In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, mastering the art of dice isn't just about rolling the dice and hoping for the best; it's about strategy, and badges play a crucial role in tilting the odds in your favor. Here's a rundown of the top 10 badges you should aim to acquire to dominate the dice game.
For those who face opponents with powerful badges, the Badge of Defense is your secret weapon. It neutralizes the effects of your opponent's badges, rendering their perks ineffective. Available in Tin, Silver, and Gold, each level cancels out badges of the same quality. It's the perfect counter if you're up against someone using Warlord or Doppelganger badges. You can acquire this badge from Karl von Unterbruck at Under the Bridge in Trosky or from Minstrel Roxanne at random roadside camps.
When luck seems to elude you, the Badge of Fortune steps in to turn the tide. It allows you to reroll selected dice once per game, giving you a chance to recover from a potential bust. The Tin version lets you reroll one die, Silver two, and Gold three. You can obtain this badge by pickpocketing or looting Vauquelin Brabant in Raborsch.
The Badge of Transmutation offers the ability to alter a die after rolling. The Gold version transforms any die into a 1, Silver into a 5, and Tin into a 3. Since 1 and 5 can score independently, this badge is essential for maintaining your scoring streak. It's available for purchase from Henslin Schaber at roadside camps.
To enhance your chances of scoring big combos, the Badge of Might allows you to add an extra die to your roll. The Gold version can be used three times per game, while Silver and Tin have more limited uses. Combine this badge with special dice to maximize your points. It can be looted from a hard lockpicking chest in Bathhouse Owner Adam's office in Kuttenberg.
Sometimes, a single round can make all the difference. The Warlord's Badge boosts your points for one turn, potentially altering the game's outcome. The Tin version increases points by 25%, Silver by 50%, and Gold doubles them. You can buy it from Innkeeper Weighman in Kuttenberg or from tavern staff.

Maximize your points with the Doppelganger Badge, which doubles the score of your last throw. If you've just rolled a high score, this badge lets you capitalize on it.

If you're adept at using special dice that frequently roll 1s, the Emperor's Badge is essential. It triples the points for the 1+1+1 formation, turning a 1,000-point throw into 3,000. Its repeatable use makes it an excellent choice for rapid point accumulation. You can buy it from Minstrel Roxanne at roadside camps.
Avoid the frustration of a bust with the Badge of Resurrection, which grants a second chance by allowing you to reroll all dice if you bust. The Gold version offers three uses, while Silver and Tin are more limited. It's available from Minstrel Roxanne at roadside camps.
