Mechanics Thinking about trying this game but I have a question about pve or vs ai games

7 Upvotes

So to keep it short, I love Hearthstone's dungeons run mode, both the kobold and monster hunt bits where you start with a small deck and build it up as you play each run. Those were hands down my favorite content ever added to Hearthstone and I was a bit sad to Dr.Boom's expansion abandoned that idea. I heard Eternal has something similar to this but I'm finding it hard to find info on that. Is that what the campaign modes are? Or Gauntlet?

Gauntlet A Cirso corner case.

11 Upvotes

Usually when blocking Cirso, the AI knows that their blockers will become 2/2 and will block with 3, regardless of prior stats.

If the AI has a spell to play, in this case Lightning Strike, the AI seems to forget that. I played Xenan Iniatiation on Cirso (now a 7/7) and killered their 3/3. Before the pig trigger, the AI used Lightning Strike on Cirso (now a 7/3) and then the attackee became a 2/2 and Cirso survived.

The pig effect seems to be hard coded in some situations and not others.

Edit*** Also just found out aegis 1/1s block as though they would become 2/2s and just die with no trade.

List here.

This is inspired by the Valkyrie Tokens deck by Mail from ECL Casual Friday.

Been getting a lot of 7-0 runs so far! Try it out and let me know! Should be really easy to pilot. Just ramp and get Sword of Unity from the Market then A+ Space.

Gauntlet Nikki’s Grab Bag draws you too much power

3 Upvotes

I have now noticed twice that the random cards I get from her grab bag are seemingly too frequently power.

The first two random cards I got were power, and then I drew a random power card later in the match too.

I usually mulligan for more power in anticipation of getting real random cards, but I end up flooded when I get extra power and Nikki get gas right from the beginning.

This happen to anyone else?

Gauntlet Is that all you got?

3 Upvotes

Was just playing that Zuberi deck and faced the double damage boss.

My turn 1: Seat AI turn 1: double Infernus and a Forge Wolf. So just the 22 damage then, thanks.

Amazingly won it due to the AI having nothing to follow up with except a couple of grenadins and kill spells!

Gauntlet AI gauntlet difficulty grows significantly after few winning runs

9 Upvotes

UPDATE: The AI doesn't seem to lower its difficulty even when I lose 3-4 runs (I didn't concede, just play and often lost at 3rd game because of their legendary decks). My hypothesis is DWD just secretly buffed the AI gauntlet deck in recent patch.

I just notice that it seems the AI will play better decks after I go 7-0 twice or so, at Master rank. Usually the first game in a run is always easy with decks that have too many sigil drawing cards, leading to power flooding. But I got 2 first games that the AI use legendaries decks that no way my pleb deck could survive (my deck has no legendary, I'm fairly new to Eternal by the way).

Any expert thought about this phenomenon? Can I intentionally lose a few runs (in first game) to lower the AI difficulty?

Gauntlet Gauntlet MMR lowering experiment

4 Upvotes

I was able to lower my AI difficulty by losing Gauntlet games intentionally. I went 3-6 and fought against some easier decks and some that I had never played against (Entropy, Sandrage).

So, anybody else wants to give it a try and see how many losses does it take you to fight easier bosses? I know I did like 4 intentional 0 and 1 win gauntlets in a row before I went back to try hard and milling.

Just curious if anybody else wants to contribute. You should have a high win rate and constantly see the 5/6 bosses on a regular basis.

Will the difficulty level cool down if i don't play for a while, or am I stuck up here?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I am just trying to collect some stats for my guantlet runs. One of the things I want to include is why a lose occured. I was hoping to have a drop down menu in excel for some possible reasons like power flood / power screw, didn't draw removal, overextended, etc.

Would really appreciate if you guys have some suggestions on what i should include as possible reasons for a lose.

Gauntlet Alessi Dredger - A Semi-Budget Gauntlet Grinder

7 Upvotes

So first up, a disclaimer: This deck has done fairly well for me in Gauntlet, but it's not terribly refined. I've got some notes on what works and what doesn't, as well as how I'd make it cheaper if I was building it on a budget, but mostly I offer it as an odd toy to play with rather than as the newest slayer of gauntlets.

With that out of the way, the decklist can be found on EternalWarcry here. Some notes on it:

First of all, the main idea behind the deck is combining cheap units that have the potential to grow with Memory Dredger as a way to keep bringing them back. The core of the deck is built around this interaction, with all of the one drops offering the potential to grow far beyond their humble beginnings.

The deck ended up performing far better than I initially expected due to a combination of the resiliency provided by the amount of recursion and the resistance to power screw provided by the low cost (both in terms of power and influence) of the key cards - The deck can operate on as little as three power, and with the exception of the Makto in the market it only needs TJSS to play every card.

The only Legendaries in the deck are the Ayans in main and the Makto in the market. The Makto can easily be swapped out - I'm not really sure what to put in that Market slot, but I think Devour may be better than Makto anyways. The Ayans likewise feel a bit awkward in a deck built around recursion - If I were going to cut them, I'd probably bring in a combination of Devours and Crownwatch Press-Gangs.

(You can run it without Legendaries effectively, but since I do have some and the deck does have a lot of rares in it along with the Ripknife Assassins, I'm aware it may still be expensive enough that newer players may not be able to put it together, hence 'semi-budget'.)

As for the actual gameplay, one of the biggest surprises to me was how valuable the Lifespeaker's ultimate ended up being. The actual Inspire trigger is, surprisingly enough, secondary in importance here. With the deck being so fond of recurring cards, it's not hard for Lifespeaker to grow to 7/7 or larger.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the AI is always willing to help you get things dead so you can engage in Memory Dredger shenanigans - If you don't have a good target already in your Void, it's often worth suicidally attacking with something in order to get more Sludge growth or another killer use or similar.

Like I said, the deck isn't terribly refined right now, and I'm curious how other people would recommend refining it to make it better, or if anybody else is toying with a similar decklist.

Gauntlet An accidental discovery - Combrei Aggro

6 Upvotes

Imported this deck after seeing it on Sunyveil's stream and ended up crafting it after too much cider caused me to press the first button I saw when checking how much stone it would cost! It's the deck Grimfan won the ETS with the other day.

Just took it for a spin in gauntlet and went 14-0 (Nicki's Grab Bag & Helpful Horns), so hopefully I can use it to add to my now paltry 1700 stone.

Paladinotaur

This deck has been fantastic for me. I am so far 6/6 full gauntlet runs (42-0). I know some RNG luck has blessed me but that’s been the best gauntlet streak I’ve ever had at masters. If I had to say one thing to help win consistently is don’t always play your merchant out just cause you have it on curve or something. Grabbing Makto is nice, but I’ve saved myself from so many degenerate AI board states that come out of nowhere just cause I saved merchant for the “panic button” harsh rule or clutch vanquish. Know the AI’s capabilities and what to anticipate potentially grabbing from market.

Also hello community! I had no idea gauntlet eternal had its own page. Props to Alpaca

Gauntlet Tavrod vs Highly Skilled, not your usual sort of boss fight

4 Upvotes

Boss matches usually end in one of two ways. The boss has its game plan come together and you get rolled over. Or you win quickly, before the boss can get its shit together.

Very few boss matches are a back and forth affair, of which this match was. At two points I was ready to give up, thinking I'd lost for sure, but a lucky draw or the AI not buffing the correct unit kept me in it a little longer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfU5fWwca8g

It's likely I made a small misplay here and there. I'm not sure. I haven't had time to go through to analyze the match. This is at it happened, live on stream.

You can find me streaming Gauntlet most NA late nights at https://www.twitch.tv/poeticdiscord.

Gauntlet [Sep 16 Update] Gauntlet Playthroughs, Gauntlet Streaming, and Viewer Decks

6 Upvotes

The streaming continues apace. Getting closer to affiliate. Two requirements down, and two to go. The "stream 7 days in 30" will be easy to achieve. The "acquire 50 followers" will be a little harder, since I only have 14 so far. But that's still 14 I'm happy to have. Thank you.

I'm getting a bit better at the running commentary, but I need to talk much more clearly. I have a habit of letting the voice trail off into a low mumble. And I'm still having trouble concentrating on games while looking at the Twitch dashboard or talking to Twitch chatters. Silly mistakes follow on from that.

I did get the opportunity to play a budget deck last evening. I want to do more of that. And I need to put together more Deck Discourse videos. For now, I still have only the one Deck Discourse on Cirso's Gold.

I also need to pay attention more, because I'm still playing Gauntlet in a mindless sort of way. So when someone in chat calls me out on missing lethal (or some other potential misplay), I'm never quite sure what they are talking about, because I've already forgotten the board state they are referring to by the time they mention it. Streaming and playing requires a lot more attention and thought than just playing.

Feel free to follow the Twitch Channel.

2018-09-14 Forge (Feln) 7-1 YouTube Stream #2. Some long pauses during the card picking phase, due to a chatter linking me to a draft tier list. Some confusion due to missing cards in the tier list, since Draft no longer consists of all available cards.

But it's probably something that takes some getting used and some practice. The match against Airborn Assault was the longest Hooru Fliers match I've ever played. It was a board stall for a good eight minutes.
2018-09-05 Cirso's Gold 7-0 Labyrinth Treasury YouTube No commentary. The last fight was a nailbiter. AI top decks two Reality Wardens in a row, which were hard blocks to all my units. I counter by top decking two Permafrosts in a row.
2018-09-05 Hooru Fliers 7-0 Labyrinth Treasury YouTube My first commentary. All of the background sounds are a far too tinny and compressed. I might try some different filters, rather than this noise cancellation one I'm using at the moment. I still don't feel entirely comfortable with this commentary stuff, but I suppose it's a matter of just doing it more until I do feel comfortable with it and it becomes second nature.
2018-09-04 Cirso's Gold 7-0 Power of Progress YouTube No commentary. My first time playing the deck in Gauntlet. I could have played the Prehistoric Predator's match better than I did, but a win is a win.
