  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Character The Forgotten icon.pngThe Forgotten: Enemy shots may be reflected with melee attacks. The damage of the reflected shots depends on their size and properties, with standard enemy shots dealing 6 damage, champion and homing shots dealing 7 and explosive ones dealing 50.

  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Spirit SwordSpirit Sword: Sword swings reflect projectiles.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Almond MilkAlmond Milk: The random tear effects can allow more shots to be blocked, as effects such as (except in Rebirth and Afterbirth) Ouroboros WormOuroboros Worm, My ReflectionMy Reflection, and Tiny PlanetTiny Planet can cause tears to wander outside of the main stream of tears. However, this, in combination with the lower fire rate of Almond Milk compared to Soy Milk, makes Almond Milk slightly less effective than Soy Milk at blocking shots in the direction Isaac is shooting.
