you lowkey dont even need to clarify i think the server has been desensitized to the term
does anyone know of any server/community I could talk to experienced players abt naneinf routing?
...here
but like where
there isn't exactly a role I can ping for experienced naneinfers
if it comes up during conversation, this channel
idk if roffle has a server isnt that his whole thing
pushing for naneinfs
eh kind of
roffle doesn't try that much to be optimal tho, mainly entertaining
maybe I'll donate to join doc's server
what are you wondering about the routing
+roffles fanbase doesnt know how to play the game
true
multiple questions I'm tryna get exact
shoot me
for example when to take heiroglyph or not, when to take double tag skips or not
unless you are gambling on doing bean bug twice in a row by hoping u get hieroglyph then it doesnt matter
you always take hieroglyph to take it out of the pool, double tags if you actually score more than enough points to afford losing shops/blind money
hieroglyph is significantly less money long term if you take it, and only a marginal chance of blocking a voucher
(i had one naneinf attempt)
I go sock, idol, ticket until abt ante 18 for unreal money generation ($1000+ a round)
taking heiroglyph does give u time to scale and take it out of the pool, but hurts your econ significantly
burglar is for that, the one extra ante you have time to scale is meaningful at any point
burglar is maybe doable for a small period of time imo, usually the joker slot is full tho
burglar is needed for naneinf
plus discards are needed for purple seals usually
only after ante 24
just beat gold stake checkered deck and OBELISK showed up
you take it as soon as it appears and not gamble to get it after
you'd still rather have burglar during any point of the run i feel
unless youre ectoing
with all due respect, that is wrong
you need all 7 joker slots to beat ante 24, can't have a burglar in there
ive done naneinfs where ive had burglar from pretty much the start, most of the time its been used to get bean bug on ante 8
in my experience bean bug is a 50/50 on ante 16, def not reliable ante 8
I didn't factor in bean bug, but I only go for it when I have a good setup for it
you are right, i forgot, been doing bean bug lately
but then again, id take burglar for the journey because its such good money
while hieroglyph was in the question cant you go back in a8 and have 2 boss blinds to fight instead
burglar is very good in many cases
but I'd rather have another blueprint over a burglar pre ante 24
as soon as you get both boss rerolls you can make so much money on serpents
so you get leaf and i guess like crimson heart out of the way
and in rounds in general
yep, or ante 16 or 24
yeah, you can gamble on a double bean bug like that but that is so low odds
yeah. haven't looked into that too much, serpent + burglar + reserved parking is crazy
I just go for gold ticket for my econ tho
quite reliable in my experience, and doesn't require a tier 2 voucher
I originally thought that the scaling/early ante importance of skipping a blind for a double tag is not worth it, but I now think it's worth to take every double tag skip seen pre ante 14 likely (dependent on vouchers)
fs
haven't played around with that enough
usually it's I use seance, get ecto, then get idol asap after that
I need to play around with delaying idol, using burglar, etc
also realized my runs have been hindered due to too much polychrome. not worth to make the full deck polychrome too early as it makes u win too early before money farming at some stages
i also need to play around with no antimatter routing, as my runs get killed when I can't find antimatter by ante 18
I'd recommend watching some youtubers play balatro maybe if you wanna learn some
That never works.
worked for me
Well, that's you. I'm telling you it's not gonna work for me specifically. Nothing ever seems to work out.
true, everyone is different
just do whatever you have fun with tbh
if balatro isn't fun to you then that's ok. if it is fun and you want to get better, I'd give balatro university a chance. They have some basic lesson videos that are helpful
Given how the guy who runs that channel gave me garbage about something I said, I have no desire learning from him
^
I don't think they meant it in an offensive way, but Imma stay out of that
it's even funnier the second time
Funnier how?
lol the doc is lurking
Maybe it's just the principle of having such a good social media following making you a snob or something.
The only two times he has interacted with me by the way.
Just meant to give me more of a headache on top of everything else.
as I said, I'm staying out of it
Idk, whenever people mention: "Oh, why don't you just watch Balatro University," I feel the need to remind them that the person running the channel has given me nothing but an issue.
whats ur guys opinion on photochad
Well it's more than watch, it's applying the lessons from the videos.
I'd rather not apply the advice of a jerk, thanks.
I mean I don't love Roffle as a person based on what I've seen, and he hates his supporters, but I still watch his naneinf vids whenever they drop
And also it probably may not seem like it to you but some people just wanna help
I get ur point tho from ur experiences/stance
That's Roffle. We're talking about the doctor.
What's the difference
Yeah, @cosmic sun, this is totally helping.
Hypothetical curiosity. If I get banana and showman naturally, then get another banana, does one or both of them need to go extinct in order for cavendish to appear
Very constructive and useful!
fun
How could I be so obviously blind? My deepest apologies, O wise one.
photochad hate is forced
thats what i feel too
one I believe
Okay before you bring that up again, consider he might just be challenging your take.
i think it's a nice addition to my deck when i need extra points
Not to say you can't be mad at that but
How do you want people to help you if you think everyone is doing it out of malice
If him being an insensitive dick is being challenging, then sure.
Again, the only two times he has interacted with me ever during my time here in the server was to give me grief.
He said "L take", it's a discord server
And him saying shit like this ^
Just proves my point that people are just going to be malicious towards me any time I utter a word here.
Even if it's just one person
you have no way of knowing if he meant to cause you mental grief, or was just lightly trolling, or genuinely just disagreed with your take
That's still one person to prove my point.
thats what it feels like ngl
Regardless.
That's what it is.
For me, specifically.
With zero motivation behind it other than to just cause me stress.
🤦♂️
consider this, maybe his motivation was to ragebait
if he was being intentionally rude from ur stance
then reacting would be what he hypothetically wanted
Or, consider this, he was just being a dick because it's just me.
Like, you don't see him giving anyone else any issues.
But no, he's the Doctor
He has 100k subs
He's totally innocent!
why would he, specifically target you, who he doesn't know
only one person with the L take
everyone else trying to talk some sense into him
you're having a victim mentality, similar to the pessimism you earlier talked about
idk man
I hate to be this guy, but anyone can go and look at GearsOfTime's message history here in the server. Just read through a few pages, it's full of "Woe is me" type of messages.
omg wtf doc
i just got here, what's even happening
I was neutral/staying out of it, and got pushed to fully ur side lol
hi doc
genuinely nothing
siema atesz
siema iris
no clue ngl
You say you hate to be this guy, yet you do it anyways to try and cause more of an issue for me just to make everyone else have a problem with me.
Kinda doubt you "hate" being that guy.
one person thinks the whole world is out to get them, inlcuding the doc is what's happening
i'm literally entering here and what i see? doc's "L take"
surprised pikachu
I really do, I feel bad about pointing it out, but I don't think I'm wrong
If you felt bad about pointing it out, you wouldn't have said it to begin with
drspectred is in your walls
So obviously, that's a damn lie
shufflin' all your jimbos
It's pretty frustrating to deal with considering people want to help.
he's the one ruining my wheel hits
who else could it be
drspectred should i go for anaglyph deck gold stake now
It's not, I'm being genuine. I really am sorry, and I hope that you can move past this mentality one day.
roffle
no roffle only ruins my naneinf vouchers
Btw @quasi seal Love your vids, you're a legend
roffle got WoF hit 3 times in a row once
I think the combo gets kind of stale fast,
but the Jokers are individually pretty fun and balanced
If you were sorry, you wouldn't have even done it in the first place. True or false? Or is it you feel the incessant need to try and make things worse for me on top of everyone else giving me a problem, and instead of admitting that, you wanna play innocent?
good way to put it. I do love it for my naneinf runs to pivot into sock idol tho
1.75x or at least make it uncommon idk
brother
is there drama, in my balatro server?
photo is good on white stake. not that great on gold stake
why
yes, drspectered is ruining my wheel hits
i see no problem with it
Yeah, what did Photo do to anybody?
I missed 10 in a row yesterday
he's just a little guy
why are you using wheels in the first place
photo lowkey carried my most scuffed gold stake run ever 🙏
I LOVE PHOTOCHAD
to get editions on my jokers so I can guarantee ectoplasm lands on a joker I want
Chad-Ball the real GOAT
the game ate my photos
what i learned from doc's deep runs is that i edition jokers i want short-them so i can ecto the ones i want long term
inb4 wheels hit the joker you want ecto on (true story)
haven't gotten any photos i think
Holy shit, this some hot garbage! But I can't stop using it
wait no roffle took it
greedy joker carried
oh yeah AFTER i win ante 8 sure man
What's that last joker?
idk i dont play endless anyway so ecto almost never happens
ecto is aight imo
wait til u hit golds take and flushes become trash 🙁
Steel joker, +1.2x mult per steel card
if you can get hand size
Photochad is great, and I've gotten flack for this, but I really don't think it's unbalanced. It's probably not going to win you a run without any levels in your main hand, unless you're playing like flush five, but even then probably not.
i rarely find 7 hand size to be worth an extra joker
yeah but I'm boring and only play naneinf
rip
if i have both hand size vouchers? maybe
alright professional balatrerers and balatros, i have red, magic, anaglyph and painted deck to gold stake - which one we going with
i wish i can play naneinf
Magic
Magic is fire
watch some of doc and roffles naneinfs and you'll learn
Is there a point to play naneinf?
doc naneinfs are my bedtime stories
painted
-# doc teach us how to gold stake
achievement
Idk why I'm saying that I haven't played on it since I gold staked it lmao
fire is actually chemistry but close enough
for fun, or maybe bragging rights
funny
They should make a Steam achievement for naneinf (if they haven't already)
i find if extremely boring but most people do it
this tbh
i think they haven't done it
Once you get to Ante 39, the game's over anyways.
ive heard someone else say that thunk said he'll never do a naneinf achievement because its not intended (im a reliable source)
well i mean the process of getting naneinf as well as naneinf itself is nearly entirely built on bugs and unintended interactions
some people never touch past ante 8
to each their own, I never go past ante 8 when I do gold stake
perkeo observatory wasn't intended/accounted for? thats interesting
also its unfeasable without a guide which is bad
we are scared
There's plenty of guides in Balatro University's channel, no?
thats one of the few methods that is mostly built on intended mechanics
I feel like most people start with it and either stick to it or branch off to GS, or both
without a guide
yeah it's a little unfriendly for a steam achievement
never did endless really
but bean bug is a glitch, double chicot is a glitch, serpent is assumedly gonna be buffed
well, time to suffer and do painted deck
11 jokers left 😭
i went to E13 once for the voucher (whichever one it is you get on E12) and never did it again
naneinf isnt really gonna be consistent without most of the perkeoless methods for it
@quasi seal Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall you saying in a vid that blue seals should be nerfed. Do you still think that, and do you think that they will be in the next update? I think they're great where they're at, I really don't think they're too OP, but I'd like to hear your take. Also I can't remember what the name of your vid I saw was
I bet 50%+ naneinf is possible
Ante 2 had an anhk and I figured may as well duplicate Scary Face. If I waited and re-rolled one more time -_-
well, the serpent kills me sometimes so
just put drspectered in charge of the full update tbh
if the serpent becomes "always draw two cards" i'll cry
At level 5 Pair (only 4 Mercury Cards),
it takes you from 5 Mult to 40 Mult.
At level 6, it's from 6 Mult to 48 Mult.
In general, +8 per Planet.
At level 8, it eclipses 20 Rounds of growing your +Mult Joker,
which is not a crazy high level.
Part of the problem is that Glass cards exist
and that Chad is really strong with those even when you don't have Photo yet.
Also, Blue Seals make it really easy to reach really dumb levels.
You say that, but I counter with these two.
I won't update my game if they change serpent
I know these are Garry's Mod achievements, but these in of themselves are extremely unfriendly.
balatro isnt this kinda game tho
true
One of them being impossible now.
yeah it's more abt the devs wishes I think
i assume the name "garry" is taken
regardless i do not think that thunk will make naneinf an achievement regardless of our opinions on the matter
ROCKET MONEY
goddamit
Obviously.
i forgot to ask doc
i just hope they buff some of the useless jokers like 8 ball or flower pot
if he does have a discord server
i mean if naneinf becomes an achievement then i won't have all achievements ever again cuz i aint doing ts
whatever I can't join anyways
Pretty sure he has.
hop off 8 goat
patreon
he does, any donation to his twitch gets you in I think
i think
I wanna join someday
hop off of my goat
eh youre right
🦅
damn
seance is more useless
hot GARBAGE! if i got cat way earlier i coulda gone farther
then i actually can't join
Do you get banned unless you pay more money to his Twitch after the initial donation?
finally bro
ggs on rough gem
idk how it works man
i sniped TWO 2pairs on 1st hand covered
I think it's just a one time donation gets u lifetime access
getting ts sucked for me to gang
or it's a monthly subscription
30 diamonds suuuucks
rough goat
LMAO imagine that would be HILARIOUS
i should start looking for Xmult soon
Pretend this is a heart
how do you play pair slop
anything that enables pairs
you find a joker that gives you flat mult that scales
you find a way to get chips (preferrably planets with blue seals)
you find xmult
turns out, you just play the game normally

I mean you could try but it's not as easy as people make it sound, well at least initially from how people first try it.
So might aswell start now.
am i doing it right?
Wow, I guess I didn't realize how quickly it could scale, thanks for the info. I'm still not convinced it's super OP though, with the plant being a thing, glass cards chance to break (4/4 for me lmao), but I agree about the blue seals, especially if you have a mime.
Guys what’s the easiest deck for C++
i kinda wanna play bloodstone rn
okay well idk if bootstraps is the play but thats somethin
any you enjoy
yellow or ghost are very good tho
Could pocket a justice
I could’ve got Luchador and credit card gold sticker but I sold them so I could get the not that funny screenshot
Yellow is my favorite
I like those a lot
welp
thank you sharp
Thank you card sharp man
It depends, from a technical standpoint. Yellow is great for extra starting money, red/blue are great with an extra hand/discard, ghost is good for a free polychrome, making a joker you think is useless automatically useful by giving x1.5 mult, plasma is great for early game to get you econ up, most decks are good tbh
Yeah, this is one of those where I say,
trust that the people in charge
have thought about it at least as long as you have.
You don't have to be a professional chef yourself
and don't have to understand why it works
to enjoy a well-balanced meal.
I like ghost and plasma though, personally.
I despise plasma with all my heart
I saved it as my last gold stake I just did it today
Good points. LocalThunk cooked with the whole game already, I'm sure he will again, and I'm sure that regardless of whatever he does with the new updates, people will understand and come to agree with his decisions.
Well now that i got chicot gold sticker that means i can get the other legendary jokers in gold stake now
I love plasma. If you have a stuntman then you pretty much can't lose
Get stuntman, level high card/pair, get econ joker, profit
I think abandoned is underrated
It gets really annoying when you can’t scale chips fast enough in the late game
also, the credits has like a couple dozen people in it,
so you're not just putting all your faith in one guy
Makes straight builds better
Plasma deck didn’t take me too long but I feel like I just got really lucky
Hold up, there are credits???
Wait what the fuck the actual Balatro university is in this server
Plasma is confusing for me
my easiest run YET, thank you the burnt joker
oh my god ive never seen the credits before lmao
Prolly cause people overlook number cards
Holy shit what
other than 2s
I thought that guy was just larping as Balatro university I didn’t know it was actually him
Tbf most number jokers are terrible
real
plasma was one of first gold stickers for me
I hate plasma so much
i did double square, hack and wee
Plasma deck killed my grandma
@quasi seal I knew you were a major part of the alpha stage testing for this game, but I've never heard of any of these other people lmao
Modern tragedy
trust
Maybe the way Thunk frames things it makes you feel like he's doing it alone 💀
i think doc's vids teached me the way of gold cards
nah, he blogged about it
Ah
Do u know how good I should be before I try Balatro multiplayer
gottem
I've always just heard a few of his statements on the server
I mean, didn't he do all of the coding by himself (Gameplay wise)? I know the ports were playstack, music was LouisF, and of course he had testers, but wasn't it mostly him?
Or am I wrong? (I'm waiting to be roasted by the doc)
Did bro prank me
I think so

I describe it as, putting the "finishing touches"
on an otherwise mostly finished product.
But also, Banner used to be an Uncommon
which gave +20 per.
Wow that was terrible
the changelogs are public (not in the game, though, just well-documented)
Should the first magnet voucher be brought back
Where can I see them

What’s that
Damn, glad Banner got reworked, that sounds awful lmao
40 chips on blue stake if you don’t use any of your discards
iirc it draws your most played card at the start
I'd destroy my pc
Yes we do the 6 mult polychrome dagger gambit
well, all +Chips effects got buffed.
Banner being +20
is just representative of a previous (shittier) paradigm
Do you think they could use another buff, joker wise? I feel like most chips jokers aren't super powerful. Of course we have planet cards which scale chips semi-tremendously, but other than stuntman, imo chips jokers aren't all that great, especially late game
I don't really take them after like ante 2/3
Whoever did the scaling on the current version of chip jokers did an amazing job at making them scale just fast enough to beat ante 8 on plasma gold stake with only chips and not much further
it feels so good
I just joined the Balatro multiplayer server my journey to the top begins
Sometimes you just need a chip source, 2/3 doesn't seem too late tbh
Chip joker rather
I still think squared is too slow for 4 chips
its not
based on what?
Not in the pair meta
In all my time on Balatro this is the only time I've seen doc in chat, hi doc
most people feel this way
they're wrong,
but they are the majority
Also consider you could be playing Obelisk without too many planet levels, that chip support is great.
It's slow but that's because you can play a four-card hand quite consistently, especially if you can support square joker in other ways
I would definitely not underestimate chip jokers
a little bit late constellation
I mean i guess
I don't underestimate them, I think. They definitely have their use, and have saved my run more than a few times, but I feel like, compared to most other jokers, there's almost no use for them late game
no, really
based on what?
Like endless? Is that what you mean by late game?
if anything chips jokers are great in endless if you already have a high xmult
what do you mean when you say late game, what stake?
or just vibes?
If just A8 then your chip source just has to come from somewhere, either a joker or planets.
because most of the time my chip jokers are equivalent to being around 2-3X on my score
No I mean ante 8
Maybe I really do underestimate them, though
Vibes
So yeah chip jokers are just another way to meet the scoring conditions
It feels slow but that's because it's like supernova in that it's incentivising you to squeeze as many hands into a round as you can manage
I just frame it like that
If you're doing that then it's fast enough
The basic scoring combo
once again, you're in the majority,
but try to keep an open mind
I prescribe a week of chip only plasma runs to make you change your view on the square man
mmm, bad example
your hands write checks that your vibes can't cash
square man only plasma runs then
nah, if it's not usable in a normie run,
then it's booty
honestly square goes hard with green in my opinion, i used to dislike both but now i welcome em lovingly
how did the concept of a vibe cheque only occur to me now
I can't get jokersed a third time
another easy run
useful
but I find the gameplay a little stale
which is different from saying underpowered
talking about square joker
I take them unlovingly but if I have to play that way to win so be it
I always do
Like last month i saw that blackboard was good and not deserved to be in the same rarity as flower pot
My final gold stake completion run (currently running) and loyalty card saves my bunions ante 6
blackboard my goat 🗣️
I love it
castle on the other hand is quite fun, its just underwhelming
It gets stale telling people to play pairs ngl
don't play pairs
bigger hands = higher dopamine hits
I like winning
Which is why I'm waiting for that update and hopefully the strongest hand doesn't get scapegoated as hard as pairs did.
I will make a qualification. Play pairs unless it makes sense to play something else (i picked up an ancient joker, gotta go flushes)
This does make me think, thunk's got a big task in making new jokers
Are you implying flowerpot is good or are you saying that flowerpot and blackboard are both equally bad
Well who am I kidding, 4oak could be the best next update and people would call it Mars slop
black board is goated
Neither
Discard 3 Hearts once and another 2 Hearts once,
and that's +15, about the same as Square,
with only two Discards
and without wasting any Hands (which are +$1 each)
I'm sure if he's come to the same conclusion - that hand spam jokers like green/nova/square get a bit stale - then that means we might need more unique joker conditions, and with those, balance gets tougher
flowerpot is here for mental support
My headcanon is that Castle hate is partially from Roffle hating Castle
Because it blocked him from an endless pivot once
Again I imagine this is more vibes and gamefeel, it doesn't feel as good if you're not hitting the big discard every time
Im implying flower pot is trash,what?
That lonely flower pot looking for a smeared joker
even if mathematically it's doing just as well
im asking what you mean
not the pair arguments again
i traded it for seeing double
yeah, it feels like you're getting scammed out of your full potential
omg balatro university spotted
it's all framing
even when the floor is already high enough
🤫
Valid
99% of castle players discard right before discarding 5 cards of the same suit
oh actually yeah that's another thing that feels rough with castle
first time using satelite, am i doing it right?
sometimes you play a weaker hand to find a bigger discard
I usually try to do at least 3
and you don't find the discard and/or playing a weaker hand kills you
TiL, seeing double doesn't count debuffed cards
nope cuz they have to score
Kinda unrelated but StS 2 feels a lot more accessible than the original did, and I feel like Balatro might be partially to thank
yeah, it makes sense when you read it back after.
but the first time, it might take you by surprise
like, you might not expect it but
Flower Pot works even if the cards are debuffed
it does have scoring in the card text, right?
yeah, but like
are you a lawyer?
not if theyre debuffed wilds 
seeing double yes
One after magna carta
Works if the cards under the Wilds are valid tho
i feel like i'm learning new stuff everyday here
yep cuz it doesn't say they have to score, just that they have to be part of the poker hand
it doesnt, wilds dont count as their base suit for FP while debuffed. its a known bug
I don't fuck wit Flower Pot
gotta hammer in checking them blinds
I thought it was top tier when I started playing bc I had it alongside splash
8 dollars on satellite is my pb
splash pot gameplay
I've gotten so many more splash synergies than flower pot + splash
splash is genuinely very fun
best $3 ever spent
that damn purple seal i forgot about
Chat, am i cooked? Do i skip?
if you have lots of enhancements or rank/suit specific jokers yeah
It’s weird because I knew this and have used it, but I never consciously thought this was the case.
No
can someone give me the odds of drawing a straight that contains all 4 suits
you have burglar you'll be fine
You have burglar
Not known
That much money and two shops? I’d see what I could find
that's what I'm sayin'
only that damn saturn
My top end is around 470k
the homies will look at this and go
hell yeah
i realy enjoyed my jokers too
Bloodstone, Photochad, the flush 2x one and brainstorm
i woulda liked oops all 6's tho
who needs +mult anyway?
I guess it’s the odds of drawing a straight and then (the difference of) the odds of drawing either two duplicate suits or 3 of one suit.
or chips...
true!
which is only known on first draw
once you have discards, it becomes impossible to calculate. you just need to run simulations and work out what the average is
Well yeah but the first draw is also technically the average
Bloodstone is calling... 📞 🔔 🔊
Guys I got c+ today someone congratulate me
no it isnt
congrats
This was my final run for the last gold stake
Thanks
truly Harvey Dent's favourite joker
shut up, it's not sock
Dumbest gold stake win I’ve ever had
My first runaround was chips only plasma
I bet the real answer is the winrate of flowerpot
Because of middle-of-straight cards I know. Like if you draw all your 5s and all your 10s and then discard them all or something.
But that’s the worst case, and then the best case is you draw a all suit straight right after every play/discard of a straight
Holographic square might be a top 3 dopamine hit
OMG, i did it! I'm gonna have two loyalty card hits on the violet vessel! 3+6 hands
I love when this happens
or when it's a mult card that is foil
Wrong message but I get it
oops responded to the wrong thing
Easy
who is blessing my runs today
Holo Square and Foil Grimbo might be neck in neck
scuse me it's 4am

I like a good foiled Obelisk
the foil green joker “no more scaling for you trap” I fall for it every time
Green joker needs a nerf, make it reset to 0 if you discard
I finally know what Saitama feels on specials
Definitely a bit suffering from success but you could always sandbag
The green pill or the yellow pill
this truly is something
chigoat
Every other legendary is so needy. Chicot is just there for you
to fully utilize chicot he is going to need at least 2 slots in your joker roster
and 600$ in boss rerolls every ante
The ultimate homie
hes there like the green goblin mask sitting and just begging to be ankhed
yea but it pisses me off when i get a chicot, like bro its a chicot who wants a chicot
I refuse to believe legendaries have an equal chance of showing up (I know about the gold stake sticker thing that's not the point)
What people should learn from Grimbo is that there are benefits to discarding even with Grimbo.
Me I’ll take it
I want a chicot
ill take chicot over any other legendary on gold stake if I get to choose
no one likes canio
Ride the bus conditioning evaporating when I realize I can do literally whatever I want once grimbo is 40 plus mult
💛
And it's better that way instead of people just making arbitrary hard rules like "oh I got Grimbo it means I should never discard"
for me the odds are (from most frequent)
Yorick -> Canio -> Chicot -> Triboulet -> Perkeo (NEVER shows up??)
hell yeah
i did a mistake by selling shoot the moon
Bus condition is so easy it is close to being nothing tbh
I've never had a successful run with perkeo because I only got him like 2 times when I was less experienced at the game so I became too greedy
I thought it was mid until I discovered non-scoring face cards don't reset it
reading does wonders
give bus 1 in 20 chance to crash on its own
Indeed
WHERE ARE MERCURIES
that is really common, a bit less for square joker and believing it requires 4 scoring cards
THANK YOU
nah if it was that it would kinda suck
some do think it works like that
how would you guys rank flowerpot if not all suits had to score
lucky hitting 20 mult saved my ass
very very solid
Mercury is the least of your concerns here
not blackboard levels ofc
nah
but a very strong xmult option forsure
yeah
Thank you unbiased source
i need xmult that may be true
just fucking manifested two xmults
PLEASE GIVE ME ENCHANT CARDS
EMPEROR YOU GOTTA DO IT MAN
damnit
so close yet so far
I mean License was already sellable
i sold license
license is such a trap card fr
emperor trolled me and gave me the cards i needed least
Yea just that license couldn't help
I mean death was good
still 15/16
would've breezed through verdant with x3 license
the run was over before i began it by selling mime and shoot the moon ngl
Were low stake runs always this easy or is Balatro mobile rigged or something
isnt that just normal ghost deck
oh wow
I stopped playing ghost as much once I gold staked it on pc but yeah
Hex into ankh moments. I guess the more interesting thing about this run is the seals
Average ghost deck run
altho now i hate painted deck much less than before
Oof lol
i should've transitioned into 4oak tbh
Well I guess average blue deck runs dont differ much
Bro what is this
ante 3 mult pivot
I think that's slightly excessive.
I shouldn't but this bp right,
depends on what suit was disabled first
What should I do??
chat do we risk it
BALATRO IS TOO FUCKING HARD
GRRRRRR
how do i last anything above ante 4
and im at blackstake
AUGH
i love hearts
You want to have some form of scaling and an idea of your ante-8 win conditions by ante 4
- mult scaling is strong and available from a fair number of common jokers.
Planet scaling is slower and usually relies on deckfixing and a source of planet cards (which isn’t always just money income)
The boss blinds you see (or don’t see) early on are a good way to direct your build
gg
+Mult has diminishing returns especially without +chips (which can be from planets), and the same applies to chips without +mult.
Xmult becomes more valuable if you have multiple sources of it. Two x3 buffs are collectively an x9 to your score.
The typical Balatro gameplan is get easy scoring or income early, use scoring to survive and save money, find a scaling source of anything if possible, in the meantime scale a convenient planet card
I usually find myself approaching club+spade decks or heart+spade decks.
Spades aren’t overpowered or anything -the arguable “strongest” suit is hearts - but dedicating a build to a suit that has not been debuffed by a boss is extremely risky without boss nullifiers/rerolls.
so what you can actually do is say “I need this suit the least” and pick away at that suit.
If you soumd like ai does ai sound like you or you do
But anyways thanks
Ai sounds like me
ok
Hearts are pretty solidly the weakest suit in gold stake
Clubs and spades are the best, their uncommon suit jokers are better and they have blackboard/seeing double
yorick would be crazy
with all the discard jokers I have
welp its chigoat
nvm and I died next round
It’s because they technically have the best retrigger build. Basically it’s just bloodstone
And yeah club+spade synergies are resistant to debuffs, though I’d still hesitate to call either clubs or spades the strongest suit
what is the strongest suit
Bloodstone is not the best retrigger build
It’s not the strongest or most consistent
no I mean that if you had a retrigger setup and no concerns about debuffs you’d prefer heart suited cards
Only because of bloodstone. Retrigger builds exist without hearts
I wouldn’t
Is the club uncommon really good?
you're kinda late buddy
If it was a peak retrigger setup id want diamonds for more money
would have loved to have had vagabond earlier
1 in 2 for 1.5x is nothing when idol gives 2x guaranteed
In a normal setup id prefer agate or arrowhead
I don’t think bloodstone is strong
Because they always score
I just think hearts are made stronger by bloodstone.
Well of course they are, otherwise they’d have literally nothing going for them
But you can argue that for any suit about their respective uncommon
If I find the diamond uncommon I usually keep it until at least ante 4
That -1 consumable slot is so much more punishing for five card hands than for pairs
Except spades and clubs cause of blackboard and double
Like again, my most common setup is a club+spade combo. But idealistically I prefer the optimal heart setup, and the rarer diamond setup
But they’re still made stronger by agate and arrowhead
This game literally should be renamed to Pairlatro
I really like arrowhead but I don’t vibe with agate
Maybe I’m missing something but that’s never been a path for me to pivot into clubs
Yo I have a question for you guys
Agate be like "I am Fibonacci but worse"
Yeah
Do you think pirate joker and gift card are good together?
I think it’s both of their best synergies
at least score wise. Perkeo temperance or something
Yes they are also good with Egg
Egg becomes unnecessary given gift card i think
Most of the time i prefer swash egg to swash gift bc even though it scales slower, it doesn’t force you to keep your jokers to keep the mult
im so unlucky istg i just lost a run with a blueprint and brainstorm cuz i could find one mult joker💔
I guess it depends mostly on where gift card is at already
Also it does kinda make up for itself by literally refunding you
So is my run good
It hit ante 12
When was this risk not taken
Taking the voucher for one auntie left
blood stone needs three things. Hearts, retriggers, and planet levels/scoring +mult. (Barring dice because obviously)
Is that polychrome???
its indeed rare
Every time i see a poly chrome, i think "man, how do i turn this into a dusk build"
Yoooo.... I wonder if there are weekly challenges for how far you can go in a set seed
You can try to seed
Just try to keep giving money to the pirate
I also missed an egg because I took it a negative
Swash isnt worth focusing on after ante 8
It's all about them retriggers and xmults
Do you mean the banana
Cavendish falls off eventually
Cavendish quickly falls off
Repeated xmults are the only way to survive far
We just have to know how to play the game to use it
It didnt make a difference to your highest ante
2^10 is greater than 3
why is card sharp not banned on golden needle...
I swear the only way to get >1 hands is a bug with troub or chicot needle, which is only for 1 round
if card sharp should be banned on golden needle, then so should cav
cav requirement for its scoring is not even conditional
I've played this round kinda badly but the game wants me to win
Guys I finally achieved c++
Congrats on the naninf👀
no?
i dont see how that logic follows
cavendish prerequisites +/ scoring isnt hindered my golden needle
while card sharp actually just cant do anything besides be an uncommon joker
sell hex and banner, take trance and sly
Goldstake, here I come
bro this is the most free win of all time
I didn't even play that well
yooo haha
I mean it might scale kinda slow now
Imagine if I got it earlier
I bet there's an eternal brainstorm in that buffoon pack
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Erosion Trading Card my beloved...
Also Arrowhead my goat
Flush gold stakes no xmult 🗣️
I didn't even need that glass
That's game.
Goated 🔥
I should really consider not photochadding it anymore
The seed has spoken 
Alright, Ghost Deck.
Balatro has fallen, billions must photochad
My favourite deck alongside zodiac
Boys, Gals and non-binary pals... I have a dream.
Yo what is this
Pls keep me updated, I wanna see that
I believe in u
🫡
You need flat mult and you’re set
You die to the psychic tho
Unless you grab paintbrush or juggler
We're discussing like dragonball characters spectating a fight
Amazing
But yea it all depends on finding a way to get more hand size and mult
The rest is set
Green joker, appear in my shop and my life is yours 🗣️
Haha so...
No way
Helo gamers. 1 take gold stake run any deck. Which deck are we thinking bout.
Go with me on Ghost
Run it back
Run it back baby
can someone give me like some tips on black stake
Alright
Calculata
Goldstake aint shit
I won too :D
so glad i gave abandoned a chance the deck fix potential is crazy
five of a kind ante 2
First Goldstake on new Profile:
Took the red card early hoping that I would put it into good use, unfortunately its impact was less significant when i found the Trib. I found a deja vu on the EXACT next reroll after picking up the legendary, which was pure luck. An eternal chad came later, and following it was an ankh.
I took the risk and did it, it hit the Trib :D. From there on, i stumbled upon an eternal burnt joker of which I took, then took an Ecto that hit the trib. After that, I found a photograph.
Fourth attempt, and we won :D
1/15 now.
first goldstake?
nice i only did my first like a few days ago and it was also goldstake
noiceee
wait im cooking
hell yeah
Hell yeah indeed
First goldstake on this profile
Am gonna quit now for a little lol
choices choices
seeing naked bp in shop is like seeing a lifeguard when you're drowning
truly
no just swap that todo list for better econ
swap to do for vagabond?
yh ik 🤣
its onyl red stake tho i dont think u rlly need it
yh
if anything itll be constellation that you drop
since constellation and campfire clashes
you wanna sell them for better temp xmult or use them for smaller perm xmult
so its either one or the other imo
yh
so yeah if anything you could drop const for vaga but i wouldnt keep it past ante 6
ima be real
well dusk with lucky cards can be nice with vaga
since ur playing to one hand anyway
yhh
i love golden ticket
got a gay ride the bus lmaooo
didnt see they were eternal xd
btw i didnt take the vaga SHLDVE THO
madness at x2.5 I got it kinda late
rip
there's an eternal hiker here
lowkey just get a few gold cards with ticket ezpz
canio cameo
i throwed
rip
i hate this game bruh
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I think I will
yeah it's just at 3.5
triggers x thing. think one each is best (5 x 2) compared to 3 x 3
Interesting jokers i get when just trying to complete purple stake, got red seal glass kings too
might be time for campfire to go soon
when i find an oops or something
deck is looking nice i js want a hack now
pair slop!
hologram got turbo buffed in the second to last shop with a clutch incantation
Does anyone here play dbd
WE all love baron
muahahahaha
obviusly the free x3mult
Wait i lowk just realised there are dbd face cards
So like
Damn
Trapper as king is criminal
card sharp definitely
card sharpppppppp
just lost an ante 1 perkeo 😔
Card sharp only good for pairslop tho
last file to get fully 100% on steam
still better than chad
so cool
for that moment
theres save files?
pairslop wins runs unfortunately 💔
gl
wait we MIGHT be cooking
I have a red seal king in my deck
Imagine if I got DNA
red seal steel
probably better to look for Deaths and Hanged Men
even with that you need planet levels to make it work
and Cryptids
ooohh hallucination
Raised Fist and Shoot the Moon can work as well
and then pray that Plant doesn't appears
just say no
the plant cannot ruin your run without your consent
yeah, really specific but atleast they're common
yes it can
just ask any White stake player
Plant is the first grapist on this game 🥀
and then there comes VV to gold stakers
Is crying over not being able to buy the hanged man technically crying over spilt milk
👀
ah damn forgot to copy halu
literally unplayable
I must reset
I made a haiku abo7ut balatro
Cards fall on the felt
Jokers help to beat the blind
Play one more run now
What do I do 😭
delete the sock
Is there mobile balatro
?
erase it from the plane of existence
yes
like genuinely laser tf out of the sock
I'm hereby issuing baron a formal apology
it only procs on face cards
what
I was unfamiliar with its game
but with a brainstorm
whats the deck
Zodiac
cld take the hack but the dusk is doing the same thing 😭
no like what do your cards look like
guys, new file, should i start with Unlock all or do i 100% all? after this one i'll probably delete it so, maybe i start a Unlock all file, right?
yea why not
yeah
ok
