The dev says this is one of three big announcements. One could possibly be a release date for the mobile version, but I'm not sure what the third could be.

Thanks for this! Saving and checking them but.. I'm more a "Look at me playing a game and tell me what I did wrong at the end" kind of player
I was going to say "ahh, too bad the Internet isn't really helpful for that method of learning", but with AI who knows, maybe that'll be something your computer can do before too long
I don't really understand your comment - sorry! - but I've played some games with the plasma deck and I still have to understand how to play exactly with it, I do good-ish at first but after a few rounds/first boss I do so little numbers and I can't win, having someone watching what I do wrong and telling me would be great
For plasma specifically I'd focus on high additive chip jokers. While that's normally bad advice, consider how crazy good a card with +50 mult on it would be. Now consider that a +100 chip joker is effectively a +50 chip/+50 mult (I know that's not technically true but I'm illustrating a point). Also eventually you do hit a point of diminishing returns because plasma prevents you from having a super high multiplier or chips, so like every build, total score multipliers are the best
The one who played it before me said it was best to get the X multi jokers so I always ignored the + multi ones and even the X multi final score.. I tried but I don't exactly know which ones do that. I should try with what you said and see if it works, thanks! Which poker hand is better with it?
It's hard to offer strong heuristics for Balatro because you could theoretically build up to a point where you've got a crazy high multiplier but if your chips are low it doesn't matter.
For example let's say you've got a face card 4 of a kind build going with: Pareidolia, Zany, Smiley, Trio, and Family jokers. These give you (respectively) all cards are face cards, +12 mult for 3 of a kind, +20 mult for each hand (all cards are face cards), x3 mult, x4 mult for a total of 384 multiplier! On base 4 of a kind this is
However if you were to drop smiley face (+5 mult per face) for scary face (+30 chips per face card) which by almost every heuristic is a bad decision your score becomes:
Which is a way bigger score!
So while people can offer general advice like stack high chips on plasma, always go for total score multipliers, etc. sometimes you just have to evaluate your specific build and figure out the best play
Finally outside of decks like abandoned and checkered which are specifically made to get certain hands, there isn't a "best" hand to go for. The highest possible scores I've seen all come from high card builds but most normal players won't get those. I've won two of a kind runs, flush 5 runs, straight runs, flush runs. You just have to evaluate your deck and tarot cards to see your options
This is interesting to know since I would love to win at least one game with plasma since people said it the funniest deck but for some reasons I can't get past ante 2/3. I'm going to try to play a game or 2 trying to buy chip jokers and tarots hoping for the best, I do really need to understand better jokers and synergies between them
I could have a go at that.
Maybe experiment a bit more. That way, you can deduce yousrelf what works and what doesn't.
The problem is, like I said in another comment, is I can't understand exactly how to play the plasma deck but I'll keep trying!
Well, you must have already got quite a bit of experienge then, since that one get unlocked after the second most difficult stake, right? Have you tried focusing on chips, instead of mult? Chips are way easier to raise.
No, the only suggestion I've got for the plasma deck is to try getting the X multi jokers but failed
With the plasma deck you don't need to balance the chips with multiplier, as it does that for you. So what you want to do is to go all in on either chips or multiplier. Usually it's easier to get chips bonuses early, and then, when you have the opportunity, to pivot into massive multiplier multiples. Or just keep going with chips, if you have enough levels on your main hand - that might be enough to get you through ante 8 on lower stakes
+chips and +multi? Or X multi? I can try to play with more +chips jokers/cards
Start with +chips and look for an opportunity to get a lot of X multi in one go, if possible. If not, just double down on +chips
Thanks for your help! I'm going to try it
