I know for a fact that the duo that drops the Legion Bracer can be done at level 20 if you possess a Doom Knight V1 because I did so at said level on an alt. That being said, not everyone possesses a Doom Knight V1 (only people who became Doom Knight before a certain date, I forget the date, I have been one since they first introduced it so I have it), and even if they did, very few challenges in the inn permit them because they are so powerful, they are easily the most powerful class in the game and I would admit too overpowered for the Inn because they make it unbalanced due to its Life Carve skill that removes 15% of the boss's max HP, heals the player, and then gives the player an additional attack. Doom Knight V2's are permitted for MOST fights (there is / are 1 or 2 they are not), but not V1's, I'd say at least 75% if not closer to 85% or 90% of the fights they are banned now. ...what? I mean, v1 owns an earlier challenge that doesn't ban v1. Ok, sure. That's not relevant to the conversation at all - the question Status asked was why some recent Inn Challenges like Ice and Dragons, Mage and Serpent, etc have low level rewards for the duo/quad, when others such as Conquest and Faith and Teacher and Student have only 50+ merge rewards. I think the correct explanation is the one that TFS gave. Earlier inn fights were easier and more realistically doable at lower levels. But after bosses started vomiting damage and gained high MPM/BPD. Take Escherion, for example, who one shots you on t1 at lower levels, and kills you on t2 if you try to shield, while having 40 MPM and 40 BPD, which basically walls off lower leveled characters (and their dragons) from hitting him entirely. Legion Duo is also from before the stat creep that TFS was talking about. I've beaten it at level 20 with Riftwalker and at level 1 by using fighting dragon. Neither member of the duo does a ton of damage (thus requiring res stack), nor do they have 40+ base mpm/bpd like a lot of recent bosses (thus requiring high bonus).
