Kamikaze! is an activated item.

Effect

• Upon use, creates an explosion in the same place as Isaac, damaging him for half a heart of health and dealing damage to all enemies caught in the blast.
  • The explosion deals 40 damage.
  • Kamikaze!'s effect is identical to that of Mr. Mega or Mr. Boom, dealing 185 damage in a wide radius.

Notes

• Unlike IV Bag, Isaac will not take damage from using Kamikaze while he has any form of invincibility active, such as after being hit.
  • However, it has a cooldown that lasts as long as the invincibility gained from its own damage, preventing Isaac from using it a second time for the cost of one hit.
• Benefits from many bomb-enhancing items such as Bob's Curse, with exceptions listed below.

Synergies

• Blind Rage: With longer invincibility, Isaac can use Kamikaze! a second time without taking damage.
• Pyromaniac/ Host Hat: Allows unlimited use without consequences.
• Gnawed Leaf: Activating Kamikaze will cancel out of the statue state, but Isaac will not be damaged by the resulting explosion, unlike with other self-damage activated items.
• Holy Mantle: The mantle will absorb the damage from the explosion if it is the first damage in the room. It can be used repeatedly by re-entering the same room after each use.
• Mars: Isaac is invincible during the dash, allowing for unlimited uses with careful timing.
• Schoolbag: The cooldown before the player can use Kamikaze! again is eliminated when switching items. Depending on how fast the player can push the buttons, Kamikaze! can be used multiple times during Isaac's invincibility frames.
• Tainted Forgotten: Explodes on Tainted Forgotten’s body, meaning that it is safe to use infinitely so long as Tainted Soul is not within the blast radius.

Interactions

• Bob's Bladder: No effect.
• Car Battery: No effect.
• Mr. Mega: No effect.
• Rocket in a Jar: No effect.
• Scatter Bombs: No effect.
• Sticky Bombs: No effect.
