One of my favorite things to do is just have a funny chips build on plasma. This was stupid entertaining. Maybe via mods or game changes we will one day get a way to multiply chips and can scale it for end game 👀

[@goaltf4]

there IS a mod that makes a version of glass but for chips…

[@Alice1apple]

Wait until you learn about mult… (joke)

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

Since you have that one mod of custom decks, I have a Deck Idea: “WHOOPS! ALL 2s!” Standard 52 card deck but you start out with a Eternal Wee Joker. Have fun!

[@masterofdoots5965]

Wait, so, everything starts as a 2, or not? Is the only difference the Wee Joker?

[@TheOneWhoReportsForDuty]

@@masterofdoots5965 I forgot to say that every card is a 2. Jokes on me for making comments tired lol

now do a run where you start with 4 eggs and dagger or you cant do it

[@Shiny_7413]

Is that a Dani dev reference I see?

[@theadamant7125]

Dagger, 4 eggs, no jokers in the store, no interest, blind money, or hands-remaining money (like omelette challenge).

[@Lydgid]

@@Shiny_7413 smart :)

@@theadamant7125 yes

it’s dagger but 8x chips instead of 2x mult

[@electricVGC]

hikers did a lot but tragically it still was not enough to make it to ante 39

[@stefano173]

You mean round 39? 😅

hiker is my fav joker in balatro :3

[@Dargonaxable]

so i am quite new to balatro (haven't even unlocked all the decks yet) but why are high point value early bad?

[@xBrokenMirror2010x]

It's bad for the deck he's using (Plasma). Because Plasma's Drawback is ante scaling is greatly increased because the deck's ability of balancing chips and mult makes it score higher, so Plasma has a really easy early ante.

[@matthewgagnon9426]

If you have jokers that scale off of cards played then you want to trigger that scaling as many times as possible rather than clearing the blind as early as possible. If you don't scale as hard as you possibly can you're more likely to lose.

[@josephsherby]

The way hiker works is that it permanently modifies each card that is scored to score for +4 chips. This buff can stack. High scores early means that he can only play one hand per blind, so he can only buff 5 cards each blind. If he could actually play out all of his hands, he could buff 20 cards instead. Generally high point values early on are good because they let you win in less hands and earn extra money from your unused hands. It’s in the specific situation of having a card like hiker that makes it a bad thing.

[@fernn55]

tl;dr in this case scaling > winning in 1 hand

[@CorpCoCEO]

Super sick run, I really wish we could have seen what would have happened if he had taken that seltzer or either of the 2 dusks he got offered. Probably not too much farther, but would have scaled a little better

[@bernardofabrica]

i think one of the problems was that hiker doesn't work well with adding new cards, because the value is added to the cards already played. you want more hanging and less boosters

[@lunk2569]

Does it work with something like dna/death duplication? ​@@bernardofabrica

[@friskydrinklunkybank1108]

You have the seed at the end of the video. You can technically follow this vid step by step until that point and find out if you really want to

[@bernardofabrica]

@@lunk2569 yeah, the created/duped cards keep the added value

[@clementdato6328]

Endless mode, you might want to focus on finding the most hiked cards, deathing it and hangmanning others. Use up all dscards to find the most buffed and let it contaminate the deck.

[@xpatrstarx]

I actually got 3 ancient joker on a checkered deck run (unseeded). It was soooo goood

[@SladeRunner92]

Commenting because I love your content and you need more exposure.

[@masterofdoots5965]

How does Plasma Deck's balancing work? Does it take the average of Chips and Mult and round down?

[@stevenluoma1268]

Adds chips and mult together. Divides by 2. Puts that value for chips and mult, then scores.

[@der.Schtefan]

I think the ramen might have saved you for one round, the x2 would have just done it

[@stevenluoma1268]

He has like no mult. Plasma doesn't work that way. The flat mult would be multiplied by 2 then added to chips

[@Mackinstyle]

Love this guy's playing style.

[@baptul_bim]

Just got a run with plasma where i got a stuntman after the first blind, and then got matador from a pack. The boss was the psychic, so i played less than 4 cards first to get some extra cash, only to play 4 cards on my last hand 🥲
