Description:

Well sure enough, it’s been buffed!

The original Aquarius was always a downer when you picked it, mostly cause it had an effect that was barely noticeable..
I originally wanted to just up the damage it dealt per tick, and even though that happened as well in this mod I felt like it was necessary as well to give it a little more ‘spice’, since just a damage up seemed so…
…well, lame.

So without further ado:
Before:
– Would leave a trail of tears that did 2 damage per tick

That was it…

Changes:
– Upped the damage to 5 damage per tick
– If the player picks up a certain items that gives statuseffects to enemies, the trail of tears changes color to that appropriate effect and gives a 50% chance upon dealing damage to an enemy to also apply that statuseffect to that enemy for 8 seconds
– Effects include: Fear(purple), Slow(white), Burn(orange), Charm(pink), Poison(green), Confusion(lightgrey), Bleed(red), Freeze(darkgrey) and the Midas’s touch effect (gold)
(I didn’t include Shrink cause I didn’t know what color to give to it)
EDIT: I also added shrink now (darkblue)
EDIT2: On request, I’ve also made a special state that changes effect based on time passed (rainbow colored)
– These effects don’t stack

The items that I qualified for the statuseffect to change include items that not always make sense (like, you can get the burn effect from hot bombs). I might change this in the future if people don’t like that I gave so many items the ability to change the effect, but I thought it was important that as much items as possible could change the effect, since you might not even happen to stumble upon any items if I qualified too few of them…

I also wanted to have a little feedback about the effects I chose since some (like the gold and freeze effect) are a little OP.
Like, I could give them a higher random chance to take effect. I could also just remove them.
Pls let me know what you think if you playtested it…

– Gave extra description for External Items Descriptions
Not really compatible with True Co-op.
Or at least, it doesn’t keep track of wich creep should be changed. It changes creep universally, thought i’d let people know..

Anyway, hope that you can enjoy this, but if you think this mod can be improved, pls give me your feedback…:D

And as always:

<Have fun!>
