Arrowhead is a Spades-oriented chip joker. Arrowhead provides +50 Chips per 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 or Stone Joker, but Arrowhead is very easy to use in Spade flush builds.

Decks[]
- Checkered Deck is the strongest deck to pair with Arrowhead, since it starts with 26 spades.
- Black Deck appreciates having such a strong Chip Joker, as it frees up slots for more Mult/Effect Jokers.

Arrowhead is strongest with flush hands. These are:
Jokers[]
A card with direct synergy is 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, Seltzer, and 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 allows you to stack Arrowhead with Onyx Agate, the club-specific joker that provides +7 Mult per club card.
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 and 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.
Trivia[]
- An arrowhead is a rough approximation of the shape of a spade.
- Arrowhead is one of four stone/mineral themed jokers unlocked by having 30 of that suit in your deck. The others are Rough Gem (diamonds), Bloodstone (hearts), and Onyx Agate (clubs).
