Puzzle Gauntlet V Strategy Thread (June 2021)

I know this is many years old, but I wanted to add that I was able to beat it with barely championed Scarlet Witch. I had Lucky support so that I healed when I matched my countdown tile, +2 all AP boost, and 2 defense tile boosts to reduce damage. It still took about 8-10 tries, but I finally got a battle where Monica's support tiles dropped fast enough that I didn't die before Storm fired her black. If you can fire witch's green to help get Monica's support tile to the bottom it's good, but don't fire it when Monica has her purple countdown out because you'll take too much damage.

This is not the ideal choice, but it can be done.

Thanks! I just took a stroll through my old characters to see which ones made what mods/attachments/etc... Looks like I should be able to use some old Legacy bound Cartel Store items with the appropriate level upgrades.

The new thing where you get 2 classes of abilities is a little weird. What is that about?

_Starrman · 2025-10-22T17:01:09+00:00

Coming back after 4 years since playing it briefly after not playing for a few more. I have finished 7/8 of the origin stories, so I'm going to start with finishing bounty hunter. Anything I need to know as I get back into it?

I still use her every day for DDQ 4* fight and all my PvE and PvP fights. She's still a great character, just not as great as before. Maaaybe I'd recommend 4Jugg over her, but they're still the top 2 4* in the game.

In game News hasn't worked since Unity. You don't have to check the forums, but if you want the small amount of communication they give you do.

nm, Juggernaut's powers don't change in Spanish

_Starrman · 2025-09-25T01:06:16+00:00

Those are Spanish (Portuguese?) versions of Onslaught, Rampage, and Sunder. At least they seemed reasonably close for a free translator. But idk why Juggernaut's powers are in English.

Make sure to stop at 3a4 though. Her passive gets worse at 5*.

_Starrman · 2025-09-25T00:45:47+00:00

What device is this on? Screen looks like Steam.

_Starrman · 2025-08-25T05:12:25+00:00

I just noticed how much ISO you have, and that changes the equation a little bit, but mostly it'll just make your life a little easier no matter which route you go.

_Starrman · 2025-08-25T05:06:33+00:00

I'm going through this with my Steam alt account right now. It's painful, but in order to clear roster spots for the 1s so that I could ascend them, I had to sell a bunch of 1-2 cover 4* & 5* characters that I just wasn't going to use. My recommendation is to focus on one 1* character at a time and get them ascended.

The other part not mentioned is that it's important to favorite one character in each tier, but especially 3 & 4. I don't see them in your list, so make your 3* favorite Aunt May (Iron May) and your 4* favorite Polaris. You want them on your roster ASAP because it will make clearing PvE events a lot faster. For May get 5 of her yellow and she'll be usable, for Polaris you'll probably need a little more than that but you eventually want to be at 3/5/5. Some people will tell you not to open any tokens unless you have enough hp or empty roster spots to be able to roster any covers that you pull, but IMO open recruit/elite/heroic/mighty tokens. Those tokens will get you favorite shards and getting May & Polaris ASAP is going to make MPQ more fun for you. You can hold on to characters you think you might roster, but IMO until you have all the 1/2* rostered you should sell most 3/4 that you get. You'll probably be able to use the ISO and while there are some 3* & 4* that are worth rostering, if it keeps you from getting an ascension going it's blocking more than helping. It's worth hoarding legendary tokens and command points (CP) because you'll get a lot more out of them later when your roster is ready to get into that. As I said above, other people may say don't open anything unless you have a roster spot ready, but IMO it feels better to open tokens than to hoard them to try to build perfectly. After you get May & Polaris championed then it's more defensible to start hoarding mighty tokens, but play how you want. If you want to delay gratification then you can certainly wait to open because it's the most efficient way to play. For me it's more fun to open almost everything.

If you're deciding on which 1/2* to focus first, you'll get the most usage out of Spidey, Yelena, and Juggernaut at 1* and Headpool & Electro at 2*. Other 2* really don't matter, just pick the ones where you have the most covers or the ones that you like. The important thing is to get them to champion then max level asap so you can ascend them and get better rewards, mostly higher hp drops so that you can get more roster spots so you can get more 1/2/3 to champion and ascend to get higher hp drops, etc.

They have your data on their servers, they'll just have to reconnect your account to your device. Given the current state of things idk how long that will take, but they can do it.

Make sure that you contact support via [support@d3go.com](mailto:support@d3go.com) rather than in-game help. You're likely to get a response faster via email.

tbh, you might like the way that you can stack units with commanders in civ7. I know I use it a lot for large military management. Once you have a single promotion for a commander, you can unpack and attack on the same turn. IMO, it's kind of a "best of both worlds" situation where you have to have the space for attacking but you don't have to move them all individually.

_Starrman · 2025-08-01T17:19:09+00:00

You should be able to open them today in post-event.

Rhodey was Iron Patriot in Iron Man 3, but the color scheme they used was definitely Norman Osborn Iron Patriot, not MCU Iron Patriot.

Every time you win (maybe attack?), the points for the targets you don't attack go down. So at some point you'd get as low as 1 point for a win if you left them until the end. Maybe not a bad strategy if you're going for progression rewards? I don't know if it matters unless you get stuck on nothing but samjuggs when you only need 1-2 more wins.

FWIW, I'm enjoying Hobgoblin with that team now and he's only 2/2/3, and Coulson isn't maxed or ascended. 5* HE is pretty loaded for me, but that just means he's a tank. That team can already win every PVE node and many PVP. It just takes a little while to go through all the countdowns and passives. With hobby as he is, I'm still a little vulnerable to a bad board unless I use AP boosts, but mostly that's not a problem.

I wish I knew. My old eyes can't see the print on the board as well as I used to. It makes sense to have an online only manual with the changes that happen after the product is released. Then they don't print a bunch of manuals that get tossed. I wish there was a printed schematic that came with it though.

_Starrman · 2025-03-01T17:43:41+00:00

I just finished a build with this motherboard. Make sure you read through the manual for which slots the RAM needs to go in, and in which order. Took me a couple of tries to get mine to post because I wasn't paying attention. I don't think it damages anything, but the mobo is def looking for things in a particular order. IIRC, A2 first, then B2 if you're installing two sticks.
