How do you get to Ante 12+?

[Saitama_Fish]

At Ante 12 the difficulty suddenly jumps to another level! If I remember correct the small blind was 7.6M... What build takes you to ante 13+?

I'm genuinely curious

I've also never been able to get past Ante 12 so far.

Even if it seems like I have an unbeatable deck, Ante 12 eventually rears its ugly head and it's a game over.

I don't mind, though, endless mode has got to stop somewhere... but I also did notice the sharp step up in difficulty right there.

Yeah I won with a decently strong flush deck and made it to the small blind of ante 12. Max my hand could pull out was about 1m if everything lined up well.

Hack and/or red seals on cards that trigger some form of xMult due to a joker can get past 12, probably considerably further as long as they aren't relying on glass cards that would likely break.
Ante 12s base is 300 million (compared to 7.2 mil for 11), 13s is 47 billion, 14 is 29 trillion etc.

During the demo there was people hitting hundreds of trillions at ante 6, but that was with glass cards IIRC.

Interesting! Now I think about it glass card is really strong. But it is hard to get and easy to break, what can I say LoL

Generally yeah. DNA is a great way to get them, especially if you manage to get a glass red seal one. But this is pretty much only near-perfect RNG godtier runs. There's a reason you never need to get past ante 12 to unlock anything, it's just a "hey look at this amazing run" kinda deal.

The only way I've gotten to scoring multiple millions per hand is when I have some combination of jokers that retrigger all the cards more than once, and joker that then also get triggered each time the card is triggered.

For instance pareidolia makes all cards act like face cards, then there's a uncommon smiley joker that triggers each face card twice, then the baseball player card that add x1.5 multi each time an uncommon+ joker is triggered is a good combo.

i tuned in a random korean streamer last night that was on Ante 17 lol, all he had were steel king of hearts, not sure what else he ran though, sadly i cannot find back his clips or any past broadcasts from him (푸사)

Given he had all kings he probably went for the joker that gives 1.5x per king in hand, in combination with other multiplier cards.

Huh you sure that wasn't ante 11? ante 12 is usually 300,000,000 for small blind

I can somewhat consistently get to ante 11, but never further, ante 12 is quite insane, i can't even imagine building a deck FURTHER than ante 12.

Pretty sure Baseball Card only triggers for each uncommon joker after scoring is done, not every time an uncommon joker is triggered by a card being triggered.

To get past ante 12 you need a good early setup consist of good vouchers (like telescope , money tree, overstocked) , negative jokers ,economy is vital cause it allows to optimize your deck and focus on only one hand. Spectral cards helps a lot so i suggest using ghost deck. Then glass and red seal is must imo.

I cleared ante 13 once, i used ghost deck and focused on 4 of a kind (Aces). The Grim spectral card , death and strength tarot card helped me to fill my deck with aces. Had 7 xmult jokers. Scored 286 billion . Ante 14 was brutal the small blind requires 29 trillion.

[symphony]

a hand full of poly/holo steel cards with red stamp combined with mime joker

[symphony]

well I don't think the holo effect would actually apply, but say you have mime and 10 cards with both steel and a red dot. it will proc x1.5 three times per card

so 1.5 to the power of 30 aka x191751 + whatever other jokers you have

[Lantantan]

In my best run I had an amazing legendary joker that gave times X multiplier for EVERY X face cards I had destroyed. THEN I had a duplicate effect joker too. Legendary joker came from a spectral deck card iirc.

The best way that ive managed to do it, Flush 5's glass cards with dusk. Flush 5 is the strongest hand. Theres a couple ways to achieve this, death cards and fool cards allowing you to copy the same glass card over and over. DNA is also really strong but its a rare joker so its RNG. Also you need Dusk, blueprint joker is good, chad joker is good, red seals. You can literally double your mult 100 times before you even get to your other jokes and possible steel cards in hand.

Its pretty obvious that these runs are few and far between, the 7 Milli ante gets me a lot, not every hand can churn out that kind of power.

My last run i had 30 glass spade Ace's and i scored over 52Trillion points in one hand and still lost eventually. its important to not make every single ace you have a glass ace as you could yeet half your hand with no notice. I just posted a thread talking about how this was the best meta in beta, and it still is.

Hope any of that helped if you made it to the end of this right on, have a great day. Also one last thing i wanna say, in the last run id mentioned above, i didnt have a single polychrome anything, thats how strong that is.
