Balatro has well over 100 Jokers to find, unlock, and collect. Each Joker is a unique blend of mechanics and interactions that help mould your run into something truly unique every time you boot the game. Whilst rarity doesn’t necessarily translate to power directly, rarer Jokers do tend to have more complex mechanics.
With that in mind, the exceedingly rare Legendary Jokers are some of the strangest Jokers going, with effects that can drastically change the course of a run. Unlocking Legendary Jokers is not the easiest of tasks, but we have a full guide here to help you out. In this guide, however, we will be ranking every Legendary Joker in Balatro.

Yorick is one of the most powerful multiplicative Mult Jokers in the entire game. Granting a flat x5 Mult to every hand is ludicrously powerful for a card that requires no scaling. Unfortunately, Yorick has one massive downside – it does nothing until you discard 23 times.
While this might seem like a minor inconvenience at first glance, in reality, Yorick becomes almost unplayable. At almost every stage in Balatro’s progression arc, Yorick is a potentially game-ending tax. When every Joker slot is valuable to break through each Ante, having a slot dedicated to a Joker that does nothing for 5+ rounds is devastating.
Sadly, Yorick’s activation is so slow that you will likely sell Yorick instead of going through the effort of grinding it out. You can get plenty of other Jokers who scale beyond Yorick, who do something every step of the way. Easily the worst Legendary Joker.
I want to preface this by saying the gap in power between 5th and 4th is canyon-esque. A veritable gulf that should not be underestimated. Where Yorick is straight up a bad card, Triboulet is genuinely fantastic – it just has some major flaws.
Triboulet grants x2 Mult for every King and Queen played – basically granting Polychrome+ to these cards…only it stacks with Polychrome. Triboulet is the gift that keeps on giving IF you have the means to support it when you get it. Sadly, Legendary Jokers don’t often enter a run early, so it’s difficult to plan around them.
This is where Triboulet falls. If you had a bunch of Polychrome Kings and Queens, hods of Steel Kings and Queens, Baron, Shoot The Moon, Mime, and Sock & Buskin, Ante 8 becomes a distant memory. You aren’t going to have that though – heck, you are more likely to be running Abandoned Deck which has zero face cards to begin with.
Triboulet is powerful, it’s just inconsistent.
Chicot is one of those Jokers that has a really powerful effect that you kind of forget.

I love whenSpy x Family veers into slice-of-life drama. I like seeing super duper capable spy Loid Forger and lethal assassin Yor navigate mundane activities like cooking dinner or planning date nights. I’m giddy when telepathic Anya uses her powers in a dodgeball match. I’m sure there are fans that prefer the more action-heavy, spy-thriller episodes, but I like when studios Wit and Cloverworks keep it chill. With 20 episodes a season, the anime has the space to deftly balance these two tones.

Getting through Balatro is easier said than done. A solid understanding of Poker will only get you so far, and if we are being honest, it won’t get you all that far. The trick is to overcome each blind by scoring enough chips. The amount of chips required increases for each Ante, and every Ante has three Blinds.
The Super Mario Maker community rallied together to beat every single level uploaded to the game before the servers shut down earlier this month, and while the devs at Nintendo weren't initially aware of that effort, they now think it's pretty cool.
