-'''Status Effects''' are special effects that can be inflicted on an [[Monsters|enemy]] from a variety of sources, such as tears, [[Pickups#Bombs|bombs]], and [[Items|items]]. Each status effect has a colour and symbol/effect associated with them for easy identification. These colourations are not to be confused with [[Champion|champions]].

-|Burn
-|[[File:Burn_Effect.png|50px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies take 4 to 6 fire damage over time, like poison. Afflicted enemies will be tinted orange for the duration and have a fire symbol above them.
-{{dlc|a}} Afflicted enemies will sustain double Isaac's tear damage over time.
-|-
-|Charm
-|[[File:Charm_Effect.png|50px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies will temporarily fight on Isaac's side, running toward other enemies and damaging them. If no other enemies are in the room, a charmed enemy will instead run towards Isaac. (Charmed enemies can still hurt Isaac.) Afflicted enemies will be tinted pink for the duration and have a heart symbol above them. Most enemies with ranged attacks will not fire them.
-{{dlc|a+}} Charmed enemies will prioritize non-charmed enemies and won't target invincible enemies. Charmed [[Portal]]s will also spawn permanently-charmed enemies.
-|-
-|Confusion
-|[[File:Confusion_Effect.png|50px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies are slowed and walk around randomly. While confused, most non-boss enemies will be unable to attack. Afflicted enemies will be tinted pale gray and have stars above them.
-|-
-|Fear
-|[[File:Fear_Effect.png|50px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies are scared of Isaac and will run away from him. While scared, most non-boss enemies will be unable to attack or charge towards Isaac. Afflicted enemies will be tinted purple and have a skull symbol above them.
-|-
-|Petrified
-|[[File:Stop_Effect.png|50px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies are stopped in place. They cannot move or attack. Afflicted enemies will be shaded brown-gray, as if turned to stone (unless petrified by [[Midas' Touch]], in which case they will be shaded gold).
-|-
-|Poison
-|[[File:Poison_Effect.gif|50px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies sustain 4 to 6 damage over time. Afflicted enemies will be tinted green and have a bubbly effect surrounding them.
-{{dlc|a}} Afflicted enemies will sustain double Isaac's tear damage over time.
-|-
-|Slow
-|[[File:Slow_Effect.gif|50px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies are slowed down. Any projectiles they shoot will also be slowed down. Attacks that end when the enemy runs out of momentum, such as the charging attacks of [[Gurdy Jr.]] and [[Dingle]], will be vastly shortened in duration. Depending on the item that triggers the slow effect, afflicted enemies will be tinted black or white with a snail icon above them.
-|-
-|{{dlc|a}}<br>Shrink
-|[[File:Gaper.png|25px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies are shrunken and will run away from Isaac. Isaac can walk over shrunken enemies to kill them.
-|-
-|{{dlc|a+}}<br>Bleed
-|[[File:Bleed Effect.png|50px]]
-|style="text-align:left;" |Afflicted enemies take damage equal to 10% of their maximum health every 5 seconds.

-===Notes===
-* [[Host]]-type enemies will take burn and poison damage even if their skull is down, and all status effects can be applied by tears even if their skulls are down.

-=Tear Effects=
-{{DisambigMsg|Isaac's primary weapon|the attribute of the same name that governs rate of fire|Attributes|noalign = true}}
-'''Tear Effects''' modify the player character's primary weapon — tears. A few of the most common tear effects are listed below.
-==Homing Tears==
-Homing Tears slightly divert from their path and seek nearby enemies. The distance homing tears can travel is determined by the [[Attribute#Range|range]] stat.

-===Cards that grant homing tears===

-{{Item|I - The Magician|table}}
-}}
-==Piercing Tears==
-Piercing tears travel through enemies (but not obstacles) instead of breaking on impact with them. While they do not directly increase damage, piercing tears can allow the character to deal a greater amount of damage per second due to the multiple impact calculations on large [[bosses]] and the possibility to hit multiple enemies at once.<br/>
-The downside of piercing tears is that they remove [[knockback]].

-==Spectral Tears==
-Spectral tears travel through obstacles (but not enemies) instead of breaking on impact with them. Spectral tears can be used to safely dispatch most types of [[Monsters|monsters]] from behind obstacles, or over them in combination with [[Flight|flying]].

-=Temporary Buffs=
-'''Temporary buffs''' are beneficial effects applied to the player character that will expire after a timed duration or on leaving a room, and are not tear effects.
-==Invulnerability==
-Invulnerability negates all types of damage for five seconds, including health loss from [[Blood Donation Machine]]s and [[Beggar#Devil_Beggar|Devil Beggars]], environmental hazards like [[Spikes|spikes]], and [[Curse Room]]s doors and [[Sacrifice Room]]s, but '''does not''' prevent heart container or Soul Heart loss from [[Pills|Health Down Pills]], [[Devil Room]] deals, or spawning a [[Babies|baby]].<br />
-While under the effects of invulnerability, the character has increased speed, loses the ability to shoot tears, flashes in multiple colors, and the music of the game speeds up. However, all invulnerability-granting items except for the [[Unicorn Stump]] also grant the character the ability to damage enemies by contact for the duration of the effect.

-==Shield==
-A shield negates all types of damage for a variable amount of time, depending on the item it's granted by, including health loss from [[Blood Donation Machine]]s and [[Beggar#Devil_Beggar|Devil Beggars]], environmental hazards like [[Spikes|spikes]], and [[Curse Room]]s doors and [[Sacrifice Room]]s, but '''does not''' prevent heart container or Soul Heart loss from [[Pills|Health Down Pills]], [[Devil Room]] deals, or spawning a [[Babies|baby]].<br />
-Unlike [[Effects#Invulnerability|invulnerability]], the shield does not prevent the character from attacking.
