I just had a run with a eternal negative sacrifial dagger, eternal stencil and madness. Madness couldn't destory anything but it still grows in mult every time and dagger is sacking a joker and growing base mult all the time. It was glorious! Eternal means it can't be sold or destroyed. It comes with the higher stakes. Its supposed to make it harder, but it makes some jokers so much better

@Vario696 ай бұрын
Eternal jokers should be rarely available in all difficulties, or obtained as effect through a spectral card. Also, all special editions should be more likely to appear, especially negatives. And shop should be bigger by default, so you can choose between jokers instead of being forced into one, if there's any at all, because rerolls are so expensive early on. It's just boring otherwise. Having to play so many mediocre games before the stars align and you get something special going.

Quick question does rearranging the jokers actually help?
@Bobcat0010 ай бұрын
Yes they have a trigger order that sometimes benefits the score when you rearrange
@H3110ification10 ай бұрын
It does. Some jokers add chips, meaning if it says "+150 chips", it adds 150 points to the chips (the blue box). Some jokers add mult, meaning if it says "+10 mult", it adds 10 points to the mult (the red box). Other jokers *multiply* mult, meaning if you have 10 mult and then a joker with a "X 1.5 mult" hits, you get 10 * 1.5 = 15 mult. Now, let's say you have a joker that says "+10 mult" and another that says "X 1.5 mult". Let's also assume that your jokers will activate left to right after you've played your hand. What order do you choose? Let's see. If you arrange it: "X 1.5 mult" > "+10 mult" Then, because your first joker *multiplies* the mult, the game does that operation first, so: (40 * 1.5) + 10 = 70 Now, let's rearrange them a different way: "+10 mult" > "X 1.5 mult" Now, because your first joker *adds to* the mult, it does that first: (40 + 10) * 1.5 = 75 Aha, you now see that putting the "+10 mult" before the "X 1.5 mult" means the mult is greater than if they were switched. That means that, all else being equal, you'll score higher in the second arrangement than the first. This is why, in general, you want jokers that multiply mult to be further to the right than jokers that add to the mult.

Like others said, if you want to stick with it, you have to rely on getting negatives, which just isn't reliable. It's great early game, but its usefulness decreases almost exponentially as the game goes on. I think you just have to be aware that you should drop it earlier than you think, or else you'll find the blinds too big with not enough money or shops left to rebuild after you sell it.
