Lilith

**Lilith** is a character added in *The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth*. Lilith starts with one red heart container and two Black Hearts. Lilith's starting items are the ,  and . Lilith is permanently blindfolded, meaning she has no ability to fire tears; she instead deals damage with the  familiar that follows her.

Lilith is unlocked by completing Greed mode with  Azazel.

## Notes

* Lilith's Incubus cannot be rerolled.
	+ The Incubus can be found as a separate item, and picking it up will grant Lilith another Incubus familiar.
* Lilith's Incubus familiar copies whatever tears she would fire if she weren't blindfolded. Combined with the , the basic strategy for her is to simply multiply her damage. Powerful tear modifiers such as  will become even more deadly if Lilith can create several Incubi.
* When shooting, keep in mind that Incubus lingers behind you.
	+ is not recommended, since your movement may block the bomb, which causes self-damage easily.
* Incubus has reduced tear size, which makes some item harder to use ( for example).
* Due to her starter item , she strongly benefits from other familiars and familiar enhancers like .
* Battery items are very useful for Lilith so she can continue to use the .
	+ will reduce it to a 3-room ( 2-room) charge allowing it to be used more often.
	+ The Battery can prove to be very useful as Lilith, allowing you to create three copies of the incubus and any other familiar in the same room.
		- has a similar effect, and stacks with , allowing for a 2-room ( 1-room) charge on .
	+ will double the effect of the item, meaning she'll create 2 copies of each familiar per use.
	+ creates batteries or recharges your item by one bar occasionally, and is also duplicated by the . The more the player creates, the more often they will obtain batteries and charges from the increasing number of charged babies.
* Activated Items recharge per-wave in Greed Mode and Boss Rush, allowing Lilith to use the  very often. Familiars like  and  could give the player an endless amount of health if used correctly.
	+ Due to this, during Greed mode, it is most effective to stay within the Arena for every wave in order to maximize the amount of familiars you have upon reaching the boss waves.
	+ replaces the per-wave charging. With only this, compared to no battery items, starting and ending fully charged, it's typically possible to use  once or twice more in a full set of Greed Mode waves.
* While other activatable items may have some form of use, it is not advised to permanently trade out the . Without it, Lilith loses what is essentially her greatest strength, as  shooting in her place is only a positive with its usage.
* If Lilith dies with an extra life item that changes her to a different character (, , ), she will lose both her blindfold and the intrinsic Incubus familiar.
	+ Despite this, Lilith's Incubus still counts as an actual item.
* Heart Containers, healing items, and Heart-generating items (, , etc.) indirectly benefit Lilith since her  gives her additional familiars after taking multiple hits. Use a fireplace or Heart Donation Machine to damage yourself multiple times to speed up the familiar-generating process (preferably after killing the boss to not hurt your Devil/Angel Room spawn chances).
* Familiars spawned with  do not count towards transformations nor the collection page.
* Otherwise poor familiars such as Lil' Delirium can be very good with Lilith, as they can be duplicated by Box of Friends.
* If Lilith dies in True Co-op mode, she won't have the Incubus or the blindfold over her eyes, but her ghost will still be unable to fire tears.
* Unlike other characters, Incubus' damage is not reduced by 25% while playing as Lilith.  Tainted Lilith shares this trait.

## Item Interactions

* / : Flames emerge from Lilith instead of the Incubus.
* : All shooting familiars no longer follow behind Lilith. They all group towards Lilith's firing direction instead.
* affects the Incubus, as it's a familiar, identically to .
* : Lilith can use the Epic Fetus while her Incubi still fire what her tears would be without Epic Fetus.
* is effectively a tears up for the Incubus familiar, and can also boost any other familiars Lilith might get.
* : By intentionally taking damage with something like a fire and grabbing the half-red hearts, Lilith can easily generate powerful familiars for free.
* ,  and : Since Lilith is blindfolded and does not shoot tears by herself, these items do not directly affect her. However,  and  still work as they would on any other character.
	+ ends up being a powerful item due to this, as it causes  to fire three tears per shot with no charging, while Lilith doesn't have to worry about getting teleported by accident as she cannot charge up.
* : Obtaining  is necessary to utilize Maw of the Void to its fullest, as it will allow Lilith to create the damaging black ring around her.
* : Gives Incubus a smaller version of the item with the same base range as Isaac; However, Lilith will not get this to use due to her blindfold.
	+ This knife can be used with Incubus to give it contact damage with no danger to Lilith.
* : Unless you have a beam weapon such as (/), picking up My Reflection is a bad idea, as it will greatly shorten Incubus' range without the possibility to increase it.
	+ You can now increase Incubus' range on top of being a good dmg up.
* : The sword is held by the Incubus and acts the same way as with other characters.
* + : Synergizes together to become a large controllable ring per incubus. Multiple rings may completely overlap.

### Ineffective Items

These items will not affect Lilith due to her blindfolded condition and certain limitations of .

**Note:** As mentioned above, certain items will apply their normal effects if Lilith obtains .

* (Tears up is applied, but Incubus cannot fire in 360 degrees)
* (Stat increases are applied, but the mark does not appear)
* (Stat increases are applied, but the ring will never be created)
* (The  transformation does work, however)

## Trivia

* Lilith is the Hebrew name for a figure in Jewish mythology, thought to be derived from Mesopotamian mythology.
	+ Although Lilith is only mentioned in passing in the Biblical Book of Isaiah, later Jewish mythology expanded on her. In some stories, Lilith is the original woman God created before Eve. She refused to become subservient to Adam and left Eden; in others, she is depicted as the bane of humanity when Adam refused her, driving her to curse all of his descendants and targets children under grudge.
* Cambion Conception is always listed as one of Lilith's starting items, even if it has not been unlocked.
* Lilith, as well as  The Lost and  Bethany, are the only non-tainted characters whose unlock conditions require a specific character.
* Lilith's starting health is listed as "?" on the character selection screen.
	+ Lilith's starting health is listed as "I" on the character selection screen, despite starting with one red heart and two black hearts.
* Lilith's locked character icon is a locked box with her Incubus on it
	+ She shares this locked box icon with  Judas,  Azazel, and  Apollyon.
* The recharge time of Box of Friends has been changed multiple times in order to balance Lilith. On her initial release, it recharged in just 2 rooms. Then an update increased the recharge time to 4 rooms. Finally, in Repentance, its recharge time was decreased to 3 rooms.
