Eve's Mascara

Treasure Room Treasure Room   (page 3, column 5, line 4) (page 4, column 5, line 1)   Complete the Boss Rush as Eve Eve's Mascara

Eve's Mascara is an unlockable passive item.

Effects

• 2x damage multiplier.
• -0.5 shot speed.
• 0.5x tears / 2x tear delay multiplier. (The player's tear value will always be halved.)

Notes

• Even though Eve's Mascara is DPS neutral, it is considered an overall downgrade since it significantly reduces shot speed.

Synergies

• Eve's Mascara is good with any items that generate blue flies or blue spiders, since their damage is directly tied to Isaac's damage stat.
• The huge tear delay penalty can be offset by items that directly affect the tear delay calculation.
• Chocolate Milk

  Grants charged tears that deal greater damage when fully charged.

  : Player can spam tears, fire them as if they didn't have Eve's Mascara, or hold a full charge to do 8x damage. Effectively increases DPS.
• Epic Fetus

  Isaac's tears are replaced with guided missiles, like those used by the Doctor's Remote.

  : Missiles are not affected by low shot speed and do double damage.
• Mom's Knife

  Isaac's tears are replaced by a knife that pierces enemies, can travel through obstacles, and can hurt enemies while Isaac is holding it. Holding down the fire button before firing increases its range and power.

  : Doubles the knife's damage, but takes longer to charge.
• Trisagion

  Tears are replaced with piercing white blasts of light.

  : Beams turn black and do double damage. The low shot speed makes beams damage enemies more frequently.

Interactions

• Brimstone

  Tears are replaced by a laser beam that pierces through all enemies and obstacles in its path and deals high damage. Can only be fired after a short charge-up period.

  : Doubles the damage, takes longer to charge.
• Diplopia

  Duplicates all pickups and item pedestals in the room.

  : The damage and tear multipliers do not stack. The shot speed decrease does stack.
• Dr. Fetus

  Tears are replaced by bombs that benefit from bomb-enhancing effects and slide a fixed range after being fired.

  : Bombs turn black, travel a very short distance, and do increased damage.
• Ipecac

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

  : Fires giant explosive tears that land very close to Isaac. Tears take twice as long to be fired. Keeping your distance is recommended.
• Libra

  Gives 6 coins, 6 bombs, and 6 keys and balances out all attributes.

  : Decreases damage significantly and increases tears, but Libra has no effect on shot speed.
• The Ludovico Technique

  Instead of firing tears, Isaac controls one floating tear that hover over obstacles. This tear deals constant damage when held in place over an enemy.

  : Not recommended. Tear travels very slowly, making it hard to kill mobile enemies.
• Monstro's Lung

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

  : Not recommended. Charge time is very long and tear barrage travels a very short distance making it more likely to be damaged by enemies.
• Proptosis

  Tears start out massive with high damage, and then shrink down and become weaker over a short range.

  : Not recommended. Tears travel a short distance before disappearing.
