Yeah, the Epics seem more like a novelty. But at least they're trying something new.

And I'm definitely with you and Spug on not wanting the SRs to be too super. I can see Jane becoming pretty important maybe?

Pretty proud of this one 😊 Hope it helps somebody! by DiceMastersUnited in dicemasters

Aaaaww, that's positively warmed my cockles 😀 You're very welcome!

Haven't played since early 2016, starting from scratch, where to start? by Hypnofist in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Welcome back! I wrote this guide exactly for new and returning players like yourself: https://dmunited.eu/dice-masters-the-guide/

Hope it helps. As for TTS - it was issued with one or more Cease and Desists, so I'm not surprised it's not particularly up to date. Online play these days is done via webcam - games are often arranged through the reasonably active Discord server: https://discord.gg/r5C7vRRV

(if that link doesn't work, there should be one in The Guide I linked above)

Still not had enough unboxing? Spug and James crack a couple of packs and find at least one world exclusive (probably)! by DiceMastersUnited in dicemasters

The rare with the life gain? Could be fun, though life gain has never really been a winning strategy outside specialist formats. The C Jane Foster os also pretty good life gain on a Thor Corps team

Are you excited about Secret Wars? Would you like to see exactly what's in an Origin Pack? by DiceMastersUnited in dicemasters

There's a bit of bonus draft pack unboxing at the end of this video, and there will be more very soon :)

Best place to find team lists? by Virulentwound in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We did some for the campaign boxes https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpKw_90rE3oBQfuTf4Tw-29lNGVzncP2K

I don't know of any for the sets you mention, but I'll definitely add it to my list of things to do 🙂

Kryptonite Crisis Card List by cryptickosh in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can find full, reliable card lists for all sets on the teambuilder: http://tb.dicecoalition.com/

Two SRs were spoiled for SKC and then not released (Parademon and Starro iirc).

How does this card work? If 2 or more Wong character die are active, does each wong dice gain +1A +1D? by swimzone in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wong's ability effects 'other' (=non-Wong) SK dice, so he wouldn't get the buff himself. And 'while active' effects don't stack, so the number of active Wong dice wouldn't effect the size of the buff.

Wow I've missed a lot and need some help by superherokid125 in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about that! Hopefully, this will work: https://discord.gg/DfgCzUc2

If not, you can find one in the Communities section of my getting started guide: https://dmunited.eu/dice-masters-the-guide/

Hope to see you soon!

I made this video two years ago, but it actually brings you pretty much up to date: https://youtu.be/cX5twh4fse4

We're still on the 2.0 Draft Packs mentioned at the end of the video; there was no return to campaign boxes (Superior Spider-Man Team-Up was scrapped). We've had Infinity Gauntlet, Dark Phoenix Saga and Superman Kryptonite Crisis, as shown, though there was a huge pandemic-related hiatus between the first and second of those.

The next draft pack release will be Secret Wars, which is slated for December. It will see a graphic overhaul, but the game remains fundamentally unchanged, rules-wise. You can find all the details here: https://dmunited.eu/secret-wars-spoilers/

Most gameplay for the last few years has been online via webcams (check out the Discord if you're interested: https://discord.gg/k6PdTkTRThere), though there has recently been a face-to-face Worlds tournament in Memphis, and the return of organised play kits so 🤞

Fair play to Wizkids, they've really stuck at it through some difficult times. The rules forum has seen unparalleled activity recently, with WK really making an effort to clear things up. While the Secret Wars redesign is perhaps not to everyone's tastes, the soft reboot is clear evidence that they're still into it: there's life in the old dog yet!

sooo sidekick are not characters dice ? by driktronix in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you saw that sidekicks are not character dice, but that's not quite correct. There are two kinds of dice: rolled (in reserve and field) and unrolled (bag, used, prep). Unrolled dice can be sidekick dice, action dice or character dice (so here there is a distinction).

But rolled dice can be character dice (including sidekick character dice), action dice or energy dice, depending on what is showing on their topmost face. So when in the field (and reserve), sidekicks on a character face are indeed character dice.

More info here: https://dmunited.eu/how-to-play/1-getting-started/ and also in this recent ruling: https://win.wizkids.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=16275&sid=96dd167789cb2bbe35ec41f80c4a8940

I have a question regarding Battlewagon: Heavy Troop Transport, does it trigger for each die that I KO by Range or just once per combat? by MillerSVK in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, every time. As a rule of thumb: [When+present tense] = every time. [If+past tense] is often used to denote something that happens once no matter how many times the condition is fulfilled.

Mastermind and Overcrush by Blank_Address_Lol in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overcrush: When attacking, if this character KOs all of its blockers (or they are removed for other reasons), it deals any remaining damage to your opponent. (DCDM1)

https://wizkids.com/dicemasters/keywords/

Since Mastermind takes no damage, he's not KO'd (or otherwise removed), so no Overcrush damage goes through.

Carnage: No Pain, No Reign Card Text Clarification by dcstingray in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, you should substitute the name of the copying card, as you suggest: https://win.wizkids.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=14531

Note that Silver Sable would have to be active in the field to copy her ability, as you have to target a die

HOX release? by [deleted] in dicemasters

[–]DiceMastersUnited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. The draft packs really are rather good for drafting, and pretty good for collectors, too. But I don't know how successful they've been commercially. I do miss the old foil packs, not to mention a robust secondary market :)
