Walkthrough
- 1Judas Character Unlock: Judas is unlocked after defeating Satan for the first time. He starts with 1 Red Heart container, 3 coins, and The Book of Belial. He also has a 1.35x damage multiplier.
- 2Black Judas Transformation: When a character dies with Judas' Shadow in their inventory, they respawn as Black Judas (or Dark Judas). Black Judas starts with two Black Hearts, a 2x damage multiplier, and a base speed of 1.1. He has the highest damage multiplier of all playable characters.
- 3Black Judas Health Mechanics: In Rebirth, Black Judas can gain Red Heart containers. However, in Repentance and Repentance+, he cannot gain Red Heart containers; items that grant them will instead grant Black Hearts.
- 4Black Judas and Achievements: Black Judas counts as Judas for achievements and unlocks, including Completion Marks. He also benefits from Tainted Judas' bonus effects when using Dark Arts in Repentance.
Tips
- The Book of Belial: This starting item provides a significant damage boost. It's advisable to keep it until other damage sources are acquired. In Rebirth, it guarantees a Devil or Angel Room after a boss fight. In other versions, it increases the chance by 12.5%.
- Health Prioritization: Due to Judas' low starting health, focus on acquiring health upgrades early. Devil Deals can be risky.
- Dead Cat: This item has minimal downside for Judas early on, as he starts with only one Red Heart. It also contributes to the Guppy transformation.
- Low Health Synergies: Items that activate on low health, such as Scapular, Monkey Paw, Glyph of Balance, and Whore of Babylon, are easily triggered with Judas.
Item Interactions:
- Birthright (Repentance+): When combined with Birthright, The Book of Belial becomes a passive item. Its damage boost scales with the charges of the active item above it, though it may not work with all item types.
