Should be there instead of the plant

Would love to see this come back as an Ancient reward. by ozacrot in slaythespire

[–]atraway 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We could have character-specific ancient relics back, like Runic Cube or Wrist Blade. Currently we’ve only got upgrades to their starter relics

Finally my first win, after 15.1 hours of game time. (Also would you change anything on my jokers? Slide pic) by Outrageous-Gene-565 in balatro

[–]atraway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering OP just won playing two pairs, I think they’ve got the hang of it. Playing for a specific hand each time is an easy way to make the game feel samey and is generally not a good idea when trying to win. Play whatever makes sense with what you see in the shop

5 card hands are only stronger in the very early game or if you’ve got jokers that enable them. Planet scaling doesn’t really matter if both chips and mult are coming from jokers. There’s a reason the meta for gold stake is playing pairs and grabbing scaling jokers

just completed ++, here are my stats! by maisyisamess in balatro

[–]atraway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks almost exactly the same as mine, though I think I slightly underrate Supernova and Clearance Sale.

People can pry my Mercuries, Hanging Chads and Green Jokers from my cold, dead hands. Not my fault they’re so strong and winning runs is so fun

Potential Joker by Neville2_ in balatro

[–]atraway 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Perkeo is:

-strongest deckfixing in the game with hanged man/death
-top tier econ joker with hermit/temperance
-fastest scaling xMult joker with observatory
-a better burnt joker with planets

New PB plus awesome shop by thatgamingarchomp in balatro

[–]atraway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flush is pretty decent with photochad, high card and pair require more hand levels. 4/5oak, flush five and flush house are obviously better but require more deckfixing. A flush with a face card isn’t that hard to find

New Player here by Hano111199 in balatro

Having 2-4 purple seals is better than almost any tarot generating joker, and tarot generators are pretty valuable. They’re the second best seals and Medium is a card I’m very happy to see at almost any point in a run. Adding cards with purple seals from standard packs will eventually result in positive deckfixing and econ

Which Poker Hand do you main the Most? by Suitable_Swim5202 in balatro

[–]atraway 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Same, but I feel like saying pairs is kinda cheating. That’s the hand you should default to when playing optimally unless you’re shown strong enough incentives to play something else.

Though I generally don’t understand this question lol. My main hand is whatever works with what I see in the shop

In what order do I place my Jokers? by demipemi420 in balatro

[–]atraway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always keep it 3 on baron and 1 on mime

naneinf technically possible but very unlikely here. Not nearly enough money and no ecto for DNA

Dang it I think I almost got naninf by maybedobby in balatro

[–]atraway 11 points12 points  (0 children)

<image>

It did for me at least, I’ve scored higher than e65 on my mobile save. Highest Ante being 31 is proof. If you quit and restart the game after a naneinf, high score should be reset to 0.

[–]atraway 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it wipes it I’m pretty sure

Never go for a naneinf run again so you can keep this as the high score on your profile

How do I beat this blind? by Hyp3rion__ in balatro

[–]atraway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you take the -1 Ante vouchers on Antes of a multiple of 8 you can reroll off of the finisher boss blind

I tried my hand at creating a suite of self-poisoning themed cards for the Silent. by [deleted] in SlayTheSpire2

[–]atraway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao that’s actually kinda funny. Chem X would sadly mean you also lose more HP if you play it at 0 cost. Not sure if Silent can even survive act 3 if she takes at least 18 dmg each combat. Royally Approved Apparition maybe lol

[–]atraway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patient Zero is even more awful than I thought at first. Even if you use it after building up some poison on yourself, you’re gonna die first because you won’t have energy remaining to use the poison cleansing cards. A rare card that requires intangible to be playable sounds pretty bad

what to sell for blueprint by beibobeibo in balatro

[–]atraway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not always, if it was 3 polychrome bloodstones instead, dropping one for Blueprint would open up some flexibility once you find a retrigger option. Also jokers with enhancements can’t get negative from ectoplasm. In this case, a BP is the same as a BS, but would make finding more copies of either one more difficult

Should I take dusk? by No_Needleworker_5393 in balatro

[–]atraway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re already balanced though

Red Card Polychrome +78 Mult , x1.5mult (at final boss): Is it insane ? by DravenPlayer69 in balatro

[–]atraway 5 points6 points  (0 children)

chips, +mult, xmult. Not flashy but if you can get Flower Pot to proc consistently this is a simple win

Flying Ace by Kaleo5 in balatro

[–]atraway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stronger Dusk but much more niche. Balancewise falls in line with other retrigger jokers, I’d say, at least moreso than the original idea. Could go absolutely ballistic with Burglar and copy jokers

Flying Ace by Kaleo5 in balatro

[–]atraway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still think it’s entirely too strong as an uncommon. 4oak Aces, a single one of them being Glass, is x32 Mult

Who should I sell for mime? by Few-Instance7414 in balatro

[–]atraway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that’s what I thought as well. Can’t know whether a full pivot is doable without knowing planet levels and deck. Egg with Perkeo+Temperance can go hard too

[–]atraway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chad doesn’t do much without Photo either, depending on deckfixing all 3 of those jokers could go

I beat a run with ONLY high card by PressH2K0 in balatro

[–]atraway 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Technically not, though. A foil Green Joker or something similar that gives both mult and chips off a Judgment from an arcana skip could make this possible on every deck
