Yeah, the cool thing about the Saga format is also its riskiest proposition; we want to experiment and do new stuff with each Saga iteration, but that also means there’s things we’ll need to be called on to improve.

To clarify, this final task involves simply participating in Minigames, killing people in the Pit Master’s Arena, and then also killing a bunch of people within your level range. Mind, it will still take some time to get to this point since there’ll be weekly level caps, but still.
