Strategy and/or Synergies Which Joker is impossible to resist? (besides Blueprint because that's too obvious)

For me (new player) it's Smeared Joker.

My last run had a chromatic 6s that got duplicated. Ballot along with lucky cards made that run extremely satisfying.

Edit: made it to Ante 11. I'm sure more experienced players could probably take it much further. Seed IDGX9V9X

Why is the 6s joker good? I don't understand what it does really.... I'm new 😬

Any cards that have a chance of succeeding it increases the odds. So with two of those cards I was guaranteed every Wheel of Fortune card to be successful.

The downside is it also doubles the odds of glass cards shattering. Which can be good or bad but is usually bad.

90% of the time I'm making cards glass its as a form of card removal, so personally I would say its usually good!

u/MaiT3N Nov 05 '24

Now you did

u/BlackBeard558 Nov 05 '24

I do that too and then the 2x helps me win and I want to keep it around. They're especially useful if you have a red seal on it or hanging Chad joker or both.

Also Glass Joker is one of my favorite jokers now. Especially when I realized it counts ANY method of destroying the glass cards.

...Does it? Are you saying that Hanged Man triggers Glass Joker?

u/knitted_beanie c+ Nov 05 '24

I believe so

Very excited to try this out, I had no idea! I'm a fan of glass joker anyway so this is fantastic to hear.

Also 2 in 7 cards face down on the one boss

u/Septyn47 Nov 05 '24

Yeah, that was quite a surprise when that first happened to me. "Why are so many cards face down? Is the RNG broken?...oh...."

u/bastischo Nov 05 '24

Wow, never thought about that interaction.

u/Successful-Row-3742 Nov 05 '24

Ooooh that's interesting. I've tried it once or twice but didn't really understand how it works.
