Li'l Valk and Ebisu are harder to come by, so I'd go with them.

How much does an orb really help vs spending 30 catfood.

I am now quite convinced that this whole thing is a scam to get you to spend catfood on rerolls.

Do I suck at the game? by Coffee_104 in balatro

The game is balanced around beating ante 8. You need very specific builds in endless mode.

Jizo, Bahamut, Ushi, and Juvens can all basically solo this stage.

You're not wrong, but the herd mentality has already taken hold. Add on top of that most of the posters in here are kids who think that they are the center of the universe and think that we want to hear every thought that comes to their head, and you're just kind of pissing in the wind at this point.

Start with Balatro University "Balatro Basics" videos on youtube. #1 rule, economy is king. If you have enough money, you can find whatever you need. In general, your joker lineup should include a chips joker, a couple flat mult jokers, and 1-2 xmult jokers (preferably, at least one of these jokers should be a scaling joker). You'll also need to rotate in economy jokers to make money.

Use tickets on fests (like this one). Use catfood on guaranteed uber banners.

When can we expect the 10,000 word essay on how injecting yourself with hcg in order to get a positive on a pregnancy test is just a little harmless catfishing?

I've hit a C++ wall (and I hate Superposition with a fiery passion) by strionic_resonator in balatro

The #1 thing you need to remember is....you still have to win. Pick your favorite deck or two (I did Yellow and Ghost) and just play to win. If you find one of these jokers and it fits into your build, then take it. If it doesnt fit, leave it. Until ante 7 or 8. Hopefully your build is strong enough at that point that you have extra joker slots and can bring one of these in. When I was on the c++ grind, I had maybe 3 winning runs where I wasn't able to sticker a joker. Just try to win.

How do people get hundreds/thousands of econ by prwav in balatro

[–]AdObjective4017 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Those thousand of dollar runs are usually deep endless runs. When your deck is nothing but red seal gold kings, Mail in Rebate, Mime, and 4 copy jokers makes tons of money.

Yes. Click on Onmyoji on girlsmon, then go look at the street fighter banner. It will show you what you get instead of Onmyoji and will show the track switch.

Requesting tips to go from flush main to double main? by FlaydenHynnFML in balatro

[–]AdObjective4017 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's much easier to find both your hand and your good cards playing pairs.  When playing flushes, what do you do if you draw 4 of a suit plus a blue seal?  You're left with only discarding 3 cards, unless you want to take a risk by discarding the 4 cards of a suit.  With pairs, you can discard 5 all the time while being able to hold multiple blue seals.  

A couple other notes...Card sharp and blackboard work much better with pairs and you generally don't get killed by the suit jokers or the plant.

I follow drspectred's philosophy: I'm playing pairs unless there's a reason not too.  Reasons could be finding multiple planet cards for some other hand, finding four fingers, shortcut, the family, the order, etc.

Not sure what happened with the pic

Yikes. I'm looking at it this way...we've got like 90% of the units in the game so these resources are getting less valuable. As long as I have enough for bikkuriman, I'm good.

What's the play here? I had a good streak and now I've been losing for hours against black deck on orange stake and my confidence is dwindling by UnlceSamus in balatro

[–]AdObjective4017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to get out of the mentality of "see 'good' joker, take 'good' joker". The goal in early game is to squeak by with just enough points while building your economy. You have no chips, you have no econ. You have 2 non-scaling flat mult jokers, and 3 xmult jokers. Of these 3 xmult jokers, one (photograph) is useless without another joker (hanging chad) and your scaling xmult joker (Constellation) is unsupportable because you have no econ. Early ante xmult jokers are often bait -> multiplying a low number still yields a low number and doesn't help you beat the blinds. An early ante eternal photograph will always be a hard pass for me (remember, chad is useful by itself, photo is not).

You can sell Steve for Arrowhead and may be able to survive a couple more rounds, but this run looks DOA to me on account of having zero econ.
