Analysis

Dice joins around the midgame with serviceable base stats, with a particularly high personal strength of 8, and serviceable growth rates. Dice's greatest strength is his C rank in axes as this allows him wield effective weapons such as theHammer andPoleaxe. Dice also joins at a high enough level to early promote and make use of theDracoknight class. Dice can double and one round dragons inChapter 12, even on Lunatic mode, with a forgedWyrmslayer when reclassed to aSwordmaster and given aSpeedwing as well as aRainbow Tonic.

Despite all of these aforementioned strengths, Dice isn't a particularly strong unit. Getting him to the level necessary to one round dragons requires heavy investment for a unit who doesn't have particularly high growth rates and most of his strengths are achievable by many other playable units inNew Mystery, such asMinerva, who joins earlier, prepromoted and has higher weapon ranks orDarros who joins one chapter later with higher personal base stats in strength, HP and speed. Due to the large number of units who can easily surpass his performance, Dice is mostly a filler unit for the midgame that will quickly get outclassed by stronger units.
