Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki

(in Repentance)

Hypercoagulation is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects[]

  • After Isaac takes damage from an enemy or donates health, he drops a Red Heart that despawns after 1.5 seconds.
    • The heart dropped depends on the source: half-hearts of damage taken drop Half Red Hearts, and full hearts of damage taken drop full hearts.
    • The hearts will get launched out of Isaac with momentum, making them difficult to pick up.
    • If Isaac is firing tears as he gets hit, the heart will get launched in that direction.

Notes[]


Synergies[]

  • Blood Rights / Razor Blade: Damage taken to use the item also spawns hearts, reducing the cost of using them. The first usage of these items each room will spawn a full red heart.
  • Cancer / Percs! pill / The Wafer: Damage sources that spawn full red hearts will still spawn a full red heart despite the cost being reduced to half a heart.
  • Candy Heart / Immaculate Conception: The hearts will count toward gaining stat boosts/familiars.
  • Dull Razor: Can be used to spawn full red hearts for Isaac to pick up. Ideally, this should be done in a confined space so Isaac can easily pick up the heart.
  • Equality!Equality!: As long as Equality is active, all hearts spawned will be doubled and never disappear. Hearts remain on the ground even after the effect is no longer active.
  • Maggy's Bow: Doubles the healing received from the hearts spawned.
  • Magneto / Super MagnetSuper Magnet: Will immediately start pulling the dropped hearts to Isaac, breaking their momentum and making collection much easier.
  • Cambion Conception: By intentionally taking damage with something like a fire and grabbing the half-red hearts, Isaac can easily generate powerful familiars for free.
