Melee weapon amplification and automated swing kinetics
Constructed at a Tinkerer's Workshop by combining a Power Glove with an Avenger Emblem. The glove provides a 12% boost to melee damage and a 12% increase to melee attack speed. It also increases melee knockback, expands the physical scale of melee weapons, and enables autoswing on all melee implements and whips. This transforms timing-dependent blades into continuous sweeps across chaotic battlefields.
Hardmode warrior loadouts and gauntlet progression
The Mechanical Glove upgrades into the Fire Gauntlet when combined with a Magma Stone. Because the Fire Gauntlet and Mechanical Glove stack their stat bonuses, wearing both accessories simultaneously grants extraordinary melee damage, weapon reach, and swing speed for endgame swords and flails. It is a valuable component for melee progression against Plantera and Golem during critical stages of Hardmode. Reforging to Violent maximizes swing rate, while Menacing optimizes raw striking power on direct hits.
Trivia
- The weapon scale increase enlarges sword hitboxes, making it easier to deflect hostile projectiles and flying pests.
- It enables autoswing for summoner whips, facilitating rapid whip-stacking rotations during boss encounters.
