📋 About This Mod
I thought it would be funny to create a Joker card wich deserves the status "Legendary". Since there arent many jokers wich play around negativity besides the Perkeo i thought why not make one myself.
And here we are:
"Every 20 Discards spread the Virus"
Its fully functional with discard tracking animation and a special text "Virus spread" everytime it triggers the card.
Since it is legendary (all right to be legendary, this card is busted like perkeo), it can only be obtained trough a spectral pack wich gives you a random legendary Joker.
Hope you have fun with it!
Version 1. 0. 1
- Tracks the count and shows only only on last 5 cards the pop up counter (does not slow down gameplay now)
- Is NOT negative anymore, still spreads the Virus (negativity)
- Better Visuals with hovering effect
A small negative legendary Joker mod for Balatro. Every 20 discards, a random Joker gets the Negative enhancement. With 15 endorsements and 1,063 downloads, it's a niche addition for players who want a high-risk, high-reward twist on deck building.
