Strategies for Paragon Gauntlet

I'm curious what peoples' strategies are for Paragon Gauntlet each month, how do you approach them?
Do you pick your attackers for the 1-2 harder bosses and work backwards from there? What if you're not confident of getting the one-shot on each one?
Do you just go ham with Herc or Aegon, building charges through the more trivial early bosses?
What about this month's - has anyone successfully done the side-quest to get the piece of Deathless Groot? I don't see myself managing that without a bunch of revives...

This months was a bit of a challenge I went in with BWDO (r3 6*), Abs man (r5 ascended 5*), and Domino (r4 ascended 6*).
I used BWDO for Luke Cage and Mr. Negative, Abs man for White Tiger, and Domino for everyone else.
Got the one shots on Luke and DDHK
Paragon gauntlet is normally very easy but this time because of bullseye and mercenary objective, it was hard. This time i used Domino + Masacre for the synergy and Abs Man because he is r4 sig 200.

Starting Team: Herc, Hulk and Odin (for the pre-fights on Herc)
First choice node: Swap in Overseer for Odin (Overseer gives Hulk Reverse control immunity which helps against Mr. Negative)
Second Choice node: Swap in Nimrod for Overseer (Nimrod’s bleed immunity helps against Bullseye)
As for the Carina’s Challenge: My only ranked Mercenary is 5* ascended Domino. So I added X-Pool and Sabretooth for synergies and pushed through… Took me a total of 6-8 revives, I believe…

Of course you can use choice nodes for completion (and also every 4 days for the „Event Quest Completion“ 22h solo objective). Only once do you need to do it with #Mercenary champs without a choice node, if you even care about the Carina‘s Challenge, the deathless piece and the dust, that is…
I got pretty lucky this month with having n R5 ascended WPN X for bullseye. Hit Monkey and Abs handled what they needed to also.
Have heard good things about Abs Man, but don‘t have him…
With that said, here’s my team for Paragauntlet and the objective:

I tried a different strategy this time, which is what got me thinking about it.
I started with Apocalypse, Cable, and Bishop. Apoc handled Luke Cage, fed the Horseman boost to Bishop for Hood and he handled that. Swapped out Cable for Hit Monkey, Apoc handled the next 2 fights though, with Hit Monkey in support if needed (he wasn't). Then swapped Apoc for Titania - she handled White Tiger (got a bit lucky with Haymaker active when she threw an SP3 and was able to gain the solo, then finally Horseman-Bishop got the solo against Bullseye - didn't even need Hit Monkey in the end!
Going to have another go for the Merc quest - thinking Domino and Hit Monkey, then deciding whether to include BWDO or bring Massacre for the synergy...

My team 🤭😂🤣
Weapon X is great for Bullseye tho…if you get to agressive and push him to early after 1 bar of power, he will heal most of the damage.
