I. Introduction to Trial of Ascension
Trial of Ascension (ToA) is a PVE game content with various rewards upon completing certain floors/stage. Unlocked at Level 15, ToA has 100 Floors and increases in difficulty as you advance further. Players must complete each floor to advance on top. Upon completing the floor, you can always go back and clear previous stages using 0 energy but wont get rewards.
Unlike other PVE contents in Cairos Dungeon (Giant’s Keep, Dragons Lair, Necropolis, Element Halls) you cannot revive your monsters using crystals and can’t use a your friends rep monster. The Trial of Ascension has 2 modes (Normal and Hard) which gives same rewards but are earned and given separately. ToA resets every month and the order of floors are rearranged every reset so make sure to clear floors and claim rewards every cycle.
II. Why farm ToA?
Trial of Ascension gives out special rewards after defeating the boss every 10 stages. Among those are precious Devilmon, L&D scroll, and Legendary scroll. Additionally, ToA is a good source of crystals. That is why most F2P players on mid-end game consider this very important to clear all floors so they can keep up with most P2P players by investing more time to play and farm from refilling energy. With luck, they can summon rare monsters from reward scrolls. Unless you spend real money buying packs, L&D and Legendary Scrolls can only be redeemed from ToA completion.
III. Details, Rewards and Info
Each floor there are 3 waves of monsters with mini-boss on last wave. Some stages are very tricky and requires specific units to clear it. That is why you need certain team comps that are ideal only for ToA (i.e. Baretta, Mantura, Spectra and alike). The main strategy is Crowd Control (CC) and Damage Over Time (DOT). Enemy units especially on higher floors deal huge damage and high HP so it is important to keep them down and deal continuous damage (-5% HP) per turn.

Coming Soon! (with Guides)
VIII. Summary and Conclusion
Clearing the Trial of Ascension (ToA) is mostly about Crowd Control (CC) and application of Damage Over Time (DOT). For some floors, you might need specific/niche units to counter the enemy such as Neal/Groggo/Light tank units against Ragdoll stage, strong Crowd Control team against Olivine/Hwa stage, and a few other stages that a standard team cannot normally handle. For boss stages, stat decreasing debuffs are very important because you cannot apply continuous damage against them. Slowing them down, resetting ATK bar and skill, ATK and DEF break are key elements in defeating them.
Unlike other PVE contents in Cairos Dungeon, you cannot revive your monsters using crystals so you have to be careful in selecting your team composition. In Hard mode, you cannot bring 2 of the same monsters in the lineup. Despite all these, ToA is a good source of crystals and mana. L&D and Legendary scrolls are also earned after clearing the highest floors which means it is worth the time invested to clear it. Additionally, it is a proving ground to test your game knowledge and skills as well as a metric on how good the quality of your runes are. ToA resets every month so make sure to clear floors every cycle.
Hope you learned from this guide and please do share your progress with us.

hey guys, was wondering if this team would be good. I dont have mav yet and working on getting him, but currently thinking of a team with Baretta, Verad, Ganymede, Veromos, and Belladeon. All mons except Baretta are 6 stars. Baretta is 5 stars.
Other mons I have are:
6 Stars: Sigmarus, Eladriel, and Lapis
5 Stars: Megan, Stella, Colleen, Shannon, Bernard, and Garo
4 Stars (not runed, working progress to 5 Star): Spectra, Chillin, Ryan, Hwahee, Darion, Avaris, Liebli, Tanya, Tyron, and Tarq
Any advice would help. Thanks in advance
TOA 1-100 auto : Seara (L), Galleon, Maruna, Shaina, Liu Mei.
easy completion with this team, try it if you can 🙂
( switch Seara for a healer at stage 100 )

So, my Rica is built spd/%hp/%hp and I was thinking about building Briand for ToAH and change my Rica’s build as this guide says, is it worth it?
Another question, would Baretta(L), Mav, Rica, Briand and Betta be a good team to get to ToAH100 (I’d like to use this team mostly on auto)? Or are there better options to get on auto until there?
I recently pulled Okeanos from a MS. For ToAN/ToAH I am using Baretta (L), Vero, Bella, Spectra, Mav. Is there any way I could incorporate Okeanos into that team?
I have been told Lanett worked for ToA. I am choosing who to pick for the 4 year HoH Event. Does she really work in ToA?
Can i win toa with Baretta, Vero, Ahman, Aria, and Woochi?
If no what should i replace?
I have other mons such as: Tyron, Verde, Chasun, Eleanor, Bernard or should i build other mons?

Chasun Despir / Focus ?????

(it’s a bit outdated, Baretta is already 6 star and first rune is speed)
My standard team is Baretta, Rica, Shannon, Bella and someone else (lushen, Sigmarus, Acasis, etc)
Artamiel seems impossible to me.
Thanks!

Hi DK,
1) I have these mons and I really appreciate if u can help me group up a team with runes that (I hope) is able to auto TOAN (assumed that I have sufficient stat runes). My highest floor (auto) is 81 with my the team of Baretta (L) – Veromos – Bella – Bernard – Chasun. Here are my mons:
– Xiong Fei, Sigmarus, Katarina, Ritesh (Wind Beast Monk), Akhamamir, Jaara (Dark Phoenix), Wolyung (Dark Sky Dancer), Veromos
– Barreta, Mav, Bella, Bernard, Spectra, Chasun, Basalt, Woochi, Gildong, Woonhak, Bering, Lushen, Jojo, Taurus, Shannon, Collen, Kona, Lapis, Megan.
2) Just wonder with my mons and ok runes, and an auto team, to what floor can I still auto?
3) Sorry for asking an almost obvious question to everyone but me but can u please explain to me what does Turn Order mean in your replies?
4) What mons I should 6* to prepare for TOAH? I have 6* Baretta, Veromos, Xiong Fei, Chasun, Bernard, Wolyung.
So I have a bunch of good monsters but im not sure what team to make. I have:
– Baretta
– Hathor
– Bella
– Vero
– Verde
– Chasun
– Basalt
-Kona
What mons should i use
Baretta (L), Verde, Veromos, Basalt, Chasun/Bella
You can use Hathor on specific stages and maybe build a Spectra as well. 🙂
is this team good? (L) Baretta, Veromos, Lapis, Chasun/Bella, Bernard
I have mav, sonnet, shannon.
Replace Bernard with Spectra and you have a standard team 🙂
Hello can you help me for my TOA team.
I have veromos (6*), Lapis, baretta, Mav, belladeon, trevor, shannon, bernard, spectra, hraesvelg, konamiya, sigmarus and megan.
I don’t know if i can use Lapis since the maj.
Baretta (L), Veromos, Spectra, Belladeon, Mav/Lapis
you can use Lapis with Despair runes. Switch with Mav depending on situation. 🙂
Hi! Someone could tell me which monster I should choose between:
6* Veromos, Raoq
5* Baretta, Mav, Belladeon, Spectra, Lapis, Shannon, Bernard, Darion, Iona, Triton, Hraesvelg, Konamiya.
I’m using Baretta (L), Veromos, Belladeon, Spectra and Bernard at moment. Any suggest about this team? Could I switch some monster with another one? Thank you!
Replace Bernard for Mav or Lapis and you are good 🙂
Turn order: Spectra > Bella/Baretta > Veromos > Mav/Lapis

and priority skill up & next 6* that i should do.
my priority = ToAN 70 floor auto clear, DB 10 clear & GB10 clear under 3 minute.
thx before DK ^_^
You should focus on this ToA standard team:
Baretta (L), Lapis, Thrain, Spectra, Mav/Veromos/Bella (switch depending on ToA floor)
All of them should be at least 5*.
Baretta – Despair/Focus
Lapis – Despair/Focus (also viable as fodder farmer on despair)
Thrain – Swift/Focus
Spectra – Swift/Focus
Mav – Swift/Focus
Vero – Swift/Focus or Energy
Belladeon – Swift/Focus or Energy
You can equip Energy set if you don’t have Focus runes, just mke sure your Accuracy is at least around 40%
Devilmon priority: Veromos
I can help you more and would appreciate if you join our Discord chat. Get insights and help from the community too. link can be found on our homepage 🙂
thx for response.. sure i’ll gladly join…
im already join discord. but a little confuse
ho should i start
send a message on #general channel 🙂
opinions on Lapis now that S1 has been upgraded to be a more solid aoe atb reduction ability?
definitely viable now. Despair/Focus for ToA 🙂
Hello all,
Please help me with my Team. I am at stagt 50 (normal) and 30 (hard)
6 Star: Emma, Galeone, Chow, Laika, Tablo, Veromos, Walkers, Tiana
5 Star: Lapis, Xiao Lin, Bastet, Colleen, Lexy, Jojo, Clara, Shannon, Bernard, Huan, Woochi, Mav, Belladeon, Chamie, Mantura, Lich, Megan, Hwa
Veromos (L), Lapis, Mantura, Mav, Belladeon
Turn order: Veromos/Belladeon > Mantura > Lapis > Mav
Veromos: Swift/Energy
Belladeon: Swift/Energy or Focus
Mantura: Despair/Energy or Focus
Lapis: Despair/Any
Mav: Violent/Focus or Broken runes
I’m getting stuck on this month’s toan floor 90 and I’ve tried a variety of different strategies, everytime I get Poseidon close to half my teams fall apart, either to; wind lich destroying my water mons or my wind mons getting destroyed by the second stage of fire attackers. The team that I have been using to get up here is Baretta (L), Gildong, Spectra, Mav, and Thrain but now their getting killed by the boss
Currently I have:
6* Baretta (Despair/Energy), Chasun(Vio/Endrue), Lushen(Fatal/Blade), Chow(Vio/Endure), Bella(Vio/Rev), Vero(Vio/Energy), Emma(Vio/Endure), Verde(Vio/Rev)
5* Mav(Vio/Endure), Spectra(Swift/Focus), Thrain(Vio/Energy), Gildong(Despair/Broken) , Bernard(not very well-runed), Chloe(Swift/Energy), Tyron(Despair/Focus), Woochi(Despair/Rev), Malaka(Fatal/Focus)
Are there any tips that you might have for me to pass?
Try Baretta (L), Bella, Spectra, Mav, Thrain
Turn order Spectra > Bella> Baretta > Thrain > Mav
🙂
Would be better if you can show the monster stats and see what are necessary to adjust.
Discord link: https://discord.gg/zJ6F8sC
Can you give instructions on boss wave strategy? Like who to CC and kill first? Thnaks
Hi muZZy! We are working on a guide for bosses and hard to clear stage 🙂
For ToaN90, I just CC Fuco and Woonhak then focus fire on Poseidon.
Spectra slow debuff, Baretta DoT, Thrain stuns. When all 4 of them are stunned, turn attention to Poseidon.
Baretta should have a good amount of HP just in case Mav fails to provoke him.
Please help me with a team to beat toa on normal, here is what I have..
6 stars: bella, vero, sig, Jamie, basalt, bastet, hwa, baretta,
5 stars: verdehile, kumar, spectra, brandia, Bernard, chasun, mav, thrain, Taurus, colleen
What floor are you currently at? you have great ToA units btw! 🙂
Standard team: Baretta (L), Spectra, Basalt, Thrain, Mav/Vero
Turn order Spectra > Baretta > Thrain > (Vero) > Basalt > (Mav)
Team composition usually depend on the stages, sometimes you have to use niche units to clear certain floors. 🙂
Would appreciate if you join our Discord Chat to help assist you better and get insights/tips from the rest of the community 🙂
Are there any other monsters i need or could build? i have a Briand, Raviti, and thrain in storage.
Please help, i can only get to ToA floor 60, My 6* monsters are theomars, verad, seara, arnold, chasun, ethna, katarina, trevor, and veromos, might 6* triton soon, also a possibility, all of these monsters are good runed, +12 5-6*.My team currently is verad, theo, seara, chasun, with either ethna or kat switching depending on if i need a strip defbrek or heavy damage.
TIP: Build the ToA god Baretta 🙂
Option1: Seara (L), Verad, Chasun, Veromos/Baretta, Thrain
Turn order: Chasun > Verad > Veromos/Baretta/Seara/Train
Option2: Baretta (L), Verad, Chasun, Veromos, Thrain
Turn order: Chasun > Verad/Baretta/Veromos > Thrain
Staple team (Future build) ToA floors
Baretta (L), Verad, Mav, Thrain, Briand
This will allow you to auto most floors, just follow the recommended stat 🙂
Would be glad if you could join our Discord Chat for live Q&As and also get insights from the community 🙂
So, two questions:
Why would you not run Woochi on despair, even though he has two aoe attacks that deal damage and are therfore able to proc despair?
Do you think the new fuseable light paladin has any place in toa whatsoever given her two turn aoe provoke?
Whichever rune set fits the stat, both are viable. Actually it’s more on preference and team comps. Some would prefer Violent for additional turns, others on Despair for ATB reduction + stun. 🙂
Light Paladin is viable however ToA is more on not letting your opponents get a turn and hit you (not tanking the hits because higher floor monsters hit hard), other units offer more utility in stuns and ATB reduction (Baretta/Veromos/Spectra)
Provokes are good in boss fights to prevent it from using 2nd and 3rd skills.
Would is Baretta (L), Mav, Chasun, Thrain, Veromos work for TOAn auto?
Definitely yes 🙂
Turn order: Baretta/Chasun > Veromos/Thrain > Mav
I would love to have a Thrain/Basalt for my auto team 🙂
I have this team but minus Thrain 🙁
Who should I put in instead of him: Bella, Bernard, Spectra, Perna, Shannon, Zinc. These are the mons I have from your list above.
Spectra.
Turn order: Spectra > Baretta/Chasun > Veromos > Mav
Baretta Lead skill
Or you can go a full CC / Non-healer team.
Just make sure your Baretta and Zinc have despair runes and high accuracy.
Lineup: Baretta (L), Spectra, Zinc, Veromos, Mav
Turn order: Spectra > Baretta > Veromos / Zinc > Mav
🙂
Thanks!
Can’t seem to pass the Sylvia stage (double Cadiz, double Verde).
My mons are:
6* Lushen, Vero, Bella, Sigmarus, Bernard, Shannon, Feng Yan
5* Poseidon, Baretta, Hwa, Mav, Dias, Thrain, Jamie, Kona
I was told to nuke Sylvia but I can only get her down to 1/4 health before my team gets wiped out.
i’m having trouble passing toa 58
my team vero barreta shannon mav bella
only vero 6*
Use Light Fairy (Neal).
Niche use to tank on Ragdoll stage with invincibility for 2 turns.
Veromos (L) or Baretta (L), Neal, Mav, Bella
Hey amazing guide dude! I would like to ask an advice because I can’t clear 60th floor (dark pioneer).
My team is: Baretta, Veromos, Bella or Ahman, Chasun, Bernard. All of them are 6*
I’m thinking to 6* my basalt and my Mav but I’m not sure if I will pass the stage.
About the stats of my mons all of them are like u said in the guide.
I would really apreciate if u can help me 🙂
Baretta (L), Veromos, Belladeon, Mav 5*, Basalt 5* should do it 🙂
Definitely worth to 6* them soon for ToA Hard.
1st wave: 3 Luer, 2 Gildong
2nd wave: 3 Charlotte, 2 Yeonhong
3rd wave (Boss): Woonsa, 2 Rahul, 2 Icares
1st and 2nd Wave should be easy. Just CC and kill them with DOT.
Boss stage, always keep Woonsa provoked to prevent him from casting 3rd skill while you CC and apply continuous damage to Rahul and Icares.
I have poseidon, veromos, baretta, seara, hwa, bella, bernard, coleen, mav and spectra. How do you suggest i build my team. Still at lvl 58 though

Do i need to meet the required stats without any tower or leader skills or i can count those bonuses to check if i meet the requirements?
Those stats are without any tower or leader skills 🙂
Hey, i have some troubles for building a team for the TOA. I have few monsters i can use from what I understood from this guide, and I would like some tips to pass at least the 70th floor. I don’t know either how to rune them.
I have :
6* :
Veromos
Belladeon
Eladriel
5* :
Chandra
Triton
Baretta
Thrain
Shannon
Bernard
Raoq
4* :
Sonnet
Galeon
Julie
Taurus
Emma
Basalt
Mav
Spectra
Thx for your help !
ToaN 70 Jamire
Wave 1 – 3 Ahman, 2 Belladeon
Wave 2 – 3 Pang, 2 Ellin
Wave 3 (Boss) – Jamire, 2 Zaiross, 2 Craka
Suggested team:
Baretta, Thrain, Basalt, Belladeon, Spectra
or non Healer full CC team:
Baretta, Thrain, Basalt, Veromos/Mav , Spectra
Baretta: Despair / Focus (SPD / HP% / HP%)
SPD: 175, HP: 22k, DEF: 700, ACCURACY: 45%

Mav: Violent or Swift / Focus (SPD / HP% / HP%)
SPD: 170, HP: 22k, DEF: 750, ACCURACY: 45%
My advice is just keep them the waves under Stun/CC and kill with DOTs from Baretta and Thrain. For Boss stage, it is better to CC Zaiross first and reset the monster with the highest ATB. After 1 or 2 Zaiross is killed make sure Craka is stunned/provoked to prevent her from reviving Zaiross. With the Zaiross and Craka dead you can focus fire on Jamire with ATB reductions and kill without even letting it get a turn.
A big thanks to you for your reply, its lot more than I expected !
Glad to help. Cheers! 🙂
I’m having trouble to pass throught ToAN 80, any suggestions about the team that I should go?
6*:
Vero
Baretta
Bella
Bernard
Shannon
Chloe
Kona
Tyron
Ryan
Rica
Jager
5*:
Malaka
Julien
Mav
Colleen
Woochi
Spectra
Acasis
I don’t have really good runes either, mostly 5* +12 and no vio.
This is for Chiwu stage right?
Try Baretta (L), Vero, Rica, Belladeon, Woochi
Control Megan and kill Acasis first.
I’m having so much trouble getting past TOA80, I can’t get past the boss for the life of me. My DOT team has been failing due to the rez aspects of the first wave of enemies so I’ve been looking for something else.
Available units:
I have most 3 stars so I won’t list those, if you feel any are necessary let me know. excluding light/dark 3 stars of course (basalt is a b*tch to find)
verad, baretta, vero, soha, woosa, kona, spectra,verde,bernard,shannon,mav,triton,darion,mantura,bastet,ahman,beast monk (water/fire) velajuel, unicorn (wind), many 4 stars that are good, but no lushen/or any good healer/revivers unfortunately.
Try Baretta (L), Verad, Verde, Mantura, Bella/Bastet.
Bastet should be very good for shield and unrecoverable debuff on boss stage. 🙂
I used a full CC team. Baretta (L), Verad, Mantura, Water Homie, Mav.
We have 4 common units here but you can add a healer for sustain. 🙂
Hi im having some problems building my team and i would like some advices. My current core team is Veromose, charlotte, and baretta and i would like to ask you to help me choosing the last 2. My usable units are:
Chassun
Verdehile
Mav
Wooichi
Shannon
Bernard
Belladeon
Amarna
Megan
Chilling
Thanks 🙂
Baretta, Mav, Veromos, Charlotte, Belladeon
Turn order: Baretta/Veromos > Charlotte/Bella > Mav
for a speedy CC team try: Baretta,Verde,Veromos,Belladeon, AOE Despair user or any of the Taoist family
I just made it to TOA 100 for the first time but I am getting destroyed by the boss. I can Bring down the crystals but then the boss kills me. My team is Barreta (L), vero bella mav and Verad. Should I try to change it up?
I think you need to bring a unit that can Heal Block the boss (Unrecoverable). Do you have a monster that can do that? (ex. Briand, Aria)
I have colleen but she is only 4 star. and my briand is not awakened yet, could I try Spectra instead of mav?
Spectra is a viable option as long as your team damage is significantly higher compared to the boss HP regen. Much better if you can fully control the ATB since you have Verad, Baretta and Spectra.
I was able to finish TOA with Baretta (L) Spectra Veromos Bella and Eladriel. because I don’t have my Mav on 6 star.
You think now with de atack reduction buff on 3rd, and the slow addition on 2nd on charlotte she is more usefull ? it was my first 5* and i would like to use her here too
Definitely good now for ToA 🙂 Congrats!
thanks 🙂
What about Sonnet? Useful?
Thanks for the inputs!
This is an AWESOME guide. However…. could you make one for those that don’t have all those fancy mons yet? I’m lucky that I summoned a couple of your “must haves” but besides those 2 or 3 me and 90% of players who want to get past level 30 (just did today, took me the last 2 months of reset…damn that healer woman level they had there), just DO NOT have these mons 🙁
Could you please possibly try for a guide for regular mons that are obtainable (I understand mons like vero and berretta are, I mean while we are chasing those 😀 )
Thank you again for the cool guide! Love this site
I’ve been able to clear up to ToA 77 with Baretta, Vero, Bernard, Shannon, and Bella. Save for Baretta, they’re all GB10 units, so you won’t have to worry too much about getting runes for other monsters.
ToAN is basically a rune check. You really don’t need specific monsters until you start progressing hard mode, and by then you’ll have most of the units you need.
Are they all Lvl 40?
Oh and Spectra too. Sometimes I use him in place of Bernard depending on element advantage and whatnot.
Thank you :)!!!!!!
Spectra is the light one right? I have him at 4 but cant find a use. How do you use him?
Its the Fire one you can get him out of SD on Thuesdays.
Spectra is the fire griffon 🙂
With Spectra, you basically want to keep spamming his S3 to push back attack bars, but avoid using it when the waves are almost clear since you’ll want it up at the beginning of each wave for better CC. His S2 scales off enemy HP, so he’s also really good for boss stages since they usually have a lot of health and are immune to DoTs.
If you can maintain good speed, accuracy, and defensive stats, you’ll also want to start getting more crit rate/damage from your runes. And focus more on getting crit rate until you’re 100%. Normally it’s better to just settle for 70% in PvE, but damage consistency is more desirable for ToA since his S2 damage will suffer immensely without a crit. And no need to worry about any other damage stats since his S2 scales significantly higher with crit damage.
Spectra is also very usable in Hall of Fire/Wind since he can basically keep the towers locked down with enough speed, or at least limit their trigger rate.
Thank yall SO much. Just got him while lvling. Im 2 lvls away from beretta!! Ill start work on him asap.
Lazzil, I doubt you’ll check this since it’s been a bit. I hadn’t rechecked in a couple days myself. Would it be possible to add you as a friend in game? I don’t want to waste any of your slots, so feel free to say no. But your a PLETHORA of information, and I wish I could ask you things faster than the time it takes both of us to look at this haha.
I’ll try adding your username in game but if you see this first or if it doesn’t work ( all this pending you agree, which is understandable if not) my username is my name as well. Danimal3050. Hope to talk soon 🙂 Thanks again for YOURS and EVERYONES help who replied to this thread I made that took off haha.
Oh yeah, sure. Sometimes I do randomly look around the web to kinda read in on comments for gathering information, and I like to help out when I can. I do have a few slots open, and I don’t mind adding ya since we had a pretty good conversation going and whatnot. My Vero rep isn’t anything amazing, but he can farm Vrofagus (1:30-200) and Tamor Hell (1:00) with my SPD tower at lvl 6.
Sorry if I turned your friend request down beforehand. I’ve been getting hit with a bunch of spams lately, lol.
Oh, it seems you’re maxed out right now. If you want to add me later, I’ll keep a mental note of your username.
Can i use sigmarus for TOA? What rune and desired status? Please helpp, struggle clearing TOAN
Thanks
In my opinion, you can use Sigma to clear lower floors 1-50 and some of the higher floors with less Wind type enemies. Fatal/Blade (ATK%/CD or CR/ATK%) would suffice. Give some HP/DEF substats to survive incoming attacks
thanks for the input. Appreciate it so much
Baretta (Des\Foc), Vero(Swift\Energy), Mav (Vio\Energy), Bella (Swift\Energy), Basalt is a viable team?
I’m considering 6 star my Basalt and I was wondering if build it Despair or just stack him with HP and DF (Energy\Guard).
I managed to reach 87 last month with Baretta, Vero, Mav, Bella, Kona (Briand at Arthamiel). I couldn’t pass the 87th floor with Verad + 2 Akromas (I read is higly recomended to have a Dark Tank).
I started playing 3 month ago, GB10 cleared, actually I’m farming DB10 (but Violent runes are hard to get).
I really would like to clear ToaN this month.
Suggestions?
Yes that is a viable standard team. Basalt on despair runes is highly recommended to further control enemy waves. L/D units like Basalt and Mantura are always reliable CC mons against all elements (no glancing hits). For Akroma stage, I used Dias to tank the damage.
