  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)BFFS!: Flies are larger and deal double damage.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+)Hive Mind: No effect.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Hive Mind: Flies are larger and deal double damage.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+)Sacrificial Altar: Spawned fly turrets count as familiars for sacrificing; although dropping the Brown Nugget will despawn the last fly turret, older ones will remain and can be sacrificed
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+)Sacrificial Altar: Spawned fly turrets count as regular blue flies for sacrificing, and thus are converted to pennies.
