You should lock dice that are showing a symbol you think you’ll most need after your current roll.

For example: If you are going for an attack, lock swords. If you are going on defensive, lock shields. If you are trying to match a combo, lock symbols that are part of an onscreen combo.

Sometimes you might want to lock symbols that charge the skill of certain dice for that extra edge.

Try also to think of the distribution of symbols on your active dice. If you have to choose between several dice displaying the same symbol, choose the dice that has the least of those symbols.

Also remember, sometimes it makes sense to not lock any dice but instead throw them all and accumulate locks for later use when something more useful is on the table.

TIP: Tap and hold the green Info button (or lock indicator) to quickly review the face distribution of your active team!
