Evil Eye

Effect

• Isaac will occasionally fire a slow-moving eye with an infinite range that fires tears identical to Isaac's tears in the direction that Isaac is firing.
  • The chance is affected very slightly by luck and never gets very high.

Notes

• The eye has the same rate of fire and damage as Isaac.
• The direction of the eye's tears is affected by the direction the eye is traveling in.
  • (Added in Repentance) Now fire in the same direction as Isaac.
• If the eyes are spawned from The Forgottens Melee attack, the eyes will pick up items off the floor in the same way The Forgottens melee attack does.
• The eyes are not treated as familiars and therefore will not synergize with items like BFFS!.
• Eyes disappear when hitting walls, enemies, and obstacles, even if Isaac has piercing or spectral tears.
  • Familiars like Dry Baby, (Added in Afterbirth †) Angry Fly and even (Added in Afterbirth †) Finger! also destroy the eye on collision.

Synergies

• (Added in Repentance) Astral Projection: During the time-stop period of Astral Projection, there is a chance that the eyes fired will stop in the air instead of flying in a direction, and will last indefinitely until an enemy bump into it, greatly increase the existing time of evil eyes. Triggering of Astral Projection also greatly increase fire rate, giving a higher possibility to fire eyes.

• Homing tears: Eyes will fire homing tears; however, the eye itself will not home in on enemies.

• (Added in Afterbirth †) Pop!: Eyes will fire eyeball tears but cannot be knocked around by them.

• (Added in Repentance) Spirit Sword: Massively powerful, will "swing" in the direction isaac is is firing for as long as it is held and has slightly less range than Isaac's base stat.

• (Added in Afterbirth †) Trisagion: Eyes will fire beams. Occasionally causes Trisagion beams to stay static in the air for a few seconds, dealing damage to enemies that come in contact with them.

• Items that reduce shot speed, such as Dead Onion, can be beneficial, as eyes will stay on the screen longer.

• Mom's Eye: Evil eye has a chance to be shot backwards, but will still fire in the direction Isaac is shooting
