About Gauntlets in Throne and Liberty
Tank/DPS Class
Gauntlets are the new close-range bruiser weapon introduced with The Frozen Divide: Nix on June 25, 2026. They blend survivability, aggression, and mobility into a Tank/DPS hybrid built to lock down and grind out targets in melee.
Gauntlets Playstyle
Gauntlets reward players who want to be in the thick of the fight. A heavier combat stance delivers devastating strikes, while the aggressive clawed state is built for relentless close-range pressure. Expect them to anchor frontlines as a bruiser or dive priority targets, depending on the off-hand pairing.
Role in Guild Content
Early on, Gauntlets players slot in as durable frontline bruisers — holding objectives and peeling for healers while still applying kill pressure. As the Nix meta settles, expect guilds to recruit them for siege frontlines and open-world skirmishing in the new region.
Recruiting Gauntlets Players
Because Gauntlets are brand new, recruit for fundamentals over a proven track record — positioning, target discipline, and willingness to learn the weapon. Early adopters who theorycraft pairings will be ahead of the curve once the meta crystallizes after launch week.
Siege Composition
Treat Gauntlets like a flex frontliner while the meta develops: 1-2 per party paired with healer support. Gauntlets and Sword and Shield leans tank, Gauntlets and Dagger or Greatsword leans aggressive DPS. Adjust as live numbers land in the weeks after Nix releases.
