TOP 10 MOM'S KNIFE SYNERGIES in AFTERBIRTH+!

oh hello there everybody welcome back to another Alexa top ten video today we're gonna take a look at top 10 moms knife synergies there are none thanks so much for watching if you did enjoy as always like I'm the nah I'm just kidding man mom's knife is a passive item found in item rooms and devil deals that gives Isaac his mother's knife it's known as a very powerful item but a strongly disliked item by many because of its lack of synergies in this video we're gonna take a look at a couple synergies that I like and show that sometimes it's okay to use mom's knife to make a run more fun I'm going to try to keep a balance between unique and fun synergies and then just pure all damage all powerful synergies but as always these are just my opinions you should play with mom's knife for yourself and let me know some awesome synergies in the comments down below let's hop right in before we get started I do want to mention a few small honorable mentions nod leaf while it is excellent fun to have an item that will eventually kill every room after you know 20 minutes in a video all about how to make mom's life more fun and powerful I mean come on it's just horrible but I know there's at least one common of where's not leaf so I felt the need to include this the forgotten yes it's true taking moms knife as the forgotten is awesome because you become the ruler of the Dead himself with your newly wielded scythe there's just one small problem with including this energy on the list you only get it as one character I can't have a top 10 synergy for something that you can get only with one character but it looks dope and everyone has an odd obsession with this guy despite him in my own opinion not really being all that fun to play with number 10 continuum this is more of a unique interaction than a great synergy I use these top tens to usually show off cool stuff and this synergy is no exception mom's knife actually works with continuum allowing you to play a bit stealthier and more strategic in rooms this is the closest you're getting to playing hitman in Isaac just simply shoot the wall and kill those enemies on the other side of the room this can be fairly useful in boss fights as well to help you save your HP by not getting as close to enemies with moms knife sure having a good amount of range is useful and its practicality isn't super high but look guys I'm trying to find moms knife synergies you gotta bear with me number nine fire mine there's a pretty basic synergy on this list that may not make the game extraordinarily more fun with moms knife but it does take a usually regarded bad item and makes it pretty useful one fire mine and mom's knife are combined you deal burning damage to each enemy you hit but the annoying explosions that manage to hit you no matter where you stand in the room are removed burning is a really underrated tear effect in the game and the combination of burn with moms knife flat damage can make you take out enemies really quickly it's a straight synergy that only benefits you while it's also working to remove the downsides of a generally considered to be bad item those are good synergies in my eyes it's not the most exciting on this list but it's definitely gonna help on your run number eight flat stone what's better than a normal moving mom's knife how about a bouncing moving mom's knife flat stone gives moms knife quite the pep in its step as it now bounces towards enemies leaving dangerous puddles at each bouncing point I find that this energy will actually increase your damage output a good deal as the knife will hesitate a bit at each bounce leading to extra damage from the puddle and from the knife itself it's a fun synergy to make mom's knife at least look a little bit cool while you're fighting which is a key point of this top 10 list number 7 Loki's horns Loki's horns presents you the quad knife spinning ninja star it might not be the most effective strategy to come spinning towards enemies like this but it does help you with crowd control as you can hit enemies chasing you down in multiple directions at the same time this allows you to use moms knife more as a melee than normally because there's more damage dealers surrounding your body as enemies run towards you you just pop out your knives and you're covered in each cardinal direction the synergy will at least change your run and make it more interesting and fun with mom's knife which is what this list is all about number 6 trinity shield trinity shield is in my opinion one of the most underrated items in the entire game and is definitely an underrated moms knife synergy this is one hell of a knight in Armour synergy by having the shield it enables your melee attack significantly more as any enemies that shoot are no longer an issue to get close to them to tap them with your knife it makes you able to be a bit more aggressive in your fighting which can be a big benefit in a mom's knife run it's the rare synergy in my top tens that doesn't actually do anything to the knife itself and I feel that makes the synergy even more worthwhile number 5 Unicorn stump this is the smartest synergy on this list sure you can't shoot while you're using Unicorn stump but I mean you do have a nice sitting in front of you that you can just slam anatomies so it's basically as powerful as it gets get this synergy and you're borderline guaranteed to not take any damage in any rooms it'll melt bosses and overall be insanely powerful but for the moment of truth is it boring it's not the most exciting but it's got some power and for those that enjoy that you'll enjoy annihilating your run here number 4 epic fetus I don't like epic fetus I really don't those of you that know me you know I don't like epic fetus I think it's about as boring as items get and I'd rather get mom's knife eight runs in a row than epic fetus once however this synergy I can get down with bombs and knives spiraling out of control sign me up dude this will destroy bosses and is a satisfying attack to pull out it falls under that category of incredibly satisfying synergies you didn't really expect to be there it should be noted that the synergy only works in afterbirth Plus so if you're playing on rebirth epic fetus will just override moms knife and you'll be stuck with a boring item but an afterbirth plus it makes epic fetus worth taking and for me that's a big plus number three epic hack this is kind of just a straight-up phenomenal upgrade for moms knife plus sixty nine damage as Isaac that's pretty nice poison shots no explosive epic AK in your face it's not flashy it's not exciting but no one can deny that it's damn good very similar to fire mind it removes the seemingly negative effects of an item like epic AK and simply makes your knife stronger straight upgrades without any down site is difficult to pass up it's usually tough to know whether or not you're gonna ruin your run by picking up epic kick but this is one of those times where you have no fear it's a great interaction makes your knife stronger than it already is and it's just an absolute boss obliterator number two any tear adder I know pretty vague for a number two spot but really it is the truth anything that adds more knives to Isaac is simply going to improve your run and I mean any give me quad shot give me the conjoined transformation give me the Wiz I don't care each extra knife is simply just giving even more damage and when we're talking about mom's knife that damage scales fast since rate of fire doesn't matter as much with moms knife these items simply become straight damage upgrades that screams good synergy to me I also want to show off what this looks like with Ludo one of the cooler looking synergies in the game but Ludo his mom's knife is so goddamn horrible if there's no chance I can include that on this list number one brimstone look you probably knew it would be here and I hate that I had to put it here but it's just simply the truth it's the coolest synergy arguably in the entire game and it's also great damage an illicit is supposed to not only show synergies and make your run better but also more fun this one checks all of those boxes fire a barrage of knives out of you with every shot you take pierce every enemy even from halfway across the screen it's the kind of synergy you use to explain to your friend why Isaac is a cool game and how synergies completely change how you play it may not be the most powerful synergy on this list but it is iconic deals good damage and in a list of voted to making moms knife more fun it deserves number one on this list if you enjoyed then as always like the video is that's a nice thing to do for content creators and go ahead and leave a comment about what top-10 you'd love to see next hopefully you enjoyed it it's a tough one mom's knife but there are times to take it and hopefully that was conveyed thanks so much for watching I'll see you guys in the next one you have a good day bye bye [Music] [Music] [Music]
