I find the best if not the only way is to have someone with immunity passive (like G Lilith, G Shinobi, etc) on your team and maybe even M Lilith as an insurance if we lose the coin toss. It also helps to equip someone with valor talisman to take care of golden buffs.Quote:

Charlotte or Any other heavy hitter (I don’t have Killer prime or else he is a better choice)
Winning the coin toss helps a lot but even if we lose it G Lilith will take one for the team and hallowed Ed can revive her.
Edsel, I am stuck at that same team right now. My best run i only took out two of them
Dont forget the sentinel trolls passive heals those with permadeath i think, might be helpful because of the killer prime passive that gives permadearg each turn
Where is the thread that contains ideas on how to deal with killers prime, written by stormseye?
Ok, not only that playing the last few levels of gauntlet, I never had a chance to even start the battle and lost many teams, I tried with my best and only remaining team and the f*cking game froze, had to restart it and bye bye goes the last chance of this week gauntlet. Thank you devs...
I also got stopped at Magnus this round. Super tough.
grrrr...i started 6th battle in SSS and stupid retarded game crash and lost every thing...fuck this game!
Because you asked earlier: I won the coin toss now 3 times in a row and went 3 times in with fairly good characters - including DDE, Charlotte, HE, Horus, Green Troll, VE, Gunner Shinobi ... with all my teams I didn't see the 3rd round and the oponents were standing with full health and loads of buffs ... exactly like in your videoQuote:

To the devs: ... you really know how to make something fun, don't you? Compensating for bad coding skills? This is not even close - it's just watching you team getting shot within 10 seconds ...
To everyone else: make sure you keep your Prisoner and all your other strongest chars as long as possible to face those 4 c*nts in Gauntlet - if you still play Arena -> that is your team to go.
I still have Alex Ed, Deadauls, Icarus, A Lilith, Madam, Sekhmet, Aset, Beast Ed and a few others ... I really saved a lot of good chars in SS just for another tough round but this? ... I probably bang my head against this wall a few more times just to prove a point. The main problem is that I can't protect the team (M Lilith gone) long enough to actually get a chance ... Don't have any of the newest pay to win chars because with them one might actually have a chance. Without them and without my Prisoner I can't see how ... I really don't mind a challenge but this is utter bullshit and I am sure the devs know this very well.
Why I waste my SoW here? Because Arena stopped being fun long time ago and I play the 1 needed battle a day.
Quick update: Alex Ed, Daedalus, Sekhmet and Purple Hellhound (Destiny) -> Got one shot in the 2nd round from the SENTINEL Killer Prime (me full health) except of Purple Dog - got invincible and
Alex was just alive and got finished by the Madam same round ... 3rd round first hit -> purple dog gone as well ...
You think those high level warrior chars should be able to put up a fight against the sentinels, wouldn't you? Forget it ... I'll leave it to this now - too frustrating ... I really liked Gauntlet - well ruined, devs!
I see a trend resulting from this killer setup...Attachment 5125
OK - last one ... I was watching TV and striving through my teams and recognized I had A Shinobi, A Lilith, Navigator and G Golden Son left - so 2x Eternal + 2x Primordial ... not a clear winner but should at least make a dent into the other team, right?
The first two pictures show the talisman setups of that sick joke and the last picture is round 2 - so much for the dent - the fight also ended in round two and I was some sort of an olympic winner that came last ... Oh, I won the coin toss and my health relics are maxed out!

Quick question. Is there a way for the opposing team to gain Fury from your attacks?
I know counterstrike gives the opponent Fury when they strike back during your turn, which makes sense.
I was wondering if there is something that gives the opponent Fury every time you attack?
I just noticed in this gauntlet mission I got first turn and when the AI went FFE was able to do his Fury move as his first attack. When I watched the video of it every attack I made gave the AI team a bump in Fury equal to what my own team gained. With the added counterstrikes the AI gained more fury on my turn than I did.
I think all characters build fury when they are damaged. Both yours and the opponents. There are things - talismans, abilities, etc - which will reduce that gain on damage (steal or lower fury) or increase it upon damage.
I tested a similar build in my defense screen and I cannot get a one-to-one parity between the Fury I gain vs what the opponent gains. The AI does seem to gain a tiny bit from every attack, but I have not been able to get my defense set up to generate an equal amount for the AI as the attack team gets.
Could be relics also.. more fury relics will gain more fury.
Could Guard Talismans be the culprit?Quote:

Some passives give fury.
Also, do you have all your Special relics max'd? The special value is what acts as a base for the amount of fury you can get.
They ruined NC by making gold payouts HALF of other levels while making levels twice as difficult. There is not ONE single good "farming" battle in Night City. Not one.Quote:

Then when your'e sick of use 1 ability that will remove endure. I completed A LOT of the current event taunt achievement this way costing very little SOT to do it. Use the Warrior Corrupt Rescuer which power ability has a 50% change to remove blue buffs.... so sometimes I'd get lucky and she'd hit them all with flare leaving endure in tact.
The "Mortuary Bags" in madness is a good stage to grind : Nightmare & Ruins 4*, 3* Evo Runes ... not much money throughQuote:

I stop them from moving with stun, hitting with blind, or heal block maybe I can whittle down the massive go before I get clobbered. I have one blocker left, Artillery Dog who can wear Etetnals. But FFE basic move Earthbound removes all damage invulnerability. IF he uses this one on AI battle...https://youtu.be/-SkOu_6osQsQuote:

Hello everybody
I was passing through level "S" of the Gauntlet, and ual, I saw a Children of the damned magus class, with Primordial talismans ... Should this occur at this level?
Attachment 5131
Thank you all
If this was primordial then your team should all have one silver buff, there are other talisman that could potentially wear, that give them gold buffs... But then again I have seen for myself precisely what your suggesting...mmmffff
Well ... At the time I thought this should happen at higher levels of Gauntlet, (as I've seen a lot of people commenting here) I had never tried to get to the "S", and from what I noticed this was the only case and only character on every "S" grade, for me, so I found it strange.
I guess what saved me there, it was my Children Of The Damned Gunner with Primordials and my Golden Son with Oracles, this must have neutralized this absurdity in the other team ...
Full shot in the dark, not even the Clairvoyant can predict these things.
Wickerman, you just need to get used to going against opponents that you cant guess what talisman they are wearing. The real hard part is when then sent almost identical teams that take your best teams to beat. Having HE, alchemist and m lilith 3 times in a row is a bit ridiculous.
My first S opponent is HE, alchemist, charolette and m liilith. Trying to teach my nephew to play and he barely made it through AAA with my roster.
In AAA league, the game froze twice and they had 3 teams they gave great golden buffs. That league was not easy for my nephew to compete against.
Hey Muzzleloader, I think you're right...
Until last rotation (when i try the Valor talis on "S" leves) I had never given myself the trouble to pass from the AAA level, because I already considered it very difficult for me, even with the possibility of predicting the talismans. Now that I have the most unoccupied head and I have been trying to get a little further (domination talis, they are going to be a great differential I think), I realized that Gauntlet is really challenging on a level that can bother sometimes. hahahaha
But as you said, the way is to expect everything, any possible combination for the teams that we face there.
That's why I'm stopping here, the first time I reached level SS, and I think that's my limit for now.
Cheers
I just fought against magus lilith wearing Eclipse 6 set purple, guess the rules are there ain't no rules when NF assembles their team players.
Just awsome! Beating all five star team wearing most powerful amulets using natural 4 star char team and even without winning coin toss. My hat's off to you!Quote:

After that I did a small experiment. As I don't play Arena but the fight a day I fell into deeper regions (1400ish) ... so I started fights with only FFE. I lost a few because he got stunned all the time. So I gave him wearing Angel and Power Shield and won 50 % ish. After that I ran FFE and Madam with Oracle and just with those 2 I cleared a full list - 1 team pulled up a bit of a fight but I basically ran through.
So I thought I put those 2 into defense - just those two. Checking a day later I have 8 out of 10 wins in defense. Sure I got quite a few relics but really? Pretty much shows how OP all this new stuff is ... Looking forward to next Arena event that I can run on autoplay I guess ...

Rags-this has been the worst instance of Gauntlet IMO. I've had bug crashes, force quit, multiple instances of talismans and character abilities not performing as they should. I've accepted that they are going to put whatever talismans they want on any character legal or not.Quote:

Is anyone experiencing more than normal freeze in arena/gauntlet. I rarely could play more than 1 gauntlet without having to restart the game. It would just hang when trying to move between gauntlet/arena. The last day I have had some bad weather and was wondering if that was the cause.
End of Gauntlet for me at AAA. Could not pass the last fight. Really annoying. I really don't like AAA with Magus only. They are weak compare to Assassin and I don't have enough. But at least I should be able to receive my 100 AM frags.
My nephew had a hard time with this level with my roster. Those golden buffs where hard to counter with magus teams. I think this was one of the harder AAA opposing teams that came across.
FFE/Osiris/Killer Prime/Madam my first fight 2nd time round SSS level, I have a host of fully skill sharded characters, none of which could come close against those two sentinels alone... I've tried twice now, I'm just throwing my sow away...
I’m facing this team right now for the 2nd time. That’s some BS! This was my first SSS battle, and now again first battle 2nd round. It was hard enough getting the first win, trying to get another win against this team now is brutal!Quote:

What did you use to win the first go around? Does the red snowman passive defense work? I haven't earned killer prime yet, so am not familiar with him.
I had already used KP. Didn’t try the w snowman.Quote:

The Arena defense test area is extremely buggy (surprise), and it won’t tell the true tale, but I sometimes use it to get a feel of things against hard teams. Wish this worked properly. Would be a big help.
The actual Gauntlet battle was easier than my test runs. Thankfully.
Try figuring out a second team. :rolleyes:
Tried 2 more teams that I could win with in test runs. Both got completely destroyed when it mattered. Hardest team to beat in the game with pay talisman at that. I had to face that teen twice. I’d say that’s impossible to pass. How fair is that?
I’m done with this Gauntlet session, and once again disappointed with the unbalance of this game. Gauntlet is the very last thing I enjoy with this game, and now that’s gone as well. :mad:
