Dicehead Character Guide
Luck-based Character With Completely Random Stat Progression.
This build weaponizes Dicehead's "Gamba Passive" to achieve infinite critical hit scaling. By stacking permanent crit chance on every level-up and combining it with critical damage multipliers, Dicehead becomes an unstoppable force in the late game. While the early game is weak and highly RNG-dependent, a successful run results in exponential power that dominates leaderboards. The core strategy is to prioritize experience gain to get more level-ups, thereby creating more opportunities for the "Gamba Passive" to trigger.
- Primary Mechanic: The "Gamba Passive" provides a permanent crit chance increase on every level-up where you roll a 6 on a dice.
- Scaling Strategy: The build scales by acquiring more levels to stack permanent crit chance and then multiplying that damage with critical damage items and tomes.
- Core Playstyle: An expert-level playstyle that requires patience and survivability in the early game to achieve unparalleled power in the late game.
- Power Curve: Dicehead has the longest power curve in the game, starting out very weak and becoming unstoppable after 20+ minutes.

Tomes are the foundation of this build, amplifying the power and frequency of your dice rolls.
- Essential Tomes: The XP Tome is the highest priority for accelerating leveling and providing more dice rolls. The Luck Tome is also a must-have as it increases your chances of rolling a 6. The Precision Tome increases your critical damage multiplier, which is crucial for maximizing your scaling.

- Item Breakpoints: The build becomes unstoppable once your crit chance reaches 30%+ with the Giant Fork.
