World Fighters Trials Guide — Easy and Medium Trial Schedules
Last updated: — Last verified:
The World Fighters trials system is the primary source of Trial Shards and
exclusive unit drops. Two trial gamemodes run on fixed hourly schedules from the Lobby:
Trial Easy and Trial Medium. This guide covers the schedule
for each, the Trial Lobby Exchange introduced on April 30, how to maximize your shard income,
and the 35 Trial Upgrades added in Update 1. All data is sourced from the official Discord
#update-logs channel and the StarX Inc Trello board.
Trial Lobby Exchange added April 30, 2026 — Update 1 QOL added a Lobby
NPC that converts standard tokens into Exchange Tokens. This is now the primary path for
Trial upgrade crafting.

Trial Lobby Exchange
The Trial Lobby Exchange was the headline feature of Update 1 QOL (April 30,
2026). A Lobby NPC now accepts your standard world tokens and converts them into
Exchange Tokens. Exchange Tokens are the crafting currency for Trial-related
upgrades and the Trial upgrade shop.
Before this patch, players had to accumulate Trial-specific drops to craft upgrades. The
Exchange system broadens the input: almost any token type you have stockpiled can feed the
Trial upgrade path, reducing the need to grind a single specific drop source. [source_021]
How to use the Trial Lobby Exchange: Look for the NPC at the Lobby area near
the trial entry portals. Interact with it to see the current exchange rates. The NPC is only
accessible when you are in the Lobby (not inside a trial instance).
35 Trial Upgrades (Update 1)
Update 1 added 35 new Trial Upgrades split across four categories. These are
permanent stat improvements purchased with Trial Shards and Exchange Tokens through the Trial
upgrade interface. The full breakdown is:

Accessories from Trials
Trial Medium is the confirmed drop source for the Sorcerer Belt, a Secret-rarity
accessory with 2.75x Power and +1.88 Crystal bonus. This is one of the highest-value accessories
in the game for Crystal farming builds. Trial Easy does not have a confirmed Secret-rarity
accessory drop from current sources. [source_015]

Accessory Pity System
Update 1 (April 25, 2026) added a pity system for accessories obtained from Secret Enemies
and gamemodes. The pity thresholds are:
Mythical Pity: 5,000 kills of the relevant Secret Enemy
Secret Pity: 25,000 kills of the relevant Secret Enemy
These thresholds apply to the Secret Enemy pity specifically. Trial-sourced accessories like the
Sorcerer Belt have their own internal rates that have not been publicly documented by the
developer. [source_021]
World Fighters Trials Strategy Tips
Do both trials each cycle. Trial Medium starts at :00 and :30; Trial Easy
starts at :15 and :45. You can complete one immediately after the other.
Prioritize Trial Upgrades early. The 35 upgrades from Update 1 are permanent
and compound with zone multipliers, so earlier investment yields more over a play session.
Use the Lobby Exchange to clear token surplus. If you have tokens from zones
you have already cleared, convert them via the Trial Lobby Exchange rather than leaving them
idle.
Gear for Goujo drops. Trial Medium is the only confirmed source of the Goujo
Exclusive Unit (Power 5,400 post-hotfix). Run Medium consistently if you are working toward
this unit.
Farm the Sorcerer Belt in Trial Medium. With 2.75x Power and +1.88 Crystal,
the Sorcerer Belt is one of the most efficient progression accessories for mid-game Crystal
income.
Trial Easy runs at :15 and :45 past each hour (every 60 minutes). It is accessible from the Lobby with no key required.
When does Trial Medium run in World Fighters?
Trial Medium runs at the top of each hour (:00) and at :30. It is accessible from the Lobby with no key required. Trial Medium was added in Update 1 (April 25, 2026).
What does the Trial Lobby Exchange do?
The Trial Lobby Exchange (added in Update 1 QOL on April 30, 2026) lets you trade standard tokens at a Lobby NPC for Exchange Tokens. Exchange Tokens are used in the Trial upgrade shop and crafting systems.
Can you get Goujo from World Fighters trials?
Yes. Goujo (Exclusive Unit) was added as a drop reward in Trial Medium as compensation for the Update 1 PT.2 balance hotfix on April 29, 2026. It does not drop from Trial Easy.
