Grandmaster’s Gauntlet - Best Team in 2022

I don’t have any of the newer champions such as Kitty Pride or any of the 2022 champions.

Best thing you can do is post your roster really, then I could suggest a good team!

And do you specifically not want to use Quake? Or are you happy to use her. Your most revive friendly team will include quake, but I don’t think it will be good for your sanity and/or thumbs.

What about Aegon? Happy ramping him up and using him?

@BitterSteel Here’s my roster. I can only Quake and Bake (not Quake and Shake) and I only used her for Terrax last time.

As for Aegon, I can ramp him up if the best option but I’m not sure if my Hercules would be better because of him immortality (he’s fully maxed) or some other 6 star.

Thanks!

My suggestion would be Herc, Apoc, Archangel, torch and warlock personally.

They cover all of the gauntlet.

Doom - Archangel
Terrax - Herc
Vision - Herc
MODOK - Archangel/Herc
Spam - Herc

Weapon X - use him to ramp Apoc, try and do as much damage as you can but if you don’t solo then finish with warlock. Don’t use Apoc to make AA a horseman here.
Thing - Apoc
Korg - Apoc
Dragon man - torch
BPCW - Apoc or Archangel. Use Apoc to make AA a horseman if you’re using him for BPCW

Night crawler - Apoc, if you did make AA a horseman then you’ll need to revive Apoc once to get all his charges back. If you didn’t make AA a horseman on BPCW, then do it here and ramp Apoc up again
Spider Gwen - Apoc
Domino - warlock / apoc / AA
Mojo - torch
Ibom - warlock

Apoc - warlock / Herc
Sasquatch - torch and save your pre fight for this fight
KM - Apoc / Archangel
Void - Apoc / Herc
Nick fury - Apoc / AA

Thanos - anyone, but save Herc for the third phase. Makes intercepting super easy

I have a guide to the gauntlet where I used a very similar team, overseer instead of torch and nimrod instead of warlock. It goes into detail on each matchup so hopefully that’ll be useful for you!

@BitterSteel - You are amazing. If you have a YouTube channel, let me know and I’ll definitely like and subscribed

Thank you!!!

2nd the suggestions above, but I think Herc, Apoc and AA can cover all fights, I would swap torch with Hemidall, and use AA to cover the fight for torch

Torch is really unnecessary. Dragon man can be easily done with herc and Mojo and Sasquatch are easy with archangel

It’s about creating the best team IMO, and yes those fights can be done with the champions you’ve said, but they are equally technically hard fights, with Herc as a 5* against Dragon Man he has a ton of attack and power gain, could cost revives. With an archangel who doesn’t counter disorient, it could cost revives. It’s about making sure you don’t have road blocks or hit places where you need to throw revives at it.

If OP feels confident replacing torch, by all means, but you don’t want to get to the last path against Sassy and realise you’re screwed because you personally can’t do it with archangel

Thank you!!!

I appreciate that! Happy to help

I do have this video you may find useful from gauntlet, it’s all the fights I did with Archangel in gauntlet. Mine is an R4, but if you have an R3 he will do just as well I’m sure!

I have seen most everyone use Apoc....any suggestions if you don't have him? I have practically everyone else it feels like, but this big boy still eludes me!

I think awakened Hercules can do most of the fight Apoc does, maybe some evader fight is tricker, like spider Gwen, I would bring White mags for prefight on korg, and maybe spam, Weapon x and BPCW can be done with AA, watch YouTube on Beroman’s run with Hercules

Listen to this man. He helped me (and saved me countless revives) and many others with our quest for The Gauntlet.

@BitterSteel sorry for reviving this everyone else. Thinking of doing my final gauntlet due to tons of spare revives and I'd like the sig stones...

At launch and second time around, I used 5* 5/65 Aegon and Heimdall, for nearly everything.

I'm still missing AA as a 6* and I'm worried about the evaders just making it slow and turgid.

I've R4 apoc and cable, I was torn between R5 6* herc and take white mags for the prefight for korg, or ramp up apoc somewhere. But... Apoc is the best evade option, given Gwen, right?

Herc, apoc, Nimrod, torch + 1 other, maybe cable or diablo, was my probable team and wondering if I'm missing anything logical for getting it done quickly...

Go with Herc, Nimrod, Archangel, White Mags and Heimdall
You can watch Beroman YouTube channel.
He did it using this team except he used Guardian instead of Nimrod for extra block proficiency but Nimrod works better.
Will cost you very few revives.

Team: White Mags, Herc, Archangel, Nimrod, Heimdell
I had a different team for each run, and this was the cheapest by far. Even though you don’t a 6* AA, I’d suggest taking your 5* and just boosting him with 15% attack, 20% health and everything else you can boost him with.
