In-game pickup line
“Protective buddy”
Mechanics
What Dead Bird does
- A hit releases Dead Bird to chase enemies in the current room.
- The bird deals contact damage while active, but the effect does not prevent the triggering hit.
In a run
Practical note
After taking a hit, keep moving and let the bird pressure enemies for the rest of that room.
