BFFS! is a passive item.

Effects

  • Visually increases the size of all familiars by 25%, and improves the effectiveness of most of them.
    • Doubles the damage of Familiars that deal damage through tears and contact damage.
      • Only affects familiars that deal a set amount of damage. Has no effect on most familiars that scale with Isaac's damage.
      • Has no effect on Creep generated by familiars.
    • For pickup-generating familiars, increases the frequency that they drop pickups.
    • Other familiars can be affected in subtle ways.

Notes

  • The size change is only cosmetic: familiars' hitbox for blocking damage or attacking is not affected.
  • Familiars summoned by a trinket or by Collectible Monster Manual iconMonster Manual are also affected by BFFS!.
  • The Blue Flies and Blue Spiders benefit from Collectible Hive Mind iconHive Mind instead.
  • Does not increase the frequency or effectiveness of Status Effects applied by familiars.
