PSA: Avoid

[Cryten]

Monstroes Lung and Soy Milk.

They both ruin perfectly good runs. Both make your dps go down:
* Monstroes Lung by making you take long enough to shoot about 10 tears to do about 2-3 tears worth of damage or about 4-5 tears at point blank. It does have good synergy with large damage up items but these items will yield better result without the lung.
* Soy Milk cuts your damage by about a 1/8th and increases your tear rate by about 4 times, over all net down. But you might say, such fast tear rate would undoubtly be broken with jsut a few upgrades? Sadly the soy milk tears have really strong knockback so you will barely land concistent amounts of tears. Even against bosses who cant eb knocked around your doing less damage then if you just skipped the soy milk.

I know Im just venting but its a good idea to aviod these two shot modifiers. You lose your precious free special upgrade and net a damage down out of it. Especially soy milk can just ruin a really good run by making you unable to consistently land your shots. You need a broken run to make those two work.

Monstro's lung has some very good synergies, and is actually really good on its own as well.


But Soi milk is just awful

[Athéri System]

Both items are good with the right synergies.

soy ipecac and monstro's lung ipecac are both fun runs

[Gas Lightyear]

Monstro's lung + Proptosis = Fun

I love soy milk along and monsto's lung!!!... not together but they are both great power-ups! imagine shielded tears and soymilk? never have to worry about bullets ever again! and monstro's lung well... it just makes any shoot a wall of destruction so I don't see why anyone would complain about that one...

Monstroes Lung is extremely strong. Combine it with something like chocolate milk and you are 1 shotting bosses.

Soy milk needs the right items to become good. It fix firing sped at max, so it goes really well with items that reduce your shotspeed like poly/quad. It also goes very well with tear status effect like fear/charm/poison as you can keep it constantly applied. Also items that increase damage outside multiplier is really effective, items such as blood clot and judas horn and coal. Not forgeting libra with attemps to balace your stats, which increases your damage significantly but fails to reduce firing speed as soy milk fix it at max.

Monstro's lung is a great item.
Soy milk really depends, a good example is that if you get it with brimstone then its terrible, its also kinda meh on itsown

[i am god]

Soy milk + libra = win.

[Riucario~]

Had a nice run with SoyMilk once.
Got items in THIS order:
SoyMilk, Pentagram, JesusJuice, The Halo, Magic Mushroom, Crickets Head, Lump Of Coal.
The run was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ OP. The Firerate and the DMG was maxed.

If you get soymilk first (And I mean, FIRST first), it can be good, cause damage can only drop so far. Then after that, if you start getting some dmg ups, you can get a pretty nice machine gun going.

[ChaosSabre]

Soy milk can be good if you got status tears. If you have mom's contacts it's hillarious how often you get to freeze stuff. The only item I feel that'll do more harm than good is bob's brain.
