demon baby underated by u

I haven't used demon baby since the 2nd day the game came out, so I chucked it niche. I don't really like its way of attacking, it's like deserter but shoots both ways, has slightly longer range column wise and doesn't infinitely piece 

why are crispy and harlequin babies so low? they are certainly better than little steven at least

also, why is brain worm so low, compared to little steven? aren't they, like, almost the same?

why would you ever want to use brother bobby after getting any other attacking baby? i would put it meh tier

bob's brain is kinda eh, not worth the slot. i would rather grab a BBF or even Snowball as support

dry baby is great wdym meh tier? should be on the same tier as tooth&nail

i would put lil' loki at least a tier higher, considering it removes mom's hands from the game

Shit I should point out I love using Paschal candle, double damage plus small aoe is amazing to me, I don't really care about space efficiency too much because it doesn't impact me usually.

I don't like how harlequin shoots and crispy is lower because using other towers special effects + paschal candle feels better.

Brain worms goes for its lane then other lanes, little stevens gang up on enemies going for the closest in their 3-2 range. 

Brother bobby is all you need for damaging babies in basement on literally any loop, actually for that matter honestly you can use default kit for basement. It's really not that hard.

I use bob's brain earlier on a round to greed more lil chads and to tank mulibooms and sperm whales.

I just don't like the price of dry baby, i prefer tooth & nail & cube of meat because defensive item synergies are OP and they are the cheapest of the defensive babies.

That's fair, I don't use it that often but I also just don't care about mums hands, usually they for the back most row and chads are only 2 hearts also I have mega ptsd from doing Challenge 5 on 0.1.4

i know that brother bobby can complete the blue room (and mines and the ark in normal mode for that matter), doesn't change the fact that virtually any other attacking baby can do the same, better. it is good only in the no heart-producing challenge due to obvious reasons.

also i now think that BOTH steven and brain worm should be in the trash tier due to their terrible dps for their price. a row of abels outperforms 1 row of steven/worm most of the time, you dont need homing when you can just kill the enemies faster.

bob's brain still doesnt seem to worth the slot. you can just block the enemies with cube of meat, that'll buy you enough time. you only have 4 slots by default, so every baby counts.

i would still bump dry baby at least a tier higher.

everybody has a different play-style so there's bound to be people that have different opinions but i don't see a world where dry baby is in the same tier or lower than bbf, dry baby costs 25 less, has the same explosion effect and damage, counts as a defensive baby so not only it's a better 3x3 explosive but it also synergizes with frosty mint, sanuine bond + isaac's fork; bbf has no synergies or upsides in comparison

Simply because I don't use it over cube of meat or Tooth & Nail because of the synergies being the focus. Sharp plug, Frosty Mint & Sanguine Bond are all broken as fuck. I don't even use BFF neither, I usually am fine without stuff like BFF or Snowball. But I agree I can't say any of the babies I don't use are bad, none of them are, they're just not for me. 

cool, almost like my ideas 

Multidimmensional baby op af

Parasitoid is underrated because it causes attacking effects, for example biters, and mulibooms, but if you have 3 flies in front of a hardhead, they tank the shot for free. So I would put them in A at least because they effect is niche, also Imps are op they are a no cost brother bobby so top of S, higher than fiend baby has he has to kill the enemy to spawn a imp.

I have looped more than three times with just the power of imps , pegasus, lil' chad, cube of meat and harlequin babies
