Hidden Attributes

Damage refers to the amount of damage each tear deals to enemies, and is represented by a sword. As damage increases, the size of the tears increases as well. However, tear size is not always a direct indication of how much damage tears will do; for example, items like Dead Onion and Tropicamide increase tear size without increasing damage. Tears will grow and shrink when damage changes, but tears of a certain size do not have a specific damage value, and two tears of the same size (in two different runs) are likely to have different damage values.

Effective Damage

The formula for damage is:

$$\color{white}\mathit{EffectiveDamage} = \mathit{CharBaseDmg} \times \sqrt{\mathit{TotalDmgUps} \times 1.2 + 1} + \mathit{FlatDmgUps}$$

where:

• CharBaseDmg = The character's base damage multiplied by their multiplier,
• TotalDmgUps = the total of all regular damage ups collected (not including special exceptions or damage multipliers),
• FlatDmgUps = the total of all damage ups that are excluded from the above (for example, Curved Horn or Ipecac), and
• EffectiveDmg = the approximate damage that can be expected per tear, or per 'tick' when using Brimstone or Technology 2.

This formula makes most damage upgrades less potent the more that Isaac has. For example, a Pentagram (+1 Damage) on Isaac would make his total damage 3.5 × (1 × 1.2 + 1)^0.5 = 3.5 × 1.48 = 5.19. Another Pentagram (+1+1) increases this to 6.45 (a 1.26 increase instead of a 1.69 increase). The higher a character's base damage, the more effective damage ups will be for that character. Flat damage modifiers and special adjustments like Polyphemus or Sacred Heart happen after the main formula.

Character Modifier

The character base damage is defined by a base number and a multiplier.

• Eve^† and Tainted Magdalene: 0.75 × 3.50 = 2.625
• Jacob^‡: 1.00 × 3.50 - 0.75 = 2.75
• Isaac, Magdalene, Samson, Lazarus, Eden, Lilith, The Lost, Apollyon, The Soul, Bethany, Tainted Isaac, Tainted Judas, Tainted ???, Tainted Samson, Tainted Lazarus, Tainted Eden, Tainted Lilith, Tainted Keeper, Tainted Apollyon, Tainted Bethany, and Tainted Jacob: 1.00 × 3.50 = 3.50
• ???: 1.05 × 3.50 = 3.675
• Esau^‡: 1.00 × 3.50 + 0.25 = 3.75
• Keeper, Cain, Tainted Cain, Tainted Eve, and Lazarus Risen: 1.20 × 3.50 = 4.20
• Judas: 1.35 × 3.50 = 4.725
• Azazel, The Forgotten, Tainted Azazel, Tainted Forgotten, and Dead Tainted Lazarus: 1.50 × 3.50 = 5.25
• Lazarus Risen: 1.40 × 3.50 = 4.90 (+0.5 damage after each death, 6.20 effective damage on the first death)
• Tainted Lost: 1.30 × 3.50 = 4.55
• Dark Judas: 2 × 3.50 = 7.00

^†: Whore of Babylon has the unique effect of increasing Eve's damage modifier from 0.75 to 1.00 when active. This does not apply to other characters, however.
^‡: Jacob and Esau have -0.75 and +0.25 flat damage, respectively: their base damage, as far as the damage formula is considered, is still 3.5 with a 1.0 multiplier.

Damage Multipliers

Some items multiply damage rather than simply adding to it. Damage multipliers (not to be confused with the aforementioned character-inherent base multiplier) do not simply multiply the character's damage once; the damage stat is constantly recalculated and the damage multipliers are multiplied with the end result. This means that if a character starts with 3.50 damage and gets a 2× multiplier, their effective damage will be 3.5×2 = 7.00. If an item that grants +1 damage is picked up, the character's effective damage will be 3.5×(1×1.2+1)^0.5×2 = 3.5×(2.2)^0.5×2 = 3.5×1.48×2 = 10.38, and not 7.00 + 1.

Most damage multipliers stack. For example, Proptosis and Eve's Mascara both provide a 2× multiplier; picking up both will give a total multiplier of 4×. The exception to this is the 1.5× damage multipliers provided by Cricket's Head, Magic Mushroom, and the combination of Blood of the Martyr and The Book of Belial. These multipliers do not stack; for example, picking up both Cricket's Head and Magic Mushroom will result in an overall 1.5× multiplier rather than the expected 2.25×. Some damage multipliers may be applied to certain flat damage increases, while others will not; see the section on the order in which damage multipliers and flat damage are applied for more information.

Reverse Formula

Consequently, the reverse formula to determine your damage bonuses from the displayed value is

$$\color{white}\mathit{Bonus} = \frac{1}{1.2}\left[\left(\frac{\mathit{EffectiveDamage}/\mathit{Multipliers} - \mathit{FlatDmgUps}}{\mathit{CharBaseDmg}}\right)^2 - 1\right]$$

Multipliers is the product of all damage multipliers in effect.

Haemolacria	5.100.531		I'm seeing red...	Tears are now fired in an arc. Upon hitting the floor, an obstacle, or an enemy, they burst into many smaller tears in all directions. Increases tear delay.	4
Hallowed Ground	5.100.543		Portable sanctuary	Spawns a white poop familiar, which turns into a White Poop when Isaac is hurt. White poop has an aura that increases tear fire rate and can block enemy shots. The aura also increases damage by 20% and gives homing.	1
Immaculate Heart	5.100.573		Halo of tears	Adds one Red Heart Container and fully restores health. x1.2 damage multiplier. Isaac will occasionally fire extra tears that orbit around him.	3
Star of Bethlehem	5.100.651		Follow the light	Spawns a star familiar that slowly travels towards the Boss Room, giving an aura that increases damage and tears and grants homing tears.	3

Character-specific damage multipliers:

• Eve + Whore of Babylon - Raises her damage multiplier from 0.75× to 1× while the whore effect is active. (It does not have this effect for any other character.)
• Judas + The Book of Belial + Birthright + Damocles - 1.4× damage multiplier while the Damocles effect is active.
• Dying with Judas' Shadow transforms the player into Dark Judas, who has a 2× damage multiplier, which is the highest character-based damage multiplier in the game.

Synergy-specific damage multipliers:

• The Book of Belial + Blood of the Martyr - 1.5× damage multiplier. (The multiplier is shared with Cricket's Head and Magic Mushroom.)
• Brimstone + Brimstone - 1.2× damage multiplier.
• Brimstone + Technology - 1.5× damage multiplier.

Random Multiplier

Name	ID	Icon	Quote	Description	Quality
D8	5.100.406		Reroll stats	Re-rolls Isaac's damage, tears, range, and speed.	2

Negative Multiplier

Name	ID	Icon	Quote	Description	Quality
20/20	5.100.245		Double shot	Isaac fires two tears at once, one from each eye. 0.8× damage multiplier.	4
Odd Mushroom	5.100.120		Tears + speed up, DMG down	+1.7 tears, +0.3 speed, slightly reduces damage.	2
Soy Milk	5.100.330		DMG down + tears way up	Tears are smaller and do much less damage, but fire in very rapid succession.	2
Almond Milk	5.100.561		DMG down + tears up + you feel nutty	Quadruples fire rate, with ×0.3 damage multiplier. Each tear is given a random effect that alters its movement.	1
Technology 2	5.100.152		Extra laser	Replaces the tears fired from Isaac's right eye with a rapid-firing low damage piercing laser. Damage down.	2

• Note that Odd Mushroom is not a "real" damage multiplier in that it only affects the increases from other items. For example, if you only had Eve's Mascara for a 2× damage multiplier and nothing else, then Odd Mushroom would only grant a flat -0.4 damage (because nothing would be multiplied by 0.9).
