Cricket's Body

**Cricket's Body** is a passive item.

## Effects

* When Isaac's normal tears disappear (either from hitting the ground or hitting something else), they spawn 4 smaller tears.
	+ Each smaller tear deals half of Isaac's normal damage.
	+ Split tears are scaled down by 0.6x from the main ones, ignoring damage-based size reduction.
* Tear size multiplier: 1.2x.
* +0.1 tear size.
* -1 tear delay (increased rate of fire)
	+ Since this directly affects tear delay instead of changing the tears stat, it allows Isaac's rate of fire to go over the normal maximum rate.
	+ Tear delay decreases are more noticeable and are a greater increase to DPS when the tears stat is high.
* +0.5 fire rate.
* -10 range.
* 0.8x range multiplier.

## Notes

* Split tears will inherit the main tear's status effect, if any.
* If Isaac has less than 10 range/10 tear height, the split tears appear but cannot cause damage before hitting the floor.
	+ Cain,  Lazarus, and  Samson have lower starting range and are particularly susceptible.
	+ Tear falling speed ups can't mitigate this downside.

## Synergies

* : All tears split by the prism will burst into split tears.
* : Bob's Rotten Head splits into four smaller heads on detonation.
* : When bone tears split into bone shards after hitting an obstacle or enemy, the bone shards will split into 4 smaller bone shards after hitting the ground.
* : Main tears can split as they burst upon hitting the floor, an obstacle, or an enemy. The split tears can burst, but burst tears from main tears do not split.
	+ Cricket's Body's x0.8 range multiplier does not stack with Haemolacria's own x0.8 range multiplier.
* : Main tear splits into four explosive splash tears. The split tears can still damage Isaac. Having  or  is strongly recommended.
	+ Cricket's Body's x0.8 range multiplier does not stack with Ipecac's own x0.8 range multiplier.
* : Fed tears split into 12 tears.
* /: All tears fired will splash after landing. Increased damage potential only noticed when firing into groups, due to the random pattern of each tear when it splashes.
* : Eight split tears instead of four.
* : The split tears orbit Isaac instead of spreading.
* : Teeth tears will split into 4 smaller teeth.
* : Main tears and split tears will travel along the beam.

## Interactions

* : Overrides Cricket's Body.
	+ Small red brimstone tears will fire out upon the beam hitting a wall or enemy.
	+ **Brimstone** + : Brimstone tears always fire out at the end of the beam.
* : Significantly decreases effective range, potentially preventing the split tears from causing damage.
* : No effect.
* : Reduces range, bombs do not split.
	+ Reduces range, the bombs fired by Dr. Fetus will split into smaller bombs, much like .
	+ Increases range, the bombs fired by Dr. Fetus will split into smaller bombs, much like .
* : Only tear stat change applies.
* : Needle tears will split into 4 small needle tears upon hitting the ground or an enemy. Split tears produced have a chance to deal triple damage but will not cause tear bursts.
* : Main tear splits into four explosive splash tears. Having  or  is strongly recommended.
* : Tears will usually only bounce twice, unless Isaac has high range, and spawns burst tears when they bounce.
* : Split tears gain a significant range increase, allowing them to potentially hit farther targets
* : Drastically decreases range, potentially preventing the split tears from causing damage. The stone will not split.
* : Overrides Cricket's Body except for stat effects which apply.
* : Range of the knife is significantly decreased.
* : Tears disappear **very** quickly after being fired, and split tears barely travel at all.
	+ **Not recommended.** Unlike other similar items, Cricket's Body's x0.8 range multiplier does stack with Number One's own x0.8 range multiplier, thus drastically reducing range.
* Piercing tears: Tears will only split after landing on the ground.
* Spectral tears: Tears will only split after landing on the ground.
* /: Overrides Cricket's Body. Stat effects still apply.
	+ Cricket's Body tear splitting effect applies when lasers hit something.
