Same as the active item one but with more than twice the amount to rank. A ton more subjective too. Updated to 0.1.7.1 

Some nice facts about items

Poke Go - Gives you a random monster as an extra slot for towers (babies), you get get almost any monster and they're usually pretty tanky.

Dr. Medical - Not about the item but defensive babies (Meat Cube, Tooth & Nail, etc) already have this effect meaning this item is only useful for 'healing' your squisher units.

Blanket - Tanks a gun shot from mega plum. Haven't tested it on RagDolls or Middle Horns Insta kills (Ragdolls purple skull OR Middle Horns ice hyper beam) but I assume it works.

Isaac's Fork - Still counts as not using heart producing babies, use Spike Baby + Sanguine Bond & Defensive babies for an easier time on Chapters 1-3 on Mines and Ark.

Mystery Gift - Can you give Imp, Imp is a unit that has 2-3 range, does the same damage as Brother B. but is FREE to place. Super useful for placing in-front of early spawned Mulibooms, Sperm Whales or for tanking units in general.


 

I don't see why Champion Belt is good at all.

It just adds more waves, making the game more difficult.

(+1)

more money/pills :)

Yeah mainly this, maybe overall champ belt does more harm that good but it makes the game more challenging too. Plus if you're looping on hardmode +1 flag doesn't really mean much.

also maybe it can help to get more time to do a challenge (brown ritual or the one of 2 rows of spikes), but I get that champ belt does more harm than good

Ah for brown ritual I just had one of the mask guys stand in-front on a Meat Cube and since they don't walk away until their mask is broken you have all the time in the world to use poop

Also more risks of getting absolutely destroyed.

I would debate that pill baggy is maybe c tier, not as in its good early, but that having an extra pill, it being percs or power pill, can be game changing in the later floors,

D is mostly good no matter when you get them but have an okay ability, having a 4th pill is good no matter when you're in the game but isn't good enough to be B

In my opinion Poke Go is S tier because if you get it on a no heart producing baby run it is a free win, it also takes away one enemy from the stage, for example if you would get two hardheads which means more hardheads than one, it will make it one, or just completely take away a enemy, like hardhead or biter. Also Fuck biters and hardheads they are so Fucking annoying.

I agree, of course it's still luck based on what monster you get, but even the worst ones can be at least be used as a distraction and the strong ones are incredibly useful. It would honestly be a really good active item but it being passive makes it that much better.
