Trivia

• Heart of Ichor is a reference to China, a character from the Fiend Folio MOD, and its design elements share similarities to the items Heart of China and Heartache.
  • Heart of China's original effect and likeness was meant to be included in Retribution, having been designed long before the mod's initial release for The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
    • When it was decided that Tainted Mammon would be cut from the initial release of Retribution for Repentance, Heart of China was instead added to Fiend Folio: Reheated with an entirely new effect.
      • Heart of China's original effect for Retribution was subsequently repurposed in the Burned Out update into Heart of Ichor.
    • Heart of China was included in Fiend Folio to settle an issue regarding the strength of the cut Shard of China trinket from Fiend Folio's initial Afterbirth+ release.
      • Shard of China's original effect was split into 2, with Shard of China retaining its Damage-gaining property, while Heart of China now reimplements its Health-gaining property.
