How to Use Throwing Knives and Charged Special Attacks

Beyond standard left-click swings, the weapons in Forge Artisan Tools rely on right-click charging mechanics and ranged options to handle groups of mobs and distant threats.

Ranged Fights with Throwing Knives

For quick ranged combat without relying on bows or crossbows, you can craft modular Throwing Knives at your Tinkers' Construct station:

1. Assemble the Throwing Knives in your Tool Station or Tool Forge.

2. Keep them in a single hotbar slot—unlike many modular tools, these knives are stackable.

3. Hold right-click to charge your throw. The knives have a fast charge time, allowing you to fire them rapidly in ranged fights.

4. Missed knives will stick directly into blocks and surfaces so you can track where they land.

Charging Special Attacks in Melee

Both the Circular Saw and the Magic Device feature secondary attacks triggered by holding right-click:

• Crowd Control (Circular Saw): When surrounded by multiple mobs, hold right-click to wind up the saw. Release to unleash a wide, sweeping cone strike that hits groups of enemies at once.
• Single-Target Burst (Magic Device): Hold right-click from a safe distance to charge the device, releasing two flying spectral swords that ignore the target's armor.
