**Tear Detonator** is an activated item added in *The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth*.

## Effects

* Once activated, all tears in the air split into 6 more tears in all directions, which retain their damage and shot speed.
	+ Luck-based effects from items such as  or  are applied individually to each tear.

## Notes

* The item only costs 10 coins when found in a Shop.

## Synergies

* : Will bust tears generated by Akeldama into Isaac's current tears.
* : Tears that are split by the prism can be split again by Tear Detonator.
* : All tears currently floating in the air will be multiplied, resulting in a massive amount of tears.
* Bethany/ Tainted Bethany: Bethany can use Tear Detonator multiple times in rapid succession at the cost of one Soul/Blood Charge per use, allowing for a huge area of effect that wipes out most rooms.
* : Spawns wisps on the middle ring. The wisps' tears are also detonated into 6 tears; the resulting tears are based on Isaac's own, rather than the wisps'. Created wisps trigger Tear Detonator's effect when destroyed. Despite Tear Detonator having a timed recharge, the wisps persist between rooms.
* : Multiplies the tears, effectively creating dozens of tears.
* //: Tears that are split can split again into burst tears.
* : Splits tears into 6 Haemolacria tears that burst into split tears. If split tears are burst, all of them will split into 6 Haemolacria tears creating an enormous amount of tears when the main tear splits again.
* : All tears will split into 6 explosive tears, making it very powerful (but also dangerous unless Isaac has  or ).
* : Similar to the Haemolacria synergy, if the main tear splits, 6 tears will spawn that can be fed. However, if burst tears are split, all burst tears will split into 6 tears resulting in an enormous amount of tears that are likely to feed each other.
* : Each of the tears explodes into 6 smaller tears.
* : The tear explodes into six smaller tears, then reappears next to the player.
* : The shrapnel tears will curve back to the location of the original detonated tear.
* : Bomb tears are multiplied.
* Shooting familiars: Shooting familiars' tears explode into Isaac's tears, with his actual damage and effects.
* : Tears generated by Tear Detonator can be connected with electric charges.
	+ **Technology Zero** +  / : Spores/Boogers generated by Tear Detonator can be connected with electric charges.
* : Tears split, and then orbit around where the tear was originally from, three spinning clockwise, three counterclockwise.
* : Tears split into six beams.

## Interactions

* : No matter how charged the tears are, split tears always deal a tiny amount of damage.
	+ Split tears always deal Isaac's damage.
* : Tears that are stuck to enemies will not deal explosion damage; tears released by it may be sticky tears that immediately stick back onto the enemy.
