Explosivo is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.
Effects
- Isaac's tears have a chance to stick to enemies and explode a few seconds afterward, dealing 60 damage plus Isaac's tear damage.
Notes
- Tears that stick to enemies do not deal any damage until they explode.
- Explosivo shots deal regular tear damage upon sticking to an enemy.
- If an enemy dies or teleports with an Explosivo tear attached, the tear detaches and drops to the ground. If the detached tears touch an enemy, they will stick to that enemy and explode.
- However, when an Explosivo tear is attached to Loki or Lokii, the tear teleports with the respective boss when the boss teleports.
- Be careful with large-sized tears: as Explosivo causes them to grow even larger, they can completely obscure enemies and their surroundings.
- Explosivo is not affected by luck.
Synergies
- Cricket's Body: The explosion results in split Explosivo shots being generated. If the target survives, they're likely to immediately stick again.
- Godhead: The tear keeps its damaging aura while attached to the enemy, the aura grows as the tear does until it explodes. The aura can damage only enemies other than the one the tear is stuck to, however.
- Haemolacria: Main tears and burst tears can have the Explosivo effect. If a main tear has the Explosivo effect, it will burst with its explosion, the burst tears dealing damage based off the explosion damage.
- Ipecac: Sticky shots will explode even if they fall to the floor after the initial target dies.
- Lachryphagy: Explosivo tears can be fed and will burst into Explosivo tears; however, if normal tears are fed first, Explosivo fed to the normal tears will not give the tear the Explosivo effect.
- Lost Contact: Tears that stick to enemies can still block/be destroyed by enemy shots.
- Mr. Mega: Increases the damage of Explosivo's explosions to 110.
- Mysterious Liquid: Leaves a pool of green creep on the floor.
- Soy Milk: The 60 point explosion damage bonus is not affected by Soy Milk's penalty, combining efficiently with the high fire rate.
- Spirit Sword: The fired projectile can take on Explosivo's effects. The sword swing can leave behind Explosivo tears.
- Technology Zero: Stuck tears will still generate arcs of electricity. Multiple tears stuck to a single enemy can cause very rapid damage.
Interactions
- All other bomb modifiers: No bomb modifier outside Mr. Mega and Short Fuse has an effect on Explosivo tears.
- Bob's Rotten Head: Bob's Rotten Head has a chance to stick onto enemies. The explosion damage bonus increases to 110.
- Brimstone: Overrides Explosivo.
- Regular explosive tears may stick to enemies in contact with the laser.
- Dr. Fetus: Overrides Explosivo.
- Epic Fetus: Overrides Explosivo.
- The Ludovico Technique: Not recommended. Tear will alternate between "normal" and black. If it touches an enemy, it will stick to it, grow in size, then explode. While the tear is stuck to an enemy, it stops doing damage and cannot be controlled, leaving the player helpless.
- Mom's Knife: Overrides Explosivo.
- Strange Attractor: When a tear sticks to an enemy, nearby enemies will be quickly pulled in the direction of the tear. The constant pull may make the enemy movement unpredictable, however.
- Technology/Tech X: Overrides Explosivo.
- Regular explosive tears may stick to enemies in contact with the laser.
- Trisagion: Overrides Explosivo.
