I'll try to give feedback/constructive criticism to all aspects, so I'll separate them to hopefully keep this readable.

Lords

Event
-
Rewards compared to 2022
-
Less useless (for current character) rewards
-
Reward distribution

Lords:
One of the Lords (Iblis Leanes) had a lot more HP than the others (1 billion hp compared to 125 million of Drakon or 250 million of the Ripper). This should not happen. It also has the annoying AoE skill of its Iblis Dungeon Boss counterpart, which did around 12k damage to my lvl140 chars (likely to one hit kill characters without points in STA or HP Pets).
All special Skills of Lord equivalents of Dungeon Bosses should have their damage reduced (by a lot), as they make it very frustrating to participate for casual players who don't know the mechanics. -
Event length:
The 2023 Lord Event was 5 days long, this one will keep spawning 4 bosses per day for 14 days total. While it is good for casual players who happen to play during one of those days, or players who are busy with other things, it is a bit long for everyone who is a daily player of this game.
More rewards per Lord, with a shorter event duration (5-7 days maximum) would be better. -
Event Rewards in comparison to 2022:
Last year every player got a guaranteed Halloween balloon box, these are now a 2% chance drop in the lowest category, which seems to be guaranteed for everyone. So on average for 14 * 4 = 56 Lords every player will get 1 Ballon Box during the Event, if they are present during every Lord that spawns, instead of 20 in 2022. But luckily you can now buy them in the cash shop.
A similar criticism applies to the Skin and Costume Boxes, these were unbound during the 2022 Event, and could be sold/bought. Why are they soulbound now? They are also in the cash shop (skin boxes), so why not have the drops be unbound and only have the cash shop version to prevent price gouging of the drop version? It is really frustrating to drop a skin box on the wrong character.
The Devil Hairband (M/F) is supposed to be a 79% chance drop compared to 3% Skin Box and 12% of the Costume Box. Personally I have dropped 1 Skin Box, 2 Costume Boxes and 0 Hairbands, so the percentages don't seem to be accurate. In 2022 every player got a guaranteed Pumpkin Head from every Lord.
Right now you can't even get a Pumpkin Head, which is sad for all newer players and players who wanted them for their FWC characters (in case those were on a newer account). It would be better to drop a Box (as a guaranteed drop) where players can choose between the new (Devil Hairband) and the old (Pumpkin Head) like it was done for the Yukata and Sailor Uniform in the Login Rewards. -
Less useless rewards:
Why aren't there more reward boxes, where you can pick your own reward? Dropping 10 different cotton candys, randomized, when 8 of those are (almost) useless to the class feels like a mockery, not a reward. This would be solved by a box which contains all variants of candy where the player can choose one (excluding rainbow, but those could be a seperate reward).
The same applies to the second tier of rewards/power ups, where at least vital drink and ref hold should be in a box (it already exists). A similar box (pick one or the other) could be made for Activition and Power Scroll and (Def-)Upcuts. -
Reward distribution:
While at least every player gets something, high damage right now does not seem to be rewarded.
There should be a clear difference in drops for someone watching and someone participating for a minimum amount of time and/or damage. If this is just done by quantity and not quality it is a bit frustrating, so it should be both. I don't want any less rewards for anyone just watching, or doing a small amount for a minute, but more rewards for the players active during (almost) the whole fight. Right now I don't see a big (or any) difference in drops between characters I actively play and characters that are inactive on board.
