September Content - Echoes in Eternity/Gladiator's Gauntlet
Side content is a series of quests, 9 in total, of increasing difficulty. Beating one will unlock the next. Final tier is a single gladiator fight, and there will be objectives to beat it with certain classes, tags, etc. Keys will be unlocked from an easy solo event, and will use the new-ish time locking feature. Details should be on the forum now.Gladiator/Iron Man Buff
Iron Man's buff takes the place of a second new champ in September. Will have all normal things for new champions, arena, featured crystals, early access bundles, etc. Complete remaster with new abilities, model, and animations. Build armor by attacking and blocking. Parrying specials pause armors. Has prowess removal, and on demand regen.Gladiator can chain heavies from his combo. He has access to unblockable, a lot of burst damage, and some DOT debuffs. Immune to power drain and burn, and has 200% ability accuracy (neutralize isn't usually effective). Self synergy for 5% attack and armor rating for team.
Deep Dives will be live over the weekend

And looks like September’s gonna be another fun month.
they explained this on the stream (and in this post)- it will require slightly more energy to complete but exploration will cost significantly less energy to do.
So they’ve lessened the grind and energy required to 100% the eq
If there are less paths that means we have less EQ enemies to fight in a month without repeating paths and if it costs more energy to run a path that is less fights we can accomplish with our energy limit without having to wait for it to refill or buying refills.
This seems to be yet another example of Kabam not thinking through all the consequences of their changes, or just not caring that we get screwed in the solo events.
