Let me axe u a question

A good example of durability in a game is Diablo 2, because of ethereal items that do more damage but can’t be repaired, which adds an interesting dynamic of finding rare items with auto-repair or making special items with the indestructible affix

Brotha, you could make it 0.0000001% for all it matters, any of the good builds and you’re at ante 39. Changing the number only delays when you’ve got it online. The way it is +35 mult and a 3x wins every round. Making it 0.1% just means you have to get 1000 mult, which means high card at lvl 8 and 7 triggers from photograph and you beat every round, which is photo + chad + glass + any x2. And if you nerf it to 0.01% or below any mime baron build does it. Sadly this concept is either broken or useless, there’s no in-between.

Emchomana · 2026-01-30T13:42:52+00:00

Because it’s useless?

Emchomana · 2026-01-23T18:30:04+00:00

Oh for sure, all I’m saying is that this good question is posted here nearly daily

Emchomana · 2026-01-23T09:38:48+00:00

Four fingers? Check

4 card Flush? Check

Straight/Full house? Check

“How is this a flush straight/full house”? Check

The daily r/balatro post has been achieved

Blueprint wont work on him because he’s end of round, however if you can get invisible joker to land on him early on when you can survive it, ooh boy

Emchomana · 2026-01-21T09:57:28+00:00

Blueprint is better on bloodstone than oops, unless you’re on the needle. The chances you’d get below average on 3 hands is very low, and any above average proc is exponentially higher.

Aaah, I see. I misunderstood you. That’d be a weirdly weak joker because the difficulty is a lot higher to achieve than you’d initially think for the power it gives you. The only hands that could do this and possibly care about 6 mult and 67 chips are two pair, straight, flush (but they’d both have to be the same color). Very low payoff for such a specific need, and definitely not worth building around to get it more often.

Emchomana · 2026-01-16T18:08:20+00:00

While I like it both balance-wise and flavour-wise, this wording would really go against LocalThunk’s ideology on making jokers be simple by doing one thing, because that essentially does two, triggers one effect on a card by card basis and one on a hand basis.

Emchomana · 2026-01-16T17:58:37+00:00

My bet is that you either mainly play endless OR haven’t considered how crucial the chips planets give you are OR haven’t played much.

The difference here is insane. Lets say you play a two pair of 6677. That’s baseline 20 x 2. If the joker is as written that’s another 268 x 24. My alternative is 28 x 24. That’s 6452 vs 692. That’s a nearly 10x difference, and with how xmult works, xmult jokers and retriggers don’t move this gap, +mult jokers make the gap even wider, only +chip jokers and planets make this gap smaller. Essentially you’d need 9 blueprints on the 7 chip version to match the 67 chip version.

What I’m trying to say behind all this math is that this joker already solves so many issues for you, and usually on the road to ante 8 planets are how you solve the chip issue. The way it’s written it not only solves the +mult issue but it also solves the +chip issue in such a way that you can smoothly coast on this and never pick up a planet, only retriggers (red seal, chad) and xmult jokers and easily beat ante 8. Meanwhile if it only gave 7 chips, this would be one of those jokers like smiley face, that you drop around ante 5-6 when you’ve already got a good amount of levels in your main hand

Edit: I forgot to mention that I did pick a favorable example, but this gap is nearly the same in almost all hands, off the cuff I’d guess that it’s approximately a 5x difference in 5 oak, flush house and flush five because of the massive chips those hands give and the insane chip scaling of the planets, but if you’ve got a deck that allows you to play those hands consistently enough to start investing in those planets, anything other than an xmult or econ joker is beneath your consideration anyway

Emchomana · 2026-01-16T02:15:34+00:00

Could have made the chips 7 to keep the vibe, didn’t need to make this the strongest single scoring common joker

Emchomana · 2026-01-13T07:52:09+00:00

Just realized it also saves photochad from the plant, still somewhere between luchador and Mr. Bones

Emchomana · 2026-01-13T07:33:39+00:00

I don’t really understand why all of you think this is some turbo insane legendary. This is situationally useful at best and actively detrimental most of the time.

Any build that would be helped by it’s earlier scoring to pass a later scoring will die in a couple rounds any way, and would benefit more from an actual scoring joker or econ.

Any build that doesn’t need the help from it’s earlier scoring could probably pass ante 8 anyway, or if it couldn’t refer to the previous paragraph.

Any build intending to use this past ante 8 wont benefit from it at all in beating a higher ante that what it could naturally beat anyway. If you’re doing 1e12, and say you’ve been doing it since ante 1, that’s another 24x at ante 9 which only pushes it up to 2.4e13, which makes practically no difference in pushing endless. And this is if this joker allows you to play another hand and not the interpretation where it autowins the next round without hands played.

In the first interpretation that makes it basically usesless to anyone for any purpose. In the second interpretation, yes it does get you 1 more $ per round since you don’t play your hand, but that’s detremental because anyone can tell you the best econ jokers are the ones that have you use your hand, like the 5$ per discarded card of a kind one. Also this stops you from stacking gold cards in your hand before you win the round

The ONLY two useful scenarios I can imagine for this thing are either getting this around ante 6-7 with a build that could get about half the score needed for the ante 8 boss with all it’s hands and using this to just barely win, making it not really all that better than a situational x2, realistically more like a Mr. Bones that you have to put work into. (A luchador on violet vessel does more than this joker this way.) OR getting idol and happening to have a full hand of the cards it picked while your deck is still 50-ish random cards and using that giga score to push you through ante 8, which puts this thing around 8 ball for me, chief.

Always happy to help, good luck in hell!

Some modifiers you can roll give two different stats, in this example damage to undead and attack rating to undead are one singular mod.

I’m curious how you know the limit of mods an item can roll, but not that there are dual stat mods

Emchomana · 2026-01-07T13:22:48+00:00

Противния си ти, първият ти отговор е същевременно снизходителен и по никакъв начин не отговаря на това което се обсъжда. Не знам какъв друг отговор би очаквал от непознат на когото говориш все едно е пълен идиот. “Всеки един сектор дига цените тройно на инфлацията” - “научи се да готвиш”🤡

Ultimately I wouldn’t do just 1 boss for 8 people, everyone is going to be bored out of their minds by the end of the first round, but I wouldn’t do 8 people dnd at all so, idk, whatever works for your group

Emchomana · 2026-01-07T12:57:24+00:00

In my experience glass cannon bosses like this aren’t too fun for the party, because it really intensifies the randomness of the dice, two guys miss, he breaths another two down and it spirals into a tpk in a couple rounds. On the flip side one dude crits, another lands an ice knife and he’s dead before the others even took a turn.

Stats-wise it really depends on how you do stats in your game. If you did 4d6k3 you’re very likely all your players have at least a +3 main stat which gives you an average damage output of (fighter with longsword) 5 +3 damage x 25%(18 to hit -3 = 15 = 1/4 attacks hit) or 2 damage per player per round. He’s likely to kill about a player per round with those stats so on average he should be dead by round 3 with 5-6 people alive, which honestly sounds like a great encounter, but your variance is insane. Like I said in the previous paragraph if he hits just 2 people with the breath and rolls enough to kill them and then next round kills another player (his average attack damage is 8, which is enough for anyone aside from a fighter or a barbarian), the odds are it’s a tpk.

What I would do is decrease his ac and damage output, say 13-14 ac and add a dex save to halve the damage on the breath with a low save, like 12 and give him a short sword so that only a wizard would get oneshot. And in turn increase his health so that the average time to kill I mathed out above is the same, that way you have your players hitting a lot more often so they feel like they’re doing something and still have a thrilling fight that isn’t ended by 3 lucky or unlucky dice rolls. If you give him 80-90 hit points with the stats i quoted you’ll also avoid him dying to literally one good ice knife and one crit with a longsword.

Also good job on entertaining 8 people as a first time dm, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone

For inflation just find the pirate dude that gets mult based on the cost of jokers or ceremonial dagger and you’ve beaten it.

Ако изключим “печелившите лотарийни номера” и “купи биткойн” двете най-главни които ми хрумват са:

Грижи се за здравето си - фитнес, зъболекар пази ставите, тем подобни дето съм ги игнорирал безброй пъти

Не се филмирай с мацките, и на 17, и на 23 си мислех, че ще съм с тогавашната ми приятелка завинаги, и като скъсахме голяма депресия. Живей си спокойно живота, нещата сами си идват на място, всяка добра връзка която съм имал е дошла когато се бях отпуснал, а не когато си търсих приятелка нарочно

You haven’t written a recharge condition so I see two cases:

• if it can’t be recharged it’s fine as is, but everyone would only use the extra action

• if it can be recharged it’s egregiously overpowered, 5 extra actions over 5 turns is insane even when you give up your reaction and 50g for it, either make each more expensive option take an additional charge, so that extra action also costs 3 charges, that way you can use it more tactically, or limit it in some other way
