Tainted Maggy is trash

[King Bee ♚]

She would actually be an interesting character to play as, with her tricky mechanics, if she started with BASE DAMAGE. omg.
So many times I've tried a T Maggy run I get to depths 2 or Womb 1 before I get my first damage upgrade.

2.6 damage is stupidly low, ruins the character

[Luna]

yep. also tainted maggie forces you to use the hugging garbage thanks to the low starting damage only to make hugs useless on later floors by having you take more damage then you heal from the heart drops. this forces you to now avoid the gimmick entirely and makes her even more dull then she is in earlier floors.

AND THATS NOT EVEN MENTIONING END GAME BOSSES THAT TAKE SO LONG TO KILL!
longer fights are not normally a big deal but now you can watch as your entire health bar disapears despite perfect dodging

[Luna]

yea if you read all that im sure you already know this but i really hate this character

I personally really love that char xDD she has a high risk high reward mechanic and even items like unicorn stomp can be pretty op on this character. Obviously you should go for angel deals although devil deals are possible (won quite a few devil deal runs with her xDDD). Low damage is defenitly just bad rng but the long bossfights that don't spawn minions are defenitly her archellies heel so you have to play a bit more carefull (full health pills can also be pretty usefull).

Exactly!! I was trying to beat Hush and Delirium in my run and I made it to Hush just to spend 5 minutes fighting it with 3 flat damage and f all else. I got Holy Light on Basement 2 which was huge but that still scales with your damage, which was a fat load of help

[god's chosen]

sounds a lot like a skill issue :( she's a pretty easy character

[burn1none]

it's not that complicated you're just doing it wrong. stop using tears and start using her mechanics

from the wiki: "The "hug" is a swing that functions similarly to The Forgotten The Forgotten's Bone Club, and can synergize with any held items. Melee hits deal 6x damage and all enemies killed by the melee attack have a 100% chance of dropping a half red heart."

6 times damage with 100% chance of dropping a heart AND she gets double healing from most sources. this has been my TED talk thanks for attending

so your rebuttal is because she has slightly less starting damage those bosses are unbeatable? she has an insane damage up with the hugs compared to most characters early game you SHOULD be able to turn that into an advantage. the double healing is nothing to scoff at either if you get the Habit. sorry you're not gonna convince me this character isn't one of the easiest tainted character and the achievement percentages don't lie.

and i think she is actually one of the strongest characters if played right while she can get into near invincible with double healing and some battery items.

Just a message to all the T Maggy supporters here:

I just tried again with T Maggy and I did manage to beat Hush and Delirium this time. But the ONLY damage up I received all game was the one from The Negative. Nothing else.

This is exactly what I meant. Can't use her 'gimmick' on the actual bosses

yes but thats not because of tainted maggy she has no better nor worse luck with items than any other character. You probably had really bad RNG on this character
