Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki

(except in Rebirth)

Spider Mod is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effects[]

  • Spawns a grey spider familiar that wanders around and allows Isaac to see tear damage and the health bars of all enemies.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) This item belongs to the Spider BabySpider Baby set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into a humanoid spider.

Notes[]

  • (except in Repentance) For the sake of simplicity, all damage values shown are multiplied by 10 and rounded up to the nearest number.
    • (in Repentance) Damage values are no longer multiplied or rounded.
  • All stats effect damage dealt by Spider Mod is based on Isaac's damage stat.
  • Spider Mod reveals Mega Satan's health bar and is the only way to see his health.
  • Spider Mod shows the health of invincible enemies, holes created by Little Horn, and the golden statue of Ultra Greed.
  • Spider Mod doesn't show if a segmented enemy has individual segment health like Larry Jr. or a health pool like Chub. Against enemies with invulnerable segments such as Carrion Queen and Scolex, its indicators will not differentiate between damage dealt to invulnerable and vulnerable segments.
  • Spider Mod's damage doesn't account for enemy damage reduction or invulnerability, which means that the damage indicators for (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) Mushrooms, Stone Grimaces, and similar enemies will be inaccurate.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) If Isaac transforms into Spider BabySpider Baby, it spawns a spider familiar who works similarly to Spider Mod.

Synergies[]

  • BFFS!: Makes Spider Mod bigger and increases the chance for Spider Mod to spawn a battery or blue spider. No effect on stat effect damage.
  • Hive Mind: Makes Spider Mod bigger. Whether or not this impacts spawn chances or damage is unknown.

Trivia[]

  • This item is a reference to Spidermod, a modification to the original The Binding of Isaac, which was made by one of the lead Rebirth developers, Spider853. One feature of Spidermod was to show damage numbers onscreen.
