A Gauntlet (Not the sort that you wear on your hands) can be defined as a challenge where a single person has to go from one end of an arena to the other by passing through a series of different terrains while being blocked by different opponents. I don't think I can build a better Gauntlet than this map. It's long to test mental endurance. There's lots of creeper nodes. You sometimes have to think fast. You cannot jump to anywhere near the end. There is a wide variety of terrain. Enjoy.
QuoteYou cannot jump to anywhere near the end
I did not realise until I finished this but you can.
Spoiler
Once the green wall dies you can land a CN 2 islands to the left of the inhibitor. Fly over a few loaded weapons and there is a shortcut.
Would be nice if the islands got progressively harder but otherwise nice map.
You can jump around pretty easily in general, honestly. Power zone relays aren't often useful, but they're very handy here. Like you probably need a bertha or something to get you started, but once you've got that, it's not too hard to start jumping gaps.
Didn't find this map particularly hard, more just a slow slog, with using power relays to jump to shortcuts. In fact, I got bored and quit.
