Die in the Dungeon CLASSIC

The dice combinations I used vary from one run to another but generally follow a simple set of rules that make this achievement possible:

- Mirror + Boost

- Defense is the best offense

- The deterministic strategy

- Grow and hollow

- block & heal

The first rule is simple, always have a perma-mirror or a mirror die with all sides equal to 4 and the hollow property, that is a die that substantially a times 2 to whatever is opposite to it. And always have a boost die to work with it, because of geometry a boost die with only 2s and 3s will add 6 to whatever the mirror is duplicating if you play your dice correctly.

The second rule is a double, your dice that aren't support (terrain, mirror, boost) should all be focussed on Heal / Block, apart for one singular die. That must be able to hypothetically win every encounter if given enough time, so if it has the "area" or the "grow" effect it is more than enough, otherwise a "The Holy" is a good weapon to have.

The deterministic Strategy is a vague rule to say the least, the thing is, the less luck there is in your rolls, the more consistent results you'll get, which is very important if you are testing your luck of a roll multiple times per encounter per floor. With each new undetermined variable the chances of making it far become more and more slim. Because of that it is better to avoid having more than 5 dice in your bag at the start of an encounter as there will be a world in which you will roll bad dice that don't help you survive.

Grow and hollow is a lesson everybody knows, spam grow and hollow on all the dice you have, make sure to always be able to play 5 dice in one turn and make sure that your strength that keeps increasing with time.

Finally we have the "Block & Heal", this isn't a strategy, it's  a must to survive in the late levels, you need to find the "menacing spider" encounter and need to get a "block and heal die", without it you are basically guaranteed not to pass floor 50 or even sooner.

The best possible scenario would be to have 2 "Gold grow and hollow Block and Heal die", and if you look into the photo of the world record you'll see that I only needed the "grow" option on the second one and I would have been complete, until there I had been using a "Gold grow and hollow Block die", which is significantly worst than the die I was aiming for.

AS A SIDE NOTE, in my world record run it might look like I broke two rules: The deterministic strategy and the "grow and hollow", as I have a sixth die that is the "gold glass Terrain die", however that isn't a problem for the deterministic strategy for my intention is to play it as soon as possible to get a power boost in my defensive dice and after that never touch it again (The glass was intentionally put on that die for this specific reason.) And because of the glass property the "grow" property isn't applicable and the "hollow" property would be wasted on that die.

If you need more explanation just ask me, I'll always be happy to help.

I got there thrice and it isn't my high score

However I'm glad to see that you're almost at my level, keep going and you'll reach me.

Not to offend you, but once I managed to deal 200 damage to the Queen Bee fight by exploiting Terrain-Honey combos, here it is:

Try only using 5 dice max, it is called "The deterministic Strat", if you only have 5 dice you will always know which dice you are going to get and can plan really far ahead.

Who's dices are who's good question I just look at what is going to happen if I press finish and plan from there.

Mission failed, you'll get em next time

very funny, it is a feature and very lucky

It is, you should have never gotten that, also floor 42, good job, try to push for the 50+

but you didn’t get the orange yellow die and the pink die I got the orange die but died at that floor !
