#Odd vs. Even
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Odd Todd is a lot better after his buff to included aces, but early even Steven really lets you coast for a few antes
I feel like even Steven is better early and odd Todd is better midgame/later since you end up needing chips more
I forgot that Stevens gives mult, not chips
Yea I agree, Stevens is great early, but when you need chips later todd is the go to
Would be nice if there was a discord bot that gave you info on jokers that you forgot the effects about
I've just been using the wiki https://balatro.wiki/Jokers
not a primary source ofc but its convenient
theoretically someone could make a bot that pulls the info from the wiki, that's what is done in the Isaac server
harder to buff chips so todd is always welcome
Oo, nice wiki, thanks
Odd Todd is better in my opinion because adding chips is a lot more valuable later on
Also he adds a lot more chips than even Steven adds mult
Like even Steven is pretty mediocre to bad in the late game but Todd is still very strong
i could not possibly choose
Please keep the votes odd and even respectively
ODD TODD 💙
Odd todd pog
Bro even the sprite looks sick
Sure even Steven has only 2 of the 3 sides on his hat, but odd todd has 1 side
Not only that, odd todd is winking, leaving 1 eye open and one eye closed, both of which are odd numbers
Also, todd is missing a ball off of his neck ruff, leaving only THREE left
And finally odd todd just looks a bit strange
What’s a synonym of strange? ODD
I rest my case
don't call todd odd or steven will get even
It's funny that this poll is so **even ** when that represent the community being at **odds **on this topic
🥁
The way I feel it comes down to two things:
-> How much you value Aces over 9s (Scholar comes to mind, so does Sigil giving you two aces, and them just being worth slightly more than 9s)
-> Do you think mult or chips are easier to get
1 is a clear point for Todd being better. 2, I'd say also goes for Todd? Early game you have more chips than mult but the longer the game goes the more I feel it skews towards mult > chips
Even Steven is better early on but Odd Todd both gives what you want late-game, is easier to build around and has better buildarounds (Scholar compared to 8 ball)
I'm with Todd on this one, tbfh
there are some select people who would disagree that 8-ball is worth less than scholar
I value Scholar absurdly high, to be honest. For a build to work it needs both a source of chips and multiplier, and Scholar gives both
Scholar is one of the best buildarounds in the game. If you were to ask me to pick between Odd Todd, Even Steven or Scholar in the first shop, I would take Scholar always
Probably chips are easier to get, at like a 4:1 ratio of chips to mult
Is it? What good chips jokers are out there? We have odd todd, ice cream and scholar (who also gives mult) but other than that everything else is very meh
i'd say it's closer to 7:1, but yeah the issue is finding chips jokers you actually want, since they seem rarer than mult
We gotta keep even steven at an even number of votes
Not very many chips jokers, just mainly chips from cards and poker hand bonuses
But more importantly, we gotta keep odd todd at an odd number of votes
odd todd my goat
i have removed my vote for this - which i see as a valuable mission
Voted for both just to make it even for odd and odd for even 🔥
:( i have to vote for even and not odd to keep even odd & odd odd
I find it very interesting how initially it was Even Steven winning with a good lead but now Odd Todd has closed the gap by a lot
Another consideration for Odd Todd - Fibonnachi (+4 mult for every Ace, 2, 3s, 5s and 8s) synergizes much better with Odd Todd than with Even Steven due to having more odd targets and giving mult since you want mixed economy of both chips and mult
for me odd todd is just odd😅
i like even numbers
and in this game, even numbered cards have more chips than odd numbered cards
EvErY bIt CoUnTs
odd cards have more chips though
how
how are they worth less?
sum of odd card values is 34, sum of even values is 30
6.8 avg vs 6
10+8+6+4+2=30 9+7+5+3+1=25
aces are 10
for even steven?
nope
bruh...
lol
ace is hight card of 10 chips, higher than king, but it can be used as 1 for straight and as odd ranked number for joker
yep
