Slap Hand

The Slap Hand is a Hardmode melee weapon that is notable for having an extremely high knockback- a rating of 20, the highest value among all player-caused sources of knockback and almost twice the item with the second highest value. Aside from this, it is an ordinary Broadsword.

It is sold by the Skeleton Merchant when a Blood Moon occurs in a Hardmode world.

Tips

 * While not an especially potent weapon, the Slap Hand's extremely high knockback makes it a good choice for keeping enemies away instead of directly fighting.
 * With a knockback modifier and a Titan Glove or upgrade equipped, the Slap hand can easily catapult most enemies across the entire screen.
 * It can be useful when spelunking or exploring when you would otherwise not want to fight, due to the ease at which you can force enemies out of your way.
