Tech X

Tech X is an active item in The Binding of Isaac, introduced in the Afterbirth+ expansion. It replaces Isaac's tears with a charged laser ring that expands outward when released. The ring can be held to increase its size and damage, then released to sweep through entire rooms with piercing, continuous energy. Its combination of raw power, crowd control, and visual spectacle makes it a perennial favorite among players who enjoy obliterating everything in their path.

Reader's Guide

Tech X is an active item that replaces Isaac's tears with a charged laser ring. The player can hold the fire button to charge the ring, increasing its size and damage. When released, the ring expands outward, piercing through enemies and obstacles. This makes it ideal for clearing crowded rooms or shredding bosses. The ring's size and damage scale with Isaac's damage stat, so any damage upgrade turns it into an even more devastating weapon. In practice, you'll want to time your charges carefully: a quick tap fires a small ring for single targets, while a full charge sweeps the room. Synergies with items that boost tear rate or damage can create powerful combinations.
