Balatro: You can keep jokers in place by clicking and holding on them. - The Something Awful Forums

Ride The Bus, Supernova and Green Joker are all S tier high stakes jokers if you get them in ante 1/2, maybe 3 if your other jokers can pull their weight for a bit as they get going, you just pivot into playing "a pair" and then win. Then you run into the needle and die but that's Balatro. I dislike green joker because I discard a lot but if you pair it with Burglar then it's S+ tier. The Spectral card that gives you a rare joker but sets your money to $0, does it always give you the joker that gives you a free spectral card if you score a straight flush? Because that might be the most useless joker in the game. Fun interaction I had the other day was I was at $-12 with the credit card and I got the wraith spectral that gives a random rare joker and sets money to 0 so I got a free rare joker and $12. No, it gives you a random rare joker. I've unlocked plasma deck but it's so weird. Really? Because I feel like the last few time's I've picked it I've gotten that useless straight flush free spectral card joker. I keep reading that it's OP but I don't really get it either. Tried at first to pump chips as much as possible since they're easier to come by, but then there isn't multipliers for chips so I guess it's still best to go after x-mult. Yeah, I was gonna mention this too. Pretty good way out of debt. I'm just wondering if it also works with The Ox (most played hand sets money to 0). there isn't multipliers for chips Can someone explain what this card means? Like...aren't all the cards below 52? Isn't the highest value technically like, 13, the king? I assume I am misunderstanding this somehow? Can someone explain what this card means? Like...aren't all the cards below 52? Isn't the highest value technically like, 13, the king? I assume I am misunderstanding this somehow? Yeah, the game has a bad habit of creating OP synergies and then trying to balance them by including hard counters against them. It does give you some outs, so it's not a total lost cause, but it could also just... make them less OP in the first place. Man, I am having trouble beating Gold difficulty on the Checkered deck. I wanted to get that out of the way because it's "the flush deck". Either I am doing something wrong or having bad luck. Any tips for that deck? Don't feel obligated to build around flushes every time. Well, that's an inherent feature of card builders imho. In Slay the Spire is super hard to modify a chip damage deck if you get Time Eater as a boss. And at high ascension levels you matemathically get poo poo on by early minibosses if you don't take strong offensive cards. If anything I feel more in control with Balatro than in any other game. Even if you can't reroll the boss, emergency Joker reshuffles are manageable if you have spare cash. I have ditched multiple pareidolia decks because of an ante 7 Mark or Plant but still managed to salvage the run enough to get the win. Then I got demolished in endless mode because it became an unoptimized garbage deck, but hey, same thing as The Heart check in StS. Can someone explain what this card means? Like...aren't all the cards below 52? Isn't the highest value technically like, 13, the king? I assume I am misunderstanding this somehow? Really? Because I feel like the last few time's I've picked it I've gotten that useless straight flush free spectral card joker. How the gently caress is anyone getting to MAXINT, I get ratfucked on green stakes ante 2 half the time. As others have said, it's taking about the number of cards in your deck. The reason it's phrased in this way is because other cards that say "+x per card added to your deck" actually only count cards added after you buy the joker and isn't impacted by removing cards. This one works per card removed no matter when, but it's cancelled out by adding cards. It took me a second to parse too because you think, surely it would just say "per card removed Steel cards + red seals + lots of retrigger bullshit. That's really the only way to get anywhere once you hit endless.
