Valiant EQ is disgusting

Gojira2006

So I just got a chance to try the new valiant EQ format. At first it didn’t seem that bad, but then I looked for a few more seconds. I can bring in a team of 3 but only use one per fight? Then I have to finish each fight with as much health as possible because the health carries over to the next area. And on top of all that, the rewards have been nerfed. I know people were complaining about how the valiant gauntlet before was not friendly to smaller rosters but this is the opposite of how they should have fixed it. The game is turning into a blatant cashgrab and I hate it. Why’d they even change it???

Rewards are nerfed??
Who said that?

Gamer

the rewards is the same just spread out

Furrymoosen

It is less roster dependant than before, the rewards are identical (just reorganized) and yes, it is a worse setup than the previous version. Ranting about things that aren't true isn't helpful feedback for the team.

Eq needs to be small roster friendly is a myth.

I remember when emma frost UCEQ wad launched back in the day. The forums went crazy mad how unfair she was.
My roster was small. I prepared for it and did every single path on that quest with 20% boost and some revive investment. Why I did that? Because I wanted the rewards.
That same thing applys here.

I'm not against understandable complaints. This one is not it.

If you have a decent roster, it shouldn't be a problem.

The rewards are up to par with the difficulty. If the health was restored with each swap it would be too easy.

long-time players flash back to the Ice Phoenix EQ boss back in the day whenever someone brings up a boss with limited options or unavoidable damage.

That was the Rogue show.

I was a bit confused on the first quest, as I got to the selector node before 2nd Psycho Man, and threw Knull, Venom, and Scream (for the 2 spideys afterwards) into my team, fought Psycho Man, then immediately had to switch all 3 champs out again despite not using Venom/Scream. Like, what's the point? Do I really need to add 2 synergies to the one champ I'm going to fight with?

Just poor design.

LeinadSagrav

I prefer the previous design. Having to fight Annihilus like six times was no fun lol

TotemCorruption

Ok, I was just looking at a youtube run and couldn't understand that "design choice," so I guess it's just a trap to get us to use one champ but eliminate two more.

Can anyone tell me if you can use different rareties of the same champ?
Like if I use a 7* Bullseye, can I then also use 6* Bullseye later, or will it not let me?

MystG

Yes you can

TotemCorruption

Cool, thanks!

After I realized the gimmick, I would just take one “real” champ for the mid-map boss and then two random schmucks. If your primary champ gets knocked out, you are going to have to spend a revive on the next section of the map, even if you use a second or third champ to finish off the mid-map boss. So better to just revive the champ you know is best for the boss fight instead of using an alternate champ.

Bad design all around. Seems like the SQ team was given a shot at the big time with monthly EQ.

MystG

Also a side note, not sure about other ones but these quests allow swapping KOed champs too, so no need to revive all the champs for boss fights (at least for the final boss fight lol).

BringPopcorn

They should apply that same thing on the Raid swap node.

I will never forget that. The one and only EQ I never fully explored cause of that fight.

Feuerschwer

On the mid-boss team swaps I switched in a couple low-rarity synergy champs plus the actual boss-killer, then healed them to full with extra low-tier potions.

JackTheSnack

Is that the only double quest? That’s the one I’m on and I’m already tired of it

Dwightfartschrute

On mid-map boss swap, you can take two lower rarity champions along with the "real" champ and take them to full health by using L1 or L2 potions.

GroundedWisdom

Not a bad idea.

St3bidy_19

Yes u can… I did with my 6* and 7* Serpent

St3bidy_19

You know, that is an awesome idea, you have helped a lot with the remaining missions

SirGamesBond

Healing 1* it is.

And its gonna change. As people hate 3 champ swaps. Rip you guys lol

Graves_3

Or they may make it 7 star only to spite us

ThePowerCosmic

Why did they change it?!?! I hate this month 🤬🤬🤬

BloodyRose

Do people not realize that this format is another test? You can probably expect another change in August based on feedback at the master thread...
