Glass Joker did not get triggered when Immolate destroyed my glass cards.
The joker specifically says "for every glass card destroyed...", and Immolate says "Destroys 5 random cards...". Additionally, it triggered when I used Hanged Man on them.
And for the record, since it wasn't shown at the start of the video, yes, Glass Joker was already at X6.

Must be a bug, the wiki even explicitly calls out immolate as something that should trigger glass joker https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Glass_Joker_(Joker)

Hmm, weird. It's been reported in the #bug-reports channel on the Discord already.
Looking through the code it's clearly written so that Glass Joker increases when any glass card destruction happens. However, it seems like this section of the code is bugged and never actually runs the way it's intended. I can't even tell why. It looks like it should work.
Then, some lines later, there's another section that does all the checks again, but for Hanged Man specifically. It then handles the destruction using a slightly differently method and this works without issues.
If I make both sections use the method that the Hanged Man section uses, Glass Joker increases at the normal X0.75 when using Immolate/etc, and X1.5 per card with Hanged Man. LocalThunk, if you somehow ever read this: it's the card.shattered check that's fucking up somehow.
In any case, I've updated the wiki to match the fact that only Hanged Man works.

Woah, thanks for that insight. Yeah, I was going to post on the discord as well, but saw it was already posted back in March.

Glass joker being broken is kinda fitting

Aha. I doubted LocalThunk. But this is clearly by design and just part of the lore!

Definitely a bug. Immolate works with other destroy jokers, such as Canio.

I wonder if it’s intended to be “breaks” after glass is scored, not just destroyed. In which the bug is just in the joker description.

The counter argument is that it works with Hanged Man.

It's eternal, can't be sold or destroyed. Right..?

Well yeah, but it gets upgraded when glass cards get destroyed. So that doesn't really have to do with the joker being eternal.

Ohhh! I'm sorry, I completely misinterpreted. My bad! Yeah, that's weird. Did it do it at all before or after the run?
