Flood (Rare)

[viscid socket]

Every played flush adds a 0.5x mult to this joker. Resets at end of ante

[autumn pivot]

thats waaaaay too fast

[sonic meadow]

I mean like you get 3× mult out of this, max on the normal 4 hands

Considering how bad hit the road is, this can't be all that powerful.

[muted sleet]

Does it need to contain a flush or does it have to be a flush?

Tbh, this feels not worthy of being rare. The Tribe is a much better joker than this imo

[viscid socket]

contains

[muted sleet]

Except for when you face the boss blind but that’s about it

I guess it is a good counter to suit disabling bosses

Still feels oddly similar to the tribe but I could see it being a thing

[clever cobalt]

Tribe is 2x right

[muted sleet]

Yes

[clever cobalt]

Because if. Then 2 flushes make this the same

And anything after makes it better

Plus you don't have to play flushes

[muted sleet]

Oh I didn’t even think of that

It’s not worth of being rare… it’s worthy of being legendary

[clever cobalt]

This is flush up better acrobat

If you have 4 hands

[sonic meadow]

And you are willing to run a flush build with jupiter planet scaling.

A worthy sacrifice for a better acrobat.

[fallow bloom]

So just tribe but busted?

Why have this when we have tribe?

[clever cobalt]

That's what I said

[sonic meadow]

This one does force further consistency though, you need to be able to play enough flushes to ramp it up.

You need to play 4 flushes in a round before it overtakes The Tribe in terms of total score.

[fallow bloom]

Yeah and? I’m a flush player and checkered deck with this will go crazy.

[clever cobalt]

2 flushes is already on part with tribe. Kinda
Tribe is 2x twice
and
This is 1.5x and 2x
But after 3 flushes it's slightly behind and after 4 it's better.
That's in an ante.

[sonic meadow]

It takes 3 flushes for them to even out and on the 4th, Flood surpasses the tribe, I don't know what you mean by in an ante, this resets at the end of the round.

[clever cobalt]

End of ante it says that.
3 flushes is 8x with tribe and 7.5x with flood

[sonic meadow]

Ah, I read the end of round, end of ante is busted.

[sonic meadow]

3 flushes means 3 separate hands, those add up, ×2 + ×2 + ×2, they don't multiply by each other.

[clever cobalt]

Exactly

[sonic meadow]

×6 for both after 3 flushes

[clever cobalt]

No

2x2x2 = 8

1.5x2x2.5 = 7.5

I geuss you do add scores

[sonic meadow]

If you could score 3 flushes in a single hand that would be the case, the ×mult only applies to the current hand, the score of which is then added to your previous hands in a round. So if I score 100 per a hand and the tribe doubles the score of each hand, I have 600 chips after 3 hands, not 800.

[clever cobalt]

You don't know what I can do

But you're correct

[sonic meadow]

That should be a mechanic though, imagine if wild card flush counted as 4 flushes for the tribe.

[fallow bloom]

Basically, this is way too busted

“Madness with flushes”

[clever cobalt]

With a bit of campfire and tribe

[sonic meadow]

It either needs to be per round or have a lot less scaling

[fallow bloom]

If a joker is a combination, then it’s not really an original idea

[clever cobalt]

I know

[sonic meadow]

I think ×0.25 would be ok. With 4 hands you get at max ×6 mult on your last hand of the ante. But you realistically only get like ×4 mult because it maxxing it requires playing consistent flushes every hand and not going over the score until your last hand.

[fallow bloom]

Dude then it’s tribe with madness

[clever cobalt]

Then it's often just worse than campfire

Or way better than madness

[fallow bloom]

Exactly

[clever cobalt]

And if you have burglar it's busted

But so is a lot of scaling

[sage citrus]

kinda a boring joker
