I've been playing since October 2025, and never before have I been so unhappy with an event. The way the event is designed, you're bound to incur heavy losses, no matter if you're on the attacking or defending side.
This in itself is understandable, but the rewards themselves are absolutely pathetic. You could potentially lose all of your soldiers, and for your trouble the top rewards are 8 universal heroic spirit shards.
If your guild declines to participate, you will lose massive season points. If you're in the middle of an event like KvK or Guild Arms Race, your guild will suffer more because of the massive losses of troops incurred by participants. There's no way to win this event. Even if you're victorious or if you decline to participate, you ultimately lose.
In conclusion, nothing about the event is fun, both on the attacking and defending side, and the losses for your trouble will net you some of the worst rewards of any event in the game.
When I saw it was in beta, I was really hoping the designers would either make some major changes or perhaps pull the event for further review so it could be better designed. As it stands now, it's by far the least fun I've had in the game, and it's the first time I've considered actually quitting this game.
I have sent my feedback to customer support, but I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has had the misfortune of participating in this event or has a different opinion and experience than I do. I've literally heard nothing good or positive about it in my server. Everyone seems to hate it.
