The Mystic Trial is one of the most rewarding events added to the game, offering a mix of progression, strategy, and long-term account growth. If you’ve just unlocked it or want to maximize your gains each cycle, this Kingshot Mystic Trial Guide walks you through how the event works, what each stage requires, and how to make the most of the rewards and Misty Crystals you earn.
What Is the Mystic Trial?
Mystic Trial is a rotating event built around exploration, combat stages, and progression-based rewards. You move through a long path of encounters, earn chests and Misty Crystals along the way, and then fight through tower-style battles that test the strength of your heroes, pets, and charms.
The event has two major phases:
- Auto-Exploration Phase
Your avatar travels along the board automatically. Early stages behave like intel missions: if your strength is high enough for that node, it instantly clears and gives you rewards. - Combat Towers Phase
Once exploration ends, you shift to strategic battles where team setup matters. You must build multiple hero squads to climb as high as you can before running out of retries.
Understanding the Rewards You Earn
As you progress, you gain:
- Trial Chests
- Splendid Trial Chests
- Misty Crystals
- Lucky Hero Gear Chests
- Exploration Points
Exploration Points simply show how far you made it. They are not a currency.
The real value comes from the chests and Misty Crystals.
Trial Chests
Possible drops include:
- Court of Knowledge (Island building)
- Mythic Hero Shards
- Speedups, EXP, and enhancement items
Drop rates vary, but this chest is where you’ll start seeing key account upgrades.
Splendid Trial Chests
A higher-tier version of the Trial Chest, offering increased chances at:
- Court of Knowledge
- Mythic Shards
- Better resource bundles
Lucky Hero Gear Chests
These can drop Mythic Hero Gear pieces. It’s possible to pull several mythic items in one batch opening.
Misty Crystals
Misty Crystals can be exchanged in the Trial Shop. The standout purchase is Myithil for 2500 Misty Crystals. Buying Myithil here offers some of the best value in the entire game for non-spenders and light spenders.
With consistent participation, you can earn roughly three Myithil per week through this event alone, on top of your regular sources.
What You Can Earn in a Strong Run
A high-performing run (for example: clearing up to around level 38) can provide:
- 80+ Lucky Hero Gear Chests
- 100+ Trial Chests
- 30+ Splendid Trial Chests
- Multiple island monuments
- Thousands of Misty Crystals
Island monuments add meaningful permanent stat boosts on placement. Examples:
| Building | Stat Provided | Value Per Level |
|---|---|---|
| Court of Knowledge | Squad Attack | +1 percent per level |
| Small Coliseum | Squad Defense | +0.5 percent per level |
With enough copies, leveling them to tier 3 can grant a noticeable boost to overall power.
How Combat Works in Mystic Trials
You will run three hero squads. The event seems designed to motivate players to invest in more than just one hero lineup. Arena tactics don’t apply here because timing doesn’t matter; it’s closer to Conquest or Alliance Championship where raw stats and skill effects decide outcomes.
Important notes:
- You get five retries per day to redo failed battles.
- A first loss doesn’t always mean you’re stuck. Try again—battle outcomes can shift due to ability triggers and AI behavior.
A practical approach is to split retries between towers rather than burning all attempts on one.
Maximizing Power for Each Tower
Each tower focuses on a different progression system. Early examples include:
| Tower | What Matters Most |
|---|---|
| Coliseum | Hero Gear + Hero Exclusive Gear |
| Beast Tower | Beast setup and beast synergy buffs |
| Pet Tower | Pet stats |
| Charm Tower | Governor Charms |
This design encourages balanced development. If you’ve ignored pets or charms, expect to stall quickly when those towers appear.
Small Strategy That Makes a Real Difference
Before entering combat, tweak your unit formation to squeeze out a bit more power. For example, switching from a 33/33/34 style split to a 50/20/30 infantry-heavy formation boosted the displayed hero power in testing. It won’t fix a weak team, but it can push you across a bracket for better rewards.
Why This Event Is Worth Doing Every Cycle
The long-term reward structure is exceptional. Deeper progress grants major milestone rewards including extremely high-value Myithil bundles. If you reach the upper reward tiers across all towers, you’re looking at:
- 10, 20, 30, 40, and even 50 Myithil rewards
- Hundreds of chests per tower
The cumulative value is huge, especially for players who don’t spend heavily.
Mystic Trial blends exploration rewards with tower combat that challenges the depth of your account. To grow consistently:
- Participate every rotation
- Use Misty Crystals on Myithil first
- Build more than three heroes for gear allocation
- Don’t ignore pets and charms or you’ll hit an early wall
- Retry battles before moving on—you’ll be surprised how often a repeat wins
As you continue to invest across all systems, each tower becomes easier and your weekly Myithil income increases. Over time, that turns into a steady snowball of account power.
