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

• Homing tears: The finger laser does not become homing.
• A Lump of Coal: No effect on the finger's damage.
