#Battle Royale: The House
rose nexus
fist every day
plain thunder
raised fist easily
assuming worst case for every single joker (this is you only joker, no planets, no tarots, etc)
raised fist can clutch
hybrid cove
even with best case for abstract it might still be fist tbh
plain thunder
hack doesn't do enough, abstarct would be my second choice with other jokers, splash is third house, luchador barely helps
solemn orchid
yeah
lilac solstice
Raised Fist has a more potential to oneshot the boss, compared to other jokers, so, I vote for it
plain thunder
maybe next time we could have a case where "you already have X joker and you have Y in your hand"
now pick Z joker
solemn orchid
if it said what ante it was I might pick hack incase we happen to have glass cards or something like that
plain thunder
if it said what ante it was I might pick hack incase we happen to have glass car...
your on ante 2
plain thunder
i personally still would go with raised fist tbh
solemn orchid
I mean if it was like ante 4 then you aint winning with just raised fist
plain thunder
since with raised fist you can just pick your 5 lowest value cards and get good value outta that
sleek mortar
If you don't have any other jokers then raised fist is the only winning move
Unless you already have some JUICED low cards for hack to trigger
So definitely feels like this prompt needs a liiiil more context
solemn orchid
ye
sleek mortar
I mean it's less a matter of "hey how did we do this jokerless" and more like "what's our margin for error here?"
Is this a CONTINUATION of the previous challenge?
Because that one started ante 1
So if this is the "same run" then we have half joker currently
sleek mortar
You're right yeh
plain thunder
im assuming you dont have planets or tarots
rose nexus
also one new joker somewhat implies you already have a joker
plain thunder
problem is we don't know what that joker is
primal hatch
that's sort of the point, at least from my perspective from doing these. It's very much open for interpretation, designed to encourage discussion
what kind of context would make it work better, do you think?
plain thunder
like hand levels or tarots, and other jokers
I do think the first poll was better because there was an actual decision there, it was much closer
this one isn't exactly close
primal hatch
fair, I think the point is people do different things though. so one persons tarot choices are different to another? I don't want to be too prescriptive and allow you all the freedom to think about how you'd do it
yeah Raised Fist has this locked in!
plain thunder
🤔 that is a good point and there could be a mix between the two
primal hatch
I have a range of different Battle Royales, some like this, some very different. I'm intrigued to see how each one sparks conversation
plain thunder
personally I like to go with "assuming worst case, how could I win from here"
primal hatch
mmmm interesting!
hybrid cove
if i assume that i've already found sufficient +mult tempo to get me to the ante 2 boss blind then i could maybe see an argument against taking another +mult like raised fist
but a) raised fist will probably be better than whatever +mult i have on account of being like a top 3 tempo joker and b) none of the other options really provide any long term value that would be worth passing up a little more immediate scoring for
plain thunder
like maybe luchador clutches some other boss
hybrid cove
i think luchador is hype with baseball card but that's pretty specific
plain thunder
and we might not have that
