[median grove]

any specific deckfixing for a pair build? like is it bad to be adding a lot of cards and have a bigger deck

[split rivet]

another day another jokerless defeat

[median grove]

or does it not make a difference

[molten thicket]

enhancement prob gold, glass, ...

[median grove]

i guess i want to be pushing for 3oak / 4oak regardless

[molten thicket]

depends

[woven spire]

in that case glass

[long zodiac]

Yeah i lucked into a blueprint and burnt joker combo

[woven spire]

prolly red

[long zodiac]

My pair got to like level 75 by ante 8

[woven spire]

holy

[molten thicket]

generally you should try and copy blue/purple seals

[median grove]

okay thanks

[woven spire]

FUCK perkeo

could have been a yorick or a canio

NO

perkeo.

[burnt topaz]

And that’s the final green stake down

[long zodiac]

Nvm it was lvl 65 not 75 but I had a judgment bp from that run i think

[burnt topaz]

Gotta admit starting with foil cartomancer and fortune teller as my first 2 jokers was Lucky, also having a lot of aces and sevens

A lot of which became Lucy

[burnt topaz]

Lucky*

[woven spire]

well maybe i do like perkeo

[molten thicket]

why we complaining abt perkeo

[woven spire]

I like Xmult better ngl

[worthy tinsel]

funny checkered 4F

[long zodiac]

At least it wasnt chicot

[molten thicket]

woah

[long zodiac]

Chicot is like only good for ante 8 boss blinds imo

[molten thicket]

first time ive seen anyone diss chicot in a long time

[pure schooner]

Is invis joker even worth here

[molten thicket]

no

what would you even sell

[waxen dagger]

okay but liek how did we go from 14m to 300m 😭 😭

[pure schooner]

Id prolly sell buskin

[molten thicket]

def not

[pure schooner]

Im gonna try to hokd out for an idol

My deck is almost online

[waxen dagger]

this is impossible

[long zodiac]

Most naneinf runs are like on white stake

Has anyone naneinfed on something that isn’t white stake?

[waxen dagger]

do you need the naneinf strat to beat high antes?

[molten thicket]

ppl have naneinfed on gold stake

[long zodiac]

I mean i havent gotten all that far in unmodded endless mode

[molten thicket]

many times

[long zodiac]

Yeah i was just stupid

[molten thicket]

wdym

how high is high antes

[waxen dagger]

liek billions

[molten thicket]

what do you mean by "naneinf strat"

like serpent burglar?

[molten thicket]

oh thats trivial

[worthy tinsel]

nice combo

[waxen dagger]

barron mime red seal kings

[molten thicket]

there are a ton of ways to reach billions

[waxen dagger]

it increases at an absurd rate

[molten thicket]

baron mime isnt needed for that

a standard idol build can reach around e92 with glass?

[shell dagger]

e100

[rustic haven]

pairslopmaxxing

[molten thicket]

not e100

[waxen dagger]

standard??

[shell dagger]

standard means no nat negatives

[waxen dagger]

i dont think id call that necessarily standard 😭

[molten thicket]

e100 is way too high

idol caps score quick

and there's basically no way to increase it more

[waxen dagger]

i dont think this can go very high

[molten thicket]

it is standard

[median grove]

best jokers with shoot the moon?

besides mime

or is it just general xmult?

or do i need chips because im playing hc

[molten thicket]

no specific pairings

[shell dagger]

2 ecto setup

[distant thunder]

yippeee new high score :D

[molten thicket]

oh right you can afford 2 ectos in f5

wait shouldnt this be higher then

[buoyant crater]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[molten thicket]

oh f5's at lv1

[rustic haven]

do i pick this up over anything? good synergy with pairslop yeah?

[median grove]

troubador

?

[molten thicket]

good

[median grove]

and i guess blue seals and red seal steels

and maybe steel joker

[shell dagger]

and no steels in hand

[median grove]

earlier

[shell dagger]

bunch of things that increase score without needing rng

[molten thicket]

tbh you aren't keeping steels in hand when playing f5

[shell dagger]

you can in the serpent

[molten thicket]

its a very kinda minor score increase that takes a lot of effort

and can kill you in non-serpent rounds

[distant thunder]

if your vamp is low and if ya scale him with only pairs than replace vampire with it

until ya get a stronger times joker at least

[shell dagger]

the point where glass vs steel would kill ypu in that setup is ante 25 vs 26

[rustic haven]

vamp is 1.7 and will climb with all the enhancements i have once i roll them

[shell dagger]

so not really

[woven spire]

3 decks for c+

[molten thicket]

wdym

oh ok

[shell dagger]

yeah if you get blueprints early then u stay lucky for longer

[woven spire]

use?

is this a bug

[molten thicket]

prob doesn't do anything

[woven spire]

true

[median grove]

blue seals or gold seals with shoot the moon?

i guess blue seals are better with mime

and gold cards are better as opposed to seals

[steady marten]

Wsg guys

[steady marten]

I'd go blue

[woven spire]

any advice for painted?

[humble gulch]

Straights

[woven spire]

maakes sense, ive never done a straight run, never so i dont really know much how to build around it

could give it a try tho

[humble gulch]

Any +mult works, straights scale really agressively too

With good levels you only need ×mult or steel

[vernal breach]

Wish there was a deck with the shortcut joker property

[woven spire]

i see

alr, thx, ill give it a try

[strong willow]

Fastest pivot of my life

[long zodiac]

Im sorry, what?

[manic kettle]

Judgement in shop gave me a Baron, it's destiny

[strong willow]

Blue, because you want to leave your queens in hand, not play them. If it were gold cards I'd say gold, but not if they're gold seals

[strong willow]

Ante 2 death incoming

Not the tarot card

[manic kettle]

the famous every joker and card disabled ante 2 boss blind

[strong willow]

The automatic uninstall Balatro boss blind

[manic kettle]

this seed is insane

[quaint stag]

blue

always blue seals

[obsidian lotus]

should I take pareidola?$

[humble gulch]

No

[obsidian lotus]

ok

[obsidian lotus]

even if this is my deck?

[edgy lance]

balatro

[polar ice]

Doing one of the challenges and I'm wondering if I should nab the Stone Joker (+375) as I don't have any real chips jokers. Should I dump something for it?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[obsidian lotus]

ok thanks

[humble gulch]

Probably sock

[polar ice]

OK will check on the calculator

[median grove]

how should i deckfix around a pair build?

[obsidian lotus]

Should I take trading card?

[median grove]

what are the best cards to focus on?

[polar ice]

Yup...doubles the score...thx

[humble gulch]

Yes, drop DNA

[humble gulch]

You don't really need deck fixing

Try to get blue seals

[rain adder]

Double ride the bus we trust

[obsidian lotus]

ait

[humble gulch]

And that's it

[median grove]

but i guess its good to potentially pivot to 3oak / 4oak anyway

[humble gulch]

You don't really have to if you only want to win

[median grove]

yeah i just want to beat blue chip

but i guess if i have runner joker i should deckfix around straights in the mean time?

[humble gulch]

Then no, you only need light deck fixing

[humble gulch]

Yeah, that's fine

[terse imp]

Tf do I do

[humble gulch]

Skip

[obsidian lotus]

Do I take chad?

[green dragon]

You have photograph. Obviously take it

[humble gulch]

Dusk

[obsidian lotus]

replace cavendish with dusk?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[obsidian lotus]

and do I take chad?

[humble gulch]

If you want

[green dragon]

You have photograph yes take it

[obsidian lotus]

replace sock then?

[humble gulch]

No

Trading

[obsidian lotus]

okjok

[manic kettle]

the plant got me </3 didnt have reroll voucher

[green dragon]

No

[young idol]

Nice try

[weary idol]

did i fall for bait? it was from reddit

[green dragon]

Check the tag

[young idol]

Yes, it’s bait

[weary idol]

i feel upset and betrayed

[night bridge]

nice

[echo sphinx]

lets go gambling

chips, mult, xmult

cant ask for more

[waxen dagger]

THIS IS SO PEAM

[lyric moat]

Finally beat Orange stake on checker deck

[drowsy rain]

Should I do a baron run or an idol run?

[obsidian lotus]

should I?

[humble gulch]

No, you don't need more copies of those jokers

Bruh

[obsidian lotus]

lmao

[green dragon]

Sorry

[weak relic]

Reminds me of those silkposters

Fun times indeed

[atomic trout]

So cloooose

[green dragon]

Omg yeah

[median grove]

okay ty

is to do list and vagabond a good combo?

or no

i dont really know how to play vagabond and have good econ at the same time

i guess cloud 9 + vagabond is better?

[fiery nymph]

🥀

[atomic trout]

I think I lost

[echo sphinx]

yeah theres no way my greed can get in the way of winning

[atomic trout]

Credit Card

[waxen dagger]

here we go again

[median grove]

oh true

[echo sphinx]

antisynergy

[median grove]

yeah for sure

[waxen dagger]

i hate vvessel

[median grove]

how do i build econ and play around vagabond at the same time?

[waxen dagger]

but i just need to get 600k

[echo sphinx]

cash procs after winning a hand

devil triggers is one

[atomic trout]

What is Cash Out?

[echo sphinx]

and with enough cash from this u can still "build interest"

[median grove]

oh true

okay thanks

[echo sphinx]

lets go winning

[rustic haven]

bro im deadass failing to win black deck white stake HAHA

ive had like 7 losses in a row

[echo sphinx]

this castle worth right

[rustic haven]

50/50

cuz like

[echo sphinx]

eternal rental

however

its on checkered

[rustic haven]

it can still land on diamonds clubs

[echo sphinx]

it doesnt work like ancient

somehow

[rustic haven]

wait ur saying it

cant land on those?

[echo sphinx]

it lands on the suits that exists in the hand

[rustic haven]

i did not know that

i thought it was all

i see

then lowkey

ante 1 too

thats wild scaling

[tawdry galleon]

My fathers first Balatro game

[rustic haven]

wheres that one person that hates bloodstone

lesbian something

[tawdry galleon]

I love bloodstone because I love gambling

[echo sphinx]

so much gamblin

[atomic trout]

Damn. Another defeat

[rustic haven]

REAL

[echo sphinx]

this start so cursed lol

[shell dagger]

ancient is the only one that works like ancient tho

[echo sphinx]

eternal rental castle

[frank notch]

do i take certificate here

[shell dagger]

u cant

[echo sphinx]

hologram
TAKE IT, YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT

[obsidian lotus]

ot was a good run

[frank notch]

pair at level 5

[shell dagger]

don’t take it then

[echo sphinx]

and rocket that's only covering its own cost

[echo sphinx]

bros forsaking Hologram its reliable scaling

[woven spire]

well

[night bridge]

Plus he could get a blue seal

[woven spire]

i fucking hate painted too

[rustic haven]

chipmaxxing

[frank notch]

i love incantation

genuine run saver

and fuels vampire too

[random lark]

immolate is the true run saver

[echo sphinx]

lets go make some money

[zinc zephyr]

Yay I win

[echo sphinx]

m o n i s

[rustic haven]

CHIPMAXXING

[zinc zephyr]

First naneinf !!!

[frank notch]

1 more painted run left

[shell dagger]

he loses minimum 2x of score rn if he takes it

[echo sphinx]

FROM WHATTT

[frank notch]

reliable scaling doesnt mean winning

[shell dagger]

selling the weakest link

square

[frank notch]

square gave me 2x mult technically from chips

by selling square for card sharp i halved my score on the first hand but x1.5'd it on the rest

[median grove]

after i get + 100 chiips on runner joker, should i switch to playing pairs?

[rustic haven]

dna or buskin?

lowk buskin just wins run here no?

[shell dagger]

you don’t need to

[frank notch]

but if i sold it for certificate it would just half my score

[rustic haven]

its white stake lmao

[shell dagger]

just keep scaling it when you can

[median grove]

but i thought runner joker is a pair joker not a straight joker

[echo sphinx]

sixty chips being a lot is a bit thonk
cuz usually id ont thin of 60 chips as more than like 4 planets

[shell dagger]

it is but that doesnt stop you from never playing straights again

[frank notch]

chips are still strong

[shell dagger]

it becomes +76 in the next round which is 2x score on a level 5 pair

[echo sphinx]

which is hella illegal lol but agree

[frank notch]

certificate would also have bloated my deck, making it harder to find enhanced cards and feed vampire

[shell dagger]

ok that’s not really true

[tawdry galleon]

Holy shop pull from father

[shell dagger]

purple seals scale vampire really fast

[rustic haven]

gg

[frank notch]

i had hallucination and vagabond (both perishable) early to jumpstart teller and vampy

[frank notch]

its ggs

[woven spire]

im sorry wee, u have to go...

[frank notch]

amazing start

[obsidian lotus]

who to blue print?

[echo sphinx]

yeah thats a bug

[jolly relic]

erm actually thats a joker

[late bay]

What a great start to my ghost gold

[jolly relic]

sell photo

[vestal copper]

here win 😭

me when eternal

[humble gulch]

Chad

[obsidian lotus]

thc

[jolly relic]

you should get dna so everything matches

[obsidian lotus]

hahaha so true

[median grove]

how to imrpove this pair run?

i feel like i have all good pair jokers but im not scoring very highly

i guess x mult?

[vestal copper]

are your chips good

[dim anchor]

It just doesn't really have too much synergy

[jolly relic]

i think about it all the time

[obsidian lotus]

since when is mail in rebate 5 i thought it was 4

[gentle basalt]

Whats the point of vagabond with pair jokers?

[jolly relic]

vagabond is always awesome

[gentle basalt]

The use of vagabond is to deckfix to stronger hands

[jolly relic]

anything pair related is poop

[median grove]

im getting + 120 from runner, i guess thats decent

[echo sphinx]

devil justice chariot, death for blue seal too ig

[median grove]

what do you think?

[vestal copper]

yeah thats not bad

[errant bolt]

eternal runner is a weird pick for a pair build, even if poly

[vestal copper]

xmult could be huge

[vestal copper]

clueless

[gentle basalt]

Justice and chariot is useless with his current build

[errant bolt]

wha

[jolly relic]

pairs are trash

[gentle basalt]

What are you on about

[vestal copper]

runner can cover up the lack of chips from pairs

[obsidian lotus]

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[vestal copper]

real

[gentle basalt]

Eternal runner is strong with pairs, poly is added bonus

[median grove]

i guess im looking for lucky cat or steel or something

[errant bolt]

i mean ig if you're transitioning from straights to pairs

[echo sphinx]

that is mostly true however let him cook and pivot

[rustic haven]

@tawdry galleon i need amother gambling addicts opinion

[gentle basalt]

Dude you just play pairs, and then mix in straights when you find them
Your main hand always remains pairs

[jolly relic]

omg balatro is woke

[vocal rose]

?

[vestal copper]

always was

[errant bolt]

interesting

[vocal rose]

runner is hand agnostic

[gentle basalt]

How is he pivoting in ante 8 with zero evon jokers and 4$ in bank

[errant bolt]

so the runner is to make up for lack of chip scaling then

[vocal rose]

you can spam straights and then pivot into pairs

[echo sphinx]

let him cook

[rustic haven]

i have a small chance that it makes everything a face card... but not completely 0...

[vocal rose]

runner IS chip scaling

[rustic haven]

fuck it

[errant bolt]

yeah that's what i meant

[echo sphinx]

oh my gambling.

[torpid notch]

Checkered or yellow deck?

[vestal copper]

dont

[errant bolt]

like lack of chip scaling from the planets

[obsidian lotus]

Is there anything to save me from plant?

[rustic haven]

LETS GO NEVER PUNISHED OOPS ALL KINGS!!!

[vocal rose]

glass cards

?

do you have any

[obsidian lotus]

1

[errant bolt]

i'm very used to spamming one type of hand over and over xd

[vocal rose]

yikes

[obsidian lotus]

ikr

[vocal rose]

yeah roll down for more glass

glass numbered cards

[obsidian lotus]

but none of the jokers here

I have a glass 2

[open vale]

should i attempt the turle bean glitch?

[obsidian lotus]

with +50 chips

[vestal copper]

👁️

[torpid notch]

Should i do yellow deck ot checkered?

[shell dagger]

no

not here

[vestal copper]

yellow

[open vale]

im a too far into the game to do it?

[median grove]

im trying baron + mime for the first time! i just unlocked plasma deck

[open vale]

even tho i can infi reroll

[median grove]

any tips?

[shell dagger]

no, you’re not close enough to a finisher boss

[open vale]

so even if i reroll i wont get it

[shell dagger]

correct

[obsidian lotus]

would this save me from plant?

[vestal copper]

kings, steel, hand size buffs

[rustic haven]

theres an imposter in here I forgot to weed out... smh

[vestal copper]

gold for econ

[empty silo]

do I go for it, and if so what do I sell?

[echo sphinx]

SO MANY OPTIONS

CAN I TAKE IT ALL???

[median grove]

hand size buffs like through vouchers?

[waxen dagger]

almost there

[vestal copper]

vouchers and jokers

hi mintie

[median grove]

like triboulet?

[waxen dagger]

omg hai snail

[rustic haven]

sell the one that breaks the card on discard no? the money for destroy card one, forgor the name

[empty silo]

I'm going to skip it cus it's a 1/5 that it's useful and I can't really sell anything

[rustic haven]

$1 bp bro

[empty silo]

I need that for idol deck shaping

[vestal copper]

nope

[empty silo]

if it doesn't hit rn I die

[vestal copper]

baron punishes high hands

[rustic haven]

there are other ways tho, esp if u get perkeo

[vestal copper]

high card is your way to go

[rustic haven]

bp perkeo for death/hanged

i mean yeah, 20% chance it IS perkeo

[waxen dagger]

youve gotta be trolling me

[empty silo]

okay so 40% chance it's useful

[rustic haven]

but shi lowkey id gamble

[rustic haven]

p much

[errant brook]

I know. But been grinding to get gold stake naneinf and Baron often never shows up, making the grind even harder. Seeing both of these guys in ante 1 was a first. But then I saw absolutely no other good jokers in ante 2 with no deck fixing either so it didn’t matter

[tawdry galleon]

Gambling

[rustic haven]

odds are low, but thats how i enjoy them

indeed

gambling is good

for the brain

[tawdry galleon]

Hm?

[rustic haven]

oh nvm it was

[empty silo]

question is, should I sell chad or trading card
scored ~300 billion last round but it was a 4oak on jacks (flush fives are leveled)

[rustic haven]

taken care of

[tawdry galleon]

Oh ok

[empty silo]

I think I sell chad cus it hit kings and those are polychrome

[rustic haven]

i went for this to get all face cards

[waxen dagger]

please give me a credit card PLEASE

[rustic haven]

and got all kings

lmao

[empty silo]

alright bye bye chad let's see what it is

[vestal copper]

me when game rewards horrible play

[empty silo]

TRIB

ITS TRIB

HOLY WORTH IT

absolute CINEMA

[tawdry galleon]

Btw final update on the fathers first Balatro game situation:
he won violet vessel with 2.7m with brainstorm and baseball card with a ton of glass hearts

[rustic haven]

yea chads a solid drop tbh

[rustic haven]

fire

not as good at perkeo

but

fire

[serene forge]

i guess that makes more sense

gold stake endless is rough for sure

[empty silo]

let's see what this scores

oh hey e16

[rustic haven]

fire

[empty silo]

this might be a high score run if I get those kings lucky

hey it's bloodstone

[tawdry galleon]

Fire

[empty silo]

now what do I sell

should I?

cus I wanna go for high score rn

wait if I'm going for high score bye bye trading card

[rustic haven]

ez white stake wins finally jeez

literally 8th try on this stupid fucking deck

white stake too

yeah anything red stake and above im fucked

[empty silo]

alright, go potential high score!

[rustic haven]

im am horribly ass

[empty silo]

e17

dang my high score's e24

[vestal copper]

improve

[rustic haven]

indeed twin

[empty silo]

wait a second that e24 was on modded

NEW HIGH SCORE

[rustic haven]

lmao

[empty silo]

okay I got lucky on two of the kings

[terse imp]

who's playing baron mime

[empty silo]

and we got a mult lucky hit first score

so high score is now 8e17

idol hit again

[woven spire]

thats expensive holy

[polar ice]

Ran into a bug in the 5-Card Challenge. After Immolating, I cannot choose any of the other options, nor can I skip. I can get past it by returning to the main menu and then skipping

[rustic haven]

more like not possible to obtain

you can never have that slice

[polar ice]

oh...bug report channel

[modest snow]

it does not have a price

[rustic haven]

its infinite, but you can never have infinity

[polar ice]

will report there

[modest snow]

its price is not a number

[empty silo]

chat idol missed I might be dead here

[rustic haven]

infinity is infinite but there is no infinity

[exotic silo]

idea for wild cards(perhaps a bit confusing for Balatro's sake but I'll throw it out here):

• In addition to its current effects: it can also count as any rank in poker hands. Counts as its original suit for everything else(jokers mainly)

[woven spire]

people when you make a joke about naneinf:

[rustic haven]

[jolly relic]

gnarly

[echo sphinx]

lol

[modest snow]

what is that joker lineup

[woven spire]

what is that build

fr 😭

[empty silo]

so with idol missing my score is e12 and I need e13

but I just found a nice seltzer

[jolly relic]

good ones

[exotic silo]

eh, I can see that build working just fine if you can play flush five all polychrome low rank cards

[empty silo]

so do I sell bloodstone or idol? going for high score not longevity

[jolly relic]

photo

[empty silo]

it's eternal

otherwise he'd be dead a while ago

[jolly relic]

get banana instead

for mult

[woven spire]

i love it

[slow iris]

bloodstone

[empty silo]

I'm scoring e16 I don't think 15 mult will help

new question, is blueprint good on sock or should I move it? no red seals sadly

[woven spire]

dont fall for the bait

[exotic silo]

ngl I was waiting for them to say, "I don't care. Sell it." because it's quite obvious they're joking

[woven spire]

it is

[jolly relic]

maybe sell photo then

[exotic silo]

what's the closest one has gotten to naneinf without getting to it?

[empty silo]

passed the blind, idol missed again

[atomic trout]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

[empty silo]

scored e15

[shell dagger]

I’ve seen 1.797e308

[empty silo]

so I just gotta hope idol hits next try

ECTOPLASM

get in here

[shell dagger]

Can’t get any closer than that and have it look different on the scoreboard

[gilded falcon]

Balatro challenge where all your cards are 6s and you have an Eternal 6th Sense?

[empty silo]

then just dont play high card

this one glass I've played each round 2 antes in a row and hasn't broken yet

[gentle basalt]

Why is this hard?

[empty silo]

wait IDOL HIT

I didn't notice omg

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[empty silo]

going for high score

e21!!!

idol hits again

time for more glass

how am I still alive bro 😭

btw my previous high score was like 16 million

[versed sable]

not even over e50, imagine

[empty silo]

you don't know how much I suck at this game

I'm yet to beat a gold stake run

[fiery nymph]

😣

[empty silo]

chat it's an ankh

do I take it /j

oh wait idol missed

this might be gg

but I do have $100

[narrow scroll]

sighhh
could have been any other boss blind (maybe other than crimson heart)
and i would have won...

[empty silo]

DUSK

HOLY MOLY

guys chad's back

[narrow scroll]

violet vessel is so tough man

[empty silo]

is blueprint optimal?

I think I put it on trib right?

cus dusk

[versed sable]

You have 1 scoring effect on the card and 1 trigger

then you have

[empty silo]

(almost played my hand immediately cus I forgot about dusk but we don't talk about that)

[versed sable]

1 and a bit scoring (trib and photo) vs 3 trigger (sock, seltzer, dusk)

so yes, copy trib.

[empty silo]

shipping

does it make it

yes it does

idol hit

so one last final chance for high score

[obsidian lotus]

most optimale Blueprint placement?

[echo sphinx]

gold stek beaten by glassing the last ante

[shell dagger]

both on the duo

[empty silo]

so looking at this, I now have 2.5 scoring (idol hit) and 3 trigger, so still blueprint on trib?

actually 4 trigger counting base

I think I finally understand this

[rich mauve]

I know right?

[empty silo]

e23!!

[rich mauve]

so tuff

[polar ice]

Anyone know why I'm stuck with a 4-card hand in 5-card challenge? Happened during the run at some point

EDIT: It was Ouija...epic phailure

[modest snow]

used ecto

?

[polar ice]

Hmmm...that might be it

[empty silo]

but then where's the negative jokers

if you ecto you're likely going to keep your joker(s)

[polar ice]

It's a Challenge...you start with 7

[echo sphinx]

plot twist its a popcorn

[empty silo]

7 hand size or jokers?

[echo sphinx]

[stark nimbus]

ante 10 with only 2 diffrent jokers? balatro is so easy fam

[fringe nebula]

ouija?

[echo sphinx]

lol

[median grove]

is blackboard a pair joker?

[noble timber]

yes

Very much so

[echo sphinx]

yes

[fringe nebula]

yes

[median grove]

how do i deckfix around it? just kill diamonds and hearts

[noble timber]

that

[median grove]

but why is it good?

[manic kettle]

a wee bit big (idol failed me and landed on a singular king of hearts)

[fringe nebula]

turn everything black

[empty silo]

wait I just realized I forgot to play down to dusk for this

[noble timber]

or just make everything clubs

[empty silo]

go, better hand!

[median grove]

and why is it for pairs and not 3oak / 4oak?

[noble timber]

/spades

[median grove]

blackboard

[fringe nebula]

because it gives x3 for such a small investment

[noble timber]

because its a 2cardhand

[harsh relic]

yes

you can also reduce hand size

[empty silo]

e24 newerererer high score

[echo sphinx]

oh to pairslop u just pick up non-spadeclubs to your playing hand

[median grove]

oh and pairs arent the best hand, just the easiest to deckfix around

[fringe nebula]

or no investment at all

[polar ice]

Argghhh...that was it...and I was rolling with High Card easily...oh well

[noble timber]

compared to the 3/4/5 card hands

[noble timber]

no no they are by the far the best

[tall thicket]

crazy run

heres the seed: 7MVX9P1S

[median grove]

why?

are pairs the best hand

[tall thicket]

[noble timber]

easy to enable

blue seals

[echo sphinx]

reado this

[noble timber]

u can use every xmult joker and hget away with it

[median grove]

but isnt ancient joker / baron mime

[noble timber]

no

theyre horrendous

[median grove]

but what about in ante 13+

can you still play pairs?

[noble timber]

the goal of the game

[obsidian lotus]

what is the play here

[noble timber]

is to beat ante 8

[median grove]

but my goal is to get the highest score

thats the most fun

[echo sphinx]

@median grove this is one of the simplest way to proc blackboard

[median grove]

okay ty

[harsh relic]

then go for baron mime

[noble timber]

not rlly

[harsh relic]

and high card

[noble timber]

ive gotten naninf and its not as fun

[median grove]

and i guess card sharp is also a decent pair easy mult joker?

[noble timber]

I'd say its more so boring

[echo sphinx]

yep ish

[noble timber]

because ur doing nothing for 10 minutes

[median grove]

i got to ante 16 and i had 20 jokers yesterday! that was my funnest run

ive ever played

to each their own

[echo sphinx]

with decent deckfixing, 3oak flush straights work with card sharp

[patent prairie]

happens

[echo sphinx]

rip

[noble timber]

😭✌️

how much xmult is the cat at

[echo sphinx]

bro took away the plant to get the second plant

[median grove]

oh and i guess stuntman and blackboard is also a good combo right?

[patent prairie]

oh that run was a while ago

[empty silo]

DANGIT I had blueprint on the wrong joker
well anyway holy high score, 16 mil to e24
that soul was worth it

[median grove]

to make it easier to proc blackboard

[noble timber]

yes

[echo sphinx]

yep

[median grove]

im learning

[noble timber]

because u limit ur handsize

black board + stuntman is a gift from god

[echo sphinx]

tho with such a small hand, high card is the way to go (and not pair)

[harsh relic]

carried my c++

[noble timber]

its still 6 handsize

[noble timber]

my c++ was carried by obelisk

cold take but obelisk is the second best xmult on gold stakes

[stark nimbus]

ghost deck is easily the best deck

[echo sphinx]

thats tiny lol

[noble timber]

u can still reliably draw pairs

[empty silo]

keep in mind that this run was on checkered deck, would've been like insane on ghost or plasma

[noble timber]

especially if ur killing other cards that arentspades/clubs

[echo sphinx]

ehh maybe

[harsh relic]

valid

[echo sphinx]

i lost once cuz i just cant pull a pair with mere 6 cards

[soft talon]

Oh my days

[noble timber]

best one is constellation

[harsh relic]

obelisk carried my c+ i didn't find much when grinding c++

[echo sphinx]

put the high card in the bag

[versed sable]

Best is hologram on Ghost but that's deck specific

[noble timber]

yeah im considering all decks here

with blueseals constellation skyrockets

even without them hes still consistent

obelisk caps at higher but is also riskier for beginner players

[soft talon]

ZOO WEE MAMA

[soft talon]

Accidentally covered the number but it's 183

[obsidian lotus]

guys

I need heelollpppp

[atomic trout]

Wiped

[obsidian lotus]

I need to find my blueprints

,vm O lived

[sage patrol]

i need help, i only need the stone joker and the glass joker to complete my collection. Is there any way to get them fast ive been trying for like 5 hours straight and i cant find them

i have them unlocked

[narrow scroll]

😭 😭

[modest snow]

you need to have a glass card to see glass joker, same with stone card and stone joker

[narrow scroll]

i think you need stone and glass in your deck

[waxen quartz]

you have to have a stone or glass card for them to appear, then it's down to getting a specific uncommon joker in the shop. 1/250ish, there's just a lot of them

[narrow scroll]

anaglyph tags might work

[sage patrol]

wait really 😭 i just wasted so much time

[waxen quartz]

now getting gold stickers on them, that's the tough part. b/c glass prob isn't going to be worth much. at least stone or steel are always ok if you've done a few of those

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[fiery nymph]

glass joker never comes when i need it

[valid flume]

Does ancient joker change suit even though my entire deck is full of spades?

[slow iris]

yes

it doesn't check your deck

[valid flume]

It doesnt act as the idol

[slow iris]

yes

[humble gulch]

Glass joker never appears

[atomic trout]

this is impossible

I love High Card but aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Justicia never shows up

How does anyone best Purple Stakes?

[fringe nebula]

scale more

[rich mauve]

there goes double tags

probably 17

[subtle goblet]

This was my first try, opinions?

[versed sable]

play more

[frank notch]

you need to play to learn the game

advice wont help if you dont know the jokers

[humble gulch]

This could've been so good 💔

[versed sable]

"here, win" builds are nice

[faint linden]

New high hand score: 5,301,264

[atomic trout]

I don't get it

[subtle goblet]

I played a few games and I like the one that gives you red +3 per joker

Also that was the tutorial

[frank notch]

abstract joker?

[subtle goblet]

IRC yes

I play it on Spanish

Also the smart joker and odd jokers to boost the Aces

[frank notch]

asking for advice after finishing the tutorial is like asking what job you should get after graduating preshool

[subtle goblet]

I mean like asking for joker combos

[frank notch]

i know

you'll learn

[void topaz]

i just got to ante 23

[harsh relic]

why

[void topaz]

guess what ante i got overstock

[frank notch]

challenge idea: Road trip (start with an eternal hit the road, -1 hand, must skip at least 1 blind every ante or you lose)

[void topaz]

why is the -1 hand there

[frank notch]

idk

thought it was too easy

[willow frost]

because youve got one on the wheel

[waxen quartz]

didn't keep hands inside the vehicle

[willow frost]

your other 3 are free to play balatro thats alright

[void topaz]

your what

[frank notch]

other 3???

[versed sable]

Did they stutter?

[harsh relic]

can i get an free balatro

[void topaz]

just one though

[harsh relic]

ye ye

[slow iris]

only sometimes

[sage patrol]

[humble gulch]

XRay vision

[versed sable]

The screen does get noticably hotter when i get to the serpent, yeah

[sage patrol]

i only need to find the glass joker what is the best way to do so?

[slow iris]

you need to have at least one glass card in your deck in order for it to appear in the shop

[humble gulch]

...

[sage patrol]

yes i know but is there like any trick to make some jokers appear more often

[slow iris]

money

[versed sable]

Become rich and see more jokers.

[warm axle]

yeah hold other rare jokers to block them from showing up

[slow iris]

uncommon

[warm axle]

uncommon

[versed sable]

[terse dock]

[terse dock]

blackboard

[light oak]

[terse dock]

sell photo for chad

[unreal topaz]

i would sell photo

even if photo is 8x cat and yorick are more fun

[terse dock]

#🕹・run-discussion

[terse dock]

the stone is always better than the photo here anyway regrettably

[unreal topaz]

yeah :/

[humble gulch]

Alright, I guess

[versed sable]

i did purple, orange, and gold stakes all in a row without losing

[silver yew]

hey does anyone know of a method or mod that allows for me to disable the game over screens red tint and or the little guy that taunts you.

it just gets me mad and i alt f4 for an hour or two cause of how much i dislike that part of the game.

[humble gulch]

#⚙・modding-general

[silver yew]

danke

[humble gulch]

And there's no way to disable jimbo on the end screen

[torpid notch]

Damn how did you get that many stone cards

[willow frost]

[silver yew]

[torpid notch]

Fr

[humble gulch]

Marble joker and twelve starting stone cards

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[willow frost]

if you think youre going to lose restart the run before the endscreen hits

[silver yew]

its the noise and colours that just cause my brain to get mad. its not even a consious thing its purely emotional.

[willow frost]

damn

sorry about that

[silver yew]

yeah ive learned to do that moments before the thing but sometimes the game doesnt register the input so figured id just see if there was a more efficiant way (removal)

[willow frost]

idk i get mad at dumb things too i cant say anything

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[silver yew]

emotions are a weird dumb thing aint they

[willow frost]

yes

[versed sable]

Average balatro ig

[willow frost]

[serene forge]

"here, win"

[void topaz]

perfectly normal purple stake run

[void topaz]

[serene forge]

no econ = lose

[void topaz]

dawg you have bp baron i think youll be alright

[rustic haven]

fuck.

[serene forge]

baron is not good in ante 2 and neither will 2 barons

[void topaz]

bp misprint will prolly get them through ante 2

[rustic haven]

i think i lose

[void topaz]

pair lobotomy punished

wait no card sharp punished

[rustic haven]

i had reroll blind too

[void topaz]

same thing if you think about it

[serene forge]

you had

[rustic haven]

just

[serene forge]

326 dollars

bro

[rustic haven]

didnt pay attention

[rustic haven]

bull

[serene forge]

you dont need 326 dollars for a fucking bull

[rustic haven]

why not

[ancient gyro]

bill

[void topaz]

also how have you managed 326 dolalrs

your econ is a bit more interest

[serene forge]

you need to roll for things that help you win still

you didn't so you lost

[rustic haven]

i get 45 a round, was 60+ cuz i had cloud 9 with ouija turning into 8 9's

[rustic haven]

its white stake dawg

[void topaz]

oh you sold stuff

[rustic haven]

look at my build

😭

how does this ever lose white stake

[ancient gyro]

three of your jokers get hard countered to eye

[rustic haven]

thats why i didnt gaf

[serene forge]

and you managed to lose

isn't that sad

[rustic haven]

yea wasnt paying attnetion

[rustic haven]

not yet

[void topaz]

ok bro chill dman

[void topaz]

yes yet what

[ancient gyro]

ironic

[rustic haven]

1 high card scored 14k btw

[ancient gyro]

cause

yk

[void topaz]

oh really

[serene forge]

how much does a pair score

[void topaz]

i thought that was the pair im ngl

[fiery nymph]

this should honestly be pretty normal deep into a run

unless all ur jokers are like conditional

[void topaz]

i mean

[rustic haven]

fuck all of you im the goat

[void topaz]

i guess they just played a good amount of high cards in the run

[rustic haven]

won by 996

[void topaz]

cause supernova the only +mult

[void topaz]

the extra hand in the corner

[rustic haven]

?

[void topaz]

thats

alot

[rustic haven]

yur

pairslop

[void topaz]

was that eye assurance

[ancient gyro]

that's not what I would call it

[serene forge]

they had burger so it came naturally

I would assume

[rustic haven]

i couldve rerolled

again

didnt pay attention

idk the game that much

[void topaz]

wait so why is your high card so high

[rustic haven]

and im getting pressed

like damn

[serene forge]

burger

[rustic haven]

cuz i play a high card hand to discard

[void topaz]

thats unlucky right

[ancient gyro]

don't mind me I'm just the passenger
