When we're in the first round, and the boss blind is "all cards played this ante are debuffed" and the skip tags are both $25, that's the move.

Thanks for making this. I'm not a newbie, but I'm starting to have trouble getting some of the jokers (can't get past ante 11, for example). I didn't just want to read the wiki, so I'm glad you gave some spoiler free tips. I completely missed that the booster packs never contain the cards you have in your consumable slots. Now the legendary joker that creates negative cards makes more sense. I should probably use the blue seal more, but I guess I just love finding those lucky cards that fit my build too much lol
@gxalcremieshiny4229Ай бұрын
as for tip 8: This is the reason I opt to go for 2-rank decks, or 2-rank builds Having 4 decks can be hard to get your flushes with, but having only 1 can be easily countered by a boss So having 2 really just raises your odds to the maximum

I'm new to this game, this week, but I feel like the skip can be pretty handy for getting zero cost powerful jokers early... especially if they come negative and uncommon or rare. I don't bother it for packs or cash, and I haven't been doing it later in runs... but in the first ante or two, I'll go for a free joker. Still new, and I don't really KNOW... but it feels powerful enough to be right.
@Nathan-gs5tw2 ай бұрын
Usually no, since you have no idea what you're going to get and whether it will even help you, and the cost of a rare joker is going to be less than the money you get from a round + interest (and if it isn't yet, it will be in opportunity cost). It's not always a bad choice in low difficulty runs, but in higher difficulties it can easily kill your run. On Gold stake it's basically never worth it.
@plokmingeАй бұрын
You usually don't want the 0 cost jokers as you have no control over what you see. It can be rubbish you don't want. It's worth more to grab money from playing and buying the jokers you need.
@apelikeАй бұрын
@@plokminge If you have no jokers you aren't going to win beyond hand 2-3... and in the first couple hands you aren't going to have money to reroll for the exact joker you need... you have to take temp jokers just to win early hands and a free rare one is a lot better than hoping you get a good one on the one roll you can afford to get one joker.
@gernottiefenbrunner17214 күн бұрын
@@Nathan-gs5tw Dude, the money you get from round 1 is $3 if you're lucky. The Joker you get is worth more than that (pretty much regardless of which one it is), and it has +10 mult, +50 chips, or at worst X1.5 mult.

Reason matters there. This is a new player guide. New players should be trying to play as many hands and using as many different jokers as possible. Advanced players should absolutely skip some stuff when appropriate and ofc in situations like Throwback, 10000% skip everything, but new players wont know when its appropriate to skip

1:29 exactly what do you mean by saying 'increase the difficulty of your run'? Do you mean by just skipping the following round and thus not going to the shop, or does skipping also increase the points required for each round exponentially?
@BeansHamboneАй бұрын
Good question, I mean by skipping you are going to the next round which will be harder and gives you less time to scale your jokers. You also lose out on the end of round money and interest you would normally get by just playing the round, and you miss out seeing a shop which gives you ways to increase your overall build. The blind scores don't scale in difficulty by skipping but you are essentially moving forward in time by one round so you want to ask yourself, "can i beat this next blind with the build I currently have and is the skip tag worth it to lose out on all the benefits I get by just playing the round?" Hope that helps!

Not consistent but you can get a negative joker from Ectoplasm in Spectral packs. There's also just a small chance of negative jokers appearing in the shop so having good econ with the power to reroll a bunch could net you some negative jokers.

@bigcstevens1873 ай бұрын
I think spectral cards are fantastic. Talisman, aura, medium, cryptid and black hole are compatible with any deck. Ankh and hex work the best when you have one joker. Familiar, grim and incantation work great with hologram joker or if you are looking for face cards or aces. Wraith works great with credit card joker or in any scenario where you need to climb out of debt. Ectoplasm is good for mid to late game when you need more jokers. Ouija paired with turtle bean or juggle tag can make a fun deck. Sigil or soul cards are the disappointing ones. Over all about half of the spectral cards can be used with any deck or build, I find them to be more reliable and better than most tarot card packs.
@gernottiefenbrunner17214 күн бұрын
You do end up skipping some spectral packs (especially the small ones), but when you don't, they're way stronger than tarot packs, so still worth it
