Recognize it and read the attack
A toothed, wormlike flying enemy.
Charges when Isaac aligns horizontally or vertically. In Repentance, Leeches resist knockback.
What makes it dangerous
A charge can cross obstacles that would stop a grounded pursuer.
A suggested response
- Step across the charge lane rather than retreating along it.
- Keep an escape route that does not depend on pushing the Leech away with tears.
Check the other enemies before committing to this response. Obstacles, your weapon and your character can change the safest angle.
The mistake to avoid
Relying on a rock or tear knockback to stop the approach.
Cross the committed charge lane rather than retreating along it.
Compare the family
A shared family does not guarantee the same attack or death effect.
