Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 7)/@comment-27554970-20160801022605

I won't have a lot of free time this week, so I'm going to try to minimize the amount of clock time I am playing this to win the car (without spending gold, hopefully). You need 30,000 points a day, so one way to do it is to run all 24 races each day, retrying if you lose in the first 3 races but not retrying if you lose anything harder. If you use the tickets before you reach 20 and stop regerating them, you only ever have to beat Boss 1. It isn't about never retrying, it is more about losing now and then to keep the bots slow and keeping the challenges easier by restarting the run. I will retry if I do something stupid (like thinking I'm in Tilt B and am actually in Tilt A and hitting what I thought was the gas and going backwards because it was really the brake), but retrying over and over on a hard challenge wastes clock time, so I'd rather go back to the beginning and get easier challenges.

If I can go further than boss 1, I will, I just won't worry about it if I did. I could intentionally lose the 4th race to reset, but in past Gauntlets, I've usually beat Boss 2, so I do find it worthwhile to go as far as I can into the run. Once it gets too hard, though, I just restart.

Of course, the nice thing about Gauntlets is that there are many different ways to play them, so others can try to do it less runs, or try to do it without retrying or upgrading or whatever you want. Have fun.
