This item can be used simultaneously with the Shark Tooth Necklace to ignore 10 defense, rather than 5, and even further with the Sharpening Station, increasing the total armor penetration to 22 on melee weapons. This bonus will also apply to weapons with armor penetration, such as the Blade Staff or the Crystal Vile Shard.

  - This damage is multiplied by 1.5× in Expert Mode, and 2× in Master Mode.
