The problem with both evolved and unevolved garlic is that its damage stays terrible forever. It scales far more weakly than everything else naturally, and it can't benefit from the best offensive statistic in the game at all (more projectiles). It's very useful for a lot of specific annoying things in the early to mid game but you can accomplish basically the same thing with bible, which scales way better into lategame.

Also the extra knockback effect makes it basically unusable with magic want if you want to actually kill light bosses. Four magic wand hits when you have a garlic equipped will send bat bosses flying offscreen making it incredibly obnoxious if you're using magic wand as a boss killer.

Since you get free skills in the library (even if only one is useful) I pretty much never play the forest (well did, not playing anymore now).

In the library you don't have to worry about the knock back for any bosses since you can wedge em into corners etc, which kills them super fast, it's the best way to kill them anyway honestly, although if you go the dagger route you can just flat out directly obliterate em while they try to walk to you.

In fact dagger + bible + faster projectiles = win, nothing else matters and you can just wait till you get all 3, it doesn't even matter which char you start with because of that (since you can't get bible). Dagger char has faster projectile bonus I think (+30%?) and you start off with daggers so that would be an easy start I guess, but any of em work. I never entered the code for the 100% luck but lower stats char to try it out.

Garlic still works great with the above, but it's so not needed that it doesn't really matter. If you can Evolve both bible and dagger your pretty much done. Garlic is a GREAT option though with that combo for something you are not going to evolve (so is recountour). I really like lightning ring as well though.

Anyway none of it really matters till more content is added/higher difficulty or another map.
