never got to pay it off
Yeah I got shop two eternal stencil
Then I rolled and got ank with brainstorm
Just got the tribulet
how much does it score?
cuz those stencils are like 32x
5 kings/queens net another 32 * 32
so 32^3
x32768 mult
where are you getting 32x for the stencils?
2^5 = 32
they are 5x each
wait
5^5
ur so right
3125x
3200000x mult
should i just go all in on idol
im still just looking for a single blueprint or brainstorm, but those just dont exist
tbh i have time, ill just skip on it
I couldn't find enough tarots to get enough glass
rip
now this is interesting
im already getting e20, but 2 idols do alot of work
should i swap idol for baron?
since its ante 12 i dont think i want to leave showman just yet
ill skip it too and wait for mime
finally, it took 13 antes, 43 rounds, to fine ONE
best ecto gamble ever
ok
wait nvm i litterally just bought anti matter
i also forgot i had ecto
lmao
nat negative gold ticket???
no
i usually only take sixth sense during early game to remove 6s from my deck
guys
with dna and vamp, does dna copy the enhancement or not
Should I take baron?
pretty sure it will if the DNA is first in joker lineup
pretty good baron/mine run
Put one Blueprint on the Baron for optimal acore
5 triggers of 2 things that give 1.5
or 4 triggers of 3 things that give 1.5
When and how do you suggest using anaglyph deck's skip tags?
Red stake and scoring way over so far. Do I take it
"Keep winning or die" ass option
Jumpscare
So I found a bean before the ante 23 boss blind. And I found a burglar in the ante 24 shop and decided to get it early for serpent burglar since I have an extra slot. Then I realized.
Newb question: Triboulet or Blackboard?
Blackboard giving x3 one time, triboulet x2 for every king/queen played, so, triboulet
So Blueprint should also Copy Triboulet?
Yes
Yeah
Try to find sock and buskin
It will help you
definitely trib
crimson bean op
5 xmult cards holy white stakes run
imagine bootstraps 🫡
so pretty
rip my ante 30 trib-accelerator run
nat blue print. nice
is the dna any good now?
PS: Hate that I didnt even get director's cut, let alone retcon for the unseeded naneinf try.
replace brainstorm yeah
Hmmmm. Could you elaborate how? like the math. I want to understand ts better
more hand size is scoring, too
and having more cards is always nice if they're all the right kind of card
I mean, I'd love a few more steel without looking for death, but wont this hurt the score, or is this pretty much the same
i'm pretty sure it's more score just from having more cards in hand
Hmmm I see.
by copying the dna with the bp's
and then copying baron after next hand twice and one bp on mime
ur score will be higher
Ya ya got it thanks fellas
Got 3 more e than previously. We pray for a nat neg brainstorm now
and if you want naninf you need more cards in deck. dna does that best too
couldve been a fire run
Oh that aint happening, no retcon
do i go for it? if yes, what do i sell
eh not going for it ig. What could I even want, trib, rick, canio is out of question- chicot: not useful rn, would need an invis,too late
perkeo: dont have observatory
oh god and now a nat blueprint
ts crazy
Your soul ig
fair enough
finally made idol work
do i take anything here
six sevennnn
i- what the hell
Do you want to play PVP Balatro?
(Without the mod)
Its simple, we decide a seed, deck, time limit and stake, and we try to score the best hand possible in the first 8 antes (Restarts allowed) . Then we send screen pics of the YOU WIN!/GAME OVER screen to eachothers DM (before the time limit) and see who wins.
guys this is painful what do i do
Get the spectral :3
nothing in there
Sad
should i sell burnt for burger
yeah 100%
I'd be down
hour late pretty much but its just open spectral and if u dont get ecto go next
if u do get ecto later u wouldnt need showman for brainstorm so its easier to find
or anti-matter
Might have just had the most ridiculously stupid run on gold stake I've ever had. Double Polychrome Troubadour with a Ouija to create a 5oak 6s build 😭
sure
what is the optimal baron and mime placement here
i should copy mime when i have a mostly steel deck maybe?
yea probably
weird start but i can work with this
active invis and found brain
lost all my econ, i think i got scammed
why did you ankh square
this is a 4oak run with so many levels
square does literally nothing here
basically
it's only good for like hc/pair or like maybe, in some rare edge case, 3oak?
it was invis
and because funny
that run also had perkeo for a while before it was knifed
what did you copy, mars or death
mars and justice
square joker is the meta
what should i do?
im basically cooked
im thinking i have to let go of baron for heart stone
atleast i get 50chips plus heart flush
i only have 5 kings, im going to rip baron
just barely
Insane run
why why and why are you going for idol in ante 8
gold stake idol pretty much requires chad/some tarot generator
but its funny when it works
exactly
it always works
nvm, didnt pray hard enough
idol always hits
i really tried, its over
should i take the sock and buskin? im on purple stake ante 7
X2 once is better than 1.6x but idk honestly.
ok thanks
seems like a good run so far
Why the hell does your game look like... that
define "that" and i might tell you
Saturated
texture pack i made
Green dolares
- trance mod
Beautiful
of my cooking as well
Incredible
thank you human
Immaculate
Was the deck by you too?
all you see on screen
Absolutely gorgeous on a real note
Android :(
sadge
Pc's fucked, no moded balala
BUT
Cant stop me from appreciating good art
ANYTHING but ai slop
lol ty
Its incredible, have a WONDERFUL evening
all i did just trace over it and add aa, different colors and gradients lol
ty, you too
Doesnt make it any less gorgeous
ty !
elite pack over here
what would you guys say? im new, thinking photograph is the way but all my econ is coming from that one joker
probably trading card here
gamble?
its gonna be canio
nah, chicot would go so hard here
its never trib
tbh i dont even need trib
yeah itd just be another idol
ill swap drunkard anyways
sells drunkard gets yorick
whatd i say
atleast i got 10 dollars
yea ghost deck
foil satellite, baseball, cert, holo, sixth, neg constellation, who i sell for brainstorm
running 2 pair red deck
yeah ykw holo's at 12x why would i need cert
yea
that was not a hard decision i feel dumb
nah ur good
wouldn’t sixth go here
because cert is an uncommon and sixth isn’t (edit, i am wrong sixth is uncommon please ignore my stupidity)
sixth is uncommon tho right?
ggs, ante 14
you’re right that’s my bad, i thought i was a common
WTF
that is no standard pack, that thing is on steroids
idk about this
currently max out at e26, so i have barely enough time for invis
i just skipped on it
holy, saved by showman, sadly had to let him go, ectoed and it chose blueprint
Do you think I'll win or lose?
(31x5x2+20x5x2+40) x ((4+4x5x2)x3x1.5 )
so yea probably
approx 108900
with no full house levels
how much did it score?
the thing is... im really cooked
just made my entire hand glass, wish me luck
insane
also INSANE invis save
its over
crazy
Nebula gold staked! 6/15 gold stakes! Anaglyph next!
all my glass died to make it
ecto???
jk jk
if only that antimatter voucher came i couldve made it another ante
Beginner here Is this a good setup for ante 2?
nah, ur missing photo chad
Damn
also, wheres rick
bruh im losing too much glass rn, theres no way im making it next ante
omg
omg
im saved
nat negative is crazy
altho im running out of glass
im really low on poly glass
ggs, i cant reach e59
gg
also, 666 cards played
pairless #13 (52/150)
missed my draw but saved by foil. never had the chance to deckfix bc of the rentals
nice standard pack
I have the COTL skin on my deck
I usually lose around Ante 6
Trying to win my first run 
At least my second run was a lot better
Fair
The thing is when I play I aim for ante 16 plus, which makes me make really dumb decisions like two eternal idols before ante 4
💀 💀
finally done with gold stake ghost deck
i think i would
lower chance of finding value in your deck for 3 more turns to find stuff for your joker slots
but also it's lower chance of finding value in your deck per ante, but you have an extra ante to do it
i think if i take hieroglyph, it's pretty rare for me not to take petroglyph
if offered
ill trust the extra ante is good
RIFFRAFF JUST GAVE ME HANGING CHAD????
too bad i’m on plasma deck
AND A SOUL ON THE SAME RUN????
oooh yorick
I22GMARR
i forgot where everything was tho
itd be funny to hit either brainstorm or stencil but i only get like 150k if i do that
then again thats per hand with a good setup
alternative is ectoplasm so i have room for another joker while keeping stencil useful
or wraith gambling but meh
yooo i js got my first ever E after two weeks
I got telescope 4 antes in a row(i sadly dont have footage)
I dont belieb yo
102 handsize using crimson bean (95 without bean and troubadour, 97 if I had vouchers)
farming handsize in ante 16 was nerve racking asf
sigh
is THIS immolate worth it? i only have 1 other blueseal and nothing else
i wanna say no but god i think its way too strong for its own good :P
wish it was destroy 5 for $10
im just gonna immo and hope it hits all hearts
okay it hit both purple and blue
not ideal but workable
dont be bear (skip to 0:55)

oh i didnt read. you got bear'd
pairless #14 (53/150), rotating streak: 2
the plasma run was mostly a formality after runner shortcut blueseal
redseal glass or redseal lucky
flush is level 7 and not stopping
since nobody is deciding for me ill just do lucky redseal
i dont need it now but xmult IS xmult and campfire is a strong one at that
im gonna risk replacing boots for it and buying the tarot merchant
Hey matador was finally useful once in my life
I got a matador first shop followed by ankh with a blind i could use it on
free net $45 woohoo
Still a very underwhelming joker that cant even work on half of the boss blinds but i have finally seen a cool use case
its great every so often and a waste of space otherwise
Probably too late but this is gold stake when campfire is at its best because rental jokers are free scaling
i lost the run because selling bootstraps wasnt the play
Wait a god damn minute
Theres a mod that changes the internal structure of how numbers are stored in the game allowing for way higher scores than e308
Wait a minute even with that mod how do you get to ante 88 in 36 rounds
Im sus
Its a glitch in vanilla Balatro
Oh wait is this the mr bones glitch that corrupts your save file?
Yeah lol
I exited to the main menu and went back into the game and it just put me in ante 88
I don’t see Mr bones in my top jokers tho
Its like you need to reduce your hand size to 0 while having mr bones or something
I know its a condition youd never get realistically so despite corrupting your save itd likely never happen unless you force it
You just need to discard all the cards in your deck
I just happened to see photochad in the very next shop which I found kinda funny
Thats it no cards not 0 hand size
It doesnt corrupt your save file
the video i saw on it had his save file corrupted after the fact
my first blue stake run lmao (found a blueprint later on)
Lil calm fatty cat
its never done that to me
Trying to beat my first run, so i'm reposting this here from another server:
These are the only 3 things I was able to find in terms of hints on beating your first run in Balatro (or just winning in general):
- Start with either Blue Deck or Yellow Deck
- Mult is more important than Chips
- Have your build established by Ante 3
If anyone has any other tips or suggestions, feel free to tell me here or in DM's 
idk endless lol
guessing its not time yet
idol only makes sense when literally the entire deck is of one rank and suit
oh i see, i'll dm you with some tips, i like to teach/coach people on balala 
Ok cool
3 joker win
I have 2 chads, lucky, neg bloodstone, brainstorm, photo, do I sell a chad for an idol for flush 5 build with horrible deck fixing?
idol is never worth is it if your deckfixing isnt already ready for it if you rely on it for score and its a 40% chance to not hit your flush five card then its a 40% you lost the run so the question is how many antes can you survive if you pretended you didnt haveidol and is that enough to fix your deck completely
im currently learning that lesson and answering that question now
the answer was 2 more antes
theres a lot of jokers that have the allure of potential that you need to remember you need to survive to see said potential
my lucky cards didn't proc in my entire run then in Crimson heart procs twice with crimson heart debuffing Lucky cat
so cool
Can all 5 Legendary Jokers save you?
yep
wdym?
the only "meh" legendary is trib overall
A run where you collect all 5 Legendary Jokers as your jokers
trib is one of the more broken ones
nope
trib forces you to play queens/kings and also is the only legendary with a counter
theres a seed for that i forget what it is but has 5 soul cards in the first few antes
ALEEB
ain't no way
Chicot is a good one
I played this seed
? sure plant but it synergizes with photochad is practically idol that works with 8 cards instead of 1 and isnt rng dependant if your deck isnt 1 card type
that can't be a real seed (a seed needs 8 digits to works)
It is real
"photochad" 🥀
other legendaries like Canio or Yoricks works in any builds
Trib FORCES you to play faces
which can be inconsistent sometimes
chicot is a non scoring card that takes up a jokerslot and is onyl useful on some antes and most of the time does nothing you need multiple taking up multiple joker slots to do somethign benefitial its literally the meme legendary
The only Legendary Joker I would use is the one that disables Boss Blinds
the idea of chicot is the fact that you can literally play anything and don't be worried about strong bosses like mega blinds or the needle
that's why chicot is great
you can literally play anything
by the cost of -1 joker slot
im not saying its bad but its not legendary joker good its rare joker good
son 😭
if chicot was a rare it would be easily the best passive joker in the game
peak
am i tripping theres memes about how bad chicot is top balatro players legit say waste of a soul card when he shows up
boss blinds on average are not bad very few are actually painful and if you find them theres cards like luchador and vouchers like directors cut to do the same effect as chicot for the 1 blind it matters
most of balatro memes are literally just new players opinions, like baron being the best joker in the game because it naneinf which is a really stupid take or the idea of Obelisk being a bad joker
then explain why top players dont like chicot much
like im talking players who also call out baron and perkeo for being bad early game and mainly useful in their end game builds
but chicot is consistent, if you try to play face card builds most of the time you'll be fucked up by most of bosses like the plant, VV, The wall, Crimson Heart, Needle, etc.
also you can't just rely on just 1 of the 16 vouchers in the game lmao, or luchador which is literally uncommon and is 1/150 jokers
luchador is too rare to rely on, same with directors cut.
id say 1 out of every 4 bosses actually impacts your run and strategy thats 1 out of 12 rounds realistically and if you are playing right you can reroll for luchador when those show up because you should be focusing econ in the early game
the amount of econ you would need to get luchador, on average, is insane.
you are not getting that much econ in 99% of runs
obviusly if you have a director's cut voucher you can sell chicot, but that doesn't mean that is bad lol
econ is the name of the game rerolling the shop is very powerful luchador is a common he shows up frequently enough as long as you dont buy the merchant vouchers that arent even good
luchador is uncommon
what are u yapping 🥀
i meant to write uncommon i was typing too fast
so you rather rely in 1 specific uncommon joker instead of just hold a chicot
alternatively you can just know what your hand scores, how the boss affects that, and adjust your deck to beat that boss
^^^^
exactly theres very few blind you even need to disable
if needle is a struggle like thats the big one you mentioned your build was weak and chicot is making it weaker
I think a lot of those can also be resolved by just checking the boss blind at the start of the ante and using 3 rounds to build around it
you need to reroll ~350 times on average to find a specific uncommon, that is not happening in most runs.
And/or get the needed tarot cards
finally some people with sense i swear these guys calling chicot the best legendary and trib the worst was driving me insane
trib is the worst, chicot is not the best
the best is Yorick 
Trib is decent if you get it early enough right?
trib is literally a consistent idol build
Just not near the end when you already have a build
i am not saying its bad, im saying its the worst legendary
basically, if you get it with a already made build that isn't retrigger is not going to score
that doesnt make it not the worst.
its vulnerable to a lot of boss blinds, and relies on on-score which means you need decent deckfixing and levels
"the plant is comming"
again 1 boss blind its weak to out of 23 you are acting like this is horrible when a ton of jokers have 1 specific boss blind they are weak too
its not just one boss blind
plant is something like 5/16 runs. earlier is less bad, later is more likely to have boss deactivation
yeah, if you don't have retriggers and/or average planet level trib doesn't score that well
needle, water, pillar, leaf, plant
all heavily hinder trib
the plant does such for any face card build but so does the goad for spade flush build
and sometimes Crimson heart with bad luck
i stand by if needle is a struggle that meant your build was bad no legendary stands on its own as winning any run it all depends on build
trib just has a lot of good synergy with builds
what
yorick does as well
its the least versatile legendary
the list of "good synergies":
Photochad
Photograph
Sock&Buskin
Sock&buskin with photochad :D
needle is the same as wall, except you have 3 less hands to dig for a hand that scores way more. needle is quite a hard boss.
while legendaries like Canio and yoricks works in 99% of the builds
you are acting like the only other strats is to put flat mult jokers combine it with more xmult jokers because you are already multiplying in the hand stage and deckfixing its not that hard to pivot to king and queen full house you dont need to pivot to flush 5 kings with it
it is quite difficult when you take into account eternals, levels, other jokers, etc
you cant just pivot whenever you want to
id argue you shouldnt be taking an eternal if its not final build worthy
wrong
early game eternals are absolutely worth it sometimes. taking an eternal summit/abstract/half, etc are all very good takes
to get to the end of the game you have to actually survive every other ante, and anything that lets you survive longer is something worth considering.
id argue depends def if the only option is eternals i will take a consitent flat mult like abstract but taking eternals without consideration leads to hodge podge builds that cannot scale past ante 5
worst case a legendary is a 3 round old egg. almost always worth taking early, not many things in packs are worth that much
sure, but a lot of builds cant just pivot because of those eternals
especially ones that you said you should take; if you have a joker that you took because you intended to keep it for your final build, as an eternal, you cant just pivot out of that and you likely wouldnt want to even if it wasnt eternal
again this isnt about whether its good, its about trib being the worst of the legendaries
helo
builds can usually survive one or two eternals taken just to survive early antes
they will often die when you skip bc it's eternal
Is paredolia worth?
Think this could be my first ever naninf what do I need to keep in mind so I don't mess up and is there anything I still need to do?
do I get DNA here? if so what should I copy?
I'm gonna surf & turf this bih into the ground unless you give me 4 of dem vouchers 👁️ 👄 👁️ /ref
Hi forks 🍴
try to get an ecto but other than that just make sure you have enough red seal steel kings and find a burgler after like ante 24 i think
What does the burglar do for me?
gives you more hands against serpent
chat important turning point
do I take it
i have red seal lucky king and red seal glass queen
square at 204, red card at 39
Awesome
it all worked out. i saw gros michel and had to get it across the finish line
Done with painted deck
the serpent
also make sure to copy DNA first hand
cuz duhh
woah photochad beat the plant
Chad on Plasma with levels from Space Joker really saved me
chat I think it's over
I had to sell all econ just to get out of this ante alive
HOLD THE PHONE
I GOT BLUEPRINT
I don't even know if it improves my situation though
royally fricked up, wasnt paying attention
just great
pairless streak ends at 2, back to the mines. trying to setup bus late a3 on green was probably a mistake
pairless no loses is actually possible???
i don't see any ways besides straights and maybe two pairs
realistically my winrate is not high enough bc of misplays probably
but i think better players than i should be able to manage
straights/two pair/hc is the meta
hc? you mean pair
hc is only made for minmax
the pairless meta
ohhh i see
my winrate from my lastest file is 43%, so bad!
i need to learn how to win early rounds
there's a few jokers than are markedly worse, like half joker and obelisk
takable here on a regular pair run and winning
useless on pairless if you stacked hc and tricky if you stacked 2p or straight
i think mine is above 50 but it's not enough, even at 80%, once past black and plasma, still only 5% chance of completing gsg
has to be 90% to reach 25% shot of completing gsg
yep, you need to learn really well how to play with the stickers specially in early antes
i need to see more John Balatro (balatro university)
should i sell something for cartomancer? trying to set up for an idol
SO CLOSE
Thanks Showman very cool
oh i might cry
what is this seed 😭
Hey so I was wondering because im new to the game. How do you get better at the game? Do you just play snd hope you get lucky?
use your justice and use a glass card
should win I think
just put all copies in chad
just play more
genuinely i sucked too
but the more i play i fianlly got e numbers not too long ago felt great
ahh crap didnt think of that
I see okay thanks for the input dude
watch youtube too like balatro university
see how they play there is plenty of optimisations to learn too
🤑🤑🤑
kinda wanted to double tag negative but oh well
wow very useful thanks wof
should i pivot or is it too late
i have tribe left as my only joker, what deck would be best suit for fishing for it specifically?
im split between yellow deck for econ boost and anaglyph rare skips
I like the anaglyph idea but idk if it's the best
I would do the anaglyph deck if I was in your situation
kid named free win
grimbo rebate gg
got needled before i could find xmult 😞
I really need to like explore with runs
Like I always play the same thing like flushes full houses
I just gotta see what the game gives me and then go from there
i took the bait and.???
We ball
The dopamine rush I got from seeing that shop
Do you remember what got triggered
Kinda, there is a DNA in there fucking everything up
How many bp/bs do you have
4
3
If you can find the baron and move it to the left you’re probably chilling
If you remember where you saw the x1.5 triggering from
what is the best order for this? both canio are at 23x
Ik the baron is in the second slot rn
And the first slot is non-bp I assume?
I think it is bp actually
Imma have to savescrub it
pls
It was e12 in the shuffled order lmao
ok hang on
ty
right now that. get a mime, copy baron, canio is done
Each baron is 1.5^7 at most without red seals so canio is better
i see
yeah i’m looking for one
After you get a mime or some red seals, baron is much better to copy
yeah its canio rn
ty
gl
Gl
ive just been playing balatro while watching yt, just realized its been 2-3 hours and im on ante 24
holy i might be my HS
?
also im literally running out of cards that i have to add standard cards and death for more glass, idk what im even doing rn
?
?
?
happens
ideal amount of cards is 5 x number of hands you have
atleast since i popped an ecto, found showman, swapped for a new blueprint, ive got maybe 1 or 2 more antes
ive watched doc naneinf but rn i'm like, how tf is this shit possible lmao, i need more everything
lk ong i forgot that's how you're supposed to do it. get boss reroll and then serpent until you die
im soo cooked
i just realized i dont even have the first voucher fml
rip o7
actually you might be cooked unless you find it
i had to let go of ride the bus, if i lose, this is why
i litterally have too many hands to burn to get dusk active
but litterally running out of cards to play
😭
horrible feeling fr fr
turns out i have two antes to find showman and another copy on 0 econ, or both boss vouchers somehow
actually im so cooked rn
i get e80 with one glass, but the issue is i litterally have 14 cards left
🙏
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!!!!!! this NATURAL NEGATIVE SCHOLAR will save me
sly joker better carry
crazy
i also had that in my current run
i was actually considering to switch to aces until i found socks
nah, misplay of the century
3 glass wouldve been enough
damg that was a really good run
i was so close to beating my HS
My laptop died. I'll lose tomorrow lmao
actually peaked
thx
hey, i'm new here and not sure if this is the right channel for this but i have a question about which joker to sell to take the blueprint. these are my current jokers and this is my deck. I've also included my hands and blind info in case that's relevant. Is there some kind of logic I can apply to know what to sell in future without having to do too much thinking?
i dont think the lusty joker is helping you too much
in general you always take blueprint or brainstorm just because
yeah okay, ill swap out lusty for the blueprint, thanks
real
heart
joker
oh ok wow so my scoring is so much higher with blueprint on the photograph lol
Should I risk it with misprint or keep my jokers as is?
you should copy the bloodstone* to have potentially 4 bloodstone hits instead of 3 max from copying dusk
assuming you dont play at least uhhh 2 glass cards
Money money money
I can never tell how to retrigger most efficiently
thanks
yeaahhh so instead of copy dusk:
bloodstone
*retrigger
bloodstone
*retrigger
bloodstone
you could copy bloodstone and get:
bloodstone
bloodstone
*retrigger
bloodstone
bloodstone
on most situation where you have 1 main thing (bloodstone, idol, photogra,etc) and one retrigger (chad, hack, sock, etc) and one BP/BS, you would almost always want to copy the scoring joker for maximum score
but if youre good with the scoring and want to greed by gold seal or lucky cards etc, you could copy the retrigger instead
Ok i will remember that
Do I need 1 more joker to naneinf? How do I get it? Sell brainstorm for showman?
Or I gotta roll ecto
I got retcon, so we reroll for serpent
I can still beat the current ante without brainstorm
nvm I think this is the play, right? I could still sell the brainstorm to buy double tag sodas or hope for nat neg brainstorm i guess
and spend double tags on spectral pack
Ohhh I haven't even got antimatter yet
you need antimatter
Do I need another blueprint or brainstorm tho?
Will just 2 blue + 1 brain make enough hands with buglar?
i just sell the invisible joker or should i sell the other jokers to get another copy of brainstorm
Wait until there is a joker in the shop or booster pack that brainstorm can copy to beat the blind
Then sell the other cards, sell invis, buy the strong card for brainstorm to copy
yeah but the invisible joker ability is ready what joker i copy
im sorry i disnt undertand
You can keep invis for a few rounds if necessary
ok
That abstract joker might be strong enough tho
so u saying i have to find a strong joker compatible with brainstorm and then sell the others joker with the invis to get a copy of the strong one or brainstorm?
will be +9 +9 +9
to get a copy of brainstorm, and only buy the strong one after duping brainstorm
so now i take abstract and then sell scary face and hallucination and the invis one?
oh ok
How strong was the previous blind?
will +27 mult be enough? probably
nice, good luck
thanks bro
what joker should i sell to take hanging?
because you get more points
damn I lost, didn't roll antimatter
I could've rolled until serpent for that ante and hoped for antimatter on 24 tho
Still wondering whether 3 blue/brains (with multiple mimes and barons) as my 7 jokers is okay. Or whether I need 4 blues/brains (or even 5) for burglar to make enough hands
Bam
hi hello, i'm new here and in balatro (3hrs) and i don't really know where to go from here. i have pretty good x mult but not that much +mult and have been wondering if i should switch up anything (my main idea currently would be either ancient for flushes) or photograph and hope for chad, i do also have some money to reroll in case anything but i have no idea where to take this run, what should i do from here?
This build already looks pretty good
No need to change anything except your joker placement
Move Cavendish all the way to the right
🗣️
so this?
i mean right now it doesn't make any difference as you only have xmult
you should be copying dna when using it and then baron for the remaining hands
ditto with that
i think im getting a good idea how to get a build in this game
now just get as many retrigger jokers as possible and play flush five of queens or kings
😈
Guys I'm a bit.. screwed.
we got bigger fish to fry
we got bigger balls to scratch bro is your computer in pibby or sum ✌️
what do i do here
lost the hang 🙁 but won with it tho and a lot of stuff
no overstock gaming
better proof
Behold: my largest dagger in gold stake
That dagger licking its lips at the +2 mult from bp
I just got it last ante too (I’m obviously dead here)
best run yet damn.
run with blueprint, mine, baron, lucky cat at 11.5x and wee joker at 1200 chips 🫡
"imma do a chill run idrc abt winning"
Its Good?
is baron better than trib here.
depends on your deck
and maybe planet levels
baron by itself kinda sucks
youll need mime pretty soon and red seal steel kings
the boss blind disabled hearts so i had to sell a heartstone for the luchador in the shop
i got so lucky with that lucha
got a sock tho later in the run
the nat negatives are insane
also yes, idol on a basically unchanged deck
it always hits
idol is just a worse version of photograph here i feel like lol
Photochad ❌
Idolchad ⭕
okay so turns out skipping spectral pack on anaglyph is a pretty good idea
got like 3 immolates and enough enhancements to get drivers online
is trib better than baron here (i was away for a bit so im reasking)
baron is better for the long haul if the deck is set up for it
iirc non-observatory trib runs cap out at like e40s?
maybe a bit higher
e80 on plasma. maybe a bit higher (poly glass). you need 7 more copy jokers for observatory ante 39, 14 more for trib ante 39
i got like 50% red seal kings with the deaths and perkeo for deck fixing
i would pivot to baron
k
also this seed is funny i got the soul in im pretty sure the first arcana pack after the perkeo
w pivot
im assuming sell a perkeo for it?
should i take the cat? if so for what? also please explain i am trying to learn :))
square is at 116 btw
im pretty sure the square but not sure
depends on the hand and levels on it but i would replace square
ive been mostly playing 4 of a kind or 2 pair
but they are both low enough thaty i can pivot
personally i will ALWAYS take the cat
thats my bestie
i recommend along with lucky cat get that justice as well and start deckfixing of glass and lucky face cards
it will be helpful to get some additional xmult specifically since you don't have oops all sixes yet
ill see how it goes, thx for the help, you explaining your though process really helps alot
Just finished Ante 8 of the only reliable straight flush build I've ever cobbled together. It's pretty satisfying.
lol I left a YouTube video on the screen
U N F L A P P A B L E
Help me to find strategy
Isn't this guy who lightstrike his dowg
Dumbest person ever
nice blackboard
I FINALLY BEAT GOLD STAKE
chat yall rockin with the pre hand submit flames on ante 9? personally i never seen anything quite like it lol
lvl32 5oak goes crazy
found baron and invis but im like dead ante 13. the deck is like perfect albeit i couldnt get more than like 1 red seal glass 9
Bean is refusing to show up lmao
Gold stake why must you hurt me so
Theoretically speaking
What are the chances the next reroll has an actual dice
Tried to see if i could make it to ante 8 skipping. Blinds
Boss rerolled into kill confirm
sold my showman but mail in rebate is still double??
is it a bug? am I missing anything?
yes, its a bug
you took the first rebate when you had showman
which allows rebate to spawn again even without showman
holy hell
What is this run 💀
Anaglyph high card to level 7 in ante 2 and then ecto'd stencil lmao
Five planet merchants offered without a single retcon ggs 🙄
In my personal opinion the game would be better if planet merchant was deleted from existence
Only good with constellation and a clog otherwise
times i want to see less jokers: approx 0
Mochi-mochi
Hellooo
Gutten tag
Buongiorno
Yeah uhh how exactly the sixth sense work? Like, do you destroy the joke or do you destroy the card?
You play a 6, the sixth sense destroy it
The card
was originally gonna inquire abt this but i won
now im at this decision whether i want dna or not
Aight thx
My pleasure
You do get more sell value at the cost of money
so far i have had:
- nat negative clown jonkler (forgot his name)
- rerolled into a brainstorm
- rerolled into a The Family right after brainstorm, with a mars beside it
- rerolled into a Ancient joker (was alr hitting my best one, diamonds)
- rerolled into a DNA
- used a second wof, hitting ancient joker making it foil
this is like my very first run in vanilla in well over 4 months
bro i genuinely bought the blank voucher last ante
wait im too smart
i ankh the showman
obviosuly correct
now all i need is a nat negative burglar and 25000 dollars
and like
more luck
lwk fr this time
do i take brainstorm
or
reroll till blueprint
brainstorm is fine
you can get away with 2 more brainstorms than blueprints in endless runs i think
what is this game tryna give me
The
okay but i feel like this is too many brainstorms
eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i lwk dunno and i did read ur message buh like
FUHHHHHHHH
I FORGOT TO REROLL UNTIL SERPENT
wait nvm i still won 💔
mail in value
ig
Damn dint know Jimbo had a sister
dies in ante 5
Something wrong with ur brainstorm bro
cuz u got no econ
ik
daily unseeded naneinf attempt
never rerolled blue or brain, after having showman for like 200 shops 🙁
Is there any way to show you my jokers, vouchers, deck, once the game over screen already opened?
sold troubadour for rebate since my money got low, didn't quite score enough... I reckon just one more blueprint or brain, even invis (never saw invis whole game), I could've finished the naneinf
never saw the voucher tag either, luckily got antimatter early, but only one boss reroll... that's enough double tags to get every voucher tho
how often do you hit naninf?
Haven't managed it yet after 5 days but getting super close. Got unlucky today I think
is dna worth it here? if so what should i replace with it
Yes all (except for 3) of these negatives are nat negatives
gad damn
Yeah no blues or brains in shop really, at least that's validating that I did all I could
If I had showman for Ante 18, apparently could've found one, but that's not very reasonable
And literally NOT A SINGLE INVIS
Looking at you like the green goblin mask
Do I risk the run for some Crimson Bean glitch come ups? I assumed I’d sell brainstorm. I can get to crimson with a +3 on bean.
I’ve never done bean glitch before. I basically get to crimson, and hope it hits on bean, then go to main menu and back in, and it’s permanent?
Yes (to the question on how it works)
Might be better to double skip though if you wanna do the bean glitch
It is a waste of the double tags but if you pull off the glitch successfully, you’ll be able to survive without paintbrush / palette. Maybe even without antimatter for a while
That is, if it does hit the bean. If it doesn’t the run might be cooked
Yeah this is why I didn’t want to waste em
If you find a burglar and copy it, you can get way more hands to run the glitch on. And the extra hand size (assuming sufficient luck) will make up for the temporary lost jokers
Been waiting for a voucher tag
Is this your first naneinf
I’ve been trying for a while, yup
Hmm
I keep getting so close, but missing 1 puzzle piece every time
I don’t know how exactly the naneinf odds would compare between doing the bean glitch with +3, skipping and doing it with +5, or not doing it at all
buy arcana for soul, get trib, sell trib for blueprint
Probably +3 is safe assuming your deck is pretty well fixed
Yeah ur chilling lmao
lol
looks like you're gonna need showman and/or invis soon too for one* more blueprint/brain
If you end up finding a burglar as well, I would just go all in on the bean glitch and skip to ante 16
Yes I do. But I was waiting for antimatter
So what do you suggest I sell? Brainstorm and DNA if I hit burglar too?
The odds of not hitting bean once in 12 hands is quite low
Lowkey
I saw some guide somewhere said you can sell mime
It’s a gamble since you lose if you don’t hit bean
But if you sell dna and mime, you can get 3 extra hands for the glitch
I worry about scoring after I hit bean without Mime tho
With 15 hands you have almost 2.5 bean hits in expectation
The extra size should sustain you until you find another mime unless you get really unlucky
dont sell mime
Basically rn with 3 barons 2 mimes you get 3*4=12 triggers of x1.5 per red gold card
Hmmm
If you put three copy jokers on baron with no mime, you’ll get 4*2=8 triggers of x1.5 per red gold card
just sell dna, you don't even need it after you have 50 steels, or close enough and get the rest with tarot
So +50% hand size will give you the same score as before
Yeah def dna first
His point is DNA and mime to copy burglar more times
Instead of DNA and brainstorm
Just running the risk of getting cooked if you get bad rolls with the boss
Oh wait I miscalculated it’s 18 hands with 3 copies on burglar cause 4 burglars
hmm good luck
Still about 3 hits
I mean, right now, def sell DNA first, then spend maybe a few hundred trying to get burglar.
See what happens? Sell Mime if I hit on burglar, go all in on bean glitch
I think that sounds good
If you don’t find burglar this shop you could roll a bit for it next shop too
Yeah if I’m going all in, may as well skip twice
As well as just before the boss blind (in this case it’s only +3 per hit but you also don’t waste the double tags)
I plan on skipping
If I go all in lol
Cuz then paintbrushes are negligible, and antimatter can wait
Hmmmmm, I’m not sure
Skip twice without burglar still definitely maximizes ante 39 odds. Idk about naneinf odds lol
I think if you just want naneinf you probably only wanna skip if you find the burglar
Naneinf is my goal for sure
And anti 24 is impossible without the perfect set up if you don’t have bean glitch
You can pass ante 24 with dna or a bean (non-glitch)
If you found antimatter and an ectoplasm beforehand (and one or both hand size vouchers I forgot how many were needed)
And all red steel kings
And I’m tired of getting cucked by either not getting antimatter/a paintbrush, a copy joker not showing up, or getting past ante 24 then burglar not showing up and going broke lol
Right but you NEED 4 copy jokers and full steel kings.
Yeah
I keep ending up missing 1 thing
Or rather you just need your hand to have full steel
And running out of time or money
You don’t need your entire deck steel
You have extra time for that before you go for the naneinf
Do you use rebate for money
If I have the room I will
It usually gives more per round than gold cards
So I try to hold onto it for as long as possible while my jokers still score enough to win
But if I’m stocked up on mime/baron/DNA/copy jokers, I won’t take it
