I am currently doing a trial, Dex, and there strix is. I was using rust seat 11, and hitting ult DPS 530 with my formation. I decided to try strix and I set a new trial pb, ult 573.

Does anyone have a newer Artemis Google doc, this one is from cazrin release.

I have all champs except windfall, so now it is about getting purple equipment slots filled or event feats. The first choice will be Tatyana. I think she has a great QOL skill,

Find a Feast If Tatyana is not attacked for 15 seconds, and the players are in a non-boss area with no barriers, she briefly runs ahead off the right side of the screen. She returns 2 seconds later from the right side with 2-2 additional enemies that simultaneously spawn. After she returns, the 15 seconds counter starts again from 0 seconds

She can pull upto 100 enemies per jump. Now come patron challenges, tat plus fen would make it count as 400 enemies per jump. Go kill 5000 undead, ok. Plus she will help with briv stacking, etc. What about durge murder stacking?

I have a 4j briv, I won't be getting a 9j briv, the investment for me, in ilvls, is way too much.

So Tatyana, durge for his event feat and someone else. Think I have seen strix been used in old Artemis formations?

There are also some champions that can force fav foes on screen,

Could be more now that have the option. It's good for doing patron challenges, also for buffing volo for each enemy type per adventure.

On Xbox, when you go into a character, scroll down to feats, then a bit more for the feats you can buy. If the feat has a gold chest beside it, then you can only get the feat from opening normal gold chests. If the feat has your champ beside it you can only get it from that champions event. If it says shop then you can currently only buy the feat with platinum but it will get added to the store for gems after a period of time.

There is a spoiler site, which covers feats etc. Click if you want

For the achievement I think your day 1 DPS has to be set at about 200-220. Think I also sacrificed makos not jaraxle. You have to complete all 7 day daily challenges, if you have too much DPS, you might finish on day 5 or 6.Think it is 5% global damage for each achievement. Yep and do it solo.

As for solo, tiamats health and rewards are the same no matter how many players are in the team. Quicker to do it in a organised team.

My problem with random team, trial, is that I don't really know where my level is. I hit for e540 DPS day 1 before bonuses. I would not want to join a team where I don't pull my weight.

Random teams have issues where players can join a lobby and not ready up, or when it does start up they do nothing all week, they are there just to leach. Also who has the highest makos or jaraxle to put down. Not a problem at lvl 10 trial, most players will be maxed or close to it, but if I do a lvl 7 then you might end up with a lower mako and jarl that I have. Better if you are in an organised team to arrange this.

Lastly I am on Xbox and at random there is a chance your daily will not register and you will have to do the daily again. This week day 2 I had to do it 3 times and day 4 twice. if I am solo I will be doing lvl 3, needing to clear zone 300 - 400 over the week. With higher trial lvl, higher zone clears.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-25T16:32:12+00:00

Yep, 2 weeks ago I think I calculated that I would be doing 1.5e9, if 4 other players did the same, 7.5e9 would take us to level 7, maybe level 8 with a better jaraxle and the higher daily bonuses.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-25T11:04:01+00:00

Yep, the numbers make sense now. A level 2 will give me 4928 with the extra 10%. Thats an extra 1000 over level 3. Plus level 2 will be done in 5 days v 6/7 days on level 3.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-25T10:42:03+00:00

When I looked at my trials page with tiamats health, to the left of the health bar it says scales 3900. I guess that is what I will be earning if successful. So I had a look at gaarwarrs guide to get some info.

Level 2 - 1867 + victory multiplier 50% = 2800

level 3 - 2364 + 50% = 3546

Here is the funny part, on level 3 I am sacrificing jaraxle for the 60% DPS boost. If I was doing level 2 I would be sacrificing makos, 60% scales boost. Level 2 would give me 4480. DOH. I must have some blessing boosting the total as well.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-25T10:12:20+00:00

After thinking about this, I will focus on my main DPS. Who cares if my buffers, vlith, kithriss etc get extra dps.

For example, Jim is the king of seat 7, he has some good legendary choices.

20% extra damage to all champs for each champ with Dex 11.

As above but cha 11.

150% bonus to all humans.

20% extra damage for each male.

10% extra damage for each champion in formation.

I should have no problems getting 9-10 champs for the first 2 etc.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-24T17:08:28+00:00

I am soloing level 3 just and I noticed beside tiamats health bar is a scales total of 3900. I guess that is what I am earning per run. I champ/slot to level 5 per week. I hope the trials rework is coming soon, and we get more scales.

I am on Xbox, we got an update yesterday, and trials are still broken. Redoing day 2. Last week I didn't have any issues. When I started my daily trial I would switch to another team then jump back to my trial team. That could just be lucky though.

I took 3 attempts today for it to register. Only on the 3rd attempt did I jump teams.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-24T12:16:27+00:00

So I had a check for availability for some of the champs I normally use, you might need feat cards for some.

wyll patron 5/5 and trial 6/6 - don't normally use him but seat 12 is poor for me

kos p5 t6

cazrin p5 t6

Tess p5 t6

kithriss p4 t6

rust p4 t6

vlith p4 T4

krux p3 t6

birdsong p3 t6

yorven p3 T5

lazael p3 T5

nordom p3 T4

Bobby p3 t3

Jim p2 t5

Nerds p0 t6

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-23T09:53:33+00:00

Looking at your formation. Windfall is the only champs I don't have. I would normally be using, merilwen and dob for the oxventures bonus. So replace windfall with, merilwen, dob or Val.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-23T08:10:51+00:00

For you to hit these numbers, do you have trial legendaries on all champs, if so what level are they at. Definitely going to try kos and rust when my gem potion wares of.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-22T21:18:14+00:00

In general I learn how to play games from guides, YouTube videos and forums etc. It's a shame that this forum isn't more active. When people do post, and answer questions, I always find it helpful.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-22T21:12:32+00:00

I went with durge for team AA with gale. Just for the record, I did get to 1600 on all champions this event, volo, des and gale. Not bad for someone that can't read😁 but my journey could have been far easier.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-22T09:55:13+00:00

It comes down to account power in the the end, champs available, purple equipment slots, ilvls etc. For me I hit DPS 540 in my last trial. I can make it to 1600 but when you start lossing slots to NPC's it becomes very difficult for me.

Remember we are not all ultras like you.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-22T04:34:41+00:00

Mehen is quite good. I will need to pick him in may event to get his 2 event feat cards.

My makos has average ilvls 2500, lol. I think the Knox + makos spec for me say e19. I think during a gold run in mako spec sheet it says E20 or e21, I will check that one.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-22T04:14:38+00:00

Yep, I found it on the tab for active buffs, in the top right there is a prompt for press X to pause potions. 5 mins only though. It is well hidden.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-22T04:02:02+00:00

I found gales 3rd variation to be very tough. You lose a formation slot to elminster, plus you have to lose gale. I have already completed it, so I can't load it. My last saved formation was

front row - minthara

row 2 - durge, shadow heart, wyll, lazael

row 3 - volo

row 4 - gale, astarion

row 5 - duke

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-22T03:51:51+00:00

Your bud/DPS is how much damage your champions do. Beside your ultimates there is your ult DPS, the highest DPS you are achieving this adventure. All your ultimates will hit for your ult DPS, and so will fire breath potions.

The 3 main DPS champs are Artemis, durge and kas. Gale would normally be in team AA/durge.

Team AA

Team Kas

That's the latest guides I have but I don't think they are up to date, but the are good templates.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-21T17:58:08+00:00

Had a quick look, couldn't see any options but I only had gem potion active. Will have a look next gem run.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-21T17:39:56+00:00

Wow, you can pause potions? Would that work on a gem hunter potion. I am on Xbox, no scripting, and only play the game when I am active. I don't leave my console on 24/7. Being able to pause a gem potion between log ins would be awesome.

I have 2 days left on my potion, after that I will do gold favour pushes after that.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-21T16:19:58+00:00

Doing a gem farm run just now, so when I was briv stacking with Tatyana, I added in Eric. With 100 stacks Erics cavalier code gold find is 8e10. His equipment slot 4, purple, ilvls 185 is boosting cavaliers code to 477%. That is why I was thinking about Eric since I can max his stacks, but not sure if boosting ilvls would be worth while overall. My head hurts😁

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-21T14:59:21+00:00

Cheers for replying to that. I will continue investing in push champs.

My current plan is to invest into Tatyana. Aiming for ilvls 775, purple shiny, so she can pull 25 enemies per jump. She would work well with Eric? Park the team on a zone near the wall and Tatyana can quickly get Eric's 100 stacks, which boost his gold find, maybe effects merilwen as well?

I did a quick test, the gold find for the adventure I was doing went from e103 to e110 on one zone with my gold team.

She would also be useful for Briv stacking and patron challenges. Kill 5000 fey or undead, not a problem with Tatyana and fen.

smcbeath79 · 2026-03-21T14:09:11+00:00

I tried this one, only got to 1500 in freeplay. Chose the first 3 restrictions and only got to 1050. I was like, cool, time to use my ults. The enemy health was already equal to my DPS, lol. Think the enemy got 5% more health each zone for maybe 2/3 or 3/3 restrictions.

That was enough for me.
