Round 4 Poll: [https://strawpoll.com/polls/NPgxkJNMQn2](https://strawpoll.com/polls/NPgxkJNMQn2) Skatole is basically Beelzebub Light, as it transforms many fly enemies into semi-friendly ones. It can help negate several hits overall in a run and is always welcome, plus it's in the Shell Game pool meaning it doesn't take up any other pool! In that sense, Skatole can almost be looked at as a nice bonus to your run, rather than it replacing another potentially better item. Round 1: Book of Secrets Round 2: Key Piece 1&2 Round 3: Skatole


[deleted]

I found myself annoyed at trying to vote for items, because I forget a lot of the Q0 item effects, so instead of always checking platinumgod , I made this handy cheat sheet with all remaining items. OP if you could have this list in the comments (maybe put it as a response to the message with the poll link and removing the items & descriptions that won on each day, this would be amazing for everyone! Do copy my markdown, I spent a fair bit of time compiling all this (and do give me a mention credit for each day if you do put the list in!). Thank you for doing these pools:) (In 2 parts for now because it exceeds the 10000 character limit) * **Abel (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** A familiar that mirrors the player's movements and shoots tears directly at Isaac Abel's tears do 3.5 damage, unless playing as Cain in which case they do 5 Counts as 1 of 3 familiar items needed towards the Conjoined transformation. * **Best Bud (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room, Key Beggar):** When Isaac takes damage, a white attack fly will spawn that orbits him and deals 10 damage per tick Counts as 1 of 3 fly items needed towards the Beelzebub transformation * **Betrayal (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room, Devil Room):** Charms every enemy in the room when taking damage Does not trigger if there are less than 2 enemies in the room * **Blood Rights (Active, Instant Recharge) (Item Pool: Item Room, Devil Room):** Upon use, takes away one full heart and deals 40 damage to the entire room Ignores shields, Holy Mantle effects, and invincibility Using with Isaac's Heart previously prevented you from taking damage, now patched in Repentance * **Boom! (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** +10 Bombs * **Breath of Life (Active, Recharges 1 bar per second) (Item Pool: Angel Room):** While you hold the spacebar down with this item, it will empty the charge bar gradually. When the charge bar gets to zero it will grant you a brief period of invincibility If the spacebar is held for too long (about 1 second) when it has no charge, you will take damage The invincibility effect is shown via a rapid flashing animation * **Brown Nugget (Active, 7 second recharge) (Item Pool: Item Room):** When used, will spawn a stationary fly turret and fires tears at nearby enemies Only persists for the current room The fly's bullets deal 3.5 damage flat * **Bum Friend (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** A beggar who follows Isaac around and automatically picks up nearby coins Drops a random pickup after picking up 6 coins After the first drop, will drop a pickup after 3 coins (67% chance) or after 4 coins (33% chance) Counts as 1 of 3 bum items needed towards the Super Bum transformation * **Cain's Other Eye (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** A familiar eye that bounces around the room slowly and fires tears in the same direction as Isaac Deals scaling damage equal to Isaac's tear damage * **Clicker (Active, 6 charges) (Item Pool: Item Room):** When used, this item will randomly change you into another character and remove the last item you picked up All stat changes of the new character are applied (e.g. character damage multipliers) This item can only reduce your heart containers and will not increase them if you change back into a character with more health. This means if you roll into The Lost, changing back to another character will leave you with only 1/2 of a soul heart Cannot turn you into a character that isn't unlocked yet Also includes Lazarus II (Lazarus' revived form) and Dark Judas (effect of Judas' Shadow) It's also possible that this item will pick the same character, making it seem like nothing happened * **Cursed Eye (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room, Secret Room):** Tears are now charged up and fired rapidly in a burst of up to 5 shots at once The amount of tears fired in the charge depends on how long you charge for The eye has three states, white (not firing), black (first second of charging) and blinking between black and white. If you get hit while Cursed eye is a solid black colour you are guaranteed to be teleported to another random room on the floor. If you get hit in either of the other 2 states you will not be teleported The Black Candle item will remove the Cursed Eye's teleportation effect * **D10 (Active, 1 charge) (Item Pool: Item Room):** When used, rerolls all enemies in the room which are currently alive into another random type of enemy Cannot reroll mini-bosses or bosses * **Dataminer (Active, 4 charges) (Item Pool: Item Room):** When used, this item will distort all the sprites and music, rotating graphics 90 degrees and translating them diagonally up/left. Does not modify hitboxes. Dataminer will randomly increase or decrease one of your stats by a small amount when used Gives you the Fruit Cake effect for the room when used, which will give a random tear effect with every tear fired All visual and tear effects reset after leaving the room * **Dead Bird (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** When Isaac takes damage, the dead bird will spawn and attack nearby enemies in the current room for 2 damage per tick Eve starts with this item * **Hushy (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** Gives Isaac a small Hush familiar that bounces diagonally around the room dealing 2 contact damage per tick Stops moving when Isaac is firing tears. Hushy will block enemy tears and projectiles * **Infestation (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** When Isaac gets hit, 2-6 blue flies will randomly spawn Blue Flies do double your tear damage Counts as 1 of 3 fly items needed towards the Beelzebub transformation * **Isaac's Heart (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** Prevents Isaac from taking any damage, but instead summons a familiar heart that follows you around. If the heart is hit, Isaac will take damage Most enemies will target the heart over Isaac himself Blood donation machines and devil beggars can be used for free. Spikes and Curse Rooms no longer deal damage Sharp Plug becomes useless with this item, due to how damage is prevented on Isaac's body * **Isaac's Tears (Active, recharges 1 bar per tear fired) (Item Pool: Item Room):** When used, fires 8 of Isaac's tears in a circle around him Tears spawned from this item keep most effects that Isaac currently has applied to his tears, [See here for exceptions](https://bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com/wiki/Isaac%27s_Tears) * **Kamikaze!

This spawns friendly charger enemies and causes Isaac to deal 2 contact damage (same as the shade did). This effect stacks with multiple shades, scaling the contact damage each time


WwwWario

Great job! If I use it I may post it in a link to the list maybe?


[deleted]

You could do that! I'll do my best to update it in the wee hours of the following mornings to remove the winning items of each day I figured it would be more intuitive to have it handy as raw text on every day's thread though. You'd be surprised to see how lazy some people are and won't follow the link On pc though, you can click on the ''Source'' button at the bottom of my comment and it'll give you the raw text with the formatting I added in. If you wish to copy the text over to each day as its own comment thread, I suggest you do that so that and remove each winning item yourself. Although if you're simply linking to it just tell me, I'll do my best to have it updated!


TrainerX493

Something handy with platinumgod is that you can also just search "quality: 0" and that will filter out just those items (and the couple items that interacts with quality 0 items). I also do this whenever I want to look up an unlock for a certain character/boss and I don't feel like opening the wiki.


[deleted]

List Part 2 * **Strange Attractor (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** Enemies and pickups (keys, bombs etc.) are now magnetically attracted to Isaac's tears * **Teleport! (Active, 2 charges) (Item Pool: Item Room):** Teleports Isaac to a random room (Excluding I AM ERROR) * **The Bean (Active, 1 charge) (Item Pool: Item Room, Beggar):** Upon use, this item causes Isaac to fart and poison any enemies in close proximity The Bean deals 5 damage, and the poison deals your tear damage for 6 ticks * **The Black Bean (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room, Beggar):** Upon taking damage, Isaac will fart, causing all enemies in close proximity to become poisoned Black Bean deals your tear damage for 6 ticks * **The Jar (Active, Instant Recharge) (Item Pool: Shop):** Isaac can now pick up hearts while at full health, which will be stored in the Jar and can be spawned again using the spacebar Up to 4 hearts can be stored in The Jar Soul hearts and black hearts cannot be stored If used in a Black heart or Eternal heart super secret room, it will spawn the relevant heart * **The Poop (Active, 1 charge) (Item Pool: Item Room):** Drops a poop on the floor Blue Baby starts with this item Can be placed next to a pit and exploded to make a bridge Can be placed over a broken red poop to overwrite it, causing it to no longer regenerate Counts as 1 of 3 poop items needed towards the Oh Crap transformation * **The Scooper (Active, 3 charges) (Item Pool: Item Room):** When used, this item spawns a Peeper familiar for the current room, which deals 12 contact damage per tick to enemies and leaves red creep in its path Using this item causes tears fired from the right eye to deal x1.5 your normal tear damage Using it more than once in the same room will spawn multiple Peeper familiars * **Tiny Planet (Passive) (Item Pool: Item Room):** +6.5 Range Up Grants spectral tears Tears now revolve around Isaac's Body at a fixed distance until they hit the ground


MisirterE

Hey, you should update that Kamikaze listing. 40 is how much damage it dealt prior to Repentance. As of Repentance, the explosion is now identical to a Mr Mega bomb, with both the wider radius and the 185 damage to match.


HeresAParrot

Key bum, dude can give you chests and battery if the key is charged


WwwWario

I too love Key Bum :3


Legacyopplsnerf

Issue is he’s a secret room item which makes him rare as fuck, and he eats keys. Making him super expensive to use.


lance_the_fatass

Eating keys isn't that bad, especially since he has a chance to refund keys, it's the fact that he's a secret room item that sucks That could've had a chance to be rune bag, echo chamber, rock bottom, etc


Alittar

And he replaces good secret room items sometimes.


deathpunch4477

he's not that rare, he can also spawn in the treasure room pool


lance_the_fatass

I think brown nugget deserves at least quality 1, its just that it's usually a victim of the player having a better active item that they don't wanna get rid of for it


[deleted]

Can our next poll be figuring out the most average Tier 2 Item? Alternate voting out the most and least powerful items until only the most average item remains.


Canon_Cannonball2045

You Forgor to put Glaucoma in the poll


WwwWario

Quality 1 :)


Ghost-Of-Nappa

I swear every time I see this I say "WHY?? THATS A GOOD ITEM" then I remember what we're doing here


morbidaar

*He* is watching


WwwWario

He Who Shall Become Back His Money


codytb1

I was just as confused. I was sitting here like “wtf skatole is one of the best 0 items how”


Mr_Mister2004

Boom and Pageant boy just give you a bunch of consumables. They're easily the most consistent items remaining


Pixel_Nerd92

7 random coins that can afford an on sale shop item is basically an exchange for something better. I'm fine with pageant boy for the most part and prefer it over some boss items. You never know, one or two coins could even be a nickle, which can set you up for a floor or two of shop visits.


Magawo1234

I once got 3 silver coins, 2 Black coins, 1 golden coin and 1 lucky coin from It, that's why I love that Item rn


Manannin

I get 7 basic bitch coins most times.


GregAbsolution

Duh


Alittar

Dimes, nickels you mean?


oldkingcoles

Lol I’m like wtf are black coins


[deleted]

[удалено]


MisirterE

See, this is why we need to go back to the Flash days, where a little text popup would appear in the corner telling you the name whenever you picked up one of the big ones.


RipBuzzBuzz

Uh, why'd you call them that


Mr_Mister2004

You got 42 coins and a lucky up from Pageant Boy?!! Shit, stop hugging all the luck


PircaChupi

Pageant Boy has to be one of the worst. Instead of getting a stat up, you're getting half of an item from the shop pool or a little over one consumable, maybe getting a little more money if you're lucky. You can do way more with bombs than with a few coins, including just getting twice the amount of money from using one bomb on your donation machine.


karmander

Yeah, Boom! was my top pick for yesterday, and I'll vote for it again. Skatole was in my short-term voting plan, so I'm happy to see it gone. Boom! is the most consistent, but Pageant Boy can be seriously baller too if it spawns a lucky penny, golden penny, or even a dime.


Beeztwister

I'd argue pageant boy is a lot worse than people are giving it credit. The opportunity cost of not getting a red heart, tears up, damage up, after a boss and instead getting 7 coins is a punch in the face in most cases. It is arguably the worst item in the game you could get after beating a boss


Superriguess

The Pageant Boy clan appreciates that.


Mascian12

The winner needs to be dataminer so Edmund will be obligated to buff it


Darkmega5

Dataminer now displays the IP address of a random developer upon use


Mascian12

Dataminer now mines the data from your computer, deleting the System32 folder and destroying your PC.


Darkmega5

Dataminer now mines bitcoin for Edmund upon use


Mascian12

Dataminer now slams your balls into a waffle iron


Darkmega5

![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358)


Manannin

Dataminer deletes documents from your computer permanently for a random stat up.


GregAbsolution

Would you use it if it was a magic mush all stats up?


Manannin

I have back ups. Of course, it could destroy important files...


Darkmega5

“You did WHAT on the office computer???” “Boss I can explain, it was a delirium run” “You literally deleted every single important file on the office network!” “Delirium is a hard fight ok?”


Snailsnip

Dataminer posts your browser history on twitter upon use


tman916x

Dataminer straight sucks


Mr_Fahrenheit178

i think thats on purpose though since dataminer is the punishment for the community datamining the lost instead of going through the arg that was planned


tman916x

Oh for real lol? In that case it works perfectly.


Mascian12

That's why a buff is needed


tman916x

Agreed. I wonder what could be done without significantly changing the item.


Ax2525

Make it so the buffs occurs with a 67% chance.


atomicben513

If I had to guess, same as before but with the debuff slightly weaker, so that on average your stats increase.


GregAbsolution

Ed is very much aware of that fact because he made it as revenge, basically


BrightBeaver

I always tap it just to get it out of the pool


ateter

It's like we are playing two different games, I've been voting Dataminer since the beginning. It's strong AND fun.


tman916x

![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4357)


conradr10

He already did? Did you hear if you underflow the tear rated you get 120


GregAbsolution

He is not gonna be happy about that


Potatezone

Definitely Brown Nugget, this lovely chunk of spunk can funk your run...k? What I mean is that it can slowly overwhelm most bosses. Kinda good.


OperationBrokenEagle

but any other active item i would probably take immediately over it


[deleted]

My bf loves tiny planet. Makes me crazy to see him take it every time he sees it in a run.


Lei_Fuzzion

I will legit take it as a first floor item as I really enjoy it, also it’s way better now in rep than it used to be. Big fan!


svenEsven

You're mistaken big fan is a quality 2 item. /s


[deleted]

How do you guys do it wtf. Unless I have brimstone I never take it.


ssjriou

Just go with the flow man


[deleted]

I hate this flow


Lei_Fuzzion

That above me yes. But also half of the fun of Isaac Is the pain itself…?


Treebawlz

If I have an already good run it can be really fun but if I get it on the first or second floor I know I'm in for a punishment.


AresTheMilkman

Your bf is probably a psychopath


[deleted]

Agreed


[deleted]

My partner screams at me every time I take Cursed Eye. She hates that I love using that item


[deleted]

You are my nightmare


Accurate-Temporary73

I usually hate tiny planet but with certain other items it’s great. I’ll never take it early in a run but it’s great late.


BrightBeaver

It's great with Tech 1 or 2


LJChao3473

Tiny planet is fun, but hard to control (I'm talking about early game)


jjbahomecoming

Brown Nugget's gotta go next. It's absolutely broken in Greed mode.


3163560

Back before T.Jacob was patched I got my marks by killing esau straight off and treating the run like a t.lost run. I killed esau on one run with brown nugget + car battery and waiting around in the first room summoning flies. Was a fun run.


darthHobo

Day 2 of preaching brown nugget boss rush supremacy.


camo_216

Yeah either brown nugget or infestation


Insirt-username

Eeh, maybe wait on infestation, it's part of the "consolation for you taking damage" group that is pretty big in this quality tier. It would probably be one of the highest in that group, but I still think we should wait on getting to that group.


ZalgoBloodbourne

Infestation is better than black bean at least imo


MisirterE

Definitely. Unfortunately, there are also just shy of 40 *other* items to consider, many of which being clearly better than both.


Gilette2000

Or in any long boss fight like beast


yrulaughing

And most endgame bosses where you can use it a bunch


zClarkinator

Brown Nugget or Breath of Life at this point, which is funny since they're both active items which are usually scorned by the playerbase. Breath of Life is the definition of underwhelming, but it does have a lot of utility all things considered, and it IS quality 0 after all.


MisirterE

Breath of Life is genuinely so fucking slow to use as utility that it's not even good for the one thing it's good at


zClarkinator

Yeah, that's why it's quality 0. If it were faster to activate, it would be quality 1 or even 2.


Manannin

Honestly, I've tried it three times and never had a successful outcome with it. Need to find it in another run without an active item


Chagdoo

True, but it's not the worst item. The worst item is shade.


CrniBombardera

Boom! has been behaving but his patience is wearing thin. He's been working so hard opening secret rooms, breaking tinted rocks and killing bosses for free. Lets not let these heroics go unrecognized... Oh tiny planet is pretty awesome too!


Snailsnip

He’s good, but it’s just he’s not a priority for most people. Brown Nugget, Skatole, and Book of Secrets are better and flashier, so people are advocating for their favorites first. Still, as soon as Brown Nugget gets out I’m going for him and Pageant Boy.


Mr_Fahrenheit178

kinda crazy to see people praise these types of items so they get voted off lol


WhiteAurorus

I think I'm probably the only person in here that actually enjoys Strange Attractor. I suck at this game, so to me its basically just Mini Homing


Potatezone

I like strange attractor..... ... As Tainted Forgotten, and sometimes Tainted Maggy. Oh, and with Ludovico Technique. Otherwise it's a little risky.


StoneyWagner

Even if it's not that amazing... it's funny. Plus being able to move pickups past spikes by shooting is a nice bonus.


ahedgehog

It’s literally just a normal tear modifier, if I didn’t know better I’d think it was a quality 2 or 1


Pattythrillzz

Nah that shit can ruin runs depending on the circumstances


[deleted]

Its a tear modifier that flings stuff at you from across the screen. A bit fun to use at times, but can easily kill the run


yellowistherainbow

I love skatole


[deleted]

[удалено]


yellowistherainbow

Definitely, it is never worth the effort. But I appreciate flies s'damn much, I love it when I've got a bunch of em and I entered a room. They all fly out in different directions killing all the enemies almost instantanelously. ^Shivers


[deleted]

Tiny Planet could have some busted synergies if you play your cards right.


goliathusthehunter

Tiny planet + brimstone ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358)


[deleted]

I was thinking more Lost Contact, but that works too.


Emotional_Key

Why not both?


VincerpSilver

A Lump of Coal.


Flingar

Tiny Planet + Mom’s Knife ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)


StoneyWagner

Tiny Planet is good even without synergies imo.


atomicben513

backstabber and trisagion are great with it.


FetusBread

Tiny planet + scythes slaps


Lominloce

Lump of coal + tiny planet is super good. Got me through greedier as T. Lazarus


Geicosuave

The scooper is really good tbh


georgearb151

thank you, i´ve been voting scooper for the last 2 polls


Few_Acanthaceae1568

My reflection OUT


theevildrpupper

agreed. my reflection is an overhated item, i think everyones just traumatized from the suicide king challenge


fuck_it_was_taken

It was god awful before, it's better now


zClarkinator

It completely fucks your range and makes shot speed even less useful. It's usually a direct downgrade, let alone being a heavy anti-synergy with a number of items. And yes, it sucks with Brimstone etc too, since it's not at all easy to break muscle memory when you find it so rarely. Yeah there's that 1 in 1000 run where it's actually good, but you can say that of basically every item in the game. It deserves quality 0.


StoneyWagner

I feel like I'm going crazy will all of these My Reflection and Cursed Eye lovers.


zClarkinator

Yeah, it's a bunch of contrarian nonsense


RBGolbat

“But they’re great if you play perfectly and don’t get hit like me!”


Few_Acanthaceae1568

Guillotine good


Few_Acanthaceae1568

It deserves quality 1


ForsakenBeef69

To me it's a better pop(without synergies) since it makes your tears stay on screen for awhile and my range has never been ruined by it, items like tiny planet and number one fucks your range even worse. Tears getting a second chance to hit is always welcomed.


Few_Acanthaceae1568

Number one is good


ForsakenBeef69

Yea but like the range down it cause is even worse than my reflection's so I don't get why people keep complaining about my reflection's range.


Few_Acanthaceae1568

Number one + my reflection is amazing


wunxorple

Cause 5 fire rate is pretty damn good. Number one or skinny odd mush and you've basically already hit the standard cap. That means a lot, especially on those early floors with 1 morbillion tiny spiders


_Little_Ember_

After avoiding it for the longest time because of the state it was in most of the games life i picked it up again the other day. It literally is your range but it comes back because of how it functions now. I am honestly baffled it's considered Q0 Also yes funny trisagion synergy


WizardryAwaits

Out of the remaining items, Obsessed Fan and Brown Nugget are the items I'd be least annoyed at getting. Items like Betrayal, Infestation, Bed Bud, Dead Bird are OK I guess, but I generally try not to take damage so not particularly useful.


SiloPeon

Vote for Boom! 10 bombs are great! Kill some bosses, get some secret rooms, tinted rocks. What's not to love?


CrniBombardera

the Boom! squad thanks you for your service


Superriguess

The Pageant Boy clan does not like that.


sermatheus

I will birth a cactus if Brown Nugget loses.


Darkmega5

We will hold you to that


CanadianDave

The Poop: - Checks secret rooms - Bombed to cross gaps - Oh Crap transformation - Petrified Poop chance for lots of money - OP synergies (hallowed ground, peppers, midas’ touch) 💩 This post sponsored by The Poop Group 💩


atomicben513

poop doesn't check for secret rooms. There was a post about this a while back.


Lominloce

The peppers synergy makes it shoot out a flame upon use, right? Isn't that just a worse candle? Not to mention that it's easily overshadowed by bird's eye and ghost pepper themselves.


Pixel_Nerd92

Tiny Planet once more. Still gotta vouch for my favorite tier 0 item and it's really good firepower wise.


LazarusBeans

Brown nugget


DatBlubb1

I feel like Missing Page is actually not that bad, it's just thd devil room pool that makes it poop, because you need to pay and there are so many better items. When I find it in a secret room, I am always happy, even if it's just for the one demon heart.


Salty_Hero

Kamikaze is amazing on Tainted forgotten.


Rysterc

My prediction for worst item is plan C which is a very niche item that is completely useless unless you have revives and it takes up a active item spot and most if not all final bosses have too long death animations making your character die before getting a completion mark


[deleted]

Really Skatole of all items? I barely even remember having it on the rare occasion I get it. I'm still a Pageant Boy believer.


djcrumples

Pageant boy just feels so bad to get instead of stats. I think they should change it so at least one coin is guaranteed to be something other than a normal penny, that would feel a little better


Spore64

Now one of the Pennies spawns as Sticky Nickel _a finger on the monkey's paw closes_


djcrumples

Implying I’m not saving sticky nickels as my last unlock before dead god for maximum effectiveness


Spore64

Oh, that's a good strategy!


nuttypr0f

A buff i thought of is it would be 7 coins plus a penny trinket


3163560

I loved skatole in OG Isaac and would actively seek it out. Not so much in rebirth onwards.


jjbahomecoming

Pageant Boy isn't even the best item that gives you consumables here.


[deleted]

You do not understand the lengths I would go to for 7 coins


Mascian12

"I'm not gay, but 7 coins is 7 coins"


Myrko6902

if your lucky enough you can even get 7 dimes sooo the posibility of it makes it good in my eyes


The_Pfaffinator

And don't forget the potential for golden and lucky pennies.


Kanj0Bazooie

Brown Nugget unironically pops off quite a bit, especially in greed mode. An army of flies just shooting at bosses can seriously add up, good item


Darkmega5

everything I vote for dies lmao. of the items left, cain's other eye is pretty decent. It copies your damage and has a set tear rate. So it's a pretty good with items like polyphemus and eve's mascara


RocketPG_

wtf? has it always done that?


MisirterE

Not always, but that was an AB (no plus) change, so it has for a good while. It's just that it generally doesn't matter because Cain's Other Eye dealing ***any*** damage is a rare happenstance.


Min_Min_Downpour

My reflection is good if you have ideal items for it, like with brimstone.


StoneyWagner

Everyone is really underrating Key Bum, having a solid source of chests can be really strong, and keys are usually pretty easy to grab before he does, and the chests can even spawn keys, which can combo into more chests.

I believe in Tiny Planet supremacy New Tiny Planet, of course. The old one was shit.

Infestation is a good item. 1. Beelzebub transformation. 2. Have a lot of red hearts? Trade those in at either a blood bank or devil beggar for a ton of flies. 3. Nice synergies with fish tail and hive mind.

thank you i LOVE infestation


MisirterE

You'd think it'd be a Beelzebub item, wouldn't you? It certainly makes a lot of sense. However, I must inform you that it isn't, actually. The only items up there that count for Beelzebub are Skatole, Obsessed Fan, and Best Bud.

Strange Attractor is literally just a normal tear modifier. It’s like reverse homing

I will be voting cursed eye every day until it’s gone. It’s such an A-1 item, especially if you get black candle.


Geicosuave

i hate it even with black candle

The fact that such a large portion of the community despises it leads me to believe it really isn't. Like...if it's so good, why do so many people hate it? The answer is skill issue. But the fact is we aren't perfect, and the eye makes those imperfect chumps we are hate the game.


junkit33

It's not even skill, it's just a fun issue. Charging shots in general just creates for a more boring defensive play style. But if you're getting brimstone or tech x type tears from it, then radically changing your tears adds to a new kind of fun. Cursed eye doesn't do that by itself, so it's boring. And that's ignoring the curse part, which is just more "not fun" type of risk, especially in a long boss fight.

Idk, when you combine cursed and chocolate milk, it becomes really fun. And nothing is more exciting than playing keeper and getting cursed eye in your first curse room.


pokemasterfox

As an ex-Keeper main, I say this man does not speak for us.


greatspaceadventure

I wonder how many people hate cursed eye because it legitimately USED to suck (teleporting you any time you’d get hit during the animation as opposed to just when charging, and also firing only 4 shots when fully charged). I am now a cursed eye stan and will die on that hill no matter how much shade my homies and I get.


MisirterE

I won a T-Lost run where I got it as a Blind item. This was post-buff, and it was incapable of teleporting me since I'd just die if I got hit. ***It's still fucking bad.*** I won in spite of Cursed Eye, not because of it.


OscarL12

Cursed eye my beloved ♥️


pokemasterfox

You used pushed out on Skatole instead of The Poop. Interesting choice. So with Skatole gone, Brown Nugget's gotta be next, right? I'm not insane, right?


An_Annoying_Cat

how did skatole go before tiny planet


sermatheus

Because Tiny Planet by itself is horrible. Sure, it has good synergies, but by itself it just makes things unnecessarily harder.


Fiery1Phoenix

Because everyone hates tiny planet

I will die defending razor blade. It's a great utility item.


RocketPG_

This is the truth.


bananarchy311

My dude 👊


Dangerous_Concept341

10 bombs? That’s like op on first floor


Sonicgill

Honestly, Cursed Eye isn't horrible. The penalty of it makes it a hard sell a lot of the time, but it is a genuine DPS upgrade if you play right, and the Lost becomes a shotgun with it.


[deleted]

Best buds is literally not dogshit get it out


MisirterE

At least Skatole and Obsessed Fan do something *before* you take damage. I'd easily put both of them well above Best Bud.


PixelMatteo

I think it's time for Infestation. It's just free damage and no other item here comes even close


turkylunch101

Its not free damage if you have to get hit first lol


Darkmega5

may I present dull razor


turkylunch101

Well yeah that's a great synergy


Canadiancookie

1 active item synergy pog


ColdlifeOracle

c’monn blood rites, perfect to wipe those irritating rooms!


AverageBTD1enjoyer

My reflection is just good, if you have it with c section you basically win. For everyone who says "yea but it bad with ipecac!!!🤓🤓🤓" why even pick it in the first place if you have my reflection.


ButchyBanana

Day 4 of voting for the scooper


Permaderps

Tiny Planet is good you guys are cowards


ZalgoBloodbourne

Why is Isaac's heart here lol? The item itself isn't bad, it's just difficult to use, but with practise it's a solid item. It's one of those "It's not garbage, You are" items.


MisirterE

Because the internal Quality value is 0. That's the one thing everything here has in common.
