[cosmic sun]

Observe more GS runs

[tiny canyon]

The pair meta doesn't help this, though its not at fault for said meta.

[fringe nebula]

chad is just a very versatile joker

[light brook]

one more time for the people in the back

[tiny canyon]

Its far too helpful for its rarity.

[light brook]

not roffles though 3/4 of his builds involve chad

[cosmic sun]

Shop 1 buffoon pack is Grimbo or Chad guess which one I take

Rebate or Chad

People forget

[steady marten]

How do you download mods for this game?

[glad aspen]

Roffle is my baltro creator of choice

[light brook]

grimbo bus and supernova carry gold stake +mult pairslop and they’re common

[light brook]

#⚙・modding-general

[tiny canyon]

Probably Grimbo. You need to survive. But once you are scoring enough to get through early rounds, chad just becomes a winmore. Sometimes it is the very thing that helps you score more to survive, if you for some reason have a lot of enhancements.

[cosmic sun]

Notice how many commons are good and also a wiser choice than chad

[tiny canyon]

Like I said before, it didn't create pairslop, but pairslop certainly is not helping it be balanced.

[steady marten]

Are there any skip tags worth using in a normal run?

[tiny canyon]

Investment in ante 1/2

[glad aspen]

Econ skips

[light brook]

investment if it’s ante one, negative if your going for ++ and you’re on anaglyph otherwise never take

[cosmic sun]

The only times I skip are for Ante 1 investment or to keep a perishable alive/madness from killing something important at ante 8

[frank grove]

its econ grinding time?

[glad aspen]

I always take a rare joker skip ante 1 is that bad...?

[fierce pewter]

why does Balatro have a Switch 2 version

i just noticed while i was scrolling around the eshop

[glad aspen]

Same reason it has a ps5 version

[fierce pewter]

is the game on PS4?

[glad aspen]

Yes

[cosmic sun]

I mean some people do this for fun but I don't think I'm gonna have fun if I get the Tribe

You shouldn't actually do it if you're serious about winning

[glad aspen]

But what if you get ancient 🤤 🤤🤤

[cosmic sun]

Like many shop 1 scoring jokers will carry you for a bit already

[cosmic sun]

Vagabond >>>>

[tiny canyon]

Risk reduction. Playing well almost always means risk reduction. You thin your deck to reduce risk. Rare tags are super risky, especially on higher stakes due to stickers.

[glad aspen]

But ante 1 ancient 🤤🤤☹️

[tiny canyon]

And what are the odds of that actually happening? Moreso, happening without a sticker that ruins it?

[fervent pebble]

i do this everytime and then it gives me stuntman or something 💔

[glad aspen]

1/50 or something but i ❤️ gamblig 🤤🤤🤤

[cosmic sun]

is that bad to you

you lowkey highrolled that one

[tiny canyon]

You would by credit card just so you could spin more wheels wouldnt you

[glad aspen]

Only if i had Oops.

[fervent pebble]

idk maybe im playing wrong

🦭

[tiny canyon]

Stuntman is a great start. I had a run yesterday with early stunt and I kinda just... won.

[glad aspen]

Early stunt on plasma is so fun doing a bull/econ run is even more fun though

[fervent pebble]

i hate flushes

[glad aspen]

👎

🚫

[tiny canyon]

Flushs are the safe hand to play. Accordingly so, they do not level well.

[feral needle]

Stuntsman kinda just means You're Gonna Play Pairs or High Card Now

[tiny canyon]

Yeah. I once again repeat the unpopular opinion that pluto and mercury should be nerfed.

[slow iris]

👍

✅

[glad aspen]

You hate throwbavk i dont wanna hear it

[feral needle]

The only reason it's good is because of blue seals let's be real lol

[slow iris]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

+20 mult...

[cosmic sun]

Only blue seals?

Smh

[feral needle]

it's very easy to hold onto a planet card because you only need to score 1 or 2 cards depending on what you're onto

[glad aspen]

Youre just mad throwback has more swag

[slow iris]

nop

[feral needle]

The more cards your hand has the less you can hold onto

makes it harder to level up

ofcourse if you do level up, that's great scaling

which I guess in that sense it is balanced

blue seals make it too easy to level up each round for those low-ranking hands though which gets you +15 or sometimes +30 permanent chips for the hand you're on if you have two

and +1 mult which by itself it's not much but that gets multiplied by whatever xmult you have

and eventually adds up

[glad aspen]

What do you guys think is the WORST joker to be negative on regular stakes and decks

[tiny canyon]

Sometimes the game is just nice to you.

[raw wadi]

if i have a 2 pair joker does he work for full houses?

[whole storm]

is chariot making cards steel a jjba reference

[feral needle]

If it says "contains two pair" yeah

[raw wadi]

alr ty

[tiny canyon]

Probably a food joker like ice cream or popcorn that aren't useful late game but would be too expensive early game

[cosmic sun]

I wouldn't care if Blue Seals were nerfed but they are not the only pair enabler

[feral needle]

true

[glad aspen]

Yeah i think all of the tarots are jojo references tbf, local is a big fan apparently

[glad aspen]

Yeah i was thinking like jimbo

[tiny canyon]

7 dollar jimbo...

[frank grove]

gg

[glad aspen]

See exactly

[tiny canyon]

Eh I think 8 dollar ice cream is probably worse

[glad aspen]

Money maxxing

[frank grove]

bootstraps is so boring to use i want to roll in the shop more

[tiny canyon]

Start glazing flash card, then.

[glad aspen]

Yeah i think an expiring joker will probably always be worse, except for like, banana

[frank grove]

i did see a flashcard

[cosmic sun]

😂

[glad aspen]

Flash card is underrated imo

[frank grove]

Yeah

[slow iris]

flash card's not great but not too bad either

imo

[cosmic sun]

It can work, just that it has to compete with monsters

[frank grove]

Flashcard not great but it works better than boots does

[tiny canyon]

Flash is bad for new players tbh, but then the same people who can reliably get great econ and reroll at least thrice a shop are the same people who slander it???

[cosmic sun]

And a lot of people get it to a higher ceiling when it has the right combo but also I look at the insane amount of games where I have another mult scaler

I def get more dagger runs too

Dagger kinda mogs it I fear

[summer horizon]

This game is hard man

[tiny canyon]

So its in this weird place where new players like it but cant use it well and good players hate it but are perfectly set up to use it

[dreamy saffron]

boy am i stupid

[feral needle]

wrong server?

[cosmic sun]

Pity is a better word ngl

[glad aspen]

Fair, but its one of the most consistant scaling +mult jokers there is

[summer horizon]

Can't get past blue stake in spectral deck

[cosmic sun]

Flash could genuinely be your only option at times so you can't really just swear off using it

[feral needle]

would flash card be broken if it scaled based on how much money you spent rerolling :localthonk:

[dreamy saffron]

yeah

[feral needle]

it happens sometimes

[frank grove]

Yeah flash does work it just doesnt come online until you have money so it takes longer to get working well

[glad aspen]

Yes. It would, you would be able to roll all your money for +20 mult each shop, unless you saw a joker you wanted and then its still like +10 each shop

[feral needle]

I was thinking more along the lines of "for every X spent" insteand of a 1:1 ratio

but I suppose that'd still be too much or too little

[frank grove]

yeah also the vouchers impact that pretty badly

[feral needle]

i see

[glad aspen]

Atp just make a seperate joker but somehow seperate it from boot

Maybe like a .02 x mult joker

To complete the trio

[frank grove]

bank joker: gives you some amount of cashback of all money spent this ante after beating boss blind

[glad aspen]

Cool idea

Like a pocket investment joker

[frank grove]

Yeah

[cosmic sun]

The art of the clutch

[glad aspen]

Buff drivers into a scaling joker

[slow iris]

no new stickers this run :(

[light dome]

Wow blueprint in shop!!!!

[olive flax]

May i ask how people make the idol work?

[cosmic sun]

They play endless brainrot so they don't have to do anything for 8 antes then fix for it

[glad aspen]

Copius amounts of deaths, fools, hung men, and card deletion/addition jokers

[feral needle]

in theory you could also use wild cards or hanging chad with it too

[olive flax]

Ok so I wasn't delusional thinking its ass

[feral needle]

It do be a joker of all time though (it's a weird one)

[glad aspen]

Idol is good for any ante past ante 8

[cosmic sun]

Idol would really benefit from a redesign

To not be a meme

[slow iris]

notice how the game is focused on the 8 antes

and not really endless

[cosmic sun]

Like I'm sure ppl wanna like Idol right

Just that it's deadass a meme

[feral needle]

would it be too good if it picked just a random rank, like how mail-in rebate just picks a random rank to discard for money

just an idea

[olive flax]

Yea

[feral needle]

I'm sometimes the type of person to think of something and then see if it could stick

[cosmic sun]

I barely remember the last idol brainstorming session ngl

[slow iris]

it is pretty difficult to get idol to work within 8 antes especially on gold stake

[cosmic sun]

I mean idol's gimmick is choosing so

[frank grove]

If you dont have good tarot gen in 8 antes its really tough

[cosmic sun]

That could mean many things for Ante 8

[glad aspen]

Thats what i was trying to say.

[cosmic sun]

Anyways Idol could absolutely be designed for Ante 8 and still retain its flavor

[frank grove]

Would it be insane of it to pick two?

[cosmic sun]

Maybe a pool

[frank grove]

Yeah also a slight buff to wilds kinda

[cosmic sun]

Maybe a pool that favors things

"Chooses 5 enhanced cards" type shi

[slow iris]

just get rid of idol tbh

no need to worry about it if it's gone

localthunk please let me help work on balatro

[olive flax]

Hot take, I unironiclly take matador when its an ez cash. Which means I take it more than a good chunk of rares

[fresh vessel]

what’s the best tag

[cosmic sun]

I think Matador is getting updated but also I'm glad you actually took it when it was free money

[cosmic sun]

hmmmmm it's on the tip of my tongue I wonder what it could possibly be

👀

[olive flax]

Juggle

[nova mantle]

queer matador truly carried this run

[fresh vessel]

guys i got double rare tag surely its blueprint and brainstorm (its gonna be obilisk and invis)

[nova mantle]

obi licks is a free win tho

[fresh vessel]

what a take

WEEEE

time to scale wee

[fervent pebble]

antimatter saved me from getting my ass kicked in verdant leaf 🥹

[cosmic sun]

they're right you just don't know ball yet

[fervent pebble]

ive been sleeping so hard on red card its awesome

[cosmic sun]

🦅

[cosmic sun]

yeppppp

[slow iris]

two obelisks

🔥

[fringe nebula]

obelisk is a free win

well, for 8 ante runs

[median grove]

am i the only one who thinks ceremonial dagger is horrible?

because you have to keep it on the rightside

[cosmic sun]

someone on reddit prolly got obelisk campfire in a double skip once and died after selling them

[fringe nebula]

dagger is good

[versed sable]

it's good with econ and an open slot

[fresh vessel]

should i play towards hit the road, could be fun

[median grove]

but its mult is never multiplied

[cosmic sun]

not the best but it scales well enough

[fringe nebula]

bruh

[slow iris]

i love when i already have egg and i come across a dagger

[cosmic sun]

You can reorder after dagger eats tho

[median grove]

oh true lol

[fringe nebula]

once dagger killed something, you can reorder it to the left si- ok i'm slo

my buddy got his up to 512 once

[frank grove]

[fervent pebble]

fire build

[cosmic sun]

Imagine if Balatro had metrics for individual jokers

"Highest mult on Green Joker" "Money made from Mail in Rebate"

[frank grove]

theres a mod for that iirc

[cosmic sun]

I should do that when I finally bite the bullet on modding my save

[fervent pebble]

1st purple stake done

red deck is so boring

[frank grove]

just got a poly flowerpot from a judgement ..

[cosmic sun]

sad if tarot pack judgement

[fervent pebble]

okay dude

[rustic swallow]

umm should I get acrobat

[cosmic sun]

Yea

Could save you

[rustic swallow]

replace clever?

[cosmic sun]

What's your scoring situation without it

[rustic swallow]

should I sell smth with riff raff

[cosmic sun]

Your main hand is pairs or two pair?

[rustic swallow]

flush

lol

[median grove]

is it pointless to have square joker and stuntman in a pair build?

at the same time

[cosmic sun]

yeah it could go

for sure

[cosmic sun]

Maybe you want to get out of Stuntman somehow

[rustic swallow]

Should i sell like constelation for riff raff

supernova*

[cosmic sun]

How high is your nova even

[fervent pebble]

dna is always in the first shop dude

[rustic swallow]

lol 6 cuz im in ante 3

[slow iris]

i bought blank the previous ante 😭

[cosmic sun]

shame cause if it were any other hand scaler you could at least use different hands as discards and still gain mult for your final hand

[rustic swallow]

so sell?

[cosmic sun]

Sell nova, keep clever

[rustic swallow]

ok

[fervent pebble]

accidentally bought an eternal certificate

💔

[cosmic sun]

Me personally I would've just spammed pairs on Nova earlier

[cosmic sun]

Would've been pretty big by ante 3

[median grove]

which of these should i get rid of in a pair build?

on ante 5

stuntman?

even steven?

[cosmic sun]

Square can go tbh, stuntman might be the sole thing keeping you alive with your lack of mult

[median grove]

should i sell it for steel?

steel joker

[cosmic sun]

Yea

Duping Steel Joker would be ideal but you want smth better than even steven

Cause if you want say, blue seals, Stuntman gonna kill your digging potential

[median grove]

it duped stuntman lol so i had to sell one

[cosmic sun]

The raw xmult from steel joker itself should still help

[median grove]

heres what i have now

i feel like dna + steel is pretty good

[cosmic sun]

Yea that's decent scaling

[median grove]

and even steven could probably go at some point

i just have no + mult now

[cosmic sun]

You could maybe get away with another flat mult and then find another xmult joker

[median grove]

i kind of want to sell stuntman and pivot to 4oak

[median grove]

okay thansk

because i have dna and a small deck

[cosmic sun]

If you think you can draw your copies consistently

[frank grove]

kinda weak wee

[toxic wolf]

do i take the gamble on invis

IT WAS A ONE IN FIVE AND THE JONKLER STRIKES AGAIN

[atomic trout]

Bad me

[deft willow]

i lost a game with baron and perkeo bc i didn't have any spectra in my shop

after a late perkeo i got 0 luck

iI am so sad

[toxic wolf]

I’m not gonna naneinf unless i find a dna like right now and even then it’s way too late but it’s still an insane run

[woven spire]

what a snipe

[frank grove]

that was closer than it should've been

[woven spire]

i wanna do gold stake runs so bad now lol

[frank grove]

i love gold stake balatro

[toxic wolf]

Shows up post serpent

ok

[rustic swallow]

um im building a flush deck tips?

[toxic wolf]

Damn. Ggs lmao

[wet burrow]

🙁

love me some plant

[toxic wolf]

The run does end here but i’ll roll wraith for the ultimate snipe brainstorm

I PROMISE I’M NOT CHEATING LMAO

[wet burrow]

that doesnt save u tho

[toxic wolf]

i know but still funny

insane luck

this is probably as far as it goes but man this was the best run ever

[drowsy wharf]

Thought I was dead, chicot high roll of a lifetime

[woven spire]

don’t

[teal thunder]

oh hello perkeo

bruh

i wasnt even trying to go baron build but ig the game decided it for me

just got sixth sense and mime from the same shop

crygn

[frank grove]

🔥

[teal thunder]

nice

[frank grove]

i love when gs runs arent just pairs the whole time

[teal thunder]

they too often end up being pair builds

too op

guh

[frank grove]

sometimes the pair must slop

wee joker just WANTS me today

[teal thunder]

and 6th sense has gifted me with a cryptid

[atomic trout]

What willl it become?

Invisible Joker ready 😄

[teal thunder]

WHY

WHAT MORE COULD I NEED GAME

i wish it werent 💔

INVIS PLEASE COPY BLUEPRINT

YEEEEESSSS

[minor portal]

the dna in question

[teal thunder]

splendid

[median grove]

how do i play pairs in the early antes?

do they rely more on planets and am i missing something

i feel like early game im scoring very low with them, and late game i might as well play 3oak /4oak

what am i missing?

[shadow kite]

you're joking

[minor portal]

don't even joke lad

[ivory flame]

tell me these aint the best nat negatives you’ve ever seen

[median grove]

how did you get so many negatives?

[ivory flame]

luck

and econ

[teal thunder]

murdered dna but now i got the full lineup

smooth sailing from here on out

[median grove]

what is a good level for red card to be at by ante 4-5?

[vocal dragon]

anyone on linux get brainstorm to work?

[scarlet plinth]

What? Is it bugged on that?

[vocal dragon]

i just cant get it to work

[teal thunder]

i wonder if i went overboard

[teal thunder]

wdym

[vocal dragon]

i mean i followed the instructions, installed steam modded lovely and brainstorm and it doesnt work

[fervent pebble]

two pair is so ass

[teal thunder]

just a bit overboard

[teal thunder]

nah its goated

two pair carries

[teal thunder]

ooh ur talking about the mod

maybe ask in #⚙・modding-support

NOW you finally show up

thanks directors cut

[fervent pebble]

green joker and acrobat ante 1 oooo

[teal thunder]

mmm another scrumptious unseeded naneinf

😋

[dreamy saffron]

wouldnt it be cool if i had openclaw ai make an ascii art version of balatro for nds

[fervent pebble]

using ai for what dude

image to ascii sites have existed for years

[dreamy saffron]

its just an idea

i swear

[teal thunder]

openclaw ai sounds like smth people who drink whiteclaw and wear beanies during the summer would use

[dreamy saffron]

the logo is a lobster

[teal thunder]

crazy

ai still sucks and is draining all the drinking water from the planet

[fervent pebble]

how many highcards should i use before switching to pairs for obelisk

[dreamy saffron]

its going back into the air and continuing the water cycle

[teal thunder]

ideally you would do it the other way around

[teal thunder]

[fervent pebble]

not an option

[dreamy saffron]

ok

[teal thunder]

ah rip

how many have you played

[fervent pebble]

12

[teal thunder]

what ante?

[fervent pebble]

3

[teal thunder]

id say you usually dont need obelisk until around ante 4-5

and itd be good to aim for around 20-25 high cards

to give yourself a good buffer

[fervent pebble]

alr thanks

acrobat helps heaps with this

[turbid dove]

Im back

[fervent pebble]

come on dude

[cosmic sun]

you better pray you draw your pairs

high card obelisk start 💀

[fervent pebble]

what

[cosmic sun]

you could draw in a way that just forces you to play hc

which is why people don't start obelisk with hc

[fervent pebble]

itll be fine

[cosmic sun]

get some suit changers, strengths, etc

deaths

[slow iris]

i still remember the days when i wasn't able to get past ante 4 blue deck 🙏 those were the good days

i actually think i had the naninf if i got it

painted deck makes you forget that 8 hand size is the normal

[wet burrow]

had the +3 hand skip in ante 30 and 31, but no burglar

[fervent pebble]

ignore every +multi except supernova, ride the bus, red card and maybe half joker

[timber zodiac]

what about grimbo

[wicked sonnet]

wtf is this challenge 😭

[vestal copper]

quog

[wicked sonnet]

so easy

[heady narwhal]

most +mults are good idk what this person is talking about

[wicked sonnet]

over x1 yorick every round now hooray

[vestal copper]

scalers are the goats but base +mults are worth it too

[wicked sonnet]

but i haven't struggled at all

[fervent pebble]

oh yeah green too

[wicked sonnet]

just play high card

[fervent pebble]

forgot about him

[heady narwhal]

grimbo and bus and redcard are the easiest but you can 100% get by with a dagger or a shoot the moon or a fibonacci or something

[timber zodiac]

High Crar

[wet burrow]

How do I only have 77% progression? 💀

oh it just takes the average of the 4 percents

[fervent pebble]

theyre stuck losing so im telling them to use the easy ones 💔

no duh

310/4

it takes the % numbers of all four stats and averages them

rip

[wicked sonnet]

rather than the total

[heady narwhal]

i don't think it's practical to just keep throwing yourself at a wall until you get one of four specific jokers

[echo sphinx]

challenges time

[wicked sonnet]

that's what i've been doing

challenge time

[heady narwhal]

you'd learn a lot more by at least trying to play out the less fortunate runs

[wicked sonnet]

how do you have 100% joker stickers but 80% deck stake stickers...

c++ before c+

[vestal copper]

i mean its not impossible

[timber zodiac]

ghost deck only or something

[echo sphinx]

anaglyph farming idk

[vestal copper]

black deck only 🧌

that's crazy

[wet burrow]

the negative skips were acrtually so clutch tho, got like at least 30 stickers jsut off that lol

[marsh tartan]

🥹

[heady narwhal]

you spend a lot more time losing and/or needing to use your tags on things that actually help you win

[timber zodiac]

get a 3 win streak on jokerless gold stake black deck and i will jump off my roof (that's a joke)

[wet burrow]

but yeah at the end i was just spamming ghost

[marsh tartan]

[wet burrow]

spectrals in shop is too good

[vestal copper]

📞 doc

[echo sphinx]

seallllllllllllllllll

[wicked sonnet]

that's all i've been doing for now

i'm so much more consistent at ghost

even though anaglyph has higher upside

[slow iris]

oh tell me about it

i've been doing painted++

almost done with it

can't wait to experience this

[wicked sonnet]

i can get 2-3 new stickers with ghost and on anaglyph i normally just get 2-3 anyway

[wet burrow]

one negative skip and u can likely clear multile stickers

[wicked sonnet]

i know

[wet burrow]

but yeah once i got low on remaining stickers i was on ghost

[wicked sonnet]

but i usually just get 2-3 new stickers on anaglyph even with an ante 8 skip

and i win less on anaglyph i'm much better on ghost

[echo sphinx]

sock n bussin

[wicked sonnet]

wouldn't you score higher copying the glass here

i could be wrong

[echo sphinx]

idk but either way this is 100k minimum

[wicked sonnet]

prob would just play the steel then so to not risk the glass

[echo sphinx]

proc all those face card then double it all

nah

[wicked sonnet]

yeah you score higher copying glass

glass copy is 105,446 non copy is 100,141

negligible in the end

[tardy spade]

what is a skip you can confidently say you have never taken on gold stake

ever

I've taken negative skip once or twice, mainly on anaglyph deck when I was first getting gold stickers

[echo sphinx]

uncommon joker

[tardy spade]

not sure I've ever taken d6 tag

[echo sphinx]

ok thats like

everything

uncommon, rare, foil, poly, holo, standard, charm, meteor, etherial, double, top-up, speed

[tardy spade]

I took a standard tag on an anaglyph hologram run

I am going to discount tags I took just for the purpose of skipping (e.g. throwback runs or loyalty card runs)

[echo sphinx]

oops all eternal

[tardy spade]

and I'd say I've never taken d6, speed or meteor for their functionality on gold

[hexed tundra]

Never getting negative skip tag again

[tardy spade]

better than oops all rental

[echo sphinx]

not gold stake atm, but true

economy.

[tardy spade]

this is why you don't take negative skips

[echo sphinx]

lol

if you judgement into a trading card when you've already used a discard can you use the trading card?

[stuck finch]

The game showed pity on me

cant seem to find the stone joker. Do you need to have quite a lot of stone cards?

[echo sphinx]

iirc a stone card needs to exist in the deck first before it has a chace of appearing in the shop

[tranquil umbra]

This is the strongest I think I’ve ever been unseeded on ante 5

yes ace is always +11 chips

you can still form a straight with 5 4 3 2 ace

What's the best course for continuing the run, points wise? Been a minute since I played and I don't remember what the most efficient use for blueprint is

im defo gonna sell 8-ball tho

NO WAY YOU CALLED IT

that would be good ngl

[smoky niche]

how do you play plasma

i cannot figure this deck out

[stone dagger]

Low stake: take a lot of +chips joker
High stake: +chips and ×mult jokers

[willow frost]

step 1: get shoot the moon
step 2: get all the xmult imaginable
step 3: win

[vernal breach]

Man I lost like 20 runs in a row on gold stake kinda tired of the game ://

So how is wee joker

A rare

When it's so ass

[echo sphinx]

how in the fric

[terse vale]

bait

[echo sphinx]

i have dusk and acrobat and STILL DIED

[ivory portal]

No I'm serious

[echo sphinx]

TO THE ONE BOSS THAT HAS ONE HAND

[ivory portal]

Why would I ever get chip jokers

[strange compass]

So cool how the game just refuses to let you draw straights

[echo sphinx]

hi serious, you weigh cihp jokers too little

[forest bolt]

Is it possible to sync mobile to pc

[strange compass]

But ye straights are overhated you guys!!!!!!

[terse vale]

no

[ivory portal]

Yeah

So how

[echo sphinx]

try it

[strange compass]

Wee is overrated tbh

[ivory portal]

Could you tell me how it could be used

[terse vale]

playing 2s

[ivory portal]

When there's way better jokers

[echo sphinx]

its a chip joker
u just score 2??

[strange compass]

Use it with retriggers like chad and hac

[echo sphinx]

square is like
just play 4 cards

[terse vale]

it scales so fast

[ivory portal]

I could do that with better mult jokers

[terse vale]

what

[ivory portal]

Replying to this

[strange compass]

Not that fast if you don't have retriggers

[terse vale]

no

even so it scales enough

[strange compass]

Ok?

[echo sphinx]

AAAAJGHSJGHJGHJSG

[ivory portal]

?

[echo sphinx]

PLASMA BUT NO WEE

[terse vale]

in 2 antes it gets to like 80

[terse vale]

enough to beat the game

at minimum its all the chips you need

[strange compass]

Blatant lying

[terse vale]

you’d only need 10 2s

[strange compass]

Wee is not soloing

[terse vale]

why don’t you guys present points man

I NEVER SAID

IT

just search up wee and go to media

images I mean

[ivory portal]

Useless joker

Worse than a showman

[terse vale]

has 2 be bait now

[ivory portal]

Not bait

[terse vale]

bait

[echo sphinx]

8 chip per scored 2

planet is strong cuz it gives chips and

it gives 15.

[ivory portal]

I just think it's ass

[echo sphinx]

for just scoring 2 two times wee joker gains a planet level's worth of cihps

[strange compass]

I think square and runner are better

[terse vale]

how is square better

[strange compass]

Even stuntman kinda better cuz it gives 200 chips immediately

Which is really all you need.

[echo sphinx]

and planets cost $3 each

[ivory portal]

💯💯💯

[strange compass]

Anything above 200 is extra

[ivory portal]

💯💯💯

[terse vale]

how is square better :?

[ivory portal]

Demote wee joker

[echo sphinx]

3 square hands < pair

[strange compass]

It's more agnostic and likely to work with other jokers and it encourages pairs

[queen kindle]

YEA BABY WOO BABY
THE MASAYOSHI TAKANAKA MOD I GOT IS HITTING

[strange compass]

Wee without retriggers is not all that

[terse vale]

WEE IS AGNOSTIC ITS LIKELY TO WORK WITH OTHER JOKERS AND ITS ALSO A PAIR INDIFFERENT JOKER

[echo sphinx]

lol and scoring 2 isnt?

[terse vale]

YOU can play it with pairs man

[strange compass]

Not rlly?

[echo sphinx]

just score 2 bro

[strange compass]

You have to play 2s

[echo sphinx]

how hard can it be

[ivory portal]

U right

[terse vale]

literally all you need to get to 80 chips is play 10 2s

[terse vale]

so what

[ivory portal]

No

Still useless

[strange compass]

It's less so.

Square is just better

[echo sphinx]

bruh

[queen kindle]

WOA

[echo sphinx]

one rank

[terse vale]

i’m not explaining simple arithmetic to you

[echo sphinx]

literally just one rank bro

6 5 4 3 2

it beats square

[terse vale]

play 2s

80 chips is 10 2s

[ivory portal]

Still useless

Just give me my popcorn

[stuck finch]

You know what's not useless? Any of you. 😁

But Vampire is poopy

[terse vale]

just throw them in

throw the fucking rank into your hand

2s are a rank and they can be used in hands

free chip scaling

now give me a real point in response man

[ivory portal]

2 is small number

I play king only

[strange compass]

Square can get 48 chips each ante (4x4=16 each blind) so in two it'll be 96

Again, wee outpaces it when you get retriggers

But without them it's not that special.

[terse vale]

given that you use all hands wee can get 48 easy man

[echo sphinx]

lol

[terse vale]

the fact that retriggers are available for it makes it even better

[echo sphinx]

bros trying to argue with math when he's not even thinking of wee joker's math

[strange compass]

You can keep using all hands after 25$. Before that you can do half build ups and play some 5 card hand

[echo sphinx]

@strange compass do us a favor and calculate wee joker's

[strange compass]

Wee gets more chips but that doesn't make it better cuz chips are not that meaningful after 200+

[echo sphinx]

i said calculate the math

[ivory portal]

Y'all still arguing about this 😭

[echo sphinx]

om

I like how you're the first guy to say wee joker is just ok cuz mult scales better

[quaint stag]

for how much vampire requires to work compared to other scaling xmult jokers it should at least be like 1.2x mult

[echo sphinx]

meanwhile tyler is saying words

[terse vale]

what does square have over wee then

[ivory portal]

I mean

That's what I said at first

[terse vale]

wee scales with retriggers and scales faster

[ivory portal]

I was just agreeing with that dude cus it's funny

[quaint stag]

wee is literally the best chips joker in the game lol

[terse vale]

is agnostic and it doesn’t matter what hand you play

[ivory portal]

I think chips joker are useless

And they're not even that fun to play

[terse vale]

no you don’t man

[strange compass]

Idc for the high ceiling of Wee, my point is that 200 chips is all you need so if you get them to 200 youre gucci

[shell dagger]

it used to be +0.2x and it was busted

[echo sphinx]

i said calculate the math

[quaint stag]

bro has never played plasma deck purple stake and above

[terse vale]

here

1 x 10 = 10

5 x 6 = 30

[echo sphinx]

200 is not gucci either

[terse vale]

so you agree wee is better

[ivory portal]

So only on one deck they're good

Alright

Got it

[echo sphinx]

unless you're playing

[ivory portal]

✌️✌️✌️

[quaint stag]

it kinda does make sense even w midas mask it still requires large hands to scale effectively

[shell dagger]

nah vampire is fine

[ivory portal]

HOLY SHIT NEGATIBE DUSK HELL YEAJH

Don't mind the scary face

[quaint stag]

the only gripe i have with vamp is stone cards not counting towards a flush if their suit is taken by vamp

[echo sphinx]

ehhh

chip joker is the alternative to planets
no matter what the red number is, its multiplied by the chip

[quaint stag]

bait of that level will not work on me

smh

[queen kindle]

this music mod is too powerful i just got a very goated build from it

[terse vale]

there are actual breathing people who think like this to be fair

[queen kindle]

i one shot the blind

[terse vale]

whats mad joker doing 😭

[echo sphinx]

gg

[queen kindle]

being a cornerstone of the build hop off

[quaint stag]

what

[strange compass]

Yes but my OG point was that Wee is slightly overrated because what it does isn't something so affirmable and unique and I provided examples of runner and square as to say they can get by as well.

[shell dagger]

wee isn’t rated highly because it is unique though

[terse vale]

you said they were better

[shell dagger]

it’s rated highly because it scales crazy fast

[strange compass]

In my opinion yes.

[strange compass]

I also have used Wee less than them

[quaint stag]

runner requires you to play straights for 15 chips per straight played

square requires 4 cards for 4 chips per hand

if you were to play a pair of two you would outscale both

[echo sphinx]

god forbid making a 3oak of 2

[quaint stag]

it's significantly easier to play a rank of card then a specific hand

[strange compass]

I guess but the condition for square specifically is fine I think.

[echo sphinx]

this thought is never gonna reach him

[strange compass]

And runner can scale fast

[quaint stag]

square is fine but it scales really slowly which can hurt

[vestal copper]

id take trading card ngl

[strange compass]

Okay bronchitis infection

[quaint stag]

pulling straights consistently is difficult early and requires a lot more deck fixing then just making twos

[ancient gyro]

that's enough outta you

[echo sphinx]

6.7

six seven vampire

[quaint stag]

john vampire himself showed up my bad og

[terse vale]

#They are saying square and runner is better than wee

[ancient gyro]

yes it took me 7 minutes to find this shut up

[echo sphinx]

god forbid playing this twice

[stone shell]

+1.2x per enhancement is crazy

[ancient gyro]

im not brave enough to enter in that conversation

[echo sphinx]

god forbid red sticker or venus mars scaling

[terse vale]

ok fair

[echo sphinx]

respect

[quaint stag]

wee is goated asf

[fringe nebula]

that is my daily dose of white staker take

please get more experience and learn the game, thank you

[strange compass]

Ye that makes sense now that you put it like this. Just making 2s, I was thinking more of the two pair synergy with square early game and all the pair supporting jokers.

[vestal copper]

this is worse than white stake

[ancient gyro]

7 minutes to find a seed and the joker for said seed to prove a stupid point, imagine another 7 or more minutes for an equally worse take 💔

[echo sphinx]

even white stake wold unga spam 2s, idk abt this chef

[quaint stag]

very true

realistically though pairs are always gonna be the best hand

[ancient gyro]

there were more but I was limited to 10 images so I had to omit the good steel joker numbers and more black deck wins. the deck fixing was also omitted 🥀

[vestal copper]

how many balala images do u even have

[fringe nebula]

the mouth is such a hard boss blind to beat

[strange compass]

Ye I was a little pair brained with my opinion on Wee

I still feel it's a bit overrated thoooo

[shell dagger]

what would you rate it as

[quaint stag]

lucky card two with red seals + wee + hack 🤑🤑🤑

[strange compass]

Also I am lowkey mad cuz I am on Abandoned gold stake now and throughout all the stake I didn't find a single wee

[fringe nebula]

wee is a rare

[strange compass]

Like that's the deck for wee

[quaint stag]

ironically this was how i beat plasma goldstake

[strange compass]

And I don't get it

[fringe nebula]

shouldn't have expect it to appear

[strange compass]

7 or 6

[shell dagger]

on a tierlist

[strange compass]

High A tier

[shell dagger]

buh

[echo sphinx]

buh

[shell dagger]

what kind of tierlist are you seeing

where people put it higher than that

[quaint stag]

"oh boy i sure do wonder what joker i'll get from this rare skiptag"

Credit card

pray™

[echo sphinx]

lets go gambling

[ivory portal]

I got reserved parking

[strange compass]

Maybe but I think the tierlist itself is subjective like, how do you rank Baron and Idol because they are not that good in ante 8 games but in endless they are top tier

[echo sphinx]

rip

[echo sphinx]

u can fix the tierlist ranking to ante8 runs and declare it as such

[vestal copper]

ripserved parking

[vestal copper]

endless doesn't exist

[strange compass]

This game does not exist either

[ivory portal]

Neither do u

[shell dagger]

lowly

[ancient gyro]

better or more unconditional? 2s are usually one of the first ranks I kill so wee is less unconditional in that sense.

now for the scaling numbers, wee is self explanatory. assuming no rank modifications and card draw frequency, pair of 2s > runner > squimbo.

squimbo is hand agnostic. runner scaling frequency can be scaled via cutting cards. wee has both of those in addition to more accessible joker synergies.

ignoring rarity for obvious reasons

[strange compass]

I get that but naneinf has its own appeal

People just think it's cool to see big numbers

[ancient gyro]

enjoy it before the most common methods get axed because the creator doesn't balance the game around it

[strange compass]

Rlly?

[ancient gyro]

yes

[strange compass]

I thought Thunk liked that the game has a "end screen"

[ancient gyro]

this was told months ago

[strange compass]

I think that's strange cuz my and many other people's first look of Balatro was seeing some crazy endless run or naneinf

[ancient gyro]

serpent burger, chicots, crimson bean, are all going to be extinct next update

[strange compass]

Will there be new methods?

[ivory portal]

Paredoilia

And reserved parking

[ancient gyro]

the game ends at ante 8, idk what you expected for a game that doesn't balance around a narrow niche of jokers in endless

[ivory portal]

Works right

[terse vale]

ya

[ancient gyro]

why would there

[ivory portal]

Thank you Mr chips

[terse vale]

[ancient gyro]

thunk doesn't like endless

[ivory portal]

The game starts at endless bro

Fiytb

[strange compass]

Most popular Balatro clips are naneinf and endless stuff also I think endless and ante 8 can coexist

It kinda coexisting rn

[ancient gyro]

not by choice

that's why he's fixing it

[ancient gyro]

do you think he would be the guy that cares about artificial numbers

he doesn't give a damn

which is nice

for creativity

[strange compass]

I mean yes? It literally just makes the game popular and I don't doubt the fact that a good portion of Bala players came from after seeing some YouTube video of endless runs

[ivory portal]

I ran into a wee joker

[atomic trout]

Flushes sucks

[ivory portal]

I gotta restart the run now

😭😭😭

[strange compass]

The devil

[molten thicket]

endless is cool let ppl like endless

[ancient gyro]

again, he doesn't give a damn

[ivory portal]

THANK YOU

[ancient gyro]

what you say isnt going to change his end result plans which he's already stated in here before many times throughout the months

[strange compass]

Yes it is an appeal to this game. Alot of people just like there's some like post credit scene gameplay left after ante 8

I thought naneinf was fully intentional

[ancient gyro]

it wasn't :)

[molten thicket]

hm i think im missing some context

[strange compass]

Would make sense to me that the game dev would wanna make a special game end screen.

[molten thicket]

it def isnt lol

[ancient gyro]

just you

[strange compass]

Nah lol

Go outside the discord

[ancient gyro]

feel free to disagree, it's not going to change his intentions

[ivory portal]

Tyler u goat

[strange compass]

Most videos on Balala mention naneinf

[ivory portal]

Tyler my goat

🥹🥹🥹

It's you and me against the world

[strange compass]

Ok ty but you don't need to glaze twin

[ivory portal]

U deserve it twin

[molten thicket]

ok i think youre missing the point

[strange compass]

Yeh ik but still

[molten thicket]

i think what hes trying to say is that thunk will change sth in regards to endless and theres nothing that will change his mind

[ancient gyro]

still what

[ancient gyro]

I tried

I mean you can talk to him if you wanna convince your ideals

[strange compass]

He said that Thunk doesn't like endless at all

[molten thicket]

woah thats so cool

[molten thicket]

and he does

[ivory portal]

Wow Japan and shi

[molten thicket]

kinda

[ivory portal]

💗

[strange compass]

I meant like go to YT, Reddit etc

[ancient gyro]

japanisu

[ivory portal]

😭

[ancient gyro]

oh

The other communities of Balatro

[ivory portal]

LMAOOOO

[ancient gyro]

I thought you meant like outside outside

[echo sphinx]

havnet been to osaka in a long while

[strange compass]

Bro flexx his trip on me for no reason 😞

[ancient gyro]

im gonna try to visit local places more often to bring some more recognition to their community that's been struggling to keep up against tourism

[molten thicket]

also when you're talking abt thunk "chopping" endless are you talking abt the serpent change

[ancient gyro]

im not doing that, those places are insufferable in terms of variety

[ancient gyro]

serpent, chicot, bean, etc

all are confirmed to be fixed

[strange compass]

If he doesn't then it's his choice but endless is very popular with casual fans funnily enough, it's basically another branch of the "big number" factor that makes everyone graviate towards photchad

[ancient gyro]

which leaves perkeo specific options which are unclear if that will be changed or not

[molten thicket]

beans getting fixed??

[ancient gyro]

mhm

[molten thicket]

chicots getting fixed????

hmm

[ancient gyro]

it was an unintentional interaction

[tight pike]

God I have been wrong about some jokers

[molten thicket]

i understand that serpent has to change but

[molten thicket]

oh are you talking abt bugs?

[strange compass]

I like YT and the occasional reddit post that pops up. Like today I saw a post from r/Balatro with a "Donate to Mr Bones" mechanic screen where you can donate him your money and Jimbo shames you for donating less

[molten thicket]

like crimson bean and dupe chicot bug?
