yeah it just sucks if you immo and it hits the middle cards
emo rick
fr
I mean, it’s still worth it. They’re easy to get back
even if it hits the low cards a smaller deck makes it easier to fix to
^^^^
and subsequently easier to find
More reliable to hit
lmaoo
my pain is over
Ello ello
Eeeeeeeelo
nuh uh
Hai
ante 21 😭 what did you do for the gods to despise you so much
bro my vision is blurry im typing from muscle memory
do i take the loss hand
be daredevil
echolocate the keyboard
"yeah ill take a neg tag for fun"
nah ima die soon from ts
be honest did you eat the finger
how is this loss
mythical pull
is bro gaming
goodnight yall
gn
Nat holo negative perkeo from Soul what
This run is better than my first naneinf attempt
my god that is loss
was literally 50/50 between the joker I needed and playing card is available from shop one
i have ruined balatro for yall
what
l l i
l l l_
nat holo negative perkeo?
that can happen?
you can get foil poly and holo from soul
two editions tho?
you can get neg i think
yh u do
Yes but they said nat holo neg perkeo 😭
gg
this might kill us
Be one with the water
or not, thanks game
W speed
by gg i mean you lose the run
because it's ante 4 and you have nothing
It's not negative
The humble riff rafd
i mean it is a nat holo neg perkeo
what
just read the text
Just holo
OHH THE NEGATIVE IS FOR THE COPY
Am I brainfarting
The negative is the ability description
i am so
OH LMAO
jksdkfbhgjdfsihougbjksdfhgusdjfighousdbjkfghds
God
Thats not
It's 5:00 LMAO
good job guys
Jesus
we solved the mystery
Do i need any other voucher for naneinf
i dont think so right
Palette
palette
I think we figured out it's bedtime for me 
thats why i took the neg tag tbh
Ah
also nacho tong
burn in hell stupid brain of mine
Nothing can really save you
Wait i need nachos?
bar like ancient joker
and palette?
rip
yh i died
burglar or perko
just when i thought the war is over
we got a lot of value cards, but we couldnt find any jokers that helped our score
Its ante 21 bro
if perko then you don't need nacho
i dont think perkeo is going to help me
if burger then the +1 hand would help for serpent
you don't need it idt
but it would be good to have
i love this, thanks
idk how to do econ with rentals ngl but we got a good combo
restarting that run
Who needs chips anyways
Sacrilege
Hmmm..
Try getting gold cards
Good for your setup
balatro gold stake random deck day 4: KXKUJB21 zodiac deck
sometimes you just get one of those seeds that plays themselves
don't really see any way to majorly mess up on this seed, even i took unnecessary risks and still won easily
this build is so dumb
You gotta hop off the game
Go jog
change your car's oil
learn karate
why
It says so here
No build with the goat can ever be bad
Tdl the goat indeed
Im blue da ba dee da ba die
im so sleepy
i forgot how tedious getting naneinf without perk is
i gotts think
i no like think
actually im not going to keep going with this run
ngl its kind of annoying when you have builds that can be defeated by deck rng
here's an interesting question:
-you are playing gold stake with a relatively-normal deck of your choice (not plasma, black, ghost, checkered, erratic, etc)
-you have a foil grimbo and holographic cloud 9, as well as a third eternal joker so your econ and scoring are pretty taken care of for earlygame, and you're already deck-fixing for 9's
You have a seeing double and flowerpot with no perishable/rental on them in your jokers. you reroll the shop and see a rental duo and rental idol. do you sell your xmult and pivot to idol/duo?
Spire cards are better
Duo
Also no see2
Depends on the xmult
your xmult is seeing double and flowerpot
use weakness to downgrade the 9s to 8 and go 8ball
or something like that
Also all of the spectral cards are blue
if the flowerpot procs its x6
and you've used a few lovers because of the flowerpot, main hand is 4oak with 9s at this point
No
cloud 9 is your only econ
I'd sell the pot for the duo
outside of a few gold cards
A consistent x4 is better than a wack x6
yes to deck fix for 9s
You have money you have cloud 9
in that run cloud 9 was basically my entire econ
what getting an ante 1 cloud 9 does to you
had like 14 9's by ante 6 or something
sucks when you get a few bad runs
i took the idol for lolz, it was definitely not an optimal decision
part of it is absolutely bad rng but another part of it is skissue
If you're near ante 8 just aell the c9
i think that if i wanted to play optimal i would have kept both and kept deck fixing for lovers for flower pot
maybe pivot to 5oak
They have a flower pot it isnt near ante 8
ante 5 or something
or 4
anyway the seed basically played itself
shop 1 banana that immediately died into shop 2 foil grimbo + rental holo c9
like what other decisions were there to make
Cavensish coming
(cavendish never showed up even though i rerolled super hard for deck fixing and was on zodiac so overstock the whole time)
Guys should I sell runner and clone my brainstorm or what do I do
it's on plasma white stake, you can survive with no jokers for a bit
sell the runner
Oki
you could even ecto if you wanna feel spicy
but 7 hand size with no scoring is a bit too spicy for me in earlygame, and ectos will come around later
i'm assuming that this is a high score attempt right?
for just clearing white stake plasma deck 2 brainstorms on its own is kinda overkill
I lost bc gave anything but no chips jokers 😭
I hate Bloodstone
So close to naneinf but damn, this was a fun run
Ggs, you’ll get em next time bro
I love Cheese
Does anyone know if omen globe increases the chance of a soul card in spectral packs?
what the
worth?
bye photo
well, new high score, thx!
buy the oops
i was tempted ngl
ewwww
Oops! All Baron’s!
For the sock?
yh
If you’re consistently playing more than 2 face cards then yeah
runner upon thee
kinda happy ngl
I'm having trouble on black deck...
I'm still pretty new so
Alright
I still have trouble in the beginning
Yuh that's what I do
I do unseeded too
I've been trying I still struggle
Make everything foil and it's perfect
I need Jimbo himself to teach me
Base
I haven't beaten black deck yet
Yeah...
I said I've been struggling

Don't really want to flood the channel
Stillll
chat do i bother with trying to make this flower pot work
never
you dont
not usually worth it
Noted
i took it but ended up just selling it for hologram lol
also damn two pair planet scaling goes crazy
chips 🤑
how do you make stone cards work? ive never known how to make them work in a deck long term
game's already won gg
I would guess by using high card two pair or pair
Got this really cool synergies in my run
theyre quite niche but as extra chips for pair or high card builds theyre fine
other than that theyre useful for stuff like idol or rebate blocking but thats endless tech
by high card deck do you mean steel cards with high cards or scaling flat mult jokers with high card
either, ive tried to get a baron deck working. managed a small one for a bit oa few times
(pairs are preferred for scaling builds due to being a bit more chips on the planet while not really having a drawing issue usually)
what is the point of the retriggers?
well generally high card and pair love bus green and square. any scaling scoring joker works well with them since theyre so spammable
thats why pairs are the most consistent gold stake hand
my amazing plasma deck two pair run
It really tickles my brain and it's pretty cool
Plus why not?
I got paradelio might as well take advantage of it

presumably because they do less than other jokers here
same goes for pareidolia
Assuming your deck isn't 80% glass
unless you're relying on glass numbered cards for scoring, you can free up one joker slot or another
considering the steel joker id assume steel is being used more than glass
if you are relying on glass numbered cards for scoring, good luck on the plant i guess
Really? I suppose that's probably true but i haven't really encountered any good joker to replace this so
both of these would probably be doing more
either way fully copying steel joker is probably better here
swashbuckler is bad and it's late for grimbo but some +mult is better than none +mult
I mostly have steel so
more xmult is good
Yes lol
Not a fan of glass
I could count the number of slottable jokers into this 'build' with one hand
this raised fist looks really good
30 mult
i should probably take this but with this much mult itll be hard to scale it much
I always take the halfsies
rental half joker is worthless here actually
or well not worth it
i have 30 mult in raised fist
and taking an eternal rental for 20 mult is bad
greens hard to take here
Well it is green joker
If you keep hc level 1 you can scale it
wait i have trading card what am i saying
its not green joker
i have my mult and the deck thinning matters more
damn i've won 4 orange stake runs in a row i feel like a god
Well I think I've met a worth joker to replace my current build
is certificate a bad idea here?
WOAH
RIFF RAFF GAVE ME SHINY BANANA??
polychrome cavendish is so cool looking
and it immediately went extinct qwq
Looks highly radioactive
How
would eat it
YOOO THERE WAS A HOLOGRAM IN THE JUDGEMENT CERTIFICATE WAS CORRECT
Godly seed?
not really, i was still forced to take eternal droll joker to beat ante 1 boss blind
Sometimes I don't even bring joker for my first blind just to save for economy
This seed is also kind of nuts too
Got me to unlock 1mil chips for the first time
Wouldn't it be better to full on copy mime here
Well that depends on how many steels
If you put a zyn in coffee does it get infused with nicotine
Or water or whatever
Im asking for science
Does it work like dat
Business idea: zyn water
5 orange stake wins in a row :D
Good job 😎 that’s sick
i don't like doing that cuz bad rng has killed me in the past
unless it's plasma or checkered deck, you can easily get away with no scoring ante 1 on those decks
Genuinely the thing that made me start winning more was win streaking since you take fewer early risks and are forced to make smarter plays
Well that's fair I don't really mind getting killed early since I just go for a new run
ah, i try my best to win every run
i think that's the fun of balatro
some seeds are a breeze while others hate ur guts
12/15 done
Only the terrible trio remain https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lQlF6hRoC_RJ3KA5D?invite=cr-MSwwb0gsMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60
Watch nebulize by mrmega1423 and millions of other Balatro videos on Medal. #balatro
(if you're wondering why i paused in the middle of the first hand something fell on the floor and startled me irl lmao)
green deck is next
fitting that its vomit coloured cause it'll make me feel nauseous having to play it
amazing luck
i have a new favorite hand to play
Straights, idk why but they tickle my brain
Probably but my deck is mostly filled with steel
fuckin immediately pulled riff raff lets go
You're a special man
Agree tho
Straight flush spefically makes me feel good
i just lost coz the deck i pulled literally could not have led to 450 </3
im not a man :3
i just botched one of my best runs
What an odd thing to say
Discord thinks otherwise
discord is transphobic wow
I knew it 😔
Not a surprise
Scary
That's why I don't go for it without good ol shortcut
theyre so fun to play though...
and they have good scaling....
actually so fucking peak
Hell yeah
RNGESUS BLESSES US THIS DAY
Let us know how the run goes
(lusty joker is only there coz it was the best option out of a buffoon pack)
ill probably fuck it up
i haven't heard the normal balatro theme in weeks
Them hope your deck is set for straight already
With I think it was lovers the one they turned cards into heart cards twice and lusty joker with mult
actually crazy riff raff pulls
Love this run
I have the seed copied if you want it
i do want to try and move to royal flushes eventually if i cant
Flushes my beloved
Ouch
we're trying to roll for cavendish
i want to fucking hold r
ante 4 and i have absolutely nothing to my name
good lord
Nah just keep going
99 of gamblers quit before they hit big you know?
This why we prioritize economy first
wait cavendish is common right?
That's rough atleast your not a quitter
Yah
Is chicot burglar needle
what
during
An imp fun in balatro?
when you select blind on needle it gives you +3 hands
but it's bp incompatible and it doesn't steal your discards
also it scales based on your base hand count
so uhh sorta ish kinda
far from a bad joker hand tbh
Gives you a hand
hey, it's what i got lol
It does have a purpose that I will say
its called "the game literally gave me no money cards" and riff-raff couldnt do anything anymore
i do have to the moon at least
i mean when did you sell it
i have no idea what you mean lol
In my opinion having no economy card is kinda risky tho
now that ive done nebula deck gold stake its time to update my 100% OPINIONATED gold stake tier list based on my PERSONAL EXPERIENCES with them
the riff raff
magic in b 💔
Idk why i just didnt have a great time with it
when we got constellation lol
Plasma in s
had a blast up til orange stake

then it just fell off a damn cliff
the only decks ive outright gotten pissed off at doing gold stake for, though, was zodiac and anaglyph
zodiac deck orange stake+ is a stage 4 cancer
you barely find any jokers and then the few ones you do are either rental, eternal, perishable, bad/situational, or a combo of those
Yeah shi useless
painted deck was a blast
i just spammed straights
or flushes if i got an early arrowhead/onyx agate 
There's prolly worse opinion there this aight
i dont get why so many people hate nebula deck
telescope is one of my fav vouchers
and starting with it already in your possession means you can play around it from the first ante pretty much
which makes it even better
the -1 consumable slot is annoying but unless you have like 15 purple/blue seals i dont really think it matters that much
Nebula's upside makes the game boring and nebula's downside makes the game boring
it just means youre more likely to avoid 8 ball, vagabond, hallucination, and emperor
it's like anaglyph but slightly better
does this only pick suits that are in your deck
no
The one right next to it does
Based
fun is subjective
because -1 consumable slots is
annoying
is castle good?
depends on the situation/your deck
mmm
you cant say that and then ask the question not knowing why people hate nebula deck
It is a scaling +chips joker
its main niche is scaling with discards and being uncommon
like yes its subjective but it goes both ways 😭
ok well what i meant by saying that was
i have 20 hours i dont get what you're saying here lol
yes
thats moreso what i meant
it is objectively a bottom 3 deck
It is a la square joker or runner
3-4
square's niche is consistency
Having a scaling is pretty decent late game
my highest score is like ante 12 gimme a break ;w;
whyd i have an easier time with it than magic deck then 
ill get rid of crazy joker for it
Use the fool
i did
i mean im on ante eight and i dont intend to go into endless with this lol
unless i was just using them too fast/on the wrong things
You can set your early game like crazy with it which I love
i did have good experiences with it on the lower/mid stakes
but once i reached purple stake it just went stupid
okay wow yeah i needed the extra chips more than i needed the extra mult
i dont even remember the specific details of what went wrong
i just remember having a miserable time and dying plenty of times to the mid antes
Chat, do I get the special edition for the switch? I already own the game on pc and mobile
Not a fan of chips but I understand why people like it
if anyone says castle is bad they are severely misinformed and/or spoiled and/or dumb dumb
Plasma deck when chips:
welp. its all up to luck from here
given the fact that chips are half of your score
You do need chips in any run
Wishing you luck
theres absolutely zero way i could see nebula deck being worse than green deck though
i think we lose
Tbh i wish you could just buy the special edition cards
ceruluean bell is literally only picking cards we need
i think chips are half of their score…
I think chips are half your score
I prioritise multiplier when late game soo
its forced me to delete my 10, queen, jack, and ace
Like, i have two copies of the game
1 x 300 is less than 20 x 100
I just want the cards to have the cards
Ykw, just to spite you, I'm going to build a deck that gets minimal chips and maxes out mult
you know. cerulean bell is my most hated boss out of them all
I believe
i would protest but it's abk we're talking about
i hate the eye and violet vessel most
fucking hate this bastard

ruined my red deck red stake right at the finish line
Sometimes you get enough chips from planets if you level them high
and thats why i had a good time with nebula deck 
This is only a big problem with 5 card hands
is it because you play straights
didnt need a chips joker cause i got level 20 pair every run
early supernova
Oh nvm, none of the good cards come with it
yeah
True just spamming planet is pretty bonker
im aware
dont gotta explain that to me, im not a lobotomite
Might sound a little mean but it's funny you complain about it on Red Stake
I mean
I'd understand in Blue
you're complaining about something you're putting yourself in
if you got a supernova you prob shouldve played pairs or smthn
to scale up that nova as much as possible
im complaining about a boss. everyone complains about bosses dummy
red stake is still one of the worst stakes imo
its COMPLETELY avoidable though
Only the more detrimental ones
i need to find that writeup
Well bell is the most nothing burger of a boss
Why do we lose Balatro runs?
Because you don't score enough to beat the blind
this can happen for 3 and only 3 reasons:
- Your jokers suck ass
- The boss blind fucks you
- You don't draw your dogshit hand
Not all Bossblinds are worth complaining about
it is
Can I connect my steam progress to balatro on my phone?
and cerulean is detrimental to me, hence i am complaining about it
In a "nothing burger" way I'd agree
No
it does almost nothing on its own though its pretty much only a problem combined with the other stakes
I don't think there is a single lose case falling outside of these 3 parameters
yep
If possible, try not to lose
But it does suck not having early money in later stakes
but you put yourself in that position
for it to be detrimental to you
Which is probably your fault
It's a very easy to counter bossblind
isolated yeah
Basically all my runs ever
christ are yall this obnoxious usually or is this a new behavior?
Idk man, we probably play too much
That was one run
You need to get used to losing
I mean even for a 5 card hand it's still 5 in 8 to select the card you need anyway
That's gonna happen ALOT in later stakes
we just trying to help you improve so you dont get screwed over again 
i had a straight build going, cerulean countered my build, i couldnt pivot my build like that
sybau
it sounds more like im being told that saying i hate a boss isnt allowed lmao
who
I thought that was a certain owl vtuber
Yours truly
nobody is saying that
it definitely is allowed
i fucking hate the boss design for 90% of the bosses
i dont care that i lost beyond having to play red deck again, i was just complaining about that boss
cerulean bell is a boss blind that exists and honestly should be buffed to be harder
Elite ball knowledge
your words
The card selected have to score
they feel less like skillful encounters and more like just "fuck this build in particular, everyone else gets a free pass"
I almost always watch Vtubers
I feel confident in saying that it does counter builds that normally don't lose to other finishers

What does it even do?
yeah, fair. i still dont like it lol
cerulean bell buff, five cards are selected
Make it like a slot machine, it changes in real time
forces you to select a random card
yes, I'm saying you can AVOID the problem with the boss blind itself very easily
i do not agree with that
Force selects one card
Very bad for 5 card hands
Complete nothing for lower hands
nothing I can do to stop it
i dont see any way you buff cerulean bell without making it cancer
A buff could be that
The selected card have to score
That actually infinitely makes it even harder lmfao
well im pivoting away from straights this build, a half joker is a good sign
Well it's a buff
That'd be a boss worth complaining about
Oh yeah that's pretty annoying I think I died once to it
for a finisher boss it needs a buff
I never did, at least not that I remember
what if the bell just instantly made you lose your run
i'd rather the boss be too easy than complete bullshit
welp, here i go high cardin again
VV hogged them all
the other 3 stink
Half of them are just funny
amber corn
VV is probably my favorite
amber acorn has the least aura
That's like, the easiest ante 8 boss
bro gets countered by existing
Oh no! I can't see my jokers! Would be a shame if I just slowed the game down!
acorn would be fun if yo ucouldnt just grab a joker to counter it
yeah
What in the SpongeBob
the council has decided:
high card
oh its perishable
you can still slow it down
amber cork as a concept cannot be changed to be any better
The wall is my favourite just for the satisfaction of beating a huge blind
pairs
no
you shouldnt play high card usually unless you got a big source of chips
Vessel feels the most intimidating
like stuntman
you need chips
it is
And feels like an actual boss despite being so simple
vessel gave me a huge fucking scare on my zodiac deck gold stake win
yeah? i can get them from jokers
vessel be scaring me
also: lol
but i have to say im not a fan of just how massive of a jump it is
I hate crimson heart the most
Pairs just scale harder
level up mercuries
Since its rng to just end you if you are relying on all ur jokers
With basically the same odds
i love white stake
Crimson Heart should be easy but it feels bullshit
like personally i feel like there should be a way to know what bosses are going to appear before you get to their ante
no that would
trivialize the game
whether it be a joker or a voucher or a deck
you have an entire ante to prepare for it
seeded runs
i feel like yall dont realize that when i say "no" to something it means "you cant change my mind on it", even if i say it respectfully
this mf wants the EASIER mode
which dont contribute for achievements
Really? I feel it's pretty simple
Then we just don't get the "Roguelike" part of the game now do we?
i mean it's still a roguelike
that was never a requirement that I had been aware of
i want to not be fucked by the worst possible boss blind appearing on ante 7 and the game giving me 0 ways to counter it
thats fair, but an unfortunate outlook
not always possible
so will most convos with you in this discussion channel
Just have a safety net to fall on
me when glass cqrd
just be one sided with no room for a change in mind
not always possible
asking genuinely
This chat is aggressively helpful
glass is useless if 90% of your mult comes from +mult jokers like grimbo or nova
not always possible
it's funny how most of the time it is possible
if i say no, then yes because it means i said no to your advice
theres already a joker and voucher for that
mate if your mult is coming from jokers most boss blinds won't hurt you????
but that doesn't answer my question
The surprise element is what makes Balatro fun for me
Upgrading my full house while maxing my flush is always reliable
do you lack reading comprehension?
yes its always possible
needle
wall
vv
ch
what a weird thing to say
need more examples?
calm down
I feel like some people here could make an interesting podcast
Aggressively helpful
What the hell do you want?
i do not want to see what a balatro players podcast is
I agree
Will kill you if you don't take the advice
yeah lmfao, seriously
For sure one moment you finally optimize your deck then the boss blind hits you with no counter whatsoever
is it really hard to just go
"hey heres advice"
"i dont need it"
"ok"
That's what makes Balatro good for me, you can NEVER be careful
Tbf you are asking for advice
for ante 8 game play there is always a way to counter a boss blind
Which means tou need one
From what I'm getting, you were asking.
"Help"
"advice"
"No"
they werent asking for advice, im 99%sure
i... im pretty sure i never asked for advice? i just went "cerulean bell sucks" and it became this
The comment would be full of comment calling the people's opinions stupid
Anythinf about the game is percieved as one
cerulean bell is GREAT!!

it is very great
I love cerulean bell
those WHO BELL!!

I don't understand how anyone takes anything here seriously.
enjoy the game or something
the literal ONE TIME i took bootstraps on a gold stake run because i had like $300 from ankhing a holo rebate on ante 1 and got money tree
what appears on ante 7?
the ox
where was my only source of chips?
pair levels (didn't find a compatible +chips joker early enough)
spent the whole ante looking for a luchador or some different mult joker to replace the bootstraps with
was forced to take a blackboard instead which neutered my score but i scraped by
and then ante 8 gave violet vessel
spend the whole ante looking for justice and chariot, none appeared
neither do I
not really sure what im supposed to do in a situation like that
i did NOT do this but okay balatro :3
your mistake is relying on bootstraps
i needed the score and had 300 dollars lol
You probably did
its important to take things as seriously or as unseriously as it needs to be
theres alot to dissect in that big paragraph
It's easy to miss that
that just shows you fumbled an easy win
You can actually just cull hearts too and it'll count
losing with double holo rebate
okay weird, guess that explains it?
unfortunately I am a gimmick account here and have no real opinion until a topic is made
ah yes my fault for taking a joker that synergized with my build :L
I remember seeing a tier list of trash joker and comment is just full of "do you even play balatro?" shi makes me laugh
it is your fault since you lost
That's how I did the suit achievements, just reduce them
I need to see this
I don't really know how i got stm
it wouldnt have been if the game didnt spawn the 2 literal worst possible bosses back to back
one more stake and i’m done with c+
one card away from the royal flush
Hey Angel
you aren't wrong about that
those who blue
posting a tier list is definitely the best way to have a good time
i hate black deck
but the game also doesn't cater to your build
tierlist?
heres mine
I'll agree with that
Easiest way to ragebait is to make a bad tierlist
Currently trying to Gold Stake Black for the 4th time
heres my ante 8 gold stake tierlist

#balatro #jokers #top10
SEO STUFF: (does it work? idk but its worth a try lulz)
Think you’ve mastered every Joker Balatro has to offer? Think again. In this video, we break down the 10 worst Jokers that can derail your run, sabo...
Here
asterisk, any
Oh yeah, this guy sucks lmfao
this is so true
i know people say "always expect the worst boss to appear at the worst time and prepare for it" but 1: theres so many different bosses that expecting the player to consider a way to counter every single one is stupid
2: expecting them to be able to FIND a way to counter every single one is even more stupid
3: sometimes you have no choice but to build into something that gets countered by a boss because you need to build into something immediately or you die
any tierlist will have people arguing
i think balatro is great but i will forever think that its bosses are garbage overall
This kind of goes with my point that you can NEVER be too careful, you can do the best possible decisions and the game will still fuck you over
Well if it is objectively good not really
guys give me interactions
"fuck this class/build in particular" is bad game design
nitpick it so I can make it better
Which is part of the fun of it, the bullshit part
there's always an outlier
no what you're doing is coping
Damn we're even arguing about this
I just realized
boss blinds countering builds is

not bad game design
I do agree on the loyalty card
yeah sure buddy whatever
I feel you I've been struggling a lot
are you seeing the vision
That's kind of their point though, they test the build you're doing
Not even about the tierlist💔
i dont think balatros bosses are bad game design personally, even if they are very much "counter this build in particular" you have time to prepare for them, and they help prevent a single build from being completely dominant
Hit the Road is in A tier I don't need to look at anything else
Boss blinds are necessary for the game
you are clearly the goat
They have to exist
I've had a run where I was running FULL on Queens with shoot the moon mime steels, but the plant appeared, the reason I didn't die was because I had a gigantic Hologram lmfao
they don't really though they just kill you if youre using a specific build it doesnt like or in the case of certain bosses just kill you if you havent been able to scale enough to one shot them, or kill you if you fail to draw the right hand
2016 LeBron James
its pretty good
people who complain abt them are bad at balatro
That is their point
thank you brotato
They keep a run feel a little bit more high stakes
If bossblinds like that didn't exist in the game, then you're only gonna be winning
how that "testing" your build though
its not punishing you for making a mistake its punishing you for playing the game
Why do we lose Balatro runs?
Because you don't score enough to beat the blind
this can happen for 3 and only 3 reasons:
- Your jokers suck ass
- The boss blind fucks you
- You don't draw your dogshit hand
Do you think this is fun?
Boss blind is just bosses you see on rogue like game
after all these tierlists of Hit the Road being in D tier and C tier someone finally understands peak
how'd you do so
I have won my existence has been finalized
i always forget this dudes boss ability
Do you complain when you get absolutely clobbered by the Bell Bearing Hunter in Nightreign?
its underrated but I may overrate it a tiny bit
Do you complain when you lose to the Time Keeper in Slay the Spire?
Not having any way to gain money gotta be in that
balatro player moment
i forgot it TWICE
we all forget to read

Or fuckin Grimm from Hollow Knight
Bosses are meant to be challenging
the time keeper is fair and balanced (⏱️+1)
and there are also people who are too headstrong in their opinions
this game is VERY balanced

being a guaranteed death if you play a normally reasonable way to play and completely free if you didnt play that specific way isnt challenging
Also, there's like, a way to counter a boss by just not focusing on synergy at all
I love not reading boss blind ability and getting shocked when it screwed my ass
What if there's a deck with no bosses but more aggressive scaling
so then you just die before you even reach the boss?
You can go raw scoring power without focusing on a specific rank
im not shocked. i just always forget to actually play a full hand
Flint says hi
Synergy is not everything
I do give you that the challenging in balatro is not the same type as other games, but then again, balatro isnt the same type as other games
mult chips and x mult is
very easy to pull off
and is very consistent
pain, i would take you if riff raff wasnt there ;w;
You are not playing Golden Needle, just play multiple hands
1/4 of your score :/
I hope you realize that your entire philosophy falls apart when winstreaks is a thing
I have this run that just didn't focus at all on any synergy
because you're straight up talking like the game has a built in way to just end your runs
Just raw score and big ass chips
why the gorbo
what exactly do you mean by synergy then
but coping about it and saying its bad game design IS cope
I got him very early
Sometimes big numbers is enough
Then why the rod cor
there will always be runs where you just get fucked by a boss blind
I also got him early
it happens to everyone
yes boss blinds do fuck over runs
i just dont like how they fuck you
that is what they're meant to do
pause
What kind of idiots are voting ecks mult
🙂
That's completely okay, you don't have to be bummed out about ONE run, this game is giving you infinite tries to finish ante 8
Yeah I wonder
i usually don't
Maybe I played the game too much
nobody also says flat mult despite what they'd have you believe
But I really don't see the issues you did
Yes and a multiplier symbol is not an x
There is only ONE bossblind I complained alot about but I also know it's kind of my fault
I fucking hate the Hook
one boss blind is dedicated to ruining my day at all opportunities
an x is an x
if it was listed *mult then id agree that it should be times mult
everyone has to guess what
Whether I'm already winning or losing, I hate this damn boss so damn much
I'm gonna guess Crimson
changed it a tiny bit rate my gs a8 tierlist
Nah you valid the replayability is insanely fun
also xmult is easier/rolls off the tongue better to say
:(
1 syllable vs 2
Was I right?
huh
Myes
rebate cavendish yorick on top 3 tier list valid
I feel like Seeing Double is stronger than people think
It is x2 mult
crazy fucking synergy right here
But A is still a valid placement for it
rebate is too strong
It is exactly as strong as people think
I didn't know there's people who use vagabond other than me
thats why its up there
vagabond is a goated joker
Vagabond is balatro creative mode
the value gen is unreal
I just won alot of runs with, I didn't think it'd be that good before
it just seems like any time i try to do anything cool in the game, whether i want to do it or im forced to by circumstance, there's always just that one boss around the corner ready to go "mmm nope"
it happens all the time for me
A tarot card EVERY hand is pretty fucking strong
rebate just immediately takes #1 for how strong it is :(
I fucking love mail in rebate
That's the problem, you go in with a plan and stick to it
I hate rebate
they need to nerf the shit out of it
This is a roguelike
joker pisses me off
You do not get the privilege of having a plan
pairs
Go in without expecting you'll get what you want
oh i got an arrowhead in ante 1? with some world cards? maybe ill try playing some flushes this time
the goad then appears ante 4
We don't include that.
this isn't very good synergy since it locks you into playing high card
if you want to get value from both
i dont try to unless i'm forced to
It's not a terrible hand
Yeah, looks like it is kind of a you problem
Complaining about a suit boss is hilarious to me
I'd probably understand if it's Bloodstone
alright
😭
I only find that a problem in endless runs
The same could be said of all 150 jokers in the game
It's a very bad example
very true
Your previous run was more valid
Back to back bossblinds that completely screws you over can feel absolutely bullshit
But I'd just laugh
the flint into the wall into vv
but
k how bout the one time i try playing straights cause i got a negative order from a booster pack with a blue seal and it spawns the hook in ante 5 and fails to draw the straight
I have a slight feeling
Wall into vv is fine
thats not the boss blinds they're complaining about
Straights are naturally hard to draw
because if you can't beat a7 wall you can't beat the a8 boss blind in general
You still have the option to make it easier
not necessarily
Well...
you can get enough resources to get yourself to that point AFTER ante 7
but obviously you'd be getting fucked by violet vessel
so i shouldnt be allowed to experiment at all?
strawman
so its just a 20% chance of passing away
If you can score enough for wall, that doesn't mean your cards won't get fucked over by Crimson or Leaf (if you have alot of eternals)
every single run should just be pair pair pair pair pair maybe some high card or two pair if im feeling zesty?
strawman of death and doom
Strawman
also only play two pair when using pants
I don't call that experimenting, more like you failed to make your deck more consistent for straights
im okay with this
straights are good
You might be getting ragebaited idk man
You lost cuz you probably didn't count correctly and still had alot of duplicates
There is no ragebaiting here
more like the game didnt give me enough of the right tarot cards and because i had an easy time drawing them literally every single other round i didnt think much of it
the eye[?] is coming
You have alot of options to get some
Some jokers are specifically for tarot cards, there's purple seals
i literally had a superposition and it still didnt get me what i needed
Packs aren't the only one
80% of them were suit changers
I find that I get more consistent results with Hallucination, I recommend getting that alot in your runs
Im feeling the rush again anyway so I'm gonna go back and grinding again
