==Overview==
 +
Magikrab's Gauntlet is an infinite battle mode where the aim is to go through as many carriages, or rooms, as possible, facing a series of battles that get progressively harder. Throughout the gauntlet, items are limited in use, though the player can encounter Cafe rest carriages where they can heal, switch tapes, or restock items. These rest carriages serve as checkpoints so that the player can resume from there in the future if they choose to leave the gauntlet to claim any unclaimed rewards or if they lose in battle, but the deeper the run, the more expensive the items get from Cafes.
 +
 
 +
In the gauntlet, battles will feature modifiers in the form of infinite-duration status effects that are present throughout a given battle. The upcoming enemy's level, type (regular encounter, miniboss, or boss), and modifiers are shown to the player.
 +
 
 +
Taking part in the gauntlet rewards a substantial amount of [[Fused Material]] which the player can claim at a Cafe, but quitting the game or losing in battle removes all earned Fused Material. The amount obtained depends on both the current run's streak, the carriage number, and the gauntlet's difficulty.
 +
 
 +
====Streaks====
 +
Streaks keep track of the number of battles the player has won so far, and excludes Cafe carriages or carriages containing only ranger caches. Streaks end from losing or from exiting a run. This means that getting a high streak requires going through the game in one sitting, as leaving the gauntlet by any means will reset the streak back to zero. The game keeps track of the longest streak for a given difficulty.
 +
 
 +
It is unrelated to the farthest carriage reached by the player, and it is not necessary to begin at at the first carriage to start a streak.
 +
 
 +
==Difficulties==
 +
The Gauntlet offers seven difficulty levels, which affect the starting difficulty of the run:
 +
 
 +
*Normal
 +
*Hard
 +
*Harder
 +
*Even Harder
 +
*BRUTAL
 +
*Hardest
 +
*Impossible
 +
 
 +
This difficulty affects the number of status effect modifiers, tape count, overspill, and rest carriage frequency.
 +
 
 +
As the player progresses through the gauntlet, the difficulty increases. This affects overspill being disabled, the number of tapes the enemies use, the enemy's ability to fuse, and the status effects present in battle. Higher difficulties also reward more [[Fused Material]].
 +
 
 +
The difficulty does not affect the enemy levels or their AI smartness.
 +
 
 +
{{IncompleteSection}}
 +
 
 +
===Status Effect Modifiers===
 +
Battles can have status effects be inflicted at the start of battle, and have an infinite duration. These status effects are displayed just before entering the next carriage. Any displayed debuff is applied to the player team, while any displayed buff is applied to the enemy team.
 +
 
 +
Applying an opposing buff gets rid of the infinite debuff counterpart, and applying an opposing debuff gets rid of the infinite buff. For instance, acquiring [[Multitarget]] via [[Echolocation]] can get rid of the user's infinite [[Unitarget]] and replaces it with a finite amount of [[Multitarget]]. These infinite statuses can also be removed by using [[New Leaf]] or using a [[Cure-All]].
 +
 
 +
The following lists all possible infinite status effects that can occur in a carriage. The number of statuses applied scales with the difficulty of the run.

Overview

Magikrab's Gauntlet is an infinite battle mode where the aim is to go through as many carriages, or rooms, as possible, facing a series of battles that get progressively harder. Throughout the gauntlet, items are limited in use, though the player can encounter Cafe rest carriages where they can heal, switch tapes, or restock items. These rest carriages serve as checkpoints so that the player can resume from there in the future if they choose to leave the gauntlet to claim any unclaimed rewards or if they lose in battle, but the deeper the run, the more expensive the items get from Cafes.

In the gauntlet, battles will feature modifiers in the form of infinite-duration status effects that are present throughout a given battle. The upcoming enemy's level, type (regular encounter, miniboss, or boss), and modifiers are shown to the player.

Taking part in the gauntlet rewards a substantial amount of Fused Material which the player can claim at a Cafe, but quitting the game or losing in battle removes all earned Fused Material. The amount obtained depends on both the current run's streak, the carriage number, and the gauntlet's difficulty.

Streaks

Streaks keep track of the number of battles the player has won so far, and excludes Cafe carriages or carriages containing only ranger caches. Streaks end from losing or from exiting a run. This means that getting a high streak requires going through the game in one sitting, as leaving the gauntlet by any means will reset the streak back to zero. The game keeps track of the longest streak for a given difficulty.

It is unrelated to the farthest carriage reached by the player, and it is not necessary to begin at at the first carriage to start a streak.

Difficulties

The Gauntlet offers seven difficulty levels, which affect the starting difficulty of the run:

  • Normal
  • Hard
  • Harder
  • Even Harder
  • BRUTAL
  • Hardest
  • Impossible

This difficulty affects the number of status effect modifiers, tape count, overspill, and rest carriage frequency.

As the player progresses through the gauntlet, the difficulty increases. This affects overspill being disabled, the number of tapes the enemies use, the enemy's ability to fuse, and the status effects present in battle. Higher difficulties also reward more Fused Material.

The difficulty does not affect the enemy levels or their AI smartness.

Status Effect Modifiers

Battles can have status effects be inflicted at the start of battle, and have an infinite duration. These status effects are displayed just before entering the next carriage. Any displayed debuff is applied to the player team, while any displayed buff is applied to the enemy team.

Applying an opposing buff gets rid of the infinite debuff counterpart, and applying an opposing debuff gets rid of the infinite buff. For instance, acquiring Multitarget via Echolocation can get rid of the user's infinite Unitarget and replaces it with a finite amount of Multitarget. These infinite statuses can also be removed by using New Leaf or using a Cure-All.

The following lists all possible infinite status effects that can occur in a carriage. The number of statuses applied scales with the difficulty of the run.
