Eve...I don't get it

[likwitsnake]

Everyones always talking about how good Eve is, but I never have a good run with her. Not a single one. What am I missing. What's so good about her?

[Nightryderace]

I...have not ever heard anyone say that Eve is good. People are saying Azazel is good/op.

[Shrump]

Eve has always been the worst character, I didn't see any significant buff in rebirth, most people who say that she is the best are those who like a challenge. (Eve tips: try to get down to 1 heart using deals with the devil or guppy's paw. then stack soul hearts and the black hearts.)

[Joshua Kurayami]

The good side about eve is that she can be a permanent glass cannon. However to make that more effective you should only collect soul/black hearts and not normal hearts. Sacrificing your health to satan is also a good way to get that effect better.

[Achelon]

Eve has always had a reputation for being a really bad character, so where you've gotten that from, I don't know.

She's a bit better in Rebirth though since ♥♥♥♥♥ of Babylon gets activated at one full heart left rather than a half heart left, but for having high damage early on, Samson, Judas and Azazel are really better picks.

edit: Of course W-H-O-R-E gets filtered.

It's not really about how bad it is, but how people use it.

I think the dead birds A.I has been improved but other than that i'm not really noticing anything different.

Eve is plain bad, managing to set up a constant Pro-sti-tute (christ this censorship) of Babylon only boosts her damage to 2.5 vs the 2 of most characters. She is just less unplayably bad than she was in the original thanks to the improvements to her starting items - bird is a bit better, Babylon also at 1 heart.

[Misery]

I think Eve is actually a bit better now. The way devil deals work and being able to activate
Wh­ore of Babylon at 1 full heart make her doable. I actually dislike Judas the most now, unfortunately. At least on hard mode.

[PKblaze]

It's all about the luck of the draw if you want to get a good Eve run, finding a way to sit at 1 heart and having a way to generate Soul/Spirit hearts is the only real way to go far with her.

Check my Episode 7 on youtube. I had one of my only good runs with Eve by abusing the Babylon thing. New items screwed me up some, but there are ways of making her work. Also, I think the seed helped me out a bit.

[UFOLoche]

I actually think Eve is decent. She was still second worst in the original, but in Rebirth, I..would say she's probly the worst, that or ???(Whose strength in how he could abuse certain things the others couldn't like Devil Deals is gone now.)

On a side note, good job to Edmund & Nicalis on making Samson actually likeable.

Not really.
Yeah, Eve is still pretty much a one man trash tier.

Eve is actually a pretty decent character in Rebirth. You just need to bomb yourself (yeah, you heard me right) at the start and she gets ♥♥♥♥♥ of Babylon active, now you have a good damage output. Then it's like playing Judas, but don't pick up red hearts because they'll kill your damage.

And you also don't start with 3 coins and an item that makes you wtfpwn bosses while increasing your Devil Room chance.

Whoops, forgot about the Book of Belial! ^_^
Oh, and the 3 coins are (usually) useless...
