Your favorite starting item?

I just found the map item and it's SO friggin' good.

So I wonder; are there other amazing items I should know about?

There is a relic that heal you for a % of the revealed map after completing each stage apart bosses. Pretty useful when you already bought the healing potion.

Pazu's Favorite Hat.

I love the map item. It was my favorite until I started using giant's heart (boring I know) on top of the blue suit that gives you the most hp. With 600+ hp I've been able to really use those hp potions and heart drops since they give a %...I've been playing like a pansy running around freezing things trying not to get hit and it led to me finally beating the game for the first time, so now that relic will always have a special place for me.

Vampire's Eyeglasses paired with the Awe Robe. Crits and Healing for days.

Bonus points for getting Albert's Formula, which builds Signature charge when you receive healing. Even more bonus points when you get Infinity Marble, which keeps your charged bar until you use it.

You turn into a critting-healing-signature slamming monster.

Nevermind just found the unicorn tail. Will be starting with it forever.

[VoidInsanity]

Just beat the game twice in a row by starting with an item called the Assassin Mask.

100% crit for a few seconds whenever you evade, makes short with of everything when paired with Zephyr arcana.

Leemo's Leaf : evade all attacks while dashing = 100% overcheated. XD

[Goblin King]

Flak Gauntlet is pretty neat for being safe while spamming the basic arcana.

[Muaygor]

It would be really fun if you could start out with a cursed relic, if I could I would use, Double Trouble just for the challenge. But for a normal item, my favorite is Neve's ruby, only if it was actually usable in a normal run.... lol

[PootYolo]

Vampire's eyeglasses, because I can't rely on myself to not get hit.

[Lod101]

Dark Katana with crit rope(awe) and stone fisting everything into oblivion

[Lefty]

as a miser, I like to go with C-99 piggy bank or midas. I store as many midas items as possible, and seek synergy in other artifacts

[Sédrio]

Vampire's Eyeglasses, baby. I'm an Awe Robe & Shock Assault Signature main, so the critical hits are aplenty. If I get Dark Katana as well through the shop, then the run is basically free. That, Flashy Boots or Glass Cannon.
