Illusion voucher never in shop?

[Amie]

I don't know if I'm just super unlucky, but the Illusion voucher never appears in the shop for me. I have done the unlock requirement and am buying Magic Trick first so there's no reason it shouldn't show up eventually, right? I'm starting to feel like I'm missing something here and it's really annoying me.

There are A LOT of vouchers in the game so just because you bought the Magic Trick doesn't mean Illusion will spawn, because the game can spawn all other Jokers plus repeat if you skip one. One thing I can recommend to increase your chance is to use Anagylph Deck, save double tag, and skip for "Add Voucher to shop".

Oh, yeah, I'm aware. As I said, I've unlocked all of them and encountered every other one in a run. It's just weird that after probably over 20 hours of having this one unlocked I still haven't seen it in a run even when trying to force it. Will try Anaglyph deck strat though, that's a good idea!

I suspect the second voucher in a pair is hard coded to be rarer than the first in all cases in addition to requiring the first one before they'll appear.

really depends on luck.
i had the +1 joker slot missing forever, and until 1 round where i got it on ante 2 after i bought blank in ante 1. really really good luck.

At the end of the day, if the chances are equal, it's a one in sixteen chance to see any given voucher, unless you've bought both stages of a line. I suspect that the upgrade vouchers are slightly more common than normal vouchers, but that may just be anecdotal or skewed by my own choices. If you really want a run with it, the Anaglyph strat is probably best.

You can partially increase your chance by simply grabbing all vouchers on sale, as they can't be duplicated (hence removing them from the pool permanently for that run). That said, it's incredibly hard to get some upgraded vouchers, you need tons of Add 1 Voucher Tag and $$$ to afford them, and even then the one you want might not show up after 8 ante. Going into Endless can only get you 2-3 more vouchers until Ante 11 when the scale is too steep for average hands.
