Spud Dice

#Overview

Spud Dice throws 2 potato dice (its raw amount of 1 plus Tibo's base +1 amount, see Stats), 0.2 s apart, at the nearest pest every 2 s. The die explodes like a Spud Cannon shell: it hits the first pest it touches, or bursts at the end of its flight (2 s, 2.5 s with Tibo's base +25% duration), for 14 raw damage in a 20-unit radius. Before each throw it rolls a six-sided die, and the face changes the shot, as the in-game text says: “1 is a dud, 2 freezes, 3 burns, 4 splits, 5 pays gold, 6 blows up big.”

It is only offered on level-up cards and is not in the starting-weapon pool. At level 8 it throws 4 dice (raw amount 3 plus 1) every 1.6 s for 25 raw damage, with area 1.2 (24-unit blast). With Four-Eyed Spud owned, a chest evolves it into Loaded Dice.

#How it works

Each die rolls a uniform 1–6 when thrown. Luck is not used in the roll.

Freeze and burn durations are multiplied by Tibo's duration stat. The gold bonus is stored on the pest by the last hit it took, so it only pays out if no other hit lands before the pest dies.

Measured in the headless sim (tools/play.mjs, build 41 main-B2gf34bA.js, Standard, Normal, god mode, seeds s1, s2 and s3; the seeded starting weapon removed, the weapon given with give, spawning stopped after 4 s of play and the pests already on the field held at fixed spots with 10⁹ HP; pests held 40 to 110 units to Tibo's right): at level 1 it threw 2 dice every 2 s, each spawned with a 2.5 s lifetime, and volleys that rolled a split had 2 extra dice; at level 8 it threw 4 dice every 1.6 s. All three seeds gave the same figures.

#Tips

• Averaged over the six faces, a die's damage multiplier is about 1.2 (0.25, four faces at 1, and 3). A split die adds two full-damage dice on top. Expect variety from this weapon rather than a steady single-target damage dealer.
• The gold face works best on pests the blast can kill outright, such as crowds of weak pests.

#Stats

Values are the raw numbers from the game's definitions, before Tibo's global stat multipliers, difficulty and time scaling. In play, Tibo's base stats add +1 amount to every weapon except aura, cone, nuke and ring weapons, and make every duration ×1.25 (see Stats). Field names in code are the game's internal names. Attack descriptions such as “Melee slash” are this wiki's summary of the internal attack kind.

#Level progression

Each level-up adds the listed change to the weapon's raw values. Totals are cumulative.
