My Shadow is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.
Effects[]
- Upon taking damage, inflicts fear on all enemies in the room.
- Upon taking damage, spawns a dark friendly
Charger
The Chargers deal 5 damage per hit to enemies.
The Chargers deal 8.7 damage per hit to enemies.
- Isaac keeps the chargers when transitioning between rooms.
Notes[]
If this item is triggered in the
Flooded Caves, there is a chance that the black charger will be replaced by a
Drowned Charger. The summoned Drowned Charger will behave like normal black chargers, and upon death will explode into 4 blood shots that do not damage the player.
- Shadows of incoming attacks from above will be harder to see, as they're covered by the item's shadow initially.
- This item can only spawn a maximum of 5 chargers.
Interactions[]
BFFS!: No effect.
Box of Friends: No effect.
Eraser: Erasing a
Charger will prevent all newly created friendly Chargers from spawning, rendering the item useless. The item spawns a normal Charger before changing it to the special My Shadow variant.
Ghost Bombs /
Purgatory: Explosions from the ghosts can and will kill the chargers.
Friendly monster[]

The dark friendly chargers act like normal chargers and will charge at enemies when they have a chance. They will attack enemies until they run out of hp either from contact with enemies or hazards (e.g. spikes or Fire Place).
Notes[]
- The allied chargers are affected by mass slowdown effects from items such as the
Stop Watch, granting the Shadow Chargers a disadvantage.
If Isaac has homing tears, they will home in on allied chargers.
- The allied chargers will take damage from any sort of explosion,
except from your own general explosions,
though certain synergies involving
Scatter Bombs may kill the Friendly charger.
With
Punching Bag, the allied chargers may attack the Punching Bag instead of enemies. It is recommended you don't take these two items together as they don't synergize well.
In-game Footage[]
Trivia[]
- This item's sprite looks similar to an upside-down version of
Judas' Shadow.
- This item's quote is a reference to the song "Me and My Shadow" by Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr.
