[real crown]

common* lucky cat w
(*yeah i know it’s an uncommon joker shh)

great job :)

[late topaz]

Hanging chad really help me farm that lucky card to scale the cat

[real crown]

yeah it’s a nice synergy. i love lucky cat, probably my personal favorite joker

[late topaz]

time to gold stake plasma deck, its going to be absolute hell cuz the score requirements increase like crazy

[jolly locust]

guys i’ve just won with every deck in gold stake but the trophy on ps5 didnt pop up

is there something i’m missing?

[late topaz]

Jimbo being a prick

[jolly locust]

after 160hrs i’m kinda sad about that

[real crown]

idk if ps5’s programmed like the pc version but for me the achievement/trophy popped at the end of the following run??

[jolly locust]

lost one run, nothing happened

[real crown]

that’s goofy. sorry that’s happening. maybe ask #1200105253559873707 or see if it’s addressed there

[jolly locust]

okey they said i’ve got to win one more run random any stake

not bad since i need only 1 more sticker for c++

[real crown]

aight cool. that tracks. gl on c++!

[jolly locust]

thanks, i just need to win with 1$ x dismond card, the only issue is find it

[pale wolf]

victory lap glitch

[sand oak]

keep red card or go for photo?

[pale wolf]

looks like you already got it figured though

[pale wolf]

this looks so bad 😭

its ur hand levels that determine this

[pale wolf]

if theyre above 7 mult then its worth

well, actually like 13

[valid abyss]

who even had the idea for dark mode balatro

i want to kill them with hammers

[sand oak]

why? its the best thing ever

[valid abyss]

its so bad i dont know how people like it

like you do you

just my opinion

but imo i cant stand it

[sand oak]

its so LOVEBALE (keep in mind i have EVERYTHING dark mode so i am bias)

[manic talon]

why isnt the enhanced card on dark mode too

atleast like the mult and bonus cards

[half folio]

I was wrong about grimbo and yellow deck

Easiest gold stake ever

Grimbo did nothing tho

[orchid comet]

hello

I'm on ante 7 sitting with drainage, photo, smiley and an unfixed deck cuz I invested too much into luck

and chad

[orchid comet]

I still haven't got it

[orchid comet]

gros michel went extinct ante 2 where tf is cavendish

isn't it supposed to be common

[acoustic kettle]

I love drainage joker

[orchid comet]

me too

carrying my run rn

[valid abyss]

whats a drainage joker

and whys it carrying your run

[twin lantern]

hi chat

[twin lantern]

yorick 🗣️🗣️🔥

[twin lantern]

maybe jokers that rely on some value being high? I'm not sure

never heard the term

maybe they're referring to bull cus if your money "drains" then bull's chips also "drain".

[warped moth]

You love to see it

[manic talon]

Why are you playing balatro in portrait mode lmao

[valid abyss]

"The Triple Triboulet Dream" - Roffle Lite, 4 months ago or something

[unreal iron]

dude turns his head around 90°

dedication honestly

it could just be a mobile screenshot maybe

[valid abyss]

they're mobile screenshots

the thin-ish font gives it away

[surreal glen]

This run is not seeded its unseeded run , it's luckk

[valid abyss]

man i love that $1 at end of round

[manic talon]

Its either 1 dollar or 0 dollar

[valid abyss]

?
+4-3 = $1

[shell seal]

• interest

[manic talon]

You can lose interest

[shell seal]

less interest

[valid abyss]

oh okay

fair enough

$1 must be worth it though

such a large sum of money

[manic talon]

I mean, it doesnt hurt if you have the slot

Its like having splash

Midly useful

[valid abyss]

its funny but im not taking it lmao

[tardy spade]

is there a reason hermit cannot double your debt?

[mortal nimbus]

probably the same reason stencil and bootstraps round to 1x and +0 (not sure on the reason, just that those are probably for the same reason)

[tardy spade]

stencil and bootstraps are probably because jokers cannot directly remove chips and mult from you

[mortal nimbus]

probably an edge case that wasn't correctly accounted for (Credit card was the only way to accrue debt when Boots and hermit were added) and there are only 3 cases where stencil goes negative (2 of which being the result of 'glitches', and the other being restricted to a challenge)

[orchid comet]

its a construction worker

[tardy spade]

what are the 2 glitches causing a negative stencil?
I know selling negative invis, what's the other

[mortal nimbus]

weird interaction with dagger/madness and riff raff

I always forget the exact order of events but you can get 6/5 from this

[cobalt remnant]

ante 6 obelisk btw

[mortal nimbus]

average Obelisk win

[cobalt remnant]

He's just that good folks

[unreal elbow]

ante 1 goatism

[lunar zealot]

emperor just gave me death into fool

[sweet girder]

another seeded unseeded run

[manic talon]

all these hikers and it still doesnt do anything to the card when you play it for the first time

[sweet girder]

lmao i got misprint with 3 polychrome hikers

[shrewd bluff]

I finally got completionist+

[queen kindle]

burglar's like actually goated wtf

[lunar zealot]

literally the single fucking easiest amber acorn i've ever had in my entire life

i hold bus so it's always to the left

square has a unique shape

campfire gives itself away the moment i sell anything

and i can find blueprint because it's the only non eternal

genuinely the worst amber acorn of all time

[timber wharf]

i shall never doubt the power of wee joker ever again

i was on the final ante and blind

and sold it for a different joker

and went from 50k per hand

to 10 😭

[blissful shard]

me when having 500 chips is more than 100

[manic talon]

why would you sell a scaling joker you've been scaling for the whole ante

a good scaling joker, even

[timber wharf]

lowk

dont know

i thought i was being smart

apparently not

[naive jolt]

Never punished

[violet bear]

Holy negative stuntgoat

[timber wharf]

i need this

i want my runs too look like this

[last cradle]

I have a question for the experts about my current run.
I kinda play a lot of face cards and get straight, flushes and full houses due to my jokers

i got this as a card in shop

what i have is these

any suggestions on what to pick

kinda put all my focus on face cards

ace-10

thinking to replace this

with this

should i do it?

would give me more chips in the calculations

and maybe even money

if they are gold cards

yea i will do it

and reorder my jokers

[signal frigate]

Keep playing

You'll get one eventually

[last cradle]

re trigger the re trigger

[signal frigate]

My man posted a whole presentation, the fuck

[last cradle]

I was asking for advice

is that bad?

[signal frigate]

Nah, just found it funny

That's alot of stuff you sent

[signal frigate]

I suggest going full flush five

Find Idol and go hard deckfix for it

If you wanna get DEEP into endless

[last cradle]

I am currently kinda only getting to win

once in a while

new to the game

[signal frigate]

Idol picks one card in your deck so if you only have that singular type of card, you'll score really high

[signal frigate]

Well then, try getting an Xmult

[signal frigate]

Not so bad

[manic talon]

sock doesnt really do much with your current deck, since you have not an actual good target of retrigger, best card here is just the lucky cards, you've no glass or polychrome

honestly just keep playing straights and get saturn with your blue seal and youll be fine

[last cradle]

level 16 straight

lost it anyway

couldn't even get straight with 4 cards on the boss, my first hand drawn was facedown and apparently i threw away most

and then i had a gap of queens

I had 10, j, k and A

🙁

[knotty wraith]

i just thought of something
if idol isn’t capable of selecting stone cards, what happens if your entire deck is made of stones

[mortal nimbus]

Ace of Spades

[last cradle]

game crashes

idk

[knotty wraith]

it just defaults to ace of spades?

[mortal nimbus]

yeah

Ace is the default rank, Spade is the default suit

[last cradle]

suit racist

jk

[knotty wraith]

that’s kinda boring actually

[mortal nimbus]

this applies to Jokers like Castle and Rebate as well

[terse vale]

JOLLY UUUUPPPPP

[manic talon]

this game already breaks in so many ways you dont need more

[terse vale]

ooh I thought 10s were the default

[last cradle]

my deck was all about using straight to get the win and i could even use 4 cards to make them and i get this.

[mortal nimbus]

that bugged seed looks at a different section of code

if that's what you're thinking of

[manic talon]

the 10 of spades seed is a different thing entirely

[terse vale]

I wus thinking of that but I think idol defaults to 10 of spades if there’s all stone cards in the deck

[mortal nimbus]

it doesn't

[last cradle]

My reaction

[mortal nimbus]

Ace of Spades is the result

[terse vale]

I must have misremembered oops

[lament crater]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1432011992310480938/1433997361545347092/A3291C1C-962E-4C5B-B33C-7B044940B1D3.png?ex=6906b99d&is=6905681d&hm=6ae60fa47c229ea9d9281ad7590800bfb1d78d81c7d28ab5bb1356f253f76618&

very close win

[last cradle]

"you win"

[floral mural]

i think 10 of spades is a result of how erratic code works rather than a game default

[lament crater]

canio carried kinda

[last cradle]

oh you mean that round

I was off by 2 points yesterday off a boss round

[lament crater]

i had multiple times where i hit the blind spot on

not a point more not a point less

[last cradle]

you must feeel relief then

cutting it a bit close

one smaller question, i picked the deck with $10, is it better to usually get some money with interest until you feel like you need to upgrade to snowball money or just buy planet cards right away

i have $14

[mortal nimbus]

<@&1133519078540185692>

both ways are valid in their own way, on one hand, you benefit even more from just scraping by, buying just what you need is fine

or you can buy more stuff to guarantee you can cruise for the first few antes, worrying about econ over a few more rounds

which one you do is usually decided by what you get shown in the shops

[lone sonnet]

I buy a scoring joker that’ll carry me for an ante or two and then I save for interest. Benefits me more in the long run.

At least, that’s what I’ve found.

[last cradle]

i did get this to help me with the start

pretty solid joker to start

[zinc karma]

Pray for me

[last cradle]

💀

[manic talon]

is your planet level so bad that you need the card chips

[zinc karma]

🤫

[quartz ember]

ok well that seems not too bad

[zinc karma]

+4 gs jokers for the collection

[manic talon]

oh the hologram is even foiled

[zinc karma]

Ye

[manic talon]

literally nothing to worry about

[zinc karma]

But it was 2.25

[crystal kiln]

doable?

[zinc karma]

How much is your pants and supernova?

[crystal kiln]

idk about supernova but pants is +34 mult

[zinc karma]

2 pair lvl?

[crystal kiln]

2 pair is lvl 4

[zinc karma]

Ye

[crystal kiln]

played 11 times

[zinc karma]

Your probably not winning

[crystal kiln]

say that again

[zinc karma]

U dont have xmult

Your +mult are low as hell

[crystal kiln]

[last cradle]

will the left joker copy the holographic part too?

[manic talon]

no

[zinc karma]

No

[cloud sinew]

No xmult, round 12...
I see the problem here

[last cradle]

Dam

[crystal kiln]

where x mult

[cloud sinew]

In the 11 shops you skipped

[crystal kiln]

so not doable?

[cloud sinew]

Probably not

[last cradle]

Gl

[crystal kiln]

thanks

I think I’ll need it

[brisk sandal]

💸 💸 💸

[manic talon]

most likely not doable, i dont even think you can get 100K that reliably

[floral mural]

shops and end of round cash and interest are your way to see the most options. by skipping this aggressively youre seeing less options which makes the gamer much harder

[last cradle]

Payday

[crystal kiln]

I tried

[floral mural]

in order to mitigate randomness being your death you need to see more options and have more money. skipping gives neither

[floral mural]

skip for investment ante 1 and thats it for skips you should generally take

[acoustic kettle]

Not even close

[last cradle]

Better luck next time

[manic talon]

how do you get that high, best i can do with sans is like 2K

[crystal kiln]

[last cradle]

Game taunts me with straight and flushes

[lunar zealot]

Isn't it tied to framerate

[manic talon]

if it makes you feel better, any boss wouldve done the same

so youre telling me my PC is like 10 times worse

[hushed silo]

Full house of (modified) kings and Queens and i pull this off. I got the achievement and STUNTMAN

[barren wigeon]

what's the achievement

[hushed silo]

100,000k

[barren wigeon]

10000k?

ah

[manic talon]

100 mil

[barren wigeon]

I have 2 jokers left to unlock

one of them is bad

the other is cool

i gotta unlock satellite and perkeo

[brisk sandal]

the rocket value? SUAS is definitely very system performance dependent, and i literally waited like 5 days for the game running at 2fps for it to get to ante 18k lol

[manic talon]

5 days? lmao

mine usually just goes for 30 minutes to an hour tops

[brisk sandal]

0.5x game speed and uncapping framerate (for at least as long as it's not running at 2fps) helps from my experience

on my system uncapped fps when i start SUAS is like 500-700

[twin lantern]

you cannot naninf on this seed jhdggwb

trust me

[barren wigeon]

ok

i trust you

[twin lantern]

I made it hp

up

flush house on round three :(

[gloomy swallow]

NAT NEGATIVE BANANA ANTE 1 ROUND ONE

CASUAL RUN

DA FUQ

[orchid comet]

thats wild

[violet bear]

That nanner looks like it’ll die round 2

[gloomy swallow]

Round 4 actuakly

[violet bear]

Close enough

[gloomy swallow]

You fucking jinxed it

[violet bear]

Cavendish time

[gloomy swallow]

We'll see

[past nebula]

so close

[gloomy swallow]

Aaaand I died

[twin lantern]

skill issue

[orchid comet]

so sad

[gloomy swallow]

Posted the seed

[orchid comet]

wait how'd u die with banana at 1300

[gloomy swallow]

It died round 4

[orchid comet]

oh

that sucks

[gloomy swallow]

I know

Michel moment

I didn't mean to make a thread

How didi do that accidentally

[last cradle]

yay

[last cradle]

i am at cultured at my balatro phase

[orchid comet]

"buy a total of 20 playing cards from shop" is it worth getting?

whatever joker that unlocks

[orchid comet]

W

[terse dock]

It unlocks a bugged voucher

Worth for C

[orchid comet]

oo a voucher

[obsidian patrol]

how is it bugged

[terse dock]

Seals cant spawn from it

[obsidian patrol]

Ah

[orchid comet]

is it like x2 more playing cards in shop

I would never buy that

[obsidian patrol]

No

[orchid comet]

nice

[obsidian patrol]

Makes enhanced cards be able to appear in shop

[orchid comet]

I see

[obsidian patrol]

my opinion on magic trick has gone from never take to take most of the time

[formal abyss]

does blackhole scale const?

[obsidian patrol]

No

[formal abyss]

thats so lamee

[formal abyss]

other than holo why?

[obsidian patrol]

not that intrusive

so i can clear the voucher

and it can be good sometimes

im not gonna take it like ante 1 but if i have money for i most of the time will

[vocal rose]

clearing vouches basically does nothing for you in regular ante 8 runs

it’s very intrusive

[obsidian patrol]

i disagree

[vocal rose]

it’s not something that’s disagreeable it quite literally hinders your shop

[obsidian patrol]

Yes but not by much

[vocal rose]

no it’s by a noticeable margin

[obsidian patrol]

not really

[last cradle]

giant straight

[vocal rose]

I don’t know the specific math for it but it’s still a hinderance

[obsidian patrol]

Okay

[last cradle]

Longest run so far

🙂

[terse dock]

Playing cards are weighted 2; assuming you have no other shop vouchers it becomes 2-4-4-20 or a 1/15 per shop slot to see a playing card

[barren wigeon]

shiny perkeo

[turbid reef]

Objectively speaking magic trick is a voucher that allows playing cards to appear in the shop

[barren wigeon]

now you need observatory

[turbid reef]

And costs 10 dollars

[turbid reef]

I tried to get a naneinf run

Didn’t go very well

[barren wigeon]

unless you have that one voucher

[vocal rose]

I thought the weight was 4 for magic trick

[turbid reef]

Congrats

Get naneinf now

[last cradle]

Thanks, I am trying to get a NaNinf

[barren wigeon]

i have never gotten a naneinf

highest I've gotten was like 60 billion

[turbid reef]

I’ve got naninf once

[barren wigeon]

probably could've gotten higher if idol didnt suck

[terse dock]

I think its 2 because the spectral chance on ghost deck is the same

[obsidian patrol]

farthest ive gone was like e108

[random ice]

Normal Campfire W

[turbid reef]

My highest non naneinf hand is e49

[random ice]

I had bootleg Photochad with Dusk and Red Seal queen as a backup

Lmao

[vocal rose]

it says it here but idk if it’s accurate or not

[terse dock]

It's the wiki so it probably is

So it's 4-4-4-20 which means its a 1/8 per shop slot

[vocal rose]

so just base value with no weights the joker per roll is 3.6

if im mental mathing right

any voucher brings that to 3.2 or 3.1

roughly a 9% decrease in joker probability

idfc that seems right and seems like a noticeable difference

@cloud sinew tell me if i’m right or make fun of me if im wrong

[indigo reef]

I wish this game had replay functionality and a list of seeds you last played

[lunar zealot]

Ayooo

[last cradle]

would be cool

[lunar zealot]

i love how my highest winstreak is literally 2 😭

[last cradle]

I am recording my game most of the time

[lunar zealot]

genuinely fuckin hilarious why do i even still play this game

[orchid comet]

hello peoples

do I get sock? What do I replace? Drainage is at 24 or something and constellation at 4x

I only have the talkie walkie cuz it's negative

[ashen mauve]

For fun white stake run. Want to add the certificate for memes to scale the hologram cause why not.
What the best to sell out of

[ashen mauve]

Ante 10 ditch the face

[obsidian patrol]

erosion

[ashen mauve]

Oh yeah I completely glossed the erosion lol.

[orchid comet]

oh it's called erosion

but it could scale more later I haven't cleared my deck enough yet

[obsidian patrol]

it doesnt matter really

since it activates after photochad

[orchid comet]

hmm ok

what's the best way to earn $400

I can't seem to

do it right

[obsidian patrol]

save money

you can get a golden ticket here

that would be a lot

[orchid comet]

either it turns into a run like this or I die early cuz of too many econ jokers

[obsidian patrol]

too many econ jokers is not a thing

you can never have too many econ jokers

[orchid comet]

u can die to have too little mult jokers

[ashen mauve]

I mean you’re nearing the end of that run anyway. That build probably doesn’t scale too hard into 11 and 12

[obsidian patrol]

Yeah

you're dead ante 12 for sure

[deft marten]

first shop lets go

[manic talon]

golden ticket retrigger, or anaglyph deck + handy skip

[vestal fern]

shot dead in ante 6

[deft marten]

damn

[orchid comet]

I don't have anaglyph

[unreal iron]

was invisible sticker more worth it than fortune teller?

[deft marten]

yeah

[orchid comet]

I havent yet tried to beat black stake (was it black stake with the eternal jokers?)

[manic talon]

of course it is

[orchid comet]

try ur best to fix ur deck

[manic talon]

invis is a rare and does nothing in your run

its the double whammy

[deft marten]

yeah I like to be silly on white stake anaglyph, always take the negative joker skips 🤑
with my luck I'll get a negative perkeo and a nat negative death/hanged man 😎

[deft marten]

alright bro

[unreal iron]

why are your tarots so blue...

[barren wigeon]

negative priestess

the day balatro adds data transfer is the day I get balatro for my laptop

[valid berry]

i think plasma deck is fun and has no problems

[floral mural]

purple stake violet vessel in question

[barren wigeon]

the humble vessel

[orchid comet]

tarots can be negative naturally...?

[obsidian patrol]

no

thats a visual mod

[marsh compass]

Just completed Magic Deck Gold Stake it wasn’t that bad

[orchid comet]

nice

[marsh compass]

Anyone have suggestions with Nebula deck?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[random ice]

Fullskipped after getting Campfire ante 6

[lyric nexus]

God I love oops, 4 money hits in 8 triggers

Dusk is better than the family right now isn’t it

Cause constellation is 3x1.5

[obsidian patrol]

yeah

[lyric nexus]

Sweet

[deft marten]

I have a mod the colours every tarot different colours so I can easily tell them apart

[deft marten]

naur

[deft marten]

made it to anti 10 but couldn't get the deckfixing I needed

[last cradle]

Same, better luck next time? or grats

[deft marten]

I don't think I've ever won with my main hand being straights 💀 🏳️‍🌈 ? 👀

[serene forge]

I hate Phhotograph

[dire tapir]

man I really wanna play Balatro it’s fun right

[last cradle]

yes

[oblique vine]

Had an insane run yesterday that ended up having dusk, brainstorm, trib, sock&buskin and 2x blueprint by ante 8

[last cradle]

more than it has the right to be

the dev team can make anything into a fun game

[dire tapir]

can u uhh donate

[serene forge]

but did you have retcon

[oblique vine]

Yuup

Acutally no

[serene forge]

awesome

[oblique vine]

Just dirextors cut

[serene forge]

lol

[dire tapir]

man

[oblique vine]

It’s like 10 bucks

[dire tapir]

13

[deft marten]

real question is did they have blank 🔥

[dire tapir]

😔

[oblique vine]

Not on mobile afaik?

I paid 9usd for mobile

[dire tapir]

on mobile Canadian dollars is 13

[oblique vine]

Which is like 9usd

[dire tapir]

ye

[oblique vine]

It’s worth it

[dire tapir]

I’m broke

[last cradle]

I bought it on phone too, just because i wanted at least one good game on my phone that isn't full of ads or p2w

I have few games on my phone

[oblique vine]

Idk how old you are, but prolly not that old if you dont hsve 13cad. Ask your parents or something for christmas

[last cradle]

barely play on it

[dire tapir]

I don’t really spend money on games and I’m don’t have a j*b so uhh

I really want to play it I see so many vids and stuff on it and it looks so cool

[oblique vine]

Like i said, ask your parents

[deft marten]

or maybe he just doesn't have money to spare on a video game 💀

[last cradle]

asking strangers is not the right way

[oblique vine]

But gall to ask randoms for money?

[dire tapir]

🧍‍♂️

[last cradle]

is the game regionally priced?

[dire tapir]

I think

[last cradle]

like cheaper in brazil?

[oblique vine]

Yea

[deft marten]

I don't think so, just conversion rate

[last cradle]

let mecheck steam database

[oblique vine]

Think its cheaper in turkey or something

[dire tapir]

is it better to play on steam or is it better on mobile app

[last cradle]

it is not

it is about the same

[oblique vine]

I really just play mobile these days

But its fine on both. If you want to use mods, play on pc

[pale wolf]

im

[random ice]

Money based build

[last cradle]

it is slightly different but mainly conversion rates like @deft marten mentioned

[pale wolf]

better on steam although mobile interface is pretty fun with the dragging

[dire tapir]

I really wanna play balatro cuz there’s not that many good games on my devices and nothing to play on games like Roblox

[last cradle]

me neither, just bought it to have a decent game without ads on my phone

very few of those nowdays

[oblique vine]

Yea agreed

[dire tapir]

real

lots of my games are full of ads or some random ai slop

[pale wolf]

i mean any decent game with ads is gonna have an option without ads probably for less than balatro

not that its a good system

[deft marten]

good deck fixing so far

[serene forge]

me when i transform my phone into a thermonuclear battery by playing endless mode on it

[random ice]

With Lucky cat too

[oblique vine]

Huh?

[random ice]

Lucky cat good

[dire tapir]

I can play pirated version but I heard it doesn’t save and that would be very annoying

[oblique vine]

Yea

[pale wolf]

and pirating indie games is cringe

[serene forge]

at minimum don't talk about piracy here

i can understand why you'd pirate things but it's still illegal

[deft marten]

if you're gonna pay anybody for a game it should be an indie dev and not a biollion dollar megacorp 🔥

[last cradle]

Some can't afford, if you TRULY can't afford games, not saying it as an excuse i think it is fine but if can then you should pay

[dire tapir]

I js wanna play sum balatro😭

[last cradle]

I have over 1000 games on 1 steam account

[dire tapir]

wow

rich

[oblique vine]

Ask your parents bro😭😭

Or save up

[acoustic kettle]

I personally pirate my whole pc components

[serene forge]

i only have like 20 on mine lol

[dire tapir]

I lowkey wanna ask on Christmas but uhh that’s in like uhh

uhh

[last cradle]

I just think that pirating is ok for only THOSE in like countries that a game costs a whole years salary

[dire tapir]

2 months

right

[oblique vine]

2 yeah

[last cradle]

if you can buy, you should

[dire tapir]

1 month and 24 days

[deft marten]

a hot russian woman in my area bought me balatro the ads were real 😎

[oblique vine]

Yea i misclicked

[dire tapir]

yes

that’s a bit of time

[oblique vine]

Whaaat they always just kill my gros michel

[deft marten]

noooo not the banana 😭

[last cradle]

I might have bought a lot of games

[random ice]

Gold Seal Lucky Kings

[oblique vine]

Nice deck bro

[dire tapir]

wow

recently played 11

💀

[deft marten]

need the balatro card deck ong

[last cradle]

I just unlocked spectral deck

[random ice]

People sleep on Lucky Cat

It's just a good joker

[oblique vine]

Yea i want it

[deft marten]

like every joker, it's situational

[last cradle]

not original

+4 mult

[random ice]

Rebate isn't situational

[dire tapir]

how do you unlock blueprint I’m curious

I see it a crap ton

[random ice]

Rebate is just FREE MONEEEY

[oblique vine]

Cheap mult earlygame

[last cradle]

no, cost discards, no?

[oblique vine]

Isnt it like 1 dollar

Or 2

[deft marten]

it's better late game but early game, especially high stake with less discards it's not as good

[last cradle]

2

[oblique vine]

Yea that allows you to oneshot the first couple of blinds

[random ice]

It's the best Econ in the game, it averages $10 per round

[last cradle]

I have won ante 8 with red, blue, yellow and green deck so far

[random ice]

Even with 2 discards

[deft marten]

Wee Joker more like Oui Oui Joker 🇫🇷

[oblique vine]

What stake?

I really dont like green deck

[random ice]

You have to burn hands to optimise your Rebate but

$10

[last cradle]

normal, just starting my unlock journey

[oblique vine]

Agree with roy

[oblique vine]

Fair

[deft marten]

nah it's situational bro's not locked in
cards can be better then others but it's all about the hand you're playing, hand size, deck size, anti, all of it

[acoustic kettle]

Rebate is always free money

Especially early

It's always a no brainer pick

[random ice]

Like there are few times I don't take a Rebate

[serene forge]

if you could start every game with a rebate i think every seed would be winnable

for sure

[oblique vine]

I think every seed is winnable anyway

[random ice]

I mean, I've not lost a gold stake where I found rebate ante 1

[serene forge]

yeah but i think starting with rebate would solidify that

[oblique vine]

Definitely

I love rebate

[deft marten]

I wish balatro had a more sandbox gamemode
like how minecraft is mainly survival but there's also creative where you have access to everything and can do whatever you want, I wish balatro had that

[quartz ember]

white stake:

[oblique vine]

I mean you can just choose the unlock all option?

[acoustic kettle]

Thunk should add challenge editor

[oblique vine]

Or do you mean get unlimited tarots in a run?

[deft marten]

no I mean like
you'd be able to just give yourself jokers, change anti scaling, type in commands, have access to everythingh in like an inventory, like that

[oblique vine]

Aah yeah thatd be cool

[acoustic kettle]

Debug menu i guess

[unreal iron]

surprisingly close run somehow

"that looks like the easiest win oat" not when youre broke, cant find any standard packs for 4 antes and scrambling for xmult during ante 6

poly const lowkey saved this run

[fading cobalt]

Me watching drspectred yapping about a common joker and spending 5+ minutes in shop

[obsidian patrol]

yes please!

[unreal iron]

amazing content

love hyperanalysis

[fading cobalt]

You wanna watch him take a minute to evaluate picking up even Steven?

[wintry ice]

half of the point of the channel is to educate people about balatro

[last cradle]

looked them up, will watch their videos now

🙂

[obsidian patrol]

Yes

[fading cobalt]

If I watch balatro uni I'm getting my ear yapped off about a joker but if I watch roffle he hardly says a thing about his build

[obsidian patrol]

well yes

you wont learn that much from roffle

[acoustic kettle]

Roffle is funny big number build man

Dr is educational

[wintry ice]

that is what i said

one explains things

the other just plays

[unreal iron]

yes?

[fading cobalt]

Over explains

[cloud sinew]

yes. knowing what he's thinking about before he makes a decision makes it so much easier to know what to do in situations like that myself

[wintry ice]

eh

[cloud sinew]

it's not over explaining at all, there really is just that much that goes into decisions like that if you're playing optimally

[acoustic kettle]

Doc makes me better at the game even now with 100+ hours in

[cloud sinew]

doc makes me better even with ~900 hours in

[unreal iron]

yeah fr

the only reason why im even attempting a 2nd c++ is because of doc

i feel like ive been made better at the game just by watching him more than say roffle or other youtubers

[wintry ice]

i have 1k hours and i still watch his channel because my gameplay is incredibly inconsistent

[cloud sinew]

he has a LOT of time in the game, and so much of that is dedicated to getting better at the game

he's also a professor irl and is very good at teaching people how to be good at balatro; teaching is a difficult skill in and of itself

[vocal rose]

thats cool and all but 2^1024

[fading cobalt]

Me when I naneinf my calculator

[fervent wolf]

What is yall's least favorite rare?

I'll go first, mine is Campfire

[acoustic kettle]

Tribe / family

[fading cobalt]

Baseball

[obsidian patrol]

awful picks

[fading cobalt]

Whats yours then

[acoustic kettle]

Dna / baron fr

[fervent wolf]

Worst take I heard all year

[obsidian patrol]

DNA

[lunar zealot]

...

[obsidian patrol]

Campfire and baseball card are great

[cloud sigil]

i'm ognna fuckin morb

[fervent wolf]

Don't worry, Baseball is awesome

[acoustic kettle]

Dna / baron / order / tribe

[vocal rose]

dna

[lunar zealot]

Bye cavendish

you lose to plant btw

[vocal rose]

whys that

[cloud sigil]

🥀

DONTTT

[fading cobalt]

Does baseball only count uncommons or is it also rarities higher than uncommon?

[lunar zealot]

Only uncommons

[vocal rose]

only uncommons

[acoustic kettle]

Only

[lunar zealot]

inb4 'so it sucks'

[fading cobalt]

Ok so you can have about 4 uncommons on average how is baseball card that good?

[vocal rose]

every uncommon becomes poly

[lunar zealot]

and?

[obsidian patrol]

yes that is amazing

[lunar zealot]

2 uncommons is already x2.25 mult

and you don't have to do a damn thing

[obsidian patrol]

just for having jokers?

[vocal rose]

6x mult isnt good?

[lunar zealot]

with tribe you have to play a flush

[obsidian patrol]

too endless brained

[vocal rose]

4.5x mult isnt good?

2.25x isnt good?

[lunar zealot]

with throwback you have to skip blinds

[acoustic kettle]

Tribe / order isn't good ngl

[lunar zealot]

with bloodstone you have to use bloodstone

[lunar zealot]

Order is good

[dire tapir]

guys

[lunar zealot]

tribe isn't

[obsidian patrol]

I love rares in this game

[obsidian patrol]

Besides the hand type ones

[dire tapir]

is it possible to win (ante 8) without perkeo

[fervent wolf]

I just hate scaling it, I'd rather use Baseball or htr, I don't really "hate" it per say, I just don't like scaling it

[lunar zealot]

yes?

[acoustic kettle]

No

[dire tapir]

also how do you unlock blueprint

[lunar zealot]

win a run

[acoustic kettle]

Win

[obsidian patrol]

yes man

yes it 8s

only with baron and mime though

[lunar zealot]

don't encourage them

[fading cobalt]

I just find myself selling baseball for something different before I can find a use for it

[severe arch]

Weirdest deck i've had that got me pretty far ngl

[lunar zealot]

Big shocker

[fading cobalt]

?

[fervent wolf]

So you're hating on before even giving it a chance

[lunar zealot]

give it a chance

It's very good

[cloud sigil]

yall pray for me

[lunar zealot]

it makes bad uncommons good and good uncommons great

[acoustic kettle]

Imagine if bbc is an uncommon though

Hmm

[dire tapir]

photochad

[lunar zealot]

copy chad

[random ice]

Beautifully scuffed setup

[severe arch]

for refrence, the reason i even got that far was cuz of the burglar's janky mechanic of gaining more hands and that amount of hands i get it enough to activate the loyalty card every round

[random ice]

Used Bean with HTR to make it a 4X

[lunar zealot]

baseball lets you buy bad uncommons and even if they're shit they give xmult for free

[random ice]

Along with my negative Drunkard

[fading cobalt]

Mr bones was just there for the ride

[lunar zealot]

seance showman idol throwback etc etc

[fading cobalt]

Or to sticker it

[cloud sigil]

what i

[random ice]

Vessel insurance

[lunar zealot]

and good uncommons like blackboard hologram hack

[fading cobalt]

Copy chad

[random ice]

I know what I'm about, I always plan ahead for Vessel

[lunar zealot]

just become even better

[barren wigeon]

not getting past ante 2

[random ice]

People who get surprised by Vessel often forget it exists until Ante 8

[fervent wolf]

Exactly. I won my first gold stake with it

[random ice]

Also, I used a Strength to boost HTR too

[cloud sigil]

this ante 5 lil bro

[barren wigeon]

not getting past ante 6

[lunar zealot]

Genuinely no clue why people still get blindsided by and lose to vv

[acoustic kettle]

Plant next boss

[cloud sigil]

bye

[lunar zealot]

you know for a fact a blind exists whose sole purpose is to punish scraping by

[fervent wolf]

Vv is pretty easy

[cloud sigil]

EVERYONE CALM DOWN

[lunar zealot]

so play around it

[random ice]

I draft Justices in ante 7 for VV

[lunar zealot]

Real and true

[random ice]

And just run one consumable slot down

[lunar zealot]

i fish for a third xmult joker just for vv

[acoustic kettle]

I can't justice to get past vv when i'm chipsmaxxing💔

[barren wigeon]

since i have completed yellow deck gold stake i am now going to fish for jokers

not stickers

[zinc willow]

Balatro said fuck you and took my lifeline

[barren wigeon]

just jokers

[lunar zealot]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

🥀

[acoustic kettle]

That is thunk controlling the crimson heart

[lunar zealot]

just the way it goes man idk what to say

[fervent wolf]

Throwback to this setup in only ante 3

[lunar zealot]

Did you not have like

a single glass card

[lunar zealot]

order and burglar?

a rental that early too

I mean it's definitely a setup

[dire tapir]

How to u lock blueprint?

[fervent wolf]

But with Blueprint as well, I did win the run

[dire tapir]

Unlock

[fervent wolf]

WIN A RUN

[dire tapir]

😔

[fervent wolf]

[unreal iron]

sticker rush!!! 5 gone

now im halfway done

[fervent wolf]

I'm in there!

[cloud sigil]

cavendish acting like a desperate ex

[zinc willow]

I still don't even have a sticker on every joker

[waxen fable]

Discard a royal flush to get the scribbly

[barren wigeon]

dont diss the goat of flat xmult

[waxen fable]

Took me 8 months

So goo luck

[cloud sigil]

your goat is washed this run

NO PLANT BABYYYY

[barren wigeon]

cavendish is DEFINITELY not washed

[waxen fable]

Have some respect on Cavendish

[barren wigeon]

dont go running to goatdish when you need xmult

[waxen fable]

Hes saving ur sorry ass in a plant gambit

[obsidian patrol]

the ever so trusty glass card

[waxen fable]

Humble justice tarot Not appearing

[twin lantern]

bruh when u touched grass last time

[sly bolt]

hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?

[waxen fable]

Discard a Royal Flush 😊

[tardy spade]

get naneinf 5 times in a row without restarting or losing

[fading cobalt]

I have this feeling nothing changed...

[sly bolt]

that sounds hard :<

[waxen fable]

Just now

Cuz i stopped playing the game

Waiting for the humble update that's not gonna get out until years later

[hasty harness]

just started the grind towards gold staking nebula...

[waxen fable]

Worst deck in the game

[sly bolt]

Friends of Jimbo 6 should include the Penitent One

[twin lantern]

it was announced at least?

[waxen fable]

Good luck on gs it

[unreal iron]

not this year

thats all

[waxen fable]

Announced but thunk clearly needed a break

[hasty harness]

thanks

[unreal iron]

not negative my guy

[hasty harness]

but black is way worse

at least from what ive heard

[waxen fable]

-1 hand is detrimental

At least it's challenging n not boring

[unreal iron]

lowkey i DONT want blue stake reworked

[waxen fable]

Nebula just boring the entire time i remember throwing and quitting cuz it was mad boring

[unreal iron]

-1 discard stuck to me

i play red deck and forget i have an extra discard sometimes

[waxen fable]

No more pair meta (thank God)

[unreal iron]

true it finally allows 5 card hands to be way more viable

[waxen fable]

I swear Pairs the only way to win gs rn

[unreal iron]

im just saying i got used to it

[unreal iron]

straights:

two pair:

[wintry ice]

baron or tribe

[waxen fable]

The discards penalty make those 2 so bad

[unreal iron]

(by technicality) 3-4oak:

[waxen fable]

Pairs all the way

Please new meta. Lowkey

[night turret]

[fading cobalt]

I just got ancient joker from judgement

[waxen fable]

Im tired of auto taking nova

[unreal iron]

i still think the big 3 scaling +mult jokers are still gonna be prominent

even after the rework

[waxen fable]

Runner still prominent and probably gonna be even more better

Unfortunately our best buddy rebate is gonna get nerfed

It's too good rn

[wintry ice]

hit the road is also getting buffed

which is awesome

[hasty harness]

chat we're cooking something

[wintry ice]

perkeo carry

[fading cobalt]

Lets go I got obelisk

dies on next boss blind

[tardy spade]

why are negative skips seen as incredible by new players and generally terrible by experienced players?

I'm an experienced player who sees them as terrible but used to see them as incredible

[fading cobalt]

Because skipping shop isnt worth a negative joker that has a low chance of being valuable and high chance of being a terrible joker

[wintry ice]

+1 joker slot sounds great to a new player

but most of the time that joker slot is used on something that doesn't help your run

[fading cobalt]

I miss read your question

My fault

What hand do you guys use to scale obelisk then pivot?

[wintry ice]

pairs

[fading cobalt]

So play pairs then pivot to?

[wintry ice]

anything

you should have chip and mult generation that doesn't care about what hand you play

so like

[tardy spade]

if you could swap editions somehow then they'd be drastically more useful

[wintry ice]

even sly joker if your red card is high enough

[fading cobalt]

This people is why we play yellow deck

[fading cobalt]

That would be so insanely op tho

[tardy spade]

like an ectoplasm without the debuff

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[hasty harness]

easy win

[fading cobalt]

I hate the flint so much

An early ante flint kills me almost every time

[manic talon]

in theory its a free joker that you can always take
in practice its a random joker that will be 80% of the time useless to your build, and in higher antes either be perishable (less long term value) or rental (actively detrimental)

also new players just dont get that skipping also skips your chance for a shop

[fading cobalt]

New players probably see those cola or anaglyph runs that take negative tag and see insane value

[shell current]

Congrats on finally getting that gold sticker! Must’ve been a really strong run to carry that dead weight all the way to the end

[tardy spade]

like how they see naneinf runs and see baron as the best joker in the game

[fading cobalt]

✅

[hasty harness]

i took an eternal rift raff ante one on black deck gold stake and won with it lol

i got polychrome on it from a wheel it was the mvp of the run

[shell current]

I’m not talking about riff raff

[hasty harness]

cloud 9

[tardy spade]

riff raff is a good joker

[manic talon]

every balala run thats popular is baron mime or idol slop, which doesnt actually reflect on what the actual game is

[hasty harness]

but i mean at a certain point in a run

its not good is what i meant

[hasty harness]

pairs go brrrr

[shell current]

Cloud 9 gives money, also incredible

[hasty harness]

worse golden joker half the time 🤫

[tardy spade]

because the actual types of runs that you get are very difficult to explain to people

[manic talon]

not really a good ragebait if people dont get it lmao

[royal bobcat]

It's not only a shame, it's also lame

[hasty harness]

i mean most of the time its just pairs, flat mult, chips, and a xmult

[royal bobcat]

The only kind of fun endless runs are the ones drspectrd does

[vocal rose]

stone cards 🙂

[fading cobalt]

Early ante

[tardy spade]

and zaino

[fading cobalt]

Like ante 1-2

[royal bobcat]

Never watched a vid of theirs but they might be

[random ice]

Took bloodstone at the end as a joke

[manic talon]

flint can only show up ante 2 or above, so just ante 2

[random ice]

As I was running heart flushes

[vocal rose]

the flint cannot show on ante 1

lol

[fading cobalt]

Right well it was ante 2

I didn't know that so I just said ante 1-2 to approximate

[random ice]

Um actually heiroglyph 🤓

[vocal rose]

🤦‍♀️

[random ice]

Lmao

[manic talon]

technically every blind can show up on their normal antes -2

[tardy spade]

ox and plant?

[random ice]

Using Heiro and petra

[manic talon]

ox would be ante 4, plant would be ante 2

[tardy spade]

yeah

[manic talon]

theyre ante 6 and 4 normally

[random ice]

Ox really should be available from Ante 2 onwards imo

I don't get why it's lategame restricted

I guess it's really toothless early game

[night turret]

Might be looking at a win for this deck
But just wanted to see what yall think

Not skipping anymore cause throwback is at 2.25

[shell dagger]

it’s only punishing in the lategame

[tardy spade]

why is plant limited to ante 4+ but every other debuffer (barring verdant leaf) can show up ante 1?

[manic talon]

the later you are in the run the more certain it is you have an actual main hand, i guess

[random ice]

Actually makes it more of a challenge

If you see Plant ante 2

You know you can run faces

After ante 2

[manic talon]

ante 1 or 2 plant would go extremely hard

[random ice]

Iirc boss blinds can't reshow in the first 8 antes under normal circumstances?

[manic talon]

imagine ante 1 eye

[random ice]

I mean just play a Flush and a Full House

[manic talon]

wdym by reshow

[random ice]

Can't repeat

[manic talon]

yea i mean imagine how good it would be

[random ice]

Appear more than once

[tardy spade]

boss blinds can't repeat until you've gone through them all

[random ice]

Ohhhhh

Yeah you got a point

[tardy spade]

if you see head ante 1 you know you can run hearts

[dire tapir]

is it funnier to use unlock all

[manic talon]

boss blinds in general cant repeat until you "met" all of them once each
meeting as in rerolling past or just beating it

[night turret]

Sell empty joker for space? I have no chips in cards either

[random ice]

Ahhhh so Serpant rerolls are always the same price then right?

[night turret]

Or just four of a kind, might be better?

[tardy spade]

no because of luck

[random ice]

Oh wait

I guess you can revisit different ones first

There's for sure a max and a minimum range though?

[tardy spade]

yeah

wait

vayn

[manic talon]

not quite, it has the same average cost, but everytime you have exhausted the current boss blind "queue", there will be a new queue with a randomized order, so you can technically go last boss on queue serpent into first boss on 2nd queue also serpent

[tardy spade]

after your first repeat of boss blinds do you have to go through them all again to get another repeat?

[wintry ice]

it starts at +4$ unless you're building 10s for some reason

[manic talon]

the minimum is one reroll

[random ice]

As I understand it now there's a pool

And once you exhaust the pool

Everything is available again

So in theory

Serpant can be the last Boss in the current pool

And the first boss in the next pool

[manic talon]

and the maximum reroll is like.... 45? (total bosses X2 -1)

[random ice]

I kind of intuitively knew some of this logic, but haven't actually thought it through

I guess because I don't really do endless

It's a shame ante 0 doesn't let you Boss Reroll into an Ante 8 boss blind

That would allow you to get information for later in the run

I could see a potential meta under yellow Deck for buying the Heiro and using Boss Reroll skip specifically for that

[royal bobcat]

That would be funny

[random ice]

I live for these kind of niche interactions in Balatro

They actually hard coded it out

So you can't get ante 8 boss blinds in ante 0

[mighty garden]

probably silly question but does mime retrigger shoot the moon and reservedf parking??

[tardy spade]

like how they also hard coded out hermit doubling your debt

[random ice]

Moon no, Parking yes

Parking sort of actually

[royal bobcat]

As well as raised fist

[turbid reef]

Why are we hating yorick

[tardy spade]

yes, but it only retriggers parking if it triggers

[royal bobcat]

Shoot the moon not to the moon

[random ice]

Parking only Retriggers on a 50% chance f it has Triggered once

[tardy spade]

it retriggers shoot the moon, what

[random ice]

Ohhh shoot the moon yes

I thought they meant ttm

My bad

[mighty garden]

with parking its $2 if 1/2 hits and not 2 chances at $1??

[tardy spade]

with parking its 1 chance at $1 and if that hits it's another chance at another $1

[random ice]

With Parking it's 50% chance of $1, followed by another 50% chance but only on a success

[zinc willow]

Goodbye balatro im gonna go kill myself, my dumbass forgot to move the fuckin blueprint

[tardy spade]

unless.... mime retriggers any other effects on that card

[mighty garden]

ahhhhhhh ok

[turbid reef]

No don’t kill your self.

[random ice]

Super buggy interaction lmao

[tardy spade]

yeah

[manic talon]

just forgot to do the 2nd reserved parking proc regardless of the 1st one

[random ice]

So it's best to Steel Faces sometimes to ensure Mime doubles its parking odds

[tardy spade]

was that his intention? For it to work like that?

[mighty garden]

so whats happening with mime, parking and shoot the moon with seals?? do i just not understand it and call it a day becuase ill probably never be in this situation again?

[random ice]

I love this game sometimes lmao

[tardy spade]

elaborate more

[random ice]

Red Seals will cause a Retrigger in the same way Mime does

[tardy spade]

red seals follow the same rules as mime, they retrigger shoot the moon always and reserved parking only when it hits

[manic talon]

nah, its most likely an oversight, if it was intended to work like that, steel or other separate trigger shouldnt have "fixed" it

[quartz ember]

mime just retriggers any held in hand ability. Whats the thing that you dont understand?

[random ice]

Mime only Retriggers if the first Retrigger lands

That's the important thing to remember

[mighty garden]

what did this mean?

[random ice]

It means Steel causes it to activate Parking

[fading cobalt]

What do you guys think is the worst/most annoying boss

I would say the fish

[random ice]

So you get the 50% chance either if

Parking initially triggers or
Steel triggers

[tardy spade]

any other held in hand effects, so if mime retriggers shoot the moon, steel, raised fist etc. reserved parking gets another chance

[manic talon]

also its chance based, you cant really know its happening at a glance, so its kinda understandable
