Compared to the standard yao guai gauntlet, She's Embrace deals slightly higher damage per strike though still low-end to all unarmed weapons, at a higher attack speed, high-end to all unarmed weapons. It also deals higher critical hit damage, though low-to-moderate to all unarmed weapons, at a higher 3x critical chance multiplier, the second-highest of all unarmed weapons (below the 4x of Two-Step Goodbye ). It has a slightly lower AP cost and the second-highest durability of all unarmed weapons (below the industrial hand ), but also the second-highest weight of all unarmed weapons (below the Embrace of the Mantis King! ) and a low-end caps value. Like the standard variant, similar to the chainsaw and thermic lance, it can ignore an enemy's DR and DT and is also considered an improved holdout weapon. It requires the same 50 Unarmed skill level and 4 Strength attribute level to use effectively.
Visually, the weapon is identical to the standard variant.
