Ratings - Yooyu Knuckle Duster
Rating:

This weapon will only be rated for Regular 1P/2P use, since it doesn't have any niche or league use.

Price (2/3): Magic Gridlock Gun, Tyrannian Sceptre, Yooyu Knuckle Duster, and Turned Tooth are the staple for relatively cheap constant attackers and their prices are usually good and affortable for someone that's been saving up for a week or so. You should always choose whichever's cheapest at the moment. If you're just starting and need a strong weapon you should only buy this or the weapons above if they're at an acceptable price range (Around 100-200k). Otherwise it's better to get The Power of Friendship for a stable and cheap 13 iconer instead.

Power (5/5): 14 or so icons is the bare minimum nowadays for a GOOD weapon. for 1p icon types don't matter much so as long as you get enough icons you'll be able to do intermediate level battling just fine. 2p is a completely different story but most people don't focus on that, and if you're doing 2p you're usually doing either high level battling where these weapons won't be enough, or one of the respective leagues that have their own restrictions.

Uniqueness (1/2): The list of 14 iconers and similar is rather small, so these will always be sought after, at least until icon inflation makes the bare minimum higher.

Overall It's a staple by now. Every battler that does 1p at a decent enough level will most likely have this weapon or one of its alternatives. If you wanna buy them, make sure to check the other options and get the cheapest one, since they all do the same basically. Because of that its final rating is 8/10.

Price/Power (5/5)
Really cheap for the icons- really there is little more to say. Yet another item which helps push icon inflation to insane levels.

Countermeasures (2/5)
This item is fairly easy to cut down to size, be it with the cheap physical blocking Altadorian Swordbreaker or a commonly used hidden tower item like the Hubrid Nox Memorial Shield. Either way this item is far from perfect- at least in PVP

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
This is basically an alternate/slight downgrade to the Stone Foam Finger- however due to the price this item comes out on top.

Other Points (1 Bonus)
A combination of being a plot prize and the insane price made me give this an extra bonus point to make up for the less then stellar defense.

Final Thoughts
Honestly given the tiny point requirement for this item I am surprised it is as decent as it is. Shame it isn't a better combination of icons, but honestly it almost had to be given that it is very good value for money.
