either 2 things need to happen #1 they need to be buffed so they do ALOT more Damage or #2 Platoons need to be Less Extreme For what you invest you get nothing back. pick one. think Reb...
The platoons are purely so people don't take their DR Malak teams in and sweep every mission every day. It also implies the expectation that you'll spend money to gear up your other characters.
Granted in Phase 4 of this event even G12 Meta teams are getting slaughtered just so you know that you'll need full G13 teams to win missions in phase 4. (which you'll have to spend money to build up to get quicker than next year.)
