"ugh you picked up shard of glass your run is ruined why did you pick up a run ruiner it's a suicide item"

[Freaktacular]

please shut the ♥♥♥♥ up oh my god stop talking about how bad you THINK items are when you've barely played with them.

[Yasuho]

It's a good source of damage (for the enemies)

[Revalopod]

never got shard of glass as tainted eden huh? lucky you

[RZA]

Win a J&E run, Tainted Laz run, and Tainted Jacob run with shard of glass THEN maybe I will stop complaining. Until then, yeah it's trash

[goku (racist)]

bro who cares if the item is bad play with it if you want to, its your game

[dwinters62]

It's a decent item if you are Samson.

On a serious note, shard of glass isn't too special. Sure, there is an argument for Tainted Maggie, but there's also a counter argument. Tainted Maggie already loses health down to two hearts, having health being lost beyond that isn't worth IMO. Endgame bosses also become a nightmare, since you can't get health to stop the bleeding. Overall, it has uses, but the backlash can be too hard to justify the pros.

that's why you get heart drops from taking damage? what? is this scenario supposed to be an itemless tainted maggie with base health and shard of glass during delirium?

why does everyone see shard of glass as an item that ONLY bleeds you out? do they not see the blood bullets? do they not see the heart drops that can make you break even on health?

[kuriba]

ok, serious note here: shard of glass has a bleeding effect that could be negated by Maggy's yum heart. Ye sure you get bullets out, cool and ♥♥♥♥ but oh god, I do not run head first into battle without a boner.

It's also negated by the hearts that will drop every time you kill an enemy. Just need the Wafer, Mom's Locket or Maggy's Bow by Womb and only bosses matter (and even then Blue Baby is getting bodied).

birthright is useful on more than a single character, plus in the next update all the other characters will get benefits too.
shard of glass is probably staying as is, ie. useless and detrimental in the vast majority of situations

[TheZWolf]

it saved me on void bc he kept dropping tons of hearts

[JellyPuff]

The most obvious synergy is T.Maggy. But it's still more or less just a situational "You got 1 or 2 red-hearts but mostly soul/black hearts but now you can at least make some use of red-health pickups"-item.

IMO 25% chance for red-heart upon taking damage on it's own would be too good, especially with how common Old Bandage is now. There are always heart generators too, like Little C.H.A.D. (though i haven't run into C.H.A.D. outside of boss rush in ages) and Glass Jar and Moving Box have more reasons to exist.

Still, they should've went this item being a guarantee (or almost one) when breaking the mirror on the alt-path, like they might have originally planned. Seemingly bad items are the best, when you can make them consistently appear in runs.

[Simoko]

Yeah, until the game decides it won't drop anymore hearts for the next 2 floors.

[Spicybullfrog]

its a good item for paying out sacrifice rooms and blood banks and such but the blood shots arent worth the downside and very rarely it will just bleed you out and delete all your health for absolutely zero benefit. the chance for shard of glass to remove 4 full red hearts after getting hit is about 10%.
