Description:

• Boom is immune to explosions.
• Boom explodes when he touches an enemy (2 seconds cooldown).
• Boom has the ability to defuse troll bombs (limit of 10 per floor).
• Starts with Nancy Bombs and Match Stick.
• When an enemy dies it has 10% chance to spawn one of the following bombs:
  – 85% chance for it to be a normal activated bomb.
  – 10% chance for it to be a brimstone bomb.
  – 5% chance for it to be a giga bomb.
• The chance for the enemy to spawn a bomb scales with your luck: +2% for each luck.
• Birthright effect: +10% chance for the enemy to spawn a bomb on death.
• Boom has a slight decrease in damage (3.5 X 0.9).
• With Safety Scissors you can defuse unlimited bombs.

Strategy:

• Push the spawned bombs on enemies or use them as protection.
• If an enemy doesn’t deal contact damage, simply touch him.
• Try to max out the luck stat.

• Starts with Remote Detonator and Match Stick.
• In every room that is not cleared there is a timer that ticks down. When the timer reaches zero boom explodes and loses 1 heart. After that the timer resets and ticks down again until the room is cleared.
• Killing an enemy adds 1 second to the timer. Killing a champion adds 5 seconds. Killing a boss adds 15 seconds.
• The timer time depends on the room size. The bigger the room the more time you have.
• You have more time in boss rooms, challenge rooms, and in Chest / Dark Room floor.
• Tainted Boom has all the abilities of Boom except one: he does not have immunity to explosion damage, but he is immune to his own explosions (when touching an enemy).
• When using the Pause item, the timer also stops!
• Birthright effect: Adds 25% more time to the fuse timer.
• In greed mode you get +1.5 seconds to the timer for every kill.

Strategy:

• Remember that when timer runs out you lose 1 heart, but touching an enemy early game only does half a heart, so being aggressive can save you.
• Try to focus fire and prioritise killing champions first as they give +5 seconds.
• Use explosives to quikly kill bosses, champions and large cluster of enemies.
• In greed mode try to leave bombs on the ground until there’s a lot of enemies, or even better leave it for the bosses waves.
