The KO Cannon attacking Target Dummies. Note how it is possible to hit multiple enemies at once.

The KO Cannon is a Hardmode flail that has a 1/5 (20%) chance of being dropped by Clowns. When used, it fires a boxing glove attached to the player via a chain. The glove retracts on contact with blocks or enemies, or after traveling 12 tiles.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.

Notes

  • The KO Cannon has no cooldown period; therefore its fire rate is dependent only on the distance to its impact.
  • In Don't dig up and Get fixed boi worlds, the KO Cannon receives the following changes:
    • Switched place with the Chain Knife. As a result, it is dropped by Cave Bats instead of Clowns.
    • Damage decreased from 40 to 18.
    • Use time decreased from 28 to 25.
    • Knockback decreased from 6.5 to 5.

Tips

  • Although generally not able to strike multiple targets simultaneously, its rate of fire increases significantly when at closer ranges. Therefore, the player will find fending off hordes of enemies easier once they begin to close in due to its high knockback.

Trivia

  • The Golem Fist can be considered its upgrade.
  • If aimed to the left, the "KO" on its side will be mirrored.
  • KO is an abbreviation of knockout, a term originally used in boxing.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Changed to drop exclusively from Clowns with a 1/5 (20%) chance. Previously, it had a 1/1000 (0.1%) chance to be dropped by any enemy capable of dropping at least 1 CC during a Hardmode Blood Moon.[1]
    • Now makes a custom sound effect.
  • Desktop 1.3.0.1:
    • Damage increased from 35 to 40.
    • Fixed a bug where the KO Cannon could drop from statue-spawned enemies.
