Had Toxic Shock and Polyphemus and a lot of damage ups during a run not long ago and even bosses lost like 40% of their health by me just entering a room.

Easily the best single item is Tech X

Toxic shock, bumbo and tech X are all REALLLYYYY good items. Bumbo shreds bosses, toxic shock shreds enemies, and tech x shreds bosses AND enemies.

To add to all these, I really like crown of light. It's really good and looks great.

Maw of the Void
You can literally clear an entire room by letting go of the fire key and walk towards enemies

I'm not so much of a fan of Toxic Shock myself.

Bumbo all the way, closely followed by Tech X, Serpents Kiss and Incubus.

I would love to include Black Powder and Friendly Ball, but the former lacks synergy, damage and is straight up useless later on and the latter, because it has 4 charges for catching an enemy and another 4 for releasing that captured enemy.

Tech X is a carry item, the end.
Maw of the Void is also extremely good. Flat damage up at worst, and can shred enemies/provide life if you're good at using the ring.
Bumbo is pretty useless until level 4. If you have the time and money to invest to that point, he's great, but still not quite the carry of Tech X.
Toxic Shock is good, but needs a lot of damage to be really effective- At which point the shock isn't helping you as much anyways. Similarly with Succubus, with a trade off in immediate damage vs a potential damage up. And BFF/Box of Friends/Diplopia synergies.

Tech x obviously but Incubus is very good as well. Its better than 20/20 in some situations.

Does Tech X throw bombs at other beggars? Does Tech X bomb open secret rooms? Does Tech X provide you with exactly the pickups you require?

Bumbo does. He is the best bro out there. He's the man.

Bumbo.

Bumbo is love Bumbo is life

Obviously everyone here has never found Ceremonial Robes, that is when Issac gets his groove on and games get broken.

[Benderew]

That item turns issac into a badass

[wckowalski]

Maw of the void's black ring doesn't work as Lillith (or a blindfolded challenge run).

My favourite Item in the game is the D6 OBVIOUSLY
