Dice in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 isn't just about luck; it's a strategic game, and badges are key to mastering it. To significantly improve your dice game, here are ten essential badges you need to acquire.

10. Badge of Defense

Counter your opponent's powerful badges with the Badge of Defense. This badge negates the effects of opponent's badges, rendering their perks useless. Available in Tin, Silver, and Gold, each tier counters badges of the same quality. Essential against players using Warlord or Doppelganger badges.

Locations: Karl von Unterbruck (Under the Bridge, Trosky) or Minstrel Roxanne (random roadside camps).

9. Badge of Fortune

Lady Luck not on your side? The Badge of Fortune lets you reroll selected dice once per game. Tin rerolls one die, Silver two, and Gold three. A great way to recover from a bad roll.

Location: Pickpocket or loot from Vauquelin Brabant in Raborsch.

8. Badge of Transmutation

Change a die's value after rolling with the Badge of Transmutation. Gold turns any die into a 1, Silver to a 5, and Tin to a 3. Perfect for maintaining scoring streaks, as 1 and 5 are valuable on their own.

Location: Buy from Henslin Schaber (roadside camps).

7. Badge of Might

Increase your chances of high-scoring combos by adding an extra die to your roll with the Badge of Might. Gold allows three uses per game, while Silver and Tin offer fewer. Combine this with special dice for maximum impact.

Location: Loot from a hard lockpicking chest in Bathhouse Owner Adam’s office (Kuttenberg).

6. Warlord’s Badge

Sometimes, one decisive round is all you need. The Warlord’s Badge boosts your points for a single turn. Tin adds 25%, Silver 50%, and Gold doubles your points.

Locations: Innkeeper Weighman in Kuttenberg or tavern staff.

5. Badge of Headstart

Gain an early advantage with the Badge of Headstart, which awards bonus points at the game's start. Even the lower tiers provide a significant lead.

Locations: Minstrel Roxanne (roadside camps) or some tavern staff in Kuttenberg.

4. Doppelganger Badge

Maximize your points with the Doppelganger Badge, which doubles the score of your last throw. Gold allows three uses, while Silver and Tin have fewer. Perfect for capitalizing on big rolls.

Locations: Secret Prayer Room Innkeeper in Kuttenberg or Minstrel Roxanne.

3. Emperor’s Badge

For strategies focused on rolling 1s, the Emperor’s Badge triples the points for a 1+1+1 formation (turning a 1000-point throw into 3000). Its repeatable use makes it incredibly powerful.

Location: Minstrel Roxanne (roadside camps).

2. Badge of Resurrection

Avoid the devastating bust with the Badge of Resurrection, which lets you reroll after a failed throw. Gold allows three uses, while Silver and Tin offer fewer.

Location: Minstrel Roxanne (roadside camps).

1. Badge of Advantage

The ultimate badge in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The Badge of Advantage unlocks unique scoring combinations: Tin (Carpenter’s Badge) unlocks 3+5; Silver (Executioner’s Badge) unlocks 4+5+6; and Gold (Priest’s Badge) unlocks 1+3+5, one of the game's best combos. Its repeatable use provides a significant advantage.

Locations: Minstrel Roxanne or Henslin Schaber (roadside camps).

For serious dice players, collecting these badges is crucial. The right combination of badges and special dice can make you virtually unstoppable in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
