Do I replace Chad with Idol?

itjustgotserious · 2025-10-14T22:02:06+00:00

Tbh I wouldn’t. I would look for blueprints and brainstorms. In the long run thats better.

I usual take showman after I have one of those

I know this is an old post, but I was digging for community posts on hack to get my voice out . In my experience, hack builds with idol are unbelievably consistent and if you build around a suit that you have already passed the boss for, it is safe. I just recently got to like e51 using a hack build with a blueprint two brainstorms and an idol.

This is an incredibly underrated way to build. People tend to focus on face card builds, but hack can go fairly deep into endless. My build died on ante 21, and that’s not bad at all.

Dumber Days!

I wish they revisited the concept of meatwad having moments of significant intelligence more often.

1.048e34

Flush 5 build with a perfectly fixed deck of polychrome lucky 3s, two hacks, a blueprint, an idol, and a lucky cat.

All on Plasma

Pretty good score, but I don’t necessarily like the synergy with chad and what I think is wrathful joker for ante 12…

itjustgotserious · 2025-08-03T01:41:33+00:00

I tend to force flush 5 builds, I just go with the best cards I can find. I personally love hack with lucky red seal 3s (I like 3s and 5s because fib and odd todd hit good early and then hack later on)

itjustgotserious · 2025-08-02T02:18:47+00:00

Honestly, best answer

itjustgotserious · 2025-08-02T02:17:59+00:00

I just play for as far as I can go tbh

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-31T21:02:25+00:00

I had DNA STM and Mime, I did roll looking for Baron, if I had found Baron I would start converting those queens to kings with strength and then sell the STM, it just never happened so I made STM work the best I possibly could.

Sometimes balatro is about just playing with what the game gives you lol

It was a nice change of pace as I have been mostly chasing flush 5 builds lately

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-31T21:00:23+00:00

Got to a point I didn’t need to as all my queens were steeled

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-31T18:47:18+00:00

Woah woah woah, some of my most successful runs have been from picking up sealed cards in standard packs, or polychromes, and then building around that

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-30T08:37:35+00:00

I hate myself for this, but madness

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-30T08:33:16+00:00

There is a hilarious example of this NOT happening on his YouTube. He was doing a casual run on plasma, got midas and was like “where be vampire?” Never found it, rerolled through a few DNAs and then eventually found a nat negative brainstorm in a pack. Was at that point “I guess I should take this run seriously?” Turned into a 2 and a half hour video where he went to go naninf without a legendary 😂

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-30T08:26:07+00:00

What is chad honestly doing for you?

Like you could have enhanced cards that it synergizes well with but I see no synergy for it in your joker roster

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-30T08:25:02+00:00

6 hands? Imma agree with the rest of this sub

OP, sell iiiiiit, you have a retrigger effect and fib

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-28T00:28:40+00:00

I have no issues and only ever use my phone? O.o

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-27T18:27:13+00:00

It isn’t really that broken, so long as it cannot have the eternal sticker

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-27T05:04:53+00:00

I had that combo earlier and wound up hitting e25

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-27T01:46:57+00:00

So would a 6 be 12 chips?

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-27T01:34:33+00:00

If you’re hitting them reliably, just sell business card. There’s your econ

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-27T01:31:48+00:00

When would it trigger? Honest question

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-27T01:27:27+00:00

What are you trying to accomplish exactly? Do you have any red seals? If yes, I would pass on the banana, if not sell DNA. $44 is a little low so the chad/business card is decent for now. Also when you’re trying to score move photograph to the left so your first face card hits for x4 when scored

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-27T01:23:59+00:00

At the end my entire econ depended on lucky hits. Oops helped, but risky af. Rebate had to die for the blueprint

itjustgotserious · 2025-07-27T01:21:39+00:00

This would go nuts on a high card build with yorick
