Embark on the epic adventure of Legend Trial in AFK Journey, a daunting battle mode that tests the skills of even the most seasoned players. This multilevel mission spans 360 levels, pitting players against a variety of foes with limited units. For newcomers to AFK Journey, mastering strategic troop management is key to conquering the Tower Floors.
Unraveling the Legend Trial Battle Mode
In AFK Journey, Legend Trial presents a tower climb battle mode where players engage in four distinct towers, each aligned with one of the four primary Factions. With 90 levels per tower, the challenges escalate in difficulty but also in rewards. This mode becomes accessible once a player reaches AFK Stage 160 or higher.
Unlike the Arcane Labyrinth, Legend Trial maintains progression without reset and lacks competitive leaderboards. Players view this mode as a complementary progression path to AFK Stages, offering more autonomy in participation timing.
Comparable to AFK Arena's King's Tower, which featured 1,000 ascending floors, Legend Trial in AFK Journey mirrors this engaging mechanic from the developers' previous RPG.
Here are the key elements and workings of this mode:
Decoding the Towers
Legend Trial comprises four Towers: Light, Will, Nature, and Eternity, each corresponding to a distinct Faction excluding Celestials and Hypogeans, namely Lightbearers, Maulers, Wilders, and Graveborns.
Each Tower follows a specific schedule:
- Tower of Light: Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays
- Tower of Nature: Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays
- Tower of Eternity: Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays
- Tower of Will: Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays
Understanding Factions
Tower titles denote the exclusive Faction deployment rule: Heroes from the designated Faction must be enlisted. The Tower of Light mandates Lightbearers, Tower of Will features Maulers, Tower of Nature showcases Wilders, and Tower of Eternity permits only Graveborns.
Rewards System
Legend Trial rewards participants with Acorns and Hero Essence. Defeating five enemies yields Acorns, while vanquishing ten results in Hero Essence rewards. Advanced stages offer Tidal and Temporal Essences crucial for Exclusive Weapon enhancements.
Optimizing Team Compositions for Each Tower
Given the Faction restrictions per Tower, leveraging META Heroes from each Class is logical. However, players can strategically experiment with non-META synergies in Legend Trials. Consider these team compositions for each Tower:
- Tower of Light: Lucius, Vala, Rowan, Mirael, and Korin. Alternatively, for enhanced defense, opt for Lucius, Temesia, Rowan, and Walker (or Marilee).
- Tower of Will: Brutus, Antandra, Smokey, Odie, and Seth. Or, for agility focus, consider Koko, Kruger, Rhys, Antandra, and Seth.
- Tower of Nature: Bryon, Damian, Granny Dahnie, Lyca, and Eironn. For increased DPS, explore Arden, Florabelle, Hewynn, Kafra, and Eironn.
- Tower of Eternity: Cecia, Thoran, Niru, Igor, and Silvina. Alternatively, consider Cecia, Thoran, Igor, Salazer, Viperian.
Expert Tips for Swift Tower Triumphs
Prior to engaging in Legend Trial, consider the following strategies:
- Utilize Spells Strategically: When essential tech heroes are absent, such as healers in the Tower of Eternity, compensate by leveraging Battle Spells like Starshard Spell to bolster team HP and cover for support hero deficiencies.
- Experiment with Compositions: Team setups play a vital role in triumphing in Legend Trial matches. Given the compact arenas, adjusting troop positions significantly impacts outcomes. Before conceding defeat on a challenging floor, experiment with various compositions and positioning adjustments to trigger favorable results.
- Focus on Hero Unlocking: Ascension status carries over in Legend Trials, with enemy base levels tied to the participant's Resonance Level. Rather than solely upgrading heroes, prioritize unlocking a diverse array of heroes to expand battle options, facilitating swifter enemy conquests.
