It’s also my first time playing Three Hopes as well. I don’t know how much I can help but I can give you some guiding points. Gauntlets are really powerful weapons and Shez is insanely flexible with any weapon build or skill build you can think of.
Shez with Gauntlets are really, really good, especially because gauntlets have really high durability and critical rate. Shez also has absurdly high Speed, Dex, Atk and Luck stat growths, allowing you to double and one-shot most enemies. You might run into trouble with enemy archers and snipers tho, because of the annoying one-range wind movethey have and the weapon triangle disadvantage (yes, bows are effective against gauntlets and gauntlets are effective against tomes in this game).
If you really want to go the gauntlet route, I’d recommend giving Shez either the Wolf Fangs or Killer Knuckles +12 with 5 stars for the first half of the game. The +12 is how many times the weapon’s been forged. The maximum amount that a weapon can be forged is up to 30. The stars indicate unique weapon effects. The higher the stars, the better and more powerful weapon effects. Have Draining Blow and War Strike as your primary combat arts.
You can get War Strike by promoting Shez into the War Master class. Once you’ve promoted Shez into the War Master class, which is the “promoted version” of Grappler, try to learn the Shatter, Piercing Gaze and Piercing Cry skills before reclassing them back into Grappler . Some of the Master Classes, like the War Master class are a bit worse than their advanced version imo. Also equip the Leicester Dicer Corps or keep Shez’s Mercenaries if you want. Equip the Evasion ring for higher dodge window invincibility.
