Lucky Cat gains x0.25 Mult each time a Lucky card successfully triggers, and starts at x1 Mult. A card that triggers both the money and mult effects at the same time will only count as one activation for Lucky Cat.

Lucky Cat will only appear in the shop after you have at least one Lucky card in your deck.

This Joker cannot receive the Perishable sticker.

Synergies[]

Decks[]

Zodiac Deck Zodiac Deck and Magic Deck Magic Deck allow you to see more tarot cards to make more lucky cards.

Poker Hands[]

While Lucky Cat technically affects all hands evenly, five-card hands allow more lucky cards to be played at once (straight, flush, full house etc).

Jokers[]

  • Oops! All 6s Oops! All 6s doubles the odds of lucky cards effects activating.
  • Hack Hack and Sock and Buskin Sock and Buskin both retrigger cards of certain ranks, increasing the chance for lucky cards of those ranks to activate.
  • Dusk Dusk retriggers all cards played on the final hand, increasing the chance for lucky cards to activate.
  • Hanging Chad Hanging Chad retriggers the first card played twice, so by positioning a Lucky Card to score first, it'll have more chances to activate.

In addition, Lucky cards with Red Seal will retrigger, increasing their chance to activate.

Trivia[]

  • Many Asian countries have superstitions about cats being lucky, specifically the Maneki-neko (or 'waving cat') which is a figurine based off of the calico Japanese Bobtail cat breed, which is believed to give good luck to the owner.
  • On the other hand, black cats are associated with bad luck, compared to the white Japanese Bobtail associated with good luck.
  • This Joker is part of a series, along with Stone Joker Stone Joker, Steel Joker Steel Joker, Glass Joker Glass Joker and Golden Ticket Golden Ticket, where the Joker seems to only appear once players have at least one card with the relevant enhancement in their deck.
