This month's event quest. Is it fair?

I'm curious to know who finished it because I know that some have finished it but at what cost?
And also do you think this month is fair?
Last month was the first uncollected I have not finished in months although I was still able to complete it by killing guillotine once.
But this month there is only 1 path that is nearly impossible to finish and if you don't finish it you can't even get rewards for completion!
In my opinion it isn't fair at all and just a rip off move but wanted to know what others think.
Fair or rip off?

I enjoyed it.. Seeing the rewards all stack up on screen together was nice (100% other chapters before taking Thanos on)
The one line was pretty awesome..
Personally I would have preferred taking on his army (Having all the unnamed ect, on the line leading up to him) and only fought him once..
But still really enjoyable to be honest..
Exactly! When an event quest boss is harder than any other boss in the game including act 5 you should know something is seriously stupid! Especially when the rewards are exactly the same!
Practice, practice, practice. Its not that bad after you get used to the mechanics.
It are two different Thanosses, who you both have to kill once. So I disagree with you on this.
I used items, couple of single revives and 2 team revives. Why? Cuz I screwed up, I didn’t evade the right glowing orb thingy from his 2nd special (which was the hardest phase imo) and because nerves got the better of me when he was at 1% health left (he had 717 health when I started the final fight). But when he went down, I was like “yessssss!!” It was like beating General Raam from Gears Of War 1 for the first time (damn that was a tough boss).
It was a fun learning experience for me, so would I call it fair? Sure. Especially given the fact that you have a whole month to go for it.
I got him down in Uncollected with 30 minutes prep work and no items used (except boosts). I did have a team of 5/65 and 4/55's though.
I do agree with the OP that I'm not particularly comfortable combining explore and completion. I could complete last months, but could not explore. This month, you have to explore to get completion.
Using energy costs (units to buy refills) is not a valid metric because not everyone blasts through it in the first few days. I just keep my timer running, go as I get the energy, and it ends up taking me a little over 3 weeks to explore everything (Beginner through Uncollected). So in that regard, my energy costs are zero and haven't "saved" anything.
Watched one vid on him before I went into the fight so I was familiar with his mechanics. I just stacked #Avengers and tore through Thanos. Was a little slow here and there, became lazy and stopped paying attention a few times, and ended up buying 1 team revive.
Obviously, the first approach is easier on the inventory. But it can be done with pure force of will/wallet.
There are multiple videos on YouTube that you can study and even “ghost swipe” as if you are playing along to help build the muscle memory. Many of those use 4*’s to do significant damage to Thanos, and a variety of champs are available for attack. This is perhaps the best part in my opinion: the path doesn’t rely on a single champ or combo of champs to win. You have options—and you can practice with all of them to determine what works for you.
I understand the gripe about Completion and Exploration being the same, but this is unlike any other boss fight in game in that you don’t have to clear 10-15 additional champs with buffs to get to him. That more then offsets any claim that the last quest is unfair in my opinion.

If you really think that thanos is the hardest fight in the game or more unfair than anything in the game i'm assuming you haven't fought the collector yet because thanos can be solo'd or at least 2 shot with 4 stars and not even god tier ones while the collector is just random with specials you cannot evade
Actually I have a few champs I'd like to tet on the collector that might make him very easy to deal with. But Thanos have no such counters.
There are counters to Thanos... you can one shot him unlike the collector....
