Synergies[]

Decks[]

  • Checkered Deck Checkered Deck works best with Bloodstone, as it starts with 26 Heart cards.
  • Blue Deck Blue Deck's extra hand makes it easier to get a winning amount of Bloodstone triggers.

Poker Hands[]

Any Flush hands with Heart suit works with Bloodstone, although any 5 card hands that includes 2-3 Heart cards can benefit greatly as well.

Jokers[]

  • Lusty Joker Lusty Joker also triggers when Hearts are scored.
  • Oops! All 6s Oops! All 6s is incredibly useful, guaranteeing that this Joker's effect triggers. Because Bloodstone works so well with Oops! All 6s, stacking other chance-based Jokers, like Lucky Cat Lucky Cat, Business Card Business Card, and Hallucination Hallucination, can be helpful to maximize the value of Oops! All 6s.
  • Retrigger Jokers are very useful, as they make Bloodstone's inconsistency matter less with more overall triggers.
  • Other XMult and +Mult on-score Jokers, like The Idol The Idol, Triboulet Triboulet, Fibonacci Fibonacci, and Even Steven Even Steven are very helpful, as they push Mult even higher when combined with Bloodstone's effect and other retrigger Jokers.
  • Smeared Joker Smeared Joker allows both Diamonds and Hearts to trigger Bloodstone.
    • Additionally, Smeared Joker allows you to pair Bloodstone with Diamond-oriented Jokers, like Greedy Joker Greedy Joker and Rough Gem Rough Gem.

Trivia[]

  • A bloodstone (also known as a Heliotrope) is a typically green stone with distinctive red spots resembling drops of blood, hence the name.
  • Bloodstone could be connected to Lusty Joker, with the name relating to the phase blood lust or lust for blood.
  • Before Update 1.0.1f, this was the only chance-based Joker to have a 1 in 3 chance, and therefore required two Oops! All 6s Oops! All 6s to have a 100% activation chance. It has since been changed to a 1 in 2 chance of triggering.
