Not all Jokers scale equally. Some provide flat bonuses, while others offer multiplicative bonuses or scale based on conditions (e.g., 'Joker gains +1 Mult for every card played'). Identifying which Jokers have the highest scaling potential for your current build is crucial for late-game success. Prioritize Jokers that multiply your existing multipliers or those that gain strength over many blinds. A Joker that gives +4 Mult might seem good, but one that doubles your Mult will quickly outpace it with a strong base multiplier.
Types of Joker scaling:
- Additive: +X Chips, +X Mult. Good early, but scales poorly.
- Multiplicative: xX Mult. Essential for late-game high scores.
- Conditional: Gains power based on specific actions (e.g., playing a specific hand, having certain cards).
- Exponential: Multiplies existing multipliers, leading to massive scores.
