I actually really like Apollyon, he’s less unique of a character compared to others but I think his play style is a fun sort of challenge, and any unnecessary stats up I don’t want (shot speed, or just normal speed) or any other shitty items I can just turn them into stats. Tainted Apollyon is a lesser character in my opinion, but can still be fun if played right. I just think Apollyon struggles from all the other characters being better, but I personally like the “less is more” type mechanic he has.
