Host Hat

Effects

• Adds a 20% chance to block projectiles. When a projectile is effectively blocked, Isaac's Host Hat will fire 3 bullets similar to the (Host) Host's.
  • Bullets fired from Host Hat copy the effects of Isaac's tears.
• Grants immunity to explosions.
  • (Added in Repentance) Grants immunity to bullets falling from above.

Notes

• Does not protect against exploding mushrooms.
• (Removed in Repentance) Isaac becomes immune to (Mom) Mom and (Satan) Satan's stomp attacks, as they are considered explosions. This makes the item very valuable if trying to unlock (The Forgotten) The Forgotten, as it will protect Isaac from the effects of the (Added in Afterbirth †) Broken Shovel.
• (Removed in Repentance) This item is invaluable in Greedier Mode as nearly all of Ultra Greedier's attacks are considered explosions.
• One of only two items that grant full immunity to explosive damage, the other being Pyromaniac.

Synergies

• Dr. Fetus / Ipecac: Isaac becomes immune to his explosives.
• Epic Fetus: Isaac becomes immune to his own airstrikes.
• Infamy: The chance to block projectiles is greatly increased.
