Completing both Trials' initial levels gives you a combined 4 points if desired.

3rd Ascendancy (6 Points Total)
Options:

Sekhemas Tier 3, area level ≥ 60 with a Djinn Barya that has “Number of Trials: 3”.

If you’re underleveled, consider over-leveling to ≥ 60 before attempting harder difficulty runs for a smoother experience
