Fire Fight Trial Tips

Invest in Fire Coils and Stealth Weaves

Striders are easily alerted. Investing in good equipment with Fire and Stealth bonus can let you run past Striders after each shot. After shooting your Fire Arrow, sprint to the nearest Strider before the first shot explodes and alerts the others.

Shock Trial Tips

Utilize Concentration

Utilize your Concentration Skill and jump when shooting Shock Bombs to slow down time before the Bellowback has time to react. It is also recommended to equip Shock Coils to your Sling of choice before proceeding with this trial.

Exposed from Behind

The underside of Bellowbacks are more exposed from behind when they are temporarily downed by Shock Bombs. Run to their exposed behinds and use arrows with high Tear, such as Tearblast Arrows, to rip out parts before the Bellowback recovers.

Freeze Trial Tips

Invest in good Sharpshot and War bows

We recommend the Banuk Champion bow for its high base Freeze severity and the Banuk Powershot Bow for the high Damage Precision Arrows. Having this combination gives you a cutting edge having to shoot only one arrow per Bow to freeze and then kill your targeted machine.

However, if you do not have those bows yet, a Rare variant will also work. Be sure to have the right modification coils attached to make things easier!
