To play Mythic Gauntlets and Infernal Twinblades in PvP, use Infernal Twinblades to open pressure and spend energy, rotate into Gauntlets for light-attack strings and Free Morph pressure, then support the build with Etherwrath Set on the left gear slots and Calmwaters Set on the right slots.
This is a close-range PvP pressure build, so the value comes from clean execution more than broad theory. Your main rhythm is to start fast with Twinblades, cancel recovery with parries, switch weapons without losing tempo, and let Gauntlets keep the target pinned through repeated light-attack strings.

Gauntlets and Twinblades Combo game plan
The build wants you in the opponent’s face, forcing reactions with Twinblades openers and then converting into Gauntlets follow-ups. The important pieces are Martial Art Skill repeats, Dual Weapon Skill, parry cancel timing, weapon switching, Free Morph, and the R burst window.
Think of Twinblades as the pressure starter and energy spender, while Gauntlets carry the longer hit-confirm structure. The route order matters because several strings only work cleanly if the parry cancel happens right after the repeated Martial Art Skill.
Mythic Gauntlets and Twinblades combo routes
| Combo | Core route |
|---|---|
| Twinblades Combo 1 | Twinblades opener into Dragon’s Breath, Heavy/Drunken Poet loops, and Special Skill. |
| Twinblades Combo 2 | Twinblades opener into Heavy attacks, Special Skill, four Heavy attacks, and Free Morph. |
| Twinblades Combo 3 | Twinblades opener into Special Skill, Soaring Spin, Heavy attacks, and Free Morph. |
| Gauntlets Combo 1 | Gauntlets opener into weapon switch, two four-light strings, Free Morph, and R activation. |
| Gauntlets Combo 2 | Gauntlets opener into Special Skill, Soaring Spin, Dual Weapon Skill, lights, and Free Morph. |
| Gauntlets Combo 3 | Gauntlets opener into weapon switch, repeated light strings, Martial Art Skill, and Free Morph. |

Use the table as your drill list before committing the full inputs to muscle memory. Start with the route that matches your opener, then move to the full-energy route only when Twinblades energy is already ready.

PvP gear sets and slot picks
| Slot | Pick |
|---|---|
| Four left slots | Etherwrath Set |
| Four right slots | Calmwaters Set |
| Disc | Tenacity for Gauntlets special skill |
| Pendant | Vulnerability on Twinblades light attacks |
The gear setup is side-specific, so keep the four left slots and four right slots grouped as a set instead of mixing pieces loosely. The Disc and Pendant choices should support the exact buttons this build uses most often.
Inner Ways setup for Gauntlets
Keep Inner Ways aligned with the Gauntlets side of the build. The setup belongs with the same close-range plan as the combo routes: repeat Martial Art Skill, convert into light strings, and keep enough structure for Free Morph pressure.
The exact node-by-node layout depends on the final build screen, so copy that layout visually rather than filling in guessed node names. Avoid swapping in unrelated Inner Ways just because they sound useful for melee; this build is built around the shown Gauntlets configuration.
Access notes for Gauntlets
Gauntlets were added later on CN servers, and there is no reliable evidence that they were added through a Version 2.0 Hidden Mountains update. If you cannot access the Gauntlets setup yet, check your current server/client availability before planning resources around this weapon and its related Inner Ways.
Distinct Twinblades acquisition details are still unclear, so avoid spending resources around an assumed shop route or stat line. For this build, focus on the Twinblades actions used in the PvP routes and keep your progression effort centered on unlocking Gauntlets and their support pieces only if they are available on your server.
PvP practice priorities
Practice the parry cancel immediately after repeated Martial Art Skill inputs, because that timing is what keeps the strings from feeling stuck. Once that is stable, add the scroll weapon switch and make sure the next Martial Art Skill comes out cleanly.
KEY!The biggest dropped-combo point is the four Light attack Gauntlets section. Drill those strings until you can finish the fourth hit without rushing into Free Morph, then save the full-energy Twinblades route for burst windows instead of forcing it from neutral.
Test the routes in Arena or Training Terrace Preliminary before taking them into ranked PvP. You want the cancels, scroll switch, and R activation to feel automatic before opponents start interrupting your timing.
Drill the parry cancel right after your second Martial Art Skill, then add the weapon switch only after that cancel lands consistently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Gauntlets and Twinblades beginner-friendly for PvP?
It is better for players who already feel comfortable with cancels and weapon swaps. A newer PvP player can still learn it, but the first goal should be landing the shorter Twinblades routes before trying the longer Gauntlets chains.
When should I start with Twinblades instead of Gauntlets?
Start with Twinblades when you want faster opener pressure or when you are preparing to spend built-up energy. Start with Gauntlets when you are already close enough to commit to light-attack strings.
What does parry cancel do in these combos?
Parry cancel cuts the recovery after repeated skill inputs so the next attack or weapon switch can connect without the route falling apart. In this build, most important cancels happen right after two Martial Art Skill uses.
Which gear sets does this build use?
Use the gear table above as the loadout checklist and keep the left-side and right-side placements intact. After that, tune the accessory picks around Gauntlets special-skill Tenacity and Twinblades light-attack Vulnerability.
What should I do if I cannot access Gauntlets yet?
Gauntlets were added later on CN servers, and there is no reliable evidence that they were added through Version 2.0 Hidden Mountains. If they are missing for you, check your current server/client availability before investing resources into this build path.
