gameranx.com:

Progressing through the Antes in Balatro requires you to upgrade your deck. This can be through the addition, alteration of cards, or the powering up of specific hands. One of the best ways is to purchase Jokers – powerful cards that can bestow a wide range of modifiers. 

Jokers come in four rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Legendary. You will encounter Common – Rare during regular play, however, Legendary Jokers are much more elusive. In this guide, we will walk you through how to find every Legendary Joker, and what they do.

Chicot disables all Boss Blinds effects. Many Boss Blinds are capable of ending a run – especially if you’ve specialised your deck to the extreme. Chicot is the most reliable way to prevent Boss Blinds from messing you up.
