Robot

The Robot is Dicey Dungeons' third playable character. They're a humanoid robot that entered the Dungeons in order to improve themself. The Robot is unlocked after the player plays through an episode as the Thief.

The Robot was the fifth playable character added to Dicey Dungeons, first appearing in v0.10.

The Robot is a huge fan of self-improvement and entered the Dungeons in order to improve themself. Their first improvement is eliminating their need to sleep, and they plan to play for immortality next time.

Unlike other characters who have a certain number of dice each level, the Robot relies on a counter with a CPU limit that is increased with each level. The counter ticks up every time a dice is calculated based on the value of the dice, but going over the counter will cause an “error” destroying all equipment for the turn.

However, if the counter reaches the CPU limit exactly, the Robot attains a Jackpot, which can give various bonuses. During the first few episodes, the Robot can deal 5 damage, heal 3 health, or roll another dice with the Jackpot. In the fifth and sixth episodes the Jackpot chooses three bonuses from a larger list of options. The Robot's Limit Break, Autoroll, is designed to guarantee that this Jackpot will happen.

Character Tips

  • It's always safe to roll dice until the CPU is within 5 of the target. Once at that point, it's best to use the dice.
  • The Robot benefits more from large amounts of dice, so it's better to find ways to reduce CPU. Frozen can actually benefit the Robot thanks to it guaranteeing that more dice can be rolled.
  • Ultima Weapon and Buster Sword both have their advantages. Ultima Weapon can be used on each Limit Break, guaranteeing that any troublesome enemy can be taken down when Autoroll is used. Buster Sword is useful as insurance to prevent a starting roll of multiple 6s causing a bad turn.
