Robot Hat
Kills = XP!!
When you kill enemies, they drop collectible bits of XP that increase your shotspeed and tears for the duration of the stage (up to 2x tears and 1.25x shotspeed). And you lose some of those collectibles when getting hit.
When finishing a stage without getting hit, you receive a "Level Up" which grants -1 FireDelay.
