[@m.azraqudratullah8620]

Funny thing, when you're blinded with this character, when you calculate you can kind of guess wether the dice rolled is high or low from the sound

[@apolo7178]

@@KCzz15 he may not have his sound on

[@Tippex_Official]

It’s difficult to tell the exact value, and personally when playing the robot I don’t pay it much mind, but I actually tend to work off of what dice I get (knowing their value after I use them) to tell what I got.

[@jorochi153]

I like how each character has a weakness just like enemies in the game. Like Robot being really weak against blind since every single dice is blind as well as the CPU counter, and really strong against freeze since no matter what, you have to get to a threshold so you can just keep “calculating” / rolling until freeze debuff is gone and in some cases it even helps you if you have cards that use “odd” dice.

[@dumbledwarf8888]

The weakness isn’t even really too bad because you can use the sound cues to count how much your dice is worth each roll

[@Qeisama]

Benching short circuit really had me throughout the run. I was waiting for him to revisit the move but no. Oh well, maybe next time.

[@lacerationns]

I hate him for not showing what it does

[@fizzyegg]

@@lacerationns it just adds all four dice together, deals that damage and applies a random status effect (like burn, freeze, lock, etc) it's really good for the damage since it's 4 dice but it also requires you commit to it early on

[@PhantomSept]

@@fizzyegg it doesn’t it actually unlocks after 4 dice which then allows you to put in a dice doing that damage plus status affect

[@shovel2187]

I'm really happy that you're playing dicey dungeons, it's such an enjoyable game!

[@Stormer13]

I do love how different status effects can either help or hurt your character in very different ways. Like with the robot, a freeze can be very good with things like Forcefield and Mechanical Arm while blinding kinda sucks until you're good with the sound cues. Also, curse cannot affect your calculate ability, as it's not considered equipment. Final note, I forgot how nerfed sneezy is nowadays. Early build sneezy was a headache without freeze builds.

[@NumdegasedUHC]

Tyler absolutely slept on both Short Circuit and Heat Sink

[@NumdegasedUHC]

Well, then again, these are the easy levels so it doesn’t really matter frankly

[@kingacrisius]

I think while Heat Sink can be good, it's mostly just a worse Increment. Sure, it gives a slight possibility of extra dice, but that's its only advantage over Increment. His disregard of Short Circuit, especially at the end when he had a high CPU, was unfortunate though.

[@NumdegasedUHC]

@@kingacrisius Heat Sink is best used in combination with Mechanical Arm and Short Circuit, but Tyler had them, and with them it becomes incredible.

[@doomse150]

@@kingacrisius Heat Sink is definitely better than increment, if you throw anything but a 1 in there

[@natchu96]

I think heat sink makes the most sense if you're running some sort of Mechanical Arm focused build, it basically gives you more rolls. meanwhile Increment lets you force a jackpot with no risk of going over if you use it right, especially if you're building for a jackpot-focused build anyway since you'd have a wider jackpot range.

[@aronvarga7028]

Keep in mind you automatically heal to max when leveling up. This means you should keep your limit break on the last fight before leveling up, or even skip turns to purposefully max it out.

[@Toprak135]

5:04 Nudge is actually kind of useful for when you have a dice that is one too big for a certain card and also turning an even into an odd and vice versa. 10:46 Oh god. 13:10 I think it would be similar to Bump where if you bump a 6, it gives you the 6 back but you just generate a 1 out of thin air. So you're right, putting two 5s in would make a 6 and a 4.

[@justsomealligatorwithinter2115]

Remember to fight alchemist with thief until you get to use the bear potion, its a secret character

[@Maker0824]

As someone who’s never seen this character before, a tip is before using the Auto Roll limit break you should roll until you are it is at least possible to get an error because there is always a chance you just get a jackpot totally for free

[@madelinejester633]

@Samuel Werley but depending how the first few rolls go you may not need to autoroll-you might see your first three dice and know that you'll find lethal, or you'll know that it's impossible even with jackpot. Rolling as much as you can first cuts down on 'wasted' autorolls in both directions

[@hatimzeineddine8723]

24:36 you dont actually have to commit to cheat code ahead of time, if you are one away and use cheat code you get jackpot

Regardless, increment is just better, no dice restrictions, I guess cheat code + is more efficient than increment + because it uses less dice for the same result

[@natchu96]

@@taanwallbanks9841 why not both? extra safe that way, unless you need more damage-dealing equipment _that_ badly...

[@taanwallbanks9841]

@@natchu96 not just equipment, my main concern is the dice cost, potentially using 2/3 dice on a turn where you may want that many increments is quite expensive - if you want to increment twice you're better off using a upgraded cheat code, and the increment slot isn't going to get used, so might as well change it for an armour/weapon/anything else
