Chocolate Milk

From The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Chocolate Milk is a passive item.

Effects

  • Grants charged tears that deal greater damage when fully charged.
    • Tear damage scales from approximately 10% damage at a minimum charge to 400% damage at full charge.
      • The minimum charge damage increases as Isaac's fire rate increases.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Tear delay: ×2.5.

Notes

  • Repeatedly pressing a key to fire allows Isaac to fire as quickly as the key is pressed, up to the equivalent of a maxed tears stat. This is not generally recommended, as overall damage per second is greatly reduced.
    • Rapid-fire can be useful for dealing with low-health enemies or for quickly destroying obstacles like poops or fireplaces, for whom DPS is less relevant, or chance-based tear effects.
  • Having multiple instances of Chocolate Milk has no effect.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) At 30.00 fire rate or above, charging is no longer needed. Higher fire rate results in higher tear damage. At 120.00 fire rate, tears deal 4× Isaac's damage.

Synergies

  • 20/2020/20 / The Inner EyeThe Inner Eye / Mutant SpiderMutant Spider: Fires multiple charged shots.
  • Cricket's BodyCricket's Body / The ParasiteThe Parasite / (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Compound FractureCompound Fracture: Since split tears tend to hit the same target the main tear hits, this can allow for much higher damage.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Character The Forgotten icon.pngThe Forgotten: When charging the club, instead of being thrown, the club grows bigger in size and damage.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) GodheadGodhead: Charging the shots increases the size and damage of the aura.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Charging the shots increases the size of the aura, but not its damage.
  • GuppyGuppy: Firing quickly generates lots of Blue Flies, which can lead to much higher damage than firing tears alone.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) HaemolacriaHaemolacria: Increased tear delay. Completely charged shots and their burst tears are larger and deal higher damage than normal. Chocolate Milk also allows low-damage Haemolacria shots to be fired rapidly.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Immaculate HeartImmaculate Heart: Orbiting tears' damage does not depend on the charge of Chocolate Milk, so Isaac can shoot low damage tears rapidly to produce a large number of orbiting tears which do full damage.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Ghost PepperGhost Pepper / (in Repentance and Repentance+) Bird's EyeBird's Eye: Fires' damage does not depend on the charge of Chocolate Milk, so Isaac can shoot low damage tears rapidly to fire full damage flames frequently.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) ParasitoidParasitoid / The MulliganThe Mulligan: Flies and spiders generated deal full damage regardless of charge, allowing Isaac to shoot low damage tears to generate flies and spiders rapidly which do full damage.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Isaac's TearsIsaac's Tears / Sad BombsSad Bombs / Tammy's HeadTammy's Head: The size and damage of all generated tears correspond to the current charge level of Chocolate Milk. Isaac's Tears will nearly instantly recharge while charging a Chocolate Milk shot.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Charge level does not affect generated tears. Isaac's Tears recharge only when a shot is fired.
  • IpecacIpecac: Increased tear delay. Charged shots deal massively increased damage, as the +40 damage from Ipecac is run through the damage multiplier of Chocolate Milk. It also allows low-damage Ipecac shots to be fired rapidly.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) LachryphagyLachryphagy: Rapidly firing small, uncharged tears can cause the fed tear to grow into a gigantic tear that will still deal fairly low damage while feeding tears with charged tears will result in higher-damage tears.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Charged and uncharged fed tears deal similar damage.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Mom's WigMom's Wig: Spiders rapidly spawn while charging.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Spiders spawn only when a shot is fired.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Monstro's LungMonstro's Lung: Reduces Isaac's current tear delay by 20%, allowing Monstro's Lung to charge faster. Each tear from Monstro's Lung is also a charged Chocolate Milk shot, massively increasing damage.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Tear damage, along with the number of tears fired is dependent on charge time.
  • PolyphemusPolyphemus: Increased tear delay. Massively increases the damage of each shot, and charged tears decay in damage much slower as they pierce as a result.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Sinus InfectionSinus Infection: Booger damage is influenced by the damage of the individual tear, so fully-charged Chocolate Milk shots can result in very potent damage over time.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Technology 2Technology 2: Damage dealt by the laser is equal to Isaac's current charge, leading to constant high damage from a safe distance.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The laser deals 13% of Isaac's damage regardless of charge, tears are affected by Chocolate Milk as normal.
  • (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) TrisagionTrisagion: Fully charged beams deal four times normal damage. Trisagion's shots are colored brown.
