Favorite/Beloathed Challenge?

[VAL]

So I'm currently 11/20 on challenges. I definitely found some harder than others and skipped around trying to find a method to the madness. I'm curious, which challenges y'all found to be particularly difficult or fun?

Edit: I am back after my long journey of attempting to complete all 20 challenges. Now that I've succeeded, I have to concur with those of you who said Golden Needle was the worst challenge..... it really was the worst one lol

I have to say, I booted up jokerless for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised I made it all the way to ante 4 boss blind.

First time I tackled jokerless, I played without a plan.
The results matched the lack of plan.
Next day I had a plan.
The results checked out.

Went in with a plan to run flushes. Game celestials said here are a bunch of full houses. So I adjusted and won lmao

Jokerless was torture for me. It took lots of hitting my head against the wall even knowing exactly what to do. Sometimes the game just doesn't give enough Glass tarots or Jupiter planets.

Inflation might actually be my favourite challenge because of its interaction with certain niche jokers. Swashbuckler and Vagabond become very compelling when they scale obscenely well either by Mult or creating tarot cards that also sell for a silly amount later on.

You just proved that a flexible plan is better than just a plan!
GG!

I wonder how many players used 4 of a kind like I did? I've seen posts about Flush, Full, 5 oaK. Don't think I've seen any about 4 oaK.

Jokerless is such a fun concept on paper, sounds like the ultimate challenge but in practice it is terribly uninteresting.

For the first time, even after having played with high stakes, I am in an awful mood after one or two runs. I know what I am supposed to aim for but it's just too perfect of a combination of factors. It's all restart, restart, restart. And I haven't even been in the situation of running into Verdant Leaf yet. It's making me lose interest in getting Collectionist++, beating Jokerless might be my final personal objective.

The rest of the challenges were far more enjoyable, Fragile and Double or nothing being my favorite ones.

This is something an upcoming patch will likely fix. (Fixed in the beta experimental)
