In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, mastering the dice game isn't just about luck; it's about strategic use of badges to tilt the odds in your favor. Here's a comprehensive guide to the top 10 badges that you should aim to acquire to enhance your gameplay and dominate the dice tables.
For players who encounter opponents relying on powerful badges, the Badge of Defense is a game-changer. It neutralizes the effects of your opponent's badges, rendering their perks ineffective. Available in Tin, Silver, and Gold, each version counters badges of the same quality. It's the perfect counter against those using Warlord or Doppelganger badges. You can purchase it from Karl von Unterbruck at Under the Bridge in Trosky or from Minstrel Roxanne at various roadside camps.
When the dice aren't rolling in your favor, the Badge of Fortune can turn things around. It allows you to reroll selected dice once per game, potentially saving you from a bust. The Tin version lets you reroll one die, Silver allows two, and Gold offers three. Obtain this badge by pickpocketing or looting it from Vauquelin Brabant in Raborsch.
The Badge of Transmutation offers the ability to change a die after rolling. The Gold version can transform any die into a 1, Silver into a 5, and Tin into a 3. Given that 1 and 5 can score independently, this badge is invaluable for maintaining your scoring streak. It's available for purchase from Henslin Schaber at roadside camps.
To boost your chances of landing a high-scoring combo, the Badge of Might adds an extra die to your roll. The Gold version can be used three times per game, while Silver and Tin versions are more limited. Combine this with special dice for maximum effect. Loot it from a hard lockpicking chest in Bathhouse Owner Adam's office in Kuttenberg.
The Warlord’s Badge can dramatically increase your points in a single turn, making it a crucial asset. The Tin version adds 25%, Silver 50%, and Gold doubles your points. You can buy it from Innkeeper Weighman in Kuttenberg or from tavern staff.
