How Heavenwill Gauntlets Play
Gauntlets sit on the Bamboocut Kite path with Skygrasp Rope Dart. Both share Heaven's Will (four bars under your martial arts HUD). You build bars, spend them on charged finishers, then refill and repeat.
Core loop:
Open on Rope Dart: Snaring Lash for Heaven's Might (with Sky Gripped), Sky-Snare Stance for Heaven's Unity.
Swap to Gauntlets. Push Falcon's Pursuit through light chains, Special Skill, or Martial Art shortcuts.
Dump into Vile Condemned / Vile Condemned: End when bars are full and buffs are up.
Refund and re-enter the loop.
Skill roles you should treat as fixed:
Skill | Role |
|---|
Righteous Reign (6-hit light) | Falcon's Pursuit + Heaven's Will on the late hits |
Wicked Defiance | Perfect-dodge follow-up; refunds Will |
Heavenwill Declared / Celestial Mandate | Gap close + Will restore |
All Under Justice (Special) | AoE punches; snaps you to the 5th light for Falcon |
Vile Condemned / End | Main spender; End wants 3 to 4 bars and an 18s window |
Sky-Snare Stance | Pull + Heaven's Unity for faster Will gain |
Snaring Lash | Applies Heaven's Might for bonus HP damage on Falcon / Vile |
Must-run Inner Ways for the path:
Soaring High (Gauntlets): Falcon shortcuts, Vile Condemned: End, Will refunds
Sky Gripped (Rope Dart): Heaven's Might and Rope → Gauntlet handoff
Empirical Edge: Penetration stacks off martial triggers (Falcon / Vile love this)
Celestial Vigor: Perfect-dodge stacks for damage and sustain
Daily PvE often leans Empirical Edge (EW). Speedruns swap in Breaking Point (BP) when you can keep the Tier 6 proc online. Rope Dart hybrids can drop Empirical Edge or Breaking Point for Morale Chant.
How to Unlock Gauntlets Step by Step
Step 1: Open Esc → Sects (bottom of the menu) → Shop.
Step 2: Press T or click View Other Sects → Mohist Hill.
Step 3: Purchase Heavenwill Gauntlets for 100 Reputation. Grab Empirical Edge and Celestial Vigor while you are there.
Step 4: Advance the main story into Hidden Mountain · Suixiang. Finish the supply / mechanical aircraft questline so Skygrasp Rope Dart lands in your kit.
Step 5: On the map, open Journal → Campaign → Changeless Heart in Mohist City and clear it for the last Inner Way.
Step 6: Equip both weapons under Martial Arts, then dump Martial Arts Tips and breakthrough mats into Bamboocut Kite. Split trees lose more damage than they gain.
Once the martial art is learned, claim a matching weapon from an unopened legendary gear chest at your current rank if the shop purchase alone did not put a usable fist piece in your bag.

Max Phy (easier farm) | Same floors | 12 Max Phy, 5 god substats, 3 Precision | Faster to assemble; swap toward Min later |
Crit / Agility splits (Min Phy):

Tier | Stats |
|---|
T0 | Art of Fist, Damage vs Boss, All Martial Boost |
T1 | Min Phy, Agility (Max Phy / Power on the Max build) |

Best PvP Pairings and Stats
CN top-20 snapshots around 2026-07-21 put these secondaries next to Gauntlets:
Pairing | Why it shows up |
|---|
Gauntlets + Skygrasp Rope Dart | Shared Heaven's Will, pull, Unity, Might |
Gauntlets + Twinblade | Fast pressure kits on the ladder |
Gauntlets + Nameless Spear | Reach + RR / mystic burst strings |
Older CN favorites (DPS Fan, Stormbreaker Spear) still work, but they sat outside that top-20 window. Global is also missing some CN gap-closer mystic skills, so treat the ladder as a direction, not a clone.
PvP panel targets (Bauer / CN reference lines):
Path | Precision | Crit | Affinity | Feel |
|---|
Min Phy | ~99% | Mid to high | ~11-15% | ~5% stronger, painful to roll |
Max Phy | ~99% | Higher when gear allows | ~11-15% | Faster to field; upgrade later |
Priority affixes:
Boots + Bracers: Boost vs Player Units (only lands on these slots)
Gauntlets weapon: Gauntlets Martial Arts Damage Boost (beats generic All Martial Arts on value)
Helmet / Chest (Tier 96): Single-target Mystic Skill DMG Boost (covers Flame Breath, Drunken Poet, related burst mystics)

FAQ
How do you unlock Gauntlets in Where Winds Meet?
Open Sect Shop, switch to Mohist Hill with View Other Sects, and buy Heavenwill Gauntlets for 100 Reputation. Sect membership is optional. Grab the weapon piece from a current-rank legendary chest if you still need an equippable fist.
Do you need Mohist Hill to use Heavenwill Gauntlets?
Sectless accounts buy the martial art from the Mohist Hill shop tab the same way. Membership is optional.
What is the best Gauntlets build in Where Winds Meet?
For PvE, run Bamboocut Kite with Rope Dart, Soaring High + Sky Gripped, Precision 98+ / Crit 78+, and a Min Phy line when the rolls cooperate. For PvP, stack Gauntlets Martial Damage and Boost vs Players, then pick Rope Dart, Twinblade, or Nameless Spear for your ladder.
How do you get Skygrasp Rope Dart?
Push the main story into Hidden Mountain · Suixiang. The Rope Dart unlocks during that chapter's supply / aircraft quest sequence. You cannot miss it.
Is Min Phy better than Max Phy for Gauntlets?
Min Phy sits about 5% ahead when the rolls land. Max Phy is easier to assemble, so start Max and migrate to Min as upgrades drop.
Conclusion
Heavenwill Gauntlets reward a short shopping list, a committed Bamboocut Kite tree, and strict panel floors more than random weapon hopping. Unlock from Mohist Hill, pair with Rope Dart for Heaven's Will, lock Precision and Crit before chasing damage, then chase Boost vs Players and Gauntlets Martial Damage for Arena. Bookmark this Where Winds Meet Gauntlets guide for post-patch updates, and top up Echo Beads on VGTopup when you want the upgrade path without the wait.
