When you hit Ante 13 (which I only got to with the obnoxious lucky combo of negative fortune teller, astronomer, negative scholar, holo onyx agate, poly chrome constellation, fibonacci, cavendish, holo troubadour- i.e a bunch of jokers to boost my 10 card ghost deck (so I could buy spectral cards) of holo,red sealed mult- Ace of clubs (and 2 steel ones) for flush 5's at level 38 to get on average 600 million chips per hand) you get smacked in the face with a 47 trillion chip small blind and a 94 trillion Boss. How on earth you or anyone got past this point is beyond me, but if you want to share, pretty sure some people wouldn't mind some specific combos to look out for at least.

I've gotten to ante 14 only once, and it was with a Steel Kings deck with Mime + Baron. Those two Jokers together have insane synergy, allowing every Steel King card held in hand to trigger 4 times each. With ~8 cards in hand (more if you have other stuff boosting), that's a total of 32 X1.5 triggers if you play a single high card. With Red Seals on each card and Blueprint it would have gotten even higher.

The only other strategy I've discovered so far that can score extremely high is a deck utilizing Triboulet + Dusk, and playing Flush Five Kings/Queens with Red Seal, Polychrome, and Glass on the final hand. Similarly it's about triggering XMult on cards as many times as possible for a large exponent on the base mult.

I've yet to get past 11. I had a deck that managed a 19 million point hand but ended up decking myself out before even getting to ante 8.

Started playing today and hit Ante 10 with highest played hand value of ~240.000. But the last boss countered my build almost entirely sadly (committed on boosting hearts, boss was weakening hearts...so yeah :D)

I managed to reach Ante 15. It was a Baron+Mime+Blueprint (using blueprint on the Baron to score points but on other jokers for extra tarots+card duplications) build. I used my other jokers to duplicate tons of copies of a Gold King with Red Seal, letting me hit the $400 achievement easily, and then converted most of those into Steel Kings in the post game and a couple to glass. By the end my entire deck was kings, and I think every one of those steel kings activated a 1.5x multiplier 9 times. So I just played one king as a High Card and let it soak up exponential modifiers.

I was "only" one order of magnitude (aka six 1.5x multipliers) shy of beating the small blind on Ante 15. The scaling at that point is insane. I can think of a couple ways I could have hypothetically gotten past that round with if I'd been slightly luckier, but not much farther.

11 and got blown out of the water lol. Scored 6 million, needed 14 million and cards drawn after playing a hand were flipped upside down.
