Explosion radius has a base value of 4m (meters) with a cap of 8m. Radius is affected by Size but will not increase until another copy of the item is obtained. Each copy of this item will increase the radius by 1m as well as any extra radius that would be gained by your Size stat.<br>

If your Size multiplier is x1 then you will need 5 copies of it to max out the radius.

This item allows single-target critical hit builds to handle large swarms of enemies effectively.
* Works best with [[CL4NK]] or in builds using the [[Precision Tome]] to ensure all attacks are Crits.
* The explosion deals a percentage of the original crit's damage, so it scales with both Crit Chance and Crit Damage modifiers.
* Pairs well with [[Forbidden Juice]] and [[Giant Fork]] for extra Crit synergy.
* It synergizes perfectly with items that increase Crit Chance (like '''Forbidden Juice''') and fast-hitting weapons to maximize the number of explosions.
* [[Overpowered Lamp]] DOES grant extra chances to cause Crit explosions despite having no effect on the other Crit synergy items [[Demonic Blade]] and [[Giant Fork]].
* The unlock condition requires proficiency with the Sniper Rifle, a weapon that likely relies on precise, high-damage critical hits.
* Due to this item giving no benefit past the 5th stack obtained it is advised to save a Banish for it in long runs to prevent getting useless items from chests.

If your Size multiplier is x1 then you will need 5 copies of it to max out the radius.

The first copy of this item also increases your Crit Chance by 2%. Any more copies will not increase Crit Chance. Thank god, this item may have broken the game if it did anything at all past the 5th copy!
