Guide to Unlocking the Brainstorm Joker in Balatro

Welcome to Balatro, where luck and strategy tango in a wild dance! Today, we’re focusing on the coveted Brainstorm Joker, a card that can flip your fortunes faster than a dealer’s shuffle. So, grab your deck, and let’s learn how to unlock this game-changer!

The Brainstorm Joker is no ordinary card; it’s a Rare gem nestled among Balatro’s 150-plus Jokers. I’ve spent countless hours hunting for it, and trust me when I say that if it pops up in the Shop during your run, snatch it up without hesitation. It’s a no-brainer!

Now, unlocking this joker requires more than luck; you must discard a Royal Flush hand. Sounds tricky? It can be! But don’t sweat it—I’ve got some tips to help you snag this beauty in award-winning Balatro.

How to Get Brainstorm Joker in Balatro

You need to discard a Royal Flush hand in Balatro to automatically unlock Brainstorm.

A Royal Flush is basically the crown jewel of poker hands—five cards all of the same suit (10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace). Getting that perfect combo feels like trying to find Waldo at an overcrowded beach party. But don’t despair; let’s look at how you can boost your chances:

  • Unlock and use the Checkered Deck: This splits your cards into 26 Spades and 26 Hearts, increasing your odds of drawing cards from the same suit.
  • Add extra face cards: Focus on getting those high-scoring 10s through Aces while keeping track of their suits.
  • Turn important cards into Wild Cards: Transforming them gives you flexibility with suits—perfect for forming that royal hand!
  • Dabble with Tarot cards:
    • The Lovers: Turns one card into a Wild Card.
    • Strength: Increases two selected cards’ ranks by 1.
    • The Hanged Man: Destroys two unwanted cards for better odds.
    • Death: Changes one card into another, goodbye lowly 2 of Spades!
    • The Star/The Moon/The Sun/The World: Turn three chosen cards into whatever suit fits best.

If you tinker with these strategies long enough, you’ll eventually pull off that glorious Royal Flush. Once you’ve done so and discarded those five precious cards, congratulations! You’ve unlocked the elusive Brainstorm Joker!

The magic behind This joker “Copies the ability of leftmost Joker”. Picture this: if your left-most joker grants +4 Multiplier and you play down Brainstorm next… boom! You just doubled that bonus! Talk about stacking power!

This means you’re looking at serious multiplier action when played alongside other jokers. It allows for some crazy combos that could make even seasoned players shiver with excitement, or fear depending on which side they’re on!
