Description

The Griptide Aquatic Gauntlets are sleek, medium-sized gauntlets designed for underwater combat and agility. Made with an iridescent, wave-like pattern, they cover the forearms and hands, extending just below the elbows. The gauntlets feature reinforced plating at the knuckles and forearms for protection, while the mesh wrist area allows for flexibility. Their size, about 12 inches long, provides a balance between protection and freedom of movement, ideal for both land and water environments.

Tactics

The best tactic with The Griptide is to use their agility and defense to outmaneuver enemies. Focus on quick, fluid movements to dodge attacks, strike fast, and then retreat. If you're a Waterbearer, take advantage of the extra defense and use water-based abilities to enhance your attacks. The gauntlets' defense helps you withstand hits while staying agile, allowing for hit-and-run tactics and precise counterattacks.
