    Want to say - studied this video a few hours and thought it was incredibly useful!
    Won today with many thanks to this guide. Mine wasn’t as smooth as this run - (over-reliance on devil (gold) and justice (glass) due to a lack of Saturn/Neptunes.
    The biggest switch for me was calculating hands (big difference) and riding your one-shot wins as long as possible to build up an economy. Oh, and good boss luck (:
    Great stuff!

    I've tried this challenge maaany times and failed. Yesterday night I watched this video @ bed, today I got it literally first time. Thank you very much, this was very helpful!
    I was approaching this the wrong way, going mainly for arcanas to get +mult/glass trying to 1shot the first blinds to get money. The going for planets 1st approach was way better. Also I got very lucky with the vouchers (+1 hand, and the two +discard ones) and a blue seal early on. When I got to straight flushes I was able to fish for the blue seal every time and kept growing it.

    Took a solid two dozen tries today, but I finally made Jokerless happen. In the end I did it on plain straight, no flush. Multiple immolates really came through for me. 35-40 card deck is so much easier to draw hands in.

  • @rahulc
    @rahulc Před 4 měsíci +2

    I leaned in to the deck manipulation to go for quads/quints after an early strength card. A few too many rounds needed all my discards + hands to find the hand, so probably it was not a reliable enough strategy for the midgame. I did get Verdant Leaf though to nullify all my edition/enhanced 8s and had to play 3 quints for 99k and thankfully still one quads to finish. 21/40 cards were 8s.

    I absolutely love your videos and you’ve helped me improve so much in this game! I just wonder why you enhance certain cards such as the 10 over the Jack when the Jack would give more chips. I’m sure you have a reason so I’d love to hear why! Thanks!

    • @drspectred
      @drspectred  Před 5 měsíci +17

      Wait, aren't Jacks and 10's the same?
      Generally, later on the game, the Chips from your Planets and Jokers matter way more than the Chips from your cards, so you don't need to worry about what Ranks you're playing. I tend to avoid investing in Face Cards because there are bosses which mess then up.

    Given that you say you don't feel it was an oversight, but an easter egg for him to include the two common jokers tag, why do you think that is?
    Just as an Easter egg or a bit of a goal/reward work toward maybe?

    • @drspectred

      Nah, I'm 99% sure it was an oversight. But I think it's kind of a fun challenge to try to get the Antimatter Voucher and follow-up with the Top-Up Tag, possibly continuing in Endless mode.

    I just beat this challenge after nearly 2 weeks of attempts, about 5 or 6 runs came very close but lost in the final boss blind (mainly due to horrible modifiers)
    my main piece of advice for people struggling: AIM FOR BLUE SEAL CARDS AND POWERLEVEL STRAIGHTS WITH THEM
    they will carry you and snowball you into having a shot at clearing the 8th ante, the telescope vouchers (especially the second one) help too

      Story time!
      Discard used to be on the left as the default. GothiclordUK (another great content creator on CZcams) was in the original playtest last Summer, before any of the public demos, so he got used to Discard being on the left. When the default was changed to Discard on the right, the option to swap the buttons back was added for the folks who were used to the original layout. Gothic continues to play with Discard on the left.

  • @Necros554

    I beat this challenge by playing five of a kind. I believe it was better than straights before the patch, but with the patch I would have gone exactly as you (straights -> straight flushes)

    • @Necros554
      @Necros554 Před 4 měsíci

      Reason : it's less luck-dependent. Five of a kind requires you to get some lucky duplication / destroying tarot/spectral cards early, otherwise you cant get your four / five of a kind consistently

    Why do you make your steel cards part of your straight flushes like the 9/10 of spades? They’re at cross purposes because you want to play them in a straight flush but you want to hold them in hand for steel bonus

    • @landon8952
      @landon8952 Před 4 měsíci +2

      If you make the cards you don’t use in straights steel, then you’re basically playing with -1 hand size while you’re holding them in hand. When it’s a 10, it gives him the option to play it if necessary.
