez @Swe_wolfis im guessing its gonna be like valour and we might have a infinity dust store where u can spend ur infinity dust like u were able to spend ur valour (4 star crystals and 3 star crystals and lots more)

I'm getting a Rockets Scrapyard feel from them, but yeah, hopefully something where we can pick and choose rewards.

Neowantsyou

Kabam have been a roll with the content, not with the bug fixes tho...

Spurgeon14

Content keeps getting harder and rewards aren't getting better. Keep up the great work Kabam!

Knightarthus

This is one of the best quests formats out there. Once a day one difficulty that suites your level. Something to do and time prudent. Great choice

DarkestDestroyer

I think it’s unreasonable to moan about the rewards until we see what Infinity dust is.

Now if it’s for a store and it’s 2mil worth for a 5* crystal we can moan.

But hopefully prices will be reasonable, then again collecting 20k a day it could be a lot.

If there's an entry limit, why is there also an energy requirement? Curious about the designers' decision to double gate the event.

Dr. Zola

I’m curious, what’s your rationale behind why it’s bad to have an energy requirement and a limit to enter? I understand it’s double gating, but still not sure why you think this.

Don’t mean to imply it’s good or bad, although it does require additional resources.

I’m simply interested in knowing why they decide to run some limited entry events with zero energy requirements (Modok Labs) and others with both limited entry and energy requirements (Trials, rifts) and still others with limited energy requirements and no limited entry (one-off special quests). To me, Trials resembles the Modok Labs more than it does rifts or anything else.

There’s probably some calculus based on rewards, difficulty, frequency, duration, etc. Or maybe they just want to sell refills, I don’t know. Ultimately, it doesn’t really affect me since I will likely run them until it doesn’t move the needle sufficiently, but it seems like the approaches to requirements for special events is more ad hoc than rational.

That’s all.

3 fights of 1 difficulty per day. Not new except for the fact that they are limiting us because of the farming that has gone on in other events like this. Typical kabam...rerun the same stuff but make sire we get less out of it.

Isn't this the same restriction that was on Trial of the Panther? How are we getting less from it than we did when we did the Panther Trials?

Anyone else having trouble viewing reference pictures? I certainly am.

So no t5b, no t2alpha, no 6* shards....

And i cant see any gold either.

So not really aimed at endgame community. Nice chunk of 5* rewards but i can grind more than that in an arena if needed. Another way to get 5* champ... which i wont have gold to rank up without a boring arena grind. Where is the challenge? Where is the thrill for endgame players.

Come on kabam. Would it have hurt so much to chuck a few endgame resources in.

Let's do this 💪🏻

How much rateing recommended for trails

StavelotXote

Why does the video from your game's twitter account have all difficulties showing as open with 1 entry allowed for each type of daily event? This is confusing @Kabam Miike

Rap

There has never been a crew so bent on overworking everyone including themselves. Instead of adding and adding how about this idea? Build in some "replay" worthiness by adding decient random ambush and chest drops to the quest lines.

Man_Bat

The format of Trials of the King has been my favourite in recent months. It doesn't take too much time or energy, and the rewards-to-effort ratio is high and predictable.

M.O.D.O.K's Lab has good rewards but takes too much time.

Chaos Rifts has unpredictable rewards regardless of how much time you put in collecting Chaos Shards, i.e., the most active person in an alliance could accrue enough shards for 4 Master rifts and get shafted with 4 1-star chests while the least active person could do only 2 Master rifts and still get the top prizes. There's no motivation for someone to do this event.

But if you can complete all the Expert Trials you will get (not might get) 15,000 5-star shards plus other stuff. Those are very good rewards for essentially a mini daily side quest.

No t2a fragments 😞
Want more resources to rank up our champs

Rap

There are players in here who could and did rush all the material and have no reason to go back and repeat it and they now have little to do so new content has to be pushed out routinely. But they don't remember every fight and every champ so if they played it again it would be "like" new and if they choose not to replay...well...as someone pointed out ya gotta pick and choose.

Kabam Miike

We're seeing lots of questions about the Infinity Dust and Infinity Dust Store. We've just posted a breakdown of the items you can find in store, as well as an approximate breakdown of where you'll find the Dust you need to get those items here: http://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/64463/infinity-dust-and-the-infinity-dust-store/

Not in the Trials themselves, but check out the post I just made (comment above this one) on the Infinity Dust Store.

@Kabam Miike
Are the calculations off?
Trials of the Mad Titan seems to be running for 6 weeks. 6/7 days in a week it gives 30k dust, and the final day 70k. That adds up to 250k per week. 6 weeks means a total of 1.5mil. The new post on infinity dust says Trials can earn you 2mil.

Don't forget that you can run all 4 Difficulties on the last day. I probably need to reword that part though, because it only mentions Master Difficulty for all of them.

If you run all 4 Difficulties on the last Day, you'll be scoring about 150,000 just on Day 7 alone!

Miike - can you make sure I pull a tech 5* awakening gem. Much love!
