In AOTR, the dice seem to be a special item used to randomize or improve artifact stats , and community posts describe them as coming in multiple tiers.

How it appears to work

  • You use the dice on an artifact or similar item to roll for a different result.
  • The goal is usually to enhance or reshuffle stats rather than just get a cosmetic effect.
  • One recent post also suggests there may be a special “ascended dice” mechanic tied to a shrine or unlock area, though that appears to be from player discussion rather than an official guide.

What players are saying

“Dice (3 tiers, Used to randomize/enhance artifact's stats)”

That matches the idea that the dice are part of progression and item optimization, not a regular combat item.

Practical takeaway

If you’re trying to use it, the safest assumption is:

  1. Get the dice item.
  2. Apply it to the relevant gear or artifact.
  3. Expect a randomized stat change, possibly with better results at higher tiers.

The exact details may depend on the specific AOTR version or update, since the available info is mostly from recent player discussion rather than a full official explanation.

TL;DR: the dice in AOTR are basically a reroll/enhancement item for artifacts or stats, with higher tiers likely giving better outcomes.
