Gauntlet: Blitz Best Characters

Best Characters for Gauntlet: Blitz

Tank DPS / Support
JolderJolder Tan-2Tan-2
DPS DPS
GwynnGwynn Ning FeiNing Fei

Jolder's ability to create a large shield with her super Barrier of Starlight is invaluable for protecting teammates against the boss's missile salvo attack. Similarly, Tan-2's Blessing of Dusk or Blessing of Dawn can provide damage boost and healing respectively to the entire team.

Although Gwynn and Ning Fei struggle against the actual boss phase due to it being a ranged fight, they are invaluable for clearing regular and elite enemies during the entire raid and can shorten the boss' invulnerability phase significantly by quickly defeating the priority targets.

Alternative Characters

DPS DPS
WolfWolf IkoraIkora
Tank Support
KabrKabr AttalAttal

Both Wolf and Ikora are great options for DPS thanks to their skills which can quickly dispatch regular and elite enemies throughout the raid. Ikora's Nova Bomb, in particular, can clear large groups of enemies and deal burst damage to the boss.

While Kabr's Resistor Barricade offers a smaller shield, it also charges faster, which means he can provide shielding relatively faster compared to Jolder. Meanwhile, Attal is a great option for pure support and can also deal burst damage with her Song of Faith super when needed.

Gauntlet: Blitz Walkthrough

Gauntlet: Blitz Guide


Defeat the Two Servitors and Heavy Shanks

Two Servitors will appear on each side of the hallway accompanied by Heavy Shanks after clearing the regular enemies. You'll need to defeat the Servitor first since it grants invulnerability to the Heavy Shank.

Use Rocket Launchers to Destroy Electric Nodes

Once the Servitors are dead, Scorch Vandals will appear and are marked as priority targets. You'll need to defeat them and grab the rocket launcher they drop so that you can destroy the electric nodes in the northern part of the hallway near the door.

Defeat the Two Servitors

Once you reach the boss' arena, two Servitors will spawn accompanied by a large group regular enemies. Each Servitor has a Solar Shield so use Solar weapons or characters like Wolf or Tan-2 to quickly burst them down.

Vognos, Fortress Mechanic Boss Guide

Gauntlet: Blitz Guide


Deplete Vognos' First Health Bar

Phase 1 of the boss fight requires your team to deplete Vognos' first health bar as fast as possible.

Vognos starts the fight by immediately firing at your team with basic ranged attacks and will keep a healthy distance away from the stage, only coming close to rarely use a slam attack. The boss will also sometimes summon regular enemies in between attacks.

Use Shields or Hide Behind Cover to Avoid Vognos' Missile Salvo

When you see Vognos levitate upwards, it's preparing to use its missile salvo attack. Run behind cover or use Jolder or Kabr's shield to protect yourself and your teammates.

This attack comes out fast and covers a large area, and the missiles have some tracking which makes it hard to evade. Keep close to your team's tanks or behind cover to avoid getting knocked out.

Destroy the Electric Nodes

Vognos will become invulnerable once you deplete one bar from its health and will start summoning enemies including Servitors. You'll need to defeat the marked Scorch Vandals and grab the rocket launcher they drop, then use it destroy the electric nodes near Vognos to remove his invulnerability.

There are a total of 6 Electric Nodes that you need to destroy so focus on defeating the Scorch Vandals during this phase so you can remove Vognos' invulnerability.

Note: Vognos will enter its invulnerability phase twice during the entire fight every time you deplete its health bar, so

Deplete Vognos' Last Health Bar

Your team's goal during the last phase is to deplete Vognos' remaining health bar as fast as possible. Ignore the regular enemies and focus all of your attacks on it, using any Super you may be saving during this fight.

Once the boss is down, grab your rewards from the treasure chest in the arena!
