Kingshot Mystic Trial Event Guide: Schedule, Best Army, and Shop

A Detailed Player's Guide to the Mystic Trial Event in Kingshot

This guide provides a comprehensive breakdown of the Mystic Trial event, offering strategies, army formations, and shop priorities to help you dominate the leaderboards, even against stronger opponents.

1. Understanding the Mystic Trial Event

The Mystic Trial is a recurring in-game event that is crucial for progression. It consists of six different stages, or "caves," each with its own unique set of rules and active days. By progressing through the stages, you earn valuable rewards and event currency (Mystic Crystals) which can be spent in a special event shop. The goal is to get as far as you can in each stage to maximize your score and earn the best rewards.

2. Event Stages and Schedule

Each stage of the Mystic Trial is open on specific days of the week and only allows certain stats and units to be effective. It is vital to understand these rules to build your teams correctly.

3. Recommended Army Formations for General Use

For most stages where you deploy full armies (like Point of Knowledge, Molten Castle, etc.), using a balanced formation is key. The video suggests several effective troop ratios. These are listed as Infantry % - Cavalry % - Marksmen %.

• 50-10-40
• 50-15-35
• 60-20-20
• 50-20-30
• 60-15-25

The streamer notes that 50-20-30 is currently one of the best general-purpose formations. Experiment with these to see which works best against the specific enemies you face.

4. Advanced Strategy: How to Defeat Stronger Opponents in Colosseum & Shining Spire

This is the most important tactic from the video for climbing the ranks. It is particularly effective on Monday, Tuesday (Colosseum), and Sunday (Shining Spire) where hero and equipment stats are paramount. When you get stuck on a difficult level, this strategy can help you push through.

The core idea is to strategically sacrifice your first army march to ensure your other two marches are overwhelmingly strong against the enemy's remaining forces.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Identify Your Strongest Unit Type: Determine which of your unit types (Infantry, Cavalry, or Marksmen) has the best heroes and the most powerful equipment. In the video, the player's Marksmen are the strongest.

2. Strip Your Strongest Hero: Go to the hero lineup for your first army march. Remove your strongest hero from that unit type. In the video's example, the player removes his best Marksman hero, Marin.

3. Create a "Bait" March:

   • In the first march, keep your other two heroes (e.g., your best Infantry and Cavalry heroes).
   • Replace the strong hero you just removed with a much weaker, lower-level hero of the same unit type, or leave the slot empty if possible. The goal is for this first march to be weak enough to lose intentionally.
   • Crucially, change this march's formation. The video suggests using a two-unit formation like 60% Infantry and 40% Cavalry, completely removing the Marksmen from this march. This concentrates your remaining troops into units that still have strong heroes leading them.

4. Consolidate Power in Marches 2 & 3:

   • Go to your second and third army marches.
   • Fill these marches with your strongest heroes. This is where you will place the powerful hero you removed from the first march (e.g., Marin). Distribute your best heroes across these two marches.
   • Ensure the equipment on these heroes is your absolute best for their respective unit types.

5. Set Formations for Your Power Marches:

   • For your newly powerful second and third marches, use a strong, standard formation like 50-20-30 or 50-10-40.

Why This Works: The enemy AI typically sends its strongest forces first. Your weak "bait" march will lose the first engagement, but it will take the brunt of the enemy's strongest army. Your second and third marches, which are now stacked with all your best heroes and equipment, will then face the enemy's considerably weaker second and third armies, allowing you to win the next two engagements and clear the stage. The player in the video goes from being completely stuck to clearing multiple stages in a row using this exact tactic.

5. Mystic Trial Shop: Purchase Priority

The event shop contains some of the most valuable items in the game. Spending your Mystic Crystals wisely is critical. Follow this priority list for maximum efficiency:

1. Top Priority - Mithril: This is the most important item. It is used for upgrading Hero Equipment to its highest levels. Buy this out completely whenever it is available.
2. Second Priority - 100 Geliştirme TP'si Bileşeni (100x Development TP Component): This item is essential for upgrading your equipment. It offers tremendous value. Purchase all available stock after buying Mithril.
3. Third Priority - Mitik Genel Kahraman Parçası (Mythic General Hero Shard): These shards are used to unlock and upgrade powerful Mythic heroes. They are a very good investment for long-term power.
4. Fourth Priority - Uğurlu Kahraman Donanımı Sandığı (Lucky Hero Equipment Chest): This chest gives you a chance at high-level equipment. It's a solid choice once you have bought the items above.
5. Lower Priority: The remaining items, such as the Mitik Genel Dekorasyon Bileşeni (Mythic General Decoration Component) and the Geliştirme Hızlandırma (Speedups), are less critical. Only buy these if you have crystals left over after purchasing everything else.

By following this detailed guide, you can significantly improve your performance in the Mystic Trial event, secure a higher rank on the leaderboard, and acquire essential items to strengthen your account. Good luck
