Arrowhead is a Spades-oriented chip joker. Arrowhead provides +50 Chips per Spade suit icon Spade when scored.

With a full spade flush, Arrowhead provides +250 Chips. If you have any retrigger effects (like red seals), it provides even more. This makes Arrowhead an excellent chips card, assuming that a spade flush can be guaranteed. Other Jokers can provide more chips in total, like Bull Bull or Stone Joker Stone Joker, but Arrowhead is very easy to use in Spade flush builds.

A card with direct synergy is Wrathful Joker Wrathful Joker, which provides +3 Mult per spade.

Any joker that retriggers played cards can help boost Arrowhead's chip contributions, like Sock and Buskin Sock and Buskin, Seltzer Seltzer, and Dusk Dusk. These Jokers are already desired in builds that Arrowhead is good in, those being card-scoring-dependent builds.

While Arrowhead and its sister "suit" Jokers only trigger on one suit, using Smeared Joker Smeared Joker allows you to stack Arrowhead with Onyx Agate Onyx Agate, the club-specific joker that provides +7 Mult per club card.

Blackboard Blackboard can be an easy addition if there are few Hearts/Diamonds in your deck, which is already what you want to happen.

A number of strong + Mult and X Mult Jokers work well with Arrowhead, as the chips Arrowhead provides more closely balances chips and Mult, providing higher scores.

Luchador Luchador and Chicot Chicot are sometimes needed to give insurance for Arrowhead's functioning, as if The Goad or certain Ante 8 Boss Blinds show up, Arrowhead will not function as well or at all.
