Phase 2 - The Battle Round
The rules for this phase are quite detailed, so be sure to read through them all carefully.General Structure: - Each player will play 4 Bo5 matches
- Players who chose the PVP Phase 1 task will play an additional 2 Bo5 matches
- These additional 2 matches shall only be played against players who chose the PVP Phase 1 task
- These matches will follow all phase 2 rules, but have a different General Stucture.
- Trialists will play a match against every other player in-element (including the defending Master, if there is one)
- Remaining matches shall be off-element matches
- Challengers trialing for the same element shall have the same off-element opponents
- Off-element matches will only be Master vs Master or challenger vs challenger
- If the number of participants does not allow for exactly 4 matches for each player, stand-in opponents will be used.
Ban Rules:- Before every match you and your opponent chat message someone, who is in neither you nor your opponent's element, 2 shards and 3 other cards (these 3 other cards can also be shards). These cards are banned for both you and your opponent. You may only ban 1 shard and 1 other card from your opponent's element, and it may not be a creature, pillar or pendulum.
- Banning an Alchemy card also bans the corresponding Nymph, even though it allows banning an in-element creature.
- Any Banned cards are banned in both their upgraded and unupgraded forms.
- Banning Shard of Focus against Gravity Trialists is allowed, even though it allows banning an in-element creature.
- Banning Shard of Integrity against Earth Trialists is allowed, even though it allows banning an in-element creature.
- Pillars and pendulums cannot be banned.
- The ban-arbitrator should be a Trial's Overseer if one is available.
- If not a TrO, please have the ban arbiter PM the Challengers' names and the banned cards for the match to the TrOs
Deckbuilding Rules: - Decks may be of any size.
- You may use any mark.
- Decks must be at least 40% in element rounded up (including pillars/pends).
- Your deck may NOT contain more cards of any off-element than it does of your in-element.
- Your deck must contain at least 25% off element cards (rounded down) unless it is your once per match all in-element deck (This is a total of all off-element cards, not a 25% requirement for each individual off element).
- "Other" Cards are not allowed, aside from matches using the
element. - Mark cards are treated as pillars of the element whose quanta they produce for all deckbuilding rules
- Using a Pillar/Pendulum/Mark-card counts as using the Element that Pillar/Pendulum/Mark-card belongs to.
- Any Banned cards are banned in both their upgraded and unupgraded forms.
- Any Banned Alchemy Card/Nymph means the corresponding Alchemy Card/Nymph is also banned.
- You may only use upgraded cards per your Tasks in Phase 1.
- You may only use off-elements per your Tasks in Phase 1.
- Each time you unlock an element, you can use that element in a deck once per match
- Unlocking the element you are trialing for lets you use one rainbow deck per match. A rainbow deck must use at least 6 elements. Playing an element in the rainbow deck does not count as using that element.
- You may use your in-element cards regardless of whether or not your element was unlocked in your Tasks in Phase 1.
- You may only use one all in-element 'mono' deck per match. This deck may NOT use off-element cards

- After every game, you must tell your opponent what elements you used in the previous game if they ask, but you should not share decklists or specific cards.
- If you run out of elements to use against a single opponent, the rest of your games against that opponent are forfeited, and your opponent receives wins for those games.
- If both players run out of elements at the same time, the rest of the games are voided.
- In the event of a disconnect (Opponent not respoding, CPU takes over), the players should play it out vs the AI on both sides
- If the same player wins in both "games", they are considered the winner of that game.
- If the two "games" result in wins for different players, the game is voided, and players may not switch decks before the next game.
- If it is obvious that a game will never end (e.g. if both players have zero net damage output -- where they can both heal off the damage done each turn easily -- and will never deck out, and both players have no means of breaking the stalemate), that game is voided, and players may switch decks prior to the next game.
- If a desynchronization error is detected and leads to weird circumstances, take screenshots immediately. Then the players should replay the match, unless it was clear who was going to win.
- Voided games do not count towards Elements used.
- In the event that an illegal deck is used in any game (whether that game was voided at the time of the match or not) the user of the illegal deck will be given a loss for that game (and their opponent a win).
- If you lose access to the Elements the Game during a game (refreshing the tab, clicking on ad that isn't a popup type, closing the tab/window/browser/computer, power outage, pet elephant stepping on your computer ect), The opponent should have the CPU take over, and they should play vs the CPU. If the opponent wins, the game is a loss for the person who lost connection. If the CPU wins, the game should be replayed with same deck and mark, unless the player who lost connection can prove that they'd win despite any series of draws from the opponent.
- Trials Overseers are the final arbitrates on all matters. If you have any issues, contact TrOs IMMEDIATELY.
After Matches and Scoring: - If you win a match, post a topic in the TRIAL BATTLE RESULTS SECTION, titled: [Trials 10 - Phase 2] [YourElement] YourName NumberOfWins - NumberOfLosses OpponentsName [OpponentsElement] (e.g. [Trials 10 - Phase 2] [Life] STANDIN 3 - 1 STANDIN [Fire])
- Once Phase 2 finishes, you will have 2 days to post your decks in this topic.
- For Phase 1 Task 7 matches, the heading should be [Trials 10 - Phase 1 Task 7].
- If you lose a match, wait for your opponent to post the topic detailed above. Then post in that topic confirming the result.
- Once Phase 2 finishes, you will have 2 days to post your decks in this topic.
- NO DECKS SHOULD BE POSTED UNTIL AFTER ROUND 2 HAS ENDED
- Please save your decks for easy posting after the round ends
- We recommend sending your decks for each match as a PM to yourself to easily copy paste into the post during the 2 day window
- If a game is not played before Phase 2 ends, it will be ruled a forfeit for the player who made the least attempt to ensure the match was played. i.e. a win for the demonstrably more active player
- If both players can provide sufficient evidence that they tried to make a match happen, but were unable to complete it, the TrOs reserve the right to award up to 0.25 points (per game) to each player for a draw
- Each game is scored independently, and a win awards 1 point
- Defeating a defending Master awards an additional 0.25 points
Here are the In-element Games list and Off-element Games and Phase 1 Task 7 Games lists. Pretty tables inside!
