Question about Luchador Joker
Luchador Joker - Sell this card to disable current blind

Does it work like that: I sell it and I just skip the fight?
Right now I am on the final ante and I will fight Amber Acorn so I won't see this card. So I just sell all jokers and I win? Can someone confirm? I am on the highest difficulty right now and would be shame to lose becasue I didn't understand the Joker.

Also can I even sell jokers when I fight Amber Acorn? Not sure becasue if you can, you see the price and sometimes you can know which Joker it is. HELP!

no, only sell it during the boss blind to disable boss's debuff.
So it only disables boss abbility. Kind of useless against Amber Acorn since you don't know which card it is unless it is only one uncommon joker so you can know by looking at sell price.

it is a get out of jail free card. useful when you are getting hit by a boss that ends your run. Legendary card Chicot disable all boss blinds too.

The jokers in amber acorn still play their multipliers when face down so you can figure out which one is luchador. Not really a very difficult blind though.

You also might be able to notice which one it is by it not activating when you play your hand, but at that point you probably already can fix your order and just not care. But yeah, aside from Verdant Leaf, Amber Acorn is the least useful boss for it. May as well keep it to get the completion mark in your collection.

One remedy could be making the Joker vibrating when it's "active", so even against Amber Acorn it can be found immediately. Verdant Leaf... yeah if you see it coming and Luchardor comes up, don't even bother lol.
Apparently you can't see prices of cards when you fight Amber Acorn. I know that I can figure out which Joker is which one after playing one hand but my deck was really depending on positioning and that one hand sadly costed me run. Only one Joker type you can know where it is before playing the hand is when you have eternal Joker.

There's also half joker and photograph, they're a different size.
