Should these knights be forced or sent into close combat, they can easily take down most of their adversaries unless grievously outnumbered by opponents using high damage weapons or simply a larger number of hardy or just plain faster soldiers like huscarls, dervishes, highlanders, or legionnaires, though even these vicious faction elites will likely lose at least a few of their comrades to the gauntlet's mace or hammer in the process. While they may not fire volleys as quickly as archers, they hit their target more accurately and unlike their typically more numerous ranged allies, they rely far more on marksmanship to take down their targets instead of massed volley fire.

Wielding siege crossbows with unmatched accuracy, they can easily take down foes at a distance that many longbowmen have difficulty trying to even hit and thanks to these heavy-duty crossbows their bolts (both Mettenheim Bolts and Siege Bolts) can hit harder than most bows do this allows these knights to take down or cripple foes at a greater distance than many bowmen and just about anyone else with a crossbow to their name. While they may lack the steeds most other Orders use heavily, they are not to be underestimated. The Order of the Ebony Gauntlet is extremely anti- Noldor, with it following that they are at odds with the Order of the Silvermist Rangers as well. Their tenacity and might in combat surpasses even the strongest Fierdsvain infantry. They always fight unmounted, using crossbows before engaging with heavy weapons. The Order of the Ebony Gauntlet is not quite like many of the other Knighthood Orders.
