Decap Attack is an unlockable activated item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

  • Throws Isaac's head while allowing to shoot from the spot it lands, blocking enemy shots as well as dealing contact damage to nearby enemies. Meanwhile, Isaac's body can no longer shoot tears.
    • The head does 24 damage on impact and 4 damage per tick (12 damage per second) on contact when it's on the ground.
    • The head can return by picking it up with the body, or by using the item again without requiring charges. Both the throwing and retaking of the head can deal damage to enemies passing through.

Interactions
