You can make Loader move faster while using Knuckleboom by pressing the sprint key between the attacks. Like Artificer's Charged Nano-Bomb, Loader can sprint while charging up Charged Gauntlet by toggling sprint after beginning the charge. The swinging radius can extend infinitely, being limited only by the boundaries of the map. When attached to something with Grapple Fist or Spiked Fist, repeatedly toggling sprint can both rapidly increase Loader's movement speed and/or swinging radius (distance between Loader and what she's attached to). This is most likely an unintended side effect of the item, but for now it should be avoided as this character. For some reason, activating Blast Shower will cancel Charged Gauntlet's charge-up animation and put it on cooldown. Release Charged Gauntlet at the apex of Grapple Fist's trajectory (when you start going upwards) to maintain maximum momentum when trying to go far. On top of dealing massive amounts of damage, it can also allow you to cover great distances very quickly. Use this to gain damage when using Charged Gauntlet, as its damage is increased by the Loader's movement speed. You can charge up and release Charged Gauntlet while you're attached to something by Grapple Fist or Spiked Fist.
Grapple Fist & Spiked Fist only go on cooldown if the attack connects with an enemy or terrain if not, it reels back in and is immediately ready for re-use. Knuckleboom briefly stuns and knocks back lighter enemies such as Lemurians, Beetles, Imps, and Hermit Crabs. In combination with her Charged Gauntlet, items such as Ukulele and Kjaro's Band substantially increase her damage output. Items that increase your damage or attack speed are invaluable on Loader, especially on-hit items which deal bonus total damage. Spawning more than three will have the oldest active pylon be removed when the new one spawns.
Brainstalks, Bandolier, or stacking Alien Head) is possible but there is an internal cap of three that can be active at any time. Spawning multiple pylons through the use of other items (e.g.
Throw a floating pylon that zaps up to 6 nearby enemies for 100% damage.
