    I watched your ab+ tier list way back, I left a long comment on it with my own placements (won't exist anymore since I remade my YT account), but I liked that list because, while its obviously a given that I wouldn't agree with every placement, I did agree with most of them, and the placements I did disagree with I could still see why you would put them where you did. In other words, there were no egregiously bad placements, which is honestly a rarity for isaac tier lists. Many isaac character tier lists are just fun rankings, and theres nothing wrong with those, but its not what I was interested in, and then when I finally find a list based on character strength, there is usually mis-info or just shocking placements. For example, a very popular character viability list for AB+ said that the lost starts with a speed upgrade, and put lost in like mid tier... he doesn't start with a speed upgrade lol. They also said even with the speed up pill, maggy is still slower than average... she's not, she reaches 1.00 speed, and in fact because you have a guaranteed identified speed up pill, she actually gains speed easier than most characters lol. Your list iirc had 1 mistake about lucky foot improving the rate at finding special items, but that is very forgivable when the rest of the list had correct facts and good logic behind the placements. Anyway, was kinda cool to get recommended this tier list way later, click on it and then immediately recognize you were the same guy who made literally the only AB+ tier list I thought was good lol. And happy to say the same is true for this list, the only real standout placements I disagree with are tlaz, which I mentioned in another comment, tlilith, who I think is in contention with teve as best character in the game, she's got azazel early game room clearing but without the weakness against late game bosses, and t???, which honestly might just be a case of me not liking the character or not finding him fun, but I think the poops are too gimmicky and overrated and is NOT worth the really bad starting tear rate and speed and only having soul hearts. I really like how you are seemingly the only person who uploads a character tier list video that understands that having extremely limited / no health will automatically make a character the worst in the game. So many people saying the lost is good, or tlost is good, or tkeeper is one I see a lot. And sure, tkeeper gets really op, tlost gets really op, but you know how many OP runs I've had die as a character with health, even say J+E? Not many, OP runs don't die easily. You know how many OP runs I've had die as tkeeper or tlost? A lot. If you can die despite having many of the best items in the game, you are an unreliable character, its really annoying that people don't seem to understand that but its nice when someone does agree with it cause sometimes I feel crazy for saying tkeeper is low tier when everyone seems to disagree lol.

    I think maggie is very strong in the early game because you can get 2 angel items on b1 without entering any room outside the sac room
  • Putting lost in d tier is diabolical you get free flight, free curse rooms, spectral tears, free devil room, free perfection, and a 2 charge d6

    im shocked forgotten is so low, i love him, he's my main in most runs, id argue his health isnt cut in half as long as u really know how to utilize his halves equally- fighting delirium was suuper fun figuring out when to switch when i only had 1 heart per side (died with 9 lives- funny thing was,,, the first fight with him was my first death, and he killed me during his death animation. I was so pissed)
  • Maggy since you can start with potentially 3 angel items on the first floor and it's not even close
  • @Kro-RissaVirus
    There’s some absolutely spicy hot takes on this list but I respect it tbh. Especially in a game like this, everyone’s gonna have different opinions on what they find fun and not fun to play.

    LAZARUS FINALLY BECAME GOOD!!! LETS GOOOO! Amazing video man, keep making great content!

    I think you might have misunderstood tlaz a bit, flip doesn't give you an option like tisaac does, because you actually get to take both items if you have the charge. It basically makes every item room like a J+E alt path item room, except the 2nd item isn't blind and also it can be used in shops, angel rooms, secret room, and devil deals. In devil deals (and shops too), you only need to pay for one side of the items, so you can buy them all, flip, and get a whole set of devil items for free. Because you actually get both items, you don't have a 50/50 item split compared to normal characters, because you are able to take extra items. Also, the dead lazarus form (the one that starts with soul hearts) has an inherent 1.5x damage multiplier, which is higher than Judas' damage multiplier, and equal with the magic mush damage multiplier. Additionally, many utility / support items work between both forms. The character definitely appreciates minmaxing and they are GOD AWFUL for boss rush / hush marks, but if I'm not going for a rush mark then I find this character is easily a B tier at worst imo. I kinda see them as the J+E double character gimmick, but done well. Although before the flip buff, where it literally was just a straight 50/50 item split with no advantage, you could honestly make a very strong argument for them being the worst character in the game, I have no idea how I completed all their completion marks pre buff lol (I def found tjacob easier and tlost I think I technically had more total deaths but since those runs die faster I'm pretty sure that overall tlost took me less time).
  • I honestly think Jacob and Esau is really fun, literally just go alt path but don't go to corpse and take Angel deals. Double items can lead to some vert strong runs. There are absolutely some really awkward situations you can get in with desyncs, especially if one has flight and the other doesn't, but I think the character is a very cool concept and decently fun to play. (Greedier mode is a BITCH though)

    Biggest crimes in this video: T. Keeper and Lost being so low T. Keeper runs are insane, on average you get more items than with any other character, you just need a bit of luck. Even with average luck, since the shops give you a bunch of options that you can choose from, you usually still get decent items for the run. Not only that, but you get quadruple shot for free. Only negative is his coin hearts and low fire rate, but still great character. Lost is great in general, free devil deals is amazing as well as free curse rooms. Free flight comes a long way, really helpful in a run. Spectral tears are a nice bonus too. Eternal d1 is a great item too, though it can blow up in your face if you don't have good luck. Sure, he can die easily, but I genuinely feel like all those bonuses make it worth it (especially when you are already proficient at Isaac and can easily avoid any non-bullshitty damage). Unpopular opinions: T. Jacob is actually pretty good, the only problem with him is that you need to pay attention constantly which can be annoying. The positives are pretty great: free devil deals or flight by just deliberately changing into ghost form, additional damage from esau, above average character stats. His birthright is horrid though. Jacob and Esau are good too, they deal insane damage from the beginning since they are two characters at once. When you only choose alt paths, you get insane amounts of items, since you can choose the two options simultaneously. The only negative is that you need to ration hp ups which usually come from boss rooms amongst the characters as well as other hp ups and soul/black hearts. Its so easy sometimes to be in a situation where one character has a lot of hp while the other is almost dying, which fucks up the run. Outside of that, he performs pretty good. Popular opinion: T. Lazarus should be at the bottom of the list, the most annoying character in the game
  • Weird how to rated the forgotten so low, but most tier lost rate him really high up.
  • Good list! Never considered that samson is actually pretty strong, used to think he wasn't that good
  • @sebbystm7176
