I really wish they would stop being so lazy and revamp these events, especially the Easy and Normal ones. Spending 150 world energy to grind through 24 identical stages just to get a (now worthless) epic hero token and a single 3* ascension material is literally the opposite of fun.
What is the point? Who are these actually aimed at? Its meant to be a big Christmas event, why cant they design something that is remotely interesting/rewarding?
At absoluite minimum they could make the backpack+recruits rewards for each stage as good as farming 8-7 so you aren’t losing out by taking part. And if the Easy/Normal difficulty are meant to be aimed at newer players then they could give out 1 of each 3* material for completing the Normal one, and maybe 3-4 EHTs for completing Easy. The Hard rewards are fine I guess.
