Why is Maggy so bad

[CaptainBear.Ψ]

I have a -7 streak because of maggy. How do you even win (as in get to dark room) with this piece of junk. Her base damage sucks, her base speed sucks, even her base luck sucks meaning that you are more prone to bad pills, pickups and trinkets which in the long-run, can make you lose pretty fast. Any tips on maggy?

she has the same base damage and luck as Isaac, Samson, Lazarus, go figure.
she's slower, and a little sucky, but not as bad as you state

Maggy's extra starting heart makes devil deals a little easier to take, especially if you find some great 2-heart deals on Basement II. Otherwise, she's just a slower Isaac with no D6 (her other stats are identical) and a little extra survivability, which becomes not very relevant once you're good at the game. Pretty bland and boring, IMO.

I like Maggy

But i hate Eve...

[The Ripper {Panda}]

Maggy's awesome. Her base damage is the same as other characters, and she has one extra heart (plus yum heart). She's just slower, but that's tolerable.

maggy is so easy to win as but just she's really boring to play as

Why does Magdalene suck?

She's a prost¡tute ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What I'm trying to say is that her luck is pretty bad as well as her speed so you'll get bad items, Also when you fight gemini or war, they run after you which because you're that slow, they will hit you everytime. Even the mullibooms are faster.

Back to the topic, Maggy is pretty okay not the greatest Character for sure but it seems like you had some pretty bad luck with her, just keep trying and you'll win eventually.

she has the base luck of 1, same as every other character

I know the feeling. Maggy does seem like a slow Issac that slaps stuff with a wet noodle. Even Cain seems the have more punch then maggy, but her slice of heaven is in her yum heart and extra hp.

Really? Cause it just feels less lucky when playing as her

[Gravitysuitguy]

Maggy is quite literally Isaac with a +/- stat ( + hp, - speed), and she starts with the yum heart instead of the d6.

This would be because Cain starts with slightly higher damage then Isaac or Maggy. It isn't much compared to say Judas but it is still there.

The Tank challenge version of Maggy could probably outrun top-speed Contusion, and by the time you're at War you'll have enough items to either outrun it or have enough defence and offence to compensate.

First off Maggy is a really easy character to play because of high health and yum yum heart. Her con is that she's slow and quick runs to Boss Rush and Delirium become harder. The challenge April's Fool if completed gives a speed pill if your desperate to negate this which will help if you're picking up more pills to identify speed for her. The way to use her regenerative ability better is to essentially increase her charge on yum yum heart. In the original binding of Isaac she actually could be invincible also since a synergy allowing damage on hit to charge and other synergy to recharging meant every hit she able to heal back the damage received. The dark bum and gimpy add to character being better since any extra hearts can be placed into soul hearts which are so much more valuable then your base health since it's easy to obtain or convert to obtain. This also means deals in the devil room are good since devil deals tend to be damage increase. The idea though is to rush to boss rooms and defeat the boss without getting damaged. It's not hard if you don't obsess clearing every single room. The two most important rooms asides boss rooms are treasure rooms and store for maggy. Sacrifice room if your skipping to dark room. Curse and challenge rooms occasionally give items beneficial to you but not often and are time wasters or health wasters which tend to create risk of getting the devil room. Eve is a different story. If you reduce your health to 1 with Eve you can play her best this way. Lose those hearts and increase damage. Soul hearts and evil hearts be best yet again. With ♥♥♥♥♥ of babylon always active this makes eve a very powerful character.
