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

• Knockback Potion
•  Aspect of the Dragons - Dragon Rage ability applies large Knockback to all mobs in a radius.

•  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 a type of ⬱ Knockback that ignores all anti-knockback items. It's similar to ᚏ True Damage, but applies to Knockback.

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
  • Lost Adventurer's "Dragon's Breath" Ability
  • 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

These mounts give you True Knockback Resistance while riding, but removes the Immunity Ticks (10 ticks, around 0.5s), that can cause you to die easily. Unlike ❂ True Defense, True Knockback Resistant items also apply 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.
