  It's called progression, but congrats on becoming cavalier!

  Indeed . It would fun to see when I will be good enough to complete it although I doubt I would ever be good enough to actually explore it

  Yeah, difficulty scaling is kinda ridiculous between uncollected/act 5 and cavalier/act 6 content. Cavalier difficulty is definitely not something a new cav would just jump into and complete with ease no matter how "easy" some people on here might point it out to be, similar to the way they talk about variant 5 (that thing is NOT easy to explore). It (cavalier difficulty) requires a very diverse roster, with a good set of counters to each possible thing.
  
  I found the first edition to be pretty tough to explore, but now I'm getting used to it as my roster continues to expand, and I start to get more 5*s ranked and new 6*s. I used some 4*s here and there in previous editions, but now I treat it like act 6, and only use champs that are 4/55 5* and above.

  dont worry you'll get to the point were cav is a walk through and you won't have to spend items.

  For cav difficulty it’s not that it’s hard it’s having the right roster and that takes a lot of time to grow. Many of us do a path with 4*s for the 10% of a t5cc in the objectives

  Congrats! Don’t worry. It gets easier.
  
  Your post is timely—it underscores the breadth across the Cavalier titleholders in the community.
  
  It also highlights what often seems like a haphazard approach to the progression title framework. Many older Cavs run Cav EQ itemless, even for the 4* challenge (I used a couple of revives this month because I brought the wrong team for Nova in 3.2 and didn’t want to restart).
  
  And yet we are all equal Cavaliers to the game team for offer and other relevant purposes. Food for thought...

  Only advice I can give is, that you dont get intimidated by numbers and keep practising. You won't distinguish between 30 and 40k PI in no time

  Ok biohazard ? Damn that’s a nasty one . And we start with the most difficult fight ? Good thing I have mutants champs but cavalier is a really nasty thing. . I wish there was a level between uncollected and cavalier instead of getting dropped in the deep end

  The jump from UC to Cav is comparable to the jump from Master to UC. It just doesn't look like it when you're in the middle of it. The jumps have to be big, because we only have so many difficulty tiers and a wide range of players.
  
  You actually don't want tons of difficulty tiers either. They all cost energy and time, and if the game had twelve tiers instead of five tiers, the rewards in every tier would be lower, and thus players would have to play longer to get lower rewards per unit time. Or you'd have to lock players out of difficulties by progress, and you would then have to make a difficulty decision for the player. Suppose Cav players could never drop down and do master or UC by choice.
  
  Also, you'll come to appreciate when a map has the hardest fight first. Because you can just reset and do it over and over again until you beat it. Whereas if the hardest fight is deep in the map this is more time consuming and costly.

  Also note that there is no reason to jump head first into content within the first hour of it's release. Take a look at the fights, see if you have a counter and if you don't, maybe focus on ranking one up during the month. Still a lot of rewards to be had this month before you even touch the hardest difficulty. This is also a 5 week cycle so plenty of time too.

  So I just became a Cav for the cyber deals and now that is over I decided to check out the Cav part on the monthly quest and holy **** this is such a drastic jump in difficulty from Uncollected. Wow . Chapter 1.1 was difficukt but manageable. Chapter 1.2 was extremely nasty and I needed several revives and boosts .. I am not even trying Chapter 2. That diss track looks like hell
  
  Looks like becoming Cav is merely the first step and it will take me a long time until I can actually complete the Cav difficultly on the monthly quest . Still even just finishing the first chapter gives some nice rewards

  It is a big jump, but that's partly because they nerfed uncollected when they added Cav. Same thing happened to master when they added uncollected. Congrats on getting Cavalier btw.
