You can’t do that. If you lose a battle against a soldier, next you’ll face against another random soldier. Same rule applies if you lose against higher rank. In short: you won’t see enemy paragon if you lose one of your first 4 battles.

> Your first battle will be against a random Soldier. If you win, you progress to fight the Vanguard. If not, you fight a different random Soldier. The enemy rank battle order is Soldier \> Vanguard \> Herald \> Champion \> Paragon
