[bleak blaze]

I wanna try to get a bloodstone straight flush build going one of these days

[round current]

that’d be fun

[bleak blaze]

Get like 3 dusks

[stark charm]

Make straight consistent

[indigo mesa]

i love shortcut almost as much as i love four fingers

[stark charm]

I can't complain enough about how many goldstake runs I am killed by not finding straight

[round current]

i love four fingers too

[tranquil otter]

i worded this like i was being ironic but im deadass was this a good bit guys i need feedback

[stark charm]

Probably because I don't fix the deck enough but...

[round current]

everytime i see four fingers i think of loss

[bleak blaze]

Clip the ends to deck fix for straights

Aces, 2's, Kings, 3's

Etc

[round current]

noted

[bleak blaze]

Unless you're like me and always wants to go with Royal Flushes

[round current]

straights are easiest for me on abandoned deck or painted deck

royal flushes are cool

[stark charm]

I even take a shortcut on abandoned...

And just keep using it

[bleak blaze]

Abandoned is the literal straight deck

[round current]

thats smart

[stark charm]

You practically make a straight pair

[round current]

idk if ive had shortcut on abandoned before

[indigo mesa]

like what kind of person takes the burglar there

[bleak blaze]

Once you get straight flushes online they scale insanely well

Best scaling hand in the game I think??

[round current]

honestly yeah probably

[stark charm]

Is flush house faster?

I don't remember the number

[bleak blaze]

idk i don't play those hands enough to know

[fiery nymph]

its tied with flush house

iirc!

for the best

[round current]

flush house is fun

[fiery nymph]

obviously amazing planets but hard to get online

[round current]

but everytime i play flush house i end up just going to flush fives

[bleak blaze]

I usually just stay on gold stake so most of my builds are High card builds

[round current]

true true

[bleak blaze]

16900 high cards played

[round current]

its easier on checkered deck or something

i imagine

[stark charm]

I havent played the checkered deck for so long

[round current]

its pretty fun

[bleak blaze]

Yall need to tap into Yellow Deck

[round current]

i like yellow deck

[stark charm]

Mone

[round current]

i just rarely play it

[fiery nymph]

both are easier there

[bleak blaze]

More money at the start takes away the hardest part of gold stake for me

[round current]

for sure

[bleak blaze]

Money management

I like spending :3

[fiery nymph]

but on a normal deck straight flushes are lil easier for me so i use them more

because same level of fixing as flush house is flush 5

[round current]

oh absolutely

[fiery nymph]

and i rather do flush 5

[round current]

its easier

[stark charm]

There are always so many attractive deals at the yellow deck start

[round current]

more convenient

[fiery nymph]

im pretty sure flush 5 scales less mult but more chips

[bleak blaze]

Ante 1 Overstock or Discount Voucher 😩

AND BEING ABLE TO AFFORD IT

[stark charm]

Is it worth taking?

[bleak blaze]

Absolutely

Overstock means you see more jokers

More jokers you see, the more likely you get good jokers

[bronze pollen]

Negative is a good seed

[stark charm]

You should try antimatter deck

[bronze pollen]

I won on that seed

I can’t

[round current]

congrats

[bronze pollen]

I literally just typed negative on the seed

[indigo mesa]

if i find blue seals this is winnable in my sleep

[round current]

rough gem my beloved

[bleak blaze]

Okay chill it's black stake

[stark charm]

Y'all I am gonna skip small blind with yellowdeck

[round current]

whats the skip tag

[stark charm]

Holographic

[round current]

kinda awesome

[stark charm]

It is probably the worst deck to skip in

But I got holo rocket

[bleak blaze]

Worst decks to skip in

all of them

Why

[stark charm]

It is fun to gamble

[tepid verge]

thought of a solution for alien joker:

Introduce a brand new mechanic :)

[round current]

THIS IS PRETTY COOL..

[bronze pollen]

Oddly enough brain storm do not work on golden joker

[heady zenith]

Neat

[tepid verge]

i think thats because the money isnt a one time and happens at the end of the round

[round current]

if it did it’d be awesome but i guess cause its passive it wont i forgot but yeah

[tranquil oyster]

feels kinda weak ngl
like, this grows by 1 every round? rtb grows by 4.

[round current]

genesis can explain better

[tepid verge]

its not meant to be strong

[round current]

what tbe hell is that spectral

[stark charm]

do i skip again (i cant keep getting away with this)

[heady zenith]

Hex

[tepid verge]

why does everyone assume every joker i put on here is meant to be like a super jacked up joker that can defeat every boss blind

[round current]

i dont i like the little alien guy for who they are

[tranquil oyster]

ik, but this is like very weak. would be a bottom 10% joker.

[round current]

a scaling for planet cards is actually really fun especially with constellation it’s free +mult and xmult no matter what hand u play

[tepid verge]

ooh wait

i could make it scale with planet cards instead

[bleak blaze]

that would be insane

[round current]

maybe maybe

i like insane

[tepid verge]

i mean but also the better you get that the worse it can become

[round current]

also genesis ur name reminds me of the coil / throbbing gristle member

genesis p. orridge

[tepid verge]

the volatility can be a negative side effect too

[round current]

have you been told that a billion times before sorry

[tepid verge]

never lol

[round current]

wtf

i love throbbing gristle

[tepid verge]

if you have 6+ volatility you can start getting negative mult

[round current]

i like i like

[round current]

real

[heady zenith]

Make it anal probe a random joker

[round current]

LMAO?

[tepid verge]

no hees too sweet an innocent for that they only do that once they turn 540

[round current]

they are like a son to me

[tepid verge]

hes only 120 years old hes just a baby :(

[tranquil otter]

dayummm

[round current]

ive never seen the negative of golden ticket wtf

its pretty

[tepid verge]

me if I was a Nat Neg Golden Ticket

[tranquil otter]

working on my collection

of nat neg econ jokers

[round current]

reminds me of when someone had an idea for copper cards that gave u held in hand chips

[bronze pollen]

Brass ticket

[tepid verge]

oooh

[tranquil otter]

ticket tis like basically cosmetic compared to parking but its still pretty cool

[heady zenith]

I'm sorry I didn't know that about the lil guy

[tepid verge]

just remembered i did that already with emerald...

grr

[round current]

that’s so cool what

[marsh swan]

My brain is overloaded what do i do

[round current]

minecraft emerald armor

[tepid verge]

all my current enhancements

[fringe nebula]

grimbo

[round current]

i guess open buffoon pack

[fringe nebula]

no brainer

[marsh swan]

The mega spectral pack is so tempting

[round current]

yeah if you get a shitty joker from buffoon pack sell it for grimbo

[tepid verge]

sell hex free emga spectral

[round current]

obsidian card…

[fringe nebula]

grimbo

[old hearth]

are there any unlocks that are really important to winning? because i can't win

[bronze pollen]

Obelisk sucks ass

[fringe nebula]

not really

[tranquil otter]

ragebait

[bronze pollen]

Not even rage baiting it’s true

[tepid verge]

no offense but like youll get most important unlocks naturally and already likely have them its mostly just skill issue

[fringe nebula]

me when literally all top players put obelisk in s tier

[unreal topaz]

really? why is that?

[round current]

i never build towards obelisk but a lot of people here seem to love it i mean if ur highest played card is a high card just start playing pairs or something and scale

[tepid verge]

so many jokers are ass under most conditions and i think some people forget thatf

[tranquil otter]

YAAAAY FINALLY

[gentle basalt]

Yes, discarding royal flush and making 4 7 of clubs is totally normal 🙂

[tranquil otter]

like 5 antes too late but you know what they say

[indigo mesa]

you have to understand that when people shit on the obelisk, they actually think what they’re saying is true, its almost never intentional ragebait 😭

[gentle basalt]

Or making 30 of one suit

[old hearth]

i just have no idea what to do i've tried watching guides and stuff

[bronze pollen]

Because you have to put your worst hands up and if you play your most used it gets reset

[bronze pollen]

Super nova is better

[tranquil otter]

yeah but he just shows up randomly to say that he hates obelisk? clearly just here to start a fight

[gentle basalt]

I think at least 10 are stuff you need to do specifically

[indigo mesa]

yep im out

[unreal topaz]

okay, a lot of builds have the ability to just pivot from one hand to a variety of others

[round current]

supernova is great but without an xmult you won’t go anywhere unless you have like two burglars

[unreal topaz]

i wouldn't call the other ones "bad" in most contexts

[tepid verge]

also seeing double is NOT an important joker

[round current]

i beat gold stakes with two burglars and scraped by the skin of my teeth by playing 91 pairs😭

[unreal topaz]

it's a really small drawback compared to literally scaling xmult faster than yorick

[round current]

yorick is like my brother i pick apples in the orchard with

[tranquil otter]

discarding royal flush makes sense most of the time after like ante 6 because you're too built into something else to care about it

[ebon condor]

obelisk is not as good as some people say it is but it is still like an s tier joker

[tepid verge]

also can happen pretty naturally with a proper build...

[tranquil otter]

i dont think many people rank it much higher than just an s tier jokr

[bronze pollen]

Obelisk punishes you if you like to play one hands and if you have multiple supernovas it’s great

[round current]

literally just a normal flush five build yeah

[unreal topaz]

people hype it so much bc more casual players seem to hate it

[round current]

u don’t need more than one supernova

[ebon condor]

i mean there was a tier list yesterday that started an entire argument bc obelisk was in top 10 so

[gentle basalt]

Why would flush five need 30 of one suit

[tepid verge]

or just a flush build in general

[unreal topaz]

sounds about right

[round current]

i like to copy and have fun

[ebon condor]

which i disagree with its NOT that good

[tranquil otter]

s tier is probably only like top 10 tho

[tepid verge]

because you dont want to waste your discards / hands searching for the correct cards

[unreal topaz]

yeah, you see enough arcana packs naturally you'll get the suitfixing eventually

[ebon condor]

obelisk isnt quite versatile enough to be a top 10 joker

maybe after the blueseal nerf

[tranquil otter]

frankly obelisk is like a high a tier joker. tons of x mult but you have to lose out on some chips from planets to get it realistically speaking, still if you can make it work it does a ton

[ebon condor]

but not in the current meta state

[unreal topaz]

yeah that's my thoughts on it as well

[round current]

what’s the blue seal nerf

[old hearth]

they need to make stakes easier than white for my bum ass dude

[heady zenith]

Yall hungry

[unreal topaz]

easiest way to nerf it is to make it chance based

[round current]

ohhhh

[tranquil otter]

WHAT does thiis have to do with balatro

Cannibal joker ❤️

[heady zenith]

Death

[manic owl]

idk

[round current]

thats madness joker

[heady zenith]

Chen is not human

[round current]

are any of us truly human anyways

[tepid verge]

oooh i just had a shithole joker idea

[tranquil otter]

yeah probably

[round current]

go on

[tepid verge]

cannibal joker. its like madness but it doesnt get sell value

for mult

so it just eats your jokers...

[fringe nebula]

I mean, why supernova specifically?

in current meta where hand agnostic scoring jokers like bus, red card, and square are really good

[round current]

what so like everytime it eats yeah LMAO

[tranquil otter]

madnesss doesnt get sell value?

[unreal topaz]

do you mean dagger?

[round current]

oh wait true

[tepid verge]

it turs sell value to mult or smsth

oh wait

thats dagger

[tranquil otter]

thats dagger

madness just eatts your jokers for the love of the game

[round current]

its okay i forget dagger exists too

[tepid verge]

but i mean it just like, destroys a random joker

[tepid verge]

it gets mult whenever it does

[round current]

i get what u mean

[tranquil otter]

it gets mult whether or not it eats

[gentle basalt]

No, it gets mult, and destroys joker separately

[round current]

yeah but they mean like u cant control it i guess

[tranquil otter]

you dont have to feed madness people

[tepid verge]

you guys know exactly what i mean

[unreal topaz]

well it gets the xmult first, then tries to eat someone

[old hearth]

like what do i even do to win i try getting a scoring joker immediately, ideally a money joker too, then i try to get xmult and planets

[tranquil otter]

i meant to use a comma but this sentence makes a concerning amount of sense without it

[round current]

where does the comma even go am i stupid

[unreal topaz]

yeah, that's generally the move, you might want to look for a source of scaling then

scaling chips or scaling mult jokers can give you a lot of safety

giving you more shops to find xmult

[knotty zodiac]

would madness be more or less interesting if you needed to feed it like dagger?

[round current]

bull with rough gem my beloved

[serene forge]

balatordle in 2

[tranquil otter]

Neat!

[round current]

just get riff raff and hope it eats one of the other commons i guess

[tranquil otter]

W spoiler

[serene forge]

6 7

[unreal topaz]

it could be more interesting, maybe increase the number slightly to balance it in that case

idk

i think i prefer it as is

[serene forge]

it would be pretty terrible if it was random targeting

[ancient gyro]

idgi

[old hearth]

is baron even that good i just got it in my shop

[ancient gyro]

more annoying

[barren wigeon]

no.

[serene forge]

no

it sucks

[gentle basalt]

Nice anaglyph deck

[round current]

ante 1 absolutely not

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 6

[barren wigeon]

baron is usable if you can easily draw kings and have a high base mult.

[tranquil otter]

omg i did it in 2 as well

[unreal topaz]

the best number i see there is the 44 card deck

[barren wigeon]

otherwise do not use baron.

[tranquil otter]

it was a crazy pull lol

[heady zenith]

A. she's kinda literally a cat and b. She's a child

[tranquil otter]

omg

[fiery nymph]

i was joking

[tranquil otter]

not for winning

[fiery nymph]

but after B im deleting my message

[unreal topaz]

balatro has me really appreciating small decks

[tranquil otter]

im passing this baron and theres nothing anyone can do about it

[old hearth]

baron showed up again the next shop

[ancient gyro]

i forgot how that happened

[round current]

don’t fall for it

[unreal topaz]

you rerolled a good bit

maybe some vouchers gave you more tarots

[heady zenith]

This is bullshit

[unreal topaz]

maybe just arcana packs and fools showing up at the right time

[ancient gyro]

oh yeah

[gentle basalt]

4 hangmen is reasonable from just arcana packs?

[unreal topaz]

overstock and seed money

[ancient gyro]

freaky

[unreal topaz]

yeah, it is

[unreal topaz]

realistically its 5 bc standard packs have value generators usually

[knotty zodiac]

its probably too good if it starts at 0x and adds 1x per sb/bb?

[gentle basalt]

Definitely too good

[unreal topaz]

and less than 5 bc of fools

[ancient gyro]

oh yeah

[unreal topaz]

still, i dont always get that much card removal in a typical pair run

i prioritize it, but still

[fringe nebula]

why are you posting chen pics

[ancient gyro]

I don't need to rely on it

[tepid verge]

oh yeah the X1 mult is there for no reason

it has like literally no mult gain and does nothing

[unreal topaz]

gotta love purple seals

[round current]

does this mean that joker is essentially like erased from the seed that’d be funny

[round current]

can it naneinf

[tepid verge]

ooh idk if i can do that lemme see

[heady zenith]

Meow :3

[ancient gyro]

an anti showman joker

[round current]

LOL

[heady zenith]

Actual bullshit

[tranquil otter]

i think i used one too many ectos :(

hand so small and i even have bean to help ouut

i miss 50 hand size

[tranquil otter]

the joker slot is so tempting

[round current]

is this touhou

[bronze pollen]

Rate this set up

[ebon condor]

photos in the wrong place

[unreal topaz]

this was an insane ante 2 just now

[bronze pollen]

We’re should it be

[ebon condor]

after the smiley face

[round current]

yyeah put smiley before photo

[tepid verge]

so i tried doing this but im using jokerforge and i got SO far but it turns out you cant set "change card appearance" to choose a variable

[ancient gyro]

whare*

[tepid verge]

fuck my stupid baka life

[ebon condor]

you could make it just add a negative eternal debuffed version of that joker maybe?

[tepid verge]

i think i have a possible solution. 99% chance it wont work

[ebon condor]

or make it debuffed eternal and negative

[tepid verge]

showman bypasses

[bronze pollen]

Whare

[ebon condor]

yeah but it should regardless

imo

if you dont want that then sure

[tepid verge]

so the variable has a name and im thinking maybe if i put that in there it'll work

[round current]

mayhaps

[tepid verge]

test time :D

lemme make it so the test deck gives me it

i think this is a jokerforge issue...

because its having a problemf inding the possible jokers

What are the odds of spectral cards showing up in arcana packs with omen globe?

[round current]

idk the exact odds but i usually get one or two every arcana pack

[mental vale]

I opened a jumbo arcana pack and 4 of these cards are spectral cards

Ah I see

[bronze pollen]

I’m definitely going to win

[round current]

the nope one is kinda ehh

no literally

i guess theyre so expensive cause they’re always limited

negative parking into double blueprint in like ante 7 probably beats poly bp negative parking b2b

i don't like the cloud above the wheel but besides that ireally love it

[vivid stump]

red stake black deck is actually difficult

[bronze pollen]

Ok

[round current]

black deck in general difficult

[vivid stump]

not on white stake

black deck red stake is buns already idk how ima deal with black deck gs

u make no money

should i grimbo or save money

[left vigil]

How does a legendary joker that copies all of the jokers effects to the far right sound, like makes 2 spectrals for sixth sense, copy troubedor for -2 hands and +4 handsize

[vivid stump]

is that a backwards brainstorm or a better blueprint i cant tell

[left vigil]

Backwards brainstorm and better than both of them

[viral raft]

u could take grimbo to scale it while you oneshot with Banana

[left vigil]

Because they can't copy effects of stuff like juggler, trou and sixth sense

[viral raft]

so then you just play pair or a easy and

[iron vigil]

sounds broken if it can be copied by blueprint or brainstorm

but i guess since its legendary....

[left vigil]

That's why it's legendary

Yes

[iron vigil]

lit effect tho it surprisingly sounds kinda balanced

[left vigil]

Because both brainstorm and blueprint are rare, a better version of them would be legendary

[vivid stump]

so just a backwards brainstorm thats compatable with everything

[left vigil]

Yes

[vivid stump]

well i think we dont need more legendary joker but a new copy joker would be nice

[left vigil]

True but more jokers are being added to Balatro for the new update so I think it'd be cool

[vivid stump]

yea

[solemn basin]

Yo

[vivid stump]

yo

[left vigil]

TBF though I think my idea is a little bit lack luster

Like it's balanced and it adds a new cool joker

But like there's already 2 jokers that do similar

There has to be more like

Clever jokers

[tranquil oasis]

steel joker, DNA, Blueprint AND brainstorm, and hologram🥹✌️

I’m in heaven🥹✌️

[left vigil]

Interesting jokers

[left vigil]

W synergy

[noble mango]

Midas or vampre to the left

W cloud nine

pricey

[versed sable]

a little bit

[tranquil otter]

not my most expensive

not by a mile

[pallid galleon]

huge

[tranquil otter]

but quite pricey

[versed sable]

you have mod manager open, is it just QOL stuff?

[versed sable]

I could reroll up to about $2300 with my current money apparently
cool

[tranquil oasis]

you know despite my hatred for chicot

he’s the only joker I have a sticker on

of the legendary category that is

[tranquil otter]

ur almost there brro

[versed sable]

almost where

[pallid galleon]

there

[tranquil otter]

my highest

2500

[versed sable]

unmodded?

[tranquil otter]

qol mods

unseeded tho

[versed sable]

fun

[serene forge]

I hate BLoodstone

[versed sable]

brainstorm mod for rerolling seeds? or no
was it or

[tranquil otter]

no brainstorm

and it was bean

[versed sable]

fancy

[tranquil otter]

i dont think perkeo can reach those numbers

[vivid stump]

wait how does bean get you money

[tranquil otter]

doc did some absurd run with perkeo and chicot and a bunch of nonsense all to get like a few hundred grand

[tranquil otter]

bean glitch for a lot of hand size

[versed sable]

bean glitch (#🕹・game-discussion message) giving hand size, for ectos and/or Parking value

[vivid stump]

oh

e5816 is wild lmao

[versed sable]

parking or ticket? xd

[tranquil otter]

parking ofc

[versed sable]

i feel like ticket is probably better but i've been using parking

[tranquil otter]

with that much hand size parking is way better

esp. when serpent exists

[versed sable]

idk
i'm bad at math

i do have this atleast

[vivid stump]

trading card and vagabond is like antisynergy

[tranquil otter]

u look like you could use another ecto or 2 lol

[versed sable]

next ecto is -10 handsize
i have 12 copying jokers already

[noble mango]

Can't you just

Play the hand

Then discard
Then play final hand

[vivid stump]

hmm

[tough swift]

totally would have lost this run without him. there was a manacle before this that would have ruined my discards

[tranquil otter]

i think at least 1 more is worth taking

[vivid stump]

i dont think deck fixing is necessary for black deck red stake

[noble mango]

Cloud none

[tranquil otter]

deck fixing is allways necesary

[vivid stump]

endless doesnt exist

[noble mango]

Unless ante 8

Endless

Deckfix is 100% needed

[vivid stump]

idk why i have trading card

[versed sable]

could be..?
but it's too late now lol

[tranquil otter]

nothing is necesary in ante 8

[tranquil otter]

take it if you find it in the shop iig

[noble mango]

Actually you do need joker or planet

Or enhancement

[tranquil otter]

"you need something" no shit dumbass

[noble mango]

You can't win ante 8 without buying anything or skipping thingy

[tranquil otter]

you need A thing

can be one of many things

you can win without any one of the things making none of them truly neccesary

[vivid stump]

the beauty of balatro

[tranquil otter]

think i could get hand level wr?

probably

[vivid stump]

whats ur hand level rn

[stark charm]

Has anyone won a goldstake with three pairs?

Wait six pairs are actually pretty common hand

[tranquil otter]

????????

what does this mean bro

[stark charm]

Has anyone won a goldstake with three of a kind?

[frank notch]

i assume so

[vivid stump]

fortune teller vagabond is pretty good

[tranquil otter]

lol i have 3 of them

[tranquil otter]

yes obviously

[wooden pagoda]

best order?

[tranquil otter]

this might be the worst order you couldve done right here

[wooden pagoda]

no im asking whats the best order my god

[tranquil otter]

yeah i figured

what is ur straight level at

it matters a lot

[wooden pagoda]

1

[tranquil otter]

Buh

crafty brainstorm blueprint blueprint order

[wooden pagoda]

thx

[ancient gyro]

crafty is the flush chips

[vivid stump]

lol

those names are so hard to remember

[ancient gyro]

i remember all of them from enough repetition 🫩

[vivid stump]

throwback disgusts me

[stark charm]

But skipping blind make you beat game faster

(It also make you lose game faster)

[subtle drum]

true

skip responsibly 👍🏼

[stark charm]

GET THROWBACK ANTE 1 AND SKIP EVERYBLIND

[narrow scroll]

throwback and madness are my childhood friends

[stark charm]

We have 1200 the joke on ante 1 in cryptid

[manic vault]

and get the joker that takes beating the game in 12 rounds or less

[vivid stump]

madness is better than throwback by a wide margin

[frank notch]

madness and throwback cannot be scaled at the same time

[vivid stump]

thats true

[empty mauve]

Possibly the best Rich get Richer run I could’ve gotten (ante 2 bootstraps, brainstorm, the trio, and negatives). Bootstraps alone was enough to beat ante 8 small blind

[frank notch]

i only consider skipping if 1: the skip tag is negative tag, orbital tag for my main hand, or investment and 2: it would be better than scaling my jokers

[knotty zodiac]

casual 1184 chips on bull

[empty mauve]

I beat the final blind by 6.5 million 🤑

[viral raft]

Guys i'm cooking ts or nah? It's not finished but i lowk feel proud of this crap

[empty mauve]

Anti-whole run synergy

[knotty zodiac]

dawn warrior?

[viral raft]

Yeah idk

Someone told me to do a katana so i did this instead

[knotty zodiac]

dawn warrior joker. retriggers scored face cards 2 times on the first hand

[viral raft]

This is not a joker idea 😭😭😭

[knotty zodiac]

now it is xD

[viral raft]

But yeah i see the vision

Fair enough

Tbh my first pixelart was a joker

[knotty zodiac]

you did this manually in aseprite or similar?

[viral raft]

A resprite from greedy joker to one of the sins from Isaac

[viral raft]

Yep! I use aseprite

[knotty zodiac]

nice

[viral raft]

Took me like 3 days 😭😭

[knotty zodiac]

dat shading doe

👌

[viral raft]

Yeaaah, i don't like it at all

[knotty zodiac]

no?

[viral raft]

I mean yes and nah

Like i see the idea but if you realice i use many shades of grey

[frank notch]

whats a counting channel

[knotty zodiac]

its very clean. no jagged curves

or whatever those are called

[noble mango]

Just for people who are bored

Eh nvm just play balatro ngl
Xd

[viral raft]

Rtb because is +1 each and also fully resets at only one face card

[noble mango]

Aight nice

[viral raft]

Obelisk could be good idea but is a 0,2x mult

[empty mauve]

Final numbers on each of the jokers

[viral raft]

So is not so consistent with the idea of counting

Because counts by 2

[heady zenith]

I'm scared

[noble mango]

Resets if last discord user does it again or mess up

[heady zenith]

What do you mean yes or no

There's no question

[pallid galleon]

these are still possible responses

[heady zenith]

He gave me an egg

[stark charm]

bruh my game

it is too jolly

when am i gonna beat the game...

[median cave]

anyone has a guide to copy mobile progress to steam?

[stark charm]

it has been 8 minute

i just want to win the game dawg

[molten thicket]

you can't i think

[heady zenith]

I mean you kinda can but it breaks rule 4 in the modding side

[heady fable]

Just won with obelisk for the first time, it's pretty good

Especially as a nat poly

[junior urchin]

I hate the obelisk because I’m not smart enough to use it

Is discord broken

[heady fable]

For me it just keeps showing up when my hands are too spread out and or Im relying on planet levels too much

[rapid cargo]

This will probably be one of my best runs.

I want to take this time to thank the Polychrome Burnt Joker who got me to a level 103 High Card and the three Mimes and Blueprint I got before the Baron finally showed up.

[pallid galleon]

[surreal dragon]

OMG DELTARUNE REFERENCE

[gaunt burrow]

wrath give the holo brainstorm, best trade ever

[rigid mesa]

Is this John pairslop?

Two pairslop

[rigid mesa]

Why

[gaunt burrow]

no place

[rigid mesa]

Sell perkalator its doing nothing for your build

I cant see your deck but cryptic exploit only w9rks on ghost

And either way blueprint is just a better brainstorm

Just swap them

No reason not to its not like 50 chips is going to make or break your build

[rigid mesa]

Wdym ❌

Im literally right

You have to have the card in your consumable slot

[random lark]

jokers that generate spectrals

[rigid mesa]

You can only do that on ghost deck

[rigid mesa]

Ok true but

Do you see one there

[slow iris]

I hate Throwback

[spark kernel]

Peak thumbnail

[gaunt burrow]

i planning to have perkeo to copy more lover or jupiter

[rigid mesa]

Lowk sell perkalator bro

[rigid mesa]

Its 2x mult

[gaunt burrow]

jst saw this ealry this morning

[rigid mesa]

[gaunt burrow]

keeping the perkeo is more fun , than take the blue print though

[real flicker]

Roffle lite, I hope thunder strikes your house and burns you ✌️

[slow iris]

sobquestion

[rigid mesa]

[terse dock]

aww I like your pfp

[earnest stag]

The strongest start I’ve ever had.
(40 hours into the game on Switch 2)

[rigid mesa]

Which has less value clever or 8 ball

[stark karma]

Is credit card the most nothing burger joker ever?

[flat peak]

just wondering, whats the jokers/decks a new player should speedrun getting?

[stark karma]

Brainstorm

Blueprint

Ghost and Plasma

Brainstorm is kinda the definitive one

[round current]

yoo ggs

have fun

[flat peak]

noted

[stark karma]

Easy to get it on checkered deck

Oh also you can easily unlock antimatter by doing funky stuff with the blank voucher

[rigid mesa]

Is this worth?

[round current]

what xmult is throwback at

[eternal minnow]

@unique ledge post it here

[lament condor]

Unc still got it

[lime remnant]

type of build showing up when im playing painted deck:

[lament condor]

W unc for keeping up with the times

[lime remnant]

folk

wdym i only have 4 joker slot

😭

[unique ledge]

🐱

i had to waste a negative luchador on this boss ^^

but first win woohoo

[tender axle]

Bro how do you do this i had lvl 8 flush and every hand dud flushes and I still lost to this

[lament condor]

The flint punishes players who rely on hand levels

[rigid mesa]

2.25

[tender axle]

And that's exactly what happened 💔

[rigid mesa]

Bro used the effect of luchador

[lament condor]

if you have your scoring mainly in jokers rather then planet cards and hand levels you'll breeze past it

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rigid mesa]

"Planet cards and hand levels"

[shadow kindle]

I love paradolia. Just beat blue stake on ghost deck with Paradolia, Smiley Face, Scary Face, Sock and Buskin, Brainstorm, and absolutely zero deck building.

[tender axle]

Wrong image

[lament condor]

its late im tired

[serene forge]

post jonklers

[tender axle]

This is what I had during the battle 😔

[rigid mesa]

Did you really need popcorn more than that luchador

[lament condor]

jokers of doom and dispair

[rigid mesa]

Did you really need +2 mult

[serene forge]

that doesn't look like flush build to me

[shadow kindle]

@rigid mesa I am not the transformer 😔

[lament condor]

thats the amazing thing about the flush noob trap

[tender axle]

Doom and despair? 💔😔

[shadow kindle]

You could have all the blueprints and brainstorms in the world but nothing meaningful to copy. - Aristotle

[lament condor]

it'll get them to antes 4-6 easily with any jokers honestly but unless they actually have jokers that synergize with flushes (or jokers that are good on their own) it'll do nothing

[shadow kindle]

If blueprints are your power, what are you when it's the only thing you have? - Socretes

If perkeo is your power, what are you without observatory? - me

The smaller the circle, the better the people - epic games

[slow iris]

yeah that's why they laid off over 1,000 of their employees

[shadow kindle]

They had to make room to copy what they wanted with invisible joker

you wouldn't wanna accidentally copy Jimbo instead of tribulet would you

epic games was just tryna hit naneinf

[echo sphinx]

gonna cry what is this run

[shadow kindle]

That feeling when you get a royal flush first hand round one

[echo sphinx]

yeah sure just give me 5 of the best scoring jokers ive ever gotten

[cursive lion]

later skate vessel blinds scare me

[echo sphinx]

😭

[worldly barn]

that feeling when knee surgery is tomorrow

[echo sphinx]

om

[worldly barn]

Someone pick a deck

[shadow kindle]

"He hid for 30 years"

[shadow kindle]

Spectral

[echo sphinx]

painted

[worldly barn]

hmm

think I'll play painted

[echo sphinx]

yayy

[cursive lion]

zodiac is honestly probably my favourite deck to play

even for casual white or black runs due to its flexiblity

[gaunt burrow]

plasma deck blind scale so fast , i cant keep up with it

[echo sphinx]

fair its goated

[patent sail]

honestly it was one of those decks that i forgot existed, but after gold staking it i actually think its super fun (especially after going to a different deck and losing that 1 extra shop slot)

[autumn trout]

Ive done like 100 runs over almost 6 months now. Not a single win. Am I dumb at this or is it the intended experience?

[patent sail]

attend balatro unversity 🐎🔥

[gaunt burrow]

intended for me

[patent sail]

aka watch Balatro 101 by Balatro University on youtube, a series of short videos for beginners

i think they are SUPER helpful

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[autumn trout]

Would that be considered cheating

[echo sphinx]

is usually skill issue
whatchu doing

[patent sail]

no??

why would that be cheating

[echo sphinx]

when the fuck did we consider education to be cheating

im sobbing

[autumn trout]

Idk. I think I’m just dumb.

[patent sail]

he just explains fundamentals of the game

[cursive lion]

it isn't cheating to learn how to play

[echo sphinx]

strap on bucko and start learning how to generate monis and score

[unique ledge]

ummm...?

[patent sail]

alright?

thats like not very hard

[echo sphinx]

generally the question is "how to greed for monis as hard as possible while still meeting the scoring target"

[echo sphinx]

double tag a voucher skip

[autumn trout]

Is it unusual to be this bad at it. Over 100 runs no win.

[unique ledge]

no i mean

why is the ace on the title turned into that

[echo sphinx]

oh

[patent sail]

seems unusually bad to me, sorry

[echo sphinx]

neat tbh

[patent sail]

always turns into something you havent unlocked yet

[unique ledge]

lol

[patent sail]

if you have everything unlocked it doesnt turn into anything

[echo sphinx]

balocktro

[autumn trout]

Im bout to quit forever if these videos don’t help. Do they cover strategy or just the basic rules? I have the rules down i think.

[patent sail]

what deck you playin and whacha doin on there

we can help you during a run if you provide screenshots AND go watch balatro 101 right now

[patent sail]

why certain things are good and what you need to take into consideration

[autumn trout]

I will pull up balatro 101

[patent sail]

specifically by balatro university, this man is like John Balatro

[autumn trout]

Bet

Im watching rn

Ugh it’s math

[patent sail]

what were you expecting in a game about numbers

[autumn trout]

Im jkjk

[echo sphinx]

me when numbers start adding

[spark kernel]

Finally beat nebula deck gold stake got yorick last second which gave me an automatic gold sticker for him

[echo sphinx]

what the fric lol

nice build

[spark kernel]

Arent i very lucky

[humble gulch]

Oops all polychrome

[echo sphinx]

me when ghost deck

[autumn trout]

What I know so far is mult is better than chips.

Even though I’ve played 10+ hours of this game

SMH.

[patent sail]

you need to have both, thats the thing

[echo sphinx]

sounds outdated ngl

[spark kernel]

Also 3/5 wheel pf fortunes hit

And the rare tag gave me an eternal brainstorm

[humble gulch]

Gg

[echo sphinx]

???????????

[spark kernel]

Goatedchrome

[echo sphinx]

gg indeed

[patent sail]

John Build is like

+chips, +mult and xmult

and maybe some utility/econ somewhere if you can afford it (which you probably should)

[autumn trout]

Okay whats the most important part for dummies. I’ve played. So. Much. Of this damn game snd haven’t won a single one.

[echo sphinx]

monis

[patent sail]

quick guide to balatro:

play pairs

thank you for watching

and stay above the interest cap i guess 🐎🔥

[simple stratus]

First time I got a obelisk to work

[echo sphinx]

more monis = more shop purchases = more planets/rerolls/playing card gambling packet/tarots/etc = stronger scoring
@autumn trout

[autumn trout]

What ive learned tonight is there needs to be a chips mult balance. But specifically how to do this i dont know.

[patent sail]

if you only have mult get some chips (from a joker or hand level), and vise versa

[delicate sun]

cheesed

[autumn trout]

Can one of yall help me through a run

So I can actually learn

[patent sail]

yup

this is THE chat for that

[echo sphinx]

sure

[patent sail]

send screenshots here as you go

[echo sphinx]

go start a run

[patent sail]

but DONT crop them

[autumn trout]

Ok Im started

[patent sail]

we need all the info

[autumn trout]

Do I go red or blue or yellow or green or black

[echo sphinx]

yellow ig idk

[patent sail]

yellow is super good for early econ

black is the hardest in the game imo 🐎🔥

[autumn trout]

Ive chosen yellow.

Started small blind with 2 pair

[patent sail]

you should look for one shot hand on small blind

flush/straight/full house

[humble gulch]

Ugh, no sticker

[autumn trout]

Got a straight and won small blind

[humble gulch]

Whatever

[autumn trout]

I’ll show what my shop looks like rn

[patent sail]

pack

[humble gulch]

Shoot the moon

[patent sail]

jonkler pack too tho

[echo sphinx]

lets go gambling
buffoon pack

[autumn trout]

Jonklerz

[patent sail]

YOOOOO

[humble gulch]

Go marble holo

[patent sail]

SQUARE MAN

tho id take holo marble

[humble gulch]

[autumn trout]

Shiny boy?

[patent sail]

i love square but marble better here

[autumn trout]

I get shiny boy then right

Ok what next for shop

[humble gulch]

Fuck

[patent sail]

enough to carry you till ante 2

[kindred stump]

Do i use it?

[echo sphinx]

go next

[weak relic]

Still not me

[patent sail]

play flsuhes and farm money for now

[autumn trout]

I buy only jonkler pack?

[patent sail]

for now yes, when youre above $25 any you can afford

[echo sphinx]

shiny boy enough scoring for a while

[autumn trout]

Im tempted.

[patent sail]

nah

5 bucks not worth

[autumn trout]

Bet

[patent sail]

90% of the time skips are gonna be actively worse, thats what you gotta learn

[humble gulch]

That's like one of the worst skips you can take

[patent sail]

only take them in desperation really

[autumn trout]

I have won big blind in one full house

[patent sail]

goog

yay

[patent sail]

parking yooo

free money

spectral looks hot too

[weak relic]

Wheres ur stm?

[patent sail]

maybe immolate

[weak relic]

U didn't take it?

[autumn trout]

What lol

[echo sphinx]

not worth

[patent sail]

sniny boy will be ebough for now

[weak relic]

.

[autumn trout]

Buy nothing?

[patent sail]

till like mid ante 2 it will carry alone

Id take parkinh

[echo sphinx]

go next (i would gamble spectral but)

[patent sail]

spectral is also hot

spectral it up honestly

[echo sphinx]

parking is potential good take

cuz its monis

actually

i forgot its holo

parking is the absolute take

even 9 high is 100 scoring

[autumn trout]

Oh boy my computer died

So advise me while it’s charging

[patent sail]

okay so like rn strat is

probably just get as many faces in hand as you can, play garbage till the last hand to farm money and then play something strong on the last hand to win

[autumn trout]

I take parking it looks like

[slow iris]

you get more money by playing the blind

[autumn trout]

ok so anything else after parking

[patent sail]

also take spectral pack tbh, 90% of the time these are good

and if its immolate in there you got a jackpot

[patent sail]

gold seal is the best looking one i believe

everybody else left 😭

[autumn trout]

To what card shall I add it.

[icy hollow]

No blueprint brainstorm or baron/mime yet 😭 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[patent sail]

either some face or 9 i think, whatever youre likely to play more

[autumn trout]

Ok anything else for store

[patent sail]

if you took parking go next

whats money looking like?

[autumn trout]

I have 15$

[patent sail]

good enough

[autumn trout]

The next blind is the club.

[patent sail]

$3 interest

one very important rule is to try your best to stay above $25 to maximise the interest

its not a requirement, you can go below if youre very desperate but its nice to do so

[sonic nexus]

Beat 15 minute city

[autumn trout]

Im usually okay at knowing what hands to play but I need help.

[sonic nexus]

I need help for beating rich get richer

[patent sail]

discard to get more faces for parking

then play some garbage like high card of any non face to farm parking money

you got +10 mult poly and score is very low rn, youll be fine

[autumn trout]

Oh? This is some aggressive strategy that I have never considered before. You are wise.

Do debuffed cards count for parking?

[slow iris]

no

[patent sail]

nope

if score is low play a good hand as the last one to win

[autumn trout]

I think I know what my issue playing before was. I was playing to stay alive and move along, not to strategize.

[humble gulch]

Two stickers

[patent sail]

hell yea bus

[shell rock]

that's, like, so much reserved parking value

[kind creek]

Doing medusa right now, raised fist doesn't work wit hstone cards, does it?

[shell rock]

this is why reserved parking is absolutely the goat

[humble gulch]

It doesn't

[autumn trout]

What do I do.

[kind creek]

the 100 mult dram, crushed to 50 bits and chips

[shell rock]

you have holo on marble joker so play your debuffed cards for two hands and on your last one play the full house with the gold seal

[kind creek]

Play both debuffed cards

[patent sail]

farm money till last hand

[shell rock]

the holo ensures you can get out safely

[autumn trout]

Woah money :0

[patent sail]

ikr‼️‼️‼️‼️

[autumn trout]

What now wise people

[patent sail]

parking is like one of those jokers i thought was ass when i started playing

[patent sail]

square my beloved but idk, you got stones for chips

id look into packs since you can afford them without going velow 25 bucks

[autumn trout]

Do I go jonkler pack

[patent sail]

arcana first lowk

[bronze pollen]

Yeah

[patent sail]

SOUL

[bronze pollen]

Whoah

[patent sail]

WHAT

[bronze pollen]

Yeah

[patent sail]

insta take

[bronze pollen]

Soul

[autumn trout]

It look fancy.

[patent sail]

legendary joker

0.3% in any arcana/spectral pack

[bronze pollen]

I will murder you if you don’t take soul

[autumn trout]

W h a t. Does this mean.

[kind creek]

I say cut the 4 and 7 of diamonds to see more face cards for your parking

[patent sail]

YOOO

you got a good one

[bronze pollen]

NICE

[patent sail]

wait no

its the mid one nevermind

[autumn trout]

What does it even dooooo

[patent sail]

probably the most useless one for ante 8 runs

[kind creek]

This can get like strengths and deaths and hanged men for parking

[bronze pollen]

Better than yorick

[patent sail]

okay so

you have a consumable bought

[kind creek]

If you have a consumable in your pocket, it will give you a negative copy of a random one each shop

[patent sail]

it will create a negative copy of it when you leave the shop

thats it

[bronze pollen]

Basically duping it

[patent sail]

at worst its free $4 every shop

[autumn trout]

What now

[patent sail]

at best its free consuambles duping

[patent sail]

jonkler pack maybe

[kind creek]

I'd look for a death or hanged man or something in the shop here

since you have perkeo, might as well

definitely take the buffoon pack too, you need some more scoring

[patent sail]

if jokers are ass you can sell what you get and get either square or misprint

[bronze pollen]

Yeah if you do Jupiter for flush’s you can level that up fast

[patent sail]

let perkeo be for now

[bronze pollen]

Egg

[patent sail]

either ramen or the diamonds one idk

actually

you got +10 holo

youre fine on scorefor now

[patent sail]

yeah i guess egg

[autumn trout]

Got egg.
