As the title states....I'm a little 70now and have never been able to clear the gauntlet in 1 day. Is it better to get as far as I can and reset everyday or grind it out to lvl15? Up u till now I have just bit the bullet and cleared to lvl 15 however long it takes.

This is an excellent question. I have exactly the same problem. I can usually clear 4 decks before wiping all my heroes and cards, then I have 10 hours to wait to do the next 3/4. If I get unlucky, I hit that one a-hole with the ultimate deck, and i'm stuck.
So- as posted by Dmg88, is it better to reset regardless of finishing?
Also, has anyone actually done a list of rewards per stage for the gauntlet? would that be worth having stickied on the gauntlet page? I'd love to be able to check it whenever I have to decide whether to wait or push. But that's me.

For me it depends on which level I'm "stuck". If it's like 12, I'll give it another day and see if I can pass it. If I face a hell deck on lvl 2, I'll reset.

I mean, I would say its always worth finishing the gauntlet. 100%. The only reward truly worth getting is found at stage 15- 5* creatures and 5* hero shards. Ive heard you can get 5* from silver chests, but ive never seen one and I got 6/7 5* from the gold one.

Well after getting my second 5 star after finishing the 15th stage, Phantom Liege, i recommend to try to finish it. Unless you find a hard opponent like, i don't know.. mikhal. But sometimes nothing you can do is to reset. So even if you wait 1-2 days better try to finish it. The rewards, most of the times, are worthy.
In 2 days you have 4 deck resets. So think about it.

Gotcha. Struggle through and hope for good end rewards. Gotcha. I can work with that.

The most important thing is really to work on finishing it daily. Until you can do that it really depends how much progress you can make.
If you can get past level ~10 without missing a reset then I'd just reset it as you'll make a lot of extra tokens that way - The 'improved' level 5 rewards are mainly 4/5* hero shards. 4* shards won't make up for the missed gauntlet resets and 5* shards don't come fast enough to make a noticeable difference due to the small reward size and the large potential pool they come from.
If you can only do 2 stages per day for some reason then it may be worth just doing 2 stages of the same gauntlet every day until complete though as you're not missing out any tokens as long as you finish 2 stages *somewhere* in the Gauntlet.
I finish Gauntlet daily, I've probably 'missed' 5 resets between level 35-72 and NEVER got a 5* creature on my main account so it's definitely not worth taking 3+ days to finish it in the hopes of a 5* crit. 5* crits can also drop from bronze and silver chests as well as the gold one apparently - the chance may be stupidly low but it's low for the gold chest anyway, in my experience.

I finish it on the daily basis also. But actually i was kinda lucky with the gauntlet. How do you know your luck chances if you don't do it until the end. The gauntlet shop is not that rewarding most of the times. But that gold chest sometimes it can give you very good rewards: - Thor shards some times: got 45 shards even tho it wont count that much. - Blademaster shards: got almost 40 of them - Phantom Liege x1 well made a difference - Titania x1 also - My first disposal came after map 3 or 6 cannot remember, still gauntlet. - and other hero shards usually between 4 and 5 of them which trust me they count. For a f2p player gauntlet can offer some good rewards. So my advice is to at least try to finish it. Of course, there are some adversaries that cannot be defeated, like mikhal who i got against him 2 times. But those are special cases. Now with the runes and everything is easier. Remember a enemy deck is without runes so yes they are stronger than you. But the runes make all the difference.

Everyone's experience are different obviously, you've had ridiculously good luck with rewards compared to me for example.
Still, if people can't finish Gauntlet in 2 days their overall chest rewards will be much less than yours just on the basis you're getting over twice as many chests - maybe even 5x as many or higher.
Until people can finish it in a reasonable time resetting is the better option IMO as you get guaranteed rewards from tokens, progressing 3 very good 4* heroes - I'm not sure how that isn't rewarding for people who don't have decent 4* heroes yet. People that do have decent & leveled 4* heroes should be clearing it daily anyway or at least be experienced enough to know which will benefit them more on a personal level.

Sonbalin - is it safe to assume that when you say "clear it daily" you also mean it takes multiple heroes and many, many, many good cards, yes? I have one good deck, and then lots of... ok cards at best. lots of mediocre 4's and 3s leveled, but with me having a decent 9k+ deck, all my opposition one shots anything lower than a melded 3 or a top 4.
This is another time thing isn't it... as in, the longer I play the hopefully easier it gets...

I use my main deck and usually about 4-5 replacement creatures, that usually gets me through the lot without having to wait for a 12 hour reset if I don't auto battles.
That's not always enough of course so I have alternate decks that aren't really that good. I use a Curse deck as a throwaway deck I can use to get rid of one stage I don't want to lose cards on, Stabthrough would be better but I don't have the cards. I also have 2 Spiky Bits heroes I can use though they're one-trick ponies as I don't have the cards to make good decks with them really. Finally I have a few back up heroes and cards I just throw together randomly. Using all that I can get through with one 12 hour reset just throwing cards and autoing battles.
I do have quite a few 'decent' cards but nothing special really. 1 Disposal, no Paragon/Revive/anything that brilliant.
Edit - My deck power is about 10900, I have pretty good runes in there though, it'd probably be about 7-8k without them.

Naruto/ragnorok has just posted a vid on youtube with regards to gauntlet. Has some interesting ideas about throwaway decks to help grind through in a day. Stabthrough/curse as we know, but also complete flame mage deck, complete manticore deck, etc. Use Balrog to eat cards against really hard recycle/revive decks. Worth a look www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLEQ8-Fl4nU
