[past nebula]

I gotta say, even if its not in top 5 pick rate, throwback and hologram are one of my fav jokers to use and build if i get the chance

[terse vale]

though the losses are probably due to me not playing my cards well enough literally

[solemn sonnet]

hologram is SUCH a good joker

its not that good but like

i just love using it

its not that hard to scale up and the xmult becomes pretty big in just a few rounds

[amber robin]

My fav joker of all time, defintely the man the myth the LEGEND, cavendish

[sinful plaza]

the only times I've gotten canio are at the end of runs and when I don't need it

[amber robin]

Mhm

[wintry ice]

considering that small hands are the meta

[past nebula]

Yes!!! I enjoy it so much

[wintry ice]

hologram's downside doesn't matter as much

[coarse silo]

Yeah but it means that a lot more runs end up dying early

[amber robin]

I remember i ran a seeded run with hologram, got that boy to 20X

[solemn sonnet]

it's also so goated with the playing trick voucher i think or whatever its called

[terse vale]

illusion !

[coarse silo]

Illusion is rarer than double brainstorm

[past nebula]

Something i do like about throwback, is that even before it appears to you, it gains multX

[solemn sonnet]

my favorite joker is likely either hologram or swashbuckler

[past nebula]

And when you grab it and have skipped a bit, you already have it pretty charged with Xmult

[past nebula]

Eggswash goated build

[solemn sonnet]

i like swashbuckler because its pretty good mult in early-mid game and if you get egg it's gonna start getting even better

[past nebula]

Genuinely, eggswash with any flat or increase Xmult joker is awesome

[solemn sonnet]

i tried like scaling obelisk once

like actually properly using it

and it was pretty good

i always thought obelisk was shit

but it is not that bad

[past nebula]

Yeah, if you know hoe to survive and play obelisk properly, its decent for me

[solemn sonnet]

if u get it to early-mid game and scale up high card it becomes pretty good

[past nebula]

Well, i just can't say much since i only won a run with it

[pseudo rain]

hey every1 in modding chat is ignoring me, can sum1 come over to modding chat and helpp me with a crash?

[past nebula]

Once

[frank grove]

obelisk is soo good

[amber robin]

Yo wait what does obelisk do again?

[solemn sonnet]

ehh

[past nebula]

Gains 0.2X per hand play

[past nebula]

But if you play your highest olayed hand

Goes back to 0

[amber robin]

Ou thats a little 💩

[solemn sonnet]

scaling it up can make it really strong

[amber robin]

U have to build that up to even get the chance to get value

[solemn sonnet]

just pair it with some other +mult scale it up and it actually becomes pretty decent

[past nebula]

Yup

[amber robin]

And building that up just seems hard without loosing

[amber robin]

Maybe

[frank grove]

you can get it in like ante 4 and you just win the game easily

[amber robin]

Ah, i see

[past nebula]

I mean, if you got good flat + and Xmult, and just stack highcard or whateve

Then mid game, play with the habd you play with

[solemn sonnet]

i remember using scholar once thinking it was a really good joker

when i like first started playing the game

[frank grove]

you can even get it later than that and it can be like a 3.8x by ante 8 boss

or way WAY higher

[solemn sonnet]

and i couldnt realize that 20 chips and 5 mult wasnt that deep

[past nebula]

Scholar is okay, i mean, on itself you could survive ante 1 and 2

But thats it

[solemn sonnet]

scholar is just something that you use in ante 1 and then immediately throw away when you see literally any other joker that gives more than 10 mult

[frank grove]

i won a run with scholar as my only chips joker with no planets before and it was pretty aight you do need help in the flat +mult dep though

[solemn sonnet]

the chips are fine the mult is low

[frank grove]

yeah and chad helps a ton with getting enough to make it worth holding onto

[terse vale]

h

[amber robin]

Ye?

[terse vale]

obelisk isnt that bad

[solemn sonnet]

i've never used mr bones a single time

like never had it or never even really saw it that much

maybe saw it a couple times skipped past it because i didnt find it useful

[amber robin]

Well me personally ive never played with it and i dont have the game to try it out so i cant rlly judge it

[wintry ice]

gold stake encourages build that don't care about which hand you play in the first place

[amber robin]

Aha i see

[frank grove]

speak of the devil

[wintry ice]

you just need a good +mult joker and a consistent source of chips or vice versa

[amber robin]

Aw heck naw that brother got omni hearing or smth

[solemn sonnet]

what's like

the worst rare joker

in your guys's opinions

[amber robin]

Imo ita definitley burnt jo-

Nah im jk

[solemn sonnet]

burnt joker isnt actually that bad

[amber robin]

Ugh idk ill have to check what rares are even in game

I cant remember

[frank grove]

imo baron, the tribe does literally nothing in most flush builds so whys he there, hit the road can be kinda bad sometimes

[solemn sonnet]

burnt joker is just kind of weird in my opinion

like discard a flush to level it up once then try to get a flush again to play it

or something like that

the only time i see it being useful is leveling up high card or other easy to play hands

[amber robin]

Yeah

[frank grove]

yeah, i only play gold stake so i just discard pairs and then play pairs as my hand like 80% of the time so its really good for me

[solemn sonnet]

two pairs are pretty cool

i actually want to start playing two pairs alot but i never get spare trousers

[amber robin]

Ohoh i remeber now i absolutley hate campfire

[solemn sonnet]

oh campfire

yeah i hate it

[frank grove]

campfire is great

[solemn sonnet]

i've never used it

[frank grove]

but again with rentals its amazing

[solemn sonnet]

i mean you can scale it up by just buying random cheap jokers then selling it

[amber robin]

Bro ngl at this point u great with every card

[frank grove]

since rentals only cost 1 dollar you can buy it for 1 sell for 1

[solemn sonnet]

specifically useless rental jokers or useless jokers from buffon packs

[amber robin]

Leave some skill for us 🥀

[amber robin]

True

But imo its not worth the money

[solemn sonnet]

hit the road isnt really bad but like not good either

i mean ehh you can on average get atleast x2 mult with it and maybe a bit more if you're lucky

[frank grove]

its bad when you're past blue stake with one less discard it loses SO much value

[solemn sonnet]

which at that point just grab cavendish or start making a bunch of jacks with death or whatever

[wintry ice]

1. baron
2. baron
3. ba

[solemn sonnet]

yea

[wicked sequoia]

waow first time seeing a nat negative

[solemn sonnet]

baron is like really useless

outside of naneinf runs

[wintry ice]

second place is either tribe or dna

[frank grove]

yeah dna is pretty ass in non endless runs too

[wintry ice]

with more bias towards tribe because 2x isn't gonna cut it for flushes outside of checkered

[solemn sonnet]

whenever i see baron i go "oh!!" but then i just realize its steel cards 2.0

[wicked sequoia]

lmfao I forgor the needle was up next

[urban edge]

is canio good?

[amber robin]

Bro i just rememberd i have 1 single run screenshoted on my phone

LOL

[wicked sequoia]

yes

[wintry ice]

yea

[frank grove]

probably my favorite or second favorite leg

[barren wigeon]

yes

[amber robin]

Prty good

[wintry ice]

he scales really quickly and doesn't demand too much for it

[urban edge]

oki thanks

[wintry ice]

destroying cards isn't too terrible with a proper ecobomy

[frank grove]

can occasionally be distracting as hell on abandoned though

[royal ore]

i swear seeing double is not a real joker

[wintry ice]

though of course you want a form of tarot gwneration for him

[solemn sonnet]

is stuntman good

[wintry ice]

+250 chips is a lot

[solemn sonnet]

i've used him a couple of times and actually found him pretty useful

[frank grove]

im taking him if i dont have chip scaling

[solemn sonnet]

the hand size isnt that much if you get paint brush or use the painted deck

[wintry ice]

he's similar in power to the other scaling chip jokers

[royal ore]

HOLY

$15 from rebate on ante 1

[amber robin]

Yeah but only on plasma imo

[royal ore]

mail in rebate is so good

[solemn sonnet]

i like using him outside of plasma deck

[amber robin]

Yeah def

[frank grove]

chips are needed almost everywhere

[spark kernel]

How good is my jokers

[amber robin]

Nice

[amber robin]

Very good

Nice job

[solemn sonnet]

pretty good
ancient joker is nice xmult (hanging chad boosts that)
photograph is more xmult (hanging chad boosts that too)
abstract joker is mult
hit the road is more xmult

lots and lots of xmult

so uh that's probably alot of score

[amber robin]

Def

[solemn sonnet]

ngl am never forgetting the crazy run i had like 10 minutes ago

i was almost ready to scale obelisk, got perkeo baron and stuntman

i had misprint for a bit of mult while i tried to get some other semi-fine mult jokers

then misprint gave me 0 mult 3 times in a row and i died

or 2 times in a row i dont remember

[amber robin]

Ouuu very unlucky

[solemn sonnet]

its stupid

but uh i probably just arent used to small hand sizes

[amber robin]

Yeah happend to me on a balatro copy once

[solemn sonnet]

maladro

(card game)

[amber robin]

Yep

[amber robin]

My only saving grace

[amber robin]

The one shot of adrenaline still keeping me from feeling bad abt deleting balatro

[urban edge]

does green joker not work on hook?

[frank grove]

the hook is the discard 2 when played hand right?

[solemn sonnet]

yes its that one

wait does it work on green joker

now i mwondering

[frank grove]

i think green guy just adds 1 when a hand is played and then -1 when it discards

so it just doesnt do anything

it doesnt go down but it also wont go up that round

iirc

[urban edge]

i was wondering why my green joker didnt go up

faceless joker and green joker doesnt really fit well huh

[spark kernel]

Thats red deck blue stake done

[urban edge]

i dont know what that is but nice

[spark kernel]

Which part are you confuesd about

Now who should i sell for brainstorm

[urban edge]

the stakes

[urban edge]

ah, i see

so its the difficulty of the deck?

[spark kernel]

Evrey deck has this

[urban edge]

ah, okay

thanks

[tranquil steppe]

Probs jack. And ancient can carry you

[frank grove]

some decks are more difficult than others, but all decks have these stales, and as you up the stakes the previous stakes also apply so yeah

[solemn sonnet]

madness is a pretty fun joker to use

i've never used it though because i've not seen it much and the times that i did i already had a good enough build

[tranquil steppe]

If chaos is fun then yes

[atomic trout]

What a horrible Needle

[brittle temple]

I had like 10 kings already he would be

[wicked swallow]

I have a question. I've just been flush spamming my way through the dificulties without ever really getting offered an aditional way to play. But am definitely noticing a decline in the strategy where it would just cost me multiple discards to even get a flush early on. Am I just missing something?

[unreal iron]

play pairs

thats it

thats all you have to do if you learn how to play pairs you know like 60% of gold stake

dare i say more but theres more to it than just pair spam ig

it scales just as fast as jupiter (15/2) and is a 2 card hand compared to the 5 card hand

now if you find something else like straights, obelisk etc...?

[shell dagger]

Early on flush is still the best hand

Like in ante 1

[atomic trout]

What shit luck. Not a single Straight

[unreal iron]

yeah you do need to find either flush/straight/full house to beat ante 1

but later on you gotta scale pairs

[spark kernel]

How hard is purple stake

[unreal iron]

some scenarios where high card also works

[lapis dawn]

and i. general is there any potential here

[unreal iron]

1.2m can be hard to get by against violet vessel

but its alright

takes a bit of learning to do

[lapis dawn]

what do i do with this abomination? how do i rearrange ti make it better and such

[wicked swallow]

Yeah I feel like I don't struggle in ante1 really. I just started on Red deck/Green stake and it was just scaling much faster then my draws could keep up with

[shell dagger]

you can sell half

[final bough]

choose

[lapis dawn]

and then do what

[shell dagger]

take acro

[unreal iron]

early +mult is cool but it has to be todd right

[lapis dawn]

whats the optimal arrangement?

i feel like the brainstorm is doing nothing g here

but could it really

[shell dagger]

depends on your hand levels

[unreal iron]

copy hologram

full copy holo

[sullen mica]

todd goat

[unreal iron]

yeah

[shell dagger]

depends on the hand levels

[wintry ice]

which one has more card

[lapis dawn]

pair 3 hc 2

3oak 4

[unreal iron]

btw brainstorm is copying abstract

so put it next to abstract

[sullen mica]

yeah only +mult really

[unreal iron]

so it actually gets affected by all the xmult

[sullen mica]

is there any more reasonable way to get an early soul?

[unreal iron]

just get lucky really

[sullen mica]

i need perkeo man

nah not perkeo

[lapis dawn]

what avout this

[unreal iron]

yeah

i guess

[sullen mica]

switch abstract and hologram

[unreal iron]

yk what just calc it atp

[lapis dawn]

really?

[unreal iron]

balatrocalculator.com

idk

and just optimize for the hand and stuff

[sullen mica]

actually idk but try getting all the + left of all the x xdd

and please buy the seed money

[wicked swallow]

Is it worth it here to get the first joker? Or are those generally not worth it? Discard a hand to increase it's level

[calm furnace]

merry Christmas to everyone except diamonds suit

[calm furnace]

burnt joker is guaranteed win joker

[fading mango]

this is one hell of a start, i did use the brainstorm mod for early perko but everything else is purely chance

[ancient gyro]

the what

[fading mango]

one of my fav jokers hidden right there

[lapis dawn]

is this a take?

[wicked swallow]

Who should it replace you think?

[calm furnace]

what hand are you playing

[obsidian oracle]

should i just keep going

dont buy hieroglyph

hands for reference

[wicked swallow]

Doing pairs right now. I have the Jolly and Mad joker, so it should probably replace one of those. But the Mad Joker is poly so has the 1.5x

[calm furnace]

you dont care about xmult rn at ante 3

[wicked swallow]

I guess o7 to the mad joker then haha

[calm furnace]

with enough mercury levels you wont need the bull

[jagged pier]

Riffraff is too op and needs to be nerfed

[unborn cliff]

balatrodle in 2

[wicked swallow]

Is this one actually 25%? I think I've bought/selected it like 20 times and I've maybe gotten the hit like once..

[urban edge]

baron is obsessed with me

it keeps popping up every run

[fading mango]

oi

gimme

i could REALLY use him rn

[urban edge]

lol

[unborn cliff]

shoot the moon

[fading mango]

FUCK OFF

no way

[unborn cliff]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[fading mango]

i normally do that to people

[unborn cliff]

dude im so pissed i want to play balatro

BUT STEAM IS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fading mango]

my deck needs to be thinned but i have some very nice kings

still somewhat early game

[unborn cliff]

manifesting a hung man for you

[fading mango]

yay

[urban edge]

man baron early sucks

[fading mango]

just go this from emporer

[unborn cliff]

you're welcome

[checks notes] yeah baron is set to appear after precisely 6 rerolls next ante

[urban edge]

imagine

[jagged pier]

Bro discovered rule N°2 of balatro

[fading mango]

oooh

[unborn cliff]

trib

or a useless one

or chicot

[jagged pier]

yoric

[fading mango]

kinda useless

[unborn cliff]

canio was my next guess

[fading mango]

well maybe not

[obsidian oracle]

wee

[urban edge]

are my jokers good?

im pretty new

[jagged pier]

Sex sense op

[urban edge]

w dna

what do i sell?

[woven spire]

baron is prolly useless

[urban edge]

really?

i dont think so

[woven spire]

yeahhhh, it’s only worth it when you have a good amount of kings

how many do u have

[urban edge]

kings?

[woven spire]

yh

[urban edge]

just 4

im working on making more

[woven spire]

and 6s?

[urban edge]

3

[woven spire]

actually first of all

are you going for the win or endless

[fading mango]

i want a joker that makes lucky 7's give you a higher hit chance

silly 7 having nothing in temrs of builds

[cosmic sun]

67 joker

[woven spire]

if u not going endless get rid of baron 🙏

[woven spire]

true

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[atomic trout]

invisible Joker

Two Ramen??

[serene forge]

ancient joker is good, baron and misprint are probably useless

6th sense is good but obviously useless once the 6s are gone

[urban edge]

ah okay

i sold misprint for dna

[rugged pecan]

Imagine it copied shortcut…

A 4 7 10 K becomes a straight?? 😭

[fading mango]

damm baron and blueprint literally decided to dip

where are you

[rugged pecan]

Essentially any 5 cards that are different can become a straight?

Wait no

That’s definitely not right

[rugged pecan]

I stole them

[fading mango]

nooo

[woven spire]

what.

[rugged pecan]

I’m being dumb

Don’t worry

[brave fox]

I may have convinced my Gma to try this game 👀 she's loves tf outta solitaire

[glad sequoia]

Triple poly madness!

😭 I just had to keep spinning wheels lol

[atomic trout]

Nooo

Ramen sucks

That Saturn scales way too hard

[solemn sonnet]

is this a good joker build

[atomic trout]

Why Ancient? 🤣

[solemn sonnet]

does he know?

[atomic trout]

Never

[solemn sonnet]

using brainstorm + ancient joker you can score up to 200k+ with it

even more if you have some other xmult jokers

[atomic trout]

Wait. I was thinking totem

Totem is super situational

[solemn sonnet]

i dont even have drivers license activaited yet and im on average scoring about 100k+ score

with ancient joker

[atomic trout]

Just get metal lucky cards 🤣

[solemn sonnet]

what are metal lucky cards

🤔

metal cards

since when was metal an enhancement in this game

[glad sequoia]

RIP

[atomic trout]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

I lost

[grave aurora]

I had a great five-card 9 of hearts combination. I'm banned from playing.

[atomic trout]

Steel cards hehe

[solemn sonnet]

you cant put steel and lucky on one card at the same time

[wicked swallow]

Much to learn still haha

[grave aurora]

Even though I used cheats, I never got 1 million points.

[wintry ice]

arrow antisynergizes with aj

[hard plover]

1 million is very easy

[grave aurora]

I sat there for 5 or 6 hours playing this game, it was so frustrating.

[solemn sonnet]

i had smeared joker but executed it for brainstorm

im still not sure if that was a good idea

[wintry ice]

even then you should be getting the chips from flush or straight levels

[grave aurora]

I used a cheat that allowed unlimited attacks and skips, but it still didn't work.

[solemn sonnet]

anything but turning on debug mode

[grave aurora]

The game is too hard, guys, can you give me some good Joker combos? Something easy to get, this game is too difficult.

[rugged pecan]

Photograph and hanging Chad

Easiest combo to make and use

Until the plant

[solemn sonnet]

the best way to find a good joker combo is by finding them yourselves

[solemn sonnet]

since getting specific joker combos is gonna be a pain in the butt since every run is randomized

[rugged pecan]

Unless it’s baron and mime when you don’t want to do baron mime, then it comes right to you

[barren wigeon]

ok important question

for the jimbo shuffler

does burger trigger before or after the shuffling

[rugged pecan]

Burger? Shuffling?

[barren wigeon]

smh not tapped in

you cant answer my question

[rugged pecan]

Mb mb 😔

[solemn sonnet]

burgor

[barren wigeon]

if you dont know these basic terminologies you cant help me

[grave aurora]

I don't understand how the community managed to gain so many points.

[solemn sonnet]

"basic terms" is crazy

when you're saying the most uncomprehensible stuff known to man

i feel like you're talking about the boss blind that shuffles your jokers but

i just cant prove it yet

[barren wigeon]

the real ones would understand

[obsidian patrol]

amber acorn and burglar

Light work

[kind cloud]

after

im assuming trying to keep bp on burglar?

[hushed bison]

is my build good 👀👀👀👀👀👀

[patent bridge]

those arent basic terms

he talking about burglar

[solemn sonnet]

i have 7 5's

seven of a kind

[hushed bison]

peak

[solemn sonnet]

i love ouija

it can change the whole fucking way you play

you can go from flushes and straights to spamming four of a kinds

[hushed bison]

you better get a hack soon 👀👀👀

[solemn sonnet]

these are my jokers rn

[patent bridge]

yeah i wouldnt say that

[solemn sonnet]

i like using it cause i love running four of a kinds alot

the -1 hand size is annoying though

[vocal rose]

yes in a negative way

[solemn sonnet]

but can be countered by things like painted deck

[vocal rose]

changing how you play isnt always a good thing

especially if you're already running something good

[solemn sonnet]

yea i know

i only tend to use it in early game if im bored

[hushed bison]

yall don't play joker poker like me

[solemn sonnet]

i never touch ouija on mid-late game

[patent bridge]

well youre on painted deck, Ouija gains a little value for that

[urban edge]

good for you

[solemn sonnet]

im wondering when i'll get the trio

🤔

i need xmult

[brittle temple]

ante1 yorick

[solemn sonnet]

oh my god dude

i could do a flush five with 5s

if i had one more diamond five

[vocal rose]

dont

you'll fuck up your shop for something you wont hit consistently

[vocal rose]

easiest win ever

[solemn sonnet]

im barely skimming through blinds

[vocal rose]

and that'll make it worse

[solemn sonnet]

i have a fortune teller at 14 mult and a fucking holographic egg as my only mult source

and a burglar

[hushed bison]

im crine 😭😭

[solemn sonnet]

im alive though

burglar is love burglar is life

10 hands

[hushed bison]

temperance would save you 👀👀

try to get a source of tarot cards

[patent bridge]

I should play, I'm 5 jokers away from my second C++

[patent bridge]

3 of them are legendaries tho

[solemn sonnet]

dude my economy is fucked up and my build looks like this

i barely live through boss blinds

[hushed bison]

exactly you need money

and you have egg, hence the temperance

[patent bridge]

just get chips

[hushed bison]

and also deck fixing

[patent bridge]

or xmult

[hushed bison]

you need tarots for

id go for diamond flush fives since you already seem to have a lot of diamond fives

[solemn sonnet]

IM CRINE

I BARELY LIVED

I DREW TWO STEEL CARDS ON MY LAST HAND

AND ITS THE ONLY REASON I SURVIVED

[hushed bison]

😭😭

[solemn sonnet]

arrowhead

🤔

[hushed bison]

PEAK

[solemn sonnet]

do i get arrowhead

[patent bridge]

take it

[solemn sonnet]

but i dont have anything to replace it with....

[hushed bison]

yes

[solemn sonnet]

fuck..

im gonna sell egg

[hushed bison]

YES

[solemn sonnet]

ok now i have arrowheadm na

and now i have 26 dollars

[hushed bison]

look for world tarot

[solemn sonnet]

im gonna get blue seals so i can actually level up five of a kind

ok five of a kind at lvl 3

[hushed bison]

try to pivot to flush five though this is imperative

[solemn sonnet]

ok uhh

[hushed bison]

💔💔💔

[solemn sonnet]

dude

i have 4 diamond 5s

this game is ragebaiting me

im literally getting everything but a flush five

[brittle temple]

if only i wasnt trying to get a perkeo for the stencil naneinf

[viral totem]

Hey guys dumb question, but if I get a PS5, can I transfer my save/progress from the PS4 Balatro?

[solemn sonnet]

ok am dead

[hushed bison]

sigh...

[brittle temple]

unless the ps itself has a way to do that i dont think so

just use unlock all

[solemn sonnet]

this is by far the dumbest run i've had

i barely score anything i have 10 hands and i only play five of a kind

im gonna try to get another run like this because its fun to do

ok first thing i see is spare trousers from buffon pack nevermind we're going to two pairs

[hushed bison]

just get a deck full of polychrome red seal lucky kings, a triboulet, and 4 blueprints 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

it's so easg

[hushed bison]

wait im gonna try this seed

[solemn sonnet]

im pretty sure i just turned this into five of a kind by opening a random spectral pack and finding ouija

[vocal rose]

easiest win ever

[solemn sonnet]

also from the first rare skip tag you can get brainstorm i think

thats how i got it

i dont remember where exactly i skipped but i definetly skipped around like ante 1-3

and i got brainstorm from that

[hushed bison]

there was a fibonacci??? that would have gone perfectly with the fives!!

😭😭😭

[solemn sonnet]

WHERE???

😭

i never saw one

[hushed bison]

ante 2 big blind shop 😭😭😭

i didn't even reroll😭😭

[solemn sonnet]

im probably restarted then

or just somehow missed it

[hushed bison]

im doing face cards anyway

[solemn sonnet]

ok i just got a gay brainstorm

i love skip tags

[brittle temple]

i want to go back to white stake

[vocal rose]

if you're doing stencil naneinf you only need to do black stake no?

[solemn sonnet]

i love using jokers like ride the bus

or stuff like square joker

[vocal rose]

yes!

scaling jokers are very good

[solemn sonnet]

ride the bus and spare trousers are my favorite ones

spare trousers scales quickly and ride the bus is okay

[latent egret]

yes

[solemn sonnet]

a fortune wheel just made my ride the bus holographic and i didnt even notice

i think its because im way too used to seeing "nope!" that i just ignore what happens when i use wheel of fortune

[hushed bison]

this is the run so far

lots of lucky kings

[craggy sleet]

my first good run ended

[brittle temple]

true

[solemn sonnet]

its so tempting

should i do it

eh fuck it

and it turned everything into 9s

this makes scaling spare trousers 90 times easier

[brittle temple]

cloud 9's dream

[solemn sonnet]

cloud 9 only appears when u dont need it

[brittle temple]

would it be king0 times eazier if you got kings

[solemn sonnet]

what do you mean i cant use wheel of fortune

fuck...

[hearty tundra]

How is that 5/5 is that not a negative 8ball

Oh painted deck

[brittle temple]

8ball is just very negative naturally so it being negative cancelled it out and made positive energy

[solemn sonnet]

dude

i cant use wheel of fortune

im gonna lose it

ok i think im gonna die to violet vessel

[magic stone]

re-gold staked ghost deck on mobile lol

[solemn sonnet]

fat

spare trousers did not win

😔

[urban edge]

oof

[solemn sonnet]

i just realized i had 141 dollars

wtf

i didnt even notice

ok am gonna try to play on painted deck again tomorrow

[hushed bison]

@urban edge I GOT HORRIBLE DRAWS WTF

[brittle temple]

rip

[hushed bison]

wrong person pinged

@solemn sonnet

terrible boss blind

[solemn sonnet]

pro tip: use painted deck and use ouija

anyway

i hate cerulean bell

[hushed bison]

real

[solemn sonnet]

half of the time because of it you arent able to play a hand that you could play

a flush as an example

because it picked some random ass card

like a lone diamond card or something

[hushed bison]

i had an idol but i sold it for the bloodstone

[solemn sonnet]

ok am gonna try playing on painted deck tomorrow

i like painted deck cause you can use ouija without sacrificing your hand size by that much

[hushed bison]

mmm...

[solemn sonnet]

i didnt even know that ouija changed ranks lol

back then i thought it was just the same as sigil

except took up 1 hand size

[sand lily]

Vagabond goes nuts on green deck

[hybrid cypress]

USE GHOST DECK...

[solemn sonnet]

you play ghost deck because its good

i only play ghost deck because i like pretty colorful cards

we are not the same

[steel chasm]

Well hello natural negative Michael

[hybrid cypress]

hornet get the banana.

[nova mantle]

breaking in 1 round 💔

[unborn cliff]

dead in 2 rounds

[magic vessel]

Painted deck really makes me think outside the box, but ouijja came in clutch for a 5kings build

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rapid cargo]

Me after selling my To-Do List on the last blind even though my scoring is coming solely from Green and two Acrobats just to spite it:

[exotic river]

we should bash bloodstone skull in with rocks

[serene forge]

please

blooodstone worst joker

[rapid cargo]

Like some kind of Blood Stone?

[exotic river]

once you play balatro you will never want to stop beating bloodstone jokers to death

[exotic river]

I HAD A THAT COPY JOKER ON IT

AND IT ONLY TRIGGERED TWICD

TWICD

TWICE

FUCK

this is probably

the most unluckiest round of my life

idol didnt hit on the proper hand, bloodstone only triggered twice and it took me multiple hands and discards to get to the flush five

[vocal rose]

this is why bloodstone is ass

[last bolt]

oa6 and it's fixed

🔥

actually nvm

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[last bolt]

I get the hate now

[barren wigeon]

I loooove chocolate

but I cant eat it because it makes me fat

but its SOOOOO good

[last bolt]

I hate The Idol

[barren wigeon]

going for a baron run bc bored

[last bolt]

I'm js gonna try out any deck on any stake

I literally don't know what to do after doing C+

I'm too lazy to go for C++

[exotic pike]

i love bloodstone

[last bolt]

it's an okay joker

[woven spire]

w

[distant axle]

What should blueprint be copying (Yorick is only on x2 rn)

[gloomy swallow]

They got me the bootleg BALATRO deck for Christmas 🥹 I don't really mind cause I know they wouldn't see the difference between one and the other and I love my parents a lot

[nova mantle]

i initially read bootleg balatro only and i was confused asf lol

[gloomy swallow]

lul

[hushed bison]

thay is a delicious hand 🤤🤤🤤

[nova mantle]

the bootleg balatro deck looks very nice tho, thats mad nice

[terse vale]

keep it on bloodstone ig
unless you have lucky cards

then hack

[gilded hawk]

they call it the joker roster of all time

[last bolt]

hacking balatro 🤣🤣🤣 ||(mfw wee joker)||

[hushed bison]

🤤🤤

[last bolt]

[gloomy swallow]

being honest, does it 😭

[woven spire]

gon make a party if ancient hits hearts

[woven spire]

oops and lucky cat trust 🙏

[hushed bison]

i died next round to bad draws

[obsidian atlas]

i lost this in the dumbest way imaginable and my will to live is gone

[viral ledge]

does balatro have lore

[latent pecan]

i completed every challenge while steam was down so it didn't give me the achievement but now that it's back wtf do i do now to get it😭

[heavy hare]

i don't believe so

[viral ledge]

i think you just launch the game again

[latent pecan]

already did

twice

[viral ledge]

thats what it does for me when i get achievements offline

[viral ledge]

hmm…

[latent pecan]

i'll try launching it unmodded

[viral ledge]

have you ended the run you got the achievement in?

[olive basin]

Open a second account on the same profile and play the challenges again

[alpine halo]

Question what is the purpose of mime, do you have lots of gold/steel?

[latent pecan]

but i dont have any mods that affect achievements so i doubt this matters at all

[pine drum]

Pair build ftw

[latent pecan]

yea 20 out of 20 challenges completed

[olive basin]

Or check your mods

[latent pecan]

im gonna kms if i gotta do every single challenge again 😭

some of those are sooo boring

[olive basin]

Then you’re not worthy

[latent pecan]

i just got 2 mods for qol, handy and mobile ui

[alpine halo]

Is sixth sense copyable

[latent pecan]

that'd be the 4th time i complete all challenges i really dont wanna do it againnnnn 😭

[latent pecan]

nope

[olive basin]

Check your mods there a button that once enabled stops you from getting achievements

[signal dew]

can i use a second ecto for my naneinf run?

[olive basin]

Once you disable/enable it you will get the achievements immediately

[latent pecan]

thanks

nice ultrakill pfp

[olive basin]

That you have completed

And thank you

Mankind is Jolly and Christmas is Fuel

[latent pecan]

oh yea it was disabled thank you sm

[alpine halo]

Unfortunate but I guess that would be really powerful

2 spectrals per blind

[woven spire]

if you still doesn’t get it i think u need to win a run on white stake

it’s a known bug

[latent pecan]

when you place blueprint/brainstorm next to the joker you want to copy, it'll show up under the joker's description if you can copy it or not iirc

[alpine halo]

Yeah it does I’m just not on rn and was wondering

[latent pecan]

thanks ig i'll have to win a white stake run

[obsidian atlas]

is there any tutorial for a naneinf run

[woven spire]

you can have a second 6 sense for 2 spectral for the same 6 tho

[woven spire]

i think*

[woven spire]

Drspectred on yt

[obsidian atlas]

okay thanks

[alpine halo]

What deck should I do for my fourth gold stake

[hearty dagger]

best plasma deck hand type?

[alpine halo]

I got abandoned, ghost, and doing yellow

[woven spire]

search “drspectred naneinf tutorial” on yt

[alpine halo]

Anything that has a lot of chips

[distant vault]

Fuck green joker

[alpine halo]

I love groker

[hearty dagger]

helpful 🙄

[woven spire]

the first 3 videos that pops up are very useful

[woven spire]

sounds like a skill issue to me

[distant vault]

Level 25 flush five

[alpine halo]

Yeah that’s a few

Like 3 atleast

[distant vault]

How so

[woven spire]

Grimbo is a great scaler, if u need discards it’s not grimbos problem

[latent pecan]

green joker is sooo good

ok maybe not that good but very solid

especially early game

[vocal rose]

two pair

[woven spire]

or straight

[vocal rose]

it is that good

[distant vault]

If you don't think of discards as powerful you are a substantially worse player than one who does

[viral raft]

maybe Two pair or straight

[vocal rose]

hes a contrarian

[left skiff]

Merry christmas eve or idk

[vocal rose]

dont worry he knows green joker is good

just a bit thats probably taken a bit too far

[woven spire]

When tf did i say discards are not powerful, the fact that you can’t play without discards tells me u are just bad at the game gng

[viral raft]

is one of my fav jokers

great pivot joker

[latent pecan]

never fall for green joker = bad propaganda

[distant vault]

"If you need discards thats not grimbos problem"

[woven spire]

yes.

[wintry ice]

man of straws

[distant vault]

Everyone benefits from discards you dingus

[woven spire]

that’s what i said

[wintry ice]

does every strategy need them?

[distant vault]

Green joker punishes discards is my point

So your logic is weird

[woven spire]

how.

[wintry ice]

are you forced to always discard

[viral raft]

if you play Pair you'll always see him on the hand

[latent pecan]

yea

[fervent wolf]

Hot take, double eternal rocketship is amazing

[viral raft]

Green is great to play around low pokerhands

[woven spire]

this the type people that think they can’t score without a flush 🙏

[nova mantle]

legit! i pondered on actually buying one because i like how it looks compared to the official one

[weary idol]

I just got gold sticker obelisk. 🥲 151 to go

[distant vault]

Im saying that green is inferior to other mult because it is more valuable to discard than to not

[left skiff]

That's why i use this card :D

[viral raft]

great joker idk

[woven spire]

you did not say that

[viral raft]

i love Obelisk

[distant vault]

You're right, I said fuck green joker

Same thing

[spark kernel]

Me and blueprint copies jokers abilities to the right

[weary idol]

Took me a while to learn it. But yeah. Got to x4.6

[latent pecan]

green joker is one of the best mult jokers tho it scales very well

[distant vault]

Green joker is enough I wouldnt call it one of the best

[spark kernel]

Delightful mario so round and jublient in nature

[left skiff]

Btw i Made this joker for fun
And if someone wants to put his part next to the joker then do it :D

[viral raft]

is probably top 5 scaling mult jokers but yeah is good

[woven spire]

so you are telling me that if i said fuck brainstorm i would be right because there are better copy jokers

[wintry ice]

supernova forces you to stick to one hand and fortune teller, swash and flash card are too specific

[spark kernel]

Make the upside down part blue and white so its inverted

[wintry ice]

and besides

this is a roguelike

not a story focused rpg

you can't force the game to give you something

[latent pecan]

green joker has won me sooo many gold stake runs

[distant vault]

Ft swashbuckler and flash are probably worse. I would say supernova is better

[calm furnace]

so yeah last two days been doing anaglyph its very inconsistent

[wintry ice]

oh yeah dagger is also uncomfortable to play with

[distant vault]

Same

[calm furnace]

when you get the good skip tag anaglyph fucks

[woven spire]

roguelite🤓👆

[wintry ice]

supernova locks you out of obelisk and just dies to eye

[calm furnace]

or you end up not using any skips

[distant vault]

No because I think green by itself is not great. Brainstorm by itself is

[alpine halo]

Me when lie

[wintry ice]

you also can't utilise things like trio with it

[calm furnace]

scaling mult? the worst is bootstrap and this is not even debatable

[distant vault]

True

[cursive crater]

meanwhile the goat spare trousers scaling at least +6 every round🗣️

[calm furnace]

bootstrap is genuinely the worst joker in the game

[alpine halo]

Incorrect

[calm furnace]

i made a tier list of cost of mult per dollar scaling and spare trousers is consistently yhe cheapest at half a dollar per mult

[calm furnace]

name a worse one

bootsrap needs you to be at 50$ to be as strong as abstract 😭

[distant vault]

Green can prevent you from digging for purple seals, blue seals, gold seals aka value

[weary idol]

What did deck did y’all use for c++? I feel I’ve exhausted analglyph. Been able to pick up a couple more recently on ghost

[wintry ice]

boots usually isn't better than abstract

[calm furnace]

its yhe worsy joker no debate and scaling it makes you wotse

[wintry ice]

which for a scaling mult joker is really horrible

[calm furnace]

because scaling anything else scales bootstrap down

[wintry ice]

it's more practical than baron and idol

having 2 things worse than it makes it not the worst

[frank grove]

most of mine i did on good ol reliable blue

[calm furnace]

bootstrap should be 1mult per dollar to be usable

[cursive crater]

so bull is the better counterpart?even though they work the same

[shell rock]

no

[calm furnace]

25+ mult on interest is good

[weary idol]

I never even considered blue but an extra hand would be a lifesaver. Tyvm

[calm furnace]

yeah because ot scales better and there are no alternatives

you take any source of chips you can get

[wintry ice]

1 to 1 would be broken

3 to 5 would be fine imo

[calm furnace]

bull at 25$ is 50 chips as much as foil which is good to give you a push on pairs

[wintry ice]

or 4 to 5 if necessary

[shell rock]

1 to 2 is more fair imo

[calm furnace]

boots at 25$ is useless

[frank grove]

Yeah

[alpine halo]

Idol

[frank grove]

Bootstraps is one of the jokers that is there, only sometimes interesting on anaglyph with the Econ tags, and even then there are just so many better things you can find with the money

[calm furnace]

idol is a shitty photo

[wintry ice]

it also makes it harder to find xmult

[calm furnace]

scaling boots literally makes you weaker

game is built around spending money

any good run is composed of good income that is spent on good resources

[distant vault]

Didn't doc call green joker bad

[slow sail]

ghost mostly because the deck fixing you can get made stuff like 4oak where you need less scoring jokers possible in the late game

[wintry ice]

when

[distant vault]

Lemme see

[calm furnace]

he did?

[slow sail]

and also because fun

[calm furnace]

doc used to say straights are the best hand 😭

[wintry ice]

i usually see him utilise it when it's present in a seed

and also this is just appeal to authority

[distant vault]

Mfers ready to change opinions now

LMAO

[wintry ice]

you're just taking someone's stance at face value because they're good at the game

[distant vault]

Nope

Thats you making an assumption

[wintry ice]

how so?

[distant vault]

I don't like green cause I don't like it

[frank grove]

He’s said before that it can be kindof a trap where you don’t utilize any discards ever even though gold card or blue seals can be better than 1 mult

[calm furnace]

doc might be the best player

[distant vault]

Not cause doc doesnt like it

[calm furnace]

doesn't mean he is a god that everything says is right

[distant vault]

I never said so

[calm furnace]

doc was late to the pair meta

[distant vault]

Im not using appeal to authority

[wintry ice]

but you're using doc's alleged words as an argument

[distant vault]

I just mentioned

Nope

Wrong again

[alpine halo]

Straights are cool

[wintry ice]

then why did you mention it?

[distant vault]

I just mentioned it you dingus

[calm furnace]

groker is good but not fun

[distant vault]

Because I can?

[calm furnace]

most fun to play

[frank grove]

Straights are so nice

[distant vault]

Why are you upset over me mentioning it?

[calm furnace]

discarding for straights need thinking

[wintry ice]

so you allegedly didn't intend it to be related to the discussion in question?

[calm furnace]

thinking is sometimes fun

[alpine halo]

I have fun with pairs unironically

[frank grove]

Saturn scaling is really really nice

[distant vault]

I literally just asked cause were talking about green joker.

Jesus

[calm furnace]

same with flush

groker is in noway bad

not the best

[alpine halo]

I play flushes occasionally

[acoustic kettle]

Grimbo

[calm furnace]

but not bad

[wintry ice]

well i don't recall him saying that

[calm furnace]

grimbo is just anti fun

because digging and purple seals

is fun

[wintry ice]

pair builds are boring

[distant vault]

Bro no is backtracking

🤣

[wintry ice]

but the most boring options are often the best one in a strategy game

[calm furnace]

huh?

[alpine halo]

I enjoy pairs probably just because I’m still rather new and only have 3 gold stakes

[acoustic kettle]

Straights are kinda fun

[calm furnace]

im og groker hater

[wintry ice]

their statement didn't mention it's viability in comparison to other jokers in the same niche

yours did

[calm furnace]

strush is the most fun built

[acoustic kettle]

Though i spent 8 hands digging for that one card

[left skiff]

Alr
I have some pictures of some Jokers to get your opinion on them

[distant vault]

OK and your point?

[wintry ice]

what's yours?

[distant vault]

I don't have one. You mentioned me

Dummy

[wintry ice]

you call them out for alleged hypocrisy when there is none

[left skiff]

Wdyt?

[calm furnace]

stencil is goated

[wintry ice]

throwback is usually worthless since it doesn't give enough of a reward to make skipping worth it
stencil is sometimes fun but usually mediocre
blueprint is obviously great
fist is nice
misprint is good for earlygame specifically

[woven spire]

meh, decent, goat,decent,trash

[acoustic kettle]

Throwback bad

Misprint ragebaited me too much

I don't trust it

[woven spire]

so real

[wintry ice]

that's why you only rely on it for the first 3 antes

[calm furnace]

throwback needs to be 0.5x

[frank grove]

Throwback: okay on lower stakes, can be okay on anaglyph
Stencil: fine, usually it’s like a 2x without having to sell your Econ, at best a 3, there are better x mults
BP: better than brainstorm, just the goat
Fist: great early game, works with mime which is fun sometimes
Misprint: rng machine !!!!

[acoustic kettle]

Throwback needs better skips

[woven spire]

best thing you can know with missprint is the next card to draw

[calm furnace]

if throwback was 0.5x it would be good

2x is decent

you wont be skipping nore than twice

[calm furnace]

ypu dont need it to do that

[terse vale]

throwback D+
Stencil B
Blueprint S-
Fist C+
Misprint C

[wintry ice]

i'd say bp is S

[frank grove]

What’s an s+ if bp is S- ?

[acoustic kettle]

He will give me +5 mult on all hand and gives +20 mult when i only need like 100 more

[terse vale]

well prolly campfire and yorick and stuff

honestly I don’t think many teirlists have S- or S+

[woven spire]

yeah but it does that, when the description glitches it can say 5(number) H(suit) so a 5 of hearts, that means is the next card to draw after a discard/hand lol

[terse vale]

its just S

which is fair

[frank grove]

Where would you rank the other legs

[woven spire]

it can be any card btw

[wintry ice]

canio is right below yorick

[terse vale]

ooouuhhhh wdym

[wintry ice]

chicot is somewhere below that

perkeo below that

[nova junco]

I hate throwback
blueprint is viable literally in any build
fist is pretty good early game but tricky to use
misprint is just gambling
stencil is good to get before ante 2 because you have time to build around it (and to get lucky with ankh/inv/blueprint or brainstorm)

[wintry ice]

and trib with aj and fib

[frank grove]

Where canio?

[acoustic kettle]

Trib from soul is disappointment

[nova junco]

whAT

its the best pull imo

[frank grove]

Trib sucks on high stakes

[calm furnace]

everything not chicot is disappointment

[nova junco]

this is the only correct opinion actually

[acoustic kettle]

Literally just photograph

[calm furnace]

not really if photochad is good trib is better

[nova junco]

but 5 times

[frank grove]

Photochad isn’t good that’s the thing

[languid heron]

Idk what you mean yorick is cracked even on blue stake

[calm furnace]

its not good its great

[rugged pecan]

Campfire is not the strongest joker bro

[acoustic kettle]

On scoring jokers aren't good generally

[frank grove]

Yeah

[calm furnace]

on gold stake is is

[wintry ice]

it's the only one that needs you to change your build

[nova junco]

not really

[left skiff]

What's the opinion of all of You about this thing?

[nova junco]

yorick and canio too

[wintry ice]

the others allow you to just continue what you're already doing

[nova junco]

nope!

[plucky shuttle]

Let's Go Gambling!

[wintry ice]

yorick doesn't change anything about your gameplay

[distant vault]

Yorick is just discarding dude

[nova junco]

there are many builds where youre barely discarding

[robust lance]

HELP ME OUT OF THE FUCKING SIMULATION

[distant vault]

Green

[frank grove]

If you always play into face cards then sure trib is great but most of the time I don’t play into face cards at all

[wintry ice]

canio is still workable with face card builds

[rugged pecan]

Maybe not strongest but very strong yes

[distant vault]

Another reason I hate green it interferes with my man yorick

[rugged pecan]

Eternal can just keep showing up and get rid of your scoring

[wintry ice]

you can still affoard to discard with grimbo and if you have ramen you can just sell it at that point

[frank grove]

True but discarding for free x mult isn’t really that big of a downside

[left skiff]

Vamos A Apostar!
nope!
QUE-

[nova junco]

if you have your 5 cards to play in hand yes it is you can't discard

[wintry ice]

even still

[calm furnace]

its anti fun

[wintry ice]

the cost is obviously lower than building your deck around kings and queens and risking draws

[distant vault]

Green?

[calm furnace]

thi groker with burger fucks

[nova junco]

and canio too, if you're on a face card build it's not gonna get much better than a photograph

[calm furnace]

yeah now that i c++ i rarely ever pick green because its not fun

[frank grove]

You can it’s just not max value for yorick

[left skiff]

Literal is the definitive definition of "you're going to get scammed"

[acoustic kettle]

You don't really play 5 card hands

[latent pecan]

it didn't work 😭

[nova junco]

💀

pairslop moment

[acoustic kettle]

Pair is just too good

Boring as it is

[nova junco]

thats why its so unfun

[distant vault]

Im c++ too and ive used green a lot. But I feel like he costs a lot more than people realize

In value

With blue seals purple seals gold cards

[woven spire]

i envy your deckfixing skills 🫠

[calm furnace]

early groker helps a lot tho

[distant vault]

True

[calm furnace]

for pair builds

[distant vault]

No denying

Its just easy for the run to die quickly cause hands are also money

[nova junco]

pairs are the most reliable hand to play into yeah

[distant vault]

Yes

[woven spire]

slap a mime on that mf now

[latent pecan]

this was a pretty lucky run, square joker allowed me to do basically anything i wanted because that joker is STRONG in plasma deck

[acoustic kettle]

I do hope the new update will make big hands more reliable

[latent pecan]

yea it was disabled due to the boss blind

[distant vault]

Abk cookin

[zenith spire]

Do I sell ride the bus for walkie talkie?

[nova junco]

I wonder how tho

[wintry ice]

you can start discarding freely once green reaches +30

[woven spire]

crazy
