Introduction

Sword Prodigy. Before the girl even knew what the world really is, the title was already engraved in her life. A long search for a mentor, training by the shoal, unpredictable changes in the world, uncertainties all around.

In this furnace we know as the "world", the girl met and left many. Only the determination in her heart and weapon in her hand are her most loyal companions, watching over her for a lifetime

HI3 v6.0 Introduces the new weapon Nocturnal Stealth. This is a gauntlet type weapon which provides ice damage bonuses to the wielder and the team. This weapon is designed for the latest valkyrie joining us in v6.1 that is Jade Knight (will be referred to as JK in the article). In further section I would like to provide more details and insights into this weapon, its use cases, stats and other details.

Weapon Comparison

In this section I'll go over other weapons that can be used on JK and how they compare to Nocturnal Stealth (Pri arm weapons are excluded from the list and comparison is done with lvl 50 weapons in game)

The above image shows all the weapons that I will be using to test the damage output of the weapon in dps test stage of Beta.

For sake of equalizing stigmata stats, all the sets that are used in test runs have the same affix values with same support gear. Rotation is as shown in the video below. Values have been averaged over multiple runs and captains should take these values as estimation.

Actual values may differ based on rotation and boss mechanics.

Results

Comparison table

Note : DPS Tests do not show the SP difference and mechanic difference that arises as a result of it

- Nocturnal Stealth still has highest SP regen and other gauntlets apart from Nebulous cannot even try to keep rotations

- Non Nocturnal stealth rotations are bad because players cannot queue JK combo for SP, which significantly increases rotation time

An example of other gauntlets, the combo has lots of sp regen for JK, Hence important.

Hope this data provides captain with a better understanding of the weapon, other alternatives etc

Authors Impressions

Based on the data provided above Nocturnal Stealth is good on JK . It is recommended captains try to get the weapon which is optimal for JK. Captains experience will not be the same without this weapon because of the issues mentioned above and overall JK experience will be quite bad

When captains are in exalted tier (lvl 81+) The pri arm of this version can be forged, which is optimal for JK
