Challenge Within -9 of Recommended Difficulty Level

To gain EXP, you have to challenge within -9 levels of the recommended Difficulty Level. The lower the recommended difficulty, the less EXP you get. If you exceed the recommended difficulty level, you can get a total of 90 EXP.

However, 90 EXP for three consecutive battles is quite low, so Tempest Trials aren't a worthwhile EXP farming method. Think of EXP as a bonus for completing Tempest Trials.

EXP Farming Guide

Drop Rate of Books is Very Low

The drop rate of Books is quite low at 0-1 per Tempest Trial. The walkthrough team made 21 attempts of Difficulty Level 50 and 10 attempts of Difficulty Level 41, and only 1 Book was dropped. If you want to farm Books, you'll need to be patient and persistent.

How to Beat Tempest Trials

Recommended Units and Party Composition

High Avo Stat Formation Normal Avo Stat Formation
Time Required 8-15 mins. Approx 15 mins.
Pros Faster battles due to well-trained units Don't need to grind heavily
Cons Have to grind training/Avo stat increase Battles may be long and challenging

With High Avo Stat Formation

Units with an Avo stat of 196 and above are eligible for this formation. The more units you have with an Avo stat of 196 and above, the faster you'll be able to beat Tempest Trials on Level 50 difficulty. Below is the three-unit formation we employed.

Have 1 unit wield a heavy weapon

It's necessary to have 1 unit wield a heavy weapon, in order to deal more damage to Armored enemy units that attack you. In this formation, Alear wields the heavy weapon Armorslayer.

Steps on How to Beat Tempest Trials

1 Auto-Battle with Charge until the 3rd battle.
2 On the 3rd map, the only clear condition is to defeat the enemy generals, so ignore the other enemies and prioritize the enemy general.
3 When defeating the enemy generals is difficult, you could defeat the enemies around him first. However, it's not required to defeat all enemies on the map.
4 Additionally, be wary of enemy chain attacks since chain attacks have a standard hit rate of 80%, regardless of Avo.

Rank A Support is Required

Dual Support buffs Avo with unit's support level with adjacent allies, so having Rank A support maxes out the Avo earned from the skill. As the main character, Alear is likely your character with the most Rank A supports among your units.

How to Get S Rank Support

Utilize Corrin's Dragon Vein

Corrin's Dragon Vein on Covert units creates fog that increases Avo. Utilize this with Marth's Perceptive and Avoid skills, and you'll have a powerful Avo-centric unit.

To utilize this, keep using Corrin's Dragon Vein adjacent to Alear, while having enemies come at you. Keep slowly progressing through the map this way (making sure to land on Engage meter tiles along the way) until you meet the enemy general.

Heavy weapons still needed

As with the previous formation, having at least 1 unit wield a heavy weapon to deal damage to Armored units is necessary in completing Difficulty Levels 50 and higher.

Do Tempest Trials Have Permadeath?

Tempest Trials Deaths in Classic are Temporary

Fire Emblem Engage Tower of Trials Works

In Classic Mode, your units will come back to life after dying in Tempest Trials. This can allow you to place units aggressively or even use some units to bait out enemy placements without suffering too much consequences.
