About this game:
Become a giant walking dice and battle to the end of an ever-changing dungeon! Can you escape the cruel whims of Lady Luck?
In this new fast-paced deckbuilding roguelike from Terry Cavanagh (Super Hexagon, VVVVVV), Chipzel, and Marlowe Dobbe, you'll fight monsters, find better loot, and level up your heroes as you work together to take down the Goddess of Fortune, Lady Luck herself. Balance your carefully planned strategies against the unknown of a dice roll.

"Man this counter sucks!" Completely demolishes boss using counter without understanding why.

[@josephs9303]

I mean its kinda mindflooding how it works, especially with freeze causing some wonky stuff

[@letheanabsol3261]

lol it wasn't even counter, it was lock. Lock makes her play her dice in order for the amount of lock on her, which means if he had two lock she would never have gotten to use the shield, since it required two dice. On the other hand, counter is effectively lock but it targets dice values rather than a quantity of dice.

[@CopperAirplane]

Can I get some first grade instructions? I kinda get how 2 lock screws the shield for the boss but I don't understand how it's useful otherwise

[@TheJacksonFaller]

@@CopperAirplane You could counter 5 or 6 (makes enemy use this die first), and since shield bash requires max 4 and tower shield requires 2 dice she can't do anything

[@letheanabsol3261]

@@CopperAirplane In addition to what Faller said, the damage on her attack increases based on her current shield, which is wiped at the start of every turn. So by locking even one dice, her damage output is basically cut by 1/3rd as she has to attack before she shields every turn.

[@Daenym]

For all the smack NL talked about how useless Lock was, it completely countered the boss. And naturally he didn't realize.

[@CutthroatViking]

For real my man

[@ChibiRuah]

to defend him a little, every enemy was not really hurt much by counter. But yea it makes me feel bad that NL didnt really figure out why he just completely destroyed to boss.

[@CutthroatViking]

@@ChibiRuah Def rubbish on parallel universe compared to regular on most enemies

[@alexanderwales7870]

NL's one weakness: reading!

[@TheShadow4884]

Ben Friesen good one

[@donkeysunite25]

Ben Friesen honestly that and trying to go to fast really is his downfall

[@jorgesixtos708]

Sounds like we're getting more Baba is You boiiss

[@cameronpeake3345]

I really hope so

[@MrMoorfrosch]

Hell yeah, take my man by his word^^ Lets get the egg boiling again :D

[@OlujaDoTokija]

Yes please

[@ExtremelyToxic]

NL: *Doesn't understand how counter works* Also nl: *_Completely invalidates final boss with counter_*

[@Keleva]

Against Aoife your counters were forcing her to use a single die first, so she was unable to play tower shield before sabre.

[@CutthroatViking]

Yeah extreme counter vs. her.

[@bosshunterman]

Him looking up online what Episode 5 is all about because he missed both the Ep. description and opening dialogue was just Enelle in a nutshell...

[@Chakzify]

Real question is: Fight or Fifth? That's some galaxy brain level video titling.

[@xcviiimmiv]

It's all a purposeful ploy to generate comment threads debating it All about those analytics

[@madisonbryant4417]

Falaxy* tiltinf*

[@Cheefoo124]

It's an impressionistic choice

[@Ulgroth]

"You fought tomo last night at 6:30AM" Can you see why im confused here NL.

[@notloganparker]

I read this as he said it, I thought I was having a stroke

[@WeatherManToBe]

Please read the tooltips on changed effects. Thanks.

[@JohnDoe-xx8yw]

Even worse, he did it once this episode. So he knows how, he just didn't

[@Keleva]

Everything has been changed! Better not read any tooltips to find out how things work now.

[@loveluclins]

Northernlion : counter is useless! Enemy that can only use evens appears! NL : FORCES IT TO USE EVENS INSTEAD OF ODDS. Classic egg, never change.

[@Tatercon]

You use the new counter to lock them from using specific equipment. So you could lock the firemans odd dice and if its rolled it cant be use then he has to just skip the turn.

[@fallouthirteen]

Isn't that what just locked down the boss that one turn? Like she had to use a 5 first, but she needed to use 2 dice at once (but only had 1 five) or a "max 4", so she just couldn't do anything there. Seems very situational (enemy needs non-versatile abilities) and requires luck (they need to roll the countered die) and needs a good planning (which NL, eh, kind of lacks), but when it does it can just completely lock out an enemy.

[@314Marvin]

​@@fallouthirteen It's not really too rare to find an enemy that only works with odds/evens or needs multiple dice, so if you lock/force them to play a specific roll, its really easy to prevent a lot of enemies from working at all. But you're right, it is somewhat situational and requires a bit of luck, but man when it works, it freaking works.

[@VictouffeVideos]

@@fallouthirteen But I think you can combine it with freeze for maximum effect. For example since you freeze that last boss, you know it cannot roll a 6, so locking a 5 is great. and because the boss has a lot of dice, you are almost certain it will actually hit

[@swudurshchurf2386]

I haven't seen such an uproar in the comments since NL put two close brackets around the title of the Isaac episode. If you remember that one, respect from a fellow nerd.

[@Anthony-nt2bb]

I like how egg didn’t notice how hard he countered the boss

[@speeddemon12321]

can we have a video where egg takes up like 90% of the screen and then dicey dungeons has it's own face cam

[@kingbigyoshi4685]

Preferably with enelle's son on screen

[@superkeaton9912]

NL, it helps to read, like, anything the game presents you with.

[@swudurshchurf2386]

Also helps to have a build that steamrolls the boss to an extreme degree.

[@crazyfingers6751]

Counter is good because you can force the enemy to use their garbo dice first on one use equipment. So for example if you force the enemy to use a 1 on their non-static damage equipment, then they're only doing 1 damage if that makes sense.

[@ChibiRuah]

I dont know if it is normally good because it seems some enemies can play their dice in any order usually. But it seems that it shuts down enemies that need to do an order or multiple dice very hard. I wont say that counter looked great outside the final boss.

[@RECTANGLE339]

Nice spellinf, eff.

[@stellavender3351]

Maybe I should play games like NL too, just don't read descriptions of effects and be surprised, I'm sure I wouldn't tilt by not knowing to what I died

[@WuxianTec]

The thing is, only NL can get away with it because he's got NL Luck™.

[@PKDONTCARE]

It's part the reason we watch him

[@keyordenthefox1898]

"Feels way smoother" he says, not reading anything or changing equipment or......

[@brakintelektualny7291]

NL made me laugh at a comment made by a furry...

[@EmperorZ19]

The best use of counter is countering dice they can't use at all. For example, Fireman can only use evens. If you counter on an odd number and he rolls that number, then he can't do anything at all because he has to use the unusuable die first

[@CastafioreOnYoutube]

Oh my god he had the perfect deck to absolutely butcher the boss. What are these odds, that wasn't a fight, it was a slaugter...

[@Marluck]

NL playing episode 5 after episode 4 is like DBZ characters taking off their weighted equipment

[@outspokenferret7543]

Egg: "I always finish games." Streets of Rogue: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@Karmacow1999]

I'll never understand eggs undying hatred for nudge.

[@Gingerbitten]

It's good to hear because I started with you on darkest dungeon just because you were the one who finished it so continue to finish them

[@Eidenhoek]

slime ice cream is real final boss gg

[@Nesahalixt]

Does he ever bother to read what the status effects do?

[@sagecraft601]

"It's a shame we don't know what weakness does" Open up your heckin inventory egg and read!

[@TheBioRules]

@@sagecraft601 Also "ok we're learning" while not reading any descriptions.

[@Andreynyasha]

@@sagecraft601 heck just mousing over the status bar during the fight works

[@EricTann]

To explain the boss fight, Locking turned out to be amazing on that fight. Since Tower Shield needs two dice to activate, the Lock prevented Aoife from using it first, making her unable to deal damage.

[@ThatOneAsianGuyFTW]

NL already broke the streak by dropping streets of rogue.

[@chunkypufflover7102]

I already thought this game was incredible but the way they change up the systems and conditions for winning with every character makes this game a 10 outta 10 for me

[@chunkypufflover7102]

And theres literally infinite possibilities for improvement which is also a huge plus

[@PMasterFlex]

Great determination speech at the start. In for a good episode and good series :)

[@mattrare4459]

That boss fight He didn't even realize how DESTROYED she was with his deck. Damn

[@gusionproplay6412]

eggy i love this series

[@coleb2871]

Love you dude!!

[@cosmicweekend]

Hey NL, in OBS if you select the game layer and press ctrl+f it fills the screen region with the game.

[@Bujintei]

"I mean I'll take, because we don't have a choice. But we don't neeeeed to take." (22:37) I am confused NL. I had soo much fun watching this episode.

[@ExtremelyToxic]

For the record, he would have killed sneezy a turn earlier regardless of what he rolled. But he didn't spatula a 3 😴

[@January2035]

I just hope he one day learns how to use counter.

[@ExtremelyToxic]

Is NL really going to bumble his way to a win without reading a single thing??

[@Pattonator14]

Everyone talking about the title and the boss but can we also discuss how upgrading candle is almost completely useless because of spatula? If you want a 2 to be a 6 then just -1 and flip. Same thing as flip then +1 with upgraded candle but could upgrade something else instead

[@carlwolf5923]

I saw crying suns. Any vids up or coming?

[@Waynegameandwatch]

When NL forgot the apple for the 100th time never gets old lmao

[@Scarthcaroth]

I really think a lot of the equipment in this episode is much more interesting than the stuff from previous episodes.

[@ALittleMessi]

It's interesting because it's the only time everything is different

[@jahmaniart]

Oh man his misunderstanding of counter is killliiinngg meeee

[@csguy3223]

“Last night at 6:30 AM” I died. That’s when I get up for work in the morning.

[@aleblanc6904]

Wait, this boss is literally just a punching bag in this episode, shield expires at the start of the turn.

[@DjAirsurfer]

Shield in ep5 is like a delayed heal

[@jeremyrobb3149]

that + the locking dice made her actually more trash tier than the first enemy

[@autumnhardwick8578]

all i have left is the Witch's bonus round
