A couple fun mods I've been experimenting with:

Card Sleeves - See pic below. Clear a high enough stake with a deck and get a corresponding sleeve. It's sort of like mix and matching decks. Red sleeve is +1 discard, yellow is +$10 starting cash, abandoned sleeve is no face cards, etc. If you use the same deck and sleeve it will amplify that deck's ability. For instance, if you use abandoned deck and abandoned sleeve you now cannot get face cards in that run at all. Double erratic will randomize hand count, joker slots, and other things. Double anaglyph means you get a double tag after every blind. Sure it makes the game a LOT easier, but that's no bad thing.



Pokermon - this is a doozy. Balatro University was playing this one. All gen 1 pokemon have a joker (that's 152 jokers), plenty of new consumables, a new seal type, evolutions, it adds a lot. There's options to play with just the pokemon jokers which I would probably recommend. It feels like an entirely different game, in a good way. Balance-wise it's definitely a lot more forgiving than the base game.

eta: Not posting a link as it's through discord and that's a pain but someone has made a mod that among other things changes Black deck to start with Hieroglyph instead of just having a -1 hand penalty. Honestly seems like a really good change.

Ariong posted:

Congratulations! I'll get there too, someday. If you're still hungry for more Balatro, here are a few mods I'd recommend, which I can confirm are all compatible:

Betmma Jokers and Vouchers
Bunco
Mika's Mod Collection
Card Sleeves - This one is good if you want a sense of progression again.

Finally, Cardsauce is one of the highest-quality mods, but it's entirely themed around in-jokes and running gags from the streamer Vinesauce Vinny. I'm not sure how obtrusive that would be if you aren't already a fan. However, it does have its own kickass soundtrack.


NOTE: Modding Balatro requires the usage of the Lovely LUA injector and a mod loader. Both of those have wrinkles. Lovely is a code injector which alters the code of another program (balatro.exe) at runtime. This is something that legitimate programs almost never do and malicious programs do a lot, so basically every anti-virus software is going to flag it. You'll need to follow the install instructions carefully to make an exception for it in your OS's antivirus. The wrinkle with the mod loader is that there are two different ones, Steammodded and Balamod, which are incompatible. Most mods only work with one. All the mods I recommended use Steammodded so that's the loader I recommend.

Short form: Early on you need very little in the way of mults/chips to hit thresholds so typically you want one or two economy jokers to build up your funds. From there you slowly change from economy jokers to score/utility jokers to make the blinds. The only reason to keep an economy joker in your pool late game is if it's polychrome, negative or it's actively helping your mult due to effects of other jokers.

As for building the deck itself, typically you build around the jokers you get, not build in anticipation of the jokers you might get. If the game is tossing flush jokers at you and you're building the deck for straights you may lose pretty quickly. All hands can win a run with the right build and foresight.

Long form: Here's a good vid from Haelian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eby9Eva03zU

Kuros posted:

One thing to put into the guides part, hands and jokers are tallied up from left to right in order in MOST cases. Conditional triggers from jokers will trigger first before triggering other effects in the joker pool from left to right.

Example:

Your jokers are in order: Campfire (+.5x mult per sold card starting at 1x mult), Scary Face (face cards get +30 chips) and Joker (+4 mult)

If you play a three of a kind of Kings and Campfire is at 1.5x, you will trigger the Scary Face first per king, then the Campfire and finally the Joker. The Campfire is mostly wasted due to it going first in front of the +4 mult from the Joker. So you end up with a 7.5 mult as you would get 3 from the hand, then 1.5x from Campfire then +4 from the Joker.

If you switch the Joker and Campfire you get: 3 from the hand + 4 from the Joker which is 7 then 1.5x which is 10.5 mult.

Adding the chips which would be 150 (30 for the hand + 30 for each king + 90 from the Scary Face) you would have 1125 chips in the first example, but 1575 in the second example.

Typical rule of thumb is: +Chips or +Mult goes on the left, anything that does xMult goes on the right. These rules apply to cards/jokers that have Foil, Hologram, Polychrome, Mult, Enhanced, Lucky, or Glass.

Arcanuse posted:

Let's start with a basic Glass card.
That's a 2x (2x) Multiplier, simple enough.
Now let's make it a Polychrome Glass card.
Now it's 2x/1.5x (3x). A little better.
And let's give it a Red Seal. Red Seals cause a played card to trigger an additional time, and both the above effects are applied on trigger.
So, this would give it 2x/2x/1.5x/1.5x (9x)!

But we're just getting started.
Say this cards a king and you have, yes, Triboulet.
Now it's 2x/2x/2x/2x/1.5/1.5. (36x) Juicy, powerful, liable to explode don't worry about that.

Now let's put a Blueprint left of it, for another 2x/2x.
2x/2x/2x/2x/2x/2x1.5/1.5. (144x)

And lets add... Oh, Sock and Buskin. Now, this ones special, giving another trigger to face cards. So that (144x) becomes...
2x/2x/2x/2x/2x/2x//2x/2x/2x//1.5/1.5/1.5 (1728x)

and what the hell, we're this deep in lets slap a Brainstorm on the right (still keeping Blueprint and Triboulet neighbors), duplicating Sock and Buskin.
2x/2x/2x/2x2x/2x/2x/2x/2x/2x/2x/2x/1.5/1.5/1.5/1.5 (20736x)

now that's a big multiplier! except no, it's just one card. You get up to five.
[1]: (20736x)
[2]: (429,981,696x)
[3]: (8,916,100,448,256x)
[4]: (184,884,258,895,036,416x)
[5]: (3,833,759,992,447,475,122,176x)

and let's not forget steel cards for an extra 1.5 each, or a joker to trigger those again or planets buffing base multiplier and chips-
Look, you get the point.
Even under actual, non-theoretical limits, triggers are important and if anyone would actually reaches nevermind clears Ante 16 without severe trigger abuse I'll be shocked.

Broadly, in order to score well you need:

1. A way to add chips
2. A way to add multiplier
3. A way to multiply multiplier

Playing big hands and leveling them up is a decent source of chips, but a poor source of multiplier. The difference in multiplier between playing something like a level 4 flush and playing an unleveled high card is less than a single mediocre joker, the biggest thing you're getting from the flush is chips.

Jokers are a great source of multiplier. Lots of jokers add multiplier and a lot of them are not even particularly specialized (which is good, because if you're relying on base hand scoring then you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket unless it's a really really good basket and a lot of the basic "+chips/+multiplier for a specific hand" jokers are not really worth it unless they have something like permanent scaling or multiplicative multipliers.) There are also ways to add chips from your jokers, but these are not as common as you need to keep an eye out for them. If you have a lot of chips from jokers and a lot of multiplier from jokers then the actual hand you play doesn't matter much, but if you only have multiplier from jokers then you need to be scoring good 5-card hands to get any reasonable score at all. At this point a joker that helps you get those good hands more reliably starts to look pretty useful, but again, just hitting the big hand every hand probably isn't enough if you don't have some added multiplier.

Suppose for example that you have 5 jokers adding an average of +10 multiplier each (a fairly mediocre build.) If you play a single ace, you score 16 chips x 51 multiplier for a little over 800. If you score a level 4 flush with decent card values you might score something like 120 chips x 60 multiplier = 7200. So you better hope that you can use enough tarots/spectral cards that you can reliably score that flush.

On the other hand, if you have 3 jokers adding +10 multiplier each and 2 jokers adding +100 chips, then your single ace now scores almost 3600 and your flush scores 8800. The flush is still obviously better but the gap is much smaller and it's not as immediately fatal if you miss your flush.

(If you only have chips from jokers and no real multipliers, you're probably gonna die barring Shenanigans, because even leveled up hands have very low multiplier compared to what you get from jokers. If you had +250 chips from jokers with no source of multiplier, the same flush is now only scoring 3700, about as bad as a level 1 high card from the more balanced loadout. Also, since chips are less common on jokers you're probably not even going to get to +250.)

These aren't very high scores, but these are pretty low bonuses for jokers, equivalent to the modifiers on holo/foil cards. Which means that if you get all shiny cards you can have a set of jokers that gives one of the sets of chips/multiplier above in addition to the actual bonuses on the joker! So go for those shiny cards, the skip bonus that guarantees one in the next shop is very good unless you have a rock solid joker build and/or no money. (Which is another important point: try not to be broke. Holding onto cash between rounds earns you interest, unless you're playing with the Green Deck. Don't go below $10 unless there is something amazing for sale, like a shiny joker with a big value ability.) Similarly, the voucher that makes shiny jokers more common is extremely valuable.

Even then, that only goes far. A reasonably strong joker base chips/multiplier joker build with 2 foils and 2 holos might see something like, I dunno, +270 chips and +90 multiplier. At this point you're clearing 25k on a high card and 39k with a level 4 flush. That probably gets you over the finish line, but you still might get sunk by a particularly nasty boss blind. After a certain point you need to stop looking at things that add multiplier and start looking at things that multiply multiplier. The worst joker in that build might only be adding +20 multiplier, which is only about 25% of your score. If you swap it out for a joker with x1.5 multiplier, you're going to get a much bigger boost.

And that's equivalent to a polychrome joker that does absolutely nothing else for you, there are much better multipliers available. There are also never any diminishing returns on multiplicative bonuses: if you play a level 4 flush and have a single joker that gives +20 multiplier it just tripled your score, but a second +20 multiplier joker only increases it a further 40%. But no matter how many x2 jokers you have they will always double your score, which racks up very quickly. The only caveat is that you still need a reasonable base score for the x2 jokers to fire off, if you get too greedy fishing for polychromes and big multipliers then you will hit the wall pretty quickly--you still can't neglect the need for base chips/multiplier.

tl;dr:

1. Pick up some jokers that add chips
2. Pick up some jokers that add multiplier
3. Pick up some jokers that multiply multiplier

I watched this the other day so I might be remembering it wrong, but the changes aren't to the scoring. His move only takes effect between scoring and calculating the additional money collected. So when it start scoring it "locks" the joker order for that purpose, but reads the new order when calculating funds. Unless I read that completely wrong while I was watching.

Kuros posted:

IT HAS BEEN COMPLETED!

195.4 hours, C++ and with that 100% achievements has been completed.

I started on June 23rd and have been mostly playing Balatro since to grind for the gold stickers.

Thoughts and strats on getting C++:

1. Pick a deck that's highly consistent in the early game or provides advantages that will make getting stickers easier. Blue, Yellow, Checkered, Ghost or Anaglyph are good choices. I got 60-70% of my gold stickers on Anaglyph.

2. Very very important, your only major goal is to complete Ante 8, you DO NOT CARE about endless when going for gold stickers.

3. With #2 in mind, you will need to play around Perishable and Rental stickers on purpose and take strategic skips when necessary. Example: If you're in Ante 7 you can clear 400k and a key joker expires in 3 rounds consider skipping rounds so it lasts until the Ante 8 boss.

4. Holding onto consumables in order to guarantee high scoring hands to clear higher antes is important. Having a Justice and Death card in pocket can help in a pinch.

5. Creating certain builds really helps with getting gold stickers, one very good one is Photochad (Photograph + Hanging Chad). Sure it loses to plant, but it's an 8x mult on your hand. Build up High Card/Pair and with another xMult joker it can carry you and leave you room to take a dud joker so you get the sticker on it. Also, being able to use a pocket Justice turns that 8x into 64x.

6. Anaglyph does make it easy to get a few stickers at a time, it's high risk and reward. Plus if you have a negative dud that you already have a gold sticker on, it's an easy choice for Verdant Leaf.

7. Focus on getting Rare & Uncommon stickers first if you can, having an open spot for a dud joker to sticker is much more valuable if you can put something like Campfire, Stone Joker, Glass Joker, Obelisk, etc. into that slot instead of a common. You can get commons easily to sticker from Negative tags.

8. Speaking on tags, skipping early on for Investment is typically worth it. Skipping for Coupon can be good as well. When using Anaglyph, sometimes you may need to forgo trying for the Negative tag and skip for something like Buffoon, Ethereal, Economy, Standard (If you're rocking Hologram), etc. If you're going into Ante 7/8 and there hasn't been any Negative tags to take, just take something good if you can by Small Ante 8.

9. Lastly, I highly suggest tracking your progress, here's a google doc sheet I found, make a copy and tag the jokers as you win with them: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jya_esAK7qQWNBN_ny7ihhVOS27LovcMGHwDvbW1G3w/edit?gid=1018042583#gid=1018042583

If there are any other questions I can answer them.

GoutPatrol posted:

301 hours.

I forgot to get a screenshot of the real final hand. I needed to complete another run before the trophy popped. Shame because was a really interesting deck, relying on 4ok wild card kings, a negative eternal flowerpot, and a negative eternal rental blueprint.



I did almost every gold sticker from 50-150 on anaglyph deck. I think that was the right move, and not just because of getting several negatives. Looking for an ante 1 25$ was the way to go, and hopefully getting a good economy tag in ante 2/3 was usually enough to save any run. Anaglyph deck turns any lovely economy tag into a passable one. It turns the "upgrade a hand by three levels" into an auto-win if you're getting it in ante 4/5. Like erratic deck, you get to do broken things when the extra tags create so much value. Draw over half your deck for the final boss using the hand size voucher? Free Chaos the Clown for the next six shops? And then I truly learned to appreciate the re-roll vouchers, not just to find the missing jokers, but in how much money they saved after 1-2 shops.

Final jokers totals:


An extra 100 hours and there wasn't a big change, except egg finally going down. I think Odd Todd would be next on the line. Card Sharp being the only uncommon, something which I started always picking up like Hanging Chad. I enjoy building up on one kind of hand (usually pair/two pair) during a run and don't like to pivot out, and Card Sharp played well with that. Easiest way to win with a normal run was finding a mult joker that scored on hands which got pumped up through Chad, then finding another xMult (probably a Throwback or Hologram) and then the final x3 from Card Sharp would beat most antes in 2 hands.

Chamale posted:

I have beaten Balatro. I got Yorick from a Charm tag in Ante 1, so he was up to 8x Mult by the end of Ante 8. I wound up doing a spade flush build, with Bull and a couple of interest vouchers giving me all the chips I needed.

I swapped out one of my jokers for the one that retriggers everything on the last hand played. I also recently bought the voucher that drops the ante at the expense of -1hand. My dumbass immediately miscounted how many hands I had left and I played high card instead of 5 of a kind completely punting my run at ante 12.

I hope someone who has more than a timeshare of a single braincell can take this seed to it's true potential.

Dr. Mantis Toboggan posted:

I think I hit a new record for the thread.



Seed is in the screenshot if you want to try it out with the Ghost Deck, White Stakes.

Final Jokers were:


Yorick
Perkeo
Triboulet
Sock and Buskin
Negative Driver's License
Blueprint
Polychrome Brainstorm


Gameplay spoilers:

I ended up getting a Cryptid and an Eris (flush five planet) in my inventory, and with Blueprint+Brainstorm+Perkeo I was able to make 3 copies between the two every time I left the shop. Eventually I got a Polychrome King which I copied a bunch, then I made one of them glass and copied that one a bunch, then I got to add a Red Seal to one of them and copied that a few times, but the Ante 14 boss was The Plant and ruined all my Kings before I was able to ever play a 5x Glass Red Seal Polychrome King Hand.

For Joker ordering I think the optimal was the following:

Triboulet, Sock and Buskin, Blueprint, Brainstorm, Driver's License, Yorick

Flush Five was somewhere around level 15-20, so I around 550x50 or something like that. I'll say 500x50 for ease of math. Had I been able to play a full Flush Five of Polychrome, Glass, Red Sealed Kings, it would have been the following:

Base: 500x50
For each King:
+10 chips, x2 (Triboulet), x2 (Blueprint), x2 (Brainstorm), x1.5x (Polychrome), x2 (Glass)
(Total +10 chips, x24 mult)
repeat all of the above from Red Seal
(Total +20 chips, x576 mult)
repeat all of the above from Sock and Buskin
(Total +40 chips, x 331776 mult)

Do that all 5 times
(Total +200 chips, x4019988717840603673710821376 mult)

x3 mult from Driver's License, x1.5 mult from Polychrome Brainstorm, x5 mult from Yorick

(Total +200 chips, x90449746151413582658493480960 mult)
+500 chips and x50 mult from the base hand
=
700 chips x 4522487307570679132924674048000 mult
or
Score: 3.16574e+33 chips


I'm so sad I didn't get to play the best possible hand, but this was amazing fun either way.

Don't think I'll ever see these heights again.
The two copy Jokers and DNA to generate (3 new kings per match) a deck mostly of Red Seal, Holographic (not Polychrome ), Glass Kings. This is why most played is High Card - my winning hands were all Flush Five or Four of a Kinds.
During the matches the copyjokers switch to copying one each of Sock and Buskin and the X2 Mult for scored Kings and Queens Legendary, for complicated mathematical reasons that I kind of get but the excellent Balatro simulator helped me confirm (add Five of a Kind please, could only run the numbers with 4). A smattering of other jokers, one the X2 Mult to first played face card, that was an extra little boost but at those heights I was looking very specifically for retriggering or ways to get the last few non UltraKing cards out of my deck. Everything else was pretty irrelevant.

Ghost Deck, spectrals make breaking the game way easier.

Yeah, but when it works well it works REALLY REALLY well


Though who knows, maybe a regular deck would have been just as good. Triboulet is pretty awesome.

Lemon posted:

Finally got my first E score!



This was when I realised I might have a good run on my hands.

I'd gotten to about Ante 6 or 7 with Campfire, but dropped it for either Hologram or Vampire, I forget which came first.

Previous to this point, I'd also had Cartomancer which created a Tarot card each blind, which fed Fortune Teller directly, and Vampire indirectly through the enhanced cards.

Marble Joker added a Stone card each blind, which directly fed Hologram, and again indirectly fed Vampire with the stone cards.

I also had vouchers that gave me more interest, cheaper cards in the store, and the ability to buy playing cards from the store, so I could just pour cards into Hologram.



The next couple of shops went nuts. Cavendish just did it's thing and I'd been playing pretty much just pairs up until that point, so I had a huge window with Obelisk. I had enough econ that I didn't need Marble joker to create enhanced cards for me, I could just buy packs to increase the flat mult on Fortune Teller then 5 mult multipliers after that should go crazy.

By the end I had around 75 mult x 3.5 x 3 x 15 x 17 x 17 and finished up in Ante 14.



As always, an element of luck with getting the jokers in the first place, but it definitely felt like a run that I was able to build from the knowledge of the game I'd built up, knowing when to pivot and such.

Irony Be My Shield posted:

The wild thing is that a Vampire + Blueprint setup is still only quadratic scaling (or quartic scaling on the Plasma Deck, I guess) and will rapidly fall behind the greater-than-exponential-growth of the blinds. One of the "in-hand" multiplication builds seems like the only real way to stack multiplications repeatedly and get a long way into Endless - I had one just now which got me to Ante 14 and probably could've got me further if I managed my deck better/I didn't get really unlucky on one of the blinds and fail to get a hand full of Kings for the first time in ages.

uPen posted:

Beat Ante 14 for the first time ever with Blueprint/Brainstorm/Hologram/Burned/DNA. Got high card leveled up to the 90s with a deck that contained 80+ Red tag/holo/Steel aces.

Deck was already producing e numbers at the end of ante 8, feels like I could have gone a lot further if I transitioned from upgrading high card to upgrading flush 5 with Burned around then. I have a lot of trouble swapping hands, feels wrong to give up dozens of levels on a hand in the hope your new hand will outscale it 6 rounds from now assuming you survive till then with your 'primary' hand no longer scaling up.

e: Thinking about it would flush 5 even be better than just holding 4 extra red tag/steel cards in hand? Game rules.

New best run on white stake/yellow deck: a deck consisting entirely of queens of hearts, half steel and half glass. Two triboulets doubling multiplier for every queen I play for x32 each, campfire with a stupid economy for x6-10, a polychrome family for x6, and a steel joker for x4.5. And it still died to the first blind of ante 14, getting 9.3e11 with an optimal hand out of 2.9e13 needed and ending at a mere 2e12. I think to take it further I would have needed mime and/or seltzer bottle and/or red seals... Still, at least I got the ROI and flushed achievements at the same time.

Sockser posted:

In a situation like this, where most of your points are coming from cards left in your hand, yeah, you should just be playing high card. That would be two more queens in your hand, each of them multiplying your mult by 1.5 twice, vs whatever base mult you're getting from 3 of a Kind.
Also, you've got Perkeo, but nothing in your inventory. That's a massive mistake, Perkeo is incredibly powerful and you should always have at least one card sitting around even if it's just to sell them

At the start of Ante 18, a spectral pack offered me an ectoplasm
"Oh, brilliant!" says I, not thinking about the consequences of -2 hand size


Alas.

Ayy I did it. Spent too much time adding cards to my deck before I got the Baron, but not bad for my first time past ante 12 small blind. Went through like 20 hands digging for Mimic in the shop with no luck. Probably should have dropped the Burnt Joker earlier but I couldn't resist temptation to keep double leveling high card every hand.

godogg posted:

Finally unlocked Stuntman and got my first e-value hand, thanks to Shoot the Moon, Mime, Hologram, Obelisk, and Blueprint. Also Burnt Joker for the first 7 antes and Square Joker for the first 3. I made it to ante 13!

Made it to scientific notation for the first time. 5e24, crashed out on the boss blind of ante 16. If I had managed to slip a red tag into my king duping engine it would have been something amazing.

Necronomicon posted:

I finally got into scientific notation scoring on a pretty wild run. I played Anaglyph with the intent of getting a ton of negative jokers via double tags, and got a Perkeo in like the first shop, and over time managed to get an entire deck full of polychrome steel kings, with Mime to double the steel and Blueprint + Brainstorm + Baron to stack a bajillion 1.5x bonuses off of everything in hand. Unfortunately I never found any red seals and I imagine they would have helped me get up into Ante 17 and beyond, but my best hand was 3.311e19 and by god I’m probably gonna take a little break from this game now that I’ve done that. I ended up with 24 jokers total but ironically not a single one of the negatives ended up being all that important to the strategy.

On a side note I really appreciate how the game can be rewarding both for trying to put together absolutely obscene high scoring runs but also for getting through white knuckle tense runs in high stakes.

LifeLynx posted:

The hunt is over, I got into high Es. Blueprint and Brainstorm on Baron, which had to be on the left for Brainstorm to work, which aside from a handful of non-red-seal kings was the only thing keeping me from going to whatever the end of Balatro is.

Panic! At The Tesco posted:

finally got my first e numbers. fun as hell watching all those red seal steel kings trigger multiple times as it speeds up.

WhiteHowler posted:

Just had my best run, somehow lucking into a red seal steel king deck without really hunting for it initially. I got a ridiculous economy via Gold Mask and the "all cards are face cards" joker, and from there was able to reroll my way into some higher antes.



I could have gone further but never saw a Brainstorm, and I had to sell my Showman to get past the boss blind.

Really fun run. I'm probably never beating my last four challenges.

Tonetta posted:

I finally broke blind 14 but ngl I can't even see a chance on me climbing any higher. the joker setup was the dice, then 3 cats + 2 copy jokers @ ~38x multi. I think I'll wait for next patch to try cause goddamn this run was almost perfect and it still isn't even close to breaking ante 16

Man, that was an insane run. I've included the seed if anyone else is interested in trying it out.

AlphaKeny1 posted:

Finally made it to e notation! Got a pretty early Perkeo with Brainstorm, and then 2 antes later picked up a Baron and immediately switched to steel kings by making 2 death tarots per round. Was able to get a red seal on a regular king and then kept opening tarot packs until I could turn it into steel. In ante 9 I got a mime and that was pretty much it. Felt so good.

Perry Mason Jar posted:

Just got my first e!!! 7.380e11 baby

Too bad the Ante 13 boss was No Repeat Handtypes, killing my run. High Card was like lvl 115 or something

Set up: Plasma Deck, Blue Stake (incidental, I was not specifically trying to e). Early (round 1?) Burnt Joker. Spectral shop in (I believe) next shop was Ankh. Dupe Burnt. High Card. Telescope. Buff High Card. Eventually (don't remember when) pull DNA. Pull Brainstorm. Pull Mime.

Move jokers around so Brainstorm: triple levels High Card per discard. Two copies of Steel Club King (never did find a red seal) per DNA. Then doubled Mime for the actual scoring. In Ante 12 (pretty sure) found Blueprint. Put left of Brainstorm. Had to sell a Burnt so still triple level High Card per discard, but three Steel Kings per DNA, three Mime triggers.

Made a few misplays from distraction/moving too quick so High Card could've gotten maybe 6-10 levels higher? And I could've printed two additional Kings but played more than one card. Still, very difficult to clear one hand type boss at that high an Ante. Maybe you can? Or maybe one day I'll try it again, but for today I can stop playing Balatro happy.

My highest scoring hand before this was 10.5mil so, lmao. Unlocked Showman and the 12 Ante voucher - let's go!

Jossar posted:

Well, there's my sci-not run! Was starting to think that I'd never get one of these things. I forgot to reroll The Plant, so I might have been able to go one Ante higher, but I probably wasn't getting any further than that unless I'd been able to convert my deck to Polychrome Red Seal Glass/Steel Kings within a ludicrously short time span.

Nucular Carmul posted:

Finally hit the E score club with Sock and Buskin, the legendary that gives x2 multi when a king or queen scores, and blueprint to copy that. Ended up going with a full house build with kings and queens. I may have thrown the opportunity to get past ante 14 because I wasn't sure if I should pivot to a five of a kind or even flush five, but by the time it seemed likely to do I already had 20 levels in full house. The thing is though I kept getting kings and queens in various forms pretty evenly, the biggest gap in the numbers at one point was like 15 kings and 13 queens. Couldn't find enough deck cutting and waffled too much so I just stuck with full house.

Popete posted:

I finally joined the exponential club and beat ante 13 thanks to a blueprint and Perkeo combined with the voucher that gives x1.5 mult for each planetary card held in hand that matches.

WhatEvil posted:

Had a pretty decent round. Broke my score record.

Learned something new:

Photograph's "first scored face card grants 2x mult" also triggers if your first face card gets retriggered. So it was getting triggered 3 additional times from Chad and Seltzer, so that was 16x mult from Photograph, from another 16x from Triboulet, and another 16x from Blueprint = 4096x mult just from the first played face card.

I also had DNA for a while in the run so I was duping glass kings and queens. I also got tons of planets so I levelled up 2-Pair, 3oaK, FH, 4oaK, 5oaK (and also Straight) a bunch. I think 3oaK was at like level 13 or something by the time I finished. Helped to get that initial mult up for the multipliers.

I think my record hand was with like 3-4 glass cards and it was either a FH of 5oaK. I also tried to make as many of my non-King/Queen cards Steel, including at least one with a Red Seal.

This was on Purple stake, so didn't have to arse around with rentals/perishable.

E: Oh and the Seed was LCQC252G in case anybody wants to try it - though I can't remember which pack I got Triboulet on. I think it was just an Arcana pack fairly early on.

Zoracle Zed posted:

I finally beat gold stake plasma deck, and managed to get into scientific notation for the first time as well. Got a permanent hitchhiker in the first or second blind, and then a triboulet in ante 2 or 3 allowed a king/queen full house to carry me most of the way to ante 8. Around there I got a red seal on one of the kings and pivoted to flush five, with blueprint and brainstorm doubling up the triboulet. Got up to e32 before loving up my joker order but I don’t think it going going to make much more than low e33.

Shout out to diced bloodstoned (and occasionally glassed with some help from chad and the opposite of the blueprint joker) flush fives for the help.

Chamale posted:

I died to The Arm on Ante 12 in the game I just posted about. I got unlucky with lots of my glass jokers self-destructing, and then my cards weren't enough to score 2.4 billion. My best hand in that playthrough was 4,005,000,000 - still nowhere close to my best ever, which was 2.018*10^22 with Triboulet*, Hanging Chad**, and Photograph***.

*: Kings and Queens give 2X mult when scored
**: First played card gets re-scored two additional times
***: First scored face card gives 2X mult

Aggro posted:

I just had the most blessed run that I've gotten in ages. Playing Plasma Deck, Red Stakes. Didn't really have much going until Ante 4, and then the deck just went bonkers. Despite having a deck of entirely clubs, playing a Flush Five still took down The Club in one hand. And the boss was Verdant Leaf which again didn't matter.

I ended up with Triboulet, Yorick, and Caneo. All of them became Holographic or Polychrome because Wheel of Fortune hit four times. I also had DNA which I kept the whole time to keep making more Glass Queens. I used a Trading Card to get rid of all of my other face cards, and then either Hanged Man or Death took care of the rest. By the high Antes, my deck was nothing but Glass Queens and Steel 10s. I had Flush Five up to level 9. Yorick ended up at a 14x modifier. Caneo was at 38x.

Best hand was 8.519e18 which was 4 Glass Queens + 1 Glass Polychrome Queen, and 4 Steel 10s in hand. Finally lost on Round 42 when playing 4 Flush Fives in a row wasn't good enough.

I imagine the only way to get higher than that would've been to get a Red Seal on the Glass Polychrome Queen and dupe that, or luck into a Negative Baron and get Steel Kings in my hand. I didn't see a Negative Joker tag until Ante 13.

Dear Jongleurs Magazine, I never thought it would happen to me...

I've not played the game for a short while, but I've been keeping up with the thread and watching a few streams. So I was keen to apply the knowledge I'd absorbed when I booted it back up. I went to the trouble of deliberately unlocking Brainstorm in a throwaway game, and it wasn't long before that paid off in a real run.

At the crucial Ante 7 shop, I had this already stacked line-up plus a melting Ice Cream.


Opened the Tarot pack and there was the second soul of the run!


Then I re-rolled the shop and this happened:


I couldn't believe it...was the right play to sell a legendary? A holomorphic legendary that I'd already scaled to x4? I took a deep breath and committed to it. Then one more re-roll later I saw a Wheel and spun it


This was a sign, the gods had approved the decision and restored my holomorphic joker count. My next hand...

...melted the boss and unlocked Stuntman


Victory was assured, and I went on well into endless. Perhaps I should have ditched Photograph but I left the line-up as seen, focused on shaping the deck and levelling up Flush House. Got to Ante 14 before I wiped - recognising the danger and pivoting hard into glass might have kept the run going a bit further. But still, a number of PBs, and a seed if anyone fancies a look:

Like it or not, this is what peak performance looks like, ladies.



First shop had the card that gives you three dollars and deletes the card if your first discard is only one card, and well, numbered cards can basically get hosed. By the end of that run, Erosion had +124 mult, and I had a 100% chance of playing the card my Idol joker pointed to that round. But that's only an X2 multiplier so deck topped out at ante 10 on red stake. Fun though.

I got another duplicate right after this pic so that's 6 cards with steel and red stamp which also get retriggered by the negative Mime. At the same time all of my J's (many of them glass) get retriggered too which means a lot of base mult before the steel kicks in (and very high chip value from the +chips joker). If I can get more glass/steel and hand size and a good multiplier joker to replace my +chips joker, then we'll really be in business!

Discord announcement posted:

Demo Pause & Playtest channel
Hello @everyone , I want to announce 2 big updates:

The demo will be paused at the end of the week (Friday or Saturday). It will be available again before Steam Next Fest in October - with a ton of new updates. I am pausing the demo because the release for Balatro is still many months away and focusing on playtesting and content is more important at this stage than getting it out there for everyone to play.

I understand this is frustrating because the release doesn't line up with when many of you want to start playing, but know that I have my game's best interest in mind and I am in it for the long haul.


With the upcoming release of 0.8.8 - a fairly major update - I am making a playtester-only channel for future announcements that pertain to the playtest.
If you are a playtester, please click on the button below to join the channel
If you are a demo player, you can join but you will be just be getting notifications about content updates for the playtest.

I appreciate all the support and the kind words, thank you all for your understanding and patience. Know that I am working around the clock to get this game ready for release ❤️🃏

This game rocks. I've seen people say it could be a new Slay the Spire in terms of longevity and based on how often I find myself going "goddamn I wish I was playing Balatro right now", I'm kinda coming around to it.

One small gripe I have is that I feel like Royal Flush is really underpowered relative to how much effort you have to put in to get it. I feel like it almost takes less effort to produce a deck that can consistently play Flush Houses and that hands VOMITS out points relatively.

Showing me cool looking pictures of Jokers and not even telling me what they do so I can't even fantasize about possible builds is cancel culture, in my opinion.
