“Life's a gamble: it's always sink or swim... Betting on the unknown is more interesting than a sure win.”
—Dice talking to his daughter in Archanea Saga

Dice is a playable character in Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga and Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem. He is the father of Malice who ends up joining Rickard in taking treasures from the Archanean palace. He is a Fighter who resembles a Viking.

Subjective: The following part of this article is based upon the editor's personal experiences and opinions, and therefore may not be applicable for all readers.

Dice generally will cap his HP and Strength, along with average Skill, Luck, and Speed to boot. The only setback are his defenses: with a growth rate of 15%, Dice is likely to get low Defense, making him de facto a glass cannon. Regardless, he is still useful unit to have if Barst, Bord, or Cord were not properly trained or died. Should one seek to reclass Dice, Pirate/Berserker is recommended.

If the reclass sets have been merged, Dice's strangely high Resistance growth can be beneficial as a Dracoknight.

Etymology[]

Dice (the plural form of die) are common tools used in games of chance. This is appropriate given Dice's love of gambling.

Trivia[]

  • Dice is one of the few characters to have higher growth rates in the original SNES game than in New Mystery of the Emblem. In particular, Dice's Luck and Defense growths are much lower in the DS remake.
  • Dice's love of gambling is reflected by his choice of weapon, the Luck-based Devil Axe.
