These are fights you do for a talking fox friend of Khloe(or is it a stuffed animal?) in order to play a new mini-game. You know, Khloe from Wondrous Tails. The little orphan Mi'kitten who wants you to tell her stories about your past victories(as in, re-run old content). Nothing at all about that description reads to me as "bleeding edge content requiring the very best gear to participate". With that in mind, a low sync makes perfect sense.
