With the addition of Avians / flying pets, there is also the addition of the Legend of Mushroom Cloud Ascension Trial dungeon. This dungeon supplies you with much required items to breed pets, as well as lots of other goodies!
Cloud Ascension Trial is a new Dungeon, that has unique mechanics compared to the other dungeons.
It follows a similar path of four normal enemies, followed by a boss for each level.
What makes this dungeon unique is that you can equip a “Comrade” – aka another Mushroom to help you out.
You can also request assistance from other players to suggest various plans for your gear, skills, and pals.
When you go into battle, there is 5 positions to pick from: Resting Position (Mushroom won’t take part in battle but will heal by 50%), Battle Position 1 (+50% Skill Energy Regen), Battle Position 2 (Shield equal to 10% of Max HP when battle starts), Battle Position 3 (+50% Skill Energy Regen), and Battle Position 4 (Shield equal to 10% of Max HP when battle starts).
Comrade Settings Explained
Here you can select from out of 10 Comrades to assist you in battle. 3 of these comrades are NPC, although you can invite a further 7 through in-game chat.
It is important to look at the Comrades stats and active skills – remember, power does not equal a better Mushroom.
Assist Settings Explained
Here you can have players assist in your set up for the Dungeon. They can make recommendations on what sets to use for gear, skills, pals, relics, statue, accessories, and Avians.
This is useful to less experienced players as it will help you fine tune your set up from players more experienced than yourself.
Rewards of the Cloud Ascension Trial
You do not get rewarded for successfully completing a sub-stage of the trial (i.e. killing a monster as opposed to a boss), although when you clear a stage completely (i.e. kill the boss) you will receive a reward: namely Uku Fruit and Mimir’s Spring. Furthermore, you will also receive weekly rewards for your participation in the trial. Here you can pick from a range of different potential rewards so you can fine-tune what you would like your weekly reward to be. It is worth looking at all the items you can possibly get once you have reached as far as you can go, so you can make an informed and efficient decision as to the reward allocation.
