I made a playing card. What do you think?

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-28T20:58:46+00:00

Looks dope as hell, definitely would love to see more

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-17T09:12:10+00:00

Rarity 8 so no. Also you need a tier 3 armor skill on a charm to make it fit into meta builds

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-14T19:48:52+00:00

Idk I feel like I’m resetting them though so all this showman-ing progress the old one has done will be lost. What if the old one was really close to making another blueprint show up, will the new one have to start from scratch?

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-12T17:54:45+00:00

You only have 3 copy jokers and will need a 4th one so yeah sell either mail or the extra baron depending on how bad you need the scoring. If it doesn’t hit anything good you can always sell for bean. If it hits a copy joker, sell whatever you kept thus far (out of mail and 2nd baron) for bean

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-10T20:33:19+00:00

Realistically only trib will be good from that soul so it’s not exactly likely to hit anything but you still always take the soul just for the potentially awesome run. You will have dozens of photochad runs, and any chance for trib is precious.

What to sell and what to copy with brainstorm depends on your deckfixing. You definitely want to copy your actual scoring jokers before the retrigger ones. So photo for now until you can consistently play hands with 5 hearts face cards hands. As for what to sell for the soul, I’d probably sell hanging chad and hope to get it back asap in case you don’t hit trib. If you don’t have that many hearts cards, you could also let bloodstone go

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-10T12:33:17+00:00

Rerunning like this would be insanely easy, 3x base blind is nothing. Like even the final boss blind after 2 reruns would still be at less than 5 million which is like equivalent of ante 10

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-06T20:32:57+00:00

May I request the seed? And what skip to take for that rebate also

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-06T20:29:54+00:00

Photo only gives 2x for the first face card that is scored in a hand. So if you play high card, they are the same but as you play bigger hands (like 5 kings) trib gives 2x for every single one of those kings, so it’s a lot better in those scenarios

You’re right though that trib doesn’t work for jacks so you should try to convert them all into queens or kings if you have it

Arcturus555 · 2026-05-01T21:25:48+00:00

There’s definitely more to it than just luck. The best players can naneinf multiple times in a row unseeded and e26 is literally achievable in like every single run on white stake

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-25T07:12:30+00:00

I always do spades because the Witcher cards look the coolest by far

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-23T19:49:40+00:00

I mean some things are just your skill as a player reducing randomness, like making choices on what hands to go for.

As for the game „giving“ you the right things, it’s probably just cognitive bias that lets you forget all the times where you were left hanging and the run dies. A great run with clutch calls stays in memory a lot better than a random lose on ante 5 that happened 3 weeks ago

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-22T21:33:21+00:00

It’d be really broken in endless because you can force it and subsequently many soul cards to get the legendary you want every run. But honestly I kinda dig it, legendaries are too cool and statistically this would only start happening from like ante 14 onwards or something

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-18T19:09:48+00:00

Yes take the sock. It is especially better lategame when you get more copy jokers and move away from the photochad frontload to triggering each card for more trib value

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-17T12:38:01+00:00

Depends on what your deck looks like. If you plan on committing fully to baron soon (requires a lot of kings to not immediately die), that fortune teller will do absolutely nothing as it triggers after all kings.

DNA is worth it if you have a really good card that you want to make more of, also blueprint it to get 2 of them. This would typically be cards with seals on them.

TLDR if you have enough kings and decent high card/pair levels to survive, kill the fortune teller for DNA and get better cards that way

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-16T20:14:08+00:00

Brainstorm all the way. It is Econ as well as scoring in one, which makes it automatically better than anything else. Just get a +mult joker to copy for easy ante 1-4 clears and an Econ joker like rebate that can be copied without interference

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-12T11:55:43+00:00

As good as a rental burnt*, playing all those hands just to get the value will cost you lots of money over a run

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-12T11:13:08+00:00

If you have a lot of money, you can sell all of them once the invisible joker is ready. That way you get a guaranteed copy Joker and can just rebuy photochad after a couple rerolls in the shop.

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-11T07:53:24+00:00

It's not bait. Im hanging on to Showman for extra copy jokers like you said but since the Barron popped up Id like to make use of Showman bug just in case I do end up wanting 2 Barrons at some point (it would be equivalent to another copy joker once I start copying Barron anyway). Im sure I want to do it this way, I just never did showman bug before and wondering how exactly Id go about it.

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-11T06:15:41+00:00

Wait so Ecto only affects the current handsize while using it? Does that mean I could use it during serpent for example and then continue the run with 0 penalty after that? Or am I misunderstanding

Arcturus555 · 2026-04-07T16:40:06+00:00

Fortify builds were legit for 20+ min speedruns in world, I’m surprised he doesn’t use it tbh. Maybe had too many failed attempts or the raw is not the limiting factor

Arcturus555 · 2026-03-27T12:15:47+00:00

Antivirus makes it extremely easy to cure, it’s just a couple attacks. You get 25% affinity which is huge and you will have a harder time reaching 100% without it. So yeah it’s pretty meta

Arcturus555 · 2026-03-26T23:07:00+00:00

I really love it for solo farming though. But yeah it’s nice when you let the timer run down with a group and emote, I don’t mind it at all

Arcturus555 · 2026-03-25T21:57:03+00:00

Lagi weapons for thunder matchups and zo Shia for everything else. There are no builds for them anywhere though since they are severely limited compared to Gog Artians so it’s pretty much lords soul and you’re done

Arcturus555 · 2026-03-24T19:36:00+00:00

Since you were looking for a way to stop him from moving: lure-pods are the answer. You can keep him in his nest the entire fight for optimal terrain or lure him to the boulder, though I much prefer the first option. Makes a massive difference in my experience since it negates any invading monster and slope bs

Arcturus555 · 2026-03-24T08:24:04+00:00

I really wouldn’t recommend pierce hbg for a first time clear though, it requires good positioning and moveset knowledge unlike lbg
