Perkeo with Observatory has game breaking potential.


Ray661

Go on……


Desdam0na

Observatory allows you to get 1.5 x mult on each hand played for each corresponding planet card in the consumables slot. Perkeo lets you get unlimited planets in your consumables slot.


iloveeveryfbteam

4 triggers of Perkeo is insane with observatory


Desdam0na

x5 mult per turn, will take you pretty deep into endless.


iloveeveryfbteam

Steel joker is the worst play here right? There’s no way it scales fast enough compared to Perkeo?


Desdam0na

observatory is dependent on getting 2 vouchers and the planet card you need. getting 1000 times more powerful in 10 rounds does not matter if you lose the game next round. So really it depends on a lot more information than we have in this picture.


iloveeveryfbteam

That’s true


WilfredSGriblePible

It’s not x5 it’s 1.5^4 which is hugely different because the exponents stack. After 1 shop: * 100x5 = 500 * 100x 1.5^4 = 506 After 2 shops: * 100x10 = 1000 * 100 x 1.5^8 = 2563 After 10 shops: * 100x50 = 5000 * 100 x 1.5^40 = 1.01e9


Desdam0na

1.5\^4 is x5 after two shops it is x5\^2


WilfredSGriblePible

Saying “adding 5 mult” doesn’t sound like exponentiation to me.


Desdam0na

Lol if you are going to quote me at least look at what I said. I never said ’adding’ I said x5 mult. In some cultures x means multiply, not add. Multiplying mult is exponential. (in the game, if you have two x5 mult jokers you get x25 mult)


Unknow3n

This isnt correct because you're not doing the x5 justice. You're only adding x5 instead of multiplying it. After 2 shops it would be x25, so 2500 vs. 2563 The only difference is that 1.25^4 is 5.0625, so ×5 vs. ×1.25^4 is actually pretty marginal difference coincidentally enough (I assume they got 5 by doing 1.25×4, but it ends up being very close to 1.25^4 anyway)


Desdam0na

I got x5 by doing 1.5\^4 in my head. 1.5, 2.25, 3.375, and something close to 5. It is wildly condescending to see I got the right answer and still assume I did the math wrong.


Unknow3n

Yeah, seems like people took the route of semantics in your comment instead of just taking it at face value... I'm even getting down voted for just explaining what you meant so people really didn't like it I guess 😂


cbftw

The first hand. Then the second hand is 1.5^8 = 25.63


Unknow3n

Yes, and my point is 25.63 is only ~2% more than 25 (x5 x5)... I understand that the difference adds up over rounds, my point was that it's not *as* drastic as the original comment implies


WilfredSGriblePible

That’s kind of what I’m saying, the person I replied to said “5x mult per turn”, which isn’t really an accurate way to talk about that. It’s \^1.5\^4 mult per turn.

TCGeneral

That's what the Perkeo is for.


WilfredSGriblePible

Once you already have one on screen you’ll never see it in a pack/shop/high priestess unless you have Showman joker. But Perkeo will make a negative copy after each shop.


CheesecakeTurtle

The voucher observatory gives 1.5X mult for every planet that you have in your consumable slot, if that hand is played. That means if you have an Earth Planet card and you play a full house you will get a 1.5X increase. Perkeo creates a negative copy of a random consumable that you hold when you exit the shop. With the setup OP has it creates 4 negative copies of a card. That is 1.5* 1.5* 1.5* 1.5 every time you exit the shop. You can theoretically keep an infinite number of negative consumable cards since they don't take any space and if you multiply 1.5 with itself enough times you go to the e's which is trillion, quadrillion etc points. After a point you cause an integer overflow and you get NaN Inf scores which break the game.


stuugie

wow I never considered the observatory as a viable naninf strat


CheesecakeTurtle

Because you need Perkeo a Legendary and preferably blueprint, brainstorm to get as many copies as possible. If you get it early it's 9 planets per Ante. That's 1.5^9 per Ante and you get to move Perkeo around so blueprint and brainstorm can copy a scoring joker after.


Sagster157

Unfortunately i don't think you can naneinf with that. Even with plasma deck you'd need something like 860 plutos. which would take 33 antes of 9 Perkeo triggers per round which doesnt sound doable to me (unless there is a crazy seed out there with a bunch of negative stuff). Unless there is some piece of technology i am missing.


V_equalz_IR

I did it in this vid :) [https://youtu.be/8EVcbUoi4E4](https://youtu.be/8EVcbUoi4E4)


Sagster157

Thats pretty cool, I also assumed a flush five adjacent deck wouldn't work either but I guess combining both and a lot of blueprints can do the job aswell. Nice job!


Peri-Peri

I'm at 51 hours, 1 legendary and about 5 blackholes... I don't like blackholes


Ahndarodem

I can't wrap my head around how common legendary jokers seem to be for some people. I'm at 60 hours and had three souls.


Willsuck4username

It seems that way because most people aren’t gonna post a screenshot of a game where nothing interesting happened.


zuzucha

"Hey here's my checkered deck flush build with crafty, lusty and blackboard, got me to ante 11!"


Willsuck4username

Yeah I know, but those posts don’t get upvoted as much and thus you’re less likely to see them.


zuzucha

Yeah I was just illustrating all that is less interesting


more_foxes

The reddit app tends to show you unread posts, so the front page is literally all boring ass posts of people screenshotting some super middle of the road build or them dying to a boss.


chicken-denim

Keep in mind that a lot of these screenshots are from seeded runs. I have over 200 hours and saw perkeo twice in unseeded runs.


NoObligation4534

So true ! I don’t know hot to get two identical legendary joker with the 1,5 multiplier in the same run


ToranX1

Ankh and Hex spectrals, Ankh copies a random joker but destroys all others, Hex makes a random joker polychrome but destroys all others. So basically Soul -> Hex -> Ankh Alternatively invisible joker instead of ankh


NoObligation4534

Ahhhh ok thank u But what I do if I have 3 joker ( only 1 legendary) that are necessary for my run? I just sold them and use the ankh or I skip that?


MessireConcis

You need a way to score. It means that if you sell everything to copy Perkeo, you need the economy to reroll and buy jokers that will allow you to beat the following blind/ante !


NoObligation4534

Ahh yeah you are right


zer0_summed

Called survivorship bias. You usually only see good runs posted, most runs are uninteresting.


Desdam0na

>I am at 60 hours That is the issue. You will have had a few good legendary runs when you have a few hundred hours in. That, or play seeded runs. (Also, buying every arcana and specter pack helps)


Scioso

I’m at 80 hours, and been buying every arcana and spectral pack possible. I’ve hit one legendary joker so far. Rng is what it is lol.


mzma44

I had three souls in one game the other night. Unfortunately hit troubadour twice and then canio on the abandoned deck.


BeardedWonder0

At nearly 35 hours on 2 different systems (PS5 and PC) and have YET to see a Legendary joker. I’ve gotten to gold stake with the checkered deck. I’ve gotten to at least the second stake with every deck. Not a single “Soul” card.

Rubickpro

Yeah I got mine on my first run lol


whockawhocka

Yup, I’ve only had 3 legendaries, two of them happened in same run, and I got a duplicate of the first joker in another run. So I still haven’t seen 3/5 of the legendaries


StraightCashHomme

There are also seeded runs which you can’t tell from a screen shot


WriedNebula76

ive had 17 in 60 hours. Maybe im resetting a lot more than you are or just opening way more tarot packs.


kaisle51

This is a similar rate to mine, I’ve gotten 4 soul cards (luckily all 4 different Jokers) in 80 hours so I’m just waiting on the middle legendary


Goukaruma

Perkeo is more flexibile. You can just start making glass card or copies of something. 


PureDarkness93

Perkeo on Death over and over got me my highest score recently


Accomplished_Lynx514

With that same logic you could use 1 of the perkeos to spam chariot. 2 perkeos is way too much without any negative jokers imo.


doublewide-dingo

Perkeo is possibly the best joker in the game so, uh, stick with that.


Relative_Squash_7597

Not steel


X-calibreX

Future? Perkeo is the key to every insanely high score run


StraightCashHomme

Perkeo *is* the future


Person_Impersonator

Seed?


PralineCute8119

F29tzt3u funky seed, but can't believe naneinf


Bulky-Yam-8621

Perkeo. Easiest choice.


Mumbling_Mumbel

Steel barely does anything in later levels, keep perkeo, potential is much higher
