Acrobat is an Uncommon Multiplicative Mult Joker that provides X3 Mult on the final hand of a round. This means Acrobat will only come into play when the player exhausts all of their available hands against a given Blind. This Joker is unlocked once the player plays 200 hands along all runs.

Synergies

  • Black Deck reduces the available Hands for the player by -1, making it less punishing for the player to use their final hand.
  • Similarly, Blast Off reduces the available Hands for the player by -2, making it less punishing for the player to use their final hand.
  • Golden Needle reduces the player's Hands to 1, meaning Acrobat is automatically activated.

This Joker does not directly synergize with any hand.

Due to its condition of needing the final hand to be played, Acrobat does have some relevant synergies for other Jokers:

  • Dusk retriggers all cards of the final hand, increasing scoring power depending on card Enhancements.
  • In general, any Joker that adds additive Mult will work well alongside Acrobat.
    • Mystic Summit will usually be active alongside Acrobat as long as the player remembers to expend all remaining discards before the final hand.
  • Scaling Jokers that require hands to be played (e.g. Square Joker and Wee Joker) also work well, as hands can be used to scale them before preparing the winning hand for Acrobat.
  • Troubadour's -1 Hand penalty becomes mostly irrelevant as Acrobat only activates on the final hand.
  • Hieroglyph's -1 Hand penalty is less punishing as the player will need to exhaust all hands to make use of Acrobat regardless.
  • The Needle reduces the player's Hands to 1, meaning Acrobat is automatically activated.

Anti-Synergies

Decks

  • Green Deck: As expending all hands is necessary to activate Acrobat, it leaves no additional hands leftover for bonus Money, possibly less if all discards were used as well.

Jokers

  • Jokers that decrease in value when playing hands (e.g. Seltzer and Ice Cream) will likely be used up faster, as Acrobat requires the player to exhaust all hands to trigger.

Strategies

Acrobat is a useful Joker to have when playing against The Needle Blind, since The Needle will reduce the available hands for the player to only 1, ensuring the X3 Mult from Acrobat will be applied. It is also useful against The Wall and the Violet Vessel, since the player will often go through all of their available hands while trying to overcome the larger score thresholds from those two Blinds, and the X3 Mult may be just enough of a boost to get the player over the finish line.

Trivia

  • The acrobats in the artwork could be performing using aerial silks or aerial straps, or perhaps a variation of corde lisse. The lower acrobat seems to be holding an aerial hoop. Quite often performers doing these types of acts will have a 'big finish' trick to finish their performance, represented by the X3 Mult on the last hand.
