Football Manager meets D&D: a guild-management sim that writes its own history. · By
I don't know if it's bugging or some shit, but every damn trial is a death sentence for my people, every single time, I'm on the easiest difficulty using my best people with the right gear, changing up their orders, and it is always a 5-25% chance. I can't even level up on the things that are easier that are closer to their levels, because if I don't finish it, I don't get anything out of it, even though they still had to do all this.
Have you looked at the different dungeon difficulties? I had none of these issues on the easy or hard mode.
Make sure to include all 4 party members, including at least one of each, and YOU CAN WITHDRAW FROM MANDATORY DUNGEONS at the beginning. Who cares if you lose out on 3 points for ranking up? You can probably get top 3 regardless.
Hard difficulty actually will start you in a lower rank, which from my experience is still more difficult (and takes longer), but if you are finding the dungeons too challenging specifically, you will see more "trivial" and "routine" difficulty dungeons in rank 6 (which is default on hard difficulty).
The true easiest approach would be to withdraw from the majority of tournaments on easy difficulty, de-rank, and then start with the benefits of easy mode without the drawbacks. Independent would be the best way to go to ensure you don't get forced into impossible dungeons by your patron if you are taking this approach. Let me know if you need more help. <3
Are you using party synergies? Normally something like Guardian + Cleric + Blademaster + Arcanist with decent ratings would be enough to clear any of the early trials. The default orders should also be good enough to clear the early trials. Changing this up too much might be contributing to losing it.
Also, you can just withdraw or retreat from the trial. You don't have to finish it. The only thing that happens is you get a draw or loss on your league record, and then you get to move on. Taking an L is certainly better than losing your star party members.
If you can screenshot or send your party and trial info, we can get some better insight as to what's going wrong. For reference, I had a 10-1-0 record on the hardest difficulty, so you should certainly be able to beat your trials on the easiest difficulty.
