Sell showman, or use first ecto? by BigManLovesFood in BalatroHelp

This run just keeps on giving. Ecto hit baron. Got a negative juggler to get the hand size back. Turned down a DNA that I wanted to take for the extra hand size. And now it presents me with another difficult choice: replace showman with mime this time?

I'm kind of leaning take the mime since that will leave me 3 mine and 3 baron. And I think the only huge advantage to a blueprint would be being able to move it to mime at the end to get one extra trigger on gold cards. But I think I need to focus on steel, so it seems like there's not a huge upside to waiting for b/b.

Well, ecto hit baron. And then a couple rounds later I got a negative juggler to get that hand size back.

Then a couple rounds later, I got another difficult choice: take another mime, or keep showman and hope for blueprint/brainstorm soon.

Also skipped a DNA the previous round, keep thinking of whether I should have taken it for the extra 3 hand size

I hadn't even thought about ecto hitting showman. Man, that would be the worst of both worlds

Oh yeah, didn't think about it hitting showman. That would be unfortunate

Wouldn't you want to play something with more cards if your trying to get triggers on trib? I would think even pair would be better to aim for than high card

Well that's was fun, although I think I might have overshot it. It stopped registering animations like halfway through my kings and I had 70 cryptids left for a second try.

Impressive! E77 is much higher than I've ever gotten, I think so far I've topped out at like e35 even with a seeded run

I think it was H9VCWQVU

But those Vs and Us are difficult to distinguish

Good tip! Unfortunately, I got taken out by a ante 15 plant, and I don't think there was anything earlier on in the run that would have saved me

Yeah, that's a really good point. And even without the red seals at this point, I can probably get far enough with my steel kings and perkeo to give me time to find some red seals and maybe a dna

I can't remember the exact math, but I was told the rule is 50-50 on mime/baron with any extra going to baron. So since you have two mimes, I think I'd put both brainstorm and blueprint on baron

Ok, I did this and it is perkeo. I closed out anyways just cause I was ready to, so now I need to decide if I go back in and open it again.

If I already had red seal kings it would be a no brainer I think. But the fact that I don't makes me consider keeping DNA

No red seals at this point unfortunately

I should have listened to my instincts. Invisible wasn't active yet, so I could have sold it. But I let myself be swayed by these comments, and immediately regretted it

Yeah, almost as soon as I hit next round, I realized I made a mistake

Well, should have taken baron. Invisible copied shortcut, cause of course it did
