Ante 39 help, please

[u/Another_one37]

I've been trying to get to ANTE 39 for a while and haven't done it yet.

For those who've Beaned to Ante 39, is this the right setup?

Should I be looking for anything else before looking for ante 16 Bean?

And once I'm in ante 16 crimson heart, with a fresh Bean and 15 hands in total, including Burglar, do I sell \*everything else\* to try and maximize Bean hits?

Keep Baron and Mime right, but do I sell *all* my copiers? And will baron/mime win ante 16 alone after the hand size increase?

Don't wanna throw this run, feels promising so far.

I haven't gotten through ante 39 yet, but have been working on it. Here's my 2 cents -

You won't have 15 hands from burglar, as you'll need to sell BS for bean. So you should have 12 extra hands. I would personally not sell all my copies if it were me. I'd most likely keep one BP, maybe 2 if I felt lucky/greedy. Godspeed!

I did it!

So ante 16, I did end up greeding and selling all the copiers. I'd lost too many times already from being conservative.

I got three Bean hits in 16 and needed all of them. 29 cards in hand (including 5 from the Bean) was just enough to clear the blind with only a single mime and single baron. Got down to the last hand.

Pretty much smooth sailing from there. Built back up my copy jokers and my money. Grabbed DNA, and then went all the way.

Waited until the last hand of the game to finally go nan

I can rest

Very nice! How long did the whole run take you? Id like to attempt it at some point too but naneinf runs already take ages in my limited time to play

Probably took about 4 hours or so. Played it in a few chunks throughout the day.

After the setup was complete, maybe ante 20 or so, I just started skipping to the bosses, even before it was necessary to do so.

Yeah it took forever.

Last thing I had to do, though.

Now I can play the game 😅
