How are you supposed to get through Ante 11+

[Osamaru]

Even running a level 27 Flush deck with a lot of multiplying Jokers, it I can't even to break 1,500,000 a hand, and that's not really close enough to even beat the small blind (7mil)

[revlayle]

The only way I got to Ante 12+ with Flush was:
- At least 2 of Blueprint/Brainstorm
- Ancient Joker
- Still had a photochad
- Steel cards help
- Polychrome cards helped (Holo to some degree)
- Still need level 20+ on Jupiter

If you got lucky with 4+ copies of a Joker Stencil and nothing else, that could get you there on almost any hand with a good base mult, but that is hard to build that joker line up.

Well, i have 100 hours on this game and my best hand was e24 unseeded. and a good way to get past Ante11 is,

Blueprint+Any scaling Xmult joker like throwback, steel joker, lucky cat, or hologram. Then scaling flush or straight with telescope voucher.

Blueprint plus steel kings, with mime or baron.

Getting lucky with a legendary like perkeo, yorick, trib, or canio

perkeo+ observitory

Glass kings, queens, and jacks with DNA+ Sock and buskin

Photochad (photograph+hanging chad) +sock and busking and maybe cavendish

any of these will easily beat 1.5mil score

hope this helped

Cavendish is nice, but it's not that special to warrant mention here, there's a few 3x mults you can use (Driving License for instance). Or a scaling mult can be pretty easily built up to be stronger than Cavendish.

[burl]

There's a few ultra broken builds, other than that, it's basically impossible

[AlphaGodith]

only thing i've ever seen get there is the mime+baron steel kings with red seals high card build. just TONS of retriggering xmult effects with very specific jokers.

Flush is a slow scaling 5 card hand. Making it one of the worse if you're going for a high scoring hand.

All other 5 card hands scale faster with level. So they're better options.

Or just ignore how fast hands scale, play high card with a "card in hand" setup and obliterate your previous high score.

I've only ever broken a billiobn/hand with flushes. But then I either play with the 2-suit deck or go for the blurry joker that makes it a 2-suit deck, then I stack +suit jokers and finish with a multi like the discard-legend joker, get him up to 5x. Flush gets levelled to 20-25 easily because that's all you do, and yeah it's 5 card hands, but every card scores and you don't need to bother with the every-card-scores guy. I dunno, no clue how I'd build to reliably get 4 of a kind, when I can get a flush every draw. Whats the "card in hand" high card build?

Flushes are pretty weak, as they have pretty poor planet scaling and weak synergies, especially when you compare them to 4/5 of a kind they are just objectively weaker. Their strength comes from how easy it is to fix your deck towards them with tarots.

To reliably get 4/5 of a kind you should be using tarots (specifically death/strength) and open card packs. If you know what you’re doing it’s easy to get half of your deck to be a specific card before beating ante 8. The high card build is reliant on red seal steel kings combined with the baron and mime jokers and is the strongest build in the entire game.

Flushes don't even need tarot. Checkered Deck or Smeared Joker, literally any hand size increases, and you're 100% consistent. It's a classic case of low floor, low ceiling.

True, but they're so easy to get through tarots that dedicating a joker slot for it is a waste. Smeared joker is fine, mainly because of ancient joker, but other non-tarot methods such as four fingers and checkered deck are both very weak when used exclusively for flushes.

I just lost to the Boss Ante on Ante 12, record hand was 6.8 million.

I was playing 2 pair with the Pair of Pants Joker, the Rare Dupe Joker and the Joker that gives +.25 Mult per card added. 85 card deck.

So the Pants joker was at like x30 and each Multiplier was x8.5 if I remember.

I had two other good jokers I cant recall now as well including another x4 Multiplier.

Two Pair was only at like Level 12.

I dont remember having too many special upgraded cards, I mean that would be tough since I had 85 of them. I was playing Yellow Deck I think. One of the basic color decks anyway.

So it can happen sometimes without a whole lot of special cards. Just luck I guess.
