April's Side Quest is a BRAND NEW Structure - Vaults

Heavy is the Crown

Every good chessmaster is always a few moves ahead of their opponent. So you’ll need to start planning because Kingpin has made a move by stealing Mystically empowered artifacts. These artifacts have been locked into Kingpin’s vault for safekeeping and their enchantments have made these vaults into a Chessboard of challenges.

Lacking on the 7* shards once again for Paragon. Brilliant stuff.

Buttehrs

Can we start getting more t6c or nah? A few 5% per month is criminal at this point.

N8buckeye08

Am I reading this correct that there is only 100 T2 primordial dust for paragon again? Boo

benshb

When can we expect the monthy crystals for valiants to became paragon crystals?

Josh2507

Rewards are ok I guess, nothing groundbreaking

Gameplay sounds a little like this months quest but without the exploit of doing the lowest threat level

SteveM

Are these amounts right based on the progressions?

Ironman3000

Ugh, another month that's too confusing to be fun.

Dr_doom1

Why are conq, uncollected and cavalier together thats a crime to give conq same rewards as cavalier

Where does it say anything close to that? Is just the list of champions in the crystal, no 7-stars there

Stop with the relic rewards? It's been LONG months since yall released new relics, what's even point?
Do that, can you?

Unless your a mega whale and have all available relics as 5 and 6*, then the relic rewards are fine.

There's no point of collecting ALL relics of ALL tiers unless you're a collector (get it 🤣)
Literally no difference other than nieche interaction in nieche fights in nieche nodes

Want more 7 star shards? Get valiant it’s that simple.

Viper198787

Am I missing something on the traders outpost bundles or are they just extremely underwhelming for the amount of work put in? I stopped doing the Knull side quests this month because all I get is mysterium and you trade it in for limited quantities of okayish resources.

The more champs you have ranked up, the more relics you want to have for that sweet combo extender on every champ. And you want to have the 5* and 6* rarities, too, because of the quicker spirit gauge…

Thats the point. How did you reached the conclusion that was refering to 7-stars?

See, this comment right here.
Let's be honest. The only thing stopping the majority of Paragons is the existence of the two R3s. Before the Title even existed, everyone at that level was deep in the process of working on their 7* Roster.
If someone made the argument that Valiant deserve MORE, that's logical. It can also be supported by the needs of their Rosters.
Telling people to get Valiant if they want more 7*s is ignorant to the fact that the trend lately is to omit the 7* Shards from these progress-based reward situations. More is one thing. Cutting them off completely is the same as saying they're not appropriate to that level, and that I strongly disagree with.

I think you missed the point of the question mark.
I asked the question because there was no reference regarding the amount of stars the champions would have. The answer to that question would get me to a conclusion.

Defeat FEMALE TAGGED Champs…

There isn’t an actual TAG for FEMALE (or Male) in game.
Similar to non-existent CANADIAN Tag.

Curious, is there an “internal” Tag for these in game (that just isn’t visible to us in Tag Filter or Champ Profile), or are Objectives like these manually coded with a list of all the individual champs available each time another Objective like this comes up in a given month ?

So wondering if say a new Canadian champ were added to game, would Kabam have to go back into that Canadian quest/objective and add such new champ into that list, or is there an internal “Canadian” Tag that makes that seamless when a new champ gets that internal Tag ?

(For example/fun, re Canadian. another Deadpool, which drew the ire of a certain Canadian equivalent of the Blue Fairy, since Deadpool sort of breaks the 4th-wall Rules and might be able to transcend into Disne…'s other realms. And this Fairy does a sort of “opposite of Pinocchi..” on him, turning him into a WOODEN DEADPOOL. And then goes on to team up with Groot and K.G. to have some Synergies with).

Ugh, another month that's too confusing to be fun.

For real. As soon as I saw how much was involved, I scrolled right past it all. 😂

FunnyDude

Can we start getting more t6c or nah? A few 5% per month is criminal at this point.

This is why I always feel like a joke when those famous forum names start to blablabla economy system of the game and why Kabam is so careful about changing things.
Economy system of the game is broken.

Jack2634

even as a valiant, the rewards are below my expectations. Basic alpha selector was a big W kabam has made, but i am surprised how lacking of the t6cc were

Kabam trying to walk a fine line there, after giving us Female theme event, now in April they literally want us to defeat Females specifically 💀

A 6* Awakening Gem for completing a selected *Threat Level..? 😐
Common you guys! I have like 15 of these! Maybe at least make it 20 7* sig stones or something. Paragon+ hardly could care about generic awakening gems at this point in game.

Standardman1989

For me its time to stop side quest the reward are not amazing
