Glare

Description
This mod adds a brand new character: Glare!

Glare comes equipped with a sword, which is impaling his head. Instead of firing tears he drops the sword into the ground. When the sword lands, it deals damage in a small area around it, and fires a burst of his tears in every direction.

Activating the sword while it's grounded will cause it to fly back to you, dealing damage in it's wake.

There is a cooldown equivalent to your fire delay before you can place the sword again. This is only really noticeable once you've picked up items that greatly decrease firerate. This limitation does not apply to calling back the sword, which can always be done immediately after placing the sword.

The damage of the sword while flying, and the tear burst scale off of your damage. The sword has also been updated to synergize a lot more than it used to.


Noteable synergies include, but are not limited to:

- Tear effects like poison, Godhead, homing, etc
- Brimstone (includes special costume)
- Dr. Fetus/Epic Fetus
- Monstro's Lung
- Technology 1/Technology 2/Tech.5/Tech X
- Ghost Pepper/Bird's Eye
- Large Zit
- Lead Pencil
- Eye Sore
- Loki's Horns
- 20/20
- The Inner Eye
- Mutant Spider
- The Wiz


I added a tainted glare, where your sword is cursed and will fly at you, as well as create projectile bursts by plunging into the ground. As tainted glare, you have the ability to shoot, and will have to complete the run dodging the sword at all times.

I did not have Tainted Jacob unlocked and did not know what he did when making this version of Tainted Glare, as a consequence, I unknowingly created a very similar tainted character! That's not to say they they are exactly the same person, but the similarities are undeniable.

Big thanks to Hox for the sprite work!

READ(REPENTANCE): Currently custom sounds do not work. This mod should work with rep now, and you can also play as Glare as a co-op player. Sounds just temporarily dont work on rep until they get fixed in a game patch. After they are patched by the developers, it should be working!

maybe it would be more awesome if there were unlocks

i think you need to upgrade your mod cuz it looks like a bit raw and have strange (in my opinion) sprites, also, for some reason, enemy's projectiles just fly at strang angles like something pushing them

i wish tainted glare got a rework, i know they were made before the author knew about t. jacob but it really does feel like a worse t. jacob

does this work with AB+?

why do all the floor and boss room loading screens have just a picture of the sword?

Is it intentional that when you have dead eye you get the dmg up by hitting enemies with the tears but don't loose it when missing?

Unsure if it's intentional, but Stye seems to affect all of his tears, implying they're all from the right eye.
Maybe it could be changed so all the tears on the right or left side of the sword count as being from that eye?

Also, the tech.5 synergy could probably use a bit of a damage down.

pls make him unlockable in home, as the rest of tainted characters

The fact that the sword is treated as an enemy breaks modded bosses, that gain invulnerability until all other small enemies are defeated.
