Take on the Trials of the Elementals!

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!

Umm, I think it may be just me, but these boost don't seem to be working.

android users still cant play this.

can we get an ETA on this mods?

Hey Summoners,

We're currently looking into making changes to the very first node in the Epic Level Trial of the Alchemist. The very first fight makes us of the Masochism buff, and while the "Essence of Darkness" reverses healing, it's actually making this fight much harder than it should be because of the way that it interacts with Masochism.

We're going to be removing Masochism from the Node ASAP. If you have not started this fight, we suggest either waiting until we have removed Masochism, or not using the Essence of Darkness until you pass this fight.

We will look into how this affected Summoners that attempted the Trials before we pushed this change later this week.

I don't see day 7 and can't even play it.

imShakib

When is the android update coming? Already a day gone.

I'm confused, doesn't Masochism cause the enemy to eat a debuff and get an instant regen? So if Essence of Darkness reverses it, they'd eat the debuff and lose health, which sucks if you rely on debuffs but I don't see how it interacts with EoD in a bad way. I can't play it yet because the update hasn't dropped yet, but can someone explain this?

imShakib

Seriously, is there any compensation for not being able to play at all? For not being able to upgrade?

Too late. I thought there was an issue when I was doing that fight, but did make it through. It was tough though. Guess that will teach me to try to get things done too fast.

ZzSkyWaveszZ

Very very late. I alrdy starte and i ended quest cause i couldn't complete and my boosters ended only thebooster which use sps and make unblockable was working and it was very tough.

Masochism eats the debuff (essentially voiding it) so the reverse healing doesn’t work. Basically masochism was programmed to nullify the reverse healing upon being triggered and then they would regen like normal. At least that’s what I’ve gathered.

Amonthir

Yeah, my sub account went into Epic, and had a Mephisto on the first node. He was healing constantly, and since it was my first fight, I had no idea if the reverse heal part was permanent, a passive, active debuff, etc. Had to quit out, and go to lesser difficulties.

LiamS1990

Everyone who is on android and can't update yet to play the trials of the alchemist. You don't have a time frame for when this will be sorted. Will we be able to play it when it's sorted even if it's after the expired as we will not have the full time to play it. Also if we can't this seems pretty unfair to all the users who are on android devices as we may miss out on the rewards and the trial because the update isn't live for us @Kabam Miike @Kabam Lyra

Tainted

@Kabam Miike just encountered an iceman who did 8200 coldsnap damage according to the sig and was actually doing more than my r5 blade or ss health pool. I was using all the boosts from the previous days + a 15% health boost. Revived multiple times ending using more than 300 units and then quit.
Great job, guys. It really beats me the way you keep on releasing bugged content.

Come prepared...Trial of the Alchemist sucks at Expert and Epic...the jump is dramatic and I randomly got Abomination and didn't have a poison immune so he wiped out everyone

Shame he isn't a Marvel champion. Double scimitars; Precision, Cruelty and Bleed, and summons Guenhywyvar on SP3...

So we better wait, thanks for the heads up

Why is Miles Moralis healing like CRAZY when I have the reverse healing boost on?

LiamS1990

What's going to happen to every one on android devices who can't update? If you don't have a time frame for when it's finished when will we be able to play it or will we be punished and not be able to play it if you guys can't sort it out in time "@Kabam Miike"

Boosters arent working and tht node is healing infinetly

Agroair

For those of us that started it and ended it because of this. Will we be granted another entry? I used all of the boosts and quit the quest with a dead team and 0 health taken off the defender.

darkklaw

For those that rely on google play store updates , will the event be extended?

BirdReynolds

@Kabam Miike we need some feedback here. I have two guys in my bg that are stuck on the first fight, hundreds of units spent, boosts and items used, but they don’t want to quit and lose a chance at the rewards if it’s fixed. This is delaying their joining AQ now. They have both submitted tickets and neither have received responses.

CoatHang3r

The sig 200 iceman who deals 8k cold snap damage before the 200% champion boost is a bit much when paired with spite and burden of might. You Start the fight 24k hp down just from the coldsnap alone. Did not see that coming.

Shamanriver77

Any news on when android players can expect the update and granted kabam may not be at fault in this instance will there be any allowances given since IOS have now had update close to 20 hours already

Umm, how do we know when it's been removed since we can't go in check and then leave?

Pretty sure everything is working properly - they just didn’t realize that masochism would trigger when reverse heal debuff would trigger which would lead to masochism removing reverse heal and healing them still.

Those who are stuck with this combo before fix and Dont have solid counter you probably want to trigger masochism with a parry right before reverse heal timer comes up since from what I recall reverse heal lasts longer than masochism Cooldown. However if you are reading forums now your buff probably ran out of time

TacoScotty

They need to fix iceman sig level and probably Dorm sig level as well - in heavily boosted attack boost fights you can’t have high sigs on those unless players know for sure what to expect so they can plan accordingly with their team.

PROG73

I understand that this seems to be a Google Play Store issue rather than Kabam but the effect on players is the same. For me, this is my main time to play - I don't know that I will even have the opportunity to play the trial if it is not sorted before my bedtime (GMT) - please @Kabam Miike bear this in mind when considering what allowance to make for android players.

eggista

Still cant play this... :'(
