Supernova is a common Joker that adds Mult based on the number of times that the scoring hand has been played in the current run. Consistently playing the same hands will result in a constantly increasing Mult boost, which can stay useful until late game.
Synergies[]
Decks[]
Supernova works well with all decks, though it can find particular synergy when playing with a strategy that matches deck to poker hand, like Checkered Deck and flush.
Poker Hands[]
The key to Supernova is to play the same hand consistently. Hands that can reliably be made, especially in the early game, help Supernova flourish. Furthermore, the more hands played, the better, so a build focusing on high base mult and chips hands (like straight flush) can prevent you from using all your hands to boost Supernova. This makes Supernova particularly powerful when matched with hands like High Card or Pair.
Jokers[]
Supernova has synergy with the following Jokers:
- Burglar replaces discards with hands, resulting in more available hands, thus allowing Supernova to scale faster.
- Green Joker is an additive mult card that grows as more hands are played (however, Green Joker also loses mult with discards, and having multiple additive mult cards can limit your run's potential above Ante 9 or 10).
- Card Sharp gives X3 Mult when the same hand is played more than once in a round.
- Space Joker gives a 1/4 chance of upgrading a hand when it's played. By playing only one hand type consistently to boost Supernova, you can achieve very high levels for said hand.
- Burnt Joker easily allows leveling up a poker hand without planet cards (at the effective cost of 1 discard), which is extra beneficial when a single poker hand type is being played.
Supernova has anti-synergy with the following jokers:
- If you only ever play one hand type, Obelisk will never provide anything above X1 Mult.
- If you skip blinds to level up Throwback, you will have fewer opportunities to play hands in order to increase Supernova's power.
Trivia[]
- A supernova is a star exploding at the end of its life. This connects with the Planet theming for poker hands.
