Narrative
Join Beta Ray Bill as he fights his way through Arcade's final challenge for The Contest's Champions! Arcade has created a set of deadly virtual reality war zones that Bill and The Summoner will need to fight through if they're going to put an end to Arcade's reign of terror. Acquire Beta Ray 1-Up Entry Items by defeating opponents using Champions with either the #SagaAttacker or #SagaDefender tags. Use these Beta Ray 1-Ups to gain entry to the Beta Ray Battle Zone Quests and fight randomized opponents to claim the rewards these digital defenders guard! Be warned though, these quests update every 7 days, so you'll need to keep coming back to clear new zones and complete the rotating weekly Solo Objectives!

When will we see side quest crystals become paragon/valiant crystals for valiants?
Like the actual side quest entry/paths, if you do threat level 5 you'd only get threat lvl 5 rewards, which makes sense.
But does completing certain objectives by playing those modes and using certain champions fulfill objectives for lvl 5 as well as 4,3,2,1 for example "solo objective game changer"?
As for the question of auto complete, my understanding now is that each Solo Objective is locked to the progression of the player. So players who are Paragon will only ever see the Paragon Solo Objectives, not the ones for lower progression levels.
So my doubt is so we play threat level 5 side to get all 1,2,3,4,5 level rewards or do we get to only any of the one threat rewards
There are too many things happening yet not clear how to go about doing them
Kindly clarify
So you just want them to make content easier?
No.. But the rule of only being able to use a character once this mission.. and it being geared to 7 star R2s, and 6 star r5s
Is quite ridiculous.. Only whales have that kind of roster
Not every piece of content that's released is meant for lower progressions. It's designed to give bigger accounts a challenge and to give everyone else something to work towards. They threw a bone to lower progression levels by adding a normal difficulty that gives you the DV piece and some other stuff. Players that can't jump into the Legendary difficulty should focus on completing normal difficulty within the 30 days.

Not even close. People.who play the game somewhat regularly have this kind of roster. Anyone can get that kind of roster for free.
