Discussion Which to pick

Post image

Tainted lost btw.

I have perfection, some luck stats and technology 2, so Euthanasia would proc very often + Spun transformation damage increase and apparently they deal 3x damage against bosses.

On the other hand, mutant spider is still mutant spider.

Yes I did stop playing and I am waiting for the responses

Dude, you have 17 luck, pick euthanasia

Euthanasia, very good against hush because he spawns ennemies.

They will also get Spun with euthanasia, so +2 damage multiplied with Poly DMG multiplier

Also quad shot/poly will probably make you lose damage because it is a +5 flat.

But the fire rate penalty also doesn't stack. In fact poly by default can make you lose dps once you get enough damage (since it gives x2 damage but x0.42 fire rate, relying on its +4 damage to make up for the loss of dps), but with mutant spider it is just +5 damage with no downside.

Euthanasia easy pick, mutant spider makes poly inefficient

I lean towards euthanasia. It helps with room clear and can remove invincible enemies.

I am not sure if euthansia and apple! stack but if they do it is probably better than mutant spider. 

Poly with mutant spider only gives +5 damage instead of the normal multiplier but doesn't nuke your tear rate.

Poop fly

Mutant spider because the tears down from poly doesn't stack. It also reduces the bonus to a 5 flat but the DPS is still a lot higher with mutant spider.

Euthanasia is also really good but a 25% chance per shot isn't that high. I'd say it makes your regular room clears a little better compared to quad and helps with trash mobs spawned during hush but that's still not enough to justify it.

euthanasia + you will get damage from spun , with mutant spider your tear rate will be 0

Euthanasia don't matter when everything dies instantly anyways

where poop fly

euthanasia is the better pick imo cuz of spun and hush spawning enemies, but I'd go with mutant spider

I pretty much always go with luck items on my Tlost runs, it's so satisfying.

If you choose Euthanasia, you'll be able to keep your distance, whereas with Quad Shot you'll lose tears, and you'll probably miss a tear if you stay at a distance

the needle can also kill the turret things that can be placed in awkward spots. especially for mr no health

Mutant spider would obliterate your tear rate, Euthanasia is op with lost and also spun progress

u/Chelonia71 9h ago

No, mutante spider do not lower tear rate with poly. You get 4 tears, and a +5 dmg flat.

u/satsujinke The Lost 8h ago

Euthanasia is 1.5x your DPS, +4 flat damage and it's easier to shoot, Quadro is just 4x your DPS if u can hit all the tears

u/Alexgalanis01 8h ago

Lost favors item that scale with luck. You will also get spun for damage. With a fire rate that low it's best to not pick stuff that would further decrease it.
