yep i know
im not a huge fan of obelisk either but it is very strong in the right circumstance
Yeah so unfortunately rolling for arcana skips is the only way
I never knew getting C++ inverts the red and blue in the main menu screen for mobile version
+0.2x mult per hand played is absurdly powerful
thats like faster scaling than yorick
I didn’t say best I said my favorite
Oh hey I just noticed that too
I don't remember its name but a joker gives you mult x0.1 for every planet you use
Obelisk just won me my last game for C++ so I can’t hate, it’s just a joker that forces you to play slower and more carefully
Constellation
I get why people hate it
Eh its also cuz it always shows up
Obelisk won me black deck gold stake but it can be annoying at times
Welp, here goes
New jokers aside, I hope the 1.1 update also includes new challenges and/or gamemode.
sell it for hermit value
GL!
people will hate any joker that has the word "reset" in the description and then overrate jokers that reset every hand (bloodstone, triboulet, etc etc)
15 more stakes
More tarot cards and boss blinds would be cool
Platinum Stake, it’s just permanent golden needle
horse (tarot card)
does nothing
juan
Ahh poverty card
old ass reference
Da Homeless boi
New skip tags, vouchers and packs would also be cool
make skipping not fucking horrible
even more dilution so the investment tag cant show up? 🔥
basically making skipping even worse
I have to apologize to Pairs, I didn’t know your game until I started C++ gold stake grind
erm... negative skip
Turns into evil and intimidating horse if 2 female jokerd are next to eachother
🐴
Juan
chud (joker) (common)
lowkey homophobic for some reason
And Doc is right Blue Seal is super strong
That being said pls don’t nerf it lol
#IbelieveinJUAN
Crazy how hard a single blue seal can carry you
only reasonable blue seal nerf is bringing back old blue seals
I need bigger hands to be less brainless than pair
and even then it will absolutely blow it into the ground fr
please buff flush's chip scaling
I hope more seals are added
Hell no
Though I couldn’t think of any interesting idea
15 chips
Old blue seal was too weak
15/2 -> 25/2
How many times did you finshed balatro ?
truke
Nope, flushes are too easy to get buffing them would not be balanced now would it
I am going to score infinity now and then rest until the update
flush buffs? No!!! The game is well designed as is!!! IN FACT, NERF FLUSHES AGAIN!!! ITS TOTALLY WARRANTED
straight scaling in question
Seance needs a fucking buff
It already got one
(Cripples and takes another half of Bloodstone's X mult)
30 chips 3 mult
It used to be rare
come on man
Somehow buffing the stronger/larger hands would be cool
Remove another mult from agate
uncommon is highkey the biggest nerf it's ever received
Buff and give smarter jokers
TOTALLY WARRANTED BTW CLUBS WERE TOO STRONG
Its so shite though
!!!
Even though I have completed C++ I cannot erase the shame of my stats showing Jupiter and PhotoChad as the most played cards from my earlier days 🥀
make scholar smarter
We need some more tech for big hands
(obviously sarcasm)
I know, even for strush builds, a huge chunk of spectrals are actively working against strushes
Make the common +mult suit jokers +2 instead
So they match with droll joker
New card modifiers would be nice
NOW YOURE TALKING IN TRUE GOOD GAME DESIGN FASHION!
some guy on reddit gon be like "erm but we need more retriggers"
buff seltzer to never perish
People need to design fan jokers around winning ante 8 and not just “win more” button
b-but what about endless!?!?!?!
discard retrigger would go hard tbf
deathrattle ahhh joker
ANOTHER BUFF TO REBATE
I mean I could see localthunk making a legendary joker that has a 1/10 chance to return a food joker back into its starting point every round played
now i can lose 2 mult on grimbo at the same time!!
Or a rare at least
gives x1000 mult if hand is a straight flush consisting of the 7 of diamonds through the 3 of diamonds and you have exactly 43 dollars
glass red seal ace
More naneinf strats would unironically be cool and good
make it be a carbon copy of castle but it gives 5 dollars instead of 2 chips
1.95x food
lv3 2pair
No deck changes
What do we think peoples
Driver License now gives x100 mult but it opens up face scan age verification
buff baron to make it not horrible in ante 8 runs
Watch localthunk up the requirement for naninf
Pls just wait until I score naneinf
well that’s not gonna happen
It getting upped or tarv getting naneinf?
localthunk should consider my idea here #🎙・server-chat message
also the only current strat that you can reasonably do on a random seed is getting gutted
naneinf getting upped
Also tarv getting naneinf 😵💫
make the collection reset every week like in Rust
good win
I used to think burnt joker was bad when I first started playing then I learned how fucking awesome it is
i didnt want to use photochad but i was already fixing to it
gg
burnt joker top tier
and i found photo ante 7
ong!!!
why would you not want to use photochad
that is a heinous thought
fear of the plant
Its like not opening a buffoon pack for the credit card
in this game though i had no problem
The almighty chigoat and luchador:
you dont lose to plant with photochad
just find luchador since you can spawn jokers whenever you want in this game
kid named Justice
No no, you can only spawn jokers you dont want whenever you want
if i depend on photo as xmult yeah i do
thats fair it makes sense
god i REALLY don't want a yorick right now
use glass cards on 10s or aces
do it on 5s so that you can pivot to the hack + pareidolia + sock build, obviously
so free win fr fr
god i am stressed out of my fucking mind right now
bro my hologram hit 14x today
🔥
its a goated xmult
it popped off because i had dna bp
what jokers should i try to get i feel like i im struggling ngl
i just shat myself because i saw the wall in ante 8
but then wheel of fortune turned my pants polychrome
as long as i dont run into violet vessel i think i win
W
love the mysterious squished card
GG roy
Squished card?
the 9 of hearts
nvm im scoring 300k per hand ill be fine if vv shows up
skibalatro
true
It is done
gg
Is polychrome pant resistance to shit?
All that remains is one more run to register the achievement
good question
uhhhhh i'm kinda biased towards golden joker but foil abstract is a better pick here
how much is wee at
plasma deck night >
+300 or smth
But foil....
i dont like abstract much
i know its the better pick but i dont like using an eternal one
it's chips and decent mult
you wouldnt really drop it for much anyway
i would drop it any day for a scaling mult
It's kinda free mult early game fell off late. It is only natural you hesitate taking eternal
exactly what im tryna say yeah
it feels pretty rough to go past 15
the foil changes it up here
If the goal is 8 it should be fine
id take an eternal sly joker at this stage
the +mult makes it even more of a free take
idek what sly joker does
+50 chips if the poker hand contains a pair
abstract foil is fire
jolly joker
pairs and two pairs are like the only hands i use on gs
cause i wanna win <3
also sometimes straights are fun
some situations call for other hands
temporarily
i dont use highcard much
i want to have a run with straights im sure it would be fun
with runner or smt
True deck fixing is a bit annoying tho
I don't trust the people who say they play for fun
runner sucks with straights
I think real funmaxxers aren't that loud about it
straights dont really need more chips
AT LEAST when people say they play to win they are honest and are probably having fun in their own way.
shortcut is always good
and do you eventually switch to straight flush?
nah almost never
If you don't play for fun why else would you play the game....
im thinking abt the wrong card
nope
Yea I play for hatred
i usually only do one or the other never both
scaling mult works, grimbo is tough cause discards are better used with straights
but usually you'll one shot anywya
balatro!
Its planet scales are kinda ass but can you resist the urge to play one card and one shot the blind?
yeah i imagine
but yeah i love when straight builds are possible
and straight scaling is so nice
like getting a saturn shop one im taking a lot of the time
pants too
people don’t realize both are pair jokers
yeah
My first ever run of this game is straight built what is your?
I think we're done for the day
trousers can work with two pair and stuff
and helps scale with obelisk and stuff which is nice
runner is more often than not a two pair joker
i suck at scaling spare trousers
unless I’ve found zero source of chips I’m pivoting into pairs
yeah it is pretty nice to do so
Me too. Helps out when the shop doesn't give me a good early game joker
upgrading uranus gives less opportunity to scale pants itself
yeah saturn level 2 allows you to one shot a few blinds which is nice
yeah exactly
i think thats my main problem
i guess ill try this out later then
Chat, vote for the best color coordination.
bbc before vampire
blackboard card
2
The most speculative Glass Joker of all time
I vote to remove democracy
nvm
Man we need more challenge
All Jokers are perishable
1 card deck with no way of obtaining a card , maybe given popcorn at the stadt
btw is superposition ever worth or nah
What does it even do reward high straight?
its tarot gen im usually taking it even if im not palying straights
and low straights
yes
if hand has ace and straight create tarot
Can you use ace,2,3,4,5 to make straight?
and*
Do we ever have that in poker?
wow okay
I don't play poker much
yeah bc ace counts as a 1 and 11
yes
bampire op
I feel like if you win a stake it should win that stake on all of your decks
I mean, you unlock the stakes on all of your decks but don't get the stickers unless you win with the decks
how much value is the grimbo getting
i couldnt disagree more 💔
then what’s the point
different decks offer different challenges
50 something
yeah lemme go from gold stake on yellow deck to gold stake on black deck rq
lol fr
because I can't be bothered to play all of my decks just to get a challenge, if I wanna play abandoned deck I have to play white stake all the way up to my current one which is just a bit tedious
then dont do it
easy
but like
god i love ancient joker
unlock all
but then i dont get achievements 😭
first shop rental eternal pickup absolute worth
was it really worth it? you were going for full xmult that run
oh my god
we got min maxing GOD in this chat
i mean there are mods to unlock everything with achievement s
but that ain’t fun
I'll just play all my decks
Ancient goatker
You dump your mult as soon as you get a lot of xmult? It really depends how high your hand level is.
also rocket so good you can take 3 rentals and feel nothign
If my pair level had 20 mult then maybe.
rocket is my favorite econ joker for that reason
i meant moreso because if I win next stake on a bad deck with luck, then I have to redo that stake to play the next one on a good deck
Mmm seed money so good, you can take 2 rentals and not feel it
Brainstorm would trigger before it if you are copying xmult
you brainstormed your vampire instead of grimbo so it looked like you had your planet mult in a good spot
Depends on nothin and scales consistently
got unseeded naneinf today
this is my third one this week
mine is cloud 9 because its good anytime, rocket kinda falls off if a late pickup
Are they trying to say I should have copied Grimbo because of brainstorm or that Grimbo didn't matter
cloud 9 is just golden joker most of the time
please delete this message
its 1$ more expensive and can be scaled easily
goat 9 is one of the best econ jokers
Anyway I've heard that before and I always forget the exact numbers so I just switch stuff around, sometimes the multer scores more and sometimes xmult will score more on brainstorm
INVISIBLE joker on the SERPENT BIG BOSS blind is a pretty SOLID setup if you ask me
you should be prempitvely making more 9s if you get no better tarots because cloud 9 is goated
cloud 9 is fun
he gets it
holy bro 🙏
Potentially, point is if you could just rely on planets then you get your brainstorm to not do xmult before +mult
-get cloud 9
-no deaths
egg is my favorite econ joker because it's an egg
guess you cant even say my name
for gold stake aces 9s and jacks are the best ranks
Strength :)
no 8 in pack hand
😴
all hail divine egg
queens too ngl
and any hack card could be useful
Also C9 mentioned
yeah STM is good
i mean w win but do we count it as a win if it’s seeded
yeah feb hack cards are also good
Yea but but it was a seed that I found so
So
fair ig
Shi does it not count or smin
no
Seeded runs dont count
now that i have c++ i dunno what i'll do next
Gold streak
i'd rather stop playing entirely than try that
There is a built in streak counter in the game
naninf?
too luck dependent
usually ante 39, naneinf, or get a gold streak
😴
then uhhhh
try play on black deck without going insane
jokerless or something
done all challenges already
Yeah do jokerless
there’s literally nothing else aside from playing the game bro 😭
play for fun ig
I just alternate decks on gold stake when I play, and try to do pair/hc less often
ante 39 is the last thing aside naneinf
jokerless normally not challenge jokerless
that most shoot for
Most vocal "I play for fun" players when they actually have to play the game for fun
💀
uh no thanks
Jokerless black deck gold stake
how is naneinf not able to beat nan tho?
elaborate
we are not doc bro, i can't even do this WITH jokers
ante 39 is the last thing but if you don’t wanna do that there’s nothing else bro
Yup
not a number
It’s not a real number
yeah he gets it
If I don’t have fun I won’t be playing
Paradoxical
I can't beat black deck on WHITE stake 😭
you either run a very specific build or run another very specific build
WITH hokers
i honestly play this game more for satisfaction
No
what
Run saved
why
Wrong
Idk
It will always be fun getting a certain run working tbh
chicot
Like getting glass joker off (cough)
Got a canio
Canio*
i personally love getting a hack/wee run
Same
i beg your pardon
no hanged man
how do I beat green stake, I suck

not rlly
But still, one is elevated to infinity
Does that imply naneinf is smaller than nan?
only "luck" based thing about naninf is getting the 8 necessary vouchers before ante 24
no
nan is literally not a number
blind
And a fucking brain storm
i wont be able to do ante 39 without a seeded run
and even then itd still prob take me forever
Holy fuck my luck is good today
and if i do it in a seeded run it wont save
yeah that’s the point
same with naneinf
it’s supposed to be time consuming
I would have crode
How it feels to barely win against needle
With prep
bad shop and it's cooked
cooked up some bullshit
Looks normal to me
How we feelin
...oh
Guess
not cooked
Let me guess your main hand is flush
Uhh yeah decided to go for flush since smeared joker makes it easier to leave spades and clubs in hand.
flush is good for white stake
u have 32 cards in deck tho
nvm its challenge
Any hand is good for any stake if you try
free 4ok run
Any mobile players had this bug before ?
straight flush gold stake 
I had to close the game after opening a pack and now I load back during the pack opening but can't use it
Possible
Just need four fingers and shortcut
guys how do I beat green stake, I suck
Keep playing you will get better
possible but 
also why do I always lose my wheel of fortunes but never lose my 
Guys i just skipped for a mega bufgon pack and said "BLUEPRINT" and look
gz
why does everyone like Baron?
Naneif
I feel like I never gat Baron value and when I have my kings in hand my hand is just tiny
I know nothing about endless lmao
I see
yo what is the play here
does canio pair with Paredoila?
for reference im still relatively new to this game
The funny
how can i make canio work well in the ghost deck
tarot farming aura
Yea
if canio works with Paredoila couldn't you use it with the spectrals that destroy 5 and add some
Why is a pokemon (who’s your friend) playing geometry dash
happened to me long ago
Okay who are you talking about, because this could be anyone
Floatzel
Save money and find hanged man/immolate in shops or packs
Or a buisel
Are you referring to Tygore
and then use those to destroy face cards
How is this relevant to what's currently being discussed tho lol
I'm kinda confused why u brought it up
wait I'm new too, is that a strategy
and how u recognize that i have something to do with gd
It’s in the screenshot
It’s valid grounds for discussion
it could be
but i never got canio with pareidolia
That sounds smart actually, but since Pareidolia is uncommon i cannot bank on it showing up unless i have a ton of cash to shred
Of the legendary jokes ive seen so far (which has ever been 3 times) i only ever won with perkeo
I lost with Chicot
just save up your money and reroll in one shop
I've only ever gotten canio, got absolutely no value and sold him.
Is there an alternative build I can go for in the meantime?
Cuz i do wanna make this work
build for straights
Also in order to destroy a card don't I need to farm for Hanged Man tarots?
Not exactly
is mail in rebate good? cause it's probably my most used econ card
you can do it with trading card
or immolate
but depending on what hand you are planning to build, that would be less or more risky
best econ joker in the game
Yes it is
a little too good
4 dollars
Golden joker is fine
But mail in rebate is also common
<@&1133519078540185692>
Thank you
What was that
triboulet wll forever have the most aura
i remember i got a run with 3 souls
ive lost the seed on my other account tho
I have no clue who that is
Guys try this seed
imagine getting 3 triboulets
"moan"
triobulet
i wont tell you unless u want me to
yes
Yellow deck is dope
ok triboulet makes all kings and queens give 2x multi
basicially just an OP photograph
oh yeah I have him
Glory to trib
I need only 4 more
nice
I did unlock all on my alt account and most of the ones I don't have are ones I just haven't bought yet
This run was pretty dumb
Thought Yorick with 1 discard and grimbo would be interesting but whenever I felt slight danger Wheel of Fortune just gave me another Polychrome 😭
Yorick too strong
didnt know chicot and amber acorn interacted like that
I got him on ante 6 and he STILL reached 3X mult
how
Poor Yorick is too good 🗣️
what do you mean
I think the jokers are still shuffled, but instantly revealed
thats clever
it shuffles before chicot activated
The past like 10 souls i’ve only gotten perkeo
I don’t even remember the last time i got a non perkeo
Im tired boss
is it normal to live in fear the second you get a cavendish on your winning run
I think you overshot it a little
I don't live in fear but I absolutely think about it
And my luck can sometimes be bad enough that I fully expect it to happen
Hasn't happened yet
Blueprint won't disappe- oh nvm I misread
THE PLANT HAS WILTED 🗣️
I prefer blueprint to brainstorn, is blueprint better
what to do know 😭
Yes, especially when you copy xmult
Nothing!
because you want xmult to the right of your jokers, right?
They do the same thing, but brainstorm's limitation can be very limiting
Yeah
Adding and then multiplying
If your jokers add before the xmult jokers score then it doesn't matter though
Like shoot the moon or raised fist
oh ok
there are some cases where brainstorm is as powerful as blueprint, but that is if all of your mult and chips come from planets
I like abandoned deck and bus for plus mult
and stm fist geah
Lmao level 51 pair
how does one achieve level 51 pair
Fun combo :D
Burnt joker and Brainstorm
Didn't even need the Photochad
And a ton of blueseals
Amazing lmao
oh yeah
Yeah I was getting two levels per discard
Plus another two from the blue seals
Sometimes three due to the consumable slot bonus voucher
I also like bootstrap and green deck if I get a good blind oneshot build
I really don't like Bootstraps, idk. Always felt underwhelming to me even when I tried it out
fair
I guess I just wanna spend as much money as I can lol
especially when you need to spend money and lose half your mult, or when you don't read the boss blind and lose all your money
Bootstraps and Bull are poor imitators of Campfire
Campfire is the true Money = Scoring Joker
Campfire also encourages rerolls which the other two do not
is ceremonial dagger and egg a good combo
Can be, yeah
Sometimes but it's an exceptionally rare matchup
Don't count on it
i love burnt joker
so it's 
I almost always buy Egg if I'm in excess cash and free slots, but Ceremonial is situational
^ plus you will give out all the value egg gave for that mult
It's a pretty big tradeoff from both sides
It's a scaler at the end of the day
Egg should not be relied on for Temperance, Egg just removes itself from the Joker pool and gives you secret income
I'll stick to egg, discount and swashbuckler for my egg build
Temperance is a rare bonus
Should I buy vampire and replace supernova with it? (Doing a spade flush run)
idk most of the time i have an egg i find temperance
Why not sell Luch? What's countering you
its something expect really
negative is so juicy when you get it on an econ joker like gold and mail in rebate
Don't get me wrong I love Luchador but your current setup doesn't look like anything kills it
Maybe Eye?
bean bug ?
I feel like eye murders everything
ALTHOUGH
it's like needle but harder
If you are considering selling Nova
Eye is a tricky boss but a fair one, just save your good hand for when the Glass appears. Or have a tarot for the flush five
Sorry, flush house
Flush House is a GREAT hand to play in eye
I sometimes buy Tarots just to get a beefy score from a Flush House, then I play my main
eye is tricky if you're doing a spam build
yeah
The other bailout is Acro
Just save your good hand to last with Acro
Or have power to use other hands
Don't waste it until the 3x procs
ie. chips
would black deck be good against eye for the extra joker
and non nova mult ideally lol
could that be it's only use case
Nova is fine, you can run Nova with two hands it's actually very doable
Eye is definitely a supernova opp unless early
Oh eye
Not uhhh
The one that decreases your hand level
black deck is a weird case where somehow acrobat becomes stronger than usual (?)
Arm
For Arm, generally it won't kill Nova as Nova is making the mult
Just kicks the chips down a bit
Eh I wouldn't say rare but you absolutely shouldn't count on it appearing. You should basically never rely on finding a specific thing for any roguelike. When a game gets a "Roguelike" tag on steam, an evil spirit possesses every copy of the software and it makes sure that you will encounter the most specific and petty kind of bad luck imaginable, at least 5 times per session
Just now I forgot that rule and got a mime out of desperation and relied on finding the devil and the chariot
They never appeared until I gave up and sold the mime for a legendary. And guess what the next shop had there right as I entered it :)
I like abstract joker on black deck even though I've never won black deck
Wrong fucking joker (had a negative tag)
Arm can either be harmless or a run ender for sure
Riff Raff is the Black Deck king
two common jokers constantly?
Most of my run losses in Black Deck happen in Antes 1 and 8
Riff Raff is really really good
If you don't like the jokers you sell them for money
If you do you keep them
And riff Raff can't make eternal perishable or rental jokers
all of my losses happen between 1 and 8 because I don't play endless
Also it can make Hanging Chad and Rebate
I played black deck a total of 16 times, and that's because I got C++ twice. That thing is torture and I will avoid it at any cost 😭
ooohhh
And Hanging Chad and Rebate are S tier jokers
rebate my beloved
Also it can make a lot of the +1 incrementals
bro HALLUCINATION IS THE GOAT
Riff Raff is THE ante 1 joker
Love me a Hallulu.
Rebate full agree but I'd put chad on A. It has many use cases but it still relies on finding something. It's not the run carrier I would give S for
Free Tarots
they should make riffraff but for legendary jokers
the 1-2 chance is feeling mighty generous rn
just because
Hanging Chad does rely on other things, but it saves your ass in so many situations I have to put it in S
Hanging Chad and Glass saves you from most bad boss blinds
Hanging Chad can print econ with Lucky's and Golds
If your deck is bad with Hanging Chad, your deck is just bad
is hanging chad, glass and photo insane
Yes that hits the numbers dimension
no genuinely i should be able to win this
As much as I like to rag on Jokers that need synergies (bloodstone anyone?), Chad relies on you just making normal decisions that you should be making anyway
next friends of jimbo 1.1 when
holy fucking "here, win" lmao
is bloodstone good on checkered deck
w shop
Gold seals? You should take those.
Luckys and glasses? You should make those
Fib? Business? You should draft those
No it's bad because of how it works, not because of deck composition
but checked has half hearts
Yeah same lol
But that's because of gold seals, enhanced cards, on score jokers... It's really good but you need something to use it as it should be used
REPO would make FIRE heart cards
Yes but it has a chance not to land at all
Also yes I used Fortune Teller and Abstract A LOT when I was new to the game
literally first shop of ante 24 i love life
I love those jokers
Bloodstone has a 1 in 2 chance for played cards with Heart suit to give X1.5 Mult when scored
Now there are TWO issues with this
- Unlike AJ it has a permanent boss counter that kills it
- You are lucky if you can line up heart flushes consistently enough to get it to work, let alone have all x1.5 go off
Weak to debuffs in general which is already a minus given the RNG
so you could theoretically have a Royal Flush with 5 bloodstone hits
The highs don't matter
cool
But some people are obsessed with RNG being Bloodstone's "identity"
Rng is fine in context
For Business? This is fine. When business fails it doesn't kill your run
bloodstone and misprint while taking every wheel of fortune I find
It just means you get slightly less money
Misprint is also fine actually as Misprint is early game scoring.
The Highs bloodstone reaches technically win the game, but you need multiple consecutive successes to pull it off
The nature of Bloodstone being a suit joker is already punishment enough
This is why I sometimes full skip with Bloodstone
Out of desperation
But I know it minimizes my chance of failure
it you have wheel of fortune level luck is lusty joker and bloodstone insane
If I'm on Ante 6 and I know Bloods can one shot 3 boss blinds, and my econ is in the toilet, I full skip and pray it lands
But it's a hail Mary more than anything reliable
Balatro
In short, it's a bad joker
k
Yeah bloodstone sucks
Also it does actually work with Sixes, assuming you can deal with the Boss counter
making it 1.75x, or making it 1.25x but guaranteed, would help it out a lot
I just always try to have another reliable xmult when I go bloodstone. Even 2X, something that will at least give you some insurance if bloodstone decides to die
Or just use oops all sixes and go bloodstone lucky card/cat, that always goes hard
Non ironically if I see Seltzer I full do Fullskip Bloodstone to the end of Ante 8
Minimize boss blinds seen and max out Seltzers life
Wb flush levels?
is misprint in the same boat as bloodstone or is it goated bcuh I love misprint
the serpent has got to be the easiest boss
With Seltzer Bloodstone you don't need many flush levels
Misprint is very good for the early game
yummy misprint
its 11.5 mult on average, and even 4 mult is a lot early
But yeah, bloodstone is dangerous, temperamental, will kill you, and is best thought of as a desperation play to survive
which itll beat 18/24 of the time
it saddens me how buns the base Jimbo joker is
that mf will keep on giving me +0
it's good early game but still
Base Jimbo is fine
fucking hate missprint
1.95x food
lv3 2pair
No deck changes
What do we think peoples? Kill money and pray or kill food? Should be able to last a little while without it
Same ragebait as bloodstone
its very unlikely to happen multiple times in a row
its 1/24 to get +0
People forget that Jokers have different prices when evaluating them, I'm chill with Splash's effect as it only costs $2
And resales for $1
Bs is not rage bait it literally always hits
huhhhhhhhhhhhh
So what, I'm paying $1 to be able to play a few more cards? I can work with that
bloodstone sucks
do we play the same bloodstone
🙏
This is true if you ignore the times it doesnt hit. Hope this helps
Bloodstone is both expensive AND bad
ok yeah now I'm happy bcuh jimbo
Yes! It is perfect
Flush and retrigger players just have a different mindset
I hate Bloodstone
"I just gotta be lucky"
Look, once we reverse engineer the RNG in about 10 years in the way many nerds have done to Super Mario 64, bloodstone will be good
Lucky cards are my favourite thing in the game
I awaited your arrival
this is why you're hardstuck on red steak

No it’s because red stake is not possible to beat
I'm hardstuck on green stake and I don't even have bloodstone
Gold is just a joke people have made up
Good Francis be like "I hate Bloodstone"
I have literally never seen anyone beat red
i hate bloodstone
What does bad Francis say... 😟
mb
"Eh don't worry, I love Bloodstone too"
I downvoted you.
What does this mean? FAQ ⬇️
Ante boss 5+6 are too hard.
Needs balance these are impossible to beat, I have tried multiple times. Please adjust. There just isnt any cards or combos of cards that can meet the stupid high ante requirements.
Horrifying 😨
Yo is that the Double B himself
The big BB
Oh my god this is still a thing

I forgot about that
green stake makes me need like 7 trillion chips to beat ante 4
I hear if you mail your firstborn son to LocalThunk you can get to ante 40
Is this a copypasta?
i love red card hallu
Red Card is actually one of the better Scalers imo
Amazing
i agree
Doesn't get clamped down by over scoring
used to think it was horrible
Just needs econ to function
Thank you very gay lesbian hornet
but its not even hard to keep that amount of econ
And once you have enough mult just take the good stuff from the packs
what about ride the bus abandoned deck
Slower
true
Bait or not there's probably someone out there who unironically thinks this and says it with authority
You can happily take the rewards from one of the packs and be fine
but then you miss out on any good planet and tarot cards
i mean comparing to other mult scalers its pretty amazing
If they're that good you take them
Wait a minute there's an entire subreddit of this happening..
fair
I will say Flat Mult is slept on
Raised Fist gives a cool +20
Sometimes that's all you need
bus is not better on abandoned compared to an average deck
Abstract's +15 too
Two similar scalers = 2x your flat mult
Watching golden history unfold was a treasure
raised fist can range from 20 to 4 and that can be really annoying
Just don't leave low cards in your hand
22 to 4 actually
ALSO the fact you can control it allows deck digging
Raised Fist and Blackboard are wonderful jokers for very similar reasons
Controllable scoring that is very solid
digging into planet x
but then you need to make a hand using the smaller cards
Sometimes you want to underscore to dig for the blue seals and gold Cards etc
how low is your highest hand
Yeah just play pairs lmao
Unless you need chips, +3 mult is either the same or better than what the planet you're playing is giving you. If it's the same then just take the planet. But if you don't find it then you still get this same +3 mult.
Unless you're playing one of the two, absurdly difficult to get consistently +4 mult scaling hands
I play flushes and full houses 😭
Ive used a calculator for multiple rounds this run so I can minmax scaling
NGL those are generally quite niche
And that's me being generous
Ooo Two Pair as highest
Someone else drop the hammer on what you think of Full House
One time I had one where I got pants later and pair was highest still
2P and fullhouses galore
im barelu making each ante
I love Obelisk though, one of my favorite joker designs in the game
Really makes you stop being a ME MONKEY ME PLAY PAIR guy
I don't see how flushes and full hands could be bad but I'm dumb so enlighten me
and flushes are piss easy to get
Full House is my favourite hand in the game by far
I don't care that it's more trouble for almost the same scoring as 3oak, I love my Full House :< it makes me feel good when I play it!
me when my obelisk timer is high card instead
flushes have bad scaling and other things are inconsistent
Straights scale better, and Pair is easier to get
Flushes scale horribly; +2 +15 per planet. thats only 1 muly faster than pairs
pairslop pairslop
with small hands, you can hold more blue seals/steel/gold cards in your hand
also, the fact that pair and high card are spammable and guaranteed to find make them good
no they're not
Legit, try buying a few Mercurys and running Pair
can you rephrase that in crayon eating terms
In Checkered I will say Flushes are guaranteed but outside that context
lobotomy also gives you more choices of what to play (holding gold cards and blue seals and the like)
they're a 5 card hand, on gold stake they take almost as much effort to draw as a straight
Jupiter barely scale better than Mercury
and scale horribly unlike straights
i dont like flushes
If someone hates Obelisk because they think it's restrictive they either have no principles or don't know how to use it
Jupiter sucks
Also ig you have more scoring cards with full house :D So if your run uses jokers that trigger on scoring cards then full house miiiiiiiiight do you more good than 3oak!
Unless you get to play more than one 3oak 🙃
but if it scales better why is it worse
Because the effort to draw it doesn't exceed the tiny scaling increasing
because it takes so much more effort to get than a pair
lol
Pairs are extremely easy to draw
fair
SAVED
pairs because they're easy to draw allow you to greed hard for value cards
like blue seals
but flushes are tasty
Not Blackboard winning the run lmao
and also
the advantage of 5 card hands (saturn) is that they scale fast, but jupiter doesn't scale fast, so you're throwing away the pair advantage for nothing
banger jokers
Flushes also mean you can't load up Blue Seal
I see rebate in the screenshot I already know
As easily
you can't easily use a lot of good jokers with flushes
mult scaling jokers like bus
but flushes taste nice
you can with pairs
Bloodstone.
they feel better than pairs
Hell na here we go again
Say the thing
The main argument for flushes are ancient joker and checkered
Well they aren't
pairs feel better than flushes
They're kinda beginner traps usually 😔
They can be made very consistent and stuff but when you get to higher stakes, it's significantly harder to meet the score requirements with flushes
obelisk is bad because you can't go past ante 13
Ironically never both at the same time lmao
imagine you play two cards and one shot the blind
Keep spitting facts we love blood stone 🔥
YOU SAID THE LINE YES
I love how AJ and Checkered straight up do not work together
where is this lol
I like Flushes only when it's off Obelisk
obelisk is bad because i keep playing flushes and it doesnt do anything
bloodstone this, obelisk that, where are my idol lovers
And because I already fixed for Blackboard I can play a lot of spade or clubs
non existent
I like flushes in ante 1 small blind
i mean
low skill players I see
I think they are currently burning books somewhere
maybe roffle
true
Once per never ahh joker
non nanlets*
"X is bad because I nevet lean into X's playstyle" is definitely a common theme in balatro reddit posts
obelisk is a scary card it gets so much traction so fast i love it
Using Merry Andy, Idol, Hanging Chad and Abandoned Deck. You can make the world's most depressing substitute for Photochad
I love Arrowhead flushes, those go very hard
True
I'm not kidding you can do that it's won me 2 runs lmao
who said anything about naneinf, I'm talking ante 8 idol run
Spades are my favourite suit in general, even outside of Balatro
It's so stupid
bug report channel
yes this was submitted as a bug for whatever reason
arrowhead fixes flush's chip issue
I never hit my chip goals when I use pairs, two pairs work alright for me and full houses are fine. I can't see how you'd play with pairs and high cards
lmao
which is really nice
i gotta find that
Bloodstone fixes everything
huhhhhh
chip jokers and mercury
chadding the arrowhead to beef up the pair 🧠
Get more mercury and chip jokers
pairs stay winning
Blue Joker is primo stuff
scaling mult jokers
speaking of flushes i just got arrowhead round one
Arrowhead is a nice cheat code
Arrowhead is chill
blue joker is infact very scrumptious
