Bloodstone is a Hearts-oriented Joker which has a 1 in 2 chance to immediately provide x1.5 Mult for each Heart suit icon Heart scored.

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 X Mult from hand Jokers, like The Idol The Idol and Triboulet Triboulet, are very helpful, as they push Mult even higher combined with Bloodstone's effect and other retrigger Jokers.
  • Smeared Joker Smeared Joker allows both Diamonds and Hearts to trigger Bloodstone.

Trivia[]

  • Before Update 1.0.1f, this was the only chance-based Joker to have a 1 in 3 chance, therefore required two Oops! All 6s Oops! All 6s to have 100% activation chance. It has since been changed to a 1 in 2 chance of triggering.
  • Bloodstone is one of four stone/mineral themed jokers unlocked by having 30 cards of that suit in your deck. The others are Arrowhead Arrowhead (spades), Rough Gem Rough Gem (diamonds), and Onyx Agate Onyx Agate (clubs).
  • This Joker's effect references how hearts pump blood.
