Isn't it 3?
wooden pecan
if you literally couldn’t survive one blind after selling a joker? You shouldn’t have taken the soul
wooden pecan
Isn't it 3?
it is three yeah
wooden pecan
if you literally couldn’t survive one blind after selling a joker? You shouldn’t...
no soul saves you; just don’t take the soul
people treat it like you have to take the legendary every time and throw runs
if i have even the slightest bit of leeway yorick is a 100% chance of winning
serene urchin
I disagree with that so insanely hard ngl. $10 is $10 and trib is almost always better than a blank joker slot
wooden pecan
that’s how you throw runs because you sold a scoring joker
what if you get perkeo/canio/yorick
serene urchin
Then I don't sell?
wooden pecan
those don’t contribute immediately and you lose
wooden pecan
Then I don't sell?
so what are you disagreeing with
serene urchin
I can still sell them though
Its an option
I take it
I either get $10 if I'm losing and need the money
wooden pecan
people treat it like you *have* to take the legendary every time and throw runs
my point exactly
10 dollars won’t get you back to where you were before you sold a joker
it’s wheel of fortune gambling your entire run
sly cypress
I either get $10 if I'm losing and need the money
$20-50 > 10
serene urchin
That's assuming I don't have a slot already, and all my jokers are not falling off or otherwise replaceable
That's assuming there's a massive alternative option
wooden pecan
That's assuming I don't have a slot already, and all my jokers are not falling o...
literally that’s exactly what i said??
what are you disagreeing with me on
sly cypress
it’s wheel of fortune gambling *your entire run*
Ok but tbf, soul actually has the opportunity to impact a run, don’t compare it to WoF
wooden pecan
“don’t do this in this scenario”
“okay but what if it was a different scenario”
sly cypress
Chat if something different happened would something change
wooden pecan
insane
libella my point is that if you have 5 jokers and a setup you shouldn’t take soul. you should only take soul if you have an actual extra slot
yorick is the fourth best joker because if you have an extra slot, it is a free win 100% of the time
there’s no reason to overkill with triboulet if you were gonna win
serene urchin
Okay 1 more fun
wooden pecan
and if you are really close to dying taking the soul will likely throw the run
wooden pecan
Okay 1 more fun
what’s the point of making a tierlist if you’re going to ignore optimization for fun
i don’t care how fun a single joker here is because i’m just ranking them solely off viability
(and i know i’m correct because i got like a 6 winstreak on gold stake and have c++ in ~150 hours)
dusk island
what’s the point of making a tierlist if you’re going to ignore optimization for...
you’re just making tierlists with different things in mind
and that’s okay
serene urchin
To me, soul is $10 minimum. When I open a pack, I'm not guaranteed anything good. Obviously if there's a better option or would have to sell a valuable joker than obviously i wouldn't grief to take it. However, I don't have a perfect build usually. If I'm about to lose, my build is already shit. Replacing a shit joker with a legendary, OR $10 + joker value, to me is worth it
wooden pecan
you’re just making tierlists with different things in mind
i agree
which is why i checked
serene urchin
I think its unfair to compare it to "you're about to lose and it'll throw your run"
wooden pecan
she’s actively arguing my point though
serene urchin
But also saying "you're getting rid of another valuable joker, only if you have a free slot"
wooden pecan
i’m not sure where she put yorick but that’s unimportant since she thinks i’m wrong
serene urchin
Those 2 are impossible to both be true. I'm either losing, at which point I have to have something weak and can sell it, or I'm winning and I don't sell it
serene urchin
libella my point is that if you have 5 jokers and a setup you shouldn’t take sou...
I disagree with this for that reason
Yes when you are about to win it's not worth selling your carry joker for a random legendary
That's not usually the case
last flame
is shoot the moon bribing you
serene urchin
I love it its fun and +13 mult really easily. Good early game
Get a steel queen and that's +20 mult on its own
Get a red seal steel queen? Huge value
Its a common, up to +52 mult for a common is crazy
wooden pecan
To me, soul is $10 minimum. When I open a pack, I'm not guaranteed anything good...
so what does this have to do with either what i’ve said or my placement of yorick
serene urchin
Instantly up to +52, usually +13 or +26
wooden pecan
shoot the moon is so ass bro
serene urchin
Which makes it better than popcorn imo, which is already strong
I am not talking about yorick 😭
wooden pecan
you can get 15 mult for literally no requirements with mystic summit or 20 off of half joker
serene urchin
I was talking about soul cards 😭
wooden pecan
I was talking about soul cards 😭
have you literally read a word i’ve said
or are you just making up an argument to respond to
please actually read my points
if you’re referring to another scenario in which you’re right, then cool
but please don’t try to argue with me if you’re not going to actually respond to what i’ve said
serene urchin
Okay
serene urchin
if you literally couldn’t survive one blind after selling a joker? You shouldn’t...
I stopped talking about Yorick from this point on
Since you said soul
And I was talking about soul
And not yorick
That's why I specified soul, and did not specify yorick.
And also said trib next. And $10. And not yorick
I'm saying that i disagree with you saying that soul is bait
That was why I made those arguments
I was not arguing about yorick anymore
Since you said soul.
serene urchin
I disagree with that so insanely hard ngl. $10 is $10 and trib is almost always ...
I specify trib and $10 here. Because to me, you said "you shouldn't have taken the soul". That was what I was arguing against
wooden pecan
do you think anything here is incorrect
since these are my only points and you've generally been responding to stuff i haven't said
serene urchin
Okay i don't think we are seeing eye to eye and I don't know if that's going to change. I replied to that message because I was replying to it. I think, yes, if you have a setup, it is not worth it to pivot. As I said 10 minutes ago. When I replied to your message. Agreeing to your point. However I disagree with the 2nd opinion regarding the actual free slot. I think that is incorrect because of my other points which I said as well. You are saying:
Soul is not always worth it because you have to sell a joker that is helping you win, for potentially no benefit to scoring. Therefore, you should only take the soul card when you have a free slot.
I disagree. If you are already winning, then yes. However, if you are struggling, and have weak jokers, I think it is preferred to sell one of them to get the soul card. My other options from the pack the soul came from are unlikely to be as impactful as at least $10+ value would be. If I'm on the verge of dying, I think i will likely have a joker I can sell and not gimp my build. I think in those instances, it is usually better to take the soul than to not, hence why I disagreed with your point and was focusing on soul cards. Not yorick
Maybe i am mis interpreting your points, but I don't think i am
"You should only take soul if you have an extra slot"
I disagree. That is what my entire point was. I thought i made that clear, I apologize if I didnt
I'm not arguing about this anymore.

So then dont take it like what's the issue
Deck searching hit does suck but like good enough jokers just means you win anyway
sly cypress
As in it’s a joker you see that you don’t take
Thus is a joker that isn’t in your joker slot which means your deck is still a -1 for free
And clearly the joker slot isn’t THAT important since painted deck is -1 slots and is REALLY good
obtuse patrol
All decks see jokers you don't take. Painted deck is +2 handsize which is also insane
sly cypress
And for gold stake only really need 3-4 scoring jokers

There is literally a joker that is plus 2 handsize and it's negative is minus 1 hand

tbh @wooden pecan you may be more fucking right hthen I thought maybe I just don't understand green joker's game

If you have a wee joker and a single hanging chad or hack

Either pair or two pair yeah
Just ez to spam and get the telescope value
Although a lot of the time in gold stake you're pair spamming anyways
dusk island
i’ve been wondering, why specifically pair?
tropic kettle
its basically high card with better chip scaling from planet cards
dusk island
fair enough

FOR GOLD STAKE NEBULA IS IT ALSO JUST SPAM PAIRS?
yes pair spam is the way
perhaps even 3oak if you have goated deck fixing

I know but like the games been out over a year and id consider it the main chase. Lot of games with similar achievements wouldn't have been at 1% for a long time
sly cypress
Tbf a lot of players just play to pass the time or when they’re bored and only play maybe like the first 3 stakes
Like very casual players
And also it’s a pretty big time sink to complete all 15 decks 10(?) times each
cerulean orbit
i cant even past purple stake

Most balatro players are very casual
I have a couple friends that just refuse to play gold stake cause it's boring

what is gold stake do
sometimes i wonder if i actually natively speak english cause wtf is that shit

gold stake is the hardest stake, the thing it adds is rental jokers (jokers that cost you three dollars if you end a round with them)

do we know what the blue stake changes are going to be yet?

so when does the crash come

honestly cryptid is really stable most of the time now
it only really crashes if you hit like an insane number of retrigger effects
the one time I crashed was canvas + 800 mr bones
hallow hazel
got baron and mime in one shop
wooden pecan
got baron and mime in one shop
how'd it go

+5 stickers. abandonded deck might be the best for sticker farming. easy straight flush builds
glad i got riffraff out the way
cerulean orbit
it only really crashes if you hit like an insane number of retrigger effects
i had about 6 bps retrigringgering a hanging chad 140 times, and had 3 of the jokers that trigger the left most joker (blueprint) a joker that had a 5.8 in 4.2 chance of retirggering a joker, and a few other retrigger jokers
it got to the point where it took 30 mins of calculating when i gave up
the game was struggling to even play tbf

What I’m sayin
Drspectred said once you get past ante 3 or 4 it’s pretty hard to lose
And I completely agree
You get so many tarots it’s so easy to make your deck exactly what you want so fast
south meadow
Granted I got incredibly lucky with glass breaks
Had 1 break before final hand and probably played 15
wooden pecan
cruilty was harder
golden needle was the worst imo
for jokerless i didn't even use glass cards
i just spammed blue seal straights and won first try
austere rune
idk if i can win this one guys

Thats just rude
south meadow
if i grab this on golden needle does it just kill me

no u still have 1 hand
south meadow
i dont think you can go to 0 hands
with troubador and the boss that sets you to 1 hand it gave me 2 lol

i dont think you can go to 0 hands
yeah that
think I ran into the same interaction when going for that challenge

i dont think you can go to 0 hands

I actually had a run where it stuck around all the way since ante 2 and it was negative and popped RIGHT as I beat the boss
that was so frustrating

does it not give the sticker if it pops

i swear my game is allergic to negative skips

woulda given me 6 new gold stickers if i got it an ante earlier

thanks for the help
fucking was trying pokermon mod and got a fairly cool celebi run but like
i cant tell if this joker really helps a lot tbh, is that just me
it did have metagross which like holy shit
for context celebi is just -1 ante if you skip 1(increases by 1 per use)

had a run go to like ante 14 with a double metagross which was fun

out of all the jokers i have this is the set im missing

Not really needed at the end of the game tbh but I do enjoy it

- Business Card [White]
- DNA [Purple]
- Superposition [Black]
- Juggler [White]...
well
juggler/drunkard/business/dna/smeared aren’t too hard
superpos/cola aren’t just gonna be dead weight but it’s just dead weight at least
stone joker is probably the easiest to get by a good margin
and then good luck on seltzer that took me a couple tries

how can you ever think wee joker is bad
situational yea but it's the best chip scaler if you can set it up even slightly
my proudest moment
jagged raptor
wee joker is not bad but it PISSES me off cause its literally the only rare joker that appears when im trying to speedrun
hallow hazel
it pisses me off cause it shows up only after i cut 2s from my deck
opaque spire
situational yea but it's the best chip scaler if you can set it up even slightly
I've never been in a position to run with it 😔
don't think I've ever won with it
I still don't think it's bad I just haven't got to experience it at all

That's crazy unlucky fr wee joker is so much fun
You should try speedrunning it shows up a lot
It's not good for runs but you can just forget the speed part when you find it

nah im just badd

oh so that’s kinda the limit without seeded runs
not in the slightest
e49 unseeded is my personal best but like people have hit naninf, and generally every seed has the potiental to get into the high antes with good enough deck fixing usually with idol
If you want to learn alot id recommend watching balatro university
dire fractal
oh so that’s kinda the limit without seeded runs
Eh
It’s the limit outside of a dedicated late game build

i thought it was orang stake
I got orange stake
Now I’m grinding away for another run like that
The one that got me orange was bull + blueprint + deckfixing+ getting the plant

well thats a start
Holy shit

cause i havent finned a orange stake in 75 hours of playing
Plasma is like one of the hardest to do gold stake on
Or at least one of the most hit or miss

i ended up not finning orang stake like i thought
turns out i started a new game on white

is it legit just better to farm chips in plasma deck
If the goal is to clear then yes
If the goal is for a new high score no
timid belfry
yeah my gf hit like a e30 but any run without a seed can go to naneinf
i do filtered seeds which guarantees a legendary joker at the start and get it that way
with the right jokers you can consistently get to ante 16+

yeah, I didn’t get much luck with either of those
on the other hand the game gave me ridiculous luck on lucky cards
like that was 80% of my deck 😭
this was my joker setup, pls don’t flame me if it was bad, just remembering it is black stakes
opal wadi
dawg that is a fucking awesome build
supple locust
I accudentally got the double odds joker when it was eternal 😭
but then I ran into that last one which guarantees mult on hearts as a result

yea
and you set up the blueprint in the right spot
i would put it there or over the sock n buskin

yeah I got most of that setup by ante 8
