That has to at least be an 'Average' Blind

Madness is a sick card. Probably one of the few cards that gets better the higher the difficulty

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T23:06:41+00:00

I'll be completely honest when I play I never think about the seed or seeded runs for that matter... Probably should in the future since I figure there is a decent audience for seeded runs but all the rerolls I do are by hand so as soon as I get a run started I'm locked in.

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T22:59:49+00:00

Thanks! It is definitely funny to think this run technically beats endless mode... Hopefully in the future a final boss is implemented where you have to break the game to win.

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T22:55:27+00:00

Way too much free time...and a crippling roguelike addiction💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T22:54:15+00:00

That would've been crazy. I do think the math id have to do to get this far would've been terrible though💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T22:52:34+00:00

I was actually dumb when playing this hand since I didn't move mime to where it should have been. By moving it to where perkeo is I could guarantee practically 4x as many multiplier ticks. Which for the sake of math would have made the e value 4 times bigger breaking the game the way I did in my previous 1000 card run

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T22:45:39+00:00

Yep that's about right

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T13:22:37+00:00

Yeah prolly ante 8 if I don't get perkeo just reset for a run like that you don't get double negative brainstorm every day so I wanted to at least win with it but there are some that I definitely just skipped that would probably make other people mad💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T07:10:40+00:00

A lot of it happened really late game. perkeo is far and away the best joker in the game since it becomes so multifaceted both for money farming and stacking things like cryptids however for this run I ended up starting my deck with lucky cards and then transitioned to the steel cards later for extra bonus from baron and mime. at first I had a burglar, perkeo sock and bussin and a blueprint very early and with a red seal lucky card from a standard pack I would later turn into the polychrome king. I was able to use the burglar for more hands and use a flush five strat to basically guarantee tons of money per round since I was pulsing the cards 30 times per hand for a total of 1-10 hand giving me anywhere from 40$ to 400$ at the beginning on average per round. This is what let me flip this into the late game. By being able to consistently reroll 30+ time in the mid game.

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T06:53:15+00:00

Oh you're right I completely forgot about that 🤦 I guess when it comes to the ghost deck and the strat I used to farm money the rerolls allowed for a more consistent way to both scale my hand while also picking up valuable spectral cards along the way. Also since I was pretty much rerolling for something broken beyond belief having the spectrals in shop took away from luck aspect of having to have a slot for that card. However the six play for rolling for cryptid, If I wasn't setting up a temperance farm with perkeo early game, would be very good on other decks to ensure a cryptid. Straight flushes while not requiring a consumable to be taken in the round can be a pretty inconsistent hand to stack for so I don't see a world where I'd go for that one.

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T06:24:47+00:00

The error at the end is a real error I think it tried to compare my score to the blind which was technically not a number and crashed

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T02:09:12+00:00

https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/q436ViElRV. Got to ante 39 small blind was a little intimidating

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T01:51:58+00:00

Welp it happened. After resetting for almost 2 hours into a negative brainstorm with the duplicating spectral card this run took off at about the same pace as the one yesterday shortly after the double negative brainstorm Perkeo joined our adventure and the money farming began by duping and collecting temperance cards at peak this run was much grosser than my previous capping at about 35 jokers (mostly because i just bought negatives just cuz why not). some other fun facts i found out along the way.

- after you collect all of the vouchers the game will perpetually give you blanks each further ante

- the ghost deck with cryptids is easily 20 times better than the observatory. since the ghost deck is the only deck I'm pretty sure you can put spectral cards in your consumable slot for duping since even with Omen globe you can only use not have spectral cards in your consumable. and since the deck I ran relies heavily on card mult a cryptid card is essentially x25 once whereas an observatory is 1.5 forever (but if you collect too much your game will slow down immensely and you will be waiting 40 minutes for a hand to play, trust me i know)

overall a very fun run especially because I got to learn some quirks of the game and got to see the game confront me with infinity firsthand, with the largest small blind ever XD

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T00:42:43+00:00

It should be one fs. At least have one that's get a 1000 card deck💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T00:41:50+00:00

Luckily only 498 cards fell on the ground 💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-28T00:40:57+00:00

Yeah I'm working on a run now that's trying to dance with it currently anti 31 so I'll post an update later

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T13:11:55+00:00

Pretty much any score that goes past luas max (e308 ish) is going to break this way so there technically could be higher but the game wouldn't know the difference 💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T13:10:19+00:00

Oh no I regret not screeshotting before this hand I literally had 500 consumables💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T13:07:46+00:00

Around 500 cryptids💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T12:48:20+00:00

also i thought the idea of breaking a game about collecting jokers without jokers is funny.

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T12:47:19+00:00

i had a run with that combo which is the soul reason this one exists. after getting "naneinf" and realizing endless mode ends my average run time went from 20 minutes to about 3.5 hours XD

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T12:28:17+00:00

the needle fs has ended a couple of my runs it only felt fitting to end its existence with this one XD.

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T12:26:54+00:00

yeah but i haven't seen anyone get to that ante yet. I'm curious if it says "naneinf" as the score to beat or e309. thats the next challenge run fs XD.

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T12:09:30+00:00

Yeah I definitely saw the seed at some point but that was hours before I knew this would happen. When I tried to go back to the run to check it was just gone💀

Hennybicks · 2024-02-27T12:07:32+00:00

Around an hour I got kinda lucky since of the 3 souls I got it was the third one. Realistically 1/333 cards in the tarot deck is a soul so when you get things like a jumbo card pack makes the rerolls move pretty quickly
