A bstractA class of 4d N=3$$ \mathcal{N}=3 $$ SCFTs can be obtained from gauging a discrete subgroup of the global symmetry group of N=4$$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ Super Yang-Mills theory. This discrete subgroup contains elements of both the SU(4) R-symmetry group and the SL(2, ℤ) S-duality group of N=4$$ \mathcal{N}=4 $$ SYM. We give a prescription for how to perform the discrete gauging at the level of the superconformal index and Higgs branch Hilbert series. We interpret and match the information encoded in these indices to known results for rank one N=3$$ \mathcal{N}=3 $$ theories. Our prescription is easily generalised for the Coulomb branch and the Higgs branch indices of higher rank theories, allowing us to make new predictions for these theories. Most strikingly we find that the Coulomb branches of higher rank theories are generically not-freely generated.
