Effects

    • (except in Rebirth) Projectiles are also deflected.
      • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Enemies pushed into walls or obstacles take 10 + 2 * (floor - 1) damage.
      • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The deflected projectiles deal 6 damage if they would've hurt Isaac for half a heart, and 7 for a full heart.

Notes

  • (in Afterbirth †) If Isaac swaps Butter Bean for a different active item, then picks up Butter Bean again, it has a 10% chance to transform into Wait What?Wait What?.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) When a run is started, the game has a 5% chance to replace Butter Bean with Wait What?Wait What? in item pools. Both items are generally not available in the same run.
