[alpine basalt]

not entirely

it works with most of the ante 1 bosses

[floral mural]

no it generates cash like mad when its activates. unfortunately the activation condition and what bosses work requires the damn wiki to know

any item in a game like this that needs a wiki to understand is lame to me

[alpine basalt]

matador is the only joker in the game that confuses me sometimes with its citon

activation

[balmy ridge]

when it activates

[alpine basalt]

why is my kb having a stroke rn

[balmy ridge]

kb?

[alpine basalt]

keyboard

[floral mural]

it activates on any debuffed card and some other hand bosses

[balmy ridge]

lol

[floral mural]

those other ones are so inconsistent tho

[balmy ridge]

why not just say keyboard

[floral mural]

abour which triggers and which doesnt

[alpine basalt]

keeps not registering key strokes and then sometimes it'll just randomly input like 8 in a row

[pallid vault]

My old high score vs my new high score!

[steep depot]

violet vessel kill me :C

[alpine basalt]

for the second one you oughta the bp on photo if i'm not mistaken

[balmy ridge]

why is your screen shaking so much its scary

[alpine basalt]

or dusk

[pallid vault]

Because I didn't change my screen shake settings

[alpine basalt]

also gj on the new highscore

[rancid gull]

Real

[pulsar forge]

100% screen shake enthusiast

[alpine basalt]

you trying to get the 100m in one hand achievement?

[pallid vault]

Wouldn't chad be better because of photograph doubling the amount? Copying dusk i think would get rid of a lot of that

[pallid vault]

Yea last joker I needed to unlock

[alpine basalt]

you can probably get it if you are still on the run on the left if you change what you are copying

right*

[vague belfry]

balatro

[alpine basalt]

not left

[rancid gull]

Hello Jimbo

[pallid vault]

Get the achievement...? That was 69 billion...?

[vestal niche]

Does ancient joker work like idol

[vague belfry]

hello steve

[rancid gull]

No

[alpine basalt]

ignore me i'm stupid

[rancid gull]

Ancient joker always changes suits

even if you deck fix

[vestal niche]

Bruhh

[vague belfry]

yes, although for suits and not specific ranks

[rancid gull]

Best thing you can do is wild cards

[vague belfry]

and no, deck fixing does not affect it

[pallid vault]

Like the only time wildcards are useful

[rancid gull]

Wildcards aren't the worst

But they aren't great

[vague belfry]

they are tho

they're the worst of all the enhancements by far

[rancid gull]

If I had a pack of two suit changers and a wild card

I'd take the wild card lol

It's like a inch better

[vague belfry]

but why

[balmy ridge]

situational

[rancid gull]

Cause we're getting wild up in here jimbo

jeez

[balmy ridge]

if you have wee joker then bonus cards are basically useless

if you have ancient joker then wild cards are amazing

[pallid vault]

I'd rather have bonus or mult cards over wilds and those ain't great

[vague belfry]

bonus cards, in all situations provide scoring, wild cards do basically nothing

[white zodiac]

and is now susceptible to four more boss blinds 👅

[rancid gull]

It's for my awesome straight flush build that I'll never get to work

Even though having cards of one suit would be better lol

[pallid vault]

Lucky, gold and steel are the best

[rancid gull]

Lucky is my beloved

[alpine basalt]

this was your hand you played with your joker setup

This is what I can find is the best one for that

ignore that its sock and not dusk I haven't figured out how to make it the "last hand" in this calculator

[vestal niche]

My run is cooked then if I don't find a real scoring joker

[alpine basalt]

basically copying dusk is better there cause you lose 1 retrigger on the first card but gain 2 from the other 2 glass

[pallid vault]

Makes sense... atleast I got a over 100 million that's all I really wanted tbh. Also funny number

[alpine basalt]

yeah over the 100mil is the important part, just some info for the future

[pallid vault]

I lost the run IMMEDIATELY after

[alpine basalt]

ran out of glass?

[pallid vault]

Yea they all basically broke and I couldn't do anything about the next blind

[alpine basalt]

yeah, happens

[pallid vault]

My most money in one run (the greatest bull ever my god)

This was me going for the 400 dollars one

[alpine basalt]

the 400 dollars one was a fun one

all you got left is the ante 12 voucher?

[pallid vault]

I got so lucky with brainstorm, midas mask and pareindollia early on

[balmy ridge]

1 or 2

[pallid vault]

I did that one with either that Highscore run or another one... tbh the hardest one was to beat it in under 12 rounds

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[potent tree]

wraith clutching up once again (holo baseball)

[alpine basalt]

oh for that one I just reset until I got throwback essentially (and by reset I mean I skipped until I lost)

[pallid vault]

Basically me going through seeds until I got a rare skip and praying I got a blue print or a brainstorm... then trying to get photochad or something to get me there

[vestal niche]

Holy save I just did my last roll and pulled idol

[alpine basalt]

or waiit no thats how you unlock throwback

[pallid vault]

Nope thats marry Andy you unlock

[alpine basalt]

then I did use throwback in that run

[pallid vault]

I got throwback in one of my runs but post because I was poor and got no base mult jokers

Lost*

[alpine basalt]

real

[balmy ridge]

someone tell me 1 or 2

[pallid vault]

2

[alpine hollow]

1

[serene forge]

5

[oblique matrix]

Nope!

[potent tree]

yes final boss is AA...i might yet win this run

just for one single gold sticker

[rancid gull]

I finally get obelisk

[alpine hollow]

congrats

tbh i forgot the unlock requirements for it

[rancid gull]

No like, winning a run

I always hated obelisk

[alpine hollow]

me too

[rancid gull]

But... I get it now

[alpine hollow]

I never understood the appeal of obelisk

[potent tree]

27 gold stickers to go...

[alpine basalt]

pair build into high mult scaling

[alpine hollow]

pairs are boring though...

[potent tree]

wraith clutching saved me

[alpine hollow]

theres no pizzaz with pairs

[potent tree]

on ante 7

and first shop ante 9 is chad...sigh

new run time

[white zodiac]

it all makes sense now

[white zodiac]

lucky for you, you don't have to play them for the second half of the game

[alpine hollow]

how the heck did you get X10

[alpine basalt]

play alot of hands

[white zodiac]

wdym how did I get x10

[alpine basalt]

early burglar into obelisk is just so peak

[white zodiac]

it's just how this joker works

[alpine hollow]

i understand that, but thats about 200 hands

[alpine basalt]

no it isnt?

[white zodiac]

didn't use burglar on my x10 run

[white zodiac]

that is not how math works

[alpine hollow]

+X0.2 each hand, 10/0.2 = 200

wait nvm

[alpine basalt]

50

[white zodiac]

[alpine basalt]

10/1/5

[alpine hollow]

sorry, my bain is cooked rn

exam week

[alpine basalt]

real, me too

[plain vector]

118/120 deck stake wins :3

almost done

[alpine hollow]

im looking dforward to forgetiing all the content ive leartn

[alpine hollow]

congrats

[alpine basalt]

I don't forget fr (in the subjects I care about at least)

I am an academic weapon

[potent tree]

strangely enough black was only the 11th or 12th of the 15 decks i finished

my last one was abandoned

[plain vector]

hm

[alpine basalt]

lowkey being a professor would be a dream job for me if not for the fact that I can make more money elsewhere

[plain vector]

i left black deck for last

[alpine hollow]

i only need to pass one subject, for my Cert 3 in ICT

[plain vector]

not 100% on purpose just kinda happened

[alpine hollow]

i dont understand how teachers can deal with students 5 days a wekk

[blissful cedar]

Hey twin i passed lvl 2 in a week you wanna speedrun level 3

[plain vector]

wow 2 more wins then i have C+ before even getting completionist lol

[humble gulch]

I really tried...

[alpine hollow]

'Tis a two year course

[plain vector]

close enough

[alpine hollow]

e179 is still impressive

[odd marsh]

lowkey the start of that new joji song sounds like the start of the balatro music when you load in

[alpine basalt]

thats the fun part If I were a college prof I wouldn't have to

[plain vector]

my highest score is only e78

[blissful cedar]

Just for IC3 or you get other certifications with it???

At least you guys have e something

[alpine basalt]

now if I had to teach like grade school, hell nah, fuckkkk that

[alpine hollow]

no other certs

[humble gulch]

I wasn't trying naneinf, i were trying to get to ante 39

[alpine hollow]

thats kinda the same thing, i think

idk

[blissful cedar]

What happens at ante 39

Dont spoil it for me

[alpine hollow]

ok

[humble gulch]

You can not longer beat any blind

[hasty harness]

rare non pair gold stake win

[blissful cedar]

But i really dont see myself breaking the game to that point

[vale wharf]

Is there a joker unlock requiring an amount of money earned or held in a run?

[hasty harness]

i got stone and certificate gold stickered as well

sad no negative skip :/

[humble gulch]

Satellite

[humble gulch]

.

[atomic trout]

I'm having bad luck

[alpine basalt]

perkeo observatory is the easiest way imo

[alpine hollow]

i think satelite, get $400 or more in a run

[blissful cedar]

One needs you to save 400 its kinda mid but you should unlock all jokers

[hasty harness]

lowkey bean bug abusing with baron mime is probably easier

[vale wharf]

Thanks!

[alpine hollow]

np

[vale wharf]

I think I can get it, then

I just got mime also

[blissful cedar]

Guys we're gambling

[alpine basalt]

well yeah proibably but thats much more rng dependant

[blissful cedar]

How do you have your deck fixed like that at ante 5

[hasty harness]

i mean perkeo is pretty rng dependant itself

just saying :p

[white zodiac]

white stake

[alpine hollow]

to be fair, so does getting a soul & perkeo

[alpine basalt]

I think I get a perkeo more frequently than I do A bean with crimson

[unreal island]

perkeo is op bc it can give me infinite lovers

[alpine hollow]

fair enough

[alpine hollow]

heheheh

[alpine basalt]

gotta make up for what you cant irl huh

[unreal island]

yeah man i wish i had more wilds irl

[north schooner]

mid? Satellite is a perfectly adequate econ joker.

[alpine hollow]

i would say it is the best uncommon econ

[alpine basalt]

yknow wild cards would be better if it was suit and rank like a true wild card

[north schooner]

only slightly worse than cloud nine

[alpine basalt]

like an anti-srd

what about rocket?

[alpine hollow]

it isnt retroactive, so if you get it ante 7 it doesnt do much

[alpine basalt]

true

[north schooner]

Rockets good early, not good late.

[alpine hollow]

Ante 2 or 3 rocket is busted

[white zodiac]

uh no lol

[white zodiac]

that belongs to midas

[north schooner]

But it's very very good early. Auto pick a1-3

[alpine basalt]

I always forget midas is uncommon

[alpine hollow]

it removes the other enhancemetns you have on them

like glass and stuff

[north schooner]

I always forget Golden Ticket is common

[alpine hollow]

me too

[blissful cedar]

Just to confirm

[white zodiac]

why would you put enhancements knowing that this is a possible outcome in the first place

also gold is generally the best enhancement this is a non issue

[blissful cedar]

I ouija here no?

[alpine hollow]

i dont buy midas then

[white zodiac]

that's a stupid idea

oh well

[north schooner]

I... guess?

[hasty harness]

sick negative

[alpine basalt]

this might be a rare case of ouija being the right? choice?

[hasty harness]

sad i already got it gold stickered tho

[blissful cedar]

This is a but literally abandoned works so well in ensuring i get the 3 kind but will the -1 size hurt that bad

[alpine hollow]

not really

[north schooner]

I don't know if it's the right choice, but it's one of these extremely rare occasions where you would even consider it

[lost forge]

BRO HOWWWW

[rancid gull]

The Mr bones glitch

[alpine hollow]

id still take it though

[north schooner]

It's gonna be Jacks

[alpine basalt]

modded? or double bones ante skip?

[hasty harness]

i did

[alpine hollow]

that doesnt do roud, only ante

[hasty harness]

means i might not need a chips joker/to many planet levels

[alpine hollow]

i think, both

[night turret]

Yippe!!

Unlocked another joker!

[north schooner]

$183

[vale wharf]

I got too greedy 🙁

[night turret]

At least it’s only on white stake

[alpine hollow]

nvm gifs dont work

[alpine basalt]

I was gonna say why play a handful of golden cards if you don't have ticket then looked at the next image and my question answered itself

[night turret]

You’ll get another chance

[north schooner]

So what did you get?

[vale wharf]

Any good strategies?

[blissful cedar]

My game bugged out

[night turret]

Yeah, my best chance was getting Midas and hoping they would draw more face cards

[blissful cedar]

Fixes? I tried resetting... nothing

[night turret]

For blue deck?

[white zodiac]

hand scalers

[night turret]

New run, time to reset completely

[vale wharf]

For anything, I just want to unlock all the jokers and I wanted to reach 400

[alpine basalt]

this guy got shop storage like it's hollow knight

[alpine hollow]

just use the other spectral, buy anything you need and exit shop, that fixes it

[alpine basalt]

can you roll the shop miid hand? what happens if you take a joker?

[night turret]

Oh if you want 400 bucks try going for Midas if you get him

[blissful cedar]

No i have to see how far double eternal burnt joker takes me

[alpine hollow]

you can, and it works normally

[alpine basalt]

lmao

[white zodiac]

anaglyph white stake, find a $40 econ doubler tag

[alpine hollow]

its a pretty good glitch, all things considered

do the hand and discard money tags have a cap?

[alpine basalt]

no I don't think so?

[white zodiac]

arbitrarily no

[blissful cedar]

I cant use any of the spectrals and pack opening music playing and its still there

[alpine hollow]

can you beat the blind?

[alpine basalt]

is the skip button able to be hit?

[blissful cedar]

😔

[still tapir]

whos winning the war?

[blissful cedar]

Only one way to find out

[still tapir]

its a close match

[alpine hollow]

my favourite kind of deck

[still tapir]

yep

[alpine hollow]

marble joker my beloved

[alpine basalt]

or that one challenge run

[still tapir]

ive been hunting for the stone joker, +50 chips pwr stone

[alpine hollow]

alos marble joker

[alpine basalt]

true

[still tapir]

then we naneinf

[alpine basalt]

but its marble + like 20 other stone cards

[alpine hollow]

they are truly a synergy to be reckoned with

[alpine hollow]

only 12

the face cards

[blissful cedar]

Its fixed but I'll never know what the Ouija Spirits had for me

[dire crater]

eerrrrrrrrrrrr is this good or

[white zodiac]

errrr

[still tapir]

get swash and youve won

[alpine basalt]

little bit of this little bit of that ahh build

sell riff raff for mime

[alpine hollow]

do you have a lot of kings?

[dire crater]

k

[dire crater]

im in ante 2

[alpine hollow]

damn ok

[still tapir]

thats a ton of jokers for ante 2

[alpine basalt]

just get a good balance of kings and queens and make sure to put all the queens on the left of the kings before scoring

[dire crater]

riff raff

[still tapir]

oh yeah

[alpine hollow]

that looked like an ante 4~5 set

[still tapir]

yeah

[dire crater]

riff raff

[still tapir]

like i said get swashbuckler and ur at ante 10\

[alpine hollow]

isnt gift card and tachycardia uncommon

i forgot the name of the insane one

[still tapir]

a rock solid deck

[alpine hollow]

one of the best builds

[alpine basalt]

tachycardia 🗣️

[still tapir]

indeed

[alpine hollow]

i forgot the name, something like... abstract or something?

[dire crater]

playing balatro

while listening to carpenter brut

[alpine hollow]

whos that

[alpine basalt]

hallucination?

[alpine hollow]

thats the one!

[still tapir]

bingo

[alpine basalt]

tachycardia lmao

[white zodiac]

how did you confuse hallucination with tachycardia

[alpine basalt]

thats what imma call hallucination from now on

tachycardia top 3 tarot gen 🗣️

[alpine hollow]

i thogutht: insanity/pereiving things that arent there >> medical issues >> rhythm doctor >> tachycardia >> heiroglyph

[white zodiac]

um

[alpine hollow]

except i knew it couldnt be heiroglyh

[white zodiac]

yeah

[alpine hollow]

because thtas the voucher

[dire crater]

uuuuuuuuuuuuu but theres a problem

[alpine basalt]

also cant be abstract thats another joker

[dire crater]

im using plasma deck

[alpine hollow]

so? get heaps of Xmult and your good

[blissful cedar]

A 9 was flipped over and i mistaked it for a 10.....

[still tapir]

BOYS

[alpine hollow]

rip

[still tapir]

we win

[blissful cedar]

4 eternals was never going to get my anywhere

[potent tree]

is it too late for soul? satellite currently at 8 bucks, holo is 5.25

[alpine hollow]

sell chaos for soul

[potent tree]

chicot. oh well

guess it's a nice tool

[alpine hollow]

still good to have

why do people get so disappointed when they get chicot?

[alpine basalt]

i'd drop sat for it or chaos

[alpine hollow]

triboulet is far worse

[alpine hollow]

sat is at $8

[potent tree]

less disappointed but i prefer trib with my setup

[oblique matrix]

doesn't add anything to score

[alpine basalt]

I didn't see chaos there

i'm sitting rather far from my computer

[dire crater]

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is this good

[alpine hollow]

but it stops nasty blinds like plant and eye

[alpine basalt]

watching a show while laying on my bed

[potent tree]

i already have all the legendaries gold stickered anyway

[white zodiac]

prob cause it removes thinking or complexity from the game

[alpine hollow]

yes, dupe kings

or queens

[potent tree]

the problem herein lies with sat tho. it's uncommon so it gives baseball a boost

[dire crater]

=-0j-wef90igtbuoenvpieqodkps

[potent tree]

do i just throw it away for a random joker?

one that i may have yet to gold sticker?

[alpine hollow]

u good vro?

[dire crater]

its plasma, wich one should i dupe

[dire crater]

6

[oblique matrix]

7

[dire crater]

NO

NO

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[alpine hollow]

probably queens actually

[alpine hollow]

what happened?

[dire crater]

6

7

[oblique matrix]

forbidden characters

[dire crater]

once im done with this run im gonna try it with another deck

[alpine hollow]

two consequetive numbers does not need that reaction

[dire crater]

anyone wants the seed?

no

ok

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\

[alpine hollow]

no thx, sorry

[alpine hollow]

that was a pretty good keyboard mash tho

10/10

[dire crater]

yeah ive been practicing

having practice

bleh

[white zodiac]

practicing what

[dire crater]

this wacky language

[white zodiac]

oh

[alpine hollow]

fair enough

. . .

[still tapir]

this is the deck

[potent tree]

so we get free marble sticker?

(rip sat)

[dire crater]

wow

2 million in one hand

H*

BUY

BUY

[thick haven]

whats the easiest deck to unlock satellite on

[white zodiac]

anaglyph

[potent tree]

ok...if boss is CB and my pairs are level 23 can i sell chicot for family sticker

well they'll be level 26 since i don't have observatory

[dire crater]

fuck this game, im gonna play ball shooting war pigs super duper flying sloppie hoppie wicky wackye doo deluxe and knuckles

[still tapir]

boys, we did well, an ultimult rock solid deck, but all great things must come to an end, the stars that burn brightest burn out fastest.

[dire crater]

directors cut

[dire crater]

idk what makes me more upset

you clicking so slow or losing on purpose

[still tapir]

i was clicking pretty slow but i didnt lose on purpose

flint put my high card level to 15

[dire crater]

never reading balatro rule

[still tapir]

?

[potent tree]

free family and marble stickers. yippee

although i did have a chance at free stone sticker as well, but chose not to risk

[thick haven]

stuntman burglar build is funnier

[delicate valve]

How does ceremonial knife interact with eternal

[dire crater]

is this some sort o snow grave, oh wait wrong game

[potent tree]

nothing happens

[dire crater]

anyways look at my deck

[potent tree]

the joker has to be destroyed to give dagger mult

[dire crater]

its like a deck that would appear on a tv show, while a kid says some bullsh like "yeah high score"

[pale wolf]

it doesn't

[signal frigate]

It needs a sacrifice

Can't exactly sacrifice an immortal joker

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[pale wolf]

but what if all the jokers are eternal

[signal frigate]

I guess it's just a knife

[gray plaza]

Is this correct copying is it it 5.5 to 4 scoring to retrigger

[hasty harness]

fun

[obsidian patrol]

Seems like it

[west hemlock]

I hate purple stake A LOT

[karmic jetty]

What a ragtag setup to beat Magic deck gold stake lol

[west hemlock]

This is the first stake where I’ve struggled this hard everything you try gets shot by ante 5 😭

[signal frigate]

You even it out

3 retriggers, 3 scoring

[signal frigate]

It's not a surprise, it's the biggest jump in difficulty

[blissful cedar]

Nova bus goes hard
Alexa play nova by MPH...

[west hemlock]

I know I jus don’t like it 💔

[signal frigate]

You'll get through it, advice is purple and blue seals are fairly strong, use them

Blue seals allow you to consistently level up your desired hand

[proper turtle]

beginner here, won white stake red through green on both mobile and pc but been stuck on black deck for a while

[signal frigate]

Purple seals can potentially give you money

[signal frigate]

I recommend putting that off for a bit and go play a different easier deck

[blissful cedar]

Getting a blue seal is one thing, pulling it out ur deck is another, and ending the round with the right hand is a 3rd thing

[signal frigate]

It's not that hard

You've got jokers to win with your desired hand

[blissful cedar]

Don't run from black deck, its probably the hardest deck but you have to manage your deck synergies and this will teach you that

[signal frigate]

And you can thin your deck out until you can consistently pull it

[eternal anchor]

This run was kind of insane

[signal frigate]

Or just dupe it

[signal frigate]

Oops all rental

[eternal anchor]

nice, immediately given Hanging Chad and it's also rental

[blissful cedar]

Looks crazy

[signal frigate]

I summoned it from existence

[blissful cedar]

What is your vamp at?

[signal frigate]

It says right there

[blissful cedar]

Pretty bonkers

[eternal anchor]

I've never had Vampire that high before

[karmic jetty]

Got it first shop lol

[signal frigate]

Ngl, that is kinda underwhelming for ante 9

But it's vamp

[blissful cedar]

Getting vamp value is vamp value

[signal frigate]

Absolutely

[proper turtle]

I did clear ante 7 few runs back but a misclick and was done by the big blind, very frustrating

[eternal anchor]

Every single card I score scales Vampire because of Pareidolia and Midas Mask

[signal frigate]

Just saying this proves how weak it is compared to others

It's still an Xmult so

It's scaling speed doesn't matter if you got it to 3x

[karmic jetty]

I finally got Midas and vamp together this week

[proper turtle]

ic, will prolly do some red blue deck runs and then come back

[karmic jetty]

Ante 3 with no base mult lol died by ante 4

[signal frigate]

Plant would've been a dangerous bossblind but you have Vamp as insurance anyways

[blissful cedar]

I mess up like that too playing too fast sometimes, it happens, just take a sec to confirm every now and then

[signal frigate]

That's the game telling you that even the strongest builds can die to one thing

[blissful cedar]

The wrong boss blind has fucked me over so many times

[signal frigate]

You can score trillions ad then it only takes one bossblind to shut it down, or a bad draw

[tranquil cargo]

if a build can score trillions one round and die to bad draws the next round, it's not a strong build

[proper turtle]

face cards builds can be dead by the boss blind which disables them

[vale wharf]

Statistically, what's the worst boss blind?
Also, is the violet vessel the only boss that's an upgrade of another boss?

[tepid skiff]

should this be a free win on golden needle?

[tranquil cargo]

below black stake, crimson heart is an upgrade over verdant leaf

[obsidian patrol]

Probably

Just make sure to notice suit debuffing bosses

[vale wharf]

Why, how does black stake affect that?

[lunar zealot]

Eh

If you're smart you can edge a win out easily

[tranquil cargo]

if none of your jokers are eternal, you can always sell the one you need the least (i.e. the one you'd hope for crimson heart to negate)

[lunar zealot]

Rule number 1 of balatro is don't be stupid

Everything else comes naturally if you're not a moron

[eternal anchor]

being stupid is fun though

[vale wharf]

I always generate copious amounts of money, don't spend any of it and lose 😭

[lunar zealot]

That's stupid

no offense

Like i do not mean to insult you

[vale wharf]

That's my point

[lunar zealot]

But that is stupid

[vale wharf]

None taken

[tepid skiff]

3rd try golden needle btw

[lunar zealot]

Careful

overconfidence kills

[vale wharf]

...I'm so confused

[lunar zealot]

golden needle challenge

[vale wharf]

What's that?

[lunar zealot]

1 hand per round

7 discards

[vale wharf]

Oh

[lunar zealot]

discarding costs money

[eternal anchor]

you start with $10 and get 6 discards

[hasty harness]

recipe for success 💀

[lunar zealot]

careful

[vale wharf]

What a start 🤑

[hasty harness]

free win lol

[obsidian patrol]

amber acorn is such a joke

[vale wharf]

You don't know me

Are scaling jokers statistically the best jokers in the game? (consider rarity)

[obsidian patrol]

Money jokers are the best jokers in the game

[tranquil cargo]

I thought copy jokers were considered the best jokers in the game?

[eternal anchor]

I'm up to exactly 1,000 Joker stickers now

[hasty harness]

id say so tbh

[hasty harness]

depends on the situation

[obsidian patrol]

Copy jokers need jokers to copy

[still tapir]

2ND TRY balatroodle

[proper turtle]

which one's the best? golden joker give a constant 4 and cloud 9 is broken on a 9s deck

[obsidian patrol]

I would say most consistently its mail n rebate

[hasty harness]

rebate probably

but once again depends

[proper turtle]

yeah, rebate is really good

[thick mountain]

I FINALLY DID ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[tepid skiff]

GUYS WHAT DO I DO AHHHHHH

[tranquil cargo]

-nan? is that modded?

[thick mountain]

I use handy and a couple of other quality of life mods.

and the one that makes the shop say soup instead lol.

[hasty harness]

no its naninf

[obsidian patrol]

No

[hasty harness]

its a score above like e308

[obsidian patrol]

Thats the scoring limit in balatro

[tranquil cargo]

not the score, the blind requirement

[obsidian patrol]

Reached in ante 39

[thick mountain]

At ante 39 the scoring requirement is also no longer a recognizable number.

[tranquil cargo]

normally ante 39 says nan, but this one says -nan

[obsidian patrol]

I dont think so

[thick mountain]

Oh yeah not sure why I noticed that too.

In doc's video it is nan not -nan

[obsidian patrol]

Hmmm

[tranquil cargo]

I suspect it's because of steamodded

[vale wharf]

Does it trigger gold cards too? We don't play them, so...

[thick mountain]

Yeah same. First time I hit naneinf I never used any mods and then after learning about handy sometimes I would score -nan

[tranquil cargo]

no, you need golden ticket to get money from sock with gold cards

[tepid skiff]

NOOOOOOOO IM SCARED

[vale wharf]

What does golden ticket do?

[obsidian patrol]

4 dollars per gold card scpred

[tranquil cargo]

+$4 when scoring a gold card

[vale wharf]

Ohhh

[tepid skiff]

you were right water got me...

[lunar zealot]

I TOLD YOU BRO

[proper turtle]

holy

[lunar zealot]

BE CAREFUL

[tranquil cargo]

got anything worth duping?

[lunar zealot]

Really really bad negative skip ngl

How are you ante 3 round 4

[obsidian patrol]

wow you can now copy

Nothing of value

[terse vale]

[proper turtle]

seeing a negative turns off my brain, you GOTTA skip

[tepid skiff]

what was I supposed to against the water but a singular pluto level wouldv'e been enough because I got 47,000 out of 70,000 from a high card😭 😭

[lunar zealot]

Suit changer tarot

[tranquil cargo]

a single pluto would've been enough, are you sure about that?

[lunar zealot]

no not really

[vale wharf]

Should I sell Midas atp?

[tepid skiff]

yes I had no chips and double the chips is double the score and I was less than 30k off

[lunar zealot]

Only reason to keep midas at this point is speculative midas for a potential vampire pivot

[vale wharf]

Oh god

[lunar zealot]

Otherwise sell it

[vale wharf]

That's brilliant

[unreal island]

nah sell the run

[vale wharf]

Wait, is vampire S tier because of this?

[unreal island]

vampire is ok tier

[signal frigate]

Buy both then the voucher

[lunar zealot]

Vampire is not

great

It is essentially a free win exodia if you get midas

[signal frigate]

It's not great but it's not awful either

[vale wharf]

So... B?

[vernal bay]

Ugh, I hate nebula deck

[unreal island]

more like a high c

[vale wharf]

I c

[unreal island]

maybe low b

[signal frigate]

Xmult is still xmult, always

[vernal bay]

Vampire is C tier

[tepid skiff]

I tried to find that but with 50 dollars but I couldn't I guess golden needle is the hardest challenge for a reason BUT WHY DID HAVE TO BE WATER ON ANTE 7

FALSE HOPE

[signal frigate]

Cruelty for me was

[vernal bay]

It scales too slowly for literally never being able to be turned off

[unreal island]

i hate golden needle

[vernal bay]

Hardest challenge was jokerless

[signal frigate]

You're blaming a joker for working as intended?

[vernal bay]

I got cruelty first try

[terse gyro]

im going insane, i spent about 4 hrs just now playing da game and i havent seen the two jokers i need show up in the shop for C++

[signal frigate]

Not for me, it became really fun

[vernal bay]

Yes!

That's why Vampire sucks!

[signal frigate]

It's a new way to play the game

[unreal island]

best way to play the game is to have fun

[signal frigate]

And challenge decks are always white stake so

It's easier than you'd think

My highest on Jokerless was 13mil from a glass polychrome Ace

[unreal iron]

me when i lie

vampire is in the big 3 of uncommon xmult scaling

[vale wharf]

It's beautiful
(my game is a bit bugged, it's not showing the req score)

[lunar zealot]

Nowhere near that

[signal frigate]

It's the slowest

[unreal island]

they should allow soul cards in jokerless for the sole purpose of laughing at you when you get one bc u can't use it (you dont have room)

[unreal iron]

i mean it can potentially scale faster than const

[signal frigate]

You can still get Blank for some godforsaken reason

[unreal iron]

potentially

[tepid skiff]

jokerless is easier than golden needle not being able to find jokers means you find more planets and tarot cards you just need to know how to deck fix but GOLDEN NEEDLE IS JUST CRUEL

[unreal iron]

antimatter :3

[signal frigate]

Constellation is deceivingly fast

[vernal bay]

Except that glass, gold, and steel are all amazing and often worth more than .1x mult

[unreal island]

not to mention wof is still in the tarot pool

[signal frigate]

It seems very slow at first

[obsidian patrol]

Meet Potential Scaler!

[vernal bay]

Golden needle took me two tries

[unreal iron]

just dont feed gold and steel to vamp?

[obsidian patrol]

"Has the potential to scale faster than const"

[signal frigate]

Ah yes, an extra joker slot for a challenge specifically where you are not allowed to use jokers

[tranquil cargo]

golden needle took me 6 tries, the first 5 died to the water

[obsidian patrol]

Always if and when butn ever is

[tranquil cargo]

that said, I hate jokerless more

[signal frigate]

It doesn't

It's fuckin slow

[unreal iron]

did not know the context

[vernal bay]

And lucky cards are great

[signal frigate]

I'd take Constellation over Vamp but it used to be my boy

[vernal bay]

And even bonus cards and stone are pretty good

[unreal iron]

vamp can still work imo

[unreal iron]

i think anyone would

but if vamp is the only thing you find, and early?

[signal frigate]

The midas combo is extremely fun

[unreal iron]

you might as well

[vernal bay]

The only thing I don't feel bad about feeding to vamp is empress cards

[signal frigate]

I was hoping there'd be a way to retrigger it's sucking effect

That would make it even faster

Suddenly getting one entire mult to 1.5x if you get it to retrigger 3 times

[tranquil cargo]

midas, vamp, second midas, second vamp

[vernal bay]

And you still need to play the hands to suck off the enhacements

[tranquil cargo]

does that actually work?

[vale wharf]

Swashbuckler for Australia is the play here, right?

[signal frigate]

They work independently, and you only need one midas

[vale wharf]

Abstract

Not frekin Australia

[signal frigate]

A second one is pointless

[signal frigate]

Land down under joker is a pirate

[hasty harness]

got splash and glass joker done

[unreal iron]

whos australia?

[hasty harness]

stickers go brrrr

[signal frigate]

And idk man, Abstract's number seems smaller than Swashy

[unreal iron]

if its abstract then yeah why not

[vale wharf]

Abstracttt

[ember turtle]

australia???

[vale wharf]

Abstractttttt

[ember turtle]

lmao

[unreal iron]

im calling abstract australia now

thank you

[ember turtle]

yeah i'd say so

[signal frigate]

I call Canio Kanye West

[unreal iron]

deaaaaaath card

hermie

[ember turtle]

we all know what the burglar is called actually

[signal frigate]

Burger

[unreal iron]

burger

[ember turtle]

burger

[signal frigate]

Or bungo

I call it bungo

[vale wharf]

Ok 😭

Took me way too long to realise that playing full house doesn't trigger it

[unreal iron]

well your autocorrect shouldnt have messed up

[vernal bay]

Which deck should I gold stake next?

[unreal iron]

it doesnt?

[signal frigate]

No it will

[unreal iron]

anaglyph

(suffering)

[signal frigate]

A full house contains three oak

[vale wharf]

Huh, then why did my 3oak score higher than my FH?

[signal frigate]

That's why Duo Trio works

[unreal iron]

planet levels?

[vernal bay]

That's probably gonna be my c++ grinder

[signal frigate]

Your hand level is lower

[vernal bay]

But fine

[unreal iron]

oh then hop on zodiac

[signal frigate]

Pay attention to the jokers and see if they trigger

[vale wharf]

I didn't upgrade anything
I will have to pay more attention now

[unreal iron]

average balatro player

either not enough attention to the run or cant read :3

i have fallen victim to smeared joker

[hasty harness]

erm

[vernal bay]

FUCK YOU JIMBO

[unreal iron]

i lost a run because i played diamonds with SPADES

[vernal bay]

FUCK YOU

[signal frigate]

Me when bigger number = bigger number

[unreal iron]

a PERFECTLY WINNABLE RUN

[unreal iron]

credit card go next

[signal frigate]

I'd still take that popcorn

That's money right there

[eternal anchor]

debt runs are not fun

taking Credit Card and going into debt makes it really hard to climb out of it

[signal frigate]

It works well with Campfire Vagabond actually

[eternal anchor]

both of those are rare

[signal frigate]

You focus on seals and never the shops

And you got yourself a broke run that can actually fucking win goldstake

[signal frigate]

The point is if you get them, the rarity don't matter when you have the right jokers anyways

They do as they intended and more

[unreal iron]

at least with vagabond you can get your money back almost guaranteed due to temperance existing

and the absolute insane amount of potential devils and stuff

[signal frigate]

You don't even need the money back

You kinda wanna be in debt

[unreal iron]

true

[signal frigate]

So Vagabond works overtime

And then you just focus on as much Purple and Blue seals as you can to keep feeding Campfire

[unreal iron]

you also kinda wanna be able to afford celestial packs/standard packs if theyre any

or reroll a bit for a better joker

[signal frigate]

The plan is to not buy them as much

[unreal iron]

almost 100 stickers in and i still havent done runner btw

which is insane

[vale wharf]

I lost the run 😔

What's runner?

[signal frigate]

15 chips for every straight played

[orchid comet]

hello

[eternal anchor]

I still haven't gold stickered Stuntman..

[orchid comet]

I thought #🎙・server-chat was game discussion :/

[honest tiger]

hey guys

[orchid comet]

do I go for pairs, two pair, high card or some other higher hand to upgrade with burnt joker?

like for flush upgrade I'd only need one more diamond

[eternal anchor]

What I've noticed with server chat is that it's more chill than here

[orchid comet]

and I'm using my hands as discard anyways cuz of rtb

[signal frigate]

Pairs are easier and they're more likely to not kill your bus

[orchid comet]

so upgrade pair every round?

[signal frigate]

Pretty much

It is pretty much the strongest hand in the game

[orchid comet]

alright I'll go hope for duo

[orchid comet]

woah flush five is pretty strong too

you barely need +mult if it's upgraded

[signal frigate]

Thats not what makes a hand strong

[unreal iron]

out of all the rares i need AJ

[orchid comet]

consistency?

[signal frigate]

Scale wise, obviously, five card hands will be bigger but

[unreal iron]

it never pops up

[signal frigate]

You're already on the right track

[unreal iron]

its always perishable rental

[signal frigate]

Pairs are easily spammable, don't overscore much and pretty much allows every build to work

[orchid comet]

yeah but I was thinking more late game, but I get what you're trying to say

[orchid comet]

yeah that makes a lot of sense

[signal frigate]

You can run literally whatever the fuck you want with Pairs

That's why it wins alot of Gold Stake runs

[signal frigate]

Pairs will still be better

But in the context of Endless which is pretty much pointless

I guess you can say Flush Five is better

[orchid comet]

I'm winning with 2 pairs and 1 ace high 😭

it does score a lot after just two upgrades

oh that's with rtb mult though

[signal frigate]

If you wanna make it even higher, go grab a blue seal

And keep drawing and duping that blue seal

[orchid comet]

sounds awesome

[signal frigate]

It's Green Joker but you can't play Face cards

[orchid comet]

incantation or talisman

didn't get a standard pack I got spectral

[signal frigate]

Talisman, always

[orchid comet]

with incan wouldn't I get more cards to pair with

[signal frigate]

Money is nice

[hasty harness]

sixth sense marble and arrowhead gold stickered

🤑

[signal frigate]

You kinda want better chances to draw your pairs, go kill your face cards so RTB survives

[orchid comet]

I have been killing face cards

killed 4

total 8 faces in the deck rn

[balmy ridge]

mmm

is perkeo observatory the most consistent method to get ante 39?

[round fox]

died ante 7 3k off from winning and all i had to do was survive this one blind

[signal frigate]

The easiest way

The more excruciatingly long way is to serpent farm

[orchid comet]

greed

[obsidian patrol]

well no cause you need perkeo

[balmy ridge]

yeah obviously

i mean if you have it

[tranquil cargo]

perkeo observatory can't actually naneinf by itself (even with copiers)

[balmy ridge]

that involves skipping small+big blind then retcon for serpent?

[signal frigate]

Yeah

[balmy ridge]

shrimpteresting

[eternal anchor]

holy money

[signal frigate]

It'll be way easier

You need at the bare minimum, 4 copy jokers

[round fox]

if i didnt sell my card sharp in exchange for hologram (with no standard packs in shop) i woulda won

[signal frigate]

And as early as ante 1

Ante 39 is very hard to reach

[tranquil cargo]

if your goal is just ante 39, no naneinf, then mr. bones glitch is probably the most reliable method

[signal frigate]

You're gonna be transcending space and time

The legit way is serpent farming

[signal frigate]

If you didn't pass the Scavenger toll, you would still have your kids

[tranquil cargo]

how do you handle ante 32?

[signal frigate]

An insane amount of luck.

[balmy ridge]

lol

[signal frigate]

24 and 32 is usually where your run stops

[tranquil cargo]

maybe that's the 2026 update: adds a new showdown blind called the snake, it's just serpent but you only draw 2

[obsidian patrol]

Thats it

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[obsidian patrol]

Thats the entire update

[round fox]

too far

[obsidian patrol]

Just that one boss blin

[serene forge]

you probably should've taken a better tag

[tranquil cargo]

the only problem is localthunk would have to go back in time and convince an ancient civilization to add another letter to their alphabet

[round fox]

i had one run with anaglyph deck where i just never skipped till ante 8, then took that one tag where u get 25 shmucks for beating the boss

and i got sooo much money

[serene forge]

yep that's a good tag

[stable jolt]

thoughts on taking the ouija

[orchid comet]

I need to try that with rare or negative tag

[orchid comet]

lmao

do it

[round fox]

everytime i try, i die the next round

its so sad

:c

take negative with the upgraded version of overstock then you can take 4 negative jokers i think per shop

i might be wrong tho

[orchid comet]

I think you're right

[obsidian patrol]

If you dont get any planets or tarots

[orchid comet]

doesn't it stay empty then use the tag and then the joker appears

[obsidian patrol]

Yeah

[vernal bay]

EZ PZ

[stable jolt]

i lost to the needle

[ornate kestrel]

Should I sell my constellations before popping invis joker? I think it would kill me because I currently only score about e11, which is the boss blind score this ante. I only have 8 hand size too

[proven gulch]

another run killed by violet vessel 😢

[ornate kestrel]

I think I stole all of your jokers

[jagged torrent]

Nah twin you got this frfr

[stable glacier]

you have 11 hands

[lunar zealot]

WHAT THE FUCK IS BRO DOINGGGG

[stable glacier]

why is everyone playing n++

cool game but this is a balatro server

[hardy fable]

guaranteed with me myself and I

[ornate kestrel]

Does anyone know if an extra baron/mime would be better than the 2 constellations, or should I wait until I find something juicy in the shop before pivoting? My deck is fixed to the point I can get 7 steel kings, but they don’t have red seals. High card is lvl 25

[opal elbow]

Can we get a count of lesser bananas you might have known, for context?

[ripe sleet]

smelly!!!! awful!!!

[merry cliff]

whats lesser banana

all banana are created equal

[ripe sleet]

nvm this bitch ass too

[opal elbow]

Should I post my new record of blind 32? Surely everyone is very interested! Oops, I mean round 32. I got two full flush house fivers in a row. Love to teach you all

[ripe sleet]

yes

[merry cliff]

just send it

what am i gonna do

I heard that if you match the new score requirements, bananas are comped

Free bananas or I quit the game

you guys have any good knock knock jokes

Plums would be nice

Maybe a tongue-in-cheek video for how to beat the 4th BOSS BLIND?

i replayed undertale recently so I got a couple

[ripe sleet]

have you not gotten past ante 4?

[merry cliff]

lets hear it

I thought it was such a balanced game before hearing about NEWNARRRRIIFF

Balatro is a hard game if you're new

you're meant to say job application who

i dont appriciate your humor

its like saying the n word

[ripe sleet]

[opal elbow]

Is there room inside BALATRO for a socialism that succeed, in spite of Austrian Economic Theory??? Deeper shit

[merry cliff]

would you say the n word?

[lunar zealot]

I mean if you think about it

raised fist is pretty communist

[merry cliff]

some mf on this discord server tried convicing me that housing is a scam over a discussion about credit card joker

[opal elbow]

Is the N-Word "narcissist"? If so, I would NEVER

[opal elbow]

Either way, it seems like N-wordism isn't the solution.

[merry cliff]

Neither is J-slurism

[ripe sleet]

one of my old housemates refused to work because it was taking resources away from indigineous people (I live in aus)

[merry cliff]

hes based

If there were an N-word in Balatro, I would say it for xMult no question

not w*rking and all

BTW I got a Royal Flush once in the game, despite the complete statistcal impossibilities

did you play it or discard it

[opal elbow]

Cheating at poker never rewarded me this much

[merry cliff]

[orchid comet]

you should play it (definitely not the opposite!!)

I hung the man before discard-playing it

invite me to the lust server i wanna join

idk what that means but you should discard the next one you get

I'm not as fast on the keys as all you youngsters, so please pardon the lack of personal attention to each reply, please

[ripe sleet]

hmm.... old......

[merry cliff]

ok unc

[eager lynx]

chat ive killed many, many runs. and i dont wish this one to die. ZERO deck fixing or levels so far, what do i do?

[ripe sleet]

ice cream is your weakest link so replace asap, are you using a particular hand type?

[orchid comet]

sell ice cream for rebate

[shell current]

Oh yeah because austria is currently such a great economic power

[eager lynx]

im not im just trying my best. i have ONE full house level and thats it

thank you

[orchid comet]

rebate is awesome with brainstorm

[orchid comet]

ante 4? Try to change stuff a little

deck fix or get planet cards

one or the other

[opal elbow]

My stoned-af delighted responses in teh course of discovering the game were met here with a sarcastic-yet-informative response, which only advanced my game and was helpful in this case

[ripe sleet]

valid, if you start deck fixing I'd pile on face cards and try to make them one suit, flushes are a bit more reliable than full houses - after you get a good source of chips, I'd seek a xMult card

[opal elbow]

So I came back to thank you all

[ripe sleet]

ah. millenial old.

[opal elbow]

GENC++

[vernal bay]

I mean, do I do it?

It would be really funny

[ripe sleet]

may as well

[orchid comet]

YESS

you don't even have much scaling cards

[vernal bay]

Lmao

[opal elbow]

I heard the best way to approach it is super-casual

[orchid comet]

approach what

[orchid comet]

oh my I didn't know ur two pair was that high

W

[opal elbow]

Like WOW I got to Round 24 wtc

[orchid comet]

worth it

[opal elbow]

Debunking Austrian economic theory by saying Austria lost is a very weak argument, unless I am misinformed

[eager lynx]

sell rebate?

[vernal bay]

EZ PZ

[opal elbow]

Does or does not the game have a political point to make? Seems worth considering

Also I just wanted you all to know that I felt like a real man of the people during the 15-minute city challenge. Very Eugenecist overall

[ripe sleet]

the game instructs you to both consolidate and maintain power or perish, but that's the extent of any politick; a brief flash of Machiavellianism then consumed by the furious desire to gamba

and that's really only if you look for it - if you grasp at straws, you might grab one

[opal elbow]

We will like the first ROYAL FLUSH that is posted. Our team has proved mathematically that no-one could ever post one, so there is that to carry us through the criticism

[eager lynx]

so.. sell rebate?

or not

im going for face cards ofc

[opal elbow]

This is more answer than I expected and I thank you

[ripe sleet]

I read the prince recently so it's on the brain

[opal elbow]

Seems like there are topic we could handle here if not on the TempleOS discord

[ripe sleet]

sell rebate, all 6's will make your face card deck wayyy more economic

[shell current]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[ripe sleet]

haha what

LMAO

[opal elbow]

TempleOS joke went too far, self-censored

If only we could all do that

[eager lynx]

misclicked an extra hand chat
