Contents
Description
It is a pair of gauntlets that damage and bleed the player in close range. It has good damage, good attack speed, and decent mobility.
Appearance
The Adamant Claws have 3 long, wide machete-like blades with each knuckle, reminiscent of the claws brandished by the superhero 'The Wolverine'. There seems to be some engravings on the claws, which seem to be similar to totems found in the map Aztec Temple. The blades themselves are grey and white, with razors near the gold totems. The totems appear to have a gem in them, which may be a jade stone or an emerald.
Performance
The player has each replica worn in a hand. When attacking, metalic red particles appear and the player swings the gauntlets by their turns and when fighting the player in close range, they damage them and make them bleed which means they temporarily lose health.

- The individual blades can move by themselves
- The Warriors of the Full Moon are thought to be aztec or chinese, judging by the gemstones and totems on the gloves.
