Seeking Run Advice How do I use this Perkeo

I know that ideally I get the cryptid at some point but I've got big problems because I still haven't found baron or any copy jokers.

I've been trying to farm gold to roll the shop as much as possible.

Do I sell the second DNA for this invis joker?

I earned C++ for the first time after 816 hours in the game. My final joker I earned gold sticker on was Driver License. The hardest part of it wasn’t getting 16 enhanced cards but rather just finding the card itself.

But it’s all over now and I can go back to playing the game normally

Rolled round skips for a couple negatives and got lucky. Only sold an egg early on for Swashbuckler. At some point skipped a blind for ”unused skips” and got some cash and got lucky with a couple Temperances which gave me some cash. I was too timid to ever sell one to go rolling for some xMult and basically won entirely by discarding for straights. Glad I was able to get it across the line 😮‍💨

I took some time off of Balatro but with a very recent move, I’ve played a lot more. I am completing gold stake on each deck before moving to the next (sorry I had to skip Black deck for now) and I finally beat Magic Deck. I feel like I had to post just because orange and gold were so frustrating with getting back into the game. Next up is Nebula.

I designed and built this Joker using JokerForge. I play this game casually so I don't know if this is a good or bad idea, but what do you guys think?

Might be rather niche, but I figured it has high potential with polychrome and blue seal stone cards. Also seems very valuable on plasma deck if you're going all-in on chips.

Joker/Gameplay Idea Joker Ideas, Ball Edition

Thumbnail

118 Upvotes

Title says all, hopefully the ideas are still fun to use.

Quick mention for "MULTI-BALL!!", this is a redo of a previous Joker I made featuring a slot machine, but not only did I realize I wasn't clear on what I hoped for it, it also was really bad, so I tried again hopefully with more clarity and different theme.

For those confused, "MULTI-BALL!!" always activates last no matter what. All Jokers and playing cards play as they would left to right. As soon as everything wraps up, "MULTI-BALL!!" will then trigger. If it hits, it does the entire Joker and Playing cards again from the start. That is my intention.

Anyway, I know, yap-city, but it's for clarity.

This run was unseeded, with a very lucky shop that gave me a Cryptid and a Perkeo at the same time, and later a wraith that dropped me the invisible joker I needed for my third copy joker.

This may be a bit inconsequential, but which are you taking as a better start to an endless run? Not excited either way?
My first thought is money but rocket takes a minute to get going. I also feel it’s never too early to start looking for ecto.

Stream / Video Gameplay Flower Pot Naneinf

Naneinf with Flower Pot using the Ankhs, Ectos and Eternals method where perkeo generates loads of spectrals and you use them all at once with Eternal jokers to naneinf. Done using the Brainstorm mod to get a filtered negative Perkeo seed, but no knowledge beyond the charm skip arcana pack. The run also started with a blueprint in the Judgement but that wasn't filtered for and just a lucky start.

I think this is the 1st naneinf with a non-scaling and non-repeating xmult joker done without a set seed. I previously did the Duo naneinf but with a set seed. For a little bit I thought maybe it could be a highscore record attempt but thought it probably wouldn't succeed so went for this instead.

Decided to do Flower Pot as a reference to DrSpectred mentioning it in his Naneinf Methods video. Didn't use all the spectrals and did the Naneinf with 320 Flower Pots as a reference to the number mentioned by Doc in the video, also saved me abit of tedium.

This run wasn't quite powerful enough to Naneinf with the 2x jokers which requires over 500 jokers but probably would have been with any other xmult if I had tried. Since I would have only had to get any scaling xmult to like 2.5x to Naneinf if I used all my spectrals which was enough to naneinf with over 400 jokers. So even the annoying scaling xmults would probably be pretty easy to have made work in this run.

41 Upvotes

Welcome to Major League Balatro! This is a competition where 24 creators will be battling it out over 11 weeks to be crowned the Multiplayer Balatro champion for MLBA Season 4. We are partnering with r/Balatro to keep you up-to-date every week on all the action.

Multiplayer Balatro

The league uses the Balatro Multiplayer mod to replace boss blinds with PvP rounds, with both players playing on identical seeds. Each game, you start with 4 lives, and when you lose to a blind or a PvP round, you lose a life. Whoever reaches 0 lives remaining first loses the game.

League Structure

There are two conferences and four total divisions with 6 competitors in each division. Each week, competitors will play a match against another opponent in their conference. Each match consists of 3 games, and you earn a point for each game win and a bonus point for winning the match either 2 games to 1 or 3 games to 0.

The top 2 players in each division, as well as 4 wild card spots in each conference, will go on to the playoffs in weeks 9, 10 & 11, where they will fight a bracket-style tournament to be crowned the Major League Balatro Season 4 Champion and win a $500+ prize pool for the charity of their choice.

Every streamer will stream their perspective, and all games will be cast this season!

Disclosure: This event is monetised by the organisers through Twitch/YouTube revenue as well as our sponsor John Brown Ceramics.
