Debuffed cards still count in hand types
I think im starting to hate this game. 80 hrs played not a single win. I used to discard debuffed cards arbitrarily thinking they were waste of space ... i learned that they still count for hand types , just dont receive any chips or bonuses for em....

Yup. I've actually played a fully debuffed hand before.

I did run into one Joker that did trigger off of them (other than Matador, yes you get $8 if you play at least one debuffed card). Now if only I could remember which one it was XD

Not Flower Pot (though I kind of feel like it should, Flower Pot is already a terrible choice over a lot of other xMult jokers).

yeah it is a bit unintuitive at first but it's just how it works. as Draco18s said, sometimes if your build is strong enough, going all-in can still work. like if you're doing a hearts flush build and you get the 'hearts debuffed' boss, sometimes playing a full hand of debuffed cards can still win because it will still trigger the hand level for the base score, and any jokers that trigger on flushes or whatever.

One caveat - "Wild" is a buff. So your wild cards will be their original suit when debuffed, so they may not work in your flush. Just something to keep in mind.

(ETA: When selecting cards for debuffing, the wilds DO count, so a club wild with a seal will be debuffed by a heart debuffer, and then even though it's now a club, the seal still won't go off.)

80 hours no win is insane. i'm not trying to clown on you, just saying - you have to be doing something SERIOUSLY wrong, or missing multiple entire mechanics, to not have won at this point...
