[Master Discussion] šŸ§­ Path of Giants (PoG) -- General Information & Discussion

lots of raid challenges in todayā€™s Pov and POGā€¦ tried to be efficient and do the PoV rainbow challenge and the PoG 3 fighter challenge together, failed miserably lol (because I stupidly filled my team with 5 fightersā€¦ then I dropped two fighters, brought in Proteus and Francine, and managed it)



And Klaern finally has a useā€¦ for both the Slow special one and the mono Blue one lol

I tried to be efficient too, I only have 2x good fighter classes in blue though (Magni + Perseus costumes). But I decided to add Planchet too, and I actually won each match! I was genuinely shocked. I should have used Miki too for my slow hero, but I didnā€™t want to make my team even worse and at a disadvantage, so I did the slow hero one with my regular 3x Purple 2x Blue team (Ludwig as the slow hero) and fired him twice per match.

The rainbow team one I got obliterated the first try, but then won the second one (this was for POV).
I used
Ariel / LB2 Franz / Ludwig / c2 Li Xiu / c2 Marjana

The no legendary one I also won each match, using 3x Purple 2x Yellow
c2 Rigard / c2 Li Xiu / Proteus / cTiburtus / Waddles

Li Xiu and Waddles were my MVPs for these games
The Wizard challenge I didnā€™t pay attention to and got lucky a couple of times, where the team had 2x Wizard on their defence, so that was nice.

At least the Season 2 without loot tickets can be on easy, so that was a cakewalk.

Another double: POV no legendary and PoG all blue

The loot is really, really, really bad. Absolutely nothing useful.

Who could have guessed that. Mark me as shockedā€¦

I for one would be glad if they dropped it, considering how low the completion rate is :wink:

(and itā€™s just not fun at all!)

4th and final one. Both the paid and free loots were below par.

Since my fighters stink, I would like to thank whoever made their team one single Bane. Helped me greatly!

Will definitely not be buying againā€¦ complete waste of time for the worthless lootā€¦ i got 30 emblems, 1 raid bottle, 15 shards, and 1* trainer heroā€¦

A very loud amen to this!! I completed it twice - possibly three times - and then I asked myself what am I wasting my life for? :wink:

Even with skipping it for the majority of the event I will still end up with 4 extra bonus chests so good riddance I say.

yeah, I did the ā€œdo stage X with no specialsā€ once, and decided not to do it ever again.

will only do it if the stage is extremely easy to complete, like the PoV ones (I just do S1 5 lol)

So in going to get down to level 30ā€¦ Butā€¦ Iā€™m not going to buy it. It is stuff that will help your heroes get betterā€¦ Butā€¦ If i donā€™t have any heroes worth improvingā€¦ Seems like a damn waste.

if they stuck a Tome of Tactics and D Blade in the POG, then I would buy it each month, otherwise itā€™s not something I will be buying. Even if it was a simple case of a guaranteed Tactics/Blade in the mega chest at the end, I would do it, and itā€™s more of an incentive to do enough challenges to reach the end.

Almost seems like ā€œthe rich get richer, the poor get, at least comparatively, poorerā€?

cf. The Big Imbalance Update, which gave stat buffs to recent premium heroes for free

Iā€™ve been grappling with whether it makes any sense for me to buy PoG myself.

On the one hand, if Iā€™m going to buy any of this stuff, the PoG pass seems a relatively efficient way to do so, and Iā€™m realizing that in an increasingly 2LB world, my mostly already-older heroes are just falling further behind.

On the other handā€¦. I really donā€™t like 2LB, I donā€™t like how much more paywalled it is or has been compared to 1LB, I donā€™t want to reward 2LB with money (which a PoG purchase largely is), and Iā€™m not sure that dropping an extra $20/month is very attractive, especially when what would benefit my roster more is more new (and increasingly OP) heroes, rather than trying to slap bandaids on older heroes.

(And either way, Iā€™m starting to wonder how much effort I should be putting into PoG at all if Iā€™m not going to buy the paid ā€œrewardsā€ ā€” a lot of the tasks are honestly a slog.)

:man_shrugging:

Anyone know the best stage for season 5 purple monsters for the challenge?

Edit:
Season 5 - 5-10 gave me 13 then 15 on the second run

I got all 15 in 1 go at 5-10, so itā€™s possible

ditto, I only had to do one run of S5 5-10 to complete the challenge

Yes! Totally, definitely, whole heartedly agree. How in the world did they not give POG tomes/blades in their rewards?
This alone is enough for people to be invested in POG

Iā€™ve purchaised POG pass this month, but am pretty sure it is going to be the last time. Not because itā€™s noth worth it, but because completing every goddamn task is too much time consuming. I find the tasks not fun and enjoyable, they are ā€œhard grindingā€ in my opinion and perception of the game. Sorry SG, you will have to rethink this one if you want my 30$.
