Treasure Room

(page 3, column 14, row 2)(page 3, column 4, row 8)

Big Fan is a passive Item.

Effects

• Spawns a large orbital familiar that blocks enemy projectiles and deals 2 damage per tick (30 damage per second) on contact.

Notes

• The Big Fan is the largest of the orbital familiars, but also deals the least damage.
• The Big Fan has lower rotational speed than other familiars (similar to Blue Flies).
• The Big Fan orbits independently rather than occupying one of the three defense orbital slots.

Interactions

• Orbital familiars: If Big Fan is the first orbital obtained, subsequent familiars will match its low speed. This excludes Pretty Flies.
  • If Guardian AngelSpawns an orbital familiar that blocks enemy projectiles, deals contact damage to enemies, and increases the speed of all orbital familiars. is obtained after Big Fan, Big Fan's rotational speed will be increased.

Synergies

• BFFS!Increases the size and damage of familiars.: Big Fan becomes bigger, blocking more projectiles and dealing more damage.

Trivia

• Big Fan looks like a mixture of a Boom Fly and Gluttony.
