Enhancements are the most common form of modifier. You can find Enhanced cards in Standard Packs and you can Enhance any card using specific Tarot cards. An important thing to note is that you can only have ONE Enhancement per card. If you try to Enhance an Enhanced card, you will simply overwrite the previous Enhancement. You have to Enhance any card that has been given a Seal and/or has a special Edition modifier.
Seals are some of the most powerful modifiers in the game and can be used to scale a deck very quickly. You can occasionally find Sealed cards in Standard Packs, however, most Seals will come from Spectral Packs. You can only have ONE Seal per card, and adding a second Seal will overwrite the original Seal. You can add a Seal to a card that has been Enhanced and/or has a special Edition modifier.
The final kind of modifier is the Special Edition. These can occasionally be found in Standard Packs, however you can also obtain them via Spectral Packs. Uniquely, all of these Special Editions can be applied to Jokers as well. Like with all other modifiers, you can only have one Special Edition effect at a time, and the previous effect will be overwritten if you try to add a second effect. You can combine Special Editions with Seals and/or Enhancements freely.
That’s all we have on Balatro for now. Be sure to check back for more tips, tricks, and guides.
