He is Coming Tier List (Items)
Some items in He Is Coming are so good they work in almost any build. Others shine only in the right setup or early-game. This tier list breaks it down.
S Tier Items
Twin Blade
Doubles all strikes permanently. It is powerful in nearly every build and works without setup.
Explosive Roast
Grants four bomb strikes and increases max HP by five. This helps with early-game damage and health scaling.
Razor Thorn
Adds two Thorns each time you are hit. It now ranks higher due to its strong synergy with defensive play.
A Tier Items
Heart Drinker
Turns one Speed into two HP every turn. Great for long fights where sustain matters.
Control Boots
Doubles bonus strikes. Strong for strike-heavy setups but needs synergy to reach full value.
Bomb Bag
Uses three Speed to strike with a random bomb. Good for burst damage but costly, so it now sits in A tier.
B Tier Items
Redwood Roast
Heals over time, which helps during boss fights or when exploring longer maps. It is dependable but slow.
Vampiric Wine
Triggers lifesteal when bombs go off. Excellent for bomb builds, but situational outside those.
Kindling Bomb
Adds three damage to the next bomb. Handy early in a run but does not scale into later fights.
Final Blurb
Twin Blade and Explosive Roast lead the pack for raw damage and survival, while Razor Thorn offers strong defensive scaling.
Heart Drinker and Control Boots give steady sustain and strike boosts, and Bomb Bag adds flexible burst power.
Redwood Roast, Vampiric Wine, and Kindling Bomb remain solid choices when you need extra healing or early damage.
