BALATRO / PLAYER GUIDE

Balatro Joker tier list for your Run

Compare strong Joker choices by the hand, deck and next Blind that make them work.

YOUR NEXT DECISION

Which Joker belongs at the top for you?

Photograph needs a scored face card; Baron needs Kings held in hand. Their value changes when you draw a different hand.

A replacement can gain score while losing interest or a growing Joker. Compare the whole row, including sale cash.

If your present cards already clear the Blind, keeping cash may beat buying a Joker that only raises this one score.

These groups rank what the Joker can do for a specific situation. Move a card up or down when your hand, Boss or cash changes.

Blueprint · Brainstorm · Cavendish

Copy an effect that already scores or add a large Mult multiplier. Test the actual row against the next Blind before buying.

Baron · Mime · Photograph · Hanging Chad

Held Kings or the first scored face card can make these cards excellent. Without that card condition, they fall below a simpler scoring Joker.

Perkeo · Rocket · Cloud 9

These can build future consumables or cash. They are easier to prioritize when your current play already clears the Blind.
