Talk:Trial of the Fool/@comment-38584539-20190220123623

I think the only hard part in this trial is the no floor section (waves 14-15); I died like a million times there, because I suck at dodging. The build that finally allowed me to survive it was Dream Wielder, Dreamshield, Sharp Shadow, Unbreakable Heart, Thorns of Agony and Longnail.

Sharp Shadow and Dreamshield help in avoiding projectiles, all the while being great damage supplements. I tried with Unbreakable Strength a thousand times, but it is much easier to just concentrate on dodging and let these two charms do their work. Sharp Shadow also helps reaching the opposite wall in waves 14-15. For the rest: as mentioned above, Thorns of Agony really helps in tight situations ... and I just needed Heart to stay alive.

Quick Focus is mentioned in the article, but it is completely unnecessary. There are enough opportunities to heal: Shielded Fools and the Garpede wave give ample time to fully heal and fill up the soul meter, and it is even possible to heal one heart between attacks of Volt Twisters. You can utilize those 3 notches much better.

(BTW. after I managed to finish the Trial with this setup, I tried Gortheus's pet build, and succeeded on the first try. Just make sure you go all  the way with it because adding only a single pet, such as Grimmchild, will only make it harder to gather soul.)
