Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 9)/@comment-27554970-20161028033800

Finally done. 130 challenges, 28 bosses, 13 attempts, 25 was the furthest I went. I messed up two boss races with cloud save/restore issues, so it should have been a bit less, but either way, it is over.

The first half was fun. The second half was not as much.

To simplify, this car could be won with 31 boss 1 races. So each boss can be desribed as how many B1E's it is (Boss 1 Equivilents). A B1E is around 8,000 points.

Bosses 1, 2, and 3 are worth 1 B1E

Boss 4 is worth 1 1/2 B1E

Boss 5, 6, and 7 are worth 2 B1E.

and so forth.

I beat Boss 6 once and Boss 5 twice, so I saved three boss runs. Hmmm, that isn't quite right, because I also beat Boss 4 three times, so I should have been one boss less. Oh well. To late to rethink the math tonight.

Back in the early going, when I was able to reach bosses worth more than one B1E, it was fun, because each boss race further cut down on the number of bosses I would have to deal with.

Once I couldn't get to Boss 4 anymore, it became not worthwhile going too far into the runs, as it didn't matter enough to risk retries. Then it became a grind to finish.

See all of you next event.
