Bros what broking combinations did you find yet?
For the ranger the combination of attacks can't miss and the powerful attacks who miss like 50-70% is really strong, I got that twice so far and the only real op thing I manage to collect.
The most powerful was the ranger had marked (upgraded to hit all similar enemies) and I had a mage that would reduce spell costs so I could spam the attack like 10 times in the end, and basically one shotted the spider in the caves.

Is there any kind of tech I need to 100% be aware of?
Like how in BoI you learn what rooms have a secret room adjacent. Anything like that I need to keep in mind?

I think it's just for act one but boneyard and caves have different unlocks yeah.
Colourless cats aren't terrible they're just unfocused but some colourless passives can be pretty good like just giving them plat damage increases on their basic attacks.

Im about to complete my 6th dead god on Isaac (I have finished 3 on PC, and 2 on switch, I only have 2 characters left on my last file on switch). I've basically dedicated all my gaming freetime to isaac in the last 2.5 years. The addiction has genuinely crippled me. Something is wrong with me where I need to play this game an absurd amount. I want to get Mewgenics because it looks awesome, but I saw there was 3 file selects on the main screen. For the betterment of myself, I cannot buy this shit. My life has only got worse since I got addicted. 4-5 years ago I used to have sex occasionally.

Should I get Mewgenics?

>>732912635
Fighter that gets all stats up with allied cat death and necromancer raising an army of cats. Ended up with ~+30 all stats during spider, by that point the fighter was critting every shot. The wide attack made clearing zombie cats quick too.

Yeah, although it's been mentioned as a problem causer mini me can be absolutely legit.

Yeah it's like Issac. Every end-route boss has a class unlock tied for it (Collarless cats have to be in your party from the start).
From the empty spaces I'd assume every class has at least eight unlocks or so.

I'm assuming just like Issac too, the "end" of the route can be extended after enough wins (I'm guessing taking the Flesh cube to the end of the caves is part of this).

>>732913851
When you unlock Act 2 it's time to kinda start thinking about breeding.
General low-maint method is:
>Keep all your retirees in a room with stimulation and comfort as high as you can crank it
>Keep all your kittens and fresh cats in another room with comfort as low as possible so they fight often and gain extra stats before they're sent out on their runs (you can mulch the losers who get injured/die)
As you unlock more rooms you can more finely tune your breeding programs (keep all your strong cats in one room, keep all your smart cats in another, etc.)

Every once in a while add a stray to the mix to keep the gene pool diverse and reduce the risk of birth defects.

I agree with you anon, Ed's art style looks like shit. Isaac flash looked like shit. The pixelart Isaac (rebirth and the DLCs) was clearly the development team's interpretations of Ed's grotesque drawings, and they ended up lowkey cute.
For the nostalgia fags that somehow prefer flash, I started on flash, Rebirth's style is much better.

From what I've gathered so far, this is how breeding works:

There's only 3 home stats that effect breeding: comfort, stimulation, and mutation. You're gonna want to segregate your cats into at least 2 groups: group 1 is your general pool/farming cats: these are cats you don't care about like strays or cats with defects or bad stats. They stay in a room with comfort as low as possible with negative comfort furniture, cat shit everywhere (lowers comfort), and overcrowded India train tier conditions because you want these cats to injure, grow to age 5, or kill themselves as fast as possible so you can farm unlocks. Those who survive can go into a group 2: these are cats you run through the sewers easy path only so they become veterans for more unlocks. Finally you have group 3, the breeding pen: with at least 5-10 comfort the cats will stop fighting and only breed. I kept weeding out cats with low stats/bad mutations/bad passives, and eventually I'm at the point where I only keep kittens with 0 'red' stats, only white and preferably green stats, and good mutations. I assume group 4 will be specialized breeding rooms in order to pass down specific traits and passives, but I'm not there yet because it takes forever to unlock house expansions. The downside is that like just like darkest dungeon, this game requires a shit load of grind in order to progress in meaningful ways, which is fucked.

I almost just tossed this piece of shit because he has red stats, only to discover that he's a primordial dwarf. Probably gonna become one of my strongest archers ever.

>think to myself that edmund's humor is very childish and stuck in the 2010s

Just stick to Act 1. Do the sidequests from the scientist. When you complete the sidequests, you get a good version of the quest item that you can keep.

House boss quest items just magically reappear if you lose them (you can 100% abuse this for some of the useful ones by taking them on the wrong path).

>Can use leeches and eat corpses to recover HP

>Also has an extra gimmick build where you do a bunch of boosted moves while dead (not worth running this unless you roll into the colourless skill "Play Dead")

Cleric and Tank are both better at their roles as healer and vanguard in aggressive teams because they don't require the same setup time or resource management Necro does however.
If you're winning every encounter in like <3-4 rounds it can be harder for it to shine.

I think the only time thief really came in handy was when I rolled a passive that automatically collected all of the drops on the ground at the end of a battle, alongside the cut purse shot that spawns coins when you hit units with that skill. Came home with damn near a hundred coins and brought out every shop. But to really get mileage out of it, it feels like you need to have a thief eugenics program unlike the simpler classes

Thief is a squishy mid-range damage dealer that leverages its high mobillity to hit and run. Late run it's basically *teleports behind u* into *nothing personnel kid* unless you really fuck up the build.

It's just trickier to use because its higher damage options are more conditional than something like say, Fighter. Who just goes "unga bunga me big punch".

>>732916450
You need house stats to get good inheritance.
Comfort (frist on list) is what affects the kitten production rate, and Stimulation (second on list) is what effects the kitten quality.

As far as I can tell the meta for a while will be jamming all of your furniture into one room and keeping the good cats in there while other rooms host cats to be run or cats to be donated. Eventually you might get the furniture to get a dedicated mutation room or something.

I like tactics games but I hate cats and the artstyle is fucking revolting.

What the fuck, it was that long ago?

>>732916450
You need the first Tink upgrade to de-class the cats. Basically, this shows you on retired cats the stats they would pass down, which is the same as their colorless stats. Without this you're flying blind.

Next, you basically just need to max stimulation. Highest stimulation possible means kittens are more likely to obtain the highest stats from their parents. Combine this with the random variations and you slowly climb in base stats.

Next, you need appeal. Appeal brings in cats with higher base stats (and skills and such, no idea how these are passed down if at all, probably not at all honestly). This is necessary to not end up with a bunch of deep inbreds with the strategy above. You have to keep inserting fresh cats into your bloodline or they'll fuck up hard, and appeal is the way to do it.

Least important is comfort. Comfort makes the cats more likely to breed and less likely to fight. Which is mostly for convenience. It only -actually- helps if you've got a few cats you want to breed, but they hate each other (which is shown via the last Tink upgrade). But you can play around it and this just speeds up the process.

Stimulation is necessary or you won't even get stronger kittens.
Appeal is to prevent inbred mutations, though it'll slow down the snowballing from stimulation.
Comfort is just convenient.

Literally how would you beat this dodge cat boss without some corny shit? I only won because my tank spawned a million pet rocks.

>>732918308
All that said, I've never seen a base stat of 8+.
Right now my best is a cat with five 7 stats, but it's too inbred for use.

>>732916450
Do you want spoilers?

Without spoilers it's good to keep cats with good stats and skills around especially positive mutations.

>>732918973
I think what I'll try to do is ignore my own advice, and go deeply inbred. Keep going until I get all 7s (I may need to insert parents with 7 str, range and luck).
Once I've got something horrifically inbred, then I'll breed it with literally any cat in a 15+ stimulation room and hope the cats kittens keep the 7s as I un-inbred it.
It'll have to be high comfort too so my all 7er doesn't get fucking killed.

No, it specifically can't tell friend from foe, so they're all foes.
It can even heal enemies.

I was playing Menace just before this dropped, might be more up your alley if you care about the art style too much.

When do you decide to keep pushing forward or go back home? I'm low on coins, food, and haven't done alot of the upgrades yet. Should I focus on doing some hard/normal runs and stopping after the Sewers/Junkyard just to stock up on stuff? Last time I pushed Boneworks I lost everything because my cats aren't very good yet.

having to play hide and seek in the caves is so fucking stupid

>>732919358
I think the point of TWO guys wanting retired cats (one from early areas, one from any) is so you can retire early and make significant progress, so don't feel bad about doing that at all.
I didn't and now I've got all sorts of time pressures, and barely any fucking upgrades.

He's the first boss in the game that punishes you for building damage with no thought for utility. Which is why most people seem to be struggling with him. Alley, Junkyard, Sewer and Caves can all generally be brute-forced through with high damage.

>>732919998
I'm gonna suggest something really boring, but it's honestly the best strategy as far as I can tell. Early in the game you should:
>max the everliving fuck out of the people at home
>injury furniture boy is lowest priority, it just expands his shop but I think he can still sell every item at all times
>top right is great for excess cats
>top left is something you want to grind for
>middle left you NEED to grind for
>bottom right is mandatory for breeding

So basically:
>Do a shitload of runs throwing your cats at the two guys on the left
>throw every fucking kitten at bottom right, who cares if it has good stats or not
>repeat
>repeat
>repeat
>now progress

I didn't and I'm deeply regretting it.

How much inbreeding is too much inbreeding?
inb4 until they start to cut foreskins and calling themselves chosen people

Man I might have to start doing Alley-only runs to get donation fodder.

How do you even get a grasp on the breeding? If I breed two cats with high intelligence will the baby be born with higher than normal intelligence? Is it that simple?

>>732919998
Getting to boneyaed or caves.

>>732920173
hmm I see, I'll take your advice and see how it pans out

>>732920084
If you can't figure out a turn based game and think ahead of what to do you might actually have low IQ.
These games are extremely simple to play, you plan ahead and execute your plan. Strategy is always to synergize skills across your characters. It's genuinely not hard.

ahahhaha seems guillotina will try to throw your cat into another cat's falcon punch. hahaha another fuck you huh

>>732920326
Only if you have high stimulation.
But yes, it's that simple.
I'll simplify it as much as possible for you.

>high appeal = cats wander in with a 7 in a stat
>high stimulation = kittens select the highest stats amongst their parents
>high comfort = more breeding, less fighting, even amongst cats who hate each other

You want high appeal first to get those 7s coming in. Then high stimulation to pass them down, and pass many down. Comfort's just for convenience.

>>732920326
Yes and it might inherit skills or mutations from the parents.
but you shouldn't worry about it too much since your house is too small to do selective breeding effectively.
Just purge the bad kittens with undesirable traits and your overall gene pool will improve.

Inbreeding is 100% bad. This becomes really clear once you see the inbreeding status. You can get mutations from other things.

>>732917964
*cool surfer guitar riff*
~where's that smell
comin' from?~

>>732921051
Inbreeding causes defects which are always bad, then there is mutations that you can get through events or the mutation stat in your rooms which are a net positive but often come with a small backdraw.

Great job, now you want to go the desert, so you're not contributing sewers cats to the guy who wants them.
And you want to do some harder content, but you don't have the room space to do breeding, your cats may well die in the harder content so you can't contribute them to getting room space, and overall your life's shitty because you need to be spamming the early areas.
Might as well do it early.

It can be. there are lots of aspects that go against QoL that are obviously purposely done. you're very much playing edmund's game how he wants you to which can grate (trying to navigate through fire or glass with the shitty pathing). lots of RNG that will fuck you over in events. figuring out various footguns like zombie kittens eating knocked down cats with a priority where none of the tooltips say so. I like it though, hope it's easy to mod.

Oh I didn't think it would turn off the effect, just wondered if you had to have it on you (for 10 seconds before I tried doing it).

I'm the king of cats

I had an awesome run with necromancer that had the mutation that gives you like 20 mana at the start (but no mana recharge) and I got a spell that lets you summon 4 zombies and then got it upgraded so it costs half as much then I could summon 8 zombies to start every fight and then I got another passive to summon another zombie at the end of the round

>>732923028
I honestly tried both xcom games and didn't get too invested. I'm balls deep in this one though. It's kinda similar in the sense that you can permanently lose your cats but if what you enjoy about xcom is being rewarded very very long term for not losing a unit, then that's not present here (cats who've already gone on adventures can't go again). However it's like if XCOM had the variability of a roguelike when it comes to builds, it's super sick. There isn't a cover system but it is 1 attack and 1 move (with abilities that can change that) and the cat genetic system seems like it's super deep if you get into it (I'm super early so I don't quite understand it yet)
