Pie vs. Cake area takeovers

Which battle? The boss battle or the area battle? The boss battle ended so quickly for me (but doesn't result in anything that's worth mentioning), while the area battle took the entire time limit for me.

And I only lagged getting into the waiting area for the area battle. My connection was fine afterwards.

i was referring to the boss battles, but i forgot those aren't the ones that give pie/cake area takeovers. in which case, yes eos, they are a waste of time when you could just train instead of going there and wasting 5min inside.
