Continuum is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.
Effects[]
- Grants spectral tears.
- When tears travel off-screen, they loop back around through the opposite wall.
+2.25 range.
+3 range.
+1.5 tear falling speed.
Notes[]
When fighting The Beast tears will not loop downward like you see in a Crawl Space.
Synergies[]
Azazel/Brimstone/Revelation/ Tainted Azazel/Technology: The laser continues behind Isaac and back once again, potentially hitting enemies twice in one blast.
Bob's Rotten Head: Bob's Rotten Head can travel through walls and appear out of the opposite wall.
Does not travel through the wall; instead bounces off it like with Rubber Cement.
The Forgotten: The skeleton form's charge attack can loop through walls.
- A Lump of Coal: Tears will continually gain damage when passing through walls.
- Mom's Knife: Causes Mom's Knife to appear on the opposite wall if thrown through one. It then returns through the wall to Isaac.
- Mom's Knife + Brimstone: The barrage of knives flies across the room until it hits the wall twice.
- My Reflection: When shooting through a wall, tears speed up towards Isaac rather than returning through the original wall. With enough shot speed and range the tears can loop twice.
- Tech X: Laser rings will go through walls, extra distance depending on shot speed.
- Tractor Beam: Causes the tears to loop right back in front of Isaac after they go offscreen.
Interactions[]
Brimstone: Overrides Continuum, stat effects apply.
Compound Fracture: Tears will only split when hitting obstacles or enemies but not walls.
Tears will split on contact with walls. Only one split will occur on contact with walls and objects.
- Dr. Fetus: Bombs cannot go through walls, but are spectral.
- Epic Fetus/Rubber Cement: Overrides Continuum, stat effects apply.
- The Ludovico Technique: When the tear is moved offscreen, it loops back through the opposite wall.
The Parasite: Tears will only split when hitting obstacles or enemies but not walls.
Tears will split on contact with walls. Only one split will occur on contact with walls and objects.
- Proptosis: Tears shrink while traveling through walls and often disappear before they can reappear on the other side.
Technology Zero: Tears will travel through walls; however, the electricity will not connect the tears while they are outside the room. Once tears have passed through walls, the electric arcs connect very erratically to other tears.
- Tiny Planet: Tears that travel through walls will travel until they reach Isaac and start orbiting him again.
