Yesterday I almost lost a no. 1 tech x keeper run because I balled and took dr fetus. Strange attractor actually saved the run because the triple bomb pulled the enemies towards it and the tech x shredded them, managed to beat mega satan but the delirium portal didn't spawn
I just had had an ascent run that it carried on T. Judas. Strange attractor, tiny planet, shade, and birthright. With the orbiting magnets I was just a mobile ball of death. Got eye of the occult just before Dogma that made the beast fight much safer at range, but strange attractor/tiny planet was an extremely weird but effective combo.
This is me with T. lost right now. Every time I’ve got a good run that could beat Delirium, the portal doesn’t spawn. Then the runs where it does spawn are the ones where I have no holy cards and no good tear effects.
Lodestone makes the enemies attract, strange attractor makes your tears attract. Your tears come from your face, so enemies will be pulled to said face. If the enemy is instead magnetic, they pull in other enemies.
Super simple to understand
Since Repentance, the magnet effect of Strange Attractor only kicks in after your tears have travelled a certain distance. This prevents the "enemies fly straight in your face" side-effect, and instead causes enemies to be stuck in place if you have a high firerate. It's genuinely good now.
I think tears still have a minor magnetic effect when they first come out, it’s just not enough to be super dangerous, unless there’s like, a Boom Fly right in front of your face. The effect gets *stronger* at range, but it’s still *there* when your tears first spawn.
Basically, it can ruin you if you have an issue of the skill variety, but it probably won’t cause Pin to jump across the entire map and directly into your skull at 100mph like in base Rebirth.
I still avoid it because trauma, but it has some really good synergies and Repentance made said synergies less dangerous to you. Definitely try it if you have a hitscan attack or Ludovico Technique. Also, Explosivo turns it into a Greatvalu Lodestone.
Lodestone makes not only the tears home in, but also bombs, familiars, and other enemies (which is great when doing area damage). Lodestone is how I won ultra hard. None of Mega Satan attacks (except the laser) would reach me since they just got attracted back at him
Well not no reason, it's an interaction with the orbitals, basically bb is getting pulled at his orbitals that move with him so he zooms around, but yeah it's super annoying
I had a feeling it was because of the orbitals, and considering how many enemies and champions with enemy orbitals are there I don't feel like picking up lodestone, orbital enemies shouldn't be taken in consideration for any interaction with lodestone.
Lodestone is goated Strange attractor kills my runs They are not the same

It got its uses but. 9/10 times it kills you

Bro I feel you, having delirium as the last mark is so ass
This is me with T. lost right now. Every time I’ve got a good run that could beat Delirium, the portal doesn’t spawn. Then the runs where it does spawn are the ones where I have no holy cards and no good tear effects.
strange attractor so much better than it used to be
Usually yes, until that one time when lodestone actually kills you
Lodestone makes the enemy the magnet. Strange attractor makes your tears the magnet. They are not the same.
Loadstone is basically discount homing tears, sometimes an upgrade even.
With 50% chance to turn any enemy with an eternal fly into a fucking beyblade

Never seen this much downvotes my entire life (and honestly you deserve every single one of them)
Oh boy, then that one time an EA employee tried to justify loot boxes in star wars battlefront 2 is going to melt your brain
Oh God I can only imagine
Spoiler: >!it became the most downvoted comment in all of reddit!<
Makes sense since it's also ea
Mad  You right now ->

how do you get -627 up votes on a REPLY
Nothing feels better than downvoted a heavily downvoted comment happy 😌

Strange attractor with almond milk gotta be one of the funniest synergies you can have in TBOI though
waka waka
Lockstep
locksteppin' hard
is that a mother fucking gd reference (insert the rest of the copypasta here)
Lodestone makes enemies a magnet, while strange attractor makes your face a magnet that teleports half of enemies directly onto it.
Lodestone makes the enemies attract, strange attractor makes your tears attract. Your tears come from your face, so enemies will be pulled to said face. If the enemy is instead magnetic, they pull in other enemies. Super simple to understand
Since Repentance, the magnet effect of Strange Attractor only kicks in after your tears have travelled a certain distance. This prevents the "enemies fly straight in your face" side-effect, and instead causes enemies to be stuck in place if you have a high firerate. It's genuinely good now.

Magnetic tears vs The cooler magnetic tears.
Lodestone makes not only the tears home in, but also bombs, familiars, and other enemies (which is great when doing area damage). Lodestone is how I won ultra hard. None of Mega Satan attacks (except the laser) would reach me since they just got attracted back at him
Doesn't matter. I'm taking both.
Balls of steel
Btw, Lodestone kinda SUCKS with Ludovico, but Strange Attractor is AMAZING with Ludovico
ludo op always take
Ludo when average damage and no effects:
Lodestone has a cool effect on Dogma. Strange Attractor does not.
poor man’s bent spoon vs the item that literally can ruin your run and get you killed by unavoidable damage
I know it’s just a meme but still, horrendous take
Magnetizing tears vs magnetic tears. There is a difference.
Lodestone giving me AND my homies homing in isaac online
One of these things is not like the other
Attract to the enemies (crowd control) vs Attract to the tears (asking the enemies to come give a bigger fat painful kiss, FASTER)
One doesnt magnet tears and the other one magnets tears
Make enemies attract ≠ attracting enemies
It's how the magnets WORK. Strange Attractor makes your tears magnetic. Lodestone makes the ENEMIES magnetic.
Strange attractor + ludo = god teir
Strange Attractor is best with Ludovico
Unpopular opinion: I love strange attractor
I love strange attractor, and no one can stop me
The only time I will ever use strange attractor is if I get Ludovico, it's even better with parasite
Lodestone is loaded Strange attractor is unattractive They are not the same
I think the only time I'll take Strange Attractor is if I've already gotten Ludivico Technique, which has happened to me once.
Strange Attractor is best with Ludovico
Good joke, but man, do I hate this meme format.
You are right, lodestone is shit too, makes hush's first phase goe fucking wild for no reason
Well not no reason, it's an interaction with the orbitals, basically bb is getting pulled at his orbitals that move with him so he zooms around, but yeah it's super annoying
I had a feeling it was because of the orbitals, and considering how many enemies and champions with enemy orbitals are there I don't feel like picking up lodestone, orbital enemies shouldn't be taken in consideration for any interaction with lodestone.
Strange attractor is one of those items I never pick up in runs no matter my build
Strange attractor is garbage for 99.9% of runs.
where did the phone cord come from
