Yeah it would be easier if you can force a serpent
That's why I always turn my kings Gold early in Baron runs
Stock up on money for the boss rerolls
It gets really expensive
Money isn't an issue, I got a nat negative rebate
You're gonna need more than you'd think still
i'm earning 125 * 3 every round
I had 14k once and it got snuffed after 20 antes
so if i stop rolling for pluto i can have a couple thousand to roll for serpent
oh damn
you also run into an issue every 8 antes
They have Perkeo, it should be fine
can't make a showdown blind become serpent
You need a ton of money if you don't have the legendary
When you start hitting E's, planets only become 1.5x for observatory, they're not worth leveling up your hand anymore
theoretically if I get serpent and access to a shop beforehand I could sell perkeo if I find something more useful right?
Just roll for it once
okay will bare that in mind
The strat I'd go is stock up on negative Plutos for Observatory, then sell Perkeo for something else
Yeah plutos won't get you far enough
Well, do you wanna go ante 39? Or just Naneinf?
That's better if you can beat the blinds with no plutos
just naninf
Then focus on Cryptids
If the blinds are starting to catch up, I'd recommend rolling for Serpent if you have retcon
Then full on send it with your cryptids
That is a problem
after this ante it'll be a net loss
Bean should probably get you far enough
Ya have retcon?
yea
And how many dosh?
700 rn
Hope and pray that damn snake comes
will get another 300+ from last boss of this ante
Because I assure you, 700 dollars probably isn't enough lmfao
I believe in the heart of the cards
On expectation it would lol
Spending 2k to reroll it in my experience
Just pray for a medium roll, not even a high roll
The sooner you can get it online the better
I've also accidentally hit naneinf once
I miscalculated in the best way possible and thought I wouldn't score enough
But then it just kept going
Okay thank god I got serpent
To beat the blinds i'll need to use 3 cryptids up until the boss
so still positive 1 cryptid per round for 2 rounds
So I play the 2 small blinds, and get to 46 cryptids
Just make sure you don't accidentally win in the serpent round before you cryptid lol
I'll need 16 more cards total after cryptids
I have 44 currently
How many discards and hands ya got?
Because you wanna use all but one hand before you discard
I might just barely win
And then cryptid it
Okay ima send it
Play the two hands first and then discard 5 times
What's the score requirement? Let us see your setup
You maybe could've snagged a burglar first
If you are sure you need 3 cryptids for the normal blinds you shouldn't win without cryptid for the serpent
Also, serpent makes your hands and discards additional cryptids
So you essentially have 54 now
I don't think burglar helps that much
It does alot for naneinf
If they're that close to just winning the round
do i take banana?
The discards help to increase the hand size without winning
Why do you need that cloud nine on a Photochad run?
Sorry I have 5 hands and 3 discards
I doubt i'll win after using 4 hands right?
4 hands = 4 cryptids so maybe
I mean i could just not copy baron mime
Yeah
WHAT
I love Baseball Card
I don't think you should skip for getting a Lvl20 to Lvl23
You're winning alot with Photochad, the blind reward+interest should keep it net positive
Oh with double tags
ya
idk maybe
that could go kind of hard
yeah
but then again flushes dont scale that well
i guess if youre just trying to win it could be worth it tho
yeah, I would rather just play pairs
the banana won't do much either
gl
thats the mod called that tells you youre score?
ya
Should I have lesser xmult before or after higher xmult
Got the daily Balatrodle already lol
Like if I had something with 3x but also something with 2x, would 2x go before or after 3x
how can you get your deck fixed like this in ante 2
LETS GOOOOOOO
congrats
thank you everyone who helped 🙏
I know it's the easiest deck but I just wanted to get it done 😭
no plasma is the easiest
idk, maybe easier on plasma
oh fr?
yeah on plasma you can get about the same score with half the amount of cryptids
Launch all 230 gold cards for this econ 🫡
Ggs, naneinf
Shop 1 Rental Banana?
3
7
how many mimes? LMAO
is this enough for vv?
what jokers
Showman gave me 2 additional ones and then invis sadly hit one lol
no
to help gauging how much score you'll need
thats why computers are invented
We got money tho
When I did this, the hand took 30 minutes
Suppose you haven't got the justice, you definitely won't beat vv in one hand
I'm not saying to calculate the score to the most accuracy, but it's useful to get an estimate
or you can just ask in discord every time you've got a scoring choice lmao
Balatro yuri or Balatro Yaoi

Yuri
anyone want to play some casual mult?
Holy
Whathesigma
Crazy end btw
Lels
Bloodstone and opps is one of the most broke 2 joker combos
I nicked it opps all bloody! Cause of the blinds getting splattered by it
Good name
Must... resist... stupidity impulse
I call opps + lust + photochad + sock
Opps! Killed a whole family and stole their socks!
DO IT
DO IT
DO IT
DO IT
DO IT
Crazy name 20/10
Fine, I'll do it
Yorick...
I knew I should'nt have heard those strange voices in my head
STAYING CALM
I now basically just need to live long enough to build up the Cryptid stack
Unless you get plant (And you don't have directors cut) its an easy naneinf
Congrats on the naneinf
-Roffle
Both of which are possible lol
I hate Lusty Joker
Naninf is possible if you get serpent late enough
I don't have re-roll but haven't seen the plant yet
naur
you can't say something good about bloodstone
Neigh
whinny
With
negative burglar and dna is interesting
I can give the seed if yall want it its insane
negative burger sounds crappy
holy where is your econ
oh pretty great for a first attempt
I had a naturally Negative Burglar (sort of) in a partially seeded run and it resulted in me having over $20,000
So I was wondering anyways, is having 2 mimes good enough instead of having 4 copying jokers
not really no
you need 4 copies because they need to go on burger
you need the hands
Okay okay
maybe u can close the gap a little w dna and a hand size skip if u get lucky
idkk he has 3 double skips r u sure
I saw like 4 negatives total and those were to the moon, dna burglar and banner which lets be honest is crazy cool and lucky cause Im for sure not doing this right
+15 handsize instead of a copy seems good
3xed my score with it
naw maybe not
I mean yeah I guess that's good but at some point you want to skip into serpent instead of playing blinds
it could score naninf in a high enough ante, but they'Re not
you gotta add the burger serpents
naninf on the last hand
With enough copy jokers, it will
w 4 optimal copy jokers
2 mime 2 baron? i rmr it as 3 baron 1 mime
its 3b 1m
Yeah so showman / invisible joker it is until I find an other copying joker then im ready once I got more steels in my deck to try it, is that right ?
I really dont wanna mess this up but im a bit confused for the final setup
u can be ready w a extra baron too and look for a juggle tag before serpent
Okay good
Converting to?
From gold to steel
steel
What I mean is should I dna steels and begin merging
Or should I keep on farming
Yes im a bit broke im aware
u r already at %50 that means u can get whatever card set u want steel or gold u should start converting when u get behind 10e's
How broke
439 buckaronees
nah not 10e its only like 3 antes
maybe start a bit earlier
50% ? Of all antes you mean ?
Oh yeah okay
if u want money its still fine w %70 steel and thats what u usually do but u have burglar
so u cant dig for golds
Yeah maybe that fucks me doesnt it
kinda does but u need it too
But I have it negative I cant rly say no
your dna is negative too thats what u sell for burglar in a regular attempt
Okay so play broke and hope for the best is the general vibe
Yeah its far from optimal, thanks for all the advices
I got lucky with negatives cause otherwise I think I did multiple medium to big mistakes
how do i check boss blind history with handy
Oh no. Is this... is this a throwback run?
I'd only be able to get it to 2.25 by ante 8 boss. And swashegg is doing more than red card
Its a bp run for sure
Speaking of mistakes
Forgot to reroll
Gg lads
Gonna try on the same seed until I get it
E9EBUE1L if anyone wants an easy/bit weird naneinf attempt
When the game gives me good runs :<
Okay guys do you think I should just say screw it and do naneinf at ante 16? I THINK I have enough Cryptid for it
It’s a throwback run
3/5 chance of something good for this run
You got this
egg carry
Nice egg
Yeah with the temp value
Canio so ass
Naturally negative egg is great cuz free $50 with temperance
Also
Ghost naneinf achieved
Yeah I meant it when I said nice egg
5th unseeded naneinf, first not on Plasma
I've now accomplished everything I've wanted to accomplish except ante 39
Last big hump
That's what I'm trying to do but perkeo doesn't exist
This is my only naneinf from like 6+ months ago
I found a soul early but it was Canio and I decided to keep going for it
Found Perkeo in ante 10ish and was like OH HOLD ON
Only reason I did naneinf here was because I didn't have the reroll vouchers and the ante 16 boss was the shuffle one
should i hex hologram im only on ante 2 i only have the debit card joker
Wasn't dealing with that
i can js sell and hex it
What stake is this
Hex credit card
if i download cryptid before nan-e-inf ing do i get shot
Nah
okay now what about before 100%ing the game
I'm on mobile
are you using Cryptid to get completionist++
all challenges
no
Probably not
hell i dont even have a QoL mod
Brian, no, loyalty card is already getting the sticker.
TBH if you're good, you can do C++ in less than a month if you're going for it
I thought it was gonna take me 6 months, took me 3 weeks
I was like "........oh"
Same it was super easy
eternal red card 💔 💔 💔 so sorry
Once I realized just play on Red/Blue deck was the way to go it wasn't too bad
also where is your common polychrome you got shop 1 and kept the whole game
"Find Photochad and then do other jokers at the end"
im thinking i uh
whats it called
Why? It carried as it always does
hold on
Anaglyph?
actually when did you get it
I got 3 legendarys gold in 1 run so didn't have to worry about those
yeah
Anaglyph will on one occasion get you a bunch of jokers and then do nothing. HOWEVER Anagylph is the way to go to get the legendary jokers if you don't naturally find them beforehand
im going to KILL you
ante 2 maybe?
My last joker for C++ was Chicot
okay nvm good
Lol
Ironically, he made the run free cuz I was scoring enough points by ante 3 and he disabled all the bosses
eggbuckler was outpacing it for awhile, but it caught up
Canio getting killed
Here's the question, do I swap out egg for lusty for the sticker?
oh yeah i still need to do Jokerless ✋︎👎︎ 👌︎☜︎ ⚐︎😐︎✌︎✡︎ 🕈︎✋︎❄︎☟︎ ✋︎❄︎ 👌︎🕆︎❄︎ ✋︎ 🕈︎✌︎💧︎ ⚐︎☠︎ ✌︎ 💧︎❄︎☼︎✌︎✋︎☝︎☟︎❄︎ 👌︎🕆︎✋︎☹︎👎︎ ✌︎☠︎👎︎ ✌︎☠︎❄︎☜︎ 💧︎☜︎✞︎☜︎☠︎ ✋︎ 🕈︎✌︎💧︎❄︎☜︎👎︎ ✌︎☹︎☹︎ ⚐︎☞︎ 💣︎✡︎ 👎︎✋︎💧︎👍︎✌︎☼︎👎︎💧︎ ✌︎☠︎👎︎ 👎︎☼︎✌︎🕈︎💧︎ ⚐︎☠︎ ☝︎☜︎❄︎❄︎✋︎☠︎☝︎ ✌︎ 💧︎❄︎☼︎✌︎✋︎☝︎☟︎❄︎ ✌︎☠︎👎︎ ✋︎ 💧︎❄︎✋︎☹︎☹︎ 👎︎✋︎👎︎☠︎❄︎ ✋︎💣︎ 💧︎✌︎👎︎
i feel like red card is a decent one to pick up even as late as ante 3 if you're still treading water at that point, because it's easy to scale really fast if your econ is good
if youre clearing rounds by a ridiculous amount you could probably get away with it
as in the challenge run or vanilla jokerless?
but dont throw the game away just becaues you COULD get more
the challenge run
Mine was troubadour took me like 4 days after he was final one
i unlocked that today it only took me two tries. way easier than i thought it would be
Jokerless is fun
im going to MURDER you
what build did you use
I'm not, but I have no problem drawing straights, and I have 6 hands, so I can trigger loyalty card guaranteed
how is it easy to stack the deck
you get so many tarots
I got it in 3 tries with 4oak
idk i was just drowning in tarots
okay im just bad
you can probably stack for 4oak too if you go for that instead
can you at least TRY to pull your punches
does it count as jokerless if I put cards in the joker slots that aren't jokers?
no
Looks normal
they actually subconciously become jokers
i like straights because you can start playing immediately instead of needing to transition from a different hand
Cut the ends off your deck and you can draw straights consistently
very unhealthy thing to do to your cards
also if you're struggling on scoring you can grab a justice or a chariot to bail you out
because you're drowning in tarots
boss blind was vv and i played 4 glasses and held two steels to absolutely smash it
people who rely on straights for early scoring are insane
Straights are fun to play
that's why it took me two tries lol, the first run died to missing a straight draw in ante 2
early scoring...
you never see this screen and are happy about it
Saturn has good scaling
you only need like one saturn to tide you over to get money online
I wonder how much new content gonna be in the update
And straights are fairly easy to draw so
i hope none
i havent gotten C+ C++ yet
I did not know that if you nan inf and try to continue you can't
Skill issue
my philosophy, ante 1 whatever works works
yeah you like
Score also resets in top score
hold on i gotta search your profile to something to insult you about
DRAKE
there i found it
alphys wouldnt do that
yeah sorry thats more a noelle thing
shed kiss her wife
I had the opportunity to reach ante 39, yet I didn't
Damn
Nothing wrong with drake
queen is card 12 right
you laugh you go to ante 39
Im not doing that shit on mobile took my friend almost an entire week
there is NO way to consistently win jokerless and that makes me sad
Just get lucky
Jokerless is the easiest hard challenge
Photochad carry
mommy, why is that joker shaking?
quickly
Loyalty card down, and I found a crazy joker without a sticker to fit the theme as well
do i copy dusk or ancient
ancient
2x2 vs 1x3
oh you have seltzer so even more reason to copy ancient
3x2 vs 4x1
put the glass card last
Should I go for naneinf again?
Bloodstone is goated
i intend on scaring them
ducks
you gon put them to sleep with an endless screenshot
imo not really for most runs, it’s good if you’re building a hand with flush in the name and just so happen to be using hearts
is that not true of like. every joker that's good
it's good if you fulfill its conditions
the conditions are get oops and play flushes, that's pretty poopy
every joker except 8 ball superposition and loyalty card
at least ancient joker has better conditions
you can run bloodstone without oops
My current run is also bloodstone
for a flush joker.
at least ancient joker doesn’t rely on rng
i love bloodstone but it hates me oh so much
> doesn't rely on rng
> looks inside
> random suit unweighted
i do love bloodstone because it’s fun in endless
so true
dies to rng
wild or smth i guess ancient joker was a bad example
aj requures you to read boss blinds
so hard right
impossible condition truly
balatro players can’t read
I always forget
the tech is lookingat AJ's suit and skipping so you don't get AJ disabled
the rng in this case is dying to blue stake because you couldnt draw the flush not the bosses
but balatro players can't read 
pair sweep
pairs are good i’ve been told
youre not wrong me not forgetting to read the boss blind ahead of time and then dying stupidly
yeah i do that all the time
Pairs are great hc is better
the duality of man
no
hc is good pairs are better
Gold stake pairs feel more reliable
we need a lebron james meme for AJ blunder lol
or accidentally setting the wrong hand on the one hand type boss
truly a balatro moment
dna or sixth sense when i run into the mouth
Lebron James caught autopiloting on an AJ run!!!
dna + the mouth is a horrible evil awful trick
not as bad as card sharp and the eye
Ok hot take yall are psychos for doing c++
many a run has been lost there
yerp and then no discard boss when i finally find trading card
Then why hc higher
you have to play more high cards for them to be good
it is a hot take because it has been a fun and enriching experience
have you heard of different people having preferences
pair better
No shot you guys really think I'm serious 😂
c++ will never happen for me
what am i the ragebait police
now c+ is possible
Dont u just like get money and roll until u get a random joker before boss
and what im going for
Hope its a random card and win
we thought you were serious because it wouldve been bad ragebait
It's actually really easy
no i believed you, high card is not a bad build
this is a civil conversation
I mean sometimes, a lot of jokers are usable though so
its actually really time consuming and not worth the effort
Only took me like 2 and a half weeks
i’m not doing c++ ever i hope but i’d want to get c+
im also not very good at the game
Photochad
it takes me 2 and half weeks to beat one gold stake
It's like having a goal while you play, it doesn't consume time because you're doing side quests
I finished c+ not long ago it felt really rewarding
same except i only try it twice every few days because anger
yeah now that makes sense for me
C++ is like, mad crazy
I prefer hc over pairs but they are definitely worse I just like scaling stuff like grimbo and square on gold stake
I mean, try it
c++ is just a needless grind for the sake of doing it
What about Throwback?
for cool points
i mean me too but pairs also do that
Honestly mb if im really bored, trying to unseeded naneinf before
Throwback is what you use with Anaglyph Deck
Maybe after
if you can't get at least 2 stickers on some gs runs you might need to learn more
skip for investment tags
I've probably only played like 1k pairs ever while I somehow have 13k hc
high card usually gets played when you’re trying to draw the cards to play a better hand, to be fair
Not so sure about getting 0.25x mult each few antes
Also sometimes you just get random negatives
True but like the tech would prolly be blue/orange deck 90% of the time and some specific decks for specific cards
True but it could also mostly be from my naneinf attempts
not even negative tbh
Spam money and roll get stickers do it again
yeah that as well
i kept jimbo around for like 7 antes because he was polychrome
I cant see it as really fun
i sold him for a poly even steven
just remember, you can win with less jokers
gay jimbo
therefore less jokers in your slots = more sticker room
actually heres a funny anaglyph deck run where i took a polychrome skip
Should I c++ a second time before going for naneinf again
Pair gaming for most cards I assume
top tip: sell your econ jokers after the ante 8 big blind
pretty much
gay people
rocket over 8 ball here though
i had hanging chad before this and 8ball actually did something
aim for high mult scaling on everything
baseball card my beloved
based
And you can use Anaglyph deck with negative tags to get gold stickers in a bunch of jokers quite fast
8 ball is goated
chat whats your least favorite rare
like a fat ass red card by ante 8, past 70
Oh true ig
personally for me its the tribe
yes it only took oops and chad and playing 3 other 8s for it to trigger once or twice
Hit the road is useless but kinda fun, duo is prolly the most boring
baron. it’s never good for what i’m building
Same tbh I almost never have a reason to use it
i had one good baron run on painted and it died to the plant ante 12
i love hit the road but i never find enough deckbuilding to use it well
hit the road is an incredibly fun joker to use
oh yeah hot take or smth
Banana and stencil somehow here still
Its shit but its fun, objectively i think
hit the road is also not actually that good in terms of rares
stuntman and smiley face are in my top 10 idk why
Its shit for a rare 100%
it COULD be really good
Would be way better if it wasn't for the blue stake
My banana never busts so it's gonna be there forever
blue stake rework save us
Maybe tribe is even more niche ig
but you need a lot of jacks or a discard-increasing joker like merry andrew
Tribe is easy to trigger because it's the same condition as a common it just sucks
Yeah rip 5 card builds as a whole too, except straights ig
the duo is strictly better
cold take all the typehand xmult rares suck at being rare
Duo is really good just boring
i think the tribe should be x2.5, better than the duo and worse than the order
I like using multiple like duo and trio together
I just dont use it enough to judge it probably
Is winning boring?
yeah it can be
i like using the duo and the tribe and the order at oncd
Yeah
have you played cryptid because that describes it perfectly
At some point i think it can become boring
Aka when it barely feels like a challenge
Anymore
the game has to have some challenge to it
Cryptid is completely different to winning
Ever since ive c+ i just try to be more consistent with gold stakes win, do funny builds and try naneinf, whats the point of sweating
not the spectral the mod
the spectral's fine
I know ._.
oh youre just wrong then
I play on phone
Phone gang
me too, i also play on pc if i want mods
No the mod is literally just crazy shit thrown together and is completely unbalanced on purpose
i frankly don’t trust it
we're not allowed to talk about it here but yes
I've done some research, I don't even want to try that
Aaah
that being said i have used it its trustworthy
Yeah its not rly legit
correct
also the only mod i have is pokermon, but as a completely unbiased pokemon fan it’s definitely easier but not broken
which means it doesn’t get boring!
That changes everything how can you say that's the same
not yet at least
it's completely unbalanced to the point where winning is boring
what's different
i’m sure cryptid at least has some funny builds though
Yeah but how does that relate to vanilla winning getting boring when cryptid was never fun in the first place
Once you get to c+ you will start to think that c++ is possible
simile
i know its possible its just not worth it for me
and i feel like cryptid is a lot more about how far you can break the game anyway
someone asked if winning could be boring this is proof that it could
based take that cryptid was never fun though
never fun is a stretch
I only played for around 2 hours and was scoring e200+ by ante 4 that isn't really fun
Yeah to me it just feels like a filler accomplishment so I get you
Maybe it's just a me thing I don't like unbalanced games I like a good challenge
maybe once ive done everything else there is to do in the game then maybe
but no time soon and by then i assume we'll have new updates
We think alike for this
did yall struggle with unlocking jokers for completionist
not really struggle
No they were all pretty simple
but go out of my way for yeah
golden ticket was awful for me
Try naneninf after c+ its fun and so different then chasing gold stakes
What was unlock?
i almost had naneinf day before yesterday
i threw at the last minute
play a hand containing five gold cards
and they all have to score
😭
Forgot to reroll the boss
i was stupid and copied the mimes instead and lost on a shit ton of scoring
and lost by like 1e
i was furious
That was easy just used the joker that changes faces into gold
Fat rip brother
i am. maybe stupid
also it was without perkeo too
Its fun af
i was lucky enough to get a negative blueprint early and was soaring
If u want the seed for the one I almost got its really fun and doable
I got it with perkeo but still took me a couple weeks since I was using ghost deck for most of the time
i was also on ghost deck
I have a baron and what do I keep doing? I keep using my kings. Why is my brain wired incorrectly.
I finally switched to plasma and got it in like 5 runs
nah im alright i want to do it unseeded ive already gotten naneinf on a seeded run
its less rewarding
Ah okay
i still had to work for it and play really well but its just not the same...
Yeah ig, was proposing cause u dont know the seed its just doable
It took me a month to find perkeo. I played anaglyph deck over and over and over on white stake, taking mega arcana skips after ante 8. Very rarely would I ever find souls and they always had legendaries I already had.
Eventually I gave up and started playing gold stake and got it in a couple days.
This wouldn't stop happening on ghost no perkeo=no naneinf
Wait nvm I forgot took me like 52 legendarys too find first trib
Depends
can't take your pc on the train
I prefer on phone because I mostly play in bed
(phone gang)
For those of you who’ve gotten gold on all 150 jokers, what were the hardest ones to get gold with?
I want to do this again but it's 100% rng
I would say legendarys but I got 3 in one run took me 3 weeks for troubadour tho at 149
how
pc id say
explain
It's a bug with crimson heart and bean
oh ok
I don't remember how it works last time I did it was 6+ months ago
You also need abunch of hands so you also need burglar and blueprints
how long does the bug last for
lol so they’ve known about a bug for 6 months but never fixed it?
It's for the run
could you theoretically
Yeah it's very hard too do anyways so doesn't really matter
do the bug and then get a baron mime build going
Yeah most handsize I had was like 52 but couldn't find any of the jokers needed
surely there’s gotta be a seed for that…
there are certainly
hear me out
steam deck
you can have modded balala on the go
Yeah definitely
i would say its the easiest way to a39, since you dont need an early legendary
you can apparently get modded balala on mobile without steam deck
Not allowed to talk about that here
sorry, i saw it mentioned earlier and assumed it was ok
Yeah it's in the rules
It's a easy bug to do but you need alot of money and need crimson heart boss specifically
It's all down too rng
why do you need a lot of money?
You need bean at full handsize
yeah it wouldn’t be consistent in naneinf runs, but neither is perkeo
Pretty much how it works is bean gets disabled you lose 5 handsize and when it gets activated again you get +5 instead for the rest of the run
And it stacks
It's easier then finding perkeo most times
so the more times you disable it the more handsize you get which is why you need burglar i get it now
Yeah you could watch a video on it
It's super simple just luck based
hey i did that today
My second Gold Stake win ever, on Zodiac Deck! I really should not have taken a Ouija because it almost fucked me over
Why so blue
>looks inside
how do you feel about 
Is the abandoned deck i have only 1 king
I love zodiac
chat i'm stuck on gold stake how do i beat ogld steak the furthest i got was ante 7 :((
Very confident
Be patient
lock in i guess
Get better at the game and im not joking or trying to be rude
You can do it
which deck you doing it on
it usually takes a while to beat gold stake, at least in my experience
I'm gonna try bean bug ig I'm bored of current run
does anyone have a bean bug seed i wanna do goofy stuff with it
im gonna go beat gold stake bye now
You also need stuntman so you don't just lose
i love stuntman, it prevents me from losing a lot
currently red deck
Bro I can't take a picture of myself without
fucking it up
It's needed for bean bug aswell
wouldnt it be more luck cuz balator is gambling
ehh with the extra discard might as well run 2p or straights
hop off flushes if you havent alrd
No I've got over 1k hours It's not luck but luck can get you pretty far
well ig if you do mean more skill ig what would work is better decisions, like i've been able to accumulate alot more money but i just always end up never getting any good stuff
am i not greedy enough and didnt reroll enough or
Anything can work if you know what you are doing
true
Besides hit the road that joker is ass
but a rule of thumb is always like, get some mult cards, chip cards, and scaling jokers
what if you have a million gazillion jacks. .
You could always just get photochad it can carry almost any run lol
true
I mean ig it works then
What are your least favorite jokers atm
That you think are bad
obelisk
Oh Obelisk
yea
Obelisk is very very strong
i'm assuming
by switching your main hand?
like you have a main hand late in the game then when you get it you sell everything that affects the previous hand and make a new hand>
?
No you dump abunch of hands into a specific one then switch
uh yea
I lost
that's the problem
Like play 30 pairs early then switch too something else
Nah
Shouldnt go to photochad
the problem with obelish imo
is that if you do that
yyou'd basically giving yourself a timer
like if you dont put in enough hands to your "most played hand" you're screwed
yes, but once you realize that timer only needs to be 10-15 hands long it seems a lot more reasonable
Skip blinds
but-but
Plus remember that diminishing returns exist
Skipping Blinds. . is for BALATROS!
Possibly the worst shop 1 ever?
Like for loyalty card or preventing ancient joker debuffs on wrong suit
You can skip if needed
But but. .
Or perishables
big balatro youtubers. .
I guess BP could be rental perishable
skippping blinds is evil. .
Even they skip blinds WHEN its the right situation
RIGHT SITUATION is the keyword
Its not an always thing
You need to know when to do it
if you need to skip with obelisk you are playing it wrong, though in a pinch on ante 8...maybe
Skipping is sometimes needed
$5 is $5... or keep it for a while
Its a very strategic play
True I've never needed too skip with it
one of the main reasons for orange stake rework to add perishables imo was to get people to skip more
If u stack obelisk to like 4-5x then you are pretty much set
What even is your most played hand
I cant buy invisible joker someone have a 1$?
and sometimes it accomplishes exactly that: it is at times correct to skip to preserve perishable jokers
obelisk is kind of a perishable joker
Either hc or pair
Like if i find a bean at like ante 6 or 7 i skip all the way to the boss if i can really use that hand size like if i have a bunch of steel or really want to dig hard into the deck for glass
Yeah, rental def would be worse.
This is abando deck though, not sure I can survive with no functional joker. I was gonna take the round two investment tag too...
Not always but sometimes
Most of the time you should be playing out all your rounds
dig hard like digging into yo butt hehe
I bought a banana because i couldnt buy the invisible, just one round and Michelle is gone
i was hungry :(
Yours dies?
Stencil
Only when i dont want him to die
I feel like stencil is probably one of my least used jokers
I just bought one round one and it popped immediately. No jokers in shop after that
chat how much mult additions do you draw the line between "good" and "amazing"
like is +15 mult considered amazing enough to keep late into the game?
Depends on your xmult and hand levels
Photochad is easy carry when trying to go for naneinf
Im almost new But my 5 first jokers here are Chad photo scholar blueprint and gros michel
no, but it is considered good enough to keep if you dont find anything better
generally
I hate Scholar
why
It's a bad joker and I never use aces anyways
which joker is the gassiest
It definitely is
survive early game
That doesn't make it good
and its better compared to most other option on that category
Scholar is fine
Almost any joker can survive early
It's not a joker you keep for that long
not baron
even tho its THE endless joker of all time
eternal rental negative cloud 9 !?
Nobody mentioned baron
I've won once with scholar as my only source of flat mult
On uhhh orange stake I think
Same that's how I got its gold sticker
Literally free, just stack 9s
"almost any joker" can mean anything
It's value
So what's your gripe with scholar then I don't get it
im just giving one example about joker thats amazing at late game but horrible at early
Well
Baron actually works pretty good with shoot the moon
Even if its early
But like
It's bad but good enough to give you enough flat mult to win if needed
That hinges on another joker
thats with synergy, doesnt really fit in
Why would you mention baron which almost everyone knows isn't used that much for non endless because it's unreliable
Campfire is goated tho
But i had pretty good runs where i start off with shoot the moon, and then build up a bunch of queens and eventually get a baron for a few kings without leveling base hand that much
because not every joker is good early game and i gave one example?
It's only really useful at Antes 1-4
I need help photo cant leave me alone
He was on the shop But i dont want him because im playing abandoned deck, i Skip with the 2 common jokers tag and now he is here
yeah thats how youre supposed to use it
Pareidolia, standard pack, or strength the 10s to jacks
Early seltzer is op wdym
Ehh
Without much enchancements early seltzer is just chips?
Yeah and baron is only really good at ante 7-39
i have no idea what are you trying to say about scholar if you are aware of that
Seltzer feels more like a late game joker when u already built up a bunch of glass/lucky
jimbo is bad because its only viable ante 1-3
Scholar is still bad its good really early and that's it
Only ante 1 tbh
Scholars also only 1 rank which is kinda stinky
Cuz what if you don't find the ace
same can be said about all 4 suit mult joker, mult hand type joker, chips hand type joker, popcorn, ice cream and many more
Scholar needs a small buff
there should probably be more jokers like Walkie Talkie and Scholar
Fibonacci covers a whole archetype, unless u mean chips+mult
Yeah they are also commons and are indeed bad overall
yeah chips and mult at once
Btw like
Grimbo and square the best duo in the game
Who builds fibonacci for 8s unless u also have 8 ball
grimbo bad its only viable ante 1-5
I forgot it works on 8s I use it for 1-5 straights
Wdym grimbo bad wadda hell
square bad it can only survive ante 1-3
Bad player spotted
grimbo is only viable ante 1-8
Its one of the scaling jokers u can bring to ante 8
which is to say it's always viable
Grimbo is ante 1-8
ok was the sarcasm not clear enough my bad
yes but alone it can only survive taht far
But yeah square is ehh unless u can also scale up something alongside it for double value
Your not gonna have it only so invalid
Penny Joker: +1 Chip 
luckiest run i've ever had
you also can build retrigger, glass, x mult scaling with scholar also
True but square and grimbo is a fun combo
the question is do i sell the trib to gold sticker showman or popcorn?
Eternal investment joker, but no money for interest
You can do that with photochad aswell and most jokers that do the same thing
I just gotta do my victory lap to pop C++
if you can survive without trib then yea
my ante 7 boss was the ox. I had 63 gold before that
ok but did you say chad or photo is bad
Ooh dang
got a run with this on gold stake and ended with 3 new gold stickers, still got a long way to go
photo is bad alone but it can be strong with synergy
i have glass so i can survive without trib. My question is should i take popcorn or showman lol
idk which one is harder to gold sticker
imo showman
And the fact that if works with other mult on card jokers like lusty
Just put all the mult before the face
Probably Popcorn because it requires timing to carry beyond the finisher blind
ok whatever im still mad about dude saying scholar bad lmao
but showan doesnt contribute
Why would I say that they are the strongest commons
no you're right, i can carry showman if my other 4 jokers are strong enough. But i cant carry popcorn to the end
