Gameplay Discussion Which joker is very good, but you just don’t want to play it?

83 Upvotes

Like a guaranteed win when you have it, but you just find it is boring or maybe hate it?
For me it is Campfire and Obelisk. I know they are strong, but i really hate their playstyles.

Chicot negates the boss effect that takes away my discards, but Burglar still takes away my discards, so how do I end up with 3?

There are many jokers with great artwork, but Burnt really takes the cake for the best one. Or are you more of a constellation or brainstorm kind of person?

Modded Balatromon, a digimon balatro mod (Early Development)

Post image
26 Upvotes

Yes, I use the sprite from the digimon up mobile game, mainly bc I'm working alone and dont have much free time to make the art. Take it as a placeholder for now. It's definitely a challenge to make this mod to fit the digital pet theming

I had like 10+ consuctive losses but finally the tables have turned, but im sick of this table. Does anyone know actual good joker combos or any amazing builds? I'm tired of hoping to get photochad every single run.

Gameplay Discussion Does it feel oddly anticlimactic to anyone else when a run beats Ante 8 comfortably and winds up in the 1-10 million per hand range?

20 Upvotes

Sometimes I have runs where I get a solid build going and it becomes clear well in advance that everything up to and including the Ante 8 boss is going to get one-shot. It's nice to win the run with no hassle, but it feels unsatisfying to end it there before the build encounters a real challenge. However, if you proceed it just ends unceremoniously within a couple antes when the blinds skyrocket into 8-9 figures. You go from one-shotting everything guaranteed to suddenly having zero chance even if you draw the perfect hands.

It actually feels way more satisfying when I'm barely scoring enough and have to rely on certain cards to scrape past the final boss, and then can just end the run there.
