From 1d3e1f37608e9e8d175e66929ca1a72a0a1a256c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Kirk Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2026 13:47:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Replace Blitz/Ranked/Weekly rulesets with Standard Ranked and Legacy Ranked The ruleset landscape changed: Blitz, Ranked, and Weekly are out. Standard Ranked inherits Blitz's content plus new balance changes (comeback money rework, Ouija/Seltzer/Bean/Golden Ticket modifications, Speedrun 30s window). Legacy Ranked is vanilla with The Order and nerfed Glass. --- content/docs/rulesets/legacy-ranked.mdx | 9 ++ content/docs/rulesets/meta.json | 3 +- content/docs/rulesets/ranked.mdx | 6 -- .../docs/rulesets/{blitz.mdx => standard.mdx} | 92 ++++++++++++++++--- content/docs/rulesets/traditional.mdx | 2 +- content/docs/rulesets/weekly.mdx | 6 -- 6 files changed, 91 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) create mode 100644 content/docs/rulesets/legacy-ranked.mdx delete mode 100644 content/docs/rulesets/ranked.mdx rename content/docs/rulesets/{blitz.mdx => standard.mdx} (77%) delete mode 100644 content/docs/rulesets/weekly.mdx diff --git a/content/docs/rulesets/legacy-ranked.mdx b/content/docs/rulesets/legacy-ranked.mdx new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6dd4663 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/docs/rulesets/legacy-ranked.mdx @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +--- +title: Legacy Ranked +description: The Legacy Ranked ruleset uses vanilla Balatro with minimal competitive modifications. +--- + +Legacy Ranked uses the base game with two modifications: + +- **The Order** is enabled +- **Glass Card** multiplier is reduced to X1.5 Mult (from X2) diff --git a/content/docs/rulesets/meta.json b/content/docs/rulesets/meta.json index 4e76503..0efd9aa 100644 --- a/content/docs/rulesets/meta.json +++ b/content/docs/rulesets/meta.json @@ -1,11 +1,12 @@ { "pages": [ "standard", + "legacy-ranked", "vanilla", "sandbox", "smallworld", "badlatro", - "weekly", + "traditional", "Major-and-Minor-league" ], "defaultOpen": true diff --git a/content/docs/rulesets/ranked.mdx b/content/docs/rulesets/ranked.mdx deleted file mode 100644 index 7c88d71..0000000 --- a/content/docs/rulesets/ranked.mdx +++ /dev/null @@ -1,6 +0,0 @@ ---- -title: Ranked -description: The Ranked ruleset is used to play ranked.
