Notes

  • Despite the tooltip implying that the accessory boosts knockback of minions only, it also affects sentries and whips(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

Trivia

  • The Hercules beetle is a real-life insect. It is the largest species of rhinoceros beetle and also one of the overall largest beetles in the world.
  • As the item grants 15% increased summon damage and increased summon knockback, it can be considered an upgrade to the Summoner Emblem.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4: Tooltips of summon-related items now say "summon damage" instead of "minion damage".
