Knockback

⬱ Knockback is a game mechanic that pushes a player or mob away when they are hit.

Increasing Knockback

• Knockback enchantment (applied to Swords)
• Punch enchantment (applied to Bows)
• Knockback Potion
•  Aspect of the Dragons - Dragon Rage ability applies large Knockback to all mobs in a radius.

Knockback Resistance

•  Slime Hat - provides immunity to Knockback from mobs.
•  Dwarf Turtle Shelmet (Pet Item) - provides immunity to Knockback.
•  LEGENDARY Turtle Pet - Unflippable ability provides immunity to Knockback.
• Rotten Armor - Full Set Bonus: Sieve Body Gain additional 20% Knockback resistance to arrows.
• Tank - Class Passive: Defensive Stance Grants immunity to Knockback from mobs.

True Knockback

⬱ True Knockback is an unofficial term for a type of ⬱ Knockback that ignores most or all anti-knockback items. Most of these are bugs and have been fixed since then.

Former sources

• Non-Dungeon bosses:
  • Ender Dragon's Fireball attacks
  • Revenant Horror and Sven Packmaster's anti-cheese attacks
  • Emerald Slimes
  • Bal's launch attack
• Dungeon bosses:
  • Bonzo's Balloon barrage, as well as the attack in his Blood miniboss version
  • Necron's wither skull attack ignores all Knockback resistance
  • The Undead Warrior summoned by Scarf when it hits a Player with Warrior's Charge
  • The Professor's Guardians' attack in which it slams itself against the ground, pushing the player back in a force similar to the Revenant Horror and Sven Packmaster's anti-cheese attacks
• Dungeon mobs:
  • Some of Thorn's minions deal true Knockback
  • Withermancer's homing skull deals heavy true Knockback upon implosion
• Defend Jerry's Workshop Magma Cubes' attacks

NOTE: Some mobs that attack extremely fast, such as Terracottas, are strong enough to cause lag and bypass Anti-Knockback. Turtle Shelmet will NOT prevent this sort of knockback.

True Knockback Resistance

Mounts gave you True Knockback Resistance while riding, but removed the invulnerability ticks (10 ticks, around 0.5s), which could cause you to die easily. Unlike ❂ True Defense, True Knockback Resistant items also applied for regular Knockback sources.

•  Rock Pet - Knockback immunity while riding.
•  Horse Pet - Knockback immunity while riding.
•  Skeleton Horse Pet - Knockback immunity while riding.
•  Armadillo Pet - Knockback immunity while riding. ^[Confirm]
•  Rat Pet - Knockback immunity while morphed. ^[Confirm]

Tips

• The Knockback Enchantment is generally undesired as pushing enemies away often increases the time to kill them. In most cases, the default Knockback applied by weapons is considered sufficient.
  • Players may want to put Knockback II on a secondary weapon, such as an  Aspect of the End, for cases where they want to knock away mobs.

Trivia

• The swords in the Dojo's Test of Control come pre-enchanted with Knockback III, a normally unobtainable level.
