Strategy & Synergies
- Shield bonuses: Whether they are from Charge Shrines, the Chaos Tome, or even the Shield Tome having any amount of shields will prevent you from dying to a single hit regardless of how low your HP is.
- Mirror: Prevents you from taking damage from a hit and briefly makes you invincible. This is just as effective as Shield and can stack with them, just be mindful that this item has a cooldown before it can be activated again.
- Kevin: Kevin has a chance to damage you when hitting enemies. This damage cannot kill you, ignores Shields to damage your HP directly, and doesn't trigger the Mirror. Perfect for keeping your HP at 1 for the maximum damage bonus without disrupting your other methods of survival.
- The Damage bonus from this item is:
- Additive (worse scaling) with: Charge Shrine & Chaos Tome Damage bonuses, Beefy Ring, Demonic Soul, Joe's Dagger, Scarf, Credit Card Red, Beer, Eagle Claw, and Tactical Glasses.
- Multiplicative (better scaling) with: Gym Sauce, Idle Juice, Brass Knuckles, and Speed Boi.
- With the list above in mind, this item stacks poorly with many Damage boosting items that are simply better than it while not requiring you to stay at low HP. For that reason it is usually better to keep this item toggled off unless you are doing either of the following things with your run:
- You're intending to use the Corrupted Sword which also demands you stay at low HP to maintain its massive damage potential.
- You're going for a build using the Cursed Grabbies and as a result cannot stack up your damage using the Beefy Ring.
