Finally got the 100 mil achievement thanks to these tips! Got all the way to e11 actually, using Plasma deck and focusing on individual cards as you suggested, making lots of copies of Steel ones with DNA and Tarots, and retriggering with Mime and Brainstorm (got a little lucky with the jokers too obviously). Once I leveled up High Card enough it was just a matter of drawing as many of the Steel cards into my hand as I could and playing single cards. It's pretty cool to play a single card and have it score in the billions.
Thank you so much Zaino! I've been playing for a week now and I just watched this video yesterday. Not only did I hit 1 billion for the first time just now, I actually got my first e! This video was extremely helpful❤
I was asleep on The Idol. Didn't lnow it weighted its bonus to the card(s) you had the most of. Hidden information like Idol vs Ancient Joker like you mentioned might make a good topic for a video.
I know these videos are old but I just got into this game after seeing it on the game of the year list. This is the best channel for the game on TH-cam. Balatro university is great but You cover in 20 minutes. What takes him an hour and a half to explain
i would LOVE to try the plasma deck but i cant for the life of me win on blue stake... i only have it unlocked with red deck, should i try going for a different deck?
New to the game here.. why you only focus on King Heart and not diversifying to other suits? What if the boss blind debuff is heart debuff? I coincidentally growing Ace heart and lost to the debuff..
So you can use bloodstone if need be - but it doesn't have to be hearts. Especially if something like spades was debuffed early, it makes so sense to do it to avoid what you're talking about.
I’m new to the game the highest level I’ve got to is 7 when I played the last hand to get to 8 all my discards were gone I can’t seem to get the level of cards as you show here can’t get anywhere near and it’s only 75k think I must be missing something I mean how do you get all the aces etc
Hey, I’ve been playing for about a month now and beat the gold stake on Plasma, Checker, and Abandon deck. Sort of like what we saw in this video, sometimes you just have to get lucky. For example, with Plasma decks, if I don’t see what I want from jokers or packs after the first ante even if I don’t necessarily lose the rounds, it’s not gonna be worth it trying to get them all immediately in the next ante as I continue so I start a new run immediately. You may have to start a new run multiple times before you get a good base from the first ante and build off of it. Best of luck. It’s an amazing game.
@@ZainoTVLive Oh really? I font have that one yet but is Sounds nuts. Thanks for the answer. This game is not easy. Just this morning I managed to finish my first Run ever After 10+ hours of playing this game. Now though I have the feeling I have the hang of it and since I won the 1st rund its easier to win.
@@michaelcasey5983 Yeah, I have more videos on the channel just about winning a run. Focus on one hand-type and you can win a lot on lower stakes. You got this!
the question I'm really trying to answer...what is the actual pronunciation of the game??? the official trailer says "bala - tro" (rhymes with "gala - fro") yet every youtuber pronounces it "balat - tro"
It’s from the Latin word for “jester”, so going off of that, it’s pronounced similarly to “palindrome”; “bal” as in ballet, a short “a” as in apple, and “tro” as in trophy. And now I’m possessed with the urge to pronounce paladin as “palahdine”
Bro you talk and show things so quickly as if everyone knows what you are talking about. As a noob I have 0 context of what youre talking about and its so hard to follow along what youre talking about. You need to make it easier to understand and show cards. You are saying if you use this hard this will happen and we cannot see the card you are talking about. Show what you talk about.
Bit harsh, a noob should concentrate on learning the basics rather than getting e scores. This is clearly aimed at people with a grasp of the game and is advanced theory that is clearly understood. Good video.
Hopefully the tips were helpful and let me know how your high score runs have gone!
Great tips man, best balatro yt channel 🫡
Would be cool if you had what the jokere do on screen for the new players.
May have to try plasma deck for my orange stake
Very useful! Helped me get over the plateau I had reached in scoring almost immediately.

AMAZING!
thanks, this was perfect. helped a lot and got me a billion 30 minutes later after hours and hours of struggling trying to get good jokers
Thats amazing to hear!
Thank you for the video, I'll try to apply this tips (and patience) to my new long run attempts!!
Amazing video, I liked how you showed one cant simply score it big everytime!
Thanks for this! I was able to hit my goal of unlocking Stuntman in my first run after watching with a 500m hand.

I'm working on that video for later this week 👀
I really like your videos! Thank you for all those guides! :)
thanks for the guide. definitely helped!

We both provide something slightly different. Appreciate the kind words
I watched this video and got the 100m in like 30 mins. Actually I got 300m in a single hand. Thanks for the guide!!!
So glad it could help!
Thanks, got almost a billion in a hand due to the tips. I was just shooting for 100 mil for the joker lol
Awesome bro, thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍
3:01 "at 1,000 chips and 1 billion mult, you would score 100 billion points" seems to be a typo - but great video otherwise! I learned a lot :)
great video!
i would LOVE to try the plasma deck but i cant for the life of me win on blue stake... i only have it unlocked with red deck, should i try going for a different deck?
I think you can get it on Red Deck as you play a bit more. I would argue Checkered is the easiest though.
New to the game here.. why you only focus on King Heart and not diversifying to other suits? What if the boss blind debuff is heart debuff? I coincidentally growing Ace heart and lost to the debuff..
So you can use bloodstone if need be - but it doesn't have to be hearts. Especially if something like spades was debuffed early, it makes so sense to do it to avoid what you're talking about.
Can you give me a run example of you doing a high score run? Are there any more videos with this example

What is the plasma Deck again?
Balances all mult and chips. So, instead of 50x200 it would be 125x125

On the highlights how do you have so many jokers it’s limited to 5 for me.
Negative jokers. You can get them in the shop or make jokers negative through spectral cards (although that makes your hand smaller)
the question I'm really trying to answer...what is the actual pronunciation of the game??? the official trailer says "bala - tro" (rhymes with "gala - fro") yet every youtuber pronounces it "balat - tro"
I think if you go back to the original Latin word "Buh-lah-tro" would be how its pronounced, but even the maker of the game said he doesn't know haha.
@@ZainoTVLive thats hilarious,

...Yeah I'm not a huge fan of Glass either. lol
It can be useful, but more for one off high score and not high antes
@@ZainoTVLive Yeah, I mean I'll sometimes use them, but I love Steel so much more. xD
multiplies not timeses/times's lol
Blame my 1st grade teacher
