== Tips ==
* While not an especially potent weapon, the Slap Hand's extremely high knockback makes it a good choice for keeping enemies away instead of directly fighting.
* With a decent knockback modifier and a Titan Glove (or one of its upgrades) equipped, the Slap Hand can easily catapult most enemies very far away.
* It can be useful when spelunking or exploring when the player does not want to fight, due to the ease at which it can force enemies out of one's way.
* Hitting a Snow Flinx, wingless Slimer, or especially a Pinky results in massive knockback, as they have negative knockback resistance.
* Due to their nature, flying enemies (notably Corruptors) can be easily sent flying far off the screen with this weapon, causing them to despawn.
* Summoning a Blood Moon manually with a Bloody Tear will still cause the Skeleton Merchant to sell the Slap Hand.
