(except in Rebirth)

Tech X is a passive item added in The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth.

Effect

  • Isaac's tears are replaced with ring-shaped lasers.
    • Shots can be charged to increase the size of the rings.
    • Only the outer circumference of the rings will deal damage.
    • Rings pass through obstacles and enemies.
    • Rings have infinite range and will travel until they hit a wall.

Notes

  • The rings are similar in appearance to the combination of Collectible The Ludovico Technique iconThe Ludovico Technique and Collectible Technology iconTechnology.
  • The laser rings will linger for a brief moment upon touching a wall, allowing more damage to be dealt to enemies closer to walls.
  • The "R U A WIZARD?" pill effect does not work with Tech X.
  • Charging only increases size, not damage. It is useful for hard-to-hit enemies or hitting a wide area at once, but spamming small, uncharged shots will lead to much higher damage output.
    • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) With the charge bars option enabled, the rings can be released immediately as the charge bar appears for easier gauging of maximum damage output.

Synergies

  • 20/20: Fires two Tech X rings instead of one.
  • Collectible Brimstone iconBrimstone: Fires a brimstone circle instead of a tech circle.
    • Azazel: Picking up Brimstone will still override Tech X. When you pick up Tech X as Azazel with his inherited Brimstone, Tech X does nothing at all.
      • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) As Azazel, Brimstone no longer overrides Tech X, instead Tech X overrides Azazel's Brimstone.
    • Brimstone + Collectible Technology iconTechnology: The damage boost from Brimstone+Technology is lost, but the laser fires while charging the brimstone ring.
  • Collectible Dr. Fetus iconDr. Fetus: Overrides the charging effect, but shoots a laser ring with a bomb in the middle.
  • Collectible Epic Fetus iconEpic Fetus: Each missile shoots 10 laser beams like from Collectible Technology iconTechnology in each direction, similar to Tammy's Head.
  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Haemolacria iconHaemolacria: Haemolacria tears will burst into 3-5 Tech X rings on impact.
  • Collectible Mom's Knife iconMom's Knife: Simultaneously fires the knife and laser ring(s).
  • Collectible Monstro's Lung iconMonstro's Lung: Extra laser rings with different sizes depending on how long Isaac charges it are fired, will increase charge time.
  • Collectible Spoon Bender iconSpoon Bender: While the rings won't home in on enemies, they will bend inwards to hit enemies within each ring, resulting in a substantial damage area increase.
  • Collectible Strange Attractor iconStrange Attractor: Magnetic effect pulls pickups and objects to the edge of the ring, increasing accuracy.
  • Collectible Technology iconTechnology/Collectible Tech.5 iconTech.5: Equips both laser systems.
  • Wiggle WormWiggle Worm: Replaces the outer laser ring with a star-shaped oval, slightly increasing its area of effect.

  • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Apple! iconApple!: Only tears up applies, without a chance of high-damage rings.

  • Collectible Chocolate Milk iconChocolate Milk: Doesn't increase damage, but reduces Isaac's tear delay by 20%.
  • Collectible Continuum iconContinuum + Collectible Incubus iconIncubus: Incubus's laser rings cannot go through walls.
  • Collectible Cricket's Body iconCricket's Body/Collectible The Parasite iconThe Parasite/(in Afterbirth † and Repentance)Collectible Compound Fracture iconCompound Fracture: Only stat effects, if any, apply.

  • Collectible Holy Light iconHoly Light: Overridden by Tech X.
  • Collectible Ipecac iconIpecac: Overridden by Tech X. Lose the damage bonus given by Ipecac on next room. Still poisons enemies like Ipecac does.
    • (in Afterbirth † and Repentance) +4 damage and poisons enemies.
  • Collectible Incubus iconIncubus: The rings fired by the Incubus have a fixed size; charging the ring will only increase the size of the player's own rings.
