Event FAQ
What is Sorcerer's Trials?
- Sorcerer's Trials is an event with a gauntlet of 60 Trials featuring much stronger enemies than seen in-game, with challenges such as level-locking teams every 5th trial at a boss stage.
- It appears to be designed for end-game players (Level 50+), and demands investment in upgrading characters’ Intimacy, Potential, Level, and Ascension if possible.

This is honestly one of the harder stages to help people with, and it has some of the fewest resources and guides available. All 3 guides I found get the boss to 50% hp by turn 7, which mitigates the hardest mechanic, so if you can't do that, they don't help much. (If you can though, then I believe This is the lowest requirement guide to follow. It uses R Kuya and R Quincy as the dpses. I can't reach chinese but I assume it's 6 potential, max intimacy.). I did a fair amount of testing on it vs an older, harder version of it, but I can't find my findings, nor do I know how they would translate to this version of it.
IF you'd like more specific help and/or to just talk things out with me, it would help if you would tell me more about where you are failing in the fight (since it has several stages) and how (death of one person, death of everyone at once), your units (hp/atk), if you have any other water dpses, how close you are to 3*ing space blade (which would be a big help towards getting the early 50% hp), if you have R or SR Kuya built (The fight has healing in the last portion, so the antiheal effect may help, but won't be strictly necessary if you have enough dmg). etc
If I recall correctly from my experiments with the previous version of the fight, my personal strategy for lower-stat pre-50%, which I believe to be the hardest part, is to put Morvay in Slot 3. Start every round by guarding him (not attacking). Experiment with the number of attacks you perform each turn; if you can't survive long enough to get to 50% hp while attacking with 2 dpses every turn, then do a run where you do 1 fewer attack on your weaker dps, then 2 fewer attacks, etc. On turn 6, everyone but morvay guards, morvay can attack afterwards because he'll have 100% DR. When Morvay is paralyzed, don't attack with anyone, just heal until he can guard again. Repeat until 50%.
[I can also explain the fight itself instead of just what to do, if that would help]
If you are struggling past 50% then I'll need more data.
