New #1 Best Item

[Seb]

Lemegeton.
It’s easily the single most over powered item in the game now and guarantees a won run like almost every time.
You can unlock it by defeating Deirium as Tainted Bethony.
It's found in Devil Rooms and Libraries
She also starts with Lemegeton as her active item.
What’s your favourite item so far in Repentance?

most of them can if you're good enough ;)

but literally urn of souls carries a run by itself because there's literally a challenge where you literally just win with urn of souls by itself and it's super easy and not a challenge because that's how good the item is

literally spirit sword can carry a run because it did for me when I had 2 damage and low tears and T.Maggie and it let me kill Mother.

Psy fly can pretty much carry a run all by itself

Dark arts, berserk, revelation, psy fly, etc can carry a run to a degree. They make otherwise awful runs bearable and winnable.

red key, stairway, rock bottom, echo chamber, r key, glitched crown, etc pretty much guarantee a win, of course not all by themselves but no one plays isaac and only picks up a single item. Synergistic items are usually the most fun anyway!

You seem to get it, what I mean is most of these items depend on you getting something to make up for their weaknesses (e.g. needing some sort of damage for when urn of souls runs out in a boss fight, rock bottom needing you picking up items that give stats. Etc.). But lemegeton IS the DMG up, the tears up, the psy fly, the Brimstone, everything. By the time you manage to lose a wisp, you already got 4 more. You are practically guaranteed to have 3 rings of wisps by floor 4.

lemegeton can and does carry all by itself, most the time. But it still has a weakness of wisps being temporary and also the risk of some wisps being detrimental.
on delirium (and some rooms where a bunch of enemies bum rush you with not enough space for you AND your wisps to dodge) you're almost guaranteed to lose 90%+ of your wisps and then you need to rely on the other items you got in your run.

ok, but I'm waiting for the video showing the first time win against delirium with lemegeton only first ;)

i literally recorded a literal video that shows me literally killing d2lerium with legit only lemegetom. i literally didn't upload to utube though. IM LITERALLY SO DUMB.

[PreLife]

lemetegon is really hard to abuse when you aren’t playing as Bethany. the stairway is my preferred nonsense item generator

[Miles (Tails) Prower]

With tainted bethany if you get converter = infinite items.

[Sirius]

My favourite item in Repentance is probably the updated Technology. Well that and the Spirit Sword. Both are fun and effective to use.

tainted judas and soul converter also breaks the game. That's how I got hard mode boss rush, hush , mega stan and deli done in one go. It'll probably get nerfed soon enough.

Yeah. Good thing we managed to witness how buggy it is.

[Rio]

Echo chamber with only reversed justice card is major op. Every time you use a card/pill/rune it'll spawn like 4 golden chests. Even with just a hierophant card its pretty busted.

Like do yourself a favor and don't unlock the bad reversed cards until you've done all the hard unlocks.

A full health pill/sun card is op too.

Unless you take a terrible pill, a black rune, or something, its sooo busted op.

[we are number one]

rotten tomato is very op too bosses literally cant attack you because they keep hitting theirselves like in mother fight

[fromage_enrage]

My fav new item has got to be Star of Bethlehem. The concept is amazing and the raw power it brings you is downright incredible. It carried my Jacob & Esau run... until I had to face Mega Satan =(

What’s your favourite item so far in Repentance?

Proptosics or Polyphempus or maybe Tech X is the best early game items because you can find in treasure room on spawn

so it deals lots of damage to enemies

[HeraldOfOpera]

I mean, saying the best item is the one that gets you like 20 more items isn't wrong, per se, but it does feel like cheating. Similar deal with Stairway, R Key and Red Key, all of which have most of their strength in just burying you in other items that are what actually wins the game. Rock Bottom is a bit of a different case, in that it needs you to find those other items naturally, and needs to be found first to boot. It can get hilariously absurd... or do literally nothing.
