Dizz posted:I really like bosses like Pin where they have an unexplained movement pattern and you can't tell where they're coming from because there's no indication where they're at until they burst from the floor at you. Not to ruin it for you, but if you hug the south wall, Pin will always charge at you from the north.

Magres posted:What does Guppy even do? I've never gotten him in WotL or Rebirth even though I've put 100+ hours in between the two of them Guppy is a lot easier to get in Rebirth because the items that can turn you into him have increased. I got Platinum God on WotL, and it was one of the last achievements I got, and I had to actively go looking for it. I accidentally turned into Guppy on, like, my 5th run in Rebirth. Curse rooms are your friend if you want Guppy, as they have red chests, which have a lot of Guppy items, and they'll also just spawn Guppy items straight-up. The new Guppy items are a lot easier to take in Rebirth. The collar and hairball don't require you to make any hard choices, they just add to your game. After that, Guppy's Tail is a good item as it boosts the number of gold chests. Dead cat is worthless unless you get it on the first floor. Guppy's paw is super situational, and I usually take it only if it's the third Guppy item I need.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Guppy's Paw is actually very good if you have a lot of heart containers. Quadruple health against the final boss is pretty significant. Does it run over the 12-heart limit? I could see it being really good if that's the case.

Infested Baby is the 2nd best familiar for sure, because those attack flies scale with your damage and he never stops producing them. If you have some other way of generating soul hearts, he might be the best.

IGgy IGsen posted:Why are you all hating on the cellar? It's not like it's a super difficult area that will wreck your poo poo. Unless I'm some kind of godlike Isaac player and the only one who can handle it. Which is something I greatly doubt. It's not that it wrecks you, but getting Devil/Angel rooms is key to getting a run going that will take you all the way to the endgame. Losing red hearts on the floor or in the boss fights prevent that. The Cellar doesn't outright destroy you, but you're a lot more likely to lose red hearts on the floor or get your soul heart reserve drained by the floor and have none left to protect you from the boss. Most of the runs where I get to Womb 2 and realize my build is too weak to do poo poo on the next floors, I haven't gotten many Devil/Angel deals.

dis astranagant posted:I have an Eden run that started with Krampus' Head, Mom's Lipstick and 1 red heart. First item room has the Satanic Bible. Which should I keep? I'd go with Satanic Bible. Having a source of sin hearts allows you to ditch your red hearts and make up for the damage you lose from not taking Krampus' Head.

So somebody earlier in the thread mentioned they were getting a crazy slowdown effect. I'm getting that now too (definitely not the computer), along with frequent crashing.

I'm disappointed they nerfed the one-heart challenge rooms. It was cool having a guaranteed item in that room that could bail you out of trouble or just be a high-risk pickup.

Will getting a bandage girl from monster manual and sharp plug count for the achievement? I got super lucky to get a meat boy legit. I just need bandage girl, a couple of the bullshit challenges that I've been putting off because they're no fun, and probably a few items to get platinum god.

Suicide King challenge. Picked up the thing that gives you "splash damage" which splits the shot into four smaller shots after it hits. Added Ring Worm as well for shits and giggles. I don't know how to make gifs, but let me assure you, it's hilarious.

Well, got everything but Bandage Girl. With the expanded item pool, breaking runs seem to be a lot harder to come by. I've played a lot and I've seen like, 5 D20s, and the other option seems to be ipecac + habit + pyro, which is a lot of items to stack up.

Anyone gotten the, I think, new 2 by 2 room with 4 rotating laser eyes in the middle around 4 magnets with 6 mom hands? It's the loving devil.

ThaumPenguin posted:Isn't Libra particularly nasty when it comes to balancing already high damage? Or am I misreading the wiki: Definitely. Damage is the best stat, but it's not as uber-important as it was in the original I think. I wouldn't mind Libra if it balanced out a high damage run by boosting speed and tears a lot, but I think it also distributes the points among the less worthwhile stats like shot speed, luck and health.

BJPaskoff posted:I just had an infinite Undefined run going that I ended after getting nothing but HP Ups. That was fun. A bit disappointing when my giant scythes got overwritten, but not as disappointing as knowing it's impossible to break the game any harder than I already did. It feels like certain things just "stick" when you're rerolling your whole character. Once you're lord of the flies, it's not going away. It doesn't seem like the HP ups go away either. I had a fun D100 game going the other day, but I ended up with a Cursed Eye/Soy Milk combination that would never go away. I think one or two rerolls with a dice room or something is the optimal play. Everytime I've rerolled into something insanely broken, it's been on the first or second.

I feel like I've gotten more Stevens then Godheads. I swear I've only gotten Godhead 2 or 3 times. I love how the Savior Mod has rooms that let you restart the Chest. Now I don't have to retire my awesome builds until I'm done marveling at them.

Alright, my favorite build yet. I've had more powerful ones, but this is just too fun. Linking because I don't know how to make a nongigantic gif. Seed is JH62 YVSF, although I wasn't exactly keeping notes, so I don't remember what I rolled when to get all this. The Chest loops at least 3 times. Edit: Oh yeah, Savior Modded though.
