i know right

He's ok, but boring.

[d(*-*d)]

My favorite run was lazarus; I got Epic Fetus and Ipecac

Everything in the Boss Rush died in one hit

IT LIVES took 1 hit

Isaac died in 3 hits

??? died in 3 hits

it was glorious

Lazarus is a bad version of isaac. He has shorter range, no bomb, and if isaac unlocks the d6...

[Midson Vonjungle]

At least he didn't brought the frustration that ??? did to me. Seriously, ??? seems to have an bad luck factor on me.

Having good or bad items has nothing to do with the character you play with. It's stupid to say "I hate this character because I always have bad items with him", that's just your luck -_-

Lazarus is bad, but that's for a different reason.

Lazarus and Cain are certainly the most boring characters to me in my opinion, but at least Cain makes up for his increased damage, speed and luck. They are not the worst characters (??? and the Lost are definitely worse), but it's the fact that they really have nothing special at all that makes me never use them.

That could have happened with anyone.

Laz is bad, he has low luck and a crappy pill. But I got death's touch + Cricket's head on both my Laz runs to get the achs for him.

He is the only character without anything special

Isaac- D6
Cain- Lucky + 2 Hearts
Maggy- Yum Heart! + 4 Hearts
Eve- ♥♥♥♥♥ of Babylon + 2 Hearts
Samson- Bloody Lust
???- Poop + 3 Soul Hearts + Can't get red hearts
Azazel- Flight + Short-Ranged Brimbston + 3 Black Hearts + Can get red hearts
Judas- Book of Belai + 1 Heart
Eden- Can start with 2 random items
The Lost- Flight + 1 Hit death

Lazarus- Less range than Isaac + -1 Luck + Starts with (Usually Bad) Pill

He is Crappy Isaac, he is the only character who needs something special so more people play him.

Not true, he has Lazarus' Rags, which can turn him into a Cain without 1 HP and Anemic instead of Lucky Foot. Apart from that, he is pretty stock and not much different from normal pre-D6 Isaac.

Lazarus is bad for the same reason that dead cat is usually bad (ignoring guppy transformation); coming back to life with one heart container usually doesn't enable victory, it just prolongs defeat. And if you were willing to run around with one heart container, you might as well be Judas and get the book of belial and great damage for your troubles.

That being said, he's only subpar, not terrible. I wouldn't even say he's the worst non-challenge character - I rate him better than Eve, at least.

Eve and Lazarus are actually pretty similar, at least with my playstyle. They both benefit greatly from early devil deals. Lazarus can use all his HP and then kill himself to become fairly powerful. Eve can sacrifice one or two heart containers to gain permanent ♥♥♥♥♥ of Babylon.

one of my greastest runs was as laz. i picked up brimstone triple shot, guppy, infestation 2, and a crap ton of damage upgrades. but usually, laz isn't really that great.
