  • With Angry BulletsAngry Bullets , bullets will continue to grow when deflected off an enemy.
  • Followers that inherit bullet upgrades such as Ser JunkanSer Junkan 's Angelic Knight form or the Phoenix follower granted by the Phoenix Up synergy have the potential to one-shot bosses with Snowballets, seemingly because they can fire while the boss intro cutscene is playing.

  • The "sole scarf in the Gungeon" mentioned to in the description might refer to the Bloodied ScarfBloodied Scarf , as it is the only item called a scarf in the game.
