Mechanics
What Glass Cannon does
- The active item fires a spectral, piercing tear that deals 10× Isaac's damage plus 10. Firing does not cost health in Repentance.
- A hit while holding it breaks the cannon for a few rooms and removes 2 additional hearts. That extra damage cannot itself kill Isaac, though the original hit can. It also grants +1.5 range and a blood trail for the room; self-damage does not trigger it.

Practical note
