Wax Wing is a passive item added in the initial release of Retribution.

Effects

• +0.6 tears.
• +0.3 speed.
• +2 luck.
• 1.35× damage multiplier.
• Grants flight.
• All of the above bonuses are removed upon taking damage and Isaac is teleported to the starting room of the floor.
  • Sources of self-damage such as File:Blood Donation Machine.png Blood Donation Machines, Curse Room doors, and Sacrifice Room spikes will not break Wax Wing.
  • Wax Wing is regenerated when entering a new floor, and its stat changes are restored.
  • When taking damage in a Boss Room, Isaac is instead teleported to the entry door and the fight is not interrupted.

Interactions

• Wax Wing: Adds additional stats while the wings are intact, but does not provide additional hits before the wings are broken.
• Wax Feather: Restores Wax Wing and its bonuses immediately on pickup.
• Pitch Feather: Restores Wax Wing (if it had been lost) and converts Isaac's wings into Pitch Wings, which act as a shield to protect Wax Wings from 1 hit of damage without breaking.
• Black Candle: When entering a new room, so long as Wax Wing hasn't been broken, Pitch Wings will be granted.
• Icarus: While sunburned, intact Wax or Pitch Wings will leave a trail of slowing creep.
• Icarus + Birthright: All of Wax Wing's stat increases have doubled strength.
  • For 1 copy of Wax Wing, this means the following stat changes are now granted:
    • +1.2 tears.
    • +0.6 speed.
    • +4 luck.
    • 1.8225× damage multiplier (1.35^2).

Trivia
