I feel ready to face them but just want to be sure. What is like variant 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.. this means the event quests right?
just want to be clear im thinking about this the right way.

    It's the monthly event quests from a couple of years ago. Same dialogues, same map. Different champions, nodes and rewards. As well as an higher difficulty.

    This is a content made for endgame players, and kinda serves as a nostalgic purpose as well.

    That's the perfect time to get started on the variants.
    It's best to do them in descending order: 4>3>2>1, because it's the easiest order.

    Variant 4 is the easiest to explore (provided you have a 1* Hulk). If you have a strong tech roster it's likely you can explore Variant 3 too.
    2 and 1 isn't worth exploring until later imo since they're a lot longer and harder than 3 and 4 although I would recommend completing them.

    If you're act 6, you should be able to do at least some of the variants

    I'm where you are. I haven't gotten past that Sinister boss in early 6.2 (I have some champs who could work but it's going to be a unit fest). There are variants that are probably easier than that.

    I've 100%'d 3, 4, & 5 and they're all pretty reasonable with a good roster. 1 & 2 I will hit here and there but because they're longer, I just don't get around to them as much.

    But I'd definitely hit them if you've made your way into Act 6 and feel you're sitting on a pretty good roster

    Then you are probably ready to do the Variant quests, from Waning Moon, followed by Polar Opposites, then Mystery in Micro-realms. The Ultron one is the harder one, so let that for the end

    Variant 1 and 2 are longer, as each chapter has 3 instead of 2 quests. However, the big difference between Variant 2 and 3, in my opinion, is your roster. If you have a lot of strong XL champs but a weaker Tech roster, you may find V2 easier to explore than V3. And the reverse would be true if you've got a strong Tech roster but maybe are lacking in XL champs.

    4 is the best to start, it gets easier as you go.

    Variant 4 was the most fun for me because we were able to use our entire roster from 1 star to 6 stars. it was a nice change of pace.

    i've 100% them all except V1. i completed V1 but i don't plan to explore it anytime soon because the rewards aren't really great considering the rank ups are for 2015 champs mostly except the exploration one. after exploring the other 3 i was like ... uhh yeah i'll wait on this one lol

    i'd definitely do V4 first and see where you are after that on wanting to do more.

    4 is the easiest.
    I wasn't keen on 3 personally, but if you're good with ghost its a cheese.
    2 I found easiest, with Domino heavy w/ Rhulk synergy, or XL champs its quite easy
    1 is probably the hardest without specific counters or high level champions in each class.

    I haven’t personally completed any variants, however I’ve tried my hand at them.

    3 is fun with my Sentinel, 4 i think I can do if I save up units pots and revives, 2 is okay, and 1 is atrocious and I never want to do it.
