i think if i had a dollar for every time i lost, ill be filthy rich right now
It took me 15 hours to win my first run
well its been months since i bought and played the game
idk i have terribl;e foresight in this game so it makes it hard
improvement rate is very low
I think it was around 5-7hrs for me, and I'm still not convinced about campfire lol...perhaps it's more useful than I think at higher difficulties though
definitely trash at white and red difficulties
It is the fastest scaling xmult
i agree
It is even better at lower difficulties
I need to read it again it seemed SLOW for scaling
its like buff up if u have good luck, moni and the right situation
Since there are less things to worry about
it is, u need to sacrifice a lot
Ok I'll get whatever
.25x per thing sold is not slow
if its like a huge blind and u have like 100+ or 200+ coins, u can refresh shops, sell stuff and cross the blind
with a low chance
.25 is low
when ur budget tight
im trying to do docs old challenge of all 15 decks without dying on gold stake
im losing my mind
You only need 2 to 3x to win an ante anyway
wdym tight budget
if you're hitting interest cap
you're able to get campfire to 2-3x EASILY
It's like 30 dollars max if you reroll badly
hmmm
$30? there's the cost of the rerolls
30 dollars for both tarots / jokers and rerolls
But realistically it's never that expensive
interesting
what the fuck

You can get campfire to 2x in as little as 4 dollars
Hit emperor or high priestess
From arcana packs
Use them
Sell the planets from priestess or tarots from emperor
That would be 2 dollars then
Well sure
Or lower with the discount voucher
eternal polychrome egg moment
when is it good to move the blueprint around? or I should keep it in one place?
Guys can I put mods on iPhone or no chance?
no
you need to be copying trousers
copying photograph is giving you less mult
i'll know that next time, just lost
I hope to get blueprint in the beginning like i did in this run
Im thinking of reseting until i do but its a bit sweaty
Good god...
As long as it's for a challenge, there's no shame in resetting until you get a certain thing
chat, what's statistically the best build
nope, not for a challenge
idk what cards I should unlock
i got 23 left to unlock
There is no "best build." Pairs are great, but anything can be good with the right jokers and deck-fixing
there isn't any
thats just not how this game works
Show collection pages 7-10
):
its just gonna be a spam of pics
Show pages 7-10
you dont need to specifcially go for anything
just play the game and see what naturally happens
yeah I wouldn't worry about unlocking anything specific yet
just focus on getting some wins and moving up in stakes
thanks john balatro
Discard a royal flush for Brainstorm. I wouldn't worry about anything else atm
everytime roffle puts gold or blue seal on a face card i die inside
Why? They're the cards he's most likely to keep in his deck
I gotta find first a royal flush
Yes, but you can make it easier with deck-fixing
they are the cards most likely to be debuffed by bosses
that's true but not quite good at it
by one more debuffer
By that logic you shouldn't use faces at all
the mark doesnt debuff cards?
yeah but it affects knowing if that card has a gold or seal
Mark makes you draw them face-down, goofball
no shit
I mean your concern is correct yes there WILL be another boss that will debuff the seals
Face-down isn't a debuff. Your logic is invalid, cope, seethe, mald. (Just joking, but you did say debuff)
but if the seal itself is the concern then I'd say the benefits outweigh that
the mouth is so fkin annoying
since you're still going to get value from the seal for plenty of rounds
i guess roffle is always thinking of a baron or idol pivot
because he makes content
no I mean slapping a seal on a face card has actual benefit to it and synergy
what benefit?
I've seen doc slap blue seals on face cards too
slapping glass or lucky yes
does the suit matters?
yes because it needs to be a royal flush
anything that retiggers better put on face or 2-5
roffle aims to play into endless so yeah
but not which suit
you will get a royal flush
play what
its a deck that is made of two suits
Any suit as long as they're the same
has higher chance of drawing royal flushes than other decks
yeah I've timed it a couple times and it takes on average like 2 minutes to unlock brainstorm on checker deck
That's not me, that's from sui 93 gold steak
Neither do I 
feel like some jokers are made to be unlocked after some decks
brainstorm and checkered
It's not that they appear often, it's that they are kept for the longest
HtR and erratic
retrying docs $100 dollar challenge because I was too shit at the game to do it
now its just pride
whoops that was not supposed to send here
I agree about the geese
who would win $100 or $1,000 geese
whoever wins
$100
i think if game stats only counted till ante 8 the number of brainstorms and bluesprints would be way lower in user profiles
You're eating
at least for me it would
On that profile at least there wasn't much endless
that profile was ante 8
but yeah it would be nice to have two separate stat pages
i wish there was a counter for all hands played
uploading user profile?
yeah
oh yeah
went into rabit hole of installing ADB to extract my balatro install
but i couldnt figure it out
getting my profile.jkr file from android
You don't
guys
It's not stored on your phone, you have to retrieve it from Google takeout
you'd never believe that im using these jokers
or at least, you can retrieve it from Google takeout much easier
oh didnt know
just request your Google Play games data
Aaaagghhh damn you gold stake
I guess it wouldn't be if you're only reading data
hi there
why did i take eternal scholar
because it could be a good early game saver
ALL FROM REBATE
guys i have a doubt

how do u guys decide
yeah
found negative photo later
whether to go for face card use or go for flush?
like u need to decide which deck type to stick to right?
or at what ante do u decide tht at?
cause i cant decide
Ik, but I figured I'd say gold because I'm playing gold
mostly face cards are good
not necessarily
so what you do
is don't do either
and "go for" a certain way of playing
thats now how this game is made
Wheel hit 3 TIMES IN A ROW
you go with what the game GIVES you as its a roguelite
wdym?
woah
you're saying "go for" flushes or face cards and "when" should you
oh my God a third banana hit the the balatro
Hi thunk
🙂
i mean not when i should
hello
you should do that if the game leads you taht way
like i dont know which deck to stick to
any deck is fine
just nod or shake your head, is it lakatan
just keep playing
like how do i decide which deck should i go for a run im goi got do rn?
Am I a great Joker Thunk
did anyone else see the joker
perchance
@vocal rose so say i was going for a flush build, but then it was not going that good, or i got good cards but it was not for my build or something like ht
chance of seeing it
wht wld i do then?
like at what ante at least should i have a build fixed for the currrect run?
ok
lets see here
over here
do i play for flushs, or go for a pair and level up the trousers joker?
you should play two pairs
SPAM two pairs
I would sell the dusk
for interest
ok, but what if the joker is like disposed?
?
since two pairs dont always give huge points
There isn't necessarily a right way to pivot your deck towards. It's what ever you feel is the right call or what the run gives you.
so ur telling i scale it in such a way it becomes a huge multipler based joker?
yes
via playing lots of two pairs
hmm... understood
do I remove anything?
Do I, chat
allegedly
I would say yes if you got a plan with deck fixing
synergy ♥️
I knew it
you should do nothing for a bit and get back to interest
how do i enable it? never saw tht option ever
mods
It's a mod
Unfortunately
oohh... is it usefull so far?
i think i've seen a few utubers use it
do i go for anything?
qol mostly
Should I copy sock or golden ticket to make the most money or is it the same?
no cropping out information when asking for advice
I don't have it; I'm on mobile
mb, i thght it was enough
oh ok
you didn't sell dusk 💔
"All information is good information"
you should sell dusk and keep spamming two pair until you get $25
which is interest cap
Neither joker here is worth it. You got a good scaling +mult already
depending on how run ending the second boss is, take it for a2, otherwise sell dusk and go next
how abt instead of selling i use buy ceremonial dagger and sacrifice it?
nope
dagger bad
no
exactly
which serves the same purpose but just WAY better
you lose money, scaling with trousers, the econ snowball potential with paying it now
oh, so focus on trousers and nothing until something better comes up?
yes
for this run sure
for now
if you find econ
take it
but trousers can carry you
and lunchador?
you don't need it
understood
.
Save your money
Ante 1 abandoned deck gold stake, ride the bus is in the shop, and I don't notice until I've already opened the booster pack (which gave me hologram). 🤔 welp
i sold it, but thght illl try luck here
do i take stone cards or not take stone cards at all?
you should take the blue seal
shouldn't have done that
when you're opening standard packs you mainly want seals
ok, no matter what build, i prioritize seals?
not this early at least
blue seals generally
ik, but thght ill try luck with getting good cards
Yes
luck isn't going to get you past the later antes as a way out
I want to say Polychrome cards if it's synergestic with the build you plan on building long term
since very little of that contributes to winning ante 8
But seals are big ones you want to pick
not with pants
Fair
polychrome cards lowkey feel omega overrated if you're not doing a retrigger build
I was thinking bigger hands like 4oak
or any unconditional mult source jokers
And retriggers
and rocket too?
i think i can take gold joker to increase econ right?
oh wait, only one
Rocket is good econ yes
I would take rocket
rocket
may ik why?
to the moon
math
like the other gives 4 gold
true
Every joker is a pair joker except trio, family, order and tribe, prove me wrong
yeah what thunk said
but rocket will give you more money overall
wait
as it scales
rocket is better if you plan on surviving
Legendary Joker Idea: Multiplies Chips based on current Ante
after 10 rounds, rocket profits above golden
so u mean payout increases by two, so every ante it adds by 4 gold?
Rocket is cool
every ante it adds 2 gold
so you get 3 gold after ante 2
5 gold after ante 3
Look at this joker, what does he know? lol
holy
and it upgrades before boss blind cash out
aahh... understood
tbh, i just saw ur name and realized who u are
that counts for something
BANANA TIME ‼️
you get 3 dollars at the end of the boss round
nuh uh
oh sick
Was rocket designed on a soundstage in Hollywood?
but tht takes space, tell him to get out of there
[redacted]
so I dont need to optimize for stickering
bye cav
oh I thought you were doing c++
never thought id be selling cav
I gave up
do i go for spectral packs?
I got half of the stickers done
I mean, given that the design looks like some 50s-60s set piece yeah, I guess so.
lol just rotating streaks now
yes
I love it when I get the perfect jokers !!!!!
In almost all cases, skip tags are not worth it.
i usually do, but dunno if i shld now
do I take ancient for mad joker?
it took me around two months for me to get 15 rotating
I tried it long ago when doc did his challenge
Mad joker is negative, king. selling it won’t give u a slot
I was too ass
ik, cause u get money from playing. but then spectrals are usually good right?
and got like 8 done
you don't skip generally at all for winning a majority of runs. let's the player know the pacing of the blinds when you don't skip at all
nono, I'm saying that skip tags outside of an early investment tag or economy is not worth it.
is rocket actually better than gimbo when you factor in short term interest/power gain from the added earlier econ & eventually selling them?
hi there
i was stupid when I did like true rotating and did them in order
oh ok
Do I take this instead of brainstorm?
thunk you really shouldn't leak your banana in public
Or is that stupid
so keeping my money atm
ohhhh
hmm guess ill skip then
what
yeah you take instead of brainstorm
but the legendary cards only appear at tarrot cards right?
no
i never got one in spectral packs
NO WAAAAAY MORE BANNAA
they can appear in arcanas or spectral packs
I thought for a second that it's a remaster of Cavendish
Eternal is the worst design ever
ight
there's like a 0.3% or smth chance for any card in a tarot or spectral pack to be replaced by a soul card
So lack of flexibility
smh who made eternal
who would do such a thing
X10000 mult banana you get after cavendish breaks!!!
eternal is best designed stake level, no contest
Rental was just made to appease ThunkCo investors 😞 the world we live in, man
in order ?
Does madness trigger but leave the joker alone?
yes

why couldnt the person that made eternal split its sold and destroyed immunity as a separate entity smh my head
eternal really does mean eternal
yeah
there is no way for them to leave your joker roster
You should add a random button (random deck and stake)
I didn’t think madness would trig
from green to yelo
ye
madness doesn't eat anything, it just does its scaling and then makes one of your jokers go poof
Has anyone questioned the morality of an eternal joker? It will live to see all of its perishable friends and family die 😞
do jokers die when you lose the runs
did i make a bad decisiion by getting the joker in the end?
these are the questions
yeah every eternal joker that has ever existed is still conscious
When Small Blind or Big Blind is selected, gain X0.5 Mult and destroy a random Joker
😭

so all the legendaries are dead
Aw fuck me the madness has seen everything
runner is too good 😩
rip luchy
why you think he like that
damn...
Crack?
Nat negative but its bad
peter what are you doing

Btw we got Ramen AND Gift card stickered!
do i get arcana packs?
but grimbo
the real moral question is the violet vessel
you put your eternal grimbo through all of that pain and suffering in watching his chad friends sly and jolly get sold off to the joker trade for the virgin photochad, only to lose anyways hereby making his suffering all for naught
no
you can still discard with grimbo
wht is this stickering?
would either get todd or go next
but why not?
I developed a Jimbo tulpa from reading this
grimbo is not losing strength once you played enoug hands
What
there is a chance to delete cards or get legendary right?
what is sticker for?
Gold stake sticker
Why do you place the pirate after driver liscence
On a joker
i have no idea wtf a tulpa is, and looking it up did not help
So Brainstorm can copy dl
pirate cant drive
oh nvr mind then. i did not go over red stake yet
do i sell swashbuckler or not?
Team cherry needs to get on another collab so we can have hornet queen of hearts
cause i can only upgrade trousers two times per run because of it
yk that requires you to be above 54 bucks for it to do something right
Photo chad is eternal
The schizo equivalent of an imaginary friend
anyways, todd, sell sw*sh, go next
Did you know: vagabond is woke
ok
Vagabond has TDS and his cost of living is fine actually
i thought having an imaginary friend was already the schizo equivalent of having a friend
schizo²?
you have rocket
yea but till now only $10
This is literally the best case for early game const
Also you need to save for interest
you gonna be buying uranus
Okay so Tulpas are an ancient Tibetan spiritualist practice wherein you develop an independent consciousness within your own mind which can manifest as auditory and visual hallucinations. They’re well-documented as being real but they’re insanely schizo
so might as well scale const with it
rocket will be better if you decide to invest in it
buy, tbh it is worth it and pantaloons should make u survive the next ante's
- u already have rocket
pasive income
ok
also you dont have to put serious money into constellation till ante 5
is egg good?
not really
so just try to keep ur money over the interest cap+
i feel its a good emergency fund
i mean u already have rocket u dont need that much econ
basically tibetans were voluntarily tripping balls
i see
on black deck you can afford to take it with the extra joker slot
damn, all in one
Pretty much yeah
but only buy it if it doesnt cut into your interest
but money i get from rocket is max $10
chill dudes
js keep ur econ over the interst cap (25$ im assuming)
what ante did you get rocket
bbc is useless
ok then
rocket makes a lot of money
for sure
2nd
so its 4$ a round
oh so reading what i said made you visualize jimbo in your room
show hand levels
just now only got 9 dollars
BBC is the only way I could score if not th4 kings
its only a 1,5x
while bones is 4x
daammnnnn
beats no xmult
'needle is the final one
what do i do now?
flushes im guessing?
Tru
its so over

but bones is by far your best shot
Nope unfortunately
10 $ a reroll
sell trib and buy bones
damn
Yeah
and copy BBC
Its prollt cooked
not really
Yeah definitely
5x
Wish me luck
So close to C++.....
remember to copy bbc
bones + copied bbc is 5x
a good hand should get the score enough for bones to die
Erosion for me. You?
10+ flat mult times 5x. whats the score requierment
keep money above interest cap
ok
this run is so fun
Stone is hard to get
ong
im guessing skipping for negative is also not worth it?
welp thats a hanging chat
you should grab that
Shojld I sell BBC for business?
nooo
this run wa so stupid
keep the potential xmult for hands without K and Qs
Kk
you have any gold seals or lucky cards?
Bunch luckiest and 3 red seals
nice
+5 more gold stickers !!!!!
copy chad on lucky cards and pray for a money shot
what do i do if interest is above?
New card type idea:
galaxy cards
Have a 10% chance of replacing their respective planet cards
Each planet card has a corresponding galaxy card
Galaxy cards add x.05 mult to their hand types
Example:
Andromeda- Adds x.05 mult to Full House
good luck
like i have 37
time for me to go back to super mario rpg enough balala today
its so over
with seed money it's 50, with tree money, it's 100
can smb tell me why my game crashes every time i try to score this straight
Holy rng
why does my game crash every time i play this straight
Do i sell Chad or bbc
that's more on the nature of black deck sucking
Sell chad
Sure
do i go for hack?
If I took the ankh earlier I would've been so boned
all of those adjectives for cavendish 2
Just ai check it
"overall strategic configuration", "possessing it within my collection",
those are just not balatro terms dawg
ai generated slop
guys, is gold seal and gold card a terrible combo ?
I think the last stake is stupid, rental jokers? come on.
they've been ragebaiting from day one 🥀
With all due disrespect you can’t be the judge of that
can somebody help me out...
i clocked it was ai slop immediately
It’s not bad but it’s not the best use of either
40 reasons why you should probably play balatro?
I’d rather have a gold card gold seal on one card than 2 cards with one of each on them I think
no, because u get money beither way
its literally a win win
True one gets activated when one does not
Bc then you can copy both effects with 1 death
well would you rather have a red seal gold or a gold seal gold
its just not great
Ehat else ahpjld I be scared of
judgement day
all those adjectives for the third easiest joker in the game to use though
NOT reading allat what the fuck
is this the worlds first run with a viable seance?
if u have seal u need to keep that in hand and if u have gold card within it , u must need to play that to get $3 of the other way around, u can't choose both at the same time dawg.
blackboard is a top 10 joker???
MATTHEW PATTHEW
Wair what the fuck im in ante 12 alresdy
I score e12 with bad copies
So yeah
my past 7 games of gold stake all of my final bosses have been violet vessel and crimson heart
I cant take this
blessing you with amber acorn
imagine if vv and crimson heart were merged together into an abomination
do i take jj or not?
adding the other 3 finisher blinds wouldnt necessarily do much
lowkey winnable if you do
ez
And I hit blueprint
but rerolls are pretty expensive
yeah i know
This is such a fun run
unless i have the reroll cost cutting voucher
does perkeo (-ve) with a single consumable provide some sort of crazy money glitch ?
no
don’t reroll if you wouldn’t have rerolled without jj
EITHER way
I forgot glass instantly breaks 
"the coding is good" you have not looked at the code. the code is spaghetti
I hope it snews soon.
you don’t need to, and sorry but you also don’t need the discord to make every decision for you
if your reasons are just lies then theyre not good reasons
do you want another scaling +mult
noot noot
and i would if i wanted to
i dont want to
no youre just annoying
youre not block worthy
you cannot ragebait me
balatro time
hello
HEHEHEHE
hey man dont need to be so rude
really sounds like it
the list also lists tags as a reason when most of them are unusable
alright
holy overreaction
i think you should give yourself a chill pill 😔😔
Nice loophole dude. We were stumped
Unfortunately, it doesn’t pay to be nice.
who was it this time
if it's an overreaction ill be told by the mods, theyre not worker ants doing whatever I say lol
Pezza.
what is that
wait, why cant i find any of his msgs?
id still fuck it up tho
The crust is for psychpaths.
All deleted
Banned
the mods ate them
Nah you don't joke around about suicide in here period. Especially toward someone else.
Could be better
what the fuck is this abandoned seed
@serene forge blunder react him
Face up to your fears
Could be showman pareidolia
uhh one sec
what happened
Easy sock here because it costs more right?
Someone who sounded like chatgpt made a suicide joke and got banned
Someone told lilo to kill herself but painted it as "balatro yourself".

do i sell him because of chicot, or keep him for the multipler for now?
the brand new ragebaiter tried to joke about suicide and then loophole it
they did more than the chatgpt ass rant about blackboard
jordan alt
they should get doxxed
Dear god, I can barely afford it
i need to see that one
I said what i said, raid my house with pitchforks if you will.


i think they had a fight with skinky over nothing

Relatable
do i do it or not?
maybe they liked showman

(deserved ban)

and also acted like posting something from a mod they were working on wasn't an invitation to comment on their worm
what's flash at ?
8ball chad on abandoned... my beloved
sell bloodstone
Ey
0
this is maybe the worst invis i have ever seen
did not reroll yet
keep it
what the fuck
i meant lunchador
Doesn't even have shortcut smh.
I'm hungry
hi hungry
hi vic
im having roll right now
your wife is predictable
yeahhhh but I love her


RAAAAAAAHHHHH BABA IS YOU IS ON MOBILE!!!
bala is tro
the bala is tro
Tro...
carebear
uh ?
lilo can u make this spin
holy win
fair enough
i mean
sell bloodstone
lmao
walkie talkie!!
what about pre-emptive oops
sell bloodstone
what about throwing your run for an oops that will never come?
your photo already pulls more than bloodstone
invest more in it
the greed got to me
when oops comes I will weep in regret
it's ante 11 and you have no econ
bye blueprint hi hologram
oops will not come
wait did the ai guy get smited
gold stickers
yeah
because i literally got a ping where he listed 40 reasons why balatro is good
😭
deadass
it should, because you can technically avoid getting your cards discarded (low handsize, hanged man, etc)
but i don't think it does
meet potential econ
but flint does... :(
"trust me if you get this boss you cash out"
trust
HOLY SHOP
matador if it was good (and also really boring and didn't fit the theme): earn $6 on final hand of round
seance is actually good yo
0 blind usage
0 benefit before the boss
7 bosses where i dont work
potential econ at its finest
I hate Bloodstone
second one is factually incorrect because of double or nothing
just cracked an ecto for when I see it again
you did WHAT to an ecto
does matador proc on crimson heart
you have zero econ
54 dolares
im not very creative 3:
from gold stamps
that's nothing
👻
im not doing a naneinf runs as long as Im above 25 I have everything I need
you quite literally don't you're wishing for a fucking oops 😭
yeah i will find it like a real man
i sold 8ball because i have blue seals i want
you all fucking doomed me
if I still had bloodstone wed be in ante 20 rn
no you wouldnt
youd make it to ante 14 at best
endless scaling is ridiculous
ante 20 in ur dreams
bloodstone would power me I would yo
you all doubt me but I know deep down haters dont prosper
the cavalry disagrees
Like the new pfp thunk 🧡
Trousers unless youre copying glass
trousers to score
Or polychrome/holo playing card
parking for money
Also take wheel here for polychrome bp
Imagine wheel working
yup, wheel said: nah not this time
Every wheel I've ever used has hit
no
Defo not whatever the card said
I hate Bloodstone
Don’t even have it unlocked
why when I take mime he never retriggers cards? does it need to be types like glass/holo etc?

Mime works with steel or gold cards
When the effect is in hand
Most famous with baron which makes kings in hand x1.5 each
People would be less biased against Space joker / Wheel of fortune, if you could play 5 wheel of fortunes in every hand, several hands per round, every round, like you can with lucky/glass cards, and the usage would actually get to the numbers where % chance and statistics makes sense.
"I used Wheel of time 8 times before it triggered once!"
...and if it triggered exactly every 4th instead of random, it would have triggered... twice instead of once.
So in your case, it triggered 1 less time than expected.
That's barely worth mentioning.
That's like saying "We've had a whole 2 WEEKs without rain! Can you imagine that? What are the odds?"
After you use it 100+ times without save scumming, and it triggers significantly less than 25, then you maybe can start worrying
It's called the Gambler's fallacy, I reckon, this outlook of "I lost so many times, surely I will soon win". Your previous 7 failures don't do shit to the 1 in 4 chance. You are biased. Reality is not. It doesn't care how many times you failed, the 1 in 4 chance of Wheel, 1 in 6 chance of a dice roll, 1 in 2 chance of a coin flip DOESN'T CHANGE.
It DOESN'T KNOW OR CARE that you think that you've lost multiple times already so this time you DESERVE IT
dang almost lost that run jeez
Peter.
should I rerarrange or keep it as it is?
Blue print on the left
Blueprint the photo
So you have 2 chads triggering photo
copy photo for score
copy chad if you want to farm lucky card money or something
Glass btw
copy reserved parking
I got no lucky money or stuff, only glass card
5^2 < 3^4
.
is the entire deck glass
5^4 < 3^8
what
2nd run in a row with shop 1 brainstorm that I cannot afford
Uhhhhhh
crying
only one
.
King on spades
It’s steel mate
5^4 < 3^8

Bro so good at math he knows every decimal of pie
it would be impractical to do so
So are we
Touch grass chat
There is scarce reason to go past 3.14
So it’s worth skipping blind with negative?
Are you an engineer
3.14159
I actually work at NASA
but what is pie
My greatest invention for NASA is a Balatro particle accelerator
as in pi*e
So youre an aerospace engineer
