Helping goons with math
Can the Wizard's inspire spell allow me to use a single-use thing twice? Or not since the single-use thing would become a blank side?

Even if not, being able to add three to all sides of a die was pretty sweet:

Pretty good Blursed run. Maybe double the highest floor I got to with Cursed back in 1.0. I wish there was a leaderboard, I'm sure people are getting some pretty crazy numbers. Cursed was my favorite part of the game in 1.0, I think Blursed might be now because you get the interesting blessings right away.

Treasure-Seeker was nice because the extra item slot made it easier for me to offset and play around the cursed items.

They use the wand, now it's an X. You inspire the hero and they can act again, but now they just have an X.

I'm not sure either. I just did a global hard close and turned off mobile data and Wifi, and when I opened the game it took me right back to where I had been with no prompts at all.

So the fun thing about the wizard's 'character can use a die again' spell...

But no, once a wand is used, it's done.

Well, you technically are using the die again but that particular face has changed to an X because of the wand being used. Same with Exert faces, I think, they immediately go into cooldown mode and can't be double swung.

What does "focus" key word do?

2X vs the target of the previously used dice this turn.
Is this only with other focus keyworded dice? Can someone give me a use case for this.

Attack 2 with focus will do 4 damage if you use it immediately after another attack on the same monster. Same with shield/heal if you shield/heal the target with another die first. Does not require the first die to have the focus keyword, only the 2nd.

Hit the same thing with your focus dice as whatever you hit just before it. You got a sword, you got a focus sword. Hit a thing with the sword, then hit the same thing with the focus sword bing bong double pips.

Edit: It is too late/early to get this efb'd.

Blursed lets you choose 2 blessings to start off with instead of curses. Then you get a curse after every boss and a blessing after every 20 level reset. Honestly my favorite mode, it's a lot of fun playing around the blessings and curses.

drat that sounds great, how do I get that? Just squeaked out a win on Hard but did it in Custom Party Mode, wondering if I might need to do it in Classic.

Cleanse doesn't remove exert right? Kind of wish it did

On the other hand, spells that say "replace all blank sides" totally replaces exert.

Or for that matter, I bet duplicate works (though I don't think I've tried it).

An important note is that items that replace blank sides only check pre-fight, so you can't use them to do cheesy things with the artificer.

Edit: Well, adding an item that makes it so you can't reroll and an item that makes it so you can't lock did not have the interaction I was hoping for... C'mon Tann, that's just mean, it's such a rare combo...

So the 'Steam Link' iOS app totally works with Slice and Dice, once you add it to your library as a non-steam game.
Haven't tried running it from outside my network, but now I can play it when curled up on my couch.

My favorite part about this interaction is the fact that the first two turns with this combo I rolled incredibly well so I locked in the first roll and was like "hell yeah, beat the system". Then I realized this effectively locks you at 0 rerolls due to both restrictions

Can I suggest the Beta Curse: all alphas start in the back row

Blursed is definitely the best mode. Cursed etc just feel bad, constantly getting weaker. The blessings add yet another layer of fun decisions and cool combos. Plus getting the +item level stuff lets you see some wild items.

Just want to chime in and say I've also fallen into the 0 rerolls trap thinking it would be a great hack to get mad bonuses only to realise my folly on the first roll :negative:

First Hard victory! On Shortcut, to save time. Eccentric + Shuriken + Timestone resulted in him throwing out 8 damage twice a turn, sometimes to two targets. Before that I had a Catnip that ended up on my Wizard that let him do it 3 times with a Poet using the 're-use a dice' side! Rounded out by a Witch and a Dabblest. Dragon/Caw/Archer didn't stand a chance after that, even with Mortal on.

I certainly could have looked through the in-game compendium for this but are there any items that turn one-use dice X faces into something fun? Might be neat to see an item that supports a wand build

does the Stasis item that prevents dice faces from changing, stop single-use sides from getting used up? i took a different item instead because i was a coward and now i'm curious

I'm pretty certain there's an item that increases single use to double use although I haven't seen it since the update.

let's invade New Zealand, they have oil
I just had a weird thing (bug?) in hard where I chose "heavy weapons" and on fight 2 all dice on all characters gained single use (visible before round started) and it didn't carry on to fight 3.

Was there maybe a monster effect I didn't notice?

I got a bramble in my first fight with a custom party of 4x blue, 1x red, I literally could not damage it! Luckily I was able to get it to run away after killing the other monster.

One annoyance as well was I kept getting colour specific items for colours I didn't have in my party.
