Since we don't know what standard you use when you judge their ability as "decent", it's hard to say how well things would go at minimum ilvl.

I would ask how "failure tolerant" your friends are. Some players rise to the occasion when they hit a wall. Some get easily discouraged.

If they're the former, go ahead and give MINE a try for the first clear. If they're the latter, I'd start with normal syncing then switch to MINE if they are clearing as easily as you think they will.
Yeh after rereading I realised that, in my head basic trials are just... like... arr's extreme cuz the mechanic are realllyy basic.(but definitely the words I chose weren't the adequate)

I actually do not know how patient they are... I prog Ultimate so I'm very patient.
I'm expecting a few wipes but I don't know if they'll give up after 3 wipes or after 30.

I thought of starting with normal syncing but the issue I have is that, the first thing they'll experience will feel like "the default difficulty". If I go from normal syncing to MINE, mine will feel like they went from normal to hard, but if we go from MINE to normal sync, it will like they went from normal to easy.

I think it's better to go from MINE to normal sync, if it's too hard, we go normal sync and then they can still be happy about clearing it.
Or complain that the gap between the 2 is just absurd (pretty sure the gap in difficulty will be enormous, I did Zordiark+Hydealin recently... it was surprising how little dmg the boss did with everyone having 650+)
