[[File:Punch-Mugshot.png|frame|Punch, The Variant Smith]]

==Description==
Punch is a twitchy [[Gremlin]] Variant Smith in the [[Bazaar]] district of Haven.

Punch provides a special service to knights, allowing them to acquire [[Unique Variant|Unique Variants]] on items in exchange for [[crowns]] or Unique Variant tickets acquired from [[Prize_Box#Prize_Boxes|Forge Prize Boxes]].

==Services==

[[File:Variant Forge.PNG|frame|A Barbarous Thorn Blade that already has two Unique Variants is about to be transmuted with the first variant, Charge Time Reduction: Low, locked.]]

Punch allows knights to purchase "variant tickets" to apply unique variants to armor and weapons. The number of variants is guaranteed, unlike the random chance from crafting.

If the item being transmuted already has unique variants, the knight has the option to lock any of them. This will prevent them from being removed, as any variants that are not locked will be removed. Variants cannot be locked if the 1-variant ticket is chosen, only 1 variant can be locked if a 2-variant ticket is chosen, and 2 variants can be locked if a 3-variant ticket is chosen. Additionally, if an item already has a variant of a certain type that is locked, variant tickets will not generate another variant of that type(i.e., if a ''Charge Time Reduction: Low'' is locked, the item cannot receive another ''Charge Time Reduction'' of any strength).

==Notes==
Punch and [[Vise]] arrived along with the following disclaimer from Nick Popovich: "Punch and Vise wanted me to state for the record that they did not 'blow up' Vatel's recipe shop, but rather that it 'exploded while they were inside it.'"

This character can also be found in [[Punch & Vise's Workshop]], which is a room that can be installed in [[Guild Hall]]s.

Unlike [[Armor]] and [[Helmets]], Punch will only add one of four UVs to a [[Shield]]: increased Normal defense, increased Elemental defense, increased Shadow defense, or increased Piercing defense. The only way for a Shield to get other UVs is by crafting.
