Notes

• A max rank Kusogaki Shackles will completely negate this item's Crit penalty.
• Stacks additively with Face Mask, giving a 1.7x multiplier at max level.

Tips

• Most useful on characters with low starting Critical Hit chance such as Ninomae Ina'nis and Tsukumo Sana, who can benefit from the increase in attack damage without any significant drawback.
• This item can be used to some effect on Hakos Baelz, despite the loss in Critical Hit chance. Her higher base Critical Hit chance, paired with her RatNG skill, should offset any downsides.

Trivia

• The sleeves design and the gorilla hand directly reference Amane Kanata and her 50kg(≈ 110.2 lbs.) grip strength who have been compared to a gorilla by people around her including her fans and other Hololive members. For comparison the grip strength of an average American woman is 44 lbs. (≈ 20kg) and for an American man is 72.6 lbs. (≈ 30kg).
  • Despite the meme, her 50kg grip only applies to her right hand. According to her latest measurement, her right grip has reached 52kg in strength while her left hand is currently "only" 47.8kg.
  • Her grip strength has always been strong since she was younger, reaching 35kg by middle school.
  • Shirogane Noel is another member also known for having strong grip strength and was also called Gorilla during primary school although the nickname isn't associated with her nowadays.
