Vortex Gaming

· Ahead of the new Gauntlet weapon release, we analyze how accurate the tier list predictions for existing weapons were.
· We compare pre-release predictions and actual performance of previous weapons like Orb, Cross, and Enigma to increase the reliability of Gauntlet combination predictions.
· We emphasize the importance of predicting Gauntlet combinations by mentioning the strong performance of the Dagger and Orb combination in PvP.

· We classify weapons expected to be the strongest when combined with the Gauntlet in PvP content by tier.
· OP (Overpowered):
· Dagger Gauntlet: Overwhelming performance expected in PvP due to synergy with stealth and bleed effects.
· SNS Gauntlet: Strong performance expected by combining high tanking ability with bleed effects.
· Could be OP (Potential for OP):
· Greatsword Gauntlet: Potential for strong performance through synergy with a tanky playstyle.
· Spear Gauntlet: Good combination expected by adding the Gauntlet's utility to the existing Spear's strength.
· Could be Playable (Viable):
· Wand Gauntlet: Potential for use in specific builds, but unlikely to reach high tiers.
· Orb Gauntlet: Tanky play is possible, but limited use expected due to lack of DPS synergy.
· Crossbow Gauntlet: Potential through synergy with a fast playstyle, but confidence is low.
· Golog (Not Recommended):
· Bow Gauntlet: Expected to have little impact in PvP.
· Staff Gauntlet: Not recommended due to lack of synergy between the melee-focused Gauntlet and the ranged Staff.
· PvP Tier Ranking: Dagger > SNS > Greatsword > Spear > Wand/Orb/Crossbow > Bow/Staff

· We classify weapons that are efficient when combined with the Gauntlet in PvE content by tier.
· Insane PvE (Top Tier):
· Wand Gauntlet: Top-tier efficiency expected due to synergy between the Wand's strong PvE performance and the Gauntlet's bleed effect.
· Crossbow Gauntlet: Strong PvE performance expected by stacking bleed effects utilizing cooldown reduction.
· Tank Play (Tank Role):
· Greatsword Gauntlet: Can perform the PvE tank role by combining tanking ability with buff provision.
· Bow Gauntlet: Can perform a meta tank role in specific content by providing buffs along with taunt and tanking abilities.
· Could have a play (Potential exists):
· Orb Gauntlet: Potential for use in specific situations, though lacking skill chain synergy.
· Golog (Not Recommended):
· SNS Gauntlet: Excessive tanking ability is unnecessary in PvE, and team buff utilization is difficult, so not recommended.
· Dagger Gauntlet: Not recommended due to insufficient single-target damage even with PvE buffs applied.
· Spear Gauntlet: Not recommended due to insufficient single-target damage, despite increased AoE damage.
· Staff Gauntlet: Not recommended due to almost no synergy with the Gauntlet.
· PvE DPS Tier: Wand > Crossbow
· PvE Tank Tier: Greatsword > Bow
· PvE Not Recommended: SNS, Dagger, Spear, Staff

· We finalize the analyzed PvP and PvE tier lists and ask for viewer opinions.
· We emphasize that all evaluations are predictions based on current information and experience, and may change after the actual game release.
· We aim to help viewers choose combinations that suit their playstyle.
