Changes: Incubus

Revision as of 15:16, 15 June 2022

Incubus is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effects

Spawns a demonic familiar that copies Isaac's tears.
- Incubus' tears ignores Isaac's range and shot speed.
- Incubus' damage is reduced by 25% when playing as characters other than Lilith and Tainted Lilith.

Notes

Lilith's starting Incubus is technically not a collected item but an intrinsic part of the character, and is removed if an item such as Ankh or Clicker are used to become a different character. As such, playing as Lilith will not add Incubus to the collection page, nor does her personal Incubus count towards the Template:Transf transformation.
Incubus is one of the familiars that can be spawned by Cambion Conception.
Incubus has the second highest priority of following familiars, below King Baby.
Template:Transf

Synergies

Azazel / Brimstone: Fires a full length Brimstone laser that can be charged while still firing the previous laser, allowing it to fire more rapidly than normal.
- The laser fired by Incubus has the same width as Lil Brimstone's.
- When playing as Azazel, Incubus' Brimstone laser has the same range as him.
Berserk! / The Forgotten / Spirit Sword: Incubus will carry the respective melee weapon, using it exactly like Isaac.
Forgotten Lullaby: Doubles fire rate of Incubus. This notably makes it fire and charge attack faster than Isaac does.

Interactions

Analog Stick: No effect. Stat changes still apply.
Cursed Eye: No effect.
- A burst of 3 tears is fired at the regular tear delay without needing to charge.
- Incubus now charges and fires a burst of 5 tears just as Isaac would.
Dead Eye: Only Isaac's tears affect the damage multiplier.
Epic Fetus: No effect.
Evil Eye: No effect.
Eye of Greed: No effect.
The Forgotten: Fires bone tears like Compound Fracture without the splitting effect. Reverts to normal tears when switching to The Soul.
Flat Stone: The effective range of Incubus' tears is roughly doubled, with a single bounce in the middle of the flight.
Guillotine: Incubus will fire tears in relative position to its body depending on where Isaac's head is currently.
Ghost Pepper: No effect.
Immaculate Heart: Incubus can create its own orbiting tears, which will orbit the Incubus that created it, and not Isaac.
Isaac's Tears: The item is recharged by Isaac's tears, not Incubus'. This item works with Lilith.
- Incubus' tears contribute to the item charge.
Kidney Stone: Incubus ignores the range down from this item, and will fire the tear barrage but not the stone.
- Incubus is still able to fire tears while Kidney Stone is charging.
Large Zit: No effect.
Loki's Horns: No effect.
The Ludovico Technique: Incubus' tears become piercing and spectral but otherwise fires normal tears.
Maw Of The Void: No effect. Stat changes still apply.
Marked: No effect. Stat changes still apply.
Mom's Eye: No effect.
Mongo Baby: Does not copy Incubus's tear effects.
My Reflection: Since Incubus ignores shot speed the tears turn back very quickly, greatly reducing effective range.
R U a Wizard?: No effect.
Tech.5: No effect.
Tech X: Incubus shoots small, fixed-size Tech X laser rings, with a very slightly longer minimum charge than Isaac.
Technology 2: No effect. Stat changes still apply.
- Incubus can fire laser as normal.
Tractor Beam: No effect. Stat changes still apply.
- Tractor Beam + Monstro's Lung: Tears now follow the beam.
- The Incubus tears will follow the beam.

Trivia

In folklore, incubi are evil spirits said to descend upon sleeping people, specifically ones fabled to have sexual intercourse with women during their sleep, or, more simply put, the male version of a succubus.

Seeds
