Mom's Hug was an active item from the Epiphany mod. It is currently unobtainable as of Wave 7.
Effects
Mom's Hug has a recharge time of 5 seconds and, when used, it allows the player to "grab" an enemy and, by holding a shooting button, spin it around with increasing speed. Grabbing an enemy deals it twice the player's damage per second, and releasing the button will throw it:
- If the enemy hits a wall, it takes 40 damage scaling with its launch speed.
- If the enemy hits other enemies, it takes no damage but the other enemies do.
Enemies killed by Mom's Hug will drop temporary red hearts.
Notes
- If an enemy is killed by the spin, most post-death effects will not trigger. For example, Squirts will not spawn Dips, Suckers won't release bullets on death, and Boom Flies won't explode.
- This also applies to bosses and minibosses. As such, a player can use Mom's Hug to quickly defeat bosses like Teratoma, Envy, and The Fallen while avoiding their splitting animations.
- The effects of certain champions will still trigger after being killed by the spin from Mom's Hug:
- Dark Red champions will collapse like a Globin, but will remain within the Hug until it dies or the animation ends.
- Pulsing Green champions will split up like normal, breaking out of the hug in the process.
- Light White champions will still spawn an Attack Fly upon death, and the Eternal Flies surrounding it will become active as well.
Synergies
