#

Yeah he's effectively 'solved' the game at this point, for all intents and purposes.

#

Pretty sure he was one of the original beta players who gave feedback on balance

barren urchin
#

He was yeah

#

To quote him if you see a number in the game he’s discussed it with Localthunk

worldly arrow
#

last MLB performance was something else and I still dont understand the lines he was taking and how they could work so well

#

like in hindsight yes but at the moment some decisions felt really off

#

but they more often paid off than not

barren urchin
#

Well everything he says makes sense to me; I’ve always compared it to how grandmaster chess moves ā€œmake senseā€ and seem obvious when they’re explained, but playing them yourself is significantly harder

cosmic elbow
#

yeah I'd say I'm generally very good at balatro but holy crap the MLB stuff is humbling šŸ˜…

barren urchin
#

MLB?

bold cargo

Should I take omen globe here or save my money?

I could get a driver's license or blackboard for additional xmult

#

Acrobat at a push

#

Hmm what about loyalty card

barren urchin
#

Your last 10 bucks would be used to buy your savior not find it I think

cosmic elbow
#

if you're a mad lad you could technically plan around the loyalty card, but it's tough

bold cargo
#

Then I beat this boss blind and skip to the final ante 8 boss

worldly arrow
#

you could always get ecto with speculative stencil

barren urchin
#

So imo you take the globe and decide your win condition based on the specs you get

Can probably synergize with loyalty card too

is it possible to gold stake plasma with chips

worldly arrow
#

yes

cosmic elbow
barren urchin
#

Wee of course

cosmic elbow
#

It's a pain in the butt sometimes

next plover
#

what you need luck?

worldly arrow
#

its the right way to play plasma

barren urchin
bold cargo
#

You're kidding....

cosmic elbow
#

My gold stake plasma I think I had bull, gift card, blueprint, vouchers for arcana and just rerolled for the temperance. Great setup

bold cargo

I should have stuck with my original plan

cosmic elbow

#

By less than 1000 points

cosmic elbow

I'm surprised it didn't work :(

bold cargo

rip that's a sad way to go out

Or I should have stuck with my original plan

barren urchin
bold cargo
#

Of skipping to boss for loyalty card

#

With my 20 pair levels

barren urchin

idk, this is narrow enough to have been one high card/pair level

#

Very sad

barren urchin

Yup

bold cargo
#

Wow

#

I wasn't to know though was I

barren urchin
#

It’s how it is

cosmic elbow
#

If I'd just asked that cute girl at the supermarket...

bold cargo
#

It's how it's

barren urchin
#

What was the boss though

cosmic elbow
#

yeah, shame but you'll be back on your feet!

barren urchin
#

Maybe retcon was the mistake egg

bold cargo
#

Bell

#

Would have been fine

bold cargo
#

Since my econ was online by that time

cosmic elbow
#

Bell disabled my Mr bones once when I was in dire need of the calcium.

bold cargo
#

Also because I had card sharp, a somewhat vulnerable joker

bold cargo
#

Bell forces 1 card to always be selected

cosmic elbow
bold cargo
#

Well, we run it back I guess

cosmic elbow
#

I wish you a guaranteed ante 1 blueprint+ photochad šŸ’Ŗ

That I can't afford

And tons of suprise econ

hell yeah, it's gonna happen

fickle bramble
#

Hey, one more thing tho, how many red kings before I drop this DNA?

next plover
#

dawg

#

these are the type of runs i need in my life

fickle bramble
pearl void
#

Wait

#

Am I tripping

worldly arrow
fickle bramble
#

When I get

worldly arrow
#

well you will most likely need dna for at least ante 24

fickle bramble
next plover
#

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

IT WAS ALMOST PERFECT

pearl void
#

You need 44 red steel kings held in hand for naneinf (assuming 4 copy jokers)

#

so 45 cards total in your hand

pearl void
#

After ecto and both handsize vouchers, you’ll have handsize 9

#

So you need to play 18 hands with serpent (play one, draw 3 so gain 2 size every time)

#

Which will use up 54 cards from your deck

fickle bramble
#

Hmm oki, think I'm just gonna pop the invis and hope it hits something good

pearl void
#

If you don’t get the second handsize voucher, you can make it work by playing 19 hands and having 65 in your deck

next plover
#

does luchador work on the wall?

fickle bramble
#

Cause I kinda need the things

pearl void
next plover
#

does it goes lower the blind?

pearl void
worldly arrow
#

you are gonna need like 12 red steel kings in your hand to beat ante 24 iirc

#

with baron mime 4 copies

pearl void
#

You can win the round by selling luchador instead of playing a hand

fickle bramble
pearl void
#

Yeah lowkey once I discovered it I can’t go back to normal invis popping

#

Stay clean a little longer before turning to the dark side

worldly arrow
#

psst hey kid wanna hear about the bean bug

#

also posting my greatest roll here too

fickle bramble
barren urchin
worldly arrow
#

gold stake endless?

barren urchin
#

Casual Gold stake

worldly arrow
#

I value my handsize more than an extra joker slot

barren urchin
#

I guess that’s cheesing stickers maybe

worldly arrow
#

oh stickers I just did with anaglyph

barren urchin
pearl void
#

I almost got my first c++ without savescumming

barren urchin
pearl void
#

Then I accidentally scored a face card with ride the bus on my last gold sticker run and quickly closed the Balatro app

#

And then I was addicted

barren urchin
#

I like anaglyph but I don’t want to spend my whole sticker grind on it

worldly arrow
#

its hard enough to fill 5 joker slots on gs with jokers that im not willing to give up unless you get forced to take way too many eternals

fickle bramble
#

I didn't pay attention:(

#

Think I'm just dead

pearl void
#

Oopsies

fickle bramble
#

Noooo

coral fable
#

the plant claims yet another victim

fickle bramble
#

I shouldve rolled harder XD

#

I didn't know 😭😭😭

pearl void
#

The odds of finding luchador with $535 aren’t great anyway

coral fable
#

i could also sell the negative luchador šŸ¤”

#

he's somewhere in there trust

fickle bramble
worldly arrow
fickle bramble
#

I got rid of all my purple

fickle bramble
worldly arrow
#

if u are planning on naneinf, its literally the most important one

worldly arrow
#

also white stake plasma you dont need to spend money on any jokers really until like ante 3/4, even 5 if u get some planet cards

coral fable
#

i just had to reroll the serpent like 6 times before finding a burglar because i was smart enough to think maybe if i take planet tycoon tarot tycoon and magic trick ill find antimatter before i run outta money

#

i was lucky

worldly arrow
#

I start my plasma naneinf runs with just getting econ jokers

coral fable
#

although i went down from 2k to 565 money i got a lucky burglar

worldly arrow
#

I wont even pick up a baron if I see it before ive beaten ante 8

fickle bramble
worldly arrow
#

its just a waste of a good joker slot that could be used for money

fickle bramble
#

I thought it'd come back

worldly arrow
fickle bramble
#

Uuuhhhh

fickle bramble
#

Foil mystic a baffoon, and an arcana If I remember right

worldly arrow
#

only few things worth buying on ante 1 plasma (white stake) if ur going for naneinf, buffoon packs you skip 100%, arcana too

pearl void
#

You can naneinf without antimatter or handsize vouchers if you bean bug

#

You can’t naneinf without retcon

#

Unless you get extremely lucky

#

And get a natural serpent

fickle bramble
#

For a first try wasn't bad. We learned a thing.

pearl void
#

Yeah

worldly arrow
pearl void
#

I think it took me like 4 tries

pearl void
#

Or paintbrush but less preferred

fickle bramble
#

I just usually zone and watch (insert streamer here) do it without really thinking about all the nuance of EVERY decision

worldly arrow
#

investment tag skip + directors cut on ante 1 is a great start

fickle bramble
#

So I had an idea of what do, but not everything

pearl void
#

Yeah

coral fable
#

e222

#

im gonna need the brainstorm omfg

pearl void
#

After that you get a feel for it

coral fable
#

how am i gonna find a brainstorm with both tycoons and magic trick and virtually no econ

worldly arrow
fickle bramble
coral fable
#

steven do something 😭

#

antimatter

worldly arrow
#

the thing is with plasma white stake, you can play in a way to guarantee you get naneinf pretty much every run which is why I like it

#

getting gold stake naneinf is horrible

pearl void
coral fable
#

hm

#

you MIGHT be onto something there..

drowsy fractal
#

ante 1 blank and ante 2 antimater

fickle bramble
pearl void
#

I managed to get naneinf 3 games in a row before I fucked up (due to being stupid not due to vouchers)

worldly arrow
next plover
#

how do i beat orange stake plasma

worldly arrow
#

of course you can get super unlucky and get the worst rng

#

but I feel like you can easily streak multiple naneinfs on plasma white

#

not sure if its possible to play in a way that its 100% guaranteed, probably not

pearl void
fickle bramble
next plover
#

I try that

#

but then fail

pearl void
#

Hella more chips :)

#

Or xmult

next plover
#

I have this potential photochad cooking

#

so maybe

pearl void
#

If the voucher tag doesn’t appear late game its purely down to random vouchers

#

Aka the game spamming you with planet merchants that you couldn’t give a rat’s ass about

fickle bramble
#

The good thing about this is IK its my fault and I threw the run, unlike when I play league šŸ™‚

barren urchin
#

I feel like that’s dubious even with hologram

worldly arrow
#

if you get directors cut on ante 1 then if you play correctly and dont get plant -> psychic roll then I dont see how you couldnt just bruteforce any seed to naneinf

pearl void
#

Planet tycoon is 32 weight

barren urchin
#

Getting rid of a voucher is hardly an angle for getting that voucher

pearl void
#

For naneinfing it is

barren urchin
#

I get what you mean but you know what I mean

pearl void
#

Vouchers are often the roadblock assuming you have enough Econ to roll for jokers

fickle bramble
#

Means you only gotta see vouchers what 24 times if you buy every one?

pearl void
pearl void
barren urchin
#

Is there a ante 10 angle for magic trick/illusion

fickle bramble
pearl void
#

And you need retcon, antimatter, and paintbrush by ante 24

#

Palette preferred but not absolutely necessary

next plover
#

is arrowhead with support enough to beat gold plasma

fickle bramble
pearl void
#

Yes

harsh socket
#

more chips better

pearl void
#

Depends how much support ig

barren urchin
#

Hanging Chad support or dusk support

pearl void
#

You need about 900 chips per hand

fickle bramble
#

Spade flushes, and Chad or sock or hack or fib

#

Maybe a blue

pearl void
#

To score 800k in 4 hands

barren urchin
#

Hierophant stocks

next plover
#

found my supprt

#

we don't question how much luck was involved

cosmic elbow
#

Arrowhead feels like a common for me, I roll it so much.
Meanwhile the glass joker feels like a damn legendary. I never see it.

next plover
#

if i get dusk

next plover
#

im going to do something

cosmic elbow
#

But f the glass joker for being so elusive

fickle bramble
#

I think glass was actually the last joker I unlocked

next plover
#

what do you guys think of smear joker

#

I like it but alot of people don't

cosmic elbow
#

My Balatro conspiracy is glass's appearance odds are set to rare lol

fickle bramble
coral fable

i was one voucher tag away from getting another naninf smh

cosmic elbow
fickle bramble
#

Make blackboard good, maybe not so much in plasma

coral fable
#

damn you antimatter what is it with you and ante 32

fickle bramble

But consistent flushes

Royal flush builds are so classy

With no blockers?

pearl void
cosmic elbow
#

Ahhhhhh

#

man I am so bad at intuition statistical probabilities

barren urchin
#

Oh I see. A given uncommon is rarer than a given rare, uncommons in general are more common than rares in general

#

That’s actually so interesting. I never realized how small the rare pool is in the context of the shop, just for wraith and stuff

#

Now I get to be extra mad when a bloodstone appears after I pass an oops

pearl void
#

I think in the shop, individual rares are still rarer

#

But they’re easier to use blockers or wraith on

next plover
#

wat

barren urchin
#

Its a soup card alright

#

I’m not correcting that typo

cosmic elbow
next plover
#

OMGMMG

barren urchin

no its not the legendary pull

its the fact i got dusk

fickle bramble

#

i got perkeo

cosmic elbow
#

holy shit Perkeo on plasma can be insane if you get a bull, egg or gift card and a temperance

barren urchin
next plover
#

how

worldly arrow
#

easier to just get a planet card

fickle bramble
#

Or, hear me out, observatory jupiter

barren urchin
cosmic elbow
next plover
#

that dusk helped

barren urchin
fickle bramble
#

But honestly even just a hermit every turn Is fine

worldly arrow
#

hermit + bull is barely better than a saturn card

ancient stirrup
worldly arrow
#

like just using the saturn card and gaining +30 chips on it

next plover
cosmic elbow
#

Perkeo has so many interesting opportunities so just go for whatever you feel like. I prefer trying out cool theories rather than safe tested methods but that's my idea of fun

what is dis seed

#

Ankh for double chicot surely

next plover
#

you cursed it

barren urchin
#

I’m just the messenger

#

The universe speaks to all of us, I just listen

worldly arrow
# next plover

chicot might be the best for you depending on what your hand levels are

ancient stirrup
#

hence the death by a thousand cuts

worldly arrow
#

well I guess trib too would blast through if u just get full house kings queens

barren urchin
#

My only point is that grimbo is easier to pivot out or away from

ancient stirrup
barren urchin
#

No but discarding too much and crashing your bus are BOTH skill issues

next plover
#

im selling the perkeo o7

worldly arrow
barren urchin
#

mechanically speaking, if bus doesn’t work out it’s like being on the bus from that movie where there’s a bomb on the speedometer

worldly arrow
#

perkeo is actually kinda bad, especially if ur just going for ante 8

#

well, not bad but its not that much better than chicot

#

9/10 times id rather take chicot for gold stake than perkeo

#

but perkeo do be fun

barren urchin
#

The way I see it, grimbo lets you pay for discards with hands from previous antes

cosmic elbow
ancient stirrup
barren urchin
#

A different way to look at it is that I like an eternal bus more than I like an eternal grimbo

next plover
#

I doubled my score

barren urchin
next plover
#

still not enough i think if final boss is 1m

cosmic elbow
ancient stirrup
barren urchin
#

Bus points a gun to its head if you pick up a sock or something. Grimbo wags its finger if you pick up a rebate

worldly arrow
ancient stirrup
#

ya bus locks you out from sock, but plant is already pointing the gun, u just cant see it yet

next plover
#

died, all spades disabled

cosmic elbow
#

I haven't crashed my bus ever since I realised you can play face cards with it and a pair of numbers. Shit is so easy

barren urchin
worldly arrow
#

just do pants

barren urchin
#

You don’t wanna ever get off the bus. You basically CANT ruin a grimbo

ancient stirrup
cosmic elbow
barren urchin
#

This isn’t a conversation about crashing the bus. If a player crashes bus it’s the player misplaying

cosmic elbow
#

so what is the conversation then lol

barren urchin
#

Getting off the bus is a mistake like 9 times out of 10. Prospective face card builds aren’t a thing you should dump bus for

cosmic elbow
#

Okay yes that is true. If I'm playing up to ante 8 however I usually commit hard and early to all sorts of crazy builds so it's an excellent cornerstone for me

barren urchin
#

So you DONT. that’s the correct okay, but it’s an actual restriction on your pivot potential

worldly arrow
#

that is why you never get on the bus, same as you never bow down to the obelisk

#

and you do not invite grimbo to the party he just whines when you throw away trash

#

just put on pants

barren urchin
cosmic elbow
#

Obelisk is for people banned from casinos.
The real common man's enemy is flowerpot. Fuck flowerpot.

barren urchin
#

This doesn’t make grimbo better - if I could delete face cards or my discards I would delete face cards any day

ancient stirrup
#

giving up face card with scaling +mult is basically just giving up midas

scary, smiley become negligible
photochad is not needed with scaling mult
dusk sock is niche
parei can be ignored

barren urchin
#

But grimbo doesn’t delete face cards. So it’s not the actual ultimatum

worldly arrow
cosmic elbow
ancient stirrup
#

baron the worst xD

cosmic elbow
worldly arrow
barren urchin
#

Flowerpot is bad because it’s deckfix direction makes me miserable

worldly arrow
#

baron is bad without deck fixing

barren urchin
#

either you’re wildcarding all of one suit or you’re not touching suits at all

cosmic elbow
worldly arrow
#

you have to spend a lot of resources to make baron worth while

barren urchin
cosmic elbow
#

If you could make 2 wild cards at once it'd be better.
Even then, there's four suit bosses that will disable your xmult

#

So you're pretty screwed

barren urchin
#

It was bell and it debuffed the FUCKING acrobat on final hand but it was still cool

worldly arrow
cosmic elbow
#

I'm literally fool, what's your excuse?

worldly arrow
#

and that bad draw can happen in big blind

cosmic elbow
barren urchin
cosmic elbow
#

if flowerpot gave x4 mult like it should then it would be much more interesting

barren urchin
#

I still want a wildcard rework though.

worldly arrow
#

all flowerpot needs is splash to go with it

fickle bramble
#

Trying to not crash the bus is inconvenient and I like me a sock and faceless and photo

fickle bramble
worldly arrow
#

gotta water the plants

cosmic elbow
barren urchin
worldly arrow
#

skip photo just take chad for econ and chips

fickle bramble
#

I also like to shoot the moon

worldly arrow
#

now that is a bad joker

barren urchin
cosmic elbow
fickle bramble
cosmic elbow
#

crazy talk

worldly arrow
#

it has all the same issues that baron has but none of the upsides

cosmic elbow
#

L take, shoot the moon is my homie

fickle bramble
#

It isn't rare tho*

cosmic elbow
#

Common and required simple deck fixing for big mult. Great for ante 8 rubs

#

runs

barren urchin
barren urchin
#

Red seal scrounging

#

all these things and more, when you sell your shoot the moon for a Baron

cosmic elbow
#

red card is often the worst, it's an Econ sink

#

people start taking packs for no reason

#

Seen it on streams

barren urchin
#

Red card makes up for it by scaling so fast - I just hate having to use my brain in tarot packs and being a chipless loser in ante 6 with level 2 hands

cosmic elbow
#

Yeah it's okay if you know what you're doing but new players fall into the trap.

barren urchin
#

well that’s hardly the cards fault

#

imo

cosmic elbow
#

There's red card trap and flush trap as big newbie stumble blocks.

barren urchin
#

I also wouldn’t compare it to baron. Baron imo is the titular noob trap

cosmic elbow
barren urchin
#

That and I guess flushes

#

Does boot count as a noob trap

cosmic elbow
barren urchin
#

I guess both are those

#

Hm

cosmic elbow
barren urchin
#

That’s fair

cosmic elbow
#

Spare trousers also looks like a bad joker until you have played for a decent amount of time. Reverse-trap.

worldly arrow
#

its supernova on steroids

#

but for two pair only

cosmic elbow
#

I saw a streamer playing supernova with a high planet level straight build and I was very confused lmao

worldly arrow
#

two pair is second best to pairs imo for higher stakes

cosmic elbow
#

two pair is surprisingly consistent, but it's slow scaling means you need it's jokers for it to be good. Noob trap again.

#

Very well designed hand, probably my favourite

worldly arrow
#

if you get pants in first ante then that is your +mult solved

cosmic elbow
#

100%

worldly arrow
#

with supernova you usually go pairs and you have two killer bosses

#

you dont have that with pants

ancient stirrup
#

two pair without pants is pretty mid ya. but its usually better than 3oak

worldly arrow
#

ive never done a run committed to penus

ancient stirrup
#

the p is also right next to the v on my keyboard

cosmic elbow
#

the amount of idiotas in the steam reviews saying the game is shit because it is unbalanced for anything but flushes is hilarious

worldly arrow
#

if u are capable of doing 3oak then you are ready to do 4oak pretty soon anyways

#

only joker pushing you towards 3oak is maybe half joker but even that just is better for high card and pairs

ancient stirrup
#

but sometime "pretty soon" is too far away depending on your current setup. i do play 4oak more than 3oak tho

cosmic elbow
ancient stirrup
#

needed the holo and then the deckfix slowly worked its magic

cosmic elbow
#

Ohh that's a fun one!

ancient stirrup
#

yep šŸ™‚

worldly arrow
cosmic elbow
#

I actually love certificate joker. It's objectively an unhinged play style but I love the crazy nature of it

ancient stirrup
worldly arrow
#

certificate until blue seal then sell

ancient stirrup
#

cert as long as u can greed

cosmic elbow
#

You feel like a mad scientist if you make it work

#

I play with a reckless abandon and I've got Comp++ so I can vouch for it lol

worldly arrow
#

with certificate you are pretty much forced to do pairs or high card

#

and that is already a sad fact about many other jokers on high stakes

cosmic elbow
#

That's okay though, the fun of it is the silliness of all the seals. Sometimes it really works out

worldly arrow
#

if you really want to feel like a mad scientists try making straight flushes your main hand on gs

#

or just full house

cosmic elbow
#

Did it on the deck with 4 joker slots, the extra hand size makes it much more viable with some light deck fixing.

ripe frost

guys I think I need 1 single joker to cook this whole match

#

I need Pareidolia

next plover
#

what do i want to copy with my copy jokers

#

this is what I thought but idk

gray slate
#

I don't see any red seals so I'm gonna assume you have none

#

I also don't see polychrome, so I'm gonna assume none

#

Assuming a flush five of lucky cards

#

Your current config gives you x4 (sock + double photo) x4 (bs + dp) x16 (chad + dp) and (x1. 5)^17

#

Yeah this seems optimal

#

Although you should probably full copy sock for the first two hands

worldly arrow
#

expected value of bloodstone without oops is approximately never enough

#

Hey is blueprint incompatible with dagger

guys is this the correct copy position?

icy yarrow
#

i think just one more blueprint will increase your score

sharp kelp
sharp kelp
#

my top is around e101

#

when copying the trib

#

well copying more sock is the same right since it is 4 retrigs red seal and 3 socks and 5 scoring so it is even

#

ok copying sock is better after trying to copy trib 103 to 105

#

nat neg troubador would be so good right now..

bleak axle
sharp kelp
#

i did not take account for the glass help

bleak axle
#

1 natural trigger, 1 red seal, 1 sock =3 +3 copy jokers =6
2x from glass, 1 trib = 2 +4 copy jokers = 6

#

My math probably wrong doe

#

āœŒļø

sharp kelp
#

you are probably right lol

#

ggs

#

fun run

barren urchin
worldly arrow
#

0.5 (poly) + 1 (glass) + 5(trib+copy) = 6.5 | 1 (card) + 1(seal) + 3(sock+copy) = 5

#

balance it out by moving one more copy to sock so you get 5.5 mult 6 trigger

bleak axle
#

u right

can't have more basic start than that

do take baron or too early?

Probably one of the best ante 24 crimson bean setups I’ve gotten yet

deep notch
#

gaming

pearl void
#

Bruh it went from bean to troubadour three times

#

The third time I gaslit myself into thinking it could maybe still work so I went to the main menu and it cancelled the bean +5 😭

#

I didn’t think having a natural negative +2 handsize joker would be a liability

#

I think bean to troubadour removes 2 handsize post bean bug anyway so I only lost 3 extra handsize by going to the menu

#

But damn, that’s gonna cost me a chunk of my final money

#

Newb question: What do I need to do to get to e with this Setup? Unseeded black stake run

scenic lodge
#

Ill likely remove Smiley but damn good photochad run

#

Im on ante 6 btw

#

If only I was playing gold stake, I could have picked up a shit joker to get sticker

pearl void
#

Hmm petroglyph

#

The move is probably to skip it and hope it comes up again in ante 32 or 33 right

peak widget
#

How do I reach E with this?

livid jolt
#

that should be pretty close to e numbers if you play all glass

#

Do you have any tips on how to get there?

@deep notch thoughts on selling parking and rerolling to try to find a natural negative parking? šŸ˜‚

deep notch

never found one lol

Literally five seconds after I said that

Watch this fuck up my ante 32 bean bugging

#

Not sure if I should keep it ngl

deep notch
#

#

idk

pearl void
#

I think I just got insanely unlucky with nat neg troubadour

#

Hmmmm how stupid would it be to pop a 9th ecto with 27 hand size šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

#

Still on ante 27

#

Basically gambling on how much handsize I can get on ante 32

#

Lowkey fuck it extra serpent money

#

I have poly kings that I SO want to red seal

And I can ditch the seance now

AND I GOT DEJA VU BUT IT IS A BAD HAND

What’s lag scum

deep notch
#

game was lagging so bad that i got to reroll, see the shop items, and then close my game
and it hadn't saved the reroll so i got to take the negative skip and then get the thing i wanted as a negative
😭

I lowkey wanna try this tech now

just existing for more than like
ten minutes

pearl void
#

My current run started as a round 121 attempt so I kinda wanna follow through with that

#

But I’ll stockpile colas next run lol

deep notch
#

it was somewhat unintentional but i was curious if it worked
and it did

pearl void
#

Do you think it’s more cheating to use a seed analyzer or to savescum via file backup

deep notch
#

at that point it's just a seeded run qwq

pearl void
#

Lmao

deep notch
#

what i did is mildly questionable but at least it's only one shop reroll

bold cargo
#

What if negative skip told you exactly what the negative would land on? I.e. the next base edition joker in the shop

pearl void
#

Yeah fair

deep notch
#

and you gotta save scum, of a sort anyway, to do bean glitch

pearl void
#

Bruh I’m still pissed at the troubadour lol

#

I went -2 -2 -5 from it

Thanks Asgore!

What ante 32 setup do you usually use btw

deep notch

-# "usually" as if i get it often lol

Lol

this is what i had tho

#

sold my non-negative BPs and my burglar once i went in

pearl void
#

Holy shit

#

I was gonna aim for 9 copies 3 beans

deep notch
#

i went for "as many beans as possible without spending way too much money"

pearl void
#

Debating whether to sell the negative juggler

#

Probably better to

#

Oh wait

deep notch
#

no idea but it'd make your life easier later on if you have one less joker to move around
LOL

pearl void
#

It’s only -1 if it lands on juggler after a bean nvm

#

I just have to not be stupid enough to exit to the main menu after it happens

deep notch
#

i don't thiink that's how it works but i could be wrong

pearl void
#

Iirc going from bean to troubadour went from 55/55 to 55/53

#

Then I went to the menu and it became 50/50 😭😭😭

#

Idk what happened

deep notch
#

pain

pearl void
#

Maybe im just remembering wrong

#

Btw do you know if winning the round with a bean disabled undoes the glitch if you don’t sell it

#

I think I might’ve done that too on round 24 šŸ‘€

#

I know once you play a hand and the debuff moves off the bean the handsize is permanent

#

I gotta test this stuff out on my backup after I’m done with the run

using flushes... Would you swap fortune teller for card sharp? or something else?

tardy palm
#

what is fortune teller at

ripe thunder
#

+19, same as my supernova

tardy palm
#

is your deck mostly spades

ripe thunder
#

ye pretty much

tardy palm
#

what is your flush level at

ripe thunder
#

19

tardy palm

i get the feeling you might be able to win from this position but i want to be sure

ripe thunder
#

Oh I suck, I've played flush 19 times it's level 9

tardy palm
#

ok selling burnt joker for card sharp wins

#

what is the boss blind

#

LOL

#

nevermind

ripe thunder
#

Sorry man lol

#

I actually had card sharp initially but sold it for burnt joker

#

dude just keeps reappearing like fate though

tardy palm
#

{35 + (15 * 8)} + [4 + (2 * 8)]
{155} x [20]
{455} x [73]

#

still wins against violet vessel if you play a flush that contains spades on every hand

#

it's probably still a good idea to scale more

ripe thunder
#

hmm Is that with current or with sharp swapped in over burnt?

tardy palm
#

but it 2-shots the other big bosses

#

sharp swapped with burnt

ripe thunder
#

makes sense, I know sharp is better but was hoping to ride the burnt scaling for a bit

#

should probably just swap it and make the setup "safe" and just use the other stuff to gain power though

tardy palm
#

you can still scale by spamming tarots

ripe thunder
#

ye and I have good money at this point you are correct

#

have telescope so hand upgrades aren't rare

tardy palm
#

I actually considered selling the spade +mult joker i forgot the name but I think this works out better? would have to calculate for that too

#

because selling it would be -50 chips

#

and -15 mult

ripe thunder
#

oh yeah I hadn't even considered that it's capped at +15 so already obsolete other than the chips

#

I probably don't need the chips tbh due to arrowhead and if I kept burnt I'd keep leveling up flush so more base chips

tardy palm
#

yeah true

#

also 4 discards would make up for the loss with burnt

ripe thunder
#

yeah its not really been an issue so far

tardy palm
#

still beats the boss blind I think

#

at ante 6 with no sharp

#

at the end you'll face either a 100k boss with a gimmick or 300k with no gimmick

ripe thunder
#

I think your idea is right I'm gonna swap wrathful for sharp, the 3X is gonna be bigger than the +mult when it counts and its not like wrathful is scaling

tardy palm
#

I just realized I worried over Potential Needle and Eye over nothing

ripe thunder
#

damn you are looking out I forgot about needle I think I'd clear it still hopefully it doesnt come up

tardy palm
#

how much of your deck is spades

#

I see 42 cards so you'll see, with 4 discards, Your Hand Size + 20 Cards

ripe thunder
#

29 counting wilds

tardy palm
#

that's 13 non-spades in deck

#

yeah that's a guaranteed win

#

assuming 8 hand size

ripe thunder
#

-1 actually due to ectoplasm, assuming 8 is the default

tardy palm
#

27 cards seen before having to play

#

I'm probably overthinking this at this point

#

I should sleep

#

I do think it's a 100% chance of winning

ripe thunder
#

I see where you're going but if that scenario is the fear I think I'm good

tardy palm
#

If you topdeck all the non-spades you discard them and you get spades

ripe thunder
#

yeah at least enough for one flush and that should be all I need to win or draw more

tardy palm
#

having more discards means you don't need to deckfix as hard for bigger hands

#

it's nice

ripe thunder
#

I'll find a way to lose, it's my signature 🤌

@deep notch how tf did you get 4.7 lmao

(ik the answer is probably just better bean bugging)

I only managed to get three rounds of bean bug, and they weren't super great

#

i rolled to $500 per roll and only found one bean before ante 32 lol

#

probably gonna just reset if I don't bean on ante 8 next time cause it takes so long late game

and save heiro/petro for extra finisher bosses to hit 6 bean bug rounds
