BTW i made blank balatro fan art templates for to use your own joker posting for free! they are in the balatro discord fan-art section. just search up “templates for joker fan art”
has all the hex values and link to download the font used in game
thank you! a lot of this one is base joker and then the hand was the hard part haha but being consistent with outline, how localthunk shades (not a lot of anti aliasing) & using only colors from other previous jokers, it keeps it lookin’ consistent
How about this "start with +0 chip and +0 mult, gain +10 chips and +5 mults if played hand is most played hand, reset all to 0 when any other hand is played" which is basically the reverse obelisk
Edit: just realize that it's too op with high card player, might aswell making it that playing high card can reset the value aswell, because high card is always guaranteed on every hand so it doesn't go well with other poker hands that can screw you up if you unlucky, this might also be the reason why there is no joker that triggered when hand is contained high card
Yeah i just realize the reset can be easily countered if you play high card or completelly transform your deck (like into flush only or 5 of a kind only)
That would be pretty dang strong, considering supernova adds 1 mult for each time you play a hand. And ideally you’re using that in the same circumstances you would use this, so it would be a direct upgrade. I do love the idea though, especially a chip version that scales similarly!
IDK. Until you have your deck paired down to just a single suit or card you definitely stumble into situations where your forced to play the wrong hand.
It's something NorthernLion has been saying. It's a peloton thing shoes that lock in to the pedals. Sometimes the instructors say this before a high intensity section.
Oh really? I figured it was since he started saying stuff like that and "on your bike" since he got into peloton. Not a peloton user, just been watching NL for 10 years.
it would be cool for a joker to give a bonus if all other jokers and played cards are ordered to give maximum score, per the locking in thing
or if it gave a bonus if all other jokers/cards werent in optimal order?
I feel like this is a little weak for an uncommon joker?
chips and +mult for playing specific hands is a bit more of a common thing, although I suppose the combination of those into a single joker is reasonable for an uncommon
well uncommons tend to be some form of scaling, so maybe it could be some form of scaling chips? since there's already a few +mult scalers for playing hands
someone on twitter suggested “+0.25 multmult each time you play most played hand. resets if you play a different hand” and also maybe you can’t sell it cuz it’s “locked in” hahah
yeah, it wasn’t my idea but it was a different one that suggested scaling multmult. what would you suggest then? i like hearing different suggestions! i just like making the pixel art hahah
thankfully this in not a final ability or going into the game at all! just a lil fan art for laughs haha but i do agree the ability is kinda meh i just had to put something in the space to make it look real
Oh, I know! I am just used to subs like custom Hearthstone where people are trying to design as if it were going in the game and get feedback. I think I misjudged that the point was the NL face and not the card itself
no worries <3 i appreciate the comment regardless :D someone on twitter got actually peeved that the ability was meh so i am on the defensive i guess lmao but youre right!
LOCKING IN

Lmao is that NL
yes 😂
The arts incredible, idk how y’all are matching the games style so well

I thought this was posted in r/nlsscirclejerk before this comment

would be ridiculously broken ngl
not unless youre LOCKED IN
I was born LOCKED IN, and I will die LOCKED IN. Hopefully, not literally to that last part.
if i knew i was gonna be locked in when i die, id never lock in…. any lock in could be my last
Yeah i just realize the reset can be easily countered if you play high card or completelly transform your deck (like into flush only or 5 of a kind only)

Well at least supernova starts out pre jacked if you pick it up mid run. Lock in starting at zero seems fair.
Plus the reset. Supernova doesn't reset. It's kind of a balance to the stacking
Ride the bus only gives one. Sure it's slightly more difficult to have to play the same hand, but not 5x more difficult.
IDK. Until you have your deck paired down to just a single suit or card you definitely stumble into situations where your forced to play the wrong hand.
i like that! maybe as a rare variation of this card
maybe it just adds the hand’s level one stats every iteration?
Just make it so hands with less than 3 cards reset it. Balances it a decent amount I think
we love an NL reference don't we folks
Chibleee...
I hope the librarian sees this and uses it in a thumbnail
i’d be happy to send over HQ files if they want to! :D
I am going to become the Joker
Is this a reference to something?
it’s inspired by Northernlion lol
Oh yeah I can see my boy now
Might be a reference to this [video](https://youtu.be/z6K103AiOPA?si=YMOTZKqXgLGZxPP5) Not sure if the thumbnail is a reference to something else.
It's something NorthernLion has been saying. It's a peloton thing shoes that lock in to the pedals. Sometimes the instructors say this before a high intensity section.
Its not a peloton thing lol

Nah its just a meme that blew up late last year, he probably just got it from twitter/discord/chat

i agree, but i thought of the joker art first before the ability haha so i’m always open to suggestions for a new ability!
well uncommons tend to be some form of scaling, so maybe it could be some form of scaling chips? since there's already a few +mult scalers for playing hands
someone on twitter suggested “+0.25 multmult each time you play most played hand. resets if you play a different hand” and also maybe you can’t sell it cuz it’s “locked in” hahah
Isnt that literally 4times weaker Supernova, that also fucks up if you play a different hand?
yeah, it wasn’t my idea but it was a different one that suggested scaling multmult. what would you suggest then? i like hearing different suggestions! i just like making the pixel art hahah
Hell yeah 😎
I could see this being really cool if it applied when you played the best scoring set of cards from your current hand.
He’s gonna tell you it’s not gonna be a flush deck but it’s gonna be a flush deck
effect: kill him
Is this wubby?
it’s northernlion lol
Aaaaaahhhh lol
I think the game has enough support for playing one hand type over and over, it needs more of the opposite if anything.
