Fruit Cake

Fruit Cake is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effects[]

Each tear that Isaac fires gains a random effect. The possible effects are:

Anti-Gravity

Ball of Bandages (Level 4)

Bumbo (Level 3)

The following tear effects when generated by Fruit Cake work differently than that of the base item:

Eye of Greed: Isaac will not lose coins from this effect occurring.
Ipecac: There is no associated damage up/poison effect.
My Reflection: There is no associated shot speed up.
Polyphemus: Only the ability to pierce enemies on overkill damage is applied; there is no associated damage bonus with the tear.
Proptosis : There is no associated damage multiplier, effectively decreasing damage dealt.
Serpent's Kiss: This keeps the internal tear tag that makes enemies drop Black Hearts, despite the item itself losing this ability.
Tiny Planet: There is no associated range up.

The unique tear effects available to some wisps made by Book of Virtues can also be used by Fruit Cake. This can include:

Drop hearts/coins/cards/runes on kill. The tear must deal the final hit; earlier hits do not flag enemies to drop the consumable on death.
Teleport enemies to a random location in the room. This cannot affect Bosses.
Transform enemies into poop (similarly to E. Coli).
Transform enemies into random wisps.

Synergies[]

Brimstone: Each tick of brimstone has a random effect.
Dr. Fetus: Bombs pull their effects from bomb modifiers ( Bobby-Bomb, Bob's Curse, Bomber Boy, Butt Bombs, Glitter Bombs, Hot Bombs, Mr. Mega, Sad Bombs, Scatter Bombs, Sticky Bombs) as well as tear effects.
Finger!/ Technology 2: Each tick of the laser has a random effect, allowing it to rapidly afflict enemies with multiple status effects.
Isaac's Tears/ Tammy's Head/ Tear Detonator: Each tear will have its own tear effect.
The Ludovico Technique: The tear will cycle through different effects, based on Isaac's tear rate.
Mom's Knife: The benefits of fruit cake still occur but are short lived due to the high damage of Mom's knife.
