Really liking the special abilities on these cards. Seems very true to the heart of the character. Also, looks like some possibilities for an interesting meta game now that I'm thinking about what kind of team to make, and how my in-game dice purchase decisions will be driven in response to my opponent.
The Global Abilities add an interesting twist too, because you or your opponent are basically bringing a new Action option(s) that will then be present during that game, regardless of die purchases.
When I saw the previous instructional video, I noticed at the end that it said "gamplay" instead of "gameplay". But I thought: "the video is already uploaded, they won't be able to fix that". Now I see there's a second part with the same typo. I should have said something :( I hope maybe it can get fixed for future videos. As always, excellent videos!!!
Oh yes, in the credits! That's what happens when I rush. Yes, always feel free to call out something if you see it. I'll usually try to correct it, if I can.
I have 3 questions... 1. I have an Iceman card that says the first time I field another character each turn, Iceman gains +3A and +3D. Does this extra attack and defense go back down at the end of my turn or does it keep stacking? Can I keep adding 3 each turn to make +6, +9, etc.? 2. I have a Namor card that says if Namor is the only character left in my field at the end of any turn, I can field two sidekick dice from my used/prep area. Does this mean I can have 2 or 3 Namor dice in the field and still activate this ability? Or does it have to be 1 Namor die? 3. Where did you get your dice bags? The ones that came with my starter set are starting to wear. Thank you very much for posting this video. I ultimately decided to purchase this game after watching your videos. Keep up the good work!
1. It goes down at the end of each turn. 2. I don't have that card, but I'm assuming it means a single die. That's a good question for WizKids. 3. Some were sent to me by viewers, but you can also buy dice bags at game stores, usually. Hope that helps!
sasquatch1625 In response to the Namor question: With how he is worded, it would seem that if you have only Namor fielded, then his ability works. Normally, they get pretty specific. They'd have to say something like "If you only have 1 Namor dice fielded at the end of your turn, do xyz". It specifically says if Namor is the only one you have fielded, you get to use the ability. Since you have 1 or more Namor fielded...you still meet the criteria for the effect. Namor is the only character fielded. At least, from my understanding.
After watching your videos this weekend, today me and my buddy played are first couple games as a warm up to introduce it and start judging month 1 of MDMAvX. I have a couple questions, hopefully you can help... 1. 'BAC Force Beam - Deal 1 damage to each character (including yours) *Instead, deal 2 damage to each character **Instead, deal 1 damage to each player and 2 damage to each character.' With what's written on the card, If you haven't rolled a burst and you use this action you and your opponents character take 1 damage, do the characters have to be active or it does it matter if they are simply fielded? Also, if they are bursted there is not a '(including yours) so do you avoid the damage? 2. When there is mention of 'character' does that mean actual Marvel characters and not your sidekick? 3. On Deadpool - Jack, it states that when Deadpool attacks you may assign an opposing character to block him. At the end of the turn, KO that character. Does the opposing character have to be of lesser value? So for example, if I am forced to block with a bursted Hulk that has a A-8 and D-8, and Deadpool is lvl 1 and has a A-2 and D-4...will that still KO Hulk? I have a whole slew of questions Rodney, but for now I think these 3 should hold me over til you respond and then I can bombard you with more lol. Thanks
These are not official answers, just my confident take on it. 1) The Attack Zone is just another part of the field, so all characters in the attack zone specifically, and fielded, take the damage. Bursted or not, your characters take the damage as well. 2) Sidekicks are characters too. 3) Yep, the character is auto KO'd, regardless of stats.
This might replace my weekly magic night. this game looks like it should be amazing . I really can't wait for dc version though I'm sure the marvel will get played more with my friends.
Recently I just built a team that focuses around Jocasta [Patterned After Janet] and Mjolnir [Fist of the Righteous]. Now when i submitted that combo in a Dice Masters Discussion Group on Facebook, lots of people called me a freaking genius.
I heard somewhere that there is a DC set that is going to be compatible with this one.Its almost like playing V.S System all over again :-) Squeeeee!!!!!!
I just got my first copy of Dice Masters, which is the TMNT set. I've been trying to figure out how to play it and after watching most of your Dice Masters videos, I still have this question in mind: If my friend/friends and I are to play with everything coming from this box, which they don't have theirs, it is owned by me, how do we build our teams since everything have to be shared? Thanks for the reply and suggestions, Rodney!
I'm not sure what the TMNT set comes with, but I know for the Dice Masters starter, you could make a couple of smaller teams to play. If you really want your friends to be able to build whatever they want, they'll likely have to get their own cards and dice or just agree to build from whatever you don't use in your set.
Yes it does answer the question!Thanks Another question is do abilities from card go away when captured? Like if Captain America is under Thor would he still be considered active? Or is it like they're just gone.
Hi there !! First, i want to say, thank you for your videos. They've been both helpfull and teasing, the game do really looks fun, i've discovered the game via another, earlier video you made and pre-ordered ASAP the starter plus one o' those gravity thingy full of foil booster. Now I watched some games, played here and there, but i still have a remaining questions. Maybe once you have the rulebook under the nose it seems logicall but ... i know there are, in a "pro" team (perdon me i tend to forget each format's name, but the one where you initiate the game with 20 life points), you are supposed to dispatch 20 dices on your 8 character cards. What about the generic action card ? Do you always put on them as many dice as whatever the "max" value say ? I believe they hold 3 dices for the most, but i needed to ask to be shure haha. Also, on a more complexe and taste-related question, this time ; Is it me or the actions cards tend to be easyly overlooked or even unused ? And why do player tend and try to reroll characters instead of going on a shopping spree and bring like, 2 or three characters in a row thanks to thoses double-energy sides ? You know what they say, "Number is power", or "quantity over quality". While i highly doubt the trendy saying is here to be followed and the only way to win, as i'm eager to try that style of play, i was just curious if you actually saw players focusing on hiring dosen of hero and it didn't worked for them or if it's just plain rare to base a deck upon such strategy ... Well sorry for the big chunck of text, thanky you again for your passion and patience, and hope maybe i could play against you once i receive my dices, haha~
The BASIC Action cards that are available to both players, always get 3 Action dice each (remember, there are a couple of other Action cards, which are not Basic ones, that you can specifically have on your team of 8 cards - those you assign dice, like characters, up to their max). It's hard to say why a player may or may not go for an Action die in a given situation. It may be because they are new to the game, and don't see the value, or that they are trying something different in terms of their strategies. There are certainly some powerful Action dice effect. No worries on the questions, glad to help out if possible. I'm a little light on the information regarding strategy as I tend to play games very casually - as it's all my time will allow with my shooting schedule, but there are podcasts and strategy blogs out there that go into more detail.
***** Many thanks for thoses anwsers ! Yeah some actions sounds really helpfull to me, like gearing up or those two actions that can boost atack or defense with a global ability. Those later two could force your opponement to keep some energies aside in reserve, and if that work, you'll just have a step ahead to build and recruit whoever you want to. (that's how it sound on the paper anyway, gotta test those once i receive the package, probably like tomorrow haha). Thanks again for your time and aswers :D
Not many rule questions so let me start 1. Cards that say give a character +1+1 then * give another character +1+1 can you target the same character twice? 2. human torch says when you field a character (not dice) deal one damage when you field characters are they at the same time or fielded one at a time? I.E can you stack the effect or does it only resolve one per turn? 3. if I use smash one a lvl 1 then in response he levels up to lvl 2 does smash fizzle? Thats all I have off the top of my head I am sure I will have more soon
Here's my unofficial answers: 1. If it says "give another", then it would need to be another, different character. 2. This would resolve each time you field a character. So if you field 3 characters, it resolves three times. 3. I don't have the card in front of me, Smash is the one that KO's a level 1 character? If so, Smash would fizzle.
I have seen all this videos (great job by the way) but I have one question. Characters that don't get KO'd while blocked and the ones that just stay in the field and do nothing, stay in the game forever? or do they have a limit of turns they can stay in? Thanks.
First off, thank you for the videos. They have been so helpful! I do have a question about damage during combat. For example, the Red Hulk - Thunderbolt Ross card says that if he is "damaged during an attack phase but not knocked out, spin him up one level at the end of the turn." How would that work? Can a character be damaged but not knocked out, and what are the effects?
John Casamassa Hey John. A die is only knocked out, if the attack value is equal to or greater than the defense value of the target. Let's say the attacker hits Red Hulk with 2 attack, and Hulk has 3 defense, then hulk was "damaged", but not knocked out. So at the end of the turn, Hulk would spin up a level. Hope that helps!
What happens if you run out of dice in the bag and all other dice are on the field? i mean if theres no dice in the prep area or used area and you could only draw 3 dice, where the 4th come from?
If, after refilling the bag from the used pile, you are still only able to draw 3 dice or fewer, take 1 damage and gain 1 generic energy for each die below four that you drew. For example, if you drew only two dice from the bag, you would gain 2 generic energy and take 2 damage.
doomsday - unstoppable rampage says in the bottom text "When Doomsday is dealt damage, target opponent must spin down a non-Sidekick to level 1 or KO a character die". so if a non-sidekick can't spin down anymore, because they're already at level one, will they then have to KO a character die then?
+Michael Trevino That would be my understanding, but I would advise checking with the community on this one. I tend to avoid answering questions about specific card effects, because these are better answered by official sources (sometimes card effects get tricky based on certain interactions, etc).
Hi and thanks for your videos. I know I am late with that but just got the game. I have 1 question. Many action cards give bonuses with the ''!''. My question is if it is not mentioned on the card the any given bonus last until the end of round or turn, how long does such bonus last? Hope I'm clear since English isn't my first language lol... Thanks!
I watched all your videos for dice masters a while ago I thought i remembered you mentioning a rule about not being able to purchase two of the same dice in a turn. I can't seem to find that rule in the rule-book or in these videos. Am I mis-remembering that or did you mention that somewhere?
Thanks! One more thing, on the Iceman card it says no matter how many Iceman die you have fielded. But does that mean each die get 3 extra attack or only one?
When a character such as Loki controls another fielded character and has it on top... Does it get just the character dice abilities or does it also inherit all the card abilities? Example like if Loki controlled say Captain America would the Loki player now get +1A +1D for his sidekicks. Or is this just for the copied ability? Thanks and awesome videos!
When you take control of a die, the die still references the card associated with it (which is on your opponents side), so Cap would retain his abilities, but they would benefit the Loki player. Hope that helps!
new to this game, and i have a question, if i have a die in the prep area, do i have to used it immediately when its my turn again? or can i wait for a possible bigger/better roll 2 turns away. thanks, great videos btw.
I'm sorry if this is a repeat question. I did load all other comments and then tried ctrl + f, but didn't find my question. I've only watched 2 videos, so if my question is addressed later on then my bad. You say "choose 8 character cards" in the video; do I have to choose 8, or is it "choose up to 8"? As long as I can distribute all the die I need to, could I have just 5 character cards? For example, in a game with 20 character die, I choose to distribute 4 die to each character (5 different characters). This of course assumes each character has a max of 4 or more. Thanks for the videos, very clear and concise!
I'm confused about something. At 7:05 you're showing off the tournament team and you have Vibrainium shield and Mjolnir along with two actions at the far right (I forget what they were). I thought you were allowed only two actions. Or am I mistaken and they consider the shield and Mjolnir to be characters?
You are only allowed two of the "Basic" actions (these come in the Starter Set), and they go into the Action pool of cards that any player can buy dice from. However, the regular actions you put on your team, and only you can purchase the dice from them.
***** oh ok, that's where I was mistaken. I thought it limited all actions to two per player. Thanks for the info. Love the videos btw, all of them have been extremely helpful.
Now that there are more expansion characters out there, I have a question. I understand the rule of not having the same character card, since one would be able to build up a giant pool of the same kind of dice and have the versatility of choosing whatever ability one might want from any of its cards, but could one have two character cards with the same name but different artworks and dice colors? (e.g. Wolverine 'Antihero' uses blue dice write in yellow, the same of 'Superhero', 'The Best There is', or 'Not Very Nice' variations, so I understand that you can choose only one of those four, but Wolverine 'Wildboy' uses different dice - yellow dice write in blue, so...?)
Hey Rodney! Just wondering if you have a good resolution to the storage issue a starter pack and 1 display case of opened boosters created for me. Great videos BTW!
heroic dice basically mean that if paired with another heroic heroic you gain the affect on both cards for only the turn that card A and B have dice fielded, for example Cyclops die is feilded at the same time as prof x is feilded you would activate both dies heroic abilty until the end of your turn but after that turn their heroic abilities cannot be reactived untill both heroic die is placed in the field after being rolled in the draw step
Great video Rodney, thanks! Question: when more than one die of a particular character is fielded, do I treat those dice as a single character when attacking or blocking? Or can I split them up?
how was the captain america die lvl2 when he had A5/D5 isnt it lvl 3 when it is the last die shown on the card? or did you just get confused by the cost value?.
Is there an official marking for hero's and villains on the cards? Was just curious if Loki's neg 1 att and neg 1 def would affect someone like Deadpool
I have a question concerning timing for global actions and action cards. In the rule book it states that both global affects and action cards can be played during either main phase. Is this the only time they can be played, or can global affects be played at anytime? For example, my opponent has moved to the attack step, I still have energy in my reserve pool. After damage is assigned, I play a global affect that says prevent 1 damage using my available engergy. Is this legal?
I can't say why the designers did it this way with certainly, but I assume it's because this way, you will always go two full turns before placing any newly purchased dice into your bag.
Hey Rodney. THis was very useful but I wonder if you can help with some clarifications. I have checked BGG and the forums are RAGING with debate on this matter, so I figured I'd ask the Pro. My opponent has 3 life left. What if I am attacking (Green Goblin+SideKick+SideKick+Sidekick) [Irrelevant which Goblin] Opponent uses Iron Man: Philanthropist to block GG. [Which give him an extra life for each damage dealt to Iron Man] How does this work? Do the sidekicks get through which would cause 3 damage and win me the game BEFORE Iron Mans power? Or Does Iron Mans power fire first giving my opponent a life boost and keeping him/her in the game? There are several cards with these kind of effects and perhaps there is some subtle wording I'm not getting. Your our last hope Rod.
Based on the order in which dealing damage is listed in the rulebook, it would appear you resolve all blocked characters and effects first, and then resolve unblocked characters.
***** Thanks Rod. There are some strong opinions on this matter, but I would agree with you. I think the main areas of contrversy lie with Iron-Man, Hulk and Hawk-Eyes abilities. Although I've only encountered Iron Man so far, I have seen others post about the Latter two's abilities in this context as well.
Sean Burrows I'm back with an authoritative answer for you: (Rulebook Page 8-Assign Damage) Both players assign damage. Damage occurs simultaneously. (In the rare case where it is relevant, the attacking player assigns first, although damage still resolves simultaneously.) So, in most instances, damage is resolved simultaneously-but in certain instances where it would matter (like the scenario you described above) it would be resolved in the order that is determined by the active player.
***** I think this is what has got a lot of people thinking. One theory is that "Damage Assignment" is independent from "Damage Resolve". I think this came up in the case of the Hulks ability (not sure what it was - something about increasing his A & D by 3 once he is damaged). So with that in mind, damage is assigned by both players (Or as I imagine it in this context, kind of like freeze/bullet time in a video game) which could inflict a negative score on a characters life, then powers are triggered (if any) and then you check for KO. So the controversy comes back to my situation because... A. If your character can take negative damge before he/she is KO'd, is the same said for the case of Iron-Man (Philanthropist) and healing a players life? B. If this theory is wrong, then when does Hulks ability fire? Right after he takes the first damage? But in which case why is his card not just worded as hulk has +X amount of A & D? I think the answers will lie in future cards and strategies really, but I can see how this is presenting itself as a real problem for players as it seems to imply one set of rules for one situation and then another set for a different. Sorry if this I am bugging you with all this as well, but I think people look to you as the MDM expert right now. At least I do :) Thanks for listening.
I am wondering about expansions, will there be additional Marvel specific expansions? or will it stop at x men vs avengers, and move on to dc and others?
If a card ability makes a die spin up/down to another level... Is that a permanent change? I feel like it is but the rules say that in the clean up step all card effects go away as well.
Hi I have 2 questions.First how many white sidekick dice do you start off with for tournament? Also how many die do the effect cards at the side get. Do I pool the 20 total in with the heroes/villains?much thanks.
+nick taylor Tournament rules tend to be updated by the publisher, so I would double check with them on any tournament specific questions, however, as far as I know, you start with the same number of side kicks are a standard game. Basic Actions get 3 dice.
Me and a friend had our first game Marvel Dice Masters last night and really enjoyed it. A few questions were raised. Can you stack Action Cards? I.e. could I combine the effects of 'Inner Rage' with 'Thrown Car' or could I use 'Thrown Car' Twice? If I used 'Energy Beam' and it did 1 DMG to all characters' will that DMG stay til the end of the round? Could I use it to weaken a character before I fielded my character and then use my character to finish him off? Thanks :-D
You can play multiple actions to receive their results multiple times (as long as you have the dice to pay their cost to activate). Damage dealt lasts until the end of the turn. Hope that helps!
Hey Rodney, I have a question: Vibranium Shield and Mjolnir are not action cards? So you can't have 8 or 6 characters and those two together with them? Thanks for your help and time.
Just to be clear, Vibranium Shield and Mjolnir are action cards. But they are not "Basic" Action cards. Basics are the ones you and your opponent bring in addition to your 8 card team, that are available to be bought by both players during gameplay. Action cards like the shield are part of your 8 card team and only you can buy dice from them during the game. Hope that helps!
When you put more than one characters to attack but you piut their attack numbers together , combine the characters. Can you combine more than 2 together
I'm not looking at the cards right now, but I would suspect it's dependent on the wording. If it says "target any character", than I would read that as including your own characters.
Could you tell me the definitions of "character" and "character die" because sometimes they seem interchangeable, other times they appear to have their own meanings. Ready to Rocket! action card (Age of Ultron) says "Target CHARACTER DIE gets +2A..." but then goes on to say: "Teamwork: another target CHARACTER gets +2A..." Ive heard that "character" applies to all dice belonging to a character card, if so then this action seems oddly lopsided, as though you can boost a single die, and then multiple dice if they share the same affiliation.
atowncalledbedlam To be honest, I'm not sure why they chose this wording in those two cases, Might be a good question to check with WizKids on. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Wizkids are hard to get any info out of, same with this game really, there needs to be a comprehensive rules PDF, the pamphlets are barebones to say the least. I've posted in their rules forum and gotten zero replies.
Thank you for making these videos to help people. I do have a quick question. Can you play more then just a 2 player game? Like a 4 person or 3 person game using one large collection of dice and cards? Or does everyone need to own there own set?
Ok, I have a question or two. When you roll the dice (side kicks) to purchase the Hero dice. When you roll the Hero die, from the side kick roll, to your reserve pool. You can only use that hero if he is rolled combat side up? You have extra energy to use it. But can you use energy to roll it again?
I'm not sure I really understood some of your question. You are right on this point, you can only field a character die when it is showing a non-energy side.
Question 1 was really. To use your hero, He must land on his combat side?, or only as the energy that was on that die? The second question was with that energy can you use it to buy more energy dice type? Like fist energy use to buy mask energy.
My understanding is that it gives you the energy as well, but this would be a good question to pose to WizKids directly, as I can't really speak with authority about this.
Rrod913 If I understand the question: If you pull your four dice for turn and roll them, and you roll a Relentless action dice as one of those four, and you land on a !, you have to resolve Relentless' action, which is turn the ! into a 2 energy.After doing that, you may choose any single Sidekick or Character dice and reroll that. Once you do, you now may choose to continue with the reroll portion of your roll/reroll step. You may reroll the dice you changed using Relentless if you so desire. Relentless basically ensures you get 2 energy and a free shot at getting a character or energy on another dice.
Hey there Rodney. We just picked up Uncanny X-men starter. Question: In the attack phase, does a player have to commit all attackers initially, or can a player send some dice into an attack action and after resolving start a new attack with other dice in the field? In other words, can a player attack more than once on their turn? Thanks, I can't seem to find that answer anywhere.
The game works much like Magic the Gathering in this regard. You must decide all at once who is attacking. You can't choose to send Spiderman, Human Torch and Cyclops in for an attack, but keep your Captain America held back to see how or if they block, THEN send in Captain America. Hope that helps!
Each player brings 2 basic action cards, but theres only 3 colors for basic actions. How is it decided whos basics will be purchasable, in a previous vid it was said either player can buy from the public selection of action cards? I feel like I missed something
It's been long enough since I shot this that I don't remember the answer, and I lent my copy to a friend, so I can't easily look up the answer for you. Sorry!
More recent starter sets and campaign boxes for Dice Masters have more colors. For example, the Warhammer 40k campaign box has Blue, Purple, Red, and Orange.
Say I have three character dice fielded, and my opponent also as three character dice fielded then I capture an opposing die leaving my opponent with only two dice fielded. If I then attacked with all 3 of my dice does that mean one would go unblocked and deal damage to the player?
My friend and I just started playing this and we found your videos very helpful to learn how to play. I was just wondering is there any benefit to all the characters being on the same team? For instance, if my whole team is all X-Men is there some kind of stat buff or are the teams just there so you know who is who?
Say player A and B are playing and player A is the active player: Both have some energy in reserve and player A attacks. Player A doesn't announce that he is using a global ability, and player B announces that he wants to use the ability of card X. Now, player A sees that he will have an unfavorable outcome so he decides to also activate that same ability from card X. Can player B change his decision to activate some other ability from card Y? I'm not sure if I'm reading the rules wrong, but it seems the rules give a bit too much freedom to interpretation here.
Nikola Luburić Once you declare you are doing something, then that something is happening - you can't change your mind once your opponent reveals what they are doing in response to what you decided.
***** So if A is the active player, and B says "I'm using global power X" player A can also use global power X first and at that point player B can't back out?
Nikola Luburić Ah, I see what you are saying. On this matter I think it would be better to get an official answer from WizKids. I can't really speak officially about that, as I agree, it's not completely addressed in the rule as written.
Complete noob here. So let me get this straight, if I roll up two leveled faces of a character die, I can pay the field cost for one but not both as that character can't have a clone right? however I can field one and leave the other in reserve to quickly replace a ko on a subsequent turn?
You can have multiple copies of a character out. Instead o thinking of it as clones, you can imagine it as a combined "stronger" version of the one character.
I haven't tried that. There could be, but I think it's more about the synergies between the cards and their effect, than through similar dice types, but there are some effects that work off of certain energy based characters.
If you don't have enough different energy characters, you may not be able to purchase dice (except basic actions). You normally roll only 4 dice per turn, so lacking characters of 1 or 2 of the energy types limits your options when you don't roll energy types your characters need. If it happens a few times, you may have a hard time catching up.
This may be a stupid question, but my friend said that you can buy dice at any point in the game, is that true, or do you only get the 6 that you start out with. Thanks
Samuel Kellar-long I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but watch this part here and see if it helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rVmqPvAVPI4.htmlm5s
***** Sorry, I guess my question wasn't clear. I want to know if you can use any other character cards that were not chosen at the beginning. Like, can I buy a card thats in the deck if I have enough energy to pay for it? Thanks
Samuel Kellar-long I'm not sure I understand entirely, as there should be no deck of cards on the table when you play the game. Instead, each player pre-builds their team, and those are all laid out on the table individually, with the starting dice on them, along with the Basic Action cards that were chosen. I'm wondering, do you mean, can a player, during the game, decide to add in a new character from their collection of cards they have bought at a store, but didn't include in the team that the started the game with? In that case, no. All of the players know exactly what they are facing once the game begins. You can't start adding new members to your team in the middle of a game. Does that help? You should ask your friend where they saw this rule. I'd be curious to know.
Hello! I am brand new to the game, joining in because of the introduction of Yu-Gi-Oh!(a TCG which I have played for quite some time). In other games, I've seen that sometimes you can not mix and match different sets/series. Is it allowed to use the new YGO characters with those of Marvel characters?
you can and you can get some crazy combos with marvel , yugioh d&d and now DC dicemaster, the only down side it the cost to collecting everything and with yugioh die you must trade both both the die and card (if you decide to trade that spare time wizard). You might get a bit confused with terminology but you found be ok
Hey, me again, me and a friend have run into a small bit of text "when such and such character is active, your opponent must pay 2 to use basic dice" and just wondering what do we pay 2 of, haven't been able to figure that out, any help you can offer is much appreciated, thanks.
matrix23456 Whenever it says Pay 1/2 etc. it means pay that number of any type of energy. Similar to fielding costs, the type doesn't matter, just the amount of energy.
Any idea how to get somebody into dicemasters if that person knows nothing about deckbuilding and I am the one who owns all of the cards/dice we are going to play with? Some kind of simple draft?
Thanks Man, I hope It will go well, its an amazing game. Love your videos also, I watch them even if I'm not buying the game, I guess it says a lot. Cheers!
oracle has an affect when he is in play opp fielding cost costs 1 more. if i have 3 oracles in play does that mean they have to pay 3 extra for to field or is it just 1 still?
I can't be more helpful there Katie, I tend to avoid answering questions on specific dice effects, especially from sets I haven't played before. Sorry!
Hey, just a quick question, might have some more later, but this has to do with the new set, hopefully you'll be able to help. On the Ultron Card from the new set, one of them anyway, it says, When Ultron is blocked, capture all blocking dice (return them at end of turn), wondering if that means, if ultron is blocked by all your opponents stuff, does ultron go through and do his damage? Thanks, appreciate any help you can provide.
matrix23456 Hey - sorry I can't be of more help. I've only worked with the original set. Might be a good question to put to WizKids directly, or to post on Board Game Geek.
RJ Banez Dice and Cards are not particularly expensive. TrollandToad sells dice and cards pretty cheap. Commons and Uncommons sell from .50 - $1 for once dice and 1 matching card, while rares usually go for about $6 though that might change depending on how competitive they are. Super Rares seem to go for very high prices though, typically $25 plus. Though, if you like to buy boosters, for a dollar you get 2 random dice with matching cards.
What's the point of capturing dice? It doesn't seem to benefit anyone but the captured die and only lasts until the end of the turn of whenever the die was captured.
It's been a little while since I recorded this, so I'm having trouble thinking of a good example off the top of my head, but it's one of those cases where when you see a situation where it could be helpful, it makes sense :)
Got'cha. Love your videos and I just started playing and collecting Dice Masters stuff recently and me and my buddy ran across some cards that use Capture, but it didn't seem too useful. Thank you for your expedient reply, however!
I've been playing for about a year, so I am by no means an authority, but the way I see it, say both players have 2 character dice in the field. You use your capture ability, before you start attacking, so you could capture 1 of the two opponents characters, making that character die useless for your opponent. Therefore, your opponent can not block or use any special abilities from the character card. That way you can proceed to attack and the opponent may block with the one die they have left, but you could attack with both of your die and one of them would be unblocked, so the attack would cause damage to the player. Make sense?
timothy pierce Hey Timothy, I can't quite make out what it is you're asking. Could you give me a few more details? I'll gladly answer you if I'm able. Perhaps you can let me know the exact moment in the video you're unsure about.
its not in this video. it is on the card my blue dragon master dragon card. ii has breath weapon 3 then i got to pay 3 to deal 3 damage. what dose it mean pay 3. the card dose not have what i pay 3 is
timothy pierce Ah, I see. That is from a different set. You'll want to follow up with WizKids, or perhaps check in the forums here for an answer: boardgamegeek.com/forums/thing/160902/dungeons-dragons-dice-masters-battle-faerun
Hey. This might be a noob question, but Psylocke, Betsy Braddock kinda confuses me. Does she remove a die with fielding cost 2 or less, or does the cost refer to the dice purchase cost? I would think the former, but insta-exile on fielding cost 2 seems way too good. Kept chumping and re-fielding with her yesterday and ousted Apocalypse a number of times. boardgamegeek.com/thread/1234878/psylocke-here
I agree with Watch It. You move a sidekick or a character who costs 2 to purchase. They would specifically state Fielding Cost of 2 or less if that's what they meant.
In order to KO a character with Iron Will, they need to be damaged first. So for example if you are using Hulk - Jade Giant and you want to KO Superman - Invulnerable (who has Iron Will) he cannot be KOd unless he has been previously damaged that turn (like from combat or magic missile global). Hope this helps.
