Высшее испытание guide

Rally guide for the Trial Cage, Seasons 1–7: which troop ratio to send, which heroes to lead the rally with, and which heroes to bring when you join someone else's.

Community guide — ratios, rankings and notes are player recommendations, not game data; test them with your own heroes and equipment. Written up from the “TRIAL CAGE (Season 1–7) rally guide” image by NICK #368 and the “Cage Guide” and chat advice of [FAM] ヤeLMeow (server #498). His tagged entries are the FAM alliance's own experience on that server: take them as advice, not fact. Where the two disagree, the FAM verdict is used.

Высшее испытание – rewards, damage goals, Усиленная цепь, Пробные ячейки and rules.

Troop ratio when you lead a rally

Shield / Bomber / Shooter, as a share of the troops you send.

Standard 0% / 10% / 90% Any leader except Ада
When Ада leads 1% / 9% / 90% Shield 1% (about 1,000 troops, flat), Bomber 9%, Shooter 90%

Щитоносец / Бомбардир / Стрелок

Ада's Непрерывное разрушение needs a Shield or Bomber ally to fire.

Rallies are a damage race, not survivability.

Troop ratio when you join a rally

Send only Bomber and Shooter troops, no Shield.

Mixed 0% / 10% / 90% Bomber 10%, Shooter 90%
All Shooters 0% / 0% / 100% 100% Shooter

FAM alliance ratios FAM pick

  • Leading: 20% Bomber, 80% Shooter, no Shield.
  • Joining: 10k Bombers + 40k Shooters, or 20k Bombers + 30k Shooters, no Shield.

FAM's rule: only players on a Cage seat open rallies (more rallies only when needed). Everyone else just joins, with at most 50k troops and no Shieldbearers, because the alliance's troop counts are still small. This is how FAM plays on server #498: advice, not a game rule.

Best rally leaders

Your 3-hero lead formation keeps full stats and exclusive equipment (a joiner only gives one war skill). Pick one hero per slot, ranked best to backup.

FAM pick Lead with the strongest hero you own from this list.

Avoid as leaders

Defense, HP, tank, revive and damage-reduction heroes do nothing here — the boss only has to be out-damaged.

Best heroes when you join

Send ONE hero: only its first War Skill counts.

In-game rule
1. До 4 умений героев участников могут быть выбраны для помощи. Среди первых боевых умений всех первых героев участников, умение с самым высоким уровнем станет навыком помощи. 2. Если уровни одинаковы, герой участника, находящийся раньше в боевой очереди, будет выбран. Как лидер совместной атаки, так и администратор альянса могут корректировать боевую очередь, используя функцию Первый в бою.

Still debated: Lethality

Many players still debate whether Lethality adds damage against the Cage boss. These heroes' first War Skill gives only Lethality: test them yourself. LOJ Wiki's rally logs did not settle it either: with the same leader, rallies that had a Lethality assist skill did about the same damage as those without.

Bring a clean ATK or damage buff that works every round. Top picks first, then Solid.

What our rally logs show

LOJ Wiki logged 60 Trial Cage rallies on two servers in October 2026 — each rally's members, its Rally Bonus skills and its damage report — and checked them against the rule above.

First skills that never count

These heroes' first War Skill is not a battle skill (it lowers stamina use, speeds up marches or raises Factory profit). It never becomes an assist skill, whatever its level, and no other skill of theirs takes its place: sent first in a join, they add nothing.

Do and don't

Do

  • Stack ATK and damage buffs: output is everything.
  • Shooters and Bombers only, about 90% Shooters.
  • Send ONE strong joiner hero.
  • Max the hero's top War Skill.
  • Joiners: a clean buff that works every round.
  • Join the strongest leader's rally, and join early.

Don't

  • “Reduce enemy troops” skills: Ада's Сладкая улыбка, Мирейя's Плащ-невидимка.
  • DEF / HP or revive heroes.
  • Extra Shield troops (0%, or Ада's 1,000 floor).

Правила

  1. Высшее испытание длится 30 минут после начала, в течение которого Директор может организовать атаку на испытательную клетку, чтобы напасть на Босса, Заключенного Алого Мясника. Время активации двух испытательных клеток должно быть по крайней мере на 30 минут друг от друга и не может совпадать.
  2. Каждый Директор может инициировать только один сбор в данный момент, но может отправить несколько войск.
  3. Накопив урон против босса, вы разблокируете личные награды за урон. Награды за урон и рейтинги вычисляются отдельно для каждой из двух испытательных клеток.
  4. Перед началом испытания Директора могут пожертвовать Усиленные Цепи для увеличения урона, нанесенного всеми членами Альянса во время Высшего испытания. Вы можете получить Усиленные Цепи, выполняя задания на разведку. Уровень усиления рассчитывается отдельно для каждой испытательной клетки.
  5. После участия в испытании вам необходимо будет подождать до 00:00 серверного времени в третий календарный день, чтобы принять участие снова. (Это касается участия вне зависимости от времени участия. Следующее участие открывается в 00:00 серверного времени в третий календарный день.)
