Changes: Trisagion

Revision as of 22:08, 16 May 2021

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

Effects

Tears are replaced with piercing white blasts of light.
- Blasts deal 33% of the regular tear damage but can hit the same enemy multiple times.
- Blasts decrease in size until disappearing.
  - Despite the blasts decreasing in size after passing through obstacles, this is aesthetic as the blast will only damage enemies adjacent to the obstacle.
- Blasts do not knockback enemies.

Notes

Since the blasts can strike one enemy multiple times, low shot speed can be very beneficial whereas high shot speed may lower effective damage.
- Walking backward while firing can allow tears to move slower, making it useful for increasing damage output.

Synergies

8 Inch Nails / Blister / Pisces: Adds knockback to blasts, which can not only significantly repel enemies when used correctly, it can deal a high amount of damage to enemies unable to escape the knockback.
Chocolate Milk: Fully charged Trisagion blasts deal 4 times more damage, exceeding Isaac's tear damage.
Cricket's Body: Constantly shoots tears in cardinal directions during its travel time.
Evil Eye: Eyes will fire beams. Occasionally causes Trisagion beams to stay static in the air for a few seconds, dealing damage to enemies that come in contact with them.
Godhead: Although the damaging aura isn't visible, it still exists and is not affected by Trisagion's damage reduction.
Guppy: As it hits multiple times, it spawns multiple flies per tear making it very strong.
Haemolacria: Both Trisagion and Haemolacria fire at the same time, Isaac's tears do not keep the spectral attribute despite the sprite being changed. The tears keeps its piercing effect.
Homing tears: Tears slow down and stay on top of the enemy, doing continuous damage.
Ipecac: Beams will now travel through obstacles and maintain their piercing effect dealing 33% of regular damage to enemies they come in contact with, but won't explode on hit. The Ipecac explosion will happen once the beam runs out of range or hits a wall and will deal damage equal to Isaac's damage.
- Keeps Ipecac's stats but shoots a constantly exploding Trisagion beam. There is no way to avoid being hit from the explosion, since the shot immediately explodes. This makes the synergy useless and a disadvantage unless Pyromaniac is used.
The Ludovico Technique: The beam becomes controllable, still dealing reduced damage but at a very high rate.
My Reflection: In addition to the usual effect, lengthens the Trisagion blasts into short flexible beams for a much larger damage-dealing area.
Mysterious Liquid: Causes a large trail of creep. The effect stacks, which causes heavy damage (even to Hush).
The Parasite: Two sideways blasts accompany the beam, effectively increasing horizontal range.
Pop! Every damage tick will shoot out a Pop tear. Trisagion shots will also hover in the air longer than normal.
Proptosis: Base damage is doubled and beam damage is boosted to about 65%. Blasts lose no power as they travel further, though the tips of the blasts deal very slightly less damage.
Spirit Sword: The sword will shoot Trisagion beams instead of energy beams, with the Trisagion beams having increased damage.

Interactions

Azazel: Azazel's short-range Brimstone overrides Trisagion.
Brimstone: Overrides Trisagion.
Compound Fracture: Split blasts are not generated on hitting enemies, only on obstacles and walls.
Cricket's Body: Split blasts are not generated on hitting enemies, only on obstacles, walls, and the floor.
Dead Eye: Overridden by Trisagion.
Dr. Fetus: Overrides Trisagion.
Epic Fetus: Overrides Trisagion.
Eye of Belial: Overridden by Trisagion.
Euthanasia: Overridden by Trisagion.
Fire Mind: Tears still ignite enemies, but no longer have a chance to explode.
Flat Stone: Blasts continually disappear and reappear as they "bounce". The bounces deal 25% splash damage based on Isaac's base rating, but the blasts cannot do their damage while they're disappearing, leading to an overall reduced efficiency.
Holy Light: Overridden by Trisagion.
- Blasts can apply Holy Light, with a light beam being generated on each damage tick, dealing Isaac's tear damage per beam (three times Trisagion's damage).
Jacob's Ladder: Electric arcs are not generated on hitting enemies, only on obstacles and walls.
- Small electric arcs generate from the blast every tick
Lachryphagy: The blasts will slow down and float like Lachryphagy tears and eventually burst, but can not consume each other.
- Blasts have greatly reduced range, but constantly generates Lachryphagy tears, with one shot alone being capable of bursting a tear.
A Lump of Coal: Nearly no effect; increases damage by around 5% when the hit is dealt by the tip of the blast.
- A Lump of Coal + My Reflection: As the beam is longer, the amount of extra damage at the tip can be up to around 50%.
Mom's Knife: Overrides Trisagion.
Multidimensional Baby: The baby cannot duplicate Trisagion blasts.
Nose Goblin: Overridden by Trisagion.
Ocular Rift: Creates multiple rifts on the blast's trajectory.
The Parasite: Split blasts are not generated on hitting enemies, only on obstacles and walls.
Parasitoid: Overridden by Trisagion.
Playdough Cookie: Rather than applying the effect to each individual tear, all beams will share the same color and change simultaneously every tick.
Pop!: The blasts will slow down and float like Pop! tears, but will not bounce off each other.
Sinus Infection: Overridden by Trisagion.
Tech X: Overrides Trisagion.
Technology: Overrides Trisagion.
Technology Zero: Unless Isaac has shooting familiars, Technology Zero will not function. Familiars' tears will be connected to the blasts with electricity, however.
