I cannot believe the Abyss Abyss was an actual synergy and not just clickbait, totally worth the wait

[cristianserrano]

Who in their right mind would Abyss diplopia to get two locusts when you can diplopia Abyss and Abyss the copied Abyss and get one bajillion random locusts?!

[jabrio]

Hey guys, Jabrio here explaining the joke, at 15:57 the locusts created by Damocles, seem to have an effect that isn't related to the item, but it is a very clever reference to how the item works.

It creates 2 locusts because of Damocles' effect of doubling items, and said locusts provide a shielding effect because you specially don't want to get hit when the sword is dangling on top of you.

[Otherversian]

Seems pretty likely that the tech lasers doing 0.1 is a pretty simple bug - they accidentally set 0.1 as the value rather than the multiplier lmao

[SlayXc]

Holy crap... this took FOREVER to make! I hope ya'll like it at least half as much as I hated it mid-way 🤣

[somebody]

It would be nice if Midas' touch created a golden locust that inflicts the normal effect of the item maybe with a low chance in addition to petrification.

[_Moralle]

I'm kinda disappointed rotten tomato didn't get a locust that applies its actual effect, seeing how that effect is waaaay better than regular charming

[Japie__]

The tech ones doing 0.1 damage is without question an oversight / bug.

[pripdipstick]

These changes really make Abyss feel far more interesting, and only leave me aching for a proper resprite. I think if each unique locust type had its own sprite, especially the grey/grey/grey/grey/grey selections, then it'd feel truly complete. It's not hard to imagine one with angelic wings, or robotic parts, etc.

[potionion]

I feel like for sacred heart’s case,
I can only think of ONE way you’d ever absorb it.

If it’s behind a locked stone and you don’t have keys.

[jabrio]

ngl, they got really creative with some of these effects, the meat clever one is adorable

[TheLamper]

Amazing video! However you did miss the ice locust that you can get by absorbing Uranus. Not sure if you can get it by absorbing ice baby or cube baby though

[waltergaming]

11:31 "...And his locust was electric."

[Foxxive]

Damocles probably creates 2 locusts because of its ability to duplicate items that appear during runs while it's active. That's a pretty cool touch!

[Omlett_E]

honestly the Hive Mind Locust should act like King Baby but with your other locusts, basically linking all of them up

[NoLuckJustSkill]

I had a online run today where I was T. Apollyon and Abyssed two Bomb Items to get Locusts. The mate I was playing with got Gnawed Leaf randomly at the beginning.
Well because the damage for bomb locusts apparently does not get nerfed, when you die and are a ghost... our strategy was basically:
Enter Room
I die or am dead already
My Mate stands still
I kill everything while dead with explosive locusts and normal locusts lol

[roryhadley]

i really like that a lot of the special locusts can be made from active items, because youll probably always want to abyss actives anyway no matter how good they are

[BlaZay]

Nifty trick for the bomb locusts: they will explode in contact with fire, which means you can use them to extinguish blue and purple fires to check for soul hearts and without having to waste a bomb on every single one. You can also use them on regular fires in the middle of groups of rocks, which can come in handy especially in the Burning Basement where fires can randomly replace rocks in the layout.

[peashter]

This really expands the playstyle with T appolyon. I know most people would just want to take the item but I find it really fun to try and make a specific build and abyss things that would disrupt that build. Its a good way of choosing exactly how you want to play while still getting dps from items you don't take. I highly suggest this playstyle if whoever is reading this does not like T Appolyon. Thanks for the video Slay!

[capivaranews]

The problem is that most of these passive items are better as an item
