Dying as Samson and then respawning as another character ( Lazarus' Rags, Ankh, etc.) won't cost you and will allow you to inherit Samson's Bloody Lust item.Therefore, using Devil Beggars, Sacrifice Rooms and Blood Donation Machines synergizes very well with Samson. Samson gains damage from being hurt, and as such, possesses a playstyle that is fairly similar to Eve.This means that the maximum total is +6.0. Damage is increased by flat amounts: +0.5 for the first hit and an additional +0.2 for each hit, until +1.5 at the sixth.
The next three times Samson is hit, his damage is increased by 33%. The first three times Samson is hit, his damage is increased by 0.5.
