How is 250 5* Shards EPIC?

in General Discussion
I’ve lost track how many times I’ve done the EPIC challenge. All I’ve gotten everytime is 250 5* shards. How is that EPIC?

I received 200 5* shards from Master. There is a very serious level difference in Epic versus master.

Epic should *start* at 1000 5* shards.

    I know someone who got 2500 once from it. I have received only 250 5* shards, 1000 T5B frags, and T2A frags

    Ok, but how many times did they have to enter?

    I get through it ok each time it’s just a bother. Had to revive one champ occasionally, but it’s just annoying to have rewards that are barely better than Master. I’m running out of tickets to use and still just getting 250 5* shards.

    If it was ‘enter as many times as you like’, I’m ok with getting less, however, there are a finite number of attempts one can make.

    A master run.

    Kind fells it shuld have ben 500 shard.

    For 1 fight? Sorry 250 just feels fine to me. Your talking 5000 shards for 25 fights that are what 110k health?
    Double or x4 the rewards if you double or x4 the difficulty

    It’s a 30k rating enemy pal, and if you get ambushed by Vulture he’s another 16k rating. I’d say 1.5k for first time completion and 300 each run after that

    Yup, even 1.5k + 300 each time would have felt a bit better :)

    It still helped but seemed a little on the low side.

    I think people miss the point behind epic chest rewards
    It's the RNG that's beginning to make things feel unfair
    Player A runs through epic 10 times, 4 out of those he gets 2500 5* shards
    Player B does 10 runs and gets 250 5* shards
    Its not about end game players or middle tier or what not
    Heck middle tier players would stand to benefit also if the shards started at 1000 or 500 even
    And some are making it seem like the challenges can be run unlimited times. It can't.

    I'm pretty sure that nobody that plays this game got 2500 5 star shards 4/10 times from running this event

    Kabam rng making things unfair for people? Unheard of 🤔🤔🤔🤔

    Meant in a general statement before people jump on that.

    Free shards from chilled challenge were nice. Pulled 250 5* shards most time and several 1000 t2a shard pulls.

    Ye it’s more like
    1/50 chance of getting 2.5k 5* shards

    These are great practice verse unstunnable Nightcrawler.

    I got 250 almost every time I went, and when I didn't get that I got t2a and t5b fragments. Every little bit helps. I didn't get lucky on any of those GGC with 5* shards either. You just have to take what the contest (Kabam) gives you. Also, the Road to Greatness arena starts within an hour where you can get 10k 5* shards for hitting 1 million.

    it most definitely should not. what's that like a total of like 30k shards minimum if you get all the gadget things?

    New 2* arena 1st milestone 500 5* shards (For comparison). Thanks kabam.
    ..peace out...

    You're crazy. It took me an average of about three minutes to complete each run. That would be 20k 5* shards an hour *minimum* earning rate. I ended with 4750 5* shards. If all of the 250 runs were 1k runs, that would have been 11250 more 5* shards. That's on top of the 6k t5b and 3k t2a. For about 70 minutes of playtime?

    How many fights to first milestone again? There was a chance to get waaaaay more than 500 shards in less than half the fights it took to get to that 1st milestone in the 2* arena. Not to mention Chilled Challenges cost nothing.

    I've gotten some great practice that's helped me out alot in final bosses in war from doing these. I will agree 250 is a bit low and that's all I seem to get from these. I feel like the 2500 and the 250 should have a middle ground. 600 shards would be a nice number I think.

    2+5×0=5*(1)
    5 = E

    2x5+0+5+1
    16 = P

    2x5+(0×5)-1
    9 = I

    2+(5×0×5)+1
    3 = C

    So...
    250 5* = EPIC
