Host Hat is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effects

• Adds a 20% chance to block projectiles. When a projectile is effectively blocked, Isaac's Host Hat will fire 3 bullets similar to the Host's.
  • Bullets fired from Host Hat copy the effects of Isaac's tears.
• Grants immunity to explosions.

Notes

• Isaac becomes immune to Mom and Satan's stomp attacks, as they are considered explosions. This makes the item very valuable if trying to unlock the Forgotten, as it will protect Isaac from the effects of the Broken Shovel.
• No longer protects against stomp and shockwave.
• Does not protect against exploding mushrooms.
• This item is invaluable in Greedier Mode as nearly all of Ultra Greedier's attacks are considered explosions.

Synergies

• Dr. Fetus/ Ipecac: Isaac becomes immune to his explosives.
• Epic Fetus: Isaac becomes immune to his own airstrikes.
• Infamy: The chance to block projectiles is greatly increased.

Trivia

• Prior to Repentance, Host Hat's description was "Nice hat!"
