It isn't easy for newbies but you have to learn how to dodge since this part is pretty bullet helly. Other than that you will have to rely on good items to carry you through the battle. Also try and get thorugh the womb as quickly as possible so you don't take any unecessary damage.

It is worth mentioning that moms projectiles is damaging the summoned enemies so you can focus dodging and hope she takes care of them if it is to hard to shoot them.

Yeah i was pretty noobie when i started playing rebirth after only 11 hours on the original, took me 100+ runs but finally i beat mums heart with over 50 hours played. My best tip for you would be to try and unlock azazel if your not using her at this moment as you get a pretty good start straight away

As he mentione, Azael is a rather good starting character. it is a good idea to get him.
Good luck. You'll be pro in no time

I find the easiest way to beat Mom's Heart is to kill the eyes at the beginning as quickly as possible, then stand on the side of the room firing at the heart constantly. If you stay in that one spot, you'll hardly ever get hit. The fight gets harder the longer it goes on, so it's a good idea to have an item that does a lot of damage before going in.

Make sure to kill the 4 eyes that pop up first, they can screw you over in the long run. When you get closer to killing it the attacks will get even more bullet helly, so be careful. Other than that just have good items and you'll be fine.

The ways to beat mom's heart

1 learn to dodge, the main thing in this battle is avoiding damage and unless you have dry baby there isn't any reason to play things riskly. The less damage you take the longer you last and the more chances you have to win.

2. Positioning, once you have cleared the room of side mobs, position yourself where you can attack the heart and where you can move quickly when the next wave of mobs spawn, I'd usually recommend the side of the room as this gives you the best reaction times for the bullet hell periods.

3. Damage, while it's possible to do this battle with normal tears, just racking up damage clears this battle quickly.

If you want the easiest way to do this battle, there is two.

First using "The Bible" is an instant kill on mom, if you get a bible then save it for this fight, it WILL one hit kill her, just remember to make sure it's charged before entering the battle.

Secondarly Azazel + Tammy's Head, Tammy's Head is normally not a very good item unless you have powerful tears or tear effects and as Azazel has a brimstone like attack (which is powerful).... It can kill Mom's heart in under 5 seconds if you hug the heart while using Tammy's Head.

Dodge dodge dodge or get orbitals at least 3 should be good .Get them by getting lucky or gambling in the slot machine.

I depends on your character when you get there but I usually as quickly as I can destroy the annoying eye balls. Then sit on the right side of the screen dodging attacks and spamming tears all the while ignoring any monsters spawned until they are right in my face attacking me.
Take out the Eye Sentries as soon as possible because they will cause you the most trouble. There are four; two spawn immediately on the sides and the other two spawn individually after. Then sorta just chill on the left or right and attack her each time she comes down. Try not to worry too much about the enemies and bosses she spawns because her shots also damage them. Focus more on dodging than killing.

I only get hit by a couple shots from the heart (you know, the one that is basically pixel perfect to fit between them) and maybe one of the eyes at the start. At most I lose 4-5 hearts during the fight on a bad run

Azazel is op just play him a lot until you think you can dodge attacks then try the tear shooting characters. I played Azazel and I have 48 hours on TBOI: Rebirth and Dr. Fetus. Which my next kill would be ???.
