Gifting requirements are bit of an overkill

I started November 17 and am at level 41. Haven't used any units except two to unlock 1st mastery (think it was parry). You don't need dex. I only got well after completing Act 4. Am at 5050 units. Have enjoyed playing it more than my main. Now question is do I use units or continue playing on alt since enjoying it.

Only fight I haven't gotten by is a 15k Mag with 1% regen. Have no real blockers or reverse champs.

Got to level 40 before they gave out Herc. Haven't used him at all.

Lol. I defeated that mags with ibom 4* at rank 4. Then I remembered how tough it was when I started on my main to defeat that guy.😂😂

Looks like I am in the minority of wanting to gift to my lowest alt account.

Getting to lvl 40 is brutal for someone with some semblance of a life. Those last 5-10 levels take a good while. Far from impossible and honestly not really too unreasonable but it's more than some here are making it out to be. Now if you can throw on a big XP boost and sit and grind for a few hours in one shot a few times then it's easy work, if that's the case I'd suggest finding something else to do.

Mate what do you mean it takes a week to do 1-3 lol literally a couple of hours and act 1 to 4 are done, I've done it in under three hours multiple times, and most of that is act 4... acts 1-3 can be done in under two hours mate with minimal effort and low level champions

I know I have been wrong with many things here, especially the energy cost and dexterity. Maybe I have f-ed up some XP boosts, but this I just don't believe. Week is a lot I admit, but 3 hours to go through Act 1-4 from scratch?

I have done stupid math once so I shall repeat that for further entertainment: Acts 1-4 are 8 chapters total (1+1+2+4). Chapter has 6 quests (so 6*8=48 quests total), and each quest has 7 fights (or at least a vast majority. Beginning of Act 1 has less, Act 4 has more, imo 7 is a good average). With 48 quests, that makes 7*48 = 336 fights. And 3 hrs are 180 minutes. You said you did it "under three hours". Now if I neglect all other stuff like ranking up any champs, moving on the map, using items, victory screens etc, you'd have to complete each fight in under 32 seconds, provided that you solo them. If you really start from absolutely new account, it sounds hard to believe to say at least...

You're approaching it from the perspective of someone with other things to do and not someone who can sit down and grind in chunks of 4 hours or so. Considering the real XP for leveling comes from act 4 which you can't autofight at that low level it requires actually playing. I got mine to level 30 in a flash and getting to level 40 (almost there) has been a process over a few weeks now. I have a job and kid and working a ton extra this time of year so I run the alt a bit in the morning and at night (run out the energy each time) so it's slow going.

Now let me get this straight:
Yes, I created an alt account
Yes, it is eligible with the creation date
Yes, it is unfair and I understand why I must be prevented from meeting the requirements.
Am I salty? No. The units gained are a giant pile so it'd be indeed gamebreaking.

Fine, now let me explain my point:

Exploring Act 1-3 takes about a week if you are a semi-nolifer like me. It gives a whooping 3000 units, which is unfairly lot, so some regulation is definitely required. (Where I live, 3000 units is the equivalent of 20% of minimum monthly wage just btw)

So added regulation:
1. Complete Act 4
2. Level 40
3. Account creation date

Now: after Act 3 it is possible to have ~3-5 4*s (if I don't count the free Herc). To do Act 4 w them, you need to unlock dexterity (so -300 units). Then it just takes a lot of time.

Then the level 40. If you do Act 1-3 exploration + Act 4 completion, you get to realistically a level 30. That means, you have to pretty much explore whole Act 4 in order to reach the required 40 (Act 4 completion takes you 25->30). If I were to count it: each quest has like 4-5 paths minimum. Exploration of Act 4 is about 120 paths, which is around 120 full energy bars (3600 units worth of refills). And that ignores some supremely annoying fights in the quests that need specific counters or luck and also rewards aren't honestly worth it.

So, at this point it is imo clear, that the account age is completely unnecessary. It is not in human power to manage so much playtime. If an account was created after the required date, it would be physically very nearly impossible to meet the other requirements. And if someone spends so much time in-game, tbh they deserve those GGCs because it would be a mindnumbing grind.

TL;DR: requirements are fine, effectively prevent cheating, but 2/3 effectively prevent it, so the remaining third is redundant.

,,You need to unlock dexterity". I stopped reading right there. Probably you will continue to say you need 200 unit 75% exp boost and unlock 20% exp mastery too. Also buy 35 reffils open up 2 cavaliers to maybe get a 6 star and while your at it maybe unlock suicides as well?

Ouch but you are right. I forgot about existence of Variants. The rest is a well made stabby joke, good job in all honesty.

However all bad is good for something, so please tell me how do I complete Act 4 without dexterity? Blocked SPs start to cause way too much damage and I just can't parry them all

It's really not that hard.
