[void topaz]

died to the hook lol

[rustic haven]

ok now i dont even need pairs

lmfao

high card just wins

[void topaz]

wasnt that always true

[rustic haven]

no

[void topaz]

you were scoring 14k earlier

[serene forge]

yeah you usually want a jonkler for that

[void topaz]

thats like uhh

[rustic haven]

without card sharp its still only 14k

[void topaz]

i almost got through atleast

[turbid smelt]

Guys I found a glitch

[void topaz]

yeah but with cardd sharpp

[rustic haven]

70k

[serene forge]

I want to know how did you end up with a handsize of 5 if you used ecto and weegee

[void topaz]

insta white stake is crazy

[void topaz]

thats not math

[turbid smelt]

If you grab a card before ur last hand and don’t let go the game just won’t let u go to cash out

[fiery nymph]

why is there a vessel :(

[rustic haven]

also high card only lvl 3

shit base chips

pair lvl 15

[turbid smelt]

Try it cool lil glitch

[void topaz]

the bull in the corner

[rustic haven]

not that chips matter

yes

thats why i said not that chips matter

cuz bull

[ancient gyro]

so called diminishing returns and what not

[fiery nymph]

okay

[rustic haven]

lol i got ramen

[fiery nymph]

i turned my ghost deck into abandoned deck

[void topaz]

ghosted deck

[rustic haven]

OBELISK GOES CRAZY HERE THO

[turbid smelt]

Works before cashout or final hand

[rustic haven]

fire unlocked bp

[fiery nymph]

i honestly had to do it with this build lol

kinda hard to fit runner, bus, and burger all here

but with the fixing its pretty optimal

[void topaz]

my lord

[fiery nymph]

ramen is 80th sticker

[rustic haven]

chat what could make this better

[fiery nymph]

endless isnt real

[ancient gyro]

a different mult source

[rustic haven]

SHUT UP

ANSWER

[ancient gyro]

oh yeah

[rustic haven]

like?

[strange delta]

Fortune teller and cartomancer carried.

[rustic haven]

dam

[strange delta]

I only have 2 decks left and im free from this game.

[fiery nymph]

fortune teller is kinda meh tbh

in my opinion

[rustic haven]

worth?

[fiery nymph]

i feel like it depends on tarot gens, good ones at that

[fiery nymph]

way too late

[rustic haven]

fair

[fiery nymph]

endless isnt real

[rustic haven]

swiss im going to eat you.

[ancient gyro]

cheese

[strange delta]

It's a slow boring win.

[fiery nymph]

my only fun ft run was with 8 ball

[strange delta]

It's got its synergies but the run is gonna be slow.

8 ball doesn't work

Lol

For me.

[fiery nymph]

i fixed to 4oak lucky 8s

with dice it honestly had a really consistent pattern

[foggy berry]

and the vouchers

[fiery nymph]

this is a start

[rustic haven]

more pairslop

lmfao

[fringe nebula]

space joker being your only source of chips is

hahaa

[rustic haven]

😭

[fringe nebula]

it can work tho

i've done it several times

[rustic haven]

its ok its only white stake

ill be ok

[fiery nymph]

honestly it can take care of all your planets

and chips

depending on your luck/hand

[woven spire]

what even made you take seance

[rustic haven]

pairslop

[woven spire]

genuine question

[fiery nymph]

its a good card for gold stake!

[woven spire]

first time someone has ever said that

[velvet wyvern]

Would we say ghost or plasma is better for naneinf?

[fiery nymph]

look

its so good!

[woven spire]

it depends on strat

[rapid patio]

nah it should be if played hand contains a pair but not a full house since you're only a little homeless

[rustic haven]

worth over showman?

[fringe nebula]

ofcourse?????

[woven spire]

yes

[fringe nebula]

why is that even a question

[rustic haven]

showman fun tho

[woven spire]

not rlly

[rustic haven]

i just wanna see another egg

tbh

[woven spire]

makes your packs trash

More people should know that showman is harmful too

[rustic haven]

not when you have goated vouchers

[woven spire]

huh

[rustic haven]

planets

[woven spire]

you bought the planet voucher?

[rustic haven]

the one that gives ur most played

?

[woven spire]

ohhh alr

[rustic haven]

ya xd

[woven spire]

fair enough

still makes your arcanas bad

[rustic haven]

eh thats fine

i wasnt playing for enhanced cards

also my chips are fineee

[velvet wyvern]

I might try non-perkeo strats, but it depends how much plasma actually affects getting naneinf

[woven spire]

Non perkeo is easier imo

For that i would go plasma

[rustic haven]

gift card over camp...

[woven spire]

And yeah it does affect

[woven spire]

don’t u dare

[rustic haven]

i did

[woven spire]

🫩

[velvet wyvern]

I know the benefit is pretty good, but i didn’t know if it was worth sacrificing the chance at perkeo/cryptid

[rustic haven]

swash went up by 10

so 20 cuz i have 2

xd

[woven spire]

you just have to be very lucky at perkeo nan

• the -1 joker slot and the copies shenanigans

[polar ice]

Golden Needle is like stabbing my eyeballs with needles. What worked for you?

[woven spire]

i tried perkeo nan and it’s too much for me lol

i did perkeoless

[tribal bramble]

quick question. how does 1 obtain palette because it says to reduce ur hand size to 5 which ive done and it still hasnt given it to me

[woven spire]

it might have to go less than five, but i’m not sure

[velvet wyvern]

Aight thank you then :D

[fringe nebula]

5 is enough

[polar ice]

You have to find it in the shop now that it is unlocked

[tribal bramble]

still says its locked

[woven spire]

I’ve seen a lot of people with the same issue of getting 5 and palette not getting unlocked

[polar ice]

ohhhh

[tribal bramble]

like in the voucher tab

[polar ice]

Yeah I believe you...worked fine for me, tho

DId you exit to main menu yet?

[fringe nebula]

I unlocked palette this way, so i think there's a bug that makes you not unlock palette

or something

[polar ice]

They don't fully unlock till you do that

[tribal bramble]

i used stuntman + ecto

[ebon condor]

apparently its a steammodded issue or something?

from what ive heard

[rustic haven]

yeah i think it was better than camp twin

+204 base

x3

[fringe nebula]

campfire would give you way more from xmult probably

[rustic haven]

but playing for it is too active

brain too mush for that rn

[polar ice]

Again, I noticed that some of those unlocks don't trigger till you go back to the main menu. You are also running mods which might cause issues

[lyric moat]

Hi

[waxen dagger]

can it deactivate bone and make me just lose 😭

im relying on bone to not lose

[rustic haven]

[waxen dagger]

OHEWHGEHOJHDFSOIJEHISPDFJOORJUDOF[IOI please

for all that is holy i beg do not deactivate mr bones

[grim otter]

Should I replace anything with DNA or Card Sharp? Ante 11 and still haven’t gotten Negative for a blind

[deep copper]

depends what ur deck currently looks like

[deep copper]

lowk you dont have anything crazy to copy w dna

[tranquil oyster]

bro what is this setup LOL insane sticker greed
not a single mult joker, are you sure you're even going to hit 200k?

[deep copper]

uhh maybe replace pareidolia with it

[wise basin]

I can not express how much hatred I have for golden needle

[waxen dagger]

im at prefinal hand and it hasnt triggered im scared

[waxen dagger]

im at 200k rn

im so scared PLEASE

[polar ice]

Trying it now...any advice? It's slaughtering me

[wise basin]

Hope for acrobat

[tranquil oyster]

oh yeah i didn't noticed you played plasma at first

[waxen dagger]

okay im safe?

[polar ice]

Yeah been hoping but not getting it

[waxen dagger]

i think im safe?

[wise basin]

real sadly

[waxen dagger]

GG!

[polar ice]

Honestly it's just a beyond stupid challenge

[waxen dagger]

2nd gold steak

[tribal bramble]

steak

[polar ice]

Just squeaked by...nj

[polar ice]

For dinner or lunch? (lol...sry wdym?)

[tribal bramble]

accident

[waxen dagger]

im lowkeniunely hunngry from playing so much balatro 😭

[frank notch]

just get yorick if youre having trouble beating golden needle

[fiery nymph]

rick yo

[waxen dagger]

rick named kid:

[thorn sage]

do i sell the hanging chad and onyx agate to get a another ancient or brainstorm?

[polar ice]

Well I just ordered steak for dinner because of you. Thanks for the suggestion!

Did exiting to menu work or the pallette is still locked?

[noble mango]

Pray that it hit brainstorm

[polar ice]

OK will try to re-roll spam for that. The challenge is zero fun unlike all the previous ones

[frank notch]

me personally i got him in run 4

[polar ice]

So you cycle till the first skip is Mega Arcana, correct?

[thorn sage]

sad

[thorn sage]

sell sock and pray for baron maybe?

life is so good

[frank notch]

no i just got lucky

[strange delta]

Zodiac deck.

[thorn sage]

i just wanna hand size

sad.

[frank notch]

this is why you dont ectospam

[tribal bramble]

no i literally even did a run with the paint brush voucher while getting 5 cards and it STILL didnt work

[frank notch]

ectoplasm more like l ecto spam

[frank notch]

you can edit your save file and manually unlock ikt

[tribal bramble]

and how can i do that because ive literally done what the game told me to do

[frank notch]

press windows key + r

then search %APPDATA%

go to balatro folder, then find the folder with the number corresponding to your save slot

copy the file titled profile (not the contents, the file itself)

and paste it in anywhere you can easily acces

finally, go to https://balatro.shorty.systems/ and upload your file

tick v_palette to true in unlocked

then delete the profile file and replace it with the new file

if profile is the wrong one do meta instead

[frank notch]

ping

if youre not on windows idk

[polar ice]

Didn't take long...wish me luck!

[dusty void]

What challenge is this

[polar ice]

Golden Needle...the 18th challenge

[charred sky]

What would happen in this situation?

[polar ice]

Every card face down

[charred sky]

oh god :(

[polar ice]

You can probably still pass it playing blind

$22K isn't that much

[charred sky]

I'll try

[tribal bramble]

where is the unlocked tab

[frank notch]

paste your file in a google doc and press ctrl f

[tribal bramble]

doesnt show up

[frank notch]

put the file in the website and copy paste the resulting text

[tribal bramble]

i did

doesnt show up in the code

[frank notch]

ok

[tribal bramble]

so how do i import it without breaking game

[frank notch]

if it doesnt show up idk how to help you

[tribal bramble]

😭🔫

someone ping me if they know how to fix

[empty silo]

im gonna freak out bro

[dusty void]

Now wtf

[empty silo]

ante 2?

[noble mango]

If i get a jack to be a wildcard

Won't that make me have a jack of all trades

[dusty void]

Brainstorm mod for perkeo

But the second soul is nat

[empty silo]

I am now SCREAMING

game opens with a dusk/acrobat then teases with an idol I can't get and a baron I can't get

tf is this

[slow iris]

divine intervention

[empty silo]

and it gives me just barely enough scoring to limp along

oh look a smiley face just as I was about to die

get a load of this seed

[humble gulch]

Localthunk saved him

[empty silo]

that's the 4th space joker I've seen this run and still haven't been able to buy it

[bronze widget]

Hold r

[empty silo]

game won't let me die

[empty silo]

wassat do

[bronze widget]

Resets the run

[humble gulch]

Baron is trash, what's the problem...

I'd be mad because I can't take rebate

[empty silo]

guess what it's a droll joker

so guess I'm not dying yet

[bronze widget]

Baron lowkey common joker hanging chad better

[fiery nymph]

why are you trying to die :(

[empty silo]

wait nvmd my dumbass didn't read it was the eye and played a flush so no dusk/acrobat for me

[empty silo]

this run sucks

IM STILL NOT DEAD

[humble gulch]

Millions of runs take their own lives every month, if you're having problems contact here: #🕹・game-discussion

[empty silo]

drew an all-face card full house and smiley face locked in

yay it's a banana

oh no the game's just going to give me another 3x so I don't die

[fiery nymph]

best advice from here is "i hate bloodstone"

[empty silo]

what joker's next to tease me with

yay it's a glass card

-# slowly dying inside

oh also the game gave me a cryptid so I can flush house if I want

ITS OVER

I looked away to type that and forgot I was on 1 hand

that awful run is finally over

and I can get a non-cursed seed

oh look jolly joker

seltzer and shoot the moon

taking shoot the moon

IDOL

and I can take it this time

hanging chad

[humble gulch]

Why would you take idol...

[empty silo]

because of last game

hey stencil sure why not

[humble gulch]

.... What does that have to do?

[empty silo]

oops I couldn't draw the idol card

new game

[empty silo]

the game taunted me with an idol I couldn't get so I got it out of spite

[humble gulch]

That's why you don't take idol

[humble gulch]

Idol is trash for beating ante 8

[empty silo]

BLUEPRINT

round 1

I have a feeling

(btw it was in the pack so I actually got it)

[charred sky]

I had to sacrifice a Joker... but I did it!

[empty silo]

I am now playing an ancient joker run

it's so much fun when it hits clubs on checkered

I might have to take an eternal wrathful joker to get out of this

but screw it I'm going for ante 8 not endless so why not

[noble mango]

I wonder how would it be if jokers were on steroids

[empty silo]

oh no didn't draw the flush

bye blueprint

[humble gulch]

Mr. Bones but it's actually a permanent ×4

[noble mango]

Madness destroys all other jokers for a 5x

[noble mango]

Ceremonial dagger murders everything to the right

[terse vale]

why did u take it on checkered

[random lark]

photo comes with a chad

[empty silo]

for the funsies

[noble mango]

Nah

Chad retriggers the first card 21 times

[shell rock]

dna converts all cards in deck to the one played, then self-destructs

ulted too early

[empty silo]

8-ball always hits

Lichador permanently disables that specific boss blind from the game

Credit card alloes you to reach - naninf in your money

[humble gulch]

Luchador one shots boss blinds

[empty silo]

plant learned not to show its face around here

not since the incident

[shell rock]

and gives you positive interest for how much debt you havd

[noble mango]

Riff raff fills up every joker slot

[empty silo]

well that's what I say to the cops, in reality the plant is no longer alive

[fiery nymph]

me in the misinformation tournament:

[humble gulch]

Riff raff can summon every kind of jokers with the same odds

[noble mango]

Invis joker gives you an exact vopy pf your joker lineup

[empty silo]

CHAT

brainstorm in first pack

[shell rock]

WHAT

yo

[fiery nymph]

i hope you lose

[noble mango]

Yeah gonna mod this shit

[empty silo]

call back to blueprint in first pack 2 games ago

[shell rock]

peak?

[fiery nymph]

bye guys!

[empty silo]

that's not a question

[harsh relic]

mime retriggers every card held in hand

[empty silo]

I will lose

[noble mango]

Jokers on steroids mod

[empty silo]

blueprint is always negative

[shell rock]

it would be crazy if mime did that right haha

chicot is perfectly rated

[noble mango]

Nah

It copies every joker

[empty silo]

invis always hits the leftmost joker

[shell rock]

it doesnt help most runs, especially when you need scoring from that soul on higher stakes

[slow iris]

true

[shell rock]

at least perkeo can copy like glass or something

[noble mango]

Egg permanently increases its sell value for every egg this run

[harsh relic]

fr

[empty silo]

btw the brainstorm run's going great

[terse vale]

it helps all runs

what

[noble mango]

Noice

[empty silo]

DUSK

[terse vale]

trib is the one that kinda sucks

chicot just means you don’t have to worry about anything

[shell rock]

some boss blinds can be run killers, but i don’t find that chicot is worth the joker slot for that most times because on a lot of my runs i just die because i dont have enough scoring

[empty silo]

it's the dusk/acrobat combo I had earlier

[noble mango]

Scoring

[shell rock]

i love trib

[terse vale]

I mean its fine

[empty silo]

I'm having flashbacks

[shell rock]

its scoring

[serene forge]

gold stake plasma deck described in 1 image

[harsh relic]

hard to setup ante 1-8

[terse vale]

you can score perfectly fine with 4 jokers?

[noble mango]

Not enough

[terse vale]

with a bunch of caveats

[shell rock]

what if i dont find any scoring though

[terse vale]

literally it is enough

[humble gulch]

Good run?, die
Bad run?, also die

[terse vale]

how is that chicots fault

[slow iris]

trib is the worst legendary for ante 8 gold stake

[noble mango]

Heck
Even 5 slpts ain't enough

[serene forge]

skill issue

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[shell rock]

im saying if i get the soul and i need scoring then chicot is a letdown

[shell rock]

this is like only on higher stakes though

[harsh relic]

yea

[empty silo]

HOW DID I LOSE

[shell rock]

id carry chicot to the end on white stake

[noble mango]

Wdym

I had to use ecto to fit Nother blueprint

[empty silo]

I had brainstorm dusk acrobat and sock

how do I lose

on ante 3

[terse vale]

like yeah i’d rather a yorick than chicot most of the time but just because it isn’t scoring doesn’t mean it can’t be insanely helpful

like perkeo

[empty silo]

I knew I was bad but damn this is bad

[shell rock]

perkeo’s different, it gives money or deckfixing or enhancements that can improve score

[serene forge]

if you're looking for immediate scoring then you're looking in the wrong place, because 4/5 possible hits from soul do not fit that description

[terse vale]

chicot just protects you from the 2/5 chance to get a hard as balls boss blind for the finisher

[slow iris]

trib is the least versatile and easily countered legendary

[noble mango]

Not playing 5 cards against psychic

[serene forge]

and sometimes trib might not even if you dont have lots of kings/queens

or have planets

yet soul is still really good

because those hits are still really really good

[shell rock]

this is true, chicot makes ante 8 a breeze

[fiery nymph]

trib is my crispiest 10$

[bold gyro]

Someone said hearts and diamonds are "worth" less than clubs and spades....why is that?

[terse vale]

when you find something good
chicot can protect from tooth, from wall, from flint,

[tropic mulch]

Game just gave me back to back polychrome odd todd

[fiery nymph]

too bright idk

[versed sable]

Blackboard, I assume

[serene forge]

no flat mult

[terse vale]

chicot is so you don’t die to lackluster planning

[noble mango]

Id take negative chicot all day everyday

[serene forge]

dusk and sock are deadweight without synergies

so your only scoring is 2 acrobats

[empty silo]

hearts has retriggerable xmult joker, diamonds has $ joker, spades has chips joker and clubs has single x2 mult joker, so they're kinda wrong

[noble mango]

Normal
Ehh

[serene forge]

blackboard

bloodstone is bad and rough gem is just econ

[fiery nymph]

yeah bloodstone and rough gem suck

[terse vale]

you need to play the game more

[serene forge]

arrow and onyx are pretty solid and blackboard is really good

[shell rock]

i love onyx agate

[serene forge]

so black suits are better by default

[terse vale]

because you forgot about 2 jokers

[shell rock]

and areowhead

[humble gulch]

Rough gem it's good, what do you mean

[fiery nymph]

i dont like it

[noble mango]

Honestly i don't even like the ecfects of the Legendary jokers

Like
Uncommon and rares and common did the job

[versed sable]

Blackboard good
bloodstone usually sucks, rough gem is okay but not really worth building around, arrowhead is fine, agate is decent

[serene forge]

rough gem isn't bad but it's an econ joker

[shell rock]

rough gem has helped me a singular time

[serene forge]

you probably aren't building towards that long term

[fiery nymph]

i think just compared to other econs its not the greatest

[humble gulch]

The point of legendaries is giving you instant strenght or good scaling xmult

[serene forge]

sure

[fiery nymph]

and its pretty expensive

[shell rock]

and i was already building towards hack + red seal that just happened to be diamonds

[empty silo]

oh boy looks like this is going to be a great run
let's put this red seal on one of the kings here

[terse vale]

grim seems cool..

[empty silo]

checkered tho

[shell rock]

grim is goated

[terse vale]

doesn’t reeeally matter

[serene forge]

i honestly think trib and yorick are kinda lame but the others are pretty interesting

[terse vale]

you probably won’t be doing flushes anyways

[versed sable]

Early rough gem is pretty solid if you can live while playing diamonds flushes, but that's more situationally good than the black suits are

[harsh relic]

checkered

[empty silo]

steel heart and gold diamond

[serene forge]

yorick is really good but just boring, you just discard and you kinda just win

[empty silo]

clearly you don't know me

[terse vale]

canio is my favorite

[empty silo]

I exclusively play flushes

[fiery nymph]

and the suits dont look as cool as spades do they

[terse vale]

just off the art

[fiery nymph]

i love lucky polychrome spades they are so cool

[noble mango]

Without enough discards

Well
No

[rapid patio]

wait so what other main reason do people even use checkered for

[versed sable]

I think gameplay design-wise, Canio and Perkeo are pretty neat

[terse vale]

you get 2 with blue stake

[noble mango]

Dran you blie stake

[harsh relic]

i love it too

[serene forge]

yorick is arguably the strongest scoring joker, despite blue stake

[terse vale]

that’s enough if you didn’t get it in like ante 7

[shell rock]

but gold polychrome though

[serene forge]

and when blue stake is changed it's only gonna get even more overpowered

[fiery nymph]

thats cool too

[empty silo]

I'm suffering through blue stake rn on my journey to gold stake

[fiery nymph]

so is the steel

and glass

but i like the lucky card a lot

[serene forge]

2 discards a round = ~1.3x scaling on yorick per ante

madness is 1x per ante for reference

[shell rock]

gay lucky card is good

[fiery nymph]

good for flush 5

or 4oak

[empty silo]

this space joker has proc'd less than bloodstone with no oops

[shell rock]

honestly all the editions look good in rainbow

[noble mango]

The thing about yorick is

I kept drawing my best hand
So i can't discard those

And 13 cards on deck doesn't help

[terse vale]

people will finally see htr for what it is…

a C+ tier joker ,,,

[harsh relic]

Brown Joker when

[serene forge]

pair

play pair

like unironically

[shell rock]

YES I LOVE HIT THE ROAD

[versed sable]

Yippie, balatro in 2026 (pair gaming

[serene forge]

pair just dodges every negative thing that a bigger hand has to deal with

[versed sable]

I think i had a total of like 60+ levels on pair, in my past three high stake runs combined

[versed sable]

Pairs are stupid

[empty silo]

after 10 tries spaceman finally did the thing

[terse vale]

I was debating on whether I should put it in B- I honestly can’t decide

[fiery nymph]

how do i have a seance run before hit the road on gold stake man

[median grove]

help on what i should get rid of for dna?

im play 4oak

[shell rock]

i heard localthunk is removing mercury from the game

in 1.1

[median grove]

nah im not

[serene forge]

you don't need dna in ante 4

[empty silo]

it's smeared joker, now where's that ancient joker

[median grove]

i want it, who knows maybe ill get baron + mime

[fiery nymph]

i want to use hit the road so bad but i like never fix to jacks

[shell rock]

but i like dna

[fiery nymph]

maybe if i get it early idk

[serene forge]

do you have a gold red seal king

[median grove]

me too

[frank notch]

its consistent hologram scaling

[shell rock]

you should get it

[median grove]

i agree, what should i replace?

[frank notch]

like a better certificate or marble

[median grove]

no but i also have hologram lol

i feel like dna + hologram is a good synergy also

[serene forge]

i don't think hologram is very useful on white stake plasma

[shell rock]

hit the road + castle + rebate building wild jacks was one of my favorite builds ever

[shell rock]

oh absolutely

[median grove]

thank you!

[frank notch]

true, i didnt look at the deck

[waxen dagger]

wait i just realized boss blind icons are based on phonecian letters

[serene forge]

yes

but you're building for baron

[shell rock]

yes

[serene forge]

you don't want garbage in the deck

[waxen dagger]

and they mean what they mean in phonecian

[median grove]

well i might not get baron, but just in case

[serene forge]

i am curious though

post the deck

[median grove]

okey

[serene forge]

do you have any good dna targets

[waxen dagger]

that is so cool

[fiery nymph]

i think the ante 8 bosses arent but they based on like suits from other places i think

[median grove]

i have decent dna targets but nothing great

[serene forge]

i wouldn't dna

[median grove]

definitely not good enough for baron

[serene forge]

until you find a purple seal or a good red seal

[median grove]

but also i just want to win on white stake first lol

[serene forge]

or something like that

[median grove]

yeah i agree

but i still think i should buy it for the future

[serene forge]

yeah probably focus on that first

[serene forge]

you honestly could replace the invis if you wanted to since that's not really doing anything here either

[median grove]

what do you think i should replace? out of: to do list, smiley, holo and hallucination

[median grove]

you dont think i should get rid of to do list?

and i guess 2 dnas is not really good

and 2 holograms is kind of useless

so i think youre right

[serene forge]

what is it on

[median grove]

high card

thats good i guess

[serene forge]

to do list can be spammed for econ if it lands on something easy

yeah keep it

[waxen dagger]

thats actually so cool

[woven spire]

2 hologram is actually kinda goated

[median grove]

but doesnt it change after every blind?

[serene forge]

yes

[median grove]

so that doesnt seem super useful long term

[serene forge]

but there's like a 3/9 chance of it landing on something spammable

[median grove]

i might as well get rid of it now

[serene forge]

high card pair two pair

[median grove]

true

[median grove]

so do you think i should get rid of invis joker for dna? or to do list, or maybe smiley

[serene forge]

you can usually cash in on 3oak flush and straight pretty easily too

[woven spire]

to do list depends on how strong you are

[median grove]

idk they all seem kind of good

[pale wolf]

then its under balatro

[median grove]

hmm what do you think

[woven spire]

imo, smiley, with 62 bucks i’m pretty sure you could find any sort of chips

[median grove]

okay ty

[cyan bone]

guys first joker which should i take

[woven spire]

what

[serene forge]

you could bs since it's white stake

on gold stake i'm taking half

[median grove]

?

[woven spire]

thought i saw something

dw abt it

[median grove]

so do you think i should wait to actually use dna until i get like a red seal steel or a purple or blue seal?

[cyan bone]

I also think i saw something

[median grove]

is it mediocre to just copy a regular steel / gold

[serene forge]

yes

[median grove]

okay thanks

[slow iris]

half joker is more money since green deck

but it is white stake

mmm

[cyan bone]

on chicot I hate green deck 🙏

[waxen dagger]

i originally thot the ox was called the 0x bc it sets your money to 0 😭😭😭

[turbid smelt]

Voucher idea skip tags double after boss blind

[cyan bone]

WHAT

[bold gyro]

Won my first run with spade flush build, then won a club flush build, now trying heart flush build

[rancid gull]

dang

[cyan bone]

what is this run 😭

[fringe nebula]

steve

[median grove]

why did they give me the plant on ante 4!

i hate the plant!

[serene forge]

thats good

[median grove]

i hate the plant!

[serene forge]

get it before you get baron

[empty silo]

my average run:
(I die ante 4 tho)

[median grove]

im gonna die lol

how can i win

[rancid gull]

yes silly goose?

[fringe nebula]

I'm currently at 40/150 black deck

[rancid gull]

Did you have an insane pull again?

[serene forge]

i forgor you had smiley face

ngl

[rancid gull]

Holy shit

[cyan bone]

this will be an ante 6 run im calling it now

[median grove]

nah i dont have smiley face i have 2 dnas

[rancid gull]

I just won another run recently

Bro is gonna make it

[median grove]

but how would it even be possible to win on ante 4 with the plant

like theres no way if i have 10 kings yk

[fringe nebula]

also, have you seen the most recent amphymalding that happened yesterday

I'm keeping this as a highlight lmao

[serene forge]

i take getting blocked by amphy as a badge of honor

[fringe nebula]

I'm also blocked by amphy, so

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/694849009411555379.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[slow iris]

i'm not

but i've barely interacted with them so

ig that's why

[rancid gull]

Oh my god dude

Amphymalding is actually peak dude

I'm ngl

[subtle drum]

mb what about now

[harsh relic]

is this black deck or sum

[fringe nebula]

no

[slow iris]

no specific deck

[harsh relic]

😭

[humble gulch]

The plant

[frank notch]

95% of all runs die "before round 4" due to human error

[turbid smelt]

Set ur date on your phone to April fools and it will make your deck like this

[fringe nebula]

diamond flush ante 1

probably

[humble gulch]

Instant four of a kind

[subtle drum]

and luck

[fringe nebula]

ok damn

[subtle drum]

often it just doesn’t work out

[turbid smelt]

I’m convinced gold stake is impossible

I’ve been stuck on it for so long

[fringe nebula]

you can get past round 4 98% of the time without luck

[subtle drum]

got my first gold stake win yesterday

u got this gng

[humble gulch]

I wanted that hermit so bad

[serene forge]

here win

[subtle drum]

buffoon pack and hermit

[serene forge]

negative blueprint in buffoon which has a sell value of 7

[turbid smelt]

Been playing balstro for a year and change and never ever got a gold stake win cause I always played white

[humble gulch]

?

Red card

[bold gyro]

welp died, so what 1 or max 2 suits would you recommend a new player focusing on for flush builds?

[subtle drum]

nah buffoon pack trust

[fringe nebula]

red card

you have a slight earlygame boost on erratic deck anyway

[subtle drum]

🐚

[fringe nebula]

so it's fine

[pale wolf]

why the nickname then

[turbid smelt]

Larp

[harsh relic]

😭

[subtle drum]

if u play higher stakes you’ll gain more experience

👍

[harsh relic]

🤯

[subtle drum]

and then you can do it

it’s very difficult but it is possible generally

[humble gulch]

So... couldn't draw

I were going for flush, shut up

[subtle drum]

it happens 😔

[fringe nebula]

lmao

[median grove]

am i bad at the game now?

i cant play plasma on white stake lol

[humble gulch]

Hehe, bloodstone

[cyan bone]

what

[turbid smelt]

Did anyone know this though

Changing ur date to April fools switched the deck order

Thought it was cool

[cyan bone]

left handed balatro

[humble gulch]

Alright

[fringe nebula]

ante 1 death incoming

[humble gulch]

Lucky

[wintry ice]

this is an odd run to say the least

[humble gulch]

Alright

[fringe nebula]

Dangerous rental fee

[wintry ice]

i sold faceless for a perishable foil parking

[humble gulch]

Oh no...

[wintry ice]

oops all rental

[humble gulch]

Forgot about business card

This will cover me up a while

[bold gyro]

So what suit is best for flush builds?

[fringe nebula]

spade

[median grove]

lucky cat or drivers license?

[humble gulch]

Uhm

[atomic trout]

Blahhgh

[fringe nebula]

lucky cat anytime

[median grove]

okey thnals

[humble gulch]

OF COURSE IT DIDN'T WORK THIS TIME

Lucky cards are paid actors

[frank notch]

photochad when it comes to being inconsistent on an unfixed deck

[ancient gyro]

out here tjmaxxing

[humble gulch]

I mean

[fringe nebula]

if you want an easy purple stake win, i guess i'd say ante 1 econ joker

[frank notch]

we heard you

[fringe nebula]

how many face cards

[humble gulch]

Just two extra

[fringe nebula]

i guess it's still good

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[fringe nebula]

worth it then

[median grove]

is it worth replacing anything here with cartomancer?

[frank notch]

pareidolia + midas mask + vampire + smiley face + buskin

[median grove]

really?

but dont i need flat mult with a pair build

i guess i could pivot to 4oak

[fringe nebula]

replace smiley face with golden ticket

[frank notch]

probably replace trading card if you want it

[noble mango]

Apparently i won with dagger

[median grove]

but trading card is so good no?

[frank notch]

wouldnt vampire take away gold before golden ticket is in effect

[frank notch]

not for the build youre running

[fringe nebula]

nope, you put midas at the right side of vampire instead of left

[median grove]

but if i want to pivot to 4oak / hack isnt it good

and make lots of lucky 2s with lucky cat

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 5

[fringe nebula]

in that order, vampire will suck up the enhancements, and then midas reapplies

[humble gulch]

I guess

[fringe nebula]

if you put midas at the left side of vampire, it will be the opposite

[ancient gyro]

i could've summarized this with fewer words

[fringe nebula]

true

[wintry ice]

sounds like an easy win

[ancient gyro]

sounding

[wintry ice]

obelisk with dagger and a +135 runner is funny

[wintry ice]

what the heck

[ancient gyro]

heck

[frank notch]

Balatrodle in 7

[humble gulch]

Yeah... I didn't even knew what do draw

[median grove]

what do you think i should replace for hiker? i have lots of lucky 2s

i guess cavendish and lucky are redundant?

[median grove]

not sure

[wintry ice]

funny

[humble gulch]

Jack aced it

[fringe nebula]

replace grimbo

i'd say

[frank notch]

replace green joker and lucky cat with hiker and hack

[median grove]

whats grimbo?

[fringe nebula]

green jimbo

[frank notch]

green jimbo

[ancient gyro]

green jimmy

[median grove]

wait replace lucky cat with hiker?

i thought hiker was bad

and isnt lucky cat good because im retriggering lucky 2s

[noble mango]

Why not Green joker

[median grove]

thats insane

[woven spire]

it’s funnier

[ancient gyro]

not enough pizzazz

[noble mango]

Groker sounds ass ye

[frank notch]

grimbo isnt very good on plasma

and lucky isnt that good with the wrong build

[humble gulch]

I actually have a good deck for straights

[ancient gyro]

is this true @groker

[median grove]

but i have lots of lucky 2s, i feel like that is a good build

and i can duplicate em

[noble mango]

So do you call blue joker blimbo or

[wintry ice]

you know

[median grove]

and i feel like its good withhack

[fringe nebula]

blue

[noble mango]

Ic

[ancient gyro]

bluey

[frank notch]

hiker is better

[median grove]

really??

[wintry ice]

it's funny that groker is a shorthand for a virtually worthless upgrade in btd6

[frank notch]

in this situation, yes

[median grove]

but i feel like lucky can definitely outscale cavendish

[noble mango]

Is hike the road a strategy

[median grove]

in this case

[frank notch]

yeah sell one of the xmults

[ancient gyro]

I don't recall

[astral steppe]

A story in 3 parts

[median grove]

but how is hiker better here

[frank notch]

it gives chips

[median grove]

like i know its good for pairs but i feel like if i switch to 4oak its not very good

[noble mango]

The one egg

[frank notch]

on plasma deck, raw stats are better

which include either chips or mult

[median grove]

than xmult?

[wintry ice]

grow blocker

[noble mango]

If you're talking

50 1.5x mults then it's better

[wintry ice]

0-1-0 village

it's pretty forgettable

[frank notch]

on late high stake no, but low stake and early high stake yes

[median grove]

yeah im playing for ante 8+ always

[noble mango]

Anti heal effect?

[wintry ice]

anyways low chips obelisk is fun

[frank notch]

youre in low stake so definitely

[wintry ice]

pretty much

[ancient gyro]

I've never heard anybody shorten it to that word

[ancient gyro]

the challenge editor tower

[median grove]

so you think hiker is better than lucky on plasma?

[noble mango]

Oh

Useless
Even regen bloons just
Die to my big humongous dps giants

Like
Regen is barely a gimmick

[wintry ice]

it's sometimes slightly useful on round 76

[ancient gyro]

if you play challenge editor yeah

[noble mango]

Due to
Well uhm
The absolute bullshit that's happening on screen rn

[bold gyro]

is drivers license as bad as it looks?

[median grove]

do you think hiker is better than lucky cat /cavendish on plasma?

[ebon condor]

btd6 is a very strange game

[wintry ice]

honestly this is the least impactful runner that i think i'll ever see

[bold gyro]

3x mult which is bad and to get it you need 16 enhanced cards

[wintry ice]

no

[bold gyro]

that seems terrible

[ancient gyro]

on this deck is crazy

[wintry ice]

you should already go for enhancements

and 3x mult is great

[bold gyro]

but X3 mult is terrible

[ebon condor]

drivers license is pretty solid

[frank notch]

3x mult is great for ante 8

[bold gyro]

I bought it since I did not discover it yet

[wintry ice]

i have like 10 two pair plays by the time i got it

[humble gulch]

WHERE'S THE MULT ❤️‍🩹

[bold gyro]

how is X3 mult good?

[wintry ice]

it isn't

[bold gyro]

regular joker is x4

[ebon condor]

the condition is a bit rough but x3 mult with no pretense is excellent

[wintry ice]

it does enough to increase your score to win

[median grove]

do you think hiker is better than cavendish on plasma deck?

[ebon condor]

oh

[wintry ice]

jimbo is +mult

[frank notch]

put napkin on photo

[ebon condor]

oh i see

[wintry ice]

driver's license is multiplicative mult

[bold gyro]

supernova is like x40 mult and all I gotta do is play flush

[frank notch]

x mult is multiplicative, + mult is additive

[wintry ice]

one adds mult and the other multiplies it

[ebon condor]

supernova is +40 mult

[bold gyro]

wait what

[humble gulch]

Queens

[noble mango]

Best way to add cards to your deck?

Running out of cards to feed canio

[wintry ice]

didn't we already go over this in the run discussion channel

[noble mango]

Parei canio immolate do be funny

[median grove]

are you talking to me?

[ancient gyro]

do ppl not teach kids how to use pemdas these days

[ebon condor]

jokers like joker and supernova add a value to the red number, jokers like drivers liscence multiply that red number

[bold gyro]

mind explainining the difference more

[bold gyro]

ohhh I thought all xmults were already applied tothe red number

[frank notch]

x mult MULTIPLIES your mult, + mult ADDS TO your mult

[wintry ice]

oh wait we literally did 😭

[noble mango]

Does it matter for photograph

[ebon condor]

so for example if you have supernova and drivers lisence, supernova would add that +40, and drivers liscence would multiply that to 120

very strong

[bold gyro]

oh wow so whatever the red number is then drivers multiplies it by 3

[frank notch]

yes

[humble gulch]

Alright

[wraith slate]

threading the needle lmao

[wintry ice]

i mean what reason would cavendish have to go from x15 to x3

[ancient gyro]

use a calculator, use 40, use the addition sign then a 3, now do the same thing with the multiplication symbol, see how the values change

boom, 1st grade math

[fringe nebula]

bs copy photo

[ebon condor]

id assume they havent seen cavendish yet

[noble mango]

Someone new?

[stoic isle]

wow

[median grove]

should i replace an xmult like cavendish for a + chips on plasma deck?

[wintry ice]

would make sense because they don't know what xmult is yet

[humble gulch]

Bruh

[wintry ice]

only if your run heavily favors chips imo

[wintry ice]

free

[median grove]

how do i know if it favors chips or not?

[median grove]

and is this still true for ante 8+

[wintry ice]

well, what's your main source of scoring?

[tranquil oasis]

I just rolled on a blueprint by accident

[median grove]

pairs right now but i think i want to pivot to 4oak with lucky 2s?

and hack?

[humble gulch]

SORRY?

[empty silo]

hearts or diamonds, but I also suck at this game so that probably isn't good advice

[wintry ice]

oh you have wee

[median grove]

im not really sure

[wintry ice]

but also cat

hm

[median grove]

is that a bad combo?

isnt it good to have + chips and xmult for a pair build

[wintry ice]

wee is an extremely strong chip joker and cat is an extremely strong xmult joker

[wintry ice]

in normal decks

[empty silo]

no that's a good combo with retriggers

[wintry ice]

plasma forces you to go with one or the other

[median grove]

wait really?

why

[wintry ice]

you don't get as much of a benefit if you go with both

i wouldn't sell anything for hiker here

cat has a higher ceiling but wee has a higher floor

[median grove]

oh i guess that makes sense because mult can scale exponentially, and the "averaging out" is like + chips

so adding chips directly would be less effectively

[wintry ice]

anyways what in the world do i sell here

i guess clever

[empty silo]

for what

[terse vale]

mmmm

[wintry ice]

bus

[ancient gyro]

yolk

[humble gulch]

Yeah...

[ancient gyro]

or chaos

[empty silo]

bus is $6 and you have $21

is this some interest thing?

[wintry ice]

i'm a greedy lady so i kept it

[median grove]

so on a plasma deck run, if i want to go with 4oak should i have all my jokers be xmult?

istead of + chips

[ancient gyro]

ikur

[empty silo]

well you need some +mult to multiply

[wintry ice]

that depends on your 4oak level

[humble gulch]

I'M GOING TO CRY

[wintry ice]

if it's low it's better to keep going with chips for now

[empty silo]

credit card in buffoon pack?

[wintry ice]

also this is hot

[terse vale]

I need to do progress on my magic++ but i’ve been mewgenics maxxing and other stuff ,,

[wintry ice]

but it's perishable too so idk

[median grove]

but eventually i should sell wee joker for another mult joker... for a good run after ante 8?

[ancient gyro]

1 d flush already makes its profit

[wintry ice]

i'm selling abstract and chaos

[ancient gyro]

o

[bold gyro]

how good is wrathful joker?

+15 mult doesn't seem as good as when I started the other day

[ancient gyro]

basic early ante jorker

[stoic isle]

pretty good

[terse vale]

I don’t see it

[wintry ice]

i was coaching someone in that balatro tourney's server and they had a really similar build

[ancient gyro]

sinful jokers are naturally perishable

[wintry ice]

it's good for earlygame

[ancient gyro]

you coach ppl now

that's scary

[wintry ice]

it was a group effort

[ancient gyro]

i see

[wintry ice]

this might be one of the few time i go with a flush build

just for the money

[humble gulch]

Banana clutch

[frank notch]

normal amount of jokers

[wintry ice]

well this is a boring resolution to that

painted deck looks inside pairs

pairs are the "looks inside" of gold stake i swear

[humble gulch]

I'm so sorry everyone...

[brave goblet]

Perfectly chill run

[wintry ice]

double gold from grim everyone

[rancid gull]

your neck is being snapped by luna telekinetically rn

[median grove]

is 700 x 1000 a bad spread for plasma deck?

because they are too close together

[wintry ice]

screw deleting cards now it's time to create them

[wintry ice]

probably good to focus on mult now but that beats ante 8 pretty handly

[median grove]

yeah but i want to go for another mega run

should i sell wee joker you think? its giving + 432 which i feel like is really good

[wintry ice]

then sell wee for a mult joker or retriggers when you're able to

[rancid gull]

tbh if youre not going endless

i'd just put it all into wee

[wintry ice]

don't sell it immediately because it's still like a quarter of your score

[humble gulch]

That's funny

[median grove]

but are retriggers good? arent they only good insofar as they scale luckys

[rancid gull]

BUTTT

the xmult is golden

[wintry ice]

they are

[median grove]

i always want to go endless

[wintry ice]

that's the reason why you want them

[median grove]

lucky cat

[wintry ice]

you can also use them in tandem with glass or photo for even more score

[median grove]

trueee

and i guess i could look for the joker that doubles probabilities
