Tiny Dice Dungeon Beginner Tips

As a beginner, you start out with once character, one dice slot, one attack dice, and one monster slot. The key to the beginning is getting your first monster as soon as possible and to start leveling it as well as your character up. You don't have many options at the beginning of the game, as you still have to rebuild your town, but as you progress you'll discover new things that will help you out. You should begin saving up coins as soon as possible and only spend them on upgrading your Monster Catcher and the Phoenix Ups. The Monster Catcher upgrades will give you a large boost to your monster catching abilities, and the Phoenix Up Upgrade will pay off more and more as you use the Phoenix Feathers. At the beginning, you should not have much trouble crafting new dice as most of the dice you can get early on in the game just require common shards. I would advise catching a Septic Snail when you get to the Poisoned Gate House and using it as your main monster early on in the game. The Septic Snail has powerful poison abilities that damage enemies when they are attacked as well as potentially multiple rounds after. When you unlock the second monster slot, simply find a monster that you think looks powerful and catch it. There will be more opportunities for you later in the game to create a good team. At this point in the game you have not yet unlocked the most powerful monsters or you lack the capture dice to catch them. As you start collecting items, equip them appropriately to your monsters and hero. When you click on an item, the column on the left represents defense while the one on the right represents attack. Try to use items that benefits the things that your monsters or heroes use, without hurting them too much. For example, some items give a boost to Poison attacks, while hurting Water attacks. This item would be most appropriate to give to a monster or hero that has Poison attacks but no water attacks.

  Battle Strategies
 In general, it is best to target the monsters with the lowest number of hit points first. In doing so you'll get attacked less in the upcoming turns (a defeated monster cannot attack you). Another plus for this strategy is that it will usually leave the strongest monsters for last, and then you can capture them. It took me a while to realize this, but consistent, average attacks often are better than going for big numbers and risking rolling a one. The only time going for big numbers is a good idea is when the opponent is low on HP. By rolling a number that greatly exceeds the opponents HP, your hero or monster recovers the difference in their own HP. So if my adventurer with 15 HP attacks a Buzzo (monster) with 5 HP and does 25 damage, my adventurer will now have an HP of 15+ (25-5) or 35 HP. Another benefit of doing this is that you get a lot of coins. In general, the more your attack exceeds the enemy's HP, the more coins you will get from it. I have also found that you are more likely to get dice shards or items by doing this.

 In a short overview:
 1. Spend your coins on upgrades
2. Fill all available monster slots
3. Try to get a Septic Snail when possible (Poisoned Gate House)
4. Small consistent attacks are usually better than big risky ones
5. By doing more damage than your opponent has left you are rewarded with both coins and HP
6. Equip appropriate items My next post will cover catching monsters, leveling up monsters, and selecting monsters to use.
