My Reflection is a passive item.

Effects

• Isaac's tears travel a short distance, then reverse direction and return to Isaac.
  • The tears are constantly pulled towards Isaac; if Isaac moves after shooting, the tears will always return to him.
• +1.5 range.
• x1.6 shot speed multiplier.
• +1 tear height.

Interactions

• Anti-Gravity: The tears will slowly move towards Isaac instead of remaining stationary. Releasing the fire button will launch the tears as usual.
• Brimstone: Overrides My Reflection.
  • Makes the beam curve when moving. It has the same effect on Azazel's mini-brimstone and doubles the range.
  • The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
• Continuum: If tears cross the border of the room, they will move towards Isaac from their new position rather than crossing back across the border.
• Compound Fracture/ The Parasite/ Cricket's Body: Split tears will move towards Isaac.
• Dr. Fetus: Not recommended. The bombs will slide back towards Isaac after having reached a certain distance.
• Epic Fetus: Overrides My Reflection.
• Euthanasia: Needles from Euthanasia bursts will move towards Isaac.
• Flat Stone: Tears bounce away from and then back towards Isaac.
• Haemolacria: Range becomes extremely high, making Haemolacria tears follow Isaac for a long time before hitting the ground. Burst tears do not have a boomerang effect.
• Ipecac: Not recommended. The explosive tears will begin flying back towards Isaac after having reached a certain distance.
• Lachryphagy: Tears will move towards Isaac and can still be fed and burst. The bursted tears will also move towards Isaac.
• A Lump of Coal: The tears increase in damage as they are pulled towards Isaac.
• The Ludovico Technique: The tear will slowly move towards Isaac, and the shot speed increase allows the tear to be moved much faster.
• Mom's Knife: No effect, as the knife already has this effect.
• Revelation: The laser makes a thin loop in front of Isaac, and fires the normal laser backwards.
• Piercing tears: Despite the piercing effect, tears cannot damage the same enemy multiple times.
• Pop!: Tears can still bounce off of each other but will try to return to Isaac.
• Proptosis: At base tear size, tears disappear before they can return to Isaac.
• Rubber Cement: Isaac's tears will continually be pulled towards him, effectively reducing the chances that tears will bounce.
• Spoon Bender: If tears are close enough to an enemy, it will home in and damage them. If not, they will return to Isaac.
• Strange Attractor: Not recommended. While it may make it easier to hit enemies, it also makes it much easier for them to be attracted to Isaac, surrounding him.
• Technology: Overrides My Reflection.
  • Makes the beam curve when moving.
• Technology 2/ Tech.5: Tears return to character and the beams curve when moving.
• Tech X: Stat effects of My Reflection remain but the boomerang effect does not.
• Tiny Planet: The orbital tears will move faster to stay in orbit around Isaac, making aiming easier.
• Trisagion: Makes the beams much longer as they move away from and then back towards Isaac.
• Whip Worm: Further increases shot speed, making Isaac's tears travel much farther forward before returning to Isaac.

Trivia

• Isaac's appearance may be a reference to the anime Sailor Moon. The main character (Sailor Moon) has a crescent on her forehead and a secondary character (Sailor Neptune) uses a mirror as a source for her powers.
• The item's sprite and effect may be a reference to the urban myth that if someone breaks a mirror, they will have bad luck for 7 years - Isaac's bad luck comes in the form of having his tears return to him.
• This item is the only one to apply a multiplier to Isaac's shot speed, instead of a plain bonus.
• This item is used in Challenges #7 (Suicide King) and #15 (Slow Roll).
