Question to Valiant: Do you still play monthly EQ gauntlet run?

This question is about how relevant the rewards of MEQ from valiant’s perspective.
- Exploration reward from TB EQ looks pretty outdated and irrelevant for 7* roster growth.
- 1,800 refined XP from gauntlet run is like a joke if you can get 1,000 refined XP from DSE everyday.
- T2 dusts importance varies esp if you have already ascended a lot of 6*.
- It’s not about asking player auto run lower level EQ for units. I’m talking about TB and gauntlet run.

    No. Glad to have a good reason to avoid it. A time sink that often had some stupidly frustrating nodes. Stopped it months ago, and not missed the outdated rewards at all. The only thing that was interesting was the 100 dust for 6 stars as I find it still nice for those 6 stars that aren’t 7 stars yet.

    It takes too much energy for it to be worth it for me. I'm in a really low tier alliance so I don't get a lot of energy refills.

    Haven't done EQ gauntlet in maybe a year? 🤔 As much as I love 7* shards, having to fully explore EQ again had gotten too tedious and rewards were stale. I'm over it.

    Yes, the difficulty level of Thronebreaker EQ is what I like to play. Not into the crazy Epoch/Woe/Carina-type quests. Those just frustrate me. I like Thronebreaker EQ, Paragon Gauntlet and the monthly side quests. Those are usually tuned just right for enjoyable play. If a quest requires revives to finish, then I think it's a badly designed quest, or at least one I am not ready to do and prefer not to do. The abovementioned ones rarely require revives, or maybe just one near the end to avoid replaying the whole lane.

    While the Thronebreaker rewards are not useful, the Paragon Gauntlet rewards are still mostly things I need. I need rank up mats for 7-stars, 7-star shards, 6-star relic shards, celestial alloys, etc. I'm still chasing a 6-star Valkyrie and Angela, which are not in the 7-star basic pool, so those 6-star nexus crystals are useful too.

    I do still collect revives in Apothecary, and attempt harder quests once they've built up and are about to expire. But one of those quests alone tends to burn out my entire inventory. So they get done very slowly. I just recently finished Act 9 exploration. I'd say my account is an average Valiant, with a dozen R3 7-stars, about 20 R2s and about 30 ascended 6-stars.

    Straight up didn’t get to finish it last month because I didn’t want to do it until two days prior. Missing that 100 t2 Primordial Dust from Paragauntlet, but only a bit since everything’s progressing towards 7*s exclusively.

    What else am I gonna use my overflow of expiring energy refills on?
    It's too easy not to explore.
