>whole game centres around trying to get a king only deck and hoping you get the baron jokerI hope the update has more ways to win
It didn't really click with me.
most known way to get the max score =/= easiest way to win a run
>gambling simulator, indie gameYASSSS THIS IS WHAT ALL GAMES SHOULD BE THIS IS FOR THE GAYMERS>gambling simulator, gachanoooooo this isn't a real game, it needs to be bannedWhy are fake gamers like this
>>737646656Dailies are an abomination. Balatro doesnt have that.
>>737646447>plasma deck>oops all rocks>not even giving a shit about jokersstep it up OP
>>737646656You're a fucking retard if you think Balatro is in any way a gambling simulator.
>>737646447That's a weird way to spell pairs
there's an update planned? It's about fucking time>ib4 it's just harder antes, retarded shit like one use jokers because renting jokers wasn't enough to fuck with people, or trash jokers to fuck with the pool binding of Isaac style
Be honest did you just watch some youtube videos from roffle or something and see someone going naneinf with Baron? This is such an astronomically low level take.Game got it's balancing issues but Baron is a mid tier joker if you're just trying to get those Gold Stake wins. it's a rare that requires heavy deck fixing and is pretty useless until you can consistantly get a few kings in hand for every hand you play.Not to mention the barrage of boss blinds that fuck face card builds
>>737646956he is either a nigger, indian or underage redditor trying to farm (You)sjust filter and ignore
>>737646656There's no gambling. It's completely skill based, pro's are able to winstreak at the highest difficulty. You wouldn't call Nuc T or Isek or sts a gambling simulator, it's clear that you larp'ers only say it about balatro because of the poker theme'ing
>>737647359what are some other high scoring builds
>>737646621Yeah it's easy to see stuff like Baron and get dollar signs in your eyes but the reality is for the average run dude ain't doing shit
>>737647462see >>737646938
You should know the update ain't ever gonna happen. The dev is too stressed, those type just completely shut down
>>737647462The best scoring build are whatever jokers appear in the shop that can get you through the next anteunless you're literally asking what other ways there are to naneinf and get to super high ante's then idk - stuff like Idol, Ancient Joker, red seal hearts/sock and bustin with bloodstone, perkeo with planet cards and the level 2 astro voucher
>>737647583rocks? stone cards?
>>737647462Obelisk
this felt so good
>>737646938chip spam on plasma deck isn't even that good at higher stakes but it's so fucking fun
That shit only applies to endless. Just beating an ante 8 run gives you plenty of room for experimentation and variety.
What's the singular best deck for playing Straights? You can only pick one. There's a few candidates>Blue Deck/Red Deck for the extra discard/throwaway hand>Painted Deck for the hand size>Abandoned Deck to cut 12 cards off the batOther decks have their appeal too but which one is the best for pulling str8s consistantly?
>>737648408Probably abandoned
>>737647462
>>737646447I only need my boy Photograph. Everything else is gay.
>>737648660Having this be the final build to get me my final gold stake on Black Deck was pure cinema
funnily enough i think Mime is the actual strong part of the Baron Mime duo. It's both utility (gold cards, blue seals, reserved parking) and scoring (shoot the moon, steels, raised fist) all in one joker.
never understood how to utilize tarot/spectral/seals effectivelyeither I get good jokers or I lose, simple as that
>>737648734I am currently struggling with gold stake on black deck. Best run so far was ante 7 and it died because all the shops were trash, trapping me into a low scoring build.
>>737648727What about Triboulet?
>>737646447Just get lucky bro.I think I crashed out by ante 3
I’ve never tried it but why do I constantly hear that High Card build is really broken?
>>737649303Because of the baron mine build. It takes a lot of set up though and its only really "broken" in that its one of the few builds that can score naninf.
>>737649303I'm not that good but I think pairs are better for clearing ante 8, and high card for going endless if you have a build where all your score is in your jokers/in-hand effectsAnyway Pair/HC is just incredibly consistant to pull. I've had even flush and two pair runs die to horrendous RNG. They have tons of strengths, like being able to aggressively discard for in-hand effects, spammable for scaling jokers like bus/green joker/supernova. Pair is by far one of the most consistant strategiest for getting your first gold stake clears
*wins you the run in your path*
>filtered by purple stake for monthsHow do I beat it?
>>737649506Pairs are the most busted hand. Hard to get going in early game but if/when you do, you can coast through the rest.
>>737649303High card trades the randomness of finding your hand for the randomness of finding specific jokers. It's why people say if you don't get those specific jokers in the first 2 antes you should just reset instead of playing it out with different hands that suit the jokers you opened.
>>737646447Baron is dogshit for a rare. Needs a lot of deck-fixing to be useful and even then it’s really nothing special without Mime. Yeah it’s good for meme high card naneinf runs but shit for actually beating the game
>>737649629???
>>737650151But you could already have a strong deck of kings when you find it or it makes you pivot to try it out and you go way into endless. Or you get greedy and pick it up and lose anyway. A lot of the rare jokers are pretty situational but are amazing if the situation is right, so the rarity is fine.
>>737649628i love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>737647106Reworking the boring stakes like -1 discard because all it does is force you to play pairs. Some new jokers as well, but no one but Doc and Thunk probably know what they are
>>737648842Baron allows your kings to be gold and scoring at the same time, which is insanely strong, if you get it online.
>>737651802I'm not sure we'll get new jokers or decks, just a total rebalance of everything.
>>737651802I don't know how involved he is but I trust drspectred completely with any rebalacingThe only thing I disagree with him on is loyalty card. Which is a nitpick at best. Yeah it's a shit tier joker, but you can treat it like a failsafe against the wall/violet vessel/needle/etc.Still should probably be reworked somehow but I think turning it into a utility joker would be boring
>>737652501He was one of the people who helped Thunk with balance between the original beta and release, and has hinted more then a couple of times during his various videos that he's still in conversation with Thunk about the patch whenever it comes. Been enjoying watching my boy find success, hosting the Red Bull tourney and then making it to the MLB finals again.I do wonder if part of the reason the patch is taking so long is that Thunk saw the popularity of the multiplayer mod and is now trying to get it into the base game
>>737652705It's cool there's a thriving playerbase around the multiplayer stuff but it's such a non interactive mp game, I don't think it would be very broadly appealing.
>>737652804I don't think the goal would be for it to be massively popular, but instead just give the people who've mastered single player something to keep doing.
>He plays face cards>He plays anything less than gold stake>He plays seeds>He considered ante 8 "beating the game"
>>737646447you are dogshiti have done every deck on gold and i don't think i've ever played a baron deck lmao
>>737652975I still only have the black stake sticker on Baron. Any time I have steel kings, mime, or a good tarot economy he doesn't show up.
Post your Joker ideas.>Defacement (Rare)>Kings and Queens count as the same rank, but are no longer considered face cards.>Pros:>Kings and Queens can be used as substitutes for each other in straights, pairs, 3-5 of a kinds, full houses, etc.>Protects Kings and Queens from the Plant and the Mark boss blinds.>Synergizes with Ride the Bus (easier to keep mult) and Baron/Shoot the Moon (both cards synergize with each other).>Downside does not negate Triboulet.>Cons:>Face card-focused Jokers no longer apply to Kings and Queens.>Sock & Buskin doesn't retrigger them.>Photochad only applies to Jacks.>Neutral:>Kings and Queens are still not considered face cards if you also have Pareidolia.
>>737646656>one is playing with monopoly money>the other is incentivized to drain your wallethmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>737646656>t. gambling company pissed that Balatro's IP isn't for sale.
>>737653214(Don't know name)Allows you to play six card hands (Three Pair, Two Three of a Kind, Fullest House, Six of a Kind, Flush Six, Flush Fullest House)
>>737646447It was fun doing all of the decks on low-level stakes but trying to go completionist mode and do them all is just exhausting. I played it for a straight week and just got tired of it.
>>737654282Having to unlock all the stakes on every deck is really tedious. And then gold stake alone could take you multiple days/play sessions just to beat. Getting Completionist+ took me like 1-2 months
I am not getting a gold sticker on every deck, blue stack and above is anti-fun
>>737654282I don't remember the color but a great stopping point is the stake that gives you -1 discard. The game just becomes maximum anti-fun on that one and it only gets worse.
I'm not gayBUT
>>737655213The *good* decks are still fun at high stakes, like ghost deckThe mediocre, middling, or bad decks are abhorrent to play at gold stakes
>>737655213Purple stake is the last point before no fun.>>737655902Blueprint and Brainstorm are the couple.
>>737646447>>737656137madness joker x burnt joker OTP
>>737656883madness joker + random fuckhead permanent jokers is my favorite build
>>737649303Easiest to set up with pairs on any given deck, even black. Once you know you can't go back
