Rating & Analysis
The Tribe is a hand-conditional xMult Joker — x2 Mult on any hand containing a Flush. x2 looks small, but Flushes hit 25% (or 50% in Checkered Deck) — much more reliable than Four of a Kind or Straight Flush, making The Tribe an everyday damage anchor. Flush-axis upper hands (Flush House, Straight Flush, Flush Five) all trigger it.
The dream pairing is Smeared Joker (4 suits → 2) + Checkered Deck + The Tribe — Flush rate climbs from 50% to nearly 100%. Add Bloodstone (+Mult per Heart) / Arrowhead (+50 Chips per Spade) to compound suit-axis bonuses on top of Tribe's x2.
Blueprint / Brainstorm copying The Tribe yields effectively x4 Mult. Straight Flush triggers The Tribe x2 + The Order x3 = x6 Mult stack. Tier lists rate The Tribe A+ in Flush builds. The $8 cost is fair; mandatory in any Flush-axis build.
Good Joker Synergies
| Joker | Why |
|---|---|
| Smeared Joker | 2-suit collapse → Flush rate 50%, raising Tribe's ceiling. |
| Bloodstone / Arrowhead | Suit-axis +Mult / +Chips compounds with Flush triggers. |
| Four Fingers | 4-card Flush — even higher hit rate. |
| The Order (Straight x3) | Straight Flush stacks Tribe x2 + Order x3 = x6 Mult. |
| Blueprint / Brainstorm | Copy x2 → effectively x4 Mult. |
| Checkered Deck | Spades + Hearts only — natural 50% Flush rate. |
Recommended Builds
| Build | Core Loop | Target Consumables |
|---|---|---|
| Flush focus | Smeared + Tribe + Bloodstone + Arrowhead | Jupiter (Flush Planet) |
| Checkered + Tribe | Checkered Deck + Tribe = stable x2 | Enhancement Tarots |
| Straight Flush | Smeared + Order + Tribe = x6 Mult | Main hand Planet |
| Blueprint stacking | Tribe + Blueprint = x4 Mult | Black Hole / The Soul |
Tips & Usage
- Smeared / Four Fingers / Checkered Deck secure Flush reliability.
- Jupiter (Flush) / Black Hole level the base score.
- Blueprint to Tribe's right doubles the xMult to x4.
- Straight Flush triggers Order + Tribe stack — explosive damage.
- Bloodstone adds compound +xMult per Heart — pair with Tribe for layered scaling.
Caveats
- Triggers only on Flush (contained) — variance-dependent.
- Standard deck's 25% Flush rate makes solo Tribe shaky — needs suit support.
- Perishable Tribe is risky — losing the xMult on expiry hurts.
- Stone cards (no rank/suit) don't count toward Flush detection.
- Without Smeared / Four Fingers, all 4 suits in standard deck make consistent Flushes hard.
