I just had the most insane Lost run to beat Beast, but not in "Wow everything dies when I look at it way." No, I had literally the safest Lost run I could have. Bot Fly, Psy Fly, Dry Baby, Dead Cat, BFFs. I only got Psy Fly from a Key bum payout on the Ascent no less. I still died 4 times during the Beast fight but I have never had an easier Dogma fight.

I just don't have most of the problems with Jacob and Esau that many seem to have. I think the worst thing with them for me is the awkward controls for dropping your cards/trinkets. And of course the separation on the Beast fight is not good. But since I finished the game I've been running them to see if I was just crazy or not and I am fairly strong run after run--have won Alt path, True Path, Light path and Dark path almost consecutively(used Esau Jr not knowing about the bug and ruined a probable alt-path win). Didn't have anything that I'd call overpowered during these runs and didn't use any donation machine money. There are definitely a few drawbacks but overall the strengths of this character outweigh the drawbacks for me big time.

Mr. Locke posted:It's not a 'huge liability.' You take two extra damage once during the fight and it's only really bad in Hush/Delirium because they're bugged as gently caress and it's impossible to hang onto the glass cannon intact reliably because sometimes they just go 'lol' and slap you without chance to avoid it. Yeah the way the wiki worded the penalty is wrong as hell. You don't take 2 full hearts of damage every time you take damage, it's just once and you're just stuck with the broken cannon for 4 rooms. And the initial damage can't kill you unless the hit you took would have killed you without having Glass Cannon in your inventory. It's in a far better place than after its initial nerf back in the AB era. Psychedelicatessen posted:Damocles has become a must take after I watched a youtube vid about the item and noticed that it sometimes took hours before the sword fell. The chance is so stupid small that even without extra lives, it's a great pick It's a lot stronger than in Antibirth because each instance of damage you took there increased its chance of falling. It's fixed at 1/10000 after the first hit no matter what in Repentance.

Like people said, a great offense is a great defense. The shorter fights last, the less time you have to make mistakes. And as long as you play well enough (or just don't get unlucky from a bullshit setup), Glass Cannon will more than likely pay for itself by eliminating so many damage opportunities that the penalty you might eventually take (5 or 6 points of damage) will be outweighed by the power boost it gives. And even if you do take damage, you at least get the Anemic effect for that room so it's not nothing. You definitely want an HP buffer for it but it's definitely in a far different state from its limp Afterbirth incarnation which was basically "usable by the Lost only". Everyone knows Tech.5 is a great item but just how great is it? Well it actually has a fire rate of 15 times per second, but it only has a 1/6 chance of firing each time. This means on average it amounts to +2.5 extra attacks per second, which is great. If you find it as your first item, congrats on basically doubling your DPS. (In addition to the piercing infinite range laser). Even at the softcap of 5 tears per second, it still essentially amounts to 50% more DPS. And on high damage, low fire rate builds (Eve's Mascera or Polyphemus), it really shines. Less great on Soy Milk builds but it's still extra unconditional damage, which is always welcome.

The wiki wording got me at first too, but it's technically correct, just confusing. You do take 2 full hearts of damage when you're holding glass cannon, it's just that once that happens it turns into an entirely different item with its own ID, "Broken Glass Cannon".

Honestly after the mega buff Damocles got, I've pretty much taken it (On runs where I'm not trying to farm Angel Rooms) unless it's like an unlocking run I'm absolutely desperate to get done. Or I'm playing as The Losts where the penalty doesn't matter. On more chill runs a loss is just "whatever" and more often than not it's a pretty reliable invisible time limit, though sheer bouts of bad luck can happen and just end the run right there. The sheer amount of power it funnels into you is pretty swell. Tried out a run with both it and Sacred Orb from the get go and that got absurd fast.  Being a fixed chance instead of making it more likely to just instantly die for every mistake you make makes it a lot easier to swallow, where Antibirth's version basically demanded you have an extra life or play absolutely perfectly. Granted if I'm playing as a character I absolutely hate for unlock runs, no way I'm taking it without safety measures. No need to introduce an extra risk when the deck is already pretty stacked against them. EDIT: Antibirth's version was a 1 in 1000 chance to kill you.  Yeah uh, not worth taking holy poo poo. 10x more likely to kill you than in Repentance, and just gets worse with each hit (So 20x more likely, then 30x more likely, etc.)

Man, I just had the most hilarious run as the ghost going for Mother because the game was not tired of throwing out every god item in the game (Dead Cat in the first curse room, Cricket Head, Sacred Heart + Trisagion, Magic Mush, Godhead, Psy Fly). But to top it off, I end up in a Devil Room with Succubus and I go "gently caress it, I'm stacked and maybe I'll see new items for once. Thing is, I also had Staircase. Next Staircase had Eucharisty, which overrides taking a deal and guarantees Angel Rooms. (I won't be surprised they nerf it, extra angel items at only 15 cents is broken af).Also, I did find a bug where entering the Staircase room with Star of Bethelem causes the star to despawn, which kinda sucked cause 12.5 fire rate and like 60-120 damage damage would have been hilarious.

Is 1,001% progress tracked via steam achievements rather than the in game stats or something? It just popped for me the first time after picking up Pay To Play (lol), but I reset my save when Repentance came out and definitely haven't collected every item in this save.

I’m pretty sure 1001% and Million% only look at the number of achievements/items you have gotten, not the specific ones you have. So if you’ve unlocked 276 achievements and collected 436 items you’ll get 1001% even if you’ve never even touched The Lost. Augus fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Jun 7, 2021 |

All of a sudden I haven't been able to get any completion marks. I managed to get boss rush, hush, and delirium in one run but only got the first two completion marks and haven't been able to get any since. Win streak won't update either. Tried validating steam files, nothing. Any ideas? This is a huge bummer rn

Doing my hard mode Tainted Lost checkmarks and ended up with both Chaos Card and R Key, plus a crazy loadout that included Sacred Heart, tears below the cap, 30+ damage, etc. The only question was what to kill with my Chaos Card and what to kill after using R Key. Decide to kill Hush with the Chaos Card. Went as planned and finished the Chest. Considered fighting Mega Satan because the build was OP (also had a shot at Delirium) but decided I didn't want to ignore the R Key, so I used that to reset the run. Figured I'd kill Mother so I could clear out those floors and be done with that path. Two Holy Mantle cards in reserve and every boss died in less than a second. Got to Ashpit and nicked a spike rock near the doorway. By the time I heard the Holy Mantle activate, I took the second hit and was dead. Hate this game sometimes.

I died during Delirium's death animation just now as Jacob and Esau. Brimstone is the power up I identify with the most because after stuff like that happens I, too, wish to vomit blood in a high velocity arc.

 Thanks for the free Ipecac! Notice the Cricket's Body. This was all on the first floor. I also got Host Hat, Stop Watch, and Compound Fracture later on. Hush and Delirium were pushovers.
