What is a trial mode?
Trial modes are specific modes where you have fix amount of mana, gems, available buildings, spells and enhanchements.

Because of constant patching and balancing some of these solutions might not work anymore, if that happens please let me know.

Also, because of fix resources some trial modes are very hard and even with proper tactic still might take 5-10 tries to finish it. Some trial mode has very RNG heavy solution, mainly because of crit gems and not even possible any other way while avoiding that huge RNG factor. I tried many alternatives on those maps.
General Information
If you liked the guide hit the thumbs up button:-D
If the guide helped you then please follow my achievement-related curator:

https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30168383-Average-Achievement-Hunter/

The curator group doesn't mark any game as recommended so it shows useful information about achievements on the store page of the games without influencing the main store page of steam with recommendations + all games sorted to lists based on expected completion times. No point not to follow!:-)

Please leave feedback on the video if it helped to you. A like, subscribe will appreciated:-) No, my channel not monetized and won't be, it is just a hobby to me, just like achievement hunting, so you not going to be forced to watch ads when checking the solution videos.

Thanks

New trial modes
A patch around end of April/start of May added many more trial modes so win 70 trial modes achievement became available.

I not made video on those trial modes yet, i don't know when will i have time and mod for it. If you created one for the missing new trials i can add you as collaborator and your video can be added to here.

It seems this guide is no more accurate for at least Z5 map.

This is a unique map.
I tried 7 different approaches.
This solution makes it the most boring map in the game.

spoiler
Salvage both gems.

build 30 - 70 walls.
press fast forward.
walk away.
5:37 later you win.

The dev just added a bunch of levels and trials.

Was O4 added in an update after this guide was written? The guide says O4 does not have a trial mode, but I see one in my game; and it makes zero sense to me so if anyone knows anything about it that would be nice.

Here's a solution for one of the newly added trial zones. For the record not my solution, but extremely effective.

Simple solution:

Close all ways to the orb eccept the middle left one.
Build 2 grade 3 gems from your inventory and bomb the middle nest down (the cheapest)
Build a grade 4 blue purple gem to shot the barricade on the upper left corner. The gem wasps from destroying the nest are enough to kill the monsters till the barricade is down. Close now the path through the destroyed nest and the rest is trivial.

Oh and just for reference this guide is great!

Trial T5 - Your solution works, but is very complicated. I recommend a 1B/1P Trap and a Pure yellow in a tower that you upgrade as much as often as possible. It does mean the mobs get banished allot... but the trial has a very high mana rate that compensates.

@Bitt, iam happy those helped to you. New trials still need to be updated, finished and recorded some but then just ended up finishing off all remaining achievements so now i don't think i can finish the still missing few trial modes until the weekend.
Bitt 4 May, 2020 @ 2:05pm 
Your guide was very helpful for beating some of the trials, cheers for the hard work!

@TypicalBailey: thanks, seen a patch yesterday but worked on finalizing my written achievement guide about a new game: Cloudpunk. Today i have some work, but I'll check the new trials asap:-) Added you incase i need some hints.
