[violet forge]

oh I more than got it

Foil Triboulet

[woeful cedar]

Huh

Dunno if I've ever rolled a legendary with an enhancement

[violet forge]

I once rolled a negative legendary and lost my mind

[woeful cedar]

Neato

[violet forge]

https://balatromods.miraheze.org/wiki/Neato_Jokers

[vestal forge]

am i becoming a streamer i said “if we could find a mime thatd be huge” and

[vestal forge]

no rerolls just first thing i see after saying that 😭

[vestal forge]

ngl i dont think i even take it, its INSANE money from parking and gold cards but i dont even need money

its good for the steel cards but i dont have a ton of those

bro…

classic photochad

[violet forge]

and just like that, at Ante 17, my favorite build is complete

[vestal forge]

try not to accidentally beat the blind challenge level impossible

this wouldve come in handy last shop…

[violet forge]

Polychregg

[vestal forge]

this was fun

spectral pack has immolate right?

[vestal forge]

wait i just realized i took raised fist over dusk last shop…

peak negative tags…

ancient is definitely a joker

ok ig im just winstreaking my way to anaglyph gold stake wtf

ante 3 btw

LMFAO

[vestal forge]

i have to take it just cus its so funny even tho ill probably never get to use it

oh… its really funny but i cant

sorry idol maybe i can come back for you if i ever actually “need” it

balala

[oblique lintel]

Who should I pick?

I like the idea of leveling up

But Showmanship is useful in certain situations

[vestal forge]

for the bloodstone i found earlier

[vestal forge]

DEFINITELY space joker

[oblique lintel]

Yay

[distant spindle]

invisible jokered the baron and got insane luck with instant mime

(parking was a nat neg)

[vestal forge]

i would love to make a strush pivot but i unfortunately already took telescope and have a crazy high jupiter level

[vestal forge]

still probably better than space tho, in ensuring my draws dont kill me

[oblique lintel]

Huh... Burnt Joker

[vestal forge]

no i prefer space

yummy

[distant spindle]

I mean if you have the deck for it, I think you have enough time

[vestal forge]

flush is currently level 14 and played 14 times 😭

[distant spindle]

fair enough

[vestal forge]

turns out i dont need four fingers for the strush pivot

[ancient stirrup]

step 1: draw strush
step 2: play strush

simple!

[vestal forge]

are you fucking kidding me? i was gonna play a hand scoring billions as a dramatic finish, purple stake immediately after blue stake, and now im softlocked

[vestal forge]

how the fuck does this happen and is there anything i can do about this

[distant spindle]

lmao

[distant spindle]

rip

[distant spindle]

genuinely I have no clue, that sucks

[distant spindle]

i found another invisible joker 💀

[vestal forge]

apparently this happens every time you leave the game opening a pack from a double tag skip

[oblique lintel]

This became the least threatening Boss

Should I buy the voucher?

[shell nacelle]

Holy deleto what a start

Unseeded

HOLY MOLY WHAT

Cant afford sadly

[halcyon pagoda]

Hello, I need help with joker order

I know for 4 copies its 2 on each but if I have 7 what is the correct. Is it just 1 more on baron

Whoops wrong ss

[distant spindle]

pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

at least I unlocked him :(

[vestal schooner]

go to balatro calculator website and find out yourself

[halcyon pagoda]

Alrighty!

No bean or dna in 100 re rolls

Im never getting seedless no legendaries nane inf

[jovial birch]

this is actually so mean

[near spade]

Okay so this is a photochad run now how do I squeeze every bit of score outta this

[carmine garden]

how good is this pull for an omelette run

[round dagger]

i mean

i dont think you need us to say thats a good pull

[carmine garden]

yeah uh

that was a hard carry ngl

i died immediately after but whatever

[glass jolt]

Got an invis off of a judgement, and it ended up copying chicot….

And another invis…..

Make that 3 chicots….

And a soul???????

Well that’s certainly a joker lineup

Seed will 100% be posted once run is done

As if this run couldn’t get any stupider

[faint crow]

whats the play guys

[upbeat mauve]

Hello balatro people

I need help

I currently have naneinf using the baron mime method

However I also have a natural negative sock and idol

Is there a possibility of me beating ante 32 and going on to ante 39?

If so, what would I need for the pivot of the century

[upbeat mauve]

Ok so slight problem

[rigid mantle]

that happens when you reload into the save after reaching naneinf

[upbeat mauve]

Ok so new problem

[rigid mantle]

if you are on pc, there is a fix, but I don't have a link to that resolution

[upbeat mauve]

How do I kill myself so I can see the seed

Without playing a hand

[rigid mantle]

I don't know the best way to fix that but you could upload the save file for the run and someone with Talisman (a mod) could get past the scoring issues (I think talisman can resolve that issue after it has occurred but I can't say for certain)

[upbeat mauve]

I'm on mobile...

Hmm

[rigid mantle]

yeah

no

no resolution

no way to get the seed

[upbeat mauve]

That's sad...

Would it have been possible to beat ante 32 though

[rigid mantle]

likely not, ante 32 needs a lot of extra help

Extra permanent handsize, either through the bug with Chicot + Manacle, or with Turtle Bean + Crimson Heart

Extra effective handsize through Cryptid + Perkeo and as many Blueprint/Brainstorms as you can get

not sure what else you can do to get through there

[upbeat mauve]

Rip

What if I used the +20 hands from burglar to help maximise hits on crimson bean

[ancient stirrup]

pairless #9 (42/150), rotating streak: 3

double dipped the bean (it showed up twice) for some sweet saturn levels. then got canio online.

[rigid mantle]

Yeah, that’s something you can do on ante 8 and sometimes ante 16

[fair walrus]

black deck is evil as fuck

[hazy ruin]

Where's the evil in that screenshot

[fair walrus]

no mime:(

[hazy ruin]

It happens i guess

[hard osprey]

just genuinely curious how hard I'm gonna fail

[brisk bronze]

dude just take that 😭 and reroll proabably

[hard osprey]

it continues

I'm... probably not taking baron here tho, too early and need score

sly is tempting tho (no sticker)

[royal cedar]

Early baron is a trap

[hard osprey]

fell for it so many times... and yeah, i took a baron lol

[fair walrus]

please jimbo i need this

PLEASE STOP

I NEED A MIME NOT A THIRD INVIS JOKER

ugh

ok fuck you

[long fossil]

currently scoring e31 because i dont have observatory.. any way to survive to try to get it or is the run actually cooked

maybe e33 i forgor either way really below

[long fossil]

okay in the future how brick would it be to buy every voucher (planet, card, and tarot specifically) until i get observatory

[hard osprey]

i did not fail, ante 12 and even got 2 stickers. could've been more, but i took invisible and it landed on the negative eternal misprint (because of course)

[waxen latch]

clair obscur reference

[tired flare]

erm

i think the game wants me to pivot

i got 2 kings you think i can do it 🥹

holy fuck

gang i was kidding

give me steel please 🙏

[tired flare]

planted 😞 got e24 though so hey do ya see me complaining

[hallow current]

A scaling too high?

[pliant robin]

Should I sell something to take the burning joker

[bleak axle]

dna

[pliant robin]

Bit late now mate

[bleak axle]

Dooont care

[vague drift]

[hallow geyser]

thanks

[slender steeple]

8 ball the goat

[violet chasm]

Four best spectral cards in the game 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[hidden sentinel]

Three*
Replace black hole with the blue seal giver

[violet chasm]

Black hole is goated in the early game

[hasty yarrow]

What's the rule of thumb for taking smiley face with photo Chad? Is there a point where it falls off? (Full house build rn)

[violet chasm]

Smiley just isn't worth it twinium

Also I would copy photo

Only once though

[hot lake]

its super early. should i sell shoot the moon and take the hit the road? or not. first time playin orange stake on blue

[hot lake]

i was thinking the same

brainstorm on sock, blueprint on photo

[violet chasm]

Well if it's photochad then brainstorm on chad

[hot lake]

i still need help with my post if u can offer it

[slender steeple]

you have no other +mult so no

well actually you could buy it anyways

[grim lynx]

should i get photograph? i alwas find it weak and especially here it's eternal so idk.. and what should i temove it for

[bright heron]

alright i hate round 31

[hasty yarrow]

I had no clue it mattered tbh. I thought you just wanted more retriggers

[violet chasm]

If you truly wanted more retriggers than out em both in the Chad

Sock and buskin is good for like idol and trib

X107.25 Lucky Cat. New personal best

The fattest cat in the west; so fat that it gave me three e's

[dry citrus]

so I'm doing runs in the redbull thing

[upbeat minnow]

When I am in a rubber room with rats

[frank valve]

Holy

If this was negative, would it actually give X0? That'd be really funny

[upbeat minnow]

No

It would give x1

Maybe with a nat neg invis joker tho?

[heavy stone]

hmm what should I do here

[frank valve]

Sell everything for Magic Trick

Goodbye 12x Lucky Cat

12.5 after the final hand

[slender steeple]

me doing the red bull mod speedruns

[empty mica]

Whats red bull mod about anyway

[slender steeple]

basically 5 challenges where you have to skip every blind and only do bosses. also there's several new jokers/bosses/tags

[violet forge]

new Triboulet run went swell; the negative pickups of both merry andy and delayed gratification were dope

[late lichen]

Is there any way to go back and see my deck/jokers after a run dies? like pressing esc from death menu or smth?

or if I didn't expect to die in this blind so I didn't take screenshots beforehand... am I screwed out of ever going back and seeing it again?

made it to ante 12... first time even making it to 11.

sadly didnt expect to die on big blind so I didnt get the pictures.

[empty mica]

i think you should talk in #🕹・game-discussion , this channel is almost dead

[late lichen]

I tried and no one responded 😐

which is why I went here

lmao

[empty mica]

this one is even worse 🥀🥀🥀

moves at the speed of 1 message in half an hour at best

[deep notch]

3 mil $

[rose patrol]

i think it's gonna be my last round bruh

[burnt sage]

ok guyys i dont wanna sell this its a very good unseeded i think any advice on what i should try to do?

i feel like i need to keep spamming high card so i can get delayed gratification adn try and make bank so i can start fixing the deck? need some good joker luck also ig

[unique tree]

are you going for ante 8 or endless

[burnt sage]

idk just go faar

[unique tree]

endless is much different

[burnt sage]

ok advice?

[unique tree]

Going for endless decreases your chances of actually winning the run

what deck is this

[burnt sage]

yellow

im just tryna beat them all right now

[unique tree]

so ante 8

[burnt sage]

yeah sure

[unique tree]

yeah

[burnt sage]

im at this point rn:

[unique tree]

baron in general is bad ante 8

[burnt sage]

high card lvl 10

[unique tree]

spam high card and destroy non kings

Get more money

and dupe kings after destroying

[burnt sage]

im trying but im lowkey struggling to get to the blind right now

[unique tree]

if you want to untilize baron

also, get 25$ first thing to max interest for money

You are lacking too much on money

[burnt sage]

issue is im barely scoring the blind

[unique tree]

By ante 2 or 3 you should have 25$

[burnt sage]

i think im cooked next reound bc its needle

i think i gotta play the double jack with the stone card right?

i lost

dang it

[burnt sage]

got $26

just mighjt be cooked idk

only have midas mask

[soft obsidian]

Playing 4oak and have 11 kings and a few HC levels. Is bait?

[unique tree]

that’s unlucky

[burnt sage]

i lost that one

[unique tree]

usually you can get a buffoon pack first shop and get any scoring joker to get to at least ante 3

by then you can afford other stuff

[burnt sage]

im at this point rn

maybe hope spectral is good?

i got immolate

$77 rn

[unique tree]

Obelisk and the spectral, yeah

[burnt sage]

i didnt get the obelisk lol

now here

[unique tree]

Yeah so far so good

get runner for chips

You don’t have any

[burnt sage]

i got this rn

[unique tree]

Then that’s great

even better

bull is very good

[burnt sage]

i feel like im getting so unlukcy tho

[unique tree]

now the sinful and photo aren’t doing much for you, switch them out after getting any more + or xmult

[burnt sage]

this is my shop rn

[unique tree]

acrobat switch for photo

[burnt sage]

and with this money should i be rerolling or saving or what?

[unique tree]

get the voucher and stay above 50

wait til next shop to stay above 50

[burnt sage]

alr im at 70 now

[unique tree]

reroll to see if you get any +mult

or xmult

both work

[unique tree]

yes, red card is great

one of the best commons

[burnt sage]

instead of gold?

[unique tree]

+mult

[unique tree]

no the heart

the sinful

[burnt sage]

then should i buy some packs and skip or no?

[unique tree]

yes

[burnt sage]

but stay over 50 right?

[unique tree]

unless you get really good cards\

[unique tree]

yes

[burnt sage]

i could buy both of the packs in shop rn

[burnt sage]

whats considered good?

[unique tree]

get then\m and skip

[unique tree]

like ectoplasm

[burnt sage]

ok

now this

i know that joker is good but idk if i should take

ok im at $92 right now

[untold wigeon]

I thinned my deck down to only full house

[burnt sage]

pulled a blueprint but idk if i should get it

maybe over gold joker

i also got seed money so $20 interest

ok nvm i got it over gold joker

[austere dock]

what do I blueprint here?

[fierce wadi]

been awhile since I got ante 1 investment

[burnt sage]

no idea what to do here

[arctic drift]

is skipping a bad idea

[unique tree]

depends

[unique tree]

don’t take anything

Just skip

[arctic drift]

what are good tags

[unique tree]

Investment for early game, spectral, negative, etc.

[arctic drift]

okay cool ty

[burnt sage]

what do i even look for at this point

idk if im just cooked or what

i got another blueprint

idk if i should take it

[unique tree]

What level is red card

[unique tree]

ante 10?

[burnt sage]

it has +81 mult

[unique tree]

you will die in about another ante or 2

[burnt sage]

yeah ik

idk what to do

[unique tree]

basically only 4 or 5 builds can get past ante 12

[unique tree]

not much

just get ready for game over

[burnt sage]

what if i sell acrobat and buy blueprint?

will that screw me over or no?

indeed it did screw me over

[soft obsidian]

Thank God I held onto my luchador

[lofty wasp]

Call this the New York build

[grand field]

polychrome bp bro

[soft obsidian]

Shop 1

[woeful cedar]

Completionist++ complete today.

[ancient stirrup]

congratz! lets see the card stats

[woeful cedar]

@ancient stirrup I'll share another day as it's 5am here 😅

[ancient stirrup]

gn ggs

[limber hazel]

im scared for some reason

[woeful cedar]

Ah fine I'll share. It's generic

[limber hazel]

I shouldn’t be scared that’s on me
I should have some faith in you

[ancient stirrup]

prayge

[limber hazel]

all things considered this is totally fine

you have rebate all your flush build sins are forgiven

[ancient stirrup]

totally normal for flushmax

[woeful cedar]

Comments: I used to just play endless mode for like a year before I started actually doing completionist+ and++, so that skews the stats a bit

Different stat strategies for endless

[ancient stirrup]

ya i noticed 4oak is quite high

[limber hazel]

ride the bus nowhere to be seen 😭

[woeful cedar]

4oak?

[ancient stirrup]

mars

[limber hazel]

trance tho
trance is good

[woeful cedar]

I thought it was shit till quite late on in my progression then started to use it much more, but it suits flushes worse

[limber hazel]

indeed it’s a fair bit tougher to get value from with flushes

[ancient stirrup]

hm youre playing flushes and you see grimbo and bus, which do you take?

[limber hazel]

stick it on a same suit card and hope you draw 6

wait I thought you replied to the trance thing

my bad lmfao

[woeful cedar]

Another comment: I almost never learned the meta. Almost completely self-taught. I still barely know the meta stuff and can barely name many cards

[limber hazel]

kill me smh

I can’t read im a balatro player

[woeful cedar]

I wanted an organic learning experience

But I think that influenced my style

[ancient stirrup]

thats cool

[limber hazel]

I’ve written mini essays on why flushes attract new players :3
there’s nothing wrong with it

[ancient stirrup]

self taught is awesome

[woeful cedar]

Another funny comment: because I never read the meta or looked up strats I overlooked some basic gameplay mechanics... For example, I was already nearly done with completionist++ before I noticed that you can use tarot cards from your hand while triggering a tarot pack in the shop... Like. That is a major thing to have overlooked for almost my entire playthrough 🤣

Also didn't know burglar was compatible with uh blue rare joker.... Mind-something. See? I can't name stuff

[limber hazel]

blueprint and brainstorm lol
all good

some people operate off the joker cards themselves and don’t really care about the names

[woeful cedar]

Yeah, it's all visual for me

I will also say that getting gold on all jokers was far easier than I expected. I was perhaps very lucky, with the exception of gros Michel (i bothered learn that name!) blowing up on me in four winning runs in a row (!)

[ancient stirrup]

ah yes youre the one! i just joined the "gros refused to sticker" club today

[woeful cedar]

Got all gold chips on legendaries first time they spawned too. Zero grind whatsoever for me

[woeful cedar]

1 in 1300 chance in my case 😅

My final missing joker was a common

[ancient stirrup]

glad you got it in the end

[woeful cedar]

Near the end i had 5 uncommons left, and managed to do 3 in one run. That was really lucky

Oh and of course - i mostly used checkered deck, but at points I used ghost for a reason I forget now.

Checkered is easier. Personally checkered is by far the easiest, but I'm interested to hear how opinions differ

[ancient stirrup]

makes sense, you love flushes

sounds like you didnt get much of a chance to use ancient joker then.

[woeful cedar]

Best win steak was 3 while carrying gold chip jokers. I feel that's decent.

[ancient stirrup]

ya getting 3 proves it's not a fluke imo

[woeful cedar]

I did when I got a lucky roll with it. To be honest, I think it saved my penultimate run

[ancient stirrup]

hm ig if you pick it up and its the right suit and it doesnt flip to a bad suit ever?

[woeful cedar]

Yeah, if you pick it up somewhere in ante 8 you can just skip blinds to the boss to keep the suit unchanged

In general I get the vibe that I skip blinds more often than most players.

But I dunno.

[ancient stirrup]

mm i think skips are usually bad for winrate but maybe you see opportunities that i dont

[woeful cedar]

That's why I am bringing it up 😆

[umbral marsh]

impossible

[woeful cedar]

I actually grew to skip blinds more often as my win rate went up

[umbral marsh]

it must change to a different suit after every round

[woeful cedar]

But yeah, skipping blinds is extremely case-specific. You have to have a very clear plan to justify it

Anyway, it was a fun experience. Brutal, but fun. Never thought I would go through with it.

[ancient stirrup]

1/3

[ancient stirrup]

glad you crushed it

get some rest and come back fresh for another profile 🙂

[burnt sage]

how do i go from something like this to being able to continue past ante 8? I cant figure out how to get good jokers while maintaining money

[woeful cedar]

Final comment probably: i only really started doing this run because I hurt my leg and was unable to walk so just played balatro because I couldn't do my job with my injury. I then got a kidney stone... And then a blood clot from all the inactivity... (Balatro probably partly to blame here!)

I mostly kept playing because it calmed me and helped me ignore the pain.

I'm still fairly unwell actually and on crutches again because my leg regressed a few weeks back.

But thanks for the bit of interest. It's nice to be able to celebrate a little.

[limber hazel]

spades hearts spades hearts
checkered
“bad suits” referring to the other two

[ancient stirrup]

Yay happy to celebrate together!

Hope your leg does better soon

[ancient stirrup]

I think the gameplan is more retrigger jokers, more seals, more red glass, a few more planets

[dreamy edge]

What route should i go?

Tried asking in reddit, but the image cant be uploaded.

Almost done deck fixing, but the voucher situation is not looking good on ante 11. Is it too late for an naneinf?

[lapis girder]

depends on how much you're scoring for which route to go- I can see this run going on for at least a few more antes, but I highly doubt an naneinf

how big is canio?

[lapis girder]

I doubt because of the lack of copying jokers + mime, which makes all common naneinf routes (or combinations) of cryptid, observatory, and ofc burglar + serpent much more likely

plus with burglar + serpent you'll need lots more kings

[dreamy edge]

Best hand currently is 56 billion. Caneo is x17. Had to sacrifice a few kings in the beginning. My mind went racing to the observatory route when i saw perkeo

Is going for a temporary idol run a good idea? I can replace the trading cards

[lapis girder]

yeah I think that's good

at this point I wouldn't be very interested in scaling canio anymore since 7 baron hits (1.5^7) is about 17

[quasi stream]

I think this is the only normal way to use a six-sided cube

[winter marlin]

i didnt know the mouth was a "including hand type" i thought it had to be That specific hand type like the planet cards

quite unfortunate

[lapis girder]

some things I'd love to see are

• observatory or voucher skip (use double tags) -> observatory or blank,
• spectral pack -> ecto
• sixth sense -> ecto or cryptid that is copyable by perkeo
• mail in rebate
• any copier
• mime :D
• hand size jimbos (juggler, troubadour, bean)

[quasi stream]

black bid...

[lapis girder]

we love oops all bloodstone

[quasi stream]

also in this run in the furute i get a ancient joker

[lapis girder]

it is for specific hand type

the first hand type you play when facing the mouth is the hand type you're forced to play for the rest of that boss round

[winter marlin]

oh

silly me

i misread it

i thought it was the eye

[lapis girder]

lol nw

[frozen depot]

I got my first naneinf

[willow pier]

I just hit 3 lucky wheels in a row and two polys

[rustic crest]

should i buy lucky cat ? also what should i replace it with ?

[deft veldt]

I mean what can i do😞

[bold cargo]

Was this a straight build? Decide for yourself

It was certainly a build that won

[warm frigate]

Trying to get a naneinf. Should I sell free parking for invisible? Or should I try farm as much money as possible with free parking for a bit longer?

[kindred narwhal]

get more cards bro

holy

look for dna then swap for burglar and you should get it

[warm frigate]

I’m working on it 😭 haven’t seen a single DNA and there haven’t been many card packs

[kindred narwhal]

after 1 more bp and burglar the only real improvement requires another ecto rlly

[warm frigate]

So I should skip this invis, pray for DNA, then spam steel dupes while hoping I have enough money to constantly roll for a burglar + serpent?

[empty mica]

whos getting killed

im drawing a full hand of steel red kings

[ancient stirrup]

you had:

• the whole game to prepare for the plant
• the warning three rounds before that the plant is coming

nothing you can do here, but to prevent this in the future, you need to prepare some scoring that's not face card dependent. probably some red seal glass

[sour ledge]

I would sell trub and manacle roll if possible

[vague drift]

doomed soul

so sad 🫡

he's gonna get temperanced and then sold for 10 dollars

[unique tree]

why do you have abstract and madness

you can also just skip all blinds

small and big

[vague drift]

I got abstract first because foil and +mult

[vague drift]

then I'd lose for sure

because no scoring

also that means perkeo generates no value since no shops

[unique tree]

only one per ante, but maybe that's enough?

probably not

you could also buy a bunch of jokers and play the lottery

[vague drift]

taking perkeo was not the move

[fierce wadi]

??????
scaling madness > preserving perkeo there

[vague drift]

I failed

I got an erosion to prevent my doom

[unique tree]

yeah, but perkeo is more interesting

fun > optimization

[vague drift]

and then ankh missed and hit erosion with +0 mult

so I just held R

[fierce wadi]

death

game over

[vague drift]

this is gold stake, friend

[fierce wadi]

that "fun" play you talked about isn't really fun because you have a very high chance of dying

[unique tree]

subjective

[fierce wadi]

I mean

even if you do fullskip

[vague drift]

it's not fun because you just lose in an ante no matter what

[fierce wadi]

what will perkeo give

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

[unique tree]

And? you don't need to optimize to win on gold stake

[vague drift]

also after rerolling I couldn't find tarots or planets and went bankrupt on it

[fierce wadi]

I'm keeping this one

[vague drift]

the stake where you explicitly have to optimize for good scoring and econ

[unique tree]

I've beaten it with stuff like 4oak or straights before

[unique tree]

i mean hyperoptimize

winning isn't that important anyway

having fun is the point of playing

[vague drift]

I want to win balatro so I can stop playing balatro

[unique tree]

going for c++?

[fierce wadi]

the fun part of balatro is squeezing out as much value as you can out of the things you have

🐒

[unique tree]

that's a sign you're having fun (a little too much fun though)

[unique tree]

are you inferring that I am a monkey?

[fierce wadi]

no

I am a monkey

[unique tree]

oh ok

[empty mica]

does chicot die for this

[vague drift]

why 2 chigoats

what a run

I got repayed for my previous skipping on perkeo with a foil canio that won my run 🙏

this was filled with drama and suspense btw

whatever. go my campfire

[vague drift]

there were so many moments where I had to rely on glass cards to break faces

[untold lotus]

the only thing I need is the second hand size voucher and the second reroll voucher, should I take the celestial voucher? the only joker I would need to find is the burglar after I'm done with dna

it's also super annoying I have no overstock

but that doesn't matter since all the pieces so far fell into place super easily even without jt

[deep notch]

i never take planet voucher

[untold lotus]

aight bet thanks

[fleet dirge]

its nearly never worth it it honestly probably needs some kinda rework

cuz who is spending ten dollars

to get less good jokers

[ancient stirrup]

i take it if im on the edge and i have constellation. but ya that's basically it

[kindred narwhal]

basically yea

[violet chasm]

Ancient joker landed on clubs 😔✌️

[kindred narwhal]

completely avoidable

just skip

[violet chasm]

Voucher never appeared

[kindred narwhal]

nah

not what i mean

ancient wanst clubs

last

blind

so just skip

instead of risking it

blind 1 -> blind 2 (youre here) -> boss blind (club disabled) . If it's club you dont skip and if it is you skipp

you get it?

when entering blind 2

[dreamy edge]

Just got out of work and literally on the next ante. I'll share the seed when i'm done, but this one is the most fun one i had

[kind ibex]

that was a build

that has been formed

it scores

[untold lotus]

is it possible to get naneinf without the second hand size voucher?

ive got a run going and i have everything else in place, the only thing i need now is the burglar but i got 10k cash in reserve im not sure how long i can look for the voucher, or if i shouyld just go for it

[halcyon pagoda]

I think you need to get past ante 24 to get nane inf with burglar. I thjnk im not sure

[broken portal]

my first E
is this tuff in balatro

[proper nimbus]

helloo i am a bit stuck :/// antimatter has just refused to show up and ive no idea waht the right play is. deck is fine, about 50-50 gold to steel right now.
idol is giving me around e48 right now, and I'm not sure what taking the baron would do without the extra copying joker? what the strat here to go for a naneinf after ante 24 - take the baron now or wait? probably need more econ too 😭

[feral moat]

You're probably fine if you replace the Idol

[proper nimbus]

haha yep it all worked out, ty for the advice 🙏

next reroll will give a negative burgalar iim sure of it...

although im gonna run out soon without another slot for turtle bean/dna i fear ://

[lapis girder]

this would put you super comfortable on scoring I'm pretty sure

so I'd be hard hunting for that antimatter voucher

[burnt sage]

tips?

im getting carried by the single glass card but once that breaks i lose

but i think maybe a good run if i can make it past ante 8?

[haughty bridge]

Finally done with deck fixing

[lapis girder]

smth I might do if you're safe to do so, is lose one brainstorm to make room diet cola into voucher skip -> antimatter, and whenever the slot is empty, take a mail-in rebate or reserved parking for econ

[proper nimbus]

🤩 🤩 🤩

we in business

[lapis girder]

with photochad + sock and buskin all activating immediately on scoring cards, I'm assuming the gluttonous and red card aren't making that much of a difference

[proper nimbus]

To double check what joker am I look to fill that slot with now to keep up from ante 22-24? Anything that expands hand size enough?

[burnt sage]

yeah not much

[lapis girder]

mm so one thing you could do is if you're relying on that glass card to show up, take the +1 discard joker there

[burnt sage]

oh whelp lol

im already in last round of ante 8 so

[lapis girder]

oops

[burnt sage]

just beat it tho

[lapis girder]

noice

[burnt sage]

i need to get more money

[lapis girder]

then generally speaking just look for more powerful jokers to swap those 2, like a business card would go nuts here

[burnt sage]

does the to the moon joker work?

i doubt because i dont et interest right?

[lapis girder]

that would come after the photograph hits I'm pretty sure so wouldn't be super effective

[burnt sage]

dang i lost ante 9

[lapis girder]

oof ggs

good rule of thumb for photochad runs is to stock up on planet levels

[burnt sage]

yeah i was like 6

[wooden zephyr]

what should i sell?

[burnt sage]

i just gotta learn how to fix the deck and get money

[lapis girder]

like levelling up 4 of a kind gives a lot of mult to start with, then photograph benefits from that

[lapis girder]

forgot to react lol, beautiful stuff

[lapis girder]

I say skip the invis

the only thing not immediately helping with scoring is dna, but if you get your hands on a red/purple/blue seal, those are all worth copying

[wooden zephyr]

yeah

[lapis girder]

ideally on face cards too so they're also compatible with photochad

[wooden zephyr]

game over

[lapis girder]

wait

is copying photograph better

[livid jolt]

not here

[lapis girder]

oh wow yeah they're the same T-T

6 extra triggers * 1 photo hit each = 6 instances of x2
2 extra triggers * 3 photo hits each = 6 instances of x2

[livid jolt]

copying photo is 16^3 = 4^5
copying chad is 4^7

[lapis girder]

oh wut

oh cuz glass

[livid jolt]

you’re not considering the base trigger

[lapis girder]

balamath go brr

[haughty bridge]

Let’s go 2nd ante 39 run (crimson bean bug helps a lot)

[lofty wasp]

I’m scared

Also keep in mind there was a shop ONE brainstorm that I couldn’t grab, Baron came from wraith shop one so if I run this back on yellow deck it’ll be peak

[proper nimbus]

🥳 we got there

[grand field]

wwww

[limpid sorrel]

why do i bother with this game

[wooden zephyr]

THIS IS BIG

should i sell burglar or dna?

also before someone makes that joke

[stark jay]

Two retriggers and three trib or the other way? Which is better? Can someone explain the math. I am kinda new

[wooden zephyr]

yoo negative odd todd totally needed this

[sour ledge]

I have C++ and this is my ahrdest decision.

Prolly riff tho

[livid jolt]

Snap pick riffraff

Nice deck skin

[storm bloom]

Riff is free (potentially valuable) jokers that can turn into money via the sell button

[storm horizon]

LFGGGGGGG

[old linden]

I have 13 5s

[old linden]

I think I got a spectral card somehow

[storm horizon]

33% of the way done in terms of gold stakes!

Nebula next! Going from hardest deck to easiest using Roffle's gold deck difficulty ranking

[zinc apex]

Iam on 62

[storm horizon]

Nice!

[untold lotus]

my first naneinf

nearly threw the run when i forgot to copy the burglar in ante 26 but luckily i had enough hands to get past

nat negative mail and rebate helped massively

[cursive kayak]

marble joker would've been funny here

[storm plaza]

which one do I kill off

chat, what do I do

[storm plaza]

slight inconvenience

[storm plaza]

oh btw, no single ecto

[tropic wraith]

shoulnt kill a single one

the drivers isnt worth any of those jokers

[vapid fox]

what should i even do here

i havent been paying too much attention this run, just wanted green stake done with, now i feel obligated to keep it going

[storm plaza]

kill off faceless for the soul

[vapid fox]

huh.

should i just make this a wild card build at this point

try to dupe my red seal

[vapid fox]

what is happening

it has to be brainstorm over the 2nd ancient right

ante 12 no blue seal 😔

[old urchin]

had my first cavendish kill itself after 900 hours in this game

found it again

i guess thats how it works

[sour sky]

where do I buy a lottery I got photochad early back to back

[broken portal]

yeah cz brainstorm can be anything

including ancient

[ancient stirrup]

pairless #10 (46/150), rotating streak: 4

early rental cert and midas snowballed. a7 plant was a little scary for stm but there was always enough money to find a solution

[quaint geyser]

should i take chad? if yes then what should i sell?

also this is my deck, i have a lvl 8 full house

[fierce wadi]

no

[radiant nimbus]

Hello, fairly new to this, do I take the chad?

I'm scared I'm gonna mess this potential personal best run up

[sinful relic]

best negative skip of my life

[agile girder]

Is there naninf potential here?

[inner viper]

actually kill the plant

[storm horizon]

The only way to get naninf on ghost is with perkeo

[agile girder]

alright

Well its a pretty good run still xd

[lethal delta]

not the only way, but the next "practical" way is to roll into 6-8 nat neg copy jokers

so about a million rerolls. easy

[waxen latch]

Nuh uh

[livid jolt]

even without counting hand size bugs, you can get naneinf on ghost deck without perkeo, juggle tag or natural negatives

[simple sun]

What do I do here?

[somber escarp]

Yo. Rick

[raven perch]

What do I have to do now?

V3H1KRY2

I lost XD

[woeful cedar]

Just curious, but how often do people do 'seed hunting' to get c++? I only just read about it now. I'm curious if most people do it or not.

[cedar portal]

should i buy hanging chad

if yes which joker do i sell

[vague drift]

cinema

[woeful cedar]

You could probably sell any of the first 4 and still be fine.

I'd sell numbers 3/4 probably.

[cedar portal]

i won

tsubi club tech is real

[pseudo light]

Got these in the same shop

[vague drift]

he's calling but I must not pick up

I lost

[void tendon]

hello i havent bought balatro yet and im not sure if i should buy it on steam or switch, does balatro have an in game achievement system like can i go to menu and view the achievements i have achieved?

[quiet coyote]

it has an in game achievement system, but not to the extent that youre describing. all that exists in-game is a pop-up when you get an achievement, but there isn't a way to track achievements in-game really

[void tendon]

ok thanks

[sharp kelp]

dude

[vestal bay]

Stupid question but should I get rid of baseball for idol, im 100% taking idol but idk exactly what to get rid of but my gut says baseball is the worst out of my lineup

[sharp kelp]

is this cryptid

[vestal bay]

No

[sharp kelp]

whats your deck like

[vestal bay]

I have the hangman so idol is easily the best thing to get at this point

[sharp kelp]

yeah get rid of baseball

[rare birch]

Should I get brainstorm here ?

[glass jolt]

Found a run with two nat negative jokers really early. Ride the bus in first buffoon pack, then abstract in the shop immediately after the first boss blind

AKG4859I

Seed ^

[glass jolt]

Who needs (more than two) jokers?

An ankh and two lucky wheel of fortunes for the editions plus nine levels of straight and some mult cards was enough to surmount ante 8.

[cedar portal]

is this good

[vague blaze]

pretty good ig, I'll probably switch lusty for something else

[cedar portal]

was planning on switching out lusty

ooh

i can get smiley face

actually no

[severe briar]

big stone joker

[cedar portal]

i failed

lost to the water

[unique tree]

do you not have any +mult other than holographic? put the chad before hologram as well

[unique tree]

what are your levels

[austere shore]

Who ate my oops all 6s?

[fluid shell]

Darnnn

You do need it indeed

[cedar portal]

alr failed th run

[austere shore]

HERE IS THE DICE

It's funny...

Really really funny

[outer talon]

XD

[mortal stirrup]

Thank you negative skip tag, very cool

Just a double tag with extra steps

[haughty hearth]

this is why it is not recommended to skip

[austere shore]

MORE MORE STONE JOKER

[kind ibex]

4 stickers babyyyy

[worthy inlet]

hack would go crazy here i think

will drop the seed when i get it

[worthy inlet]

oh

only took 2 minutes for him to show up! nice

what huh. okay
edit: the seed is 2TRITGFJ (erratic deck)

[tough pilot]

should i consider getting bloodstone rn? Ive got a decent deck for it

[ancient stirrup]

problem is what does it replace? i think you have enough scoring with photochadsock

dna is good for consistency

[tough pilot]

yea, ive got no clue what it should replace

nvm, im cooked

holy, i made it by making 2 glass 10s

[simple sun]

I have a cat run going but at the same time I have a butt ton of kings, should I take this?

[simple sun]

You should blueprint the photo

[tough pilot]

yea ik, all face cards were debuffed, so i was on survival mode by making 10s into glasses and using chad to maximize the score

[simple sun]

K

[simple sun]

Do you have any recommendations for this though

@tough pilot

[tough pilot]

ngl ive never played with cat, isnt it a multiplier for lucky cards?

[simple sun]

Yeah, each (lucky) trigger of the lucky card gives it another .25x mult

[tough pilot]

how many kings do you have?

i think long term baron might be better since you are scaling on lucky hits to increase a solid mult, but only if you really have alot of kings

[simple sun]

No way

[tough pilot]

nice

[vague drift]

tasting failure

[tough pilot]

to gamble, or not to gamble, that is the question

i hate everything

[shadow quiver]

😩

[quaint zodiac]

guys is this joker order alright?

[quaint zodiac]

always gamble 🥵

[tough pilot]

id use brainstrom to copy trib instead of chad

[outer talon]

:D

[signal spade]

damn super lucky gold stake seed for me

3 jokers from ante 2 and 0 income needed

[strange spindle]

im late but trib is the best copy unless you are going for more money

[cedar portal]

finally won a run on a different stake than white

blueprint + chad + photo + smiley is overpowered methinks

[deep notch]

mostly photo-chad
blueprint is always good
smiley is really just base mult one time

[halcyon bone]

what should i sell for this blueprint?

[deep notch]

probably photo

[shadow crest]

yeah photo

[lethal delta]

classic click some cards and win setup. (something like familiar never turned up that I could copy)

[signal spade]

do i risk this for chance of 3rd ankh

[quaint zodiac]

thank you, I'll keep that in mind for my next runs

[quaint zodiac]

gamble always 🥵

[signal spade]

it didnt hit but

[sly quarry]

Invisible joker soon to come your way

oh

[signal spade]

^^

how do i win though

i think i die with 5 of them

[sly quarry]

Level flush

and pray

[signal spade]

idk if itll be enough but i have to go for it surely lol

oh yeah this will win but i gotta try get 5

[lofty wasp]

oh hell yeah

3 of my goat and the'yre all shiny

[signal spade]

died here

[lofty wasp]

pairs

[signal spade]

had no money really to pivot anything

[lofty wasp]

burnt joker is amazing with pairs or high card

oh wait ur on checkered

nvm do flushes mb

[lofty wasp]

damn -3-

[signal spade]

wait can you not use riff raff and this?

[lofty wasp]

you can

but it sucks

[signal spade]

oh im on painted deck

[lofty wasp]

ESPECIALLY on black deck

[signal spade]

was full

yes

[lofty wasp]

wiat i got my decks confused

i am so sleepy and stupid mb 😭

but yeah riff raff + cagger is one of those things that sounds good on paper but is not good in practice

cagger in gneeral is also just not good in practice lmao

honestly ur better just trying to hit red card off riff raff and only keep cagger until u get more chips since the foil is actually pretty good

[vapid fox]

what should i drop for dusk here (running lucky spade 2s, red seal, lucky cat @ 19x)

probably arrowhead at this point?

[willow pier]

Yeah arrow arrowhead i think

More photochad

[vapid fox]

oh now what do i do lol

surely its seltzer over chad?

[grand field]

i think dusk but dont take my word for it

[vapid fox]

now im in a bit of a predicament

seltzer will run out soon, and once its gone i can barely survive if i use all of my glass

is it a sell seltzer for invis?

[vapid fox]

i need to skip a legendary 😭

[worn kestrel]

yeah

no legendary benefit your build rn

[celest pagoda]

beautiful typecast challenge immediately got blueprint and rebate in the first shop then proceeded to get canio and an invisible joker

unfortunately hanged man kept refusing to hsow up and was only able to buff canio a few times

but i was getting plenty of chips with him barely buffed anyways

[vapid fox]

🫡

so much for 1 quick run before i sleep lol

[gentle finch]

thanks showman

[bold cargo]

Familiar naneinf when

[gentle finch]

should i sell dna for the cola

[compact gulch]

yuh

nah

if you have enough kings to get full eco out of golden ticket then you can sell it imo

which i think you do but i dont know your deck

[gentle finch]

golden ticket is negative so im like
free 8 dollars when i drop a high card yk

[compact gulch]

dawg what

[gentle finch]

yuh

[compact gulch]

are you trolling

[gentle finch]

sadly no
what you said flew over my head

[compact gulch]

if you play 5 red seal kings while copying golden ticket thats $120 per hand

fym $8 bruh

[gentle finch]

i'm playing high card that's why

[compact gulch]

its the strongest econ joker for baron mime

[gentle finch]

it is?

[compact gulch]

essentially yes

[gentle finch]

i figure i'd just copy mime after the fact

[compact gulch]

lets say you have 21 gold red seal kings

play flush five twice while copying golden ticket

then play a final high card

[gentle finch]

OH i understand

[compact gulch]

have you not been doing that

[gentle finch]

nah i've just been building my deck wit dna

[compact gulch]

well print some more kings with dna first until you can do that

negative golden ticket is extremely lucky

[gentle finch]

it is very very lucky yeah

i got like 26 golden kings rn so yeah i gotta keep it running

pause 37
so yeah i probably could start doing that in round or two

[gentle finch]

gotta love the choke point

[rustic iron]

Should I keep Fibonacci(28 viable cards across 2 main suits), take +10 Multi & +50 Chips(Foil), or Take flat +80 Chips??

[haughty bridge]

Skip tag saving

[torn gulch]

:D

[ripe moss]

that feeling when you need that one item that you have kept in your back closet in case of this specific situation

[sour ledge]

Doing a full skip tags run, do I skip this? Most legendaries scale or take time to activate and I'm pairing it.

I skip right?

(I alreday did

but-

What would you do?

[clever canopy]

R.I.P

[sour ledge]

Throwback on a full skip is crazy

Full skip ez

[ripe moss]

we love a good throwback in this house

[sour ledge]

Yep

:3

5x

Time for a no-shop run!

Using... aneglyph again lolz

These kinds of runs are where it shines.

Having 8 pairs makes it look like i won with one pair per round lmao

[lost spire]

Obelisk great 👍

I played like 12 two pairs and it's enough to juggle around from full house, pair, and high cards

Now i understand how to play Obelisk

[sour ledge]

I better not fumble this shopless run now

[sour ledge]

I hate obelisk but I use it, S tier joker

YOOO that's like the most perfect joker for a full skip

[lost spire]

I don't understand how to utilize it's maximum capability

[sour ledge]

Errr

[lost spire]

Until now

[sour ledge]

not full ski\

no shop

fair

[lost spire]

I just need to play a reliable hand like 12 times and just juggle around 2 or 3 actual target hand

[lost spire]

I bet getting throwback will end this run

[sour ledge]

Nah

Not drawing a full house

killed the rin

run*

I couldn't get anything from the skips 😭

[boreal kelp]

game discussion channel is on fire, can someone explain to me how my score calc is giving me a range of values instead of a guaranteed score? the queen's aren't lucky and I don't think I'm missing anything?

[sour ledge]

ughm

i'm not sure

[boreal kelp]

it's weird right?

i assume just a bug?

[sour ledge]

idk

I'm realllyyyyy tryna figure it out

odk

idk

prolly bug

[boreal kelp]

yeah okay it's bugged, it's doing that for every hand

weird, never seen that before

[native ferry]

Also one question

Oop- wrong server

[frozen gazelle]

is the calculate score button a mod?

[quiet coyote]

yes

[slender steeple]

silly canio

[leaden radish]

yo what do i do with this floating ankh

[royal cedar]

golden needle

this is my first time with both of them together

[scenic lodge]

Poly chad + photo first shop and later dna + blueprint + brainstorm within first 5 rolls in another shop

[worldly silo]

3 blueprint Barron, couldn't find a mime at all I got cucked 😭😭😭

[west valve]

go menu maybe?

[eager yacht]

catch it before it flys away

[violet chasm]

How do we feel about photophotophotochad

[violet chasm]

Trans soul card is so fire

[sour ledge]

necroposter

/j

but

i love da mod

damn

wasn't that far back

[violet chasm]

That bio is relatable asf

Lmao

[slate rapids]

dont forget about the crypto wallet you got on the side

[spiral hemlock]

Do I take him

I don't have glass or lucky going

[karmic berry]

what ill should do now

[violet chasm]

That's kinda nutty

[karmic berry]

ik

idk what to do

[slate canyon]

maybe sell ancient idk

[karmic berry]

bruhhh

i only roll once

:C

[slate canyon]

top 3 balatro ragebait moments

[karmic berry]

fr

[plucky cave]

😭😭😭

what do i sell

[oblique lintel]

2 of 4? Is this a glitch?

[lavish star]

Oops all 6’s

[simple sun]

Delete ancient, get blueprint, copy Chad

[oblique lintel]

Does that mean the Wheel harder? 🤣

[burnt sage]

Scuffed picture but what do I do here?

Oh shoot the other joker was sick and buskin

But idk if I can take bc I lose dna

Or lose extra money

Here is deck

[dark mist]

I got a few PBs the other day that I’m proud of! been in this server a while but never posted 🙂

In the first one I forgot to check the boss blind 😭

[dark mist]

Drop the To the Moon for the sock! you’ll be fine on money

especially with those gold seals

[burnt sage]

Yeah

I hope I don’t sell this one

Has solid potential

I just need to fix the deck

[dark mist]

yep

[oblique lintel]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

I get rich with the Bull

[burnt sage]

Ok, got deck to this point.

At some point I’m scared that the gold seal is gonna kill me so should I try to transition to red seal? Have a Déjà vu and got negative dna and have showman also.

I have double hexed chad and negative dna and photo and sock and buskin and showman for anyone who didn’t see earlier

[sour ledge]

how... rare is this?

WHAT THE owejifniwejrfn

MORE NINES

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[small gate]

Nice, wound be cool to add a Cloud Nine if you can.

[sour ledge]

first use of it lolz

What

dude

tf is this seed

[oblique lintel]

[sour ledge]

wat

[brisk forum]

😢

[sour ledge]

this is

why

you

play

PAIR

:3

[brisk forum]

😭

[vague drift]

losing

this is quite possibly the worst buffoon pack I have opened in my history of balatro

[slim musk]

at least you get 2 dollars back?

[karmic sundial]

I was looking for a Barron for so long. It’s so over 💔

[burnt sage]

Managed to get red seal polychrome mult jack. Duped once already.

[shadow crest]

i love anaglyph deck

17 jokers 🏔️

[cyan warren]

chat i need to know if i should get the invis here and over what i dont want to throw but that thing feels like the devil every time i get it

[vestal schooner]

yorick will fall off pretty quick compared to baron / mime

and mail in rebate is a common so it'll come back if you do find out you need more money

I personally would sell yorick then mail in rebate before selling invis

[violet chasm]

If you quickly close the game and reopen it'll rollback a few seconds

So you can see what it lands on and work around it

[cyan warren]

yeah that's what i figured, thx
