The Gauntlet - BETA DETAILS

[Stormseye]

Summarized suggestions so fsr from posts

Raise or remove the SoW free cap. There are 336 hours in two weeks. The average SoW replenish is about an hour. This would allow people progress a but further without losing too much in risk v reward

Create a new currency to be used, earned and purhased for Gauntlet

Lower the overall cost of SoW for Gauntlet. We have so many ironite cost avenues in the game that the free aspects of playing will limit what you can participate in.

Allow the ability to unlock characters via currency cost

Allow for a continue fee with the same team after a defeat for a currency cost.

Allow full disclosure of opponent teams and their talismans on every floor so that we can plan our teams accordingly. This will not be too unfair as we still need to have a deep roster and the talismans to back it up.

Provide an easier way to swap talismans on characters.

I am sure other can add to this list but these are what I can gather so fsr.

Allow us to use Troopers for our builds

Devs I can’t move farther I got stuck in level SSS second fight once I press battle no matter what team I used the game freezes the good thing is it doesn’t consume sow every time the game freezes i got that last night I tried this morning and still the same problem you might want to check that, enemy’s ID OnTheEdge, enemy’s team Beast Eddie, Angel of Mercy, Magus and Sentinel Lilith.

Same boat here. Yesterday I was reporting: {First bug encountered at SSS grade. When I start the first match the game freeze at the teams window. The opponent team is composed by: POM Eddie, Val, cotd gunner and ACR. My team is: shaman eddie, assasin hellhound, warrior hellhound and crimson red dog. I run Android 8.0.0 on honor 9 STF L-09}

This morning the block was gone, managed to win few more matches befo get in stuck at 5th battle of SSS rank against samurai eddie, belzebub, wrath, clair. Same story of Kamuz, game freeze at window team sketch without consuming sow. Apparently the previous block disappeared with the reset.

I assume there’s no way to go back into it once you’ve run out of characters until the reset?, be nice if I could just start over and test it out further

A good summary but you forgot a point that was mentioned by various people.

The ability to use dupes in quite a few of the grades makes certain characters too important. Having a huge amount of liliths and rare eddies allows for setting up strong teams using the same characters over and over again - especially because you just need one set of good talismans that can be swapped around.
This is against what i believe is one of the intentions with this game mode - to make teams with characters that are rarely used otherwise. The current version is more like: "You now need 5 copies of your best arena team instead of one".

I believe they have enough variety in the mission complexity requirements that people are going to be using characters they normally don't. There was one entire section of missions that would not allow duplicates of a given character so even if you had 4 red Liliths you could still only use one once in that whole section. Other areas you could use each of the four separately.
It does seem they have put some real thought into developing a variety of different types of challenges that will cause everyone to go deeper into their rosters than they would otherwise. At least initial appearances seem that way. I wish I could get further along to investigate the rest of the missions.

However the feature ends up going (I think hitting a wall at some point will be inevitable, personally... even if it gets it's own currency, which it should, IMO), let us never lose sight of what we are truly fighting for!

Actually there is an easy alternative of lowering the cost or creating a new currency... Increase the iron coins rewards. At the moment, you would be getting 4-5 iron coins per sand of war in the gauntlet (as opposed to minimum 10 in the arena)... Make it 10 iron coins (or even 8) per sand of war in the gauntlet ... this way everyone can participate in the gauntlet

[Yup]

Iron coins don't allow you to participate in the Gauntlet though. You can't use them to fight battles.. you can't buy SOW with them....

Really? I had no idea... what's next, you can't use trooper badges to fight in brave new world?

My point was, if the iron coins per sand of war is close in the gauntlet and arena, people who plays the arena for iron coins (I'm sure it's a really high percentage of people) would play the gauntlet more

Made it to grade A and I think I'll stay there because the SoW cost is too obscenely high for one battle. On the bright side it feels good to see myself on such a high ranking compared to the arena. Even if it is meaningless due to how few can play at the moment.

Haven't lost a fight yet though and I haven't used any dupes. It's amazing that there are so many killer team combinations. Makes it very fun.
