Special effect

While in Berserk you take double damage but deal +40% damage.

  • Class: Gauntlet.
  • Class mechanic: Gauntlets throw five rapid punches and an uppercut finisher. Every hit fills the Berserk meter; the Special slams both gauntlets together, and Berserk raises damage and attack speed.
  • Added: Early Access.

How to get

Hidden treasure in The Gallery's Exhibition Wing (the staircase after the miniboss).

Upgrading a weapon raises the number in its effect text. Each tier costs gold plus a growing count of the weapon's material, and the Legendary tier exists even though its full cost is not published.

Best use

A high-risk, high-reward gauntlet for confident players. The +40% damage only pays off if you can avoid hits while taking double damage.
