Let the games begin! Earn Charlotte Soul Fragments and other Rare Rewards in the Gauntlet.

Our first Gauntlet season starts now and will run until December 23rd, 4pm PT. Battle through 11 Grades of Gauntlet, each presenting unique challenges and rewards to earn a place on our Ranked Leaderboard. The Ranked Rewards for Season 1 will feature Charlotte, in addition to other rewards.

You will have 10 weeks (until the end of Season 1) to earn enough Charlotte Fragments from the Gauntlet to summon her, after that she will be much more difficult to obtain, as she won’t be featured in any other soul.

Charlotte is a hero-class ally with extremely potent skills. Her basic attacks are capable of stealing beneficial effects and dealing critical damage! Charlotte is also able to revive allies with full health and invincibility while inflicting furious burns to all enemies with her power skill, and is able to grant her team Perfect Health and Immunity to Silver Effects with her passive ability!

Players who make it to Grade A and above will also be awarded Final Frontier Eddie Fragments!

Final Frontier Eddie Fragments can be collected over several Gauntlet seasons. Once you have 1,000 Fragments, you will earn a Guaranteed Final Frontier Eddie.

Final Frontier Eddie is a tanky, all enemy physical damager that specializes in neutralizing his opponents and dealing big damage when buffed with Increased Max HP effects. He can remove all Damage Type Invulnerability Effects, Immunity, and Invincibility from opponents while inflicting Stun, Heal Block, and Additional damage based on every golden effect on the enemy and silver effect on each ally with his basic attacks. His power skills allow him to Remove all beneficial effects, Inflict Perfect Sleep and Doom, grant random Defensive Effects to his allies while healing them. Finally, his Fury transforms all beneficial effects into a random negative effect.

Final Frontier Eddie is a 5★ Sentinel that is only available by collecting Fragments in the Gauntlet. Check out more on Final Frontier Eddie in his Character Discussions forum post (https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/showthread.php?10875-Final-Frontier-Eddie-(Sentinel-Type)).

So, to clarify,

Charlotte=One season
Final Frontier Eddie=Multiple Seasons or a permanent reward addition?

Also, how many fragments does it take to get Charlotte anyways?

Correct. Charlotte takes 500 fragments. Final Frontier Eddie takes 1000.

So...

500 fragments
10 weeks equals 5 rounds, which means 100 fragments per round minimum.
Thus, you must complete Champion I or better every week to get Charlotte.

No longer in beta but still buggy. For the 2nd time in two days, I got a random game shut down when entering the battle. Counted as a loss both times. iPhone 8 running iOS 12. No other apps open at the time.

I don't know what I'm supposed to see... Maybe you should explain in thorough, personal, detail. What I see is an alternative for those who don't feel like playing the arena all the time. For the entire length of the beta I've finished either S or AAA and I've spent zero dollars and zero cents to get there. Besides, the rewards are better anyways. (Oh boy, I can't wait to get another 160 ironite and 30 Eternity fragments in arena)

You can play gauntlet and still have more than 100 arena battles, dont see were it is a money drain. To compete in the top 50 in the arena in costs extra SoW. To stay competitive in the arena you also need to earn the new OP toons or talis. You have to be very lucky pulling toons or spend money earning them.

The IC and rewards are more than fair for the average player compared to the arena. The gauntlet makes you play teams that would only get you losses in the arena. It's a chance to use the sharded toons that are sitting on the bench.

I think we really need a better system of changing talismans.

There are too many sets of talismans we have to change between different toons for gaunlet.

Lmao. I like the gauntlet season 1 but to me they re giving even too much time to get Charlotte frags.

I like gauntlet. It's a bit like chess. You need to plan your strategy, your chars combinations, talismans and the order and moves in the battle. And you will find many new ways to use chars you never used before. It's not fun to grind the Arena battles anymore. All the top teams are using the same build with some minor variations. And most such battles outcomes are decided by coin toss.

well, i don't see any money drain here... I have 500+ SoW from the sacrifice event.
I don't see the pay-to-win fact here either. I know some people throw everything in the sacrifice and keep as less as possible.
I have - in fact - see one of my troopers back then, when the sacrifice event for the crusader eddie was - he had a complete roster of maybe 10 characters - that was 2 eddies incl. the crusader and a few toons, judging by his talismans, he may have played a while, but was so "desprerate" to sacrifice nearly everything to get the crusader eddie. Well i did it sometimes, too - not that extreme maybe - i keep my 4-5 teams (PVP, PVE, 3 Dragons each and LOL).
Thanks to the Sacrifice event this time, i kept every good eddie and toon, looking forward to the gauntlet.

Tried on one device and was instant B without problems, so AA should be archievable here. (and if this "much" players keep playing, it's instant S, which grants enough charlotte frags for the start.)
I have enough Magus and warrior eddies. I can keep up with sentinels, too. I'm only short on Assasins/Gunner-Eddies and toons, but i guess the next gauntlet will hopefully either keep being warrior magus or have at least one of the 3 base-classes (W/S/M) in.

Well, changing talismans is OK for me, you can get from the gauntlet screen directly to my team.
I once started an excel sheet with the talismans as drop-down-menu to choose from, but i figured out it's easier to just write down a quick note which set you took from which character.

Don't really see the 'drain'. Ok if you want to rank #1 then speed (and refills are crucial). Each of the last 5 rounds I've got to AAA (with a slight bump getting past C for some reason). This feels like a good balance - go nuts and get her now, or slow burn and get her in ten weeks - something for most of the longer term players.

scott-5496
10-15-2018, 09:55 AM
What is not fully clear to me is when you would get Charlotte - as soon as you get the frags or at the end of the season as it looks like it is the end of the season from what I have read in the post? So she is an early xmas present to those who get the frags for her by the 23rd?

10-15-2018, 10:32 AM
Ok, once again, Gauntlet bugged... I've lost four battles ( level SS, #4) because , when my chars have inmunity or invencibility, they get shocked or damaged. WTF!!??... devs, i want my SoW back and my chars available to fight again.

I assume they will be delivered as all the other stage rewards in the Gauntlet, so after the 2-week season is over!

Question about Charlotte fragment awards and level rewards in general: if we complete several grades do we get the rewards and fragments for each level reached, or only the rewards for the highest level? For example, I've reached level A. It has some fragments. If I reach AA, it also has some fragments. Do I get both?

It's only 5 gauntlet cycles in those 10 weeks. You must reach AAA level each time to earn enough frags for Charlotte.

Good observation! Plus you need to be within the top 2500 to get 100 frags in AAA. If you are below top 2500 once you need to reach Grade S once to compensate.

See? This is the problem.

When we have lots of toons, we need to make a note, even make a excel to help us to arrange talismans.

A good game base on a good design won't push us to do those things.

LotB evolves too big now, but its base design is too old.

Especially the system of talismans.

I still say these characters are nice, but I don't feel they are needed. I am desiring new levels to play. I'm tired if the same battles and the same worlds. I'd love to play manually something other than gauntlet. The trooper grind could be much more enjoyable if there were new worlds to play. I'm working to get the Frontier Eddie, but not do much Charlotte. I feel I have too many toons I don't play as of now anyway. Please get us some new worlds.

I for one just don't have enough characters to finish the level, just another waste of time waiting for the next shit show to arrive

Maybe you should get more Warrior's and Magus's.

Couldn't help but check out your roster. Tf, are you allergic to Warrior Eddie's or something?

Pretty nice roster in general though. You have plenty of Magus to get you by till you hit AAA

Game over for me.
I stuck at AA and need to win the 5 battles only with warriors. How to reach AAA when you got not enough warriors?

This event is again only for a very little range of players...


I'm done with these events and I only do the daily quests. Don't need overpowered PVP toons, because I will never reach the high ranks, because I don't play 24/7.

Blade
10-17-2018, 09:35 AM
URock, I took a look at your roster and come on it is not that bad! You have 7 warrior Eddies, 4 of them sharded. Then you have 10 warrior allies at lvl 100, some more 5* but not lvl 100 and some 4* lvl 80. Are you short in evolve material and Skill shards? If not bring some 4* to 5* and maybe around level 70 and shard the really good ones. I have not played AA this season (we have soo much time for it), but usually it is fine if you go with 1 unsharded and 3 sharded characters. Ensure that they can survive if you lose the coin toss and take care for specific passives and skill effects of the opponents. You can do it! :)

URock
10-17-2018, 09:40 AM
The first round is over for me. We need 5 times AAA to get Charlotte and now I can only reach 4 times AAA. That's not enough to get the needed fragments, so game over for me.

I think warrior Eddie hates me :mad:
Most of my Magus are unsharded and my toons need levelling, working progress, My biggest problem with gauntlet is as said previously lower rank limiting units WHY??? and the piss take coin toss, which I've lost on all battles on Rank C which for some unknown reason leaves most of my toons stunned which is confusing as I'm facing off against Pharaoh,Alliance General, CotD Warrior and Krampus.
I might try again later in the fortnight but just not feeling it right now.

Thanks for the comment tho :-)

Can someone explain to me what I've missed please, I completed 10 x levels of SSS undefeated only to be put back at the beginning of SSS again. I have a few toons still to go but after SS and then The SSS round and still not resetting my characters this is indeed a difficult challenge. How many times do you need to defeat the x 10 SSS challenge?

Most of the characters I have left are Assasin... I wonder is it better to have a go and fail or stop whilst my percentage is somewhat still reasonable?

I only had 4 warrior eddies so i cashed in 300 frontier points for a trooper eddie, levelled him up & got thru it. I'm now struggling on level S tho

Once I easily reached the ss level, then they changed the difficulty and now can't pass AAA anymore, this is annoying :/

Can't remember if this is cause once there wasn't the limitation to just one class to use in AAA, but it is surely boring and pretty hard to make it through, in spite i have many chars one class is too weak against teams which have primordials and such.

Hi there! If you tap on "REWARDS", upper left you will see all "milestone" rewards. There you can see when the heroics will be a reward for clearing battles. This refers to the horizontal bar over the battles in each grade.

True, it's a bit strange that it does not rotate as much as before. But I am more concerned about the fact that we also might have seen all Talis sets that will be available from Gauntlet, as we have Ghost now again after Necropolis. That's disappointing, as there is such a huge lack of Talisman availability.

I get stuck in AA because the lack of "dificulty pattern" in the gauntlet. I fight against the powerfull toons with an really intelligent AI, how can i defeat The alchemist (with Fate talis that gave him Ascencion obiously), Hallowed with strike, Icarus and Sekmeth with my left toons?. In the last fight. After fighting against at least one powerslave god in each fight, and some strange things like and MAGUS CORRUPT RESCUE WITH VALOR TALIS. I dont see the beta in the gauntlet, but i manage to see thing like that, and you dare to make an event Gauntlet-Based??.

I think the same at first, but think about it. You fight all magus that cant steal your yellow buffs, so you use characters that cant get those. Out of anywhere you fight a magus with valor so your strategy gets ruined by something really really really unexpected. I can expect oracle, ghost, future, Destiny, or onclusive Heal, Counter, Angel. But never and 6-red set on a 3-blue-slot magus

Rain88
11-03-2018, 08:56 PM
Overall the changes (decreasing SOW cost, increasing coins, adding worthy rewards and balancing the teams) until last fortnight was really good. This round it's back to where it was before with the balancing. Apparently you're supposed to get passed Sekhmet (counter+thorn), Hallowed Eddie (thief I'm guessing), Osiris (echo) and ofc magus litith (with destiny and immunity ofc) using only warrior toons.

11-03-2018, 11:09 PM
This round was more difficult. At the same place last event I was ranked below 250, currently about 60. That team was tough, I know I used death dog, his power move really helped with the permadeath, cleanse and immunity. I put angel talis to keep from being stunned.

All I had left was those three star levelled up characters, I went through the pain of changing talisman too but have been killed at six to eight times still might try one more time with the new look Samurai Ed but what to put with him?
Still sitting around 16 th spot but that will most likely sink to 30th by the end of the week... this round is definitely harder than last .....

Already lost 3 of my strongest teams so i probably won’t make it past SS at all...

Well I was stuck at AA last week. And this week I'm at AAA but I don't think I will go further because I have 6 warriors Eddie only and 2 of them are Iron Eddie and run to the hills eddie (others: clansman, samourai, phantom and trooper), not fully sharded like my warriors other caracters. I don't even know if I'm gonna try to spend 5 SoW/fight knowing that I won't probably pass this stage.

I’ll be lucky to make it mid SS this round.

Fucking Liliths with Destiny Talismans. Does she have to have Destiny Talismans every time Devs?Cannot inflict Perfect Corruption on here to stop her getting Invisibility every damn turn. Can’t keep any damn Yellow Buffs as The Alchemist removed them without fail, whilst also filling thier fury every round.

As I couldn’t inflict Perfect Corruption on her I thought I’d just do the other trick. Obliterate her with Doomsday Ed’s Fury. But like usual, I lost the toss, Alchemist removed his Immortality and he’s dead before I even get a go.

This game is just not fun when the randomness just goes against you everytime.

Same here, there was just no getting past the first stage of SSS for me, since all the chars I would have selected for this were already burned in SS...
I might try again and swap around more talisman sets, but currently, after 5 tries, my options especially in the allies chanracters are nearly exhausted. I might have one or two more valid shots at this before I have to call it a day.
Very hard stage without some effective buff removers and/or passive disablers.
Also, this is hell if you lose the coin toss (in all five attempts at this stage, I started first on one occasion).
That being said, please don't water down the difficulty.
SSS is the last stage, I expect to fail at some point, otherwise, where's the fun?

Met a nice team today on S level. Sekmeth with Immunity and Echo, Sentinel Lilith With Titan and Nightmare, Assassin Lilith with Steel and ... Doomsday Eddie with Destiny and True Shield. Doomsday with Destiny Set was very dirty trick! Really!

How's that possible? Doomsday Eddie with Destiny? So the AI teams don't respect slot color requirements? I thought that shit got eliminated in earlier betas.

The AI teams definitely still sport talisman sets that are not allowed. I've seen Echo, Destiny and other 4-part sets on toons that did not have a single slot of the required color.
(played up to SSS-1 this time but played through all battles last time)
What I did not see anymore were Primordials or other 6-piece sets where they did not belong.

For those with Magus Lillith woahs. Sentinel Desert Marauder. Bypass Lillith block passive and kill the Alchemist or any other high priority target. You have one round before the Alchemist will cleanse but its better than trying to rely and perfect corruption chance to land.

After Desert sentinal warrior, gunner choppers power move Risky Ride disables passive, followed by prisoner and HE. there is one more white disables passive but it eludes me at the moment. What sucks is when you get three in a row and it uses your better players. If you lose you are kinda of in a bind.

I may wait until the nerf to go after SS.

To kaz, or leviathan; I was wondering if there will be another opportunity/event to earn Charlotte fragments before the last gauntlet event ends. (In addition to what can be earned by competing in gauntlet.)

I remember it being stated early on that FE was designed to be obtainable over several Gauntlet seasons. I guess we'll have a new target character for 500 fragments over the next 5 fortnights (maybe a magus?) alongside FE starting from the next Gauntlet.

I'm sitting at 535 (I think)... but I typically run to SS or SSS and stop - Just would rather not lose and keep ranking that way. I imagine after two more rounds, someone may have Frontier. So by 2019 probably.

Of course, this week seem I got a bad luck of the draw at AA believe it or not. Probably won't go past that now.

I hope to get Charlotte although, since I'm at 415 for her.
So keeping my finger crossed I don't run into any unpleasant opponents.

On the first page of this thread it says "Final Frontier Eddie Fragments can be collected over several Gauntlet seasons. Once you have 1,000 Fragments, you will earn a Guaranteed Final Frontier Eddie."

I'm at 480/1000, so still a ways to go.

There are no other events that will be featuring Charlotte frags at this point.

Whatever fragments towards Charlotte you have will still be valuable for earning her after her debut run in the Gauntlet, so you won't be losing any progress by earning more during the final Gauntlet rotation.

I totally forgot about the gauntlet reset this week, and was unable to get to AAA like other weeks just short on time...
I doubt I'll be able to get to SS to get enough frags to get her till next reset.

But like so many other toons I'm already missing in the last two months, it's just one more.

Entering gauntlet, game says "new information available need restart". lost the sow and the particular toons are locked which will make completing the current stage rather difficult that is to say impossible. ah well, didn't have enough charlotte fragments to get her anyways. other than the "rare" occurances of bugs gauntlet is actually quite entertaining

I made sad discovery, I have only 32 different Eddies and it's impossible to get into top 10. Then I looked last week top ten and makes me wonder, how is possible to have 82 battles like some people in the top 10 have? It's 34 battles to get round S. 42 to get round SS. 52 to get round SSS. 62 to get second round SSS. 82 to get 3rd round SSS. For me theoretical maximum is 42+32 74 battles. I'm missing 5 obtainable Eddies. Still it gives 79 possible battles. Coalgiver and Samurai Emperor should be banned from gauntlet, because it doesn't matter how good player you are or how hard you try - You just don't have any possibility to win!

You can't use duplicates from the beginning of round SS.

Well I have over the months saved up duplicate Eddies and I do use them in Gauntlet - I have not sharded many dupe Eds but I have used my duplicates when I can in the earlier rounds - I have done the same with several allies too. I have only got to top 50 and Grand Master II SSS once or maybe twice I think so cant remember what you can and cannot use but pretty sure a full roster and dupes will give you those sorts of numbers.

Dupes are not allowed after 42. battle. That is the point where every single different Eddie matters. I have used even unsharded Mummy Eddie in SSS round ( Don't laugh!! ). Right now you can't get into top 10 if you don't have all Eddies. Soon you can't even get into top 50 without full Eddies roster anymore.

12-12-2018, 12:48 PM
Scott I have so accumulated dupe Eddies much like your roster. One sharded and one not of each one almost. After AAA they are useless. Clearing AAA requires 5 Eddies and 15 allies of each class worthy of winning. Losing 1 or 2 of these five is not likely, but would force you to have 6 or 7 Eddies of each class as insurance. One of each Eddie maxed and sharded should suffice to get past any hurdle up to clearing AAA, so having dupe Eddies doesn't make sense. I have decided to retain one of each and build up the roster of allies instead of hoarding multiple 5star Eddies.

I am missing the Limited Edition Samurai and Coalgiver I think. It may be that I sac my dupe Eddies at the next event as to be honest I have used them but cant see me being to keen to spend the time getting into top 10 - I think I could do it or at least be close to it if I had the time and wanted to do it btu not sure - top 50 has been as I high as I got at reset though was in the top 10 a few times and dropped off - I was going for the level woth all the gold in it and stopping there most weeks as that meant I got the Charlotte and also the odd extra tally for incomplete sets.

Good observation Olev!
I've never been that far so I don't know.

@Esquatcho: in the highest tiers you normally cannot use duplicates and the used characters do not refresh!

Maybe this rule is gone if you complete SSS once? Some of the top players could let us know - thanks!

No, it is not gone. Last time i used up every single Eddie. Lost 2 battles because of app crashed out.

That is good to know edsel - I think I may follow suit on sacking my dupe Eddies - it makes no sense to keep them as up to AAA is easy enough to do. It may be that they are planning some changes to the format of the Gauntlet or there could be another level type in the future where dupes Eddies make sense...who kows! But for now maybe I will sack some of them.

I managed to finish in top 5 of the last Gauntlet reset. But getting higher is impossible with every single eddie. (I lost 2 due to bugged characters being 100% Immune to all damage and steal effects. But those 2 had not given me a better position i believe). I do find it sort of odd that having for example the limited time Samurai is required to go for the highest position. But after all new characters needs to be usefull for those who get them. So i surely do not hope they change it.
