I have taken to counter-programing the big guns. I skip any gauntlet where one of these beasts is 65%. There just is not point. For "wall" cards I pick someone who is equal or.close on the primary and has a different secondary skill from them for my lineup. Sometimes you can pull an extra win or two from the mismatch. I also just accept I either need to be playing the streaks or ready to dump a lot of merits.
I do find it slightly amusing that so many people complain about not ever getting the gauntlet legendaries while so many others complain about walls of gauntlet legendaries. Surak and Mirror Picard make sense, since they were available basically for free during mega events. The others? Not so much.
I get annoyed at seeing repeated 65% gauntlets for certain crew (Guinan) but I take the walls in stride whenever I see them - redshirt someone and move onto the next battle. The gauntlet is a merit farm that sometimes drops gear or chrons and very rarely a really good crew member, that’s all.
Walls are made to be broken. The presence or absence of a 65% wall has never impeded me from a top 5 finish or merit farming. It makes streak building a little harder but the odds of getting 15 wins in a row isn't as good as people seem to think it is so I don't really worry about it.
What's hilarious is when you get a wall of Guinan/Picard/Caretaker/Surak/Kahless and spend 50 Merits only to get a refreshed wall of the exact same character. Good times 😒

I've had this with walls of Caretakers/Mirror Picards/Suraks... etc
It's medical primary but I had a run when I came up against Mirror Picard almost every time. I did three refreshes and every time it was the same!!!
100% right. The only good Guinan gauntlet is a skipped Guinan gauntlet.

Unless you got some good Gauntlet Guinans.........
