(except in Rebirth and Afterbirth)

Finger! is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †.

Effect

  • Spawns a floating finger familiar that can be aimed with the fire buttons in all directions.
    • The finger fires invisible spectral lasers, doing 10% of Isaac's Damage. The lasers fire 10 times per second and are not affected by Isaac's tear rate.
    • The lasers have thickness based on Isaac's Damage, making it easier to inflict damage on higher Damage.
    • While not being aimed with the fire buttons, the finger points in the direction of movement or downwards if standing still.
  • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) The Finger!'s lasers can apply Isaac's Tear effects, which makes status effects trigger very often.

Notes

  • Finger! will fire in the exact direction it's pointed, meaning it can be fired diagonally, or at any angle, if using a controller - the same effect as Collectible Analog Stick icon.pngAnalog Stick.
  • The beam can be used to destroy TNT.pngTNT (among other destructible obstacles).
  • The Finger! does not do contact damage.

Synergies

  • Collectible Box of Friends icon.pngBox of Friends: Adds another finger on top of the previous one, effectively doubling its damage.
  • Finger!: Multiple fingers will stack on top of each other and move simultaneously, effectively boosting the damage of the original one.
    • Having too many fingers can cause the game to lag.
  • GuppyGuppy: Flies are generated from the damage the finger does.
  • Collectible Ipecac icon.pngIpecac: The finger gains massive damage boost as expected.
    • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) The finger can poison enemies.
  • Collectible Proptosis icon.pngProptosis:
    • (except in Repentance and Repentance+) Almost doubles the finger's damage as expected. Has no damage penalty with range.
    • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Triples the finger's damage, but does not affect its lasers' thickness. Has no penalty with range.

  • Collectible Marked icon.pngMarked: While actively aiming, the finger behaves as normal and while fire keys are not pressed, it points towards the targeting crosshair.
  • Collectible Trinity Shield icon.pngTrinity Shield: When not firing, the finger will point towards the nearest cardinal direction as to where the shield is left. This favors the vertical directions when the shield is at a 45° angle.
