10. Badge of Defense
While many players focus on powerful offensive badges, the Badge of Defense offers a crucial counter-strategy. This badge neutralizes your opponent's badges, rendering their perks useless. Available in Tin, Silver, and Gold, each tier counters badges of the same quality. If you're facing opponents who rely on Warlord or Doppelganger badges, this is your essential defense.
Locations: Karl von Unterbruck (Under the Bridge, Trosky) or Minstrel Roxanne (random roadside camps).
9. Badge of Fortune
Even the most skilled players experience unlucky rolls. The Badge of Fortune provides a lifeline, allowing you to reroll selected dice once per game. The Tin version rerolls one die, Silver allows two, and Gold grants three rerolls. This is invaluable for recovering from a potentially disastrous roll.
Location: Pickpocketed or looted from Vauquelin Brabant in Raborsch.
8. Badge of Transmutation
The Badge of Transmutation lets you manipulate your dice after the roll. The Gold version transforms any die into a 1, Silver changes it to a 5, and Tin turns it into a 3. Since 1 and 5 are valuable scores, this badge is perfect for maintaining your momentum.
Location: Purchased from Henslin Schaber (roadside camps).
7. Badge of Might
Looking to increase your chances of landing high-scoring combinations? The Badge of Might adds an extra die to your roll. The Gold version offers three uses per game, while Silver and Tin have fewer uses. Combine this with special dice for maximum point potential.
Location: Looted from a hard lockpicking chest in Bathhouse Owner Adam’s office (Kuttenberg).
6. Warlord’s Badge
Sometimes, a single decisive round can win the game. The Warlord’s Badge significantly boosts your points for one turn. The Tin version adds 25%, Silver adds 50%, and Gold doubles your points. Use this strategically for a game-changing advantage.
Locations: Innkeeper Weighman in Kuttenberg or tavern staff.
5. Badge of Headstart
Gain an immediate advantage with the Badge of Headstart, which awards bonus points at the beginning of the game. Even the lower tiers (Silver and Tin) provide a substantial lead. The Gold version offers the most significant initial boost.
Locations: Minstrel Roxanne (roadside camps) or some tavern staff in Kuttenberg.
4. Doppelganger Badge
Maximize your points with the Doppelganger Badge, which doubles the score of your last roll. This is incredibly powerful after a successful throw. The Gold version allows three uses per game, while Silver and Tin have fewer uses.
Locations: Secret Prayer Room Innkeeper in Kuttenberg or Minstrel Roxanne.
3. Emperor’s Badge
For players who utilize special dice that frequently roll 1s, the Emperor’s Badge is a must-have. It triples the points for the 1+1+1 combination, transforming a 1,000-point throw into a 3,000-point score. Its reusable nature makes it a high-value asset.
Location: Minstrel Roxanne (roadside camps).
2. Badge of Resurrection
A busted roll can be devastating, but the Badge of Resurrection offers a second chance. If you roll a bust, this badge lets you reroll all dice. The Gold version provides three uses, while Silver and Tin have fewer.
Location: Minstrel Roxanne (roadside camps).
1. Badge of Advantage
Considered the best badge in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the Badge of Advantage unlocks unique scoring combinations that wouldn't normally count. Each tier unlocks a different combo: Carpenter’s Badge (Tin) – 3+5; Executioner’s Badge (Silver) – 4+5+6; Priest’s Badge (Gold) – 1+3+5. Its reusability makes it exceptionally powerful.
Locations: Minstrel Roxanne or Henslin Schaber (roadside camps).
