FAQs
Is photograph Joker good Balatro?
Jokers have four different rarities denoting how likely they are to appear in a given run: Common Uncommon Rare and Legendary. In general higher rarity jokers can be more powerful but when a joker has no direct analogue of a higher rarity it can be difficult to determine if it is better.
Does Showman stack Balatro?
Showman when equipped allows duplicates of other Jokers Planet Cards and Tarot to show up in the shop and Booster Packs. Normally when players already have a particular Joker Planet Cards or Tarot in their possessions the shop will never have a duplicate but with Showman equipped this is now possible.
Is Burglar good Balatro?
Burglar is a Joker that increases your hands per round at the cost of losing all discards. This has the added benefit of increasing your income if you can beat the Blind without using all of your hands.
