Fire Mind
Effect
- Tears inflict burn to enemies.
- Tears have a chance to explode on impact with an enemy, leaving behind a fire.
- Explosions do Isaac's current tear damage, in addition to the tear's hit.
- (Removed in Repentance) The fires deal 22 damage per tick.
- (Added in Repentance) Each fire deals up to 4 ticks of damage: 1st tick deals 23 damage, 2nd tick 17.3 damage, and 3rd and 4th tick 11.5 damage.
- (Added in Repentance) Fires can block projectiles, up to 4 times, each time getting smaller.
- Isaac cannot take damage from the flame, but he will take damage from the explosion.
- (Added in Afterbirth) Isaac gives a wide glow lighting up dark areas, such as those under the effects of the Curse of Darkness or the Dark One's attacks.
Notes
- The explosion effect chance depends on the luck stat, and goes up to 100% at 13 luck.
- An exploding tear does not set either the hit enemy or anything in the blast range on fire.
- Explosive and burning damage is equal to Isaac's current damage stat.
- The flame will transform Hoppers into Flaming Hoppers.
