JOKER COMBO

Photograph and Hanging Chad in Balatro

Make a face card score first so Hanging Chad can repeat Photograph’s ×2 Mult.

Put a scoring face card first

Photograph applies ×2 Mult when the first scoring face card triggers. Hanging Chad retriggers the first scoring card twice. To combine them, place a face card first and make sure it counts toward the hand. A Pair of Kings with one King first is a simple setup.

Follow the three triggers

With both Jokers and a qualifying first card, its normal score triggers Photograph once, then the two retriggers each apply it again. The three ×2 effects multiply the Mult at that stage by 8. For example, 4 Mult becomes 32 before any later effects.

Check what actually scores

If a non-face card scores first, Hanging Chad repeats that card instead. A face card used as a kicker normally does not score. A debuffed face card also will not give Photograph its usual scoring trigger, so check the Boss Blind before relying on the combo.
