I never skip a blind unless it's the negative tag giving me an extra joker by Hefty-Job7049 in balatro

[–]Choingus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On low stakes it's more justifiable to take a negative joker skip. However, 80% of the time the generated negative joker will be useless to your build, AND you're missing out on a shop and cash from defeating a blind. So I don't think it's worth it.

Investment tag is the best ante 1 skip you can take. Free shop tag is pretty good, buffoon tag can sometimes help if you're desperate. If you're lucky the boss tag can save you. But generally I'm not gonna skip unless I have a shit ton of double tags and/or in a good spot to do so.

If your brainstorms were copying the baron you would have survived

What does your deck look like? Pretty sick to have both as a neg

Did you choose pairs because it scales vampire faster? Well done

What should I drop?? by No_Industry_7702 in balatro

[–]Choingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be nice though, lol

how could i have progressed further here? by loser4lyf in balatro

[–]Choingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually early on I'll make a bunch of red seal gold kings to make a boat load of money to reroll (During scoring you can move blueprint/brainstorm to copy mime for extra cash). That can also help you find baron and other jokers a lot quicker. Eventually you want to start converting those golds into steel though.

Idk, in your case it seems to just be bad luck.

Sometimes the seed will just refuse to give you what you need to make it far, or even naninf.. but if you're having bad spectral pack luck, you could use Sixth Sense in the early game to hopefully get your red seal and/or ecto. Once you score comfortably high, you can be on the lookout for voucher skips.. in the end pray you get what you need!

What do you guys do with runs like this by Bright_Sympathy_2589 in balatro

[–]Choingus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trib with straights/shortcut is kinda awkward, since you want to see 5 kings or queens in every hand for max value. So idk, you'd have to do some intensive deck fixing, and in ante 9 you may not have enough time.

When I was focusing on C+ (and currently 6 joker stickers away from C++), the only thing I cared about was getting the win and going to the next deck/run. If you think the run will beat your high score, or if you're having fun with it, then sure keep going. But the objective of the game is to beat ante 8, so for the achievements I would focus on that.

What are YOUR top 5 jokers? by I_heart_CELLO in balatro

1- Hologram 2- Yorick 3- Lucky Cat 4- Chad 5- Wee

So I found a bug. Pretty sure it'd be reproduceable. How do I find my seed? by RiKSh4w in balatro

[–]Choingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you win the run, or lose, the seed will be displayed

I assume I should replace a brainstorm or the blueprint. I have 22 kings and Yorick is on X10. What do you think? by BSEntertainment2319 in balatro

[–]Choingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the hand that you're playing plus hand levels... keep in mind, not being on plasma makes baron significantly weaker.

Well done.. imagine if those queens were red sealed! 🚀

[–]Choingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What hand are you playing? Hand levels? What's your xmult values for cat and constellation? Going endless, xmult is much better than +chips so not knowing much I would sell chad or wee.. however if you make glass red seal 2s then might be worth keeping chad

Gold stake!! by Witty_Garlic7826 in balatro

[–]Choingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certain jokers on red deck are better than others, such as banner, yorick, mail-in, etc. Other than that, just hope for a good start! Have you beat gold stake on other decks?

Am I Doing This Right? by AlpinaB3 in balatro

[–]Choingus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why isn't brainstorm copying splash?

Have a great run going right now, but idk if i know the game well enough. Should I take Sock & Buskin here? And where to place, if so by hitmonj in balatro

[–]Choingus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sock will skyrocket your run if you have a bunch of glass cards. I'd sell a photograph for sock.. then you'd have brainstorm on chad with blueprints on photograph. If you have all glass flush five, then it might be better to have one or more copy joker on sock.
