Clicker

**Clicker** is an activated item added in *The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth †*.

## Effect

* Transforms Isaac into a random character and removes the last item collected (not including Clicker) or gulped trinket.
	+ All stat changes of the new character are applied.

## Notes

* Clicker can only transform Isaac into characters that have already been unlocked, along with  Dark Judas and  Lazarus Risen, who are counted as separate from  Judas and  Lazarus respectively.  The Forgotten and  The Soul,   Jacob and Esau,   Tainted Lazarus and   Dead Tainted Lazarus,   Tainted Forgotten and   Tainted Soul are all counted as inherently linked dual-characters.
* Non-tainted characters can only transform into other non-tainted characters, and tainted characters can only transform into other tainted characters.
	+ However,  allows a tainted character to become  ???, allowing the Clicker to transform them into other non-tainted characters. Note that there is no way for a non-tainted character to become a tainted character.
* It is possible for the Clicker to choose the same character as the one that is already being played as, making it seem like the item created no effect at all.
* Transforming into a new character does not grant Isaac the starting items of the new character unless they are inherent to the character. For example, transforming into  Cain does not grant .
* Changing characters can adversely affect health.
	+ All Red Heart containers will be lost, and all Bone Heart containers will be emptied when changing into  ???,   Dark Judas,   Tainted ???,   Tainted Judas, or   Tainted Forgotten. They will gain a Half Soul Heart if they would otherwise have no health.
	+ All health will be lost when changing into  The Lost. Changing from The Lost to any other character will leave them with a Half Soul Heart.
	+ Keeper will always start with 2 Coin Heart containers. Bone and Half Soul/Black Hearts will be rounded up to 1 or 2 filled coins. Red Hearts are not rounded, which allows him to have half Coin Hearts. Changing from Keeper to any other character will turn his Coin Hearts into Red Hearts.
		- All Red Heart containers are converted to Coin Heart containers when transforming into Keeper, with a minimum of 2 and up to a maximum of 3. Only red hearts will determine if the coin heart containers are filled or not, and Soul/Black hearts will be converted into blue flies. One coin heart container will be filled if he would otherwise have no health. Changing from Keeper to any other character will turn his Coin Hearts into Red Hearts.
	+ Changing into  The Forgotten will not affect  The Soul's health. Red Hearts are converted into Bone Hearts. Soul/Black Hearts will be lost. He will gain an empty Bone Heart if he would otherwise have no health.
	+ All soul hearts will be converted to soul charges when changing into  Bethany. She will gain one full Red Heart container if she would otherwise have no health. Changing from Bethany to any other character will convert her soul charges into soul hearts.
		- If Isaac only had empty heart containers before changing to Bethany, doing so kills her instantly.
	+ Heart Containers will be divided evenly and split up when changing into  Jacob and Esau. Changing from Jacob and Esau to any other character will leave them with Jacob and Esau's combined health.
* Activating Clicker typically only consumes passive items, but with , it can consume the item in the other activated item slot if that item was the most recently collected.
* Similarly to items such as  and , any completion marks obtained will correspond with the character the Clicker turns you into.
	+ Tainted Cain can craft the Clicker and other useful items and then use Clicker to change characters. In this way, runs started as Tainted Cain can be useful to complete other characters' completion marks, even when Tainted Cain's own completion marks are finished. Although Clicker will only turn tainted characters into other tainted characters, Tainted Cain can also craft  and die to become a non-tainted character and could then use the Clicker to change into other non-tainted characters.
* Removed items still count towards transformations.
* Changing into  Eden or   Tainted Eden will not use tokens. Additionally, (Tainted) Eden's base stats will be the same as Isaac's if he wasn't the character selected at the start of the run.
* Changing into  Jacob and Esau will randomly distribute items between the two. Changing from Jacob and Esau to any other character will leave them with Jacob and Esau's combined items. Changing into or from Jacob and Esau will drop the currently held consumables like pills, cards etc. on the floor, but will keep trinkets (if they were held by Jacob or any other character). Esau's trinkets will always be dropped on the ground when changing to a different character.
* Changing into  Tainted Isaac will remove every passive item except the 8 oldest items Isaac holds.
* Changing into  Tainted Lazarus will give every passive item to only one of the forms.
	+ Changing into  Dead Tainted Lazarus will remove the auto-swap affect.
	+ Changing from  Tainted Lazarus into another character will only keep the items of the form that used Clicker.
* Changing into a character who holds a pocket active and changing again without picking up another passive item will cause the clicker to remove the pocket active instead of a passive.
* If  was the last item to be picked up, Clicker will remove individual lives instead of the entire item.
* If  was the last item to be picked up, Clicker will only remove one fly at a time (including Pretty Flies obtained from pills and Slot Machines) instead of the entire item.

## Synergies

* +  as  Judas /  Dark Judas: Replaces the most recently acquired item with  instead of removing it. Birthright's effects will also change to that of the character transformed into.
* : Spawns a random wisp.

## Interactions

* : Isaac will transform twice and have the last two picked up items removed.
* : Stat upgrades given by removed items are retained, and the best stats of each character you turn into are retained, possibly creating some powerful characters, like Tainted Keeper with all the Berserk stats of Tainted Samson.

## Trivia

Clicker is a TV remote, and the static overlay when the item is used references when a channel is switched.
