Just noticed the new event- got to hard level 2, before running out of energy. my girls (60 Billy, 49 layla, 56 layla, and whatever else I brink along (lately 40 Litza) are probably going to stall out around hard 5-8 (my level 30-40 leveling team crashed and burned on the easy boss at level 12)

Event crafting had a cheap item- "Promethues" (a mech, from the storyline)- so I tried it-(once)- I now have 10/25 level 0 Prometheus.....
Afterwards, I actually saw the popup that listed it as a guardian. So, did I just commit to crafting it 2 more times, so I'll actually have SOMETHING to show for it? And can I get more shards in random arena drawings, or is this going to be it- he stays at whatever level I craft him to?
