@iRaysraves you're right, they depend on getting the Soul spectral card. Thanks, I'll update the list.
iRaysraves Feb 21 @ 3:42pm 
AFAIK, to unlock Legendary Jokers, you just have to get them in your Joker pile in a run. You get a Legendary Joker during a run by getting a Soul Spectral card, which I think has a chance to show up in any booster pack. I got Yorick and Chicot in one run and unlocked both.

Yorick does nothing until you perform 23 discards after obtaining it. After you get 23 discards, it will multiply your Mult by 5 during scoring.

Hope that helps!
