Beat Trial #3, had to gem once.

Team:

5* Hatsune Miku -leader- (Brave Emblem, SB2) - BC Gen
6* Zellha (Medulla Gem, SBB6) - Huge 30 hit AOE SBB, plus she is light unit against Abbadon's dark element.
6* Michele (Sacred Jewel, SBB10) - Atk up
6* Melchio (Sacred Jewel, SBB10) - Status NULL/Protection
6* Lilith (Divine Stone, SBB8) - Light unit, huge damage against Abbadon.
6* Raydn -friend- (Mech Sword (dafuq?), SBB1) - Just used him for defense ignore for fight #2.

First fight I killed Atro first, although I guess I should of killed Magress first considering my Light units. Had to use all 3 of my Divine Lights on this stage to get through it, Melchio was king for status NULL.
Second fight I popped Raydn's SBB on turn one and 1 shot Psycho Mage Claris.
Abaddon was honestly pretty tough for me, since I did not bring any healers, and I was having a bit of trouble keeping brave bursts up during the fight with just Miku. At one point Melchio's buffs dropped and my team got cursed up badly. Ended up wiping to him when he was about 30% health. I gemmed and killed him straight away.

Pretty fun dungeon, and alot more creative than just using a Crit squad with double Zebras to kill everything, think I'll use the Providence Ring on Lilith for the Maxwell fight, if I could ever summon a Oulu or Darvanshel (only major element i'm missing in this game, a defense unit.)

It's cool, got me through the fight very well, as I don't have a defense ignore unit myself except for Zephyr who's not very well leveled. Mech sword is fine, if you don't have a better stat booster. Stat boosters are the best gems for this kind of content imo.

Juggernaut went nuts on me and used his 250k multiple times in one round. 25 energy down the drain, thank god it's a fairly cheap dungeon and we have the speed up energy regeneration.

Got Zebra with around my 20th run. Came out Lord though. Oh well. Also hit lvl 100 on that fight, so now I'm running 6* Uda, 6* Lilith, 6* Luther, 6* Lunaris, 5* Serin.

Unfortunately I started reading reddit for the first time for this game, and it sounds like as soon as Maxwell comes out, Zebra is worthless. It also seems like I've been leveling all the wrong units.

Zephyr, Zellha, and Aisha are all apparently worthwhile? Also, can anyone post the link to running this Trial of the Gods dungeon?

And finally...fucking BB leveling Luther is a bitch, I threw about 150 units at him just to get from 6 to 7. At this rate I've probably got at least a thousand more before SBB and then 10 SBB.

Zebra will still be useful I think, even if you have Maxwell, becuase he increases your crit dmg by 300%, Maxwell is only 100 or 125% or something like that, but she brings other good stuff to the table, and all in all is probably more benificial than Zebra will be for crit teams.

I only leveled up Zephyr for the Trial of the Gods, don't think he' is super useful for other stuff? I guess he's a pretty good unit for mono dark squad. Zellha is pretty awesome once you unlock her SBB, I used her in a couple of the trials and plan to use her in Frontier Hunter for sure.

As for guides and info on the trials, here are some decent links from reddit with various information.

He was the worst for me, I hope we don't get damage reflect again anytime soon. Luna though wasn't much better, she focus fired and killed two of my units shortly before I could manage to take her out.

Barely got by trail 1. Back to farming four pillars, need to get another 20 levels before the event ends so I'm ready when zelnite batch 6* drops.
 
Finished trial 3 and got my ring.
I found trial 3 to be easier than trial 2 which was nice. did lead uda/michele/luther/altri/duel-sgx with dilma friend for trial 2 and had to gem once. It was a funny fight. i fucked up my counting on weiss and he killed everyone except dilma and altri, but those 2 managed to take down weiss together from 75%, and then dilma killed mifune instantly in the next round and survived luna for a while til i let them die due to not out damaging her heal. I then destroyed her with full squad/full sbb. Had fuijin and flute left for jugg and beat him down no problem.

trial 3 i used lead duel-sgx/michele/luther/altri/kajah uda friend and wasnt much of a problem. first fight just hit them down, block status with altri, round 2 got 1-shot with sgx's def ignore and abbadon i used flutes/fuijin again to keep bb's up and guarded turn 7 for black hole.

Maxwell gets 100% bonus to weakness damage as well as 125% crit damage.

Assuming you get the element for weakness, base crit is 150%, so Zebra crit is 450% (150 base +300), and max crit is 275% ( 150 base + 125 ) * 2 for weakness or 450%.

Also Maxwell has vastly better stats than Zebra, as well as a 33hit SBB with a huge damage modifier. It's pretty much a given if you can kill Maxwell you'd always use her instead of Zebra. It's easier said than done though.

It gets a bit more iffy wondering which JP nerfs are going to global - JP nerfed zebra to 150%, but also nerfed bonus to weakness so it only applies to your basic type, not buffs. ( E.g. in global Luther will get bonus damage against dark creatures if he has Melchio's light buff, but in JP the bonus will only apply against earth units, regardless of what buffs he has ).

Some dude's math from Reddit:

Maxwell + Zebra = (1.5 + 1.25 + 3.0) * (1.5 + 1.0) = 14.375x damage
Maxwell + Maxwell = (1.5 + 1.25 + 1.25) * (1.5 + 1.0 + 1.0) = 14x damage
Zebra + Mare = (1.5 + 3.0) * (1.5 + 1.25) = 12.375x damage
Zebra + Zebra = [(1.5 + 3.0 + 3.0) CAPPED AT 7.0] * (1.5) = 10.5x damage
Maxwell + Mare = (1.5 + 1.25) * (1.5 + 1.0 + 1.25) = 10.3125x damage
Mare + Mare = (1.5) * (1.5 + 1.25 + 1.25) = 6x damage

It was linked before, needs to be in the first post so I don't have to dig around for it once a month when I think about something I'd like to look up in it.

It should stack actually because it's another source of the buff. I've seen people saying that SGX puts you to the crit-chance cap, not sure on that though.

Edit: if that database is correct, then SGX will actually cap you on critchance, so him and Maxwell would be kinda redundant.
 
From what i understand maxwell will overwrite sgx's crit buff. Maxwell has 2 different crit buffs. She buffs crit damage with her leader skill (125% crit damage/100% damage weakness) and her sbb has a 30% more chance to crit buff. The leader skill will stack with sgx, but the sbb will go on whichever is activated last. So if your using her id assume you'd fire off maxwell first, then sgx after so it overwrites her lesser 30% chance to crit buff with SGX's 60% chance to crit buff.

Increased summoning rates on support units at the moment: Tesla/elimo/eltri/melchio/dilma/nalmika/elsel/zephyr.
A lot of decent units in there. Think im gonna hold out till lily matah but def gonna be good for filling gaps in some peoples line ups.
