Amber Horseshoe Balloon

Fall damage stops mattering, your jump clears far more than it should, and anything that hits you gets a face full of bees. The bees are damage you never have to aim, which suits a build that expects to take contact hits, and they punish enemies that crowd you rather than shoot you. The honey coating afterwards is a small regeneration window on top.

Every bee on hit item in the game shares one effect rather than adding to it. Running this alongside a Bee Cloak, a Honey Comb, a Stinger Necklace or a Sweetheart Necklace produces exactly the same swarm and the same honey duration as wearing one. Pick whichever combination gives the movement you want and spend the other slots elsewhere. The Hive Pack is the exception worth having, because it upgrades the bees themselves instead of trying to add more.

Jump height drops when you are submerged, so a shaft you can clear on land may not clear once it floods.
