• -0.3 Tears
• Grants piercing tears.

Interactions

• Haemolacria

  Tears are now fired in an arc. Upon hitting the floor, an obstacle, or an enemy, they burst into many smaller tears in all directions. Increases tear delay.

• Ipecac

  Replaces tears with explosive and poisoning projectiles fired in an arc from the mouth.

  : Fires explosive scythes. Piercing effect does not apply.
• Mom's Knife

Synergies

• Cricket's Body

  Grants -1 Tear Delay and reduces Range. When tears hit an object or deplete their range, they spawn 4 smaller tears, whose Range and Damage scale with Isaac's.

  / The Parasite

  Isaac's tears split in two when they hit something.

  / Compound Fracture

  Increases range. Tears turn into bones, which shatter into 1-3 bone shards upon hitting an enemy or obstacle.

  : Scythes will split into scythe tears and retain all effects. The Parasite's split tears look like normal tears and not scythes.
• Lachryphagy

  Isaac's tears decelerate as they travel. Upon stopping or hitting an obstacle, they burst into 8 tears in all directions. Tears can be fired into other tears to feed them, increasing their damage.

  : Scythe tears will retain all Lachryphagy effects.
• Monstro's Lung

  Increases damage and grants a charged shot that fires multiple tears in the same fashion as Monstro.

  : Significantly increased tear delay. Fires a barrage of very large scythes that retain piercing effect.
