Idol Rework

[vale palm]

This change would make it better for 8 ante and not endless

Idol is already good in endless

[stray mirage]

It makes endless runs better, along with high score runs and you dont have to deal with different suits of the same rank

And since, Idol is better in endless anyways

[rich elbow]

Imo we shouldn't design for endless

[stray mirage]

It makes idol better in general

And since balatro is designed for big numbers

[real raven]

idol is good as is imo

[fickle mortar]

the point of the idol is that it encourages hyper focused deck fixing

[stray mirage]

Isnt most synergies hyper focused deck fixing?

[fickle mortar]

idol wants 1 card in particular

other jokers might want a suit or a rank

[glass panther]

This makes idol WAY worse for endless, the only reason idol is good is because of the x2, x1.5 is pitiful

Also making it only on rank doesn't change anything because idol is for flush 5 builds, not five of a kind, why? Because flush five scores more

[real raven]

also just makes it very similar to bloodstone or ancient joker instead of being its own thing

[glass panther]

Making it rare is just a nerf, making this joker practically unusable

[stray mirage]

@glass panther It doesnt make it worse, just because you don't NEED to switch to 5 of a kind, It just makes it easier to have

It could also stay uncommon too

That was just my initial idea

And not only that; Where else is a joker Rank-Specific

Like EXACTLY rank specific

I don’t think you fully understand the difference between 1.5x and 2x

Add a retrigger so it’s ^10 and it’s 1024x vs 57.6x lmao

[stray mirage]

i genuinely might just try to take this down

im done arguing with people

[real raven]

is this considered arguing??

[azure urchin]

my hot take is that idol would be balanced at x2 without suit specificity

[stray mirage]

i agree with you
