Poker Hands
♥️ Flush Five works exceptionally well with The Idol because it can trigger the effect 5 times plus any additional retriggers from Jokers or Red Seals.
♥️ If using The Idol its best to play a Flush Five as soon as possible in order to unlock its respective Planet Card Eris.
♥️ In the early to midgame one can make do with Three of a Kind and Four of a Kind assuming the correct card is chosen by The Idol. Due to the highly random nature of the card you will likely want more reliable sources of score before you can fully utilize it. That said using this joker in the early to midgame is nearly impossible.
Jokers
🃏 Jokers that retrigger scored cards such as Dusk or Hack will compound the multiplication immensely.
🃏 Jokers that help manipulate the deck to fewer types of cards will make the randomly chosen card more likely to be desirable. DNA or Trading Card are the most important jokers for accomplishing this.
