Haemolacria

**Haemolacria** is an unlockable passive item added in Booster Pack #4.

## Effects

* Tears are fired in an arc. Upon hitting the floor, an obstacle, or an enemy they burst into many smaller tears in all directions.
* Increases tear delay by a static 35.
* Increases damage by about 31%.
	+ The scattered tears deal random damage that is around 50-80% of the main tear.

## Notes

* The shot speed stat functions oddly for Haemolacria.
	+ The actual velocity of the main shot is not changed, but high shot speed lowers the arc and thus range, whereas low shot speed increases it.
	+ The split tears are affected normally by shot speed.

## Interactions

* Template:I: If a fire button is held down when a Haemolacria tear bursts, the burst tears will hover in place before being fired outwards.
* Template:I / Template:I / Template:I: The visual effects on tears don't work, but the damage bonuses do.
* Azazel: Haemolacria overrides Azazel's Brimstone.
* Template:I: Isaac's tears shrink considerably, but otherwise function as expected: tears pierce enemies instead of bursting on contact. The visual effect is not maintained.
* Template:I: Overrides Haemolacria, with increased damage and tear delay.
	+ Template:I + Template:I: Isaac shoots Haemolacria tears, which spawn tear bombs, which explode and create more Haemolacria tears in a continuous chain. This can cause lagging, and may possibly crash the game. The chain may stop during some phase changes in boss fights like Mega Satan.
* Template:I: The tear loses its ability to burst on hitting enemies, turning into an Eye of Belial tear instead.
	+ This no longer happens as of Booster Pack 5; the tear bursts as normal.
* Template:I: At base range, the main tear bounces once, releasing burst tears which do not bounce, then bursts normally. At high range, the main tear can bounce multiple times.
* Template:I: The main tear has the damaging aura but burst tears do not.
	+ Template:I + The Forgotten: The blood tears from the bone club have the damaging aura.
* Template:I: Overridden by Haemolacria. Only stat changes apply.
* Template:I: Overridden by Haemolacria.
* Template:I: The large tear will shrink if an enemy dies on hit, reducing the damage of the burst tears.
* Template:I: Tears will burst only when they hit the floor, not on walls or enemies.
* Template:I: If the main tear is a booger, it will get stuck and not burst on hitting an enemy, dealing its heightened damage. Split tears have an independent chance of being booger tears.
* Template:I: The main tear follows the beam, but the burst spreads normally.

## Synergies

* Template:I/Template:I/Template:I: Multiple Haemolacria shots are fired simultaneously.
* Template:I: The main tear splits if it hits the prism. Burst tears will only split if the main tear did not split.
* Template:I: Significantly increased tear delay. Isaac fires a large arcing tear with the Brimstone symbol on it that fires several Brimstone beams in random directions upon bursting.
* Template:I: Completely charged tears and their burst tears are larger and deal higher damage than normal. Chocolate Milk also allows low-damage Haemolacria tears to be fired rapidly.
* Conjoined transformation: Fires 3 Haemolacria tears simultaneously.
* Template:I/Template:I: Similar to Cricket's Body, tears will split, scattering massive amounts of smaller tears across the room. Hits on walls or the floor absorb most of the extra tears.
* Template:I: A single tear can scatter massive amounts of smaller tears in a wide area regardless of what it hits.
* Template:I: Both the main tear and the burst tears can increase the damage bonus, but missing the burst tears won't reset it.
* Template:I: Significantly increased tear delay. Isaac fires a large arcing tear reminiscent of a bomb that scatters into 3-5 bombs that explode simultaneously.
* Template:I: The fire rate penalty of Haemolacria applies after Eve's Mascara's, which means in most cases fire rate is lowered much less than expected, while damage is still doubled.
* Template:I: The familiar fires additional Haemolacria tears.
* The Forgotten: Several blood tears are scattered upon the bone club hitting an enemy. Also increases the size of the club, similar to Template:I. The throw is unaffected and does not scatter blood tears.
* Template:I: The main tear can be a holy tear and bursts normally in addition to the light beam. Split tears have an independent chance of being holy tears.
* Template:I: Fires a large explosive shot that releases more explosive shots in all directions upon bursting.
* Template:I: Tears look like Hameolacria. They can be fed and will burst into 8 tears that have Haemolacria's burst effect upon hitting obstacles or enemies.
* Template:I: Fires a barrage of Haemolacria tears, all of which will burst.
* Keeper: Fires 3 Haemolacria tears simultaneously, with lower fire rate.
* Template:I: Haemolacria works with minimal tear delay while Mom's Knife has to be charged.
	+ Does not work with Lilith, Mom's Knife overrides Haemolacria.
* Template:I: Fires a barrage of Haemolacria tears. Increases charging time considerably.
* Template:I: Removes the arcing behavior of the tears, massively increasing airtime of both the main tear and the scattered ones.
* Template:I: The large tear floats in the air before exploding, and the smaller burst tears can be knocked around.
* Template:I: Large tear and burst tears do roughly double normal damage.
* Template:I: Fires a ring of Haemolacria tears.
* Template:I: The tears burst into 3-5 Tech X rings on impact.
* Template:I: Fires arcing tears that release Technology lasers upon bursting.
* Template:I: Enemies and objects will be pulled toward the Haemolacria shot, increasing accuracy.
* Template:I: The ten tears fired upon taking damage will all burst.

## Trivia

* Haemolacria is based on this Steam Workshop item by HiHowAreYou, originally known as Water Balloon.
* The item is a reference to the rare condition with the same name that causes people to produce tears that are composed of blood.

## Bugs

**Bug **Bug!**** When using The Forgotten's melee attack with both Jacob's Ladder and Haemolacria, the sparks caused by splattered tears will hurt the player. This does not apply to other tear scattering items.
