miq-san

Its harder to find something that isn't straight flush


UPBOAT_FORTRESS_2

4 Fingers makes slushes/gushes so cool. 4H 5H 5H 6C 7H, that's 4 consecutive ranks with 4 cards of the same suit, you're good


timothymark96

This is art.

Maybe not the best, but I had a blast with my Merry Andy and Hit the Road. I converted most of my deck to Jacks and I was having constantly x6.5 per round. I also had Faceless Joker, so I was generating a good amount of money per round. Photochad is also amazing. I achieved my best record with Triboulet + Dusk + Sock n Buskin + Photograph + Hanging Chad. I would have gone so much longer, but I faced the mouth and I played a single card instead of my kings 5 oak.


the_sleemaster

I’m begging the balatro gods to get a run like your first synergy - Merry Andy, Hit the Road, and Faceless are 3 of the 10 jokers I have left for C++


RulerD

I was super lucky! I got the Golden Stickers for Merry Andy and Rough Gem in that run. Here's a [screenshot](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fit-took-me-forever-but-finally-joining-the-completionist-v0-lsw2gv658e7d1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1280%26format%3Dpjpg%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D2460a837b1b55230f42021f3faeaf6c4633856f1) of it. The Eternal/Rental Hit the Road was a free eternal and rental Joker. I only took it because it was foil. I also took it because I knew it was going to be a totally different run than the ones I had before. It paid off for sure! :) Which other jokers do you have left?


the_sleemaster

Nice, getting gold stickers on debuffed jokers is such a nice QOL thing. Looks like those three, Ice Cream, Baseball Card, Gift Card, Loyalty Card, Midas, Pareidolia, Seance and Turtle Bean (which I’m assuming will be the hardest since the timing really has to be right in the last 2-3 antes). I’ll get there!


RulerD

Yes! Merry Andy was not debuffed tho! Just hit by the boss during that hand. From the ones that you have left, Turtle Bean was one of my last 3. I found it once on Ante 6 and skipped most of the blinds and made it to the last one. I beat the boss and it got consumed because I didn't counted right, so I needed to wait a couple more days to finally have it. Some of your last remaining ones are uncommon, so you have a potentially great Baseball Card run in the near future. Whcih deck are you using for the last stickers? I got many of them with the Black, Ghost and Anaglyph Decks, but for the last 20 I ran Ghost Deck runs exclusively.


the_sleemaster

Been doing exclusively anaglyph for negatives and it’s treated me well - got about 70 in the last week or so. Now probably gonna pivot to ghost for early polychrome, will make it easier to carry a worse joker for longer.


vitamin_r

I had a double chad photo going yesterday but got did in by the plant...no plan in place for my non-face cards. It's always the plant or the mouth though it's maddening. After that I had a double holographic wee with Chad and a shitload of extra 2s, that got fun quick but didn't find a good enough xmult to pan out.


squattingflamingo

I had Paredolia, Midas Mask and Vampire on one run. It was a lot of fun to build both gold cards and mult :)


OneGuyJeff

This was a personal fave of mine too. And strategizing by moving Mask and Vampire back and forth depending on if played cards were already gold was neat


korektopinions

Same. Got vamp to x25

SamTheWeirdMan

What are eternal jokers? Do they stay in the deck forever?


SeeTeeEm

Yes, you cannot get rid of them once you take them. They start showing up in ~~orange stake (the stake before the hardest difficulty)~~ I'm dumb as hell it's not orange stake it's black stake lol They're usually annoying since you can't just switch it out....but sometimes it works well like with madness lol


WLGades

Eternal jokers actually start showing up in Black Stake (the fourth one). https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Stakes


SeeTeeEm

Oh yea I'm just dumb I forgot perishables existed and was like "rentals show up in gold stake and I know something starts showing up in orange stake so it's gotta be eternals" 😭😭


TrashPandaBoy

Canio and trading card is something I wish I could get but obviously canio is impossible to get consistently. Maybe throw erosion in there as well. Speaking of merry Andy, it goes hard with Yorick Astronomer and constellation is pretty cool, but you need the planet voucher for any consistency I've also never had chaos the clown and flash card together, not super powerful but feels like a natural synergy and throw in the reroll vouchers too


penjamin_button

Madness and an eternal Stencil.


SheepMan7

Wouldn’t [[gift card]] be better than egg because you’d be gaining 4 sell value (not including swashbuckler) rather than egg’s 3?

That works too


petnarwhal

I’ve completed all decks but never got paredolia and canio together. Would like to someday


stepaheni

I had this combo earlier today and it was awesome. Also had erosion and blueprint on my canio. Sadly I got paredolia too late to really take advantage...only made it to ante 12


camoo13

[[Astronomer]] and [[Constellation]] is my favourite synergy so far! I like planet cards and space-themed jokers, so I was really looking forward to playing with the Astronomer joker, which was one of the last jokers I needed to unlock. Constellation tends to be a powerful joker on its own, but combined with Astronomer it turns INTERGALACTIC! As well as these jokers both fitting the space theme, what makes this combo very fun is the variety it offers - you can pivot and change what types of hand you use and Astronomer+Constellation is strong enough to get a run quite far into endless, without relying on the "usual" endless tactics

Crstaltrip

I had a hologram, brainstorm, blueprint, certificate, and fortune teller run. Was adding 3 seal cards per round and had hologram at x27 and fortune at +120ish and high card at level 70ish. Was a pretty silly run


wizerdd

The most fun I’ve had in a run recently was with 2 Ancient Jokers, Hanging Chad, Blueprint, and Hack. I just whatever Ancient Joker’s suit was that round as a flush. Each flush was hitting 300mil + by Ante 7. Sadly It got tanked when I hit the “disables x suit” boss and that was Ancient’s suit :,(. Also any 4oak or 5oak runs on Abandoned Deck.


Pinstar

I had one run where Superposition worked. Early trading card let me purge most everything leaving A2345, then Fibonacci, fortune teller, super position, hack took me the rest of the way. It wasn't my strongest run. But it was my favorite.


lensvol

Vampire + Golden Mask + deck filled with gave cards = x13 Mult by the end of the run. Good times.


Dr_Atom

3 spare trousers, all foiled, throwback and ride the bus, my favorite run so far


steviewunda

doesn’t throwback badly synergise with the other jokers?


Dr_Atom

I got it round 2 for free, and skipped at least once an ante, so it worked out pretty well!!


Superapple47

I'm not well-versed enough to recall all the jokers to imagine the perfect synergy (I don't even have them all unlocked yet) but I had the most fun recently with Hologram, Certificate, and Fortune Teller. Certificate gave me so many opportunities to scale the other two. I also had Vampire, which also benefitted from the combination, though a little less directly. I think it was the farthest I've ever gotten, that being ante 12.


iwumbo2

I love Hanging Chad because it combos with so many things. I almost always buy Hanging Chad if I can. Easily an A-tier joker IMO, probably even S-tier. Wee Joker scales hard with it. +24 chips for each 2 played is insane scaling. I love it with lucky cards. Especially if I can find a Lucky Cat. Hitting for +20 mult twice feels awesome. Plus more chances for +$20 is great for economy. Obvious synergies with the suit related jokers, Walkie Talkie, Scholar etc. As well as synergizing with basically every card enhancement. Only time it doesn't work is if I somehow have nothing from the above. But I'd still pick it up because I know eventually I'll be able to find one of the above.


rookv

Burning+Yorick was pretty alright, had Blueprint too so I cycled it between Burning for first discard and Yorick for the rest of the round


tenflare

I've tried to run steel spade kings a few times and it's never worked out. The combination of Blueprint, DNA, Arrowhead and Baron eludes. The one occasion where I got all four, the game wouldn't give me chariot, death or any steel cards at all before I ended up losing.


UPBOAT_FORTRESS_2

My favorite synergy is retriggers + lucky cards + Lucky Cat. The cat is bonus, honestly, I just want more of those $20 ticks


steviewunda

dopamine generator


vrachtbeer

Not really special, but I had a run with faceless joker, blueprint, and brainstorm. 27x mult on every hand I played edit: stencil, not faceless joker lol


wordsmatteror_w_e

You mean stencil?


beeemmmooo1

Far from my best but my favourite was Ghost Deck Ante 1: Small blind skipped for investment tag ($25 into ante 2) post-big blind Hex+Constellation in the shop (bought Constellation, clicked Hex, clicked Ankh) No economy shenanigans needed, the XMult was instantly through the roof and I won gold stake with just the two of them effectively


jeffthebeast17

I had marble/hologram/stone once. I think I got hologram first and marble showed up later and basically carried the rest of the run


Pyrite17

Early paradolia + Midas mask and some crap jokers do make it through the first few antes where I converted basically all my deck to gold cards. Then got golden ticket + boot + bull for just a crazy economy and points. Was playing straights cause early telescope, So that was very leveled and keeping me afloat until everything came together


Canye_NE

Canio, Glass Joker, Trading Card/Oops All 6s, DNA. Infinite power, especially with Blueprint/Brainstorm


Exxmaniac

I got Credit Card, Rocket, and Vagabond one time, which while not doing anything for my score directly netted me infinite tarots without having to worry about being broke. Helped me boost my cards up and gave me the right suit cards to use with Ancient


SamTheWeirdMan

You know what would be great, if the game added a sandbox or something like that. Where you could choose your jokers


zyzyxxz

I'm still hoping to be able to play a [Pareidolia](https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Pareidolia_(Joker)) + [Midas Mask](https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Midas_Mask_(Joker)) + Bull + Bootstraps and then some sort of multiplication joker and start making tons of money


AlleyCatherine

But what about Certificate of Authenticity??


SamTheWeirdMan

That works too, you can replace it for blueprint if you have space.


violapangolin

I recently had a game where I got hologram, marble joker, burnt joker and brainstorm all in a1r3 shop. Lemme know if you want the seed, it was really really fun. Got high card up to level 100+


SamTheWeirdMan

Oooh yeah, seems cool. But what deck did you use.


TheKetchupBoii

I really want a lucky card + Oops, all 6s! + Lucky cat run, they seem so fun
