Finally beat Jokerless.

I did it with A five of a kind build based on twos. I didn't get telescope but had good enough early game economy and a lucky spectral card.

That also means I've beaten all the challenges. Honestly cruelty was harder and I feel like Jokerless just makes you develop a better understanding of how to actually play Balatro.

I'm stuck on golden needle and it makes me want to claw my eyes out

Golden needle is 100% about getting to $25+ in the bank before the end of ante two. Save your time by not playing past ante if you don't have the economy. $25 in the bank gives you everything to basically ignore the hand cost.

Also, its got five joker spots. Which after cruelty feels like cheating.
