Introduction battles.

I think the introduction fights need to be redone to better showcase the actual character.  Shang Chi vs. Shang Chi means you're both fighting over the same colors.  And I think the Odin intro threw him into 1 on 1 fights that didn't show off his tankiness.

These battles don't have to be HARD, for the what, 25 shards we get from them?  Much better to make fights where these characters can really shine and make people excited for/want them.  Then people will be more likely to buy pts and spend $$ and keep the game going?

There are only three possible reasons why someone will "spend" on new 5* character HP store:

1) they are meta
2) they love the character
3) they are feeling lucky

Regardless of whether Introduction... exists or not, they will spend.

What you are looking for is Shield Training for new 5* characters. Introduction... was never designed to showcase a character's in game abilities. It was designed to tell the stories of their origins.

If you have played the original Shield Training before, you can guess what it's probably going to be like: 

1) Instead of 2*, 3* and 4* nodes, essential nodes  will be made up of 3 5* essentials, consisting of two classics and one latest, where you are required to have 10 covers of each 5* at a certain level. 

2) The last column node, requires you to have two specific champed 5*, one latest and one classics.

They can keep the original shield training first node for players to play.

The Introduction battles have never been meant to show off the character mechanically. They have always been a simple vessel for some story, to help out the people who see a new release and go "who the hell is that?" It's also one more way to advertise to the casual players that a new release is happening in the first place.

While I get where you're coming from, these were designed this way from the very beginning, and I don't see that changing.

Well I'm hoping whoever designs those missions will stumble by the forum and consider changing it then lol.  

Side note, CP/LL prices make no sense in this game.  They seem much worse than every other gacha I've seen.
