7 star Joe

BENNYJ · October 2023

I just pulled 7 star Joe after doing some of the new Carina’s challenge - not sure how to feel. His kit description doesn’t make sense to me - anyone got any tips how to use him effectively?

I love my joe, he isn't super super good until he's duped but he's ok without it.

Pretty much each combo ender gives you a card.
Medium = Damage
Light = Regen
Heavy = Power gain
Parry = Block penetration

You have 4 slots for cards, and new ones will just enter from left to right, each special gives a debuff based off your card combo

It depends what you need at the time. Usually I focus on getting Spades (end a combo with a medium) and throw SP1s. [This is from](https://i.imgur.com/R6OYZYw.jpg) the Science EQ, so the numbers are inflated, but those Bleeds with the attack bonus from Spades do *work*.

If I need heals, I usually get two Hearts (finish a combo with a Light) and two Spades, and throw an SP2.

Clubs would be useful (land a heavy) since they increase Combat Power Rate, but it's too hard to stack them up without also getting Diamonds, which are practically useless (increased Block Penetration, gain by Parrying).

The only thing I don't get is why a regular 5 hit combo (mlllm) gives you a heart and spades card? Seems like the game counts medium 3 lights as a combo ender. Can anyone shede light on this?

It doesn't, unless you dash back after a hit it isn't a combo ender

Try not to parry.

My first two 7*s were both Joe so I hit the ground with him duped. I use him for anything. He is so hard to kill, poison immune, and high damage.

Except that it does. Ignore my first parry in the video, I do 2 normal mlllm combos in the video and always get hearts on the 3rd light.

I wanted to upload a video but file format not allowed. I can try screenshotting the frames but it will be for tomorrow.

I checked it again frame by frame and it happens somewhere between the 4th and 5th hit. I don't get how I'm doing it cause I checked on youtube and I seem to be the only one it's happening to. I'll update with proof tomorrow.

IvarTheBoneless · October 2023

Okay so I finally found some time and screenshotted frame by frame from the moment I land my 3rd light (4th attack in my combo).

As you can see I get a heart card between photo 2 and 3 which is between my 4th and 5th hit. Immediately after I get a spade card too. Any help is much appreciated

I think this way, not sure it's correct.
Photo 2: you end at the 4th hit.
Photo 3: Heart appears because 4th hit is Light. Then, you end with 5 hit-combo.
Photo 4: Spade appears because 5th hit is Medium.

IvarTheBoneless · October 2023

I see what you mean but the thing is that the 4th hit isn't an end because I did a 5th medium hit which should be the combo ender.

I do a normal 5 hit combo mlllm and get a heart and a spade. When I see someone do the same 5 hit combo on youtube they only get spades. I'm trumped lol

No, that wouldn't be it. You're only supposed to gain one suit per combo (either a Heart or a Spade). I've used him a lot in general, but I specifically tried several variations of combos since seeing this post, all ending with a Medium (like OP), and only ever get the Spade.

IvarTheBoneless · October 2023

@Halley @Dirty_Dozz @MarvelNoob Okay so after some testing I figured it out. If you don't perform your combo perfectly timed then you can get a hearts card too. If you wait a millisecond between 3rd light and final medium you will get 2 cards in one combo. This also means that if you slow down your combo you're automatically getting it.

I don't know how useful it is but it probably has some use if you quickly need 2 heart and 2 spade cards to heal from your special attack

Wait, so for healing, its not 4 Hearts = max heal, but 2 hearts + 2 spades = max heal?
And is this true for both duped and unduped or just the duped version?

True for both versions. I think hearts heals for damage you do so I don't know what's optimal. 2 heart 2 spades gives damage for heals but 4 hearts gives more heals

So basically, don't Parry with Joe, right?

Edit: I mean, it's a lot more complicated than that, but I just mean generally you shouldn't Parry when you're using Joe if you want those other combos/effects.

7 star Joe
