Synergies

 * On very long runs, this item can be useful for, , and , since enemies will be so powerful that being in melee range is dangerous. However, on a normal-length run, the Visions of Heresy are a downgrade for these Survivors.
 * Hungering Gaze also removes Loader's main way to activate her passive. Gather other items to make up for the lost survivability.
 * On Survivors with primary attacks that have high fire rates and/or many projectiles, such as, and , Hungering Gaze is a direct downgrade due to its recharge cooldown.
 * On, replacing her primary with Hungering Gaze is generally better when holding a lot of on-hit items, such as, and more of a toss-up when holding none.
 * The only case when replacing Artificer's primary could be detrimental is when the from  is contributing to a, or is being boosted by.
 * As with most items, Visions of Heresy will affect turret s as well as himself. This means that Engineer can use Hungering Gaze instead of the clunky, and his turrets will also gain Hungering Gaze. This increases Engineer's damage output as well as his turrets', making it an all-around excellent choice.
 * Because Hungering Gaze has a cooldown, attack speed items a re effectively useless for it. Bonus attack speed does increase the rate at which the 12 bullets are fired, but will not modify the cooldown at all, resulting in the same damage output in both cases.
 * The only way attack speed can be relevant to Hungering Gaze is with cooldown resets, such as the and . However, this is such a niche interaction that it is generally better to simply forgo attack speed altogether.
