Notes

  • All glove accessories' stats stack with each other, except melee size and melee knockback.
  • Whips benefit from the Fire Gauntlet's autoswing and speed increase, but not from any other effect.

Tips

  • Crafting the Fire Gauntlet from the Mechanical Glove does not reduce any of its stat boosts, making it strictly an upgraded version of the latter.
  • The Fire Gauntlet can be worn alongside the Mechanical Glove with the effects of both stacking, greatly boosting damage and melee speed. This is useful for the few Hardmode weapons significantly affected by melee speed such as the Psycho Knife or Fetid Baghnakhs.
