      первые 10 часов я ничего не понимал, а сейчас я всё понимаю, но адово misplays на золотой ставке. А белая ставка такая простая, что очень приятно выигрывать чувствовать себя богом в balatro на несколько мгновений. Золотая ставка никого не щадит. Чтобы победить надо смотреть на игру под другим углом и у тебя всё получиться. have a good luck)
      he play realy bad. Just find any tier list for great knowledge

      Chips and mults are calculated separately so that doesn't matter. We have to care about moving mults and times mults around.

      Honestly, sometimes in games like this, you're better off starting an entire new "account" because sometimes you ONLY wanna discover certain jokers. Sure some unlock way later but sometimes you can have a wealth of options that leads to a LOT of trash in the heap.

      My guy hates the PC. He’s fine if I game on the sofa where he can chill next to me. But the PC he will lose it if I get in there too early in the evening. He will even bark at me to come play. And he gets a good 2 hours a day of walking, dog park and fetch.
      He is small so sometimes I put his little bed on the desk next to the monitor and he will chill.
      He also hates me looking at my phone if we are playing a game like fetch.

    I have to give an update! Thanks so much for the advice, I've won 2 games already and I had lost tons before watching this vid. My best game so far is red deck base difficulty and my jokers in order from left to right were Hologram x3 75 multi, a polychrome Blueprint, Baseball Card, a polychrome Burglar, Four Fingers, and finally a negative Splash. Also I had several hands leveled up the highest being my Flush and Full House at level 7 each. Lol I decimated the final Ante 8 boss Violet Vessel very large blind. 😅 I know I still have lots more to learn and unlock but it's nice to finally start winning!! Super addicting and fun! Thanks again for helping me to start to learn and understand the game!! 👍🃏

    Excellent guide and tips. Not too long, direct and to the point, and actually helped a lot.
    After entering the game more or less blind for about 8 hours, the best I could get to was the Boss Blind of Ante 7. After learning the tips from this video, in just another 1-2 attempts, I managed to push through Ante 8 and complete my first game. Particularly useful to hear the train of thought on why you pick and stick with certain jokers, even if they may not seem like they're the best option yet. My winning run had Constellation and Hologram, which I could then focus on getting the planet cards and new playing cards to stack the multiplier.
    I think another very important thing I gained from this guide is to not be afraid to discard to get the 1-2 excellent hands. That really helped me get that few extra dollars early on, which I think ended up being important to the run. And also reminded me to just continue discarding for that winning hand after I know what cards I need based on the jokers I have.
    Thanks a lot. You're good with guides.

  • @Randomyoutuber-4831
    @Randomyoutuber-4831 5 месяцев назад +4

    This video pointed out what I've been doing wrong for the last few runs: I've been too stingy with my discards, trying to go for multiple hands at once as a safety net when a 'high risk/high reward' approach tends to get better results where I commit entirely to one hand.

    This video is AWESOME. One tip - you're targeting new players like me, who probably don't know the cards well. It would be helpful to read out the description or explain the effect instead of just reading the title. I kept having to rewind and pause to figure out what the cards you were picking do 😅

    An additional (nitpicky) tip for 19:30!
    You're going to get free mult for every hand that's not of your most-played type (Obelisk)... so rather than winning the round in one shot with fibonnaci 2-pair, you could have played some low-scoring high-card hands first. Your econ was just fine at this stage of the game, so at this point a few less dollars for free mult is amazing.
    That being said, I've beaten the game a bunch but I'm only up to stake 3 for each of my unlocked decks.
    I learned a ton by watching your playstyle. Thank you very much for this vid!

    12:00 Another benefit to that particular tag with your setup is that, if you got two Jokers you didn't particularly want, you could sell them and not only get a bit of extra cash, but also power up your Campfire for the boss. It's a nice example of Tag/Joker synergy that I think a lot of people tend to sleep on at times.

    @RayVitoles Месяц назад

    One thing i want to add as a tip is what you mentioned about the chips.Chips scale good enough with planets most of the time ,and i think they are underrated in general,but what you must keep in mind is that you want your chips to be even with your mult.This is because in every multiplication ,the squared number is the strongest if you have a+b=c and 2d=c for example then d^2 is higher than a*b(for example 3+1=4 and 2+2=4,3*1=3 and 2*2=4 ,4 is higher than 3)So in the late game,your mult tends to hit high and chips fall off,you need some kind of way to back them up.This is also important in those high score runs and this is also the reason why plasma deck(which evens the numbers out by itself) scores the highest scores

    • @Droid6689
      @Droid6689 8 месяцев назад +1

      You might need to get some unlocks and decks first. I find the yellow deck to be one of the best and most resilient.
      Just focus on your boss blinds each ante. If you build a deck to beat your ante you will get to the next one.
      A good tip is that you don't always want to use a tarot card right away. A suit or enhancement tarot in your pocket can let you beat a boss blind when you might have not drawn the card if you used it before the match.
      Edit: For example, on the hardest difficulty I just bought a spade tarot going into the big blind that halved base chips/mult. I lucked into a full house opener that would've been x4 halved to x2. I used the tarot to make it a flush house which was x14 halved to x7. With my jokers, that let me beat the boss in one hand with zero discards when otherwise I might have lost

    Awesome video! One thing I noticed is that you kept playing your gold cards/beating the round before using all your hands. Holding one ears $3 per hand, whereas keeping the hand only makes you $1 at the end of the round, so it might theoretically be best to keep playing low non-synergistic high cards while keeping the $3 gold card generation in the hand, until the last hand where you go for the win. I assume the trade-off (and perhaps the reason you didn't do this) is that you can risk losing it all by going down to the last hand. Or just play faster in exchange for a bit of money lol. Let me know if there's a different reason for this

    I like to take the yellow deck and look for ways to get more money early on. That money can pile up to the point where you can buy anything you want. Gotta ditch the money generating jokers at some point though for multipliers. I think missing my window for that sunk me in that run last night.

    Great video! I have a big question though. Is it reliable to think every run is possible to win or the rng makes it so that no matter what strategy, you simply can’t win?

    • @ZainoTVLive
      @ZainoTVLive  8 месяцев назад

      I think just about every run at lower stakes is winnable if you replay the seed. However, I am not sure at high stakes. This question is a bit over my head and for the true hardcore gamers in the Discord/Reddit.

    Good video.
    Do you generally just only buy the super strong jokers? I usually try to fill out my row immediately with good/decent ones and will just sell once i find better ones. Or is that just because you found a mult so early? Or do you just find it more efficient to save the money?

    • @ZainoTVLive
      @ZainoTVLive  8 месяцев назад +1

      Tough question to answer as it differs. I normally add as much mult/chips early as I need to get past Ante 3, and then save, only adding good jokers or jokers that align with the style of play/deck that I seem to be going.
      However, this changes depending on the stake/my economy, as well as if I had to spend big on an amazing joker in the shop or not.

    @Evan_Schaefering 7 месяцев назад +1

    I had about 6-7 hours in Balatro before watching this video and hadn't yet won a run and was getting a little frustrated. I was pretty consistently getting to ante 6+ through okayish fundamentals but runs never really panned out. After watching this, things finally clicked into place and I pretty handily won the first run I played. Perhaps it would be a little bit too much hand holding but I feel like the tutorial should take the time to make note of the differences between additive MULT and multiplicative MULT.

    I do like the tips you give. I've only won one game so far (how I did, idk) but I'd really like to know how and why people swap the placements of the jokers around. Was hoping you'd get into it here but unfortunately not. I don't really exactly understand why certain placements are better than others. Would be nice if you'd make a video or could explain with which order the Jokers should be to get out as much multipliers as possible :)

    • @ZainoTVLive
      @ZainoTVLive  8 месяцев назад +3

      I'll absolutely make a video about this, thanks for the comment. For the time being the quick idea is to place your +mult before you xmult the reason is: (2+2)x4 = 16; however, if I multiplied first it would be 2*4+2=10

    I had to have been playing for about 20 hours or so now at this point on my switch and not once did I see MANY of the jokers or planet cards you referenced. Do they only pop up when playing with certain decks? I've mostly been only playing with the yellow deck because I wanted to unlock the ghost deck just because it sounds cool lol I have no idea what benefits if any apply to it. But yea... Wtf does planet x do? And I've yet to see fibonacci yet I hear everybody reference it. Weird
