Compound Fracture

Compound Fracture is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.
Effects[edit | edit source]
- Tears turn into bones, which shatter into 1-3 shards upon hitting an obstacle or enemy.
- Shards deal 50% of Isaac's normal tear damage.
- Unlike
The Parasite, there is no damage minimum on splitting, but the tears can also split only once.
- The shards have a fixed size about the same as a 3.5 damage tear, regardless of their damage.
- +1.5 range.
- +1.0 tear height.
Synergies[edit | edit source]
Bob's Rotten Head: The bomb will break into 1-3 more bombs which are launched in random directions from the point of impact.
Cricket's Body/
The Parasite: Each tear splits into more tears, which will all shatter.
Haemolacria: Tears will sometimes burst into smaller tears when hitting obstacles or enemies. These smaller tears are miniature versions of Haemolacria tears, which will burst when hitting the ground.
Ipecac: If the bone tear hits a wall or an obstacle, it will split into explosive half-damage shards. Hits on enemies and the floor behave as normal Ipecac.
The Ludovico Technique: Tear turns into a spinning bone that rapidly spews out smaller bone shots on contact with enemies.
- Spectral tears: Bones pass through obstacles and generate shards for each obstacle they pass through, which can result in many shards being generated from a single bone.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
