Enhanced Ursine Gauntlets

Enhanced Ursine Gauntlets are the upgraded hand armor of the Bear School gear, the second of the base game’s four levels (basic, enhanced, superior and mastercrafted). They are heavy armor built for a tanky build that takes hits and fights back, and their headline bonus is +6% Adrenaline Point gain.

The next step is the superior version, which needs these as a component, and the line ends with the Grandmaster Ursine Gauntlets in Blood and Wine. Compared with the basic Ursine Gauntlets the armor rating goes from 45 to 55. The rest of the enhanced set: armor, trousers, boots.
