Balatro: Every Joker with Full Description

In the game, Jokers serve as purchasable items that occupy the player’s joker slots upon acquisition, remaining there until sold or eliminated by alternative methods.

The base game, features 5 joker slots, with a total of 150 jokers available in different rarities. Among these, 105 are accessible from the start, while 45 can be unlocked by fulfilling specific conditions.

These Jokers play a pivotal role, acting as a fundamental component for creating synergies and overcoming higher stakes.

Jokers have the potential for improvement through four distinct enhancements known as Editions. Each Edition incurs higher shop costs but introduces an additional effect to enhance their overall impact:

• Base (standard card)
• Foil (+50 chips)
• Holographic (+10 Mult)
• Polychrome (x1.5 Mult)
• Negative (+1 joker slot)

Jokers come in four distinct Rarities:

• 
  Common
• 
  Uncommon
• 
  Rare
• 
  Legendary

Below, I present lists divided according to these rarities.
