Description:

No more red poop/spikes damage, grants broken hearts on contact, and more tweaks!
No more playing 90% of the time as the lost.

Changes:

• Dark Esau does not take damage from rocks, poops, or TNT
• On contact, turns a heart into a broken heart instead
• Will only break 1 heart every 5 seconds, as they are already powerful

Below 25% HP, gains an aura that protects him from further damage:

• Prevents any damage that would kill him before gaining this aura, healing back to 25% HP
• Can only be hurt by Dead Jacob ("ghost form") with this aura
• On contact, will now turn Tainted Jacob into Dead Jacob
• Extended invincibility frames from this transformation to not die instantly: 30 (1/2s) -> 120 (2s)
• On death, creates a room-wide explosion (no changes)

This aims to make the character more balanced and unique, as you may not turn into the ghost form as much, yet still need to dodge.
This is intended to be more fair while keeping it challenging.
Will you take the broken hearts, or will you accept the ghost form?

Known Issues:

• [Not a mod bug] Killing certain bosses such as It Lives or Ultra Greed will kill Dark Esau instantly
• [Not a mod bug] The Mega Satan fight may softlock you until Dark Esau is killed
• More repentance / not mods-related bugs here[bindingofisaacrebirth.fandom.com]
