Tech X

{{:{{{1}}} | {{{1}}} | {{{2}}} }}

**Tech X** is a passive item added in Afterbirth.

## Effects

* Isaac's tears are replaced with laser rings.
	+ Shots can be charged to increase the size of the rings.
	+ Only the outer circumference of the rings will deal damage.

## Notes

* The rings are similar in appearance to the combination of The Ludovico Technique and Technology.
* 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.

## Synergies

* 20/20 - Shoots two rings instead of one.
* A Lump of Coal - Damage and size of the ring increases the further away it is from the player.
* Brimstone - Fire 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 normal Brimstone, Tech X does nothing at all.
	+ This combination does not work with Lilith and her Incubus, which may be a bug.
* Continuum - The ring will go over the wall and come out the opposite one.
* Diplopia - Picking up 2 copies of Tech X will cause two rings to fire instead of one, similar to the 20/20 effect.
* Dr. Fetus - Shoots a laser ring with a bomb in the middle. Overrides the charging effect, replacing it with normal firing mode. Sometimes killed enemies will drop black hearts.
* Epic Fetus - Each missile shoots 10 laser beams like from Technology in each direction, similar to Tammy's Head.
* Eve's Mascara - Laser rings move slower, increasing damage as enemies spend more time in the laser. Rings also appear thicker.
* Lazy Worm - Slows the ring, increasing damage as enemies spend more time in the laser.
* Lost Contact - The rings have a chance to block enemy shots.
* Maw of the Void - If charged for long enough, a cross-shaped marker will appear on the goggles and the black aura will activate upon release of the attack keys.
* Mom's Eyeshadow - Adds the charm effect to the laser ring.
* Mom's Knife - Simultaneously fires the knife and laser ring(s).
	+ Mom's Knife + Incubus: Allows the Incubus to fire laser rings as fast as the player can press and release the fire button.
* Monstro's Lung - Extra laser rings with different sizes depending on how long Isaac charges it are fired, will increase charge time.
* Mutant Spider - Shoots four rings instead of one.
* Pupula Duplex - Increases the size of the rings.
* Soy Milk - Charges up extremely quickly, almost as fast as you can press the button. Greatly reduces damage per ring. (Tendonitis warning!)
* Spoon 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.
* Technology - Equips both laser systems.
* The Inner Eye - Shoots three rings instead of one.
* Wiggle Worm - Replaces the outer laser ring with a star-shaped oval, slightly increasing its area of effect.
