- Investment Tag on Ante 1 - $25 after beating the first boss gives you great econ start, especially since it is hard to buy a lot of useful stuff on first shops.
- Hail Mary skip - If I think I cannot beat an ante before I start a blind, if possible, I might try to skip one or both blinds before the boss, sometimes extra hand levels, cards, or packs can give you something you couldn't make it to a shop for.
- Ancient Joker preservation - When the ante's boss is a suit-debuff, often, after beating the small blind, if the suit of my Ancient Joker does not match the debuff, I will skip straight to the boss. The idea is if I played the big blind, I would have a 1 in 3 chance to get the debuffed suit for my Ancient Joker, which could be run-ending.
I think the change in playstyle from your first to the second attempt reflect a lot of my evolution in the game as well, from focusing on flashy scoring jokers flush runs into more robust, economy based, card enhancement based straight runs (especially since the straight buff earlier this year).
I wish I had found your tip about going for an easier deck for the sake of win consistency sooner. I've spent a lot of time using the Anaglyph for the negatives, which is a good strategy early on when you have a lot of missing jokers to get a gold sticker on, but gets weaker later on when you're only missing a few. I'm still missing a couple stickers and will certainly go for the blue deck for those.
Didn't realize it was private! Changed it now. It's at 161 because I had to do another run to trigger the c++ achievement.
Yes there's a better way to track stickers than the in-game stats. I used this tracker: https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1bzsob7/comment/l0zbkti/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
That is a very useful post, thank you, i'm 6 hours in and managed to beat the first run twice with red and yellow deck, I am still learning lots of mechs, but i'm taking notes here, thank you a lot
When I say "stickered joker" I mean a joker with a gold sticker on it, i.e. one that has previously been taken to the end of ante 8 on gold stake.
To clarify the other thing - I mean that the aim is to rely on only 1-3 jokers to actually win. The remaining joker slots can then be used for jokers that just "join the team" for the purpose of earning a sticker on them, even if the jokers themselves are duds.
Hope that helps :)
ah sorry, now i get it, to have space for jokers that dont have the the gold one yet... seems kind of hard though to get the legendary ones...
the legendaries were actually not a problem at all, on either attempt. this is for 2 reasons: 1) legendaries are pretty strong so if you get one then you can usually win, and 2) the game is programmed to give you legendaries that you don't have gold stickers on :)
