Worst Tainted Character?

[To_Nate]

In your opinion anyways, what do you guys feel is your least favorite? I personally dislike tainted eden the most for the lack of any control over my run. It feels fun, but I don't see myself playing that character much past unlocks.

Tainted Apollyon. Only played him in Greedier mode so far to get that out of the way and he felt like ♥♥♥♥. I guess he's supposed to snowball once you turn enough garbage items into red flies but the process to get there is not to my liking thanks to his bad base tear fire rate. The flies don't make up for that for me. Fortunately I found Sulfur in one of the devil deals so I just relied on stacking Brimstone twice instead of his stupid flies.

Lazarus. No upsides, challenging in the sense all the downsides test your patience. Surface level doesn't seem so bad but you can't express how everything slows to a crawl. Lost is fun, Jacob is tense, Eden is both, but Lazarus is nothing but exhausting to play as.

Either lazarus or jacob.

Tie between Tainted Cain and Tainted Eve for me, of the ones I played so far.

Tainted Cain requires a ridiculous amount of trial and error and note taking if played blind, but if you use a recipe book you can just craft a broken combo and then go win.

Tainted Eve’s familiars follow the same movement rules as Esau. This automatically makes me hate playing as her.

Tainted Cain. Playing blind only seems to give ♥♥♥♥ items, even with higher quality pickups, and playing by a guide online is boring as ♥♥♥♥. And if I want to get a specific items to mess around, I'll just use the debug console once mods are back.

I've yet to play Lazarus, he seems so uninteresting, maybe he'll be worse. He sounds like a more boring Jacob & Esau to be honest. With an actually good hitbox, but that's about it. Can't even use both at once for damage.
