Trusted Spanner overview
Trusted Spanner is the simple Raw Damage baseline. It raises that stat by 15% with no full-health requirement, Perfect Dodge, summon, enemy type, or stated penalty.
What does Raw Damage mean?
Increases Dylan's Raw Damage output by 15%.
Raw Damage is the specific damage stat this Artifact modifies. Current production data does not justify rewriting it as a blanket +15% to every damage source, melee damage, Combat Ability damage, Primary damage, or Secondary damage.
The page does not claim that final damage rises by exactly 15%. Form modifiers, critical hits, enemy defense, status, Dominance, and other Artifacts still sit in a formula that is not closed here.
Is Trusted Spanner good?
Use it when you want a stable offensive boost and do not want to build around a condition. It is a strong general baseline, not the best damage Artifact in every build.

Best builds for Trusted Spanner
It fits a loadout that wants reliable offense without full Health, Perfect Dodge, a summon, or an enemy-type requirement. Keep the specialist Artifacts when the build is specifically Blunt, Sharp, Primary form, or Secondary form.
Trusted Spanner vs other damage Artifacts
A higher percentage is not automatically better. These Artifacts modify different damage dimensions, and some add a penalty.
Whetstone
Whetstone is +20% melee and Combat Ability damage, with a −20% Falter penalty. Trusted Spanner is +15% Raw Damage, with no stated penalty. Do not treat 20 as better than 15.
| Field | Trusted Spanner | Whetstone |
|---|---|---|
| Modifier | +15% | +20% |
| Damage type | Raw | Melee + Combat Ability |
| Falter penalty | None stated | −20% |
| Condition | None stated | None stated |
Damage dimensions
Raw, Blunt, Sharp, Primary form, and Secondary form are separate modifiers. They are not one exclusive damage type, and this page does not say how they stack.
