Effects[]

Notes[]

Synergies[]

  • (in Repentance) Azazel/Brimstone/Revelation/ Tainted Azazel/Technology: The laser continues behind Isaac and back once again, potentially hitting enemies twice in one blast.
  • (except in Repentance) Bob's Rotten Head: Bob's Rotten Head can travel through walls and appear out of the opposite wall.
    • (in Repentance) Does not travel through the wall; instead bounces off it like with Rubber Cement.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) 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.
    • (except in Repentance) Tech X + Incubus: Incubus's laser rings cannot go through walls. This applies to Lilith too.
    • (in Repentance) Tech X + Incubus: Laser rings travel through walls and continue on the other side of the room.
  • Tractor Beam: Causes the tears to loop right back in front of Isaac after they go offscreen.

Interactions[]

  • (except in Repentance) Brimstone: Overrides Continuum, stat effects apply.
  • (in Afterbirth †) Compound Fracture: Tears will only split when hitting obstacles or enemies but not walls.
    • (in Repentance) 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.
  • (except in Repentance) The Parasite: Tears will only split when hitting obstacles or enemies but not walls.
    • (in Repentance) 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.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) 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.
