This is the main post to discuss the Gauntlet.
You can see the details for Gauntlet Season 1 in the Announcements forum post.
First off, mazel tov on the Gauntlet coming out of beta and season one starting!
Real quick, here's a visual bug that has been hanging out since the my team option was made for the Gauntlet character roster.
When you're looking at your character selection screen before starting a fight in Gauntlet, you'll normally see the Sands of War that you have available. But when you click on My Team, you see your Sands of Time, and when you return to the Character selection, you won't see your Sands of War and instead you'll see Sands of Time.
It's a bit of a shame because I wasn't paying much attention and ended up accidentally buying a SoT mega pack when I meant to buy a SoW mega pack.
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 was wondering whether, moving forwards, the Gauntlet will be sticking to the same rotation of Warrior/Magus, Magus/Sentinel, Sentinel/Gunner, Gunner/Assassin, Assassin/Warrior or whether they may be mixed around for each rotation e.g. Magus/Assassin or Warrior/Sentinel to give even more variety of possible team builds.
What would cause Magus Chopper power move to only partially work?
No immunity or perfect immunity was in play.
Targeted Sekhmet. Perfect touch only stole one golden effect. Did not steal the others.
It did not transfer the negative effects.
Anyone have a clue why it only partially worked?
That's sad to hear! I stopped using him some months ago but until then he was really good for stealing ALL buffs and hence essential for many PvP matches before the Gods were introduced. Did you try again Tim? Maybe outside Gauntlet, so that we see if it is connected to Gauntlet somehow (unrealistic but who knows...) or a general problem.
Tried him again in a second gauntlet battle and he stole a single gold buff the second time and none of the rest of his ability worked. I put in a ticket.
Have not tried outside of gauntlet.
Are Horus and Prisoner in every team in SS level Gauntlet?

I should undefeated this week. :mad:
My only lost this week was because of the bug I posted about here:
https://forum.ironmaidenlegacy.com/s...ll=1#post84181
Any suggestions on how to beat the SSS team of Hallowed Eddie, Magus Lilth, Alchemist, and Sekhmet?
I think I am out of relevant characters so I'm prolly going to have to quit here. I've tried what I thought were 4 pretty sure fire teams but I lost the coin toss 3 times and got wiped quickly and the last 2 tries I didn't have strong enough characters left to shut it down. I'm curious what would have worked? It wasn't for lack of effort, this one just stumped me.
Grats T-Man. That's pretty impressive!
I have a surprising number of Eddies left. My support personnel is running a bit low. I've used DDE, PoM, Phantom, Hallowed, FotD, Cyborg, IE, GRE, VH, Navigator, Alex, SS, and Visions to this point.
I have teams that can beat this, but they got used already. I will prolly try one or two more times before I give up completely. At this point I'm not losing anything but SoW. I think my next attempt will focus on using Curse and hoping Lilith doesn't get invincibility off too quickly.
Destiny on the M Lilith seems to give invincibility with every turn now. A real pain in the ass. Look for support that removes buffs, and make good use of your talisman as well.
Crusader Eddie finally broke this team for me. I'm 2 Battles beyond it now and hope to get a couple more before I run out of characters.
This used to be a post about strategy in Gauntlet but the devs are not playing fair.
It worked with season 1 of Gauntlet but since we went back to unrealistic talisman setups of the enemy (wrong colors) - Gauntlet - especially in higher levels - has become a lottery. It's no fun at all because you can't plan fights against something you cannot predict.
Another feature with potential that got destroyed by those morons in charge.
Yep, great advise trooper. Talisman management is a must, and yes it is a huge pita! (pain in the ass). If the devs could add talisman management when holding down on a toon or something, it would help. I leveled up and sharded numerous toons since the gauntlet started. Even pumpkins!
I appreciate the nice comments! My only loss was bug related just after this gauntlet session started. It was during one of the rookie tiers. Like I would loose there. :p
Anyway, I calculated every battle once I got to SS. Spent way too much time doing this (won't do it to this extent very often), but if there is a time to do it, it is this session.
I also enjoy gauntlet more than the arena as well. Especially with the latest tweaks. I really have a hard time being motivated to play the arena at all right now. Really bugged, battles take way too long, etc.
Thanks T-Man. I completed that entire level now. Definitely the furthest I've been in gauntlet!
I totally agree about Talismans being so important.
Great post hold.
Really good advice hold I agree entirely, it really is a pain in the ass swapping around talisman but I love the take my time stuff.
Preparation and those magic talisman are the key to gauntlet...
I still have a few characters left too, think I'll try and put something else together for another win or three...
Unfortunatly all three attempts I made failed, I don't have a toonthat can hold Valor left, or Primordials, I used the purple six set in a few different toons along with some destinys in others, but to no avail, Fully sharded Mystic and Soldier failed as well as an unsharded DDE...
Looking forward to reset and getting the rest of the ho on a bike frags at the end of two and half weeks time...
Talisman swapping in Gauntlet could be fast if there was a feature to lock groups once installed on a character and then removed/placed between characters with the required color talisman slots available. Like grouping components in CAD and moving them around. Is this a problem to make?
Keep a 6 set locked and move in 1 action, have 4+2 sets like Shadow and Advantage move at once, lock 3 talisman sets to move as a group, etc.
Remove All Talismans
Transfer Talismans To
Two buttons that would very, very useful.
I think I just went into a SS grade battle against Alexander, Sekhmet, W. Lilith and Prisoner having chosen the wrong Beelzebub (ie unsharded, no talismans equipped dupe). I had eternals on him, so I thought but they weren't there. He was wiped out pretty quickly but somehow I managed to get through with a win by the skin of my teeth. I'm still trying to figure out how I made that mistake as it could have or should have cost me.
I am wondering since dupes aren't allowed on S and SS, is there much point in having duplicates as I haven't needed them up to this point. Are they useful if you manage to get past SS?
I also wish there was a faster way to find the character you want and to swap talisman sets, as the original design didn't have so many characters and talismans in mind. Something has to be done in the near future surely...
Dupes are very useful for clearing AAA with single class available. 5 battles using Prisoner with Primordials for each one for the Gunner run, or having 5 of any other deal-breaker like Magus Lilith or Warrior Undead Rescuer...
Well yeah some dupes are useful for AAA but since Gauntlet came out I've been saving a dupe of pretty much all 4/5* star Eddies and all 5* star allies and even a lot of the 4*. I'm not about to burn them all at the next sac event but saving most 4* ally dupes at this stage is possibly pointless, barring the odd one that has a really good passive or skill set.
I've got to sss level. I didn't realise what no refresh meant until I could'nt use my previous teams! Ha ha lesson learned. I'm struggling now, I'm just wasting sow so i'm leaving it there. Until next time :D
I think the Ranked Reward tiers should be adjusted so that attaining SSS guarantees a better reward than SS. The first SSS specific reward requires rank 50 or better. So, if you're in the top 100, there is no difference between finishing SSS vs. SS come reset. That seems wrong to me.
It didn't look like I would make it but I managed to get to SSS. Without valor or primordials too, I didnt think that would be possible. I feel pretty confident in getting Charlotte now :)
Speaking of rewards, I can't see myself moving up into the top 50, currently at 93. So I don't see much point in doing any more battles, especially with little good allies I have left to use. I could only fall down I think. Since I am only just inside the top 100, I don't like the idea that I could potentially fall to the lower tiered reward of the top 250 grade SS even though I made it to SSS also. But it is what it is I suppose...I mean win rate has to mean something too.
There is something wrong with Enrico at rank 25. He has 1 loss more than me and another 2 guys and is still above us. it doesn’t change anything since the rewards are the same, but maybe a thing to look into in case it happens next time around positions 49&50...
Did anyone else get the wrong rewards at the end of the first Gauntlet? I got 100 warrior mythical frags instead of Charlotte and Eddie frags at Champion I (AAA +rank 2500). Ticket sent so hope to get the correct frags without any issue...
Cheers - I guess it must only be a few accounts hitting this glitch otherwise there would be more posts about it on here. I'm not planning to push past AAA at all so going to need those 100 Charlotte frags back unless they keep dropping 25 or so here and there on smaller events throughout the next couple of months...
AA well be my pinnacle for this ring of gauntlet. My sentinel and warrior are not up to the task. Still need to build my roster. I need about 2 more warrior Eddie's (shaman, Wickerman)
The Gauntlet bug discussion is closed so I'll post this here.
In Gauntlet SS level battle against Rainmaker, blue Lilith, Clair, and Nomad, the Nomad has Shroud permanently. I killed all allies other than Nomad (intentionally left him last). Nomad was completely invulnerable to all damage types from all of my team. Everything was being displayed as blocked. Magic, physical, and true were all blocked 100% and doing no damage. The only way I could do damage was to place a mark on the Nomad then perfect hit. The attack damage was blocked, but the mark damage would actually get applied. I had to kill the Nomad 1 mark at a time. Also during the battle I let the game run on auto for several minutes and watched the Nomad not take any damage at all from any attack with only shroud. I viewed the buffs/debuffs on the Nomad and no other effect was listed than shroud.
I had Vampire Hunter, magus Lilith, Kari, and Lady Azov. There was no reason for Nomad to be impervious to all types of damage that I could see. I emailed it to support. Was I missing something? I thought he should have been taking reduced damage from all of my attacks.Attachment 4977 If I hadn't had the ability to place a mark I would not have been able to kill the Nomad at all.
Exactly that is MY case this fortnight! i’m at rank 56 with 52/56, same as players up to rank 41. but for example napsi at rank 46 has 52/60...
How come that people with the same amount of victories but more losses are above me?! isn’t it just simple common sense math? what am i missing?
I know that i could just win one more battle to jump up 15 spots, but my first SSS opponent is HE,Mlilith,Alchemist and Sekhmet...so it’s not that easy with just rubish characters left on my side :/
yeah, i came here to write the same thing but i see you guys already stated this problem...
It's the first time i reach the SSS level but I'm risking not to get the rewards for this level, cause of this problem about people with more losses being above me, but that's not all..
I also don't get how they came up wih such conditions for the ranked rewards:
at the moment i'm in the Grand Master III level, which has the condition "SS & Rakn 100#", while i'm in SSS! This is simple logic...
but the problem is that the rank above says "SSS & Rank 50#".. and given that i'm not in the first 50 (which i should be btw), i'm in this "limbo" between the 2 ranked rewards.
But i don't get why I'm included in the previous one, as i'm not even in SS level anymore :mad:
They should let us reach the Grand Master II level as you reach SSS. Otherwise i'm getting the same reward that some in SS will get.
I want those 200 Charlotte fragments -.-
Regarding the rankings, below is an explanation from in-game Help:
Attachment 5006
Hmm so it makes sense to play gauntlet earlier in the fortnight rather than later in the fortnight like I have been doing. Not sure I like that (why should it matter WHEN you reach a certain amount of wins?) but ultimately as long as I get some F/C, good amount of Final Frontier and Charlotte fragments I'm happy.
