Miracle Dice are a powerful mechanic in Warhammer 40K, so use these top tips when facing the Adepta Sororitas. We want to help you tackle opponents using Miracle Dice, ensuring you maintain control and maximise your chances of victory.
Understanding Miracle Dice
Miracle Dice allow players to substitute dice rolls with predetermined results, providing a significant advantage. For example, an opponent can use Miracle Dice to ensure critical saves or successful attacks, which can be challenging to counter.
Key Strategies to Combat Miracle Dice
1. Prioritise Targets
One of the first steps in combating Miracle Dice is understanding what you can and cannot control. Players often put themselves on the back foot, assuming they have no influence over their opponent’s Miracle Dice. However, you can strategically target and eliminate units that generate these dice.
Triumph of Saint Katherine: This unit provides Miracle Dice each battleground until destroyed. Prioritise killing the Triumph early to limit the generation of Miracle Dice.
Unit Destruction: Each destroyed unit can generate additional Miracle Dice. Focus on eliminating units quickly and efficiently to reduce the number of dice accumulated.
2. Ask About Miracle Dice
Always ask your opponent what Miracle Dice they have at the start of each turn. This information is crucial for planning your attacks and defenses. Ensure that your opponent displays their Miracle Dice visibly, so you can keep track of the available values.
3. Use High AP Weapons First
When attacking, the order in which you resolve your attacks is critical. High AP weapons should be fired first to bypass regular saves and force your opponent to use their Miracle Dice early. This reduces the number of available Miracle Dice for subsequent attacks.
4. Kill High-Value Units First
Focus on eliminating high-value units that can affect the game significantly, such as Morvenn Vahl. These units can often use Miracle Dice for critical saves. By prioritizing these units, you reduce the effectiveness of your opponent’s strategy.
5. Maintain Distance
Against armies using Miracle Dice, maintaining an appropriate distance is essential. For instance, staying outside of a 12-inch threat range can be a safer strategy, as opponents might use Miracle Dice to achieve otherwise difficult charges. Extending your threat range helps mitigate the advantage provided by Miracle Dice.
6. Overcommit Shots
Avoid splitting your fire. Focus your attacks to ensure you overkill units. Knowing that overkilling will prevent your opponent from using Miracle Dice to save their units effectively. By concentrating your firepower, you can ensure the destruction of key units without giving your opponent a chance to respond.
Conclusion
By implementing these strategies, you can effectively combat opponents using Miracle Dice. Prioritize your targets, use high AP weapons first, maintain distance, and overcommit your shots to ensure key units are eliminated. These tactics will help you gain control of the battlefield and mitigate the impact of Miracle Dice.
