🛑 When to Skip
Only buy if you have an open Joker slot.
⚠️ Common Mistake
"Slot locking. Refusing to sell this for a better Joker when it appears in the shop."
Hiker creates permanent Chips inflation by boosting every card you score by +5. Becomes exponential over a run with retriggering; especially powerful with Hack and Sock and Buskin. Pick early for maximum compounding.
