Gauntlets of Ascension

The Gauntlets of Ascension, or simply Gauntlets, are the weapons featured in BloodStorm. They are ancient gloved weapons that are worn only by those in power in the provinces. Treasured and revered by their people, they are the foremost symbol of power and honor that each province can have.

While there are Gauntlets for each of the province leaders, there are also two types of Gauntlets wielded by Nekron and his agents.

Gameplay
Each Gauntlet has its own special power (typically in the form of a projectile attack), specific to their wielder, but the inputs required to use them is the same across all the characters (quarter-circle + front arm).

Gauntlets can also be thrown like a projectile by inputting forward + back arm + back leg. To pick up your Gauntlet to wield it again, input away + front arm.
