Gauntlet

Gauntlets (強襲ステージ, Kyōshū Sutēji, Assault Stages) are a type of event introduced in the Version 9.3 Update.
==Overview==
A Gauntlet is a map containing up to 20 No Continues levels that can drop rewards such as Battle Items, Catfruit, Tickets, Catamins, Materials and Leaderships when completed for the first time. Players can score up to three victories within the Gauntlet before it becomes inaccessible, and each takes 30 minutes or 1 Catamin A to refill.
In most Gauntlets, all levels play out the same, but the strength magnifications and enemy base's HP are increased with each level. Gauntlets also tend to have enemies with separate health and attack magnifications instead of a universal multiplier as a balance.
Similar to Heavenly Tower, Infernal Tower and Legend Quest, all progress made in a Gauntlet will reset when the event ends, allowing the player to collect the rewards again once the event returns. As of Version 12.5, Gauntlets also have a checkpoint system that allows the player to start from stage 10 once the player has cleared stage 10, like in the towers and Legend Quest.
==Colossus Gauntlets==
The Colossus Gauntlets don't follow any specific schedule, and can only be played after clearing Into the Future Chapter 3. Each contains a unique boss with two types: a regular trait and Colossus, a special type that makes them weak to Colossus Slayers. There are two sets of enemies per Gauntlet, one for Lv.1~10 and another for Lv.11~20.
Beating the stages in these Gauntlets may give you the chance to play one of three Continuation Stages that have a much more consistent drop rate of Strong Up, Resistant Up or Massive Damage Up Talent Orbs for the respective boss's primary trait. The Continuation Stages are always named Cradle Wilderness, Summit Wilderness and Frontier Wilderness, but the level design is different for each Gauntlet.

==Monthly Gauntlets==
There are two exclusive Gauntlets per month, which follow a naming scheme of "<Month> Gauntlet" and "<Month> Gauntlet II". The first map is unlocked after beating the main event of the month and appears from the 1st to the 16th, while the second is unlocked after beating the corresponding Lucky Ticket G event and appears from the 16th to the start of the next month.
All monthly Gauntlets have a restriction of "Max # Number of Deployable Cats: 10", though in 2021 the June and July Gauntlets had their own unique restrictions instead.

==Trivia==
*The map used in many of the Gauntlets (shown in the gallery above) is actually based on a map of the Japanese city of Kyoto, especially the river.
*Gauntlets and Floor 41 of the Heavenly Tower are currently the only Leadership-dropping stages not only found after clearing the whole map.
*There was no official English name for this type of stage until Version 10.6, which introduced the first Monthly Gauntlets.
*In the English changelog for Version 12.5, the Gauntlets with their own Colossal bosses were officially named "Colossus Gauntlets".
*The original version of Manbosaki Strikes! was the only Gauntlet to have 12 stages.
*Prior to Version 11.4, Gauntlets were locked for 30 minutes immediately upon each clear, rather than a total of 90 minutes after three.
