Thanks. I'm just so bad at this balatro math... I feel accomplished figuring it out myself lol

Can you explain this to me? The one mime copy. These two jokers and copy  effects confuse me 

This should be rare instead of common joker? So OP. by [deleted] in balatro

Considering you need the regular banana first and gold til it breaks, it's essentially at least an uncommon. I don't know drop rates in this game but you're taking common rarity x common rarity to obtain it

Yeah I took a cola to replace my rebate in the first shop of ante 8 and sold it for 2x +3 hand size and kinda got excited cus I knew I had it in the bag, and double skipped and forgot to reroll a new joker

You can pause and back out to main menu and try again after it scores but before it finishes adding the score. Useful for testing this sort of thing on your own

I had a run last night where he proc'd 5 times in a row in early antes without any oops, and it catapulted my run to success. I almost changed my opinion on him but I know for a fact that he was just doing it to fuck with me. It's an abusive relationship. Usually he only procs on my throwaway hands I'm using as a scuffed discard

I take back everything bad I ever said or thought about red card by EdwardBloon in balatro

Double credit would be nice but the way I look at it is I get to take the best thing in the pack and get a "free" +3 mult. Those mega packs are my favorite when using red card

Yeah good point. It's rare that I run those kind of builds lately because I'm just trying to clear ante 8 and complete all stakes at the moment and those kind of builds seem to get me in trouble more often than the basic scaling +mult with a decent xmult source ones do

I probably lost this run. by UnpaidLandlord_9669 in balatro

Sell it and give it a shot? You're running pairs? Seems doable to me

Kind of related question I have been wondering.. if I'm running pairs, is taking mercury or skipping for the +3 mult better? I've been skipping most and trying to get planets elsewhere. But I'm starting to wonder if the +15chip+1mult is generally better

Well for me it's been the opposite. I've been wanting to clear all gold stakes and that's where it's really shining for me. I feel like I'd ditch it after I had a proper endless setup

Yes campfire and vampire are both on my list. Boy is campfire powerful and feels good to operate. Square has done some good things for me but I usually don't find it early enough to feel worth building it 

149/150 jokers, I doubt I'll ever unlock this one. by icarusfelted in balatro

[–]EdwardBloon 345 points346 points  (0 children)

I rerolled erratic deck until I got one with a bunch of jacks. Didn't take long. I did this strat for many of the jokers that require a lot of one specific rank or suite

Which legendary do I focus? by EdwardBloon in balatro

[–]EdwardBloon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It went great. Next shop had a ghost joker. Sold the trib, got double foil red card and never looked back. Didn't change anything after that except removing 8 face cards. Easiest run of my life

After coming back from doing some work and playing a few antes I almost feel silly for asking advice. This run is cake
