I can see the potential of this mode. Aether raids is an enjoyable, challenging, and a creative mode where I can use my beloving team (well, except bonus units) to face different metas, not like Arena, the armored-units are always on your way. In this mode, I can't retry, which means I have to be careful to plan each step (kinda reminds me of permanent death). All being said, I enjoy this new mode, though I don't like a certain aspect of it. The one thing is the stamina, which can't be accumulated in each season. I'm the kind of person who prefers pushing the events to the weekend so that I can focus and enjoy them. But in this new mode, if I want to participate, I have to play every day in order to claim the match without stamina. I wish they will change this design into a mode without much restriction in time. All in all, I love this mode, hopefully, it's getting better and better after 3.0.
