I really am not liking the way this month's side quest is structured...is lame and boring no creativity at all.
Downsides(some)
1.You are forcing players to play areana , some of us do not like it.
2.You are asking to play with 2 or 3 stars , some new age players have never ranked those champs because of easy access to 4 and 5*
3.You are asking players to play repeatative champs or fight repetative champs which is worse than normal areana.
4.Structure around rewards is confusing.
5.Fininsing the fight in certain way(lights,heavy etc.) with certain class is lazy and lacks creativity.
6.No side quest to play which was fun part.
Upside.
1 last few quest have been long format repeative as well.
2.Battlechips thus some units hopefully.
3.Practive perfect parries since patch seems to be never forthcoming.
4.Energy Can be used else where then side quest.
5.No tradeoff between shards and rankup material , we can chose.
Please add more to this, as part of community feedback.
PS- Increase that 15000 cap on glory , what up with sending this many glory to us.

Cons: there's no side quest this month
I personally liked something like doing gauntlet where the rewards got better and enemies got tougher as it went along. Changing of enemies is very nice thing too and keeps it from being repetitive,
the rng rewards like when jabari panther and silver centurion SUCKED so let’s stay away from stuff like that. Idk anyone who liked jubilees arcade.
Definitly keep the influx of six star shard rewards coming with side events though. It’s really the best place to earn them and six stars are definitly becoming more prevalent now.
Thanks for listening to our opinions!
Side quests usually don’t cost energy, but the objectives are tied to the monthly quests where I normally only explore uncollected and cavalier.
Now I’m partially exploring difficulties I have no interest in, just to get the daily bugle currencies.
Overall this structure is very bad for someone like me
1. I dislike arena and never grind it.
2. I only explore Cavalier Difficulty, I don 't even bother completing lower difficulties.
3. I usually save up entries to side quests and do them together over 2-3 days at the end of the month, which isn't possible now due to the 3 day solo event.
So I've pretty much accepted that I won't be getting any significant rewards this month.
As for the event, I play arenas quite a lot so it’s not an issue for me. The long list of objectives I found super easy once I found an easy 1 energy fight to complete them all. And as for the rewards, I find it much better personally to have a shop scenario like this where we can spend on things we actually need most, rather than winning a small amount of important items and a bounty full of useless items for the overflow.

Then add to the class based ones:
10x each class .. that's another 60 ... and there isn't even that many spider-verse/sinister 6 targets in the EQ ... (which if there was ... this wouldn't be nearly as bad).
but yeah ... a good 100 fights ... that you can't knock out via the EQ ... = a disguised side quest ... that you have to find on your own .. (because for some dumb reason, you can't even search for a target champ to duel ... you can only search for summoners ... *sigh* )
I agree, it’s a grind, it’s not a forced function that doesn’t allow you to proceed to other content if you choose not to do it.
