Goodly Trials Builds - Team Comps & Formations

Start with a complete formation instead of a loose unit idea. Each build shows a board, roster, gear goals, strengths, and trade-offs, then opens in the Builder so you can change it for your own run.

From idea to board

Choose a starting point, then make it yours.

These are player-made starting ideas, not official developer builds or permanent meta claims. The one-click action loads the visible leader, week, units, positions, compatible public item examples, and planning note into the Builder, where every part remains movable or removable.

Best forTesting a simple front-and-back arrangement before committing to shop purchases.

+ Strengths

  • Keeps the Goodly Knight forward so adjacent allies can benefit from its published base effect.
  • Leaves room to adapt to the live shop and unlocked cells.
  • Uses current public unit cards only.

− Weaknesses

  • No fixed loadout is assumed because shop rolls and board rules can change the right purchase.
  • It is not supported by published win-rate evidence.
  • A small company has less coverage when the formation breaks.

Best forTrying a clear backline role without treating a gear list as guaranteed.

+ Strengths

  • The Archer's published base card has extended attack range.
  • The formation is easy to move, prune, and expand in the Builder.
  • No unsupported fixed item rolls are presented as fact.

− Weaknesses

  • The backline still needs protection from pathing and flank pressure.
  • It is a player-made starting point, not an official composition.
  • Unlocked cells and opponents can require a different shape.

Best forComparing a spell-oriented backline with a simple front screen.

+ Strengths

  • Separates the Wizard from strength-dependent allies affected by its published base effect.
  • Leaves equipment choices open for the current shop and card capacity.
  • The compact board can be changed immediately in the Builder.

− Weaknesses

  • The plan does not prove a particular item will appear in a run.
  • Spacing is vulnerable when enemies reach the back row.
  • This is editorial theorycraft, not official balance advice.

Best forExploring a two-card Bone Host starting shape without inventing a meta claim.

+ Strengths

  • Uses two current public Bone Host cards.
  • The Skeleton Child's published base effect includes one battle respawn.
  • The layout is deliberately small and easy to revise.

− Weaknesses

  • It does not predict a live match outcome.
  • No gear roll is assumed.
  • A two-unit test shape is not a complete company.
