Made a 3x3 of what I’m currently messing around with to make it easier.
I’ve been playing the occasional Balatro run. I’ve gotten to that point of my life where I appreciate the consistency of the high card build more than the power of the usual flush spam. Also I had a successful Obelisk run, one of those jokers that’s very good in theory but you need to have the right setup to successfully pivot using it.
Huh, how’d you do the Obelisk run? Pivot into high card or pair or something?
I had played around 10 flushes. I basically had to get a bunch of copies of a single rank of card, then I played every hand type I could. The secret is to always avoid playing pairs and high cards, because if you play those too often you’ll max out on the hands you want to use as discards. Eventually, I had several copies of an 8 card so I was consistently drawing 3oak, 4oak, 5oak and flush of a kind, which allowed me to play each of those in moderation so I simply kept powering up the obelisk across the course of the run.
I’m almost gold on all decks. Been wanting to do more edits to the images, though. It’s really simple modding and gives me a reason to draw/edit stuff.
