[@chillfarmer]

I’ve found once you get through the first set of hands (first 3 hands) the game gets a lot easier. I either die in the first 3 rounds or win, haven’t lost to the “secret” final boss because I was prepared for it my first play through. (Granted this is only about 4 hours of gameplay)

This guy saw aliensrock at 2 million and decided to GO OFF

[@Ryzasu]

I got 268 million with glass cards and dusk + blueprint and I also had a x5.0 constellation but I cannot manage to get a polychrome card and then ALSO have enough time to duplicate it let alone getting the specific jokers on top of it it definitely requires a lot of luck. I didnt use a specific seed for this btw I just try to find my own seeds

[@fanofswitchfoot]

I was blown away when aliens rock got 2 million. This is insane

[@koiosdamocles1090]

I think 5 of a kind upgrades easier than flush house i think in 3 upgrades it is a higher value. Also in this specific seed i think scholar might be better than stencil mostly due to the increased chips but the mult isn't bad either.

[@Dean.....]

Pretty sure flush house has higher bonuses per level compared to 5 of a kind, makes sense because it is easier to build a consistent 5 of a kind deck. flush house gives +5 multiplier per level but I don't remember how many chips you get per level.

[@koiosdamocles1090]

By upgrades easier I ment you can get the planet card faster. I think Ceres gives +30 chips and +5 mult for flush house while planet x gives +25 chips and +3 mult for 5 of a kind(I think those are the numbers but they might be worng). But even with that I prefer going for 5 of a kind due to the stability of it but I do admit I thought both planets had a +4 mult growth so my first post is wrong about the upgrade potential of 5 of a kind.

[@Dean.....]

@@koiosdamocles1090 I see your point, the fact that you can't find planet x/ceres cards until you play the hand definitely diminishes the number of upgrades you'd realistically find on your run. Flush house takes too long to setup. I should have saved the seed I got the other day, first round skip for free spectral pack turning every card in the selection into an ace. I think I had like ~12 aces at the first boss blind.

[@k98killer]

Negative joker would have been a good pick up before the final round even if just as a sacrifice imo

[@ShinjiSixteen]

Absolutely ludicrous! Fantastic play, great run!

[@Potentialman-vs2cd]

I remember when this was considered a large score…

[@ColeInTheRough]

This seed is really cool, you can optimize the run more.. I just did a playthrough of it and got 128 billion (but i accidentally sold stencil instead of dna, so it should have been 256 billion), and i think 256 billion would be the highest you can get off this seed (scholar + stencil + dusk +the duping joker, with making sure your polychrome is aces)

[@CatianKing]

I got 400 billion lol

[@ColeInTheRough]

@@CatianKing yeah if you optimize it you can get around 500 i think, i did like 3 runs of it, scholar is interesting but you dont get enough five of a kind levels, and flush house doesnt show up in cards to level in time,, but i've only done like 3 runs so i havent optimized it yet lol

[@realgod1002]

and this is just on a Demo. we don't even have the full potential and this Counter breaks faster than an old mans hip after falling from the stairs.

Imagine what it would have been if you didn't sell ice-cream at the end... you already sold a joker in the fight, and pulled that from a random tarot... I think an extra 4B or so?

[@TheSkjold86]

[@cybs2847]

At 6:58 can you not select 3? Cuz the wording is "Select 2 cards to convert into the rightmost selected card" Makes more sense to me that it lets you select 3 as atm your 2nd card isnt "converting" so you are only converting 1. Idk tho

[@nickdumas2495]

It literally says select TWO cards. Not three. Converting a card into itself is a little odd, but the instructions are clear.

[@mikesmith6129]

I have been screaming this at my screen ever since the game has come out. I’ve watched three different streamers play the game and all of them just select two and every time I beg them to pleaseeee just try three.

[@cybs2847]

​@@nickdumas2495If a card is being converted into itself and counting as "converted" that is far from being clear 🤣

[@Oleg-px3us]

The tarot can't be used if you have three cards selected. It's just misleading wording. It would be much more clear if it said "Select two cards, the leftmost will be converted to the rightmost selected card."

[@Mu7..]

Select 2 cars to turn to the rightmost card, why do you turn one card? Am I missing something? It says you can turn 2 cards so put the one you want it to be to the right and choose 2 different cards

[@milkcartton]

Fr I thought I was trippin

[@pixelated1968]

Its select two cards to turn into the rightmost SELECTED card. Since the game only allows you to select two cards, you can only turn one other card to another selected card.

[@terinrichardson6061]

You select two cards. It turns them both into the right most card. In reality you are selecting two cards and turning the left one into the right one. It’s weird wording.

[@ianputnam1222]

rightmost selected card

[@reginaldhaley3614]

Unless this is changed in the demo it is 2 cards that can change, on goth’s channel he always uses death to successfully change two cards. The “rightmost” card doesn’t *need* to be selected, if you do select it then you should select two additional cards, not one, in order to get essentially three duplicates (ie the rightmost card is never really selected as it can never turn into itself whether or not it is physically selected, its the two other cards that need to be selected) watching skoot make this mistake with the glass polychromes was a bit rough 😅

It's kind of a ripoff that Five of a Kind where everything's the same suit is worth less than Flush House. It should be something special of its own like "Five of a Card", worth 500 x 20 at the start (where Four of a Card would be 250 x 20) or something similar.

why do you pronounce it balatro and not balatro

[@a2rhombus2]

"I think the mult is better" Yeah I think doubling 287 million mult is a little better than adding 100 chips lmao

[@DanRidgEAndMusic]

When you use the Death Tarot card you could be converting an additional card. It converts two to the rightmost but you have only been selecting two cards (including the card you are converting into) when you could be selecting three total; two to be converted and the third being the rightmost in your selection.

[@Skoottie]

it doesnt work that way, it converts two to the rightmost 'selected' card

[@DanRidgEAndMusic]

@@Skoottie Yes it converts two cards not just one into the third (rightmost). Unless it was changed from the previous demo.

[@malfeasantamalgam]

​@@DanRidgEAndMusicyou're thinking of the previous demo where it was limited to 50 rounds and not 5 antes

[@DanRidgEAndMusic]

@@malfeasantamalgam @skoottie ah okay so you could do it in the previous demo im not going crazy. Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense they limited it with some of the new jokers available.

[@Dean.....]

@@DanRidgEAndMusic For a minute there I thought I was reading the tarot card wrong. Being able to convert 2 cards into a 3rd card is very powerful if that was still a feature.
