Holy

The goat

[lunar zealot]

who tf told you

[terse vale]

hi

[lunar zealot]

also i dont remember skipping brainstorm rebate

[versed sable]

:(

[distant vault]

The goat!!!

[terse vale]

ion even play balatro that much anymore sadly but its still like top 5 games for me

I keep thinking about it

[serene forge]

it has overstock its fine

[ruby vessel]

High card slop

[ruby mulch]

no more pairslop!🥺

nebula is NOT the worst deck

i proved yall wrong

this was one attmpt

first try

best win streak 2

[barren spire]

I suck so bad 😭 😭 😭

Pair spam doesnt work for me 🥀 🥀 🥀

Ima try abandoned deck

Do I take double tag on first ante?

[tight harness]

do it

[barren spire]

Okey ty

[tight harness]

have you tried flush spam

[fading dome]

Just found this, wtf did you do here. I can promise you soul spawning jimbo isn't an "urban myth" or whatever (the game has some very simple failsafes for joker generation), but what happened here?
Did you manually edit the savefile to get those jokers in your slots?

[humble gulch]

Never

Double tag is the worst tag you can take

Like, in every deck

[fading dome]

I feel like there have to be worse tags than double tag just because of how double tag works

[serene forge]

no

never skip for a double tag ever

[humble gulch]

It doesn't give you value

[brittle ocean]

Do you use all your hands every round

[humble gulch]

And you have to skip again

[brittle ocean]

That’s pretty important for scaling the jokers

Assuming you have scaling jokers

I think there’s not much point in playing pairs if you don’t have scaling jokers? Could be wrong

[barren spire]

Oh 🙁

[barren spire]

I didnt get any last run 🙁

[fading dome]

True that it doesn't give immediate value and true that you're forced to skip a second time to get value at all, but wouldn't something like.... speed tag also be awful in general?

[barren spire]

Erosion plus abandoned 🙂

This finna be peak

[glass creek]

At least it immediately gives you something, I guess

[humble gulch]

Double is worse

[versed sable]

mfw ante 15 baron

[glass creek]

They're still easy to play and synergize with a lot of stuff, just need chips and mult

[fading dome]

I guess? I don't think that that instantly makes double tag the worst thing to exist though

[fading dome]

Ait. I don't feel like this discussion is going anywhere

[quaint spire]

how far we think im getting on a random seed?

over or under ante 7.5

[knotty zodiac]

this is just debug mode on an arbitrary seed i found that had soul in arcana ante 1. first soul via arcana and the rest through debug generation. i've never modded or changed savefiles

[glass creek]

Secret invisible showman

[tight harness]

over

maybe

[fading dome]

on white stake? Higher

unless you're specifically adding other self-imposed rules

[versed sable]

arcana:

[glass creek]

Surprise! It's a spectral pack!!

[stone shell]

you might die to ante 7

[fading dome]

Ah, did you spawn the first 5 legendary jokers in by pressing 3 on them in the collection?

[versed sable]

i just saw a triple bus in the shop because of showman wtf lmao

[knotty zodiac]

yes

[sleek pike]

If I put an eternal joker to the right of a ceremonial dagger, does it gain the mult and not destroy it, or does just nothing happen?

[fading dome]

If the Joker to the right of [dagger] is Eternal, the Eternal joker will not be destroyed, and no Mult will be added to the total.

[sleek pike]

My words always love appearing where they aren’t supposed to

[sleek pike]

Alr good to know

[polar trellis]

Can I take this second ecto? I have neither hand size voucher unfortunately

[fading dome]

Because you're in the collection (G.OVERLAY_MENU is defined) when spawning jokers in using debug, balatro doesn't properly realize you added the joker to your slots (as if you had stuntman), that's why you didn't get jimbo from your soul

If you instead spawn in 6 souls and activate them one by one, you'll get jimbo on the sixth one

had to double check the code for that one

[sleek pike]

Probably shouldn’t, but I’ll let someone with more experience answer since I don’t fully know what I’m talking about

[polar trellis]

I just think its too early

[fading dome]

are you trying to naneinf?

[polar trellis]

And my vouchers in general are kinda doodoo

I would like to

[modest mist]

Hey! I know someone who does that!

-# it's me

[polar trellis]

I know what to do

[tight harness]

same

[polar trellis]

Hit the Ouija and get all 5s for the hacker idol pivot

[knotty zodiac]

thanks! so does this mean i could get duplicates in shop bc collection spawned jokers aren't recognized as added?

[versed sable]

very next arcana pack

[fading dome]

It's generally recommended to only use 1 ecto for naneinf, though you might be able to get away with using a second ecto if you have both handsize vouchers?

[versed sable]

8 spectrals in 9 tarot slots
wack

[polar trellis]

I have neither

I will skip him

[versed sable]

2 ecto

[knotty zodiac]

@frank grove this is why:

#🕹・game-discussion message

[fading dome]

Yeah

at least, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to see a duplicate in the shop

[lost vault]

meow

[knotty zodiac]

ig theres no reason to look in shop for jokers if u can spawn them for collection

[long zodiac]

is the game trying to tell me something?

r-riff!

[knotty zodiac]

which explains why i never noticed if it happened

[lost vault]

no

baron is ass

[fading dome]

two ecto is recommended? I always thought it was only one but tbh I don't really go for naneinf myself so I might be giving flawed advice

[sleek pike]

Two?

Minus 2 hand size is pretty significant I thought that would be a dealbreaker

[fading dome]

probably also why Thunk didn't notice a bug in his debug tools haha

[barren spire]

Peak 🙂

Pairs worked that time

[stone shell]

oops

[barren spire]

Had erosion till ante seven where I sold for blueprint

[sleek pike]

To the moon my beloved

[primal dragon]

I got the rule breaker requirements but didnt get the trophy in game center anyone know any fixes?

[versed sable]

-2 hand size and +1 copy joker, assuming you have DNA, is effectively only -1 hand size
and it's another baron or mime during scoring

[primal dragon]

I got it while offline

Do i just wait

[barren spire]

Constellation kinda peak

[stone shell]

yeah the game kinda bugs out while giving these achievements sometimes

just win another run though and you'll get it

[primal dragon]

Alright

[sleek pike]

Congrats tho

[fading dome]

win another challenge run and you should get it

[stone shell]

do i aura or talisman the rock

[barren spire]

Time for black stakes 🙂

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

what is this challegne

[stone shell]

luxury tax

[fading dome]

that's only if you're planning to use DNA for the naneinf, which you don't have to right?

[sleek pike]

My first ever time breaking 1bil was with bloodstone so I kinda hold it in a special place even if it is mid

[stone shell]

im gonna aura

idt talis is that wanted

[serene forge]

2nd ecto should never be taken unless you want to bean bug

[sleek pike]

What’s that mean?

[barren spire]

Do I take rocket ante 1?

Lot of money 🙂

[sleek pike]

Ofc

[barren spire]

Ty

[stone shell]

i almost used hermit at zero dollars

[sullen sleet]

tryna do a 100% balatro run

[fierce pewter]

this game hates me or something

i cant seem to get the cards i want or i could work with

[versed sable]

it's semi necessary until you get to the part where you do burglar

and burglar is buffed by a lot more than 1 hand size, when you get another copy joker

[grim thunder]

Finally a good joker on round 1

[serene forge]

post a seed

[fading dome]

yeah you need DNA in the "mid-game", but you'd probably want to replace it with burglar in the "late game" right?

and burglar is buffed by a lot more than 1 hand size, when you get another copy joker
hmm yeah the math checks out

[final escarp]

is it a common opinion that chicot should reverse the blind effect

[serene forge]

it already does

[fierce pewter]

i got off

[final escarp]

no but like

chicot effect should be chicot effect with two chicots

[lost vault]

this message could be either really true or really dumb

[final escarp]

rebate!!!

[serene forge]

how is that different from what it already does

[final escarp]

its double the effect

[fallow shadow]

chicot dont need to be better

[lost vault]

why exactly

[polar trellis]

Chicot nerf pls

[lost vault]

ah yes buff the joker thats good

[final escarp]

cause um

idk people dont like chicot

[lost vault]

guys blueprint should also have brainstorm's effect

[lost vault]

and?

[final escarp]

thats why I askee if it was a common opinon

[serene forge]

same people that glaze baron

[grim thunder]

Obviously

[serene forge]

some people can't be saved

[final escarp]

genuinely

baron is [bad]

[lost vault]

we know

[polar trellis]

Chicot is good sometimes, sometimes you'd rather have something else

That's balatro

[lost vault]

we arent reddit for the modt part

[lost vault]

boss blinds appear in every run tho

:3

[polar trellis]

Yes but they're only 1/3 blinds

So your joker is only useful sometimes

But that applies to many jokers

Idk it all depends

[lost vault]

point is chciot is helpful in any circumstance

[polar trellis]

Truke

[lost vault]

how good he is depends on what you're playing

if pairs

hes kinda just okay

but if its like

on score jokers

very good boy

[polar trellis]

3 of a kind

[barren spire]

Is eternal ride the bus fine on abandoned?

[stone shell]

🙃

[lost vault]

its good on everything

abandoned or not

[barren spire]

Already on ante 4 but I cant use face cards anyway

[stone shell]

depends on how early but hell yeah

[lost vault]

really doesnt make much a difference

[barren spire]

Even tho i cant sell?

[lost vault]

you rarely ever want to sell bus anyway

or you should

[polar trellis]

It'll give you flat mult for the rest of the run

[barren spire]

Oh ok cool ty

[stone shell]

if you pick up the bus you likely want all your mult to come from the bus

thats how scalers work right

[polar trellis]

So that plus like a Cavendish or something, youre set

[barren spire]

I have supernova too

[lost vault]

chip scaler too

[polar trellis]

Ttu

[barren spire]

Ooh

Just pulled brainstorm too

[polar trellis]

I mean that can come from light straight levels or something

Like*

[stone shell]

if you showed up earlier i would pivot :P

[polar trellis]

THERE'S STILL TIME

YOU WILL MAKE HIM SAD IF YOU SELL HIM

[stone shell]

youre right i have enough purples to save me from the grasp of pairslop

[polar trellis]

Wait what challenge are you playing

[stone shell]

luxury tax (-1 handsize per $5)

[polar trellis]

That was a fun one

[stone shell]

yeah but its really easy :P

rocket helps the econ management alot

[polar trellis]

I played 5 of a kind 2s lol

Lucky 2s

So I farmed money in my scoring hand to roll in shops to burn my money away

Definitely not a smart strategy but it worked

[stone shell]

okay so this could be the pivot of all time

im gonna sell burnt so its not run throw worthy

[polar trellis]

What were you leveling with burnt

[stone shell]

nevermind i shouldnt have sold burnt

[stone shell]

i got it early so i just resorted to leveling pairs :P

[barren spire]

Hehehe im happy 🙂

Do kinda need an xmult tho

I really need x mult...

Do I replaced rocket or supernova with campfire and try to lvl it up a bit?

Or space joker?

[stone shell]

we escaped pairslop territory (i had one queen in my deck when i got trib)

[viral raft]

Pairslop on a challenge?

[stone shell]

its just luxury tax

and pairslop is kinda just the default way to win most runs i think :P

[ruby vessel]

Pair slops pretty good for a lot of the challenges from what I’ve seen

(I’ve only done the first 7)

Tho I commit the ultimate sin and played a flush build for one of them

Spade flush trivializes x ray vision

[barren spire]

Do I sell anything for campfire or space joker?

Or should I try to reroll and get some x mult?

[stone shell]

erm

[viral raft]

It's white stake so pairslop is just playing way too safe

[stone shell]

non perishable

[waxen quartz]

you have 2 scaling jokers. replacing one of them with xmult higher than 1.9 is prob better

[ruby vessel]

Fair enough

[tulip oak]

perkeo👀👀

[ruby vessel]

Tbh I’m too used to playing on gold stake I always forget I have 3 discards

And I forgot small blinds give money

[stone shell]

how bout for jokerless ill do a straight flush build to win it

deal?

[barren spire]

I'll reroll once and see if I get it

[stone shell]

i just wanna blitz through the rest of this for now

[barren spire]

Tbf I kuna have 4 rn

Bc brainstorm and blueprint

[ruby vessel]

What’s ur favorite challenge so far?

[waxen quartz]

let's say you have 50 chips x 10 mult x 2 xmult. you care about the relative increase of each number. adding 150 chips is the same as adding 4 xmult

[stone shell]

monolith because its just the obelisk tutorial

[ruby vessel]

Oh I haven’t unlocked that one yet

[stone shell]

ive technically already played and completed every challenge yet but i dont have the steam achievement for it so im just redoing it :P

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[ruby vessel]

How did u get cheated out of the achievement

[barren spire]

Do I take acrobat or burning joker? If so what do I replace for?

[stone shell]

long story short i was a goof while modding balatro

[barren spire]

(Ignore ice cream that was earlier)

[waxen quartz]

what ante is it? you said playing pairs? 3x final hand isn't as good as much less xmult on each

[ruby vessel]

Ah damn that’s rough. I was looking at double or nothing. Is there any strategy beyond just using planet cards to get enough base chips/mult that debuffed cards don’t matter

[stone shell]

yk this was the one joker i didnt want :P

[tulip oak]

sell blueprint for icecream

[elfin scaffold]

That's tuff wydm

[waxen quartz]

if you're playing 1 big hand, then def acrobat. it's also a good get out of trouble joker or milk hands for scaling joker

[ruby vessel]

U can get eternal legendaries?

[waxen quartz]

no

[stone shell]

its the challenge

[ruby vessel]

It’s the worst legendary

[waxen quartz]

oh typecast challenge

[ruby vessel]

Ohhh

[stone shell]

non perishable

[tulip oak]

its time to start full housing

[barren spire]

Ante 6 and playing pairs

[waxen quartz]

what hand level now? also which stake? I think higher stakes, that's a pretty big jump in needed score, lower stakes are smoother

[stone shell]

nah im just gonna be a bum and play pairs while treating trib like an econ joker for temperance

[ruby vessel]

I like the omelette bc u can get swashbuckler and basically just win from there

[stone shell]

man the game really wants me to pivot

fine yall get the trib build

[barren spire]

Black stake and lvl 6

Star one is giving plus 30 multiple rn

I could sell supernova and rocket and just use fire to lvl up pair and acrobat if im abt to die

[waxen quartz]

burnt will give you 45 more chips and 3 mult per use. probably a big deal, just have to survive

[barren spire]

Ok ty

What should I sell?

[waxen quartz]

how much $ do you have now? 2 copy jokers on acrobat would also be really big

[barren spire]

Ooh ima buy grabber too

32 dollars

[waxen quartz]

well lower +mult. brainstorm copy bus, bp copy acrobat might be better final hand.

[barren spire]

Rockets giving 11/round

[waxen quartz]

I think with those you probably scale fine to the end

[barren spire]

Ok

So sell rocket and supernova and buy fire and acrobat?

[stone shell]

from what ive heard this is likely the best play since the base hands arent that leveled up

scoring wise

[barren spire]

Lvl up pair 8 more times before funal boss and have 3x mult on final if hand if ineed

[waxen quartz]

there were 2 copy jokers in pic. think it'll be fine

[cosmic sun]

Holy [cungadero] Baron is the [BIG SHIT]

[barren spire]

Ok

Ty

[waxen quartz]

it's 3 levels per round. can probably afford to crash the bus if you need to 🙂

[barren spire]

I forgot abt copies on fire

Hehe

So many lvls

Tysm

[stone shell]

plant jumpscare gets absolutely hard countered gg

[lost vault]

freaky ass run wth

[barren spire]

My hand is so big too 🙂

[spring radish]

anyone interested in playing balatro with 3+ players?
-# such as co-op, 2v2, FFA
ignore if no

[lost vault]

idk

[barren spire]

I had to sell my fire guy so he doesnt get the black chip in corner 🙁

The boss made me sell one

Peak run tho

Had bus, blueprint, brainstorm, fire guy and acrobat

Didnt even have to use acrobat 🙂

Time for blue stakes

[waxen quartz]

you just unlocked the most fun deck though

[lost vault]

the onlu one that matters is the gold chip

[barren spire]

Oooh what's that

[barren spire]

I'll get it soon

[stone shell]

no retriggers but trib can already solo white stake by himself 🙃

if i could change one thing it'd be the smiley face pick up because boy was he useless

[knotty zodiac]

ooh i thought u were going to do two pair

[safe flower]

You guys think anyone has gotten laid because of balatro that would not have otherwise if the game didn't exist

[stone shell]

the pairs was just because of the start of the run

final hand ended up being flush five because i was able to make that much

[knotty zodiac]

sometimes the opposite lol

[stone shell]

also got to body the plant by just rerolling it so thats satisfying

[knotty zodiac]

dm;hb

[safe flower]

Many people are saying this...

[knotty zodiac]

balatro control is peak

[barren spire]

What are the best tags?

I have a double tag from soda

And idk what fo use it on

[glass creek]

Investment tag

[waxen quartz]

investment ante 1 or 2. all others are situational

[barren spire]

Is voucher tag peak?

Nvm

I wouldnt have enough for all three

[knotty zodiac]

early orbital straight or pair is pretty good, esp pair if u have no chip source yet

sometimes a late handy tag if your econ is mid

[knotty zodiac]

voucher tag good for endless

[barren spire]

Paradolia on abandoned for the funnies hehe

Pareidolia

I'll skip for mega celestial bc i have constellation

Thats ×.4 from that

And maybe a pair upgrade

Aww man 🙁

I couldve waited and got 2 negative jokers

[patent sail]

todays balatodle is horrible

11 tries and the joker is ASS

[sly bridge]

Borlato

[lunar zealot]

ok chat

if your body tells you

to throw up

then do it

don't be like me

[sly bridge]

I have a solution to your problem
Borlato

[elfin scaffold]

Chad is so good bro

Def top 10 jokers

[polar trellis]

The redditor joker stats of all time

[knotty zodiac]

rebate a bit high for reddit

and photo a bit low xD

[barren spire]

Uhh oh

Purple seems hard

We got this tho trust

[knotty zodiac]

ya it's like white stake vv every time

plus 20% of the time 4x

[barren spire]

Do I sell banana to buy brainstorm?

[humble gulch]

No

[lost vault]

you'll die

[knotty zodiac]

here take everything

[ruby vessel]

didn’t realize this was a fact in regards to scoring I thought it was a threat for a min lmao

[lost vault]

yes yes its a fact mhm

.>

[humble gulch]

Balatrodle in 4

[versed sable]

not only would you probably die if you went for brainstorm, cavendish would realistically do a good bit more than a brainstorm would do by the end of the run since it'd just be copying a +mult joker

[brittle ocean]

Credit card in the buffoon pack

[barren spire]

Ok thanks

[lost vault]

blueprint in buffoon, sell for brainstorm

🧠

[versed sable]

[patent sail]

tomorrows joker sucks

its horrible

absolutely ass

[humble gulch]

Lol, 65 dollars

[patent sail]

its still not updated for you🐈💔

[humble gulch]

Uhm

[patent sail]

hallucination carry

[humble gulch]

Real

[frank grove]

Ahhhh interesting that makes sense

[barren spire]

I keep getting brainstorm super early on when it would either kill me or I cant afford 🙁

[humble gulch]

Bro

HUH

[rancid lichen]

this run keeps on giving...

holy shitttttttt im happy

[knotty zodiac]

i can stop anytime i want

but i want my next hit now

[stark charm]

Do I cripple my econ for an inf tarot card?

[rancid lichen]

i alr get 25k

i think I just win

okaysupernova does the least

[knotty zodiac]

hm cert in shop, i think it's either obby for gift card or cert for square

[rancid lichen]

WHAT IS THIS SEED???

[long zodiac]

Well, we're officially underway with the win streak now

[knotty zodiac]

took obby

[humble gulch]

Violet vessel is a joke

[waxen quartz]

meh, I just went through found bp, this will be great to rerolling 60 deep for 4 antes and coming up empty. same jokers as ante 3

[ruby vessel]

It’s the easiest final boss blind imo

[humble gulch]

Acorn

Bell

Leaf

[ruby vessel]

Yah but those at least have gimmicks

Violet vessel is just another blind

[glass creek]

VV's gimmick is being very large

[ruby vessel]

Yah but I feel like unless ur just scraping by or had an unsuccessful pivot; the x3 score requirement is negligible

[glass creek]

The x3 is more noticable on gold stake (or I guess purple technically)

The typical 400,000 vs VV's 1.2 million score requirement

[rancid lichen]

love this

[ruby vessel]

No no I’ve done the gold stake plenty of times

But by the time I reach ante 8 I’m already hitting 1mil plus bc of scaling and planets and deck fixing

Well I say this

But I also get shit on by the boss blinds a lot bc I don’t pay enough attention

I’m not a good player by any means tho u can prolly tell

[ebon condor]

do you play pairs or just whatever

[median needle]

Next person to talk about Balatro gets banned from playing it for one minute

[ebon condor]

bc i think that kinda changes things

[ruby vessel]

Imma be honest I’m kind of a degen. I used to be a flush player where I’d just go flush into flush house or flush five

[rigid mesa]

Rate my engine

[ebon condor]

yeah i think thats def a factor

[ruby vessel]

But after joining the disc I’ve diversified into pairs, two pairs, straights, and high card

[ebon condor]

fair enough

[rigid mesa]

Like a 10/10 orrr

[ruby vessel]

Yah that’s fair they do seem to do have a lot more support towards endless

[rigid mesa]

Guys

My engine

[ebon condor]

i think also maybe for a weaker player (if you dont mind me saying, you did say it yourself), youre more likely to need a vessel-beating build to be strong enough to get to ante 8 in the first place

like a build that might struggle vs vessel you might lose with earlier

but idk

[ruby vessel]

Oh yah ur good idrm

And yah that’s a really good point I i didn’t really consider that bias

[rancid lichen]

I think I get rid of glass joker here

Im playing five of a kind glass jacks rn

or flush five

[rigid mesa]

Holy speedrun

[fringe nebula]

how unfunny can someone be

[rigid mesa]

Its STILL going g

It was a good run

[frank grove]

run 2 of turning every challenge deck into the abandoned deck 🔥 15 min city 0 faces played lets gooo

[fringe nebula]

another baseball run

[knotty zodiac]

i always forget how powerful obby is

[knotty zodiac]

french revolution argil style

[magic mural]

woohoo i unlocked satellite

i ended this run with like $1200

[knotty zodiac]

tbh the joker fits the unlock requirements very well lol. "u have money? lemme give u some more, but later, much later."

[magic mural]

not easy to unlock but very very cool

[knotty zodiac]

i think it was one of my last ones ya

around when i did the ante 12, the 100m hand, etc.

[eager cairn]

I've DONE IT, C++ is done!

I had to complete another run after I'd already done it since it wouldn't give the achievement

[frank grove]

Run 3 of turning challenge decks into abandoned decks - 6 cards 😭

[knotty zodiac]

congrats! what was your favorite planet? and wanna show us your card stats?

[eager cairn]

Favorite planet is def mercury

Pairs ftw babyyyy

[rancid lichen]

gg!

[eager cairn]

Here you go

[frank grove]

is final challenge needle?

[eager cairn]

No...Jokerless...

Jokerless makes me so scared even after playing this game for 275 hours...

It still scares me

[knotty zodiac]

i mean the card stats, that red button. curious about your play style, esp your tarots and planets 🙂

hm i almost got screwed by rental rebate. $7 expected value yielded -$3 instead 3 rounds in a row in ante 2

[eager cairn]

My fault here you go 😅

I'm a photochad lover 🫡

[knotty zodiac]

fellow rebate and square lover 😄

looks like you started with flush and moved towards pair?

[eager cairn]

Yeah I was huge into flushes in my first hundred or so hours

Than I hit blue stake and got my ass kicked

Wild to think before blue stake I thought square joker was terrible 😭

[rancid lichen]

i just win...

and i shouldve gotten retcon FAH

[eager cairn]

Scholar just chilling

[rancid lichen]

died to plant

fucking love this game

🔥

[eager cairn]

Bro that's some real shit

[rancid lichen]

My W streak had to end eventually im alg

holy shit I did blue deck green stake, yellow deck white and red stake all in a row😭

i think I got blueprint or brainstorm across all of them too😭

[eager cairn]

Whenever I try to get a pair build off the ground, the arm steals all of my planet levels and leaves me for dead 😭

[eager cairn]

Also that's normal, I got balatro on my phone and I've been blowing through the blinds

[fickle glen]

I keep defaulting to using flushes in my runs. Anyone have any tips to try and break this habit?

[eager cairn]

Stop trying to force flushes, let alone any build imo

Go with what the game gives you

More often than not 'what the game gives you' is a pair or two pair build so...🗿

[fickle glen]

I hear you but this is also the hand I just got

[eager cairn]

Seance is completely salivating right now

[fickle glen]

this sure was

[eager cairn]

Mmmm +15 mult

Funny how it won't really matter much to a straight flush either 😭

With how much straight flushes score alone

[eager cairn]

What stake are you playing on?

[fickle glen]

just white. im trying out zodiac deck

[eager cairn]

Aight

[fickle glen]

im still pretty new to this game, only about 40 hours

I beat gold stake on checkered deck

[eager cairn]

Yeah pretty sure that was my first gold stake win too

That deck is very easy to manage and get a win on gold stake, because you're given a direction from the very start

Even if flushes don't exactly scale well with other decks

However, I think getting your first win on checkered deck is sort of how you got into that habit of forcing flushes

Just a theory

[fickle glen]

yeah thats what I was thinking too

[cedar sable]

Warframe mentioned

[fickle glen]

hell yeah

[eager cairn]

What do y'all use for your cards? Mine's Cult of the Lamb, DBD, Rust and Slay the Princess (I'm pretty sure)

The Jack of Spades looks so good with the Slay the Princess look

[frank grove]

I use all default still cause im so used to them 😭

but i play with high contrast on

[eager cairn]

I tried to play with high contrast off recently and it was so weird

It was like trying to see without glasses after having them on for a long time

[brave pecan]

genuinely thought my run was going good until i realized i accidentally clicked seeded run

[knotty zodiac]

top secret seed!

=========
simply acquire a hanged man, they said
maybe next time ig

[humble gulch]

I'm getting a lot into Terraria, help

[final escarp]

yoooo you also took the ante 1 even steven 🔥

[knotty zodiac]

fortune teller value 😄

[cedar sable]

i forgot mines

all i remember is diamond and clubs

warframe and stardew (recently changed)

[cedar sable]

formerly gungeon

[fringe nebula]

ok so

[cedar sable]

for hearts

NO I DIDN'T USE AMONG US SHUT

[fringe nebula]

uh

[cedar sable]

last time i see spades it was shovel knight

i forgot the current one

[compact gazelle]

messed with the lua to get a zzz deck skin to work with the texture pack loader

[echo owl]

ante 8 gs tier list revised

[frank grove]

vagabond below hallu?

[echo owl]

yes

i changed a decent amount

but not vagabond

[frank grove]

4 tarots a round vs 1 (expected) a shop ?

[tawdry epoch]

So far green deck gs has been pretty easy

[echo owl]

you lose all your interest and become broke

[frank grove]

no you dont

[turbid nova]

Yeah

[frank grove]

Hallu is for sure good, but its not 4 tarots a round good

[turbid nova]

I wouldn’t take vaga if I have strong econ already

[turbid nova]

Who wants 4 tarots when I’m one shotting everything 👍

[echo owl]

ive been seeing lots of vaga fans next time i see it i will try it just to see if im wrong or not

where's that seed finder thing

[frank grove]

i guess? but then why do you even want hallu in that case either

[echo owl]

i want to find a seed with just vagabond and nothing else special

[wicked sable]

should i ditch abstract and guarantee yorick gets a gold sticker?

[echo owl]

yes

[frank grove]

#🕹・game-discussion message play this seed

[echo owl]

abstract gold sticker is very easy it's a common

[turbid nova]

I was about to say “isn’t yorick stickered already”

The orange one looks so similar

[echo owl]

ok lemme play rn

[wicked sable]

range

[cedar sable]

showman at f

ok

surprised that you didn't put bloodstone at f tbh

because of how much people hate it

[ruby mulch]

only strat for nebula deck is

pairslop!

yay!

pairslop!!!

[cedar sable]

what nebula deck do again

[ruby mulch]

it gives telescope

[cedar sable]

ah

[ruby mulch]

but one consummeable slot

[cedar sable]

blue seal nerf

[ebon condor]

VILE c tier

[ruby mulch]

but pair every pack

so

[cedar sable]

i just realized

[frank grove]

i still dont understand vagabond being SO low its kinda crazy

[cedar sable]

cola at c

[ruby mulch]

nebula is NOT that bad

[cedar sable]

fair enough

but imo i wouldn't do pairs

i would go for a bit higher

since telescope is telescope

and if you have good enough +&x mult

flush is always viable

[ruby mulch]

nah bru u gotta stick with one at the beginning

and if you do lkike

4 of a kind

thats hard to be consistent with

[cedar sable]

i mean

flush is consistent

[frank grove]

Pairs or hc usually end up being the most played at the end even when playing flushes/straights/4oak

[compact gazelle]

midas mask shortcut duo and bus in the same tier as photograph smiley ticket and splash

[cedar sable]

imo

[frank grove]

cause you have to start to dig for value at some point in the game

[compact gazelle]

criminal tier list in general

[ebon condor]

stencil placement 😭

[cedar sable]

TRUE

WDYM STENCIL AT A

also

SHOWMAN AT F

[ebon condor]

ok but like actually steel joker and cloud 9 are the 2 jokers that i see hate for that i just cannot comprehend how they are possibly bad at all

like sometimes i get the argument even if i disagree

[knotty zodiac]

hm what are your thought on grimbo vs bus and rocket vs midas

[frank grove]

vagabond below marble joker bro

[undone talon]

im inclined to sell not only a baron but a brainstorm or blueprint

because i want to increase chance of hitting bean

what do we think

[cedar sable]

marble is trash

imo

[undone talon]

i cant sell either mime

coz thats the ecto mime

[cedar sable]

since it'll always counts as high card anyways

[humble gulch]

Showman is one of the worst if not the worst

Well

It is the worst

[cedar sable]

you can get dupes from it

so that's why imo showman at f is crazy

[frank grove]

oh yay two empresses thank god

[cedar sable]

just think about it

i mean sure invis joker

[knotty zodiac]

you think that's op? my arcana pack has 3 lovers

[cedar sable]

can do the same

[humble gulch]

You don't need dupes, is the most unreliable thing ever and is expensive

[ebon condor]

me when i open my spectral pack and i see 3 cryptids (if i didnt have showman they would have been trance and immolate)

[cedar sable]

wait

[ruby mulch]

thank you balatro for increasing hte odds of face card jokers to 9999% when im using abandoned deck

[cedar sable]

dupe scaling joker can be bad

from showman*

[frank grove]

dupe anything is kinda bad

[ebon condor]

not ANYTHING

but its very rare to have a joker worth duping and then actually getting the dupe

[cedar sable]

this tbh

[frank grove]

this is the only time in like 800 gs runs where showman actually did anything valuable in ante 8

[cedar sable]

actually

[humble gulch]

Also showman just makes all shops worse

[fallow shadow]

showman is wicked bad

[cedar sable]

showman sucks

because of

[ebon condor]

how is this not a won run already 😭

[cedar sable]

it lowers some joker odds

i forgot about it

[frank grove]

oh yeah i ended with flush 5

[cedar sable]

and invis is straight up better

[frank grove]

thats why i took showman 😭

[ruby mulch]

reserved parking just ALWAYS in my shop when its abandoned deck

[echo owl]

rocket is better and grimbo is better

[ruby mulch]

they actually increase face card jokers

like

THEY DO

[cedar sable]

seance is so hard to play so no wonder it's at f or d

straight flush

[ebon condor]

.

thas a rough one

[knotty zodiac]

yes i gathered from your tier list. why tho?

[proven lichen]

Yall how do I fix the graphical glitches on a samsung a55

[frank grove]

what what .. what

[humble gulch]

Bus is so good, literally the best out of the commons hand/mult

[echo owl]

actually no maybe bus is better

[humble gulch]

And midas mask is straight up just incredible

[echo owl]

rocket doesn't make me have to thionk

[echo owl]

ok i changed my mind bus is better i dont feel like changing it rn tho

@frank grove ok im on the seed

[frank grove]

even on abandoned i think midas is better than rocket across a run, but a lot of people wouldnt agree cause a lot of people think face cards are impossible

[proven lichen]

Tell me immediately

[ruby mulch]

what am i supposed to go for in abandoned

like

straights

??

[humble gulch]

Straights, 4oak or good ol' pairs

[ebon condor]

i dont think anyone here knows, maybe try google/reddit or check in #1200105253559873707

[frank grove]

yeah

[echo owl]

this is ridiculous unc

where is the vagabond where where where

[celest cobalt]

i wish i get souls more often 😔

[turbid nova]

For ante 8 there’s nothing more situational

[frank grove]

abandoned means better draw reliability, finding the faces i put into the deck or make is easier, then midas works, then i can draw the gold face cards more often and get more money than rocket usually does faster and its in hand so mime works with it and rarely ticket value

[celest cobalt]

cause perkeo is so broken

[turbid nova]

Except maybe the idol

This was mad funny though

[echo owl]

i feel like that'd take longer than rocket

[ruby mulch]

wait shortcut just makes everything a straight wtf

[humble gulch]

Oh

[turbid nova]

Homophobic joker

[compact gazelle]

new pfp yet again

[ruby mulch]

was i supposed to know this

[humble gulch]

Yes :3

[turbid nova]

I mean it skips ranks

[cedar sable]

fair enough

[frank grove]

3 gold cards in the deck is 9 dollars, and i get an empty joker slot at the end for other value generators like hallu etc instead of rocket

[mint kestrel]

Do i buy burglar and if so for what im trying to nanif or should i keep what i have.

[echo owl]

@frank grove ok maybe i was wrong about vagabond

[compact gazelle]

infinite wellspring of faces

[ruby mulch]

wait people who love straights are actualy saturn theory because the planet card for straight is SATURN HEXAGON 😳🥶🥶🥶

[compact gazelle]

oat

[knotty zodiac]

do u strength 10 into J speculatively for face card value? not just for midas but in general on abandoned

[frank grove]

yeah

[humble gulch]

Oat

[celest cobalt]

you need perkeo to stack plutos

[frank grove]

for photo value on straights, for faceless, occasionally business card

[compact gazelle]

oat :3

[turbid nova]

You don’t need perkeo

[knotty zodiac]

ig the only thing its bad for is rebate

[humble gulch]

I'm literally just winning right now

[turbid nova]

But if you want naneinf you need more copy jokers

[humble gulch]

:3

[frank grove]

well its abandoned still i see almost every card by ante 3/4 anyway usually

[humble gulch]

LOL

[frank grove]

so like 2 jacks is about as good as it hitting aces that ive started to remove or strength

[echo owl]

hm should i get steel or glass hmmmmm

fuck i forgot to go down to $8

oh my god i forgot to go down to $4 again

[knotty zodiac]

J high straights time

[echo owl]

@frank grove im sorry sir vagabond is actually pretty good

[humble gulch]

If it's Trib I'm savescuming

[turbid nova]

Happens to me too haha

[humble gulch]

Chicot

I mean, I don't need it

[turbid nova]

🐐

[turbid nova]

Get lots of gold cards so you have money to spend in the shop

[knotty zodiac]

do u guys like magician or devil better on vagabond

[ruby mulch]

ride the bus as my first joker in abandoned

yes

[frank grove]

devil, occasionally magician maxxing will mean a 20 dollar proc on a hc

[turbid nova]

Devil

[echo owl]

2 vaggabonds

i cannot be stopped

[turbid nova]

Actually magician money is bad if it’s not your last hand

Since you don’t get more tarots for the rest of the round

[frank grove]

yeah thats what im saying its occasionally not great to have full luckies

[stone shell]

is mime worth it here to double the value of my blue seals

[turbid nova]

Same for gold seals or stuff like rebate

I meannn

[stone shell]

my rationale is that because medusa floods my deck i probably wont get more than 1 blue

[turbid nova]

You have so many

Oh yeah

I guess

[echo owl]

what's the best card enhancement

[knotty zodiac]

gold seals are curses ya but $20 is kinda handy even if it kills your tarot stream

[echo owl]

is it gold

i think it's glass

i love glass

[turbid nova]

Glass is good but it’s a retrigger merchant

[humble gulch]

@frank grove You need to see this.

[turbid nova]

My fav is lucky

^ degenerate gambler

[echo owl]

vagabond is still NOT a tier

actually you know what fine it's bottom of a tier

[turbid nova]

sure

Sounds fair

[stone shell]

i think gold is the best in general

[humble gulch]

Gg

[knotty zodiac]

3/4 procs wow

[frank grove]

holy shit thats insane

[stone shell]

although luckies have an arguement given retriggers and stuff

and magician giving 2 luckies

[turbid nova]

Lucky also has my fav specific joker associated to it

Lucky cat is amazing

[tawdry epoch]

Wee joker is the strongest

[echo owl]

ante 8 gs tier list revised

im sorry vagabond for doubting you

[turbid nova]

Ok now it’s pretty reasonable

[frank grove]

there are some others that are in spots a little high or a little low imo

[sudden reef]

vagabond is lowk fire

[echo owl]

honestly i dont see much id change here

[turbid nova]

Like what

[echo owl]

like this is a pretty basic tier list honestly

[tawny sluice]

Wait why is stencil A?

[echo owl]

stencil is my second favorite joker

it's so good

[stone shell]

i sell chicot here right

[frank grove]

Smily is very high, stencil is high too, parking below satelite

[echo owl]

i love smily and stencil

i dont like parking very much

[frank grove]

and matador is very very low

[tawny sluice]

Tbf you don't get more than 1 very often

[sudden reef]

why ramen on c bro

[turbid nova]

Are the tiers ordered

[sudden reef]

why photo chad on b wtf

[turbid nova]

C is low for matador?

[frank grove]

yeah

[echo owl]

It works with only high card and pair mostly and even then 2x isn’t that huge

[turbid nova]

I think C is fair

[sudden reef]

not for me

[turbid nova]

In fact it’s probably D for me

[echo owl]

Chad is probably low a but I’m too lazy to change it

[sudden reef]

you forget that high card and pair are the meta?

[frank grove]

matador is like a 1/2 past ante 1 for an investment tag, and in ante 1 only a couple bosses dont work

[willow frost]

matador is like a +$50000 every 2 bosses

[echo owl]

2x still isn’t very high for something that also lowers when you discard

[split rivet]

bro got drivers license in B while cavendish is in S

[sudden reef]

don't discard then

[sudden reef]

agree

[echo owl]

Yeah cause ramen doesn’t let you

[sudden reef]

wth why is stunt man and certificate in A

[split rivet]

stunt man is based for pairs run

[sudden reef]

nah only early

[tawny sluice]

On another point present is goated if you get that sell value tarot card

[sudden reef]

and even there is not that broken

[echo owl]

Stuntman is so cool and certificate too

[tawdry epoch]

gift card isnt c imo

[sudden reef]

cool yeah
But being a whole tier above chad is crazy to me

[tawdry epoch]

its like egg but you can get value out of it even after selling

[willow frost]

oh yeah why isnt chad s tier

[echo owl]

You can basically either get a free tarot planet of your hand or three bucks per round plus it gets added to your deck permanently so more seals

[echo owl]

I think so it’s not that good really

[sudden reef]

it's okay

[split rivet]

how is chad s tier come on

[echo owl]

It’s probably a

[sudden reef]

I personally think chad is actually the best joker in the game

[turbid nova]

Chad is A

[willow frost]

genuinely at least top 5 jokers on its own

[echo owl]

Done lost his mind

[turbid nova]

Chad on its own does nothing

[sudden reef]

hear me out

Chad is a common that is almost always useful

[echo owl]

Exactly that’s why I say top of B or low A

[split rivet]

on its own??? yay extra 20 chips wow such S tier

[sudden reef]

in worst case scenario is more chips early

can give econ

[echo owl]

You need synergy for it to be useful

[sudden reef]

can give mult

[echo owl]

You get me nick

[sudden reef]

has the best sinergy in the game

[turbid nova]

No I’m not agreeing lol

That’s why I said A

[echo owl]

I thought we were friends

[echo owl]

Me too

But like

[turbid nova]

💔

[echo owl]

I’m too lazy to go change it

[sudden reef]

It has way too many synergies

[echo owl]

sinergies

[turbid nova]

It synergizes with every on score effect

[tawdry epoch]

the synergy stated is literally anything that is on scored

[split rivet]

I can't keep coming back to this server it's ragebait every time

[sudden reef]

it's also a common that appears a lot

unlike blueprint for example

[echo owl]

But like you know usually it’s great but not like insanity

I’d say bottom of a

[turbid nova]

It made a middle of the road common (photo) into the 2nd most used joker for of a lot of ppl

[echo owl]

The jokers are getting ranked at face value

[stone shell]

chad is so good it has an entire combo named after it

[turbid nova]

Blueprint does nothing on its own lmao F tier

[frank grove]

run 4 of turning every challenge deck into abandoned (removing all faces and getting to 40 or below deck size) 🔥

[sudden reef]

when you play enough gold stake you learn to appreciate rarity a lot more

[echo owl]

The first person to discover photochad must’ve felt like the first caveman discovering fire

[turbid nova]

Yeah haha

But it’s such a boring combo at this point

I’ll still take it of course

[sudden reef]

Chad is one of the few jokers I find unbalanced

[willow frost]

i strongly dislike photochad

[turbid nova]

hanging chud

[stone shell]

wow im so affected

borderline run ending ante 1 boss

[sudden reef]

also, why is perkeo in A

[turbid nova]

I couldn’t rank Perkeo because it never shows up

[echo owl]

Why wouldn’t it be

Are you saying too high or low

[sudden reef]

because he is probably the worst legendary for gold stake

[echo owl]

No unc

[sudden reef]

he is the best for white stake but for gold stake he doesn't do much

[turbid nova]

Trib

[sudden reef]

nah trib is very good for ante 8 gold stake

[ruby mulch]

first straight run

[frank grove]

whats your order best to worst for legendaries on gs

[ruby mulch]

it says high card bc ride the bus

[ruby mulch]

TIMES REROLLED 1 I COULDVE GOT THE ACHIEVEMENT OMG

[turbid nova]

I only got it like 2 or 3 times when I sucked at the game

And didn’t know how to use it properly

[sudden reef]

probably
trib
yorick
canio
chicot? (maybe tied with perkeo)

[turbid nova]

And I haven’t seen it since

[frank grove]

chicot at worst? for gold stake? what

[turbid nova]

Not my chigoat

[sudden reef]

idk I don't use him much he doesn't appear that much

you're probably right

[echo owl]

Yes

[frank grove]

my order is:
yorick
canio
chicot
perkeo
trib

[sudden reef]

wtf why trib last

[frank grove]

draw reliability and bosses can just outright kill you

[echo owl]

Yorick is like the LeBron of Balatro

[sudden reef]

only 1

[echo owl]

He just gets shit done

Incredibly easy and reliable xmult scaling that’s decently quick

[turbid nova]

My order of how often they show up for me (most to least often)
Yorick
Canio
Chicot
Triboulet
Perkeo

[stone shell]

technically i can sell misprint or hallucination to get the knife conveyor and swash + egg

[frank grove]

if you dont draw your cards on needle you die, if you dont read and you go against pillar you can die, leaf when you have full eternals (bad planning but also you die) against the mark when you havent deck fixed enough and you have no enhancements can kill you, against the serpant occasionally cause draws are worse there

[ruby mulch]

wrong ss omg

[echo owl]

The pillar one has happened to me more than I’d like to admit

[turbid nova]

The serpent?

[frank grove]

yeah

[turbid nova]

Bro just use all discards first

[frank grove]

you only draw 3 cards

your draws are worse

[sudden reef]

only needle is valid
the rest are just skill issues ngl

and even there trib is just kinda bad but better than most jokers

[frank grove]

i mean i havent lost with trib in ages but it doesnt mean that only 1 boss can kill you cause i didnt even mention the plant 😭

[turbid nova]

The mark just play 5 face cards surely there’s a 2 pair in there

The plant sure

[echo owl]

Top 5 hardest boss blinds 1 needle 2 eye 3 flint

[frank grove]

the mouth as well

[sudden reef]

the one boss I was talking about is the plant

[frank grove]

if you have to play high card to dig

[knotty zodiac]

not seeing 8 cards in 23/52 cards seen is not skill issue (serpent), it's a bad draw

[turbid nova]

Oh my god I hateee the mouth

[sudden reef]

if you die against the mouth you are lowk bad at the game

[humble gulch]

Trib is good, but it's the worst legendary

[echo owl]

What about the tooth

[sudden reef]

if you are playing towards trib and you have only 8 kings/queens that's a skill issue

[hearty tusk]

what that mout do👀👀👀

[ruby mulch]

notice how these are the best jokers in the game 😳😳😳

[humble gulch]

Their ragebait is more than 8000!

[turbid nova]

That one too it doesn’t let you play throwaway hands like usual to look for stuff

[echo owl]

Ok I don’t know the rules well enough

[sudden reef]

oh wait I mistook that boss sorry I play in spanish lol

[frank grove]

i love that you dont even explain your points you just go skill issue lmao

[sudden reef]

I thought that was the tooth

[tawdry epoch]

photograph

[ruby mulch]

photochad

[hearty tusk]

who the hell is the teeth

[tawdry epoch]

doesnt make him near the best

[sudden reef]

tooth*

[hearty tusk]

the tooth?

[ruby mulch]

photochad flush runs are the most viable and considtent runs ever

[hearty tusk]

ph right mb

[sudden reef]

I meant to say tooth (I confused the bosses xd)

[turbid nova]

Oh ok haha

[humble gulch]

Please be joking

🐑

[knotty zodiac]

ah right so just dont play towards it until you have 12 or more, sounds like a good legendary

[frank grove]

just auto deck fix for baron and trib all the time 🤓

[ruby mulch]

i kinda am kinda not

like

they are

[turbid nova]

Canio has the potential to scale super fast

[ruby mulch]

but there are some better i GUESSSS

[compact gazelle]

very high quality

[humble gulch]

They're not

[tawdry epoch]

canio is like one hanged man and you can just leave him alone and he carries

[sudden reef]

Now that I think about it most of the times I get trib early 🤔

maybe he is not that good you guys are right

[turbid nova]

Canio Immolate 🤤

[echo owl]

I like trib more than chicot

[compact gazelle]

canio trading card

[humble gulch]

I hate trib more than baron

[tawdry epoch]

wait parieloda canio

[stone shell]

who do i sell for burnt

[echo owl]

I miss my girlfriend I hope she wakes up soon

[echo owl]

Riff raff

[turbid nova]

Trib is xmult

[frank grove]

sometimes

[stone shell]

but knife riff raff conveyor belt

[compact gazelle]

is this a short term loneliness thing or a debilitating injury thing

[echo owl]

Short term loneliness

[sudden reef]

where does scholar go in that list?

[echo owl]

We just started dating very recently but we’ve liked each other for months but we didn’t know

[humble gulch]

Photo

[knotty zodiac]

whats dagger at

[echo owl]

Still tho I think you have enough + mult actually wait phot

[stone shell]

38

[humble gulch]

Mult

[tawdry epoch]

i like green deck cause i can shop i just started the game and live

[frank grove]

swash can go right?

[stone shell]

swash is at around 40

[turbid nova]

Find yourself some xmult that triggers at the end bro

[compact gazelle]

if they knife the egg yea

[stone shell]

46

[compact gazelle]

depends if they wanna keep boosting knife

[frank grove]

yeah i stab the egg and take burnt over swash probably right?

[sudden reef]

why not chips?

[compact gazelle]

stab the knife 😭

[stone shell]

yeah its probably time to part ways with swash egg

[humble gulch]

Mult gives more value

[knotty zodiac]

i also stab knives 😄

but ya stab egg seems good

[sudden reef]

it gives more chips than mult tho

[compact gazelle]

argil: stabs knives

[frank grove]

so does every chips and mult joker

[sudden reef]

so why would they qualify as mult jokers and not chip jokers?

[stone shell]

i accidentally stabbed photo

but i took the petroglyph its all good

[compact gazelle]

petroglyph :>

[gray pasture]

Hello, so I admittedly joined this server just to show this bug I just got but I have not seen anyone report or say anything about this bug so I feel I have to share this, was running orange stake yellow deck and this is the first hand I draw. I went and looked back at the seed too and you just have permanent 5 card hands regardless of play or discard and the big blind does the same so I assume all blinds do, no ecto, ante 1, just nothing to cause this. Has anyone seen this before?

[knotty zodiac]

i love petroglyph

[frank grove]

do you play with mods?

[gray pasture]

nope
