      You need a combination of chips, flat mult, and xmult to get consistent wins, but Jokers are the most consistent way to get xmult while planets are a bit better for chips and flat mult. Doesn't mean there aren't good flat mult jokers though! Almost every single seed is winnable if you play well enough.

I thought Vampire was adding mult rather than multiplying mult, and to add insult to injury I figured that out just shortly after selling pareidolia.

      ​@@shawncarney9657​wrong, it's a word now, we just made it and we can come up with a definition. You understood what they meant, so it's just semantics right? Or rather you didn't, because "non" and "un" function differently as prefixes; non means "not" while un can mean both "not" and "reverse"; so "nonexistent" is not a suitable synonym for the new word "unexisting". As well, existing can be used as a verb, existent is just an adjective. Given the prefix "un", and the root word "existing", unexisting would appear to be a verb. I would suggest vanishing to be a better synonym, though "unexisting" in this context seems to suggest lost /potential/ rather than the disappearing of something that already exists.

  • @Noru_oriru
    @Noru_oriru 13 годин тому +35

    Remember, you need to place your jokers in a specific order to maximize their abilities. They're basically like a math equation. Any joker that gives extra chips, go to the left, jokers that add to the multiplyer stay in the middle, jokers that multiply to the multipyer stay to the right. E.g. +5 chips, +30chips, +4mult, +8 mult, x2mult (5+30)x(4+8)x2. Also, if you run out of discards and need to get rid of more, try adding them to your played hand if you hand is less than the maximum of 5. E.g. you're playing a pair, take the opportunity to trash 3 (or less) unwanted cards, or if you're playing a 2 pair, trash one card.

    That initial encounter with Blank is so relatable. Despite all evidence of the contrary and the game's assumption of your better judgement, the gamer instinct in you clamors of the existence of a hidden effect and salivates at the challenge of discovering it. The adamant pickup, the awkward pause after, the slow realization, it's all there.
    I'll say this: just as how using the Sun to turn your cards into hearts may have consequences, good or bad, that are not yet apparent, so too does buying the Blank. Indeed, even though Blank itself truly does nothing.

    You did pretty well for the tutorial level and having nothing unlocked. Just a reminder there is a difference between ADDING mult and MULTIPLYING mult.
    In terms of which one to focus on, either the blue chips or the red mult, its usually better to focus on the mult since either one results in the same amount, but the red is the only one that can increase via multiplication

    • @geneirai
      @geneirai День тому +1

      with five joker slots you want to work towards at least 1 good chip generator, preferably one that scales over the course of a game. it does depend on the deck but you can pretty much clear white and red stake on most decks by getting a decent chip generating joker early, stuntman is essentially a guaranteed clear on most pre-green stake runs.

      Bus is actually a pretty awful joker but I can see it being a pretty good carry if all your other jokers are complete ass. His problem is that he didn't have any good chip and x mult jokers. You can keep simply adding mult but the increasing Antes are gonna screw you without any good x multipliers to increase that mult

    • @kanyenortheast3546
      @kanyenortheast3546 День тому +47

      @@samanthacarpenter9332 Welp, time to defend the GOAT…
      If you see Bus early, you have no reason not to take them. That is +4 Mult a round. That is a $1 to +1 conversion rate of money to Mult, which is only matched by Dagger. If you play 10 rounds with it, putting you in Ante 5 if you get it in 1 or 2, that is almost always +40 Mult. Mark played non-optimally and got over 50 on it. That is busted. With any X Mult, that just wins.
      Downsides? You can’t play face cards? Who cares? Play pairs with three throwaway face cards to discard em, or Ace high cards, then play the hand you need to win. You can easily remove face cards, and having more chips doesn’t make them that much better because planets and jokers exist for that.
      Bus easily carries any run if you find it pre-Ante 3, and still does good work if you find it pre-Ante 4 boss. Solid A tier joker

    Few tips:
    1. -1 ante, -1 hand is good for when you are struggling. You can essentially give yourself more time to prep for the late game since the amount of chips you need to score will be lower in the lower antes.
    2. When you buy vouchers it unlocks the possibility for an upgraded version of the voucher to show up in the store. So maybe the blank voucher does nothing? how do you upgrade nothing?
    3. If you have a bad hand, play your best option but still make sure to play 5 cards. You might only score with 2 of the cards you played but you'll discard all 5 meaning you get to draw 5 new cards.

    • @alexo_pog

      4. There are 3 card effect types, but you really only need to remember, "any card change that a Tarot card applies does not stack." If you're applying an effect via a tarot card, remember it will overwrite any other effect that comes from tarot cards (Bonus, Multi, Lucky, Wild, Stone, Glass, Steel, Gold...). Sometimes you want to do this, but usually you don't.

    36:45 The Ankh voucher's function (and it IS a good one) is to send you back one layer of the run in return for knocking you down -1 hand. That's often worth it because playing an entire extra low-risk Ante (since the score minimums to win go back down too) is a HUGE chance to get money and upgrades before Ante 8. Basically you'd be cashing in the +1 Hand you bought so long ago in return for 3 more guaranteed-win fights worth of cash, shops, hands played (for enhancing Ride The Bus), etc.

    Mark, my guy - add the cards you don't want to your hands. It's like a free discard. For example, if you're playing a pair of 6s, you can add a K, Q and J to them. The face cards don't count, because pair is stronger, so they just do nothing but get thrown away. And yes, they would not reset your Ride the Bus.
    This works even if you're playing High Card, as long as the cards you're ditching are lower than your high card. In this case, you could just play Ace high and add K, Q and J and they wouldn't have counted. Just don't add a 10 to that, because you'll get a Straight and that would count all the face cards.

    When my roommates first showed me this game, I thought it was stupid. It seems like it's a luck-based one-step-above-idle game that sucks all your time away without anything relevant happening. I now have almost 50 hours on this thing. It's definitely much more overrated than it should be, but it is definitely much more underrated than I thought it would be. Good game. But all I can picture is me lying on my deathbed, playing Balatro, but still not able to come close to my roommates record of Two-point-something e+32 (2 nonillion) chips in a single hand. As in two followed by THIRTY TWO ZEROS. IN A SINGLE HAND. Frankly, I'm not sure he's totally human. My very best hand of any of my games barely got to 2e+12. Simon, if you're reading this, I haven't forgiven you. One day, I WILL eclipse your high score Balatro hand of 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 chips, or my name isn't Mark. You just wait and see.

    Red Seal cards are some extremely good cards, they retrigger every single bonus that affects them, meaning a 10 of hearts with a red seal would get affected by the walkie talkie, the red joker, and its own 10 chip boost twice.

      Before that he even could have had a combo with the two jokers. If he first plays a six, it's desroyed for a spectral card, but the other joker would have made a copy of the six and put it in his deck (If arranged right) so his first hand every game could be a spectral card generator
