Araxxor posted:I really do not care for the Holy Mantle nerf at all. It's way too easy to get double tapped as The Lost with the reduced i-frames. Especially if you get smacked by a brimstone laser. Like 2 or 4 seconds of i-frames for blocking a 1 heart or 2 heart hit was pretty ridiculous before, but did it really have to be worse than half a heart of damage? Yeah it's bad No Wave posted:really? I think lazarus is a lot worse/weaker. The transformation effect is cool in terms of visual/noise design and how it pops but it's just a nasty resource check. you're doing the same basic thing (balancing items between two characters), but you're not dealing with having two hitboxes that can be moved independently, and flip lets you swap between them if necessary.

The biggest issue that tinted laz has is that you have to spread your items between the two, so you've perpetually got two weaker characters with active items that functionally charge half as fast as normal. At least with Jacob+Esau you've got more upfront fire power than normal and the ability to get multiple items from choice item rooms. There's no doubt that they're not an easy character, but they've got something interesting and unique going on even if it's painful to play sometimes, alt laz is just boring.

MOTHERFUCK! I got yet another great Keeper run going, nearly unlocked tainted and accidentally used a black rune in the room that had the Fool card. I'm seriously loving cursed. BUT! I learned that Soy Milk for Keeper is actually quite good. Not sure if it is something I'd take all the time but I don't think it is a run killer anymore.

watho posted:choked hard on the knife piece 2 chase as tainted keeper with swallowed penny and holy mantle One thing to remember, is the head will NEVER just collide into you. Try it! Just stand there and dare it to hit you. It won't until it charges. Knowing this makes the chase so so so much easier to not get nervous and lose a couple HP on. As long as you have one "square" to dodge to, you can avoid it every single time.

My one good gold trinket was Guppy's Drawing, since I scored it when I had Guppy's Tail already and it worked as advertised. It is fun to think of ways to effectively double or improve a trinket effect, so I'm sure something will come out early, which hopefully includes adding to the do-nothing Mom's Box interactions.

 This was the run that let me beat the chest and void. I hate this character so much you have no idea. Delerium took less than scratch damage so each brother was down to 1HP when Esau poo poo out a rainbow and full healed the both of them, then went back down to 1 heart while pleading 'come on please let me just have this victory please please please.'

Another Tainted Lazarus win!! This time on Light path and Mega Satan. drat it for not giving me a shot at Delirium. Not sure I would have won though. Man do his runs take a long time cause you are really trying to squeeze every thing out of every floor. Epic Fetus in a secret room did the trick. I kind of enjoy the character though I have to be in the right mood to do it. Same with Tainted Eden though I enjoy that less even when I am in the mood.

It's real hard for me to get stuff and then lose it like that--knocks me out of the "flow" of things. I never even liked to reroll runs back when it was stronger for that same reason.

I’ve asked this question before but I can’t find my post. How is the Switch version of this game? I understand it doesn’t have the newest DLC yet, but since it will be out later in the year, is it worth picking up the switch version? I haven’t played BoI since the original, flash-based Steam version but I liked that.

It's great, I never noticed any performance problems outside of gamebreaking runs that would give the PC version performance problems. The joycons are still my favorite control method for the game by a pretty good margin. The portability is nice, if you care about that. That said not having the big new expansion until some undetermined point in the future is a significant mark against it. But it's still a massive amount of new stuff if you haven't played since the flash version so you might not mind.

Even if I end up buying the last expansion as a stand alone game (thanks Switch release model!) for sixty or seventy dollars later this year that will just balance out the fact that I played the original for like 100 hours after buying it for $5 on sale.

It's permanently doubled for the entire fight. Inzombiac posted:MOTHERFUCK! Yeah they did 2 things to buff it big time. The reduced knockback is a ton of help. Soy Milk is barely a DPS up as your first item. It's at most a 10% DPS increase with base Isaac stats as your first item, but in practice you knocked enemies all over the place so that landing every tear before Repentance was a herculean task. They also made it so that the tears cap can go beyond 15 tears per second now, which is a big buff to it since you can benefit from tears up increases. I wouldn't say it's a must have, but it'll benefit a lot more builds more easily now. I ended up shredding the Beast with it and enough damage and tears ups. It's also super broken with Godhead where its aura deals set damage now. Almond Milk is still my favorite of the milk items, and my favorite item period from Repentance. It's far from the most powerful item, but it just guarantees a fun time for me.

Rolled random for another tainted run and got...Tainted Lazarus again. I thought about rerolling cause I just played him but figured I'd go to the first item room to see. Which was Adrenaline...good enough to keep me going. Wasn't an overpowered run but managed to get myself a True Ending victory(with an awesome unlock) and a two-win streak with Tainted Lazarus! Last fight was tight because first form Dogma spammed his stupid beam attack over and over and over again and messed up my Adrenaline-fueled Live Lazarus. Was down to 1.5 hearts on one and 2 hearts on the other as I got to Death...but perfected the rest of the fight!! Luckily didn't see any falling stalactites against Beast but was prepared to flip if I got hit. Man that was probably the first time I ever dodged through those skulls against Death without getting hit with no invincibility help or anything. Maybe the most dialed in I've been playing repentance.

I'd like to give a big thank you to Bumbo for helping kill phase 1 Dogma by parking his rear end right on the TV. I'd also like to give a big gently caress you to Bumbo for doing basically gently caress all to help kill phase 2 Dogma because he didn't move his rear end off the broken TV, not sure if he was stuck or his AI broke. He did throw out some bombs occasionally but that did not help a whole lot.

Also you can easily cheese at least 1 payout from it if you know it spawned on the floor by picking it up after you're done with the floor. If anything the really terrible payout is beating Mega Satan with Tainted Lost. I have no idea what the hell the benefits from that one could possibly be. Save that one for last if you can. Last thing you need is a detriment ruining a potential Tainted Lost or other challenge character run. Araxxor fucked around with this message at 02:11 on May 3, 2021 |

Had a great run yesterday using the tainted Jacob exploit, finished most of the hard mode marks. Today was the compete opposite, boss rush and hush were the two things I was aiming for and I think I got there once. I've taken to using dark esau to wipe out early rooms because gently caress slogging through giant rooms filled with flies and no damage boosts. I did find stitches and found you can enter (and leave) curse rooms without damage.

Okay yeah lesson learned, I'm not taking Mars anymore. For fights that require precise positioning (Which is nearly all the final bosses in the game) when you're playing on a keyboard, it's game ruining. Had an Eve run that went fantastic then died at Ultra Death because I accidentally dashed into a scythe. Along with all the other times I accidentally dashed into an obstacle. On the other hand, Eye of the Occult is loving amazing. I was skeptical of it at fist but being able to redirect missed shots really helps keep up your DPS. I'm honestly not sure if I really agree with the "gently caress devil rooms" meta. Like angel rooms are really good, and I do think devil rooms got overnerfed and could use a bit of a buff, but a couple of won runs happened when I took some amazing devil deals.

I think Devil Rooms are in a decent place. It's not like old Isaac where you'd often take a useless devil deal just to make sure you can trigger The Polaroid but there's a lot of decent items that are situationally worth picking up, and a couple of run winners that it's worth looking for. I don't think skipping the first devil room is worth it (assuming a non-Mega Satan path) unless there's some reason you're very unlikely to take any deal.
