How to fix low tear damage in Binding of Isaac

In The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth, low base tear damage can make late-game floors feel like a slog, forcing you to kite enemies endlessly. The Set Tear Damage (default = 3.5) modifier solves this by letting you directly customize your projectile power. Instead of relying on RNG for damage upgrades, you can instantly set your tear damage to a value that feels right. This ensures every shot counts, allowing you to clear rooms faster and focus on skillful dodging rather than waiting for enemies to die. It transforms the combat experience from frustratingly slow to dynamically empowering, giving you control over your build's core strength and making every run more enjoyable and efficient.
