Originite: Type IV

R5

Gauntlets with the unique function of adding healing to a characters kit causing their Basic Attacks to restore a small amount of health to themselves with a cooldown of 3 seconds. The Gauntlets have bad combat stats and the heal would otherwise be considered terrible for most content but it allows characters to activate the incredibly powerful 5P Rejuvenating Glow set which requires healing to buff. This weapon should only be equipped when aiming to use the set on a character who could not otherwise heal.

Verity's Handle is the weapon to build around. Without it, Amity Accord, Stonard and Guardian Gauntlets are the next picks, in that order.

On the Rejuvenating Glow set, run CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG on the 4-cost, Electro DMG on the 3-cost, Electro DMG > DEF% on the 3-cost and DEF% on both 1-costs. Substats in priority order: Energy Regen (Until Satisfied) > CRIT Rate = CRIT DMG > DEF% > Flat DEF.
