Cricket's Body

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.
- +0.1 tear size.
- 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.

+0.5 fire rate.

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
