In view of the great success of adversaries recently introduced in the game, I propose to make brilliant events with adversaries in brilliant version, it would also be in the form of a chain to be completed to gain a brilliant fragment at the end and 3 brilliant xp.

No. Absolutely not. lol
Oh god please. No.
no more reused graphics for Brilliant events.
just please no
What "great success"? Also: No!
Remember the Darkness Rising Brilliant Event, with brilliant "oddities" that had 200-300 health. 'Day 1' players had no hope of completing it, which they need to do in order to get RSBs to advance their profession. Maybe as a bonus event task it would be an intersting challenge, but I hope the devs have learned to keep the main parts of brilliant events doable by new players if they ever want to get new players.
well in brilliant version, brilliant adversaries can have 200-300 hp. I'm not saying they'll have 2000 hp like the originals.
The system would be a good idea in my opinion.
I would definitely fall on the side of brilliant adversaries being a bad idea.
Brilliant events are the “everyone can complete them, though it may take some more time and/or resources than others” events, and because they are absolutely the only way to get Restricted Section Books, they have to be accessible to new players as well as older ones. And adversaries are, at the moment, some of the more advanced content we have, and I don’t know that there’s a good way to reconcile the two.
I downloaded this game, unbeknownst to me, about 36 hours into a brilliant event, so that was part of my learning how Wizards Unite works. With no strategy, etc, I got 3/4 task lists done, which probably wasn’t too bad, and meant that I got 10 of the 15 RSBs on offer out of it. It was a little bit frustrating because I got dropped into the middle of a story, but it was only so frustrating to play because I was capable of all the tasks (and “the story so far” being inaccessible within the game is a different problem).
If, say, Fluffy, who has 300 hp, or the horned serpent, with 250, was one of the Brilliant Tasks, I would not have been capable of accomplishing those tasks in my first brilliant event. Period. Fluffy beat me the couple of times I saw him in the first week or so I played the game, because until you do a few profession lessons you just don’t have either the power or the stamina without really good RNG, if then. I wasn’t there for the Darkness Rising Brilliant event, but I was a new player recently enough that I can say I would have been pretty discouraged if a resource I needed to advance in the game was literally impossible to get unless I was already farther along. 200-300 hp is most likely too many for someone on their first brilliant event, and if you want to keep new players around, the event-only resources have to be within reach for very low level players.
if the brilliant advers have less power/stamina etc than the normal ones then what do you/we gain by having them in the 1st place? Why would I want to have to fight (for example) the basilisk wrapped in a purple aura? It adds absolutely nothing to my gameplay to have reused graphics inside a purple aura. I want actual new content and mechanics that dont already exist in game re-worked to appear new. I dont need or want another brilliant poacher event, heck i dont even want the brilliant events in the first place, cancel them entirely and give the rsbs some other way....
