Talk:Breath of Life

Might just be me, but breath of life doesn't seem to do much of anything. I did some testing when I found it earlier. It doesn't block contact damage, explosions, or lasers at all. It would seem to block some tears against normal enemies, but sometimes the tears would just hit me. I thought that maybe you have to hold the space bar for a moment before the effect would become active, but even with half of the charge gone some tears from basic enemies still dealt damage (In this case I was testing it against a pooter). Against boss enemies (tested against Monstro and Pin), the tears would always hit me regardless of any method I tried. I thought that maybe the effect just activates after holding the spacebar down until you take damage, and then it lasts the rest of the room, but that wasn't the case either.

So my conclusion is that either the item is bugged or it simply gives you a chance to block tears while holding the space bar down. Either way, I don't think this item is worth taking.
