#With the upcomming Trials of Tiamat rework, create the first 12 slots formation!

When we got Trials of Tiamat I was exited. This will be the most difficult part of the game with a coperative system! For last tier we needed to get 1450 zone, that was fantastic, I had to do a lot of math and quick swapping to get there. Then we started to forge legendary items and it started to become trivial. After that, we get a rework and the zone required becomed even lower...
Sword Coast requires 9 champions. All other campaings require 10 champions. Ximaris requires 10 champions + 1 scort.
It would be interesting if ToT required 12 champions, that means using all slots!
There are a few advantages:

  • You can ask as higher area requirement!
  • Restrictions become more impactful. Currently, if the restriction makes some slots useless, I don't have to worry as I only need 10 champions from 12 slots.
    Considering that ToT is so special (comperative system, and introduces you to legendary forge) it would be nice to have the largest formation.

Prettified versions of your examples (with accurate slot ids). 😛

I wasn't using "slot id", I was just counting the slots to make sure there are 12 🤣

A 12 slot formation would be very interesting. I approve the request.

I remember being excited for Xaryxis because there was the potential that it would be an 11-slot formation, and then it got stuck with a permanent escort. This is definitely something I’d love to see

Exellent suggestion. No notes. Good work everybody.

I thought I read somewhere that the reason they don't do more seats is it tends to cause more lag issues, especially on weaker machines like consoles and phones/tablets.

I have a more radical idea.

What if Trials didn't need you to get to area 1000. Instead, getting to area 900 gives you 90% of the trial damage.

But, with an extra twist.

Each day of the trial bans those champs on day 2. (Like split the party)

So, a full extended tiamat trials now requires you to use more than even 12. But potentially 70 champs. ( 10 × 7 days)

You want math and struggling, there it is.

Plus, from a CNE perspective, more champs used means longer life span for even weaker champs.🧑‍🏫

That is mean, you need 7 different dps with 7 different formation. No way people like that

#

I want 12 slots formation because it would be more interesting and we will be able to see higher damage numbers

You dont NEED 7 😇 and would likely not need it since Trials are usually over before that, but theoretically, 7 teams. Tons of legendaries, and ilevels. Plus, by allowing partial progress on Trials, its not as stressful.

It kinda makes sense to do, since we have tons of spare champs. So many, that people just consider many of them trash and forget about them.

And I know, 12 champs, big numbers. I understood that. Its just i heard that the more characters the more weaker systems can't handle it. So the limit is 10, that's why I was thinking of alternatives to +2. To +60 😁

I do think some kind of gauntlet series adventure like that could be fun, but I also would just like 12 champ adventures to be a thing somewhere

12 person, 7 day trials where you can't use the same champion twice.

#

Boom! Just made the least likely to be played variant ever!

Basically just split the party on steroids.

Maybe the Devs could boost it to 11 champs without hurting consoles and tablets too bad? Idk. Every champ puts more stress on weaker devices.

Maybe devs shouldn't have released this game on systems that cant handle it.
[Playing on mobile is a special kind of hell I would never wish upon anyone.]

Yeah, and since I hate myself I played the game for about a year on my phone.
[Which I can guarantee didn't meet minimum requirements AND it had a teeny tiny screen.]

Small tip for my small android brothers: go into Accessibility, and turn on the magnifier glass. It can help you a lot sometimes. 😁

On the formation in the new tiamat revamp, hopefully they add some new formations ontop of the day 1 Stat limits.

I think that 10 champions max is a thing for a Simple reason - they ults can be casted by pressing numbers on a keyboard, but as we know amount of numbers is 10

#

if there would be more champs on a field it would need to be reworked somewhat for that :p

? and ¡ simbols works after 0

On a US keyboard the - and = continue after the numbers on he top row. But think it's safe to figure that many boards have a couple key between the number row and backspace.

Considering the rug pull we got with the 11 champ formation, I'm glad I only just saw this so I can be disappointed when we don't see a fun experiment like this...or even if Trials always varied the size of the formation available or something...

#

I do think new tiamat formations might be nice. Maybe make a new tiamat formation per season.

Lol, "with the upcomming trials of triamat rework". We are in the second half of 2025 and still no changes
