Post-upload notes: 1) I forgot to mention a serious buff about Isaac's Heart - enemies now target Isaac instead of the heart and its hitbox is smaller than before.
I always wonder if BFF makes Isaac's heart bigger or smaller. From different point of views: -BFF makes every companion bigger, so ig it would do with Isaac's heart. That means a higher hitbox. -If BFF buffs companions, an Isaac's heart buff is a size down
I thing I realized about glass cannon, is that because the damage you take when it's charged cannot be lethal, you can actually survive a hit with 1 heart pass the womb, because the glass cannon hit cannot be lethal, and you only take half a heart of damage. This is also the only reason I killed Delirium as eden, as I had 9 lives, and had only 1 heart
Yeah I was actually putting off unlocking it cause I didn't realise it had been changed and I didn't want it clogging up my item pools, but definitely gonna get it now
@@tlkfanrwbyfan8716 Tbh you can't rework T-Cain to not break the game in some way, being able to make your own items just does that on its own. They might blacklist Edens Blessing however, so he cant make 10 of those and pass them to Tainted Lost or smth.
Edmund when reworking Isaac's Heart: maybe I should improve a couple of the worse items, and change their drawbacks instead. Make them more fair. _Kilburn when reworking White Pony: *Let's make it unfair in the other direction.*
White Pony was not great since It usually arrives in a point of the run you don't need the active. Flight and Base 1.5x Speed is nice but not worth giving up your "Usually good" Active unless you have some trash Isaac's tears or Lemon Mishap.
One of the main reasons why I love this DLC is that they barely made you go "oh come on!! That's a shit item" because alot of them are pretty useful now
@@pikminman13 The d20 is useful in many cases. Mainly games breaks on greed mode. It makes greed mode a easy win due to you being able to get game breaks and even if not, keys for free alot more hp and some items from chests. Its not to useful in the normal game but its usefulness in cheesing greed is enough for it to be mentioned.
i was doing the solar system challenge and i picked up white pony because i got conquest on womb 1. i thought to myself "ah fuck it let's just take it thats more safe orbital damage" i then proceeded to fucking oneshot it lives and finally beat that stupid challenge. this item is fucking incredible now
Hot Take: with how many items got buffed to be good now, i really don't mind the nerfs some other items got. plus, most of the major items that got nerfed are still good. It just means that the really good runs have more interesting synergies.
new holy water is really good but it can't honestly compare to how fucking good ghost paper is now(single handedly makes lost or tainted low easy apon getting it) /how dinifity is in the top 5 best active items from being every one of the dice items
@@RandomWizard55 To be fair dinfiity was a f tier item as it was to random to ever be anywhat useful. It was a level of shit as you couldn't really use it for anything as it was random and unlike dead sea scrolls poping a random dice item in a uncleared room
2:23 another important thing that changed, is the enemies, now they still target Isaac, on Afterbirth+ they instead target the heart. This is a great change, making you take much less damage because the enemies will target Isaac which is immortal and can block shoots.
White pony also lasts between room, meaning you can literally dash through an entire corridor if you aim for the door, until you hit a wall, if I remember correctly from my experience so far with the new DLC!
Converter's buffs are pretty crazy, but the even crazier part is the interaction with Tainted Judas, as any hearts he gains become black hearts. This means you can convert black hearts.....into black hearts. The act of converting them triggers their necronomicon effect, which mean you can mash the active item button to slaughter everything for the rest of the run as long as you don't lose health from enemy death effects or something.
Now I feel like there should be a challenge where you just have Aquarius and a blindfold, but all the items that don’t synergize with Aquarius don’t show up.
I recently got an interesting synergy, bob's rotten head will bounce on the floor if you have the flat stone meaning it creates explosions and poison clouds every time it touches the floor.
Isaac's heart feels like a sideways move for me, it's way better by itself but at the same time it lost some of its best synergies, so I don't know how to feel.
It lost some synergies but gained, - A smaller hitbox - A defense mechanism (push,tears and '' bullet reflect'') - The ability to stay behind you when firing - Anti aggro (they target the body now. ) - A ''invincible'' bodyshield dmg - creep - and tainted maggie (technically not a buff but if you know you know) All around a net positive.
I find that it's now a good defensive standalone item, instead of a gimmicky escort mission the size of a other character, hoping to profit in situations which while unlikely for some can just never come leaving you with a burden or at most a side grade.
@@Nitosa Not really net positive. The heart counts as a familiar staying in the normal familiar line, so even if you use body block you might still be easier to get hit during tense fights. Also, getting size down has been easy since AB but is even easier in Repentance, which is useful in normal gameplay but counter-productive when you have the heart. The most important part is, though, the original synergies of Isaac's heart were all literally run-winning, just like spamming Blood Rights to outright kill everything that is not immune to damage, or sacrificing the heart to make you invulnerable against all hostile damage. I do consider the change being generally proper, but I feel pity for losing those synergies and therefore won't consider it being an overall buff.
@@alter5793 i would say it made the item better on its own, without chance of a other item. And while it's still in the familiar line it's at least smart enough to get behind when shooting.
And the award for best buff in Isaac goes to: Holy Water. It went from the worst angel item in the game to good Bob's Brain, and one of the better Angel Items IMO. Having a projectile that leaves petrified creep makes alot of the most infuriating enemies in the game an absolute cakewalk to deal with.
Missed opportunity to showcase synergy Book of Virtues + Notched Axe. Whenever you destroy rocks - you can get one of few wisps with different properties which is Coal Wisp, Iron Wisp, Redstone Wisp and Diamond Wisp. Yes. This is completely Minecraft reference now. Also fun fact: With Bethany you can use Notched Axe even when it's discharged w/o losing soul hearts/red hearts by spamming SpaceBar whenever you want to hit.
Deep pocets are now op with contract from below and guppys tail, as they give bigger chance for no reward Aries is now just moveable and posiblle to shot down gnawked leaf but with boosted high heels
hard carrys are items that help u own ur own, and deep pockets without money = power or similiar is not really useful+ even then getting the 999 coins is hard
The item becomes almost useless once you reach the womb. Some more beggars and gambling machines won’t be a huge game changer. Key word here is more; you will often have max money by the end of the game to use on them.
Bob's Rotten Head also now inherits certain tear effects such as splitting effects like Parasite and Cricket's Body. Which will most certainly catch you off-guard and damage you at least once.
Taoist's 3rd skill ability from Soul Knight was inspired from the White Pony item (10:15) from Binding of Isaac. It's great to see roguelite references from other cool games
I mean yes. It is very good with tainted maggie but i don't think i would pick it up with other characters. Also it wouldn't be a run ender if i took it with any character blinded
My only big issue that I still have with isaac’s heart is it makes dodging brimstone or some explosions a massive pain, and a lot of the late game seems to be composed of these. It’s a nice find otherwise.
Not rly because isaacs heart was picked up for its huge bonus’s (free donation machines, dark beggars etc) but now it can’t do any of that so I don’t think it’s worth grabbing now imo
@@IsaacGuru I personally use it to Full Clear a floor when I am in the conditions to only obtain soul hearts so that evedy room rewards a Soul Heart, giving me tons of Health. It can also be used this way to Cycle through Trinkets faster than Mom's Box or Obtain tons of bombs for Boss Armor bosses.
Aquarius + knockout drops is hilarious. Anything that tries following you gets blasted back with each tick, usually either killing the enemy outright, or launching them so far you don't even have to fight them.
Another candidate I would put up is *Stop Watch.* This isn't really any new Repentance excitement, but its old effect came back to an extent: It now, on top of a 0.3 speed up, _slows everything in the game down_ making all rooms, bosses, and etc easier to dodge passively.
Honestly think the Notched axe should get some uses back for charges back from batteries, beggars and like special battery items like the 4.5 volt maybe could be cool
Yeah an idea is that 4.5 volt only works if you damage them with the pickaxe, so if you wanted to use it, you'd have to hit very precise shots to get the durability back
@@timmyreobed5043 I love it, personally. And most people don't know this, but damaging status effects like burn and poison deal a damage tick the instant they're applied in Repentance, making Fire Mind effectively a 2x damage multiplier.
If you have the butter trinket, glass canon and you play with tainted isaac, you will have the item that you want. For example, if you go to the angel room, and use glass canon, it drops and you choose between glass canon and another angel item.
I thought deep pockets was just a change from 99 to 999 max coins for the change and was disappointed when I read about it. Then I picked it up and was confused why a bunch of coins kept dropping.
Broken Modem not being on here seems absolutely insane. Either #1 or #2 for me. Now it is like a budget (but not too budget) Psy Fly/Bot Fly, Pause, and Contract From Below all rolled into one.
Isaac's Heart? Controversial? More like necessary and welcomed. I actually took Isaac's Heart out of my own volition. The damage I took was negligible, but the charge-up ability... MMMM. That ability is a killer on bullet-hell bosses. If you hated the heart in the past, try it now. There are still downsides, yes, but the upsides are fairly worthwhile. You just have to get used to it for a bit.
Im surprised he didn't talk about its reduced hitbox or its bullet reflect. And of course the anti aggro (enemies are aggressive against the body not the heart now)
Fun fact: Notched Axe has unlimited uses with Bethany as long as she has a soul heart. Just have to keep "using" it Therefore, unlimited "bombs" (Thank you WakerLink for informing!)
And funnily enough even bobs brain got buffed. - Dmg 60-->100 - Most bomb dmg going through armor - And a little bit more wait time when entering a new room.
Finally someone talking about Jalapeño with luck.. it is so insane, at least 3x overall dps I think. I had it it once and was so sad when I lost the trinket.
Isaac’s heart is very situational item T. Maggie benefits the most from it imo Even if you get hit you still gain so many free extra hearts that don’t effect devil chance With serpents kids can even give free black hearts for no cost
I’ve always liked ghost pepper and seeing it get buffed is heart warming, but why did they have to change its sprite! It’s original sprite looked so cute.

Therefore, unlimited "bombs"
(Thank you WakerLink for informing!)
Nope, works in a normal run too, found that out today while doing a Bethany to Mother run
@@waker_link Oh, never thought to test it on regular Bethany
6:30
That Fatty in the bottom of the room: _NANI!?_ What’s this?! A worthy opponent? Finally, you shall see my true *power*!
No mention of Shard of Glass? It went from basically useless to a huge DPS up with an interesting effect.
Doesnt it drain your life tho ?
@@krsardoche9757 Yeah, but really slowly. And only red hearts.
Honestly I would consider that as a nerf. I stopped picking up this item due to that fact.
I was sure in my mind that once glass cannon breaks it breaks for good...
It's more realistic like that, but this is isaac
The buffs to Isaac's Heart made The Guardian challenge really easy.
Something you forgot about Isaacs heart is that enemies now target your body instead of the heart
Holy water is now bob's brain but without dumb mistakes that kills isaac
And funnily enough even bobs brain got buffed.
- Dmg 60-->100
- Most bomb dmg going through armor
- And a little bit more wait time when entering a new room.
And an stun for most enemies and good for bosses
7:59 ah yes, my favorite home boss, monstro
Finally someone talking about Jalapeño with luck.. it is so insane, at least 3x overall dps I think. I had it it once and was so sad when I lost the trinket.
I dont know if anyone mentioned this but picking up the iron bar item with the notched axe repairs the axe
The ghost pepper + perfection combo was main reason i beat mother as lost after literally 147 failed attempts
Taurus with Tainted Forgotten is a beast
4:49 emerald pickaxe.
Very useful for strip mining.
Now I actually pick up these items!!
The isaac's heart buffs make the guardian challenge fun to play
Getting White Pony with Eden at start is basically a won run
I think the boomerang also got a major buff being able to freeze any enemy in the game making it good all the way up to final bosses
Its funny how a lot of good items like brimstone or holy mantle got nerfed but some usless items now are pretty good choices in a run
Isaac’s heart is very situational item
T. Maggie benefits the most from it imo
Even if you get hit you still gain so many free extra hearts that don’t effect devil chance
With serpents kids can even give free black hearts for no cost

I love this community
Fun fact, it's just a coincidence.
White pony plus 4.5 volt do be a spicy combo
So that's why my Beth + Bob's Rotten Head run was so good!
I’ve always liked ghost pepper and seeing it get buffed is heart warming, but why did they have to change its sprite! It’s original sprite looked so cute.
