Characters

Starting health, items and Birthright for all 41 character entries, tainted ones included

Data updated

Overview

Isaac starts with three red hearts and one bomb. Magdalene gets four and Yum Heart, Cain gets two and Lucky Foot, and that trade between health and tools runs through the roster. There are 19 regular entries, counting Lazarus Risen and Black Judas as their own, plus 2 secondary forms (The Soul and Esau). The 17 tainted characters and their 3 extra forms bring the total to 41.

How it works

Regular characters

Lazarus and Lazarus Risen show up as separate entries, as do Judas and Black Judas. Each card lists starting hearts, consumables and items, so you can compare Cain's two red hearts and Lucky Foot against Magdalene's four and Yum Heart.

Tainted characters

Repentance gave 17 characters a tainted twin with a new title. Tainted Isaac is The Broken, Tainted Magdalene The Dauntless, Tainted Cain The Hoarder. Several start with a pocket active instead of a passive item, and Tainted Cain's is the Bag of Crafting.
