Gauntlets


 * This article is about the series of weapons. For the improvable weapon skill that is associated with Gauntlets in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, see Brawl.

Gauntlets (籠手/ナックル Kago-te/Nakkuru) are one of the one of the physical weapon types in the Fire Emblem series that comes in many different materials and variations (i.e. Iron, Steel, Silver, etc.).

Gauntlets are a dual weapon type that cover their user's entire forearms, with most Gauntlets having dagger-like spikes protruding from the knuckles, that allows to hit twice in one engagement unless the opponent is particularly fast while in Enemy Phase, allowing particularly fast characters to potentially attack four times. As such, Gauntlets have high Durability to allow high usage. Additionally, a character can use their own bare fists as unbreakable Gauntlets, but they can only do this if they have the Unarmed Combat Ability.

In Three Houses, only mounted classes and magic classes are barred from equipping them to fight, though the former can make use of them only while Dismounted, allowing a wide variety of classes to use Gauntlets. Classes from the Brawler line in particular have an affinity with Gauntlets.

While there is no Gauntlet type that allows characters to attack from a distance, there is a variety that does deal damage from one's Magic stat.
