Common Attack

Everything is Crab Antlers Evolution Guide

A high physical hit that can damage you too.

Version notes

What does the 1.2 self-damage cap actually limit?

Version 1.2 capped Antlers’ self-damage at 90% of the player’s Max HP. Official 1.2 notes

The cap uses Max HP, not remaining health. It is not a reason to assume an attack is safe when already injured, and it does not remove the self-damage.

Practical use

What should I consider before using Antlers as my main attack?

Account for the self-damage before comparing its hit with other Physical attacks. Avoid making it the main attack in a no-damage-taken attempt; in other runs, budget recovery between exchanges.
