Cricket's Body is a passive item.

Effects

• When Isaac's normal tears disappear (either from hitting the ground or hitting something else), they spawn 4 smaller tears.
  • Each smaller tear deals half of Isaac's normal damage.
• Tear size multiplier: 1.2x.
  • Split tears are scaled down by 0.6x from the main ones, ignoring damage based size reduction.
• -10 range.
• -20% range multiplier.

• -1 tear delay (increased rate of fire)
  • Since this directly affects tear delay instead of changing the tears stat, it allows Isaac's rate of fire to go over the normal maximum rate.
  • Tear delay decreases are more noticeable and are a greater increase to DPS when the tears stat is high.

Notes

• Any status effect-carrying tears: split tears will carry the same status effect.
• If Isaac has less than 10 range, the split tears appear but cannot cause damage before hitting the floor.
  • Cain, Lazarus, and Samson have lower starting range and are particularly susceptible.
  • Tear height creates no effect on this downside.

Synergies

• Angelic Prism: All tears split by the prism will burst into split tears.
• Bob's Rotten Head: Bob's Rotten Head splits into four smaller heads on detonation.
• Compound Fracture: When bone tears split into bone shards after hitting an obstacle or enemy, the bone shards will split into 4 smaller bone shards after hitting the ground.
• Haemolacria: All normal Haemolacria burst tears burst again into 4 split tears.
• Ipecac/ Fire Mind: Main tear splits into four explosive splash tears. The split tears can still damage Isaac. Having Host Hat or Pyromaniac is strongly recommended.
• Lachryphagy: Fed tears split into 12 tears.
• Lead Pencil/ Monstro's Lung: All tears fired will splash after landing. Increased damage potential only noticed when firing into groups, due to the random pattern of each tear when it splashes.
• The Parasite: Eight split tears instead of four.
• Tiny Planet: The split tears orbit Isaac instead of spreading.
• Tough Love: Teeth tears will split into 4 smaller teeth.
• Tractor Beam: Main tears and split tears will travel along the beam.

Interactions

• Brimstone: Overrides Cricket's Body.
  • Small red brimstone tears will fire out upon the beam hitting a wall or enemy.
  • Brimstone + Soy Milk: Brimstone tears always fire out at the end of the beam.
• Dead Onion: Significantly decreases effective range, potentially preventing the split tears from causing damage.
• Diplopia: No effect.
• Dr. Fetus: Greatly reduces range, bombs do not split.
  • The bombs fired by Dr. Fetus will split into smaller bombs, much like Scatter Bombs.
    • This synergy stacks with Scatter Bombs.
• Epic Fetus: Only tear stat change applies.
• Euthanasia: Needle tears will split into 4 small needle tears upon hitting the ground or an enemy. Split tears produced have a chance to deal triple damage but will not cause tear bursts.
• Flat Stone: Tears will usually only bounce twice, unless Isaac has high range, and spawns burst tears when they bounce.
• Hook Worm: Split tears gain a significant range increase, allowing them to potentially hit farther targets
• Kidney Stone: Drastically decreases range, potentially preventing the split tears from causing damage. The stone will not split.
• The Ludovico Technique: Overrides Cricket's Body except for stat effects which apply.
• Mom's Knife: Range of the knife is significantly decreased.
• Number One: Drastically decreases range, potentially preventing the split tears from causing damage.
• Piercing tears: Tears will only split after landing on the ground.
• Spectral tears: Tears will only split after landing on the ground.
• Technology: Overrides Cricket's Body except for stat effects, which apply normally.
  • Cricket's Body tear splitting effect applies when lasers hit something.
• Tech X: Overrides Cricket's Body except for stat effects, which apply normally.
  • Cricket's Body tear splitting effect applies when laser rings hit something.
