Brain Worm is a trinket added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
Effects
- Tears snap 90 degrees to target enemies that they may have missed.
Notes
- The effect will not work if Isaac is too close to enemies.
- The effect will only work if the tear has a line of sight to the enemy: if it's interrupted by an obstacle, Brain Worm won't work even if Isaac has enough tear height to otherwise clear it unless he also possesses spectral tears.
