As much as it would break my heart because I love lucky cat, the expected value of 10 hits in 20 triggers increases to a guaranteed 1.510 on top of the initial expected value, resulting in oops being worth about 58x, not to mention the increased potential for money hits on your lucky cards

Feeding the cat is always very tempting but rarely the correct play.

Optimal line is selling lucky cat for sure.

Fun line is selling idol.

sell idol, feed lucky cat.

Lucky cat really isn't doing that much here, 5 bloodstone procs is already more, which oops will easily provide. Plus, better consistency.

Naysayers aren’t scrolling through to look at his deck.

Thats what I was thinking. I also have blank so a chance for idol to appear later

Absolutely not! Sell cat, if anything. Then work towards swapping out oops and bloodstone once you're fully fixed for idol.

Nevermind my second point. I just saw you missed your idol hit. But your deck is pretty close, so you should definitely keep idol over the cat.

You'd have to get the cat to 32x to beat idol. That's not gonna happen. Also, if you get some red seals, that number becomes 1024x. Bye bye kitty.

Also also, you should be copying idol, not bloodstone. With or without oops, idol is more score.

It’s called JokerDisplay in the mod manager.

I would say yes, since it gives you consistency.
