Launch when you press fire
Tainted Lilith attacks by launching her tethered fetus. The outward strike can hit enemies on its path. The character does not fire ordinary tears directly from her own body.

Tainted Lilith:
Launch, hold and recall
Choose between a fetus launch and sustained fire, then recall it to prepare the next launch.
Understand the system
Aim from the fetus, dodge with the body.
Hold for tears from the fetus
Keeping fire held leaves the fetus extended so it can shoot at nearby enemies. Its position is the tear origin. Obstacles and your own movement can change the useful angle.
Release to bring it back
Stopping fire recalls the fetus. Once it returns, another press can start a fresh launch. Repeated launches and sustained tears are separate choices, not interchangeable timing.
Gello is a related collectible reference. Tainted Lilith has the fetal attack innately and does not start with the Gello active item. Standalone item damage multipliers are not used here.

Tainted Lilith
Press fire with the fetus recalled
Before
Fetus inside Lilith; ordinary firing behavior; enemy on the launch path
After
Fetus launches; outward strike can hit
The attack begins with the outward launch. A hit depends on the enemy actually intersecting that path.
Check before acting: Line up the path without walking your body into contact damage.

This reference does not read your save, calculate a crafting recipe or simulate an arbitrary inventory, health bar, queue or combat state.
Before the next action
- Before the first launch, line up an enemy with the outward path and leave your body a safe route to move.
- Hold fire when the extended fetus has a useful firing position. Watch your body for incoming shots while judging the separate tear origin.
- Release and let the fetus return when you want another launch. Practice the rhythm in an open room before relying on it around obstacles.
