Glass Joker is an Uncommon scaling Joker that provides Multiplicative Mult to all played hands. It starts at X1 Mult and gains X0.75 Mult every time a Glass Card is destroyed, be it breaking after being played in a hand, or the effects of Sixth Sense, Trading Card, or The Hanged Man Tarot Card. It is important to note that Spectral Cards that can destroy Glass Cards, such as Immolate, Familiar, Grim, and Incantation, do not increase Glass Joker. This seems to be a bug.

Among the Multiplicative Mult Jokers that can have their value increased, Glass Joker is one of the fastest-scaling; after breaking just 3 Glass Cards, it will give X3.25 Mult to all played hands, making it stronger than Cavendish (only Canio and Yorick, both exceedingly rare Legendary Jokers, have greater per-interval scaling values).

Usage Notes

  • Glass Joker will only appear in the shop after you have at least one Glass Card in your deck.
  • To unlock this Joker, the player must have at least 5 Glass Cards in the deck

Synergies

  • Zodiac Deck gives more opportunity to buy both Justice and The Hanged Man directly from the shop.
  • Anaglyph Deck, with its Double Tag provided after each Boss Blind, may allow players to open a huge amount of Mega Arcana Packs, or buff up their money to invest in Arcana Packs later in the run.
  • Fragile works very well with Glass Joker, as this deck starts with two Oops! All 6s and all cards are Glass Cards, which makes Glass Joker scale much faster.

Any hand that contains a scoring Glass Card will have a chance to buff Glass Joker.

  • Splash: This allows up to five Glass Cards to be played at once, in the event that the Glass Cards cannot form an ideal poker hand. While also giving more X2 Mult boosts that can potentially make or break a run, it most importantly gives extra chances at breaking Glass Cards, thereby scaling Glass Joker at a faster rate.
  • Erosion: An Additive Mult Joker that scales remarkably fast as the number of cards in your full deck drops below the starting amount. Even destroying single-digit numbers of Glass Cards can give it up to +36 Mult, which, in turn, will pair very nicely with this Joker's at-times simultaneous Multiplicative Mult scaling.
  • Oops! All 6s: With this Joker equipped, Glass Cards will break half of the time, making the rate at which Glass Joker scales much faster. This comes at the downside of exhausting your deck at the same accelerated rate, so consider finding additional ways to add cards to it, like certain Cryptid, the aforementioned DNA, Certificate, or Standard Packs.
  • Trading Card: As long as a Glass Card is drawn in the opening hand, this can potentially lead to a X0.75 Mult boost every Blind, while also earning some value on the side.
  • Sixth Sense can also work well with Glass Joker as long as the player draws a Glass 6.
  • DNA: This Joker allows duplicating Glass Cards easier, and they could break in the process, immediately providing a buff for Glass Joker.
  • Canio: Although getting both of these two Jokers is unlikely, they can both have their Multiplicative Mult scaled greatly and simultaneously, by destroying Glass face cards. Pareidolia will make all cards count as face cards, meaning that each Glass Card that breaks or gets destroyed will scale both Jokers at once.
  • Any Joker that creates Tarot Cards will enable two crucial things for strengthening Glass Joker: firstly, easier access to either Justice to enhance cards into Glass Cards or The Hanged Man to destroy them, and secondly, holding unwanted Tarot Cards in the consumable slots to increase the chances that the aforementioned two will appear in Booster Packs; among them, Cartomancer and Vagabond are the easiest to activate and gain large amounts of Tarot Cards from. The Legendary Joker Perkeo can make the Justice and The Hanged Man even more common by duplicating them every round!
  • Justice and Death can turn some cards into Glass Cards.
  • The Hanged Man can destroy Glass Cards.
  • Cryptid can make more Glass Cards.
  • Illusion can have a chance for Glass Cards to appear in the shop, which can be bought to get destroyed to scale Glass Joker. This can be further increased with help from Overstock and Overstock Plus to increase the shop selection, plus Reroll Surplus and Reroll Glut to make rerolling cheaper.

Anti-synergies

Decks

  • Bram Poker starts with an Eternal Vampire, which means Glass Joker will not gain anything unless you use The Hanged Man or Trading Card.

Jokers

  • Vampire is not recommended, as it removes any Glass enhancement when scored, and players might need to destroy Glass cards by using The Hanged Man or Trading Card.
  • Blue Joker will give fewer chips if a lot of Glass Cards are destroyed.

Consumables

  • Due to a bug, Immolate, Grim, Incantation, and Familiar destroying Glass Cards will NOT scale Glass Joker, wasting the Enhancement while not providing any value.

Trivia

  • This Joker is part of a series, along with Stone Joker, Steel Joker, Golden Ticket, and Lucky Cat, where the Joker only appears once players have at least one card with the relevant enhancement in their deck.
