What is Trial of the Ancestors?

Trial of the Ancestors is a sports-inspired autobattler mode where you can form a team of fighters and join them on the battlefield to take down enemy teams in a tournament for ultimate glory. You will visit the Karui afterlife and compete against ten tribes, each with their own specialties and strategies.

 

 

How does Trial of the Ancestors work?

To access Trial of the Ancestors, you will need to find tradeable Silver coins in the game world. These coins are used to gain passage to the Karui afterlife, where you can start your journey. You will begin with a basic team of three Karui warriors, and you can select which tribe to compete against based on the reward offered.

 

Before each match, you can examine the battlefield configuration of the enemy team and strategically place your warriors to challenge theirs. Then you and your party will compete alongside your warriors to destroy the opposing team's totems and win the match.

 

As you compete in tournaments, you will accumulate favour with each of the tribes. This can be spent on recruiting warriors and purchasing field items and equipment to power up your team. Each tribe has its own specialties, and you can mix and match warriors from different tribes to build a team that embodies your strategy.

 

 

What rewards can you get from Trial of the Ancestors?

Trial of the Ancestors offers a variety of rewards for participating in the league. Some of these rewards are:

 

•  New unique items that are themed around the Karui culture and history.

•  New skill gems that are related to the league mechanic, such as Impending Doom Support, which causes your curses to explode when they expire or are removed.

•  New divination cards that can grant you access to rare or valuable items.

•  New cosmetic effects that can enhance your appearance or show off your achievements.

•  New challenges that can earn you microtransaction rewards, such as a portal effect, a weapon effect, and a pet.

 

 

Conclusion

Trial of the Ancestors is a new and exciting league mechanic that adds a lot of depth and variety to Path of Exile. Whether you want to test your skills in a strategic autobattler mode, explore the Karui afterlife and lore, or collect new items and cosmetics, Trial of the Ancestors has something for everyone. We hope this guide has helped you understand what Trial of the Ancestors is and how it works.
