Gaming Gauntlets in the new Fire Emblem

[grey72]

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong subforum.

Are Magical Classes (Monk, Mage, so on) unable to equip gauntlets in Fire Emblem Three Houses? It's the case for me and I can't seem to find any info online confirming this, other than the mounted units restriction. Anyone able to confirm this for me?

Not sure but I think everyone can equip whatever weapon they want except magic which can only be used by magic classes.

My magic classes can't equip gauntlets however, can you confirm that for me?

Yeah that's right, my magic classes and cavalry cannot equip gauntlets. Not sure if there's anything else that cannot wear them.

Strange that everyone mentions the cavalry restriction but not the magic one

IIRC you need at least an E+ skill level proficiency in Brawling before you can equip Gauntlets as a weapon. This is true for any weapon at that. Click "Initial Levels" on THIS chart to see the starting skill levels for each toon. If you want to equip something that someone is not innately capable of equipping then you will have to tutor them that skill first.

Edit: Forgot to add that higher quality weapons (Steel, Silver and onward) will need higher skill levels to equip.

Doesn't seem to be the case. My bernadetta has an E in brawling and is an Archer and equips training gauntlets just fine. The limitation seems to be magic and mounts only.

Yes it seems that there might be class restrictions too.

Edit: Quoted from here:

"...character can equip most weapon types in any class, although there are some restrictions (Gauntlets cannot be used while riding and magic is limited to select classes)."
