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.
- 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.
