Finger! is a passive item added in Afterbirth †.

Effect

• Grants Isaac 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 normal damage. The laser fires continuously.
  • While not being aimed with the fire buttons, the finger points in the direction of movement or downwards if standing still.

Notes

• The Finger!'s lasers can apply Isaac's tear effects, which makes status effects trigger very often.
• 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 Analog Stick.
• Be careful when using this item. The beam can be used to destroy TNT (among other destructible obstacles), which will damage Isaac if he stands too close to an explosion.
• The Finger! can do damage to enemies through obstacles and other enemies.
• The Finger! does not do contact damage.

Synergies

• Box of Friends: Adds another finger on top of the previous one so its hard to notice.

• Fire Mind: Finger will apply burning damage to enemies.
• Guppy: Flies are generated from the damage the finger does.

• Mom's Contacts: The finger has a chance to freeze any enemies it's pointing at.

Interactions

• BFFS!: Increases finger's size, however, does not increase finger's damage.
• Godhead: Only increases damage.
• Homing tears: The finger laser does not become homing.
• A Lump of Coal: No effect on the finger's damage.
• Magic Mushroom: Only minorly increases finger's damage. The damage multiplier still applies.
• Marked: While actively aiming, the finger behaves as normal and while fire keys are not pressed, it points towards the targeting crosshair.
• Trinity 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.
• Trisagion: No effect on finger's damage.
