Holy Light is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.
Effects
- Isaac has a chance to fire a glowing blue tear that, after colliding with an enemy, spawns a damaging beam of light (similar to Crack the Sky).
- Each beam of light deals quadruple (4x) Isaac's tear damage.
- A single beam of light can damage multiple enemies.
Notes
- The chance to fire a holy tear depends on the Luck stat and maxes out at a 50% chance at 9 luck.
Synergies
- Angelic Prism: If Holy Light tears are split by prism, all four tears will have Holy Light effect; normal tears will not gain Holy Light after being split by a prism.
- Compound Fracture/Cricket's Body/The Parasite: Holy Light tears will have split tears with Holy Light effect; normal tears will not have split tears with Holy Light effect.
- Lachryphagy: If Holy Light tears feed normal tears, fed normal tears will not gain Holy Light effect; however if normal tears feed Holy Light tears, it will just increase the size of fed Holy Light tears.
- The Ludovico Technique: The controlled tear will sometimes glow and trigger the beam.
- Rubber Cement: Tears can still spawn beams of light after bouncing off an enemy, making it possible to spawn multiple beams from the same tear.
