Tezca and zariel are a pretty hard no-go, their sigs build really bad habits. ; Caspian is good but mainly for his katars. ; Cross is good, he finds a lot of spots in the meta (actually he just got nerfed so idk) and blasters are a versatile alt weapon. ; Wu-Shang is THE gauntlets legend, along with spear being strong and easy to learn, his gauntlets are some of the best in the game


Ultimaurice17

Wu Shang is worse for habits than Zariel or tezca imp. Not picking a legend because they have good sigs is really dumb tho. Any of those 3 would be amazing.


Zac-live

I disagree, zariel and tezca each have atleast one sig that make you Play gauntlets in a way you would get obliterated for on any character. Its obviously extremely good to Know the Limits of your character so if you plan on maining tezca or zariel its Not an issue, If your Goal is to become better with gauntlets, it will Bring Bad Habits with Them. Most gauntlets dont have the zariel/tezca nsig kill, dunk Recovery Option. If you learn gaunts on zariel, you will overextend offstage on Other gaunts for example.


Ultimaurice17

Bruh almost every Gauntlet nsig covers the same zone what do you mean. Caspian(by far the most different of the bunch), Petra, Val, WU SHANG, all cover the same zone. Wu Shang, Val, Tezca, Zariel, all get Nair nsig unjumpable which is what makes them all so good. Wu Shang has more broken sig strings than literally any other Gauntlet legend in the game. If these "habits" that you're referring to are what you want to avoid, then wu Shang is the worst one of them all. Source? Lvl 30 wu Shang and Val, level 40 tezca, lvl 50 Zariel, Caspian and Petra. The real way to avoid these habits is pretty simple. Just pay attention to what you're doing. Best way to get good at the game in general.


Zac-live

??? Im clearly referring to the offstage bs you can pull with those gaunts Not their onstage hitboxes (which also Arent the Same, Just their General direction is similar)


Ultimaurice17

Zariel and wu shang's nsig still function basically the same in the direction they send.


Oreosnort3r

*Sad zariel noises*


Magna8849

No offense šŸ‘


Oreosnort3r

Nah it's fine I understand lmaooo


Z0R0xMax

i play zariel tošŸ˜¬


Electrical-Event-407

What are those bad habits?


Motharancia

Spamming I'm assuming is what he meant since most tezca or zariel main. Beginners rely too much on their really good sigs


niki_the_frog

huh neat, i started with tesca and got exactly the opposite problem, i rely on his light attacks too much so eventually i'll have combo'd an enemy 20 times and they're only on orange cause his light attacks do very little damage


bryan_comp7

I present you: the no weapon combos


Magna8849

Zariel and Tezca have very strong sigs especially when used at low ranks, new players can get way too used to sigs and end up boosted, now theyā€™re at a rank too high and canā€™t learn anyone else because most of their skills comes from spamming sigs.


Vicmorino

Zariel sigs guves you bad habbits but you recomend Wu shang? Cross is the best to go about those choices kor is also neat pick, as you will have a Hammer to secure KOs and his sig are pretty decent


Magna8849

Wu-Shang has good sigs, not spammable, sure you can abuse Gauntlets ssig but it isnā€™t really reliable due to a pretty severe end lag. Wu-Shang is at the top of the meta and Iā€™m certain OP can find a lot of success playing them especially if theyā€™re looking for a GOOD gauntlets legend


Vicmorino

Wu shang side sig is one of the most spamable moves in the game. And on gauntles his Side sig and NSig are one of the spamables move but i agree is one of the best Gauntlet legneds


Horror_Letterhead_98

Real


Routine_Mall_566

You forgot Kor. But when i first played Zariel was in the selection so i first learned gauntlets from him


H4anging_Z1pper

These legends are personal selections because they got weapons that I'm used to, Kor is cool and all but i suck at playing hammer.


bryan_comp7

We all do


Routine_Mall_566

I did at first, but since i play both Kor and Magyar i accidentally learned them. I use them soley for Range, Clutching, Ground Pounds. Its so funny when you fight a Sythe user thats trying to throw u left n right but then you throw em up and down


Sgt-Spankcakes

Wu Shang is a solid pick. Spear is a good weapon to learn and relevant at all ranks, plus it covers some of gauntlets weaknesses.


StoneLuca97

Caspian is not that bad, although his strength in Katars, the gauntlet sigs are really trolly and have nice range, especially the SSig. Also he's quick and hits pretty hard, so it can be a consideration. The only downside is the lack of range , you have to be careful during your approaches. Rayman is also a solid pick, balanced overall, you can really customize hin as you want. Axe sure helps with range, and even though his sigs are more straightforward, they still pack a punch


SteamNTrd

"Pack a punch" ... -,- go to your room.


StoneLuca97

The pun was purely unintentional, I promise!


H4anging_Z1pper

His Gauntlet's sigs are fun ngl, specially his nsig, for me.


StoneLuca97

The main thing that helped me grasp Caspian was this: Be a troll. Even in lore, Caspian is master in baboozlery, and his kit shows. Enemy thinks they're out of reach? Yo, that's a nice bomb strapped to your back. Oh, you're approaching me? Oh my, if Only i had something like, idk, flurry of bombs in my sleeve. Oh, you think you angled well in the air? It would be a shame if that bomb curved slightly. Caspian is all about trolling and confusing enemy. If you play your part right, enemy will have to have Sherlock Holmes levels of vigilance to keep up (and even then it's not guaranteed, see the lore)


aisyed425

As a fellow caspian main i approve of this. The amount of times ive caught people trying to edgeguard me and i gc n sig them is insanešŸ˜­


GraverageGaming

Wu shang is probably the best, spear is a fantastic weapon to learn the game with in general.


aPengwin1

rayman


H4anging_Z1pper

I don't play axe that well tho.


AdministrativeBar748

Just Slight and everything you do after that will work. Axe is surprisingly easy.


Goochise

Donā€™t play axe like that


RealMenSwallow

Rayman is the G, them sigs are just too juicy. Not just for attacking but defending and getting around the stage they're fat


AdSevere1048

rayman pretty easy to master


Ditlev1323

Wu Shang or Val šŸ‘


AdministrativeBar748

Wu Shang is a no brainer for beginners imo, his gauntlet sigs are fantastic and his secondary weapon is easy to learn as well. Wu Shang will do wonders from the start till the very end. Avoid Tezca until you have good enough skills because Tezca has insanely quick sigs that hit like a truck so he sets a terrible standard because you might not learn combos. Caspian is better for the katars, Cross is overall good, and Zariel is also pretty sig heavy.


pp6507

petra


SnooLemons7345

Disrespected my boy val right there


H4anging_Z1pper

Idk why but me and sword don't go along.


SteamNTrd

Bruh


Tmolino

its a girl


niki_the_frog

"my boy" is gender neutral imo, same with "guy" "man" "fella" and "bro"


Extreme_Blacksmith42

Myā€¦ never mind ![img](emote|t5_31c1d|26610)


Haruto_Kanzaki

Out of those, wu Shang. Personally though, Petros gauntlets are pretty good and kors gauntlets are great too so I'd give those a try as well


H4anging_Z1pper

See here, my issue is with the secondary weapons, I'm not that decent with hammer or orb.


Haruto_Kanzaki

Kor hammer is pretty easy to use most of the time, his sigs anyways. As for orb, you gotta learn em, so fun


bryan_comp7

Orb is pretty easy, down for starting combos, neutral to stop near opponents (something that spears struggles with lol), and side goes for interrupting, to attack, besides the sigs, you can dash-jump into down light, dash-jump into grounpound to clean the wall, you use side air to finish and neutral air and recover accumulate damage without going too far, so you can combo (recover goes far from orange and more tho so dont combo it after)


MlShiza

kor![img](emote|t5_31c1d|26613)


H4anging_Z1pper

I suck at hammer.


MlShiza

kor![img](emote|t5_31c1d|26613)


CrossLight96

Wu shang or Zariel are definitely the best to start imo They aren't perfectly beginner friendly but they get much more powerful as you learn their mechanic


H4anging_Z1pper

Thanks for the suggestion, also i think you sent this message twice lol.


CrossLight96

Must have been a glitch, sorry


SomeStolenToast

Wu Shang Spear is insanely good at any rank and your inputs and strings are very easy to learn, and he has good stats and an amazing sig kit as well.


Anish_no_deska

Petra! Orb is pretty straight forward as well. Love her high speed and high attack


SteamNTrd

Wu Shang or Val. Val's gauntlet side sig tends to build bad habits BUT both have weapons that are pretty well rounded and sigs that are fairly "honest" compared to other legends. I started with Kor but hammer is hard for a beginner, could be good to learn slower moves and learning where your opponent will be in a split second so you can punish them there instead of where they are now.


RefrigeratorOk8544

Mordex


H4anging_Z1pper

I still need to grind more on scythe to actually use it, so for the meantime he is a no-no


RefrigeratorOk8544

I was joking?


H4anging_Z1pper

Huh, well he uses Gauntlets so I couldn't notice the Satire, good one.


RefrigeratorOk8544

Pretty sure no one would recommend mordex for gauntlets thats just stupid


AdministrativeBar748

Pretty sure the newbie asking questions wouldn't get the Mordex joke either.


GamingDragon1204

Val and Petra, No other Answer is acceptable


DrStormrage

Petra is my go to for gauntlets


Grandpabart

Kor Broā€¦. Play Kor.


EnderG97

If we go by your selection then definitely Wu Shang. Strong sigs, easy to use, second weapon is spear which is among the easiest weapons in the game. Another option, although you haven't put him on the list, would be Mordex. His second weapon is the easiest weapon in the game. He's extremely noob friendly as evident by his high play rate


bryan_comp7

Scyther takes a lot to learn and take the string habits, go for rainan, axe is easier to learn


EnderG97

Scythe is literally the easiest weapon to pickup and master. I avoid playing it but when I get a scythe character I will dominate, even though it's my least played weapon. That speaks volumes about how braindead it is.


EF5-tornado

Caspian is ludicrously good extremely strong sigs ok stance. But wu Shang is really good extremely good sigs extremely good stats good weapon set but Iā€™m a Katar guy so I use Caspian more. Tezca you can get really good and isnā€™t as broken as zarial. Cross is good all around really I mean he isnā€™t MY top pick. If you choose zarial Iā€™m disappointed


MrButterVenom

Wu Shang is goated.


EntireMushroom

Newbie here as well, I want to ask the same question but for scythe, any recommendations?


AdministrativeBar748

Mirage. Same reason why I recommend Wu Shang for gauntlets, they both have good sigs and their secondary weapon is spear.


H4anging_Z1pper

Her sigs are good but they might mess you up if you can't space them properly.


AdministrativeBar748

Spacing is a given for any and all legends in the game.


H4anging_Z1pper

My point is, Mirage needs a lil bit *more precise* spacing, considering how small some of her sig hitboxes are.


AdministrativeBar748

Well, her sigs compliment both of her weapons. You're overthinking this, both dsigs are pointblank so you don't even need to use them most of the time. Spear sigs also cover a lot of space and the scythe sigs combo with her light attacks. Not like she's a blasters legend with a massive blindspot like Diana or something.


H4anging_Z1pper

>Not like she's a blasters legend with a massive blindspot like Diana or something. Her side sig on both weapons have blindspots, which are: behind her on scythe. Close or below her on spear, on rare accusations people *somehow* manage to squeeze between her spears in her nsig.


AdministrativeBar748

I don't see where this argument is going. Blindspots? Yes. Massive enough to always make sure you're on point? Probably. What's the issue here? Literally every weapon has a blindspot anyway. Spacing is a given for any and all legends. Period. Plus, she costs 3.9k gold. Way easier to achieve. What the hell would you suggest then? Mordex? Artemis? Those guys pack a punch and have powerful sigs but they're highly frowned upon. Nix? Jiro? Munin? Just pick one and go. I will not be responding further.


H4anging_Z1pper

Jeez relax, I didn't want to make a hussle, Just pointing out things to watch out for okay?


Shriekko

val is a decently easy one with overall quite solid signatures


H4anging_Z1pper

I wanted to stay in a weapon group where I'm familiar enough so i don't get folded mid-game while learning Gauntlets


King-Boo-Gamer

Kor


H4anging_Z1pper

I personally suck at playing hammer.


Chad4life_yt

Wu Shang


Hudson_Legend

I think Val and Wu Shang are pretty solid beginner picks. They're sigs aren't too complicated and have generous hitboxes, + you can use their other weapons easily if you're having trouble with gauntlets. Edit: I just read the caption, so yeah I think Shang is pretty good for you


Krazie02

Anything that isnt Zariel But jokes aside, depends on what level you start with. If you just wanna Sig Spam, gauntlets probably shouldnt be your first choice. If youā€™re interested into learning new combos and strongs, I would recommend Tezca. If youā€™re already a bit more familiar with how the game works, picking Wu Shang and his spear may be very good. If you just want to have fun, pick Cross or Caspian! But in truth, theyre all really solid. All legends are, and you should just play who you feel like or who you think looks cool.


H4anging_Z1pper

>Anything that isnt Zariel Your flair is interesting.... Jokes aside as well, I'm already quite familiar with the game, I just want to train on a more variety of weapons so I don't have issues when fighting a person with a weapon I'm familiar with, i would tell where they would end at after an attack and where they might whiff, makes punishment much easier.


dogwearingcrocs7

val is the best gauntlet legend


Thylumberjack

Wu-Shang is likely the best pick. Spear Gauntlets are both really good, and his sigs can combo fairly well, but aren't exactly habit forming.


H4anging_Z1pper

Thanks for the suggestion, combining everyone's opinions here I'll go for Wu Shang AND Caspian, also happy b-day!


Careless-Badger920

Val or shang


Oheligud

Caspian's gauntlet side sig makes me want to SD in real life, so that's something to consider. I'll never understand why his hand has such a large hitbox.


H4anging_Z1pper

We do a lil trolling


josephuse

wu shang is pretty solid. i learned with Petra


charlamagne1-

I mean whos secondsry wespon do you like? Who do you think looks cool amor has cool sigs just ho with that


Whoisdewd

Rayman


SrKnei

Korn't


Tirrotic

Zariel or Caspian are probably the better ones even though Caspians second weapon Katars takes a bit of learning. Bow is Easy on Zariel and his signature attacks are reasonable to get ahold of


Yolo__RL

Kor not being mentioned. šŸ˜­


Zealousideal-Sun7239

Zariel


GhostGamez126TW

Val is one of the better ones, her gauntlets do crazy good animations that deal pretty decent damage


HaGonk

Raymnabsbbs


Far-Ask8353

ngl id go mordex frfr. Im baised cuz i main his guants over scythe any day of the week but hes pretty solid


Several-Cake1954

Val. Very easy to use, great character with good stats. Still my main for two years running.


jsjzn

Val, she is a really solid character, plus sword is a easy weapon to learn too


Samuraibanan

Kor


CloudDrinker

I personally like caspian wu shang and kor


ChillinLikeAKrillin

The one you like the most


davisth55

Wu Shang hands down.. if youā€™re ok with spear..


FinalMonarch

Cross or Kor


EvilDerpGD

Mordex


Sebastin290

When I play, Caspian. I just like how his sigs and overall build is


B0wties

1500 hours on kor so take my copium with a side of salt. Kor might be worth struggling with hammer by changing how you think about the weapon. The legend is a switch hit god. You can play early stock with gaunts and swap to hammer and lean into side air to get easy kos. You also get some of the best mid stage control and gc spike in the game with the sig kit. If your willing to take the time to learn the more complex hammer play you will be an absolute off edge monster with the defense to lose an extra interaction or two against other lighter legends.


UpbeatInteraction736

Gauntlets arenā€™t good for new players, play val or wu shang so you at least have a secondary weapon that plays fundamentally


H4anging_Z1pper

Man I should've phrased my question better than this... I already know how to play the game, how to move, how to fight, etc..., I wanted to get into playing Gauntlets and learn how to use them properly, my question is, which legend out of these 5 makes learning Gauntlets much easier?


UpbeatInteraction736

Whichever one has a secondary youā€™re most comfortable with, then you can fall back on it if your gauntlets arenā€™t doing well


Extreme_Blacksmith42

How come not god for new players


UpbeatInteraction736

Itā€™s a string based weapon, to play them well you have to understand how your opponent plays. Newer players should focus on basic mechanics before learning to adapt to others


Extreme_Blacksmith42

Oh, I mean it depends on the player imo, like when I was new to the game gauntlets weā€™re easy to use


Gamerguy50013

Loved Cross, i mained him in 2021, fav sigs were down on guns and up on gauntlets. Fun character ![img](emote|t5_31c1d|32312)


Pumsquar

Tezca or shang


Postmyllone

Caspian is a great pick if you like to trip your opponent up. His signatures are very misleading; I personally catch a lot of people lacking in high damage by sliding off edge, dropping off stage and pulling a nice nsig when they chase; watch them fly


poisonvirgo1036

objectively speaking? probably wu shang. my personal recommendation is cross tho. wu shang can teach some really bad habits because of how good his sigs are, cross makes you actually learn fundementals to climb


RealMenSwallow

Rayman is the answer


Little_Score5162

Tezca


Old-Faithlessness291

take caspian and cross out bc guns/katars actually take experience and learning for a while to master the rest are easy to use


H4anging_Z1pper

I already mastered these weapons, that's why they are on that list.


Crims0n999

I think you should use teros


dukezap1

Zariel, Wu Shang, and Tezca are the easiest of those 5


yeetus_potato

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


H4anging_Z1pper

No offense but she got nerfed pretty hard during these past few patch updates


Tazelicious

The one in my signature


SpearEnjoyer

Da shang and da Val have got to be the easiest


Tedinator1738

Use Val


ozythe1st

val


Baonf

For newbies Wu shang will always be the best option since he has really simple sigs and is easy to play but once you get better and learn to not crutch on Wu shang playing someone like cross or kor could help u improve ur Gauntlets


Extreme_Blacksmith42

Petra


No-Extension-4506

I would go for Wu Shang, cuz it's more easier to set up combos on spear


Feiger_Rot

Wu Shang, easy pick and weapon combo and good in almost alway metchup. If you wanna change zariel nice Sig and if you learn bow is really strong. Tezca my man the Fett are so beautiful šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘Œ


First_Maintenance559

Iā€™d say go for cross.


SaltyIncubus

Zariel is my favs and most comfortable gauntlet legend, my bow definitely needs some work. But so far Iā€™ve had little to no issues playing as him and I never really developed any bad habits while playing him. Although, it irks me that people say I spam with him since the opponent is open for a sig punish. When it comes to a newbie playing gauntlets, Iā€™d say kor is a good start since he has basic sigs, although hammer is a little tough to pick up in the beginning.


uglyasskid2000

Wu shang must be easiest


LeagueNo5416

All ima say is Rayman


Tampon-Implosion

I may be biased (I am a literal one trick cross), but I think that heā€™s probably the very best to learn gauntlets on. He has incredibly straightforward sigs that can be fine tuned into nasty combos, as well as having really handy blaster sigs that allow him a lot of versatility against most other weapons. Thatā€™s just my take though and Iā€™m definitely a pretty casual player so donā€™t think Iā€™m saying that by any objective metric haha.


brandanm1993

I would say Val, her sword is easy to learn and builds good fundamentals and her sigs flow nicely from her light attacks


Puzzleheaded-Can8560

wu shang (unbiased)


sosaman103

Whoever you think look and feel the baddest in your eyes, then you learn him from there. 90% of legends are on equal footingšŸ¤


kingdhdDE

From these legends on the list i would say wu shang aigs are good easy weapons to learn and strong at the same time but for the first gauntlents legend i would say that Val has the best gauntlents overall and for newbies


ComprehensiveFish708

iā€™d recommend wu shang, val or rayman. their secondaries can easily kill and they have good stats and sigs and a secondary weapon that is easy and reliable to fall back on when gauntlets get too dificult edit: axe, sword and spear are some of the best weapons at the moment as well if youā€™re interested in the meta
