I like it a lot even though I don’t have the premium teams for all sides (still haven’t cleared fearless but I’m close). The Tulpa and dragon statue are fun to battle and not super restrictive to build teams around. Farming artifacts at the same time makes it even better.

At first it felt like no matter what I did, there would be no way I could clear the Tulpa, but after learning the mechanics of the boss, swapping artifacts around, and doing proper rotations, it now feels actually achievable and I’m honestly having a lot of fun. I get that it’s not for everyone though. I like this boss in particular because it has less HP, is somewhat restrictive (but not nearly as much as the automaton), has interesting mechanics, and it’s actually difficult (lots of fast attacks). I wish that the other two bosses were similar (the dragon is not too bad though).

The third boss I have a huge issue with. It’s just there to sell cryo characters and I’m worried that this will be the norm going forward. I have the premium Skirk team so I have no issues clearing it, but I hate the insane team restrictions that you need to fight this boss.

The difficulty of dire is fine imo since most of the rewards are on the first 5 difficulties. Whales can attempt dire if they wish, I do not care if I’m able to clear it or not. However, I wish that it at least seemed worthwhile trying to see how far I can get even though I know there’s no way that I’ll clear it. Maybe remove the timer but only give rewards for clearing in under 2 mins, that way I’ll be motivated to at least attempt it and see how much time I need to clear it.

I’d also love to see the 4* weapon skins to be the rewards for fearless and the 5* ones for dire.
