Notes

  • It increases melee damage only, despite being crafted from the Avenger Emblem, which increases all damage.
  • The Mechanical Glove increases the speed of whips but not their knockback or damage. This is possibly because whips are used like melee weapons but deal summon damage.
  • The Mechanical Glove's melee damage and speed boosts stack with other such bonuses.

Tips

  • The Mechanical Glove may be worse than the Warrior Emblem for melee weapons that do not benefit from speed boosts, as its 12% damage boost is lower than the emblem's 15%. However, the glove still boosts knockback.

History

  • Desktop 1.2.4: Now only yields melee knockback instead of all types.
  • Desktop 1.2.3: Now only increases melee damage (previously also ranged and magic). Tooltip correctly listing 12% instead of 10%.
