Item Interactions
Talk14this wiki
Redirected from Item Synergy
This page is meant to show the interactions between a few special items in the game. This page is meant to show, for example, which items you should not take in combination with the few main attack modifiers such as Brimstone, Mom's Knife, Technology, etc.
Please do not add combinations of items just because they are simply powerful.
Interaction Table
Edit
Each cell in the table shows the resulting effect for the combination of those two items.
