Divine Intervention is an unlockable passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.

Effects

• Double tapping a fire key creates a Divine Shield that slowly moves in the chosen direction.
• The Divine Shield has a variety of effects.
  • Enemies are pushed back in the opposite direction, completely reversing their trajectory with some added momentum.
    • Enemies pushed into walls or obstacles take 10 + 2 * (floor - 1) damage and deal that same damage to other enemies they collide with.
  • Enemy tears are reflected, dealing damage back to enemies depending on the source of the tear.
    • The reflected projectiles deal 6 damage if they would've hurt Isaac for half a heart, and 7 for a full heart.
    • Reflected projectiles do not gain Tear effects from Isaac.
      • Explosive projectiles (e.g. from Gurgle) explode as normal, dealing as much damage they would've.
      • Projectiles that create other projectiles (e.g. Shady) can harm Isaac and be reflected.
      • Homing projectiles (e.g. from Psychic Horf) do not retain their homing effect after being reflected.
    • Can reflect:
      • Fire projectiles (e.g. from Mega Satan).
      • Obstacles thrown by Polty or Kineti, dealing a flat 35 damage.
    • Does not reflect:
      • Lines of fire (e.g. from Dragon Fly), but can reflect fireballs (e.g. from Crackle) and their lines of fire do not harm Isaac.
      • Projectiles from Big Bony, Coal Boy, Danny.
  • Enemy Brimstone lasers are reflected, dealing 7 damage per tick (105 damage per second) to enemies hit by the reflection. It can even deflect the colossal brimstone laser fired by The Beast.
    • White beams, such as those used by Dogma in its second phase, are reflected into Revelation beams.
• The shield lasts 1 second, and has a cooldown of 3 seconds.
• This item belongs to the Seraphim set. Collecting three items from this set will transform Isaac into an angel.

Notes

• If any charged item is obtained along with Divine Intervention e.g. Brimstone or Revelation, a different fire key may be pressed to put out the shield without forfeiting the charge of said item.

Interactions

• Divine Intervention: Multiple copies of this item (from effects such as Diplopia or Crooked Penny) have no effect aside from being counted for Seraphim.
