[gloomy swallow]

Imma bump mime up a tier

since it lit carried this run

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[acoustic kettle]

Bus still down there huh

[gloomy swallow]

Yup

hasn't done anything for me whatsoever so far

I think it'll stay there

[acoustic kettle]

Surely after 148 stickers you'd use it at least twice

[gloomy swallow]

way too punishing for my liking

grimbo slams

way more open and easier to play around

[acoustic kettle]

You're never forced to reset bus

[gloomy swallow]

do you wanna enjoy face cards

I do

[acoustic kettle]

You can be forced to discard for grimbo

[gloomy swallow]

quite a lot

[gloomy swallow]

you can be forced to lose technical hand size with ride the bus

if you run out of discards and have many face cards in your deck

your only saving grace are their aces or pairs

[acoustic kettle]

You can still play the face card non scored

[gloomy swallow]

if you can't get rid of them

[gloomy swallow]

thru the methods I said

if you don't have either

it's losing hand size by technicality

Grimbo will nourish you even if you starve him at times

because you have more hands than discards anyways

[acoustic kettle]

In all my runs using bus i've never faced a situation where i am forced to reset it

[gloomy swallow]

I've run a couple times into that situation

never again

[wintry ice]

i mean if you have a scaling +mult joker most face card strategies are out of the question to begin with

[wintry ice]

try playing before discarding

[nova elk]

is it better to go for one poker hand lvl'd up in a run or a few ?

[pale wolf]

generally one

[serene forge]

crashing the bus is a skill issue

[wintry ice]

i usually go for leveling my main hand and 4oak for safety

[gloomy swallow]

What about reserved parking

[acoustic kettle]

Mostly the main hand though

[pale wolf]

and then a safety/future potential hand for when packs dont hit, if you want

[serene forge]

the only major loss of using bus is that you can't use midas mask

[pale wolf]

but thats loss of fool value

[acoustic kettle]

It is in hand

Not played

[wintry ice]

well then you don't need to play the face cards

[serene forge]

face card synergies really aren't that powerful

[gloomy swallow]

yeah but if you don't want face cards naturally one would discard them

because you run risks

[pale wolf]

i've made reserved parking rtb work before

[serene forge]

it can work but you'd be playing with fire

[pale wolf]

you need to build aces in that case

[gloomy swallow]

What's next

[wintry ice]

you could apply the advice of playing hands before discarding

[gloomy swallow]

hit the road

[pale wolf]

so you can throw high cards

[acoustic kettle]

Most of the time rtb is just a grimbo without downsides

[gloomy swallow]

WITHOUT???

[wintry ice]

once again, you don't need to play the face cards foe this

[tacit stream]

high card A-K-Q-J is 3 faces dumped in 1 hand

[gloomy swallow]

as if grimbo actually had downsides 😭

dawg

[serene forge]

I mean it does

[acoustic kettle]

It is a small downside but it is a downside

[pale wolf]

grimbo def has downsides...

[wintry ice]

restricting how you use discards is a downside

[tacit stream]

purple seal

[acoustic kettle]

Bus doesn't have one

[serene forge]

but a small downside for scaling mult is great

[gloomy swallow]

the downsides become a non-issue the more you progress with it

[wintry ice]

well same goes for bus

[serene forge]

gronkler makes rebate and purple seals worse

[gloomy swallow]

ride the bus requires your constant attention and prohibits you of certain playstyles

[serene forge]

so not like the downside isn't there

[gloomy swallow]

which is not my move

I like to be able to move freely between strategies when I need it

[acoustic kettle]

Most runs are pair runs anyway

[wintry ice]

"constant attention" as if playing a face card with it isn't a choice

[serene forge]

me when I have to engage with the game 😡

[acoustic kettle]

Any pair and then J Q K is 3 face gone safely

[terse vale]

constant attention isn’t really too bad

[pale wolf]

imagine there were joker specific boss blinds like

The Meat

All cards are counted as face cards

[wintry ice]

and as i said

[terse vale]

just pay attention

[pale wolf]

only for rtb

[serene forge]

do you hate obelisk

[stiff thistle]

Abandoned Deck:

[acoustic kettle]

Or ace with j q k

[wintry ice]

most on-scoring face card jokers aren't worth it with a scaling +mult joker anyways

[terse vale]

and I don’t mind it prohibiting me from certain playstyles if the playstyles it does make me play are good

[gloomy swallow]

that is a reason to take ride the buss

I'd take it all the time if I actually played there

but I do Zodiac / Ghost

[acoustic kettle]

In any deck rtb is a direct grimbo upgrade

[stiff thistle]

Zodiac??
Dear God 😭

[pale wolf]

"constant attention" you mean pay attention to the cards i play

huge downside

[terse vale]

zodiac is pretty good

[stiff thistle]

exactly
grimbo is still peak if you can pick him up early or even both at once, 2+ mult per hand

[serene forge]

the catastrophic effects of short form social media

[gloomy swallow]

zodiac is good fym

that would be a reasonable reaction if I was playing telescope deck

[terse vale]

nah you don’t really need both

[acoustic kettle]

148 stickers and yet never uses bus

[stiff thistle]

[gloomy swallow]

nebula*

[terse vale]

also they don’t reeally work tooo well together

[stiff thistle]

Atleast on Abandoned ok-

[acoustic kettle]

Nah one is enough

[serene forge]

this person definitely has photograph and hanging chad in their top 2 most used jonklers

[gloomy swallow]

Grimbo is objectively better because it just requires a thing early game and then you're good to go

if you mess up with rtb it's game over

[ancient gyro]

what

[acoustic kettle]

Nice ragebait

[terse vale]

so don’t mess up

[serene forge]

"requires a thing"

that's so descriptive

and convincing

[gloomy swallow]

requires you to discard less

[wintry ice]

requires what?

[gloomy swallow]

NOT EVEN JUST NOT USING DISCARDS

BUT LESS DISCARDS

[stiff thistle]

The Hook + The Needle:

[terse vale]

I know

[acoustic kettle]

And bus doesn't have this problem

So?

[wintry ice]

so, it has more of a downside than bus

[terse vale]

green joker is great but rtb is honestly just free +mult

[wintry ice]

because bus literally just needs you to not play a face card

[stiff thistle]

Grimbo just is only good if you can scale him early-game

[serene forge]

skill issue

[gloomy swallow]

bus has a way more punishing problem that doesn't allow as much creativity late-game

[acoustic kettle]

[terse vale]

well I wanna win

[pale wolf]

"can't play 3 ranks" is better than "avoid discarding unless value generation is immediate"

[terse vale]

I don’t care about creativity really

[pale wolf]

its not a huge difference honestly

[terse vale]

when it comes to winning or streaking

[stiff thistle]

Every joker has its use cases my gng
Ride The Bus is pretty good if you can avoid using face cards, which honestly, is pretty easy if you can cut them out of your deck

[gloomy swallow]

0 jokers synergize with numbers as a general term

[wintry ice]

"limits creativity" as if you'd find a reason to play face cards that late with a scaling mult build

[acoustic kettle]

I mean grimbo is still top 5 +mult scaler

[serene forge]

can't play 3 ranks vs worse rebate worse blue seal worse purple seal etc

[gloomy swallow]

closest thing you have is the even Steven odd Todd duo

[stiff thistle]

Just not top 1
still peak tho

[pale wolf]

out of how many 😭

[terse vale]

nothing has to! you just need chips and Xmult

[acoustic kettle]

As if the face synergy is good

[serene forge]

who cares

[gloomy swallow]

Like 11 ish i think?

[acoustic kettle]

Like 5 idk

[terse vale]

like there’s no way you’re using face cards synergy jokers with green joker unless you’re desperate
the only reason I could see is scary face or business card

[serene forge]

it's literally just midas mask

both of those are mid as fuck

[terse vale]

oh yaaaa

[pale wolf]

tbh i'd argue purple seals aren't that much worse with groker

[terse vale]

ya thats my argument but I forgot about midas mask

[stiff thistle]

You’d only keep Green Joker (non-negative) if he has 50+ mult, but if you can get as much from cards + held-in-hand effects, he is not good

[wintry ice]

photochad, midas and trib are the only jokers that need you to play face cards and that don't fall off by ante 5

[pale wolf]

you end up playing all your hands which is what you do anyways when drawing for purple seals

[acoustic kettle]

?

[pale wolf]

same result

[ancient gyro]

and technically business card

[gloomy swallow]

Bootstraps, Spare Trousers, RTB, Grimbo, Fortune Teller, Red Card, and Dagger

[terse vale]

?

[gloomy swallow]

thats 7 ONLY???

[wintry ice]

missing out on face card synergies isn't as much of an issue as you'd convince yourself it is

[ancient gyro]

you missed a few

[gloomy swallow]

thought there were more +Mult scaling

[terse vale]

ohh

[pale wolf]

lol

[stiff thistle]

Red Card unironically is a decent scaler

[wintry ice]

swash (specifically with egg)

[pale wolf]

the best one that isnt spare trousers

[gloomy swallow]

It is very decent

[pale wolf]

lol

[acoustic kettle]

Well it is

[gloomy swallow]

OH and flashcard

And swash

[pale wolf]

flashcard and swash suck

[wintry ice]

red card is considered by many to be the best scaling +mult joker in the game

it's more than decent

[acoustic kettle]

Is swash really scaling if the only thing that can scale it is egg and gift card

[gloomy swallow]

eh its ok but i wouldnt consider it top 1 tho

[pale wolf]

flash card has a niche in a portion of the game you almost never need new scaling +mult

[wintry ice]

there's no real opportunity cost to using it

[gloomy swallow]

atleast we can all agree bootstraps is way more needy right

or flashcard

[pale wolf]

so it works in that situation but sucks as a scaling +mult

[wintry ice]

you just skip things you wouldn't want to take anyways

[stiff thistle]

Its only considered the best because you can stil get value out of trash booster packs
I.E. Trash Spectral? Skip for 3+ Mult

[gloomy swallow]

i mean flashcard is just more RNG dependant

[serene forge]

popcorn is my favorite scaling mult joker

[gloomy swallow]

Cause if you have the vounchers

its hella goo

[ancient gyro]

econ heavy*

[wintry ice]

you always take booster packs provided you stay above 25$ after you do so

[acoustic kettle]

It is good mult per dollar

[stiff thistle]

Bootstraps is ONLY good with Bull in most cases
not saying its bad by itself entirely

Scaling mult and chips is nice

[pale wolf]

no, its literally just a good ratio of spending

[serene forge]

I hate Bootstraps

[wintry ice]

hence why it has no real opportunity cost

you'd try that spectral pack regardless

[acoustic kettle]

4 dollars for 3 mult is great

[pale wolf]

like it's even BETTER for that

[gloomy swallow]

Nah bull good with mime dawg

[serene forge]

red card makes you realize how often you open packs and get shit you don't care about

like you can skip everything in arcanas that isn't a hermit basically

[terse vale]

“its only considered the best because there’s an aspect of it thats good” well ya and other stuff

[acoustic kettle]

Mult per dollar of red card is just slightly worse than bus and grimbo

[stiff thistle]

But atleast it cant just spike down

[pale wolf]

only is the odd word out in that sentence

[acoustic kettle]

Biut everytime you open a pack you get a chance to get things like hermit or immolate or deck fixing

[pale wolf]

its considered the best because you can still get value out of trash booster packs.

[wintry ice]

the effective mult per dollar is 3 to 0

because booster packs are already sought after

[stiff thistle]

Yahimod did this joker (in terms of origin) first and its better than this 😭

[pale wolf]

booster packs are both important to buy most of, and mostly trash

its paradoxical

[stiff thistle]

Its just
“If I land a 6, both packs suck for you”

[acoustic kettle]

The one booster pack you don't open has a hermit / immolate / blueprint

[junior cave]

Pretty much

[wintry ice]

hermit, immolate, refund with a 1$ cash bonus

[pale wolf]

uh

[plain root]

Bootstraps is hit or miss for me, depending when I get it and if im committed to hoarding my money

[lunar zealot]

i think that's really poorly designed on the mod creator's part

[wintry ice]

all of the best hits are about money generation!

[lunar zealot]

this custom joker shouldn't be allowed to be eternal

[pale wolf]

oh boy

developer oversight

[acoustic kettle]

Money is power after all

[pale wolf]

#⚙・modding-general

[wintry ice]

the fact that you need to hoard money also indirectly nerfs your scoring

as it's harder to get xmult if you want to keep your money

[plain root]

Exactly. Things have to go just right for it to work out in the end

[acoustic kettle]

Boot is fine as a concept but the mult per dollar is atrocious

[pale wolf]

would bootstraps be better than grimbo if it was twice the scaling

4 mult per $5

[lunar zealot]

Oopsies

[junior cave]

Likely no

Gumbo scaling is better still

[lunar zealot]

Oh jesus christ

[junior cave]

Money is not something you want to hoard if you can

[lunar zealot]

good fucking lord

never cook again

[plain root]

Once i find rebate, it usually makes it easier to stop hoarding lol

[lunar zealot]

i don't know where to begin with that but that basically wins you the game outright if you feed it

[pale wolf]

you have 20 dollars and get 16 mult

40 and 32

[acoustic kettle]

20 mult for free basically

[lunar zealot]

i mean bull is 2 chips per dollar

[wintry ice]

you could keep it at 50$ and just win

[serene forge]

I hate Bootstraps

[lunar zealot]

straps is also an uncommon btw

[wintry ice]

3 to 5 sounds reasonable

[lunar zealot]

just sayin

[pale wolf]

3 mult per $5?

[acoustic kettle]

3 dollar for 5 mult

[lunar zealot]

Fork.

[acoustic kettle]

[plain root]

I dont like drivers license, takes too long to setup.

[wintry ice]

just get a hex 🙄

[lunar zealot]

first of all you don't even need it

[serene forge]

do you need something

[pale wolf]

fork.

[serene forge]

hey

[queen dock]

Isn't it two mult for every five

[lunar zealot]

Your mom hexed

[pale wolf]

hi

[junior cave]

Yes

[wintry ice]

why are you turning her gay

[plain root]

ALWAYS TRUST

[serene forge]

they're turning the *moms gay

[pale wolf]

if you play 16 enhanced cards with vampire you only have 2.6 XMult therefore drivers license is better

[barren wigeon]

amazing logic

[plain root]

X6

[queen dock]

I think changing it to plus four for every $5 would be okay. But bootstraps is pretty powerful

[barren wigeon]

big ass banana wtf

[barren wigeon]

Bootstraps is ass

[acoustic kettle]

Banana that big gotta be ^3

[queen dock]

I don't think it's that bad

[acoustic kettle]

😭

[plain root]

Hey bootstraps won me a run last night. It's off the chopping block for just today

[barren wigeon]

It might be the worst scaling mult in the game if you even consider it scaling

[queen dock]

I think it's decent

[wintry ice]

it scales slowly and also restricts your use of money

[plain root]

Especially polychrome

[wintry ice]

it's just factually less than decent

it's the worst scaling +mult joker in the game

[serene forge]

I hate Fortune Teller

[pale wolf]

i want erosion to be good

[wintry ice]

50$ for the same +mult as half joker

[ancient gyro]

+5 for your troubles

[pale wolf]

what joker would i be

[ancient gyro]

madness

in terraria

[pale wolf]

madnessdotgif

[ancient gyro]

destroying everything

[pale wolf]

it was fun

[lunar zealot]

Erosion is good

it's just really niche

[pale wolf]

eeh

[ancient gyro]

was that on purpose

[lunar zealot]

numbers alone cannot stop it from being unniche

[pale wolf]

its like flash card to me

[wintry ice]

erosion is just decent

[lunar zealot]

Yes and flash card is good in its niche

It's better than straps

[wintry ice]

it just has a very similar scaling requirement to canio

[pale wolf]

i wasnt saying its worse

[lunar zealot]

and its one redeeming quality over red card is

uncommonness ✨

[wintry ice]

baseball, huh?

[pale wolf]

eeh

its okay

like erosion

[lunar zealot]

It's fine

[pale wolf]

but i want it to be good

[lunar zealot]

We are going in circles

[pale wolf]

i want to be excited to see it before i've scaled it

not after

[ancient gyro]

hologram presence

[pale wolf]

erosion but its not retroactive

just reverse +mult hologram

nah

[dull fox]

my luckiest non seed ever... showman wtfff

[acoustic kettle]

What if there is a xmult erosion

[pale wolf]

glass joker, canio

basically

[acoustic kettle]

True

[pale wolf]

hi thunk

[acoustic kettle]

Abandoned deck looks eroded

Erosion should work there

[wintry ice]

guys don't look at the timer

[acoustic kettle]

In theme

[nova elk]

first time i've seen blueprint in the shop since i've unlocked it, jeez

[acoustic kettle]

It is rare

[pale wolf]

how rare

[acoustic kettle]

Rare

[junior cave]

Is there a reference for the chances of Jokers to appear based on rarity?

[nova elk]

do I sell summit and put blueprint next to parking?

[pale wolf]

no crop

[nova elk]

wut

[pale wolf]

https://balatrowiki.org/Jokers

[acoustic kettle]

Um why would you sell summit

[pale wolf]

basically a quarter are uncommon, 5% are rare, and the rest are common

[nova elk]

idk

[wintry ice]

what do you want to sell it for

[pale wolf]

cropped context out of image while asking for advice

just prolongs the process

[nova elk]

gotchu

[junior cave]

Thank you

[nova elk]

so only full screen while asking for advices if I got u right

[pale wolf]

ideally

even if the context doesnt matter people are gonna ask about it

cuz sometimes it could

[nova elk]

alrighty, thanks for the information

[wintry lynx]

which should I replace with hologram?

or do I keep muh jokers

[wintry ice]

i'd sell summit and wily

what level is your hand at

[lunar gate]

waiter waiter more negative jokers

[ivory bridge]

I might be john balatro

[lunar gate]

kill wily

[wintry lynx]

they have pretty good foils doe

[wintry ice]

what's your scoring at right now

[lunar gate]

egg.

[wintry ice]

yea that's why i asked about the planet levels

[wintry lynx]

Goodbye Wily.

[ivory bridge]

Rate my deck with the no face deck

[gloomy vigil]

I think am cooked

boss is needle

its early game

[wintry lynx]

I do not know I just started a 3 days ago

[gloomy vigil]

should I change anything ?

[wintry lynx]

I dont know why Im so heavily into this game its like an evil curse

[acoustic kettle]

For what

[wintry lynx]

this? 🥹

[gloomy vigil]

next bind is needle

[lunar gate]

kinda sucks
but i'd sell faceless

[gloomy vigil]

maybe the joker that retriggers the last played hands could work

[wintry ice]

not unless you have a lucky card or something

just open the standard pack

[wintry lynx]

isnt that the boss that only lets you play one hand

[acoustic kettle]

Ye

[wintry lynx]

pedoboss

[wintry ice]

what was the total at last round

[nova elk]

better to blueprint a photograph joker or summit?

[wintry lynx]

i do not remember sorry..

[acoustic kettle]

Depends on your levels

[nova elk]

two pair is lvl 11

[acoustic kettle]

Photo

[wintry ice]

photo if the base mult is 4 or more

[wintry ice]

i'd just sell summit for hologram then

[gloomy vigil]

ok I got it

[nova elk]

cheers

[wintry lynx]

ok thank you should i put them in a certain order

I know you should usually put your ×mults at the end

[quartz ember]

xmult should go last

[lunar gate]

it's cool
i like egg.

[quartz ember]

yes

[wintry lynx]

hologram or sock and bustin last

[acoustic kettle]

Doesn't matter

[wintry lynx]

im slow

thats not even an xmult why did i think that

[quartz ember]

I guess easiest is to just think about put the one with most xmult last and go from there

[acoustic kettle]

Well unless the sock is holo

[wintry ice]

well both of them are xmult thanks to baseball

[quartz ember]

actually you are quick, you have baseball card, right?

[wintry lynx]

its not 💔

[wintry ice]

actually you could sell sock for vampire assuming your faces aren't lucky or anything like that

[wintry lynx]

i went into the next bind its too late

[wintry ice]

oh

[wintry lynx]

its probably for the best my deck seems pretty good

[wintry ice]

just focus on trying to get a blue seal for your scaling

[wintry lynx]

god bless

[wintry lynx]

and how would you recommend doing that

from card packs?

[gloomy vigil]

what should simley replace

[acoustic kettle]

is coming

[quartz ember]

you could replace mad joker

[gloomy vigil]

happened last time

I have learned nothing

I must remake my mistake

[wintry ice]

that's the usual way

[nova elk]

can a buffon pack contain any rarity?

[acoustic kettle]

Except legendary

Yes

[nova elk]

good to know blueprint is an option in there

[wintry ice]

provided you're able to find the joker in the shop

like you still need to have lucky cards for cat to spawn

[gloomy vigil]

I believ I should change the mad joker for the baseball card

am not sure tho

or maybe raised fist

[molten thicket]

either selling fist or mad joker works

[quartz ember]

yes

[gloomy vigil]

sold mad

glad I kept the raised fist

[wintry ice]

i'd say mad joker

[quartz ember]

even if its not much better at least it has some pootential

[wintry ice]

fist has silly stuff with steel

[gloomy vigil]

boss made me discard cards at the end of round which left me with just a repeat ace

so free 44 mult

this seems broken

[nova elk]

hanged man is dangerous if I get a boss which disables a suit

[quartz ember]

why

if you have many good cards you can usually play them together in like a flush or something anyways

[gloomy vigil]

this also looks strong

[quartz ember]

if you dont have many ood cards, its like +15 chips

[gloomy vigil]

I dont think I should chnage my build rn tho

[quartz ember]

now that one is strong

[gloomy vigil]

should I take it ?

[quartz ember]

well, you don't have much room

[gloomy vigil]

I feel like raised fist has done eough

[quartz ember]

it again has some potential

[wintry ice]

chad is great if you get glass or lucky cards

[gloomy vigil]

I can just skip

[quartz ember]

but you'd have to lose some scoring

[acoustic kettle]

Photochad

[wintry ice]

what's the third option

or first, rather

[gloomy vigil]

+1 discard each round

[wintry ice]

that would have been good if you had room

[molten thicket]

i think you sell raised fist here

[dim elk]

holy early combo, skipped first round for investement tag and found these one after another

[gloomy vigil]

negatives dont show up

k selling raised fist

lets see how it goes

[lunar zealot]

Pretty good for econ

[gloomy vigil]

wait

[lunar zealot]

for scoring you need something and now

[foggy atlas]

Gang can anyone explain the tech for ante 39 legandary less? Mainly how do you get past ante 32 since you can just reroll into the serpent to till ante 31?

[gloomy vigil]

why did I get a free planet card for finishing a round

[lunar zealot]

blue seal

[dim elk]

got to greedy

[pale wolf]

You get through it with cryptid boosting your hand size

:p

[foggy atlas]

Would like 3 cryptids be enough though?

[pale wolf]

jkjk

no

[acoustic kettle]

Naneinf before a32

[quartz ember]

how does that help with a39

[acoustic kettle]

To get a39 is hard perkeoless

[foggy atlas]

No naneinf is fine but if I want to attempt getting to ante a39

[acoustic kettle]

[quartz ember]

anyways, you gotta get extremely lucky

[lunar zealot]

beating ante 32 without perkeo is a tall order

[acoustic kettle]

A shit ton of baron mime copies

[foggy atlas]

I dont wanna keep resetting till I get one 😭

[lunar zealot]

Just get naneinf before it cuh

try for a39 with a different build

that shit is soul sucking

[quartz ember]

or use crimson bean

[lunar zealot]

and not in a good way

[foggy atlas]

Like?

[lunar zealot]

Or double chicot :smirk

[acoustic kettle]

Bean and 3 cryptids should boost your score a lot

Or yeah chicot bug

[quartz ember]

there is no way to get to a39 without resetting

[foggy atlas]

If I want to use chicot then I might as well just go for perkeo then 🙏

[quartz ember]

the duration and frequency are variable tho

[foggy atlas]

No i get that I’m gonna fail. But is there a tech without legs is what I wanna know

[acoustic kettle]

Well bean + 3 cryptids is the closest thing to tech

[gloomy vigil]

why wont ngeatives show up

[acoustic kettle]

The rest is just insanely lucky pulls

[acoustic kettle]

It is really rare

[foggy atlas]

Dr spectred pulled it off but I diddnt get how he did it

[wintry ice]

he had to get 2 useful natural negatives for it

[barren wigeon]

because hes doc

thats how he did it

[foggy atlas]

Ohhhh

Which ones

[wintry ice]

and by useful nat negatives i mean a negative brainstorm and a negative mime

[foggy atlas]

Oh nah

[forest dawn]

HEY
for the people who don't remember me (basically everyone)
i was making a physical balatro like game

with dices!

AND I FINISHED IT

like 2 weeks ago
but there's a problem

[pale wolf]

https://youtu.be/dJGY-Mk6g7M?si=FfjKMi6mgsXnmiEJ 1:47:00

[forest dawn]

basically, the max points i got while playing this was around 3000

[acoustic kettle]

A shit ton of jokers

[forest dawn]

and i need MORE

[acoustic kettle]

Well the tech is just having a ton of money

[foggy atlas]

Yeah I got it he got 2 natural negs

[acoustic kettle]

Sell a lot of colas

Then take a negative tag

[forest dawn]

so, uhhh
can you recommend anything that helps me get more points?

[gloomy vigil]

can this replace scary face ?

I run two pair anyway so I have to use alot of discards

[fervent wolf]

I have awoken

[barren wigeon]

do you have enough chips

[trail acorn]

one more gold stake for completionist plus 😭

[forest dawn]

oh well

[quartz ember]

thats mult, scary face is chips

[foggy atlas]

Yeah but it still is very unlikely I guess. I’d have better odds just resetting till I get perkeo at that point

[gloomy vigil]

so keep scary face ?

[dim elk]

HOLY SHIT WHAT IS THIS RUN

LOOK AT THEJOKERS 😭

[barren wigeon]

how much chips do you have

[pale wolf]

ew bloodstone aj

not synergy

[acoustic kettle]

Bloodstone aj photo

[gloomy vigil]

not alot

[fervent wolf]

Ew bloodstone aj and photo

[barren wigeon]

1/4 times it is

[barren wigeon]

then no

keep scary face

[quartz ember]

probably not really, but it would take way less time to reset

[fervent wolf]

That's not reliable

[acoustic kettle]

1/4 then gamble for another 1/2

[dim elk]

also got ancient, just need vagabond or sum for deck fixing

[acoustic kettle]

[fervent wolf]

Aj is ancient

[barren wigeon]

twas a jest

[fervent wolf]

Don't jest with the Joker who claims to be the best

[barren wigeon]

ok eminem

[dim elk]

im not good with abbreviations

[gloomy vigil]

this could go nuts

[acoustic kettle]

Well

You win

[gloomy vigil]

[molten thicket]

uh yeahhhh

[fervent wolf]

I'm ashamed

[lunar zealot]

[acoustic kettle]

Oh boy

[south badger]

[quartz ember]

Oops all Jimbos

[midnight timber]

[acoustic kettle]

Greatest showman

[south badger]

i alr have a red seal steel king in my deck

ima just copy it

[quartz ember]

another skip another win

[midnight timber]

take

[south badger]

no shit

[quartz ember]

the misprint

[gloomy vigil]

maybe ?

[south badger]

fym the misprint

[gloomy vigil]

am on ante 8 boss rn

needs 300k

very large blind

[quartz ember]

misprint

op

yes take dusk

[gloomy vigil]

for what

instead of

my bad

[south badger]

uhhhh

idk

[quartz ember]

depends how easilyyouplay your hand

[gloomy vigil]

double pair

[south badger]

ask the bird

[quartz ember]

and how much chips and mult it has

[gloomy vigil]

max level

[fervent wolf]

There's no max level what

[gloomy vigil]

10

[quartz ember]

right, so level e308, that should score alot

[gloomy vigil]

perchance

[quartz ember]

well that sucks but just replace smiley in that case

[gloomy vigil]

really ?

I thought that was my main source of score

[quartz ember]

well its 50% score, since it gives +5 to your +10

(a little more)

[south badger]

i discarded too hard and threw the run

[gloomy vigil]

so how will the dusk help

[quartz ember]

hmm

[gloomy vigil]

I dont understand what dusk does anyway

does it like redo everything all over

[quartz ember]

actually it will not be better

[gloomy vigil]

reroll till negative ?

[quartz ember]

you should replace pareidolia if you can

[gloomy vigil]

what

hell no

[quartz ember]

but nothing if you cant

since pareidolia is not giving you any score

[south badger]

it work like chad but it retriggers all of the cards but only one time

[gloomy vigil]

the 2x mult comes from pare

[quartz ember]

uhh

[gloomy vigil]

photo only works with face cards

[acoustic kettle]

Just play face cards

[quartz ember]

you knowthere are actual face cards in your deck

[acoustic kettle]

[gloomy vigil]

cant play em all the time

[quartz ember]

but then again I do doubt that you'd be able to draw them well

[gloomy vigil]

yeah

it sucks that its a very large bind

300k is too much

[dapper belfry]

average yorick run

[south badger]

true

[quartz ember]

its like the hanging chad, but instead of 2 triggers on one card, its 1 trigger on all cards

[acoustic kettle]

Only on last hand

[gloomy vigil]

so dusk or nah

[lunar zealot]

why were you not playing pairs

[trail acorn]

completionist plus finally 🥹 (2 burned jokers are enough for gold stake)

[south badger]

i once had a few bilion run got the yorick on lik eante 11 and discarded too hard

[wintry ice]

are your hand levels still low

[south badger]

cus ancient joker duh

[gloomy vigil]

kinda

[fervent wolf]

Hi Kami

[acoustic kettle]

2 the ricks and you still play flush

[gloomy vigil]

I only have decent levels on two pair

level 10

[quartz ember]

well if you cant get 300k then replace pareidolia since that theoretically increases score, but I thought you said you can do 85k per hand which is enough to get 300k

[gloomy vigil]

I mean I dont want to risk it

I need to play all double pairs for that

fuck it we ball

[quartz ember]

well too bad, should have gotten better cards earlier

[gloomy vigil]

ok am skipping dusk lets see what happens

[tranquil steppe]

4 gold win streak on anaglyph. Can I get 5?

[wintry ice]

can't you just play two pairs of face and non-face cards

[south badger]

another peak run that im also prolly gunna lose

[wintry ice]

shortcut burnt

my beloved

[fervent wolf]

Sadly photo and smiley tho

[quartz ember]

[quartz ember]

faceplant time

[fervent wolf]

"Plants don't have faces"

[nimble depot]

Prior to getting jokers that help orient the direction for a run, what cards are fairly safe to blow up with early deck thinning? (shop 1 jonkler pack had trading card)

[wintry ice]

aces are safe to delete

[pale wolf]

all, but it depends on what jokers you have

[midnight timber]

b

[fervent wolf]

What if scholar

[pale wolf]

id usually kill like 4s and 7s and 10s

more often the suit matters, i kill red suits

[south badger]

[gloomy vigil]

lovely

[pale wolf]

[south badger]

[acoustic kettle]

You never wait for a negative

[lunar zealot]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1071975977523089518.gif?quality=lossless&name=plink&size=48

[south badger]

had two money pops again

w

i see a great future

[autumn glen]

OH MY GOD

[vocal rose]

what

[autumn glen]

its THE run

[vocal rose]

that is the most average joker setup

i see photochad and bp tho

[autumn glen]

ok mr. negative

[fervent wolf]

That's even worse 😭

[vocal rose]

those are good

[wintry ice]

+1 joker slot tho

[bleak blaze]

Stencil⁴

[fervent wolf]

It's basic tho

[vocal rose]

tru

[nova elk]

did anyone get this situation where once they collected new information on a thing in balatro about something, so something else in their brain shuts down, so thats my issue now

[autumn glen]

i played one pair and beat the boss blind

[south badger]

stencil

[bleak blaze]

Just a few stencils

I didnt get more than 4 sadly which I was bummed about

[silk tapir]

Flushmaxxed
pretty tiny deck given there's Hologram here
what matters is skill tho

[south badger]

pray for me gng

if i get through i live

if not the n im fully cooked

[lost vault]

thats some pretty impressive deckfixing for having non purple seals

[still cradle]

Idk how balatro is only on update 1

[south badger]

peak

[robust lance]

Quality over quantity

[silk tapir]

trading card + an immolate was nice

[lost vault]

aah that explains

[still cradle]

Yeah I really like this game even though the trade off was making me like 6x more suicidal

[silk tapir]

also lost a few hearts from glass

[still cradle]

The pain of being 1 chip sort or 1 card away from a flush

[silk tapir]

i was playing singles as throwaways for the bus anyways

[still cradle]

Makes a pistol taste amazing

[wintry ice]

"i love this pie so much i could die"

[still cradle]

Idk if this is even possible but 1v1 mode or like a deck maker in the future

Would be elite

[dawn imp]

should i get rid of anything for baron here?

[wintry ice]

multiplayer 1v1 is already a thing as a mod

[still cradle]

So why not make it an offical game mode

I personally don’t like installing mods

[wintry ice]

it's not in thunk's interest

[south badger]

it was a peak run gng. gg. oh btw the plant wouldve slimed me anyway

[wintry ice]

as explained in #🙋・frequently-asked

[still cradle]

Shame

[lost vault]

mrreow~ >w<

[ivory portal]

Yo is this a good build

I play pair

Idk what mine does really

Mime

Is it only the add on ability

Or the chips as well

[bleak blaze]

Get some gold cards in hand and instead of getting $3 you get $6 because Mime will retrigger it

And yes play pairs

[wintry ice]

this is a great start

check the standard pack for a blue seal

[atomic trout]

Mime is power

[wintry ice]

they're even more overpowered with mime

[ivory portal]

So

[ivory portal]

Ahhhh

Alright

I'll try

[ivory portal]

I always skip packs

[atomic trout]

Get a Steel and Gold card with a red seal and reap the rewards

[ivory portal]

I thought they were a watse of money

[ivory portal]

Yes I have a steel

[wintry ice]

you shouldn't

[ivory portal]

And I've been deleting my face cards

[wintry ice]

they're always your first priority if you don't find anything in the shop slots

[atomic trout]

Mime with Red Seal and Mime, Baron on a steel King card 🔥🥑

[wintry ice]

(provided you have more than 25$ atleast)

[atomic trout]

It's overpowered

[wintry ice]

baron bus extreme strateging

[ivory portal]

I'm cooked

I already used pair

And high card

NVM

THERES A STRAIGHT RIGHT THERE

[ivory portal]

Ooo

[atomic trout]

Mime did this.. 😢

[ivory portal]

Idk what a baron is but fire

[atomic trout]

The devil! 6.666

All with High Card

Try this seed

[ivory portal]

Wowwww

Mime is good

I've never done a seeded run

I'll stay unseeded

[atomic trout]

Me neither.

I just got lucky with the Highest Card

[ivory portal]

My seedginity

[atomic trout]

That sounds lame 🤣

Almost as lame as the calculator

[gloomy vigil]

it is what it is

what do you mean

the game shows you how to make all hands

also lets you sort by either rank or suit

[fervent wolf]

Probably not worth it right

[vocal rose]

erm

yes it is

u still got time to pivot into and deck fix

also foiled

[fervent wolf]

And it's foil as well so ig it can replace ice-cream right

[vocal rose]

why does it replace anything

you have 4/5 slots

[robust lance]

Painted deck player tries a new deck (colorized)

[ivory portal]

Yoooo

[fervent wolf]
