Best Of

Okay. That was something. I just played and beat this event quest, and I truly think this is one of the worst pieces of content they have ever released. I am a newer Valiant player. My prestige is 16,346, so I am in the lowest bracket of Valiant players.

This event quest for me was nothing but an item vacuum. I thankfully had enough revives, potions, and boosts to trudge through this whack quest. I kid you not, I used over 40 revives and over 100 potions to get through this quest. Call it a skill issue, but the biggest problem was the fact that my roster is not that developed.

15 Fights before the boss is just bonkers. Kabam, you want us to have 15 champions of each class at least at a rank three 6-star level to be able to do decent enough damage to the defenders before you die to block damage? 90 champions?? My roster is not that fleshed out. Even if it was, I'm sure I would be searching for champions that actually benefit from the class-specific nodes.

With how my run went, not having the right champions resulted in some very long fights. I'm talking like 300+ hits just to beat one path fight. That quest with skill champions only was the worst, and that brings me to my next point.

THE NODES. What are these horrible nodes and combinations??? The ones that are supposed to benefit you, the player. The only one that worked decently was the mutant one because it is general enough for any mutant to work with it. Get bleed damage from biohazard, do a special, convert bleeds to get a lot of furies, and do mad damage. That quest was fair and fun.

The skill node has to be the worst, with how restrictive it is. We have to land critical hits to shrug off debuffs. That would work if you consistently crit with every skill champion. You are forcing me to switch characters every fight. "Just use a character that shrugs off debuffs naturally." Once again, that works for a few fights, but I can't play Agent Venom, Kingpin, or whoever else the whole quest. Combine that with the other node that randomly turns off willpower, and you get a quest that is just there to drain resources and is just not fun.

The class-specific nodes need to be revamped. Maybe take some buffs from incursions and throw them on there so you can literally use anybody with the node if you want to continue with this gauntlet format.

Also, why is it that when I beat the quest, the rewards screen was just blank? I didn't even think I got my rewards after beating Elder. I lowkey panicked thinking the game glitched out or something after I spent all this time beating this quest just for me to not get my stuff. Y'all really need to fix that. It was very deflating to see nothing pop up but a few selectors for T5CC after I beat the last boss. Show me my shards or a crystal I just earned or something.

Overall, this quest was awful. Playing through this quest reminded me of why I stopped playing the game 4 years ago. Like a wise man once said, "If it's not fun, why bother?" For this to be the monthly event quest is just mind-blowing to me. This feels rushed and out of touch. I hope that next month's quest is actually decent and fun. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
