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 decent knockback modifier and a Titan Glove (or one of its upgrades) equipped, the Slap Hand can easily catapult most enemies very far away.
 * It can be useful when spelunking or exploring when you do not want to fight, due to the ease at which you can force enemies out of your way.
 * Hitting a Snow Flinx, Wingless Slimer or especially a Pinky results in massive knockback, as they have negative knockback resistance.
 * Due to their nature, flying enemies (notably Corruptors) can be easily sent flying far off the screen with this weapon, causing them to despawn.
 * Its very low damage allows the player to send Critters flying without killing them.
