Should all of Act 8 be modified for 7* bonuses?

Usagicassidy

Since 8.3 was developed and came out when 7 Stars were introduced, there is a 7* Attack Rating Bonus in 8.3 that rewards you for having and using 7* Champions. Act 8.3 still has the 6* bonus, which is less than if using a 7* Champion.

Compare that to the previous Chapters in Act 8, where you only have a bonus for using 6* Champions - as that was the highest that existed at the time. Now obviously, with how the Attack Rating scales, at the moment it's still a better bonus applied to your 6* R4/R5's than a 7* that's only R1 or R2 for now.

But to me, for the long term effects of the Story Content, should a 7 Star champion bonus also be retroactively added to the rest of act 8?

No, 8.1 and 8.2 should remain with only 6* bonuses

No, because in 8.1 and 8.2 7 stars weren't a thing yet.

It's good enough that if you have some 7 stars you can bring them in and essentially they're the same as bringing in a 6 star and getting that bonus, imo.

The bonuses are there for the time the content became available. You can't go back and change it as the meta of the game changes...

If you have 7*s on your initial pass through 8.1 and 8.2, you already have all the tools that you need to do the content. This is already easy, there is no need to lower the bar even further.

I don't really think it's needed, bit pointless really considering ALL of act 8 can still be done using 5*s 🤷‍♂️. Only my opinion, of course

If you need that extra help in any of act 8, then maybe go back to act 7 and build your roster up.

The original point of adding the bonuses, if I remember correctly, was to incentivize 6* use when they were still a bit more rare, and people were choosing between a maxed 5* champ and a lower rank/sig 6*. The difference is that 6* R3 is the equivalent of 5* maxed, while 7* R2 is the equivalent of 6* maxed (not including ascension). It’s not a massive difference, but there is one.

Also, I’d rather they not retroactively make it easier, whilst also possibly introducing some sort of bug or messing things up unintentionally.

There’s always a progression of when things should be introduced, and I don’t think you’ll find many people who are upset with where the bar currently is. Sure, some would prefer it to be easier, but I doubt they would have called for it or even noticed it if it wasn’t addressed.
