A Pony

From The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A Pony is an unlockable activated item.

Effects

  • Passively gives flight whether it has charges or not.
  • If Isaac's speed is less than 1.5, passively increases his speed to 1.5.
  • Upon use, Isaac charges in the direction the pony is facing, giving invincibility during the charge and dealing contact damage to enemies.
    • (except in Repentance) The dash deals 40 flat contact damage to enemies.
    • Invincibility granted by dashing will not prevent Isaac from being damaged by Blood Donation Machine.pngBlood Donation Machines, Devil Beggar.pngDevil Beggars, and similar self-damage active items (when holding (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Schoolbag icon.pngSchoolbag).
    • (in Repentance) The dash deals 4 times Isaac's damage, plus a flat 28 damage.
    • (in Repentance) Isaac can dash through doors, which means that damage from Curse RoomCurse Room doors can be avoided.
      • The dash persists through rooms, and lasts up to the length of 2 normal rooms unless Isaac collides with a closed door/wall.
        • This allows Isaac to enter and exit curse rooms for free, provided the dash is activated to give invincibility before charging through the exit.
        • Caution should be taken when dashing into rooms that have not been explored, as some room layouts have Blood Donation Machine.pngBlood Donation Machines or Devil Beggar.pngDevil Beggars, which Isaac may dash into and get damaged.

Notes

Synergies

  • (in Repentance)Collectible Book of Virtues icon.pngBook of Virtues: Spawns wisps in the middle ring, looking like "A Pony". The wisps charge in the direction Isaac shoots instead of firing tears. While charging, the wisps deal contact damage equal to 40% of Isaac's damage per tick (120% of Isaac's damage per second) and are immune to damage. Wisps must wait 2.5 seconds after hitting a wall before they can charge again. The wisps deal their normal contact damage while not charging.
  • (in Repentance)Collectible Mars icon.pngMars: Lowers the dash cooldown to approximately 1 second.

Interactions

  • (except in Rebirth)Collectible Car Battery icon.pngCar Battery: No effect.
  • Collectible Taurus icon.pngTaurus / Collectible Thunder Thighs icon.pngThunder Thighs: The speed decreases from the items can lower Isaac's speed past 1.50 (making the new lower speed limits 1.20 and 1.10, respectively). Having both items can lower the minimum speed to 0.80.
