Title!

Couldn't find a major.one so here's a thread to share all your tips and tricks, reward opening, and more from this year's gauntlet!

No idea how to beat it myself, I failed on doom right away so I suspect I won't deal with this one very easily given I'm **** at super long fights for some reason, but that's just me

Good luck in your gauntlet runs summoners!

    Yes I'm responding to my own thread but anyways

    Really wish the preview showed the real values so I can determine the path and damage output instead of these 4 star modded ratings ;-;

    Currently running it with apoc, KP, prof x, white mags and doom. Making some good progress but I'm playing really poorly on some of the fights. It's costing me quite a few revives as a result

    Watch YT vids from last time. Sasquatch is a run ender if you do not prepare for him. Most other fights are soloable but some take time. Terrax, Spider-ham, Korg and Sasquatch can be difficult. Namor and Quake can take Terrax, spider ham can be soloed with Quake, Prof X or Apoc (very long). Korg can be taken by Prof X, Ghost, Apoc. Sasquatch is doable with torch. Aegon is clutch especially against Thanos.

    21 fights, just how long does it usually take? I usually look at YT and multiply by 10 for my skill level.

    For how long will the gauntlet be available? Cuz I don't see a timer on this quest.

    My last run was
    Apoc
    Archangel (horseman)
    Aegon
    Proxima (combo shield only)
    Gladiator Hulk (basically terrax only)

    There wasn’t any one spot I felt exposed, frankly but I had enough items and crystals it didn’t hurt.

    Don’t forget with aegon that you can pause, quit the fight to kill yourself, and keep your combo.

    who to charge aegon on?
    A lot of people used weapon x to charge aegon.

    Ibom - I didn’t bring a poison immune, so used a combo of Falcon and herc. Not awful

    Pretty sure peninsula is poison immune @Etm34
    I went double stupid then, as I had no idea and forgot to use her on nick to cheese the LMD health increase 🤦🏻‍♂️

    I did my 2022 run, and went decently. Didn’t keep track of revives, but I had so many in overflow so I didn’t care. My strategy was generally nuke with Herc.

    Team: Hercules (R4), Peni (R4), Falcon (R4), Magneto (R3), Torch (R3)

    Doom - Magneto. 2 SP3 and he’s dead.
    Terrax - Herc. Ramp up, nuke him down.
    Vision - Herc. Nuke down, mags finish
    MODOK - Herc. Smashes after sp1, mags finish
    Ham - annoying because he’s so passive. Falcon
    Weapon X - Peni until I remembered he’s metal. Mags after. Easy life
    Thing - Falcon. Easy fight
    Korg - Falcon, herc nuke to finish.
    Dragon man - annoying. Used the team here. Mags pretty ineffective
    Black Panther - Herc nuke
    Nightcrawler- Falcon. He’s still gonna evade, so lock on and hit into block to switch his mode. Easy after that.
    Gwen - Falcon. She still evades like crazy, so be careful
    Domino - Peni. 2 SP2s with spider sense charges built up and she dies so quickly
    Mojo - Torch cleaned up. Mags finish
    Ibom - I didn’t bring a poison immune, so used a combo of Falcon and herc. Not awful
    Apoc - Peni was awesome until he went incinerate immune. Herc finish
    Sasquatch- I hate lifecycle. Brought Peni for this fight and she was very ineffective. Torch carried
    Killmonger - no armor break = a lot of damage. Herc nuke
    Void - power shield isn’t fun here. Herc nuke was the only option, but it took time
    Fury - not too bad. Herc and Falcon carried
    Nameless Thanos - so much easier than I remembered. Used the team here, herc and Peni did most of the damage, falcon finish as he’s avenger.

    So there’s that. Peni can definitely be subbed out, but she did well enough for most of it I wasn’t mad bringing her. On to the next challenge!

    Great write up! Did you run suicide on your run?

    Just use Ægon, Proxima, Corvus, Torch, and Heimdall. Ægon is slightly annoying to ramp on Doom and Terrax but after every fight is somewhat soloable with him. I definitely recommend him.

    My advice is

    If you have awakened Hercules then don't use Aegon. It's a waste. Hercules can do everything Aegon does without ramp up and one more spot for Proxima M.

    Apocalypse and Hercules will clear 2/3 of the quest for you. You need specific for some really hard fights, which are Spiderham, Sasquatch, Mojo, Dragonman.

    I suggest you bring Void for Sasquatch. I used Apoc and it lasted forever while it can end in 2 minutes with Void. He is the best counter for this fight and this fight alone can define your run.

    Good advise. It's better to bring 5* Void over 6* R3 HT for Sasq ?

    Also is it better to bring Cable or Stryfe for Appoc ?
    I think Void is better because his debuff is passive and Sasquatch isn't immune to passive DOT so once he reach last point of health he will die instantly after one heavy.

    For HT I'm not sure, I think you need his pre-fight abilities.

    Can't say about Stryfe because I don't have him. But I don't think Cable is needed because you need to heavy and any fight you are able to heavy you can use Hercules for same results.

    I completed this two days ago with apoc,kitty,prof-x,ghost,and spidey99. (all at R3)
    i used 30% boost,and i don't run suicide.

    Doom-Apoc
    Terrax-Cheeze with Kitty
    Vision-Cheeze with kitty
    Modok-Apoc
    Ham-ProfX with 200% power boost
    WeaponX-Apoc with team help
    Thing-Team
    Korg- Apoc. It's a great fight to build up his evade charges. just parry wait until the stun about to end then do M-L-L-L.
    DM-Spidey99
    BP-Apoc
    Nightcrawler-Apoc solo
    Spider gwen-Apoc solo
    Domino-Team
    Mojo-easy solo with S99+free healing from the stagger debuffs.
    Ibom-Ghost+200% power boost
    Apoc-Ghost+200% power boost
    Sasquatch-Spidey99 solo
    Killmonger-Apoc
    Void-Team. for me it was the hardest fight of the quest.
    NF-Apoc with team help

    Thanos-Spidey99. he is probably one of the best option for this fight. after one Sp2 he just block Thanos from gaining power with the Wither debuff,and it makes the fight very easy.

    Good luck to everyone.

    I haven’t made it past Terrax yet. Don’t have Magik and have Namor but only at sig 20.

    Saw a video with Kitty so might have to give that a go. Also have a 5/65 Hercules at sig 200 but not sure if that will be strong enough.
