The Infectious Gauntlet in use.

The Infectious Gauntlet is a post-Moon Lord melee weapon dropped by Patient Zero. Using the weapon will charge it for 0.83 seconds before launcing the player in the direction of their cursor. Holding the attack button will delay the dash until the button is released. The dash can pass through enemies, granting immunity to contact damage, and inflicts the Stunned! debuff on enemies without knockback immunity. Successfully hitting an enemy with the dash will end it shortly after and grant 40 frames of full invulnerability. A flurry of Infectious Fists will form in a circle around the first hit enemy, each dealing 75% of base damage.

Its best modifier is Godly.
