Effects
- Spawns a bone familiar that can be aimed with the fire buttons in all directions and does contact damage.
- The familiar will continuously hover back and forth in the direction that it is pointing in.
- The damage is equal to Isaac's tear damage and is dealt 6 times per second.
- The damage increases when Isaac is moving on the direction the familiar is pointing in based on Isaac's current speed, up to twice of its base damage.
- The familiar will damage
Poops and
Fire Places.
Synergies
Proptosis: Triples the contact damage. Has no penalty with range.
Spin to Win: As Spin to Win allows moving faster than the normal limit, the bonus damage from jabbing can also be over 100%.
Interactions
BFFS!: Doubles the base contact damage, but not the bonus damage granted from Isaac's movement.
