The Lost struggles with greed mode and mega Satan, but outside of that I think he's the strongest character. 'Get hit no more than once a room' isn't that much of a challenge, and flight and spectral tears are as powerful a defensive combination as you can get. Add on the ability to take every devil deal so that you're almost guaranteed to be an offensive powerhouse, and I can't remember the last time I had a Lost run that wasn't horribly broken. Though sometimes you do just get unlucky in a way you can't with the other characters.

I think it jams less in Greedier, but also jam chance is per character, so while that sounds very unlucky you'll have better luck not using one character to do it all.

Is anyone else having issues with the holy mantle not refreshing? It's taking two room transitions instead of one for me to come back. Playing on Linux, fwiw.

Id be comfortable saying holy mantle is the strongest item in the game. gently caress this Delirium / Greedier with the lost though. gently caress Greedier in general.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Keeper gets bonus money and a massive amount of effective HP in Greedier Mode, so it's not too bad. Lost is harder but you at least get a bunch of devil deals and can stop the waves at any point you feel in danger for free. It's fine until you get to Ultra Greed, but Ultra Greed is just a slog.

Lost + holy mantel is the strongest character I feel. Not getting hit twice in a room isn't the biggest ask, and getting to take every devil deal is such a huge power boost, though finding the goat head makes a big difference here. Except of course when it was bugged and holy mantel didn't always refresh between rooms.

It's very nice for Lost, but I've never felt that flight / ladder are anywhere near as important as in Issac 1. In that game they're nigh-essential, in this one its more just annoying when I forget I don't have them and run into a wall, but I don't feel hindered by their abscence.

I said it before, I'll say it again, EtG is a bullet hell masquerading as a twin stick, Nuclear Throne is a twin stick, and Issac is some weird dual d-pad thing with some design cues lifted from Zelda 1. I couldn't get into EtG, whereas I quite enjoy NT even if I haven't beaten it, and clearly I love me some Issac. I think the problem I have with EtG is that the format makes we want to play it like it's not a bullet hell, when it very much is. Or maybe I just don't like bullet hells.

Better, but iirc not as good as a no-hit. Much like all the bad items that proc on taking damage, don't get hit. A 33% chance is no where near as good ad the 100% that you can get from not taking damage vs the boss.

Magdalene is tough, being slow is one of the worst things possible and an extra heart and a nifty-but-not-amazing held item in no way compensate. But it's just variance. Not taking pills is probably the right play, but it's also a boring one.

The game is some degree of easier if you only unlock the good runes. I didn't do it on purpose but when half your runes are Jera it's very nice.

Boss rush takes some hustle, you can hit Hush playing reasonably thoroughly but it can be close if your damage isn't there. Hush itself doesn't need the best setup to beat, it's mostly about learning the patterns.

PostNouveau posted:It's not too tough to beat. You may want to do it underpowered a few times just to learn the patterns. I mean it's a slog more in that an OP build will take like 90 seconds and it could be like 10 goddamn minutes with a regular build. This, is a perfectly fair point. Though I think I've only had one or two runs broken enough to completely overwhelm Hush's damage reduction.

Ultra Hard? More like Ultra Chump. Book of Rev + Judas's Shadow on floor one, kidney stone floor 2 carried me through mom, picked up brimstone after and tore through the rest. That was tedious.

The secret there is that greed mode just isn't good. And runs of bad luck happen, but mostly the former.

Just had a real nice Keeper run with loads of defense (Mask, Shield, Piggy bank) and good attack, but I was 3 minutes too slow for Hush and no Void portal spawned after. I got all the completion marks before afterbirth+, so all I've got left to Keep on is Delirium and Ultra Greedier.

Despite being a shameless nard sucker, Keeper is pretty good with tech x. Get to Delerium no problem, take damage as soon as he spawns, grab a coin, he turns into mama gurdy, get hit by the spikes, he turns into mom, get hit by the explosion before the foot lands. Fight didn't even last 30 seconds.

As has been discussed at length, the swallowed penny doesn't make Keeper invincible. The swallowed penny and greeds gullet does though. That's every completion mark and challenge done, now just 13 items away from 1001% that I probably won't bother with. Thanks for inspiring me to come back to the game Wildtortilla, I thought I was done with it but there was still plenty of fun to be had.
