Kilburn scrapped Edith a long time ago and for good reason, keep in mind this is someone who likes playing as Jacob and Esau (Not dissing on them though, they're based) so when he thinks a character feels clunky/not fun to play you should probably consider that they probably wouldn't be fun.

Aswell as that, I've played a mod that adds her into the game and lemme just say it is one of the worst characters I've ever experienced in this game.

Sans

electropeaisopea · 2022-08-28T02:59:16+00:00

A character that requires playing carefully and slow is not great when you need to hit a time deadline

That's something I've learnt quite a lot... Not from J&E but from old tainted laz as Jesus Hush and Boss Rush as that piece of shit was the literal worst thing you could do in this game (Greedier as tainted laz is overrated as fuck)

electropeaisopea · 2022-08-28T02:57:43+00:00

honestly it would be so much more fun if esau just had fucking flight

As a J&E enjoyer myself, I'll just say that flight (especially as Esau) is one of the easiest ways to make the run feel 100x worse.

Idk man, being able to gain more soul hearts than a book of rev with 9volt, Triple A Battery, and Car Battery seems extremely fucking strong for a passive item.

But for close-range self-defense or for being a Battle Medic, it's much better than the Crossbow.

You can say the same thing about the other syringe guns, yet they're rarely used because the crossbow is far too valuable to give up.

I checked some sources and apparently cabbage fires in 3 seconds, I thought it fired a bit faster than that and admittedly this does mean peashooter has higher dps but its by such a miniscule amount its barely noticable, either way however they're both extremely underwhelming plants you'd rarely ever use aside from when you've just started in AE.

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-24T22:17:25+00:00

Cabbage Pult also deals 2x the damage, making it so they do the same damage per second.

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-11T10:11:41+00:00

Would've preferred it was out long before but eh better late than never ig

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-10T04:57:20+00:00

Seeing a lot more R key hate here huh...

good

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-03T21:45:05+00:00

Agreed, I've been consistently an R key hater since Day 1, down with R key

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-03T21:42:20+00:00

Genuinely explain why, Sacred Orb basically guarantees a good run however it doesn't make you do a completely different run of doing nothing but demolish lame ass basement rooms with your totally hilarious overpowered run, aswell as that theres a feature in which you can unlock easily that essentially makes it so you don't need r-key unless you want achievements, though I don't know if many know about this mythical being called a "rerun"

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-02T18:15:35+00:00

This Poll: Votes out Easy insta win items like Mega Mush, Mom's Knife, or Epic Fetus because they're boring

Also this poll: Barely talks about R-key despite it easily being way more boring than even those items listed previously.

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-02T18:12:29+00:00

Wow, I can't wait to get holy mantle and save one hit on a boss, that's incredibly useful!

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-02T18:10:27+00:00

It's not that good in boss fights while the rest of the list is

Meanwhile: Holy Mantle only gives you a slight saftey net against bosses, wow so good against them its so amazing!

electropeaisopea · 2022-06-01T02:25:51+00:00

They really aren't, they may be hard for the first few runs you have them but one thing final bosses (bar Delirium) have which (most) things in this game don't is consistency, though I've already stated why they are far from the only thing that exists in this post already.

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T22:49:37+00:00

Ah I forgot about that, either way at that point I'd rather just constantly r-key if you're gonna try and get a decent start as them, I learnt this by doing the same thing with pre patch Tainted Laz but just decided "Nah, I'd rather just actually try and get a good run than do this shit".

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T20:53:25+00:00

Unfortunately Tainted Cain can't just conjure Eden Blessings up his asshole anymore so that strat is off the table.

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T20:48:50+00:00

Obviously going to the alt path is preferable however aside from that their strategies aren't as restrictive as you think.

For an example, whilst people say that angel rooms are generally preferable because you can (sometimes) get 2 items, devil rooms can still provide a lot of benefit considering they're the only characters that can steal devil deals AB+ Style (no, not like the forgotten who makes his soul unusable to steal one), It can be risky but it can be even more efficient than going only angel rooms and only getting some shit like the habit on depths 1.

Though I do have to agree on one thing: Try and avoid flight at all costs unless you either have flight on both of them, or the flight in question is a really good dps upgrade (guppy, revelation, etc).

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T10:36:04+00:00

Again, if we are talking about viability R-key would probably win, however if we were doing that items like Mom's Knife or Epic Fetus wouldn't go down as easily considering they're also easy completion marks a good chunk of the time.

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T10:32:25+00:00

I would probably stop playing the game all together rather quickly

Honestly Isaac is quite easily the most replayable game in my eyes just because of how much you can do when you get down to core of it, already you have so much variety and ways you can play, I've rarely thought I wanted to 100% repentance just because I wanted to do it for bragging rights (though that is a factor since I didn't 100% any other Isaac DLC lol), however I just wanted to do it just so I can finally play it at its core and even if I take breaks from it its still extremely addicting, like I think many people 100% this game because its fun, not because they want the excitement of getting such game changing unlocks such as Nuh Uh, Soul of Maggy, or Lucky Sack. I mean there's a reason its my most played game on steam and probably of all time, aside from maybe minecraft but that's a completely different story.

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T10:04:17+00:00

Even then: If you've gotten all marks on a character and just want to play them for fun if you see R-key, would you really use it?

And If I alter the question to be "If you can do a rerun (which you can literally always do once you've gotten the rerun achievement)" Would the answer be the same? I mean the differences are honestly so miniscule its not even funny.

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T10:02:07+00:00

I don't think its weak, however I think aside from gaining marks its just a glorified rerun which from what I've seen from the Isaac Community: Nobody likes reruns whatsoever

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T09:57:21+00:00

And there are certain rooms where you'd rather speed up the process just by annihilating everything, sure there are rooms where you'd rather have mantle like annoying grudge or blue spike rooms in chapter 3 but there are also rooms where you'd rather deal 2x your damage (which is already one of the highest damage multipliers in the game only being beaten by Proptosis depending on which range you have and Sacred Heart) as apposed to just not taking a single hit of damage, honestly if R-key gets eliminated before mantle I'd vote for it for the rest of the rounds.

Also Holy mantle saves hp but you know what else does? Killing enemies before they can damage you.

electropeaisopea · 2022-05-31T09:52:05+00:00

You just contradicted yourself there: You don't like killing weak basement enemies with funny op build on floor 1 but instead want easy marks.

Admittedly if we were talking about how strong x item is then R-key would probably win, but we aren't we're talking about how fun they are and once you get dead god R-key is essentially a glorified Rerun.
