Dang. That is one Iâm not going to be able to finish. Iâve never completed Legendary tier in a single Challenge Event.

Ba-dam-tusss! So people had no need to complain about titans. They now can complain about challenge events!

Wow, thatâs bad. And over 3k points too. So everyone who canât finish legendary is fu**ed (has no chance at 4* mats) even if he finishes 100% of the rest. Thatâs so stupid.
Yeah, I donât think any of the others require 100% completion rate to finish the mission.
Tournaments - survive 3 out of 5 days in them all to complete
Titans - defeat 3 in 4
Raids - doable with 3 wins per day
War - (probable 4 tiers by points) 6 flags in 10 of 14 wars tentative
Summons - use all your silver/ETT should be ok?
Challenge Event - complete 6 of 6 levels available including legendary
And NO leeway in it if you canât with 3150 points for 3rd tier.

Iâd be lying if Iâd say Iâm happy with that third tier as up to now I was never able to complete the legendary level in the challenge events. But Iâll try my best and if thatâs not good enough this time then perhaps next time as Iâm constantly working on my hero roster. And, after all, it must be called Path of VALOR for a reason. So, now we know, why

I believe placing a not that good defense team for tournament might help.
The game randomly chooses the player that attack you or the player you attack but from certain group category based on your level.
If you get too many wins on both defense and attack right on the first day you get in the better players group and then chances to lose battles increase,
Since you have to win raids / attacks in order to continue without paying gems the only possibility I see is to lower your defense team a bit and loose some defences.
It will not give you point for defence but might be able to bring you few extra attacks.
This means more battles and therefore more point for the POV challenge.
It doesnât. They fixed this ages ago.
Close but not quite. It matches enemies based intially on your ROSTER. Then after that it moves you up/down depending on performance⌠Win a battle, get a slightly harder enemy. Lose one and you get a slightly easier one.

Yes, it is only valid for the current tournament.
However, you can wait to the last day to see how much you have completed and then decide whether to buy it or not.
Even if you buy it on the last day it will unlock all previously achieved Valor Pass Reward Levels.
The slightly still counts as it could be the difference between a win and a loss.
Every extra battle will bring you closer to the completion of the tournament challenge.
Anyway the tournament has been adjusted to try to draw gems from you.
In the beginning I believe it was 4 attacks per day.
I believe, now it is 5 attacks per day but with the same number of allowed losses.
If they give you 4 allowed losses the tournament should end on the 5th loss not on the 4th as it is now which is a bit unfair or you should be allowed to clear one loss for lets say a winning streak of 5 or 10 battles.
Was always 5 attacks per day. Only change was to make it 5 battle days.
And that slightly is in reference to your attacking⌠Your defence team means nothing except regarding the end-of-day bonus points⌠Doesnât affect who you get matched with in offence at all.

They did not fix anything. Using algorithm does not make it better even if it is a complicated one.
Letting some algorithm to consider your roster is even more unfair as there is no valid and written in stone hero ranking system.
You can see the mess this makes in the matchmaking of the alliance wars sometimes (I should say most of the time). OK, alliance wars is something that has to be set up prior to the beginning of the event so not much choice.
Tournament should be purely based on your performance and the power of your attack and defense teams. Every time you try an attack it should match against your current tournament level and the attack team you chose the battle before or in the beginning should correspond to your defense team strength.
I do not remember the details, I remember that it changed to more possible attacks and same number of allowed losses which generally is designed to screw your performance and hopefully make you pay.
I believe the available points are different based on the opponent strength so you are already punished for battling weaker opponents.
@Guvnor is rightâŚ
Placing a weaker defense wonât grant you easier opponentsâŚ
But feel free to try and put some 3* hero an a 5* tournament if you belive its notâŚ
Just donât give bad information to our fellow forum playersâŚ

First off, wayyyy off topic for this thread with most of what youâre now talking about.
How is it unfairâŚ? It matches you with opponents who are of the same strength as you are⌠If it was only based on defence set then people would (and did) gain the system⌠By using the available heroes that players have as a baseline it removes the ability to hack they system by purposely throwing your defence with weak â â â unlevelled heroesâŚ
Imagine it this way⌠Someone with 30 maxed 5* heroes in a 5* tournament sets a defence team of 3* heroes⌠Who should they face? Opponents with 5* defence teams or ones with 3* heroes? 
No actually I donât see this⌠I see a lot of complaints about it and in alliances where there are very few members it can be a problem⌠HOWEVER, the alliance system is designed to cater to later groups of players⌠So no, I donât see this at all⌠Matchmaking for wars for alliances which are at 25+ players is usually pretty good⌠In v. Small alliances (i.e. 5-10 war participants) there are some issues relating to facing enemies who âwar shuffleâ (i.e. reset their alliance score every war chest) but this doesnât occur in the fuller alliancesâŚ
I just explained how it literally does this⌠It only uses your roster to rank you for the first attack⌠As I already saidâŚ
Uhhh sure⌠Another âZynga are an evil greedy corporationâ believer huhâŚ
Yes⌠How does this relate to any of discussion?
