Pros and cons
FAQs
What are the different types of Jokers in 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.
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.
Can madness destroy itself in Balatro?
Madness cannot destroy itself but can destroy other copies of Madness. If there are both eternal and non-eternal Jokers present Madness will always destroy a non-eternal Joker.
