Balancing Act

[tulip pendant]

Uncommon 6$
+5 mult per joker to the right of this joker
+.5x mult per joker to the left of this joker (minimum 1x)

[primal horizon]

this kinda feels like

multiple effects

[tulip pendant]

I mean technically it is but I feel like this is reasonable within the design and balanced

[winter token]

so its a free 3x mult

got it

wait

nvm its not free

it sound weird tho

very meta of an effect and idk how to feel about it

its multiple effects but also i really do not know how to feel about a joker thats basically refrencing pure game mechanics

either way im uhh on it since 2.5x for free on any flat mult joker you use or 3x if its something like fib is a bit much

[ruby loom]

Wdym by referencing pure game mechanics?

[winter token]

this is based on the flat mult xmult scoring order for its effect and that feels too meta for me idk

i also dont like how free the effect is since lets be honest most of the time your meaningful flat mult doesnt come from 3 jokers but 1

[opaque spade]

I dont see many situations at all where this wouldn’t just be used for 3x mult

Just checked and if im not mistaken using it for 3x mult is optimal with 25 or more base mult

And with 4 other jokers its quite likely you reach over that amount anyway

This also is so much more consistent compared to other uncommon 3X mults

[winter token]

hell even a free 2.5x with a green joker js good

really good

remember that even 2x jokers have much higher requirements than exist

[opaque spade]

I just realised this joker is better than multiple rare x mult jokers lol

Duo trio tribe and order

[cerulean saddle]

blackboard has competition for the joker most similar to cavendish now

[radiant sluice]

Would be more interesting if the sides were reversed imo

That way you need to strategize a bit

[winter token]

then itd just conform with the flat mult xmult order so itd be boring

[limpid gate]

Brainstorm?

[opaque spade]

Currently it does that

[winter token]

currently its opposite

[opaque spade]

Nuh uh

[winter token]

for max value it has to be leftmost for xmult and rightmost for mult

[winter token]

its stupid op either way since this but yeah

[opaque spade]

Bro…🫩

[opaque spade]

Each joker to the left of it gives 0.5x mult

[radiant sluice]

No?

Rn you want it to be rightmost

So at the end

[tulip pendant]

Do you think there's any way to change it without getting rid of the core mechanic?

[night latch]

You could make it:
Uncommon 6$
+15 chips per joker to the left of this joker
+0.5 xmult per joker to the right of this joker (minimum 1 xmult and 12 chips)

[tulip pendant]

Wouldn't .5 xmult force you to have at least one joker to the right of it?

.5 xmult minimum I mean

[night latch]

True, changed

[tulip pendant]

Nah lowkey I think that'd fix it.
