Haemolacria is an unlockable passive item added in Booster Pack #4.
Effects
- Tears are fired in an arc. Upon hitting the floor, an obstacle, or an enemy they burst into many smaller tears in all directions.
- Tears down - (Delay * 2) + 10
- Increases damage by about 31%.
- The scattered tears deal random damage that is around 50-80% of the main tear.
Notes
- Higher shot speed lowers the arc of the main shot, whereas lower speed heightens it, resulting in very minor change in effective range.
- The split tears are affected normally by shot speed.
- The tear height stat is entirely ignored for both the main shot and the split tears.
Synergies
Brimstone: Significantly increased tear delay. Isaac fires a large arcing tear that fires several Brimstone beams in random directions upon bursting.- Chocolate Milk: Completely charged tears and their burst tears are larger and deal higher damage than normal. Chocolate Milk also allows low-damage Haemolacria tears to be fired rapidly.
- Conjoined transformation: Fires 3 Haemolacria tears simultaneously.
- Compound Fracture/The Parasite: Similar to Cricket's Body, tears will split, scattering massive amounts of smaller tears across the room. Hits on walls or the floor absorb most of the extra tears.
- Cricket's Body: A single tear can scatter massive amounts of smaller tears in a wide area regardless of what it hits.
- Dead Eye: Both the main tear and the burst tears can increase the damage bonus, but missing the burst tears won't reset it.
- Dr. Fetus: Significantly increased tear delay. Isaac fires a large arcing tear reminiscent of a bomb that scatters into 3-5 bombs that explode simultaneously.
- Dr. Fetus + Sad Bombs: Bomb explodes into 4 sad bombs which then explode into burst tears. Can lag the game.
- Dr. Fetus +
- Fate's Reward: The familiar fires additional Haemolacria tears.
- The Forgotten: Several blood tears are scattered upon the bone club hitting an enemy. Also increases the size of the club, similar to Polyphemus. The throw is unaffected and does not scatter blood tears.
- Holy Light: The main tear can be a holy tear and bursts normally in addition to the light beam. Split tears have an independent chance of being holy tears.
- Ipecac: Fires a large explosive shot that releases poisonous, high-damage but non-explosive split tears on impact.
- Lachryphagy: Tears look like Hameolacria. They can be fed and will burst into 8 tears that have Haemolacria's burst effect upon hitting obstacles or enemies.
- Lead Pencil: Fires a barrage of Haemolacria tears, all of which will burst.
- Mom's Knife: Haemolacria works with minimal tear delay while Mom's Knife has to be charged.
- Does not work with Lilith, Mom's Knife overrides Haemolacria.
- My Reflection: Removes the arcing behavior of the tears, massively increasing airtime of both the main tear and the scattered ones.
- Pop!: The large tear floats in the air before exploding, and the smaller burst tears can be knocked around.
- Proptosis: Large tear and burst tears do roughly double normal damage.
- Tech X: The tears burst into 3-5 Tech X rings on impact.
- Technology: Fires arcing tears that release Technology lasers upon bursting.
Interactions
- Angelic Prism: The main tear splits if it hits the prism. Burst tears will only split if the main tear did not split.
- Anti-Gravity: If a fire button is held down when a Haemolacria tear bursts, the burst tears will hover in place before being fired outwards.
- Apple! / Euthanasia / Tough Love: The visual effects on tears don't work, but the damage bonuses do.
- Azazel: Haemolacria overrides Azazel's Brimstone.
- Death's Touch: Tears pierce enemies instead of bursting on contact. The visual effect is not maintained.
- Epic Fetus: Overrides Haemolacria, with increased damage and tear delay.
- Flat Stone: At base range, the main tear bounces once, releasing burst tears which do not bounce, then bursts normally. At high range, the main tear can bounce multiple times.
- Godhead: The main tear has the damaging aura but burst tears do not.
- Godhead + The Forgotten: The blood tears from the bone club have the damaging aura.
- Kidney Stone: Overridden by Haemolacria. Only stat changes apply.
- The Ludovico Technique: Overridden by Haemolacria.
- Polyphemus: The large tear will shrink if an enemy dies on hit, reducing the damage of the burst tears.
- Rubber Cement: Tears will burst only when they hit the floor, not on walls or enemies.
- Sinus Infection: If the main tear is a booger, it will get stuck and not burst on hitting an enemy, dealing its heightened damage. Split tears have an independent chance of being booger tears.
- Tractor Beam: The main tear follows the beam, but the burst spreads normally.
