Midas' Touch

Midas' Touch is a passive item.

Effects

• Upon contact with enemies, deals damage equal to the number of coins Isaac has.
  • Damage is dealt up to twice per second per enemy.
• Freezes and turns enemies into gold upon contact with Isaac.
  • Enemies killed while in this state will drop 1-4 pennies.

Notes

• With Midas' Touch, some effects that create poop may instead create golden poop (see Synergies for details).
• When used against Mom, Mom's foot can usually be hit and will be turned into gold without the player taking damage.
• When used against Satan, Satan's foot will be turned into gold and receive a lot of damage.
• When used against Ultra Greed, his armor will be partially impaired to a 25% efficiency.
• Spawning Multiplayer Babies while the player has Midas' Touch will give the Midas' Touch effects (freeze on touch + damage) to the baby itself. This can be abused, considering the baby's invincibility frames upon spawning:
  • Spawn the baby using the Enter key. It is invicible for a short period of time.
  • During this period, stay in contact with enemies to freeze them and damage them.
• This can be used to gather 99 coins very quickly, and in turn, deal massive damage with Midas' Touch damage component.
