I got nothing. I guess the enemy wins by Summer Knight or Glitterclaw? Conceptually, I don’t like the idea of changing the enemy teams, but here we are. The player team is also a bit of a mess, where Queen Titania needs to be in 2nd slot or get blocked on both colors… Might just be a kingdom problem though ---

Just be grateful that the epic trials become doable. 😅 I sometimes think it would be enough to switch player and enemy teams but I really don’t mind them changing both. It’s still a little tough most of the time but not unbearable to the point of edge quitting. And I always consider that there are lower level players who want to give it a try, and that the devs want us to spend our gems on the pets. 😉 ---

Ha, I realized it just now about changed trial teams - Florian drains mana. 3/4 enemies are immune to mana drain and the one that can be drained is…stealthy. Apart from maybe acting as a weak meat sheld, Florian’s utility value is precisely 0. Clap! Clap! Clap! ---

What’s the use of Florian? Three of enemy’s troops are immune to mana drain, and the fourth one is stealthy. Edit: Also, the second hint doesn’t seem to coincide with the new player’s team. ![Screenshot_2023-06-19-10-36-01-13_639543440735615bbc36855b9e156373](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/7/a/7a72b862280b54463837fbf9691118695838e36c.jpeg) ---

The funny thing is, I can probably explain what happened. They did one last minute check between posting the News Post and the Epic Trials going live (since I quoted an older version of the changed enemy team) and saw that Summer Knight + King Oberon life gain enchant loop would probably outpace a lot of lower stat players and decided to revamp it to an even weaker team that was specifically vulnerable to Faerie Fire … but forgot to double back to make sure the player team still made sense. I don’t know if Florian would have helped much against King Oberon’s Enchant, but at least it technically worked there. I feel for whoever had to change the team composition though. Every non-faction troop in Bright Forest is some combination of Red or Green or Purple besides Brownie and The Star. (the Purple non-Red or Green troop has 3 troops: Cat Sith, Catterfly, and… Florian). lol to say the least. ---

> [@Jeto](#): > > **Trial Changes** > > We will be changing the Player team for Trials in Bright Forest to the following: > > - Summer Knight > - Queen Titania > - Leprechaun > - Florian In general it is fantastic that you look at the trial teams, but not so much when there is a completely useless troop on the playerteam. Sorry I can’t see the team old team because I have completed all normal trials- maybe it is somehow an improvement to the old team? Florian drains mana, however 3 out of 4 enemy troops have “Mana Shield”, only exception is Brownie, but he can not be targetted unless he is the only troop left… ![Collage_2023-06-19_09_50_57](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/a/e/aef19ed2b8dfd5a7517f21f331e5007e3e33253a.jpeg) ---

Despite having a completely useless troop, the epic trial is quite straightforward with summer knight’s ability to gain attack and barrier ---

Even though it doesn’t really matter, if Florian is there, I was quite lucky to have him. Despite being in the last spot, he has been attacked the most. So I could focus on the other 3 troops instead. Didn’t even read the hints or change anything. Just went with a similar technique to last time. Buff is the stuff and Titania the cherry on top, while Leprechaun is one of the best troops in the game anyway. Side note. Still no Fountain of Stars for me and none of my guild mates found it yet (this time). Is it really in the current drop pool? ---

> [@Hayabusa](#): > > Side note. Still no Fountain of Stars for me and none of my guild mates found it yet (this time). Is it really in the current drop pool? It’s also an old campaign mythic, similar to the Kurandara that went missing two weeks ago. I’m beginning to wonder if there might be a pattern there. If anyone manages to pull a Fountain of Stars, please post. ---
