Synergies

Finger on the Pulse:

If the player has [Heart BottleHeart Bottle] , [Heart HolsterHeart Holster] , [Heart PurseHeart Purse] , [Heart LocketHeart Locket] , or [Heart LunchboxHeart Lunchbox] and takes damage while holding Pulse Cannon, three temporary Pulse Cannons spawn around the player and fire at enemies, before disappearing. This effect stacks with itself, each hit adding 3 more pulse cannons. The functional maximum is 6 though, due to invincibility frames limiting how much damage can be taken within the lifespan of one set of cannons.
