Sidekick (Rare)

[desert raft]

Every time the joker on left and right of this card is triggered, gain a 1.5x mult on that round.

(Ex: a joker triggers, and it multiplies. another triggers, it multiplies again)

1.5x mult is wild

Even if it's 1.5 x 1.5 and not 1.5 + 1.5 it's still wild

If its 1.5x 1.5 it will go insane with a mime steel card build

Its too busted

[sharp glade]

Mime steel isn't even the problem, that kind of build is pretty niche for your average ante 8 run, the issue is that any card based trigger is 7.5× mult on a 5 card hand without retriggers and even more absurd amounts with them.

I can just pull greedy joker and a hanging chad and I get 25 ×mult with only 3 joker slots and common jokers.

Not only does it have potential to be busted, but it is really easy to unlock.

I could get behind this if it gave something like +15 chips though.

Hmmmm

That's a scaling joker I was thinking just a one time score and it goes for all jokers, not just 1.

Its the Sidekick so shouldnt it only respond to jokers on its side? Place a restriction on the direction like Blueprint and that should tame it a bit.

Perhaps keep the larger scaling and have it reset or lower the scaling and allow it to retain the amount.?
