[median grove]

im doing full house

mainly

[worthy tinsel]

Find earths to increase the level of full house, open the spectral pack to see if there's a blue/purple seal

[median grove]

oh i never opened spectrals

i dont know what they do

[worthy tinsel]

They are like tarots

[median grove]

ah

[worthy tinsel]

But on their own way

[median grove]

is it worth always buying a standard card?

i feel like its good with fibonacci but my money is always pretty low

so i can get more As, 8s, and 5s

[final bone]

Who am I selling?

[worthy tinsel]

nah, unless you want seals and have the money
You can get more Aces/8/5 with death and strength

[median grove]

what are deals?

[versed sable]

Swashbuckler

[final bone]

Then I’d kinda have to sell egg

[versed sable]

Egg is money, Swash is just sitting there giving you small amounts of +mult after all your retriggers go off

[cloud sinew]

Not really, you only "have" to sell one joker rn and swash is doing the least for you

[final bone]

Alr

[exotic pike]

sell swash and buy knife

[final bone]

Woah dude

[exotic pike]

:3

[final bone]

Buy knife?

[cloud sinew]

dagger is ass here

dont take dagger

[exotic pike]

oh wait

how far are they in the run

[final bone]

Top ten worst takes of all time

[cloud sinew]

It doesnt matter really

[final bone]

5/8

[exotic pike]

b-b-b-bb-b-b-ut muh +100 mult

[cloud sinew]

dagger would be horrible because the mult triggers after photochad

[final bone]

It’s already done

So I would be blueprinting Chad right?

[cloud sinew]

No

Photo is better

[final bone]

Fr? I thought it was always better to copy the chad

[cloud sinew]

Nah

copying chad gives 2 triggers of photo, photo is 3 (1 base, 2 from chad)

[worthy tinsel]

Seals are cards modifiers
The gold one gives $3 when scores
The red seal retriggers the card played 1 time, good with gold/glass/steel cards
The blue seal gives you the planet card for your last type of hand played
The purple seal gives you a tarot when discarded

[final bone]

Mhhh

[median grove]

damn thats really good

wtf!

[final bone]

Thank you ms. C++

[median grove]

im getting 60,000 chips in 1 hand

but the boss of ante 8 needs 300,000

[errant brook]

If you have Glass cards or possibly other mult cards it can be

[median grove]

how is that even possible

[errant brook]

You'd be surprised to see what people can do in this game

[final bone]

I have 1 glass king

[errant brook]

If you're playing the glass king then Hanging Chad is better IF you don't care if it breaks

[worthy tinsel]

Violet vessel is the boss?

[median grove]

i think so

[cloud sinew]

Chad doesnt make it more likely to break

retriggers dont affect glass odds

[median grove]

should i get rid of juggler on the left, to get x4 multiplier from joker stencil?

[cloud sinew]

its just 1/4 flat if it scores

[median grove]

or is that too dangerous

[worthy tinsel]

^

[errant brook]

I meant if you're playing the glass card in general. Like if you don't want it to break, then don't play it

[median grove]

are you talking to me

[errant brook]

Move Joker Stencil ALL the way to the right

[worthy tinsel]

Do you get the cards you need consistently?

That extra handsize helpa

[median grove]

whats the difference

[errant brook]

The jokers activate in order

[cloud sinew]

Ah. I interpreted it as you implying glass was more likely to break because you had said "if youre playing the glass king"

[errant brook]

Actually wait no

In thise case it doesn't matter

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah fibbo activates on cards scored

[errant brook]

It CAN matter but here it doesn't

[fiery nymph]

genuinely my most fun run yet

[median grove]

so do you think i should get rid of + 1 hand size to get 4x multiplier?

[errant brook]

What type of hand are you playing?

[median grove]

i do but occassionally i need to use a few discards

[median grove]

full house

[worthy tinsel]

Full house

[cosmic sun]

the win was so free I didn't realize it was the last shop and forgot to roll down for campfire

[median grove]

and its not + 4 multiplier, its X4 so x100 becomes x400

[final bone]

Is orange stake after purple?

[errant brook]

2 Full Houses at 3X vs 1 Full House at 4x

[brisk bluff]

Anything but the straight

[worthy tinsel]

Is thia your last shop becore the boss?

[median grove]

ye

[final bone]

DUDE

[errant brook]

Can you get to 2 Full Houses without the hand joker?

[median grove]

oh wait

[final bone]

GUESS WHAT I FOUND

[cosmic sun]

win streak 4

[median grove]

no i ahve one more

[final bone]

I JUST GOT BLUEPRINT

[median grove]

im not sure but i feel like i have to risk it, i highly doubt ill get to 300,000

[final bone]

😛

[median grove]

without the 4x

[errant brook]

Are you at the boss already

[median grove]

no i have one more shop

[final bone]

I gotta sell the egg now

[errant brook]

Here's what you do

You can always sell the hand size guy during the round

[final bone]

I’m abt to be on my 2nd win

[median grove]

the boss round?

[worthy tinsel]

So you just beat tve small blind
Proceed with the big blind

[brisk bluff]

😭

[median grove]

okey

[errant brook]

Yeah so like let's say you draw a full house right away, you can sell the hand size joker and get extra score, then try to get another one

What level is your full house?

[median grove]

7

is that low

[fiery nymph]

its aight

[worthy tinsel]

Is ok

[final bone]

Build woulda went crazy on plasma

[errant brook]

So that's...18 mult?

Right?

[fiery nymph]

gs?

[median grove]

16

[lofty vault]

Oh no my joker order whatever will I do without knowing the order of my jokers where the order doesn't matter at all

[cosmic sun]

always gs

[fiery nymph]

pro

[median grove]

should i spend all the money i can on this shop?

and the next?

[fiery nymph]

what were the builds

[errant brook]

No

[worthy tinsel]

No

In the last one spend all

[median grove]

is spending $8 too much

[errant brook]

Did you buy any vouchers?

[median grove]

yeah a bunch

[errant brook]

Do you have the boss re-roll voucher

[median grove]

like the planet one and the gold one

[final bone]

What can I say 😼

[median grove]

i think so

how can i check

[errant brook]

Run Info

[median grove]

yeah i have it

[errant brook]

Yeah re-roll the boss lol

[median grove]

should i reroll this boss?

[errant brook]

With your build, yes

[median grove]

but what if the other boss is even harder lol

[errant brook]

The other bosses require less score

[errant brook]

There's one boss that would suck

[median grove]

what build would this boss even be good for?

[worthy tinsel]

I mean
Crimson heart

[median grove]

the most overpowered build?

[errant brook]

Crimson Heart would be the worst one yes

[errant brook]

Balatro's score limit is 308 digits

So 1 with 308 zeroes

[fiery nymph]

niceee

[median grove]

dang

[wet burrow]

got them both in one run letsgooooo

[errant brook]

Biggest pro tip we can give you early on

Full House is usually not a great hand

[wet burrow]

wait

do I need C+ to get C++?

[worthy tinsel]

Builds that oneshot hard
Like this one

[errant brook]

If you can build into it, it can do big things. But typically it's easier to build into 3 of a Kind or 4 of a Kind

[errant brook]

No

But doing C++ before C+ is dumb lol

[median grove]

is my build good?

[wet burrow]

i did it, have all the joker stickers didnt get it

[errant brook]

That would depend on how many cards you've changed/removed in your deck

[final bone]

I wish I could track how to get everything like C++ but I play on switch

[errant brook]

Typically for a Full House build I'd want to either be able to 1 shot every hand or play a lot of them

Well that's for every build really lol

Which is why Full House is tricky

[median grove]

ive changed a couple of cards, i have 9 aces and 8 8's

[errant brook]

That's good for what you're doing

[median grove]

but yeah i wish i could have destroyed more cards

because i do have to discard 1-2 times usually

[errant brook]

The biggest pro tip we can give you is "Play what the game gives you"

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah, adapt or die basically

[errant brook]

Like don't go into a run assuming "I'm going to play Straights" or "I'm going to play Pairs"

See what jokers and such you get and build around that

[wet burrow]

are u sure? 😂

[errant brook]

But you'll be surprised to find out that playing Pairs is often the best route

As you can play them easily and often.

[median grove]

okay i got verdant leaf!

which is only 100,000

[errant brook]

is that all jokers debuffed until one sold?

[fiery nymph]

yes

[worthy tinsel]

Ye

[median grove]

yes

so i should sell my juggler right?

and can i buy a new juggler later

[fiery nymph]

which i absolutely walloped

[median grove]

or no

[final bone]

@median grove this is the type of score you could get from just one hand

[errant brook]

Only when the round starts

[worthy tinsel]

Get the full house and before playing it sell the handsize joker

[errant brook]

Like when the boss loads and the debuff starts

[median grove]

woweee

[errant brook]

THEN you sell the joker

[final bone]

I’m pretty cool what can I say😼

[fiery nymph]

or you could play with debuffed cards depending on ur deck

[worthy tinsel]

Fibbo

[errant brook]

He has Fib and Stencil lol

You also can buy a dummy joker and just sell that too

cuz you have room

[worthy tinsel]

Extra points if you find a luchador

[errant brook]

If you intend on doing C+ then you'll acquire stickers along the way

[red briar]

hi yall

bout to try painted deck white stake

any tips on how i should approach it?

[lofty vault]

Painted is a little cool I guess

[median grove]

i won my first run!!

yipeeeee

[wet burrow]

I already got them all but didnt get the achivement lol

[errant brook]

you got GOLD stickers?

ay there we go!

First win

[red briar]

i'd assume painted deck is all about deckfixing, big hands, and relying a little less on jokers

[worthy tinsel]

Nice

[errant brook]

Have you played a round since then

[wet burrow]

nah

[red briar]

maybe like flush five or 3oak, 4oak, even 5oak

[errant brook]

Play a round

[wet burrow]

just did it rn

[lofty vault]

C++ before c+ is wild

[fiery nymph]

vagabond is so brainless tfff

[final bone]

@median grove I won too!

[errant brook]

Sometimes C++ is weird

[foggy sun]

I sure am glad i am on whitestake for a naneinf attempt

[wet burrow]

u wont catch me playing black deck

[lofty vault]

Clearly a non broke player

[fiery nymph]

why money when i just hyperfix all run

[lofty vault]

Money

[errant brook]

My first Black Deck win was a crazy eternal Vagabond run where I was perpetually poor but got tarots the whole game. My second Black Deck win on Gold Stake I had Blueprint, Triboulette, and Sock by the start of ante 2 lol

[red briar]

time for more pairslop i think

pairslop trumps all

[fiery nymph]

im good

[stoic isle]

MODS

[thorn thistle]

oh mods!

[fiery nymph]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[fiery nymph]

[sly osprey]

bye bye now

[fiery nymph]

[red briar]

[red briar]

lol

eggative

[coarse shuttle]

do i get the obelisk

[stoic isle]

spectral

for gambling

[coarse shuttle]

but do i get the obelisk

[wraith slate]

8 blueprints is pretty funny, also look at this deck now so beautiful

[stoic isle]

uhhhhhhh

[red briar]

is there a mod that lets you swipe to select cards

im getting carpal tunnel from clicking =w=

[edgy stone]

Sure, Obelisk Ante 1 is great

[coarse shuttle]

how
in the actual

[haughty cairn]

Yeah handy mod does that

[red briar]

ah

i might have to look into qol mods

just for ease of use

[final bone]

Yeah

It’s the synergy of your jokers and how they work together

But I just lost

[red briar]

is there a guide to modding?

[haughty cairn]

You could probably find one on YouTube pretty easily

[wraith slate]

crimson heart bean bug baby

[coarse shuttle]

do i sell anything here

[wraith slate]

why?

[coarse shuttle]

idk

[hollow folio]

W seed

[wintry ice]

just build up econ for a chip generator

[wraith slate]

I guess if anything, baseball rn cus you only have 1 uncommon joker but idk, you'd want to sell for econ yeah but there aren't any in shop so you can just chill

[edgy stone]

You can sell 4 fingers

[coarse shuttle]

damn

[hollow folio]

i loss in ante 10

[wraith slate]

oh yeah, best nat negative vagabond ever

[hollow folio]

hs

[brave goblet]

Squaring

Man I rolled past like 5 chads the entire run

[hollow folio]

ts

[random lark]

so what are you gonna do with that 41k you have on you

[hollow folio]

that are my first and the last run on that gamemode

[edgy stone]

High card?

[brave goblet]

Just random, I had like no planet levels the entire time

[coarse shuttle]

do i get idol

[brave goblet]

Sure

[random lark]

deck check

[wintry ice]

it's worse than everything else here

[haughty cairn]

No idol isn’t good without deck fixing

[brave goblet]

just take it the way bean does and then build into it

It's only white stake

[wintry ice]

smiley gives you the +mult necessary to be able to use obelisk in the second half of the gsme

[coarse shuttle]

pretty trash

[hollow folio]

It's good if you have many cards of the same category.

[coarse shuttle]

not really

[random lark]

so why even consider it

[coarse shuttle]

late game

idk im new to this game

[random lark]

your build probably already wins

[coarse shuttle]

alright

[brave goblet]

Nah I've had idol runs in just ante 8 but it takes effort

high skill

(high skill just meaning a billion purple seals)

[hollow folio]

lol

[slow iris]

speaking of idol

[hollow folio]

yes

[brave goblet]

good time to replace supernova

[slow iris]

i would take for the sticker but sadly i actually have to sell something for verdant leaf

[coarse shuttle]

i got this game 2 days ago 😭

[foggy sun]

this is a hard choice. cause like, i am not sure I can guarantee another ecto for a while. But it will def be really hard to survive afterwards

[hollow folio]

pffff man

[wraith slate]

roll it down a bunch lol

[brave goblet]

that's fine, then you learn something new every day

[hollow folio]

not bad run btw

is ok

[random lark]

less than 1/2 chance you hit something good without selling everything

[haughty cairn]

You’re in ante 9 no need to use the ecto this early

[hollow folio]

wtf your comment are a possible spam

[foggy sun]

Yeah, I just skipped cause its early, and I need the deck building cartomancer gives

[hollow folio]

xDF

[versed sable]

it's plasma just sell all but bs and baron

[brave goblet]

lmfao the server hates knull

[random lark]

ante 9

[hollow folio]

is mine.

[foggy sun]

already skipped and uhh. I'll get another eventually, even if I force it too. We already got a red seal pretty early on so

I got high hopes

[haughty cairn]

Yeah someone else said this before I don’t know why this is happening

[versed sable]

it's plasma white stake

[hollow folio]

lol, possible hater

[versed sable]

it's fine if they have any amount of deck fixing

[hollow folio]

hey guys

i found a perkeo negative and blueprint

after 2 weeks :v

[haughty cairn]

I’ve tried making a new account so that my messages are normal and it got instabanned and discord support does jackshit

[hollow folio]

nah really?

[hollow folio]

W run

[slow iris]

wish i didn't have to sell anything but oh well at least it's +1 gold sticker

13 handsize is fun

[swift totem]

broke 10k high cards played

[wraith slate]

@versed sable almost through all the suit bosses, this time, the club with flush five lol

[frank grove]

the numbers 😭

[serene trellis]

can you not drag and buy cards anymore its clicking buy now?

[slow iris]

drag controls are only on mobile

[hollow folio]

soo many jokers

[edgy stone]

I hate Spaceman

[hollow folio]

xD

spaceman are good man

[fiery nymph]

this is just the best

[edgy stone]

Hate 1 spaceman, not 4

[hollow folio]

Be more specific then

[fiery nymph]

i hate it when i occasionally get free levels

grrrr

[hollow folio]

only ankha??

[red briar]

handy is so good

[slow iris]

i think

[edgy stone]

Last 4 antes and he never hit

[slow iris]

i can't remember this was months ago

[hollow folio]

i remember ts seed

[slow iris]

trolley

[hollow folio]

stupid plant

in ante 10

[hollow folio]

wow

[edgy stone]

How do you change color of scoring number?

[slow iris]

i forgot the name of the mod tbh

[wraith slate]

[hollow folio]

so hd and 120fps man

[haughty cairn]

Wow

[hollow folio]

that are a seed???

i remember that

[haughty cairn]

No this is unseeded

[hollow folio]

W ruh

run"

[slow iris]

believe it or not i recorded that in 60 fps

[tranquil umbra]

I love madness

[hollow folio]

but so smoot man

my potato pc is fire when i recording

[shell dagger]

nat negative blueprint autopilot run

[hollow folio]

i remember a seed whit Madness and thath joker that generate 2 common jokers

[tranquil umbra]

Riffraff isnt really great with madness imo unfortunately

[hollow folio]

is eternal man :/

[terse imp]

ahem ahem eternal riffraff

[edgy stone]

Can we arrange for Madness trigger first?

[olive stirrup]

Any decks to play purple stake?

[terse imp]

plasma

[slow iris]

even with an eternal riff raff though

[hollow folio]

plasma

[tranquil umbra]

Shoutout the handy tag the one tag I still have not picked up

[hollow folio]

my proggress are a 27%

[terse imp]

pick it up

or no c++

[tranquil umbra]

I’ll have to eventually

But that’s for later

[terse imp]

why does my balala keep crashing

i cant ragebait rn

[haughty cairn]

Antimatter too in ante 4

[red briar]

jimbo jimbo! more pairslop please!

[fiery nymph]

yesssss

[slow iris]

most used jokers so far on my painted++ profile

[red briar]

i just got ramen

on a build im never discarding on

gg!

[tranquil umbra]

You still don’t really want eternal riffraff you want the majority of your jokers to be eternal especially the commons, you can’t really have the sustain and when you find eternal jokers riffraff is just an empty slot

[vocal rose]

swash

[ancient gyro]

a couple questionable appearances

[trail pier]

are you kidding me dude

[vocal rose]

square joker

holy win

[tranquil umbra]

Pairs on white stake that’s on you tbf

[versed sable]

Lose on purpose and note the seed

[wet burrow]

it worked 🙏

[slow iris]

mainly early game mult

[foggy sun]

now this run needs an ecto... this is painful

[slow iris]

like wat

[coarse shuttle]

royal flush with no jokers/extra cards

[coarse shuttle]

52 cards at ante 14 😭

[foggy sun]

Ive been using DNA for a while

deck has only like 10 non kings atp.

[real crown]

why do they call it wee joker when it in the twos out the joker big joker??

[vocal rose]

and money

[foggy sun]

Yeah, but mime is money and I got 40 red seal kings that are gold

and 2 retriggers.

[wet burrow]

im having trouble reading this lol

[red briar]

is this the holy grail of balatring

[fiery nymph]

burnt ❤️

[red briar]

double burnt joker

i need cavendish NOW

then my build will be complete

dont ask why rtb is only 15 at ante 6

i will fix it trust

[humble gulch]

My two files are identical...

[fiery nymph]

how could you play so much photochad

that typa gameplay honestly just annoys me

[crimson granite]

campfire just saved my ass so bad
i was not expecting violet vessel to pop up 💔

[humble gulch]

I think it's just that I keep it around for so long, cuz I don't use photochad that much

[fiery nymph]

fair enough

[real crown]

i don't think this is a record (misplayed the seed a couple times) but it's the biggest wee i've ever gotten in a non-endless run. gold stake too

[slow iris]

i love rebate

[humble gulch]

I hate it when I open my first profile because when I click on stats I see ante 32 and I start to cry

[tidal flame]

I sometimes hate this game

[red briar]

it's just so beautiful...

[halcyon shoal]

got the most goated seed known to man while playing a modded difficulty

[random lark]

what in the jimbo stake is this

[fiery nymph]

a stake for #⚙・modding-general

[foggy sun]

Chat should I do bean bug? I have infinite rerolls. so It would be possible. and this is the shop before boss blind?

[humble gulch]

Yay

[halcyon shoal]

the final boss waas 1.8 million on crimson heart 🥀

[red briar]

my final boss is amber acorn

i might just scum it

[fiery nymph]

isnt this easy for you

[red briar]

not really

[fiery nymph]

is it still the burnt run

[red briar]

yes

i need cavendish on the left really

[fiery nymph]

show

[fiery nymph]

alright hold it right after you select

[red briar]

what the cav?

[fiery nymph]

like with your mouse

the thing you want to dupe

[red briar]

okay i got it

cavendish is on the far left

time 2 win

[fiery nymph]

nice

[coarse shuttle]

yall w run so far?

[fiery nymph]

just change up the brainstorm after first hand

[red briar]

gg

[fiery nymph]

thats nice

[red briar]

i been winning alot more recently

i guess it is white stake blue deck but

still

[fiery nymph]

good to know that trick it helps a lot

[fiery nymph]

still good

consistency is great

[olive stirrup]

Do i skip? My deck is untouched

[fiery nymph]

i would honestly try to achieve a similar consistency in green stake

the transition to purple would be a lot smoother

[red briar]

that'd take a WHILE

i'm still stuck on red deck green stake

[fiery nymph]

maybe try blue deck green stake more

[random lark]

madness not worth, take ff

[fiery nymph]

ir ghost or yellow

those are easier and they can still teach you those consistencies

[red briar]

i got the tarot joker too 😛

[olive stirrup]

Do i take an eternal mime?

[olive stirrup]

Cartomancer or the +1 mult per tarot used

[median grove]

is dusk bad early game?

[slow iris]

yes

[vocal rose]

no

[median grove]

so should i not buy it

[vocal rose]

madness is very good this early

[haughty cairn]

It’s alright you can always take it in case you get something else like ancient later

[vocal rose]

and it'll be what you pivot to ante 7-8 when chips dont do it

[red briar]

ill try yellow deck green stake

pairslop...

[signal kernel]

Bro I just got a 0/10 bloodstone triggers and now my run is dead

Screw bloodstone

[slow iris]

woaaa

[red briar]

wuoha

his run was so holy even his balalas blessed him

[median grove]

how should i play the early game?

i feel like the only way i do well is if i get joker stencil

[red briar]

needle scuffed me run :C

[median grove]

but i dont want to use it every run

[red briar]

try to find common jokers

[median grove]

like the straight / flush joker?

is that better than the joker stencil

[red briar]

no, but it's certainly more common and you wont have to rely on joker stencil

stuff like raised fist, sly joker

just common chip/mult jokers to get you through early antes

[slow iris]

ditched brainstorm for séance gold sticker

🎉

[median grove]

should i avoid getting tarot cards and planet cards early?

[red briar]

yeah, unless there are no jokers

[median grove]

and is red card good?

[red briar]

if you get red card ante 1 it can be really good ye

or even just early

[versed sable]

If you have the money for it

[median grove]

i got red card and riff raff

i feel like thats a good combo right

[versed sable]

Then you probably have the money for it, yes

[red briar]

ye

later on your interest will pay for it by itself

[frank notch]

ok thank you

[brave goblet]

Actually the greatest 8 ball run I've ever had

It turns out if you have three 8 balls, you get a lot of tarots

[median grove]

i skipped booster packs and it didnt work

its still + 0 mult

[red briar]

did the pack have the booster tag on it?

[brave goblet]

Did you open the pack and then press skip?

[median grove]

oh maybe not

am i supposed to buy it and then press skip?

[red briar]

is this ante 3 tech

[median grove]

or just not buy it

[brave goblet]

Chad next reroll trust

[red briar]

i had chad on a previous shop

this always happens dude

i will have chad

then either sell it or not get it

and photograph will be the next shop

[median grove]

should i get rid of gluttonous joker or smiley face joker?

i feel like i should have one or the other but notboth

[dawn vortex]

I’d say gluttonous, smiley just higher mult. Unless ur deck is fixed for clubs more, depends on what u have more of tbh and what u can draw reliably

[brave goblet]

I've accidentally won 4 gold stake runs in a row

[median grove]

okey

[median grove]

and is the bus joker bad ante 2

[versed sable]

20k pairs
impressive

[median grove]

• 1 multi per hand without a face card

[red briar]

this run is so scuffed

i love blue joker enormously

[brave goblet]

flower pot enjoyer

[versed sable]

It's still a very strong joker and that's pretty early in the run

[red briar]

rtb is one of the best jokers to get early imo

[opal delta]

wow what a hard decision...

theyre both good options for me

[red briar]

buffoon pack is gonna have perkeo trust

[versed sable]

@brave goblet I'll get there eventually >w>

[wet burrow]

i hex the riffraff here but thats just me

[versed sable]

not possible

[brave goblet]

hey you got 6 win streak, that's 2 over me

[red briar]

nooo trust me it will

[dawn vortex]

Rtb is good, u can start scaling it but then ur obvs gonna get rid of smiley as ur not playing face cards

[median grove]

but doesnt it go against smiley joker?

[versed sable]

the winstreak clearly being the defining thing I have over you, not the money

[red briar]

i have a dilemma here

do i do anything for the joker stencil

[versed sable]

Probably not

[brave goblet]

and the high score

[red briar]

or just keep it pushin

[brave goblet]

$474k is CRAZY

[versed sable]

High score is pretty irrelevant given i can score naneinf on demand but it'd brick my run

[humble gulch]

I mean

[frank notch]

sell all your jokers and dont buy the stencil

[versed sable]

I'm still going, for better or worse

[median grove]

so what even is my build?

flushes? straights?

ante 2

[opal delta]

we ball

[frank notch]

instead buy the credit card and go as much in debt as possible, then sell it before starting the blind

[red briar]

try to use all your hands to scale the rtb

whilst still scoring enough to pass

[brave goblet]

poggin

money high score

[dawn vortex]

High cards to scale and pairs and two pairs

[red briar]

so pairs, high card, 3oak, etc

[versed sable]

Pair of 10s to throw away the face card with, and look for 9 or 4 for straight, maybe?

[slow iris]

playing on any deck other than painted is gonna feel so weird since i've been doing painted deck only c++

[versed sable]

I took a negative skip this afternoon which gave me dice and brainstorm

[brave goblet]

cursed

[versed sable]

First copy joker in like 300 rerolls and it's the one after the negative skip

real gameplay

[frank notch]

do anaglyph and pray for an ante 7 negative tag

[versed sable]

":D dice!!"
".. Oh, wtf"

[rancid gull]

Is painted deck really hard?

[slow iris]

painted deck only

[rancid gull]

to gs

[median grove]

okay and long term what is my strategy

[frank notch]

ohhhh

[rancid gull]

c++

[brave goblet]

yes and no

[median grove]

should i buy this ancient joker?

[versed sable]

Scale bus, look for a chips joker from riff-raff, and figure it out later?

[versed sable]

That sounds like you figured it out to me

[brave goblet]

It's hard cause it's infuriating not having that 5th joker slot as you'll eventually figure out, but you'll eventually learn to play it like it's semi-easier jokerless

[slow iris]

the -1 joker slot kinda makes it a bit difficult

[median grove]

should i get rid of red card eventually? or is it good late game

it has + 18 mult rn

[brave goblet]

You can get rid of it eventually if you get some xmult and planet levels in

[versed sable]

Painted deck upside: hand size
Painted deck downside: you can't use the perishable rental jimbo anymore

[brave goblet]

I meaaaaaan, you can

[versed sable]

True

[brave goblet]

more hand size = more gold cards in hand 🧠

[olive stirrup]

Do i take both midas and baron?

[versed sable]

I mean
it scales
it's an option if you hold it and scale it for a long time
but you don't have to

[brave goblet]

sure

[versed sable]

Yeah because one is mult and money, and one is free

[brave goblet]

you can drop baron later once it's accumulated value and you realize it's not helping that much

ooooor, you can pull off a baron build in blue stake anyway

[open pier]

hi does anyone know how to edit the save files cuz i cant seem to discover palette ive tried everything from doing it modded and unmodded but it still isnt working

[versed sable]

Or find mime and a blue seal 🔥

[brave goblet]

yep

[open pier]

i need help💔

[brave goblet]

but tbh speculative mime is super helpful

[slow iris]

especially with eternals and the fact that i have to worry about getting gold stickers on jokers

[twin lantern]

yo guys i just started this game , i got a questoin

[slow iris]

ecto is something i've barely come across so far

[versed sable]

And a little bit of deck fixing
.. And pray for no Plant
... or Psychic
...... or bricked draws

[red briar]

i'm gonna die doing this 😭

[versed sable]

True

[twin lantern]

would there be any reason for buying this 😭

[slow iris]

baseball card

[versed sable]

Buy it and hold it for the BP/BS tech
Trust

[slow iris]

temperance value

[red briar]

free double tag obviously

[haughty cairn]

To get a double tag

[rancid gull]

is is a good setup

[slow iris]

selling for double tag

[twin lantern]

ig

[red briar]

green stake

ante 8 is gonna be brutal to me

[rancid gull]

wtf lol, it hid your message saying it was spam

[open pier]

does anyone know how to change the save files to unlock palette😭

[slow iris]

it is quite expensive though

[slow iris]

that's because his account is marked as a spammer by discord

all of his messages will be hidden

[red briar]

gg it's over

[haughty cairn]

Yeah it’s pretty annoying

[rancid gull]

you can still beat it

there's ways around it

luchador

Bones

[red briar]

luchador would save me

[rancid gull]

It's not over till it's over

[median grove]

is hack bad

[rancid gull]

NO

[light brook]

no

[rancid gull]

Hack is great

[median grove]

how?

[frank notch]

wee

[median grove]

it seems so bad

[frank notch]

glass

[light brook]

genuinely one of the most underrated cards of the generation

[rotund igloo]

Hack is great

[opal delta]

we ball!!!

[red briar]

welp, it's over

[versed sable]

If you have a build that can use it, no
On an average run, probably

[red briar]

this run was fun while it lasted

[light brook]

wee, fib, other examples exist but these are the two i think of

[median grove]

how do i build a run with hack?

[rancid gull]

Unironically bloodstone goes hard with hack

[rotund igloo]

Wee joker goes hard with hack

Fibonacci as well

[nova leaf]

Imagine a world where people just accept Eternal Riff Raff is goated

[rancid gull]

TRUE

[light brook]

a retriggers a retrigger 🤷

[rancid gull]

Fibb is nice

[slow iris]

bloodstone never goes hard

[azure wasp]

how can i get help setting up multiplayer?

[light brook]

#⚙・modding-general

[rancid gull]

I've been in that world

[versed sable]

Wee, Fib, glass cards, money generation..
really anything that a retrigger would help with, Hack is just specifically "Every card 2345" that gets retriggered

[red briar]

dawg noooo

[rancid gull]

Good econ

A lot of good commons

[humble gulch]

I'm mad

[light brook]

i feel constellation and hack (constellation lesser so) are the most underrated jokers

[nova leaf]

square joker is so fucking good man

[light brook]

hi mad i’m jandom

[nova leaf]

mmmhhh yes yes more chips square man give them to me

[red briar]

growing a square joker is like raising a child and watching it grow and beat the big blinds

[nova leaf]

what hand is one even meant to focus on when playing with square joker? two pair?

[humble gulch]

My name it's not mad i'm jadon

[red briar]

its an emotional journey to be sure

[slow iris]

i've accepted it a long time ago

[nova leaf]

^

[red briar]

i just do pairs with 2 extra cards

[rancid gull]

square joker is cracked

[red briar]

because I LOVE PAIRSLOP 😛

[rancid gull]

But

I like runner more

[median grove]

i just won a run but now i feel like i have no idea what to do, is that normal?

[rancid gull]

Runner is my goat

[median grove]

there are so many things

[light brook]

oh in that case hi not mad it’s jadon i’m jandom

[red briar]

runner, ff, square

[wintry ice]

the difference in stance between experienced and inexperienced players about campfire and obelisk is insane

[red briar]

so many chips 🤤

[slow iris]

true

[humble gulch]

You know, that's not my name either

[nova leaf]

i just played high cards and two pairs cuz even if i had to go high card, card sharp would still proc from the second one and onwards

[red briar]

i love obelisk

[median grove]

is scholar better or the joker that gives me $8 if i trigger the boss blind?

[rancid gull]

Wee a hundred percent

[frank notch]

i love campfire

[nova leaf]

wee joker feels so bad man idk i've never got a good run with it

[wintry ice]

it easily gets to 500

with very little investment

[frank notch]

wee joker's goated with hanging chad

[rancid gull]

If you're pair slopping

[nova leaf]

i've never used campfire either

[rancid gull]

you can fit it in easily for one

and two

[light brook]

you gotta make the run around it but it’s GOOOD when it’s done right

[rancid gull]

hanging chad

need i say more

[frank notch]

i've used it its very easy to scale

[rancid gull]

amazing chip scaling

[humble gulch]

Score a two, you already get +8 chips

[frank notch]

but requires a strong economy

[light brook]

possibly the best chip scaler in the game

[red briar]

it's near 2am and i got college tomarrow, balala you guys tomorrow

[versed sable]

As an endless player, Wee joker wins this no contest

[nova leaf]

i reallly like runner

playing straights is too fun

[rancid gull]

runner is peak!

[opal delta]

yay

[light brook]

w endless player, don’t see too many of my people nowadays

[rancid gull]

i've gotten burned by striaghts too many times now

i love them

[slow iris]

runner is pretty good

[rancid gull]

but damn are they annoying

[nova leaf]

what is 5/150 indicating

in your nickname

[red briar]

i believe it's stickers

[light brook]

bro thinks straights are annoying good thing i’m not 😛

[red briar]

gold stickers

[light brook]

gold stake stickers

[humble gulch]

5/150 jokers with gold stickers

[rancid gull]

You're chill af

[versed sable]

hi

[nova leaf]

i see

[light brook]

i have successfully beaten 1 (one) gold stake run

[red briar]

fire!

[light brook]

jesus christ 🙏 apparently i got work to do

[humble gulch]

I have 264/300

[light brook]

i try my best

[rancid gull]

you do well my friend

you do well

[versed sable]

Bean gaming

[red briar]

i wanna do endless one day

[light brook]

YAAAY

[red briar]

but i am far too inexperienced

[median grove]

Jj joker or Ride the bus joker?

[light brook]

you’ll learn

[red briar]

rtb

[light brook]

what the heck is jj

[frank grove]

Flash card

[rotund igloo]

Flash card

[median grove]

the one that gives you + 2 mult when you reroll

[red briar]

scales from shop rerolls

[light brook]

i assumed

[median grove]

but i feel like thats better no?

[red briar]

if you got crazy econ it might be worth but

on the average run rtb stomps

[humble gulch]

-5 dollars

[light brook]

no rtb is better imo

[rancid gull]

I still like flash card though

[median grove]

and hack is good with ride the bus too right

[frank grove]

Rtb is far better

[humble gulch]

Not really

[haughty cairn]

Rerolls are expensive not playing face cards is free

[rancid gull]

it's fine ig

[frank grove]

Flash card is cool but it requires more stuff and is expensive to scale early

[rancid gull]

i mean, you get scaling mult for rerolling the shop

so you see more potential good jokers

and benefit from it

[frank grove]

I don’t mind it as a pivot off something like supernova but not bus

[red briar]

and you have what money to buy them with?

[light brook]

chaos and flash card 🤤

[rancid gull]

25 dollars with interest

[red briar]

you damn spent them all on rerolls

[humble gulch]

And die cuz you don't have money to buy them ❤️‍🩹

[frank grove]

Well you try to make a lot of money and then you spread rolls out

[red briar]

you need insane econ to make flash card work 🥺

[worldly edge]

Who out here Ortalabbing?

[nova leaf]

i have two save files, one on my phone and one on my pc

i wish i could fuse them

[humble gulch]

I'm Out but i'm not ortalabbing

[rancid gull]

I always have good amounts of money late game

[humble gulch]

[nova leaf]

i have like 5 gold stakes done
3 on pc and 2 on my phone

[red briar]

late game...

[frank grove]

Flash card has a higher top end than most of the other mult scalers but just most of the time it’s about as good as others it’s kinda bad early game though

[red briar]

i have a maximum of 40$ lategame bro im a compulsive spender

[rancid gull]

econ is everything

[humble gulch]

Go for jokerless

[nova leaf]

fuh naw

[red briar]

more econ = more reroll = more balala

[nova leaf]

more balala

[light brook]

hot take joker less is easier than gold stake

[red briar]

more balala ❤️

[haughty cairn]

Joker less isn’t really that hard

[red briar]

he made a statement

[humble gulch]

No

[rancid gull]

jokerless is not bad at all actually

the fact that jokers Cant show up in shop means you will see the stuff you need to win more

[humble gulch]

It's not easier tho 🥀

[frank grove]

Yeah jokerless is kinda easy

[rancid gull]

if you consumable block

it's goated

[frank grove]

The only problem is that bosses can just kill you instantly

[light brook]

i suck at gold stake too so i’m kinda biased

[red briar]

if they had jokerless as a gamemode with decreased blind sizes towards the beginning it would be a fun thing to do

[haughty cairn]

Not seeing jokers makes deck fixing wayyy easier and since it’s only white stake it’s not that hard to win just playing 4 of a kind with some glass or steel

[rancid gull]

yeah it's called white stake lol

[red briar]

then WHY are there jokers in my shop

[humble gulch]

The point is doing a normal run without jokers, nerfing it it's kinda lame

[heady narwhal]

skill issue just roll better

[slow iris]

black deck jokerless

[red briar]

some runs it feels like i may as well be on jokerless because nothing useful pops up in the shop

[light brook]

because a king needs his jesters, no?

[heady narwhal]

this seems unlikely

[red briar]

i am one of the jesters

[heady narwhal]

which jokers do you consider useless

[rancid gull]

actually, almost like any joker starting is so useful

don't underplay the value of them

[median grove]

is add the number of times poker hand has been played to run mult good

or no

[rancid gull]

half joker and sly will carry antes 1 and 2

[humble gulch]

Again, you can't not get something

[rancid gull]

and even 3

kinda

[light brook]

cavendish 😂

[red briar]

omelette

[heady narwhal]

it's fine but the other +mults that scale per hand played are way better

[haughty cairn]

Yeah just spam pairs or high card

[heady narwhal]

so close! that is a challenge

[median grove]

what about banana?

[red briar]

egg

[rancid gull]

banana is amazing

[median grove]

really?

[heady narwhal]

gros michel is cool

[light brook]

he mean egg

[red briar]

monke see banana monke buy

[rancid gull]

getting it really early is amazing

[humble gulch]

You take michel to get cavendish

[rotund igloo]

Seance, just way too niche for normal gameplay

[heady narwhal]

egg is pretty nice

[median grove]

but what if it ust gets desrtoyed

[rancid gull]

also, if it dies, cavendish can appear

it's really nice

[heady narwhal]

because of temperance

[rancid gull]

cavendish can appear

[frank grove]

Banana allows you to one shot for a while early and then allows you to get cav if it breaks

[red briar]

not for scoring

[median grove]

what?

[red briar]

decent econ at best

[rancid gull]

swashbuckler

[red briar]

once michel breaks you can get cavendish after

[light brook]

ok i think paradoelia is only really good with parking and business card, else it’s kinda a non pickup

[red briar]

x3 mult

[heady narwhal]

you don't get $50 temperance in jokerless though

[haughty cairn]

After banana goes extinct you’re able to find cavendish which is x3 mult

[frank grove]

Faceless

[median grove]

i see

[humble gulch]

When gros michel dies it unlocks cavendish, ×3 mult 1 in 1000 chance to die

[red briar]

i see

ill try this tomorrow

[median grove]

and earn $5 for every 3 face cards discarded is good with rtb right?

[humble gulch]

Kind of

[rancid gull]

yeah!

[light brook]

yert

[median grove]

so i will buy that too

[rancid gull]

it's a decent enough synergy

[frank grove]

Kinda, sometimes you’ll have to play faces to throw em away but it’s still a good pickup

[red briar]

you're suggesting much brighter ideas than me

[humble gulch]

This game it's not all about synergy

[median grove]

but then that resets the rtb

[red briar]

it only resets them if they score

[rancid gull]

the face can't score

[frank grove]

You can play faces the just can’t score

[rancid gull]

it can be played

but it can't score

[median grove]

ohhh

okey

[red briar]

if you have an ace then play a king and a queen it won't reset

because the ace will be high card

[rancid gull]

if you play a pair of face cards on the plant

it wont reset rtb

[median grove]

well maybe i will hold off because its bad to spend all my money in thebeginning right

[rancid gull]

if they're debuffed you're fine too

[median grove]

so i can have interest

[iron vigil]

midas mask...

[opal delta]

rtb is good but I need money

[light brook]

true i forgot midas midas too

[red briar]

rock-it

[heady narwhal]

you can spend money on econ jokers

[median grove]

okay then i will buy faceless joker

[red briar]

fire pick

is it just me or does green stake feel alot more RNG

if you don't have some wild setup and you get violet vessel

it's just over

[iron vigil]

its crazy everytime i get card sharp i manage to hit The eye

[red briar]

i think on green stake

im gonna start looking for a boss blind reroll tag

just in case something happens like last run

[iron vigil]

So close, blue stake

[red briar]

i murdered blue stake first try

with two ancient jokers and a blueprint

[frank grove]

Yeah sometimes you’ll get something like that and clear

But not every blue stake game is going to be like that

[red briar]

i knooooow

[iron vigil]

Ancient joker mentioned

[red briar]

but as far as i'm concerned i'm better than blue stake right now

and i don't intend on changing that for a long time

1-0 me

[median grove]

is +30 chips remaining for every discard good if its negative?

[gentle basalt]

Yeah, on green stake, it really isnt

[haughty cairn]

Anything is good if it’s negative

[red briar]

i lost a run to that

it was even pairslop

[opal delta]

hell yeah I have two rockets now

[gentle basalt]

What does that have to do with amything

[red briar]

ghost deck my heart

[red briar]

i had pretty decent score and still lost to the 600k blind

[gentle basalt]

Are you aware there is purple stale which makes violet vessel 1.2M?

[red briar]

and i don't intend on doing that for a long time

[gentle basalt]

Anyways on purple stake+, you have to consistently at least score 400K to win

[red briar]

no clue how im gonna do that

im not ready for purple stake yet

[gentle basalt]

So saying 600K is just undoable without luck is wild

[opal delta]

do you guys think I can pivot to shoot the moon

[red briar]

i mean you have to be at least a little lucky right

[gentle basalt]

No, i think i can win (almost) any green stake run (at least on yellow deck)

[opal delta]

shoot the moon my beloved

[heady narwhal]

not really i don't think

shoot the moon my beloved

[gentle basalt]

And then there are people who can say the same for gold stake

[iron vigil]

shoot the moon my beloved

[olive stirrup]

I need scoring rn, what do I buy?

[red briar]

you're clearly much better at the game than i will be for a while

[heady narwhal]

you can get pretty near 100% winrate on gold stake if you're drspectred

[iron vigil]

burnt joker

[molten ember]

had fun with this but man lucky cards do not take u far (the econ from it was fire tho i got $120 in one hand)

[red briar]

so luck doesn't mean anything and it's all up to your decision making

[gentle basalt]

Yes but its important to recognize that you need to get better, and not lucky

[haughty cairn]

Yes exactly

[iron vigil]

yo that negative cloud 9 looks fucking sick

[heady narwhal]

i like burnt jonkler

[gentle basalt]

Luck does matter, but you can definitely maintain a high win rate in balatro

[median grove]

my banana broke and i didnt get anything

[heady narwhal]

you need to find cavendish in the shop afterwards. it's a common joker

[molten ember]

this was such a fire fucking seed got that poly dna, i had a mime early on that i didnt pick up, at one point i had photochad, and eventually baron shows up around ante 11

[heady narwhal]

doesn't always show up

[red briar]

is there a way to check your total amount of matches playerd

[molten ember]

and ofc i had THAT BLUEPRINT RAHH

[haughty cairn]

Once it breaks you need to find cavendish in the shop to get it you don’t get it automatically

[median grove]

is it the one that looks like an egg

[haughty cairn]

It looks like a banana

[heady narwhal]

i think the one that looks like an egg is called "egg"

[olive stirrup]

Do i sell the two pair joker and buy sly?

[gentle basalt]

Not officially, but you can upload your profile.jkr to balatro stats or something

[molten ember]

why are u considered a likely spammer

[slow iris]

https://www.balatrostats.com/

[iron vigil]

Sell burnt joker for sly

[molten ember]

ur msg is hidden

[red briar]

im at 17 wins up from 6 yesterday 🔥

[stone shell]

whats your base hand stats like

[opal delta]

if the banana on the left broke, you need to start looking for the banana on the right in your shop

[slow iris]

cavendish so good

[stone shell]

i like the banana on the left though

[opal delta]

hi luna

[stone shell]

its got authentic personality

[stone shell]

just got burnt?

[slow iris]

hey

[red briar]

you vs the banana jimbo tells you not to worry about

[haughty cairn]

Because my account got banned for spam even though I didn’t do anything

[median grove]

guys i dont really know what to do
