Best combo so far

[sab0t]

I just played a game where I found a pretty crazy combination, and now I'm interested to hear about what others have found as well.

I was using the Nebula deck for the first time and it honestly was going pretty poorly at first. I specialized into straights, then found the 'Perkeo' joker (creates a negative of a random consumable after each shop) and was using it to duplicate tarots to enhance various cards. Then I saw the 'Observatory' voucher, which gives x1.5 mult for each planetary card in my consumables for the card's specified hand.

I had this eureka moment where I realized if I got a saturn card in my consumable area, Perkeo could keep duplicating it and then I'd get x1.5 mult for each card from Observatory. It took awhile to get the initial saturn card, but this carried me from Ante 4 or 5 into Ante 12 before my run ended, with 15 negative saturn cards in my consumable area, and each straight I played was scoring between 20,000,000 - 40,000,000 chips. Easily the coolest combination I've found so far.

The best I've ever had was

Caino (Gains x1 every time a face card is destroyed) + Blueprint (Copies ability of Joker to the right) + Brainstorm (Copies the ability of the leftmost Joker)

By the end of the match I think I got Caino up to x11 mult which was copied by the other two jokers. I was earning tens of millions per hand. And this was with only 4 jokers.

I wouldn't call this the best combo but when you play checkered deck and you get Burnt Joker early, upgrading Flush hand is easy and you can get easily lvl 30+ before the final boss.

highest hand still is like 890 billion but i stopped recording the run before it the closest i have recorded is 741 billion off high card and nothing has even come close to this run.

granted this run could have easily been multiple trillion per hand if blueprint was next to mimic making all the steel cards which is the whole deck proc 1 more time but i was still building up critical mass on kings. steel cards proc then proc a additional time from mimic then proc the king joker some crazy math i dont care to do but it probably would have been 235 x 6 billion at the very least.

i was like 1000x the boss blind and only died because i couldnt reroll bosses yet and i hit the boss that kills hearts which is the whole deck.

this sounds awesome, i don't think i've even used either Caino or Brainstorm yet, i assume i have yet to unlock either of these. x11 even on its own is insane let alone being copied multiple times

i haven't really successfully used the burnt joker yet but i guessed it would be extremely strong with high card / pair decks, or if you get the smeared joker then flushes as well. still don't even have the checkered deck yet, looking forward to that

this is so cool, holy crap. how did you end up turning the whole deck into the same card, did you get lots of spectral packs? high card builds seem like they have the potential to get the most broken interestingly

The best I had involved the baseball joker. Reached 600k+ in one hand which is my current high score. I got it early on enough that I was just dramatically one-shotting everything.

40m is so wild though. Good job.

[sab0t]

thanks, i think it will be a long time before i even come close to that run.

i don't think i've even seen / unlocked the baseball joker yet, interesting.

Vampire: Eats enhancements off cards played. Multiplier increases by .1 for every enhancement it eats.

Midas Mask: Adds the golden enhancement to every face card played.

Pareidolia: All cards are face cards.

Every hand your entire play gets golden applied, immediately stripped, and your Vampire's multiplier gets buffed by .5. By the time I got to the end of the run the vampire was in the high teens and I was scoring triple digits off of almost anything.

oh man i really like this one. this feels like something i would've been able to figure out at some point. each of these cards individually are interesting, and together are incredible.

Highest hand ive managed was 1.545 E 13.

That was exploiting some crazy repeat trigger on final hand with a full hand of X2 glass

[sab0t]

holy crap, well done Oxxian. it repeats using the mime joker i'm guessing?

[sab0t]

this doesn't beat the best combo I posted about in my OP, but I ended up with 10 jokers by the end of my most recent game - https://steamcommunity.com/id/sab0t/screenshot/5944259024605896074/

credit card ended up being the last one i bought, it provided no benefit at that point in the game, but it was still cool getting to 10 jokers lol

hiker was the first joker I got, that is SUCH a good joker to get early. I had multiple cards that paired with the bonus enhancement were giving 60 - 70 chips each, and a couple with red seals that were up to around 90-100.

It was using dusk (double trigger on final hand), the water spray bottle, the tragicomic(face cards double trigger) and the kinds and queens have X2 multi when played then I had most of them made of glass so bassically X2 multi repeated 12 times then i had a few other X Multi cards i think you can see the jokers i had in the background of the sceenshot kinda. it was not sustainable further as i was losing glass copies faster than i could make them at that point and my water bottle spray joker was nearly spent.

[sab0t]

very cool. i haven't really considered / tried stacking double triggers like that, i'll keep it in mind. water bottle is always a great pick even though it's temporary.
