FAQs
Why is the square Joker good?
The Square Joker is a common Joker which provides a chips bonus that increases by +4 Chips every time you play a hand with only four cards. The four cards played do not have to score and all four can be debuffed. This Joker cannot receive the Perishable sticker.
How to unlock invisible Joker Balatro?
Unlock Requirement Win a game while never having more than 4 jokers. Invisible Joker is a rare Joker that can be sold after two rounds to duplicate a random Joker in the players inventory. The copied Joker will retain almost all the properties of the original including any scaling Edition and Stickers.
Is Hiker good Balatro?
Because it scores all cards played certain cards can be upgraded with Hiker that normally would not be due to the hand. This dual combo can act as a strong chip provider for High Card and Pair builds as one can focus on playing the same cards again and again to continuously upgrade them without caring about rank.
