Full houses were my most played hand, ~17 times.

At the final boss (crimson heart), I played a decent full house but only got 3000 points. I looked at my stats and my full house was downgraded back to level 1 (previously was probably around 10 or something.)

I unfortunately don't have a screenshot but here's what I remember doing before:

I beat the last boss and then skipped the next two blinds
One of the blind reroll changed the boss which was the high value blind one instead (purple I think.)
The jokers I remember having: Gros Michel, Hallucination, Oops! All 6s, Abstract joker, Gift card, Throwback. Most of them were holographic or had effects like negative etc.
I think I sold something like a fibbonaci before but didn't seem like it should matter
I had just grabbed a second +1 discard voucher

Im assuming you have never downloaded mods or anything?

#

And then also there is a boss blind that lowers the level of the hand you play, but from what you are saying it wouldnt matter much since you went down around 9 levels and you didnt have that many hands

Does it lower it permanently every time?

#

Yes

#

oh dang, let me find it. That seems more plausible than anything so far

void terrace Nov 1, 2024, 4:57 AM

#

Thats the only thing in the game that lowers hand levels so it must be that ig

limpid beacon Nov 1, 2024, 4:58 AM

#

yeah I asked in chat if anything like that existed but no one knew, so I figured maybe it was a bug or weird interaction

void terrace Nov 1, 2024, 4:58 AM

#

Just idk how you would lower it that many times, especially with your setup

#

What was the deck?

limpid beacon Nov 1, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

green deck

#

I did play more hands than expected on the previous boss, which might have been the one that lowered hand rank

#

but I feel like it wouldn't have been enough to go back all the way to 1

^

#

Thats my thoughts also

#

Did you get all the levels from double tags —> orbital or was it just planet levels throughout the game?

limpid beacon Nov 1, 2024, 5:02 AM

#

I think mostly planet but I did use orbital, it might have been a double tags -> orbital but not sure

void terrace Nov 1, 2024, 5:03 AM

#

Then maybe it was a weird bug with orbital tag before that boss? I dont know Im grasping at straws and its 1 AM

#

haha yeah. It's something I can try to reproduce at least. But since I don't have a screenshot/clips it's possible I'm missing an important detail

#

but the boss that lowers rank makes a lot of sense, I missed that it was permanent so I wasn't too worried when I was playing until I had to use all my hands haha.

Anyways, I'm cool with closing this/marking not a bug. I'll still try to reproduce it though, just in case.

#

thanks, appreciate the help!

#

I still think its a bug if you think you had that many hands

#

But I need to sleep so its better for my mental health this way 😂

#

Np

#

im suspecting you played a flush house by mistake on the boss where you lost the run

void terrace Nov 2, 2024, 12:05 AM

#

Thats also a possibility, but they said they checked their level before and after and they had lvl 10ish and went to level one

#

even if they accidentally played a flouse instead of a regular fouse the hand leavels would still have changed unless that miss-saw that as well twice
