Makes me kinda wish there was more of a drawback to having lots of them, like how regular void can give you useless stats or take in dangerous actives. That being said, it does feel like once you get up to two locusts (giving only one item the succ), the challenge of hitting enemies with them starts to fade away, and becomes further nonexistent the more you have. If you put too much in one item, you get. And that's all that really needs to be said because its such a simple mechanic, and sometimes simple is all you need. And they're just plain ol' fun to throw around when you have a bunch of 'em. The locusts' orbit can make them really inaccurate, which is sometimes a blessing or a curse depending on what you're fighting. With Tainted Apollyon, if you suck up a lot of items, you at least get a ton of locusts following you around, and you feel like you're setting everything out of Abyss. So all the unique mechanics of the Void end of making a better D6 (which makes it less fun imo) that occasionally gets the bonus of one or two actives. Even if you find a good active, chances are it will be worse than it normally is because of the six room charge. Sucking up a meh passive for a chance at damage at a six room charge will be the better option in most situations. And getting a ton of active effects sounds cooler than it actually is most of the time. Your shots just always look the same, and you have less costumes stacking on each other to give you a sick look (in either sense of the word). With regular Apollyon, your run will always feel like a base character no matter how lucky the stats Void gives you have been.
With that said, I like this guy better not just for the themes of his mechanics, but also in their execution and function. And on top of being Apollyon, the statue aesthetics were already cool on the original, but the broken face revealing an animated swirling portal of death behind is sick as Hell. OG Apollyon is more of a general force of destruction, which works fine enough, but not in comparison to his closeted brother. To start, the theming is a lot closer to the Biblical angel of destruction Apollyon is, using an army of locusts to torture those who refused God. Tainted Apollyon, while not the most interesting character added in Repentance, sits very comfortably in the roster as a guy with a unique and fun enough playstyle, even if a bit simple. Normal Apollyon is a fun idea with a mediocre execution. This is who Apollyon should have been from the start.

Leave your opinions, experiences, and suggestions (for the character or the Discussion series as a whole) down below! I had planned on waiting until Abyss was patched.but, evidently we'll be waiting a while for that. Certain items give unique locusts, but it's a pretty unfinished feature. Locusts deal Tainted Apollyon's damage per tick, which is pretty gnarly. Firing tears sics the locusts on enemies, which continue forward until they hit something.

Unlock: Use Red Key or Cracked Key on the Home closet as ApollyonĬharacter Attributes: Tainted Apollyon says hey, you know what's cooler than stat upgrades? Familiars! This little guy trades Void for Abyss, an active item which turns items in the room (including items held during the pickup animation) into locust familiars. It's Tainted Apollyon time-it's time to descend into the Abyss! Luckily, there's still another week of buffer before this series needs to take a brief hiatus.
Character Discussions, that is! We've exhausted the pool of non-controversial characters, and have firmly landed in the Rework-In-Progress-Maybe zone.

The days blend together, I do believe it's a Sunday night once again ("actually it's Monday morning" crew feel free 2 shut up).Īnd, as the dedicated Discussion fans among you are surely aware, Sundays build character. It's a 1:30 AM post instead of a 3:00 AM banger, which feels like a pretty major accomplishment. What the heck is happening, my absolute dorks and dweebs? My tank has a little more gas in it than the past few days. Welcome to Repentance Daily Discussions! Feel free to leave your opinion on today's character of discussion down below!
