All of the different Stickers as they can be found in the files.
Balatro has 11 Stickers that can be applied to Jokers or Decks.
Stickers can be Stake Stickers, indicating previous wins with this Joker/Deck, or they can be one of three in-run stickers that have a direct effect on the Joker during the run.
The player cannot manually apply or remove any Stickers. If a Sticker is applied, it will be shown in the top corner of the card or deck (right if Stake Stickers, left otherwise). A Joker or Deck may only show a single Stake Sticker on it at any time, but can have multiple in-run stickers.
Jokers can have an Edition and one or more Stickers at the same time.
In-Run Stickers[]
Eternal Sticker[]
Eternal Sticker
Jokers found in the shop or booster packs during Black Stake and higher runs have a 30% chance of getting the Eternal Sticker. These Jokers cannot be sold, nor can they be destroyed by any means, making any Eternal Joker a permanent addition to your build. Eternal Jokers can be found in shops and booster packs with a 30% chance of occurring for each Joker. Some Challenge Decks also make use of Eternal Jokers.
The indestructibility of Eternal Jokers creates some strategies that are exclusive to Black stake and higher. For example, if Madness is present on a build that consists solely of Eternal Jokers, it will gain its x0.5 Mult without being able to destroy any Jokers, turning it into a risk-free scaler. (However, Ceremonial Dagger's Mult is only added once it destroys a Joker, so it cannot be used in the same way.) Eternal Jokers can also remove or mitigate the downside of Spectral Cards that destroy Jokers, namely
Hex and
Ankh.
A Joker cannot have both the Eternal and Perishable Sticker at the same time. Legendary Jokers will never appear with an Eternal Sticker unless forced to by certain Challenge Decks.
Jokers that self-destruct or activate on sell cannot receive the Eternal Sticker, which includes the following 11 Jokers:
Diet Cola
Gros Michel
Ice Cream
Invisible Joker
Luchador
Mr. Bones
Popcorn
Ramen
Seltzer
Turtle Bean
Perishable Sticker[]
Perishable Sticker
Jokers found in the shop or booster packs during Orange and Gold Stake runs have a 30% chance of getting Perishable Sticker. These Jokers last for five rounds, and become Debuffed afterward. A Debuffed Joker no longer provides any of its original buff nor edition, but still provides passive effects to other Jokers, such as increasing sell value with Gift Card, providing +3 Mult for Abstract Joker or adding its sell value to Swashbuckler or Temperance.
A Joker cannot have both the Perishable and Eternal Sticker at the same time. Legendary Jokers will never appear with a Perishable Sticker.
Most non-retroactive positively scaling Jokers (i.e. Jokers with an effect that gradually increases only while the Joker is held) cannot receive the Perishable sticker, which includes the following 18 Jokers:
Ceremonial Dagger
Constellation
Flash Card
Glass Joker
Green Joker
Hologram
Lucky Cat
Madness
Obelisk
Red Card
Ride the Bus
Rocket
Runner
Spare Trousers
Square Joker
Vampire
Wee Joker
Rental Sticker[]
Rental Sticker
Jokers found in the shop or booster packs during Gold Stake runs have a 30% chance of getting the Rental Sticker. These Jokers cost $1 to purchase, but deduct $3 at the end of every round. This price is deducted before the round payout, meaning that it can lower your interest. If you have less than $3 when a Rental Joker activates, you will be put into debt.
Because Rental Jokers cost $1 up-front and sell for $1, they are effectively free if sold before the end of your next round, creating some strategies that are exclusive to Gold stake. Rental Jokers that create value in the shop (such as Hallucination or Chaos the Clown, on blind select (such as Cartomancer) or during a blind (such as Mail-In Rebate) can be purchased, then sold before the end of a round for free value. Additionally, the ability to buy and sell a Joker for no effective cost creates free scaling for Campfire.
A Rental Joker can also have an Eternal or Perishable Sticker. All Jokers can receive the Rental Sticker, although Legendary Jokers will never appear with one.
Combined Odds[]
Since Jokers can't be both Eternal and Perishable, there is a 40% chance (100% − 30% − 30%) of a Joker being clean of both on Orange and Gold Stakes. There is also a 70% chance (100% − 30%) of not having a Rental sticker on Gold Stake, leading to a combined 28% chance (40% × 70%) of a Joker having no in-run stickers.[1]
Stake Stickers[]
There are eight different Stake Stickers. They are normally not visible on Jokers or Decks during a run, but Joker Stake Stickers can be viewed by enabling the "Display Stake Stickers during Run" option in the game settings. The Stickers can also be found on Jokers and Decks in their respective section of the Collection menu, as well as on decks in the "New Run" menu. Only the highest Sticker (from the most difficult stake) obtained on a Joker/Deck is shown. Getting a certain Sticker will also automatically unlock all the Stickers below it.
A Joker will gain the Sticker corresponding to the Stake of the run, once you beat Ante 8 with this Joker equipped. Jokers that were sold or destroyed before seeing the summary screen or Jokers bought after Ante 8 will not receive a Sticker, but debuffed Jokers do receive Stickers. A Deck similarly will gain the Sticker corresponding to the Stake of the run, once you beat Ante 8 with this Deck.
The game also keeps track of how many Stake Stickers you have earned for Jokers and Decks. This is found in the Profile menu, under Progress. For Jokers there are 1200 (150 Jokers * 8 Stickers) in total, and for Decks there are 120 (15 Decks * 8 Stickers). Some Achievements make use of these Stickers, such as Completionist++, which requires you to earn a Gold Sticker on every Joker.
There are eight Stake Stickers, which are listed here in the same order as their respective Stakes.
Trivia[]
- If the "Display Stake Stickers during Run" option is enabled the Joker in the intro sequence will have its Stake Sticker visible.
- Because Perishable Jokers become debuffed after winning the fifth blind but before the Cash Out scene, Jokers that activates at the Cash Out scene such as Golden Joker, Cloud 9... will only last 4 rounds instead of 5.
- Popcorn and Turtle Bean can have the Perishable sticker, even though the sticker has no effect on them, due to them disappearing after 5 blinds anyways.
- If a rental Gros Michel goes Extinct, it will still charge the $3 as it perishes. The same goes for all jokers that are both Rental and Perishable.
- The jokers that cannot receive the Perishable tag are all non-retroactive scaling jokers (jokers that start with a scaling of 0 when picked up). This was because, in playtesting, it was revealed that these jokers being Perishable often made them useless, as they didn't have time to scale. Note that this only applies to jokers which only start scaling when picked up, which is why jokers such as Fortune Teller and Throwback can receive the Perishable tag.
