The Weekly Tiered Gauntlet

The Weekly Tiered Gauntlet:-
This event resets every Wednesday. It is a pure test of skill and roster depth, featuring static difficulties with no nodes and no branching paths.
Core Rules:
Zero Nodes: No buffs, no debuffs, and no global modifiers. Only raw stats and AI skill.
Straight Path: Every map is a single straight line with exactly 6 fights (5 defenders + 1 Boss).
Star-Lock: You can only enter each difficulty with the specific Star-tier assigned to it.
1. Easy Difficulty (2-Star Challenge)
Requirement: 2-Star Champions only.
The Map: 5 fights against basic 2-Star defenders + 1 Boss (e.g., Iron Man).
Weekly Rewards: 2&3-Star Hero Shards, Gold, and Basic ISO-8.
2. Medium Difficulty (3-Star Challenge)
Requirement: 3-Star Champions only.
The Map: 5 fights against 3-Star defenders + 1 Boss (e.g., Hulk).
Weekly Rewards: 4-Star Hero Shards, Tier 2 & 3 Basic Catalysts.
3. Hard Difficulty (4-Star Challenge)
Requirement: 4-Star Champions only.
The Map: 5 fights against Rank 4-Star defenders + 1 Tanky Boss (e.g., Juggernaut).
Weekly Rewards: 1,000 5-Star Hero Shards, Tier 4 Basic Catalyst & Tier 1 Alpha.
4. Expert Difficulty (5-Star Challenge)
Requirement: 5-Star Champions only.
The Map: 5 fights against high-stat 5-Star defenders + 1 Aggressive Boss (e.g., Spider-Man).
Weekly Rewards: 1,000 6-Star Hero Shards, 1x Tier 2 Alpha Catalyst.
Summary of the Experience
Since there are no nodes, the difficulty comes strictly from the defender's health pool and attack power. A player must master the basics—Parry, Dexterity, and Intercepting—to clear the Expert path without losing health, as there are no "cheat" nodes to help or hinder you.
I know it's not perfect and need some modification for sure but I am just talking about the Idea, Simple and Static for who can't play adaptive EQ at same time it has a simple design for kabam

The rewards for content like this would be 4* shards at best. If you want 0 challenge content, just play arenas. At least then you can get units there.

I mean, if you want this experience, you could just do RoL with some lower-rarity champs. It’d be effectively the same thing, just with literally no rewards instead of basically meaningless rewards.

It doesn't need to be 7* champions to be meaningful..

It doesn't have to be stressful fights to be fun

This content is for FTP players with short time & less effort (for fun) while the arena needs time and effort

The rewards for this weekly event are significantly worse than what you’d get from the Daily Quests in a single day, and the fun is, as mentioned, already replicated by RoL. Is getting 4* shards and ISO-8 for your efforts so integral to the fun that it needs to be its own separate quest?

What you are asking for OP already exists. It’s called the daily catalyst harvest. 5 difficulties, no nodes. Just pure comic defenders. Rewards are more meaningful than what you have suggested. If you want a challenge, you use low rarities for higher difficulty levels.

First I said it needs modification!!

Second it's one of the solutions to get the game fun again cause adaptive EQ is so hard for many, they just stopped playing the game cause of it so they better give us access for lower difficulties some how

If the idea it's not that great, it's fine..

I just hope they give us access for lower difficulties in EQ ASAP
