Tainted Blue Baby is the least fun I've had with a character so far (I changed my mind)

[Str4ng3]

I have completed all the normal characters and the first four tainted ones (Isaac, Maggy, Cain and Judas), and holy ♥♥♥♥, I hate T. Blue Baby's gimmick.

I find it so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tedious to have to juggle around these literal piles of ♥♥♥♥, I think I've already lost like 4 or 5 runs in a row with him because I'm always way too distracted trying to work around with the poops to actually pay attention to most of the things on my screen (including poisonous gas clouds that I myself generate, resulting in me taking a bunch of damage because I accidentally hold/throw a fire poop at them and get exploded); maybe I should just ignore his gimmick and use my tears more often.

I'm not necessarily saying that the character is bad or anything, I'm just venting a bit of my early frustration with it I guess, maybe my opinion will change in the future.

Edit: after playing around with him a little bit (I only have Mother and Beast left) I can now say that I actually do enjoy the character.

The poop mechanic proved to be really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useful once I learn to not try to mold my runs around it, I also realised that thanks to these poops the early game can go by pretty fast, making boss rush/hush/delirium almost guaranteed to reach; it's basically blue baby with slightly worse stats and a really good alternate source of damage.

Overall way more fun than I expected.

They play exactly the same as Normal Blue Baby but poop instead of bombs. It's not that much harder. Don't focus too much on poops.

Yeah, I'm only making it harder on myself by trying to use the poops constantly, aside from that it's basically your standard Blue Baby.

Yea, I've also used poops for bombing something most of the times. While there's a lot good poop combinations to make you stronger, it's usually too risky to do

Not really, he has worse stats. I really hate his tear delay. In my best run with him so far I accidentally voided 4 books and gotten a +2 tears +2 damage up out of it on the first floor. After that he was real easy, because I only used his poops for explosives, lol.

??? Is a already hard charactee for me, its like a challenge character or weak version of isaac, still i like he due to the soul hearth mechanic but its hard alreadu even without the tainted version.

The poops are glorious if you figure them out, I recommend practicing them in greed mode to find the poop synergies because you can create some wild buffs with them.

He can be somewhat tedious to play, but he's a good kind of "unique", unlike some other tainted characters. Don't think too hard about which poops you're throwing, hold the bomb poops and be aware that they aren't the only way of creating explosions. Farts and poison poops work just as well if you throw a flame poop at the gas they leave behind.

Yeah I'm aware of the synergies and I do know how to work them out, I just don't like doing them at all, It's really tedious IMO.

i started to really enjoy him once i figured out the synergies. try to combine the poop creep and the holy poop, its OP
