In theory I love an early Hiker. The idea of slowly bumping the chip potential of your entire deck is really fun in concept. But I think overall impact of it is really low.

The problem with Hiker is that you can't see what cards it's buffed without hovering over them. Makes it annoyingly fiddly to use, regardless of how powerful it is.

  Welp, I beat the purple stake on checkered deck. Let the orange stake bullshit begin I guess because I really want to unlock that last deck. 3 cheers for Red Card gaming. Admittedly it only really scaled well enough due to a mixture of blueprint and wheel of fortune actually giving me a polychrome so each skipped pack was actually +9 mult (3 x2 x1.5 ) Also Riff-Raff giving me Business Card and Egg right from the start gave me a really strong starting economy that built into a stronger economy allowing me to burn some money every shop on boosters to throw away, assisted by getting both price reduction vouchers. I'd like to thank this thread for teaching me the dark secret of Red Card: on mega packs if you grab one item and then skip it still counts as a skip.

Now that you've hit orange stake, time to never use red card again!

Even in a Hack deck the wee joker is going to be about double the benefit on average, and the bonus applies to all cards including new ones (which is important if you get a cool card from a playing card booster.) Even for a rare vs. uncommon it seems like a big gap. No Wave posted:Now that you've hit orange stake, time to never use red card again! It's probably not going to get up to +63 but it still compares favorably to a lot of commons with no/limited scaling.

 Been out of the loop for a bit, but managed to come back and get some more Balatro in today, clearing Yellow Deck and Green Deck on Green Stakes. An Ante 12 clear remains out of sight, but the early Yorick was very welcome and made this run pretty strong.

  I feel like this could be the start of some crazy run into Ante 9+ but I am very scared of loving it up i think the move is to sell the tribe (flush x2 joker) buy blueprint and hope i can hit something good to copy with 3 copies of perkeo? does brainstorm work if it copies a blueprint? thalweg fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Mar 9, 2024 |

 TBH it feels kind of unfair smeared joker has a negative interaction with debuff like this. Wild cards getting a similar treatment also sucks.

ughhhhhhhhhhhhh lost a good run because i made a card stone to feed vampire forgetting that prevents the hand from being a flush that's okay though cause i was just hoarding double tags on anaglyph deck hoping for money doublers/sources. end of ante 7 and not a single loving good skip the whole time. garbage run anyway

Alkydere posted:Orange Stake makes booster packs more expensive so it's kind of hard to justify Red Card. Which I'd disagree with. Booster packs are a gamble that don't always pay off, but the upside is high enough that they're worth prioritizing even at orange. I often find that an early red card often gets up to +12-15 pretty quickly without any special effort and will probably wind up in the +20-30 range--not great, but good enough for a common. If you have a strong economy then it can still sometimes get above +40, which still isn't a huge gamechanger but is pretty good.

How do multiple retriggers work? If I have a red seal on a card getting a retrigger from a joker, does that play three times or four?

Just bought a cavendish and had it go extinct in the next round. I feel like I should get an achievement for this. EDIT: After the next round after that, a second cavendish appeared in the shop. The game has the opportunity to do the funniest thing of all time. the holy poopacy fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Mar 9, 2024 |

I watched a streamer who got 2 mimes to retrigger red seal steel cards and it appears that each effect only happens once. You can't retrigger the red seal.

I believe each card in an Arcana or Spectral pack has a 1 in 333 chance to be replaced with Soul. One of the legendaries is the final card I have left to complete my collection and it has taken me nearly as long as unlocking literally everything else combined. RNG gonna RNG.

Which deck(s) would people recommend for finishing off some of my achievements? I need the 30 of each suit ones (obviously checkered works for half of those), $400, and the one hand earns 1M and 100M. I got close to the $400 one once but only because I had Rocket from the very beginning.

Anaglyph is great for the 400 dollar one, just save your double tags for the double money skips. Or if you're like me, get the Midas joker and golden ticket by the end of ante 1, making deck choice pointless.

Yea, Anaglyph made the $400 one pretty trivial. I still need “discard 5 Jacks”, “finish in fewer than 12 rounds”, “play four 7’s of clubs”, “win while never having more than 4 Jokers”, “play 5 Gold cards”, and two of the Legendaries. I think Erratic deck is probably best for the Jacks and Clubs but the rest is kind of a crapshoot.

Painted deck lowers your joker cap by one, making it the obvious choice for a four joker run. Zodiac handles five jacks and four sevens, and the golden mask joker is an easy way to get a hand full of golden cards. Beating the game in 12 round is a little tricky. You need to get a deck that scales well early, then you can just skip all the non-boss blinds. If you get the joker that levels up every time you skip a blind, you can force your way through this one pretty painlessly. Legendaries are random. It is what it is.

Still need a bunch: play all Hearts in the deck, $400, 100M, 30 Clubs and 30 Diamonds (wild cards and Painted Joker don't count I imagine?). and more. Hell I don't have any stake other than basic beaten

For the Jack and 7s ai got lucky on spectral cards and then a few tarots to get the same suits. Took a long time trying with the abandoned deck but I got down to 20 cards by getting a super early Trading card to get there.

Been playing through the challenges in order, only 2 left to go. Most haven't been too bad, but golden needle and blast off were tough. I got lucky on needle pivoting to a 4/5 of a kind build with some spectral card draws. It's by far the most RNG dependent challenge I've experienced so far. The last one looks tricky but I think the strat may be to just throw a lot of glass cards and red seals at it with a flush build. I still have a fair bit to unlock, but too bad you can't trigger those while playing challenges.

Pretty sure I used anaglyph for "less than 12 rounds". The double tags encourage skipping more often. Keep in mind 12 rounds means at least skipping through 4 antes entirely.
