Season 7 Mission, Episode 1: Official Discussion Thread

DCBMET

I breezed through the first 3 trials pretty well. That 4th trial is a dead stop for me. I have tried hunter and shooter, assault and shooter and 100% interrupt scout and bruiser (everyone else was injured).
My dudes are all level 19, the mission rec is 20. I think my limiting factor is my vastly outdated gear. (fully upgraded mix of lvl 16-18)

Any magic class combos found yet for this mission?

@Bojun show us what you have to work with & we'll help you out!

NCDawgFan

Do you have any armor with gold stun resistance to help with the fatties?

sborg

Has anyone completed all of the missions?

@sborg
They're locked. 1 per week
So everyone can only do episode (mission) 1 this week.

Invader

3/5 is done...with level 19 legendary hunter and assault...looks like a hard mission to finish 5/5

I hope people dont think that u need to lvl ur survivor to have a chance against that particular mission. Because it will be alway -2, -1, same, +1, +2 of ur current highest survivor lvl.

So if u think u can win lvl14 fatties with your lvl12 survivor, and thinking to upgrade to 13, then good luck dealing with lvl15 fatties later on

@Neil_J did you eney meny miny mo it? Lol

Do you have abe? Was wondering if his leader trait can give you enough extra power on top to scrape thru?

Rocketman

@JayZ I charged the warrior and scout on normal walkers keeping my distance from the fatties, once charged I chopped them down to size quickly.

Bojun

@MizTy here are my survivors

Neil_J

@Rocketman I did, but under forum spoiler rules, I can't tell you which one of the Ricks was "it".....

mcbkhicks

yea i used 2 hunters & 1 or both had gold stun resist thats a must for those fatties but either that or shooter with gun that has gold extra charge thing & gold grid if possible & any armor with gold stun resist helps

El_Pollo_Loco

Keep in mind that gold interrupt is no longer 100% effective

P0rchDick

I used a legendary shooter (lvl 20) and a legendary warrior (lvl 20) and breezed through it both perfect, no injuries. Recommend survivor lvl for me was 22. Just ashamed you can't replay the trial after completing all 5.

Verbaub

I really like this new addition to the game, and I've completed the trial - thanks for the great rewards.

However I have a question - Episode 1 and Episode 1-Hard are both playing at level 10 for me - that's not right is it?

@Bojun
Your situation does not have a quick answer. I sent you a direct message with additional questions.

Alternatively you can start your own thread in the Strategies section asking for advice. Be sure & include screen shots of both your survivor & equipment.

Don't worry. There's lots of smart people around here to help you through it.

PS you have some awesome survivors! The RNG gods have favored you

I meant the mission that came out today.

JayZ

One of the unintentional positive side effects of these new trials that are scaled to your survivor level is that is slows the game down. A lot of people prioritize leveling their survivors up without leveling gear up along the way. I've always made sure that my survivors sported maxed out epic/leg gear that's 1-3 levels higher than they are, which made these trials easy for me (only bruised on the last trial).

MizTy

Spot on @JayZ

sborg

I just finished 3/5 with a legendary hunter and shooter. Both were bruised, but we got through.

war

I used Epic Abraham and Legendary shooter (both level 16) for my missions. My requirement was level 18.

sborg

Finished 4 and 5/5 with a legendary hunter and shooter also. Barely.

Pig

Shooter/hunter was my team. My gear isn't great so on the last couple I got bruises and maybe injuries, but never a struggle or heavy injury.

Necroboogie

Trial 3 with 2 Epic lvl 13 hunters, you can see their traits, and gear in vid.

GreySeer

I really love these new missions.

But I think the main reason I had some trouble going through the trial is because I'm not used to dealing with fatties, unlike more highlevel players. So I wonder if the trial could be made repeatable as well, I'd love to get more training and developing strategy against them.

Shteevie

We will reopen the Trials from time to time, but we want to have only one Trial spotlit at once so that players are able to 'keep up' with the game the way they are with the show. Of course, if a player comes in late or doesn't finish one trial before the next is unlocked, we don't take the missions away - we just move where the 5/5 trial bonus is. I think there will be a point down the road where all the Trials are always unlocked [hopefully this goes for the Story Missions, too!].

Edited for clarity

@Shteevie excellent Work!

Mystique

I didn't read through the whole thread so I don't know if this has already been mentioned or if it's even happening to anyone else... Visual glitch? When I play either the normal or hard missions the opening screen levels of Rick and Negan are showing differently than what the finishing screen levels are showing! Level 15 when starting.. Level 10 when finishing! @Shteevie
