Balatro Wiki

Satellite is an uncommon Joker that gives $1 at the end of each round per unique Planet card used in the run. Players can earn up to $9 from it by using the normal Planet Cards, and an additional $3 can be earned in a run by playing the three secret hands.

Each planet card only needs to be used once in a run to count for Satellite. Black Hole is a Spectral card, and will not increase the $ gained from Satellite, even if opened from within a Celestial booster pack.

Synergies[]

Decks[]

Checkered Deck works best with Satellite as it requires fewer deck modifications to unlock the secret hands.

Poker Hands[]

Playing the three secret hands (Flush House, Five of a Kind and Flush Five) to unlock their planets allows players to maximize this Joker's value.

Jokers[]

  • Since Satellite is maximized through the use of Planet Cards, it synergizes with Constellation, which gains X0.1 Mult per planet card used.
  • Satellite benefits from Astronomer, which makes planet cards and Celestial booster packs free.
  • Showman can have anti-synergy with Satellite, since it will allow duplicate planet cards to appear, and Satellite requires unique planet cards.
  • Smeared Joker can make it much easier to unlock the secret hands, thereby maximizing Satellite's value.

Vouchers[]

  • Telescope can make it harder to achieve max rewards with Satellite, as it lends itself to the same planet card repeating.
  • Planet Merchant and Planet Tycoon increase the frequency of planet cards in the shop, making it easier to find different planet cards.
