[strange compass]

And econ can be build by other means too

[silent quiver]

I think hiker is at least a source of chips even tho its not the best

[safe venture]

Flushes tend to be ehh when it comes to chips and mult scaling

Having a joker that helps you with that is a big help

[deft sandal]

honestly, I can try.

[native cape]

ah ok

[deft sandal]

troubadour is just another hand tbh

[wintry ice]

well that's my xmult

[safe venture]

The serpent is actually so funny dude

[ivory portal]

Is this the best order

[safe venture]

For scoring?

No

[strange compass]

You guys I think Thunk wants me

[ivory portal]

What shd it be

[wintry ice]

🥀

[safe venture]

Brainstorm Chad

[ivory portal]

Photo

[ivory portal]

Alright thank u

[strange compass]

This is white stakes so I think I can also take holo instead of the straight mult joker

[silent quiver]

This is just

[sinful plaza]

bro I was fucking playing this very similar joker setup

[silent quiver]

Like i already won i had to go one roundninto endless for my invis to pop but like

What is even going on

[deft sandal]

i sure hope this is maybe close to naneinf

[distant thunder]

didja get better luck?

[sinful plaza]

is yours seeded

[distant thunder]

no

[sinful plaza]

wow

[wintry ice]

could replace trading card with this

[strange compass]

Chad+Smile+Evil Smile+Photo+Holo is the order I'll go for I think

[ivory portal]

It's up to u

[distant thunder]

lmao

[marsh vine]

the second I leave high stake grinds to relax I get this
are you kidding me

where were you for the past 20h of playtime

[ivory portal]

But idk who wouldn't take photo

[deft sandal]

not doing this on plasma deck is crazy

[ivory portal]

If ur playing chad

[distant thunder]

this run was the closest i got to a wee into idol run

[silent quiver]

1 reroll away

[sinful plaza]

I unlocked it after winning

[safe venture]

WEEEE

[strange compass]

Oh I am taking both

[deft sandal]

that's great

[ivory portal]

What

What did u use to get that much money

[strange compass]

Naneinf?

Can someone tell me how is naneinf easier on plasma

[ivory portal]

The number is so high the game doesn't register it

[ivory portal]

It's easier to get higher scores

[sinful plaza]

my loss screen

[marsh vine]

are we fr rn

[deft sandal]

I know this will not naneinf but it can help me see whether i can reach the hand size or not

[strange compass]

You're supposed to use chips early and then use mults right

[safe venture]

The balancing mechanic

[strange compass]

Is there a deck where naneinf isn't possible?

[marsh vine]

no

[ivory portal]

No

[safe venture]

All of them are possible

[deft sandal]

Oh, I have no cards

[marsh vine]

however could that have happened

[deft sandal]

let's see how close it gets

[sinful plaza]

how is it possible to draw the whole deck out

[ivory portal]

I hateeeee

[strange compass]

Is this still the only naneinf strat?

[ivory portal]

I HATE THAT BOSS BLIND

[safe venture]

It is if you have little enough cards

[ivory portal]

There's a lot

[strange compass]

OMG pillar late game is awful

[deft sandal]

or you can perkeo/observatory

[sinful plaza]

how does that very sophisticated blonde haired man with glasses do it

[ivory portal]

I actually could've rerolled boss blind

[safe venture]

Or if you did the chicot glitch

[ivory portal]

But I wasn't paying attention

[safe venture]

(fuck you chicot)

[marsh vine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e8-QeANHJU

[strange compass]

Mecore

[deft sandal]

I did the crimson heart bean glitch tbh

[sinful plaza]

He gets like many many red seal Kings

[ivory portal]

Do I get rid of mime

[sinful plaza]

With glass I think

[ivory portal]

For rebate

[deft sandal]

ehh

[ivory portal]

Like in kinda broke

[strange compass]

I used to watch him when I played the game for the first time

[ivory portal]

Nicee

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[ivory portal]

I only wqcth bean

[serene forge]

why are you using burger

[deft sandal]

just to test how close I am to naneinf

[serene forge]

ah

[sinful plaza]

it is 308 you need get

[deft sandal]

chat, I'm selling troubadour for DNA

[dawn sedge]

ts does not win yo wtf

[distant thunder]

it did the wee had like more than 1.5k

welp it did until that exact screenie

[rain ice]

Rewarded for not taking the double skip sad to see stuntman though 😅

[strange compass]

Should I take Paradoelia with me too?

[unborn cliff]

why are you sad you're set on scoring until like ante 5 or 6

[rain ice]

Stuntman has hurt me many times I no like him

[dawn sedge]

sure

[unborn cliff]

your scoring is set for minimum 5 antes

please just take stuntman

[strange compass]

I can replace gros Michelle and straight joker with phot and holo but don't know who Ill kick for Para

[rain ice]

Oh I will is free but im not happy about it 😂

[strange compass]

Stuntman I think is slightly overrated

The hand reduction really hurts

[deft sandal]

bruh I just rolled through a bean, should've take it and roll for crimson heart (jk, i will die)

[serene forge]

take both?

it's white stake i think you literally win instantly by taking both

[silent quiver]

I think i make past this ante then its over

[lost vault]

doesnt matter comsideribg the meta

[silent quiver]

Still the modt interesting run ive had all week i think

It is only monday tho

[deft sandal]

i should sell burglar for the Showman, right?

[lost vault]

are you surviving without it?

[dawn sedge]

sell the baron

[ivory portal]

Omg ts is ass

CHAD PHOTO IS SO USELESS

[deft sandal]

yeah. burglar not doing much except add hands, not hand size

[ivory portal]

Can I just get a baron ols

[deft sandal]

oh wait

if it hits like mime/baron. I'm still fine

but the point is, I need to survive two round with it

I'm taking it

e94 with full steel in hand

[dawn sedge]

thats DEFINITELY hitting chaos dude 😂 ✌️

[deft sandal]

i'm definitely selling the chaos before ripping it

lmao

i have both reroll voucher, it only save me $1 from my $1.5k

great, i just rip it without selling DNA

[lost vault]

holy hell what is this start

[deft sandal]

I'm saving that DNA until I found burglar

[serene forge]

here win

[deft sandal]

diet cola looking real good

[deft sandal]

HOLY VAGABUSSY

a nat rough gem would be crazy in the first ante

[silent quiver]

Goated

[lost vault]

i died

got too greedy

[silent quiver]

Bruh

[lost vault]

:3

[silent quiver]

Happens happens

[lost vault]

i overestimated even steven

[marsh goblet]

chat what cards do i strength to play more straights

[deft sandal]

that's crazy

[deft sandal]

this the point of time I realise I dont have enough steel

from my 67 card deck

[lost vault]

you have like no ectoplasm targets

the consequences of the wheel

[silent quiver]

To play straights u get rid of the edges of ur deck

[deft sandal]

i mean, ecto baron can be fine

just not DNA

[silent quiver]

Baron

[deft sandal]

huh, he just keeps showing up

[silent quiver]

But yea having holo and poly is not so good

[lost vault]

okay 1

[lost vault]

he wants you so bad

[deft sandal]

i also want him so bad

[silent quiver]

He wants u for ur money

[marsh goblet]

strength seems kinda like.. terrible for that tbh. when i see it in tarot packs when trying to play straights i normally just take something else

[deft sandal]

what a boost of score

[marsh goblet]

GAME STOP GIVING ME NOTHING BUT RENTALS FOR MY FIRST SHOP

[silent quiver]

✅✅✅✅

[deft sandal]

what cards do you find to go for straights. I feel like 6 to 10 is just easier to draw

[silent quiver]

Think about it like this

Ace is only in two straights

King is only in two straights

[marsh goblet]

middle cards are what you want but when trying to draw them i just try to fish to try and finish the row i currently have closest to a straight

[silent quiver]

2 is only in 2 straights

Queen is in three straights
Jack is in four straights
10 is in f straights

[deft sandal]

uhh

[wintry ice]

okay i guess my pair levels are wasted

[silent quiver]

But if u get rifld of all ur aces 10 is on 4 straightsa jack is in 3 queen is in 2 king is in 1

So u just like slowly ween off the edges of ur deck and give a preference for the cards that are in the most straights you can buikd

[marsh goblet]

yellow deck saved my ass on this seed bruh

[deft sandal]

i guess i have enough for naneinf, so I need to find burglar

[deft sandal]

I want him so bad now

[silent quiver]

Dub

[woven spire]

damn gl

[dapper pond]

FAHHHHHHHH

Is there anything I can do 😭😭

[silent quiver]

What r u playin?

If u rlly want it u could lose a brainstorm in theory

[marsh goblet]

i had to take an investment tag ante 3 🥀

[dapper pond]

Everything is eternal

[silent quiver]

Oh dhit i didnt even see that

[inland helm]

fucked up 🥀

[silent quiver]

Nvm yea ur just cooked

Mod ur save file

[dapper pond]

I know that now 😭✌️

[dapper pond]

-# ???

I’m not the best at this game what does that mean?!?

[deft sandal]

Chat, I did it

[silent quiver]

Cheat lmao i was joking

[marsh goblet]

i would have loved to play pairs this run but the game is forcing me into straights

[silent quiver]

U win

Its yours

[dapper pond]

Oh

[silent quiver]

Naninf

[deft sandal]

with level 100 highcard

[chrome crescent]

whats best way to have these arranged

[wintry ice]

that works

and i can just skip once for that

somewhat convoluted run

[stable owl]

3 chad 2 phot

[glad viper]

i forgot what i was doing, what do i grab

[ivory portal]

Wait

Does ankh not destroy all other jokers

[lost vault]

it sure dies

does

[deft sandal]

thank god I did the crimson bean bug

[wintry ice]

save for grabber

[craggy hearth]

Hi people

[ivory portal]

Unless it's permanent ?

[lost vault]

obviously

[wintry ice]

temperance value is better than nothing

[craggy hearth]

If it’s eternal it won’t destroy it

[lost vault]

reading the sticker explains thebsticker

[ivory portal]

Eternal

[lost vault]

"cant ve sold or destroyed"

[ivory portal]

Sorry

[lost vault]

like

[ivory portal]

I wasn't aware

[lost vault]

its okay

im just a bitch

[ivory portal]

I haven't bought a eternal joker yet

[lost vault]

:3

[ivory portal]

Even when I beat black stake

[glad viper]

ok

[deft sandal]

what's the optimized joker placement, is it 1 blueprint to mime and another bp and brainstorm to baron?

[wintry ice]

i see potential

[craggy hearth]

Make it as evened out as possible

or are you trying to use bs on burglar or whatever he’s called

[wintry ice]

actually i think it's only barely better than acrobat

[mortal needle]

Has the card drawing thing always been on screen all the time or did I just get some bug?

[wintry ice]

but it also doesn't get fucked by cheart so

where were you last run

[deft sandal]

in my hands

[wintry ice]

or i could have that i guess

i'm gonna take it over bbc

[deft sandal]

Now I've sold it and you get it

[mortal needle]

Oh yeah no this is a bug lol

[wintry ice]

perfect timing for grabber

and a blue seal too

and i got acorn so this is a free win

that was easier than i expected

[barren wigeon]

what deck should I gold stake

[deft sandal]

here we go

[wintry ice]

what do you have left

man

well i guess flash card is fine

[digital pewter]

finally, i have done all orange stake decks

now it's onto gold

[wintry ice]

why did i not just use the hex for round 2

and now i can just use flash card as a polychrome

[deft sandal]

It is taking so long for all the steels to trigger

NANEINF

[silent quiver]

LETS GOOOOOO

LOVE TO SEE IT GNG LOVE TO SEE IT

[wintry ice]

yea

[opal notch]

1 Baron, 1 Mime, 2 blueprints, with red seal king

Split copying (2 baron, 2 mime)
1.5² per trigger, 4 triggers (1 innate, 1 red seal, 2 mime)
1.5^8

Copying only baron (3 baron, 1 mime)
1.5³ per trigger, 3 triggers (1 innate, 1 red seal, 1 mime)
1.5^9

Guys, I heard that when you have the setup above, split copying is the optimal copying method, but copying baron would yield higher mults

can someone help clarify lol ;-;

[deft sandal]

https://efhiii.github.io/balatro-calculator/
just use this

[silent quiver]

Praying fir ur econ 🙏🙏🙏

[opal notch]

alright thankss

[wintry ice]

thank you for your prayers

i probably should have bought the other pack and skipped it before going into the next round

oh well

13 points off

[lost vault]

do i go for it chat

the triple chad

[deft sandal]

definitely

one photo would go crazy

[stable owl]

Obelisk players rise

[strange compass]

Can I go naneinf on this

[deft sandal]

???

[silent quiver]

Econ overrated

Doit

[heavy heron]

I SURVIVEDDD WOOOOOOOO

my god never been so desperate to survive a run

jesus christ

last shop chad and seltzer LOOLL

[marsh goblet]

HELL YEAH

okay maybe straights aren't as bad as i thought

[lost vault]

true

[marsh goblet]

they're quite good when the game hands you a shit ton of saturns

and not as hard to make as i thought

[silent quiver]

They are very good

The chip scaling in straights is great

[deft sandal]

hear me out, find a gold seal and there's your econ

[marsh goblet]

lowkey i forgot i was going for gold stake stickers and forgot to pick up a new joker to gold stake

[strange compass]

I used to do straights alot

[deft sandal]

im just going for it again and see how far can I survive

[marsh goblet]

chat what deck do you think is easiest to grind c++ on

[lost vault]

got some econ anyway

[deft sandal]

depends on the joker tbh

[strange compass]

Spectre probably

[wintry ice]

ghost is pretty efficient due to ecto

[marsh goblet]

good point

[deft sandal]

if it is a chip joker, def plasma

[wintry ice]

yellow and blue are also easy

[marsh goblet]

any joker is valuable when it's 1.5x

im doing yellow rn

[wintry ice]

most chip jokers work well enough in other decks

[strange compass]

Yellow was my first GS

[strange compass]

Idk

GS is different

I think Ghost/Spectre is best

If you want stickers

[silent quiver]

Thats literally so much better than faceless

[wintry ice]

the name is just ghost

[deft sandal]

I feel like in gold stake plasma, I'm just trying to find a early game stuntman

[acoustic kettle]

Well ghost is also easy because of the polychrome

[silent quiver]

2 gold seals

[wintry ice]

anaglyph works if you have a bunch of common stickers left

[strange compass]

And abundance of spectre cards

[silent quiver]

U find one and its literally 21 bucks assuming invis hits chad

[deft sandal]

but if the jokers in the first shops are perishable/rental, that hex isn't that great

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[acoustic kettle]

Well you don't need to use it immediately

[strange compass]

Rental is manageable

[acoustic kettle]

You can hold the hex

[strange compass]

If it's a good joker

[wintry ice]

it's still extra sell value if you do

[serene forge]

ghost lets you take any unstickered joker early and makes it useful for the late game

[acoustic kettle]

Or even sell it

[deft sandal]

yea, I would sell it for the interest

[wintry ice]

is polychrome just a +2 to sell value

[strange compass]

Just free 1.5 xmult is great

[lost vault]

justice clutched

[deft sandal]

probably could've win with that 8 highcard

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter chadchadchad

that's a mad funny loadout

[lost vault]

yeah

[deft sandal]

it counters the photo

[lost vault]

what photo

[deft sandal]

what is a chad without its photo

[serene forge]

can't have your photo countered if you don't have one to begin with

[lost vault]

exactly

[serene forge]

a good joker

[acoustic kettle]

You got it backwards

[strange compass]

Photo needs it more

[acoustic kettle]

What is photo without a chad

[serene forge]

photograph is the nepo hire

[deft sandal]

oh, right

[strange compass]

Photo isn't that crazy with no triggers

[wintry ice]

what is a rebate without it's money generation...

[deft sandal]

what is a sock without buskin

[serene forge]

photo in ante 1 is literally just jimbo but worse

[deft sandal]

at least it makes me laugh

[lost vault]

👀

[wintry ice]

honestly i would take an early photo if i had absolutely no direction

[full vortex]

8 ball is so good delete all your hanging chads to make room for it

[lost vault]

true true

[lost vault]

dude

[deft sandal]

do it

[silent quiver]

Ditching 8ball

FOUR CHADS

[lost vault]

chadchadchadchad incoming

[torn laurel]

im guessing in this situation i just sell the scary face right?

[silent quiver]

The oddest todd aroundn

[deft sandal]

a gigachad

[wintry ice]

look at this graph

[strange compass]

Yes

[deft sandal]

yay, i got through another 17 hands

[turbid jay]

do you guys buy joker packs early on? im trying to get backk into the game and im stuck on the yellow stake or wtv (rental cards), and don't remember what's worth to buy and what's not

[wintry ice]

yes

[strange compass]

Can you sell the eg

[silent quiver]

Hope ur ready to be there for another 4 hours

[strange compass]

Put the egg in the bag

[wintry ice]

if there isn't anything that helps survival or econ in the shop you should just take them early on

[torn laurel]

the egg kinda giving me hella cash rn

[scarlet hare]

Please jimbo i need this!
My deck is kinda kingless...

[torn laurel]

i got like 200$

[lost vault]

8ball moment

[wintry ice]

down with monarchy

[deft sandal]

what's the funniest boss blind to die on

[scarlet hare]

the huh?

[strange compass]

80 is enough to sell

[silent quiver]

Balling !

[wintry ice]

psychic

[scarlet hare]

sorry i only got like 20 hours idk what that means

[silent quiver]

Love 8 ball what a joker

[wintry ice]

there are no kings

[lost vault]

we need a huge clutch here

[deft sandal]

doing it for the third time

[silent quiver]

Played 8s have a sometimes out of whenever chance to give 1 tarot card

[lost vault]

you cant make this shit up

[strange compass]

Is it actually goo

[silent quiver]

It can be

[lost vault]

i got 2 money hits and 1 mult hit

[strange compass]

I don't like 8ball

[silent quiver]

Its luck based

[wintry ice]

you sold like your main scoring

[strange compass]

Cloud 9 solos

[silent quiver]

Bruh rip smh

[lost vault]

yeha that was a blunder

[silent quiver]

U gotta have a glass card for such cases

[lost vault]

i did have one

[wintry ice]

well red card is better than supernova too

[silent quiver]

I was gonna say why we sell odd todd

[deft sandal]

i cant imagine getting to naneinf on 0.5x speed

[lost vault]

that was just mad unlucky

[deft sandal]

the pain and suffering

[torn laurel]

now i sell the egg

[lost vault]

8 lucky cards triggers
1 mult hit
2 money hits
how???

[deft sandal]

wouldn't even wish that on my worst enemy

[lost vault]

i couldve wom i just needed more mult hits

empress wouldve been better lowk

ir maybe

odd todd

but im an iddiot

[silent quiver]

1 money hit is around the expected amount for 8 triggers i fear

[turbid jay]

do you just skip if its eternal & rental?

[wintry ice]

you could have also played 3 more cards to draw mofe stuff

[wintry ice]

depends on the joker

[lost vault]

1 in 15

[wintry ice]

if it's a strong econ joker like rocket, midas, cloud 9 or rebate i take it

maybe even parking if we dare

[silent quiver]

I meant mult im stupid sorry

[turbid jay]

theyre realy bad, crafty joker & walkie talkie, so i just tank the $4 lost?

[wintry ice]

they're both eternal rental?

[serene forge]

I love Riff Raff

[turbid jay]

walkie is rental, crafty is eternal

[wintry ice]

just take crafty

[lost vault]

2 hits is probable though

[silent quiver]

Eh technically yea

[turbid jay]

really? should i build into a straight build or just kinda keep it as a -1 joker slot later on

[silent quiver]

Mostly just shoulda kept todd and run was set

[wintry ice]

you could also take walkie and sell it but that's somewhat more risky

[serene forge]

wait and see

[wintry ice]

no, the page 1 jokers are for earlygame survival

[silent quiver]

It happens tho js go again soldier 🫡🫡

[serene forge]

crafty is safety for early game

[wintry ice]

what deck are you on

[serene forge]

sometimes its necessary to take a bad eternal early to stay alive

[turbid jay]

im progressing red first

[serene forge]

keeping rental walkie for more than 1 round probably kills you

[deft sandal]

every jokers in page 1 except Jimbo. Jimbo is a lucky charm you carry through the run

[glad viper]

fuck jumbo, he makes fun of me when i lose

[marsh goblet]

I TOOK NEGATIVE SKIP AND IT LANDED ON BRAINSTORM YEEEAAAH

[wintry ice]

i like jimbo, he makes fun of people when they lose

[lost vault]

natural gay blue joker

[wintry ice]

allegedly blue joker

[lost vault]

(the half joker was gay spelled)

[deft sandal]

sitting thru these triggers is pain

[turbid jay]

also sorry to ask but just wondering, if i have no good cards on first small blind do i go for the joker pack or save until next shop and just look for jokers there?

[wintry ice]

take the buffoon pack

isn't that the question we answered

[turbid jay]

ok yeah, idk i just thought i could do 450 without a joker

[torn laurel]

yorick mvp

ignore the photochad

[marsh goblet]

chat do i reroll this? pair is level 10, square joker is at 200 chips, red card is at 33 mult

[tranquil steppe]

Finally got gold stickers on banner and freaking flower pot

[wintry ice]

you can but it's easier with scoring

[deft sandal]

yorick the MVP, meanwhile the brainstorm copying photo

[sinful estuary]

What's the opinion on hack? I've been offered it a couple of times early game and it feels pretty weak without any support. Is it 1 of those jokers you get after already having synergy or do yall pick it up even in the first couple of shops as an inital joker?

[tranquil steppe]

Yorick is the GOAT

[torn laurel]

i dont see no brainstorm copying photo

[tranquil steppe]

Hack is trash with some exceptions like Wee

[visual crag]

Quick question, I'm pretty new to balatro. I've only had success using flush builds. What else is fun and worth trying

[tranquil steppe]

Everything besides straight flushes or full house

[marsh goblet]

NOOOOO I FORGOT TO ORDER THE BRAINSTORM CORRECTLY

[deft sandal]

yorick is just as good as ChiGoat

[marsh goblet]

4k chips off...

don't fucking laughing emoji me im going to boil you alive

[tranquil steppe]

We have to laugh in unison while in misery

It’s the only way

[wintry ice]

it's like every other retrigger joker

it's mostly for utility

[marsh goblet]

sorry im just very angry at myself

[haughty carbon]

loser!!!!!

[tranquil steppe]

I’ve done that same thing several times. It happens and sucks

[marsh goblet]

that would have been like, 3 gold stickers...

[torn laurel]

1 milli copying yorick with a pair of 8s

yorick mvp 🔥

[deft sandal]

rick: yo

[marsh goblet]

hell yeah

[tranquil steppe]

My hologram is at 10x so far. Trying to see how high I can get that boiiiiii

[silent quiver]

Balatro but every once in awhile i take a bite of my banana bread

[deft sandal]

with this econ, ante 29 might be the max I can do

[paper holly]

Gros Michele bread...

[wintry ice]

cavendish bread...

[silent quiver]

I love my cavendish bread

[deft sandal]

all voucher cleared, beautiful

[silent quiver]

My last voucher for this save file is illusion and im probably not gonna get it for awhile

[torn laurel]

even if you had money the build its doomed to die in ante 32

[deft sandal]

lmao, game crashed

[deft sandal]

guess this is the funniest way to die

i can't even die to see the seed

[torn laurel]

plant hardest boss in the game fr

[deft sandal]

frfr

[strange compass]

Play only one type of hand

[marsh goblet]

chat is it too late for a vagabond or do i pivot?

[tawdry rock]

i love jimbo

[marsh vine]

how do blueprint/brainstorm interact with stencil?
do they copy just the mult, or even the ability, where they don't decrease the mult?

is brainstorm + stencil gonna be x5 x5 or x4 x4

[ivory portal]

I'm rich guy

[strange compass]

Stencil joker counts itself

[marsh vine]

yes
but would a Blueprint/Brainstorm that copies Stencil do that too

[lost vault]

locked in after that chad run

[strange compass]

Probably?

[lost vault]

love campfire

[strange compass]

Did Stencil get nerfed btw?

[radiant geyser]

wee

[lost vault]

noh

[strange compass]

I remember stencil not counting itself

[pale sluice]

It always has

I think

[strange compass]

@lost vault

[lost vault]

?

blueprint isnt a stencil,

[marsh vine]

is blueprint + stencil gonna be x5 x5 or x4 x4

[lost vault]

x4

[summer citrus]

does anyone mind watching a run of mine so i can get help

[marsh vine]

thanks

[lost vault]

two stencils will be 5X

[torn laurel]

i mean you could post screenshots

[lost vault]

but a blueprint isnt counted by stencil as an empty slot

[strange compass]

What type of run are you doing

Stakes or just normal

[summer citrus]

im doign something wrong but idk how to change it

[strange compass]

You can post screenshots

[summer citrus]

i believe normal

[lost vault]

idk about watch hut i could try and help

[marsh vine]

ok
I was thinking, part of stencil's ability is that it counts itself as empty spot; so in theory blueprint could copy that part too

[summer citrus]

so i try to obviously choose for the ace and build around it but like i swear i cant calculate the jokers and whatnot to help my run

[torn laurel]

if you post a screenshot people might be able to help you here

[lost vault]

no, it doesnt
blueprint doesnt copy passive effects, ie juggler, drunkard, merry andy, stuntman's downside

[strange compass]

Ace?

[safe ibex]

the game just gave me four soul cards in five runs

[strange compass]

Ace isn't the best thing to build you runs on

[summer citrus]

what should i go for

[safe ibex]

it was really like "dude PLEASE just gold stake it i know you have it in you"

textbook gold stake 🔥

[tawdry rock]

what's the best non face card to build your deck on

[strange compass]

Try building your run around the jokers you get

[summer citrus]

word

[lost vault]

i need to shave soon or i will die

[safe ibex]

whatever the jokers want you to

[tawdry rock]

sentence of all time

[summer citrus]

what if i do that then better jokers come out

[strange compass]

Face cards (King,Queen,Joker) are beginner friendly I think

[lost vault]

twink death is real

:(

[safe ibex]

2 3 4 and 5 bc of hack
8s bc of 8-ball
9s bc of cloud 9
aces bc they're highest chips
etc etc

[strange compass]

You can play two pairs, straights, 3 or 4 of a kinds

[tawdry rock]

yeah yeah i know i meant if you had the jokers for it, whats the best number card to build on based on joker availability and all that

[summer citrus]

okay word i usually go for 3 of a kinds ngl

[lost vault]

here, win

[strange compass]

I think 4

If you want scores

[tranquil steppe]

We have 1s?

[summer citrus]

i got smeared joker in the first so i should go for flushes

[strange compass]

@tawdry rock Actually no 2 is the best

[summer citrus]

correct

[torn laurel]

you want to go for hands like pair 2 pairs

[safe ibex]

i forgor

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

[summer citrus]

wordle

[safe ibex]

200 hours in this game and i forgot we dont have 1s

[strange compass]

You can play flushes with it

So yes

[tranquil steppe]

Aces are kindaaaa 1s when you use them as a low part for a straight

[tawdry rock]

i love wee

[safe ibex]

yea but i was talking about hack

[marsh vine]

we have a serious problem

[strange compass]

@summer citrus you can watch Balatro University on YouTube for some beginner tips

[tranquil steppe]

Oh yea hack is 2,3,4,5

[strange compass]

2 is so strong

[cedar orbit]

first gold stake win let's gooo

[summer citrus]

i hat easking ms questions

[strange compass]

Wee+Fibonacci+Hack

[tranquil steppe]

Congrats!!!!

[tranquil steppe]

+dusk

[summer citrus]

so the ancient joker will it count the multiplier if i the other joker has diamond and hearts

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

[summer citrus]

and it says only diamonds count will it count if i play hearts

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

Smeared is basically making your cards half wild

[strange compass]

Dusk?

[tranquil steppe]

Dusk is a fun boiiii

[strange compass]

You mean the one that triggers everything at the last round

[summer citrus]

dusk like brawlhalla legend

[safe ibex]

WOOOO congrats!!

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

Dusk is under appreciated

[safe ibex]

dusk is appreciated perfectly fine tbh

[tranquil steppe]

Fair maybe. I just never see people talk about it

[safe ibex]

not much to talk about

[serene forge]

ok bro

[marsh vine]

that's 3 more unique gold stickers

[safe ibex]

which isnt a bad thing, it's a "boring" joker but you know, those can be useful

[serene forge]

runner is only at 60 i can sack it

dunno if this helps but sure ig

[marsh goblet]

just got gold sticker on invis joker, gros michel, and supernova in the same run :3

[serene forge]

ok yea it helps

[safe ibex]

One left

we're getting somewhere

[marsh goblet]

nice

[safe ibex]

have i mentioned how i got trib gold staked during a wee joker run
that was really funny

like "oo a soul! hope it's perkeo or canio" and then He shows up when i have like 3 face cards

[hard mantle]

do i beat orange stake today or do i put myself on the right side of a ceremonial dagger

[last path]

anaglyph deck moment be like.

[summer citrus]

how do i ss on pc again

im so slow

[hard mantle]

ETERNAL JIMBO

[royal bobcat]

I use win shift prnt scrn

[royal bobcat]

You got a friend for life there

[marsh goblet]

i use win shift s

lets me crop the screenshot

[hard mantle]

uuf,,, i like both of these cards a lot

[lost vault]

are we fucking serious

[marsh goblet]

rip...

[hard mantle]

im goin scholar

[summer citrus]

i did it and it like didnt work i feel stupid lmaooo

[lost vault]

this game has a twisted sense of humor

[hard mantle]

mmmm....

full house ace run maybe?

nah im just skipping this shop, need the interest

[marsh goblet]

yeah interest over full house levels

[summer citrus]

What do I go for here

[lost vault]

humm

[heady narwhal]

blue joker

[lost vault]

yeah

the bloker

[hard mantle]

i am playing a lot of full houses tho lol

[lost vault]

dna doesnt bode well with john ancient

[heady narwhal]

dna is foil and more sell value i guess but i wouldn't want to actually use its effect

[marsh vine]

turn 30° clockwise

[tawdry rock]

personally dna is shiny and has red in its rarity so obviously as an expert professional balatroer i'm picking it

[hard mantle]

dammit

got greedy </3

[summer citrus]

im just gonna pick it ig idk

[hard mantle]

lost

[tawdry rock]

you should go for blue joker

[serene forge]

weakest glass joker run

[hard mantle]

i almost want to take vampire, but ive never had luck with vampire

mmm..... im just gonna let my interest build a bit. i got plenty of score

[vocal rose]

this is nearly an easy take

but you aren’t showing more context

[hard mantle]

FUCK

I WISH I TOOK IT NOW

[vocal rose]

yeah

saw that coming from

a million years away

[hard mantle]

should i take midas anyway?

[vocal rose]

can you show MORE context

please

[hard mantle]

wrong

[vocal rose]

ok

[hard mantle]

screenshot

[vocal rose]

i see

yes

you take

[leaden coral]

crazy negative hit

[hard mantle]

coolio

[vocal rose]

should’ve taken the vampire before but I didn’t know your money/ante

[hard mantle]

yeah...

[vocal rose]

such a good time to take it

so when you get scaling jokers

you want to take them as early as possible typically

[hard mantle]

theres a scholar but its eternal and i dont think im doing an ace build

[vocal rose]

you still probably have the run in the bag with midas mask crazy econ and blueprint but

colossal mistake there

[torpid bridge]

I normally also wouldn't take vampire

[hard mantle]

gaming

[torpid bridge]

Eternal vampire to be exact

Unless i have a midas

Or very good econ

[vocal rose]

I dont think that changes the decision that much

[torpid bridge]

Or vagabond

[vocal rose]

vampire is an extremely good joker

[leaden coral]

first shop

[vocal rose]

and is efficient enough with JUST interest cap

[torpid bridge]

At least i can sell it afterwards

[torpid bridge]

No

Vampire is like

[vocal rose]

why would you want to sell out of a scaled joker?

later on

[torpid bridge]

The worst x mult scaling joker

[vocal rose]

that’s entirely the reason why you’d keep it

[hard mantle]

think ive already whiffed this run tbh but

ill keep going

[torpid bridge]

Cuz its not a guarantee to scale that one or scale very slowly

What if i roll for the next shop and i see hologram

[vocal rose]

it really doesn’t scale that slow at all

[torpid bridge]

Or constellation

[vocal rose]

if you’re hitting at the minimum interest cap

[vocal rose]

yes but you don’t have 20/20 hindsight

and that’s just a bad way to play

you don’t pass up a hologram because “what if I get canio/uorick”

it’s the same logic

[distant thunder]

EXTRA 2 LEVELS 🗣️

[torpid bridge]

I mean like

[hard mantle]

pain

[torpid bridge]

Vampire is dispointingly slow to me

Unless i have some good econ to guarantee

[vocal rose]

throwback, stencil, htr

[torpid bridge]

Or i simply just find 2 xmult joker

[torpid bridge]

I dont take them either

Unless im in dire need

To defend the blind

[vocal rose]

but you said vampire was the worst scaling x mult

those 3 are worse

[torpid bridge]

Yeah its was wrong on my part

But still

[weak relic]

I made htr work in erratic but thats it ig

[vocal rose]

htr is

probably better

[torpid bridge]

Doesnt change the fact that vampire scales so slowly

[safe ibex]

i dont even know anymore

thats 5 in 6 runs

how the fuck

[safe ibex]

wrong

[torpid bridge]

And I dont want to erase lucky or glass

[safe ibex]

dont know the context here but vampire is incredible

[weak relic]

How much is that flash card

[safe ibex]

2

im killing it

[lost vault]

what am i doing bruh

[hard mantle]

thoughts on the eternal pareidolia?

[lost vault]

family was from a rare tag btw

:3

[torpid bridge]

Dont take it

[hard mantle]

fair

[torpid bridge]

Worse than vampire even

[tawdry rock]

aw man

[safe ibex]

i think copying mercuries is the play here

[swift lodge]

do i sell brainstorm for DNA? I don't have blank ..

[weak relic]

I only made it work with midas

Thats it

[tawdry rock]

dont even ask why i have popcorn there were no better jokers

[safe ibex]

ive made it work all the time
You just need good econ

[swift lodge]

aiming for naneinf but im running out of time with current setup

[torpid bridge]

If its the only thing i can get i would get it to

But vampire is just so annoying to play

I want to save the glass and lucky

[leaden coral]

first shop again????

[marsh vine]

stencil broke my 6h~ of attempts trying to get gold stake on red deck

it might just be my new favourite joker

[torpid bridge]

Having bp in the first shop means having no jokers at all

[ivory portal]

How do I make idol work

[torpid bridge]

Death

[ivory portal]

Okay ty

[torpid bridge]

Deja vu

And cryptid

[azure ginkgo]

I just sold an invisible joker to copy a big dagger, forgot that daggers can eat daggers, and immediately ate it. fml

[torpid bridge]

And ouija

But ouija minuses your hand size

[lost vault]

one of the stevens became homosexual

[hard mantle]

so this is just an insta take yea?

[safe ibex]

NOOOO

MY PERKEO

its fine i'll get him next run

he cant avoid being gold staked for much longer

im coming for him

[azure ginkgo]

campfires a bit tough. it can be one of the best jokers but requires a pretty big stream of income to keep going

[ancient gyro]

context hat

[hard mantle]

LETS GO

[azure ginkgo]

wooooo nice

that's a wild joker setup lmao

[ancient gyro]

inconvenient score timing

[hard mantle]

FUCK

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[marsh vine]

MAN

[leaden coral]

...

[quartz ember]

ccitpp

[hard mantle]

it's beautiful

[marsh vine]

5*5*5*3 = 375
this game is fun when you're not doing gold stake

[lost vault]

this mightve been the worst finisher for this build

please do not Fuck me bell 🙏 📿

[azure ginkgo]

eh if your decks largely fixed u should be fine

i have faith

[lost vault]

not a good start

[marsh vine]

can you get 0 handsize or is there a bottom limit of 1

[lost vault]

always have faith in the triple steven strats

[lost vault]

you can go into the negatives

[marsh vine]

huh, interesting

[lost vault]

it wasnt tbh

look at this disaster of a deck

[azure ginkgo]

okay im shocked you won that 😭

[stark kettle]

Quick clarification question does a pair count a high card just lost a crazy run because of the ox 🙁

[azure ginkgo]

no it doesnt

[lost vault]

handsize and a few prayers

[quartz ember]

no

a pair is a pair

[stark kettle]

That’s odd it set me to zero and counted as a 0 score as well

[azure ginkgo]

Ox doesn't make hands count as 0

[lost vault]

oh ueah i forgot to mention

the family from that run was from a a rare tag

always gamble folks

[quartz ember]

are you playing some multiboss mod

[stark kettle]

What’s going on here then I’m super confused I just played another pair and I got 0 for my chips

No I’m on mobile I don’t have any mods

[lost vault]

its probably because the the challenge you're doing

[swift lodge]

threw the naneinf through greed

[lost vault]

chips cant surpass money

[ancient gyro]

gee I wonder what the rules of that challenge says

[marsh goblet]

got chicot and egg gold stickered :3

[stark kettle]

Ahhh I see that’s probably it welp that’s unfortunate lol

[unborn cliff]

wow endless with 0* jokers!

[stark kettle]

Must have misclicked the first one and done a high card

[lost vault]

why does it aay 5/5

[unborn cliff]

dont worry about it

[hard mantle]

god im doing. so badly

having a severe skill issue

[ancient gyro]

context always helps 😀

[soft pendant]

I played the bull and kept getting my money up

[hard mantle]

the context is that im having a skill issue

[ancient gyro]

and a cropping issue

[hard mantle]

smelly

[limber loom]

stinky

[pallid ferry]

hi spongebob

[marsh vine]

no more ectoplasm

[lost vault]

youll be fine

[pallid ferry]

roffle would be so proud 🥹

[limber loom]

nope 🥲

[lost vault]

you dint need to score cards to win gng

you have lucky cat

[soft pendant]

Insane roster, whats the stencil at, X4?

[unborn cliff]

your cards dont matter

[lost vault]

7

[unborn cliff]

-1 round of cat scaling

[unborn cliff]

6 or 7

😂😂😂

[lost vault]

kills you

cutely

uwu

[pallid ferry]

[unborn cliff]

you cant do taht

[marsh vine]

7x as of that screenhot

[lost vault]

yes i can

:3

[unborn cliff]

i didnt consent

thumbs down

[lost vault]

fick

too bad

[unborn cliff]

[limber loom]

i get 5k per hand, like all my scoring was from card abilities

[unborn cliff]

me when i dont level up my hands

[lost vault]

level up your damn hands dude

[soft pendant]

You must sell pareidolia

[limber loom]

lvl 7 two pair btw

[unborn cliff]

were you seriously relying on lucky card procs for mult

folk 😭😭😭😭

[lost vault]

true

daughter 😭

[limber loom]

i had 3 glass foils lol

[lost vault]

you do not need glass in ante 5

ir should not

also genuinely

what did this build gain from being a face card build

[marsh vine]

this was a fun ride
P69B8VR4

[lost vault]

cuz to me it looks like an arbitrary choice made cuz theyre "the best rank"

if u have any glass that isnt a face card just sell pareidolia

[limber loom]

when i trim the deck i get rid of low scoring cards, and i also dupe my good cards, so it just turns out that way ig

[limber loom]

i didnt unfortunately, i should look at boss blinds more

[lost vault]

ok but u know relying on face cards risks death to plant

[limber loom]

bruh i forgot about it tho😭

[ancient gyro]

ppl just happened to forget about the most overreacted boss blind in the game

[lost vault]

the last time i died to plant (in a nonendless run) was in a STM run

it was fairly early in the run

[pallid ferry]

banana coming in clutch again

[lost vault]

clutch? this run looks very much won

:3

still nice tho

[pallid ferry]

it is i just like big number when it goes even bigger

[lost vault]

i always try to get very big scores on the last blind if i can

for example

[lyric shore]

if i know im winning i fullskip

[lost vault]

i onky do that if im using glass for scoring

[pallid ferry]

ok actually i needed it the boss blind is violent vessel

[lost vault]

insane that 3 xmukt jokers isnt enough fur that

well 2 and a half

(grimbo)

[spark canyon]

cute run, boot and negative bull

[limber loom]

what do ppl think abt red card, i dont see how its good personally

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

one of the best jonklers in teh game

[serene forge]

+6 scaling mult per round is quite good

[serene forge]

lesson learned?

[hard mantle]

that one demoralized me

im done for now

[limber loom]

ur econ just dies tho

[serene forge]

nope

red card rewards you for doing something you should probably be doing already

if your econ is bad to the point where you can't open packs then you've probably already completely lost

[brave goblet]

Daggering

[serene forge]

bbc

[vocal rose]

one of the best jokers

[brave goblet]

love it, unless I'm broke, in which case I have way bigger issues

[drowsy zenith]

What are you doing if someone asks for your seed irl 😭

[serene forge]

that depends

[brave goblet]

tell 'em if they want it, they better show it

[drowsy zenith]

for balatro ofc

Guys do we have a meowl joker mod

Ya know some motzarella some gabagool some some chicken parm

[strange compass]

Double Yorick?

[languid heron]

How much is it

[strange compass]

It's at 7x rn

[languid heron]

Yes

[strange compass]

It will become 8x next round

I also have high levels on 4 OAKs and Full House

My first Legendary

[barren wigeon]

Red Card is an amazing joker and probably the best scaling mult, due to it having the highest number it scales by, being 3, and having the potential to have 6 mult per round maximum, which is amazing value, or 3 mult, which is still barely below using all 4 hands with the big 3 of scaling mult jokers.

[uneven laurel]

I do this weird thing, where I see oopse, and I have to buy them... I don't know why

Probably my highest buy % joker

[torpid bridge]

Question: Do you trade a hermit or temperance for +3 mult when u have them at maxed value

I personally dont

But i know someone will do

[limber loom]

would there be a scenario where u dont skip smth like a card pack

[torpid bridge]

Planet is a must take

[serene forge]

doomed

[torpid bridge]

Arcana cards hermit and temperance at high value is also a must take

At least to me

[serene forge]

nah

[barren wigeon]

Yes, but when you get your joker slots filled, you skip much more, and especially when you find the hand you want to play, you stop taking planet cards that you dont want for fool value

[serene forge]

planets only worth if you need the chips

which doesn't always happen

[torpid bridge]

And in booster pack if i see purple or blud seal i would also take

Maybe im fomo

[limber loom]

ay lowkey i might change my mind about red card

[serene forge]

i agree

at least with the blue seal

[lost vault]

i just did a really silly play
buffoon pack, faceless, credit card, hex, ankh, paintbrush

[serene forge]

$20 hermit i always take

[lost vault]

very worth

[serene forge]

temperance is unlikely to be as high as that so i'm more likely to consider skipping

[atomic trout]

Who's this Jokermón?

[torpid bridge]

Chicot

[strange compass]

YORICK TIMES 10!!!!!!!!

[humble bone]

is it possible to prove i own the game and get the mobile version also?

[weak relic]

Gold stake jimbo is real

[high barn]

would you sell wee joker for the smeared joker (one more uncommon joker for my venezuelan)?

[torpid bridge]

I personally dont do that

Wee is more than 1.5x

[high barn]

ok thanks for the insight

[wintry ice]

it depends on if you live afterwards

[strange compass]

Wee is carrying your score rn

[chilly lantern]

should i take it?

also is 3 Barons too much, should i sell one for some other joker (which one?)

[floral widget]

3 barons seems valid

[lost vault]

how its going btw

[chilly lantern]

great, my jaw was agape when i got two from the other invincible jokers

[lost vault]

oh no! not the plant

[floral widget]

I tried doing a pants only run once

[chilly lantern]

that’s a choice

[calm furnace]

splash apology form

[floral widget]

I still get nightmares

[calm furnace]

splash gotta be the joker i slept on the most so far in my balatro career

early perishable splash allowed me to run pairs with groker early game

and late game i found another splash that made me scale vampire easily without having to discard

[chilly lantern]

valid, it’s not op but i sometimes feel sad without it, it’s so nice before ante 8 with lots of enhancement cards

[floral widget]

Imma dissappear and troll kids with ed from ed edd and eddy on fort

[calm furnace]

adding +30~ chips to any pair is a nice ealry game chips like chad

first time i use splash with vampire and its great

stone cards still better than splash but its not guaranteed to draw your stone

but splash hand is always guaranteed

[tepid skiff]

better than photochad!?

[calm furnace]

yes

[vocal rose]

I don’t see the synergy

[limber loom]

worst mega spectral pack in the history of ever

[vocal rose]

you can do this with green joker alone

[wooden sluice]

splash gives the few chips to let you scale groker easily without needing to discard for high level hands

[lost vault]

i think im cooked guys!!

pray for me

[wooden sluice]

this is true though on most decks (a bit dubious on black)

[atomic trout]

Awesome... It Ecto-spashes on Banana

[lost vault]

yay $400 dollar achievement

[wooden sluice]

that happened to me once and i just started full skipping in hopes of preserving banana (i hadnt gold stickered it yet) (it actually worked lol)

[lost vault]

8.75X gato

[wooden sluice]

good job

[lost vault]

yay

[woven spire]

hallo chat

[junior horizon]

TIL legendary jokers can come in the shop????????

[limber loom]

wow

[slow iris]

they can't

[limber loom]

i could go for double negative riff raff

[azure ginkgo]

nope

[lost vault]

invis aint even that good here

[lost vault]

only in modded
