Ice Dragon Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I doubt we'll get any retconned gauntlet users outside of seasonal units. While I can definitely envision gauntlets filling the void the currently exists for a physical melee colorless unit, the current problem is that there simply isn't enough characters that could be given the weapon. Beasts are the only truly new weapon type that was added to the game after launch (all other new weapon types were different colored versions of existing weapons that share their inheritable weapon pool), and they got 3 nearly back-to-back banners and no inheritable weapons in order to fill out the roster. If gauntlets were to be added to Heroes, we'd end up either with no inheritable weapons again or they'd need enough of them in a short period of time to fill out a reasonable inheritable weapon pool.

It's too difficult to balance the effect on inheritable weapon, and removing the effect is well within the range of reasonable concessions to make on canonical weapon types.

Dark Holy Elf Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I'm a bit skeptical that we'll get gauntlets as a weapon type, partly because Three Houses itself hardly has anyone whose default weapon is a gauntlet. Raphael is the only character in the game who has gauntlets as his highest starting weapon rank (Caspar's an axe-user). If the game had several canon brawlers including one of the lords or another similarly popular character, it'd be more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can always add gauntlet seasonal alts while we wait for another game to add more canon gauntlet users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Only canon brawler is Raphael who is a Grappler post timeskip. They could make seasonal ones, but only one user of an entire weapon type that's canon is too much of a effort to actually make the damn weapon type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Hopefully, none of them, and I don’t want to see gauntlets/brass knuckles/“melee” weapons further in the series. It might have been fun as a one-time experiment (not unlike how the daggers/shuriken were in Fates) but not moving on. The brawlers should stay localised to FETH.

Mercakete Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Considering that gauntlets have a built-in brave effect, I half-jokingly can see IS giving Reinhardt a gauntlet alt (still on a horse, though, despite that not being possible in 3H.) "Knuckles are everything!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterSlayerX Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Characters from 3 houses who could get it - Raphael , Casper , Alois , Felix (could see being more sword though ) Byleth (if they do a seasonal versions of them? Seiros/Rhea (in 3 houses she has 3 sort of outfits . Arch Bishop , Casual and armor look . All 3 could be used for forms of Rhea/Seiros which one could use brawling ) Characters who could be brawlers in nature Any Character who is pretty much a fighter/warrior/berserker/pirate/armoured knight/general could easily fill this role Characters already released who could get different versions Bartre (Younger Version) , Hawkeye , the Wolfskins , Hector Complete guess but possibly as some reverse gauntlet or fist like combat could be sacred stones final boss the Fomorttis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
