How to NOT SUCK at Balatro: Tips, Tricks and Strategies | Haelian

I learned to play Hades from you, then I learned sub-10 min Hades from you, now I'm learning poker on roids from you. Goated.

if Haelian becomes a full time Balatro streamer now i will not complain tbh

I'm an hour into the video now, but it helped me get my first win after a few days. Sometimes seeing a more experienced player doing things and explaining his thought process is beneficial. One of the big things is I learned from the vid is that economy is more important than I thought it to be. I just finished a run with two jokers that had mad money-making synergy : the Faceless Joker that gives you 5 dollar when you discard 3 or more face cards, combined with Pareidolia (all cards are considered face cards). Using a flush strategy, that made me a lot of money per round, which in turn allowed me to buy and skip a lot of booster packs to power up my red card joker. Thanks for posting this, will definitely watch more of your vids

Just gotten into this game and lost the last 6 hours of my life! Real good to know it's opened up a whole new section of Haelian videos to watch too.

Played the demo last night and couldn't stop playing. Played 6 hours straight. Can't wait to get home and play the full game

Played demo for 50+hrs and 1.0 for 20hrs haven't won a run, lol. thanks for the help!:hand-purple-blue-peace:

using the different sorts (suit/rank) to deduce the face-down cards isn't something i'd thought of! lots of useful tips in here

Absolute banger of a game. Thank you so much for introducing me to it

@Haelian You help me especially just by showing how you play/prioritize. I liked learning that you play 'one-handed,' trying to win each blind in a single crazy play if possible to maximize $. And so you naturally lean on discards to start. You always get rid of as many cards as you can at a time. You prioritize lower-number cards, and chase certain hands. This ... feels like the way the game was meant to be played, now that I see how beautifully it capitalizes on Balatro's poker-breaking potential. Thank you. I was still in the awkward process of wrapping my head around all this, and you've gone and done a good chunk of that wrapping for me.

5:00 Got this game yesterday and I'm loving it. I find this is a bit of a theme with the card descriptions though. There's a lot of ambiguity, and I find myself just having to test things to see if the text means one thing or another. One example is the "max" for doubled money. It's not clear whether the maximum is the final total, or the maximum amount that can be doubled. ie: doubles your money (maximum 20) could mean you can double maximum of 10 to 20, or a maximum of 20 to 40.

Haven't finished but it looks like you don't try it: I think if you duplicate photograph instead of the face card retrigger card it goes: Photograph is duplicated and triggered twice on the first face card, then the face card is retriggered, making photograph trigger 2 more times. So you would get 4 triggers of the X2 instead of 3

When you had just one face at the end of the hand, the duplicate was better on photograph because it triggers 4x instead of three. The only case I can see duplicate being better on the  "replay all faces" joker is when you played a hand with 3 to 5 faces I guess for the synergy with the hearts multiplier. Am I missing something?

You won my like as soon as I saw a cat walking across the screen

I love the artwork in this game. So much soul.

Wouldn’t the joker @ 01:29:20 trigger per card played? Not per hand? So 1 hand could have yielded $35 factoring in the debuff?

Could be a total coincidence but while watching this video, I finally beat ante 8 on a deck I have lost 15+ runs in a row on. So I'm going to choose to give you all the credit! Shout out to a king. I'm new here and just subbed, you're a really cool guy and I like how you interact with your chat. I don't bully backseaters but you give them just enough information for them to realize that they don't know what you know, it's beautiful and I'm going to stick around and watch the other balatro videos now. Thanks again for the great tips.

10 hours in I kept getting stopped ante 7. After watching your video I focused on money economy and shot up to ante 11! Thanks!!

Man i got a killer combo this morning. One of the new jokers adds a x3 multiplier if you play a hand twice in one round. Also the one that lets you sell cards (jokers, celestial and tarot) for x.5 mult. Grabbed a Double Tag and a Pair Orbit. I was getting Pairs worth $20,000 before i got knocked out by a boss blind that only lets you play a single hand, and if I'd read it probably I'd have kept going.

My question would be, if you trigger a glass card multiple times because of Jokers, does that mean that one in four chance of breaking get triggered multiple times?

I beat the game on easiest difficulty with five different decks by now and I think I played about 10-12 hours, but still watching this to see how someone else approaches the game because while I generally know what I'm doing, I suck at expontential growth, I had a game where I had +200-300 dollars constantly but by ante 10-11 I couldn't keep up with the blinds. The joker combinations just weren't working out.
