Certain items in He Is Coming excel in versatility, while others require strategic builds or shine briefly. Here’s a breakdown of top picks by tier:
S Tier: Must-Have Powerhouses
- Twin Blade – Permanently doubles every strike, making it universally powerful across most builds.
- Explosive Roast – Grants +4 bomb strikes and +5 max HP, offering early-game dominance and survivability.
- Razor Thorn – Adds 2 Thorns per hit taken. Now S-tier due to synergy with tanky playstyles.
A Tier: Strong with Synergy
- Heart Drinker – Converts 1 Speed to 2 HP per turn. Ideal for endurance-focused runs.
- Control Boots – Doubles bonus strikes. Requires strike-centric builds to maximize value.
- Bomb Bag – Spends 3 Speed for a random bomb burst. Powerful but resource-intensive, hence demoted to A tier.
B Tier: Niche or Situational
- Redwood Roast – Provides gradual healing. Reliable but overshadowed by faster options.
- Vampiric Wine – Triggers lifesteal on bomb explosions. Only viable in bomb-focused strategies.
- Kindling Bomb – +3 damage to next bomb. Great early-game crutch but lacks late-game scaling.
