[opal sonnet]

im thinking half joker

[red hamlet]

card sharp

then you leave blueprint where card sharp is

[neon wren]

what is hand level?

[uncut magnet]

Now triple dna lol

[opal sonnet]

oh yeahh

[red hamlet]

copy dna
play 1 card
you get 3 copies
copy trio with both
you get 3oak guaranteed every hand

[opal sonnet]

lvl 4 3oak

[neon wren]

that's 12? half joker is less than x2

12 x 27 is prob better than 9 x 32

[opal sonnet]

yipee

[red hamlet]

works either way

[rich viper]

Hell yeah

[uncut magnet]

What stake red?

[opal sonnet]

white lmao

im just trying to get the next stake on ghost deck

[uncut magnet]

Noice

I remember beating white on all my decks for the first time

Fun af

Peak balatro

[opal sonnet]

oof sounds tough, black joker is a challenge for me cause the -1 hands

[red hamlet]

🗿

[opal sonnet]

get wee joker!!!

[red hamlet]

i did

[low hornet]

grats, also flat mult is always an eyesore on late game

get better scaling jokers

[uncut magnet]

Love getting blueprint first shop😞

[opal sonnet]

hopefully i get baron cause its all kings

[low hornet]

its hard to pull unless you get deck fixing early

[red hamlet]

i'm resetting man

[red hamlet]

ante 2 boss with this shit and no money for planets

[opal sonnet]

should i get steel card?

because i am duping glass not steel

[glad oriole]

nah its endless so new run

[red hamlet]

that build won't last long, especially when you're neglecting planets

i'd just reset and go next run

[glad oriole]

true

neglecting planets is wild

[red hamlet]

they're new so

[final delta]

neglecting planets is like refusing food

[red hamlet]

yup champ

that's fucking craaazy

campfire and shoot the moon

pack has delayed and straight

fucking reset again

[low hornet]

🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

[opal sonnet]

IM KEEPING IT

[glad oriole]

[red hamlet]

[glad oriole]

one planet would be many times better

[red hamlet]

🗿

[glad oriole]

bloodshit

[red hamlet]

[opal sonnet]

ggs chat

[red hamlet]

yupchamp

[opal sonnet]

if only my entire deck was half jokers

it wouldve reached naneinf

[red hamlet]

[raven quiver]

Hey

Anyone can help?

[low hornet]

you reach the end. its time to sleep.

[raven quiver]

First wdym by the end? And second I'm from Europe can't go to sleep at 3:35 pm

[red hamlet]

1. troll
2. go to sleep anyways

[raven quiver]

Can't you keep playing after naneinf?

[low hornet]

its a bug

[raven quiver]

What should I do, I can't open my run

[low hornet]

i think its related to plush five and naneif

🤷🏼‍♂️ reddit

[raven quiver]

It says that my best hand is 0 when I reached naneinf

[red hamlet]

was it ante 39?

[low hornet]

ohhh i guess its the bug that relates your best score/hand to naneif

[raven quiver]

No

[red hamlet]

might just be a wackadoodle run then
naneinf is weird like that

[solemn elm]

it just does that when you score naneinf

[low hornet]

its a known bugg

[solemn elm]

your highscore gets set to 0 as a failsafe

[raven quiver]

Damn so I can't flex my naneinf now?

[red hamlet]

should've taken a screenshot

[raven quiver]

Didn't took a photo

[tardy cloud]

I finally got gold stake on checkered deck

[red hamlet]

sucks to suck

missing on arrival

[warm mica]

hi umm

[red hamlet]

how do you fuck up that badly

[raven quiver]

It crashed idk

[warm mica]

would anyone like to buy me balatro? it's still not good eough sale in india

[red hamlet]

wasn't to you

[low hornet]

i think there was a solution from reddit

[tardy cloud]

How would you make Green Joker good ?

[raven quiver]

I mean it was a brainstorm mod run, I don't think it will be hard to replicate but it's a bit of a shame

[red hamlet]

you play a build that's good for it like pair or high card

[low hornet]

you just need to edit files to reset your highscore to zero and the run will continue

[neon wren]

green joker is good enough, just tedious

[low hornet]

@raven quiver

[red hamlet]

aight chat, nap time

[raven quiver]

Already reset it thanks anyways I'll save it for the future

[dusty hamlet]

i pressed sigil...

[calm loom]

Anyone wanna hop on a vc talk an play?

[young haven]

keep in mind that these were the chips i was pulling in barely asingle well played hand

and of course

i have to play on white stake again bc i technically didnt beat the game

[frigid shale]

planned to do up to ante 8 but sure

[hot nymph]

wish the legendaries could be found outside of the soulstone

[buoyant forum]

Oops is now the #1 priority

[silver lynx]

IT'S FREE

[fading arrow]

happy pi day balatro people

i wish there was something for pi in the game
like how fibonacci is a joker

excluding mods

[willow kite]

one opps all 6s and its over for those big blinds

[willow kite]

but still has a cost

[low hornet]

imagine

ive been reading the first messages on this server, localthunk was really da humble goat

[finite sorrel]

On the 7th boss blind and I’ve been using Four Finger joker all game. Thinking about swapping it for Mystic Summit. Would that be stupid?

Here’s what I have currently

Straight are only at level 2

[hazy vault]

There is mods for balatro from gamepass?

pc

[low hornet]

if you rely heavy on an effect joker and your score scaling is good i guess you could just replace mult jokers for better ones.

[finite sorrel]

In this scenario I’m replacing to up my multi

[low hornet]

whats your best hand level

[finite sorrel]

Would make my base multi 72

[finite sorrel]

2 pair. Level 5

[low hornet]

so you're not really using the four fingers

get rid of it ig

[finite sorrel]

Straights are 3 and flushes are 4

[low hornet]

ohh

it's really up to your deck status😂

you should be fine any wise

the problem is you're on high ante and you don't have better scaling

[finite sorrel]

I think I’ll swap em and try something different

[low hornet]

go roll for xmults

[finite sorrel]

Yeah I didn’t get many planet cards

[low hornet]

scaling jokers too

[finite sorrel]

All my re-rolls have sucked

[low hornet]

flat mults would barely get you ante 8

[finite sorrel]

When you say scaling joker what exactly is that? Example?

[vagrant bane]

Green joker

Dagger

[solemn elm]

the values on the card increase; so scaling +mult would be stuff like Spare Trousers, Ride The Bus, Dagger

[vagrant bane]

Stronger over time

[solemn elm]

scaling xMult would be stuff like Constellation, so on and so forth

[slim junco]

Good Morning

[finite sorrel]

Gotcha. Yeah I only have one of those. Green paired with Burgler has been nice though

[vagrant bane]

Meow!

[low hornet]

tips to get better is dont get too attached to your jokers

there's always more fish in the sea ⛵

[agile pawn]

square joker + spare trousers my beloved

[vagrant bane]

Bull

Quick question

If you just aim for ante 8 boss blind win

And get a negative hanging chad

Does that count scaling

On ante 8 big

[low hornet]

negative is always good

[shell swallow]

Does anyone here have the Xbox version to test? I play on Android, and Japanese is fine there.

[pallid sapphire]

ARRRRGH ALMOST BEAT GOLDEN NEEDLE

THEN I GOT AMBER ACORN AND (REROLLED) INTO VIOLET

[rough hawk]

i got my friend to start balatro yesterday and he’s been playing the whole afternoon and until 3am last night

😭 😭 😭

[wide trail]

Cop the rebate?

[worthy echo]

My new record

[wide trail]

Meh

[mossy mesa]

why play the 4 at the end

[worthy echo]

Idk how can get higher lol

[mossy mesa]

very specific and boring builds mostly

[mossy mesa]

baron mime or photochad

[solemn elm]

true, max score wouldve been putting the 4 in 2nd

[mossy mesa]

choose your poison

[wide trail]

Photochad can't come close

[worthy echo]

Because the joker would’ve retrigger the 4 twice if I would’ve put it at first

[mossy mesa]

put it second then

not like it mattered

[worthy echo]

It wouldn’t have changed that much I think

[wide trail]

Should I cop or not???

Hello???

[dusty hamlet]

chad on abandoned deck just makes me sad....no photochad

[solemn elm]

yes

[solemn elm]

doesnt need photo to be good.

[solar portal]

yessir

especially on red deck

you have one more discard it synergizes well with rebate

[rough hawk]

my highest

[devout thunder]

No S&B is sad for that run :(

[worthy echo]

[rough hawk]

yeah it was rly unfortunate

i died ante 21

is it worth it to use vagabond for deck fixing early on at the cost of no money

i never really bought it cus i thought it wasn’t worth

[pallid sapphire]

Gold card overload at the end would help immensely

[wide trail]

The rebate messed up my run... that was gonna be my first gold stake win

Screw you guys

[cedar goblet]

Hello folks, I’m Sundance, or Logan if you prefer

[pallid sapphire]

Looool

Gotta trust your own judgment

[wide trail]

I HAD THE PERFECT JOKERS BUT I HAD TO SELL ONE FOR THE BOSS AND THE REBATE WAS ETERNAL SO I HAD TO GET RID OF ONE OF MY JOKERS AND I LOST

[pallid sapphire]

Did your build depend on the cards exactly

Cause lots of the time you can just beat verdant leaf raw

[wide trail]

It was photochad so yeah

[pallid sapphire]

RIP

[low hornet]

are we flexing highscoresss

mines e18 but since then it doesn't make me fullfilled i wanna go naneif

[wide trail]

I have been trying at gold stake for a month, I'd never make a mistake as such

😭 I'm never gonna beat gold stake

[pallid sapphire]

Maybe after I beat everything on orange I'll seriously start grinding gold

[meager patio]

Woop Woop

[low hornet]

an eternal econ joker is bad unless it helps you scale,

[steel blade]

I beat jokerless

I did it a few days ago actually

[solemn elm]

i still havent beaten jokerless on mobile

[old pollen]

I JUST BEAT THE GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME

THE INDOMITABLE HUMAN SPIRIT WINS AGAIN

[uncut magnet]

Someone here once said to get rid of trib for insanity joker

[uncut magnet]

Not bad bro keep at it

[cedar goblet]

Sorry was distracted waiting for an upload, back to introduction
I’m 17, I do stuff in blender, mostly, but I do sometimes do sketches and pixel art, and also I’ve got ADHD and autism n that stuff, also I wanna be a game developer

[uncut magnet]

no self promo here bud

[solar portal]

he's just introducing himself i dont think that counts tbh

[uncut magnet]

Mmmmmm

Ban

[swift sail]

ok?

[cedar goblet]

What

[solar portal]

he's just saying his hobbies why are y'all mad at him 😭

[wide trail]

It's self promo Ig

Someone said it was

[solar portal]

genuinely blood thirsty for no reason

[cedar goblet]

I’m not promoting anything, I’m just doing an introduction

[swift sail]

if they start linking to buy their shit ping me otherwise it's just someone saying hi

[wide trail]

Oh ok sorry

[wide trail]

Sorry

[cedar goblet]

It’s alright

Well I’m not sure about the mods but I don’t really care

[shell swallow]

Don't worry @cedar goblet , I'm sure you're not the only one here with autism.

[solar portal]

welcome sundance

[cedar goblet]

Thank you

[solar portal]

can confirm he's not lol

[cedar goblet]

I’m not really ashamed of having autism, it’s just a thing I have

[wide trail]

I didn't mean to take you down or anything, that other guy said self-promo and I just alerted mods. Should've read the message first.

[shell swallow]

I think that was a joke. You might have, uhh, missed some social cues.

[wide trail]

I think I can point out the difference between a joke and a mistaken call-out

[swift sail]

we're all friends here

[cedar goblet]

That’s fair

[solar portal]

real and true

just got a golden sticker on even steven

[wide trail]

Yeah my fault. I won't be alerting mods anytime soon, bad things always happen to me when I snitch.

[trail ginkgo]

Can’t seem to beat green stake of red or blue deck, any tips? My builds always fall apart around ante 4 and 5

[swift sail]

you can alert the mods and this is fine i promise i'm not mad

if i was mad you'd be gone!

[shell swallow]

Is there really nobody here who plays on Xbox that can take a look at the Japanese translation? About to go to bed.

[solar portal]

economy is very important

if you dont try to find a way to generate money you probably should

[cedar goblet]

Like a gold stake sticker
Cuz if so, nice

[trail ginkgo]

I see, I do, but I feel like I need all 5 joker spots to bring me mult and chips. I guess I just gotta trust the process

[solar portal]

yaya

[solar portal]

do you use planets?

they're very good but a lot of people underestimate them

[trail ginkgo]

I have, I don’t use them too too much.

I used them to win on the first stake

[uncut magnet]

Do challenge number 20 is worse than ripping a hangnail

[solar portal]

you should definitly use them and try to focus on mostly one hand i recommend doing that

[shell swallow]

I just got to Ante 10 because I got Pair up to level 10

[trail ginkgo]

I’ve heard planets are shit and planets are great. I’ve heard two sides

[shell swallow]

Lots of points, but... kinda boring.

[wide trail]

Is there an off-topic chat?

[solar portal]

planets are amazing no idea who told you they were shit but idk what they were on teehee

[uncut magnet]

Planets are shit is crazy

[wide trail]

Oh wait there is

[shell swallow]

I basically couldn't play anything but pairs.

[trail ginkgo]

On god I’ve heard this

[solar portal]

they're very useful especially since there's not that many good chip jokers out there

and they dont take joker slot so they'll let you fit a money generator in your build easily

[wide trail]

Guys, what's your top 3 favorite jokers?

[solar portal]

constellation is in it that's all i know

[trail ginkgo]

Yes

[solar portal]

maybe troubadour and ride the bus as the other 2

[trail ginkgo]

Constellation has carried me

[wide trail]

Really? He scales the slowest.

[solar portal]

constellation is pretty amazing

[wide trail]

Ride the bus? Fascinating!

[timid geyser]

constellation is so boring

[solar portal]

yeah but it looks cool and feels fun to me tbh

[hybrid swan]

planets are better in conjunction with retriggers

[solar portal]

and i use planets a lot anyways

so like it's not like it makes me change my playstyle too much

[wide trail]

Me personally my top 3 are: 1. Throwback, 2. Bloodstone, 3. Ancient!

[grand sand]

ballotro joker + photograph can replace triboulet ?

[hybrid swan]

there's a reason why constellation has a .1 scale

[solar portal]

i play a lot of abandoned deck and it has like no drawback on that deck

[trail ginkgo]

So, Econ jokers, planets

[solar portal]

it'd be busted if it was like .2 tbh

[trail ginkgo]

I’ll focus on these

[solar portal]

yes that will definitly help

[wide trail]

I mean throwback is just faster scaling

[solar portal]

dont pick like 5 econ jokers obviously pick like one and if you feel like your build is fully complete and you dont need to make money anymore you can replace it with something else

[trail ginkgo]

If I get Hiker on my very first shop should I grab?

[solar portal]

i would grab it personally

[hybrid swan]

while scaling constellation youre already scaling your flat chips and mult from leveling up poker hands so the only remaining gimmick for constellation is that it's more expensive to ramp up assuming you're not blue seal gaming

[hybrid swan]

throwback is at most x2 on gold steak streaks

[solar portal]

skipping kinda just kills you on higher stakes

[wide trail]

I get an easy 3 or more × on gold stake

[solar portal]

throwback is rly good on white stake tho

cuz u can pretty much do anything without dying on ws

[hybrid swan]

constellation requires you to do something good while throwback requires you to lose shops, interest, other scaling, econ, etc

[wide trail]

But the madness joker actually gets better on higher stakes cuz of eternal

[hybrid swan]

I'm specifically referring to gold steak streaks

[turbid ermine]

i wish there was an infinite version of Balatrodle.

[cedar goblet]

Is there any place in this server where I could post my art

[hybrid swan]

throwing it back lets you not bite your hand off getting mery andrew

[solar portal]

wydm?

[hybrid swan]

easier to get the win in this few rounds achievement for merry andy

[solar portal]

oh it's the speedrun achievement right?

i got it pretty easily

[hybrid swan]

yeah idk what it's called

[solar portal]

speedrun or speedrunner i believe

i got a double constellation today

it was pretty crazy

[hybrid swan]

i don't think they should buff throwback but instead make skipping less trivial apart from the few instances you would because free x2 at most is something I could use in a critical scenario

[hybrid swan]

fun

[solar portal]

i think skipping sucking is good

cuz why would i want to NOT play the game idk

i think it's good that it's something you only do sometimes

[opaque shard]

Skipping sucks except when it doesn't

[hybrid swan]

that's mostly what I like about it

itd be nice to have a few more niche use cases for gold stake skipping like orbital tag and negative for denying verdant leaf

or top up for round 4

not something you do more often than not but something you can think about more often

[cursive sigil]

Which one

[solar portal]

i like orbital takg

[polar hill]

abstract joker and misprint are awesome

[limber moth]

yessir

[hybrid swan]

it landing on straights is my dopamine for the run

[broken swift]

soup

[hexed spruce]

negative cola is crazy

[opaque shard]

Quartz cola

[ionic copper]

What's the best deck to use for C++?

[unkempt copper]

Yall do i take it nah

[agile pawn]

ig any deck you find comfortable to use

[ionic copper]

I just wanna know which is the fastest one to get all of the gold stickers

[agile pawn]

once i get all decks gold staked i'll prob switch between a few decks when going for completionist++

[agile pawn]

anaglyph ig

because double tags + negative tag

[hybrid swan]

yelow

you can win consistently and just roll into whatever joker you haven't stickered yet on the last shop

anaglyph is too inconsistent later on

[ionic copper]

Yeah that's what I was thinking too

[final delta]

what's c++

[agile pawn]

i got 10 gold stickers in a run before but you kinda have to get lucky for the negative tag

[hybrid swan]

gold stake with every jonker

[ionic copper]

Completionist++

[final delta]

how u even got that

get*

[ionic copper]

10$ more at the start isn't that useful imo

[ionic copper]

Win on gold stake with every single joker

[hybrid swan]

it's more than ten dollars. it's the most consistent deck to win streak, early interest is good and maxes on round 3, you can choose to get first ante voucher if you want.

[ionic copper]

Wouldn't it be better to use anaglyph until I have few jokers left?

Then switch to gold

[hybrid swan]

depends how much time you're willing to spend restarting

[ionic copper]

Wdym

[hybrid swan]

anaglyph is difficult to win compared to other decks for the purpose of gold stickering

[dapper dust]

And... as if in revenge, for me saying it would give you a useless joker, it just gave me a blueprint, a spectral to copy it, a "spades give you +3", and an "all spades are debuffed"

[hybrid swan]

you need to establish a joker load out to guarantee the ante 8 win first thing and then hunt for gold stickers and anaglyph is on average harder to do

consistently

as you don't get to choose what you get

[agile pawn]

personally i'd get bored sticking to just a single deck

[wide crane]

CRESAMINGNGNGNG

[mortal bough]

I did anaglyph for most of C++, and I switched to gold at the very end. I'm not sure it was the right approach, honestly, because I found that too often I either just lost, or I never found a negative tag, or the negative tag didn't offer me anything I needed. On a positive note, I think my Balatro skills increased rapidly with the challenge. If I were to do it again, I think I would work a lot more on gold deck, just because easy money > chance of negatives.

[ionic copper]

Got it, thanks

[dapper dust]

Wait, doesn't C++ need you to beat all the decks?

I don't remember what the exact requirement is

[hybrid swan]

I switch decks for the same purpose

[dapper dust]

is it just gold stickers on everything?

[ionic copper]

Yeah

Decks + jokers

[dapper dust]

ah, it does need all decks - glad I'm not banging my head against black deck gold stake for no reason

[ionic copper]

Black deck almost made me give up

[gleaming isle]

Yellow deck is probably the most consistent, Ghost is lrobably my favorite

[limber moth]

exotic butters

[dapper dust]

black deck s/e/i//

[ionic copper]

Now I'm only missing 2: plasma and erratic

[agile pawn]

black deck was my 3rd gold stake

[hybrid swan]

ghost is funny

[ionic copper]

Yeah lol, though I wanna change pic

My fnaf era is gone

[dapper dust]

I mean yeh - its the 3rd deck

clearly that's the order that it should be done in

[gleaming isle]

i gold staked black early on my original C+ grind. Im doing them all in order now on my new save

[limber moth]

fair enough it's been awhile since they put a good one out

[agile pawn]

isn't it the 5th

also i've been doing it out of order

plasma was my first

[hybrid swan]

zamn

same, back when I was white steak pilled

[lime mist]

Im not into stakes beyond white because the difficulty just feels like its from randomness having a higher impact

[final delta]

but what about 100%

[agile pawn]

fair enough

[hybrid swan]

there are players getting decent win streaks on gold steak so the rng is less of a deciding factor but what you do with it

I just play for fun so you should too

[agile pawn]

i don't like blue stake

i want my discard back graaaah

[hybrid swan]

nobody likes blue steak

[solemn elm]

thats why its being reworked

[dapper dust]

I like blue steak - but I don't like blue stake

[hybrid swan]

you what

[dapper dust]

blue steak

[hybrid swan]

she blue on my steak till I wine

[ionic urchin]

riff raff is on fire what the fuck 😭

[unborn maple]

localthunk just tweeted this and deleted it?? uh wtf

[ionic urchin]

is this real

[ornate scaffold]

i have never felt more like a god

[agile pawn]

i see a certain joker there

[ornate scaffold]

i see 5 of them

OH I DIDNT EVEN SEE THE USERNAME LMAO

[ionic urchin]

what is it

[sweet cosmos]

hot take: i absolutely adore balatro but i think its good it did not win GOTY

the game industry wouldve massacred the genre trying to replicate its success, flooding us with mid roguelites for the following ~5 years

instead it stays as best indie game and GOTY nominee which is absolutely peak

[ionic urchin]

we're getting a ton of roguelikes each year anyway

[sweet cosmos]

(i dont have any balatro-pilled mfs in my entourage to drop this take to so you guys get this)

[sweet cosmos]

yes but few corporate slop ones

[olive rover]

Interesting

[agile pawn]

riff raff my goat

[sweet cosmos]

someone needs to do a patch of balatro's font to include all characters

[wide trail]

Throwback hater? I love throwback!

[sweet cosmos]

throwback is peak

shoot the moon is also peak

[ionic urchin]

she throw on my back till i .25 mult

[sweet cosmos]

the only bad jokers are campfire, that one jack mult scaling one and obelisk

[wide trail]

I'm sorry, what is a gold steak streak? I thought you were referring to gold stake as in the gold sticker. I didn't know there were steaks or streaks in this game.

[agile pawn]

and throwback

[wide trail]

Why???

[sweet cosmos]

overall i think the concept of a joker resetting all of its acquired worth on boss blind is just ehh

[ionic urchin]

i mean throwback is a lot weaker in higher stakes

but in white stake its a lot of fun

[sweet cosmos]

true

[ionic urchin]

also the art on the card is one of the best imo

[sweet cosmos]

for sure

[wide trail]

100%

200%*

[wide trail]

It's amazing on gold stake too wdym?

[hybrid swan]

streaks are how many continuous wins you have accumulated. some ppl just happen to streak on gold stake and they usually do it on yellow deck because of the early game insurance

[ionic urchin]

no

[agile pawn]

it scales so bad i hate

graaaaaaaah

[ionic urchin]

it cant keep up with the scaling

[agile pawn]

i got a gold sticker on it though

[sweet cosmos]

why are streaks any relevant

[ionic urchin]

never thought i had to agree with a vi fan 😭🙏

[wide trail]

And is there a certain benefit to the streaks that you're referring to? And what is a steak?

[sweet cosmos]

this is like isaac players doing a dick measuring contest on who has the highest eden streak

[hybrid swan]

it forces you to do something situationally inconvenient to scale the .25

[dry glade]

obelisk is fine

[hybrid swan]

fun

[dry glade]

not rare quality good but fine

[sweet cosmos]

yk idk man i think i just hate jokers that have the capability of resetting

or that have a fixed lifespan

[agile pawn]

throwback is the root of all evil

[hybrid swan]

steak is food

[agile pawn]

throwback brutally murdered my loved ones

[sweet cosmos]

green joker and ride the bus do it good cuz like, you can just keep not discarding/not playing a face card all your run if you want to

[wide trail]

Idk what you speak of with such streaks and steak. I don't see how streaks would affect gameplay and as for steaks, did you mean stake? Because I specifically referred to GOLD stakes. Did you even read my message?

[hybrid swan]

oh nyo

[sweet cosmos]

but obelisk will eventually reset, same as campfire etc

[wide trail]

Two of the worst rares after the entire trio, duo, family, etc.

[hybrid swan]

not if you build up your most played hand before you pivot

[hybrid swan]

i disagree

[sweet cosmos]

no duo trio family etc are good

[agile pawn]

imagine doing green joker + burglar build and then obelisk

[dry glade]

the duo family is awesome

[agile pawn]

i think that would be so peak

maybe

[wide trail]

You still have not addressed my previous message

[sweet cosmos]

it would not because obelisk sucks

in fact

[hybrid swan]

I don't even know what you said

[sweet cosmos]

there we go

[agile pawn]

i'm gonna have to get a gold sticker on obelisk eventually :(

[wide trail]

I see. You probably made a mistake with your wording, I'll look past it. Next time, don't focus so much on the cover-up as on the actual argument. Admit when you're mistaken and move on, that's it.

[upper elk]

Who died?

[sweet cosmos]

i'll try completionist+ but ++ is too nolife for me

[shy heart]

hey look its an ovo

[sweet cosmos]

balatro mod try not to have the most shitpost-looking ass art ever challenge

(some do actually succeed)

[agile pawn]

have fun with black deck gold stake

[wide trail]

Obelisk used to be my opp but thankfully it doesn't show up on my shop

I used to lose runs because of the 'lisk, but now I think I've got no risk

The timing was near when he was on my block, but now he's gone and I'm at the top.

[sweet cosmos]

🫡 im cooked

[unborn maple]

I hope you get the plant next ante

[shy heart]

im on ante 8 tho

[wide trail]

I personally don't, I use the best collab skins and they still suck.

[unborn maple]

I don't use any skins. I run around as a fleshy red meat creature

[short bear]

my stats dont update even on unseeded, i just got e118 is it because i have mods installed? i have seeded challenges, talisman and handy

[sharp bison]

Hi all quick question, just finished completionist +, didn't get the steam achievement, started new run, restarted game, lost a run didn't work, checked if I had the unlock all on profil that would disable achievements, the button was blacked out, wasn't sure if that meant it was already toggled, so I clicked, warning popped up telling me it would disable achievements, changed profil to try it out there but option isn't available on new profile apparently. So I look back at the first, click to see the warning again and it toggles it on, now i'm locked out of achievements, I'm assuming it is irreversible? is there anything I can do but cry? (completionist + is still nowhere to be found)

[hybrid swan]

the original statement was talking about the reliability of throwback on gold steak. i went against your ideals of throwbacks viability with its very conditional play style you lean to in order to scale it. the example I used just happens to be gold stake streaks since it's something I do to take a jokers viability into more critical detail and see what scenarios I'll take it or not. a first x mult choice? not really but for emergencies I'll do it if I'm that desperate which is more rare then not with the nature of skipping at the highest stakes. to which I'll meet halfway because flower pot exists

[wide trail]

They gotta focus more on numbered cards because you can't really get high scores without face-integrated builds.

[unborn maple]

you have do win another run @sharp bison

it's weird and idk why it's programmed like that

[short bear]

win another game on gold stake

[sharp bison]

thanks for the info that is weird, but will it still be doable now that i am achivement locked?

or am I screwed

[short bear]

not screwed

i had the same happen to me with the challenge achievement, i jsut had to win another game on any challenge and then got the achievement

[wide trail]

Again with the steaks and streaks, irrelevant. And your original reply was "I am referring to gold stakes" when I literally talked about gold stakes. It's clear you overlooked my message and you fail to admit it because of your pride on a discord conversation about a card game. That's something else.

[turbid ermine]

just got an ante 1 invs joker

[sharp bison]

okay thanks i'll try that completionist ++ is out of the question though i would assume

[wide trail]

Idk how but I have gotten higher

[shy heart]

[vast oracle]

It's probably because I need one more joker

[hybrid swan]

my original reply was throwback was x2 at most for my reasoning. not the one after

[wide trail]

And that is?

[magic schooner]

Unhinged joker art lmao

[wide trail]

And I told you that I've gotten higher on average, yet you dismissed that argument. Odd.

[vast oracle]

Dunno...throwback

[hybrid swan]

I dismissed it because throwback is inherently decisive with its reliability. nothing else to mention

[magic schooner]

Wait i didn't even see the face cards at first

[wide trail]

WWWWWWWWWW

[vast oracle]

I had it in that run but sold it because I had to

[wide trail]

What you need is a negative

Joker

[vast oracle]

I used two ectoplasm and fucked up

[wide trail]

I honestly do not remember what build I did to get 37 billion, I remember it being weak because I sold a blueprint. I could probably have brought it to the e ranges with that print gl

Ngl*

[wide trail]

Dang

[vast oracle]

Well at least I have a new record

[wide trail]

And for no reason at all. Because I've shared my experiences with you, you're narcissistic enough to take pride in only your experience. You deny the possibility, no, the EXISTENCE of other outcomes for other people.

[wide trail]

Yeah, good on ya.

[vast oracle]

Still not sure how people get 100K times more than that

Oh and I unlocked ceres

[wide trail]

Very few select builds. The two I know are trib builds and baron builds.

[wide trail]

Nice. What is that?

[vast oracle]

One planet card left to unlock

[wide trail]

Which one?

[vast oracle]

Planet card

[vast oracle]

How am I supposed to know

[wide trail]

I think I've unlocked it. I only need 1 more according to the databooks

[wide trail]

Which ones do you have?

[vast oracle]

Oh wait I think it's royal flush

[long blaze]

you can skip in this game!?

[wide trail]

There's no planet card for royal flush I'm afraid.

[vast oracle]

When is balatro 2

[wide trail]

Royal flush is just straight flush lol

[hybrid swan]

straight flush with more rizz

[lime mist]

As they say. C's get degrees

[vast oracle]

I have these

[wide trail]

Ah yes, you're missing the flush five one. I am too

[vast oracle]

Ah yea almost forgot about it

[wide trail]

It unlocks a very decent joker, it makes every planet card and planet booster pack free

[vast oracle]

For the whole run?

[wide trail]

Yep

[vast oracle]

Dang

[hybrid swan]

you'll find the synergies for that joker to be very fun

[vast oracle]

That's very good with telescope

[wide trail]

I can only really see a perkeo build with the voucher that gives you mult for each planet. Still pretty good, though.

[wide trail]

Yep

[wide trail]

Very good with the planet merchant too

[agile pawn]

constellation too

[hybrid swan]

the runs I kept it so far was just for campfire and constellation. havent ran perkyo astro constellation yet

[wide trail]

I hate constellation

[wide trail]

Oh, well that's prolly cuz perkeo is impossible to get

[hybrid swan]

yeah

[wide trail]

Constellation sucks so bad

[hybrid swan]

why

well

I can't say that completely because blue seals exist

it's hella expensive to ramp

it ramps your flat chips and mult while doing xmult

is it just because of the slow ramp and cost

[wide trail]

As if I have the money for all the planet cards to be able to build it early game. I need the money for the jokers, especially the constellation itself it costs like 6 dollars. It's just very demanding if you're relying on it alone for early game.

[hybrid swan]

because I haven't really had much problems. obviously I'll never take it early

[vast oracle]

Yeah and with constellation it gets even better

[hybrid swan]

early game constellation is a throw for me too

[wide trail]

You know what isn't a throw? Throwback! Best at early game.

[hybrid swan]

grer

grrr

[wide trail]

😉

[vast oracle]

I also love throwback

[hybrid swan]

give me a random throwback seed

I need to see the bottom of the abyss

[wide trail]

Idk but I once had a perko first round

I lost the seed because I never saved on my notes

[hybrid swan]

the next time you get a throw it back w

[wide trail]

...

[vast oracle]

I'm surprised that I have smiley face first

[hybrid swan]

rebate w

[wide trail]

That joker that gives you base chips from cards in deck needs to go, joker with the tarot mult could be decent but why are you using it so much? And the joker that adds the times played to mult needs to go too.

[vast oracle]

Because I used it alot when I was new in the game I just started to understand it

[wide trail]

By ante 12 I'd be lucky to stick to one hand 10 times, the maximum mult output on that joker has to be below 20.

[upper elm]

Playing

[vast oracle]

I use alot of tarots cards so Fortune teller is great for early game

[dry ferry]

amazing

[nova lintel]

be patient and have fun :)

[wide trail]

I'm sure we all do but you're focusing on flat mult much more than mult×

[hybrid swan]

blue joker description is false advertising, it tells you what you score but -16 chips

[agile pawn]

my most used joker is hanging chad at like 1.5k rounds or something i forgot

[hybrid swan]

my most used was red card 😐

[nova lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/tony-stark-jarvis-gif-22373764

[dry ferry]

see the only problem is that when i play i get not very good hands/jokers then i lose and i no have fun

[grand dune]

The greenest, the meanest, and the illest joker build I've gotten yet, yo:

[wide trail]

What's blue card again?

[hybrid swan]

bro can't win with anything else but red card

[wide trail]

What is red card?

[agile pawn]

red card my beloved

[hybrid swan]

2 chips for every card in your remaining deck

[vast oracle]

Ik that and I know it's no use but it just that my luck is bad

[wide trail]

Oh yeah because cards go into your hand and exit your deck and when you discard they don't go back in deck

[nova lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/wenomecha-in-the-sama-gif-25897796

[vast oracle]

I can't get mult x

[hybrid swan]

+3 mult per booster skip

[vast oracle]

Tho I need it

[vast oracle]

It's bad

[thick river]

any fate fans!!!

[hybrid swan]

it's the fastest common plus mult scaler in the game for the time you pick it up early

[wide trail]

Oh that one sucks man like Idk who would buy boosters just to skip them unless it's late game and you have a lot of money but by then a red card would be too much commitment for flat mult and all-in-all it's just far too situational.

[nova lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/wenomecha-in-the-sama-gif-25897796

[thick river]

dni if ur not a fate fan!!!

[vast oracle]

I also try to have the my least useful tarots in my consumable items so I don't get them in booster packs

[nova lintel]

dni?

[cedar goblet]

I wish there was a channel for art that wasn’t just balatro fanart

[grand flint]

Wsg

[wide trail]

You don't save good tarots? 💀 you're not using them correctly

[hybrid swan]

most of the time I normally skip anyways if the booster packs do not provide any immediate advantage. it allows me to be more hand agnostic early and late if I want to with scoring on jokers and not on cards.

[wide trail]

Why's you join a balatro server? Just send it on #🃏・off-topic ig

[hybrid swan]

late game you can sell it if you want if it already did its job to get out early

[wide trail]

I could never skip a pack early game, unless it were like eternal eggs or whatnot.

[cedar goblet]

I mean yeah ik it’s a server about balatro but I wish that the only art channel wasn’t dedicated solely to balatro fanart, cuz like even then a general art channel would still have a lot of balatro fanart since this is the balatro server

[wide trail]

Still would not skip

[hybrid swan]

booster packs don't always reward you with what you want, red card does in that sense

[vast oracle]

U sure didn't understand what I said
Ex:if u have the tower tarot there is in consumable items there is no way u can get it in a booster pack which is good

[hybrid swan]

I'm not gonna say no to 18 mult per ante

[agile pawn]

what if the only options you had were eternal rental misprint and eternal rental 8 ball

[nova lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/northern-lion-hammers-balatro-weezer-california-snow-gif-739195486779958071

[vast oracle]

That will give me more chance to get the tarot I want

[wide trail]

I'm saying you save the good tarots to use in a round, booster packs are often very limited and don't allow you to customise your hands on the spot. I wouldn't be keeping bad tarots in my consumable spots.

[wide trail]

That's what I meant by very situational

And I'd rather go for a banana or something for early flat mult

[ashen brook]

can i still earn achievements with mods?

[slim junco]

you can go in settings

and set to bypass

[vast oracle]

If u use booster pack u can't save tarot unless u use the fool or the emperor

[wide trail]

It's just generally not that rewarding. There are more humane ways of achieving early flat mult

[weary ermine]

What y’all think about checkered deck?

[hybrid swan]

aw man

[grand flint]

So since you dont want it all to be balatro, but you want other fanart, you are implying that the gravitational pull of the earth, multiplied by 1.2 (bus stop joker) equals to 1.2 multiplied by the gravitational pull of the earth

[wide trail]

I know, that's why you shouldn't focus so much on booster tarots opposed to just normal tarots from shop.

[ashen brook]

bypass what?

[vast oracle]

And if I find a good tarot card in shop I can sell my unwanted tarot and get it

[cedar goblet]

No, I mean like, I wish there was a general art channel, not that there was no balatro fanart channel

[agile pawn]

i like to keep tarots that i don't need so they don't appear in the shop

[wide trail]

500k, you're literally dead next round. That is the most makeshift build ever 💀

[vast oracle]

I find booster packs more useful

[hybrid swan]

but drspectred says it's good so I must tunnel vision onto what this one person says

[grand flint]

Ohh i understanding now

[wide trail]

They're really not.

Unless planet boosters

[hybrid swan]

I was farming gold stickers

that's why I only had 3 functional jokers

I've won with 2 before but that was a fluke

[wide trail]

Exactly what I meant. Red card isn't good. Even the straight guys who gives chips is better.

Guy*

[hybrid swan]

18 mult per ante isn't good? this has to be bait

[cedar goblet]

I usually skip for a polychrome or negative and investment tag
Cuz like, negative jokers are rare in the first place, and even if the joker isn’t useful, it’s still negative and free, and polychromes can always be useful

[wide trail]

That's an naively optimistic way of looking at it lmao

[vast oracle]

Not for me

[wide trail]

Whatever floats your boat

[hybrid swan]

it's flat mult scaling while being hand agnostic...

idk how I can argue against that if I converted against it

[vast oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/smg4-mario-yeah-that-makes-sense-that-makes-sense-understandable-gif-18443335

[hybrid swan]

swash egg takes two slots and scales slower than red

pants require you to play a specific hand (but he gets a pass because I can go obelisk gaming)

[cedar goblet]

@wide trail your name reminds me of a joke my AP computer science teacher once told us about, that was about a programmer not being happy about getting a first place medal, cuz every programming language starts with 0, and not one (except for Pseudocode, cuz it’s weird)

[wide trail]

As I've said before, it requires a commitment. You're not going to open that many boosters per ante on average.

[hybrid swan]

is there a faster or more versatile flat mult scaling I'm forgetting?

[wide trail]

Like you'd be lucky to get ONE booster per shop that's skippable.

[hybrid swan]

with enough money you can. ante 2 is possible, ante 3 is more common for me to get online with other random commons but red I don't move out yet

[cedar goblet]

A swashbuckler and polychrome egg helped me get my first red stake

[hybrid swan]

planet packs I auto skip with red

[hybrid swan]

congrats on your egg win

[cedar goblet]

thank you

[hybrid swan]

arcana depends

but I don't always auto skip

which is nice about red card

[wide trail]

With enough money, anything is possible. This one is on the more money-hungry side, which is why I stated it's horrible for early game and very situational for late game, that's IF you have something to be replaced by it.

[vast oracle]

How😑😑

[hybrid swan]

I don't HAVE to skip to get value from it

[wide trail]

💀 this is the exact sentence that proves my point, it requires such a commitment

[wide trail]

But you're not getting much of ANY value from it if you don't

[vernal radish]

whole lotta chips 😁

[hybrid swan]

that's what I thought when I first played the game

[vast oracle]

Skill issue

[cedar goblet]

I don’t see that as much of an issue tbh

[hybrid swan]

what flat mult scaling joker would you run with

[pallid sapphire]

Remove all hearts, then for one round use the sun on three cards and play them, that should work surely

Unless you did that and still didn't get it

[wide trail]

I wouldn't go for a flat mult scaling for high score runs but the pants are definitely way better, being forced to play a certain hand is a part of every build.

[hybrid swan]

it doesn't have to be

[hybrid swan]

oh if it's for high score runs I'll play anything else

I'm just seeing what I use for gold steaks because I wanna see what the game balancing is like for a roguelike like this

[wanton monolith]

I dont understand how obelisk work how did you manage to upgrade it to x5.8 mult?

gg btw

[hybrid swan]

play a certain hand for a long period of time and then after like 15ish poker hands, switch to other hands to ramp it up

[pallid sapphire]

Played 29 hands that weren't his most played hand

[wide trail]

And the tarot one exists that gives +1 mult per tarot card, reroll joker exists, the boots joker exists that gives +2 mult per 5 dollars, etc.

[hybrid swan]

fortune teller can bury himself in the ground

I never wanna see him again

bootstraps is practically the opposite of red card but I'm restricted the options to see more shops in order to scale it

[wanton monolith]

Oh wow, I hadn't thought of something so simple, haha, thanks

It's just that I don't usually survive that long in one game to develop those kinds of strategies lmao

[wide trail]

Swashbuckler, supernova, dagger, are all good options too

[hybrid swan]

obelisk isn't an auto pick though, you need to be able to be hand agnostic which retriggering jokers don't work very well since you're abandoning the poker hand you played so much and potentially built up for. an obelisk autopick would be considered when you have available flat chips and mult from either enhanced cards or ramping mult jokers that score as a joker and not from planets.

[wide trail]

No it isn't. They both are expensive, difference is that bootstraps is arguably more affordable in general.

[wide trail]

Restricted? Dawg you're very hypocritical, as if you have money to buy so many boosters (which will mostly have to be skipped to build red card btw) and yet you don't have enough money for boot joker?

[hybrid swan]

swash requires a second joker slot for slower scaling. supernova locks me into spammable hands that may kill me if I run into a few unfortunate bosses. dagger... dagger is poggers I like dagger

[odd tangle]

a

[wide trail]

Swashbuckler is dependent on how expensive your jokers are and again with the hands, most builds requires you to play a certain hand.

It's crazy how far you've gone to defend red card that you're contradicting yourself in what you feel are advantages of the red card. As if a disadvantage of another joker does not apply to red card twice as worse, and as if the advantages of red card does not apply to other jokers twice as good.

[hybrid swan]

bootstraps while alleviating the stress for econ maxing, limits your options for seeing more shops which money is good for. in a roguelike where every run is insisted on randomness. seeing more shops with the money accumulated is a better resource for money for my play style if I have to find flat mult. I can't tunnel on which joker I get so I'll get it and use it strengths. I just wouldn't prefer playing around it's restrictions like you would for red card when they provide flat mult.

[wide trail]

Aren't you the same guy who said that having a steak streak is relevant to a poker roguelike card game?

[hybrid swan]

who came up with that matter

I'm just a guy who plays for fun

[wide trail]

I can't see any further from your subjective bias. Your prejudice is disallowing you from seeing the truth in the game, you're still hypocritical as always, you deny the fact that red card requires more upfront and consistent investment that most flat mult scales, and you're basically implementing discrimination into a card game with your perspective. I only speak objectively, so don't argue unless you have the mindset.

[median sonnet]

I'm pretty new to the game how can I win as I'm trying to unlock more decks

general advice is hard to give out but something I would say is check and see where your scoring is coming from and the timing of it

Unlocking decks are easy, unlocking stakes are the hard part.

Not rhetorical, nothings wrong with my name.

You'll learn. I suggest watching YouTube videos and channels like roffle lite.

didn't he say red card is good lmao

I've seen his videos that's why I installed it but most of the vids I've watched are him getting funny decks

No?

bruh

[wide trail]

Oh, well keep learning.

And you can ask for advice mid-run, people here will usually help you... (usually)

[hybrid swan]

he has this question asked all the time on stream, the same response he gives is that it's the best common flat mult scaler for the time that it's useful in. then proceeds to make fun of chat for dunking on it

I've never seen him say that in all my time watching him, are we watching the same guy?

Wait let me try to open youtube

1 sec

But tell me what he said

I'm trying to find another video for a more clear cut answer cause he explained it in further detail that wasn't this one

[balmy needle]

What is your dagger doing if you don’t have a slot to sacrifice to the right of it

[vast oracle]

That's kinda difficult

[balmy needle]

It won’t scale that way

Alrighty. Ping me when you find it.

Now I need to unlock this

[wide trail]

Which joker is that?

[hybrid swan]

do you have a preference of how far back the source goes? five months? three?

[solar portal]

he did

im not gonna be able to find the exact video but he did defend red card, i do think red card is pretty okay if you're not going for a high score run tbh.

[wide trail]

No preference, just a clear and concise clip of him saying those words.

[median sonnet]

What deck do I unlock for winning with red deck

[tacit igloo]

AHAHAH

[wide trail]

I never argued against it being horrible, I argued against it being one of the best. But I do personally think it's horrible and I've stated that before, but as all personal statements I leave it out of the conversation.

[hybrid swan]

blew

[solar portal]

oh i haven't read the argument fully and i dont really care about it but i do remember roffle saying red card was good so thought i should say that

[wide trail]

Ok, nice to hear.

Drop the const for bloodstone?

[astral lintel]

nah

[vast oracle]

How am I supposed to know

[hybrid swan]

I'm not as good at formulating my own words without sounding like someone else's. that's why I was leaning too hard on it. it was my most used joker so I was pretty strong with it but other biases I have aren't stated like playing a certain way. throwback was my morally grey area so I was wondering if I can play a run with it that you happen to play towards it to see what additional things I can do with it

[wide trail]

Idk this is my first mime baron build I don't know what to do.

[astral lintel]

what lvl is your high card

[wide trail]

Wdym addition thing?

[solar portal]

surely bloodstone sucks if you're playing a single card

[astral lintel]

yeah

[wide trail]

I agree but it's early antes

Ante 4

i would keep the poly constellation tbh

he plays a lot of gold stake, for that purpose it’s one of the best for flat mult. the times he doesn’t take it are for when he was using it too much and when he was going for a poker hand specific build

[wide trail]

Ohh I see. Wait, you never got that one?

[solar portal]

agreed

[hybrid swan]

I'm not a fan of rerolling though

[astral lintel]

yeah red card is nice not that expensive

[swift trellis]

ive had it unlocked for so long but i could never find it

[hybrid swan]

that's what I'm saying!

[hybrid swan]

I can't say that though because I have to find a video source to refute this

[wide trail]

That's because you would need glass cards in your deck, sir.

[hybrid swan]

I'm going to go mental

[median sonnet]

What should I try going for to get to ante 8 with red deck

[swift trellis]

what.

[solar portal]

i can vouch roffle did say red card was good

[hybrid swan]

me too

[swift trellis]

you need. glass cards. IN YOUR DECK. to even FIND it????

[long blaze]

me too

[swift trellis]

that is actually awful

[solar portal]

yes u do$

[astral lintel]

yeah it says u need 5 on the wiki

in the deck

[swift trellis]

nobody told me this information i was just spamming runs fishing for it not making any glasses because i didnt know i needed to

[swift trellis]

thats to unlock

not find

[hybrid swan]

@wide trail do I still need to look for it orr can I be free

[solar portal]

u need 1 to find iirc

[swift trellis]

well it doesnt matter. i finally have it now

[astral lintel]

nice

gg

[swift trellis]

i finally have the full discovered collection

time to actually play the videogame

[astral lintel]

now c+

and then c++

no game

grind.

[median sonnet]

What jokers and stuff should I aim for to get to ante 8 on red deck

[solar portal]

ima get c++ before c+

[wide trail]

You never had to look for it, I don't hold it against someone to win an argument. I'm fine with opinions, just don't use them in an argument.

[swift trellis]

thats the thing about balatro, really any build can work if you tinker it enough

[hybrid swan]

[swift trellis]

you definitely want xmult in there SOMEWHERE though or you wont get far

[astral lintel]

yea

[median sonnet]

Xmult?

[swift trellis]

multiplying mult

xmult for short

it takes whatever mult you're at and then multiplies it by whatever number it says

[wide trail]

I WANNA BARON MIME SO BAD BUT I CAN'T GET BARON OR MIME 😭

[astral lintel]

had a run but mid decisions killed it

[swift trellis]

sometimes xmult is conditional, it really depends on the joker

[median sonnet]

Is there a specific card or Is it based on where my jokers are?

[swift trellis]

wdym

[astral lintel]

there are a loit of jokers that can do the job

if you are wondering about the order generaly it can be chips,+mult,xmult

[median sonnet]

Would it be like that banana card that has a 1 in 6 chance of disappearing

[astral lintel]

banana gives +15 mult yes

[primal grove]

gamble on the wheel and get polychrome

[astral lintel]

true

[maiden fjord]

is that a house

[astral lintel]

yes

[wide trail]

Somewhere? You literally can't win the game without multiple sources of xmult.

[maiden fjord]

I'm a big fan
Where is apartment

[primal grove]

idk maybe you can get enough mult if you scale red card or ride the bus high enough

[long blaze]

i’m a big air conditioner

[astral lintel]

in terraria

[opaque shard]

What's one joker that's better than people give it credit to

[maiden fjord]

Makes sense

[median sonnet]

So would it go scary face, mystic summit, raised fist?

[pallid sapphire]

You only need like one xmult

[primal grove]

also, planets for upgrading the base value of any given hand

[opaque shard]

I think certificate is pretty good personally

[pallid sapphire]

Certificate is great

[long blaze]

you only need one good one lmao

[pallid sapphire]

All those random seals are amazing

[wide trail]

That would still require multiple sources of xmult until you build up flat mult

[opaque shard]

I recently got a run with almost all purple seals

[pallid sapphire]

Busted

[long blaze]

which is less reliable with x multis being uncommon

[opaque shard]

I didn't win unfortunately but it was really good

[wide trail]

Maybe for endgame, early and middle game still require a decent amount of xmult usually.

[median sonnet]

I had a run where almost every card was gold

[astral lintel]

find obelisk very funy

[opaque shard]

Obelisk is awesome and epic

[pallid sapphire]

I had a crazy zodiac run recently with certificate and trading card, so my deck never spiraled out of control but I always had seals to work with

[long blaze]

i’m not hedging my bets to rely on uncommon jokers to fill in my xmult space early

[wide trail]

Fair

[opaque shard]

That's really cool

[long blaze]

YESHH OBELICKS

[wide trail]

wait 1 sec

[long blaze]

setting myself for failure speedrun

[wide trail]

Ok, carry on.

[astral lintel]

yes x mult is very good on lvl 1 high card

[median sonnet]

What's the obelisk do again I've had it appear but I haven't brought it yet

[astral lintel]

it scales +0,2X for every hand wiuthout playing your most scored hand

and then resets if you play the most scored hand

[glad oriole]

its very strong if you find it early and play into it

[long blaze]

oh yeah it scales insanely fast

[median sonnet]

Dham I somehow got 200,000

[astral lintel]

nice

[glad oriole]

it is quite difficukt to use tho

[pallid sapphire]

I still need to do the monolith challenge

[glad oriole]

takes sone planning and care

[astral lintel]

if you keep it up you will easy beat the ante 8

[long blaze]

and foresight

[median sonnet]

But my most played hand is two pair so I'd lose it so fast

[median sonnet]

I lost at ante 8

[wide trail]

I personally dislike obelisk... a lil

[long blaze]

if your pants are high enough then you can start ramping up your obelisk

[median sonnet]

If I remember I had something that affected Queens and had that and got 2 kings and 3queens with like a couple queens in my hand

[astral lintel]

oh yea pants good idea

[long blaze]

and move away from 2 pairs

[median sonnet]

Should I be buying planet cards or what

[astral lintel]

yeah they can decide where your run is going

[median sonnet]

Could someone try helping me win if I stream it or something?

[pallid sapphire]

But then you'll never actually learn, cause that person would be piloting for you lol

[median sonnet]

Nah I don't mean it like that I mean like telling me what the best cards would be

[long blaze]

there is no best card

that’s the fun of the roguelike

[pallid sapphire]

Yeah it largely depends on your play style

[livid delta]

hello

[wide trail]

What's the highest xmult a single card has given you?

Single joker*

[neon wren]

e60ish?

[wide trail]

No I mean like single joker not a joker that enables other cards to mult

Like for example this is my highest

Yorick on 14 mult

[long blaze]

probably x43 for glass joker

[wide trail]

Dang that puts mine to shame

[long blaze]

hey you’ll get there easily with due time, i just got lucky

[elder fog]

should i sell stencil or go for the 2 in 3 odds

[long blaze]

sell stencil for the funny

[agile pawn]

do y'all like my build

[valid panther]

what does c+ and c++ here and on subreddit mean

next to user name usually

[elder fog]

cool+

[valid panther]

thats lame

[elder fog]

cool++

[slow mesa]

could someone help me with installing mods? i tried on my own but im bad with written instructions so if someone could hop onto a call for a minute or two i would be very thankful

[buoyant verge]

balatro

[magic steppe]

one mf got x2400 on lucky cat

[warm pike]

there are three completionist achievements in balatro but apparently only c+ and c++ are worth anything

[pallid sapphire]

W burnt joker enjoyer
