PoE 3.22 A Beginner's Guide to Trial of the Ancestors

I've found the best mix is to defend the first onslaught, then go on the offensive.

unfortunately, no matter how strong your character is, it will die in one-shot on higher ranks matches. the best way to play the mechanic is to build a character with high evasion/block and movement speed. try not to get hit and kill opponents' totem asap

I have no idea how to even attack the totems lol.

Why am I randomly dying in the middle of a match? No damage just fuckin drop dead. Is there a time limit or something?

Love this mechanics especially with my necromancer haha

I accidently sold one of my warrior and there was no way to buy it back so now I don't have enough favor to buy him back and your say the only way to get favor is to win wtf.

no matter what I do im alone after the first 5 minutes of the battle. All my other troops are dead. even the ones I purchase.

So how do you channel a totem? This game tells you nothing. So annoying

what skills you use? that white circle?

i become second and third few time without realising you can have more than 6 allies......holy shit

I have a question that may be dumb but... I play a necromancer build but my summons wont attack the ancestral totem is there a way for them to do so??

does it scale with your level or do I have to be max to beat it?

just a note you dont always wanna kill the enemies, some times they have buff affects on death and respawn

I think mines bugged i cant hire units at all, dont even get the option

lol my humble opinion... this mechanism sucks :D sry i have wrong opinions i kno :D

"If you die, don't worry, you respawn at your totem."
*Dies once after being one shot and then fails to respawn.*
Wow, this league mechanic is super fun...

A few tips I learned from experimenting recently. Tanky units as flankers is awesome. Tidecallers, goliaths and the 2nd tier of the lizard guys that has an ability to disappear and the guys that make walls are the best. Get your best dps/tank units on defence because you can almost ignore your own base and by doing this you can get behind the enemy and dps the defenders to let your flankers do some work on totems. Get your worst units as your followers and anything else you have just sell them sell them as much as you can. Also look for items 100% health, 50% damage, defenders generate charges and make your best units OP.

I'm frostblades this league. So far I think the best strategy is easily just building a totem build and put knockback on. pretty much auto win with that. As i'm not going to do another build, since i have a wide spread attack i just kill all of them then start taking out flank towers. I will eventually have to put knockback on but so far so good.

At what level is appropriate to start this?

I am a golemancer and i have 9 golems i just afk and walk around and claim loot

What’s the name of that skill you’re using… looks like a transparent shield.

man im hating this league mechanic is straight up unfair, getting through the first ranking is easy when you are on the lasts one its stupid how good the enemy AI is compared to yours even with all position filled my team gets wipped out every time

i have 4 defenders that struggle against flankers so much to the point where i have to run back to base to stop enemy flankers enemy chieftain follows me with his group and i have all my area filled with them on top of that the enemy flankers are so damn tanky while mine are made of paper

You can sell any warriors or equipment to which ever tribe you want the favors for, if you don't have enough for what you want.

I finally understood all the roles. Thank you very much! :)

having über high evasion would be beneficial in this league sonce player can channel totems more aggressively.

I like to take out the flankers first, if you have a weaker defense.

1 shot by EQ 😂

well doing this league mechanic isnt rewarding to do at all, rather just do maps for more rewards faster

The only tournament runs that I won completely so far was when I was in act 2 level 25 and I just defended towers while almost all my other units were set to flank. As long as I didn't die, the other team was focusing mostly on trying to kill me. So my team took out pretty much all their towers or all their towers .

make the currency verson plz

what are the hardest tribes and what are the easiest?

I think the "stun" might just be a slow since for some reason the enemy big turtle are immune to the stun when attacking my totems but it might just be a bug..🤔

A few additional tricks from my own grind to rank 265ish playing agro pathfinder:
1. Firebreathers (walking bombs) are really good on defense despite how they sound. When you hit an enemy flanker channeling your totem they will often run away and start targeting another totem, but firebreathers 1 shot any good flanking unit and can even get multikills which is a great value trade with almost no totem damage.
2. To match with the comment above, grab 1 hinekora's horn. Placed on defense, they will spend most of the time using Bolstering spirit to revive the firebreather faster or revive your flankers so that they get more shots at the enemy.
3. Be very careful of consuming kunekune's. The description says they can prevent reviving for 5 seconds, this is a lie. There is no cd on the consume ability so if you get 1 shot at the start of a round a single pig can sit on your body and prevent you from ever respawning.
4. Each unit has a "tribal passive". I can't confirm it, but it looks like this passive gets better with more units from a single tribe or isn't active with single units. Because of this I like to focus on two or three tribes per trial run.
5. Similar to the proximity shield trick from Ten's video, totems can block attacks from ranged defenders and have no effect. Just place down 2 or 3 totems between you and a ranged defender and you can channel a full totem without them doing anything about it.

could you make a video on the "best" fighers for each position?

Win every time ... play in party ! :D

You also need to watch for Flasks if you rely heavily on Utility especially. Since the champion is the only Unique monster on the field, it makes it tedious to recover them while staying alive.

If you fall, you get your charges back but all it takes to prevent you from respawning is 1 enemy channeling your main totem, the enemy destroying it or some of the soldiers have abilities that can screw with your ability to revive. Obviously, you don't want to to do this!

Good thing I am a Pathfinder and don't need to worry about this

Good content as usual, Ten. Thanks!

if you just started the league just go full flanking and defend the middle that will give you some early wins

I legitimately didn't even know you could give those items you buy to your warriors. I thought they were just active on my character....

The rewards aren't worth the time investment. I hope they improve them, because this mechanic is actually fun.

Kahuturoa is 100% bugged and his units are as well....never faced him and not be oneshot

Always looking forward to your videos my friend!! <3

How to destroy ancestor with my self?

Best strat for making money with the league mechanic is selling Silver coins and run expedition instead. 😂 EDIT: people keep commenting but forget this was before the substantial buff…

The League Mechanic is so much fun, fuck currency shits, all I want for now is to have fun.

The tribe interactions, the mechanics, the tattoos! LOVE IT
