> We will be changing the Player team for Trials in Broken Spire to the following:
> 
> - Volcanic Golem
> - Terraxis
> - Sulfur Slime
> - Sheggra
> 
> With the Epic Trials happening this week, we wanted to give a team that would perform better at higher levels. We have also changed the Enemy Team to:

Oh hey, we’re not in Wild Plains anymore.

Old Player Team:  
Fire Beetle  
Flame Troll  
Flame Rhynax  
Pyrophemus

Old Enemy Team:  
Lava Troll  
Terraxis  
Pyggra  
Sheggra

No matter what happens, the new player/enemy team has to be better than the old setup. The old set up was bad.

Unfortunately, Volcanic Golem is Red/Brown and Sheggra is Red/Brown, and the entire Player Team is Red. Very far from a useable Guild Wars team 😛 I chalk it up to Broken Spire being a terrible Kingdom even after the rework. It’s just missing everything at this point.

Lucky for the players, Ogre is a joke. Ettin can do a lucky hit to start, otherwise… well.. I still wouldn’t let it get casts off. Ograk Shaman into Ettin can maybe cause problems and Gog and Gud.. well, it exists, I guess. G&G can hurt.

Players are likely expected to do double skull damage to burning enemies to win, as all 4 enemy troops aren’t immune to burning, somehow.

Unfortunately you’ll have to lug the useless event weapon along for double points.

The loot table for troops in Broken Spire event chests is expected to look like this:

| Chance | Amount | Troop |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 0.11% | 1 | Amarok, Infernus |
| 3.2% | 1 | Gog and Gud, Pyrophemus, Sheggra |
| 12% | 1 | Fire Beetle, Flame Troll, Gob-Chomper, Igneus, Jewelled Golem, Lava Troll, Luther, Pyggra, Rhynaggor, Stone-Biter, Terraxis |
| 21.6% | 1 | Flame Rhynax, Lava Elemental, Lava Worm, Obsidian Golem, Ograk Shaman, Stone Giant, Sulfur Slime, Volcanic Golem |
| 21.6% | 2 | Ettin, Fire Lizard, Ogress, Rhynax |
| 21.49% | 3 | Fire Bomb, Fortress Gate, Ogre |

Unfortunately, event chests have a tendency to be misconfigured, either entirely missing specific mythic troops or containing them at significantly lower than advertised odds. There is no way to know this ahead of spending, and no way to get any kind of refund. If you plan to open event chests, wait till the weekend for the community to find irregularities, this significantly reduces your risk of getting burned.

And they will triple the requirements to close all the portals making a grind fest even more lousy.

If they aren’t trying to push us to quit this Sirrian Forsaken game then I don’t know what they are doing.

@TheIdleOne Not only were the epic trials bad, they were impossible. I’m glad u guys don’t have to go through the absolute hell that us switch users had to. (I had to use a gnome-a-palooza for it because it was that terrible)🤬

The epic trials teams were probably made by an automated program that randomized teams and the devs have to continue to clean up the mess. Who knows what will come next when we have cycled through every kingdom?

Gather round’ everyone as the next chapter of this epic tale is about to unfold! (Cough)\*

The weapon seems interesting by converting yellow gems to doom skulls. Oh, u have to pay for it, lovely. (We have some other options for this already though: onyx blade, archproxy yvendra, enraged kurandara)

I am no psychiatrist, but they seem to have an odd fascination with yellow gems wanting to be skulls.

One day I had a dream Gems of War would choose any other color besides Yellow to skulls/doomskulls/uber doom skulls. It was a nice dream.

Where’s the blue gems to skull/doomskulls love?

Rok’Gar and also Sekhma do skulls, King Bloodhammer converts blue to doom skulls, and Doomed Crossbow does that for the hero?

If you get double points but it takes double points to close then Luck scrolls just got a big nerf and heroism too.

@Jeto Is this one going to be available with bounty event? Never saw it before and not available in soulforge.

It’s definitely a start. Now to convince them to make a non-red troop/weapon that converts blue gems to skulls/doomskulls/uber doomskulls…

Doomed Crossbow (Red)  
Infernal Voyager (Red/Blue)  
Sekhma (Red/Purple)  
King Bloodhammer (Red/Brown)

Rok’Gar the Guardian (Yellow/Brown)

that being said, at least after Voyager, only green is missing a blue to skulls option.

So do we only need to use the Doom weapon in the Doom rooms to get double scoring, am I correct? And we can swap out the weapon in the other rooms without penalty?
