Best Badges in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Ranked
10. Badge of Defense
For those facing opponents who rely on powerful badges, the Badge of Defense is essential. It neutralizes the effects of your opponent's badges, rendering their perks ineffective. Available in Tin, Silver, and Gold, it counters badges of the same quality. This badge is your best defense against those using Warlord or Doppelganger badges. You can purchase it from Karl von Unterbruck (Under the Bridge, Trosky) or Minstrel Roxanne (random roadside camps).
9. Badge of Fortune
When the dice aren't in your favor, the Badge of Fortune can turn things around. It allows you to reroll selected dice once per game, helping you avoid a bust. The Tin version lets you reroll one die, Silver two, and Gold three. You can acquire this badge by pickpocketing or looting Vauquelin Brabant in Raborsch.
8. Badge of Transmutation
The Badge of Transmutation allows you to change a die post-roll. The Gold version turns any die into a 1, Silver into a 5, and Tin into a 3. Since 1 and 5 can score independently, this badge is crucial for maintaining your scoring streak. It's available for purchase from Henslin Schaber at roadside camps.
7. Badge of Might
If you're aiming to land big combos, the Badge of Might is your go-to. It adds an extra die to your roll, increasing your chances of high-scoring sets. The Gold version can be used three times per game, while Silver and Tin have fewer uses. Combine this with special dice for maximum points. Loot it from a hard lockpicking chest in Bathhouse Owner Adam’s office in Kuttenberg.
6. Warlord’s Badge
The Warlord’s Badge can give you a significant edge in a single turn, boosting your points dramatically. The Tin version increases points by 25%, Silver by 50%, and Gold doubles them. You can buy this badge from Innkeeper Weighman in Kuttenberg or from tavern staff.

If you frequently roll 1s with special dice, the Emperor’s Badge is crucial. It triples the points for the 1+1+1 formation, turning a 1,000-point throw into 3,000. It can be used repeatedly, making it ideal for quick point accumulation. Purchase it from Minstrel Roxanne at roadside camps.
2. Badge of Resurrection
