There's a translation error here after the dot it doesn't capitalize the next sentence
winged vault
Hmm is the dracula joker good
depends on the situation. With Vampire joker, there's a clear growth stop with that if Vampire sucked off all the enhanced cards
a way you can mitigate that is if you have Midas Mask
Midas Mask makes all face cards played become gold. So, you play it, it turns face cards gold, then Vampire does its thing and then scores
tardy solar
Not gonna bother then
winged vault
Not gonna bother then
yeah. Vampire is one of those jokers were it's situational
as most jokers tbh

I'm assuming you're new to Balatro, right?
tardy solar
Yeag
winged vault
My advice is to play loads of runs
tardy solar
Like with all rogue likes ye
winged vault
Also, money is important
tardy solar
Slowly getting the hang of it after failing miserably 90 times
winged vault
Always keep money left over in intervals of $5
tardy solar
And then taking that one decision in autopilot that ruined the best run ever
winged vault
And if you have more than $25, like $50, don't go down lower than $25
winged vault
Slowly getting the hang of it after failing miserably 90 times
you'll get those eureka moments more often that not

I just entered the server, and I'm going to ask a question that probably everyone already knows, but that Google ai is answering wrongly, I think. Does the Idol joker HAVE to switch cards if it can? Like if I have 50 4 of clubs, and 2 ace of clubs, and i just had the idol on 4 of clubs, does it have to choose ace of clubs before it goes back to 4 of clubs rather than a random chance based on your deck? I say this because I was taking too long getting my deck down to just 4 of clubs.

I don't think it's RNG. I had 60 4 of clubs and only 20 max of anything else, and it consistently went back and forth between rounds of 4 of clubs and something else.

I dont think thats actually the case i think thats because this is the balatro chat on discord
lunar zealot
again though most challenges are fine?
marsh needle
-w-
tame cobalt
I would have beaten golden needle by now if not for some bs boss blind rng
manic zealot
yeah some are downright piss easy
marsh needle
i havent tried needle but it sounds unfun
lunar zealot
again though most challenges are fine?
some are hard but the fact it's white stake is a huuuuge boon
because hard challenges can just be cheesed with straights
lunar zealot
because hard challenges can just be cheesed with straights
cruelty? Straights
jokerless? Straights
tame cobalt
I kinda wish some of the challenges were higher stakes
lunar zealot
golden needle? Straights
acoustic kettle
I want stakes in challenges
manic zealot
I kinda wish some of the challenges were higher stakes
I'd rather not have to face the golden needle on gold stake
lunar zealot
I would 
tame cobalt
jokerless? Straights
There's a joke in there somewhere but I'm too tired to think of one
lunar zealot
im built differnet
lunar zealot
There's a joke in there somewhere but I'm too tired to think of one
because all jokers are GAY
they are LESBIANS and they KISS
tame cobalt
I'd rather not have to face the golden needle on gold stake
Nah f that I mean some of the simpler ones
lunar zealot
there's your joke idk
proper bronze
im built differnet
me when i tell the truth
manic zealot
Nah f that I mean some of the simpler ones
that oops one would be silly
acoustic kettle
I do wish we have a custom challenge
manic zealot
you can win without really trying
glass is just that good
tame cobalt
I wish more of the challenges were like fragile or knifes edge or bram poker
Those are the best ones imo
lunar zealot
there are 2 types of challenges
marsh needle
they are LESBIANS and they KISS
Even the credit card? 😨
manic zealot
ooh I loved bram poker
lunar zealot
"get to know this specific joker" or "fuck you"
tame cobalt
There's a third
acoustic kettle
Mmlete
tame cobalt
There's a category that's some really basic modifier that's really easy cuz it's white stake and nothing else
lunar zealot
Mmlete
category 1
egg showcase
and to an extent the swasher
And to another extent dagger
acoustic kettle
Temperance showcase
lunar zealot
tame cobalt
Like typecast or nonperishable are really easy
marsh needle
double or nothing is category 2
Just get matador bro easy 
proper bronze
i beat fragile in 8 rounds btw
lunar zealot
Like typecast or nonperishable are really easy
they're meant to be fuck you
manic zealot
omelette may genuinely be my fav one
acoustic kettle
Typecast is easy because white stake
tame cobalt
they're *meant* to be fuck you
They don't feel it
manic zealot
it's a unique twist to managing your money
lunar zealot
omelette may genuinely be my fav one
i ended up fully cheesing my only omelette run by getting 3 copies of triboulet
tame cobalt
I think I literally did jokerless in like 4 tries
acoustic kettle
Triboulet run for jokerless
manic zealot
I think I literally did jokerless in like 4 tries
you got hardened from golden needle
tame cobalt
I was hot off the presses of fragile so I just did some glass card business
tame cobalt
you got hardened from golden needle
No I'm still doing that shit lmao I saved it for last
manic zealot
oh right
I'm weird and must always do things in order
even if it means bashing my head against a wall
tame cobalt
I think I literally did cruelty in 2 tries
marsh needle

latent egret

3oak is under appreciated
tiny bramble
I want high card naninf
tiny bramble
!!!!! congrats!
tiny bramble
Last year around this time I had a really bad lung infection from my pneumonia, really really really tough 3 weeks and super rough recovery, Balatro helped me a lot during that time
am forever grateful to thunk
tiny bramble
ig we're doing high card again this run
its peolly my autism but i love when runs kinda set themselves up like this
manic zealot
dude my autism too
jagged valve
Hello
manic zealot
I only just found out well into adulthood and everyone in my life was unsurprised lmao
mental bloom
Why is everyone here autistic (i am too)
Balatro
manic zealot
because balatro number big brrr + special interest = naneinf
tiny bramble
I only just found out well into adulthood and everyone in my life was unsurprise...
I had the SAME experience like 5 years ago im 32 everyone in my life was like “Yup!!”
jagged valve
True...
jagged valve
because balatro number big brrr + special interest = naneinf
I never got unseeded naneinf
🥹
tiny bramble
unseeded as well!?
jagged valve
U got naneinf yesterday?
manic zealot
I did
jagged valve
Congrats!
manic zealot
thx
tiny bramble
crazy accomplishment
jagged valve
I actually didn't even complete the game yet
manic zealot
everything had to line up

- serpent + burglar
tiny bramble
Baron is so good my gAWD
mental bloom
+ serpent + burglar
ah, of course, so no cryptid and perkeo
jagged valve
Wait where does burglar come in?
dire crater
Hello
manic zealot
if you're going for the serpent boss to increase hand size
for the naneinf baron mime
mental bloom
For The Serpent, you have more hands so you can have a bigger hand
jagged valve
Oh wait im DUMB yeah
mental bloom
Dw lol
tiny bramble
hand go brrrrrrr
manic zealot
usually you need to use perko + observatory
jagged valve
But what if u have the recycling vouchers
manic zealot
but this is a workaround that doesn't require a legendary
manic zealot
with copy jokers (I had 4) my hands went to 20
latent egret
I want high card naninf
there is no other reliable way to naneinf
jagged valve
OH
latent egret
maybe you could dupe s&b and idol with ankhs and ectos but that takes an even more specific lucky run
jagged valve
surprsingly, diet cola is quite important to naneinf
Why?
manic zealot
so you can use the double tags on voucher skips to get the vouchers necessary to the run
latent egret
vouchers make or break runs
mental bloom
so you can use the double tags on voucher skips to get the vouchers necessary to...
ohhhhh
manic zealot
absolutely
latent egret
its more than half the rng tbh
manic zealot
my run would have been impossible without the retcon voucher
and I got absurdly lucky with early overstock and even a pre-ante 8 antimatter
mental bloom
damnnnn
latent egret
if you aint got boss reroll ante 12 press r
mental bloom
lol real
manic zealot
I also found a natural negative facless joker that printed me lots of money and actually contributed a decent amount
mental bloom
truly
manic zealot
showman
mental bloom
the goat
manic zealot
for ultimate rng
jagged valve
Gl
manic zealot
cuz a naneinf run is not truly possible without at least 3 copy jokers, probably 4
jagged valve
Imma hop later
manic zealot
alr imma hop on Balatro wish me luck
best of luck!

invis joker!!!
manic zealot
whoa
mental bloom
and a pareidolia
obsidian patrol
Aint nobody using a pareidolia
manic zealot
if you got room for the pareidolia you could hold onto it and hope the game gives you something worthwhile
mental bloom
yeeah imma do that
lunar zealot
parei is. Fine.
mental bloom
lunar zealot
it's good for specifically reserved parking and faceless
manic zealot
you can just sell it when you inevtitably encounter the plant or the mark
obsidian patrol
Oh right canio
Its not that good with canio
manic zealot
canio + trading card + pareidolia is one of the silliest combos I ever got, cuz it needed so many cards to get going
but it worked
mental bloom
I might not have enough scoring to make it through :(
lunar zealot
You are correct but only in the sense that pareidolia offers nothing on its own
manic zealot
yeah the family is a bit rough to have to work around that early
lunar zealot
parei eliminates the threat of running out of face cards and is a massive boon for econ in that sense
since you spend less time using death and strength
mental bloom
okay I lost
lunar zealot
and more time hanging men
manic zealot
speak of the fucking devil
mental bloom
lets go again
proper bronze
dude why am i feeling trippy
manic zealot
and I'm doing high cards lmao
mental bloom
yeah and I have no eternals
manic zealot
although it is harder to work with if you're below black stake cuz no eternals
yeah
obsidian patrol
Yeah but you can get by with only madness on like black stake or lower
manic zealot
it's true
obsidian patrol
What
mental bloom
Jimbo
manic zealot
no he'll cut you
obsidian patrol
That is not what i was whatting
mental bloom
That is not what i was whatting
my mistake
mental bloom
no he'll cut you
wait i'm at a boss it wont destroy
manic zealot
madness just scales so damn well you can deal with the joker constantly killing your jokers
mental bloom
should I take director's cut
mental bloom

manic zealot
if you're at the end of the ante right before the boss then yes

Why would you do this if you cant have jokers
mental bloom

manic zealot
and you can still use jokers into boss blinds

holo 🤤
latent egret
whats the most underrated joker in the game for yall
manic zealot
very good question
latent egret
im not even gonna say obelisk cause its more overhated by newer players, and well rated by the gold stake streakers
manic zealot
I gotta think about that
manic zealot
red card is up there
lunar zealot
People fucking hate red card
manic zealot
it scales so well
latent egret
red card got the same issue as obelisk
obsidian patrol
whats the most underrated joker in the game for yall
8 ball
latent egret
in terms of the community
lunar zealot
consistently undervalued all the time by the proles
manic zealot
one I persoanlly overhated for a long time until I became a better player was dusk
latent egret
its kinda like red carsd in the way hat it makes you hedge your losses
like if you dont want a glass card to break and it does its still .75x
mental bloom
dusk is peak
proper bronze
i love all easy scaling plus mult jokers such as red card ride the or something
manic zealot
yeah glass is definitely solid
ancient deserves a mention for underrated jokers for me
mental bloom
early Immolate is so good
obsidian patrol
ancient deserves a mention for underrated jokers for me
Ok now we just saying anything

ancient deserves a mention for underrated jokers for me
sadly gets f-ed by suit debuffs
manic zealot
just build around flush and keep all your suits equal
obsidian patrol

the ever so trusty skip button
manic zealot
ohh I absolutely hated acrobat as a new player, now I adore it
it's amazing in gold stake
latent egret
the ever so trusty skip button
makes ity more unlikely but not impossible
it can get to a 50:50 for the boss
obsidian patrol
makes ity more unlikely but not impossible
You can literally negate all suit bosses by skipping?
Like
100% chance
proper bronze
skipping bosses??
obsidian patrol
skipping bosses??
No skipping blinds
obsidian patrol
all you have to see is what your aj is on, look at the suit debuff boss and see if you should skip
mental bloom
I'm pivoting
manic zealot
most underrated joker might actually be square for me
obsidian patrol
all you have to see is what your aj is on, look at the suit debuff boss and see ...
This is not some unknown tech
manic zealot
he's helped me through many copium runs I barely managed to win on gold stake
cuz he scales slowly but reliably
mental bloom
i got obelisk and dna in my shop
latent egret
make the right decision
still raven
lol I just had a silly anaglyph run
mental bloom
ohhhhh
latent egret
then play the biggest hand you can
still raven
or rather, just keep switching it up after you get a solid 10+ played of your most played hand
obsidian patrol
Thats bait
mental bloom
definitely
still raven
obelisk can be tricky, you really want to play a variety of hands so you don't get a new most played
manic zealot
lol I just had a silly anaglyph run
looks like someone took the negative skip lmao

yes, the best hand to play lots of and then pivot out of later is pairs
mental bloom
early blank btw
manic zealot
maybe the rng gods will bless you with an early antimatter
still raven
yes, the best hand to play lots of and then pivot out of later is pairs
I agree, I meant after pivoting, you don't want to always do the Biggest Possible Hand, you want to switch it up
