[delicate tide]

Wdym

For a bit as in like

Scoring

[lost vault]

dude just find synergies and the jokers good its that easy

[serene forge]

what godlike face card retrigger synergy are you looking for to take a gamble for it over guaranteed stability

[delicate tide]

😭 😭

[serene forge]

so true

[delicate tide]

Stability is so common I’d rather have retriggers that can generate value

Potentially

[serene forge]

you can fuck around on gold stake but only after you have something good established

you have nothing here

[lost vault]

100 dollars is at stake here

[delicate tide]

You have nothing in a base game

So like

[serene forge]

this isn't sock vs nothing

[lost vault]

so the guaranteed stabikity is very good

[serene forge]

this is sock vs gluttonous

[lost vault]

true

[delicate tide]

Stability is so common

Like

[serene forge]

you would be picking sock over something that keeps you safe for a while

[delicate tide]

Sock and ghost deck

[lost vault]

anyway i just wanted to say the people who voted idol are complete and whole morons

[serene forge]

you can hex the gluttonous too you know

[delicate tide]

Safety until I find one of the 600 +mult jokers

[delicate tide]

Woah crazy

[lost vault]

might as well sell for interest am i right

[serene forge]

yeah wild idea i know right

[serene forge]

baseball card synergy obviously

[delicate tide]

I’m just confident enough in my early games where I’d rather have potential for extra value or scoring

[lost vault]

wait i just realized!!! sock in buttskin is better than glutty joker because bbc value

[serene forge]

so true !

[cursive crater]

to the moon synergy

[lost vault]

…?

oh ttm

[cursive crater]

or wasit shoot the moon

[lost vault]

mybad

???

[cursive crater]

i keep confusing the two

[lost vault]

shoot the moon is the mult guy

[cursive crater]

alr

[lost vault]

w deckfixes

[delicate tide]

Steel joker is correct here

Trust

[lost vault]

9% invis is crazy work

yes i’d rather have Meet Potential Joker! instead of guaranteed win

[serene forge]

i think if you could start every game with a yorick it would be physically impossible to lose even if you tried

[modest siren]

Yorick is objectively the right answer

[lost vault]

the sell button:

[serene forge]

now you're playing yellow deck

so same thing basically

[lost vault]

mm

fair nuh

chat is yorick burglar a good synergy if you get the hook every ane

ante

[modest siren]

I beat gold stake like 3 more times and still couldn't get seltzer close to the end, except on one run where I lost because of needle

[modest siren]

If you have a bunch of blueprints or brainstorms, but at that point, just have them copy yorick

[lost vault]

idea: both

bungler and yorick activate at different times

why not just do both

spend all ur hands scaling the rick

then copy rick

[modest siren]

I suppose. Idk, I'm too sleepy for this. Good night

[lost vault]

eepy

[wintry ice]

what if you merry andy

[lost vault]

cant be blueprinted :(

[night cradle]

How convenient

[lost vault]

?

[night cradle]

Yorick

[wintry ice]

i've never had a polychrome playing card run

[delicate tide]

How

That’s crazy

They are so fun

[wintry ice]

well they are kinda rare

[night cradle]

This one crazy

[wintry ice]

and going with the bread and butter is extremely safe

[lost vault]

too many mimes

[delicate tide]

Ig no uncommons brought more runs with polychrom runs out of me

[lost vault]

shouldve held onto showman for baron/bp

[frank grove]

I’ve done a couple poly card runs but like only if I’ve picked up a chad

[night cradle]

Why not it would be funny

[oblique stag]

guys what do i do

[wintry ice]

sell dusk

[modest siren]

Give up the run, you can't win

[lost vault]

wuh

[lost vault]

no mroe dusk

[modest siren]

Literally impossible

[oblique stag]

which ones do i copy for max score? bloodstone or sockandbussin

[lost vault]

double copy rarking for money

moneymoneymoney

[modest siren]

Copy each once

[hallow wadi]

Been playing more gold stake lately and this is my thoughts on the decks for gold stake specifically

[oblique stag]

okay ty

[lost vault]

abandoned is awesome sauce

[hallow wadi]

Abandoned is definitely the cut off point for me in decks I would use myself in gold stake

[night cradle]

One day I will nainif

[lost vault]

use plasma

it is

way easier

also errmm it is naneinf

[night cradle]

I need burglar

In plasma

[lost vault]

burglar is good tegg

tech

heres a bit of advice

take any handsize joker into the crimson heart boss blind

[dark cairn]

HOLY MOLY

[lost vault]

negative or positive

[hallow wadi]

Having no face cards is nice for deck fixing and having a slimmer deck is nicer for early game compared to the full 52 for consistency but i've been rage baited by a few too many souls i can't lie

[lost vault]

crimson bean my beloved

[wary holly]

hey guys, i wanted to know what are the techniques used to get to higher antes (i only got to 11) and make those crazy scores that have an "e" attached to the number

[frank grove]

As a zodiac and abandoned enjoyer this pains me

[wary holly]

is this only possible with that joker that makes each king multiply by 1.5x?

[lost vault]

the “e” is just scientific notation, meaning e11 = 10^11
e11 is the lowest number at which the game switches to scientific notation, which is i think 100bil

[silk tapir]

took a voucher skip

[lost vault]

theres a lotta ways to do it i think

baron mime has the highest sealing

cielimh

dndjirororpt

[silk tapir]

didn't even need to sell luchador here

[lost vault]

but

[modest siren]

Free my boy checkered, he didn't do nothing wrong

[lost vault]

the easiest way is just glass card retriggers

[night cradle]

Does it need to disable handsize joker?

[hallow wadi]

It makes fishing for Bloodstone great and flushes are fairly consistent for early game but i'd rather eat hardtack than play flushes all game

[dark cairn]

tempting to ecto here but i think that would be extremely stupid

[lost vault]

yeah
when crimson heart disables a positive handsize joker, play a hand so the joker is re-enabled, then exit the run and reopen it, you will gain permanent handsize

[frank grove]

Balatro University has a video on the bug thats fairly detailed, I think the video is called “crimson heart exploit explained” or smth

[lost vault]

this also works with mandy and stuntman byt instead you leave the game when they are debuffed and not the hand after

[dark cairn]

fuck it, we ball

[modest siren]

Flush my beloved (they're just so easily consistent)

[night cradle]

Oh well i will keep that in mind

[lost vault]

you can probably find a better explanation on yt .^.

[wintry ice]

flushes don't really have a proper advantage over pairs outside of checkered

there are jokers like agate, arrow and aj but

1 of them is usable with other hands anyways

arguably 2 because aj is decent for straights but flushes are better for it

[modest siren]

Sort of just depends on what you get given early on

[wary holly]

so like 2.900e13 (which is ante 14) is 2.9 * 10 ^ 13?

[lost vault]

yep

just a note

[wary holly]

what is sealing?

[wintry ice]

with how easy to draw the hand is, most early jokers nudge you into a pair build

[modest siren]

Ceiling

[lost vault]

it is considerably easier to reach scientific notation on plasma deco

[fervent pebble]

🥹

[lost vault]

ceiling but im a fucking dunce and spelled it wrong

[serene forge]

why the hell would you ever fish for bloodstone

[wary holly]

how to retrigger a glass card? and how to make my whole deck glass?

[hallow wadi]

you don't that's why it's in kinda bad tier

[serene forge]

I mean checkered isn't bad

it enables flush house easier

and (regrettably) has a good early game

[lost vault]

retriggering glass cards is easy
jokers like dusk, seltzer, sock and buskin, hack
also red seal
as for how to get them, i find that leaning into purple seals can make it really easy to fix your deck so look out for those in standard packs

[hallow wadi]

yeah it does

it also just isnt fun for me to play personally

[swift moss]

[lost vault]

also just look out for tarotgen or deck fixing jokers in general, ie vagabond, hallucination, trading card, dna

i usually shit on dna but its good for maintaining glass cards

[swift moss]

?!

[wary holly]

i appreciate mostly your tips, im gonna try to build more into red and purple seals and use more of this jokers on my future runs

[lost vault]

fuck apple for making this nontransparent

[wintry ice]

project sekai

[serene forge]

bloodstone is really transphobic :(

[lost vault]

no prob :3 deck fixing is a big part of making a strong build

[swift moss]

oh god

[manic talon]

people just be saying shit

[serene forge]

these stickers have no right being as funny as they are

[lost vault]

foreal

[last bolt]

Thanks, Emperor.

[waxen shoal]

a wheel for your new ultra invisible joker!

[dark cairn]

a black deck run that was actually fun, never thought i'd see the day

So only 2 runs left and I'll be at C+

[wintry ice]

he was ploded.

[shadow shore]

Holy

I just won without any x mult

[lost vault]

not a big feat on plasma

[wintry ice]

me who hasn't played that game in like 8 months

(the last thing i played was some random normal chart on a friend's ipad)

[serene forge]

i downloaded it months ago then didn't touch it a single time then started playing a couple weeks ago because my girlfriend plays it

[lost vault]

gay

that is awesoke

me

[wintry ice]

i just play arcaea and rotaeno instead

i like the gameplay of those gsmes better

most of the good stuff for those games is paid tho

[shadow shore]

🥀 💔 buzz kill

[waxen shoal]

so true

[lost vault]

sorry i didnt mesn to down play ur achievement i was just its the dirsts thought i had wawawawawa

good jobe

[manic talon]

strongest green joker

[lost vault]

i might need to get the trans balatro mod it looks nice

[wintry ice]

why do you bother trying to talk to reddit at this point

[lost vault]

because its funny, probably

[serene forge]

the same reason why some people use 4chan

[wintry ice]

talk to your gf instead or whatever

[serene forge]

except I don't hate myself enough to go that far

[manic talon]

this one isnt even that bad

theyre literally correct

[acoustic kettle]

Flushes are just pairs

[wintry ice]

looks inside
checkered main

[manic talon]

which part of the comment is incorrect, you people are just brain rotted from pairs

[heavy heron]

i disagree

[frank grove]

dont flush levels just scale at like what +1 more mult than pairs do?

[heavy heron]

2 mult 🥰

yall sleeping on the 2 mult

it’s so tasty

[wintry ice]

chips taste better

[heavy heron]

good thing it has both!

[acoustic kettle]

Where my xchips

[wintry ice]

wait if chips are chips then what's mult

[acoustic kettle]

Sauce

[serene forge]

queso

[heavy heron]

ewww

[serene forge]

i fucking hate mult then

[waxen shoal]

blue ranch dip

[serene forge]

queso sucks

[heavy heron]

i know bro

thank you

[wintry ice]

is queso like a cheese sauce

[heavy heron]

bit of a cheesy take but it’s not good

[heavy heron]

yes

[serene forge]

yea

[wintry ice]

get it

[waxen shoal]

yee, melted cheese

[heavy heron]

hehehehehehe

[serene forge]

you're going to hell for that

[heavy heron]

what the hell

[lost vault]

meow

[heavy heron]

someone already told me i’m going to hell for flushes

[waxen shoal]

meowwwww

[heavy heron]

now i’m going to hell for my puns

[lost vault]

meowmeowmeowmeow

[heavy heron]

what’s my most recent balatro in my gallery

[wintry ice]

this is almost on the same level as what kami threathened to do to me today

[waxen shoal]

nyaaaaaa

[heavy heron]

what is this

[heavy heron]

what’d she do

[serene forge]

vore?

[heavy heron]

oh just a madness run

boring

[heavy heron]

😨

[wintry ice]

anyways potatos go well with mayo sauces

[acoustic kettle]

Mayo goes well with anything

[wintry ice]

i'm a big mayo fan

[acoustic kettle]

Mayo works well with sweet things

[dark cairn]

does it go well with instruments

[acoustic kettle]

No

[wintry ice]

whuh

[lost vault]

insane work

[acoustic kettle]

Nah

Hear me out

Brownies

[lost vault]

no i will not hear you out

[serene forge]

fuck you

for bringing that image to mind

[frank grove]

"i love my egg covered brownies"

[acoustic kettle]

Wafers with mayo is really good

[wintry ice]

i ran out of things to say so i will call you a bijou fan

[acoustic kettle]

What's a bijou

[lost vault]

this has to be bait
for your own goood

[acoustic kettle]

You all just aren't curious enough

[frank grove]

curious George isnt even that curious

[acoustic kettle]

Mayo is like hot sauce

Goes well with anything

[hallow wadi]

Both of those statements are questionable

Then again I put banana ketchup on anything dry and savory so eh

[wintry ice]

peanuts go well with most things

[acoustic kettle]

Nah peanuts aren't really it

[manic talon]

peanut's just fat, you can put it in anything

[waxen shoal]

Hey chat, what do you think of this silly build i won with a while back

[acoustic kettle]

Gamble max

[waxen shoal]

Leave it all to luck

[analog mulch]

I thought I was dead, but lucky ass purple seal gave me the glass I needed

[acoustic kettle]

J

[lost vault]

chat how many copies of perkeo are needed to outscale the endless scaling with observatory

[wintry ice]

doc did something like this

you need like 8 or so

[lost vault]

damm thats a lot

would it be less on plasma

like 4

[acoustic kettle]

What if blueprint on the far right retriggers all planets

[lost vault]

why in gods name would it do that

if anything it would copy the 1.5x from just one planet

[acoustic kettle]

Retrigger the consumable

So uh

All consumables

The consumable are consumed

Idk where i'm going with this

[lost vault]

blueprint doesnt retrigger

[acoustic kettle]

It does

[lost vault]

no

it

it does not retrigger

it takes the joker’s effect for itself

if it retriggered it would reactivate editions to

it does not do that

it is not “retrigger joker to the right”

i swear some balstro players just dont read

[floral mural]

this madness kinda nasty

[analog mulch]

play with your wee 🔥

[lost vault]

what the penis

[wary holly]

lol

[foggy yew]

Outta all 5 legendaries, you've gotta be kidding me

[floral mural]

its workable

[lost vault]

oh no my lobster it is too buttery whatever will i do

you do know discarding does not reset grimbo it just slows him down

welll worth the cmult

[floral mural]

hell if youre that worried for flat mult then hold off on discarding for 2 antes or even less to scale up grimbi

and then start discarding

its free xmult

also i got grimbo eternal on ante 3 so uhh

this run is so dumb

praise hallucination i swear

[potent tree]

honestly i haven't been taking hallu all that much lately

[lost vault]

hallu gosted

goaed

ted

i love

deckfixes

[floral mural]

do i take boss reroll tag just for the lols

hoping for violet vessel

I GOT IT FUCK YEAH

level 29 pair

[potent tree]

"just for the lols" playing pairs and grimbo madness is literally free...yes photo dies if you don't skip but still

i mean CB would still be far easier

[floral mural]

i got it right before the vessel

[potent tree]

free xmult tho!

[floral mural]

i wanted to oneshot it since i found glass by chance

run so easy you make sidequests

[potent tree]

i guess that's true

[lost vault]

doing tricks on it

idk

stacking donuts on it ???

[faint linden]

Am I the only one struggling with Orange Stake?

[stable owl]

Bro I can’t even get through green

[faint linden]

I had to use Canio on Purple

[fervent pebble]

oh ok

nice

also got ancient joker

3 rares from the get go

[lost vault]

baron is trash i am sorry you got that

[wind jolt]

Skip haters will say it’s fake

[fervent pebble]

its good enough

who hates on blind skips

[wind jolt]

Lots of people here

[fervent pebble]

weird

[lost vault]

as a skip hater it is infact real

just

not likelyp

also baron sucks ass

[fervent pebble]

just get dna!!!!!!

[lost vault]

blind skips are really bad you’llncome to learn hopefully

[potent tree]

again i will say this...i fullskipped with throwback on black deck gold stake and won

[lost vault]

oh duh!! why didnt i fucking think of that!! just summon a joker out of my ass!! because you have perfect control over your runs in this game!!

[potent tree]

skipping is not always a bad idea

[wind jolt]

REAL

[lost vault]

almost always is though

[potent tree]

but yes baron is 💩

[fervent pebble]

balatro players when they see an obvious joke:

[wind jolt]

Baron is literally only good with mime

[potent tree]

nanlets incoming

[lost vault]

no but that is actually not that obvious because that is something people genuinely say
just use tone tags

[fervent pebble]

🐟

[lost vault]

theres so many times where im like arguing if a joker is good and theyre like

ohhh duh its good if you get x joker

like thats valid

[fervent pebble]

why do you willingly interact with ragebait

[lost vault]

i dont

i have a hard time detecting rage bait

unless its like painfully obvious

rage bait and trolling are so stupid can we stop doing it please please pelase

[potent tree]

honestly idk why i feel like i deserve to dunk on baron when photochad are my top 2 jokers

[fervent pebble]

photochad my beloved

[lost vault]

i wanna discuss game i like not try to do that and instead get someone just getting a high off of making me mad

[lost vault]

photo chad is at least viable for non endless

baron is like just stinky

[acoustic kettle]

I mean skips are rarely good

[lost vault]

yeah

[fervent pebble]

wheel of fortune is always my highest tarot i love gambling

[delicate tide]

Bro like who cares abt ur top 10

[acoustic kettle]

At least you got one good hit

[potent tree]

some people do i know

[lost vault]

i hate wheel of fortune

[delicate tide]

This server is so cooked and it’s so like bent that noobs only use certain stuff and everyone sucks if they rely on Photochad

[potent tree]

someone has a profile where their only two used tarots are wheel and hermit i think

[lost vault]

dumb gay tarot card give me death or give me death

[delicate tide]

Judgement and wheel

That’s wall

[lost vault]

or hung men uwu

[potent tree]

oh right judgement

[delicate tide]

More for fun tho it’s dif

Challenge profile

[faint linden]

If only we had a quotes channel

[delicate tide]

Like I have one too but that’s for the challenge not the stars

I just like hate ppl hating on others for using strategies that still work

[fervent pebble]

my highest joker is probably mail in

i love mail in

[delicate tide]

It’s not that deep let people like bloodstone

[lost vault]

my highest joker is idk lol

[lost vault]

no

🖕

[delicate tide]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[potent tree]

i wonder if someone has wee in their top 10

[lost vault]

i dont really hate on people for using bloodstoen i just very aggressively tell them it is not good

[delicate tide]

Highest on main prof is chad, highest on 2nd ++ is chad and highest on no uncommons ++ is chad

[faint linden]

Like my crazy setup that beat Purple Stake earlier: Eternal Hanging Chad, Eternal Holographic Supernova, Holographic Vagabond, Foil Canio, and Foil Card Sharp that let me win using almost exclusively flushes on Checkered

[delicate tide]

That’s like chill there’s just some people that are crazy elitist about the game and aren’t egen that good

[torpid bridge]

I hate checkered deck

[lost vault]

im like pretty mid at this game in practice but im pretty knowledgablen

kdkderoroorrroowpwpw

[delicate tide]

They just sit here talking like they know everything and get so down the pipeline of viability they can’t actually gold streak

[lost vault]

i like endless fun fact

[delicate tide]

Good for you

[lost vault]

whatvthebfick skinky

[delicate tide]

!

[lost vault]

nonits not

[delicate tide]

Vaga goat

[lost vault]

it takes so much time

rah

i’d let vagabond have his way with me iykwim

[faint linden]

Justice and Hanged Man came in clutch for 5x on Canio

[delicate tide]

He needs to like shave tho

Or like shower

[lost vault]

maybe

ive got a shower

[upper geode]

What would you guys do? I bought photograph thinking I could go into a Chad build... this entire run has been wonky but what would you guys do here?

[torpid bridge]

I sometimes make insane plays but sometimes I play stupidly

My performance fluctuates

[lost vault]

jus the way vag makes tarots is just so aauuuhghh

[delicate tide]

I got bored so I stopped playing lol

[lost vault]

same maybe

[delicate tide]

I prolly overplayed the game

And I’m too washed to continue the streak I have rn

[lost vault]

i have a terrible habit of spending money on shit when i should not be

[faint linden]

Especially when you have Canio, which needs to destroy cards

[lost vault]

canio vag would be a great run i bet

too bad its rare as heck yo

[faint linden]

It was

Throw in Card Sharp and Supernova

[upper geode]

any idea?

[torpid bridge]

Spending money helps me relax

[upper geode]

🥺

[torpid bridge]

I bought games that I never play

🙂

[lost vault]

qwq

[potent tree]

what is ramen at currently

[upper geode]

X1.43

[potent tree]

yeah i might sell that honestly. is that reserved parking natural negative

[upper geode]

from a tag

[torpid bridge]

I bought full ori game and play it for only 90mins

Then drop

[potent tree]

ah ok

[upper geode]

one day i'll have the bliss of playing stardew valley

[faint linden]

DDLC is what inspired me to learn Python

[upper geode]

that's when i'll trully be at peace

[lost vault]

that is a shame i have heard its good

[potent tree]

and what is your current hand type? flush?

[woeful cloak]

Istg this is a trap

[upper geode]

yeah, the usual

[delicate tide]

Peak game

[fervent pebble]

its stressful af

[torpid bridge]

Never played discounty also, the only time I play discounty is for testing whether I set up wine on my mac correctly or not

[potent tree]

yeah sell ramen. ectoing for -1 handsize in a flush build is a death sentence

[torpid bridge]

I just dont like platformers

[upper geode]

what is it about?

[delicate tide]

Depends on how you play lol

[potent tree]

well

[lost vault]

howww

[torpid bridge]

Its a shop manager sim

[fervent pebble]

maybe im just weird then

[lost vault]

platformers are so cool i love celeste

[potent tree]

it is white stake so maybe not

[upper geode]

oh for sure, i took ecto in a weird event of stacking more jokers. That's merely the reason I'm saving it 😂

[torpid bridge]

Frostpunk is too hard for me

[delicate tide]

I enjoy the optimization of it and like planning but some ppl just like go day by day and do what ever

[upper geode]

OOOOO sounds fun

[torpid bridge]

So I droped after 90mins

[faint linden]

That combo would give our resident lesbian hornet an aneurysm or some shit

[torpid bridge]

I have spent 10hrs in slay the spire and haven't won a single run

[potent tree]

i'm not talking about the oops bloodstone

[torpid bridge]

Will play it again in the future

But not now

[lost vault]

skiill isssue

[potent tree]

i was talking to the other person

[lost vault]

hehehe

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[faint linden]

I thought you were

[potent tree]

my bad

[torpid bridge]

Im too stupid

Maybe i need a coach

[lost vault]

i have a low amount of hours in sts but i have multiple wins by now

:3

[torpid bridge]

Actually

I never pays attention to the game

I often play it during working hours

🙂

[torpid bridge]

Stardew valley is sooo fun

I have been 100 hours in the game

😭

[fervent pebble]

oh ok

bye baron

[torpid bridge]

What did you play?

[lost vault]

my first win was on uhh the green lady

what was she called

assassin

idk

[torpid bridge]

I play the red one

[lost vault]

then i won on ironclad

[viscid mango]

ummm so i just got negative legendary ante 1 on a random seed on my phone

[torpid bridge]

The one gives heal

[lost vault]

and then i won on

seer ??

wather

cher

[lost vault]

shes broken as hell

mantra goes hard rage goes hard

[torpid bridge]

Im too stupid to play sts

The only time that i was close to winning was with block damage

On iron clad

[lost vault]

fair

i think my ironclad win was a block build

[lunar zealot]

i think

today is the day i 100% this game

[potent tree]

what do you have left to do

also i see you've changed pfp again

sadly i do not play cookie run

[lunar zealot]

challenges

[upper geode]

OH MY

i have no idea what to do here

still on flush, at the moment

[potent tree]

ditch bludstone

[upper geode]

i suppose if i do more deck fixing, i can consider bloodstone then?

[lost vault]

diddybludstone 💀

[potent tree]

well do you have lucky cards in other suits?

[upper geode]

because I have ops all sixes

[upper geode]

I've been... trying lmao

[potent tree]

you can keep oa6 for those

[upper geode]

alr alr, i'll do that then

[primal eagle]

bro i just died on white stake

[willow frost]

this is ante 11? wtf

[primal eagle]

are u proud

[lunar zealot]

bruh

[upper geode]

yeah i haven't been exactly lucky with my tarot cards

[willow frost]

ive had more interesting decks by ante 2 lmao

[willow frost]

rip lol

[upper geode]

o...k...?

[willow frost]

sorry i didnt mean to be rude just very confused

[primal eagle]

try forcing yourself to do 0 deckfixing

its somewhat fun

[willow frost]

naw i havent played balatro in a few months now

[upper geode]

it's definitely an experience, playing smart hands and counting the discards

trying to outsmart the shuffling algorithm by predicting the draws 😂

[primal eagle]

''smart hands'' you mean just pairs😭

[upper geode]

well, what if you're going for idk fullhouse?

[lunar zealot]

who goes for full house

single worst hand in the game

[primal eagle]

who goes for full house

[upper geode]

I HAVE BEFORE, I'VE TRIED ALL HANDS AND BEAT BALATRO WITH THOSE HANDS

[primal eagle]

tbh 5oak is worse

2nd worst hand

[upper geode]

5oak?

[lunar zealot]

absolutely not

[willow frost]

how did you fit all that in your pronouns box lol crazy that they allow that much

[lunar zealot]

full house is worse

[lunar zealot]

simply because you can be baited into using earth from the very start of the game

[potent tree]

40 chars

[lunar zealot]

at least with 5oak you can't use planet x until you play it

[willow frost]

me, its fun sometimes

[primal eagle]

[willow frost]

doesnt usually work though lol

[fervent pebble]

what deck did you guys use for winning without flushes

[lunar zealot]

anything really

even checkered can be won without flushes

[primal eagle]

u know i couldnt use ''why'' instead of ''y'' cuz otherwise that would be 1 letter above the limit

[upper geode]

deck or hand?

[fervent pebble]

deck

ive been doing abandoned with full houses and straights maybe my luck is just terrible

[willow frost]

what you do is you play a straight in round 1, then find like half joker or something and then play pairs/high card from there and win

[upper geode]

i can certainly say yellow deck makes it easier by starting with $10

[willow frost]

damn

[lunar zealot]

well first of all

abandoned is not the deck for straights

painted is

as for full house; full house is unfathomably terrible

[upper geode]

what Lmfao said, two pairs is pretty good

[lunar zealot]

you would have better luck just playing 3oak or 4oak

or just pairs

abandoned is a good deck for those reasons in particular

[willow frost]

two pair also works yeah

[fervent pebble]

alr

[upper geode]

i guess you could say...

there's no space for a full house...

[faint linden]

Everywhere you look

[upper geode]

straights are really fun to play too

[primal eagle]

see the thing is

[upper geode]

shortcut and 4 finger joker (forget the name)

[primal eagle]

balatro is a realistic game

[faint linden]

I'll see myself out after that one

[primal eagle]

full house does not suck

it was earth that sucks

[upper geode]

I think straight planet card has the highest increase per level, right?

[primal eagle]

uh

[upper geode]

earth feels bad

[primal eagle]

straight flush

[upper geode]

AHHH that's the one

[primal eagle]

but apart from sf and hidden hands yes

straight and 4oak tied

[upper geode]

4oak?

OH

oak = of a kind

[mellow cypress]

Yes

[lunar zealot]

ok

i win here anyway

but i wanna sell a joker just to be cool

[mellow cypress]

4oak better cos retriggers tho fs

[lunar zealot]

do i sell luchador

or do i sell the useless negative

[upper geode]

i mean...

[mellow cypress]

Also easier to fix for

[primal eagle]

put luchador to leftmost, sell brainstorm

[lunar zealot]

NOW YOU'RE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE BROTHER

[upper geode]

BIG BRAIN

[lunar zealot]

i've already done this once on gold stake

[acoustic kettle]

Have you sold blueprint for a double tag on gold stake

[lunar zealot]

yes

[acoustic kettle]

Amazing

[stable jolt]

is ante 8 negative tag on anaglyph deck a lame way of helping me across the finish line for c++

[lunar zealot]

it only helps to a point

[upper geode]

i stayed stuck here texting, do i really need to sell anything or do i just keep it going? ngl coping in keeping the bloodstone

[primal eagle]

yes because anaglyph gives double tag upon beating boss, i sold blueprint to beat boss
so i technically sold bp for a double tag

[acoustic kettle]

Nah

Cola sell

[oblique stag]

do i take the soul and sell the oops all 6

[upper geode]

WE'RE BASICALLY AT THE SAME THING, sell bloodstone >:) I'm selling mine too. How many lucky cards do you have

[acoustic kettle]

And die next round

[oblique stag]

my deck is absolutely atrocious i have like 10 kings out of 40 cards i dont think i cal sell bloodstone

[acoustic kettle]

You die if it hits 4 out of 5 legendary

So

[oblique stag]

yep

[fervent pebble]

started with almost a straight flush thats cool

[oblique stag]

is there a way to quit fast enough so i can see what it is and leave

[acoustic kettle]

Pretty sure you can save scum it

[upper geode]

um, i forgot the method to do so

[acoustic kettle]

Idk if it gives you back the joker though

[upper geode]

me neither

[mellow cypress]

^alt f4 or go to menu works for souls

[acoustic kettle]

Well yeah but does it go all the way back to before selling the joker

[mellow cypress]

yes

[oblique stag]

this is by far my highest run ever

[mellow cypress]

did you get trib?

[upper geode]

Do i want brainstorm on chad or photo? It's really been a while

[mellow cypress]

photo

[acoustic kettle]

If glass i think chad

But normal photo

[mellow cypress]

3/4 ratio

[upper geode]

beat it in one hand 💀

[mellow cypress]

in triggers

[mellow cypress]

if your high card good that king would win

oh wait

paradolia

[oblique stag]

the save scam worked and thank god

[mellow cypress]

full copy chad

[oblique stag]

i got the humble chicot

[upper geode]

high card not high 💀

[mellow cypress]

chicot is amazing hit

take

if you got glass bloodstone can go

survive off glass for bit till idol

👍

chicot can save you

bloodstone can come back round

if u can get ecto you go much farther

[upper geode]

made it as far as i could, but thanks for the help guys :) <3

[oblique stag]

that would be good if my deck didn't look like this

[mellow cypress]

yeah twin u cooked

wtf is that

get sum lucky cards

[upper geode]

are you going for high card steel or flush five?

[oblique stag]

flush five

[acoustic kettle]

Bloodstone

Flush five

[mellow cypress]

high card bloodstone 🥀

[shadow shore]

Always take the negative skip

[foggy yew]

Such perfect combo

[heavy abyss]

What should I do here?
Jokers:
Zeny: +12 mult if hand contains three of a kind
Half joker: +20 mult if hand contains 3 or fewer cards
Sly joker: +50 chips if hand contains a pair
abstract joker: +3 mult for each Joker card
Scary face: gives +30 chips for each face card scored

should I change any joker for this?

my lineup is scoring three of a kinds face cards

they gave 10k+ chips each hand

[acoustic kettle]

Sure change the pair chips one

Pretty sure it is 50 chips

[heavy abyss]

SAVE me PLEASE

[fervent pebble]

if you have every poker hand used the same amount and you have telescope does every celestial pack give blackhole

[acoustic kettle]

No

[fervent pebble]

lame

[foggy yew]

I'd definetly sell sly, and buy bull, pure stronger

Also arcana packs can give u more money, hermit/temperance can give u big econ boost

[latent egret]

gives the highest ranking han

so flush 5

or strush if no secret hands

[foggy yew]

And ur main focus should be to find some xmult and make it work

[opaque bone]

should I start working on balatro achievements or wait till 1.1 I love achievements

[heavy abyss]

alright

[foggy yew]

def start rn, getting C++ takes time

[raven pollen]

well this was a fun run

[heavy abyss]

what... what does this mean

[foggy yew]

U can make a copy of ur chosen card (not joker)

One of best tarots

[heavy abyss]

Sooo looking at my earlier lineup

I should clone the uh

face cards?

kings in particular

[acoustic kettle]

Queens' and jacks' joker is better

[foggy yew]

I'd not rly focus on scary face joker, bcs if u scale money with bull, it'll easly outscale scary. Byt if ur going for 3 of a kind, just copy whatever u have the most of rn

[mellow cypress]

🚬

[heavy abyss]

is this a trick

DAMN WHICH ONE DO I GET RID OF

[heavy abyss]

.

with sly now being

[heady narwhal]

no. magic trick is the one that gives you playing cards in the shop

[heavy abyss]

yo that does not matter

[mellow cypress]

yes it does

it allows playing cards to show in shop

thats not magic trick

🤨

[heavy abyss]

oh so its

a normal trick?

what

what is going on

[heady narwhal]

i'd probably drop zany and scary face for bull and space joker

[mellow cypress]

no thats the blank voucher

not magic trick

[heady narwhal]

and then play pairs

[mellow cypress]

you're thinking of the wrong voucher

[heavy abyss]

I dropped sly earlier for bull

I guess I can drop zany
+12 mult isn't that high

[heady narwhal]

have you already gone past space joker?

[heavy abyss]

no it's my third time playing I've never even gotten up to ante 3

now I'm at ante 6

[mellow cypress]

😄

[heady narwhal]

probably zany here

by the way i'd advise against skipping blinds unless necessary

[heady narwhal]

round 8 when

[mellow cypress]

😱

doin it on gold stake rq

[heavy abyss]

gg

[mellow cypress]

best hit

[foggy yew]

That's the worst legendary joker

[mellow cypress]

ur high on crack

trib is the worst

[foggy yew]

Nah, Chicot

[mellow cypress]

saying it more doesn't make it correct

[foggy yew]

I guess each one of us has different opinion

[mellow cypress]

issue is it's not an opinion

[foggy yew]

Some ppl say red card is dope, i'm not a fan of it

[calm furnace]

average chad venus run

[mellow cypress]

red card is incredibly strong +mult scaling joker

[heavy abyss]

so to recap
does this do anything or no

[mellow cypress]

just cos you dont really know how to use it, doesnt make it good

[mellow cypress]

if you buy it, the upgrade is antimatter, +1joker slot

[calm furnace]

there are opinions and there are facts

pancakes better than waffles is opinion
the earth is round is not

[lunar zealot]

how many times have you bought it over the course of your time in balatro

10 total times?

[heavy abyss]

woah... what is antimatter

[calm furnace]

chicot best legendary falls under facts

[heavy abyss]

never

[lunar zealot]

it does nothing

[mellow cypress]

I just said mate

[foggy yew]

Earth is not round

[lunar zealot]

if you buy it 10 total times over the course of your save file

then you unlock antimatter

[foggy yew]

It's more ovaly shape

[lunar zealot]

the tier 2 upgrade for blank

[heavy abyss]

okay so

I'll just buy it

[lunar zealot]

you kind of have to

[calm furnace]

earth is flat duh

[lunar zealot]

in order to get antimatter

[calm furnace]

earth is a planet card

and cards are flat

checkmate athiests

balatroodle in 3

[lost vault]

nope

the game dont lie

[heavy abyss]

do... effects stack? like lucky

on ts

[heavy abyss]

does it stack or nah please help

or else I might be done for

[calm furnace]

enchanments and editons are two different things

and seals

so yeah they stack

[heavy abyss]

I do NOT know what you are talking to me about

[calm furnace]

im answering your question 😭

[mellow cypress]

poly foil holo = editions
gold lucky etc = enhancements

[heavy abyss]

thanks explosive

[mellow cypress]

you're welcome mate

[heavy abyss]

oh nah I'm done for

[vocal rose]

get rid of scary and use judgment

[tacit quail]

mf has foil bull

and keeps scary

[heavy abyss]

DANG ITTTTT

[heavy abyss]

yeah it's a good boost

+90 chips

each three of a kind

[mellow cypress]

yeah but you could have something else of value

like xmult

u alr got chips with bull

[heavy abyss]

also, what's up with this

it only increases my hand when I start the run

does not do that after

[tacit quail]

yes

?

lol

[mellow cypress]

!?!?!?

[tacit quail]

imagine if you just kept getting more hands 😭

[heavy abyss]

"+1 hand every round"

???

[mellow cypress]

I love double skipping

[heavy abyss]

it'd be very fair bro

[mellow cypress]

yes, you have +1 more than the default every round

[tacit quail]

yeah you get it for every round as opposed to just one

[mellow cypress]

it does not say it increases

[vocal rose]

every round you have an extra hand

[heavy abyss]

oh yeah

sorry my reading comprehension is incredibly good for I am a JJK fan

Red, Blue, or Yellow deck?

🤔

[lost vault]

this retexture instills an unspeakable amount of hatred in my soul

[mellow cypress]

Good for you mate

[lost vault]

:3

[whole storm]

finally got invis joker 😎

[candid nimbus]

I'm sorry if my wording sounds strange—I don't understand English well and am using a translation site.
I just cleared Gold Stake with all 150 Jokers, but the Steam achievement hasn't unlocked.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

[onyx acorn]

finaly

2 days

to make this fucking win

[queen kindle]

ur goin into orbit ya stupid blind

[queen kindle]

urah

[old urchin]

the greatest canio run I've ever done

30x

[pale wolf]

yeah this totally makes sense

It's definitely not inconsistent and confusing

whoops wrong reply

[tacit quail]

lol

[rare sequoia]

(BALATRODLE SPOILERS) my proudest day yet

only in 2

[pale wolf]

I really don't think the use of each round or every round are necessary even though the values do reset back to a value every round

The only thing I've ever seen to do is confuse people

nobody would be confused if Red Deck just said +1 discard

and why does drunkard use different wording than Red Deck

It's the exact same effect

[rare sequoia]

it does feel like localthunk was just going for it then realized midway it wont matter

[pale wolf]

well no there is a logic to which ones get the clarifier but

It's just not really helpful because it just ends up confusing

[pearl moss]

3 new gold sticker

[pale wolf]

Like your hand size never changes, it doesn't get diminished throughout the blind and then replenished at the end

but it does happen with hands and discards

[pearl moss]

allright i got all the color joker

my glass joker help a lot

6.25

[pale wolf]

glass joker is good stuff

[pearl moss]

yeah i go with 5 of kind as well with the extra glass card

thank goodness cerulean bell did not kill this run

cause it grab the right glass cards

[eternal pumice]

[pearl moss]

move from 80 to 81%

[fervent pebble]

oh thats awesome

[pearl moss]

i guess its a progress since its 1% increase

but damn

[raw whale]

yall this might be a face build

YALL

[static pendant]

Eeerm

[raw whale]

sell perkeo take mr bones

[mellow cypress]

ty needle

[static pendant]

Oh yeah I know I'll copy the seed and try later, I want to see what can I do with all five legend

I'll pass the seed when I lose

[raw whale]

[mellow cypress]

[mellow cypress]

[fervent pebble]

the free rare tag is so broken

[mellow cypress]

ikr

[fervent pebble]

dude

[raw whale]

wait until you find out about driver's license

[mellow cypress]

baron is bait

take fist

[raw whale]

loss on ante 2 guaranteed

[fervent pebble]

baron on abandoned 🤑

[mellow cypress]

speculative baron is suicide

[fervent pebble]

ante 2 constellation nice

[raw whale]

WHAT

round 7

[quartz ember]

pays for the buffoon pack

[fervent pebble]

ok

[quartz ember]

free tags are so broken

[fervent pebble]

negative smiley on abandoned

run carry

[raw whale]

do i actually ecto here

[quartz ember]

if you can draw your hand 100% consistently with the -1 size

[raw whale]

i have a paint voucher

insane round 4 good ecto

[knotty iris]

for sure bro

[raw whale]

actually might not be as good because it can still hit bloodstone which is kinda meh

[knotty iris]

Yeahh but i believe it wont

[raw whale]

i might be stupid but how are we looking at selling bloodstone

[mellow cypress]

show deck

[knotty iris]

Thats what i was gonna say tbh

[mellow cypress]

if deck not good need to keep

[raw whale]

barely passed

[eternal flame]

did you ecto

[raw whale]

yes

[eternal flame]

noice

[raw whale]

oh my

[static pendant]

I won I don't think it was the best way to do it but imma try get a full king deck

[old urchin]

did a funny run

[heavy abyss]

good run. (It was on 96 xmult)

[raw whale]

aand i got photocad

[graceful oasis]

finding myself just forcing my way throuh verdant at least half of the time lol

[heavy abyss]

holy brutal

[graceful oasis]

all the cool kids are doing it

i could have sold a pants and done it either way

but only bc card sharp which usually betrays me

everytime i have card sharp i get needle or eye guaranteed

nineteen more :3

[foggy yew]

I just got 3 left and cant find them every single run...

[pine dragon]

It thinks it's doing something how cute

[lunar zealot]

that's sort of how verdant leaf goes lmao

it punishes on-scored and very specifically see2

other than that if you have chips you're good

[graceful oasis]

being infantilized by someone who has Roblox set as their favorite game is a new low for me

[pine dragon]

I'm talking about the blind

It thinks it's doing something

[graceful oasis]

oh

MY BAD PIMP

lmao

[pine dragon]

What do you think I play Steel A Brainrot or some shit nah

I'm not 5

[latent egret]

card enhancements kinda suck after blue stake

[graceful oasis]

im used to balatro general chat being the most elitist um ackshually crowd ever

shoutout zebra

[lunar zealot]

server chat is so strange sometimes

[pine dragon]

I got told the jokers I think are the best based on my criteria of "highest potential" can't possibly be good cause they wanted to keep pushing their "correct opinions"

So yeah

For sure

[graceful oasis]

lucky cat till i DIE

till i DIE !

11!1

[lunar zealot]

Lucky cat is fun

though it's been a fucking while since i've ever used it

good lord

[graceful oasis]

i have to work every run to make photochad out of my top ten

[pine dragon]

I called baron the best cause it has the highest potential in the game whilst fully admitting it's not likely to work

[lunar zealot]

play more pairs

ride more buses

[lunar zealot]

I mean that's objectively correct

baron/mime alone are the only jokers capable of reaching a ceiling of naneinf

the only limiting reagent being hand size

even trib/sock has a ceiling because you can only ever play 5 cards

[pine dragon]

Based on my criteria of highest potential it is

I did fully admit the downsides

[lunar zealot]

and getting more tribs or socks is harder than getting more hand size

[quartz ember]

so it does not have a ceiling

its just harder

[lunar zealot]

worth noting that observatory doesn't count because it's a separate instance

[lunar zealot]

Only in a vacuum
