A Balatro Flush Build that Isn't Boring? Is it Possible?

[@davidalankaminski]

Me @ 26:47 - "it's so good" Tyler @ 26:51" it's just not good enough"

[@devinlangdell9635]

Little tip the chip and mult have a flame like affect when the points they score beats the blind outright, even if you already scored points Edit: you can see this effect at 11:11

[@GeorgeN-ATX]

BLACK HOLE planet card was unfortunately missed at 22:15 Apparently it levels up all poker hands, so it would've also leveled up flushes a level the way choosing Jupiter did, it just would've leveled up every other hand at the same time! (P.S. (Minor Spoilers) I am pretty certain Leveling up Black Hole would level up all the hidden hands as well; You can't unlock these associated planet cards unless you've managed to play these hands previously in a particular run though; Planet X: For every level, add an additional +3 Mult and +35 Chips to the results for getting Five of a Kind. Ceres: For every level, add an additional +3 Mult and +40 Chips to the results for getting a Flush House (a Full House, but all in the same suit) Eris: For every level, add an additional +1 Mult and +40 Chips to the results for getting a Flush Five (Five of a Kind, but all in the same suit).)

[@hephestusbh1803]

Why would playing flush be boring, nothing in this game is boring especially with Olexa, he just lights everything up

[@johnwarner4178]

Absolutely, and flush builds can be fun now nutty. But for a bit more challenge I have stayed away from them lately

[@toz_lmao]

YOU MISSED THE BLACK HOLE OLEXA 🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@in4807]

22:18 never forget

[@arcfox5054]

I've been checking your account multiple times in the past few days itching for more Balatro. Pumped to see more.

[@arcfox5054]

x3 mult and then x3 mult again is equivalent to x9 not x6

[@krayolakraken]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@danielloop9385]

Is plus not mult

[@arcfox5054]

​@@danielloop9385Blackboard is x3 not plus and that was the one he was retriggering

[@krayolakraken]

@danielloop9385 It's not adding x3 to x3 making it x6. Its multiplying by 3, then multiplying by 3 again. Example: 1 x 3 = 3 x 3 = 9 Not (3+3)2 = 6

[@beannation5149]

Something very special appears during 22:19, something i don't think orlexa saw. Wonder what that card does?

[@Smellyalater]

Upgrades each hand by 1 level

[@siminnie6242]

I was SCREAMING you missed a black hole! It’s such a good card level up every hand by one

[@Spindown8]

​@siminnie6242 I'm with you my guy, OOF

[@まつりのお兄ちゃんになりたい人]

​@@siminnie6242I'll just comment this for olankey: I don't play those hands anyways why should I care?

[@GeorgeN-ATX]

How can you not play those hands? It upgrades every hand, the only way it somehow wouldn't increase your score is if you had absolutely no way of coming anywhere close to winning regardless of what you do after choosing it​. @@まつりのお兄ちゃんになりたい人

[@irossinante]

Turn on the ability to have each suit a different color (in the settings). Makes it so much easier to not throw out spades when you’re looking for spades. Lol

[@OlexaYT]

Huh that’s interesting

[@GeorgeN-ATX]

​@@OlexaYTBlack Hole missed at 22:15 I am curious if it levels up all hands including the hidden hands even if their planet cards haven't been unlocked, or does it only level up hands non-hidden & unlocked hands? You probably already know but, you can't unlock the planet cards unless you've managed to play the corresponding hands previously in a run. ____________________ Secret Planets/Hands: Planet X: For every level, add an additional +3 Mult and +35 Chips to the results for getting Five of a Kind. Ceres: For every level, add an additional +3 Mult and +40 Chips to the results for getting a Flush House (a Full House, but all in the same suit) Eris: For every level, add an additional +1 Mult and +40 Chips to the results for getting a Flush Five (Five of a Kind, but all in the same suit). And of course the secret Black Hole Planet: levels up everything.

[@CmdrCorn]

I love a four color deck, but their choice for colors bothers me... Diamonds should be blue, because real life and Minecraft, and spades are green, because they're clovers... This has been the way on like every online poker platform since forever, and it drives me crazy.

[@Bluhbear]

@@CmdrCorn ...I would say _clubs_ should be green, maybe. They're at least clover-shaped, even if they aren't actually clovers. I think spades should be blue and diamonds should still be a warm color of some kind, since they're normally red.

[@itzipocalyspe9396]

You don’t have a times 6. You have a times 9 it’s times 3 twice. Regardless, very nice run! When will you be tackling the challenges?

[@bbittercoffee]

RIGHT?! I was SCREAMING at my screen every time oh my god

[@elijahpatterson2596]

Same. Every time he said, "times 6," I became mildly infuriated.

[@mikeb4502]

Its insane how much anxiety I have because he's playing for flushes but isn't sorting by Suit for the vast majority of the video.

[@OlexaYT]

Just… look at the cards lol

[@mikeb4502]

Dang, why didn't I think of that, lol Keep it up found this game because of your vids when it was still a demo, its become one of my favorites. Appreciate you my man. @@OlexaYT

[@tomx_pl7760]

22:19 He missed a Black Hole. Those level up all hands by 1

[@XypherFTW]

How dare you misplay certain aspects of the run and still win, Tyler! Dont you know you couldve played perfectly and still won??

[@christianschulte5527]

Loving playing and watching Balatro! Keep em coming! P.S. you made a club a wild card when running clubs! You should have done that to one of the other suits. Random thought I had

[@connorbell5030]

U can move the jokers mid round so if blackboard doesn't trigger u can move blueprint to the left of ur other jokers

[@gimpzilla]

Craziest flush build i did had 2 specific jokers: straights can skip a number, and flushes and straights only require 4 cards... I basically was being dealt straight flushes every opening hand and had my neptune to rank 12. It was a lot of fun

[@hephestusbh1803]

Did you even notice that other card 22:17 I want to know what that did!!

[@eugorov13]

Upgrades all by one

[@chuckieperson]

It's a special spectral card that you only find in the celestial packs. There's one line that in the tarot packs too

[@jacobias13]

Tyler, your algebra teacher would be so disappointed right now 😂

[@andscifi]

the raised fist is fine. But it's not that good. It's got a max of a 20 multiplier and you only get that if you're lucky. Meanwhile there are other commons that if you build around can go way higher than that.

[@OlexaYT]

Ehhhhh I really don’t think “you only get that if you’re lucky” is fair here. You can manipulate raised fist to be 16-20 mult every single time. People will carry a “suit give +4 mult” joker forever when raised fist is significantly more reliable

[@andscifi]

@@OlexaYT It's probably not entirely fair. my point was that it doesn't need to be uncommon since there are other commons that have the potential for significantly higher bonuses without really having to play around them much more. The fist just gets going a bit faster.

[@shadowofdeath8000]

I know you read these sometimes(insane if you ask me, but nobody did). So anyways, Afaik, buying the blank voucher on 10 separate runs unlocks a better version of it(hilarious I know, bit it gets even better). After doing this, buying it again in a run gives you the opportunity to buy its upgrade in a future shop. I have no idea what it does, but there you go. Maybe someone who knows more can add to this

[@iconica9516]

one of my favorite balatro runs are whe none run starts good but then gets off the rails and turns into an entirely different run this was just a spade flush build that turned into a spade(s in hand) diamond flush build wonders of balatro X turns to XY and then all Y

[@KitoBallard]

it pained me seeing him miss the black hole XD

[@mkol1998]

This game turned me into a crow. I just want all the shinies!

[@Phrostbitex]

Finally won my first game of Balatro. I was messing up with the card orders. Glass cards go at the end lol.

[@ZeDlinG67]

nice black hole skip at 22:19 :D

[@viziroth]

you got the sunk cost brain on getting diamonds from that double specter going diamond, glad you figured it out and stopped adding more

[@bluedude3313]

A Hydration comment that isn't awesome and rad? Is it impossible?

[@p6n7l]

Just gonna put this out here, buying the blank voucher 10 times unlocks something so you should get started on that

[@iconica9516]

me when my city is called balatro and i customize my flush to make a fart sound effect

[@m0002856]

As far as deck unlocks go- I do thinks it’s a bit unfortunate that there are some decks which require you to play the ascension to unlock considering the ascension level is tied to specific decks so like… when I was grinding out the last decks, I was just playing the flush deck (26 spades 26 hearts) because it was strong enough by itself to jump start me all the way to orange stake. Was it the best at beating orange stake? Hell no it was not, but it’s not like I could swap back to another deck now XD So I dunno. I think the deck unlocks should be tied to specific events you can do agnostic of the ascension. I like the challenge of needing to clear every ascension level with every deck if you want to 100% the game, but it does feel bad when there are non-cosmetic unlocks tied behind clearing the higher stakes with the current system. I would also hate for them to just allow you to play any deck at any stake because it would dramatically lower the amount of content I have left to do (I would basically be done with the game this very second if that were the case) while the urge to level up my other decks and clear all ascensions currently is driving me to keep going.

[@googolplexfpv]

Got to showman earlier today and got me 3 Cavendishes

[@iconica9516]

I love how this isn't even just 9x mult it's 27x mult incredible

[@PlayAndRage]

Tyler, if you purchase the blank voucher 10 times it will unlock the antimatter voucher (gives +1 joker slot) ❤❤❤

[@thegrimghoul]

Insane that you got something that benefits from only clubs and spades in your deck and you decided to run at diamonds with full force rather than converting them to something else

[@OlexaYT]

There’s no reason to convert them if you play them. It’s a hell of a lot harder to fully remove hearts and diamonds. Just utilize the diamonds instead and thin one suit

[@thegrimghoul]

@@OlexaYT nuh uh

[@OlexaYT]

I mean, I literally won the run doing this and brought it to ante 10?

[@thegrimghoul]

@@OlexaYT nuh uh

[@dudesup5057]

​@@OlexaYTto reply in a slightly more explanatory manor, yes you won, well done however @thegrimghoul is right in that theoretically for a more optimal run you shouldve focused more on removing diamonds, or certainly not adding more, although playing for a shorter run is also fair if you were intending to do that anyway, blackboard isnt great for long runs since it lacks any scaling

[@Twarx]

Heeell yeeaah!

[@margoldgallentara8968]

You should always buy blank vouchers, you are going to regret not getting them earlier.

[@ampik5726]

It still pains me to see every balatro player having 70+ money and not rerolling just because its for a 7$ to look for a mult multiplayer. Until I see a Joker that adds multiplayer based of your money that would be nice. Still really great run Tyler! Love your content

[@viziroth]

buying the blank voucher will eventually reward you

[@TheDilla]

I don't understand how olexa came to the conclusion that he wanted more diamonds after getting the card that wants you to have only black cards, but I'm here for it anyways. Fun run.

[@OlexaYT]

Because it’s a unique way to handle the build. And it worked, so I’m vindicated

[@Ghostmann2]

F.Y.I. Blueprint + Chalkboard makes ×9, not ×6

[@nobodyp3546]

Watching this fills me with comfort, as i know I'm not the worst balatro player out there.

[@OlexaYT]

We made it to ante 10 with a super unique build, what do you want from me lmao

[@princequincy5421]

Brother what the actual hell are you yapping about, it was literally a won run

[@nobodyp3546]

My bad it was a bit rude, i only meant it as a joke, also cant wait to see you do the challenges, they are wacky.@@OlexaYT

[@TwitchGDeLL]

Poker isn't winning or losing. It's playing each hand optimally which judging g from comment you didn't do, why so defensive. Not to mention the whole x3 twice tobocle 😂

[@princequincy5421]

@TwitchGDeLL my brother in christ, making big number bigger doesn't matter if big number is big enough
