@Darkphx37 it's not you personally, it's this whole thread. and "stop whining" is hardly toxic.

Elemental teams are supposed to be, oh... element based... so yeah, they don't expect you to use off-element cards. They expect you to collect cards of each element to make powerful teams. People could get by previously in Elemental hall (designed around GURs and Lower), and Towers (designed around HUR and lower, and only recently GLR with Extreme Towers, but even this is arguably not wholly true, you can get buy in extreme with only 1 GLR on each team) because they could build teams with cards that surpassed the designed specs.

This new event is build around actually having Elemental Teams, and not only that, but higher rarity elemental teams. Everyone complaining "this is too hard", or "the jump between difficulty x and difficulty y is too extreme" are somehow expecting something that just isn't realistic. That being, that their off-element, and lower rarity cards will be able to cut it.

Personally, I think it's quite nice that Advanced is doable with GLR and lower. I was expecting to need a mix of X and G level cards to do it, while Extreme you would need mostly X level cards. To me, advanced is easier than I was expecting.

There is no reason to think, that when "power creep" comes up in a game that your old cards or strategies will work.

When I first started in Advanced, I went very slow and it required all 3 of my initial Tower based teams to make it through and hardly ever getting the "survival bonus". This would take me like 15 minutes for a single BP.

But I figured out the pattern, moved my teams around, and can now do it with just 2 teams in under 5 minutes a BP.

Sure as a long time player I have advantages of large collections that newer players just don't have, but that's part of what everyone who has been defending this event has been saying... Keep playing, collect cards, and you'll be able to do it as well.
