Synergies[ | ]
- Book of Virtues: Spawns red wisps in the middle ring. The wisps fire small Brimstone lasers in the cardinal directions when destroyed. The lasers deal the wisps' tear damage per tick, and can hit up to 20 times. BFFS! will not increase this damage, despite it scaling with the wisps' tear damage.
- Car Battery: Doubles the damage the brimstone beams deal (for a total of 880 damage/ 400 damage per use). Doesn't double the brimstone beams' duration.
