- Dicey Dungeons Part 5 - it's the season of the witch! In June. The most complicated character so far, this one feels like it genuinely has a high skill cap. Cast spells to unlock incredibly powerful attacks, think several steps ahead in my favorite character yet!

So, hall of mirrors is a spell that gives the witch scaling potential, and is phenomenal for boss fights. After two turns of getting it to go off you’re rolling two extra dice which means two extra attacks, or an extra attack and an extra die. It’s a really solid pick for tanky builds, but is also just all around good
In the ascension where your dice rolls are guaranteed (6,5,4,3,2,1,6…) I got 47 dice 😂
I got 53 dice
I don't know, it's debatable whether it's good or not. If you have more of a stall build it's okay, but Tyler seems to prefer heavy damage-dealing builds so it's not great for him.
So far, Tyler's fights haven't really been going past turn 3-4, so I don't think it would be that useful to do instead of doing 6/10/14 damage
I was honestly struggling with the first Witch episode until I tried running full hall of mirrors strat myself...it's usually between that or prepared slots with big numbers but really when you have enough dice flowing in you can get a lot of damage just by overwriting your slots multiple times a turn.
I wonder if he’ll go into the later levels of the characters after he’s done.
He likes ascensions im pretty sure
Definitely
this was less then an hour ago and it already has 40~ likes
I’m pretty sure he’s continuing the series dependent on popularity
@@jaydonzornes4493 sounds like we better show support for it then. 😂
OP, I also hope he goes through all the difficult scenarios
Best character is finally here! She can actually break the game with the right setup. Infinite dice every turn.
It’s funny how one of her challenge runs is actually easier than her normal run lol
Going infinite with this character is amazing
Which setup is it?
Nah, she's not the best Dice. I prefer to snap.
Yeah
Tyler: “More dice is almost always better”
Also Tyler: Gets rid of hall of mirrors
*almost*
this man dropped hall of mirrors like someone dropping fecundity pre-nerf!!!
A held on to Magic Shield for far too long.
I dont even play this game and i felt horrible when he dropped it
@@taechuK same he can be pretty dumb some times
@@suieisuiei9219 it was still a win at the end of the day, so no matter how stupid it seems it worked!
@@CruelFire99 true
10:24 Hall of Mirrors is hands down the best spell IMO, since it stacks -- as soon as you find 1 health gain spell, and granted you can survive a few initial blows, you can always end all battles with full health through sheer dice quantity
Under "bonus episodes" there's the Halloween special. the witch's episode is very cool! it doesn't have any luck and it's purely just puzzles I really recommend you check it out, even before you beat the rest of the game.
actually, there are mechanics introduced in later witch episodes that come up in the Halloween witch episode. so it might be harder/confusing if you play the Halloween one first. but definitely try it after! especially if you enjoy figuring out the optimal way to play and don't really care for all the luck
The most amazing thing about the witch to me is how her spellbook mechanic lets her circumvent a lot of debuffs. It's strangely thematic.
Silence can hurt though ;___;
@@Donkeyhead Silence is literally the hard counter for spell casters, why would this game be different when it is inspired by all types of rpgs.
@@internetexplorerpony it’s cool tho that other debuffs can be circumvented while silence is absolutely devastating against her. It’s interesting how they tried to keep each character balanced
I laughed my ass off when Tyler called the rat king stupid only for him to get the rest of the poison off anyway. The way he said it was just so funny to me.
Shame you got rid of hall of mirrors once you get it set up it is one of the most fun starts in the game. Roll them with like 20 dice per turn.
It's not that viable in reality, but I'm sure creating thousands of dice would make for a fun video
Hall of Mirrors on an upgraded slot honestly feels like godhood once it starts rolling...
our mystery sixth character is the silliest with dice accumulation though.
@@legendarytat8278 I mean, with illuminate and duplicate and a set up hall of mirrors, it’s definitely a very possible build to accomplish
gosh I once got so many dice set up with hall of mirrors and a counterspell+freeze combo that I stopped trying to win and just pursue the infinite dice so far that it just would stack the dice sprites on top of each other because they would not all fit in the area they were supposed to go into
For a character that revolves around and revels in the vast amounts of die to guarantee optimal plays and absurd control, Duplicate is vastly overpowered for how much freedom AND damage it provides. Witch should definitely prioritise that over doubling dice, I recon.
Tbh,with the deck that he ended up going with at the end it wouldn't have made sense,he basically doubled his chances of getting a 6 which was useful when his main damage output requiered sixes
@@GamerTowerDX yeah but when you consider how much of a snowball effect he could've achieved if he went hall of mirrors as well, both being in prepared status. Even if there were no sixes, duplicates are just too powerful to let go, evident of how blizzard+, cauldron+ and many others could create absolute havoc in mere seconds.
And you can infinite loop
I wonder if Tyler would ever make content on “The Escapists” seems like it would be a game up his ally
That's actually a genius idea. I miss that game. Might go rewatch someone randomly play it
I’m honestly kinda sad that Tyler doesn’t like the story for the game, but I am glad he really likes the game itself
Great Name/Reference and Same I wish he at least read the jester stuff
The story in the game sucks though, it's very stereotypical and doesn't even make that much sense.
yeah i'm not really sure how do i feel about this series. more dicey contents are good, of course, but if he's not gonna read the story then i don't really see why he should force himself to continue. i'm hoping that these videos are all pre-recorded in batch and he have had opportunities to read the comments in the meanwhile now. but otherwise i'm starting to be turned off by this series and don't think these videos are good to watch anymore, not gonna lie. i suppose i'll just have to wait for whatever the nxt series will be.
@@LeeTheSecond it might be a basic story, can't deny that, but it's a very important story to drive the events of the game. if you're not going to experience it fully why bother experiencing it at all, you know?
@@CDCHexaku he said in a previous episode that he doesn't like the writing of the game
I’m so happy that Tyler is playing this game, this has got to be one of my favorite rouge likes, and to see him play it makes me happy that this type of content is being made.
I can’t be the only one absolutely in love with the jester’s design
They're great.
I knew the Witch was gonna be his favorite.
Playing Witch at peak efficiency is the ultimate puzzle.
fun, here because of the speedrun but also because I have played this game and it is interesting
*delete hall of mirrors, after a few stage "extra dice is so cool"
I’m on Vacation out of my country so these come out right when I wake up instead of before I sleep, which is nice.
Also that witch build was amazing, and caldron seems really powerful
I'm surprised Tyler didn't see the potential of scaling through Hall of Mirrors
I know you don't really like the story, but I wish you had included the jester turning into a dice as the 6th character, even if you fully skipped the dialogue
don't you need to get past like, all the episodes of a character before you get the jester
@@Kaiasky No, only defeating Jester as a boss is necessary
@@Kaiasky he just got THAT lucky to get him as the 6th boss. To me he was 20th or something.
You say that a 5 and a 6 are difficult to get for hall of mirrors, but that's just a 1/6 chance for either number, much like all the other numbers, and it wasn't like any other item was using specifically a 5 and a 6. You also already had a couldron at the start of every fight, so you have "x starting dice + 1" for your opening hand, where x becomes higher the more levels you have since you get more starting dice.
It's unlikely that you'd get it off during your first turn, sure, but it allows for more dice to be used per fight, giving you more flexibility.
Yeah, one of the skills that you have to learn in this game is that a high number isn't necessarily a more important number.
Loving watching you play this game. Looking forward to the ascensions!
i notice Terry added an option to cancel casting a spell, which honestly i think that's a great addition
4:55 I need more Tyler saying “yeet” in my life
YES! Sounds like harder ascentions are on the menu, which is quite exciting!
i am here because the speedrun
me too lil bro
@@wooper4037 bro is 15
I love 7 am uploads! This is perfect way to start day
9 pm uploads for me perfect way to end my day
Love that Blizzard kind of became your work-horse spell in this run!
Tyler do you recognize people who comment consistently? I'm curious if you do, or if everyone just kinda blends together for you :)
He’s big enough that i think the comments just kind of get mixed together.
This series is the hypest
The characters just keep getting better!
Nice! Can't wait to download this game!
I’ve been loving this game, for the record hall of mirrors is insane and really good as it snowballs.
I forgot how much I loved this game
shame tyler doesnt read the dialog from the characters. the plot of this game is really easy to miss, but its one of the reasons the jester is my favorite. they have some really good lines when you battle them and everything.. the parts the videos don't show with the cutscenes might be my favorite part, if only because other rouguelikes dont do it to the same level of making me just like characters that are trying to kill me
These concepts are very interesting.
17:42 You used Flamethrower (which needs two dice) in the first Inventor video.
If/when you come back to Shotgun King, I suggest a challenge: Take all bishop buffs, regardless of the upsides
and leave a bishop alive when killing the final king
10:30 How about this, you sac a 5 and a 6 to get +1 die, then another 6 to get +2 dice total? If you sac 5 and 6 on turn 1, then another 6 on turn 2, by turn 3, you have net neutral in dice amount.
And on turn 4 you're ahead; by a lot. Hall of Mirrors is difficult to set up but the payoff is amazing.
@@malcolmw121 the issue being that by turn 4 most things are dead/are dead this turn anyway, so its kinda pointless, especilly given the rng it takes for it to even start
Thing is... he argues “it’s not worth to spend a 5 and a 6 to get an extra die... but magic key also requires a 5 and another die each round.
You can choose between spending a 6 to get a die for the rest of the fight, or any die to get one more die for one turn...
Considering most spells do flat damage, independent of the dice value... 6 aren’t that valuable anyways
I love midnight uploads
Hehe, I wonder if he will like the jester die, considering it'll be much more of a classic deck builder with that one lol
10:30 you don't need two dice if you put hall of mirrors in a prepared slot, but then it can't be upgraded.
Still it can give you infinite dice with the right setup.
the soundtrack is the best part of the game!
This is my favorite character!!! I played her soooooo much
So glad he figured out prepared spell slots lol
Was really looking forward to this episode in particular hoping for some tactics to use in my own game, cos I'm stuck on this character and haven't been able to progress
"I don't have enough dice to have two blizzards 😏😏"
Hall of Mirrors: ☹️
One tip is to put hall of mirrors in the sixth spot and then start with it so you activate it as Mitch as possible or get other spells
Honey, it's time for your daily aliensrock session
11:42 kinda funny how he was still wondering about the blinded dice even though he literally only had two possibilities, still good play though
Hey, Tyler! Here's a fun tip for the Witch! Have a dice and don't wanna throw it? If you have a spell that requires 2 dice to put into your hand, you can put the correct dice in there in order to actually store it in there for use! This means you don't need 1 turn to get a better spell, AND this means if you put another correct dice in there, and CANCEL the spell, you can get the dice back to use for THAT turn! It's honestly a really cool tech, and is a good reason why you should have at least one spell that requires 2 dice to use.
next episode will be quite interesting
Love your vids.
After your done with the main characters you can try out the bear which you get by being thief and when facing the alchemist you use their bear potion.
With spells that require 2 dices to be casted on the spellbook(like magic spear) u can use 1 dice ( so just a 2) and then end ur turn, and it will only need 1 extra 2 after so u dont have to discard a single 2 making stuff like magic spear even better
the witch rules so hard. shes so tricky but when a build works by god does it work. some of the episodes/modifiers are a miss, but some of them are really good and worth a play!
I love this game!
I personally struggle with Witch (I think), but eventually managed a win; the game threw me a bone by giving me Buster as the boss, who was pretty much hard countered by the ice spell I had.
Though I would also highly appreciate some tips for the later episodes.
A game you may enjoy is fantastic contraption classic on steam, a puzzle game about building a, well, fantastic contraption to get a pink object into a pink box. you may have heard of the vr game by the same name and it's definitely fun but i recommend the classic games for an introduction. theres countless user made levels and pre-made levels for you to play. give it a go some time!
That even required split a die probably benefits odd spell synergy.
Splitting a 2 gives 1 and 1
Splitting a 4 gives 1 and 3 or 2 and 2
Splitting a 6 gives 1 and 5, 2 and 4, or 3 and 3.
4 of the 6 ways you can get a split results in both odd dice while 2 of the 6 splits gives even.
So if you use odd dice spells then that turns the 50/50 success into 83/17 because 66% of your evens get converted to odds.
To get more specific, of the 12 possible returns, you get 1’s from 4, 2’s from 3, 3’s from 3, 4’s from 1, and 5’s from 1 out of the twelve.
Putting your most wanted spells in the 1, 2, and 3 slots would be the best chance of getting those if you have the even split spell…
better witch mechanic, when a dice is used in the spell book, you get the dice back and the throw dice changes to match that spell (eg. getting a cauldron makes throw dice give a new dice)
I wonder when will you discover the funny dice chucking build
Looking forward to Dicey Dungeons content every other day!!
Also I urge you to try hall of mirrors on a witch run, I know the initial cost doesn’t sound good, but if you can get it rolling (pun intended) it’s so much fun!
I LOVE UR VIDS SO MUCH
Aliensrock makes everything look so easy, took me so long to win with the witch...
I remember having a lot of trouble with the Witch, I ended up winning with a build that just spammed Meteors and did massive damage
Also throwing burned dice at the wicker man for 4 damage each was great
27:09 greatest gamer of all time?
can you see the dialog that the story has, look at the characters descriptions and stuff too
dicey dungeons becoming spicy fr
Super fun
Can you do the bear dice run? I’ve commented about it before but just in case you didn’t see it. While playing the Thief Dice on the second level if you get the alchemist fight and run it out until you get the bear potion you can use the potion to turn into the bear dice for the rest of the run.
26:48 He could have created another doppledice and double the 3 to deal 10 damage with the doubled
Personally I thought that hall of mirrors plus was really good. If you put it on an upgraded spot you just needed an even. I thought for the longer fights that was well worth it.
imagine if he's going to steal alchemist's bear potion and get something out of it
That’s actually how you unlock the Bear character, if you steal a bear potion and use it you gain access to it and for the remainder of that run you’ll play as. Bear
For anybody who's interested in the story, you are a part of a game by Lady Luck, and if you win you will get to ask for any wish to come true, but while you are there you:
1. Need to be a dice for the lulz.
2. Can't leave the place.
And to keep it short, nobody wins. Jester is the right hand man of Lady Luck, and the Witch is actually one of the enemies you can encounter. Sometimes they get turned into dice as punishment, and that's why there was no Jester in the scene after the boss, 'cause he said "Oh yeah we can actually leave!" and basically betrayed her.
27:12 this was hilarious to watch
If you do the witch in the bonus episode it’s like a puzzle game
it'd be funny if with every video and every new character, your explanation of the game would also get more complicated than the last time
I've never played this game, but tossing Hall of Mirrors seems like a bad play. Every time turn 1 or 2 you did "throw dice" you could have instead done Hall of Mirrors and gotten extra dice next turn.
So what would you say, so far, is your favorite and least favorite character?
Question: can you kill someone with a dice by throwing it at them repeatedly? How hard would you have to throw it to kill them? How fast?
26:48 You could've also made an instant blizzard and thrown the 3.
OMG IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I PLAYED, I LOVE WITCH, TOTALLY FORGOT SHE WAS THERE
Witch is so broken, honestly
@@orangejoe2147 probably why she's so damn *fun*
Not sure if this will get to you! But you are an incredibly unique UA-camr. The games you play are super interesting, and it’s always fun to have new and exciting content (love this game as well), keep it going!
There's a secret character if you use thief, once you get to the alchemist wait until the bear spell is used to kill them and copy that
I love to go for a mirror, cauldron, key and 1 attack deck with witch. You have 100 dice and you can just keep refreshing your spells by buying more to have way too many dice
this games so cool
28:29 i thought it scaled a spell down (-
13:18
ayo my man out here playing kingdom hearts he has access to 6 keyblades
Wow one year ago felt like so long
Please turn the volume of the music back up for the next vid! The soundtrack for this game absolutely slaps!
20:07 is call stupid luck XD
Just wait until the later levels of each character. The Witch in particular was the most difficult for me in Episode 4-5.
Oh, the witch's Hard Mode and Alternate Reality are NOTHING compared to her Hard Mode Bonus Round. That's a completionist's worst nightmare.
@@misirtere9836 i can confirm. it's my worst nightmare rn
@@Mioumi To put things in perspective, I started playing Dicey Dungeons on the 29th of December. (in 2019, not this year, but that's not really important) I had completed all of the Elimination Round levels by the 26th of January, and completed the 5th of 6 Hard Mode Bonus Rounds on the same day. So with the only thing left being this one Bonus Round, I had been playing for about a month.
After that, I had only 4 achievements left. These were:
- Complete the Witch's normal Bonus Round/Complete all 36 Episodes (31st of Jan)
- Use two Limit Breaks in 1 turn (13th of Feb)
- Stack 30 poison on an enemy before it dies (5th of JULY)
- Complete the Witch's Hard Mode Bonus Round (20th of *AUGUST)*
And let me make it clear that it's not like I wasn't trying. It's just so obscenely hard. I think I only got it because I stumbled into at least 2 Bonus Round conditions that ended up being beneficial, with the others being fairly benign.
Watching him get rid of Hall of mirrors hurt me inside
And now, a viewer commenting on a mistake nobody say coming:
AliensRock: I need a five & a six for Magic Mirror.
Me: *Why not just use the upgraded slot then?! You'll only need an even!*
witch is just a fun character
nice
can you do a bear run after this?
Did you know if you throw a bird dies burned it will deal an extra damage or two I'm not sure but more damage of bird dies that's all I can say and it doesn't trigger the hurt effect
yyyyyyooooooooooo dicey dungeons
