Cricket's Body

Cricket's Body is a passive item.

Effects

• When Isaac's normal tears disappear (either from hitting the ground or hitting something else), they spawn 4 smaller tears.
  • Each smaller tear deals half of Isaac's normal damage.
  • Split tears are scaled down by 0.6x from the main ones, ignoring damage-based size reduction.
• Tear size multiplier: 1.2x.
• +0.1 tear size.
• -1 tear delay (increased rate of fire)
  • Since this directly affects tear delay instead of changing the tears stat, it allows Isaac's rate of fire to go over the normal maximum rate.
  • Tear delay decreases are more noticeable and are a greater increase to DPS when the tears stat is high.
• +0.5 fire rate.
• -10 range.
• 0.8x range multiplier.

Notes

• Split tears will inherit the main tear's status effect, if any.
• If Isaac has less than 10 range/ 10 tear height, the split tears appear but cannot cause damage before hitting the floor.
  • Cain, Lazarus, and Samson have lower starting range and are particularly susceptible.
  • Tear falling speed ups can't mitigate this downside.

Synergies

• Angelic Prism: All tears split by the prism will burst into split tears.
• Bob's Rotten Head: Bob's Rotten Head splits into four smaller heads on detonation.
• Compound Fracture: When bone tears split into bone shards after hitting an obstacle or enemy, the bone shards will split into 4 smaller bone shards after hitting the ground.
• Explosivo: The explosion results in split Explosivo shots being generated. If the target survives, they're likely to immediately stick again. The split tears explode when they hit an enemy or the ground.
• Haemolacria: Main tears can split as they burst upon hitting the floor, an obstacle, or an enemy. The split tears can burst, but burst tears from main tears do not split.
  • Cricket's Body's x0.8 range multiplier does not stack with Haemolacria's own x0.8 range multiplier.
• Ipecac: Main tear splits into four explosive splash tears. The split tears can still damage Isaac. Having Host Hat or Pyromaniac is strongly recommended.
  • Cricket's Body's x0.8 range multiplier does not stack with Ipecac's own x0.8 range multiplier.
• Lachryphagy: Fed tears split into 12 tears.
• Lead Pencil/Monstro's Lung: All tears fired will splash after landing. Increased damage potential only noticed when firing into groups, due to the random pattern of each tear when it splashes.
• The Parasite: Eight split tears instead of four.
• Tiny Planet: The split tears orbit Isaac instead of spreading.
• Tough Love: Teeth tears will split into 4 smaller teeth.
• Tractor Beam: Main tears and split tears will travel along the beam.

Interactions

• Brimstone: Overrides Cricket's Body.
  • Small red brimstone tears will fire out upon the beam hitting a wall or enemy.
  • Brimstone + Soy Milk: Brimstone tears always fire out at the end of the beam.
• Dead Onion: Significantly decreases effective range, potentially preventing the split tears from causing damage.
• Diplopia: No effect.
• Dr. Fetus: Reduces range, bombs do not split.
  • Reduces range, the bombs fired by Dr. Fetus will split into smaller bombs, much like Scatter Bombs.
  • Increases range, the bombs fired by Dr. Fetus will split into smaller bombs, much like Scatter Bombs.
• Epic Fetus: Only tear stat change applies.
• Euthanasia: Needle tears will split into 4 small needle tears upon hitting the ground or an enemy. Split tears produced have a chance to deal triple damage but will not cause tear bursts.
• Fire Mind: Main tear splits into four explosive splash tears. Having Host Hat or Pyromaniac is strongly recommended.
• Flat Stone: Tears will usually only bounce twice, unless Isaac has high range, and spawn burst tears when they bounce.
• Hook Worm: Split tears gain a significant range increase, allowing them to potentially hit farther targets
• Kidney Stone: Drastically decreases range, potentially preventing the split tears from causing damage. The stone will not split.
• The Ludovico Technique: Overrides Cricket's Body except for stat effects which apply.
• Mom's Knife: Range of the knife is significantly decreased.
• Number One: Tears disappear very quickly after being fired, and split tears barely travel at all.
  • Not recommended. Unlike other similar items, Cricket's Body's x0.8 range multiplier does stack with Number One's own x0.8 range multiplier, thus drastically reducing range.
• Piercing tears: Tears will only split after landing on the ground.
• Spectral tears: Tears will only split after landing on the ground.
• Technology/ Tech X: Overrides Cricket's Body. Stat effects still apply.
  • Cricket's Body tear splitting effect applies when lasers hit something.
