极限试炼 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.

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 艾达
When 艾达 leads 1% / 9% / 90% Shield 1% (about 1,000 troops, flat), Bomber 9%, Shooter 90%
盾牌兵 / 投弹兵 / 枪械兵
艾达's 持续破坏 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.
1.最多挑选4个队员的英雄技能助战，所有队员首个英雄的首个战争技能中，技能等级最高的将成为助战技能。 2.若等级相同则选取参战的队列顺序靠前的队员的英雄，集结队长和联盟管理均可通过参战置顶操作改变队列顺序。

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.
| Hero | Strength (1st War Skill at max level) | Weakness |
|---|---|---|
| +25% Lethality | Lethality only — still debated | |
 | +25% Lethality | Lethality only — still debated |
| | +30% Lethality if your troop power is higher, otherwise +25% HP | Lethality or HP only — still debated |
| | +25% Lethality | Lethality only — still debated |
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.
- The rule held: each member adds the first War Skill of its first hero, and the 4 highest levels are picked. A skill below max level still counts if it makes the top 4.
- The same skill picked twice counts twice, both at full strength: there is no 66% cut for duplicates.
- On a level tie, the member earlier in the combat queue wins: join early, or ask the leader to move you up with 参战置顶.
- The leader decides the damage. In full rallies of about 1 million troops, the strongest leader did up to 5 times more damage per soldier than the weakest, and more troops behind the same leader did not raise it.
- Your own damage follows your share of the rally's troops: the same 50,000 troops scored 1.7 to 4 million behind the weakest leader and 11 to 23 million behind the strongest. Join the strongest leader's rally.
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: 艾达's 甜美笑容, 弥蕾雅's 融入阴影.
- DEF / HP or revive heroes.
- Extra Shield troops (0%, or 艾达's 1,000 floor).
Trial facts from the game
- Each trial lasts 30 minutes, and there are 2 Trial Cages that count damage and rankings separately.
- After you take part you have to wait before you can join again; the exact time is in rule 5 below.
- Donating 加强锁链 to a cage raises every Alliance member's ATK against the boss, up to +25%.
- 试炼席位: 席位属性：对被囚禁的猩红屠夫攻击提升+10%
