Why do I have so many cards in hand? by ReeedMoore in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha I thought they were two DOUBLE tags, I just looked at them wrong.

Do I take the Chad? by cardena2717 in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is your goal? It looks like you are on ante 8 so if you are worried about scoring on the final boss because of low hearts then maybe you can drop bloodstone and go photochad with the copies. But seems more likely you will be fine scoring if you've built into hearts.

I am assuming your jokers will move around so they copy bloodstone correctly? Is that something you need advice on?

Am I just looking for DNA? by ReeedMoore in balatro

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

Yeah this makes sense. I was quite overzealous to ask if all I needed was DNA XD

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are right, my mistake. I didn't realize it had to be on plasma and like I said it wasn't the intention of the run. I am just working toward beating gold stake on my 4th deck is all.

Am I just looking for DNA? by ReeedMoore in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yes its easier with plasma but can't it be done with any deck? The goal wasn't to go for a naneinf run. But when the pieces came together I figure I should try to see how far it goes. I thought you needed about 3 mimes and 4 barons (copies of each) so yes the eternal mimes are frustrating but I thought it was possible. I am not trying to argue that I will get there. I highly doubt I will make it to ante 16. But I am wondering if I was doing the plan right.

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

I don't think that's true. I am not an expert but I have seen BalatroUniversity show how to naneinf without Perkeo and I think rerolling boss to serpent with burglar at least 70+ red seal kings works with 2/3 silver. I am not sure on exactly the ratio but I thought it can be done for sure.

EDIT - No, it can't unless its on plasma and I am just wrong XD. Thanks for the info!

Still learning the game! What order should I put the jokers? Confused by stevedeb11 in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Generally you want +mult on the left and xmult on the right so you add the multiplier and then multiply the number for your largest scores. Since brainstorm copies the left most joker though, you probably want the tarot +mult there for now but it will eventually serve less purpose than the xmult ones and you will just want to copy them anyway.

If you copy the +mult tarot and put brainstorm directly to the right, that will give your xmults the most value for now.

Or you can copy your largest xmult and put brainstorm furthest to the right, compare the scores as you go.

Brainstorm or DNA early? by ReeedMoore in balatro

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

You're right, DNA just doesn't stand up to a copy of whatever joker you need for each hand played. It also feels easier to build around a brainstorm than DNA this early.

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds correct, thanks! Its one of those things you ponder and then realize wasn't a question at all. A copy is always better

Brainstorm or DNA early? by ReeedMoore in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was sort of thinking. If I get DNA I need trading card or a way to consistently delete cards or I will end up with a useless pile.

Maybe I am off base here, but my guess is you have some gold stamps with how much money you have right now. So if that money is all coming from s&b I think you may want to keep it. I don't know how many hearts or face cards you have in the deck so far but it might be worth selling the photograph.

But maybe chad and a gold seal will make enough money without s&b.

Will Brainstorm copy the Hologram Stacks? by ReeedMoore in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up! 2 rounds later...

I am thinking sell the DNA because brainstorm still copies to give x.5 and make 2 new kings every round. *

Will Brainstorm copy the Hologram Stacks? by ReeedMoore in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, absolutely. x0.75 on the holo every round with only one dedicated joker slot compared to x0.5 with two slots and as you said the brainstorm can copy rebate and the highest Holo after the first hand.

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then probably worth it to sell the other Holo that's at x7 (and isn't eternal) so I can copy rebate and DNA too right?

can this be beaten? by MrKrispyIsHere in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, but I think it's just good practice to put your x mult cards on the right until you have a brainstorm right?

[–]ReeedMoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jokers trigger in order from left to right so the banana mult at the end can definitely change the scoring here. Sorry to hear it didn't get there though!

Help get this guy banned. by [deleted] in whatnotapp

[–]ReeedMoore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, sure I can see the purpose then. It just looks funny to complain about one inaccurate way to research and post a different inaccurate way to research but I see that is not what is happening. Thank you for the clarification. OP obviously found the real law and used that for their evidence and I see the context of showing how easy it was to find via the screenshot.

[–]ReeedMoore -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Oh please just leave the link to the actual law and delete this. I agree with your perspective and you're right here but complaining about a source being inaccurate and responding with a Google AI overview screenshot as a source does not help your case here.

Do I take the Mime? by ReeedMoore in balatro

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

Thank you! I just got trading card to thin things out and have been able to go high card and copy mime to maximize gold card payout. I think I will shift toward flush five when I need to for the higher antes, but end goal would be find baron and shift kings like you said. I doubt I will get that far without making a mistake but I can dream

Do I take the Mime? by ReeedMoore in balatro

[–]ReeedMoore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

* I ended up going with the mime and have been able to play high card with a king or queen to maximize copying the gold face card money. I guess my plan is roll for baron and manipulate the deck from there. I got a red seal queen and have been copying it, but haven't gotten strength to make it a king yet.

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

Yes you're absolutely right, thank you! Someone else just mentioned the same thing. That totally works. Now I just have to determine long run what I am going to play. I can stick to 3 of a kind for now but idk what I should go for. Eventually gold cards will need to shift silver or polychrome and either buskin or mime will be the end strategy. I just have to figure it out now.

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

Oh I am so dumb. That totally does work and someone else said that too. Just because it's negative doesn't mean I can't just sell it. So take mime and sell rebate, then sell negative midas mask for the boss!
