im sure this mod isn't updated but i agree losing your gimmick from buying stuff in the shop is kind of stupid

okay, so losing your powers when you take a Devil Deal makes sense (even if the penalty does seem pretty severe.) But buying things from the SHOP? Greed mode becomes virtually unplayable. It even triggers when you buy something with Store Credit, which is completely absurd.

This character is really fun. I enjoyed using the powers a lot

tainted astra is rly fun but normal astra is kinda boring and just too OP with the blue thingies

pokemon

Dude, are you still working on the mod? Hope you could update it soon.

The sprite is well made and cute but a couple things about the character itself I dont like
standard Astra's automatic AOE of neon tears is both overpowered and honestly really annoying to look at. I kind of just wish it was gone.
Tainted Astra is just like... way way way too OP.

Why

Just read the known issues thread, and now i understand the lack of synergies. Good work thus far! ^^

I like Astra but Tainted Astra is just too strong in my opinion. Sure, she has low hp and speed, but it wont matter when she wipes rooms and bosses with one attack. For Astra, I think it would be cool if the normal tear shot was abandoned altogether and cool synergies would come from the rings of tears, not your normal ones. Imagine if you got Technology, and each individual tear shot nearby enemies with a short range tech laser? And with Tainted Astra, make its regular attack slightly weaker and add a few extra synergies on it, just like what happened to Azazel. The only interesting synergy i got was inner eye, which summoned 12 ghosts! which is kinda broken in the attack's current state. This is just what I think though. I love the mod, and am looking forward to how it turns out in the future!

also kirlia funne

Kirlia as a modded character? thats cool

If you can find the time, compatability with EID or Encyclopedia would be appreciated. Maybe a better confusion sprite as well. Perhaps adjustments to the item quality tier too; I doubt all four would be tier 0.

its a child, its a character its... oddly familiar...

if its a bug i ask of you to NOT remove tainted astra's passive item from the devil room pool. Its a great item!

guys tainted kirlia + mulligan funnest shit ive seen hit something that cant be destroyed and boom inf gohsts

strait up kirlia my man

Kirlia xd

this is just Kirlia lmao

You should make her become gardevoir when she gets the "Adult" transformation

*Stares at mod, overwhelmingly stunned.*

This wouldn't happen to be a reference to something, would it?

nice kirlia

4/4
-possible solutions (assuming the item is useless besides the random teleport):
-making the item unusable
-making the item teleport you to the same spot you were standing in but having a much
longer animation during which you're fully vulnerable at all times
-not playing the bad pill soundeffect when using the item as it implies there's also a good
outcome possible

-overall a fun character that might not need the first improvement as it did seem more balanced than the non tainted version, still something to consider

3/4
-solution ideas:
- make the active item just a tad faster and a tad more consistent at not landing on enemies
- make all enemies just a tad slower before the first shot is fired
- if possible? make the attack recharge after entering an unexplored room

-the active item the character starts with has a nice theme that correlates to the original astra, however it is still not clear to me if the item has no use except teleporting you randomly, and is hard to figure out

2/3
-The ring is much larger, but slows enemies much less and doesn't deflect bullets, the
knockback on enemies is also nerfed, but the ring does consistent very low AOE damage
(maybe a fixed 0.5 damage per second), after being fully charged (which takes much longer
now) the ring calls down a light pillar, like the holy light tear effect (which does maybe two
times Astra's damage)

-I like the idea of the character nonetheless, but would still like to see some nerfs if possible

Tainted Astra:

-The low mobility, low hp high damage build on a character that also charges for a long time between shots makes certain rooms (especially small rooms with fast enemies) very hard to avoid damage in if your attack is still charging from the previous room (it would also be nice to see a bar indicating when the attack can be fired again)

1/3
A few notes:
Bug:
-if taking a devil deal as Astra while charged the charge bar just stays

Astra:

-Especially in the Repentance Angel deal meta the character seems too strong (massive slowdown, reflection of bullets, high knockback of enemies, very strong teleportation utility)

-possible ideas for nerfs:

-Astra attracts bullets when using the ring and doesn't deflect them (as indicated by the small
floor ripples around the character when using the slowdown ring, but they're slowed akin to
enemies, maybe also an increase in ring size if that's too much of a struggle)

-Astra starts with a very small ring but can increase its size through range or tear size or shot
speed increases (ring does more damage as a compromise? even at greater range)

Hmmmm....
