"I could see if there was a great top gg, but everyone spent the whole event saying how terrible it was and this happens almost every time because it's a reducer, which are extremely useful by the way."

I don't think it was the reducer status that made the tower horrible. It was the combination of the increased HP requirement and Napoleon being a reducer (which, unless you're going against WGs/GGs, is always worse than an increaser of the same magnitude) that made the tower so horrible. And Napoleon was a common reducer, too... Excluding art (opinions vary on that), Emperor Napoleon was worse or equal in every single way compared to Nataraja--attack, defense, total stats, skill, spirit. And Nataraja was so much easier to get.

And it's not like Nataraja was an outlier like Odairi was. Nataraja does have the highest total stats of all 5* GGs, yes, but not by much, and Napoleon's decrease in stats (the raw attack/defense are really close to Satellite Cannon's, btw) really can't explain the immense difficulty of reaching 200F in the Old Inn. (low HP = no-life + 50 candies; high HP = careful HP usage + maybe 30-40 candies if you can make up the 500-1000 HP somehow, like saving HP to use it right when the event starts and/or relying on leveling up to fill your high HP bar)
