Family Trials needs a separate approach. Story skill ranks and family upgrades do not transfer into an identical Trials build. Trials uses its own talent choices during the run, and effects that were runes in the campaign are handled differently. A practical Trials decision is whether the offers support primary fire, control, or a particular ability interaction. Don't chase a named build so hard that you ignore a useful option already available. If a promising talent needs an effect you don't yet have, recognize that you're investing in a possibility rather than an existing combination. Likewise, an effect triggered by killing enemies may be useful in busy rooms without doing the same work against an isolated boss. Before a harder fight, ask whether your damage depends on a crowd being present. The mistakes to watch are standing still past the safe window, exhausting mana on easy encounters, treating Ward as permission to absorb every hit, and copying a Story build into Trials as if the systems were identical. Lucy gives you several ways to create space and then punish anything inside her firing line. The strategy is learning how to keep those opportunities coming. Start with her control tools, add damage that matches how you actually play, and keep enough room to get out when the fight changes.
