INSANE New Character! Lairub | 莱鲁布 (Mod Showcase)

In my opinion: normal lairub is better for floor enemies (so enemies that you usually see) and for transformed lairub (when you press shift) is more for bosses

that final ability could be a character in itself

The name is Burial backwards

I would remove all tear protection, keep just the cross once per room and let it be a held item so it can also synergize with battery items.
It would balance the character a lot more.

FUCK BALANCE. FUCK SUBTLETY. FUCK GAME DESIGN CONVENTIONS. FUCK MAKING SENSE. LAIRUB IS HERE.
seriously though... 15 gimmicks going on at once, which is normal for every modded character because ooh MY character is so special it HAS to stand out they must have EVERY GIMMICK EVER!!!
but then you also give it. a free run winner every time in the form of angel/devil deal warping at any time

I love the idea of the cross. kind of reminds me of the Avatar of Wrath from btd6.

Soy

her arms are crossed
in the thumbnail, those are arms

Smash

All of these cool modded characters are what TBOI should have been. The stock game is just lacking fun in my opinion

it feels like each of the abilities of this character could be developed into their own separate characters instead of cramming them all into one

This is the perfect example of devs just throwing all their ideas into one basket without thinking of balance or gameplay at all until it becomes too cluttered and just not worthy of being played, a whole new passive mechanic with three extra key bindings in one character is just way too much, if you want to make something unique look at the tainted characters for example: Forgotten boils down to throwing your bones and it's (Birthright) pocket active simply recalls them, Isaac has 8 item slots and multiple choices and that's it, Judas is centered around his pocket active, Lazarus is 2 characters in 1, Jacob escapes his sins and runs for his life, but how would this be described? She collects the souls of the enemies and uses them offensively, that would be good enough, then she also switches to a new form on demand that alterates her stat multiplyers (good luck remembering them), has a turret that changes it's fire mode depending on the amount of enemies on screen, can get into deal rooms for free for absolutely no reason, starts with homing and piercing tears, come on it's just way too much. If these mechanics were separated into the three character sides Regular, Tainted and Tarnished with the Epiphany mod it would be a very interesting mod but this is just too much

the free joker card usage wasnt even necessary yet its there

When rebirth (or afterbirth I don't remember xd) was the most recent version of the game, I wanted to do a dragon character, just a fun (and maybe op) character like this


Maybe it's time to do it

Why does the title have chinese? Well i dont mind since im chinese

Lairub backwards is burial. Just thought that was interesting.

Yet another OP waifu mod. Very epic.

they really made her name "burial" backwards

i believe in various asian languages "belial" would be pronounced similarly to "burial" so it seems quite silly

Even if the character looks prety fun to play, i can't enjoy playing character for nothing... When modders release a new character it would be 100 % more fun to have unlockable items for beating bosses like every character ;/ (sorry for my english i'm not a native speaker ).

Isaac modders try to balance anything challenge (they have a massive skill issue)

Sorry but to me this just looks like someone did cute art and tried to stick it in isaac any way they could, and once they did started brainstorming and never stopped, the controller compatibility also looks like its now gonna be an easy task, the character being so unbalanced in some aspects but so underwhelming in other is another point for me to not like it, serious rebalance, maybe rework, but at this point its just like someone else said, getting into the aphelios zone, overloaded and overly complex without needing to be

Add a price on x like idk 30 or 40 ( or more ) souls for a free devil deal or angel room
Also what are those "balls" below the head of the char on the splash art me small me dont know

The hold X to teleport into devil room would be OP just by itself most of times.
Could have made 3 different characters
One with cross turret,
One with form switch,
One with teleport ability and they'd all be quite good

I think they should have made the cross way less powerful, only shoot one beam at a time even if there’s a lot of enemies. The angel/devil room item should also be changed so that you can only activate it with a certain number of souls that way there’s an incentive to actually use her other two abilities together and collect as many souls as possible rather than just jump straight into the rooms and be OP from the get go

I meant to play Isaac I got to play hollow Knight

I feel like the last two abilities would've worked better as an activated starting item and a pocket item respectively.

I don't speak Chinese

It’s a cool idea, but it’s WAY too OP. I think just giving a character a bunch of random OP abilities without any downsides at all is in my opinion overbearing. However, I can definitely see how it could be useful for more casual play.

This character is loaded with features and I feel it's a bit much at first glance, I like complex and I also like simplicity. Character can be complex and simple at the same time. Like bertran, bertran is simple and yet complex. You have four different ways on how to attack (three ways and a ground "snap into a slim jim" pound that you have to charge up) which is simple...what is complex is stuff like destroying different grid tiles grants the head different is status effects, or how the fling can do interesting stuff or the style mode. Bertran is one if not my favorite modded character to watch and play

i feel bad for her

This character is way too overloaded and their design doesn't fit the game very well.

If you have to have a button that shows you a screen long page of instructions on how to play the character, you've added too much stuff to them.

I feel very strongly about this character it looks very fun, but I think you could give her duality so then you don’t get to choose which one you want.

I thought this couldn't get more OP until he went on about the 4th ability

as impressive as this mod is, this character is too prepared

other than the desing there is nothing on this character, mechanically is stupid because you have no reason to prefer the basic form to the second one, and she has a lot of abilities instead of being simple and effective

Four abilities? 😒 it's a bit complicated. This character just feels like a tumblr OC that's been modified to fit Binding of Isaac.

idc what everyone says i LOVE her design (as in character design)

I feel like whoever made this character doesn’t get devil or angel deal often seeing how one of her abilities is teleporting to them whenever you want without consequences

Honestly, Lairub feels like she warrants her own game, one that can keep up with such a powerful demoness.

Unbalanced ass character smh

The teleport is too op just to be free it should add a broken heart or 2 every use to actually make it balanced somewhat

Really cool character except it looks likes she has tits

This may or may not be intented, but their name is actually "Burial" spelled backwards! :D

is it me or she a lil thick

DAMN SHE HAS LARGE BAZANGAS

Burial backwards. Jesus babby first edgy oc design

I love her now! I have the recommendation for u! If u ever watched courage the cowardly dog, I want you try it in this game

Me thinking that Lairub means some scary thing on Ancient Latin or Ancient Greek.
Also Lairub basically being a reversed Burial : 💀

This character literally goat 🐐

Small correction on the video: she obviously has piercing tears, not spectral, huge brainfart on my end -.-
The character is probably a bit over-designed which might turn some of you down but I bet there are still lots of ppl that will enjoy her. I also noticed that ppl's view on the importance of "difficulty" in mods varies like crazy anyway^^
