Bullet Familiars summoned by the Lore Gunjurer will also attack enemies.
Bosses cannot be charmed, though enemies they summon can be charmed.

Notes[ | ]

  • Enemies can be frozen and burn at the same time.
  • Enemies that are shattered while frozen will often skip their usual 'on-death' effect, such as exploding, dropping pools of goop or spawning more enemies.
  • Rats will not appear to be visually tinted when poisoned other than emanating green bubbles.

Cosmetic Only Status Effects[ | ]

These are status effects that can be applied to enemies, but have no purpose outside of cosmetic changes.

Appearance Effect Description
Tangledeffect Tangled Turns the affected enemies rectangular. Does not affect enemies that are also Jammed.

Inflicted only by the Tangler.

Encircledeffect Encircled Applies the rectangle effect as with the Tangled status effect, and crops the resulting rectangular enemy into a circle.

Inflicted only by the Tangler with the Synergy Full Circle synergy.

Glittery Bullet Kin Glittered Covers the enemy with sparkly glitter.

Killing a boss after covering it in glitter earns the player the Day Ruiner Achievement.

Has a chance to be inflicted by the package launched at the end of the Mailbox's clip.

Bloody Bullet Kin Bloody Turns the enemy red, greatly similar in appearance to the Jammed.

Inflicted by the Mutation.

Notes[ | ]

  • The Tangled status effect began as a glitch with the game's sprites which was eventually incorporated into a feature.[1]
