Description

Adds a brand new character: Boom!

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.

Tainted Boom

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.

This man is truly a blast. an absolute unit, i don't know what goober would say he's bad, 10/10 in my opinion, the all around BEST modded character next to samael or steven
