blue baby is TRASH

[Butthead]

i just recently unlocked blue baby, and he is GARBAGE, its hard for me to get past mom!
everytime i play him i get the worst drops, annoying bosses, bad items, and buffed enemies (colored enemies) i know you can get the ankh, but what are the chances of that?

the reason i hate blue baby more then the lost and the keeper is because i need blue baby to get the d6, which i really want

Blue baby is probably one of the easier characters, because of the high chance to get deals with the devil. Use tinted rocks.

Which isn't as difficult as you'd think.
The hardest parts are the first 2 floors, where you should avoid any damage to afford your first devil deal.
Blue Baby and The Lost are the only ones with a guaranteed devil room on floor 2, because they cannot take any red-heart damage (Always having the highest chances of getting a devil room is kind of a big deal.), but unlike The Lost, Blue Baby still benefits from HP-Up items.

Doing "some" challenges and plowing through The Lost and Keeper stuff really puts his "difficulty" into perspective.

Keep in mind that Devil Deals with Blue Baby will cost 3 soul hearts, though.

However, there are some really nice Devil Room items that are incredibly good for Blue Baby, like Lady of Carnal Favors of Babylon, Dark Bum, Satanic Bible, Death's Touch, The Nail, The Pact and Abbadon.

I would also recommend gaining as many unlocks from easier characters, doing a lot of challenges, and maxing out the donation machine to add some other good items to the pools.

thanks for the help

Yeah, devil rooms are really important as every character, except for Keeper, maybe.

I'd rather have no treasure rooms, than no devil rooms. That's how good most devil items are.

Since you have Afterbirth, Empty Vessel and items, which contributes to the Leviathan transformation (Flight +3 Black Hearts) should also be quite helpful to you.

Another tip: If you see Blank Card (if unlocked), take it. You may find a Hierophant-card or Dagaz-rune (if unlocked). This would be a better alternative to The Nail, Book of Revelations and Satanic Bible. You should take those over Blank Card, tho, if you have not found a Hierophant-card or Dagaz-rune to go along with it.

But as Phaper said, you should stick with other characters first, practice your dodging and most importantly, get familiar with all the items in the game.

Edit: If you just want the D6 for now, just keep doing runs as usual and keep an eye out for the item "Ankh". It'll give you an extra life; If you die, you'll respawn as Blue Baby with 3 soul hearts (you'll keep all your items). So if you're getting powerful enough as any character and make it through the Cathedral, kill yourself before fighting Isaac and beat him as revived Blue Baby.

ALWAYS take items like ceremonial robes, abbadon and the pact. The fact that they provide soul hearts/black hearts immedietly on pickup makes them pay for themselves instantly. (You cannot die between the purchase and recieving soul hearts)

I've always felt it a bit odd about how health up items work with ???. In every other instance in the game (Devil deals, soul converter, Guppy's paw, etc.) red hearts and soul hearts are treated on a 3:1 ratio. I'm not the greatest at dodging so I occasionally run into health deficiencies on bad runs. Since it feels like all the "hard" characters got buffs to help them deal with the red hearts=useless problem, I'd personally like to see health up items have a bit more boost to them for ??? but then again I basically got most of his unlocks except for greed mode and that's a whole other animal to the normal runs so I'm not sure how well that applies.

Hard early on but he is pretty awesome with the polaroid.

wait, does guppys paw work with blue baby?

I don't think so since he doesn't have any actual red hearts to work with. But as said above, anything that acts on having little or no red hearts works immediately like the Polaroid or the ♥♥♥♥♥ of Babylon.

ok
