    Before the cage opens

    Save your lead or join formation before the event starts. Check the troop limit agreed for this cage: joiners need a saved quantity, while leads use a saved ratio.

    Then set your active felons and agree the rally order. The sections below cover each setup so you can jump straight to your role.

    Rally Lead Setup

    All of the heroes below remain recommended rally lead options. From experience, Tyronn, Mireya, and Ryuichi Ito are the strongest combination when they are powerful enough. Otherwise, use your strongest combination of three heroes from the full list.

    After selecting your heroes and robot, set the troop split to 0% Shieldbearers, 15% Bombers, and 85% Shooters.

    Rally Join Setup

    When joining a rally, place one of the join heroes below in your first hero slot.

    Hercules, Ranger, or Phantom Cat are recommended. Other robots are ok to use if needed.

    Use 0% Shieldbearers, 15% Bombers, and 85% Shooters within the total troop quantity agreed for that cage. The total quantity can change, so calculate the Bomber and Shooter quantities from that cage's limit.

    For example, a total of 130,000 troops is 0 Shieldbearers, 19,500 Bombers, and 110,500 Shooters.

    Active Felon Setup

    Set Scorpion and Cobra as your felons from the Dungeon.

    If available, use Rage Fist with them. If you do not have Rage Fist available, use Devil instead.

    Keep in mind
    • Scorpion gives an ATK boost.
    • Cobra gives a Lethality boost.

    Ultimate Trial Rally Order

    During the event, rallies should normally only be started by alliance members sitting in an Ultimate Trial seat, because the seat provides an extra 10% ATK bonus.

    Ultimate Trial seats should be given to members with strong heroes, strong troops, strong robots, and large rally capacity.

    All 8 players in the Ultimate Trial cage seats must start their rallies first. After all 8 seated players have started, members positioned one or two spaces away from the cage should then start their rallies.

    Rally Start Order
    • The first person in the Ultimate Trial seat order starts their rally as soon as the event begins.
    • The second person starts their rally 15 seconds after the first person.
    • The third person starts their rally 15 seconds after the second person.
    • Continue this pattern clockwise until all 8 seated rally leads have started.
    • Once all 8 seated players have started, players positioned one or two spaces away from the cage should begin their rallies.
    • When a rally march returns, that player should start the next rally immediately.
    • The aim is to keep all Ultimate Trial rallies running with no downtime.
