Beast Knuckles

The Beast Knuckles are a Fist-class weapon introduced in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. It is currently exclusive to the Jupiter Adept Sveta. It is found in a treasure chest atop Belinsk's castle, shortly before the Grave Eclipse begins.

The Beast Knuckles increase the wielder's Attack power by 120. It also possesses two Unleashes:


 * Galactic Blow: Sveta charges up for an colossal burst of star energy. This converts her attack into Jupiter element with a 1.7 damage multiplier and it may inflict Sleep.
 * Savage Raptor: Supposedly the main Unleash of the Beast Knuckles (due to some feral reference). If mastered, Sveta starts a fierce punching combo and concludes it with a swoop kick. Converts her attack into Venus-based damage, multiplies damage by 1.5 and may inflict the target with Venom.

Analysis
The Beast Knuckles serve as an immediate upgrade to the Brass Knuckles that Sveta joins with. They will serve well until the player gets the Umbra Knuckles. While there are several stronger weapons available as forged items or rare drops, the Umbra Knuckles are required for the final dungeon, and thus are the most likely upgrade. Placing Sveta in her unique Scrapper class series will allow her to make the most of the Beast Knuckles two Unleashes, as it will increase her Venus Power and maintain her naturally strong Jupiter Power.
