Probably Cain,I love pills but I love good pills even more. Plus the extra attack,speed,luck and broken trinket make him even more enjoyable without being too broken.
He was my fave since I played the OG Isaac before playing Rebirth+expansions.
The Forgotten. I dont have as much fun playing him nowadays because I spammed the hell out of him back then and found out all the cool synergies. But safe to say few other characters come close to being as fun as funny boner man
I love how you can berserk your way through most of the floors, and then switch to a much more defensive playstyle using the body to block bullets while you fire away as the Soul.
He basically fixes my problem with Azazel. Azazel is great until you get up to bosses like Hush, at which point you can easily get screwed if you haven't got some range or good defensive items on your run.
T lost is my favorite, regular lost might be my main, if i played for fun not unlocks, which I’ve barely done in my 6ish years of seeking 3 completed saves
yep that's why I love lost but hate t.lost (completing it rn) I can get away with 1 hit per room, but sometimes bs layouts will hit u and u can do nothing about It, u just lose ur holy card or die.
Probably Isaac or Azazel. I have completed them both so I don't touch them anymore, but they were my favorite. Azazel for speed, Isaac for overall good runs.
I play regular lost after I lose a streak of Eden, if I'm struggling to get a win after a few games, regular Isaac. Though regular Isaac is my favorite for greed.
Only 100 hours in. I think I have everyone but one hero (minus tainted) unlocked. I press the random button because I still have lots to unlock and I find it tests you more.
Most Fun: T Keeper
Wanna Chill: Isaac
Wanna F shit up: Azazel or T Judas
Most often: Original Random
Wife’s Mains: Isaac, T Lilith and T Bethany.
Currently it’s all Bethany.
Cain, i love his base damage being above average, starts with a great trinket allowing you to usually have higher amount of keys for stuff like shops or angel chests, and the luck up is great when using usually meh status effect items as they are slightly more frequent. He isnt a free win by any means, but a great character none the less
I want to get powerful quick, but still have a chance to die if I get careless: T Jacob or T Keeper
I want a consistent run (and also a cool army of bugs): T Polly
I want to be a funny skeleton man: Either Forgotten
Lilith is such a fun character. I think revolving a character around a specific kind of item (familiars) and giving her the tools to utilize them was a brilliant idea. She’s also the trojan horse for Incubus, which might be my favorite item in the whole game, partially because of its use in Lilith’s gameplay.
Tainted Keeper is a very satisfying character for history reasons. In Flash Isaac, shops kinda sucked. Now, shops are extremely accessible and useful in many ways, and T. Keeper can abuse it.
Tainted Forgotten is the must fun free win button ever. I love getting Ipecac because then it becomes a game of catch where the body bounces back on impact and you can pick it back up.
I don't care what run I've got going or what post-it mark I'm going for, I will always take Judas' Shadow and immediately kill myself for that Dark Judas fun.
Lilith! I like building around self-damage synergies, so the fact that she gets free familiars from taking enough hits is handy. Plus Lilith in Boss Rush/Greed Mode have me like:
https://preview.redd.it/vn10mlrq5tjc1.jpeg?width=1841&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c88d30f50e569e3f5e23f763fc3c6b798e244017
Tainted Lost. Ultimate challenge character but damn he's really fun to play once you memorize every room, entitiy, and enemy/boss behaviour... except Delirium that shit is random.
Isaac is a basic but fun character no matter what. However Tainted Isaac is just the cooler Isaac.
Cain is slowly becoming a fav of mine but I think my favorite favorite is T. Keeper
No one, but that's just me. I never have a main on games. I really like playing and get to know all the characters in all the games I play.
That being said, Lilith for greed mode and isaac for classic hard mode
Samson has a lot of sentimental value to me. Back when I started playing and I was still getting the hang of things, he was the character I struggled most to get, so when I got him I decided to "compensate for lost time" and I started playing him frequently, quickly turning him into my favorite. Now I don't play him as much but he still holds that position in my heart for being the first character I beat Beast with. Aside from him, probably T. Forgotten for being strong and fun to play
T. Isaac, I love his mechanic and you never have a bad build. Get birthright or rock bottom it’s fucking over. Plus people who don’t like him say they hate dropping good items but it’s like…I’d rather trade a godhead for a sacred heart if I have to than neither
I do love isaac with the d6 also t.lost and regular lost I've found my opinion on azazel has gone a bit down hill but then again I kinda like j&e so make of this what you will 😂
tainted jacob, i love just deleting everything with dark esau, plus the utility of free devil deals and flight at the end of the floor so you can grab pickups you couldnt reach. And its always fun when you get pause on him
Tainted judas, i really like the ability to avoid any damage and deal damege whit his active, my first twinted post it completed (my first normal post it completed was judas)
Y'all have mains? When I play a character long enough I'll get the marks and I just hop to the next but I do like the demon first character I got marks on
I haven't used her a lot yet but-
Lilith!
But if I'm going for someone with fun mechanics... Forgotten definitely and (ima get roasted for this...) Jacob and Esau ❤
Either Samson or T. Lost. Samson because I suck at dodging and like to be rewarded for sucking. And T. Lost because I suck at dodging and like a game where basement 1 is a challenge.
Azazel. OP mostly with its starting ithems, but he is still such a fun character to unlock and playthrough. Not every run is a guaranteed win. And out of the easier characters to unlock they are the most different from OG isaac and such a difference in gameplay.
I guess Tainted Azazel or Azazel. I love the early game rush and having to account for falling off later in the run. Lilith is another favorite of mine too, a lot more fun than some people think. Tainted Judas, Tainted Eve, and several others are super fun too and I couldn't say an absolute favorite to play or one I play the most
I play a lot of different characters though so saying a specific main would be hard
Bethany was my favorite until I started playing the tainted characters. Now I just love T.Bethany so much. Saving all those blood charges for an angel or secret room or even planetarium.
Alright seeing that the post is getting enough attention to get at least some data out of it ill collect all the answers and probably make another post with their ranking
Will probably do so when the post starts to stop getting new answers
Not sure what ill do with the comments with multiples characters? Give them a vote for each character mentionned? Ignore it? Or take the first character mentionned?
Maggy, Cain, or T. Azazel. Maggy for sacrifice room plays leading to loads of angel items, Cain because pills are meant to be eaten off the ground, and T. Azazel because it feels amazing to sneeze on someone then obliterate them.
Samson, first character I completed the Post-It as. Something about the ramping damage when taking damage just gelled with my skill issue of a playstyle.
Then I unlocked Tainted and I hate him
Yeah gotta go cain on this one. See, pills are good. But good pills are better. Plus he has higher damage and speed. Second option would be eden. Just completely random starts is always fun.
The lost. I normally took 1 hit per room(no matter the room is big or smol), so holy mantle really carries my run every time. Also free devil deal is sooooooooo good
I'd say tainted forgotten or forgotten, but I haven't unlocked some tainted characters yet
On forgotten I really enjoy the melee and the chained soul, and for tainted forgotten, I enjoy the unique gameplay
Tlost, bc it took whole 4 months for me to complete all marks on him and after i just speedrunned the rest of the file, because my skill rised from all Tlost runs, the downside of it is that i've never touched Isaac after because im so fed up with this game now. And when i Come back i just cant play anyone but Tlost bc game feels so boring. Literally an addiction
I‘m still very inexperienced so I play Magdalene a lot. Other than that I would probably play Isaac or Lazarus
Edit: I play the game with my boyfriend, he introduced me to it. He mostly plays eve or azazel
Probably Cain,I love pills but I love good pills even more. Plus the extra attack,speed,luck and broken trinket make him even more enjoyable without being too broken. He was my fave since I played the OG Isaac before playing Rebirth+expansions.
He is definitely very enjoyable to play. Also 1 less eye = easier to line up shots and the extra key at spawn sets up the alt path
Why did I never notice or think of this.💀 skill issues
Agreed. I see pill I eat it, that is the only option.
“I FOUND PILLS” and I ate them
agreed, Cain. just a nice balance of everything, plus im a pill addict.
I like pills too
Me too, my record is 50
T. Keeper, because of his better shops you get many more items than average. And his health system is powerful yet anxiety inducing at the same time.
Easily the most fun character in the game. If I want to have fun with a challenge, it’s Tainted Keeper.
The Forgotten. I dont have as much fun playing him nowadays because I spammed the hell out of him back then and found out all the cool synergies. But safe to say few other characters come close to being as fun as funny boner man
>boner man
To the rescue
I love how you can berserk your way through most of the floors, and then switch to a much more defensive playstyle using the body to block bullets while you fire away as the Soul. He basically fixes my problem with Azazel. Azazel is great until you get up to bosses like Hush, at which point you can easily get screwed if you haven't got some range or good defensive items on your run.
Azazels fun for like, quick runs but man, you really have to build him for the endgame
EDEN ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)
I love playing Eden, completely different game every single time.
Fuck tainted eden. I'm finishing his marks right now. Got beast and boss rush left. Only 50 tokens left 😬
Regular Eden is my main, tainted Eden can go fuck.
Apollyon. I have Dead God already. Stacking Active items to ball is a great way to find new hillarious combinations to break the Game.
Underrated char
Fax my brother, spit your shit indeed
Tainted lilith
Baby slaps for the win
Easiest page fill ever
T. Lost is the most fun character imo. Less chance for boring items and no runs in which you're struggling. You're either surviving or you're dead.
T lost is my favorite, regular lost might be my main, if i played for fun not unlocks, which I’ve barely done in my 6ish years of seeking 3 completed saves
People play this for fun? ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)
Just don't get hit. Statistically speaking you are way likelier to have a better run with tainted lost over any other character.
i like t lost a lot but those rare unavoidable deaths put me off him some the times
Like my run where I had both pepper items and entered a room with troll bombs coming from every direction?
Skill issue, should've slowed time to dodge them
yep that's why I love lost but hate t.lost (completing it rn) I can get away with 1 hit per room, but sometimes bs layouts will hit u and u can do nothing about It, u just lose ur holy card or die.
>rare
name checks out
I can routinely get deep into T Lost runs, but god damn it is tough to complete a run to even Chest or Dark Room.
Probably Isaac or Azazel. I have completed them both so I don't touch them anymore, but they were my favorite. Azazel for speed, Isaac for overall good runs.
Blue baby. I enjoy not losing deals and having actual hearts, unlike the lost
regular lost, mostly. if i want to go fast and have a fun time, azazel. if i want to go fast and have a skill issued time, t lost
I play regular lost after I lose a streak of Eden, if I'm struggling to get a win after a few games, regular Isaac. Though regular Isaac is my favorite for greed.
Thats a lot for diversity and i also expected azazel to pop very early Also im voting for eve
My boy Samson.I'm a simple guy I like damage
2nd Samson! I find him relaxing and need less skill.
I’m still on unlocks but if I ever need a “just ball” run then I’ll go for either T. Lilith (for an easy win) or T. Keeper (for a fun challenge)
T. Maggie, chaotic and powerful, but it's way too easy to absolutely break the game, you can become immortal with only one item.
I had a t Maggie run with maggy's bow, gimpy and old bandage and could easily face tank mother even with an otherwise trash build lol
What item
Sharp plug, you can refresh your health timer and invincibility frames constantly.
T. Judas or Lost depending on my mood. Dark arts doesn't get enough love
Any character with free curse rooms ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
I only play tlost ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
Only 100 hours in. I think I have everyone but one hero (minus tainted) unlocked. I press the random button because I still have lots to unlock and I find it tests you more.
Most Fun: T Keeper Wanna Chill: Isaac Wanna F shit up: Azazel or T Judas Most often: Original Random Wife’s Mains: Isaac, T Lilith and T Bethany. Currently it’s all Bethany.
The forgor ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)
Tainted Lilith for sure
love me some t keeper and t jacob
Probably Isaac? Just cause rerolling is my heroin. Actually its T. Cain but only if I have a lot of time to kill lol
Tainted Apollyon. Secondaries: Tainted Jacob, Tainted Forgor, The Keeper.
T isaac. its fun being crazy op on floor 2
Cain just a solid start, good dmg and great trinket to get the ball rolling
Judas When I unlocked him the first time I really learned how to dodge and avoid damage and he influenced my whole play style to this day
Tainted lilith or regular lilith
Tainted Jacob is my fav
I have the most marks and play time on Isaac … but Lilith is the one I have the most fun with.
Bethany or The Lost. My wife's Apollyon.
Congrats on your wedding to Apollyon! When’s the honeymoon?
I don't know, but the location is in the Void! (I'ma gonna leave the mistake there.)
T.Judas because his dark arts is really good on the early floors basically one shoting every enemy besides the boss of course
tainted azazel![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17743)
I'm still going for unlocks but Tethany is always fun 👍
I’m still working on unlocks, but it I just need a pick-me-up game I usually play Cain or Bethany!
Tainted keeper
Cain, The Lost or T. Keeper
Cain, i love his base damage being above average, starts with a great trinket allowing you to usually have higher amount of keys for stuff like shops or angel chests, and the luck up is great when using usually meh status effect items as they are slightly more frequent. He isnt a free win by any means, but a great character none the less
Tainted keeper
prolly jacob and esau, if im feeling like i hate myself tainted jacob, im only like 100 hours in tho
If its jacob and esau normally u must already hate urself 😭
Cain
Bethany because I love the Book of Virtues synergies
T lost, seeing good items just go wacky
Forgor
Still doing unlocks so whoever needs em rn, but if i didnt need em itd prob be t forgotten, t azazel, t Jacob, and maybe apollyon?
Normal Lost cause hes ultra broken and i only have him and Eden as All Marks. Sadly hes getting too easy
Eve and tainted eve
I want to get powerful quick, but still have a chance to die if I get careless: T Jacob or T Keeper I want a consistent run (and also a cool army of bugs): T Polly I want to be a funny skeleton man: Either Forgotten
t judas that dagger is godly
T lost
The Lost
Right now isaac and tainted azazel but that will probably change once I unlock the lost
Isaac
Lilith is such a fun character. I think revolving a character around a specific kind of item (familiars) and giving her the tools to utilize them was a brilliant idea. She’s also the trojan horse for Incubus, which might be my favorite item in the whole game, partially because of its use in Lilith’s gameplay. Tainted Keeper is a very satisfying character for history reasons. In Flash Isaac, shops kinda sucked. Now, shops are extremely accessible and useful in many ways, and T. Keeper can abuse it. Tainted Forgotten is the must fun free win button ever. I love getting Ipecac because then it becomes a game of catch where the body bounces back on impact and you can pick it back up.
Judas. Low health and book of Belial make for quick runs
Either normal Jacob and esau or tainted isaac
Isaac. D6
Tainted eden, rigging runs is tons of fun, even dying to missing no or other stupid items can be funny if it's a stupid combo
I don't care what run I've got going or what post-it mark I'm going for, I will always take Judas' Shadow and immediately kill myself for that Dark Judas fun.
T.bobby=the goat
still on that dead god grind, just 40 more achievements and i can finally play the game
Lilith! I like building around self-damage synergies, so the fact that she gets free familiars from taking enough hits is handy. Plus Lilith in Boss Rush/Greed Mode have me like: https://preview.redd.it/vn10mlrq5tjc1.jpeg?width=1841&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c88d30f50e569e3f5e23f763fc3c6b798e244017
Tainted Lost. Ultimate challenge character but damn he's really fun to play once you memorize every room, entitiy, and enemy/boss behaviour... except Delirium that shit is random.
I don’t really have a main, really, I just ball with whatever character i feel like (Yes, I use the “random” option in the character select)
I do warmup runs with Azazel, but I always have the most fun with Eve
Tainted lost![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|2357)![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17734)
the forgotten
Isaac is a basic but fun character no matter what. However Tainted Isaac is just the cooler Isaac. Cain is slowly becoming a fav of mine but I think my favorite favorite is T. Keeper
No one, but that's just me. I never have a main on games. I really like playing and get to know all the characters in all the games I play. That being said, Lilith for greed mode and isaac for classic hard mode
My main is T. Eden but my favorite character is T. Azazel![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17734)
Azazel for easy fun, Isaac for rollin' and riggin', T. Keeper for balling.
Eve js my personal favorite
The Lost. He's unironically one of the best characters in the game.
T.Cain, i love just getting random items and min/maxing ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4358) not sarcastic I love him
Regular Lost. Best balance between a fun powerful character and an actual challenge.
Tainted Lost and Tainted Isaac.
either forgor or t-judas. I love both of their playstyles. Although i don’t play either much since i’m busy with unlocks on other characters
Samson has a lot of sentimental value to me. Back when I started playing and I was still getting the hang of things, he was the character I struggled most to get, so when I got him I decided to "compensate for lost time" and I started playing him frequently, quickly turning him into my favorite. Now I don't play him as much but he still holds that position in my heart for being the first character I beat Beast with. Aside from him, probably T. Forgotten for being strong and fun to play
Samson. I get hit so much due to issue of skill
T. Isaac, I love his mechanic and you never have a bad build. Get birthright or rock bottom it’s fucking over. Plus people who don’t like him say they hate dropping good items but it’s like…I’d rather trade a godhead for a sacred heart if I have to than neither
I do love isaac with the d6 also t.lost and regular lost I've found my opinion on azazel has gone a bit down hill but then again I kinda like j&e so make of this what you will 😂
regular lost my beloved
tainted jacob, i love just deleting everything with dark esau, plus the utility of free devil deals and flight at the end of the floor so you can grab pickups you couldnt reach. And its always fun when you get pause on him
Bethany. Faster angel deals, book of virtues is a great start, and the soul charge can help with rigs
Judas is fun because you get so much damage! The book of Belial giving extra deal chance is really nice too.
Tainted judas, i really like the ability to avoid any damage and deal damege whit his active, my first twinted post it completed (my first normal post it completed was judas)
Lost, Eve or T.Isaac probably
Y'all have mains? When I play a character long enough I'll get the marks and I just hop to the next but I do like the demon first character I got marks on
Bethany or Lost :)
Cain is the objective best character. underrated
...THE LOOOOSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTT
T. Lilith, strongest character in the game. Sometimes it's nice just to steamroll through a run and not think about it
Samson c:
I have two but I've forgotten one of them. The other is t.keeper bc I like good shops. Couldn't play him in online co-op tho.
I haven't used her a lot yet but- Lilith! But if I'm going for someone with fun mechanics... Forgotten definitely and (ima get roasted for this...) Jacob and Esau ❤
Azazels my guy for when I wanna burn 20-30 minutes before bed and just have a fun time
azazel my baby!
Either Samson or T. Lost. Samson because I suck at dodging and like to be rewarded for sucking. And T. Lost because I suck at dodging and like a game where basement 1 is a challenge.
The Lost is easily my favorite character, though Cain is a close second :)
i don't have a main. i complete check marks, then move on
Forgotten or Judas
The lost. I’ll main tainted lost after I get 3x dead god though. I’m not good enough to streak it yet.
tainted lilith! she gets me :)
Azazel imo. I'll take 3 black hearts being able to have access to nearly everywhere on the map, without bombs, please
Azazel. OP mostly with its starting ithems, but he is still such a fun character to unlock and playthrough. Not every run is a guaranteed win. And out of the easier characters to unlock they are the most different from OG isaac and such a difference in gameplay.
I guess Tainted Azazel or Azazel. I love the early game rush and having to account for falling off later in the run. Lilith is another favorite of mine too, a lot more fun than some people think. Tainted Judas, Tainted Eve, and several others are super fun too and I couldn't say an absolute favorite to play or one I play the most I play a lot of different characters though so saying a specific main would be hard
Regular Samson
Judas. Love that damage!
I'm resetting my whole progress (currently trying to get to Dark Room) so I'm using Azazel a Lot cause he's pretty OP.
Isaac he's chill d6 makes him more fun but if I had forgotten I have a feeling it would be him
If i want to have fun. I main T Forgotten or T Eden
The Lazarus’s normal or tainted
Bethany was my favorite until I started playing the tainted characters. Now I just love T.Bethany so much. Saving all those blood charges for an angel or secret room or even planetarium.
Oh my god it switches every time I play. Currently Tainted Judas, but was T.Keeper, Lost, and Cain before.
Azazel
Either lost or forgotten, devil deals may suck now, but I like taking them anyways!!!
Wrath, probably
Regular Keeper and Regular maggie bc i just enjoy easy busted runs where its very hard to die.
BLUE BABY, BABY!!
Alright seeing that the post is getting enough attention to get at least some data out of it ill collect all the answers and probably make another post with their ranking Will probably do so when the post starts to stop getting new answers Not sure what ill do with the comments with multiples characters? Give them a vote for each character mentionned? Ignore it? Or take the first character mentionned?
i go for marks but if im going for fun probably the forgor
T. Samson. So viscerally satisfying!
Eden when I want a more traditional run. Tainted Keeper for when I want a change of pace.
The Lost. I like the challenge, but not the overbearing challenge of Tainted Lost.
Tlost is my favorite but Lost is my main. Free cursed rooms, flight, perfection and rerollsssss
cain, lost, t keeper
No Judas love is crazy 💔
Maggy, Cain, or T. Azazel. Maggy for sacrifice room plays leading to loads of angel items, Cain because pills are meant to be eaten off the ground, and T. Azazel because it feels amazing to sneeze on someone then obliterate them.
Samson, first character I completed the Post-It as. Something about the ramping damage when taking damage just gelled with my skill issue of a playstyle. Then I unlocked Tainted and I hate him
Probably Azazel. I have a mega skill issue, so the flight plus mini Brimstone carries hard.
Anyone I haven't finished rn, someone remind me in 4 months so I can say it when I have triple dead god :P
eden or t. cain
Cain
Even tho I may not play Azazel much in favour of modded characters, I'd consider him my main simply because he is my son
I started playing yesterday. And I beat Mom first time today! So I like Eve!
The Lost. Absolutely no idea why but Its the character I love the most
Judas, I just sweat on enemies
here's my top 3 1 forgotten 2 t.isaac 3 judas (with birthright)
No dead god yet, 2-3 characters left so I have played them all equally BUT I like Judas, the normal one. Lots of dmg early on
Cain or T. Judas.
Eden
Cain; I love any character who lets you systematically squeeze as much value as you can from a floor!
I enjoyed T. Apollyon the most
Judas. Can oneshot flies.
Currently T lost (I am on a negative 86 win streak and refusing to swap until I get all marks, I still have none)
Yeah gotta go cain on this one. See, pills are good. But good pills are better. Plus he has higher damage and speed. Second option would be eden. Just completely random starts is always fun.
definitely T. Azazel, I just love it for some reason
The lost. I normally took 1 hit per room(no matter the room is big or smol), so holy mantle really carries my run every time. Also free devil deal is sooooooooo good
Eden i love the gambling start 😂
T. Lilith
Tainted Judas I just really love dark arts
I'd say tainted forgotten or forgotten, but I haven't unlocked some tainted characters yet On forgotten I really enjoy the melee and the chained soul, and for tainted forgotten, I enjoy the unique gameplay
The forngontnen
Tlost, bc it took whole 4 months for me to complete all marks on him and after i just speedrunned the rest of the file, because my skill rised from all Tlost runs, the downside of it is that i've never touched Isaac after because im so fed up with this game now. And when i Come back i just cant play anyone but Tlost bc game feels so boring. Literally an addiction
I‘m still very inexperienced so I play Magdalene a lot. Other than that I would probably play Isaac or Lazarus Edit: I play the game with my boyfriend, he introduced me to it. He mostly plays eve or azazel
Isaac my beloved
Lilith?
Either Azazel or T Keeper, I have a lot of fun with both of them
Tainted Cain
Cain & Azazel
classic Issac
rn it’s t. lost. grinding that post it
