GAUNTLET: A shout out for help!

[rags-6094]

Have you ever wished someone in the forum community could help you pass a difficult battle in gauntlet?

I have, over and over again... I might be able to help someone else too.

I just thought I’d create a thread where troopers can go to ask questions or share advice and tips for gauntlet, I hope it works!


So my question is regarding battle 2, SSS level. It’s called The Unmaker,
The team is Mystic Eddie, Daedalus, Wicker Owl Evolved, Lilith Nightmoon.
They got first turn.
Lilith Nightmoon obliterated 3/4 of my team on her first move and that was a beefed up team... how can you compete with that? What are people doing to survive her attacks? In arena I just avoid those teams with Lilith Nightmoon or even Dark Lilith but not possible in gauntlet... can anybody offer a suggestion?

[Stormseye]

Is Mystic wearing Singularity? Could use Prisoner or The Killer?

[rags-6094]

My whole team was dead before I even had my first go. I didn’t get a look... I did wonder about Prisoner and I still have him and the Killer available! I still have Charlotte, Alex, Malakov... no Alchemist, No Warrior LOL, no Musashi...

All these depend on who goes first as well... by the time my team gets first go I could be down to only weaker characters...

[Ip4]

I used wicker owl 7 star and lilith nightmoon it's easy if you have this two

[Olevipoeg]

I think this team is Mystic(Celestial) Daedalus(valor) Magus Wicker Owl Evolved(Singularity)Dark Lilith(vampiric serenity)
That team destroyed my 2 best teams in last round. Managed to kill it using
Killer(Orbit)Magus Lilith(Celestial Cosmic)Dark Lilith(Sacred Serenity Cosmic)Malakhov(Singularity)
It wasn't the best team probably but it was all i had left.

In this round I cant get even past new classic in SS: Alex(orbit) Charlotte(viper)Warrior Lol(viper) and Malakhov(Singularity) :(

I used:
shadow wicker man eddie with gate talis (blue 4 set- immunity to magic damage) and shell,
warrior lol with orbit (or anything with orbit would work),
gunner pdk with sacred, persecution and cosmic,
and musashi with singularity.
You could swap malakhov or warrior hierophant for musashi and charlotte with warrior lol and it should work.
Also there is merit in using m lilith with gate and sacred talis + orbit + a silver effect cleanser, (assassin pdk maybe?) or anything that is immune to doom

Unfortunately we have to be ready to use our good toons very soon.
On my third try I got past that team with:
Icarus eddie (planet)
daedalus (viper + freeze cosmic)
corrupt feldmarshall (singularity)
G krampus (alchemy + cosmic)

[rags-6094]

Thanks for all the suggestions gentlemen, There’s plenty of ideas there for me to experiment with! I will post what I did if I do get past it..
Gate Talisman? Never heard of them, where do I get them from? Magis Lilith is used already, I don’t have Dark Lilith I am never one of the lucky ones the devs hate me I’m sure.

I don’t have that owl thing either IP4 I haven’t even looked at those dungeons yet too much grinding and ironite burning these days...
But there’s still plenty there to work with, many thanks!

[Muzzleloader]

Gate are a 4 set blue talisman that were for sale during an event that was in the last month or so. Too many talisman to keep up with.

[rags-6094]

Ok so using some of the advice given, I used Alex orbit, Charlotte Viper/cosmic, Raven Witch Labyrinth Cosmic freezing, Malakov Singularity.
Charlotte seemed to just explode half way through the match, I don’t think Lilith likes vipers or something... I used Malakovs power move.... big mistake, Lilith won’t let me revive, there was a learning moment!

But the orbits on Alex and the Raven Witch got the job done very nicely. Again Thanks for the help everyone!

[Olevipoeg]

This team somehow kills chars with vipers. I'm trying to figure out how but I'dont have all the chars. Anybody have suggestions how they do it?

[Maiden]

I´m also against the same team Alex (orbit) Charlotte (Viper) W Lol (viper) Major (Singu)

I´m not quite sure yet but I´m thinking in:

G Krampus (alchemist) and crave against Charly healing factor.
M Lol (singu) stealing Perfect Shield and with some luck applying D Ghost / Doom against Major and W Lol
W Minotaur (dunno yet...) his passive against counters looks tempting but I´m unsure, though.
Alex (dominance + sust + cosmic) or maybe Executioner against those Vipers... but he isnt too strong and I would be open against those silvers from the major...

I´m still working around those options.. dunno xD

[rags-6094]

Ok this weeks shout out for help for me starts with The first battle AAA level...
The jail bird.
Van Helsing Eddie, The Madam, The Count Dracula, Assasin Werewolf

What I understand from reading their various passives is no damage taken for first two goes, clear all silver effects every turn, revive dead allies every turn a bunch of stat boosts every turn as well and the Madam is probably carrying Singularity talismans .
So I have already wasted a bunch of my best Assasins trying to overcome them Gambler is wasted as is killers Eddie
I don’t have Raven Witch anymore but I do have the lord of light... any ideas? Beast Ed with Labyrinth perhaps?

[Yup]

If I recall... Permadeath is the key.... That and damage buffs.. Mark, Fear, Punishment, Burns... Note that Mark can do a LOT of damage even though they are "immune to damage first 2 turns".

(I actually think I used Van Helsing for that battle to even the field)

[IronIndy]

gambler-lab
laima-celestial
banshee-light
the count-vorpal

you might be able to put labs on another eddie but thats the squad i beat that team with
good luck

[rags-6094]

Thanks for the suggestions, I already said I’ve used Gambler...
Laima that might work! I think I still have count... sounds like a bit of Talisman swapping but mmmm, any thoughts on an Eddie?

[infinite dreamer]

Maybe Executioner Ed with Marks/Persecution or Labyrinths/Cosmic?

Does anybody have any idea about this team?

[Tim28213]

I’ve been on vacation only running troopers, no time for anything else. On the way home and just had raven witch destroy 2 teams both wearing orbit talismans. Is raven ignoring orbit in gauntlet? She should not do any damage at all but for two rounds she blasted my team.

[Maiden]

Tim, I don´t know if its a something about Raven but about Orbits themselves, sometimes after some rounds, they just stop working, can't tell why. Also M Werewolf at the last Dracula Dungeon was ignoring Orbits.

[george-2964]

6677

Does anybody have any idea about this team?

Sooooo, I managed to pass that team, the talismans are all wrong so it's not that hard: Alex has flash(?)/strike, lol has trooper, charlotte has orbits and lucifer has nothing of note. It was toast for alex (orbit), madam (singularity), G Hiero (trooper) and killer (starfire).

The next team is the real deal though 6678
alex has orbits, lol has vipers I think, lucy has reaper and malakhov has singularity.

Any ideas how to beat them?

[rags-6094]

Hi Troopers
Thanks for past help again this round of gauntlet thus far.
I did manage to get past that first pesky battle at AAA level with the said Talisman on characters, I.e Executioner Eddie with Labyrinth.
Now I have a different conundrum, the very next battle, I have put the labyrinths on VHE and am using hierophant mimics/Warlord, Musashi starfire, Anubis purge. Here’s my problem.
I have killed 3 of 4 of the opponents now I have Ferryman with labyrinths to finish off, I have got him down to a squillionth of life left, I can revive my team thanks to Anubis and VHE but that last tiny bit of life can’t be extinguished from Ferryman

The battle has been going for about 3 hours now. If I choose to end I’m not sure I’ll have enough Eddies left to complete level AAA so my question is what forces do I have in my ranks that can take him out? I mean I have reduced his HP to just 10% and of that he has a tiny slither of life left but what ever I did to get him down to that isn’t working any more..

I think I have tried every power move on every character to no avail so it comes down to combo moves now, anyone got any ideas ?

[Yup]

Rags.. VHE will cast Mark.. use that.. Mark WILL damage Ferryman with perfect hits.... so use Musashi to keep Immortality off of him..and keep hitting him with mark as often as you can.

[rags-6094]

Thanks Yup I have done that but it doesn’t work on the last tiny bit of his life... also since I’ve written the previous post VHE is dead, I mean Anubis has stopped reviving him for some reason, I’m close to giving up, I’ll just have to hope I have enough Eddies left to complete AAA.. really annoying when my team is 3/4 vs gauntlets 1/4....

[Yup]

yeah with a Hierophant, Anubis, and Musashi.. You'd have to just wait for Ferryman to drain his own HP to death... he will eventually.. depending upon what that 6th talisman is on him.. cosmic no doubt, but cosmic what??

I've had the same battle before with only Musashi vs Ferryman... it went on forever.. but eventually Ferryman's HP drain kills him. Using Mushasi's power move to curse (or damage boost, whatever it is) Ferryman makes his HP drain do more...

Thanks for the help Yup I owe you an apology to btw.. sorry bout hijacking your thread yesterday I was feeling pretty used by Lotb but should not have ranted on your thread....

I ended up canning the battle and got through with a different line up, all of AAA is completed with only the two losses including the one I had to forfeit... glad that’s behind me!

[Yup]

Didn't even notice any hijack :) No issue :)

FYI round 1 of SSS killed me this round in the first battle.. took like 8 Eds to get past it.. only to get shut down second battle of SSS round 2.....

[rags-6094]

So any tips? Or should I just stop at the end of SS

[Yup]

I didn't have any real issues until that first battle of SSS. So I can't give any specific tips. Nothing stuck out really. -- And that first SSS battle is your best guess because all mien that SHOULD have worked, failed. It wasn't until I had and finally used a fully awakened Wicker Ox that I made it past it.

[rags-6094]

I don’t even have the Wicker Ox little enough a fully awakened one... can you remember who the characters were?
I’m starting SS now so what characters I save could make a difference... that’s all I mean... Thanks for the heads up anyway!

[real_schweiger]

Does anyone have an idea for this team? It´s the second one on stage SSS - left with no ideas, as far as I can´t disable the passives of VHE and the Werewolf. I came closest with POM Ed, but than Lilith thought it had been enough fun and killed my team.
Still avaiable: FFE, Beast Eddie, Magma Eddie, Gambler... W LOL (4*), Lucifer (2*), Raven Witch and Cosmic LOL (each 1*) + some other toons
What shall I look for? Probably a special Talisman setup needed?


6791

Thank you all

[thealchemist]

Dunno. I am up to the first battle of SSS and have a similar team to go up against, it has W. LOL 5* awakened instead of the A. Werewolf. I have plenty of toons to through at it but even then I don't know where to start. Besides needing lots of cleansing and healing. Van Helsing has blue talisman slots from memory?

[real_schweiger]

Wohooo!! I can´t believe I made it through the second battle :D
I used Gambler (serenity / vorpal), warrior LoL (Trooper / cosmic T3 - Immortality), Cosmic LoL (celestial / cosmic), magus Hierophant (space). I started on first turn and was lucky enough to disable passives in my second turn - with this, things went my way. Gambler stunned and Cosmic LoL made them sleep.
Never got that far by now.... so excited :D :D

Well done. I had to do 3 battles to get past the first wave with that similar team I mentioned. I went with Alex Eddie (orbit), Madam (singularity), Killer Prime (artifact and cosmic) and also the Magus Hierophant with space. Hierophant's passive worked wonders in stopping new beneficial effects from appearing on the other team and his basic took care of most of them after the first two turns once silver effects could be applied.
