The wait is almost over—just five more days until the Dice Throne: Vanguard Kickstarter officially launches! For those who haven’t been following, Vanguard is a brand-new 4-hero set in the Dice Throne universe, each bringing unique mechanics and fresh gameplay twists. The first two heroes have already been revealed, and now we finally know the remaining pair rounding out the roster.
Who are the final two Dice Throne: Vanguard characters?
First up is the Sun Elf, a bright counterpart to the Moon Elf from Season 1. This radiant hero introduces the Sun Dial, a brand-new mechanic that starts on the Dusk side and gradually turns toward Dawn as you build energy. Each turn, you can increase the dial’s number, and when it reaches five, it flips—bringing new powers and effects into play. The dial isn’t just for show; you can spend its stored energy to boost your attacks with bonus damage. While bonus damage itself isn’t new, the strategic timing and resource management tied to the dial add a refreshing layer of depth. The Sun Elf also brings strong healing abilities to the table, making her a potent mix of resilience and controlled power.
The final hero—and possibly the standout of the set—is the Druid. True to the archetype, this hero can wild shape into two distinct animal forms: a cat and a bear. It’s a flavorful design choice that fits perfectly within the world of Dice Throne. While we’ve seen form-shifting before—like Phoenix transforming into Dark Phoenix—the Druid feels right at home with the nature theme. Based on their abilities, this hero seems like a tanky powerhouse, which could make them a top pick in free-for-all matches.
With all four heroes now revealed, the Vanguard lineup is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic sets Dice Throne has ever released.
