Hack (Joker) Balatro Wiki Fandom
Hack is an uncommon Joker that provides a way to retrigger low-rank cards, those being 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s. It is similar to Sock and Buskin, providing retriggers if specific ranks are played, but affects more total ranks due to the ranks it affects giving fewer chips. Abandoned Deck makes it…

Decks
- Abandoned Deck makes it easier to dig through to find your powerful low-rank cards.
- Erratic Deck might start with more low-rank cards that Hack can affect.
- Magic Deck’s Fools can be used to duplicate Strength cards to turn Aces into 2s, Death cards to copy strong low-rank cards, or apply a powerful enhancement like Glass to multiple low-rank cards.
- Zodiac Deck can be used to find more Tarot cards to enhance low-rank cards or ways to copy them.
- Ghost Deck can find powerful seal-applying Spectral cards, and Aura, which can make your low-rank cards more powerful.
Poker Hands
Hands that play five low-rank cards work best, as you want the card effects triggering as many times as possible. Especially powerful are Five of a Kind and Flush Five, since they are easily reachable when you are duplicating many of the same powerful cards, though Full House is a good earlier hand.
Jokers
- Any Joker that triggers an effect when a low-rank card is played works well with Hack, as the effects it gives will be doubled. Particularly noteworthy are Fibonacci, which gives a large +Mult boost to three of Hack’s retriggers, and Wee Joker, which scales twice as fast on the retriggered 2s.
- Jokers that generate Tarots, like Cartomancer and Vagabond, are very helpful to making Hack work, as many Tarots either enhance cards or can be used to make more low-rank cards.
- Jokers that give X Mult from cards are very useful, as the cards that trigger them will do so twice. There aren’t as many that work with low-rank cards, but some examples are Bloodstone, Ancient Joker, and Walkie Talkie.
- If one has enough X Mult from their cards, another retrigger Joker is very useful to combine with Hack. This will usually be either Dusk or Seltzer, though Blueprint and Brainstorm can also be used to copy Hack for a less conditional retrigger. One can also use Showman to try and find another Hack.
- Trading Card and DNA make it easier to draw your useful low-rank cards. DNA is particularly useful, as it can copy a powerful low-rank card with an enhancement, edition, and seal.
- Hiker has incredible synergy with Hack, as not only will Hiker scale cards twice as fast, but the retriggering of the cards will also give their chips again. Lucky Cat can also scale twice as fast, since the low-rank lucky cards it will be using to scale have twice as many chances.
- As Glass cards are so good with Hack’s retriggers, Glass Joker can be a nice addition to still get value when they break.
- Certificate can be used to try and find a low-rank card (or a King/Ace that can be Strengthed) with a powerful seal, or purple seals to generate Tarots for the low-rank cards. However, if it adds too many high-rank cards, Hack will become less valuable, so the risk and reward must be carefully assessed.
Trivia
- A “hack” is a slang term to refer to both a mediocre comedian and/or re-used, obvious, or stolen jokes from other comedians (explaining the presence of the comedian in the card’s artwork). This repetition of low-quality jokes is reflected in the retriggering of low-rank cards.
