A lot of them only spawn on later floors like sheol and stuff. A combination of your high dps there and the fact that the rooms are mostly full of bosses and enemies that can't be champions means that they are very rare, and the ones you do see might be killed before you notice.

14:39 they had us in the first half, not gonna lie

[@tafazzi-on-discord]

Thanks for your effort, even the custom champions are a great addition to the game and this video! Item idea: Champion's secret (the sprite is a set of multicolored syringes) Pickup quote: that's a dope item! Item pool: they have a high weight in the Black market's pool, and can only appear in the shop pool if you never picked up a syringe. Counts for spun! Effect: Works like the bag of crafting, but it only has three slots for pickups, however out of the three pickups used for the recipe only one is consumed, chosen randomly. What you craft are "doping shots" which you can fire like bob's rotten head after you craft it, if a doping shot hits an enemy, it turns it into the corresponding champion colour. Another difference is that you can use blue flies and blue spiders as ingredients. The cool thing is that you can use it on permacharmed enemies too, healing them each time.

[@witchamy]

Black Market doesn't have its item pool tho

[@tafazzi-on-discord]

@@witchamy We can change that. I'm thinking about a black market rework. Anyway the idea is that this item is strong but since it clashes a bit with the overall game design it should appear sparingly, like Plan C, Rock Bottom, Echo Chamber and Redemption.

[@leog9573]

The fact that the game has a verity of champion types, plus the addition of adding your own, is astonishing! I'm sure there's probably an item/trinket that has this similar effect, but imagine getting an item/trinket that makes every enemy in the room champions. I look forward to boss champion types; I've seen modders interpret boss champions in interesting ways, but I'm more curious on the game actually pulls them off. There's not much videos that talks about them

[@IsaacGuru]

Purple Heart and Champion Belt increase the chances for champions to spawn. My mod even has a custom curse that makes all enemies spawn as champions.

[@Zen17h]

I'm not sure if it works in Repentance anymore, but whenever I fight a boss that spawns poop(Larry Jr. and others), I make sure to leave the room and come back before destroying the remaining poops so that they have a higher chance of dropping items - same would be done with the brown champions if I ever notice them

[@mudboy5]

[@wolterfox1332]

Little known fact that the Pulsing Red Champions which heals enemies are one of the rarest champions in the game (and I encountered one) Also, "Fits in perfectly into the game"... spawns Bloats. Yep, seems about right

Thanks for this! Been wondering what all the colored variants do...

[@MultiEkisDe]

Imagine one of those super tanky enemies that appear on Basement during the ascension with the champion variation of 3x health

[@poop.9654]

or the crown variant thats like 6x health and it starts buffing the other tanky ones

[@Raikuthedragon]

Champion Ideas: Blue and X marked: 2x HP and has armor, bombs are very effective. Can spawn rock projectiles when hurt. Drops a soul heart/key or bomb. Has an extremely rare chance to spawn small rock and extremely rare to spawn rock bottom. His drop rate is 75% in hard mode unstead of 50%. Glass: x2 hp, shooting at him reflect your own tear on top of hurting him (25% to be homing). Drops nothing, however bombing it can spawn shard of glass or broken glass canon. Can not appear in chapter 1 Gold: are very rare, they have 3x up, they do not attack but they flee you on sight. They disappear if you don't defeat them fast enough. They always drop 3-5 random valuable pickups (nickels, double bombs/keys, soul hearts... and a chest or item) killing greed/super greed increases slightly the chance of apparition for the run. bloated: killing it will explode in tears and spawn a smaller and faster version of the enemy elsewhere in the room, this version will also explode and spawn a smaller faster version of it. This champion drops a heart when fully killed Pulsating pure white: 3x hp and has an armor, must be killed first to kill all other enemies. Can not appear in chapter 5 and 6 (cathedral/sheol... )

[@thefunniman3285]

General opinion. Immune to status effects, Spawns shower of tears on death - Not too bad. Homing tears - Bit harder, but again, not too bad. Bursting tears - Pretty easy. No knockback - Doesn't make a huge difference. Explosive tears and spawns mega troll bomb on death - Uhhh.. Okay, sure, not TOO bad but... Spawns brimstone swirl on death - This is getting out of hand... Spawns The Bloat on death - WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL

I love your custom champions! You should refine them more (such as giving them drops) and include them in a mod. Maybe they could be officially added to the game like when mods were added with the last DLC! Edit: okay maybe not the bloat one, although maybe the creepy white one spawns the bloat but he only has like 1 health so it's more of a gag than anything
