Sponge Bombs is a passive collectible added in Revelations Chapter One.

Effects[ | ]

  • +5 Bombs.
  • Changes the player's bombs into tiered bombs which can be increased in size and damage the more the tears they absorb.
    • Sponge Bombs leave creep on the ground each time they absorb a tear.

Notes[ | ]

  • The bomb's damage output and radius can be increased infinitely, but the fuse timer of the bomb makes it hard to increase it extremely high.
  • Sponge Bombs can absorb both player and enemy tears.
  • Sponge Bombs output a variety of effects upon explosion determined by the tear effects they absorb.
  • The bombs output the amount of damage it absorbs. It starts with a base damage of 600, and it will absorb the damage that is put into it and will do that amount upon explosion.
    • Since 3.50 damage counts as 35 damage, the third numeral always rounds up when being absorbed into Sponge Bombs. For instance, if the player has 3.51 damage, the bomb will absorb 36 damage, as the third numeral rounds up to the next one, making the five a six.
