Hard Trials & Beyond
Completing Hard Trials, unlocking Attacks, and reaching endgame
Hard Trials Overview
Hard Trials are the final Trial difficulty. The goal is to reach Unity (1.08e2,466 EP) - meaning you have to go through the entire game cycle with additional handicaps.
Key Differences from Medium Trials:
- •Must complete full Infinity → Eternity → Dilation → Unity cycle
- •DP Gain^ becomes the most important stat
- •Trials #1-3 are relatively manageable, Trials #4-6 require serious Zodiac investment
- •New Zodiac builds needed: Score Build for Attacks
⚠️Hard Trial Difficulty Spike
Recommended Planet Bonuses for Hard Trials
Planet optimization becomes critical for Hard Trials. Use these Season-Planet pairs:
Optimal Hard Trial Setup:
Sun: Winter (Eternity Rewards ^1.2)
Mercury: Winter (Star Cost ^0.9)
Venus: Winter (DU Power ×1.05) - MOST IMPORTANT
Moon: Autumn (Eternity Rewards ^1.15)
Mars: Autumn (Star Cost ^0.85)
Jupiter: Autumn (DU Power ×1.03)
Neptune: Summer (DU Power ×1.06) - Cancer best
DU Power bonuses from Venus, Jupiter, Neptune are incredibly important. They multiply the base strength of all Dilation Upgrades, making Dilation progression much faster.

Zodiac Setup & DTP Builds
- • Stack Libra and Aquarius with DP Gain^ bonuses
- • Supernova Req^^ as secondary stat
- • DTP 20 limit means strategic tree usage:
- - Supernova: C:1 T:1-1-5-4 B:1-1-1-5
- - DP: C:5 M:4-1-5-5
- - AP/EP: C:1 T:1-1-1-5 B:5-5-0-0

- • EP Gain^ helps as secondary
- • Free Lab Levels still useful
Completion Time: 30-90 minutes
MAJOR MILESTONE: Macro Automation
Completing HT #3 allows you to fully automate Unities using Macros. This is game-changing for farming Zodiacs. You can set up a Full Unity Macro that runs EC → Dilation Tree → Unite automatically in a loop.
Major Unlock: Attacks (15 Trials Total)
After completing 15 Total Trials (all Easy + all Medium + 3 Hard), you unlock Attacks - a completely new progression layer!
What Are Attacks?
Attacks are a new revolution system with 5 Attack Circles. Instead of building Score, you deal Damage to enemies. Each enemy defeated increases your Attack Level.
When you Unity, you're rewarded with Gold based on your max Attack Level. Gold is used to buy Relics and upgrade Attack Circles.
Attack Damage Formula
Damage is based on your Revolution Current Score converted to Base Damage via a formula (improved by Relics 13 & 19).
This Base Damage is then multiplied by Attack Multipliers (from Attack Circle revolutions), Cumulative Multiplier (from Relics), and raised to Attack Exponent.
📝Attacks Are Permanent Progress
