The Lost vs The Keeper (opinion)
A couple of hours i post something about completing all the marks for Keeper and the Lost, and then people went crazy about who is the worse character or wich one is more or less fun.

This is just an opinion and i am doing this because of fun.

So, The Lost pros.

Permanent fly
Permanent spectral tears
Holy Mantle
D4 (A little useless if you lost your holy mantel as well)
Can do devil deals for free
Neutral stats
Works great with dead cat (And is a good synergie because he has a lot of % about devil rooms)

The lost cons.

1 true hit and GG
No way to regain any health at all
A true pain in the *ss if you are doing greedier mode.
1hp up items or heart generators are useless

The Keeper pros.

Permanent triple shot
Start with more damage
Ways to regain health in battle
Ways to gain more coins containers (Greed gullets, but is a little rare)
Great manage of the shops
Good manage of money in the whole run (Money = Power and just spam ur wooden penny)
Great control of the angels rooms
Some items can give him more sustain (ej. swallowed penny) (I think i spelled that bad, sorry)
Great in any Greed Mode
As long you progress on the keepers gets a little bit better (1 penny more, the store key, wooden penny, etc)

The Keepers cons

Cannot fly (Hi, Apollyon)
Tear rate really slow
Cannot do any devil deals without risking your life (Less you have 1h up waiting you in boss room)
-2 luck down at start
0.80 of speed (i think)
The invulnerability after getting hit is not enough time to get a coin in the room, so if you are in a bad spot is almost gg
Is not that great with the Dead cat unless you have a 1hp up inf that floor.
A pain in the *ss in any normal run

My opinion.

I think is meant to be that keeper is the hardest of all, i mean yes, if you have some items like Tech X and some tears up and a item of damage is pretty sure you actually win the run, but the fact that he starts really bad in stats coul really f*uck up your run, so if you have a unfair or hard room without any fly is almost gg. (Hi, 2 mushroom and 4 spiders, f*uck you)

The Lost has more ways to dodge everything, with the super mega buff of the holy mantel in Afterbirth and the free devil deals gives him some strong power.

Yeah, The keeper can have more life if you get the greed gullet, but that is a item actually some rare, i have seen just 2 times in the gold rooms so if you are luck enough a unfair room shouldnt kill you.

I think The Lost is more fun, and the keeper more challeging and more rewarding if you do things right.

And please for gods sake Lilith isnt that bad. he can have hearts, do devil deals just fine if you had enough soul hearths, and for boss rooms you can double your damage, (x3 or even more if you have the right items) In that terns makes ??? harder than Lilith.

...plus devil deal ability about half of the time...

Um... Lost has the best odds for Devil Deals of anyone. All you have to do is survive. And Lost gets all Devil Deals free. All of them! Keeper can't take anything for 2 hearts without Judas' Tongue or he dies instantly and you need a health-up on that floor to even get a one heart deal. For Devil Deals, Keeper is literally the worst and Lost is the best by far.
And lets not forget that Abbadon instantly kills Keeper even if he has Judas' tounge for the deal. And Abbadon is a pretty great item too.

Keeper effectively being unable to take Devil Deals wouldn't be so bad...except Angel Deals are generally worse than Devil Deals.

Yes, there's some good items (Halo, Sacred Heart, Holy Mantle, Holy Light, Godhead, Crown of Light, Censer, Habit, and Circle of Protection), but that's only 9 items, and the pool is 32 total items.

That's roughly a 28% chance of getting something good, which doesn't sound bad...until you realize that there's quite a few more 'good' items in the Devil Deals, and you can get multiple items in a single Devil Deal.

It's also harder to force Angel Rooms, so you'd be lucky to get even a couple throughout a Keeper run.

The other thing is that the odds to get items are WAY better in Devil Rooms. Angel Rooms hardly ever have items. You'll be lucky to get two in a run. Devil Deals not only have much better odds for items, they often have two or three - sometimes five! - items to choose from. I have exactly zero motivation to go for Angel Rooms, unless I have to fight Mega Satan.

Angel rooms with an item inside should have reroll machines. Angel rooms with no items should have a chance for angel beggers who take soul hearts.

It would also be nice if you could get two items in an Angel Room sometimes. Even if it was just an item option, not two free items. Maybe even three options sometimes? If they did that, and upped the odds to find items in the first place, I'd actually want to get Angel Rooms.

Why do you think Keeper > Lost?

either you read the post you quoted, or you didn't.


also, libra is literally the best item as the keeper, you go from ♥♥♥♥ garbage to actually viable character in one single passive.

as the rest of the characters, it's probably a run ruiner.

Okay, there's Libra, but there's also Dead Cat. It rips your health down to 1, every time you die. For any other character, it's hardly ever worth it. For Lost, that's 9 free lives, which is basically a guarinteed win.

That said, Libra is pretty rare. Dead Cat is pretty common. And that said, they're both just one item out of 400+. Car Battery is great for Lilith, but it sucks for Isaac. Many items are better for one character than another. Overall however, as I noted earlier, Lost has all kinds of advantages, but Keeper hasn't got much.

Every angel room has an item, if you can reroll the key piece.

Dead cat is almost always worth it, because there are several benefits to relying on soul hearts and playing on 0 or 1 red heart and if you got only one red heart it costs nothing. Also it counts towards the Guppy transformation.

Libra is a nice starting item for most characters, because it will makes every range up a small damage up, making a lot of boss items more useful. Also it gives you keys, bombs and coins.
And Chocolate Milk as well as Tech X (and God Head of course) are better for Keeper tbh.

Well, yeah... If you're Isaac, or happen to find the super rare D6. Devil Rooms have deals for everyone... Except ???, because losing 3 heath with him usually sucks.

And you're right that Dead Cat is better than I give it credit for, but with most characters it's only potentially useful sometimes. (bringing this back to the subject) With Lost, it's pure gold. Lost never has a reason not to take Dead Cat... for free.

Pethro, Dice Shard, D100, D infinity and Cracked Dice are also options. You can also collect the item and use Crooked Penn/Diplopia on the pedestal. And Crooked Penny doesn't seem to be rare yet for some reason.

I get use out of dead cat most times. When I have at least 2 soul heart I will take it. The one heart thing can ruin some builds but playing with one heart is much better as long as you have soul hearts.

Btw did you now, that you can pick up soul and black hearts while isaac holds an item up? If you got soul hearts in the devil room, you can sacrifice all your health and won't die, if you pick up the soul hearts. Pretty useful for ???.

nah libra is a terrible item if you don't get enough stat ups to back it up, but with the keeper it's a direct upgrade all by itself, i'm pretty sure it bypasses the normal triple shot fire rate cap as well.

there's also the holy trinity of garbage as far devil deals, betrayal, athame and a red chest containing garbage, nothing worth taking there, athame if you already have maw of the void good luck and want to lose red heart containers though.

that deal shows up far too often, at least for me, it's like, oh ♥♥♥♥ you too game.

Why do you think Keeper > Lost?

either you read the post you quoted, or you didn't.

Your claim was based on 'sometimes being able to take a single one-heart deal'. That's well below the deal-taking ability of every other character.


also, libra is literally the best item as the keeper, you go from ♥♥♥♥ garbage to actually viable character in one single passive.

as the rest of the characters, it's probably a run ruiner.

Libra is generally a good item. Comes with 6 or more consumables of each type, and turns all stat ups into 'all stat ups'.

Perthro and Dice Shard are just one-offs and D100, D infinity, and Cracked Dice are all gambles. D6 is the only reliable one. Etc., etc., certain item, Gnawed Leaf, etc...

This isn't about items this is about the characters themselves. Starting items matter. Everything else is RNG. Also staring abilites... like free f***in Devil Deals! And flight with spectral tears. And the freakin Mantle! It's Lost all the way.

the point being made, for the totally retarded out there, was that the ability to take a deal as the keeper seems lower than it actually is.

I'd rather get skinny odd mushroom on keeper over libra.
