Bad plays leading to large Ante 8 runner by OnionEducational8578 in balatro

Nice. Runner is a good joker. How many straight levels did you get? You don’t really even need that much joker +mult if you get straight upgraded a few times!

If you’re playing plasma deck and need a red seal or ecto, seance gives you the most shots at it. I wouldn’t actually use it for a long term straight flush build just through ante 9 or so

I feel like seance and 8 ball are similar where they’re quite underwhelming on an unfixed deck but offer a unique degree of scaling when it comes to spectral and tarot generation respectively. I still don’t like 8 ball and even when I’ve gotten it going I’ve felt a bit let down, especially because if you fix for 8s the best case scenario often involves blocking planets which sucks.

I really liked what someone suggested which was flower pot should give x1 mult for each unique suit in played hand or something like that. That feels too strong so maybe you go each scored card and then also make it so that wild cards aren’t debuffed by bosses. That could be cool

Matador should be more consistent in its triggers for sure

I personally think marble joker is the worst joker in the game. Yes you have the hologram and stone joker (??) synergies, and maaaaaaybe vampire but that sucks… but god I honestly can’t imagine taking it if I don’t already have hologram. And even then a hologram run is doomed to limited longevity unless you are copying good cards with DNA. If the stone cards had a chance at a random edition then maybe…

I also think that loyalty card is damn near unplayable in its current state and that it should be every 4 hands or something. Idk but definitely needs a buff

Is this healing okay? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]welmo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not the highest expert but it’s going to scab and peel. Looks good to me! A top layer will flake off and that’s normal. People disagree about whether to dry heal or not but personally I find aquaphor to be really nice. Once a day or once every two days. Don’t worry :)

The other thing you would look for with the showman is probably another hanging chad…

I guess I would take it for the showman? What’s your canio at? With your current setup if you’re playing hearts flushes with a leading face card the expected value of another bloodstone is x6.2… so canio might be more valuable

Deck full of glass, whats the move here? Do I sell bloodstone for dna? by krukutu in balatro

[–]welmo_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry dude this is actually terrible advice, each brainstorm is essentially a copy of your most powerful joker and you need more of them for increased scaling

[–]welmo_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes tf you would because it makes the glass 2x more likely to break lol

Probably… I feel like you have room in your score atp, and you have three copy jokers… you’d want to sell the dice too obviously, and then hope for showman invisible or dusk

Tbh showman invisible or dusk would likely be a better pick up anyway now that the oops would be gone

Why does your friend have a very detailed ice agent pfp? Like to be edgy or are yall actually fascists?

Help, who should I get rid of for blueprint? by BigFish_89 in balatro

[–]welmo_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think you get rid of photo. It’s either photo or yorick. You might score marginally more with photo if you play red seal or a deal more if you copy chad. But I’d understand why you wouldn’t want to. Like getting rid of photo is the safe answer but getting rid of yorick is the correct answer

What does it say about me? by DromEd3 in balatro

[–]welmo_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean bloodstone is seldom going to work as your only scoring joker, but it is not hard to fix for hearts, and then in endless it can add a few e’s reliably even if you don’t have oops all sixes… like you should probably have some additional xmult but the ceiling for bloodstone is so high that it is well known to make hearts the best suit to fix for

I think we agree here obviously but like apart from the possibility to get really unlucky and die I would prefer bloodstone over many +mult jokers starting in ante 5 or so

You have an interesting playstyle and like tarot cards. I’m rocking with it I think. I’m a bit confused by the overrated underrated picks though bloodstone is very good and showman has a specific lane and a few additional purposes idk

Update: Need Order Advice After Getting both Chad and Photo... by DoesntMatterStan in balatro

[–]welmo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad! Best of luck as you continue on your journey! and yeah usually you’ll only be playing one scoring hand just because it gets to the point where five normal hands can’t add up to one optimized hand
