[PLAYER GUIDE] Alliance Trials Stage 5 guide

*Special thanks to KitSummer from K44 for contributing his game guide to us!

General info:

Every round has the same order of bosses that you have to go against, so no matter if you are on lvl 1 or lvl 5, they will be in the same order.

Every fifth boss gives 2 Tyrion medals, which I marked with a capital T on the list.

Every time that a boss is not defeated, he/she/it returns the next day with full strength - but not ad infinitum. I am unsure how many failed attempts make one disappear.

AT battles and lineups:

CAV beats INF

INF beats SPEAR

SPEAR beats CAV

BOW beats BOW (and everything else)

The type of your commanders is weighing more in the AT battles, than their actual strength. It means that you should always fight with a full lineup of your commanders of the type that counters the boss type. If you do not have a full lineup of one type, use bow commanders to complete it. Incomplete lineups are useless, only do that when you run out of commanders. But use all your commanders every day.

On levels 1-4 you should only fight a boss with that main lineup you pick and wait for the next boss to use your other troops - you can expect to beat in an active alliance 2-4 bosses per day, meaning that you can use all your commander types optimally. From lvl 5 onwards, you cannot expect to beat more than 1-2 boss per day, so you should first use up your main lineup, then before the end of the day, your second (third etc) lineups if you see that the boss won’t be beaten that day.

Always check what type of boss comes next after the current one and reserve the type of commander that counters them, till you see that they come or not before the end of the day. For a second lineup, pick the boss’s type and complete it with bows. Always reserve the type which the boss counters, because they won’t give you good points and only use these if the boss won’t be beaten that day. If the next boss is the same type, then you don’t have to reserve anything - go full out.

Within each lineup put your strongest commander to front & center and put the weaker ones to the back. Optimally each lineup should have one commander who can do a stun and in a protected position, like the healers/protectors if you have enough. The boss always attacks front first then right then left and deals little-to-no damage to the back positions. Commanders with a strong but slow buildup extra attack should be in the back as well.
