[vale shale]

Srickers

[lapis blade]

purr-kay-oh
or
purr-key-oh

i think perkeo sounds cooler lowk

[naive frigate]

Yoo paraidolia with the smiley face

[pastel pagoda]

Actually would take pareidolia over baron here

[naive frigate]

Am i missing something

[naive frigate]

My deck has less kings that other face cards

So it's a good choice probably

[hoary moon]

its good to see people that are new to the game

[naive frigate]

Yeah i got a chance to buy it recently

[zinc sigil]

Ankh stupid?

How strong is poly stm

[naive frigate]

Do i get the blueprint

[pastel pagoda]

Kill smeared probably

Or lusty

I would kill lusty here

[naive frigate]

Nah i got 19 heart cards

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah

[naive frigate]

Is this how i do it

[pastel pagoda]

No

Put it on smiley

Since pareidolia

[naive frigate]

Oh yeah that makes sense

AAAAAND new run

[pastel pagoda]

oof

pareidolia gets killed ig

[harsh relic]

i wouldnt ankh

[naive frigate]

How do i re roll a boss

[zinc sigil]

Yea I shouldnt have that shit is ass

[harsh relic]

you ankhed stm?

[naive frigate]

Like genuinely my luck should be studied

[fathom pagoda]

Likely less strong than Foil + Campfire, but you could hold onto the Ankh in case you find something really strong later.

Oh nvm too late

[zinc sigil]

Shit is so fucking ass

Holy shit

[fathom pagoda]

Unused Medium?

[naive frigate]

Oh my son

[hoary moon]

number 1 rule of balatro is always taking blueprint

always

no excuses

[naive frigate]

And if'n i don't

[zinc sigil]

Used it now I was mad

[hoary moon]

its a sin

[tawny bough]

fuck i was litterally on track for my first naneinf and the boom fucking plant

[naive frigate]

Holy shit 😭

[zinc sigil]

That shit does nothing

Baron overhyped

[naive frigate]

Hey its free

[hoary moon]

rule number 2 is not skipping

[zinc sigil]

Still ass

[tawny bough]

litterally the one boss i didnt look at man what the fuck

[zinc sigil]

[naive frigate]

Yeah vro im not doing a small bind for literally no reward

[hoary moon]

you need perkolator for naneninf

[tawny bough]

yeah ik

or

whats his name

uh

[unborn cliff]

oh okay

[hoary moon]

perkeo

[tawny bough]

no theres loads more methods lmao

[fathom pagoda]

The Shop is the reward, especially if it offers any ecan joker.

[naive frigate]

Im a criminal

[hoary moon]

a bit more difficult to pull off

[hoary moon]

voucher tag with 7 dollars

arrest this man

[ancient gyro]

sure

[tawny bough]

depends but also i had really really good econ going on

[woven hare]

hi chat

[naive frigate]

I'll think about it

[hoary moon]

2 runs btw

and probably bluperint wouldve helped

[hoary moon]

realistically perkeo is the only way to get naneinf

without glitches

[naive frigate]

I just hit the jackpot

[tawny bough]

now thats some dumb shit LMAO

[hoary moon]

i said realistically

[tawny bough]

i can read :p

[hoary moon]

you can get double chicot and stuf

but i mean

[tawny bough]

dude never heard of burglar

[hoary moon]

i was gonna get to that

5 blueprints and burglar

[tawny bough]

honestly can be easier to get than perkeo in alot of runs

[hoary moon]

to get really close

[hoary moon]

thats what realistically means gng

[calm furnace]

I LOVE VENUS

[woven hare]

just plasma man

[calm furnace]

too bad couldnt make use of glass joker

[naive frigate]

Wait is the blueprint better with photograph or ancient joker

[tawny bough]

ur making litterally 0 sense right now i just said that burglar is easier to get naneinf than perkeo

[woven hare]

egg

[hoary moon]

ancient

[calm furnace]

4 out 6 win streak is now done with 3oak 👀

[hoary moon]

i read wrong

[woven hare]

bro

[naive frigate]

No but i genuinely gotta skip this

[woven hare]

😭

[hoary moon]

but u need lots of blueprints and brainstorms

on top of mime and baron

[tawny bough]

this is the one skip u can take but only if u r in ante 1 maybe ante 2

[naive frigate]

Its el tres ante

[woven hare]

take all skips

every single one

we love juggler tag

[noble mango]

do i play pears

[woven hare]

aple

[noble mango]

fruitbalatro

[hoary moon]

lets say u use 2 ectoplasms and antimatter, u need 3 slots for baron mime and burger and then you can get 5 blueprints, u also need crazy econ to reroll bosses while scoring and also money for rerolls to get all your blueprints and brainstorms

[noble mango]

pineapple

[tawny bough]

realistically u need like 2 or 3 if u r smart and take the boss reroll voucher to allow you to reroll for the boss

[fathom pagoda]

Investment Tag is one of the few genuinely good skips, when it shows up early at least.

[hoary moon]

2 or 3 aint naneinfing

[tawny bough]

which isnt insanely hard if u have like 5k which is what the average naneinf run has

[woven hare]

1 rebate :

[ancient gyro]

didn't need it

[woven hare]

rebate burglar is the objective best combo

[hoary moon]

true

[zinc sigil]

Before this shop I had 27 bucks and the poly showman wtf was that holy highcard build 😭

[ancient gyro]

the two most frequent naneinf methods don't use legendaries

[zinc sigil]

Forgot the pic

[tawny bough]

wait wtf are you talking abt

[woven hare]

/s

[noble mango]

has anybody ever got to this scenario

you got aj selecting clubs
the boss disables hearts
you skip the blind (reroll boss tag) to keep hearts
the boss rerolls to disabling clubs

i mean it might be wrong suit

[zinc sigil]

Yo succulent hope u have a nice day

[tawny bough]

thank you because legendaries are not easy to get at all

[fathom pagoda]

Stuntman not Showman. Two very different jokers.

[woven hare]

yeah fym realistically only way

[zinc sigil]

Oh sorry

[tawny bough]

and they arent even super good in the first place

[fathom pagoda]

No worries

[woven hare]

WE LOVE CANIO

[ebon condor]

this is pretty rare so

[tawny bough]

they are brainrotted by perkeo addicts

[noble mango]

wdym

x mult when you are discarding cards is stupidly good

[woven hare]

i goofed my first ever perkeo :(

[noble mango]

there will be blood
stone

[woven hare]

this was a random checkered run i played to unlock challenges

i normally play ghost deck

[hoary moon]

its because of the damn bloodstone

[tawny bough]

then no need to worry abt it

[woven hare]

every single time its bloodstones fault

[noble mango]

i forgot but what ante

[woven hare]

um uh

[tawny bough]

oh yeah that one is insanely good actually but the rest idk

[woven hare]

yorick

[hasty trail]

i havent seen a voucher skip All Game and i still dont have retcon or antimatter do i sell dna for the cola

[zinc sigil]

Fartomancer over smiley face?

[ebon condor]

most legendaries are very good for a8 gs

[zinc sigil]

Kinda need both smiley and showman

[fathom pagoda]

Likely yeah

[woven hare]

pivot to banner

[zinc sigil]

Whats my gameplan here isnt my score just capped with the planets I buy

[ancient gyro]

what's snb doing :/

[hasty trail]

good plan

[zinc sigil]

Another retrigger for photo

No

[ancient gyro]

x2 can't be that mandatory

[hoary moon]

socking and busking

[zinc sigil]

kk

I remember now

I wanted to flush five

Well whatever its gone now

[noble mango]

Chigoat -> just ignore the boss and he takes your space

Perkeo -> pretty good, just, not helping much scoring

Canio -> Why u murderin face cards, plus murderin cards isn't as easy as you need hangman or the trade card

Yorick -> Busted my goat

Trib -> Photograph but better

[woven hare]

hey speaking of plans

[open gale]

Holy showman

[woven hare]

whats the play here

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[vale shale]

Ccicpt

[open gale]

Hold R

[tawny bough]

yeah pretty much and for how hard they are to get yorick is the only good one and well ig u can say trib too tbh but perkeo is absolutely overrated

[ebon condor]

$20 econ
not that crazy
make it make sense

[hasty trail]

hex only sells for 2 so just open the joker pack and cry cuz it'll be 2 rentals in there

[woven hare]

I KNOW

[noble mango]

mime + + Brainstorm + 6 gold cards

[vale shale]

Are you guys saying that canio is bad?

Am I hearing this right

[woven hare]

canio can be good

[ebon condor]

mhm yep absolutely reasonable comparison

[hasty trail]

no legendary is bad 👍

[tawny bough]

yeah its saved my ass in like 1 run lmao

[hasty trail]

cuz they're legendary

[ebon condor]

great job you did it

[woven hare]

just ussually appears at the worst time

[hasty trail]

i think

[vale shale]

My leg joker tier is
Yorick > Canio > Chicot > Perkeo > Trib

[woven hare]

canio pareidolia is an instawin

[open gale]

Do I take Sock?

[vale shale]

And I thought that was universal

[noble mango]

sometimes that same legendary just doesn't align with your run sometime

[woven hare]

ok man

[hasty trail]

yeah

[woven hare]

[ebon condor]

im a perky > chicot truther personally but yea

[zinc sigil]

Its always purple seal no

[noble mango]

rebate blueprint go brr

[hasty trail]

sometimes perkeo is the best joker you could ask for sometimes its not even better than constellation or something

[zinc sigil]

Steel foil king here

[noble mango]

blue seal gold . . .

[zinc sigil]

Or blue seal for hc levels

[ebon condor]

rebate bp is also crazy

[zinc sigil]

Yea just noticed

[vale shale]

I just think that as an ante 8 person and not endless perkeo is lacking

[ebon condor]

these 2 things are both op

[steady hollow]

first soul ever

[woven hare]

yall gime a sec

[noble mango]

chigoat

[ebon condor]

naw perkeo is econ and econ wins games

thems the facts

[steady hollow]

yes by what he does he is a 10/10 joker

[noble mango]

perkeo sometimes "nah id not copy the hermie"

[vale shale]

Yeah but perkeo can also be like "I'll copy your lovers tarot 🤪 :"

[ebon condor]

why are you holding a lovers

thats your fault bestie

[vale shale]

Emperor

[noble mango]

eh but hangman works

[ebon condor]

just sell it

[noble mango]

sel it you bucko

[vale shale]

But then perkeo just does nothing

Might aswell just copy lovers and sell the negative

[noble mango]

ok fair

[vale shale]

Which also contradicts

Because that is also just econ

[noble mango]

but it's just better to get negative emperor no?

[ebon condor]

oh i thought we were assuming he had hermit already

[noble mango]

so you can keep rolling for hermie

[ebon condor]

yeah perkeo is at worst just golden joker which is still good

[vale shale]

Nevertheless I still think perkeo is 2md worst legendary for ante 8

In my perspective.

[noble mango]

or even better

temperance with funny sell value shenanigan

perkeo just
didn't do much for me for ante 8 stuff ye

[ebon condor]

i dont think chicot provides enough passive value to always be worth the joker slot but maybe thas just me

[noble mango]

trib on the other hand

x2^5 mult haha

[ebon condor]

theyre both good fs

[zinc sigil]

Can I take burnt for something

[noble mango]

eternal burnt . . .

[vale shale]

Chicot just makes you not worry about anything other than scoring

[zinc sigil]

Think my scoring plummets

[vale shale]

If your scoring is ass that's on you

[noble mango]

true

[zinc sigil]

And its kinda late alr

[noble mango]

at the cost of you missing on scoring

[ebon condor]

thats not really how that works

[noble mango]

well you still need econ

[vale shale]

Just pick the right jokers that you think would suit the build

[ancient gyro]

black deck mfs when given advice

[vale shale]

Which also contradicts

Because it's all just rng

[ebon condor]

thats not really how that works

[noble mango]

conclusion

legendary jokers are good but not bullshit fucking insane broken op autowin ez solos game

[vale shale]

Yorick is bullshit fucking insane broken op autowin ez solos game

[noble mango]

🔵

[ebon condor]

no

[noble mango]

or if you are also playing big hand

[zinc sigil]

Problem solved

This game is funny sometimes

[ebon condor]

thing is if youre taking soul you should have enough scoring at least for now

[vale shale]

Like if you have some good rng. JUst yorick and planet cards and you're set for the whole run

[naive frigate]

Is campfire even good without a specific build

[zinc sigil]

Yes

[vale shale]

Ye

[naive frigate]

Any tips on how to use it properly

[zinc sigil]

Stack money buy shit and sell it

[fringe nebula]

campfire is good with literally any build

[ebon condor]

if you dont have the scoring to get yorick to x2 that IS on you

[zinc sigil]

Final ante

[fathom pagoda]

Campfire only needs good econ to be strong.

[noble mango]

mostly
you need some sort of econ tho

[fringe nebula]

don't supercharge it when you can score enough points

[naive frigate]

Economy?

[fathom pagoda]

Yeah

[zinc sigil]

Money jokers

Or gold seals

Or gold cards

[noble mango]

or just those interest vouchers

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[zinc sigil]

Blue

[fringe nebula]

some people spend wayyy too much money to scale campfire when they don't need that much score

[fringe nebula]

black

[pastel pagoda]

Black

[ancient gyro]

black

[humble gulch]

Erratic

[noble mango]

your pfp

[woven hare]

why can bp copy bottle

[calm furnace]

1 take what does that mean

[ancient gyro]

active effect

[pastel pagoda]

Why not

[fringe nebula]

1 take means 1 attempt

no reset whatsoever

[calm furnace]

yellow or blue easily

its not even close

[humble gulch]

You can sell blueprint and get a double tag

[vale shale]

See how you saved me from all those black decks

[noble mango]

which botl

[ancient gyro]

racism

[noble mango]

ghlost why not

[vale shale]

I pick the first one mentioned.

[humble gulch]

Decksism

[pastel pagoda]

No dude thats racist

[ancient gyro]

you never picked my first call outs

[pastel pagoda]

You didn't allow black ones to vote

[zinc sigil]

Do I just not roll here?

[brave goblet]

8 round speeding addiction??

[pastel pagoda]

Even though it was the majority

[zinc sigil]

Im a nice guy

[ancient gyro]

no correlation

[vale shale]

Correlation

[woven hare]

always neg tag it could be 8 ball

[vale shale]

If you think about it you thought about it.

[zinc sigil]

Not rolling feels wrong but rolling does nothing right

[noble mango]

astronomer mmm

[pastel pagoda]

Dude you aint running away from the allegations

[zinc sigil]

Im not buying any other tarots

[vale shale]

First of all, black deck sucks. Second of all, trace all the times that I've asked about 1 take gold stake runs and look at the amount of black deck runs people gave me.

[noble mango]

is it possible to beat ante 8 without playing the same card played this game

(pillar thing)

[woven hare]

perishable golden 💔

[pastel pagoda]

wow

[ancient gyro]

just say you're deck racist it's ok

[vale shale]

Black deck sucks don't care about anyone else's opinions

[zinc sigil]

If u get new stone cards all the time sure

[pastel pagoda]

The only deck thats black

And you say it sucks

[vale shale]

Wow now that's actually racist

[humble gulch]

Not really

Maybe

[noble mango]

certificate of goobing + stoney

[zinc sigil]

Stone joker maybe

[woven hare]

fym not really

[humble gulch]

On white stake

[zinc sigil]

Yea

[humble gulch]

And skipping

[woven hare]

just cert

[zinc sigil]

And burnt

[vale shale]

Justice for erratic

[zinc sigil]

Cert stone burnt

[vale shale]

You are a mean racist

[humble gulch]

Trash deck

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah

[zinc sigil]

Realest shit u said twin

[pastel pagoda]

Erratic is trash

[vale shale]

Atleast you didn't say that it's not black unlike SOME people

No manners.

[pastel pagoda]

Absolute garbage

[zinc sigil]

??? Wtf r u on about

[humble gulch]

I like black deck

[vale shale]

What's wrong

[noble mango]

erratic is a trash ass that i would bash and smash into ash with a mash like a vash for cash

[vale shale]

Why are we just jumping against me

[woven hare]

erratic deck let me play this

[pastel pagoda]

Well said my guy

[vale shale]

Like bro 7v1

[pastel pagoda]

Unlike SOMEONE says

[woven hare]

erratic is goatez

fuck you

[vale shale]

This guy gets it

[pastel pagoda]

unlike SOMEONE who hates the color black for no reason

[vale shale]

My favorite color is black

[humble gulch]

Erratic it's just another pairs deck

[vale shale]

Black deck sucks

[woven hare]

bit's old m8

[noble mango]

so you got

Uno (banana) , duo, trio, family

[fringe nebula]

black deck sucks

[noble mango]

and i forgot what that one is

[woven hare]

black deck's stencil value

[zinc sigil]

This the most useless boss blind no

[vale shale]

1 joker

[fathom pagoda]

Seeing Double

[vale shale]

Alright I'm doing the blue 1 take

[zinc sigil]

Good luck

[woven hare]

hey it let me unlock invis

[noble mango]

right that one that makes you play a club then whatver other suit

[woven hare]

hey what can i even do with a perishable cert

[pastel pagoda]

A lot actually

[fathom pagoda]

Get 5 cards with seals

[pastel pagoda]

Find seals

And find seals also

[woven hare]

waos

[zinc sigil]

5 seals sounds like a pretty good desl

U dont wanna hold cert for that long anyway no?

Opinions? I like both

U guys would take hallu

Right?

[fathom pagoda]

Yeah

[zinc sigil]

But 2x x 1.5x

Is like 3x

LMAO

[unborn cliff]

awesomeeee

[fathom pagoda]

Duo is nice but not that strong that you need it eternal. There will usually be other xmult sources

[zinc sigil]

Yea its just 3x vs 1.5x

Its not that strong I just realized

Lmao

[unborn cliff]

turtle bean carry

[zinc sigil]

Grimbo and runner dont work no

[zinc sigil]

Is this won?

[unborn cliff]

nope i died

[zinc sigil]

Like naneinfing

[unborn cliff]

scored e36

[zinc sigil]

Oh lol

[unborn cliff]

yeah i naneinfed last serpent

[zinc sigil]

I see

Sooo

Grimbo runner works or no

For straights u want to discard normally no

[unborn cliff]

sacrificing 1-2 mult is fine for 15 chips

usually you want runner after grimbo is decently big so you arent stuck at like 4 mult for 2 antes

[zinc sigil]

Could take a runner rn

But I dont like it tbh

[pastel pagoda]

Or you could sacrifice your econ by using hands instead of discards

[fathom pagoda]

You can play hands as a form of discarding to try to build a straight.

[zinc sigil]

Idk its probably the right play

[unborn cliff]

this is also an option

[zinc sigil]

Ohh

Yea let me try

[brittle umbra]

Literally two of the best jokers early game imo

[pastel pagoda]

Say it with him folks!

[zinc sigil]

If I buy this im at 5 dollars but I have free mult, but really I wanna stack my scaling jokers so do I really want it?

[pastel pagoda]

I would buy it

[unborn cliff]

i would take michel

also move hallucination

[zinc sigil]

Scores too much

[unborn cliff]

oh yeah i forgot about scaling

[humble gulch]

Don't

[zinc sigil]

So my thinking was right

Whatever its like a stray cat

Its here now so its staying

[humble gulch]

You don't even need more mult, bro

[zinc sigil]

Yea

But temperance value I thought

[humble gulch]

Not worth

It's just 4 extra dollars

[zinc sigil]

Kk

Trance over immolate?

[humble gulch]

Yes

[vale shale]

I am so sad.

Planets weren't cooperating

I had a lvl 3 pair

[ebon condor]

just get more scoring

[calm furnace]

i hate baron

i hate stm

[fathom pagoda]

For a straight build I'd personally be more tempted towards Immolate. Deck thinning matters a lot, you get $20, only 1 bad hit out of 8 possible cards is still nice, and it's hard to get blue seal value with Straights.

[calm furnace]

uninstalling this shit

[ebon condor]

i assume its just a pair build w runner?

[zinc sigil]

Yea

It is

Its actually a whatever the fuck I get build and runner

Lmao

Discard is worth right

For a tarot

-1 nult

Yea dumb question

[vale shale]

Yes

Kinda looks like your scoring quite well already

You have chips flatmult and xmult

Gg

[ancient ocean]

whats the purpose on going back to main menu? I just saw this on a youtuber he keeps going back to main menu when something bad happened on the run can someone explain im newbiew

[echo sphinx]

save scumming

[echo sphinx]

probably

if you really want u can try to get 2 purples on hand ig

[hollow birch]

can someone remind my smooth brain, if I sell a perishable invis, the copied joker isn't perishable by default correct?

[cloud sinew]

some actions don't save the game, so you can go to the main menu to undo them

[cloud sinew]

correct

[hollow birch]

thank youuu

[naive frigate]

How the fuck

[ancient ocean]

so it is not a mod?

what are those actions?

[zinc sigil]

Ye I kinda won alr

[olive raptor]

there's something wrong with this meme...

[zinc sigil]

Just wanna play clean now

Look at this rainbow tho

So cool

[hollow birch]

if it copies a joker that is perishable, does it remove perishable from that one at least?

[zinc sigil]

No

[austere shore]

I just got balatroed on a scale never before seen. On a gold stake shoot the moon run, I bottom decked all 10 of my queens, all of which were blue seal steel, with the discard voucher. 21 cards left in hand ante 7 boss blind and half of them are steel queens

[dusty tusk]

Should I use any chip jokers or just multi ones on purple stake? I’m struggling so bad w this

[cloud sinew]

• playing a hand doesnt save the game until after the scoring animation is done
• selling a card doesn't save the game
• using a card doesnt save the game
• buying a voucher doesnt save the game
  there are likely more that i'm forgetting

[shell dagger]

you’ll do better if you can use most of the things that are given to you

[dusty tusk]

?? What does that even mean

[shell dagger]

you don’t get to choose if you get chips or mult jokers

[vale shale]

Use the jokers given to you

[shell dagger]

if you can use them all well, you’ll win more runs

[austere shore]

Early on the "ideal" setup is one +mult joker, one value generator (giving money, tarot cards, etc), and a chips joker

[dusty tusk]

Well idk how to do that

[cloud sinew]

every resource is important, some more than others, and there isnt a single thing in the game that you should truly never do or truly always do*

[austere shore]

And eventually you want to get an x mult joker for late game scaling

[austere shore]

Ya play the game and use the jokers that give you score

[vale shale]

It's just "if you have no scoring and the joker given to you is scoring get that joker till you find better jokers so then you could sell that joker once you get scoring from others"

[dusty tusk]

When I do that I loose

[austere shore]

Don't overlook chips jokers, especially early game.

[austere shore]

Skill issue then idk

[dusty tusk]

I hate this discord sm

[austere shore]

I mean you're coming in here being like "why am I losing how do I do this very general thing" and then when we give you advice you respond with "yea but then I lose"

[vale shale]

*asks for advice
*gives advice
*advice taken still loses
*"i hate this discord"

Gg bro

[austere shore]

We can't give you specific advice because none of us watch how you play and have seen your games

[shell dagger]

tbh saying skill issue is not productive either

[dusty tusk]

I hate it cus everyone just says like “skill issue” when I ask for help

[cloud sinew]

"skill issue" is not good advice in this context

[dusty tusk]

Literally EVERY time

[austere shore]

If you ask a specific question about why a play is/is not the correct play we can help

[vale shale]

Other advices help atleast

[austere shore]

But if you're just asking "why do I lose" there's like a billion reasons it could be

[shell dagger]

it’s hard for us to know exactly what causes you to lose without examples

[vale shale]

But yeah downgrading the player is not viable either

[shell dagger]

the next time it happens drop the seed

[dusty tusk]

I just don’t really get enough score

[austere shore]

I tried to give other advice first and they didn't take that so 🤷🏼‍♂️

[dusty tusk]

Alr I’ll do that I’m doing okay in a run rn

[austere shore]

Well I mean that's always why you lose, isn't it? That doesn't narrow it down

Give us an example of what your joker setup was and when you lost

Then we can explain why

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt justify what you said though, you shouldve just not said anything and moved on if you felt like your advice wasnt being taken

[dusty tusk]

Would money be early better?

[austere shore]

100%

[vale shale]

Ye

[dusty tusk]

Wait lemme send jokers I can pick

[austere shore]

Econ is extremely important early game

[dusty tusk]

To the moon or jolly joker

[vale shale]

Jolly

[cloud sinew]

jolly joker

[vale shale]

To the moon sucks early

Unless you find like investment tag

[shell dagger]

context dependent

[dusty tusk]

I got sly and joker which is nice

[dusty tusk]

I’m on yellow deck

[austere shore]

Sky is the chips for pair one right?

[dusty tusk]

Is hieroglyph worth taking? I’ve been told mixed things

[dusty tusk]

Yah that’s the chips and jolly is mult

[vale shale]

Not for your case no

Hieroglyph is only taken if you have a scaling joker or the ante you're in is losable

[dusty tusk]

Okay I’ll skip it then

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vale shale]

I hate stone

[dusty tusk]

I got seed money which I like

Cus I’m alr at 36 money

[pallid galleon]

pretty

[naive frigate]

Holy shit this is trash 😭

[austere shore]

If the question is "is X joker/voucher/tarot worth taking" the answer is pretty much always going to be "it depends". Especially early on, hieroglyph doesn't do much to help you, and often times can actively hurt you as you're losing money from the - hand

[patent sail]

no????

[austere shore]

Nice

[patent sail]

ts so free

its so good

[naive frigate]

I have no synergy with ts in my deck

[dusty tusk]

Would like a screen shot be better when asking?

[austere shore]

Yeah

[dusty tusk]

So yall see context

[patent sail]

well poly

polys good either way

[dusty tusk]

Okay I’ll do that, my internet is ass rn

[patent sail]

and red card doesnt really need synergy - it grows for something youre gonna be doing anyway

[vale shale]

What made you skip 2 rounds

Was that just for fun

[patent sail]

also this

[naive frigate]

I was hoping for good jokers duhh

[dusty tusk]

I sold the run but it was a skill issue I accidentally took the wrong joker

[austere shore]

I'd recommend watching Balatro University's gold stake lessons. He does a lot of play alongs and is very slow and methodical when he explains why he does a certain thing. It's helped me out a lot with winning more consistently on high stakes

[patent sail]

whats your setup

these are pretty good

[naive frigate]

Holy shit

[patent sail]

DUDE

[cosmic sun]

skippers highrolling without realizing it might be the most braindead activities

[naive frigate]

What

[patent sail]

cro said red card isnt good

[cosmic sun]

oh ofc it's a photochad player

😂

[hollow birch]

I feel attacked

[patent sail]

this setup would literally work with red card

ESP A POLY ONE

[naive frigate]

I have 20 hours in this game jeez

[cosmic sun]

I will always throw strays intentionally 🦅

[naive frigate]

Can you explain

[austere shore]

Or sell that far right joker (forgor the name) and get egg for value generation at the very least

If ur gonna play photochad ur not playing straights

[vale shale]

I guess since it was free I would've took but if it wasn't free I wouldn't have took because ante 7

[patent sail]

red cards gives unconditional +mult that accumulates for something yoyre gonna be doing anyway - opening packs. you can have all xmult in the world, but if theres no base mult to multiply setup is getting nothing done

[brisk bluff]

Steel couldn’t save me 💔

[vale shale]

^ in simple term
Flat mult loves xmult

[patent sail]

but yeah thats valid

[naive frigate]

My whole setup is pure Xmult fuck do ido

[austere shore]

My issue with red card is that I always feel pressured to skip and then lose out on what would've potentially been more value lmao

[austere shore]

Get base mult

So your x mult does something

[naive frigate]

Im broke AF

[austere shore]

Then save your money if you're scoring enough

Or like

Buy the egg

:3

[shell dagger]

because you’re skipping

[naive frigate]

Too late i already skipped everything

[pastel pagoda]

Quit skipping so much dude

[austere shore]

The one kid showing up to the final after not going to a single class:

[pastel pagoda]

Skipping is very rarely good

[vale shale]

Guys

[patent sail]

heres a simple guide to what setup should have (not a set requiremenet but generally good to have)

ANY source of chips (Chip joker, Foil, Planet levels - anything that gives chips)
ANY source of flat mult (Planet levels or Jokers)
Xmult jokers to multiply it all

[austere shore]

In his defense he has throwback

[vale shale]

He has throwback

[patent sail]

this

[naive frigate]

Ts me genuinely

Irl and balatro

[patent sail]

F tier joker icl

[pastel pagoda]

Missing out on the shop and the money you get from beating the blind is not worth it for a mega buffon pack

[austere shore]

Anaglyph deck synergy 😍

[patent sail]

aka 1 single skip?

wow X1.25

[frank grove]

isnt getting another shop for holographic much better than skipping for throwback anyway

[cloud sinew]

i just realised how burnt joker can help you counter certain boss blinds

[austere shore]

But is it worth mega buffoon pack AND 0.25x mult... yea still probably no but

[vale shale]

Hey if he skipped to ante 7 and still did not die he either is lucky or is lucky

[cloud sinew]

depends what hologram and throwback are at

[naive frigate]

Oh yeah that

3x multiplier is sweet tho

[patent sail]

man we are absolutely dunking on this guy but like

hes new

i think we should explain rather than question and judge

[vale shale]

I am evil and I like to judge

[cloud sinew]

questioning things is fine

[naive frigate]

Do i swap out something for mult

[patent sail]

i mean as long as we explain why we do

[cloud sinew]

as it lets you break down their reasons for doing something rather than just saying it's wrong to do something

[vale shale]

Nope you're good

[lost vault]

moew

[patent sail]

dont crop screenshots

[austere shore]

Nah. By base mult I meant more like planet cards/empress because of photochad

[vale shale]

Wait before allat what's the boss blind

[lost vault]

assuming youve been playing well it should be better than throwback trust

[vale shale]

Inb4 it's the plant

[patent sail]

okay that kind of questioning is fine yeah

i meant stuff like "duuuude why did you do that thats so bad"

[naive frigate]

I have 16 mult straight and 8 full house/flush

[austere shore]

After your photochad is done +10 mult from swashbuckler is going to be a lot less than the x mult you get from blackboard/hologram/throwback

[patent sail]

what hand youre playing?

[naive frigate]

Uhh wdym do i send a deck

[patent sail]

honestly if you got here with that youre probabky fine

[austere shore]

Run info screen

[patent sail]

just hand stats/levels menu

[vale shale]

Throw it back

[austere shore]

Don't have to tell me twice

[austere shore]

What's your deck fixing like? Are you able to consistently play straights without red cards left in hand?

[vale shale]

This ss is sofunny to me

[patent sail]

honestly if you get them levels up you dont need flat mult jokers, as long as theres SOME flat mult

same for chips

[vale shale]

The fact you've played strush WITHOUT playing a single pair is the funniest thing I've ever seen today

[naive frigate]

Ye i have quite a lot of spades

24 exactly

[austere shore]

Nice. You should be good then

How much are you scoring

[patent sail]

its okay theyre yet to learn the ways of pairslop

[austere shore]

Pairslop my beloved

[naive frigate]

Im not sure i didn't count

[vale shale]

Ya'll pairslop? I 3OAKslop

[patent sail]

everyone discovers pairslop at some point if they play long enough

up to them to embrace it or reject the meta

[austere shore]

WHAT is he doing

[vale shale]

You probably score atleast 200k with that setup

[naive frigate]

554k

[patent sail]

yeah youre fine

[vale shale]

Close

[austere shore]

Yeah don't change anything you're fine lmao

[naive frigate]

With a straight with jack

[austere shore]

You only need like what, 200k on white stake?

[patent sail]

straights my brloved

[patent sail]

100k lmao

[austere shore]

Even if you don't get blackboard value you're chillin

[austere shore]

Oh damn I'm gold stake coded

I thought ante 8 small was 100k and boss was 200

[patent sail]

you can get away with anything on white stake

[naive frigate]

Its TEMPTING

[austere shore]

Honestly at this point why not

[vale shale]

It's so unhealthy

Man I love perkeo so much

[austere shore]

You won't get it because it's ante 8

[patent sail]

you can just skip for the throwback value who cares

[austere shore]

But also you aren't going to get any better value anyway from shops

[patent sail]

youre winning anyway

[frail valley]

i js lost my best run cuz of i wanted to install a mod🥀

[austere shore]

So 1.5x mult it is

[naive frigate]

I'll only skip the small one cuz there's no point in skipping the big one

[austere shore]

Oh I always just assumed perkeo was suspiciously side eyeing the joker next to it I didn't realize it was a lazy eye

[patent sail]

im crine they made perkeo a twink

[austere shore]

What's the point in not skipping it

[patent sail]

says me who made bloodstone a catwoman

[vale shale]

He was always one

[naive frigate]

So i get a free rare joker

[austere shore]

Ur not gonna take the rare joker you get anyways, or at least you shouldn't unless it's like a blueprint

[naive frigate]

Is there even epic jokers

[austere shore]

No

[patent sail]

only legendary

[vale shale]

Watch this one

[cloud sinew]

there are legendaries but you can only get them from The Soul

[pale wolf]

lmfao i am actually dead

[vale shale]

I'll attend funeral

[patent sail]

Twinkeo

[hallow bolt]

any ideas what to do here? or just play until ante 39

[austere shore]

My first legendary ever was perkeo and I got it on my 5th run ever my friends watching me were so mad lol

[vale shale]

Literally nothing else

[austere shore]

Roll for burger ig

But idk if that's even necessary

[patent sail]

my first legend was canio who took me like a month to find and who i promptly died with

[vale shale]

I guess get showman or invis joker and just get another bp.or bs

[hallow bolt]

but parking makes money

what the money is for is another question

[vale shale]

That's why we wait.

[frank grove]

parking is also a common you'll find another one eventually

[austere shore]

Yea idk 19k might not be enough

[naive frigate]

Yo i won

[vale shale]

Look at this

It's trib and pe

[rustic haven]

this is cute lowkey

[naive frigate]

Pair is genuinely useless

[patent sail]

does he know

[austere shore]

Best hand in the game btw

[naive frigate]

Yo i think this is fire

[austere shore]

Ghost deck

[naive frigate]

Chill elt me joke around

[rustic haven]

ghost deck my goat

[patent sail]

youre yet to learn the ways of pairslop

[vale shale]

Best hand is obviously hand size

Without hand size you'd lose gg

[austere shore]

Bean>

[rustic haven]

or join the dark side

[naive frigate]

Isn't there a voucher that does literally the exact same thing

[patent sail]

best hand is obviously the one i type with

[patent sail]

that one makes them 2 extra dollars less

so 4 total

[austere shore]

Ok but highcardslop is way harder to build into than pairslop

[vale shale]

It's just addition 2 less

[rustic haven]

but more fun

[patent sail]

thats tier 2 of it

[regal wasp]

Any two pair lovers in the chat

[vale shale]

But that's finger

[naive frigate]

So i can make so rerolls cost 4 less

[austere shore]

Yeah, this is the second version of it, it shows up after you buy the first one, and makes your first roll $1

[patent sail]

Shut up

[vale shale]

Fuck two pair 👿

[rustic haven]

trousers

[regal wasp]

Waddido

[austere shore]

Pants are so fun

[patent sail]

that is if you find tier 2 of the voucher

[vale shale]

Be bad at scaling

And that's about it

[regal wasp]

Polycrome pants

Is funny

[heavy geyser]

VV beats me again.

[patent sail]

so your pants are gay.

[austere shore]

Is pants not one of the best scaling jokers in the game or am I tripping

[naive frigate]

Should i go for ante 13 or i will literally perish

[vale shale]

If you don't have trousers but you play two pair what is wrong with you

[regal wasp]

I wear skirts not pants

[patent sail]

why not try it

[austere shore]

Hermit

[rustic haven]

me too twin

[patent sail]

also econ is lacking

[regal wasp]

(I'm a boy)

[rustic haven]

$15 ante 9

wow

[austere shore]

[patent sail]

only makes it better

[cloud sinew]

straights at 18, high card at 15. i go obelisk
goodbye burnt joker for now

[vale shale]

Femboy

[rustic haven]

me too twin

[frail valley]

now i have a question, is perkeo on this art a femboy, a man or a woman?

[patent sail]

twink

[vale shale]

Can't believe Straights are legal now

[austere shore]

I still need obelisk gold seal

[patent sail]

free

carries the run

[vale shale]

You can't put a gold seal on a joker

[austere shore]

I've been too scared to pick it up early and then I don't find it late

[patent sail]

then just pick it up early

[austere shore]

Not with that attitude

[vale shale]

My attitude is evil so you can't do anything about it

[patent sail]

have it sitting there until its time comes

[hasty trail]

agonizingly close to naneinf but still crazy that this was unseeded

[vale shale]

😈

[cloud sinew]

😰

[austere shore]

How do you prepare for obelisk early on? Do you want to spam 5 card hands early then pivot into pair or vice versa?

[vale shale]

Spam Pair to atleast 8

[patent sail]

i spam flushes to 10-15 and pivot to random garbage that isnt flush

[cloud sinew]

normally spam pair

[vale shale]

Then carry on with other hands

Since pair is the easiest to spam with

[frank grove]

try not to play too many hcs cause some bosses / jokers can force you to play hc

[vale shale]

(High card but you can accidentally play hc so not viable)

[cloud sinew]

hc is the easiest hand to be forced to play

so it's something you want to avoid as your highest

[austere shore]

At what point do you switch hands? Like ante 5 because that's halfway?

[vale shale]

Depends on how much yo've played the hand

[cloud sinew]

depends on the ante and how many youve stacked up

[vale shale]

It's not on the ante

[austere shore]

Fair

[vale shale]

We have different

I mainly just spam pair to 10 then move on spamming other hands

Regardless of ante

Because I follow the earlier obelisk scales = autowin

It's 2 am I'm going to sleep gn

[austere shore]

Gn

[pale wolf]

10 is a little low

depends on your base mult though

anyways it's time to win a run

missed optimal 2pair draws r2, resetting for good luck

[pale wolf]

i predict jokerdisplay in 1.1

[robust lance]

I predict not

We will get the option to eat the bananas though

[cloud sinew]

the bot got shot immediately

[rustic haven]

this why i always rare skip

[cloud sinew]

i basically never rare skip

[rustic haven]

im going for naneinf i gotta

[digital ocean]

What would you do? Sell the 2x cat that I recently got or sell one of the bloodstones.
I have a ton of lucky cards, a few steel kings and one of them with a red seal. I can start farming them since blueprint will give me 2 each time.
Hope for baron but Im already ante 11
