Best Of
Jokers are an integral feature of theBalatrogameplay.
Each Joker unlocks a unique ability, and some abilities have more of a positive impact than others.
Here is an overview of the ten best Jokers inBalatro.
What Is a Deck-Building Game?
Chicot
Chicot is a Legendary Joker that disables the effects of every Boss Blind.
Some Boss Blinds have effects that directly counter your deck, making them extremely difficult to beat.
For example, The Arm Boss Blind permanently lowers the level of every hand you play.
This is where Chicot Joker comes in handy.
It counters such effects, effectively turning the Boss Blind into a regular Blind with a higher base score.
Interestingly, you dont need the Matador or Luchador Jokers when you have Chicot.
Dusk
Dusk is an Uncommon Joker that triggers all already played cards in a rounds final hand.
It effectively doubles your scored Chips, turning an average hand into an excellent one.
Rocket
Rocket is an Uncommon Joker that rewards you $1 at the end of every round.
Moreover, the reward increases by $2 when you beat a Boss Blind.
Rocket can help you earn more money over a shorter period.
Notably, Rocket doesnt have any special triggering requirements, unlike other Economy Jokers.
Ideally, you should give a shot to get Rocket early in a run to maximize its earning potential.
Yorick
Yorick is a Legendary Joker that gives you a X5 Mult bonus after you use 23 Discards.
It is especially beneficial when focusing on the Three of a Kind hand.
The Joker is reliable and relatively easy to find, considering it is common.
Notably, not all cards in the hand need to score to trigger this ability.
Hiker
Hiker is an Uncommon Joker that awards four Chips for every card played when scored.
The ability is permanent, meaning that you keep the Chips even after selling the Joker.
Moreover, the bonus can stack, enabling a single card to gain more Chips multiple times.
As such, Hiker is one of the fastest and most effective ways to boost your deck.
Hiker is especially handy when playing decks with fewer cards than normal, such as the Abandoned Deck.
It also works best with bigger hands.
Supernova
Supernova is a Common Joker that adds the number of times you play a hand to its Mult.
As such, the trick is to play the same hand repeatedly.
It especially works well with smaller, common hands, such as Pairs and Two Pairs.
However, it is also great for bigger hands, such as Straights or Flushes.
Interestingly, you’re free to use Supernova alongside Burglar, which replaces Discards with hands.
For example, it can add 20 to 40 extra Chips to the High Card and other low-scoring hands.
This Joker is especially useful late into the game.
Blueprint
Blueprint is a Rare Joker that duplicates the abilities of the Joker to its right side.
It is undoubtedly the best Joker inBalatrobecause you’re free to double the effects of powerful Jokers.
However, it is worth noting that it doesnt work on every Joker.
Specifically, it cannot duplicate any passive modifier abilities.
Interestingly, you’re able to also get Brainstorm Joker to duplicate the abilities of the left-most Joker.
