I honestly didn't run the event maps a lot, only unlocked Map 2, beat it and never looked back. The items that were given and the swords were things I already had and not great incentives for me to spend time playing as I was trying to get other swords.

I think this is a good way for DMM and Nitro+ to gauge their difficulty settings because they honestly seem pretty bad at it, needing 2 emergency maintenances to make it even feasible (let's not remember the other questionable difficulty decisions they've made as well). The dynamic is different and interesting, in that you have to do a gamble: Staying in low maps with lower outcomes but easier difficulty or taking a risk in higher levels with better output if you make it. Even in the middle of a run, there was a gamble of losing everything in the next turn. That said, it made the game in my opinion even more of RNG so possible repeated runs might be boring too.

My biggest issue and the crux of the event was the rather silly rule of Unbeatable 2nd draw repeat enemy. As some have mentioned, higher maps had more of them, so it was impossible to see the 3rd or 4th card if you were going to be obliterated in the second. It's rather extreme and I would have personally designed it that in repeated draws of the same enemy card, there's a progressive increase of difficulty as opposed to OHKO on your end. My first two runs ended in map 1, getting OHKO'd by Tantos. I'd be more interested if the second increased the level, and the third repeat would be stronger.

In fact, the complete elimination of the second cards in the second, I believe, emergency maintenance made the maps more boring in a way and more of "Let's see what kind of silly card I draw next" and get everyone bombed.

I do hope that if they are going to have tiers in the future implementation of this kind of stage, they consider adding different swords because I still don't think Hirano is THAT rare, trying ALL 50 can net him in some tries as opposed to other swords and I'm honestly praying you could get Kogi by massive bead-grinding.

In my personal opinion, this event was amusing for 1 and 2 days but the novelty sort of wore off fast, especially with nothing to spark my interest in actually using my free passes.
