Any thoughts on what the challenges will look like? What type of rewards will begiven? Or if you feel excluded since you're not Throne breaker?
I just wanted to thank to Kabam specifically for listening to our requests as Throne breakers and doing something new.

For rewards, not too sure about it. But I hope it is a permanent addition
Still, I actually quite like things like the 4* challenge, so I’m looking forward to this. As long as it’s not something such as ‘Kill the 5.2 Collector with a 3* Blade’ or ‘Kill Abyss Thing with 3* Quake’.
Also intrigued to see what the rewards will be. Are they going to be cosmetic, nice bonuses like the Zone 20 challenge, or typically ‘good’ rewards like Nexus’ or T5CC. I’m leaning more the 6* Sig Stone crystal level. Which is fine, I’m more here for the content
but i'm game if the rewards are equal
At this point, I'm very intrigued though.
Using revives because the fight is hard and challenges me is fine. Using revives because they’ve put a hit cap where I can only use a certain amount of hits is not good or hard content. If I die because it’s my own fault that’s fine. If there’s a node that says not hitting the opponent for 1 second makes you lose 5% of your health I’ll rightly complain.
Content like that is not fun.
Some people don’t appreciate the sort of objective systems, I personally am withholding judgment until I see it. But some don’t like being challenged to use lower ranked champions, which is fair enough.
I included, want to be able to use my rank 3 6* which I’ve put effort into getting. But a 4* challenge doesn’t let me use them.
There's also a super cool opportunity to have the challenges be classic Marvel fights. The one that immediately popped to mind is take the 6.2 champion with Thing. I know that Thing is a great option for this fight already, but Thing Vs Champion is an iconic Marvel fight, and it would be cool to encourage us to recreate those fights.
That being said, I’m absolutely coming at this with an open mind. I actually don’t mind the single 4* run of EQ objectives. Lately I’ve been doing my first pass with the 4*s so that I’m not just going back over content I’ve done a bunch when I’m doing it and it’s still fresh. But doing it more than once is a chore.
I’m really not sure what Kabam can throw at us here though. Abyss and Labyrinth have mechanics which punish you for using lower rarity champions. Act 6 and 7 have rarity gates preventing us from bringing in weaker versions. When I went through Act 5, 4* champs were the bulk of my roster, but doing it today with a 3* wouldn’t be too bad. I suppose the variants are viable for additional challenges, or maybe we’ll see something like “Solo 6.2.6 Champion with Kamala Khan.” In any event, I’m looking forward to it and I trust that they’ve thought of ways to keep it interesting.
Depending on the objectives they could likely take quite a few runs to actually complete which will be pretty costly as far as energy. Everything about the description (albeit a minimal one so far admittedly) just seems like a bad idea to me.
