Punching Bag

Template:ItemTable

Punching Bag is a passive item.

Effect

• Spawns a Mulligan familiar that walks around the room and acts as a decoy for monsters.
• If the monsters are closer to the decoy than Isaac, they will attack the decoy.
• Punching Bag will also block enemy shots.
• Template:Afterbirth Punching Bag will die after taking too much damage and then respawn after a long period of time. Exiting and continuing the run will cause it to reappear right away.

Notes

• It is not predictable whether enemies will attack the Punching bag or Isaac, so it is still advised to treat every attack as if it were aimed at Isaac.
• Template:Afterbirth The Punching Bag will die instantly by enemies' beam-type attacks, such as Brimstone or by Uriel's and Gabriel's beam. This also includes enemies' Technology lasers such as Eye and Camillo Jr.

Interactions

• Box of Friends: Adds another Punching Bag. This may cause enemies to become unpredictable, so use with caution.
  • If the Punching Bag has died, it can be forced to respawn with a double upon using the Box of Friends.

Trivia

• Template:Afterbirth This item is used in Challenge #30 (The Guardian).
