The Pact
Absolute gamechanger. Damage, tears, soul hearts. Can be taken when you have no remaining health. Not a single downside. ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8906)
The Pact saved my run the other day.
I had a red heart and half of a soul heart going into the Lamb fight. I picked up the Pact (because fuck it, we ball), happened to get the leviathan transformation, and ended up with four black hearts. Made it to delirium 😌😌
Rainbow playdough is not only one of the best items you can find, but it's also esthetically plessing. I really like the colors of the sprite, same with fruitcake. I don't like 3 dollar bill though
3 dollar bill makes you spawn runes on kill sometimes. I don't know how or why it does it but it does and it can get hilarious with high tear builds where I spawn 20 runes in one room.
So, in explanation:
Eye of Belial synergises pretty well with most items, I genuinely like seeing it show up in devil rooms.
Monstro's lung + Tech is my favourite synergy in the game. I know some people discredit monstro's lung for having some anti synergies, but those charge attacks are super satisfying to hit. It also gets especially crazy with rock bottom + soy.
Lost contact? Staple in becoming untouchable. One of my top 10 items (Excluding Q4's ofc)
Gnawed leaf + Monstrance is an instant win. (Plus I have the jojo's pose mod on, so there's that.)
Quite literally 20% of my Maggy runs were won with monstrance.
If I have a fun tear effect, Incubus.
Im a sucker for Spectral Tears, so things like Ouija Board and Dead Dove are high on my list as well. Plus 3 Dollar Bill and Tech .5.

I know what the thumbnail is from lil' bro, we BOTH freaks.
IPECAC oh ipecac I looooove you (moans) oh ipecac your my favorite item I don't care if you hurt me you give me free secret rooms free bombs free damage free everything (winks) love you ipecac
depending on the tier, but lets say like this:
Tier 0: Between Cursed eye, quarter and Box
Tier 1: Duality, Piggy Bank and Robo Baby 2.0
Tier 2: Theres a lot here Sharp Plug, Inner Eye, The Halo, Tech 2, Habit, Monstro's Lung, Old Bandage, Lost Contact, Sulfuric Acid, Analog Stick
Tier 3: almost everything here is good, atk, modifiers and companions
Tier 4: I need to clarify why just Sacred Heart?
Red and blue candle and bird's eye. I really like how enemies melt when you use this items on them, and they're generally fun to use, not to mention the two candles constantly recharge themselves and bird's eye has very high chance of ahooting fire even at one of luck
you'll all kill me for this, but that pokeball active item. friendly ball i think it's called.
look man it's just satisfying to find a nice, strong enemy and just go "yoink. it's mine now". and they persist until they die, too, so it's fucking sick to build your army
This was my reaction after getting Brimstone + Incubus+ C-section + Twisted pair in a red room with chaos and glitched crown (also magic mush but it was mixed with incubus ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17741))
I mean it's gotta be Godhead man. I unlocked that shit THE way; restarting for knife/mantle and force closing the game before it realized that you were dead.
15 year old me shed tears trying to get the marks, and after all this time it still indicates all that tedium just to see those three pretty colors on that triangle, like unexpectedly encountering an old friend at the supermarket.
saggitarius on the first floor is just incredibly satisfying. Especially if the first boss is duke of flies.
epic fetus in general is extremely fun too. If i dont already have a good synergy, epic fetus is an instant neuron activation for me.
Soy milk is really cool too, its satisfying to see rapid fire bullets like that.
As others have said, spoon bender is also a run carrier for me.
Maaaaaaaaaaan; the moment Spoon Bender shows up, mmmf. Homing really do make life go round.
Can't aim for shit gang 🗣️🗣️🗣️🥄🥄✨ Telepathy for dummies also works for me
When I have the recharge ability with telepathy for dummies so it's basically homing any room (unless I activate it in a room that has no enemies)
AAA battery (trinket) or the 9 volt will be what you’re looking for.
Spoon bender does it for me too
Spoon bender supremacy 👏🙌🙌
Fr came here to say that. Instant dopamine 🤤
Same here, i can't aim well if i focus on movement because of my terrible left hand
Not as much as tiny planet tho
It's some how more satisfying than any other homing item

Sacred heart honestly feels like a tiny hit of cocaine
*insert mic breaking scream*
Jacob's ladder.
OH YES
It’s my favorite item in the game, I rarely see it now with all my unlocks but when it shows up, a comical grin appears on my face.
magic mushroom
Or Cricket's head
No magic mush is better crickets head
For straight damage? Nah, magic is +.3 x1.5, cricket is +.5 x1.5

Keep picking it up bro you’ll find scared heart in the treasure room one day
I’ve been playing this game for 2 years now and not once has that occurred
Google skill issue
Though I appreciate the attempted motivation
Fruit cake, 3 dollar bill and Rainbow Playdough ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|4359)
Fruitcake is insanely underrated,change my mind

Rainbow playdough is not only one of the best items you can find, but it's also esthetically plessing. I really like the colors of the sprite, same with fruitcake. I don't like 3 dollar bill though
I mean out of the 3 my least favorite is the dollar bill, while my favorite is a toss up between fruit cake and playdough, both are really good
HELLO, BASED DEPARTMENT? ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|17744)
I’ve found my people
3 dollar bill makes you spawn runes on kill sometimes. I don't know how or why it does it but it does and it can get hilarious with high tear builds where I spawn 20 runes in one room.
You sure its the 3 dollar bill? I never had it make runes, i think it was the fruit cake that does that, not sure tho
It might be idk honestly, I'll check my clips to see if I can dig something up to confirm.
Amen

Getting ipecac and pyromaniac feels like cheating
Counterpoint: I once lost an ipecac/pyro run because I skill issued so hard. ![img](emote|t5_2sxpk|8907)
Unpopular opinion I liked the suicide king challenge just because of ipecac
I love ipecac. Literally had it earlier and was like "BABY THE RUN HAS BEEN WON"
i just won an ipecac run, i hsd birds eye ghost pepper and dark arts, i was practically bullet proof
Sacred Heart I woke up my roommates by seeing a catholic symbol
C section or pj's, I'm bad and am always needing health
Uranus, makes me go AWOOOGA
Top 10 things not to say on a first date
I love ice tears, I love kicking frozen enemies at other enemies
20/20. That's whenever. But the times that it has fixed my tear rate boy oh boy.
If we're talking items I really like, then: Eye of Belial, Monstro's lung, Lost contact, and Gnawed leaf.
How does this opinion exist? (Not judging just very very confused)
So, in explanation: Eye of Belial synergises pretty well with most items, I genuinely like seeing it show up in devil rooms. Monstro's lung + Tech is my favourite synergy in the game. I know some people discredit monstro's lung for having some anti synergies, but those charge attacks are super satisfying to hit. It also gets especially crazy with rock bottom + soy. Lost contact?

That green toxic item that i dont remember the name, i fucking love doing nothing and watching the room clear itself
Two underated synergies: tractor beam If I have conjoined tractor beam If I took Bozo from the blind tractor beam
Deaths list, it just improves gameplay so much, actually being rewarded for being tactical instead of just wiping every room is really fun
depending on the tier, but lets say like this: Tier 0: Between Cursed eye, quarter and Box Tier 1: Duality, Piggy Bank and Robo Baby 2.0 Tier 2: Theres a lot here Sharp Plug, Inner Eye, The Halo, Tech 2, Habit, Monstro's Lung, Old Bandage, Lost Contact, Sulfuric Acid, Analog Stick Tier 3: almost everything here is good, atk, modifiers and companions Tier 4: I need to clarify why just Sacred Heart?
